Daddy Didn’t Love Me by Andrew Jackson Jihad

Well, once when I was eight 
everything was going great 
until my father, he tried to kill me.
By the time that I was nine, 
my daddy was doing time, 
and my mother had enlisted in the army.

I wish my father had loved me more.

By the time was that I was ten 
my dad’s life was going to end 
‘cause he was going on ninety.
By the time I was eleven 
my daddy was up in heaven 
in the clouds, staring down at me.

And I can’t help but miss him even though he hit me everyday.
And he tried to hang me with a belt once.
And he took nude photographs of my body.

And by the time that I was twelve, I had made my first million.
And by the time that I was fourteen, I had found the cure to cancer.
And by the time that I was fourteen, I was the president of the country
And by the time that I was fifteen, I was the champion of the world.

So I’m glad my daddy didn’t love me.
And I’m glad that he tried to kill me.
And I’m glad he took those pictures of me.
I am glad my daddy didn’t love me, 
I said I’m glad my daddy didn’t love me

Black Dog by Andrew Jackson Jihad feat. Simone White

Black dog i see
daily, nightly
monthly, yearly
sweetly, dearly

she says
“when you pat me i feel neatly
rub my paws please, scratch my belly”

in the evening i try songwriting
i’m self loathing, but i love singing
i’ll try escaping these evil feelings
but they keep coming, oh they keep coming

Personal Space Invader by Andrew Jackson Jihad

I gave birth to twin wire hangovers
Now I am a personal space invader
I’ve classes I’ve finals due
I have lots and lots of problems

Lookout

How can you put that straw up your nose
When you know how coke is manufactured?
It’s made by children for the immature
It’s made by babies who’ve been captured
It’s a sin against your fellow man
It’s a sin against your fellow man

Welcome to this world have as much fun as you would like
While helping others have as much fun as you’re having
Be kind to those you love
And be kind to those you don’t
But for God’s sake you gotta be kind
And respectful because we’re all one soul
Be the best fucking human that you can be

Jesus Saves by Andrew Jackson Jihad

There will come a day when our cells won’t regenerate
and everyone you know will rot away, rot away
Your friends and enemies and all your family
we will all be buried in the ground, in the ground
So make the most of it.
Life’s too short to fuck with.

Once an hour a day I get very sad
Once an hour a day I get depressed
When that hour is over I start to feel okay
because I’m reminded I’ll rot away, rot away.

I don’t have much time to hang out here and cry
and though that may feel nice I can’t do that everyday
I’ve had a lot of friends and they’ve done a lot of drugs
and those drugs made my friends rot away, rot away

They say that Jesus saves but Jesus doesn’t care
because he is in a grave, in a grave
Let’s be our own God, take care of ourselves and the ones that we love
