update:Had full band practice today. We will be performing "Shower Stall", "Driftwood","Chessboard", "Heroin" and covering "National Anthem" and for kicks "Hey Ya" (Outkast). We recorded the heroin song today amongst a few others, and it was frigging hilarious. It will cause 1/4 of the audience to gutt laugh, 1/4 to giggle nervously, wondering if we are absolutely crazy, 1/4 to attempt to get us off the stage as quickly as possible, and 1/4 to sit in confusion. ...And another 1/4 to question my logic. Well, maybe. I have had 4 personal friends die of heroin overdose, my uncle I had to find dead on the floor after three days of lying there with a needle in his arm, and many more associates. Instead of launching into a cathartic cliche charade musically, I would rather take the extremely funny sarcasm route. My band members are awesome. My throat is sore from screaming, mostly at the bassist. Im going to sleep, more important matters to attend to.

Since we have a gig on the 23rd, a benefit show, I decided to take a trip to my friend Adam's house to write some songs for new material. He told me that this benefit show would be in a church, and I was not happy about that, becuase I REALLY dont like being in churches. I mean I REALLY REALLY dont like being in churches. But because its a benefit thing I agreed. And I wrote a song to play as our last song during the gig, its a swinging, happy sounding, flowers and sunshine type of song (very much in contrast with our other music) with a little twist. I call it the Heroin song, and it is the only one I will be singing at the show.
The lyrics go a little bit like this...
Ahhh, Whats a matter kids?
Fudge pops just aint doin it anymore?
Ya, you kids look a bit down.
Guess Ma and Pops aint treatin you right, huh?
Well, let me tell you about a little somethin
that we like to call...
Heroin.
(riff switch)
Thats right.
Whenever Im feeling down
I like to boot up a little black tar heroin.
Right in my eye.
(riff switch)
when gloomy storm clouds seem to rest above your head
and life is pain
theres always a friend that you can count on
and you can mainline it right into your vein
(riff switch)
(pause)...or in between your toes
(continue)...or right in your testicles
(pause)..or right in the ass
...Rob seems to like it there
(I smile, point and wink at Rob, he smiles, points and wink right back)
(continue)
(riff switch, mellow part)
come on everybody.
everybody just get together now
and hold hands.
come on now, dont be shy.
and if youve got a friend next to you.
you just hold that friends hand.
think about all the great times you've had together.
and then stab them in the face with some fucking HEROIN!
(riff switch)
H--E--R--O--I--N
that spells heroin.
H--E--R--O--I--N
that spells heroin.
(riff switch)
Those nasty terrorists got you down kids?
Well thwart their evil plans, by shooting lots of smack.
Cause, it makes you immune to anthrax.
Ya, okay, so, like, no seriously.
There were these 15 guys in this room one time.
And they were are all subjected to anthrax poisoning.
And they all DIED.
Except there was, like this 16th guy who they found. He was in the room too.
And he lived.
Cause he was on heroin.
Give me some SUGAR
(breakdown)
(switch)
this the evilist song you ever will here
(main riff)
(screaming and freaking out) HEROOOIN!
HEROOOIN!
HEROOOIN!
Ill finish the rest of the lyrics tommorrow.
If anybody reads this, give me more horrifying heroin lyrics.
