Armatage Shanks 

Stranded 
Lost inside myself 
My own worst friend 
My own closest enemy 

Branded 
Maladjusted 
Never trusted anyone 
Let alone myself 

I must insist 
On being a pessimist 
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind 

Elected 
The rejected 
I perfected the science of the idiot 
No meaning... 
And no healing 
Self loathing freak and introverted deviot 

I must insist 
On being a pessimist 
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind 

Stranded 
Lost inside myself 
My own worst friend 
My own closest enemy 

Elected 
The rejected 
I perfected the science of the idiot 

I must insist 
On being a pessimist 
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind 

I'm gettin' pissed 
I'm a worthless pessimist 
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind

Brat 

Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days 
They're getting over form their health 
Death is closing in and catching up 
As far as I can tell 

Got a plan of action and cold blood 
And it smells of defiance 
I'll just wait for Mom and Dad to die 
And get my inheritance 

Now I want more 
Cause I'm getting bored 
And I'm going nowhere fast 
I was once filled with doubt 
Now it's all figured out 
Nothing good can last 

Crows feet and rot are setting in 
And time is running out 
My parent's income interest rate 
Is gaining higher clout 

I'm a snot nosed slob 
Without a job 
And I know I damn well should 
Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days 
But my future's looking good 

Now I want more 
Cause I'm getting bored 
And I'm going nowhere fast 
I was once filled with doubt 
Now it's all figured out 
Nothing good can last 

Now I want more 
Cause I'm getting bored 
And I'm going nowhere fast 
I was once filled with doubt 
Now it's all figured out 
Nothing good can last

Stuck With Me 

I'm not part of your elite 
I'm just alright 
Class structure waving colors 
Bleeding from my throat 
Not subserviant to you I'm just alright 
Down classed by the powers that be 
Give me loss of hope 

Cast out 
Buried in a hole 
Struck down 
Forcing me to fall 
Destroyed 
Giving up the fight 
Well, I know I'm not alright 

What's my price and will you pay it if it's alright? 
Take it from my dignity 
Waste it until it's dead 
Throw me back into the gutter 
Cause it's alright 
Find another pleasure fucker 
Drag them down to hell 

Cast out 
Buried in a hole 
Struck down 
Forcing me to fall 
Destroyed 
Giving up the fight 
Well, I know I'm not alright 

1, 2, 3, 4 

Cast out 
Buried in a hole 
Struck down 
Forcing me to fall 
Destroyed 
Giving up the fight 
Well, I know I'm not alright

Geek Stink Breath 

I'm on a mission 
I made my decision 
To lead a path of self destruction 
A slow progression 
Killing my complexion 
And it's rotting out my teeth 

I'm on a roll 
No self control 
I'm blowing off steam with Meth Amphetamine 
Don't know what I want 
That's all that I've got 
And I'm picking scabs off my face 

Every hour my blood is turning sour 
And my pulse is beating out of time 
I found a treasure 
filled with sick pleasure 
And it sits on a thin white line 

I'm on a roll 
No self control 
I'm blowing off steam with Meth Amphetamine 
Don't know what I want 
That's all that I've got 
And I'm picking scabs off my face 

I'm on a mission 
I got no decision 
Like a cripple running the rat race 
Wish in one hand shit in the other 
And see which one gets filled first 

I'm on a roll 
No self control 
I'm blowing off steam with Meth Amphetamine 
Don't know what I want 
That's all that I've got 
And I'm picking scabs off my face

No Pride 

Well I am just a mutt 
And nowhere is my home 
Where dignity's a land mine 
In the school of lost hope 
I've panhandled for a life because 
I'm not afraid to beg 
Hand me down your lost and founds 
Of second hand regret 

You better swallow your pride 
Or you're gonna choke on it 
You better digest your values 
Because they turn to shit 

Honor's gonna knock you down 
Before your chance to stand up and fight 
I know I'm not the one 
I got no pride 

Sects of disconnection 
And traditions of lost faith 
No culture's worth a stream of piss 
Or a bullet in my face 
To hell with unity 
Separation's will kill us all 
Torn to shreds and disjointed 
Before the final fall 

You better swallow your pride 
Or you're gonna choke on it 
You better digest your values 
Because they turn to shit 

Honor's gonna knock you down 
Before your chance to stand up and fight 
I know I'm not the one 
I got no pride 

You better swallow your pride 
Or you're gonna choke on it 
You better digest your values 
Because they turn to shit 
Honor's gonna knock you down 

Before your chance to stand up and fight 
I know I'm not the one 
I got no pride 
Close your eyes and die 
I got no pride 
I got no pride

Bab's Uvula Who? 

