Hazing for Success(pork rind confidential)

Good grooming requires

Time honored methods

Of ritual humiliation and torture

Wanna play with the big boys?

Ya gotta be mean

And bow to the Masonic fez

Secret society

By invitation only

Fraternal order

Of the skull and bones

Just like your Daddy

It's your turn, George

We think you might belong

in our animal house

You're picked for the skull and bones

C'mon down

And strip for the skull and bones

C'mon down

And show us what you're made of, George

C'mon down

Maybe you can be one of us

While our families make laws

On what not to do

We do it all

inside the lodge

Brick building with no windows

Where Jolly Rogers romp

In the heart of the campus

Of green green Yale

Inside we possess

Nazi memorabillia

And the stolen skull of Geronimo

Apaches tried

to get it back

We switched and gave them someone elses

Used cranium instead

Ha!

Pancho Villa's might be lying

Around here too

We brothers have no secrets

We lie to everyone else

So tell your sexual history

And what you'd do to which

Sorority girls

When we've all reached Washington

To plunder for the skull and bones

C'mon down

Mud wrestle with the skull and bones

C'mon down

Show us everything you're made of, George

Get down

Only then will you be one of us

The world is our casino

We inherit the broth

Not much left to conquer or crave

We don't already got

I snuck into the study

of the Dad I barely know

Watched IIsa,She-Wolf of the SS on his video

Knew then old boy networks of power

Was the life for me

Nothing we cause touches us

'Cept when we lose money

For kicks we kick around the globe

Start a war if we're going broke

Supply both sides, watch 'em choke

Blood of the WASP runs thick as oil

Yo ho ho ho, Yo ho ho ho

ho ho ho, ho ho ho

Shut up! Shut up!

I am not a wimp

I aint no wimp

Read my lips...

That's it, George

It's your turn, George

You know the rules

Down with your pants

Unzip your fly

Let's all have a look

at the old school tie

We'll circle jerk

Into a coffin

But you gotta go first, George

We want to watch

That's it, George

Harder, George

More, George

Pump, George

You're gonna cum, George

All over the third reich memorabillia

Squirt some icing

On Geronimo and Pancho over there

Yeah! George...ah...ah...ah...wheeeeee!!

That's it George

We knew you had it in you

Smile that sick smile again, George

We got you some pork rinds

Brocolli-flavored, your favorite

Sticky though it may be

No we know

You've got what it takes

To lead...

Human Cyst

Something's growing inside me

Burning deep under my skin

Swollen with nowhere to go

Infection must be drained

All I do is touch it

And sets off so much pain

Hold on

Puss where my warm blood should be

Gotta slice and squeeze it free

More I wait, worse it will be

I'm living with a human cyst

You move in

Say you love me

Let's make our dreams come true

Rent and phone bills piling up

But you cry when I ask you

Fancy job downtown-

Why is it you're always broke?

Hold on

Where my best friend used to be

One I love is using me

Fear going back to being lonely

But I'm living with a human cyst

Gotta cut out the cancer

But I fear the pain

When I lance the boil

The pain get's even worse

Oh, by the way

Your diary

Says a slick Ivy league penis

Has a key to this place:

"Yeah we fuck our brains out

When you're away

Shower together and he scrubs away

In all those places I told you

Touch only me

5 years apart

I think you're too old

When you see how much I stole

From you and our friends as well

Ha, Ha, Ha, I'm using you

I want palimony too!"

Greed

Disease

Actress

HUMAN CYST

The Man with the Corkscrew Eyes

The man with the corkscrew eyes

Sees through walls

Sees through lies

Always knows

Who's using who

Who not to trust

And what they'll do

He alone

Sees all

For what it's worth

And there lies the pain

The man with the corkscrew eyes

Sees through everyone

Stays on Guard

Never at home

Anywhere

Always wants

To be somewhere else

The real thing

Without the games

Does this exist

Or is that too much to ask?

So alone

Thinks for himself

The load is heavy

And there lies the pain

My brain radar's

Working all the time

Can't turn it off

It's always on

When I least expect it

A spark, a fire

I feel inspired

I feel inspired!!

These crazy ideas

Crawl in my mind

They light me up

I'm whole again

Keep me awake

Won't let me rest

Rather toss and turn

Than go through my life asleep

Free alone

Never bored

I am...Alive

Alive

Alive-O!

Fireball

Pinball in the pocket

Fate is not our own

Something has to switch the machine on

Drop a quarter in

You're popped up from below

Outside the glass

Spring's pulled back

Ready or not here you go

FIRE!

