Anvil - Some lyrics of the 90's
"Miscellaneous Lyrics"
1. LOVE ME WHEN I'M DEAD
(Lips, Reiner)
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Did you love him as he died on the cross
Did you learn the meaning, end or cause
On and on you know I hear it said
Only listening when you are dead
No recognition for a shining jewel
Why do men have to be so cruel
It won't be the first, it won't be the last
In the future and in the past
No excuses for mistake
Always someone left to foresake
Chorus:
Love me when I'm dead
Love me when I'm dead
Love me when I'm dead
Love me when I'm dead
No avow for the sublime
It will be that way 'till the end of time
Each and all there's instilled some good
Little or nothing's left understood
Criticizing all that is true
Just going on what you thought you knew
It won't be the first, it won't be the last
In the future and in the past
-Chorus-
That's the way it's going to be
It's me and you to make history
In the future in the past
Won't be the first, Won't be the last
-Chorus-
2. RACIAL HOSTILITY
(Lips, Reiner)
+++++++++++++++++++
NOTE: This is an early, unreleased version, not the 'Plugged In Permanent'
version.
Have you heard that Pakis stink
Jews are cheap, bad drivers are Chinks
Have you heard that Indians are drunk
Niggers are bad, Arabs eat skunk
Racial hostility
I get disgusted by all of this biggotted crap
I get revolted time after time
Racial hostility, henious crime
Chorus:
Love to hate, hate to love
Racial hostility
Love to hate, hate to love
Have you heard that Niggers steal
Japs are sneaks, a Gypsy's deal
Have you heard that gays suck dick / Have you heard that gays are sick (93
demo/95 demo)
?????, it's a dirty trick
Racial hostilty
Repugnant and ignorant, bad to the core
I just don't want to hear no more
-Chorus-
-Chorus-
I get disgusted by things people say
Take your hatred and go away
I'm getting sick of the news
Neo Nazis still hate Jews
How many more blacks in our jail
How can we help but fail
Don't tell me we can't make it right
Then why do we have to fear the night
-Chorus-
3. MISTER GREEN
(Lips, Reiner)
+++++++++++++++
NOTE: This was later released on 'Plugged In Permanent' as 'Smokin' Green'.
Smokin'!
Every waking moment of every single day
I consult Mister Green to get me on my way
He changes my outlook, you know he sets me right
Oh how I thank him for showing me the light
Chorus:
He's so smooth. Keeps me in the groove. Nothing to prove.
Mister Green, Mister Green
Under his influence I've been
When I'm feeling shitty, I mean really feeling down
You never have to worry when Mister Green's in town
It's become a habit, a habit till the end
I can't but have him, but have him as a friend
-Chorus-
Every waking moment of every bloody day
Mister Green is always here to get me on my way
Some people think he's evil, they just can't conceive
It's all a matter of taste and what you believe
-Chorus-
Mister Green, Mister Green
Under his influence I've been
Mister Green, Mister Green
Making my waistline obscene
Mister Green, Oh, Mister Green
Under his influence I've been
Mister Green, Oh, Mister Green
Making my waistline obscene
4. STOLEN
(Lips, Reiner)
+++++++++
NOTE: This is an early, unreleased version, not the 'Plugged In Permanent'
version.
Stole my wife, they stole my money
Stole my dog and that ain't funny
Stole my weed, they stole my car
Stole my words, they won't get far
Stolen
Stole from me
Stole my thoughts, they stole my time
Stole my music and that's a crime
Stole the spotlight, they stole the fame
Steal your soul just to play the game
I always have what they need
What they need
Taken by envy and greed
Stolen, you stole from me
Stolen, I'll never let this be
Stolen, I don't need this shit
On the low life thief I spit
Stole my food, stole my bike
Stole my heart and everything like
Stole my joy, stole my pleasure
Steal my love and buried treasure
Stole my future, stole my past
Stole my present, they should all be gassed
Stole my look, stole my trip
Steal you blind, keep a stiff upper lip
I always have what they need
What they need
Taken by envy and greed
Stolen, you stole from me
Stolen, I'll never let this be
Stolen, I don't need this shit
Stolen, on the thief I spit
Stolen, you stole from me
Stolen, I'll never let this be
Stolen, I don't need this shit
On the low life thief I spit
Stolen

6. FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE
(Lips, Reiner)
+++++++++++++++++++++++
NOTE: This is an early, unreleased version, not the 'Plugged In Permanent'
version.
