1. INTRO

(Instrumental)


2. SKIN O' MY TEETH

I had wrists donning slits
Flowing constantly
My broken body in a wreck
Wrapped around a tree
A crosswalk hit and run
The finish line for me
People clutter in the gutter
Take a look and see

[Chorus]
No escaping pain
You belong to me
Clinging on to life
By the skin o' my teeth

My blood flows through the streets
Deluge from the wounds
Empty jars of sleeping pills
On the dresser in my room
My wet brain neighbor cranes
His neck to see in time
The white lights a train
Bearing down on me

[Chorus]

I won't feel the hurt
I'm not trash any longer
That that doesn't kill me
Only makes me stronger
I need a ride to the morgue
That's what 911 is for
So, tag my toe and don't forget
Ooh to close the drawer

[Chorus]


3. HANGAR 18

Welcome to our fortress tall
Take some time to show you around
Impossible to break these walls
For you see the steel is much too strong
Computer banks to rule the world
Instruments to sight the stars

Possibly I've seen to much
Hangar 18 I know too much

Foreign life forms inventory
Suspended state of cryogenics
Selective amnesia's the story
Believed foretold but who'd suspect
The military intelligence
Two words combined that can't make sense

Possibly I've seen to much
Hangar 18 I know too much


4. WAKE UP DEAD

I sneak in my own house, it's four in the morning
I've had too much to drink, said I was out with the boys
I creep in my bedroom, and slip into bed
I know if I wake her, I'll wake up dead

I wonder... will she find out about the others?
Other lovers... Diana

Wake up dead, you die
Wake up dead and buried
Wake up dead, you die
Wake up dead


5. RECKONING DAY

I like the way that I make you itch
And all the reasons I give you to bitch
And how I make you wanna scream in pain
And feel your life is just a losing game

I like the way that you let me in
The way you look when the walls cave in
I like the way that your stomach knots
And how you cry for it all to stop

I like the way that you fool yourself
And make believe there's nobody else
I like the way that you stand in line
And beg salvation from the empty skies

Don't want no revenge
Ain't no pay back time
It ain't called getting even
Here comes the reckoning day

I like the things that you try to fake
And your face when I see you break
And that you say you will pray for me
You realize you are prey for me

I like the way you stay on attack
No matter what, I keep coming back
And how you try to hold me down
But you end up driven to the ground


6. ANGRY AGAIN

The more of you that I inspect
The more of me I see reflect
The more I try to read your lips
The more the mask you're wearing rips

But when I seek out your voice
My ears are overcome with noise
You show and tell with greatest ease
Raving impossibilities

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry ow

And when the story takes a twist
If folds like a contortionist
Slight of hand and quick exchange
The old tricks have been rearranged

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry

The searing of the sinew
My body fights for air
The ripping of the tissue
My lungs begin to tear
Gravity's got my bones
It pulls my flesh away
The steam finally dissipates
I make out my sweaty face

Association that I choose
Game I inevitably lose
Governed by laws set up by me
Fracture it's jaw to let me be
A cut-out cardboard condo maze
Filled with an insubordinate race
Irrational youths stop to stare
As music rubber hosed the air

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry again
And again and again, again

Engaged in crime I grasp my throat
Enraged my mind starts to smoke
Enforce a mental overload
Angry again, angry again, angry ow


7. GUITAR SOLO + A TOUT LE MONDE

(Instrumental)

Don't remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it'd cost
My life passed before my eyes
I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans denied

So as you read this know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile when you think of me
My body's gone that's all

Tout le monde
Tout mes amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free

If my heart was still alive
I know it would surely break
And my memories left with you
There's nothing more to say
Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living are scarred

Tout le monde
Tout mes amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free

So as you read this know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile when you think of me
My body's gone that's all

(x2)
Tout le monde
Tout mes amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free


8. IN MY DARKEST HOUR

In my hour of need, no, you're not there
And though I reached out for you, you wouldn't lend a hand
Through the darkest hour, your grace did not shine on me
Feels so cool, very cold, no one cares for me

Did you ever think I get lonely, did you ever that I needed love?
Did you ever think to stop thinking you're the only that I'm thinking of?
You'll never know how hard I tried, to find my space and satisfy you too

Things will be better when I'm dead and gone
Don't try to understand, knowing you, I'm probably wrong
But oh, how I lived my life for you, 'til you turn away
Now, as I die for you, my flesh still crawls as I breathe your name
All these years, I thought I was wrong, now I know it was you
Raise your head, raise your face, your eyes
Tell me who you think you are

I walk, I walk alone to the Promised Land
There's a better place for me, but it's far, far away
Everlasting life for me, in a perfect world
But I gotta die first
Please God, send me on my way

Time has a way of taking time, loneliness is not only felt by fools
Alone, I call to ease the pain, yearning to be held by you
Alone, so alone, I'm lost, consumed by the pain
The pain, the pain... won't you hold me again?
You just laughed, ha ha, you bitch
My whole life is work built on the past
The time has come when all things shall pass
This good thing passed away


