Just when I thought my work was done
You had to go and pull it
Just when you thought your luck had one
I got another bullet
My hands are tired but I've got strength to fire
And every time I watch the t.v. new
I sharpen my sword
And every time I'm watching videos
The list grows some more
But I've got so many things to do
I'll light the spark take this world from the dark
Each laugh is another bruise
Each remark is another noose
I'm getting pissed now and you made the list
Think of all the CEO's that fortune smiled upon
500 little maggos make the list a bit too long
In my mind I know all things in good time
Time has come and I don't know exactly where to start
I've got so many names but then you're such an easy mark
When sundown comes the list will shrink one by one
I'll lay a fart, tear this whole world apart........

O.k.f.m.d.o.a Lyrics By Dillinger Four
Witness a jaded town
got some champagne for a forty ounce frown
I've worked my theories through
already half dead and nothing more to lose
Forget now what we've got
and all your old stories celebrating wounds
I've heard enough of "those days are gone"
because there's never time to play the fool
Come on, kill the lights with trouble make
come on, smash the light and celebrate
let's tie a yellow ribbon around the necks
of the motherfuckers living for the giving in
move with the rogue set choking out the radio
a thousand voices booming out in stereo
from top to bottom knock them down like dominoes
Why wake up in the past
with well-framed pages from the book of rules
I've heard enough of "where were you then"
because I don't give a shit about collecting dues
I saw it coming now it happens all the time
first you had a D.I.Y. chip on your shoulder
then you got an ego fifty fanzines wide
don't give me those eyes
that confidence you're selling I won't buy
maybe the costume fits
but the script's still shit
got some champagne for a forty ounce frown
I've worked my theories through
already half dead and nothing more to lose
Forget now what we've got
and all your old stories celebrating wounds
I've heard enough of "those days are gone"
because there's never time to play the fool
Come on, kill the lights with trouble make
come on, smash the light and celebrate
let's tie a yellow ribbon around the necks
of the motherfuckers living for the giving in
move with the rogue set choking out the radio
a thousand voices booming out in stereo
from top to bottom knock them down like dominoes
Why wake up in the past
with well-framed pages from the book of rules
I've heard enough of "where were you then"
because I don't give a shit about collecting dues
I saw it coming now it happens all the time
first you had a D.I.Y. chip on your shoulder
then you got an ego fifty fanzines wide
don't give me those eyes
that confidence you're selling I won't buy
maybe the costume fits
but the script's still shit

Who Didn't Kill Bambi Lyrics By Dillinger Four
You know your eyes say it's dead inside of you
Just and empty shell with faded tattoos
And everything's just a memory
And every day is just a passing of time
You used to be a time bomb
Did you notice when the lights started to go out
Welcome it with a smile and your arms out
And now it's all so much easier
Bury yourself in banality and comfort
Never waking for a moment
We are alive
And just like the sun will kill the night
We bring the change to something new
Cuz we know change threatens you
And there's nothing left of you to save
And each step forward that you take
Is just one closer to the grave
You let the years go by, an endless parade
As meaningless as the promises you've made
And you'll wonder where it all went
When the last of your effort is spent
And you're still left hollow
Will you watch all your life from the outside
Will you march to then end placid and paralyzed
Or will you take it in one shot without a chaser
And let go
Just and empty shell with faded tattoos
And everything's just a memory
And every day is just a passing of time
You used to be a time bomb
Did you notice when the lights started to go out
Welcome it with a smile and your arms out
And now it's all so much easier
Bury yourself in banality and comfort
Never waking for a moment
We are alive
And just like the sun will kill the night
We bring the change to something new
Cuz we know change threatens you
And there's nothing left of you to save
And each step forward that you take
Is just one closer to the grave
You let the years go by, an endless parade
As meaningless as the promises you've made
And you'll wonder where it all went
When the last of your effort is spent
And you're still left hollow
Will you watch all your life from the outside
Will you march to then end placid and paralyzed
Or will you take it in one shot without a chaser
And let go

