Hobo - I'm hobophobic So what AH AH AH
Scared of bums
Not just because they stink bad
Not just because they're crackers
From drinking too much Lysol
Let them be
Just don't get fuckin' near me
Scared of bums AH AH
Infested with microscopic bugs
Endocrine systematic Doo Doo
Why don't they get a job?
Let them be
Scared of bums.

There's something wrong with mass consumption
Why do we want what we don't need?
Alcohol burnt clean asphalt methamphetamine
Will make it seem alright It's gonna make it seem alright
Living in the hunger underground
Some people say I got a problem with authority so
What if I do man it beats relinquished control
Philthy Phil Philantropist
You were take when you should be given away
Philthy Phil you give to us
We cannot repay
There's something grand about being nothing
There's something lame about being grand
No more holidays in the sun don't want no holidays in these
That's me not bein you, that's just me not bein you
Either part of the solution or the problem
Can there not be a middle ground for just the anybody
Replace superman with Joe the ordinary
Philthy Phil Philanderer
You've taken when you shoulda give away
Filthy Phil you gave to us
More than we cannot repay

A Christian an anarchist slash prostitute
figures out the true meaning of freedom
Not freedom like America freedom like a shopping cart
Kick back no tense you got a bag of grub
cost you about 50 cents
No fear no fuckin feat
malt liquor tastes much better on the street
Crustin, a way of life for heroines and heroes
had hitchhike the road to Eden
Not Eden like the garden state
Eden like the state of mind
Kick back cheap thrills
you'll do anything for a laugh even if it kills you
The bridge you took it out
the ticket takers suddenly lost count
Sleeping under rays
your teeth crumbling away say goodbye
To all responsibility you never wanted it man
Wasting time whenever you get the chance
Which happens to be all the time
Kick back free meals
A couple of times a day you make a couple of shady deals
No work no fuckin pay
Cardboard condominium by the bay
Between the red & black and you're never goin' back
Say goodbye to all responsibility cause
You never wanted it man

How money polluted my mind

Dough what our lives are lived for
Rae just a crazy Aussie
Me the generation forges on
Fodder for corporations
Sewing our lips together
LA such a nice place to get shot

Don't forget the T it
Follows liber in the the constitution
Following the part about pursuit
Of happiness the bi product
Of colonial precious metal
Mine extracts which
Brings us back
To dough

Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do

Today I saw a kid
Torture a cat
Too much leisure
Teenage Norman Rockwell
Paints it black!

How did the chain get started?
More is what everyone wants
Needy is what none of us are
Co-operation died last night
Ruptured bleeding heart forsight
Me, I'm just a loo

So don't expect the best
you won't be disappointed when you take
A bite and watch the worm crawl back inside.
Don't believe the fairy tales of million dollar happiness,
Los Angelistic lifestyle
chardonnay

Pursuit of million dollar happiness

Happiness was killed we watched it bleed,
some say it died from hate
Some say from bleeding heart disease

How money polluted my mind

She'll have another piece of pie
She'll have a double Rueben rye
She works hard at eating well
That's why I love her

She's got a couple of pony kegs
Her arms are bigger than my legs
And when she holds me I can't breathe
That's why I love her

I'm her butter she's my bread
She's like a mobile waterbed
And when I get on top of her
I can't touch the mattress

And when her flesh begins to sag
She's like a human sleeping bag
I feel so cozy safe and warm
She's my insulation

I always know just where she sat
And when she's on me I get flat
Some broken ribs a punctured lung
That's why I love her

She's my phillie I'm her stud
Her bean is bigger than my pud
It's like feeding a tic-tac to a whale
That's why I love her

She'll have another piece of pie
She'll have a double Rueben rye
She works hard at eating well
That's why I love her

She's got a couple of pony kegs
Her arms are bigger than my legs
And when she holds me I can't breathe
That's why I love her

Tudududutu (x4)
That's why I love her

. . .

seems like everybody's got
somethin i have not
a reason not to die
so I say death to mr. right
he makes me sad
yeah yeah yeah

She's been around a couple of years
Tasted 31 flavours
Theres only one she really hates
That would be vanilla bean
The blandest one don't make her scream
And that's what she likes to hear the most

Liza's been around the block
She's currently a femme bitch top
A giant step from old Louise
Now she's the one thats on the prey

She used to wear her hair short long
Determining her preferance
She didn't like that dynamic
Trading in her flannel shirts
For six inch heels, latex skirts
She even bought herself some bras

Miss Terrence sellers akin
She's got more power feminine
She knows the power incites fear
And its that fear that makes her wet
She's going to the tribe 8 show
Plenty of boychicks to choose from
Its at the Calyx of Isis
She'll find a bottom young and butch
She'll tell her "I won't hurt you much
Unless of course you want me to.."

