Barbara Walters on TV
'Why do the Japanese
hate us so much？'
August 6th.
2.Indestructible
Oh well, you sit alone and your brain begins to rot
and so you chase behind your every crazy thought
and find a human scapegoat to blame your problems on
past on a plastic smile, pretending nothing's wrong
you go to work and sometimes you scream and bitch and
whine
you know that I'm so grateful that none of your problems
are mine
and so you find a punching bag with a face that looks like
me
and then you beat it sensless until it springs a leak.
Oh well, your life is empty and so you buy some toys
and when something goes wrong you get so fucking
annoyed
the pages in your scrapbook, they get all yellow and faded
and I'd be cynical if I wasn't so goddamned jaded
and so you make excusec for writing poisen pen notes
just make sure in your mind you're always abowe reproach
look over the rim of your glasses and then look down your
nose
It's easy to feel superior, I know ...
'cause nothing matters when you're indestructible
you better fail or else it's bound to fuck with you
Oh well, it's pointless to dwell on the past
but it's ever so easy just to think you've been had
I'm just a myrtyr／extra in this scene
so I hope you'll excuse me for being a libertine
I get so angry, so mean
stab my voodoo doll
stab my voodoo doll
'til it bursts, 'til it bursts
at the seams, at the seams
'cause nothing matters when you're indestructible
you better fail or else it's bound to fuck with you
I know you might think that you're infallible
but nothing matters when you're ...
perfect.
3.Maybe If I ...
Maybe if I had a million dollars
maybe if I had a brand new car
maybe if I had some better drugs
maybe then I'd be hapy.
Maybe if I had some new golf clubs
maybe if I had a major label deal
maybe if I lived somewhere else
maybe then I'b be happy.
I'm always changing the people
and places just to fill up the
empty spaces, I don't know
maybe if I ...
Maybe if I had a new girlfriend
maybe if I jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge
maybe if I got a lobotomy
maybe then I'd feel better.
4.Me Vs. Everything
I'm a Don Quixote fuckin' windmill fightin' dude
I can't understand all of the things I see you do
oh your brain is full of sludge; religion and TV
I'm against you doughnuts and your food from KFC
I'm hiding in the stretchmarks on Rush Limbaugh's butt
Why does everything you believe make me just wanna go
nuts？
Now I understand why people wanna buy a gun
to pick off people randomly from shopping center roofs
it's me against the world and the world is going down
I couldn't give a shit about the people in your town
I'm killing all your cops with my electric guitar
and I'm driving on the wrong side of the road when I steal
your car.
I cry, I bleed, I shit, I sneeze, I write, I read, I can't
believe
lies you believe so constantly and thoughtlessly
hypocrisy and lies.
Everywhere I look I see a zombie with a gun
Demanding a rematch for all the battles they haven't won
I've got atomic bombs to blow you the fuck outta here
I see another zombie everytime I look in the mirror
Me vs. everything
5.Nopalitos
(a cult tragedy at glance)
A man in a mission
and a man on a mission
Crockett and Koresh
Two guys named Dave
livin？ in the old southwest.
One lived in Waco
the other just below
in San Antonio
the fuckin' Alamo!
Both took on a country
and died in an ashtray
Waco, the Alamo
towering inferno
taking heat from Mexico
and gas from Janet Reno
one Dave made the history books
with glory for his trauma
the other made the headlines
and a mini-docudrama.
Both took on a country
and died in an ashtray
but who was the hero？
and who was the psyco？
In the East to take your life
before defeat is to die with honor.
In the West we praise the man
who tried but died a hopeless goner.
6.Powertrip
We've got money, power and hundred story towers
greedy politicians when they see us start to cower
third world sweatshop workers making fifteen cents an
hour
welcome to the trickle-down economic golden shower
where we're doing as we damn well please
so we can live a fat life of ease, somehow something's
missing
we're doing as we damn well please so we can live a fat
life of ease
somehow something's missing while we're pissing on you
we need more power in the street to knock you off your
feet
so you don't get any big ideas or we'll send in the National
guard
power in the land to help you understand
we just won't take no more send the army in to settle the
score.
We've got preachers to plead for every last dime they need
we sell you crack and speed and some band-aids when
you bleed
campaign for law and order, fill you with fear and horror
there's a guy with a sign that says he'll work for food on
every corner
well we're buying everything in your town so we can run it
right in to the ground, somehow something's missing
buying everything in your town so we can run it right into
the ground
and sell you back your pain as entertainment but we need
more power ...
7.Product
I build a maze around myself
construct a force field
pay no attention
to the man behind the curtain
I wouldn't want you to think that I'm weak
can't let you see that I'm afraid
so instead i'm gonna put you down
so instead i'm gonna push you around.
I rule as the king
the reigning authority figure
everyone is a role model
in one way or another
a brilliantly shining example
of a right way or a wrong
but there seems no way to determine
what I have always known all along.
Cause I'm just a product
which gives me an excuse
to treat you like an object
for my rotten abuse
I'd rather turn it around
than watch my guts cave in
'cause self destruction is much too ...
tedious.
