Skinwalker 03:02
You can see me walkin’ I got the head of a wolf You can hear me howlin’ While I call your bluff Skinwalker You can see me runnin’ said I’m head of a pack Once I steal your soul You never get it back Skinwalker Once you see me comin’ There’s nothing you can do You better get away while I’m howlin’ at the moon Skinwalker

I said I never did believe in fate or what they call ‘destiny’ You keep going till you go no more That’s where you’re supposed to be 80 years ain’t a lot of time do what you gotta do What’s the point of living your whole life if nobody remembers you? It’s Sudden Death in the Flesh You can spend an awful lot of your time Find the meaning life But what’s the difference if it all could end at the edge of a knife? It’s Sudden Death in the Flesh You can spend an awful lot of time find the meaning of life What’s the difference if it all could end at the edge of a knife? It’s Sudden Death in the Flesh

Lawman 03:41
Hey now mama, listen what I say That old lawman he’s coming my way He been on me since the day I was born hunting me down till I go in the ground I’m your son mother, and I’m a good man I can’t do this alone here now, won’t you please hold me hand? Darkness close around me... I can’t see the light To me now the noon-day sun it’s as dark as the night And in the distance I see That lawman’s come for me I’m always surrounded but feel out of place It’s like I’m segregated, I’m another race I’m feelin so tired because I never win I never knew that being lonely is such a sin And the tears sting my eyes As I stare at the sky How could I’ve ever known He’d attack when I’s alone? Death knocked on my door but I could not reply I’m not bearing to live, but I’m not ready to die It’s already over, the damage was done I’m at the end of your smoking gun Getting harder to breath ‘cause I’m gnashing my teeth Hearin’ voices in my head And they want me dead

I’m workin double time, ain’t got no money to lose and if you’re handing it out I said I couldn’t refuse this is America, we sing “the land of the free” but maybe that’s just what the corporation wants you to think I’m feelin... That’s the Working Man I can’t pay my bills, I can’t pay for my pills I said ol’ Uncle Sam he’s got deep pockets to fill If we all play nice and do just as he says maybe we can have a scrap to eat before we’re dead I’m feelin... That’s the Working Man I can’t pay for food, I’m working all damn day I guess I don’t have time to eat it now anyways I’m makin’ minimum wage, workin’ two crappy jobs and at the end of every week I end up gettin robbed I’m feelin... That’s the Working Man

Bloody shovel and muddy boots Three gueses what he’s gonna do He’s Gravedigger Dan When darkness falls and moon is out hear the ladies scream and shout You’ll find ‘em in the boneyard tomorrow They’ll be with all the rest Gonna be out late tonight, don’t bother putting up no fight He’s Gravedigger Dan Take ‘em out to the potter’s field ‘cause he’s got another life to steal There ain’t another soul around, so don’t waste your breath Grinding your bones to hustle your beast Pitchfork mobs ‘semblin the masses

I ain’t got no money, I can’t sleep at night Been lyin’ to my baby, tell her, “It’ll be alright” But I don’t know Lord, what can I do? I guess I’ll keep on goin’ since I got Nothing Left to Lose I’m up four in the morning workin’ all day long Bring nothing home ‘cept a bunch of these sad old songs An’ I don’t know Lord, what can I do? I guess I’ll keep on playing this here guitar I got Nothing Left to Lose I lost my job so now I walk the streets alone I’m out all night ‘cause I’m too scared to go back home I don’t know Lord, what can I do? I guess I’ll keep on going since I got Nothing Left to Lose

Soldier Song 05:56
I see their faces in my dreams In my head I hear them screamin’ They stare at me with their unblinkin’ eyes for every son, a mother cries I’m wading in blood, I’m knee deep So burn me alive while I’m fast asleep I never thought I’d feel so alone Like I did when I came home They all ask me how it was But they don’t know just what it does I’m wading in blood, I’m waist deep So burn me alive while I’m fast asleep I wait for death to take me away to peace of mind and end of days I’m shaking, crying here on the floor I don’t want to live my life no more I’m drowning in blood, I’m neck deep So burn me alive while I’m fast asleep

I’m stuck on the edge, I’m one of the dregs, I have no home I’m sick in the head, I’m feelin’ dead and I’m not alone I opened the door, threw up on the floor, now I’m feeling good I’m gettin’ sore, come back for more like youknew I would Now I’ll run a million miles an hour Otherwise I’ll be Left for Dead I’m on top of the world with all the pretty girls, it won’t last for long I’ll be thrown in a cell, it’s a living hell, I done nothing wrong. I’m stuck on the edge, I’m one of the dregs, I have no home I’m sick in the head, I’m feelin’ dead and I’m not alone Now I’ll run a million miles an hour Otherwise I’ll be Left for Dead Now I’ll run a million miles an hour Otherwise I’ll be Left for Dead

New Meat 03:13
I got an arrow in my knee All day long I been drinkin’ antifreeze I got a bunch of pictures on my face at least that’s what all the old folks keep sayin’ Please Calm Me Down Don’t you go pointin’ no fingers I said you got a flamin’ head Don't you dare try to cross my street ‘Cause my laser-quest dumptruck beats Please Calm Me Down Please Calm Me Down

Hey baby, let me take you home I’m sick n’ tired of sleepin’ all alone C’mon over, we can fool around start in bed n’ end up on the ground I said I want your love It’s all I’m thinking of And now I’m feeling right I’ll sleep with you tonight Baby said you wanted more draw you blinds ... lock your door Try to call me on my telephone Sorry baby, but I’m not at home I said I want your love It’s all I’m thinking of And now I’m feeling right I’ll sleep with you tonight
