Be Strong

That flag on that pole is waving half mast
Commemorating all those who have died
In history a tragedy was cast
On the day the millions broke down and cried
On the day the entire world stopped turning
On the day so many lives had been claimed
On the day the candles began burning
On the day life will never be the same
On the day the two great monoliths fell
On the day plans for World War III were laid
On the day Earth received a piece of Hell
On the day the millions knelt down and prayed.

Yet I know our hearts will burn forever
Yet I know we will be strong together

The World Gave me Apples and I made Cider

My rocket-powered squirrel just blew up
My Ferrari is radioactive
My pet lemming has found a will to live
Clouds are floating out of my coffee cup
The Cheshire Cat is chanting out a curse
My pet lamb has dynamite up it’s arse
My private Idaho is now a farce
And the situation just couldn’t get worse
The ugly ducking is drunk and on crack
My bunny has mixamotosis
My kitten vomits up mess most grosses
The dog is painting my bedroom door black

And tomorrow, me and my motley crew
Will flush the Queen of Hearts head down the loo

Two lovers are fucking up above me

Two lovers are fucking up above me
In their apartment they roll as one
As they commit their dirty deed with glee
And they won’t stop until the night is done
As they express their love with much passion
Lose virginity or risk going stale
Meanwhile their sounds come downward crashin’
Any attempt to blot out their sounds fail
The sounds of their love burn me to my soul
They burn, I burn in emotional fire
A terrible emptiness takes it’s toll
The sounds won’t end. The sounds will never tire

I listen and the truth really does hurt
They make love, I have my face rubbed in dirt.

Vengeance is a dish best served cold (The Hillbilly song)

I went to the countryside with my wife
I took her to the greatest farm around
All the while I had the time of my life
She, however, just wouldn’t settle down.
She cheated on me. An act most unkind
I don’t know why but she had her reasons
Next thing I knew, I must’ve lost my mind
I planned to execute her for treason
So I dragged her screaming into the barn
And I rammed my shotgun to her forehead
Lie-tainted screams echoed across the farm
But they didn’t stop me shooting the wench dead

Now I’m in jail - which is just as well
Nothing can stop me from going to hell

Broken Circle

Once upon a time foundations were set
To build what will endure the test of time
But now this wonder’s demise has been met
It’s long gone now - covered in moss and grime
Back in it’s heyday, this place was a home
Everyone was happy, day after day
A haven for a wanderer alone
But the sun has forever gone away
The black souls have flown - Gone to pastures new
Leaving a lone wolf howling at the moon
The pure minds search for their destiny too
As an eclipse illuminates the gloom

The circle is broken, all have parted
And now the wolf is back where he started.

Obliterate

He is dark - nothing but a tortured soul
He is a solitaire - Quiet and grim
he has few friends, many want to kill him
Yet despite his deathly aura he ain’t lull
He is filled with only pain and sorrow
As he can’t love but hate, he can’t go back
What’s more he can’t defend only attack
He can’t run but go onto tomorrow
And yet he weeps for his predicament
For those who’ve come to know him and his curse
But fighting from chaos does he emerge
Only atrocities does he commit

He doesn’t take any crap from anyone
But can’t recall when he last saw the sun

I ride the Highway with Jesus

I ride this freeway with a friend in need
On the highway of life he will guide me
Jesus will lead me to my destiny
Yes, because he is a true friend indeed
Yes, I will do what he tells me to do
But you bet it’s going to be worth it!
Nasty comments don’t bother me one bit
As Jesus will life me up when I’m blue
I don’t care what infidels have to say
Because I’m happy with this way of life
I know Jesus will protect me from strife
With his help, I will see another day

He tells me everything will be alright
He’ll pat my back as I walk in the light
