Bettie Kaczynski:
I can't stand pop music
It's just a stupid mental trick
Happiness isn't something you just pick
I can't just ignore the issues and avoid the topic
The solution may never come if it don't come quick
I got no time to fake merriment when I'm sick
If you want me to be simply sedated
Give me lyrics melancholy related
Because its the closest I'll ever feel to elated
When my failures leave my psyche debated
Between being pitied and hated
On all the mistakes I ever contemplated

Political Hypocrisy
Get up it's time for a new revolution
No more establishments no more institutions
Until we get our priorities straight
We must pry down the authority to investigate
The only way we can liberate ourselves from political hypocrisy
Is to eliminate hate, greed and apathy
Social Deceit
I am not as I appear
Because what I am is sincere
In a world of deceitful tact blunt honesty seems unclear
Building life on lies then facts feed you fear
To believe the lies that give you security
Values have to change their priority
Changing the recipe tampering the purity
Lies and opinions become facts backed by majority
Young But Innocent Love
As friends the minutes we spend together are sublime
But I can never seem to say "I love you" at just the right time
You give me your love but I want your heart
To safeguard us from breaking apart
I treasure it too much to forget or lose it
You already have mine but you never seem to use it
I'm not asking for your innocence or virginity
I just want to start with your heart so we can have eternity
Get up it's time for a new revolution
No more establishments no more institutions
Until we get our priorities straight
We must pry down the authority to investigate
The only way we can liberate ourselves from political hypocrisy
Is to eliminate hate, greed and apathy
Social Deceit
I am not as I appear
Because what I am is sincere
In a world of deceitful tact blunt honesty seems unclear
Building life on lies then facts feed you fear
To believe the lies that give you security
Values have to change their priority
Changing the recipe tampering the purity
Lies and opinions become facts backed by majority
Young But Innocent Love
As friends the minutes we spend together are sublime
But I can never seem to say "I love you" at just the right time
You give me your love but I want your heart
To safeguard us from breaking apart
I treasure it too much to forget or lose it
You already have mine but you never seem to use it
I'm not asking for your innocence or virginity
I just want to start with your heart so we can have eternity
Hermit
Bettie Kaczynski:
Just another day no reason to get out of bed
With technology I can have more fun at home instead
I can be my own escape even if they say the troubles in my head
Don't try to reach me by email or telephone
I can handle it on my own
Just enjoying the opportunity of being alone
They say alone you can't find true pleasure
But you don't have to worry about peer pressure
Living up to some stranger's measure
Social interactions are all in vain
When all relations end in pain
And false friends are all you have to gain
Just another day no reason to get out of bed
With technology I can have more fun at home instead
I can be my own escape even if they say the troubles in my head
Don't try to reach me by email or telephone
I can handle it on my own
Just enjoying the opportunity of being alone
They say alone you can't find true pleasure
But you don't have to worry about peer pressure
Living up to some stranger's measure
Social interactions are all in vain
When all relations end in pain
And false friends are all you have to gain

Solitary Doom
I lie alone hidden in my bedroom
Social and mental exile haunted by solitary doom
Dying in my unmarked tomb
Never having lived a day of my life since the womb
If death came to me tomorrow
I'd have no accomplishments to show
Nothing to leave behind so the world may know
Of another life the world let go
Soul Mate Harmony
You're the most wonderful woman I've ever met
So for all you've done for me I'm the best you'll ever get
No one can more truly appreciate the uniqueness of you
No one else can match what we can do
I may not be your equal but I am your mate
We have something within us that lets us relate
A bond in which we communicate
That no one else can replicate
Runaway Note
Catching the six o clock bus out of town
Nothing good happening no reason to stay around
All that's worth a dime I already packed in my suitcase
Leaving to go find a better place
I lie alone hidden in my bedroom
Social and mental exile haunted by solitary doom
Dying in my unmarked tomb
Never having lived a day of my life since the womb
If death came to me tomorrow
I'd have no accomplishments to show
Nothing to leave behind so the world may know
Of another life the world let go
Soul Mate Harmony
You're the most wonderful woman I've ever met
So for all you've done for me I'm the best you'll ever get
No one can more truly appreciate the uniqueness of you
No one else can match what we can do
I may not be your equal but I am your mate
We have something within us that lets us relate
A bond in which we communicate
That no one else can replicate
Runaway Note
Catching the six o clock bus out of town
Nothing good happening no reason to stay around
All that's worth a dime I already packed in my suitcase
Leaving to go find a better place
Thirteen
Bettie Kaczynski:
At thirteen I could no longer go to school
All the kids ever learn was ridicule
Naivety made me play the local fool
Until I learned to play a little trick
That I could stay at home playing sick
And when everyone was gone I'd start playing with my dick
A secret hidden in an already lonely life was an easy sacrifice
If I can make isolation feel like paradise
Then how high is too high a price
At thirteen I could no longer go to school
All the kids ever learn was ridicule
Naivety made me play the local fool
Until I learned to play a little trick
That I could stay at home playing sick
And when everyone was gone I'd start playing with my dick
A secret hidden in an already lonely life was an easy sacrifice
If I can make isolation feel like paradise
Then how high is too high a price

