Greetings And Felicitations: Slashs Snakepit Tribute EP

Good To Be Alive

You told me you're an orphan the same old standard line

Then we moved in together all you did was moan and cry

Talking like you'd make it on life's big movie screen

I had to say, I loved you just to try and keep the peace

Hustler, what are you doing with your time?

I'm slow to catch on but I think you wasted mine

You're running low tonight jack up and get it right

You know, you're going down ain't it good to be alive

I couldn't make excuses about everything you said

You wanna show your bruises let's throw a party for the band

Now here they come dancing like the powder to your nose

Why don't you cut your head off spite your face, let's do the show

Hustler, what are you doing with your time?

I'm slow catching on but I think you wasted mine

Hustler, you're running low tonight the station's right close by

Pack up your car and drive ain't it good to be alive

Tearing of the membrane of the first new thing in years

Found a nagging consolation in a glass of Everclear

And the ugly truth has raped you saying you're a lousy lay

But isn't everything that way

Ain't it good to be alive so good to be alive

Beggars & Hangers-On

Well I know, you couldn't love me because you're promised to a wealthy man

Take a look, what are you seeing is that a noose or a wedding band?

Should I go to see a healer nervous twitching in my hands nervous twitching in my head

God help me rid this feeling because I'm falling all to pieces and I can't get out of bed

Beggars & hangers-on try to take you from me

Someone with a Bible in his pocket clouding everything you see

Beggars & hangers-on they chip it away

Bury your soul in the river because the end is here to stay

God help me rid this feeling because I'm falling all to pieces and I can't get out of bed

I was wrong, I don't need you it seems reckless and unfair

Better days are far behind guess that's another cross I'll have to bear

I know that there's a time and a reason to take the ghost and lock it up inside

And maybe I am down but I'm not beaten like anything, we were born to die

Beggars & hangers-on try to take you from me

Someone with a Bible in his pocket clouding everything you see

Beggars & hangers-on they chip it away

Bury your soul in the river because the end is here to stay

I Hate Everybody (But You)

They filled me full of promises till it burned the roof of my mouth

I thought these jokers were my friends until they sold me out

Speed freaks at my door it's all the same to me

Everybody's barking up the same old tree

I hate everybody but you and it won't get better soon

You rub me all the right ways you'll probably screw me too

When you were told you're too old to strip, to pay the bills

You moved in with your loser friends so you could take designer pills

Take it how you want it scream that you were framed

Because you beat my sister's looks and all but the sex is just the same

I hate everybody but you and it won't get better soon

You rub me all the right ways you'll probably screw me too

Give it up you still want more

I'll fight you to the end you still want more

I put my heavy faith into a karma sucker's safe

Give it up give it up

I hate everybody but you seems no matter what I do

I can't help feeling paranoid of what's in it for you

I hate everybody but you but I got no one else to turn to

If I end up getting screwed well, I might as well get screwed by you

Monkey Chow

I got this dirty politician in my pocket full of greed

I take him out for parties and I let him do his thing

Did you see that silver T S slowing off his new glam, man?

Then he pushed his platform boots through his bitches velvet pants

I'm gonna wanna get it, I'm gonna wanna spank it
