Armatage Shanks

Stranded, lost inside myself
My own worst friend and my own closest enemy
I’m branded, maladjusted
Never trusted anyone, let alone myself

I must insist
On being a pessimist
I’m a loner in a catastrophic mind

Elected the rejected
I perfected the science of the idiot
No meaning, and no healing
Self-loathing freak and introverted deviant

I’m gettin’ pissed
I’m a worthless pessimist
I’m a loner in a claustrophobic mind

The Grouch

I was a young boy that had big plans
Now I’m just another shitty old man
I don’t have fun and I hate everything
The world owes me, so fuck you

Glory days don’t mean shit to me
I drank a six pack of apathy
Life’s a bitch and so am I
The world owes me, so fuck you

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

I’ve decomposed, yet my gut’s getting fat
Oh my god I’m turning out like my dad
I’m always rude, I’ve got a bad attitude
The world owes me, so fuck you

The wife’s a nag and the kid’s fucking up
I don’t have sex ’cause I can’t get it up
I’m just a grouch sitting on the couch
The world owes me, so fuck you

Dirty Rotten Bastards

Calling all demons, this is the season
Next stop is therapy
We’re the retarded and the broken-hearted
The season of misery

Here’s to the wasted, I can almost taste it
The rejects, the wastes of times
Gonna take it further, get away with murder
And no one here is getting out alive

Here’s to all God’s losers, ra da da da de
The bottomfeeders’ frenzy
Here’s to all bloodsuckers, sing along with me
‘Cause we don’t say no, scream one, two, three

We’re too old to be misbehaved
We sold our souls and so ashamed of ourselves
So we wait for this judgment day
Write me a letter and send it to my grave

All fucked up beyond intervention
Fuck the world, this is my revolution
Long lost souls and living in cages
I’m on a bender, it’s one for the ages

I’ve got the urge
To binge and surge
The tables turn
To crash and burn

Julianna homicide
Make my demons come to life
Well, Julianna homicide
Oh, won’t you be my blushing bride?

I chopped me a line of my best friends’ ashes
Dust to dust when the red light flashes
What the fuck does OK stand for?
When the afterlife is only worth dying for

I’ve got the urge
To binge and surge
The tables turn
To crash and burn

Julianna homicide
Make my demons come to life
Well, Julianna homicide
Oh, won’t you be my blushing bride?

Lazy Bones

I’m too tired to be bored
I’m too bored to be tired
And the silence is so deafening
It’s like picking at a sore

I’m too mental to go crazy
I’m too drunk to be pure
And my mind is playing tricks on me
And I can’t sleep tonight

‘Cause I’m so tired
I can’t take it anymore
With all the liars
Like a prisoner of war

I don’t want your sympathy
I don’t want your honesty
I just wanna get some peace of mind
It’s only in my head
As I roll over and play dead
I don’t want to hear it anymore

It’s good to see you
But I really must admit
There’s an odor in the air
And I think you look like shit

I can’t stand from falling down
I’m too sick to throw up
Everyone keeps talking
And they can’t shut the fuck up

‘Cause I’m so tired
I can’t take it anymore
With all the liars
Like a prisoner of war

I don’t want your sympathy
I don’t want your honesty
I just want to get some peace of mind
It’s only in my head
As I roll over and play dead
I don’t want to hear it anymore

Carpe Diem

Breaking in a sweat
Like a bomb threat
Is your silhouette fading out?
Nothing left to lose
Detonate the fuse
Another breaking news blowout

Ain’t it beautiful?
So unusual
Life’s a gas and it’s running out
Living a cliché
Gonna seize the day
Bottle rockets and celebrate

Carpe diem, a battle cry
Aren’t we all too young to die?
Ask a reason and no reply
Aren’t we all too young to die?

Making a living
Making a killing
What’s worth forgiving?
Alright

A blink of an eye
Barely scraping by
Dominated by passersbys
Feeling out of luck
When the traffic’s stuck
And you’re feeling
So left behind

Getting off a binge
Get a second wind
Another promise
To make a change
Got a broken wing
Hear the angels sing
When the signal is out of range
Ain’t it strange?

