The Great Southern Trendkill



THE GREAT SOUTHERN TRENDKILL

It's wearing on my mind, I'm speaking all my doubts aloud
You rob a dead mans grave, then flaunt it like you did create
If I hit bottom and everythings gone
In the great Mississippi, please drown me and run
It's digging time again, you're nurturing the weakest trend
Those with the heart and the brain to get past this
Can spot a pathetic without even asking
Fuck your magazine, and fuck the long dead plastic scene
Pierce a new hole, if Hell was "in"
you'd give your soul
(Chorus)
THE GREAT SOUTHERN TRENDKILL
That's right,
THE GREAT SOUTHERN TRENDKILL
Buy it at a store, from MTV to on the floor
You look just like a star, it's proof you don't know who you
are
It's bullshit time again, you'll save the world within !
your t
rend
Politically relieved, you're product sold and well received
The right words spoken gold, if I was God you'd sell your soul
to...
(Chorus)


WAR NERVE

Truly, fuck the world, for all it's worth, every inch of
Planet
Earth, fuck myself, don't leave me out, but don't get
involved, don't corner me
Inside, ulcer, unjust bastards, file out face first
Meet the lies and see what you are
(Pre)
It's forcing you down, and it's grinding against you
Let the war nerve break
(Chorus)
For every fucking second the pathetic media pisses on me and
judges what I am in one paragraph - Look here - Fuck you all
Expect the worse, you bleeding heart, but kill me first
before it starts, yes my cock is getting hard, we are
born different after all
Invite mayhem, produce weapons, shoot out, burn down
No CNN or media now
(Pre)
(Chorus)
All the money in the fucking world couldn't
buy me one second of trust or one ounce of faith in anything
you're about
Fuck you all
Nothing is worth the sle!
ep tha
t I've lost
Apologies unacceptable now
A blistered revenge awaits in me
This is fucking loveless
Hate
Hate mail is not read, in jail instead
Hate
The Lord knows, there's worse
Ignore, this curse
Hate


DRAG THE WATERS

A smack on the wrists is the words from the mouth
of the outsiders, lawyers, police
A small price to pay for the dope and the guns
And the rape, it should all be O.K.
Your father is rich, he's the judge, he's the man,
he's the God that got your sentence reduced
But in the back of his mind, he well knows what
he'd find if he looked a little deeper in you - in you
(Chorus)
Drag the waters some more
Like never before
(Chorus)
Sweet is the slice and the lips - you're gonna have
that woman - she is your favorite lay
Promised you (swore) that no one had been there,
and she was going to keep it that way
Let it move in, you got thin, and got high, and
your money went and so did your friends
But she's by your side, and her smile cannot hide
the premonition of the !
beckoning end - the end
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
In with it, out with
it


10'S

My skin is cold, transfusion with somebody morose and
old, drop into fruitless dying
It was tempting and bared, the whoring angel rising
Now burning prayers, my silent time of losing
(Chorus)
My foes - they can't destroy my body
Colliding slow, like life itself
Long for the blur, we cannot dry much longer
Cement to dirt, disgusted with my cheapness
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
Reaching down, staring up (at the forgiver)


13 STEPS TO NOWHERE

Whores
Your windows boarded up, your private lives exposed
The talk shows pump it up, lab rats diseased for show
We're doomed to use the slang, outbreak of drug roulette
A church burned to the ground, not even noticed yet
13 Steps (To Nowhere)
Whores
A backwards swastika, the black skin riddled in lead
A Nazi Gangster Jew, it beats a dog that's dead
It's in to use the slang, outbreak of gun roulette
The cross slants to the side, will prove the damnedest yet
13 Steps - Leads to nowhere
The backlash dislocates, an untimely rei!
gn of
death
The wolf poked with the stick, awaits with cancerous breath
(Leads to nowhere)
Outsiders still suppose, there's Holy streets to roam
The truth should not surprise, your homes were built on lies


SUICIDE NOTE PT. 1

Cheap cocaine, a dry inhale, the pills that kill and take
the pain away
Diet of life, shelter without, the face that cannot
see inside yours and mine
(Pre)
When I'm hiding, when I need it, it lets me
breathe, for our handle on this life, I don't believe
this time
(Chorus)
Would you look at me now?
Can you tell I'm a man?
With these scars on my wrists
To prove I'll try again
Try to die again, try to live through this night
Try to die again.....
Forever fooling, free and using, sliding down the
slide that breaks a will
Mothers angel, getting smarter, how smart are
you to regress unfulfilled? It's a damn shame,
but who's to blame?
(Pre)
(Chorus)


