Pacifier 06:23
With a face like Alabama A master plan I'm manning My tour de force Leaves little course Around the flames I'm fanning. Feathered words fly my dictums To pacify my victims Not much to say But what I say I say it with conviction Said, child, what have you done? I don't want to see you turn around And make the same mistake again! Said, child, what have you done? I know you're hiding something from me! I'm a snap in the rung I'm a tooth through your tongue I'm pepper in your lungs And I come not from love Not from hate Just the sweet and the sour Malice of fate You can't go wrong You can't go wrong You just You just can't go wrong When there's no wrong or right When there is no other side It's all in your head It doesn't have to hurt You can writhe around your body It'll only make it worse I'll let your feet touch the floor N****r, tell me more! You can cry the cry you want to There ain't no friends outside that door I am the Fire from below I am the Fire from below Schism to schism, heads drop and roll! I am the Fire from below! The Fire from below Hail the Fire from below Schism to schism, heads drop and roll! I am the Fire from below!

I don't really care if your tongue and lips are frozen All of your talk was giving me razor-burn Bite your tongue There's going to be peace on earth I don't want to know if your esophagus is closing Call them on the phone Pound it against the wall Tonight I swear! There's going to be be peace on earth! My word has circulated, My army fed and trained to bite back To prey upon you sedentary fools Because your rules are just your rules are just your rules... Pushing! You're pushing me over! Johnny, are you in trouble again with the law STOP Turn back around STOP Turn back around STOP Turn back around they're coming for you man STOP Climb out the window Down the ladder Take the limo Through the alley Down the stairs There's a woman waiting there STOP I'm tearing off a new page So I can fill it up with my rage We'll soon be led into a new age And you'll behold A new control A new noose Soft enough to keep you whole If you can do without your brain Behold, freak! Control freak! We'll satisfy your every wanting. The pill is for the pain. We told you, we told you, we told you We told you, we told you, we told you! (With your hands to the light, it's your world tonight)

Suck Hard 06:05
Imagination Is running wild I'm you Congratulations You've run the race For two Driven by the sword to die Born to sever Rising blade to the sky Gone forever Suck hard! Suck hard! Suck hard! Suck hard! You roll me over And sell the same As new I'm dreaming sober To make the change See through Digits on the whirlwind eye Melting glaciers Cellphone on the fritz and I'm Gone forever Suck hard! (This is your last and final warning) You've had your warning! Suck hard! (We can't contain you anymore) You were born to Suck hard! (Just like you're sucking on your mama's tit) Suck hard! (Just like baby) It's all in moderation! It's all in moderation this year! It's a plastic condemnation! It's all in moderation this year! And no matter where you go We'll watch you high We'll watch you lower Animals salivating We're on display And it's a shame to let you go But there are rules in place to follow You should lodge a complaint with the NSA

And I'm on your side No reason to get quiet I'm gonna rock and roll you Who cares about the business? Four figures and a heart of gold I never made a sacrifice If I wasn't willing to let it go Hey man, you're famous! You can fish your own waters! You can shut down your haters! You can weigh love in dollars! Stay wise to the game boy! Keep your ear to the wall boy! And when they roll out your carpet! You can burn all your bridges! (I'm in a minor state of panic) Panic? Oh yes sir! Your panic will subside (But I want true might!) True deity genocide! Just sign the dotted line, crooked line Hey man, you're famous! You can fish your own waters! You can shut down your haters! You can weigh love in dollars! Stay wise to the game boy! Keep your ear to the wall boy! And when they roll out your carpet! You can burn all your bridges! My reign's on the rise And rising, rising, rising There it goes! Hey! You're famous! You can fish your own waters! You can shut down your haters! You can weigh love in dollars! Stay wise to the game boy! Keep your ear to the wall boy! And when they roll out your carpet! You can burn all your bridge How many mountains was I unprepared to climb But you blew those mountains away How many years How many tears we all have cried Together Together Together Standing on the sun With the look upon their faces Telling me the truth I never knew the truth Because I was having too much fun Filling out my empty spaces Now I'm sucking on a gun I'll just blame it on a bad...childhood

