You guys are a poseurs!
This next song is called "American Wasteland"

Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading
And everywhere I look there's a dead end waiting
Temperatures dropping at the rotten oasis
Stealing kisses from the leperous faces

Heads are hanging from the garbage man trees
Mouthwash, jukebox, gasoline
Pistols are pointing at a poor man's pockets
Smilin' eyes whippin' out of their sockets

Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Devil's haircut in my mind

Love machines on the sympathy crutches
Discount orgies on the dropout buses
Hitching a ride with the bleeding noses
Coming to town with the briefcase blues

Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Devil's haircut in my mind

Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading
Ghetto-blasting, disintegrating
Rock and roll, know what I'm saying?
And everywhere I look there's a devil waiting

Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Devil's haircut in my mind
Devil's haircut in my mind
Devil

Can I get a little more guitar in the monitors?
Turn the bass down a little bit too
This next song is called "Go To Hell"
