1. Suicide's An Alternative / You'll Be Sorry

Sick of people-no one's real
Sick of chicks-they're all bitches
Sick of you-you're too hip
Sick of life-it sucks

Suicide's an alternative

Sick of trying-what's the point
Sick of talking-no one listens
Sick of listening-it's all lies
Sick of thinking-just end up confused
sick of myself-don't wanna live
Sick and tired-and no one cares
Sick of life-it sucks

Sick of politics-for the rich
Sick of power-only oppresses
Sick of government-full of tyrants
Sick of school-total brainwash
Sick of music-top-40 sucks
Sick of myself-don't wanna live
Sick and tired-and no one cares
Sick of life-it sucks

Suicide's an alternative

Sick of life-it sucks
Sick and tired-and no one cares
Sick of myself-don't wanna live
Sick of living-I'm gonna die

Suicide's an alternative

Well I've got a little story to tell
About a little red-assed punk that came from Hell
He said Satan's been lookin especially for me
He said Satan's got a paper gonna set your body free
He said power and glory, bitches for screwin'
All in your name and all for you today

Oh yeah
Power and fame, all in your name
All the gold and bitches you ever could have

Oh yeah
You'll have power, fame, all in your name
All that you want, all that you need
Everything that you ever could read
Anything anything that you ever would need
Well sign the paper that's all you do
Sign the paper it's ready too
Anything there it's all for you
Well this is all you got to do

So I looked him in the eye and I said
"Fuck you you little red-assed goblined-breathed horned-hed motherfucker!"
Cause I don't care too much about gold
And I don't really give a fuck about what you've been told
And I don't really care for anyone looking after me
Cause I'm a meaner son of a bitch than that fuck ever could be


2. Two-Sided Politics

I'm not anti-society, society is anti-me
I'm not anti-religion, religion is anti-me
I'm not anti-anything, I just wanna be free

Fascist state, no freedom
Unless you control yourself
Use self-expression, lose your freedom
You're undesirable, go straight to jeail

Kill someone in a war
Get a medal, you're a hero
Protect yourself in everyday war
You're a minority, you go straight to jail

I'm not anti, anti's anti-me
I'm not anti-government, government's anti-me
I'm not anti-politics, politics is anti-me
I'm not anti-anything, I just wanna be free

Innocent, never guilty
High-class lawyer, you are rich
If you're poor, must be guilty
Even if innocent, you go straight to jail


3. Subliminal

Flashing pictures on my screen
Shown too quickly to be seen
Does not register in my conscious mind
Propaganda of another kind
They're fucking with me subliminally
They're fucking with me subliminally

[CHORUS]
Danger-nightmare
Doomsday-nightmare
Murder-nightmare
Nightmare-nightmare

Watching TV, I start to cry
For no reason, I don't know why
Could it be from messages on my TV
Which I'm getting subliminally?
They're fucking with me subliminally
They're fucking with me subliminally

[CHORUS]

Mind control the easiest way
Sponsored by the CIA
It's a weapon you cannot see
It's propaganda subliminally
They're fucking with me subliminally
They're fucking with me subliminally

[CHORUS]


4. I Shot The Devil

I shot Reagan, I shot Sadat
I'm gonna shot you dead in heaven you'll rot
You're gonna rot in heave, hear an angel's voice
You're too bad for hell, although it's you first choice

Rot in heave, you're too bad for hell
Rot in heaven, cause you're fogiven in hell

I shot Lennon, I shot the Pope
I shot the devil, now you ain't got no hope
You're gonna rot in heaven, hear an angel's voice
You're too bad for hell although it's your first choice


5. Won't Fall In Love Today

Baby, don't you be blue
You know that I'll always be true
You know know that I'll always love you
And we'll always be together, too

[CHORUS]
Over a thousand things I can say to you
Half of which would be un-true
But the one thing for sure I can say
Is that I won't fall in love today

Baby when you hold me tight
You know everything will be alright
So let's not take any time to fight
Because you know I love you with all my might

[CHORUS]

Baby, you make me feel like a man
When we're rolling in the sand
So come and take me by the hand
And do the things you know we can

[CHORUS]


6. Institutionalized

[Mike Muir/Mayorga]

Sometimes I try to do things and they just don't turn out the way I want em to.
And I get real frustrated and it's like, I take my time and I try real hard
And no matter what I do, and no matter what I try
It never works out.
And it's like, I concentrate on it real hard, but it never works out
And it's like, I need some time to figure these things out.
But there's always someone there going

Hey Mike:
You know, we've been noticing you have a lot of problems lately.
You know, and like maybe you should talk about it, you'll feel a lot better

And I go:
No it's okay, I'm having some problems, I'll figure it out myself, just leave me alone.
I'll figure it out.

