1. Velvet Kevorkian
Hey! Ah!
Can you believe this shit people?
Oh! Ah-oh!
All I need is this city and this mind, and I will get by
Fuck sleep, fuck all of you
Yes... yes! (for me, for me, for me, for me)
But we can never look back because we'll never get a second chance
I like people who can take the pressure!
Are you listening? Are you? Fuck you!
A new time has come, ladies and gentlemen... boys and girls...
Welcome the fuck home!
2. All Hail The New Flesh
Are you ready?
Ah!
Fuck yourselves!
Hey man, I'm gonna fuck this shit up
No fear, no compromise, I want it all
I will never be afraid
I'll die for what I believe
All of you assholes can stay rotting here
I do not care, I will not be there
I have got to save myself
Don't tell me there's no one else
And all you are is all you are
I'm so sorry for you, sorry
So all hail the new flesh
'Cause it suits me fine
Just get away, you motherfuck
And we'll be back if you come
For what this means to me, you piece of shit
I'll see you pigs in hell
I want it all
I want it all, motherfucker
All you are is all you are
I'm so sorry (for you), sorry
All hail the new flesh
'Cause it suits me fine
Here it comes… again
3. Oh My Fucking God
[Spoken:]
Well, gentlemen, a great deal of money has been invested in this project and we can't allow it to fail
There are no difficult tasks, each action must simply be adapted to the challenge.
Demon
Dream of god
There is no insanity, rather a super sanity
More suited for life at the end of the 20th century
Where everything is art,
And everything is trying to express it,
Where everything is art,
And everything is trying to communicate it...
All intelligent beings sleep the dreaming of dreams
And they've all come up to meet me tonight
Although while in the morning, all their wonder and their
Glory was turned ugly and quite simple
Like a venue when you're loading in gear
This night
Is when it all changes
Sexuality, eroticism in asexual persuasions.
Man or woman, makes no difference in the outcome
No fashion, no tolerance for stupidity or ignorance
..."Adidas" or "The Arch Deluxe"...
And time is now an object
Oh, my fucking god...
Oh, I'm fucking god...
Oh, my fucking god...
Oh, I'm fucking god...
4. Detox
Play that stupid piece of shit!
Oah!
Aah!
Hey! Devo!
I've got a feeling
With the wrong people
And I can't control my thoughts
I wish that I could sleep
And just get this over with
This is only high school bullshit
I was warned
Absolutely numb
No good around people
Everyone knows and watches me
How did I get here tonight?
What am I doing here?
How did I reach this state?
How did I lose my sight?
I'm lost
I'm freaking
And everybody knows
Everyone's watching
So here's all my hopes and aspirations
Nothing but puke
God, I'm so lonely...
(The human brain
An unbelievable complex of nerve cells
That turns sound vibrations into pleasure
Meanwhile the passage of blood
One step at a time
Will continue to be?
Even after it has been removed from the body)
I feel so alone, alone
(Thought I'd try…
Thought I'd feel…)
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Why do I gotta be such a stupid bastard?
Are you dump bugger?
I just want to feel
I was warned
Absolutely numb
No good around people
Everyone knows and watches me
5. Home Nucleonics
[Spoken:]
The beat starts here
Hey, you failed like god in me
Feasting like dogs,
You fuck, get out of my way
I warned you...
Hey, the fools shall not be entertained
Feasting like gods
You fuck, get out of my way
I warned you...
Fuck you ... stupid human beings...
Technology will be the second coming
And it will hit us while we're looking for a plan
I warned you...
T e c h n o l o g y
Hating, burning, waiting, falling
Fucking twisted human cancer
Fuck your bullshit America
Hey, you failed, like god in me
Feasting like dogs,
You fucks are in my way
I warned you...
6. AAA
Devy in the corner of his teen year
Born to run away
Children in the middle with the village idiot
So he never made the potty grade
Now maybe he pulled a little closer
Cold in a mousy way
Boom boom as they came a little closer
Put a bolt in the curse today
Now Devy has to eat it in his own way
Broke in a dirty way
Boom boom is the beating that I hear in the night
But no one hears, so no one knows and …
No one! No one! No one!
No one fucks with me!
Devy wants a word with the master
No need to run away
Down on the road isn't easy,
But I never would back away...
Boom boom in the morning with the night sounds
No way to run away
Boom boom as the boredom of monogamy
Hits one more time...
