THE ALMIGHTY LYRICS

1. Broken Machine

I can't think a million years wide
But I'll try, I'll try to outnumber
No is not a word that comes easy to me
But I'm dying to give in

Blow out your mind when the music's over
Blow out the lights when you think it's over
Turn on the breath when you're needing something

You've got a broken machine
Fix it up, burn it clean
Wash the dirt from your hands
Get out the hole you're digging
You've got a broken machine
Fix it up, burn it clean
Wash the dirt from your hands
Get out the hole you're digging

I don't wanna buy opinions
They're free, but selling seems easy
No is not a word that comes freely to me
But I'm dying to give in

Blow out the lights when you think it's over
Turn on the breath when you're needing something

You've got a broken machine
Fix it up, burn it clean
Wash the dirt from your hands
Get out the hole you're digging
You've got a broken machine
Fix it up, burn it clean
Wash the dirt from your hands
Get out the hole you're digging

You've got a broken machine
Fix it up, burn it clean
Wash the dirt from your hands
Get out the hole you're digging
You've got a broken machine
Fix it up, burn it clean
Wash the dirt from your hands
Get out the hole you're digging

You've got a broken machine
Get out the hole you're digging
You've got a broken machine
Get out the hole you're digging
You've got a broken machine
Get out the hole

2. I'm In Love (With Revenge)

Some motherfucker nail me to the floor
'Cos I can't drink and feel safe anymore
Take a look at the state of my constitution
I feel the need for some retribution

I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love again
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love with revenge

Kung fool kicks or the devil's right hand
What part of fuck off don't you understand
Just leave me alone with my social unrest
'Cos it's nothing o'clock and I'm present tense

I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love again
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love with revenge
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love again
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love with revenge

I wanna move to a world that's not like this
Away from people eating, sleeping, fucking, slashing their wrists
I believe in desperate acts
I believe in getting my own back
And money doesn't change what you think
It only changes what you drink
A big house in Happytown, yeah that's what it's for
Where only the locals get to break the law
So thanks a million for the waste of time
That cocaine confidence is at the end of the line

Some motherfucker nail me to the floor
'Cos I can't drink and feel safe anymore
Take a look at the state of my constitution
I feel the need for some retribution

I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love again
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love with revenge
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love again
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love with revenge

Yes I am
I'm in love again
I'm in love with revenge

3. La Chispa De La Muerte

Survived a stink out on the brink
Sold the past, bought more time to think
Keep track of my friends and enemies
Isn't home where Hell's supposed to be

Out of phase, when your face don't fit
Can't tell if you're hungry or full of shit
You think of yourself as the great survivor
You're not De Niro in Taxi Driver

La Chispa de la Muerte
They're screaming bloody murder
The only thing that's real
We're calendar material

So
We're going back to square one
Start it over again
Going back to square one
Start it over

Moment of weakness that's lasted for years
Subhuman souls crying crocodile tears
Don't like the memories, the time that they took
If you don't want to find out you don't have to look
If you fee, ya heal
You're on a living every day should be a payday
Dreaming of Utopia in a state of pure euphoria
Don't look at me man I can't do nothing for ya

La Chispa de la Muerte
They're screaming bloody murder
The only thing that's real
We're calendar material

So
We're going back to square one
Start it over again
Going back to square one
Start it over

La Chispa de la Muerte
They're screaming bloody murder
The only thing that's real
We're calendar material

So
We're going back to square one
Start it over again
Going back to square one
Start it over
We're going back to square one
Start it over again
Going back to square one
Start it over

4. Big Black Automatic

Your ideas are terrifying
We exist by defiance
And I think that you could be
The one to suss me out

I can live with my lies
'Cos you're the one with the homicide eyes
And I think your smalltown paranoia's justified

Some have never had the sense of freedom
Why have all these people gotta have a reason

I'll only riot if you give me a gun
I'll only riot if you give me a gun
I'll only riot if you give me a gun

Talk about the soul of the nation
Wipe your ass with the whole of creation
Don't let that old school beat you
Red, white, black and blue

We can go downtown if you wanna
Be a party of the great lager culture
'Cos a little amnesia makes everything OK

