I don't understand why people scream In dangerous situations What good does it do? Can't they leave this world in silence? If you decide to leave it to fate Yeah, it can be scary But you have to stand up If you really want to make it in this world And that's why I won't play nice They'll tell you lies And lies make the world go round It's the media's ultimate vice One leader departs for another It's all under the cover of the dark Stitcher had some thoughts on this But all he can do is rant and rave I've seen through his malice and malfeasance I'd say he was a shadow of his former self But he never had a soul to begin with He's a laughing-stock for all to see And that's why I won't play nice They'll tell you lies And lies make the world go round It's the media's ultimate vice One enemy down, but more are to come They're coelerenterants without a cause But this next one is a doozy He prowls the streets searching for weakness He wasn't birthed so much as he was pupated The most sulfurous volcano was his womb He is the creation of Care in the Community An asshole, a motherfucker, he haunts everyone's dreams And that's why I won't play nice They'll tell you lies And lies make the world go round It's the media's ultimate vice And that's why I won't play nice They'll tell you lies And lies make the world go round It's the media's ultimate vice Listen! It's all a game A sick, sick game I won't play nice Fuck you, I won't play nice!

He sure wasn't a diplomat He'd crush a lit cigarette on you instead Whenever he was lurking around The neighbors would lightly tread He went to all the parties To quarrel rather than have a good time The pavements trailing him home Were spotted with blood and grime It was everyone else's fault Didn't they know he just enjoyed a drink? He was Mr. Nice Guy He only tried to make you think He was a laugh a minute As he barged his way through town And the laughs were all on you As he burned your houses down Everybody complained to the authorities Who replied there's nothing they could do We can't violate his human rights The judges think that's just too cruel It's really not his fault No-one tries to understand him Maybe he just needs a big, hearty hug Doesn't matter that he just killed Tim The neighbors say he appeared off-beat They say he did not seem alright As he returned to his apartment One particularly dark night That's the place where he bottled it Tried to slash his wrists but got high instead But you know when the fentanyl wore off He'd get up and try it again And when he was cold on the floor He felt on the outside looking in Did nobody really care About the needs of this fine citizen? Goodbye, loser! Goodbye, loser! Goodbye, loser!

Don't leave me now Don't let me slip away I am stronger than that It doesn't work that way My name is Tim And I'm up for the fight My name is Tim Don't you shut off the light To my old pal Richard Take heart, I'll see you again We will have more adventures As soon as I'm over the pain My name is Tim And I'm up for the fight My name is Tim Don't you tell me goodnight I want to tell the world Search deep within your souls We could all make it together It might just work, God only knows My name is Tim And I'm up for the fight My name is Tim Don't you shut off the light My name is Tim And I'm up for the fight My name is Tim Don't you tell me goodnight Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight

You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant Walk right in, it's around the back Just a half a mile from the railroad track You can get anything you want at Alice's restaurant
