Let's talk about a criminal procedure Throw out the idea of illegal seizure Put a rope around somebody's neck Let's hold some bastard up for example Take his blood and a urine sample Feed him garbage and make him pick up the check Chorus Well, here it...

The saddest animal in this zoo Is not the lion the tiger or The pink-ass baboon It's not the giant centipede or The vampire bat Not the black mambo or the feral cat Yeah there's one creature Much worse of course Yeah the baddest one he is the high hors...

As long as you give me my pay You'll get your moneys worth I'll be there 8 hours a day I won't hide and I won't shirk I got a way with a hammer and a nail A dovetail and a tongue and groove Put up a wall in half a day Guarantee it'll never move CHORUS...

There was smoke up to my eyeballs Poison burned my throat But i said i'd keep on going When everyone said don't With my bony-chested t-shirt Some stolen guitar licks Navigating by dead reckoning In 1976 And when the mighty chains of darkness...

I don't know what's behind that veil I ask questions to no avail I don't know why there's empty shelves Empty books and silent bells I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know why it's not enough To feel moments of mighty lo...

Ohh-oh-oh-oh, let me tell you now, uh-huh, uh-uh-uh When I had you to myself I didn't want you around Those pretty faces always make me stand up in a crowd Someone picked you from the bunch, and that was all it took And now it's much too late for me to ta...

Two young girls were swept down the culverts in the rain St. Petersburg was flooded again I reached my hand out for them but I watched them slip away And I had to get up to Jacksonville that day I don't need anyone to remind me I don't get the big picture...

I'm not a page in history not something that bold I'm not the greatest mystery that was ever told I may not be who you wanna spend a whole life with alone I'm not that fascinating with features carved like stone But I'll tell you everything before you run...

I hear the whole East Coast is socked in By a strong Northeaster's And it doesn't look like it's gonna end real soon You've been stuck up there in the mountains While I been swannin' around the West Coast But I'll swear I'm gonna make it back there soon,...

I'm in a trailer with some white trash. They're drinkin' beer and smokin' grass There's a dumb chick with peroxide hair. She's got Axl Rose tattooed on her ass They're holding me up like a trophy in a hall Like a deer skin or a bear's head they bought f...

I got my dunce's cap and cardboard sword And I'm droolin' as you talk to me You say I should be in a mental ward But That might seem like home to me Cos I don't get it I don't understand And I think love's overrated Why can't a woman be more like a man...

Speak to me baby across this room I never noticed silence like this before Cry for me baby I'm empty too If I could pull myself up off the floor Sometimes you play around and I don't know what your game is Sometimes it hurts so bad I don't know where t...

It's my party but I won't cry It's my funeral but I won't die It's my fiction but I won't lie It's my party but I won't cry I don't have the power to be superman And I don't have the smarts to understand Why you walked out and Left me for another man...
