it was in the summer, that weren't so unusual, that's always the time of year my heart gets sick, lazy from disuse, or broken from abuse and sometimes the boredom's the worst kind of sick
*heartsick in wyoming heart sick in wyoming heartsick in wyoming i need a quick fix, heartsick in wyoming i wanna go home and wash myself clean of these dusty old tricks.
and i learned all the differences between the deer and the antelope and i learned all the differences between the ram and the mountain goat i was testing my theories didn't know i was gonna choke and here's one more line just to balance this song i wrote

magnolia, burdock and pansies, buttercups tulips and bay, petals piled high as a snowdrift i had a good time with you yesterday
lavender, violets and rosebuds fruit from the dumpster and wine, singing and laughing on two wheels, i like the light in your eyes
daisies and cumquats and coffee, sugar and mountains and wind, something inside of you warms me, and i'm really glad that we're friends,
jeff miller, lady killer, i'm really glad that we're friends

I have cheated at board games, I have cheated at math, I have cheated on my lovers, and then lied to save my ass, I have tried to kill my sister I have tried to kill myself I'll pay my debts with dirty money, and I'll squander all your wealth, I'm from the wrong side of the prairie, the wrong side of the tracks, I care more about my feelings than i do about the facts, I'm selfish and judgmental, I am moody and confused, short tempered and egotistical, I'm wild and jealous too, and you might be crying in the morning, cuz i stole your poor heart too, but I'm headed for that crowd of boys who wanna, get wounded just like you.
I have broken every lease and i have broken all the dishes, I might burn down your house if I get bored of burning bridges, I will ruin the neighborhood, I will ruin your reputation, create all kinds of drama, I'll bring you pain and complications, your life will be in shambles your business will be wrecked, your clothes will all be filthy, and your bed will be a mess. I'll empty all your pockets and I'll smash your piggy bank, when you find your balls are broken, well it's me that you can thank...and you might be crying in the morning, cuz i stole your kidney too, but I'm headed for that crowd of boys who wanna get wounded just like you.

will we ever be rid of this? this emphasis? will we ever come out the other side, better from the lessons and free from the pride and be rid of this? this kissing mess? will we ever be brave enough to never hide? can we love without possessing let our roots intertwine and be rid of this? and the consequence, a blame and a shame that doesn't die we're all just storms and messes can we enjoy the ride and be rid of this? this emphasis, loves not about possessing we wont be owned, it's all about what we embrace when we let go and get rid of this ingrained obnoxiousness, let's follow our hearts and not tell lies, try to be respectful and avoid taking sides and get rid of this stop talking shit decide to trust each other and let fear die, it's the first step to resisting all the other lies so get rid of this, it's not worth a split no matter what happens i'm on your side and though it is insulting i'm not gonna die so get rid of this, all your stupid shit, and i'll suck it up and swallow my pride it's teh first step to resisting all the other lies so get rid of this, this emphasis, this kissing mess,the consequence, stop talking shit.

Could This Be A Duet?

nora sings:
monogamy is a trap for the slaves, it's used as a tool of the state, a system built to keep us in our place, and jealousy is deeply ingrained.
it's not okay if you just wanna be friends, we're supposed to wind up married in the end, and if you go astray there'll be hell to pay, cuz possession is taught from an early age.
i could deny all my desires and you can use me as an excuse too for everything you'll never do or say, oh we can turn this love into a cage
though we call it love it's out of date, for a union to be blessed by church and state, and but insecurity dictates just one mate, and i'll be calling for your love when you go stray.

blades and blood and poison,
fire, fury, pain,
dismemberment, destruction,
i'm having a bad day
smiling while you're screaming,
laughing while you drown
just when things start looking up,
i start looking down
breaking all your teeth out
smashing up your face
murder and mutilation
i'm having a bad day
puking in your pockets
arsenic in your tea
it's a good idea
just to stay away from me
singing while you're dying
that everyone must pay
wishing for a chainsaw
i'm having a bad day
no kindness and no mercy
no conscience or remorse
just flames and chains and bondage
pure rage and deadly force
there is no calm or comfort,
there's nothing you can say
total annihilation
i'm having a bad day

