i am pissed off, aggravated, stomach tied into a knot. clinched teeth, clinched fists, the skin around it's turning white. i feel my temple burning and my vision's getting blurry. the headache in my heads a pain that's blinding.
the news today en flames my rage. bad news all day, i don't want to hear it.
wars here, wars there, the wars every-fucking-where. the bloodshed stains red and bodies pile in the street. the imagery you see on the television haunt me and cause me to grieve.
country versus country and brother versus brother, why can't we get along? religion against religion, your god versus theirs, who gives a shit?
look left, look right, it's always in your fucking sight. kill them, kill them, it doesn't matter anymore. the cross-hair's engaged, who's ever in your sights. blast them, blast them away!
i wanna open my eyes, watch the blood wash away. pray for a brand new day. if not soon then some day.

i took a look at myself through tired eyes and i didn't like what i saw. i didn't like the person i saw myself becoming. i didn't like it at all. i never agreed to agree to anything that you believe. i'll never take a page out of your book. your book is one i'll never read.
trust in me, i won't be you.
one more version of you is more than is needed when you're not needed at all. i realized before the time was too late that i was in need of a change. i cut the one thing in my life that was unwanted. i cut you repeatedly and less of you was left in me, and now you're gone.
a little bit of you is enough to last a lifetime and always rub someone the wrong way. like a stain you remain to leave a sour taste in everyone's mouth.

well my girlfriend left with my best friend and they stole my Chevrolet. they took my dog so i wrote this song. hooray for a shitty day. well she broke my heart, so i broke her jaw with a baseball bat to the face. yes i hate that bitch, i hate that cunt, and i hate this fucking place.
well the coppers came and they took my name and said "boy what a good job done." 'cause i skinned that prick, i cut off his dick, and i shoved it in his mouth. with a note that said "i give great head, come and get you some." then i sat back down and i wrote this song. hooray for a shitty day.
