Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us as a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave

She left Ohio, bound for NYC
She broke her ties, she lost touch with me
That place wasn't big enough for a girl with her kind of dream
Thumbed across the East coast to a squat between A and C
Got a job as a stripper breathing fire on all the men
She liked the money, she liked the power she had over them
Get rid of everything she breathes fire
Get rid of society she breathes fire
Don't need anything she breathes fire
I started getting postcards, she was dancing in New Orleans
Or sparing change in FLA, every year it was a different scene
She conquered Texas, fell in love in Santa Fe
Maybe she'd finally found a place where she could finally stay
Get rid of society she breathes fire
Get rid of society she breathes fire
Don't need anything she breathes fire
Get rid of the family she breathes fire
Get rid of the memories she breathes fire
Don't need anything she breathes fire
She painted fires of the bridges that she burned
Tearing out the pages of the book that said to take her turn
Now she's right back where she started
At home with Mom and Dad
Watch it burn and blow away
What happened to the dream she had
She's back to everything she breathes fire
She's back in society she breathes fire
Given up on everything she breathes fire
She's back to the family she breathes fire
She's back in the memories she breathes fire
Giving up on anything she breathes fire
i heard you saying something i saw you doing nothing you sit upon your garbage your waiting on a bargain you pick a straightened ticket pick a familiar face bitching leads to changes changing all your faces i can't stand there and see if something happens stand right there stand right here see if something happens let me be let me be let me be alone all you say is let me be let me be alone the truth is your a liar and i've grown so tired of your passive manner of your constant chatter you know i'm also guilty my actions are so filthy but i'm not crying can't you see i'm trying i can't stand there your relation frightens i can't stand there your fixation tightens send help quick
Just can't seem to get up today
What was old and what was new
It's all the same today
The sun crept out the same as you
Exhale, exhale
Last breath smile
You changed my whole direction
The unexpected slap in the face
You were as happy as Prozac
My prescriptions been replaced
Exhale, exhale
Last breath smile
Ruin and renew
Ruin and renew
Cut and paste here
Cut and paste here
Politics of your relations
I can't stand in the fixation
Cut and paste here
Cut and paste here
Music's a happy daydream
Clouds race by like thoroughbreds
There's one thing I must remember
Polka polka in the eye
Polka in the eye
Beat your partner to the ground
Polka in the eye
Beat your partner up and down
Up and down and round
Eyebrow, eyebrow
Eyebrow in the eye
Hey!
Polka polka in the eye
Polka in the eye
Beat your partner to the ground
Polka in the eye
Order, order out of line
Out of line and time
Order, order, order out of line
Hey!
Polka getting faster
Land ho, me name is Joe
I drive a truck
Steam roll
Strong man, I got a plan
Sing it all day
From land to land
I swear I'm in fourth gear
My rollers down
Trail of smears
Asphalt aggregate
No more trees
Pavement
That's odd, I feel like God
My wrath of stone
Struck my cud
Cars, trees
Pave the seas
Everyone on your knees
Pave, pave, pave the world
"-Oooh; Joe! What have you done
Your steam roll has spoiled our fun
Asphyxiation, we're turning blue
Oooh Joe, what you gonna do
Suck my
Muffler pipe
Pave the world
Out of sight
Eat shit
Soil my shorts
Pave the world
Snort, snort!
The functional member of society
Fixes dysfunctions
Fixed my car
Fixed my art
Fixed the price
Fixed my vice
Made me a functional member of society
Make me function, so functional
The functional member of sobriety
Fixed me a drink
A shot of methadone
So I won't think
A low tar cigarette
To cut down the threat
Of making me
A functional member of sobriety
Mr. Function, what's your gumption
Spreading the word of conditioned corruption
Mr. Function, a revolution is beginning to form
At the D.C. junction
The functional member of hilarity
Is on the TV
Now I can sit at home
And be told how to be
How to wear my coat
How to righteously vote
Ain't gonna be a functional member
Of hilarity
Nobody gonna pull me down
Nobody gonna push me around

