Misanthrope 02:27
Looking down the barrel of a water gun A leather jacket doesn’t make you tough You read a book, now change the world Why not start with your suburban home? Your opinion starts and ends with what's best for your constituents Blurring lines between the worlds that you've imagined Bible thumping anarchists lead the lemmings off of the cliff Leaving the rest of us with survivor's guilt and looking for answers Say what you want to Selfless is selfish Living in black and white You've got a spine like a paperback book Fracture the factions Heart of a misanthrope One way road and a dead end job What you have is never enough Hot air and boiling blood Lord of the miscreants

I’m blasting off countdown Engines go, t-minus now Goodbye Mission Control You can’t control me now Boosters away System check, CAPCOM says I’m okay No one can touch me Up here above the clouds I’m lifting off to the unknown And I don’t give a f*** about the ones I left on Earth The rapture’s coming and they’ll get what they deserve A whole new world fresh start A chance to make amends I’m feeling social enough to befriend an alien But I’m breaking up Sent me off course Expect the worst Ignition sequence marks the end

Interloper 02:01
she'll be singing your praises with a gun to your head in her little black book she collects broken promises i'm afloat, but sinking fast duct tape on your heart won't help you put it back together she's got a new flame and an attitude she can't be serious i'll be hold on, fading out like a bad tattoo she said a ring is to a finger what a noose is to a neck if we're just hanging out, she'll leave you at the drop of a hat she was here, but now she's gone if it wasn't this addicting i might consider something better

Episode 4 02:20
I was sifting through some photographs Tryin’ to remember when we met A broken faded memory A reminder of who we used to be Don’t look down and don’t look back It’s hard to run away with a noose around your neck What happens now? When there’s nothing left You can’t solve a puzzle with a piece that doesn’t fit I was sifting through those photographs Tryin’ to remember what went wrong No answers to the questions asked Even if there were, I don’t recall I won’t look down Cuz I don’t wanna fall I won’t look back Cuz I don’t live in the past I don’t believe that all our memories represent the truth

Everyone's been sayin' I should take a stance That I should find something to believe in But I don't wanna be some hipster malcontent With rhetoric that changes with the seasons And I don't give a s*** about your friends and their opinions They're a bunch of politicians dressed like Zooey Deschanel And I refuse to pause while you tout your cause Because I think we've got enough bike lanes There's a fashion show forming outside City Hall The propaganda puppets fight the system I don't think I'm part of the one percent But my t-shirt isn't tight enough to march with them And I don't give a s*** about your friends and their opinions They're a bunch of politicians with beards like Jacob Gyllenhaal Yeah, I refuse to pause while you tout your cause Because I think we've got enough organic coffee shops
6.
You pull the pin on your grenade while I'm sitting on a powder keg Light the fuse and run Fire in the hole You're sadistic, I'm pathetic, you're so unapologetic Do we fix it and forget it? Do you think it's worth the headache? Have we fizzled out or are we gonna blow? Stand where you are As long as we don't move the world won't turn Say what you want But don't choke on your famous last words Do you think we can turn the page? Do you think we can act our age? Can we overcome everything we've broke? A knife in the back or a bullet in the chest Anything will heal with the right insurance You don't believe in fate But have a little faith in me

Everyone claims you're kosher and it's just your Irish blood That pasty complexion is more than fair skin and you say you're just tired - but I'm not buying it And that sluggish gate is worse than just a limp All I want is an explanation to why you smell of rot And if you debunk the clues, then hats off to you And I'll accept that you're not undead Every time we go to dinner You order something strange You get kind of skittish when we pass a church And all of your clothing is covered in dirt Not to mention, you grunt when you talk I know this conversation is awkward But I think you owe us the truth And if you debunk the clues, then hats off to you And we'll all accept a zombie as our friend We'd all accept a zombie as our friend

Tuesday night, lookin' to party make my way to the members only That's right, you got to know someone to get in. It ain't the Elks and it ain't the Legion It's not the Shriner's or the Masons It's the Owl's Club. The best club that there is. Welcome to the Owl's Club Where drinks are cheap and sarcasm is free Come get your swill where time stands still at the Owl's Club. Cash only. Beer and whiskey. They charge you double if you're under fifty. That's okay, its worth its weight in gold. Hasn't been remodeled since the early 80s No flip club or karaoke, just sports on a black and white TV Welcome to the Owl's Club Where drinks are cheap and sarcasm is free Come get your swill where time stands still in faded photos on the wall Its the after-party for the Rotary Club that plays bingo at the firehall There's a neighborhood bar thats not too far with a jukebox and girly drinks But I don't wanna know what's going on outside these wood paneled walls. I'll be deep in the grave before I take my business some place else

She was a really good friend A really good friend to me, yeah She was a really good friend A really good friend to me, yeah But they took her away Tossed her in the bin Now she's hanging out In East Berlin, ow-ooo She had a very bad affair With some cat from Hiroshima She turned into a head of lettuce She eats Thorazine in her farina But they took her away Tossed her in the bin Now she's hanging out In East Berlin, ow-ooo And everytime I eat vegetables It makes me think of you And everytime I eat vegetables I don't know what to do, to do ow-ooo
