Ode to 70s glam rock

THE SEX, DEATH, AND EYELINER PATROL

I am Divastation Superstar
A painted-up savior with a rebel soul
Come to lead my children to the promised land
We are the sex, death, and eyeliner patrol!!
 
My message is written in lipstick traces
A velvet goldmine of satanic majesty
Of Earthly delights and Heavenly sin
We make beauty out of travesty
 
You can see us through the glory-hole
A cats-eye view of glitter and flash
We all look simply fabulous
It's amazing how you can dress up trash!!
 
SO DRESS UP, DOLL UP, AND SPREAD THE GLAM
WAKE UP AND BAM!! SAY "THANK YOU, MA'AM"
ANOTHER SATISFIED CUSTOMER IN THE PORNO SALE
 OUT OF THE CLOSET AND BEYOND THE PALE!!


Sex Death and Eyeliner Patrol

LOSING THE INFORMATION WAR
 
I have lived an eternity
The knowledge of ages bestowed on me
But I cannot claim that I am wise
If I knew everything it would still all be lies!

I still have this feeling inside
And it’s eating away at me
A sentiment I can longer hide
Chipping away at my sanity

I have seen a lot of pain
But not a hell of a lot of gain
They tell me to learn from it
What I have learned is that it’s all shit!

I still have this feeling inside
And it’s eating away at me
A sentiment I can longer hide
Chipping away at my sanity
It’s an empty void - a hollow blank
But for a nothing it’s still nagging
That nothing’s for sure - it’s all disinformation
I don’t know anything

 One day their dirty secrets will be cried aloud in the streets
And the men who conspired to enslave us 
Will be trampled under marching feet
Nobody wants war yet still war happens
I think an explanation is due
I pray for the day we get answers
Until then I don’t have a clue
Cos’ I am losing the information war
Knowledge is more precious than gold
But the public at large is ignorant
Hooked on a lie to which they have been sold
 
The lies and the bullshit are such a bore
Just walk away and shut the door
Never look back and have no regrets
It’s all behind me now and yet. . . 


Losing the Information War

Jesus Saves


I have a message to the religious right
I was reading scripture the other night
You say you speak for Jesus but I don’t think that’s true
You do the opposite of everything he said to do
He said to love the people that you most hate
The whores and the poor and the sick and the lame
But he didn’t seem to like the ones you adore
The rich and the selfish who perpetuate war

Chorus:
You keep telling people what they shouldn’t do
And keep telling people that Jesus saves
But I think he would make an exception for you
In fact, I think he would spit on all of your graves

You keep saying that God hates fags
While I support my friends flying their rainbow flags
They were born that way – you say it’s clearly a choice
You clearly shouldn’t be allowed to have a voice
A woman who is free is awesome, but
You think a liberated woman is a slut
The thing about sluts is to themselves they’re true
You’re just mad none of them wanted to fuck YOU

Chorus

I don’t think you’ve ever read the Bible
I don’t think you’ve read Christ’s own words
You just make shit up to fit your prejudices
Everything you say is beyond absurd

I had a conversation the other day
With Jesus Christ and he had something to say
He said he had a message for all of you
He said “You’re going to Hell, and Fuck You, too!



Jesus Saves

This song is about rude, snobby, assholes in the punk and goth scene. There is a guitar riff I wanna use for the verses, but I lost the recording when a hard drive died. 

THE MEANIES (or What We Think of your So-Called "Underground" Scene)
 
What do you see when you look down on me
So elevated in your insecurities
It's amazing to me that while you think you're so cool
That I would never want to be like you
 
Cos' you are fashionably bored
And superficial
Star-fuckers all of you one-two-three
You're groupies in denial
And apathetic
Take the first "A" away and that is all I see
 
The mating call of your social clique
Is here is my boot, now get down and lick
Oh so beautiful and oh so full of shit
Your inner-ugliness makes me so fucking sick
 
You have strength in numbers but weakness in mind
Without your friends the only strength you will find
Is in giving a smile to everyone
Your popularity contest is so fucking dumb
 
Cos you are fashionably bored . . .
And your statement sucks
You only feel better when you're being mean
You are stupid and ugly and I hate you all
I will never be a part of your lame-ass scene!!

The Meanies

This song is about the theories of Wilhelm Reich, and about how we are all, from birth, conditioned to "armor" ourselves against the cruelty of the world, which has been passed down from generation to generation. It's probably the oldest song on this list:

THE EMOTIONAL PLAGUE (1995)
 
Born into this world of ours
This world which simply devours
The love we start with in the womb
All they teach you is consume
Give you a bris in 'God's interest'
And swap cold rubber with mommy's breast
Left all alone, hungry so long
Baby that's why I cry when you're gone
 
Chorus:
Cos' we’re in this trap,
And paranoid
Stuffed into character armoring
By God and Country
And money schemes
We start out nice but all turn out mean!
 
We lift our legs and piss and then put up fences
We're always on the defensive
Of our territories of land and lust
With fangs bared - no one we can trust
We're full of fear of everyone
Even I now want a gun
Enemies who should be a tribe
Are all stressed on the hate to which they subscribe
 
Cos' we’re in this trap . . .
 
Everyone who tries to escape the trap
Is called a criminal and takes a rap
A blame that should be put on those
Who point their fingers and put their nose
Where it just does not belong
It is authority all along
That corrupts our baby boys and girls
Who grow up to make worse this fucked-up world
And all of us have this mental clap
It is a social disease - inherited mishap
Caught from mom and dad who were used and worn
By the trap already when we were born

This song is inspired by the writings of Wilhelm Reich and dedicated to his memory. 




