You create love Initiate love Just to kill it For the thrill it Gives you power You’re a flower You’re a great love But you hate love You won’t always be Young and pretty Expiration date love You should Be kind to me now But you don’t know how love You don’t You don’t want to learn You just want to burn love
2.
I’m gonna drink and drive---every time You leave the children in the car I’m gonna cheat and lie—I’ll deny That I was ever at the bar I’m gonna let you down---Every time Cause I’m a thoughtless selfish boy You speak without a sound---Every time I listen Cause I’m a thoughtless selfish boy You tell me what to do I’ll do it You tell me what to do I’ll screw it up You tell me what to do I’ll do it You tell me what to do I’ll screw it up I’ll be drunk and loud—every time You need me sober, straight and shy I’m gonna draw a crowd—every time You want alone time with your guy I’m going to make up lies----In my head. From paranoia, control and dread Imaginary crimes---That you did I’m a controlling stupid shit I’m gonna yell and scream in my head Cause I’m a frightened worthless child I’m gonna make a scene I’ll regret tomorrow Cause I’m a self destructive guy

I love you more than god does I love you more cause if I was god I'd end the world's suffering Immediately The fact that he don't proves that I love you more than your Jesus Christ does I love you more than god does I love you more cause if I was god I'd Bring us a Paradise On Earth tonight I'd demand of you No negotiating or this "Let's Make A Deal”—shit 
They’ll be no more torture No more pain No more rape No one gets maimed No more cruelty No disease No more senseless Atrocities I love you more than god does I love you more cause if I was god I'd never let children die Get beat or cry Raped by the priest that was Trusted to love and protect them But did not What if Superman stood by and did nothing While a child was being raped? That’s what your god does every day. You wouldn’t think of him as super anymore You’d ask him to return his cape The fact is clear..There’s no escaping That…. I love you more than god does I love you more cause if I was god I'd end the world's suffering Tonight and bring Paradise to every man, woman child And creature on earth

Boredom birthed the bad Satan was our dad Nothing was the mom Another stupid song Nothing was the source Creation made it worse God got really bored Made the world absurd Now we have to pay Now we have to play A game we just can’t win But we can love our sin We can do it all Without Satan or Baal Without God or a date We can create from hate We can restore it all It can be wonderful But some will have to pay We cannot get away
5.
I'm not of your world You're not real to me I live my own life Infantasy I'm not of your world I Don't need to obey I do what I want Despite what you say I steal bottled water I drive down your roads But I don't pay taxes I trash your commodes I won't pay for tickets I do as I please I don't teach my children To get down on their knees Cause you don’t exist I’m not of your laws I’m Not your possession Yours isn’t my cause But I’ll reap your riches The run off from yours But I’ll never give in Or contribute chores

Life’s a bore - At fifty four Don’t want to play - The game no more Got more time - Oh that’s for sure But I don’t know – What time is for No one wants - A fat bald me To sing another song - Of self pity Mankind’s forever - Lost it’s way Brother ‘gainst brother - Gay against gay I don’t care - If you can score Nothing gets - Me high no more Pain on earth - Will never end All I can do - Is love my friends Me- I didn’t - Create this world Now I’ve come - To hate this world Feel like shit - Then write a song Still don’t know - Where I belong Suffering on earth - Will never end All I can do - Is love my friends Pain on earth will never end All you can do is love your friends

You are ----Hurting me Desire turns to Death So far-------From Me I can ----Smell your breath And it smells like Daffodils----In a Garden On the shores----Of Heaven I sit-----I feel The cut-----Of the knife I sit -------I watch The Day-----Turn To Night And the nighttime Brings hope and disappointment To the shores Of Heaven Why is the wind so mad today? I’ll try and sing my pain away but it comes back again I drive-----You away With every false move The more------I stay The more you remove Your desire---Once palpable Is absent----From the shores Of Heaven

I'm right where god Wants me to be Neither the princess Nor the pea No great gulf Stands between me Stands between me And my destiny I accept the blessing I accept the curse Somebody out there's Always got it worse If you don't count up Then you'll soon be down It takes some work To be a happy clown I'm right where god Wants me to be Whether I'm blind Or whether I can see I accept my place In his destiny Be it glory Or be it catastrophe How can I accept Accept it all? All of the wonder All the horrible I have no choice No choice I'm not god What should I do instead Bow down to Zod?

We all need a lie to live by We all need some lies to sleep at night God in his heaven Smiles down at me Loves me and Curses my enemies We all need a lie to live by We all need some lies to sleep at night My life has meaning I’m sensible My home is safe And defensible I hide behind lies I need to disguise My life is unbearable Otherwise We all need a lie to live by We all need some lies to sleep at night George sold a lie ‘bout that cherry tree Fills me with tons of anxiety The government killed John F Kennedy The towers came down at free falling speed Better to lie The truth’s on their side And all that I have to do is just be me

Goodbye mom – Goodbye dad Goodbye happy – Goodbye sad Goodbye love – Goodbye hate Goodbye bad – Goodbye great Goodbye love – Goodbye lies Goodbye life – Everything dies Everything dies Love of my life – fades away She didn’t care anyway Song of my soul – fades away I’m getting old – everyday Goodbye truth – Goodbye lies Goodbye life – Everything dies Everything dies All my passions – fade away Gone frustrations of the day Nothing left but quiet time Nothing left – an empty mind Dreams of youth – life or death All dried up – Nothing left Once was great – Now is gone Once was right – Now is wrong
