Ah no what's wrong with me, I got no vision to see
I was the target of a notion of submission see
Oh yeah they needed me, yeah I was the target see
They tried to stick a dead body inside of me
Need no need no alibi
Honestly, I tell no lies
Wanted to stick an office worker inside of me
But I kept breaking free they could not capture me
I pulled maneuvers that were close to savage see
Bad bad
They tried to stick a dead body inside of me
Bad bad
Come again I tell no lies
So now you understand I was a wanted man
The opposition and the bug of a shing hand
But ah no this I see there's nothing wrong with me
There's no deadbeat regime rider inside of me
Need no need no alibi
Honestly, I tell no lies
Tried to stick an office worker inside of me
Need no need no alibi
Honestly, I tell no lies
Wanted nothing stuck in me
Bad bad
The tried to stick a dead body inside of me
Bad bad
Wanted nothing stuck in me

Two-Timing Touch And Broken Bones
It's official
Full judicial
Ends in physical
This I know
Best keep quiet
You don't listen to me anyway
You're gonna lose and it's gonna show
It's far too late to avoid it so
Oh what's that sum
It added up to nothing cause you're much too dumb
Two-timing touch and broken bones [x4]
Bad decision
Repetition
Should you listen
Or let it go
Uh
Best say something
When you're thinking that you'll get it back
But it's too late to avoid it so
It's far too late and I gotta know
Oh what's that sum
It added up to nothing cause you're much too dumb
Two-timing touch and broken bones [x8]

Walk Idiot Walk
Well is it true what they say about it
They say it's new but I have to doubt it
And then they tell you everything about it
Had enough
I got some people saying this way
I got some people saying that way
I got some people saying there's no way
Ain't it tough
See the idiot walk
See the idiot talk
See the idiot chalk up his name on the blackboard
See the robot walk
See the robot talk
See the robot write up his name on the ballot
They say this is all I need to get by
The truth is baby it's a lie
Well is it true what they say about it
You oughtta do what I do and doubt it
He won and now he's gonna do something about it
Ain't it sad
And if you don't wanna feel like a putz
Collect the clues and connect the dots
You'll see the pattern that is bursting your bubble
And it's Bad
See the idiot walk
See the idiot talk
See the idiot chalk up his name on the blackboard
They say this is all I need to get by
The truth is baby it's a lie
If we review the winning combination
Body at work and a mind on vacation
Who had the brain where it started to sink in
It was you
You've seen the idiot walk
See the idiot talk
But you never learned nothing and nothing isn't over
See the robot walk
See the robot talk
Still you never learned nothing and nothing isn't over
They say this is all I need to get by
The truth is baby it's a lie
They say it's new but I have to doubt it
And then they tell you everything about it
Had enough
I got some people saying this way
I got some people saying that way
I got some people saying there's no way
Ain't it tough
See the idiot walk
See the idiot talk
See the idiot chalk up his name on the blackboard

No Pun Intended
So you look for authenticity
But I can see what it is bothering me
The kind you want from long way back in time
It's been disposable since 79'
I never wanted this to end
Good with transmission but too lazy to send
Not going down no in no history
You're going down because of me
A lot of cause to be alarmed
A solid chance of an upcoming harm
Put up with me or I put you away
So I ask what have we learned here today
I never wanted it to stop
So I gave notice and I moved to the top
Your opinion never weighed a ton
And your talking never hurt anyone
And now it's time to see what you got from me
But full understanding can't be guaranteed
You say we had our fill but I move for the kill
I keep on doing it til' I get everybody everywhere
People are people and they're never scared away
I say
Ten dead but no pun
So you look for authenticity
Only to find what you wanted in me
You had a function long long time ago
Had a function but the thinking was slow
I never wanted this to end
Good with transmission but too lazy to send
Not going down no in no history
You're going down because of me
But I can see what it is bothering me
The kind you want from long way back in time
It's been disposable since 79'
I never wanted this to end
Good with transmission but too lazy to send
Not going down no in no history
You're going down because of me
A lot of cause to be alarmed
A solid chance of an upcoming harm

