Civil War Lyrics

[Spoken Intro: Strother Martin]

What we've got here is failure to communicate

Some men, you just can't reach

So you get what we had here last week

Which is the way he wants it

Well, he gets it

*Whistling*

And I don't like it any more than you men

[Bridge]

Look at your young men fighting

Look at your women crying

Look at your young men dying

The way they've always done before

Look at the hate we're breeding

Look at the fear we're feeding

Look at the lives we're leading

The way we've always done before

[Verse 1]

My hands are tied

The billions shift from side to side

And the wars go on with brainwashed pride

For the love of God and our human rights

And all these things are swept aside

By bloody hands, time can't deny

And are washed away by your genocide

And history hides the lies of our civil wars

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]

D'you wear a black armband when they shot the man

Who said, "Peace could last forever"?

And in my first memories, they shot Kennedy

I went numb when I learned to see

So I never fell for Vietnam

We got the wall in D.C. to remind us all

That you can't trust freedom when it's not in your hands

When everybody's fightin' for their promised land

[Chorus]

And I don't need your civil war

It feeds the rich, while it buries the poor

Your power-hungry, sellin' soldiers in a human grocery store

Ain't that fresh?

I don't need your civil war

Ooh, no, no, no, no, no, no

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Look at the shoes you're filling

Look at the blood we're spilling

Look at the world we're killing

The way we've always done before

Look in the doubt we've wallowed

Look at the leaders we've followed

Look at the lies we've swallowed

And I don't wanna hear no more

[Verse 3]

My hands are tied

For all I've seen has changed my mind

But still, the wars go on as the years go by

With no love of God or human rights

And all these dreams are swept aside

By bloody hands of the hypnotized

Who carry the cross of homicide

And history bears the scars of our civil wars

[Guitar Solo]

[Interlude]

We practice selective annihilation

Of mayors and government officials

For example, to create a vacuum

Then we fill that vacuum

As popular war advances

Peace is closer

[Chorus]

I don't need your civil war

It feeds the rich, while it buries the poor

Your power-hungry, sellin' soldiers in a human grocery store

Ain't that fresh?

I don't need your civil war

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I don't need your civil war

Your power-hungry, sellin' soldiers in a human grocery store

Ain't that fresh?

I don't need your civil war

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

I don't need one more war

Ooh, I don't need one more war

No, no, no, no woah, no woah

[Outro]

What's so civil 'bout war anyway?

14 Years Lyrics

[Verse 1: Izzy Stradlin]

I try and feel the sunshine, you bring the rain

You try and hold me down with your complaints

You cry and moan and complain, you whine and tear

Up to my neck in sorrow the touch you bring

[Pre-Chorus: Izzy Stradlin]

You just don't step inside to, to fourteen years

So hard to keep my own head, that's what I say and you know

I've been the beggar, I've played the thief

I was the dog they all tried to beat

[Chorus: Izzy Stradlin & Axl Rose, Axl Rose]

But it's been fourteen years of silence, ιt's been fourteen years of pain

It's been fourteen years that are gone forever and I'll never have again, well

[Verse 2: Izzy Stradlin]

Your stupid girlfriends tell you, that I'm to blame

Well, they're all used up has-beens out of the game

This time I'll have the last word, you hear what I say?

I tried to see it your way, it won't work today

[Pre-Chorus: Izzy Stradlin]

You just don't step inside to, to fourteen years

So hard to keep my own head, that's what I say, you know

I've been the dealer hangin' on your street

I was the dog they all tried to beat

[Chorus: Izzy Stradlin & Axl Rose, Axl Rose]

But it's been fourteen years of silence, ιt's been 14 years of pain

It's been fourteen years that are gone forever and I'll never have again, well

[Guitar Solo]

Yeah, it's been nada

[Verse 3: Izzy Stradlin]

Bullshit and contemplation, gossip's their trade

If they knew half the real truth, what would they say?

