Step right up for the great pie fight
I do the jiggle with a funny face
A Charlie Chaplin messiah
I'll break into the safe
and light a bonfire
Well if I dotted to dot my feelin's
Now wouldn't that make you feel good
But I prefer my mystery to your bullshit anal world
I'm jumpin' out of my skin
Cuz thats the mood that I'm in
Stevie's got the atmosphere thats gonna bounce you outta the herd baby
Cuz theres only one way
And I don't want you to pay
Let the charming phosphorescent song light your miserable way
Savoir fare is everywhere
Gimme Slapstick
Apples, Peaches, I love Punkin' Pears
Gimme Slapstick
So stick your hands up little babies
Your in the cakewalk part of your life
Everything is uphill from here
But your starin' up at the big knife
They're gonna bore your ass to pieces
and stick the grip tape to your bones
You'll remember all the fun you had
But realize it was just a loan... Still
I'm jumping out of my skin
Cuz thats the mood that I'm in
Stevie's got the atmosphere I'm gonna bounce you outta the herd baby
And theres only one way
And I don't want you to pay
Let the charming phosphorescent song light your miserable way
Savoir fare is everywhere
Gimme Slapstick
Apples, Peaches, I love Punkin' Pears
Gimme Slapstick
I want to get it I wanna get it I wanna get it up
I wanna make you slap your knee... Understand me... Call out for tech
support...
Thumb your nose at the tortured times... come on baby... Huh
You'll realize that you lost something
When you lose this fantasy world
And the nine to five'n baby thought police
Get you marchin' on to the dirge
They're cobblin' up those Frankensteiny boots for you to wear
You will find it baby hard to move when they stiffin' up your big hair
I'm jumping out of my skin
Cuz thats the mood that I'm in
Stevie's got the atmosphere I'm gonna bounce you outta the herd baby
And theres only one way
And I don't want you to pay
Let the charming phosphorescent song light your miserable way
Savoir fare is everywhere
Gimme Slapstick
Apples, Peaches, I love Punkin' Pears
You struggle with words, I don't
But you can bet that when you struggle to control yourself, I'll make the choices you won't
Myself, I'm only having trouble taking the time to decide if what I'm about to say is right
A closed fist is a powerful thing -- (You'd hit the ground)
You'd run for cover if you knew what I mean -- (When I say)
A closed fist is a powerful thing -- (You'd hit the ground)
You'd run for cover if you knew what I mean
SO FUCK YOU
'Cause I can't stand it, and I won't tolerate
Another false line of the standard fucking shit you say
I can't believe it, that they would celebrate in the face of another empty line about pain
Your tombstone reads the lies that your body couldn't sell while you were alive
Your tombstone reads the lies that your body couldn't sell while you were alive
A closed fist is a powerful thing -- (You'd hit the ground)
You'd run for cover if you knew what I mean -- (When I say)
A closed fist is a powerful thing -- (You'd hit the ground)
You'd hit the ground
You'd hit the ground
You'd hit the ground
I remember sitting in the sandbox
And I realized it was how life's supposed to be
When I look back and see
So beautiful to me, so beautiful
Holding hands and painting pictures
Playgrounds and friends were the only necessities
When I look back and see
So beautiful to me,so beautiful
It's time to start being kids again
Where hopes are strong, where eyes are bright
To erase the prejudice, to no walls put up inside of life
I don't see why it's so hard to get along these days
It didn't seem that hard when we were kids
I wanna be a kid again, I want to play in the park
When I look back and see
Don't care about you and
I don't have a problem
I'll get along with out you
I'll get along just fine, just me
I turn my head and there she comes again
I don't need you
I keep on runnin but somehow she's still here
Do you still need me?
I don't need you
And everything I did
I did it without you
When I was younger and I looked at my mother,
I looked her in the eye and said
I'LL LIVE MY LIFE MY WAY
It gets so hard to maintain that attitude watchin yourself get oldereveryday
But THIS TIME ya we're gonna get it right NO MORE hangin round alone at night
This time ya we're gonna get it right
All the good times are gone
Where did they go?
Doesn't anybody know?
It's hard to believe when you're 18 yrs. old that your childhood is over
And IT'S TIME TO START GROWING UP
I'm not ready to get a fuckin job and face responsibility but I guess
I gotta face up
But THIS TIME ya we're gonna get it right NO MORE hangin round alone at night
This time ya we're gonna get it right
All the good times are gone
Where did they go?
Homeless guy i walk by every single day.
He seems so nice but people always turn away.
One day i stood with him and we talked for a while.he seemed so happy but he had sadness in his smile.
I shook his hand and he said "thank you very much. 'cause sometimes conversation's just as good as a donation."
