[Shit]

There once was a man from Nantucket
Who said to an apple "Let's fornicate it."
They had a few babies
But they all had rabies
So he said to his mistress, "Just suck it.

Tom Waits- What Keeps Mankind Alive?


You gentlemen who think you have a mission
To purge us of the seven deadly sins
Should first sort out the basic food position
Then start your preaching, that's where it begins

You lot who preach restraint and watch your waist as well
Should learn, for once, the way the world is run
However much you twist or whatever lies that you tell
Food is the first thing, morals follow on

So first make sure that those who are now starving
Get proper helpings when we all start carving
What keeps mankind alive?

What keeps mankind alive?
The fact that millions are daily tortured
Stifled, punished, silenced and oppressed
Mankind can keep alive thanks to its brilliance
In keeping its humanity repressed
And for once you must try not to shriek the facts
Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts

[LMNO]

What album is that off of?

[Payne]

Not sure, I filched it off a CD a friend loaned me.

[LMNO]

Dammit.  I thought I had 'em all.  Now I have to go looking.

[That One Guy]

What album is that off of?

My Google-fu says Orphans, Tales from the Underground, and Spare Parts.

[LMNO]

Really?  It's on Orphans?

Color me stupid.

Ah well, it's a 3-disc set, I can't remember all the songs.

[Payne]

Another NoFX track, this time 'You're Wrong'

You're wrong about virtues of Christianity
And you're wrong if you agree with Sean Hannity
If you think that pride is about nationality, you're wrong

You're wrong when you imprison people turning tricks
And you're wrong about trickle down economics
If you think that punk rock doesn't mix with politics, you're wrong

You're wrong for hating queers and eating steers
If you kill for the thrill of the hunt
You're wrong 'bout wearing fur and not hating Ann Coulter
Cause she's a cunted cunt

You're wrong if you celebrate Columbus Day
And You're wrong if you think there will be a Judgement Day
If you're a charter member of the NRA, you're wrong

You're wrong if you support capital punishment
And you're wrong if you don't question your government
If you think her reproductive rights are inconsequent, you're wrong

You're wrong fighting Jihad, your blind faith in God
Your religions are all flawed,
You're wrong about drug use, when its not abuse
I hope you never reproduce

You're getting high on the downlow
A victim of Cointelpro
You're wrong and will probably never know

The Beautiful South - A Little Time

(Hemingway)
I need a little time
To think it over
I need a little space
Just on my own
I need a little time
To find my freedom
I need a little...

(Corrigan)
Funny how quick the milk turns sour
Isn't it, isn't it
Your face has been looking like that for hours
Hasn't it, hasn't it
Promises, promises turn to dust
Wedding bells just turn to rust
Trust into mistrust

(Hemingway)
I need a little room
To find myself
I need a little space
To work it out
I need a little room
All alone
I need a little...

(Corrigan)
You need a little room for your big head
Don't you, don't you
You need a little space for a thousand beds
Won't you, won't you
Lips that promise - fear the worst
Tongue so sharp - the bubble burst
Just into unjust

(Hemingway)
I've had a little time
To find the truth
Now I've had a little room
To check what's wrong
I've had a little time
And I still love you
I've had a little...

(Corrigan)
You had a little time
And you had a little fun
Didn't you, didn't you
While you had yours
Do you think I had none
Do you, do you
The Freedom that you wanted bad
Is yours for good
I hope you're glad
Sad into unsad


I had a little time
To think it over
Had a little room
To work it out
I found a little courage
To call it off

I've had a little time
I've had a little time
I've had a little time
I've had a little time

[Shinigami715]

SCISSOR SISTERS always have the best fucking lyrics. Because they stopped giving a fuck.


