Oh, no, no-everything must go
Lost our lease to the liquor store
We'll be back to fight another day
Yeah, uh-huh-that's what they all say
Going out of style in a paper bag
Sniffing chloroform out of burning flags
Going down in flames and it feels okay
Yeah, uh-huh-that's what they all say
Yeah, yeah, yeah it's a pleasure to burn
I keep fucking up and I never learn
It's alright, it's okay-we're gonna beat 'em anyway
Yeah, uh-huh-that's what they all say
Yeah, uh-huh-that's what they all say
Take it easy
Take it easy
You won't like me when I'm angry
Mashed potatoes
Nice and easy
It didn't have to be this way but
That's what they all say
The devil's in the details
The devil's in the details
Sucking on the third
I said the devil's in the details
It's alright, it's okay-we're gonna beat 'em anyway
Yeah, uh-huh-that's what they all say
Yeah, uh-huh-that's what they all say
I want to go down in flames
I want the guilty to hang
The Empire falls
It's a pleasure to burn
A pleasure to burn
The conquering worm
Yeah, uh-huh
That's what they all say...

It's something in my mind
Won't let my heart and head and mouth connect
And something in my mind
Won't let my heart out of the darkness yet
That something in my mind, it's locked away
I'm living well

I used... I used her right... oh, yeah
I broke her open wide... I broke her open wide... oh, yeah
Don't you give me no
Don't you give me no shit
Digging down deep in my conscience
Digging up something nasty and white
Break wide down the middle and hard
I'll tear away what I came for
You're never You're never You're never gonna get it
(repeats)
Can you just go home defeated?
Take your pride and eat it
Crawl back beaten
Sources are depleated
Can you take the final hit and admit that you were wrong?
Dont even call it even
Bleedin' is beliving
Former well-being
We're closing for the season
Can you take the final hit and admit that you don't belong?
Beatin' 6 ways til Sunday
Beatin' 6 ways til Sunday now
You're gonna have to leave it
You know you'll never need it
Wait til you see what we've planned for you
And its heinous
So come on, come on comeupins
You really are the star of the show right now
And it's strange but kinda strange
When clichs are true
Beatin' 6 ways til Sunday
Beatin' 6 ways til Sunday now
And I am sorry to enjoy this
But what would you have me do?
What would you have me do?
Can you just go home hated
Half intoxicated
Hopelessly outdated
And not appreciated
Can you take the final blow and know that you fucked up?
Go state the overstated
Keep it complicated
The over educated
That hope you'll never make it
Can you take the final blow and know they won't be shutting up
Beatin' 6 ways to Sunday
Beatin' 6 ways to Sunday now
You're gonna have to leave it
You know you'll never need it
Wait til you see what we've planned for you
And it's heinous
So come on, come on comeupins
You really are the star of the show right now
And it's strange but kinda strange
When clichs are true
Beatin' 6 ways to Sunday
Beatin' 6 ways to Sunday now
And I am sorry to enjoy this
But what would you have me do?
Baby's outta town but I see the light on
What are you up to now?
Headin' for the gun, I can see rock bottom
No one will help you now
Beatin' 6 ways to Sunday
Beatin' 6 ways to Sunday now
Gonna have to leave it
You know you'll never need it
Everything has been cut and dry for you
And its heinous
So come on, come on comeupins
You really are the star of the show right now
And its strange but kinda strange
When clichs are true
Yeah
Beatin' 6 ways to sunday
Beatin' 6 ways to sunday now
And I am sorry to enjoy this
But what would you have me do?
What would you have me do? (x5)
Beatin' 6 ways to Sunday (x6)
Hold tight
It's New years Eve
It will be cold tonight
Kill the heat
And shut out all the lights
And cut the phone line too
Alright
We don't need nothing but cyanide
Pulled out teeth won't be identified
What would you have me do?
You got it
Hold tight
It's New years Eve
It will be cold tonight
Kill the heat
And shut out all the lights
And cut the phone line too
You got it
Alright
We don't need nothing but cyanide
Pulled out teeth won't be identified
What would you have me do?
You got it
Hold tight
It's New years Eve (You got it)
It will be cold tonight
Kill the heat (You got it)
And shut out all the lights
And cut the phone line too (You got it)
You got it
Alright
We don't need nothing (You got it) but cyanide
Pulled out teeth (You got it) won't be identified
(You got it)
What would you have me do?
You got it
(In background throughout rest of song:
You got it.
Gimme money, gimme blow
Keep your girlfriend
Yeah, I'm falling fast, I'm not gonna last)
[Instrumental]
I believe in someone
You change my mind all the time the only one I know
I know it's kind of sudden
But I believe in someone
I couldn't say, how this would play
I've made my purpose clear
I believe in someone
I believe in someone
I believe in ones I love
I've never been this naked
I don't think I could fake it
It's as I've feared, I don't feel scared
I'd trick you if I did
Can I tell you something?
I believe in someone
That someone's you
And I'd tell the truth
But you've never asked me to
I believe in someone I believe in someone
I believe in someone
If you want it, then it's great
If you don't, you'll have to wait
Doctor, help me medicate
Doctor, give it to me straight
If you got the stink of luck
Find a moviestar to fuck
Come on like a semi truck
I said "all night"
Thinking what you coulda been
Thinking what you shoulda been
Left without a decent friend
Not now, not then
Sell my life in stock and trade
Making like you got it made
If you want another
You know me, I got nowhere to be
Bailing through my barricade
Living and in love with me
If you want another
You know me, I got nowhere to be
Don't wanna break down
Yeah (x3)
Passin' up your salad days
Creepin' up on middle-age
Chasin' down the latest craze
Oh yeah, all-right
If you want it, then it's great
If you don't, you'll have to wait
Doctor, help me medicate
Doctor, give it to me straight
Living and in love with me
Bailing through my barricade
If you want another
You know me, I got nowhere to be
Sell my life in stock and trade
Making like you got it made
If you want another
You know me, I got nowhere to be
Don't wanna break down
Sell my life in stock and trade
Making like you got it made
So if you want another
You know me, I got nowhere to be
Sell my life in stock and trade
Making like you got it made
If you want another
You know me, I got nowhere to be
Sailing down my barricade
Living and in love with me
If you want another
You know me, I got nowhere to be
Don't wanna break down
Yeah (x4)
You...You're not asking questions that I don't have answers for
You're hard to fool
But not too hard to do
You played it cool
But cool can get you screwed
And I'm way too fucked up on that to allow myself a way to get back
You..You're not taking actions for responsibilities
And these are only words
And, yeah, they are yours
And you know that of course
But we have tricky words
And I'm way too fucked up on that to allow myself a way to get back
You... You were throwing caution to what you were pissing in
Pissing in the wind, and that's the shape I'm in
I took that on the chin, the circle's closing in
And you don't have to grin, or give my world a spin
And I don't want to win, I just want to begin
No, I'll cut you in a minute
You know you should admit it, oh yeah
There's no turning back
I guess that you knew that
My eyes are turning black and my brain is getting fat
I'm staring at some ants that are swimming in shellac
I won't do this again, no
No, I'll cut you in a minute
You know you should admit it- oh yeah
Here I go again
I should be among friends
I'll let you know when
I start to feel a nerve end
That should be around ten
So just shut up until then
Soaked in glowstick juice
I'd like to think that it's out of fear
When you blow into town maybe twice a year
To check on me, see if I'm still here
And you make me think that it's my idea
When everything in the world is free
I come to you so easily
You've never felt a sense of me
You that I refused to see
You had me but it's over now
It's no problem
I'm not really sure why I let you win
Or even why I let it begin
I've always been an easy in
And easy out the door again
I know it's only because you're down
That you'd ever want to come around
Just a little secret in a little town
You had me but it's over now
You'll get my attention again somehow
Eight hours to get to heaven hill
Head down, due south, past Louisville
Dont stop until the bourbon still
Parker says we can drink our fill
Eight hours to get to heaven hill
Eight hours
Just leave me where I'm found
And put my bones in the ground
Oh yeah, well, it's a buffalo trace
Fan out and dont give up on the chase
She will make her mark on my face
The Blue Grass Parkway is my favorite place
Eight hours to get to heaven hill
Eight hours
Just leave me where I'm found
And put my bones in the ground
All hail, Manowar is dead
Give up the ghost and put your babies to bed
