Daddy Went to Jail (Take 2)
Daddy went to jail
Yeah, but now he's out on bail
And, somebody spread the word
That your old man is a jailbird
Have you heard the word, that your old man
He's a jailbird
Make no mistake that the old man is a fake
And, he doesn't even care that his family is at stake
But, you can rest assured that somebody spread the word
And, now everybody's heard that your old man is a jailbird
Have you heard the word, that your old man
He's a jailbird
Have you heard the word, that your old man
He's a jailbird
I remember when I was young, being told I would be no one
And, the funny thing is how I believed it
I remember when I was young, being told I would be no one
And, the funny thing is how I believed it
Daddy went to jail, yeah, but now he's out on bail
And, somebody spread the word, that your old man is a jailbird
Make no mistake that the old man is a fake
And, he doesn't even care that his family is at stake
But, you can rest assured that somebody spread the word
And, now everybody's heard that your old man is a jailbird
Have you heard the word, that your old man
He's a jailbird
I remember when I was young, being told I would be no one
And, the funny thing is how I believed it
When are you coming home Daddy
When are you coming home Daddy

The Ballad of Happy and Scotty Baxter (Remix)
Just like yesterday, he won't leave me in peace
He calls me all the time, I can't get any sleep
He's out on my front porch, he's out there all the time
Somebody help me please, before I lose my mind
Baxter's coming over here to freeload at my place
Every time I see him I just wanna smash his face
Won't you take the hint, leave me alone
If I want to see you I will let you know
You come into my house while I am trying to rest
I'd like to take you out as if you're some kind of pest
And, if I do I bet no one else will know
If I want to see you I will let you know
Baxter's coming over here to freeload at my place
Every time I see him I wish I had a can of mace
Won't you take the hint, leave me alone
If I want to see you I will let you know
Baxter's coming over here to freeload at my place
Sometimes I wish that I could send him into outer space
Won't you take the hint, leave me alone
If I want to see you I will let you know...

Julian, you're as stupid as you are mean
You brutalized two people, and, put them in the hospital
Now you're outside of my house threatening me and my ex-wife
The only way you could've known is if you were told by a cop
Julian, I can't say this to your face
You're the kind of guy who would pull a gun and shoot me
I caught you on a night where you were stalking that young girl
The fact you're going to jail is only right
Julian, you have nothing that I want
To think I covet what is yours, is truly asinine
It's amazing I'm embalming you by writing you a song
You carry on and on, don't you know your record's stuck
Julian, It's not surprising at all
That you'd be shot and killed, your body left outside
You got what you deserved you stupid bastard
Now that you are gone no one misses you at all

Kick the Pimp (Take 2)
You introduced your friends to Down, (you didn't want to be alone)
You're drinking at the magic fountains, thinking it makes you a rolling stone
Now your girlfriend, she's hooking...you could really use the money
How many times has she been raped, there is no escape
Kick the pimp, stomp the pimp
Slash the pimp, smash the pimp
Shoot the pimp, burn the pimp
Crucify, emulsify
I never would have thought that you would've turned into a junkie
You got yourself a nasty habit, and, it costs you a lot of money
You knew long ago that it was time to quit
I'm not sure who's worse, the Pickton or the pimp
Kick the pimp, stomp the pimp
Slash the pimp, smash the pimp
Shoot the pimp, burn the pimp
Crucify, emulsify
Kick the pimp, stomp the pimp
Slash the pimp, smash the pimp
Shoot the pimp, burn the pimp
Crucify, emulsify
It's the politicians and the lawyers who can afford a high priced girl
Guys like you and me don't have that kind of dough
It only goes to show that there are people in the world
Who should be burned at the stake, or maybe turned into soap
It's really a good thing when something bad happens to a pimp
It would've been great if Farmer Willy had been feeding pimps to his pigs
I got this sinking suspicion that the day is gonna come
Where they'll lock you in a room, a room full of all your victims
Kick the pimp, stomp the pimp
Slash the pimp, smash the pimp
Shoot the pimp, burn the pimp
Crucify, emulsify
Kick the pimp, stomp the pimp
Slash the pimp, smash the pimp
Shoot the pimp, burn the pimp
Crucify, emulsify

Beautiful Violence
You cornered a cab driver with a knife to his throat
You took him to your hangout, and, pumped him full of drugs
It's time for you to do the night time crawl
Hopefully, there won't be a bar room brawl
It's a night of beautiful violence
It's a night of beautiful violence
You did a bad thing when you stabbed that guy
Stabbed him in the eye with a broken wine glass
A man lies in a puddle of blood so deep
You can't tell where he's bleeding from
It's a night of beautiful violence
It's a night of beautiful violence
You caught that guy who stole your bike
You break into his house late one night
You beat him with a Sherwood, and, a pool cue
You raid his fridge before you leave
It's a night of beautiful violence
It's a night of beautiful violence
You cornered a cab driver with a knife to his throat
You took him to your spot, and, pumped him full of drugs
It's time to do the night time crawl
Hopefully, there won't be a bar room brawl
It's a night of beautiful violence
It's a night of beautiful violence

