Bike 00:57
50 x 17 lean, mean Krylon green No brakes, for god’s sake, stay out of my way I don’t fucking play, if you get out your car, the cops will need yellow tape 365/24/7, that’s right! Yeah, motherfucker, both goddamn day and night Bet your ass I ride my fucking bike! I’m no jock, it’s just I hate to walk And I can’t stand cars ‘less I’m going very far And I’d rather have SARS than ride the bus Plus I leave it in the dust on most days Johnny Blaze on the pedals Headphones baring metal Refuse to believe there’s anything more And wouldn't accept anything less It’s just like flying, you should really try riding Plus you should be living if you end up dying 365/24/7, that’s right! Yeah, motherfucker, both goddamn day and night Bet your ass I ride my fucking bike! In the winter I’m a warrior, summer I’m a king!

Me & Them 01:19
Not fit for human consumption Now so full of presumption Just like you patronizing fucks “I think your lifestyle really sucks” Just like you think of mine I want to see you fail I hate your happiness Your passive-aggressive underhandedness I hate your scene I don’t wanna be seen That’s why I’m not part of your fucking scene The fact that I make some folks happier than you You’d turn around and try to make me feel crappy 6 months later you’d do the same thing and all those dirty rigs, dirty rigs, dirty rigs ring a bell You used to be my best friend, now you can go to hell I give you no strife for your life I got my own vice and you do too So I don’t see what’s the big t’do As a matter of fact Fuck you! One of us has got to split ‘cause I’m sick of all your petty shit I’d kill myself for all of you That’s really what I oughta do Cuz I feel fine and don’t have the time For all the blah blah blah, blah blah blah! Kill myself for all of you that really what I oughta do As a matter of fact fuck all of you Cuz I feel fine and don’t have the fucking time

Nervous Fits 01:14
Tap my chest and run in place Try to displace all this anxiety Yell, scream, daydream Tell myself jokes about all you blokes Average, everyday folks, pigs in pokes 700 smokes drink, drink, drink and fidget and twitch Like the energy ball on my goddamn wrist Nothing’s amiss, but I can’t shake this Wisdom of the sage can’t help me now I feel like I could stop a train But I’d end up a stain Coke then speed then beer then liquor then cigarettes and Adderall I just can’t take it all Puking fits, nervous shit, making fists Clench my jaw, scratch my brain, I’m insane Puking fits, nervous shit, I can’t take it all It’s plain to see it’s too much anxiety for me

Nope, not this one.

Simple outlaw I’m feeling cold and ruthless Scour the earth scalping heads for money Saved one, strangely touched, you take a wife and child Work your days away as a humble farmer now You are the only one, you are the ruthless one And if your name was Jesse Custer I would fucking run A heart so cold you freeze the flames of hell go there to take on the devil and leave him dead Take the job of death, entombed in a mountain until you take on heaven itself You are the only one, you are the ruthless one And if your name was Jesse Custer I would fucking run Saint of Killers Through the frozen tundra now, to get the medication for your wife and child How many people had you shot that day How many cops had to die All those people in that bar “You can see I’m unarmed”, we’ll you can see I ain’t Powered by evil and not just by skill That’s why every shot, every fucking shot’s, a kill You are the ruthless one, you are the only one, Saint of Killers
6.
Boxed in, locked out What does it matter Any cause you stand for somebody thwarts you If I was your mom, I’d fucking abort you Pull the trigger and clap you Plus you get no dap, dude And when you talk I just want to slap you And all your opinions, well they’re crap too If you just except we failed Live your life to be happy You won’t change a thing Reach for your own brass ring Make a change for you Cause the world never will Eager anticipation of disappointment When you could just live for the moment If you just except we failed Standing on street corners Screaming to those you could never convert Self-endorsed corruption and your own self-destruction If you just except we failed Live your life to be happy You won’t change a thing Reach for your own brass ring Cause the world never will make a change for you Be your own martyr, live in your own skin You hope the worst for yourself You make the worst for yourself You could hope the best for yourself You might make the best, you might make the best

It’s so cold It’s so dark It’s been too long I can’t stand anyone I just wanna see the sun I don’t even fucking care I’ve been defeated by January Ain’t no warm December night Like a plant I need light Through the snow and slush I slide Try to put this all aside You can make it one more day You can’t drink this away I can’t stand anyone I just wanna see the sun I don’t even fucking care I’ve been defeated by January I always fight with my friends I just wanna see the end I’ve been defeated by January

You could never fade this, HA! You will never fade this No matter how hard you try!

Drowning in error but I don’t care Coughing fit until I’m sick La Brea Tar Pit, been smoking for years It punctuates my day Lets you know I’m mad so stay away Takes the pain away when I’m bored to tears It’s the worst decision I’ve made to this day Might as well throw my bike away First and last thing everyday I tried vapor I tried gum I think cancer’s when I’ll be done There’s a millions of dinosaurs running through my lungs Sticky like summertime chewing gum Stuck to the hot tar and asphalt Asphalt, asphalt, I’m the ass and it’s my fault It’s just default, it’s just default I’m the ass and it’s my fault A millions of dinosaurs

Wake up when you hear the beep Forty hours a work like a geek Twenty minute for lunch, you better eat You’re a good productive cog You’re a beautiful little machine But you gave your life away Yes, you sold it all away Till retirement day When you’ll have no energy and nothing left to say Time or Money? I only know what you show me You only get what you see I spend more time with you than the people that I love And that makes no sense to me It’s your time or money, what’s worth more? Give up and kill yourself or maybe just quit your job Time or money But you gave your life away Yes, you sold it all away Till retirement day When you’ll have no energy and nothing left to say Time or Money?

