They say I'm a nihilist, but I don't care I see 'em push it on every square It's Everywhere They say I'm a cynic, but that ain't fair I believe what I believe and I don't share It's Everywhere

You can lie to everyone else, but you can't lie to yourself You can try to fool everyone else, but you're just fooling yourself You got mistake written all over your face You can try to fool yourself, but you'll just see it in everyone else You can't make something of yourself by tearing down everyone else You got mistake written all over your face

Goin' on down to the southside Gonna pick you up, take you for a ride I give you money, you give me your time And I guess that it could be our thing It could be our thing My life is amazing Flying with no gauges I might go down flaming Well I guess that it could be our thing It could be our thing

Ratlines 03:00
I went outside today That was my first mistake I keep digging my own grave Hop in no hesitate I'm free Free to be me There's ratlines through the DMZ Take me away from the KGB I'm getting money from the CIC Go somewhere where I can be me I'm free Free to be me

Pop's left his gun underneath the bed Tried to take it away when he went out of his head Can't tell an old man what he really needs Can't see no forest, don't see no trees Pop a pill, I take another shot Don't need to feel, don't need no thoughts Dredged through the trash, found a diamond in the rough Can't nobody tell me when enough is enough, it's enough Pin up girl taking off her summer dress Back in the day more was less There's a rusty old knife in a drawer by the door We can't find the safe, gotta tear up the floor War bonds stacked up hidden in a boot Next to twelve wooden pipes and a packet of chew Silver coins stuffed in a pinball machine Kick the dust off the lamp and light the kerosene Pop a pill, I take another shot Don't need to feel, don't need no thoughts Dredged through the trash, found a diamond in the rough Can't nobody tell me when enough is enough, it's enough Enough is enough Enough is enough

Inching closer to midnight You're bloodthirsty for human sacrifice Candlelit, midnight mass Bloody corpses torn in half Goat's head sitting on a pike Occult ceremonies deep in the night Deep into the night Man and beast hand in hand The shaman's babbling puts you in a trance Candlelit, midnight mass Bloody corpses torn in half Goat's head sitting on a pike Occult ceremonies deep in the night Deep into the night

Junk Car 04:56
Junk car on the side of the road Caught in a rut with the radiator blowed Two punk kids got a pipe and a rag A pump shotty and a gram in the bag Drunk in a puddle and found on the road Dead inside and outside alone Step out back, get this show on the road Left out to dry, guess I'll go at it alone Pulled in the shop just a smokin' up a storm Ace in my pocket and an eye on the door I'm flying by by the seat of my pants Check on the dealer just to see if I'll last Woke up sick and beaten to a pulp I'm dodging punches and I'm hanging on a rope No coins to pay off the man One chip so I'll play another hand Just by luck the coolers in the can Check my pulse and I look at my hand Ace high flush just might get me on the road Buy back my life and take off a load More eyes and the dealer starts to sweat Just how much more high can I get Slip out the kitchen while I'm counting up my chips Looking down the road just a lickin' on my lips Black tooth grin and a bottle for the road Trade a dime for your time to knock off the cold Nothing but sin at the end of the road Nothing for me, just sold my soul A pack of smokes and some gas in the can A fifth of brandy and I'm out on the lam Pull out a pistol and I hope it don't jam Haven't had to use it since Vietnam

We're halfway home to the halfway house Got all these lugs all strung out You got injuries that'll never heal You scout pharmacies to see what you can steal You're just a high school flunkie, turned into a junkie Giving bad tattoos to support your habit, it's so tragic Well, you tried to get sober, but it never took So you cross the street without a look Maybe you can scam some more little pills 'Cus you're looking rough Maybe you can steal the pad from some unwitting doctor It's never enough Got a junkie wife, she won't shut her mouth She just drains the life, you can't cut her out She's full of bad advice and her little schemes She knows what's bad for you is good for me Maybe you can scam some more little pills 'Cus you're looking rough Maybe you can steal the pad from some unwitting doctor It's never enough
