Somebody Put Something In My Drink

Somebody
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody

Another night out on the streets
Stopping for my usual seats
Oh, bartender, please

Tanqueray & tonic's my favorite drink
I don't like anything colored pink
That just stinks...it's not for me

It feels like
Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something

Blurred vision and dirty thoughts
Feel out of place and very distraught
Feel something coming on

Yeah, I kick the jukebox, slam the floor
Drink, drink, drink, drink some more
I can't think
Hey, what's in that drink?

It feels like
Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
...in my drink
...in my drink
...in my drink
...in my drink

So you think it's funny
A college prank
Goin' insane for something to drink
Feel a little dry

Oh, I couldn't care what you think of me
Cause somebody put something in my drink
I can't think
Hey, give me a drink

It feels like
Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink
Somebody put something
Somebody put something in my drink


Animal Boy

Gonna kill and destroy
I'm not an Animal Boy
Why don't they understand
I'm not an ape man

Don't have brain damage
I'm not an a wild savage
Don't push me around
Don't bring my head down

Animal Boy
Animal Boy
Animal Boy

I'm not an imbecile
Don't treat me like an animal
I'm not a creature in the zoo
Don't tell me what to do

Animal Boy
Animal Boy
Animal Boy

You don't know what it's like
You don't know how I feel
I don't have a monkey's brain
I'm not an animal

You can't lock me in a cage
This ain't the Stoneage
Better get out of my way
Someone's gonna have to pay

Animal boy

Love Kills

Sid was a punk rock king
Nancy was a broken queen
Their lives were so glamorous
Sid and Nancy were a mess
When you're hooked on heroin
Don't you know you'll never win
Drugs don't ever pay
You really did it your way

Love kills
Love kills
Love kills

We still believe in anarchy
It makes me so damn angry
Sid and Nancy meant a lot to me
You may be dead but your souls are free
Like Romeo and Juliet
You two made a pact of death
Like the needle that ya used
Sid and Nancy were born to lose

Love kills
Love kills
Love kills

Sid never meant any harm
He shot some dope into his arm
All he wanted was some fun
Now she's lying in a pool of blood
Always loaded, always high
Why did you have to die?
I'll say one thing is
It leaves me with a bitter taste

Love kills
Love kills
Love kills

Love kills
Love kills
Love kills

Love kills
Love kills
Love kills


Apeman Hop

He has got so many problems
You can count them one by one
He's a filthy, stupid apeman
He never has any fun
He lives in the jungle
In a cave by the hill
Plays an old loud drum
He's primitive, barely human

Apeman hop
Apeman hop

Paint the face of a demon
Glowing by the fire light
Hoppin' like an elephant
Thunderin' like me tonight
He's the world's worst recycler
The iceman comes alive
He's the devil's apprentice
He's a prehistoric man

Apeman hop
Apeman hop

At night he's gonna sacrifice
His beloved apeman girl
Tie her to the alter
Pull out her heart and eat her flesh

Apeman hop
Apeman hop
Apeman hop
Apeman hop

Apeman...


She Belongs To Me

What makes you think she'll go with you?
What makes you think you're better than me?
You think you can read her mind
Maybe you're just looking for a good time
Maybe you can give her more
Tell me what you're doing this for
Stay away from her, 'cause it's making me angry

Don't tell me how to love my baby
Don't tell me how to love my baby
Don't tell me how to love my baby
Don't tell me how to love my baby
She belongs to me

You come around looking for kicks
But I know all about your dirty tricks now
You think you took away my dream
Ain't gonna be easy 'cause I get real mean
Get out of here, get out of my life
You're gonna be sorry if we have to fight
Stay away from her, 'cause it's making me angry

Don't tell me how to love my baby
Don't tell me how to love my baby
Don't tell me how to love my baby
Don't tell me how to love my baby
She belongs to me

Oh oh
Don't tell me how to love my baby
Don't tell me how to love my baby
Don't tell me how to love my baby
Don't tell me how to love my baby
Don't tell me how to love my baby
Don't tell me how to love my baby
Don't tell me how to love my baby
Don't tell me how to love my baby
She belongs to me
She belongs to me, yeah
She belongs to me

My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes To Bitburg)

You got to pick up the pieces
Come on, sort your trash
Better pull yourself back together
Maybe you've got too much cash
Better call, call the law
When you gonna turn yourself in, yeah
You're a politician
Don't become one of Hitler's children

Bonzo goes to Bitburg
Then goes out for a cup of tea
As I watched it on TV
Somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town
For an extended foreign policy
Pick up the pieces

My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down
Ooh yeah, my brain is hanging upside down
And I need something to slow me down

Shouldn't wish you happiness
Wish her the very best
Fifty thousand dollar dress
Shaking hands with your highness
See through you like cellophane
You watch the world complain
But you do it anyway
Who am I, am I to say

