climbing the walls

not much fun being alive - blood pressure 200 over 135 - my teeth are clenched and my eyes are wide - i keep it all bottled up inside - i'm climbing the walls - i can't escape my certain fate - my mind is full of bile and hate - it's time that i retaliate - and blow off steam before it's too late - i'm climbing the walls - i can't relax and i won't sit still - i can't smoke drink or take no pills - i can't find fun or no cheap thrills - if this doesn't stop i'm gonna kill - i'm climbing the walls

easy mark

guess this is all a bad dream - the world can't be as bad as it seems - i struggle on from day to day - nothing to save , just bills to pay - 'cause i'm an easy mark - the corporations are corrupted - they take it all and give us nothing - they give us peanuts for our pay and say we deserve to live this way because we're easy marks - i tell you all - it isn't much fun , but you know i'm not the only one that's had to take a cold slap in the face - the political rats are trying to win the race - because we're easy marks - 'cause i'm an easy mark and you're an easy mark - we're all just easy marks... so you go to work every day and work like a rat in a cage and come home with nothing to say - it's the same thing day after day - the american dream is the leading cause of death for men , women , children , animals , the earth , the water , the air , and our souls - everything that is natural is poisoned and sold back to us as good - we're all such easy marks

he wears too much cologne - and he still lives at home - he drives a firebird trans-am - he's a real ladies man - he's a wild and crazy guy - won't you at least give him a try? - he's a real cool jerk - he just loves to flirt - just watch him work - he's got a rug on his chest - and he always looks his best - he's got so much sex appeal - wouldn't you love to cop a feel? - and he always sets the pace - until you slap him in the face - you might have noticed him at your school - oh he's always acting so cool - he'll buy you anything you want - slap you around just for fun - and if you try to leave him, hon - he'll just go out and buy a gun - so just shut-up and be content - and there won't be an arguement - yeah, he's real dirt - he's a real cool jerk

it's a beautiful day but i don't wanna go outside - the birds are singing , the flowers are blooming , the lovers are in the park , the old lady smiles at the sight of it all - help me because i can't help myself - it's not the real me, i feel like someone else - if you could see me as i can see myself.... i don't want to go outside....

dark house up on the hill - have you heard what's going on around there? - stained with the blood they've spilled - (rumors of what's going on around there) - keep your children away - (you don't know what's going on around there) - this is no place to play - (nothing but evil goes on around there - black cats, pentagrams , tarot cards , pyramids , ouiji boards , animal skins) - don't you dare go up there - the paintings on the walls - tell a tale of what goes on around there - (colorful but dark, like the people they have living up there) - the howling of the dogs - tell a tale of what goes on around there - they're weird - they're different - (they're wrong - nothing but evil goes on around there) - the police busted down the door to try to stop "what's going on around there" - (you know what they're looking for) - no matter what's going on around there, they threw all the people in jail to try to stop "what's going on around there" , and now they're making up lies to try to prove "what's going on around there" (it all adds up - they're satan's friends)

here i am the primal beast - got all this tension just to be released - i feel just like a nuclear man - living my life in this garbage can - i look at myself and my brother ape - nowhere to hide , no where to escape - my last resort is to copulate - i've lost so much time i have to compensate - so i say mama please give your hand - lead me out of this frying pan - the hour glass has run out of sand - so lead me away from this modern land - here i sit like a government tool - i'll only survive by playing the fool - all alone , got no wife by my side - your kids are in school but i still wanna get high - and sit at home with my belly full - not worried about my neighbor 'cause he's got a new pool - just a victim of the master scheme - a boy and his dog - the american dream? - help me

laughter - crying - happiness - sorrow-i won't make it make it to tomorrow
trust - paranoia - all corruption - it's a sign , it's all to much and...
reality - fantasy - stillness - rambunction - i explode from all the suction
purity - foulness - creation - destruction - i get so i just can't function...
schizophrenia blues - i got nothing to lose
my mind is full of junk !!!