Hand to the gland and I don't care
There ain't no secret I won't bare
All I wanna do is beat my meat
Shakin' steak, oh what a treat
Stroke it, stroke it really hard
I wanna watch it blow a yard
Date with the Palm sisters what you got
Wanking your willie really hit the spot
5 knuckle shuffle in the shower with the soap
Chokin' the chicken just ain't no joke
5 knuckle shuffle in the shower with the soap
5 knuckle shuffle I got nothin' to poke
Rattle my snake most every night
I wanna woman to do it right
Stroke it, stroke it really hard
I wanna watch it blow a yard
All I wanna do is shake my stick
'Cause pullin' my pecker really does the trick
5 knuckle shuffle in the shower with the soap
Chokin' the chicken just ain't no joke
5 knuckle shuffle in the shower with the soap
Chokin' the chicken just ain't no joke
5 knuckle shuffle in the shower with the soap
5 knuckle shuffle I got nothin' to poke
Don't you worry when you spank the chimp
It don't mean that you're a wimp
Stroke it, stroke it really hard
Watch it blow across the yard
Date with the Palm sisters what you got
Shine your shilaylly and don't get caught
5 knuckle shuffle in the shower with the soap
Chokin' the chicken just ain't no joke
5 knuckle shuffle in the shower with the soap
Chokin' the chicken just ain't no joke
5 knuckle shuffle in the shower with the soap
Chokin' the chicken just ain't no joke
5 knuckle shuffle in the shower with the soap
5 knuckle shuffle I got nothin' to poke

14. SPEED OF SOUND
(Lips, Reiner, Gyorffy, Hurd)
++++++++++++++++++
Turbine starts, engines whine
Rocket fire, you know its blast off time
Burning fuel, deadly tool
Break the sky, shock wave blast, ripping fast
The speed of sound, speed of sound
The speed of sound, speed of sound
Sonic boom, machine of doom
The power to fly, birds eye view,climbing to
Chorus:
The speed of sound, speed of sound
The speed of sound, speed of sound
The speed of sound, speed of sound
The speed of sound, speed of sound
High speed flight, vapour trail
Thunderous thrust, hear the engines wail
After burn, no return
The angels cry, searing speed, the power to exceed
-Chorus 2X-
15. BLOOD IN THE PLAYGROUND
(Lips, Reiner, Gyorffy, Hurd)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
There were two young boys with a murderous plan frustrated with their lives
Evil thoughts went through their heads like a thousand knives
No one thought theyd really do it but much to our surprise
Using guns their father bought was part of the demise
They took their guns and ammo and one sat on the hill
The other pulled the fire alarm and they waited for the kill
Bullets flying
People dying
Blood in the playground
Blood in the playground
Blood in the playground
On the bloody ground the people lay, some were already dead
A teacher shielding her students took the wound from which she bled
The perpetrators of this crime, they were apprehended
This story is sad but true, that is how it ended
Its saddening
Its maddening
Blood in the playground
Blood in the playground
16. DEADBEAT DAD
(Lips, Reiner, Gyorffy, Hurd)
++++++++++++++++
A failed marriage left the mother to care
Love is gone but the kids are still there
A broken home has become commonplace
The look of anguish on the childs face
Gone and lost
Being there just for conception
Made a promise that was all a deception
Gone and lost
Chorus 1:
Deadbeat dad, support he wont pay
Deadbeat dad always staying away
Deadbeat dad in disgrace and despair
Deadbeat dad, to the kids its not fair
Biology can only go so far
When your gone it leaves a scar
Children learn to live without
Being there is what its all about
Gone and lost
Pay the cost
Chorus 2:
Deadbeat dad lost in a haze
Deadbeat dad set in his ways
Deadbeat dad, a loser at heart
Deadbeat dad wont do his part
Deadbeat dad
Deadbeat dad
Deadbeat dad
Deadbeat dad
-Chorus 1-
Deadbeat dad
Deadbeat dad
Deadbeat dad
Deadbeat dad
