Supersonic
An ugly sound it's all around sound is pain won't go away a lot of noise a sonic scare makes you feel like you're somewhere we know we're nowhere we like to think we're somewhere supersonic idiotic brain-infected disconnected you're high got the evil eye and you're not preaching what I believe in you're always talking I'd rather be deaf and dumb I can't stop that ring I can't hear a thing I can't hear myself think supersonic casualty you think you're cool you make the rules cause you got action and you're in fashion you got ideas you got a theory but I don't hear it I've lost my hearing you're so pretentious I'd rather be daf and dumb it's more fun it won't start an earthquake maybe just give you a headache but we're pretty good at that
ultra sonic sound attack.

Up and Down
Hey Jon, can you count to four?
1, 2, 3, 4
I look up and see a pigeon flying high and free
I look down and then the sidewalk is what I see
I look up and see the sky
I look down and see the ground
I look at you and sing a song about up and down
I look up and see a sky scraper, yes I do
I look down and see my foot and then I see my shoe
I look up and see the sky
I look down and see the ground
I look at you and sing a song about up and down
I look up and see the ceiling and nothing more
I look down and see the rug, then I see the floor
I look up and see the sky
I look down and see the ground
I look at you and sing a song about up and down
Oh, up and down, and down
up and down

Psycho Girl
She held me by the hand she said don't criticize what you don't understand
she showed me her butcher knife said it taught her a lot about life.
I'm stuck with the psycho girl I think I'm gonna get hurt
psycho girl touch her lose touch with the world
psycho girl psycho girl she scared me half to death said she'd die of loneliness
psycho girl had a psycho dog and they growled at me when they took a walk
psycho girl, touch her lose touch with the world psycho girl psycho girl it's a psycho world
oh woe, oh woe woe woe as if that weren't enough her life was really fucked up
psycho girl just opened her mouth a whole lot of interesting stuff came out.

Fill In The Blank
You've got a plan why don't you do it
cause it took fifty thousand years just to think through it
is it worth all of the lies?
is it worth learning your lines?
is it worth falling behind?
don't ask me I don't care
just put me anywhere
just fill in the blank
and all those holes add up to nothing
but you thought somewhere someone
tried to tell you something
long ago life was so easy,
now you know you fall to pieces
now you know take it or leave now
what have we here?
just a cheap souvenir
and it's not gonna make it
we'll never get anywhere
there's nowhere to go
could be some way out of here
but we'll never know
it's got a name
why can't you say it
cause it took fifty thousand years just to relay it
in those days life was so perfect
yesterday it's hardly worth it
in those days life was perfect
don't ask me I don't care
just put me anywere
I can't fill in the blank.

Sex Offender
Cover Song
I saw you standing on the corner, you looked so big and fine
I really wanted to go out with you, so when you smiled
I laid my heart on the line
You read me my rights and then you said; "Let's go" and nothing more
I thought of my nights and how they were
They were filled with
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then, you'd step in
I had to know so I asked, you just had to laugh
We sat in the night with my hands cuffed at my side
I look at your life and your style
I wanted nothing more
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked you just had to laugh
Walking the line you were a marksman
Told me that love like wine is ageless
Public defender
You had, to admit you wanted, the love of a sex offender
I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst then you'd step in
I had to know so I asked, you just had to laugh
My vision in blue I call you from inside my cell
And in the trial you were there with, your badge and rubber boots
I think all the time how I'm going to perpatrate love with you
And when I get out there's no doubt
I'll be sex offensive to you

Can't Get There From Here
These aren't the real REM lyrics. Due to the fact that Frank couldn't figure out what the lyrics were, he just made up words that kind of sounded like what Micheal Stipe was saying. Personally, I'm convinced that Frank's are way better, certainly more entertaining.
When your world is a lobster
a band to swallow your hole
with your space-impeded tree limbs
throw the trolls out the door
if you're needing inspiration
modern math is where I go
dem bones
Lawyer Jeff for no one, slow down,
Spiderman gives it oh no
I'll get there I know the way
Can't get there from here
when your hands are feeling icky
spit can jump in off the ground round
this is shower sugar beer now
Donna Reed is not my mom
hands down ain't she bad?
can't stop hit the ground
doin' the town in a communist court
round and round
go ahead
Mr. City-wide hypnotize Zoom time
gentlemen just we five spilling all over Manhattan

God Bless America
Why don't you shave your legs cause a little hair can make a lot of difference much more than whatever you're trying to prove I know you've got your pride and I know you think it makes a statement and you've got a right to be just as ugly as you want to be beauty is only skin deep and everybody's beautiful underneath I believe in that but let's not push it if you won't do it for me do it for our love for planet earth and the little children do it for peace and humanity and do it for the United States of America and baby if you'll only shave your legs the world will be a better place for you for me and for America. God Bless America.

Vive La France
This is the psuedo-French version of God Bless America.
Pourquoi pas se raser les jambes
par-ce que peux de cheveaux
peut faire beaucoup de difference
de plus en plus que ce que
tu essais de prouver
je sais que tu as l'orgeil
et on croit alors
tu penses que c'est une declaration
que tu as le droit a posseder
ta laideur la beaute c'est un epiderme
et tout le monde est coquet
a l'interieur et je crois en ca,
alors ne pas le pousser
se tu ne le fais pas pour moi
fais ca pour l'amour
fais ca pour les petits enfants
fais ca pour la paix et l'humanite
et fais ca pour la republique de la belle France
et cherie si tu te raserais les jambes
le monde serait un meilleur monde
pour moi et toi et pour les francais
Vive la France.

More Than Toast
Is it efficient or does it kill with the skill of a cluster bomb? It'll take time but you know it will if I happen to live that long if you would listen to me things wouldn't seem so gloomy now you keep jamming up the gears and I can't see through the smears and everything's exactly as it appears more I love you more I love you more than I did before but now it's either or or neither nor and when I think about you I start turning green and it shakes me up inside cause it used to be the color of your eyes everywhere I go I see your ghost the spirit of '91 you said you loved me more than toast but less than a staplegun is this the wrong direction? that's such a stupid question now when you make a sacrifice you're supposed to get a wish why does this only work in theory not practice? more I love you more I love you more than I did before but now it's not allowed you're not around I see you going out and everything goes black and I start to fall apart it reminds me of the color of your heart I miss you more than mud lost you more than blood knead you more than dough I love you more than toast more I love you more I love you more than I did before but now we're in a war and what's it for? I read your horoscope and everything is clear and it feels a little weird cause it used to be the color of your tears.
