The America Must Be Destroyed version of “Krak Down” is the first released demo of the song that would later appear on This Toilet Earth. This version was the final track on side A of the Canadian cassette edition of AMBD.
Notably, this demo features vastly different lyrics from the final version,...
[Verse 1]
I'm just a junkie
The crack pipe is my tool
Yet you applaud these efforts
And suck my toxic stool
Addicted to the vapor
The chemical aroma
I ponder self-destruction
As I'm lying in a coma
[Chorus]
I fill the pipe up
This is a Krak Down
I called up every pimp I know
I sucked the pipe up
This is a Krak Down
Observe my bloody overdose
[Verse 2]
Centuries of chaos
And I forgot to wipe
Yet it becomes palatable
When I suck up my pipe
It's just a passing fancy
Of my narcotic urge
And when my brain's reduced to ash
There's still my bowels to purge
[Chorus]
I fill the pipe up
This is a Krak Down
I called up every pimp I know
I sucked the pipe up
This is a Krak Down
Observe my bloody overdose
[Bridge]
A twirling toilet tearing at
Degenerated junkie
A toxic torch, you're wracked with it
A resurrected monkey
Filthy feeling now within you
Coursing through your blood and sinew
Smelly stain is getting wetter
I sure hope that I get better, ohhh...
[Verse 3]
When I'm high, nothing else matters
Big fat head is getting fatter
Bulging eyes no longer see
Bugs are crawling over me
I don't want to be a junkie
Somebody please shoot the monkey
Through the blowhole, pus is streaming
Can anybody hear me screaming?
[Chorus]
I fill the pipe up
This is a Krak Down
I called up every pimp I know
(That I know, that I know, that I know)
I sucked the pipe up
This is a Krak Down
Observe my bloody overdose
I fill the pipe up
This is a Krak Down
I called up every pimp I know
(That I know, that I know, that I know, whoa!)
I sucked the pipe up
This is a Krak Down
Observe my bloody
Observe my bloody
Observe my bloody o-o-o-overdose
