Belly Up (Holehog)
01:52
|

Hang on! I gotta do some shit real quick
Fuck that! You better get your ass in gear
Think fast! ‘Cause your life depends on it
No shit! It’s dark and hell is hot
Time’s an expensive illusion
Taxing and causing confusion
Time’s an expensive illusion
You know what’s up
Debt’s paid in full, when you’re belly up
Get real! We can skip the pleasantries
Kick rocks! I prefer my headphone’s company
Dead wrong! What you think this means to me
Drop Dead! A worthless pile of bones

Intro by the collage maestro, Winston Smith.
I heard it once said
“We’re all dead men”
We ain’t dead yet
Kicking and Screaming
Very much alive
Kicking and screaming
We ain’t dead yet
Kicking and screaming
Go out with a bang
Walk on the ceiling
With blood in our veins
One more time with feeling
Very much alive
We ain’t dead yet
Make this one count
We ain’t dead yet

By The Throat (Holehog)
01:42
|

|
Living in fear
Cling to a banner of hope
All you hold dear
With a flash, up in smoke
They’ve got you by the throat
Ensnared by a grasp growing tighter
Strangulation
It’s hard to envision a future
Beyond decimation
They’ve. Got. You.
They’ve got you by the throat
We save all our lives for a drop in the bucket
A wish in the well
I’m fucking fed up
Fighting uphill through the bullshit
I hate to feel hopeless, but
I’m fucking fed up
They want you to feel this way
They want you to feel insane
They want you to live this way
This system is inhumane

Wasting Away (Holehog)
02:18
|
|||
|
Day after day I feel disdain
Nothing has changed but it’s not the same
Filling this void is such a chore
I don’t think that I can fake it anymore
Wasting away until I’m nothing at all
’Til I’m dead and gone
I can’t shake these feelings of apathy and hate
Do I still have choices, or is this my fate?
I feel stuck in the mud without a rope
Is there no future, and is there any hope?

Taken Away (Holehog)

The C.I.A. G.A.V.E. me L.S.D.
They chip away, penetrate
System Failing
I’m slippin’ I’m Slidin’ Sliding
Taken away
I’m foamin’ I’m fryin’ frying
Chip in my brain
Taken away
The C.I.A. G.A.V.E. me L.S.D.
They shook me up, soda pop
System Failing
Now I walk the streets
My brain is dead so I can’t Rest In Peace
Taken from me
Nearly everything that makes a human being

You Be You (B-Side)
01:34
|
|||
|
you be you
and I’ll be me
maybe we can live in peace
we’ll do our best to try and see
through each other’s eyes
and have some empathy
you be you, and I’ll be me
you oughta try
to understand
my point of view
but l’m not sure you want to
and I’m not sure you can
what morons want, but no one needs
is more discord, on that we can agree
that’s long been true, it’s nothing new
maybe it’s destiny that you’ll be you
and I’ll be me

I’ve got a job at the bottle shop
on the corner
it’s not too hard and it’s not that important
punk is not a job
if you’re singing to make a living
you’re just a rock n roller
if you strive to capitalize I might pretend that I don’t know ya
‘cause punk is not a job
|

Waiting to Talk (B-Side)
01:32
|
|||
|
feathers sticking in our cap
of colonist ambition
as a trick we take the fifth
then sow this missive
bombs are going off around the clock
but we can’t hear em
‘cause we’re just waiting to talk
|
||||
9. |
||||
|
it’s just too complicated
so says the news
I’m just an American
I’m easily confused
it’s just too complicated
it’s too hard to figure who is who
if I see an oppressive, apartheid state
I must hate all Jews
it’s just too complicated
|
||||

Up Your Ass (B-Side)
01:18
|
|||
|
so sure in your assertions of what lies behind the curtains
every time they’re drawn you’re proven
wrong, now all we know for certain is you don’t know shit
so take that crap and shove it back up your ass
