Force of Habit Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Can't overcome it, it's what I do best
I'll pick your pocket for your last red cent
It's a disease, I'm stricken like the rest
Never return anything I'm lent
It wasn't me, yeah, you know it wasn't me
It must've been someone who looked like me
Innocent until proven guilty and you ain't got a thing on me
[Pre-Chorus]
Your possessions, your worldly possessions
Mean more to me than your protective obsessions
You wanna hide 'em, lock 'em up inside and
Throw away the key so I can't find 'em
Well it's a shame, it's a god-damned shame
I'm the culprit but you're the one to blame
I'll take another lesson from my mother
It's better to take than get took
[Chorus]
Steal a dollar, steal a dime
Force of habit will hit you every time
In your pockets, invade your space
Force of habit, anytime or anyplace
Pay attention, keep an eye on all your cash
Force of habit will deprive you of your stash
If I do it, yeah, if I get caught
Force of habit is the problem that I got
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Mama told me, "Look, but don't touch."
But that only made me want it more
It doesn't matter if you're a friend or foe
'Cause your house is my candy store
I admit, I know I got a problem
But temptation is controlling me
I can't resist a five-fingered discount
Everything for me is free
[Pre-Chorus]
Your possessions, your worldly possessions
Mean more to me than your protective obsessions
You wanna hide 'em, lock 'em up inside and
Throw away the key so I can't find 'em
It's a shame, it's a god-damned shame
I'm the culprit but you're the one to blame
I'll take another lesson from my mother
It's better to take than get took
[Chorus]
Steal a dollar, steal a dime
Force of habit will hit you every time
In your pockets, invade your space
Force of habit, anytime or anyplace
Pay attention, keep an eye on all your cash
Force of habit will deprive you of your stash
If I do it, yeah, if I get caught
Force of habit is the problem that I got
The problem that I got
Yeah
Bitch Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Feeling so tired, can't understand it
Just had a fortnight's sleep
Feeling so high, I'm so distracted
Ain't touched a thing all week
Feeling drunk, juiced up and sloppy
Ain't touched a drink all night
Feeling hungry, can't see the reason
Just had a horse meat pie
[Chorus]
Yeah, when you call my name
I salivate like a Pavlov dog
Yeah, when you lay me out
My heart is beating faster than a big bass drum, alright
[Bridge]
Yeah, you got to mix it, child, you got to fix
It must be love, it's a bitch
Yeah, you got to mix it, child, you got to fix
It must be love and it's a bitch, alright
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I'm sexy, move like a stud
Like kicking the stalls all night
Sometimes I'm so shy, got to be worked on
Don't have no bark or no bite, alright
[Chorus]
Yeah, when you call my name
I salivate like a Pavlov dog
Yeah, when you lay me out
My heart is beating faster than a big bass drum, alright
[Outro]
Woo
Alright
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, yeah
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, yeah
One Foot in the Grave Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Why do people sell their souls away
Just to ride the horse another day?
They're all slaves to the heroin but it's a war that they'll never win
They'll never live to see the error of their ways
[Chorus]
One foot in the grave
Ruled by the drugs they crave
It all began as a need for kicks
Now they'd sell their lives for a fix
Powerless to break those chains
There's only losses and there's never no gains
They only live and die as a slave
With one foot, one foot in the grave
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
It promised an escape but only lied
Master of the world they're trapped inside
The needle and the spoon only gave
A one way ticket leading to the grave
And suffering until the day they die
[Chorus]
One foot in the grave
Ruled by the drugs they crave
It all began as a need for kicks
Now they'd sell their lives for a fix
Powerless to break those chains
There's only losses and never no gains
They only live and die as a slave
With one foot, one foot in the grave
[Outro]
One foot in the grave
One foot in the grave
One foot in the grave
One foot in the grave
One foot in the grave
One foot in the grave
One foot in the grave
Count Your Blessings Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Power, fortune and fame
Only a delusion inside your brain
But those who got it all
Fuckin' piss me off, they got a lot of balls
To sit there and complain
That affluence is a tremendous strain
Use some common sense
Take nothing for granted, not a fucking cent
[Chorus]
A word to the wise, you should realize
If you don't count your blessings, you're in for a surprise
That you got it so hard but life dealt you all the cards
You better count your blessings, you better let down your guard
A word to the wise, when will you realize
If you don't count your blessings, you're in for a surprise?
