Hello (Stü Art)..........0:44
Rage Against Weekday (J.Nickras)..........1:26
Do you remember this one?
Monday night, then it's Tuesday
Monday night, then it is Tuesday
What night is it, then it's Tuesday
It's Monday night, then it's Tuesday
But you always said it's the greatest (3x)
Why did you say it was the greatest
Who needs a three day weekend
But you always said it was the greatest (2x)
You can't remember and names, faces, or places
Any names, faces, or places
But you always wished it was the greatest
My (M.Nickras, J.Nickras)..........1:24
My chimney is the best
Four smokes rise high
My gerbil ate the rest
Where my chimney is the best
I saw through a window
The tops of them trees
I saw through a chimney
A hive full of peas
My chimney is the best
Four smokes high rise
My gerbil ate the best
Where my chimney is the rest
I broke my door
And squatted on the floor
I broke a chimney
While my gerbil he did snore
Friggin' gerbil
That's my chimney
Not yours
Bloody Circle (J.Nickras)..........2:21
(chorus)
Laugh, laugh, laugh
A bloody circle on the tree
See it laughing, laughing red
Red, cause it's so funny
The activists are crying
The gunner loads his gun
For me I am laughing
The little monkeys have a huge grin
Cause it is funny
Save the little monkeys
The Japanese Snow Monkeys
Save the little monkeys
From those Texans
They're running wild
Can't stop them
Before they bite someone
(chorus)
No social commentary
Just some giggles
You'll Be the Giver (M.Nickras)..........2:00
Winding down the rim
I'll trounce you until you're blind
Splitting with my edge
We'll drive you through your bed
Smother madness, kills my sadness
Bash your other
Blast my senses with complete disgust
Complete disgust kills my other...
Die...
My brother
Hide, you'll be the giver
Once or never
Simplifying my existence
I have nothing to say
Capitulate among
Chop away that frown
Grind my teeth
They slashed her wrists
Dug her nails away
Replacing them with pain...
Rain
Wash away spectator pain
Kill for pleasure
Splitting with my edge
I'll trounce you until you're blind
Smother madness
Kills her sadness
We're pushing away her bed
Empty Headed (J.Nickras)..........1:47
So busy hiding far away
Talking on your telephone
Everyone cursing the hideous sun
We're gonna celebrate the death of us all
(chorus)
You can find your own way out
Yea, you can find your own way out
The door's big enough for a couple of your friends
You can find your own way out
Sitting under an elm tree
The leaves turn gray
And the furnace goes on
We're gonna celebrate the death of us all
(chorus)
I get it in my scope
I shoot twice in the head
Hunting those silly unendangered animals
They Called Her Hotpants
(J.Nickras)..........0:52
I saw a movie
There was this girl
They called her hotpants hotpants
Called her hotpants
The movie ended
The lights went out
The credits began
The lights went on
I waited
They kicked me out
They called her hotpants hotpants
Called her hotpants
Hotpants (3x)
Fee Knock (M.Nickras)..........1:07
Fee Knock
Going to run from something
Fee Knock
Slide me through the mail slot
Fee Knock
Chalk line, chalk line
Madman give madame
Dill Fickle
M'Other slap soft ended
Chimpanzee, chimpanzee
Need me, Chin Prog
Wa Leee, Ee Leee
Chin froq, Sur ray
Sur ray
Liquidators (J.Nickras)..........1:12
We sell the inventory
And the history
We sell all the food
And sometimes we sell you
We sell and we sell and sell
Because, yeah, we're going out of business
Because, yeah, we're going out of business
We sell the walls
And the floor and all
We sell a big happy grin
And very last bottle thee end
We sell the home plate
Because, yeah, we're going out of business
Because, yeah, we're going out of business
But And (M.Nickras)..........2:26
I'll take the monkey wrench
Sensation will be dull
I will dull it
Aggravation will be lulled
I will lull it
Thrashery my mastery
I'll slash her, see
We'll smash my knees
The crowd is cheering
Around the end of lifelong fearing
The alternative is sneering
We're unsure and willing
The warriors die
Amidst the chill and killing
Do you know when the yellow grass will speak
I'll take the monkey wrench
And
You will file away the end
The wash of friends
They will search and search,
For something more routine
White Birch
But
They will search
And
Find the Earth
Split (M.Nickras)..........1:25
Where would I be
When I've got nothing better to do
Sit and deafen the thoughts that form within
Where would you be
Why, you've never met me
Life goes on, in the midst of a world
World that won't I defend
Where would we be
How would I be, to you
The other half of me
I ran away so long ago
Friends I am, I am
I am
After all, we're in the end
Pete Schomp (M.Nickras)..........1:56
Pete Schomp
Don't trample that small boy
Don't wander under
Monkey, monkey
I will try
If I forget
Then I will die
Empty Tapedecks Play No Music
(J.Nickras)..........1:21
(chorus)
Don't worry 'bout your dreams
We'll stomp those horses with our heels
Don't worry 'bout your dreams
We'll stomp those horses with our heels
We'll stomp those horses with our heels
There's a demon in my life
It's the cat that takes the Malox
And puts it in a carton
And sells it at the grocery
After years of ignoring
I see what I've always seen
And I understand its action
But I don't know why
(chorus)
Thanks to...
our friends and/or families, Wilma, Rick, Paul, Hüsker
Dü, the local music scene, Ray, Brainiac, GBV, Mark E.,
Brix, Andy, Oo Oo Wa, Oxymorons, and other inspirations----you
know who you are!!!!
Oh yeah, we're insulted by accusations concerning the "living,
breathing nature" of our drummer and good friend, Beau Casio.
