Kind Girl
04:16

|
She's the kind of girl who isn't very kind
Nothing much to blow your mind
or anything else
The kind of girl who treats you bad
Only seems to make you sad
only thinking of herself
You're not very kind, girl
Not right in the mind, girl
She don't wanna talk about it
She never wants to talk about it
Don't stare at her you'll turn to stone
she only smiles when she's in the zone
and starts to moan
She only loves me for my bedroom face
a trace of mace in every kiss she makes
You're the kind of girl who can turn off love
Flicking your switch back and forth off and on and on
I could buy you flowers or a big gold bar
but you will find me at the latter with a lager and my scars

Mandy Rinn

Mandy Rinn had a grin like a scarecrow
She liked to hang out at the park
and when I met her she had an evil little shadow
told me to stay there til dark
Everything went according to plan
Til the moon lit up the place
She laughed a little, thrust her hand into her pocket
and pushed a blade across my face
-----
Hey Mandy
It would be dandy
if you could stop beating me blue
Hey Mandy
Unhand me
So I can run away from you
----
I was scared, I was petrified
She had me white and weak
I never had much luck with the girls
Forever on a losing streak
She looked at me so wickedly
Told me to drive her home
I'm always scared of what will happen
But I don't like to be alone

Let Em Go
04:36
|

|
The weatherman predicts sunny skies
But there's rain clouds sailing in
I can feel the changes in the atmosphere
So I batton down the hatches again
You see they want you to fail right from the start
They love to see you squirm
But they shut up quick when you stare them down
you make them lose their nerve
let em go
let em go
let em go
let em go
And there's people you'll have to face
there's people you'll want to hate
People won't hesitate
to steal everything you got
And people don't care you're dead
lying on your final bed
rather inflate their heads
And make out like it was your fault

Black Eyes, White Skin
04:26
|
|||
|
She pierced herself with a bobby pin
Stuck the tip in a fire then she rammed it in
She winced a little, she was brittle on the inside
Had some feelings that were peeling that she tried to hide
She rebelled against her family traditions
She held her mind in a constant suspension
She couldn't love she only shoved it out of her mind
Boys were suspicious, she was vicious, she was unkind
She hid a bottle under her bed
She took vacations when she used it in her own head
Nobody knew it she never blew it, she was silent
Slightly off kilter, tried to filter out her violence
She looked just like a raccoon
Black Eyes White Skin inside her cocoon
Never knew just what to do with her weekends
She stayed inside she had to hide she would sleep in

Baby Doll
02:13
|
|||
|
Everybody hates you
If you're funny
And people will lie to you
to get to your money
But I know
You Know
I love you Baby Doll
Baby Doll
And everybody loves you
when you fake it
and people don't care
whose souls they're raping
But I know
You Know
I love you Baby doll
baby Doll
And you don't seem like the kind of girl I'd trust
But I can't help it if you're so robust
Baby Doll

Gold Plated Steeples
06:08
|
|||
|
The radio signal is blocked by stony stares
They teach the golden rule so it sounds fair
But the more time I stay on this marble of doom
I figure out they were lying, for the most part, and lock myself in my room
I contemplate the actions of our dear residents
And wonder why the hell we have presidents
Nothing gets done it's just rinse and repeat
It gets under my skin and it makes me feel weak
Hello Hello to the weak minded people
Listening to me from their gold plated steeples
Stop watching the world with your reptile eyes
Just leave us alone we're locked from the inside
No key or crowbar can break our chains
It's programmed into our valuable brains
So get off your high horse, tie it to the post
We're changing the future, we're making the most
They don't have the time to give you a glance
They're much too busy to give you a chance
They laugh and they spit like a cobra on drugs
You give them a handshake they give you a shrug
A life of cages and minimum wages
People too tired to turn their pages
Something better must be on the way
Or we'll all break down from the weight of the day
