INVISIBLE MAN
(Martin)

i’ll thump your head and make you look
i’ll turn the pages of your book
i’ll flip the butter off your toast
i’ll make you think that i’m a ghost

i’ll steal your money eat your food
i’ll walk around your whole house nude
i’ll stick my tongue in your girlfriends ear
and  you will always live in fear

i’m invisible i’m see thru
can’t see me but i see you
i’m the invisible man
can’t take a picture can’t get a tan
you can’t tell if i’m a boy or a man
i’m the invisible man

i’ll put your underwear on your head
you’ll be so scared you’ll wet the bed
i’ll bite you when you’re on the phone
and i just won’t leave you alone

i’ll change the channel on your t.v.
i’ll shake you when you try to pee
i’ll make your life a living hell
you’ll only know me by your smell
SO MUCH NOTHING
(barrows)

there’s so much nothing here
i can’t believe my eyes
and the whole things televised
and there’s a never ending
audience each day
and i shouldn’t be surprised

there’s so much nothing i can’t breath
it’s make believe

it’s very vacant here
there’s nothing going on
the population’s gone
a dunce parade a cheap charade
is all that’s left
it’s a moron marathon

it’s so damn empty here
it’s life without a prayer
and no one even cares
the actors say their lines

the audience applauds
and nothing can compare
HAPPY HOUR
(barrows)

put on a stupid smile
just be yourself awhile
it’s happy hour

put on a brand new suit
you won’t look destitute
it’s happy hour

put on your happy face
go join the human race
it’s happy hour

it’s really not so bad
look at your mom and dad
it’s happy hour

put on your sunday best
go out and beat your chest
it’s happy hour

think of a happy song
good things don’t last too long
it’s happy hour
YOU
(barrows/martin)

hole in my head
filth in my bed
fly in my stew
stone in my shoe

you

knife in my back
dead in my track
last in my class
pain in my ass

you

fake in my pose
smell in my nose
smoke in my eye
truth in my lie

you
 
KAREN # 5
(martin)

number 1 sat beside me in school
number 2 played me for a fool
number 3 broke my heart in two
number 4 just wanted to screw

why me? it’s a mystery
it’s just a name but it brings misery
i took a dive but i’m still alive
i hope i survive karen #5

number 1 was just a crush
number 2 was a first love rush
number 3 was a fairy tail
number 4 was a drunken failure

maybe i’m in love with the name
maybe i’m the one to blame
maybe you should date a michelle
 
TOO MANY ENEMIES
(barrows)

see my back the one of mine
the one you like to talk behind
i know your game so do your best
i hope you’re better than the rest

i know you’re not a friend of mine
so take a number stand in line

see my back it’s really nice
so stab it once or stab it twice
you’ll never be my valentine
so be an enemy of mine

don’t sleep too well with friends like these
i’ve got  too many enemies
 
I HATE MY FRIENDS
(barrows)

they need replaced
they’re so two-faced

i hate my friends

they’ve earned my hate
they’re just dead weight

i hate my friends

they lie they suck
they’re just bad luck

i hate my friends
PONYTAIL
(barrows)

hey ponytail
hey what’s your name
now i’ll never be the same

hey ponytail
hey little girl
you just fucked up my world

i remember what it feels like
to be a fool
i don’t want to be a fool

hey ponytail
hey what’s your name
now i’ll never be the same
hey ponytail what’s your name
now i’ll never be the same
 
DORIS THE SPIDER
(martin)

here she comes 
with beer in hand
sees a fly and 
she will land
she can hardly 
even walk
but she wraps 
you in a web of talk

she says things 
that don’t make sense

soon your muscles start to tense
her voice will get inside your head
trap you like a spiders web

spider girl talks to me it’s a tragic comedy
doris the spider alcohol inside her

try to listen to the who
the only thing i hear is you
now you’re passed out on the floor
i can’t hear you anymore

i bet she talks even when she sleeps
girls like her give me the creeps
i wonder where she lays her eggs
i’m glad she only has two legs

you make noises like a bug
you’ll get squashed into the rug
doris the spider
alcohol inside her
WRECK ME
(barrows)

drive me hard like i’m a car
and bounce me off of walls
drive me like you’re stupid
and fucked up on alcohol

drive me like you hate me
like you don’t even care
run my ass right off the road
and flip me in the air

drive me like you mean it
and do it with some force
drive me like an idiot
on a collision course

drive me like a lunatic
out on a wrecking spree
drive me till  there’s nothing left
until you ruin me

demolition baby
on a demolition date
curves ahead you’re dead
HAPPY BOY
(martin)

happy boy happy faces
all the children in their places
on this birthday celebration
waiting in anticipation

children squirming in their chairs
they’ve forgotten all their cares
little girl spits out her gum
she’s waiting for the cake to come

swinging doors are pushed aside
happy boy is satisfied
ice cream in every dish
close your eyes and make a wish

mother standing by his chair
candles too close to his hair
see his clothes and hair ignite
happy boy is burning bright
WHAT WAS I THINKING?
(martin)

you are never what you seem
i must have lost my self esteem
i kept coming back for more
now i can’t remember just what for

when i’m with you i’m all alone
i fall asleep while you’re on the phone
your little mind goes here and there
i might as well just be a chair

you’re rude and inconsiderate
on top of that you’re an idiot

i hate your games
i hate your voice
guess i made
another bad choice

now i’ve opened up my eyes
i know what you do with the guys
every time you call me honey
i know you’re gonna ask for money

you get high and watch t.v.
walk around and ignore me
you play with the knob on the radio
and act surprised when i start to go

you’re rude and inconsiderate
on top of that you’re an idiot

it’s not about love
it’s not about sex
i’m asking you
to be my ex
CRESCENT RED
(martin)

holy man cover your head
spill more blood crescent red
school  on fire lock them in
they can burn but not show skin

savage beast blood feast
tell me about your
religion of peace

cut off hands cut off hands
drag the sinners from their beds
death to every infidel
praying that they burn in hell

holy man cover your head
spill more blood crescent red
kill until it’s time to pray
face the east five times a day

I BELIEVE
(Buzzcocks)

