Shattered 03:39
Say what you want about me I’m a bit crazy but there’s no such thing as too much creativity You say you wanna bite me baby yes please you gotta know I love it when you give me a little tease I didn’t know, didn’t know it would get like this I didn’t know, didn’t know I was on her list with just a flick of the wrist, I knew that she’d be missed I’m shattered by your embrace like the way I shattered in your face my brain’s thinking that I’ve had enough but I know a little organ that’s making this tough you couldn’t tell by her face she likes leather and lace I almost missed out on a different kind of taste she put herself where she didn’t belong but she wasn’t wrong I want her all to myself now, but she’s long gone I didn’t know, didn’t know it would get like this I didn’t know, didn’t know I was on her list with what she said through lips so red, she had me out of my head NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA

Mean Girls 02:55
Suppose I hadn’t left you alone with nothing but a few parting words, and a house full of possibilities would you be able to love me? you still love me I was mean, girl, when the mean girls ended we ended! but I barely even know what I said I don’t even remember what I said! HEY! How’s Mr. Beta? Does he look as good as me? do you think he’d stick around if he wasn’t getting in between? I’m gonna be a little bitter ‘fore I get any better you got me all shaken up but after being sleepless, found my weakness, now I’m waking up do you want to be of use to me? then set me free if I wanted to go back to you, it’s cause I didn’t think it through

She Knows 04:16
up up and away she goes she knows, I know she knows it’s wrong, but I can’t help her bouts, she’s killing herself from the inside out I’ll be sad to see her go and hate to say I told her so but I’ve asked her so many times before and she said no just once more baby, then I promise I will quit oh, how blind I must have been to put up with that shit just one more, a cut, a pill pop, a needle in my vein just something to make me feel alright ‘cause I’m fucking up again up up and away she goes she knows, I know she knows it’s wrong, but I can’t help her bouts, she’s killing herself from the inside out I’ll be sad to see her go and hate to say I told her so but I’ve asked her so many times before and she said no I’ll never leave you alone nobody’s going home I’m living in your blood so cut me out, you’re done I know it’s hard to fall asleep at night but just turn out the light and you’ll be fine I swear, I’m never coming back and I’m sticking to that don’t hold me back

Wannabe 04:26
I don’t wanna be a wannabe a part of your hypocrisy but how do I compete in this industry if I don’t wanna be a wannabe we’re all just a click away from fame just depends on whose thumb you’re sucking on the mean green is the way of the machine not like the days of Clapton and Vaughan so you wanna make it big do you wanna go somewhere you got to pay the bills if you don’t have the skills got to pay your way to make the people care ‘cause they don’t care about what you want they just wanna sing along to the siren song I don’t wanna be a wannabe a part of your hypocrisy but how do I compete in this industry if I don’t wanna be a wannabe 'cause they don't care if your heart's not in it hurry up, you've only got one minute to show us what you're made of I don't have words for this part I'm not sure what to say, but it'll go a little something like this ‘cause they don’t care about what you need they just wanna watch you bleed so give them what they need I don’t wanna be a wannabe a part of your hypocrisy but how do I compete in this industry if I don’t wanna be a wannabe I don’t wanna be a wannabe

I said "fuck you". Who needs food? I've got a pack of Black & Milds, and Newports, too. I'll eat the smoke and drink the tar. Have a half a bite of resin and a lick of Djarum All I need is an apple a day. Nobody ever told me otherwise anyway. I'm feeling sick, I'm about to faint, but I've never been happier with my weight three meals a day might make me vomit, don't you worry about the scale, 'cause I'm on top of it If I need food like I need you baby, I could fast for a year or two it's not right, no, it's not new no, it's just what I wanna do my agony is just too much I don't have time for that wicked stuff I know it's wrong, but it's not enough don't bring me down, 'cause I'm fucking up begging you please, intoxicate me so I don't feel the need to eat but not the booze, it's got too many calories and the weed gives me the munchies so I'll stick to goddamned tobacco and suck these fucking things until they seed and the nicotine is a part of me "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" I hate myself now because I thought it was real oh, I don't need to eat no, I don't feel the need it's that little voice inside my head he's screaming out and crying but I need to eat 'cause I need me, but my appetite is not what it used to be I'll admit that I've been weak sometimes it's just to hard to feed but defeat, I'll not concede 'cause I will fight and I'll break free these hunger headaches will recede I need this world, and it needs me

Today, The Zannies are recognized for a signature bass-driven hard rock style and a wide range of songwriting. The band has been described as “blues punk” for their use of pentatonic guitar solos over a punchy rhythm section and blunt vocals.