Be bop a lula, don't let the fool you
Be bop a lula, don't let them try

I'll only riot if you give me a gun
I'll only riot if you give me a gun
I'll only riot if you give me a gun

Everybody needs somebody to kill for
Liberty and justice if it wasn't for the law
Everybody needs somebody to kill for
Do you know who you wanna die for now

Your ideas are terrifying
We exist by defiance
And I think that you could be
The one to suss me out

Some have never had the sense of freedom
Why have all these people gotta have a reason

Be bop a lula, don't let the fool you
Be bop a lula, don't let them try

I'll only riot if you give me a gun
I'll only riot if you give me a gun
I'll only riot if you give me a gun

I'll only riot if you give me a gun
I'll only riot if you give me a gun
I'll only riot if you give me a gun

I'll only riot if you give me a gun
I'll only riot if you give me a gun
I'll only riot if you give me a gun

5. For Fuck's Sake

Why should I give a fuck about Elvis
Like I give a fuck about Vietnam
Why should I give a fuck about JFK
Or give a fuck about who I am
Why should I give a fuck about justice
When the police are thieves in the streets
Why should I give a fuck about voting
When I can do it with my feet

I've never been more paranoid that right now
Never been more paranoid or have I?
I've never been more paranoid that right now
Never been more paranoid or have I?

Winners and other losers
To all the shakers and movers
Winners and other users
To all the substance abusers
It's the curse that refreshes you

Why should I give a fuck about Castro
Like I give a fuck about chairman Mao
Why should I give a fuck about the past
Like I give a fuck about the future fight now
Why should I give a fuck about religion
If Jesus walked no water why didn't he fly
Why should I give a fuck about living
If I know one day I'm gonna die

I've never been more paranoid that right now
Never been more paranoid or have I?
I've never been more paranoid that right now
Never been more paranoid or have I?

Winners and other losers
To all the shakers and movers
Winners and other users
To all the substance abusers
It's the curse that refreshes you

I've never been more paranoid that right now
Never been more paranoid or have I?
I've never been more paranoid that right now
Never been more paranoid or have I?

Winners and other losers
To all the shakers and movers
Winners and other users
To all the substance abusers
Winners and other losers
To all the shakers and movers
Winners and other users
To all the substance abusers
It's the curse that refreshes you

Lets go and burn down the fucking world
Lets go and burn down the fucking world
Lets go and burn down the fucking world
Lets go and burn down the fucking world
Lets go and burn down the fucking world
Lets go and burn down the fucking world
Lets go and burn down the fucking world
Lets go and burn down the fucking world

6. Poison Eyes

Don't get useless on me
Don't get useless on me

There was a time when I knew what to say
But now the words just kinda drift away
Everyday you build yourself a higher wall
Now I can't understand why you won't understand at all

Don't get useless on me
Don't get useless on me

Everybody's got their alibis
Everybody's got those poison eyes
Everybody's got to learn to take a fall
Now I can't understand why you won't understand at all

Don't get useless on me
Don't get useless on me

You couldn't know what I want
You couldn't know what I want
You couldn't know what I want
You used to love what you now burn
You used to love what you now burn
You used to love watch you now burning friends

You couldn't know what I want
You couldn't know what I want
You couldn't know what I want
Don't get useless on me
You couldn't know what I want
Don't get useless on me
You couldn't know what I want
Don't get useless on me

Don't get useless on me
Don't get useless on me
Don't get useless on me
Don't get useless on me

7. White Anger Comedown

I failed the personality test that L. Ron Hubbard gave me
He caught me in the beef bowl looking to score some grave
Zippers cross my eyes hide me from reflection
Even though I'm looking like a perfect imperfection

Why is everybody so unhappy
Why is everybody so unhappy

Come another headtrip creeping through my window
I'm gonna disconnect the phone so I can hear the wind blow
Sipping slow gin and radiation tonic
I'm gonna cup a nod after I vomit

This is a
White anger comedown
White anger comedown
White anger comedown
Why is everybody underwater
Why is everybody under

