(Cooper, Marlette) 4:38 We're spinning round on this ball of hate There's no parole, there's no great escape We're sentenced here until the end of days And then my brother there's a price to pay We're only human, we were born to die Without the benefit of reason why We live for pleasure - to be satisfied And now it's over there's no place to hide Why don't you, come down to It's such a brutal planet It's such an ugly world Why won't you, come down to "This world is such perfection" (What a sight) "It's just like paradise" (For my eyes) "A truly grand creation" (What a sight) "From up here it looks so nice" (For my eyes) It's such a brutal planet It's such a living hell It was a holy garden That's right where Adam fell It's where the bite was taken It's where we chose to sin It's where we first were naked This is where our death begins We took advice from that deceiving snake He said don't worry it's a piece of cake And sent us swimming in a burning lake Now we're abandoned here for heaven's sake Why don't you, come down to It's such a brutal planet It's such an ugly world Why won't you, come down to "This world is such perfection" (What a sight) "It's just like paradise" (For my eyes) "A truly grand creation" (What a sight) "From up here it looks so nice" (For my eyes) Here's where we keep the armies Here's where we write their names Here's where the money god is Here's our famous hall of shame Here's where we starve the hungry Here's where we cheat the poor Here's where we beat the children Here is where we pay the whore Why don't you, come down to It's such a brutal planet It's such an ugly world Why won't you, come down to "This world is such perfection" (What a sight) "It's just like paradise" (For my eyes) "A truly grand creation" (What a sight) "From up here it looks so nice" (For my eyes) Right here we stoned the prophets Built idols out of mud Right here we fed the lions Christian flesh and Christian blood Down here is where we hung ya Upon an ugly cross Over there we filled the ovens Right here the holocaust ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2) Wicked Young Man (Cooper, Marlette) 3:50 Cold blue swastika tattooed on my skin The ice in my veins the staples in my chin I've got it carved in my forehead "Slave To My Sin" Too violent for the brotherhood to ever take me in Gonna write down my law in blood upon the street To the cadence of a goose-step heavy metal beat Wanna purify my race gonna turn up the heat Just wanna make 'em die and make the job complete I am a vicious young man oh I am a wicked young man It's not the games that I play the movies I see the music I dig I'm just a wicked young man I like to run my body on heavy heavy fuel I can punch through a wall I can kick like a mule I got a pocketful of bullets and a blueprint of the school I'm the devil's little soldier I'm the devil's little tool I am a vicious young man oh I am a wicked young man It's not the games that I play the movies I see the music I dig I'm just a wicked young man I got every kind of chemical pumpin' through my head I read Mein Kampf daily just to keep my hatred fed I never ever sleep I just lay in my bed Dreamin' of the day when everyone is dead I am a vicious young man oh I am a wicked young man It's not the games that I play the movies I see the music I dig I'm just a wicked young man I am a vicious young man oh I am a vicious young man I am a vicious young man oh I am a wicked young man ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) Sanctuary (Cooper, Marlette) 4:00 Your world full of creeps Zombies walk the street 9 to 5 barely alive Have a beer go to sleep And start all over again Same gray suit Same round shoes Same headache Same pills He goes home thinks about suicide But he's got his diploma Got to give him that I got a radical place Got my own private space It's my sanctuary It's the castle of doom I'm the king of my room Just a Quasimodo Let the world blow away This is where I will stay In my sanctuary Got my mess on the floor Got my lock on my door Go Away Sanctuary Go Away Sanctuary Someday I gotta get outta here Gotta put on a shirt put on a tie Get a job buy a car get some insurance Cuz I'll probably have a heart attack Before I'm 40 I guess I'll find the perfect wife And I'll have 2.3 perfect kids And if I work real hard And die real fast They'll all turn out just like me I got a radical place Got my own private space It's my sanctuary It's the castle of doom I'm the king of my room Just a Quasimodo Let the world blow away This is where I will stay In my sanctuary Got my mess on the floor Got my lock on my door Go Away Sanctuary Go Away Sanctuary Go Away Sanctuary Go Away Sanctuary Go Away Sanctuary Go Away I got a radical place Got my own private space It's my sanctuary It's the castle of doom I'm the king of my room Just a Quasimodo Let the world blow away This is where I will stay In my sanctuary Got my mess on the floor Got my lock on my door Go Away Sanctuary Go Away Sanctuary Go Away Sanctuary Go Away Sanctuary ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) Blow Me A Kiss (Cooper, Marlette, Bob Ezrin) 3:21 Take one in the leg [Think about your baby] Take one in the side [Think about your girl] Take one in the head [Think about your mother] Take one in the heart [It's the end of

