CHORUS:
RACING THOUGHTS, MY MIND IS IN A PANIC
OOPS! I JUST WENT MANIC
RACING THOUGHTS, MY MIND IS IN A PANIC
OOPS! I JUST WENT MANIC
VERSE:
THOUGHTS AND IDEAS FLOWING FAST
MY BRAIN IS ONE BIG BLAST
SOMETIMES I GO TOO FAR
JUST TOTALED YOUR NEW CAR
NOTHING SEEMS TO SLOW ME DOWN
HOW DID I END UP IN THIS TOWN
CHORUS:
VERSE:
THOUGHTS POUNDING IN MY HEAD
HIT THE GAS BEFORE THE LIGHT TURNS RED
IN MY MIND, I AM A STAR
WHY AM I IN THIS POLICE CAR?
HYSTERICALLY LAUGHING LIKE A CLOWN
CAN’T TURN THE VOLUME DOWN
CHORUS:
HOW LONG CAN I MAINTAIN THIS STATE?
MONEY LIKE OBAMA, I LIKE TO SPEND
DON’T KNOW HOW THIS WILL END.
AFTER I BURN OUT THIS FLAME
THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

REVENGE
VERSE: CIVILIZATION IS A SAD, SAD JOKE
WHEN MEN IN POWER GO FOR BROKE.
AND NO ONE CAN REALLY HIDE
WHEN IT’S TIME FOR GENOCIDE
MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN MUST DIE
AND IN MASS GRAVES THEY LIE
WHEN TOMORROW’S DAWN WILL ARRIVE
WILL ANYONE STILL BE ALIVE
CHORUS: AN EYE FOR AN EYE, A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH
IN REVENGE, THERE IS NO TRUTH
AN EYE FOR AN EYE, A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH
IN REVENGE, THERE IS NO TRUTH
VERSE: LOOK TO GOD AND TO THE POPE
BUT IS THERE REALLY ANY HOPE
FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS PEOPLE FIGHT
IS ANYONE WRONG OR ANYONE RIGHT?
MOVE THEM TO A CONCENTRATION CAMP
WHILE THE KILLING FIELDS ARE DAMP
NO LOGICAL REASON WHY
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE MUST DIE.
CHORUS:
VERSE: TOO LATE TO FEEL OR TO CARE
WHEN DEAD BODIES ARE EVERYWHERE
POLITICIANS CLOUD WHAT’S WRONG AND RIGHT
OR THE REASONS WHY PEOPLE FIGHT
SKIES ARE DARKENED BY CLOUDS OF WAR
SEEMS LIKE WE’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE
DREAMS OF FREEDOM FROM THE WALL
DASHED AS BOMBS ONCE MORE FALL

DOESN’T EAT MUCH AND STAYS THIN
NICOTINE STAINS ON HER SKIN
CIGARETTE SMOKIN’ HONEY
BURNING UP HER MONEY
CHORUS:
VERSE: ABOUT HER HEALTH, DOESN’T CARE
ENJOYS BREATHING TAINTED AIR
DOESN’T BOTHER HER TO COUGH OR CHOKE
SHE JUST WANTS TO SMOKE
IT’S NOT AN ATTACK
SHE’S JUST A SMOKE STACK
CHORUS:
VERSE: LIFE IS JUST A JOKE
SHE CACKLES WITH A CLOUD OF SMOKE
NO REASON TO CRY
IN THE END, WE ALL DIE
FLAUNTING HER STUFF
TAKING ANOTHER PUFF

IN THE HOUSE AT THE END OF THE LANE
SHATTERED DREAMS AND MEMORIES OF PAIN
IN THE HOUSE AT THE END OF THE LANE
VERSE:
WHEN YOUR LIFE BECOMES SHATTERED
THE DREAMS YOU HAD NEVER MATTERED
HOPES AND PLANS THAT WERE MADE
GOT BLOWN UP LIKE A GRENADE
ANYTHING YOU HAD HOPED TO GAIN
IN YOUR MIND IS JUST A STAIN
CHORUS:
VERSE:
PROJECTED DREAMS THAT WILL NEVER BE
COULD HAVE BEENS, YOU WILL NEVER SEE
STRIVING FOR THAT RING OF GOLD
BUT THE FUTURE JUST GOT SOLD
SEARCHED FOR SUNSHINE BUT GOT RAIN
LOOKING FOR PLEASURE BUT GOT PAIN
CHORUS:
VERSE:
LIFE HAS A WAY OF CHANGING COURSE
LEAVING YOU WITH JUST REMORSE
FELT LIKE BEING BUT WITH MANY BLADES
HOPING FOR HEARTS BUT JUST GOT SPADES
TIME WILL EASE THE STRAIN
AND BREAK THE BALL AND CHAIN

