There's been borders and there'll be boundaries
and there's been times misidirection's found me There's been clear heads and there'll be clean slates and times we'd find we'd pass the night away thinking Everyone here hates everyone here for doing the same thing that they do There's been new starts and they'll be no sleep and there's been times when inspiration's found me and there's been walls built and there's been worse days and times we'd find we spent the night awake thinking all those people they keep watching me all those people that hate me all those people they watch me all those people are just like me |

Ideals are like opinions and beliefs just like tradition
Sometimes both are not enough Faded stickers and crumpled flyers They've become the reminder that there's an anthem in us that fits the flag we've flown for years I've always had this same old song Stuck in my head for so damn long A soundtrack to whether I'm right or wrong Ideals are like opinions beliefs just like tradition Sometimes both are not enough faded pictures and yellowed flyers and memories so far behind us there's an anthem in us that fits the flag we've flown for years Ideals and its actions Beliefs and convictions Faith and tradition The flags we've flown for years |

So let's hit the streets tonight
And I'll show you where I lost my job and where I got chased by cops so we'll jump the fence at 13th and 10th to see where we played our first show I told you everybody loses sight of All the how it's been and never was So let's hit the streets tonight And I'll show you where I drank on the job and hung out In that parking lot left at the light there's park 16th on the right and that's the place that we called home That place you'll never get a chance to know and all the people through the years you could've known it makes me wonder what your seeing is almost "home" |

And I swear it's the last time,
And I swear it's my last try. And we'll walk in circles around this whole block, Walk on the cracks on the same old sidewalks. And we'll talk about leaving town, Yeah we'll talk about leaving. I swear it's the last time, And I swear it's my last try... We rode across that bridge all night, we talked our way through city lights. Traced all the lines, We're killing time, Under those buzzing signs. From downtown to anywhere but here, Tonight, yeah, I swear, To these rooftops, And just hoped that car would never stop. And I swear, it's the last time, And I swear it's my last try. And we'll walk in circles around this whole block, Walk on the cracks on the same old sidewalks. And we'll talk about leaving town, And we'll talk about leaving. I swear it's the last time, And I swear it's my last try. We drove around this place all night, Past closed signs and familiar sights. We're moving by, passing time, Counting those center lines. With 20,000 lines left to go, What lead to somewhere, I don't know, It might be the time, that we, leave this all behind. And I swear, it's the last time, And I swear it's my last try. And we'll walk in circles around this whole block, Walk on the cracks on the same old sidewalks. And we'll talk about leaving town, And we'll talk about leaving. I swear it's the last time, And I swear it's my last try. And there's been a few times, That we thought it felt right, To take the westbound signs, And just leave town tonight. And I swear, itc12 |

"Gainesville Rock City"
This map hung up on the truck stop hallway door is looking worn and I can hardly read it anymore I feel like I'm a speck thrown on the map and I can't help my urge to laugh I never used to feel like that Well I'm half awake half a world away all my past mistakes and every wasted day I wouldn't have it any other way I'll try through my haze and half shut eyes to count up all the reasons why I should be back at home tonight Half awake half a world away all my past mistakes and every wasted day proves that I'll never change I'll always stay the same I wouldn't have it any other way |

"Malt Liquor Tastes Better When You've Got Problems"
And I've been so busy trying that I've only wound up living weekend to weekend getting by just simply "trying" And I should be out looking for a job but only wind up heading for a stiff drink left with nothing else so I think "it's time to stumble home" So I say Hello to wasted hours and I say bottoms up to better days I've been so busy dying that I've always wound up living paycheck to paycheck scraping by but hardly trying what will it take to get me out of bed when half the check goes to rent the other half goes to debt I should be out looking for another job Instead I stumble home Another day not trying there's no one left to blame it's just the routine and the repetition I've spun out of control |

Well the scene here he wants her back he's trying to use the phone she's hanging up he's given up he should've known looking lost then he wanders off and tries to sing along to some song he's never heard but just keeps mouthing all the words It gets worse before it's all over I know I'll get through this somehow and nothing's gonna change her mind for now Well the scene here he's still alone another band goes on in this crowded basement with too much smal talk and lame inside jokes feeling useless out of excuses he should've known to let it go she said "it's done" second chances seem to never come After all the bad endings and misunderstandings and all of the late night last hopes and lost time and all that she left for me wasonly a memory all I can say is she don't understand me |

"Pete Jackson Is Getting Married"
I can see it all right now his mom and dad so proud of his son and his new found wife and I wonder if after all these years will his dad still give him a pep talk for his wedding night? I can smell his cousin's polo mixing with his grandpa's old spice and the Swedish meatballs look so tempting that his two fat aunts might even fight and his uncles have all gone drinkin' highballs and hamms light in the parking lot while the rest of his relatives are busy just tearing up the Manville Elks Lodge I can smell his cousin's polo mixing with his grandpa's old spice and the mashed potatoes look so tasty that his two fat aunts might even fight on that day what else could I say? I'd say here's to you staying drunk here's to all your good luck you're gonna need it |

"Last Hour Of The Last Day Of Work"
I couldn't help but think back to the advice that I got from my dad a few times he said"...time goes by so fast in a blink of an eye so never close your eyes..." "...I always wanted something more than 50 hours every week and a paid vacation on the jersey shoreline" And he said So when ambition turns into competition I'll never be the better man I can't help but think back to the time he said "life goes right by" And told me never think twice "you can't second guess how to live your life" All these years have been way too short to be spent on some factory floor like me I never went back again I never looked back again And he said So when ambition turns into competition I'll never be the better man It's the last hour of the last day don't fall so far behind now you'll be another nameless face he said |

"Bigger Picture"
Breaking down from every insult that you've taken from one sided conversations Burning out from all the minor misconceptions that just play on your frustrations your self doubt has your head so turned around there's not a catch phrase that can save you and it's not that hard to figure out disappointment doesn't have to cut to a commercial now I'm breaking down I'm burning out and it's not funny like on television when your self doubt turns you inside out it's still not funny like on television I'm passing time since I've been right and it's not funny like on television those times I've cracked with no laugh track and it wasn't funny like on television |

"Faction"
And I I wonder if you'd understand if I said I'll never go never go along again And if I told you all that I believe in and gave you my reasons and always had an answer an honest answer for all of them sometimes you just want to belong at any loss or any cost yeah I've I've made mistakes before but I just can't seem to remember them anymore and I've followed everyone's lead before and I've made my own decisions and I've never felt so strong before I've never felt so strong before sometimes you just want to belong at any loss or any cost sometimes your best defense is a good reminder of your common sense strike a match and hope it lasts here's to following your own lead it's the path that I have taken after all the contemplation it's the promise I have made I hope it lasts |
