Jezebel 02:58
LYRICS Jezebel, you're my ruin. Jezebel, my downfall. My future is now history because of what you’re doin'. Jezebel, You're my gal. Jezebel, You're my gallows. Jezebel, my femme fatale. You come from somewhere deep and dark, A creature from down below. Jezebel, you're my gal. Jezebel, my black ace. Jezebel, my last call. Your Johnny Hancock’s chiseled On my final resting place. Jezebel, you're my gal.

Unlove You 02:51
LYRICS It's been a long time since you broke my heart, But, It ain't been that long since I cried. And, it feels so good getting over you, Like Laz’rus when he un-died. So, I’d undo what I undid, turn the mountains into sand. Just to know how we went wrong, I’ll never understand. But... I’d Unlove you, Unlove you, Unlove you, yes I would. I’d Unlove you, Unlove you, Unlove you, if I could. I’d Unlove you, Unlove you, Unlove you, Unlove you, Unlove you, Unlove you, Unlove you, until eternity. So, not much changed, since I moved on I’m still here, just being me. But if I could just be someone else who didn’t know you intimately. Well, I’d undo what I undid, until all was right and sound. And I would try, not to fuck it up, till I was underground.

Barbicide 02:54
LYRICS As I was walking down the street I saw that sign in front of me I pushed the door, got in the chair Told that gal to cut my hair She spun me round and she said,
“Son, tell me how you want it done!” I said.... Oooooh Bar-bi-cide Some Rude Boy comes into my shop. I ran my blade down the strop. He said take some off the top and sides I reach into my Barbicide. And just like that, just like you said, I shaved the hair off his head!

Rubberneck 03:01
LYRICS Rubberneck You're just a rubberneck, You're looking over there while the action's over here. You’re a Rubberneck You're just a Rubberneck, You’re always celebrating victories you lost in yesteryear. Twistin’ and turnin’ your crooked neck, You got a look on your face, you don’t know what to expect. You’ve been there, you’ve done it, But you’re doin’ it again, The shit will hit the fan, but you just don’t know when. Your head nods like a dog in the back of a Camry. Why do you not know just where you stand? One day your mind will all go Ka-blamy And your soul will snap just like a rubber band! Same old grind, same old mill. Same diagnosis, same old pill. Progress getting colder as we are getting older. Faces on the T-shirt, Heavy on the shoulder.

I Get Mad 03:12
LYRICS I get mad when I feel sad Never any peace for me I get up when I get down Sleep, always a luxury. Never ever ever gonna find my way Never ever ever gonna stop. Never ever ever get a wink Till the day I drop I never thought that I would be here. (I don’t know.) I never thought that I would care. (I don’t care.) I never thought that I would feel fear. (I don’t feel.) It’s the cross I’ve got to bear. I never thought, the wages of sin would ever pay the bills. I never thought, the way I lived, I’d ever get my fill. I get mad when I feel sad Never any peace for me I get up when I get down Sleep, always a luxury. I get mad when I feel sad. Never ever, ever, ever get a wink. Till the day I drop.

The Scrub-up 03:19
LYRICS It was just a shower thought It was one that I just bought That gave me total pause Cause I just found my cause The secret to the skies Sits right before your eyes Printed micro size It’s only soap, yeah sure But a hundred per cent pure Like the message on the side Doctor Bronner really tried Brought commandments straight from god Eternal truth seems pretty odd I tell life’s secret here today Everything you need to know Is right there on your soap Dr Bronner gave it to you Just sit and read the side It’s sure to change your life It helps to magnify It’s waiting for you It’s simple as it’s wise Just don’t get it in your eyes It cleans your soul inside Out and inside His words are straight from god And life’s secret may seem odd But the universal truth is simple DILUTE! DILUTE! DILUTE! DILUTE! DILUTE! DILUTE! OK!

Bloodfall 04:42
LYRICS The lights went down at Mar-a-lago Inside a cake awaited Charro The sparklers lit. And they all clapped. The sequins brushed, the models swooned. The velvet crushed, the crooners crooned. It was a classy party, after-all. When the clouds parted wide They decided to stay outside The heavens opened an artery And slit its wrist to shower on thee And the rain came down And they kept laughing And the hail came down And they kept golfing And the frogs came down And they kept coughing Oh no. Oh no. And the blood came down And we kept dancing And the blood came down And we kept dancing Oh no, Oh no… Here we go. Things heated up at Casa Blanca. The next one on was Frank Sinatra. ‘Course Dean was lit. And they all Clapped. The palms were pressed. The elbows rubbed, A dwarf was tossed. And wives were drugged. It was political, after-all. They counted down on the big old clock A stage arose with the great Kid Rock. Clapton tuned. And whipped his slave. The noses browned. The circles jerked. Babies burned. Their mothers twerked. It was the last Christmas, after-all
8.
Enemies 03:29
LYRICS Enemies, And that ain’t how it’s got to be Yeah that ain’t good for you and me It’s the world that will set you free Enemies, I woke up and I could see It’s the people who hold the key To a world two plus one is three Don’t look too hard at yourself Or the people around you see Don’t look too hard at yourself Your lies will not set you free Enemies, Yeah you’re wrong when you think of me You’re wrong cause you just don’t see And you’re wrong yeah you’re wrong about me Enemies, And that ain’t how it’s got to be And that ain’t how it’s got to be Cause that ain’t good for you and me Enemies, And that ain’t how it’s got to be And that ain’t how it’s got to be And that ain’t how it’s got to be

