lyrics

When I’m walking down the street, and a stranger passes by
My brain takes a back seat to thoughts impossible to justify
The sun has gone down and there is no one else in sight
Nobody would notice if I made this man… die.

I could take his head and slam straight down to the pavement
Or pull out my knife, slide it between his ribs, send him to the grave and
If I’m careful, take my time and just be patient
I could get away with this completely free form of entertainment

I just wanna kill people and run from the police
Yeah, who gives a shit about sanity?
Everybody dies sometime, so why’s it matter when?
Don’t look at me like I’m the enemy.

Snap back into control, oh god what am I thinking?
Is the difference between me and Charles Manson really shrinking?
If I’m a crazed psychopath, murderous rage on the brink, then
Why am I afraid if a man in the same room as me so much as blinks?

Wouldn’t it be so much easier to take that man and rip his throat out?
It’d be the end for him if I laced his coffee with arsenic, there is no doubt.
If I put a bullet in his head, I wouldn’t see what the fuss was about
Why don’t I go ahead and take the quickest and the most direct route

I just wanna kill people and run from the police
Yeah, who gives a shit about sanity?
Everybody dies sometime, so why’s it matter when?
Don’t look at me like I’m the enemy.

Drown em, burn em, shoot em, gut em,
Stab em, break em, skinned em, ate em
Starve em, gas em, bomb em, crush em
What the fuck, decapitate em
Slam em, kick em, choke em, spear em
Gore em, rip em, split em, hang em
Grab em, twist em, snap em, frame em
I wanna kill people, I don’t care who made em

I just wanna kill people and run from the police
Yeah, who gives a shit about sanity?
Everybody dies sometime, so why’s it matter when?
Don’t look at me like I’m the enemy.

about

A Bird Among Men Bath, Maine

ABAM is Robyn Crews and I make
tongue in cheek, self deprecating folk punk from mid-coast Maine!

I started this project because I don't have enough friends to make a real punk band.
