You could have been anyone.
You just happened to be there.
Bullshit, call it.
Rich man, so suave.
Don’t stop winning—
Cocaine habit.
This is the last you’ll see
Of the richest rich guy.
Look at me flash my watch.
Gonna get rich, drink Scotch.
Gonna buy a new boat.
Gonna build castle moats.
Look at my trophy wife—
Don’t you just hate your life?
Better watch, better look.
Better job, better run.
You could have been anyone.
You just happened to be there.
Bullshit, call it.
Strong man, big hunk.
Oil, please, lover.
Don’t sweat, too tough.
This is the last you’ll see
Of the biggest big guy.
Look at me flex my wrist.
Gonna get big and twist.
Gonna get on the stage.
Gonna be all the rage.
Show me your empty smile.
I’ve got bulk and style.
Better pose, better flex.
Better move, better dance.
Better watch, better look.
Curly hair, better locks.
Bigger man, better tan.
Killer bod, better look.
Better watch, better look.
Better move, better run.

Fascists in the streets
Wave those hateful flags—
Smash them in the teeth.
Spewing bitter fears,
Pride in better ghosts,
Hearts of sour tears.
South won’t rise again.
The most sacred lot
Sides for now with sin.
Only break one law—
One law at a time—
Like a fascist’s jaw.
Hateful, jealous men
Hide behind the badge—
Fragile, flinching hens
Chant it to the cops,
Yell it through the streets,
Pull out all the stops:
“Do not build the wall.
Do not raid the homes.
Don’t make children crawl
In the dirty gutters,
Begging for the lives
Of their blessed mothers.”
“Move it along, son.
Nothing to see here.
Move it along, son.
Nothing to see.
I’ve got a new badge
Made of your old skulls.
This is my big gun—
Nothing to see.”
With dumb little jokes,
Cops will always mock
Different kinds of folks.
Guns are always wrong—
Even you know what.
Singers, know your songs.
Everyone can speak.
We all have that right—
Monsters, mobs and meek.
Only break one law—
One law at a time—
Like a fascist’s jaw.
Hateful, jealous men
Hide behind the badge—
Fragile, flinching hens.
Chant it to the cops,
Yell it through the streets,
Pull out all the stops:
“Do not build the wall.
Do not raid the homes.
Don’t make children crawl
In the dirty gutters,
Begging for the lives
Of their blessed mothers.”

Current Wars

Everything that sparkles, shines or plugs into the wall—
It seems like magic, but it’s probably just electrical.
Currents come direct, but better through alternation,
But Edison bullied science with public relations.
Thomas Edison murdered Topsy Elephant.
Edison fried Topsy when he starred in the first film
He claimed AC was dangerous, and he made a chair that kills.
Thomas Edison murdered Topsy Elephant.
Boredom is a right murdered by electric light.
Westinghouse and Tesla wanted power inexhaustible—
That means the sun, but robber barons still tell you, “clean coal.”
If it makes them a dollar, they’ll pretend they’re ignorant,
Sell power with lies, just like Edison and the elephant.
Thomas Edison murdered Topsy Elephant.
Boredom is a right murdered by electric light.

Big Milk

Like you when you’re dry.
Like you when you’re wet.
I like it when your body’s
Sticky with my sweat.
Stick it deep inside,
Sticky with your spit,
Stings like a bee cup
All over your lips.
I'm all yours.
I'm your suckling pig.
I want to nurse, Big Milk.
I wanna touch your leg,
And crawl up your stairs,
And show me your room—
Good Norwegian wood.
We’ll play bride and groom.
You sure treat me well,
Then, we drink and eat—
Coffee in the morning,
Make it nice and sweet.
Be dainty about it.
Nibble on the edge—
Sweet nothings, dirty somethings—
Careful with your legs.
Careful when you let it
Trickle from its pack.
Mind your sugar now, honey,
Can’t take sweetness back.
It cuts through bitter
Like milk in a dream.
I want to see you naked.
I want to see you cream.
Hey Big Milk, you’re hot.
Hey Big Milk, you’re walking hot.
Love you when you’re dry.
Love you when you’re wet.
I love it when my body’s
Sticky with your sweat.
Walk out in the world.
The world has a laugh,
“I’d tell you not to blow it,
But you already have.”
No modern lover would
Ever kiss and tell,
But there ain’t no way
That this will end well.
Have my milk with sugar.
Have my milk again.
Drink my milk, and steam my milk,
And where there's love, there’s pain.
Hey Big Milk, you’re hot.
Hey Big Milk, you’re walking hot.
Hey Big Milk, you’re hot.
Hey Big Milk, you curdle hot.
Lick you where you’re dry.
Lick you where you’re wet.
I love it when your body’s
Sticky with my spit.
Lock your lips around
Whatever you can find.
I’m coming unhinged.
I’m losing my mind.
A cart with no horse,
A horse with no carriage,
It should come as no surprise:
I’m bad at marriage.
I'm the scorpion.
She’s the river frog.
My nature is to sting—
We’ll drown in bog
Like you when you’re dry.
Love it when you’re wet.
In all our fluids:
Blood, milk and sweat
I like my milk steamed.
I like my milk raw.
I want to see you naked.
I want to see you crawl.

