    INS

    I cannot answer you in all honesty
    Would I feel sorry if you fell because of me
    Would I feel anything if you fell in front of me

    Know this my love
    I don't feel real in a sense you do

    Would you feel sorry if I fell because of you
    Would you feel anything if I fell in front of you

    12 Second Window

    Acknowledge failure
    The 12 second window
    Closes

    Soldier onwards
    Ensure the smoke
    Will never clear

    Close the open doors behind you
    No one
    Will know
    They were ever ajar

    You walk out
    Slightly downtrodden
    Your pockets
    Lined
    With platinum

    While history debates you
    You fly off
    With seventy virgins

    There is power power wonderworking power
    In the blood
    OF THE THREE THOUSAND LAMBS

    7 Years

    7 years 7 years
    One would think
    There would be more

    Coke
    Fly ash

    No better world
    No better way
    Just the one
    That is today

    Youth and anger
    Repression and age

    Clinging fast to the rug
    Vodka gets out blood
    7 years was enough
    To've spun your wheels was enough

    30 Years

    So this is what you're doing
    This is what you choose
    Everyday you punch in
    Is everyday you lose

    Take the money
    Spend it on gasoline
    Take the money
    Spend it on booze
    Take the money
    Send it to Africa
    Take the money
    Buy some new shoes

    And you say... thirty years
    And you say... thirty more

    Cry me a river
    Because you can't find love
    Cry me an ocean
    You think you don't get fucked?

    Take your bike
    Climb up the stairs
    Hang yourself
    Upside down by the short hairs
    Take the money
    Or save every dime
    Save the world
    One sperm at a time

    And you say... thirty years
    And you say... thirty more

    You're shaking hard now
    You're shaking violently
    But nobody notices
    Not a soul to see

    OH POOR POOR YOU
    OH SAD SAD YOU

    Peanut

    Who wants to be
    At the back of a sinking ship
    Screaming 'I told you so!'

    Wouldn't you rather be
    In the peanut gallery
    Joining in the chorus
    'We gave it our best shot'
    We sink or swim together

    LS

    Sing to me
    Of your brushes
    With death's ugly head
    Sing to me
    Take the edge off
    The rest of the day

    Stay with me
    One last time
    Stay with me
    While I still feel this way

    Sickness seems
    Bring the warmth straight
    To my frigid arms
    Sympathy sustains hiding
    Of my blackened heart

    If I awake
    To find you
    Still breathing
    Then I'll know
    I have another day
    If you awake
    To find me
    Still breathing
    Then you might just have
    To kill me

    But how much longer do you have
    How much longer do we have
    How much longer can I stand

    The Moldova Defense

    I don't have to see them
    I don't have to know where they've been
    I don't have to like them
    I don't have to beat them myself

    They come through the wires
    Millions of miles
    Come through the channels
    From Moldova
    Through Tanzania
    Seasoned in the indies
    Sold back into slavery

    Am I complicit?
    Am I responsible?
    Make purchase discreetly!
    Are you wanting lapdance now?

    I don't have to see them
    I don't have to buy them a drink
    I don't have to need them
    I don't have to tell them they're pretty

    They come through the wires
    Millions of miles
    Come through the channels
    From Moldova
    Through California
    Seasoned in the indies
    Sold back into slavery

    Am I complicit?
    Am I responsible?
    Do I need a Pepsi?
    Do I need some McDonald's?