And they go:
Why don't you talk about it? You'll feel a lot better.

And I go:
No I don't want to! Just leave me alone, I'll figure it out myself!

And they just keep on bugging me and it builds up inside
And it builds up inside

So you're gonna be institutionalized
You'll come out brainwashed with bloodshot eyes
You won't have any say
They'll brainwash you until you see their way.

I'm not crazy - institutionalized
You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized
You're driving me crazy - institutionalized

They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy, myself

I was in my room and I was like staring at the walls thinking about
Everything but then again I was thinking about nothing
And then my mom came in and I didn't even know she was there and she called my name
And I didn't hear it, and then she started screaming MIKE! MIKE!
And I go:
What, what's the matter?
And she goes:
What's the matter with you?
I said:
Nothing, mom
And she goes:
Don't tell me nothing, you're on drugs!
I go:
No mom I'm not on drugs I'm okay, I'm just thinking you know, why don't you get me a pepsi?
And she goes:
NO you're on drugs! You're crazy! Normal people don't be acting that way.
I go:
Mom I'm alright, I'm just thinking, you know. So why don't you like get me a pepsi?
And she goes:
No, you're crazy!
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me.
Just one Pepsi.

They give you a white shirt with long sleeves
Tied around you're back, you're treated like thieves
Drug you up because they're lazy
It's too much work to help a crazy

I'm not crazy - institutionalized
You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized
You're driving me crazy - institutionalized

They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy, myself

I was sitting in my room and my mom and my dad came in and they pulled up a chair and they sat down,
They go:
Mike, we need to talk to you
And I said:
Okay what's the matter?
They go:
Me and your mom have been noticing lately you've been having a lot of problems,
And you haven't been acting like yourself.
And we're afraid that you're gonna hurt somebody.
And we're afraid that you're gonna hurt yourself.
So we decided that it would be in your interest if we put you somewhere
Where you could get the help that you need.
And I said:
Wait, what are we talking about? We decided!? My best interest?!
How can you know, how can you say what my best interest is?
What are you trying to say, I'm crazy?
When I went to your schools, I went to your churches, I went to your institutional learning facilities?!
So how can you say that I'm crazy.

They say they're gonna fix my brain
Alleviate my suffering and my pain
But by the time they fix my head
Mentally I'll be dead

I'm not crazy - institutionalized
You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized
You're driving me crazy - institutionalized

They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy, myself

It doesn't matter I'll probably get hit by a car anyway.


7. War Inside My Head

[Mike Muir/Mayorga]

War inside my head
War inside my head
War inside my head
War inside my head

War inside my head ain't a pretty sight
But I don't want no sympathy
It's happened a thousand times before
It's just a harsh reality

[CHORUS]
War inside my head-can you sense it
War inside my head-can you see it
War inside my head-can you feel it
War inside my head

Can you hear the-pain
Can you see the-pain
Can you sense the-pain
Can you feel the-pain
Can you help the-pain
Can you fix the-pain
Can you taste the-pain
Can you hear the war inside my head

The only thing real is the way I feel
And that's the pain that's deep inside
That battle from within is gonna begin
And there ain't nowhere to hide

[CHORUS]

War inside my head every night and day
I never get no piece of mind
It ought to be a sin, I just can't win
And pure hell is all I find

[CHORUS]


8. Don't Give Me Your Nothin'

[Suicidal Tendencies]

Don't you give me give me give me your borrowed time
Don't you give me give me give me your recycled line
Who do you think you are?
You must think you're something

Don't you give me give me give me you're here to help me
Got to get with the program, I don't need no charity
I don't need shit and you ain't nothing

And if I made a perfect world you'd be gone
Don't give me give me give me your misguided help
Don't give me your nothin', I can do it myself
Well I don't want shit and I don't need nothing

