1. FAMILY MAN

Do you want the family man or do you want the swingin' man?

Family man

You get the family man
Family man
FAMILY man
With your glances my way, takin no chance on the new day
Family man, with your life all planned;
Your little sand castle built, smilin through your guilt, family man
Here I come
Here I come family man
I come to infect; I come to rape your women;
I come to take your children into the street;
I come for YOU family man, with your Christmas lights already up,
Your such a MAN when your puttin up your Christmas lights,
First on the block;
Family man
I wanna crucify you to your front door with the nails
From your well stocked garage family man;
Family man;
FAMILY MAN
Saint dad! father on fire! I've come to incinerate you
Ive come home



2. SALT ON A SLUG

I poured salt on a large slug.
I watched how the slug writhed and squirmed.
It tried to escape me and my burning salt.
The slug made no sound.
But I'm sure if I were turned inside out and dipped in salt, I would scream.
I remember how the slug glistened and resperated...
Until I put the salt on it.
And how it tried to get away secreting a yellowish green mucus
In great quantities that bubbled slightly.
My fascination turned to revolution as the slug writhed and tossed from side to side
Secreting even more yellow green mucus to try and beat the salt.
It was a losing battle for the slug.
'Cause when it had succeeded in rubbing some of the salt off with great effort
I would simply turn the salt shaker on the slug again and start over.
Eventually I got bored and left the slug still writhing in vain
Trying to get free of the salt that eventually sucked the slug dry.
Later I imagined that my whole body was a tongue and I was dipped in salt...

3. HOLLYWOOD DIARY

He loved her.
He chopped off his left arm. (The Good One)
And sent it to her with a box of chocolates.
She ate the chocolates and watched T.V.
He blew his brains out, picked them up, shoved
them back upside his head, made
breakfast, ate, and tried
again with a renewed vigor
and enthusiasm not seen by many.

4. LET YOUR FINGERS DO THE WALKING

I try and try,
but I can't seem to pry my mind from the gutter
gutter brain pushin'
FILTHY thoughts
dirty hands workin'
diggin nails

Let your fingers do the walkin' [x4]

I saw your head noddin' from side to side,
you say you stuck around for just one last ride,
well you'll surely go just as sure as you can

What's your name? [x4]
Let your fingers do the walkin' [x4]

You spent so much time
tellin' me about yourself and your kind
there so many of you now
and I wanna know,
How does your army grow?
And so long man [x4]
well
so long man

Let your fingers do the walkin' [x4]
hey now
hey now

I've got a halo above my head,
and a gun in my hand.
I can do no wrong,
no wrong man.
Time stands still and takes a step aside.
My credit is good, anywhere, anytime.
All the girls know my name,
but there's none by my side.
I'm a man among men,
walkin' tall with a plan.
You can send it around the world,
you can hold it in your hand,
you can bring it on home.
I'm Armageddon's man girl
it's written on the wall
for a good time call...
ME
Won't you come by,
won't you give me a try
I'm easy to reach
and I'm willing to teach you EVERYTHING you wanna know
DON'T come knockin' on my door
It's open
just walk in like you own the place
hang your hat
put your feet UP
I got time and I know how to use it
How much time do you have?
Do you know?
How much do you need to get the job done?
You know exactly what I'm talkin' about don't you,
'Course you do,
that's why you came here in the first place
Let your fingers do the walkin' [x4]
How can I forgive?
How can I let live?
How can I forgive?
How can I let live?
How you gonna make me forgive?
How you gonna make me let live?

Let your fingers do the walkin' [x4]


5. SHED READING (RATTUS NORVEGICUS)

I am Rattus Norvegicus.
I'm sitting in some shit-hole rat's nest and I'm a little angry.
I wanted to be a talk show host-not a rat.
You men think you have it bad with women?
I've got it a lot worse let me tell you.
What am I gonna say to some nice looking girl who I want to meet?
I can tread water for over 36 hours?
I can chew through lead pipes and cinderblocks?
I can run on telephone wires?!
And what if I do get the girl home?
Can't fit her though the door-it's too small.
Yeah I got a lot of girls.
How'd you like to have a tail that went through your body to drag around all the time?-
Not my idea of fun by a long shot!
And do you see the neighborhoods that I'm forced to live in?
Those people live like pigs!
Can't catch the subway-they haven't built it yet.
Can't catch the up-town bus I can't reach the step-up.
Hey taxi!
And everyone,
Wants to kill me,
Feed me drugs and poison,
Put electrodes in my head and make me run on treadmills
Dissect, bisect, and defect me.
Biome, blind, mane and tame me.
Are you folks crazy?!
You never invite me to your parties as if I would really wanna go anyhow.
Have you ever asked me to go to a movie?
How 'bout bowling?
You ever seen a rat cry?
I got tears.
And I have a heart-and I got brains.
If you could just see past the fur,
I think that you would see
That I'm a lot like you.

