1.Add It Up
Day after day
I will walk and i will play
But the day after today
I will stop
And i will start my way
Why can't i get just one kiss
Why can't i get just one kiss
Believe me there'd be somethings that i wouldn't miss
But i look at your pants and i need i need a kiss
Why can't i get just one screw
Why can't i get just one screw
Believe me i know what to do
But something won't let me make love to you
Why can't i get just one fuck
Why can't i get just one fuck
I guess it's something to do with luck
But i waited my whole life for just one
Day afterday
I get angry
And i will say
That the day
Is in my sight
When i'll take a bow
And say goodnight

2.American Music
Do you like amercan music
I like american music
Don't you like american music baby
I want you to hold me
I want your arms around me

Would you like to come along
But nobody would go to the prom with me baby
They didn't like american music

3.Black Girls
I dig the black girls, oh so much more than the white girls.
I was so pleased to learn they were faster.
C'est, c'est, c'est vous i'm after.
All comes a faggot white boy.
Said look, look, look first kind of joy.
They come around so queer and quiet,
As i rebel and riot.
Shall i dig the white boys？
All so much more that the black boys.
I was so pleased to learn they're not smarter.
Go on, give, give, give it to me harder, harder, harder, just
say harded.
You know i love the lord of hosts,
The father, son, and the holy ghost.
I was so pleased to learn that he's inside me
In my time of trouble he will hide me.
I dig the black girls.
I dig the black girls.
I dig the black girls.
I dig the black girls.

6.Country Death Song
I had me a wife, i had me some daughters.
I tried so hard, i never knew still waters.
Nothing to eat and nothing to drink.
Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think.
Nothing for a man to do but sit around and think.
Well, i'm a thinkin' and thinkin', till there's nothin' i ain't
thunk.
Breathing in the stink, till finally i stunk.
It was at that time, i swear i lost my mind.
I started making plans to kill my own kind.
I started making plans to kill my own kind.
Come little daughter,' i said to the youngest one,
Put your coat on, we'll have some fun.
We'll go out to mountains, the one to explore.
Her face then lit up, i was standing by the door.
Her face then lit up, i was standing by the door.
Come little daughter, i will carry the lanterns.
We'll go out tonight, we'll go to the caverns.
We'll go out tonight, we'll go to the caves.
Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that god saves.
Kiss your mother goodnight and remember that god saves.
A led her to a hole, a deep black well.
I said 'make a wish, make sure and not tell and
Close you're eyes dear, and count to seven.
You know your papa loves you, good children go to heaven.
You know your papa loves you, good children go to heaven.
I gave her a push, i gave her a shove.
I pushed with all my might, i pushed with all my love.
I through my child into a bottomless pit.
She was screaming as she fell, but i never heard her hit.
She was screaming as she fell, but i never heard her hit.
Gather round boys to this tale that i tell.
You wanna know how to take a short trip to hell？
It's guarenteed to get your own place in hell.
Just take your lovely daughter and push her in the well.
Take your lovely daughter and throw her in the well.
Don't speak to me of lovers, with a broken heart.
You wanna know what can really tear you apart？
I'm going out to the barn, will i never stop in pain？
I'm going out to the barn, to hang myself in shame.

Good feeling
Won't you stay with me just a little longer
It always seems like your leaving
When i need you here just a little longer
Dear lady there's so many things
That i have come to fear
Little voice says i'm going crazy
To see all my worlds disappear
Vague sketch of a fantasy
Laughing at the sunrise
Like he's been up all night
Ooo slippin and slidin
What a good time but now
Have have to find a bed
That can take this wait
Good feeing
Won't you say stay with me just a little longer
It always seems like your leaving
When i know the other one
Just a little too well
Oh dear lady

Y'know it always seems like your leaving
When i need you here just a little longer

12.Hallowed Ground
'the profit is a fool, the spirtual man is mad,
For the multitude of thine inequity, and the great hatred.'
(hosea 9：7)
Everyone's trying to decide,
Where to go when there's no place to hide.
I follow the bombs as they're coming down.
This must have been hallowed ground.
No matter what they decide to have done.
Burn up the clouds, block out the sun.
My hope is in one they can't bring down.
My soul is in hallowed ground.
I see the fear, it's on the rise.
Let's catch the enemy by surprise.
Burry your treasure where it can't be found.
Burry it deep in hallowed ground.