Don't you give me give me give me your look of concern
I don't need your meddling when you gonna learn
Well you ain't shit and you ain't nothin'

Well I just made my perfect world-oops you're gone
Well now you know what it feels like not to belong-so long

So don't you give me give me give me your nothing-no
Don't you give me give me give me your nothing-no
Don't you give me give me give me your nothing-no

Don't give me your second-hand sympathy
Don't give me your nothin', just let me be
Who do you think you are?
You must think you're something

Don't you give me give me give me your worried tone
You can't fool me with that crap just leave me alone
And I don't need it, I don't need nothing

Now I have a perfect world, now you're gone-oh oh oh
Don't give me your nothin', don't give me your nothin'

Don't give me give me give me that "What did I do?"
You don't have to do nothing, you're just being you
I'll tell you why, you ain't nothing

If you make your perfect world you will find
The only place that's perfect is in your mind
What's perfect for you is like a hell for me
Two perfect worlds, it just cannot possibly be-oh oh oh oh

Don't give me your nothin'
Don't give me give me give me your "I'll be there"
I don't believe how you lie, you don't care
Don't give me your shit, don't give me your nothin'

Don't give me give me give me your "I love you"
They just are words and the words ain't true
You're full of shit, your words mean nothing

ANd I just made my perfect world, now you're gone
And in my perfect world your perfect world don't belong-so long

No no-don't give me your nothin'
No no-don't give me your nothin'
No no-don't give me your nothin'
No no-don't give me your nothin'


9. Memories Of Tomorrow

B-1 bombers in flight
Trident missiles in the air
MX missiles underground
Protect us till we're dead

[CHORUS]
Memories of tomorrow-too late for sorrow

Push the button
Kiss goodbye the nuclear arsenal
A-bombs flying off their ramps
Nuclear bombs explode

[CHORUS]

Radioactive people
Search for medicine
Pray for shelter
Kill for food

[CHORUS]

Mass starvation
Contaminated water
Destroyed cities
Mutilated bodies

[CHORUS]

I'll kill myself
I'd rather die
If you could see in the future
You'd know why

Memories of tomorrow


10. Possessed

When I go down the street
The people watch me shiver and shake
I'm a prisoner of a demon
I think my head's about to break
it stays with me wherever I go
I can't break away from its hold
This must be punishment
For selling my soul

[CHORUS]
Too much pressure my pulse is rising
My heart is pounding my head really hurts
I can't take it all this pressure
From all these things inside of me
Everywhere I look I see them
Everywhere I go they're at
What did I do to deserve this
Why won't they just leave my body

Are they people or are they spirits
Do they belong to the human race
Why do they want me so bad
Why won't they come out of their hiding place
I can't see them but I know they're here
I can feel it in my veins
All this pressure on my body
Is causing all my strength to drain

[CHORUS]

Am I crazy or am I insane
Or have I already lost my mind
Is it real or is it fake
Or am I in a permanent bind
Am I in power or am I a slave
Who in the hell is in control
Am I still living or am I dead
Do I still have a soul

I know I can't keep going this way
I have to give my mind some leisure
If I keep on going like this
I never again will taste pleasure
If they will not break the oath
I will have to disband
I have lost all control
This thing has now taken command
Possessed


11. I Saw Your Mommy

Yesterday as I went out of the house
I saw a body lying down quiet as a mouse
She was lying face down in the sewer
What you do-I got up closer and realized that I knew her
What you see-All her organs comingfrom her inside
That's nasty-Slashed up skin, sliced-up hide
Tell me some more-Turned her over and saw the tire tracks on her head
Then what-That's when I realized she was dead

[CHORUS]
Twisted body, chopped-off feet
her body was minced meat
Bust crawling on her arms
She's dead can't do no harm
Gnarled-up legs, broken and bent
Her last breath has been spent

I wonder how much you had to pay
To get your mom killed in such a bloody way

I saw your mommy and your mommy's dead
I watched her as she bled
Well she had-Chewed-off toes on her chopped-off feet
Say what?-I took a picture 'cause I thought it was neat
That's cold-But the thing I like seeing the best
What's that-Was the rodents using her hair as a nest
Damn-I saw your mommy and your mommy's dead
I saw your mommy and your mommy's dead

