The Threat Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been convicted with and without reason
Tarred and feathered like a piper on a killing spree
And felt the anger of generations
And been a target for the cheap shots of authority
[Pre-Chorus]
So you think you cut me down to size?
Well there's somethin' you should realize
It's gonna take more than a break in the law
To make me smile pretty for the wreckin' ball
[Chorus]
Won't beg (Beg), won't bleed
The end of sacrifice is a, a threat to society
Hard line (Line), you'll see
Once you've made your mark, you've made a threat to society
[Verse 2]
I wasn't put here to be treated
Like some disease you hoped would go away if left alone
Yeah, you can sweep me, huh, under the carpet
But I'll still infect your need to use me as a steppin' stone
[Pre-Chorus]
So you think you cut me down to size
Well there's somethin' you should realize
It's gonna take more than a break in the law
To make me smile pretty for the wreckin' ball
[Chorus]
Won't beg (Beg), I won't bleed
The end of sacrifice is a, a threat to society
Hard line (Line), you'll see
Once you've made your mark, you've made a threat to society
Huh
Ow
[Guitar Solo]
(Get out)
(Huh)
(Oh, yeah, huh)
[Pre-Chorus]
So you think you cut me down to size
Well there's somethin' you should realize
It's gonna take more than a break in the law
To make me smile pretty for the wreckin' ball
[Chorus]
Won't beg (Beg), won't bleed
The end of sacrifice is a, a threat to society
Hard line (Hard line), you'll see
Once you've made your mark, you've made a threat to society
Won't beg (Won't beg), won't bleed
The end of sacrifice is a, a threat, a threat
Hard line (Hard line), you'll see
Once you've made your mark, you've made a threat to society
Creepshow Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Zoned out afternoon
Let's catch "Who's On Top Of Whom"
Tell it like it is, 'cause it isn't anyway
Much to my surprise
I caught it right between the thighs
My sweet little sister was layin' me away
[Pre-Chorus]
My jaw dropped dead to the table
She put my cool in shock, huh
Crack kills and blood spills baby
But psychos, dykes, and transvestites
Are on the choppin' block
Oh, she was singin'
[Chorus]
(Oh no)
I saw my baby on the creepshow
(Out on)
Spillin' my guts out on the news
(Oh no)
I said, I caught my woman on the creepshow
Hit me with a shovel, 'cause I can't belive that I dug you
[Verse 2]
She filled my boots with lead
Was it somethin' that I said?
A picture paints a thousand ugly words
Baby's actin' tough
Check out my fisticuffs
Well, that's just what she deserves
[Pre-Chorus]
Well I can't flip from the station
I can't unplug what is done
Her six-foot-deep temptation
She nicked my shin and then kicked me in
And then she buried me for fun
Well she was singin'
[Chorus]
(Oh no)
I saw my baby on the creepshow
(Out on)
Spillin' my guts out on the news
(Oh no)
I said, I caught my woman on the creepshow
Hit me with a shovel, 'cause I can't belive that I dug you, no
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Well my jaw dropped dead to the table
She put my cool in shock
Crack kills and blood spills baby
But psychos, dykes, and transvestites
Are on the choppin' block
[Chorus]
(Oh no)
I saw my baby on the creepshow
(Out on)
Spillin' my guts out on the news
(Oh no)
I said, I caught my woman on the creepshow
Hit me with a shovel, 'cause I can't belive that I dug you
Oh-oh oh no, oh no, oh no
(Turn on)
She was spillin' my guts out on the news
(Oh no)
Caught my woman on the creepshow
Hit me with a shovel 'cause I can't believe
[Outro]
I can't believe
You know I can't believe
Oh, I can't believe that I dug you
Oh, no no no
Riot Act Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I never wanted to be president
Because it's nothin' but an ego trip, yeah
I didn't want your education
Because it's nothin' but a pile of shit
[Pre-Chorus]
You bore me to death
So shut up for God's sake
[Chorus]
Stop readin' me the riot act
While my brains are still intact
You say it's rainin', but you're pissin' down my back
So stop readin' me the riot act
[Verse 2]
I couldn't listen to a word you said
This goin' nowhere thing is wearin' thin
When your sex, your drugs, and your valid vic'
Is just the spit I wipe off my chin
[Pre-Chorus]
I'd rather go nowhere
Than not know where it's at
[Chorus]
Stop readin' me the riot act
While my brains are still intact
You say it's rainin', but you're pissin' down my back
So stop readin' me the riot act
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 1]
I never wanted to be president
Because it's nothin' but an ego trip, yeah
I didn't want your education
Because it's nothin' but a pile of shit
[Pre-Chorus]
You bore me to death
So shut up for God's sake
[Chorus]
Stop readin' me the riot act
While my brains are still intact
You say it's rainin', but you're pissin' down my back
So stop readin' me
Stop readin' me the riot act
While my brains are still int-t-t-tact
You say it's rainin', but you're pissin' down my back
So stop readin' me the riot act
[Outro]
The riot act
The riot act
The riot act
Wasted Time Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You and I together in our lives
Sacred ties would never fray
Then why can I let myself tell lies
And watch you die every day?
I think back to the times
When dreams were what mattered
Tough-talking youth naivete
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You said you'd never let me down
But the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation
[Chorus]
Is it all just wasted time?
Can you look at yourself
When you think of what you left behind?
Is it all just wasted time?
Can you live with yourself
When you think of what you've left behind?
[Verse 2]
Paranoid delusions, they haunt you
Where's my friend I used to know?
He's all alone, he's buried deep within a
Carcass searching for a soul
Can you feel me inside your heart as it's bleeding?
Why can't you believe you can be loved?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I hear your scream in agony
And the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation
[Chorus]
Is it all just wasted time?
Can you look at yourself
When you think of what you left behind?
Is it all just wasted time?
Can you live with yourself
When you think of what you've left behind
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, you said you'd never let me down
But the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation
[Chorus]
Is it all just wasted time?
Can you look at yourself
When you think of what you left behind?
Is it all just wasted time?
Can you live with yourself
When you think of what you've left behind?
[Outro]
The sun will rise again
The earth will turn to sand
Creation's colors seem to fade to grey
And you'll see the sickly hands of time
Will write your final rhyme
And end your memory, yeah
I never thought you'd let it get this far, boy
I never thought, I never thought you'd let it get this far, boy, oh no
I never thought, I never thought you'd let it get this far, boy, no
I never thought you'd let it get this far, boy
