"The Pet Goat" Lyrics

Lonely Old Soul

When I was younger, I listened to what mama said
Hold out for true love and don’t be so easily led
I closed my eyes to imagine a vision so fine
Now that I’m older I feel like I’ve wasted my time

Will I be waiting the rest of my life ?

I’m lonely I’m lonely, I’ma lonely old soul
Find my true love before I get old
She’s one in a million, a heart pure as gold
Lonely I’m lonely, I’ma lonely old soul

There’s something better than being alone

When I was younger, I learned how to tell wrong from right
Then they made me into a robot and forced me to fight
Pick up this rifle, go out find your enemies, KILL!
Now that I’m older I find that I’ve had all my fill

Will I be fighting the rest of my life?

Chorus

She’s held prisoner by pixels of light on a screen
Killing is fine, but acts of love are obscene
Build up the tension, direct all that violence on me
The beast is growing, on hatred and ignorance it feeds

Will I be fighting the rest of my life?

Chorus
Love means sacrifice, love means release


Chemical Girl

I met her on a Wednesday
Upstairs at Kimo’s
One beer was the price of a lapdance
For John the Baker and me
So we took her back to the East Bay
Where a freakshow was in effect
A watermellon between her legs
And the taste of her on my lips

Everytime you call me up,
YOU'RE STRUNG OUT AND LOADED UP AGAIN!
Chemicals inside your head,
YOU'RE STRUNG OUT AND LOADED UP AGAIN!
YOU'RE STRUNG OUT AND LOADED UP AGAIN!
YOU'RE STRUNG OUT AND LOADED UP AGAIN!

She moved into my apartment
And I thought that this was love
The time we spent making out
I was praisin’ the stars above
Then She came home late one night
After being away for a week
She fucked a stranger in my bed
I thought I’d go insane

Chorus / Breakdown

Days and nights go by,
I wonder where you are
Then you call me from a city mental ward
Oh chemical girl why’d you go and break my heart?
I should have seen it coming, right out from the start.

Chorus (3/4)

Ill Gotten Gains

The deal tree gives no shelter,
to the drowned and drunken Sailor
In his final hour of wretched life
He begs to ask God’s favor
As Science is our worship The flowers have all gone
A bright and pleasant autumn day
to make death’s journey on.

Ill Gotten Gains, Ill Gotten Gains
All my miseries are .... ILL GOTTEN GAINS!

The corpse you planted in your ground
Will soon begin to sprout
Cast your stones at dying fools
To drive the demons out
Oh! cursed metal savior,
How can you know the cost?
This final scene I will not see
Wake up the dream is lost

(chorus)(solo)

Every man’s a sinner, Every man’s a saint,
Mostly men just spending time, Try’n to bein’ what they ain’t,
I fought for my delusions
I suffered for my loves
I can’t return, so keep my name
Among those dead with guns

(chorus 2x)

Orpheus

There once was a maiden,
so fine and so fair
I loved her as dearly,
though the fates did not care
She was taken from me,
for her honor she bled
The bite of a viper,
so to the land of the dead

Down! Down to Hell!
Rescue you - you my love

The three headed Cerebus,
with music be soothed
Allowing my passage,
through the darkness and gloom
I sang out to Hades,
‘till he gave her new breath
In a moment of weakness,
she was borne back to death

Down! Down to Hell!
Rescue you - you my love



Everything is F.U.N.

An ill wind blows in from the ocean
It’s raging out from mother nature on humanity
So go hide in your fallout shelter
It makes no difference,
if the sun won’t shine we all shall die
They’s a plannin’ for a nuclear war
Sayin’ everything is foretold
Just because the Bible tells us so
Humans are entitled to rape

EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG!
EVERYTHING IS FUCKED UP NOW!

I’m lookin’ out on the horizon
I see what happens when the truth becomes the enemy
So go hide in your fallout shelter
It makes no difference, if the sun won’t shine
we all shall die

EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG!
EVERYTHING IS FUCKED UP NOW!
EVERYTHING IS FUCKED UP NOW!

React, React, React, React - No time left to think it over
Decide, Decide, Decide, Decide - Make your mind or you will follow
Debate Debate Debate, Debate - Would you rather be livin’ in a military state
Survive, Survive, Survive, Survive - Rats inside your brain divided
Nostradamus and David Koresh Revalations is oh so fresh!
Just because the Bible tells us so!