[CHORUS]

I know it is your allowance that you'll really miss
But make it look good at her funeral and give her a kiss

I saw your mommy and your mommy's dead
I saw her lying in a pool of read-And she doesn't know how to swim
I think it's the greatest thing I'll ever see-What's that?
Your dead mommy lying in front of me
I'll always remember her lying dead on the floor
I hope she dies twenty times more

I saw your mommy and your mommy is dead
I saw your mommy and your mommy is dead
I saw her, I saw her...mommy
I saw your mommy


12. Fascist Pig

Tense atmosphere in the air
Riot written everywhere
Riot squads coming from over there
Time to go home if you're square

[CHORUS]
Riot squad bas their heads
Kick their ass until they're dead
I want to be a fascist pig
Love to fight what a thrill
We don't stop until we kill
I want to be a fascist pig

Throw a bottle in the air
Put them up to their dare
We'll just laugh while they stare
Let them hit me see if I care

[CHORUS]

Get attacked by them
You'll never heal
They'll rob your conscience
Your sanity they'll steal
They'll beat your brains until they spill
That's the fascist favorite meal

[CHORUS]


13. A Little Each Day

Took a walk down under the street
Never thought that I'd see the day I would meet
Came and whispered in my ear
But I treid to pretend that I didn't hear
Turned my head and I walked away
I treid to forget what they had to say
Put on a smile and I tried to hide
But I couldn't keep myself from crying inside

[CHORUS]
Oh I...So I turned my head and I walked away
Oh I...And I tried to forget what he had to say
Oh I...And I chalked it up as another day
Oh I say...I died a little today

Took a journey through my brain
And they saw the scars and they felt my pain
Saw the things I din't want to find
Knew the dreams I had over a bottle of wine
Thought if I lied I was oigng to win
But they said the battle wouldn't even begin
Thought about the lies that I said to myself
But I knew it's too late to find the help

[CHORUS]


14. I Want More

[Mike Muir/Mayorga]

In times of trouble fall to my knees and I look to the sky
Cause me, me I want more
The classification of our heart's a sin
Cause me, me I want more

Don't wanna pump nobody's gas-I want more
Don't wanna kiss my boss's ass-I want more
Don't wanna take the first job I find-I want more
Don't wanna dig coal out of a mine-I want more

[CHORUS]
Slaving in a factory, a differnt kind of insanity
Feels like I'm locked in a cage
Working like a maniac, gave myself a heart attack
For a job that pays minimum wage

Don't wanna work at the golden arches-I want more
Don't wanna was no rich man's cars-I want more
Don't wanna be nobody's gardener-I want more
Don't wanna be no garbage man-I want more

[CHORUS]

I sit and reflect about all that I've learned and all that I've seen
Cause me me I want more
The memories come and they go away
Cause me me I want more

Don't wanna pump nobody's gas-I want more
Don't wanna kiss my boss's ass-I want more
Don't wanna take the first job I find-I want more
Don't wanna dig coal out of a mine-I want more
I want more


15. Suicidal Failure

Father forgive me for I know not what I do
I tried everything but I'll leave it up to you
I don't want to live, I don't know why
I don't have no reasons, I just want to die

[CHORUS]
I'm a suicidal failure, I've got to get some help
I have suicidal tendencies but I can't kill myself

I'm tired of this way of life, my patience has expried
I'm barely jsut 20 but my life I will retire
I went down to a rifle store, I bought myself a gun
I point it at my head but I couldn't get the job done

[CHORUS]

I took all my mother's sleeping pills
I jumped off a freeway bridge
I drank three kinds of poison
And drove my car off a ridge
I beat myself with a bat
Put a noose around my head
I overdosed on heroin
But I'm still not dead

[CHORUS]

Death may not be the answer
It can't be all that great
But me I'm not into living
With life I can't relate
By some masochistic reasoning I think that it will be fun
I want to start my second life now
So shoot me with your gun

[CHORUS]

I'm looking forward-suicidal
I'm really bored-suicidal
You wanna die-suicidal
Then die-suicidal

Honestly-suicidal
At the game-suicidal
At my school-suicidal
At the bar-suicidal

Suicidal
Suicidal
Suicidal
Suicidal