The Emotional Plague

I wrote the guitar for the verses and breakdown, and that is how I would like it played. But the chorus is open for new ideas. 

HUMANS MUST DIE!!
 
I am angry, I'll tell you why
That I feel humans must die
They're not like me at all, no way!
They force me to work when I would rather play
 
If they say "murder is business" then
I say murder all the businessmen
Your "business" don't mean shit to me
If it interferes with my liberty
 
I'm hoping that the UFOs
Will come and blow their fiery nose
Upon you boring, thieving jerks
I hope a coup d'état is in the works
 
I am angry, I am  cruel
I'll run you down, hate is my fuel
Under my wheels-squashed in the road
An evil, capitalist toad
I am angry I can be cruel
I'll run you down hate is my fuel
And I say justice demands
We find the thieves and cut off their hands!!


Humans Must Die!

This song playfully opens with the riff from Judas Priest's "Breaking the Law" because it is my anarchist anthem. No laws, no gods, no masters. Some guitar is midi, some is real from a guy who moved onto other things. All can be changed. 

WE CANNOT OBEY

And we will never fit in
We all exist in a world apart
From the construct that has been imposed
We don't fit in, we're way too smart
To buy the product and believe the lie
And conform to it with a shrug like the rest
Our virtue is our disobedience
And we are riding a swelling crest!!

I AM AN OUTLAW
I HAVE NO FEAR
I HAVE NO GUILT
AND SO IT'S CLEAR
WHY I LIVE MY LIFE THIS WAY
IT'S CUZ' I JUST CANNOT OBEY!!

Instead of 9 to 5, of mortgages
We live for our rock and roll
Instead of Miss Manners and kissing ass
We decided NOT to sell our souls
Into suburban slavery
And religious guilt and boredom
We decided not to waste our lives
On TV, church, and corporate whoredom

I AM AN OUTLAW
I HAVE NO FEAR
I DEFY THE STATE
AND SO IT'S CLEAR
WHY I LIVE MY LIFE THIS WAY
IT'S CUZ' I JUST CANNOT OBEY!!


We are the antithesis
Of what most people think and do
We don't obey the laws and customs
And as you slept, our numbers grew
And we're recruiting all your children
And getting them to join our side
Because they're sick of all your lies
And the truths you tried to hide!


We Cannot Obey

The line in this song "I WORSHIP ME (AND SO SHOULD YOU!)" is to be sung by all the band members. So that the message isn't that you should worship the singer of the band, but that you should worship yourself.

THE SELF-FULFILLING PROPHET (2001)

I don't worship the devil
That makes less sense than Christianity
That's like saying I believe the bible
And admit to being on the losing side
 
I worship me!! (And so should you!!)
I've got the love of Jesus in my cock!!
I worship me!! (And so should you!!)
I am the way I am the rock!!
 
I don't worship the woo woo
The occult or spirits or astrology
You hocus-pocus bitches claim to be witches
Then charge a sigil and fix your fucked-up lives
You can practice all the ‘magick’ you want
But you will never put a spell on me
 
Chorus
 
I don't worship the slide rule
The beakers or computers or microscopes
Your infallible science and calculations
Could someday prove to be completely wrong
Cuz' "no one can know
And no authority say
What the knowledge of tomorrow will be" - Wilhelm Reich




The Self Fulfilling Prophet

This is a pretty old recording. The beginning keyboard is an idea of a guitar riff based on the introduction to "Armed & Dangerous" by the metal band Anthrax. The song is about love as a revolutionary force

) THIS MOMENT
 
The look in your eyes in driving me crazy
I want to fuck you up a wall
I want to fuck you up
I want to fuck you up
Right up into heaven
It's here in my arms
And I can't believe that you are here
I can't believe that I am here
I'm ready for everything to explode
In your face
And in your mouth
And in your eyes
And in your jeweled treasure trove
 
And I'm having so much fun today!
Rebelling against your system in the perfect way!
By having so much fun today!
Nothing is getting me down
Cuz I'm getting it up!!
Right!!
 
You are my altar I am on my knees
But then so are you Do with me as you please
For I will reciprocate and we will make love
And this terrible world will disappear
In this one moment
In this one moment
 
This moment in time is all that matters
For nothing feels as good as this one moment
And you can argue that anything else means more
But nothing on Earth is quite like this
And I'm having so much fun today!
Rebelling against your system in the perfect way:
By making love
Because to love is the most revolutionary act of all!! 


This Moment

Rock anthem/bragging song.

THE DRUG
 
We've got something runnin' through our veins
It's a feeling that we're compelled to share
If you feel it, you'll never be quite the same
Take it into your mind & body if you dare
 
This is the drug!!
It is all-consuming
The all-time high!!
This is the drug!!
And without it,
We would probably die!!
 
We will get you high with our cynicism
Chopped out in lines of lyricism
And you'll feel like you've been hit by a car
When you hear the roar of the guitar
 
I've got an addictive personality
Hooked on something raw and hard
I'm so addicted to it that
So deep, my brain, my soul are scarred
And we are the pushers of the drug
We want you to be hooked . . . jarred
And left with a simple question which is:
How is it that we ROCK SO HARD?
 
So you can smoke all the dope and crack you want
Shoot your heroin, coke, and speed
But my high is a call to a revolution
Cos' rock and roll is really all I need!!






The Drug

This account is for prospective guitar players only to see if they want to join me in taking over the world with rock and roll and magick
