Free Ride

How many times you got to see there ain't no free ride?
All these shiny packages got nothing inside
It's the same old thing we've seen before but don't want to try
We treat it like you told us---
And it died.
So cover up your tracks, kid, let's go for a ride
If you can't lie your face off you will never survive
There's nothing not worth taking, 'cos we're all gonna die
I said I wouldn't stab your back...
Don't ask no questions, Kid, don't ask me why
At the end of the day it's just demand and supply
You can burn them to the core and think they'll never get wise
You can rip them off but now there's murder in their eyes
You can blame the world for your rigors in life
I hope you slip and fall off the edge of your knife
Think you've got 'em fooled, but just don't bet your life
Because you say your plan is bulletproof

Occupy Me

Occupy me
Cross my line
Whether I fuck or fight
I'll still be the same
I'll let you run around inside
'cos I want to get occupied
Now tell me what you have to tell
and I may give you all of my time
To cut the wheels
Off this juggernaut of lies
we can work it out
Although some fuckers doubt
Occupy me
Fill up my life
In all the ways I can't
With what all you'll satisfy
I want you feeding at my trough
Just like a squealing herd of swine
I want you tearing at my hide
As if I were more succulent than Christ
Occupy me
Make this all right
You can snap the wheels
Off this juggernaut of lies
Come on baby, don't we do this all for love?
Now occupy me, 'cos
I'd give anything for some
Don't want to live so bored
Want to feel more alive
I want to feel alive--

Crash Everything
01:57

No lesson ever truly learned
The world is absurd
No good deed goes unpunished
They’ll wreck everything you understood
They’ll reward the shit, they’ll adore it
Until every thing you hold dear has died away
I have to scratch it clean
If that means crashing everything-
I’m ok with that
I woke up today, I could not see
So I crashed everything
They’ll tread on you in every way
Until they’ve put you in a cage
You go, because you’re innocent
You go, because they say
You just go, to get away
No lesson ever truly learned
The world is absurd
No good deed goes unpunished
They’ll wreck everything you understood
They’ll tread on you in every way
Until they’ve put you in a cage
You go, because you think you’re innocent
You think that you’re all innocent
You think you’re innocent—

Let The Water Decide
01:00

Let the water decide--
You think you got plans
Don't think you understand
I bet you'll drown to a man
Seems like we're all going down
Are you set for the sight
When your dreamy dreams die
Will you be ready to fight
Do you know how you'll survive this now
World takes us all for a ride
Nowhere you can go and hide
Piles of money all set on fire
Can you climb higher?
They think they know how and why
Certain they all got a right
Don't think we get to decide
Who winds up in a blender
Truth or fiction
Grease or friction
Fusion or fission
Or just contradiction
World takes us all for a ride
Know where you can go and hide
Piles of money all set on fire
Can you climb any higher?

Hadn't we already lost it all?
No longer relevant enough to heed the call
Still hope to score yourself a parachute
No more the element of trust surprise or belief
Don't you think it's fucking cute?
You've still no idea how you gave it all away
Just 'cos you have conviction
Doesn't mean you should be doing something dumb
You'll fuck it all away and that'll be the end of that
You want to see your name up in lights
Your thoughts, they're so significant--
Belied by the ease with which you'll trust a hypocrite
'Cos there's no one to say goodnight to
While you're turning out the lights
The world is so uptight
All you know about yourself
Is sovereignty, family, and wealth
Good people out to help themselves
I hope that you don't lose your house
Are you sure that we're not all orphans now?
Hadn't we already lost it all?
No longer relevant enough to heed the call
Still hope to score yourself a parachute
All this ambivalence without a scrap of dignity
New version of the old excuse
So crack another beer, before the tar pits call you away
Whatever happened to your say?
Every night and day for life but, hey
You fuck it all away, that'll be the end of that
There's no one to say goodnight to
While they're turning out the lights
The world is so uptight
No one to say goodnight to
While they're turning out the lights
The world is so uptight
No one to say goodnight to
The world is so uptight
I just wanted to say goodnight, dear
For the rest of our lives