ready to go] So blow me a kiss cuz I'm lonely Blow me a kiss cuz I'm afraid Blow me a kiss cuz you don't know me Say goodnight then blow me away Blow me away Blow me away Tell me what you're thinkin' tell me why I'm in my room I'm Dr. Doom Cuz I'm not me I'm someone else Why should you die don't ask me why You know it you know it you know it Blow me away I turn the page I am the rage I'm coming from a darker place A much darker place So blow me away Blow me away Yeah blow me away Tell me what you're thinkin' tell me why Blow me a kiss then blow me away Yeah blow me away C'mon and blow me away Tell me what you're thinkin' tell me why Blow me a kiss then blow me away ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) Eat Some More (Cooper, Marlette) 4:30 Sixty million tons of meat Spoiling in the stinking heat Train full loads of moldy bread Millions will still go unfed Acres full of dying wheat Burning brightly at our feet A billion tons of roasted fish Some with nothing on their dish We can't see we're going blind We're just dying on the vine We're all sinking from the weight Open wide and salivate Do you like the taste? Stuff it in your face Its not nice to waste We're not happy 'til we're choking So we eat some more Throw up on the floor Go back to the store We're so hungry So pathetic Lots of melting cheddar cheese Spreading instant meat disease Rotting veggies on the ground Where hungry little kids are found Worms in fruit an ugly sight They're begging for a single bite Our garbage dumps are mountains high While other people sadly die We can't see we're going blind We're just dying on the vine We're all sinking from the weight Open wide and salivate Do you like the taste? Stuff it in your face Its not nice to waste We're not happy 'til we're choking So we eat some more Throw up on the floor Go back to the store We're so hungry So pathetic We can't see we're going blind We're just dying on the vine We're all sinking from the weight Open wide and salivate Do you like the taste? Stuff it in your face Its not nice to waste We're not happy 'til we're choking So we eat some more Throw up on the floor Go back to the store We're so hungry So pathetic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6) Pick Up The Bones (Cooper, Marlette) 5:02 Collecting pieces of my family In an old pillow case This one has a skull But it don't have a face These look like the arms of father so strong And the ring on this finger Means my Grandma is gone Here's some legs in a cloud Where my sister once played Here's some mud made of blood And these teeth are decayed The ear of my brother The hand of a friend And I just can't Put them back together again Pick up the bones And set them on fire Follow the smoke going higher and higher Pick up the bones And wish them goodnight Pray them a prayer and turn out the light There are stains on the floor Where kitchen once stood There are ribs on the fire place Mixed with the wood There are forces in the air Ghosts in the wind Some bullets in the back And some scars on the skin There were demons with guns Who marched through this place Killing everything that breathed They're an inhuman race There are holes in the walls Bloody hair on the bricks And the smell of this hell Is making me sick Pick up the bones And set them on fire Follow the smoke going higher and higher Pick up the bones And wish them goodnight Pray them a prayer and turn out the light Pick up the bones And set them on fire Follow the scope going higher and higher Pick up the bones And wish them goodnight Pray them a prayer and turn out the light Now maybe someday The suns gonna shine Flowers will bloom And all will be fine But nothing will grow On this burnt cursive ground Cuz the breathe of the death Is the only sound ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7) Pessi-mystic (Cooper, Marlette, Brian Nelson) 4:48 Don't need a crystal ball For me to see clearly No astrology or Tarot cards Watch and see an end And holding my breath To face the day Scares me to death I'm pessimystic I'm so fatalistic I'm pessimystic I don't believe a thing I'm pessimystic I'm so nihlistic I'm pessimystic For what tomorrow brings I can't hear a word you say So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up I like being sick this way So shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up Everybody's mind is badly infected Everybody feeds the parasite Everything is dark so why not accept it?
