SKID ROW LYRICS

1. Disease

Have you looked at yourself lately
You see the lines of time?
Walking dead amongst the living
Chaos by design
I’ve seen you fall this far before
I’ve seen you disappear
You’ve thrown it all into the fire
Ashes in your tears

I felt your disease and now I think
I’ve had enough. I’ve had enough
I felt your disease and now I think
I’ve had enough. I’ve had enough

You’ve fallen on your sword again
So not to face the truth
Then ran head-on into what’s real
And collided into you
I’ve heard you lying to yourself
I’ve watched you fade away
Your best laid plans are still born shadows
Promise in decay

I felt your disease and now I think
I’ve had enough. I’ve had enough
I felt your disease and now I think
I’ve had enough. I’ve had enough

I felt your disease and now I think
I’ve had enough. I’ve had enough

I felt your disease and now I think
I’ve had enough. I’ve had enough
I felt your disease and now I think
I’ve had enough. I’ve had enough

2. Another Dick In The System

I’m not the devil
But I can show my horns
All the things I did to you
Could have been in a porn
Then I heard the rumors
Now I know they’re true
Some strange motherfucker
Is gonna do ‘em to you

I said I loved you but you didn’t listen
I know there’s another dick in the system
I said I loved you but you didn’t listen
I know there’s another dick in the system

I’ve lived with angels
I’ve laid with whores
I gave you nothing but honesty
Then I licked your sores
I’m not the one to crucify
With blood, iron and wood
You’re not the saviour to me anymore
You’re damaged goods… Yeah

I said I loved you but you didn’t listen
I know there’s another dick in the system
I said I loved you but you didn’t listen
I know there’s another dick in the system

I said I loved you but you didn’t listen
I know there’s another dick in the system
I said I loved you but you didn’t listen
I know there’s another dick in the system
Hey Hey
Hey Hey
Hey Hey Hey
Hey Hey Hey

3. Pulling My Heart Out From Under Me

I laid my soul in front of you
I tied myself to the railroad tracks
You refused my point of view
Then diluted all my facts

You won it, you broke it
You held it to choke it
You’re pulling my heart
Out from under
You won it, you broke it
You held it to choke it
You’re pulling my heart
Out from under me

I gave you all I had inside
And every chance to tell the truth
My faith in you has been denied
But forced a smile in spite of you

You won it, you broke it
You held it to choke it
You’re pulling my heart
Out from under
You won it, you broke it
You held it to choke it
You’re pulling my heart
Out from under me
Me. Me. Yeah out from under
Me. Me. Me. Yeah out from under

You won it, you broke it
You held it to choke it
You’re pulling my heart
Out from under
You won it, you broke it
You held it to choke it
You’re pulling my heart
Out from under
You won it, you broke it
You held it to choke it
You’re pulling my heart
Out from under me

4. When God Can't Wait

The kids are united, that’s what we say
Sometimes you’ve got to shovel shit
To make a little pay
When we hear the whistle we break the gate
To lead ‘em to freedom when God can’t wait

God can’t wait for sinners to come home
God can’t wait for saints to stand alone
Fight the fight that fighters like to fight
Bleed to blood
That gets you through the night

We rebuilt the mission but broke the bell
The only way to heaven
Is straight through living hell
Someone phone a taxi to take us home
To our brothers and sisters and we’ll live on

God can’t wait for sinners to come home
God can’t wait for saints to stand alone
Fight the fight that fighters like to fight
Bleed to blood
That gets you through the night

They think by shooting bullets
It’ll make us dance
Tell the fucking enemy
They stand no fucking chance
When we hear the whistle we break the gate
To lead ‘em to freedom when God can’t wait
Lead ‘em to freedom when God can’t wait
Lead ‘em to freedom when God can’t wait
Lead ‘em to freedom, we’ll lead ‘em to freedom
Lead ‘em to freedom, we’ll lead ‘em to freedom
Lead ‘em to freedom, we’ll lead ‘em to freedom

5. Shut Up Baby, I Love You

I say “it’s your love that keeps me alive”
But you drag me through the mud like a four wheel drive
I’ve give you the moon, I’ll give you my last beer
I’d rather move too fast than be stuck in gear

Maybe there’s something that I don’t see
Are you in 3D?
Are you the devil’s seed or the devil in me

