Anita is a high-school girl who frequently allows random boys and men to have sex with her, and is frequently raped by her absentee mother's boyfriend.

After buying herself a firearm, Anita convinces her mother's boyfriend to teach her how to use it, and, after he rapes her again, shoots him to death and hides the body. She then sets about getting her new "boyfriend" out of jail and to her, where she slowly drags him with her on her downward spiral of sex, violence, and murder for the sake of murder.

I haven't cried since my father died
He took a piece of me when he flew away
You all think you know who I am
But did you know I killed a man back in '94?
I know you're with me tonight
I know you're with me tonight
I had a chance to spend my last days with him
But I chose to turn away, blinded by reality
I saw him in one of my dreams
He was the captain of a ship sailing towards the light
I know you're with me tonight
I know you're with me tonight

becuase of the scar that ran down her
right cheek
she never grew up
because she turned 29 at age 15
nobody puts you up nobody puts you down

the planets talking to the mental patients
curled up in thir rooms
who do you want to be?
when it's dark and (indide)
no one's around (watch out)
what do you feel
when no one's around
but someone's watching over you
can ou feel your boy wther away
when you sit on your all ass day
look at yourself
you've become the less evolved
just like everyone else
Are you afraid of me?
Well are you afraid of me?
What are you trying to do to me, to do to me?
What are you trying to prove to me, to prove to me?
There's something you're not saying
but your actions say enough
And I don't know what's really going on
I leave a message every night
but you don't call me
The only times we ever talk you're in a hurry
I know my reputation
doesn't help you sleep at night
But lately baby I feel I don't know you
I thought we were the same
But now you play this game
You're young no fun
I know you think about us
I never thought about you
You put your name with my name
I can't remember your name
My love is too good for you
I wish you'd go and give back what You've taken
And take back what you said
Well, I owe you nothin' more
I've spent millions
I know what you want
It's right here in my pocket
You can't touch it
'Cause you're bad with fragile things
I know this cause you broke my heart in two
Can't you find someone like me
At all those parties you love?
You come home wasted tonight
I can't sleep when you're locked out
Oh, yeah
I'm no one with the problem
I'd wish you'd go and give back what You've taken
And take back what you said
Well, I owe you nothin' more

It's right here in my pocket
You can't touch it
'Cause you're bad with fragile things

I wish I never dropped my wallet
With my last paycheck
You saw it
What didn't you wear that evening?
How could you look in that outfit?
Well, I don't want you when you want me
And I don't need you like I need dough
See those flowers? They were on sale
And all that foreplay, it was for me
I never loved you
When you loved me
I never cared about you
When you cared about me
Hey, pretty lady, not you, behind you
Where'd you get that amazing booty
Oh, tae-bo works, see, tae-bo works
Thanks for the info, here's my number

I've got the floor, I've got the floor

I've forgotten what it feels like to feel normal
To be normal
I've forgptten what food tastes like
The way it tastes right
The taste buds taste right
I wake up in so much spit and sweat, it is not normal
What is normal?
I go to bed
When I wake up
After cleaning all
All the spit and sweat
I'm sha sha shakin, sha shakin'
I'm sha sha shakin, I'm shakin' now
I tossed and turned all night
'cause I was looking for an ending
This was so because I watched all day
The neverending story with atrayu
The next day came but not a beam of light
Because the blinds were shut
Sha sha sha shut so tight
I fell out of bed laced with spit and sweat
It made me very cold
It made me
Sha sha shakin', sha shakin'
I'm sah sha shakin', I'm shakin' now
I'm supposed to feel better
And I'm supposed to stop shakin'
I am holdin' on
I am holdin' on
I am holdin' on
I am holdin' on
I'm sha sha shakin', sha shakin'
She doesn't have the answer yet
The answer yet
I'm breathing down her neck
Maybe i should give her time
If it were up to me
She would know that
She'll be the one
When i'm dead will use my bed
And she'll spend her life
Thinking of us and making a fuss
If it were up to me
She would know that
Our love (our love)
Is the best love (best love)
If it were up to me
Yes, our love (our love)
Is real love
So just let it be
I want you to know
I've done our charts and it says
That we work as one
Like the jackson 5 and the temptations
If it were up to me
She would know that
Our love (our love)
Is the best love (best love)
If it were up to me
Yes, our love (our love)
Is real love
So just let it be
Well, your mother likes my smile
And your father likes my lifestyle

Oh it's easy (easy)
Your mother likes my smile

I'm losing you
I'm losing all control
Just let me be
Let me be alone for now
I want to be alone tonight
Once again we've gone off track
And lost all hope for coming back
It's time to restart again
And try all over again
It's time to work
The work is useless now
Can't you see
Your help is lost to me
I know I can be cruel
I say a lot of things I don't mean
And I'm not always in the mood
To give you what you need
But I come close you gotta
Love me love me love me or leave me
I know I act confused
I'm perfect just like you
Do what you want
But there's no one in this world
Who would die for you
There's only me
You won't ever find
Anyone around as good as me
There's only one choice
but nobody sees you
you're out on the edge
but you're not in danger
because you're only two feet
above the ground
you're out on a mission
for recognition
you're out on a mission
a show to sell out
but you've already sold out
you fucking sellouts
no one, no one cares
how close you were to the end
no one, no one sees
the changes you've made for yourselves
you need to break
apart from your egos
you need a break
to find a new image
'cause you're not rock stars
but you should be
you're out on a mission
for recognition
you're out on a mission
to quote yourselves
i've figured you out
you're so complex
oh yes, oh yes, they're coming on strong
and maybe by monday
their songs will live on
but the meltdown
the meltdown
the meltdown...
I can't feel my shins or my toes
I can't feel my knees or my soles
I don't know why, maybe you do
I don't know why
Oh oh oh oh, you got me paralyzed
Oh oh oh oh, you got me paralyzed
I can't feel my thighs or my hips
I can't feel my gut or coccyx
I don't know yet, I'm not for sure
I don't know why
Come on, baby!
Oh oh oh oh, you got me paralyzed
Oh oh oh oh, you got me paralyzed
Oh you got me paralyzed
All I can feel is my heart
And it's wasting its time
Beating for nothing
'Cause I'm already gone
And you got me paralyzed
Yeah
I can't feel my
I would but I can't feel my
Oh oh oh oh, you got me paralyzed
Oh oh oh oh, you got me paralyzed
Oh you got me paralyzed
Paralyzed
(You got me)
Paralyzed

