1.Everybody Knows I'm Guilty
Anyone could see the look in my eye
Like i got my cake and ate it
Only i know just how easy it was
To step into the escalator
And go down...down...down
Everybody knows i'm guilty
Down...down...down
Everybody knows about me
How could you believe such a plastic face
So studied and lacking in feeling
I know you'd believe me if i told you
I slipped and was sent reeling
Down...down...down
Everybody knows i'm guilty
Down...down...down
Everybody knows about me
Except you!
It's only a problem
If it's something you can't live without
It's only a problem
If you're filled up to your neck with doubt
It's never a problem
To lie and lie and lie about
Everyone saw the lines on my face
Like they were penciled in with charcoal
I even half-expected you to give me a shove
When i dived into that hole
And went down...down...down
Everybody knows i'm guilty
Down...down...down
Everybody knows about me
2.Temporary Husband
Her temporary husband said i better stay away
He said i don't care what you heard in the courtroom today
And eventhough i never really figured in her life
I can still makes things hurt for my soon-to-be ex-wife
Her temporary husband said
You can stop worrying when i'm dead
So now my girl and i we have to live out this lie
She doesn't want me hurt and i don't think i want to die
Cause i've seen the work he's done when someone gets in his way
Maybe we will get a chance to visit him in jail someday
Her temporary husband said
You can stop worrying when i'm dead
He wants us to believe his lie
But every night we pretend he's not alive
Her temporary husband said
You can start laughing when i'm dead
3.I Lost My Resolve
I lost my resolve
I lost my resolve
Something in my reasoning was flawed
Cause i'm trying not to
But i end up doing it all the same
I'm trying not to
But i end up doing it all the same
I made up my mind to leave you behind
But i'm back here to find
Why i made up my mind
I lost my resolve
I lost my resolve
Back to the bottom of the pit i crawl
Cause i'm trying not to
But i end up doing it all the same
I'm trying not to
But i end up doing it all the same
I tried not to see what you see in me
Cause if i believe i'll never leave
I lost my resolve
4.Mr And Mrs Indifference
I'm screaming in your ear right now
Trying to get a response
And i'm saying anything i can think of
I tell you i'm a nazi and i love the ku klux klan
I'm going to kill the president
Do you like my plan?
Mr and mrs indifference
Mr and mrs indifference
Mr and mrs indifference
I've got a sawed off shotgun and it's pointed at your heart
Far too long have you and your god been apart
But still that little smile is blandly plastered on your face
Maybe i should just resort to mace
Mr and mrs indifference
Mr and mrs indifference
Mr and mrs indifference
Keep on sleeping
Keep on sleeping
Just ignoring the weeping
Keep on sleeping
Mr and mrs indifference
Mr and mrs indifference
Mr and mrs indifference
Keep on sleeping
5.Shoot You Down
When did you decide everyone was out to get you?
Who on earth told you that lie?
You always want to shoot first and leave out questions all
together
And then drive off in your hearse
It's my turn to shoot you down
And watch you squirm and cry out loud
Shoot you down
Shoot you down
Shoot you down
You always think you fool the world noone can keep up with you
You think you're such a smartass girl
And i'm your comrade with two blind eyes
Well i think you've just been had
It's my turn to shoot you down
And watch you squirm and cry out loud
You pushed me and then pushed me some more
And started a war
And now i don't know what we're fighting for
So i'm showing myself the way to the door
It's my turn to shoot you down
And watch you squirm and cry out loud
It's my turn to shoot you down
Shoot you down
Shoot you down
6.Freak
The sun shone bright that morning
And my crutches they felt so strong
That i took off in a half-run to the club where i belonged
I hobbled up the doorway
And inserted my membership key
But when the door didn't open it was clear they changed their
minds about me
Freak! freak!
They shouted from their second story windows
Freak! freak!
Shouts from the basement below
The answer was 'no'
So i pooled all my assets
And committed a crime or two
Till i had enough money to pay for supplies and a crew
The boys they built me a palace
And when the job was through
I gave a little party but noone showed but you know who
Freak! freak!
They shouted from their second story windows
Freak! freak!
Shouts from the basement below
The answer was 'no'
Freak! freak!
They shouted from their second story windows
Freak! freak!
Shouts from the sewer below
The answer was 'no'
F r e a k!
F r e a k!
F r e a k!
F r e a k!