I didn't understand until he looked at me and said"millions like me are freezing tonite, and no one cares if we live or die.
Change in my cup gives me a couple bucks to spend but I'd rather be treated like a person again."
As i stood with him a business man walked up. a winning smile and threw a wad of gum into his cup.
I was so angry that i ran and chased him down.
I tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around.
I shook my head and said "youre a fucking dick" he turned pale and asked me what the fuck i meant.
He'll never understand but still I pointed back and said
"millions like him are freezing tonight and no one cares if they live or die.
They don't know what it takes to make a man break down.
The don't know what it's like to survive without your friends and family around,
They tell you that you're lazy and won't get off your ass to find a job
So you deserve that shitty situation that you got.
You always told me to believe in myself but i believe in you, don't give up.
On the corner there's a bunch of people livin cause they haven't got a place to stay
The president can't see them no he doesn't give a fuck
And their anger grows and grows each day
Well I can see the government is putting on a show
I can see right through it, it's fuckin crooked to the bone
It's a time bomb
Somewhere in a factory there's a little guy working off his balls for the minimum wage
While the big guys sits around just standing in his office making money on his ass all day
Well I can see right through it, and it's crooked to the bone
It's a fuckin time bomb fuckin ready to explode
It's a time bomb
Unity's the answer and we gotta join together
Cause it's gettin harder every day
Start a revolution, tell those fuckers in power
To get the fuck out of our way
Well I can see right through it, and it's crooked to the bone
I can see right through it, it's fuckin crooked to the bone
It's a time bomb
Cary and me, best friends since we were fifteen
Discovered weed and girls and drivin cars together
Always wondered what the future would bring
And we promised we'd always be brothers forever
Now he's gone
It sucks to say goodbye to friends
He's gone
Will I ever see him again
It's time to leave and it came so quick it hurts
Went to his house bummed me a smoke for the last time
Then he ran off to Boulder Colorado I wave goodbye
And think of good times
Good times gone
It sucks to say good bye to friends
He's gone
You say I waste my time
Always fucking around
What else is there to do in this dumb midwestern town
No matter what I do you say I never do it right
Playin to win stayin up all night
All those with pride and excellence
Fuck you and your intelligence
Step aside
I'm lookin out for me and I won't be nice 'cause I don't wanna
Who spit in yer face
I think I'll win a race
And if we have to we'll put you in your fuckin place
We ain't wasting time gettin what we want
But you go outside the van
So I can sit in the front, yeah
You say that's crazy, can't you guys learn to share
But nothin really gets me down
Walked through the door I saw you there
I'd seen you once before
And I know it was you
I handed flyers out I'd run around
Jump around and shout
So you'd notice me too
Run away
Run away
This time it's just you and me
We talked a little while left that place
But left it with a smile
But now I'm feeling blue
You broke down the door to my heart
Waitin by the phone I tried to call you
But you're never home
I'm still thinking of you
I wanna see you now I don't know just exactly how
Are you missing me too
Run away
Run away
This time it's just you and me
It's something you do??? and I don't know what you do to me
Wish I'd do it for you
You broke down the door to my heart
Don't wanna hear no alternative music
It don't say anything
I don't like anything about you
1234 Fuck you Alternative radio
This shit's really getting to me
Q101 and fucking MTV
Everything just seems to sound the same yeah
Don't care about punk rock shows
Great spot about the Counting Crows
Everything it stands for is so fucking lame
Fuck you Alternative radio
Alternative D.J. isn't your friend when he's cashin in on the latest trend
Forty minutes to keep rock commercial free yeah
So much for the music industry
Money where the punks be
Someone's gotta stand up for the punk rock scene
Looked out with just a dollar fifty and I'm homeless for the day
I was lonely and cold so I walked down to the train station just to pass the time away
Wasted time, wasted day, wasted year
All I know is that I'm growing up so fast and it's scary as hell and I've got to get out of here
It looked so scary to me, it looked so scary to, it looked so scary to me
It looked so scary to me, it looked so scary to, it looked so scary to me
You know from a cold train platform I watched an old man make his way
Slowly across the snowy street below
My heart goes out to him and at the same time I'm afraid
Some day it's gonna be my old body walking through snow if I live to get old
It looked so scary to me, it looked so scary to, it looked so scary to me
It looked so scary to me, it looked so scary to, so fucking scary to me
Wasted time, wasted day, waste a day, waste away
Told me not to go outside when I wanted to
Told me not to stay out late when I wanted to
Told me not to do a lot of things, but I don't really care
Always did what I wanted to
Never did what I should do
Always did what I wanted to
Never one to listen to you
Told me not to be a man when I wanted to
Told me not to be a punk when I wanted to
Told me not to do a lot of things, but I did them anyway
Always did what I wanted to
Never did what I should do
Always did what I wanted to
Who knows just what she's thinkin'
Who knows what the fuck she's thinkin'
Who know's just what she's thinkin'
Who knows what the fuck she's thinkin'
It didn't take much in the grass when she gave my hand a soft touch
From then I never wanted to let her go
But I still see her everyday
She walks by but she won't even look my way
Does she love me? Does she even know? no.
