You shouldn't go on living life this way If you're bummed out, you cannot stay I'm in the mirror You can't get away You're driving your car I'm runnin' in shoes You're pushing the pedal But it ain't goin' I've dropped the saw But I'm still coming You shouldn't go on living life this way If you're bummed out, you cannot stay I'm under the sheets But you don't know it While you were sleeping I brushed your hair You've dreamt about me But you've never sensed it I've held you tightly And kissed your lips You shouldn't go on living life this way If you're bummed out, you cannot stay

Chum 03:31
Bluish discoloration Finger tips and toes Artificial limbs And various veins Crossover bypass Blocked artery Bedridden man Skin graft Why? Seen another man Seen another girl You're a machine You are not real Lice infestation Scalp and ears Large intestine Swollen pouch

Sedatives 01:46
Watching my monkey have a fit He's just pissed cause we shot his girl He'd stick her with pencils and pens She smashed his face with rocks The monkey got caught in a Weedeater Kept the roosters and geese alive They tried to drive my car Everyone hates a mime

Your pudding cakes have made me sick They're clear as mud or a pocket knife Let's swim with dad without the wheelchair I've sunk to the bottom and drown like a brick These damn hiccups Are bringing me down I'm tired of reasons It's time to fist fight Old men and women Sleep in the park Then young children steal their stuff Trap beavers in the woods then bring em' home We can barbecue out back With some propane gas Make some room for dessert We've got plenty of soup We've got chicken noodle Or the vegetable beef Fiberglass With malted barley selected cereal grains And the choicest hops for superior taste I've slipped in the bathtub Just bring me a towel Then put my slippers on Before I freeze to death Fiberglass

Astroglide 04:16
You shouldn't inhale so deep man Feel the grip poking a lung You're stressing, the hearts jumping Your beat starts winding down Your blood pressure is rising fast now You clutch your broken arm Grey skies The pigeons and the doves The trees are blue Nice cartoon You flipped your new Camaro Impaled a wall upside down With just a twelve pack of Bud And a short ride home You shouldn't tell that story Or relent popular fun Bad justice I'm behind bars You can't even Read or write You should have Let it slide Resin Brown hair, burned eyes Discreet, my face Ball peen, red blood Won't stop my friends You leaped from the car Get up and go to the store A pack of smokes bring em' home For the kids they're all alone Jet fuel black lung Inhale black smoke Cocaine scares me Pale skin frightened You've slept on a bed Of safety pins they keep you warm The holes absorb the kerosene Your Daddy cheers for you football team Exhale

Nova 03:12
The fat you've stored it keeps you warm Spent your childhood on a huge farm Now run on home with cuts and sores Tripped on a tree log and chipped a tooth You're broken English from a college class Grew up in Texas in the dirt and ash You've got the chance feel free to jump Siphon gasoline from a gas pump I've never run before Not as fast as you I've never bled before Not as much as you Cold Now run on home with cuts and sore Tripped on a tree log and chipped a tooth

Amish 03:16
Shoes stones break bones Books grown taste snow The mailman comes When I'm home Acrobat Undertow The wooden door Broken bone Common growth Telephone Schwinn spokes freak show Stress cracks black chicks Drain Schwinn spokes freak show Stress cracks black chicks

Mr. Mouse 02:27
You epitomize in the blood of Christ You're dead to us a roll up creep I'm tired of crying My throat is dry We can share some wine to drink With a small child Under my arm But he can't see A bird got shot squawked in pain He torched your house and your child We lied awake in bed But he comes inside Burn this town down Tear it to the ground But we caught your lies
10.
Joe the Cat 02:40
Half white and half tan Abandoned by a man The rains came And swept away This tiny little Furry man Swim Joe, swim away You'll be saved Long hair and blue eyes Adopted by a girl Brought him home Kept him warm He was sweet Seven toes and sharp teeth Coming home I called for Joe He didn't come He doesn't breathe
11.
Hate 03:23
A rose is a rose but not in my hands Cold winds blowing all across this land I see a red door and I want to paint it black I press my thumb and the world goes back One day you'll be sorry But you don't see it now Go ahead and stop me You know how Better get a grip man Plant both feet on the ground Wake up buddy Hate makes the world go round Bigotry and prejudice Doing okay Inbred motives We don't kiss all day The Sun won't shine If I get my way Try to picture my smiling face One day you'll be sorry But you don't see it now Go ahead and stop me You know how Better get a grip man Plant both feet on the ground Wake up buddy Hate makes the free world go round One day you'll be sorry But you don't see it now Go ahead and stop me You know how Better get a grip man Plant both feet on the ground Wake up asshole Hate makes the fucking world go round

Doorprize 04:52
The impression that you gave me Makes me feel a part of you When I warned you don't look at me Or I'll hurt you you're scared of me You make me furious I've got to hate you In other words, it starts to burn you You stared at me, I had to scratch you Just to remind me not to offend you Watch me seek you Like I can't be the one To wound, to kick, to cut To harm, to whip, to bruise To slap, to bite The depression hangs all on me It makes me feel no use for you When I scorn you don't talk to me Or you'll get me in trouble for you

about

Curves That Kick, the long out-of-print debut album from SoCal quartet 16, threw the doors open to a new, post-Helmet/AmRep sound of discordance and discontent. Originally released on Pushead’s Bacteria Sour label in ’93, the album exposed the nascent beginnings of the soon-to-be infamous quartet. As Curves That Kick proved then and underscores now in its remixed and remastered form, 16 is its own unique, belligerent human animal.