7.Ice Creme On Yesterday's Pie
You sit on me and i sit on you
Trying to compress each other's views
I leaned on you and you leaned on me
Trying to be what we can't be
Coming back to you after saying good-bye
Ice creme on yesterday's pie
It's not a question of being too shy
Ice creme on yesterday's pie
You call me up and i hang it up
I feel more and more corrupt
I also feel sure that there is no cure
Like the dead we must endure
Coming back to you after saying good-bye
Ice creme on yesterday's pie
Have you ever had something to hide?
Ice creme on yesterday's pie
Sometimes i'm self-destructive
But mostly i don't want to see the light
Sometimes i'm self-destructive
But mostly i'm afraid to see the light
If it's a joke then why don't i laugh?
More and more my flag's half-mast
Coming back to you after saying good-bye
Ice creme on yesterday's pie
Fireworks on the fifth of july
Ice creme on yesterday's pie
8.I Woke Up
I woke up in the middle of our dream
Sure of everything we'd done and seen
But the loving words had all been replaced
By that angry look on your handsome face
And you gave away nothing with your eyes
And i became one unexpressed sigh
I woke up to find nothing that was mine
I tried to remember what i dreamt
When we said and did everything we meant
But the more i tried the more it disappeared
Till the beauty turned into doubt and fear
I woke up to find nothing that was mine
And you gave away nothing
And you gave away nothing
And you gave away nothing with your eyes
As i watched you walk up and down my stairs
I had an inclination to stop breathing the air
But i don't have the guts to take my own life
I prefer escape and all that it implies
So now i'm going back to where we slept
Where peace becomes the promises we kept
And i'll never need a souvenir
Cause i'm never ever going away from here
I woke up to find nothing that was mine
I woke up to find nothing that was mine
9.We All Thought We'd Make It Big
We had always been musicians
Then we played the right gig
All the new york papers said
It's a cinch they'll make it big
We jumped in our econo-line
Went out west in record time
That promoter robbed us blind
Headed north without a dime
We all thought we'd make it big
High as kites and filthy rich
We all thought we'd make it big
Washing dishes paid for gas
Even played a catholic mass
Saved enough to make the drives
Still we waited for our prize
In vancouver we reigned supreme
They liked us better than their queen
The ferry to victoria
Had free hot dogs and cole slaw
We all thought we'd make it big
High as kites and filthy rich
We all thought we'd make it big
Failure never crossed our minds
Like the horse races
We kept on the blinders
The band split up in washington
Because the van broke down
Everyone hitch hiked home
Sold guitars and our clothes
Most of my family keeps on asking
They just want to hear me spout
Well i say it's pretty simple
I got chewed up and spit out
We all thought we'd make it big
High as kites and filthy rich
We all thought we'd make it big
Fatted calves and stuffed pigs
10.Mixed Up Kid
When i'm free she doesn't want me
When i'm spoken for guess who she adores
When i'm down and out she can live without
But when i'm employed then i'm her boy
She's a mixed up kid
She's a mixed up kid
Mixed up kid
Mixed up
Mixed up kid
I've given in so many times
I think i've used up all nine lives
And i need every single breath
To count for something and to make some sense
I'm a mixed up kid
I'm a mixed up kid
Mixed up kid
Mixed up
Mixed up kid
I'm a mixed up kid
I'm a mixed up kid
Mixed up kid
Mixed up
Mixed up kid
11.Rootless
One step in front of me is home
Rootless...rootless...rootless
Grass and concrete make me feel free and empty
Then i can forget everything that happened before today
When you threw me away you said you were gone to stay
Now i'm rootless...rootless...rootless
One step in front of me is home
Rootless...rootless...rootless
One step in front of me is home
So i'll stick out my thumb or maybe just run this highway down
And when it ends i'll keep walking until it ends again
And if i don't turn back that will just support the fact
That i'm rootless...rootless...rootless
One step in front of me is home
Rootless...rootless...rootless
One step in front of me is home
Rootless
I'm rootless
12.Day Of Days
I have seen the concrete broken in slabs all down my street
I have seen the grass wave only inside and inside
It will stay
It will stay
There are places no man can touch and these will be where i live
There are men that nothing can touch but i will not be one of
them
I will stay
I will stay
Till the day of days is seen
God stays silent but the junkie stays clean
I am old though i am young short of breath and long of tongue
This is not as i once planned hardly to speak yet take a stand
And stay
And stay
Till the day of days is seen
God stays silent but the junkie stays clean
Till the day of days is seen
God stays silent but the junkie stays clean
Day of days
