I never wanted to be President 'cause it's nothin' but an ego trip, yeah I didn't want your education 'cause it's nothin' but a pile of shit you bore me to death so shut up for God's sake
stop readin' me the riot act while my brains are still intact you say it's rainng, but you're pissin' down my back so stop readin' me the riot act
I couldn't listen to a word you said this goin' nowhere thing is wearin' thin when your sex, your drug, and your vaild vic' is just the spit I wipe off my chin I'd rather go nowhere than not know where it's at
I never wanted to be President 'cause it's nothin' but an ego trip, yeah I didn't want your education 'cause it's nothin' but a pile of shit you bore me to death so shut up for God's sake
Jesus knows my story, he knows the position that I'm in A hooker knows the feeling to get fucked the way I've been Turn my insides out; your mouth drank my water
*You look at me like I'm subhuman You talk to me like I'm subhuman You're treating me like I'm subhuman You're jumping into the subhuman race
Brothers hear my story, but don't you take no pity out on me A soldier knows the feeling to get pushed out in a field Taking liberties; burned by your dictation
Give me a minute 'cause I'm wrapped in superstiton Pour me a chemical to take away the edge Don't make up anything that's breaking all your fingers Just slap around a bit of what it takes to pledges
Carry out another stone as a slave Ask general-know-it-all "Who's juggling the earth?" Tease all the natives that will walk across your grave And shove aside your nation all for what it's worth
*Beat yourself blind (x6) An open eyes and a closed mind
Look at the suit in suspended animation A faded outline that used be a man A piece of paper that's fallen out a window Has got a better chance to know where it will land
*Repeat
To bleed in vain, to bleed in vain Under my eyes are painted skies
Down at the boneyard, they're diggin' up the relics Handfuls of parasites thrown into machines I got the phone call they're tearin' down the mission The zombies had a ball, but don't know what it means
Is there a problem? The laugh of the rich man Has got you crying poor Are you as heavy as hell in a handbag Or just a virgin whore? If the weight of the world is on your shoulders Then carry it for a day Do you cry for peace or peace of mind Is reality in the way?
Enter the martyr out through the in door The savior has arrived? Is all your anger force of habit And keeping you alive? An empty shotgun shooting your mouth off Something's on your mind The cheap messiah of persecution Is alive and doing fine
I won't leave if you stay, I don't buy what you say If you're a new God let me see a miracle I won't leave if you stay, I don't buy what you say I can't say that you're a fool, but if you're a new God let me see a miracle.
Play the fence, one way you've gonna fall Sometimes I don't know who you are at all Your opinion is something that you've got inside But I see the loyalty has up and died
Your skeletons My skeletons Life is only getting shorter
You can be my enemy and I don't care Keep throwin' stones at yourself
Stories run in circles that have no end I hit on luck, then you bum me out again There's a way that you keep the truth in check Scratch the surface and treat it like a broken neck
Keep the peace when face to face with the scene Got a hunch that ain't what you really mean Weather's fair. does that change where you stand? My back is turned and the knife is in your hand
*Your genocide My genocide Life is only getting shorter
You can be my enemy and I don't care Keep throwin' stones at yourself You can be my enemy and I don't care You try to hard and I can tell
You and I together in our lives, Sacred ties would never fray Then why can I let myself tell lies And watch you die every day
I think back to the times when dreams were what mattered Tough talking youth naivete You said you'd never let me down But the horse stampedes and rages in the name of desperation
Is it all just wasted time Can you look at yourself when you think of what you left behind Is it all just wasted time Can you live with yourself when you think of what you left behind
Paranoid delusions they haunt you Where's my friend I used to know He's all alone. He's buried deep within a carcass searching for a soul
Can you feel me inside your heart as it's bleeding Why can't you believe you can be loved I hear you scream in agony And the horse stampedes and rages in the name of desperation
Is it all just wasted time Can you look at yourself when you think of what you left behind Is it all just wasted time Can you live with yourself when you think of what you left behind
You said you never let me down But the horse stampedes, it rages in the name of desperation
Is it all just wasted time Can you look at yourself when you think of what you left behind Is it all just wasted time Can you live with yourself when you think of what you left behind
The sun will rise again The earth will turn to sand Creation's colors seem to fade to grey And you'll see the sickly hands of time will write your final rhyme And end a memory
