American Idiot

Verse 1

Don't want to be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new mania
Can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind fuck America

Chorus

Welcome to the new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be ok
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the one meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

Verse 2

Well maybe i'm the faggot America
I'm not part of the redneck agenda
Now everybody do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia

Chorus

Verse 3

Don't want to be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
Calling out to idiot America

Chorus
Jesus of Suburbia

(full version)

jesus of suburbia

Im the son of rage and love
the jesus of suburbia
from the bible of "none of the above"
on a steady diet or soda pop and ritalin
no one ever died for my sins in hell
as far and i can tell
at least the ones i got away with
but theres nothing wrong
this is how im supposed to be
in the land of make belive
that dont belive in me
get my television fix sitting on my crucifix
the living room in my private womb
while the moms and Brads are away
to fall in love and fall in deist
to alcohol and cigerettes and Mary Jane
To keep me insane and doing someone elses cocaine

CITY OF THE DAMNED

at the center of the earth
in the parking lot of a seven - eleven where i was taught
the motto was just a lie
it says home is where the heart is
but its a shame
because everyone's heart dosent beat the same
we're beating out of time
city of the dead
at the end of another lost highway
sings misleading to nowhere- City Of The Damned
lost children with dirty faces today
no one really seems to care
i read the grafiti in the bathroom stall
like the holy scriptures in a shopping mall
and so it seemed to confess it didnt say much
but it only confirmed that
at the center of the earth is the end of the world
and i could really care less

I DONT CARE

i dont care if you dont
i dont care if you dont
i dont care if you dont care
(x 5)
everyone is so full of shit
born and raised my hypocrits
hearts and recycled but never saved
from the cradle to the grave
we are the kids of war and peace from anahiem to the middle east
we are the stories and disciples of the jesus of suburbia
land of make belive
and it dont belive in me
I DONT CARE!

DEARLY BELOVED

dearly beloved, are you listening?
I cant remember a word that you were saying
are we demented? or am i disturbed?
the space that's in between insane and insecure
oh therapy, can you please fill the void?
am i retarded?
and am i just overjoyed?
nobody's perfect and i stand accused
for lack of a better word and that's my best excuse

TALES OF ANOTHER BROKEN HOME

To live and not to breathe
is to die in tragedy
to run, to run away to find what to belive
and i leave behind this hurricane of fucking lies
i lost my faith to this, this town that dont exist
so i run, i run away
to the light of masochists
and i leave behind this hurricane of fucking lies
and i walked this line a million and one fucking times
but not this time
i dont feel any shame, i wont apologize
when there aint' nowhere you can go
running away from pain when you've been victimized

tales from another broken home
Holiday

Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an armageddon flame (hey!)
The shame, the ones who died without a name
Hear the dogs howlin' out of key
To a hymn called "Faith and Misery"
And bleed, the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest or our lives

On holiday

Hear the drum poundin' out of time
Another protestor has crossed the line
To find, the money's on the other side
Can I get another amen? (Amen!)
There's a flag wrapped around a score of men
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest or our lives
On holiday

The representative from California has the floor

Zeig Heil to the president gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel Towers
Who criticize your government
"Bang bang" goes the broken glass and
Kill all the fags that don't agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not the way that's meant for me!

Just cause...Just cause because we're outlaws, yeah!...

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest or our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest or our lives
This is our lives on holiday...

Boulevard of Broken Dreams

Verse:
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know were it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone I walk alone
I walk alone and I walk a-

Chorus:
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Till then I'll walk alone

Ah..ah..

Verse:
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone
I walk alone I walk alone
I walk alone and I walk a-

Chorus:
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Till then I'll walk alone

Ah..ah..

I walk alone and I walk a-

(Guitar Solo)

Verse:
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of broken dreams
Were the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a-

Chorus:
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Till then I'll walk alone

Are we the Waiting

Starry nights
City lights
Coming down over me
Skyscrapers
And stargazers in my head
Are we we are
Are we we are the waiting unknown?
This dirty town
Was burning down in my dreams
Lost and found
City bound in my dreams

And Screaming-
Are we we are-
Are we we are the Waiting?
And Screaming-
Are we we are-
Are we we are the Waiting?

Forget-me-nots
And second thoughts
Live in isolation
Heads or tails
And fairytales in my mind
Are we we are
Are we we are the waiting unknown?
The rage and love
The story of my life
The Jesus of Suburbia is a lie

And Screaming-
Are we we are-
Are we we are the Waiting?
And Screaming-are we we are-
Are we we are the Waiting Unknown? (x... uh... a couple of times)

Introduction

St. Jimmy’s coming down across the alleyway
Upon the boulevard like a zip gun on parade
Light of a silhouette
He’s insubordinate
Coming at you on the count of 1,2….
1,2,3,4!!!

Verse 1

My name is Jimmy and you better not wear it out,
Suicide commando that your momma talked about.
King of the 40 thieves and I’m here to represent
The needle in the vein of the establishment

Chorus

I’m the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal

Verse 2

Cigarettes and ramen and a little bag of dope
I am the son of a bitch and Edgar Allan Poe
Raised in the city under a halo of lights
The product of war and fear that we’ve been victimized.

Chorus

I’m the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal

ARE YOU TALKING TO ME???

ST. JIMMY!!!

Verse 3

My name is St. Jimmy, I’m the son of a gun
I’m the one that’s from the way outside
I’m a teenage assassin executing some fun
In the cult of the life of crime
I’d really hate to say it, But I told you so
So shut your mouth before I shoot you down ol’ boy
Welcome to the club and give me some blood
I’m the resident leader of the lost and found

OUTRO

It’s comedy
And tragedy
It’s St. Jimmy
And that’s my name

AND DON’T WEAR IT OUT!!!

Give Me Novacaine

Take away the sensation inside
Bitter sweet migraine in my head
Its like a throbbing tooth ache of the mind
I can't take this feeling anymore

Drain the pressure from the swelling,
The sensations overwhelming,
Give me a long kiss goodnight
and everything will be alright
Tell me that I won't feel a thing
So give me Novacaine

Out of body and out of mind
Kiss the demons out of my dreams
I get the funny feeling, that?s alright
Jimmy says it's better than here,
I?ll tell you why

Drain the pressure from the swelling,
The sensations overwhelming,
Give me a long kiss goodnight
and everything will be alright
Tell me that I won't feel a thing,
So give me Novacaine

Oh Novacaine

Drain the pressure from the swelling,
The sensations overwhelming
Give me a long kiss goodnight
and everything will be alright
Tell me Jimmy I won't feel a thing,
So give me Novacaine

She's a Rebel

Chorus

She's a rebel
She's a saint
She's the salt of the earth and she's dangerous
She's a rebel
Vigilante
Missing link on the brink of destruction

verse 1

From chicago
to toronto
she's the one they call old whatsername
she's the symbol
of resistance
and she's holding on my heart like a hand grenade

verse 2

Is she thinking
what im thinking?
is she the mother of all bombs?
gonna detonate
Is she trouble?
like im trouble?
make it a double twist of fate or a melody that

Bridge

She sings the revolution
the dawning of our lives
she brings this liberation
that i just can't define
nothing comes to mind

Outro

She's a rebel
she's a rebel
she's a rebel
and she's dangerous
She's a rebel
she's a rebel
she's a rebel
and she's dangerous

Extraordinary Girl

She's
An Extraordinary girl
In an ordinary world
And she can't seem to get away

He
Lacks the courage in his mind
Like a child left behind
Like a pet left in the rain

She's all alone again
Wiping the tears from her eyes
Some days she feels like dying
She gets so sick of crying

She sees the mirror of herself
And image she wants to sell
To anyone willing to buy

He steals the image in her kiss
From her heart's apocalypse
From the one called whatsername

She's all alone again
Wiping the tears from her eyes
Some days she feels like dying
She gets so sick of crying

She's all alone again
Wiping the tears from her eyes
Some days she feels like dying
Some days it's not worth trying
Now that they've pulled the fun in
She gets so sick of crying

She's
An Extraordinary girl
An Extraordinary girl
An Extraordinary girl
An Extraordinary girl

Letterbomb

Nobody likes you
Everyone left you
They're all out without you
Having fun................

Where have all the bastards gone?
The underbelly stacks up Ten high
The dummy failed the crash test,
Now colecting unemployment checks
like a flunkie only along for the ride

Where have all the riots gone,
As the city's motto gets pulverised?
"Whats in love is now in debt"
On your birth certificate
So strike the fucking match to light this fuse!

The town bishop is an extortionist
And he don't even know that you exist
Standing still when it's go or die,
You better run for your fucking life!

It's not over till you're underground
It's not over before it's too late
This city's burning
It's not my burden
Ti's not over before it's too late
There's nothing left to analyze

Where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself?
And where will we go when it's too late?

YOU'RE NOT THE JESUS OF SUBURBIA!
THE ST. JIMMY IS A FIGMENT OF...
YOUR FATHERS RAGE AND YOUR MOTHERS LOVE
MADE ME THE IDIOT AMERICA

It's not over till you're underground
It's not over before it's too late
This city's burning
It's not my burden
It's not over before it's too late

She said "I can't take this place,
I'm leaving it behind."
She said "I can't take this town,
I'm leaving you tonight."