Oh yeah, well, you're so easily led
All your money keeps your horses fed
All hail, Manowar is dead
Hail, hail
Just leave me where I'm found
the zoso no show
the tin and the yang
the stepped up nose blow
the cheap easy band
they're pimping you out
fall out of line
they'll take you up from the tower
they'll turn on the juice, boy
and then they'll turn on the power
yeah, they're pimping you out
they're pimping you out
I never said I wouldn't lie to you
I never said that what I said was true
You're on to something good
But I can't believe it's all
That matters to you
A fool
Who never seems happy
When things are great
It's too late
Before you can think
The thought has entered your mind
Pack up the cats and move to the city
Leave the checks and the balance behind
[Incomprehensible] in the city
I'll move with nothing left to prove to you
You're on to something good
but it can't be all that matters
You're on to something good
but I can't believe it's all
that matters to you
a fool
who never seems happy
when things are great
too late
before you can think
the thought has entered your mind
and it will be back soon
You're on to something good
but it can't be all that matters
Take anything you want, but leave everything you need.
But you better take heed, you won't get to see me bleed.
I can always change, but you'll always be the same.
It's such a crying shame, But someone should take the blame.
An if you go home with another tough guy,
I don't want to hear you cry, how you can look him in the eye.
An if you go home with another tough guy,
I don't want to hear you cry, theres no more of you and I
If you wanna live, if you wanna live, if you wanna live i can help you out with that
If you wanna live, if you wanna live, if you wanna live i can help you out with that
i know i'm being mean and i know i'm playing rough
and i know you've had it tough, but i think i've had enough
i was unaware of you ever playing fair, and i really dont care
how's the weatrher down there
An if you go home with another tough guy,
I don't want to hear you cry, how you can look him in the eye.
An if you go home with another tough guy,
I don't want to hear you cry, theres no more of you and I
If you wanna live, if you wanna live, if you wanna live i can help you out with that
If you wanna live, if you wanna live, if you wanna live i can help you out with that
If you wanna live, if you wanna live, if you wanna live i can help you out with that
If you wanna live, if you wanna live, if you wanna live i can help you out with that
and if you go home with another tough guy, another tough guy who's just a little too high
and if you go home with another tough guy, i dont wanna hear you cry there's no more of you and i.
i'm up in the air, how's the weather down there?
i dont want to play fair, and i really dont care
i'm up in the air, how's the weather downt here
i really dont care, i really dont care
If you wanna live, if you wanna live, if you wanna live i can help you out with that(repeat till end)
say what you want to say to me
i don't know who you know
but that'll change eventually
i wanna know who you know
wanna see what you say and have a field day today
don't need a reason
wanna go where you go
wanna see what you say and have a field day today
i wanna go
i'm all alone
once you've been for a skid
i'm all alone
doing everything you did
no one cares and no one calls
but the party in the bathroom stall
everyone is telling jokes that i don't get at all
i'm all alone
hey, whatcha wanna pay for me?
i'm in love with rock'n'roll
but that'll change eventually
i wanna know who you know
wanna see what you say and have a field day today
don't need a reason
wanna go where you go
wanna see what you say and have a field day today
i wanna go
i'm all alone
once you've been for a skid
i'm all alone
doing everything you did
no one cares and no one calls
but the party in the bathroom stall
no one's gonna call a number written on the wall
i'm all alone
no one cares and no one calls
but the party in the bathroom stall
no one's gonna call a number written on the wall
i'm all alone
Maybe the life I've left
Is coming back for me
Maybe to beat you, I'll cheat you
Maybe it's twisted, ham fisted
Imparting the words to impeach you
It's all right
Maybe.
Wanna play?
This one is turning sour
I'm in love with a riot grrrl
I'm a boy and I know that that's bad
But I don't see what's got her so mad
Now I'm not dumb
I've got my eyes tied on
I've seen her 'zine and I think it's right on
Now I don't care if she makes me be quiet
Abusive excuses are all I have to hold
Use and re-use to explain why I'm so cold
One for headaches
One for stress
But the one for fear's the one I like best
Abusive excuses they save me everytime
The slow slide down
You never can see it
The slow slide down
You always believe it
Destructive impulses and cowardice and lies
Buzzing back to life like freeze dried flies
Flies for love and flies for sex
But the flies for fear are flies I like best
Impulsive destruction is where my talent lies
The slow slide down
You're trying to change me
It's all my fault
But you never blame me
It's in everything we do
One for love and one for sex
But the one for fear's the one I like best
This act is a bore but it makes me who I am
The slow slide down
You never can see it
My act is a bore
You always believe it
Sucking like a crack hack
Feeling like an eight-track
Out of whack
All the times a clucking no
A suck it and a suck it
I don't want to live with that
And you don't want to take it back
And I don't want to be a rat
And you don't want a kitty cat
Reaching for the phone ring
Settle for the chump change
Settle down
Make it like a godsend
Feeling like a has-been
Remember when
All the times a clucking no
A suck it and a suck it
All the times a clucking no
A suck it and a suck it
I don't want to live with that
And you don't want to take it back
And I don't want to be a rat
I don't need my ego fed
I just wanna feel I can trust
Those halcyon days are here
They went away but they're back again
This glow never ends
I'm numbed out on bliss
That comes on like a friend
And its great
A fantastic waste of time
Life is long but it all moves so fast
You're first and you're last
Afraid of the future but I'm bored with the past
And it's great,
Yeah its great
It's so great
Remember when you wanted it all to end.
My last will and testament was full of things that I didn't really mean
I wanna come clean
But these words are easier to write than to read
Or to say
My mood swings are severe
But halcyon days are here anyway
I'm held in your sway
The drug of your love has me slipping away
And its great
Yeah its great
It's so great
Remember when you wanted it all to end
Sorry - to crash your party
But I just couldn't wait for an invitation
And I know damn well that you never sent one
But you can't kick me out, cause I live here, too, and I'm the life
of the goddamn party that you threw
Hangin out with a bunch of brats
I know you guys like to think that you know where it's at... but you don't
I understand why you guys are so mad
Yeah, I made a promise to love myself
But somehow I don't think that I'm gonna make it
Yeah, is that me behind the screen?
I see some shapes but I can't see any faces
An ego might not be so bad
It could be something I should have
I can't make my mind up
Help me with this while I grip this
I made a promise to myself but I think I need some help
If you see something that is good in me won't you tell me?
And maybe I'd be something you could stand
Yeah, I made a promise to love myself
I think this could be good for you as well as me
Yeah, I know I'm not that much fun
The joke I have become doesn't make you laugh
Well, punk is dead
And, yeah, you're next
But it seems no one has told you yet
So hardcore
You must be sore
You come on like a major threat
Face...I know you like it hard 'n' straight
Face...Think I'll hang around and wait
Hey, old school...yeah, you were cool
But that was back in the day
Yeah, that was back in the day
Well, take a bow
Harder than thou
You scream "Guilty" like a Judge on high
Well, beat them back
The new jacks
My pockets are out
you got me upside down
i've gone 5th Avenue crazy
Flat on my face
I feel your hands on my waist
You've gone 5th Avenue Crazy
This is what i want i guess
Aging fast and out of cash (gas)
both sides are cracked but there's no going back
because i'm bum-fuckin crazy with 5th Avenue Crazy
(girl's voice)
Oh my God i love you so
and that's all you need to know
give me money give me blow
don't slow down cuz red means "go"
you're gettin pathological the paths you take
but you can't change and you know you should
i've gotta head out
i've gotta try out
but the deal was to go and go until we're dead
WERE DEAD
5TH AVENUE CRAZY
red means go 5th Avenue Crazy
whatever you want
whatever turns you on
whatever you want
to fix whatever's wrong
i wanna go to where the parties are
where all my friends are tending bar
oh yeah
whatever turns you on
what can i say that you can't say better?
what can i tell you?