We stand accused but you lie Varicose-veined finger prejudiced evil mind The young get stronger free living fast But you're a sapsucker. You ain't gonna last
Your twisted mouths feed the minds of babies Taught from birth it's crime that pays One man's fortune is another man's pain But that's how you play the game
CHORUS I ain't the child of your disgrace You're mudkickin' into my face I've healed the wounds, been crucified Mudkicker kick Ha! Here's mud in your eye
Ladies and gentlemen and members of the jury All rise, 'cause here comes the boss He's your big brother the silver tongued doublecross His collar starched white, big black briefcase held tight It holds the power to your demise
The corporation blue sedan Behind the wheel Mr. Business man He thinks he's got the upper hand But he misunderstands
CHORUS
Your prestige is clear as day But I can scrape the sewer bilge and see the same The young get stronger, free living fast But your a sapsucker you ain't gonna last
CHORUS
Mudkicker kick, kickin' me down Mudkicker kickin' me all around Mudkicker kick, kickin' me down Mudkicker kick,
Mudkicker kick, kickin' me down Mudkicker kickin' me all around I said, Mudkicker kick, kickin' me down Mudkicker kick, I don't fuck around, no
In a darkened room beyond the reach of God's faith Lies the wounded, the shattered remains of love betrayed And the innocence of a child is bought and sold in the name of the damned The rage of the angels left silent and cold
Forgive me please for I know not what I do How can I keep inside the hurt I know is true
CHORUS Tell me when the kiss of love becomes a lie That bears the scar of sin too deep to hide behind this fear of running unto you Please let there be light in a darkened room
All the precious times have been put to rest again And the smile of the dawn brings tainted lust singing my requiem Can I face the day when I'm tortured in my trust And watch it crystallize while my salvation it crumbles to dust
Why can't I steer the ship before it hits the storm I've fallen to the sea but still I swim for shore
Zoned out afternoon Let's catch "who's on top of who" Tell it like it is 'cause it isn't anyway Much to my surprise I caught it right between the thighs My sweet little sister was layin' me away
My jaw dropped dead to the table She put my cool in shock Crack kills and blood spills baby But psychos, dykes and transvestites Are on the choppin' block
CHORUS Oh no, I saw my baby on the creepshow Out on, spillin' my guts on the news Oh no, I caught my woman on the creepshow Hit me with a shovel 'cause I can't believe that I dug you
She filled my boots with lead was it something that I said A picture paints a thousand ugly words Baby's acting tough check out my fisticuffs That's just what she deserves
I can't flip from the station Can't unplug what's done Her six-foot-deep temptation She nicked my shin, and then kicked me in, And then she buried me for fun
CHORUS
My jaw dropped dead to the table She put my cool in shock Crack kills and blood spills baby But psychos, dykes and transvestites Are on the choppin' block
Turn on the TV, 'cause I got nowhere to go Seems that there's a little trouble down in Mexico A 13-year-old boy robs a store so he can eat And they got him doing time while killers walk the streets
A hungry politician is the wolf that's at the door Hell-bent on submission and feedin' on the poor We could stare into the sun if we would open up our eyes But we paint ourselves into a corner colored in white lies
Busted on the rockpile, getting dusted in the heat Shackled to the system, and draggin' my feet
CHORUS I'm riding on a breakdown Another whiteknuckled shakedown Feels like I'm livin' on a chain gang I'm riding on a breakdown A suicidal shakedown Feels like I'm on a chain gang
A con man's intuition can wash your sins away Send your contribution and he'll save your soul today What can he know, has he been through hell and back He takes the cash and drives it home in a brand new Cadillac
Spitting at the guard dog, burning in his wicked deal Screamin' down the railroad with no one at the wheel
CHORUS
Faith healin' superstition Cold-blooded criminal mind Getting off on high position Hey brother can you spare a dime To get me off this slaughter line
Suzi got an Uzi what a beautiful bride That's where the trouble began Will there be any objection or a bloody resurrection? It's only up to Suzanne A load of ammunition in her hand
CHORUS
She had 'em laughin' in the aisles Venus Dee in the critical file She wasn't there to pray The killing joke had 'em laughin' all the way
All the way, all the way to beggar's day She vowed to take 'em any way she can All the way, all the way to beggar's day Her jealous claim to fame has come Now, all you beggars pay
Adam's in the chapel and he's swallowing his apple Wearing out his ball and chain But things were gettin' shady when the honorable maidy Broke out the forty caliber rain No no no no no no no no
Check out Clementine cleanin' needles in her wine Face down in her one-eyed world with her brain-dead valentine She'll be your zombie, your livin' dead Her sweet corruption; it's gonna make you, gonna break you Ohh yeah, she said...