Carpe diem, a battle cry
Are we all too young to die?
Ask a reason and no reply
Are we all too young to die?

Making a living
Making a killing
What’s worth forgiving?
Alright

East Jesus Nowhere

Raise your hands now to testify
Your confession will be crucified
You’re a sacrificial suicide
Like a dog that’s been sodomized
Stand up! All the white boys
Sit down! And the black girls
You’re the soldiers of the new world

Put your faith in a miracle
And it’s non-denominational
Join the choir we will be singing
In the church of wishful thinking

A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the faith fanatics

Oh, bless me Lord for I have sinned
It’s been a lifetime since I last confessed
I threw my crutches in “the river of a shadow of doubt”
And I’ll be dressed up in my Sunday best

Say a prayer for the family
Drop a coin for humanity
Ain’t this uniform so flattering?
I never asked you a god-damned thing

A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the faith fanatics

Don’t test me
Second guess me
Protest me
You will disappear

I want to know who’s allowed to breed
All the dogs who never learned to read
Missionary politicians
And the cops of a new religion

A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the inside

Bitch Be Gone

I’m taking down all my enemies ’cause they’re all so fucking useless
A bunch of shit talking drama queens and they’re all filled with excuses
I wanna find me a better scene where it’s not the same opinion
I’d rather go to a funeral than to this high school reunion

Hanging out all by myself, at least I make good company
Hey, isn’t that a whatshisface that I see walking down the street
I’m gonna hide in the shadows ’cause I really got nothing to say
We never had anything in common and I never liked you anyway

F.O.D.

Something’s on my mind
It’s been for quite some time
This time I’m on to you
So where’s the other face?
The face I heard before
Your head trip’s boring me

Let’s nuke the bridge we torched
Two thousand times before
This time we’ll blast it all to hell
I’ve had this burning in my guts now for so long
My belly’s aching now to say

Stuck down in a rut
Of dislogic and smut
A side of you well hid
Well, it’s all said and done
It’s real and it’s been fun
But was it all real fun?

Let’s nuke the bridge we torched
Two thousand times before
This time we’ll blast it all to hell
I’ve felt this burning in my guts now for so long
My belly’s aching now to say…

You’re just… a fuck
I can’t explain it ’cause I think you suck
I’m takin’ pride
In telling you to fuck off and die

I’ve had this burning in my guts now for so long
My belly’s aching now to say
I’m taking pleasure in announcing this to you
So listen up ’cause you might miss (as you bite THIS!)

You’re just… a fuck
I can’t explain it ’cause I think you suck
I’m takin’ pride
In telling you to fuck off and die

The Siktir Song

What brings you around?
Did you lose something the last time you were here?
You’ll never find it now
It’s buried deep with your identity

So stand aside and let the next one pass
Don’t let the door kick you in the ass

Exit out the back
And never show your head around again
Purchase your ticket
And quickly take the last train out of town

So stand aside and let the next one pass
Don’t let the door kick you in the ass

Castaway

I’m on a sentimental journey into sight and sound
Of no return and no looking back or down
A conscientious objector to the war that’s in my mind
Leaving in the lurch and I’m taking back what’s mine

I’m on a mission into destination unknown
An expedition in the desolation road where I’m a…

Castaway, going at it alone
Castaway, now I’m on my own
Castaway, going at it alone
Castaway, now I’m on my own
Lost and found, trouble bound, castaway

I’m riding on the night train and driving stolen cars
Testing my nerves out on the boulevard
Spontaneous combustion in the corners of my mind
Leaving in the lurch and I’m taking back what’s mine

I’m on a mission into destination unknown
An expedition in the desolation road where I’m a…

Castaway, going at it alone
Castaway, now I’m on my own
Castaway, going at it alone
Castaway, now I’m on my own
Lost and found, trouble bound, castaway
