I've typed in the lyrics as they appear in the album liner notes, except that I've fixed a few grammatical errors here and there (but not all of them). Sometimes the word "loving" appears in the text when a different word, somewhat coarser but with the same meaning, appears in the actual song. Deejays beware! I've left those in, as-is. :)
You put me on my cross That's what you did That's what you'll always do You pierced my aching side Until the bloody water flowed onto the ground, my mother cried Mother Mary's not her name As the nails throbbed slowly in my hands the vinegar tastes fine Won't you hide with me Don't ask me why Why do you tear me down Why do you smear my crown Why do you tear me down Why do you smear my crown A crown of thorns deep in my head I cried a tear as they drank my blood They yelled and screamed Mocked my name Never really understood Who are you to cast a stone When I hold as many stones as you You've nailed me to my cross That's what you did That's what you'll do Won't you hide with me Don't ask me why Why do you tear me down Why do you smear my crown Why do you tear me down Why do you smear my crown It seems I'm locked in my closet and that's where I make my stand I'm locked away I'm put away All hope I can't contain You keep me from a world outside Where nobody knows my name You've got me down
My soul is wet And I can feel your pain My soul is wet And I can see your shame My soul is wet You don't know my name My soul is wet But I own my shame My soul is wet I don't like to change My soul is wet But I can rearrange My soul is wet Don't ask my name My soul is wet To die To cry You Beat me down [repeat] My soul is wet And I can feel your pain My soul is wet And I can see your pain My soul is wet You don't know my name My soul is wet I own my shame My soul is wet I don't like to change My soul is wet But I can rearrange My soul is wet Don't ask my name My soul is wet To die To cry You Beat me till I cry Till I die Till I can't stand up You won't beat me no more Beat in a corner Far away I can't ask for no more
Sitting all alone Waiting for an answer Was today too strong Was tomorrow not supposed to be You played the saddest song A song of grave forgiveness Was your life meant to be a memory The blood on my hands I couldn't see Were my words all wrong Was my sight so blind Now I bow my head To a merciful sky Was it I Was it on my hands Picture standing tall Standing right before me I smile As a tear runs down my face That I feel what I feel That I see what I see As the pain Drives me through the day The blood on my hands I couldn't see Were my words all wrong Was my sight so blind Now I bow my head To a merciful sky Was it I Was it on my hands The sun is in my hands And blinds my path before me As the tears are holding to my face The blood on my hands I couldn't see Were my words all wrong Was my sight so blind Now I bow my head To a merciful sky Was it I Was it on my hands
White man said to the black man poor Come and open my little door I'll take you to a place between heaven and hell Where the biggest liars will always tell The truth in motion, big commotion The world as it turns in liberal devotion Left turn right turn no turn at all Rich man poor man under the law Ugly, pretty, white or black. You're not From the same side of the track that's right For your little mind your pointing and raging All the time. Invitation only you weren't invited with a 9mm It seems you've Decided to blow away pretty blow away rich Blow away your girl because she's a loving bitch What you see - What you see What you see - I love me Opposite sides of the street we live But the fence in the middle no-one could build That high, individually, you're running away But coming to see, the pain from inside Live on the outside free from you but you Can't hide. Love me hate me hate me some more Slam my face in the loving door What you see - What you see What you see - I love me
Well your mama is ugly And your daddy is too And you belong To the chosen few A Jew A stray Or maybe just black Love to be hated Love to be axed Went to church on Sunday Sat on the front pew Learned all the great teachings Like a good boy do We all bleed red Let's see it eye to eye We all bleed red There's got to be a compromise I don't live like you You don't live like me But living it together Is the way it's gotta be We all bleed red That's you and me Say live it like this No live it like that We got too many answers Way too few facts But society's pointing And they don't know why I guess they like to see The innocent cry Went to church on Sunday Sat on the front pew Learned all the great teachings Like good boys do We all bleed red Let's see it eye to eye We all bleed red There's got to be a compromise I don't live like you You don't live like me But living it together Is the way it's gotta be We all bleed red That's you and me Build your fancy pretty Way up to the sky Cast away the shadows That nail scar your eye Chain and strap my beauty Make sores that won't mend Then talk about how Jesus Wants to wash away my sins Went to church on Sunday Sat on the front pew Learned all the great teachings Like good boys do We all bleed red Let's see it eye to eye We all bleed red There's got to be a compromise I don't live like you You don't live like me But living it together Is the way it's gotta be We all bleed red That's you and me
