"We're Not Gonna Take It"

Oh we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore

We've got the right to choose and
There ain't no way we'll lose it
This is our life, this is our song
We'll fight the powers that be just
Don't pick our destiny 'cause
You don't know us, you don't belong

Oh we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore

Oh you're so condescending
Your gall is never ending
We don't want nothin', not a thing from you
Your life is trite and jaded
Boring and confiscated
If that's your best, your best won't do

Oh.....................
Oh.....................
We're right/yeah
We're free/yeah
We'll fight/yeah
You'll see/yeah

Oh we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore

Oh we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh we're not gonna take it anymore
No way!

Oh.....................
Oh.....................
We're right/yeah
We're free/yeah
We'll fight/yeah
You'll see/yeah

We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore

We're not gonna take it, no!
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore

Just you try and make us
We're not gonna take it
Come on
No, we ain't gonna take it
You're all worthless and weak
We're not gonna take it anymore
Now drop and give me twenty
We're not gonna take it
Oh crinch pin
No, we ain't gonna take it
Oh you and your uniform
We're not gonna take it anymore

"Eine Tasse Tee"

all right this is my poem it's called eine tasse tee
are you ready? all right!
one of my dogs ate the feces of a homeless man on the way to the vet
of course it was anna 'cuz nikolas doesn't eat anything with sauce
i had to try to pull the offending matter out of her mouth with my bare hands
we stunk!
i wonder what the nutrition counter would list this meal as...
it made me think
my anti-malaria medication drove me to question my sanity
i hallucinated
i saw the bright red grip tape on my old skateboard
as a moving mass of demarara(?) sugar
my judgment seems impaired
things irritate me
people are mean
they drive too fast
they talk too fast
people carry anger around like one of those fashionable backpacks
but they're all actors
in public they behave certain... ways
you know at dinner with their friends out at popular bars and grilles
they chat and laugh
they call girls who look like me "elvira"
they call girls who look like me "morticia"
whatever
nice and happy life
nice weekend warrior weekend rollerblader suv decaf see a movie life
nice implants
good luck with your health
nice dairy
good luck with your health
nice bulimia
good luck with your health
nice anti-depressant action
good luck with your health
nice speeding
good luck with your health
everyone thinks they've got problems
wanna know a problem?
over one billion people in the world have no access,
that's no access, to safe drinking water.
and you're upset 'cuz you can't get those new dc's.
wanna know a problem?
the mobile phone.
we're all gonna die of brain cancer
wanna know a problem?
jeering hooting men with rohypnol in their back pocket
you already know at least five females who have been raped,
and you don't even know it
wanna know a problem?
the threat of nuclear war in india and pakistan
it could all be over, overnight
wanna know a problem?
the homeless
which brings me back to the shit breath of my bichon-frise
the shit shouldn't be there in the first place
because whoever had to go had NO place to go
that's fucked!
we are a complacent apathetic society
we are jackasses
we are all squirrels hoarding for ourselves
we need to say something and not care if it's been said before
we need to be responsible for our actions
we need to be more helpful
we need to be more thoughtful
i need to practice compassion who are the fuckwads
of the purveyors of violence
i need to relax
i need to exhale
i need to meditate
my mind is racing
my mind is a chattering monkey
nikolas's mind is on fire with paranoia
annastasia has shit for brains
after all, you are what you eat
i could use a cup of chai
nikolas thinks he's gandhi
he's on a hunger strike
and annastasia would like another hot steaming bowl of scheisse

"Choking On The Truth"

Sucking on a sucker
running down the alley
away from worthlessness.
It's dusk.
The lovely, pink sky eggs me on.
Thinking of you,
I roll this candy on my tongue.
I throw a rock in the air,
but it doesn't go anywhere.
(like my spinning wheels)
Reminiscent of this sugar lump,
it seems to be lodged in the centre of my throat.

Choking on the truth.
I thought it was my candy,
but I'm choking on the truth.

Discreetly I try to cough it out,
try to scream and shout.
Everchanging flights of ideas,
my life is surely
flashing right before my eyes.
You have a way. You startle me.
I laugh. I face reality.
This is a pill of strong will
and, as you intended,
so hard to swallow.