Wake Me Up When September Ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my father's come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars

Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost

Wake me up when Septmber ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when Septmber ends

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began

Wake me up when septmber ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars

Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost

Wake me up when septmber ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when Septmber ends

Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

Homecoming

Part 1: The death of St. Jimmy]

My heart is beating from me
I am standing all alone
Please call me only if you are coming home
Waste another year flies by
Waste a night or two
You taught me how to live
In the streets of shame
Where you've lost your dreams in the rain
There's no signs of hope
The stems and seeds of the last of the dope
There's a glow of light
The St. Jimmy is the spark in the night
Bearing gifts and trust
The fixture in the city of lust
What the hell's your name?
What's your pleasure and whats your pain?
Do you dream to much?
Do you think what you need is a crutch?
In the crowd of pain. St. Jimmy comes without any shame
He says ?we're fucked up?
But we're not the same
And mom and dad are the ones you can blame

Jimmy died today

He blew his brains out into the bay
In the state of mind it's my own private suicide

[Part 2: East 12th St.]

Well nobody cares
Well nobody cares
Does anyone care if nobody cares?
[x2]

Jesus filling out paperwork now
At the facility on east 12th st.
He's not listened to a word now
He's in his own world
And he's daydreaming

He'd rather be doing something else now,
Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly,
His life's on the line with anxiety now,
And she had enough,
And he had plenty

Somebody get me out of here
Anybody get me out of here
Somebody get me out of here
Get me the fuck right out of here

So far away
I don't want to stay
Get me out of here right now
I just wanna be free
Is there a possibility?
Get me out of here right now
This life like aint for me

[Part 3: Nobody likes you!]

I fell asleep while watching spike TV
After 10 cups of coffee
And you're still not here
Dreaming of a song
But something went wrong
But I can't tell anyone
'Cause no one's here
Left me here alone
And I should have stayed home
After 10 cups of coffee I'm thinking
(where'd you go?)
Nobody likes you, everyone left you
(where'd you go?)
They're all out without you havin' fun
(where'd you go?)
Everyone left you, nobody likes you
(where'd you go?)
They're all out without you havin' fun
(where'd you go..go..go..go..)

Geeze...Ha..

[Part 4: Rock and roll girlfriend]

I got a rock and roll band
I got a rock and roll life
I got a rock and roll girlfriend
And another ex-wife
I got a rock and roll house
I got a rock and roll car
I play the shit out the drums
And I can play the guitar
I got a kid in new york
I got a kid in the bay
I haven't drank or smoked nothin'
In over 22 days
So get off my case

[Part 5: We're coming home again]

Here they come marching down the street
Like a desperation murmur of a heart beat
Coming back from the edge of town
Underneath their feet
The time has come and it going nowhere
Nobody ever said that life was fair now
Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear
In the summer heat
The world is spinning
Around and around
Out of control again
From the 7-11 to the fear of breaking down
To send my love a letterbomb
And visit me in hell
We're the ones going

Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again

I started fuckin' running
As soon as my feet touched the ground
We're back in the Barrio
But to you and me, that's jingle town

Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again

Nobody likes you
Everyone left you
They're all out without you havin' fun
Whatsername

Thought I ran into you down on the street
Then it turned out to only be a dream
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face
But I cant recall the name
Now I wonder how whatsername has been

Seems that she disappeared without a trace
Did she ever marry old what's his face?
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face
But I cant recall the name
Now I wonder how whatsername has been

Remember, whatever
It seems like forever ago
Remember, whatever
It seems like forever ago
The regrets are useless
In my mind
She's in my head
I must confess
The regrets are useless
She's in my head
From so long ago

(Go, Go, Go, Go..)

And in the darkest night
If my memory serves me right
I'll never turn back time
Forgetting you, but not the time.

Shenanigans [2002]

2005-10-20T01:36:00.000-07:00

Suffocate

3 am, I'm drunk again,
My head is standing underneath my puke,
So make it stop, I'm getting off.
Make it stop, I'm getting off.
Sedatives and dizzy spells
And feeling like a salad in my puke,
So make it stop, I'm getting off.
Make it stop I'm getting off.

Well, slipped into a coma once again.
Where's my organ donor?
Lend a hand.

So when you think you're all alone,
No one's left to come around,
Drop like flies and empathize,
Cause I know that I will someday,
And I know that I will suffocate,
Suffocate, suffocate, suffocate.

One night stands and cheap regrets,
I take another drag off of my cigarette,
So stop, I'm getting off.
Make it stop, I'm getting off.
One last stop for one track mind,
Just give me shelter, give me give me something.
Make it stop, I'm getting off.
Make it stop, I'm getting off.

Well, slipped into a coma once again.
Where's my organ donor?
Lend a hand.

So when you think you're all alone,
No one's left to come around,
Drop like flies and empathize,
Cause I know that I will someday,
And I know that I will suffocate,
Suffocate, suffocate, suffocate.
Desensitized

Clenching my teeth tight
My head is like a sponge
Give it to me free
I wanna get ripped off
And drown in the airwaves
Another fatal wreck
On the information highway
So go ahead and kill yourselves
It all amuses me
For I'll be damned to spend
My life in hell
Another wise ingrete

Bring me blood and pain
Of a stranger's fate
Give it all away
Gimme gimme now
I'm desensitized
I wanna watch the bomb
Blow the masses high

You Lied

You gotta problem you just can't hide,
Compulsive habits that never seem to die,
Your breath is takin' up all the air,
Your teeth are rotting to black holes in your head,

Well reality is due,
What you say just can't be true,
When the story is streched and so far fetched,
That you're lackin' an excuse,
You lied,

Your mother allowed you for just one white lie,
But now she's dead and she left you with a problem,
Pinocchio has pierced your tongue,
Your nose is growin' into the third dimension,

Well reality is due,
What you say just can't be true,
When the story is streched and so far fetched,
That you're lackin' an excuse,
You lied,

Ah... get up,

(Guitar Solo)

Well reality is due,
What you say just can't be true,
When the story is streched and so far fetched,
That you're lackin' an excuse,
You lied,
Outsider

(chorus)
I'm an outsider, outside of everything
I'm an outsider, outside of everything
I'm an outsider, outside of everything
Everything you know, everything you know
It disturbs me so

(verse)
Everybody tried to push me, push me around
Everybody tried put me, tried to put me down

(bridge)

All messed up everyone
I've already had all my fun
More troubles are gonna come
I've already had all my fun
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Don't Wanna Fall in Love

Don't want to have you hanging
Around me like a leech
I think your just a problem
So stay the hell away from me
Because I don't believe in you
And I wanna sit here all my life alone
This may sound a little rough
Don't want to fall in love

Don't need security
I ain't no dog without a bone
Don't have no time for love
So stay the fuck away from me
Because I don't believe in you

And I wanna sit here all my life alone
This may sound a little rough
Don't want to fall in love
This may sound a little fucked
Don't want to fall in love
Espionage

["Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me" Soundtrack - 1999]

[Instrumental]

I Want to Be on T.V.

Wanna be a pretty boy
Wanna go on solid gold
Wanna date a millionaire
Wanna make people stare

I wanna be on t.v.
Want people to know me
I want to be on t.v.
Started out in 64
Gonna be an omnivore
Wanna make people dance
Gonna take off my pants

On a magazine
Gonna have some free cocain
Wanna wear my calvin kleins
Then the world will be all mine
Scumbag

(verse 1)
You come around every now and then
Your clothes are different but you're still the same
Why else would you come here?
Scumbag on a mission
You're telling me that it's been awhile
Shit-eating grin and a brand new lie
Somebody let you come here
Scumbag with permission

(chorus 1)
Never thought I'd see
The likes of you around this place
What's the special occasion?
Did you run out of friends?

(verse 2)
Here you are, comin 'round again
And things are different but you still pretend
You've got a reason to come here
Scumbag with ambition
And now you're telling me that things have changed
And you'll be leavin in a couple of days
You're gonna change the world someday
Scumbag with a vision

(chorus 2)
It must be nice to know
You've got it all figured out
But from where I'm sittin
It's the same thing again and again

(bridge)

(chorus 3)
You never stop to think
Before you open up your mouth
Cuz every time you do
It's the same thing again and again

Tired of Waiting for You

So tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
(repeat)

I was a lonely soul
I had nobody till I met you
But you, keeping me waiting, all of the time
What can I do?

It's your life
And you can do what you want
Do what you like
But please don't keep me waiting
Please don't keep me waiting

Cuz I'm so tired
Tired of waiting
Tired of waiting for you
(repeat)

Sick of Me

Why can't you just admit it, you've had it, you're sick of me
You're fed up with all my bad habits, you're sick of me
To your lies you've become so desensitized sick of me
Lost regrets and you say that your mad at me sick of me
Wonderin' out the door
I am on to you
Your comin' back for more
Am I losing you?
Like a dog that just pissed on your barbecue sick of me
Losin' faith and you still don't know what to do sick of me
Losin' health and now you hate everything and you're sick of me
It's a waste but we still keep on tryin' you're sick of me
So you got your problems
So you got it alright
Do you have a conscience?
Do you have a reason?
Well I'm sick of you too.

Rotting

I'm rotting inside
My flesh turns to dust
Whisper, are you dying in my ear?
I'm so sick to death
Tumors in my head
Whisper, are you dying in my ear?
Black rose of death
In my fist I clutch
Thorns shred my finger tips
And drips toxic blood
Kiss me one last time
Wipe off my sweat
Whisper,are you dying in my ear?
As my bones they rust
20lbs of trust
Whisper, are you dying in my ear?
Black rose of death
In my fast like lunch
Thorns shred my finger tips
And drips toxic blood
I'm rotting inside
My flesh turns to dust
Whisper,are you dying in my ear?
Kiss me one last time
Wipe off my sweat
Whisper, are you dying in my ear?
Whisper, are you dying in my ear?

