Wanna Be Manor

You can tell I'm no great planner
I ended up at the wanna be manor
wanna be manor, what a place to be
wanna be manor, it's not for me
I looked in the door, opened the door
peeed on the floor, spotted a wh*re
drugs and filth are all around
no clean dishes can be found
if you thought that your nightmares were scary
wait till you meet the h*e called jerri
no one dragged a dead fish in the room
it's spreading legs and her female perfume
I walked upstairs, I can't explain
but I got involved in a three man train
was it fun? Yeah, I guess
but I got crabs like all the rest
Dave's a cool guy but he's a really a slob
lives on unemployment, and he can't get a job
go ahead and take a drink, there's nothing to fear
just make sure you sniff that beer!
Passing out is no excuse
you'll be subject to abuse
some will let you hang there
It's just the pigs on their nightly visit
After busting one person each
the pigs said to move out of huntington beach
now I'll have to find a new town
or find another wanna be manor
wanna be manor
You can tell I'm no great planner
I ended up at the wanna be manor
wanna be manor, what a place to be
wanna be manor, it's not for me
wanna be manor
wanna be manor


Urban Struggle

I want to be a Cowboy
I got to be a Cowboy
I'm born to be a Cowboy
I want to be a Cowboy
A Cowboy! Uh-huh
Tonight we're taking me fast car
Were gonna go down to the Cowboy bar
I'm gonna wait till the club is full
and I'm gonna ride the mechanical bull
Cowboy look is the one I sought
Can't change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a true Cowboy was my fate
I can't help it if I was born late
All the Cowgirls in their Stetson hats
and their tight fitting jeans so they don't look fat
We'll all be listening to the Cowboy tunes
and stomp around like a bunch of goons
Cowboy look is the one I sought
Can't change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a true cowboy was my fate
I can't help it if I was born late
We're all OD'd on the Olden West
seein' who's Cowboy clothes look the best
I can ride that phony bull so d*** good
Sometimes I think I'm Clint Eastwood
Cowboy look is the one I sought
Can't change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a true cowboy was my fate
I can't help it if I was born late
I know I'm a Cowboy deep inside
My hat band's made out of synthetic rattle snake hide
After a couple s*** kickin' Cowboy movies
I'll check out the Cowboy scene down at Zubie's
Cowboy look is the one I sought
Can't change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a true cowboy was my fate
I can't help it if I was born late
Find out who all fights the best
We start fights with them punks at the Cuckoo's Nest
Those d*** punks are crazy(though)
and meaner than a bull at a rodeo
Cowboy look is the one I sought
Can't change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a true cowboy was my fate
I can't help it if I was born late
You call me an Urban clone of course
A big deal if I'm afraid to ride a horse
With a broken nose and a f***ed up knee
Maybe this Cowboy scene just ain't for me
Cowboy look is the one I sought
Can't change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a true cowboy was my fate
I can't help it if I was born late
Yee Haw
Cowboy look is the one I sought
Can't change now cause the clothes are bought
To be a true cowboy was my fate
I can't help it if I was born late


The Legend Of Pat Brown

Pat Brown
Tried to run the cops down

Ran 'em into the ground
Pat Brown
Tried to run the cops down
Pat Brown
Ran 'em into the ground
Patrick Edward Brown
Tried to run the cops down
Patrick Edward Brown
Tried to run the mother f***in cops into the ground
Pat Brown
Gets real mean, when he's in his machine
He's no zero, he's a f***ing hero
Pat Brown
He didn't get too far
Pat Brown
He got holes in his car
Pat Brown
They threw him in jail
Pat Brown
Couldn't pay his bail
Patrick Edward Brown
Tried to run the cops down
Patrick Edward Brown
Tried to run the mother f***in cops into the ground

He's got a shotgun, yeah he thinks it's fun
To shoot at you
Patrick Edward Brown
Tried to run the cops down
Patrick Edward Brown
Tried to run the mother f***in cops into the ground
Pat Brown
He's a crazy guy

On a hunting trip

Circle Massage got a shotgun barrage
He won't pay 50 bucks for head
Music shop got a midnight shopping stop
"Hello Marshal Amps"
Stereo store got hit for even more
But Pat got caught
At the Cuckoo's Nest, he did his best
To waste some pigs
Patrick Edward Brown
Tried to run the cops down
Patrick Edward Brown
Tried to run the mother f***in cops into the ground
Pat Brown
He don't f*** around

Sawed-off shotgun in his seat
Better look around cause here comes Pat Brown
Gonna run you down
Now don't f*** around
with Pat Brown
Don't fuck around with Pat Brown
with Pat Bra-rown


Pirate's Life

Seven hits of L
and nobody could tell
So I spent every dime
just to get to Aniehem
I was in the Magic Kingdom
Now I'm in the Carribean
You get something really wicked
when you spend an E-ticket
High adventure on the sea, but it's not the life for me
Now those harry tatooed pirates are all chasing after me
I was threatened with a knife by a pirate playing fife
Now I'm sailing for my life thanks to LSD 25
Where can I hide?
I don't want to buy a bride
I'm alone as I float
Hey, there were others in my boat
Up ahead, one of the men he said he would be my friend
He'd guide me to the hole If I deeded him my soul
To the hole I didn't make it
That doesn't mean he didn't take it
He laughed at my plight
He said you'll be one of us tonight
High adventure on the sea, but it's not the life for me
Now those harry tatooed pirates are all chasing after me
I was threatened with a knife by a pirate playing fife
Now I'm sailing for my life thanks to LSD 25
He was right, I'm still here
as I have been, for over a year
With my last bit of hope, a tin can and rope
I just want to break free
But I can't get away
No I can't get away
cause that d*** dog's got the key
No one listens as I tell
of my ordeal in this cell
They stand right by but they don't feel
Is this for real? Is this for real!


Anrachy Burger (Hold The Government)

anarchy, kill a cat
shoot james brady in the back
raise an army of rabid rats
beat your neighbor with a bat
anarchy burger
hold the government
anarchy burger
hold the government
anarchy, go ape s***
let them know your sick of it
write your congressman,
tell him he sucks, your only in it for the bucks
anarchy burger
hold the government
anarchy burger
hold the government
you're all potential anarchy burgers
if you want to be free
order yourself an anarchy burger
(hold the government, please)
anarchy burger
hold the government
America stands for freedom
but if you think you're free
try walking into a deli
and urinating on the cheese
anarchy burger
hold the government
anarchy burger
hold the government
say f*** in front of your mom
f***!
and go to school naked
