Black Flag - Armageddon Man lyrics

Yeah

Nowhere to go no place to go
I'm real screwed up
My eyes are sore from smoking all that shit
No place to go bottomless heart
So big that everything just
Gets lost in there and if it never comes out
That's okay by me

And on other side
At the top you get the light
At the end of the tunnel
I just don't think I'll be the same
And I'm just warning you i'm warning you all
No crutches, no nothin'
I am going to live the end apocalypse man!

What the hell else is there to do?
I want a mission
Not a gig or a good time, I want a mission


Scrawny stiff legs of despair come walkin'
My way with an achy step
Shipwrecked souls, desolation paradise
Bountiful wonderland of lost souls
Staggering around arms outstretched, looking
For something lonely hero man sitting on the
Crest of the apocalypse
And our boy says something like, uh
"Hey sir i'm a man away from home
And my soul is out on loan
Could you throw us down a bone
So I won't be all alone?
Cause, I wanna see it all
And I wanna have it all
And I wanna see it fall
And I wanna take it all away"

February 13th
Birthday, new shirt around my neck
Shivers up and down my spine
The time is mine and I'm feelin fine
And I take this one thin dime
And I call my mom on the phone and say
Say, something to warm her heart
Say, uh, "Your boy done fucked up
Had a bit of hard luck
Went down a wrong trail
Messed with some wrong people and
Just lost his mind just lost his mind
Just lost his mind just Lost his mind
Lost his mind lost his mind
Lost his mind lost his mind"

Jumped! Get stuck in the trunk
Get stuck in the jungle
And their jokes and their pokes
And their wrong side looks
And all the notes in the books
And all the wrong turns and all the bad burns
And he never learned
Just kept burning, and he never got to learn
One wrong turn led to another wrong turn

Dog people! These people, are for real!
They watch, television! They run in circles!
They bark like dogs! They nip at my heels!
They wanna put a collar around my neck!
They want me to be like them!
Well I just walk right past 'em
Right over 'em, right though 'em
Right on top 'em i crush their face
'Cause it's easy because they're nothing!
'Cause they're nothing little dogs
Humping dogs sticking that thing in any
Crap that passes by

Dirt falling in my mind
Dirt gettin' stuck in my mouth
Dirt gettin' stuck in my eyes
Seeing everything through dirt
All I see is dirt, all I know is dirt
Just talkin' dirt, talkin' dirt
Digging dirt, loving dirt, rolling in dirt
Dirt river, dirt slithers, dirt
Lovers, dirt undercover, dirt over color
Ah i've felt dirty before
But it never felt quite like this
I've seen dirt before
But it never looked quite looked like this
I've talked dirt before
But it never sounded quite like this
That's not the way it is
That's just the way it is around here
Around these parts oh!

It took a long time to make a long rhyme
It took a long time to make a story short
It took a lotta lives and a lotta lies
To make this story what it is
To stretch it into a
Disgusting distortion, and proportion
And detail and you can retail that
And sell it to the market
And see what you get
Bring back the proceeds and we'll spend it on
Something of worth something that'll save me
Something that'll get me outta here
There's nothing I want more than out
There's nothing I like to roll in like dirt

Look i've cheated myself
I've looked at myself i've hated myself
And if we could all just get
Together and hate a little
We could hate one another
Hate our sisters and brothers in
A sea of disunity
Get my fill when the blood spills
Get my fill when the blood spills
Get my fill when the blood spills
I get my freeze with the chill spells
I get my thrills with the cheers feel
I get my thrills with the cheers feels
The glass breaks

Shivers up and down my spine
And I'm feeling fine
I'm feeling fine, the time is mine
Spending time to time getting my fill
And all the bells ring inside my head
Alarms going on and off all fucked up
All messed up
Open my eyes, too much breathing
Too much of that fucking dirty air
Makes me talk shit makes me live shit
Makes me wanna kiss the ground
Better than kissing you
Dirt girl, in that dirt dress
What's up that dirt dress?
What's up that dirt dress?
Ain't nothing but a bunch a' trash
Ain't nothing but a bunch a' trash
Ain't nothing but a bunch a' trash
Ain't nothing but a bunch a' trash
But you seem to have me quite interested
Quite interested i think I'll walk your way
I think I'll say your name
I think I'll come over to your house
Mmm, got something for me?
Got something for me?

I'm the man among men walking
Tall with a plan
You can go send it around the world
You can hold it in your hand
You can bring it on home, I'm Armageddon man
Girl armageddon man, girl
Armageddon man, girl
And I want the whole world
I want the whole world
I want the whole world
I wanna make this place a better place
And send my shovel and face everywhere

A statue of my effigy
They erected a slum in my name
Henry Rollins memorial slum
Henry Rollins memorial pit
Got a grave with my name
Got a grave that always looks the same
Through the eyes of a fuckin' bug
