1. Nice Guys Finish Last


Nice guys finish last
Youīre running out of gas
Your sympathy will get you left behind

Sometimes youīre at your best
When you look the worst

Do you feel washed up
Like piss going down the drain

Pressure cooker pick my brain and tell me Iīm insane
Iīm so fucking happy I could cry
Every joke can have itīs truth and now the jokeīs on you
I never knew you were such a funny guy

Oh nice guys finish last
When you are the outcast
Donīt pat yourself on the back
You might break your spine

Living on command
Youīre shaking lots of hands
Kissing up and bleeding all your trust
Taking what you need
Bite the hand that feeds
You kill your memory



2. Hitchinī A Ride


Hey mister, where you headed?
Are you in a hurry?
I need a lift to happy hour say oh no
Do you brake for distilled spirits?
I need a break aswell
The well that inebriates the guilt
1,2,1,2,3,4

Cold turkeyīs getting stale
Tonight Iīm eating crow
Fermented salmonella poison oak no
Thereīs a drought at the fountain of youth
And Iīm dehydrating
My tongue is swelling up
I say 1,2,1,2,3,4

Troubled times
You know I cannot lie
Iīm off the wagon and Iīm hitchinī a ride

Thereīs a drought at the fountain of youth
And now Iīm dehydrating
My tongue is swelling up
I say
Shit!

Troubled times
You know I cannot lie
Iīm off the wagon and Iīm hitchinī a ride
Hitchinī a ride (*8)



3. The Grouch


I was a young boy that had big plans
Now Iīm just another shitty old man
I donīt have fun and I hate everything
This world owes me so fuck you

Glory days donīt mean shit to me
I drank a six pack of apathy
Lifeīs a bitch and so am i
The world owes me so fuck you

Wasted youth and a fistful of ideas
I had a young and optimistic point of view
Wasted youth and a fistful of ideas
I had a young and optimistic point of view

Iīve decomposed yet my gutīs getting fat
Oh my god, Iīm turning out like my dad
Iīm always rude, Iīve a bad attitude
The world owes me so fuck you

The wifeīs a nag and the kids fucking up
I donīt have sex īcause I canīt get it up
Iīm just a grouch sitting on the couch
The world owes me so fuck you



4. Redundant


Weīre living in repetition
Content in the same old shtick again
Now the routineīs turning to contention
Like a production line going over and over and over
Roller coaster

Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice
Iīm speechless and redundant
īcause I love youīs not enough
Iīm lost for words

Choreographed and lack of passion
Prototypes of what we were
Went full circle ītil Iīm nauseous
Taken for granted now
Now I waste it, I faked it, I ate it, now I hate it

īcause I cannot speak, I lost my voice
Iīm speechless and redundant
īcause I love youīs not enough
Iīm lost for words, now I cannot speak

Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice
Iīm speechless and redundant
īcause I love youīs not enough
Iīm lost for words



5. Scattered


Iīve got some scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor
Reminds me of the times we shared
Makes me wish that you were here
Now it seems Iīve forgotten my purpose in this life
All the songs have been erased
Guess Iīve learned from my mistakes

Open the past and present now and we are there
Story to tell and I am listening
Open the past and present and the future too
Itīs all Iīve got and Iīm giving it to you

Loose ends tied in knots leaving a lump down in my throat
Gagging on a souvenir
Lodged to fill another year
Drag it on and on until my skin is ripped to shreds
Leaving my self wide open
Living out a sacrifice

If you got no one and I got no place to go
Would it be alright? could it be alright?



6. All The Time


All the time
Evertime I need it
Whatīs the time?
Iīd say the time is right
Hereīs to me
Letīs find another reason
Down the hatch
And a bad attitude salud

Wasting time, wasting time down a bum fuck road
And I donīt know where the hell itīll go
Heirlooms and huffing fumes Iīm picking up the pace
And Iīm gonna smash it straight into a wall

All the time
A "new yearīs resolution"
How soon that we forget loving every minute
Live it up on another let down salud

Promises, promises, it was all set in stone
Cross my heart and hope to die
Sugar fix, dirty tricks and a trick question
Guess I should have read between the lines

Having the time of my life
Watching the clock tick
Having the time of my life
Watching the clock tick
All the time
Where did all the time go?
Itīs too late to say goodnight
Time flies when youīre having fun
Times up when you work like a dog salud



7. Worry Rock


Another sentimental argument and bitter love
Fucked without a kiss again and dragged it through the mud
Yelling at brick walls and punching windows made of stone
The worry rock has turned to dust and fallen on our pride

A knocked down dragged out fight
Fat lips and open wounds
Another wasted night
And no one will take the fall

Where do we go from here?
And what did you do with directions?
Promise me no dead end streets
And Iīll guarantee weīll have the road



8. Platypus (I Hate You)


Your rise and fall
Back up against the wall
What goes around is coming back and haunting you
Itīs time to quit
Cause you ainīt worth the shit
Under my shoes or the piss on the ground

No one loves you and you know it
Donīt pretend that you enjoy it or you donīt care
Cause now I wouldnīt lie or tell
You all the things you want to hear
I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you

I heard youīre sick
Sucked on that cancer stick
A throbbing tumor and a radiation high
Shit out of luck
And now your time is up
It brings me pleasure just to know youīre going to die

