lyrics

when you're poor, you pay
when you're rich, it's free
i can't turn down
what you give me

do it right now
to feel no wrong
want me to play
you the same song

passing out into a porthole flirting with the alpha jerk
execute the throe of living in a world of hurt

pass the pain vile
burn the flame down
it's the same scene
in every town

what you get back
you will soon hate
as your whole life
becomes cliche

passing out into a porthole flirting with the alpha jerk
execute the throe of living in a world of hurt

passing out into the porthole through the alpha jerk
execute the throe of living in a world of hurt

(feeling kinda groovy...i wonder if i can die?)

die, die, die, die
die, die, die, die

passing out into a porthole flirting with the alpha jerk
execute the throe of living in a world of hurt
