Eric Melvin

Can't stop obsessing all the alienation
My head is bleedin', frickin', brain constipation

Somebody hear me, somebody listen to me
Am I alone in this world, is there anyone listenin'?
Appease me, can't find a reason to be
Alienation, is taking over me

I'm going away, can't go on any longer
I really don't know why I just gotta die
I never thought this was how it would end

The body swingin', I see it over and over again
Vanian singin', can I ever listen to it again?
A cry for attention, it was a cry never heard
With no one listenin', there was nothing to be heard

> It's been a long time
Now it's time to get your bubble burst
Things are bad enough in the world
Why do you have to make them worse
Day after day, you just gotta get it
So sick and tired of your bitching and complaining
So long you've been oppressed while others lives are gaining
Want reparations, you're needy and deserving
Can't understand why some are served while you're doing the serving
Anything but responsibility
Where's my slice?
I want more than equal rights
I want everything for free!
You waste your time concerned with what others are earning
You want a revolution to start the tables turning
A demonstration to make a better nation
We'll spend the day protesting all the problems that we're facing
Anything but face reality
Where's my slice...
Your brilliant theory
How the world owes you a living
You'll take away from others,
The things they should be giving
They own the pie and you want your share
Whoever told you life was fair?
You were dealt your hand - now play it
Where's my slice...

Get out of my way,

can't you see I'm from L.A.?

Yeah, I met Slash, I've got a rose tattoo

I bet I know way more people than you



I just love this town,

my girlfriend weighs 84 pounds

Met her at the Cathouse where I get in for free

She pays the rent while I watch T.V.



hey hey hey



When we go out tonight,

gotta get my hair just right

Tight black pants and blue suede shoes

I'll get my picture in Rock City News



Gotta get those flyers out,

might meet a talent scout

And he will talk contracts with me

My fame and fortune and MTV

Sitting in a room waiting for some news
Sitting in a room with white knuckles
Not feeling so good
I didn't do the things I should

I said, "Doc, tell me what's wrong with me"
He had this expression he didn't know what to say
"It seems that you've contracted a new strain."

How could this happen to me?
Another victim another casualty
From fucking casually, another casualty



All the times I should have worn a jimmy hat
All the times I said, "What the fuck,
I won't look back, that's not for me."
I wouldn't listen to reason
Now look at me

Sometimes I think of all the places where I don't want to go
Then I think of all the things I don't want to do
And when I think of all the people I don't want to meet
I close my eyes and go to sleep

Tully, baby, you're trapped behind your golden bars
I'm the prince of poverty hangin' out in bars
Your life's a Mercedes, a mansion with a pool
My life's on a bus stop just waiting for some fuel

Your obviousness disgusts me I see through your macho lies
I'll fight everything you stand for
There's something in your purse baby, my head is getting sore
Maybe what we had was just green corn

> Jenny, so many times I tried to get away
But you kept following me all over town
I'll display it, there's no way to say it
I don't just want you,
I jusrt don't want you around,
I don't want you around,
You follow me around
It's really bringing me down
I don't want you around
When it was time to go I had nothing to say
Don't you look at me,
Don't you look at me that way
""I love you!"" Oh, really? Please go away
What gave you the idea?
Get it out of your head
You follow us around
We're not the Grateful Dead
I wanted to be friends but you wanted more
So, like I told you before
I don't want you around

Looking back to the past, predictions of the end
Unseen ultra violet rays are beating on my head
Nuclear threat wanna bet will be our demise
The day will come when we'll look to apocalyptic skies

When the news had spread, that soon we'd all be dead
Well it just blew our minds
No one could have guessed that our worst fears at best
Figments of our time

So it seems that our dreams will never come to be
How could such a stupid thing destroy humanity?
A few weeks till extinction and there's nothing we can do
A message sent to other worlds will say, "It was just the flu"

There's no lesson to be learned
There's no one left to learn it

You go

Now, something is lacking
I'm not attracting
My boobs are not as big as I want them to be
I want 36 D

