Harmony Handgrenade (Paul Megna)

Harmony Handgrenade
Loved to bathe in lemonade early every morning before school
She took it off, she put it on 'til every single smell was gone
and all the boys laughed at her like a fool
She's no fool

Harmony Handgrenade
Took charge of the light brigade from the very moment she arrived
She turned it on, she put them off she cursed them with a nasty cough
and every single one of them they died

God and Country Can't Exist In A World Where The Free Are Slaves
We Work 'Til We Die We're Fatalists Who Commend Evil Men As Brave
In The End They'll Descend To The Grave
In The End They'll Descend To The Grave
Then We Shall Be Saved
Then We Shall Be Saved

Melody Marzipan
Played nude in the marching band 'cause she thought the flute was so uncool
She tore it up, they hosed her down they dragged her to the edge of town
All the boys they beat her black and blue
We're so cruel

Melody Marzipan
Never trusted Uncle Sam still she went to work from nine to five
He kept her down, until she blew she beat him with his silver spoon
She tied his tongue and now he cannot lie

God and Country Nothing's Worse Than A Land Where The Free Are Enslaved
We Work 'Til We Die, It's So Perverse They Pretend To Amend Their Ways
In The End We'll Ascend From This Grave
In The End We'll Ascend From This Grave
Riding The Crest Of A Wave
Riding The Crest Of A Wave

I am not a violent man if pushed I'll play my hand
God forgive me for the things I'll say
Everybody does their time in this land of broken spines
Standing on that final judgement day

I broke my lover's heart without saying a word she asked me for a child I just pled the third
I know I'm not a soldier but this is a time of war
Every time I give an inch they always fight for more

At night I feel the echo of heartbeats in my head like some empty promise I meant but never said
Most times I think I mean well but I live so aimlessly
The quickest way to happiness leads far away from me - far away from me

Kate was barely twenty & it broke my lover's heart after all these years I've turned deceit into high art
It didn't take much liquor after years of being through
When faced with mediocrity your poison chooses you

I stood there with my hands out waiting for a prize like some eager child with lollipops for eyes
I drank the bloody liquid buried deep inside the well
The quickest way to happiness will lead you straight to hell - lead you straight to hell

LISTEN UP BECAUSE THE BAND IS PLAYING "I'LL GET OVER YOU SOMEHOW"

I'll Survive

I broke my lover's heart now I sleep on that throne
In front of my computer - naked, drunk, alone
I'm not looking for forgiveness for the things I haven't done
I just want the phone call where they tell me what I've won

LISTEN UP BECAUSE THE BAND IS PLAYING "I'LL GET OVER YOU SOMEHOW"

I'll Survive
