1. A Toast
I wonder why they call this happy hour for surely no one's happy here
A flock of faces try to hide their pain and sorrow between the vodka, gin and beer
They're never leaving here.
For all the time that I have wasted on being wasted all the time
For every lie I've told and all the lies I've swallowed with just a pinch of salt and lime
Raise your glasses one more time
Here's to good friends
Tonight is kind of special
This drink I hold will soon be holding me
It always ends as it begins
The passing out and coming to
For all the things you do, here's to me, here's to you.
Here's to good friends
For every tarnished reputation
For every beauty queen turned whore
For every time I've seen my life flash right before my eyes out of my mouth and on the floor
And I still come back for more.
For all the dead left on the highway.
For every mother left alone.
For every fool who started out by trying just one sip and wound up drinking methadone.
At least you're not alone.
Here's to good friends
Tonight is nothing special
This drink I hold will soon be holding me
It always ends as it begins the passing out and coming to
For all the things you do
Here's to me
Here's to you
Here's to good friends.
2. Peace Minus One
Salute the men in blue who protect your life and mine
Night stick swinging closet sadomasochistic swine
Where were you on the day our childhood died
Were you polishing your guns?
Looks like you weren't the only ones
You say you come in peace
We say peace minus one
Peace minus one
We say make war, fuck love
A salute to the fallen youth who have died on the cross of our neglect
Programmed and desensitized to kill all the reject
And the news shows the clip a thousand times
And still has the balls to ask the question why
To serve and to protect
you say you come in peace
Destroy our self respect
we say peace minus one
To rape and to degrade
peace minus one
Run from the war you've made
We say make war fuck love
We say peace minus one
Fourteen year olds have guns
They say make war fuck love
3. Educated Hate
Johnny came home with a lunchbox full of lead
The note said sorry mom, but your son is dead
And his friends say he died for honor but there's another reason
We know instead Johnny died for the red bandanna wrapped around his head
Poverty was getting old, crack for cash and guns for gold
Kyle and Kevin didn't come home at all
The phone hit the floor when their mother got the call
And all the newsmen were having a field day
And all the cops were having a ball
Saying "gangsters kill each other, but these Goth kids kill 'em all!"
Gunfire lights up the night sky
A place where children never learn to cry
A worse fate called educated hate, HATE
reading, writing, arithmetic and drive-by practice
3 + 5 + 7 = 357
1 + 8 + 7 = 187
Bald heads raise arms of disgrace
They wear the sheets to hid their face protect the states
From educated hate
HATE
Reading, writing, arithmetic and drive-by practice
4. Shocking
Green, Yellow, Light turns red
There's a devil playing in my head
I didn't want to I didn't try
Now I'm haunted by their image as I watch them die
I replay the ending of life so sweet
Now they're seeing heaven in their sleep.
There's an angel in shadow blue coming clearer and it looks like you
There's a devil in hazy blue coming clearer
shocking?
I'm too hardened to turn back
my heart has gone black
I'll crush the American Dream
Empowered by their faces as I watch them scream
Turning the silence to pure aggression releasing the demons of depression
There's an angel in shadow blue coming clearer and it looks like you
There's a devil in hazy blue coming clearer
shocking?
5. Wicked Within
6. Satan
7. Gridlock
Rise Congregation, rise stand to your feet
Lads zieg hielaluya to your king
fall on your knees like flies
you can't succeed here
apart from everything and nothing that is high
high
Homeless veteran, dying of aids will work for food
subway needles all for free I'm in the mood
do you feel it too? do you feel high?
High
Jesus doesn't come through the cotton
Jesus doesn't come through my vein
Jesus doesn't come through my heart anymore
He says he never knew
my name do you feel the same
when you get
high?
8. Spent
Whatever happened to love? She's like a used up whore she doesn't work anymore she stopped feeling
I'm in her washing machine except I never get clean I am a permanent stain it's not working
Add one more fuck to the pile who cares? I don't besides, we both know it well it's not working
At least I'm not in denial I don't give a fuck you and every thing that you say it's not working
I'm damn well spent, your damn well spent, it's damn well spent
Whatever happened to drugs? It's just a game that I play to make the pain go away
I'm still hurting, no matter how much I tke it's never able to give one single reason to live it's not working
Add one more hit to the pile who cares? I don't besides, we both know it well it's not working
At least I'm not in denial I don't give a fuck you and all these games that you play it's not working
Whatever happened to God he's playing hide and seek the earth he gave to the meek
has stopped turning I am a piece of his clay the king that gets thrown away
when you learn how to burn you stop feeling
add one more God to the pile who cares? I don't besides, we both know it well it's not working
At least I'm not in denial I don't give a fuck
You and everything that you say it's not working
9. Fornicator
I was born in a world that was shaped by the blade of a two edged sword
I was draped in a cloth with the sign of the cross and the flame of the Lord
But every time I saw the theif on the tree it began to look a little more like me
I was told not to taste or touch anyone who was outside of the fold (they're unclean)
I was warned not to play I would burn if I played with fire of the flame that I hold
But every time I saw the filth on the street it began to look more beautiful to me
Every time I touched the unclean thing it felt more and more like I was touching me
That's why they call me Fornicator
You play with fire you will burn
The fire will burn all the fornicators
I was stripped of the cloak with the sign of the cross and the flame of the lord
Now I'm dressed all in black I was stabbed in the back by the two edged sword
And every time I see the filth on the streets it's a mirror image staring back at me
Every time I see the thief on the tree it's a mirror image staring back at me
That's why they call me Fornicator
You play with me you will see
The fire will burn all the fornicators
10. Rollercoaster
As time goes by, I find the things that used to thrill me will now leave me in a state of boredom life rolls on and I'll run to something new and will stay there till it's through making magic in me wait until the thrill is gone once more
then can we back the fuck up?
The old becomes new becomes old becomes new again
Somebody throw the switch and make this rollercoaster stop and back the fuck up!
As time goes by we move from east to west from worst to best we climb to new extremes while seeking temporary joy good to bad rich to poor love to hate peace to war like a rollercoaster doesn't it all leave you wanting more?
11. Slaves
Every wants to think serve some kind of purpolse in this world
and everyone wants to make someone cry and bring flowers at their funeral
but everyone's a slave to them self
Everybody thinks they get some special magic from all of these icons that we make of glass and stone
And everybody reaches to the sky to trick themselves into believing that we're not alone
But Jesus was born in a barn that's why he leaves the door open
I'd rather be a murderer than to be a murder victim
Everyone's a slave to them self, and everyone's afraid of them self.
And nobody has ever loved no one except maybe them self.
12. The Most Horrible Word Ever Spoken
Someone pulled the fire escape in Hell
Someone got knocked out in the last round and hit the bell
Someone thre a match into the sun someone gained
the world and lost his sould it could be anyone
I know the most horrible word ever spoken
It has left a bloody trail of hopes and dreams that are broken
A small toy boat against the tide with all it's might
keeps pushing forward but when the battle's done
it finds it has come now further than the shore
to reach the mountain top to climb above your fears
you spend your whole life reaching to find you never once were near
Almost is the most horrible word ever spoken
I don't believe in Almost.
13. Come
Come What are you looking at?
Your stare is shameless
Tonight's your lucky night
I'll make you famous!
