MENACE TO SOBRIETY

INTRO

GOD
written by Ugly Kid Joe

God, please push me in the right direction
God, I'm hoping that you'll understand
God, I'm trying to make amends now
God, I'm asking for your guiding hand
Everybody's got their own opinion
Everybody says what's on their mind
Everybody's got their own tradition
Everybody pray to the man
God, I'm reading in your holy books now
God, I'm singing and I'm not afraid
God, I'm looking for the only way out now
God, I'm hoping that I can be saved
Everybody's got their own religion
You won't say what's on your mind
Some won't hear why others listen
Everybody pray to the man
Why don't you ever answer questions
Now my faith is slipping away
I'm looking in a different direction
Believing is the only way
Everybody's got their own tradition
(Everybody's got their own religion)
Everybody's got their own salvation
(Everybody's got their own submission)
Everybody's got their own religion
(Everybody's got their own tradition)
Everybody pray to the man

TOMORROW'S WORLD
written by Ugly Kid Joe

You don't even know me
You don't even care
I've got something for you
You must best beware
Don't say that it's over
I'm still a part of you
Our love is eternal
Hope in tomorrow's world
Your life's getting closer
Will you make the grade
Slowly going nowhere
Will you die afraid?
Everybody dies

CLOVER
written by Ugly Kid Joe

I'm protected by the leaves of the four leaf clover
And I refuse to die for you
And I was tempted by the apple made me stronger
And I spit it up on you
And I'm here to free you
And I'm here to free you
I'm infected by the lies that made me colder
And I, I put my trust for you
Time has passed me by, my soul is getting stronger
And I, I never lie for you
And I'm here to free you
And I'm here to free you
I'm protected by the leaves of a four leaf clover
And I, I never lie for you
And I expect to die, my life will live much longer
And I, I never lie for you
And I'm here to free you
And I'm here to free you

C.U.S.T.
written by Ugly Kid Joe

I'm Frank Sinatra in a rock 'n roll band
I'm a hevayweight demon with a heavyweight plan
I'm Uncle Sam with a joint in my mouth
And my V8's floored when I headed down south
This ain't hell, sure ain't heaven
Pull on over to the Seven Eleven
Stop Rich now, Pontiac here
Big blue love Budweiser beer
Can't you see them
Can't you see them
GI Joe I'm Stretch Armstrong
Every blade of grass I'm the water in the bong
I'm aqua man I'm the devil with a grin
Ambidextrous now 'cause I use both limbs
East Palo Alto, age 26
Full love circle not one love missed
A1 liquor, Berone's too
Crown Royal, No. 502
Can't you see them
Can't you see them
August 27th on a calendar scale
And on this day I went to jail
The blue man on my trip and on my ride
See I gotta go and will I survive
I'm the man and I do and I don't
I'm the man and I will and I won't
I'm the man and I could not lie
Why most should live now some should die

MILKMAN'S SON
written by Ugly Kid Joe

Let the burning bridges tumble down
Let the water come and flood the ground
Burn a hole into this auburn sky
I only wanna be walking by your side
When I see tomorrow I see you there
When I look around I'll see you everywhere
Your face is etched into my mind
When it's all said and done
I'm feeling like the milkman's son
Let your darker spirits fly away
Come again but you won't come today
Spend the last of now my worthless dime
I only wanna be walking by your side
I'm feeling like the milkman's son
Said I'm feeling like the milkman

SUCKERPATH
written by Ugly Kid Joe

I've got the hair
I've got the teeth
I've got the eyes
Well Peggy, take a look outside the window
I've got the car
I'm the lead singer
I'm the man
She, she comes to me and set me free
That makes me feel good
She, she's New York grown I'm all alone
She makes me feel good
Never going down a suckerpath baby
She, she makes me real has sex appeal
That makes me feel good
She, she fills my soul, it makes me whole
That makes me feel good
Never going down a suckerpath baby
Now all day as you're calling me lazy
Never going down the suckerpath baby
Never go down never go down
She treats me like a foolish child
And laughing all the while
Makes me wanna be alive
She sees me in a different light
And knows I'll be alright
Makes me wanna be alive
All the things I could have said
Some days now I wish I'm dead
A foolish child an unsong dream
I think you know just what I mean
Never going down a suckerpath baby
Come on come on
You don't want to ride me I don't even care
You don't even move my style now
I don't even care now

