She has a girlfriend now
She has a girlfriend now
She has a girlfriend now she said
"guys don't do no more for me"
"you never loved me like I wanted you to"
"I loved you baby what do you want me to do?"

She said she found someone who's gonna hold her hand
She said she found someone who's gonna understand
She don't need nobody to be her man
She don't need nobody to be her man

I never thought it would end like this
Just because I've got no tits
I'll shave my legs, I'll wear a bra
I'll even cut my penis off for you
She has a girlfriend now.

I just couldn't believe it,
When I turned on
The radio, try to run, try to
Hide, try to keep it inside,
They were playin' that song
And I thought about her
Snoop doggy dog, snoop doggy dog
So much trouble in the LBC
Livin' without her's gonna drive me
Crazy, she's so

Don't you just wanna kill me, cause you're talkin'
Behind my back, well I love the band. they're a
Great bunch of guys, but lookin' at her brings
Tears to my eyes, I'm watchin' her shake
She gonna give a heart attack now, baby
Snoop doggy dog, snoop doggy dog
Maybe I don't want her back, you know?
Maybe I just can't let her go, I'm so

Well I, turn the radio off,
I don't want no part, try to make me a big star?
I don't wanna be a big star.

Everybody's mad they wanna kick me in the head
Was it somethin' I did, was it somethin' I said?
I would try to tell you but I just don't
Wanna lie
It really shouldn't matter but it
Makes me wanna
Cry, I wish I didn't care, I
Wish I didn't care

But I do. snoop doggy dog
(she said) snoop doggy dog
Please don't tell me it'll be
OK cause I know
I'll never never never get my
Way
And so.

She called me late last night to say she loved me so
It didn't matter anymore but I say she never cared
And that she never will I'd do it all again
I guess I'll have to wait until then
If I get drunk well I'll pass out
On the floor now baby
You won't bother me no more
If you're drinkin' well you know
That you're my friend and I say
I think I'll have myself a beer.

She called me late last night to say she loved me,
So..? but I guess he changed her mind.
Well I should have known it wouldn't be
All right, but I can't live without her
So I won't even try

Maybe some day, I'll think of what to say.
Maybe next time I'll remember what to do,
She looks like heaven, maybe this is hell,
Said she'd do it all again, she'd promise not to tell!

If I get drunk well, I'll pass out
On the floor now baby
You won't bother me no more
(and she said)

It's OK boy cause you know
We'll be good friends
And I say, I think I'll have myself a beer.

but i don't believe her
and i don't think
i need her anymore...

i know everything sucks
and this won't be the last
time you hear me complain.

Why can't she make up her fuckin' mind
I'm just sittin' here wastin' so much time
I know it's my fault but it's not my problem anymore,
Some day maybe she'll come back to me and
I'll say "why don't you go fuck yourself!"
But everybody's talkin' they know that I'm lyin'
She gave me everything, all I want is more

I wrote this song for her. but it won't
Make up for anything. I know it's too late
So why do I wait? it's not my problem
Anymore

Some day, maybe she'll come back to me and
I'll say, "why don't you go fuck yourself!?"
But everybody's talkin', they know that I'm lyin'
She won't do anything and I'll always wait for her

Some day, maybe she'll come back to me and
I'll say, "why don't you go fuck yourself!?"
Everybody's talkin', they know that I'm lyin'
She gave me everything
But all I want is more
All I want is more
All I want is more

Every time I try so hard I get nothin' (nothin')
They say try and you won't fail I get nothin' (nothin')
I did all that I could I got nothin' (nothin')
I tried so hard for nothin' (nothin')
I never wanted it that way guess there was nothin' I could say
I don't know what I want
But I know I don't want this
I give up I give in I know I'm never gonna win

I know it's really not your fault
I'm gonna blame you anyway
You say you're sorry but I know it won't do no good
I give up, I give in, I know I'm never gonna win.

I don't fuckin' care, I don't fuckin' care
I don't fuckin' care anymore
It's gonna be all right
Cause I don't fuckin' care anymore.

eatin' sausage,
and she won't eat eggs,

sorry
for this poor little lettuce head
you know, i can't stop cryin' cause i
know this broccoli's dead

vegetarian? i'm not a vegetarian,
vegetarian...she's a

poor little cow, little sheep,
little fish
how can I sleep? when carrots
are bleedin'
plants are screamin' and tomatoes cry,
you say "it's not so bad, they're only
vegetables", that's what you said
maybe i'm a murderer, but i'm hungry
and they're better off dead.

save a plant, eat a cow,
i want beef, i want it now!
i'm gonna eat it cause it's red!
i'm gonna eat it cause it's dead!
maybe i should eat it raw let the
blood run down my jaw
i'd eat people if it was legal,
i'd eat people if it was legal!

