Scene Club 02:43
(Vocals delivered in a Ben Foster style vocal delivery) There's a real cool club and I don't know how to find my way in. It's just like the Monster Squad but the monsters are the members and there all such good friends - But not with me. I don't understand, they've been in all my favorite bands. I even hung out in their van in 1998. It's not an act! It's true, in fact, I'd even sign a blood contract to be part of the horror punk elite. The scene club's the only place where you can be yourself! and all you gotta do is be like everybody else. The scene club's a special club, where al your dreams come true! and you won't be a part of it 'cause they're too cool for you! The Scene Club There's a real cool club, all I ever wanna be is one of them! We could hang out at the mall just like Danzig in the 80's, way back when he was thin!But they can't see! I'd do anything! How many GO's must one ghoul sing, before they stop and realize that I've got what it takes! It's not an act! It's true, in fact, I'd even sign a blood contract to be part of the kingdom of the creeps! The scene club's the only place where you can be yourself! and all you gotta do is be like everybody else. The scene club's a special club, where al your dreams come true! and you won't be a part of it 'cause... LISTEN (Repeat verbatim at next horror punk gathering to gain favor) - I'd sell 500 tickets just to share the stage! Crowdfund your kickstart project just to discuss the old days! I'd pay $100 dollars just for an autograph! And use your lyrics as my epitaph! Just to be part of the scene club like you! We are the scene club and we're too cool for you!

I was lost and all alone! No scene! No place to call my own! Until I saw a signal beacon shining in the dark! There was an esoteric knowledge bound inside an ancient text, it was covered by the fingerprints of bands that I respect! Each page was like a blueprint filled with horror punk commandments and a list of all the bands you should malign! It tells you what to do and how to be a punk rock Pharisees and you can have it all if you just fall in line! H.f.t.R.H.P. - Page 138 says you gotta have a devillock! H.f.t.R.H.P. - Page 666 says you gotta listen to the Misfits! We'll live in horror punk serenity, where no one is your enemy and mutual admiration comes from Danzig imitation! It has a list of ghoulish fashion tips! You even get a starter kit to save you all the trouble of exhausting your imagination! (EXCERP FROM PAGE 435 Frankenberry is your favorite! Buy a black cat name it Satan! You need spooky zombie contacts? List of web sites in the back! H.f.t.R.H.P. - Page 138 says you gotta have a devillock! H.f.t.R.H.P. - Page 666 says you gotta listen to the Misfits! When you cash in your scene points and call in all your favors, you might be surprised what you've earned! your decoder rings and your matching t-shirts only bought you a spot in the middle of the circle jerk. H.f.t.R.H.P. - Page 138 says you gotta have a devillock! H.f.t.R.H.P. - Page 666 says you gotta listen to the Misfits!

Like the Titanic! Dressed up like the Nekromantix! The last woahrah now who wan't to be, the last ghoul singing "Halloween" as we sink into the sea! We built a wall around the scene and judged the rest! Now we're all locked inside engaged in incest! And every generation we spawn gets more retarded, a bastard counterfeit of what's been started! It's the mindless act of selling out and buying in! It's a scam and we've all fallen for the con! But you can stamp it on a t-shirt and tattoo it on your arm, so everybody knows which side you're on. It's a circle of fakes - And everybody knows, that their unity and talk of scene is nothing but a show. It's a circle of fakes - And when it falls apart, looks like November's coming fire never even made a spark! Creatively bankrupt! Tight jeans and Danzig Screams! Punk rock faux pas, now who want's to be, the brand new darling of the scene? just get down on your knees! When every band sound the same creates a stalemate! An endless cycle filled with brain dead goons in skull paint! It's like a legion filled with bootleg Michael Graves-es, who measure dicks to see who rules their self-made cages! It's the mindless act of selling out and buying in! It's a scam and we've all fallen for the con! But you can stamp it on a t-shirt and tattoo it on your arm, so everybody knows which side you're on. It's a circle of fakes - And everybody knows, that their unity and talk of scene is nothing but a show. It's a circle of fakes - And when it falls apart, looks like November's coming fire never even made a spark! (INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE) WE SHOULD BE ONE, NOT 138! IT ALL AMOUNTS TO A CIRCLE OF FAKES!

I don't respect my elders but I respect my Elder Gods! Even if I can't pronounce the words, I've read the Necronomicon! Last night I had a blood-sex-orgy, to raise Cthulhu from the depths! At least that's what I told the babes, I could have just sent him a text! My neighbors think I'm high on drugs, my best friends think that I'm mental! At least they haven't noticed, that I've started growing tentacles! so what! I gotta miss the senior prom, the pep rally and football practice1 The world is a joke, when it all explodes - WE'LL HAVE A FUCKING KEG PARTY AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS! I'm a teenage, I'm a teenage, Cthulhu cultist! Cthulhu's awesome! I'm a teenage, I'm a teenage, Cthulhu cultist! Cthulhu's awesome! High school was a drag until I turned into a creature! But it really doesn't matter cause one day I'll be a teen Cthulhu cult leader! Azathoth, is a fuckin' boss! Is it politically correct to say Shut-Niggurath? And the elder beings of whom we do not speak, because they're blackout drunk behind the wall o sleep! Last night I had a Dagon orgy, and everybody got really wet! And all the elder things made all the ladies scream, in the throes of tentacle sex! I'm a teenage, I'm a teenage, Cthulhu cultist! Cthulhu's awesome! I'm a teenage, I'm a teenage, Cthulhu cultist! Cthulhu's awesome! High school was a drag until I turned into a creature! But it really doesn't matter cause one day I'll be a teen Cthulhu cult leader! (SURF NYARLATHOTEP)
