Hey mother where you going
I don't know I really don't care
Hey father what are you watching
It's the news from yesterday
Hey sister what are you doing
I'm doing my nails, there's nothing wrong (I swear)
Hey brother why are you leaving
There ain't no living in a broken home
I don't want to be this way, I don't want to feel your pain
I don't want to be your slave, I don't want to be
Another wave
Hey grandpa how are you feeling
To be honest I'm pretty ill
Hey grandma what are you taking
Boy, It's just another pill
Hey uncle how are you feeling
I just want to fuck her twice a day
Hey auntie what's he thinking
Well I don't know but I can tell you his mind
I don't want to be this way, I don't want to feel your pain
I don't want to be your slave, I don't want to be
Another wave
My friends told me to get out
But I'm not sure how
One day I'll be leaving this house, one day will be my farewell
My friends told me to get out
But I’m not sure how
Soon I'll be telling my farewell
I don't want to be this way
I don't want to feel your pain.
I don't want to be no slave
I don't want to be
Another wave (I don't wanna be)
Another wave (I don't wanna be)
Another wave (I don't wanna be)
Another, another, another
Another wave

Call Me The Devil

They call me the sinner
And I walk the line
Between evil and bad
The holy bastards driving me mad
Just try to tempt me to sin again
I don't want no teasing from your church friends
My father was watching with bleeding hands
I don’t want any lies about the
The promised land, they call me the devil
They call me the devil
My heart is black inside
They call me the devil
The devil (x2)
I don't want your sympathy
They call me the devil
My heart is black inside
They call me the devil
The devil (x2)
They call me the devil
My head is fucked inside
They call me the devil
The devil (x2)
They call me the devil….

Asian Woman

The Asian woman dressed up in red
She lies down and lights herself a cigarette
Her work is done here time to leave it behind
The woman still has yesterday on her mind
It's hard to live in a place far away from home
Brought against your will and now you're on your own
Forced to sell your soul till it's all that you know
They want more you care less and that is all
The needle is sharp it pushes in her veins
Getting fucked up to forget all of the pain
Stole 50 dollars from the blonde next door
And how long it'll be till she can't take any more
It's hard to live in a place far away from home
Brought against your will now you're on your own
Forced to sell your soul till it's all that you know
They want more you care less and that is all
Break me free
From the men I see
I feel ashamed you see
Bring back my family
Break me free
From the men I see
I feel ashamed you see
Bring me back my family
It's hard to live in a place far away from home
Brought against your will and now you're on your own
Forced to sell your soul till it's all that you know
They want more you care less and that is all
It's hard to live in a place far away from home
Brought against your will and now you're on your own
Forced to sell your soul till it's all that you know
They want more you care less and that is all

Running Again

Somewhere in Mexico miles away from home sweet home
I'm feeling out of breath in this desert all alone
My bottle is empty and my highway woman left from me
I think it's time for change get in the car and drive with me
I'm tripping heavy on the freeway 45
I can't remember if I'm dropping dead or jump alive
Bat country rocking desperate for a sign of alien life
Blast off my rocket ship let's see if you'll survive
Found myself chasing after false hopes false dreams
I had enough of sprinting for the things I can't achieve
I'll get to superstardom to trace my name on the moon
Then fly to hit up mars and I'll be out of breath till June
Crawling for water
Walk in the rain
Sprint for the devil
I’m running again
Crawling goes nowhere
Waking in pain
Run around in circles
I got blown away
Going like lightning rippin’ through the face of speed and sound
Float in the stratosphere not a single around
Boredom just bit me and it takes my skin thrown in the bin
So I decide it's time to find a bar get tonic gin
I’m playing poker on space station 40-I
One cocky astronaut goes all in to get my hide
I tell his bluff and raise him up win will I
Then he draws a flush and need to run for my life
I'm crawling for water
Walk in the rain
Sprint for the devil
Running again
Crawling goes nowhere
Walking in pain
Run around in circles
I got blown away
I met a green man tin foil wrapped alert
I told my friend and he said "boy that bull is just absurd"
My trip on mars was short lived, no mints, no gifts
The bedrock was too dry I’ll snort it up shut up and fly
Crawling for water,
Walk in the rain.
Sprint for the devil
Running again
Crawling goes nowhere,
waking in pain
Run around in circles
I got blown away
Crawling for water,
Walk in the rain.
Sprint for the devil,
I’m Running again
Crawling goes nowhere,
walking in pain
Run around in circles
I got blown away
I’m running again!

The Compounds – Rockin’ Machine
I kissed a lady never meant to be
fell in my arms planted a kiss on me
it felt so wrong it felt so right
Her lips so sweet she got me going tonight
Went to her room at 1:39
I showed her how to have a good time
My ladies gonna kill me but I don't really care
This woman’s so sweet knocked me right off my feet
One mean rockin' machine
One mean rockin' machine
The damn hottest woman that you’ve ever seen
One mean rockin’ machine
I'll be her lover and mine she'll be
Sweet loving moves are killing me
I'll have some whiskey and she drinks some wine
She's so good we'll loose the track on time
She's got me going moving up and down
The animals in heat take the night downtown
And for all those things that she has done
She and me are getting close to come
Went to her room at 139
I showed her how to have a good time
My ladies gonna kill me but I don’t give a damn
This woman's so hot that I'll be running tonight
One mean rockin' machine
One mean rockin' machine
The damn hottest woman that you've ever seen
One mean rockin’ machine
One mean rockin' machine (x7)
One mean…
One mean rockin' machine
She’s one mean mean rockin' machine
She’s the damn hottest woman that you’ve ever seen
One mean rockin' machine
She is one mean rockin' machine
One mean mean rockin’ machine
The damn hottest woman she’s a bit obscene
One mean wow!
