flash atavistic now
gripping and spitting
a faceless survivor
a fiend
reckless in motion
black
laughing and thrashing
a galloping nightmare effect
reaching out blind in the dark
a white bic lighter and a hateful heart
headless
break into pieces and scream
i am the rolling destroyer
a frothing machine
tearing through rusty wires
keening clear on the wind
a howling eruption escaping
shimmering out on the asphalt
highway horizon
mashing the gas
every fake face lies
red throated war cry
burn it and smash the remains
flicker and come alive
a finger
a threat
a come on
pretension and pride
reaching out blind in the dark
a white bic lighter and a hateful heart

didn't want to work the coal mine
didn't want to work the prison
bought a loud half stack and electric guitar
got an associate's degree
liberal arts
I'm washing dishes
cleaning trash cans
cold calling small business
my five year plan is a tour and a trailer
my family and loved ones are looking concerned
they say
where will the money come from
you're all style no substance
you're all talk do nothing
don't fret man I'll think of something
yeah I'll figure it out
what will you do when the money runs out
where will you go when the car breaks down
and the credit cards only go so far
the collectors closing in like dogs
never answer the phone
you know I've never been much of a talker
they won't leave me alone
and I just need a little more time to pay everything back
they say
where will the money come from
you're all style no substance
you're all talk do nothing
don't fret man I'll think of something
yeah I'll figure it out

You Bought A Cop Car
01:20
|

got a great deal on a used Crown Vic with a bull bar
bald tires
two tone
bullet holes
cruise it up and down Central Avenue slow
elbow hung like a flag out the window
you bought a cop car
interceptor moves like a predator through
dead streets sprawl and sidewalks
razor fences chains and asphalt
V8 Hemi howls along canals
my car is built to smash
it's stronger faster than yours
my car is built to destroy
to subjugate and stomp all over
you bought a cop car
my car is built to succeed
to segregate
to rule and conquer
my car is haunted by the march of fascist boots
and murdered youth
but fuck the truth
you bought a cop car

Hot Shot
01:36

junky took a hit
junky kinda liked it
and he kept it around
quickly found out he was capable of things
he never knew about
junky had kids
didn't give a shit
and he left them with their mother
on the bus to the day care
junky's dreams stood tall
they were holding him down
junky got pinched at the Quik Trip
he couldn't sweat it out in county and he flipped
now he's got a mark on his back
living with a friend and using fake names
but he needs another hit
without a stranger left to work with
junky's fuck you comes quick with a capital F
when junky got a hot shot
nobody called the cops
they threw him in the dumpster with the trash
and they walked
they burned his rig and papers in a box

all she wants is one good night
holding back a smile she braids her hair
shaves her legs
picks a dress she knows he'll like
scented candles in the bath
pumice stone cucumber mask
she used up her whole day off
running 80 in the car
singing loud over the radio
waiting in the night
she says I can't live my life without it
fumbling in the dark
clumsy hands will never satisfy her
lay still until he passes out
he never eats her ass
she will make it work
pornographic films and lingerie
cosmopolitans and kegels
she will strike suggestive poses
that he'll never notice
she has only city lights to hold her
fantasize about another life
all she wants is
one
good
waiting in the night
she says I can't live my life without it
fumbling in the dark
clumsy hands will never satisfy her
lay still until he passes out
he never eats her ass

five dollar tips
fine wines and scripts
in Scottsdale
fairways and lawns
vacation homes
in Scottsdale
oh yeah
write off the bill
Ralph Lauren thrills
in Scottsdale
velvet rope clubs
drunk yuppie twenty-somethings
Scottsdale
oh yeah
Scarves
Sunglasses
Golf Shorts
Diamonds
High Heels
Lost in rental condos take me home
past cannibals at Whiskey Row
past greasy teeth and easy marks and idle cops
past leather Gucci bags and shopping cart motels
melanoma on a trust fund tan
you're drying out in Scottsdale
piles of sand spray painted gold and sold
to beady eyed investment pros
compulsive gamblers
widowed dancers
D-list has-beens cons and mormons
if you can't make it in LA you can try Scottsdale
if you're too cheap for LA buy property in Scottsdale
and fuck you

knock me around
baby I've got a hard head
rough me up
throwing bones in the mosh pit
I've been dropped on my head at The Offspring
punched in the throat at the Nekromantix
rushed by a gimp at GWAR
kicked in the face at GBH
come on
crushed by a fat man at Something Fierce
thrown by a large guy in a kilt at Flogging Molly
burned by someone's cigarette at Nine Inch Nails
scraped at Rancid
table crashing
head butted thrashing
I've been dropped on my head at The Offspring
punched in the throat at the Nekromantix
rushed by a gimp at GWAR
kicked in the face at GBH
fuck it

Leaving
02:49
|

|
they're selling cars across the street
let's slip the fence and hit the beach
get out
stay ahead of the heat
show me a promise I'll believe
where are the kicks and colors cheap
take me
to the rest of the freaks
I just want to know I can leave