Do Da Da

Every time I'm falling down
You take the repurcussions
Headaches and anxieties
Advancing my frustrations

Rush into my depression
Sacrifice everything
Waste with me into nothing
Well now you're stuck with me

Hand up your soul to my wrist
And I'll vow my trust to you
Moving on and I always thought
I realized you've imagined
You take the repurcussions
Headaches and anxieties
Advancing my frustrations

Rush into my depression
Sacrifice everything
Waste with me into nothing
Well now you're stuck with me

Hand up your soul to my wrist
And I'll vow my trust to you
Moving on and I always thought
I realized you've imagined.

On the Wagon

Sometimes it get's real hard
And I need some kind of output
For unput twice the size of my one inch mind
So slap me on the hand
Put it right back down my pants
Kick me in the ass

Well today I say sweet things
But tomorrow I'll be making up excuses
For my actions because it's been so long
Since I've been in love

That special kind of feeling
Guess my best excuse
I'm on the wagon again

Well I got no real excuse
I'm on the wagon again
Hey

Ha Ha You're Dead

and ill be cheering that your going down,

How many feelings can you steal?
Gotta be part of your appeal

Like chewing on tinfoil once again

Coz look how things have gotten
And I'll be happy so I wont pretend
And I'll be cheering that you're going down
And I'll be laughing

Ha ha you're dead

Ha ha you're dead
The joke is over
You were an asshole
And now you're gone
As your ship is going down
I'll stand by and watch you drown
Ha ha you're dead
Ha ha you're dead
Ha ha you're dead

Ha ha you're dead
You're gonna be dead
Just remember what I said
Ha ha you're dead
Ha ha you're dead
Ha ha you're dead

Maria

She smashed the radio with the board of education
Turn up the static left of the state of the nation
Turn up the flame, step on the gas
Burning the flag at half mast
She's a rebel's forgotten son
An export of the revolution
She is the first voice of the last ones in the line
She'll drag the lake to keep the vendetta alive
Bring in the head of the government
The dog ate the document
Somebody shot the president
And no one knows where maria went?
Maria, maria, maria,
Where did you go? ...
Be careful what you're offering
Your breath lacks the conviction
Drawing the line in the dirt
Because the last decision
...is no.

Poprocks & Coke

Wherever you go, you know I'll be there
If you go far, you know I'll be there
I'll go anywhere, so I'll see you there
You place the name you know I'll be there
You name the time you know I'll be there
I'll go anywhere, so I'll see you there
I don't care if you don't mind
I'll be there not far behind
I will dare, keep in mind
I'll be there for you
Where there's the truth,
You know I'll be there
Amongst the lies,
You know I'll be there
I'll go anywhere,
So I'll see you there
If you should fall, you know I'll be there
To catch the call, you know I'll be there
I'll go anywhere, so I'll see you there

J.A.R. (Jason Andrew Relva)

My friend drove off the other day,
And now he's gone and all they say,
Is you gotta live cause life goes on
But now I see i'm mortal too
I can't live my life like you
Gotta live it up while life goes on

And I think it's alright
That I do what I like cause that's the way I wanna live
And so I give
And i'm still giving

And now I wonder about my friend
If he gave all he could give
Cause he lived his life like I live mine
If you could see inside my head
Then you'd start to understand
The things I value in my heart

You know that,
I know that,
Your watching me

Gotta make a plan
Gotta do what's right
Can't run around in circles
If you wanna build a life
But I don't wanna make a plan
For a day far away
While i'm young and while i'm able
All I wanna do is....

Blood, Sex & Booze

Waiting in a room
All dressed up and bound and gagged
To a chair
It's so unfair
I won't dare move, for the pain
She puts me through is what I need
So make it bleed

I'm in distress, oh mistress
I confess so do it one more time
These handcuffs are too tight
You know I will obey, so please
Don1t make me beg
For blood, sex and booze you give me

Some say i1m disturbed
But it1s what I deserve, another lesson
To be learned...from a girl called kill
My head is in the gutter
Thank you sir, strike up another mandolin
Of discipline
Throw me to the dogs
Let them eat my flesh down
To the wood
It feels so good
Church On Sunday

Today is the first day of the rest
Of our lives
Tomorrow is too late to pretend
Everything1s allright
I1m not getting any younger as long
As you don1t get any older
I1m not going to state that yesterday never was

Bloodshot deadbeat and a lack of sleep
Making your mascara bleed
Tears down your face
Leaving traces of my mistakes

If I promise to go to church on sunday
Will you go with ne on friday night?
If you live with me, i1ll die for you
And this compromise

I hereby solenly to tell
The whole truth
And nothing but the truth is what
I1ll ever hear from you
Trust is a dirty word that comes
Only from such a liar
But respect is something I will earn..
If you have faith

Fashion Victim

He's a victim of his own time
In his vintage suit and tie
He's casualty dressed to the teeth
In the latest genocide
The new seasons come and go
At the dog and pony show
Gonna sit and beg and fetch the names
And fallow the dress codes
What's in a name? ...hey!

She's a scented magazine
Looking sharp and living clean
Living well and dressed to kill
But she looks like hell to me

So when you1re dancing through your wardrobe
Do the anorex - a go-go
Cloaked with style
For pedophiles as the credit card explodes

You auctioned off your life
For the most expensive price
Going once...
Going twice...
Now it's gone

(youth crew)

You auctioned off your life
For the most expensive price
Going once...
Going twice...
Now it's gone

What's in a name, hey?
What's in a name, hey?
What's in a name?

Castaway

I1m on a sentimental journey
Into sight and sound
Of no return and no looking back or down
A conscientes objector to the
War that1s my mind
Leaving in the lurch and i1m
Taking back what1s mine

I1m on a mission
Into destination unkown
An expidition
Onto desolation road
Where i1m a...

Castaway - going at it alone
Castaway - now i1m on my own
Castaway - going at it alone
Castaway - now i1m on my own
Lost and found, trouble bound
Castaway

I1m riding on the night train and
Driving stolen cars
Testing my nerves out of the blvd.
Spontaneous combustion in the
Corners of my mind
Leaving in the lurch
And iom taking back what1s mine

I1m on a mission
Into destination unkown
An expidition
Onto desolation road
Where i1m a...

Castaway - going at it alone
Castaway - now i1m on my own
Castaway - going at it alone
Castaway - now i1m on my own
Lost and found, trouble bound
Castaway

Misery

Virginia was a lot lizard from f.l.a.
She had a compound fracture in the trunk
It started when she run away
Thumbs out out on the interstate
She hitched a ride to misery

Mr. whirly had a catastrophic incident
He fell into the city by the bay
He liquidated his estate
Now he sleeps upon the haight
Panhanding misery

He's gonna get high
When he's low
The fire burns from better days
And she screems why
I said I don't know
The catastrophic hymnes from yesterday
Of misery

Vinnie was a hustler out of amsterdam
He ran the drug cartel in tinseltown
They found him in a cadillac
Bludgeoned with a baseball bat in the name
Of misery

Gina hit the road to new york city
Mysteriously the night vinnie croaked
She stopped in vegas to elope
With virgina and the dope
And kissed the bride eternally

And they're gonna get high
When they're low
The fire burns from better days
And he screams why
I said I don't know
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
Of misery

Hell hounds on your trail now once again ...boy
It's groping on your leg until it sleeps
The emptiness will fill your soul with sorrow
Because it's not what you make,,,,it's what you leave

And we're gonna get high
When I'm low
The fire burns from better days
And she screams why
I said I don't know
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
Of misery

Deadbeat Holiday

Wake up, the house is on fire
And the cat's caught in the dryer
Philosophy's a liar when
Your home is your headstone
Icon is the last chance for hope
When there's no such thing as heroes
Your faith lies in the ditch that
You dug yourself in

Last chance to piss it all away
Nothing but hell to pay
When the lights are going down

Deadbeat holiday - celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
On a noose over your home

Deadbeat holiday - get on your knees and pray
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
But at least you're not alone
Christmas lights in the middle of august
Grudges come back to haunt us
Your oldest allies are your long lost enemies
Grounded in a duplex to find that
You're living on a landmine
Vacation hotspots is a cemetery drive

Last chance to piss it all away
Nothing but hell to pay
When the lights are going down

Deadbeat holiday - celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
On a noose over your home

Deadbeat holiday - get on your knees and pray
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
But at least you're not alone

Last chance to piss it all away
Nothing but hell to pay when all you
Want to do is...not to....give up......