Well I'm past the point of concern, it's time to play

These last four years of madness sure put me straight

[Outro: Izzy Stradlin]

You don't get back fourteen years in just one day

So hard to keep my own head, just go away, you know

Just like a hooker, she said, "Nothin for free"

Oh, I tried to see it your way, I tried to see it your way

Yesterdays Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Yesterday, there was so many things I was never told

Now that I'm starting to learn, I feel I'm growing old

'Cause yesterday's got nothing for me

Old pictures that I'll always see

Time just fades the pages in my book of memories

Prayers in my pocket, and no hand in destiny

I'll keep on movin' along with no time to plant my feet

'Cause yesterday's got nothing for me

Old pictures that I'll always see

Some things could be better if we'd all just let them be

[Chorus]

Ooh, yesterday's got nothing for me

Yesterday's got nothing for me

Got nothing for me, ooh, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]

Yesterday, there were so many things I was never shown

Suddenly, this time I found I'm on the streets and I'm all alone

Yesterday's got nothing for me

Old pictures that I'll always see

I ain't got time to reminisce old novelties

[Chorus]

Ooh, yesterday's got nothing for me

Yesterday's, ooh, got nothing for me

Yesterday's got nothing for me

Yesterday

[Outro]

Yesterday

Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door Lyrics

[Intro: Axl Rose]

Ooh, ooh

Hey

[Verse 1: Axl Rose]

Mama, take this badge from me

I can't use it anymore

It's gettin' dark, too dark to see

Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door

[Chorus: Axl Rose]

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, hey, hey, hey hey yeah

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, ooh

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, ooh-oh yeah

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, ayy hey yeah

Ooh-oh yeah, oh yeah, aw

[Verse 2: Axl Rose]

Mama, put my guns in the ground (Ooh)

I can't shoot them anymore (Ooh)

That cold black cloud is comin' down (Ooh)

Feels like I'm knockin' on heaven's door (Ooh)

[Chorus: Axl Rose]

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, hey, hey, hey hey yeah

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, ooh yeah

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, ayy hey yeah

Ooh

[Guitar Solo]

[Spoken: Josh Richman]

You just better start sniffin' your own rank subjugation, Jack

Because it's just you against your tattered libido, the bank, and the mortician, forever, man

And it wouldn't be luck if you could get out of life alive

[Outro: Axl Rose, Choir & Both]

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, hey, hey, hey-hey yeah

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, ooh yeah

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, ooh, no, no, no, woah-oh

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, no, no, no, woah, no

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, woah-woah, woah-yeah

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, ooh yeah

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door

Knock-knock-knockin' on heaven's door, woah, woah, woah

Woah, woah, yeah, oh

Get in the Ring Lyrics

[Intro]

Yeah, c'mon

[Verse 1]

Why do you look at me, when you hate me?

Why should I look at you, when you make me hate you too?

I sense a smell of retribution in the air

I don't even understand why the fuck you even care

[Chorus]

And I don't need your jealousy, yeah

Why drag me down in your misery? (Yeah)

[Verse 2]

And when you stare, you don't think I feel it

But I'm gonna deal it back to you in spades

When I'm having fun, you know I can't conceal it

'Cause I know you'd never cut it in my game, oh, no

[Chorus]

And when you're talking about a vasectomy, yeah

I'll be writing down your obituary, history, ouh

[Bridge]

You got your bitches with the silicone injections

Crystal meth and yeast infections

Bleached blond hair, collagen lip injections

Who are you to criticize my intentions?

Got your subtle, manipulative devices

Just like you, I got my vices

I got a thought that would be nice

I'd like to crush your head, tight in my vice

Pain

[Interlude]

And that goes for all you punks in the press, that want to start shit by printing lies instead of the things we said

That means you, Andy Secher at Hit Parader, Circus magazine, Mick Wall at Kerrang!

Bob Guccione Jr. at Spin, what you pissed off 'cause your dad gets more pussy than you?

Fuck you, suck my fucking dick

You be ripping off the fucking kids while they be paying their hard-earned money to read about the bands they want to know about?

Printing lies, starting controversy, you want to antagonize me?

