Lyrics:
Turn Off the News
Here's another transmission
with annoying information
we've got the latest dispatch
from a faraway nation
Lookout man!
here it comes again
another shitload
of misery and pain
You better turn off the news...
I saw my neighbours on the news today
they didn't look well
infact I think they were dead
here's a report
at the scene of the crime
whoa! we're really
living in a violent time
You better turn of the news...
This is reality speaking
we've got news on the air
sorry but we're all out
of good news today
here's another newsflash
you can do without
so put on your shades
and turn the music up loud
Dog
I bought a paper brought it home
made a plane made a boat
I can't read
A friend a mine gave me a cigarette
I tried to look cool had an asthma attack
I can't smoke
I've got a car I'm shifting gears
stomp the pedal but it doesn't move
I can't drive
I met a girl I took her home
I tried and tried she started to laugh
I can't...
No matter how I try
I just can't get it right
no matter how I try
I just mess up all the time
I can't do what I wanna do...
I'm working hard to be a man
I bought a dog to have a friend
Goddamn thing bit my leg
I need love
went to a party had a drink
ended up in the kitchen sink
I need help
No matter how I try
I just can't get it right
no matter how I try
I just mess up all the time
I can't do what I wanna do...
Gruesome Sunday Morning
It's a gruesome Sunday morning
and another heavy day
I'm looking in the mirror
my whites are turning red
it's another freaky Sunday
thanks to yesterday
there's something sticky on the floor
and the kitchen's in a mess
There's a body in the bathroom
which I can't identify
but I really like to know
who is that wasted guy?
I'm checking my apartment
it's not a pretty sight
my dog is in a coma
it must have been some night
Here comes another freaky day
and I'm feeling kinda strange
I guess I should have stayed in bed
This morning the devil
called me on the phone
I pretended to be someone else
and said "Sorry he's not home"
he said "uh huh! I'll call again"
and then he said "goodbye"
I wonder what he had to say?
I just can't figure it out
Here comes another freaky day
and I'm feeling kinda strange
I guess I should have stayed in bed
It's a beautiful Sunday morning
but I'm too drained to smile
getting up too early
really gets me down
my soul is somewhere else
oh! this is worse than Mondays
how can it be so cold
in the middle of the summer?
Here comes another freaky day...
Restless Again
I'm tired of sleeping on the floor
I'm tired of drinking all alone
I'm tired of being at home, home
I can't stay anymore
The walls are closing in
I've got bugs under my skin
it's really time to move on, on
the itch is getting too strong
I'm restless again...
Nobody calls me on the phone
and nothing much is going on
nothing happens at all, all
won't someone give me a call
I can't explain the way I feel
don't know exactly what I need
I don't know where to go, go
I'm going out of my mind
I'm restless again...
I can hear an inner call
telling me I have to go
I need something new, new
I have to move along
Baby can't you see?
I'm restless again...
Ain't Seen Nothing
We've been hearing all kinds of rumors
we've been hearing something's going on
a lot of talking but we ain't seen nothing at all
They're all talking 'bout this big thing coming
all the walls are about to fall
a lot of talking but we ain't seen nothing at all
Come on baby tell me again
please say that we're on our way
come on and tell me what I wanna know
come on and tell me that it's time to go
One step closer or was it was it one step further away?
one step closer or was it was it one step further away?
A lot of people they scream and shout
we don't know what it's all about
a lot of shouting but we ain't seen nothing at all
A lot of rumors in the air tonight
get ready for the big surprise
they say we're leaving but
we ain't seen nothing at all
Come on baby tell me again
please say that we're on our way
come on and tell me what I wanna know
come on and tell me that it's time to go
One step closer or was it was it one step further away?
one step closer or was it was it one step further away?
Ain't seen nothing, nothing at all...
Hitch-hike to Caudine Forks
I was hanging around looking for fun
trying so hard to find me some
I was wasting my time 'til I met this guy
he said "Hey man do you need a ride?"
I got in to his car he said "Hello I'm God
I can take you anywhere you want
where do you wanna go?" I said "I don't know"
he said "Ever been to Caudine Forks?"