In these times of contention it's not my intention to make things plain
I'm looking through mirrors to catch the reflection that can't be mine
I'm losing control now I'll just have to slow down a thought or two
I can't feel the future and I'm not even certain that there is a past

I believe in the worker's revolution
And I believe in the final solution
I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the shape of things to come
And I believe in I'm not the only one
Yes I believe in
I believe in

When I poison my system I take thoughts and twist them into shapes
I'm reaching my nadir and I haven't an idea of what to do
I'm painting by numbers but can't find the colours that fill you in
I'm not even knowing if I'm coming or going if to end or begin

I believe in the immaculate conception
And I believe in the resurrection
And I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the elixir of youth
And I believe in the absolute truth
Yes I believe in
I believe in

There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore

I've fallen from favour while trying to savour experience
I'm seeing things clearly but it has quite nearly blown my mind
It's the aim of existence to offer resistance to the flow of time
Everything is and that is why it is will be the line

I believe in perpetual motion
And I believe in perfect devotion
I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the things I've never had
I believe in my Mum and my Dad
And I believe in
I believe in

There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore

I'm skippin' the pages of a book that takes ages for the foreword to end
Triangular cover concealing another aspect from view
My relative motion is just an illusion from stopping too fast
The essence of being these feelings I'm feeling I just want them to last

I believe in original sin
And I believe what I believe in
Yes I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the web of fate
And I believe in I'm going to be late
So I'll be leavin'
What I believe in

There is no love in this world anymore
 

COTTON MATHER
 (Barrows)

we're going on a witch hunt 
we're gonna blame and burn
we'll set a firm example
so the rest will learn
we'll cast out those
who live in sin
it's a bad bad world
we need discipline
i wanna rule your life and soul
i want absolute control
i'm big brother i'm everywhere
hold you down and keep you there
we're gonna be the jury
we're gonna be the judge
we're the powers that be
and we won't budge
the cops and laws
the tools of my trade
get out of linewe'll dig your grave

 

RATS
(barrows)

i'm a rat in a cage got nowhere to go
i sit and stare time goes slow

this damn rat race
it's killing me
in my last leg

i'm a rat in a treadmill i'll run real fast
around and around i can't catch my ass

this damn rat race
it's killing me
the end of my rope

i'm a rat in a trap i feel the pain
there's no escape from my domain

this damn rat race
it's killing me
at my wits end

this damn rat race
it's killing me
i'll climb the wall

 

HEROES
(Bowie/Eno)
I-I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins-like dolphins can swim
Though nothing-nothing will keep us together
We can beat them-for ever and ever
Oh we can be heroes-just for one day

I-I will be king
And you-you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be heroes-just for one day
We can be us-just for one day

I-I can remember
Standing-by the wall
And the guns-shot above our heads
And we kissed-as though nothing could fall
And the shame-was on the other side
Oh we can beat them-forever and ever
Then we could be heroes-just for one day

We can be heroes 
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
Just for one day
We can be heroes
 
S&M PARTY
(Red Kross)

 you tied my hands together
i couldn't feel the pain
i closed my eyes just before
you hit me again
left by myself
i've lost my self-respect
i swear i never want to feel
another cigarette

i've had my fill of whips and chains
of S&M parties all going to my brain
bondage torture every Friday night
this shit doesn't seem right
i'm black and blue from living
i'm red all over from living
tell me that you loved me
that you really cared
but then you slapped my face
then you pulled my hair
i'm black and blue from living
i'm red all over from living

 

THEME SONG TO 'FRIENDS' 
(Rembrants /revised by Barrows)
you didn't know that it was gonna be this way
your life's a joke, and you're all fucked up anyway 
seems like you're always sucking someone's rear,
you haven't had a bath for a week, a month
a year

but, I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you 
'cause you beat up on me too

You're life's a bitch but fine, i wanna slap your face
I wanna poke your eyes out, shower you in mace 
seems like you always act so infantile
You got a trendy tv show and a dumb hairstyle 

but, I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there fuck you 
'cause you beat up on me too
 
I'VE GOT THE MUSIC IN ME
(KIKI DEE)

Ain't got no trouble in my life,
No foolish dream to make me cry.
I'm never frightened or worried,
I know I'll always get by.
I heat up (I heat up)
I cool down (I cool down)
When something gets in my way I go round it.
Don't let life get me down
Gonna take life the way that I found it.

CHORUS
I got the music in me
I got the music in me
I got the music in me
I got the music in me
I got the music in me
I got the music in me

They say that life is a circle (circle)
But that ain't the way that I've found it.
Gonna move in a straight line (ooh)
Keeping my feet firmly on the ground.
I heat up (I heat up)
I cool down (I cool down)
I got words in my head so I say them.
Don't let life get me down,
Catch a hold of my blues and just play them.

CHORUS

Feel funky
Feel good
Gonna tell ya
I'm in the neighbourhood
Gonna fly like a bird on the wing
Hold on to your hat honey,
Sing, sing, sing, sing
Heat up, cool down (cool down)
I got words in my head so I say them
Don't let life get me down (Don't let it get ya down)
Catch a hold of my blues and just play them.

CHORUS x2

Ain't got no trouble in my life,
No foolish dream to make me cry.
I'm never frightened I'm never worried,
I know, I know I'll always get by.


I got the music
Pretty music
I got the music
In me

Don't let it get ya down
Don't let it get ya down
Don't let it get you down
Don't let it get ya down
Don't let it get ya down
Don't let it get you down
Ha, ha, ha, ha

CHORUS

Don't let it get ya down
Don't let it get ya down
Don't let it get you down

I got the music in me
I got the music in me
I got the music in me
Don't let it get ya down
Don't let it get ya down
Don't let it get you down

MONSTERS
(barrows)

when i was young i used to believe in monsters
on my t.v., in magazines there's monsters
at night i used to dream about them
never did i ever doubt them
when i was young i used to believe in monsters

then one day i found out there's no monsters
they're just lies to my suprise no monsters
they're just made to help sell stories
of graveyards, crypts, and laboratories
damn the day i found out there's no monsters

absent for a while were the monsters
i always frowned until i found the monsters
i found that they're still here to grace us
but now they're wearing human faces
people are more hideous than monsters
damn the day i found out there are monsters
people are more hideous than monsters

 
I RAN (SO FAR AWAY)
(Flock of Seagulls)

I walked along the avenue.
I never thought I’d meet a girl like you;
Meet a girl like you.
With auburn hair and tawny eyes;
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through;
Hypnotize me through.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldn’t get away.