I'm not receiving enough affection
Gonna get me a silicon injection
And fulfill my dreams
Bust outta my seams

My social life is pathetic
I can't find a man
What I need is cosmetic surgery
Be the best I can be

Proteins, and milkshakes
Mass vitamin consumption
Who needs to diet when liposuction
Is painless and quick, local anesthetic

I know what I want

Now my body is a model
Of flawless perfection
I most certainly will cause an erection
Wherever I go, but I still don't know

The reason why I can't find a mate
Guys I meet ejaculate
Then leave through the door
I can't take anymore

New boobs, jugs
New boobs, jugs
New boobs, jugs
...

You can't believe things you see and read
The Soviet threat
Our pseudo enemy
What's scaring me?
Our foreign policy
To make the world safe for business
Call it democracy

Our human nature, it's all the same
We spend our lives in the pursuit of happiness
So stop the hate, open the iron gate
It's our destiny to make the cold war history

You think I give a shit
If you're a socialist
If you're a capitalist
We've all got to exist
On this planet with nowhere to run
The millions of brainwashed must open their eyes
We are one

With us over here and them over there
Barbed wire borders are going nowhere

In the morning I awake

I feel my bladder about to break

I scratch my balls I rub my eyes

Just feeling lousy



My girlfriend tells me that

It's time to take a bath

I say, "no, not today, it's only tuesday"



Once every 24 hours

I'm supposed to take a shower

That's not the way I do it

Do it do it





Personal hygiene is the last thing on my mind

I don't want to do it

Do it do it



It doesn't make a difference to me

Everyday I do the same old thing

So why should I have to be clean?



Those dreaded wednesdays and saturdays

Also known as shower days

I hate them

Did you get that rush, that feeling
Adrenalin pumping through your veins?
A lifeless body in the gutter
City streets are stained

How do you rationalize?
What do you see in your reflection?
A kid just having fun
A soldiers bloodied boot impression

One for all and all for one
Especially when it's ten on one
You don't care what you're doing
You know it sure is fun

If it happened to your mother
Would you laugh so hard?
Well, that was someones son or brother
That you kicked so hard

But this time, you went too far
What's the matter, don't you feel alright?
Do you feel remorse?
Or are the handcuffs on a little too tight?

Now that your friends are gone
You've got no defense, no protection
5 or 6 times a day
You receive your hot beef injection

I hope every time
You're corn holed, terror fills your mind
The one emotion
You have inspired one too many times

Talking about the Moron Bros', tattooed fingers, tattooed toes
They're idiots, losers, they're scum
Taking advantage of everyone, you're a dog, they're your fleas
Doing everything they can to spread disease

Take your beer, take your drugs
Leave with you microscopic bugs
Their company is something you won't miss
Your ice trays are filled with piss

They are the Moron Brothers, don't get along with others
They are the Moron Brothers, don't get along with others
They'll whine, they'll bitch, they'll fuck you if you're rich
They'll leach, they'll latch, they itch, you can't scratch

They'll ink your face, tape your eyelids closed
Tabasco's in your mouth, mustard up your nose
Your head is shaved, think the worst has passed
Try to move your leg, put you in a cast, yeah

They are the Moron Brothers, don't get along with others
They are the Moron Brothers, don't get along with others
They may not go down in history but they'll go down on your sisters
And your mama and your father, oh
Gonna hung with him

Together on the sand

We walked hand in hand

On the beachfront.

She smiled at me

As she tightly held my hand

I had my fingers up her...

Country music played on the radio

So I turned it off.

We walked down to the water

As she grabbed on to my honker.