I took a ride on the fatal highway
I took a ride on the wrong highway
"In a car doin' 145
is there a better place to be?
we can go anywhere do anything" he said
"It doesn't matter much to me"
I'm not sure he's got a license
he's a really bad driver
this is going much too fast
lights are flashing by like tracers through the night
I took a ride on the fatal highway
I took a ride on the wrong highway...
Well it wasn't such fun to ride with number one
he might be The Lord but he can't drive a Ford
I keep looking through the window
there's nothing to see
we ain't talking much God and me
But I get shivers down my spine
when he cracks a smile
"There's no turning back this time
we're going much too fast for that
so shut up and relax"
I took a ride on the fatal highway
I took a ride on the wrong highway...
World
Is it time for that big operation?
Wow! A new toy can I play?
I'll buy that for a dollar
We'll be back in a moment

Machine Gun Justice (A Love Song)
What can I say what can I do?
I can't let you go
I'm not the same guy anymore
you don't believe me but it's true
every single word
I would do all of this for you
You're on my mind
all of the time
machine gun justice
it's gonna bring you back to me
machine gun justice
I won't stop for anything...
I'll make some stew with my brain
and serve it as a meal
If it would bring you back to me
I'd drain the cup of misery
all down to the dregs
I'm going crazy can't you see?
You're on my mind
all of the time
machine gun justice
it's gonna bring you back to me
machine gun justice
I won't stop for anything...
I would mutilate myself
if you want me to
and mail the pieces back to you
you just tell me what to do
and I'll give you my heart
my kidneys and my liver too
You're on my mind
all of the time
machine gun justice
it's gonna bring you back to me
machine gun justice
I won't stop for anything...
No Reason
Why should I get a job
and try to set things right?
why should I settle down
when there's a party on tonight
I don't care about my body
why should I keep in shape?
I've got a real good reason
for being just who I am
Can't you see what's going on?
Is there a reason to believe?
it's getting harder all the time
when the world is full of clowns
and everything is coming down
What's the point of going straight?
tell me why I should behave
when preachers turn to sin
and politicians turn to crime
Why don't you take a look around?
No reason, no reason to be sane today
no reason, no reason
can't you see what's going on?
No reason, no reason to be sane today
no reason, no reason at all
What's the point of growing up?
why should I shut my mouth?
when killers become heroes
and truth is turning into lies
I don't care about the world
you can have it if you want
I'd rather be a dreamer
with a six-pack getting drunk
Why don't you take a look around?
No reason, no reason to be sane today
no reason, no reason...

Rise Again
It's been going on for ages
and somehow it never changes
read the signs through history
remember everything you see
Think twice before you act
cause you're gonna start a chain reaction
you gotta learn from your mistakes
it's gonna hit you hard someday
I don't know how I don't know when
but it will always rise again
You'd better watch out where you're going
you'd better think about what you're doing
we're all affected by the past
you can't deny it it's a matter of fact
Think twice before you act
cause you're gonna start a chain reaction
you gotta learn from your mistakes
it's gonna hit you hard someday
I don't know how I don't know when
but it will always rise again...
You'd better watch out where you're going
you'd better think about what you're doing
we're all affected by the past
you can't deny it it's a matter of fact
I don't know how I don't know when
but it will always rise again...
Baby Doc Holiday
In my plane high up above
I am thinking what did I do wrong?
people just don't understand
I bet they're gonna miss me when I'm gone
it's not easy at the top
the peasants are complaining all the time
if you make a small mistake
50.000 people demonstrate
All they think about is money
while our country's going down the drain
I only took what I required
now I'm on a Baby Doc holiday
I only brought them law and order
and this is how they pay me back
but I've got everything I need
got some money in a foreign bank
It's hard to please everybody
a few got lost along the way
well if that's the way they want it
I'll go for a Baby Doc holiday...
Things were getting out of hand
I was lucky to get out alive
I had to leave my Cadillacs
the art collection and my favourite wife
got a place in southern France
as long as you've got money you've got friends
they haven't seen the last of me
I'll be back and I will not forget
Goodbye I'm leaving for a while now
but I'll be back again some day
for anyone who tries to reach me
I'm on a Baby Doc holiday
