Lyrics

Total Recall

My name is not Quaid!

What the fuck did I do wrong?
Suddenly I see I don’t belong
Ask about the future, don’t know the past
The thoughts in my mind don’t seem to last!

My whole life is just a dream
Now I know what I could’ve been
I want to climb the mountains of Mars
With wholesale memories, I’m in charge!

Get your ass! Get your ass to Mars!
Get your ass! Get your ass to Mars!

The blood on my hands is not a delusion
The corpse of my wife adds confusion
Consider this a final divorce
When I’m on Mars I’ll find the source!

Last Resort is where I’ll go
For three-tittied ladies, don’t you know
I want to climb the mountains of Mars
Wholesale memories! I’m in charge!

(chorus)

You idiot! You blew my cover! They’ll kill us all!

Mutated head protrudes from a belly
Speaking from lips that look like jelly
Five kids to feed, that’s what I hear
From Benny the man who got me here
They’re all traitors, none I can trust
Screw you benny! That’s a must
I want to climb the mountains of Mars
Wholesale memories! I’m in charge! Go!

Go!!! Benny! Here! Screeeewww yoooou!

See you at the party, Richter!

End of Days

Moving forward, without the past
I can’t forget that I’m the last
Ask me for faith, nothing to give
My family’s gone, I barely live!
Why should I care, who should I trust?
We are nothing, ashes and dust
Good and evil, I have a choice
With both ears, I hear Satan’s voice!

Turn down Satan and feel the pain!
Or join Satan, End of Days!
End of Days!
Turn down Satan and feel the pain!
Or join Satan, end of days!
With dark forces, I’m sure to gain,
With dark forces, End! Of! Days!

Offer me back what I once lost
A temptation, but at what cost?
I summon strength from deep within
Resist hatred, let go of sin!
Why should I care, who should I trust?
We are nothing, ashes and dust
Good and evil, I have a choice
With both ears, I hear Satan’s voice!

(chorus)

Powers so strong, I must resist
The devil’s feet must not be kissed
I’d rather die, sword through my heart
My family’s dead, we’re left apart!

And now with your last breath,
you will all bear witness…

Why should I care, who should I trust?
We are nothing, ashes and dust
Good and evil, I have a choice
With both ears, I hear Satan’s voice!

You are a fucking choir boy!

Terminator

Nice night for a walk!
Nothing clean, right?!
Your clothes, give them to me!
Fuck you, asshole!

I am the Terminator!
I’ll be back to kill you later!

Twelve geige otto lodert!
Forty-five long solide!
Uzie nein meile leider!
Fuck you, asshole!

(chorus)

Give me your address there
Give me your address there

I’m a friend of Sera Könner!
I was told that she is here!
Can I see her please?!
Fuck you, asshole!

(chorus x2)

Get out!

Commando

Stop screwing around! Let the girl go!
Throw it away! Chicken shit gun!

I only have one arm! It’s me that you want!
I only have one arm! You can beat me!

You don’t just want to! Pull a trigger!
See what’s going on! Going on in there!

Look me in the eye! Put the knife in me!
Look me in the eye! When you turn it!

Bennet! Bennet! I’ll be back!
Bennet! Bennet! I’ll be back!

I remember you! People you tortured!
Tortured and killed! Let off some steam!

I eat green berets! Eat them for breakfast!
I eat green berets! Now I’m hungry!

(chorus)

Ssshhhh…
Remember when I told you I’d kill you last?
I lied.

Let’s party!

Stop screwing around! Let the girl go!
Throw it away! Chicken shit gun!

I only have one arm! It’s me that you want!
I only have one arm! You can beat me!

(chorus)

Raw Deal

It’s a Raw Deal!

It’s all a scam, how it has to be
Fake my death, new identity
With new name, initial P
What’s it for? I say Pussy!

Prosecuted if I don’t resign!
Bullshit promise I hear all the time!
They say I’ll pay if I’m out of line!
A single goal, eliminate crime!

Don’t drink and bake!

Cops vs. cops, so many misled
With this new job, blood gonna be shed
Mob against mob, the family’s dread
Reinstated only when they’re dead!

Case is open, now it can’t be closed!
The deal’s gone raw, led by the bureaus!
Now I’m trapped by the job I chose!
Deal’s gone raw, led by the bureaus!

I want to see better days again!
Go!

It’s a Raw Deal!

DEMO EP02

Formats: CD-R, MP3 Download, Limited-Edition CD

Eager to replace their first demo with a recording more reflective of the rapidly progressing ArnoCorps sound of “action-adventure hardcore rock ‘n’ roll”, this EP was tracked in September 2001. Returning to Burnt Ramen in Richmond, the recording was decidedly low budget, but still managed to attract attention for ArnoCorps when the MP3s were made available for free download worldwide via arnocorps.com. The tracks managed to get college radio play and landed ArnoCorps their first commercial radio appearance at Chicago 101 WKQX.

There were multiple self-pressings of this demo on CD-R format sold at shows up until the end of 2004. At first Raw Deal was a hidden track, but was moved to the official song listing after it became a fan favorite at shows. Eventually the original analog tapes were digitized and a new mix was released in 2011 as a limited edition anniversary pressing on CD under the title “The 2001 EP.” That version also included the original recording of Crom (Strong On His Mountain) from Demo EP01, but with newly recorded vocals and an added guitar solo that was always intended for the track.