IT IS ALWAYS HER WAY
SHE’S ALWAYS ON LOCK AND LOAD
ANY MOMENT SHE’LL EXPLODE
CHORUS:
VERSE: AT OTHER GIRLS, DON’T EVEN LOOK
OR SHE’LL NAIL YOU WITH A BOOK
SHE IS SO PARANOID
CASUAL CONVERSATIONS, YOU SHOULD AVOID
THOUGH DETAILS MAY BE HAZY
SHE’S JUST PLAIN CRAZY
CHORUS:
VERSE: DON’T BOTHER WITH HOW OR WHYS
BECAUSE TO HER, THEY ARE ALL LIES
BEFORE YOU GET INTO A FIGHT
REMEMBER SHE’S ALWAYS RIGHT.
ALWAYS HAS TO BE HER WAY

CHORUS: Bonus fee to the finder
Got to feed the grinder
Bonus fee to the finder
Got to feed the grinder
VERSE: Big red tricked out Hum-Vee
Something young men have got to see.
Money for college we will pay
If four years, you agree to stay
Sharp creased uniforms, you get to wear
Just let us shave off your hair.
CHORUS:
VERSE: We will march you and make you drill
So you can charge up that hill
You are the few, you are the proud
We will make you shout it out loud
Make you part of the Marine Corps
From you, we want so much more.
CHORUS:
VERSE: Teach you how to fight and kill
You’re immortal and it’s a thrill
Show you how to take a life
With just bare hands and a knife
Don’t have to worry about life being a bore
We’re going to ship you off to war.
CHORUS:
VERSE: In a combat zone, you just want to survive
Just trying to get out alive
Unlike the movies, war is not fun
Just a job that has to get done
After you start having nightmares,
The truth is that no one cares.

IN THE MALL, I NEVER LIKE TO SHOP
DON’T WANT TO DEAL WITH THE NAZI MALL COP
VERSE:
THOUGHT WE STOPPED THE NAZIS IN 1945
AT THE GALLERIA MALL, THEY’RE STILL ALIVE
RANDOMLY STOPPING SHOPPERS FOR THEIR ID
ALWAYS THOUGHT IN THIS COUNTRY WE WERE FREE
DEMANDING I TURN OVER MY VIDEO TAPE
WOULD HAVE THOUGHT JUST COMMITTED RAPE
CHORUS:
VERSE:
SEIG HEIL, IT’S A POWER TRIP
INNOCENT CITIZENS FEEL THE IRON GRIP
BETTER WATCH WHAT YOU DO
NAZI MALL COPS WILL COME AFTER YOU
PARENTS WITH CHILDREN BEWARE
NAZI MALL COPS WILL GIVE THEM A SCARE
CHORUS:
VERSE:
IN THE MALL, THE STORES ARE NICE
REGULAR SHOPLIFTERS PARADISE
FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY YOU WILL FEEL
IN THE PARKING LOT, CARS THEY STEAL
A 3PM CURFEW FOR KIDS DOESN’T SEEM RIGHT

NO MORE VICTIMS
VERSE: ADVERTIZING SEDUCES US, WE DON’T STAND A CHANCE.
GORKED OUT LIKE ZOMBIES, PUT INTO A TRANCE.
ONLY OUT FOR PLEASURE AND TO MINIMIZE THE PAIN
THAT’S THE WAY WARPED MESSAGES REACH OUR BRAIN.
CHORUS: STOP BEING A VICTIM,
DON’T GIVE THE VULTURES A CHANCE
TAKE A MACHINE GUN
AND MAKE THEIR BODIES DANCE
VERSE: BLAST AWAY YOUR T.V., BLOW AWAY THE SCREEN.
SHOOT DOWN ALL THE PRETTY PEOPLE TRYING TO MAKE THE SCENE.
FEEL THE BEAT OF THE MUSIC, LET YOUR BLOOD RUN HOT.
DO AWAY WITH MEDIA AND LET PRETTY PEOPLE ROT.
CHORUS:
VERSE: CIGARETTES SEDUCE US AND ALCOHOL IS FUN.
SEXY GIRLS ENTICE YOU AND TELL YOU, YOU’RE THE ONE.

