Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
This is me, black and most hated in all fifty
From Genocide to Swastikas and right wing committees
This is me, the witness to governmental conspiracy
Overcrowded cells breed addicts to feed my street
This is me, the one the Aryan nation wanna touch
Burn my church, set me up, hog tie, wet me up
And at the same time my own block, hold a nine
And a bullet with my name in case I go against the grain
America sleeps, while children play with cyber sex
And my neighbor's hard to love 'cause I know he child molests
Money manifest the greed, greed manifest the murder
Murder manifest revenge to hold the cycle of the sin
But I shot Lucifer, Christ compelled me
Christ compelled me, we bring the truth to life
I shocked the world with it, shocked the world with it
A governmental conspiracy to murder me
Descendants of Charles Manson never seem to cease
'cause everyday man impregnates the belly of the beast
This is me, in the United States of Amnesia
Your state of a union don't address me
When my block is in the seizure
This is me, the revolution televised in the century
Millennium Armageddon, every time you ever mention
This is me, I fight holy wars with the dot coms
Raise wars and modern Vietnams, they yellin'
This is me, I circle your retreat
I'm standing at the foot of marshall law
And I watch my homies bleed
America sleeps, and money got the kids impressed
Put the president in jail, he in office having sex
Politicans ain't real, motherfuck the police
In the cells on the inside, the jails and the streets
But I shot Lucifer, Christ compelled me
Christ compelled me, we bring the truth to life
I shocked the world with it, shocked the world with it
A governmental conspiracy to murder me
I shot Lucifer, Christ compelled me
Christ compelled me, we bring the truth to life
I shocked the world with it, shocked the world with it
A governmental conspiracy to murder me
I am the Alpha to the seventh power
Omega in its last hours
I am the Alpha to the seventh power
Omega in its last hours
I am the Alpha to the seventh power
Omega in its last hours
I am the Alpha to the seventh power
Omega in its last hours, do you hear me?
I am the Alpha to the seventh power
Omega in its last hours
Electrical towers and meteor showers
All get devoured
Expose the cowards
Chaos and power
The Devil is yours, the Lord is ours
I shot Lucifer, Christ compelled me
Christ compelled me, we bring the truth to life
I shocked the world with it, shocked the world with it
A governmental conspiracy to murder me
I shot Lucifer, Christ compelled me
Christ compelled me, Christ compelled me
I shocked the world with it, shocked the world with it
A governmental conspiracy to murder me
I shot Lucifer, I shot Lucifer
I shot Lucifer, I shot Lucifer
I shot Lucifer, I shot Lucifer
From Genocide to Swastikas and right wing committees
This is me, the witness to governmental conspiracy
Overcrowded cells breed addicts to feed my street
This is me, the one the Aryan nation wanna touch
Burn my church, set me up, hog tie, wet me up

its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
Corpse I Fell In Love With

Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Battle Royale
Word Alive, The
Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
Fast Car

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Missed one verse right after the first chorus - "Decendants of Charles Manson never seem to cease, because every day man empregnates the belly of the beast'. Fantastic song. Bionic Jive are one of my fav bands!
