Family Man Lyrics

[Intro]

Do you want the family man or do you want the swingin' man?

You choose

(Family man)

You get the family man

[Verse]

Family man

FAMILY man

Family MAN

With your glances my way, taken no chances on the new day

Family man

Family man with your life all planned

Your little sand castle built

Smiling through your guilt

Family, man

Here I come

Here I come, family man

I come to infect, I come to rape your woman

I come to take your children into the street

I come for YOU, family man, family man

With your Christmas lights already up

You're such a man, when your puttin' up your Christmas lights

First on the block

Family man

Family man, I wanna crucify you on your front door

With nails from your well-stocked garage

Family man, family man

Family man

Saint dad, father on fire

I've come to incinerate you

I've come home

Salt on a Slug Lyrics

[Verse]

I poured salt on a large slug

I watched how the slug writhed and squirmed

It tried to escape me and my burning salt

The slug made no sound

But I'm sure if I were turned inside out and dipped in salt, I would scream

I remember how the slug glistened and resperated

Until I put the salt on it

And how it tried to get away secreting a yellowish green mucus

In great quantities that bubbled slightly

My fascination turned to revulsion as the slug writhed and tossed from side to side

Secreting even more yellow-green mucus to try and beat the salt

(Laughter)

It was a losing battle for the slug

Cause when it had succeeded in rubbing some of the salt off with great effort, I would simply turn the salt shaker on the slug again and start over

Eventually I got bored and left the slug, still writhing in vain

Trying to get free of the salt that eventually sucked the slug dry

Later I imagined that my whole body was a tongue and I was dipped in salt...

Hollywood Diary Lyrics

[Intro]

Hollywood Diary

[Verse]

He loved her

He chopped off his left arm (The Good One)

And sent it to her with a box of chocolates

She ate the chocolates and watched TV

He blew his brains out, picked them up

Shoved them back upside his head, made breakfast, ate

And tried again with a renewed vigor and enthusiasm not seen by many

Let Your Fingers Do the Walking Lyrics

[Verse]

I try and try

But I can't seem to pry my mind from the gutter

Gutter brain pushin'

Filthy thoughts

Dirty hands workin'

Diggin' nails

Let your fingers do the walking

I saw your head nodding from side to side

You say your stuck around for just one last ride, well you'll surely go

Just as sure as you can

What's your name?

Let your fingers do the walking

You spent so much time

Telling me about yourself and your kind

There's so many of you now

And I wanna know

How does your army grow?

And so on, man

So go on, man

Well

So long, man

Let your fingers do the walking

Hey now

I've got a halo above my head

And a gun in my hand

I can do no wrong

No wrong, man

Time stands still and takes a step aside

My credit is good anywhere, anytime

All the girls know my name

But there's none by my side

I'm a man among men

Walking tall with a plan

You can send it around the world

You can hold it in your hand

You can bring it on home

I'm Armageddon Man

It's written on the wall

For a good time call

Won't you come by?

Won't you give me a try?

I'm easy to reach

And I'm willing to teach you everything you wanna know

Don't come knockin' on my door

It's open

Just walk in like you own the place

Hang your hat

Put your feet up

I got time and I know how to use it

How much time do you have?

Do you know?

How much do you need to get the job done?

You know exactly what I'm talking about, don't you?

Course you do

That's why you came here in the first place

Let your fingers do the walking

How can I forgive?

How can I let live?

How can I forgive?

How can I let live?

How you gonna make me forgive?

How you gonna make me let live?

Let your fingers do the walking

Shed Reading (Rattus Norvegicus) Lyrics

4 ContributorsShed Reading (Rattus Norvegicus) LyricsI am Rattus Norvegicus.

I’m sitting in some shit-hole rat’s nest and I’m a little angry.

I wanted to be a talk show host, not a rat.

You men think you have it bad with women?

I’ve got it a lot worse, let me tell you.

What am I gonna say to some nice looking girl who I want to meet?

I can tread water for over 36 hours?

I can chew through lead pipes and cinderblocks?

I can run on telephone wires?!

And what if I do get the girl home?

Can’t fit her though the door - it’s too small.

Yeah I got a lot of gripes.

How’d you like to have a tail that went through your body to drag around all the time?

Not my idea of fun by a long shot!

And do you see the neighborhoods that I’m forced to live in?

Those people live like pigs!

Can’t catch the subway, they haven’t built it yet.

Can’t catch the up-town bus, I can’t reach the step-up.

Hey taxi!

And everyone

Wants to kill me,

Feed me drugs and poison,

Put electrodes in my head and make me run on treadmills

Dissect, bisect, and defect me,

Bind, blind, maim and tame me.

Are you folks crazy?!

You never invite me to your parties, as if I would really wanna go anyhow.

Have you ever asked me to go to a movie?

How ‘bout bowling?

You ever seen a rat cry?

I got tears.

And I have a heart and I got brains.

If you could just see past the fur,

I think that you would see

That I’m a lot like you.

