Love...it's a beginning
A justifiable means to an end
And happiness, that triumphant feeling
Only comes from within
But ...you'll...never make the grade
No you'll never, ever reach that plateau
You're down below
And it's where your soul will forever glow
But it's not that ray of sunshine that feels so warm
It's just that bottomless inferno
You're in the depths of hell
And I think that's swell
And I hope you get well
Well done, fried in and out
Burned to a crisp, if that's what I wish
I didn't write the rules
I just follow them to a tee
Cause that's me, I'm evil
I'm hateful, I'm sinful, forgetful, mistrustful
I'm diseased and contagious
I'm suicide, homicide, genocide, pesticide
I'm a human bomb
I'll kill anyone
And so are you, So don't be coy
Cause you too can destroy me like a toy
Not like Mark Bowen
He never done nothin' to no one
... That didn't deserve it.
A justifiable means to an end
And happiness, that triumphant feeling
Only comes from within
But ...you'll...never make the grade
No you'll never, ever reach that plateau

And it's where your soul will forever glow
But it's not that ray of sunshine that feels so warm
It's just that bottomless inferno
You're in the depths of hell
And I think that's swell
And I hope you get well
Well done, fried in and out
Burned to a crisp, if that's what I wish
I didn't write the rules
I just follow them to a tee
Cause that's me, I'm evil
I'm hateful, I'm sinful, forgetful, mistrustful
I'm diseased and contagious
I'm suicide, homicide, genocide, pesticide
I'm a human bomb
I'll kill anyone
And so are you, So don't be coy
Cause you too can destroy me like a toy
Not like Mark Bowen
He never done nothin' to no one

0General Comment:Just gonna say this is not about an angry relationship between one of the band members, it's merely a clever twist to a dramatically spiteful song. All the power is built up in a negative way throughout the song, and by the end, when you get the twist, "Not like Mark Bowen..." all that powerful negativity is reversed to reflect him in a positive light. One thing I like about Faith No More is there's actually poetic power in the lyrics, even before Mike Patton joined the band. I gotta admit some of the songs I'm working on lyrically draw on FNM inspiration. "You're in the depths of hell/And I think that's swell/And I hope you get well". These lines have such happy-go-luckiness with undertones of horror and hatred... I love it.

0General Comment:Mark Bowen was one of the guitarists FNM had before Jim Martin. The lyrics give me the feeling of an angry end to a relationship or friendship.Flag javier138on March 21, 2011 Link