I've got a knack for fucking everything up 
My temper flies and I get myself all wound up 
My fuse is short and my blood pressure's high 
I lose control and I get myself all wound up 

Tension mounts and I fly off the wall 
I self destruct and I get myself all wound up 
Petulance and irritation sets in 
I throw a tantrum and I get myself all wound up 

I lose myself and I'm all wound up 
Petulance and I'm all wound up 
I lose control and I'm all wound up 
I lose myself and I'm all wound up 

Chip on my shoulder and a leech on my back 
Stuck in a rut and I get myself all wound up 
Killed my composure and it will never come back 
Loss of control and I get myelf all wound up 
Blown out of proportion again 
My temper snaps and I get myself all wound up 
Spontaneous combustion panic attack 
I slipped a gear and I get myself all wound up 

I lose myself and I'm all wound up 
Petulance and I'm all wound up 
I lose control and I'm all wound up 
I lose myself and I'm all wound up 

I've got a knack for fucking everything up 
My temper flies and I get myself all wound up 
My fuse is short and my blood pressure's high 
I lose control and I get myself all wound up 
Tension mounts and I fly off the wall 
self destruct and I get myself all wound up 
Petulance and irritation sets in 
I throw a tantrum and I get myself all wound up 

I lose myself and I'm all wound up 
Petulance and I'm all wound up 
I lose control and I'm all wound up 
I lose myself and I'm all wound up

86 

What brings you around? 
Did you lose something the last time you were here? 
You'll never find it now 
It's buried deep with your identity 

So stand aside and let the next one pass 
Don't let the door kick you in the ass 

There's no return from 86 
There's no return from 86 
There's no return from 86 
Don't even try... 

Exit out the back 
And never show your head around again 
Purchase your ticket 
And quickly take the last train out of town 

So stand aside and let the next one pass 
Don't let the door kick you in the ass 

There's no return from 86 
There's no return from 86 
There's no return from 86 
Don't even try 

There's no return from 86 
There's no return from 86 
There's no return from 86 
Don't even try

Panic Song 

(Yeah, there R lyrics to this song...) 

Ready for a cheap escape 
On the brink of self destruction 
Widespread panic 
Broken glass inside my head 
Bleeding down these thoughts of 
Anguish 
Mass confusion 

The world is a sick machine 
Breeding a mass of shit 
With such a desolate conclusion 
Fill the void with, I don't care 

There's a plague inside of me 
Eating at my disposition 
Nothing's left 
Torn out of reality 
Into a state of no opinion 
Limp with hate 

The world is a sick machine 
Breeding a mass of shit 
With such a desolate conclusion 
Fill the void with, I don't care 

I wanna jump out 
I wanna jump out 
I wanna jump out 
I wanna jump out!

Stuart and the Ave 

Standing on the corner of Stuart and the Avenue 
Ripping up my transfer and a photograph of you 
You're a blur of my dead past and rotting existance 
As I stand laughing on the corner of insignificance 

Well, Destiny is dead 
In the hands of bad luck 
Before it might have made some sense 
But now it's all fucked up 

Seasons change as well as minds 
And I'm a two faced clown 
You're mommy's little nightmare 
Driving daddy's car around 
I'm beat down and half brain dead 
The long lost king of fools 
I may be dumb 
But I'm not stupid enough to stay with you 

Well, Destiny is dead 
In the hands of bad luck 
Before it might have made some sense 
But now it's all fucked up 

Well, Destiny is dead 
In the hands of bad luck 
Before it might have made some sense 
But now it's all fucked up 