Hold On

As I stepped to the edge
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
With my conscience beating
Like the pulse of a drum
That hammers on and on
Until I reach the break of the day
As the sun beats down
The halfway house
Has my conscience beating
The sound in my ear
The will to perserve
As I reach the break of the day

When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapstakes & losers
Nothing's left to cling onto
You got to hold on yourself

A cry of hope
A plea for peace
And my conscience beating
It's not what I want for
It's all that I need
To reach the break of the day
So I run to the edge
Beyond the shadows of a doubt
With my conscience bleeding
Here lies the truth
The lost treasures of my youth
As I hold on to the break of the day

When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapstakes & losers
Nothing's left to cling onto
You got to hold on yourself

When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapstakes & losers
Nothing's left to cling onto
You got to hold on yourself

Jack Ass

To know you is to hate you
So loving you must be like suicide
I don't mind if you don't mind
I'm not the one that's going to die
I guess I just can't listen
To this one sided conversation again
'cause I don't care if I don't care
No one ever said that life is fair

Everybody loves a joke
But no one likes a fool
And you're always cracking the same old lines again
You're well rehearsed on every verse
And that was stated clear
But no one understands your verity

The center of attention
Got an honorable mention once again
Congratulations and salutations
You're a figment of your own imagination

Everybody loves a joke
But no one likes a fool
And you're always cracking the same old lines again
You're well rehearsed on every verse
And that was stated clear
But no one understands your verity

To know you is to bait you
And you fell victim to your own denial
I don't mind if you don't mind
If you're wasting all your time

Waiting

I've been waiting for a long time
For this moment to come
I'm destined
For anything...at all
Downtown lights will be shining
On me like a diamond
Ring out under the midnight hour
No one can touch me now
And I can't turn my back
It's too late ready or not at all

I'm so much closer than
I have ever known...
Wake up

Dawning of a new era
Calling...don't let it catch you falling
Ready or not at all
So close enough to taste it
Almost...i can embrace this
Feeling....on the tip of my tongue

I'm so much closer than
I have ever known...
Wake up
Better thank your lucks stars....

I've been waiting for a long time
For this moment to come
I'm destined for anything at all

Dumbstruck
Colour me stupid
Good luck
You're gonna need it
Where I'm going if I get there...
At all....

Wake up
Better thank your lucky stars....

Minority

I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'cause I want to be the minority

I pledge allegiance to the underworld
One nation under dog
There of which I stand alone
A face in the crowd
Unsung, against the mold
Without a doubt
Singled out
The only way I know

I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'cause I want to be the minority

Stepped out of the line
Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time
To my own beat now
The only way I know

One light, one mind
Flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
For crying out loud she screamed unto me
A free for all
F*** 'em all
You are your own sight

I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'cause I want to be the minority

Macy's Day Parade

Today's a macy's day parade
The night of the living dead is on it's way
With the credit report for duty call
It's a lifetime guarantee
Stuffed in a coffin, ten percent more free
Red light special at the mausoleum

Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed to you
What's the consolation prize
Caught in these side dreams of hope

When I was kid I thought
I wanted all the things that haven't got
Oh, but I learned the hardest way
Then I realized what it took
To tell the difference between thieves and crooks
Let's learn, me and you

Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed
Cause I'm thinking about a brand new hope
One I've never known
Cause now I know it's all that I wanted

Nice Guys Finish Last

Nice guys finish last
You're running out of gas
Your sympathy will get you left behind

Sometimes you're at your best
When you look the worst

Do you feel washed up
Like piss going down the drain

Pressure cooker pick my brain and tell me I'm insane
I'm so fucking happy I could cry
Every joke can have it's truth and now the joke's on you
I never knew you were such a funny guy

Oh nice guys finish last
When you are the outcast
Don't pat yourself on the back
You might break your spine

Living on command
You're shaking lots of hands
Kissing up and bleeding all your trust
Taking what you need
Bite the hand that feeds
You kill your memory

Hitchin' A Ride

Hey mister, where you headed?
Are you in a hurry?
I need a lift to happy hour say oh no
Do you brake for distilled spirits?
I need a break aswell
The well that inebriates the guilt
1,2,1,2,3,4

Cold turkey's getting stale
Tonight I'm eating crow
Fermented salmonella poison oak no
There's a drought at the fountain of youth
And I'm dehydrating
My tongue is swelling up
I say 1,2,1,2,3,4

Troubled times
You know I cannot lie
I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin' a ride

There's a drought at the fountain of youth
And now I'm dehydrating
My tongue is swelling up
I say
Shit!

Troubled times
You know I cannot lie
I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin' a ride
Hitchin' a ride [*8]

The Grouch

I was a young boy that had big plans
Now I'm just another shitty old man
I don't have fun and I hate everything
This world owes me so fuck you

Glory days don't mean shit to me
I drank a six pack of apathy
Life's a bitch and so am I
The world owes me so fuck you

Wasted youth and a fistful of ideas
I had a young and optimistic point of view
Wasted youth and a fistful of ideas
I had a young and optimistic point of view

I've decomposed yet my gut's getting fat
Oh my God, I'm turning out like my Dad
I'm always rude, I've a bad attitude
The world owes me so fuck you

The wife's a nag and the kids fucking up
I don't have sex 'cause I can't get it up
I'm just a grouch sitting on the couch
The world owes me so fuck you

Redundant

We're living in repetition
Content in the same old shtick again
Now the routine's turning to contention
Like a production line going over and over and over
Roller coaster

Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice
I'm speechless and redundant
'Cause I love you's not enough
I'm lost for words

Choreographed and lack of passion
Prototypes of what we were
Went full circle 'til I'm nauseous
Taken for granted now
Now I waste it, I faked it, I ate it, now I hate it

'Cause I cannot speak, I lost my voice
I'm speechless and redundant
'Cause I love you's not enough
I'm lost for words, now I cannot speak

Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice
I'm speechless and redundant
'Cause I love you's not enough
I'm lost for words

Scattered

I've got some scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor
Reminds me of the times we shared
Makes me wish that you were here
Now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life
All the songs have been erased
Guess I've learned from my mistakes

Open the past and present now and we are there
Story to tell and I am listening
Open the past and present and the future too
It's all I've got and I'm giving it to you

Loose ends tied in knots leaving a lump down in my throat
Gagging on a souvenir
Lodged to fill another year
Drag it on and on until my skin is ripped to shreds
Leaving my self wide open
Living out a sacrifice

If you got no one and I got no place to go
Would it be alright? Could it be alright?

All The Time

All the time
Evertime I need it
What's the time?
I'd say the time is right
Here's to me
Let's find another reason
Down the hatch
And a bad attitude salud

Wasting time, wasting time down a bum fuck road
And I don't know where the hell it'll go
Heirlooms and huffing fumes I'm picking up the pace
And I'm gonna smash it straight into a wall

All the time
A "New Year's Resolution"
How soon that we forget loving every minute
Live it up on another let down salud

Promises, promises, it was all set in stone
Cross my heart and hope to die
Sugar fix, dirty tricks and a trick question
Guess I should have read between the lines

Having the time of my life
Watching the clock tick
Having the time of my life
Watching the clock tick
All the time
Where did all the time go?
It's too late to say goodnight
Time flies when you're having fun
Times up when you work like a dog salud

Worry Rock

Another sentimental argument and bitter love
Fucked without a kiss again and dragged it through the mud
Yelling at brick walls and punching windows made of stone
The worry rock has turned to dust and fallen on our pride

A knocked down dragged out fight
Fat lips and open wounds
Another wasted night
And no one will take the fall

Where do we go from here?
And what did you do with directions?
Promise me no dead end streets
And I'll guarantee we'll have the road

Platypus (I Hate You)

Your rise and fall
Back up against the wall
What goes around is coming back and haunting you
It's time to quit
Cause you ain't worth the shit
Under my shoes or the piss on the ground

No one loves you and you know it
Don't pretend that you enjoy it or you don't care
Cause now I wouldn't lie or tell
you all the things you want to hear
I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU

I heard you're sick
Sucked on that cancer stick
A throbbing tumor and a radiation high
Shit out of luck
And now your time is up
It brings me pleasure just to know you're going to die

Dickhead, fuckface, cock smoking, mother fucking,
Asshole, dirty twat, waste of semen, I hope you die HEY

Red eye, code blue
I'd like to strangle you
And watch your eyes bulge right out of your skull
When you go down
Head first into the ground
I'll stand above you just to piss on your grave

Uptight

I woke up on the wrong side of the floor
Made, made my way through the front door
Broke my engagement with myself
Perfect picture of bad health
Another notch scratched on my belt
The future just ain't what it used to be

I got a new start on a dead end road
Peaked, peaked out on reaching new lows
Owed, I paid off all my debts to myself
Perfect picture of bad health
Another notch scratched on my belt
The future's in my living room

Uptight, I'm a nag with a gun yeah
All night, suicide's last call
I've been uptight all night
I'm a son of a gun

Last Ride In

(instrumental)
Jinx

I fucked up again it's all my fault
So turn me around and face the wall
Read me my rights and tell me I'm wrong
Until it gets into my thick skull

A slap on the wrist
A stab in the back
Torture me, I've been a bad boy
Nail me to the cross until you have won
I lost before I did any wrong

I'm hexed with regrets and bad luck
Keep you distance 'cause it's rubbing off
Or you will be damned to spend your life in hell
Or earth with me tangled at your feet
You finally met you nemesis disguised as your fatal long lost love
So kiss it good bye
Until death do we part
You fell for a jinx for crying out loud

Haushinka

Haushinka is a girl with a peculiar name
I met her on the eve of my birthday
Did she know, did she know, before she went away
Does she know? Does she know? But it's too damn late

This girl has gone far away - now she's gone
This girl has gone far away - now she's gone
This girl has gone far away - now she's gone
This girl has gone far away - now she's gone
Now she's gone, now she's gone, she's all gone

All I have now is a memory to date
A cheap hat and cigarettes, and a peculiar name
I didn't know, I didn't know, before she went away
I know now, I know now, and it's too damn late

