I am just a painting of your insides
Apocalypse soon
Apocalypse soon
We’re gonna be a star
Burn super-hot in a nuclear fire
Stop right where you are
Let’s save ourselves
It’s almost here
We face our finish
Will we whisper? Will we roar?

Chorus:
Stop the war!
Put down those fuckin’ nukes!
Take the world back from those greedy suits
And save our children-troops
How many mothers cried, “He Died!”

No more insane desire
No dreams or hopes in a nuclear fire
Don’t know where we are
In a blinded oblivion
It’s oh so near
You think I’m crazy
We gotta open up our eyes and our minds

Repeat chorus

Solo:
You are just a painting of my insides
Apocalypse soon
Apocalypse soon
It’s all around
It’s our extinction
Don’t forget the threat
‘cause it’s not over yet!

Repeat chorus

Oh everybody gets the blues
Oh everybody gets the blues

Tiger gotta hunt
Bird gotta fly
Man gotta sit and wonder
“Why why why?”
Tiger gotta sleep
Bird gotta land
Man gotta tell himself
“I understand”

Chorus:
See the cat? See the cradle?
He tried but he wasn’t able
Kurt Vonnegut I wanna get
Every book you every wrote and
Read it
Yes Sir!

Do it again
Oh everybody gets the blues
Oh everybody gets the blues

Cat get to hunt
Bird get to flee
I get to sit and wonder
“God why me?”
Cat go to sleep
Bird go to land
I go to tell myself
“I understand”

Repeat chorus

But who’s got the time these days?

Repeat chorus

Right now take me down
Move your body all around
Soul jarred, kiss me hard
Show me everything you want to Baby

Daylight and a heavy load
Line up, gotta go
All day I push and shove
Can’t stay, dream about your love
Stressed out, angry times
When I treat my Baby unkind
Hey, I have faith

Chorus:
She forgive me!

Fall tears! Bring the pain!
I’ll be with you all the way
Through the thick I will stay
You can do anything you want to Baby

Broke back down on the floor
Dog-tired still I want more
Yes I can be a greedy fool
Who don’t always do the best thing for you
You’re not mine, but I believe
I’m half you and you’re half me
Hey – when I stray

Repeat Chorus

Solo

Repeat Chorus

Hey hey microphone
Reach deep down in my soul
Pull out some Rock n Roll
I try every single day
To change my wicked ways
But I just can’t stop from
Rippin’ it up! Rippin’ it up! Woo!
One, two, gonna sniff you up like glue
Three, four, get some more,
Five six gotta get my fix, Woo!
Hey microphone, my great-big doggy bone
My friend when I’m all alone
I said, “Check! Check! One Two!”

Chorus:
Hey! I’ve got you where I want you now,
With that sweet sweet Hickabilly beat
Hey! I’ve got you where I want you now,
Sweet beat, Hickabilly groove!

Hair, blood, flesh, and bone
All trippin’ out in the zone
Lined up to the microphone
I rock everyday, my friends
The music never ends
And I just can’t stop from
Rippin’ it up! Rippin’ it up! Woo!
East, West - imaginary at best
Said Left, right, loose or tight
Yin Yang walla walla bing bang Woo!
Hey microphone
My ticket to the land o’ tone
Don’t need no methodone
‘Cause music gets me high!

Repeat Chorus

Solo

Hey hey microphone
I’m feelin’ that Rock n Roll
Right down to my anklebone
It ain’t wrong, it ain’t right
It ain’t black, it ain’t white
Now opposites unite!

Repeat Chorus

Hand me down the banjo
Got them dirty love-sick blues
I try to be a wise man
But I love to play the fool
I been all around, you know
All around, you know
It’s true

I’m headed for the mountain
And I won’t stop ‘til I see
My luscious pothole Mama
Who’s waiting there for me
She love me, Lord you know
She love me, Lord you know
It’s true

Chorus:
Callin’ all companions
All around the world
Holler out to Heaven
Ooooooooooh!!

So light yer marijuana
And watch yer porno too
There’s seven weeks of winter
‘til it’s summertime with you
I’m in love with all the world
Love with all the world
It’s true

Repeat Chorus

Can’t eat – can’t sleep – can’t get up
Can’t eat – can’t sleep – can’t get out of bed

Callin’ all companions
All around the world
Holler out to Heaven
Ooooooooooh!!

Living without your love ain’t easy, not at all
I try to get up but all I seem to do is fall
Without you I feel like I been torn in two
And I don’t know what to do – I’m lost without you

Chorus:
So Kiss me, kiss me
Baby can’t you see
That I need you with me
Now

Since I been gone I feel a million miles away
I’m still hangin’ on so it gets harder every day
I love you – so I can’t help but be torn in two
And I don’t know what to do – I’m lost without you

Repeat Chorus

Whenever I’m right, I might be wrong
Whenever I’m weak, I’m really strong
When I’m lost, I guess that’s where I belong

Solo

I love you – so I can’t help but be torn in two
And I don’t know what to do – I’m lost without you

Repeat Chorus

Hey man, come take me by the hand
I’m gonna lead you to the Promised Land
Just sign right here on the plotted line
Everything’s gonna be fine! Beautiful all the time!
Nothin’ be wrong when everything right!
Whoops! Look out now!
Don’t wanna be upside down!
What if you got in an accident?
What would you do? Aren’t you scared?!

