The Misinformed Vs. The Uniformed
Words by Paul Streckfus
Music by Jorge Lara, Lino Max, Juan Ramos, Ernest Salaz, and Paul Streckfus
Did you hear the one
About the man who bought himself a gun
And shot every cop in view
He said I'll never get done
I'll never get through
Until the last dead cop is glue
Gonna make a huge paper-mache
Cook up a deep stew
Then we'll all eat good sleep good that day
What about you?
Gonna bring all the bottles bikes and bats
Arm all the dogs and cats to the teeth
You wanna be a lawyer?
There's no future in law
I've been hearing it all
The whisper is the word
But I'm not sure
It’s just what I've heard
What about you?
What about you?
Whatcha gonna do?
Can you handle the news?
Start your prayers!
Stop the press!
Everybody dress for success!
Did you read the way
Our country drove the terror away?
And no one died
Yeah right
Now we occupy for the good of all
Can you leave your TV sets
To see what comes next?
I'm waiting by
Tell me about it!
More news at five
Check back again to see if I'm dead or alive
What about you?
What you gonna do?
Can you handle the news?
Start your prayers!
Stop the press!
Everybody dress for success!
So I put on a tight fit
And I zipped up right
I had it all in place so square
Infiltrated the layer of the high-top
Where the plans are drawn
They didn't know it was me
I had a uniform on!
And a gun with bullets
For the assassination of number one
He's going down like that!
Start your prayers!
Stop the press!
Everybody dress for success!
Suck for your death!

The Final Dis
Words by Paul Streckfus
Music by Jorge Lara, Lino Max, Juan Ramos, Ernest Salaz, and Paul Streckfus
One for us
One for them
Don't be confused
I achieve my end
A final dis
Yeah the final dis
You want that but I want this
But I’ll never return to the scene of the crime
Ah the final dis
Kiss my fist
You want that?
Take some of this!
Oh I'm so glad
Erase me from your list
We like our new client
Never return to the scene of the crime
Could you get back in time
The leper lost his face
Yet another one took its place so fast
Now he's only got one
But this one
Talks out of its ass
Never return to the scene of the crime
Never return to the scene of the crime
Never return to the scene of the crime
Never return to the scene of the crime
Never return to the scene of the crime
The final dis
The final dis
I got you, you got me
It ain’t through
But I got you last
I burned your ass
Give me a kiss
All I wanted was just one kiss

Death of the Insect Queen
Words by Paul Streckfus
Music by Jorge Lara, Lino Max, Juan Ramos, Ernest Salaz, and Paul Streckfus
Come visit me
In the minefield
My love
Come under umbrella
To protect your soft-skinned skull
The forecast said
There might be hail
But I'm numb
I’m numb
Come visit me
Oh please come
My pets have wings of mercury
And bodies of stone
Please try not to step on my pets
They are building me a nest to live in
One with many windows and doors
So I can spend my time locking
And latching and locking
Locking and latching and
Locking and latching
In the sky a roar fit to level
My perfectly square-made house
I've got some news for you
You aren't gonna like it
They don't talk back
Driving by on I-35
The blue lights beckon
These monsters to heaven
Oh, I hope to go someday
I might live under the freeway
So I'm digging back under
My skin might change color
Singing to the bright lights
Navigate me towards the moon

Mutant Lover Special
Words by Lino Max
Music by Jorge Lara, Lino Max, Juan Ramos, Ernest Salaz, and Paul Streckfus
A proposition
What’s your position?
Like the coils of a snake we are joined
Tail to head
Head to tail
Fangs break skin
Could I have poisoned my best friend?
I don't care who
Ends up on top of who
I don’t care who
Ends up on top of who
I'm taking the blood from your veins
Don't complain
When I
Replace the drain
You won't be the same
I don't care who
Ends up on top of who
Mutant lover
Mi amor
Especial
A proposition
What’s your position?
Wrestling on the porch outside
A figure four
We play too vicious
I'm eating you
Cause you're nutritious
I don't care who
Now there's something you must choose
I don't care who
Now there's something you must choose
Mutant lover
Mi amor
A mutant
But there is the question of incurable heartbreak
In shambles
Incurable heartbreak
Broken records
Incurable heartbreak
Vacant lots
Incurable heartbreak
Unemptied ashtrays
Incurable heartbreak
In piles
Incurable heartbreak
On the floor
Incurable heartbreak
A kiss
A touch
Behind closed doors
I'm taking the blood from your veins
You won't be the same
I’m taking the blood from your veins
Don't complain