On a Roll 04:44
And I praise you For the things you can't see I've been forced to lead these boys I lack inspiration And I'm too proud to follow But I got me my gun Gonna gonna have me some fun... I guess I'm on a roll I guess I'm on a roll Conversations With God Almighty Winged soldiers raging forward on white horses And when it's too bright to see We'll go tearing them children Limb by limb! I guess we're on a roll I guess we're on a roll (Alarum) Pulse to flat-line On a dead EKG This ain't what they told me I do believe I've been sold How they played me Like some bent melody Plucking my chords Like some melodic whore I guess they're on a roll I guess they're on a roll I guess they're on a roll I guess they're on a roll (Alarum) I ain't you! I ain't you! I ain't you! You sent me off to die You sent me off to die You sent me off to die

Let Me Down 02:27
The colors of your rainbow Saturate my mind Honey, take your time And I'm gonna take my time The border 'round your breath Has become electrified Let me down Let me down Let me down And I'm lost tonight Let me down Let me down Let me down

Voodoo Mind 04:15
I'm not fighting your fucking war When the bomb squad Is knocking upon my door Suit yourself up You're certified You're just a bag of bones The cost for booty, aye! Baby step inside my voodoo mind You don't have to hide in my voodoo mind Pleasure is no crime in my voodoo mind So baby step inside my voodoo mind My voodoo mind! They're gonna weed out the sensual Until the pleasure's tyrannical They're gonna harpoon the sexual And torpedo our libido Baby step inside my voodoo mind You don't have to hide in my voodoo mind Pleasure is no crime in my voodoo mind We don't have much time, so take your time My voodoo mind Have you read '1984'? It's prophetic! Copacetic! It's pathetic! Never read it... I see the thoughts in your wicked mind! It happens all the time! They're gonna weed out the sensual Until our pleasure's tyrannical They're gonna harpoon the sexual And torpedo our libido Estamos a punto Estamos a punto Estamos a punto Estamos a punto Check the dial on your radio! Check the dial on your radio! Check the dial on your radio! Check the dial on your radio!

Many to Many 04:30
I drank a couple whimsicolas Tickle my liver And met a girl who need a whirly And a whirly I give her But now I pocket what I know I pocket what I know I chug a can of mighta-shoulda-woulda-I-coulda But it's so hard to hide the flavor of inevitable And the curse of what I know The curse of what I know I'm going undercover Undercover is better Better the cover 'cause my lover Has uncovered another And I'm afraid of what she knows I'm afraid of what she knows I tell a little riddle And the riddle gets bigger Bigger the better 'cause the bigger riddle Makes you feel little And I'm afraid of what you know I'm afraid of what you know You're a hot time Giving a cool ride You're a hot time Giving a cool ride Hoolamanna hoolamanna holy shit! You wanna give it all away to get away from it! You better THINK TWICE! THINK TWICE! Boy, you better THINK TWICE! THINK TWICE! I got many many many many many to many more Many many many many many to many more lies, More lies! I got many many many many many to many more Many many many many many to many more lies, More lies! (I got it now, and you'll get it too)

Vine in Vine 05:12
Down in my garden I will say nothing Down in my garden Somebody's waving Tell them I'm okay Here come my woman Her chardonnay's boiling There go my woman When she says nothing She's telling me something Arms intertwined Like a vine in a vine And you've got my attention Let go! You should have let me go! Dragged behind like some cowboy Whose caught up in your reins And there's so many holes in my story Who are we fooling? Who are we fooling? We know...

I'm your savior On that boulevard You're torn apart Like some postcard Take that vice Hold it up in your hand Let it go Let it go Walk the line Between your faith and your plan Melting your icicles Melting your icicles Melting your icicles And you must believe me! I would never leave you! I know that you're a friend of mine! But there was one moment When I thought everything would be alright, Lord If I could just... Everything would be alright Lord if I could just... Everything would be alright Building my magic hour With lines on the page of my tongue Spinning my watches I'm turning them backwards But they can't be rewound Burning my cache with golden matches One by one More open and farther Than my father was to his son If your motor grinds You'll fall behind Everybody loves you Wants to buy your reasons Why you cannot put it down But you know and I know... It isn't true You can put it down But you just don't want to And when it comes time that The whole of losses Towers the sum I'll know in my heart that It's now or never! If your motor grinds Don't shut it down This is my magic hour! This is my magic hour! This is my magic hour! This is my magic hour! I don't ever want to let it go... (Don't let it go)
