Kill The Poor
Efficiency and progress is ours once more. Now that we have the Nuetron bomb. It's nice and quick and clean and gets things done. Away with excess enemy, with no less value to property. No sense in war, but perfect sense at home... The sun beams down on a bran new day. No more welfare or tax to pay. Unsightly slums gone up in a flashing flame. Jobless million whisked away. At last we have more room to play. All systems go to kill the poor tonight. Gonna kill kill kill kill kill the poor...Tonight. Behold the sparkle of champagne. The crime rate's gone, feel free again. O` life's a dream with you, Miss Lily White. Jane Fonda on the screen today. Convinced the Liberals it's okay. So let's get dressed and dance away the night. While they... kill kill kill kill kill the poor...tonight.
Forward To Death
I don't need your way of life. I can't stand you attitudes. I can do without your strife. I don't need this fucking world. I don't need this fucking world. This world brings me down, gag with every breath. This world brings me down. I'm looking forward to death. It seems so unreal to me, so much hate and so much pity. I can't take another day. It's such a bore, it gets me really sore. I don't need this fucking world. I don't need this fucking world. This world brings me down. Gag with every breath. This world brings me down. I'm looking forward to death. Looking forward to death.

Let's lynch The LandLord
The landlord's here to visit. They're blasting disco down below. Sez, "I'm doubling the rent cos the buildings condemned. You're gonna help me buy City Hall." But we can, you know we can. We can, you know we can. Let's lynch the landlord man. I tell them turn on the water. I tell `em turn on the heat. Tell me "All you ever do is complain" The they search the place when I'm not here. But we can, you know we can. Let's lynch the landlord. Let's lynch the landlord. Let's lynch the landlord. Let's lynch the landlord man. There's rats chewin` up the kitchen. Roaches up to my knees. Turn the oven on, it smells like Dachau, yeah. Til the rain pours through the ceiling. But we can, you know we can. Let's lynch the landlord man.
Drug Me
I don't want to think. Don't make me care. I wanna melt in with the group. I need the balls to leap out of my shelf, and let go with my friends. Can't come up with anything I want to do. I need a project I can finish. My brain needs some stimulation. Drug me, Drug me, Drug me, Drug me, Drug me. I'm so fucking tired. I gotta stay awake and get to work. I'm runnin` late. I gotta make it through the day and make my time go by. Ta and the stereo and girls are lots of fun. I want the max. I relate better loaded. "Got ta see the movie stoned" Drug me, Drug me, Drug me. Drug me- with natural vitamin C. Drug me- with pharmaceutical speed. Drug me- with your sleeping pills. Drug me- with your crossword puzzles. Drug me- with your magazines. Drug me- with your fuck machines. With a foundation of fads, more rock and roll ads... Drug me Drug me Drug me me me. Finally off of work. Unwind, and watch the ball game at the bar. Another potato chip weekend. Is here to last. Go away Go away Go away Go away Go away. Leave me alone. So I can't see myself.
Your Emotions
Your mommy told you this and your daddy told you that. Always think like this and never do that. You learned so many feelings, but what is there to that. Which are really yours or are you just a copy cat. You're so boring boring boring. Always tape machine recording. You're so boring boring boring. I've heard all this before. Planless and mindless. Scrap from anywhere. Bunch of used parts From garbage pails everywhere. Frankstein became a monster, just like you. Your scars only show. When someone talks to you. You're boring boring boring. Always tape machine recording. I've heard all this before. I've heard all this before. Your emotions make you a monster.
Chemical Warfare
Down at the arsenal they keep the never gasses. Guarded day and night by caged white rabbits. Been sitting there for years. I'm gonna have at it. I cut through the fence, run right in and grab it. Go crazy crazy crazy crazy... Now I got my own mustard gas in my pocket. Climb on a tree on a branch drop it. On a country club full of Saturday golfers. So I can watch them die. Chokin` shakin` in convulsions. Go crazy crazy crazy crazy crazy crazy crazy crazy... Chemical Warfare Warfare Warfare. Pani in the air. See the headless chickens runnin` Golf carts headed on crashin` Crackin` heads wide open. Scartch the gras, mister, you can't breath, and roll and writhe in a sandtrap. Starting to heave, claw those clubs lemme see you seeth. Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy. Chemical Warfare Chemical Warfare Chemical Warfare Chemical Warfare. Yellow air. Yellow clous. Blowin` down down down the fiarway. Sensitive to the touch. Movin' down the putting green. Heading straight for the big club house. Where the stuffed country club, effervascent ladies, so carefree relax, pose by the pool. Limber limp with a dry martini. Until...
California Uber Alles

Now it is 1984 knock knock at your front door. It's the suede/denime secret police. They have come for your uncool niece. Come quietly to the camp. You'd look nice as a drawstring lamp. Don't you worry, it's only a shower. For your clothes here's a pretty flower... DIE on organic poison gas. Serpent's egg's already hatched. You will croak, you little clown. When you mess with President Brown. California Uber Alles. Uber Alles California.
I Kill Children
I kill children. I love to see them die. I kill children and make their mamas cry. Crush `em under my car. I wanna hear them scream. Feed `em poison candy to spoil their Halloween. So you're in the kids ward. You're in there cos you're ill. How about some Pavulon, so I can see you chill. Time to hit the school bus. I thik I'll shoot the tires. Offer them a helping hand, of open telephone wires. Ever wanted to die? of course you have., but I won't until I get my revenge. I don't wanna see people any more. Things I never ever saw before. Make me see them for the shit they are. Take a smany as I can away with me. Anyone can be a king for a day... So kill children. I love to see them die. I kill children to make their mamas cry. I kill children. I bang their heads in doors. I kill children. Can hardly wait for yours...

We'll be dumped in institutions. Where we'll be drugged and shocked 'til we come out born-again Christians...
Funland At The Beach
Sunny Sunday at the amusement park. See the fat hands spill their pop. Oh babe - lots of flags and ballons,but someone sabotaged the roller coaster last night. Ran a turn and then it smashed right down. Through the crowded haunted house below. Oh No! Human hamburger! No! And it's Crushed little Kids. Crushed little Kids. Crushed little Kids. Adorn the boardwalk.
See the tourists drop their jaws and cones. See the owners smell a big lawsuit. Oh Police! (call your lawyer first). Make the witnesses go home and they'll turn on the TV and see the crushed little kids. Adorn the boardwalk...
Ill In The Head
In a desperate mind little gardens grow.
They grow very wide. They grow very tall. Why am I alive. Urban Wonderland.By the fence I stand In and out of hand. There are many paths, dripping dark so dense. Do not enter here. Enter over there. People closing in. Barking at my mind. Shoving me to wine
I want all alone. I want my own home. I want my own girl. Help me hate the world. Own and love my life.
