Sung:
White walls are surrounding me
Feeling this insanity
As I try to do my best
To fly over this cuckoo's nest
Rap:
My brain is in pain
Because it's insane
And I feel like these rhymes
Are so lame and plain
I'm still feelin' doubt
But I just need to shout
Because if I don't
Then I'll be spergin' out
Aspie? Ask me. I ain't nasty
Just roll with the flow
And let me here see
The noise and the violence
There's no fuckin' silence
Room ever so colder
Peek over my shoulder
I just wanna know
Will I ever go
Or will I just have
To go on with the flow
To hear the wails
Beyond the veil
And I want to bail
'Cause I fuckin' failed
Disgrace in my face
'Cause I've come to this place
I ain't gonna lie
Part of me wants to die
I just want to see
If I'll ever be free
Don't want my ambitions
Chopped down like a tree
I hide in the corner
I'm just like a mouse
I want to be free
From the fuckin' nuthouse
Sung:
White walls still surrounding me
And they just won't let me be
I cannot get me some rest
To fly over this cuckoo's nest

Punk Rock Rest Home
04:47
|
|
||
Verse 1:
I'm just a punk who got old
So I play acoustic guitars
I wait to take my vitamins
Screw rhymes, I'm gonna break my hip
Chorus:
Three chords and the truth
Is all I've ever known
I put on my black hat
For the punk rock rest home
Verse 2:
Liberty spikes are turning gray
Tongue stud in an antique show
Killing Joke shirt's been fossilized
Will Fugazi make music again?
Chorus
Verse 3:
I put the folk in "old folks"
I don't keep myself current
My LP's on phonautograph
Rutherford Hayes is a fraud
Chorus

Groundhog's Day
04:59
|
|
||
Verse 1:
Four seasons pass me by, it's as I feared
I'm never gonna see the way out of here
Pessimistic future is my destiny
Dark clouds are all around and all I see
I wish I could see the sun again
I want to be free and to be zen
I'm having a hard time seeing past my pain
And I don't know what you want, it's making me insane
Chorus:
I wake up, go to bed
Feels like I am now brain-dead
Twice a day, take a pill
Wonder if I have had my fill
Hear the lights as they hum
In this sanitarium
Will I go, will I stay
Or will I relive Groundhog's Day?
Verse 2:
I sit in a laundry room with a guitar
And I'm nowhere near my home, I am so far
Try to make some random chords to get some sound
'Cause this southpaw's playin' it all upside-down
Everyday, I sleep a lot because I'm bored
'Cause I've got these goddamn songs I can't record
And my past, I continue to here grieve
And I wonder, "will it end, will I soon leave?"
Chorus

Gas Chamber
02:53
|
|
||
Verse 1:
I smell a sulfur leak
It's choking out my lungs
I need to breathe again
I'm sick of smelling dung
Crop-dusters choking me
Face is turning blue
Food makes a health alert
Never end, it's never through
Chorus:
Methane is in my nose
It's gonna knock me out
It tortures me so
Of which there's no doubt
It makes me wanna scream
Just want to holler
Get me now outta here
This here gas chamber
Verse 2:
A "brrap" comes out the cheeks
And stinks up the air
Another dirty bomb
Biological warfare
More carbon emissions
Indoor pollution
Cork up the sphincter
The only solution
Chorus(x2)

Saturday Morning
05:00
|
|
||
Verse 1:
I like you
You like me too
But you don't like me
The way that I like you
Wish I knew what to say
To make you change your mind
But life is not like the cartoons
That we watch in our free time
Chorus:
Anvils don't fall from the sky
There is no ACME Corp.
To make a potion for the hearts
Of a couple of dorks
No Finn the Human or Marceline
There is no world of Ooo
But I know one thing that's true
I love you
Verse 2:
Saturday morning
Just isn't the same
I look into your eyes
And see the Warners playin' their games
I want to wake up next to you
And have you sing to my guitar
As we eat Captain Crunch
And watch some more of Avatar
Chorus

War Inside My Head
03:49
|
|
||
Chorus:
War inside my head
It'sa bringin' me down
Causin' great confusion
In the world around
War inside my head
Makin' me insane
Swirlin' rollercoaster
Inside of my brain
Verse 1:
Light and darkness swirlin' deep inside
Mental faculties on the downslide
World all around me makes no sense
Nothin' but noise, there is no silence
A fucked-up world, of which there's no doubt
The war within comes from war without
Television is Babylon's device
Spreading conflict and all the vice
Chorus
Verse 2:
I no longer know who the hell I am
Witness to the remains of my plan
Shattered pieces all around me
Don't know who I'm supposed to be
Am I a revolutionary
Or just a person who wants to be left be
A constant ringing like a telephone
Can y'all leave me the hell alone?
Chorus
Verse 3:
I have reached the songwriter's curse
Coming up with words for a final verse
Don't know how to finish this song
I feel that it will go on too long
Doubting if I am any good
If I am doing what I should
As a writer or a person
Doesn't matter: we are near the end
Chorus

Game of Life
05:12
|
|
||
Verse 1:
Press start to begin
This game, where nobody wins
Few know the cheat codes
To get down the golden road
That road is a pit
A Jaguar: it's 16-bit
Lies are what's in store
I see them on my Commodore
Chorus:
Find out who's friend or foe
You can go high or low
Neverending strife
Get the high score in this game of life
Verse 2:
Childhood to elderly
Gone back to the Odyssey
When games were in kilobits
And weren't the size of paperclips
Things were so simple then
To be boys instead of men
Atari to Series X
Why have things become complex?
Chorus
Verse 1(first two lines only)
Chorus

Nihilist
02:01
|
|
||
Nihilist
Meaningless
Bitter taste
Goddamn waste
Life ain't worth a tiny bit
Hope's a joke and bullshit
No future
Overture
What you see
On the screen
This is what you wanna see
A bunch of losers on TV
In the end
There's no end
We don't stay
Pass away
And when we all disappear
No one will know we were here
Human race
Gone from space
Were we there
No one cares
If extinction makes its call
Then why should we try at all
Nihilist(x4)

Verse 1:
I have gone off-end
I have lost my way
I don't know where I
Will go today
It's all falling down
My sanity
Save me from this world
Give me clarity
Bring it to my ear
Bring me the sound
I have lost my mind
I wish to be found
Clear my anger now
Give me inner peace
Cleanse out my soul
Let the darkness cease
Chorus:
Elektroshock Rock
Music therapy
Ground my thoughts now
Give me sanity
Verse 2:
Stuck inside my head
Trapped inside myself
I was screaming out
And I needed help
Get me out of Hell
Help me now to see
My mind's clouded up
I want to be free!
Chorus
