Rat Patrol

We could use those men in tan.
You say what do we know.
Whoah oh oh oh oh oh.
Whoah oh oh oh oh oh.

What do we need to take control
We could use the rat patrol

What's that coming over the dune?
Yea well that's what we know
Whoah oh oh oh oh oh.
Whoah oh oh oh oh oh

Chasing them halftracks
Across the sand flats.
Got a nice pine box for that desert fox.
Machine guns blaring
And Arabs staring
Wondering why the Westerners are there.
It's the same old story
And it never ends. It'll happen again. Whoah oh oh oh oh......

Surf Combat

Staring at the lifeguards
Hear mommy scream
I ain't got no morals
It's a bloody wayout dream
The noon-day sun makes you want to kill

Mining all beaches
Flying hands and feet
Poison in your Thermos
Is no fun but discreet
Muscle Beach is now Pork Chop Hill

Barbecuring babies
Shish-kabob bikinis
Napalm makes you vomit
As it sizzles off your weenie
Surf combat

Gear

I got a nuclear breeder
I got a retro blaster
Mobile silos
ICBMs

They'll rip your skin off
They'll flay you alive
You try to keep breathing
On this ride of your life

I got gear
I got gear
I got gear
I can use it

I can cause you grief
So you try to keep breathing
On this ride of your life
Buckle in strap down buckle in
Strap in buckle down strap down
You try and stop me try and stop me
It's the ride of my life

Well ICBMs and retro blasters
I got mobile silos, I got
I got multiple independent reentry vehicles
Ya know you can't stop me
You can't stop me
You can't stop me
I got heat-seeking missiles in my garage
My dad's bigger than yours
My dad's bigger than a garage
Waiting here in my garage
Waiting here in my garage

Metastasis

I am a featus
I am a tumor
I am the local slime mold

I am a pupa
I am a larva
I am a Emperor Tojo

Metatastisize
Metatastisize

I am a lizard
I am a nymph
I am a three-toed gecko

Leeches

Lions and tigers and bears!
Bears!

Roller Queen

On

I Don't Know

Listen now to what I say
About the kids of today
Subscribe to them all your fears
'Til they become like you

What poor gods we do make (x4)
I don't know (x4)

So listen now to what I say
About the kids of today
Subscribe to them all your fears
'Til they become like you

Teach them all your fallacies
Contain them in reality
Subscribe to them all your fears
'Til they become like you

Then a slippage happens
In your rankes
And causes all... your morals sank
For us to create our own
And we became like you

What poor gods we do make

Libido

Get away from me boy
Don't even want a girl
My libido is low
My libido is low
Don't wanna have sex
Hardly play with myself
My libido is low
My libido is low

Well I guess it happened
Just last week
Got all hepped up on too much speed
And I danced 'til my prostate fell out

Better dominate me
I like to lie there
My libido is low
My libido is low
Once a week I look at dirty pictures
I rape myself
My libido is low
My libido is low

I heard this happens to older men
I wish I'd started when I was ten
I might as well just lob it off
And feed it to my dog
Woof woof

(Piano: Kristin Haggerty)

Only In America

You start your own company
Only in America
Mixing chemicals in a new way
Only in America
Making cancer every day
Only in America

Then someone can make a buck
With the cure for your bad luck
When you're born you start to die
Don't know from what
And you don't know why

So you start your own religious cult
Only in America
Live on the San Andreas Fault
Only in America
Eat your own weight in salt
Only in America
Pick your boogers in your car
Only in America

Then someone can make a buck
With the cure for your bad luck
You buy a couch with food stamps
Be the woman with Midol cramps

It happens only in the USA
Only in America

No Sex

(Liners: "This is a song about an actual experience between a young man and woman.")

[Incomplete]

It's all the same to me
I never liked love anyway

No sex no sex no sex no sex no sex no sex
Sex no sex no sex no sex no sex no sex

Never wanted it in the butt
Never wanted it in the rear