You're going down because of me

A Little More For Little You
You'll never get it right
They got a hundred lies for you
And when they pass them out
You gotta give or take a few
And be just the same
A head in the crowd but behind the game
Oh well, you never can tell
Such a clever kid
But I see
What's wrong with you-It's all you ever did
Take lies and believe them true (too)
Knew it all along
Another act and a
Truth gone wrong
Oh no
It ain't my Hollywood
I went on strike when the union said I would
Had a sign in my hand cause
The times were no good
And all this time all they ever told me
Too was to get a little lie to ring a little true I went
On strike when the union said I should
Had a sign in my hand cause the times were no good
And all this time all they
Ever told me too was to get a little more for little you
And maybe you're alright
And maybe I don't have a clue
Yeah, maybe black is white
And maybe black is white too
But it's all the same
You don't get the picture your getting framed
You took the bait and now it's too late
You didn't turn out right
Just look at you
You had the biggest plans
But no way
To carry through
It was all an act
And now you can't stick to the facts
Oh no
It ain't my Hollywood
I went on strike
When the union said I would
Had a sign in my hand cause the times were no good
And all this time all they ever told me
Too was to get a little lie to ring a little true
You spent your time just like they said you should now
Those marks on your face just don't look any good
And all the time all that they told you to was get a little more for your little you
They got a hundred lies for you
And when they pass them out
You gotta give or take a few
And be just the same
A head in the crowd but behind the game
Oh well, you never can tell
Such a clever kid
But I see
What's wrong with you-It's all you ever did
Take lies and believe them true (too)

B Is For Brutus
Hear them saying that a lot is a lot
You think it's all that matters
You've done your math well
You checked the figures
You've done your math tell
Who is the bigger
Man can't explain it but you got a hunch
Well, that's always something
Climb up the ladder
Step up a notch
Climb up the ladder then
See what you got
But if you do it, do it good, Brutus
Real good!
Like a little man should!
Did your homework and you worked the mob
Because it's all you can do
Tried for a lot still you have a little
What happened mister you couldn't figure
Out of the rut you still can't get it right
Can't get a lot for a little?
You keep on trying and you end up in the middle
Had an enigma ended up with a riddle
But if you do it, do it good, Brutus
REAL GOOD
Like a little man SHOULD
Rewind and look at what you got
Had ambition but you lost the plot
Judas Brutus Quisling time has come to do
What's expected of you
You think it's all that matters
You've done your math well
You checked the figures
You've done your math tell
Who is the bigger
Man can't explain it but you got a hunch
Well, that's always something
Climb up the ladder
Step up a notch
Climb up the ladder then
See what you got
But if you do it, do it good, Brutus
Real good!
Like a little man should!
Did your homework and you worked the mob
Because it's all you can do
Tried for a lot still you have a little
What happened mister you couldn't figure
Out of the rut you still can't get it right
Can't get a lot for a little?
You keep on trying and you end up in the middle
Had an enigma ended up with a riddle
But if you do it, do it good, Brutus

Diabolic Scheme
Alive!
Dead!
I was inside your head
Had time well, spent, I got your mind well bent
Snuck back into shade
Oooooooo ooooooo
You searched the globe for them perfect looks
And you searched for answers in all your books
And finally by diabolic ascent here I am
Said it's just a diabolic
A diabolic scheme
Diabolic scheme [x2]
That's me all right like purity white, and like viciousness black
I give a little then I take it back
Can you take it?
Oooooooooooooooooo can you take it? Yeah!!!
Oooooooooo
So what's the attraction? The suckers sing
Profolic depth or static cling?
Well from greatness to greatness is where I span
You have me for a moment grab on while you can
Said it's just a diabolic
A diabolic scheme
Diabolic scheme [x2]
Diabolic
Diabolic scheme
Ooooo, oo, ooooo
Ooooo, oo, ooooo
Thank you!

