Johnny Rottentail Yeah, when I go over yonder, I will see my mother, my sister and my father, but my brother is going to hell. Well they hung him from the gallows, as the sun turned red from yellow. The crowd they heard him halting, and they sighed with much relief. The preacher asked him for any last words. My brother spit onto his clean shirt, and he smiled without redemption and said, "This is one soul God don't need." Though I loved him, I won't miss him, as he's burnin and he's twistin, for his heartless dedication to the devil and its creed. As a child we called him rotten, till he was lonely and forgotten. And he revenged our constant jeering, with his every word and deed. Oh and for my contribution, and the soul's lack of retribution, I would ask the Lord's forgiveness, on my very bended knee. It's the tale of Johnny Rotten, who was lonely and forgotten. Its the tale of my only brother, and its the tale of one bad seed. c.2000 Amy Ray back to top 2. Laramie We hit snow on the road to Laramie. We all heard about that mess, but that town ain't nothing different than the rest. Poor man do the bidding for the rich man. Those rednecks are just doing what the classy fuckers' thinking. And tolerance it ain't acceptance; I know you wanted it to be, when you're out in Laramie. Hey all you jokers hunting seasons over. Hey coalition lay down your mission. What we need is a little addition, an ounce of prevention, and the weight of the law. Cause without something you could put your finger on, somewhere somebodys gonna call, call out Laramie Hey all you jokers hunting seasons over. Hey coalition lay down your mission. c.2000 Amy Ray back to top 3. Lucystoners We were talking ticket slump, trying to put our finger on it. Quantify the undoing... of each little step-its just a lack of press. The refrigerator down at the boys club with its little magnets of poetry, finding one hundred different ways to say blow me... Well...Janny Wenner Janny Wenner-Rolling Stone's most fearless leader- gave the boys what they deserve ,but with the girls he lost his nerve. In every post punk bar there's a dressing room wall where the rockboy band will make its mark- one hundred different pictures of private parts and some girl going down. And all the faggot bashing poetry but the boys are just saying, "love me please." In every hate filled phrase they just give it away... ah boys, you give youselves away... You know...Janny Wenner Janny Wenner-Rolling Stone's most fearless leader- gave the boys what they deserve ,but with the girls he lost his nerve. Testing 1,2,3 in the marketplace-its just a demographic based disgrace, and a stupid, secret, whiteboy handshake that we'll never be part of. So when its DJ Blow and the morning show, I'll give you one hundred reasons to just say no... Come on girls, lets go, right now... Cause Lucy Stoners don't need boners, ain't no man could ever own her, with the boys she had the nerve to give the girls what they deserve. c.2000 Amy Ray back to top 4. hey castrator i want the bloody boy yeah i want you holding it so tight like its the truth i see you licking your lips at the slope of her hips i got disgusted with my own ownership my own ownership all the girls who make the cut avoided me all the ones who aren't enough just make me mean and the boys that take you to the high school prom recruit you with flattery i hate myself for turning on i hate myself for turning on hey finally take it out of me its the strongest part it won't let me be you can have it back it just makes me ill you can have it back it just makes me kill hey castrator take this strong out of me take this strong out of me c.2000 Amy Ray back to top 5. Late Bloom I won't be a pawn. We roughed it up when we were young. I won't say," So much for that, what do you do when it is done?" Cause I know we grow, when its over. I used to dream with all the force of Solyent Green. Lazy geese and the weather warm. Oh my life of humidity. But I know we grow, when its over. All that time I spent walking behind. I don't mind, cause now I know. They ran us out of town. Oh come on, they cut us down, raised the flag of the fealty, oh the life of futility. But I know we grow, when its over. All that time you were walking the line. I don't mind, cause now i know. We grow when its over, we grow. c.Amy Ray back to top 6. Measure of Me The boy he thinks I'm damaged goods. I know he does and I guess he should. I dress like him, I take him down. He gets embarrassed when his friends come around. I want to take him to the show, I'm crossing over what you know. Is it the boy you need in me, or the girl that you could be? Come on now social, I want you to be. Come on now graceful, I want you to be. Come on now special, I want you to be. I want you. And so this is the measure of me, even though it shouldn't be. The lion lays down with the lamb. I can't do it, so I ain't worth a damn. Come on now social, I want you to be. Come on now graceful, I want you to be, Come on now special, I want you to be. Come on now social, I want you to be. c.2000 Amy Ray/Kaia Wilson back to top 7. black heart today she brings me spanish clemintine i eat them by the waterside throw the peels and taste the clean how could i still feel so mean take this meanness out of me i got a black heart today no amount of kindness can turn it the other way even the dogs are tired of me howling at the trees take this meanness out of me i got a black heart today c.2000 Amy Ray back to top 8. mtns of glory call up my rockboy finally score he's got drama like a toreador me and the bottle we're on the mend tired of winning gonna lose again i'm gonna miss being the boy i'm gonna miss being the man when i go down to f-l-a sand in my shoes makes me think of you i can't get it out its kinda rough i like the way it feels but its not enough i'm gonna miss being the boy i'm gonna miss being the man hey baby don't you need me now mtns of glory mtns of glory i said hey baby don't you want to feel mtns of glory mtns of glory i said hey baby don't you miss me now mtns of glory mtns of glory i said hey baby don't you want to feel these mtns of glory mtns of glory i'm gonna miss being the boy i'm gonna miss being the man c.2000 Amy Ray back to top 9. lazyboy if a tree falls you're not gone at least for me i didn't hear just a long break and some time away with some things to repair and its a lazyboy and a big mistake going round and a funny stare and your beauty shop hair coming down joyful joyful but not feeling it at all there are some things that don't mend squander the days in a wrongful haze to distract and suspend and its a lazyboy and a big mistake going round and a funny stare and your beauty shop hair coming down c.2000 Amy Ray back to top 10. ON YOUR HONOR I have a picture, your fist in the air, I'm standing behind you, I am still here. They're mining your body, the scene of a crime. Did they do you one last favor, killing your blood line? I'm here to relieve all the ones that fought for you and fought for me. I want to relate, put away your hate, put away your hate. The breath of the nightjar, the stars in the sky, a killer for comfort, I'm not gonna lie to you. They paid off the piper with a government gun, whoever you came for, left all alone. Yeah, but I'm here to relieve all the ones that fought for you, they fought for me. Yeah, I want to relate, put away your hate, put away your hate. Our father's house is a house of regret, with rooms I can't sleep in and jokes I don't get. Now you're on your honor to be on my side. Surely there are some things that won't be denied. Yeah, I'm here to relieve all the ones that fought for you, they fought for me. Yeah, I want to relate, put away your hate, put away your hate. c. 2000 Amy Ray back to top |
