I had visions, I was in them:
I was looking into the mirror.
C5
D5 D A
To see a little bit clearer
the rottiness and evil in me.
Fingertips have memories - I
can't forget the curves of your body.
And when I feel a bit naughty,
I run it up the flagpole and see
Who salutes, but no one ever
does.
CHORUS:

Ah----- I'm not sick, but I'm
not well and IÕm so hot 'cause IÕm in Hell
Ah----- I'm not sick, but I'm
not well and itÕs a sin to live so well.
Been around the world and
found that only stupid people are breeding.
The cretins cloning and
feeding and I don't even own a TV.
Put me in the hospital for
nerves and they had to commit me.
You told them all I was crazy.
They cut off my legs; now, I'm
an amputee, God damn you!

I wanna publish 'zines and
rage against machines.

I wanna pierce my tongue. It doesn't hurt, it feels fine.

I like to turn off time. Kill my mind. Kill my mind...mind.
Paranoia, paranoia -
everybody's coming to get me.
Just say you never met me.
I'm running under the ground
with the moles, digging holes.
Hear the voices in my head; I
swear to God, it sounds like they're snoring.
But if you're bored, then
you're boring.
The agony and the irony,
they're killing me.
CHORUS: [then, spoken:]
1...2...3...4....!
