Hazing for Success (pork rind confidential)
Good grooming requires
Time honored methods
Of ritual humiliation and torture
Wanna play with the big boys?
Ya gotta be mean
And bow to the Masonic fez
Secret society
By invitation only
Fraternal order
Of the skull and bones
Just like your Daddy
It's your turn, George
We think you might belong
in our animal house
You're picked for the skull and bones
C'mon down
And strip for the skull and bones
C'mon down
And show us what you're made of, George
C'mon down
Maybe you can be one of us
While our families make laws
On what not to do
We do it all
inside the lodge
Brick building with no windows
Where Jolly Rogers romp
In the heart of the campus
Of green green Yale
Inside we possess
Nazi memorabillia
And the stolen skull of Geronimo
Apaches tried
to get it back
We switched and gave them someone elses
Used cranium instead
Ha!
Pancho Villa's might be lying
Around here too
We brothers have no secrets
We lie to everyone else
So tell your sexual history
And what you'd do to which
Sorority girls
When we've all reached Washington
To plunder for the skull and bones
C'mon down
Mud wrestle with the skull and bones
C'mon down
Show us everything you're made of, George
Get down
Only then will you be one of us
The world is our casino
We inherit the broth
Not much left to conquer or crave
We don't already got
I snuck into the study
of the Dad I barely know
Watched IIsa,She-Wolf of the SS on his video
Knew then old boy networks of power
Was the life for me
Nothing we cause touches us
'Cept when we lose money
For kicks we kick around the globe
Start a war if we're going broke
Supply both sides, watch 'em choke
Blood of the WASP runs thick as oil
Yo ho ho ho, Yo ho ho ho
ho ho ho, ho ho ho
Shut up! Shut up!
I am not a wimp
I aint no wimp
Read my lips...
That's it, George
It's your turn, George
You know the rules
You know the rules
Down with your pants
Unzip your fly
Let's all have a look
at the old school tie
We'll circle jerk
Into a coffin
But you gotta go first, George
We want to watch
That's it, George
Harder, George
More, George
Pump, George
You're gonna cum, George
All over the third reich memorabillia
Squirt some icing
On Geronimo and Pancho over there
Yeah! George...ah...ah...ah...wheeeeee!!
That's it George
We knew you had it in you
Smile that sick smile again, George
We got you some pork rinds
Brocolli-flavored, your favorite
Sticky though it may be
No we know
You've got what it takes
To lead...
Human Cyst
Something's growing inside me
Burning deep under my skin
Swollen with nowhere to go
Infection must be drained
All I do is touch it
And sets off so much pain
Hold on
Hold on
Puss where my warm blood should be
Gotta slice and squeeze it free
More I wait, worse it will be
I'm living with a human cyst
You move in
Say you love me
Let's make our dreams come true
Rent and phone bills piling up
But you cry when I ask you
Fancy job downtown-
Why is it you're always broke?
Hold on
Hold on
Where my best friend used to be
One I love is using me
Fear going back to being lonely
But I'm living with a human cyst
Gotta cut out the cancer
But I fear the pain
When I lance the boil
The pain get's even worse
Oh, by the way
Your diary
Says a slick Ivy league penis
Has a key to this place:
"Yeah we fuck our brains out
When you're away
Shower together and he scrubs away
In all those places I told you
Touch only me
5 years apart
I think you're too old
When you see how much I stole
From you and our friends as well
Ha, Ha, Ha, I'm using you
I want palimony too!"
Greed
Disease

HUMAN CYST
The Man with the Corkscrew Eyes
The man with the corkscrew eyes
Sees through walls
Sees through lies
Always knows
Who's using who
Who not to trust
And what they'll do
He alone
Sees all
For what it's worth
And there lies the pain
The man with the corkscrew eyes
Sees through everyone
Stays on Guard
Never at home
Anywhere
Always wants
To be somewhere else
The real thing
Without the games
Does this exist
Or is that too much to ask?
So alone
Thinks for himself
The load is heavy
And there lies the pain
My brain radar's
Working all the time
Can't turn it off
It's always on
When I least expect it
A spark, a fire
I feel inspired
I feel inspired!!
These crazy ideas
Crawl in my mind
They light me up
I'm whole again
Keep me awake
Won't let me rest
Rather toss and turn
Than go through my life asleep
Free alone
Never bored
I am...Alive
Alive
Alive
Alive-O!
Fireball
Pinball in the pocket
Fate is not our own
Something has to switch the machine on
Drop a quarter in
You're popped up from below
Outside the glass
Spring's pulled back
Ready or not here you go
FIRE!