No Deposit - No Return Lyrics

3 ContributorsNo Deposit - No Return LyricsIts 3:29 AM

I look out my window at the hot crowded street above

I notice I feel cold and alone

Used up like an old bottle

No deposit, no return

People live and die in these apartment compartments

No deposit, no return

Dust falls silently

Why can't I?

No deposit, no return

Armageddon Man Lyrics

7 ContributorsArmageddon Man LyricsYeah

Nowhere to go

No place to go

I'm real screwed up

My eyes are sore from smoking all that shit

No place to go

Bottomless heart

So big that everything just gets lost in there

And if it never comes out

That's okay by me

And on other side

At the top you get the light at the end of the tunnel

I just don't think I'll be the same

And I'm just warning you

I'm warning you all

No crutches, no nothin'

I am going to live the end

Apocalypse man!

What the hell else is there to do?

I want a mission

Not a gig or a good time, I want a mission

Scrawny stiff legs of despair come walkin' my way with an achy step

Shipwrecked souls, desolation paradise

Bountiful wonderland of lost souls staggering around arms outstretched, looking

For something

Lonely hero man sitting on the crest of the apocalypse

And our boy says something like, uh

"Hey sir. I'm a man away from home, and my soul is out on loan

Could you throw us down a bone, so I won't be all alone?

Cause I wanna see it all, and I wanna have it all

And I wanna see it fall, and I wanna take it all away."

February 13th

Birthday, new shirt around my neck

Shivers up and down my spine

The time is mine and I'm feelin fine

And I take this one thin dime

And I call my mom on the phone and say

Say, something to warm her heart

Say, uh, "Your boy done fucked up

Had a bit of hard luck, went down a wrong trail, messed with some wrong people and just lost his mind

Just lost his mind

Just Lost his mind

Lost his mind

Lost his mind"

Jumped! Get stuck in the trunk, get stuck in the jungle

And their jokes and their pokes and their wrong side looks

And all the notes in the books

And all the wrong turns and all the bad burns

And he never learned

Just kept burning, and he never got to learn

One wrong turn led to another wrong turn

Dog people!

These people, are for real!

They watch, television!

They run in circles!

They bark like dogs!

They nip at my heels!

They wanna put a collar around my neck!

They want me to be like them!

Well I just walk right past 'em, right over 'em, right though 'em, right on top 'em

I crush their face

'Cause it's easy

Because they're nothing!

'Cause they're nothing

Little dogs

Humping dogs

Sticking that thing in any crap that passes by

Dirt falling in my mind

Dirt gettin' stuck in my mouth

Dirt gettin' stuck in my eyes

Seeing everything through dirt

All I see is dirt, all I know is dirt

Just talkin' dirt, talkin' dirt

Digging dirt, loving dirt, rolling in dirt

Dirt river, dirt slithers, dirt lovers, dirt undercover, dirt over color

I've felt dirty before, but it never felt quite like this

I've seen dirt before, but it never looked quite looked like this

I've talked dirt before, but it never sounded quite like this

That's not the way it is

That's just the way it is around here

Around these parts

Oh!

It took a long time to make a long rhyme

It took a long time to make a story short

It took a lotta lives and a lotta lies to make this story what it is

To stretch it into a disgusting distortion, and proportion, and detail

And you can retail that, and sell it to the market and see what you get

Bring back the proceeds and we'll spend it on

Something of worth

Something that'll save me

Something that'll get me outta here

There's nothing I want more than out

There's nothing I like to roll in like dirt

Look

I've cheated myself

I've looked at myself

I've hated myself

And if we could all just get together and hate a little

We could hate one another

Hate our sisters and brothers in a sea of disunity

Get my fill when the blood spills

I get my freeze with the chill spells

I get my thrills with the cheers feel

I get my thrills with the cheers feels

The glass breaks

Shivers up and down my spine and I'm feeling fine

I'm feeling fine, the time is mine

Spending time to time getting my fill

And all the bells ring inside my head

Alarms going on and off

All fucked up

All messed up

Open my eyes, too much breathing

Too much of that fucking dirty air

Makes me talk shit

Makes me live shit

Makes me wanna kiss the ground, better than kissing you

Dirt girl, in that dirt dress

What's up that dirt dress?

Ain't nothing but a bunch a' trash

Ain't nothing but a bunch a' trash, but you seem to have me quite interested

Quite interested

I think I'll walk your way

I think I'll say your name

I think I'll come over to your house

Mmm, got something for me?

Got something for me?

I'm the man among men walking tall with a plan

You can go send it around the world, you can hold it in your hand

You can bring it on home, I'm Armageddon man, girl

Armageddon man, girl

And I want the whole world

I want the whole world

I wanna make this place a better place

And send my shovel and face

Everywhere

A statue of my effigy

They erected a slum in my name

Henry Rollins memorial slum

Henry Rollins memorial pit

Got a grave with my name

Got a grave that always looks the same

Through the eyes of a fuckin' bug
