WAKE ME UP Wake me up baby, wake me up I don't wanna sleep no more Wake me up baby, hit me in the chest I don't wanna sleep no more I was sleeping for years With the same dream in my head With no dream in my head Wake me up baby, wake me up I don't wanna sleep no more Throw me in the icy water, burn my head with gasoline Kick my ass, kick my ass Put dynamite in my ears and acid in my eyes I wanna be hurt I wanna be hurt Wake me up baby, wake me up I don't wanna sleep no more I'm so happy, to be dead like you We're happy because we're dead Wake me up baby, wake me up, I don't wanna sleep no more Pull my hair, shake my head, kick my ass Wake me up Wake me up Throw me in the icy water Burn my head with gasoline Kick my ass, kick my ass Put dynamite in my ears and acid in my eyes I want to be hurt I want to be hurt Break my legs with a heavy bar Tie me on the subway tracks Throw me from the CN Tower Cut me into pieces, cut me into pieces Cut me into pieces, cut me into pieces Wake me up Wake me up Wake me up Suck my cock (Joe Virus)

HOW CAN YOU KILL ME, I'M ALREADY DEAD How can you kill me, I'm already dead You can't kill me, I'm already dead My parents are rich because they worked hard They got a huge house Swimming pool in the backyard Their marriage was screwed up It took them twenty years to break up My father worked hard 12 hours a day He made tons of money to feel safe My mother wanted me to be A human being Instead she raised a fuckin machine How can you kill me I'm already dead You can't kill me I'm already dead You fried my brain You stab me bad Television's screaming in my head I'm fucked lip So is my band How can you kill me, I'm already dead Saluto dead people of America You died a long time ago You're all dead inside Something blew up your minds It's strange dead people can breathe Go to school and eat Working just for money is a sin You're dying of every day's routine How can you kill me... I don't have any idea what to say, please tell me what to say I really want to say something, forgive me if I say nothing DEAD, DEAD, DEAD, DEAD, DEAD (Joe Virus)

PAINTED BRAIN Painted brain is all insane Painted brain is all insane In tat goofy yellow tee I hide my cold love proudly. If I don't see you today I'll cut my head away What I want I don't know I've lost my mind a long time ago I'm screaming on full blast Imagining you're laying Inside I'm horny I'll explode Loneliness is hard to hide Hard to hide You gotta fight it man Painted brain is all insane Painted brain is all insane In your room I'll pour you a glass You'll unleash your Precious lust Even though live in hell Sometimes I feel almost well In the woods Beneath the tree I hide my cold love proudly I'm screaming on full blast... Painted brain is all insane Loneliness just paints my brain Blue, green, yellow, white, Red, infrared, X-rays, radio waves Are in my fucking head Paint my fucking head I'm fucking lonely Paint me, paint me Blue, green, yellow, white Red, infrared, x-rays, radio waves Gamma radiation is in my head Paint my head, I'm fucking lonely Blue, green, yellcw, white Paint me Paint me (Joe Virus)

COLD TURKEY MADNESS My life has been so good, I'm happy alone in my dirty room No girls, no drugs, no sex, I guess my dick has so much fun My body has so much fun and I got such a good life I smell like fish and sweat like a pig Can you tell I'm going down Hot cold hot cold hot cold hot cold Cold turkey madness I'll never, never, never, never get to my head Cold turkey madness Hot cold hot cold dead in my bed Cold turkey madness God, what have I done to you Cold turkey madness When walls go down, the hell feels so good I need to laugh, doctor said that's good for you Prescription laughs, two grams for me and you Good sex, what's that I come with needle in my arm I'll marry my cat We sleep together on any weather Hot-cold... My woman has a house And kidneys And lips I need her tits Pink, hard, full of milk She gives me pain And pain's my food When walls go down Hell feels so good (Joe Virus)

I STAYED What is real? I don't get it Is there truth? I don't have it My decision—l can't make it My emotionLl just fake it But I stayed And I got it But I stayed And I got it Everybody is looking for the same They are leaving in order to get it They said you're stuck if you stay So I had to go and fucking Get it But I stayed... Brain is illusion Bails are fruth Brain's not sure Balls will do But I stayed And I got it I stayed I got it Brain calculates and compromises Balls sing a song And kick ass (Joe Virus)
