I have no control over myself. I'm the Speaker in a Congress of impulses. I'm the Speaker in a Congress of drives. I'm the Speaker in a Congress of proclivities. I'm the Speaker in a Congress of appetites. I have no control over myself. The floor recognizes Congressmen Alcohol, and Congressman Cocaine, and Congressman Fuck-It-All, and Congressman Selfishness, and Congressman Helplessness, you have the floor. The floor recognizes each and every impulse, each and every single one. And it's impossible to get anything done. I have no control over myself. I'm the Speaker in a Congress of impulses. I'm the Speaker in a Congress of desires. I'm the Speaker in a Congress of urges. I'm the Speaker in a Congress of appetites. I have no control over myself.

Let's steal a car, let's pick a very fast one And let's drive it hard, let us find the edges of the map, my dear And let's get outta here. Let's grab a spoon and tunnel to the center of the earth we knew The one we used to dream of Oh, the world that we always knew could be. Oh, let us go. Come with me. (chorus) And when we stop, we'll look around and we'll say, "Here be dragons." And in that place we'll make a home, and we'll be, oh we'll be married. And when the world comes crashing in, and you are so very saddened. I'll simply point outside and smile, and remind you, "Here be dragons." Let's take some sheets and fashion a balloon that we can fill with heat And rise up to the moon where we will sit pretty, underneath the stars. Let's lash some logs together for a raft and we will sail the seas, negotiating crashing waves, just you and me, together til the end. Oh, this is now. And that was then. (chorus) Let's go by train, the clicking and the clacking, like a soothing rain, washing all our woes away, and every mile, leads to somewhere new. Let's stay right here, underneath the covers, let me love you, dear Let me be your lover, let me hold on tight and never let go. Oh-oh. Oh-oh. Never let go. (chorus) --------------------- Chord Chart :) Capo 5th fret G Em C verse G D C turn G D C Em Am C G chorus

Surrender your body. Surrender your body, baby, Oh, I hope you really wanna. I will love you, til the death of time. I wanna make you tremble, love Set the tips of your body on fire, desire makes up every molecule of me, my love, a burning thirst is what I am made of. I wanna drink you down and eat you up. And when you come with me The places, oh, that we will go. We will venture to the peaks and then We'll head below. We will be volcanos of molten, fiery love. We will be volcanos of molten, fiery love. And I'm gonna love you Til the death of time.

Everybody's working, everybody needs to toil Oh we're working so much harder than we did the year before. And we work so goddamn hard for so very little pay. And we work, and we toil, everyday. Everyone's unhappy, everybody is upset. And the days they get away from us, we haven't made it yet. And we know that there's no end it sight, this is our everyday And we work, and we toil, and pay. Slow it down. Take it slow. Let's turn on the radio again. And let's sit and listen to The song that we love, oh, the songs we sing along to. Work, it makes us cynical, and bitter angry folk. This must be some sort of universal cosmic joke. But we know the bills, they must be paid and so we slave away. Everybody's working, everybody needs to toil Oh we're working so much harder than we did the year before. And we work so goddamn hard for so very little pay. And we work, and we toil, and we slave.

Shootin' whiskey, come on kiss me Let me feel the flesh of your inner thigh I'm too drunk to drive. Come on, lover, pour another Break out your guitar and let's sing some songs 'Til the whiskey's gone. We can never go home. Beer and whiskey make me frisky Fantasizing about 'bout the girls I used to know Where did they go? Been on my own some, feeling lonesome Putting back a twelve pack ever night Damn, I need a light. We can never go home. Climbing in my ride and I have to close one eye to drive. I pray to god I make it back alive. We can never go home. Worn with dating, masturbating Feeling like my time is already up. Yeah, I've had enough. So come on, lover, pour another Break out your guitar and let's sing some songs 'Til the whiskey's gone.

When I was a little boy I used to sit and ponder But now that I'm a full grown man, I'm simply left to wonder Where did all the time go It's passing with a flash And soon enough I'll return to ash. All my life I've wanted nothing more than to make beauty To conjure from the ether something that was passing through me Something that is wonderful And full of joyful song 'Cause sooner than later I'll be gone. I wanna write, the perfect song A melody that never goes wrong. A chorus filled with triumph And a bridge that fills the heart with longing. A song that everyone will sing. So I try, with every song, to write something of wonder. And even though I've struggled so, I haven't yet gone under. And every song I put to pen Just might be that song. A song to which, you might singalong. And here's the part Where I fall apart I don't know what to do. Every song, I seem to write Seems to pass right through you. I wanna write song that just can't be ignored Ever more.

