Sometimes we just need a little screaming

Skid Row. Scream. That’s what they do. And it’s bloody marvellous! So angsty. haha. when they said guitars can talk they knew what they were talking about.
Who says rock music doesn’t mean anything? Social circumcision, friendship. Angsty but hey listen to the words above the guits and the truth will be discovered.
“those who feel the breath of sadness,
sit down next to me
those who find they’re touched by madness,
sit down next to me,
those who find themselves ridiculous,
sit down next to me…” - Sit Down, James (1992)
Wasted Time
You and I together in our lives
Sacred ties will never fray
why can’t I let let myself tell lies
and watch u die every day
I think back to the times
when dreams were what mattered
tough talking youth naiveity
you said you’d never let me down
but the horse stampedes and rages
in the name of desperation
Chorus
is it all just wasted time?
can you look at yourself
when you think of what you left behind?
is it all just wasted time?
can you live with yourself
when you think of what you left behind?
paranoid delusions they haunt you
where’s my friend I used to know?
he’s all alone, he’s buried deep within
a carcass searching for a soul
can u feel it inside
your heart as it’s bleeding,
why can’t u believe u can be loved?
I hear u scream in agony
and the horse stampedes and rages
in the name of desperation
…
I never thought you’d let it get this far boy.
Monkey Business
Outside my window there’s a
Whole lot of trouble comin’ the cartoon killers and the rag cover clones
Stack heels kickin’ rhythm
Of social circumcision
Can“t close the closet on
Shoe box full of bones
Kangaroo lady with her bourbon
In a pouch
Can’t afford the rental on
A bamboo couch
Collecting back her favors ’cause her
Well is running dry
I know her act is terminal,
But she ain’t gonna die
Slim intoxicado drinkin’ dime
Store hooch
Is always in a circle with his
Part-time pooch
Little creepy’s playing dollies in the
New york rain
Thinkin’ Bowie’s just a knife
Ooh the pain
I ain’t seen the sun since I don’t
Know when
The freaks come out at nine
And it’s twenty to ten
What’s this funk
That you call junk
To me it’s just monkey business
Blind man in the Box that will
Probably die
The village kids laugh as they walk by
A psycho is on the edge of this human
Garbage dump
And the vultures in the sewers
Are telling
Him to jump
Into the fire from the frying pan
Tripping on his tongue
For a cool place to stand
Where’s this shade
That you’ve got it made
To me it’s just monkey business
Monkey business
Slippin’ on the track
Monkey business
Jungle in black
Ain’t your business if I got
No monkey on my back
Monkey business
Slippin’ on the track
Monkey business
Jungle in black
Ain’t your business
If I got
Monkey’s on my back
The vaseline gypsies and silicone souls
Dressed to the society
Hypocrite heartbeat and cheap alibis
Can’t get you by that monkey