Antagonize me, motherfucker, get in the ring, motherfucker and I'll kick your bitchy little ass, punk

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

I don't like you, I just hate you

I'm gonna kick your ass

Oh yeah

Oh yeah, ouh

Ahahahaha

[Chorus]

You may not like our integrity, yeah

We built a world out of anarchy, oh yeah

[Outro]

And in this corner, weighing

In at 850 pounds, Guns N' Roses!

Get in the ring, get in the ring, get in the ring, get in the ring

Get in the ring, get in the ring, get in the ring, get in the ring (get the fuck in!)

Get in the ring, get in the ring, get in the ring, get in the ring

Yeah

[Slash]:

This song is dedicated to all the Guns N' Fuckin' Roses fans

Who've stuck with us through all the fucking shit

And to all those opposed - hmm, well...

[Crowd]:

Get in the ring, get in the ring...

Shotgun Blues Lyrics

[Chorus]

I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues

I said, I don't know what I did, but I know I gotta move

I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues

I can't wait here forever, I got too much here to lose

[Verse 1]

An' now you are blowing smoke, I think you're one big joke

Me? I got to lot to learn an' I am still waiting for the heads to turn

You say I walk a line, fuck, they move it every time

You walk a mile in my shoes and then you tell me 'bout singin' the blues

Ah, well, you get what you pay for and freedom's real high priced

And while your ripping off childrens, somebody's fuckin' your wife

It's never made a difference, it's only how you survive

[Chorus]

I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues

I said, I don't know what I did, but I know I gotta move

I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues

I can't wait here forever, I got too much here to lose

[Verse 2]

An' now you ask me why, I said, "It's do or die"

I'll stick it right in your face and then I'll put you in your motherfuckin' place

And you, you can suck my ass an' I think it is so low class

Me? I'm just so concerned, I'm still waitin' for your ass to burn

Oh, you want a confrontation? I'll give you every fuckin' chance

With your verbal masturbation, me? I just like to dance

How's that for provocation? I'm just making a stance

[Bridge]

And I'm tired of the frustration of living inside of your lies

And I am wired on indignation, I said, somebody's got to die

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues

I said, I don't know what I did, but I know I gotta move

I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues

I can't wait here forever, I got too much here to lose

I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues

Listen motherfucker, you're about to pay your dues

I got the shotgun blues, shotgun blues

If you're goin' up against me then you know you're gonna lose

[Outro]

You think anyone with an I.Q. over 15

Would believe your shit, fuckhead?

Nothing but a fucking pussy

Breakdown Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We all come in from the cold, we come down from the wire

An' everybody warms themselves to a different fire

An' sometimes we get burned, you'd think sometime we'd learn

The one you love is the one that should take you higher

You ain't got no one, you better go back out and find 'em

[Verse 2]

Just like children hidin' in a closet, can't tell what's goin' on outside

Sometimes, we're so far off the beaten track, we get taken for a ride

By a parlor trick, or some words of wit, a hidden hand up a sleeve

To think the one you love could hurt you now is a little hard to believe

But everybody, darlin', sometimes bites the hand that feeds

[Verse 3]

When I look around an' everybody always brings me down

Well, is it them or me? Well, I just can't see but there ain't no peace to found

But if someone really cared, well, they'd take the time to spare

A moment to try and understand another one's despair

Remember, in this game we call life, that no one said it's fair

[Chorus]

Breakdown (Let me hear it now)

Breakdown (Let me hear it now, yeah)

Breakdown (Let me hear it now)

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]

I've come to know the cold, I think of it as home

When there ain't enough of me to go around, I'd rather be left alone

But if I call you out of habit, I'm out of love and I gotta have it

Would you give it to me if I fit your needs? Like when we both knew we had it

Now, the damage's done and we're back out on the run

Funny how everything was roses when we held on to the guns

Just because you're winnin' don't mean you're the lucky one

[Chorus]

Breakdown (Let me hear it now)

Breakdown (Yeah)

Breakdown (Let me hear it now)

[Guitar Solo]

There goes the Challenger, bein' chased by the blue, blue meanies on wheels

The vicious traffic squad cars are after our lone driver

The last American hero, the-the electric sitar

The demi-god, the super driver of the golden west

Two nasty Nazi cars are close behind the beautiful, lone driver

The police cars are getting closer, closer

Closer to our soul hero in his soul mobile

Yeah, baby, they about to strike

They gonna get him, smash, rape

The last beautiful free soul on this planet

[Outro]

But it is written

If the evil spirit arms the tiger with claws

Brahman provided wings for the dove

Thus spake the super guru

D'you hear that?

