Big Loud Gun

she found a friend in a big loud gun
she found a friend in a big loud gun
aw hell

she keeps the gun in a big loud grin
she keeps the gun in a big loud grin
aw hell
she keeps that gun in a big loud grin

she made a move with a big loud play
she keeps the play in a silent way
aw hell
she keeps that play in a silent way yeah

she wanna, she wanna, she wanna
she wanna choose you
she wanna, she wanna, she wanna
she wanna use you
she wanna, she wanna, she wanna
she wanna lose you
she wanna, she wanna
shoot that gun

i found a friend in a centerfold
i keep the centerfold in my eyes
hot damn
i'm gonna take my friend out tonight
she believes in love at first sight
aw hell
aw no, no, no
oh yeah, she keeps that grin all blisterin' bright yeah

she wanna, she wanna, she wanna
she wanna choose you
she wanna, she wanna, she wanna
she wanna use you
she wanna, she wanna, she wanna
she wanna lose you
she wanna, she wanna, she wanna
she wanna ride you
she wanna break you
she wanna bleed you
she wanna, she wanna shoot that gun

shoot that gun, shoot that gun, shoot that gun
ready, aim, fire!
bang bang

Fee Fie Foe Fum

i'm no slave but i'm not free
what does my fellow man think from across the sea?
i'm no seer but i'm not blind
down the present path you know what we will come to find

here we are in the land of the free
i'm not sure what that means and that don't seem right to me
this road's been cut by a giant so strong
he's so tall and sees so far we're sure that he's not wrong

but look out fellas here he comes
with a root and a toot and a hum and a drum
and a fee and a fie foe fum
oh no!

please don't hate me for my captor

my my, this giant has many heads
and wears a thousand suits
and leaves his mark on foreign lands
with hired guns and boots

i'm only me and i work and bleed
but with this i can't agree
but i'm only one so what can be done?
i can't change what i see

giant, giant, hear me cry
giant, giant, head in the sky
lower your fist and raise your mind
you kill and i don't know why

feet so big and blade so tall
swingin' that thing til the enemies fall
my apologies, back to work
you'll never change at all

so look out fellas here he comes!
with a root and a toot and a hum and a drum
and a fee and a fie foe fum
oh no!

please don't hate me for my captor
don't fear me but fear his laughter
 

Carpe Freakin' Diem

once i was a liar
once i was a thief
you were kinda ugly
i was kinda mean

once you had a woman
now she is a man
probably up in cape cod
naked in the sand

come on take another
opportunity
change is always comin'
wheeee!
come on have another
slice of roast beef
carpe freakin' diem

once you were a ballerina
dancing in the sun
once i was a cowboy
playing with a gun

then we started makin' out
and left it all behind, now it's
work sleep drink hump
til the day we die

come on take another
look at it today
change is always comin
yaaaaaaay!!
old regrets and memories
wash it all away
carpe freakin' diem

by the way
can I say
i woke up today
i've seen the way
and it's okay

take it fast
take it slow
get high
get low
but practice safer sex

maybe i should start my own denomination
call it We Don't Know What's Goin' On
and tour the nation!

come on take another
another piece of me
throw it in the fire
wheeeeee!!
old regrets and memories
don't belong to me
carpe freakin' diem
 

Under Control

god damn i feel good
my head is throbbin
my mouth feels like a boot
i'm poopin' water
i can't see straight no more
i'm walkin funny
things are bad under the hood
i think i'm dying

where has my life gone?
i used to have it
all under control

but now i'm really fat
helpless and dead to the world
just sittin on my couch
wishin i was a pretty girl
i'm alive i'm alive cuz
uncle sam pays me not to
die, which i would cuz
everybody should

they tell me that i feel good
and i believe it
this happens to me every day
i think i'm happy
my body is now a shell
but i don't care cuz
i've got tv cigarettes and pop
to fill the void

mother said be good
and take care
i feel like i'm trying
but it's really hard
mother said be good
and take care
but it's really hard

because the slogans control my world
and make me do the things
she said i never should
i never should

where has my life gone?
i used to have it
all under control

but this isn't me
i'm lost somewhere inside
no this isn't me
it's so hard to try

mother said be good
and take care
mother said be good
and take care
mother said goodbye from the
electric chair

so kill the world
kill the world
kill the world
because the world
killed my mother
killed my dreams
killed my children
killed me
kill the world
kill the world
kill the world
i'll kill the world by
killing my mind yeah
killing my mind yeah

god damn i feel good
god damn i feel good
god damn i feel good
god damn i feel good
my head is throbbing
 

Three Cheers

what is glory?
what's nobility?
dead

show me the the glory in
pushin' and traffickin'
where is the honor in
making your name in it?
if killin' was charity
and blowin' was therapy
i'd give you a pat on the back
and we'd all cheer you on
and shout

one for the killers
one for the dealer's fame
one for the junkies
one for the devil's game

too bad doin' good ain't your game
oh no
so if you want cheers for
living shame every day
well come on, hip hip hooray!

show me the way to win
by killing her innocence
if raping was healing
and stealing was feeding
and greed was giving
then we'd all cheer

one for the losers
one for the rapist-grin
one for the demon trapped in the man
and one for a world of sin!
yeah buddy!

too bad that ain't your game
oh no
so if you want cheers for
living shame every day
well come on, hip hip hooray!
you win!

winner!

hip hip hooray!
hip hip hooray!
hip hip hooray!
 

