1. Halo of Flies (Alice Cooper cover)
I've got the answers
To all of your questions
If you've got the money
To pay me in gold
I will be living
In old Monte Carlo
And you will be reading
The secrets of soul
Daggers and contacts
And bright shiny limos
I've got a watch
That turns into a lifeboat
Glimmering nightgowns
And poisonous cobras
Silencer under the heel of my shoe
The elegance of China
They sent her to lie here on her back
But as she deeply moves me
She'd rather shoot me in my tracks
And while a Middle Asian lady
She really came as no surprise
But I still did destroy her
And I will smash
Halo of flies
I crossed the ocean
Where no one could see
And I put a time-bomb
In your submarine
Goodbye to old friends
The secret's in hand
With full ream of papers
And fantastic plans
You never will understand
2. The Lighter Side of Global Terrorism
Can I touch you here? May I search your bags?
You have been randomly selected
Got a funny name
And you look the part
Plus, I like the way
You bulge in your clothes
Yehhhh
I love my job
Rock bottom pay never felt so hot
Big man, uniform and badge
Pedophile Santas ain't got nothin' on me
I love to feel sexy things
Other people's sexy things
I love to peek at people's things
Other people's private things
When I was small and someone's guest
I'd find a way to sneak upstairs
Peek in the closet, paw through the drawers
And feel a funny tingle up from below
Oh, how I love to find
New playthings for my mind
I file these thoughts away
Until I go on break
When I can finally touch myself
See your shiny jewels
On your neck and wrists
They could be weapons
We must play safe
So fork 'em over
Or you're under arrest
Maybe you should have checked them in your suitcase
Meanwhile, down below
What have we here? Let's open this one up
Pills! Cash! Electronics to fence
Let's see you prove they were there in the first place
Who is that behind the one way mirror blind
Just little ol' me
And my non-dairy cream
Gotta wipe it up and select someone new
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo
3. Lessons in What Not to Become
When I was a kid my daddy got mad
And slammed me against the wall
Sometimes I got shook
Sometimes I got hit
For losin' my temper at all
Didn't dare say, Look at you, man
Blowin' your stack like that
I hadn't been taught the word hypocrite yet
But I already knew what it meant
This is a lesson in what not to become
Lessons in what not to become
Sometimes that means me
Can't please everyone
Tryin' to live by a code I can stick to
I'm a fuck up just like you
But it's better than not trying at all
Early on I knew
To learn from the mistakes
Of people I most admire
Crazy-ass times
Wish I was that wild
But the drugs snuffed out the fire
All that talent fried and blackened
Senile at 25
I'll never be as dope as you
But at least I'm still alive
Another lesson in what not to become
Lessons in what not to become
For some mouths that's me
Can't please everyone
Tryin' to live by a code I can stick to
Sometimes it's as easy as
Not lettin' this happen to you
Yeh, your mom and I
Had such a great time when we were your age
Makin' love, gettin' high
Wild in the streets almost every day
But now that you're that age
Just Say No®
But take your Ritalin
If you still turn out wrong
It's all your music's fault
Breaks my heart to see
When someone born to lead
Gets so paranoid they're crazy
Agree with all I say
Or you're the enemy & there ain't no in between
Drown like Captain Ahab
Trying to slay that Great White Whale
So tied up in their own rules
People jump ship and they fail
This is a lesson in what not to become
Another lesson in what not to become
Another lesson
Lessons in what not to become
For some mouths that's me
Can't please everyone
Tryin' to live
By a code I can stick to
I ain't 100% pure
To the point of being miserable
4. Those Dumb Punk Kids (Will Buy Anything)
Punk's been dumbed down
To just another form of TV
Marketed to shoppers
Spoonfed cartoon rebellion like sheep
Flock to worship any old school band
Who cares if they still care or if they're bad?
Something new in town
Who wants to know?
And look at all the whores
Reunions for the wrong reasons
Playing only songs from the goold old days
About how bad the good old days were
So why not us? We don't even like this stuff no more
But look at all that retro-racket cash
Those dumb punk kids will buy anything
We'll sue the guy who wrote the songs
So we can sell them into commercials
Steal the name and hit the road
Trashing all our band stood for
We won't rehearse, sound worse
Dig up some old child star
Who never learns the words
Hey, we're back!
Show us how much you care
The merch booth's right over there
Buy! BUY!!!
And if our scam works
What a bandwagon it will be
Malcolm in the Middle in the Misfits
or Mary Kate and Ashley
Gary Coleman in Black Flag
Courtney in Nirvana at last
And Emmanuel Lewis
Back in action singing for the Germs
When will it end?
When people see this for what it is
Rock and Roll Swindle Pistols backed a thief
So how about Martha Stewart
In Dead Kennedys
Kuz those dumb punk kids
Will buy anything
5. Kali-Fornia Uber Alles 21st Century (live)
I am Governor Schwarzenegger
Pretty soon I'll be dictator
When they make me President
Democracy is going away
Hasta la vista, baby
I vill command all of you
Kindergarten Cop in every school
Or I vill terminate you
Kali-fornia über alles
Über alles Kali-fornia
Enron will control you
Like they staged the recall coup
Steroids for der master race
So you all can have my face
Close your eyes, can't happen here
Bush & Cheney are already here
Third Reich won't come back, you say?
Not if Fox News has their way
Can I grope your titties today?
Kali-fornia über alles
Über alles Kali-fornia
Mandate of Two-Tousand und Four
Knock knock on your bedroom door
It's the Homeland Security Police
You're a terrorist, and so is your niece
Drag you secretly to a camp
Where we put all da Girlie Men
Don't you worry, it's for a cause
Feeding Halliburton's claws
Die on depleted uranium gas
North Korea or Iran
Run you down mit my Hummer, baby
If you mess with Schwarzenegger
And all the money that's making him bigger
Kali-fornia über alles
Über alles Kali-fornia
I'll be back!
6. Wholly Buy Bull
I saw it in Newsweek
Therefor it must be real
Reagan and Khaddafi chatting like they're old friends
Look how the sgadows don't match
Or shots of demonstrations
The signs are in English
Even in countries that don't use our alphabet at all
Philly 2000 Republican Convention i saw a booth where you could get your picture taken
Arm in arm with George Dubya Bush
And it looked totally real
Know how that makes me feel?!?!
Aggghh!
Take any image of anything in photoshop nothing is real
Nothing is fake
So i ask you
How many images and photos we believe are real
Aren't cars in the ads now fly
And part the seas and swim
Two minutes of your mouth on tape
Is all it takes
To show you saying things you never said
In the headlines, in bed
With someone you have never met
12XU? Easy!
