Sin Embargo Lyrics: Super Fugue CD (1998)

Power Me (Music: K.Kipp, E.Kipp, J.Hofer; Lyrics: K.Kipp)
Power Me, yeah!
You put up, but you're down. You'll fiend. BRING IT DOWN.
You thirst to be first, but what you need is greed.
Greed.
Just heed my speech, and you'll bleed out of reach.
You see, you're me, but I need you to agree.
Agree.
I want what I can - I'm me, I'm man.
I want what I can - self destruct, I am.
Follow me, take my hand - I'll take yours, you're in demand.
I am man.
POWER ME
You see, I don't waste time, unless it's on me.
So tell me if you see why I agree.
I agree.
I've been down in your place once before, but I found a way to rise above.
You'll find my light tends to blind your eyes, but it ain't so bad, it's just a little crime of mine.
I'm man, F*** YOU - I am.

Rotund (Music: K.Kipp, E.Kipp; Lyrics: K.Kipp)
I saw your fortune today across the wall--
It wanted to say: it began... it said that, "A headless man needs no hat."
You trust in prophecies - you know what to believe.
You believe what you know; you know that dead is old,
You know that dead is old.
The one frozen primate that set it straight,
But we all think that it came across too late to set it straight,
To pass the blame, wrong or right they're both the same.
Wrong or right - they're both the same, the sane. The SAME.
You know that dead is old. The Fishermen Got Caught (Music & Lyrics: K.Kipp)
You said that I could really go, but when I show up there's a no show.
Go on this trip and burn some more, but you don't know what's in store.
The fishermen don't know that their trip is a no go.
They pack their pipes and smoke their stuff,
But when the cops show up their time gets rough. The "Boy" (Music: E.Kipp, K.Kipp; Lyrics: E.Kipp, K.Kipp)
Malice, eyes burning red, mad, thrashing head--
You think that he likes you, but you better watch out for your arm
He will chew at your flesh. He'll thrash about.
His claws, his teeth. You pain's his joy. Your flesh, your blood.
It's the chawing little BOY.
Ripping at my hand, liquid red it weeps. His claws will make his mark.
His tail whips while he sleeps.
Nothing to do, nothing to say. Always destroy, day after day. (Originally appeared on the Nevertheless (1993) and Nevertheless (Fixed & Remixed) (1994) cassettes.)

Kind (Music & Lyrics: K.Kipp)
Daddy says his daughter's wasted; daddy's daughter's f***ed up mind.
She says she's on someone special. He says she's on her favorite kind.
The world's burnin' up its airtime. The world's spokesman's head's up his ass.
The world's wasting its favorite kind: they shave their head or wear a mask.
Razor burn all the time. ll the time the same old crime.
Same old crime, a different time. All the time a different kind.
The world's burnin' up it's airtime. The world's spokesman's head's up his ass.
The world's on its favorite kind. They hit their head at every task.
Daddy says his daughter's wasted: his daughter's wasted, f***** up mind.
She's on someone special. She's on her favorite kind.

Between 17 (Music & Lyrics: K.Kipp)
Teenage will will destroy us. Skin of pain, so contagious.
Seventeen years: old, ungracious, so f***ed up. Your will destroys us.
And you thought that you were gone.
And I thought that you were gone.
Just breathe deep, it won't take long.
Don't think hard, it won't be long.
Soon you will be with us; all screwed up and so contagious.
The thought that you feel can't contain us. The thought that you have keeps us restless.
And you thought that you were gone. And I thought that you were gone.
Seventeen years, so f***ed up.
Mental constipation: brain stuck up.
You're old enough to be locked up,
But you can't think, you're all messed up. (Originally appeared on the Underneath cassette in 1995.)

Stated As Underrated (Music & Lyrics: K.Kipp)
Go!
Dressed up really warm like it was cold outside.
I had it in my mind that it was July.
It was not July.
I went to this place - they said it was suicide,
But I didn't mind. I liked the place.
I liked this place.
My friends had stated that it was underrated.
It was the music I hated and in my ears it grated.
Let's go!
I went to this place - they said it was suicide.
I ended up dying when I stepped inside.
They said it would be fine if we could find the time, but they're so damn blind.
They're just like the kind, the kind that reminds me of you.

