1. LITTLE ELECTRIC CHAIR

You didn't mean to do it
But you did it again
The night started out
Fucking around with your friends
Somebody screamed and things went bad
Now you're standing accused
And the prosectuor says you should be dead
And they're fryin'up your hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up your hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up your hair
In that little electric chair
Fryin' up your hair
In that little electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair
Easy street is nice in a lawless nation
The police puts some flyers in circulation
Stuck one in my door with some scary mugshot
They're looking for some bad boys
Height, weight, age, race, tatoos too
But they're fryin'up that hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up some hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up some hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up that hair
In that little electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair
The people are quietly lusting for blood
They wanna live in peace but they don't wanna budge
From their lazy ways and lazy notions
If the other half's win
Let them eat pigeons
And live in prison
And they're fryin'up that hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up some hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up that hair
In that little electric chair
They'll be fryin'up some hair
In that little electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair
Electric chair

2. PERVERTS IN THE SUN

The USA is moving south
Our power is mostly mouth
Miami beach to Malibu
Hot weather makes them wanna screw
She males, jumps bails
Weird tales on the scales
If it fails chip'n dale
Hit the gym in animal skin
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
Fruit punch
Go to crunch
Take a pill
Lose your will
Get a job, in street promotion
Pushing handbills on the ocean
Gang fights all night
Garbages can's got a tan
Rich men and hungry chicks
Stick'em in the blender, hey big spender
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
O.J, O.J, Jose Sammy too, got nothing to do
The realtor hit the floor
He's disgusted
Wants to get them all busted
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
You guys are perverts
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone
Perverts in the sun
Perving everyone

3. SKULL RING

Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Money
Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Fancy things
The touch of a hand in the wasteland
you're walking asleep and dreaming cheap
A bird's wing don't beat for free
You're freezing cold and your family
Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Money
Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Fancy things
Fingers on fire to do what's bad
Ring on the finger is a skull man
Strong as a bar of steel
Weakness is that you can't feel
Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Money
Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Fancy things
My life is dirtied, my mind is loaded
I'm feeling and breathing and fighting
To see
People get ready now
Baby come on give your heart to me
Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Money
Skull rings
Fast cars
Hot chicks
Fancy things

4. SUPERBABE

I made love to a superbabe
I kinda wondered how I did
It may be pointless to describe her
But she has the power of gravity
She used a voodoo force on me
Big tits high ass
Long legs flat stomach
Helped her cover all my dreams with sleep
She's using mojo energy
Snake hips full lips
Strong things green eyes
Superbabe
White teeth fresh meat
Just like the TV
Superbabe
She's got the wild stuff
Makes love for good luck
Superbabe
Don’t miss with her kiss
Won't duck from a woaaaw
Superbabe
Superbabe
I made love to a superbabe
So tell me what else could I do
Until I couldn't do no more
Or even know what for
Forever and a day
I'm gonna jump on superbabe
Fame, drugs and money cannot save me
And evils everywhere
But here comes superbabe
She's USA prime all the way
One two three four
Who the fuck are we for
Superbabe
Five six seven eight
I can relate superbabe
Don't miss with her kiss
Won't duck from a woaaaw
Superbabe
She's got the wild stuff
Makes love for good luck
Superbabe
Superbabe
Superbabe
Fame, drugs and money cannot save me
Superbabe
Superbabe
It may be pointless to describe her
Superbabe
Superbabe

5. LOSER

Alright
The feet in my boots
Are shaking their roots
For a reason
I'm looking at you
And you're too much to chew
For a reason
And the problems you got
Are the problems you got
For a reason
And what you are not
Is what you are not
For a reason
There's a decadent home
Where there should be control
I can't live anymore
There's a festering truth
Where there should be the truth
I can't live anymore
You wanna blame me
But you got misery
For a reason
And the way that you lose
Is the way that you chose
For a reason
And if this is a slam
I don't give a damn
For a reason
‘Cause the point of this song
Is I'm moving along
For a reason
There's a bottomless pit
And you've got me in it
I can't live anymore
You're a tower of a cruel
And I feel a fool
I can't take it anymore
You're a loser
You're a loser
You're a loser
You're a loser
You're a loser
For a reason
You're a loser
The feet in my boots
Are shaking their roots
For a reason
For a reason
For a reason
For a reason

6. PRIVATE HELL

I have a private hell
Of excellent quality
I've dwelt there for years
Playing with my fears
It's tasteful, luxurious
And full of sexuality
And though they are tears
I control them with my gears
Well all in all
I must tell you
Well I must tell you
I'm so proud of my private hell
Anger and greed brew
And then they stamped
Till I can transmute
Them into more loot
It's tasteful, luxurious
And full of sexuality
And though they are tears
I control them with my gears
Well all in all
I must tell you
Well I must tell you
I'm so proud of my private hell
Well all in all
I must tell you
Well I must tell you
I'm so proud of my private hell

