intro:
Do I have to get naked for you people to remember my name?
It’s Lynn From Snot
Pushing the law again
Pushing the law again
Pushing the law again
Justice with a sword
a smiling knight on board
Opening his heart to everyone
and loving without a doubt
embrashing friends and embarassing foes
and those who are unjust
A man true to his heart
without fear of misgivings with insecurities
tattooed across his body
the first to accept, the last to disappoint
he understood all, and expected nothing
Now you are free
free to roam in the skys
now and then visit me
with your starlit eyes
NOW
Pushing the law again
Pushing the law again
Pushing the law again
Justice with a sword
a smiling knight on board
You took all our hearts with you smile
and left a legacy untold
You conquered life and fear so you see
there was no room for you to grow old
Now you are free
free to roam in the skys
no and then visit me
with your starlit eyes
Now you are free
free to roam in the skys
no and then visit me
with your starlit eyes
Pushing the law again
PUSHING THE LAW AGAIN

It’s so fucked I am here doing this
it’s bullshit, things don’t end like this
I’m calling
Staring into the place
Where I cease to exist
wondering why do,
Things always end up like this
Fly
take to the sky another dream
of empty
Lies
of promises denied by a forgiving
you fuckin’
Fraud
my belief was betrayed I lost my
faith in you
Try
to understand the sorrow and the
Why
of a light that should still be burning
Bright
the angel in flight with a dog by his
Side
when you took him away I lost my faith
in even you!
It’s so fucked I am here doing this
it’s bullshit, things don’t end like this
I’m calling
Staring into the place
Where I cease to exist
wondering why do,
Things always end up like this
Fly
take to the sky another dream

you fuckin’
Fraud
my belief was betrayed I lost my
faith in you
Try
to understand the sorrow and the
Why
of a light that should still be burning
Bright
the angel in flight with a dog by his
Side
when you took him away I lost my faith
in even you!
As I feel emptiness growing in my heart
I can’t help but scream at you hating you
I bet you think it’s funny
You give us a gift and then you take it back
Fly
take to the sky another dream
of empty
Lies
of promises denied by a forgiving
you fuckin’
Fraud
my belief was betrayed I lost my

As I sit here all alone and wondering why now once again
all the others weren’t enought you had to take another friend
now once again to soon i search for words that just aren’t there
I give to you my feelings in a song and with a tear
Somehow close yet still so far
I hold you here deep in my heart
I hope and pray these words you’ll hear
that your at peace and free from fear
the question asked full in my rage how could you make this end
just seems so wrong that in his frime you’d go and take my friend
if goodness comes from tragedy then let this be the case
so only thoughs of joy are thought each time we see your face
Why did you have to know
I hope it’s not in vain
Cause there has to be a reason
or some goodness in my pain
Passion churning sensess bluring
all the things you taught we learned
some things in life we’ll never know
like how much time we’re left to go
never fair or justified
sad alone I sat and cried
of all the questions we must ask
Not when, where, who but why so fast?
Now looking back I see the day our eyes they first did meet
an alligator shirt some jeans and docks upon his feet
with out stretched arms we said hello his face a welcome grin
You wanna go and spark a bowl nice to meet you my names lynn
a battle forges on but it just don’t seem the same
cause I’m gonna win this battle and I’ll do it in your name
I say goodbye to you my friend I did a fond farewell
at least your up in heaven now not stuck here in this HELL!!
On with the show we have to go
My thoughts they have been spoken
you touched our lives gave others
hope and now our hearts are broken
of all that come and all that go
there’s few that have the spark
the strength the joy, the energy
to truely fill our hearts
of whom I speak I sing these words
and give this final hymn
I say it loud with love and pride and shout
I LOVE YOU LYNN!!!
Then someone looked up to the sky
look there’s Lynn he said and off you flew
with dobbs by your side I know then you weren’t dead
you just changed shapes free as a
bird to soar the skys above and so we turned
and waved goodbye as sadness turned to love

You are divided for now for now
You are divided for now for now
You are divided
I have a wish
I want to learn
I wish to see
and I want to affirm…
That what I see in reflection day to day
isn’t all I am
Say what you see when you close your eyes and glide
the only shell to circumvent the tide
shares of himself and tells us what he
knows, a peice of him will stay…
when the rest of him…
GOES…
For now you are divided
You are divided for now
You are divided for now for now
You are divided
I have a wish
I want to learn
I wish to see
and I want to affirm…
That what is here
Broken record everyday…
isn’t all there is
Say what you see when you close your eyes and glide
the only shell to circumvent the tide
shares of himself and tells us what he knows
a piece of him will stay…
The piece of him that stays…
Helps me grow.
The piece of you
that makes you you
That piece of you stays (you are divided)
That piece of you
that makes you you
that parts changed
Your only divided (Your only Divided)
Your only divided
The peice of you
that makes you you
Don’t be afraid

I have so much left to say
One less song
given to and Angel’s son
as soon as you were gone
as soon as you were gone
I have a new life now
she lives through you, what can I do
I feel so alone now
I pray for you, we still love you
You were fighting
everyday
someone had to pay
I know you never said goodbye
I have so much left to say
One less song
given to an angel’s son
as soon as you were gone
as soon as you were gone
One less song
given to an angel’s son
as soon as you were gone
as soon as you were gone…

