lyrics:
1) Fuck your life

You get into bed with your friends
Then you’re shocked by how it ends

Don’t cheat, don’t lie
And if you do we’ll act surprised

I don’t care who's fucking who
Its not my business, I don’t want to know

Don’t cheat, don’t lie
And if you do we’ll act surprised

You find it so hard to commit
And by the time you’re convinced
You’re sick of it.

You know he always drinks regular
A swell guy, got his shit together

Don’t cheat, don’t lie
And if you do we’ll act surprised

Go ahead put on your show
Listen to the rooster crow

Don’t cheat, don’t lie
And if you do we’ll act surprised

Only take one course of action
Careful not to show conviction
No hope for resuscitation
You’re a walking infestation
What the hell are you?

2) Burdened

I can’t take it
Burdened by faults
Taken a lifetime to acquire
Impatience anger mood swings
Cynicism hatred suspicion

All piled up
All backed up
All tacked on
I’ll cut you loose

Every friend an enemy
Every kind act just wool
Wrapped around fangs
And tearing at my neck

All piled up
All backed up
All tacked on
I’ll cut you loose

Ready to pull the trigger
Ready to unwind
And watch you fade away

3) Bitter Taste

Stop wasting my time
Predictably grim, dull and void
A boring story, a standard line

Tell me again please straighten me out

A bitter taste
The same events unfold on screen
Same lame arguments, curdled cream

Tell me again please straighten me out

Another book you’ve read
Another movie you’ve seen
Another record on your shelf
Another town you’ve been

Tell me again please straighten me out

What a waste of life
Useless and dim
Useless and dim
Useless and dim

You’re useless and dim, piss off

4) Words are Loud

The flags that you hang
The flags that you wave
Flags that you raise
The words that you say

It’s a waste
A fucking waste

The flags that you hang
The flags that you wave
Flags that you raise
The words that you say

It’s a trap
And I do my best
To turn my back

It’s a trap
And I do my best
To turn my back

Your social scene is not my quest
Your social scene is not my quest

The ideas are quiet but the words are loud
Who fucking cares?
We’ll just follow the crowd

The ideas are quiet but the words are loud
The ideas are quiet but the words are loud
The ideas are quiet but the words are loud
The words are loud

5) Another Blessing

Another blessing
Becomes another curse
My friends’ problems
just get worse

What made them quit the drugs
What made them quit the smoke
Makes them light a match
Pop a can, eat to choke

No new feelings
No new thoughts
People like flies
They just give up and drop

Drop their morals
Cash in consciousness
Searching for rebellion
All they’ve got is this

You say you’ll lose.I know you cannot win
Go ahead and sleep around
I won’t feel let down
I’m trying to be blatant
You’re talking in codes
You say its all my fault
How could I have known?

What’s the difference?
Between quitting and starting
You do or you don’t
You will or you won’t

6) Better Odds

Try to justify
Your intentions
All I see
just wasted breath

Push back
Kick back
Fight back
Noose necked

Push back
Kick back
Fight back
Cut down

World against me
World against you
Do you have a choice
What are you gonna do?

Push back
Kick back
Fight back
Beat back

World against me
World against you
Is there really a choice?
Who’s got the better odds?

7) Long Wait

Wake up, eyes wide
Grey light through the windows
The heavy choke of oxygen
Fills lungs that don’t want to breath

It’s a long long wait
For a justice that never comes
It doesn’t come for some of us
It never comes for anyone

Stark environment, bleak existence
Live off quiet violence
Once the sun sets, once it sinks in
It’ll never come up again

It’s a long long wait
For a justice that never comes
It doesn’t come for some of us
It never comes for anyone

Another 24 hour slow crawl to death begins

8) Conversation Useless

It’s a useless conversation, had everyday
Conversation useless
I don’t care what you say

Slack jawed
No thought
Fake insight
Mouth a toilet

Your half-assed thoughts, your bold remarks
The tailgate philosophy
That you learned in bars

You can drag it bring it to the streets
For all I care
Just keep your babble out of my ears

Apefaced
Shitbreathed
Mealy maggot
Get fucked

Your fucking banter, it drives me insane
You caw and you talk
How can you believe what you say

9) Charmed Life

Slick tires and a brand new suit
Cash to flash, inspired pursuits
Killer drive, walking tall, hardly alive

The life, the life, you’ve got the charmed life
The price was right
Cock the hammer say goodnight

No worries no cares
A pretty face and a lot of hair
Its all I can do to not point and stare

The life, the life, you’ve got the charmed life
The price was right
Kick the chair say goodnight

10) Chunks
