I don't miss where I came from
But each night I dream about being back home When I wake up in the morning I'm too tired, tired of being alone So I get up and go downtown And pick me out a little piece of ground Where I can prove something to the world I can prove something to the world Don't look at me I'm the bus stop boxer X2 Daddy put us in the truck and Dropped us off and said good luck, then One lucky kid waiting for the bus Made a winner out of one of us Don't look at me I'm the bus stop boxer X2 Going down by the railroad tracks, where People know that they better not relax I'm the man, baby, I am the man This is where I can make you understand I'm the bus stop boxer Don't look at me X2 |

Souljacker can't get my soul
Ate my carcass in a black manhole Souljacker can't get my soul He can shoot me up full of bullet holes But the souljacker can't get my soul Souljacker can't get my soul Left my carcass with the worms and moles Souljacker can't get my soul He can hang my neck from the old flagpole But the souljacker can't get my soul |

It’s what I need to miss... is you going to your funeral and I’m feeling like a fool no one’s gonna take the blame thinking about the days of hanging out behind the school everything goes away |

My beloved monster and me
We go everywhere together Wearing a raincoat that has four sleeves Gets us throught all kinds of weather * She will always be the only thing That comes between me and the awful sting That comes from living in a world that's so damn mean My beloved monster is tough If she wants she will disrobe you But if you lay her down for a kiss Her little heart it could explode * repeat La la la la la la la la |

Mama gripped onto the milkman's hand
And then she finally gave birth Years go by, still I don't know Who shall inherit this earth And no one will know my name until it's on the stone This could be your lucky day... in hell Never know who it might be at your doorbell This could be your lucky day... in hell... in hell Waking up with an ugly face Winston Churchill in drag Looking for new maternal embrace Another tired old gag Am I just a walking bag of chewed up dust and bones? This could be your lucky day... in hell Never know who it might be at your doorbell This could be your lucky day... in hell... in hell Father Theresa, you can't make me into you I never wanna be like you Why can't you see, it's me You know it's time to let me go This could be your lucky day... in hell Never know who it might be at your doorbell This could be your lucky day... in hell... in hell... in hell... This could be your lucky day... in hell Never know who it might be at your door bell... in hell This could be your lucky day... in hell... in hell... in hell... in hell... |

Blue light is flickering
Through the city streets One billion TV sets Glowing off concrete One day closer to death I know that I don't have too long Whatever happened to soy bomb Lunch box collector loves all the pussycats But when he goes to bed He wonders where he's at Thrift store shirts and old haircuts Living in an old sitcom Whatever happened to soy bomb The day is coming when you'll have to think of it Was it really worth it All that shit Blue light is flickering Through the cloudy sky On billion lonely hearts Beat until they die One day closer to death I know that I don't have too long Whatever happened to soy bomb |

Dear cousin,
I got your letter It was more than i thought i deserved Well she sounds perfect, all i dream of And i dream about so much it is absurd But when i get there and she sees me I'll be impressed if she does not run screaming My kind of love is an ugly love But it's real and it lasts a long, long time I had a thought while i was sleeping And i dreamed about a place for us to rest Eternity under the old oak tree But i go too far i guess Maybe i'll think about tomorrow And maybe i can get her to stay that long 'cause my kind of love is an ugly love But it's real and it lasts a long, long time And if she finds me so repulsive She wouldn't be the first to wretch Well i decided one day long ago I was never gonna be the greatest catch And if she cares about the car i drive Then she can get in hers The moment i arrive 'cause my kind of love is an ugly love But it's real and it lasts a long, long time |

Seen a lot, been through too much But this is where i draw the line It's not where you're coming from It's where you're going to And i just wanna go with you December is a lonely month In a year of lonely days It's hard to tell which way is up Or down or out Or through the haze People cheat and people lie While you just watch it all go by Counting days until you die The stars shine in the sky tonight Like a path beyond the grave When you wish upon that star There's two of us you need to save It's not where you're coming from It's where you're going to And i just wanna go with you |

Everybody thinks it's strange I get up early in the morning No matter how disappointed I was With the day before It feels new I don't leave the house much I don't like being around people Makes me nervous and weird I don't like going to show either It's better for me to stay at home Some might think it means I hate people But that's not quite right I got a dog I take him for a walk And all the people like to say hello I'm used to staring down at the sidewalk cracks I'm learning how to say hello Withou too much trouble I'm turning out just like my father Though I swore I never would Now I can say that I have love for him I never really understood What it must have been like for him Living inside his head I feel like hi's here with me now Even though he's dead It's not all good and it's not all bad Don't believe everything you read I'm the only one who knows what it's like So I thought I'd better tell you Before I leave So in the end I'd like to say That I'm a very thankful man I tried to make the most of my situation And enjoy what I had I knew true love and I knew passion And the difference between the two And I had some regrets But if I had to do it all again Well, it's something I'd like to do |

