"Son Of A Bitch"

"Son Of A Bitch"



Mother couldn't love me
But that didn't stop me
From liking her
She was my mom
And i was no son of a bitch

Daddy was a drunk
A most unpleasant man
Asleep on the floor
Just imside the front door
With a smile underneath his red nose

The wrong look his way
Well that could really wreck his day
And believe me when i say
It would wreck your day too

Grandma took me in
Though times were pretty thin
Said i was no son of a bitch

Down on my knees
Begging god please

"Souljacker Pt. I"

"Souljacker Pt. I"



22 miles of hard road
33 years of tough luck
44 skulls buried in the ground
Crawling down through the muck
Aw yeah

Johnny don't like the teacher
Johnny don't like the school
One day johnny gonna do something
Show 'em he's nobody's fool

Sisters' brothers make better lovers
Family affair down under the covers
Trailer park of broken hearts
Won't let you leave until you're bleeding

Sally don't like her daddy
Sally don't like her friends

Waiting for it to end
Aw yeah

Sisters' brothers make better lovers
Family affair down under the covers

Rock

22 miles of hard road
33 years of tough luck
44 skulls buried in the ground
Crawling down through the muck
Aw yeah

"Souljacker Pt. II"

"Souljacker Pt. II"



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

"Spectacular Girl"

"Spectacular Girl"



She's got a life livin' in her heart
She's got these eyes, well, where do I start?
Like lookin' at the deep night sky
So many worlds inside her eyes
She's a spectacular girl

Part of the job of bein' her man
Is knowin' when to let go of her hand
Her kind of power, it can't be reigned in
To hold her back would be a sin
She's a spectacular girl

She sees the beauty in things we all miss
All good things are defined by her kiss
If you're feelin' like you can't believe
Well, then, how do you explain the miracle I see?
She's a spectacular girl, spectacular girl

Not a desire and not a need
Some things just happen 'cause they have to be
I'm gonna get there, I'm tellin' you, sir
I'm a man on a mission and I'm all about her
She's a spectacular girl, spectacular girl

Aw, yeah
My love

"Spunky"

"Spunky"



Spunky don't like her uniform
It never fit so good
Going back to the orphanage
And the place where her garage once stood

Well it's a free-for-all
Free-for-all, free-for-all
It's a free-for-all
You and me
And if you don't like what they are telling you
You can't teach a blind man to see
Well i can see

Spunky looks good in her bright red wig
Eating chocolate chip mint ice cream
A cat named lola with a violent past
Is balled-up asleep 'cross her knees

And it's a free-for-all
Free-for-all, free-for-all
It's a free-for-all
You and me
One day the world will be ready for you
And wonder how they didn't see

Spunky knows she can save the world
In her own little way
Turning in her old uniform
'cause you know it really didn't pay

'cause it's a free-for-all
Free-for-all, free-for-all
It's a free-for-all
You and me
I'll walk through the world with your name on my tongue
And your picture etched on my screen

"Standing At The Gate"

"Standing At The Gate"



So whatch'ya gonna do about me
I've been hanging 'round a while
Trading books and knowing glances
I thought i'd stick around
But this really ain't my style

So this ain't heaven on earth
Looks like we'll have to wait
But we are standing at the gate

I took a look inside your attic
And secret shelves and hidden rooms
It didn't scare me when i saw it
Your hidden attic is no temple of doom

And this ain't heaven on earth
Looks like we'll have to wait
But we are standing at the gate

So whatch'ya gonna do 'bout me
Put me on a secret shelf
I wanna change myself around
You know i'd do it
If i thought that it would help

"Stepmother"

"Stepmother"



Your stepmother hates my guts
But i don't really care
She don't like me comin' 'round
With my short greasy hair

She would be your best friend
If she had it her way
She would take all your best friends
And put them away

Your stepmother hates my guts
But i don't give a damn
She thinks i'm some kinda' scum
'cause i don't call her ma'am

She would be your best friend
If she had it her way
She would take all your best friends
And put them away

Your stepmother hates my guts
But i won't give up yet
I want you so goddamn much
But she sure is upset

Looking down again i knock
On the door
There she is
Looking down on me again

"Stick Together"

"Stick Together"



Thwarted again missing in the crowd
A friendly voice calling clear and loud
My big mistake, thinking that I knew
How to get by independent of you

The imatures, they have the chance
Quick to forget who brought 'em to the dance
Loyalty is paramount to me
It's very clear we make a winning team

We gotta stick together
That's right, we gotta stick together, that's right

Stay confident, doin' I'm okay
With anything you may do or you may say
We're always in quite good company
If I'm with you and you know you are with me

It's me and you, taking all now our comers
Watching it fall and nothing could be funner
The challenges only make us stronger
Outlast 'em all, forever maybe longer

We gotta stick together
That's right, we gotta stick together, that's right
We gotta stick together
That's right, we gotta stick together, that's right

Battle stations, gotta made the guns now
Everywhere you look and now they try to take us down

We gotta stick together
That's right, we gotta stick together, that's right
We gotta stick together

Honorable the only thing to do
You count on me 'cause I gotta count on you
I'm gonna pay up everything I owe
You just get ready, this is the real show

We gotta stick together
That's right, we gotta stick together, that's right
We gotta stick together
That's right, we gotta stick together, that's right

Let's stick together

"Strawberry Blonde"

"Strawberry Blonde"



There she goes down in my head
Saying things she never said
E.e. cummings coming soon
But she'll be reading on the moon

And i don't know why she's gone
I'd welcome her in my arms
But she'll always be strawberry blonde

There she goes back in my heart
Pulling cobwebs in the dark
The five o'clock comes 'round the bend
And so she goes off with a friend

And i don't know why she's gone
I'd welcome her in my arms
But she'll always be strawberry blonde

She wrote a letter to her sister
She said this time it's the end
She never knew how much i missed her
Around the bend

There she goes down in my head
Leaving cobwebs on my bed
E.e. cummings coming soon
But she'll be laughing on the moon

And i don't know why she's gone
I'd welcome her in my arms
But she'll always be strawberry blonde

"Suicide Life"

"Suicide Life"



You think you'll get under ol' monsieur's lid
And try to imagine all the things that he did
You don't know where i'm gonna go
You don't know where i'll go

I'll go none too bravely
Into the night
I'm so tired of living
The suicide life
That ain't no reason to live

Wake up in the night and think of all the years
Falling from the ceiling and covering your ears
You don't know how you're gonna get out
You don't know how you'll get out

I'll go none too bravely
Into the night
I'm so tired of living
The suicide life
That ain't no reason to live

Call up your best friend
And tell him a lie
You've got to be kidding
I'm not really high
I dont know where i'm gonna go
I don't know where i'll go

I'll go none too bravely
Into the night
I'm so tired of living
The suicide life
That ain't no reason to live
