Lonely Savior
03:52

|

I'm in the middle of nowhere
I'm in the middle of nowhere, where are you?
You pick a side and then go there
You pick a side and then go there, I will too.
Pick your poison
You're gonna choke anyway
Pick your poison
It's just a joke anyway
No, I'm not alone
I follow a lonely savior
No, I'm not a clone
I govern my own behavior
Whoa whoa
I follow a lonely savior
I need nobody's forgiveness
I need nobody's forgiveness, how 'bout you?
You keep your business your business
You keep your business your business, I will too.
Pick your poison
You're gonna choke anyway
Pick your poison
It's just a joke anyway
No, I'm not alone
I follow a lonely savior
No, I'm not a clone
I govern my own behavior
Whoa whoa
I follow a lonely savior
It's so funny, it's so funny
You keep the faith and they keep the money
It's so divine, it's so divine
You see a cross, they see a dollar sign, oh!
Pick your poison
Oh!
Pick your poison
It's just a joke!
No, I'm not alone
I follow a lonely savior
No, I'm not a clone
I govern my own behavior
Whoa whoa
I follow a lonely savior

A Little Stronger
02:55
|
|
||
I think the earth is spinning faster, is spinning faster than ever before
I’ve got to be a little stronger, so I can hold on for a little more
(Save me)
I think I should be getting somewhere, so someone tell me where to go
I think I am forgetting something, but what it is, I don’t know
I guess I just lack direction, at least that’s what they tell me so
It seems I’m on track for nothing, and the brakes gave out long ago
Get it done
I think the sea is rising higher, is rising higher than ever before
I’ve got to be a little stronger so I can tread water until the shore
(Finds me)
I think I should be getting somewhere, so someone tell me where to go
I think I am forgetting something, but what it is, I don’t know
I guess I just lack direction, at least that’s what they tell me so
It seems I’m on track for nothing, and the brakes gave out long ago
2x
Get it done

Get Old
03:15
|
|
||
Along with age, there comes responsibility
But willingly, I lack response, and that is killing me
It’s as easy as 1-2-3
For some reason I’m one to be at 6 and 7’s, see?
I have the freedom to fulfill my own fortune and destiny
Unfortunately, my apathy gets the best of me
Clever, squander each endeavor
I’m finding that again, again
I’m biting off more than I can chew
But my appetite is never quite satisfied
What should I do?
Is it a glitch in my synthesis
Which turned me into this
Defiant paradigm?
Why won’t I do what I’m told,
And get old?
And I don’t know how I got this way, because it’s not the norm
I gotta choose a play and get a uniform
I need a better coat, a better pair of pants
Cuz you gotta wear a suit to do the song and dance
Maybe this is the way I was made to be
And I should wait ‘til the world acclimates to me
Never, you will wait forever
Then I guess I might as well just play what I’m dealt
If you got a problem put it in your pelvis
I’m finding that again, again
I’m biting off more than I can chew
But my appetite is never quite satisfied
What should I do?
Is it a glitch in my synthesis
Which turned me into this
Defiant paradigm?
Why won’t I do what I’m told,
And get old?
I’m discovering again, again
I’m taking on more than I can pursue
But this non-stop punch clock robot hockshop
Won’t compel me, so you tell me
Why won’t I do what I’m told,
And get old?
I’ll never do what I’m told
And get old.

Suck
03:56
|
|
||
I’m so sick and tired
Of feeding on falderal
I’ve taken in just about all
That I can
But it’s okay
‘Cause I’m here to regurgitate
All of the tripe I have ingested
And put it on your plate
All I’m itching for is some recognition
All I pine for is some radio air time
Gimme a chance (2x)
A chance to show to you
Gimme a chance (2x)
A chance to prove
We can walk like the other bands
Talk like the others
Write hooks like the others
Look like the others
Jump around like the other bands
Sound like the other bands too
Suck like the other bands do
They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery
Then my proclamation should make everybody happy
If apery loves company, then tell me where to sign in, please
Artistic integrity
Was murdered by criminals
Wearing subliminal
Eye make-up
But it’s okay
‘Cause I’m gonna celebrate
The day that techno inherits the planet
And wipes all our sins away
All I’m itching for is some recognition
All I need is for MTV to need me
You may say I’m bitter, but at least I’m not a quitter
Gimme a chance…
I’ll prove that we can
Walk like the other bands
Talk like the others
Write hooks like the others
Look like the other bands
Whine like the other bands
Sign like the others
Lip sync like the others
Drink like the others
Get cash like the others
Get ass like the others
Sell out like the others
Pout like the others
Jump around like the other bands
Sound like the other bands too
Suck like the other bands do