Step up now! Everybody left-right-left!
Can’t you see? I’m on prime time! Prime time baby!
Don’t ya wanna get up?! You don’t wanna be down, now
Get famour! Get rich! But first . . .

Chorus:
Work! That’s the way it goes
Work! Everybody knows
Work! All the pimps and the ho’s gotta work!

Hey lady, you can’t feed your baby?
You’d better get another job then
I hear that waitresses make lots of money! (haha!)
They’re hiring down at Raunchies
I hear that Mal-Wart could always use a friendly smile
Like yours to hide behind

Welcome! You’re beautiful!
We love you here!
You’ll be joining a force of millions of children,
I mean workers all around the world!
It’s like Heaven here! No one will sexually harass you in ANY way,
But they should! Cuz you’re fuckin’ hot!
And I could make you come . . . and see me after

Repeat Chorus

Interlude

Hey kid, make sure you’re not late for class
And ya better play straight or I’m gonna kick your ass
Our logos will fly into your eyes as you’re ostrasized
Do you know what that means?
I guess we should’ve taught you how to read!

But nothing’s free – and don’t you ever lay in your bed all day
Cuz you gotta get back to the grind!
I don’t wanna catch you high!
I’ll be sure to check your eyes!
Don’t you ever lie to me, cuz I’m here to make your lazy ass

Repeat Chorus

Can’t see for the walls comin’ in on me
Finally find I’m gettin’ old
Kick around on a down-bound monkey rig
Tryin’ to find my way home
Sometimes gets a little bit closer
Then a little bit far
Don’t fight it, it’s better to burn
And never fade away at all

I try to blame the world but it’s no use
‘cause I’m choosing to suffer your abuse
That’s why

Chorus:
I am my own worst enemy
Everybody sing now
“I am my own worst enemy”
Afraid of everything

Interlude

Climb high grab the cream pie in the sky
Go even further when you fall
Tumble down make a loud sound hit the ground
Build a lonely brick wall
Big brain get a little bit crazy
All alone in my room
Bite spit grab howl
Buckle up and face the gloom

I try to blame the world but it’s no use
‘cause I’m choosing to suffer your abuse
That’s why
Repeat Chorus

I – ain’t a letter
I – ain’t a word
I – an epic, ragged masterpiece
Nobody ever heard
With yours-truly cast as the
Exiled King of Everything

Chorus:
I am Aaragorn, ranger in the wild
Mangy as a child, but I don’t feel great today

The object of obsession
Returns right here, to me
The source of the stream of
Icy prejudice and greed
While yours-truly waits for
The kiss of the faerie Queen

Chorus:
I am Aaragorn, ranger in the wild
Mangy as a child, but I don’t feel great today
Brave son of Aarathorn, driving down the road
Lost in The Evermore carrying a heavy load

Interlude/solo

I – is a sentence
I – is a lie . . .
So goodbye hope, goodbye love,
And goodbye troubles all!

Repeat Chorus

Step aside when you see me coming by
Look away put the fear in your eyes
Get down – don’t make a sound
Get down – just stay on the ground
Don’t cry! And don’t even try to get up
You can’t run and you cannot hide
I got no conscience! I got no worries!
Except maybe the cut of my suit or the size of my dick!

Chorus:
Big Bully!
Got a heart like a fat black bloody hole
Got no soul
So greedy!
We’re all tired of you ripping it up
And throwing it all away
You’ve got numbered days

Get right with a payoff or a bribe
I play for the rich and pretty tribe
Zeig Heil! Have a pop and a smile
Zeig Heil! Feel the call of the wild
But don’t cry , and don’t ask why
Cuz there’s some born to crawl
And some to ride

You’ve got no money!
You’ve got no rights!
Except maybe the ones we let you enjoy ‘til the time is right

Repeat Chorus

Solo/Interlude

Why is everybody so angry at me? I mean,
It’s not like I’m doing anything . . . illegal

Repeat Chorus

No fire burns you like passion
No drowning like love
Outside everyting’s passing
How do we rise above

I get up – break down the doorway
I march right down the hall
Ain’t gonna do it your way! No!

Chorus:
I’m all riled and I’m ready to go
And I’m wild and it’s starting to show
With all of these insane distractions
Creating a chain reaction around the world

Uptight – living ain’t easy
Now you’re out on your own
Downright head-game sleazy
Flickering in my home

Had enough lies on the TV
Tell me how I should be
Alone and greedy and scared
Instead . .

Repeat Chorus

Interlude/solo

Had enough! Break down the doorway!
March right down the hall!
Ain’t gonna do it your way! No!

Repeat Chorus