Missing Link
If you give up too recently and follow every whim
loose your mind before it could even begin
missing link it might be what you got, so won't you give it a shot
So you do it all the same and you do it all again
you wake up in the morning and you ain't got a friend
your boss is coming down on you and you can't pay the rent and then...
back into trouble again
Missing link has got you beaten,battered,bruised
if you had a problem now it's two
missing link he took you down a notch so won't you give it a shot
You're always under pressure
it's harder to be sane when
you wake up and you realize that every day's the same
you can't go back to work and now you know just who to blame,ain't it a shame?
back into trouble again
Missing link I know you tried to cut him loose
but missing link is still a part of you
think you lost him but it ain't exactly showing
got you by the neck and now there ain't no way of knowing
pretend you got a will but you know just where it's going
Missing link has got you standing on the brink
left the world to rot and to stink
left the world you pick up the pieces of the puzzle
And now you get a lot of work done but you don't get a cent
you wake up in the morning and do it all again
your landlords coming down on you and you can't pay the rent and then...
back into trouble again
loose your mind before it could even begin
missing link it might be what you got, so won't you give it a shot
So you do it all the same and you do it all again
you wake up in the morning and you ain't got a friend
your boss is coming down on you and you can't pay the rent and then...
back into trouble again
Missing link has got you beaten,battered,bruised
if you had a problem now it's two
missing link he took you down a notch so won't you give it a shot
You're always under pressure
it's harder to be sane when
you wake up and you realize that every day's the same
you can't go back to work and now you know just who to blame,ain't it a shame?

Love In Plaster
I really thought
That we had something moving faster
Than love in plaster.
I really thought
That we had something growing stronger
But it grew no longer.
I thought this time...
Yeahhhh.
I really thought
That we had something set in motion
More than foul devotion.
I really thought
That we had something out of the ordinary
More than stationary.
I thought this time...
What we had you and I!
Said I'm losing my mind
Yeah I got bit all the time
And I'm better off dead
Cause it was all in my head
Now it's all lost
It's all gone
Don't I know it
I really thought
That we had some-thing...More than a...
BORE!!!!
I really thought
That we had something more than a violation
Of my imagination
I thought this time...
What we had you and I
Said I'm losing my mind
Yeah I got bit all the time
And I'm better off dead
Cause it was all in my head
Now it's all lost
It's all gone
Don't I know it
And I'm better off dead!!!
I really thought it could work out
I learned it couldn't cos somehow
We couldn't get along..We wouldn't get along
A little something on the side
Would make you feel more worthwhile
You think..I won't be long...you couldn't be more wrong.
I thought this time..
What we had
You and I
Said I'm losing my mind
Yeah I got bit all the time

Dead Quote Olympics
Can't make an omelette without breaking an egg
And I can't make a headache if I don't aim at the head
You had enough of their thoughts have your own
Then you wouldn't have to be such a clone
That just won't get you nowhere, you thought it would?
THE DEAD QUOTE OLYMPICS
This time you've really got something it's such a clever idea
But it doesn't mean it's good 'cause you found it at the library
Yes they were smart but they are dead
And you're repeating all that they said
You know it don't make you clever like you thought it would
THE DEAD QUOTE OLYMPICS
It's on!
You won!
I'm done!
You didn't read between the lines so it won't do you any good it's true
And that moment that you live for, it doesn't live for you
When weekends set standard and pace
We are all showered in books and berets
And that will just get us nowhere, who thought it would?
And I can't make a headache if I don't aim at the head
You had enough of their thoughts have your own
Then you wouldn't have to be such a clone
That just won't get you nowhere, you thought it would?
THE DEAD QUOTE OLYMPICS

Antidote
Bitter taste
In your mouth
It's too late to get it out
Everytime
I'm around you
Try to leave but
I'll be standing in your way
You want antidote I got the poison
Second try
To say goodbye
Kick the habit but
I'll be standing in your way
You want antidote I got the poison
In your mouth
It's too late to get it out
Everytime
I'm around you
Try to leave but
I'll be standing in your way
You want antidote I got the poison
Second try
To say goodbye
Kick the habit but
I'll be standing in your way
You want antidote I got the poison
