1. Kama /instrumental/
You ain’t the stuff you buy
You ain’t the car you drive
And when you look beneath
The flaking snake skin…
You don’t believe me
But you still see me
Only human
Look at yourself this way:
Shed off the skin
Look what’s within
Deeper than sin and soul and virtue
Shed off the skin
Look what’s within
Shed off the skin
Be like a newborn
You think you’ve got great taste
The whole thing’s just a race
You’re spending like you’re scared
Of running out of face
Waste money you don’t have
And grasp and strive and grab
You want what you can’t get
And no one can give you
Empty inside
Things have their price
Empty inside
And forms are formless
Empty inside
Things have their price
Empty inside
And formless forms fill
You’re not what you have!
You’re not what you lack!
You think that what you ain’t got matters
You don’t know emptiness is strength
Mistakes and ignorance will kill it-
The life inside
Empty inside
Things have their price
Empty inside
Only half living
Empty inside
Things have their price
Empty inside
No peace and quiet
You’re not what you have!
You’re not what you lack!
You try to buy the girls you talk to
You try to pay your so-called friends
You try to look the part of hard man
You’re riding on your credit cards
You’re living life on borrowed time
You don’t know what you really got
You can’t take any stuff when you kick it-
This fake cheap life
2. Sutra
3. No Redemption
What you see is unredeemed
There are things you’d better leave alone
What’s got in me is blood lust
What’s got in me is sin
I didn’t know then
What I had done
I made a raw deal– damned!
What’s got inside has got control now
I have feed it just to stay alive
Feeding off of others
Forfeit my own soul
You’re better off dead
Than live like this
Wild hordes inside you
Salvation pissed away, with blood I pay
Debts to eternity
A monster has become of me
They say - Bow down!
They say - Bow down!
What you see is unredeemed
There are things you’d better leave alone
What’s got in me is blood lust
What’s got in me is sin
I didn’t know then
What I had done
I made a raw deal
Salvation pissed away, with blood I pay
Debts to eternity
A monster has become of me
They say - Bow down!
They say - Bow down!
Sir!
You’re better off dead
Than live like this
Wild hordes inside me
Salvation pissed away, with blood I pay
Debts to eternity
A monster has become of me
They say - Bow down!
They say - Bow down!
Sir!
They’ll come for you next
They’ll come for you next
4. Flight
Went down the road one night
With my brother and his girl
Headed for the parts she knew
On the roughest side of town
Suzanne sat down, then lay by a fence
The girl can’t stand now, looks like she won’t again
Started off that pitch-dark road
To get some kind of help
The girl’s overdone it now
Knew she’d soon be fading out
Came a man I’d never seen
Who went right over to her side
She seemed somehow to know this man
And this is what she cried
Give me one more
Please have mercy
Just one more dose (just one more!)
And I can fly away (please, just give one more)
I’m getting close (I need it!)
Just let me go!
My brother could not compete
Against the drugs and her sharp need
She don’t want to stay with us
She’s reaching for the coming rush
Midnight, light rain
Fell on her pale face
The windows in her eyes
Started closing with her cries
Give me one more
Please have mercy
Just one more dose (just one more!)
And I can fly away (please, just one more!)
I’m getting close (just one more!)
And then I’ll fly
Just one more dose (just one more!)
And I can fly away (please, just one more!)
I’m getting close (just one more!)
And then I’ll fly away (forever)
Just one more dose (just one more)
I’m so damn close!
Give me one more
Please have mercy
Give me one more
Please have mercy
No more aggravation
No more daily grind
No more hustling round
To keep up her supply
No more irritation
No slow suicide
No more shit in plastic bags
Now it is time to fly
Give me one more
Please have mercy
I’ll fly!
5. Waiting
My truck stopped along a back road
On the way away
Climbing up a steep grade heaving to the side
To the side
Engine overheating so I pulled off
To the side
Ain’t no shop around for miles
So I’m stuck out here alone
Just the buzzards here for company
While I die
It’s a crap machine I got when my old man died
Too many miles
He put on this thing And on himself
Now walks free of it!
Too many miles
On this crap machine he left me
Too many miles
Now I gotta sit and think, take a drink
I toast the vultures
Too many miles
It’s way too far too far for me to walk
I believe that there’s a time for each to die
That’s all right!
No one hardly ever comes out this far
I may last in this desert a few days
Here it’s quit – I can hear my thoughts walk
Sit and think, take a drink
I go back to times of nothing breaking down
Follow my thoughts walking, back to
Back to easy days
Times I almost had forgotten
Times we were alive
If someone comes this way I will thank him for my life
Too many miles
It’s a crap machine I got when my
old man died
Too many miles
He put on this thing, then died
Too many miles
Put on this crap machine he left for me
Now look at it
Too many miles
Now I gotta sit, think and take a long drink
I believe that there’s a time for each to die
Yeah,that’s all right!..........
I raise a toast now to the vultures
Wait forever
I gotta wait until I die
I gotta wait until my time comes
Wait forever
I gotta wait until I die
I gotta wait until my time comes
Wait forever
I gotta wait until I die
I gotta wait until my time comes
Wait forever
I gotta wait until I die…………….
6. Flood
Down it poured on us from black clouds
Whipped by the cold wind
Washed off the sides of mountains
Into the valleys
Elemental
Power of water
Breaks down the strongest
Of man’s constructions
If there is a God
He is using us to play
He took our homes away
And nobody can say
What we could do to deserve this
Run!
The dam can’t hold it -
Flash floods are coming down
To smash the town
Evacuate now
While you still can
All across the country
Chaos erupting
We can hear the roaring
Of death’s own waters
Elemental
Power of water
Breaks down the strongest
Of man’s constructions
Here it’s all inverted
People in mud seas
The fish hang on the trees
Your luck has not run out
If you are still alive
Run!
