No More

To M.T.

When you say that you love me
I think you don't know what you mean
I think you love having someone to love
When I say that I love you
It means I'll never make you blue
And you're the only one I'm thinking of

See, I've played this game you're playing
But I don't get what you're saying
See, we had something you just pissed away
You said it doesn't change a thing
You're not with him when you're with me
But what you do with him affects us anyway

I just can't take this anymore
Just can't take it no more
Said I just can't take it any more
Just can't take this no more

Well, I hope he makes you smile
Cause this will only last a while
Pretty soon you'll come crawling back to me
But when you come back around
There'll be a new girl that I've found
Who knows the meaning of loyalty

I just can't take this anymore
Just can't take it no more
Said I just can't take it any more
Just can't take this no more

At a Theater Near You

Words: Merlo
Music: Merlo

There's a family of four out for the night 'cause they can't communicate
And there's a guy who's spending way too much on soda and popcorn for his date
There's a couple of twelve-year-olds who asked some old folks to get them in
And they're hoping this new starlet's gonna show a little skin

See the sights, see the action
The movie's not the main attraction
We play our little social games
But when we lose, who do we blame?

There's a couple of high-school jocks in the back row looking for some chicks
And there's some ugly girls up in the front who want to suck their dicks
There's a couple of kids from out of town looking for some seats
'Cause there's a new DeNiro movie that they just simply have to see

See the sights, see the action...

There's a couple high-school jocks who have some strangers in their town
And they're gonna have to shut these east-side motherfuckers down
There's gonna be a fight between the west-side and the east
There's gonna be some east-side kids tonight resting in peace

See the sights, see the action...

There's armed guards at the ticket window and at the door
And there ain't no kids allowed in after 6:00 no more
There's metal detectors at the door to welcome you inside
Yes, once again, it seems that home is the best place you can hide

See the sights, see the action...

Carnatarian

Words: Merlo
Music: Gibaldi & Merlo

You sit and eat your tofu while I enjoy my steak
You bitch about a dead cow and ignore a poor bean's fate
Woe and lamentation for the poor bovine
But what about the grapes they pressed to make your wine?

I'm proud to wear this jacket made of fine rawhide
When you wear your cotton knits, do you think of the plants that died?
I'm well aware that my food and clothes are dead animal parts
But the way you rant and rave and preach and cry is such a farce

All the dead greenery, sacrificed for you and me
I'm the one who cares for them -- I'm a carnatarian

The butchers at the flower shop are killing plants for us
They cut the stems off roses so they'll die and turn to dust
Who can stop the carnage, end the holocaust?
The murder rate keeps growing! Who can count the cost?

All the dead greenery, sacrificed for you and me
I'm the one who cares for them -- I'm a carnatarian

You open up a carton made from a dead tree
Pull out some rolled up paper stuffed chock full of dead leaves
Light a flame at one end, suck the vapors out
Incinerate the dead tobacco -- who can hear it shout?

All the dead greenery, sacrificed for you and me
I'm the one who cares for them -- I'm a carnatarian
