Oh we'll play all our songs in the order in which they were written
And we'll bore them all to tears
and we'll slam a few more beers
and they'll come up to us and say "You're all a bunch of fuckin' queers"
Oh we'll play all our songs in the order in which they were written
And we'll clear out the room
cuz they won't wanna stick around
and they'll say better luck next time
but it's okay cuz we know that we suck
oh we'll play all our songs in the order in which they were written
and they'll boo us off the stage
and we'll hang our heads in shame
but we won't make a fuss
it's just a part of being us
We are The Butts!

The Texas Observer

Back in the city where i come from there is an unknown
wealthy middle aged man who lives all alone
in a big old house in the conservative wing
down on the south side
still, he'd escape society to go away and hide
so he heads straight for the green belt
with his ninety dollar utility belt
that he bought at R.E.I.
he brings trail mix and beef cakes
Vitamins and Myoplex health shakes
yeah he's an outdoor kind of guy
he's home in time to watch the daily show
on his fifty inch plasma screen
on the way home he stops by whole foods
to pick up some organic greens
he decided a long time ago to leave his wife and kids behind
they never liked him much anyway surly they wouldn't mind
it was around the same time that his mid life crisis hit
this suburban utopia suddenly was shit
so he packed up everything
every single belonging
and he knew just where to go
in the heart of the greenbelt
cuz that's where he most felt
just like henry david thoreau
he brought an eighty mile long extension cord
so he could watch Saturday night live
he fell asleep just before eleven thirty
then he wet the bed and died
his body was found the next night
by a bum beneath the moonlight
he was shipped back to the city
his wake was attended by one
the only daughter from whom he'd run
she didn't cry as she read his eulogy
"Here lies the one and only texas observer. He had his priorities all wrong. He'll never get the chance to know his daughter now that he's dead and gone."

Succubus

Well I don't know exactly which planet that you came from.
And I don't care, if you act like a total stuck up bitch.
I can tell you got some real problems,
so, my dear, I'm afraid I may have to call it quits
She sucks the life right out of me
Won't let me go, won't let me be
And I keep coming back for more
I conclude with every thrust I've fallen for a succubus tonight.
You wear a mask and play it so fucking cool.
But you don't know,
that everyone can see right through you.
You bait the line and drop the lure,
I take the bite pretty much every single time
She sucks the life right out of me
Won't let me go, won't let me be
And I keep coming back for more
I conclude with every thrust I've fallen for a succubus tonight.

What To Do
02:22
|

So you're not very popular at school
the pretty girls and cool kids all make fun of you
the teaching staff all think you're really dumb
the vice principal sodomized with his thumb
Listen to me carefully and I'll tell you what to do
bring some loaded guns to school
and make them wish they never heard of you
It's the same old story (story)
I heard a million times before (times before)
You stupid idiot (idiot)
You never should have listened to me
The building is surrounded, the cops are closing in
you don't see any real way you can win
you can hear the swat team coming down the hall
you wish you'd never been born at all
Listen to me carefully and I'll tell you what to do
Commit suicide and wave all consequence goodbye
It's the same old story (story)
I heard a million times before (times before)
You stupid idiot (idiot)
You never should have listened to me
Listen to me carefully and I'll tell you the truth
My name is Satan and I'm here to ruin you!
It's the same old story (story)
I heard a million times before (times before)
You stupid idiot (idiot)
You never should have listened to me

Milk & Honey

The moor is cold and the grass is wet
the morning fog rolls in
you can sense a stillness in the air
the attack is coming soon
but I don't know when
I can't wait to witness the doom
an explosion in the sky
I watch ten thousand people die
from the comfort of my bunker
buildings crash down to the ground
smoke and flames totally surround the city
as i watch it crumble
i give my orders to the troops
they go marching in
there are bound to be survivors
about three hundred still remain
they look depressed
they've no idea what's in store for them
we round them up like they're livestock
most of them go into shock
when we herd them onto busses
there's a speaker turned up loud
where you can hear my voice so proudly
repeating their directions
"Come with me peacefully, food and shelter (milk and honey) will be provided for you and your family, just remember, work will set you free."

What a Horrible World
02:26
|
|||
Well I see dumps of toxic waste
Cancer cells that will mutate
just to kill some innocent
Kids who don't need punishment
Well I see skies of gray and red
countless civilians lay dead
homeless people line the streets
with nothing for them to eat
And I say to myself,
What a horrible world
Well I see acts of homicide
not to mention genocide
A hundred years of slavery
and we called it Land of the Free
Guns designed to kill and maim
skies are filled with airplanes
swooping in to drop the bombs
and finally wipe out everyone
And I say to myself,
What a horrible world

Awesome Song

I've got the biggest truck in town
and I've got the biggest dick around
and i like to fly my rebel flag
and i call everyone a fag
my testicles are immense
i like to have fun at your expense
and I'll probably live in this town forever
and never ever ever ever ever ever
do anything remotely interesting
well i hate everyone i see
when kids are active sexually
when the cops are so corrupt and mean
and meth is obtained so easily
and everyone's so fucking drunk
and the bands all stopped playing punk
and i really hate to sound so conceited
but growing up here's made me feel kinda cheated
i really ought to get the fuck out of here

Teenage War Vets

The high school gymnasium was full
with friends and family on hand for graduation
and when the announcement was made for the kids who joined the corps
those brave boys received a standing O
They were shipped out three weeks later to the day
the drill sergeant was cruel, he always made them pay
for every single mistake, and every single slip
completely demoralizing each and every little shit
they were referred to as every awful name
useless little maggots, this ain't a fucking game
but they stuck together and were able to recover and finally they discovered that
they all got some itchy trigger fingers
and they're just a bunch of kids
they find themselves in Baghdad summer 2003
assigned to take out Saddam and set his people free
as they began their mission
they felt way over their heads
of the 13 of them 7 would wind up dead
the enemies used tactics they had never seen
like using little children as protective human screens
when faced with this situation in this horrible condition it's a shame i must mention that
they all got some itchy trigger fingers
and they're just a bunch of kids

This Awful Mess
01:53
|

I just got out of prison
you should have seen my probation hearing
the parole board bought every word i said
they were really feeling
the bullshit i was dealing them
though i still remain, oh so quite insane
and they'll be sorry
for setting me free
cuz i don't plan on changing anything that makes me me
and they all said
i was rehabilitated
all i had to do was pretend that i found christ
now i'm free to wander
murder, rape, and squander
the good names of the ones who let me out
and as i head upstairs
i set my sights on her
then i think about
who's gonna have to clean up this awful mess

What We've Become
02:44

your shallow judge of character leaves me undisturbed
you tell me to get a life and get over her
petty as a smell cheap as a dime
every time i think of you the sun gets in my eyes
and I'm not saying you're wrong
but where is this aggression from?
it's this attitude this "p.m.a."
this band of clay telling us what we've become
mommy went to vegas because she couldn't stand us
daddy left to live the good life in texas
while my dad's at the bar, grandpa pays his rent
does it feel good to judge what i can't prevent?
it was that sucker punch from a friend of mine
nurturing to the grapevine
that first time i drank, i have you to thank
for what I've become
all this fighting no more friendship
no more hanging in my basement

Second To All
07:38

the worst band that you'll ever see
lacking talent and maturity
not skilled at any instrument
can the crowd endure more punishment?
come one come all
come watch us take a fall
we'll suck total balls cuz we're second to all
the first band to get cut from the bill
the band the others would like to kill
the band that's having way more fun
the opposite of second to none
come one come all
come watch us take a fall
we'll suck total balls
because we are second to all
