Sister Machine Gun

When I'm feeling tired
And I'm feeling down
A just need to go out
And get myself a little

LUNG

If I'm getting nervous
And I can't relax
I just know all I got to do
Is go and get some

LUNG

When I can't stop coughing
And my vision's blurred
All I got to do to feel better
Is just find myself some

LUNG

When I'm walking downtown
A little after dark
I know just the place to go
Where I can buy myself some

LUNG

Well, I never had a chance to learn
The dignity won't be returned
I give you everything I have
But I get what I have earned

I talk about ? inside
The dignity won't be denied
If this what your heaven's like
Well, I think I'd rather burn

Now I lay me down to sleep
And pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take

I can't afford this sinful pride
I might as well be crucified
I thank the Lord, I try to take
This pain that has returned

Sins of the flesh and naked aggression
The only thing I hear is the voice of oppression

Well, I take the pain every night
Insanity's a dying fight
And everything I ever knew
Retreats like fantasies

Visions of a perfect life
Where every smile hides a knife
Where all I get for what I gave
Well, fuck your goddamned dreams

Now I lay me down to sleep
And then pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take

Now Jesus Christ a superstar
Just not who I think you are
Things I learned when I was young
Are never what they seem

You kiss my lips and bite my tongue
I'd like to fight it but I know I'd be wrong
You're all that I wanted but nothing I need
I'd like to hate you but I'm not that strong
You run your fingers through my brain
I haven't the words to describe the pain
I see you standing there
'Cause you think that you want me but I find myself asking

Why not, if you got nothing better to do
Why not, if it don't mean nothing to you
Why not, if you don't think I'm asking too much
Why not, why not

You turn my whole world inside out
I just don't care what it's all about
I've got to believe in something
So it might as well be you
I'd like to forget what you do to me
But you keep reminding me that I'm not free
I'm just slave
You got my heart and my soul so I shouldn't have to ask

Why not, if you got nothing better to do
Why not, if it don't mean nothing to you
Why not, if you dont think I'm asking too much
Why not, why not

I can't find words to describe the pain

I have a long, long look inside your mind
And I couldn't even believe what I saw
But when I look at you again
I see a fine, sexy lady to come inside
And you've even walked by, looking so cold
God, I've been thinking about the time we have
I think you're so tight up on the inside
That if you eased up your mind, you'd just give yourself away

Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
What I feel when I feel for you

I don't much care to think
Now that I'm thinking of you
You said you look so good
So goddamned good to me
I can hardly wait to touch you
Do the things I know you'd like me to do

Everything about you is what I want to do
Everything I'll ever need I thought I found inside of you
Never had a chance to see that for you things weren't the same
That you were just looking for another motherfucker to take the blame

Don't let me down

Never cared about the things I did when you were near
Never gave a fuck about the things other people whispered in my ear
All I know is when I'm with you nothing could go wrong
Never thought that you would run away before too long

Don't let me down

I could have died for you, once maybe that was true
But now I've fallen to the depths of despair
I don't know why you couldn't see what you wanted me to be
But now it seems that you were being that unfair

You tied this rope around my neck
Then hung me out for all to see
I didn't know anything
You took advantage of me
I'm not expecting you to apologize
In fact, I'd give anything to hear more lies

You're not my god - but I will follow you
You're not my god - but I'll do anything for you
You're not my god - but I'll find out what I do believe
You're not my god, you're not my god

I feel so ashamed that I let you have your way
And didn't fight for what was mine all along
You always told me that nothing was guaranteed
That doesn't make it any easier to be strong

You taught me everything I know
Then left me out in the rain
I've hurt for so long
There's nothing left of my pain
I hate myself to sleep at night
I just don't care anymore what's wrong or right

Body grinder, soul finder
Sometimes I need a little reminder
Put me on the straight and narrow
Now that I'm more like an arrow
Shoot your heart out, steal your mind
I don't care about what I'll find
Time to figure out what I need
So when you cut me I don't bleed
Smash a window, cut my fist
Poke my eyes out, slit my wrist
Listen when I scream for you
Then you tell me what to do
Walk all over me, I don't care
Burn my body, ?
I come up, but I won't see
Why the fuck you're killing me

