"I had rather be a dog and bay the moon..." - Brutus (Act IV, scene 3)
"I'm done fucking around," - jss
Gather all the bad men in town
Line them all up and cut them all down
I'm done fucking around
We dug a mass grave in the center of town
Shoveled the earth right in their mouths
Gathered all the bad men in town
Lined them all up and cut them all down
I'd rather be a dog and bay the moon
Than spend another minute in this room
All their words taken from the womb
All their promises turned to boons
I'd rather be a dog and bay the moon
Than spend another minute in this room
I'm done fucking around
In the silence we found
From the earth we shoveled in their mouths
We dug a mass grave in the center of town
Lined them all up and we cut them all down
I'm done fucking around
Gather all the bad men in town
Line them all up and cut them all down
I'm done fucking around
We dug a mass grave in the center of town
Shoveled the earth right in their mouths
I'm done fucking around

So which one's which?
I don't feel or I don't fit in or I don't want it?
I'm stuck playing the one who keeps pissing along
Who keeps running back to the front
But I can lay in the black like water in the bath
So which one's which?
I don't get it or I'm too tired or I don't want it?
I'm stuck playing the one who keeps pissing along
Who keeps running back in the house
But I can lay in the black like water in the bath
I'm so certain that I'll change my act
Sense of self like a pane of glass
Another 30 years to get it all back

If this is it, I don't feel it and I don't want it
I've got too much to say and far too much claim
in a thousand frivolous things
To ask "which one" takes the piss out of the game, out of my name,
but I can lay in the black
So this is it. I don't buy it and I don't want it.
All the flights have been delayed, the bridge sunk in the lake,
and I'm left behind all the same.
To ask "which one" takes the piss out of the game, out of my name,
but I can lay in the black

Big Guy

They told me you're some big shot, big guy
Well, come up to the front of the line
Come on up and claim your prize
You're energized. You're worthwhile.
You're who I fantasize complimenting me on my current shirt size
You're everything and more, guy.
Big shot, big guy.
Big guy...
Come up to the front of the line
Big guy...
You deserve a hell of a prize
You're energized. You're worthwhile
You're who I fantasize complimenting me on my current shirt size
You're telling me that everything will be alright
Alright, you said that everything would be fine
I just hope that it all works out...
Everything will work out
Everything will work and if it won't, it was pretty to think so
I had a dream
That everything was working out
Big guy came up and helped me out
I had a dream I was filled with doubt
And then some big guy came and helped me out
You helped me out...

Light in the tunnel
At last, see me coming
I'm light in the tunnel at last...
So I ask: make believe for me
Break into me, work your way through the maze
(I don't want to break)

Some Dogs

Brother, I am fire
Feel me surging underneath your feet
German Shepherds dead in the gutters
Some dogs never make it to heaven
I can feel their teeth
Sister, your chalice
King Wicker's underneath the street
Chubby shepherds drained in the gutters
Some dogs have got another thing coming
I can hear their teeth chatter in the chalice
Can't you hear their teeth chatter in the chalice?
I lost the light in me, the light in you is all I see
Can't you hear their teeth?
