The Kibosh King
02:41

I got a hair on my tongue I can't get it off
You know how much I hate that don't you
Of course you do, you put it there
Tragic clown's comin' to get you, baby
That cherry scent's Binaca, baby
It burns my eyes but it's worth the pain
You know the story of Pagliacci
Betrayed by his lover won't you tell me his name
Sic Semper Tyrannis again
I thought you were my friend
But you think I'm a clown
You put the kibosh on my deal
Now I'm gonna put the kibosh on you
You know I've kiboshed before
You know I'm gonna kibosh again
And now I'm, now I'm gonna put the kibosh on you
You, you, you
You, you, you
You, you, you
You, you, you

The Opposite
01:57
|
|||
|
Every decision I have ever made
In my entire life has been wrong
From now on up is down
Black is white
Good is bad
And day is night
If every instinct that I have is wrong
The opposite would have to be right
From now on up is down
Black is white
Good is bad
And day is night
Ignore the urges to be a better man
Good judgement gone I do everything I can
From now on up is down
Black is white
Good is bad
And day is night
My messiah - the antichrist
My desire - the world on ice
My religion - think what you wanna think
And do the opposite now
Do the opposite now
Do the opposite now
Do the opposite now

Communista Simpatico
01:42
|
|||
|
I'm not a business man per se
Causing dissent, stirring the pot
Sit at Hop Sing's tonight
They call me commie
They call me pinko rat
They call me commie
But they don't know where it's at
Bland, drab, olive coloured clothing
No fancy shirts
Communista simpatico, el Presidente
They call me commie
They call me pinko rat
They call me commie
But they don't know where I'm at
They named names
Blacklisted
They named names
Blacklisted now
Another day another dollar, makin' big bucks
Money, money, money
Where'd a nice boy learn such a bad word
Commie, commie, commie
They call me commie
They call me pinko rat
They call me commie
But they don't know where I'm at
They named names
Blacklisted
They named names
Blacklisted now

Eww, Mr. Apple

I've given this a lot of thought
I'm sorry but we've got to break up
I know it may come as a surprise
But I, I want out
I thought I had an airtight case
But you refused to give up on us
It's like launching missiles from a submarine
Oh oh oh won't you turn your key
Turn your key, Maura, turn your key
Turn your key, Maura, turn your key
Turn your key, Maura, turn your key
Turn your key, Maura, turn your key
Why does it seem like I'm the only one
Workin' at this breakup now
You say you listened but you were not convinced
Oh I was rambling and flimsy
And you wouldn't budge an inch oh oh oh
Turn your key, Maura, turn your key
Turn your key, Maura, turn your key
Turn your key, Maura, turn your key
Turn your key, Maura, turn your key
Ewwww, Mr. Apple
You've got a brown spot
You don't know what you've got
Mr. Mashed Potatoes you're so good
I don't think that I'll ever stop loving you, oh no
Turn your key, Maura, turn your key
Turn your key, Maura, turn your key
Turn your key, Maura, turn your key
Turn your key, Maura, turn your key

Images of You
02:26
|

|
There's something wrong with me of this I'm sure
Images of her flicker in my brain
I've got a feeling it ain't right
But I gotta see it through
'Cause all I see are images of you
And tonight I don't know who I am
And tonight I don't really care
'cause tonight I've got nothing to lose
Since you left me standing there
And it plays over and over and over in my head
I guess I'll never know
What it was you saw in me
I guess I'll never know
What it was you could not see
I've got a feeling it ain't right
But I gotta see it through
'Cause all I see are images of you
And tonight I don't know who I am
And tonight I don't really care
'cause tonight I've got nothing to lose
Since you left me standing there
And it plays over and over and over in my head
I guess I'll never know
I guess I'll never know
I guess I'll never know
I guess I'll never know