whatever turns you on
whatever you want
coming right along
shaking hands and all things lame
kissin ass and taking names
oh yeah
whatever turns you on
i know a thing about a thing or two
but what can i tell you?
a thing or two about a thing or two
but what can i tell you?
easily fooled and everything's cool
what can i tell you?
caught between now and never
what can i tell you?
what can i say that you can't say better?
everything you want is done
you wanna run and all you wanna get is high
stand back and letting all the checks roll in
you've done enough to get you by
you don't even try
with your resume around your neck
loans are going unpaid
dinner dates are delayed
phones calls are never returned
toys in the driveway
ashes in the ashtray
bridges that you've yet to burn
i think its coming to you
such a strange occupation
i think its coming to you
such a strange situation
you want to turn me around
by the resume around my neck
hand in hand on the witness stand
making time with you
you want to jerk me around
with your resume around your neck
you're gonna buy us with the ease of a virus and disease
you were on a rope but now your done
your lead is hard to follow
your story's hard to swallow
you've stopped being very much fun
i think its coming to you
such a strange occupation
you've got it coming to you
such a strange situation
i wanna hang you up
by the resume around your neck
hand in hand on the witness stand
making time with you
send you home
with broken bones
making time with you
say what you want to say to me
i don't know who you know
but that'll change eventually
i wanna know who you know
wanna see what you say and have a field day today
don't need a reason
wanna go where you go
wanna see what you say and have a field day today
i wanna go
i'm all alone