7. LITTLE KNOW IT ALL

I'm the kid that no one knows
I live a life I never chose
With these thoughts in my mind
On my own, my own
I'm face to face with the unknown
My Scary Movie will be shown
I got one evil mind
Of my own, of my own
We take from one another
And never stop to wonder
How it feels from the other side
When nothing lasts forever
When stupid turns to clever
Why are you surprised
Little know it all, little know it all
Ten bucks in my hand
Little know it all, little know it all
Don't cry, I understand
So
I'm a target of the smart
They got ambition, I got heart
I'm analyzed and tagged
Before I start
So tell me, who can I respect
I feel the leash around my neck
As I find out there's shame
In the game
We take from one another
And never stop to wonder
How it feels from the other side
When nothing lasts forever
When stupid turns to clever
Why are you surprised
And I feel like I'm caught outside the box
And I feel like I'm sleeping when I'm not
Look it's for a real thing, it's for a real thing
We take from one another
And never stop to wonder
How it feels from the other side
When nothing lasts forever
When stupid turns to clever
Why are you surprised
Little know it all, little know it all
Ten bucks in my hand
Little know it all, little know it all
Don't cry, I understand
You little know it all, little know it all
Ten bucks in my hand
Little know it all, little know it all
Don't cry, I understand
You never know at all

8. WHATEVER

I'm sitting like a stone
On a solitary evening
Without my girl
Life has no meaning
She didn't say why
And she didn't say what for
she just said: "I've been thinking it over"
And whatever,
Whatever
Whatever
She doesn't want to play
And her voice just fades away
Whatever
The solution to love
I haven't found yet
Does God have curlers and a lairnet
Everything I say comes out
To be a no, no
The feelings I had were the
Only promo
Whatever
Whatever
Whatever
She doesn't want to play
And her voice just fades away
Whatever
Now I'm just one of the Joes
On the corner
I guess I ought to stay home
And watch the porno
I wanna get close
But no one
Will let me
I wish someone would react out
A and get me
Whatever
Whatever
Whatever
She doesn't want to play
And her voice just fades
She doesn't want to play
And her face just fades
She doesn't want to play
And her touch just fades away
Whatever
Whatever
Whatever

9. DEAD ROCK STAR

They think that I've got the bread
They want to read my head
The position show his cool
Like football star in school
Someone to sell me
Someone to tell me
I'm a dead rock star
in a dead rock car
I'm a dead rock star
I'm so afraid of failing
I hang onto the railing
This cold hard graduation
Kills all infatuation
I took the hazing
They said "amazing"
I'm a dead rock star
in a dead rock car
I'm a dead rock star
I gathered awful knowledge
You cannot get in college
Would you like Cain or Abel
I'll bring them to the table
They try to rope me
They try to grope me
I'm a dead rock star
in a dead rock car
I'm a dead rock star
What can I hope for
What can I hope for
Nothing to live for
Nothing to live for
I'm a dead rock star
in a dead rock car
I'm a dead rock star

10. ROCK SHOW

Rock show
You came to see a rock show
A big gigantic cock show
You came to see it all
Rock show
You came to hear it
You came to sear it
You came to do it all
If you think you're gonna
Get it for credit
Forget it
Don't bet
Call the medic
He's pathetic
He's got to let it go
Let's go
Rock show
Come on
Rock show
You came to see a rock show
This isn't a fucking talk show
You came to see it all
Rock show
You came to fear it
You came to sear it
You came to do it all
It's me you want for credit
Forget it
Don't panic
Call in the medic
He's pathetic
He's got to let it go
Cause if you gonna get it
For credit
Forget it
Don't bet it
Call in the medic
It's pathetic
He's gonna let it go
Let's go
Rock show
Come on
Rock show
Let's go
Rock show
Let's go
Rock show

11. HERE COMES THE SUMMER

12. MOTOR INN

I met a little girl
With a heart of stone
She said she wanna give me
An instant bone
I took her for a ride
In my classic car
We didn't even stop
At a whiskey bar
Her titties look hard
And her booty's got a rise
Soon my hands will be
Where I'm putting my eyes
Steady energy and urgency
We got out of the car
Now here we are
At the motor inn
At the motor inn
At the motor inn
I guess we're living in sin
She's got 3 kids and a husband at home
He doesn't have a clue how to make her groan
I'm waiting in the room gonna do it like hell
Come on baby, come on baby ring my bell
At the motor inn
At the motor inn
At the motor inn
I guess we're living in sin
There's gonna be a war
So we gotta be quick
The place is full of desperate, horny
Chicks and dicks
The ex-president is in number six
I hard can hardly wait to get my licks
At the motor inn
At the motor inn
At the motor inn
Baby we're living in sin
At the motor inn
At the motor inn
At the motor inn
Baby we're living in sin
Baby do you wanna, do you wanna, do you wanna
I wanna
Baby are you gonna, are you gonna, are you gonna
I'm gonna
Baby do you got it, do you got it, do you got it
I got it
Oh, I fucking know you got it
Oh, I fucking know you got it
Girl I know you got it, baby
Yeah you got it, I got it
Yeah I know you got it, baby yeah you got it
Well I got a he look so fine
I got a whose titties are mine
Great big titties
Titties
Big brown titties
I love those titties, I love those titties
You love them
At the motor in
Motor in