Pretty Tied Up Lyrics

4 ContributorsPretty Tied Up (Live) LyricsThe pearls of rock 'n' roll decadence

I know this chick, she lives down on Melrose

She ain't satisfied without some pain

Friday night is goin' up inside her again

Crack the whip and that bitch is just insane

I'm serious

She's pretty tied up hangin' upside down

She's pretty tied up and you can ride her

She's pretty tied up hangin' upside down

I can't tell you she's the right one

Oh no, oh no, oh no

Once there was this rock 'n' roll band

Rollin' on the streets

Time went by and it became a joke

We just needed more and more fulfilling, uh-huh

Time went by and it all went up in smoke

But check it out

She's pretty tied up hangin' upside down

She's pretty tied up and you can ride her

She's pretty tied up hangin' upside down

Ohh I can't tell you she's the right one

Oh no, oh no, oh no

Once you made that money it costs more now

It might cost a lot more than you'd think

I just found a million dollars

That someone forgot

It's days like this that push me over the brinks

Cool and stressing

She's pretty tied up hangin' upside down

She's pretty tied up and you can ride her

She's pretty tied up hangin' upside down

And I can't tell you she's the right one

Oh she's the right one

And I can't tell you she's the right one

Oh no, oh no, oh no

But I can tell you a thing or two

'Bout somethin' else

If you really wanna know

Know what I'm sayin'

Locomotive Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Gonna find a way to cure this loneliness

Yeah, I'll find a way to cure the pain

If I said that you're my friend and our love would never end

How long before I had your trust again?

I opened up the doors when it was cold outside

Hoping that you'd find your own way in

But how can I protect you, or try not to neglect you

When you won't take the love I have to give?

[Bridge]

Yeah, I bought me an illusion and I put it on the wall

I let it fill my head with dreams and I had to have them all

But, oh, the taste is never so sweet as what you'd believe it is

Well, I guess it never is, it's these prejudiced illusions

That pump the blood to the heart of the biz

[Solo 1]

[Verse 2]

You know, I never thought that it could take so long

You know I never knew how to be strong

Yeah, I let you shape me, but I feel as though you raped me

'Cause you climbed inside my world and in my song

So now I've closed the door to keep the cold outside

Seems, somehow, I've found the will to live

But how can I forget you, or try not to reject you

When we both know it takes time to forgive? Yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

Sweetness is a virtue and you lost your virtue long ago

You know I'd like to hurt you but my conscience always tells me "No"

You could sell your body on the street to anyone whom you might meet

Who'd love to try and get inside and bust your innocence open wide

[Chorus]

'Cause my baby's got a locomotive, my baby's gone off the track

My baby's got a locomotive, got to peel the bitch off my back

I know it looks like I'm insane

Take a closer look, I'm not to blame, no

[Guitar Solo 2]

[Verse 3]

Gonna have some fun with my frustration

Gonna watch the big screen in my head

I'd rather take a detour 'cause this road ain't getting clearer

Your train of thought has cut me off again

"Better tame that boy, 'cause he's a wild one

Better tame that boy 'fore he's a man"

Sweetheart, don't make me laugh, you's getting too big for your pants

And I think maybe you should cut out while you can

[Bridge]

You can use your illusion, let it take you where it may

We live and learn, and then, sometimes, it's best to walk away

Me, I'm just here hanging on, it's my only place to stay

At least for now, anyway

I've worked too hard for my illusions just to throw them all away

[Guitar Solo 3]

[Verse 4]

I'm taking time for quiet consolation

In passing by this love that's passed away

I know it's never easy, so why should you believe me

When I've always got so many things to say?

Callin' off the dogs, a simple choice is made

'Cause playful hearts can sometimes be enraged

You know I tried to wake you, I mean how long could it take you

To open up your eyes and turn the page?

