good morning boys and girls and welcome to my freakshow please form a single line and keep your eyes turned low be careful, what you see belongs to infamy it's taken quite some time to put this here for you let's move along now so there are some things to show we'll dedicate your suffering to this neverending freakshow on the left you'll find the natural world or at least the smell of hunger we've done our best to cage the beast and humiliate the thunder if you look closely enough you'll see they are quite tame they watch tv with the rest of you and cower from the rain let's move along now so there are more things to show we'll dedicate your suffering to this neverending freakshow on the right you'll find the race of gods I'm sure you know the halos the lot of them are playing dice to negotiate their payloads if you listen close enough you'll hear they are quite lame they bitch about most everything and it all remains the same let's move along now so there is one more to go we'll dedicate your suffering to this neverending freakshow and here at centre stage we find the main attraction that pomous brood of buffed babboons who kill with every action if your sense is sharp enough you'll recognize your face and see this tribe of imbecils is but the human race now move along now so but there is nowhere to go you'll dedicate your suffering in this neverending freakshow

I'm roughshod, clawhammered four sheets to the wind but I swear I'll find a way to win you back again I'm steampowered, plague-riddled burned down from the knees but I swear I'll find a way to win you back again An idea of perfection is something that can poison reality and reality makes the idea of perfection hilarious If you watch the most beautiful thing in the world, soon enough you'll hear a toilet flush I'm brain rattled nerves addled sticking to the wall but I know you need me more than alcohol I'm driftwood crucified leaking like a sieve but I know you need me more than alcohol All the angels sing some mighty fine singing but all their songs are about naked women If you wait here long enough, they'll all show up they'll be looking for cheap cigars to smoke while watching tv.

You Wanna 02:57
you wanna have my word well my word it ain't worth nothin not worth a scrap of paper or a stone at the bottom of the sea but listen to me you wanna take my time but my time it can't be taken it won't do a damn thing for you just roll away and go yeah I'll tell you so so why don't you just find another dog to steal his bones and slap his ears you wanna make me move but you won't get me moving I'll stay here til I rot and there's nothing you can do nothin I want you to you want me to be a man but that's just what I'm being and one day I'm gonna die maybe then you'll leave me alone yeah, all alone so why don't you just find another dog to steal his bones and slap his ears and why don't you stop living in a fog and see that I just ain't worth your time?

Carnivore 02:11
bite through this grits your teeth tasteless as light but sweet as pity smile pretty they want you that way fill the void in somebody's vision tear the flesh from the bones and roar carnivore scratch away this hurts your skin eases the mind but sharp as sorrow tomorrow they'll take it from you so raise your head and pose for the camera sink your teeth and set your jaw to the depth of what you are tear the flesh from the bones and roar carnivore

Sanitized 04:46
your mind is sanitized that rusty spring has broken you once believed in something more than bad tv your life is cauterized you used up your last token you only have the sense that you're a tragedy be a good boy now keep things in their place try to be a little less disturbing put your pencils down pass your papers up try to find a place to hide your memory think of all the cost think of all the loss how we've made the world a perfect bed for you you must stand in line you must stand in line in line in line in line! your soul is sanitized but sleeping in the gutter try to make the best of what we've left for you your life is mesmerized and ready to be eaten you must agree that this is what you wanted be a good boy now and stay in your place try to be a little less distracted you must stand in line you must stand in line in line in line in line!

Divisible 04:37
your god is like a windmill but I am like a trick the hand that does not guide you will beat you with a stick so swing around your miracles and all will move aside while you are watching fireworks I'll burn away the sky are we divisible? call me invisible. outside of knowing where we are going? your man is like a nightmare but I am like the moon the hand that does not starve you will feed you with a spoon so crack apart your prisons there's nothing locked inside while you perform your rituals I'll drown them in the tide are we divisible? call me invisible weeds in a garden wanting a pardon outside of knowing where we are growing are we divisible? Call me invisible run away run away now run down the road or through through the field away from here and everywhere but leave behind your cruelty

the little girl laughed at the boy who shot the dog but it was not funny it was not funny the old man cried as the door closed in his face and was he man enough was he man enough you believe in acts of contrition but I believe there's a right to shake your head and go the young man watched while the house was burning down He couldn't look away wouldn't turn away the woman fell when the man told her the news and what's left now will there be anything now you believe in pleas for absolution but I believe there's a right to take your pain and go

I know that you've been sensing every minute, every hour that you live life like a bee from flower to flower and that it's not enough to satisfy the thirst another comes along that's just as pretty as the first And I know that what you wanted was pleasure free of pain but life is such a tricky bitch it all ends up in vain you'll take another shot to satiate desire but one more shot is just enough to make you want another and they lied when they told you that being good was really good enough and they lied when they told you that being bad will get you in the end the sad fact is the remainder is always greater than what you take away I know that you've been thinking every minute, every day of how you can get out of this and not give much away but weakness isn't virtue indulgence isn't power you'll get when they throw you out for pissing in the flowers While you're standing weeping I'll tell you one more fable there was a man who gave his food to others at the table I'm sure you think there's more but I assure you there ain't nothing's more preposterous than sanctifying saints for they lied when they told you that being good meant anything at all and they lied when they told you that wickedness will lead you to the pit the sad truth is all those stories have the ripened smell of righteous bullshit
