In an Ishmaelian sect of Islam
Aga Khan Hassan, Sabbath said
Nothing is true
Everything is permissible!
Aga Khan Hassan Sabbath (introduced hash to the world)
flowing cloud of glazing blue smoke
delirium - turned into rage
Aga Khan Hassan Sabbath introduced hash to the world
illuminate the ones around you
then dominate your world
In an illuminated sect of masons
Primus Ordi Adam Weishauptt said
nothing is true
everything is permissible!
Tuesday, Wednesday to Friday night
with those dishes I do fight
careful with that blue pint glass
push too hard it just might smash
Dishwasher - I say it loud
Dishwasher - I am so proud
Cheese that sticks to every glass
floats around soft sticky mass
mixing drinks and clearing plates
it's customers I really hate
Stranded - got nowhere to go
Stranded - low on cash flow
Stranded - no place to call my own
Stranded - don't even have a phone
Stranded - seems like eternity
Stranded - got to find a place for me
Stranded - different couch each night
Stranded - can't put up a fight
Stranded - need to be alone
Stranded - peace of mind is home
Stranded - no one will rent to me
Stranded - need a place to set me free
Krypto - in yer face
Krypto - make the space
Krypto - lock my bike
Krypto - saved my life
Screamin' down Spadina on a hopped up hybrid road bike
clipped into the pedals so you gotta make the turn right
asshole in a Volvo seems to want to intercept your path
best expression on his face watching his side mirror smash
Flying west on Richmond - rush hour at its peak
you got a hot rush on your back late - you're tired and beat
you're merging just past Peter - some shithead's lousy horn blasts
your tension snaps - the kyptos out and on his car you beat
Cranking south on Bay Street in the bike and cab lane
you've got a cab behind you and his attitude's lame
he doesn't want to pass but won't stay off your ass
you meet him at the stoplight and watch his window smash
You do just as he tells you
you do it every time
you let his habit drag you into his world of slime
he says it's because he loves you
sticks a needle in your arm
takes you many world's away
makes everything just fine
Daddy takes her to the room
he says that she'll be fine
the men don't want to talk to her
they're different all the time
sometimes they make her dress up
sometimes they make her cry
daddy says it because she loves him
she starts to wonder why
Sell your daughter on the street
push her ass to make ends meet
support your habit shoot your dope
your life should end up on the end of a rope
the needle now controls her life
she wants to stop it with a knife
daddy's voice gets more intense
and everything's not fine
Drag you down
What's so glorious about being dead
what's so glorious about a bullet in your head
what's so glorious about fighting a war
what's so glorious I don't know anymore
Lest we forget about their sacrifice
lest we forget about how they gave their lives
lest we forget about the horror and pain
lest we forget about the political gain
We must remember our glorious dead
we must remember who made their beds
we must remember who sent them to war
we must remember when we tear down that wall
We have become a weak society
we are the target the war's waged on you and me
we must become independent and strong
we must remember to not be strung along
I spent my youth dreaming of beer
it's so smooth going down my throat
a glass of water just won't do
it's driving me crazy - don't know what I'll do
So I put together this big plan
to get a job at the beer company
I went down and applied for a job
gave me some work but wouldn't give me...
FREE BEER
So I decided to start me up a band
the quest for free beer is what it's all about
playing music will get you there
it's lots of fun while you're drunk
You say you call them
as you see them
but your vision is so blurred
You say you are right
and you will fight
for this place you call your home
You scream and you shout
for seperation
in a land that's not your own
Open up your eyes - you'll see
open up your eyes - you'll see
open up your eyes - you'll see
you're the same as me
There once was a guy named Sam
never had a single friend
he stayed inside almost everyday
watching TV was all that he did
Flipping through the channels saw music TV
metal videos caught his eye
seemed like a good way to meet some friends
and a logical step to picking up women
Then one day he went a little nuts
went downtown and bought some pot
smoked a big joint caught a big buzz
at the music store got the top ten
Met some people thought they were friends
as it turned out they didn't care
about a rocker with the top ten
so he went home to watch his TV
Sometimes I hate him
sometimes I don't
sometimes I want to shove my mic right down his throat
send me up to Eglinton with an acher on my back
shoots me right back down again with nothing in my pack
Sometimes he likes me
sometimes he don't
sometimes he treats me like a mule on a rope
works me on the west side - lousy sameday in my bag
then way out to the east side - oh man he's such a drag
Sometimes I love my job
sometimes I don't
sometimes I'd like to watch my bike burn up in smoke
wake up in the morning - 2 calls, my tires flat
just get finished fixin' it, hit a cab and my frames cracked
Ride my bike every day
up at 7 for lousy pay
ride 'til 6 - I need a fix
six quarts of beer will do the trick
Don't ask me why I'm in this state
don't ask me now you ask too late
don't worry about the damage done
I know I'm not the only one
Don't ask me why I'm in this state
you'll find it's you I hate
you say it's nothing you have done
so long the road's a lonely one
Don't ask us why we have to hate
we are the bomb - it's way too late
it's just the start - like early frost
for all you built it will be lost
Don't ask us why we're in this state
you've pushed too hard - we can't relate
our grasp on life it just won't last
we live our lives in one big flash
From the day you're born 'til the day you die
sentenced for life in some forgotten sty
population two hundred - your family's inbred
Uncle Fred's brand new baby just born with two heads
They bus you to school to the next shithole town
you got a bad attitude for skin that is brown
your pick-up's a Chevy and guns on the rack
take care of the problem - be it red, green or black
You spend all your days quaffin' dandelion wine
and punchin' out hippies for kicks from time to time
you squeal up the main drag - five minutes there and back
relentless boredom - how long 'til you crack
No urge to get out
stagnate and rot
a space reserved in the family plot
no urge to travel
get up and flee
just another dud in the family tree
Parents are always on your back
teachers telling you what to do
going to work is like boot camp
but it's all the same to you
Go away
leave me alone
You never seem to do the right thing
no matter what you say or do
there's always someone in your face
trying to tell me what to do
You gotta get what's in style
selling this and selling that
that's what's on the TV set
for a fee they'll sell your soul
They're begging for money or pushing dope
you join the church to save your soul
what they want is your money
for a fee they'll sell their soul
Abduct a girl in your car
your wife helps - she's a star
what you want - you just take
a cry for help - it's way too late
First girl was just a trial run
second girl done just for pure fun
you're the king - he says it loud
closet fuck submission make him proud
Compliant first - hoped it wouldn't last
defiant next to her last gasp
she smashed her down - dumped her in a ditch
I'll watch you burn - you fucked up bitch
Some things, she said, are worth dying for
tied up battered - lying on the floor
fuck you, she said, I won't play your twisted games
she was so strong and so very brave