Everybody's lookin' at me
Thought I saw my face on MTV
Or a magazine that she won't read, stole
Her heart but it's not my fault, lookin' at
My picture she forgot about her boyfriend, yea
I'll never be, a rock and roll star
I'll never be, anything, anything at all
Drives me crazy, can't get away
Somebody tell me, when do we get paid?

Everybody's lookin' at me
Thought by now I'd be on MTV
Or a magazine like seventeen or rolling stone
And I won't be alone with your
Money in my pocket and face on your T-shirt yeah

I'll never be, a rock and roll star
I'll never be, anything, anything at all
Drives me crazy, can't get away
But I try and I try and I try and I try
Every day
Every day
Said I'll never be, a rock and roll star
I'll never be, anything, anything at all

Well, I see you up on stage and
I don't know just
What you're sayin', but you're my hero,
And a guy just kicked me in the head,
A little girl
Just passed out dead, I'm in between a big jock
And a sweaty skinhead but I love you
Whatever that means, but I don't wanna talk
To you, cause I know I'd just say some thing
Stupid and I know you've got better things to do.

Hey, little alternative girl
Don't you wanna be my friend?
You know I'm singin' all my songs to you
It's all right if you don't understand.

Maybe I shouldn't be so serious, tellin' you that
Everything sucks cause I don't wanna bring
You down
But it never ever works out right, I'm gonna lose,
Give up the fight, I won't get what I want
Won't get anything but I love you...whatever
That means.
And they don't wanna talk to me cause they know
What I'll turn out to be, I said I was cool
But I can't lie to you (but I do)

Hey, little alternative girl
Don't you wanna be my friend?
You know I'm singin' all my songs to you
It's all right if you don't understand.

And I don't wanna start again cause I know
It'll be the same in the end
I didn't like it the first time anyway.

I never felt too good but in this world who would
I was always thinkin?somethin?wasn't right
But then you came along and helped me sing a song and
now I feel ok I hope it can stay- this way
You know we've got a good thing goin' and I don't wanna see it end
You know we've got a good thing goin' and I don't wanna see it end
Are these the good days that I've heard so much about-
there goes the heartbreak that I can live without
I've been so frustrated, bitter, mean, and jaded
I've taken for granted all the things I've got
But now that you are here this anger disappears
and I feel happy too this is sappy but it's true
You know we've got a good thing goin' and I don't wanna see it end
You know we've got a good thing goin' and I don't wanna see it end
Are these the good days that I've heard so much about there goes the heartbreak
that I can live without

All of my friends- they’re not my friends
A knife in the back, felt it again.
What did I do? Was it so wrong?
I used to fit in, now I don’t belong

I think somebody loved me once,
I think somebody loved me once
I think somebody loved me once
but I cannot remember why
...

My confidence is stuck in my throat
when you lay blame I’m your scapegoat
Ears burnin’ red, I heard what you said-
you smile at my face but you wish I was dead

I think somebody loved me once,
I think somebody loved me once
I think somebody loved me once
but I cannot remember why
...

I think somebody loved me once,
I think somebody loved me once
I think somebody loved me once
but I cannot remember..
I think somebody loved me once,
I think somebody loved me once
I think somebody loved me once
but I cannot remember why

Why!

You say you’re down,
You can’t loose that frown,
Life sucks!
What else is new?
That’s tough!
There’s not much you can do,
You’re not the only one,
Not havin’ any fun,

I’ve got a funny feelin’,
We’re all born to lose,
And I’ve got a funny feeling,
That this life ain’t worth livin’...through,

I’ve been depressed,
And I get so stressed,
Life sucks!
I don’t wonder why,
That’s tough!
I just keep on tryin’,
So I won’t be the one
Not havin’ any fun,

I’ve got a funny feelin’,
We’re all born to lose,
And I’ve got a funny feeling,
That this life ain’t worth livin’...through,

I’m not givin’ up yet,
That’s not the end of me,
But it’s not goin’ to be all right,
You’ll see, you’ll see!
...

I’ve got a funny feelin’,
We’re all born to lose,
And I’ve got a funny feeling,
That this life ain’t worth livin’,
I’ve got a funny feelin’,
We’re all born to lose,
And I've got a funny feeling
That this life ain’t worth livin’,
I’ve got a funny feelin',
[I’ve got a funny feelin’]
I’ve got a funny feelin’,
[I’ve got a funny feelin’]
I’ve got a funny feelin’,
[I’ve got a funny feelin’]
I’ve got a funny feelin’,
Cheer up.