EVERYTHING IS FUCKED UP NOW!

Truth is not the enemy - Would you rather be dead, would you rather be free?
Debate Debate Debate, Debate - Would you rather be livin’ in a military state
Truth is not the enemy - Would you rather be dead, would you rather be free?
Debate Debate Debate, Debate - Would you rather be livin’ in a military state?


Die for Oil!

Long ago in the days when hippies roamed the Earth
They’d talk about the joys of life and rebirth
They’d protest the war with flowers in their hair
Now look around you won’t find them anywhere
They’re gone diga dig dig dig to an early grave
Or they work ticka tic tic tic as a corporate slave
Drivin’ round dicka dic dic dic in their S U V’s
Watchin’ lies diga dic dic dic on the big T V’s

Die for Oil tic tic tic tic tic Tragedy!
Die for Oil tica tica tica tica tica Sucker!

The hunger for oil grows louder every day
It’s in our best interest but we don’t have a say
Eight thousand dead from nuclear waste
The glory of war leaves a bitter taste
Times will change ticka tic tic tic but they stay the same
Time we learn licka lic dic dic the rules of the game
Go and die diga dig dic dic for the economy
Go and die diga dic dic dic it’s good for the country

Chorus

The TV says it’s war today - And we do what we’re told
They tell us there’s no other way - And we do what we’re told
It’s time to end our childrens’ play - And just as we are told
It’s time to cast our lives away - And do what we are told
GO DIE! GO DIE! GO DIE! DIE YOU SUCKER!
DIE FOR OIL! DIE FOR GREED! DIE FOR MONEY! JUST DIE!!

If you want it that bad, why don’t you go and get it?
Instead you send children to die for it
If you want it so bad, why don’t you fight for oil?
Instead you send our children to die for it.
If you want it so bad, why don’t you go and get it?
Instead you send the innocent to die for oil.


Vampires in Space

It’s time to test your religion
Step up to test your faith
When you ain’t got nobody
You can’t express your hate

The best years are behind us
It’s time to pay the price
A toxic sludge hangover
A plague of rats and mice

I live and then I die
No one seems to understand
I can’t believe the lie
Bow down to the Man

Vampires in space
Vampires in space
You can’t avoid the human race
It’s crawlin’ everywhere

You borrow on your beauty
What do you truly own?
When they have sucked your lifeblood
You must repay the loan

I live and then I die
No one seems to understand
I can’t believe the lie
Bow down to the Man

Vampires in space
Vampires in space
You can’t avoid the human race
It’s crawlin’ everywhere
You can’t resist the human taste
It’s callin’ for ya now



"Shadows Rise" Lyrics

Money Rules the World

If you’re like me you’ve got a problem
The drugs they give me ain’t no good
Doctors say they know the answers
Now I see they’re full of shit
Money man a Money man it rules out reason
Salivate when the bell goes ding
Voices say they’re out to get me
Put me away for my own good

Don’t you try to tell me, You know what’s best for me

If you’re like me you’ve always noticed
How badly our society’s fucked
They say we live in a land of freedom
But you better watch out what you say
Lock em’ up, lock em up and make em sorry
For taking on the status quo
Because they don’t like my opinion
They take away my right to speak

Don’t you try to tell me, You know what’s best for me

Money rules the world - and ya better face the facts
Money rules the world - and we got no voice
Money rules the world - they don’t give a fuck what we say
Money rules the world - Money rules the world!

If you aren’t getting with the program
They’ll lock you away from society
They’ll put you in an institution
They teach you how to think and feel
Money man a Money man if you ain’t got none
Then you ain’t got no liberty
If you’re poor then you get no justice
In death is the only equality

Don’t you try to tell me, You know what’s best for me
Money rules the world...