The roles will be reversed and you won't be the first
To wish he counted his blessing
[Verse 2]
Substantial amounts
Of their money lies in Swiss bank accounts
And more in stocks and bonds
They should consider if it were gone
Just what the hell they'd do
They might have to work to pay for their food
Like every one of us
They count their blessings with all of us
[Chorus]
A word to the wise, you should realize
If you don't count your blessings, you're in for a surprise
That you got it so hard but life dealt you all the cards
You better count your blessings, you better let down your guard
A word to the wise, when will you realize
If you don't count your blessings, you're in for a surprise?
The roles will be reversed and you won't be the first
To wish he counted his blessing
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 1]
Power, fortune and fame
Only a delusion inside your brain
Those who got it all
Fuckin' piss me off, they got a lot of balls
To sit there and complain
That affluence is a tremendous strain
Use some common sense
Take nothing for granted, not a fucking cent
[Chorus]
A word to the wise, you should realize
If you don't count your blessings, you're in for a surprise
That you got it so hard but life dealt you all the cards
You better count your blessings, you better let down your guard
A word to the wise, when will you realize
If you don't count your blessings, you're in for a surprise?
The roles will be reversed and you won't be the first
To wish he counted his blessing
Architect of Pain Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Let me paint you a portrait
Of a man whose very name would define, in times to come, all things profane
Born unto privilege, child of aristocracy
So tender the young mind, yet so unclean
His was a heart of darkness that beat within his chest
Breathing life into the crimes he'd manifest
Imp of the perverse on a bloody path he trods
Scribe of the unthinkable, the Marquis de Sade
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Outraging the laws of both nature and religion
Subjugation in behalf of her domain
Or so he believed in all this hate and narcissism
That to fight the inclination's but in vain
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Nature inspires our tastes bizarre
She paints them only as they are
From the darkest corners of the mind
As real as the morning sun shall rise just the same
[Chorus]
He wove his written word with threads of flesh throughout
He promised things so frightening they'll turn you inside out
When terror's grip has set, your soul is set aflame
Behold the architect of pain
Unearthing fantasies too savage to reveal
Twisting your world with visions centuries concealed
Was he philosopher or was he just insane?
Behold the architect of pain
[Verse 2]
Each tale black as pitch, dressed in the colors of Hell
Your dreams will fill with the sounding of the knell
Feel the looming shadow of the hungry guillotine
And you'll be blinded by the blade's fatal gleam
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Outraging the laws of both nature and religion
Subjugation in behalf of her domain
Or so he believed in all this hate and narcissism
That to fight the inclination's but in vain
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Nature inspires our tastes bizarre
She paints them only as they are
From the darkest corners of the mind
As real as the morning sun shall rise just the same
[Chorus]
He wove his written word with threads of flesh throughout
He promised things so frightening they'll turn you inside out
When terror's grip has set, your soul is set aflame
Behold the architect of pain
Unearthing fantasies too savage to reveal
Twisting your world with visions centuries concealed
Was he philosopher or was he just insane?
