Dear God, "Do you want to tear your knuckles down
And hold yourself?" Dear God, "Can you climb up that tree Meat in the shape of a T?" Dear God, the paper says you were the King In the black limousine Dear John and all the King's men Can't put your head together again Before the bullets, before the flies Before authorities take out my eyes The only smiling are you dolls that I made But you are plastic, so are your brains Dear God, the sky is as blue As a gunshot wound Dear God, if you were alive You know, we'd kill you Before the bullets, before the flies Before authorities take out my eyes The only smiling are you dolls that I made But you are plastic, so are your brains 02.

Nothing suffocates you more than
The passing of everyday human events An isolation is the oxygen mask you make Your children breath in to survive Well, I'm not a slave to a god That doesn't exist Well, I'm not a slave to a world That doesn't give a shit And when we were good You just closed your eyes So when we are bad We'll scar your minds Fight, fight, fight, fight Fight, fight, fight, fight You'll never grow up to be a big Rock star Celebrated victim of your fame They'll just cut our wrists like cheap coupons And say that death was on sale today And when we were good You just closed your eyes So when we are bad We'll scar your minds Well, I'm not a slave to a god That doesn't exist Well, I'm not a slave to a world That doesn't give a shit The death of one is a tragedy The death of one is a tragedy The death of one is a tragedy But the death of millions is just a statistic Well, I'm not a slave to a god That doesn't exist Well, I'm not a slave to a world That doesn't give a shit Well, I'm not a slave to a god That doesn't exist Well, I'm not a slave to a world That doesn't give a shit Fight, fight, fight, fight Fight, fight, fight, fight 04.

In The Shadow Of The Valley Of Death
We have no future
Heaven wasn't made for me We burn ourselves to Hell As fast as it can be I wish that I could be a King Then I'd know that I am not alone Maggots put on shirts Sell each others shit Sometimes I feel so worthless Sometimes I feel discarded I wish that I was good enough Then I'd know that I am not alone Death is policeman Death is the priest Death is the stereo Death is a T.V Death is the tarot Death is an angel Death is our God Killing us all She puts the seeds in me Plant this dying tree She's a burning string And I'm just the ashes She puts the seeds in me Plant this dying tree She's a burning string And I'm just the ashes She puts the seeds in me Plant this dying tree She's a burning string 08.

A Place In The Dirt
We are damned and we are dead
All God's children to be sent To a perfect place in the sun In the dirts There's a windshield in my hearts We are bugs so smeared and scarred And could you stop the meat from thinkin' before I swallow all of it Could you please? Put me in the motorcade Put me in the death parade Dress me up and take me Dress me up and make me Your dyin' God Angels with needles pokes through our eyes Let the ugly lights, what in We were no longer blind We were no longer blind Put me in the motorcade Put me in the death parade Dress me up and take me Dress me up and make me Your dyin' God Now we hold the ugly head The Mary Whore is at the bed They've cast a shadow of our perfect death In the sun and in the dirt 10.

Lamb Of God
There was Christ in the metal shell
There was blood on the pavement The camera will make you God That's how Jack became sainted If you die when there's no one watchin' And your ratings drop and you're forgotten If they kill you on their TV You're a martyr and a lamb of God Nothin's gonna change Nothin's gonna change the world There was Lennon and the happy gun There were words on the pavement We were lookin' for the lamb of God We were lookin' for Mark David If you die when there's no one watchin' And your ratings drop and you're forgotten If they kill you on their TV You're a martyr and the lamb of God Nothin's gonna change the world Nothin's gonna change Nothin's gonna change the world Nothin's gonna change the world Took three days for Him to die The born again to buy the serial rights Lamb of God have mercy on us Lamb of God won't you grant us Nothin's gonna change the world Nothin's gonna change Nothin's gonna change the world Nothin's gonna change Nothin's gonna change the world Nothin's gonna change Nothin's gonna change the world Nothin's gonna change the world If you die when there's no one watchin' And your ratings drop and you're forgotten If they kill you on their TV You're a martyr and a lamb of God Nothin's gonna change the world 13.

Burning Flag
They want to sell it out, but it up, dumb it down
A good God is hard to find I'll join the crowd that wants to see me dead Right now I feel I belong for the first time Multiply your death, divide by sex Add up the violence and what do you get? We are all just the stars and we're waiting We are all just the scarred and we're hating We are all just the stars on your burning flag You point your gun at me And hope it'll go away If God was alive He would hate you anyway My right wing is flappin' the left one is gray Let's hear it for the kids but nothin' they say They gy-rate and G-rate on Election Day They got a A B C and a F U C K, F U C K, F U C K Multiply your death, divide by sex Add up the violence and what do you get?