What you gonna do? I told you I’d be true
You scream at me until you’re blue
Now shut up baby, I love you
Shut up baby, I love you
Now shut up baby, I love you

It’s been so long since I knew what’s real
Now my foot’s on the floor and I’m spinning my wheels
They say you left town with another man
Now I’m off to Mississippi with a gun in my hand

Maybe there’s something that I don’t see
Are you in 3D?
Are you the devil’s seed or the devil in me

What you gonna do? I told you I’d be true
You scream at me until you’re blue
Now shut up baby, I love you
Shut up baby, I love you
Now shut up baby, I love you

Are you the devil’s seed or the devil in me

What you gonna do? I told you I’d be true
You scream at me until you’re blue
Now shut up baby, I love you
What you gonna do? I told you I’d be true
You scream at me until you’re blue
Now shut up baby, I love you
Shut up baby, I love you
Shut up baby, I love you
Shut up baby, I love you

6. Strength

[The Alarm cover]

Give me love
Give me hope
Give me strength
Give me someone to live for

Who will light the fire
That I need to survive
Who will be the life blood
Coursing through my veins

Like a river flowing
That will never change
I need someone
I can depend on

'Cause I'm a man of emotions
Who can't hide the tears
I'm a man of feeling
Who can't hide the pain

I'm alone on the outskirts of town
Where no one knows my name
I'm at the point in my life
Where I need affection

Won't you
Give me love (Give me love)
Give me hope (Give me hope)
Give me strength
Give me someone to live for

Give me love (Give me love)
Give me hope (Give me hope)
Give me strength
Give me someone to live for

I need it now
I need it now

Someone write me a letter
I need to know that I'm still alive
Someone give me a telephone call
I need to hear a human sound
Someone open up a door
And let me out of this place
I've been caged up for oh so long
I don't know if I'm living or dying

Someone better
Give me love (Give me love)
Give me hope (Give me hope)
Give me strength
Give me someone to live for

Give me love (Give me love)
Give me hope (Give me hope)
Give me strength
Give me someone to live for

I walk alone across the outskirts of town
I can't control what I'm going through now
Will you light the fire that I need to survive
Will you donate the life blood
coursing through my veins
Will you open up the door & let me out of this place

I've been caged up for oh so long
I don't know if I'm living or dying

Won't you
Give me love (Give me love)
Give me hope (Give me hope)
Give me strength
Give me someone to live for

Give me love (Give me love)
Give me hope (Give me hope)
Give me strength
Give me someone
Someone to live for

7. White Trash

Mama, I wanna grow up to be a drunk
Sit around, watch TV and pick my feet
I wanna be pissed off and jealous of any
Who’s successful and complain that I can’t keep a job!
I’m not human, not human, I’m special
I’m not human, not human, so special

I wanna be white trash
Sit around on my fat ass
So many hours in the day
To piss my life away
I wanna be white trash
Sit around on my fat ass
So many hours in the day
To piss my life away

My sister, she’s got 3 babies
But she don’t remember who their daddy is
She was on Girls Gone Wild showin’ her stuff
Now she’s a porn star, we’re so proud of her
She’s not human, not human, she’s special
She’s not human, not human, so special

I wanna be white trash
Sit around on my fat ass
So many hours in the day
To piss my life away
I wanna be white trash
Sit around on my fat ass
So many hours in the day
To piss my life away

I wanna be white trash
Sit around on my fat ass
So many hours in the day
To piss my life away
I wanna be white trash
Sit around on my fat ass
So many hours in the day
To piss my life away

What that, you’re looking for a donation?
Save the whales, feed the children?
Feed the children to the whales
I’m savin’ up for a big screen TV!

8. You Lie

You lie to me a first time
You’ll lie to me again
You pushed me out the front door
While some stranger’s walking in
The way you say you love me is as ugly as sin
You lie, you lie, you lie

I waited up ‘til morning just wondering what you’d say
You stumbled on your story ‘cause the truth got in the way
You choked on your confession, but thought you had it saved
While someone else was jumpin’ in my grave

You lie to me a first time
You’ll lie to me again
You pushed me out the front door
While some stranger’s walking in
The way you say you love me is as ugly as sin
You lie, you lie, you lie

I’m counting on the future, forgetting ‘bout the past
Just knowing you’re not honest, well I knew it wouldn’t last
I’m trying to believe you but it’s such a fucking chore
You lyin’, cheatin’ dirty little whore