The dam can’t hold it -
Flash floods are coming down
To smash the town
Evacuate now
While you still can
We’re going to leave now
We’re going to leave
Get out while we can
Take what we need
Take what we need
To leave forever…
Flee from the ruined landscape
The rolling mudbath
Start a new life somewhere
Way high up in the hills
Above the deadly spills
Closer to the one
Who sends all destruction downhill
Run!
The dam can’t hold it -
Flash floods are coming down
To smash the town
Evacuate now
While you still can, my Friend
Run!
The dam can’t hold it -
Flash floods are coming down
To smash the town
Evacuate now
While you still can
We’re going to leave now
We’re going to leave
Get out while we can
Take what we need
Take what we need
To leave forever
We’re going to leave now
7. King
You little bastard, wait you’ll get it
You’re hiding under your bed - Not for long
You ain’t got any way to Stop me
Your brother’ll find and kick your scrawny ass
Here in my room (I am king over my brothers)
You can’t run away (My word’s law and you obey)
You’re gonna get a righteous swirley
If you tell dad, you’re dead meat, little boy So better not!
And when you’re looking at me You cry
Realizing my power over you
Cry all morning (I am king over my brothers)
Whine all evening (My word’s law and you obey)
It won’t help you (I am king over my brothers)
We will play my way (My word’s law and you obey)
I’m gonna clean your clock
I’m gonna clean your clock
I’m gonna clean your clock
I’m gonna clean your clock
Make you my slave Dig your grave
You must behave The way I tell you
Make you my slave Don’t you dare say -
Make you my slave You’re so pathetic
I’m gonna clean your clock
I’m gonna clean your clock
I’m gonna clean your clock
I’m gonna clean your clock
I’m gonna clean your clock
I’m gonna clean your
I’m gonna clean your clock
I’m gonna clean your
I’m gonna clean your clock
I’m gonna clean your
I’m gonna clean your clock
I’m gonna clean your...
8. Bitter Life /instrumental/
9. Better Life
On TV they’re showing a better life
The airwaves are flowing this-a-way
Catch my antenna spark up the screen
Showing me beauty – a better place to be
No one’s getting old
Life only gets better
Everyone is blessed
No one has to stay
With only one partner
Everyone is rich!
Commercials are selling just what I need
They show me what to buy to be like them
Don’t try to tell me it isn’t so
Don’t try to say that it is just a show
No one’s getting old
Life only gets better
Everyone is blessed
No one has to stay
With the same old partner
Everyone is rich!
Turn it on! The game shows and sitcoms
I wish I had their teeth
Turn it on! Adventure and danger
No hairs out of place
Scars on the face
It tells me, tells me tells me tells me
Buy more buy more buy more
Turn it on! The game shows and sitcoms
I wish I had their teeth
Turn it on! Adventure and danger
No hairs out of their place
Turn it on! The game shows and sitcoms
Such very pretty teeth –
Turn it on and show me the good life
It is not like mine
Not like mine
10. Give Me Meat
Something belongs with my potatoes
It’s not only gravy
Vegetarians - hey fuck you!
I want some meat on my plate
Right this way!
I want some bloody roast
And then I’ll raise my toast
To the kill
Don’t bring me any rabbit food
I ‘ll throw it right back at you
So let’s have pork and then chicken
A little fish and then more beef
Bring me meat!
It’s better if you kill
Than let yourself be killed
I need flesh
We want to eat our animal brothers
We’ll wash them down with plenty of beer
We’re not afraid of mad cow disease
We¨re gonna eat and drink what we want!
Waiter! Waiter! My plate is empty
Waiter! Waiter! Bring more
Give me meat - a double order
Give me meat – oh, I can pay!
Give me meat – a double order
Give me meat – now!
We want to eat our animal brothers
We’ll wash them down with plenty of beer
We’re not afraid of mad cow disease
We¨re gonna eat and drink what we want!
We want to eat our animal brothers
We’ll wash them down with plenty of beer
We’re not afraid of mad cow disease
We¨re gonna eat and drink what we want!
Give me meat – a double order
Give me meat – I’ve got the money
Give me meat – a double order
Give me meat!
11. Turn To The Shadows
It’s with me every day
A kind of sinking feeling
Pulling me down into
Shadows within my soul
Children cry out at night
Wanting their mother’s comfort
Everyone knows they’re mortal
When they’re alone
Gnawing their bones
Suck the marrow dry
Dry as dust
Stand if you can – Carpe diem
Turn to the shadows face your dark side tonight
Burn as you’re seeking like a moth by the light
You cannot sink forever
There is no hell down there
You cannot sink forever
Sooner or later, you will see -
Nothing you fear is real
When you get to the bottom
You are just part of nature
Part of the way things grow and die
Fight it if you like – you’ll never win
Nothing to hit - nothing can hit back
Turn to the shadows face your dark side tonight
Burn as you’re seeking like a moth by the light
Fight it if you like – you’ll never win
What walks through your head
Shows you’re not dead
But you will never, you will never win
Turn to the shadows face your dark side tonight
Burn as you’re seeking like a moth by the light
Turn to the shadows face your dark side tonight
Burn out the darkness like a moth on the light
The light! Burns what circles in flight -
Turn to the shadows face your dark side tonight
Burn as you’re seeking like a moth by the light
Turn to the shadows face your dark side tonight
Burn as you’re seeking like a moth by the light
Turn to the shadows face your dark side tonight
Burn as you’re seeking like a moth by the light
Turn to the shadows.....