Deadbeat dad
Deadbeat dad
Deadbeat dad
17. MAN OVER BROAD
(Lips, Reiner, Gyorffy, Hurd)
++++++++++++++++++
Theres a man over broad
Casting with his fishing rod
Looking for a bite
Catch a meal tonight
On the star broad bow
The seaman know just how
Trawling from the stern
On the hook your worm
Baiting, waiting, anticipating
Skinboat to tuna town
Skinboat to tuna town
Ship to shore
Back for more
Skinboat to tuna town
Skinboat to tuna town
Theres a man over broad
He aint just catching cod
Teach you how to whale
On his ship you will sail
Baiting, waiting, anticipating
Skinboat to tuna town
Ship to shore
Back for more
Skinboat to tuna town
Skinboat to tuna town
Skinboat to tuna town
Skinboat to tuna town
18. NO EVIL
(Lips, Reiner, Gyorffy, Hurd)
+++++++++++
Living in a daydream is the way some people live
Stubborn in their ways, no compromise to give
Locking out the real world, letting nothing in
Believing that the world is bad and evil is within
Chorus 1:
Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil
Influence and environment can be detrimental
Hiding from reality, is sure to drive you mental
You have to know the fact remains, evil wont disappear
There is no sense spending your life living in fear
Chorus 2:
Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil
Speak no evil, see no evil, hear no evil
Taking on all obstacles and making a stand
Not being like an ostrich with your head in the sand
Good or bad accept it all, take it in stride
Evil is abound, there is no place to hide
-Chorus 2-
19. BULLSHIT
(Lips, Reiner, Gyorffy, Hurd)
++++++++++++
Bullshit is all that I hear
Bullshit, its loud and clear
Bullshit is all that Im fed
Bullshit, by the nose Im led
Bullshit, verbal diarrhea to me
Bullshit, it flows like the sea
Bullshit is all that they say
Bullshit, 'til the end of the day
Bullshit from the corporate whore
Bullshit, with their marketing lure
Bullshit, like crap on my shoe
Bullshit is what they spew
Chorus:
Lies that flow from a deceptive mouth are bullshit to me
I dont fall for your twisted truth, stay away from me
Bullshit, you lie like a rug
Bullshit, so smart and smug
Bullshit from your wife and your kid
Bullshit for nothing you did
Bullshit, it rings in my head
Bullshit wont stop 'til Im dead
Bullshit, youre drying the well
Bullshit, you can go to hell
-Chorus-
20. MATTRESS MAMBO
(Lips, Reiner, Gyorffy, Hurd)
++++++++++++++++++
My favourite type of dancing is done upon a bed
Moving to the music that plays within my head
Learning all the dance steps, point flex plie tendu
Bending over backwards, on point Ill be for you
Tarantella
A midnight dance for me
Chorus:
Mattress, mattress mambo
Mattress, do the mattress mambo
Bouncing off the headboard, slip on satin sheets
Titillating tango in the bedroom cant be beat
Waltzing Matilda
A midnight dance with me
-Chorus-
Hiphop, Jazz and Breakdance, it all seems the same
Moshing, Disco and Raving are all just as lame
My favourite type of dancing is done upon a bed
Moving to the music that plays within my head
Tea for two
A midnight dance for you
-Chorus-
-Chorus-
21. SECRET AGENT
(Lips, Reiner, Gyorffy, Hurd)
++++++++++++++++
You make a living by being a spy
Up for hire as a private eye
Covert operation, tap a telephone
Hack into a hard drive, youre on your own
The fear of death is what keeps you alive
A deadly mission you must survive
You lurk in shadows, darkness a friend
The lies begin and never end
Its not for glamour and it's not for fame
You have a number, not a name
You take your chances out on a limb
You make your chances not on a whim
Secret agent, your law is a gun
Secret agent, you trust no one
Secret agent, a man in black
Secret agent, a gun at your back
Got to get away with what you can
Got to make a secret plan
Secret agent man!
Truth is out there, you know its a lie
Trust no one, if you do you die
Government deployed, whats at stake?
