King Of The Castle lyrics
You're blaming me and I'm blaming you and there isn't one damn thing that
either of us can do cause you think I get all the breaks I think all you do is
take, we both end up empty handed, no one takes the cake
There's a fine line between black and white,
on the outside we appear as different as day and night
but deep inside our souls we share the same pain
we're both at the bottom of the heap
and it's drivin us insane
United we stand and divided we fall and we keep on falling til
there's nothing left at all, but still you stand on the other side,
even though we're in the same boat, I guess it'll always be that way
tour hands around my throat.
There's a fine line between truth and lies keep in mind the
next time you hear you're families cries
live your whole life filled with hate
you have nothing to gain
we both got to make it in this world and it's driving us insane
You can keep a good man down
if he won't stand up and fight
it's time to wake up
it's time to see the light
equality doesn't exist
it's just an ideal in the mind
there's not enough to go around
so take what you can find
Mud on your face
Kick me sign on your back
they took it all
it's time to take it back
do unto others
and watch them beat you down
don't fall below the surface
they'll let you drown
they'll let you down
Black and blue
Tattered and torn
You've been gettin stepped on
since the day that you were born
they say give up
cause you can't win
you're stuck on hte outside
and they wont let you in
I took all the crap I can
and I can't take no more
if they won't let me in
I'm breaking down the door
Disregard the rules
Disregard the laws
they'll get you nothing
I want it all
they'll lead you to believe
that you're doing just fine
they'll live like kings
and you'll fall farther behind
I remember a song i had to sing when i was 10
You came into my life through a revolving door
there for a short time, then you're there no more
you will always be a small part of me
but friends again, we can never be
you were there yesterday, but now you're gone
we used to be so happy, then something went wrong
you were always there, you were a part of me
but now you're nothing more than a faded memory
see you every now and then, in my photo book
and then i turn the page and you don't get a second look
i must admit, that i wonder what you're doing now
looking back to yesteryear i can't see how
we got so crazy
sometimes i almost lost my mind
we were young and foolish
were so naive
growing up can be so unkind
when it's yourself that you cannot find
go ahead and live your own life
knowing i don't blame you
i was also in the wrong
safe to say we both have changed
two birds of a different feather
never meant to get along
(Carl L. Marsh)
plough up a field of money
scatter your seed
mind over matter? well it matters
to me candy
riding an ark political sparkle
cast the first stone you'll be making
a mark indeed
there goes caution to the wind
again so get in
hitch-hike it to the edge of beyond
and get gone
at the limit of the evening shade
i raise a glass to you candy
i think you've got it made
if you thing the future lies
in tomorrow's troubled eyes
you're wrong candy it lies with me
atomic candy...turn out
all the lights and let me see
atomic candy...incandescent
flame of liberty
atomic candy...i'll take one bite
out of you if you unwrap me
high on the stuff of legend
scoring the dream
richer for poorer you can pour it
all over me
catching a wave imaginary
saviour
take the next turn candy there'll be
some days indeed
if you feel the future near
hiding paralysed with fear
it's ok candy you're here with me
atomic candy
atomic candy oh
if you thing the future waits
through somebody's pearly gates
hold on candy and wait for me
I hear voices in my mind, voices from the past that always
seem to find, seem to find thier way, way into my head, whispering to
me what other people said, said to me, I try to ignore, ignore what they
say, but these voices they won't go away
These voices they come from all around tell me how to live, try to bring me
down, down to Earth, but Earth is so boring, they don't want me
to hope, and dont want me to dream,dreams are a waste of time, time is running
out, that's what they say I try to ignore, but they won't go away
```***~~
Cycle of uncertainty spinnin round' and round'
when will it ever stop, when I'm 6 feet underground?
Mom i wanna be just like you
Smokin crack
Dad i wanna end up like you
with a bullet in my back
15 and pregnant
a kid with a kid
don't blame me
i'm just livin like my parents did
poverty breeds poverty
want living proof? just look at me
another peice of ghetto trash
that's all that I'll ever be
cycle of uncertainty spinnin round and round
when will it ever stop, when i'm 6 feet underground?
i can't see past these inner city walls
i got no need for rules, i got no need for laws
i steal, i kill, to make it through the day
i got so many problems and they wont just go away
nowhere to run
nowhere to go
just trying to make it to tomorrow
can't you see what's goin on??
