I got sunshine in my stomach
Like I just rocked my baby to sleep
I got sunshine in my stomach
But I can't keep me from creeping sleep
Sleep, deep in the deep

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.

I was gonna clean my room
Until I got high
I was gonna get up and find the broom
But then I got high
My room is still messed up and I know why
(why man?)
'Cause I got high
Because I got high
Because I got high

Not that I endorse this in any way shape of form, love the song though.

Slayer - Angel of Death

Auschwitz, the meaning of pain
The way that I want you to die
Slow death, immense decay
Showers that cleanse you of your life

Therapy? - Stop it You're Killing Me

The world is ****ed
And so am I
Maybe it's the other way 'round
I can't seem to decide

Delia, oh, Delia; Delia all my life.
If I hadn't have shot poor Delia, I'd have had her for my wife.

I like my town with a little drop of poison
Nobody knows they're lining up to go insane
I'm all alone, I smoke my friends down to the filter
But I feel much cleaner after it rains.