9. TRAIN OF CONSEQUENCES

I'm doing you a favor as I'm taking all your money
I guess I should feel sorry, but I don't even trust me
There's bad news creeping up and you feel a sudden chill
How do you do? My name is Trouble, I'm coming in for the kill
In for the kill, and you know I will

Set the ball a-rolling, I'll be clicking out the miles
On the train of consequences, my boxcar life o' style
My thinking is derailed, I'm tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences, there ain't no turning back

No horse ever ran as fast as the money that you bet
I am blowin' on my cards and I play them to my chest
Life's fabric is corrupt, shot through with corroded thread
As for me, I hocked my brains, packed my bags and headed west
Hocked my brains, headed west

Set the ball a-rolling, I'll be clicking out the miles
On the train of consequences, my boxcar life o' style
My thinking is derailed, I'm tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences, there ain't no turning back

Set the ball a-rolling, I'll be clicking out the miles
On the train of consequences, my boxcar life o' style
My thinking is derailed, I'm tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences, there ain't no turning back
Set the ball a-rolling, I'll be clicking out the miles
On the train of consequences, my boxcar life o' style
My thinking is derailed, I'm tied up to the tracks
The train of consequences, there ain't no turning back


10. SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION

You take a mortal man, and put him in control
Watch him become a god, watch people's heads a-roll
Heads a-roll, a-roll

Just like the Pied Piper, who led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes, swaying to the Symphony of Destruction

Acting like a robot, its metal brain corrodes
You try to take its pulse, before the head explodes
Head explodes, explodes

Just like the Pied Piper, who led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes, swaying to the Symphony
Just like the Pied Piper, who led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes, swaying to the Symphony of Destruction

The earth starts to rumble, world powers fall
A-warring for the heavens, a peaceful man stands tall
A-tall, a-tall

Just like the Pied Piper, who led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes, swaying to the Symphony
Just like the Pied Piper, who led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes, swaying to the Symphony
Swaying to the Symphony of Destruction


11. PEACE SELLS + VICTORY

Whadda ya mean I don't believe in God?
I talk to Him every day
Whadda ya mean I don't support your system?
I go to court when I have to
Whadda ya mean I can't get to work on time?
Got nothin' better to do
Whadda ya mean I don't pay my bills?
Why do you think I'm broke, huh?

If there's a new way, I'll be the first in line
But it better work this time

Whadda ya mean I hurt your feelings?
I didn't know you had any feelings
Whadda ya mean I ain't kind?
I'm just not your kind
Whadda ya mean I couldn't be the President of the United States of America?
Tell me something, it's still "We, the people", right?

If there's a new way, I'll be the first in line
But it better work this time

Can you put a price on peace?

Peace, peace sells
Peace, peace sells

Peace sells, but who's buyin'?
Peace sells, but who's buyin'?
Peace sells, but who's buyin'?

Peace sells, but who's buyin'?
Peace sells, but who's buyin'?
No, no no no
Peace sells

---------------------------------------------

Now, one day I started telling everyone that
"Killing Is My Business.." and I was hung like a Martyr
For "Looking Down The Cross" my "Skull Beneath The Skin"
Prophesied "Last Rites/Loved To Death" my friends
Then I started seeing "Bad Omens" in my head
"Good Mourning/Black Friday" will I "Wake Up Dead"
If I "Ain't Superstitious" then this won't mean a Thing
But some crazy shit has happened since "The Conjuring"

Had fingers in my eyes, had needles in my veins
A knife right through my heart, I am a victory

Came "Anarchy" to "Set The World A Fire"
Pain of "Hook In Mouth", "In My Darkest Hour"
Corruption of the world "Peace Sells... But Nobody's Buying"
Ignorant Religion "Holy Wars" and the dying, "Tornado" nearly got me by the "Skin O' My Teeth"
"This Was My Life", "Foreclosure Of My Dreams"
May the past "Rust In Peace" In "Hangar 18"
And "Countdown To Extinction"
Just be a bad dream

13. PARANOID

Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
people think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me occupy my brain?
Oh yeah

I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me us so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late


14. ANARCHY IN THE UK

Right now
I am an anti-Christ
And I am an anarchist
Don't know what I want, but I know how get it
I want to destroy, possibly ?

'Cause I want to be anarchy, no dog's body

Anarchy for the U.S.A.
It's coming sometime, it may be
I give a wrong time, stop a traffic light
Your future dream is a shopping spree

'Cause I want to be anarchy, in the city

Of many ways to get what you want
I use the best, I use the rest
I use the enemy
I use anarchy

'Cause I want to be anarchy, it's the only way to be

Is this the M.P.L.A.?
Is this the U.D.A.?
Is this the I.R.A.?
I thought it was the U.S.A., or just another country
And other cunt-like tendencies
'Cause I want to be anarchy, 'cause I want to be
Anarchy, you know what I mean?

'Cause I want to be anarchist, again I'm pissed

Destroy!