"I Can't Decide"

It's not easy having yourself a good time
Greasing up those bets and betters
Watching out they don't four-letter
Fuck and kiss you both at the same time
Smells-like something I've forgotten
Curled up died and now it's rotten

I'm not a gangster tonight
Don't want to be a bad guy
I'm just a loner baby
And now you're gotten in my way

I can't decide
Whether you should live or die
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride

It's a bitch convincing people to like you
If I stop now call me a quitter
If lies were cats you'd be a litter
Pleasing everyone isn't like you
Dancing jigs until I'm crippled
Slug ten drinks I won't get pickled

I've got to hand it to you
You've played by all the same rules
It takes the truth to fool me
And now you've made me angry

I can't decide
Whether you should live or die
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride

Oh I could throw you in the lake
Or feed you poisoned birthday cake
I wont deny I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
Oh I could bury you alive
But you might crawl out with a knife
And kill me when I'm sleeping
That's why

I can't decide
Whether you should live or die
Oh, you'll probably go to heaven
Please don't hang your head and cry
No wonder why
My heart feels dead inside
It's cold and hard and petrified
Lock the doors and close the blinds
We're going for a ride

[Cain]

That is a good song by them, surprisingly.  I find myself singing the "I can't decide whether you should live or die" line at inappropriate moments, which is always fun.

[Shinigami715]

Yeah. The humor of murder is a good enough reason to listen to Neo-Disco, as far as im concerned.

Imperative Reaction - Severed

You will give up
You always do
And time won't let you follow through
Your weakness hass shown
And now you're everything they've thrown at you
You knew the time was coming
You cast yourself adrift
You burned your empty words
And fucked it up again
Now the colors drain like blood
Down the canvas you abandoned
And shadows hide the words
You replaced with excuses
But excuses lose their weight
When you're forced into a corner
And the one you once believed in
Has left you there alone

Now what can you show
For all the dreams you trampled on
Now how does it feel
When everything you had is gone
Now what can you say
For the life you fought so hard to live
Now how does it feel
Now how does it feel
How can you walk away when this was everything you wanted
Now how can you say this was nothing that you needed
How can you fall apart in a time that is so crucial
Now how does it feel
Now how does it feel

You are too lost
You'll always be
Too caught up in your world to see
Reality has spoken and you turn the other way
You'll always have a reason to deny what you've destroyed
You burned your acid (empty?) words
And left it all behind
Now the reasons fall like cinders from the fire you avoided
And whispers shun the failures you tried so hard to hide
But whispers lose their trust when you're lost and apathetic (hypothetic(s)?)
And the one you once believed in is a total fucking loss

(chorus chorus, etc)

Midnight Oil - Forgotten Years

Few of the sins of the father,
Are visited upon the son
Hearts have been hard,
Hands have been clenched in a fist too long
Our sons need never be soldiers,
Our daughters will never need guns
These are the years between
These are the years that were hard fought and won

Now our contracts torn at the edges,
Old signatures stained with tears
Seasons of war agrees,
These should not be forgotten years
Still it aches like tetanus,
It reeks of politics
How many dreams remain?
This is a feeling too strong to contain

The hardest years,
The darkest years,
The roarin' years,
The fallen years
These should not be forgotten years
The hardest years,
The wildest years,
The desperate and divided years
We will remember,
These should not be forgotten years

Our shoreline was never invaded,
Our country was never in flames
This is the calm we breathe,
This is the feeling too strong to contain
Still it aches like tetanus,
It reeks of politics
Signatures stained with tears,
Who can remember?
We've got to remember

The hardest...
Forsaking aching breaking years,
The time and tested heartbreak years
These should not be forgotten years
The blinded years,
The binded years,
The desperate and divided years
These should not be forgotten years,
remember

[Triple Zero]

kind of a more happy song this time, Covenant - Humility

(happy at least if you ignore the "plz dont kill urself kthxbye" bit in the chorus)

behold the beauty that surrounds us
see the wonders we take for granted
roam the world in all her glory
sail the seas and climb the mountains
discover things you never knew
be happy that you're alive

so many reasons to remain
so many people to embrace
so many stories to be told
so many errors to correct

turn your gaze towards the moon
even further if you dare
turn your face towards the sun
and be grateful that it's there

behold the beauty we have made us
all the wonders that we created
see the cities of the ancients
in the deserts and the jungles
see the truth you always knew
be happy that you're alive