no one cares and no one calls
but the party in the bathroom stall
no one's gonna call a number written on the wall
i'm all alone
no one cares and no one calls
but the party in the bathroom stall
no one's gonna call a number written on the wall
She's my girl, she hates my job
She'd trade it all in for the time that it's robbed
She's okay, she don't lay blame
But she hates my job all the same
She hates my job, she won't say
I don't think I want to ask her anyway
I know something's gotta give
She hates my job but she'll live
She hates my job
She hates my job
She hates my job
Its all alright, she just hates my job
She'll admit it's not half bad
I love my job and so does
Her mom and dad
She hates my job
She hates my job
She hates my job
She hates my job
But I love her anyway
Writing what you say and saying it all back to you
Mayonnaise and Malaise to go
The catcher in the rye caught a catch 22
Keep it at a pace - My life is like a crawl to me
Catatonic face - I'm marking time randomly
Mayonnaise and Malaise to go
Dull and null and void and all my best instincts stink
They pay me by the hour and I don't even have to think
Charismatic bore and I don't wanna work no more
I'm gonna kill the next customer who walks in the door
Mayonnaise and Malaise to go
It's really something to be twenty-nothing
I feel my place is so secure
A culture spot that I have got
So glad to be unsure
We've passed our prime in record time
I never thought we'd fall so low
We've come this far to sell your cars
I want all my unease to go
It's really something, to be twenty-nothing
I feel my place is so secure
A culture spot that I have got
So glad to be unsure
I've come to resent what I represent
I'd like to smack that smile off your face
But for my angst I must say thanks
So good to be put in my place
Mayonnaise and Malaise to go
Punk Rock Car
Drawing a collective breath
I could cry myself to death
And wash this all away
In a flash you were gone
Leaving me a couple of songs
That I listen to everyday
And I don't even care
That you were so unfair
I worshipped one time at your feet
Save up our tears
Catalogue all our fears
Give into the stretching years
Your words hit me just last night
When I saw it with the after sight
What was on your mind
It's too late to ever change
Things go a little bit strange
You were too far behind
And the reasons I have to live
Are the reasons that you would give
To throw it all away
Save and freeze up our tears
Catalogue all our fears
Give into the stretching years
But that's O.K.
And I don't even care
That you were so unfair
I worshipped one time at your feet
Never heard what was said
All nerve ends are dead
Tinitus ringing in my head
Save and freeze up our tears
Catalogue all our fears
Give into the stretching years
Drown in my tears
Succumb to my fears
Give into the stretching years
But that's O.K.
I'm not O.K.
A one-trick pony in a one-horse town
You're feeling lonely and the cable's down
You feel like the only freak in this town
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with me?
We've got a life of scratching tickets
at the local gas and stop
So suck on another whippit and hear the brain cells pop
I know I'm nothing special
I know I'm nothing great
I know I'm nothing different
But I just don't feel the same
What's wrong with me?
Can you feel the radiation
dragging your sister down?
You won't feel the alienation
And you'll never leave this town
I know I'm nothing special
I know I'm nothing great
I know I'm nothing different
But I just don't feel the same
What's wrong with me?
I could be happy with less, I guess
If they tell me that less is more
Set a place for me at the table
I won't be hungry anymore
I know I'm nothing special
I know I'm nothing great
I know I'm nothing different
But I just don't feel the same
I'm not mad
I'm just bored
And everything I do is only because
There's nothing much else for me to do
And that includes you
Mess around with you
Piss away potential
Everyday is a waste
And I'm wasted everyday
There's nothing much else for me to do
And that includes you... and that includes you
Mess around with you
You see me now a little bit clearer
the face I make when I'm looking in the mirror
It gives me away
the things that I say
You think you know where I'm coming from
the words I say when I'm playing dumb
It gives me away
One more thing before we go
I've stepped over everyone I know
Everyone I know
You see me now a little bit clearer
The face I make when I'm looking in the mirror
It gives me away
You think you know where I'm coming from
The words I say when I'm playing dumb
It gives me away
I'm always ashamed
I'm always ashamed
Standing at the edge of something
Where discussions are like concussions
Whisper in my ear cigarettes and beer
They don't call me cool for nothing
Too cool for school, nobody's fool
Screw all the rules my mind's abused
Not quite amused I'm just confused, yeah
Comes so easily
When everything you want is suspect
Attracted to the cool magnet
Only adding to the confusion
Dillusions are like illusions
I haven't got the heart to tell them all apart
I think I might need a transfusion
Too cool for that a cataract, a triple sec
Don't get upset we're to exact
Forget the facts, yeah
Comes so easily
When everything you want is suspect
I don't know where I went
My brain is up for rent
I feel like my whole life is spent
I don't know where I went
What do you do when it's already everywhere?
What do you do when nobody really cares?
What do you do while its cool to fuck with you?
What do you do?
When you believe what they say about you
And even the things you know are not true
And you can't even ask yourself
I don't know where I'm at
I think I killed my cat
I get these paranoid attacks
I don't know where I'm at
What do you do when opinions are everywhere?
What do you do when its nothing you want to hear?
What do you do when you can't think of what to do?
What do you do?
When you believe what they say about you
And even the things you know are not true
And you can't even ask yourself
Gotta move on
What do you do when you don't know what to do? (gotta move on)

Tunnel vision is slowly setting in
Blocking out what should be letting in, letting in
11 years of seeing through alcoholic eyes
Nothing here at all but lows disguised as highs
Days, I don't remember now, fitting in and blacking out
Falling up and spiraling down and down and then
It's down again and up again
I've mellowed but it's taken so much time
Never needed to think that I was thin
Anyway, would I wish it on you now? I'm so fucked up
Lay down pacified and completely compromised
Nothing left inside but memories of lies
Days, I don't remember now of fitting in and falling out
Falling up and spiraling down and down and then
It's down again but up again
I'm sorry but it doesn't matter now
11 years of seeing through alcoholic eyes
Nothing here at all but lows disguised as highs
Days, I don't remember now, fitting in and blacking out
Falling up and spiraling down and down and then
It's down again but up again
I've mellowed but it's taken so much time
So much time, so much time, so much time
So much time, so much time, so much time
Drawing a collective breath
I could cry myself to death
And wash this all away
In a flash, you were gone

But that's okay
But that's okay.