A cloud appears above your head;
A beam of light comes shining down on you,
Shining down on you.
The cloud is moving nearer still.
Aurora borealis comes in view;
Aurora comes in view.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldn’t get away.

Reached out a hand to touch your face;
You’re slowly disappearing from my view;
Disappearing from my view.
Reached out a hand to try again;
I’m floating in a beam of light with you;
A beam of light with you.

And I ran, I ran so far away.
I just ran, I ran all night and day.
I couldn’t get away.
 
OH! BONDAGE UP YOURS
(X-Ray Specs)
Bind me tie me
Chain me to the wall I wanna be a slave
To you all

Oh bondage up yours
Oh bondage no more
Oh bondage up yours
Oh bondage no more

Chain-store chain-smoke

Chain-gang chain-mail
I don't think at all

Oh bondage up yours
Oh bondage no more
Oh bondage up yours
Oh bondage no more

Thrash me crash me
Beat me till I fall
I wanna be a victim
For you all

 

RUNNIN DOWN
(Lisa Lombardo/Tim Storm)


what's the solution
i can't tell
i can't sleep now
i'm runnin down

everyone give me 
advive for free
i pay no heed
i'm runnin down

i'm runnin down
runnin down
runnin down to hell

what's the future
it's not for me
my time is short
i'm runnin down

everyone hates me
i don't care
i get fucked up
in my underwear

 

I GOT YOU
(Split Enz)

I got you - that's all I want
I won't forget - that's a whole lot
I don't go out - not now that you're in
Sometimes we shout - but that's no problem

I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin'

Look at you - you're a pageant
You're everything - that I've imagined
Somethings wrong - I feel uneasy
You show me - tell me you're not teasin'

I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lyin'
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, can you tell me you're not lyin'

There's no doubt - not when I'm with you
When I'm without - I stay in my room
Where do you go - I get no answer
You're always out - it gets on my nerves

I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lying
(But) I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, can you tell me you're not lyin'
I don't know why sometimes I get frightened
You can see my eyes, you can tell that I'm not lying

 

PRETTY IN PINK
 (Psychadelic Furs)

caroline laughs and it's raining all day
she loves to be one of the girls
she lives in the place in the side of our lives
where nothing is ever put straight
she turns her self round and she smiles and she says 
"this is it that's the end of the joke"
and loses herself in her dreaming and sleep
and her lovers walk through in their coats

pretty in pink
isn't she pretty in pink
isn't she...

all of her lovers all talk of her notes
and the flowers that they never sent
and wasn't she easy
and isn't she pretty in pink
the one who insists he was first in the line
is the last to remember her name
he's walking around in this dress that she wore
she is gone but the joke's the same

pretty in pink
isn't she pretty in pink
isn't she...

caroline talks to you softly sometimes
she says "i love you" and "too much"
she doesn't have anything you want to steal
well, nothing you can touch
she waves...she buttons your shirt
the traffic is waiting outside
she hands you this coat
she gives you her clothes
these cars collide

pretty in pink
isn't she pretty in pink
isn't she...
 
FABULOSITY
(Submachine)

Hey sister what's it like in Greece? 
I'd like to hear but I gotta sleep
Try to think aesthetically? 
I try to think when I try to feed

Another week like another week,
So fabulous to be free
I'm the master of my meat 
is what I like to think when I get to drink

Hey sister what's it like to be me? 
Wanna open my journal of nothing? 
Leisure life angst I find boring
humiliation forty hours weekly

Taking boredom as long as I can
getting used to being a man
And February sucked again
with yesterday on the horizon

Soft hands draw telescope notes 
yelling out secrets of your soul
Imported beer might bring you close 
to drug store thieves and hookers on dope

I'd like to love you but I'd love to trade 
your notebooks and purse full of pain 
for my bills that say unpaid
and forty more years that'll be the same

 
FUCK MADONNA
(Barrows)
fuck Madonna she's passe 
down with disco cabaret
fuck Madonna, she's a snob
she can't get a real job
fuck Madonna and her dancers
they're just swishy little prancers
fuck Madonna she's not pretty
and her music's really shitty
fuck Madonna ...
fuck Madonna and her lawyers
i don't care if they destroy her
fuck Madonna's sense of fashion
pointed titties aren't my passion
fuck Madonna ... 
fuck Madonna and her book
for fifty dollars i won't look
fuck Madonna's truth or dare
egotistic millionaire
fuck Madonna...
 

REAL LIFE
(Barrows)

it feels like i'm waiting for the ending to a joke
it feels like a dream i had after i awoke
it feels like a year but it hasn't been a day
it feels like i'm here but i'm really far away
it feels like a car skidding out of control
it feels like a game that's got no goal
it feels like an off time metronome
it feels like a prison but it's just my home
it feels like a riddle that never makes sense
it feels like thieves for president's
it feels like a feeling i can't define
and i'm still waiting for that damn punch line
real life is so appealing
because i get these special feelings
real life is so appealing
sometimes i just store at the ceiling
 
TORTURE YOURSELF
(Martin)
you've got no friends no social life
you've no girlfriends got no wife 
You thought bondage might amuse you
You've got no one to abuse you

you wish you had someone to do it
Its so easy nothing to it
whips go unused on your shelf
the answer is torture yourself

torture yourself you know you wanna
torture yourself and no one's gonna
help you out you're on your own
torture yourself in your own home

Tie your ankles to the bed
bend over now and give yourself some head
Be glad you took that yoga class
take a belt whip your ass

Now you're really having fun
Don't stop yet there's more to come
be sure to lick the toilet clean
squeeze your balls until you scream

torture yourself you know you wanna
torture yourself and no one's gonna
help you out you're on your own
torture yourself in your own home

you've got no friends no social life
you've no girlfriends got no wife 
You thought bondage might amuse you
You've got no one to abuse you

EX-LION TAMER
(Wire)