Best saddle up.
Best saddle up and ride.
Nowhere to run.
Nowhere to run and hide.
Pretty one,
We’ll see how that’ll last.
You’ve got no future.
You’re living in the past.
All hat and no horse.
All chorus and no verse.

You tell me you’re not happy with what you’ve got back home.
He seems like such a nice guy—guess that’s the way it goes.
You’ve got some restless needs I’m happy to fulfill.
The sight of your naked knees gives me a little thrill.
You want to play doctor, I’ll show you where it hurts.
You want a taste of blood, I’ll open up my shirt.
I want to see your body. I love your armpits’ smell.
Every time I’m at your door, you look so scared and pale.
What you need’s a slasher who always wears a mask—
Someone with a hunger to chase you down at last.
Show me where your scars are. Let me lick your wounds.
Want you here. I want you now. I want you in my room.
You’ve been on the run from fascists and the past.
I may be a killer, but, darlin’, we’ll have a blast.
What you need’s a slasher who always wears a mask—
Someone with a hunger to chase you down at last.
Not the man you lie to—the man you lie with.
If I can be your devil, you can be my witch.
You want to play doctor, I’ll show you where it hurts.
You want a taste of blood, I’ll open up my shirt.
Who knows consequences? Who even really cares?
A horror movie slasher with feelings to share—
Not an ideal model, a man proud of sins.
Won’t someone please think of the damned children?
What you need’s a slasher who always wears a mask—
Someone with a hunger to chase you down at last.
Show me where your scars are. Let me lick your wounds.
Want you here. I want you now. I want you in my room.
Boring movie.
Bloody lover.

Big city, nowhere to park.
Big city, just drive around.
Big city, it’s after dark.
Big city, let’s rip it up.
Get in the car.
Drive it away.
Drive it all night.
Drive it all day.
Drive past the cops—
Give ’em a wave.
No need to stop—
It’s doughnuts they crave
Don’t take no right turns—always turn left.
Behind the wheel, I always feel stressed.

Pour another drink in your red cup.
Nothing’s gonna start til you drink it all up.
Why you babysitting two or three shots?
Gonna show you how to turn it up a notch.
Rally ’round the keg, pump it til it foams,
Add a little something to make your guts groan.
We’ve got inside jokes and a secret shake.
Things are gonna get weird at the clambake.
Pour another drink down.
Pour another drink down.
I'm the chapter captain. Call me Mr. Jones.
Those little tri-Delts about to get dosed.
Some folks like water. Some folks like wine.
I like the taste of straight strychnine.
Crack a lot of jokes, feeling pretty great.
Careful not to turn into the thing that you hate.
Pour another drink down.
Pour another drink down.
Omega Epsilon Rho.
We’re going out in your town,
Drinking whiskey on down.
Going out like Jonestown—
Lost and then found.

Hit the Showers

“Love yourself—
No better way
To start the day.
Then hit the showers.
Walk the halls—
You look so cute,
Plaid skirt and boots.
Then hit the showers.
After school,
You’ll come see me.
We’ll have some fun.
Then hit the showers.
Locker talk
With good ol’ coach
And busy hands.
Then hit the showers.”
“Nothing of your favors! You’re a bastard, old man coach. You aren’t a pretty one, an ugly one, or something in between. You are the fattest albatross. You are a burden in the way. No gentleman of safety, so I’ll rip you with my powers in a telepathic blast. You are a bastard, old man coach! You are a bloated, chunky walrus and a liar all the time! You’re a sweaty, fat, face-sucker sucking like a little leech! You aren’t a pretty one!”

Broom, your splinters on my thighs.
Broom, a pleasure to ride.
Broom, I’ll skin us a rabbit.
Broom, every night’s our sabbath.
Broom, we’ll fly in the night’s sky.
Broom, tonight I’m your bride.
Broom, the devil may follow—
Broom, we’ll choose where to go.
Broom, they’re ready to burn us.
Broom, we’re ready to curse.
Throw me deep in the water—
You’ll see that I just won’t drown.
Burn me high at the stake—
There’ll be no ash on the ground.
Throw me deep in the river—
You’ll see that I just won’t drown.
Burn me high at the stake.
Kids, you’ll come run through the forest.
Kids, come to gingerbread house.
Kids, you’ll come run through the forest.
Kids, you’ll come, gingerbread house.

Travel through space and time—
Nothing else beats the doldrums.
Give up the price of fame.
Don’t leave the novels undone.
Pressing the flesh for fun.
Nothing to say, but there’s one.
Pulling the false alarm—
Spit in the face of time.
There’s a clock,
Always on—
Turn it off.
Ticking the day away,
There is no cure for the age.
Blocking the sun for all,
Time will then turn them all gray.
Curse them for all their lives.
They’ve got a book that tells all.
Fixing the clocks of steam,
Your skin is now covered in hives.
Spit in the face of time.
Cry in the face of the light.
Pulling the false alarm,
Wronging what was called right.
Bury your crying brain,
Looking for easy answers.
Pushing the past along—
How can you support that?
Ticking the day away,
There is no cure for the age.
Blocking the sun for all,
Time will then turn them all gray.
Separate wheat from chaff
Won’t even help that much.
You think you’re so special?
Don’t even make me laugh.
Forgot what you think you know.
Nothing to see but the bone.
Pulling your face aside,
Nothing to see but the bone.