Fever take the mind unkind
Seasons watching the souls unwind
Many friends left far behind
Souls left lonesome
Dark the essence of life’s core
Like light in the forever more
No one’s left to deserve it more
and I’m left borrowed…
Between nights and funeral flights
We are one the Father and the Son
Between nights and funeral flights
We are one the Father and the Son
I was there for the eulogy
Seems a part was just stripped from me
Everyone’s eyes were so far away
You were with us on that day
Feared in Life
Revered in DEATH!!!
Between nights and funeral flights
We are one the Father and the Son
Between nights and funeral flights
We are one the Father and the Son
Fever take the mind unkind
Seasons watching the souls unwind
Many friends left far behind
Souls left lonesome
Too Young
Too Soon
Too Young
Too Soon

We were ready for anything
Everyone has some pain
I see the loss every time someone says your name
When you know someone who shines hard
A soul of the age who doesn’t care
who the fuck you are
You had a friend, a brother who was everything
but he had to go away…that was yesterday
I’ve lost a lot of people in my time
the good, the bad, the unreal,
and the ones who shine
So I know you all understand
When I say that until they left
We were ready for anything
We were ready for anything
We were ready for anything…but this
You are not gone
We keep you here inside us
You are not gone
We know you’re still beside us
You are not gone
We have the light you gave to us
Now it’s time to lay to rest our friend
and through these songs
His memory will never fucking end
We still see that
Through this we’ll shed some light on you
Until the day you left us
We were ready for anything
We were ready for anything
We were ready for anything…but this
You are not gone
We keep you here inside us
You are not gone
We know you’re still beside us
You are not gone
We have the light you gave to us
Why’d you have to go? We never had a chance
I can’t believe it so I won’t admit it
Life ain’t shit without you in it
You are not gone
We keep you here inside us
You are not gone
We know you’re still beside us
You are not gone
We have the light you gave to us
Everybody says the light that shines the brightest
burns out fast
But what they never say is
all the light they gave us lasts
We hold the memories and cherish
everyday we had
But we would give it up in a second
just to have you
BACK!!!

I want to be
Something better then before
You showed me what
We should all be fighting for
Can you tell me
Why I always see your face?
You are kind of like a
Supernatural kind of place
Reaching Out, Reaching out
You are the one
Consciousness you’re killing me
I underdtand the clarity
Now I can see
How you touched so many lives
You’re on your way
to another space and time
I can feel you
every time I see your face
You are kind of like a
Supernatural Kind of Place
Reaching Out, Reaching out
You are the one
Consciousness you’re killing me
I underdtand the clarity
Your light shines for us to see
a part of you lives on in me
Your light shines for us to see (for us to see)
a part of you lives on in me (on in me)
We are the same
Follow through reality
It’s coming down…forget about
Typical just what it seems
Another day inside the dream
So here it comes consuming me

Well now it seems more then silence
has been broken
And I think I figured out the dying lie
Yes the truth is that your dialect is half true
Another conversation died alone
This is something we created
Yes my sufferment’s
It doesn’t have to be a prophecy
We could be both seeking destiny
It’s fucking down to us and them
you can decide which on wins
But the time, are you the hunter or the hunted?
ABSENT (sent)
Sometimes it feels like it’s us against them
ABSENT (sent)
Sometimes it feels like they’re angers are justified
and It feels like I’m absent…from your conversation
Just keep on talkin’ and you’ll sure find out…
you’re probably right
Now it seems that there are no easy answers
to the same old questions I’ve imposed
What does it mean, why would you
bother asking me?
Like it’s something I should know
Just cause they payed me to take it
I guess the money gave me credence
Watch our records sore
as you slow down to buy the accident — So Sick
ABSENT (sent)
Sometimes it feels like it’s us against them
ABSENT (sent)
Sometimes it feels like they’re angers are justified
and It feels like I’m absent…from your conversation
Just keep on talkin’ and you’ll sure find out…
you’re probably right
Know that I’ll pull your covers bitch
Yes I’m fixin to knock that ego down
Well I might slap your punk ass to the floor
Stupid mother fucker
Nothing but a buster still talkin’ shit
Devoid of soul, you dig yourself a hole
Take the fun out, I load the gun for you
Incorrect, cause and effect, you’ve been sold
Live with the wrong, so ya live in the lies
Take the fun, load the gun, incorrect,
cause and effect
ABSENT (sent)
Sometimes it feels like it’s us against them
ABSENT (sent)
Sometimes it feels like they’re angers are justified
and It feels like I’m absent…from your conversation
Just keep on talkin’ and you’ll sure find out…
you’re probably right
Yes, Yes your probably right
Don’t, don’t you know your probably right
Yes, Yes your probably right
Don’t, Don’t you know your probably right
Yes, Yes your probably right
AAAAHHHHH!!

Spoken word by Lynn Strait of Snot
Music written and Produced by Sonny Mayo
Engineered by Donat Kazarinoff
All guitars and programming by Sonny Mayo
*Taken from an interview done by Ro Kohli
that was featured in the Winter 97/98 issue
of Shock to the System
Shock to the System:
Like you were saying with your tattoos before,
your songs pertain to addictions and stuff
especially your addictions. Do you still have
any addictions even silly ones?
Lynn Strait:
Yeah, I mean I’m addicted period. And it’s
weird cause so much of the population is
addicted or compulsive about stuff. I’m
really compulsive about shit. I even get —
when I can’t fix my head with a certain
drug or whatever, I’ll clean something up.
I get really fuckin’ fidgety and uncomfortable
and I fly off the handle easy. If I’m not
gorging myself on one thing. I’m trying to
fill that hole some other way. It’s always
this great feeling of need and it doesn’t
have to be of anything in perticular, it’s
just something that you don’t know what it
is and that drives you that much more insane.
That’s what a lot of the people today suffer
from and a lot of people don’t even realize it.
I don’t profess to know everything about it. I
know that there’s that hole that needs to be
filled and a lot of people die trying (to fill it).
