Me Against the world

Everybody is on my case
Everybody is in my face
People on the street, giving me grief
Just sick of it all sick to my back teeth
Am fed up having to deal with this shit
Oozing sludge from my cess pit
You know it really grinds my gears
Gonna take a swim in the river of beer
Me against the world
Everybody wants their pound of flesh
Paid immediately and with high interest
People on the street just wanna part of me
I wish they'd leave me alone why can't they see
My boss at work wants a word
Odious cretinous fuckin turd
Aint takin much to grind my gears
Gonna take a swim in the river of beer
Me against the world
Work Bank and family, all on the phone
Why can't they, leave me alone
A religious man tells me I should pray
I wish that he would go away
Doctor wants to pump me full of medication
Just helps to reinforce my sense of alienation
Pour sand into my gears
Gonna drown myself in the ocean of beers

Father of Lies

We all get taught, to lie to our kids
It starts at birth and gets laid on thick
we all went through, the same old scheme
Living indoctrination, of all our parents dreams
Its a layer upon layer of things not true
You really don't know what I can do
You won't believe what you will see
You'll never believe who I will be
A complex web of mass deceit
Another lie thats all so sweet
You'll never trust me that's no surprise
Im your father. the father of lies
Dont bother asking, where I've been
You'll not get the truth, just a load of spin
and I wouldn't want to waste, your precious time
so don't bother asking, as il say I'm just fine
Its a layer upon layer of things not true
You really don't know what I can do
You won't believe what you will see
You'll never believe who I will be
A complex web of mass deceit
Another lie thats oh so sweet
You'll never trust me that's no surprise
Im your father, the father of lies
Like a demigod, up there n the sky
I can do anything, just watch me fly
All of those lies, over all of those years
All of that blood and vomit and tears
Its a layer upon layer of things not true
You really don't know what I can do
You won't believe what you will see
You'll never believe who I will be
A complex web of mass deceit
Another lie that's oh so sweet
You'll never trust me that s no surprise
Im your father. the father of lies

All those cliches about it going fast.
As you realise you are becoming the past
Desperately trying to fight all your worst fears.
Destined to be forgotten within a few years
Nobody knows how long they’ve got.
Until your check out of life -that’s your lot
There will be no more trouble n strife.
Because there is no afterlife
Looking back in hindsight
You were always quick to fight.
And now you want to make it stop.
If you could just turn back that clock
So many times, you had no insight.
You truly believed that you were right.
Now you’re feeling the guilt of your crimes.
If you were Cher you could back time
The thought never entered your head.
That one day, you’d wake up dead.
You’ll live on, in memories.
but months and years not centuries
Your battle stories and tales of lust
Your past glories they’re nothing but dust.
Time moves on and it’s crushing you.
There is nothing you can do.
At some point, there will be a time.
When your name gets spoken for the very last time
Kissing goodbye to your wasted youth
And you realise you ain’t bullet proof.
Destined to be forgotten.
By all your peers
Destined to be forgotten.
All your worst fears
Destined to be forgotten.
No more tears
Destined to be forgotten.
Within a couple of years

Chased by Police and estate gangs.
Hordes and hordes of football fans
Chased by the skins and random drunks.
They want you dead. You are a punk.
Back at home-family full of gin
Still a strong chance to get your head kicked in
All the men Who refuse to understand?
All the men who think with boots and hands
The van pulls up and they all pile out.
They want you dead there is no doubt.
Generational trauma dished out for free.
Marinaded in male toxicity.
Never a change from the plan
Of how it is to be that man
Another casualty joins the list.
Don’t you know it’s always been like this?
Avoid the main roads, avoid the lights.
Try to keep out of sight.
Avoid the taxi rank and takeaway,
Learn to live another day.
Stick to edge lands and places no one goes.
Avoiding all your belligerent foes
In derelict buildings and empty flats
With the Pigeons and the rats
