Mr. Corn, Mr. Corn, Mr. Corn
is my friend
Mr. Corn, Mr. Corn
They said that he is the best
but, I had to arrest my suspicion
He's always gone fishin'
or waxing his bikini hair
Well, I don't care if he's kissin'
Janet Reno
In an Italian restaurant
with a little bit of candlelight
and a little bit of vino
and a guy named Pedro
serving 'em ziti
yeah, baby
'Mr. Corn, Mr. Corn, Mr. Corn
is my friend
Mr. Corn, Mr. Corn
Ewe...Mr. Corn
Goes something like this
do-do-do do-do-do
I understand sir
but, I'm working for you
do you not understand English
I'll have that thing for you very soon
Why does your wife have to talk to me?
Look, Mrs. Zimmerman
Can I call you Michelle?
Look, look Michelle
Calm down, okay?

She moved out
And took the couch
I apid a thousand bucks to get out
Left me, for a skinhead
Now, she’s the one who pouts
I guess it’s back to Pittsburgh
With your cat
Go get fat
Smoke two packs a day
Nothing else to say
She’s the girl that broke my heart
Well, this one scratched my car
She played the part of Ramses
From the start
I should have seen it coming
Bumming money from my Visa card
She gets me hard as nails
But, her nine inch friend
Drove me to the end
I tried to bend
But, I fell apart
She’s the girl that broke my heart
My girlfriends are all the same
I guess there’s no one else to blame
I let her get a job at K-Mart
She loved me from the start
She said I could
Put her in my family tree
She’s for me, but
She’s the girl that broke my heart

Big fat slob
02:26
|
|||
I’m large
Big and fat and living
I like to fuck with you all day
I’m big and fat
I go to bars
And I eat buffets
I like to eat
And I like to sit around
And talk about doing sit-ups
And push-ups
Fuck that, man
I’m a big fat slob
Take it, Fatboy
I’m big and fat
I’ll eat your mom
I’m big and fat
So what?
I’m big and fat
Yeah, I like to be this way
I’m big and fat
I’d sit on your face
If I had the chance
That’s not a very nice thing to say?
I’ll eat everything in sight, baby
And that includes your mom
That includes everything, okay?
Look, I’ll stop by with a pizza later
Maybe you can bring me some
Cream puffs
I like danishes
Whatever suits you, you know?
I can eat doughnuts… day, night
Whatever the fuck you wanna
Bring me, okay?
Look, you skinny little fucking bitch,
I don’t give a shit
I don’t give a shit
Feed me, sweetie honey

This guy on a bench
01:41
|
|||
I don’t have you
Yet, you still think I’m green
In between the sheets
You seem to dream of him
And the rest of those
Self-proclaimed no ones
Your only game
Is to put this to shame
I would give this my life
I have saved for your rainy day
All the way
To your burning stage
Age is no mask
Basking in the glory days
Life is short stories
Gazing at you

Mr Death

I have
Come for you
You
Do not understand
I am death
You are dead, now
You Americans
You like to talk
And say
“Lemme tell ya somethin’”
well, you’re dead now
so, shut up
How did you all die?
Simple
The salmon mousse
Stop that ridiculous noise
You English
Are all so fucking pompous
Lemme tell ya somethin’
You act sick, but
You are no match for me
I
Am
Death

Scream
02:20
|
|||
Man is born
From the womb
And spend the rest of his life
Trying to get back in
I’m in the shell
I fell down
Lifelike
I just might
I just might scream
The Earth is rolling
From my feet
The Earth is rolling
From my feet
Can I scream?
You see, screaming
Is not allowed

Sittin’ round
My day off
Nothing to do
So, I called a girl
That I used to know
I asked her
How she was
And she said that
She was lonely
And I told her
I understand
Don’t worry, baby
I have a plan
H.I.V.
She came by
Sat on the bed
Had cervesas
She went to my head
H.I.V.
She said goodbye, now
And she went home
So, I sit around
And wonder now…
H.I.V.

Electrofetus
Electrofetus
28.000 volts
through the umbilical cord
amniotically born 23, kids
spastic blood from the beer swill
feed the fetus
Electrofetus
Shitvision Studios
Jim, Jim, Carl, Jim, Carl!
Birdbrain
Prepare to have your ass
Firmly kicked
Electrofetus
C’mon Carl
You know you
Want to touch it
There it is
Electrofetus
I’m just a tiny little fetus
Where am I going to go?
Nobody loves me
I hope someone
Will take care of me?
Will you help me?
I hope you do
Because
I am Satan’s spawn
I am the Electrofetus

Superplastic
Big Brother factory
Air traffic static
On my car phone
Let me go
I’m old enough to know
Children need
The sensory addiction
Superplastic figurines
Superplastic enemy
Superplastic celibacy
Superplastic machines
Running in me
There a lookin’ moon
Hangin’ low
The tears of joy
The plastic toys
Are vomiting
Superplastic figurines
Superplastic enemy
Superplastic celibacy
Superplastic machines
Running in me
I am the superplastic
The radon smartbombs
On the chiajesus
They please us all the way
With the President’s
Rubber elastic

I don't know what to say to you
and I don't know what to do
You complain about your shitty life
and how you're always screwed
Kevorkian was busy
so you call me up instead
you spent too much at Macy's
and you're mom won't pay for it
I don't know why you think the world was made for you
Bill Gates bought the fucker
and God knows what he'll do
I don't know what to say to you
and I don't know what to do
You complain about your shitty life
and how you're always screwed
You say you like John Matthews
'cause it seems he's really nice
but, the weather man don't give a damn
if you're naughty or your nice
I don't know why you think the world was made for you
I don't know why you think you're due

Pine

When you’ve got no one
Left or right
The red light
Cross the blue ones
And take us all back tonight
She’s late again
But, I don’t have the words
To mend her
She’s already gone
From the big box
To the pine
Eye width
I drift like ether
In the line of fire
I’ve got no one
Left or right
The sting is the pulse
On this raging silent night
The things
Never seen or done
She’ll never be the one
Someday
When you’ve got no one left
Right there, I survive
She’s already gone
