Four Letter Word
There's a man who lives next door to a conversation
His family is a daughter, who lives in fear of words
In their perfect neighbourhood made of moulded plastic
Her fantasies are published in a pink Bible
Her daddy swears his love is good
A cold, complacent four letter word
And as the conversation dies
Why does he claim,
"But, I… I need you. I'm alone."?
And he promises her more than some conversation
The words are barely spoken before they are lost
Does it mean that there's no God?
Does that make it better?
Is anyone still listening?
Where's her pink Jesus?
Her daddy swears his love is good
A cold, complacent four letter word
And as the conversation dies
Why does he claim,
"But, I… I need you. I'm alone."?
Love's not an invitation for your decrepit hands
Touch me, I'll break your fingers with my loving kiss
Her daddy swears his love is good
A cold, complacent four letter word
And as the conversation dies
Why does he claim,
"But, I… I need you. I'm alone."?
Her daddy swears his love is good
In harsh, abrasive eyes
A tear reflects a small pink child
He claims,
"I… I need you. I'm alone."
Her daddy swears is love is good.

Guerilla Pacifism
Split my skin open wide
Tear the sinews and veins
Drain the blood, fill the safe
Black and cold
Crude, unclean
Rip the bone from its joint
In its place leave a hole
Putrid flesh, rising steam
Packaged meat
Crude, unclean
With your God at hand
False self confidence
Running, running out
Fall in line, your pacifist debut!
(Fall in line with you)
There's a Godless man
Fearing God again
Running, running out
Fall in line, your pacifist debut!
(Fall in line with you)
Place my seed in the earth
Grow a tree bearing fruit
Replicate my disease
Spread the truth
Crude, unclean
Make me reap what I sow
Rip this heart from its soul
Place this head on a spit
Spin it 'round
Crude, unclean
With your God at hand
False self confidence
Running, running out
Fall in line, your pacifist debut!
(Fall in line with you)
There's a Godless man
Fearing God again
Running, running out
Fall in line, your pacifist debut!
(Fall in line with you)

It’s just another day in mid September
It’s just another movie that I’ve seen
He sits alone cold, scared in the darkness
Just like me
I see you waiting, I see you standing there
Just concentrating on how your life isn’t fair
But you… You seem so different from me
And you… You claim that we cannot see it
It’s just another song for the broken hearted
It’s just another song for the weak inside
It’s just another song for the broken hearted
…Just like me.
I see you waiting, I see you standing there
Just concentrating on how your life isn’t fair
But you… You seem so different from me
And you… You claim that we cannot see it
Would you give it away if its all you’d ever had?
Should you give it away if its all you’d ever had?
Well, I gave it away ‘cause that’s all I’ve ever had.
I see you waiting, I see you standing there
Just concentrating on how your life isn’t fair
But you… You seem so different from me
And you… You claim that we cannot see it
I stand there waiting, my reflection’s all that is there.
I’m just concentrating on how my life isn’t fair.
But you… You don’t seem so different from me.
And you… You said that we cannot see it.
I know that we cannot see it.
I know that we cannot see it.

Hail the poor and sick
The ones who've lost their dreams and savings
On to days of trendy, democratic wastelands
Come tomorrow, there's another hundred
Begging, pleading
Oh, lately, how society has changed
Plastic credit for our plastic souls
Indebted addicts
Yuletide funding for the recent batch of hopeless
Godforsaken by the collars of their Chinese golf tees
Oh, lately, how society has changed
Pure equity denial
Take nothing personal
Pure equity denial
Or maybe, there's just more to life than this…
Hail the poor and sick

Onto days of trendy, democratic wastelands
Come tomorrow, there's another hundred
Begging, pleading
Oh, lately, how society has changed
Plastic credit for our plastic souls
Indebted addicts
Yuletide funding for the reaching batch of homeless
Godforsaken by the collars of their Chinese golf tees
Oh, lately, how society has changed
Pure equity denial
Take nothing personal
Pure equity denial
Or maybe, there's just more to life than this…
Pure equity denial
Take nothing personal
Pure equity denial
Or maybe, there's just more to life than being hard up
Or maybe, there's just more to life than being...
Blown to the ground
We're all better off dead
Yes, we sleep in the gutters
While the banks are seizing our beds
But, we don't understand
How we mortgaged our world
Pure equity denial
Take nothing personal
Pure equity denial
Or maybe, there's just more to life than this…
Pure equity denial
Take nothing personal
Pure equity denial
Or maybe, there's just more to life than being hard up
Oh, God yeah, there's just more to life than being hard up.

We're on the radio
Sing along to every single word you know
Why does it always have to be the ones
Who'd die for Velvet Elvis' robes
Can't you see we're on the radio?

Touch, Taste, Trip
You make me feel like a bottle
Floating up against the waves
Lost out at sea
I'm adrift here
Waiting for the surf to break
Push my head down, down
Passed the roots in the ground
And cover every speck of me
With your trees and your towns
Uh oh, it seems I've reaped what I've sown
Now I'm growing up to be estranged
So unique and odd
Can I be your touch, and your taste, and your sullen eyes?
So serene and calm
Can I be your sickness and pain?

The Cure
Hello and good morning
I love you too
You haven't been sleeping?
It must be this room
You know, I've been praying
I'm not sure to who
But, I tell them you're dying
And ask them for the words to say to you
No more abuse
The cure isn't science
No more abuse
The cancer is enough
I think you could hold me
But, I'm not sure how
This bed is so awkward
These tubes tie you down
Well, I guess I'll be leaving
I'll see you real soon
I hope you feel better
So I can kiss you
No more abuse
The cure isn't science
No more abuse
The cancer is enough

Hey! It's a Desert!

Hey! it's a Desert!
Well it seems to me that there's plenty left of nothing more to say
Useless beats and I, IV, V chords
Pentatonic rape
Well Sgt. Pepper's come and gone
And left here in his wake?
Capt. Default's Three Door Theory of a Nickel's Grace
And I said,
"Hey, it's a desert.
Well, there's so few things that I remember,
But, I ain't ever wrong."
Spoon fed ears ingest the songs the deejay's paid to play
In front row seats and plastic albums
Wrapped in cellophane
Stupid sells and stupid buys
There's nothing more to say
So, let's just see here what we've got...
Are you ready to learn?