Save The World

nine o' clock surprises me
with pounding on my door
standing is a gentle man
i've never seen before

'a pleasure to meet
i live down the street
have you a minute to spare?'
being kind i didn't mind
despite my underwear

twenty minutes takes his time
in telling me a tale
finally sports a bible
and says 'jesus will prevail'

i shoulda guessed
my kindly guest
was just another guy
like the guys
in suits and ties
that run around and cry

save the world!
from people who are
taking the world
from those who
saved the world
so we can save the world!

you've got to be kidding me
are you actually telling me
that you and they believe
that it's our place to be

saving the world
from people who think they are saving the world
from people like you trying to save the world
from other people saving the world?

sick

let me tell you somethin brother
i don't know what you learned from mother
but the reason the world needs saving
is because you guys believe
that everybody else is wrong
and that savior's got to bleed

save the world
from people who are killing the world
by trying to save the world
from other people saving the world
and save it
 

The STD Song

well i'm a young boy
insecure boy
gel my hair and
spend daddy's money boy

i'm a white boy
not a smart boy
just a teenage
when's life start boy

so what's gonna make me a man?
when will i understand
what makes me who i am?
when will it stop being
just me and my hand?
who's gonna join my band?
what's gonna make me a man?
dad makes a hundred grand
in a chair out in the sand
what's gonna make me a man?

well i'm a driven boy
a down to business boy
a find a girl and a
show her who's boss boy

but i'm a young boy
an untouched boy
get the picture i'm a
had no woman boy

she's a hot girl
not a shy girl
a say yes and
don't ask why girl

she's a tall girl
a got balls girl
a slow-motion
down the hall girl

she's gonna make me a man
she'll make me understand
what makes a man a man
she looks me in the eye
and takes me by the hand
heheh i'm gonna join her band
and see her wonderland
dad makes a hundred grand
naked in a chair in the sand
i'm gonna be that kind of man

there she is naked
on my bed beckoning
here i am naked
staring and reckoning
she's calm and sexy
smiling at my shyness
stroking my neck and
kissing away my dryness

what do i do
i'm only seventeen
what do i do
with this unfamiliar scene
what do i do
i hope i can perform
what do i do
i tried to learn from porn

oh god
here we go
i used to only imagine
but now i really know
now i understand those hippies
and all their nudity
this moment will transform me
this moment of purity

i think that i'm in love
i could love her all night long
this angel from above
and just like that she's gone

uh, what?
it itches
why does it itch?
what the hell is going on!

what's goin' on?
something ain't right!
i mean i was
okay last night
should i tell mom?
maybe a doctor?
what's goin' on?

oh god it's
herpes! herpes!

don't say a word

that's what i'll do now,
yeah, that's what i'll do now
cuz now that i'm a man
i can make a better judgement call
to share my love and spread my seed
and no one will ever suspect me
at all

 

Jump Start

two dozen hours of
ten ton solitude
i think i've had enough

too damn many
empty chairs around me
can i call you up

to be
my
jump start

my two faces are
both eatin' mud again
can you pull them up

my two hands are
up to no good again
can you fill them up

and be
my
jump start

dead generators and
dead capacity
make a dead part of me

well i better think fast
cuz i'm slippin through the cracks
can i take this time around me
to address the man inside of me

won't
you
be
my
jump start
 

99 Bars

how much too much did i drink last night
to think that you were kind?
how far too far did i take this lie?
i must'been outta my mind

i don't know, now i got
Bitch in tow, but i
can't say no to those
pretty eyes

how bad too bad do you need to know
that guys you play with get weak in the knees?
how hard too hard would you take it to know
that they think you're irresistable sleeze?

i don't know, but you're a
bitch in tow, still we
can't say no to those
pretty eyes
low too low, you go
low too low, still we
can't say no to those
pretty eyes

hey hey hey
you don't have to go that way
hey hey hey

i don't know
i don't know
 

About Love

you don't wanna talk about love
well that's good
cuz i don't wanna hear about it
but every other thing we say
makes a blush
or a glance
or a reach for that stein of beer

and i don't wanna sing about love
and that works
cuz you've had it up to here with that shit
when every other guy you see
makes a pass
and i don't
and i know that's why you're here

but instead of staring at the walls
we can let each other's faults
be the crimes that get us into bed
and as wisdom always states
be a prude and you'll be safe
but sometimes wisdom is better off dead

just watch how this one
gets me into trouble

people always say that love hurts
it's not true
i'll tell you what i've found about it
lovin' someone else
is pure joy in itself
it only hurts when you do it
too many times in one day
yeeeehehehe!
