D.R.I. LYRICS
"Demo" (1983 Demo)
1. Sad to Be
2. Madman
3. Running Around
4. Couch Slouch
5. To Open Closed Doors
1. Sad to Be
My mommy says I should join the church
The mad man tells me what I'm worth
True, it's clear, he beats me down
Makes me bitter, makes me frown
Till I myself as a human being
Hide my eyes to what I see
I myself as a human being
Hide my eyes to reality
Me, alone, I really wonder why
All alone I wonder why I try
When life itself depresses me
And everything else, it's sad to be
2. Madman
He's old and cranky and he's got white hair
He yells at us in his underwear
He'll attack you like a crazed bear
But come on in, don't be scared
Mad man, he'll kick down the door
Mad man, he'll call you a whore
Mad man, he'll brand you a slut
Mad man, he'll kick your butt!
You pay the bills, I live in your place
I'll do what you say for my dwelling space
I'll do your dishes, I'll wash the floor
Just please don't kick down our jam room door
Mad man, he'll kick down the door
Mad man, he'll call you a whore
Mad man, he'll brand you a slut
Mad man, he'll kick your butt!
You hit my friends and cut down blacks
Proves again what your mind lacks
You back the klan
I've got to
Change my nazi dad
Change my nazi dad
Change my nazi
3. Running Around
On the run and on the right track
On the run and I'm never coming back
On the run and on the right track
On the run and I'm never coming back
I'm running from what I might be
From Society
From myself and everyone wants to help
You can't
I'm running around with my head cut off
Trying to make believe I'm not
On the run and on the right track
On the run and I'm never coming back
On the run and on the right track
On the run and I'm never coming back
Trying so hard to keep to my yard
Running circles around the block
Running and wondering whether or not
I can stop
I can't stop
4. Couch Slouch
Home from school and here to stay
I'll take it easy again today
Ain't gonna work, don't need no pay
Couch Slouch
Fuck Off
My mom don't like the way I live
She says I take but I don't give
My dad can't stand the way I am
He says, "Damn it, just get up man"
Couch Slouch
You Suck
Awaken now and then to eat and shit
Don't go outside 'cause I don't fit
Society's not ready for me
Crazy assholes never will be
5. To Open Closed Doors
Swimming through black Vaseline
Is my existence just a dream?
Can not tell which way is up
What's below or what's above
Fighting for a breath of air
I breath in but it's not there
So as my world melts away
I pray
That I will be OK someday
And may I not stay this way
Then after that I take some more
Hoping that will open the door
But the door is locked
From the outside
