No More Mr. Nice Guy

I used to be such a sweet, sweet thing
'Til they got a hold of me

I opened doors for little old ladies

I helped the blind to see 

I got no friends 'cause they read the papers
They can't be seen with me

And I'm gettin' shot down

And I'm feeling mean

No more Mister nice guy
No more Mister clean

No more Mister nice guy

They say he's sick, he's obscene

My dog bit me on the leg today
My cat clawed my eye

My mom's been thrown out of the society circle

My dad's had to hide

I went to church incognito

And everybody rose, the reverend Smith

He recognized me

Punched me in the nose

No more Mister nice guy
No more Mister clean

No more Mister nice guy

They say he's sick, he's obscene

 

Breakpoint

Make up the rules for me to live by
Rules you break and just let it slide

You try and find you inside of me

Be as great as you want me to be

Hypocrite, the word that fits

Do as you say

Not as you do 

You're pushing me to a breakpoint
Pushing me, push, push me to a breakpoint

Self esteem you seem to lack
Point the finger

There's three pointing back

Control's the illusion with all good intent

Bad times are contagious

You laugh and infect

Criticist, the word that fits

Put me down to lift you up

You're pushing me to a breakpoint
Pushing me, push, push me to a breakpoint

Watching pain is your only pleasure
Sick fascination for someone's disaster

Self suffering since you were born

Mess with the bull and you'll get the horn

Misery, the word that fits

Can't seem to smile 'till someone's sad

You're pushing me to a breakpoint
You're pushing me, push, push me

Push, push, push me to a breakpoint

In my opinions as a professional I recommend
We straight-jacket the son-of-a-bitch

Lock him in a rubber room

Sedate him, heavily

And when he wakes up,

If he wakes up, we'll see

If he can be a nice boy

Well... I don't know... It's gonna hurt me
More that it's gonna hurt him

Let's do it!

You push me to a breakpoint, breakpoint
Push me to a breakpoint, breakpoint

Don't push me, you piece of shit!

 

Go To Hell

I'm not going to wake up today
They've pulled my plug the picture fades

And as my body decays mold begins to fill my grave

The smell of death permeates the silk within my coffin lays

Go to hell 

As they bury me now six feet there my body lies
Still feel like I'm giong down I hear a distant wailing cry

God something must've gone wrong

And much too late I realize

Go to hell

I saw my funeral that day
I know who didn't show to mourn

My judgement was life in hell

Pillars of pain and thorns

My only friend's the goat

With 666 between his horns

Go to hell

Place all your trust here in me
Rest assured these things I know

And as Charon sails the sea

Your journey too shall end below

Ah yes you're all sitting ducks

It's true you reap what you sow

Go to hell

Now I lay me down to sleep
Blah, blah, blah my soul to keep

If I die before I wake

I'll go to hell for heaven's sake

 

Angry Again

The more of you that I inspect
The more of me I see reflect

The more I try to read your lips

The more the mask you're wearing rips 

But when I seek out your voice
My ears are overcome with noise

You show and tell with greatest ease

Raving impossibilities

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke

Enforce a mental overload

Angry again, angry again, angry ow

And when the story takes a twist
If folds like a contortionist

Slight of hand and quick exchange

The old tricks have been rearranged

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke

Enforce a mental overload

Angry again, angry again, angry

The searing of the sinew
My body fights for air

The ripping of the tissue

My lungs begin to tear

Gravity's got my bones

It pulls my flesh away

The steam finally dissipates
I make out my sweaty face

Association that I choose
Game I inevitably lose

Governed by laws set up by me

Fracture it's jaw to let me be

A cut-out cardboard condo maze

Filled with an insubordinate race

Irrational youths stop to stare

As music rubber hosed the air

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke

Enforce a mental overload

Angry again, angry again, angry again

And again and again, again

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke

Enforce a mental overload

Angry again, angry again, angry ow

 

99 Ways to Die

If I see the morning hours
I'll have one more yesterday

Take life from tomorrow

Cause I've burned out my today 

If I get up to the top I know
I'll just go back downhill

Gotta' terminal future

And it's time to write my will

Down another glass of courage
And a shot of thorazine

We're not ready to see you yet
99 ways to die

We're not ready to see you yet

Gotta' short between the earphones
Wringing my hands in dismay

A more efficient maniac

With two feet in the grave

Ain't got no last words to say
Yellow streak right up my spine

The gun in my mouth was real

And the taste blew my mind

In a black tie and straight jacket
Man I'm gonna try again

Chorus repeat

Demitasse of arsenic
Try on this tie

Never mind the tree

There is only death and danger
In the sockets of my eyes

A playground of illusion

No one plays they only die

There's a prison in my mind
And the bars are gonna break

I'm as mad as a hatter

And strung out just the same

Taunting rigor mortis
I feel it draw me in

 

Paranoid

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
people think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time

All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy

Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify 

Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah

I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me us so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late 

 

Diadems

Sacriledge and blasphemy
Sets the stage today

The more insatiable the sex

The more swelled our tongues became As pre-historic as it seems

This is now, today

As pre-historic as it seems

This is now

Talkin' 'bout no vision
Talkin' 'bout no dream

The Harlot puddles for her lies

From where she speaks

I look above and see
Entrails in the sky

This song ain't over 'til the

Fat lady dies

One man rules the earth
And rides the seven-headed beast

Ten diadems, to rule them all, to crown them all

The world, religion at his feet

Dreams are told of dreams of old
This day will surely come

So, run my child and hide your face

Once you've been marked it's finished, done

You'll become one
You're mine

You're one

I saw a new earth today
I saw a former pass away

I saw a new earth today

I saw a former pass away

Vengence is mine
Vengence is mine

The Netherworld and Sheol

Are never satisfied

So the eyes of Man are

Never sat-is-fied

I saw a new Earth today
I saw a former pass away

 

Problems

Too many problems, oh why am I here?
I need to be me, 'cause you're all to clear

And I can see there's something wrong with you

Oh, what do you expect me to do?

At least I gotta know what I wanna be

Don't come to me if you need pity

Are you lonely, you got no-one

You got your body in suspension

That's a problem, problem, problem

The problem is you 

Eat your heart out on a plastic tray
You don't do what you want and you fade away

You work for me, you're working nine-to-five

It's too much fun of being alive

I'm using my feet for my human machine

You work for me, living for the screen

Are you lonely, all needs catered

You got your brains dehydrated

Problem, problem, problem, the problem is you
Oh what what you gonna do, problem, problem

Problem, problem, problem, the problem is you

Well, what you gonna do with your problem

The problem is you, problem

I ain't death trip, but I ain't automatic
You work for me, just stay ecstatic

Don't you give me any orders

To people like me, there is no order

Bet you thought you had it all worked out
Bet you thought you knew what I was about

Bet you thought you'd solved all your problems

But you are the problem

Problem, problem, problem, the problem is you
Oh, what you gonna do with your problem?

I'll leave it up to you, oh problem

The problem is you, you got a problem

Oh what you gonna do?

They know a doctor, gonna take you away

Thay take you away and they throw away the key

They don't want you and they don't want me

You got a problem the problem is you

Problem, well, what you gonna do?

Problem, have you got a problem?

Problem, well you got a problem

Problem (x17)
