   Prelude (The Family Trip)
 
   There's no earthly way of knowing
   Which direction we are going
   There's no knowing where we're going
   Or which way the wind is blowing
   Is it raining? Is it snowing
   Is a hurricane a-blowing
   Not a speck of light is showing
   So the danger must be growing
   Oh, the fires of hell are glowing
   Is the grisly reaper mowing
   Yes! The danger must be growing
   For the rowers keep on rowing
   And they're certainly not showing
   Any signs that they are slowing!
   Stop the boat!
 
 
 
   Cake and Sodomy
 
   I am the god of fuck, I am the god of fuck
   Virgins sold in quantity, herded by heredity
   Red neck burn out mid west mind,
   who said date rape isn't kind?
   Porno nation, evaluation what's this time for segregation
   Libido, libido fascination, too much oral defecation
   White trash get down on your knees,
   time for cake and sodomy
   Time for cake and sodomy
   (I am the god of fuck, I am the god of fuck)
   VCR's and vaseline, tv-fucked by plastic queens
   Cash in hand and dick on screen,
   who said god was ever clean?
   Bible-belt round anglio-waste,
   putting sinners in their place
   Yeah, right, great if you're so good explain the shit stains on your face
   White trash get down on your knees,
   time for cake and sodomy
   Time for cake and sodomy
 
 
 
   Lunchbox
 
   On we plow
   The big bully try to stick his finger in my chest
   Try to tell me, tell me he's the best
   But I don't really give a good goddamn cause
   I got my lunchbox and I'm armed real well
   I got my lunchbox and I'm armed real well
   I got my lunchbox and I'm armed real well
   I wanna grow up
   I wanna be a big rock and roll star
   I wanna grow up I wanna be
   So no one fucks with me
   I got the pencils in my pocket, try to put me down
   Wanna go out, gotta get out
   To the playground, gonna throw down at the playground
   I wanna go out
   Next motherfucker gonna get my metal
   Next motherfucker gonna get my metal
   Next motherfucker gonna get my metal
   Next motherfucker gonna get my metal
   Pow pow pow,
   pow pow pow,
   pow pow pow,
   pow pow pow
   I wanna grow up I wanna be a big rock and roll star I wanna grow up I wanna be
   So no one fucks with me
 
 
 
   Organ Grinder
 
   I am the face of piss and shit and sugar
   I do a crooked little dance with my funny little monkey
   What I want, what I want is just your children
   I hate what I have become to escape what I hated being
   Caliopenis envy from your daddy
   You're not gonna hear what he don't want to hear
   What I say disgusts him
   He wants to be me and that scares him
   Lets do a funny little dance with my funny little monkey
   The black keys
   Here is my real head, here is my real head
   I wear this fucking mask because you cannot handle me
   Here is my real head
   They try to blink me not to think me
   Don't want to bring me out I am the rotten teeth,
   my fists are lined with suckers
   My prison skin's an eyesore mirror sketch pad
   I am your son
   Your dad
   Your fag
   Your fad
   Here is my real head, here is my real head
   I wear this fucking mask because you cannot handle me
   Here is my real head
 
 
 
   Cyclops
 
   Cyclops woman got one eye in her head
   Mascera-clotted vision she is fed
   Cyclops woman can't see nothing at all
   She got a pin prick spiral hole
   She can't see nothing, nothing at all
   She can't see nothing, nothing at all
   Cyclops woman dying in her shell
   Guilt got her trapped in nailed in well
   Cyclops woman is the eye of the world
   Who's reflection's in the retina?
   he can't see nothing, nothing at all
   She can't see nothing, nothing at all
   Dialate, dialate
 
 
 
   Dope Hat
 
   I peek into the hole, I struggle for control
   The children love the show,
   but they fail to see the anguish in my eyes
   Fail to see the anguish in my eyes
   I scratch around the brim, I let my mind give in
   The crowd begins to grin,
   but they seem to scream when darkness fills my eyes
   Seem to scream when darkness fills my eyes, it's no surprise
   Fail to see the tragic, turn it into magic
   My big top tricks will always make you happy,
   but we all know the hat is wearing me
   My bag is in the hat, it's filled with this and that
   My vision's getting fat, the rabbit's just a monkey in disguise
   Stars and pills and needles dance before our eyes
   They will bite the hand if it is slower than
   the quickness of their scrutinizing eyes
   Fail to see the tragic, turn it into magic
   My big top tricks will always make you happy,
   but we all know the hat is wearing me
   Chicanery will always make you happy,
   but we all know the hat is wearing me
 
 
 
   Get Your Gunn
 
   Goddamn your righteous hand
   I eat innocent meat
   The housewife I will beat
   The prolife I will kill
   What you don't do I will
   I bash myself to sleep
   What you sow I will reap
   I scar myself you see
   I wish I wasn't me
   I am the little stick
   You stir me into shit
   I hate therefore I am
   Goddamn your rightous hand
   Goddamn, goddamn Goddamn, goddamn
   Pseudo-morals work real well
   On the talk shows for the weak
   But your selective judgements
   And goodguy badges
   Don't mean a fuck to me
   I throw a little fit I slit my teenage wrist
   The most that I can learn
   Is in records that you burn
   Get your gunn, get your gunn get your gunn, get your gunn
   Pseudo-morals work real well
   On the talk shows for the weak
   But your selective judgements
   And goodguy badges
   Don't mean a fuck to me
   I am the VHS
   Record me with your fist
   You want me to save the world I'm just a little girl
   Pseudo-morals work real well
   On the talk shows for the weak
   But your selective judgements
   And goodguy badges
   Don't mean a fuck to me
   Get your gunn, get your gunn Get your gunn, get your gunn...
   get
 
