"China Girl"

"China Girl"


I couldn't escape this feeling
With my China Girl
I'm just a wreck without
My little China Girl
I'd hear hearts beating
Loud as thunder
See the stars crashing


I'm a mess without
My China Girl
Wake up mornings, there's
No China Girl
I'd hear hearts beating
Loud as thunder
I'd see stars crashing down


I'd feel tragic
Like I was Marlon Brando
When I'd look at my China Girl
I could pretend that nothing
Really meant too much
When I'd look at my China Girl


I'd stumble into town
Just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
And plans for everyone
It's in the white of my eyes


My little China Girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you men who want to rule the world


And when I get excited
My little China Girl says,
"Oh Jimmy, just shut your mouth."
She says, "Shhhh..."

"Cock In My Pocket"

"Cock In My Pocket"


I got my cock in my pocket
And I'm reelin
Down the old highway
I got my cock in my pocket
And I'm reelin
Down the old highway
I'm gonna whip it on you honey
Taste your blood today
I got my cock in my pocket
And it's shovin up
Through my pants
I got my cock in my pocket
And it's shovin up
Through my pants
I just wanna fuck
This aint no romance
I got my cock in my pocket

"Cold Metal"

"Cold Metal"


Uh
I played tag in the auto graveyard
I looked up at the radio tower
Rag tent by the railroad tracks
Concrete poured over steel bridge
Pondered my fate
While they built the interstate

I'm a product of America
From the morgue to the prisons
Cold metal, when I start my band
Cold metal, in my garbage can
Cold metal, gets in my blood
And my attitude

Yeah, a huh

Threw my hide in an automobile
Heard a song called "Drive the wheel"
Truckers, trailers, tractors caught me workin'

This is the song of my heritage
From the bad to the Buddha
Cold metal, that's what it be
Cold metal, from sea to sea
Cold metal, it's how we win
And also how we sin
How we sin, how we sin, how we sin, how we sin

Cold metal, in the afternoon
Sounds lovely like a Hendrix tune
Cold metal, it's the father of beat
The mother of the street
Cold metal, it rolls on by
Cold metal, gonna raise it high
Cold metal, it'll even fly
Rust buckets in the sky
Cold metal, got to be
Skeleton of the free
Cold metal, it's gotta be
Better save a tree
Save a tree, save a tree, save a tree, save a tree
Yeah

"Corruption"

"Corruption"


From the drip drip drip of the teardrops
To the chink chink chink of the cash
To the end end end of the friendships
To the wack wack wack of the bash
Corruption corruption corruption
Rules my soul
Corruption corruption corruption
Rules my soul

From the tick tick tick of your time's up
To the yes yes yes of 'I'll sell'
From the fact fact fact of the souless
To the pact pact pact with hell
Corruption corruption corruption
Rules my soul
Corruption corruption corruption
Chills my bones
Corruption corruption corruption
Rules my soul
Corruption corruption corruption
Chills my bones

From the scream scream scream of the babies
To the retch retch retch of the youth
From the lie lie lie of the righteous
To the lost lost lost way I feel
Corruption corruption corruption
Rules my bones
Corruption corruption corruption
Chills my bones
Corruption corruption corruption
Rules my soul
Corruption corruption corruption
Rules my soul
Corruption
Corruption

Order in the court
Decision to abort
The monkey wants to speak
So speak, monkey speak
Speak monkey, speak
Speak monkey, speak
Speak monkey, speak

Everything leads to corruption
Everything leads to corruption
Corruption

"Cry For Love"

"Cry For Love"


Status seekers - I never cared
once I found out they never dared
to seize the world and shake it upside down
and every stinking bum should wear a crown

Sayin' I cry for love
till all the plates are broken
cry for love
until my eyes are soakin'
yeah cry for love
on every salmon mornig
cry for love
'cause imitation's boring
cry for love

bad tv that insults me freely
still i know what I'm dyin' to see
in searching for a meaningful embrace
sometimes my self-respect took second place

an' I cried for love
i did what my heart told me
cried for love
can't stand it
when they scold me
yeah i cried for love
on every salmon morning
yeah i cry for love
'cause imitation's boring
cry for love

Surfers ride for love and wipe out when it hits 'em
soldiers kill for love and nobody admits it
if you're cryin' for love well, that's ok don't sweat it
if you're cryin' for love then there's still a chance you'll get it
cry for love

"Curiosity"

"Curiosity"


Because of curiosity
All the Vandals had to see
The golden throne
Of Ancient Rome
And brought the city to its knees

Because of curiosity

Because of curiosity
I'm just riddled with anxiety
I'm the lowest level
As a matter of fact
I often dwell for days on this

But when I see your smiling face
I'm so disgraced
And if you're holding out on me
I get curious
As curious as I can be

Curious
Because of curiosity

Curiosity killed the cat
But satisfaction brought it back
In terms of this cat
As a matter of fact
I'll meet you at the old mouse hole
I'll meet you at the old mouse hole

When I see your smiling face
I'm so disgraced
If you're holding out on me
I get curious
As curious as I can be
Curious as I can be
Curious as I can be

Yeah, curiosity

"Dead Rock Star"
(feat. The Stooges)

"Dead Rock Star"
(feat. The Stooges)


They think that I've got the bread
They want to read my head
The position show his cool
Like football star in school

Someone to sell me
Someone to tell me
I'm a dead rock star
in a dead rock car
I'm a dead rock star

I'm so afraid of failing
I hang onto the railing
This cold hard graduation
Kills all infatuation
I took the hazing
They said "amazing"
I'm a dead rock star
in a dead rock car
I'm a dead rock star

I gathered awful knowledge
You cannot get in college
Would you like Cain or Abel
I'll bring them to the table

They try to rope me
They try to grope me
I'm a dead rock star
in a dead rock car
I'm a dead rock star
What can I hope for ?
What can I hope for ?
Nothing to live for
Nothing to live for
I'm a dead rock star
in a dead rock car
I'm a dead rock star

"Death Is Certain"

"Death Is Certain"


Death is the best
Better than all the rest
On the dutifull lies in the rock paradise
Losses and wear and the texture of age
Adds a truth to the heart
And a light to the face
It's good when you don't give as
Much of a fuck
As you did when the threats mount
To make you suck

A burst of rage
A lively cry
Emotions wide
Your death is certain for sure
My death is certain alright
But death is certain no cure
'Cause death is certain
'Cause death is certain so why?
Gotta diiiiiiiiie

A bone and a skull
In a conjugal hell
A mall full of gall
And the music jerks off
Pale and fate
At the table they sat
With their necks choking tight
In their collars dead white
Liquor and food 'till
They spin and explode
In a shower of crap
In America's lap

A pliceman's numb
A lazy bum
Emotions come
'Cause death is certain it's sure
'Cause death is certain it's pure
'Cause death is certain no cure
'Cause death is certain
'Cause death is certain that's why
Gotta die

Alright
Alright
Well, alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright

A beast with legs
A kid who's numb
A lazy bum
Your death is certain it's sure
'Cause death is certain it's pure
'Cause death is certain no cure
'Cause death is certain

"Dog Food"

"Dog Food"


I'm hanging around that same old scene
My girlfriend Betsy she's just fourteen
There's nothing better for me to do
I'm living on dog food

Dog food is so good for you
It makes you strong and clever too
Dog food is a current craze
Eat some every day

I chew up my "Sunday Mirror"
I read about the rich I fear
Dog food is my whole life
Dog food composes my wife

Yum yum yum - Woof woof woof - Arf arf
