I make myself a clown and then it's funny You want to bring me down with hope of money I wrap myself in blue don't suffocate me I'm indebted to you I know you hate me Laundry detergent in the street Take a stroll to the master beat If he wants it let him eat He loves you and your sugar feet! I make myself a fool and then you love me I'm addicted to you and your gluttony You want me to be free and so you shoot me Don't ask me what I do it's dirty money Laundry Detergent in the street Take a stroll to the master beat If he wants it let him eat He loves you and your sugar feet!

Kiss u in the Punk I spend my nights sweating on another bar stage I sleep on the floor I'll never act my age You kiss me on the mouth I kiss you in the punk My heart is always racing as I lean in for more I'm so vulnerable baby my knees are on the floor You kiss me on the mouth I kiss u in the punk Ice cold in the morning Scratches in your eyes You kiss me on the mouth I kiss u in the punk I do it when I'm sober I do it when I'm drunk You kiss me on the mouth I kiss u in the punk Kiss me kiss me in the punk I have nothing more to give when the music is off I open my eyes and there she is Sweat dripping down her forehead And she looks at me Then she's looks at them and takes a bow

The son is obnoxious The sun is a gun He’s got to make it for everyone I’m questioning my mania Or sanity I’ve got a light bulb coming off my tongue I’ll probably kill it Or just an injury I roll the dice and it lands in the sky Do you have the guts Or the lungs To pose a question to your favorite guy? I’ve got chocolate devil horns (Hollywood forever) I’m gonna be in a movie (Hollywood forever) I burn a hole in history (And it’s deep man you can’t erase me) I’m gonna be in a movie Don’t bite the hand That feds you kid Just spit a finger back in his face He’s tall he’s a millionaire But his daughter is all over the place I’ll order sushi over beer I have chopsticks coming out my ear Today’s the best day of the month And it’s the best day of the YEHH I’ve got chocolate devil horns (Hollywood forever) I’m gonna be in a movie (Hollywood forever) I burn a hole in history (And it’s deep man you can’t erase me) I’m gonna be in a movie Me and Jane we got a good thing going She takes the trash out and she keeps things running My new role is overwhelming and fun I think this part could be the one I call home and I say “MUM! I’M GONNA BE IN A MOVIE!”

Apt. 15 02:24
We take refuge in Apt 15 We are the losers if you know what I mean Our time is wasted for as long as we need Night swimming and year round resort living We don't need your money Were happy we promise you Our future is timid But your future is timid too We take refuge in Apt 15 We are the losers if you know what I mean Our time is wasted for as long as we need Night swimming and year round resort living Our pockets are empty But our hearts always welcome you You can take your refuge in Apt 15 You can take refuge in Apt 15

I wanna dance I wanna dance with you A little dance A little dance for two And you can hold me like a living doll And my intuition tells me that you will I wanna walk I wanna walk with you A little walk A little walk for two And you can walk me to my legs give in By baby that’s what I call in heaven I wanna die I wanna die with you A little death In the living room And you can tell me that you wanna live But baby we got nothing left to give

Don't get your moral grounding from the Court Supreme Don't take it from your neighbor who calls the cops on your party Don't take it from the queen or any of her nobel narks Don't take it from the man who calls upon you from his car Take it from me, I love you (and I don't love nobody) I love you (and I hate everybody) I do Don't get your self worth from a picture that you take Don't get it from your possessions or the money that your make This culture will destroy you It's only interest is to profit Don't give your power to it It's like a drug, you must get off it! Take it from me, I love you (and I don't love nobody) I love you (and I hate everybody) I do Put my hand up to god and swear on these words I love you forget the noise Turn off the TV They never cared They never will But I do.

The earth is manically roaming the universe Looking for a better place to give birth The ice caps searching like sperm for there worth But they'll melt and it will be felt by the world The iphones about to explode there load to a million different pieces of illegible code And you'll be stressed cause the best of your online connects Will forget you ever meet and you ever had sex Take it easy The fall is all in your head It all ends in laughter It all ends the same The worlds gonna end The worlds gonna end The worlds gonna end In your name The sun is working overtime to get by She's trying to build a new life in the sky The river running wild boiling with pollution Even she knows were running out of solutions Don't forget the internets a threat to our freedom Collecting information on what we believe in They know more about me then I do myself Just keep being blind that’s the ticket to wealth

Daddy’s coming home There’s no need to be scared All the things you fear Won’t make it out here In the desert where we run We’re always having fun Put your shoulder to the wheel There’s nothing left to fear If I join the army will you think I'm a man? If I cut my hair off will you think I look bad? I forgot everything I learnt in school I really believe I'm not good enough for you I made you a promise that I will grow up If I don't keep it are you gonna give up I've never made peace with myself but you know I would build an army out of you I would let my hair grow long for you I'm a piece of shhh I'm hideous I wake up too late My hearts filled with hate Will you cut me slack I always look back You think I'm so cool (You think I'm so cool)

The Goose 03:08
I cut off your hands and feed them to the Goose For all of the times you called women loose After an evening of chasing her around and spitting on her chest Take a picture of a moment lose Of over sharing and of stained lip gloss And ears that don't listen or deserve to hear the words And sheets that wreck of last night's defeat I hurt (but not for you) I cry (but not for you) I yearn (but not for you) For her and for me too So sick of hearing how I don't belong Unworthy of love always in the wrong I don't expect much but it hurts being kicked to the curb You say your gonna love me I don't believe you I say your gonna leave me I don't believe you I hurt But not for you I cry But not for you I yearn But not for you For her and for me too

Slam my foot on the pedal in my stormy drain attire I can already hear the voices of everyone inside Annie saying don't interrupt her while she kneels by the cross and Daniel huffs cause it's not enough to be a hero we all forgot Oh baby go where the sun doesn't shine I feel my knee hit the water As I stumble onto the ground I wonder if I just lay here, how long till I'll be found? If Jesus were to appear now what would he say to me? I wait for him but he doesn't show He's got better places to be Oh baby go where the sun doesn't shine All your life, in the dark, where the sun doesn't shine

Inferno 02:30
Sex in the morning Kind day dawning You wear the light like a dress I want to make you forget all your stress Cigarettes after sex After sex, cigarettes Woo woo woo Sex in the shower Baby fear my power The water wraps around your neck Tell me honey did I make you forget Cigarettes after sex After sex, cigarettes Woo woo woo You never found your lighter so how did you put me on fire? baby won't you walk the wire and boil my blood with desire Tell me honey did I make you forget?

Beat Yr Name 02:16
Everyone my age is having a mental crisis From the unemployment and the petrol prices And now we're all depressed and I guess in debt And now I'm taking pills just to ease the stress Being in this country makes me uglier Like I am losing touch with who I was before And every word it weighs heavy on my shoulders The weight is getting heavier as I get older Everyone my age has got a stone to throw Guess I am the one they come to when their feeling low And we all just fight each other cause it's easier to hurt a person that you've never met before And who cares if I never have to see your face Or the way your body sinks when I beat your name Everyone my age thinks they'll be famous soon Guess that’s how you get by when you always lose I guess were activists just for showing our faces And telling everyone how were completely shameless Everyone my age thinks they'll be famous soon
