My Imagination

I can erase you just as quickly as I dreamed you up
you don't exist, just a myth, another twist
every time I close my eyes, I might've thought that you were It
but I can't keep my eyelids shut
all the time
you're not mine
not alive
Just a figure of my
Imagination
My my my my my Imagination
I can't be living in a fantasy I gotta wake up
I can't believe all the things I see and hear
when I'm covered under covers when I'm deep within my sleep
I swear I almost felt your touch
I was crushed
in a rush
turned to dust
just a figure of my
Imagination
My my my my my imagination
I know the truth
I let myself be fooled
you were never true
I let myself be fooled

She can't be serious
Carrying on and on and she'll do it again
She's not right. Delirious
Here she goes again
She's messed up and dressed up
Loading up on more stuff seeking her next victim
She's had enough but won't give it up
Falling down again
She's going down tonight
Tonight and every single night
She's going down tonight
Tonight and every single night
She's going down. . tonight
She sees him at the bar
She's eyeing him and she makes her way towards
She's ready and willing
No need to know his name
She drinks more looking to score
She seals the deal and she'll do it again
Real soon now, in the bathroom
She's lying down again
She's going down tonight
Tonight and every single night
She's going down tonight
Tonight and every single night
She's going down. . tonight
She's walking down a spiral staircase into burning hell
She doens't even care she's so loaded and unaware
Tired of her desperate cries she's walking on a thin line
Soon she will see that is nothing more - short order whore
She makes me so furious
Got a lot of nerve throwing herself at him
How dare she? Disrespect me?
I'll kick her ass again
She's easy and sleazy
Never will amount to anything
Pathetic. Forget it
She's gonna end up dead
She can't be serious

Everyone's abusing you
Everyone's accusing you
Everyone's abusing you
Everyone's accusing you
You whine and moan obsessively
You whine and moan compulsively
You whine and moan obsessively
You whine and moan compulsively
You're a victim
Such a victim
A product of the system
You're a victim
Well I'm a victim to
of you
We don't care, we're all annoyed
We all think you're paranoid
We don't care, we're all annoyed
We all think you're paranoid
You say the same thing every day
It's time for you to go away
You say the same thing every day
It's time for you to go away

Not For Me

We’ve been told since we were young
That boys in bands have all the fun
We know we can do it all
Don’t need a dick to have some balls
Fuck you I’m not with the band
Let me show you where we stand
The stage is where I oughta be
This groupie shit is not for me
Chorus:
Never change who we are
We’ll knock you out with this guitar
Is it hard to believe?
This groupie shit is not for me
They can never put us down
Cuz we come from underground
Drag us into the light
And we’ll kick your ass all night
Give us whiskey, give us beer
And get the hell out of here
One last visit to the bar
Let our boyfriends drive the car
Chorus:
Never change who we are
We’ll knock you out with this guitar
Is it hard to believe?
This groupie shit is not for me

Beggar

I am not my occupation
9 to 5 is just frustration
I can't find my way out of here
I get up I can't see straight
Is it the job or the boss I hate
I can't find my way out of here
I'm not a beggar but I'm begging anyway
I can't take it gotta do it my own way
I would quit if given the chance
refuse to the do the corporate dance
I think the end is coming near
I could quit but I'd go mental
what about my health and dental
I think the end is coming near
I'm not a beggar but I'm begging anyway
I can't take it gotta do it my own way
How many times must I pay
for the same mistake
I didn't want it this way
I brush the ashes off every single day
I want this debt to be paid
I'm an inmate
I don't want to be a slave everyday
to the same old complaints
the same drain I sustain
the pain
of this never ending sore on my back
you put it all out of whack this insane
I'm gonna break out of this
this imprisonment
there's only so much I can take
there's only one
one more thing that I can say that
I am planning my escape
Will i fall down on my ass?
The answers in the martini glass
what if I never leave here?
I could try what if I fail
what's the ending to this tale?
I drink planning my escape
I'm not a beggar but I'm begging anyway
I can't take it gotta do it my own way

Misuse me
Confuse me
Abuse me
Mistrust me
Unjustly
Destruct me
I can not take it anymore
how can you
try to get away with it
soon you'll see
you're gonna pay for it
one day
it's okay
cuz you'll regret it when I go
you try to use me but you'll never rule me
you selfish inconsiderate elitist piece of shit
all your excuses you find yourself amusing
I'll never be your slave again
cuz I said NO
Intimidate me
Frustrate me
Humiliate me
Interrogate me
Contradict me
Enslave me
No
I can not take it anymore
how can you
try to get away with it
soon you'll see
you're gonna pay for it
one day
it's okay
cuz you'll regret it when I go
you try to use me but you'll never rule me
you selfish inconsiderate elitist piece of shit
all your excuses you find yourself amusing
I'll never be your slave again
cuz I said NO

I'm not surprised to see you again
you're always waiting on me but you got to understand
wait for me to drop everything oh no no I got some other plans
You wanna break me?
You wanna take me?
Guess who won't take no more?
You're not my problem hun
figure it out yourself
cuz i'm not your
Bitch
That's right I call all the shots
no more claims to your whims and your cries darling please
I don't wanna hear it day and night it's gotta stop and it starts tonight
You wanna break me?
You wanna take me?
I won't be your prisoner
You're not my problem hun
figure it out yourself
cuz i'm not your
Bitch
The tables are turned
stand back the flame it burns
and the pain in kinda hurts
how'd you like to take it from me?
I'm not a saint, I'm just a sinner
just like you
you want to?
you wanna wear my shoes then
get ready to burn in hell
You're not my problem hun
figure it out yourself
cuz i'm not your
Bitch
Cuz I'm not your
Cuz I'm not your
Cuz i'm not your
Bitch
