Lyrics

Yeah
 ♪
 Nowhere to go
 No place to go
 I'm real screwed up
 My eyes are sore from smoking all that shit
 No place to go
 Bottomless heart
 So big that everything just gets lost in there
 And if it never comes out
 That's okay by me
 And on the other side
 At the top there may light at the end of the tunnel
 I just don't think I'll be the same
 I'm just warning you
 I'm warning you all
 No crutches, no, nothin'
 I am going to live the end
 Apocalypse man!
 What the hell else is there to do?
 I want a mission
 Not a gig or a good time, I want a mission
 Scrawny stiff legs and despair come walkin' my way with an achy step
 Shipwrecked souls, desolation paradise
 Bountiful wonderland of lost souls staggering around, arms outstretched, looking for something
 Lonely hero man sitting on the crest of the apocalypse
 And our boy says something like, uh
 "Hey sir, I'm a man away from home, and my soul is out on loan
 Could you throw us down a bone, so I wouldn't be all alone?
 'Cause I wanna see it all, and I wanna have it all
 And I wanna see it fall, and I wanna take it all away"
 February 13th
 Birthday, new shirt around my neck
 Shivers up and down my spine
 The time is mine and I'm feelin' fine
 And I take this one thin dime
 Call my mom on the phone and say
 Say, something to warm her heart
 Say, uh, "Your boy done fucked up
 Had a bit of hard luck, went down a wrong trail, messed with some wrong people and just lost his mind
 Just lost his mind
 Just lost his mind
 Lost his mind
 Lost his mind
 Lost his mind
 Lost his mind"
 Jumped! Get stuck in the trunk, stuck in the jungle
 And their jokes and their pokes and their wrong side looks
 And all the notes in the books
 And all the wrong turns and all the bad burns
 And he never learned
 Kept burning, and he never got to learn
 One wrong turn led to another wrong turn
 Dog people!
 These people are for real!
 They watch television!
 They run in circles!
 They bark like dogs!
 They nip at my heels!
 They wanna put a collar around my neck!
 They want me to be like them!
 Well, I just walk right past, right over 'em, right though 'em, right on top of them
 I crush their face
 'Cause it's easy
 'Cause they're nothing!
 'Cause they're nothing
 Little dogs
 Humping dogs
 Sticking that thing in any crap that passes by
 Dirt falling in my mind
 Dirt gettin' stuck in my mouth
 Dirt gettin' stuck in my eyes
 Seeing everything through dirt
 All I see is dirt, all I know is dirt
 Just talkin' dirt, talkin' dirt
 Digging dirt, loving dirt, rolling in dirt
 Dirt river, dirt slithers, dirt lovers, dirt undercover, dirt over color
 Ah
 ♪
 I've felt dirty before, but it never felt quite like this
 I've seen dirt before, but it never looked quite looked quite like this
 I've talked dirt before, but it never sounded quite like this
 ♪
 That's not the way it is
 That's just the way it is around here
 Around these parts
 Oh!
 It took a long time to make a long rhyme
 It took a long time to make a story short
 It took a lot of lives and a lot of lies to make this story what it is
 And stretch it into a disgusting distortion, and proportion, and detail
 And you can retail that, and sell it to the market and see what you get
 Bring back the proceeds and we'll spend it on
 Something of worth
 Something that'll save me
 Something that'll get me out of here
 There's nothing I want more... out
 There's nothing I like to roll in like dirt
 Look
 Cheated myself
 Looked at myself
 Hated myself
 And if we could all just get together and hate a little
 We could hate one another
 Hate our sisters and brothers in a sea of disunity
 Get my fill when the blood spills
 Get my fill when the blood spills
 Get my fill when the blood spills
 Get my freeze with the chill spells
 Get my thrills with the cheers feel
 I get my thrills with the tears' fills
 The glass breaks
 Shivers up and down my spine and I'm feeling fine
 I'm feeling fine, the time is mine
 ♪
 Spending time to time getting my fill
 And all the bells ring inside my head
 Alarms going on and off
 All fucked up
 All messed up
 Open my eyes, too much breathing
 Too much of that fucking dirty air
 Makes me talk shit
 Makes me live shit
 Makes me wanna kiss the ground, better than kissing you
 Dirt girl, in that dirt dress
 What's up that dirt dress?
 What's up that dirt dress?
 Ain't nothing but a bunch of trash
 Ain't nothing but a bunch of trash
 Ain't nothing but a bunch of trash
 Ain't nothing but a bunch of trash, but you seem to have me quite interested
 Quite interested
 I think I'll walk your way, I think I'll say your name
 I think I'll come over to your house
 Mmm, got something for me?
 Got something for me?
 I'm the man among men walking tall with a plan
 You can send it around the world, you can hold it in your hand
 You can bring it on home, I'm Armageddon man, girl
 Armageddon man, girl
 Armageddon man, girl
 And I want the whole world
 I want the whole world
 I want the whole world
 I wanna make this place a better place
 Send my shovel and face
 Everywhere
 A statue of my effigy
 They erected a slum in my name
 Henry Rollins memorial slum
 Henry Rollins memorial pit
 Got a grave with my name
 Got a grave that always looks the same
 Through the eyes of a fuckin' bug
