- Track Name: Hair of the Dog
-
I woke up feeling fuzzy
I had hair of the dog
Late night through smoke and mirrors
Lord where did I go wrong?
I met a wicked little woman
She knew the ways of a witch
She started dancing around me in circles
And I started to shiver and twitch
(Chorus)
Well I'm feeling kinda funny
What'd you do
What'd you do to me honey?
She led me into the woods that night
Into a circle of stones
Started saying some kinda crazy spell
Wanted me to drink her magic potion
(Chorus)
Well I don't know if you know this baby but I've got something for you too
Why don't you give mine a little taste then tell me what you wanna do
Hair of the dog - Track Name: Basement Shooter
-
Well beware those dark alleys and them wild back rooms
They're worth more in trouble than the fun that they'll bring ya
Well if that's the kinda mischief that you're gravitating to
There's a chance you'll spill blood and die too soon
But you wanna get high, so high
Well your momma and you daddy I bet they told you
Why don't you be a nice boy and do what we tell you to do
Well your teachers and your preachers I bet they told you too
You ain't got no business doing what we don't tell you to do
But you wanna get high, so high
High, high, high, high
When you hear that hot lead come screaming after you
That's when its hardest to remember what they told you not to do
And when you're lying there helpless blood pouring out of you
That's when its easy to remember what they told you not to do
But you wanna get high, so high
High, high, high, high - Track Name: All We Export
-
All we export is cool
Oh yeah you want it, they know you do
Consumer culture has made us all fools
And they wanna sell it to you
(Chorus 1)
Do we know where the line is drawn?
Giant billboards obscuring the dawn
Plastic Jesus to which we pray
Well plastic ain't divine, it won't show us the way
All we export are pop culture tools
Manufactured and packaged and mailed direct to you
The latest add or the popular fad on MTV news
They wanna sell it to you
But are you gonna buy it?
(Chorus 2)
Do we know what the future brings?
Is this a swan song that we sing?
Great pacific garbage patch and toxic rain
Well how much more shit can this planet sustain?
All we export is war and pain
That and a few hundred million gallons of aforementioned acid rain
This culture's twisted, its fucked in the brain
I think Uncle Sam has plum gone insane
(Chorus 1)
Plastic piled up on plastic, more and more and more
You little plastic house and your tiny plastic cubicle and all you plastic friends
We're all gonna burn - Track Name: You | Devil | Me
-
Well I'm breathing, I'm sinking, into my chair
I try to move my arms and legs but I ain't going nowhere
You know it means so much to see
You and me and the Devil between
I'm laughing, I'm drinking when I'm with you
But when I'm alone I'm just thinking about all the things I've got to do
You know it means so much to see
You and me and the Devil between
Well I went to the office to lift this curse
I put in my time but it just made it worse
Now I'm back at the start, back at the start
Back at the start and it pulls me apart
Life's so hard but its not that hard, just to get along - Track Name: Trudy
-
Dirty Trudy, she wouldn't be true
Well she stole my heart and she left me blue
Little dirty Trudy, I don't care what you do
I'm gonna spend my life hunting after you
(Chorus)
Why'd ya
Why'd ya
Why'd ya do it to me? x2
Ooooohhh dirty Trudy
Why'd ya
Why'd ya
Why'd ya do it to me?
Dirty Trudy killed her only kin
Just for a laugh, where in the world do I begin?
She'll make you do things you think are your ideas
And the she'll sell you out whenever she can
(Chorus)
Dirty Trudy's got a wicked brain
She's got snake skin boots and a bag of cocaine
Vacuum suction and a razor blade eye
She's evil inside, yes she's evil inside
(Chorus)
Dirty Trudy fell in love with me
Tied to a brick from underneath the sea
I'll be buried beside her when they lay us down
After I strike up a match and watch her burn it down
(Chorus) - Track Name: Heatstroke
-
We showed up at the festival with some
We had more than two or three in our system
Why do we breathe so heavily?
I cannot see what's right in front of me
(Chorus)
x2
Not now not now I'm blacking out
Not now not now I'm falling down
Heatstroke in Austin for two
I looked at him down on the ground he looked much like I do
I asked him what the fuck is wrong with us two
He warned we should watch out for the sun
I can't feel my feet, no now I cannot run
(Chorus)
Oh why do I always seem to die in the strangest of times?
Oh why can't I ever seem to survive in the strangest of times? - Track Name: 13
-
You're taking without thinking
How many missteps have my be making?
I wonder, I wanna know
What kind of evil have you planned?
You've got the eye of a hurricane
Yeah you wicked little reptile
(Chorus)
You move and slither and I shiver
You ain't fooling nobody with that smile
I could see you coming for miles
You got the eye of the hurricane
You ain't fooling nobody with that smile
I could see you coming for miles
(Bridge)
Hey there momma, where you going?
You appear so soft and sweet by the things that you are showing
Hey there, sweet thing, how long has it been?
Since someone took you home and revved up your engine?
You've got the eye of a hurricane - Track Name: Porcelain Rooster
-
(Various hollers)
Make me come alive
Make me come alive
make me come alive, if only for tonight
(Various hollers)
x2
See me running
Feel me coming
Porcelain rooster, porcelain rooster - Track Name: Nature of Man
-
Men kill each other
Every chance they get
For any kind of reason
That they see fit
Some do it for glory
Others for control
Some just out of habit
To some its all that they know
(Chorus)
x4
Oooh la la la la la
Every man's got buttons
They can be easy to push
Women or whiskey, his pride or his gold
Anything he cares about too much
And for the same kind of reasons
They turn upon themselves
In a flash its over
Damned if it can be helped
(Chorus)
Man's a curious creature
A violent one it is true
Smart enough to build nuclear weapons
Dumb enough to want to, too
Me, I'm no different
I've got my colt .45
There's plenty of ways, but like they all say
No one gets out alive
(Chorus)
He's built armies and kingdoms
To satisfy the end by his means
if it's what he needs to get him what he wants
Then its off with the head of the queen
It's carved into his nature
Deeper than the soul
If he can't learn to control it
It'll swallow him whole
It'll swallow him whole x4
That's the nature of man
That's just the nature of man
That's just the nature of man, man, man, man, man, man, man, ooohhh - Track Name: Midnight
-
I do mostly what I want to
Although they say I should do more, they say
"Go out and join the corporation"
But then you'd never know who you're working for anyway
I like the midnight
And I rarely spend it in my bed
No it ain't a steady payday
It's push and pull for me to make my bread
Yeah, yeah, moving too slow 'cause we're living too fast - Track Name: Black China
- (instrumental)
