Defective Children- Live Set I "Double Talk," "Sick In The Head," "I Cracked My Skull," and "Pillar Of Salt" 07/16/11

Videos recorded at Buckwheat's house in Rancho Cucamonga

The stories behind the songs.....
"Double Talk" is a song I wrote about this asshole I worked with on a construction site in Palm Springs. He was on some macho trip and annoyed the fuck out of me, but at least I got a great song from the experience. 

"Sick In The Head" is about relationships that never worked out, and how people's past failures can drive them to insanity if emotions are left unresolved.

"I Cracked My Skull" is about another guy I worked with in construction. He was a macho dick as well, and probably got more stupid after he crashed his motorcycle and cracked his skull.However most of this this song is more about me.

"Pillar Of Salt" was the first song I recorded after I moved to "The Farm" in Fontana back in 2005. My wife had just left me and all of my friends were fucked up on drugs. I was left by myself in a house of alcoholics who I tried my best to avoid. The moral of this song is that looking back on things you loved and lost get you  nowhere. It is better to just move forward and laugh at all the reasons  that make you cry.

Defective Children- "Double Talk"

Lyrics:
Sarcastic smart ass remarks pour out of your loud mouth like diarrhea, 
no one wants to hear your annoying comments or jokes. 
That are blatantly and obviously thought up to instigate 
more drama making those around you feel like communicating is a waste of breath.

Don't beat around the bush 
get to the point I've had enough with the Double Talk.                                                                                 
Leave me the fuck alone. 
Shut your trap and stop the stupid  rhetorical Double Talk.

A word to the wise keep your opinions and 
advice where they belong give it a rest and 
lay off from the arguments and speeches for a change.              
If you keep acting this way sooner or later there  
will be a day of reckoning then you'll be sorry and 
after that think twice about being a dick.

Don't beat around the bush 
get to the point I've had enough with the Double Talk.                                                                                  
Leave me the fuck alone. 
Shut your trap and stop the stupid rhetorical Double Talk.


Defective Children- "Sick In The Head"

Lyrics:
Remember the failures of past memories
Hearts and initials, carved in a tree
Names and dates engraved in concrete
All the dirt roads that came to be streets

Pages of scribbles, in spiral notebooks
Polaroid pictures and chances we took
Dehydrated roses, rusted antiques
Chaotic collages, lets play hide and seek

Pages of scribbles, in spiral notebooks
Polaroid pictures and chances we took
Dehydrated roses, rusted antiques
Chaotic collages, lets play hide and seek

Torn apart, ripped to shreds, scatter-brained
Sick In The Head
Emaciated, underfed, ruptured veins
Sick In The Head

Scraps of newspapers, cut out and pasted
Procrastinated propaganda, thrown out and wasted
Random words, forgotten on the floor
Uncharted horizons, boarded-up doors

Pages of scribbles, in spiral notebooks
Polaroid pictures and chances we took
Dehydrated roses, rusted antiques
Chaotic collages, lets play hide and seek

Pages of scribbles, in spiral notebooks
Polaroid pictures and chances we took
Dehydrated roses, rusted antiques
Chaotic collages, lets play hide and seek

Torn apart, ripped to shreds, scatter-brained
Sick In The Head
Emaciated, underfed, ruptured veins
Sick In The Head



Defective Children- I Cracked My Skull

Lyrics:
Always had a few loose screws
the rest are bent and stripped
flew way over the cookoo's nest
snapped and flipped my lid
Like an elephant in a china shop
I'm a slow and clumsy ox
There's really nothing inside my brain
just empty holes and rocks
Fell off my skate board
hit the ground so hard
broke a few bones and
I cracked my skull
Crashed my motorcycle
soared through the air
smashed on the asphalt
I cracked my skull
Neutered, sterile and declawed
I'm a mangy ally cat
who creeps and craws around his
town eating from garbage cans
Deformed and lacerated
dirty, with lice infested hair
the people wretch at the sight of me
but I don't really care
Second handed, dented
like discounted damaged goods
I'm never seen in perfect health
and easily misunderstood
Fell off my skate board
hit the ground so hard
broke a few bones and
I cracked my skull
Crashed my motorcycle
soared through the air
smashed on the asphalt
I cracked my skull


Defective Children- Pillar Of Salt

Lyrics:
That which was dead, is now alive
infertile soil will profit and thrive
Changed the fate of those destined to die
laugh at all the reasons that made us cry
But to look back with regrets and dwell
in remorse like infected sores emotions will swell
Injected with medicine to help the wounds heal
jaded and confused untill theres nothing left to feel
The altimatum, forced to choose
either join cheat win or loose
be defeated forfit, decided by default
or fade from existence and decay like a Pillar of Salt