'There's something wrong with the kids in my neighbourhood
They always listen to mom
They disregard civil disobedience
They'd rather do what they're told
They don't drink, or fuck, or fight
They sit home, and read, expand their minds
There's something wrong with the kinds in my cul de sac
Their always goin to church
They dress well and they're
Speaking articulate
They show each other respect
They're never late, don't smoke
or break rules
They eat right, study hard
They like school
There's something wrong with the kids in my neighbourhood'

Partly owned two-door house
Wooden white picket fence
Mother waits for father
In a backless dress
Hardly used diaphram
Put back into his case
A one way trip down memory lane
As she awaits

I don't wanna know
Cheat me
I don't wanna know

Children play in the yard
Mother stares at a wall
Father says he's gonna be back late
So don't wait up
About a quarter to three
Father stares at a wall
Stained thicker than water
Who's gonna clean it up?

I don't wanna know
Cheat me
I don't wanna know

Partly owned two-door house
Wooden white picket fence
Mother waits for father
In a backless dress
Hardly used diaphram
Put back into his case
A one way trip down memory lane
As she awaits

I don't wanna know
Cheat me
I don't wanna know
Cheat me
I don't wanna know
Cheat me
I don't wanna know
Cheat me

Mr. McCarthy killed the light
He didn't wake his lovely wife
He left the key inside the door
Woke on the wrong side of the bed
He can't remember what he said
But she sure knew what he'd done

Little choices in a little town
Maybe a little man is right to be afraid
Biblic moralization, identity frustration
Confused man cannot follow his heart

So he may be fucking her, but he's thinking about him

Catherine McKinnon does exist
She likes to call herself a feminist
A crusader who fights the pate
But what she really hates is sex
Erotic images oppress
And debase women as a whole

Simple solutions created
By black and white thinking
Too bad the world not work that way
Catherine should be busy porkin'
That dolt Andrea Dworkin
I think they need a good hard fuck

So she may be off her back, but she needs to get off ours

The little man sits alone
His sexuality's been cut in stone
He don't love her, she don't really care
Two victims of the black and white

. . .


I wouldn't walk 500 miles when I could fly coach
but almost anything
I wouldn't swim across the nile
Cause I could get amoebic disentary

I would do almost anything for you

Cause if there's anything you want
I'll probably get it
Just tell me what you need
I'll try not to forget it
You need someone to blame
I'll say I said it
whatever Didi wants she's gonna get it

I wouldn't climb the highest mountain
Could get a blister, but almost anything
I wouldn't throw coins in a fountain
I really need them to make a phone call

I call you collect whenever i could

Cause if there's anything you want
I'll probably get it
You tell me what you need
I'll try not to forget it
You need someone to blame
I'll say I said it
whatever Didi wants she's gonna get it

You were so beautiful, you were so beautiful to me
Were gonna try and get it right

I doesn't seem like you're a million
miles away, no. But maybe one or two
That doesn't mean, I never loved you
I love you long times, when you're on top of me

I love you as much as any one could

Cause if there's anything you want
I'll probly get it
You tell me what you need
I'll try not to forget it
You need someone to blame
I'll say I said it
whatever Didi wants she's gonna get it

Birds sing, there's not a cloud in the sky
Yeah August 8th is a beautiful day
I see a bunch of hippies crying
Yeah August 8th is a beautiful day
Like waking up from a real bad dream
sudddenly everything is ok
The storm has passed, the sun is shining
Yeah August 8th is a beautiful day
The air is sweet, the summer flowers bloomin'
Nowhere in sight is there anything grey
Feelings of joy are filling the street
Yeah August 8th is a beautiful day
Like waking up from a fucked dream
Suddenly everything's lookin' good
There's been no permanent damage done
Yeah August 8th came right when it should
What's goin' on, what's goin' on
Is something bummin' your scene
There's something wrong, there's something wrong
I'm not trying to be mean
Poor Jeff
Poor Little Timmy Turtle
Staying home on such a beautiful day.

He won the race, the judges conluded
He was the better man, He come from victory,
A hesitation, a one time show or place
His self would not allow, he had to be the best
He had denied his urges cause they would of
Drained his strength, that battle had been won
With side effects a few
He may have dropped the world
He could not have let us down
Dana I hope she's in better place

She aced the test a grade above the rest
She felt the curve
A 93% was not good enough to get her fix
She needs that perfect score
The endorphin rush she loved
It would opiate her
She had denied allegations of her loneliness
That battle had been won with scars still under wraps
She may have dropped the world
She would not let us down
Endorphin rush she loved
She may have dropped the world
