This world of hate and shallowness Where enemies become your consolation Those of us who win the game give up their minds I don't call that winning Say this doesn't apply to you, but ask yourself first "What have I done today to win the game, and just what have I sacrificed?" Win the battle, lose the war I know I've played this game before When people were still real I don't want this anymore It's time for me to close the door There's nothing left to feel Reflect on all our yesterdays My own words choke me, why were they spoken? Regret for things I've said and done just can't compare with Regret for those that I have never tried So blame this world or blame yourself It's really all the same When you are standing on that precipice From which you just cannot return Win the battle, lose the war I know I've played this game before When people were still real I don't want this anymore It's time for me to close the door There's nothing left to feel In the style of forgotten men, I look to my horizon I see nothing While thoughts of guns and desecration sweep through my mind But only coffins and bones remain As I look to you, the emptiness behind your eyes seals my decision Can't carry on in this world of jugglers Where all this thoughtlessness and bludgeonings Your key to success, what kind of tradition to carry on Blackball! The new disease Blackball! The new disease Blackball! Your evil ways have found their way inside, inside me Blackball! The new disease Blackball! The new disease Blackball! For a better life in this high-tech dog-eat-dog existence Win the battle, lose the war I know I've played this game before When people were still real I don't want this anymore It's time for me to close the door There's nothing left to feel

Mommy doesn't have a head any more Keep it underneath my bed on the floor Well that's alright, that's OK She never really used her head anyway Daddy called me a silly bore Bet he won't say that anymore Because the way his body is severed too His vocal cords are gonna be hard to use Beheaded, watch you spurt like a garden hose Beheaded, bloody mess all over my clothes Watch my girl friend come to the door Chop off her head, she falls to the floor Now watching my baby's jugular blow Really makes my motor go Wrap a towel round the bloody stump Take my baby's body to the city dump Then wipe the mess off the bloody axe Scoop all the heads into my burlap sack Beheaded, watch her spurt like a garden hose Beheaded, bloody mess all over my clothes All my collection, adorns my room on bamboo poles Use to be a little, but a little got more and more Now I'm craving yours Night brings bad dreams, bad dreams and guillotines Off with her head Off with her head Off with her head Off with her head Off with her head Off with her head Find another victim for my machine Put him in a home-made guillotine Blade falls, gonna need a casket Watch your head plop in a wicker basket Leave the house at a quarter to four Come back with sixteen or more Cause the more I walk, the more I see I got a funny feeling coming over me Beheaded, watch you spurt like a garden hose Beheaded, bloody mess all over my clothes

Head over heals I've fit in before Now I don't wanna do it no more I've held it all in with blood on my face Built it up man so bad you can taste I don't slag no one, I don't even judge Don't give a shit 'cause I'm not gonna budge I just want to be who I want to be Guess it's hard for others to see I'm not a trendy asshole Do what I want Do what I feel like I'm not a trendy asshole Don't give a fuck If it's good enough for you 'Cause I am alive Smash is the way you feel all alone Like an outcast you're out on your own Smash is the way you deal with your life Like an outcast you're smashing your strife Head over heels I've fit in before Now I don't want to do it no more Just want to be who I want to be Guess it's hard for others to see I'm not a trendy asshole Do what I want Do what I feel like I'm not a trendy asshole Don't give a fuck If it's good enough for you 'Cause I am alive Head over heels I've fit in before Now I don't want to do it no more Just want to be who I want to be Guess it's hard for others to see I'm not a trendy asshole Do what I want Do what I feel like I'm not a trendy asshole Don't give a fuck If it's good enough for you I'm not a trendy asshole Do what I want I do what I feel like I'm not a trendy asshole Don't give a fuck If it's good enough for you 'Cause I am alive I am alive, I am alive

Sometimes I think I'm gonna drown 'Cause everyone around's so hollow And I'm alone Sometimes I think I'm going down But no one makes a sound, they follow And I'm alone Yeah, if I make it I'd be amazed Just to find tomorrow Yeah one more day and I'd be amazed Just to see it waiting Yeah and if I make it I'm still alone No more hope for better days Yeah if I could change Then I'd really be amazed And when you know you can't relate To one more shiny face Your heart breaks No one cares And when you know you can't go on 'Cause everything is wrong Your heart breaks No one's there Yeah if I make it I'd be amazed Just to find tomorrow Yeah one more day and I'd be amazed Just to see it waiting Yeah and if I make it I'm still alone No more hope for better days Yeah if I could change Then I'd really be amazed Yeah if I make it I'd be amazed Just to find tomorrow Yeah one more day and I'd be amazed Just to see it waiting Yeah and if I make it I'm still alone No more hope for better days Yeah if I could change Then I'd really be amazed
