FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME
VERSE:
DESPITE ANY PATH YOU CHOOSE
TURNS OUT YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE
THE FUTURE LOOKS BLEAK AND STARK
HOW ARE YOU GOING TO LEAVE YOUR MARK
WILL THE PATH YOU CHOOSE
MAKE THE SIX O'CLOCK NEWS
CHORUS:
WILL THINGS EVER BE THE SAME
AFTER YOUR FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME
WILL ANYONE REMEMBER YOUR NAME
AFTER YOUR FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME
VERSE:
T.V . AND MOVIES TELL YOU HOW IT'S DONE
JUST NEED A VICTIM AND A GUN
EVEN IF ONE'S LIFE IS A BIG ZERO
A SOCIOPATH CAN BECOME A MEDIA HERO
KILL SOMEONE IN A FIT OF RAGE
WITH SOME LUCK, YOU'LL MAKE THE FRONT PAGE
CHORUS;
VERSE:
SERIAL KILLER WANTS TO MAKE A NAME
SHATTER LIVES ARE NEVER THE SAME
NO REMORSE OR GUILT IS CARRIED
JUST WANT TO KNOW WHERE THE BODIES ARE BURIED
AFTER NORMAL LIVES HAVE BEEN SHOOK
GOING TO SELL THE MOVIE RIGHTS AND THE BOOK
CHORUS:

TRENCH COAT HERO
03:27
|
|||
|
TRENCHCOAT HERO
VERSE: GOT MY TRENCHCOAT, BOMBS, AND GUN
NOW IT’S TIME TO HAVE SOME FUN
UNARMED TARGETS, I WILL ATTACK
BECAUSE THEY CAN’T FIGHT BACK
COURAGE IS SOMETHING THAT I LACK
DON’T MIND SHOOTING PEOPLE IN THE BACK
CHORUS: WHEN YOUR LIFE IS LESS THAN ZERO
YOU CAN BE A TRENCHCOAT HERO
GET YOUR FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME
AND EVERYONE WILL REMEMBER YOUR NAME
VERSE: WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE ANY BALLS
GOT TO SHOOT PEOPLE DOWN IN THE HALLS
IN A WARPED MIND, IT IS COOL
TO TRY TO BLOW UP THE SCHOOL
WHEN YOUR MORALS ARE LESS THAN ZERO
THE MEDIA WILL MAKE YOU A TRENCHCOAT HERO.
CHORUS:
VERSE: IF THE CONSEQUENCES, YOU CAN’T FACE
SPLATTER YOUR BRAINS ALL OVER THE PLACE
WHEN LIFE IS CONSIDERED SO CHEAP
MAYBE HELL IS WHERE YOU SHOULD SLEEP
BECAUSE OF THE FAME THAT YOU GOT
MAYBE THE MEDIA SHOULD HAVE BEEN SHOT
CHORUS:
|

SOCIOPATH
02:27
|
|||
|
SOCIOPATH
VERSE: ANYTHING I WANT, MY PARENTS GET
THEY HAVEN’T SAID NO TO ME YET
MOM AND DAD AREN’T AROUND FOR ME
SO I GET MY VALUES FROM T.V.
IT’S OKAY TO USE VIOLENCE TO SHUT ONE’S MOUTH
AND ELUDE CAPTURE BY GOING SOUTH.
CHORUS: WHILE GUN CONTROL GETS LIBERAL’S WRATH
IT’S COOL TO BE A SOCIOPATH
DON’T REALLY CARE HOW YOU FEEL
IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING, I WILL STEAL
VERSE; BEING IN A GANG IS A GLAMOROUS LIFE
AND YOU CAN SOLVE YOUR PROBLEMS WITH A KNIFE
DOING DRUGS IS HIP AND COOL
THE ONLY STRAIGHT ONE IS A FOOL
MOVIES SHOW THAT HUMAN LIFE IS CHEAP
AND ATTRACTIVE GIRLS ALWAYS LIKE A CREEP.
CHORUS:

LITTLE VOICES

|
|||
|
LITTLE VOICES
CHORUS: I’M A VICTIM, WHO MAKES THE WRONG CHOICES
BECAUSE I LISTEN TO THOSE LITTLE VOICES
I’M A VICTIM, WHO MAKES THE WRONG CHOICES
BECAUSE I LISTEN TO THOSE LITTLE VOICES
VERSE: NOT MY FAULT, DIDN’T MEAN TO KILL ANYONE
JUST LISTENED TO THE VOICE FROM THE GUN.
MOTHER, DIDN’T MEAN TO RUN OVER YOUR CHILD.
THE VOICE IN THE CAR MADE ME DRIVE WILD
SORRY TO CUT SHORT YOUR LIFE.
JUST LISTENING TO THE VOICE IN MY KNIFE.
CHORUS:
VERSE: SO SORRY THAT YOUR ARM IS BROKE
BUT THE BASEBALL BAT TO ME SPOKE
DIDN’T HAVE A CHOICE TO DRINK OR SMOKE
ONLY DID AS THE VOICES SPOKE
FORGIVE ME , YOUR LOVED ONE, I HAD TO CHOKE.
BECAUSE THE LITTLE VOICES TO ME SPOKE.
CHORUS:

