Qualche volta mi chiedo cosa avresti potuto fare se il destino non ti fosse stato avverso.
Qualche volta penso a tutti i grandi del rock che se ne sono andati per la droga, e tu non
sei tra loro.
Qualche volta ascolto il tuo cd e vorrei saper mettere nella mia musica tutta la rabbia che avevi tu.
Qualche volta vorrei sentirmi meno "Stoopid".
Qualche volta noi ti sentiamo "Absent".
Qualche volta... qualche volta... qualche volta... troppe volte...

Lynn is alive!

"Say something for the record, tell the people what you feel! FUCK THE RECORD, AND FUCK THE PEOPLE!!!!"

03   Joy Ride (02:43)

Drivin' fast to live
Not to know
I got my 44
I'm tearin' up the asphalt
Drivin'
My engine just can't take much more
Tryin' to be the one(I have no idea on this one)
I got to beat you down
I gotta lead the pack
When you know I got my gun(drop my guard?)
You know I'm havin' fun
I'm gonna make it back

Gonna hunt you down with my 44
I got my pedal to the floor
Dontcha mess around with my 44

You see me comin' down the line
With my CG's open wide
???
Let my bullets fly
Take a little drink now give it to me
My 44
Get in my seat
Then I hit the line
I see you in my sight
You know I'm gonna take another life

Gonna hunt you down with my 44
I got my pedal to the floor
Don't mess around with my 44

Gonna hunt you down with my 44
I got my pedal to the floor
Don't mess around with my 44
Gonna hunt you down
Said hunt you down
Gonna hunt you down with my 44
Got my pedal to the floor
Dontcha fuckin' mess around

No
No
No, No
No, No
Don't mess around

04   I Jus' Lie (03:56)

I jus lie like your type
I'm tellin you what you want to hear
(well can you really take me there)
Well it's what you need to feel before you spread them legs for me
Although I look your way you start to play those games again
And no I really don't wanna hear it now
Come here, shut up, you think this is real
And I jus lie when I speak, about the sexual prowess I got
(you know I'm not really great in bed)
Ten seconds down about 8 seconds longer than I got for you
Needed some quick relief and all I got was grief again
I guess I shoulda seen it comin now
Shut up, lie down, put ya to the test, how'd ya guess

I Jus Lie
When this choice is not just mine
I Jus Lie
And no I don't make ties that bind
I see those games you play
And I'm wishin you'd go away
There is something I must find
Explain the reason why

I jus lie, and I'm tired of this fuckin eggshell walk
(ya like you did me a favor)
You think for one good screw I'd trust someone like you at all
Myself my own excuse, so sorry you got used again
And of course I'll call ya later, now
Shut up, get out, this one fell short, you wonder why

I just, I just lie, I just, I just , I just lie, I just
I just, I just lie just to fuck you, I just, I just lie

As soon as my dick does your mouth you're going south

05   Stoopid (03:59)

Spray the masses with gunfire
Foreign pigs will live in fear
They never learn
Light the match, flames burn higher
I need to exterminate the queers
My stomach turns
Would not heed your worthless cries
Strike with fear, 'cause I won't wait your misery
Stick your fingers in my eyes
Just like somebody blind by hate
They cannot see

Yes I'm prompted by my own self-doubt
I need to hate them because they're strange
They never learn
I have plucked my own eyes out
I live a life that's ruled by rage, my stomach turns
Powered by ... elders lies
Strike with fear 'cause you know I won't wait your misery
Stick your fingers in my eyes because ...
Just like somebody blind by hate
They cannot see

Spray the masses with gunfire
Foreign pigs will live in fear

Light the match, flames burn higher
I need to exterminate the queers

Strike with fear, no I won't wait your misery
Stick your fingers in my eyes
Just like somebody blind by hate

Fry
No, no because you ...
Fly ... yeah

If you'd open your eyes
Then maybe you can see, yeah ...
A figment of ... closed minds
You know education is the ...
Key
Hate sparks will create fire
Why can't you let them be?
I see your stoopid blind
I know you cannot see

Prompted by my own self-doubt, huh
I need to hate them because they're strange
They never learn
I have plucked my own eyes out, say what
I live a life that's ruled by rage
My stomach turns
Powered by ... elders lies
Strike with fear 'cause I won't wait your misery
Stick your fingers in my eyes because
Just like somebody blind by hate
They cannot see

06   The Box (03:24)

Yesterday
When I was just a boy
In days of youthful hero worship
My kind have been molded by images on the screen
Brought up to emulate the big
Guns

