Trick or treat

Howdy neighbor

Oh, what is he
building in t
hat painted la

A participatio
n-trophy-wife
or blonde, blu
e-eyed baby?
Wide-eyed and
wired, the sna
p-crackle-pop
of the Geiger
Camouflage bil
lboards for le
ad-lined Brook
s Brothers
You elbow the
jukebox and si
ng “Duck and C
over"
And breed out
our incisors,
feed on white
wine and Pfize
r
It don’t look
like survival,
b-but buy now
or die
[Chorus]

So, welcome ho
me
[Verse 2]
Myers-Briggs,
OKULTRA
Takes a villag
e to fake a wh
ole culture
Your ear to th
e playground,
your eye on th
e ball
Your head in t
he gutter, you
r brains on th
e wall
Oh well, Home
is where the h
eart is
You ain’t home
less, but you’
re heartless
It’s the safes
t on the marke
t
But you still
gotta watch wh
ere you park i

So give me you
r half-life cr
isis
I can tell tha
t you know whe
re paradise is
Where parasite
s don’t care w
hat your blood
type is
Only pheromone
s and serotoni
n decide
If it's true t
hat a snowflak
e only matters
in a blizzard
Everyone knows
that nobody k
nows that
Everybody’s al
l up in my, ev
erybody’s all
up in my
Everybody’s al
l up in my bus
iness
[Chorus]
Suburbia--a--a

So, welcome ho

Of a night at

[Intro]
| | | | |
I dropped my e
yeballs in the
bonfire, we f
ucked on a bed
of nails
I caught Kuru
from your sist
er and died la
ughing in jail
Smell those sc
reaming teenag
e sweetbreads
on the 4th of
July grill
Smile and wave
, boys, kiss t
he cook, live
laugh and love
, please pass
the pills
[Verse 3]
It’s only cult
ure, it’s only
culture
It’s only cu--
u--ulture, sul
fur, smoke, an
d soot
You learned to
torture house
cats like vul
tures
You cocked and
sucked your l
ack of empathy
,
Pulled the trigger with your foot to prove you’ve got-
[Chorus]
Blood, didn’t
they want your
blood?
So why apologi
ze for being b
lue and cold?
Blood, didn’t
they want your
blood?
So don’t apolo
gize for being
blue and cold
| | | | |
[Verse 4]
It’s only cult
ure, it’s only
culture
It’s only ah,
ah, ah, ah
N,C,
Culture’s not your friend
Hey, fuck your
culture, I ai
n’t got no cul
ture
It’s only cult
ure, and it's
more afraid of
you than you
are of it
Go on, drink t
hat-
[Chorus]
Blood, didn’t
they want your
blood?
So why apologi
ze when you tu
rn blue and co
ld?
Blood, didn’t
they want your
blood?
So don’t apolo
gize for being
blue and cold
[Bridge]
Were you Nabok
ov to a Saling
er?
Jung to Freud
or Dass to a L
eary?
Were you mothe
r, daughter, s
ubject, and au
thor?
You don’t make
the rules, yo
u just write t
hem down and d
o it by the bo
ok you throw a
round
[Love Me, Normally]
[Outro]
Do you know th
e difference b
etween blazing
trails and sl
ash-and-burn?
Going against
the grain and
catching splin
ters?
You pull out y
our Rorschach
like a paint-b
y-numbers trea
sure map
The ink upon y
our jigsaw pie
ce trace you b
ack to your fi
ngerprints
Well Lot he ha
d his lot in l
ife, Job his j
ob and I guess
you'll too, w
ill die
The Lord looke
d down, said,
“Hey, you’re o
nly mortal”
Giveth and tak
eth away ‘til
things come ou
t a certain wa
y
Leave you wond
ering when the
y might go bac
k to normal
Leave you wond
ering why they
can’t have ju
st been normal