Changelings

They love you when you're gone
They pushed you towards the grave
The bright star's gravity saved you
And in doing so it made you a slave
They love you and you're gone
They party on your grave
That new star's gravity crushed you
And ejects you into space
Now when the kids rewind you
They wonder what it was you meant
They are still quick to reference you
They'll just never turn you on again
They'll chain you when you're strong
They'll break you when you're weak
And if love's gravity come take you it's
Gonna shake you from your head to your feet

Dike Of Your Confusion
01:56

I'm not crazy
I'm a daisy
I'll sing for who pays me
No sweat, Sir, I'm not gonna
Start a revolution
I don't have solutions
I don't have the thumbs to plug the
Dike of your confusion
Howling at the night, fire blacks the sky.
Like tide, they'll rise up.
I won't even mind
I won't try to
Stop a revolution
So start a revolution

Rockstar

Mildew covers these old walls
Jesus lingers down the hall
There's a crucifix around his neck
And a glass pipe stuck between his lips
I ain't seen nobody walking on the water
There's only cold souls in this 'hood
If Jesus only understood
They feed him shit and watch him die
Jesus was such a normal guy
'Til the Rockstar sold Jesus another fix
Well he coulda--he coulda
Have been one who cometh
Instead it seems that his religion hath plummeth
When he sold his Grail, where did he runneth?
When he sold his Grail, where did he go?
Ain't seen nobody walking on the water
Ain't seen nobody out there but the Rockstar
Selling Jesus another fix

Some days I want you madly
Sometimes I'll wish I'm dead
Some days you wake up angry
Somehow when nothing's said
Sometimes you're riding those highs
Some nights it never ends
Somehow it's turning into a nightmare again--
I'd be empty without you
You fill my heart with dread
You're the one who murders love
The best I ever had
Sometimes you drive me crazy
Sometimes the thrills run out
Sometimes you dress me up to tear me down
I'll leave you all alone
I'll give you that thing you crave
Worst lie in the whole goddamn world
Won't make you go away--
I need someone so badly
You've used up all our friends
Yet you some day may forgive me
Exactly as I am
Some nights we go out somewhere
And it feels like love--

Suicide Machine

Blue eyed suicide machine
Always too late when you realize
You're more conditioned than alive
I need you not to tell on me--
Don't get the door
I'm not home
Mailbox is full
Do you know your balance is low?
Packed your bags
Ready to go
Anyone asks
I've never seen you before
I told you not to tell on me--
Pour your brains out in a jar
Sleeping in a stolen car
Bags are packed
Ready to go
Anyone asks
I don't know...
I need you not to tell on me.

Emergent

They'll always move towards the shadows in the distance
Pending arrival, with the vampires on the edge and unaware
We creep slowly like cats through a jungle
Here comes another dispatch
An assignment to a failure
A different kind of janitor
But who knows--
We'll find it when we get there
Epileptic red bathing those same curious stares
Their ghosts swirl around us as the tramping of our feet
Inflicts control on the spaces only crazy eyes can see
Each torpid life form out here seems to count for something sweet
So is there any blood for us pulsing like rivers in the street
Is there any blood for us pulsing like rivers in the street
As the snow melts black beneath the wheels of our bed
Just know that we will sleep forever once we finally hit the sheets
For now we creep like cats through the jungle
The purr of the engine lulls in the absence of a klaxon bleat
We roam around like lions in forests of concrete
And we own all this shit
We own all this--
Wedged behind every Brooklyn brick
We'll find it when we get there
They will never let us stop
And no one any longer cares

A Hospital For My Dreams
03:45
|

Sorrow, murdering tomorrow
And while we burned
Sacrifices made
I lost myself, but anyway
The show was saved…
And I walked here on your toes, some say
Same who wonder, why each step
Takes me backwards all day. But, hey
There’s some things you will never know.
It's safer if you walk away
Leave a sucker to the plague
Abusing the host was surely sacrilege
I’m gonna have to melt you down
Far enough 'til nothing remains.
Although I fucked my way here
With the other slaves
We’re all collapsing in heaps at your feet
So, is this how it feels
When it’s time to kill your trainer?
And guess what-- you are that lion tamer.
You are the nurse
In the hospital
Built for my dreams.
