Lyrics of the Day thread..

STUCK MOJO - Despise(Although they mention Silverchair who is my fav band of all time)

I remember the motto corporate rock sucks,
Now I look at Green Day it must be payday.
Ditto, ditto, could you please play a tune a little
Alternative nation talent must be on vacation.
You say the underground is metal music now come take some lessons
Learn how to throw down.
You little Weezer, you became a Breeder Filter
Through Gin and Blossom to begin.

We're the alternative to the alternative, heavy is where it's at.

Ahhh!
You become what you despise!

With your fake accent Rancid-smelling ass signing
Phat contracts but you tell me will it last.
Yo let's burn a Bush, paint a Silverchair back to black ask me if I even care.
We'll in Flame your Lips crack your Lemonhead blow up an Oasis Blind Melons
Dead and 120 Minutes of bitches sounding like
Crows Count them all before you start to blow!

We're the alternative to the alternative, heavy is where it's at.

Ahhh!
You become what you despise!

I have this one in my head. Never realized how fitting the lyrics were:


Watch the circle, dehumanize.
Smurf the world, stay outside.
You tread on me and you will find,
That you flirt with death before your time.

Face the music and the time has come!
Into the circle!
Electroviolence.

Violence! Electroviolence.

Keep your distance, subdivide.
Do not enter, conservative type.
Sweaty bodies, bodily harm.
Abuse thy neighbour, thats the charm.

Blood! shed on everyone.
Don't mistake, violence for fun.
Blood! guilty fashion fiend,
What you here for, you don't fit in...!

Take the shot, take the pain.
Rebound! back again,
Uncivilized reaction appeals to me.
No restraints face reality.

Never victim, always vice.
Taking charge, desensitized.
Do unto others, stay unbowed.
You social misfit, you're one of us now.

Violence! Hey! violence!
Electroviolence!!!

"Oh pray for a miracle
But the wishes in the well have all run dry
There's no way for a miracle
It's not the way you live, it's how you'll die..."

About Life

In a world
Where we think
That we've seen
Everything

In a world
Where we think
That we rise above
All things

In a time
That is so fast
You have to run
So you won't get lost

In a time
That is so loud
You have to scream
To get recognised

In a land
Where you must fight
For a little Fragement
Of human right

In a system
That uses war
To spread its spirit
Around the globe

A religion
That uses hate
To plug its message
Into your brain

A revolution
That turns back time
Forgets what we have
Learned to be

I'd like to say
I have to say

You...don't know nothin'
You...don't know nothin' about
You...don't know nothin'
You...don't know nothin' at all

A public
Where shoes do shine
And money beats
Respect for life

In a world
That is cleaned
Of all secrets
That nature kept

A public
Where death's reduced
To be excitement
In late night news

In a time
Where children learn
To ignore the world
Around them

21st Century Schizoid Man

Cats foot, iron claw
Neuro-surgeons scream for more
At paranoia's poison door.
21st century schizoid man.

Blood rack, barbed wire
Politicians funeral pyre
Innocents raped with napalm fire
21st century schizoid man.

Death seed, blind mans greed
Poets starving, children bleed
Nothing he's got he really needs
21st century schizoid man.

Hey, hey, mama, said, the way you move
gon' make you sweat, gon' make you groove
Ah-ah, child, the way you shake that thing
gon' make you burn, gon' make you sting
Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way
watch your honey drip, can't keep away

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, ah, ah, ah

I gotta roll, can't stand still
Got a flamin' heart, can't get my fill
Eyes that shine burnin' red
Dreams of you all through my head

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ahh
Hey, baby, whoa, baby, pretty baby
Darlin', can't ya do me now
Hey, baby, oh, baby, pretty baby
Move the way you're movin', now

Didn't take too long 'fore I found out
what people mean by "down and out"
Spent my money, took my car
Started tellin' her friends she gonna be a star
I don't know, but I been told
a big-legged woman ain't got no soul

Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, ah, ah, ah/yeah

All I ask for, all I pray
Steady-rollin' woman gonna come my way
Need a woman gon' hold my hand
won't tell me no lies, make me a happy man

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ahh
Ooh, ooh-wah, yeah, oh, yeah, gotta move
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Gotta move you, now, babe, babe, move, you move, yeah
Push, push, babe, push, babe, push, babe
Push it, now, push, baby, push, baby, push, move, move
Ooh, yeah, ooh, move
Well-done
I'm gonna get ya groovin', now, gonna get ya groovin', now

Bury me softly in this womb
I give this part of me for you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
In a tomb...in bloom