A wave swept us away

Ahaha, ahaha, ohoho

If I want some beer
I don't want to hear
How I missed the show
'Cause I drink to slow

Pass me the beer bong
It won't take very long
For me to put down
This torpedo to the ground

Drinking beer is too slow
Beer bong is the way to go
To go, to go
Don't drink too slow

Beer bong, Beer bong
Beer bong, Beer bong

If I want some beer
I don't want to hear
How I missed the show
'Cause I drink to slow

Pass me the beer bong
It won't take very long
For me to put down
This torpedo to the ground

Drinking beer is too slow
Beer bong is the way to go
To go, to go
Don't drink too slow

Beer bong, beer, beer bong
Bong, bong, bong

Don't even try to tell us what we can and cannot say profanity's a
tool that you cannot take away is freedom of expression just a load
of shit? Just another farce in american politics

I've got to get out of
I've got to get out of this hood
I've got to get out of this neighborhood
I've got to get out of it
Got to get out

I've had enough, won't call their bluff

Racism lives on both sides so

Do you want crack?

Do you want grass?
Smoke hash you white trash?

You better watch out

They're the ones who are racist
Why can't they just let me be?

Do you want crack?
Do you need smack on the track?
Do you want grass?
Smoke hash you white trash?

You better watch out
You better watch out

I've got to get out of this neighborhood
I've got to get out of this neighborhood
I've got to get out of it
I've got to get out of it

I live in a cake the one that I make don't wanna hear about my
mistakes this is the chance I take I live in a cake the one that I
make try not to worry about whats at stake I'm on the take

My name is Mr. Jones
I get inside your bones
I know how to make you tweak
You soon will be my freak

Because I know what you need
I control your mind
I roll up your sleeves
I make ties that bind, I've got you

You'll soon be begging on your knees
You've got the disease
All your money belongs to me
You've got the disease

I can't seem to live without you
Without you whats the point
I wasn't born with a silver burnt spoon
Do I still have any choice?
(No)

Because I know what you need
I control your mind
I roll up your sleeves
I make ties that bind

Sitting by yourself again so friends are near you got a needle in
one hand and in the other one a beer you can't cope with life
you can't even get up who's gonna help you? You've got to
pick yourself up but I've got no problems I've got no problems
your minds so fuckin clouded you can't see through the haze

It's that time of the month,
Again, your bitching,
Stop yelling at me.

I know you've got to plug yourself up,
But why take it out on me?

It's that time of the month,
Again, your bitching,
Stop yelling at me.

I know you've got to plug yourself up,
But why take it out on me?

Just leave me alone,
Stop yelling at me,
Leave me alone,
When it's your time to bleed

You fight for peace, but where's the war what the fuck are doing this for
You say disarmament that's the key well that's not the way it looks to me
You wear you leather jacket but you won't eat meat piece punk, get drunk,
Sake you hair go out, hang out do you really care? there's no easy answers
Complaining won't do shit if you want some changes, don't be a hypocrite
Fuck the system that's what they say but they live by it everyday food stamps
And welfare checks would you rather starve to death you wear your leather
Jacket but you won't eat meat piece punk, get drunk, sake your hair go out,
Hang out, do you really care don't you feel ridiculous now! half your
Wardrobe comes from a cow do you believe in anarchy? who are you
Really trying to be?

Affection not dissection,
Meat is murder,
Animals are for petting.
Oh shut the fuck up already.

I'm tired of you whining,
About poor little animals dying,
And the food they are supplying.
Because if a big animal had the chance,
It wouldn't take another glance,
It would eat you up.

"Affection not dissection,
Meat is murder,
Animals are for petting."
Oh shut your trap already.

I don't want to listen,
And I'm tired of your bitchin,
About what's in my kitchen.
Because if a big animal had the chance,
It wouldn't take another glance,
It will eat you up.

I play pool cause I'm no fool I play pool cause I'm cool I play pool
after school I play pool all the time Cue in my left hand, beer in
right I shout and drink all through the night that sloppy english does
me just right I use that sloppy english all the time I hold my stick
like I hold my dick hustling beers from wetto that's the trick I use
that sloppy english all the time

A truck stop in Kansas, nowhere to go
Too many days without any shows
It's 4 a.m. as I sip from my cup
5 a.m. the sun's coming up

My body has shifted from the touring mode
Trying to sleep in the van, on the road
Gotta find a place where I can sleep

I've got the truck stop blues
Taking care of myself, paying my dues
Living life day by day, I've got the truck stop blues
Don't think I'd have it any other way

Vegetarian
Vegetarian
Vegetarian

I, I don't want tofu
I'd rather have a mouthful of beef stew
I don't wanna be a vegetarian
Why eat beans when you can have steak instead?