Choking on the truth.
I thought it was my candy,
but I'm choking on the truth.

I am honesty, and this is hard.
You were everything I ever want.
Your memory is sweet candy,
the flavors fading away...

Sucking on a sucker
running down the alley.
Running over all the things I could have done differently.
You were mean to me.
I didn't mean to be so real
and pure
and simple
and honest
and you make me sad.
You make me mad.
You're making me choke!

Choking on the truth.
I thought it was my candy,
but I'm choking on the truth.

Choking on the truth.
I thought it was my candy,
but I'm choking on the truth.

"Tango Shoes"

When we're together,
I am alone.
Dawdle down the street, shuffle my feet,
don't wanna go home.
There's an antique store.
I go inside.
All I got on me,
is only twenty bucks and my pride.
(That's when I see them!)

My new tango shoes,
They are my treasure! They are so cool!
My new tango shoes,
They are my ticket! My tools!
My new tango shoes,
are gonna help me dance away from you!
My new tango shoes!

Like Cinderella, I am transformed.
Suddenly I'm taller
you're smaller
I am reborn!
With new courage,
I go downtown.
To see you sitting at a table,
girls all around.
(and they see my...)

My new tango shoes,
They are my treasure! They are so cool!
My new tango shoes,
They are my ticket! My tools!
My new tango shoes,
are gonna help me dance away from you!
My new tango shoes!

...see my sexy metamorphosis
right before your angry eyes...
I stick a red rose in between my lips,
turn on my heel,
dance out of your life!

You told me you love me.
That was untrue.
Now that we're over,
this dance is for you.

My new tango shoes,
They are my treasure! They are so cool!
My new tango shoes,
They are my ticket! My tools!
My new tango shoes,
are gonna help me dance away from you!
My new tango shoes!

"Dawn"

For you I'm a good for nothing woman:
Red lips, red leaves.
Fall on my knees like autumn.
I miss cigarettes every single day of my life.
When you make love to me,
I close my eyes and pray you'll say "goodbye".

Damn! She's dawning on me!
Finally dawning on me.
She's dawning on me, she's beautiful!
It's not that you don't know what love means,
it's just that you do not love me...

Cold wind whispering in my lonely ear,
telling me that heartbreak is drawing near.
You so hungry, baby, you'll eat anything on your plate.
Guess you don't go home no more,
cause you got a secret date.
You gotta hit me on the head a few times.
So blind with wishes, I can't see past your smiliness.
I miss Nick-o-liss every single day of my life.
Gimme back all my DOA records, or I'll show you right!

Damn! She's dawning on me!
Finally dawning on me.
She's dawning on me, she's beautiful!
It's not that you don't know what love means,
it's just that you love her and not me...

"I Love Myself Today"

You left me like a broken doll
In pieces as I took the fall
for you, you dumb chump!
You left me free-falling like space junk
Burning up in the atmosphere of life

Well I sound like a philosopher
but I'm a fool who's off her rocker
'Cause I let you in my heart that one last time

I've had enough, made up my mind
I'm gonna get up and out and wahhh!

I love myself today
Not like yesterday
I'm cool, I'm calm
I'm gonna be okay! Uh huh
I love myself today
Not like yesterday
Take another look at me now
'Cause it's your last look
Your last look forever

Well look at you you're all puffed up
In that big red truck- but you're outta luck (this time)
Well, that's tough
'Cause I'm on fire- too hot to touch
with a chatroom full of lovers on the line
Gonna step right up. Spit shine my soul
I'm gonna be proud and loud and outta control!

I love myself today
Not like yesterday
I'm cool, I'm calm
I'm gonna be okay! Uh huh
I love myself today
Not like yesterday
Take another look at me now
'Cause it's your last look
Your last look forever

I'm lookin' in the mirror and I like what I see:
I've lost the fear & the horror that's been eating at me
'Cause being with you is like a hangman's noose
I was living my life in dead man's shoes

I've had enough. Made up my mind
I'm gonna get up and out and wahhh!

