Primer (Anniversary Edition)

by Whiskey HellChild

/
1.
SMOKE IN YOUR EYE (D. Sheffield/T. Harwood) Green & dizzy The monkey on your back is comin' home Feeding frenzy You take all you can get when you're alone Blind & pissy Your promises are weak and dry as bone Everybody's after me lookin' for a tragedy Gotta have a reason to die Gonna take it all from me, agony & ecstacy With smoke in your eyes Rollercoaster stopped Your sunny skies are slowly turning black It's lonely at the top Once you taste the fear you can't go back A chainsaw in a butcher shop I'm gonna hit you like a heart attack Chorus Solo - Dale & Terry Locked & loaded Open season on the ones who care Something exploded A hail of bullets slicing through the air Judgement corroded You'll be free in your electric chair Chorus 2x
2.
GRAVE DIGGER (D. Sheffield/T. Harwood) i've seen the earth die twice paid for sins with my sacrifice all alone buried underground scream to myself in the lost and found the sun don't shine i'm dying to be saved a slave to time here i rot while you dig my grave ive heard the voice of doom as i sleep in my darkened room say a prayer for the dying man when i go will you hold my hand? chorus solo - Dale i've felt the chill of the night been forever since i've seen the light say a prayer when i'm laid to rest place a rose upon my chest chorus 2x
3.
THE REAPING (D. Sheffield/T. Harwood) Blood red oceans paint the sky Mother earth she shuts her eyes A touch of pain like we can only do On her back like hordes of fleas Can't see the forest for the trees Pervert it til there's nothing left for you The human plague without a cure Will our legacy endure? Will our children think we did them wrong? Choking on synthetic trust The system grinds our dreams to dust We've damaged our own lives for far too long We can see your lies The secrets that you're keeping Wounded twisted pride The broken man is bleeding Are we hypnotized? The whole wide world is sleeping Darkened planet vandalized Soon it's time for the reaping Count your blessings while they last Your future now becomes your past The golden calf is not your deity Time to bite the hand that feeds All our wants outweigh our needs The culprit here looks just like you and me Chorus Solo - Dale Soon it's time for the reaping Count your blessings while they last Your future now becomes your past The golden calf is not your deity Time to bite the hand that feeds All our wants outweigh our needs The culprit here looks just like you and me Chorus Solo - Dale Soon it's time for the reaping
4.
INVISIBLE (D. Sheffield/T. Harwood) It's not unusual to find a place to hide It's like a ritual when I feel the hate inside Is it mutual? You're the one for me Is it sexual? That's the way it has to be I'm not invisible There's no one else to blame I'm not the invisible man You don't even know my name It's only natural for me to be this way It's not consensual The way I wanna play Chorus Solo - Terry Is it chemical the way you make me feel? Is it possible that you were never real? Chorus 2x
5.
SHIT KICKIN' (D. Sheffield/T. Harwood) Well I'm a son of the south, born and raised And yet I'm still amazed With all the bullshit comin' from your mouth About the way that I am, and what I am And how I do not give a damn When the outside man tries to rob me blind Just like Uncle Sam I'm a wanted man I got no time but I got big plans Whiskey HellChild Got the throttle open and I'm runnin' wild It's the damage done I'm lookin' out for number one On the run One shit kickin' black heart son of a gun Now you can call me a fool, I don't care But you best beware Cause I can bring the pain with such a simple tool With a kick of the pan, stroke of my hand I can take you to the high command And you could understand That highway is my holy land Chorus Solo - Dale Well I was born in the south, and hell was raised And yet I'm still unphased This fuckin' bullshit fallin' from your mouth About the way that I am, and what I am And I still do not give a damn When the inside man tries to rob me blind Just like Uncle Sam Chorus
6.
SWEET & LOW (D. Sheffield/T. Harwood) She's been walkin' the streets again Got to find a lover It's party time when the daylight ends She's out to find another Uh, Alright Hey little mama I know you got a secret Gimme some sweet & low Hey all the people know you got a secret Tell me how low can you go? She got a dirty little body to sell She's incognito And you know she's gonna do it well Love you from head to toe Aw, Alright Chorus Solo - Dale She gonna wrap me in her lovin' arms But will it cost me? That's when she told me it was 50 clams And that's when she lost me HA, No way Chorus 2x
7.