The Next Time We Meet
How does it feel to be tried, and, condemned for another man's sins
To be marked on, stalked upon, wondering if I'll live again
Cornered watching the movie you wrote being made as the bad guy wins
You can tell me that the next time we meet again
You got a chart on me, a textbook that reads, but it only tells you when
I'm in character, but what happens when something new slips in
If surprises are identified when a barb penetrates our skin
You can tell me that the next time we meet again
You can tell me that the next time we meet again
There is no sense in worry when you can neither run nor hide
It's character assassination that robs you of your pride
And, when they finally take you down, you take it all in stride
'Cause one by one we fall by the wayside
'Cause one by one we fall by the wayside
How does it feel to be tried, and, condemned for another man's sins
To be marked on, stalked upon, wondering if I'll live again
Cornered watching the movie you wrote being made as the bad guy wins
You can tell me that the next time we meet again...

Grumpy the Dwarf
Grumpy is a local hippie farmer
Using his basement to grow dope
Avoids claiming his income by going on the dole
Yet makes enough to buy his house and his boat...
This is the story of Grumpy the Dwarf
It's surprising that his life isn't shorter
It's surprising that his life isn't shorter...
Grumpy is a perv who hassles women
He expects the blow job he's being given
An old sod pinching a loaf for a living
And, there are plenty of things he could have given...
This is the story of Grumpy the Dwarf
It's surprising that his life isn't shorter
This is the story of Grumpy the Dwarf
It's surprising that his life isn't shorter
It's surprising that his life isn't shorter
Grumpy is a local hippie farmer

Avoids claiming his income by going on the dole
Yet he makes enough to buy his house and his boat...

Nobill
There are things that have crossed my path throughout the working years of my life
If I told you what I have seen, you would think that I was lying
Bodies lying on the tracks where people were left to die
If you only knew what I have witnessed, you would know what I mean
Understand these things do not make me unique
What is strange, is despite the trauma everyone keeps on going
The hours were to the point where it was like being stoned
And, we could've been killed at any given turn
It's a Nobill
If you knew about the times, I nearly lost my mind
Of all the ways things went, and, the ways they could've gone
When you think of all the crew that ended up as casualties
There is definitely a list, a list that is quite long
When you remember what it does to the spirit and the mind
It can be so hard on the brain, that you do forget at times
Broken bones to your limbs, and worse, sometimes to your spine
So many incidents that have left scars on my mind
It's a Nobill

Darkness and Light
I wish you wouldn't go, I guess I should have known
Something tells me this has happened before
You tell me to stay home, don't bother to phone you
I can't help feeling I've always been alone
When it's late at night, and, I don't know what I'll find
I fumble through the darkness as I'm trying to reach the light
When it's late at night, and, I don't know what I'll find
I hate being without you when it's dark instead of light
I hate being without you when it's dark instead of light
Has it all been a game, do you not feel the same
Are you going elsewhere to seek greater fame
If you won't stay, you don't love me no more
I won't ask you why, I have a feeling I know
When it's late at night, and, I don't know what I'll find
I fumble through the darkness as I'm trying to reach the light
When it's late at night, and, I don't know what I'll find
I hate being without you when it's dark instead of light
I hate being without you when it's dark instead of light

You punched a girl in the face, such a manly thing to belt a lady
You had to put her in her place, I hope she kills you in your sleep
Maybe, it was meant to be, a set of rules for you, a set of rules for me
Did you kick the bitch, did you hit the bitch
Did you slap the bitch, did you beat the bitch
Did you kill the bitch, did you frame the bitch
Is it a police conspiracy...
Are folks happy he got off, it serves 'em right for being White
A lot of people die in L.A., they aren't on T.V. every night
But this case is not the same, this man is a man of fame
Did you kick the bitch, did you hit the bitch
Did you slap the bitch, did you smack the bitch
Did you kill the bitch, did you frame the bitch
Is it a police conspiracy...
You're crazy to think the cops framed this man
Only if they had been the ones behind the killing
Now I must say it would be racism, to suggest it was The Bloods and The Crips
Man, don't ask me if he did it.
I wasn't there, I didn't do it.

For those of you who don't want to share the World

There's more of us than there is of you...
For those of you who don't want to share the World
I'm afraid that I have news for you
There's less of you than there is of us
There's no way you can defeat all of us
The time will come when we all will see
Someday my people will be free
There's more of us than there is of you...
I can't wait for World War IV
I like the killing and I want more...
There's more of us than there is of you...
Things are starting to take shape
Look, spy plane up in the sky above
Can't we let bygones be bygone
What makes you so divine when you feel you are the only one...