I'm nothing'

Are you a republican or a democrat
A liberal fascist full of crap
I'm nothin'

Somebody somewhere might be something
But everybody everywhere
Knows that i'm nothin
Politics and dirty tricks
I got no time for stones and sticks
Politics and dirty tricks
I got no time i'm chasing chicks
I'm nothin'
I'm nothin'
Somebody somewhere might be something
But everybody everywhere
Knows that i'm nothing
I'm nothing but i'm not proud
'cause being nothing it's not allowed
Are you a gay or are you straight
Do you believe in love
Or do you believe in hate
I'm nothin'
I'm nothin'
Somebody somewhere said he was something
But to everybody everywhere
I'm saying i'm nothing
I'm nothing. i'm like a cloud
I'm free to be alone in a crowd
What's your reality. it's not real to me
What's your anomaly. it is my destiny
I-m-n-o-t-h-i-n
I-m-n-o-t-h-i-n
I'm nothin'
Nothin'
Nothin'
I'm nothing now and i'll be nothing when
This nothing world has it's nothing end

I need someone a person to talk to
Someone who'd care to love
Could it be you could it be you
Situation gets rough then i start to panic
It's not enough it's just a habit

On your permanent record

15.Life Is An Adventure
Life is an adventure,
Made for an adventurer.
Made just for the boy who can,
Grow up strong and become a man.
Nothing will bother you,
You will do what you want to.
Laughes and loves and hopes and dreams,
Action will supply the means.
Living for something.
Foregiving nothing,
And you're forgiving, nothing,
Cause you're living for something.
Fast is fast, the sacred cow.
Life is in the here and now.
Got to dream and got to hope.
Broaden your horizon scope.
I told you once and i told you twice,
Japanese eat lots of rice.
You can be my assistant.
It could be to you detriment.
Ah we're believing something.
Conceiving a great wealth.
Conceiving nothing
Believing in myself
Believing in myself
Life is an adventure,
Made for an adventurer.
Made just for the boy who can,
Grow up strong and become a man.

Took away
From me and you

Just how bad
It had gotten and
Just how sick
I had become
But it could change
With this relationship
De-de range
We've all been thru some shit
And if were a thing

Tell me now
What do i have to do
To prove my love to you
Special favors come in 31 flavors
Were out of mints
Pass the life savers
I'm droppin hints
Candy for candy-coated tongue
You'd be so good
So very good for me
What do you think
Tell me honestly
I'm wait wait wait
W-wait wait
Waiting for you to come
Tell me now
What do i have to do
To prove my love to you

I'd climb a mountain
I'd cross the ocean
I'd do it it all
To prove my love to you

19.Sweet World Of Angels
I think that i would like to
Stroll down a street or two.
Stop by some places that i know
And see whats become of me.
Stay close and comfort.
The winds that tear em up.
Now, they're breezing out to pasture
And i'm breezing in and out.
Flow, let it flow.
It's just so mellow under my pillow.
It's just so mellow i'm surrounded by pillows.
Don't feel afraid.
I'm a little out of sleep.
Just me come to call
With my frozen teeth and melted lips.
I will come and run to meet the sun
When my songs for the morning
And then i will smile upon you
With my peace and my yearning.
Flow, let if flow.
It,s just so mellow under my pillow.
It,s just so mellow i'm surrounded by pillows.
The sun was yellow.
Beneath the streaming through the trees.
Clouds are great pillows
Floating so grandly above the trees
Why is everybody so hollow
So i kill everything.
Sweet worlds of angels.
Sweet worlds of angels.
Sweet worlds of angels
Some never never never die die.
Sweet worlds of angels.
Some never never never die die.
Sweet worlds of angels.
Some never never never die die.
Beautiful angels.
Don't ever leave me behind.
Your all too perfuming of my life.
I think that i would like to
Stroll down a street or two.
Stop by some places that i know
And see whats become of me.