I love myself today
Not like yesterday
I'm cool, I'm calm
I'm gonna be okay! Uh huh
I love myself today
Not like yesterday
Take another look at me now

I love myself today
Not like yesterday
You're dead and gone
I'm gonna get my way
I love myself today
Not like yesterday
Take another look at me now
'Cause it's your last look
Your last look forever!!

I love myself today [x7]

"Stolen Sidewalk"

I'm a junkie.
I'm a whore.
That's what you always called me.
I am raw,
an open sore.
I ache to remind me...

I'm a weakling,
you are strong.
Pick me up from where I lay.
Here on a stolen sidewalk.
Baby, don't make me beg...

I'm religious once again.
We all are before we die...
and I am so sick to death.
Wasted tears I cry.
And who said love would always mend,
and fill the emptiness again.
Should light a single candle...
make a prayer in my name.

I'm a weakling,
you are strong.
Pick me up from where I lay.
Here on a stolen sidewalk.
Baby, don't make me beg.
I am not right,
you're not wrong.
I can't last another day.
Here on a stolen sidewalk.
Baby, don't make me beg...

The closest thing I found to heaven,
is sitting here, talking to you...
I'm the queen of western paradise,
don't you know,
nothing left for me to do.

I'm a weakling,
you are strong.
Pick me up from where I lay.
Here on a stolen sidewalk.
Baby, don't make me beg.
I am not right,
you're not wrong.
I can't last another day.
Here on a stolen sidewalk.
Baby, don't make me beg...

"October Songs"

If I fall outa my nest,
will ya pick me up? Will ya help me fly?
If I fall outa my nest,
will ya show me love?
If I'm in over my head,
will ya pick me up? Will ya help me out?
If I'm in over my head,
will ya show me love?

It's cold, baby.
It's cold, baby.
I need your love to get me through this time.

Lonely October song.
I am a bleeding heart.
Lonely October song.
Help me! I'm falling apart.
I can't seem to find anyone
who hasn't fallen.
Fallen down.
I can't seem to find anyone unlike a crispy leaf on the ground.
(there are leaves all around)

If I'm blind and lose my way,
Will ya walk with me? Will ya help me see?
If I'm blind and lose my way,
Will ya show me love?
If I'm incarcerated,
Will ya bust me out? Will ya set me free?
If I'm incarcerated,
Will ya show me love?

It's cold, baby.
It's cold, baby.
I need your love to get me through this time.

Lonely October song.
I am a bleeding heart.
Lonely October song.
Help me! I'm falling apart.
I can't seem to find anyone
who hasn't fallen.
Fallen down.
I can't seem to find anyone unlike a crispy leaf on the ground.
(there are leaves all around)

"Leader"

Get offa me!
Away from me!
Get me outa here!
Don't follow me!
Don't bother me!
I'm no leader.

What's wrong with you?
I wash the dishes.
Walk to the post office.
I get some juice in my mouth.
I spit it out.
I spit it out.
I spit it out.
I spit it all over my clean shirt.
(it says "vail)

I'm not yours or anyone's.
I don't even own myself.
Why do you always watch me?
I just wanna be myself.

Get offa me!
Away from me!
Get me outa here!
Don't follow me!
Don't bother me!
I'm no leader.

You don't know me,
so don't touch me.
I'm not here to validate your behavior.
You need to stop.
You need to stop.
You need to stop talking so fast.
(I'm not interested in anything you have to say)

I wish you would crawl back up to the bar.
Tell it to your drink.
Tell it to your drink.
Tell her who you are.
Don't tell me.
Don't talk to me.
I want you to shut your mouth.

Get offa me!
Away from me!
Get me outa here!
Don't follow me!
Don't bother me!
I'm no leader.

I can not be your leader.
I can not be your leader.
Stop lookin at me.
Stop lookin at me.
Stop lookin at me.
Stop lookin at me.

I brush my teeth,
stop looking at me.
I park my car,
stop looking at me.
Get on the train,
stop looking at me.
I turn around,
you stop looking at me!
