Tracks



01. We're Not Bad For The Kids (We're Worse)

Screaming- out their bloody lungs
Riuning their beautiful young voices
Steaming hot- horny licking tongues
Making all those terribly wrong choices

All you little children have gone out of your minds
Don't wanna read no history- let's practise some biology

Make you mommy cry- Daddy blows his mind
Listen up and learn- We're not bad for the kids, we're worse
Make 'em take offense- Taint your innocence
The first time always hurts- We're not bad for the kids, we're worse

Wasted- fried their little brains
Staying out too late and getting crazy
Waintin'- 'til it's far too late
Corrupted to the core and not worth saving

Hey kids, you know that your parent are right
You should not ne nasty, no picking a fight
Don't dress up like that, yeah, you dad he knows better
As if he never wanted to see your mom in tight leather

02. I Luv Ugly

Those little furry things
With cute little tails
That little girls love to pet
They are the food for things
All covered in scales
I'll take all I can get

Now listen kiddies
I salute the freaks
It's only pretty
when it's nasty

I luv ugly
No such thing
As too extreme
I luv ugly
No over the top
All hail the freaks
I luv ugly
I luv ugly!

Hell yeah you know this face
You've seen me before
But you don't know who I am
I've never heard of you
But you want war
You'll get my ten pound boot
Up your ass

All hail the Freaks!

Ugly I luv ugly
Luv ugly I luv

03. The Riff

I met Mr. Death this morning
He offered me a ride.
I said I think I'm not quite ready yet
To travel by your side.

"Practice what you preach"
Then said the count of shadowlands
"It doesn't hurt to take a peek"
He grinned and grabbed my hand.

I sat in the leather seat
Of his Chevy van
The motor screamed like a pack of rats
In a frying pan.

The headlights were shooting sparks
And the tyres spinning flames
"Well alrighty then"
He said and opened up his case

The grim reaper played guitar
His bony fingers cold and stiff
The sonic thunder froze my heart
As he cranked out the Riff.

Oh, yeah, the Riff!

Then his song was over
And he asked me not to lie
I felt a bit uneasy
But I dared to criticize

I told him, "Man, the riff is a killer
But the rest is a throw-away"
His face looked disappointed
But he said, "Ah, it's ok"

I asked him, has he shown
The devil what he's got
"He's written hits
But lately he has not"

So the devil's out of touch
And he cannot smell a hit
"Cuz he has lost his mind
With all that hip-hop shit"

The grim reaper played guitar
His bony fingers cold and stiff
The sonic thunder froze my heart
As he cranked out the Riff.

Oh, yeah, the Riff!

I woke up and the van was upside down
My body bleeds
We must have crashed right off the road
And Death could barely speak.

He said, "Listen you gotta take my place
I'm leaving office soon"
I said, "I'm sorry dude, I'm kinda busy
But tell you what: I'll take the tune"

And it goes like this...

The grim reaper played guitar
His bony fingers cold and stiff
The sonic thunder froze my heart
As he cranked out the Riff.

The grim reaper played guitar
His bony fingers cold and stiff
The sonic thunder froze my heart
As he cranked out the Riff.

He cranked out the Riff.
He cranked out the Riff.
He cranked out the Riff.
He cranked out the...

04. Something Wicked This Way Comes

I sense it- I feel it- It's aching in my bones
I taste it- in the air, hear it in the undertones

The birds left- no crickets
The silence sings of death
The river set on pause
The storm holding it's breath

Something wicked this way comes
Something wicked this way comes
No fights now, it's a terrorize response
Something wicked this way comes

The windows all boarded
The deadbolts are all shot
You know you're pathetic
'Cause this thing can't be stopped

While outside the sun shines
Your something's in your head
You're waiting, and waiting
Until you starve to death

05. I'm The Best

Don't tell me how to live- Yeah!
I know how I should be- Yeah!
Oh Yeah- Patronizing the man- Yeah!
I know who and what I am

I'm the best- I'm the best- I'm the best
The best at what I do
I'm the best- I'm the best- I'm the best

I'm the best- I'm the best- I'm the best
A million times better than you
I'm the best- I'm the best- I'm the best

Who do you think you are- Yeah!
You're still here but I've gone far- Yeah!
Oh Yeah!- could it be that you see- Yeah!
that you're so goddamn envious of me

I'm the best- I'm the best- I'm the best
The best at beeing me
I'm the best- I'm the best- I'm the best

I'm the best- I'm the best- I'm the best
More than you could ever be
I'm the best- I'm the best- I'm the best

Why keep fighting the stone cold facts and still deny?
Sfight for what they're told to,
Some fight to get wings that make 'em fly