6. NO DEPOSIT - NO RETURN

It's 3:29 AM
I look out my window at the hot crowded street above
I notice I feel cold and alone
used up like an old bottle
no deposit, no return
people live and die in these apartment compartments
no deposit, no return
dust falls silently
why can't I?
no deposit, no return

7. ARMAGEDDON MAN

Yea

Nowhere to go No place to go
I'm real screwed up, my eyes are sore from smoking all that shit
No place to go
Bottomless heart, so big that everything just gets lost in there
And if it never comes out, that's ok by me
And on other side, at the top there may light at the end of the tunnel
I just don't think I'll be the same
I'm just warning you I'm warning you all no crutches no nothin'
I am going to live the end apocalypse man what the hell else is there to do?
I want a mission, not a gig or a good time, I want a mission
Scrawny stiff legs and despair come walkin my way with an achy step
Shipwrecked souls desolation paradise
bountiful wonderland of lost souls staggering around arms out stretched looking
for something lonely hero man sitting on the crest of the apocalypse
and our boy says something like uhhhh
hey sir, I'm a man away from home and my soul is out on loan,
could you throw us down a bone, so I wouldn't be all alone
'cause I wanna see it all, and I wanna have it all, and I wanna see it fall,
and I wanna take it all away
February 13th, birthday new shirt around my neck, shivers up and down my spine,
The time is mine and I'm felling fine and I take this one thin dime
And I call my mom on the phone and say
Say something to warm her heart
Say uhh your boy done fucked up
Had a bit of hard luck went down a wrong trail, messed with the wrong people
And just lost his mind just lost his mind just lost his mind
just lost his mind just lost his mind just lost his mind just lost his mind
JUMPED!! get stuck in the trunk, got stuck in the jungle
and their jokes and their votes and their wrong side looks, and all the notes in the books,
and all the wrong turns and all the bad burns
and he never learned to not get burned and he never learned
one more wrong turn led to another wrong turn...
YAAAA!!PEOPLE!! these people.. are for real they watch television.
They run in circles they bark like dogs they nip at my heals
They wanna put a collar around my neck they want me to be like them
Well I just walk right past, right over em, right though em, right on top of them
I crush their face ‘cause it's easy ‘cause their nothing ‘cause their nothing
little dogs humping dogs..stickin' that thing in any crack that passes by
Dirt falling in my mind, dirt gets stuck in my mouth, dirt gets stuck in my eyes..
Seeing everything through dirt, all I see is dirt, all I know is dirt just talking dirt,
Talking dirt, Digging dirt, loving dirt, rolling in dirt
Dirt river, dirt slithers, dirt lovers, dirt undercover, dirt over color

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaooooh
I've felt dirty before, but it never felt quite like this,
I've seen dirt before but it never looked quite looked like this
I've talked dirt before but it never sounded quite like this
That's not the way it is That's just the way it is around here around these paats
OOOH!!
It took a long time to make a long rhyme,
It took a long time to make a story short
It took a lotta lives and a lotta lies to make this story what it is
And stretch it into a disgusting distortion and proportion and detail
And you can retail that, and sell it to the market and see what you get
Bring back the proceeds and we'll spend it on something that works
Something that will save me, something that will get me out of here
There's nothing I want more like out
there's nothing I like to roll in like dirt LOOK!!
Ashamed of myself I've looked at myself..I've hated myself
And if we could all just get together and hate a little we could hate one another
Hate our sisters and brothers in the sea of disunity
Get my fill when the bloodspills, Get my fill when the bloodspills
Get my fill when the bloodspills, I get my freeze with the chillspells,
I get my thrills with the cheers feel, I get my thrills with the cheers feels,
the glass breaks Chills up and down my spine and I'm feeling fine
I was feeling fine the time is mine
Spendin time to time getting my beer and all the gulls wing inside my head,
and alarms goin on and off
all fucked up all messed up..open my eyes, too much breathing,
too much of that fucking dirty air makes me talk shit makes me live shit
makes me wanna kiss the ground, better than kissing you dirt girl, in that dirt dress
what's up that dirt dress what's up that dirt dress ain't nothing but a bunch a trash
ain't nothing but a bunch a trash ain't nothing but a bunch a trash
ain't nothing but a bunch a trash, but you seem to have me quite interested
quite interested, I think I'll walk your way, I think I'll say your name,
I think I'll come over to your house
Eeeeeeeeuuuuuuuwwwww you got something for me! you got something for me!
I'm the man among men walking tall with a plan,
You can send it around the world, you can hold it in your hand
You can bring it on home, I'm Armageddon man giiirllll
Armageddon man giiirllll!! Armageddon man giiirllll!!!
And I want the whole world I want the whole world I want the whole world
I wanna make this place a better place and send my shovel and face everywhere
A statue of my effigy they erected a slum in my name
Henry Rollins memorial slum Henry Rollins memorial pit
Got a grave with my name I gotta grave that always looks the same
Through the eyes of a fuckin' bug!
