Coughing Up A Storm (1995)
Go
Walking by myself oh how I wish with someone else
Oh we could be so strong
It didn't have to happen if I bought myself a gun
He would have been on the run
What fun
'cause he's a fucking genius
He's a genius a fucking genius
He's a genius he's a genius
A fucking genius
Walk away if your reactions are gone
I can't believe he thinks this is fun
I would love to be inside his head
If it's empty there's no room for me to
kick out both his eyeballs, and punch out both his ears
I'll find the braincell that he's got
Play ten-pin bowls and fuck it up
But it doesn't matter, It doesn't matter a bit because
He's a fucking genius
He's a genius a fucking genius
He's a genius he's a genius
A fucking genius
His intellect is far beyond you and me
He's so smart he can't even speak
I wish I understood all that he knows
Just hit me and I'll understand
the word he yells from his car as he drives along
If only I had studied more I might have known the origins of
maarmumarr
He can lecture with his fists
He's pissed and he's a fucking genius
He's a genius a fucking genius
He's a genius he's a genius
A fucking genius
He's a genius he's a genius
A fucking genius
Why can't you see you shouldn't have
generated all this bullshit while you had the chance
The power that you have is such a waste
Don't try to extend your hand
'cause all I've got to tell you
Is that I don't give a fuck
It's such a Fraud
it is such a fr-orrrrrrrrd
When something hits you in the face
maybe you would notice if it hit
below the waist
Perpetuate the tired and backward taste
Don't try to extend your hand
'cause all I've got to tell you
Is that I don't give a fuck
I'm not a coward I've got sense
When it comes to self-defense
I'd rather leave the scene than fight
You can try and you just might
You can succeed to make me bleed
RUN!
Run away from this anger
if you just can't stand the ground
Look at what you've found
Start to pray when you hear the speech
Of what are you looking at
Well I'm not looking at you
Don't delay if you can't escape
It's harder to rationalise when all you feel is hate
I can't perceive why you demean yourself
and all those around you
your rudeness astounds me
Yeah... gonna have some fun
Yeah... with everyone
Yeah... gonna have some fun
Yeah... we're gonna have some fucking fun
Touch the sky with your middle finger
When it gets too hot distraction's all you've got
We can deceive if it's only hope
Deception is easy when you're dealing with dickheads
Get off
Get off
Don't skate
Too late
Walk straight
You are trying to protect your face
Can you see that it is a disgrace
disgrace
you can't take us down
You can't take us down...
Get off
Don't skate
Too late
Walk straight
You have lost respect you never gained
Do we have to fight you to explain
explain
you can't take us down
You can't take us down...
Get off
Don't skate
Too late
Walk straight
Get off
I trusted you with everything between my head and soul
but maybe now you don't believe I've got one
Say that I don't understand but fucking hell I tried
but you just drank it up and spat it in my face
because
I hate the way you hate
That'll be it ???
Looking down the barrel of a gun
Can't see what you have won
Underline putting the emphasis on fun
catch a glimpse out of the corner of my eye
of all the traits I try to hide
Don't beat yourself up about the future
just drink yourself into another stupor
We're middle class, white
Suburban males
Nothing that is said or is spoken
Puts the truth in the open
No regrets we don't lie about our sheltered lives
I didn't realise that it mattered
where you came from
Take a look at yourself
Looking down the barrel of a gun
Can't see what you have won
Why try to hide when you might
just as well have been crucified
Why be ashamed when there's nothing that can be done
Take a look at yourself
Don't speak when you're spoken to
If you can't say something nice
just say what you like
and if you can say what you like
don't say shit
If you want to speak your mind
watch and you will find
that no-one cares
and if they care
then they won't want to know
I know your resistance is futile
Don't be afraid to say
whatever comes your way
because if you don't you will regret it
and you're pride will go
If you want to wait in line
don't walk across it
If you want to, fine
or if you don't you should never try
I know your resistance is futile
When you're never saying what's on your mind
Do you think about what you do or what you say?
Does it matter who gets fucked along the way?
Is it worth the effort just to see them pay?