You're on the field
Bumper to bumper
Wall to wall
Lights go on
Bells go off
Flipped around
At the whim of unseen hands
Chorus:
Riding the fireball
How long will it last
Each force
Decides where the other goes
And they're all out of control
Some people know they've got it
Other people don't
Aint born with it
It takes both work and luck
Reach for strands of meaning
They all fly by so fast
Like picking branches from a train
It all slips through my hand
Chorus:
Riding a fireball
How long will it last
Trying to balance
On a floor always tilting down
Life roars by in such
A whirl of energy
Confidence, direction, speed
Knock down targets, rack up points
Try not to fall back down that hole
Time stops
Look around
Out there with you
Your more powerful twin
The one whom seems to be everything
You though you could never be
It's now or never
To knock 'em down
And sort of be free
You're on a roll now...GO!
Collide
Action, equal reaction
Surprise
Big obstacles aren't so much bigger after all
One chance
Leads to another and another
One shot
Moght aim you
Straight through the gates
To wake the Gods
Release Wotan
Odin too
Extra balls
Allies, chances
Then one by one they vanish
Circumstances
Every day
Rocket fuel
Or they get in the way
On your own
Trying not to fall
With no means of but you
Chorus:
Riding the fireball
Gotta make it last
Way beyond
What you thought your limits were
Can almost grab the reins and use
That energy
Thrust and thwack and ricochet
One wrong shot your, you're helplessly
Rolling back down towards that hole
Game over
Plopped in the dark
At least I have time
To sort through all these flashes in my mind
Swine Flu
You know what they say
" 'bout picking up a stray"
It could turn out to be swine flu
Dumped by the road
Why don't you take me home
And you have your very own swine flu
Swine Flu
Swine Flu
Soon all the time
You hear a familiar noise
The piercing whining howl of swine flu
It never goes away
It bugs you every day
You never hear the end of swine flu
Give me food
Give me love
And when you do
I'll whine some more
Letme in, let me out
Only you'd keep me around
Plunk a dead rat on the floor
Aren't you proud of me? Can I lick you now?
Poison oak caked in my fur
For me to brush against your skin
Swine Flu
Swine Flu
Swine Flu
You all are insane
To shelter, feed and put up with me
My self-esteem's so bad
My grateful gift to you
Is yowl, yowl, yowl, yowl, yowl
yowl, yowl, yowl, yowl, yowl
'Til you're down to my level
Swine Flu
Swine Flu
My childhood was bad
And this is my revenge
You'll never hear the end of swine flu
Swine Flu
Swine Flu
Swine Flu
Calcutta-A-Go-Go
Two skeletons embrace
Atop a human brain
Revolving sunset glare
Frosts the folds
They stretch across the wrinkles
Like a nude Marilyn Monroe
Clatter thier teeth
And take a bite of the soil
Rock back and forth
Screaming at the sky
Where is our God?
We wanna love you but why?
Slices of our mind
Point to different paths
Only one might grant a taste
Of eternal peace
Dip your toe in the ice
Scratch your head, find lice
Crawling out from your fingernail
Calcutta-A-Go-Go
Transfixed as the world turns
More and more like Calcutta
Trampling heat of life in a shrinking cage
More and more crowded into less
Writing drips from the walls
So thin they wilt
With the next monsoon
Who will survive?
The people or the snakes?
The sharks? The roaches?
Or the rats?
Who are we to tell ourselves
That the pinnacle
Of evolution
Is the human race
Trickling diwn through your gums
Nothing tastes quite right
I wave my antennae
Calcutta-A-Go-Go
Eye to eye
Kali Yuga
Feeding on a host who gave up to soon
Let's ride the falling stars
To the ruins of the old gold mine
Rub the rust and splinters into our wounds
Roll and grind on the old slag heap
At the edge of the shafts of darkness
That plunge so far below
Drop a rock down
There's no splash
Silence...
No dust, no clues, no ash
Echo back
Spellbound jaws 'neath the balcony
Possum tailed from the Lemming tree
Plug-in Evita waves
And flashes a peroxide smile-
Goodbye
Follow hope upstream
As we're swept downstream
Godot fell asleep at the wheel somewhere
Calcutta-A-Go-Go
Oh oh oh
Our heads are in the sand at high noon
Take me back or I'll drown our dog (Headlines)
"Take me back or I'll drown our dog."