We're all fucked up 
You're all fucked up

Brain Stew 

I'm having trouble trying to sleep 
I'm counting sheep but running out 
As time ticks by 
And still I try 
No rest for crosstops in my mind 

On my own - here we go 

My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed 
Dried up and bulging out my skull 
My mouth is dry 
My face is numb 
Fucked up and spun out in my room 

On my own - here we go 

My mind is set on overdrive 
The clock is laughing in my face 
A crooked spine 
My sense dulled 
Passed the point of delerium 

On my own... here we go 

My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed 
Dried up and bulging out my skull 
My mouth is dry 
My face is numb 
Fucked up and spun out in my room 

On my own - here we go

Jaded 

Somebody keep my balance 
I think I'm falling off 
Into a state of regression 
The expiration date 
Rapidly coming up 
It's leaving me behind to rank 

Always move forward 
Going "straight" will get you nowhere 
There is no progress 
Evolution killed it all 
I found my place in nowhere 

I'm taking one step sideways 
Leading with my crutch 
Got a fucked up equilibrium 
Count down from 9 to 5 
Hooray!  We're gonna die! 
Blessed into our extinction 

Always move forward 
Going "straight" will get you nowhere 
There is no progress 
Evolution killed it all 
I found my place in nowhere 

Always move forward 
Going "straight" will get you nowhere 
There is no progress 
Evolution killed it all 
I found my place in nowhere

Westbound Sign 

Boxed up 
All of her favorite things 
Sold the rest at a rainy yard sale 
Big plans and leaving friends and 
A westbound sign 
Weighed out 
Her choices on a scale 
Prevailing nothing made sense 
Just transportation and a 
Blank decision 

She's taking off 
Taking off... 
Taking off... 
Taking off... 

No time and no copping out 
She's burning daylight and petrol 
Blacked out the rearview mirror 
Heading westward on 
Strung out 
On confusion road 
And ten minute nervous breakdowns 
Xanex a beer for thought 
And she determined... 

She's taking off 
Taking off... 
Taking off... 
Taking off... 

Is it salvation? 
Or an escape from discontent? 
Will she find her name 
In the California cement? 
Punched out of the grind 
That punched her one too many times... 
Is tragedy 2000 miles away? 

She's taking off 
Taking off... 
Taking off... 
Taking off...

Tight Wad Hill 

Cheapskate on the hill 
A thrill seeker making deals 
Sugar city urchin wasting time 
Town of lunatics 
Begging for another fix 
Turning tricks for speedballs 
One more night 

Making your rounds once again 
Turning up empty handed 
Bumming a ride 
Burning daylight 
Last up at dawn... tight wad hill 

Drugstore hooligan 
Another white trash mannequin 
On display to rot up on the hill 
Living out a lie 
But having the time of his life 
Hating every minute of his existance 

Making your rounds once again 
Turning up empty handed 
Bumming a ride 
Burning daylight 
Last up at dawn... tight wad hill 

Making your rounds once again 
Turning up empty handed 
Bumming a ride 
Burning daylight 
Last up at dawn... tight wad hill

Walking Contradiction 

Do as I say not as I do because 
The shit so deep you can't run away 
I beg to differ on the contrary 
I agree with every word that you say 
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive 
My wallet's fat and so is my head 
Hit and run and then I'll hit you again 
I'm a smart ass but I'm playing dumb 

Standards set and broken all the time 
Control the chaos behind a gun 
Call it as I see it even if 
I was born deaf, blind and dumb 
Losers winning big on the lottery 
Rehab rejects still sniffing glue 
Constant refutation with myself 
I'm a vicitm of a catch 22 

I have no belief 
But I believe 
I'm a walking contradiction 
And I ain't got no right 

Do as I say not as I do because 
The shit so deep you can't run away 
I beg to differ on the contrary 
I agree with every word that you say 
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive 
My wallet's fat and so is my head 
Hit and run and then I'll hit you again 
I'm a smart ass but I'm playing dumb 

I have no belief 
But I believe 
I'm a walking contradiction 
And I ain't got no right 

I have no belief