MULLET MAN
VERSE: USED EIGHT TRACK TAPES HE LIKES TO BUY
SOME THINGS NEVER SEEM TO DIE
SILK DISCO SHIRTS, HE LIKES TO WEAR
WHAT YOU THINK, HE DOESN’T CARE
HIS CAR FROM THE SEVENTIES STILL GOES FAST
BACK THEN BUILT THEM TO LAST
CHORUS: HEY BABY, HERE COMES THE MULLET MAN
IF HE CAN’T GET DRUGS THEN NOBODY CAN.
HEY BABY, HERE COMES THE MULLET MAN
IF HE CAN’T GET DRUGS THEN NOBODY CAN.
VERSE: DOUBLE WIDE TRAILER SHOWS HE’S HIGH CLASS
SIT ON THE FRONT PORCH AND SMOKE SOME GRASS
SHAG CARPET COVERING THE FLOOR
WORKING EVERY DAY HAS BECOME A CHORE
DROPPING OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL SURE SEEMED COOL
NOW LOOK, WHO’S THE FOOL
CHORUS:
VERSE: DRUG SEEKING DIRTBAG TRYING TO SCORE
PAIN MEDICATIONS, HE ALWAYS WANTS MORE
DOCTORS HAVE GOT TO BE DUMB
THE PAIN IS ALL IN HIS THUMB
WRIST SPLINTS AND HOBBLE WITH A CANE
GOT TO BE CONVINCING ABOUT THE PAIN
CHORUS:
VERSE: SEEKING OUT DRUGS FOR SECONDARY GAIN
CAN’T GET A HANDLE ON HIS PAIN
IT’S CLEAR HE DOESN’T WANT TO WORK

VERSE: COUNTRY AND WORLD ARE IN A PANIC
NEW PRESIDENT JUST TOOK OVER THE TITANIC
BEWARE OF STUPID PEOPLE IN HIGH PLACES
FOR ANSWERS, JUST FILL IN THE SPACES
GOVERNMENT CONTRACTORS RAKING IN THE CASH
WHILE THE ECONOMY HEADS FOR THE TRASH
CHORUS:
VERSE: INNOCENT SOLDIERS HAVE NO CHOICE
NO ONE LETS THEM HAVE A VOICE
THEY FOLLOW ORDERS AND DIE
NOT ALLOWED TO ASK HOW OR WHY
THEIR FAMILIES CONTINUE TO HURT
AS THEY GET LOWERED INTO THE DIRT.
CHORUS:
VERSE: IT HAS COME TO BE QUITE CLEAR
THE IRAQI PEOPLE DON’T WANT US HERE
GOVERNMENT SAYS IT MUST BE REBUILT
POINTLESS TO BUILD HOUSES ON SILT.
PROBLEMS LIKE POVERTY YOU CAN’T SOLVE
OR MAKE A THIRD WORLD EVOLVE.
CHORUS:
VERSE: FROM THE RUSSIANS, WE DIDN’T LEARN
GOING TO AFGHANISTAN, WATCH US BURN
TERRORISM FROM POVERTY WILL ARISE
YOU CAN SEE THE HATE IN THEIR EYES
TERRORISTS AROUND THE COUNTRY YOU CAN CHASE
BUT YOU DON’T KNOW LOOKING AT THEIR FACE
CHORUS:
BRIDGE: INSTRUMENTAL
VERSE: IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN IS TODAY’S VIETNAM
AND THE PEOPLE THERE DON’T GIVE A DAMN
ONCE AGAIN CONTRACTORS ARE GETTING RICH

I’m a dead beat boyfriend don’t want to work
It’s just my nature to be a jerk
VERSE: Girl, we can both live off your check
Don’t want to work because it hurts my neck
Got another girlfriend on the side
While you’re at work, she and I will ride
On the couch, drinking beer and smoking cigarettes
Your money on the ponies, I’m placing my bets
CHORUS:
VERSE: Give me some money and let me borrow your car
I need to go to the “Tittie Bar”
To you girl, I want to stick it
Because you are my meal ticket
Baby, I need some money to get something to eat
Told my other girlfriend, this time it’s my treat.

