Risking Life & Limb 4-2 Boogie 03:06
lyrics
I hate my job and hate my wife I hate my friends. I hate my life I hate the world. I hate this girl I hate my hair cuz it’s ain’t there I hate the moon. I hate the stars I hate this room. I hate the cars I hate the street. I hate to meet The drunks that stumble off their feet But I’m Riskin life & limb for to boogie down And I’m makin’ love & sin in my birthday suit now. I hate this fat. I hate disease I hate a party I have to leave I hate sports fans. I hate a plan I hate a deadline I have to meet I hate confusion. I hate lies I hate choosin. Takin’ sides I hate November. I hate the heat I hate the smell of smelly feet But I’m Riskin life & limb for to boogie down And I’m makin’ love & sin in my birthday suit now. I love the sun. I love the earth Give me some fun. Give me some mirth I love to eat. I love my feet I love the light that shines on me I love my job. I love my wife I love my friends. I love my life I love the world. I love this girl I love my hair cuz it ain’t there

Statement of Fact 03:14
lyrics
You act like you’re a statement of fact---But you’re a fiction You act like you’re consistent but---You are a contradiction You get others to follow --But you will never last long You think that what you’re doing is right---But you are so wrong You think that you can fix everything---But you’re a fuck up You sink and try to act like your humble---But you are stuck up You’re brain is overloaded with facts---But you know nothing About the way to world really acts---You’re full of stuffing Solid Ground---Can’t be found---Anywhere around you You are bound ---To be found--Out to be ---The phony dude We always knew you to be Can’t you see ---Can’t you see---That she is a liar Born to be---Can’t you see---That the flames---Are getting higher You think you’re powerful but in fact you are a weakling Crybaby wants his freedom Attacks what he is seeking Control is what you’re after of those who are around you We’re here to set you free but as yet we haven’t found you Puffing up Nothing but---Phony bravado Beat your chest Like the rest--- You’re set to auto-pilot

Just Because 04:10
lyrics
Just because your mother hated you Don’t mean ya gotta hate yourself Just because your brother hated you Don’t mean ya gotta hate yourself Just because your father hated you Don’t mean ya gotta hate yourself You’re wonderful inside without their fucking stupid lies Your parents died--Oh long before the day you were conceived. Been better off without them but they all refused to leave They offered you a coffin and they told you to get in (You were) just a little boy or girl but you can’t let them win CHORUS So decorate that coffin like it was a discoteque And build a home out of the wood with Love and Self respect. And let the dead bury the dead Like Zarathustra said And leave the creeps behind who tried to kill your loving mind CHORUS So leave that fucking home today Far from that fucking hated place That some fat douchebag called a home Where you cried, frightened all alone Where you felt like a worthless shit Home’s not the fucking word for it You didn’t get what you deserved Home was abusive and absurd CHORUS Now that you know your life’s at stake You need to get fully awake And rip the scales off from your eyes Refuse their bitter hopeless lies Find friends who will love you for you And choose the family that you choose Somewhere to share all of your pain And heal and be reborn again And maybe you will change your name Everything’s changed but it’s the same CHORUS There’s power in irrational In chaos every wish fulfilled It’s easy and impossible The cup is never ending full I know who I am And I’m not them Or what they thought they saw in me Or didn’t see what I could be Or saw it but did not believe INCREDIBLE Is what we’ve achieved CHORUS

If I'm That Lucky To Have You 03:08
lyrics
Seeing you in the sky as I gaze upon this cloud Loving you is the why I am sitting here out loud Your breath breathes life into my veins Without you I’m just not the same Life here has no meaning Without your eyes beaming The hope that I feel when I see you is teeming Never felt so alive as when you enter my deep thoughts Gives my life such a drive teaches me what I need taught Your face inspires me to go on Gives faith to someone who’s rather on The hope I have now was without for many years before Sustains me in a way I can’t explain gets me through pain I endure I fly past the lies that the world delivers daily With you by my side I can face the fear of Hades I’m blessed you are here for as long as I love you Forever and a year if I’m that lucky to have you