LYRICS I ain’t gonna lead no revolution. Or seek some restitution. Cuz I ain’t got the constitution, for it. While I believe in evolution. Don’t wanna have no resolution. Why, I ain’t in collusion with shit. ‘Cuz I don’t want to think, think, think that thought. Y’see I’m not the kind of sort Who wants to get all caught Thinking about you. And I don’t want to think, think, think that thought It’s a battle not well fought, I ain’t gonna fight that fought Thinking about you. Everybody shows it (whoo-hoo) Everybody shows it (whoo-hoo) Everybody shows it (whoo-hoo) Everybody shows it (whoo-hoo) I’m not that strong of heart. I know I ain’t beyond delusion. But I failed at elocution. Corrupt by the pollution, of my mind. I don’t expect no good solution. Or some simple absolution. Live in social destitution, for life.
10.
LYRICS Do you recall when we first met? You called me “love”, you called me “pet”? Do you recall, the fun we had We never could do nothing bad? I don’t remember. I don’t remember. Do you recall, our wedding night You held me close, you held me tight? Do you recall, you said to me, “We’ll be together for eternity.” I don’t remember. I don’t remember. Do you recall, we had ten kids, Ten piles of laundry, all covered in skids? Do you recall all our money’s spent, Had us stacks of bills, not one red cent? Do you recall my brother, Paul, Three hundred pounds, and is the law? Do you recall he’s 8 foot 2? To rack your memory, he’s right behind you. (Chorus) I don’t remember. I don’t remember. All that, I recall, was once, I had it all. But said “one more” to the bartender. After that... I don’t remember.... I don’t remember.... I don’t remember.... (What an asshole!)
11.
LYRICS Why some things, here to stay? Why some, just for a day? Why some go on and on? Why some, all go wrong? Why don’t you hold, me Like you used to? Why don’t you kiss, me Like you used to? Why don’t you love, me Like you used to… Do! Do! Do! And it’s all been for nought If we don’t get caught Why some things, for the brave? Why some things, for the knave? Why some eternal flame? Why I get all the blame? And it’s all been for nought.

Always Again 03:50
LYRICS Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na The meek crawl out when all is still. They no longer hide
From under rocks in Charlottesville, Fine people on both sides.
They dread they’ll fade. Their screams unheard.
Completely gone. Without a word. Wiped-out from all of history.
No here, no there, no legacy. We will replace you. You will be replaced. We will replace you. You will be erased. Always again Always again Always again Always again 
Like plankton in a stream of trout There’s one thing that they fear. That one day they will all die out Their breed will disapear
Their lives, their thoughts,
Their humble ways.
Will all be gone. Just like their days. No trucks, no beer, no TNT.
All erased from memory. We will replace you. You will be replaced. We will replace you. You will be erased. Always again Always again Always again Always again 
They try their best to stay alive. Like moths to tiki light. Perhaps the fit will not survive. What if Darwin wasn’t right? Like some pre cro magnon man. Without a thumb upon his hand. No grasp of his mortality. No future for him to see. We will replace you. You will be replaced. We will replace you. You will be erased. Always again (With your goose-stepping!) Always again (With your salutes!) Always again (On the road to Poland!) Always again (You’ll draw and shoot!) Always again (Nowhere to hide!) Always again (You’ll rise again!) Always again (Cancer comes back!) Always again (The strong survive!)

LYRICS Well I guess you want some kind of fucking lyrics And I guess you want some kind of fucking song Well I ain’t got the words, to mollify you turds So there isn’t gonna be no fucking song! (Hard stop) (the F-word) You! Well I guess you want some kind of fucking rhythm And I guess you want some kind of fucking bass Well this is not the place, so stick it in your face Cause there isn’t gonna be no fucking song! (Hard stop) (the F-word) You! Well I guess you think you got some fucking music Well I hope you think the solos were too long Cause we don’t really care, if you think that it’s not fair Cause this was not some kind of fucking song! (Hard stop) (the F-word) You!