CLOUDY SKIES
written by Ugly Kid Joe

Well, they keep on taking my heart
And they keep on taking my soul
They keep taking an inch when I give them a mile
And now it seems it's been a while since anyone smiled
They don't know me
They don't know me
But my name is on the highway sign, never look behind
All those troubles are gone, nothing left but to run
So meet me down and don't be shy
A place where we can hide
There ain't nothing to fear
There ain't no one back here
But you and I and these cloudy skies
So we turn to leave our home
And see the faces we've outgrown
Through the years we've kept our backs to the wind
So long, farewell, goodbye my friend

JESUS RODE A HARLEY
written by Ugly Kid Joe

My superstars were laced up tight
And all the sinners were gathered in white
The pearly gates were opened up wide
And the Lord wants to see me with his big red eyes
So I stepped on to the clouds
The holy father was getting down
And he ordered a round of drinks
He said I got a little story tell me what you think
Moses used to sniff the lines
Noah used to rock the boat sometimes
Mary used to get undone
Jesus rode a Harley Davidson
All the angels gathered around
Leather boots and lace nightgowns
And one started to kiss my feet
She said the Lord's got a red light on every street
My superstars were laced up tight
And all the sinners were gathered in white
The pearly gates were opened up wide
And the Lord must have seen me with his big red eyes

10/10
written by Ugly Kid Joe

Hey, do you finally see it
We, we are there
They, refuse to believe it
Me, I don't care
Ten outta ten die
Free, we'll try to escape it
See, it ain't fair
We, we'll try to achieve it
Me, I don't care
Ten outta ten die
Let me sleep, let me sleep
See me struggling
Ho old on to my soul
Falling faster and don't know which way that I'll go
Ten outta ten die

V.I.P.
written by Ugly Kid Joe

Shut up, talking out your ass
With your fake-ass grin and your backstage pass
Front row at every single show
But your heart's in the wrong place
It's in the rat race
I don't know what you're trying to prove
Always fucking at my band
When we're laying down a fat groove
I call it jealously
Macho insecurity
Why are you always playing me
Stay the fuck away from me
I'm talking to you V.I.P.
I'm talking to you
I know the power you possess
Playing corporatel rock for the all access
Big wig too shallow to see
That your heart's in the wrong place
You can't follow me
I don't know why you're kissing my ass
Then as soon as I turn my back you start stabbin'
I'm reality, UKJ is a part of me
I'm the one they came to see
Stay the fuck away from me
I'm talking to you V.I.P.

OOMPA
written by Ugly Kid Joe

In the beginning...
For all man sins...
Oompa doompa doopady doo
I've got another riddle for you
When you lie in your bed
We'll come in, kill you dead
Oompa doompa doopady doo
I've got another coming for me
If you lie, if you cheat
You'll lie dead, watch your fate
The power of metal, never forget

CANDLE SONG
written by Ugly Kid Joe

Pray by the candle and I hope to see light
Wait for the moment but it's never right
So now I'm sailing on the oceans so wide
I'm all alone, me and my daydreams and I
Pray by the candle and I hope to see light
Wait for the moment but it's never right
So I'm the captain my ship's got a hole in the side
I'm all alone, me and my daydreams and I
Can you see me walking through the trees
Can you hear me laughing in the breeze
Can you see me walking through the trees
Can you hear me laughing in the breeze
Pray by the candle and I hope to see light
Wait for the moment but it's never right
Across the water I watch my ship wave goodbye
I'm all alone me and my daydreams and I

SLOWER THAN NOWHERE
written by Whitfield Crane and Tom Fletcher

Slower than nowhere
Playing Hide and Seek
Walking from room to room
Will you follow me
Will you challenge me
My destiny will follow me
And set me free
And set me free
Slower than nowhere
Cold in the mid-west
Don't take away my shine
Asking me something
Giving me nothing
That's okay, take your time
Prelude to madness
Certain circles hold
Fall to the west side, I'll take my own
Come on now, come on now
Down to my luck and
Speaking of nothing
Feeling the ground move under me
Do you feel the same
Do you feel the same
Slower than nowhere
I feel the ground move under me
Slower than nowhere
Prelude to madness
Certain circles hold
Fall to the wayside, I'll take my own
Come on now