Will she ever find her way?
I'm too damn young to be too late, but am I?
Yet again I'm kicking myself
And I'll be here in battle scars
Waiting for you
Waiting for you now

Walking Alone

Come together like a foot in a shoe
Only this time I think I stuck my foot in my mouth
Thinking out loud and acting in vain
Knocking over anyone that stands in my way

Sometimes I need to apologize
Sometimes I need to admit that I ain't right
Sometimes I should just keep my mouth shut, or only say hello
Sometimes I still feel I'm walking alone

Walk on eggshells on my old stomping ground,
Yet there's really no one left, that's hanging around
Isn't that another familiar face?
Too drunk to figure out they're fading away

Reject

Who the hell are you to tell me what I am
And what's my master plan
What makes you think that it includes you?
Self-righteous wealth
Stop flattering yourself
So when the smoke clears here I am
Your reject all-American

Sucking up you social sect
Making you a nervous wreck
To hell and back and hell again I've gone
You're not my type
Not my type

What's the difference between you and me?
I do what I want, and you do what you're told
So listen up and shut the hell up
It ain't no big deal
And I'll see you in hell
So when the smoke clears here I am
Your reject all-American

Falling from grace, right on my face
To hell and back and hell again I've gone

Take Back

You pushed me once too far again
I'd like to break your fucking teeth
Stick a knife in the center of your back
You better grow some eyes in the back of your head
I fight dirty, just like your looks
Can't take, can't take, can't take anymore

Take back, take back, take

The taste of bad blood on the tip of my tongue
An eye for an eye
Gun for a gun
Cold-cocked and I'm taking back what's mine
Expect it when you're least expecting it
No loss of love, the smell of regret
Lights out can't take anymore

Take back, take back, take back, take back

Shit

King For A Day

Started at the age of 4
My mother went to the grocery store
Went sneaking through her bedroom door
To find something in a size 4

Sugar and spice and everything nice
Wasn't made only for girls
GI Joe in panty hose
Is making room for the one and only

King for a day, Princess by dawn
King for a day in a leather thong
King for a day, Princess by dawn
Just wait 'til all the guys get a load of me

My daddy threw me in therapy
He thinks I'm not a real man
Who put the drag in the drag queen
Don't knock it until you tried it

Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)

Another turning point
A fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist
Directs you where to go
So make the best of this test
And don't ask why
It's not a question
But a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs
And still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf of
Good health and good time
Tattoos of memories
And dead skin on trial
For what it's worth
It was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

Prosthetic Head

I see you
Down in the front line
Such a sight for sore eyes
You're a suicide makeover

Plastic eyes
Looking through a numbskull
Sell effaced, what's his face
You erased yourself so shut up
You don't let up

You have a growth that must be treated
Like a sudden severe pain in the neck
You can smell it but you can't see it
No explanation identified 'cause
You don't know
You don't say

And you got no reply
Hey you, where did you come from?
Got a head full of lead
You're an inbred bastard son
All dressed up, redblooded
A mannequin

Do or die, no reply
Don't deny that you're synthetic
You're pathetic

Insomniac [1995]

Armatage Shanks

Stranded...lost inside myself
My own worst friend
My own closest enemy
Branded...maladjusted
Never trusted anyone
Let alone myself
I must insist
On being a pessimist
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind
Elected the rejected
I perfected the science of the idiot
No meaning...no healing
Self loathing freak and introverted deviot
Brat

Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days
They're getting over the hill
Death is closing in and catching up
As far as I can tell
Got a plan of action and cold blood
And it smells of defiance
I'll just wait for Mom and Dad to die
And got my inheritance
Now I want more
'Cause I'm getting bored
And I'm going nowhere fast
I was once filled with doubt
Now it's all figured out
Nothing good can last
Crows feet and rot are setting in
And time is running out
My parent's income interest rate
Is gaining higher clout
I'm a snot nosed slob
Without a job
And I know I damn well should
Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days
But my future's looking good

Stuck with Me

I'm not part of your elite
I'm just alright
Class structure waving colors
Bleeding from my throat
Not subserviant to you I'm just alright
Down classed by the powers that be
Give me loss of hope
Cast out... Buried in a hole
Struck down... forcing me to fall
Destroyed... giving up the fight
I know I'm not alright
What's my price and will you pay it if it's alright?
Take it from my dignity
waste it until it's dead
Throw me back into the gutter
'Cause it's alright
Find another pleasure fucker
Drag them down to hell

Geek Stink Breath

I'm on a mission
I made my decision
To lead a path of self destruction
A slow progression
Killing my complexion
And it's rotting out my teeth
I'm on a roll
No self comtrol
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Don't know what I want
That's all that I've got
And I'm picking scabs off my face
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
I'm on a mission
I got no decision
Like a cripple running the rat race
Wish in one hand shit in the other
And see which one gets filled first

No Pride

I'm just a mutt
And nowhere is my home
Where dignity's a land mine
In the school of lost hope
I've panhandled for a life because
I'm not afraid to beg
Hand me down your lost and founds
Of second hand regret
You better swallow your pride
Or you're gonna choke on it
You better digest your values
Because they turn to shit
Honor's gonna knock you down
Before your chance to stand up and fight
I know I'm not the one
I got no pride
Sects of disconnection
And traditions of lost faith
No culture's worth a stream of piss
Or a bullet in my face
To hell with unity
Seperation's gonna kill us all
Torn to shreds and disjointed
Before the final fall

Bab's Uvula Who?

I've got a knack for fucking everything up
My temper flies and I get myself all wound up
My fuse is short and my blood pressure is high
I lose control and I get myself all wound up
Tension mounts and I fly off the wall
I self destruct and I get myself all wound up
Petulance and irritation sets in
I throw a tantrum and I get myself all wound up
Chip on my shoulder and a leech on my back
Stuck in a rut and I get myself all wound up
Killed my composure and it will never come back
Loss of control and I get myelf all wound up
Blown out of proportion again
My temper snaps and I get myself all wound up
Spontaneous combustion
Panic attack
I slipped a gear and I get myself all wound up

86

What brings you around?
Did you lose something the last time you were here?
You'll never find it now
It's buried deep with your identity
So stand aside and let the next one pass
Don't ket the door kick you in the ass
There's no return from 86
Don't even try
Exit out the back
And never show your head around again
Purchase your ticket and
Quickly take the last train out of town

Panic Song

Ready for a cheap escape
On the brink of self destruction
Widespread panic
Broken glass inside my head
Bleeding down these thoughts of
Anguish... mass confusion
The world is a sick machine
Breeding a mass of shit
With such a desolate conclusion
Fill the void with... I don't care
There's a plague inside of me
Eating at my disposition
Nothing's left
Torn out of reality
Into a state of no opinion
Limp with hate

Stuart and the Ave.

Standing on the corner of
Stuart and the Avenue
Ripping up my transfer
And a photograph of you
You're a blur of my dead past and rotting existance
As I stand laughing on the corner of insignificance
Destiny is dead
In the hands of bad luck
Before it might have made some sense
But now it's all fucked up
Seasons change as well as minds
And I'm a two faced clown
You're mommy's little nightmare
Driving daddy's car around
I'm beat down and half brain dead
The long lost king of fools
I may be dumb
But I'm not stupid enough to stay with you

Brain Stew

I'm having trouble trying to sleep
I'm counting sheep but running out
As time ticks by
And still I try
No rest for crosstops in my mind
On my own... here we go
My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry
My face is numb
Fucked up and spun out in my room
On my own... here we go
My mind is set on overdrive
The clock is laughing in my face
A crooked spine
My sense dulled
Passed the point of delerium
On my own... here we go

Jaded

Somebody keep my balance
I think I'm falling off
Into a state of regression
The expiration date
Rapidly coming up
It's leaving me behind to rank
Always move forward
Going "straight" will get you nowhere
There is no progress
Evolution killed it all
I found my place in nowhere
I'm taking one step sideways
Leading with my crutch
Got a fucked up equilibrium
Count down from 9 to 5
Hooray! We're gonna die!
Blessed into our extinction

Westbound Sign

Boxed up
All of her favorite things
Sold the rest at a rainy yard sale
Big plans and leaving friends and
A westbound sign
Weighed out
Her choices on a scale
Prevailing nothing made sense
Just transportation and a
Blank decision... she's taking off
No time and no copping out
She's burning daylight and petrol
Blacked out the rearview mirror
Heading westward on
Strung out
On confusion road
And ten minute nervous breakdowns
Xanex a beer for thought
And she determined... She's taking off
Is it salvation?
Or an escape from discontent?
Will she find her name
In the California cement?
Punched out of the grind
That punched her one too many times...
Is tragedy 2000 miles away?
She's taking off

Tight Wad Hill

Cheapskate on the hill
A thrill seeker making deals
Sugar city urchin wasting time
Town of lunatics
Begging for another fix
Turning tricks for speedballs
One more night
Making your rounds once again
Turning up empty handed
Bumming a ride
Burning daylight
Last up at dawn... tight wad hill
Drugstore hooligan
Another white trash mannequin
On display to rot up on the hill
Living out a lie
But having the time of his life
Hating every minute of his existance

Walking Contradiction

Do as I say not as I do because
The shit so deep you can't run away
I beg to differ on the contrary
I agree with every word that you say
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive
My wallet's fat and so is my head
Hit and run and then I'll hit you again
I'm a smart ass but I'm playing dumb
Standards set and broken all the time
Control the chaos behind a gun
Call it as I see it even if
I was born deaf, blind and dumb
Losers winning big on the lottery
Rehab rejects still sniffing glue
Constant refutation with myself
I'm a vicitm of a catch 22
I have no belief
But I believe
I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't got no right

