Dystopia - Backstabber

lying bastards
decieving fuckers
you are a curse
violation
kicked in the head
when i hurt the worse
my body boils with
both anger and confusion
thorazine is such
a bitch to endure
i wanna rip your
fucking head off
you desecrate
all that i pure
stab me in the back
enemy
and to think
i fucking trusted you
you never cared
like a fucking doormat
you wiped your feet
on my dignity
so what
you caught me
when i was down
i must have been blind
to think your actions
constituted any love
liar
apologise till your
throat is sore
youre not sorry
cover your tracks
like you did before
no not any more
the drugs im taking
dont calm me anymore
i sit in angry depression
im worse off
than i was before
you fucking pig
i dont forgive
i dont forget
my minds set
i hope youre proud of
what youve done to me
you never fucking cared
backstabber
are to me in many forms
my best friend
hitler. jesus christ. the law
fuck all you cunts
you shat on me
i hope it happens to you
maybe youll understand
how fucked it really feels

(I dont think the lyrics really work w/o Dinos vocals.)

The Question Answered by William Blake

What is it men in women do require?
The lineaments of Gratified Desire.

[Rococo Modem Basilisk]

DEVO has some pretty deep lyrics, amusingly.

'Freedom of Choice'

a victim of collision on the open sea
nobody ever said that life was free
sank, swam, go down with the ship
but use your freedom of choice

i'll say it again in the land of the free
use your freedom of choice
your freedom of choice

in ancient rome there was a poem
about a dog who found two bones
he picked at one
he licked the other
he went in circles
he dropped dead

freedom of choice
is what you got
freedom of choice!

then if you got it you don't want it
seems to be the rule of thumb
don't be tricked by what you see
you got two ways to go

i'll say it again in the land of the free
use your freedom of choice
freedom of choice

freedom of choice
is what you got
freedom of choice!

in ancient rome
there was a poem
about a dog
who found two bones
he picked at one
he licked the other
he went in circles
he dropped dead

freedom of choice
is what you got
freedom from choice
is what you want
(repeat)


'Peek-a-boo'

Peek-a-boo!
I can see you
And I know what you do

So put your hands on your face
And cover up your eyes
Don't look until I signal

PEEK-A-BOO! PEEK-A-BOO! PEEK-A-BOO!

The way that we weren't is what we become
So please pay attention while I show you some
Of what's about to happen

PEEK-A-BOO!
I know what you do
Because I do it too

Laugh if you want to or say you don't care
If you cannot see it you think it's not there
It doesn't work that way


'Stuck in a loop'

When you hear woulda-shoulda-coulda
Gotta think mighta in spite of
Low down tired of being a fighter
Turn around put it behind you

Caught in a trap and you can't walk out
It's in your mind so you can't walk out
Now don't get stuck
Stuck in a loop again
Well you're gonna get stuck
Stuck in a loop again

When you hear maybe baby someday
Gotta say when do I get it my way
Freeze-dried waiting for the big day
Get wise take another freeway

Caught in a trap and you can't walk out
It's in your mind so you can't walk out
Just when you think you got it beat
It sets you up and knocks you down
Try to blow it off or trade it in
And you'll end up in the lost and found
And then you get stuck
Stuck in a loop again
Well you're gonna get stuck
Stuck in a loop again

Maybe random maybe a scam
Fate lays waste to the greatest plans
That's life
Talk about karma moan about sin
Just don't get stuck in that loop again
'Cause that's life

'Gates of steel'

twist away the gates of steel
unlock the secret voice
give in to ancient noise
take a chance a brand new dance
twist away the gates of steel

twist away
now twist and shout
the earth it moves too slow
but the earth is all we know
we pay to play the human way
twist away the gates of steel

a man is real
not made of steel

but the earth is all we know
we pay to play the human way
twist away the gates of steel

the beginning was the end
of everything now
the ape regards his tail
he's stuck on it
repeats until he fails
half a goon and half a god
a man's not made of steel

twist away
now twist and shout
the earth it moves too slow
but the earth is all we know
we pay to play the human way
twist away the gates of steel

a man is real that's how he feels

Why "amusingly"?

Is this somehow new information for you?

Devo has always hid intellectual subversion behind a flashy gimmick.

I never really listened to them until recently, after I found out that the founding members were all subgenii. Prior to that, my knowledge of DEVO was 'Whip It' and silly hats made of dog bowls.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

"One Small Part" by Nola.

Here we go again
you don't even try
to cover up your lies anymore.
But now I know the truth
it's better when we dim our minds.

