Cut My Heart and Slip Me

1. Death and Love

[ spoken ]
"Once upon a time,
a young woman walked
across the desert
no one knew who she was
but once she found herself
in the presence of--"

[ record scratches ]

Another light
another time
A scene out of a poem.

I wasn't looking for you
Fate hates me like that

Hear - my call!
You who made me queen
You who took my soul
Tell me darling, does power feel good?

Does - it - do - what?

[ chorus ]
Oh-
I am She (He, They, Who)
The one they call (Who)
The one they scream for
your arousal and seduction.

Now tell me, tell me
Righteousness does not make
For power and lust I'll kill
and for death I'll love
for that's what I'll be here.

You dared kicked me out
for having a mind
But you pride yourself
on receiving my gift

[ xx chorus ]
Oh, you are the one
who thrust my seed into the world
and plunged it into darkness
with an apple for desert.

[ march bridge ]

Survive enough (you haven't?)
Remember enough (you haven't?)

that I only come to those
who hurt others.

3. Just You

[ instrumental ]

4. Slitters

[ spoken ]
"I hate I hate I hate
I wish you'd all go away"

Bloody knife
Tears in eyes
and the sink waters down

I'm tired of you
I'm tired of me
ShutupShutupShutup
Nobody cares
Nobody cares but you
Nobody cares about me

Go go boots and die!

[ chorus ]

We are the generation
that cuts and washes
the pain away
If we're lucky
we'll get validated

We are the generation
of the forgotten
Society has us, uses us
and then moves on
To our brother, to our sister, to our children, to our fetuses
If we haven't killed them off yet

[ xx chorus ]

We're just trash
Nobody cares about us anymore
Because we are the slitters

Throat, eyes, ears
nose, mouth, fingers
breasts, chest, wrists
penis, vagina, ass
legs, toes, fingers

Cut everything
till all that's left
is your heart

Become a monster
Raging blood
Kill your skin
and declare faith
to the suicidal god

[ chorus repeats ]

[ xx repeats ]

If they find us,
may we have vengeance
on their souls.

5. Manson Mansion

( "Mansions", ly. John Phillips; "California Dreamin'", ly. John and Michelle Phillips )

Mansion, Mansion
The Mansion, Mansion
Where the cute people live

Blood on the carpet
That's never getting out

Hey, Mister Leader
where are your songs?

You better piss or get pissed
cuz here come the police

The Manson Mansion
We live in hard times, people

The Mansion Mansion
He provides us with needs

The Manson Mansion
Hey, Charlie! You didn't tell me
you had yellow fever!

Baby, baby, in the Manson Mansion
She's crying "mama!"
But mama's dead
The baby cries "help!"
That's really sad
for the Manson Clanson

[ Asta interjects, with sample outro chorus in the background of "Mansion" by The Mamas and The Papas ]: "Hey, fuck you, we tried to rhyme for once, it's METAMO! Get that stick out of ya for once, asshole with the username LotusLover!" ]

The cities are dead, by the way
[ end sample chorus ]

The Manson Mansion
We felt it right

The Mansion Mansion
Who are we to lie?

The Manson Manson
They deserved it, like, totally!
For being the cutest around

The Mansion Mansion
The Mansion Mansion
The Manson Mansion

[ shifts to sample arrangement of "California Dreamin'" by The Mamas and The Papas ]br/> We're singing his songs (singing his songs)
Preaching to the people (preaching to the people)
The fucking whores they are (the manson mansion)

Well, we got down on our knees (got down on our knees)
And we pretend to pray (we cease to exist)

[ shifts to sample arrangement of the chorus from "California Dreamin'" by The Mamas and The Papas ]
MANSON MANSION MANSON MANSION MANSON MANSION

6. Johnny Somebody

This body
I was born in
This body
I don't feel good in
This body
I can change it

[ chorus ]
I just wanna be Johnny Somebody
I just wanna be somebody important
Look at me
I just wanna be Johnny Somebody
I just wanna be somebody important
Look at me now

Johnny, Johnny
who can help me now?

They look at me
They tear at me
Everyone's one for all

This mind
I was born with
This mind
I'd like to keep
This mind
Nobody's else's for's

[ chorus repeat ]

Look at me now
I feel pretty
I feel perfect
I feel myself
I feel myself again
I feel
I feel
I feel
I feel no one
Johnny, Johnny, can you help me
Johnny, Johnny
Johnny, Johnny
Johnny
Johnny
Johnny!
Johnny!
Johnny!
Johnny!
Johnny!!!

7. FRAGMENTED

[ spoken ]
They say there are two Hearts
( You and the Other )
They tell you to follow Doctor's order
( You and the Other )
They explain that you are special
( You and the Other )
They command you to not be unique
They command you to not be unique

( But the Other is me. )

Can you decide already which of the multiple fuckin' personalities I'm supposed to be?!

FRAGMENTED!

Breakdowns, rose-colored lies
Society -- creates me
Society -- condemns me
Society -- condones me
Because it figured its lie or truth

[ chorus ]

FRAGMENTED
Fragmented world
Fragmented body
It's all complicated

FRAGMENTED
One for suburbia
One for work
One for your mate
and the rest for Hell!

[ bridge ]

If I close my eyes
(I don't have to see the wickedness around me)
If I close my eyes
(I don't have to see evil in you)
If I close my eyes
(I don't have to see the Other in me)

[ chorus repeat ]

Fragmented soul
Fragmented heart
Breaking down
B-b-breaking down

8. Hypocrite Life

You say love and tolerance
and you preach hate and injustice.

You say don't do this or that
and you do this and that and those

Preach what I do
Do what I think
Think what I preach

[ chorus ]
(It's a) Hypo-Hyper-Hypocrisy
Conspiracy for control
(It's a-ah) difficult life this we live
Full of confusion
This story filed under ID
For, well, choose

[ xx chorus ]
(It's a) Hypocrite Life
This story filed under BS

You say I should think for myself
and you brainwash and think for meself

You say I should trust my parents
teachers and the media
and they're the first to lie
Mommy, you told me you were pure
and you're not

(It's a)

(It's a)

[ instr break ]

(It's a-ah) Hypocrisy
Pour on some decency
Decadence, deca-sense!
Words without meaning and more
the whores, the smokers
girls and johns and who dances

[ xx repeat ]

[ chorus repeat ]

9. Lonely Planet Boy

( A cover of "Lonely Planet Boy" by the New York Dolls. Lyrics by David Johansen and Johnny Thunders, 1973. )

10. Sammael and Lilith (Death and Love reprise)

[ radio static ]
"--ce upon --"
a young woman --
found -- man
once--the Demon of Eve
--married--
and lived happily ever after."

Another scene
out of the garden.

I wasn't looking for you
But I guess I can't help it
Fate hates us like that

Tell me darling, does power feel good?
Does it arouse you?
Does - it - do - enough?

[ chorus ]
Oh, I am she
The one they call Mother
Like a good girl I was kicked out
( of the garden ) for having a voice
( of the garden ) for being myself

Oh, I am she
who thrust my seed into the world
and plunged it into darkness
( into you ) that was I
( inside her too ) I was that

[ bridge ]

That's what he told me, darling
That's what I'll be here for
You see, I need to give you the apple
before you prick yourself

[ xx chorus ]
Sammael, Sammael
hear my call
You, who made me queen
You, who took my soul
You, who united with me
Give me strength to your children
Hear their screams!

[ chorus repeat ]

I am the woman! I am the woman! [ 4x]