PARENTAL DENIAL

|
PARENTAL DENIAL
CHORUS: THE FACTS WILL COME OUT IN THE TRIAL
JUST ANOTHER CASE OF PARENTAL DENIAL
THE FACTS WILL COME OUT IN THE TRIAL
JUST ANOTHER CASE OF PARENTAL DENIAL
VERSE: IT MUST SURELY BE A JOKE
MY KID WOULDN’T DRINK OR SMOKE
HE WOULD SURELY NOT USE A KNIFE
TO PUT AN END TO SOMEONE’S LIFE
DON’T LABEL MY DAUGHTER WITH ANY PERCEPTION
HER PREGNANCY IS IMMACULATE CONCEPTION.
CHORUS:
VERSE: IN OUR HOUSE, IT’S ALL KISSES AND HUGS
MY CHILD WOULD NEVER DO ANY DRUGS
YOU MUST ALL TAKE ME FOR A FOOL
MY KID WOULD NEVER DITCH SCHOOL
MY CHILDREN HAVE MUCH MORE CLASS
AND WOULD NEVER SAY ANYTHING CRASS.
CHORUS:
VERSE: DON’T TRY TO GIVE US A RAW DEAL
MY KIDS WOULD NEVER SHOPLIFT OR STEAL.
IT’S GOT TO BE A BOLD FACE LIE
MY SON WOULD NEVER GO TO SCHOOL HIGH.
MY CHILDREN WERE NOT RAISED IN THE STREET
HOW COULD THEY POSSIBLY LIE OR CHEAT?
CHORUS:
|
||||
6. |
JUST GET OVER IT
02:51
|
|||
|
JUST GET OVER IT
VERSE: THE LOTTERY YOU NEVER SEEM TO WIN
PEOPLE HAVING MONEY IS JUST A SIN
A STEADY JOB, YOU CAN’T KEEP
BECAUSE YOUR BOSS IS A CREEP
THE RENT YOU DIDN’T WANT TO PAY
LANDLORD SAID, YOU COULDN’T STAY
CHORUS: LIFE IS UNFAIR YOU SPUTTER AND SPIT
I SAY JUST GET OVER IT
LIFE IS UNFAIR YOU SPUTTER AND SPIT
I SAY JUST GET OVER IT
VERSE: IT’S OKAY TO WRITE A BAD CHECK
BECAUSE YOUR LIFE IS A WRECK
IN THIS LIFE, YOU ARE A STAR
WHY SHOULD YOU PAY ON THE CAR.
NEVER PAY BACK A LOAN
BECAUSE YOU USED IT TO PAY THE PHONE.
CHORUS LIFE IS UNFAIR YOU SPUTTER AND SPIT
I SAY JUST GET OVER IT
LIFE IS UNFAIR YOU SPUTTER AND SPIT
I SAY JUST GET OVER IT

DINOSAUR MAN

|
|||
|
DINOSAUR MAN
CHORUS: HE’S A DINOSAUR MAN
AND EXTINCTION IS HIS PLAN
HE’S A DINOSAUR MAN
AND EXTINCTION IS HIS PLAN
VERSE: JUNK FOOD EVERYDAY HE LIKES TO EAT
LOOSE WOMEN HE PICKS UP ON THE STREET
ALCOHOL EVERYDAY HE WILL DRINK
UNTIL HE’S STUPID AND CAN’T THINK.
CIGARETTES BY THE CARTON, HE LIKES TO SMOKE
UNTIL HE CAN’T BREATHE AND BEGINS TO CHOKE.
CHORUS:
VERSE: BLOOD SUGAR AND PRESSURE RUNNING HIGH
WILL LIVE FOREVER AND CAN’T DIE
TOBACCO ISN’T THE ONLY THING HE’LL SMOKE
EATING HEALTHY IS JUST A JOKE
IT IS REALLY NOT A SLIGHT
HE WANTS TO PROVE DARWIN RIGHT.
CHORUS:

