Lyrics

The Hands Of Small Children

La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la
Ring around the rosies
Pocket full of posies
Taste the hands of children
Happiness of children

Death lies in little hands of children
La la la la la



Diary Of A Dope Fiend

I peek into the hole,
I struggle for control
The children love the show,
But they fail to see the anguish in my eyes
Fail to see the anguish in my eyes
I scratch around the brim,
I let my mind give in
The crowd begins to grin,
But they seem to scream when darkness fills my eyes
Seem to scream when darkness fills my eyes,
It's no surprise
Fail to see the tragic,
Turn it into magic
My big top tricks will always make you happy,
But we all know the hat is wearing me
My bag is in the hat,
It's filled with this and that
My vision's getting fat,
The rabbit's just a monkey in disguise
Stars and pills and needles dance before our eyes
They will bite the hand if it is slower than
The quickness of their scrutinizing eyes
Fail to see the tragic,
Turn it into magic
My big top tricks will always make you happy,
But we all know the hat is wearing me
Chicanery will always make you happy,
But we all know the hat is wearing me



Kiddie Grinder (Remix)

I am the face of piss and shit and sugar
I do a crooked little dance with my funny little monkey
What I want, what I want is just your children
I hate what I have become to escape what I hated being
Caliopenis envy from your daddy
You're not gonna hear what he don't want to hear
What I say disgusts himHe wants to be me and that scares him
Lets do a funny little dance with my funny little monkey
The black keys
Here is my real head, here is my real head
I wear this fucking mask because you cannot handle me
Here is my real head
They try to blink me not to think me
Don't want to bring me out
I am the rotten teeth, my fists are lined with suckers
My prison skin's an eyesore mirror sketch pad
I am your son
Your dad
Your fag
Your fad
Here is my real head, here is my real head
I wear this fucking mask because you cannot handle me
Here is my real head



Sympathy For The Parents

A: I want to know uh, why it is that all of you seem to have satanic signs all over you, and what is it that makes, does this music cause you to do what you do?
(Twiggy plays with mini cassette recorder)
Marilyn: Is that directed at us or at the parents?
Donahue: That's funny Twiggy.
Marilyn: haha. Uh, question was does the music cause us to do what we do? I think we cause the music to do what it does. I think. I think that moshing is a, a sign of what Christians would call uh, the apocalypse. ("Christians would call uh, the apocalypse" repeated backwards and forwards)



Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas.
Everybody's looking for something.
Some of them want to use you.
Some of them want to get used by you.
Some of them want to abuse you.
Some of them want to be abused.
Sweet dreams are made of this.
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas.
Everybody's looking for something.
I wanna use you and abuse you.
I wanna know what's inside you.
(hold your head up, movin' on.
Keep your head up, movin' on.
hold your head up, movin' on.
Keep your head up, movin' on.
hold your head up, movin' on.
Keep your head up, movin' on.)
Movin' on!
Sweet dreams are made of this.
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas.
Everybody's looking for something.
I'm gonna use you and abuse you.
I'm gonna know what's inside.
Gonna use you and abuse you.
I'm gonna know what's inside you





Everlasting Cocksucker (Remix)

I am the god of fuck,
I am the god of fuck
Virgins sold in quantity,
Herded by heredity
Red neck burn out mid west mind,
Who said date rape isn't kind?
Porno nation, evaluation
What's this time for segregation
Libido, libido fascination,
Too much oral defecation
White trash get down on your knees,
Time for cake and sodomy
Time for cake and sodomy
I am the god of fuck
I am the god of fuck
VCR's and Vaseline, TV-fucked by plastic queens
Cash in hand and dick on screen, who said god was ever clean?
Bible-belt round Anglo-waste,
Putting sinners in their place
Yeah, right, great if you're so good
Explain the shit stains on your face
White trash get down on your knees,
Time for cake and sodomy
Time for cake and sodomy



A: Say fuck Frankie
B: Fuck Frankie, fuck Frankie, fuck Frankie
Fuck fuck
A: Frankie
B: Frankie
A: Say it
B: Fuck Frankie
A: Say it again
B: Fuck Frankie, fuck Frankie, fuck, fuck Frankie, fuck Frankie
(Then repeated backwards and forwards)

Dance Of The Dope Hats (Remix)

I peek into the hole,
I struggle for control
The children love the show,
But they fail to see the anguish in my eyes
Fail to see the anguish in my eyes
I scratch around the brim,
I let my mind give in
The crowd begins to grin,
But they seem to scream when darkness fills my eyes
Seem to scream when darkness fills my eyes,

Fail to see the tragic,
Turn it into magic
My big top tricks will always make you happy,
But we all know the hat is wearing me
My bag is in the hat,
It's filled with this and that
My vision's getting fat,
The rabbit's just a monkey in disguise
Stars and pills and needles dance before our eyes
They will bite the hand if it is slower than
The quickness of their scrutinizing eyes
Fail to see the tragic, Turn it into magic
My big top tricks will always make you happy,
But we all know the hat is wearing me
Chicanery will always make you happy,
But we all know the hat is wearing me




White Trash (Remix)

Virgins sold in quantity,
African-American heredity.
I'm playin' my guitar and I'm feelin' fine.
Why are all the niggers in the unemployment line?

White Trash get down on your knees;
Time for cake and sodomy.
White Trash get down on your knees;
Time for cake and sodomy.
Teenage girl, a teenage queen;
'Til she's on video -- A PORNO queen!
She likes to give head.
She likes it mean.
That's why she's my little queen.
Yeah....
White boy tryin' to get some behind
Who says date rape isn't kind?
Who's he gonna goad?
Who's he gonna please?
It don't matter,
As long as she's on her knees

Rock 'N' Roll Nigger

And the world spreads its legs....
And the world spreads its legs
For another fucking star!
'Cause I AM the all-american Antichrist.
I was made in america,
And america hates ME for what I am.
I am YOUR shit.
You should be ashamed of what you have eaten.
I'm a rock 'n' roll nigger!
Baby was a black sheep.
Baby was a whore.
Baby's gotten big,
And baby's getting bigger.
Baby got something.
Baby want more.
Baby, baby, baby was a rock 'n' roll nigger.
How do you like the world around you?
Do you like what you see?
How do you like the world around you?
Ready to be....

Outside of society,
Waiting for me.
Outside of society
Is where I wanna be.
Baby was a black sheep.
Baby was a whore.
Baby got big,
And baby's getting bigger.
Baby got a gun,
Got her finger on the trigger.
Baby, baby, baby was a rock 'n' roll nigger.
Nigger. Rock 'n' roll nigger.
I'm a rock 'n' roll nigger.
This is your world in which we grow,
And we will grow to hate you.
We will grow to hate you.
We will grow.
We will grow.
We will grow to hate you.
We will grow.
We will grow.
We will grow to hate you.
1 2 3 4!
I was lost in the valley of pleasure.
I was lost in the infinite sea.
I was lost and begging for pleasure.
And this world is waiting for me.
Jimi Hendrix was a nigger.
Jesus Christ and grandma, too.
Brian Warner (what a nigger!)
Nigger, nigger, nigger nigger nigger!

Yeah! Yeah! Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!
FUCK YOU!
