Alright listen up.
Now some of you people listening to this may be too cool to be moved by anything that you see or hear in the world today. You may think you're too clever or too hard to be taken for a ride or have your weaknesses exposed. You may feel you have to be at least one step ahead of everyone else in order to demonstrate that you're not a sheep or a fool. So you play games to hide those parts of yourself that you feel are vulnerable or worthless. I'm talking about you musos, you prick teasers, you hard men. Well I'm not that kind. You see, I'm naked.
I came into this world naked and I'll go out stripped of all my pretensions, so while I'm alive I'll not perpetrate those mind games that just fuck up everyone who comes across them. What you see is what I am; hurt me and I'll cry, love me and I'll rejoice. I'm completely transparent, exposed, naked.
I see a hard man walking down the street Iike a killer and I know what he's fighting for - to be baby naked. I see a proud woman deny her true feelings for a man and I know what her secret desire is for - to be stripped naked. I see a politician on the TV hungry for power and I know what his lust is for - to be seen by millions naked.
Ah, what’s that? Naked. Naked. Naked. Naked. Naked. Naked.
Alright, I want everyone to join in now, and I don’t mean clap your hands or sing along - I mean naked. I want everyone out there to start taking off their clothes. You don’t need to be embarrassed. We’re all friends here. I’ll show you mine if you show me yours. There’s nothing to be afraid of. We can feel clean and we can feel pure and we can be sure that there’s more to life than a body. Be naked and be free. We can join together and walk the streets naked. And we can look upon our bodies and feel no shame. We can be children again, like little children, pure and innocent. Give up your games, your clothes. Give up. Be naked.
Who’ll be the first to take off their clothes?

Seekers of Oblivion

Want to know what the hardest drug in the world is? I'll tell ya.
It's real life.
It's so hard some people take other substances as an antidote for it.
Real life kills the seekers of oblivion so if anyone ever offers you real life, just say no, tell them there's a better way - rock 'n roll!
They can't always handle the way life makes them lonely
They can't always handle the nights that never end, no,
They can't always handle the nights that never end
They don't always mean to say goodbye to their friends
They don't always mean to take their own lives, no
They don't always mean to take their own lives
Sometimes they just want to find a place to hide
Dive deep seekers, dive to where you're safe. Dive to where no one will find you - right to the very bottom. It's alright, everything's alright in the dark stillness of oblivion
They don't always mean to say goodbye to their friends
They don't always mean to take their own lives, no
They don't always mean to take their own lives
Sometimes they just want to find a place to hide
Sometimes they can't help but commit suicide
Poor bastards