Just another guest on death's best show
The influence cuts deeper than mom knows
Electric waves
The demon's fly

Now could we just be
Bred to kill or DIE

There must be something else
The blame I place on myself
Behind the tired eyes
The tears go uncried

In the Box
Doin' time
In the Box
Just like doin' time
In the Box
Doin' time
In the Box

Now that I'm grown
Abandoned childhood toys
But still what danger
Have I retained
To grab the brass ring
To go in for the kill
And covet the good you know 'dem got for
MURDER

It's just another guest on death's best show
The influence cuts deeper than mom knows
Electric waves
The demon's fly

Now could we just be
Bred to kill or DIE

There got to be something else
The blame I place on myself
Behind tired eyes
The demon's stir
The tears go uncried

In the Box
Doin' time
In the Box
Just like doin' time
In the Box
Doin' time
In the Box

07   Snooze Button (05:05)

Oh yes you hit the snooze button
Don'tcha know you up and fell asleep again
You did not even fight

Well, it's just another song
Talking about how you let them take your rights
Another redundant verse about how you refused to fight and lost
What cost? Your cause has got no champion
How could you hope to win by just complaining
Now it's raining on your parade decisions made could cost you dearly
Not just your money but your freedom
Are you wealthy? Improper choices could be deadly
They took your so-called rights
You did not even fight

Well here's your motherfucking wake up call and there just ain't way around it
Caught you asleep once again, we ain't havin' it
Got freedom for them to do just what they told ya
You missed the train of thought
You refuse to be taught a lesson
Now this is what I'm guessing
You'll be held accountable
Things you didn't want to know
You're stressing
Now with your head that they keep messing
They took your so-called rights
You did not even fight

You had bad dreams but you fell asleep again

While you were busy fucking sleeping
You know your government was creeping
Someone left the door unlocked
You see your life was bought and sold
Yes, to the highest bidder
Left you in sitcom hell
So conviced you're doing well
You sit back, synapses are attacked
American gladiators are the only thing they're giving back
Your dying and in your mind while they keep lying
They took your so-called rights, you better fucking

(Wake Up) Now yes, you hit the snooze button
Don'tcha know you up and fell asleep again (Fight)
They took your so-called rights and again, and again, you fell asleep again
(Wake Up) Now yes, you hit the snooze button
Don'tcha know you up and fell asleep again (Fight)
They took your so-called rights, you did not even fight

No that's no true way
I said: "yeah, your doing what they say!"
Don't you fall asleep today no way

Watch out
(Awake, awake) No that's no true way
(Awake, awake) I said: "yeah, your doing what they say!"
(Awake, awake) Don't you fall asleep today
No way (awake), no way, they've got to pray
(Awake, awake) No that's no true way
(Awake, awake) I said: "yeah, your doing what they say!"
(Awake, awake) Don't you fall asleep today
(Awake) No way (awake)

Now that I've given you a message
you've got a mess but you can salvage
Continue to grow and you'll know that little things in life can make a difference
You gotta beat that politician
Take back those given rights you better fucking

(Wake Up) Now yes, you hit the snooze button
Don'tcha know you up and fell asleep again (Fight)
They took your so-called rights and again, and again you fell asleep again
(Wake Up) Now yes, you hit the snooze button
Don'tcha know you up and fell asleep again (Fight)
They took your so-called rights, you did not even

Fight

They took your so-called rights
You did not even fight

08   Absent (04:44)

Well now it seems more than silence has been broken
And I think I've figured out the the dying lie
Yes the truth is that your dialect is half truth
Another conversation died alone

This is something we created
Yes, well the sufferment's abated
It doesn't have to be a prophecy
We could be both seeking destiny

It's fucking down to us and them
You can decide which one wins
Now's the time, are you the hunter or the hunted?

Absent - Sometimes it feels like it's us against them
Absent, sometimes it feels like their angers are justified
If it feels like I'm absent... from your conversation
Just keep on talking and you'll find out... You're probably right

Now it seems that there are no easy answers
To the same old question I've imposed
What does it mean? Why would you bother asking me?
Like it's something I should know

Just 'cuz they paid me to take it
I guess their money gave me credence
Watch our records soar
As you slow down to buy the accident - SO SICK!!

Know that I'll pull your covers, bitch
Yes I'm fixin' to knock that ego down
Well I might slap you punk ass to the floor
Stupid motherfucker, nothin' but a buster
Still talkin' shit!