Burnout

I declare I don't care no more
I'm burning up and out and growing BORED
In my smoked out BORING room
My hair is shagging in my eyes
Dragging my feet to hit the street tonight
To drive along these shit town lights

I'm not growing up, I'm just burning out
And I stepped in line to walk amongst the DEAD

Apathy has rained on me
Now I'm feeling like a soggy dream
So close to drowning but I DON'T MIND
I've lived in this mental cave
Throw my emotions in the grave
HELL, who needs them anyway

I'm not growing up, I'm just burning out
And I stepped in line to walk amongst the DEAD (3x)

Having A Blast

I'm taking all you down with me
Explosive duct taped to my spine
Nothing's gonna change my mind

I won't listen to anyone's last words
There's nothind left for you to say
Soon you'll be dead anyway

Well no one here, is getting out alive
This time I've lost my mind and I don't care
So close your eyes
And kiss yourself goodbye
And think about the times you spent and what they've meant
To me it's nothing (several x)

I'm losing all my happiness
The happiness YOU pinned on my
Loneliness still comforts me
My anger DWELLS inside of me
I'm taking it all oujt on you and all the shit you put me through

So no one here, is getting out alive
This time I've lost my mind and I don't care
So close your eyes
And kiss yourself goodbye
And think about the times you spent and what they've meant
To me it's nothing (several x)

Do you ever think back to another time?
Did it bring you so down that you thought you lost your mind?
Do you ever want to lead a long trail of destruction and mow down
any BULLSHIT that confronts you?
Do you ever build up all the small things in your head
To make one problem that adds up to NOTHING

To me it's nothing (several x)

Chump

I don't know you
But, I think I HATE you
You're the reason for my misery
Strange how you've become my biggest enemy
And I've never even seen your face

Maybe it's just jealousy
Mixing up with a VIOLENT mind
A circumstance that doesn't make much SENSE
Or maybe I'm just DUMB

You're the cloud hangin out over my head
Hail comes crashing down welting my face
MAGIC MAN, EGOCENTRIC PLASTIC MAN
Yet you still got one over on me

Maybe it's just jealousy
Mixing up with a VIOLENT mind
A circumstance that doesn't make much SENSE
Or maybe I'm just DUMB

Longview

Sit around and watch the tube but, nothing's on
Change the channels for an hour or two
Widdle my thumbs just for a bit
I'm sick of all the same old shit
In a house with unlocked doors
And I'm fucking lazy

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going BLIND!!!
And I smell like shit

Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving
I sure as hell can't do it by myself
I'm feeling like a DOG IN HEAT
Barred indoors from the summer street
I locked the door to MY OWN CELL
And I lost the key

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going blind!!!
And I smell like shit

I GOT NO MOTIVATION
WHERE IS MY MOTIVATION
NO TIME FOR MOTIVATION
SMOKING MY INSPIRATION

Sit around and watch the phone but no one's calling
Call me pathetic call me WHAT YOU WILL
My mother says to get a job
But she don't like the one SHE's got
When masturbation's lost its fun
You're fucking breaking

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn BORED I'm going blind
And loneliness has to suffice
Bit my lip and close my eyes
Slipping away to paradise
Some say, "Quit or I'll go BLIND"
But it's just a myth

Welcome To Paradise

Dear mother,
Can you hear me whining?
It's been three whole weeks
Since I left your home
This sudden fear has left me trembling
Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone

Pay attention to the cracked streets
And broken homes
Some call it the slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise

A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go

Pay attention to the cracked streets
And broken homes
Some call it the slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise

Dear mother, can you hear me laughing
It's been six whole months since
I have left your home
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go

Pay attention to the cracked streets
And broken homes
Some call it the slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise

Pulling Teeth

I'm all busted up
Broken bones & nasty cuts
ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN
But this time I can't get up
She comes to check on me
MAKING sure I'm on my knees
After all she's the one who put me in this state
.
Is she ULTRA-VIOLENT?
Is she DISTURBED?
I better tell her that I LOVE her
Before she does it all over again
OH GOD, SHE'S KILLING ME!!!

For now I'll lie around
HELL, that's all I can really do
She takes good care of me
Just keep saying my LOVE is TRUE
.
Is she ULTRA-VIOLENT?
Is she DISTURBED?
I better tell her that I LOVE her
Before she does it all over again
OH GOD, SHE'S KILLING ME!!!

Looking out my window for
Someone that's passing by
No one knows I'm LOCKED in here
All I do is cry

For now I'll lie around
HELL, that's all I can really do
She takes good care of me
Just keep saying my LOVE is TRUE

Basket Case

Do you have the time to listen to me whine
About NOTHING and everything all at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it

Sometimes I give myself the CREEPS
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm CRACKING UP
Am I just PARANOID?
Am I just STONED

I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
SHE says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down
I went to a whore
HE said my life's a bore
So quit my whining cause it's bringing HER down

Sometimes I give myself the CREEPS
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm CRACKING UP
Am I just PARANOID?

Grasping to CONTROL
So I BETTER hold on

Sometimes I give myself the CREEPS
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm CRACKING UP
Am I just PARANOID?
Am I just STONED

She

She screams in silence
A sullen riot penetrating through her mind
Waiting for a sign to smash the silence with the brick
of self control

Are you locked up in a world that's been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?

Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you

She's figured out all her doubts
Were someone else's point of view
Waking up this time to smash the silence with the brick
of self control

Are you locked up in a world that's been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?

Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you (2 x)

Sassafras Roots

Roaming 'round your house
WASTING YOUR TIME
No obligation, just
WASTING YOUR TIME
So why are you alone?
WASTING YOUR TIME
When you could be with me
WASTING YOUR TIME

I'm a WASTE like you
With nothing else to do
May I WASTE your time too?

Warding off regrets
WASTING YOUR TIME
Smoking cigarettes
WASTING YOUR TIME
I'm just a PARASITE
WASTING YOUR TIME
APPLYING myself to
WASTING YOUR TIME

So why are you alone?
WASTING YOUR TIME
When you could be with me
WASTING YOUR TIME

I'm a WASTE like you
With nothing else to do

May I WASTE your time too?

When I Come Around

I heard you crying loud,
all the way across town
You've been searching for that someone,
and it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself
Don't get lonely now
Dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment
Sleazin' my back yard so don't get so uptight
you been thinking about ditching me

No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around

I heard it all before
So don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser
to try and slag me down because I know I'm right
So go do what you like
Make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your selfdoubt means nothing
was ever there

You can't go forcing something if it's just
not right

No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around (2 times)
When I come around (sev times)

Coming Clean

Seventeen and strung out on confusion
Trapped inside a roll of disillusion
I found out what it takes to be a man
Mom and Dad will never understand

Secrets collecting dust but never forget
SKELETONS come to LIFE in my closet

I found out what it takes to be a man
Mom and Dad will never understand
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME

Seventeen and COMING CLEAN for the first time
I finally figured out myself for the first time
I found out what it takes to be a man
Mom and Dad will never understand
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME

Emenius Sleepus

I saw my friend the other day and I don't know
Exactly just what he became
It goes to show
It wasn't long ago
I was just like you
And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home

How have I been, how have you been
It's been so long
What have you done with all your time
And what went wrong

I knew you back when
And you ... you knew me
And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home

Anybody ever say no?
Ever tell you that you weren't right?
Where did all the little kid go?
Did you lose it in a hateful fight?
And you know it's true

It wasn't long ago
I was just like you
And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home

In The End

All brawn and no brains
And all those nice things
You FINALLY got what you want
Someone to look good with
AND light your cigarette
Is this what you really want?

I figured out what you're all about
And I don't think I like what I see
SOOOOO ...
I HOPE I won't be there in the end
if you come around.

How long will he last
Before he's a CREEP in the past
And you're alone once again?
Will you pop up AGAIN and be my
"SPECIAL FRIEND" 'till the end?
And when will that be?

I figured out what you're all about
And I don't think I like what I see
SOOOOO ...
I HOPE I won't be there in the end
if you come around.

F.O.D.

Something's on my mind
It's been for quite some time
This time I'm on to you
So where's the other face?
The face I heard before
Your head trip's boring me

Let's nuke the bridge we torched
2,000 times before
This time we'll blast it all to hell
I've had this burning in my guts now
for so long
My belly's aching now to say

Stuck down in a rut of dislogic and smut
A side of you well hid
When it's all said and done
it's real and it's been fun
But was it all REAL fun

Let's nuke the bridge we torched
2,000 times before
This time we'll blast it all to hell
I've felt this burning in my guts now
for so long
My belly's aching now to say

You're just... a fuck,
I can't explain it 'cause I think you suck.
I'm taking pride
in telling you to fuck off and die.

I've felt this burning in my guts now
for so long
My belly's aching now to sing
I'm taking pleasure in the doubts that
may still grow
So listen up cause you might miss it

You're just... a fuck,
I can't explain it 'cause I think you suck.
I'm taking pride
in telling you to fuck off and die.

And die.

(long silence, hidden track)

I was alone, I was all by myself
Now I was lucky, I was thinking of you
Oh yeah, did I mention I was all by myself
All by myself (sev times)

I went to your house, but no one was there
I went to your room
I was all by myself
We had such wonderful times
When I'm all by myself, all by myself...