Mama getting high on Chardonnay
Mama getting high on Chardonnay
Sleeps all night and she drinks all day
Mama getting high on Chardonnay
Mama send the kids off to school.
Mama send the husband too.
Pack their bags.
Pack their bags.
Mama got a plan that the day won't drag.
Dreams of the days of the beauty cup.
Pop the cork with a sunny side up.
Count my nerves.
Count my nerves away, away with the Chardonnay!
(CHORUS)
Feeling better.
Spirits slip down.
Supervise the manicured lawn.
Sip a little here.
Sip a little there.
Wave to the neighbor with the lawn chair stare.
The day scoots by with the TV on.
The radio stuck on one-o-one.
Danielle cashes on her son.
It's all she needs to have her fun!
(CHORUS 2x)
The day is bright as freedom's light.
Let's all toast to the housewives' plight.
Suburban wives.
Suburban wives.
Escapees to the perfect life.

Listen up, listen in
Now you know it's easy to begin
Drink a beer, smoke a joint
Do a line, enjoy it every time
I don't think, think you like
Think you know you like it anyway
Now you know, where I've been
By the stink that's coming off my skin
(CHORUS)
Trapped inside it
In too far kid
See around it
Fire around you
Lay your cards on the table
And you do all you body's able
And your body burns in the fire
Ask yourself why you are so tired
Listen up, listen in
This is an intervention
Friends are here, family near
Overcome all of your fear
Take a chance, sober up
Laughter's fine with a strong spine
Is it clear, start the tear
The pages of life seem unclear
(CHORUS)
Can you deal with all your addictions?
Do your friends know all your afflictions?
Listen up, listen in
Now you know it's easy to begin
Drink a beer, smoke a joint
Do a line, enjoy it every time
I don't think, think you like
Think you know you like it anyway
Now you know, where I've been
By the stink that's coming off my skin
Pay the rent
Working, working, he's working so hard
Pushing, pushing, he's pushing his car
A wife, a house, and a dog and two kids
The IRS squeeze out the piss
Status, status, status apparatus
The government takes then they ask us
If the kids go hungry and start to cry
If the kids go hungry you tell 'em
It will all, it will all, it will all work out
All it will all it will all work out
Hungry, hungry, hungry and tired
Boss says to work or you'll get fired
Work, work, work your ethic
Take it home, it's mathematic
Working, working, working so hard
Pushing, pushing, pushing his car
Wife goes hungry, starts to cry
If the wife goes hungry you tell her
It will all, it will all, it will all work out
All it will all it will all work out
Everybody's got to be
Got to be a somebody
Everbody's got to be
Got to be a someone
It will all, it will all, it will all work out
Got to get got to get energy
Now get your energy
Got to find got to find a frequency
Now find yours
And if I have to have to slow down
Slowly push my weight around
And if I have to dig my tracks
Into the ground
Got to get got to get energy
Now get your energy
Got to find got to find an urgency
Yeah, find yours
And if I have to have to slow down
Slowly push my weight around
And if I have to dig my tracks
Into the ground
I see you stand frightened
You're like your dog
Frightened
Your stomach pulls
Tightens
I think you're mine
Move like machine momentum
Feeling curious, I started planning,
Just 'till I solve the local laws.
Pushing buttons, wearing dirty gym shoes,
Fingerprints line the hallway walls. (Walls.)

When a cow is lying down
You know it's gonna rain
And if it's gonna rain
It's gonna rain all goddamn day
Gonna rain on your parade
Rain on your parade
And everything you made
Don't doubt the cow
You know it'll make you mad
Don't doubt the cow
You know it'll make you sad
Don't doubt the cow
It'll make you blue
And if it makes you blue
You'll have to get yourself a clue
Amelia and I were getting nasty
Cow was facing north
And now her belly's rising up
Must have been a curse
I'll never forget that old wise tale
I was told by rail
That if you doubt the cow
You will surely fail