Behold the architect of pain
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge 1]
Nature cannot bind you, you only need to serve unto her
Harming without stint or cease
At the expense of whosoever may be
Their pain becomes your paradise, your lust, their demise
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge 2]
Forced you to recognize
The beast within, he helped you to visualize
No desire to torment flesh and bone
The mind can cause far greater destruction alone
When the seed has taken root
It grows impure, your thoughts pollute
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge 3]
All things please nature
She has need of our misdeeds
We serve her as we sin
The bloodier our opus
The greater her domain and her esteem for us
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Nature inspires our tastes bizarre
She paints them only as they are
From the darkest corners of the mind
As real as the morning sun shall rise just the same
[Outro]
Rise just the same
Rise just the same
Rise just the same
Rise just the same
When It Rains It Pours Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Got out of bed about 3 PM, thought it was a holiday
Then my boss called just to tell me I'm late and he's giving my job away
Well I took me a walk to the liquor store so I could drink away my blues
Spent my last ten bucks, then I dropped the bottle and I broke it all over my shoes
So I got home to find the power's shut off, there was someone knocking at my door
It was my landlord serving an eviction notice 'Cause my checks are bouncing off the floor
I pounded my head up against the wall thinking what else could go wrong
But this was only the beginning to a real bad day
It wasn't gonna be a lot of fun
[Pre-Chorus]
I knew I should have never gotten out of bed
'Cause of the rain cloud above my head
I'm down on my luck and it's plain to see
So tell me why does this happen to me?
[Chorus]
When it rains it pours, when it rains it pours on me
When it rains it pours, and there's a storm moving in on me
When it rains it pours, raining down on only me
When it rains it pours, when it rains it pours
[Verse 2]
I drove across town to go see a friend when I heard a siren on my tail
It turned out I had a warrant for my arrest and I couldn't even post the bail
So I'm sittin' in a cell for 48 hours, keepin' company with thieves and drunks
I'm free to go but my car's impounded and I'm thinkin' 'bout becoming a monk
So I'm wandering arund in a catatonic daze, now barely a shell of a man
I look like I live out of a shopping cart and I'm picking up aluminum cans
I staggered my way to an overpass and fell to the dirt asleep
I figured out tomorrow is a new day and maybe I could buy myself a life real cheap
[Pre-Chorus]
I knew I should have never gotten out of bed
'Cause of the rain cloud above my head
I'm down on my luck and it's plain to see
So tell me why does this happen to me?
[Chorus]
When it rains it pours, when it rains it pours on me
When it rains it pours, and there's a storm moving in on me
When it rains it pours, raining down on only me
When it rains it pours, when it rains it pours
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
I knew I should have never gotten out of bed
'Cause of the rain cloud above my head
I'm down on my luck and it's plain to see
So tell me why does this happen to me?
[Chorus]
When it rains it pours, when it rains it pours on me
When it rains it pours, and there's a storm moving in on me
When it rains it pours, raining down on only me
When it rains it pours, when it rains it pours
[Outro]
Damn right I got the blues
Pump It Up Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been on tender-hooks, ending in a dirty look
Listening to the muzak, thinking 'bout this 'n' that
She says that's that, I don't wanna chitter chat
Turn it down a little bit or turn it down flat
[Chorus]
Pump it up when you don't really need it
Pump it up until you can feel it
[Verse 2]
Down in the pleasure center, hell bent or heaven sent
Listen to the propaganda, listen to the latest slander
There's nothing underhand that she wouldn't understand
[Chorus]
Pump it up until you can feel it
Pump it up when you don't really need it
[Bridge]
Hey
[Verse 3]
She's been a bad girl, she's like a chemical
Though you try to stop it, she's like a narcotic
You wanna torture her, you wanna talk to her
All the things you bought for her, could not get her temperature
[Chorus]
Pump it up until you can feel it
Pump it up when you don't really need it
[Verse 4]
Out in the fashion show, down in the bargain bin
You put the passion out under the pressure pin
Fall into submission, hit and run transmission
No use wishing now for any other sin
[Chorus]
Pump it up until you can feel it
Pump it up when you don't really need it
Pump it up until you can feel it
Pump it up when you don't really need it
Pump it up until you can feel it
Pump it up when you don't really need it
When you don't really need it
When you don't really need it
You don't really need it
Feeding Time at the Zoo Lyrics
[Intro]
*Phone ringing*
"Hello?"
"Uh, the monkey department please."
"Yes, well what is it?"
"Oh, I'm interested in, uh, purchasing some monkeys."
