1. What About Us?
2. Stigmata
stronger than reason
stronger than lies
the only truth i know
is the look in your eyes
the look in your eyes
just like a car crash
just like a knife
my favourite weapon
is the look in your eyes
you've run out of lies
you've run out of lies
you've run out of lies
you've run out of lies
you've run out of lies
you've run out of lies
you've run out of lies
there's a ton locked in your empty eyes
get out of my life
i'm chewing on glass
and eating my fingers
i'm not the one
who's run out of lies
lies
you've run out of lies
you've run out of lies
you've run out of lies
you've run out of lies
you've run out of time
cutting my face
and walking on splinters
i lost my soul
to the look in your eyes
your eyes
you ran out of lies
you ran out of lies
you ran out of lies
you ran out of time
stigmata!
o, you have empty eyes
they tell me nothing, nothing but lies.
3. The Land of Rape and Honey
face to face
blood to blood
the mountain
you tumbled from
and in the land of rape and honey
you prey
step by step
you climb the mountain
you prey
fist to fist
eye to eye
the rulers of the wasteland
and in the land of rape and honey
you prey
step by step
you climb the mountain
you prey
head to head
chest to chest
which country is the very best?
and in the land of rape and honey
you prey
step by step
you climb the mountain
you prey.
4. Thieves
thieves, thieves and liars, murderers
hypocrites and bastards (in laughter)
hey thanks for nothing!
morals in the dust
two-faced bastards and syncophants
no trust
thieves! liar!
inside, outside, which side, you don't know
my side, your side, their side, we don't know
which side are they? which side are they?
which side of their mouth do you suppose that it came?
which side are they? which side are they?
which side of the grass is greener?
inside, outside, which side, you don't know
my side, your side, their side, we don't know
you're like a great big fucking gun,
just waiting to get squeezed!
breathe, forfeit erection!
toxical injection
geriatric fuck-fest
we still believe in lies
thieves! liar!
inside, outside, which side, you don't know
my side, your side, their side, we don't know
who started it? who started it?
which side are they? which side are they?
which side of their mouth do you suppose that it came?
which side are they? which side are they?
which side of the grass is greener?
inside, outside, which side, you don't know
my side, your side, their side, no one knows
you're like a great big hit of acid,
waiting to be taken!.
5. So What - (Live Version)
6. N.W.O.
all the locals hide their tears of regret
open fire cos i love you to death
sky high, with a heartache of stone
you'll never see me cos i'm always alone
how to love without a trace of dissent
i'll buy the torture cos you pay for the rent
tied high with a broken command
you're all alone to the promised land
i'm in love with this malicious intent
you've been taken but you don't know it yet
what you will know must never live to be found
cos it's the subject of the eyes of the drowned.
7. Just One Fix
blood keeps drinking away
certain of its destination
driving through new orleans at night
gotta find a destination
just one fix
life keeps slipping away
fighting in a war with damnation
poised, keep cutting away
i'm looking in through to salvation
just one fix
like if i boarded a train
trying to take in another station
join us and the choice will be made
unless we kill the lie as a nation
just one fix.
8. Jesus Built My Hotrod

9. Reload - (12" version)
10. Lay Lady Lay (Bob Dylan cover)
Lay lady lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Lay lady lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Stay lady stay
Stay while the night is still ahead
Stay lady stay
Heaven's ? fills our head
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I show them to you and you see them shine
Stay lady stay
Stay with your man a while
Till the break of day
Then you're gonna see him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing he's ever seen
Why wait any longer for the world to begin
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love
When he's standing over you
Lay lady lay
Lay across my big brass bed
Stay lady stay
We're gonna build the whole night ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you all night
Lay lady lay
11. Supermanic Soul
"Take this first song and uh, dance
I mean this, uh, first, let's start playing and dance"
Well I just shot a man to death
I've got a bullet out of my head
He fired back and I can't stop
A final shot and a final breath
Afraid to stop and afraid to check
The smell of fear and the color red
Had him with a 2 inch shell
Well it's a brutal smell of death
Saw my reflection in a spoon.
I had it with my not approved excuse
I've got a supermanic soul
I've pulled the trigger in the record room
I've put a stop to his loonytoons
I've put him down in the record room
These are for you
Dead - break this
These are for you
Dead - break this
Dead!
These are for you
Dead - break this
These are for you
Dead - break this
12. Bad Blood
Wild skies
Full moon and thoughts collide
We look for answers in those catatonic, bloodshot eyes
The eyes that vomit are the ones that are in love
Those aren't tears,
They're just bad bad blood
Just bad bad blood!
Wild lives
The big surprise.
We get our clues from what
The funhouse mirrors authorize
A ray of thought turns happy endings into mud
Where there's denial, there's bad blood
(wailing sample:
Do you remember the strain?
Do you remember the pain?
Do you remember the cause or the blame?)
Bad Blood!
(wailing sample:
Do you remember need?
Do you remember lust?
Do you surrender your greed or your trust? )
Bad Blood!
Wild eyes
He's finally come alive
How'd all things mediocre
Wind up all things all the time
A steady stream of madness
Rises to a flood
The clock is ticking for Bad Blood
13. Supernaut (Black Sabbath cover)
I want to reach out and touch the sky
I want to touch the sun
But I don't need to fly
I'm gonna climb up every mountain of the moon
Find the dish that ran away with the spoon
I've crossed the ocean, turned every bend
I found the crossing near a golden rainbow's end
I've been through magic and through life's reality
I've lived a thousand years and it never bothered me
Got no religion, don't need no friends
Got all I want and I don't need to pretend
Don't try to reach me, 'cause I'd tear up your mind
I've seen the future and I've left it behind