[Pre-Chorus]

Kindness is a treasure and it's one, towards me, you've seldom shown

So, I'll say it, for good measure, to all the ones like you, I've known;

Ya know I'd like to shave your head and all my friends could paint it red

'Cause love to me is a two-way street, an' all I really want is peace

[Chorus]

But my baby's got a locomotive, my baby's gone off the track

My baby got a locomotive, got to peel the bitch off my back

I know it looks like I'm insane

Take a closer look, I'm not to blame, no

[Guitar Solo 4]

[Pre-Chorus]

Affection is a blessing, can you find it in your sordid heart?

I tried to keep this thing together but the tremor tore my pad apart

Yeah, I know, it's hard to face when all we've worked for's gone to waste

But you're such a stupid woman and I'm such a stupid man

But love, like time, 's got its own plans

[Chorus]

But my baby's got a locomotive, my baby's gone off the track

My baby got a locomotive, got to peel the bitch off my back

I know it looks like I'm insane

Take a closer look, I'm not to blame, no

Yeah, if love is blind, I guess I'll buy myself a cane

[Breakdown Solo 4]

[Outro]

Love's so strange

So Fine Lyrics

[Intro: Axl Rose]

Ooh, ah

[Refrain: Axl Rose & Duff McKagan]

How could she look so fine?

How could it be, she might be mine?

How could she be so cool?

I've been taken for a fool, so many times, hey

[Verse 1: Duff McKagan]

It's a story of a man who works as hard as he can

Just to be a man who stands on his own

But the book always burns as the story takes its turn

And leaves a broken man

[Refrain: Axl Rose & Duff McKagan]

How could she be so cool? Ah

How could she be so fine?

I owe a favor to a friend

My friends, they always come through for me

[Verse 2: Duff McKagan]

It's a story of a man who works as hard as he can

Just to be a man who stands on his own

But the book always burns as the story takes its turn

And leaves a broken man

If you could only live my life you could see the difference

You make to me, to me

[Chorus: Duff McKagan]

And I'd look right up at night

And all I'd see was darkness

Now, I see the stars, alright

I want to reach right up and grab one for you

When the lights went down in your house

Yeah, that made me happy

The sweat I make for you

Yeah, I think you know where that comes from

Guitar, come on

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Duff McKagan]

Yeah, when I look right up at night

And all I'd see was darkness

Now, I see the stars, alright

I want to reach right up and grab one for you

When the lights went down in your house

Yeah, that made me happy

The sweat I make for you

I think you know where that comes from

[Refrain: Axl Rose]

How could she look so good? So good

How could she be so fine?

How could she be so cool?

How could it be, she might be mine?

Yeah

Estranged Lyrics

[Intro]

When you're talkin' to yourself

And nobody's home

You can fool yourself

You came in this world alone, alone

[Chorus]

So nobody ever told you, baby

How it was gonna be?

What'll happen to you, baby?

Guess we'll have to wait and see

(One, two)

[Verse 1]

Old at heart, but I'm only twenty-eight

And I'm much too young to let love break my heart

Young at heart, but it's getting much too late

To find ourselves so far apart

[Bridge]

I don't know how you're s'posed to find me lately

And what more could you ask from me?

How could you say that I never needed you?

When you took everything

Said, you took everything from me

Hey, yeah

[Verse 2]

Young at heart, and it gets so hard to wait

When no one I know can seem to help me now

Old at heart, but I mustn't hesitate

If I'm to find my own way out

[Pre-Chorus]

Still, talkin' to myself

And nobody's home, alone

[Chorus]

So nobody ever told us, baby

How it was gonna be

What'll happen to us, baby?

Guess we'll have to wait and see

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

When I find out all the reasons

Maybe I'll find another way, find another day

With all the changin' seasons of my life

Maybe I'll get it right next time

And now that you've been broken down

Got your head out of the clouds

Back down on the ground

And you don't talk so loud

And you don't walk so proud

Anymore and what for?

