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
Let your fingers do the walking
Let your fingers do the walking
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?
What's your name?
What's your name?
What's your name?
Let your fingers do the walking
Let your fingers do the walking
Let your fingers do the walking
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
And so on, man
So go on, man
So go on, man
Well
So long, man
Let your fingers do the walking
Let your fingers do the walking
Let your fingers do the walking
Let your fingers do the walking
Hey now
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
Me
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
Let your fingers do the walking
Let your fingers do the walking
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
Let your fingers do the walking
Let your fingers do the walking
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
Just Lost his mind
Lost his mind
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
Ah
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
Get my fill when the blood spills
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?
What's up that dirt dress?
Ain't nothing but a bunch a' trash
Ain't nothing but a bunch a' trash
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
Armageddon man, girl
And I want the whole world
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
