I've had seven children I don't remember their names I've had a lot of surgery I don't want no brain If this is all this is all there is That's not really so bad But if this is all i am I will become a building I want to swallow a plane I will become these railroad tracks I will derail every last one of these trains Seven children that I wish I could remember

Dirty Cops 01:40
I hope my heart turns up If it hasn't turned to dust I threw it down a slip and slide Right before we had to run and hide from the cops I was much smaller then My voice was higher when I tried to read out out loud My mother was so proud of phonics You keep saying it'll be better Once we get together but It's never better than when we're apart Let's stay away from each other forever
3.
I am polite to the priest When I am down on my knees You say it's not as bad as I think "If you can't quit your bleeding hold it over the sink" I want to fight or fuck I want to fuck the police Never did no good for nobody I know They never brought no peace If they want a piece of me I will be right where they want me If I can't quite my bleeding then I will be over the sink It's not as bad as I made it out to be If only I could see what's in front of me
4.
A rat dog a cat dog A two faced bastard god The other day he betrayed me I just sat and I said nothing Underneath all of this brick There's a map leading to this prick I am high on aluminum I feel safe and now I also feel dumb I'm a bad person and all I do are bad things Anyone hurts if you need a reason I'm a good one to blame Up there in those trees there\s a man counting his babies Wouldn't want one to go missing That'd be his death almost no definitely
5.
We skip breakfast We skip lunch We can go just hungry enough Until dinner and everything changes We stuff our fat fucking faces Old addictions have stuck their hands through Through me and right back into you I've made a whole lot of new friends I'm sad to say they're mostly pretend Old addictions have stuck their hands through Through the soil in front of your grave I know nows not the best time to try and be brave But you should be saved and I should behave
6.
I am twenty twenty I am bat blind I know there's probably plenty I know that'll I never find I turned twenty one I still cannot see no thing I'm sure they're probably hurting But I feel no pain But if I know my baseball cards I guarantee that he hits real hard My favorite rock in my favorite front yard Turned out to be my favorite stool in my favorite bar Shit's not the same as it was
7.
Every trash can I walk by I try to throw my rubbish in it But there's a man standing in it And he's digging for bottles Every track that I walk down There's always bums sleeping on them Say they're waiting for the train to come And they aren't budging One question What're you sipping on?
8.
Talk amongst yourselves as you were All the shit you say that comes out of your mouth I never heard one word of it You made a voodoo doll of me It really worked and my god it still hurts My neck hasn't been the same It doesn't turn left nowadays I cannot see what's in front of me Which one of us is really wretched? You shoved her down until she died and I I just waited till I really needed to breathe I just waited and I waited
9.
Dead Doctors 02:57
To get butterflies inside You've got to swallow them first "When can I see her?" What I said to that god forsaken nurse I'm standing in the hall I'm staring at the wall I'm clutching and clinging on to her (purse) Dead as dead can be The doctor told me I can't believe and I won't believe him Until I see your dead body Lying in the grave lying in the dirt I dug for you I need a drink or more time to think Inhale exhale One thing that you always told me Was exactly how you would die Since that's not how it happen then I guess that means you lied That's bollocks I found it My god he showed it Now I'm on my out My god showed me this way out
10.
Aunt 03:33
My daddy he don't love me For who I love Moved into a motel Right by that old emerson Moved into my brother's home He's got a lovely wife he's got two sons Said I could babysit his kids If I try to find my own money I want my own money Not no welfare Not no goddamn charity Checked into his room Put his key to the door Put a gun to his head His body hit the floor Nothing was said Nobody thought nothing at all You all kept it shut Trying not to spoil it for me You wouldn't make this kind of shit up You wouldn't do that to me Things are looking up I'm in a new building My heats included I can really call it my own I met a new woman But she's married At least I met a new woman Her man won't have it He wants his children Now he wants to sue me too At the hearing he Points it at the judge and the jury His lawyer and my lawyer too Points it at his wife and kids And every last one of you Looks me into my eyes "You're going to live with this until the day you die"