All nerve ends are dead
Tinnitus ringin' in my head

Drown in my tears

Three, four half-life, welcome the worst
Born to your station and your station's a curse
Daddy says, "Wait and see"
Ain't seen the sun since 1973
Half-life, fake your claim
Falling asleep and waking up is the same
Half alive and half dead too
Work is for suckers and the sucker is you
You know the lies they tell are told until they're true
You know they hardly ever, you know they hardly ever
(Yeah, I'm falling fast, I'm not gonna last)
Ya want it, they got it, it's your circumstance
You know the hardly ever give a leaper a chance
Half-life, half-life, half-life or nothing at all
Half-life and all fucked up
You're born with nothing better make it enough
Pat in the back kick in the teeth
Alcohol will be your only relief
You know the lies they tell are told until they're true
You know they hardly ever, you know they hardly ever
(Yeah, I'm falling fast, I'm not gonna last)
Ya want it, they got it, it's your circumstance
You know the hardly ever give a leaper a chance
Half-life, half-life, half-life or nothing at all
You know the lies they tell are told until they're true
You know they hardly ever, you know they hardly ever
(Yeah, I'm falling fast, I'm not gonna last)
Ya want it, they got it, it's your circumstance
You know the hardly ever give a leaper a chance
Half-life, half-life, half-life or nothing at all
You know the lies they tell are told until they're true
You know they hardly ever, you know they hardly ever
(Yeah, I'm falling fast, I'm not gonna last)
Ya want it, they got it, it's your circumstance
You know the hardly ever give a leaper a chance
Half-life, half-life, half-life or nothing at all
Another scene is dead
You can fall in line
With the cooler heads
I said hey
Let's put this one to bed
You can do with a change and a lay
And the cooler heads
You are so in, you are so out
You will know when, you were shown how
You are so in with the out crowd
And the cooler heads
I'm thinking of your skin, motor of your mouth
Turn in all your friends, turn your mother out
You are so in with the out crowd
And the cooler heads, yeah
Well, look who's back in town
We won't say that you failed
The cooler heads prevail
You can fall in, with the fall outs
Go ahead and grin, there ain't much to laugh about
You can blend in with a crowd of clowns
And the cooler heads, yeah
You are so in, you are so out
You will know when, you were shown how
You are so in with the out crowd
And the cooler heads
Thinking of your skin, motor of your mouth
Turn in all your friends, turn your mother out
You are so in with the out crowd
And the cooler heads, yeah
The heads, the heads
The dirty fucking heads, ah
You are so in, you are so out
You will know when, you were shown how
You are so in with the out crowd
And the cooler heads
You are so in with the out crowd
And the cooler heads
You are so in with the out crowd
And the cooler heads
With the cooler heads
With the cooler heads
With the cooler heads
With the cooler heads
The heads
You feel desensitized
You feel numb
You wanna word it right
But you're dumb
You're still shakin' it
And not as young
You know you're blowin' it
So hold your tongue
Livin' on foolish notions
Livin' on aches and pains
You're pullin' up stakes and leavin'
You're lookin' for somebody to blame
There's been an accident
But no one knows
Get off the little man
Holes in your nose
You're still shakin' it
The bars are closed
You know, you're blowin' it
That's how it goes
Livin' on foolish notions
Livin' on aches and pains
You're pullin' up stakes and leavin'
You're lookin' for somebody to blame
Livin' on foolish notions
Livin' on aches and pains
Lookin' for a place to do it
Send a message to the brain
And I don't want what we've been given
Easy sex and easy livin'
See what's next and see who's taken
Don't wanna check to see who's fakin'
You feel desensitized
You feel desensitized
You feel desensitized
You feel desensitized
Livin' on foolish notions
Livin' on aches and pains
You're pullin' up stakes and leavin'
You're lookin' for somebody to blame
Livin' on foolish notions
Livin' on aches and pains
Lookin' for a place to do it
Send a message to the brain
And we don't want what we've been given
A foolish notion
A foolish notion
You're sidetracked with nothing to show
You're friends with people that you don't even know
You're stuck in places that you would never go
If you could choose
You're on a level that you've never sunk to
You're in a middle that there's no getting through
You're over and you'll be thirty-two
You were born to lose
It's chemical
Logical
Left foot, right foot
You got it
Walk away and fast
Turn around and leave them behind
You're on your fifth drink with no buzz in sight
And that asshole hasn't shut up all night
You wanna tell yourself that you'll be alright
Quarters on the eyes
Rejected Sacrifice
Cauterized at best
Failing your litmus test
I know it's dumb to say
But turnabout's fair play
Always knew that you
Were suffering a fool
You go ahead, as good as dead
Okay...I understand
But I don't want to be your friend
I don't need another friend
I've got too many friends
If I was Eddie Vedder
Would you like me any better?
That's it! I quit! I don't give a shit!
You go ahead, as good as dead
Coming to a head
And it's me, the man with no personality
Burning down your Christmas tree
Blowing up bombs in the shopping maul
Mistletoe is going to fall
Taking shots with the caroling crowd
Stupid song sung way too loud
And they're getting dumber all the time
I really don't see why she'd spare your friends
since I can't say that I care
if I ever see them again
You say shopping spree
I say killing spree
And I can think of Christmas past
Like the Christmas before last
Cousins, uncles, aunts
And how can I forgot or care
that all I get is Underwear
I'd like to beat you on the head
with that old Yule log
Giving an ungrateful gift gives you a glow
Something to burn away the freezing snow
If you just let me
and I'll be glad to tear your Frosty down
I think Christmas really sucks
I think Christmas really sucks
I really don't see why she'd spare your friends
cause I can't say that I care
if I ever see them again
You'll be sorry
Can you feel me now?
Baby, can?t you see, I?m callin'
A guy like you should wear a warnin'
It?s dangerous, I?m fallin?
There?s no escape, I can?t wait
I need a hit, baby, give me it
You?re dangerous, I?m lovin? it
Too high, can?t come down
Losin' my head, spinnin' ?round and ?round
Do you feel me now?
With a taste of your lips, I?m on a ride
You?re toxic, I?m slipping under
With a taste of poison paradise