There's great danger
For the loneliest ranger of all
No silver bullets
Tonto's split the scene

Next week will solve your problems
But now, fish fingers all in a line
The milk bottles stand empty
Stay glued to your T. V. set

There's great danger
At hand most caped crusader of all
No cloak of justice
Robin's flown the nest

Stay glued to your T. V. set
No t.v. party tonight


JEALOUS AGAIN
(Ginn/Black Flag)
You’re jealous again
No, she’s just a friend
Why can’t I do anything without being yelled at? 
Always on the phone
Never leave me alone
Why don’t you just tell me what you want from me

Said I’ll never leave you, no I’ll never leave you
It’s not the end, no it’s not the end

I won’t beat you up
But I won’t push you around
Because if I do that the cops would grab me for doin’ it
I want to go and have some fun
Go where the action is
Who the hell are you to tell me who my friends are

Said I’ll never leave you, no I’ll never leave you
It’s not the end, no it’s not the end

Said I’ll never leave you, no I’ll never leave you
It’s not the end, no it’s not the end

You’re jealous again
You’re jealous again
You’re jealous again
And again and again
And again and again
And again and again

      
DEPRESSION
(Ginn/Black Flag)

Right here, all by myself
I ain’t got no one else
The situation is bleeding me
There’s no relief for a person like me

Depression’s got a hold of me
Depression-i gotta break free
Depression’s got a hold of me
Depression’s gonna kill me

I ain’t got no friends to call my own
I just sit here all alone
There’s no girls that want to touch me
I don’t need your goddamn sympathy

Depression’s got a hold of me
Depression-i gotta break free
Depression’s got a hold of me
Depression’s gonna kill me

Everybody just get away
I’m gonna boil over inside today
They say things are gonna get better
All I know is they fuckin’ better

Depression’s got a hold of me
Depression-i gotta break free
Depression’s got a hold of me
Depression’s gonna kill me

Depression’s got a hold of me
Depression-i gotta break free
Depression’s got a hold of me
Depression’s gonna kill me

SUCK MY LEFT ONE

Daddy comes into her room at night

She says to him

Mama says:
You have got to be polite girl
You have got to be polite
Show a little respect for your father
Wait until your father gets home
Fine fine fine fine fine fine fine fine

LONER
(barrows)
no friends no time i'm always getting blamed for crime
no more no guilt i'm living in a world that i've rebuilt

chorus: call me on the telephone
let's get together and be alone
'cause i'm a loner through and through
i guess that's why i don't need you

no need no way i used to be a runaway
no charm no shit i wanna be your opposite

no love no room i think of you and see my tomb
no brakes no net a blindfold and a cigarette

KNIVES
(martin)

every word i said was true
here's another song for you

words are tears words are knives
ugly mirrors of our lives
words release the pain inside
apologies for sharing mine

RATS
(barrows)

i'm a rat in a cage got nowhere to go
i sit and stare time goes slow

this damn rat race
it's killing me
in my last leg

i'm a rat in a treadmill i'll run real fast
around and around i can't catch my ass

this damn rat race
it's killing me
the end of my rope

i'm a rat in a trap i feel the pain
there's no escape from my domain

this damn rat race
it's killing me
at my wits end

this damn rat race
it's killing me
i'll climb the wall

SCREAMING
(martin)

i like to scream at work to pass the time away
when i'm driving home i'm screaming "get out of my way"
i really let one out when i answer the phone
everyone stopped calling and they leave me alone

chorus: screaming is cool i do it all the time
i'm a screamer and i feel fine

i scream and scare my girlfriend when she gives me a hug
then i scream at her chihuahua till it pisses on the rug
i've got a band to scream with, i guess i've got it made
i get to scream public and i even get paid

when the sun goes down i wander through the park
i like to hear girls scream when i touch them in the dark
i like to sing this song when i wanna let off steam
this song is pretty stupid but at least i get to scream

you'd do it too if you could scream like me
i like screaming cause screaming is free

MY CAR IS GONNA KILL ME
(barrows)

my car's a motherfucker a real work of art
and when i try to drive it it wants to fall apart

it never drives a straight line it lunges and it jerks
unsafe at any speed because the breaks don't work

my car is gonna kill me

i think it's out to get me it's got it in for me
i see it in my driveway i know my destiny

my car is gonna kill me it'll be the death of me

it's like a bomb on wheels white knuckles start to swell
seat belts won't matter now 'cause we're driving straight to hell

my car is gonna kill me it'll be the death of me my car is gonna kill me

TOURIST
(barrows)

gonna pack my suitcase cause i'm going far away
it's time for my vacation i'll be gone for 20 days

chorus: i'm a tourist and i feel the anguish
i'm a tourist and i can't speak the language

i'm gonna see the world i've been up all year
i'll throw away my money on stupid souvenirs
i'll send out fifty postcards to my friends so dear
i'll say i'm having fun and i wish you were here

there's one thing i just can't stand that's going
to a foreign land
everbody checks you cause they've got no
clue what your life is all about

i don't understand their money so they give me the shaft
i try to speak their language they just look at me and laugh (HA HA HA!)
they make me feel uneasy they smile when they offend
when they come to my country i'm gonna laugh at them

i'm a tourist and i feel the anguish
i'm a tourist and i can't speak the language
i'm a tourist i'm feeling so alone
i'm a tourist i wanna go home

BAD LOVE
(martin)

i love to make you scream i love to make you sweat
burn my initials in your ass with a cigarette
i'll kiss you and i'll slap you and say i told you so
bad bad love's the only kind of love that i know

you can kick and scream and bite
cause baby that's the kind of love i like

you can spit in my face and grab me by the hair
i'll throw you out into the street in your underwear
you call me a son of a bitch and i'll call you a whore
then i'll kick your big fat ass right out that trailer door

you tell me that you love me now i've got the proof
you're the only son of a bitch that's ever knocked out my front tooth
i'll kiss you and i'll slap you and say i told you so
bad bad love's the only kind of love that i know