2000 Light Years Away

I sit alone in my bedroom
Staring at the walls
I've been up all damn night long
My pulse is speeding
My love is yearning

I hole my breath and close my eyes and dream about her
Cause she's 2000 light years away
She holds my malakite so tight so...
Never let go
Cause she's 2000 light years away

I sit outside and watch the sunrise
Lookout as far as I can
I can't see her, but in the distance
I hear some laughter,
We laugh together

One for the Razorbacks

Juliet's trying to find out what she wants, but she don't know
Experience has got her down
Look this direction, I know it's not perfection, it's just me...
I want to bring you up again now

I'm losing what's left of my dignity
A small price to pay to see that you're happy
Forget all the disappointments you have faced
Open up your worried world and let me in

Juliet's crying cause now she's realizing love can be
Filled with pain and distrust
I know I am crazy, and a bit lazy
But I will try to bring you up again now.

Welcome to Paradise

Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slums some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to Paradise

A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's still now feeling like my home
I'm never gonna go

Dear mother, can you hear me laughin'?
It's been six whole months since I have left your home
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's still now feeling like my home
I'm never gonna go

Dear mother, can you hear me whinin'?
It's been three whole weeks since I have left your home
This sudden fear has left me tremblin'
Cause now it seems I am out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone

Christie Road

Staring out of my window
Watching the cars go rolling by
My friends are gone
I've got nothing to do
So I sit here patiently
Watching the clock tick so slowly
Gotta get away
Or my brains will explode

Give me something to do to kill some time
Take me to that place that I call home
Take away the strains of being lonely
Take me to the tracks at Christie Road

See the hills from afar
Standing on my beat up car
The sun went down and the night fills the sky
Now I feel like me once again
As the train comes rolling in
Smoked my boredom gone
Slapped my brains up so high

Mother stay out of my way of that place we go
We'll always seem to find our way to Christie Road

If there's one thing that I need that makes me feel complete
So I go to Christie Road
It's home...

Private Ale

I wonder down these streets all by myself
Think of my future now
I just don't know
I don't seem to care
I stop to notice that
I'm by your home
I wonder if you're sitting all alone
Or is your boyfriend there

Because I feel so right
Let my imagination go
Until you're in my sight
And through my veins temptation flows

So I sit down here on the hard concrete
Think of my future now
I just don't know
I don't seem to care
So I sit across the street from your home
I wonder if you're sitting all alone
Or is your boyfriend there

Dominated Love Slave

I want to be your dominated love slave
I want to be the one that takes the pain
You can spank me when I do not behave
Mack me in the forehead with a chain

Cause I love feelin' dirty
And I love feelin' cheap
And I love it when you hurt me
So drive those staples deep

I want you to slap me and call me naughty
Put a beltsander against my skin
I want to feel pain all over my body
Can't wait to be punished for my sins.

One of My Lies

When I was younger I thought the world circled around me
But in time I realized I was wrong
My immortal thoughts turned into just dreams of a dead future
It was a tragic case of my reality

Do you think you're indestructable
And no one can touch you
Well I think you're disposeable
And it's time you knew the truth
Cause it's just one of my lies!

Why does my life have to be so small?
Yet death is forever
And does forever have a life to call its own?

Don't give me an answer cause you
Only know as much as I know
Unless you're been there once
Well I hardly think so

I used to pray all night
Before I lay myself down
My mother said it was right
Her mother said it too...
Why?

80

My mental stability reaches its bitter end
And all my senses are coming unglued
Is there any cure for this disease someone called love
Not as long as there are girls like you

Everything she does questions my mental health
It makes me lose control
I just can't trust myself

If someone can hear me slap some sense into me
But you turn your head and I end up talking to myself
Anxiety has got me strung out and frustrated
So I loose my head or I bang it up against the wall

Sometimes I wonder if I should be left alone
And lock myself up in a padded room
I'd sit and spew my guts out to the open air
No one wants to hear a drunken fool.

I do not mind if this goes on
Cause now it seems I'm too far gone
I must admit I enjoy myself
80 please keep taking me away.

Android

Hey old man in woman's shoes
I wonder if he knows I think he's crazy
When he was young did her have dreams
Of wearing woman's shoes and being crazy?

It makes me wonder when I grow to be that age
Will I be walking down the street begging for your spare change

Or will I grow that old?
Will I still be around?
The way I carry on I'll end up
Six feet underground
And waste away...

When the old man was in school
Did the golden rule make him go crazy
Or did he hide away from hopes
Behind a smile and smoking dope
It's crazy

It seems so frightening
Time passes by like lightning
Before you know it you're struck down
I always waste my time on my chemical emotions
It keeps my head spinning around.

No One Knows

Why should my fun have to end?
For me it's only the beginning
I see my friends begin to age
A short countdown to what end

Call me irresponsible
Call me habitual
But when you think of me
Do you fill your head with schemes
Better think again
Cause no one knows

I don't want to cause no harm
But sometimes my actions hurt
Is there something I should find
To make plans for forever

Does it seem like all your memories fade
You soak up knowledge to fill the space
And still my answer remains...
I don't know.

Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?

A thought burst in my head and I need to tell you
It's news that I for thought
Was it a dream that happened long ago?
I think that I just forgot
Well it hasn't been the first time
And it sure does drive me mad

There's a boy who fogs his world and now he's getting lazy
There's no motivation and frustration makes him crazy
He makes a plan to take a stand but always ends up sitting.
Someone help him up or he's gonna end up quitting

I shuffle through my mind
To see if I can find
The words I left behind
Was it just a dream that happened long ago?
Oh well...
Never mind.

Words I Might Have Ate

Now it seems I can't keep my mind of you
My brain drifts back to better days we've been through
Like sitting on blacktop of the school grounds
The love I bitched about I finally found

But now it's gone and I take the blame
So there's nothing I can do but take the pain
Why?

Now I dwell on what you remind me of
A sweet young girl who sacrificed her love
As for me... I am blind without a cause
And now I reazlied what I have lost

It was something real that I could have had
Now I play the fool whose stable soul's gone bad
Why?

Tell me the words I might have said
That's pumping pressure deep inside my head
Was it bad enough to be too late?
Just tell me the words I might have ate.

Sweet Children

(from SKENE! records No. 10, 7" EP)

See a young girl so soft and blonde.
Doesn't attack me but she did once.
Intoxications in her veins.
Sweet young boy plays with her brain.
Lydia'll bring to life.
What are your chance not to oblige.
Putting his hand on her thigh.
Ability has now been ripped.
Take it away, I'd rather sit.
Sweet children, sweet children, sweet children. Remember when.
Johnny's playing fun and games, or else he's ?in the storage shed?.
Running from the light of day, or maybe lie and celebrate.
The funny circus from his head.
Follow me if you understand.
I'll trick her so she'll do it.
Then I'll sing and now we run.
Sweet children, sweet children, sweet children. Remember when.
Sweet children, sweet children, sweet children. Remember when.
Best Thing in Town

(from SKENE! records No. 10, 7" EP)

Come with me and let's go for a ride
Follow me to the other side
As I sit around and watch you pout

Cause I know that you're the
Best thing in town -- Best thing around
Best thing in town -- Best thing around

Running wild and always running free
Doing things that I have never seen
Eerie colors and all I see are sounds

Now I know that you're the
Best thing in town -- Best thing around
Best thing in town -- Best thing around

(missing a verse here)

Come with me and let's go for a ride
Follow me to the other side
As I sit around and watch you pout

Cause I know that you're the
Best thing in town -- Best thing around
Best thing in town -- Best thing around

Running wild and always running free
Doing things that I have never seen
Eerie colors and all I see are sounds

Now I know that you're the
Best thing in town -- Best thing around
Best thing in town -- Best thing around

(missing Billie's mumblings)
Strangeland

(from SKENE! records No. 10, 7" EP)

Looking at the clouds in the sky
floating image in my mind
?
Now I wonder where this place is from

Evidence is everywhere
I start to run, now I'm scared
?
Strange beings all around.
Everyone come to this place I've found

I'm feeling phyced
walking?wonder why
All my joys are open
No more crimes

My eyes are clear and now I'm cured
I only wanna be for sure
?
?

Get in my mind and you will find
Mother love from all mankind
?

My Generation

(from SKENE! records No. 10, 7" EP)

Well, people try to put us down.
Talkin' bout my generation.
Just because we get around.
Talkin' bout my generation.
The things they do look awful cold.
Talkin' bout my generation.
I hope I die before I get old.
Talkin' bout my generation.

My generation.

Why don't you all just fade away?
Talkin' bout my generation.
And don't try to dig what we all say.
Talkin' bout my generation.
I'm not trying to cause a big sensation.
Talkin' bout my generation.
I'm just talkin' bout my generation.
Talkin' bout my generation.

My generation.

Break it, fuck that shit!

Why don't you all just fade away?
Talkin' bout my generation.
And don't try to dig what we all say.
Talkin' bout my generation.
I'm not trying to cause a big sensation.
Talkin' bout my generation.
I'm just talkin' bout my generation.
Talkin' bout my generation.

My generation.
Talkin' bout my generation.

This is my generation.
This is my generation, baby.

At The Library

Hey there lookin' at me..
Tell me what do you see...
But you quickly turn your head away...
Try to find the words I could use,
don't have the courage to come up to you.
My chance is looking a bit grey...

