Oh Virginia 02:10
Do you remember when I came in through your window? I hit my head and you just stood there akimbo I was sure that that night was the night, though Wore my only pair of underwear without a hole Your walls were pink and that's no innuendo I'm pretty sure that Korn was on the radio I don't remember but there's one thing I do know All day I dream about sex indeed Like a freak on leash Before I even put my head on your pillow Your Dad burst in and told me that I should go I grabbed my coat and made my way to the window But your dear old Dad said I could use the door Got in my car and was on my way back home I'm pretty sure Sublime was on the radio He died in '96 from an overdose Now who gives a fuck about Sublime with Rome? Lovin' ain't what I got Now I don't practice Santeria and I ain't got no crystal ball Oh Virginia, coulda been in ya

Suede lady rubbed against the grain Do you think that this is just a game? You can't get back out the way you came Maybe we could dance outside in the rain I have never been one to abstain Can you take the pleasure with the pain, baby? Red rover send love right over Times are tough since I lost my faith Rock all night and party everyday Better to burn out than fade away Maybe we could play but the rules have changed I can't hear a single word you say I've got better things to do today, baby Red rover send love right over I finally found the true meaning of love Are you ready for this 'cause it's gonna rock your world? I finally know the meaning of life Are you ready for this 'cause it's gonna blow your mind? I finally found the secret to happiness Are you ready for this 'cause it's not what you think it is? I finally know why we were put on this Earth Are you ready for this 'cause I'm not gonna tell you twice?

Innovation in masturbation The whole world was at his fingertips while he cupped his balls But he knew it wouldn't hurt at all Isolation, no motivation I heard they found a suicide note written in emoticons Assimilation was not an option Yesterday was his birthday and no one wrote on his wall But he knew it wouldn't hurt at all Isolation, no motivation I heard they found a suicide note written in emoji We don't care if you like the song as long as you like the page it's on

Home Alone 01:31
Wipe that shit-eating grin off your face Ain't nobody got time for Citizen Kane We're watching Home Alone Fuck The Godfather and Gone with the Wind C'mon and sit your ass down 'cause it's time to begin We're watching Home Alone The best screenplay that John Hughes ever made You can keep the change, you filthy animal Don't tell me that Some Like it Hot You're gonna watch what I tell you if you like it or not We're watching Home Alone No, the Star Wars don't do it for me And Darth Vader's got nothing on Joe Pesci We're watching Home Alone

Time Guitar 05:29
Build a colony on Mars Teleport to work or take a flying car See a real-life dinosaur Would that this guitar were a time guitar Save your favorite movie star Don't let Princess Diana get into that car Give Jimi Hendrix C.P.R. He's pretty good but he ain't got a time guitar Meet Julius Caesar in ancient Rome Talk to Alexander Graham Bell on the telephone Invent punk rock before the Ramones Would that this microphone were a time microphone But you will always be alone Never have a place or a friend to call your own This is the saddest song you know Sing along now into your time microphone I had brunch with Frank Buckles in Nevada. It's a town in Missouri, not the Silver State. I couldn't tell you why they pronounce it that way. I flew there on the back of a cicada. After our meal, he told me he never killed a man and that's just as well. Some people say that war is Hell but I think Hell is Hell. I woke up with Joe Rutherford in Versailles. I spent the night dreaming of whales. I mean the town in Missouri, not Versailles. I don't know why they pronounce it that way but he talked me into renewing my Watchtower subscription. They give it to you for free but I would gladly pay. He told me a whale in your dreams is a sign of faith and I told him to tell Jehovah to come over and take me away.

This is the sound of a shot in the dark This is the sound of a walk through the park This is the sound of a merry-go-round This is the sound of your dog in the pound This is the sound of the face you made That time the face you made me want to break your face This is the sound of the lost and the found This is the sound of a man about town His parents must be proud M.A.N. These are the hands of a man with a plan These are the feet on the street with a beat This is the face of first place in the race This is a soul full of holes, black as coal This is a cock that can walk Don't you mock my big cock or I'll use it to knock your block off These are the lies you told time and again These are the fevered dreams of a mad, mad man And his adoring fans M.A.N. I don't speak from experience M.A.N. I'm just the voice of a generation M.A.N. Don't you know if you're having fun M.A.N. That just means that you're doing it wrong?

Blame 03:49
No blood for oil unless it's foreign soil My gun is my divining rod Like lambs to the slaughter they tried to walk on water Were sunk by my Christian God We're a faux-progressive nation steeped in militarism This land was made for you and me Said no to taxation without representation And yes to owning human beings Blame Blame us Blame America America first This land is your land, if it's the land that you were born in As long as you don't have red skin then we don't care This land is your land, if it's the land that you were born in As long as you don't have brown skin then you can share the Blame Blame us Blame America, land that I love Land where my fathers died Land of the pilgrim's pride God bless the stars and stripes Let's drop a bomb tonight We're coming to your town We're gonna burn it down Who needs diplomacy? We've got democracy You know you want it

Hey you, put down that guitar And admit that you will never be a star (You'll never be a star, you'll never be a star) You were never very good in the first place And I think we know you're too old anyway (You're too old anyway, listen to what I say) Planets in the sky exploding Shadows in the night following me Magic in my life eroding I just wanna die so kill me please Consider the futility of it all And I swear you're gonna feel so small (You're gonna feel so small, you're gonna feel so small) Now I think you're ready to give up But first you have to kill everything you love (Kill everything you love, because you've had enough) No kids, no wife, no friends, no life No work, no play, no will, no way No school, no job, no name, no god No eat, no sleep, someone kill me please (I hate my life, I want to die)

about

More Gorgeous Chicago, Illinois

Clever, moody art-punks attempting to blend Killing Joke’s industrial goth stomp with Swervedriver’s dynamic shoegaze assault. They embrace jagged, damaged tones and textures without compromising their sophisticated pop sensibilities. The results are big, loud and tightly-wound noise-rock anthems. ... more