I’m no good for you and we both, we both know it
I’ve got no excuse and we both, we both ignore it
So put me in my place forget and hit erase
‘cause there’s so much more
Than what’s in front of you, if only you knew
You’d be out that door
So don’t let me down so easy
Yeah don’t let me down so easy
Don’t let me down so easy
I don’t deserve it
You’re not coming home tonight
and we both, we both know it
I’m not gonna try and make it right
‘cause it wouldn’t be right and I know it
So put me in my place forget and hit erase
‘cause there’s so much more
Than what’s in front of you, if only you knew
You’d be out that door
So don’t let me down so easy
Yeah don’t let me down so easy
Don’t let me down so easy
I don’t deserve it
In a night a lot can change
With the night comes the next day
I only want the best for you
I screwed up, I was untrue
Do what you gotta do
So don’t let me down so easy
Yeah don’t let me down so easy
Don’t let me down so easy
I don’t deserve it

Lookin' Out for #1
02:01
|

I don't wanna live forever
I don't wanna die
I don't wanna be alone
But I'm too tired to try
And I don't know why
I do what I've done
I'm just lookin' out, I'm lookin' out
I'm lookin' out for number one
It's not true what they say
Good things don't come to those who wait
When things start lookin' up it's too little too late
And I don't know why
I do what I've done
I'm just lookin' out, I'm lookin' out
I'm lookin' out for number one
It's not just me, it's this generation
It's not just me, under sedation
It's not just me, no destination
It's not just me who can't sleep at night
You're not the only one who can't sleep at night
You're not the only one who can't sleep at night
You're not the only one who can't sleep at night
You're not the only one who can't sleep at night
You're not the only one who can't sleep at night
You're not the only one who can't sleep at night
You're not the only one who can't sleep at night

Can't Get Over You
02:13
|

Another day, another night
Where nothing gets done and nothing ain't right
Same old song and same old story
Where everything's the same and it's so boring
I can't get over, I can't get over
I can't get over you
I can't get over, I can't get over
I can't get over you
Can't seem to cope, can't keep my cool
I never shoulda got your name tattooed
Or maybe not, but maybe it's true
I never ever ever got over you
I can't get over, I can't get over
I can't get over you
I can't get over, I can't get over
I can't get over you
I can't get over, I can't get over
I can't get over you
I can't get over, I can't get over
I can't get over you

I'm Splittin'
02:53

I've been known to drink a beer or two
But then again I've been known to do a lot of things
Cigarettes, I suck 'em down like Coca-Coca-Cola
I've got sneakin' suspicion, that you're a rock'n'rolla
Yeah I'm hip to the scene
Yeah I'm hip to your scene
I've been known to drink a beer or two
But then again I've been known to do a lot of things
Cigarettes, I suck 'em down like Coca-Coca-Cola
I've got sneakin' suspicion, that you're a rock'n'rolla
Yeah I'm hip to the scene
Yeah I'm hip to your whole scene
Here's to feeling good all time
Here's to when to cut the line
Here's to common sense
Here's to your decline
Yeah I'm hip to the scene
Yeah I'm hip to your whole scene
Yeah I'm hip to the scene
Yeah I'm hip to your whole scene

I can't remember anything
Since they took apart my brain and wiped it clean
I don't know what I've done
I just sit and stare at the sun
Don't know how to have fun now
I don't know what I'm supposed to say
'cause I don't have that part of my brain
I don't know what I've done
I just sit and stare at the sun
Don't know how to have fun now
If one and one is two
Well I learn something new everyday
If two and two is four
Lock my key inside the door and walk away
Walk away
They put me on a table, knocked me out
To this day I still don't know what it was all about
I don't know what I've done
I just sit and stare at the sun
Don't know how to have fun now
Somebody took something from me - lobotomy
Somebody took something from me - lobotomy
Somebody took something from me - lobotomy
Somebody took something from me