Fucked up parents
making fucked up kids
One day an alien landed in my backyard
At 1st i thought it was Captain Picard
but then i saw green tentacle things
and i knew it wasn't good tidings that they bring
I got abducted by aliens
they electro beamed me up to thier ship
strapped me to a table and i heard something rip
it was my skull, they cut it in half
tickled my brain, then they made me laugh
I got abducted by aliens
blubbering like a baby, i confessed all my sins
in my arms and legs, they stuck some pins
jabbed a metal probe up my butt
and back on Earth, they call me a nut
I got abducted by aliens
They dropped me off, then they cruised
as i lay there feeling used and abused
and now they say my brain is out of whack
just because i'm waiting for my alien friends to come back
I got abducted by aliens
Born without a chance in hell
condemned from the womb
on a one way trip
destination: an early tomb
two kids from the hood
two numbers on a chart
she didn't finish high school
he didn't even start
mommy got herself pregnant
to keep him around
but daddy left anyway
and she's findin' out what single motherhood is all about
the statistics are frightening
hte odds are stifling
you may not like what you hear
offspring's of the have nots
and even less
a world of anarchy is here
and we're told we have nothing to fear
(REPEAT)
a few years later
mom and son don't have a place to rest thier head
while daddy rots in San Quentin
with free room and bed
mommy O.D.'s in an empty garbage bin
and her son's picture's on an empty milk carton
while the politicians play with thier million dollar toys
we're losing handfuls of little girls and little boys
I like to color with my crayons
I like to play with bloody tampons
I like to play with my G I Joes
I am always pimpin the hoes
Barney is my favorite show
Debbie Does Dallas is my favorite porno
My family's like the Brady Bunch
I eat little Cindy out for lunch
I like to slap girls in the face
HAPPY CAMPERS ROCK THE PLACE!!!!!
Life sucks then you die, so sit around and sulk, sit around
and cry another stoopid girls' got you down again, had another
fling and lost another friend why can't I stay interested in you
for longer than a day?
I tried commitment, I tried and ended up the victim of
other people's lust Put my faith in other people's hands, fell flat
on my face won't try that again
Why can't you stay interested in mr for longer than a day
Longing so much to care, it seems i can't cause I'm caringly impaired
I don't want to hurt myself, moslty I don't want to hurt anybody else
Nowadays it gets so hard to try
it's like they say Once bitten, Twice shy
Aw, what the hell, I'll throw the dice
again and take it past the point of being only friends
Maybe we'll lose and maybe we'll win, but there's no going back to being only
freinds
Got a leaky faucet
the water comes out brown
the handle falls off the toilet
when I push it down
stains on the floor
glass for a front door
Home Sweet Home
Mildew in the shower
Mildew in the sink
something in the fridge
and it's really starting to stink
Got a couple bugs
neighbors' all on drugs
Home Sweet Home
King of the castle
Yeah that's me
and I can think of a few places
I would rather be
but I'm here to stay for now
and i call this dump home somehow
No hot water
I take my showers cold
the fridge door's fallin off
and the oven's really old
Airplanes over head
awake the living dead
Home Sweet Home
No food in the cupboards
the roaches gettin mad
screamin
Help! there's a girl in my bed
thought's are runnin through my head
somethin' must be said
I think she wants to spend the night
I don't mind but her boyfriend might
somethin' don't feel right
I won't sleep tonight i know
cause I have no self control
she don't mind
why should i say no
how far will we go
will we take things slow
will she like me tomorrow
maybe its all wrong
but I'm feelin fine
cause i know tonight
you'll be mine
live for the moment don't think ahead
cause all that really matters tonight
is lying in my bed
Everyone else has gone to sleep
I should be countin sheep
tryin hard not to make a peep
but her skin brushes against mine
sends a shiver down my spine
call in sick for work tonight
find it very hard to sleep
probably had to much to drink
I hope my breath don't stink
our lips begin to touch
I want her so much
Yeeaaahhhh
Sit around all day remote control glued to my hand