(Originally appeared on the Underneath cassette in 1995.)

[sic] (Music: K.Kipp, J.Hofer; Lyrics: K.Kipp)
My friend's age is pitiful. He stayed in the sun, now his state is critical.
He said he had fun and he can't gripe, but they said he could run 'cause his time was ripe.
His time was ripe.
RIPE!
Become just like them, become one of them.
Hurt what you can when you become one of them.
I'm an old woman; I count my time. My life one bad omen; I passed up my prime.
My past life I can't comprehend, so the rest of my life I will spend.
I will spend.
SPEND!
Kill what you can when you become one of them.
I am a father and I claim my back as broken - my time came.
My life I am sick of it and I can't find the end of it.
Sick of it.
SICK!

(Originally appeared on the Underneath cassette in 1995.)

Beets, Butter & Piss (Music & Lyrics: K.Kipp)
I'm driving down a road and I see a bunch of kids.
I see all the dead bodies and I smell the stench of PISS.
A bottle I find by my car and a wrecked car, a wrecked car I greet,
When smeared all over, all over the top is a whole shitload, a shitload of BEETS!
BEETS. BUTTER. PISS.
This is what I saw. It turned my stomach quite raw when I saw my car.
In my head it left a scar.
This time they went too far. Why did they have to do this to my car?
Why did they have to do all this with beets, butter and piss?
Beets and butter and piss. That's how they did all this... with beets and butter and piss.
Beets and butter and piss.

(Originally appeared on the Underneath cassette in 1995.)

Homemade Water (Music & Lyrics: K.Kipp)
Close my eyes, lock the door. Turn the radio and light the floor.
My mind will flood. My brain will cease. I live down in my own little crease.
I take a nap: sit and snooze. I just kick back with my homemade booze.
I cannot think. What will I do? I cannot sleep. I will not move.
Every day it's the same thing: same place, same way.
Every day I can't think, I can't leave, I can't stay.
Every day I can't believe that I live my life this way.
Before you're good friends, it just ain't quite the same.
But after you get acquainted, they start calling your name.
Shake their hand and they know you by name.
That's when the drugs, they know ya by name.
The drugs start calling your name.
They call your name.
I look back at my barren past. Livelihood: I'm losing fast.
My mind will flood. My brain will cease. I see my life with disbelief.
Burn some candles, think some more.
Every day I don't care no more.
My life I lose when I get back to my homemade brew.
Every day I can't believe that I live here this way.

In Need (Music & Lyrics: K.Kipp)
I find myself alone every Sunday, trapped in my own big world, but I'm happy.
Looking out from the bottom of this glass,
My room is big enough for me, but just don't ask...
How much do I need? How much do I need?
My friends say I bleed, but that doesn't tell me how much I need.
It's over now. It's over now.
As dry as it tastes, it still compels your waste.
It's got what you need. It's got what it takes.
How much can you plead? How much can you plead?
Be my friend in need, make me sick when you plead.
IN NEED!
Come down with us. Come down. Chuck's Adventure (In The Woods) (Music & Lyrics: K.Kipp)
There was this guy, his name was Chuck. He loved the woods; in his mind it stuck.
He so much loved the woods. Strange but no one understood...
Chuck's love for the woods.
Beside him we stood: pioneers of the woods.
We stood because no one else would understand
Chuck's adventure in the woods.
He picked up a wood and did what no one else could.
In his mind it stuck. He loved the woods. In his mind it stuck. He so much...
Chuck's adventure in the woods.
Steel on steel, stone on wood. There we stood witnessing the sound of wood.
In our minds we knew about
Chuck's adventure in the woods.
There we stood and there we gazed. There we understood the meaning of
Chuck's adventure in the woods.
There we understood the meaning of, the real meaning of, the true meaning of
Chuck's adventure. (Originally appeared on the Nevertheless (1993) and Nevertheless (Fixed & Remixed) (1994) cassettes.)