I?m addicted to you, don?t you know that you?re toxic?
And I love what you do, don?t you know that you?re toxic?
It?s getting late to give you up
I took a sip from my devil's cup
Slowly, it?s taking over me
Too high, can?t come down
It?s in the air and it?s all around
Can you feel me now?
With a taste of your lips, I?m on a ride
You?re toxic, I?m slipping under
With a taste of poison paradise
I?m addicted to you, don?t you know that you?re toxic?
And I love what you do, don?t you know that you?re toxic?
Don't you know that you're toxic?
Intoxicate me now, with your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now
Intoxicate me now, with your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now
With a taste of your lips, I'm on a ride
You're toxic, I'm slipping under
With a taste of poison paradise
I'm addicted to you, don't you know that you're toxic?
And I
can act like I don't see
Just who I want to be
But only for so long
And you
You can guess that I would know
Just where I wanna go
But I guess that you'd be wrong...
Why kill myself
To find out who I am?
When I really only want to be you...
Don't really see the harm
In lending me your charm
And it seemed to make you smile
But I could see how I could lose
Without the things you do
Not even for a while
Why kill myself
To find out who I am?
When I really only want to be you...
Why kill myself
To find out who I am?
Fucked up - drunk and stoned
Every choice has a no
Speech slurred - I called you again
You're not even my friend
I did it again
Choked up, I gotta go
Every choice has a no
I'm broke, I don't belong
They're raping my favorite song
And every time I wake up I feel sad
I dream about the things I used to have
And how did I get into this?
I'm tied to it
Teased up, high hair disgust
No sex, a natural distrust
I don't care, you can't get through
I dig hating you
I did it againDrink it up.. pissed off
I'm a hack, you're a smoker's cough
I'd like to fuck, but you're too dumb
Gee, it's great being single and young
And every time I try to talk to youI know there's something else you'd rather
And how did I get into this?
I'm tied to it
And every time I wake up bruised
I know that my brain's not in use
And every time when things are great
I don't know why I detonate
I'm tied to it
I did it again
And every time I wake up bruised
I know that my brain's not in use
And every time when things are great
I don't know why I detonate
In the summer that you came
there was something eating everyone
and the sunshine fun was low
we could elude you with a simple hello
and the watchers of the flood
were busy in the chambers
Making sure their was new blood
to sustain their dieing vain
But I believe you
no need for further questioning
I'm going to leave with you
you can teach me all you know
Which way do we go now
I've dreamept of where all the wind goes
I really don't know now
I really don't know
In the winter that you left
there was business as usual
with the same old tears and frustration
The word got out
it's really such a pity
the judges and the saints and the text book committee
decided you should be left out
not even mentioned
But I believe you
no need for further questioning
I'm going to leave with you
you can teach me all you know
Which way do we go now
I've dreamept of where all the wind goes
I really don't know now
I think of P.J. Soles
And wonder where you are
I'll never see you anymore
Where do you think they go?
All the fallen stars
Heaven doesn't know you like I do
See you bleed through
The gauzy haze I sink into
I think of you like P.J. Soles
I was your biggest fan
You seemed to understand
They'll never see you like I do
I guess it's like they said
That it was all just built up in my head
But you're still so real to me
I'm fine this time
To me it makes no never mind
But you know I keep you close
Yearbook it took
Just one thousand tear stained looks
I think of you like P.J. Soles
And if I do think of you
It's only in the darkest place inside of me
You should know
I think of you like P.J. Soles, P.J. Soles
I'm fine this time
To me it makes no never mind
Yearbook it took
Just one thousand tear stained looks
See you bleed through
The gauzy haze I sink into
Phone call, fuck all
You're just one part of my free fall
This part of me will never close
And if I do think of you
It's only in the darkest place inside of me
You should know
I think of you like P.J. Soles
P.J. Soles, P.J. Soles
Writing what you say and saying it all back to you
Mayonnaise and malaise to go
The catcher in the rye caught a catch 22
Keep it at a pace... My life is like a crawl to me
Catatonic face... I'm marking time randomly
Mayonnaise and Malaise to go
Dull and null and void and all my best instincts stink
They pay me by the hour and I don't even have to think
Charismatic bore and I don't wanna work no more
I'm gonna kill the next customer who walks in the door
Mayonnaise and malaise to go
It's really something to be twenty-nothing
I feel my place is so secure
A culture spot that I have got
So glad to be unsure
We've passed our prime in record time
I never thought we'd fall so low
We've come this far to sell your cars
I want all my unease to go
It's really something, to be twenty-nothing
I feel my place is so secure
A culture spot that I have got
So glad to be unsure
I've come to resent what I represent
I'd like to smack that smile off your face
But for my angst I must say thanks
So good to be put in my place
Mayonnaise and malaise to go
I never fail to catch the small details
Bigger things just seem to trigger things
You only know because I told you so and yeah
I guess that's fine, it's only me, now who else would it be?
With you, such a lucky time
With everything to prove
To you, it's such a lucky time
With everything to prove
I'll never be just who I want to be
I've bought into the things I'd never do
I know you know but you never tell me so
And I cannot repay, let me try to make it up to you
And soon, it's such a lucky time
With everything to prove
To you, it's such a lucky time
With everything to prove
I never fail to catch the small details
I'm catching on that nothing will last that long
You can't be shamed if you've never played their games
Around the room to play, it's only you with nothing left to prove
But I don't want to lose this lucky time
With everything to prove
To you, it's such a lucky time
With everything to prove
To you, it's such a lucky time
With everything to prove
To you, it's such a lucky time
With everything to prove
It's such a lucky time
With everything to prove
It's such a lucky time
Don't you hate it when people are in love? - they're so -

