Humble Havoc

Lost in time and space
No way in, no way out
Bastard race, scream real loud

We're all good, we're all bad
We're all happy, we're all sad
I don't know what to plead

All you want, all you need ' money
"How dare you call it greed, honey?
so sorry, must be my mistake babe.

Push, shove ' make love
More pressure from above
Certain silence, sudden violence
Hatred through my eyes' dim lens

It aint that bad to be mad
It aint that bad at all
It's actually quite a ball
I'm constantly down
That's why I can't fall

My life, your life, the life, all life
Madness
The wife ' beehive, struggle, strife
Madness

Good to live, better to die
Told the Devil was my daddy
Who am I to argue still
Who am I? Who am I?

I am what never was, I am a spec of dust
Insolvent; can't lose love, can't lose lust
The first decision of desertion
Like the first incision of the surgeon

I have these abilities, abilities
Keep on going got to get somewhere
I ask please, love don't freeze, just don't freeze
If you don't stop, listen¦take care

Always looking for a dad,
surely Satan aint that bad
Always looking for some love
it's not here
and not Above.
