Lyrics



1. Everything’s Fucked

Head is up your arsehole as you move along
Walk around pretending that there is nothing wrong
Don't like thinking of whose getting your rent or,
Environment, religion or the government,
My car's running well on human blood Olympics build on toxic mud
Whose going to keep it so clean and tidy,
and who plays the keyboards in Killing Heidi

Not trying to tell you to do nothing about it
If there is something to say don't say it shout it
I used to think the worst thing was my footrot
Stupid me, then my heart stopped
Now everything is fucked!

People searching endlessly for someone to believe,
Everone is addicted to real TV
En-vironmental fuckups everyday of the month
What happens, when the Prime Minister is a racist little bugger
The gap is ever widdening, the rich and the poor
People go to prison just for breaking the law
TV is not the same without Mike Whitney,
Well roll me over and call my Brittney
Now everything is fucked!

Not trying to tell you to do nothing about it
If there is something to say don't say it shout it
I used to think the worst thing was my chest cough
Stupid me, then my heart stopped
Now everything is fucked!



2. Had Enough

I've had enough, morning papers chill me to the bone,
Eyes sewn shut, stilted conversation breaking up,
Heads cracking up, biological depression, drugs aren't enough,
The travesty of science waking up, I've had enough,
My thinning blood, reaction-based anxiety, I've had enough,
Frustration isn't helping, turning black, decisions suck,
Immobilised from hair down to my feet blue coming up,
Optimism wretched in my throat, no working parts,
Broken like a train disaster, I've had enough,
My thinning blood, reaction-based anxiety,
I've had enough, my thinning blood, concentrated therapy,
No getting out, no question of a head start fair or fake,
No getting up, knuckles smashing windows in my wake,
Like throwing up, nausea restricting loving host,
Mistrusted start, chemical replacement in my head,
I've had enough, my thinning blood, reaction based anxiety
I've had enough, my thinning blood, concentrated therapy



3. Runaway

I've been living on a quarter of speed
And I don't want to die, damn near drown in a pile of sick,
No I don't want to die, smashed up face in a parking lot
Fucked up head from too much pot
Gotta run away

Come down hard in the light of day, I know the reason why
Self-centred fuck faced son of a bitch
Not cool to live a lie, lets go out in the sity tonight,
Making a scene then doing it twice,
Gotta run away

Time runs out at the best of times
Can't go back to the end of the line
Gotta run away



4. Coming Home

I need to cut my fingernails,
And I avoid reflections they're not help to my cause,
I quote a line from a movie that seems funny at the time,
No I won't say it again, I had a dream that I learnt to write,
on the phone I can't get the time right,
On the next train when it comes now I'm coming home,
I get excited by an interesting moment,
Then I liken it to something that I've heard of before,
I try to censor all my senses at once resulting in the fact that I am terminally bored,
I was born to stay awake, I don't want to think of how much more I can take,
I'll catch the next train when it comes,
Now I'm coming home, I lay wake and I dream of sleep,
Well I'm no good with numbers so I'm fucking all the sheep,
My eyes are closed but my mine is closed too,
I don't know what that means so I won't say it again,
Such a straggle to stay awake, don't want to think of how much more I can take,
I guess the bus is leaving soon, now I'm coming home.

Enough said, too much room in my heard, I'm missing all our dying plants,
I miss the warm bed, a longing sense is so hard to attack,
I think of all the good things now I want to comes back,
I'm not complaining about the life I'm in,
If I did I wouldn't know where to begin,
So I will shut up, turn on the light, now I'm coming home
Well I'm on the next train when it comes, now I'm coming home,
And I guess the bus is leaving soon, now I'm coming home.



5. Weekend (also known as - All Hail The Weekend)

Kneel down, to the one who loves,
Every little thing about you, that you're not confident of,
Pray, to the one who waits, for five long days of torment,
that make you sauvate,

Have faith, in what creates,
An overwhelming sense of freedom, in which we all relate,
Fall down, doesn't meen you're meek,
Looking forward to the nightmare of the working week,


Monday's made for fighting, tuesday's made of shit,
And if the other three days would go away the weekend would last a week,

Packed full of broken hearts,
And plans to write a movie even got someone to play the part,
Big words, and big ideas,
To put them into action needs another beer,

Monday's made for fighting, tuesday's made of shit,
And if the other three days would go away the weekend would last a week,
All hail the weekend, it makes no difference to me,
where it ends is still a mystery,

Laugh, you're not alone,
In feeling trapped inside this cycle on your own
Break out, It's not too late,
Protecting your identity the most imporatant thing today,

All hail the weekend, it makes no difference to me,
Where it ends is still a mystery,
Monday's made for fighting, tuesday's made of shit,
And if the other three days would go away the weekend would last a week,
All hail the weekend, it makes no difference to me,
Where it ends is still a mystery.



