Oh no don't light that cigarette and go Down to the Garbo so neon and popular They're handsome and rich and they know where to process But clones don't have to be so cold So cold

President sucks on a pork rind Dictator's wife does the bump and grind Guess I'll do up another line The rules they don't apply to me The rules they don't apply The rules they don't apply Women will rule over men 'Cept for me - I'll rule over them And everybody's gotta be sweet "Cept for me - I got a right to tweet And you gonna be my freak You gonna be my freak The medium is the message Money makes it dance Love is the product The joke is in your pants A love like the nasty dry cat tongue licks against the jewels angst Sho' 'nuff broken in a world of cloised noise and glass ashtrays Our landscape was like the blinking lights on a Vegas street in search of a meal But I love you more than paradise baby -- you're a cadillac amongst humans The medium is the message Money makes it dance Love is the product The joke is in your pants

Physical life was fucked from the start I need a new liver and I need a new heart Eddie Vedder's head on a raspberry tart 600 channes and a shopping cart President Groovy lobs another bomb I'm gonna help Prince make a CD-ROM Sitting in the dark with my modem and my gun We're going to stay in tonight Rosie and make that data highway run I need sex and I need it now I call you a slut and I call you a cow You call me a pig and you call me a dick Both of us are right - both or us are sick

You're sweet like a rose And I love your new clothes And I'm pilled with new hope As you laugh at my patter Am I charming in mute? Or do you prefer me in Mexican? I've a 40 gun salute babe Were you always this feminine Gun cereal Makes you wake up and wonder Gun cereal From the people who hate themselves Gun cereal Wake up and kill Gun cereal Kill kill kill kill Yes I've been here before I once yelled at your mother This is all too much torture As I reach for the phone Would you like to order out? Yes I know one who delivers And it always sends shivers All up and down my spine Gun cereal Makes you wake up and wonder Gun cereal From the people who hate themselves Gun cereal Wake up and kill Gun cereal Kill kill kill kill It's better than a pill Wake up and kill Troubles getting bigger Pour some milk upon the trigger Fortify your soul with a big big bowl Fortify your soul with a big big bowl Fortify your soul with a big big bowl Fortify your soul with a big big bowl

God is sad I feel bad You called my bluff I broke some stuff I shoot you up I tear your hole I fuck things up Destroy your soul Don't you tell me to do my homework! I don't want to do my homework! All my life you fed me Christ You made me cry -- you sacrificed I wanna be the king of the pigpen I wanna be the eater of sins I wanna be the one that they pray to I wanna go back where it begins I wanna be the dick in the pussy I wanna be the fetus inside I want somebody to hold me I wanna be the victim who... DIED! I WANNA BE SOMEONE!

In the year 455 tp, Planet Earth began jettisoning raw sewage into outer space. Inhabited by fecal clouds, the perilously unbalanced ecosystem with its rampant overpopulation and powerful new strains of bacteria left the peoples of the earth no other choice than to employ NASTY -- Natural Aerosol Space To You -- to propel the hapless pods of waste at high velocity towards the sun. This process is disrupted by NASTY employee R.U. Sirius LaTrine, acting on the fiber obstruct line communications instructive from Sim1 3Arm received via commodem in his corporate toilette, programs the waste out of its collision course with the center of the Earth's solar system using the stars gravity to boomerang the pods far into the Johnian galaxy. The waste product pelts the dead planet John with enough raw materials and adaptable bacterias to turn the dead planet into a thriving ecosphere. In this private habitat A whirlpool of fecal matter trying to develop Trying to survive It comes from us And it's every parasite you earthlings have ever created Impossible to destroy Because it's everything you haven't taken care of Where are you gonna put Your guilt Come here Fearful one Lifetimes of retention must unleash I can relieve you from the pathetic guilt clots in your rectum I am the Cyberpiss Goddess Submit to the virtue And become true to your asshole Together we must start a bowel movement A divine commitment to secretion And dedicated worship to your colon Drop to your knees Taste my liquid flesh in your porcelain shrine Feel the vibration of my voice agitate your asshole I am transcending your existence. Let it out Let it all out Purge in my potty OUT! Save your soul Drink from my bowl Save your soul Drink from my bowl Welcome Come right in You can't afford to miss this Step right up!

IOU Babe 05:53
Afternoon of the living deadpan (dead Pan) Don't forget to bring your bedpan We're telling jokes that kill Don't forget to bring your pills Took the lawyers several months just to write an i.o.u. babe It takes so many horrible workers just to build a single beat It takes so many horrible lovers just to put me on my feet Should I write an i.o.u. babe We're all born to original debt Write it off to appropriation What you see is what you get Afternoon at the Holiday Inn All the bands are named MONDO Vanilli They're playing songs to make you relax We're laughing in the back Took the chauffeur several hours just to write an i.o.u. babe (How you gonna baste the turkey if you don't have any stuffing!) It takes so many well paid servants just to find a decent place to eat It takes so many local hookers to keep me from falling asleep Should I write an i.o.u. babe or can you find the joke And when you're done with the lawsuit Be sure to slaughter the goat god
