Dipshit 02:49
You've got a lot to say I've got a lot to do You say that I'm a fucking fool CHORUS: It doesn't matter much to me So take a good look in and see You're just a fucking dipshit man And if you try to get it right You fuck up everything in sight Cuz you're a fucking dipshit man I'll never feel the same You are a complete tool You say you ain't no fool CHORUS

Why's everybody talkin'bout saving lives? I just bought some knives Let's all die on drugs tonight I just bought some knives What's wrong with killing? Everything's gonna die What's wrong with dying? Universal genocide! I just bought some knives Maybe I'm not the loving type I just bought some knives Maybe I don't like the look in your eyes I just bought some knives What's wrong with killing? Everything's born to die What's wrong with dying? I just bought some knives Golden halos stacked like dinner plates Justice won't be kind When the salad days of Forked-tongue gluttony Wine and dine Golden halos stacked like dinner plates Justice won't be blind When the salad days of Forked-tongue gluttony Wine and dine And die! I can't wait for you to decide I just bought some knives I got this feeling tearing me up inside I just bought some knives What's wrong with killing? Everything wants to die What's wrong with dying? Universal genocide! I just bought some knives

Horseplay 01:46
Down on his luck like a broken trophy There's nothing left between his cock and brain Went to the Dr and he got something To help him cope with all this fucking pain You're shooting horse so do another round X2 Flat on her back so she can get some more All of her life has been a fucking bore But now she's older and the pills won't work She's gotta find another horse to jerk You're shooting horse so do another round X2 Now we don't see you anymore You're shooting horse so do another round X2 See you X4 End chorus

Coulda been hurt when the memory burst Back when we was was groovy Always asked me if what I said Was some quote from a movie How close did we get? Guess as close as we needed You can fake it 'til you break it It's in the past I guess we finally succeeded CHORUS: It's over now Ooh, did ya read it in a book? Sucking ice cream tits Through your boyfriend's old wool sweater Ooh, would ya take a second look? Cuz you gotta admit Could've ended it better I guess it's just what you'd expect Matter of fact you sell it What's the word? It's absurd Another wave goes through the herd You and I know they can't help it CHORUS

Drum Song 03:21

Top Down 02:40
Keep it coming We got nothing but time And you know baby I'm on top So far down can't see the End of the line well I can Tell you that It won't stop Keep on running And we're running in place There is no measure of What we need You repeat it All over again We can never get Away from greed CHORUS: I want you I want you down I want it all and I want now And I want it now Treading water will occupy Gotta stay busy in case they see All of the good happening Without their convenience fee Operations happening outside The watchful gaze up there In the end they will find out And take it without care CHORUS Can't you see From the bottom there's not top inside But was there ever anyway? On the carousel Nth ring off hell It will get to you It's gonna get to you Someday
8.
Mullet Cut 02:28
Gonna get my mullet cut What? Why? Driving in my mini-truck C'mon let's go You can just keep your mouth shut Hey that's not very nice Cuz I'm gonna get my mullet cut PRE-CHORUS: And I know where to go It's time to find We can't lose when we cruise Your enemy Down by the river make me shiver Cinderella slips a slipper It's time to find I got clippers we can use Your enemy Cuz I'm gonna get my mullet cut What? Why? Driving in my mini-truck C'mon let's go You can just shut the fuck up Hey fuck you Cuz I'm gonna get my mullet cut CHORUS: Goin business in the front Party in the back Business isn't good it seems Well in fact it's pretty bad Gonna get my mullet cut What? Why? Back of my neck is lookin too tough I said what why! Girl I need some trim can you hook a brother up What? Why? Cuz I'm gonna get my mullet cut I said what why! PRE-CHORUS CHORUS 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 CHORUS
