Born to Kill 03:45
We were born alone We were born with dead souls We were born to burn our homes We were born alone Live to die another day All the slobs have come to mate Watch the ocean melt All we are is born to kill We have trash to fill We have blood to spill We have waste that's breeding The dirt and hills we own Live to die another day All the slobs have come to mate Watch the ocean melt All we are is born to kill Reinstate the guillotine Watch the blade crash down Bleed the pigs who torched the Earth Decapitate the crown We're drowning Live to die another day All the slobs have come to mate Rot away and wilt All we are is born to kill

Skirt II 02:07
Hang a CEO Reclaim the wealth Hope I die before I kill myself No borders No pollution Burn the constitution This is how you dance to Skirt tonight Here's our mantra Give us water Lead the bigots to the slaughter We are the masses The opposition Put all cops in prison Beat on Nazis with a baseball bat I'd rather be scum than a fascist rat This is how you dance to Skirt tonight Here's our mantra Give us water Lead the bigots to the slaughter

I Was Afraid 02:48
I didn't want to go to work today I know that's no tragedy But I didn't want to go to work And there is no way you can make me I was afraid I never wanna leave the house no more I don't want to die in a nuclear war I've got a noodle for a spine I'm a straight, white Frankenstein I was afraid I'll live her till I'm 93 I don't want to die in a shooting spree I don't wanna go and see the world Cause it's a pretty shitty world And I'm a slave to my money It makes me feel less lonely We're never gonna change at all I can't stop watching TV I am afraid.

Black market bugs Feed my empire Pulsing through the dead of night Here to torch the liars Stoned dumb and ugly Cut my throat with glass Make my money with the devil's work This city is cloaked in trash Filling up the streets Climbing up your walls Black market bugs Black market bugs On the way home, we saw a house on fire I'm an insect man I'm an insect man I'm a fried out splendor fuck Doing what I can I'm the ghost of spiders I'm your family's tomb I'll be around at the end of nothing Hiding in your room I'm an insect man I'm a bug-eyed man I'm a violent empty hole I'm an insect man On the way home, we saw a house on fire In the city, no one knows you're alive.

Worst Life 01:54
I want more I need more I have mine I need yours Give me a taste Of what I crave Don't I deserve? Don't want to wait I need more All around me the world decays I'm the reason for it's shape Cities smell like piss and shit Oil, blood, and corpse rot What I want what I need Gimmie gimmie gimmie gimmie gimmie gimmie gimmie The worst life Is yet to come You have some I want some I need more Greedy pig White devil Praise god He's on the level I wanr more Everyone has gone insane Riding on my gravy train Country of the living dead Screen face, brain dead, full of lead What I want what I need Gimmie gimmie gimmie gimmie gimmie gimmie gimmie Watching as the sun goes down Blanketed in rust Time to let it go Time to let it go

Nobody lives here Wake to a knock on the front door Get up off the dirty subfloor Head ringing as they knock again some more I chose this place cause nobody lives here At the peephole I take a peek outside Oblivious Jehovah's Witnesses I spy Open the door and asking surprised Don't you know that nobody lives here We are deep in the last days they say The new light is the only way to be saved With a grin I invite them into the fray Now I'm laughing cause nobody leaves here Step aside and close the door behind Hear them gasp as they see the black mass rise Entranced by the Master's red eyes Should have known that nobody lives here In the middle of the night Satan calls my name Here to ring the bell Drag me back to Hell Who are you? Who are you? Who are you? Who am I? Nobody lives here.

Black Water 08:18
Before you The Earth Stretched away In reverse The blessing The curse And the grail They haul you To your feet And drag you to the Queen Victim of Byzantine Subterfuge Attuned to privation Thirst and Starvation Embrace Resignation And ennui Sick water The daughter The King And the slaughter The taste is Forged ore Melted into sludge Interpreting chaos We are what we make us Returning to slay us By our deeds Black water Open the vein It has been ordained The weak Will feed The strong