SHE GOT PREGNANT BY MISTAKE
VERSE: SHE GOT PREGNANT BY MISTAKE
BUT GIVE HER A BREAK.
IT’S NOT A CRIME
IT’ ONLY HER FIFTH TIME
CHORUS1: BUT WHO HAS TO PAY THE BILL.
BECAUSE SHE GOT HER THRILL
COULD IT BE YOU AND ME?
VERSE: CAUTION TO THE WIND,
WHEN WILL IT END?
WILL IT BE BEFORE
SHE’S TOO OLD TO HAVE ANYMORE?
CHORUS1:
PART II (TRANSITION)
VERSE: SHE GOT PREGNANT, IT’S NO MISTAKE
WHY SHOULD YOU DUMB BASTARDS GET A BREAK?
I DID IT SO WHAT THE HECK
AS LONG AS I GET HER WELFARE CHECK
CHORUS2: YEAH AND WE GOT OUR THRILL
NOW YOU IDIOTS CAN PAY THE BILL.
VERSE: AND IT’S NO CRIME
SHE’S DOING IT FOR THE FIFTH TIME
FORGET ABOUT YOUR CAUTION TO THE WIND
BECAUSE WITH ME, IT WILL NEVER END.
CHORUS2:
(TRANSITION)
REPEAT PART 1 AND FADE.

SLOW SUICIDE
04:10
|
|||
|
SLOW SUICIDE
VERSE: LYING ON A TABLE COLD AND DEAD
PUT A BULLET THROUGH HIS HEAD
IT HAPPENS OH SO FAST
WE SEE AN AMBULANCE DRIVE PAST
CHORUS: I WONDER, I WONDER
ABOUT SLOW SUICIDE
VERSE: QUESTIONS RUN ALL THROUGH MY MIND
THE ANSWERS I JUST CAN’T FIND
PEOPLE COME HERE AND THEY SIGH
THEY STAND HERE AND ASK WHY
CHORUS:
VERSE: CADAVERS LIE ALL AROUND
SLOW SUICIDE CUT THEM DOWN
FAST DEATH AND SLOW DEATH
THEY ALL TOOK THEIR LAST BREATH
CHORUS:
VERSE: HEAVY SMOKING ISN’T RIGHT
EATING TIL YOUR PANTS GET TIGHT
DRINKING TO EASE YOUR STRAIN
PUTTING DRUGS IN YOUR BRAIN
CHORUS:
VERSE: SUICIDE WAS QUICK AND FAST
BUT THE PAIN DIDN’T LAST
WHY DO WE KILL SO SLOW
IS ALL I WANT TO KNOW
CHORUS:

I DON’T WANT TO DIE IN SUBURBIA
VERSE: LIVING IN SUBURBIA CAN BE A DRAG
GIRLFRIEND THINKS SHE’S GOT ME IN THE BAG.
SHE SAYS, “HEY DARLIN’, I WANT KIDS.”
SORRY BUT I AIN’T TAKIN’ ANY BIDS.
CHORUS: I DON’T WANT TO DIE IN SUBURBIA
SO LET’S GET BABY RAPIN’ DRUNK
AND TEAR UP THE TOWN TONIGHT
VERSE: WORK EVERYDAY FROM NINE TO FIVE
LIKE A ZOMBIE MORE DEAD THAN ALIVE
COME HOME TO A WIFE AND SCREAMING KIDS
LIFE IN SUBURBIA HAS GOT TO BE THE SKIDS
CHORUS:
VERSE: WORK ALL DAY TO PAY THE BILLS
COME HOME TO WATCH T.V. FOR SOME THRILLS
WATCHING PRETTY GIRLS WALK ON BY
BEING TIED DOWN MAKES YOU WANT TO CRY.
CHORUS:
|
||||
11. |
||||
|
WHEN I WANT TO GET STUPID(I WATCH T.V.)
VERSE: BLEACH BLONDE ON THE NEWS WITH PERFECT HAIR
TRYING TO ACT LIKE SHE COULD CARE
TOP STORY IS A FLESH EATING VIRUS
AND A MICROCHIP NAMED CIRRUS
A GAY BLACK MEMBER OF THE KKK
JUST BLEW HIMSELF AWAY.
CHORUS: IT’S THE OPIATE OF THE MASSES
AND LETS US SIT ON OUR ASSES
WHEN I WANT TO GET STUPID, I WATCH T.V.
WHEN I WANT TO GET STUPID, I WATCH T.V.
VERSE: PLEASE DON’T HATE ME BECAUSE I’M THIN
IF YOU’RE SKINNY YOU ALWAYS WIN
FOR BURGER JOINTS, IT’S NO DISGRACE
PLEASE CONTINUE TO STUFF YOUR FACE
EAT AND NEVER GET FAT
BECAUSE WE CAN MAKE YOUR TUMMY FLAT.