Paralyzed
Hey baby
You've hit me again one more time
You said bye bye bye bye bye bye good-bye
Well i don't want to be with you tonight, forever
Do you understand my monologue?
These are the words of the popstars
These are the words of the upsophisticated money-machines
For the killers of rock and roll
Hey digital
You're nothing but a bitch on strings
You'll be back milking cows before you cash the check
Well i'll just wait around till you fade away like the rest
Like the best of the best
Do you understand my monologue?
Do you understand my monologue?
Said these are the words of the popstars
These are the words of the..
These are the words of the popstars
These are the words of the unsophisticated money-machines
Can you guess
Why I haven't called you back
I said I'm screening calls
Even your calls
Why am I
Such a bad guy
I'm just doing other things
Like you do other things
I could never really love you
Simply because, simply because
I could never really love you
Simply because of the trust
Of the trust
You're up all night
Fixing your hair
But you're not satisfied
With that I'm satisfied
I'm doing things
Like I said before
I'm not partying
I'm parting from the non-creative
Yeah
I could never really love you
Simply because, simply because
I could never really love you
Simply because of the trust
Of the trust
You've lost my love
Ooh yeah
I could never really love you
Simply because, simply because
I could never really love you
Simply because, simply because
I could never really love you
Simply because, simply because
I could never really love you
Simply because of the trust
Of the trust
You've lost my love
it's the first time
in a long time
that i've drifted away from you
its the firt time
in a long time
that i've seen someone new
it's not what it once was
it's not what it used to be
i'm not who i once was
i'm not who i used to be
can you hear me
do you hear what i say
i've been waiting all day
do you hear me
can you hear what i say
i've left
without you
You're out with your friends
And it's feelin' like old times
Standin' in line in the front of the club
You're drivin' around town
Blasting your mixes
Singin' along to the words you don't know
But it makes no difference
What I do, think, or say
There's no way to convince you, girls
That just ain't how you play
You set me up with your girlfriends
But none of them worked out for me
I'm startin' to realize lately
I should've been after you
I should've been after you
I can tell by your shakin' hands that you want me
So baby don't hold back, go with the flow
I know it looks bad 'cause I kissed all your girlfriends
But that's what you get when you live in a small world
It's hard to look at me
When you know where my lips have been
Forgetting makes things easier
Forgive me and let me in
You set me up with your girlfriends
But none of them worked out for me
I'm startin' to realize lately
I should've been after you
I should've been after you
You're gonna have to choose
Is it me or them?
That's the way it goes
Leave it all behind
All the baggage and dreams
I liked you from the start
I'll admit it now
Girl, I gotta have you
We don't have to tell anyone about our
Little secret
I know you feel it too
'Cause you're the only one who understands
You're wastin' all your time with someone else
You need another man
I could've been after you
But it makes no difference
What I do, think, or say
There's no way to convince you, girls
That just ain't how you play
You set me up with your girlfriends
But none of them worked out for me
I'm startin' to realize lately
I should've been after you
But after last night we're through
Run along with your new boy
Don't be a sex toy
I'm a terrible person
I'm a terrible person
I'm a terrible person
Cause I've made up my mind
I'm a terrible person
Cause I've led her on
And I'm the only one who knows what I've done to her
Oh yeah
I'm much smarter now
I won't tell her friends before her
Oh, I'm afraid
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
I'm a horrible person
I read her diary
I'm not to be trusted
I told all of her secrets
to all the guys in town
They all laugh and slap me five
Oh yeah!
Luckily she doesn't have dirt on me
Cause I'm the cleanest guy
Oh, I'm so afraid
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
Well, I don't think I'll ever be sorry
No I'm not sorry for a thing I've done
And I don't think I'll ever wake up lonely
Cause having her around wasn't all that special
I don't think I'll ever be sorry
No I'm not sorry for a thing I've done
And I don't think I'll ever wake up lonely
Cause having her around wasn't all that special
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
You're out on the edge
But nobody sees you
Your out on the edge
But not in danger
Cause your only 2 feet above the ground
Your out on a mission, for recognition
Your out on a mission, for a show to sellout
But you've already sold out
Yes, you fucking sellouts
No one, no one cares
How close you were you the edge
No one, no one sees the dangers to yourself
yayaya
You need a break apart from the eagles
You need a break, to find a new image
'cause your not rock stars, but you should be
Your out on a mission, for recognition
Your out on a mission, for a show to sellout
I figured you out
So convex
No one, no one cares
How close you were you the edge
No one, No one sees the dangers for yourself
Ya, o yes, o yes, they're coming on strong
Maybe by Monday the songs will move on
But, youll meltdown, youll meltdown, youll meltdown, youll meltdown, youll meltdown!!!
No one, no one cares
How close you were you the edge
No one, No one sees the changes in yourself
Yayaya yayaya yaya yaya
I'm so afraid to leave the house
I want it all, but don't know where to start
Well, I'm no good, yeah, I'm no good
So I'm giving up, I'm giving up
[Chorus]
Don't look at me, I'm a tragedy
Don't look at me, don't want your sympathy
Don't look at me, I can read your face
Don't look at me 'cause I'm a disgrace
I need a job (I need a job)
I never work (I never work)
I sit around (I sit around)
I feel like such a jerk (Like such a jerk)
Well, I'm getting old, I'm getting old
So I'm giving up, I'm giving up
[Chorus]
How can I change when you don't know my name?
How can I live when I've got nothing to give?
If I disappeared, would you even care?
If I take your advice, I'm just a sacrifice
Oh, you see...
I'm a'changing every day, changing every single way
I can't stop this train I'm on when it's still in motion
I don't want to fail you now, but it's a'coming somehow
Look at me here on my knees, begging you please
[Chorus 1]
If I were you, I'd be hurting, too
'Cause it's all or nothing, all or nothing now
What happened to the golden days?
Was it just another teenage craze?
It's so hard to let it go when it's all you know
I don't want to compromise the way I feel behind my eyes
Listen to the conversation, give it time
[Chorus 2]
If I were you, I'd be hurting, too
'Cause it's all or nothing, all or nothing now
If you were me, I know you'd see
That it's all or nothing, all or nothing now
Come on, do you think I just want to use you?
Don't think I can't see through all the hurting you do
[Chorus 2]
I know what you're after
I know why you came here
You got the devil in you seeping out your pores
You can't bring me down low
