1. C.I.A.
When I was young I did what I could to survive
Living on hope a wonder I'm still alive
The older I get the more I live life my own way
Got an ace in the hole at the end of a nuclear day
C.I.A.
C.I.A.
Life got so boring got hitched in a place called belfast
It lasted two years, it's all over now so don't ask
Being single has its ups and its downs as they say
Got a queen in the hole at the end of my wedding day

The tat on my arm my caprcious ex-wife's name

2. Attitude
Spoiled child get your own way
Compulsive liar don't waste my time
Love yourself and no one else
What a way to go through life
Attitude night and day
Hurt those around you, push them away
Have all the answers but little facts
Chronic complainer ambition lacks
3. Time
Time flies get older every day
So lost can't find my way
Get on my knees to pray
No luck gonna self-destruct
Gonna lose control, gonna overload
Get high party day and night
No good but treats me right
Sun's up it's daylight
What fun have another drink
Head is in the sink
Gives me time to think
Arise head feels like a brick
Another ash to fuck
Going to be sick
Believe no one gives a damn
They don't understand
Boy inside the man
4. Hammer of the Gods
Tantalizing Jezebel
Iridescent so siren
Argus eyed and cynical
Narcissism too extreme
Disinterested mentality
Burden me your Sisyphus
Flare to anger easily
Carry sword of Damocles
Hammer of the Gods
Hammer of the Gods
Hammer of the Gods
Harpy not hymeneal
Selfish chimera
Mentor such an odyssey
Your promethean
Persuaded by Calliope
Treacherous infiltration
Pretend to be so jovial
A sop to cerberus
Hammer of the Gods
Hammer of the Gods
Hammer of the Gods
Hammer of the Gods
5. Insecurity
Measure everyone by impressions and beliefs
Refuse to believe what we do not understand
What's right or wrong, it's your decision
Don't expect me to lead you by my hand
Guilty of nothing more taking opportunity
Suspicion in the mind will your conscious give you peace
Finish what you start don't let it fall apart
In time you'll wake up to reality
I'm not gonna yield to your adolescent ways
Countless efforts spent on you as your life decays
Argonaut your nature is there something you have missed
Searching for a gold mine that never existed
6. Status Quo
Status Quo in direction
Upheavel dealt my way
Victim of exploitation
No remission castigate
Render anguish to the vixen
No remorse or repent
Abdication not my style
Rebound of animosity
7. Suicide
Heart atatck, auto wreck, falling from the sky
Take a drug, smoking crack, hang a noose -- suicide
Murder weapon in a zipper aids infection pull the trigger
Inflict the pain scatterbrain, light the fuse, take a life
Travel bags overload gypsy life on the road
Insecure inner light in the end big surprise
Great depression setting in living in a world within
Bigger problems can't descripe
Battle on
Lose the fight
8. Flattery
May not have my sanity
Don't mean I'm insane
Tend to use profanity
Throughout the day
Don't drive fancy sport cars
No need to impress
Don't go out to the nightclubs
or discotheques
May not do much talking
But I've got a lot to say
Don't need lots of friends
or flattery
May not have much money
But I still have my pride
I won't scrounge off other
Till the day I die
9. No Shame
And God created losers waste their precious lives
sit in front of televisions sitcoms day and night
What an education, channels one, two, and three
Directionless, No apathy, guided by BBC
Climbing your four walls departing in four days
Reject your way of living to me it's just a waste
New Year's resolution never to return
Land of gloom and doom
Selfish greed no shame
Using people your way
Selfish greed no shame
and at the end of the day
Tomorrow rain and windy to me the answer's clear
Predictable forecast easy to decipher
Commence packing my bags, Yearn for land of sunshine
Put this in the past and leave it far behind
Neglect responsibility obligations dear
Manipulating criticism, nothing left to fear
Achievements more than style unsupported non-sense
Land of gloom and doom
Selfish greed no shame
Using people your way
Selfish greed no shame
and at the end of the day
The price you pay