Down in a hole and I dont know if I can be saved
See my heart I decorate it like a grave
You dont understand who they
Thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now a man
Who wont let himself be

Down in a hole, feelin so small
Down in a hole, losin my soul
Id like to fly,
But my wings have been so denied

Down in a hole and theyve put all
The stones in their place
Ive eaten the sun so my tongue
Has been burned of the taste
I have been guilty
Of kicking myself in the teeth
I will speak no more
Of my feelings beneath

Down in a hole, feelin so small
Down in a hole, losin my soul
Id like to fly but my
Wings have been so denied

Bury me softly in this womb
Oh I want to be inside of you
I give this part of me for you
Oh I want to be inside of you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers (oh I want to be inside of you)
In a tomb...in bloom
Oh I want to be inside...

Down in a hole, feelin so small
Down in a hole, losin my soul
Down in a hole, feelin so small
Down in a hole, outta control
Id like to fly but my
Wings have been so denied

from wiseman Diamond Dave:

I've known fast livin' and I know wine, women
and songs become a long locomotive for me
That train be rollin' not me, I'm going before wine and
women turn into beer, the old lady and TV

and from the legendary Handsome Dick Mantioba, any inspiring rock stars here is some sage advice from the former Dictator's one shot band 'Mantioba's Wild Kingdom:

HAIRCUT AND ATTITUDE
It don't take no melody
To make some music history
You say you wanna rock
And make it to the top
You gotta look good
And you gotta act tough
The wheel of fortune takes a spin
And you keep shouting, "let me in!"
You don't know what to do
I'm givin you a clue
So you can be the next
Supreme Rock Dude
Haircut and an attitude
Haircut and an attitude
Haircut and an attitude
Can you dig this heavy sound?
The sound that brings the ladies round
Five white boys
Bangin on toys
We get paid
For making noise
Haircut and an attitude
Haircut and an attitude
Haircut and an attitude
You say you wanna rock
And make it to the top
You gotta look good
And you gotta act tough
You don't know what to do
I'm givin you a clue
So you can be the next
Supreme Rock Dude
You don't know what to do
I'm givin you a clue
So you can be the next
Supreme Rock Dude
Haircut and an attitude
Haircut and an attitude
Haircut and an attitude

Some of my favorite Ian Gillan lyrics:

No Laughing In Heaven

I used to be a sinner, used to have my cake and eat it
They warned me of my fate, but I was quite prepared to meet it
You'll go to Hell they smiled at me
And told me of the roaring fires
But I was happy living wild
And fueling my own desires
I was a wild man
Drinking, smoking and messing around with women
Lots of women
No, not swimming, women!

I wanna go to Heaven
The place to be is right up there
I wanna go to Heaven
It's gonna be good so I won't despair

I decided to reform and pray
Beg mercy for my soul
I prayed in church
Threw away my bad habits
Prayed out of church
Adopted an entirely different role
I gave my money to the poor until I was poor
But at least I ensured that I would go up there
Instead of down below to the Inferno
Where the evil flames of desire
Burned higher and higher and higher

I'm gonna go to Heaven
Paid my dues so I'm getting in
I'm gonna go to Heaven
It's looking good if I abstain from sin

I knocked on the pearly gates
Neatly side-stepping the long queue
Waved hi to St. Peter
Who checked my card and let me through
I smiled, threw my hands in the air
Laughed and got arrested
They said hey man, you're in the wrong place
Your behaviour is a disgrace
Here we pray every hour, on the hour
Read extracts from the Bible and look solemn'
What, says I, no party?
No party?
Let me out!

Let me out of Heaven
I got it wrong, no I can't stay here
No laughing in Heaven
Let me out, I just can't stay here

Well I ran around in the state of shock and panic
This wan't what I expected
Here was what looked like a bunch of manic depressives
Can I get a transfer, I screamed
But no, once you're in Heaven, you're here for good
The good of your soul, but that's no good for me
If you want to go to Hell you've really got to be bad
Okay, okay, I'll be bad, I'll be REAL bad!
Too late
What do you mean too late?
Too late
No!
In the meantime

Let me out of Heaven
I've got it wrong, no I can't stay here
No laughing in Heaven
Oh God, it's awful here
Going crazy in Heaven
Take me out and let me go to hell
No laughing in Heaven
Don't laugh, this place is Hell

My generation's for sale,
Beats a steady job.
How much have you got?
My generation don't trust no one,
Its hard to blame,
Not even ourselves.
The thing that's real for us is fortune and fame,
All the rest seems like work.
Its just like Diamonds
In sh!t.