RIOT BARBIE
(martin)

all your friends are at the rave while you listen to new wave
i remember when your hair was green you'd go out just to be seen
stand around and look real bored come around when drinks are poured
yes we love your new hairdo now drop the act cause i know you

chorus: you get guys to buy you beer then pretend that you are queer
you have to lie about the stains on your plaid skirt and mary janes
riot barbie you're so real you're so lifelike
riot barbie can i take you home tonight

you've got tattoos and razor cuts the other girls all hate your guts
your red bob looks fine to me i think it suits you to a tee
your skin is so pale and soft your lipstick never kisses off
i don't think you're really bad but i wouldn't wanna be your dad

you always seem to look so high you're kinda weird but so am i
you're the one i wanna kiss but you pretend i don't exist
when i see you sit alone if makes me wanna take you home
doesn't matter what i do i can't take my eyes off you

mascara fingers down your face
pointing out the tears they chase
and tell me you don't have a clue
i just wanna be with you

TARZAN #2
(martin/johnston)

tarzan swings and tarzan falls to face the mighty lion's jaws
his knife in hand he gives a call and meets the deadly lion's claws

chorus: it's too much like you and me
i don't wanna see what i wanna see

tarzan swings he's barely dressed he hits the ground and beats his chest
his knife in hand he does his best to save the damsel in distress

repeat chorus

tarzan goes home to his tree with jane and cheetah chimpanzee
every day he faces death and has to smell a monkey's breath

repeat chorus

REGRETS
(coss)

regret the girl i never slept with
regret the girl i ended up with
regret my unrealistic wishes
regret those really bad decisions

regret my useless education
regret that chance i should have taken
regret the things i should have done
and missing out on all the fun

chorus: i know there's things that i should do
i know there's different roads to choose
every chance i take every choice i make
i know i'm born to lose

regret my actions despite the cost
regret for all the time i've lost
regret i never made big bucks
regret that life it sometimes sucks

regret i might have caused some harm
regret the sound my alarm
regret the time i spent with her
regret it always reoccurs

THIS THING OF OURS
(barrows)

we are americans
we like to play with guns
we'll point them at you
as we drive our cars

we blow things up sometimes
we make a living doing our crimes
we like to have our spam
with caviar

we like to bite the hand that feeds

we've gone beyond reproach
we eat our own- not a new approach
they say that all is fair
in love and war

we've got a lot of nerve
we spend from our reserve
it seems it's always close
but no cigar

we know that smokes gets in your eyes

our sex is clinical
we're so damn cynical
we order partners
out of magazines

we know no bigger joys
than sitting in our laz-e-boys
from birth to death
and nothing in between
and nothing in between

LAUGHING  LAST
(coss)

i'm a sneaky low down man
if i can't get in i'll devise a plan
i'll pull a scam on anyone
i'm all grown up but i do it for fun

i've got money but i don't want to pay
just try to catch me i'll get away- you'll see

what you pay for i'll get for free
no need to steal when it's given to me
i fooled you once remember when?
let down your guard i'll do it again

it's so true with age comes wisdom
i love it when i beat the system- to death

the cost is free
i'm v.i.p.
i'll sneak right past
and i'm laughing last

i've got money but i don't want to pay
just try to catch me i'll get away
it's so true with age comes wisdom
i love it when i beat the system

YOUR GENERATION SUCKS
(martin)

you grew up on mtv
and virtual reality
your shaved head looks like my ass
something better change real fast

chorus: i can't wait till you grow up
your generation sucks
you make me want to throw up
your generation sucks

you're ripping off the 70's
got no originality
your silly ass pants don't fit
your music sounds like shit

you think polyester's cool
i wouldn't dress my dog like you
you've got a stupid friends hairstyle
your boyfriend looks like gomer pyle

 

LOWER YOURSELF
(barrows)
look around where do you fit? when everyone's a piece of shit.
you've got a choice now pick your side. all you've got to do is slide.

chorus: lower yourself be like everybody else why
should they like you if you're not like everybody else

if you wanna be like this they say that ignorance is bliss
it's the trend it's so damn cool to be a stupid little fool

repeat chorus

when you go and dive head first then you're totally immersed
it's so easy to conform and wear a loser's uniform

Be like them

BRENDA SONG
(martin)
you're poison with a bitter taste you're a gun pointed at my face
every gesture, every pose are as funny as a clown's nose
you're dirty game of chess wrapped in a tight, black velvet dress
you clutch me with you're velvet fist you grab me by the heart and twist

love hate perfect mate
angel of misery
love hate blind date
angel of misery

feed my sickness feed my pain love and hate both feel the same
kill the light so much to say it's never said, we never like it that way
i hate the tension, hate the the fear i feel so lost when you're not here
my angel of misery, my love for you is killing me
brenda's an angel brenda's a whore brenda's got it all
but brenda wants more

3 CHORD SONG
(martin)

gimme a song
a 3 chord song
in 4/4 time
so i don't get it wrong

i'm gonna scream
real loud
spit my beer
into the crowd

i can't sing
i can't play
it doesn't matter
anyway
just as long
as all you people pay

STUPID ME
(martin)
i wasn't lonely but you got my attention
you seemed to enjoy doing things that i won't mention
i know the earth is round i know that pigs don't fly
but i didn't know that everything you told me was a lie

stupid me i didn't see just how ugly you can be
when you no longer want to play you take your toys and walk away

i hope you liked my friends i heard you had a good time
enjoy new playthings they're no longer friends of mine
stupid stupid stupid me i could have dated
the girl with the big lips the one you really hated

stupid me.....