SUICIDE NOTE PT. II

Out of my mind, gun up to the mouth
No pretension, execution, live and learn
Rape a!
nd turn
Fret not family, nor pre-judged army
This is for me, and
me only, cowards only
Try it
(Chorus)
Don't you try to die, like me
It's livid and it's lies and makes graves
It's not worth the time to try, to replenish a
rotting life
I'll end the problem, facing nothing, fuck you off,
fuck you all
Tortured history, addict of misery, this exposes me
for weakness is a magnet - watch me do it
(Chorus)
Graves descending down
Why would you help anyone who doesn't want it,
doesn't need it, doesn't want your shit advice
when a mind's made up to go ahead and die?
What's done is done and gone, so why cry?
(Chorus)


LIVING THROUGH ME (HELLS' WRATH)

I cannot take the take, your condition was nod awake
A selfish cryer, boldface liar, robbing all of what
you could take in
Stabbed towards a death, a dirty smelling girl
Shit decisions, no provisions, filling veins with juice
of chaos
(Chorus)
Painted face, olive drab, swollen hole, empty bag,
sunken eyes, whining dog, it's times like this
you should pray for never
I broke your fucking mold,!
then
threw away the
cast, new religion and new provisions, it's amazing
you're alive
Drop the needle and stop what you're changing into
Erase the end dissolving, disgrace is needed more
So I mended severed ties, through flesh we cauterized
the undeserving, sliming, writhing, I filled you up
with watered promise
(Chorus)(2nd half)
Spitting teeth, oral lust, alley fuck, angel dust, anal whore,
bleeding knees, it's times
like this to pray for murder
(Chorus #2)
So now I've seen it all, Hells' wrath , no
man has greater glory, cause now you're living through me
So I'm done with saving you, a gift unto myself, a
tired savior, a wasted favor, and I'm lucky I'm alive


FLOODS

A dead issue, don't wrestle with it, deaf ears are sleeping
A guilty bliss, so inviting (let me in), nailed to the cross
I feel you, relate to you, accuse you
Wash away us all, take us with the floods
Then throughout the night, they were raped and executed
Cold hearted world
Your language unheard of, the!
vast sound of tuning out
The rash of negativity is seen one sid
edly, burn away the day
The nervous, the drifting, the heaving
Wash away us all, take us with the floods
Then throughout the day mankind played with grenades
Cold hearted world
And at night they might bait the pentagram
Extinguishing the sun
Wash away man, take him with the floods


THE UNDERGROUND IN AMERICA

Put in position to wage teenage mayhem
A common affair for the ones who are juiced
If it is weakness that grants us the power
We thrive on what's stronger than most of the world
Glass breaks/the dimming lights/sweat, heat and profane deba-
te/
the smart ones stay on the outside/while drunken heads and
arms erupt/centered man swings a punch, spits a tooth, postu-
res
odd/a punk rock escapade/five bucks a head to be king dick in
the crowd
We are the ones who must sport the position
cheap beer/trendy clicks/lesbian love is accepted and right/
shaved heads meet hair in the mix/blending the 80's and 90's
with hate
Shows on/dates canceled/kicked out for reasons that seem !
so
un
fair/skin crusts against the cops/a foregone conclusion that's

tired and beat
Ringworm,crabs and lice/V.D. ecstasy, speed and horse/a
heaven/of unmatched importance/an honor of sex to be stuck by
the
punk
Rich homes/with money and food/abandoned for the bums on the
street/a lifestyle that's unexplainable/don't try and save
what is
all meant to be
If it is free/from (a) family that's seen/you can just keep
it
if you must beg/it's better instead/you must follow the eti-
quette
You know when it rains you're in your bed at home
You act so real when you are alone
You better not let the mohawked crowd see
Give it five years, you'll retire your piercings
You must admit that you mimic the weaklings


(REPRISE) SANDBLASTED SKIN

Scrape it, grind it, peel it, hide it
The trend is over and gone forever
Shelf it, box it, save it, frame it
You won't need that anymore, it's on sale at the dollar store
Waste of time, pantomime, circus doll, at the local mall
Exterminate, it's all fake!

Exterminate, it's all fake
Sandblast yourself
Sandblast yourse
lf
Sandblast
Sandblast
It's getting old, old, old
