1. Hard


Itīs hard to get high
And itīs hard to get through
And it hard to hear me, but Iīm talkinī to you
And you see these hard eyes you know what I mean
And these eyes got hard
Now I canīt see
I mean hard, man so good to find
Iīm not hard, man, well I am mine
Go! Oh yeah!
I got hard, and I stayed hard
You canīt keep me down because Iīm hard
I keep movinī because Iīm hard
I keep burninī because I am hard
Iīm goinī over not gettinī back
Hard sense makes sense
Go! Aww, talk about death bass
Real pain is what I reach
The real thing is what I came for
I am - because Iīm hard
I will - because I am hard



2. What Have I Got


Iīve got a wantless need
Iīve got a thoughtless mind
Iīve got a wantless want
I canīt unwind
Iīve got a heart that hates
Iīve got hands that like to break
They tell me . hold on
They never let me go
I am a clenched fist lookinī for a wall to kiss
I am a locked door lookinī for a foot to kick me to the floor

What have I got? Iīve got everything
What have I got? Nothinī much at all

Self rejected, well protected, to lock myself inside myself to get free
Self-hated, frustrated, my hands turn to fists
Violence - so hard to resist
I get so mad I do things that I regret
So stupid, so stupid, not stupid enough to ever forget

Got no need, got no brain - inside my mind I feel no pain, no
I feel the pounding in my head
Start lookinī, start lookinī - you better look out
Iīm not feelinī too nice today

I canīt stop, I canīt stop - it pulls me together then it tears me apart
Just like that



3. Feel Like This


I feel like this, like this, like this...
I feel I wanna break myself in two
I feel like I wanna feel like you
I feel like this, I feel like this
I feel like this, I feel like this
I feel like this, pass me through me, pass me through me
I feel like this, ripping through me, ripping through me
Do you feel it?
Like I feel it? - Like this?!



4. Planet Joe


I donīt need no friends to tell me who my friends are
I donīt need some pig to tell me what the rules are
See me walkinī Iīm loaded
See me walkinī Iīm loaded
Iīve got an ear for every sound
Iīve got an ear down to the ground
These blues come down
These blues come down
The streets are burninī
The years are turninī
The sky is falling down
The line has been drawn
Been pushed too far
Been pushed too hard
Knocked down, knocked down, no, no, no, break it
I donīt need your lovinī
I donīt want your beauty
I go back in my head, I go ugly in my head
This home is loaded, itīs ugly
This lonely ghetto, itīs ugly
See him walkinī with a gun in his hand
See Iīm walkinī with a gun in my hand
See him walkinī with a gun in my heart
Loaded, ugly, loaded, ugly, loaded, ugly...



5. Love Song


I want you
I hate you
I want you
But I hate you
I want you
But I hate you
But I hate you
I hate you
But I want you
I want you
I hate you
Put your hands on me
Put your mouth on me
I want you
I hate you
Touch me, I hate you
Cut me, I want you
Touch me, make me real
I want you, I want you, I want you
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you
I hate you, but I want you
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you
I donīt want you because I hate you, I hate you
Because I want you
I want you
I hate you
But I hate you
I want you, but I hate you



6. Turned Inside Out


Turned inside out for all to see
Touch this, feel this
See yourself, see the monster
Feel the beast
Laugh, laugh, laugh out loud
Say Freak...
freak
Take this
Break this
Youīre a criminal
Could that be you? Could that be you? Could that be you? Could that be you?
Freak, freak, freak, freak, freak
Turned inside out for all to see
Turned inside out for all to see, see, see
See it till your eyes blind you
See it till your eyes blind you, killer
Freak
Get up...
Entertain me, entertain me, entertain me, entertain me
Laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing
Turned inside out for all to see
Turned inside out, out, out, out, for all to see
Laughing, laughing, laughing, lauging, as you fall
Ohhhh, you fall
Is that you? Is that you? Is that you?
Freak, freak, freak, freak, freak, freak, freak
Turned inside out for all to see, for all to see, for all to see



7. Down And Away


Well I close my eyes and I look inside
Well I realize Iīm a bad case
Well Iīm at the last place that I wanna be
I open my eyes and I wanna get away
Push me, Pull me, ... ... ... and I wanna run, I wanna hide
And I canīt get away, I canīt get away

And I canīt get in, I canīt get out
I canīt get to myself, so I canīt get to you
And I canīt get close when I get close to you
And I canīt get through myself so I canīt get to you

Thereīs an ego followinī the way I feel
The closer I get, the farther away I feel
I canīt get in and I canīt get out
Why donīt you touch me so I can feel it
I want you to touch me so I can feel it
Iīm dead as I look to your eyes
Iīm a prisoner trapped in life
I am the loser in the game I play
I am the garbage that I throw away
Iīm alone in the place I stay
And I canīt understand why I canīt get in and I canīt get out

The closer I get the farther away you feel
The closer you get the farther away I feel

I canīt get close, I canīt get close, I canīt, I canīt get it
I canīt get close to you

Iīve got thrown in a hole
Down and away, down, down, down, down and away
Down and away, away, down...
down
Away
Down, down and away
Down
away