 
   Wrapped in Plastic
 
   Guilt is a snake we beat with a rake
   To grow in our kitchen in the pies we bake
   Feed it to us to squirm in our bellies
   Twisting our guts make our spines to jelly
   Stay, don't want to go now
   Drove the children from their chores
   Handcrafted housewives into whores
   Fear of the beast is calling it near
   Creating what we're hating, it's only fear that is here
   Stay, don't want to go now
   Come into our home, won't you stay?
   I know the steak is cold but it's wrapped in plastic
   Come into our home, won't you stay?
   I know the steak is cold but it's wrapped in plastic
   I'm only as deep as the self that I dig
   I'm only as sick as the stick in the pig
   Thin and so white, thin and so white
   Daddy tells the daughter
   While mommy's sleeping at night
   To wash away sin you must take off your skin
   The righteous father wears the yellowest grin
   Don't wanna go now
   Stay, don't wanna go now, stay, don't wanna go now
   Come into our home, won't you stay?
   I know the steak is cold but it's wrapped in plastic
 
 
 
   Dogma
 
   Burn the witches, burn the witches,
   don't take time to sew your stiches
   Burn the witches, burn the witches
   Good is the thing that you favor, evil is your sour flavor
   You cannot sedate all the things you hate
   Burn your bridges, burn your bridges,
   don't take time to sew your stiches
   Burn your bridges, burn your bridges
   Good is the thing that you favor, evil is your sour flavor
   I don't need your hate, I decide my fate
   You cannot sedate all the things you rape
 
 
 
   Sweet Tooth
 
   Her heart shivers in my hand
   She's melting on me like cotton candy
   I make the faces that make you cry
   I want you more when you're afraid of
   My disease, disease is draining me
   Anymore you're not so 'pretty please'
   Disease, disease is draining me
   I want you more when you're afraid of me
   I will break you inside out
   You are mine, you are mine
   I will break you inside out
   You are mine, you are mine
   Her hair hangs in swollen strings
   I'm choking on her, it feels so sickening
   I make the faces that make you cry
   I want you more when you're afraid of
   My disease, disease is draining me
   Anymore you're not so pretty, please
   Disease, disease is draining me
   I want you more when you're afraid of me
   I will break you inside out
   You are mine, you are mine
 
 
 
   Snake Eyes and Sissies
 
   Wrench is just a household God
   but I carry mine with pride
   I don't work but I can work with it to split your smile
   Run you down without a twitch,
   your car's just not as big as mine
   Tear the son out of your bitch and
   sprinkle your remains with lime
   I ain't no workin' man,
   I do the best I can,
   I got the devil's hand
   Rollin' sixes
   I am the habit man,
   I use up all I can, I got the slacker's hand
   My afternoon's remote control
   Daydream milk and genocide
   Tranquility with broken knees, silly putty enemies
   Butter knife in your side
   What I got I got for free, middle finger technology
   What's yours is mine, yours is mine,
   told you fucker, yours is mine
   Snake eyes for sissies
   I ain't no workin' man,
   I do the best I can,
   I got the devil's hand
   Rollin' sixes
   I am the habit man,
   I use up all I can, I got the slacker's hand
   I am the pedophlle's dream
   A messianic Peter Pan
   Just a boy, just a boy, just a little fucking boy,
   I can never be a man
   I ain't no workin' man,
   I do the best I can,
   I got the devil's hand
   Rollin' sixes
   I am the habit man,
   I use up all I can, I got the slacker's hand
   I ain't no workin' man,
   I do the best I can,
   I got the devil's hand
   I am the habit man,
   I use up all I can, I got the slacker's hand
   (Oh no, Oh no)
 
 
 
   My Monkey
 
   I had a little monkey
   I sent him to the country and I fed him on gingerbread
   Along came a choo-choo, knocked my monkey coo-coo
   And now my monkey's dead
   At least he looks that way, but then again don't we all
   (what I make is what I am, I can't be forever)
   I had a little a monkey I sent him to the country and I fed him on gingerbread
   Along came a choo-choo, knocked my monkey coo-coo
   And now my monkey's dead
   Poor little monkey
   'Make you...break you...make you...break you...lookout'
   (what I make is what I am, I can't live forever)
   We are our own wicked gods
   With little g's and big dicks
   Sadistic and constantly inflicting a slow demise
   I had a little a monkey I sent him to the country and I fed him on gingerbread
   Along came a choo-choo, knocked my monkey coo-coo
   And now my monkey's dead
   The primate's scream of consonance is a reflection
   Of his own mind's dissonance
 
 
 
   Misery Machine
 
   Man in the front got a sinister grin, careen down highway 666
   We wanna go, crush the slow, as the pitchfork bends the needles grow
   My arms are wheels, my legs are wheels, my blood is pavement
   We're gonna ride to the abbey of the ema, to the abbey of the ema
   Blood is pavement
   The grill in the front is my sinister grin, bugs in my teeth make me sick sick sick
   The objects may be larger than they appear in the mirror
   My arms are wheels, my legs are wheels, my blood is pavement
   We're gonna ride to the abbey of the ema, to the abbey of the ema
   Blood is pavement
   When you ride you're ridden, when you ride you're ridden
   I am fueled by filth and fury
   Do what I will, I will hurry there, there
   My arms are wheels, my legs are wheels, my blood is pavement
   Blood is pavement