I guess we're living in sin
Let's motor
All right, let's fucking motor
You wanna motor
I take you to the motor in
Taking me to the fucking motor in
At the motor in
At the motor in
At the motor in
At the motor in

13. INFERIORITY COMPLEX

Standing on the poop deck of a wreck
Inferiority complex
Waiting for the tugboat of respect
Inferiority complex
Trying to see the good side of a bad life
Showing real courage with a sad wife
Your soul is full of holes air could blow through
People that you meet don't want to know you
People are strange when they don't respect
Inferiority complex
People are mean when they get the chance
Won't anybody have this dance
People are weird when they don't respect
Inferiority complex
Are you heel or just a toe
It's hard to say cause you feel so low
The man is eying and you like a suspect
Inferiority complex
Your every word is something to correct
Inferiority complex
Everything about you repels sunshine
Every deep desire leaves you flat lined
Walking trough the world you leave no traces
You don't feel a part of any places
People are strange when there's no respect
Inferiority complex
People are bad when they get the chance
Won't anybody have this dance
People are strange when there's no respect
Inferiority complex
It's hard to say when you're down so low
So low
Inferior but not a bore
Inferior but not a bore
Inferior but not a bore
Inferior but not a bore

14. SUPERMARKET

I'm sitting in the supermarket
On the disposable shelf
I'm kinda like a sandwich
I kinda need some help
Most people they pass me up
Some stop and buy
But when they take me home
They never look in my eye
The supermarket shelf is a lie
I know, we saw
The guy from the record company
Makes me wanna die
Everybody sells and everybody buys
People who don't like that get blood in the eye
Everybody sells and everybody buys
People who don't like that get blood
Get blood in the eye
I'm proud of the corporate logo
Written on my box
It says that I'm ok
For the company stock
What I am I do not own
I don't know who does
Maybe any, some institution
With no flesh, flesh or blood
The supermarket shelf is a lie
I know, we saw
The guy from the record company
Makes me wanna die
Everybody sells and everybody buys
People who don't like that get blood in the eye
Everybody sells and everybody buys
People who don't like that get blood
Get blood in the eye
Everybody sells and everybody buys
Everybody sells and everybody buys
Everybody sells and everybody buys
Everybody sells and everybody buys

15. ’TIL WRONG FEELS RIGHT

I took a pounding
From the radio today
I heard the radio say some piece of shit
Was it the sound of today
I took a biting 'beating
When I saw my TV play, I saw my TV play
Over and over
And there were no escape
The box is hallow
And that riff is fucking dead
That riff is fucking dead
But the riff is pounding
In my fucking head
They're gonna push it
Until false is true
Until day is night
They're gonna push it baby
Until wrong feels right
Until wrong feels right
It's a big industry
And they can beat my brain
With houses and wars and chains
They are insane
Yeah
But they can beat my brain
God and his captains
They won't pull a fucking plug
They won't pull a fucking plug
And give the skies
Back to the birds and bugs

16. BLOOD ON YOUR COOL

Sun shining on my Rolls
Why living I don't know
Two-thirds habitual
One-third is ritual
How cool are the songs I sing
How cool is anything
Good sex good shit good sleep
I'm spying
That check was pretty big
I'll spend it pretty quick
My body's pretty shot
I'm dying
Everyday is a duel with the fool with the blood on your cool
Every night is a he hawing mule when there's blood on your cool
Everyone that you meet is a ghoul when there's blood on your cool
Cruelty will be your school when there's blood on your cool
Blood of the cool
That check was pretty big
Grab hold and then grab more
Didn't have to look too far
I learned this from rock stars
Soul fights against the beast
Beast has a world for feed
A world of cruelty
Doesn't do shit for free
Birds singing I am sad
Soul leaves but I'm not mad
Oh, fuck it, yes I am
It's either me or them
Sun up, big see is blue
Not working how about you
Don't even fight the weather
That makes me feel better
Wide moon of memory
Big voice inside of me
Short time to live and die
Quick fading live of lies
I think about it when i get old
Payment for being bold
Might be a crown but still
I might get a fucking bill