So lets just get this over with.
You start us with a kiss
I'll give you one small part
my little bloody heart
I'll put it in your hands
hold it close and then
before you turn and leave
just lay it by my feet
let's get this over with.

Lord I'd like to know
what you do and where you go
when the skies and blue and gray
and when I ask about your day
you always smile and say,
"I only live at night."

So lets just get this over with.
You start us with a kiss
I'll give you one small part
my little bloody heart
I'll put it in your hands
hold it close and then
before you turn and leave
just lay it by my feet.
Let's get this over with.

Southern cross

we are standing here
as true as we were born on this earth
don't pin all our hopes and your dreams
on somebody else's lives

Southern cross
is twinkling and watching us
so beyond
so far away from us
the southern cross is a holy light
we are the crusader of the southern cross

Go, if you come up against a hurdle
fight, fight for the things you believe in
passion, Joy, sorrow, pain and tears
all they will be pabulum of your life

Go, if you come under the wet yourself
fight, fight for the person you believe in
Destiny is calling you:
"obey me, or defi me"

Is there a thing
wich is superior to love in this erath
a man is living with loving someone
and then being loved by others
we are standing here
as true as we were born on this earth
The moment of yesterday when we lived never waste

Go, if you come up against a hurdle
fight, fight for the things you believe in
passion, Joy, sorrow, pain and tears
all they will be pabulum of your life

Go, if you come under the wet yourself
fight, fight for the person you believe in
Destiny is calling you:
"obey me, or defi me"

This little time that you live here
may be treasure when you are old.
go, if you come away from your way
find, find your own way that you believe in

destiny is challenging you:
"obey me or defi me"

we cannot turn back to our past.
we cannot change our past.
however.
we're heading for the future

so let us reach out our hands. our hand

All Music is Shit To God - Mens Recovery Project

All music is shit to god.
He thinks we're a bunch of babies.
He has no patience for all our noise.
He makes great big plans to destroy us.

My Favorite Headache by Geddy Lee

One man standing on the plains of Abraham watching a damaged sunrise
One man standing near the edge of a quiet breakdown

I watch the sea
It helps to anchor me
I watch the sea
It helps to anchor me

Once you start hiding, you keep on hiding 'till your paranoia calms down
Once you start watching, you keep on watching until you're tied up and you're spell-bound

Just between the ice ages, anyway
I want to talk, but I haven't got too much to say
I don't mean to be so nihilistic
Forgive me if I seem to be too realistic

Once you start running, you keep on running 'till your muscles start to break down
Once you start falling, you keep on falling 'till you hit the cold, cold ground

I watch TV
What do you want from me?
I watch TV
What do you want from me?

Just between the ice ages, anyway
I want to talk, I haven't got enough to say
I don't mean to be so nihilistic
Forgive me if I seem to be too realistic

Once you start hiding, you keep on hiding 'till you feel you're safe and sound
Once you start watching, you keep on watching 'till you're tied up and you're spell-bound

I watch the sea
It helps to anchor me
I watch the sea
I saw it on TV

Only place I could easily find with the song is in this dumbass video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Td6y6zyhg7c It's My Favorite Headache up until 4:45 where it ends and Higher Ground begins, which is a kick-ass song but isn't the one lyric'd above.

The Dance of Bad Angels

What a journey
So hard to describe
Your harbour so small
The ocean so wide
Spin the wheel, spin the wheel
Go wherever she spins
Surrender to this wave that's rolling in
Homing fingers
Starting to dig

Raising expectations
Lifting the lid
There's a show going down
Going deeper within
I long to lose myself
Inside your skin

What a feeling under the stars
My body's rotating from Venus through Mars
There's a war going on
between my head and my heart
I wonder how they grew
So far apart

I'm so shaken, about to explode
The myth of kissing princes
is they turn into toads
There's a war going on
between the sun and the moon
Before they come to terms we'll be consumed

Oh my god, please take me now
I'm ready for ascension
If I only knew how
Give me wings give me wings
Now I'm stuck on the ground
Recieve this blood and bones
I'm homeward bound

See the statue growing wings
This singer was a virgin
Until he conceived
God is love, God is love
And her lover I'll be
I long to leave the world in ecstacy

Dance with me around this fire
The dance of bad angels who'd love to fly higher
God is love, God is love
And her lover I'll be
long to lead the world in ecstacy

[Freeky]

Hymn - Edguy

Give us this day all that you showed me
The faith and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give me all the stories you told me
The faith and the glory till my kingdom comes

And they say that in our time
All the truth that will fall from grace
Even saints would turn their face
In our time
And they told us that in our days
A different words said in different ways
Have other meanings from he who says
In our time

Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give me all the stories you told me
The faith and the glory till my kingdom comes

And they say that in our time
We would reap from their legacy
And we would learn from what they had seen
In our time
And they told us that in our days
We would know what was high on high
We would follow and not defy
In our time

Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes

Faithless in faith
We must behold the things we see

Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give me all the stories you told me
The faith and the glory till my kingdom comes

Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give me all the stories you told me
The faith and the glory till my kingdom comes

Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give me all the stories you told me
The faith and the glory till my kingdom comes
till my kingdom comes
till the kingdom comes

Save Us Now - Edguy

The sound of explosions, the children awake
The turn of the tide acts up, the ground it starts to quake
A pile of dented steel, in fear I realize
Behind the shuttle's windshield two evil shinig eyes

Highspeed alien drum bunny - Highspeed alien drum bunny

Handcuffed they take the stranded straight into their lab
Examine him, his DNA, what you give is what you will get
He takes his magic carrot, a bang and drums appear
He starts to play like thunder, mandkind flee to save your hearing

Highspeed alien drum bunny - Highspeed alien drum bunny

Save us now, somebody - Save us now, someone
From highspeed A.D.B.
Save us now, somebody - Save us now, someone
From highspeed A.D.B.

Bum Bum Bunny B., life is a drag I can tell
But let me count to four and then you play the roll of hell
One, two, one, two, three, four...

[hoplle-roll of hopple-hell bu the protagonist]
[solo: Both/Jens]

Highspeed alien drum bunny - Highspeed alien drum bunny
Hi fish, alien drum bunny - Hasi, alien drum bunny

[repeat chorus]

[Anonymous protagonist encouraging the cheering masses:]
This is alien drum bunnies' revenge - Resistance is futile!!!

Southern Cross lyrics

I remember that song. Some guys made a flash animation to it with fighting anime cats.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjQ0DilngkE

Anyway, say what you will about stinky hippies, I think Blind Melon have some pretty awesome lyrics. It's really a shame, what happened to them.

Paper Scratcher:

Shuffle can to can nobody really gives a damn
For every living day I give myself a hand
Now I'm scroungy as can be
I got all you normals looking at me
I'll scratch a hole in my life
So everyone can see
My mind is a mind that I have come to know
And my eyes can't conceive a world that can not grow
And Fridays are always fresh days
Screamin' at the sun, don't really
Know what he has done
He don't believe in God and a world as one
So he rambles through the weeds
Saying he will sleep beneath the trees
And on the day I die, Thank God my Soul will be released
I've seen all your eyes
And I've seen all your faces
Can you tell me honestly that you wanna be free?
Then look in my eyes
I've been lots of places
Can you tell me honestly that you'd want to be me
Honestly.

Walk:

Find myself singing the same songs every day
Ones that make me feel good
When things behind the smiles ain't okay

Around and over and in-between the seas
I need to be on top of a mountain
Where I can see everything
Cause this paranoia's getting old

Now as I open my eyes to start another day
I'm in a pile of puke
Empty bag of excuses
My love for friends and family
you know I need them

And under a sun that's seen it all before
My feet are so cold
And I can't believe that I have to bang my head against this wall again
But the blows they have just a little more space in-between them
Gonna take a breath and try again.

St. Andrew's Fall:

Big stretch and not much sleep
I got a couple of palm trees on each side of my cheek
And it's a bright blue Saturday
And the rummage sells the rubbish to me

But if I could buy the sky that's hangin'
Over this bed of mine
If I could climb these vines
And maybe see what you're seein'

If you were standing on the corner staring straight
Into the eyes of Jesus Christ

One porch, one dog, one cockroach only way to be
I got sewage fruit and it's growing out back from roots
I don't know if they belong to me
But if I could buy the sky that's hangin'

Over this bed of mine
And if I could climb these vines
and maybe see what you're seein'

Sittin' at the edge of this building,
Twenty stories below,
A' twenty stories below
Twenty stories below
Twenty stories below

I can't tell you how many ways that I've sat,
And viewed my life today, but I can tell you
I don't think that I can find easier way
So if I see you walking hand in hand in hand
With a three armed man, you know I'll understand

(Pockets full of crappiness
Can't piece together my day
So I pose myself this question
Maybe sleeps gonna get me in the shade
I got my head buried in this pillow
I got my head buried in this pillow
So low...)

But you should have been in my shoes yesterday
You should have been in my shoes yesterday

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

i fucking LOVE blind melon.

and Walk is an awesome track.

I am a filthy hippy tho, so...
