American Caesar

Nervous you need a drink
Tired you need a lift
You feel on the brink
Maybe you need new tits

Vulnerable as a ship
But you re not on the sea
Can you talk to anyone here?
No, not really

And the crowd stays on your back
And the girls are all s0 stacked
And the stress it lines your face
And you realy need a place

Its just that social life
Its got you on the run
That goddamn social life
It's torture dressed as fun
It's just that social life
They got you seein things
That goddamn social life
And now you re chasin strings
That goddamn social life

God-awful art and clothes
Plenty of money, though
You guess it must be worth somethin
What that would be you don' t know
In your imagination
There's a face of love

Someone who will come along
Instead of comin on

Anp the forces ebb and flow
And the money goes and goes
And something makes you
Want to throw a brick
Through the window

It's iust that social life
It's got you on the run
That goddamn social life
It's torture dressed as fun
It's iust that social life
They got you chasin strings
That goddamn social life
And you are seeing things

He's got a great big hit he's in a limousine
When i see his face somethin' starts to freeze
He's got money for miles his girl comes out of vogue
When he acts like an ass he's treated like a rogue

I feel it comin' it's flushin' my face
I feel it comin' jealousy baby
I feel it comin' it's boilin my blood
I feel it comin' jealousy baby
I feel it comin' flushin' my face
I feel it comin' jealousy baby
I feel it comin' boilin' my blood
I feel it comin' jealousy baby
This isn 't for the first time in my life

She comes from top cheekbones she never worried hard
You could camp an army on her family's yard
When i look at blue blood i want to make it mud
And tear that difference down rock an' roll is how

I feel it comin' it's breakin' my neck
I feel it comin' jealousy baby
I feel it comin' boilin' my blood
I feel it comin' jealousy baby
I feel it comin' boilin my blood
I feel it comin' jealousy baby
I feel it comin breakin' my neck
I feel lr comin' jealousy baby
This isn 't for the first time in my life
I feel it comin' it's flushin' my face
I feel it comin' jealousy baby
I feel it comin' boilin my blood
I feel it comin' jealousy baby
I feel it comin' flushin' my face
I feel it comin' jealousy baby
I feel it comin' breakin' my neck
I feel it comin' jealousy baby
I feel it comin' heatin' my eyes
I feel it comin' jealousy baby
Jealousy baby

Plastic & concrete, baby
These are the facts of life
I 'm a nightmare child
Stuck on my own knife
I' m glad my mother loved me
I' m sick & paranoid
The hotel generater
Hums into the void
Of plastic & concrete

Plastic & concrete, baby
I gotta learn to slow down
Somethin new from chemistry
Is jackin my brain around
I have got the plastic
And i have got the stone
Out there in the suburbs
I learned to be alone
In plastic & concrete

Plastic & concrete sandwich
You 'd like to eat me, but
Later you 'll reiect me
I' m too much to bite off
The salad on my outside
Is made of suicide
The guy who squirts my mayonnaise
Is on a one-way ride
In plastic & concrete
Plastic & concrete

People of america
I bring you a great army
To preserve peace
In our empire
Throw them to the lions
Darling, let us go to the banouet hall...
There will be a great feast tonight!
Who are these christians?
What is this strange religion?

Throw them to the lions
Throw them to the lions
Who are these christians?
Turn the other cheek...
Ha ha ha ha ha
Two thumbs down
The christians are restless
Why not let them worship their god?
No one believes in the old gods
How tiresome...attending the rituals
Paying lip service to the portents
Burning incense at their shrine
No one believes in the old gods
Throw them to the lions
Throw them to the lions
Throw them to the lions
Hahahahahaha

Fast young girl wants to go
Body 's red mouth is whole
Got the worst in the world
But this won 't be hassle-free
Lovers kiss in the heat
Body crush basement suite
Mind my eyes behind my hair
Hide my face and look nowhere
Change addresses ditch that guy
Don 't pick up when he calls
Runaway everyday
Coffee beans and hideaways
They want these, they want those
First my nose then my toes
Presidents and super meaks
Litey dogs and love boutioues
Afternoons wakin up
Neighborhood slouch and stuff
Drifters too in a flow
Nowhere they got to go
Shave haired girl with a dog
Dressin cool not too new
I wanna talk i wanna know,
What she feels and what she knows
I m so fuckin alone
I m so fucking alone
O.k. o.k.this is me
O.k. o.k.this is me