HOUSE OF CARDS
(barrows/stolz)
i get up in the morning and i wanna stay in bed
all those putrid memories are dancing in my head
it doesn't do much good this contempt that i feel
if my life was a game of cards i could call this deal

i've had all that i can stand
deal me deal me deal me another hand
it never ever mattered what game i play
it always seems to end this way

i like to play sometimes but the stakes are high
every time i ante up i feel like i might die
i never get ahead but i keep on playing
sometimes it drives me mad do you know what I'm saying?

my house is a house of cards
it won't take much to fall apart

MONSTERS
(barrows)

when i was young i used to believe in monsters
on my t.v., in magazines there's monsters
at night i used to dream about them
never did i ever doubt them
when i was young i used to believe in monsters

then one day i found out there's no monsters
they're just lies to my suprise no monsters
they're just made to help sell stories
of graveyards, crypts, and laboratories
damn the day i found out there's no monsters

absent for a while were the monsters
i always frowned until i found the monsters
i found that they're still here to grace us
but now they're wearing human faces
people are more hideous than monsters
damn the day i found out there are monsters
people are more hideous than monsters

SLEEPING SONG
(barrows)

i like to sing my sleeping song
i like to sing it all night long
it's just this little thing i do
it's too bad if it bothers you

if you get in too deep with me
then you won't want to sleep with me
my sleeping song my peccadillo
so dig your head into your pillow

i like to sing my sleeping song
sometimes i sing it all night long

i like to sing my sleeping song
i'll sing it loud i'll sing it strong
it'll make you sleep out on the couch
it'll make you a sleepless grouch

for so long now we've slept apart
your earplugs were just a start
i think that it's just jealousy
of my nightly symphony

SMOKING MONKEY
(johnston)
Instrumental

LET'S MAKE A DEAL
i don't work but that's ok
i'm gonna get everything my way
i get everything i need for free
i just trade in my family

i traded my wife for a brand new car
i traded my cousin for a good guitar
i traded my dad for a persian rug
i traded my mom for a bunch of drugs

i won't go thirsty anymore
i trade my sister at the liquor store
i'm so proud i don't have to steal
if you want my daughter we can make a deal

i traded my cousin for a pair of shoes
i traded my grandma for a bottle of booze
i traded my grandpa for some aftershave
i traded my aunt for an oriental slave

trading your family......

SCRATCH AND SNIFF
(barrows)

baby i want to take you home and get inside your pants
i'll give you a taste of my romance
i'll porve that my love is straight from the heart
but there's a little way that i like to start

chorus: scratch and sniff get a little whiff
scratch and sniff you make me stiff

i've been away from you for far too long
i'll bet your little girl aroma is strong
if you don't know just how you smell
there's a little way you can always tell

repeat chorus

sometimes girls are a tasty dish
did you know cavier comes from fish?
mares eat oates and does eat oates
but me i prefer the man in the boat

BABY MACHINE
(martin)
you're a burden on society
you're a baby machine
you've been spittin' out babies
since you were seventeen

your kids don't get enough to eat
they barely survive
but you've always gotten your
cigarettes and colt 45

baby machine can't control your sex
baby machine quit spreading your legs
baby machine always on the dole
baby machine no birth control

you found a place where you can trade
food stamps for cash
so you get a buzz
while your kids are eating trash

you live in public housing
and it smells just like a zoo
instead of cleaning up
you blame everybody else but you

I'M FOND OF YOU
(barrows/stolz/martin)

i like the way you do your hair
i think that you're so debonair
i like the way you roll your eyes
even closed the hypnotize

i like the way you like to walk
on my outline made of chalk
i like the way you smile at me
i understand the irony

i think i'm fond of you
i wanna bond with you
i think i'm fond of you
this is the real thing

i like the way you chew your food
sophistication you exude
i like the way that i'm your friend
even if it's just pretend

i like the way you wear me down
wear me 'til i'm upside down
i like the way you do your shoulder
it's so cold it makes me older

TOURIST
(barrows)

gonna pack my suitcase cause i'm going far away
it's time for my vacation i'll be gone for 20 days

chorus: i'm a tourist and i feel the anguish
i'm a tourist and i can't speak the language

i'm gonna see the world i've been up all year
i'll throw away my money on stupid souvenirs
i'll send out fifty postcards to my friends so dear
i'll say i'm having fun and i wish you were here

there's one thing i just can't stand that's going
to a foreign land
everbody checks you cause they've got no
clue what your life is all about

i don't understand their money so they give me the shaft
i try to speak their language they just look at me and laugh (HA HA HA!)
they make me feel uneasy they smile when they offend
when they come to my country i'm gonna laugh at them

i'm a tourist and i feel the anguish
i'm a tourist and i can't speak the language
i'm a tourist i'm feeling so alone
i'm a tourist i wanna go home

PERFECT FIT
(Yovino/Martin)
i love your pants they fit so well
i love to watch you dance
when we go out tomorrow night
i want you in those pants
love you, i love you
i love you in your pants
need you, i need you
i need you in your pants
want you, i want you i
want you in your pants
girl i love to watch you in your pants
i love to watch you walk around
i love to watch you sit
i don't wanna be without
you cause i love the way they fit
you wore those pants the night we met
i had to make a pass
you kissed me on my mouth
until you made me kiss your ass
DISPOSABLE GIRL
(Wegmann/Barrows)
i remember when you were happy
I remember when you sang songs
i remember when you tried to please me
I remember but my memory's gone
the night i first brought you home to my place
you were good then but now you're gone without a trace
is this still the modern world
i've got me a disposable girl
disposable girl
you were born to reproduce
you're gonna go with your summers eve douche
i remember when you were happy
i remember when you were sane
i remembered to throw you away
in the same bag as my bic butane
you were fun but now you suck
you're gonna wind up in the garbage truck
SPANK YOUR KIDS
(Martin)
they spend your money ask for more
they take the car come home at 4
stay out all night with friends and get high
you ask about it they tell you lies
spank your kids
whip their behinds
teach them a lesson
that'll stick in their minds
they skip school and waste their time
chances are they'll turn to crime
kids these days grow up too fast
take off your belt and whip their ass
bend over boy thank me some day
break the rules you'll have to pay
bend over girl daddy's right
you're gonna sleep on your stomach tonight
FAMILY TREE
(Barrows)
me and my sister had incest
then she said dad was the best
mom came home punched her in the face 
home sweet home i love this place
uncle ed is deaf as shit
he jerks off in a catchers mitt
he's got a boy friend his name's gus
i guess that's why he lives with us
i can't escape but i'll be free
by chopping down the family tree
it's a shame we're dirt poor
my little brother he's a whore
he's a kiddy porno star
he spends his money at the bar
fat aunt kay she's a bitch
she had her babies in a ditch
she always farts when she's asleep
you could say she's not too deep
i can't escape but i'll be free
by chopping down the family tree
I DO
(Mike Anderson)
i remember you
when you were my friend
i remember you
when you laid in my bed
who needs the crying
who needs the bitching
who needs the complaining
i do
i remember you when you were my friend
i remember you
when you gave 'me good head
SAT NIGHT'S ALRIGHT
(E. John/B. Taupin)
It's getting late have you seen my mates
Ma tell me when the boys get here
It's seven o'clock and I want to rock
Want to get a belly full of beer

My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
And my old lady she don't care
My sister looks cute completely nude
A handful of grease in her hair

Don't give us none of your aggravation
had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in

Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
`Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright alright alright

packed pretty tight in here tonight
I'm looking for a little tramp who can see me right
I may use a little muscle to get what I need
I may sink a little drink and shout out "She's with me!"