Walking through the dirty streets Of Paris in the hot August heat Sun melting the fake smile away Just looking for a place to stay The actress gave up all her old dreams And traded up now she is a queen Royal families don't have time for that shit Your crystal ball you keep it hid The tractor trailer driver radios: Help me someone I'm out here all alone Truck driving the black night away Prayin' for the light of day The kid in the mall works at Hawt Dawg on a stick His hat is a funny shape his heart is a brick Taking your order he will look away He doesn't have a thing to say But me I'm feeling pretty good as of now I'm not so sure when I got here or how Sun melting the fake smile away I think, you know, I'll be okay |

Wear the suitcase on the rack. White lines shooting by, on the pavement like the sky. Looking straight ahead, into the black. Woman driving, man sleeping. There's no radio to play. Sitting with the map, laying crumpled on her lap. Looking for the toll money to pay. *Man sleeping is man dreaming, in a large apartment house. Walking and knocking on doors. Woman driving, man sleeping. Passin' all the other cars. Searching in the black, but never turning to look back. A little metal box under the stars. * Repeat Woman driving, man sleeping. (x2) |

Baby I confess I am quite a mess So let's get married and make some people More than equal in this world of shit I will make a pledge To get down off the ledge You and I belong together And forever we will have our love |

Souljacker can't get my soul
Ate my carcass in a black manhole Souljacker can't get my soul He can shoot me up full of bullet holes But the souljacker can't get my soul Souljacker can't get my soul Left my carcass with the worms and moles Souljacker can't get my soul He can hang my neck from the old flagpole But the souljacker can't get my soul |

The sun kisses the morning dew
just the way that i'm kissing you The birds are tweeting in sweet harmony Teaching the free world how to be free The day is new and a good one too How can i prove my love to you I wanna give you everything Me and the birds now we're gonna sing When i wake up to your beautiful smile Sometimes it takes me a little while to realize that i am awake and that living today will be a piece of cake and i won't keep you for myself no you're not a toy on my shelf the world needs to know that you're here so spread your wings and fly, my dear The day is new and a good one too How can i prove my love to you I wanna give you everything Me and the birds now we're gonna sing |

I write the b-sides
That make a small portion of the world cry I like the sea-side And singing songs that make you not wanna die Throw a stone into the sea And wait for it to come back to me Better get out on the boat Cos' someone told me that stones don't float I like to sit out back And look up at the squirrels in the trees They don't like radio tracks And they don't ever talk down to me Throw a nut up in the tree Gonna fall right back on me Well these guys know who they are And what they needs in their own backyard Whoo-ooh Whoo-ooh I like to play in the snow I stick my hand in, now where did it go? It might be mighty cold But that's all part of not doing what you're told |

So you've got balls now
Murray on the run Down on Newberry Street Seventeen seconds of fun Apes are overrated blocky A kinky batch of pudding, yay Garbage dump, pumpkin rot And candy apple gray Werewolf in the flowerbed Perfect day for lucky guy This song was never meant to be released What's that flaming ball in the sky? The crackhead from Texas He can read my feet A bruised pinata And a liquid pixie If friends were flowers Nothing gold can stay Gun-sexual sense And squeegee tails Bees in the cookie jar Symphonic despair Reinventing the manifesto Are you? We don't care Jacuzzis and bunnies A broken fondue set Koool G is in the outhouse You can be my Mr. French This old Frisbee Is shitting in the alley I saw a naked picture of me on the Internet Wearing Jesus' new snowshoes Golly gee If Hell is crowded, then we shall sing A hip song for the kids in the back For Michelle and the dripping of a faucet Ride the vicious bicycle on the tracks Olympic mayonnaise Doctor Thunder Low occupancy vehicle stops and starts With Hollywood suspicion The doctor had snake hearts |

Jehovahs Witness, leave me alone
Jehovahs Witness, I'm not at home Keep on a-knockin' and a-ringin' the bells Knockin' your way straight to Hell Jehovahs Witness, let's not pretend That for one second you are my friend Knock on my door and I'll turn out the light Close the curtains and turn in for the night Jehovah's Witness, why must it be Just when I'm feelin' good I look out and see You're walkin' up in your very nice suit Walk down some alley where they'll give up a hoot Jehovahs Witness, leave me alone Jehovahs Witness, I'm not at home Jehovahs Witness, leave me alone Jehovahs Witness, I'm not at home |