every bad thing that you've heard about me, it's true, it's true, it's true
i've hurt everyone who ever touched me and surely i'll hurt you
it's not because i want to, it just can't be helped
and if you don't heed my words then you can only blame yourself
i am nothing but trouble, i am all bad news
the last thing that you want, well that's the first thing that i'll do
my heart will only bring you sorrow, my love will only make you blue
i am nothing but trouble and i am all bad news
you've got something more than nothing and a sparkle in your eye
i believe you when you tell me
you ain't like those other guys
but i've taken down some good ones,
though none fell quite the same
and you might moan it softly now, but one day
you'll curse my name
i am nothing but trouble, i am all bad news
the last thing that you want, well that's the first thing that i'll do
my heart will only bring you sorrow, my love will only make you blue
i am nothing but trouble and i am all bad news
every bad thing that they say about me,
it's true, it's true times two
i'm a sickness, i'm a shadow, a dark cloud that storms on you
i'm a bitch and i'm a baby, i'm a hard habit to break
i'm the one your mama warned about, that risk you shouldn't take
i am nothing but trouble, i am all bad news
the last thing that you want, well that's the first thing that i'll do
my heart will only bring you sorrow, my love will only make you blue
i am nothing but trouble and i am all bad news

Goodbye Bad Friends

Goodbye Bad Friends
Almost everyday was a bad day
when i was your girlfriend
i know i said i loved you
but i didn't know what love was then
I don't know why i couldn't see that
i never should've brought you home
and while you live, i curse your name
when you die, I'll hate your bones
cuz you're a bad friend, you're a bad friend
you've got something wrong inside
you're a bad friend, you're a bad friend
it feels good to say goodbye, goodbye
you, you and your sister
you're both scum and now i know it
i couldn't tell at first
because you worked hard not to show it
but it's shameful that i went so far
i wasted so much time
you two are both mosquitoes,
but i'm a butterfly
You're a bad friend, she's a bad friend
two worthless parasites
you're a bad friend, she's a bad friend
it feels good to say goodbye, goodbye
it's so great to rid my life of you
to wipe all traces from the slate
I'll never talk to you again
i never see your stupid face
i was foolish to have trusted you
i don't know why it took so long
but i use this tune to make a fist
and i punch you with this song.
cuz you're a bad friend, she's a bad friend
go, beat it and get lost
you're a bad friend, she's a bad friend
it feels good to say fuck off
fuck off

Fuck The Police
01:25

they'll lock us up if we lock down if you don't give them your name they'll take you downtown, they'll rough you up make your cuffs too tight, they might shoot you to death if you're not white, they're enforcing the laws however they please, they know where we live we're not safe on the streets, they watch what we do and record what we say and when they don't like it they lock us away
and *there are so many ways the cops can screw
you.
they'll ticket you taze you detain you and mace you, refuse you your rights and place you under arrest, entrap you with spies and plant false evidence, they'll spy on you and they'll spy on your friends, tap your phone and read the mail that you send
*
if you demand respect they'll say that you resist and if you love the land then you're a terrorist, oh they're not gonna rest until we're all in a cage, serving themselves and protecting their wage
*
snitches and liars continue to thrive, the cops pay them to ruin our lives we can't submit, cooperate or comply, so let's keep resisting and stay organized, so don't answer their questions, don't answer the door, know your rights and change the score
*
they basically exist to screw you

I Know You

i guess that i know now why you're avoiding me, afraid i'll spill the beans on your stolen personality
how sad for you that you are such a no one, too lazy to acquire so you just pretend one
and you can sing just like him, you can even play his songs, you can retell all his stories like you were there all along but i know you, you're a liar, you're a faker and a taker and a thief
i liked it when it seemed like you were growing, absorbing and enjoying what the universe was showing but nothing came from you without complications and you can build your cheap facade with almost no foundation
and you can go on pretending and some people will believe, but the truth is on the table when it comes to you and me
oh i know you you're a liar, you're a faker and a taker and a thief
anyone can see why you'd wanna change yourself, but there's a difference between growing and becoming someone else
dishonesty and illusion are what come from you, and the next time that we meet i bet that you'll be someone new but i know you you're a liar, you're a faker and a taker and a thief
you're an asshole and a douche bag and you stink

of all the boys who have denied the challenge, you're the only one that i still wanna ravage, it was easy to let go of all the rest but when i think of you, i just wanna get undressed because i like your eyes and i like your impish grin to and you're just the kind of trouble i wanna get into,
* i've got a crush on you do you like me too? cuz i think you are the best, and we shouldn't do what i wanna do but i've always loved a mess and you're a mess.
of all the girls who didn't wanna kiss me you're the only one i still imagine being with me it was easy to let go of all the rest but when i think of you i just wanna get undressed because i like the way you explained things with your hands and i'd really like you to stick them down my pants
*
i've never been too good at being a girlfriend cuz my wanderlust inspires opposition, but sometimes i think if you tried i'd let you hold me, maybe i'd be brave enough to let you know me
*
cuz i've got a crush on you do you like me too? cuz i think you are the best and i dream of you, wanna see you soon cuz i've always loved a mess and you're a mess...