You can't pull me under
I've been there, honey
I am going back alive
[Chorus]
Not in my house, not under my roof
Not in my house, anywhere
Not in my house, not in my house
This land is my land, this land ain't your land
You had it all wrong, start singing a new song
Go run home to momma, tell her she done raised a loser
But you better not tell your father, he might not ever recover
[Chorus]
Get out, get out of my house
Get out, get out of my house
You spent your whole life trying, but you're going home empty handed
You can always grab onto something, but it's just a lonely night
You know where to find me, sitting on top of all my glory
I'll be sure to leave a space for you at the end of my story
[Chorus]
Get out, get, get out
I've forgotten what it feels like to feel normal
To be normal
And I've forgotten what food tastes like
The way it tastes right
The taste buds taste right
Well I wake up in so much spit and sweat
It is not normal
What is normal
I go to bed
When I wake up
After cleaning all
All the spit and sweat
Now I'm now I'm sh sh shakin' sh shakin' I'm
Sh sh shakin' sh shakin' now
I tossed and turned all night
Cause I, cause I was looking for, for an ending
This was so because, because I watched all day
The "Neverending story" with Atreyu
The next day came but not a beam of light
Because the blinds were shut
sh sh sh shut so tight
I fell out of bed laced in spit and sweat
It made me very cold
Now I'm now I'm sh sh shakin' sh shakin'
I'm sh sh shakin' sh shakin' now
I'm supposed to feel better
This nightmare supposed to end
I am holding on
I'm shakin' now
I'm a terrible person
Cause I've made up my mind
I'm a terrible person
Cause I've led her on
And I'm the only one who knows
What I've done to her
I'm much smarter now
I won't tell her friends before her
Oh I'm afraid
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
I'm a horrible person
I read her diary
I'm not to be trusted
I told all of her secrets
To all the guys in town
They all laughed and slapped me five
Luckily she doesn't have dirt on me
Cause I'm the cleanest guy
Oh I'm so afraid
It's gonna be a bad day come Sunday
I don't think I'll ever been sorry
No I'm not sorry for a thing I've done
And I don't think I'll ever wake up lonely
Cause having her around
Wasn't all that special
[Chorus]
It's gonna take the world to change
It's time to start helping each other
There's nobody left to take the blame
We're all gonna have to take it together
Stars and stripes beyond the sky
They're painting their patriotic lie
Who said you were wrong to choose what you face to lose?
We can do better
[Chorus]
Don't be afraid, there's nothing to fear
There's only so little time, my dear
What have we gained at the end of the day?
Just a bill that we can't pay
So what's the point in running?
Everyone's got something they don't want
So tell me what have you done with all that freedom you sit on?
Well, I don't want you when you want me
And I don't need you like I need dough
See those flowers? They were on sale
And all that foreplay, it was for me
I never loved you
When you loved me
I never cared about you
When you cared about me
Hey, pretty lady, not you, behind you
Where'd you get that amazing booty
Oh, tae-bo works, see, tae-bo works
Thanks for the info, here's my number
I never loved you
When you loved me
I never cared about you
When you cared about me
I've got the F L double O R
The F L double O R, ah, R
The F L double O R
I've got the floor
I don't want you when you want me
And I don't need you like you need me
I don't want you when you want me
And I don't need you like you need me
I never loved you
When you loved me
I never cared about you
When you cared about me
I never loved you
I never cared about you
I don't need this care
I'd rather sit it out, yeah
I've got the F L double O R
Yeah, the F L double O R, ah, R
I think it's your request so far
I've got the floor, I've got the floor
You come around, come around sometimes
You don’t say it, but something’s on your mind
It’s an ugly, disgusting business
Working hard, paying for your mistress
Look at you looking like a big shot
Buying time is all you ever got
Who do you, tell me who do you think I am
Tell me now, tell me it’s over
Who do you, tell me who do you think you are
You’re talking like you’re my Father
Why should I try
When it’s all a lie
Everyone’s got an alibi
What do you want
What do you need
Everyone’s trying to suckceed
What happened to the promises you made
You didn’t keep em’, you’re a jack of all trades
You’re spread thin and someone’s gotta suffer
I can take it, I’ve been getting tougher
You wanna be, wanna be my best friend
Well it depends on what you make and what you spend
You can’t change me, can’t tell me what I am
You’re not a pimp and I’m not your little man
Send me off, I’d rather you send me away
I don’t know you cause you don’t hear a word I say
Why should I try
When it’s all a lie
Everyone’s got an alibi
What do you want
What do you need
Everyone’s trying to suckceed
You come around here tell me it’s the end
I thought we were brothers, thought you were my friend
You’re just like the others, fickle and fake
If you bring enough for them you can have your cake
Why should I try
When it’s all a lie
Everyone’s got an alibi
What do you want
What do you need
I can never win with you
I try but you don't let me through
What's the point in fighting when we're down?
I know I've been acting strange
But wait don't leave I know I'll change
We're wasting all our time together now
I don't know what to say
Every word just makes you turn away
And I don't know what to do
Every day I want to be with you
Well I've lost the battle and I'm losing the war
And I keep on asking myself what for
If you believe in fate and destiny
Then open your eyes and believe in me
I call up and apologize
But you just think its one big lie
Don't you know you're pushing me away?
We've been through so much together
You can't tell me the past will never
Mean a thing it's more than a memory
Cause everyone I see around
Tells me that I'm such a fool
For making you my punching bag
When things really weren't that bad
I've lost you now
I've lost you now
But I don't know how to get you back
I'm not myself
I'm not myself
I could feel it coming
I could sense that nothing good was happening that day
I got a funny feeling
I could smell that something bad was cooking at my place that night
Something wasn't right
I got the hunch and my hunch don't tell no lies [2x]
Started as a tingle
Pretty soon those jingle bells were ringing in my ear
Wanted to ignore them
Just forget the omen sign that showed up loud and clear that night
Oh, something wasn't right
I got the hunch and my hunch don't tell no lies [2x]
Premonition - I could see the future all the time
Recognition - something wasn't right
I've seen it all like a picture in my mind
I got the hunch and my hunch don't tell no lies
How did I end up here?
Thought the sky was blue and clear
Everything was going fine
I guess I learned my lesson
Listen carefully to me
I know things can fall apart over night
Oh, something wasn't right
I got the hunch and my hunch don't tell no lies, lies
I like what you wear and I like how you move
If I was staring it's because I'm in the mood
I'm down with your love, come on hold out your hand