Twenty little kids executed by some crazed gunman Three thousand pederast priests touching little boys. I'm in Bizarro World. One percent control half the world's money While 842 million people need food. I'm in Bizarro World. If you're up there, can you help us, Superman? Three-quarters of the planet's covered in water But somehow there's not enough water to go around. I'm in Bizarro World Superman, if you're up there, set us free. Superman, are you there? Superman, hear our prayers. Superman, help us now. Superman, don't let us down. There go the polar caps, I hope you got a chance to meet them. They seemed pretty cool, it's too bad they had to go. I'm in Bizarro World. Money, money, money, money, money, money. Money, money, money, money, money, moh-nay!

Katy, oh Katy It seems impossible to me That you have slipped through so many fingers. I'll hold on tightly Like a drowning man who's lost at sea and knows that he will never reach the shore Yes, I know you're beautiful You're lovely like a song I adore the kindness in your eyes. But I know behind that pale blue There is hurt and heartache too So many little wounds that you disguise So lay your heavy heart near mine. Let me feel it beating in your breast Lay your heavy heart near mine Can you hear it's pounding rythmn in my chest? Katy, oh Katy Suddenly the world now seems smaller than it ever did before. Locked in the bedroom, My mind's on fire with thoughts of you My body aches and gives off electric sparks You make me quite wondeful Brimming with wonder You were not meant for this world. You are fucking awesome, love In the most literal sense You fill me with awe, my girl So let us love again Let our love never end. ----------------------------------- Chord Chart capo 2nd fret em, c, em, c, em, c, g, d em, c, g, d pre-chorus c, g, d, am g, d, c bridge

If every time you try, oh, they say that you fail. And when you get some speed, oh, you get derailed If you stand up . They knock. you. down. And if you had the fire but the flame burnt out, well Sugar, don't you know we will never give up The things that don't kill us only toughen us up. And so you go Go. Go. And you gird your loins. Ready the attack, push 'em back . Destroy. And when they come to defy us And when they think they can try us We'll shoot them down. Those bastards, they'll see. We'll light them up like a Christmas tree. Let's get ready for war. Let's go over the top. Let's get ready for war. And we're never ever gonna stop. If everything's a struggle, if everything's a pain If you're almost always losing so much more than you gain Then just stop, just stop, looking for an out And get your self worked up, get ready for a bout, see Brother, we're not going down without a fight Even if we have to set the world on fire Up, up hoist your petards Let's get ready to sound the charge.

The fucking barking is incessant and it's driving me iNsAne I want to kill my neighbor's dog. fuck. fuck. fuck. fuck. / I want to kill my neighbor's dog. motherfucker.

Oh, you know that you are something of a miracle. Yes, you're certainly a wonder of the world. And when you smile And when we kiss (And when you sigh) (And when we touch) I go wild. Every time I see that smile, the crooked one, it drives me wild And I wanna press your lips against mine. So, kiss, kiss me on the lips, let me feel the curve of your beautiful hips As you press your per fect form against mine. Every time I hear your sigh, the little happy, breathy sigh Well, lover, don't you know it drives me wild. So sigh, sigh, lover sigh, let another out, you drive me wild And I wanna show exactly why. Every time you touch me, girl, I feel electric sparks, of that I'm sure You light me up and fill me with a glow So touch, touch, touch me dear, let me feel your body oh-so-near And your electric touch, it's drives me wild. I need you, like I need oxygen Let me breath you in. ----------------------------- Chord Chart! E7, A7 G#m C#m F#m B7

We can't get any more connected. Until we run tiny cables from our brain stems. And we're growing so very disaffected. They're amused, so amused, we amuse them. And there's just no getting over this, there's just no single cure There's a hive mind of vapid, base stupidity and it's pounding down our door. Oh, the kids, the kids, they have become cyborgs. And they're quietly freaking me out. And they're quietly tearing things down. We can't get away, there's no getting out. There's no escape hatch other than shutting down. But we've got so many distractions Pretty lights illuminate new attractions. So just let go and be a part of the dumbing down of all great art. Here's another brand-new technology to replace your beating human heart.
