You hide your eyes But the ugly truth Just loves to give it away You gave yourself If you were mine to give I might throw it away You share but money can't give What the truth takes away Throw it away I painted my eyes Ugly isn't what I want to see I painted my mind Ugly isn't what I want to be I don't mind but the truth Don't look that good on me Throw it away I don't think I really Understand you And I can't see why I'd ever want to And even if it isn't mine to say I'll say it anyway It's ugly If you were mine to give I might throw it away But money can't give What the truth takes away Throw it away

Hands all over the Eastern border You know what? I think we're falling From composure Hands all over Western culture Ruffling feathers and turning eagles into vultures Got my arms around baby brother Put your hands away You're gonna kill your mother, kill your mother And I love her Hands all over the coastal waters The crew men thank her Then lay down their oily blanket Hands all over the inland forest In a striking motion trees fall down Like dying soldiers Hands all over the peasant's daughter She's our bride She'll never make it out alive Hands all over the words I utter Change them into what you want to Like balls of clay Put your hands away You're gonna kill your mother And I love her

GUN I got an idea of something we can do with a gun Sink load and fire till the empire Reaps what they've sown Shoot shoot shoot till their minds are open Shoot shoot shoot till their eyes are closed Push push push till we get some motion Push push push till the bombs explode I got an idea We can do it All on our own Nothing to worry Regret must weigh a ton Kick kick kick till the laws are broken Kick kick kick till the boots are worn Hit hit hit till the truth is spoken Hit hit hit till the truth is born I got an idea of something we can do with a gun

I want to be A cowboy star upon the screen Oh hey and I want to drive My cowboy car across the scene Oh hey and I want to write The magazines housewives read And I want to be In control of everything I want to be King I want to make the toys You buy for Christmas Eve Yeah and I want to be The father of the ethnic child Who stars on T.V. Oh yeah and I, I want to write The magazines that housewives read Oh hey and I want all the leaders Of the Third World To answer to me I want to be King I want to be King So maybe now the Pope Will bow and kiss my ring I wanna be king

You don't get nothing for free Kev & me were two of three Three brothers to the end Then one went full on Kevin's mom Now things have changed Full on Kev's mom Full on Kev's mom Full on Kev's mom Full on You don't get nothing for free And this one took the long way This one took the hard road I ain't saying who But it wasn't me We were three Kevin's mom made four (We don't come around anymore)

Woke up depressed I left for work You have a good day It's not your fault I know it hurts Remember, I love you, love you Remember, I love you, love you I love Woke up depressed I left for work You have a good day It's not my fault I know it hurts

Watch for vipers and poison snakes Feeling fingers make no mistake Grabbing that pull your hair Stealing everything there, everything Restless widow in the dark Carelessly looks for a spark Near the trap fate rears its head No hesitation, victim dead Just from the start it's the end And it's all the same in the end It's all the same in the end Spider moving up your wall To the ceiling he slowly crawls Weaves a web above your bed Egg that cracks falls on your head And it's all the same It's all the same No hesitation, victim dead Just from the start it's the end No wrong no right or guilt admission It's all the same You've been bitten, you've been bitten

Small creature are you Small creature you are How quickly you are uncovered Naked and cold Maumbling and crying Knowing everything's been discovered Many secrets have you Many secrets you have But it's only a matter of time Did you finally decide There's nowhere to hide And really no reason why Hey Mr. Shame Have you got a name I don't feel like calling you Buddy I don't want to hear your story I don't want to hear why And I don't even care if you're sorry Many secrets have you Many secrets you have But it's only a matter of time Did you finally decide There's nowhere to hide And really no reason why Strong is your body Strong are your bones Strong as your bloody lie is uncovered Small creature are you Small creature you are How quickly you are uncovered Naked and cold Mumbling and crying Knowing everything's been discovered