Enemy

I’m running in my dreams, I’m running from my fears
They never leave my head, They never give me peace

I wanna remember, I wanna forget, The time I spent with you
I’m caught in a whirlpool of love and regret, I can’t get over you

Nothing isn’t anything and that’s just what you mean to me
Trouble with the universe is now you don’t belong to me
You’re not coming home tonight, you’re sleeping with the enemy

What do you want from me? You know I’ll give to you
There’s pleasure and there’s pain And everything in between

I wanna remember, I wanna forget, The time I spent with you
I’m caught in a whirlpool of love and regret, I can’t get over you

Nothing isn’t anything and that’s just what you mean to me
Trouble with the universe is now you don’t belong to me
You’re not coming home tonight, you’re sleeping with the enemy

I’m glad you’ve moved on with your life
I wish there was something for me too
This emptiness, This emptiness, This emptiness, This emptiness
Am I to blame for losing you? Am I to blame for losing you?
There’s anti-hope and anti-love, anti-hope and anti-love
There’s sour grapes and bitter tears
This emptiness, This emptiness, This emptiness, This emptiness
Am I to blame for losing you?

I’m running in my dreams
I’m running from my fears
They never leave my head
They never give me peace

I wanna remember I wanna forget
The time I spent with you
I’m caught in a whirlpool of love and regret
I can’t get over you

Nothing isn’t anything and that’s just what you mean to me
Trouble with the universe is now you don’t belong to me
You’re not coming home tonight, you’re sleeping with the enemy

More Cash/More Speed

Got more money than I know what to do with
More that a new car and less than a country club
Stashed all away in a moldy old mattress
Hangin’ in a corner of my one room apartment

Everytime I think of the taste of your lemonade
Makes me aware of the things that I wanna change
Get a new name, new job, new identity
Trade it all in for a face lift symmetry

Well I don’t wanna go to work
And I don’t wanna go to school
And I don’t wanna live in society
Cuz everyone is stupid, everyone is stupid
and everyone looks at me....
Like I’m one of THEM!

I’m floating in another soft nightmare
MORE CASH! MORE SPEED! MOREON!
The walkin’ dead and the walking wounded
MORE CASH! MORE SPEED! MOREON!

Got a song that I wanted to sing you
More lines than I ever coulda memorize
If I wasn’t dumb than I wouldn’t be me
And If I wasn’t smart than I’d have a good day job

Can’t seem to shake that smelly old feeling
Sort of like a stain that keeps reappearing
If I’m at home then I wanna be out drinking
If I’m at a bar then I wind up broke

Chorus

Well, backup I lost my way
I thought I had another option
Something about a choice
Like how the Hell to live my life

Well I thought it was okay
For me to express my opinion
Now I’m locked away
Behind a mask of indifference

Chorus

Do You Wanna Die?

I’m livin’ this life, but I don’t know why
Everybody hates me and I wanna die
Whatever I do seems to fall apart
And every lover leaves me with a broken heart

It’s not like I ever had that much to lose
But I find myself wanting, pills and booze!
My life’s a joke and my job’s a drag
My only relief comes from an eighth ounce bag

So do you wanna die, do you wan be set free?
And leave this trouble that never leaves me
There’s a girl I want, and she’ll never be mine
Cause I’m a failure at everything every time

Well there’s enough to pay the bills and nothing more
Now if you got no green then you’ll never score
I’m so pathetic I can’t stand to live
And the world wants more than I have to give

Well hari kari’s better than a life of pain
I’d kill myself if I wasn’t so lame
A gun is a god to deliver me
From this life I hate and this world that hates me

So do you wanna die, do you wan be set free?
And leave this trouble that never leaves me
There’s a girl I want, and she’ll never be mine
Cause I’m a failure at everything every time

Disease

Here’s the pit that I’m falling into
Contagion junk superfly
Sell myself for a pound a quarter
Now’s the time for shooting junk on a stick

I love your tasty box babe
I love you prefab hair
Everything is getting clearer
Why don’t you fuck yourself in the mirror

Disease - is crawling through me
Disease - I got from you
Disease - It won’t even kill me
Disease - I got from you

Now there’s nothing left to hold sacred
Everything’s got a price attached
Give me head and I’ll give you a twenty
Round the world for the luxury fix

Now what can you expect dear
Now what do you expect
I’ve got nothing to lose, so
I’m gonna - give it to you

Disease - is crawling through me...

Karma cool daddy-o what ya holdin’?
Need some smack, need some crank, need some blow
My machine is primed for action
Stick it in, get it off, pull it out

Now what can you expect dear...