6. Home Made Video

You shook us all up
You tripped us all out
You want to go far
At home you're a star
To tell you the truth
I didn't know it was you
Beyond the limit, so poorly lit
It's alright, you can't see your face at all
It's alright, you can see your
weren't so obscene, 'til the cinema queen
We weren't to know, put on quite a show
It's alright, you can't see your face at all
It's alright, you can't see your face
And now my blood runs cold
As my memory unfolds
In the background it was raining
Those familiar sounds
Bury my head in my hands
On the screen my face is smiling
It's alright



7. The Best Guy

Like to think I'm the best there is at putting myself down
Here's to looking at trading places with anyone in town
The way you light that cigarette
The smoke never hits your eyes
Wishing I was you, you're the best guy
So good looking and confident
When you're lacking personality
Nothing matters when you back it up with five beers
A line of speed, scintillating conversation
I know that I should try
Wishing I was you you're the best guy
Now I stand in front of you
I hope that I could die
Wishing I was you you're the best guy
As many friends as there are bodies placed in your field of view
Does that explain why I'm so incensed when you do the things you do
Jealousy's the most destructive, a bitter waste of time
Wishing I was you you're the best guy
Well I lost my fait in everything, severed all my ties
Wishing I was you you're the best guy



8. Dance-ecution

I'll keep moving till the day I die
Dance-ecution
I feel the rhythm till my final hour
Dance-ecution
I'm not feeling so low, dancing on death row
Boogie my way to the guillotine
Dance-ecution
Electric chair's not so obscene
Dance-ecution
Feet won't stop moving alas, waiting for the gas
Upon our judgement day, we'll dance the night away
Bring new meaning to 'that swinging sound'
Dance-ecution
Do the marimba 6 feet underground
Dance-ecution
I'm not feeling so low, dancing on death row
Upon our judgment day, we'll dance the night away
Don't have to move a lot, in front of the firing squad
Lethal injection's no pain, when you do that charlston again



9. Nothing’s Wrong

Sad day for freedom
Fall and you believe them
Tell you that you life has just been worthless and shit
Well I don't like to lose you're asking me to choose
Well get the fuck away from me and get over it
Nothing's wrong
I don't feel comfortable in the Emperor's new clothes
I talked of ecstasy, you said I'll have one of those
I wouldn't listen no I wouldn't change my mind
I'll be alright, you'll be fine
Something's wrong, there's something wrong
There's something don't you see
That there's nothing wrong, there's nothing wrong
There's nothing wrong with me
I talked of politics, you were easily led
Even if I know nothing about any government
You wouldn't listen and I wouldn't change my mind
You'll be alright, I'll be fine
Nothing wrong, nothing wrong
You never noticed all around has turned to shit
It doesn't bother you a bit



10. Rats In The Walls

Hey there believers
Best thing I can do is keep you all in the dark
Hey there believers
Thank you for another sympathetic remark
But I can see who is watching over me
Only dark clouds break, wash the filth into the sea
My revelations, was not that good but it's still locking me in
My medication, it hold me stable and it's keeping me thin
But wait and see I am not some prodigy
And I can't love all these angels after me
Well don't pick me up when I crash to the ground
Don't try and stop me falling
Have a drink when I'm waiting for the final call
Don't you rescue me
With the worms in the bedroom and the rats in the walls
It's a wonder I get anything done at all
With the bottle and the pipe and the cards up-faced
I never ever ever want to leave this place
Well don't pick me up when I crash to the ground
Don't try and stop me falling
Have drink when I'm hungry for the final call
Don't you rescue me
Well should I feel ashamed when our heroes weep?
Is that the sound I hear as I go to sleep?
When god's in his heaven all is wring with the world
Don't you rescue me



11. Cheer Up

I thought I saw you crying on the stage
It must have been embarrassing
for some of your age
Success can't be that fun
You sweat, it makes your makeup run
I guess that's why you're full of all that rage
It seems as though we're left behind
'cause we're just normal guys
Haven't got the cash to empathise
Just cheer up
Get over it
Cheer up you little whinging shit
You bear your soul upon the lyric sheet
The pain you feel behind closed doors
of your penthouse suite
The tour bus and the backstage pass
The record company kiss your arse
The heavy burden of celebrity
It's not really hard to bear
Fucking easy life
And maybe one day you will realise
Open up your eyes and
Cheer up
It's the lucky few
That do the job you do
Now let me wipe away those tears
Take another pill, I'll buy you one of those expensive beers
Send a statement to the press
We'll talk about professional stress
They don't know the pain you feel
of another million dollar deal
So cheer up
Don't be such a nob
If it's so damn hard get a fucking job
Things don't look that bad
You're rich so don't be sad
Chief there's nothing wrong
You're not in Frenzal Rhomb, so fucking cheer up.