Country Pop Break Up Song
You were once the only girl on my mind
But that was when you were friendly and kind
But you seem not to care about leaving me behind
So there's a new girl I just go to find
Now I know time and circumstance are just another fact
But you didn't even try to keep contact
You just left without looking back
But I don't mind losing you when your love isn't intact
Now that I'm alone here
I think it's clear
That you being ever there
Just means you don't care
But you were just a chapter my book hasn't end
Another page another character to befriend
And though you I may never comprehend
I know somewhere else is my damsel to defend
Late Night Nausea
Feeling sick feeling ill
Stomach aches can't hold still
There is no food or pill
To make me feel tranquil
Only time will cure it
I wait and endure it
But cannot ignore it
Simple just abhor it
Anticipating The Chances Of Fate
You are never stronger than the forces you underestimate
Nothing is more frightening than the belief in predestine fate
Assumptions are the first sign of doom
To fight any battle you must give yourself room
Neither victory nor defeat is a certainty
Until one side is under the toxic influence of security
You were once the only girl on my mind
But that was when you were friendly and kind
But you seem not to care about leaving me behind
So there's a new girl I just go to find
Now I know time and circumstance are just another fact
But you didn't even try to keep contact
You just left without looking back
But I don't mind losing you when your love isn't intact
Now that I'm alone here
I think it's clear
That you being ever there
Just means you don't care
But you were just a chapter my book hasn't end
Another page another character to befriend
And though you I may never comprehend
I know somewhere else is my damsel to defend
Late Night Nausea
Feeling sick feeling ill
Stomach aches can't hold still
There is no food or pill
To make me feel tranquil
Only time will cure it
I wait and endure it
But cannot ignore it
Simple just abhor it
Anticipating The Chances Of Fate
You are never stronger than the forces you underestimate
Nothing is more frightening than the belief in predestine fate
Assumptions are the first sign of doom
To fight any battle you must give yourself room
Neither victory nor defeat is a certainty
Until one side is under the toxic influence of security

Bettie Kaczynski:
I am Bettie Kaczynski
The symbol of modern society
I am the truth no one wants to see
A model of repression
That leads to regression
Where escape is an eternal obsession
Searching for technological advancement
To give us emotional enhancement
To a world that forgot what romance meant
Children born in a world without a chance
People everywhere but only at a distance
Because their emotions are guarded with persistence
What is the emotional opportunity
Of a close minded community
But alone the lonely can have unity
I am Bettie Kaczynski

Man's Fleshly Works
The flesh is weak but it can still kill
How could God's mercy be on is still
When hate, apathy and greed is our strength, desire and will
Destruction of man and Earth to keep our bank accounts filled
We won't write a check to help our brothers in turmoil
But we would easily tie, torture and shot them for their oil
And we just wipe their blood under the dusty soil
Then set off to take our spoil
Armageddon Survival
Where will we be at Armageddon's wake
Could we be part of a world we did not make
Sitting secluded in congregated groups
Impatiently waiting for God to send His Troops
Why should we profit from God's peace
If we don't help make our dangers cease
I don't think taking God's protection is right
If we don't take a firmer stand in the fight
Life After The Controversy
Now that gone is that controversy
I can go on with the charade of loving me
To go on with life as if someone cared what I did or said
With the illusion of love in my head
Even amongst the controversy
I could admit I don't love me
But now the lie must live on
Although my respect for me is long gone
The flesh is weak but it can still kill
How could God's mercy be on is still
When hate, apathy and greed is our strength, desire and will
Destruction of man and Earth to keep our bank accounts filled
We won't write a check to help our brothers in turmoil
But we would easily tie, torture and shot them for their oil
And we just wipe their blood under the dusty soil
Then set off to take our spoil
Armageddon Survival
Where will we be at Armageddon's wake
Could we be part of a world we did not make
Sitting secluded in congregated groups
Impatiently waiting for God to send His Troops
Why should we profit from God's peace
If we don't help make our dangers cease
I don't think taking God's protection is right
If we don't take a firmer stand in the fight
Life After The Controversy
Now that gone is that controversy
I can go on with the charade of loving me
To go on with life as if someone cared what I did or said

But now the lie must live on
Although my respect for me is long gone

To Fly High
I had a dream to get out of town
To fly high and never look down
It finally came true
When I met you
Once I met you
There wasn't one thing I couldn't do
All at once I flew
Once I had you
Sobering Love
I see no need to alter my perception of reality
As long as you still choose to be with me
I have no reason to forsake my sobriety
You are my escape from all the evils that be
I don't need to be numb to avoid the pains I see
With your love I have the joy to be free
Free and away from the ugly lies of society
Social Insanity Vs Peaceful Isolation
I laugh at what society calls sanity
Because it lacks justice and humanity
Society can't give me security or mutual support
So why should I put forth the effort
Just leave me in peaceful isolation
In a private world of recreation
I had a dream to get out of town
To fly high and never look down
It finally came true
When I met you
Once I met you
There wasn't one thing I couldn't do
All at once I flew
Once I had you
Sobering Love
I see no need to alter my perception of reality
As long as you still choose to be with me
I have no reason to forsake my sobriety
You are my escape from all the evils that be
I don't need to be numb to avoid the pains I see
With your love I have the joy to be free
Free and away from the ugly lies of society
Social Insanity Vs Peaceful Isolation
I laugh at what society calls sanity
Because it lacks justice and humanity
Society can't give me security or mutual support
So why should I put forth the effort
Just leave me in peaceful isolation
In a private world of recreation