She loves me, she loves me not, she loves me, she loves me not.
That bitch don't know what she got.
I left it alone for a while
Walked away everytime I saw her pretty smile
But that didn't help me forget about her. woah. no no no
And even if she runs away I know she'll be back again someday
It makes me feel better when I think that way
She don't know what she lost when she lost me.
Who knows what the fuck she's thinkin'
She loves me, she loves me not. She loves me, she loves me not.
Stanley started smoking cigarettes, now he smokes two packs a day
Got a girlfriend, she puts out, givin Stanley the bj
Got a job in a fitness store stealing shit for all his boys
Then he comes home and he's liftin weights and eatin anabolic steroids
Well Stanley thinks he's cool, but he's too dumb to see
He don't have any friends, he's just got a fake I.D.
Wake up, wake up Stanley
Stanley buyin all the brew for the parties, now he's a real party guy
He'd even buy a bottle for me or you if we'd hang out with him tonight
It's 3 AM and here comes Stanley, staggering drunk again
Stanley needs to realize that the beer makes all his friends
Well Stanley thinks he's cool, but he's too dumb tosee
He don't have any friends, he's just got a fake I.D.
I saw her thursday at the jawbreaker show
Since then i still think of you
Almost had the guts to ask your name
Now i guess i'll never know
I smoked a cigarette and looked your way
Wishing i could be more like him
Driving home on 294
I still can't get you out of my head
I still think about you...
La la la...
Stare at night at the walls of my room
Trying to remember your face
The way you danced and the way you smiled
All the things i could have said
Wishing i could know your name
Or at least know something about you
Fall asleep feeling sad and depressed
Guess i'm better off forgetting you
I still think about you...
La la la...
Still remember how you looked that night
Still remember how you smiled at me
Almost had the guts to ask your name
But now i guess i'll never know
I still think about you...
La la la...
Alone on the back of the bus
Don't know what time it was
Sleepin away my way across town
I got blown off by my friends
So I'll spend the night alone again
Then he came up to me and sat down
People tell him he's crazy
But he's no different than me
Cause his friends said he'd be all right
Now he's all alone on saturday night
He told me something about himself
He said he don't need no one else
And he was just cruisin the busses for fun
I told him about my stupid friends
He said "that's just the way it is
At least you're not the only one"
And he started me thinking
That I don't have it so bad
Cause it sucks to be alone
But at least there's a place where I can go home
He's drinking again
His spirits are falling
Like the rain that hits the bus
And he's lonely again
All his friends stopped calling
When you got nothing you got nothing at all
Cause he's got nothing at all
Hah!
Well no one likes Tommy but it's no use to treat him that way
You laugh at everything that he does, why do you gotta be so lame?
?? now it doesn't really matter if he's not even worth your time
Why do you got to laugh at him and push him down and tell him he's slime?
And he's not afraid, he's not afraid, not afraid
Not to be, not to be like you and me
Just a lonesome fellow with no friends to help spend his time
I really feel bad for Tommy everybody likes to make him cry
It doesn't matter anyway, some day you're gonna realize he's not a bad guy at all
What kind of person are you to make a guy who's already alone feel small?