Double agent out on the take
Charged with treason, secrets to sell
Signed in blood, a contract with hell
Followed orders, no questions asked
Suicide mission, could be your last
Secret agent, nothing to do
Secret agent, the cold war is through
Secret agent, its espionage
Secret agent, its sabotage
22. LIFE TO LEAD
(Lips, Reiner, Gyorffy, Hurd)
++++++++++++++++
You know Ive heard it all before, Ill hear it all again
I know just where Im going and I know just where Ive been
Ive seen so many come and go but somehow I survive
I know I will die someday, but Im glad to be alive
Glad to be alive
The strong survive
Ive got a life to lead, I care if I succeed
I got to find my way
Ive got a life to lead, I take just what I need
Thats where I will stay
Thats where Ill stay
I cant tell the future, I cant give a prophesy
Doing what it take to make my destiny
I cant help but wonder, but much to my surprise
Doing what I want with no trace of compromise
No compromise!
I tell no lies!
Ive got a life to lead, you know my soul is freed
Im finding my way
Ive got a life to lead, you know my soul is free
'Til the end of the day
I dont know who said it first, losers never last
Having no direction can make it end so fast
See so many come and go but somehow I survive
I know I will die someday, but Im glad to be alive
Glad to be alive
The strong survive
Ive got a life to lead, I am the hardened breed
I know the way
Ive got a life to lead, I am the hardened breed
You know Im here to stay
Here to stay!
23. PARK THAT TRUCK
(Lips, Reiner, Gyorffy, Hurd)
+++++++++++++++++++
Revenge's a dish best served when its cold
Im a predator, a wolf in the fold
Menace to society, a deranged psychopath
Im the bastard who brings on the blood bath
Taking vengeance out in the street
Im the criminal police cant defeat
Murder, mayhem my claim to fame
Brutal violence dominate my game
I want to destroy you and your kind
By now you know my vengeance is blind
I hate you all, you'll be the sacrifice
Be the victim of my explosive devise
Park it, park it, park it, park that truck
Park it, park it, park it, park that truck
Park that truck
Terrorism, anarchy is all that I crave
I want to see you all rot in your grave
Im the one that you least suspect
A social outcast that gets no respect
By now you know my vengeance is blind
I want to destroy you and your kind
Dont try to cross me, youll pay the price
Be a victim of my explosive device
-Verse 1-
Park it, park it, park that truck
Park it, park it, park it, park that truck
Park it, park it, park that truck
Park it, park it, park it, park that truck
Park that truck
Park that truck
24. KICK SOME ASS
(Lips, Reiner, Gyorffy, Hurd)
+++++++++++++++++
I take the fast lane everywhere I go
On the last train to where? I don't know
I'm never looking back
You know that that's a fact
You know that I don't care
I'll take on any dare
I cut my teeth to speedy rock 'n' roll
It's a great feat to score the winning goal
I am a hurricane
You know that I'm insane
Push me an you will see
Your butt is where my foot will be
Let's go kick some ass
Let's go raise some hell tonight
Let's go kick some ass
Do it 'cause it feels right
Let's go raise some hell tonight
Take me to a new height
Let's go kick some ass
Let's go raise some hell tonight
Let's go kick some ass
I pitch a fastball or slam a line drive
Don't take no pitfall the way I stay alive
You know I'll make it plain
You know I won't refrain
Push me an you will see
Your butt is where my foot will be
Let's go kick some ass
Let's go raise some hell tonight
Let's go kick some ass
Do it 'cause it feels right
Let's go raise some hell tonight
Take me to a new height
Let's go kick some ass
Let's go raise some hell tonight
Let's go kick some ass
Do it 'cause it feels right
Let's go kick some ass
Let's go kick some ass
Let's go kick some ass
Let's go kick some ass
25. VENGEANCE TO KILL
(Lips, Reiner, Gyorffy, Hurd)
+++++++++++++++++++++
I hate the world and everything that's in it
I want to kill them all, don't care if they know I did it
I pack a gun
I'm on the run
And I'm not afraid to use it
I hate the law and the justice system
I think it's sad there's no shred of wisdom
Turns my heart cold with hate
Years go by, now it's late
Chorus:
Vengeance to kill
Vengeance to kill
Vengeance to kill
Vengeance to kill
Vengeance to kill
Vengeance to kill
Vengeance to kill
Vengeance to kill
I hate the world and don't think I can change it
I want to kill them all but I'll probably never do it
I pack a pen
I hope I offend
And I'm not afraid to use it
Drive a point home to you
Is all that I want to do
-Chorus 2X-
Vengeance to kill
Vengeance to kill
Vengeance to kill
Vengeance to kill
Vengeance to kill
Back
