i gotta get back my photograph i’m riding on a sea of change i’m ready for the remedy now stick it in my vein she was always wicked, she was trying to explain she was trying to remain, but she lost to the undertow she could never know, what the truth will always show what the truth will always know, well it all comes round about there's no conclusion just the aftermath it's sort of funny can’t explain i gotta get back to the underground and stick it in my vein she kept on falling down, then she landed on her head then she ended up dead, and i couldn't really help her out she could never know, what the truth will always show what the truth will always know, well it all comes round about she lost to the undertow she lost to the undertow she lost to the undertow the girl we never...

no occasion just a brand new season to start a classic war here we go back up from the bottom and we don't know what for ketch a breeze from beating hearts drifting all alone fired hands hold on to the body watching for a tender moan join us join us suck the lust a young woman hides the bones of a monkey just like her father before for sale is eternal salvation you find the metaphor sticky heads and naked mendings of old world mother clone a second skin of bloody kisses is sending the children home join us join us suck the lust ashes to ashes dust to dust ashes to ashes rust to rust ashes to ashes dust to dust join us suck the lust i wanna thank you for this fantasy of things that you adore useless are the wisdom's of science blinded and ignored a little time and to many hours short changed we come undone here ill stand in the final moments waiting for the black sun join us join us suck the lust become one part of the none become one part of the none good for all none no at all good for all none no at all join us join us suck the lust

ignorance is the plea of the weak to many shepherds are raping the sheep no excuses no need for remorse violence is the god given course i am big brother’s son generals orders “kill everyone” we pledge allegiance to bullets and guns we are the death pilots we are the death pilots   it’s not the size its the quantity killed protect the sick and the mentally ill truth justice and the american way now get out there and make the enemy pay   i am big brother’s son generals orders “kill everyone” we pledge allegiance to bullets and guns  we are the death pilots we are the death pilots i pledge allegiance  i pledge allegiance to bullets and guns i pledge allegiance to the united snakes of america i pledge allegiance  i am big brother’s son generals orders “kill everyone” we pledge allegiance to bullets and guns we are the death pilots we are the death pilots the crowds made a strange hand noise they’re heart worms withered in bile the crowds made a strange hand noise their prayers answered with gunshots and the old man cranked the foul machine as the sun blessed the deceivers and the old man cranked the foul machine as the son left the believers

i used up all my razors and i bleached my finger tips i was born again threw chemistry for a second chance at this i bought a brand new hope, for only $2.53 and threw away my ego, she always made me bleed i saw an old misfortune she was siting on the curb i asked her for directions, she said strait on out of here to whom it may concern it matters not to me i’m staring back at you threw the static on tv the leaves are golden brown rusted from the rain my synchronized watches are ticking fast again we started out in kansas with a suit case full of dreams i’ve never seen the ocean but i’ve heard there better things the funeral was on thursday early august afternoon the caskets open reflection looked just like me and you to whom it may concern it matters not to me i’m staring back at you threw the static on tv spiders eggs hatch in my ears two cups of adrenalin and a dash of fear is it raining there for you it happens to me when i think of you the telephone is ringing i called my self at home redefining stubborn ignorance we all die alone like the sound of broken glass and the songs they never play on the radio on the radio on the radio on the radio to whom it may concern it matters not to me i’m staring back at you threw the static on tv