SEDUCTION
CHORUS: WE’RE HERE TO SEDUCE YOU
WE’RE HERE TO INDUCE YOU
THE REASON WE’RE HERE
TO SELL CHOLESTEROL, CIGARETTES, AND BEER.
VERSE: WITH REHASHED AND OVERWORKED PLOTS
WE FILL T.V. PRIME TIME SLOTS
PROPAGANDA WILL BOMBARD YOUR BRAIN
AND YOUR WALLET, WE WILL TRY TO DRAIN
TRY TO LET YOUR CREATIVE MIND SLEEP
AND LET OUR MESSAGES INTO YOUR MIND CREEP
CHORUS:
VERSE: AT OUR PRODUCTS, WE WILL MAKE YOU LOOK
HOPE YOU NEVER HAVE TO OPEN A BOOK
JUMBLE YOUR MIND SO THOUGHTS AREN’T CLEAR
FEEL FREE TO DRINK ANOTHER BEER
AND IT’S NOT REALLY A JOKE
WE WANT EVERYONE TO CONTINUE TO SMOKE
CHORUS:
VERSE: IT’S OKAY TO SIT AND BE A SLOUCH
STUFF YOURSELF AS YOU LAY ON THE COUCH
EVERY ILLUSION WE SELL IS FUN
IF YOU DIE, THEN WE’RE DONE
AT THE T.V., CONTINUE TO STARE
ABOUT YOUR FUTURE, WE DON’T CARE
CHORUS:

JUST ANOTHER GIRL SONG
VERSE:
SHE SMEARS MAKE-UP ON HER FACE
AND PUTS HER TAMPON IN THE WRONG PLACE
SHE HAS NEVER BEEN TOO SMART
ANOTHER MAN JUST TORE OUT HER HEART
FROM EATING SHE IS GETTING STOUT
TIME TO PULL THE VIBRATOR OUT
CHORUS:
IT’S JUST ANOTHER GIRL SONG
ABOUT HOW LIFE HAS GONE WRONG
IT’S JUST ANOTHER GIRL SONG
LET’S HOPE IT’S NOT TOO LONG
VERSE:
EVERYTHING IS ABOUT ISSUES
AS SHE OPENS ANOTHER BOX OF TISSUES
SHE GETS BEAT UP AND THROWN DOWN ON THE FLOOR
BUT ALWAYS COMES BACK FOR MORE
AND HAPPY ENDINGS ARE A MIRAGE
AS SHE SETTLES FOR A MASSAGE
CHORUS:
VERSE:
HER LIFE IS REALLY HARD
SHE ALWAYS GETS THE BAD CARD
EVERTHING IS ONE BIG DRAMA
WITH LOTS OF EMOTIONAL TRAUMA
AND SHE IS NOT TOO BRIGHT
NEVER FINDS MISTER RIGHT
CHORUS:

PLEASURE AND PAIN
CHORUS: IS THE PLEASURE, WORTH THE PAIN?
WHAT IN LIFE DO YOU HOPE TO GAIN
IS THE PLEASURE, WORTH THE PAIN?
WHAT IN THIS LIFE DO YOU HOPE TO GAIN
VERSE: FOR WHAT YOU DO TODAY
TOMORROW YOU WILL PAY
FOR ONE CHEAP THRILL
CAN YOU AFFORD THE BILL
TODAY, MAY SEEM SO GREAT
BUT TOMORROW IT ‘S TOO LATE
WOULD YOU GET HIGH
IF TOMORROW YOU DIE?
CHORUS:
VERSE: TAKE IT FROM ME
NOTHING WE DO IS FREE
THAT PLEASURE YOU CRAVE
WILL MAKE YOU A SLAVE.
SHUFFLING ON TO DEATH
AS YOU BREATH ONE LAST BREATH
IF TODAY YOU FLY
TOMORROW YOU MAY DIE.
CHORUS:
VERSE: FOR PLEASURE, THINGS YOU DO
MAY MAKE YOU BLUE
FOR PLEASURE IN YOUR BRAIN
YOU GET TO SUFFER LOTS OF PAIN
CAN YOU BREAK THE CHAIN
OR DO YOU WANT TO FEEL THE PAIN
IF TODAY YOU FLY
TOMORROW YOU MAY DIE.

THUMP THAT BIBLE
CHORUS: Gonna thump that Bible
Gonna thump you in the head
Gonna thump that Bible and
Show you where your life has led
VERSE: Now you are blind and can’t see
Thump you with the Bible and set you free
Thump that Bible with words the Lord has said
Gonna try to save your soul before you’re dead
CHORUS:
VERSE: Accept the Lord and walk the straight line
Thump you with the Bible and everything will be fine
Thump that Bible to set you right
Try to help you see the light
CHORUS:

Marlan Fayetteville, Arkansas
I have been writing music since I was seventeen and dreamed of being a singer/songwriter but have had to put it on hold for several years. I started out writing poetry to deal with my feelings and then I decided to set the poetry to music. The thing that sets my music apart from others is that the lyrics all have meaning that hits one at several different levels of meaning. ... more
