2. YOUTH OF AMERICA

Youth of America
Is living in the jungle
Fighting for survival
But there's no place to go
Youth of America
There's pressure all around
The walls are crumbling down
The walls are coming down on you

It is time we rectified this now
We've got to see it now
Got to see it now, now, now

They'll attack you from the right side,
Down the left side,
Down the middle, 'til you don't know who you are
Stay around think it don't really matter
They're trying to put you six feet under the ground

It is time we rectified this now
We've got to feel it now
Got to feel it now, now, now

It is time we rectified this now
We've got to heal it now
Got to heal it now, now, now

Youth of America
Is living in the jungle
Fighting for survival
But there's no place to go
No place to go, no place to go

The rich get richer nd the poor get poorer
And now there's no place left to run
Got to get off this rot
Do you want to be born here again?
I don't want to be born here again
Cos this ain't no existence
Beware of those guys in disguise
We're living in the jungle fighting for survival
Can't wait much longer
Hurry

They'll attack you from the right side,
Down the left side,
Down the middle, 'til you don't know who you are
Stay around think it don't really matter
They're trying to put you six feet under the ground

It is time we rectified this now
We've got to hear it now
Got to hear it now, now, now

Youth of America
Youth of America
Youth, youth, youth, youth, youth

Youth of America
Youth of America
You, you, you, you, you.


3. GLUEY PORCH TREATMENTS (NEW & IMPROVED VERSION)

You learned how to cry
And how to fake you're sorry
You've tasted better boards on the gluey porch
And I laugh.


4. REVOLVE (NEW & IMPROVED VERSION)

Freedom on like stems from walk away.
You gotta hold your time,
You gotta hit it with the right of way.
Maybe black too far for any like the one seen.
In a way it's sane,
Either way it's gotta mean.
Red sister might be chokin'
But I ain't about that kind.
Answer me with the rhythm of a body that was born to lose two times.

Hey big Bodie
He says deny but your for tin lie.
Head my shoulder
Big boat deloves, big boat deny.

They might try to hide
But they have to have some more dead sense.
You might be right
Like a ball in the wind.
Poison dandy lifeforms crime.
Mix both down cross,
Sticky pedal the line.
The flavor might be missin'
But he acts to cross that anyway.
You can bet he can diddle with the promise in the power of another day.

[Chorus]

Two of you sold my wallet.
One of you stole my tie.
Didn't you say that you're watching?
Do or die.
Venomous strange appears.
Three of you standing by.
Didn't you say that you've got it?
Watch me eye.


5. MISSING

[Cows cover]

He had to switch to gin, 'cos jagermeister was giving him the shakes

I'm gone 'cause I'm missing.
I've lost sight 'cause I'm missing.

I can't stay, I can't stay.
I can't stay, I can't stay.
I can't stay, I can't stay.
I can't stay.

I don't care 'cause I'm missing.
I can't try 'cause I'm missing.

I can't stay, I can't stay.
I can't stay, I can't stay.
I can't stay, I can't stay.
I can't stay, I can't stay.

I can't hear 'cause I'm missing.
I'm not right 'cause I'm missing.

I can't stay, I can't stay.
I can't stay, I can't stay.
I can't stay, I can't stay.
I can't stay, I can't stay.


6. LOVELY BUTTERFLIES (NEW & IMPROVED VERSION)

Nasty nature done for meat
Have you cut with all three knives?
Sing light for empty suite
The lovely butterfly

Have you ever only eaten what's alive?
Cut the thing for meat
Skin cooker for the hide
Cooked on the inside

I got a belly full of prime
Crawling through my intestine
Gristle-thick pork chop rot tan
The lovely butterflies.


7. Tipping The Lion (New & Improved Version)

Follow lead, point to my head
We got Dresden, solid dead
I ain't gonna stand, leaking from my hand
Don't like the front of me on a mand

Be still the messagely
Distending a modern tale
By phone line
Might have seen
On read by rhyme

The violence strike and spare
Seems fortified down square
What is the quality reaching low for side
My tears intendedly bonified

You still motor high
Reach sending a modern tease
Right phone line
High voice tone
Forty lee and four why