Devoid of soul, so ya dig yourself a hole
Take the fun out, I load the gun for you
Incorrect, cause and effect, you've been sold
Live in the wrong, so ya live in the lies
Take the fun, load the gun, incorrect, cause and effect

I'm absent

I don't care
Yes you're probably right

I don't care

09   Deadfall (02:26)

Well, I killed my dad
In a con gone bad
Nearly drank myself to death
But when he died he said Lou had the cake
So I caught a bus headin' west

I saw the numbers running through a small cafe
And I knew I'd find my Uncle Lou
That's when Ed stepped up
He said pick a card
Shape the con before it shapes you

Who sent ya'?
Sam fuckin' Peckinpah
Yeah who sent ya'?

Who sent ya'?
Who sent ya'?
Sam fuckin' Peckinpah
Yeah who sent ya'?

Now I met my uncle for the very first time
And he sent me on a con with Ed
So we came callin' on his girl Diane
A blone girl dressed in red
I guess pigeon dropping was the name of the game
And I had to pay my dues
Well fun time
Family fun was the plan
Shape the con before it shapes you

Who sent ya'?
Sam fuckin' Peckinpah
Yeah who sent ya'?

Who sent ya' baby girl?
Sam fuckin' Peckinpah
Yeah who sent ya'?

Sam Peckinpah tried to choke Eddie out
But he cut him from ear to ear
Then he grabbed old Lou said
"We fuck now"
On his face a twisted jeer
He took old Lou to the same cafe'
Eddie couldn't have been much higher
When he tied him up
It was his intent
To put his head in that deep fryer
Well, Diane told me
I tackled Ed
As we did a little wiggle and dance
When we were done Ed got a hot head
WELL VIVA LA FUCKIN' FRANCE MAN!

Someone tryin' to kill me man?
(They're trying to kill you Eddie)
The fucking eggars(?)

Someone tryin' to kill me man?
(They're trying to kill you Eddie)
The fucking eggars(?)
Guess they may be friends(for Ed)(?)
(All fuckin' summer long sugar)

Who sent you?
Sam fuckin' Peckinpah
Yeah who sent ya'?
Who sent ya' baby girl?
Sma fuckin' Peckinpah
Yeah who sent ya'?

You shape the con or It'll shape you
You shape the con
You shape the con or It'll shape you
You shape the con

Praise fucking God!(?)

10   Get Some (05:43)

11   Tecato (06:20)

Growin' up in broken homes
You find yourself at ten years old
Runnin' drag and startin' fights
But minors hide behind their rights
Start slow with beer and pot
But soon you're bored with what you've got
Try some dope at first for kicks
You'd promised that you'd never fix
Fade away from the path you choose
You stuck your arm
Started to
LOSE

Surround yourself with pain and strife
A downward spiral is your life
Some years later your life's a shell
Still locked inside this living
HELL
Only to cope you leave your house
Now meet the cops your luck's run out
Got no love end up in jail
A few more beefs a five year tail
Prison term
Before too long
Your number's up
Now you are
GONE
(and thrown away the key)

Jails, institutions
and DEATH
(think I'm fucking kidding?)

Now it feels just like a dream
But it's not what it seems
Gotta block out the screams
I'm too tired to defend
Bring my life to an end
This I can't comprehend
But it's coming
Now the needle's in my neck
I know that mine is not
The only life I've wrecked
Now that I know the battle can't be won
Selfishness weighs a ton
Lookin' out for #1
As if my life was so pretty
Now things look shitty
And there's no one to save me from
Fuckin' pain
It burns hot from the inside out
Now there ain't no doubt
How this bout started out

Now they've finally brought me down
Sympathy can't be found
Locking doors the only sound
I've screwed over all who care
It's only fair
They've stripped my soul bare
I can't take it
Now it starts to come on strong
The long arm of the law
Coming down on my head
It's been so long
Since I have felt the sun beating down from above
Without bars on my cage reminding me
That I got screwed up
And I've got no love
From a truck
What the fuck
I'll keep truckin' down
I'm locked in this cell
Kickin' it in hell
Ain't no joke the straight dope started out

(Locking doors the only sound)

Jails, institutions
and DEATH
(think you can take your pick?)

Kickin' dope in a jail cell
You wanna die it feels like hell
Muscles ache you cannot sleep
Stomache ache you cannot eat
Do your time and make parole
Now you're free
Out of this hole
Think you'd learn and start to cope
But from the gate you score some dope

Nothing changes
You start to regress
You're all strung out
Life is a mess
Once again