The average duration of intercourse in the United States of America is just under 2 minutes The average duration of human gestation is approximately 9 months Your minimum commitment as a “good” parent is 18 years, but more likely the rest of your life I don’t understand it, I can’t get behind it, I won’t endorse it, I’ll just never do it Most folks find it fascinating The notion of having your family expand Carry on the name when you’re gone But, if you weren’t there, who’d care? You just wanna see a part of you that ain’t evil But, bet that’s just a yet You’ll fuck ‘em up like your folks did you It’s all true, I hate children and pregnant ladies too Stop crying, you’re being silly No I don’t wanna touch your belly It’s for real, it’s not for me Them ugly pictures I just don’t wanna see Ain’t no fucking maybes, I hate pregnant ladies and babies

Half-Cocked 01:41
Heard about all the shit that’s been going down The stress and strife in my life Funny, no one thought to tell me Seems like it’s probably emotional debris Or maybe just your jealousy Yeah it seems like you’re just jealous of me You run around town, you run your mouth you’re half-cocked You talk your talk, you walk your walk, you’re half-cocked Seems like a bunch of emotional debris you’re half-cocked Seems like you’re just jealous of me, you’re half-cocked I get bored but I don’t lie I talk shit but I do it to your face Maybe that’s why I’m such a disgrace I just wanna give you a taste Before you ruin what’s left of my good graces Why don’t you keep your nose on your face Or maybe I should just smash your face The hammer of judgment swings so hard Judged and exiled, but you weren’t there We had a committee and deemed that you were shitty Put aside all you’ve done We’ve decided you were the one The scapegoat, exile, push away Half-Cocked
14.
It seems kinda petty It seems like something we could work through if we just talk about it But, you don’t fucking care And that’s why Sometime I fight with my friends But, that’s okay

Get in your SUV, go shopping Strap your kid down to the stroller Your mortgage rate is blooming Your credit cards are overdrawn Your degree is a piece of paper You’ll never buy your way out of that debt You’re wife is gonna leave you But, you never talk anyway Church group and bible study Jesus in religious theories 8-11 watch your digital dish Then dream of your digital wish Even the way you smell All the shit you buy and sell Best I could surmise, your life’s a fairy tale Charitable donation due to reborn pride in the nation Your political slogan t-shirt The way you act like you have feelings and they can get hurt One day, we’ll all breathe dirt Commercial radio makes me insane But, NPR’s just the same I smoke and drink whatever I do Just like they want me to Who’s better, me them or you? All of us are happily subdued Even the way you smell All the shit you buy and sell Best I could surmise, your life’s a fairy tale So you run from society And work the streets for change Leech from a society from which you fain disdain You can’t live off the grid when you act like a kid Jesus Christ, I wanna tear cuz you can’t buy your own beer Believe me, we’re as bad as them In our pipedream life With 40 ounces gems Can’t live off the grid when you live like a kid Save your fucking guns revolution will never come All that you prize is gone in the blink of an eye Cuz your life’s a fairy tale

Yes, We Can! 01:34
I woke November 5th My life was just the same Still living in the slow lane It seemed so strange I hear about all this change A rich Harvard grad in the Whitehouse Let’s all stop by for PBR and Cigs! Yes, we can - Continue our lives Yes, we can - As we always been Yes, we can - Drink and be merry Unless you’re gay - then you can’t get married Social security will come around And racism is over All wars will end Life will be a four year clover I wouldn’t even mind if I had to be sober Yes, we can - Continue our lives Yes, we can - As we always been Yes, we can - Drink and be merry Unless you’re gay - then you can’t get married Groceries are free, no anxiety We’ll all go off our meds bought by the feds The sun will shine 24 hours a day No work just run and play Because we’ll still ship all our jobs away Yes, we can - Continue our lives Yes, we can - As we always been Yes, we can - Drink and be merry Unless you’re gay - then you can’t get married Just like a baby with 10 fingers and toes Everybody knows the president has no real control He’s just another politician, so I petition See it for what it is: Status Quo Yes, We Can - Yes, He Can Yes, We Can - Yes, He Can Yes, We Can - Yes, He Can Yes, We Can - Yes, We Can!

released November 3, 2010

This is the way it worked:
Chuck Rock wrote the lyrics and sang the songs.

Adomski Von Doom wrote music and played the guitar.

Jef Porkins wrote music, played the bass and sang back-ups.

Nate Higley played the trap kit and sang back-ups.

Dave Niles recorded and mastered the album at the Drawing Room in Dexter, MI in the late winter of 2010. Thanks, Dave.
Nick Albert helped Dave engineer the initial recording session. They’re brothers and good people. Thanks, Nick.
Adam Druckman & Audrey Becker made us food in the studio (in their house) because everything in Dexter fucking shuts down at 9pm. Thanks, folks.
Vince Locke drew the sweet cover art based on a dumb idea we had while sitting around dreaming about all this after practice one day. Thanks, Vince.

While one person may bring a song to the table, that song only takes shape due to each and every member’s input and arrangement. All the songs were written by Suicide By Cop, except the obvious rip-off of an obvious rip-off written about not ripping off stuff.
