- Amount Of Truth
Wake all the children from their slumber,
Before they wonder why their dreams have gone to hell.
Wake all the children from their sleep.
Down the staircase we shall creep,
To the basement of this white picket home.
Let's show them where the bad ones go.
For all they know, for all they know,
Their heroes are still untouchable.
- Clean Of You
I love it just love it
Oh.. what a pretty picture now lets...
Jump off the corners and
Swap out the colors
Keep 'em comin' keep 'em comin'
Keep 'em shorter my brethren
Shimmy out another one
Thought about your lover
- Clergy
Half an inch away,
Speak before the sweat is even noticed
Such a bitter taste,
Recite the words I just can't comprehend
Ink the scriptures to my feet
For bruising, swells and apathy
Sit so still with skeptic limbs
Penetrate these veins to fill this vial with niavety
- Head First In The River
Move it's what they say
Sell them the bones that they love to hear break
I said move to another birth place
Yours truly sincerely...
We're the ones who you paid to see a piece of my soul for your money
And it's my job, to smile while pigs feast
Swallows slop out of the head of a crooked priest
- Lapse
The road turned into a snake
and looked in my veins and said
it's in your blood
thats when i tried to run
but it was way too dark
i got scared and ran into your arms
oh sweet chemical predicament
- Laugh Ourselves to Death
If I could bring you to
The water's edge
I could drown all our money,
All our money, all our money
And broke and free
Bet I'd make you sing
From the crow's nest
Spit on the rich and
- Like I Do
I've been gettin' high
Spending nights
With the television on in black and white
In a room that's dressed in red...
Turning water into wine
With a lady who
Must be made of porcelain and fire
And she breaths just like I do
- Made of Stone
I don't believe in much of anything
I threw that away when I found out
Jesus never learned to sing
I'll wear the crown if you say that it fits
You say my head has grown but it fits through the door
And you think...
And you think I'm made of stone,
- Mirrors
Dear Miss White,
Put down this night
Wouldn't believe how much it snows
In the summer heat
With red iron feet
You'll be nursing a bloody nose
Princess, rest
- Numb
I can't feel a thing...
I'll rape this city just to show you she's as pretty in the night as day
I kiss bottles even though I know that they'll become my currency
I'm made of books, and drunks, and people,
who I thought I should become,
And I'll swallow anything
That seems to look just like a key, yeah...
- Starving Your Friends
Thanks a lot.
I've been disadvantaged from the start
He constricted the veins heading straight to my head,
Rerouted the blood to my heart instead (x2)
I am braindead,
Thinking in strictly in blues and reds.
Oh, I'm in enough trouble man,
- Sugar Skulls
Isabella stand a little bit taller.
I don't deserve your tears,
anymore than you deserve the fears
that I have left you with, dear.
Oh may I bless your every last tear?
"She's just a little girl
She knows nothing of this little game
- Tell Them That She's Not Scared
I'll hold your tears as a ransom
Within the palm of my hand,
And tell you once again,
Don't tell me that you're scared...
Wake, wake, wake her
From this sea of white linens and
Extract the drugs from her dreams
- Temper Temper
Temper,temper
I never wanted to be
Temper,temper
I never wanted to be
Mr. Mr.
I can't hold it in.
No...
Never,never
- The Great American T-Shirt Racket
Oh
I'll be catchin' stones
it's nothing biblical
'cause I'd never tell you I'm a man of God and leave you with
an out of focus poem
but all the kids know
'cause they've been coddled in the cradle of a barely broken home.

You'll find the cross only fits,
When your hands and feet are nailed to it.
"Can we get a picture with the pauper,
And another with the prince?"
Ma'am, He's got your daughter wrapped in his fist.
To the boys and girls,
He's alabaster,