CHORUS Haunt my house of pain and feel my psycho love We'll shine and pray for rain to heal my psycho love
Legs at ten and two, chain her down, that's what you do King Tut and snake- eyed slut in the pink but screamin' blue I'll taste you crazy, you smell insane I'm just another ghost inside your spirits hall of fame
CHORUS
As the warm smooth soul chases through the cold silence of a body A body of touch not feel One question, is she a stone in the devil's garden Or a speck in an angel's dust? Ashes to ashes and lust to lust
She'll teach you true love watchin' you turn blue love She'll wrap you in a chokehold and suck your spirit dry
She caught the melting sky It burned but still the winter passes by and by to the other side
A slow parade of wind that blows through trees that wilted with the season's children
Are we saved by the words of bastard saints Do we live in fear or faith Tell me now who's behind the rain
A maze of tangled grace The symptoms of 'for real' are crumbling from embrace But still we chase the shadows of belief And new religion clouds our visions of the roots of our souls
Are we ashamed of our own fate Or play the fool for our own sake Tell me who's behind the rain
What do we need, where do we go When we get where we don't know Why should we doubt the virgin white of fallen snow When faith's our shelter from the cold
Quicksand Jesus I'm so far away without you
Quicksand Jesus I need you Quicksand Jesus I believe you Quicksand Jesus I'm so far away
I've been convicted with and without reason Tarred and feathered like a piper on a killing spree And felt the anger of generations And been a target for the cheap shots of authority
So you think you cut me down to size Well there's something you should realize It's gonna take more than a break in the law To make me smile pretty for the wreckin' ball
CHORUS Won't beg, won't bleed The end of sacrifice is a threat to society Hard line, you'll see Once you've made a mark, you've made a threat to society
I wasn't put here to be treated Like some disease you hoped would go away if left alone You can sweep me under the carpet But I'll still infect your need to use me as a steppin' stone
So you think you cut me down to size Well there's something you should realize It's gonna take more than a break in the law To make me smile pretty for the wreckin' ball
CHORUS
So you think you cut me down to size Well there's something you should realize It's gonna take more than a break in the law To make me smile pretty for the wreckin' ball
Feelin' like we're ready to kick tonight No hesitatin', bodies aching Lookin' for some action, satisfaction alright
Chargin' vein pace as active as one hundred solod proof Megaton leviathan load ready to hit the roof
You better watch out and hold on tight We're headin' your way like dynamite
Deliverin' the goods
Oh, we don't pull no punches We alm where the crunch is Bound to do the most damage to your brain
If you're lookin' for it mellow You're nothin' more than yellow Gonna do it again and again We'll beat you to submission So you might learn your lesson 'Cuz there ain't nobody here to defend ya
Faster, higher Till it seems that we're gonna break
Shootin', further Givin' more than you're ever gonna take
Leavin', your heads Crashed out on the floor
Beggin' for mercy Be careful or we'll do it some more
You better watch out and hold on tight We're headin' your way like dynamite
You got me forced to crack my lids in two I'm still stuck inside the rubber room I gotta punch the clock that leads the blind I'm just another gear in the assembly line-oh no the noose gets tighter around my throat But I ain't at hte end of my rope 'cause I won't be the one left behind Can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind Tear down the rat racial slime Can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind Get it? A routine injection, a lethal dose But my day in the sun ain't even close There's no need to waste your prayers on me You better mark my word 'cause I'm history Yes indeed You might beg for mercy to get by But I'd rather tear this yhorn from my side I won't be the one left behind You can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind Tear down thw rat racial slime You can't be king fo the world If you're slave to the grind They swallowed their daggers by turning their trick They tore my intentions apart brick by brick I'm sick of the jive You talk verbal insecticide They swallowed their daggers by turning their trick They tore my intention apart brick by brick I'm sick of the jive You talk verbal insecticide I won't be the one left behind You can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind Tear down the rat racial slime You can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind I said slave to the grind Slave to the grind Slave to the grind