Coma Black
My mouth was a crib and it was growin' lies
I didn't know what love was on that day Heart's a tiny blood clot I picked at it It never heals, it never goes away I burned all the good things in the Eden eye We were too dumb to run too dead to die Burned all the good things in the Eden eye We were too dumb to run too dead to die This was never my world You took the angel away I killed myself to make everybody pay This was never my world You took the angel away I'd killed myself to make everybody pay I would have told her then She was the only thing That I could love in this dying world But the simple word love itself Already died and went away This was never my world You took the angel away I killed myself to make everybody pay This was never my world You took the angel away I killed myself to make everybody pay I burned all the good things in the Eden eye We were too dumb to run, too dead to die I burned all the good things in the Eden eye We were too dumb to run, too dead to die This was never my world You took the angel away I killed myself to make everybody pay This was never my world You took the angel away I killed myself to make everybody pay This was never my world You took the angel away I killed myself to make everybody pay This was never my world You took the angel away I killed myself to make everybody pay This was never my world You took the angel away I killed myself to make everybody pay This was never my world You took the angel away I killed myself to make everybody pay Her heart's blood stained egg We didn't handle with care It's broken and bleeding And we can never repair Her heart's blood stained egg We didn't handle with care It's broken and bleeding And we can never repair And we can never repair 16. Valentine's Day
She was the color of TV
Her mouth curled under like a metal snake Although Holy Wood was sad They'd remember this as Valentine's day Flies are waiting In the shadow of the Valley of Death In the shadow of the Valley of Death Slit our wrists and send us to Heaven The first flower after the flood I saw that pregnant girl today She didn't know that it was dead inside Even though it was alive Some of us are really born to die Flies are waiting In the shadow of the Valley of Death In the shadow of the Valley of Death Slit our wrists and send us to Heaven The first flower after the flood In the shadow of the Valley of Death In the shadow of the Valley of Death In the shadow of the Valley of Death In the shadow of the Valley of Death In the shadow of the Valley of Death In the shadow of the Valley of Death In the shadow of the Valley of Death In the shadow of the Valley of Death 17. The Fall Of Adam
The Abraham Lincoln town cars arrive
To dispose of our King and Queen They orchestrated dramatic new scenes For celebritarian needs When one world ends Something else begins But without a scream Just a whisper because we just Start it over again Do you love your guns? Your God and your government? Let me hear you Hey Do you love your guns? Do you love your God and your government? Let me hear you, Goddamn it Hey Do you love your guns? And your God and your government? Let me hear you Hey Your mother? And your father? And your baby? Goddamn it, let me hear you Hey Do you love your guns? I want your mothers and your fathers To hear you say it Hey I got you, every single one of you motherfuckers Let me hear it from you Hey Do you love your guns? And your God and your government? Hey I wanna hear it from every body I wanna hear you say you want a gun Let me hear it Hey 18. King Kill 33º
Is this what you wanted?
This is what you get. Turned all your lives into this shit. You never accepted or treated me fair blame me for what I believe and I wear. You fucked yourselves and you raised these sheep the blue and the withered seeds you will reap. You never gave me a chance to be me Or even a fucking chance just to be. But I have to show you that you played a role and I will destroy you with one simple hole. The world that hates me has taken its toll but now I have finally taken control. You wanted so bad to make me this thing and I want you now to just kill the king and I am not sorry, and I am not sorry this is what you deserve and I am not sorry, and I am not sorry this is what you deserve and I am not sorry, and I am not sorry this is what you deserve King Kill 33 King Kill 33 King Kill 33 King Kill 33 19. Count To Six And Die (The Vacuum Of Infinite Space Encompassing)
She's got her eyes open wide
she's got the dirt and spit of the world her mouth on the metal the lips of a scared little girl I've got an angel in the lobby he's waiting to put me in line I won't ask forgiveness my faith has gone dry She's got her Christian prescriptures and death has crawled in her ear like elevator music of songs that she shouldn't hear and it spins around 1...2...3 and we all lay down 4...5...6 some do it fast some do it better in smaller amounts and it spins around 1...2...3 and we all lay down 4...5...6 some do it fast some do it better in smaller amounts |