06. Horrifiction

You love that man, with his fingers of knives
The red and green sweater is framed
You bought a chainsaw and you carved it up right
"The saw is the family" it says on the blade

Vulture's making circles in the air
Forensics collect evidence with lots of care
The bodies in the woods by Crystal Lake
Just like in the movies they say

It's all horrifiction
Silver screen addiction
Cinematic gore and murder
It's horrifiction
Not a fact prediction
Movies cannot make you a killer
It's horrifiction

You got the puzzle box and book of the dead
The hockey mask tattooed on your chest
Your friends are worried you've gone sick in the head
Those movie monsters are all you have left

In the court room you're confused
It was the monsters, it wasn't you
But all the evidence puts you there
And the judge says you'll get the chair

07. Happy New Fear

As a kid in kindergarten they made you cry
Told you mommy won't come back and you believed the lie
Classmates in second grade all abandoned you
They laughed as you got your ass kicked right after school

Of all the loser freaks
You were the most undatable
The grades you got in school
Were laughable
You're afraid of getting clawed
When you pet your cat
Your dog wants a treat
You think it wants to attack

Another year has gone and everything's worse no
The way your fears come true is like a smackdown
And we got more where that come from

(Now have a / Wishing)
Happy happy new fear
Happy new fear
And the more it consumes
Happy happy new fear
And the fear is killing you

You tell yourself that
Everything's gonna be all right
We'll take it up a notch and
Boom!- you family dies
And when you see my face
You believe in the supernatural
You'll learn that demons
Are not fairytales, they're factual

08. Schizo Doll

I am just a little doll- I live here in your yard
You daughter used to play with me- now your dogs chew up my arms
Sometimes I feel fucked up in the head
That´s when I want to see all children dead

There was a day that had a silver lining- I remember the light that I saw
They took me off the conveyer belt- and put me in a box on a shelf

Then came the day my little cardboard home and I
Were on you way in your car
Your daughther didn´t know how to pretend
And forever we were gonna be friends

For years I was the one to hold- to love and care for
Then I was left out in the cold
Forgotten to become the rotten

Shizo doll- I can't ever die
Shizo doll- 'cause I was never alive
Shizo doll- got no flesh, got no bones
Shizo doll- I have a mind of my own
Shizo doll, Shizo doll- left all alone

Now comes a day that has a cool black lining
80 years gone by, the daughters gone grey
But she found me, took me in from the rain
She was hugging me as she slepped away

"Ashes to ashes"- the preacher prays
I'm wrapped in her arms now
Forever friends here in her grave
forgotten to become the rotten

I am just a little doll- my best friend is a corpse
The worms are eating up her face
Our casket home walls warp
That bitch left me to rot alone again

09. Candy For The Cannibal

The town went silent as I walked out today
My family didn't have a thing to say
I see the neighbors are avoiding my looks
they know my story as it's all in the books, yeah

But I am happier then ever before
Cause I'm grown man candy story
I know this feeling might not last for long
I know my urge and it's way too strong

I know I should not do my thing, no, no
But you look so damn mouth watering

You're the ca-ca-candy for the ca-cannibal
Won't you co-co-come on trust the a-animal
You're my t-t-tasty little t-t-t-treat
Sweetie candy
You're the ca-ca-candy for the ca-cannibal
You'll go d-d-down cause you're so e-edible
I'll be t-t-tenderizing you m-m-meat
Meaty candy to me

(I just love that meaty candy)

I keep my distance when observing the girls
They make me feel like I'm alone in this world
Some call it stalking I say shopping's the word
And when I'm shopping girls are bound to get hurt

I am simply a man but they call me the Beast
Oh why can't they understand a man's just gotta eat

Death row went silent as I walked in today
The warden did not have a thing to say
I watch the prisoners avoiding my looks
I'm going shopping for the last meal I cook

10. Sincerely With Love

You don't know a thing
You don't have a clue
Your bell never rings
And still you're being you

No-one ever asked
Yet you always tell
Your opinion´s noted
And now you can go to hell

You think you know everyone
Better than themselves
Truly you're the number one
Appreciating what we've heard
We wanna thank you with these words

(So) fuck you asshole
Fuck you asshole
Greetings from the heart
Fuck you asshole
Fuck you asshole
Sincerely with love

Thank you for your thoughts
Thanks for your ideas
You claim it´s all in love
But it has more to do with fears

We should all obey
Your rules and moral codes
But it´s you who's on the way
To the place without hope

The smell of sulfur
And now you wonder
"How did I get here?"
The new Monsters gather