A couple of the sound that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
I'm a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass 

Don't give us none of your aggravation
had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in

Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
`Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright alright alright

Saturday, Saturday, Saturday 
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday 
Saturday night's Alright 

COTTON MATHER
 (Barrows)

we're going on a witch hunt 
we're gonna blame and burn
we'll set a firm example
so the rest will learn
we'll cast out those
who live in sin
it's a bad bad world
we need discipline
i wanna rule your life and soul
i want absolute control
i'm big brother i'm everywhere
hold you down and keep you there
we're gonna be the jury
we're gonna be the judge
we're the powers that be
and we won't budge
the cops and laws
the tools of my trade
get out of linewe'll dig your grave
I WISH
(Martin)
i wish i had 
einsteins brain
jaggers lips
schwartzeneggers chest
elvis presleys hips
a swiss account
a black rolls royce
a movie stars face
david bowies voice
i'd always have someone to phone
never ever spend my nights alone
there would always be someone for me
i wish i had
custom made suits
diamond rings
a private jet
and a great big thing
a friendly smile
a heart of gold
energy to burn
and i'd never grow old
PAPER GIRLS
(Barrows/Martin)
naked ladies in the books
giving me seductive looks
i can't stop my hungry stare
feast my eyes on girls so fair
i'll take four of them
maybe more of them
if i had seven i'd be in heaven
i know it's not the real world
but i love to look at paper girls
every month it's a new face
girls from almost every place
they'll take off their clothes and shoes
sit there naked just for you
i gotta buy the latest issue
cause i leer at girlies and wipe with tissue
naked girls on every page
can't escape their paper cage
camera clicked the moment froze
i love every single pose

YO YO MAN
(Martin)

i feel like a yo yo you
pull me in you push me away
i feel like a yo yo
you loved me last night won't talk to me today
you want to see me
don't want to see me
up and down
my heart goes up and down
make up my mind
OBSCENE PHONE CALL
(Barrows/Martin)
I use my phone as an instrument of fright
i'll call your house while you're asleep at night
when you get pissed off you'll take it off the book
i'll find another playfriend it's a big phone book
and it's just another obscene phone call
got your number off the wall
you call it sick i think it's fun
it's just my way of reaching out and touching someone
yeah, i'm a creep - anonymously
i'll call you every hour you won't get to sleep
i'll breathe real hard, i'll tell you to blow me
what really cracks me up is you don't even know me
and it's just another obscene phone call
got your number off the wall
you call it sick i think it's fun
it's just my way of reaching out and touching someone
i have contempt for people who have phones
you really make me sick i won't leave you alone
as soon as you hang up is when you call the cops
but i never do get caught my calling never stops
HOMEBOY
(Martin)
too much violence racial riots
beating robbing killing fights
white boy beaten to the ground
for being on your side of town
don't you call me homeboy, leroy
gangs are free to roam the streets
assault the people that they meet
i've been the victim of your aggression
don t tell me about your oppression
hate is preached and passed along
from door to door from father to son
every white man that they see
must become your enemy

 

MIAMI
(barrows)


if my name was ronnie zamora
the networks would love me
i pull the gun under my pillow
cause i saw it on t.v.

i my name was art mcduffy
would you smash my skull with glee
reaching over each other
bouncing flashlights off of me

in miami that's where you want to be tonight
keep your thoughts concealed cause it's an
urban battlefield

if my name was neville johnson jr.
and you thought i had a gun
you'd  better execute everyone in this town
cause i'm not the only one

in miami that's where you want to be tonight
just lack around cause a's an urban battleground

if my name or even was liberty city
or even overtown
the only way to walk my streets
is with your hand around a gun

in miami that's where you want to be tonight
keep your thoughts concealed cause it's
an urban battlefield
in miami that's whom you want to be tonight
just look around cause it's an urban battleground

I'VE GOT MY TIE ON
(barrows)

i'm a cog in a wheel in a lubricated world
and want to marry an office girl
i've  got my tie on
i've set my watch i've  set my goals
when i get old i wanna be fat
i've got my tie on

it's the string around my finger
it's the noose around my neck
i'll go to drastic lengths
to prove i'm not an idiot
i've got my tie so i'll be sure
to string myself up high

I can't forget why i got out of bed
when the morning paper's read
i've got my tie on
i'll glide across the tiled floor
i've got my name on the office door
i've got my tie on

i've got a penthouse with a view
i know I have a job to do
i've got my lie on
i've picked my side i've made my choice
i've gotta have a damn rolls royce
i've got my tie on

I'M SO POLITE
(barrows/hughes)


i let old ladies get in my way
when stray dogs come i let them stay
i'm always told to stand in line
and smile when i work overtime

i'm so polite
it's too obvious that i'm white

when you say nice you're talking about me
i'm so polite to that i do it for free
i'm not a burden on society
i'm just a victim of conformity

i'm so polite
it's too obvious that i'm white
and i always do what's right

i'm a good sport even when I lose
i know all about p's and q's
cause if you're crude you show your blindness
i just love to kill with kindness

i'm so polite
it's too obvious that i'm white
and i always do what's right

i'm well liked in my neighborhood
always do the things i should
for my mom
it's a bitch being good
and i wish that they would drop the bomb

i'm so polite
it's too obvious that i'm white
and i always do what's right
cause i've grown up on black and while

TEMPORARY FRIENDS
(barrows)

i once knew you a long time ago
we were friends then you told me so
but now i'm older i have regrets
that time with you and your friends was the best one yet
but you'll say…

i know it doesn't matter
it never ends
even though you're twice my size
temporary friends

call me long distance on the telephone
i might not be there i'm never alone
you were my lover you were my wet dream true
it was only temporary you knew it too
but you'll say…

i know it doesn't matter
it never ends
even though you're twice my size
temporary friends
 

