Geek Stink Breath (Live at the Electric Factory,Philadelphia 11/14/1997) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm on a mission, I've made my decision
Lead a path of self-destruction
A slow progression, killing my complexion
And it's rotting out my teeth
[Chorus]
I'm on a roll, no self-control
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Well, don't know what I want, and that's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face
[Verse 2]
Every hour, my blood is turning sour
And my pulse is beating out of time
I found a treasure filled with sick pleasure
And it sits on a thin white line
[Chorus]
I'm on a roll, no self-control
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Well, don't know what I want, and that's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face
[Verse 3]
I'm on a mission, I got no decision
Like a cripple running the rat race
A wish in one hand, shit in the other
And see which one gets filled first
I'm on a mission, I've made my decision
Lead a path of self-destruction
A slow progression, killing my complexion
And it's rotting out my teeth
[Chorus]
I'm on a roll, no self-control
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Well, don't know what I want, and that's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face
[Verse 2]
Every hour, my blood is turning sour
And my pulse is beating out of time
I found a treasure filled with sick pleasure
And it sits on a thin white line
[Chorus]
I'm on a roll, no self-control
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Well, don't know what I want, and that's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face
[Verse 3]
I'm on a mission, I got no decision
Like a cripple running the rat race
A wish in one hand, shit in the other
And see which one gets filled first
[Chorus]
I'm on a roll, no self-control
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Well, I don't know what I want, and that's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face

Alright, here's a brand new fucking song
What?
What?
"Eye of the Tiger"?
No, we'll get to that stuff, come on, those are the old hits
This song's called "Nice Guys Finish Last"
I'm on a roll, no self-control
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Well, I don't know what I want, and that's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face

Genius Annotation
“Geek Stink Breath” is about methamphetamine usage. This song does not glorify meth, instead detailing the profoundly negative consequences that addiction carries for a user’s appearance and state of mind. However, it also hints at the nihilism that gets many people into methamphetamine usage in the first place.
The video to the song was banned from television in the 90s due to showing dentistry in great detail.