I couldn't see the pain of love She had yet seen A broken toy in front of me Let me touch the chosen one The laugh of the calf rained down The blind raining down the blind Chorus: Look at me don't really care I can be A loser born Evil mind You put me here Swimming dry water Standing up Knocking you down Love my mind Hate your soul boy Drink from a rock The world ain't round Swimming dry water Living what you see Think you got me worried Knocking all the time There's nobody there Beg for vengeance In a dead man's bottle Clinging so close to The love that you fear Buckle tight while you're running away The bones are chasing me (chorus) (solo) Chorus: Look at me don't really care I can be A loser born Evil mind You put me here Swimming dry water Loving what you hate It's a ghost for savior In a dying world Redemption so near Beg for vengeance In a deadman's bottle Cling so close to the one that you fear Buckle tight while you're running away The bones are chasing me (Chorus:)
Point a loaded gun at me At me Tell me how it's gonna be It'll be Well you've paved your road Now you want to pave mine But it's not gonna work It's time I live my life my way Do the best I can each day With the world on the downside Fallen by the wayside Walking through hell With a carcass on the inside Chorus: Get away Get down Get off my back Leave it alone Listen to what Your mama got to say Face down while the blood Drips off your head Get a clue Get away Get down Get off my back Leave it alone Mama don't like my ways That's just the way I play With an angry heart And an acid mind It eats away The soul can't live on hate alone Hate alone alone Live my life I'm not a clone THe first time, second time, third time to come With the devastating crash of a Wall Street bum (Chorus) (Solo) Where you gonna be When your world falls down Don't you know they laugh at you Where you gonna be When you lose your ground Don't stand around The joke's on you (Chorus) Pushing me down pushing me all around Pushing me to make me cry Killing all dreams killing all the world Killing just to satisfy Pointing to hell pointing at the sky Pointing just to uplift you When you look around in your little world Oh yes you better get a clue
You pushed me down I took your life to pay the debt That you owed You pushed me down I tried to love you but my love Didn't show You called me out You played a card that meant Too much to me You pushed me down I left you stranded in a Deep bloody sea Pre chorus: Your still my rose just in Somebody elses garden I had to cut you down You were growing too fat from me Chorus: I don't need you I can't feel you I can't help you I don't love you You stole my soul I gave you freedom to love all that you can You stole my soul I fixed the damage that was eating you down You stole my soul And once again your growing too far away You pushed me down I took your life to pay the debt that you owed You pushed me down I tried to love you but my love didn't show You called me out You played a card that meant too much to me You pushed me down I left you stranded in a deep bloody sea (pre-chorus) (chorus)
Sitting on the front porch Watching the children play Old man rocking Waiting for judgement [day] A fresh chew of tobacco, and a glass of lemonade The sun beats down, but he's safe in the shade Ooh...just a memory As a memory fades Mama's in the kitchen Been working there all day The old man comes home As the children come into play He works all day At the corner lumberyard Just to bring home a dollar He works real hard all day Ooh...Just a memory As a memory fades Don't stand around Waiting for another day Don't stand around Forgetting yesterday Don't live for tomorrow Cause it might be the last train The last train Old man's on the sofa With the news on the tv He'll sit there all night That's the way it's been, the way it'll be Can't you see Mama cuddles up While the kids are in the bed They could of had it all But they chose love instead Some say Ooh...just a memory As a memory fades Don't stand around Forgetting yesterday Don't live for tomorrow Cause it might be the last train The last train The way it goes The seasons only change I stand around waiting for another day It all passes me by and by and by As it goes where it goes The seasons going by There's a change Don't stand around Waiting for another day Don't stand around Forgetting yesterday Don't live for tomorrow Cause it might be the last train The last train
Partying one night Got way out of hand Drifting home that morning Hoping Mom would understand I fell through the door With the slightest of care When my eyes began to focus Mom was standing right there Where've you been young man Don't you know it's pretty late Mom it's six in the morning So I made a mistake The car has a flat No Gary lost my keys I tried to call early but... Chorus: Breakfast first please I just got out of bed It's hard to get started With you drilling in my head I saw her smile Then she drug me off my knees I'll beg her for forgiveness But breakfast first please Questions oh the questions How they ring so loud Mom keeps preaching How I'm with the wrong crowd She states her mind She states it pretty well For the next 3 weeks I'll be walking through hell She's got a list of chores And the list is so long I can see no friends And there's no telephone She needs to chill out It's not as bad as it seems One more cry and I'll (chorus) The dog won't leave me alone Get away get away get away Now I'm all stuck at home She didn't see it my way The dog won't leave me alone Get away get away get away