You lie to me a first time
You’ll lie to me again
You pushed me out the front door
While some stranger’s walking in
The way you say you love me is as ugly as sin
You lie, you lie, you lie
You lie, you lie, you lie

You lie to me a first time
You’ll lie to me again
You pushed me out the front door
While some stranger’s walking in
The way you say you love me is as ugly as sin
You lie, you lie, you lie
You lie, you lie, you lie

You lie to me a first time
You’ll lie to me again
You pushed me out the front door
While some stranger’s walking in
The way you say you love me is as ugly as sin
You lie, you lie, you lie
You lie, you lie, you lie
You lyin’ motherfucker

9. Nothing

Houses on the hill
Looking down on all the little people’s lives
And wondering it I’ve been missing out
Growing up is hard, isn’t that what Bowie sang
When he was young
Before he knew what growing up was like

Guess I’ll never know, so I’ll take it day by day
As it comes until there’s something else to think about

If I want it all then I’ll get it all
Do I need it all? I need nothing
If I want it all then I’ll get it all
Do I need it all? I need nothing but you

Changing with the times
Looking back on all our oldest memories to realize
We haven’t changed at all
Records in my room
It’s still the place where we can go to get away
from real life and real agony

If we should disappear, we can take it day by day
As it comes until there’s something else to talk about

If I want it all then I’ll get it all
Do I need it all? I need nothing
If I want it all then I’ll get it all
Do I need it all? I need nothing but you

If I want it all then I’ll get it all
Do I need it all? I need nothing
If I want it all then I’ll get it all
Do I need it all? I need nothing
If I want it all then I’ll get it all
Do I need it all? I need nothing
If I want it all then I’ll get it all
Do I need it all? I need nothing but you

10. Love Is Dead

I’ve fallen for and fought the wars with you
And held my breath until I’m gray
I choke myself until my skin turn blue
On words I never got to say

Feed me, bleed me
I don’t care

I can’t keep what I don’t want
A ghost needs a house to haunt
Black holes inside your head
Burns quick the turns to red
Close the lid, drive the nails
Bury me, ‘cause love is dead

No soul to sell, I’ve been through hell with you
Then left our love outside to freeze
We’d die in bed then you threw dirt on me
And burn me out like a disease

Thrill me, kill me
I don’t care

I can’t keep what I don’t want
A ghost needs a house to haunt
Black holes inside your head
Burns quick the turns to red
Close the lid, drive the nails
Bury me, ‘cause love is dead

I choke myself until my skin turn blue
On words I never got to say

Thrill me, kill me
I don’t care

I can’t keep what I don’t want
A ghost needs a house to haunt
Black holes inside your head
Burns quick the turns to red
I can’t keep what I don’t want
A ghost needs a house to haunt
Black holes inside your head
Burns quick the turns to red
Close the lid, drive the nails
Bury me, ‘cause love is dead

11. Let It Ride

You never call to see me
Only when you want my love or something
I start to feel outnumbered
By you; my fear and the one you’re thinking of

When I dream that I’m in hell
The devil bares your name
And every time I wake up
You’re stuck inside my brain

Let it ride, let it go
Let it bleed, let it show
If you lie, let me know
Let it ride
Let it ride, let it go
Let it bleed, let it show
If you lie, let me know
Let it ride or let it go
Go

Stepping out a window
On the edge of Son of Sam or the Boogeyman
And your atomic future may kill us
But is never gonna change the man I am

When I dream that I’m in hell
The devil calls your name
And every time I wake up
You’re stuck inside my brain

Let it ride, let it go
Let it bleed, let it show
If you lie, let me know
Let it ride
Let it ride, let it go
Let it bleed, let it show
If you lie, let me know
Let it ride

It couldn’t grow any darker
You made it burn forever more
You like to hate me with love in your eyes
There’s nothing gong on that I don’t realize

Let it ride, let it go
Let it bleed, let it show
If you lie, let me know
Let it ride
Let it ride, let it go
Let it bleed, let it show
If you lie, let me know
Let it ride

Let it ride, let it go
Let it bleed, let it show
If you lie, let me know
Let it ride
Let it ride, let it go
Let it bleed, let it show
If you lie, let me know
Let it ride

Let it ride, let it go
Let it bleed, let it show
If you lie, let me know
Let it ride
Let it ride, let it go
Let it bleed, let it show
If you lie, let me know
Let it ride