You're on the field

Bumper to bumper

Wall to wall

Lights go on

Bells go off

Flipped around

At the whim of unseen hands

Chorus:

Riding the fireball

How long will it last

Each force

Decides where the other goes

And they're all out of control

Some people know they've got it

Other people don't

Aint born with it

It takes both work and luck

Reach for strands of meaning

They all fly by so fast

Like picking branches from a train

It all slips through my hand

Chorus:

Riding a fireball

How long will it last

Trying to balance

On a floor always tilting down

Life roars by in such

A whirl of energy

Confidence, direction, speed

Knock down targets, rack up points

Try not to fall back down that hole

Time stops

Look around

Out there with you

Your more powerful twin

The one whom seems to be everything

You though you could never be

It's now or never

To knock 'em down

And sort of be free

You're on a roll now...GO!

Collide

Action, equal reaction

Surprise

Big obstacles aren't so much bigger after all

One chance

Leads to another and another

One shot

Moght aim you

Straight through the gates

To wake the Gods

Release Wotan

Odin too

Extra balls

Allies, chances

Then one by one they vanish

Circumstances

Every day

Rocket fuel

Or they get in the way

On your own

Trying not to fall

With no means of but you

Chorus:

Riding the fireball

Gotta make it last

Way beyond

What you thought your limits were

Can almost grab the reins and use

That energy

Thrust and thwack and ricochet

One wrong shot your, you're helplessly

Rolling back down towards that hole

Game over

Plopped in the dark

At least I have time

To sort through all these flashes in my mind

Swine Flu

You know what they say

" 'bout picking up a stray"

It could turn out to be swine flu

Dumped by the road

Why don't you take me home

And you have your very own swine flu

Swine Flu

Soon all the time

You hear a familiar noise

The piercing whining howl of swine flu

It never goes away

It bugs you every day

You never hear the end of swine flu

Give me food

Give me love

And when you do

I'll whine some more

Letme in, let me out

Only you'd keep me around

Plunk a dead rat on the floor

Aren't you proud of me? Can I lick you now?

Poison oak caked in my fur

For me to brush against your skin

Swine Flu

You all are insane

To shelter, feed and put up with me

My self-esteem's so bad

My grateful gift to you

Is yowl, yowl, yowl, yowl, yowl

yowl, yowl, yowl, yowl, yowl

'Til you're down to my level

Swine Flu

My childhood was bad

And this is my revenge

You'll never hear the end of swine flu

Swine Flu

Calcutta-A-Go-Go

Two skeletons embrace

Atop a human brain

Revolving sunset glare

Frosts the folds

They stretch across the wrinkles

Like a nude Marilyn Monroe

Clatter thier teeth

And take a bite of the soil

Rock back and forth

Screaming at the sky

Where is our God?

We wanna love you but why?

Slices of our mind

Point to different paths

Only one might grant a taste

Of eternal peace

Dip your toe in the ice

Scratch your head, find lice

Crawling out from your fingernail

Calcutta-A-Go-Go

Transfixed as the world turns

More and more like Calcutta

Trampling heat of life in a shrinking cage

More and more crowded into less

Writing drips from the walls

So thin they wilt

With the next monsoon

Who will survive?

The people or the snakes?

The sharks? The roaches?

Or the rats?

Who are we to tell ourselves

That the pinnacle

Of evolution

Is the human race

Trickling diwn through your gums

Nothing tastes quite right

I wave my antennae

Calcutta-A-Go-Go

Eye to eye

Kali Yuga

Feeding on a host who gave up to soon

Let's ride the falling stars

To the ruins of the old gold mine

Rub the rust and splinters into our wounds

Roll and grind on the old slag heap

At the edge of the shafts of darkness

That plunge so far below

Drop a rock down

There's no splash

Silence...

No dust, no clues, no ash

Echo back

Spellbound jaws 'neath the balcony

Possum tailed from the Lemming tree

Plug-in Evita waves

And flashes a peroxide smile-

Goodbye

Follow hope upstream

As we're swept downstream

Godot fell asleep at the wheel somewhere

Calcutta-A-Go-Go

Oh oh oh

Our heads are in the sand at high noon

Take me back or I'll drown our dog (Headlines)

"Take me back or I'll drown our dog."