Things are good, nothing much for me to say
I'm feeling happier, everyday
Things are good, I've got a simple mind

You pin me down, you box my ears
I'll get you back... Motherfuck, I'm no baby
I've made a meal... the first course is crow
Choke it down, cause you suck, I'm no baby
You never said smart was your strong trait
But smart never seemed to be a trait at all
And I never wanted to see you go down
But I must admit that I'd like to see you
Fall right back into your tar trap
And bend your back until it fucking snaps
And I never wanted to hurt you that bad
But I must admit that I'd like to see you fall
You pin me down, you box my ears
I'll get you back... Motherfuck, I'm no baby
I've made a meal, the first course is crow
you heard that we were great
but now you think we're lame
since you saw the show last night
you hoped that we would rock
knock it up a notch
rockin was nowhere in sight
and its never good when it goes bad
no one likes to feel like they've been had
and it may be ok
but you won't wear our t-shirts now
anymore
first the band looked wired
then the band looked tired
sluggish and a little slow
he's walking through the set
as drunk as he could get
and what the hell was wrong with joe?
and you could tell the crowd was fading fast
every song we played looser than the last
and it may be ok
but you won't wear our t-shirts now
all the kids, they hold a grudge
their minds are logged onto the net
and all the kids, they hold a grudge
you've failed them and they won't forget it
all the kids are tired and turn away
its alright to admit
you're all wrong and all the kids are right
you heard that we were great
but now you know we're lame
since you saw the show last night
you hoped that we would rock
you wished that we'd just stop
and finally we said "good night"
when we had returned for the encore
you and half the room had headed for the door
no one wanted more
all the kids, they hold a grudge
their minds are logged onto the net
and all the kids, they hold a grudge
you've failed them and they won't forget it
all the kids, they're tired and turn away
all the kids, they hold a grudge
their minds are logged onto the net
and all the kids, they hold a grudge
you've failed them and they won't forget it
all your crud won't save you from the kids
its alright to admit
you're all wrong and all the kids are right

It's terrible love and I'm walking with spiders
It's terrible love and I'm walking in
It's terrible love and I'm walking with spiders
It's terrible love and I'm walking in
It's quiet company (x2 | x3)
And I can't fall asleep
Without a little help
It takes awhile to settle down
My shiver bones
Wait till the past leaks out
It takes an ocean not to break (x4)
It's company
It's quiet company (x2)
And I won't follow you
Into the rabbit hole
I said I would but then I saw
Your shiver bones
They didn't want me to
(x2)
It's terrible love and I'm walking with spiders
It's terrible love and I'm walking in
It takes an ocean not to break (x3)
It takes an ocean not to
Not to
Not to break
Oh (x2)
Not to break (x2)
Break
Not to
Come on (x2)
You're digging out your car again
The chair left in the yard
Has another life again
Another February comes and goes
Another February, snows and snows
Go on (x2)
Your February comes again
The circle comes around
The bartenders are down
February comes again
Another February, spare a dime
Another February slightly worse than January
Oh God, I lost the thread
That goddamn battery's dead
I can't kick the cough
The heat's been turned off
The family unit tightens
You bounce another check
The dog's a nervous wreck
And I smell like a brewery
A measure of my misery
Another February, scratch
Scratch for food, for food
Another February slightly worse than January
Luck, a little bit of love and (x16)
Another February
Belts are tightened, daddy's frightened
Another February so much worse than January
Luck, a little bit of love and (x7)
Luck, a little bit of love and luck
Look who's walking on four legs again
I'm the kind of man only a dog could love
Times are tough but, man, this time it's tougher
We'll all see who we are when push comes to shove
And, baby, these feet were made for walking
But I can't walk in boots of broken glass
And, baby, these times weren't made for talking
So I won't answer questions that you don't ask
Look who's walking on four legs again
It's hard to stand when you've gone from scraps to crumbs
Times are rough but, man, this time you'll suffer
Well, I say, hallelujah! I'm a bum
And darling, these knees were made for crawling
And snakes will talk to men straight eye to eye
And darling, these times weren't made for stalling
But red-faced and rushing ain't really what I had in mind
Look who's walking on four legs again
I'm the kind of man only a dog could love
Times are tough but, man, this steak is tougher
We'll all see who we are when push comes to shove
Look who's walking on four legs again
It's hard to stand when you've gone from scraps to crumbs
Times are rough but, man, this time you'll suffer
Well, I say, hallelujah! I'm a bum
We'll all sing, hallelujah! We're all bums
The charts and graphs.
All your epitaphs.
The blinding flash.
The market crash.
Your throbbing aches.
Your sobbing shakes.
Your swamp of snakes.
Your flags are waved.
But nobody's saved.
The spiraling rate.
The sovereign state.
Our Superman.
He says that "yes, we can."
But we're grains of sand.
We get set free in waves again.
We're saved again.
But no one wises up.
So no one will rise up.
We get set free in waves again.
Jesus saves again (again).
We get set free in waves.
We're waves again.
We're waves again.
We're waves again.
Maybe you and me and our sad history are gonna go and get the best of us in the end.
And maybe 'wait and see' is the right way to be.
To see if all this evil is just another fucking trend?
Hey, hello - where'd you go?
You disappear from time to time and I've been known to change my mind.
Hey, hello - where'd you go?
You take her up and fly her blind and God knows I can't change your mind.
Maybe I should see that you'll never show me mercy - and I should just cut the rope and let my body down.
Hey, hello - where'd you go?
You disappear from time to time and I've been known to change my mind.
Hey, hello - where'd you go?
We'll take her up and fly her blind and fall asleep to the engine whine.
Hey, hello - where'd you go?
I can't seem to walk away.
The debt grows deeper every day.
Maybe you and me and our sad history could mean nothing.
Or we could be something.
We could be something that's worth every penny that we ate.
Every little penny that's dragging us to the bottom of the sea.
Maybe you and me are over now forever.
But maybe I just need you too much for that to ever be.
Hey, hello - where'd you go?
You disappear from time to time and I've been known to change my mind.
Hey, hello - where'd you go?
We'll take her up and fly her blind and fall asleep to the engine whine.
Attention!
Attention!
Attention!
Attention!
I know you're tired.
I know you're scared.
I know all this is getting old.
Attention!
Attention!
Attention!
Attention!
Drawing a collective breath
I could cry myself to death
And wash this all away
In a flash, you were gone
Leaving me a couple of songs
That I listen to everyday
And I don't even care
That you were so unfair
I worshiped one time at your feet
Save up our tears
Catalogue all our fears
Give into the stretching years
Your words hit me just last night
When I saw it with the after sight
What was on your mind
It's too late to ever change
Things got a little bit strange
You were too far behind
And the reasons I have to live
Are the reasons that you would give
To throw it all away
Save an' freeze up our tears
Catalogue all our fears
Give into the stretching years
But that's okay
But that's okay.
An' I don't even care
That you were so unfair
I worshiped one time at your feet
Never heard what was said
All nerve ends are dead
Tinnitus ringin' in my head
Save an' freeze up our tears
Catalogue all our fears
Give into the stretching years
Drown in my tears
Succumb to my fears
Give into the stretching years
But that's okay
But that's okay
But that's okay.
I'm not okay.
But that's okay
I'm not okay
But that's okay
I'm Framed in love again
peekin at the end
baby wants to tame me
So afraid to live her life alone
She'd make a happy home
but only if she tames me
I'm driving her away
black and white to gray
back and forth i'll sway
I'm driving her away
nothing good can stay
black and white to gray
back and forth I sway
I guess I'll never be what she sees in me
Baby wants to tame me
blame
she knows somethings wrong
she's seen it all along
but she don't wanna blame me
so afraid to live her life alone
she'd make a happy home
baby wants to tame me
driving her away
black and white to gray
back and forth i'll sway
i'lm driving her away
nothing good can stay
black and white to gray
back and forth I sway
I'm driving her away away away
nothing good can stay
black and white to gray
back and forth I sway
I guess i'll never be what you'll see in me
My pockets are out
You've got me upside-down
I've gone 5th Ave. Crazy
Flat on my face
I feel your hands on my waist
I've gone 5th Ave. Crazy
This is what I want, I guess
Agin' fast and out of gas
Fissures are cracked
But there's no goin' back
Cuz we're buttfuckin' crazy with 5th Ave. Crazy
Oh my God, I love it so
And that's all you need to know
Give me money, give me blow
Don't slow down cuz red means go
Oh my God, I love it so
And that's all you need to know
Give me money, give me blow
Don't slow down cuz red means go
Red means go
Again, it's really pathological the paths you take
But you can't change, and you know you should
I've gotta air out
I've gotta dry out
But the deal was to go and go until we're dead
We're dead
Oh my God, I love it so
And that's all you need to know
Give me money, give me blow
Don't slow down cuz red means go
Oh my God, I love it so
And that's all you need to know
Give me money, give me blow
Don't slow down cuz red means go
Red means go (x3)
5th Ave. Crazy (x4)
Oh my God, I love it so
And that's all you need to know

