SKULL FROM MEXICO - Love is lost where love might die/And all I feel is hate inside/So now I wonder where you'll go/But how I get you, you won't know/So much lives where so much dies/By crossing lines you're costing lives/So now I walk on down that road/To take a skull in Mexico/I say yeah, don't let it go again/I say yeah, won't let it go again.../In the darkest raven's eye/Just like death falls from the sky/I will come like days will go/But in the desert heads will roll/So now I feel this hate inside/Will wash away just like the tide/So now I walk back down that road/With my skull from Mexico/I say yeah, don't let it go again/I say yeah, won't let it go again...

PRETTY SUCKER - Sometimes I wake up and I cannot see/The lies that lie between you and me/And I wonder how long it will be/Till you're gone/Heaven once was heaven sent/And now I wonder where heaven went/One more hell away from the spot where I went wrong again/But I don't wanna be forgiven, cos I seen how you've been living/And I don't wanna be forgiven, cos I seen how you've been living again/Sometimes even when I close my eyes/There's things inside I cannot hide/Every place you thought I'd be, well you were wrong/So now I wonder how we'll be/Now that there's no you and me/When these things between us finally just don't belong again/But I don't wanna be forgiven, cos I seen how you been living/And I don't wanna be forgiven, cos I seen how you been living again/Hey pretty sucker what's wrong with you, what do you got, what do you do/Hey pretty sucker what's wrong with you, what do you want, what you trying to prove.../So now that I'm finally free/And there is no more to want or need/No more place to go where I can get lost again/But then again when you call my name/I'll probably walk or run just the same/If only just to prove to you that you were wrong again/But I don't wanna be forgiven, cos I seen how you been living/And I don't wanna be forgiven, cos I seen how you been living again...

SOMEONE ELSE - Got my whiskey in my right left hand/They say I'm rotten to the core/Cos wrong is wrong and now the wrong is right/When the dealer's at the door/And then you wonder where you're friends have gone/When you're all alone today/But with that needle in you're fucking arm/No one here would want to stay/I wrote this song about anybody that I might meet/Inside someone's head within a week/Been here so long I don't think I found/What I would want from someone else/But in you're head I know you're dead/There's nothing here I'll tell to you/This song ain't about you my friend/It's about somebody else just like you/When your wanted face is wanted dead/You still won't wonder what it's for/Just remember that the wrong is right/When the dealer's at the door/This ain't about things I might forget/Or reasons why we never knew/This ain't about the things I guess/But rather detest this point of view/This song is not about yourself/It's about someone else I knew/You might think that it's about you/Cos this someone else is dead too...

DESOLATE OBSERVATION - Living easy filthy rich and dirty to the bone/The tightest noose the one that fits, nobody's going home/The furthest far's not far enough to save you from this fear/We come like vultures in the night, pull diamonds from your ear/Desolate observation - maybe I'm not even there/Desolate observation - don't even know if I care/Desolate observation - maybe I'm just unaware/Desolate observation - maybe I just don't care, I just don't care/Greedy is as greedy does like rats stuck in quagmire/The dirty dog that begs for meat gets fed bones by the liar/The creepy sweet from down beneath lays waste and never tires/Like flies on backs of horses whipped, the coming of empire/Desolate observation - maybe I'm not even there/Desolate observation - don't even know if I care/Desolate observation - maybe I'm just unaware/Desolate observation - maybe I just don't care, I just don't care/Grinning like a cheshire cat now living to expire/The only ones that matter now are choking on barb wire/I never wanted more than this, I'm drawn here by the fire/Picking through the ashes now and burning with desire/Desolate observation - maybe I'm not even there/Desolate observation - don't even know if I care/Desolate observation - maybe I'm just unaware/Desolate observation - maybe I just don't care, I just don't care

TRAPPED UNDER SLUDGE - Across the county line, gearjamming all the time/I'm up and down and round these goddamn winding roads yeah/And all the things we've said, I must apologize/You don't acknowledge while I never even wondered why/How will I live tomorrow, when I don't feel okay/How will I live tomorrow, when I don't live today.../And on the telephone, such shit is getting old/You tell me one thing babe I know you're lying once again/I try to tell you why it's hard to prophesize/As if to think that you could do the things that you were doing then/How will I live tomorrow, when I don't feel okay/How will I live tomorrow, when I don't live today.../Day by day we must've known it would end this way/Seems to be that we drift apart almost every day/But you and me well we're better now as we walk away/The things unsaid now left for dead here on this day/And then you tell me right and then you tell me wrong/And then you wonder why I maybe never come back home/And then you wonder when I must've walked away/I left you everything just so I wouldn't have to see your face...

DARKERTHAN - Don't talk about me cos I don't talk about you/My words sharp as knives in the night'll run you thru/Don't lie about me cos I don't lie about you/Just to find or justify the petty little things you do/You wanted what we wanted but they wanted the darker than you could be me.../Don't steal from me cos I don't steal from you/That's not the kind of thing solid motherfuckers do/Don't cheat on me cos I don't ever cheat you/The cost of life as you die is worth more than you once knew/You wanted what we wanted but they wanted the darker than you could be me.../Broken bones and bodies left for bleeding/I don't wanna make-the-fuck-believe in/I don't wanna see the things you're seeing/I don't wanna speak the things you're speaking/I don't wanna be the way you're being/I don't wanna feel the way you're feeling/Fuck with me and I'll leave ya fucking reeling/Cos I will bring you down

HELLBOUND - I deal in pain/With no satisfactory monetary gain/And now that we feel the same way, yeah/I bring it back to you, down in flames/Now that we're here once again/A few things I'll get off my chest/Cos now that you're running away, yeah/You're living for dying instead/As you go off on you're way/Try not to look where I may/Cos if you go shot down in flames/You're dying for living today/So now that we're here once again/A few things I'll get off my chest/No matter what many will say, yeah/It seems hell is my favorite place

MEGATHEFT - Instrumental

GIMME THE BOOZE - Saturday and I'm drunk again, I don't know when to say when/But I'm sick and tired of talking to you/Tonight's the night when I will punch out lights/And I don't even want to start the fight/As I'm smashing my way right through you/So sit down, shut up, fuck off, gimme the booze/I'm sick of talking shit and I got nothing to lose, yeah, yeah, yeah/So sit down, shut up, fuck off, sit down, shut up, fuck off/Sit down, shut up, fuck off, gimme the booze/Holy smoke when all I do is choke, you're in line for another poke/As I listen to this whining from you/And even now as I punch your face/I don't even want to break the place/As I'm smashing this place with you/So sit down, shut up, fuck off, gimme the booze/I'm sick of talking shit and I got nothing to lose, yeah, yeah, yeah/So sit down, shut up, fuck off, sit down, shut up, fuck off/ Sit down, shut up, fuck off, gimme the booze/Later night when we beat up punks, all you gotta do is line up drunks/As I listen to bullshit from you/Tonight's the night when I will punch out lights/And I don't even want to start the fight/As I'm smashing my way right through you/So sit down, shut up, fuck off, gimme the booze/I'm sick of talking shit and I got nothing to lose, yeah, yeah, yeah/So sit down, shut up, fuck off, sit down, shut up, fuck off/Sit down, shut up, fuck off, gimme the booze/So sit down, shut up, fuck off, sit down, shut up, fuck off, sit down, shut up, fuck off, gimme the booze