If I had a dollar bill for every time I’ve been wrong I’d be a self-made millionaire and you’d still be gone So hand me down my best dress shoes and my best dress shirt Cause I’m going out in style to cover the hurt And all I wanna do all day is spend it in bed But that’s bad for the body and even worse for my head So I’ll try and find a place where no one will ask me a thing It’ll help to forget and help me to sing Cause now I’m drunk again The means to my end And I’m scared of myself Cause now it’s the same the faces and names And I’m scared of myself again Have you ever wanted to wake up from your dreaming Scared you so bad you couldn’t control your heart or your breathing Well walk out the door with me on the floor You don’t care how I’m feeling I guess a weak and tired and frightened man is no longer appealing Some people have a gift of reaching right into your soul and finding the whole and making it bigger Baby sometimes I think I catch ya crackin’ cynical smiles and in a short while you’ll be my heart’s grave digger Well there’s not much I can do Cause I’m at the mercy of you So baby I guess we’re through Cause now I’m drunk again The means to my end And I’m scared of myself Cause now it’s the same the faces and names And I’m scared of myself again Cause now it’s all the same the faces and the names So go walk out the door you don’t believe me no more And I’m scared of myself again If I had a dollar bill for every time I been wrong I’d be a self made millionaire and I wouldn’t be singing

I'll get along some how
I don't care anyway, I just wanted to say
Everything is cool
How are things with you
Everything is cool
I wish you were-
You say we'll be friends, that just means no sex
I don't care what you say
I'm tired of fuckin' you anyway
I guess it is my fault
But do you blame you at all
I'll have to let you go
I just want you to know that
Everything is cool
How are things with you
Everything is cool
I wish you were dead!
I wish you were dead!
I wish you were dead!

we like pizza but she doesn't eat the crust
i love her and she loves everyone
she said she likes my band but i don't even like my band
i love her and she loves everyone
i saw her kiss him last night, i'm sick now
(but it's just a little cold)
scott's a dork
when i say "i give up" it just means
i am going to try again she loves me
and i love everyone
i was kissin' her
but she was wishin' it wa
him she loves me and i love everyone
they told her, about you and me
she's mad now (but she'll
get over it)
scott's a dork
you'd think that after all this
time she'd change but,
she didn't

Now that I'm a big star, what am I gonna do?
I'm so bored counting all my money
I sit here and I think of you
It's so easy, it's so easey to do
I don't even have to try
I don't even want to try
Why should I waste my precious time?
I can't make you love me...but I know you will
I'm such an asshole, how could you resist?
I never meant to let it go to my head
I never thought it would come to this
It's me...the asshole of your dreams
I can't make you love me...but I know you do
I'm so cool, no one wants to talk to me
and I'm so cool, no one wants to look at me
I'm so fuckin' cool, nobody cares at all!
I'm a Big Fuckin' star oh yea yea yea!

Got some words, I don't know
Gonna sing'em here I go
Wanna try not to be lame
Wanna make you feel the same
I just wanna be someone
Don't you know we tried to do something new
It may sound real good, but I don't think we're getting through
Because the kids don't like it (no, no)
The kids don't like it (no, no, no)
The kids don't like it, no they don't like it at all
Had a hit, famous? no
Easy come, easy go
Should be happy with what I got
Should be happy but I'm not
I just wanna be someone
Don't you know we tried to do something new
It may sound real good, but I don't think we're getting through
Because the kids don't like it (no, no)
The kids don't like it (no, no, no)
The kids don't like it, no they don't like it at all
I thought there'd come a day
When I'd run out of things to say
But I know now it's true
No one listens anyway
And all we wanted was to do somethin' new
I doesn't sound so good and I don't think we're getting through
Because the kids don't like it (no, no)
The kids don't like it (no, no, no)
The kids don't like it, no they don't like it at all, anymore

You don't know me but here I am in your living room
You don't own me but you paid and that means a lot to you
You never listen, but I now that's what you think that you do
And everybody wants to change but this time it'll be the same
Watch us go down in flames
It's all right it's ok, it was gonna happen anyway
We had our chance, we made our point but you're not gonna take that?br> Radio, commercials, t.v. shows and front page ads,
Photos, and interviews they'll make sure it's the latest fad
Pay attention cuz you know you'll have to pay either way (either way)
And they tell you that it's the new thing, but we know that it lasn't changed
Watch us go down in flames
It's all right it's ok, it was gonna happen anyway
We had our chance, we made our point but you're not gonna take that?br> When this blows over and the mainstream coughs up another shell
Will you let us back in your underground
Well I guess that's a no and it's just as well cuz
You never supported us, all you wanted was to see us fail (see us fail)
And they tell me that's it's the new thing
So I better get out of the way
Watch us go down in flames
It's all right it's ok, it was gonna happen anyway
We had our chance, we made our point but you're not gonna take that?br> It's all right it's ok, it was gonna happen anyway
We had our chance, made our point
You're not gonna take that away
You're not gonna take that away
You're not gonna take that away
You're not gonna take that away