And he's not afraid, he's not afraid, not afraid
Not to be, not to be like you and me
And that's not so bad, not so bad
If that's how he'd rather be, a geek could be
Cool like the geek that picked on me
Well can't you take the hint, man, I don't like you anymore
And he's not afraid, he's not afraid, not afraid
Not to be, not to be like you and me
And that's not so bad, not so bad
If that's how he'd rather be, a geek could be
Cool like the geek that picked on me
I had a dream that someday I could someday I would be the president
Now I know I'll never be a functional member of this so-called society
Well I know you call me "loser"
I don't mind, I love being a loser
But I keep on trying, yeah
But it's so hard to try when I don't care, I don't care
I'm sick of this place, I don't care
I've lost so much faith already, I don't care
Three words that I hate saying, I don't care
I'm just frustrated maybe
I had a dream that someday I could someday I would be a member of this society
Now I know I'll never be the things that they expect from me
It stands for weakened or for sick or wounded at all
Well I know you call me "loser"
I don't mind, I love being a loser
But I keep on trying, yeah
But it's so hard to try when I don't care, I don't care
I'm sick of this place, I don't care
I've lost so much faith already, I don't care
Three words that I hate saying, I don't care
Do you want to know what I learned at school today
Don't open your mouth
Don't open your mind
Don't open your heart to any girl who wants to come inside
Look out for yourself
Just don't be yourself
Won't you try to look and act like everyone else
No I didn't like school today
Do you wanna know what I learned at work today
How to be a racist
How to be a sexist
How to be unfair towards your fellow man and accept this
How to know right from wrong
And use your conscience
And still manage to get confused in the process
No I didn't like work today
I don't believe in anything no I don't believe in anything
I never knew exactly what to think every time i saw you
I know you think I'm a loser and I guess it's probably true
Well looking back now I think all I ever wanted
Was for you and me to be friends
I try not to think much about it
I try not to but sometimes I do
I remember back when I was younger
You were kinda like a brother to me
Never meant to fuck you over
Guess I did it unconciously
You said "don't try to please everybody all the time
You can never be everyone's friend"
I guess that's where I fucked up
Look what happened to me and you
Wish there was something I could do to let you know
Exactly how sorry I am
Would have never done those things if I had known
You'd never speak to me again
(repeat)
Sorry about everything that happened
I never meant to lie to you
I know you still think I'm a loser
And I don't blame you if you do
Lookin back now it's really not that big a deal
Water under the bridge and that's all
Still wanna see you again
I still wonder what happened to you
Wish there was something I could do to let you know
Exactly how sorry I am
Would have never done those things if I had known
You'd never speak to me again
(repeat)
Now there's nothing left to do to let you know
I'm sorry for all that I did
Should've been something that I already should have known
That girls should never come before friends
Wish there was something I could do to let you know
Exactly how sorry I am
Would have never done those things if I had known
I thought about it, I thought you were my friends
Now I'm thinkin that I'm never coming back again
I think about it, I think you're all the same
Gettin sick and tired of getting on in your games
Think about it, I think it's rude to play
Do the ditch and standing out away
I'm getting sick and tired, I'm getting sick and tired of you
Hup hup hup, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
Me and my friends, we're in it together
To the bitter end, whoa ho ho
I thought my friends were with me forever
My only friend is me
Why are you two hoodin around
What we need to do is get him off the ground
You're supposed to be his friends for life
So what would you think if I was fucking your wife
Think back all the times we had
Well I never heard it be so bad
I'm getting sick and tired, I'm getting sick and tired of you
Hup hup hup, pick it up, pick it up
Me and my friends, we're in it together to the bitter end, whoa ho ho
I thought my friends were with me forever
My only friend is me
Why do you push me down then pull me up again
You always fuck with me I thought you were my friend 1 2 3 4
I thought about it, I thought you were my friends
Now I'm thinkin that I'm never coming back again
Now my brothers I have to change
Hanging out without them is a little bit strange
What would it do if we say it again
But we can't be friends again
Hope I won't be in your plans
I'm not sorry to be rid of you
Hup hup hup hup, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
Me and my friends, we're in it together
To the bitter end, whoa ho ho
I thought my friends were with me forever
My only friend is me
Why do you push me down then pull me up again

Some days I don't feel like being grown-up
Some days I just feel like looking far away
Well I've never understood why the closer you come to make your own decisions and be self-sufficient
Well you've gotta conform to the will of the world
Well she left right before I turned eighteen
Well I just really started missing her now
I know a girl who spent her summer here on my street
Freedom was her name
Where did she go, where did she go
Now a new change tries to hold me in place
Maturity and responsibility
Where did she go, where did she go
Some days I don't feel like being inside
All day outside doesn't look too cold
She taught us how to play games and hold hands and be friends with each other
But we're not friends with each other anymore whoa
Well I guess this has got to be that way
Well I don't want any part of it at all
I know a girl who spent her summer here on my street
Freedom was her name
Where did she go, where did she go
Now a new change tries to hold me in place
Maturity and responsibility

Yeah you're punk enough, well yeah that's good enough for me
The firesides all the way across town
If i didn't beg then i know you'd never come down
Little girl, sittin' at home
I guess I'll stay here 'cause you know I'd rather hang around with you
Than practically anyone else
I fall into your arms and the show starts to fade away
None of those punk rock kids even know
Punk Rock Girl?
Don't have your nipples pierced
A Rancid raver's tee
Bright orange hair or cut off jeans
You're not as punk as the punk rock girls i've seen
But hey, your shit is punk enough
And yeah that's good enough for me
Went to Hoffman estates
You missed the show
I know you don't give a fuck about punk
So it means a lot that you even came out
To see bands that you couldnt give a shit about
Oh, he's gone now, we're only 2/3
We played this song way before it had any words
Earth angel, earth angel
Would you be mine, my darling dear, I've loved you all the time
I'm just a fool, a fool in love with you