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]

Well, I jumped into the river

Too many times to make it home

I'm out here on my own

And drifting all alone

If it doesn't show, give it time

To read between the lines

[Refrain]

'Cause I see the storm is getting closer

And the waves, they get so high

Seems everything we've ever known's here

Why must it drift away and die?

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]

I'll never find anyone to replace you

Guess I'll have to make it through this time

Woah, this time

Without you

[Refrain]

I knew the storm was getting closer

And all my friends said I was high

But everything we've ever known's here

I never wanted it to die

You Could Be Mine Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

I'm a cold heartbreaker, fit to burn

And I'll rip your heart in two

And I'll leave you lyin' on the bed

I'll be out the door before you wake

It's nothin' new to you

'Cause I think we've seen that movie, too, aw

[Chorus]

'Cause you could be mine

But you're way out of line

With your bitch slap rappin' and your cocaine tongue

You get nothin' done

I said, you could be mine, aw

[Verse 2]

Now, holidays come and then they go

It's nothin' new today

Collect another memory

When I come home, late at night

Don't ask me where I've been

Just count your stars, I'm home again

[Chorus]

'Cause you could be mine

But you're way out of line (Aw)

With your bitch slap rappin' and your cocaine tongue

You get nothin' done

I said, you could be mine

[Bridge]

You could be mine, you could be mine

You could be mine, mine, mine, mine

You've gone sketching too many times

Ooh, why don't you give it a rest?

Why must you find

Another reason to cry?

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Well, you're breakin' down my back and I've been rackin' out my brain

It don't matter how we make it, 'cause it always ends the same

You can push it for more mileage, but your flaps are wearing thin

And I could sleep on it 'til mornin', but this nightmare never ends

Don't forget to call my lawyers with ridiculous demands

An' you can take the pity so far, but it's more than I can stand

'Cause this couch-trip's gettin' older, tell me, how long has it been?

'Cause five years is forever, and you haven't grown up yet

[Chorus]

Oh, you could be mine

But you're way out of line

With your bitch slap rappin' and your cocaine tongue

You get nothin' done

I bet you could be, you should be

You could be mine

[Outro]

Oh, you could be mine (You could be mine)

You could be mine (You could be mine)

Aw, you could be mine (You could be mine)

You could be mine (You could be mine)

Aw, you could be mine (You could be mine)

You could be mine, yeah

Don’t Cry (alt. lyrics) Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Talk to me softly, there's something in your eyes

Don't hang your head in sorrow and please don't cry

I know how you feel inside, I've, I've been there before

Something is changing inside you and don't you know?

[Chorus]

Don't you cry tonight

I still love you, baby

And don't you cry tonight

Don't you cry tonight

There's a heaven above you, baby

And don't you cry tonight

[Verse 2]

Give me a whisper and give me a sigh

Give me a kiss before you tell me goodbye

Don't you take it so hard now and please don't take it so bad

I'll still be thinking of you and the times we had, baby

[Chorus]

And don't you cry tonight

Don't you cry tonight

There's a heaven above you, baby

And don't you cry tonight

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

And please remember that I never lied, oh

And please remember how I felt inside now, honey

You gotta make it your own way, but you'll be alright now, sugar

You'll feel better tomorrow, come the morning light now, baby

[Chorus]

And don't you cry tonight

Don't you cry tonight

There's a heaven above you, baby

And don't you cry

Don't you ever cry

Don't you cry tonight

Baby, maybe someday

Don't you cry

Don't you ever cry

Don't you cry tonight

My World Lyrics

[Verse]

You wanna step into my world?

It's a socio-psychotic state of bliss

You been delayed in the real world

How many times have you hit and missed?

Your CAT scan shows disfiguration

I wanna laugh myself to death

With a misfired synapse, with a bent configuration

I'll hold the line while you gasp for breath

[Chorus]

You wanna talk to me?

So talk to me

You wanna talk to me?

So talk to me

You wanna talk to me?

So talk to me

You wanna talk to me?

So talk to me

You wanna talk to me?

You don't understand your sex

You wanna talk to me?

You ain't been mindfucked yet

[Outro]

Let's do it

Oh, my distorted smile

Guess what I'm doin' now? Ah
