mama burned us up with her education
only their mucky mud could estinguish it
now all we see is how you perceive us
now all we feel is our moist negation
and if you put our minds to rest
i’m sure you’ll pour salt on our knowledge roots
weak knees knocking
down the murky bog
all those who pass
tell their own tales
and all through the night and all through the day
I miss you cold-- cold stealing eyes
and all through the night and all through the day
we sing “fuck armageddon, this is hell”

Innocence

Innocence... i’ll hold you in my arms and never let you go....
we met an arms length away--
but our fingers touched dancing to the same band
We got our faces in a mystery--
when tongues are made of ash who could even really care
we met an arms length away--
I’m not underneath you ‘cause you’ve seen more sun
piggy please leave me all alone
And you’re not the only one
we’ve suffered suffered suffered for it
waiting, you already out
and we’re not the only ones
we’ve waited waited waited for it
suffering, you’re already out
we’re well dressed and entertained
we are moderates feeding the jihad
we got our face in a mystery
the coind of rock n roll is being flipped again
we’re well dressed and entertained
I’m not underneath you ‘cause you’ve seen more sun
piggy please leave me all alone...

We Were Lovers
02:29
|

We were lovers
of the kingdom come
but we grew new things to hear new things
God is a scar in trenches we fight in
in trenches we fill up in trenches we love in
we are rebels without scars from very sharp knives
but when you’re not around we’ll still cut yr heels
we got bad news
we have no use for you
we all these words and all this boredom we speculate a contract with freedom
oh the time is high
when you fall to mucky mire
destroy your selfish interests
imagine
with all these words
and all this boredom
there are darker things
deep within our hearts

where are you when you’re not around
what do you do when you’re not in front
do you fret oh do you frown
I’m your face It’s falling off...
wasting away... finding out … you’re not seperating.. what’s real from the truth... time is obsolete... I’m your face falling off of an empty shell...
what the thought
oh is it reason
nothing thought
is in this season

Crustaceans Demise
02:48
|
|||
an island in the ocean made of our scum
some of you would say that is where we belong
a dirty joke would make you blush in the closet
while we’re in the den bustin’ plates for fun
fair is foul and foul is fair...
hover through the fog and the filthy air
everybody wants to go to heaven
but no one wants lie in their own death beds
it’s best to hold yr breath when you sleep at night
they’ll come for you and forget to lock the door
baby baby there’s a fortune here,
when the squalor gets close and you do do-y do
we’re not cute to touch/ crustaceans demise
we’re not dead to you / but you’re dead to me
It’sall the stuff you hear at very dull parties
wait for some news to hit some text books
Like junkies who hate their heroin
Like the pressure you could use to bite my finger off

After God
02:15
|
|||
yeah heaven is a place where you go
to do some stuff
over ‘til it’s never
the dirt is richer …. not far
over there
where the dogs are shitting!
My heart is
a dead beat
and so are you
control the anger control the lover

Farewell To Limbs
03:12
|
|||
women and men on a beach of a day
walk toward the horizon
glass cutting feet even ears to the grougn
couldn’t hear the sky deserving god
tourniquet necks and wrists cut the right way
will not stop the blinding light
the sobbing dogs
the crying bears
are making bids on our bad farewell
if it takes a nation
to spill some blood on you
would you really do it
without a serpant
or a verticle line
our blood
on your spit shined shoes

Half Mass

there’s not enought time in the day
to masturbate to be late
there’s not enough time in the day
to shoot the shit or kick the can
ther’s not enought time in the night
to go to sleep or eat or be
ther’s not enough time in the night
to worry about anything
you live and you work and you
wanna die and you die
you live and you work
and you wanna cry and you cry

Son Of A Sinner
02:49
|
|||
I wish I could get down with the gods
ther’s nothing real about them or the ones before him
buddha, krishna, jesus h. kristo
I’d put you on the guest list but I know you’d never show up
I don’t wanna be a witness
to your foundation myths aquinted with grief
I’ve been waiting but I’m always stood up
the only inkling of you is your pretty petty wake of hate
faith heads, shepards, similar agents
I won’t let you fleece me
and finally kill me
refute the gospel the son is just a token
burn the bronze age text books
that rape corrupt and murder

All Ages Nightmare
02:56
|
|||
a beatened pile of flesh
and the rain keeps pouring down
we developed nuisance of content
but forgot about our hearts
we can rhyme we can meter
we can write pop songs oh....
gotta knife gotta knife in my hands
to repeatedly stab the boxes we’ve made
forget the lives we once let
they mean nothing in this new plan
why why what for... if I see you ‘round here I’ll shove you face in the mud
we got soap boxes we all stand on
when they mean nothing, it’s still a void
all ages war in an all age nightmare
all ages fight on an all age stage

why you acting like you’re some dirty harry
making us feel like we’re some debbie downers
working us and singing us like john henry
we’ll forgive you once you lick our wounds
living in the past is so amusing
progress is halted for the faith of the serpant
shark bite on land
dogs are buried
I wouldn’t piss on you if your heart was on fire
what the world needs right now
is one where you’re not around