I'm feeling creepy
Creepy tonight
Crawling out of my skin
Mom's in the bedroom
Dad's in there, too
Slip into my shoes
Open the window
Step on the night
Under city lights
Creep in the shadows
Creep on the night
Until the morning light
When the sun goes down
And the moon comes up
Shadows hit the ground
City sings its song
I creep through alleys
I creep down street
The creep's on the beat
Slip through the fences
Test out the locks
Creep around the block
Usual faces, usual places
Are in disguise
But some shine brighter
In the afterlight
When the sun goes down
And the moon comes up
Shadows hit the ground
Roe v. Wade let's pray
They won't sway our way
Sister locked up boxed up knocked up
She's got no aid and no pay
Got no clay to form the day
There's no father to support her
Nothing's offered, ever offered
We make mistakes
Our pain pushes along
Through another day
Stuck in a life that she can't keep up
There's no pay no way
To push another life through the very same day
There's no father to support her
Nothing's offered, ever offered
Big man gonna rip my face off
Big plan while he rips my name off
Big man gonna rip his face off
Big plan while he beats his head off
There's no father to support her
Nothing's offered, ever offered
Got no choice
Coat hanger
Got no voice
She ain't got no fuckin' choice
She ain't got no god damn choice
Coat, coat hanger
Ain't go no choice

It was a dark day in September
Dark clouds filled the sky
And all that I remember
Was the neighbors asking why?
The blacks stepped off the Central
The whites all stood and stared
The schoolyard lay in silence
The sounds of being scared
(CHORUS)
We're all the same on the inside
We're all the same in the end
We're all the same on the inside
On the inside we're all the same
We stood in opposition
Will never understand
The deeply rooted feelings
We discovered now and again
The screams don't mean they're playing
They're scrapping in the halls
And we're not getting nowhere
When there is no trust at all
(CHORUS)
The neighbors say the neighborhood is losing
That the neighbors-they are moving
And it's all down hill from here
Yes, it's all down hill from here
We're all the same in our sadness
We're all the same in our pain
We're all the same under pressure
On the inside, we're all the same
We're all the same in Chicago
We're all the same in LA
We're all the same in Phoenix
On the inside we're all the sameâ¦
Yeah we're all, we're all, we're all the same
You want to go a walking but you don't have any shoes now
Take my advice, yah, leave 'em behind
You want to go a swimming but you ain't got no suit now
Take my advice, yah, swim in your mind
You want to go a riding but you ain't got no suit now
Take my advice, stand up for your rights
You want to find fulfillment in a three dollar hit now
That might be funny but it just ain't it
Animal, vegetable, mineral
We are all of the latter, all of the latter
Take us just for who we are
But if you don't
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
Yah, you want to be a skinhead but you got too much hair
Yah, take my advice, you'll just go square
You want to be a driver but you ain't got no clothes now
Take my advice, you'll just grow old
You wind up on your soul by looking to the sky
Take my advice, you'll find it inside
You want to find fulfillment in a three dollar hit
That can be really funny but it just ain't it
Animal, vegetable, mineral
We are all of the latter
Take us just for who we are
But if you don't
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
You want to go a walking but you don't have any shoes now
Take my advice, leave 'em behind
You want to go a swimming but you ain't got no suit now
Take my advice, swim in your mind
You want to go a riding but you ain't got no suit now
Take my advice, stand for your rights
You want to find fulfillment in a three dollar hit
Well that might be funny but fucks that shit
Animal, vegetable, mineral
We are all of the latter
Take us just for who we are
But if you don't
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter

Slip away, lay down,
Slip away.
Slip away, lay down,
Slip away, hey, down.
Deliver me from one, two, three, four,
Deliver me from formula.
Deliver me from raped existence,
Dismissing all the sounds I love.
Slip away, lay down,
Slip away.
Slip away, lay down,
Slip away, hey, down.
Slipping slipper, down.
Hup, hup, hup, hup.
Hup, hup, hup, hup.
Deliver me from seven inches,
That pay the dues of prefab bitches.
Deliver me from indie cred,
Deliver me 'cause punk rock's dead.
Slip away, lay down,
Slip away.
Slip away, lay down,

You just sit around, sit around criticizing
Sit around analyzing, categorizing
Magnifying, magnifying all our blank expressions
Blank expressions gonna take you nowhere
You're not a failure, you're not a failure
You're not failing
Failure, failure, failure, failure
Failure, failure, failure
Don't even try get nowhere, you can't succeed
Don't even try get nowhere
Don't even try get nowhere, you can't compete
Don't even try get nowhere
You just sit around, sit around criticizing

Magnifying, magnifying all our blank expressions
Blank expressions gonna take you nowhere

Don't even try get nowhere
Don't even try get nowhere, you can't succeed
Don't even try get nowhere
Don't even try get nowhere, you can't compete
Don't even try get nowhere
You just sit on your fat ass complain
