FLOTSAM AND JETSAM LYRICS
"Swatting at Flies" (1992 Single)
1. Swatting At Flies
2. Date With Hate
1. Swatting At Flies
The only thing I ever made in my life was a fist
The only thing that ever proved that I exist
Broken glass looks best when the sun's goin down
Take it from me, I'm broken too
And there's lots of us around
Like swatting at flies till they cover the floor
Like pulling teeth, tie the string, and slam the door
Like the time I fell in love into someone else
Like the time I complained about the cards I've been dealt
Like they say when it rains you know it always pours
Like hearing no again and slamming of doors
I've been alone, I've been together, I'd been lost
Making my decisions, with the coins that I toss
The slower they walk, you know the harder it gets
Shoulda, woulda, coulda, sketches all our regrets
Like swatting at flies till they cover the floor
Like pulling teeth, tie the string, and slam the door
Like the time I fell in love into someone else
Like the time I complained about the cards I've been dealt
Like they say when it rains you know it always pours
Like hearing no again and slamming of doors
Enjoying myself has just been an afterthought
I never doubted the teachers, just the lessons they taught
If I couldn't fill my stomach, I'd fill my head
But I never could fill the word that I said
Like swatting at flies till they cover the floor
Like pulling teeth, tie the string, and slam the door
Like the time I fell in love into someone else
Like the time I complained about the cards I've been dealt
Like they say when it rains you know it always pours
Like hearing no again and slamming of doors
Slamming of doors doors doors
2. Date With Hate
Stepping out, louieville slugger
Gonna meet the local rape town mugger
Freedom keep my eye right on the prize
Hey mugger I'll hit between the eyes
Welcome home to the melting pot
No prejudice here , I don't care you'll get shot
Sleep with my back while I hide the truth
Remember love my neighbor, what's the matter with you
You've schemed - you've lied - you've hit - you've burned
With my bat swinging says you'll learn
Only need one thing
My date with hate
All locked up, but nothing's safe
Dating alone, our love in dictay(could be something else)
Under the streetlights, nazi mother
I'm waiting for her, you understand me brother
We swing hard but it ain't no goddamn dance
My knees braces, brains on my bat
Feel alive, having so much fun
A date with my back bed I'm utterly gone(could be something else)
You've schemed - you've lied - you've hit - you've burned
With my bat swinging says you'll learn
Only need one thing
My date with hate
We could cross burning bigotriate your fear (could be wrong)
They are the tools that won't steer me clear
In this rascist world, riots ?????(I have no idea what that is)
A date with her , our obligation
Stepping out, louieville slugger
Gonna meet the local rape town mugger
Freedom kept my eye right on the prize
Skin headed , I'll hit between the eyes
Welcome home to the melting pot
No prejudice here , I don't care you'll get shot
Sleep with the lies, while we hide the truth
Remember love my neighbor, what's the matter with you
You've schemed - you've lied - you've hit - you've burned
With my bat swinging says you'll learn
Only need one thing
My date with hate
You worm - you've lied - you've hit - you've burned
With my bat swinging says you'll learn
Only need one thing
My date with hate
My date with hate
Don't be late
