Pleasures of the Flesh

[Intro:] “Life’s kinda getting out of control, I think. I don’t know if you agree with me..would you hand me that ashtray? What it is… I know you’ve heard the word a thousand times, It’s a rat race. I went through the contortions of hell, I have alcoholic seizures. Wind up in the hospital and everthing else. Now I’m sick and I’m shaking like a leaf. It was like silly puddy and they threw him in the car, the paddy wagon and beat him to death. I hit one of those and I knocked the front wheel off into outer space and I kinda got angry myself and I said, Have alot of guns. I like salad, I just had a nice salad. Baked potato, some cream cheese and chives.” - Tom Skid Voices inside my head are making me go mad Now I'm afraid to sleep from nightmares that I've had I feel I'm on the edge, I need some kind of cure Now I've gone and killed someone, I'm mentally disturbed! [chorus] They can't keep me locked away My psychiatrist says I'm ok They think that they've got me trained But I know I'm really deranged! Arrested for murder, my case comes to trial Prosecution's accusing me of things sick and vile I admit I'm guilty, but plead insanity Six months in Bellevue, then I'm walking free! [chorus] [solo - Gary] [solo - Rick] They want to calm me down so they feed me thorazine It doesn't make me calmer, it only makes me mean Now they let me loose, back in society With some psychiatric help and a lobotomy But I've got them fooled, I'm playing at their game I'm more psycho than before, I don't even know my name I know they should have killed me when they had the chance But the system let me off with a little song and dance!

There's some that say that we won't last Say that we could never beat the odds But we just look at them and laugh As the pressure surges through our heads so strong The heavy side of life we live Keeps us going day by day Our enemies we won't forgive Condemn them to a life of pain [chorus] Can't you guess what this has done to us? It gave us power! It's a way of life! There's no separation Total annihilation Crushing through creation 'Til death do us part! Gathered crushing force of one Eluding all the basic obstacles But we're all in this game for fun So say fuck off to your politics! We write the songs the way we want And spell it out the way it is Our music is not a front It's all about the way we live! [chorus] [solo - Gary] [ending lead riff - Rick]

A distant hum Cuts right through the skies Calling my attention I look up I can't believe my eyes! Thousands and thousands Hungry for our minds They're biting, eating and controlling Anything they find [sub-chorus] Coming down from behind They've got no care for our kind See the world bending down On its knees [Chorus] Run - but you can't hide Blood - coming from inside My mind - doesn't know wrong from right Parasite! A million more Coming after me They thrive on insecticide They live on DDT No poison can defeat The never ending swarm They'll eat you from inside out You'll wish you were never born [sub-chorus] [chorus] [harmony lead - Gary] [solo - Gary] [solo - Rick] Now they're living in my brain I'm destroying at their cue A violent reaction starts within And now I'm after you! I'll grab you by your head and split your skull open wide The infestation is complete You're dead but yet alive! [sub-chorus] [chorus]

Your body lies without a twitch-can't move Feeling gone, nothing to say or do Still alive but you can't think or see You're looking like a vegetable to me The darkness lives forever Within your mind Time rolls by and you never paid the cost Without your mind your body-it's lost Should we help to keep you alive? Now's the time to help you die The darkness lives forever Within your mind No dreams, no thoughts it's only Endless time

Rode up on my steed, dirty and mean My eyes filled with intent to kill Came in with the dust, a look of disgust The sting of the whip's burning still A crowd of young punks, all getting drunk Think they are fast as can be But what they don't know, my guns will show I'm faster than they'll ever be [sub-chorus 1] Sweat pouring out of my face So many years that I've had to wait Now when you're ready to draw Sound of my gun, you're gone! [chorus] Drifting around From high plains to town The trail of death leads to me The speed of the hand Is faster than you'll ever Live to be With fire in my eye, I'll make hot lead fly No one's a match for me I'll blow off your head and make sure you're dead Then pillage on your family The scars on my back bring memories back Of hell in a younger year I'll hunt out the best and lay them to rest I am the west's worst fear! [sub-chorus 2] You run but you're moving too slow You're all out of breath and there's nowhere to go Now when it's your time to die No one will hear your cry! [chorus]

Smell of death lurks around the place Human need, unholy race See the bloody pile of bones The night is filled with hellish moans It's been around for oh so long At dawn of time they sang their song The need to eat the human flesh The strength it gives to pass the test Feel the power Of your unholy death Feeding-frenzy Human-flesh To live There is no law, it's time to fight A brutal hunt every night Life grows through hounds of flesh A stronger soul from another death Hidden back, yet deep within Jungle's there, it's always been Hunt at night to stalk their prey Kill and eat it before it's day Feel the power Of your unholy death Feeding-frenzy Human-flesh To live Dead bodies lie where they fed Half eaten carcass stained red Hunting parties come to call Leaving nothing, they take it all There's no need to change their ways Blood and money, it always pays Don't disturb their solitude Or the next victim will be you!

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

Hatred is spreading like the plague The fuse is cut the line's been frayed The third world's a time bomb ready to blow Soon the earth will explode! [chorus] How can we help you If you don't know The ending of your fate? Would you help us Raise the terror Against the seeds of hate Martyrs dying for their cause Giving their lives to take ours Believing that what they do is right But now we'll help them see the light [chorus] Innocent victims cry out in pain Nations are under attack Tension and anger are building within Now is the time to fight back Helpless civilians they hope for solutions To problems that have to be solved Now's time for action, no time for retraction Now you will stand Or you will fall! [first, third and fifth leads - Gary] [second, fourth and sixth leads - Rick]

[first and third fills - Rick] [second and fourth fills - Gary] Politicians, they're all on the take Toxic polluters, leave cancer in their wake Campaign contributions are nothing more than bribes Pockets growing fatter at the expense of all our lives [sub-chorus] Now we'll grab them by their white collar And throw them in the waste Look at them floating in the cess They're such a fucking disgrace! [chorus] They just want To make another buck They couldn't care what happens They wouldn't give a fuck Their big house way up on a hill Was paid for in death It's chemi-kill! They don't know what to do with it They don't want to keep it around So they pull up behind my back door And bury it underground We scream and yell but they just laugh On the way to make a withdrawal But we've got to ram it down their throats Make them eat it all [sub-chorus] [chorus] Babies are lying in their womb Dying in their private tomb Born retarded, crippled and lame But they say they're not to blame Tumors are growing in my spleen The children are turning green We're dropping one by one Is this the end of all our fun? How can they get Away with this? We take them to court But it gets dismissed They've bought off the judge So he throws out the case There goes the human race! [solo - Rick] [solo - Gary]

So you think you're good and ready? If you do your bubble is gonna burst We're getting whipped into a frenzy And you're the one we'll punish first We've got our muscles pumped and primed To release our devastating force Non-stop unrelenting aggression To us is par for the course! [chorus] I hate to love And love to hate There's no need to negotiate So choose your weapon And choose your fate It doesn't matter 'cause by then It's too late! We'll deliver an assault to your senses And drive you into the ground You can rely on us for action Never stop or slow down Always running into danger Taking the lion by the throat Obeying no law but our own Violence is what we promote! [chorus] [solo - Gary] [solo - Rick]