Evening breeze river east
Music mix salsa speed
Metal rap lonely sax
Open jeep with the speakers back
Rock n roll band practicin'
Shakin those walls next to me
Everybody is in a dream
Of what they want and who they need
To feel all right to be alive
To wipe out words that they despise
From a thunder brain
That's quick to pain
And only once to live again
When that set up gets in the way
The dreamin brain will make a play
To wipe it all outta space
Press record and then erase
Cuz there's something here
They gotta face
Everyeody in this place
It's the same for everyone
They gotta figure out something
They gotta figure out themselves
They gotta figure on their own
They gotta figure out, ok ?
O.k. o.k. o.k. o.k.
I 'm so fuckin alone
I' m so fuckin alone
Oh no, being alone
I'm so fucking alone
O.k. o.k. so this is me
O.k. o.k. so this is me
This is me
O.k.
I' m not even sure what she wanted
I 'm not even sure what she wanted

All across the continents
Everywhere a soul is sent
A new mix of the races is takln
It's what hitler didn' t like
And it makes a pretty sight
Just look at what you see on your mtv

Out on the edges they' re mixin' the colors
Some they don' t like it but me i don' t mind
In every city they' re mixing the colors
Different shades for the whole countryside
If you leave the hate alone tonight
Music's gonna get you home tonight
If you leave the hate alone tonight
Music's gonna get you home tonight
Mixin', they 're mixin'

On the edges of the line
There's a different kind of kind
No one seems to claim for
The race war games
'cause you don t have to choose sides
It just crucifies your mind
There's a hundred million ways
To live your life for yourself
'
Out on the edges they re mixin' the colors
Some they don 't like it but me i don' t mind
In every city they 're mixin' the colors
Different shades for the whole countryside

I like the kids with the ways of their own
If you leave the hate alone tonight
Music's gonna get you home tonight
If you leave the hate alone tonight
Music's gonna get you home tonight
Mixin' the colors

Now a language that sounds new
Comes a-driftin' next to you
And the music that you hear ls changin' too
Cuz they 're mixin' the colors
Baby the colors

I found you lookin for the rainbow
You found me waitin for a chance
Now we got something good together
A life where we have joined our hands
And there ain 't nobody gonna break that
Our love
And there ain't noeody gonna break it
Our love
Our love
I didn' t have too much to offer
You didn 't have much to expect
A cold hotel room full of trouble
Beside a blinkin traffic light
On all night
And there ain' t nobody gonna break this
It' s our love
There ain' t nosody gonna take it
Not our love
Nobody's gonna take this
It 's our love
Love
I know the feeling of being outside
Alone and watchin all the fun
The crowd's together, laughin loudly
And long
But that type - they re never really strong
An 'there ain' t nobody gonna take it
An 'there ain' t nobody gonna take it
An 'there ain' t nobody gonna take it
There ain' t nobody who's gonna break it
It's our love

I got a secret you can live and learn
I got a secret you can live and learn
You don 't know me but i burn
You don 't know me but i burn
Deep in your gut you know
The right way out
Deep in your gut you know
Not like those guys who mess around
Not like thove guys who fake it, now
Perforation problems not all right
Hangin on a needle out of spite
Perforation problems no one home
Stumblin like a dirty slave
In anger
I got a worm down in my troubled soul
I got a worm down in my troubled soul
Now i 'm all right but there's still holes
Now i 'm all right but there's still holes
Everytime i think it was my last
Everytime i hoped it was my last
I watched my future become my past
I watched my future become my past
Perforation problems not all right
Hangin on a needle outta fright
Perforation problems no one home
Stumblin like a dirty slave
In anger
I still get angry when i look back
I still get angry when i look back
When i look ahead my bags are packed
Perforation problems not all right
Hangin on a needle out of fright
Perforation problems no one home
Stumblin like a dirty slave

Perforation problems not all right
Perforation problems every night
Perforation problems no one home
Stumblin like a dirty slave
Perforation problems
Fright