Victim
Words by Paul Streckfus
Music by Jorge Lara, Lino Max, Juan Ramos, Ernest Salaz, and Paul Streckfus
I feel like
Like
I feel like
Like I wish I had a gun in my hand
Double-barrelled
Loaded
Yeah I'm going over to your house
Walk over to your place
Take your garbage cans
And throw that shit all over the ground
Yeah
Just like that
It'll be so easy
I know where you live
Whoo!
Gonna take a huge rock
Throw it through your front window
Bang!
I'm in I see you
I know where you are
It doesn't matter where you're hiding
Nothing matters anymore
Except what you done to me so long ago
See you in the kitchen
In front of your microwave
In the bathroom
Sitting on the toilet
Wiping your ass
Laying down on the bedroom floor
In front of your mirror
In front of your vanity glass
In the living room
It doesn't matter anymore
No
Because I'm dragging you out into the street
I'm the victim
I’m the victim
I’m the victim
Remember my face when you lay your head down
Remember my face
At night on your pillow case
When you lay your head down at night
With your socks pulled up
You're so cozy you're so comft)
And your covers over your shoulder
I'm sorry I'm sorry
It'll wash away the traces of fatigue
(Windows open I'm coming in
But not me
Your morning glass of water
Take a taste
Not my memory
Take a taste
I wish I
I
I wish I had a long sword
Razor sharp
Double-edged
Yeah!
Gonna cut you open like a swollen fish
Oh just like that
Just like that
See your bloody red gills pumping
Sucking for H2O
Your tail flapping around
On the Gulf Coast of Mexico
Gonna cut you open
From ear to ear
From chin to toe
I see your heart pumping
Reach my hand inside of there
And give it a squeeze
See the blood coming out
Watch it flow
Watch it run down your leg
Down your pants
Filling up the sea
Filling
Flowing over
My cup runneth over
I dig a hole
I plant a seed
I fertilize
It grow so tall
Going up going high high going up
Going up to the sun
Going high, high, high
Gonna climb it
Climb it
Gonna build a grapefruit tree
Going up just for me
See that big juicy grapefruit
Gonna eat that shit every morning for breakfast
That will grow my vitamins
ABCDEFG
Up! Up!
I’m the victim!
I’m the victim!
I’m the victim!
Up! Up! Up! Up!
I’m the victim!
I’m the victim!
I’m the victim!

The Fossil
Words by Paul Streckfus and Lino Max
Music by Jorge Lara, Lino Max, Juan Ramos, Ernest Salaz, and Paul Streckfus
If a frozen fossil
Said his prayers to the moon
I know they’re coming soon
So soon
Each day I greet these frozen dinners
Because they’re my family
I learn the credo well
As it is taught to me
They live on top of me
All these years
Read the signs
Fifty years ago in time
Petrified
Homogenized
Layers of the forgotten
The worst generation
The one that was mine
I learn the credo well
As it is taught to me
I learned to crawl on the land
I always thought I would leave
I always thought I would lead
They live on top of me
They live on top of me
They live on top of me
Lightning strikes the heart
Blood beating cooly
Now tearing skin apart
Severed from the ground
So glad that I am found
Frozen fossil
Frozen fossil
You’re so proud
You play it loud
I’m slipping out of the buzz
The here and now
But don’t forget where you were born
Who was there?

Matches For The Fuse
Words by Paul Streckfus
Music by Jorge Lara, Lino Max, Juan Ramos, Ernest Salaz, and Paul Streckfus
Matches fit into a small box
That is where they stay dry
But once a match is lit
Will let fire fly
Straight up and down
Like words
Printed by a machine
Bold and black
And black on white
And organized
I wanted to find you
I’m going to find it
Soldiers at attention
Ready for war with apprehension
Soldiers
Ready for war
They got more than they bargained for
Coming through on the tube
A man with a piece
On his head said
There's a moon
Encircling
Satellite give us war crime scene
I wanted to find you
I’m going to find it
I dodged five crazy motorists
My brother and sister shooting bullets
Send me back
In a box over the sea
Matches for the fuse
Feeds the bomb that I sling
A man once lit himself
And his smoke was uncontrolled
He let it roll up to the sky
That looks down
So cold
All the king's horses
All the king's men
Threw up their arms
At the sight of his skin
Burning
He was made from the mold
Another matchbox
Another matchbox
Another matchbox sentinel

Having The Devil On Your Side
Words by Paul Streckfus and Lino Max
Music by Jorge Lara, Lino Max, Juan Ramos, Ernest Salaz, and Paul Streckfus
Daredevil takes a ride
Got his car on fire
Cruising down a phantom wire
Up ahead a brick wall
No fear
No fear
He steps on the gas
He collides
But he survives
He survives
Top of the scraper
Standing on a chair
Balanced on a table
Got his hands in the air
He waves so long
But he survives
He survives
Because he got the devil on his side
Daredevil
He’s got the devil on his side
Dare
Daredevil
He’s got the devil on his side
Adelita mi vida
We are side by side
It’s us against them
Bullet-proof
Buried alive
It’ll take fifty tons of dynamite
Inside of a steel box
Throw out the keys
Throw out the locks
Just give us
Give us one two three
Minutes and you’ll see
That the fire can’t take us
No it’s just half-baked us
Yeah we got the devil on our side
We got the devil on our side
We got the devil on our side
We got the devil on our side
We got the devil on our side
We got him
Right there yeah
That old white piece of shit
Down the block
Living in a white house
Got everybody
Sucking his cock
Shrouded in black
Protected by lies
The things he decides
I wish he would die
Adelita
Adelita don’t say goodbye
Adelita
Don’t say goodbye so soon
Raar!
Raar!
Raar!
Raar!
Raar!

