I Hate Rock'n'Roll
sung by William

I love rock 'n' roll
And all these people with no where to go
I love rock 'n' roll
All these people with nothing to show

I love the BBC
I love it when they're pissin' on me
And I love MTV
I love it when they're shittin' on me

I hate rock 'n' roll
And all these people with nothing to show
I hate rock 'n' roll
I hate it cause its fucks with my soul

Rock 'n' roll hates me
I hate you rock 'n' roll
I hate (rock 'n' roll hates me)

Snakedriver
sung by Jim

I've got syphilitic hetro friends in every part of town
I don't hate them but I know them I don't want them hanging around
I won't roll my bones for every little girl who gets on down
I got space and space got me I should be selling it by the pound
Ever since I heard the voice I thought I had no choice but then I kissed her
I don't mind if I get broken I don't mind if I get fixed
I don't mind if I'm not spoken I don't mind if I get kicks
If I wake up dead I'll wake up just like any other day
And the photographs of god I bought have almost fade away
Everything just passes by I thought it always would but then I kissed her

Something I Can't Have
sung by Jim

You're in my house you're in my face
You made me hate the human race
I got it good I got it strong
I got it down where it belongs
Aw it's sick and oh it's sad
I think you're something I can't have
Penetrate the happy place you got me crawling on my face
Come fly with me come lie with me come die with me
And we could kiss with tongues
I've got no place to go you've got no place to go
Aw it's sick and oh it's sad
I think you're something I can't have
To my head you're going to my head
All the things you said
All the things you swore
Are going to my head

Bleed Me
sung by Jim

Take what you want
Take what you need (it's alright)
Take what you want
I'm down on my knees (it's alright)
Take what you want
I'm starting to bleed (it's alright)
Take what you want
And then you can leave (it's alright)
Take what you need
Leave me to bleed
Take what you need
Take it and leave
I couldn't move
I couldn't hurt but I tried
Looking for something
I couldn't find but I tried
Try to be truthful
You told the truth but I lied
You can be useful
But then you were used and it died
Take what you need
Take it and leave
Take what you need
Leave me to bleed

33 1/3
sung by Jim

Got no direction
No resurection
Got no religion
No space to live in
This institution
Filled with pollution
Got no evolution
I got no solution

Well baby I get high
If you help me to get by
Baby I'm insane
I crucify my brain

Too much deceiving
Nothing to believe in
I get no reaction
And no satisfaction

No satisfaction

Don't need love
Don't need drugs
I don't need jesus
Don't need anybody

Don't need any body
But myself

Lost Star
sung by William

Life ain't so hard
When you're a star
Things ain't so bad
When you're a star
People ain't so cruel
When you're a star
Everybody looks up
People wanna believe in
I lost my way
When I lost my star

Penetration
sung by Jim

Give me penetration
Take it to the sky
Give me penetration honey take it till I die
Take it till it breaks my spine
Take it anyway, I don't care anyway
Kick it back till it breaks my spine
Give me penetration

New York City
sung by William

I got a woman and she ain't so tall
She got a mouth like texas and that ain't small
Hey Mr President get down on your knees
The USA's got a social disease
Feed my cock feed my brain
I'm tripping out in the pouring rain
I see the sky and the clouds from above
And I see the mountains but I'm not in love
Cause I see New York City (City)

Taking It Away
sung by Jim

So I'm standing on that street
Same fucking place
Same running feet
The way I'm going
I feel it well
No need to hurry
We'll soon be there

Take me where I wanna be
Taking it away

Well I can't hurry
Right off this street
It was where I have to be
Well I can't see
Still feeling for me
Well I should
I wish I could

Take me where I wanna be
Taking it away

I'm In With The Out Crowd
sung by Jim

You've been whoring now but you got sick
You've been living for an easy kick
Playing the fool
Acting the Queen
You've been a motherfucking dope machine
Don't rate the world so well
Don't like the world but you can't tell
Uh huh

Money out of faking
Faking out of fucking
Jesus out of nothing
I can't tell now
The fucking you've been faking
Well you better give me some

I've been trying but I don't get far
I've got nothing hey but I'm a star
Picking up gold
Selling a dream
I've been a motherfucking dope machine
I don't rate the world so well
I don't like the world but can't you tell
Uh Huh

I'm in with the out crowd
I'm in with the out crowd
I'm in with the out crowd
I'm in with the out crowd now

Little Stars
sung by William

Hey
What you've been sayin'
What you've been doin'
You're so good lookin'
What you've been cookin'
Who've you been spookin'
You're too good lookin'

I'm gonna kiss your pain away
I'm gonna kiss your blues away
I'm gonna kiss your pain

I don't know why I took that dirt
and I put that dirt in my eye
I don't know why I took that nail
and I banged that nail through my hand
I don't know why I took that gun
and I shot that smile from my face
I don't know why

Hey,
Look at the stars
Shining,
Look at the city
It's shining,
Look at your eyes
Shining,
Look at your lips,
Glowing,
Look at your face,
It's glowing,
Look at the love
It's growing,
I want to love you
I want you to love me

I'm gonna love your pain away
I'm gonna love your blues away
I'm gonna fuck your pain

Teenage Lust - Desdemoana Mix
sung by Jim

Little skinny girl she's doing it for the first time
little skinny girl she's doing it and it feels fine
she's taking hold and I'm holding on
holding on and my sense is gone
I got it you got it she's got it
she's taking hold of her sins now for the first time
well she's been told about sins now but it feels fine
she's taking hold and I'm holding on
holding on and my sense is gone
I got it you got it she's got it

The Perfect Crime
sung by Jim

We fell in love you liked the look in my eye
Hand in hand we reach for the sky
But I was easy baby
Yeah I was easy baby
And you told me so long
You never ever wanna see me baby

I lost control I got a hold of a knife
I took a hold then I ended your life
But it was easy baby
Yeah it was easy baby
I told you so long
I'm never ever gonna see you baby