Bonzo goes to Bitburg
Then goes out for a cup of tea
As I watched it on TV
Somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town
For an extended foreign policy
Pick up the pieces

My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down
Ooh yeah, My brain is hanging upside down
And I need something to slow me down

If there's one thing that makes me sick
It's when someone tries to hide behind politics
I wish that time could go by fast
Somehow they manage to make it last

My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down
Ooh yeah, My brain is hanging upside down
And I need something to slow me down
Ooh yeah, My brain is hanging upside down
And I need something to slow me down


Mental Hell

Evil in my head, in my head, inside this private hell
I'm not feeling very well
I'm not feeling very well

Frustration, disgust, aggravation, disgust, mental hell
I'm not feeling very well
I'm not feeling very well

Day, day after day,
It never changes, always the same way
Day after day
Day after day
Day after

Demon in my head, in my head, inside this private hell
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I'm not feeling very well
I'm not feeling very well

Frustration, disgust, aggravation, disgust, mental hell
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I'm not feeling very well
I'm not feeling very well

Day, day after day,
It never changes, always the same way
Day after day
Day after day
Day after

Do do do do, Do do do do, Do do do do, Do do do do
Do do do do, Do do do do, Do do do do, Do do do do
Do do do do, Do do do do, Do do do do, Do do do do
Do do do do, Do do do do, Do do do do, Do do do do

Mental Hell

Eat That Rat

You don't want to share with anyone else
You got all the money, you got all the wealth
You got all the buildings and the factories
You got all the power and the ceremonies
You wanna play a game of cat and mouse
With the President in the White House
This is a hungry world, there are months to feed
There are millionaires with more than they need

Eat that rat
Eat that rat
Eat that rat
Eat that rat

1-2-3-4

Don't believe what you've been told
You can't change a turd into gold
Somehow we get all these creeps in control
It makes me throw up in the toilet bowl

You thieving whore, you hustle for bucks
You take the money and you shoot it up
That's the breaks, it's the chance you take
Get it together for your children's sake

Eat that rat
Eat that rat
Eat that rat
Eat that rat


Freak Of Nature

I need psychiatric therapy
I could use a lobotomy
Guess I'll never learn
Suppose I'll always be a worm

Freak of nature

Got a ten inch erection
A pimply complexion
Man I got problems, I'll bet you heard
I'm completely misunderstood

Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa

I'm a monstrosity
I'm a human oddity
Everybody's staring at me
I'm an outcast from society

Hair Of The Dog

When I woke up this morning from the night before
My brain was pulsating, I was battered and sore
Nothing I tried would satisfy
Cold Coke and Pepsi or Canada Dry

What's so wrong, hair of the dog, yeah
There's nothing wrong, hair of the dog, yeah
What's so wrong, hair of the dog, yeah
There's nothing wrong, hair of the dog, yeah

Finally pulled myself out of my bed
Feeling kinda dodgy, I was feeling half dead
Done it before, probably do it again
Don't know if I ever will learn

What's so wrong, hair of the dog, yeah
There's nothing wrong, hair of the dog, yeah
What's so wrong, hair of the dog, yeah
There's nothing wrong, hair of the dog, yeah

Hair of the dog
Hair of the dog

Finally pulled myself out of my bed
Feeling kinda dodgy, I was feeling half dead
Done it before, probably do it again
Don't know if I ever will learn

What's so wrong, hair of the dog, yeah
There's nothing wrong, hair of the dog, yeah
What's so wrong, hair of the dog, yeah
There's nothing wrong, hair of the dog, yeah
What's so wrong, hair of the dog, yeah
There's nothing wrong, hair of the dog, yeah
What's so wrong, hair of the dog, yeah
There's nothing wrong, hair of the dog, yeah


Something To Believe In

I wish I was someone else
I'm confused, I'm afraid
I hate the loneliness
And there's nowhere to run to
Nothing makes any sense
But I still try my hardest

ah-ah
Take my hand
ah-ah
Please help me man

'cause I'm looking for
Something to believe in
And I don't know where to start
And I don't know where to begin, to begin

If I was stupid or naive
Trying to achieve
What they all call contentness
If people weren't such dicks
And I never made mistakes
Then I could find forgiveness

ah-ah
Take my hand
ah-ah
Please help me man

'cause I'm looking for
Something to believe in
And I don't know where to start
And I don't know where to begin, oh no

I can't be someone else
I don't feel that it's hopeless
I don't feel that I'm useless
I can't throw it all away
I need some courage to find my weakness
And with your love
I know with all my heart I can win

'cause I'm looking for
Something to believe in
And I just need
Something to believe in
I'm looking for
Something to believe in
And I just need
Something to believe in
