lyrics

Is mankind inherently
Good or just, just set on evil?
This question’s been urkin’ me
‘Cause I gotta learn how to deal
With piranha-fin-sharp-tooth people
Devourin’ the space around
In this dark maze that I somehow
On my drunken trek home fell into

Now I’m a lover not a fighter
Not a fighter most of the time
Even though I’ve been told by good friends
I’ve been told by good friends of mine
That I dress like I must really wanna
I must really wanna fight crime
As a kid I’d watch Jean-Claude Van Dame
Really kick some ass and cause some harm

There’s something in violence, something in
Violence to, to a male that’s young
I’d get in fights even tripped another
‘Nother kid and the fall broke his arm
Still feel remorse even though
Even though was, it was long ago
‘Cause now I just want my love
I want my love to conquer all

Yes I just want m-y love to conquer all
Sunshine, my girl, and what I call rock ‘n’ roll
Fountain of youth spiked with some smooth alcohol
But in my life that’s just not su-stain-a-ble

Now back through the dark maze
Dark maze where now I know
A few hidden pathways
Pathways and corridors
Where things do move fast pace
Without a pause
Like the creatures that brace
Their catacombes

I’m always so a-amazed
Amazed how they survive
So I shake and twist wh-ile
Twist while I shine a light
I’m done livin’ the dark
Age of my life
I’m getting this room with
No windows bright

But the perpetrators
Traitors, those piranhas
Are buildin’ a mess b-y
Addin, addin’ more walls
I might get pissed but I
I won’t get lost
What’s a man to do but
Grip on his balls

And to continue on
On his, his muddy path
Until “One Dirty Dude”

Will read my epitaph
And the scarier it gets
The more I’ll laugh
I will get through it lookin’
Like a psychopath