If everybody does it doesn't make everything okay
I'd like to wipe this, I'd like to wipe this from my mind
I'd like to step away, I'd like to step away
I am so sick and tired of this, tired of this
Would you like to go away, away from here
Where you don't have to address what you can't hear
All that you do, you don't believe everything
All that you do, you don't believe anything
Would you like to go away, away from here
Where you don't have to address what you can't hear
All that you do, you don't believe everything
If you weren't here we could believe anything
I want to need to clarify
The reason you have to bring nothing home tonight
You lie, they just don't try
It's just your useless diatribe
You're looking good, you sound good
It's just a shame that you don't say what you should
Infotainment... Doesn't think people try
Infotainment... It's more than a lie
If you don't like it you can shut up and die
Infotainment... Now we're asking you...why?
I want to need to clarify
The reason you have to bring nothing home tonight
No intellect no self respect
No-one hears what you neglect
Eyewitness what a joke. If you saw it
then you kept it to...yourself
Ask yourself do you need this information?
When the result will dissolve into masturbation.
Let yourself decide.
I like you to talk to
I don't want a hard sell
Hold on to yourself
Maybe find someone else
I want you to stay back
You could lose face
The time hasn't come to
compromise but when it does I'll cut you down
and I don't want to fuck you
Well I think you're really nice
but I couldn't bring myself to fuck you
One, Two, Three, Four...
Why can't you see what you do to yourself
When you get down on the floor
You'll graze your knees, wet the floor
disgrace yourself and someone else
I want you to get real
Don't trust your instincts
The time hasn't come to
compromise but when it does I'll cut you down
and I don't want to fuck you
Well I think you're really nice
but I couldn't bring myself to fuck you
You can come 'round to my house but I don't want to fuck you
Well I think you're really nice
but I couldn't bring myself to fuck you
I'll bring you down every time
you wanted to come around
It's a shame I'm not ashamed
'cause it's just a fucking game
I'm anger?? and it's in me
Nothing you say will sooth me, oh no, oh no
Is it me or are you colourless?
Your ignorance embarrasses, oh yeah, oh yeah
Now see all the things you discriminate against
But it just seems as though there is no thought at all
Tell all your friends of the freaks in the store that you laugh, we're bored
You stare and you point, but the point is you're sight, it is tunneled, stupidity
Well the bile in my throat is the sickening that you caused in my hope, in my hope
I'm not a racist or a homophobe, but I think I'm a dumbaphobe
It's as though you won't walk
Sup...
Comes in a box
It will fuck you up
It speaks so softly to you
tell you to have a sup
It's moselle, chablis, rosé, reisling
When you think it's gone
Well you know it's not
Just blow it up
Because you know that it's all you've got
It's cheaper than the box it comes in
4 Litres...
Choke on number 1
Retch on number 2
When four comes around you know that it's all good news
Only buy claret if it's the last goon in the shop
4 Litres...
It's up to you sup the goon
It's up to sup
It's up to you sup the sup it sup it
4 Litres...
Misinterpretations over-blown
Question all the thought that I've been shown
And I don't know what is real
Only you can tell me how to feel
Ask me if I'm tripping and the answer is 'who knows'?
Did you understand what I just said?
Interpretations of a sexist joke
And I don't know what is real
Only you can tell me how to feel
And I don't know how to feel
And I still question what is real
I can hear a car alarm in the distance
And I'm sitting in my attic all alone
And this one wish keeps on creeping inside my pointless imagination
Is that I could have another cone with you
You said you'd see much more often
But I'm staring at my carpet once again
And I know I could break down the walls and prove our communication
If I could have another cone with you
yes, if I could have another cone with you
Well I know that it's unreasonable to want to talk it through
And I say that I don't understand but you tell me it's not true
I know that if we had a smoke we'd start anew
If I could have another cone with you
Well what you say, what you say, wanting your own space
and I know that it would be different if you'd just get off your face
I know that if we had a smoke we'd start anew
If I could have another cone with you
Well I know that it's unreasonable to want to talk it through
And I say that I don't understand but you tell me it's not true
I know that if we had a smoke we'd start anew
If I could have another cone with you...
I never liked the way you're pushing me around
I couldn't stand it when you thought that you had found
Someone you're bigger than, I know it's just a front
You walk right up to me and whisper sweetly to me
Kaan Kaant
I'm gonna fight you
You think authority can knock me to the ground
I've come to realise it's not what you've found
Someone you're bigger than, I know it's just a front
You walk right up to me and whisper softly to me
Kaan Kaant
I'm gonna fight you