Feeling supersonic living inside a fish bowl
Where everybody's blowing smoke rings up my asshole
Think I'm hearing voices, they're making me irate
'Cos even though it's early man, they're telling me I'm late

This is a
White anger comedown
White anger comedown
It's white anger comedown
White anger comedown
It's white anger comedown
White anger comedown
It's white anger comedown
White anger comedown
Why is everybody so unhappy
Why is everybody so unhappy

8. Tnt

I want another drink
I want to fit right in
So maybe I can be out of my mind
Paint a picture of me
And that's just what you'll see
But we don't always like what we find

Now I'm really coming alive
Yeah, I'm feeling right and everybody's cool
Until I opened my eyes, saw your face, heard the lies
Realisation, I see right through you

Take me away
Don't wanna stay, don't wanna wait
Just want it now I'm gonna say

I want, I want, I want it all
Fame and fortune, materialism
Sex and drugs, Rock 'n' Roll Nihilism

I want to find some space
I want to fit this face
So maybe I can look like you do
Wear a big wide smile
And hide behind the denial
Then keep telling myself who loves you

Now I'm really coming alive
Yeah, I'm feeling right and everybody's cool
Until I opened my eyes, saw your face, heard the lies
Realisation, the words don't fit you

Take me away
Don't wanna stay, don't wanna wait
Just want it now I'm gonna say

I want, I want, I want it all
Fame and fortune, materialism
Sex and drugs, Rock 'n' Roll Nihilism

No you can't do that
No no you can't do that
No you can't do that
No no you can't do that

I want, I want, I want it all
Fame and fortune, materialism
Sex and drugs, Rock 'n' Roll Nihilism

9. Stop

Going up to come down again
Hang up's here so just call friends
I'm feeling easy but I wanna go home

Took a walk in the pouring rain
A down pour floods my life again
But I've never ever seen the eye of this storm

Here's sitting home alone
Sitting, thinking, waiting by the phone
I don't think I think at all
There's too much time I can't recall

Stop, stopping the crash, heads in a mash
Got myself going crazy
Stop and let me off, just get me off
Just stop and let me outta here

Turning off to turn on again
Strung out daze, was I strung out then
I'm feeling easy why don't you leave me alone

Everybody wants a piece to eat
A slice of life to taste elite
I'll see you later starving at the door

Here's sitting home alone
Sitting, thinking, waiting by the phone
I don't think I think at all
There's too much time I can't recall

Stop, stopping the crash, heads in a mash
Got myself going crazy
Stop and let me off, just get me off
Just stop and let me outta here

Stop, stopping the crash, heads in a mash
Got myself going crazy
Stop and let me off, just get me off
Just stop and let me outta here

Stop!

10. Usak-47

They're playing Curtis on the radio
As my baby does another line
Sitting in the sun drinking Koka-Kola
it's Mickey Mouse real life TV prime time
It's an urban combat sitcom
A nations morality carwash
All personality bypass
And white trash Ku Klux Klowns

You can't help watching what you can't stand watching
You can't help watching what you can't stand watching

USAK-47
USAK-47
USAK-47
We're blown away by the USA
We're blown away every single day

I always wanted a Cadillac
Making down payments on a dream
And Billy Boy the Apocalyptic Kid
Man wishing that her dress was clean
They love the smell of guilt in the morning
Surprise, surprised you r government lies
Getting retrogressive in the bedroom
Crankin' up the MotorCity5

You can't help watching what you can't stand watching
You can't help watching what you can't stand watching

USAK-47
USAK-47
USAK-47
We're blown away by the USA
Blown away every single day

Fun fun fun
Until your daddy takes the meaning away
Fun fun fun
Until your daddy takes the meaning away
Fun fun fun
Until your daddy takes the meaning away
Fun fun fun
Fun fun fun

You can't help watching what you can't stand watching
You can't help watching what you can't stand watching

11. Alright

Don't try to tell me where I come from
'Cos I can see you need a new pair of eyes
I owe my life to the people I hate
You got a hell of a nerve to criticise
Don't give out more that you're getting
Insults exchanged for revenge
Nothing's better than a kick in the teeth
To keep it sweet until the bitter end