I'll take you where I'm going, you wanna see the promised land
[Chorus:]
I tell you yes but you tell me no
I ask why, you never let me know
You close your eyes, I hold you tight
But it's no surprise, I got no where to go
Even if I try try, If I lie
You're never gonna leave, leave me alone
I'm going home, you call my bluff
I can't get enough, can't get enough
I can't get enough
Give me a little time, take my mind anywhere
Put on something special, anything, I don't care
Just don't tell your friends, there's nothing left to see
Cause if it gets around, it gets around, it's the end of me
[Chorus]
I can't get enough
Don't blame yourself maybe I had too much to drink
One less margarita, one more trip to the shrink--come on!
[Chorus]
I know my hands are tied
I can't see nothing when you're inside
And I know the nights are long
You're falling asleep with your new dress on
Close your eyes and drift away
I'll be right here when you're awake
[Chorus]
It's funny how no one's laughing
The champagne's popping and the baby's coughing
It's the same old story, the same old movie
But when you're with me it's a masterpiece
'Cause you are my only friend
You know nothing's free
You can pray all night, but they'll take their fee
And who knows how long it'll take?
Why stand in line with all the fakes?
Look around, look away
Tomorrow's just another day
[Chorus]
Yes, you are my only friend
[2x]
i hear you're mad at the world
mad at the ones who choose to follow
another's life
well, if you want to get away
come right this way with me
and you will see
what about the ones that always fake
who they are
don't wory
they'll always be the same
well if you wantto get away
come right this way with me
and you will see
that in my mind
what i believe exists
and i can dress how i want
adn act how i want
and no one can bring me down
well i can sove all your worries
for the next day
slide this capsule down your throat
and yor world will become what you'e been waiting for?
all thses years
You say it's hard to read me
I make it hard for you
I'm not that easy
It's a strength you can't undo
Your mind ain't playing tricks
And neither am I
Well, this ain't more than kicks
I like your kind
Ooooo, you're asking for trouble
Don't come around again
I live alone and I got no more room
And I won't get my peace til I'm in my tomb
I'm warnin' you
Warnin' you to stay away
Cause you'll be hurtin'
Hurtin' the next day
I don't need another enemy
And you don't need a painful memory
I'm a bad man when it comes to girls like you
Yeah, I'm a bad man
I wanna know
All there's to know about you
I want you to know
Nothing about me although...
I'll give you a taste
When you think that you know me
I'll blow you away
So baby, bow down Daisy Duke
You don't know me so well
I think you know that now
I'm unbreakable
There's no need for fragile stickers
You're too young for me
But I can keep a secret
I'm in total control
Of the situation
Bow down Daisy Duke
Sit on my couch
Snuggle with me through the hard night
I don't bite, baby
I'll be good to you in the morning
Don't you say no to me, baby
Big mistake
I'll throw you away
So baby, bow down Daisy Duke
You don't know me so well
I think you know that now
I'm unbreakable
There's no need for fragile stickers
You're too young for me
But I can keep a secret
I'm in total control
Of the situation
Bow down Daisy Duke
Bow down Daisy Duke
Bow down Daisy Duke
I'm much too rough
With the way that I phrase things
I'm sorry for cuffing you
To my bathtub
Bow down Daisy Duke
Bow down Daisy Duke
You don't know me so well
I think you know that now
I'm unbreakable
There's no need for fragile stickers
You're too young for me
But I can keep a secret
I'm in total control
Of the situation
Bow down Daisy Duke
Bow down Daisy Duke
I remember when you told me
"Do what you want, do are what you want, baby"
I can't get you out of my head
You're everywhere and everyone
I'm calling the world
Calling everyone
I'm calling the world
Calling everyone for you, for you
Then you ran off, in a hurry
Where did you go, I haven't seen you since Friday
I've been wasting all of my time
Worrying about you everyday
I'm calling the world
Calling everyone
I'm calling the world
Calling everyone for you, for you
I called your best friend
And your little brother
But they didn't wanna talk
They said you changed your locks
I called every number in the phonebook
But everybody lied
They said you wanna, you wanna hide
Calling the world, calling everyone
I'm calling the world
Calling everyone, calling everyone
For you, for you
I'm calling the world
I'm calling the world
I'm calling the world
The colors have built up in my mind
theyre bleeding through my heart
well no body knows that they exist
look at my bursted viens
now do you see the red in me
its a sign for the end
only the ends of the red...
will show you my blueside...
(x2)
well ive been given my brush and plate
but where will i paint my life
and will the buyer in the sky
believe in what i dream
and its so hard for me to explain
what i will miss you myself
only the ends of the red
will show you my blue side
(5x)
huh huh uh uh
huh hu uhh uhhh
huh huh uhh yeah...
why are you surprised
nobody's arrived
the thoughts on people's minds are
we're nothing
must you be so blind
not to realize
everybody's thoughts
mean something
it goes to bed...
nothing stays the same
all we do is blame
but we're the one's at fault
no one's perfect
i'll tell it like it is
we don't belong in this biz
so pack up your vintage life
we're leaving
it goes to bed...
they say what they think they know
and they know what's on television
they dress how the others dress
and they feel without the truth of even feeling
it goes to bed...
how did you know
where ever i was
i wasn't thinking about you
well i can't explain
why i have changed
it's not the smoke
that, or your perfume
can you quit what you started in the past
cause you now it isn't real
well nothing is real
did you ever really think we had a shot
cause i kndw we could never be forever
you made me feel
in total control
of the way that i felt about you
but how could i know that i would be wrong
i thought that we'd last til the end
I told you before
I'm not looking for someone to hold me
Take your hand off my back
the weight is making me heavy
I don't like public affection
it belongs in the bedroom
Well I don't want to run around
I got plans in the afternoon
What did you expect?
Well I told you from the start
That I'm not your boyfriend
All the hope
All the pain
All the tears you cried
Every laugh
Every kiss
Every time I lied
Well I'm not what you think or dreamed of
It's all in your head
You need somebody nice
someone with patience
And a big fat wallet
to pay for all your expenses whoa
No compliment will ever
make a dent in your eyes
You're impossible to please even with surprises
I could never say all the things you need to hear
Well there aren't enough words that fit
Wake up you have to see
You can't go on this way
It's you who makes it hard
we got a call today
janin said, "mr. james is up to no good"
teddy suited up and taylor got the car
we were off to save the day for their game
we are the...
freedom fighters, give us a call
freedom fighters, we want you
we've come to save the day
from the ones who cannot pay