Starting across the room: are you leaving soon?
I just need a little time...

What is that drives me mad!?
Girls like you that I never had!
What is it about you that I adore?
What makes me go so insane
That makes me feel so much pain?
What is it about you that I adore?
Why did you have to leave so soon?
Why did you have to walk away?
Oh, well, it happened again..
She walked away with her boyfriend
Maybe we'll meet again someday...
someday...

Don't Leave Me

I'll go for miles 'till I find you
You say you want to leave me
But ya can't choose..

I've gone thru pain every day & night
I feel my mind is going insane
Something I can't fight

Don't leave me X 3

A blank expression covering your face
I'm looking for directions for out of this place
I start to wonder...
If you'll come back
I feel the rain storming:
After thunder I can't hold back
chorus

I Was There

Looking back upon my life
And the places that I've been
Pictures, faces girls that I've loved
I try to remember when
Faded memories on the wall
Some names I have forgotten
But each one is a memory I
Look back on so often.
I look into the past
I want to make it last
I was there
Looking back what I have done
There's lots more life to live
At times I feel overwhelmed
I question what I can give
But I don't let it get me down
Or cause me too much sorrow
There's no doubt about who I am
I always have tomorrow
Looking back upon my life
Faded memories upon the wall
Looking now at who I am
I don't let it get me down.

Disappearing Boy

Now you see me now you don't
Don't ask me where I'm at
'Cause I'm a million miles away
Treated like a forbidden heel
Don't say my thoughts are not for real
Or you won't see me again
Am I here or am I there
Or am I playing on the stairs
Am I in my room with my toys
I am the disappearing boy
When I walk in crowded rooms
I feel as if it is my doom
I know that I don't belong
In that room I see her
I see her & she's with him
I turn and then I'm gone
Don't call me up 'cause I'm not home
My whereabouts are now unknown
I vanished from all your joy
I'm the disappearing boy
I have my doubts
Of where I belong
It's something to think about

Green Day

A small cloud has fallen
The white mist hits the ground
My lungs comfort me with joy
Vegging on one detail
The rest just crowds around
My eyes itch of burning red
Picture sounds
Of moving insects so surreal
Lay around
Looks like I found something new
Laying in my bed
I think I'm in left field
I picture someone, I think it's you
You're standing so damn close
My body begins to swell
Why does 1 + 1 make 2

Going To Pasalacqua

Here we go again, infatuation
Touches me just when I
Thought that it would end
Oh but then again it seems
Much more than that but
I'm not sure exactly what you're thinking
I toss and turn all night
Thinking of your ways of effection
But to find that it's not different at all
I throw away my past mistakes
And contemplate my future
That's when I say...
What the Hey!?!
Would I last forever?
You and I together, hand and hand
We run away -far away-
I'm in for nasty weather
But I'll take whatever you can
Give that comes my way -far away-

16

Every night I dream the same dream
Of getting older all the time
I ask you now, what does this mean?
Are these problems just in my mind?
Things are easy when you are a child
But now these pressures have dropped on my head
The length I've gone are just long miles
Would they be shorter if I were dead
Every time I look in my past
I always wish I was there
I wish my youth would forever last
Why are these times so unfair
Look at my friends and see what they've done
Ask myself why they had to change
I like them better when they were young
Now all these times are rearranged
I look down and stand there and cry
Nothing ever will be the same
The sun is rising, now I ask why?
The clouds now fall and here comes the rain

Road To Acceptance

I always waste my time just wondering
What the next man thinks of me
I'll never do exactly what I want
And I'll sculpt my life for your acceptance
I feel forgotten
Feel like rotting
(Do you feel the same)
Adolescence
Just can't make sense
(It's calling my name)
I take a look around
And all the things I've found
I call it blind hatred
If you'd stop a while
And maybe if you'd smile
You would realize that
We're all the same
It's just like our brain
When it goes insane
We feel the same pain
All my life I've seem to have this heed
I think at times it even turns to greed
We all want to join some family
We'll even sacrifice a moral changing

Rest

Hey can you hear me?
I'm calling your name
Hello? or is this goodbye?
The gleam in your eyes
It troubles my brain
Will I see it again
So I can rest my head
Angel! Dancing away
As all of my thoughts are rearranged
Angel! turning away
To have changed
So I can rest my head

The Judge's Daughter

Princess in a school girl's dream
May I please speak with you
I'm having troubles with control
And it's all because of you
Today I kept on falling down
I thought it was the street
So I look down at my shoes
They were on the wrong feet
I find it hard to be myself
(Can you please exlain?)
I do not think that it's my health
(You're the one to blame)
You're the one I wish I had
And now my girlfriend is getting mad
(I cannot call this sane)
Today as I was walking down
You bumped into me
You said, "excuse me" and walked away
As I dropped to my knees
I prayed to the being in the sky
That my parents told me of
I asked about you but no reply
No clues about your love
My girlfriend left me on the phone
I'm pathetically left here alone
(I cannot call this sane)
Can we find a way
So that you can stay
I think I'm gonna Pop

Paper Lanterns

Now I rest my head from
Such an endless dreary time
A time of hopes + happiness
That had you on my mind
Those days are gone + now it seems
As if I'll get some rest
But now + then I'll see you again
And it put's my heart to test
So when are all my problems
Going to end?
I'm understanding now that
We are only friends
To this day I'm asking why
I still think about you
As the days go on I wonder
(Will this ever end?)
I find it hard to keep control
When you're with your boyfriend
I do not mind if all I am is
Just a friend to you
But all I want to know right now
Is if you think about me too...?
So when...(chorus)

Why Do You Want Him?

I saw you standing alone
with a sad look on your face
You call him on the phone
Looks like he left you without a trace
Tears falling out of your eyes
He's living in a disquise
You've been feeling bad for so long
You wonder if it's right or wrong
Why do you want Him?
Why do you want Him?
Now many days have gone by
And you still just sit there & cry
You're feeling bad for yourself
His memory will always dwell
You're so obsessed with his love
That's why push came to shove
(Chorus)

409 In Your Coffeemaker

I sit in the state of a daydream
With all of your words flying over my head
Even more time gets wasted
In a daze
It should seem obvious to you
Your screams and cries are never going to work
And all of your time gets wasted
In my daze
And I'm looking back now
At where I have gone wrong
And why I could not seem to get along
My interests are longing
To break from these chains
These chains that control
My future's aim...
I sit in the state of a daydream
With all of your words flying over my head
Even more time gets wasted
In a daze
Maybe I'm just too damn lazy
Or maybe I was just brainwashed to think that way
And all of your time gets wasted
In my daze
Knowledge

(used without permission! -this is from :ALTER, Finland, checked like 300 times)

I know that things are getting tougher
When you can't get the top off from
the bottom of the barrel..!
Wide open road of my future now
It's looking fucking narrow!
All I know is that I don't know nothin'.

We get told to decide.
Just like... as if.. I'm not going to change my mind.

All I know is that I don't know nothing.
Whatca gonna do with yourself boy..
better make up your mind!

Whatca gonna do with yourself boy,
You're running out of time.

This time I got it all figured out...
All I know is that I don't know nothing!
And that's fine...

1,000 Hours

Starlit night
-The moon shing bright, you are the one I heed
Up at your window
-I see a shadow...Silhouette of your grace
Here's this flower
I picked for all the hours
That you've spent with me:
The one I love,
That I've been dreaming of
Sailing across the sea...
Let my hands flow through your hair.
Moving closer -A kiss we'll share
Passionate love to be all night long
We'll never break, as one too strong
Npthing's more that what our love is for
As I kiss your cheek
Oh so softly...
Hands flowing down my back
1,000 hours, I'll never leave
Our romance
Is a love trance...
And now we'll never part
1,000 hours
Of such a love shower
We'll never stop, once we start

Dry Ice

Late last night I had a dream
And she was in it again
She and I were in the sky
Flying hand in hand
I woke up in a cold sweat
Wishing she was by my side
Praying that she'll dry fears
Left on my face I've cried
Oh I love her
Keep dreaming of her
Will I understand
If she wants to be my friend
I'll send a letter to that girl
Asking her to be my own
But my pen is writing wrong
So I'll say it in a song
Oh I love you more right now
More than I've ever loved before
Here's those words straight from these lips
I'll need you forever more

Only Of You

I wish I could tell you
But the words would come out wrong
Oh if you only knew
The way I felt for so long
I know that We're world's apart
But I just don't seem to care
These feelings in my heart
Only with you I want to share
The first time I caught a glimpse of you
Then all my thoughts were only of you
I hope that when time goes on
You will think the same about me
Many nights awake I lie
I only wish that you could see
I know that we're only friends
I hope this feeling never ends
If I could only hold you
It's the only thing I want to do.

The One I Want

Sitting in my room last night
Staring at the mirror
I couldn't find a reason why
I couldn't be near her
'Cause you are the one that started
To make me feel this way
And every night I'm thinking
About the words you say
Pictures going through my mind
When we're together
All these long and sleepless nights
Will I ever get better
Now you know how I feel
This love is forever
You make my life seem so unreal
Will I ever get better?...

I Want To Be Alone

I lock myself inside my room
I wanna be alone
With you around, you'll only add on
Just let me be alone with my thoughts
Please don't think I'm crazy
I don't want you to understand
My mind is growing hazy
To hell with your helping hand
Why don't you just leave me alone
This conflict is my own
Keep your sources away from me
