Sexually 05:31
And she was sliding across the room Her beauty shattering my gloom My emotions on a hair trigger wire I want to feel her fire My dreams have run me away I don't hear what she has to say I see her body beneath her dress Could she move more and talk less? It's hard for me not to think of you sexually. I know there's more to you than what I see This is something that is wrong with me I'd like to meet with you on your own ground But my desires they just bring me down It's hard for me not to think of you sexually.

Love is Dead 05:14
I love my stereo, I love my car I love my new girl, though I ain't got very far I'll keep her around for a month or two And when she loves me, I'll get someone new I know what love is, I feel it all the time I'm a man and I know, everything feels just fine Everyone's always out to get me Everyone's always out to tie me down Everyone's always out to snare me Everyone want's to put me underground Love is dead. My love it will hold "Hey baby get me a beer" If she does what she's told You know there's nothing wrong here.

Well I hear there's a hole in the ozone I hear it's 'cause they cut down all the trees Well I hear that they're killing all the dolphins In the drift nets made for tuna fish I suppose the tuna, they are better Than the dolphins, mixed with pickle, put on rye And I wonder is it scientific eating That the Japanese are doing with the whales? Well I say that doesn't bother me I say that doesn't bother me, none Well I hear about Serbia and Croatia Where your land of birth, tells them if you're a friend And I hear about a son that robbed his mother Busted when his mask fell down Well I hear they got two for one pizza I suppose that I might get me some And I hear that Demi got a boob job They are for sale, $500 grand a piece Well I hear they raped a woman up in Queensland Well I hear that they killed her unborn child Well I hear that they found a little girl in a ditch And her nine year old body, had been defiled Well I say that doesn't bother me I say that doesn't bother me, none

He loves his woman gonna make her life brand new take her away from oppression show her what she could do He loved her daughter 13 and cute as pie he was gonna be her father yes he would, do or die She would leave her husband she has tried before in the past, with the fist forgotten she went back for more Now, with her lover's promise of a life free from fear she steps towards a new life but one hand pulls her back by the hair The lover feels his guilt like an itch he can't scratch She needed protection and he was at home I felt his pain, I felt like his son If anyone threatens, he will take them on 3am, sees a knock at the door angry words, the loser could not take being alone anymore he thought that he, would even the score 13 sees death bleeding on the floo

She can see what I'm thinking She knows when I'm not joking She knows where she's going She has plans that she's sewing A dream she's been growing She knows where she's going I'm not afraid of an intelligent woman I'm not afraid of an intelligent woman She knows what I am Sees through my scams She knows what I am And loves me She works while I'm sleeping For money she's saving To get where she's going. I work in the evening Into bed she is stirring To her arms I am going I wonder when she's leaving A time that I'm dreading A time for some growing I'm not afraid of an intelligent woman I'm not afraid of an intelligent woman

Brothers, band together The world conspires against you Give them no pleasure The nose on your face did nothing for you Money, the talk you hear Is lost in the lies you choose to believe Reality don't sleep with thee The truth falls off your deaf, dumb ears Think not, speak not Memories twisted to suit What you would like to think occurs Blind aggression your only sport If you don't know, I can't tell you Cover up under homes and jobs Secure and safe, in the things you hate Your only hope for deliverance Turned into a weekly supplement Think not, speak not.

Nothing's free, and nothing ever was With my pain, I pay for your love And with my doubt, over every word I speak Your pain or anger, always leaves me meek Nothing's sure, on sand lay our foundation Except decay as youth becomes corruption Visions drive, is lost in truth or duty Love's last breath turns to resignation The seed of doubt, spit it out. Nothing's true, this you can believe "I love you", once said is to decieve Beauty grasped, we see it pass us by Sad old age, memories like cancer lie. The seed of doubt, spit it out.

It was Saturday, I thought I'd have a sleep Now I lay me down, I pray the lord my soul to keep But as I settled in to rest for a while The knock upon my door, revealed a bottle and a smile. Yes I am, gonna buy me a bottle Yes I am, gonna buy me a bottle Ok, so I resign myself, they can stay half an hour Then I know that I must reassert myself, reassert my power They start to play a little music, "Please, quietly" I say I'm wondering what happened to my restful day Yes I am, gonna buy me a bottle Yes I am, gonna buy me a bottle In the corner we've got a base drum pumping and in my lounge room there's 200 people jumping I thought about this time, I'd be lying back and dreaming Not running, jumping, laughing, smoking, baby screaming.