mr. james and i battled to the death
taylor backed me up and everyone watches as
teddy hit the switch and saved the day
tell your friends about us
spread the word we need the work
tell your fiiends about us
freedom fighters are number one
Are you hanging up your stockings on a wall ?
It's the time that every centre has a ball
Does he ride a red nosed reindeer ?
Do a 'ton up' on a sleigh
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day ?
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
Are you waiting for your family to arrive ?
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside ?
Does your granny always tell ya that the old songs are the best ?
She'll be up and rock 'n' rollin' with the rest
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
What will your daddy do
If he catches mama kissin' Santa ?
Ah ah
Are you hanging up your stockings on a wall ?
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall ?
Do you ride on down the hillside in a buggy you have made ?
When you land upon your ass then you've been slayed
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
So here it is merry Christmas
Everybody's having fun
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
you think you know a lot about the things that are going on
you think you've made the right decisions for walking away
well your wrong

Sad girl
There's no need to feel sad girl
Sad girl
Life isn't so bad
You know
You don't know
You don't know
That all your silly talkin'
Won't get you where you wanna be
So I suggest you take your case straight out of this reality
Oh, come on
You can do better
Than listenin' to nameless vintage records
Sad girl, you have got a name, haven't you?
Come on, come on, come on

Posh girl
I bet all skins in that bag, girl

you are falling for me
and the love you have
is reformed in me
i forget to tell you
how much you mean to me
but you never change
no you never change
we drive and drive and drive but never get anywhere
we talk and talk and talk it's not fair
you have to believe you have to
you have to believe you have to
cause what i feel is right for us
it is right for us
it is right for love
You were supposed to leave on monday morning
But you changed your flight to thursday night
I was supposed to take you around and around
This crazy town they like to call original
I have this feeling you're not coming back
Yes, I have this feeling you're not coming back
I don't want to be there, when you're going to be there.
I don't want to be there, when you're going to be there.
Now that you left I don't know if I threw up
The signs kept telling them that something's wrong
I called the airline, they said they would page you
But they were too lazy and unaware of the signs
I have this feeling you're not coming back
I have this feeling you're not coming back
I don't want to be there, when you're going to be there.
I don't want to be there, when you're going to be there.
Oh. this is happening again, the number 22
Is watching me watching you
Way up in the sky, don't know if you made it
Or if there's something wrong
I tried, and tried, to get you to come back
You never ever ever came back
oh what a day
i hadnt met you
from what i heard i thought i had
sorry to dissapoint you
i wasnt all that interested
but when you left that ten minute message
i felt i knew you less and less