No one must know...
No one must know...
No one must know...
No one must know this machine...
Devy got a taste of some black shit
Born in another way
And it probably would have been easy,
But it never worked out that way
Boom boom in the corner with the well - soiled
Bound to amalgamate
Boom boom as it kills the inhibitions
...no more games
No one must know...
No one must know...
No one must know...
No one must know this...
No one! No one! No one!
No one fucks with me!
Me!
With me!
With me!
AAA
No one! No one! No fucking one!
No one fucks with me!
Me!
With me!
With me!
It's time, it’s time, it’s time, it’s time
Give it all.
All I want to do is fuck, is fuck, is fuck, is fuck, is fuck.
7. Underneath The Waves
[Spoken:]
A geological event of cataclysmic dimensions
On and on, it's on and on
On and on, it’s on and on
No one knows why, no one knows why
A new time, new ways
New thought, new age
On and on, it's on and on
On and on, it’s on and on
Say goodbye! say goodbye! say goodbye! say goodbye!
No one knows why, no one on and on
A new time, new ways, new thought, new age
Tired of waiting
Tired of fighting
Tired of waiting for fucking nothing
Sick of lying
Sick of trying
Tired of waiting for fucking nothing
Tired of hating, bored of dying
Tired of waking from the dreams of morning
Sick of trying, sick of whining
Tired of waking from the dreams of morning
Tired of waiting
Tired of fighting
Tired of waiting for fucking nothing
Sick of lying
Sick of trying
Tired of waiting for fucking nothing
...underneath the waves...
They're underneath the waves...
They’re underneath the fucking waves...
They're underneath the waves...
8. Room 429
What you don't understand
Is where everything's leading
When all of the signs you see still point to overload
As you reach out your hand
A shattered picture's receding
Like tail-lights along that lonesome stretch of broken road
‘Cause you've been to the past
And it's just a reminder
A recollection of faces that will never come to call
When you've cut through the mask
When you've been through the grinder
Sometimes you forget that you had ever been there at all
Up here in Room 429
Yeah, the world ain't so unkind
I wanna take you to that empty room tonight
In the shadow of doubt
In the crush of an instant
Standing in the rain outside your door, hand on my knife
When you reach a brick wall
There is still a decision
Always though if I had to lose I'd surely take you all
Up here in Room 429
In a world that's so unkind
I wanna take you to that empty room tonight
We'll tell the world outside the door
That we ain't never coming back no more
We're gonna stay in here 'til we turn out the night
Until we turn out the night…
The city breathes so softly
Everything is sleeping
I am at the window silently watching
I can see you standing
Alone against the winter
I can hear you asking, but the streets, they are not giving
Don't look to the ocean
Restless in its dreaming
Don't look to the heavens for they will tell you nothing
If living is for learning
Then dying is forgetting
Once we have forgotten then we can go on loving
In a lifetime of hope
In a second of kindness
There is never a doubt that we are born and die alone
From within or without
There's no way they can find us
When they knock at the door, the lights are on, but we ain't home
Up here in Room 429
Yeah, the world ain't so unkind
I wanna take you to that empty room tonight
We'll tell the world outside the door
That we ain't never coming back no more
We're gonna stay in here 'til we turn out the night
Until we turn out the night…
Until we turn out the night…
Until we turn out the night…
Until we turn out the night…
9. Spirituality
I'm right here where you left me experimenting
Bored out of my fucking mind...
Please, give me a sign, please, show me a sign
Please, show me that you're alive
There's got to be
Another way
Another place for me
Please, help me, please...
You'll never be what you try to be if you want to be it
God help the king of nothing
It's getting late
I'm getting old
And every night I just sleep,
We never talk
And every night,
I look to the sky
And I pray to god they'll hear me.
And if that's all there is
...if this is it
Won't... won't someone tell me
'Cause I'm so fucking sick of all you
Sick stupid people
Come on. I found a way out of here, Karen.
Strapping Young Lad rocks my hairy anus
10. Centipede
[Japanese version bonus]
So what man?
So what?
It leaves me too low...
And it pushes me out
It leaves me behind
...all of my life
...all of my days
Your woman...
So what?
She leaves me in doubt
And pushes me down
It leaves me behind
...all of my life
...all of my days
All that I'm going through
Your legs when these would do
...know when it's over
This "no one" left no one behind