Hands on the Bible
scared like a child
God holds you liable
for what you've done
homicidal
stared down your idols
a pretty baby
never born
you cant believe it
you didnt mean it
but they saw you do it
and they know your name
rats in the attic
toys in the cellar
she's an addict
he wants to learn
hands on the bible
egomaniacal
as you screw yourself into oblivion
worn and faded
stoned and jaded
you'll have to face it
on your own
smashed on the pavement
stunned in amazement
everything you make comes crawling back to you
you can't believe it
you didn't mean it
but they saw you do it
and they know your name
so hands on the bible
scared like a child
God holds you liable
for what you've done
homicidal
stared down your idols
a pretty baby never to be born

for the REPENT at your side
hands on the bible

"???"
Uh (x8)
And the meek shall inherit the Earth
We've taken care of everything
The words you hear, the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes
It's one for all, all for one
We work together, common sons
Never need to wonder how or why
We are the priests of the temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hollowed halls
We are the priests of the temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life held within our walls, hey
Look around this world we made
Equality our stock in trade
Come and join the brotherhood of men
What a wide contented world
Let the banners be unfurled
Hold the red star proudly high in hand
We are the priests of the temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill these hollowed halls
We are the priests of the temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life held within our walls, hey
I ain't of the mind that Paddy Considine is one to take guff from no
Conspiracy of toughs.
In my mind I talk to Paddy Considine and it always goes something like
This:
The kids in my hood! They're up to no good!
Tell me, Paddy, what to do in an age of no pity?
From that young Irish face to that dude who plays bass
They're bringing baseball bats down to stroller city.
I ain't of the mind that Paddy Considine is one to take guff from no
Conspiracy of toughs.
The bums and punks and drunks sift through my junk!?
I hear stories about last night's meat train.
I never thought I'd see the day when the white man has no say.
Tell me, Paddy, how do we get our country out of the crapper?
That fat, pink fuck is crying on tv again!
He's got the persecution complex of a coked up rapper.
I ain't of the mind.
I ain't of the mind.
I ain't of the mind.
I ain't of the mind.
Well, it's a hot summer!
Someone could get hurt!
And it's a hot, hot, summer!
People get hurt.
I'll take you out first!
There's blood for your thirst!
And, Paddy, it's all just a matter of time before you get your ass kicked
When you're walking a straight line from the bar to your goddamn house.
But living's just not worth it when you live like a mouse.
Am I right, Paddy?
I ain't of the mind that Paddy Considine is one to take guff from no
Conspiracy of toughs.