Love those headlines

"CIA is breeding slaves"

Need those headlines

Crave those headlines

"Designer beef"

"Surfing for Christ"

"Horse molester must be stopped"

"Police kill man to stop suicide"

"City burns, Party goes on"

Headlines-I wanna hear some

Good News-Even if it's a lie

Scandal-For me to gaze on

Entertain me tonight

"Happy day ends in death"

Love those headlines

Need those headlines

"Pollution signals oppurtunity"

Need those headlines

Crave those headlines

"Viruses from AIDS lab sold"

"Easter Bunny arrest shocks children

at mall"

"April slated as Child Abuse Month"

"Donate blood and win prizes"

Hey! what's your favorite cartoon?

Mine's the Prime Time News

Nightline, Twin Peaks, or the Simpsons

Are all about as real as...

Headlines-We all believe

Good News-What we wanna believe

Why let- truth get in the way

of a good story

Spin Control

Stress Control

Image Doctors

Photo ops

So much goes in

And comes right back out

Of my mind

"Vegatarian terrorists"

"Autopsies of the rich and famous"

Reenact a crime

It's real enough for me...

"A hopping mad Madonna stormed out of a

Hollywood beauty parlor-after discovering

the staff was selling her toenail clippings"

"Used to be millions of mummies before the

Egyptian railroads bought them by the ton and

used them for locomotive fuel"

"Motorcycle courier John Orchard was fined

$400 after 50,000 hypodermic needles fell

from his cycle on a busy highway and punc-

tured the tires on 141 cars"

"two weeks later, While they were eating ham-

burgers at a drive-in, Jim-and I just love this

part-put an onion ring on Sandy's finger and

asked her to marry him"

Hey!

This is how life should be

So I'll pretend it is

Happy news

For Happy people

With Happy problems

Headlines-tell a person something

Good news-Long enough they'll believe

Anything-What they think is real

Instead of what they see

Meathook up my Rectum

The meathook of Randall Terry

Plowed up my rectum

Agh!

The snout of Jesse Helms

Fouling everything I read

Agh!

Gored by the PMRC

Parental advisory

Clean white songs for mommy

Or you're banned in the U.S.A.

Agh!

Such a pain in the ass

A big fist of cement

With Joe McCarthy's name attached

A lair of white bread worms

Gnaws my spine

Is that a cattle prod in your pocket

Or are you just glad to see me?

Agh!

Desires tied in knots of pain

Tighter, tighter, going insane

Agh!

Afraid to think

Afraid to screw

I hear batwings in our bedroom

Voila! There they are-

Bloodsuckers for decency

Vampires on the take

World's fattest rattlesnakes

Moving closer to the kill

Where have I seen those eyes?

I hate their God

And it hates me

A cop up in heaven

Raining Holy-Roller hell on earth

One by one fish hooks creep in

Five year mission to get under your skin

Wrap around your brain and stem

Pull your soul apart from within

Inside

They bite my mind

Bite my mind

Out of the closet

Into the fire

Zero tolerance for life

Will I ever feel free

To be free...?

Turn off the Respirator

Hear me now

Hear me plea

I've led a pretty good life

No time

To dwell

On why it's gotta end this way

My head throbs

My bowels burn

Bedsore sweat

I can't move

IV spikes

Plastic tubes

Cancer in the terminal ward

Kept alive

By sick machines

Doctors know

I aint got a chance

Wanna see our home

One last time

But, it's too late

And our savings are gone

I love you all

I'm so sorry

But someone's gotta pull the plug

Turn off the respirator

Turn it off. It's time to go

Turn off the respirator

Turn it off

And let me die in peace

I love you

I love each and every one of you

Goodbye my love

Don't forget I'll love you always

Help me

Lock the door

Make sure the doctor's away

Pull the plug

Pull it now

Pull the plug

And we all hold hands

I love you

We had a good life together

Pull the plug

Pull it fast

I can't take this pain anymore

Turn off the respirator

Turn it off

Let me die in peace

Turn off the respirator

If the nurse comes running

Barricade the door

Time to go

Time to die

One last kiss

And then goodbye

One last hug

Last embrace

Clasp our hands

For good times' sake

All the things we did together

All the ups and downs we had

Could be better

Could be worse

Now they're all snapshots

In my mind

I love you

Take care of yourself

Take care of the kids

Take care of the cats

And all those things

Have a good life

I wish I was there

It's important to me

You keep yourself well

Pull through

Go on

Pull through

Don't give up

Keep trying

Keep going

Take care

I'm counting on you

I love you

I love all of you

Please believe it

Don't ever forget it

I love you

Goodbye
