Slaughterama Lyrics


With a battle cry go forth which is 'Give the people what they want'
And what the people want could only be the senseless slaughter
Of the gutter slime that litters this nation for cash and prizes
Yes, this is the show where people bet their lives to win something big'Cause when your life is shit, then you haven't got much
To lose on slaughterama, this next geek is guilty of the following
A grateful dead life in which he's been wallowing, tried to tell us
Give peace a chance, met the national guard and you shit in your pantsIt's not your imagination, it's not a bad trippie, yes that's him
It's the big smelly hippy, hello Mr.Hippy, nice to meet you hey
Got a little shit between your toes, so how's things at the
Ol' manure factory? How's little Tofu? What? She grew another head?Well, ya gotta lay off that LSD you know, kinda makes your offspring
Goofy looking, so, how do ya hide money from a hippy?
Put it under the soap, I'm sorry but that answer wasn't in time
You're gonna have to put your mouth on this, I blew your head clean offGood thing, I was such an expert shot with the national guard
Back in Kent state, I bagged four that day, there's nothing
Like hippy hunting, my dad always use to take me along
With Lee Harvey Oswald, all right, we're rocking nowWorlds biggest hair, worlds tightest pants, got no circulation
But you still can dance, fashion is a statement and sometimes a risk
Every fashion had its faults but yours is the pits, always in black

Looks like he's dead, here's the art-fag lying on his death bedHello Mr. Art-fag, come on out here, say, what a hairdo
Why, it's awfully big, as big as the, the, the hindenburg
And it'll probably go up just as fast if I put this lighter to it
But no, I'm gonna hold out and ask you this questionWhat ever happened to Eddie Munster? I'm looking at him
Oh, Oderus help the boy with his hairdo there
It's getting ripped off, oh no, you know that's gotta hurt
Hey, what's Oderus trying to do with his face? Is that a face-lift?
No, he's pulling that face clean off, help that sod outta hereGave up pussy, stopped doin' toot, now you can't wait
To give someone the boot, elbows and knuckles, all you know how
Follow the heard, just another cow, brain full of shit, boots full of lead
Straight from Hitler's ass, here's the Nazi skinheadHello Mr. Nazi skinhead how ya doin'? How's Geraldo's nose?
Still broken? Well, it's good to see you still on the job
You know when you're mugging talk show commentators in bathrooms
Always remember to draw the swastika turning to the right
Not to the left, always to the rightWhy do Nazi skinheads wear red suspenders anyways?
He doesn't have to tell you, time to give this Nazi skinhead
One more haircut, real close to the shoulders like, his head's
Been decapitated, look at all that PSI in his aort artery
Is he a gusher or what?Well, ladies and gentlemen, that's all for this week
We've killed everybody that's worth killing, hope you do the same
We'll be back next week for another edition ofSlaughterama, slaughterama, slaughterama, it's not drama
Slaughterama, slaughterama, slaughterama, it's a thriller
Slaughterama, slaughterama, slaughterama, it's not drama
(It's full of existential despair)
Slaughterama, slaughterama, slaughterama, it's a thriller
(It's full of people who just don't care)Slaughterama, slaughterama, slaughterama, it's not drama
(Don't feel sorry for them)
Slaughterama, slaughterama, slaughterama, it's a thriller
(They've chosen their own path in life)
Slaughterama, slaughterama, slaughterama, it's not drama
Slaughterama, slaughterama, slaughterama, it's a thriller
It's a thriller, it's a thriller

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
GWAR is a satirical thrash metal/punk band formed in 1985-1986 by a group of artists and musicians at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. The band is perhaps best known for their elaborate sci-fi/horror film inspired costumes, raunchy lyrics, and graphic stage performances, which can consist of scatology, sadomasochism, necrophilia, paedo-necrophilia, beastio-necrophilia, fire dancing, fake pagan rituals, mock executions/mutilations, and other controversial violent and political themes. GWAR was, for a long time, on the leading edge of shock rock, going as far as appearing on Jerry Springer in character and in full costume during the mid 1990's.

The origin and meaning of the band's name has been left intentionally vague by its members, although the most widely accepted explanation (though false and denied by the band members) is that GWAR is an acronym for "God What an Awful Racket!" One rumor states that the name may have come from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' graphic novel Watchmen, in which a poster reads, "Pink Triangle LIVE at the Gay Women Against Rape Benefit Concert." Other unsubstantiated rumors state that GWAR! is the sound monsters make in old horror movies, or that a fan at a club yelled "You should call your band..." and vomited before he could finish, making a sound close to the word GWAR. A final possibility, and the most viable as of yet, coming from sources close to the band suggests strongly that the name comes from the answer David Brockie gave to Hunter Jackson when asked what the band should be called. David Brockie simply responded with a mostly unintelligble word and isolated a single sound out of the rubble therefore creating GWAR.

The band was the result of the collaboration between Hunter Jackson and Dave Brockie, then the singer for a punk band called Death Piggy. Jackson was working on a movie at the time the two met. The movie, entitled Scumdogs of the Universe, featured a plot involving terrifying intergalactic barbarians. Jackson and Brockie combined their ideas, re-named the band Gwar, and have been performing as ghoulish intergalatic warriors ever since. Their costumes are generally made of foam latex, styrofoam, and hardened rubber. It should be noted that the costumes they are wearing actually cover very little with the rest of their bodies being accentuated with makeup. They further their production in concert by dousing, spraying, and at times nearly drowning their audiences with imitation blood, semen, gore, and other bodily fluids. All the fluids are made of water and dye that washes out easily. It is rumored that corn syrup or a similar product has been used as a thickener.

Another trademark of GWAR's live show is their mutilations of celebrities and figures in current events. Victims of GWAR's antics have included O.J. Simpson, George W. Bush, Paris Hilton, and many others. The band also makes frequent references to political and historical figures, fantasy literature, and mythology. For instance, the song "Whargoul" makes reference to Minas Morgul, a setting in the J.R.R. Tolkien Lord of the Rings books; and the title of their sixth album Ragnarok comes from Norse mythology.

GWAR, though by no means a small-time band, have not enjoyed as much mainstream recognition as many other bands. Around the time of their second album (Scumdogs of the Universe), they enjoyed a fair deal of success, due in part to Beavis and Butt-head. After that, however, GWAR's popularity waned and they were even featured on the VH1 program "Where Are They Now." Though not at the peak of their popularity, GWAR was recently invited to play on the Sounds of the Underground tour, which was very well received.

Gwar were, at one time, banned from performing in their home city of Richmond, Virginia due to their raucous stage performances. During that time they would appear in their home town under the pseudonym Rawg and play sans costumes. The ban was later lifted and the band can now play in Richmond again in full gory attire. GWAR was banned earlier in North Carolina for obscenity reasons (Brockie was arrested for wearing his "Cuttlefish of Cthulu" prosthetic penis; this incident was the inspiration for GWAR's America Must Be Destroyed album). Band members and associates often have cookouts at their house, dubbed "Gwar-BQ's." The video for "Saddam a Go-Go" from This Toilet Earth appeared in the hit movie Empire Records. Gwar was/is primarily a band of former art students, and this is reflected in the obscure references made in some of their songs. Gwar fans are known as Bohabs or Scumdogs.
