I was a master of self deception
Pulled the wool over my eyes
Elaborate fabrication
I was living a lie
I fooled me once
Shame on me
I fooled me twice
I kept spooling the fooling
Bitten once
Bitten twice
Finally shy
When the price was too high
Honesty, my new religion
Truth or nothing, truth or die
Unwavering conviction
I could not tell a lie
I Fooled me once
Shame on me
I fooled me twice
I kept blurting and hurting
Bitten once
Bitten twice
Finally shy
When the price was too high
Back in my steam punk dungeon
Hiding from the light
Fortified position
Stuck in a bind
What you don't know can't hurt you
Seems to be the party line
But what you don't say can kill you
It can tear you up inside
What you don't know can't hurt you
Seems to be the party line
But what you don't say can kill you
It can eat you alive

Guilty

She knows
He's a ticking time bomb
Stick of dynamite between his legs
Fucking stick of dynamite for brains
Balls of steel
Deception is his middle name
Hiding behind the so-called truth
Dead giveaway
Sleeper cell
Legitimate front
Years dormant
Ordered into action or
Accident waiting to happen
Nostrils flaring
Broken nail
Wounded knee but
Carnivorous smile
If looks could kill
Laser sight homing
Batting lashes
Trigger finger
Loaded chamber
Ready
Aim
Guilty until proven guilty

Gone Rival
03:04

Unexpected splash of honey
Unexpected dash of spice
Dropped into my stark existence
Sprinkled on my cloistered life
Such a rare and freak occurrence
Shared my wonder and delight
Sung the splashing honeys' praises
Raved about the dashing spice
Guess I thought that you'd be happy
For your lonely troglodyte
I don't know what I was smoking
Must have been high as a kite
Now you're crazy mad and angry
And all we seem to do is fight
There's nothing I can do or say
That doesn't fuel your spite
Vying for survival
Reprisal and denial
Inflationary spiral
You've gone rival
What I find a bit disturbing
Is your keenness to indict
And to cast every last detail
In the worst possible light
You twist my words into your wound
You dismiss my frame of mind
You warp the past to make your case
In the end all men are swine
Noble members of the jury
The facts are pretty cut and dried
You must find the suspect guilty
Of the sins of all mankind
Can't some victories be hollow?
Why so eager to be right?
Or were you waiting for this moment
To call it a night?
Vying for survival
All sales are final
Inflationary spiral
You've gone rival

You know I wanna be with you, baby
But do you wanna be with me?
I know you wanna be with me, baby
But do I wanna be with you?
Do I wanna be with me?
Do you wanna be with you?

NSA

Watch out what you say
Round the NSA
It will be recorded
Without your OK
Watch out what you say
Round the NSA
It will be logged and cached and stored
For a rainy day
Words are like putty
Words are like clay
They can be rearranged
Into an infinite array
No matter how innocuous
No matter how inane
They can and will come back to haunt you
So watch out what you say
I love / TELEVISION
I love / BRUSSELS SPROUTS
I love / TERRORISM
I love / GUNS
Watch out what you say
Round the NSA
It can be distorted
To make you bear the blame
Watch out what you say
Round the NSA
It can and will be held against you
If there is a way
Taken out of context
By copy and paste
Conditional statements
Are an easy prey
Knock out an “if” and
Snip out a “then”
Shuffle in a “don’t”
And save it all on tape
I / DON’T / love you / VERY MUCH
I / DON’T / love you / ANY MORE
I / DON’T / love you / QUITE A BIT
I / DON’T / love you / FILTHY / HORSE
I hate / AMERICA
I hate / APPLE PIE
I hate / CALIFORNIA
I hate / JESUS CHRIST
I love / ANOTHER WOMAN
I love / ANOTHER GUY
I love / JOSEPH STALIN
I love / SADDAM AND OSAMA
I love / WALL STREET
I love / TROÏKA
I love / THE ONE PERCENT
I love / TINA
I love / RONALD REAGAN
I love / MAGGIE THATCHER
I love / MILTON FRIEDMAN
I love / GOLDMAN SACHS
TINA / JESUS CHRIST / SACHS
TINA / JESUS CHRIST / GOLDMAN SACHS
TINA / JESUS CHRIST / SACHS
TINA / JESUS CHRIST / GOLDMAN SACHS

So you're scared to lose your job
And you're scared to lose your home
And you're worried for your future
Oh don't be such a bore
You say you’re treated like a slave
That you can barely make ends meet
But I'm paying for this service
So I expect you to greet me with a
(Chorus)
Smile! Smile! Smile!
What's wrong with you?
Smile! Smile! Smile!
You know it's good for you!
Smile! Smile! Smile!
Don't be such a poo
And maybe I can love you
So you're eating cat and dog food
And you're sleeping in your car
You're not entitled to be rude
You should treat me like a rock star
So your sister walks the street
While your brother rots in jail
I feel sorry for your problems
But don't rain on my parade
Chorus
"Ours is not to reason why,
ours but to do and die."
So please don't be tearful,
Please just be cheerful and
Smile! Smile! Smile!
Don't be such a poo
And maybe I can love you
So you're diagnosed with cancer
And you're in a lot of pain
And you can't afford the treatment
Just put on a happy face
So you say you're feeling down
And you say you’re feeling blue
I don't like it when you frown
Cuz you're ruining the mood
Chorus

Better

It happened kind of suddenly I'll
grant you that
But you knew it was a target I was
aiming at
So I told you when it happened at the
drop of a hat
And that's when it all fell flat
In "better or worse" worse is the
scary part
You wouldn't think the better part would
break your heart
But the better part is what upset
the apple cart
Yeah that's when it fell apart
I didn't change, I got better
I wanted to share my happi-
ness with you
But all you saw was how it somehow
threatened you
You said I wasn't the person that
you once knew
And thats when it all fell through
Every single step I took to-
wards the light
Bred resentment fear and anger
hate and spite
Before you know it all we ever
did was fight
And that's when we turned to flight
I didn't change, I got better