I'm high class I'm a wh0re,
Actually both,
Basically I'm a pro,
We've all got our own style
(of baggage),
Why hump it yourself,
You've made me an offer that I can refuse,
(course either way I get screwed)
Counter proposal:
I go home & Jerk off.

It's truly a lie. I'm counterfeit myself,
It's truly a lie. I'm counterfeit myself,

You don't own, you don't own, you don't own,
You don't own what none can buy,
You don't own, neither do I.

High and mighty you say selling out is a sham,
Is that the name of your book?
Push a silver spoon in your ass,
No more holding us down,
(dog. down mutt. Nice mutt)
You're insulted, You can't be bought or sold.
Translation: offer too low.
You don't know what you're worth,
(It isn't much.)
My piano is for sale.
How many times must I sell myself before my pieces are gone?
I'm one of a kind,
I'm designer.

Never again will I repeat myself,
Enough is never enough,
Never again will I repeat myself.

It used to be the plan was: screwing the man
Now its have sex with the man,
(After he buys you ".com" for sale at a low, low price)

It's truly a lie, I'm counterfeit myself,
It's truly a lie, I'm counterfeit myself,
You don't own, you don't own, you don't own me,
You don't own what none can buy,
You don't own
Neither do I

Oh wow. I haven't listened to that song forever!

(blasts Era Vulgaris)

Epicness!

Step On You

You're in my way
You crossed my line
You're in my face
You're on my case
Don't like your style
Don't like your sound
You talk too much
You got no touch, you drive it in the ground
I'm gonna step on you
I'm gonna step on you
I'm gonna step on you
I'm gonna step on you
Don't like your smile
Don't like your clothes
Don't like your hair
And I don't care about your ruby pierced nose
You push too far
You talk too loud
You stay too long
You're in my song but you ain't in my crowd
I'm gonna step on you
I'm gonna step on you
I'm gonna step on you
I'm gonna step on you
You ruin my day and you're wrecking my night
I'm biting my lips because I'm ready to fight
I'm gonna sharpen my spikes
I'm gonna strap on my boots
I'm gonna squash you on sight
I'm gonna step on you
Step-step-step-step
You ruin my day and you're wrecking my night
I'm biting my lips because I'm ready to fight
I'm gonna sharpen my spikes
I'm gonna strap on my boots
I'm gonna squash you on sight
Don't leve no message on my telephone
Cut right through the bull, right to the bone
The snow in your nose and the crack in your brain
It used to be cool, now it's just insane
I'm gonna step on you
Step-I'm gonna step on you-step
Step!

from the Clash:


Now every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the world,
Ends up making payments on a sofa or a girl.
Love 'n hate tattooed across the knuckles of his hands,
Hands that slap his kids around, 'cause they don't understand how,

Death or glory, becomes just another story.
Death or glory, becomes just another story.

'n every gimmick hungry yob digging gold from rock 'n roll,
Grabs the mike to tell us he'll die before he's sold,
But I believe in this and it's been tested by research,
He, who f**ks nuns, will later join the church.

Death or glory, becomes just another story.
Death or glory, becomes just another story.

Well i don't think i'll make it through another day
It's eight o'clock and all ain't well
My brain hurts so much it's startin' to decay
And i'm livin' in my private hell
Didn't somebody tell me this would be so great
Be the best thing i ever had?
How come they never told me 'bout the word "exaggerate"
How'd somethin' so good get so bad?
'cause hey, i gotta know
Am i slow?
Where do i go from here?
Do abc's
And 123's
Mean that much to me, that much to me, me, me, me, me, me, me

Be cruel to your school
'cause you may never get another
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
Be cruel to your school
Just like a sister or a brother
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll

Sing it Alice
I see them walkin' 'round like the livin' dead
Ain't they got nothin' between their ears
How come they don't seem to hear a single word i say?
They ain't the only ones who're bored to tears
Now there must be a better way to educate
'cause this way ain't workin' like it should
Can't they just invent a pill or frozen concentrate
That makes you smarter and taste, mmm, so good
'cause hey i gotta know
What i'll have to show
When i hi-hi-ho it from here
Will i be in pain
Or will i have a brain
Or will i go insane, i've gone insay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ane

'cause hey i gotta know
What i'll have to show
When i hi-hi-ho it from here
Do abc's and 123's
Mean that much to me
That much to me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me

Be cruel to your school
'cause you may never get another
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
Be cruel to your school
Just like a sister or a brother
Be cruel to your school
In the name of rock and roll