AT THE GATES OF HELL (D. Sheffield/T. Harwood) Blood in your eyes but your hands are clean Now they've locked you away The innocent die because of your lies And you're there to stay Said you were God and fed 'em some pills So your flock must obey You're a punchline to a tasteless joke A psychopath cliche I'm the man who takes the pain away I'll be here until your judgement day Throw your pennies down the wishing well All I'll meet you at the gates of hell White Bronco speeds away from the scene with some blood inside It's your DNA all over the place But the crime you've denied If the glove doesn't fit then you must aquit But justice isn't blind Not every man gets the dream team Let the world decide Chorus I'm the cause of suffering, you see An endless imagination of misery You had better live properly Cause sooner or later you come to me Solo - Terry Blood on your hands, blood on the streets From your master plan Strike down the weak eliminate To shield a sinister man Purge the unclean and gather the wealth From the fatherland Cleansing the nation with fire and hate under your command Chorus
8.
THE STRANGER (D. Sheffield/T.Harwood) I've seen the road behind that leads me home Some place I went to hide but now it's gone I walked a million miles to break your heart But these memories, they tear me apart And it's been so long since you ripped my soul into And it's been too long now I'm comin' back to you Seasons change and so do I There's never time for a last goodbye Lovers come and lovers go We're all just players in a TV show I know my love it don't live here anymore And i'll always be, and i'll always be the stranger I walked the line and now my journey is done A tragic comic with an empty gun I'd kill myself just to see you smile But your broken promises make it seem worthwhile Chorus Solo-Dale Chorus Solo-Terry
9.
S.T.F.U. (D. Sheffield/T. Harwood) Who are you to change my ways And tell me I'm livin' in sin Who are you to disrespect? Tell me where I went so wrong again I can't take anymore of your religious lore Conrtradicting the truth With the sinner removed Don't lay your blame on me It's gonna take the hand of God To make me slave to your society It's gonna take the angel's fist To make me a slave of your conformity yeah Who are you to pray for me And cry for my damnation Who are you to point and stare And stone me with your propogation Bridge/Chorus Bass solo - Terry Solo - Dale Who are you to twist the words And tell me I'm gonna burn Who are you to bend the rules? Enough to make my stomach turn Chorus 2x
10.
ROUTE 666 (D.Sheffield/T. Harwood) On the devil's highway, pedal to the floor Gotta ride the thunder And I'm comin' back for more White knuckle nightmare, shiftin' down too fast Gonna put the hammer down I know I'll never last Driving in the fast lane in a dead man's turn Gotta taste the danger I was always born to burn Speeding like a madman, one hand on the wheel Got a Hemi in my pocket And a dick that's hard as steel Red light, Green light GO GO GO Bound for glory runnin' fast & low Gasoline I'm runnin' out of tricks Gotta get my kicks on Route 666 Harmony Solo - Terry / Solo 2 - Dale Only the good die young or so they say Don't need no memories I'm livin' for today Motor oil & cigarettes, 20 foot of Cadillac Drivin' myself away from here And I ain't never comin' back Chorus / Solo - Dale
11.
DESPERATION Part I (D.Sheffield/T. Harwood) Desperation calls to me Break these chains and set me free Time to lay it on the line and leave this life behind Desperation in the light of day Hope is just a world away Time to lay it on the line and leave this hell behind
12.
DESPERATION Part II (D.Sheffield/T. Harwood) Tell your friends I'm comin' home I ain't gonna stay in here alone I gotta see the light of day Somehow I will find a way 60 days down in the hole Makes the warden feel control How can I end this punishment? When I give him sweet torment Desperation, Life is killing me Deliverance, The truth will set me free Midnight hour is soon at hand The time has come to set the plan 15 years have come and passed I feel the freedom in my grasp Chorus / Solo 1 & 2 - Dale Clawed my way from the pit of hell Earned my scars and I wear them well Bloodhounds search for where I hide But I came out clean on the other side Chorus 2x