Get Your Study Hall Outta My Recess Lyrics By Dillinger Four
You were first in line for the new solution
But you lost your shirt singing revolution
The blood is at a boil
What we were is null and void
And you will change your ways
Cuz these ones didn't pay
Let's call the future what it is
Diluted hope and shackled wrists
I kinda think we need a brand new name
I don't give a shit about your style or your false emotion
Your picture perfect hair or your manic motion
The danger is all gone
You've helped us lose it all along
Now it's just play clap play
the meaning's gone astray
Let's call the future what it is
Diluted hope and shackled wrists
I'm kinda waiting for a brand new name
This one will never feel the same
When that day comes
I'll be kicking back, not a care in sight
Never waste another moment trying to explain my side
Not missing you at all, never looking back
Never having to apologize for what you lack
When that day comes
I'll be smiling while you're crucified for what you've done
But you lost your shirt singing revolution
The blood is at a boil
What we were is null and void
And you will change your ways
Cuz these ones didn't pay
Let's call the future what it is
Diluted hope and shackled wrists
I kinda think we need a brand new name
I don't give a shit about your style or your false emotion
Your picture perfect hair or your manic motion
The danger is all gone
You've helped us lose it all along
Now it's just play clap play
the meaning's gone astray
Let's call the future what it is
Diluted hope and shackled wrists
I'm kinda waiting for a brand new name
This one will never feel the same
When that day comes
I'll be kicking back, not a care in sight
Never waste another moment trying to explain my side
Not missing you at all, never looking back
Never having to apologize for what you lack
When that day comes
I'll be smiling while you're crucified for what you've done

Doublewhiskeycokenoice Lyrics By Dillinger Four
Sometimes it's simple things that make it hard
Spoiled baby T's with credit cards
Overtime always on my mind
Could have been's eat away in side now
Praise God and pass the bottle of Beam
Because tonight I can't seem to say what I mean
Don't know if I would even if I could, Amen
Somehow this seems like borrowed time
Pay it no mind, everything is fine
But sometimes I'd rather hear laughter while this whole place died
A johnny jump-up is a lovely thing
A pint of cider and some whiskey
I had four dead inside of me
Just to hear this jackass sing his line about
How he used to hang out somewhere "back in the day"
Knowing terms only that an asshole would say
So I sat there drinking more
Thinking about drinking more
Nelson Algren came to me
And said clebrate the ugly things
The beat up side of what they call pride
could be the measure of these days
God save Otis Redding because I know he's never gone
As sick falls from this mouth hear me sing it wrong
Is it "cigarettes and coffee" now or Dreams to be Remembered
I'll leave regrets for dead and sing along
So I'm reaching for the phone I don't want to be alone
I want to get some friends here tonight
I got a basement full of booze and some blues to lose
I'll ignore the whole world tonight
It will be alright
Spoiled baby T's with credit cards
Overtime always on my mind
Could have been's eat away in side now
Praise God and pass the bottle of Beam
Because tonight I can't seem to say what I mean
Don't know if I would even if I could, Amen
Somehow this seems like borrowed time
Pay it no mind, everything is fine
But sometimes I'd rather hear laughter while this whole place died
A johnny jump-up is a lovely thing
A pint of cider and some whiskey
I had four dead inside of me
Just to hear this jackass sing his line about
How he used to hang out somewhere "back in the day"
Knowing terms only that an asshole would say
So I sat there drinking more
Thinking about drinking more
Nelson Algren came to me
And said clebrate the ugly things
The beat up side of what they call pride
could be the measure of these days
God save Otis Redding because I know he's never gone
As sick falls from this mouth hear me sing it wrong
Is it "cigarettes and coffee" now or Dreams to be Remembered
I'll leave regrets for dead and sing along
So I'm reaching for the phone I don't want to be alone
I want to get some friends here tonight
I got a basement full of booze and some blues to lose
I'll ignore the whole world tonight
It will be alright