Cry, Cry Again

Bad seed, I'm a horrible seed
I'm the worst seed you've ever seen
Anna digs the bad boys, I'm in the bloodstream
Got a letterman jacket from the football team
I've got you in the palm of my hand
You wanna know but you won't understand
What I'm up to
You don't wanna know
You don't wanna know
You don't wanna know
You don't wanna know
Outta my way I've got a film to shoot
It's called Cry, Cry Again
I'm a bootlegger now, I could do hard time
If I get caught I'll get five to ten
I've got you in the palm of my hand
You wanna know but you won't understand
What I'm up to
You don't wanna know
You don't wanna know
You don't wanna know
You don't wanna know
You don't wanna know
You don't wanna know
You don't wanna know
You don't wanna know
I'm a bad seed, I'm a bad bad man
I'm a bad seed, I'm a bad bad man
I'm a bad seed, I'm a bad bad man
I'm a bad seed, I'm a bad bad man

Can't Do Drugs
01:50

I can't smoke pot, I can't eat shrooms
I can't hardly leave the house
I go to work, I go to sleep
I wake up on the couch
My mind ain't what it used to be
Yes that much is true
My mind ain't what it used to be
Something came unglued
Don't want you coming 'round
Don't call me on the phone
Don't want you coming 'round
Just wanna be alone
Well I used to take two hits of LSD
And be just fine
But if I tried that know
Well I'd surely lose my mind
My mind ain't what it used to be
Yes that much is true
My mind ain't what it used to be
Something came unglued
Don't want you coming 'round
Don't call me on the phone
Don't want you coming 'round
Just wanna be alone
My mind ain't what it used to be
Yes that much is true
My mind ain't what it used to be
Something came unglued
Don't want you coming 'round
Don't call me on the phone
Don't want you coming 'round
Just wanna be alone

Aim for the Heart
03:07

If things aren't adding up, start taking away
She never meant that much to me anyway
And I'm on my own
Sittin' in the basement just-a biding my time
A pack of cigarettes and a bottle of wine
And I'm on my own
When the groove becomes a rut and you can't get out
Climbin' the walls 'cause you can't be without her now
It's hard to make plans when you ain't got a future
A part time punk and a part time loser
Maybe something will change tonight
Since she went away things haven't been the same
My friends don't come around 'cause they say I'm lame
But maybe something will change tonight
When the groove becomes a rut and you can't get out
And you're climbin' the walls 'cause you can't be without her now
Shoot for the moon (shoot for the moon)
Aim for the stars (aim for the stars)
Shoot to kill
Aim for the heart
Shoot for the moon (shoot for the moon)
Aim for the stars (aim for the stars)
Shoot to kill
Aim for the heart
When things aren't adding up, start taking away
I was never good at math and through the teeth I paid
And I'm on my own
Sittin' in the basement just-a writin' a tune
It's 4 AM now, be 5 AM soon
And I'm on my own
When the groove becomes a rut and you can't get out
And you're climbin' the walls 'cause you can't do without her now
Shoot for the moon (shoot for the moon)
Aim for the stars (aim for the stars)
Shoot to kill
Aim for the heart
Shoot for the moon (shoot for the moon)
Aim for the stars (aim for the stars)
Shoot to kill
Aim for the heart

Have you lost it yet
Oh have you lost it yet
Have you lost your mind like I lost mine
Have you lost it yet
Oh have you lost it yet
Have you lost your mind just give it a little time
We both know it was doomed from the start
So why'd you go and let me, let me
Mutilate my heart
Have you lost it yet
Oh have you lost it yet
Have you lost your mind like I lost mine
Have you lost it yet
Oh have you lost it yet
Have you lost your mind just give it a little time
Oh oh oh it's a shame
Oh oh oh who's to blame
Oh you can change your name
But you can't change the name of the game
Have you lost it yet
Oh have you lost it yet
Have you lost your mind like I lost mine
Have you lost it yet
Oh have you lost it yet
Have you lost your mind just give it a little time
We both know it was doomed from the start
So why'd you go and let me, let me
Mutilate my heart
Have you lost it yet
Oh have you lost it yet
Have you lost your mind like I lost mine
Have you lost it yet
Oh have you lost it yet
Have you lost your mind just give it a little time