Love those headlines
Love those headlines
"CIA is breeding slaves"
Need those headlines
Crave those headlines
"Designer beef"
"Surfing for Christ"
"Horse molester must be stopped"
"Police kill man to stop suicide"
"City burns, Party goes on"
Headlines-I wanna hear some
Good News-Even if it's a lie
Scandal-For me to gaze on
Entertain me tonight
"Happy day ends in death"
Love those headlines
Need those headlines
"Pollution signals oppurtunity"
Need those headlines
Crave those headlines
"Viruses from AIDS lab sold"
"Easter Bunny arrest shocks children
at mall"
"April slated as Child Abuse Month"
"Donate blood and win prizes"
Hey! what's your favorite cartoon?
Mine's the Prime Time News
Nightline, Twin Peaks, or the Simpsons
Are all about as real as...
Headlines-We all believe
Good News-What we wanna believe
Why let- truth get in the way
of a good story
Spin Control
Stress Control
Image Doctors
Photo ops
So much goes in
And comes right back out
Of my mind
"Vegatarian terrorists"
"Autopsies of the rich and famous"
Reenact a crime
It's real enough for me...
"A hopping mad Madonna stormed out of a
Hollywood beauty parlor-after discovering
the staff was selling her toenail clippings"
"Used to be millions of mummies before the
Egyptian railroads bought them by the ton and
used them for locomotive fuel"
"Motorcycle courier John Orchard was fined
$400 after 50,000 hypodermic needles fell
from his cycle on a busy highway and punc-
tured the tires on 141 cars"
"two weeks later, While they were eating ham-
burgers at a drive-in, Jim-and I just love this
part-put an onion ring on Sandy's finger and
asked her to marry him"
Hey!
This is how life should be
So I'll pretend it is
Happy news
For Happy people
With Happy problems
Headlines-tell a person something
Good news-Long enough they'll believe
Anything-What they think is real
Instead of what they see
Meathook up my Rectum
The meathook of Randall Terry
Plowed up my rectum
Agh!
The snout of Jesse Helms
Fouling everything I read
Agh!
Gored by the PMRC
Parental advisory
Clean white songs for mommy
Or you're banned in the U.S.A.
Agh!
Such a pain in the ass
A big fist of cement
With Joe McCarthy's name attached
A lair of white bread worms
Gnaws my spine
Is that a cattle prod in your pocket
Or are you just glad to see me?
Agh!
Desires tied in knots of pain
Tighter, tighter, going insane
Agh!
Afraid to think
Afraid to screw
I hear batwings in our bedroom
Voila! There they are-
Bloodsuckers for decency
Vampires on the take
World's fattest rattlesnakes
Moving closer to the kill
Where have I seen those eyes?
I hate their God
And it hates me
A cop up in heaven
Raining Holy-Roller hell on earth
One by one fish hooks creep in
Five year mission to get under your skin
Wrap around your brain and stem
Pull your soul apart from within
Inside
Inside
They bite my mind
Bite my mind
Bite my mind
Bite my mind
Out of the closet
Into the fire
Zero tolerance for life
Will I ever feel free
To be free...?
Turn off the Respirator
Hear me now
Hear me plea
I've led a pretty good life
No time
To dwell
On why it's gotta end this way
My head throbs
My bowels burn
Bedsore sweat
I can't move
IV spikes
Plastic tubes
Cancer in the terminal ward
Kept alive
By sick machines
Doctors know
I aint got a chance
Wanna see our home
One last time
But, it's too late
And our savings are gone
I love you all
I'm so sorry
But someone's gotta pull the plug
Turn off the respirator
Turn it off. It's time to go
Turn off the respirator
Turn it off
And let me die in peace
I love you
I love you
I love each and every one of you
Goodbye my love
Don't forget I'll love you always
Help me
Help me
Lock the door
Make sure the doctor's away
Pull the plug
Pull it now
Pull the plug
And we all hold hands
I love you
I love you
We had a good life together
Pull the plug
Pull it fast
I can't take this pain anymore
Turn off the respirator
Turn it off
Let me die in peace
Turn off the respirator
If the nurse comes running
Barricade the door
Time to go
Time to die
One last kiss
And then goodbye
One last hug
Last embrace
Clasp our hands For good times' sake
All the things we did together
All the ups and downs we had
Could be better
Could be worse
Now they're all snapshots
In my mind
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
Take care of yourself
Take care of the kids
Take care of the cats
And all those things
Have a good life
I wish I was there
It's important to me
You keep yourself well
Pull through
Go on
Pull through
Don't give up
Keep trying
Keep going
Take care
I'm counting on you
I love you
I love you
I love all of you
Please believe it
Don't ever forget it
I love you
I love you
I love you
Goodbye