Love is a flower That fades with the wind Love is the morning after Again and again Death's a sweet corruption That goes by and by Death's a sweet little flower That fades with the wind pre-chorus: Won't you wait for me 'Cos I'll wait for you Will you wait for me chorus: I love you but do you love me I push and kiss you on the floor I need you but do you need me I don't need you anymore The crossroad came Another life a new decision The factors involved Placed us in a new dimension I helped you You tried to help me Looking back long It's the way it had to be pre-chorus: Won't you wait for me 'Cos I'll wait for you Will you wait for me chorus: I love you but do you love me I push and kiss you on the floor I need you but do you need me I don't need you anymore If I could hear I love you From you one last time If I could hear I love you From you one last time Like children in the shadows Trying to find out who they are Children lost in the shadows Losing who they are (chorus)
For a land of beauty Where it's pretty and neat There's a whole lotta ugly Up and down the street An ugly boy An ugly girl In an ugly home There's not much pretty Where the ugly roams An ugly house falling down So pretty you think With ugly people washing dishes In the kitchen sink The scene is sad maybe tearful But it still needs love There's still warmth and kindness Shining down from above Well, there's a whole lotta people All around the world And there's at least one love For every boy or girl The majorities ugly though I don't know why Every ugly has some pretty in it's own little eye What's ugly to you might be pretty to me So I keep my eyes open to see what I can see I see through a bottle To make it more clear There's a whole lotta ugly But the pretty's still there chorus: Whole lotta ugly Ugly people need love too. No rest for the ugly What's an ugly one to do Ugly to the east And ugly to the west And I've ran from ugly I must confess I've seen ugly - seen pretty Seen rich - seen poor And ugly so tough It knocks you to the floor The ugly don't care They live and they walk And I'll bet your last dollar That your one to talk See the ugly's in charge And that's no mistake So sit yourself down By your ugly date (chorus) What's ugly to you might be pretty to me So I keep my eyes open to see what I can see I see through a bottle To make it more clear There's a whole lotta ugly But the pretty's still there (chorus)
Note: no lyrics for "Ding-ding Man" are included in the liner notes, but see below.
Once upon a time Just around the bend There lived a scrawny little tot About nine or ten He grew kinda early And his mind was kinda late Everybody could see He had a problem with his weight He had a 26 waist and a size 12 shoe Six foot five, weighed a hundred and two His mom lays dead and old Uncle Benny Could see her pride and joy was way too skinny Chorus: Willard's skinny and he's locked in the basement That's where the different people go Willard's skinny and his life's out of placement What do the other people know? Grade school came and the laughing started He was different He was sick `Cause he belched and farted His pals were too short Always seemed too tall He gained his fame From the jokes on the wall Missed out on parties and the graduation dance `Cause nobody forgives when you poop your pants Sporting polyester and a mobcut too Nowhere to hide when they're laughing at you (Chorus:) (Solo:) Willard, oh Willard never wanted to play Just the narrow-minded people who laughs your name Standing so tall, `cause he can't be sold Wishing for the day that you're out of the cold (Chorus: 2x)
Susie's making mudpies Out in the pouring rain Susie's self-indulging Life she bid good day Mudpies slits of hatred Daughter, darling raped Went to making mudpies Wonder why she goes Susie's making mudpies Under the dying sun Susie's self-inflicting Sorrow in her book Mudpies slits of anger Her pleasure falling soon Went to making mudpies Wonder why she goes I don't love you like you do I don't hate you like you do (Solo:) Susie's making mudpies Under the dying sun Susie's self-inflicting Wonder why she goes

Butcher man's talking, no walking Mutha fucka's eyes too busy with the talking Downside up or the upside down Leavin' his mark all over town Kitchen man's saying, no playing A gun in here now he'll start slaying Down the boy, down the good Everyone playing in his neighborhood Chorus: I wanna see it I wanna feel it Take a walk with me Walk through mine Gun to the head's just an understanding `Cause if you don't mind me, she won't mind It's time to go bulk up, time to choke up Tell us what the boy's been smoking Open your eyes and hands out of pockets See if he'll finally talk what started She's gonna hate him also Can't keep silent anymore (Chorus) Raise your voice Somebody might hear you The world that you know Just came down You're looking away It's not even over It's time to stand up Stand your ground (Solo) Butcher man's talking, no walking Mutha fucka's eyes too busy with the talking Open your eyes, I'll open mine Cross our fence or crawl the line Kitchen man's saying, no playing The world could stand it, better start praying Rich to the poor, wrong to the good Everyone playing in his neighborhood (Chorus)