I don't feel bad about
Eating something that's dead
Why should I be sad
For cows getting hit in the head?

So I like eating fish
Tell me what's wrong with this
How can you blame me
For eating chicken of the sea?

Vegetarian

Don't waste your breath yelling at me
About animal rights
And how they should be free
'Coz it's survival of the fittest
And we're winning

I don't feel bad about
Eating something that's dead
So why should I be sad
For chickens being force fed

So I like eating fish
Tell me what's wrong with this
How can you blame me
For eating chicken of the sea?

Vegetarian
Go fry an egg

Hey you, you have too much hair
And we don't like what you wear
And you have really bad breath
So were gonna beat you to death

Because there is plenty of us
And only one of you
We've got plenty of reasons
And here's just a few

You put your chocolate in my peanut butter
I was walking and you were in my way
You looked at me without my permission
And never even apologized

You put your chocolate in my peanut butter
That's good enough reason for me to bash
You put your chocolate in my peanut butter
That's good enough reason for me to smash

No justice/there's just us/so trust us

You put your chocolate in my peanut butter
You put your chocolate in my peanut butter
You put your chocolate in my peanut butter
You put your chocolate in my peanut butter

rationalize values it's so easy to succeed
keeping your eyes on the prize excess
camped outside laissez fair
people understand me there
don't talk to me we'll get along just fine
blowin' out your mores
henry ford tradition preys on
idle minds left the emergency brake on too long
underneath the city lies the ruins of mankind
the excavation was a financial success
with artifacts of gold
the arrowheads went straight to the Smithsonian
the rest was melted down and sold
substantial gains
minimal losses are tolerable
as long as the machine keeps running fine
cannibals
functioning on pheromones
rational thought lost to instinctual

don't call me white, don't call me white
don't call me white, don't call me white
the connotations wearing my nerves thin
could it be semantics generating the mess we're in?
I understand that language breeds stereotype
but what's the explanation for the malice, for the spite?
don't call me white, don't call me white
don't call me white, don't call me white
I wasn't brought here, I was born
circumcised, categorized, allegiance sworn
does this mean I have to take such shit
for being fair skinned? No!
I ain't a part of no conspiracy, i'm just you're average joe
don't call me white, don't call me white
don't call me white, don't call me white
represents everything I hate
the soap shoved in the mouth to cleanse the mind
the vast majority of sheep
a buttoned collar, starched and bleached
constricting veins, the blood flow to the brain slows
they're so fuckin ordinary white
don't call me white, don't call me white
don't call me white, don't call me white
oh, we're better off this way?
Oh, say what you're gonna say
so go ahead and label me an asshole
'cause I can
accept responsibility for what i've done
but not for who I am
don't call me white, don't call me white
don't call me white, don't call me white

Dresser drawers are filled with pocket change
Coupons cut, cigarettes smoked down to the butt,
Is this what dreams are made of!
Adding up subtracting down you find yourself sucking the rind
Dying degree, graying amie
Final payment made - had you forgot?
The rightful owner of one deluxe cemetery plot
Paisley satin lined how apprapoe
What a better way to go
Dying degree, graying amie
No more eating crumbs
When my pension finally comes
Your kids want eat mush anymore 'round me
Dying degree, graying amie

my father used to say
you sleep with dogs the next day
you'll wake in the bed scratching
those inevitable fleas
at ten years old
you listen to what you're told
but I never felt the itch
I never would
my mother had forbidden me
to waste away my life
I want you to have all the things
I could never buy you
so don't stop what i'd begun
you're my one my only son
follow what I say not what i've done
follow what I say not what i've done
shower, scrub, and shave
cleanly boys don't misbehave
follow what I say, not what i've done