Jolly Roger
02:58
|
|

I’m beckoning a rage, so get ready
The stakes are steep so try and keep it steady
I got all the others shakin’
When my Jolly Roger’s wavin’
There is only one interpretation
Get set for tribulations, buddy
For those about to rock, you’re fired
Face the fact, the fucking act is tired
I got all the others shakin’
When my Jolly Roger’s wavin’
Some boats boast the most floats but they ghosts
Talked the swank and walked the plank and sank, boom!
Ooh, pray to the heavens you stay on my benevolent side
If there’s no bone of contention, I won’t pay attention
Oh no, but if you cross me you’ll be crucified
Life sucks when drinking from a vat of insipidity
Good luck when bringing some old-fashioned impropriety
My Jolly Roger’s waving

A Day Like Today
03:10
|
|

Another day just like the last
Another wasted hour past
But on a day like today, a day like today
We’re future bound and out of cage
Yeah, we know our time will end
Yeah, let’s seize it while we can
Below the trees, the shadows call
And try and end our masquerade
But on a day like today, a day like today
They’ll never find our hideaway
Yeah, we know our time will end
Yeah, let’s seize it while we can
See you smile again (2x)
I’ll hold my breath just to see you smile again
Until I die just to see you smile again
Yeah, we know our time will end
Please, never end
On a day like today, a day like today
We’re future bound and out of cage
On a day like today…

Lay Low
04:19
|
|

I closed our story
Before it could begin
My life is one big sorry
And I sucked you in
And I’m sorry that I’m such a goad of your dismay
Feels like anything I touch only comes out this way
Woe is me, woe are you
Lay low, lay low
You gotta learn how to deal on your own
Lay low, darling, lay low
For now
Sheep-clothed imposters
You know as your friends
This world is full of monsters
And I’m one of them
There’s a thousand avaricious trying to hurt you, dear
And my sympathetic wish is to desert you here
Let solace be solitude
Lay low, lay low
You gotta learn who is real on your own
Lay low, darling, lay low
For now
You gotta vie though their words are vile
You gotta roll with the sticks and stones
You gotta smile all the while ‘cause you know that they’re in denial
That their wretched little lives are more miserable than your own
Lay low, lay low
You gotta learn how to deal on your own
Lay low, darling, lay low
For now

End Up
03:15
|
|
||
Things are great with us, you know
We stay out late from dusk till dawn
We rise and then we fall again
We're anything but ordinary
But then again…
Is anyone ordinary?
Just so you know before you go
We all end up in the ground
Things are great with us, you know
We feed a job and build a home
‘Til everything implodes one day
And some expect an explanation
But then again…
Some don’t
Just so you know before you go
We all end up in the ground
To the sky we get high on information
The earth is not immune to overpopulation
You're born, you pay the fee and then you die
Just make sure that you declare those pennies on your eye
Got news for you homey and you might not like it
But it will have a profound effect on your psyche
Either get down with the fear or get the hell outta here
We got no time to look back this is the album of the year
Just so you know before you go
We all end up in the ground

How About That?
03:24
|
|

Here’s to mediocrity
Three cheers for mere hypocrisy
It’s clear as Judgment Day, oh say can you see?
The world will never ever be
A perfect little reverie
So nurse your view for someone who
Actually believes in our amity
If you think I’m just a game to play…
Well, come on, come on, come on
Reckon me Monopoly
Cause then there is no stopping me
From sending you directly to jail at once
If you care for eschatology
Then where is our apology?
There’s no way in hell to spell
Damnation without the whole damn nation
In the end two factions will be cleft
Sheep are in the right hand, goats the left
I hope you get thrust down
Like a Hail Mary touchdown
In time, none will be bereft
Angels seize all we have left
When the axe takes to our tree
I just hope you’re next to me
How about that for goodbye?
Goodbye…
If you’re looking for accolades...
Well, come on, come on, come on
Clearly you are out of luck
‘Cause really I don’t give a (hey)
Ooh, and you can go “hey” yourself
How about that?
How about that?
How about that for goodbye?

Undertow
06:46
|
|

Build it strong, build it wider
Build it where no one will ever find her
Fusing brick and bone
Muscles into stone
Now I’ve become catacomb walls
All alone, impenetrable
Lo and behold, the undertow
She glided like a tidal flow
Her waves erased the status quo
Forever
Build it strong, build it higher
Build it far above true desire
Heart to motored wheels
Pumping blood and steel
Now I’ve become skyscraper beams
Towering out of your reach
No one will ever talk me down
No one can ever knock me down
Lo and behold, the undertow
She glided like a tidal flow
We’re drowning now, how apropos
Oh no!