AGE
(barrows)


seems like only yesterday
you were just a problem child
never thought you'd last this long
but you've been around awhile

i can't believe it's you just look what time has brought
you don't oven know that you have changed a lot
you talk of aging gracefully but thanks i'd rather not

no turning back just just straight ahead
pretty soon you'll be dead
condemned to age condemned to mold
everybody's getting old

you used to make a lot of noise
now why are you so quiet
you used to set the trend
now you need a special diet

if you look for your pride but you find that it's been sold
if alcoholic tendencies begin to leave you cold
it's just a way of blocking out the fact you're getting old

no turning back just just straight ahead
pretty soon you'll be dead
condemned to age condemned to mold
everybody's getting old

I'VE GOT A GUN
(barrows/martin)


i'm so dull and uninspired
my girlfriend left me and i just got fired
gonna go out and buy a gun
gonna blow the shit out of everyone

it gives a feeling that i've never known before
people screw around with me they don't know what's in store
that special feeling when my finger's on the trigger
somehow i just can't feel a whole lot bigger

got no money don't be annoyed
just buy a gun and be self employed
cashiers smile and open their drawers
you can take your pick out of any store

it gives a feeling that i've never known before
people screw around with me they don't know what's in store
that special feeling when my finger's on the trigger
somehow i just can't feel a whole lot bigger

MAN'S BEST FRIEND
(martin)


gypsies drink wine a and they all carry knives
they stay up all night and they beat on their wives
gypsies steal babies and get run out of town
and they play violins till the sun goes down

i'll take a beer in a bottle or can
i need a beer to feel like a man

bankers and lawyers love cigars and brandy
they drive big ol cars and get dressed up real dandy
they like making money from suckers and fools
and they sit on their butts in olympic size pools

i'll take a beer in a bottle or can
i need a beer to feel like a man

a bottle of beer is a real fine thing
it makes life worth living it makes you a king

debutantes love champagne and hors d'oeuves
they get so damn smug that they get on your nerves

they drink vintage wine that they first have sniff
then they fall on the floor and they get real stiff

SUBURBICIDE
(barrows/martin)


you're just another face on the block
living behind three locks
you've got a wife and three kids
now your life is on the skids

you've got a problem and it can't be denied
it's gonna kill you???
suburbicide
tired
broke
indebted
stroke

you went to get out but can't end this game
the mortgage burning party that never came
aren't you glad that you've been had

VICTIM'S RIGHTS
(martin)

it happens in america
this city is my home
but the scum the rule the streets
say you can't walk the streets alone

dealers pimps with welfare checks
our money in their hand
rob and rape and terrorize
got a stranglehold on our homeland

it happens in america
it's happening today
it's time to stand up for your rights
or they'll take them away

politicians sell us out
and then they rob us blind
tie the hands of justice
and make laws to hide behind

NOT FOR SALE
(martin)


when you see me out at night
you probably think i don't look right
cause i'm not a businessman
with a song in my head a guitar in my hand

not for sale no family plan
not for sale not a company man
not for sale i'm not lazy
not for sale do you think i'm crazy

it's been two years now you can't see
why you ever wanted me
i'm sorry i don't look like you
but i do the things that i have to do

not for sale no family plan
not for sale not a company man
not for sale i'm not lazy
not for sale do you think i'm crazy

BLACK CIRCLES
(martin)


i hear footsteps in the night
i stay awake till morning's light
i tell myself it's just the wind
in troubled sleep i find my sins

from my nightmares i arise
i've black circles underneath my eyes

my mind is being pulled apart
i fear the evil in my heart
sometimes i think i've lost control
i fear the evil in my soul

i hear footsteps in the night
i stay awake till morning's light
i tell myself it's just the wind
in troubled sleep i find my sins

BAD T.V.
(barrows)


you just bought a new t.v.
instead of making love to me
you'll sit them till you go blind
what happened to your little mind
oh no bad t.v.

your bible is your t.v. guide
because it helps you to decide
what shows to watch to improve your life
goddamn are you a stepford wife
oh no bad t.v.

you feel so safe sitting in your easy chair
basking in the glow of your radiation glare
you just sit and stare with your eyes glued to the set
you think that it'll make you smart it hasn't happened yet

now you've got a v.c.r.
reality seems quite bizzare
there's so much on your t.v. screen
you got kojack, news, and afro sheen
oh no bad t.v.

VELVET ELVIS
(barrows/martin)


i went to a rummage sale
on some old ladies lawn
i got there kind of late
almost everything she had was gone

i sifted through the rummage
who knows who luck would bring
and than i nearly died
right there on black velvet was the king

i saw that velvet elvis
and want it on my wall
it'd be my prized possession
my favorite one of all
people would come from miles around
probably get real jealous
i'd be the first one on my block
to have a velvet elvis

my pulse it started racing
sweat poured from my forehead
i must make up my mind
will i buy it or steal it instead

i checked my empty pockets
i knew what must be done
i won't leave empty handed
old ladies aren't too fast when they run

FUCK SEX
(barrows)


what do you my when you've had too much beer
what do you my when your girlfriend turns queer
what do you my when it just makes you sick
what do you my when you cum too wait

what do you say when you can't get erect
what do you say when she loses respect
what do you say when you can't stop shaking
what do you say when you know that she's faking

fuck sex fuck sex fuck sex in the ass

what do you say when it turns out a waste
what do you say when you don't like the taste
what do you say when you live on your knees
what do you say when you got a disease

fuck sex fuck sex fuck sex in the ass

don't put it in cause it's a sin
i might tell and you'll go straight to hell
if you don't repent you'll have to pay your children's rent

what do you my when you know it's not cheap
what do you my when she just falls asleep
what do you my when she's really a man
what do you my when you're using your hand

fuck sex fuck sex fuck sex in the ass

 

BIG BOUNCER, ANGRY BOUNCER 
(Spoken Word - Barrows)
 i desire to dance in public
nut you have forsaken me from the club
now i stand alone in the parking lot
ashamed and hurt