"Yes."
"Uh, you, you I understand have some for sale."
"Yes."
"What types of monkeys do you have?"
"Well we have the, um, the spider monkey, we have the little capochan(?) monkeys, we have the cinnamon ring tail. Well what monkey do you want?"
"Well, uh, which are the most tender?"
"Uh, you mean, the, which make the best pet?"
"No, uh, I'm interested in, uh, making a monkey soup."
"A what?"
[Verse 1]
Can you hear the roar? It sounds like a war
It's feeding time at the zoo
When their stomachs start growlin', the wolves start to howl
Live for a bite of what's on our menu
As they pick up the scent they grow violent
And they stampede to the feast
No matter where you're at, you're in their habitat
And they're bound to be disturbing your peace
[Pre-Chorus]
Your last meal left you dissatisfied
Now the zookeepers have arrived
First come, first served, you better get in line
'Cause it's supper time
[Chorus]
Yeah, it's feeding time at the zoo
If you get too close, you'll lose a finger or two
Soothing the savage beast in you
Is the last thing we wanna do
Yeah, it's feeding time at the zoo
All the stories you've heard, every one is true
The time has come for our rendezvous
It's feeding time for me and you
[Verse 2]
See them sweat as the tables are set
And the frenzy's about to begin
Eagerly they await the chance to swallow the bait
And their patience is wearing thin
When they no longer bare to delay this affair
We serve it up, thick and raw
We only cater our way, thrash fuckin' fillets
A banquet if you're hungry to brawl
[Pre-Chorus]
Your last meal left you dissatisfied
Now the zookeepers have arrived
First come, first served, you better get in line
'Cause it's supper time
[Chorus]
Yeah, it's feeding time at the zoo
If you get too close, you'll lose a finger or two
Soothing the savage beast in you
Is the last thing we wanna do
Yeah, it's feeding time at the zoo
All the stories you've heard, every one is true
The time has come for our rendezvous
It's feeding time for me and you
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Yeah, it's feeding time at the zoo
If you get too close, you'll lose a finger or two
Soothing the savage beast in you
Is the last thing we wanna do
Yeah, it's feeding time at the zoo
All the stories you've heard, every one is true
The time has come for our rendezvous
It's feeding time for me and you
Crawl Before You Walk Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Did your daddy ever say to you
Never bite off more than you can chew
And to finish anything you start?
If it's an act, don't play the part
You get your courage from a battle of booze
Give me a task and I'll never refuse
I'll leave you with this sobering thought
Get out of the kitchen if it's getting too hot
[Pre-Chorus]
Action speaks louder than words
And there's a yellow streak down your back
You look weak with your tail between your legs
You better face the fact
[Chorus]
You always speak a lot of noise but I know that all you are is talk
Bettеr hold your tongue or you're gonna bite it off
You gotta crawl bеfore you walk
With your foot in your mouth and you're looking like a clown
You better crawl back under your rock
Backed in a corner 'cause you never learned
You gotta crawl before you walk
[Bridge]
Your back's against the wall, where you gonna go?
Now that I'm up above and you're down below
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Put up or shut up is what I say
Word games are something that I never play
I don't back down, it's win or lose
I've got the bomb, you wanna light the fuse
Shooting off like a loaded gun
Only blanks, no damage done
Eat your words on a dinner plate
Caught on the hook 'cause you swallowed the bait
[Pre-Chorus]
Action speaks louder than words
And there's a yellow streak down your back
You look weak with your tail between your legs
You better face the fact
[Chorus]
You always speak a lot of noise but I know that all you are is talk
Better hold your tongue or you're gonna bite it off
You gotta crawl before you walk
With your foot in your mouth and you're looking like a clown
You better crawl back under your rock
Backed in a corner 'cause you never learned
You gotta crawl before you walk
[Outro]
Crawl before you walk
Crawl before you walk boy
Crawl before you walk
Crawl before you, crawl before you
You gotta crawl before you walk