Brazil
I thought this time I found the one
I never thought it would come undone
Life's too short to always play it safe
I never would have thought that you'd be gone
This time I'm going South
I'm gonna ride all around the World
I'm gonna take a long trip to Brazil
It looks like I let you get away
I'm not gonna waste another day
It's in my past, yet it's so hard to face
And, I don't care where I'll stay
This time I'm going South
I'm gonna ride all around the World
I'm gonna take a long trip to Brazil
I'm gonna take a long trip to Brazil...
You look at me and your stare is cold
I never thought I'd face a heart of stone
I try so hard but you won't be sold
How long must I wait until it's over
This time I'm going South
I'm gonna ride all around the World
I'm gonna take a long trip to Brazil
It's high time I got a taste of life
I'm not gonna let it pass me by
It's been so long since I've seen your face
I'm not gonna watch you fade away
This time I'm going South
I'm gonna ride all around the World
I'm gonna take a long trip to Brazil...

Elixir Song
You can say that it's all a game
It's easy to see you choose to lay blame
This crazy thing that goes back and forth
It goes the full length, the full length of the mind
When you cast me under your spell
My head begins to swell
Your potion is set to chase
An elixir I dare not taste
If you believe that it's good to be mindless
Well, I say you can go ahead be my guest
Because the past is only fueled by darkness
The future chooses to lay bright ahead
When you cast me under your spell
My head begins to swell
Your potion is set to chase
An elixir I dare not taste
Still the World will go on living
Still the World will go on living...
When you cast me under your spell
My head begins to swell
Your potion is set to chase
An elixir I dare not taste
When you cast me under your spell
My head begins to swell
Your potion is set to chase
An elixir I dare not taste

I know lately, everything has been hard
When I try facing what's in my heart
But things will get better than the way things are
You can bet it will improve when things get whole again
You can bet sometimes late at night
When I'm wishing you were by my side
And, when I see you finally come by
You can bet it will improve when things get whole again
You can bet sometimes when things get hard
You just have to wait and see what's in the cards
And, you realize that you're not alone
Things will improve when everything is whole again
I know lately, everything has been hard
When I try facing what's in my heart
But things will get better than the way things are
You can bet it will improve when everything is whole again
You can bet it will improve when everything is whole again
You can bet it will improve when things get whole again...

I'm Dying for You (Take 5)
Ever since I found out that you are engaged
I've had a hard time knowing what to say
And I'm not sure just how I should behave
Yeah, and I'm dying for you
Oh, and I'm dying for you
You look at me and feel somewhat estranged
It's unlike you to not have much to say
And, I can't believe that I let you get away
Oh, and I'm dying for you
Yeah, and I'm dying for you
Oh yeah, why can't you understand that I hate
seeing you with another man, yeah
I know I'm thinking about myself that I should be
thinking about someone else instead
So, he tries to lock you up inside some cage
If I were him maybe I'd feel his rage
If I heard the doubt in everything you say
Oh, and I'm dying for you
Yeah, and I'm dying for you
Oh yeah, why can't you understand that I hate
seeing you with another man, yeah
I know I'm thinking about myself that I should be
thinking about someone else instead
Oh yeah, why can't you understand that I hate

Treat You Real Bad (Take 3)
Well, I know that you're unhappy
About the way I treat you, baby
And, I know that it's surprising if it should last another day
I know that I don't treat you real good
Not even close to how I should
I know that I treat you real bad
But if I don't treat you real bad, what else would we have
Well, I seem to have it in me to keep us both from being happy
And, I know it sounds confusing
But that's just the way it has to be
I know that I don't treat you real good
Not even close to how I should
I know that I treat you real bad
But if I don't treat you real bad, what else would we have
I know that I don't treat you real good
I know, not even close to how I should
Well, you know I'm feeling sorry
Oh, for myself but don't you worry
About me being hurt and lonely
Ever since you done left me
I know that I should have seen it coming
Oh, from at least a mile away
I know that I don't treat you real good
Not even close to how I should
I know that I treat you real bad
But if I don't treat you real bad
But if I don't treat you real bad, what else would we have

The Clothing Store Girl
Mitchell and his boss are in the back where they both fuck like mink
The staff are out front working while she services his dink
I wish I weren't so envious that I am turning green
He gets paid to be there and he's just turned 19
Now, she's outside of his house as she swears at Mitchell's mom
She's expecting to be serviced, and, I mean right God Damn now!!!
Well, Mitchell's off to the races you can bet sure enough
He tries to get her not to have a cow, man
It took a while to explain this fascination
How you remind me of her
I suppose it's not so bad, I guess things could be worse
That's how it is with the clothing store girl
The clothing store girl is leading Mitchell down the garden path
It's sad when he looks at her, he can see that she's a smash
He wakes up in the morning and says, "Do I go to work today?"
He knows what's in store with the clothing store girl
Now, it's time to pack it in, he's tired of her bitchy ways
He pays that final visit for one last roll in the hay
He looks at her and says, "Baby, won't you please go away."
As he tries to get her not to have a cow man