A prisoner inside of my ego
I'll speak to you as a prophet
can't you see I'm lying？
but I can't even stop it
I must make an excellent impression
in order to get what I want
but I'm ever so bored and restless
from only doing as I was taught.
I'm just a product ...
8.Proud To Be Ignorant
I'm proud to be ignorant
I never listen to a word that you say
Because if I did I'd have to learn something new and then
uh ...
that might make me feel uncomfortable.
I destroy what I can't understand
It makes me feel so much bigger.
Because everything I know is just engraved in stone and
exactly
like I told you in the first place.
The people who don't think or believe like me
should all be gathered up on a desert island
so that I can drop a bomb on them
but wait a minute ... not me!
I'm proud to be ignorant.
9.Suicide Tag
There's a McDonald's in the desert and a flag on the
moon
and gonna shoot billboards into space pretty soon
so that when I stare up into the smoggy night sky
I can see the golden arches floating way up high
there's two miles of mylar drifting aimlessly in space
I'll just sit there with one more blank stare on my face
and I'll just ignore it like everything else
'cause I'm just to damned busy always thinking about
myself
There's a place in the desert where the sand stretches out
and the wind keeps on crying 'won't you get the fuck out'
all the white people came with their porsches and pools
to elect some celebrity to make all the rules
there's a shopping center standing on a burial ground now
there's a hamburger stand where you can eat a sacred
cow
it's a half a pound slab and it's juicy and meaty
and the billboard makers whine and complain about
grafitti.
There's a barge full of garbage floating in the harbor
there's a cementary full of our heroes and martyrs
and our road is paved with the beast of intentions
there's an answering machine answering at suicide
prevention
but at least someones listening sooner or later
so that they can report back that I am a traitor
for defacing all your billboards with a suicide tag
that you just can't wash out with some thinner and a rag
10.Ugly Thing
When the tension starts to rise
and it ain't no surprise you come unglued
it's an ugly thing.
When you don't play by the rules
but I'm still just a fool for you
it's an ugly thing.
When nothing's going right
everything is wrong like this song
it's an ugly thing.
You've got yer worry, yer anger
yer tension and depression
everything I love
is a great big obsession
is it love or a subtle opression？
a message from above
or demonic possession？
Well you're oh so suspicius
my commands are your wishes
it's truly an ugly thing.
When you start to undress
only under duress
what can you do？
it's an ugly thing
When you're too scared to run
and it still ain't no fun, you're screwed
and it's ugly.
When nothing I ever do
is ever good enough for you
sweety poo
it's an ugly thing
ugly is a four letter word that begins with U.
11.White Picket Fence
Out the door she walked slamming it behind her
I'm dialing the telephone.
dying just to find her
there I sit; master of all I survey
'she'll crawl back on her hands and knees someday'
so I punched a hole in the wall with my fist
put on Julie London and I knocked back a fifth
'how come this shit always happens to me,
when I'm such a fucking sweetheart it's a mystery.'
I walked upstairs fell flat on my face
passed out and dreamed of a beautiful place
and when everything seemed to be going my way
I woke up in a puddle of puke where I lay.
I put the sheets in the washer
took the covers to the cleaners
as my head pounds, I get impatient and meaner
back at the houe I put the Tar Babies on
pulled out the poker and cleaned out the bong
and as the resin stars rising to my head
Ralphy starts thinking he'd be better off dead
somehow my life just seems so incomplete
waking up alone in the pukey sheets.
Well I'm not stupid just a little bit dense when I'm
wondering where the heck is my white picket fence,
house in the 'burbs with the 2.3 brats
instead of living here with the vomit and the rats.
Well now I'm sitting here in my dingy little hovel
and I'm wishing that my life was a romance novel
sweep me off my feet, baby take me away
(I crawled back on my hands and knees today)
happily ever after we can live in my castle
even though dealing with me is just hassle after hassle
I'll put up Mantovani we could dance on the ceiling
while I play out the same scene once more with feeling.
What's my motivation？ it don't make no sense
where the heck is my white picket fence？
I thought love was gonna save my life
there ought to be a law against me having a wife
so out the door she walked slamming it behind her.
12.Yeah!
All of history is a litany of tyrrany and treachery.
Vis-a-vis the gluttony and the greed and the need for
power.
The irony is killing me I can't believe the audacity.
This facsimile of humanity covers up it's insanity
by making history easy to read but hard to believe.
YEAH!
13.Zoo
I sit back and watch you go by me
claw for your important place in society
money prestige fame and fuckin' glory
everywhere you look it's the same old story
anythinf goes if you've got a lot of money
everyone's a comic but nothing very funny
most of all we talk about misery
ignore the past and forget about history
Shut up, sow down get out of my face
I watch all your little dreams vanis wothout a trace
and criticize shit you don't try to understand
I'm trying not to giggle at your silly demands
I go to the zoo and stare at the animals
walk downtown and check out the cannibals
all dressed up and decorated
I wonder if the animals really love their cages？
There you sit isolated
hiding away from the things that you hated
hypnotized; mind so seated
media made my mind so afraid and
that's OK it's better that way
I wonder if the game's on TV today？
we're all fenced in; incarcerated
I wonder if the animals really love theri cages？
