Me

He looks to me like he’s got nothing to lose
He looks to me like trailer trash out on the loose
He looks to me like he’s seen some better days
He looks to me like he’s got one foot in the grave
Everyone
Is looking at me
Everyone
Is laughing at me
She looks to me like she’s got nothing to lose
She looks to me like trailer trash out on the loose
She looks to me like she’s seen some better days
She looks to me like she’s got one foot in the grave
Everyone
Is looking at me
Everyone
Is laughing at me
And how am I suppose to be me
With everyone staring at me?
And how am I suppose to get clean, clean
With everyone messing with me?
I’m tired of people fucking with me
Everyone
Is laughing at me
Everyone
Is messing with me
He looks to me like
She looks to me like
He looks to me like
She looks to me like
And how am I suppose to be free
With everyone treading on me?
And how am I suppose to get clean, clean
With everyone looking at me?

Baby Doll
03:10
|

|
Is it all in my head
All in my mind?
I seem to believe
I ain’t nothing without her time
She gets all my bread
Yeah, all my dough
Anything she wants
Hey it just goes to show
She can have anyone
But she wants me
Baby doll
I want you to have it all
I want you to see it all
I want you to be it all
I got some of my hair
And most of my teeth
I guess that’s why, you know
She’s into me
Shit man, I’m a mess
A fucking wreck
Counting my lucky stars
She ain’t split on me yet
She could have anyone
But she wants me
Baby doll
I want you to have it all
I want you to see it all
I want you to be it all

Metal
04:43
|

|
I take pride in having
At least met her
That’s as close as I ever got, though
I wish for better
Black eyeliner
Sabbath tee
Smoking cigarettes
Out on the green
She’s got eyes that always
Seem to listen
So few words, I think
Were ever mentioned
She don’t need no melody
She likes metal can’t you see
And she ain’t chaining what is free
So get in line if you want a — want a piece
Yeah, I’m a man though
I ain’t no creeper
I look for her because
You know I’ll treat her
With a love
She’s never seen
The kind you used to find on
Silver screens
Will she jump?
Does she like needles?
It takes so many pills
To kill that sorrow
She don’t need no melody
She likes metal can’t you see
And she ain’t caging what is free
So get in line if you want a — want a piece
If you ever find her
Tell her that I love her
That I know the past hurts
But I can be her future
She don’t need no melody
She likes metal can’t you see
And she ain’t chaining what is free
So get in line if you want a — a piece

Love in Pain
04:17
|
|||
|
I want to live
Pain free
But he twists it in
Real deep
And when he comes back
He’ll realize
He’s back on his back
A thousand times
Yeah, he’ll never find
The love in pain
But he’s gonna try
Again and again
I want to live
Hate free
But his sadist mind
Seduces me
And when she comes back
She’ll realize
She’s back on her back
One thousand times
Yeah, she’ll never find
The love in pain
But she’s gonna try
Again and again and again and again
There’s no love in pain

Get Out
03:21
|
|||
|
I’ve got something to say
But baby you, keep on walking away
Well, we should get out
Get out of town
Get out on the road
Get out right now
You, say I bitch and complain
That I bring you down, oh man such a downer these days
Well, we should get out
Roll out of town
Forget about the past
Forget about it now

Poor Boy
03:43
|
|||
|
I wonder everyday
Under shade trees with my drink
Why I’m a poor boy, poor boy
Am I the only reason
Behind my own deprivation?
I’m a poor boy, poor boy
Why so many lies
Why so many lies
Why so many lies
Why so many lies
Why so many
I could have worked harder
Or better yet had a wealthy father
I’m a poor boy, poor boy
I look in the mirror
And I see it all so clearer
I’m a poor boy, poor boy
Poor boy, poor
Why so many lies
Why so many lies
Why so many lies
Why so many lies
Why so many lies
Why so many lies
Why so many lies
Why so many lies

Beauty Queen
03:05
|
|||
|
When I’m walking down these LA streets
I pass them fools who wanna be
Mr. Hollywood with skinny thing
‘Like, I’m gonna make it, I’m somebody, just look at me’
Yeah, she’s no beauty queen
And you’re no Steve McQueen
But no one’s asking you to be
Some self-absorbed celebrity
I know what they say behind my back
‘He’s got no fashion, style or class’
Well hey, I can tell a classic from a fad
And honey, you smack of fanny pack
Yeah, you’re no beauty queen
And he’s no Mr. T
I know you think that’s mean to say
But you could use a little honesty

Uncivilized
03:52
|
|||
|
I believe that certain things are just wrong
Like using my day off to wrangle on
But you act like an animal
You go picking a fight, all night
You act like an animal
Breaking everything in sight
I don’t want to fight with you anymore
So quit looking for insults to feel sore
You act like an animal
You go picking a fight, all night
You act like an animal
So uncivilized at times
I wanted for us to get high
I wanted for us to get high, so high
So I could look in your eyes
So I could hold you all night
I just need a night of peace, that’s all I ask
You and me, a bottle of booze, let’s relax
But you act like an animal
You go picking a fight, all night
You act like an animal
Clawing me up, every night
I wanted for us to get high
I wanted for us to get high, so high
So I could gaze your eyes
So I could love you all night, all night

Wall
03:03
|

|
Bet you wanna know how I knew
What’s on your mind this afternoon
Well, everyone loves tragedy
And so did I until it claimed me
I use to be young
Baby just like you
I use to believe
In something too
Then I hit a wall
I hit a wall
So many hopes
So many dreams
So many things
I thought I could be
I hit a wall
I hit a wall
Bet you wonder how it came to be
And what it took to make a man like me
Oh why oh why life’s so unfair
And why just us ended up out here
I use to be young
Baby just like you
I use to believe
In something too
Then I hit a wall
I hit a wall
So many hopes
So many dreams
So many things
I thought I could be
I hit a wall
I hit a wall

Don't Need
03:54
|
|||
|
I look around and I see what I see
Millions of people just doing as they please
Centered on self, they only care about one thing
Just users, abusers, they take and they leave
Now I use to tow that ‘ol party-line
Yeah, I use to preach about helping them kind
But people are people, self-interested slime
They talk public good and then they leave you to die
They don’t need me
She don’t need me
And I don’t need me too
I look around and I see what I see
Millions of people just doing as they please
So centered on self, they only care about one thing
They take what they want and then they just leave
They don’t need me
She don’t need me
And I don’t need me too