It's A Fine Line Between The Monkey And The Robot Lyrics By Dillinger Four
Spend a day trying to sum it up with one quotation
Spend a lifetime as a model of the phrase
Modern man automated to withhold our thoughts with hesitation
Life of redundancy with single mind and double face
And I got to wonder where such a small man got so much hate
Got our own opinions but don't throw them on the open floor
Get lost in the repetition and don't want to hear them anymore
Thousands of us dead today, thousands went unfed today
And all we talk about's the fucking weather
Got your fingers in your ear because you've heard it all before
Roll your eyes as if there's nothing left to say
Here it is nothing's changing and I think that's something
We can not ignore
Dismiss your boredom because I won't be what you became
Life's so happy over there on the sidelines
Ant that's where you'll stay
Got our own opinions but don't throw them on the open floor
Get lost in repetition and don't want to hear them anymore
Thousands of us dead today, thousands went unfed today
And all we talk about's the fucking weather
And I'll keep singing the same songs
I'm sorry if you're bored now
But I can't understand spending life ignoring
The other side of the story
Spend a lifetime as a model of the phrase
Modern man automated to withhold our thoughts with hesitation
Life of redundancy with single mind and double face
And I got to wonder where such a small man got so much hate
Got our own opinions but don't throw them on the open floor
Get lost in the repetition and don't want to hear them anymore
Thousands of us dead today, thousands went unfed today
And all we talk about's the fucking weather
Got your fingers in your ear because you've heard it all before
Roll your eyes as if there's nothing left to say
Here it is nothing's changing and I think that's something
We can not ignore
Dismiss your boredom because I won't be what you became
Life's so happy over there on the sidelines
Ant that's where you'll stay
Got our own opinions but don't throw them on the open floor
Get lost in repetition and don't want to hear them anymore
Thousands of us dead today, thousands went unfed today
And all we talk about's the fucking weather
And I'll keep singing the same songs
I'm sorry if you're bored now
But I can't understand spending life ignoring
The other side of the story

File Under Adult Urban Contemporary Lyrics By Dillinger Four
Watch them laugh unashamed
When they fear your rights away
They're counting on your silence
Broken down by weight
Of the climate they create
Psychological Violence
And it's all for one
And none for us
Just pretend you don't see it
Try to blame only one
But accept that we've become
A system that feeds it
We've taken a beating
The crooked arm of the law
Authority over-reaching
Dignity crushed in its claws
Take a look around
Won't be long before you found
Blatant intimidation
At the hands of a few
Decorated all in blue
They suppress the accusations
Keep your head bowed down
And don't look back
Keep your hands in your pockets
People have died for less than that
Made one wrong move
They got it in the back
The moment of outrage
Matters not in the least
A little slap on the wrist
Welcome to the belly of the beast
Little men with little minds
Little roles that they define
These things are connected
Trust them with power
Without thinking twice
Every man has got a price
Do you feel protected?
The chance is too much to resist
To hold another under your fist
I'd like to believe that
Each time another's lost
Something is gained
The blue becomes a
Reddish stain
And we are reminded
Of who they really are
When they fear your rights away
They're counting on your silence
Broken down by weight
Of the climate they create
Psychological Violence
And it's all for one
And none for us
Just pretend you don't see it
Try to blame only one
But accept that we've become
A system that feeds it
We've taken a beating
The crooked arm of the law
Authority over-reaching
Dignity crushed in its claws
Take a look around
Won't be long before you found
Blatant intimidation
At the hands of a few
Decorated all in blue
They suppress the accusations
Keep your head bowed down
And don't look back
Keep your hands in your pockets
People have died for less than that
Made one wrong move
They got it in the back
The moment of outrage
Matters not in the least
A little slap on the wrist
Welcome to the belly of the beast
Little men with little minds
Little roles that they define
These things are connected
Trust them with power
Without thinking twice
Every man has got a price
Do you feel protected?
The chance is too much to resist
To hold another under your fist
I'd like to believe that
Each time another's lost
Something is gained
The blue becomes a
Reddish stain
And we are reminded
Of who they really are