12. Local Resident Failure

Black it out
Like a war-torn city
Black it out
I still deny
I will decide
I will deny
Positively charged most of the time
Take a breath and toe the line
I never want to fill this space
Block it out
When the bright light's hurting
Block it out
Still pretend
It all depends
I will pretend
That nothing went wrong along the way
No regrets
I hear me say
Looking up from both sides now
I still feel the same
I don't feel the same
Next stop alternative failure
Today isn't turning out that good
Feel like the local resident failure
But I still feel misunderstood
Cut it out
Round the headlines flashing
Cut it out
I'm allowed
Unique mistakes
Yeah, I'm allowed
Drive me away to a better place
Start to believe that I'm a stupid waste
Time moves quicker in my wake
I still feel the same, no I don't feel the same
Next stop, alternative failure
Today isn't turning out that good
Feel like the local resident failure
And I still feel misunderstood
Flat knocked down in a city street
Machine won't let me go to sleep
It's obvious today is not my day
Must have offended someone before
Six men kicking through my door
Apparently today is not my day
Black it out, black it out
Still pretend, I will pretend
That nothing went wrong along the way
No regrets I hear me say
Looking up from both sides now
I don't feel the, I still feel the same
Chemicals spilt in the bathroom sink
Another cockroach in my drink
Apparently today is not my day
Clearly now today is not my day



13. War

Lights out on the street tonight
Walking alone in the fading light
Vague sounds of a distant band
The desperate howls of a one night stand
Thin smile and clenching fist
Scoping tags like sniffing piss
Stay in control as the tension mounts
Magnetic pull from north to south
And I wish I had the resolution
skills to walk away
It never happens quite that way
Do you want to start a war?

Base thump on the stereo
Tongue tied and I want to know
Cut and dried, I'm all cut up
Sting like amphetamines and ready to go
And I wish I had the resolution
skills to walk away
It never happens quite that way
Do you want to start a war?

Do you want to stand up and keep your head held high?
Can you place yourself on the other side?
Do you remember what you're fighting for?
Do you really want to start a war?
Always searching for some answers or some cigarettes
I'd be happy either way.
Do you want to start a war?



14. Sodom The Clown

Once twice, his shoes are oversibed,
He's got three, or four, friends bur never more
Try and squash in the car, drive around in circles,
Until he goes crash, we find,
There's other things on his mind,

He's so happy, but that's not that funny, sodom the clown,
He makes us smile and frown,

He loves to dance, and play those funny games,
Now that the lights are off, whispering our names,
Wiping the smile away, it' not a happy day,
Out that's just the way it goes,
Oh that's not a red nose,

He's so happy, but that's not that funny, sodom the clown,
He loves to bring us down,

We laugh, we cry, if it hurts we don't ask why,
We laugh, we cry, cross our hearts and hope to die,
We laugh, we cry, if it hurts we don't ask why,
We laugh, we cry, cross our hearts and hope to die

Blowing ballons, no ones immune,
Hum a sad, sad tune,
Flower squirts your face,
Spending his life disgrace,

We laugh, we cry, if it hurts we don't ask why,
We laugh, we cry, cross our hearts and hope to die,
We laugh, we cry, if it hurts we don't ask why,
We laugh, we cry, cross our hearts and hope to die,
We laugh, we cry, we laugh, we cry,
We laugh, we cry, we laugh, we cry,



15. I Love Fucking Up

I liked you better you were running on top
Taught you to dance and you told me to stop
Get on the freeway at two hundred and five
That's not the limit when you're learning to drive
I always marvel at decisions I make
Eight hundred thousand two hundred and fifty mistakes
No good a fighting and I'm no good in bed
Thought it was raining when you pissed down my leg
I'm having trouble with my Saturday night
Thought your stool sample was vegemite
I broke my arm when I was going berserk
And now I play the guitar but my fingers don't work
'cause I love fucking up
I got a stereo I couldn't afford
I got a mobile and I asked for a cord
Two speed automatic washing machine
I took it to the Laundromat to get my clothes clean
I always wonder at the decisions I make
Twenty seven hundred thousand stupid mistakes
'cause I love fucking up
I thought I can't get no satisfaction was by the Rollins band
And I can't get no girly action unless it's with my hand
Another funny anecdote, at my expense
I didn't find it that funny, thought it didn't make sense
Sentences I can't construct
Teenagers I will corrupt
'cause I love fucking up
I thought I can't get no satisfaction was by the Rollins band
And I can't get no girly action unless it's with my hand
If the the deaf dumb blind kid gave a speech then I would interrupt
'casue I love fucking up



16. Don’t Let The Bastards Keep You Down

Ever felt you've been at the bottom of the barrel
There isn't any sunlight and there's no room to extend your arms and legs
Have you ever felt like someone's always criticising everything about you
Don't let the bastards keep you down
Don't let them no don't let the ones that you trusted
Loyalty for granted
When it comes to the crunch and you don't know where to turn they'll try
and make you believe them, it's in your best interests
But they're not the ones that burn
Don't let the bastards keep down
Don't let them, no don't let them
And I can't help falling in love with you
