help me if you can
it's just that this
it's not the way
I want it

so could you please,
help me understand why
you've given in to all these
reckless dark desires

you're lying to yourself again
suicidal imbecile
think about it, put it on the faultline
what'll it take to get it through to you precious
I'm over this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
such a mess, why would i wanna watch you

disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time
what's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die

medicated, drama queen, picture perfect, numb beligerance
narcisistic, drama queen, craving fame and all this decadence

lying through your teeth again
suicidal imbecile
think about it, put it on the fautline
what'll it take to get it through to you precious
I'm over this, why do you wanna throw it away like this
such a mess, why would i wanna watch you

disconnect and self destruct one bullet at a time
what's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die

they were right about you
they were right about you

lying to my face again
suicidal imbecile
think about it, put it on the fautline
what'll it take to get it through to you precious
I'm over this , why do you wanna throw it away like this
such a mess, over this, over this

disconnect and self destruct, one bullet at a time
what's your hurry, everyone will have his day to die
if you choose to pull the trigger, should your drama prove sincere,
do it somewhere far away from here

P.S. This is not a hate song you fool. Did you read the lyrics?

Reg 		The video was banned by MTV, Maynard said so himself in concert, May 20th Hard Rock Live, Orlando Florida. Urged us not to by the DVD the label released, and pirate it if we were poor. As it needed to be seen.

zerospace_13 		this song is one of many greats by maynard... it's an excellent song, but i think the video could have been done better and had some more thought behind it... regardless, it's an excellent song and maynard even makes a better "remix" of this song than the orginal... "The Outsider [Resident Renholder Mix][#]" ... badass version and i highly recommand everyone to check it out if you haven't already...

Jochem 		First of all I would like to state I'm not gay and I like to see the girls in the video! But I hate the Video!!!!! It's so fucking stupid! I hate the bikini bandits, they are childish and simply not funny. I think this video doesn't fit with the song at all. There is only one part I like about it and that's the part were maynard plays the nerd. Great amazing song, Stupid video!

The Other 		I'm still upset with K Rock for not playing this song when I requested it. Also [ and I say this as a hetereosexual girl] those bikini bandits did add something to the video and I don't think they should be removed at all. After all, aren't we listening to the music?

zerospace_13 		after watching the video, i'll have to agree with you Cobain, to a point... i like the bikini bandits; they could do all those things to me and i would enjoy it :) however, the video doesn't fit the song... maynard should of thought of another way to have exposed the bandits to the world, other than being in a video, for an excellent song...

the exotic birds 		"what's your hurry, everyone will have his day to die" - incredible line, amazing song. Also, I think the video fits quite well with it. It's not your normal music video and that's what makes it stand out.

dxf04 		Actually MJK said in an interview that he had a more profound idea for the video, but the director kept compromising his artistic vision, and he ended putting in the Bikini Bandits out of sheer frustration.

RebdomineVoDkA 		It's a a year or two since i've heard this song, and today I found this CD and put it on. This song STILL blows my mind and gives me shivers. The lyrics are so fucking powerful, but they should not have made a video for this. It kind of ruins it. Also, the video is an insult to the beauty of this song. The hot chicks are nice, but they dont fit.

Hektik133 		Thats why don't watch videos unless they release them on the web or DVD. APC videos are ok, but they have a huge step to uphold since most people will compare them to a Tool video which is unfair to just about any band since they always have the most orginal and unqine videos. And yes making a video for this song was a bad idea i like to pretend there isn't one^^.
