Goodbye lovers
goodbye friends
the party's over
I've reached the end

the gun was loaded
it's plain to see
the gun was loaded
now everybody likes me

goodbye teachers
goodbye school
I was never a rich kid
I was never cool

You never looked into my heart
you only judged me from outside
and now it's time for me to part, and I will start
I'll break your heart, but just remember - you broke mine

The Gun Was Loaded

I tell her everything is okay and it's good that she believes me
 cause if she ever leaves I don't know but I could die
and when she graduates I make sure I tell her I am happy for her
cause I adore and she's dear to heart of mine

heart of mine

and I think she be fine - she is dear to heart of mine
and I think she be hot - and I really like her a lot

whenever she's on fire I'm screaming like a baby but I know it's okay
cause if I stopped her now she'd never talk to me again
whenever she's all chubby I get quiet and wish the nasty day away
because a nasty day will never ask you to be her friend

be her friend

Dear To Heart of Mine

knuckles shakin with your earbuds to the door
mom and daddy never come round here no more
all they got is each other's jobs
fat wallets but their kids are slobs
there's a world outside but they don't know what  it's for

it's the 21st century
and the world is dead to me
I'm running from the 21st century

feel the shiver as they plug you in the grid
never mind how they got you they just did
feed you feelings while you buy their toys
variations on the info noise
but you can't fight back cause you're a permanent kid

keep it up little number
getting dumber and dumber
people starve while we slumber
but that's okay cause the world's goin' under

21st Century

when the sheep looked away, all the wolves they came to stay for a few
now every time you turn around they put someone in the ground but not you
but when everybody buys when the liars tell a lie, you're complicit if you can't tell the truth
so I'm here to tell you straight, you can always be a slave, but I'll tell you what you really oughtta do

knock it down

you are corporation-owned but they gave a new phone, so it's all happenin
you keep on feeding real good and you'd diet if you could, but it's so fattenin'
you gotta finance that new car and then make your kid a star, and when he grows up he'll be just like you
just another parasite, on a world losing light, and now the third world is coming for you

knock it down

they got armies, you got malls
they got lies to set you free
I'll keep banging on the walls
they'll take away my life but they won't take me

Knock It Down

they say I'm happy / they say you're happy too
i'm just a stranger / in my own living room
I got a telephone / police are listenin in
and every morning / they do it all again
I want a red pill / to make me work all night
I want a blue pill / to make me sleep alright
I want some cognac / to make me feel like a man
I want a N-O RTH KOR EAN  
girlfriend.  I want a North Korean girlfriend.  I want a North Korean girlfriend

she'd watch my tv / she'd never go outside
she'd never talk back / she'd never hurt my pride
she'd make me squid steak / in my new microwave
and she will buy stuff / with all the money that we save
and we will live right / and there will be no war
and we will keep quiet / when someone's at the door
won't understand her / but that will be okay
cause she's a godless heartless communist pinko anyway
hey hey hey, my North Korean girlfriend

she'll fly to Hollywood / say she is meeting a friend
defect to London / I'll never see her again
she might be happy / but then I'll never know
maybe I'll see her / on some reality show
and she'll be stick thin / and have a silicon face
she'll be a film star / one more American disgrace
she'll be a stranger / in my own living room
goodbye my N-O RTH KOR EAN   girlfriend
goodbye my North Korean girlfriend

North Korean Girlfriend

from Pendelton
to Air Force One
from the alleyways of Baghdad
to the fields of Afghanistan

this is your rifle
shoot it at the badguys
we don't know who they are
where did my leg go

from the tanks in Tel Aviv
to the Palestine wall
all the kids in Arabia
they're all answering the call

this is your rifle
shoot it at the bad guys
we don't know who they are
where did my leg go
die for your country, bury all your enemies
hang your medals on the wall
where did my leg go

And now got no boots
and now I can't hold my gun
I tell the doctor I'm a free man American - I won't kill anyone
what will the general think?  
what will the President say?
throw me on the front lines, amputate my innocence
reenlist me dock my pay

this is your rifle
shoot it at the bad guys
we don't know who they are
where did my leg go