Disease - is crawling through me...

Heaven

Well I’m a good catholic boy, I get down on my knees
I worship for Jesus, he fills all my needs
He’s my God and Savior, It’s not mine to tell
I’m going to heaven, you’re going to hell

So say you’re pagan - You’re Allah’s child
You’ll get damnation - You’ll get the fire
There’s no one waiting - To catch your fall
Feel the fahrenheit - original recepie or extra crispy

One’s born every minute, there’s room for one more
I’m just a tourist, a corporate whore
Go to church on Sunday, go to work each day
The Devil must have cursed me cause my daughter turned out gay

So say you’re pagan - You’re Allah’s child
You’ll get damnation - You’ll get the fire
There’s no one waiting - To catch your fall
Feel the fahrenheit - original recepie or extra crispy

Keep away, yr different from me
Keep away, your nose is too large
Keep away, I can’t pronounce your name
Keep away, I don’t want what you got
Keep away, mine’s the one true god
Keep away, you got some kinda disease
Keep away, you’re a queer
Keep away, yr different from me!

Only way to get to heaven, only way to get to heaven is mine!
So say yr pagan...
Only way to get to heaven, only way to get to heaven is mine!

Oblivion

Kitty kitty with the suicide sunbeam,
I can tell you’re not from around here
Have you ever known a love that could kill you
Have you ever held a life in your hands
I’m alive lookin’ for something, I can’t find within myself
Electricity out from you body
Bends my will to whatever you want - whatever you want

I’m living in oblivion - now it’s my mind that’s got to go
May I have another fix to see me on my way?

Repetition gets me so tired, Day by day draggin’ me down
Auto pilot switch to engage me
Chase the carrot at the end of the rope

Playing games in my own subconscious
Catch a wave baby, crash and burn
Reinvent myself for each person
Looking at you like you’re looking at me - who ya lookin’ at

I’m living in oblivion - now it’s my mind that’s got to go
May I have another fix to see me on my way?

Can’t be late - gotta cut rate, move it along - dump it on the third world
Make my way - every day, gotta get along - dancin’ to the new beat
Go with the flow - can’t go slow, catch my breath - be back in a minute
Keep the pace - stay in the race, mind your place - and don’t fall DOWN
Cause it’s a long way down...from here, from here

Kitty kitty with the suicide sunbeam, you got no reason to fear me
Have you ever known a love that could kill you?
Have you felt anything at all?
I want to release your desire, Suck your soul in the back of my car
Forget about the world and it’s problems
I got the cure for the hell that you’re in...This hell called life

I’m living in oblivion - now it’s my mind that’s got to go
May I have another fix to see me on my way?

My Words

You’re gonna hold my words against me
You’re gonna bring me to my knees
You’re gonna spend up all my money
You’re gonna give me your disease
You’re gonna bring me to my knees
You’re gonna give me your disease

Our world is headin’ for disaster
Now everything is black and white
You’ll find your servant is your master
Now everything is wrong and right
Now everything is black and white
Now everything is wrong and right

Now I bet you think that I’m a bastard
Now I bet you think that I’m a jerk
Now I bet you think that I’m a loser
Now everything is wrong and right
Now everything is black and white
Now everything is wrong and right

Retard (I'm A Special Person)

Why are you looking at me?
Is something wrong with my face?
Is there something that’s all screwed up?
Is there something out of place?

I got my own way of seeing
It is no better or worse
They’re gonna give me a list of problems
and tell me that I am cursed

I fall but they won’t catch me
They hit the back my skull
My bones are always breaking
My mind - they say is dull

I try to answer the questions
I try to fill in the blanks
Don’t know what they want me to tell them
Don’t know how I’m s’posed to think

I am alone with my problems
I am alone with my fate
I am alone in being special
Cause I don’t even rate

I fall but they won’t catch me...

I want out of this body
I want out of this life
There’s no one who will listen
Gonna cut me - with a knife

Now there’s a reason for living
Now there’s a reason to be
As long a I take my medication
I’m happy to be me

Don’t tell me that I am special
Don’t tell me that I am wrong
Don’t tell me that I’ve got a problem
My problem has gone

I fall but they won’t catch me...
I want out of this body...