CORPORATE AMERICA
CHORUS: Corporate America wants to cut a deal
From the taxpayers, they want to steal
Corporate America wants to cut a deal
If the economy is going to heal
VERSE: CEO’s wearing designer suits
Have to have golden parachutes
Living their life like rock stars
Driving top-of-the –line luxury cars.
On others , they blame the trouble
Because American labor costs double.
CHORUS:
VERSE: Mortgage Companies looking for a bail
Threatening to make the economy fail
Housing market has gone bust
Leaving homeowners in the dust
Company coffers have been looted
The CEO’s have parachuted
CHORUS:
VERSE: Got to stay in the war
So contractors can make more
Billions are being spent everyday
But the problem won’t go away
Thousands of people continue to die
Making money is the reason why
CHORUS:
VERSE: Oil companies don’t play nice
Increase cost and don’t think twice
Any excuse will raise the price
Government always gets a slice
Pushing backs against the walls
Got everyone by the balls

VERSE: I WAS DOWN IN THE DUMPS WHEN I HEARD THE CALL.
BACK THEN I WAS LOW BUT NOW I STAND TALL
THE LORD SAID STAND AND TAKE IT LIKE A MAN
SOMETIMES IN THIS LIFE YOU GET IT IN THE CAN
HAD NO DIRECTION AND NO WAY TO GO
BUT GOT ENLIGHTENED AND NOW I KNOW.
CHORUS:
VERSE: WHEN YOU FEEL DOWN AND YOUR BACKS AGAINST THE WALL
AND YOUR LIFE IS HEADED FOR THE BIG FALL
THE LORD SAID STAND AND TAKE IT LIKE A MAN
SOMETIMES IN THIS LIFE YOU GET IT IN THE CAN

GET ENLIGHTENED AND THEN YOU KNOW

AND BREAK YOU LIKE A TOY.
YOUR EMOTIONS I DON’T FEEL
JUST WANT TO GIVE YOU A RAW DEAL.
CHORUS: ON A BLACK HORSE, I RIDE
TOO LATE,.YOU’VE JUST DIED
DON’T WANT A VISIT FROM MR. HYDE
DON’T WANT A VISIT FROM MR. HYDE
VERSE: WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT, I WILL ATTACK
I’M JUST A KNIFE IN YOUR BACK
NOT A THOUGHT FOR WHAT YOU FEEL
WHAT YOU HAVE, I WANT TO STEAL
REALLY HOPE I GIVE YOU A SCARE
NO ONE SAID LIFE IS FAIR.
IF MY WORDS MAKE YOU SAD
THAT’S JUST TOO BAD.
CHORUS:
VERSE: GET YOU BEFORE YOU GET ME IS MY CREED
WITH SOME LUCK, I’LL MAKE YOU BLEED.
FEEL THE PAIN AFTER I’VE STRUCK
IT’S JUST YOUR BAD LUCK
DON’T FEEL LOVE OR HATE
JUST WANT YOU TO TAKE THE BAIT.
IN LIFE, HAVE NOTHING TO REDEEM
JUST WANT TO BE YOUR BAD DREAM.

VERSE: ARMAGEDDON IS COMING,
THUNDER IS MOVING ACROSS THE LAND

SEVEN TRUMPETS WILL SOUND
AND SLAIN MARTYRS WILL RISE FROM THE GROUND
CHORUS: WILL YOU BE THERE AT ARMAGEDDON
WILL YOU BE THERE AT THE END
WILL YOU BE THERE AT ARMADEDDON
WILL YOU BE THERE AT THE END
VERSE: LOOK TO THE BOOK OF REVELATION
FOR YOUR OWN INVITATION

PRINCE OF DARKNESS WILL BE FALLING
WHEN GOD’S SEVEN ANGELS COME CALLING
THERE WILL BE NO SECOND CHANCE,
AS FLAMES ACROSS THE WORLD DANCE

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