Under The Lid
Words by Paul Streckfus
Music by Jorge Lara, Lino Max, Juan Ramos, Ernest Salaz, and Paul Streckfus
With a very hard rock
And a heavy brick
I took my muscles
To the edge of the lake
Broke the surface
Sucked in suffocation
Walked onto the water
Just like
My sisters did
Yelled out creatures the sky is a lid
It's getting hotter
And we can't get out
Lid’s closed tight
That we can't get out
This planet is a prison but I see a small hole
It's just big enough
For me to climb out
Under the lid
Under the shell
I bust the boundary
That made Icarus fall
We were all thrown in with famine and war
To add some taste to the swill
The politicians and the morticians
Have set the table for the kill
My phone's been tapped
My job video-taped
But they don't know I've been planning escape
Watching the stars
For the right time
Keep a wide eye
Under the lid
Under the shell
I bust the boundary
That made Icarus
Icarus
Gonna build a rocket
And go straight up
Fly in a saucer
To the lip of the cup
You aren't seeing much
When you say that's forbid
Billion bubbles
Five billion boiling under the lid
Head straight for Mars Pluto X
When I get there I'm gonna
Get me some sex
With the creepy crawly things
That come up to speak
The atmosphere is thick
And I feel so weak
When I get there I'm gonna raise hell
As my bones start to freeze
And my eyeballs melt
Stick my ear underwater
I can hear the creatures say
I have just one wish to make
Bust the surface
Leave this lake
Grow some bones for walking
Got a lid of our own
Stop your talking
Got a lid of our own
We live under a lid
I live under a lid
I live
I live I live under a lid
I live I live I live

Possession Weapon
Words by Paul Streckfus
Music by Jorge Lara, Lino Max, Juan Ramos, Ernest Salaz, and Paul Streckfus
So many more
So many many more
This country I love her
I made her my whore
A sore slowly simmers
On the tip of the core
Two legs open
Asking for more ha
More! More! More! More!
I’ll rip your ass with my double edge sword
Suck your blood from the hole that I tore
Two hands open
Asking for more
Got some power
I'm rich you're poor
Possession is a weapon
Who's her greatest amor?
Big cat big shot
Sitting high above
Got me staring down the barrel
Of the money that you love
Shirt so white so pressed
Got my tie so tight
Guess what I think I pass your test
More! More! More! More!
I'll lick the crap right off of the floor
Suck your blood from the hole that I tore
Two hands open asking for more saying
Give me that
Give me give me that
Give me that
Give me some of that
Give me that
Give me some of that shit
Give me that
Give me give me that
Give me give me that
Won’t you give me some of that?
Possession is a weapon
Big cat big shot
Sitting high above
Got me staring down the barrel
Of the money that you love
Shirt so white so pressed
Got my tie so tight
Guess what I pass your test
More! More! More! More!
I’ll rip your ass with my double edge sword
A sore simmers on the tip of the core
Two men in chains knocking at my door
All day long we wait in line
You chew the melon
I see the rind
How many dots on the grand design
Hey get away that’s
Mine mine mine mine mine!
Give me that
Give me give me that
Give me that
Give me some of that
Give me give me that
Give me that
Give me some of that shit
Give me that
Give me some of that
Give me give me
Give me that
Won’t you give me some of that
Give me
Give me that give me
Give me some of that
Hey ya hey ya ha

A Place To Crash
Words by Lino Max
Music by Jorge Lara, Lino Max, Juan Ramos, Ernest Salaz, and Paul Streckfus
Twelve blocks to see my brother
Something growing
Something slowing to a grind
Magenta sex covers the walk
No trespassing spray painted in red
I passed that sign one hundred times
Santo Santo Santo
I threw myself out a window
It was pretty easy I didn’t even look down
Canto canto canto
All my trash is out on the curb
Because tomorrow is the day
Out at night the trip is the trick
You're trying but you can't hide it
The Phantom is my bike
Do you want to ride it
Take it off go anywhere you want to
Just come back in time
Because I got to go to work pretty soon
The man at the door wants to see some ID
And the line around the corner seems just that long
Someone's always counting years
Yeah this place sucks
And I don’t even know why we’re here
There's Raggedy Ann throwing out the empty beers
I wonder if she counts them
Was it just a lot of trash
That’s all they sold tonight
There's much more here
Than a place to crash
There's much more here for you
There's much more here
Than a place to crash
There's much more here for you
There's much more here
Than a place to crash
There's much more here for you
There’s much more here for you
All my trash is out on the curb
Shaking like chicken with limbs akimbo
Santo Santo Santo
I threw myself out a window
But I missed the curb
Brush dust off
It settles again
I would burn down my house
Let my lease burn
All of my clutter flaming up to the sun
If my neighbor down the street
The one with the little dogs
If she was looking on
Would she throw her own junk on the bon?
Her lawn decorations
Throw it on
There's much more here
Than a place to crash
There's much more here for you
So much more than a place to crash
They’re still here for you
So much more than a place to crash
There’s much more here for you
So much more than a place to crash
There’s much more here for you