Boxed in a corner boxing my way out
Write another line write myself right out
Been kicked when down kicking back kicked me out
There's always one more thing to shout about

I wanna make it all
I wanna make it all
I wanna make it all
I wanna make it all
Alright

Got pissed on a diet of misinformation
It was the substance of my youth
Thinking about who you might have been
That ain't no lie 'cos that's the truth
God doesn't know where the hell he's going
Everybody's got a soul on a roll
Where's Lee Harvey 'cos we need him now
It's subterfuge second hand control

That reflective spark that the day's been lacking
Perfection in the bars where love died laughing
Slaves to the beat of the easily led
I can feel the night sliding through my head

I wanna make it all
I wanna make it all
I wanna make it all
I wanna make it all
Alright

Something we never got around to getting around to
A lot of memories are the hurting ones
Trying to steal something with everybody watching you
Friday night's like a starting gun

I wanna make it all
I wanna make it all
I wanna make it all
I wanna make it all
Alright
Alright
Alright
Alright

12. Barfly

Streetfight, goodnight, turned out alright
Everybody's waiting for the last bus home
Gatecrash, what a bash, fucked up, no cash
Everybody's waking up, heads exploding

It's coming round again
Gonna get my coat after one more last one
The bell is ringing time
Do it all again yeah, tomorrow night
I said...

Hey, you, me
Living like a barfly
Hey, you, me
Living like a barfly

Discotheque, get wrecked. black eye, hen-pecked
Everybody wishes they were on their own
True romance, last chance, wake up, no pants
Everybody's beautiful with beer goggles on

It's coming round again
Gonna get my coat after one more last one
The bell is ringing time
Do it all again yeah, tomorrow night
I said...

Hey, you, me
Living like a barfly
Hey, you, me
Living like a barfly

It's coming round again
Gonna get my coat after one more last one
The bell is ringing time
Do it all again yeah, tomorrow night
I said...

Hey, you, me
Living like a barfly
Hey, you, me
Living like a barfly
Hey, you, me
Living like a barfly
Hey, you, me
Living like a barfly does

13. Fat Chance

The same old tricks still making you, making you sick
A head in bits from all this shit
Who said we're friends just let's pretend we're dead

So you tried hitching a ride, all you got was a kick in the face
Turned on, dropped out of the human race
Too much too soon, bittersweet the aftertaste

Look at all the things a mind can do to you
There's two sides to every gun and nothing left to lose

Where's the unity?
Cracking up in front of me
Where's the unity?
You've become your own obsession

The same old trap still yak yak yak yak
Another beer got the fear and it's killed the laughs
Who said we're friends just let's pretend we're dead

So we tried hitching a ride, all we got was a kick in the face
Goty up, got back on the human race
And who said we're dead take a look, the future stinks

Look at all the things a mind can do to you
There's two sides to every gun and nothing left to lose

Where's the unity?
Cracking up in front of me
Where's the unity?
You've become your own obsession

Where's the unity?
Rock 'n' roll conspiracy
Fuck the unity
You've become your own obsession

Now the lights go down
'Cos the music's over and the world looks sober and round

Watch the lights go down
Hey's it never over, just a bit hungover
We're sound

14. Sucker Brainstorm

[Japanese Bonus Track]

[R. Warwick / N. Parsons]

Hanging on my bones
With the sad eyed dogs of summer
Sometimes it's good to be the king
Sometimes it's better to be good at nothing
But I don't understand
You got something I had
And the joys of almost living
Are razors for Entertainment

[Pre chorus]
What you gonna say about it
What you gonna do about it
'Cos you know that you can't pretend
When you're living on the edge of the end

[Chorus]
You've gotta live the life you're talking about
Star natal sucker
It's time to get on up and sort it out

It's like playing 20 questions
When you know all the answers yourself
Repaying favours with interest
Well I hear that it pays well
But I don't understand
Where've you have been all your life
Making a killing out of retro
So just remember who your friends were

[Pre chorus]
What you gonna say about it
What you gonna do about it
'Cos you know that you can't pretend
When you're living on the edge of the end

[Chorus]
You've gotta live the life you're talking about
Star natal sucker
It's time to get on up and sort it out
