Dusty Dirt- "Self Help"
Losing the will to get out of bed when I always wake up on the wrong side
But this could be the day they'll find a miracle cure that can break through
And fix my dysfunctional mind
Salvage what's left after neglect and abuse
From treatment centers and recovery groups
That trivialize the pain pretending to care
And know all the answers as if it's perfectly clear
Analyzing, pulling out my thoughts like rusty nails, to diagnose and profile me
There's a vast variety of recommended methods and shelves filled with books
About self help, but a bullet in the head is all I need
Nobody understands don't say that you do
And try to pick me apart like a dead specemin
I'm not an object to show case label or dissect
And God Didn't put me here to punish my sins
Maybe a new designer drug or a frontal lobotomy
Can give me some peace It could be a 1000 more hours
Of high priced therapy to back track the source of my mental disease
Defective Children- "Off The Grid"
The lights are out but everyone's home
It kinda sucks but it beats being alone
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark.
Some one forgot to pay the bill but
That's okay we can still sing and play
Our guitars, our guitars, sing and play
Our guitars, our guitars.
The power's out we're living Off The Grid
Southern California Edison doesn't care if you have kids
Go get the batteries and candles we're Off The Grid
Let's steal some turbines and solar panels
Harvest the sun and wind
We aint got no electricity but that's okay cuz you me
got everything we need in our hearts, in our hearts
Life without modern technology
The only light that that we can see is the moon and the stars,
The moon and the stars, the moon and the stars
The power's out we're living Off The Grid
Southern California Edison doesn't care if you have kids
Go get the batteries and candles we're Off The Grid
Let's steal some turbines and solar panels
Harvest the sun and wind

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.
-Dusty Dirt
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 aliveinfertile 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