Chemical traces, smiley faces
They hide the love the pain replaces
I feel my body torn apart
By the dying hold of the last embraces
Nothing matters, time stops turning
My mind in hatred hides the yearning
I would cry a thousand times
To end this sorrow, night returning

Night returning

Crucified love starts to remind
Of the life that I left behind
The only life I ever knew
Was nailed to the love of you
Nothing gained by fear and burning
Never love and never learning
I would cry a thousand times
To end this sorrow, night returning

Night returning

Run, run until you die
Another day and the sun still shines
Oh, what a mess you've got yourself in
Don't ? just one of your sins
Coming around to get you
Trying hard to forget you
There is nothing that you know
That's gonna help you when you've got to go
Tie you down and shoot you up
Don't feel good, who gives a fuck?
You always were the one to blame
Always playing stupid games
Now that it's time to learn
You don't get nothing you don't earn
Never look down the road
And never, ever let go of your life

Your life
I gave you everything

You always turned your back on me
But you're too fucking blind to see
That everything you say and do
Is gonna come back to you
Razor blade, heaven made
Don't remember what I did today
But everything goes by so fast
It doesn't matter anyway
And then you burn out ?
But I think I may go too far
The deal is made, the plan is laid
It's time for me to give you yours
Everytime you needed me
I gave you all I had and more
And now the game is over
You've forgotten all that I did for

Your life

It could bring pain like a ball and chain
Well, this artificial loving got me going insane
She took ? to go way too far
But it matters aobut as much as tears in the rain
All I wanted was just one more night
Just one more chance to make it through alright
But she fucked in my mind just like old times
And I knew it was still the same
She's my addiction

Coming around to get me again
Well, you think I know better than to trust a friend
She always gets whatever she wants
And I'll be the one that lost in the end
She got no time to waste on someone like me
She doesn't want the responsibility
But as long as I'm there she might as well
Have another go 'cause she knows
She's my addiction

You would think I'd learn my lesson by now
I'd like to kick this habit but I don't know how
'Cause though I know she'll never want me again
I'd like to think she will somehow
Someday someone will take her place
And I might be able to forget her face
But for now all I have is a memory that I wish I could erase
She's my addiction

[CHORUS]
Burnin' is my condition, baby now,
Burnin' with everything that I see.
Burnin' is my solution, baby now,
I know you think that you're better than me.

[musical interlude]

(I know you think that you're better than me)

I can barely feel like anything.
I can barely see.
I can walk over broken glass,
That cuts like a razor through my fantasies.

I can be whatever I want to.
It doesn't matter to me.
I sit and stare at this gun,
Pointed at my head and think about all the possibilities.



[CHORUS]

I never needed to feel any self control.
I never had to believe,
In anything, but my desire to never be,
What you tell me to be.

I can die whenever I want to.
It doesn't matter to me.
Take the easy way out,
To end all of my responsibilities.

[CHORUS (x2)]

[music to end]

What's the matter with me? Something's wrong inside
Is it really that bad? Is it something you hide?
Think it's just frustration? Maybe that's it
? and I really couldn't give a shit
Isn't it time to move along?
Get me out of this place where I just don't belong
Since I need a little time to think about me
And all the ways that you could set me free

What do you want from me?

I belong to the dead generation...

What's the matter with me? I'm just sitting around
In a bad situation that gets me down
? I better get off 'cause I got nowhere to be
That doesn't mean a goddamned thing to me
'Cause I really don't care at all anymore
And I don't remember what it was I was looking for
Got out of line when I got over you
And I just don't know what I have got to do

What's the matter with me? Well, you think I stopped to see
Should never underestimate the need for stability
Everytime I say I won't do it again
You bring me around, what the fuck is your problem?
I have got to get out of this place
Give me a minimum time and space
Well, I really don't care, I really don't know
I just think it's time for me to go