for making my life a misery
I'm asking everyone around me
How to live my life
I know the answers I keep hearing
But I listen close each time
I'm waiting for something
To click but it don't come
I wish I didn't have to choose
Then there's no one to blame
Help me find my way
'Cause I've been lost since you've been gone
Like the rose you left behind
'Cause I can see the ground
Help me find my way
Help me find my way
There's only so much I'm prepared for
You can't expect me to fly
I've been trying my best to finish
Where you left off
Who am I supposed to trust?
Every smile speaks
I'll have to teach myself
How to live and to learn
Help me find my way
'Cause I've been lost since you've been gone
Like the rose you left behind
'Cause I can see the ground
Help me find my way
Help me find my way
Help me find my way
'Cause I've been lost since you've been gone
Help me find my way
'Cause I've been lost since you've been gone
Like the rose you left behind
'Cause I can see the ground
I need you everyday to tell me what to say
Help me find a way
Stay away from my friends
They're smooth operators
Looking for a way in
Stay away from me tonight
I've made other plans
And you'll just be distracting me
In a good way
She doesn't know
That I love her
Yes I love her
Make a move on me baby
I cant be the one who's
Always taking chances
See me down
So you get down
No you've got me all wrong
I just want to kiss your lips
And you kiss back
She doesn't know
That I love her
Yes I love her
Leave us alone
Your friends
And my friends
Should go
Well, i met this girl on a
Saturday night, saturday night
Saturday night, saturday night
Saturday night, saturday night
She sat there all alone with that
Shirley temple and a cellular phone
No one to call
No one to ring
Cause no ones home
The bartender knew her number and name
I grabbed my cell phone and gave her a ring
Wrong number
Guess i've gotta do it the hard way
I walked up to her having seen the future and said
I'm sorry sorry for making your life a living hell
I'm sorry sorry for making your life a living hell
That wasn't me
That was alter ego
That wasn't me
That was johnny rockets
She was so confused
From her point of view i would be confused too
I was so rude
What was i thinking?
But, but she dug my hair and new suede shoes so much
She dragged me straight, straight to her room
And i was forgetting what i knew i would do
Two hours later we lay on the bed and i said
I'm sorry sorry for making your life a living hell
I'm sorry sorry for making your life a living hell
That wasn't me
That was alter ego
That wasn't me
That was johnny rockets
I'm sorry, sorry for making your life a living hell
(i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i'm sorry)
I'm sorry sorry for making your life a living hell
(i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i'm sorry)
That wasn't me
That was alter ego
That wasn't me
That was johnny rockets
I'm sorry, sorry for making your life
I'm sorry, sorry for making your life
when will i learn to be alone
how can i learn to let go of you
everyone can see me
but i can't see myself
have you seen the key that
leads to me
'cause i need to find myself
i'm running out
i'm running out of time
to find myself
why do i suck at putting smiles on their faces
why am i only funny to myself
how come no one understands what i say
but i thought i didn't know myself
i hate everyone
only on certain days
i think you're all
annoyed by me
so i'll leave, and find myself
Love don't come so easily
This doesn't have to end in tragedy
I have you and you have me
We're one in a million
Why can't you see?
I'm waiting, waiting for nothing
You're leaving, leaving me hanging
When did your heart go missing?
When did your heart go missing?
I treat you like a princess
But your life is just one big mess
When did your heart go missing?
When did your heart go missing, yeah?
I meant every word I said
I never was lying when we talked in bed
I'm retracing every step in my head
What did I miss back then?
I was so, so misled
I'm waiting, waiting for nothing
You're leaving, leaving me hanging
When did your heart go missing?
When did your heart go missing?
I treat you like a princess
But your life is just one big mess
When did your heart go missing?
When did your heart go missing?
I don't understand
How could you forget what we had,
It's so wrong
I'm waiting, waiting for nothing
You're leaving, leaving me hanging
When did your heart go missing?
When did your heart go missing?
I treat you like a princess
But your life is just one big mess
When did your heart go missing?
When did your heart go missing?
Yeah!
Things were so good
We had a little dream
A little dream together
Buy a house, settle down, do our thing
But you disappeared on me
And your heart, your heart went missin'
I don't know how to find it
I don't know where it is
I don't know where your heart went
It was here just the other day
Now it's gone
I'm gonna call the police
You come around, come around sometimes
You don’t say it, but something’s on your mind
It’s an ugly, disgusting business
Working hard, paying for your mistress
Look at you looking like a big shot
Buying time is all you ever got
Who do you, tell me who do you think I am
Tell me now, tell me it’s over
Who do you, tell me who do you think you are
You’re talking like you’re my Father
Why should I try
When it’s all a lie
Everyone’s got an alibi
What do you want
What do you need
Everyone’s trying to suckceed
What happened to the promises you made
You didn’t keep em’, you’re a jack of all trades
You’re spread thin and someone’s gotta suffer
I can take it, I’ve been getting tougher
You wanna be, wanna be my best friend
Well it depends on what you make and what you spend
You can’t change me, can’t tell me what I am
You’re not a pimp and I’m not your little man
Send me off, I’d rather you send me away
I don’t know you cause you don’t hear a word I say
Why should I try
When it’s all a lie
Everyone’s got an alibi
What do you want
What do you need
Everyone’s trying to suckceed
You come around here tell me it’s the end
I thought we were brothers, thought you were my friend
