Lyrics


1. ISREAL'S SON

Hate is what I feel for you
And I want you to know that I want you dead
You're late for the execution
If you're not here soon, I'll kill your friend instead

[Chorus]
All the pain I feel
Couldn't start to heal
Although I would like it to

I hate you and your apathy
You can leave, you can leave, I don't want you here
I'm playing this pantomime
But I don't see you showing any signs of fear

[Chorus]

This time I'm for real
My pain can not heal
You will be dead when I'm through

[Chorus]

Pain and execution
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air
The air... yeah

I am, I am Israel's son
Israel's son I am
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air


2. PAINT PASTEL PRINCESS

It's only self rejection
With a mean left
Cold carbon copied coping
And it's mean theft
That's been left behind
Paint pastel princess
Bo and arapax
The shelves when they're broken
I'll beg you, beg you

Waste life when youth is sweeter, neater
Content with contents
Cultures cringing at accents
And it's too tense, camp out (nonsense)

She tastes the candy
Sugarless, cancerous
Crave cocaine cop shows
I'll beg you, beg you

But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me


3. SLAVE

Lived too long now you've come to take me
To a place where I can die
Lost my soul, lost my confidence in me
Can't be something but I'll try

Lived too long and waited to just drown
In my self pity I keep falling down

Want to be your soldier
Want to be your slave
I have no pride in myself

Only book that I own is called 'how to lose'
Pick a chapter, I know them all, just choose

Lived too long and waited to find
A place where I can die
Lost my soul, lost my confidence in me
Give me something but I'll try

Want to be your solider
Want to be your slave
I have no pride in myself
That's how I behave


4. PURE MASSACRE

People dying for no reason at all
Age is no difference or if you're large or small

Families being torn apart
Doesn't have to be this way
Some people, just have no heart
It's happening every day

[Chorus]
Pure massacre
Pure massacre...

Machine guns pumping, hearts thumping
Death is all around
People crying for freedom
No one hears the sound

[Chorus]

There's people crying
There's people dying
But someone's taken it all, yeah

[Repeat Last Verse]
[Chorus]

It's gonna be a pure massacre
Yeah!


5. EMOTION SICKNESS

Erupt again ignore the pill
And I won't let it show
Sacrifice the tortures
Orchestral tear cash-flow
Increase delete escape defeat
It's all that matters to you
Cotton case for an iron pill
Distorted eyes
When everything is clearly dying

Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and
E-motion sickness
Addict with no heroine
E-motion sickness
Distorted eyes
When everything is clearly dying

Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and pray
Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and pray
[All my friends say]
Get up get up get up get up
Get up get up get up
Won't you stop my pain

E-motion sickness
[To idle with an idol]
Addict with no heroine
Good things will pass
It helps with excess access
Lessons learnt

E-motion sickness
[Lost no friendship]
[Corrosive head pollution]
Lessons learnt


6. HOLLYWOOD

In the middle of the side of the road
I'm a cynical baby
So your god fell in love with the war
Well he´s only your god

I'm the first male lesbian
I feel less being jaded
The gayest straight boy that you'll ever meet
And I meet everyone only not in the flesh

Easy, hopeless admiration of a Hollywood home
Easy, hopeless admiration

We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood hole
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in

In the middle of the side of the road
I'm a cynical baby
So your god fell on love with the war
Well he's only your god

Heads tied to a rolling sculpture
Limp feet proceed to hold me up
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood home
We're living in, we're living in a Hollywood hole
Now that you've come home


7. ANA'S SONG (OPEN FIRE)

Please die Ana
For as long as you're here we're not
You make the sound of laughter
And sharpened nails seem softer
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

Imagine pageant
In my head the flesh seems thicker
Sandpaper tears corrode the film

And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

And you're my obsession
I love you to the bones
And Ana wrecks your life
Like an Anorexia life

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you
Open fire on the needs designed
Open fire on my knees desires
On my knees for you


8. MISS YOU LOVE

Millionaire say
Got a big shot deal
And thrown it all away but
But I'm not too sure
How I'm supposed to feel
Or what I'm supposed to say
But I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle every day
And I miss you love

Make room for the prey
'Cause I'm coming in
With what I wanna say but
It's gonna hurt
And I love the pain
A breeding ground for hate but...

I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people

Remember today
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love

I love the way you love
But I hate the way
I'm supposed to love you back

It's just a fad
Part of the teenage angst brigade and
I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people

Remember today
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love

Remember two days
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love

I love the way you love
But I hate the way
I'm supposed to love you back


9. ONE WAY MULE

Let my spirit ride on a one way mule
Blistered skin in a cold hearted pool
Distant emotion hides a concrete wall
Naked and anchored
I'll climb right back to you

Love me for my mind
'Cause I'm a dangerous heart
When I've got time to kill
I'm coming back to you

Distant emotion hides a concrete wall

Do you feel
Do you feel
Do you need

Love me for my mind
'Cause I'm a dangerous heart
When I've got time to kill
I'm coming back to you
Love me for my mind
'Cause I'm a dangerous heart
When I've got time to kill
I'm coming back to you

Patient career of sleep in a Sunday dress
Rides my wake
Go!


10. THE DOOR

Could've been like before
Could've had to lock the door

Make your mind
Let the door, let the door swing
Only one
Only one to let the door

Wanted to pretend he's dead
Didn't have to pretend

All this and more
Makes no sense to me
All this and more
Makes me drown

Let me know if it's alright
Let me know if you just might


11. FAULTLINE

Unsuspecting brother doesn't know what to do
When everything just falls to the ground, ohh
He runs to find some cover, he doesn't have a clue
That his friend will never be found
When he's informed, that he...

Will never see the boy
Will never see the boy
Never see him open his eyes
Will never see the boy
Never see the boy
You'll only hear his heavenly cries
Ooh, yeah

Thinking of the past, it's all over now
Mother nature strikes once again
It happened all so fast, my only question's how
How could they let that building descend
Ohh, yeah, ohhhh...

You will never see the boy
You will never see the boy
You will never see him open his eyes
You will never see the boy
Never see the boy
You'll only hear his heavenly cries
Ooh, yeah

Off to the new life, I live on death
You're leaving me all through the night
If he's born again, I need you to find
Need you to find where he is


12. ANTHEM FOR THE YEAR 2000

We are the youth
We'll take your fascism away
We are the youth
Apologise for another day
We are the youth
And politicians are so sure
We are the youth
And we are knocking on death's door
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so sure

Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
Where innocence is so short
We'll make it up to you
In the year 2000 with...

Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
Where innocence is so short

We'll make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000 with you

Never knew we were living in a world
With a world that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
World who cares at all

We'll make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it hard for you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it hard for you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000 with you


13. FREAK

No more maybes
Your baby's got rabies
Sitting on a ball
In the middle of the Andes

Yeah, I'm a freak of nature
Yeah, I'm a freak

If only I could be as cool as you
As cool as you

Body and soul, I'm a freak

Try to be different
Well get a different disease
Seems it's in fashion
To need the coldsore cream

I don't really know
How to put on a 'cool' show
As boring as they come
Just tell me where to go

If only I could be as cool as you

Freak