Dickhead, fuckface, cock smoking, mother fucking,
Asshole, dirty twat, waste of semen, I hope you die hey

Red eye, code blue
Iīd like to strangle you
And watch your eyes bulge right out of your skull
When you go down
Head first into the ground
Iīll stand above you just to piss on your grave



9. Uptight


I woke up on the wrong side of the floor
Made, made my way through the front door
Broke my engagement with myself
Perfect picture of bad health
Another notch scratched on my belt
The future just ainīt what it used to be

I got a new start on a dead end road
Peaked, peaked out on reaching new lows
Owed, I paid off all my debts to myself
Perfect picture of bad health
Another notch scratched on my belt
The futureīs in my living room

Uptight, Iīm a nag with a gun yeah
All night, suicideīs last call
Iīve been uptight all night
Iīm a son of a gun



10. Last Ride In


(instrumental)



11. Jinx


I fucked up again itīs all my fault
So turn me around and face the wall

Read me my rights and tell me Iīm wrong
Until it gets into my thick skull

A slap on the wrist
A stab in the back
Torture me, Iīve been a bad boy
Nail me to the cross until you have won
I lost before I did any wrong

Iīm hexed with regrets and bad luck
Keep you distance īcause itīs rubbing off
Or you will be damned to spend your life in hell
Or earth with me tangled at your feet
You finally met you nemesis disguised as your fatal long lost love
So kiss it good bye
Until death do we part
You fell for a jinx for crying out loud



12. Haushinka


Haushinka is a girl with a peculiar name
I met her on the eve of my birthday
Did she know, did she know, before she went away
Does she know? does she know? but itīs too damn late

This girl has gone far away - now sheīs gone
This girl has gone far away - now sheīs gone
This girl has gone far away - now sheīs gone
This girl has gone far away - now sheīs gone
Now sheīs gone, now sheīs gone, sheīs all gone

All I have now is a memory to date
A cheap hat and cigarettes, and a peculiar name
I didnīt know, I didnīt know, before she went away
I know now, I know now, and itīs too damn late

Will she ever find her way?
Iīm too damn young to be too late, but am i?
Yet again Iīm kicking myself
And Iīll be here in battle scars
Waiting for you
Waiting for you now



13. Walking Alone


Come together like a foot in a shoe
Only this time I think I stuck my foot in my mouth
Thinking out loud and acting in vain
Knocking over anyone that stands in my way

Sometimes I need to apologize
Sometimes I need to admit that I ainīt right
Sometimes I should just keep my mouth shut, or only say hello
Sometimes I still feel Iīm walking alone

Walk on eggshells on my old stomping ground,
Yet thereīs really no one left, thatīs hanging around
Isnīt that another familiar face?
Too drunk to figure out theyīre fading away



14. Reject


Who the hell are you to tell me what I am
And whatīs my master plan
What makes you think that it includes you?
Self-righteous wealth
Stop flattering yourself
So when the smoke clears here I am
Your reject all-american

Sucking up you social sect
Making you a nervous wreck
To hell and back and hell again Iīve gone
Youīre not my type
Not my type

Whatīs the difference between you and me?
I do what I want, and you do what youīre told
So listen up and shut the hell up
It ainīt no big deal
And Iīll see you in hell
So when the smoke clears here I am
Your reject all-american

Falling from grace, right on my face
To hell and back and hell again Iīve gone



15. Take Back


You pushed me once too far again
Iīd like to break your fucking teeth
Stick a knife in the center of your back
You better grow some eyes in the back of your head
I fight dirty, just like your looks
Canīt take, canīt take, canīt take anymore

Take back, take back, take

The taste of bad blood on the tip of my tongue
An eye for an eye
Gun for a gun
Cold-cocked and Iīm taking back whatīs mine
Expect it when youīre least expecting it
No loss of love, the smell of regret
Lights out canīt take anymore

Take back, take back, take back, take back

Shit



16. King For A Day


Started at the age of 4
My mother went to the grocery store
Went sneaking through her bedroom door
To find something in a size 4

Sugar and spice and everything nice
Wasnīt made only for girls
Gi joe in panty hose
Is making room for the one and only

King for a day, princess by dawn
King for a day in a leather thong
King for a day, princess by dawn
Just wait ītil all the guys get a load of me

My daddy threw me in therapy
He thinks Iīm not a real man
Who put the drag in the drag queen
Donīt knock it until you tried it



17. Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)


Another turning point
A fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist
Directs you where to go
So make the best of this test
And donīt ask why
Itīs not a question
But a lesson learned in time
Itīs something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs
And still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf of
Good health and good time
Tattoos of memories
And dead skin on trial
For what itīs worth
It was worth all the while
Itīs something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

Itīs something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

Itīs something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life



18. Prosthetic Head


I see you
Down in the front line
Such a sight for sore eyes
Youīre a suicide makeover

Plastic eyes
Looking through a numbskull
Sell effaced, whatīs his face
You erased yourself so shut up
You donīt let up

You have a growth that must be treated
Like a sudden severe pain in the neck
You can smell it but you canīt see it
No explanation identified īcause
You donīt know
You donīt say

And you got no reply
Hey you, where did you come from?
Got a head full of lead
Youīre an inbred bastard son
All dressed up, redblooded
A mannequin

Do or die, no reply
Donīt deny that youīre synthetic
Youīre pathetic