You’re just like the others, fickle and fake
If you bring enough for them you can have your cake
Why should I try
When it’s all a lie
Everyone’s got an alibi
What do you want
What do you need
Everyone’s trying to suckceed
I don't know a lot about her
But she, she knew a lot about me
Her family seemed to love her
If what they say is true
Her friends all share the good times man
That girl has love
That girl has--
I, I didn't have a clue then
That a kiss would change my whole life again
She walked into my room
When i was all alone
She told me I would date her from September till December
[Chorus:]
She doesn't know things will never be the same again
She'll always be seventeen
That girl has love
She kept all the pain inside
Now she has got nothing to hide
At such a young age she took her own life
Now she's seeing things that come in our dreams at night
She's a dreamer
(Chorus)
That was too real to ever be fake
That was too strong to ever be forgotten
That girl has love
The colors have built up in my mind
They're bleeding through my heart
And nobody knows that they exist
Look at my bursted veins
Now do you see the red in me
It's a sign for the end
Only the end of the red
Will show you my blue side
I've been given my brush and plate
But where will i paint my life
And will the buyer in the sky
Believe in what i dream
And it's so hard for me to explain
What i will miss
You don't know what's right anymore
You think your love is just a score
Are you too young or afraid to grow up?
You can work this out if you both try
It's hard to cheat but harder to lie
Is this what you want or just a passing thought?
Maybe you should think about it
Before you go and break her heart
Maybe you need more time to decide
Ask yourself "what for?
What for, what for, what for?"
You painted a picture she wanted to see
You can laugh this one off but it's not funny
She's given you everything she has
Oh oh
Maybe you should think about it
Before you go and break her heart
Maybe you need more time to decide
Ask yourself, "what for?
What for, what for, what for?"
You wanted her and you got her
But you're still so careless with your words
If you let her go, she'll move on
Find someone, she's never coming back
How can you live with that?
Maybe you should think about it
Before you go and break her heart
Maybe you need more time to decide
So you should think about it some more
Ask yourself, "what for?"
(I know it sounds like the same old line)
What for?
(I know it seems like the same old guy)
What for?
(Maybe I don't know how to treat you right)
What for?
(Maybe you'll meet someone to know your life)
What for?
(You said I lied since the day we met)
What for?
(But I meant every word I said)
What for?
(Someday you'll miss every single day we spent)
i get down only on certain days
from the littlest things they do
i don't know whether i've
done something wrong
or said something wrong
i try and act the same day by day
but i think my actions are
what's pissing you off
everyday, so you
turn away
turn yourselves away from me
no more making up excuses
when i need you
I remember when we held each other while the world changed
I was eleven, you were thirteen - we never seemed to act our own age
How could we know in a heartbeat things would never be the same?
What a fool I was to think nothing's ever coming our way
It's her little brother's dream to be on the same team some day
A sentimentalist, a natural, but now I don't know what to say
I can't go on believing 'cause I know there's a reason
I can't go on if you go on this way
Well, everybody wants a piece, but that's how it goes
They'll use you and bruise you and leave on the side of the road
Don't confuse me for one of them, I'm never putting on a show
I can't go on believing 'cause I know there's a reason
I can't go on if you go on this way
This ain't about you and this ain't about me this time
It's about looking past the things we share inside
So don't turn your head
You could be dead, you could be on your own
I can't go on believing 'cause I know there's a reason
I can't go on if you go on this way [3x]
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
I love you
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
I love you
I do, I do
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
I love you
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
I love you
I do, I do
But I told you why we just can't make it
I want you still but just can't take it
The time has come we oughta break it
Someone has to pay the price
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
It's over
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
All over, it's true, it's true
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
It's over
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
All over, it's true, it's true
And I think of times we were together
As time went on, it seemed forever
But times have changed
Now things are better
Someone had to pay the price
Yeah, yeah
And I think of times we were together
As time went on it seemed forever
But times have changed
Now things are better
Oh, now things are better
Oh, things are better
The colors have built up in my mind
They're bleeding through my heart
And nobody knows that they exist
Look at my bursted veins
Now do you see the red in me
It's a sign for the end
Only the end of the red
Will show you my blue side
I've been given my brush and plate
But where will i paint my life
And will the buyer in the sky
Believe in what i dream
And it's so hard for me to explain
What i will miss
To myself
I know my hands are tied
I can't see nothing when you're inside
And I know the nights are long
You're falling asleep with your new dress on
Close your eyes and drift away
I'll be right here when you're awake
[Chorus]
It's funny how no one's laughing
The champagne's popping and the baby's coughing
It's the same old story, the same old movie
But when you're with me it's a masterpiece
'Cause you are my only friend
You know nothing's free
You can pray all night, but they'll take their fee
And who knows how long it'll take?
Why stand in line with all the fakes?
Look around, look away