He's just a man getting through life the best he can
He's a not a scientist, he programs a computer
Before that he sold cars to pay a student loan now he receives pity
From his family - his friends say how could he
Turn his back on on reason worshipping
A God finding truth through fear and mind control
He's just a man trying to explain how
He found the word of God could make his life seem less insane
So he shares what he's read, what he understands, it makes
sense to him, it makes perfect sense to him, in fact
He's never seen so clearly
Turned his back on free will - has he lost his mind?
He'd rather kneel down than take charge of his life
And he knows what people think, but it dosen't sway him
He can read the writings on the wall
'Cause he knows how people treat, how they treat each other
A sacrifice to benefit the all
Don't try to judge him, his theological ideas
His hopes may be false but his happiness is real
Don't try to judge him, he's just a man

Don't wanna chill, don't wanna sit
Don't wanna hear no hippy shit
Don't tell me I'm closing my mind
Don't wanna groove, don't wanna dig
Don't wanna spend the day naked
Don't like my music country fried
He's got a tie dyed Rancid shirt
He wears his birkenstocks to work
Is he a jerk? No! Just confused
Jeff don't wear regular shoes
Fat Mike I gotta let you know
It's not the tunes, it's their live show
And all the people you get to meet
Plenty of good vibes and decent drugs
Stinky people give you hugs
Walk around in your bare feet
He's got a tie dyed Rancid shirt
He wears his birkenstocks to work
Is he a jerk? No! Just confused
Jeff don't wear regular shoes

Breath ever soft
We wouldn't wanna break the eggs as we walk
Never alone, cautious, afraid
I hear the voice of reason on the p.a.
Leave it alone, follow the grain
We couldn't stop the irresistible force
Leave it the same, change with the leaves
Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the old
Leave it alone
DA NA NA NA NA NA NA
Breath, ever so slight
We couldn't take away your god given right
Leave it alone, heel and stay
Roll over and shake and beg for the bone
Leave it alone
DA NA NA NA NA NA NA

Possesions never meant anything to me
I'm not crazy (Cause I got none)
Well that's not true, I've got a bed and a guitar
And a dog named dog who pisses on my floor
That's right, I've got a floor
So what, so what, so what?
I've got pockets full of kleenex and lint and holes
Where everything imporatnt to me just seems to fall right down my leg and on the floor
My closest friend linoleum
Linoleum Supports my head, gives me something to believe
That's me on the beachside combing the sand
Metal meter in my hand
Sporting a pocket full of change
That's me on the street with a violin under my chin
Playing with a grin, singing gibberish
That's me on the back of the bus
That's me in the cell
That's me inside your head
That's me inside your head

lori meyers used to live upstairs
our parents had been friends for years
almost every afternoon we'd play forbidden games
at nine years old there's no such thing as shame
it wasn't recognition of her face, what
brought me back was a familiar mark
as it flashed across the screen. I
bought some magazines, some video taped scenes
incriminating act I felt that I could save her
who are you to tell me how to live my life?
You think I sell my body, I merely sell my time
I ain't no Cinderella, I ain't waiting for no prince
to save me in fact until just now I was doin' just fine
and on and on
I know what degradation feels like
I felt it on the floor at the factory
where I worked long before, I took control
now I answer to me
the 50k I make this year will go anywhere I please
where's the problem?

For You
My Heart is yearning
And how
I've loved you so
Its because of you
My dick is burning
Its dripping
on my toe

Even if it's easy to be free
What's your definition of freedom?
And who the fuck are you, anyway?
Who the fuck are they?
Who the fuck am I to say?
What the fuck is really going on?
How did the cat get so fat?
Why does the family die?
Do you care why?
'Cause there hasn't been a sign
Of anything gettin' better in the ghetto
People's fed up
But when they get up
You point your fuckin' finger
You racist, you bigot
But that's not the problem
Now is it?
It's all about the money
Political power is takin
Protecting the rich denying the poor
Yeah, they love to watch the war from the White House
And I wonder how can they sleep at night?
How can they sleep at night?
How did the cat get so fat?