Just waiting for a visit from Ed McMahon
Oppourtunity is knockin but I can't open the door
Cause I'm shit faced drunk passed out on the kitchen floor
I'm a bum
Wating for my fortune to fall into my lap
but if I gotta work for it I'd rather take a nap
I can eat, I can sleep, I can play nintendo
but if you paid me to go to work, I still wouldn't go
I'm a bum
I'm a bum
sit around all day
and I get nothin' done
I'm a bum
I'm a bum
that's right
I'm a bum
The boob tube replaced the dog
as man's best friend
doesn't shit on the floor
always has an ear to lend
nacho supreme, a pizza
ten hours of tv
is all my life will ever be
if i could pick lotto numbers
like i pick my nose
I'd escape the life of bein' an average Joe
Til' then I'll just sit around all day
remote control in hand
just waiting for a visit from Ed McMahon
Welcome to the USA ,we're still number one
but we're waiting to explode just like a loaded gun
land of the free, home of the brave
but every other child ends up in an early grave
the children are the future
so they say
but the parents had a party
and now the kids must pay
The worlds last superpower
falling to it's darkest hour
Welcome to the USA, we're slippin through the cracks
walkin' on a mountain of the old folks broken backs
they did thier time, they fought our wars
but now they are no use to us, so it's time to close the doors
Peace and Harmony are just a dream
our own damn government can't work as a team
Republicans and Democrats, in a constant fight
it's not what's best for us, it's who's wrong or right
World's Last Superpower,
falling to it's darkest hour
Races divided, religions collided
youth neglected, ideas rejected
beliefs conflicted, to hate we're all addicted
no one wants to get involved
and still nothings solved
Welcome to the USA, now kindly turn around
we got our own problems, you'll only bring us down
give me your tired, give me your poor
the statue may have stood for something,but not anymore
Hey there Mr. Living in a Box, how do u do?
it's a shame our criminals in jail live better than you
the rich don't like to share thier money, it makes them mad
so if your starving kid needs health care, it's too damn bad.
A time not long ago
friends would come and go
but one or two
would seem to stick around
Hangin' out like everyday
seems they'll never go away
best freinds are forever
they'll always be down
it seems we're at the start
of when things fall apart
it won't be long before we go our seperate ways
You've changed
and so have I
think I know the reasons why
but I can't take us back to the good ol' days
How could you change so much?
You changed so drastically
It wasn't long ago
that you agreed with me
You wanted to have fun
to live life was to play
what could've happened to make those feelings go away?
Hop on my big wheel cruise around th block get in the last few minutes of play
before it's 8 o'clock. I hear momma callin from across the street it's either
past my bedtime or else it's time to eat. So sorry momma but your just goin to
have to wait, we gotta finish our baseball game it's inning twenty eight Chop
off my sisters barbie doll heads wait till she goes to sleep and then hide
them in her bed Hide and go seek cops and robbers. We'll play smear the queer
till someone gets clobbered
We were ninjas killin snowmen with swords made outta brooms GI Joe's and
Transformers strewn across my room. We's play Atari for an hour or two. Hell
we'll play till our faces turn blue. Making forts in hte woods in the backyard
finding something dumb to do was never that hard
First kisses, hits and misses, things to cherish, things gone rotten.
Things lost deep in your mind, things never to be forgotten
``**~~
Don't know what I'm doin
Don't know where I'm goin
Don't have a clue
and now it's finally showin'
Won't somebody give me a hint or 2
tell me what the fuck I'm supposed to do
Don't have a compass
Don't have a map
Got a diploma
still lyin on my back
the right track
hell, I don't know where it is
It's like i didn't study
for some big pop quiz
No Direction
So many decisions
I can't decide
so many people
in whom do you confide?
there are no signs
to tell you what to do
the path you're gonna take
well that's just up to you
the road less traveled
leads to certain death
you might succeed
but i wouldn't hold my breath
so conform to the system
work your life away
wonder what might have been
until your dying day