Tomorrow's just another day
[Chorus]
Yes, you are my only friend
I don't know a lot about her
But she, she knew a lot about me
Her family seemed to love her
If what they say is true
Her friends all shared the good times
Man, that girl has love
That girl has -
I, I didn't have a clue then
That a kiss
Would change my whole life again
She walked into my room
When I was all alone
She told me I would date her from
September 'til December
She doesn't know
Things will never be the same again
She'll always be seventeen
That girl has love
She kept all the pain inside
Now she has got nothing to hide
At such a young age
She took her own life
Now she's seeing things that come in
Our dreams at night
She's a dreamer
She doesn't know
Things will never be the same again
She'll always be seventeen
That girl has love
That was too real
To ever be fake
That was too strong
To ever be forgotten
That girl has love
Love, love, love, love, love
love, love, love, love, love
Love, (she can't), love, love
love, love, love, love
She doesn't know
Things will never be the same again
She'll always be seventeen
That girl has
That girl has
That girl has love.
Lying in the pool water, looking at the sky again
Drifting while the days go by, floating in circles
[Chorus]
I see you up in the blue
I send a thought to you from the prism of my mind
Out of my head and into the blue
My baby blue, my baby blue
Flying in the long, wide airplane, looking at the world below
Watching all the clouds go by, flying in circles
[Chorus]
I see you out in the blue
I send a thought to you from the prism of my mind
Out of my head and into the blue
My baby blue, my baby blue
My baby blue, my baby blue
Out of my head and into the blue
My baby blue, my baby blue
I've done it all, dear
The games that lovers play
I've had them both, dear
The good times and the bad
Save all your tears for
Some other guy
Tell me you love me
It's all I wanna hear
Tell me you love me
It's all I wanna hear from you
Tell me soon
You want it all, dear
A life for fairy tales
You had it all, dear
I can't give you anymore
But I know what you need me to say
Tell me you love me
It's all I wanna hear
Tell me you love me
It's all I wanna hear from you
Tell me soon
Tell me!
I've done it all, dear
The games that lovers play
I've had them both, dear
The good times and the bad
Save all your tears for
Some other guy
Tell me you love me
It's all I wanna hear
Tell me you love me
It's all I wanna hear
Tell me you love me
It's all I wanna hear
Tell me you love me
Come on and tell me, baby
Tell me you love me
Tell me you love me
From you, tell me soon
I put up with the bickering
I keep forgetting how deep I'm in
I put up with your putting down
You said this high school hope won't be coming around
And it's true
I've seen it before
And it's you
Who's asking for more
But I'll take my time
And I'll take it away
From all the no-go missile toes
There's nothing to say
Don't make me wait
Don't hesitate
I won't let you go
I won't let you go
It's all been a while
I haven't seen your smile
I don't understand
I don't understand you
I don't know what you're looking for
A new face or a coat for the poor
It doesn't have to take this long
But you lost the crowd before the end of the song
And it's true
You get what you want
If you knew
You knew what you got
But you never see 'til the end of the day
You're a blind bat water rat slippin' away
Don't make me wait
Don't hesitate
I won't let you go
I won't let you go
It's all been a while
I haven't seen your smile
I don't understand
I don't understand you
I know it's now or never
I know you're gone forever
But this wave pool I'm swimming in
It's not fair
I don't understand
No I don't understand
I don't understand
No I don't understand
I don't understand
No I don't understand
I don't understand
You're looking at me, you're lost in a stare
Well, I have to admit I didn't know you were there
We're trying our best to keep this alive,
But neither one of us knows how to survive
[Chorus]
I push you, I pull you
I hurt you, I argue
I don't wanna lose you, I don't wanna lose you
I fight you, I hold you
I hate you, I still love you
I don't wanna lose you...
I don't want to think about yesterday
I know what I said
But the more you put up with me, the worse I get
Come on, teach me a lesson
And make me regret the things I said
[Chorus]
It's not you, it's not me
It's just something we can't see
I'm giving up, giving in
Yeah, I'm gonna let it be
I was young, I'd seen it all
A cemetery in the middle of a super mall
I went to school, I never learned
How it feels, how everything you love can burn
And it never stops, it's all I got
And I never know when to turn
Like a merry-go-round, it all comes around again
[Chorus]
And I don't know why I'm here
I don't know where I'll go
If I don't give it time, how can this garden grow?
I don't know what I've lost and I don't know where to get it back
But I'm holdin' on
Yes, I'm holdin' on for as long as I can
I moved away, I left the band
I saw it coming, it was written on the back of my hand
And every day, I could feel something missing
I went home to get a record deal
And my mother said, "You're theirs to your dead,
To them, it's just another meal."
Now I'm fat with regret, I'm placing my bet on me
[Chorus]
It's not over yet, no, it's not even close
My heart is younger, stronger than 100 cowards in a row
And all my curiosity will keep me asking, "What went wrong?"
When it's all done, when it's gone,
No, it won't be long 'til I'm traveling back in time
To a place when I was mine
I don't know why I'm here
I don't know where I'll go
If I don't give it time, how can this garden grow?
I don't know what I've lost and I don't know where to get it back
But I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
Metal Guru is it you
Metal Guru is it you
Sitting there in your armour plated chair
Metal Guru is it true
Metal Guru is it true
All alone without a telephone
Metal Guru could it be
You're gonna bring my baby to me
She'll be wild you know
A rock'n'roll child
Metal Guru has it been
Just like a silver-studded sabre-tooth dream
I'll be clean you know
Pollution machine