Adorability 03:16
lyrics
You have the great gift of adorability And you must protect it with all of your might You have a great charge of responsibility Please accept nothing in return but full price Don’t let them mistreat you like a god damned bicycle Remember you’re not their fuckin’ slave You’re neither their shrink or spiritual counselor And it’s not your job to make them behave Remember you’re not their god damned therapist Remember you’re not their god damned mom But you are an equal and you should be treated so You don’t need to save them or keep them from harm You are so damn, cute, smart, friggin adorable You deserve a cute smart adorable return You’ve gone through shitty guy / girl fuckin’ relationships It’s time that you shine now without getting burned You deserve love, so much adoration Support, respect, fun and room to grow You deserve guidance—some time for vacation Give yourself the opportunity to show The world what you’re made of--unencumbered Free from those kids who just wanna play games You are the one and only can save yourself So leave the rest of us to do the same

Heterosexual Fab Bash 02:36
lyrics
Bored to death I went out in a dress A really tight red-hot number My friends were impressed with my fearlessness But what boredom can do is a wonder Lipstick rouge some plastic boobs Black eyeliner A fake vagina I was ready to dance was all ants in the pants Til a bat knocked my spine outta line ah Heterosexual fag bash I can’t help it if I’ve got a great ass And I turned on some jocks in a Bentley My wife says that I’m just too damn friendly “I’ve got AIDS’ I said They almost beat me to death Like Led Zep got beat up by John Bonham But I didn’t try. I just stared at the sky But I managed to get some blood on ‘em They’ll go home and they will cry Imagine their dicks are on fire Or they’ll take it out on some other boy scout And hate all that they desire

No Matter How Hot 02:46
lyrics
She’s got such gorgeous eyes So big they hypnotize Her skin has such a glow Her walk has such a flow She’s got that rack of lamb She’s got those gorgeous gams Her lips are red and full She’s young and beautiful But no matter how hot she is There’s some guy out there who’s sick of her shit She’s into metal bands She’s got such gorgeous hands Her hair is long and soft She owns a Soho loft She’s got a killer smile And such a confident style She is the only one That’s having any fun But no matter now hot she is There’s some guy out there who’s sick of her shit

Subway Love 02:15
lyrics
Subway Love it’s got me again Subway Love and it always ends Subway Love when I reach my stop Subway Love can I please get off? Let’s hear it for Subway Love (EEK ! )) Let’s hear it for Subway Love ( CREEP ! ) Let’s hear it for Subway Love ( HELP ) Let’s hear it for Subway Love ( POLICE !! ) Subway Love Roosevelt Avenue Subway Love a fab fab fabulous view Subway Love the Bedford Stop Hop Subway Love the chicks they’re so hot CHORUS Subway Love YA LOOK but don’t touch Subway Love But don’t look too much Subway Love she’s checking you out Subway Love until she starts to shout CHORUS Subway Love I fall every day Subway Love I now know I’m not gay Subway Love A crowded subway Is no excuse for hands to go astray CHORUS

Hot Flash 03:50
lyrics
Hot flash of inspiration Love and heat no refrigeration can cool Hot flash of love and fire Here to light your mad desire , You fool ! You were cool before But inside you needed more You needed so much more Women of her generation About this time they stop menstration, You see Mood swings and other symptoms All depends on the chemicals in them, What be. You were cool before But inside you’re so much more With you it’s so much more

You Are Not A Victim 02:47
lyrics
You are not a victim------Your feelings don’t restrict ‘em But get out of your system-----To learn and love and listen Don’t run and don’t isolate-----Let out anger let out hate Don’t become a bully------But learn to love more fully Take responsibility-----Listening is key you see Share your pain with others------Come out from under covers They’re loving you in silence------Cause words are much too violent And words pretend to know things------But silence brings the best things Silence will communicate-------What words only complicate Tangled in a web of lies--------Best keep silent close your eyes
