1. Icons of Authority
Do they owe us a living?
Of course they fucking do
You’re amputated by the State
Just look what they reduced you to
Supplemental labour
Silenced majority
Groveling before
Their icons of authority!
Identify the icons
Icons of authority
Make their abolition
Your number one priority
Do I want to join the army?
Not very fucking likely
And if you try to make me
You’re gonna have to fight me
Murdering the Afghans
Using people’s taxes
It makes me want to take my views
And put them into practice
Identify the icons
Icons of authority
Make their abolition
Your number one priority
2. Pain on the Train (this one's not political, but hey, we all have feelings)
While I’m not the type to die in my sleep
Yours is the face I see when I dream
and one day i just wont wake up
cuz being with you is better than not
and i’m not the kind to whine and complain
but i want you to come with me on the train
I need to go and you need to run
I need to bounce and you need to come
we could use some wisdom i suppose
but what would we do with it
we could use a joint, now that i know,
and it would be so beautiful
i’m not the type to be who you think
i am the blank you see when you blink
i stood outside at night in the cold
and spoke to you through your window, oh
I’m no t the kind of guy who just knows
exactly what i want from the world
so its funny how i feel like i just know
that all I need from it is this girl
we could use some wisdom i suppose
but what would we do with it
we could use a joint, now that i know,
and it would be so beautiful
3. Dead Pigeons
I shouldn’t shout and scream and break shit
So I cope in silence with my
Stupid smile stitched across my face
As I sprint in place.
It started snowing overnight,
And now it's white across the street
But grey and slushy in the parking lot
Where pigeons go to die.
And they say that I consent to the system I make use of
But there's no other system I could use;
And if I made another in good faith to help my people
They'd throw me into jail, I got the blues.
You came outside because you heard me screaming
You saw me in the snow giving myself a beating
You thought I slipped on the ice and maybe I was bleeding
But I was just drunk to death and my life was freezing
I’m sorry that I tried to punch you
When you tried to help me up
See sometimes the stupid kid that lives inside me needs to
get all fucked up
And they say that I’m a product of the world that I grew up in
Now what am I supposed to do?
And if I tried to start another world to live my life in
they’d throw me into jail, I got the blues
I shouldn’t throw my life away yet
There’s so much that I haven’t made yet
Stupid smile stitched across my face
As I sprint in place
Now it’s dusk and it’s still snowing
And I still don’t know where I’m going
It’s grey and slushy in the parking lot
Where pigeons go to die
4. No Class Paradise
Tuesday forty
minus twenty
Two more beers then
out of money
killer in the cans, running in quicksand
Take a metro try to get to
Anywhere your legs will get you
Wednesday take indoctrination
Feeling like a waste of space then
go on a smoke break, talk to the punks
you know we all just wanna go get drunk!
Thursday take a
break from living
Resurrected
zombie sitting
In a class class class
But what they don’t know
Is I have no class
No no no
No Class
No Class
No Class Paradise
5. Heteronormative Behaviour
Hetero! Normative! Hetero! Normative!
You got your stance, you got your principles intact
You’re so convinced you’re unconvincable in fact
You think you’re right, you think it’s wrong, you shout it out
You think you got it all figured out
Heteronormative behaviour
What’s the difference?
Heteronormative behaviour
Fuck the difference
You think it’s normal, I say heteronormative
What’s your problem with the way I want to live
I got a life, I got a right to do what I want
What’s it to you where I put my cock?
(Where I put my cock, is it such a shock?)
I fuck girls, I fuck boys, I don’t give a fuck
About the laws of some abandoned God
If he made me, then he made me the way I am
If he didn’t then I don’t give a damn
Heteronormative behaviour
What’s the difference?
Heteronormative behaviour
Fuck the difference
6. You and Me
Woke up today just like any other day
Check if my pockets will spare me some change
Not enough, only one thing to do
Hit up the dep, split a forty, me and you
Who wants to split another forty
Another forty, me and you? x2
Crack it, smell it, slam it
Repeat steps two and three x4
7. Why Won't You Die
Why won't you die
Why won't you die
Why won't you die
Why? x2
8. Soakin' in the Sun
Who needs money when you have no morals?
Who needs money when it causes quarrels?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Who needs money when you have no morals?
Who needs money when it causes quarrels?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
take a holiday from life
Soaking in the sun
