Whiskey, you’re the devil You’re leading me astray Over hills and mountains To Kaliforniyay You’re sweeter, you’re stronger, You’re spunkier than tae Oh, whiskey, you’re the devil drunk or sober
2.
Judas And Me 00:46
Murder for silver Silver for murder I killed a Man Betrayal with a kiss I killed a Man
3.
Poison 01:24
Poison Looks like another self-inflicted death sentence What a way to end your existence Drowning yourself most willingly Killing yourself pathetically Poison Keep telling yourself that you are letting loose Drowning your problems with that bottle of booze
4.
The Blob 02:42
I’m the blob A formless glob! An unstable molecular mass Of an element in its liquid state I am the blob! Free flowing am I With no control My path is uncertain Victim to the gravitational pull I am the blob! I’m sick of this unforgiving state that I am in I’m ready to be formed, molded by Your grace Folded, solidified by Your Hands of love!

Ocean swells begin to rise Spikes appear against the sky Radars beep and sirens wail The thing coming dwarfs a whale As tall as a skyscraper, it rises from the sea Everyone on the beach is trying to flee Hundreds perish with each giant step Godzilla’s back to maintain his rep Fuelled with a fire to kill at will You know what will happen with his destructive skill He can take you out with one fiery breath And send you to your final rest Oh Tokyo… Tokyo’s going down Buildings fall to the ground Screams are heard all around People run like swarms of ants Debris falls into torrents They can only get out of the way No amount of soldiers could save the day No weapons can pierce his armor They fight and die to save their honor Little did they know they only needed to submit Nothing would have happened if they’d just accept Him But they didn’t before and are paying for it now So watch as their world comes crumbling down Oh Tokyo… Tokyo’s going down ‘Cause Tokyo is going down, down, down to the ground…

Even Though 01:28
With the blood that I have bled I will paint the white roses red And with the stitches from my shattered dreams I will hang myself down by the stream And watch those willows as they weep for me As my body swings in the breeze As my body swings in the breeze Even though you kicked me when I was down Even though you lent a hand to help me drown Even though there’s still a knife in my back From your swift and silent attack But deep within my broken heart Which you so kindly ripped apart I find a feeling that’s not new The fact that I still love you I love you! Even though with your hands you crushed my heart Even though you tore my emotions apart Even though my blood runs down the drain To the sound of pouring rain I love you…

Life Sucks 03:39
I need to get away! I am wasting away! My life is being drained! I can’t take the pain! I am begging You, please! As I cry on my knees Please take away this pain As my hope begins to drain My boss is a joke He is strung out on coke I am barely getting by And he just wants to get high He is a friend of mine And I am watching him die Emotions come in like a flood I want to cut my throat and spill my blood I offered you my heart You took it and tore it apart Sure we’ll still be friends But after the scars mend Everything will return to normal We’ll keep things good and formal I will hide my pain inside For a piece of my heart just died Life sucks… I must choke back the sorrow So I can have a fresh face tomorrow How much longer can I last? Before you see through my mask? The pain swells up inside (There is no place I can hide) Overwhelming frustration I sink into depression The load I bear is too heavy The pain is piercing and grows steady I have nothing left to give I barely have the strength to live I masked my pain so well You had no idea I was living in hell I’ve never been cut this deep before I don’t think I can take much more Headaches, stomachaches, heartaches How much more do I have to take? Will You not rescue me? I am drowning in this bitter sea Wave after wave has knocked me ‘round I grow weak and soon I’ll drown Broken and bruised I crawl to You Watch my heart for it’s black and blue Weeping, I call Your Name Only You can ease my pain Life sucks… I can’t take more suffering I feel like I am slowly dying Failure after failure Torture, torture, torture… Will anything go right? I don’t have the strength to fight Failure after failure Torture, torture, torture… Life sucks…

Reuben: In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus, Oans, zwoa, g'suffa! Da läuft so manches Fäßchen aus Oans, zwoa, g'suffa! Da hat schon mancher dumme Mann, Oans, zwoa, g'suffa! Gezeigt, was er so vertragen kann. Oans, zwoa, g'suffa! Chad: In Munich is the Hofbräuhaus, One, two, guzzle! Where the kegs never run out. One, two, guzzle!