This rotten world's gonna chew you up Swallow you whole and then spit you back out The sooner you recognize this simple fact Then this rotten world gives you what you lack Ol' miss headtrip She's gettin' down You don't see her much walking 'round town Well you could say that she needs a little lovin' Looking for a light with her head in the oven This rotten world's gonna chew you up Swallow you whole and then spit you back out The sooner you recognize this simple fact Then this rotten world gives you what you lack Miss kovaleva She's lookin' good Walkin' her ass through the neighborhood She knows something that you don't know Something she learned about a long time ago This rotten world's gonna chew you up Swallow you whole and then spit you back out The sooner you recognize this simple fact Then this rotten world gives you what you lack This rotten world's gonna chew you up Swallow you whole and then spit you back out |

When I was born
The doctor said There's something wrong Inside that baby head When I was a boy In Sunday school I told them all That they were fools All in a day's work To live and breathe A sight to see And so it goes I went into The fortune teller's She wouldn't read My horoscope I go into The laundromat The people all Buy extra soap All in a day's work To live and breathe A sight to see All in a day's work To live and breathe A sight to see |

Saturday Morning
And who's gonna play with me? Six in the morning, baby I got a long, long day ahead of me The parents are sleeping soundly The neighbors are dead as wood I'm getting up and coming over We gotta rock the neighborhood Nothing's ever gonna happen 'round here If we don't make it happen Sleep away the day if you want to But I got something that I gotta do It's Saturday Morning And this ain't the place for me I'm giving you warning, baby We got a whole big, fat, world to see Nothing's ever gonna happen 'round here If we don't make it happen Sleep away the day if you want to But I got something that I gotta do It's Saturday Morning And who's gonna play with me? Six in the morning, baby I got a long, long day ahead of me Saturday morning Saturday morning |

Don't got a lot of time Don't give a damn Don't tell me what to do I am the man If there's a god up there Something above God shine your light down here Shine on the love Love of the loveless Don't have too many friends Never felt at home Always been my own man Pretty much alone I know how to get through And when push comes to shove I got something that you need I got the love Love of the loveless All around you people walking Empty hearts and voices talking Looking for and finding Nothing Don't got a lot of time Don't really care Not selling anything Buyer beware If there's a god up there Something above God shine your light down here Shine on the love Love of the loveless Don't got a lot of time Don't give a damn Don't tell me what to do I am the man Love of the loveless |

I like a girl with a dirty mouth
Someone that I can believe We had a window, not open too long But that time is good and gone And if I ever see her again Just walking by with some new guy I know that we will need to pretend And hope our eyes keep telling lies Sit on the back porch and wonder bout her What is she doing right now? Making somebody a happier man Dying her hair back to brown Once in a while your life gets so good Worth all the trouble of the past That was the case but I think I always knew Good things don't ever last And if I ever see her again Just walking by with some new guy I know that we will need to pretend And hope our eyes keep telling lies I like a girl with a dirty mouth Know that I can trust her We had our time but it didn't last too long And that time is good and gone That time is good and gone |

Am I gonna be alright?
No, I'm not gonna be alright nothin' is alright now am i gonna see the sun come up? or am i goin' down? 'cause everyday i'm here all i feel is sheer agony Friends tellin' me that maybe i need some pychiatric help yeah, they're always so quick to tell you just how to get on with it I look into the mirror and all i see is ancient fear and agony If i could just remember what it was like when i was younger oh, the joy and happiness replaced with hunger and all i've got to show for the seeds that didn't grow is agony |

They told me that I couldnt come back here again
Took me for some kind of fool Said I was doing things that never should be done But I dont care about their rules As if I cared bout the little minds In the little heads of the herd Theres nothing you could dream Would be more absurd And everybody knows these are rock hard times I gotta make it through These are rock hard times I dont know what it is theyre trying to do to me Make me into some sick joke But no ones laughing And least of all not me Its hard to laugh as you choke Hollywood lies piled up to the sky Floating your way soon Hope you like the rotten stench of doom And everybody knows these are rock hard times I gotta make it through These are rock hard times I dont know what it is they think Im gonna try They dont know what they need to fear The surest sign that the end is coming soon Is right there in the bathroom mirror Everybody knows these are rock hard times I gotta make it through These are rock hard times These are rock hard times |

I am a lone wolf
I always was and will be I feel fine, I am resigned to this I am a lone wolf I am a lone wolf Got my cares Wrapped up all nice and neat In my suitcase Ill take it down the street To a place with plenty of space for me I am a lone wolf I am a lone wolf It blows my mind That people wanna try to get inside my tired head I am a lone wolf I am a lone wolf I am a lone wolf Nobody needs to get too close to me Youll only see this truth I am a lone wolf |
