"The Man I Killed"

"The Man I Killed"



When they tightly strap me in, give me lethal injection,
Just a few moments to live, no remorse for what I did,
It was for the betterment of man, I gave the utmost sacrifice,
Before more damage could be done I took his life.

There was a split second of silence when the dart punctured the skin,
Beady eyes rolled back in head, body dropped from the poison,
They could incapacitate me, but could not erase my sneer,
I heard a thousand people screaming, while three billion others cheered,
He was gone, and I would soon be...

Executed by the state, all appeals would be in vain,
I was not criminally insane, in fact, I was found to be,
An otherwise caring and respectable member of society,
A minor threat, except for that one man I killed.

As the sedatives take effect, I just smile and close my eyes,
There's a priest kneeling next to me, he asks me if I realize,
I was going straight to hell, and he thought that I should know,
That the man I killed's replacement planned this whole scenario,
And what I did had no significance at all.

"The Marxist Brothers"

"The Marxist Brothers"



We meet in underground parking lots
And late night in coffee shops
With voices low unless we’re drunk
We've got hats and cop sunglasses
We question all that is wrong
We discuss conspiracy
Are we enemies of the state?
Or idealist bourgeoisie?

I’ll get this one, put it on my card
I get frequent flyer mileage
And a booklet of upgrades
So next time I visit the third world
I won’t have to fly second class
The people's revolution is gonna be a podcast

We took the bus to the anarchist book fair
I left the hybrid at home
I scored an extremely rare signed copy of the communist manifesto
We protested the G8, got maced by female police
In hot black uniforms and boots
I got one’s e-mail address

Still I’m waiting to see if my bid on eBay was enough
To get "Today’s Empires Are Tomorrow’s Ashes" on soviet red vinyl
It’s going on the wall next to "Tubthumper" and "The Battle Of Los Angeles"
Of Los Angeles

"The Moron Brothers"

"The Moron Brothers"



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

They'll take your beer, they'll take your drugs
Leave with you microscopic bugs
Their company is something you won't miss
When your icetrays 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 are the itch you can't scratch

Do da do do do do,
Do da do do do do....

They'll ink your face, tape your eyelids closed
Tabasco's in your mouth,
There's mustard up your nose
When your head is shaved you'll think the worst has passed
Just try to move your leg
They've 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 sister

"The Plan"

"The Plan"



Call it libertarian, cause we do as we please
Don't need fear, or force or farce to know morality
Cuz morals aren't substance you can shove in someone's ear
They're basically a bi-product of a mind thinking clear

The plan, the plan

It's nothing like the bible, there's no lesson to be learned
It ain't the 10 commandments, cause nothings written in stone
It has to do with freedom and personal liberty
I don't fuck with you don't fuck with me

The blueprints of a better world
Were written on a postage stamp
No one bothered to read the front
Stick out their tongue to lick the back

The plan, the plan, the plan, the plan

If you're not part of the cure
You're part of the disease
Father time will tell us who concedes

The blueprints of a better world
Disguise and revealed as fortunes
10,000 Chinese Restaurant
Customers prefer not to read it
when they're taught
Don't think, just eat it
A turning point we call the plan

"The Punk Song"

"The Punk Song"



Am I supposed to do things right? No!
I don't have the time
This is how I live my life
I haven't got much pride
And it's ok if I live like a slob
'Cause this is my life,
and I will waste it if I want,
"A wasted life ain't no crime"

"The Quitter"

"The Quitter"



Be a winner not a problem admitter un quit
(I quit, I'm shit)
Better to be a hepper than a healthy 12 stepper, forfeit
(I'm shit)
You wanna keep it goin’ but you don’t know how
Everyone at meetings gets a Löwenbräu
You quit (I quit)
You’re shit (I’m shit)
You’re a quitter (I’m a quitter)
And no one likes you

Start a pattern of behavior; I see no reason to stop.
(Don't stop, don't drop)
You got a habit, got to have it ’til it’s finished don’t drop
(Don't drop)
The Charlie Chan’s chopped, Pabst pitcher been poured
You got a spare kidney and your liver looks bored
So stop (With friends)
fucking (like you)
around (I’m fucked)
You’re buying the next round

“C’mon you gonna Quit?
You gonna walk away and Quit?
Mark my words:
If you ever wanna be a winner
You're gonna quit talking about quitting
You got that?”

You wanna be a Thompson, Hemingway, Bukowski
Banging Bill Burroughs lived to 83
You’re fa- (You're a)
-mous and (fucking)
you’re rich (dickhead)
quit acting like a bitch

And no one likes you!

"The Separation Of Church And Skate"

"The Separation Of Church And Skate"


[Father:] Hey Kids!
[Kids:] Hey Dad!
[Father:] What'da want to do today?
[Kids:] We don't know.
[Father:] Wanna go to the matinee?
[Kids:] NO!
[Father:] Wanna go to the Amusement Park?
[Kids:] NO!
[Father:] Wanna go to the punk rock show?
[Kids:] Yeah! Let's go to the punk rock show!

Lost in a sea of combat boots,
Flush the bouncers with wasted youth
When did punk rock become so safe?
When did the scene become a joke?
The kids who used to live for beer and speed
Now want their fries and coke
Cursing and flipping birds are not allowed,
In fact let's keep noise levels down

Must separate the church and skate!

Why don't we put pads on the kids?
Helmets, head gear and mouth pieces!
Then we could pad the floor and walls,
Put cameras inside bathroom stalls
We make sure only nice bands play,
Make every show a matinee
Teach kids to be all they can be,
And we could sing my country tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty

When did punk rock become so safe?
I know it wasn't Duane or Fletcher,
Who put up the barricades
Like a stake in the heart,
Somehow we got driven apart

[Solo]

I want conflict! I want dissent!
I want the scene to represent
Our hatred of authority,
Our fight against complacency
Stop singing songs 'bout girls and love!
You killed the owl! You freed the dove!
Confrontation and politics
Replaced with harmonies and shticks
When did punk rock become so tame?
These fucking bands all sound the same
We want our fights we want our thugs!
We want our burns we want our drugs!
Where is the violent apathy?!
These fucking records are rated G!

When did punk rock become so safe?!

"The Shortest Pier"
(originally by Tony Sly)

"The Shortest Pier"
(originally by Tony Sly)



Put my eyes
Where I can see
Where the soul
Used to be
I feel the walls
Closing in on me

Shut my mouth
I take it back
It's no way
For us to act
I missed the boat
But somehow sailed away

But that's okay
I'll have a talk
With this dive bar
On a long walk
Along the shortest pier
And watch it disappear

There's a hole
In my mind
Where the sun
Used to shine
Memories
In black and white

Cut me off
I've had enough
Infect the wound
And sew me up
No more words
Hmm, hmm, hmm

But that's okay
I'll have a talk
With this dive bar
On a long walk
Along the shortest pier
And watch it disappear
Along the shortest pier
And watch it disappear