Thanx for the money
Thanx for dancin' and singin' along
And everything you do
We just want you to know we care (we care)
And we're sorry that so many people
Got to enjoy our music
By hearin' us on the radio
We love you, we love you
Because you really understand
We love you, we love you a lot
How could we not
We'll say it again
We love you, we love you
Because you really understand
We love you, we love you a lot
We always thought you liked our band
(we care, we care, we care, we care)
I'm not talkin' about everybody
I'm sorry to waste a song
And your time like this
We're so lucky to have you there(we care)
And we know that some of you get it
That you're not ashamed to admit it
That you're still with us after all
We love you, we love you
Because you really understand
We love you, we love you a lot
How could we not
We'll say it again
We love you, we love you
Because you really understand
We love you, we love you a lot
We always thought you liked our band
We love you

Everybody's doin' the fish
Yea! yea! yea!
Everybody's doin' the fish yea yea yea...

Everyone who looks like me is my friend
Please don't hate me because I'm trendy
They're not gonna laugh at me again.

Everybody does it
Why don't you?
Everybody does it...
Maybe you should too
Cause you don't want to be left out
You want to be cool.

It's not so bad bein' trendy
Everyone who looks like me is my friend
Please don't hate me because I'm trendy

They're not gonna laugh at me again!

Everybody's makin' fun of me
Cause they say, I'm so trendy
Cause I do what others do
They'll make fun of me
They'll make fun of you

I don't want to be left out
I want to be cool!
(makin' fun of trendy people is the trendiest thing of all)

i need her anymore...

i know everything sucks
and this won't be the last
time you hear me complain.

This is not a song about the one that got away
This is not a song about the girl who didn't love me
Once again I have made somebody cry
Once again, once again I am the bad guy
I am the bad guy

It's mean but I'm not sorry I let you down
It's mean but I'm not sorry I let you down
It's mean but I'm not sorry I let you down
Don't you wish I never came around

I didn't care that she'd do anything for me
I didn't care that she would sell her soul to serve me
And as the tears fall from the corners of her eyes
I walked away, I walked away cause I'm the bad guy
I am the bad guy

It's mean but I'm not sorry I let you down
It's mean but I'm not sorry I let you down
It's mean but I'm not sorry I let you down
Don't you wish I never came around

It's not funny
It's not funny at all, no no
But your misery, your pain
I'm gonna laugh about it all
Cause I'm the bad guy
I am the bad guy
I am the bad guy

It's mean but I'm not sorry I let you down
It's mean, oh yeah
It's mean but I'm not sorry I let you down
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

It's mean but I'm not sorry I let you down
It's mean but I'm not sorry I let you down
It's mean but I'm not sorry I let you down
Don't you wish I never came around
Don't you wish I never came around
Don't you wish I never came around

I've got the measles and she got the mumps
I'm sick of waiting by the door in case she comes home
You won't believe it but don't you want to know

I let her go but I can't let her go
I don't want to hear it
I'm singin' too high tonight, I'm gonna lose my voice
I heard her on the radio don't want to sing along, but I've got no choice

She used to be my girl but now she's famous (she's famous now)
She used to be my girl but now she is famous (she's famous now)
She was just so sweet and now they're fallin' at her feet
She used to be my girl but now she's-

I eat the muscle and she eats the leaves
High cholesterol and heart disease yea
You'll never touch the way that I feel
Just for the record she got the deal
I don't want to hear it
I'm saying goodbye tonight, I just can't stand the noise

She's signin' autographs, don't want to say I know her but I've got no choice
She used to be my girl but now she's famous (she's famous now)
She used to be my girl but now she's famous (she's famous now)
She was just so sweet and now they're fallin' at her feet
She used to be my girl but now she's-

Well she's like me, just not as ugly
She used to be my girl but now she's famous (she's famous now)
She used to be my girl but now she's-
She was just so sweet
She was just so sweet
She was just so sweet and now they're fallin' at her feet
She used to be my girl but now she's-
Famous now

she told me
that I was lame
with her middle finger in my face
wont waste her time with such a loser
so now I wallow in regret
wanna do something right but I haven't yet
why do my endeavors end up in failure

I think I'll go out drinkin'
drinkin' all night long
cuz if I go out drinkin'
then I can stop thinkin'
bout how the world done me wrong

I guess I shouldn't feel so bad
ain't got much reason to feel so sad
'cept that I'm poor untalented and ugly
I know its like they always say
good times and bad will come our way
but theres only one thing that'll make this easier

I think I'll go out drinkin'
drinkin' all night long
cuz if I go out drinkin'
then I can stop thinkin'
bout how the world done me wrong

so wrong
I sing this song and nobody sings along
I've got a friend
he's in my hand
he understands
he said to me everything wont be so bad!

I think I'll go out drinkin'
drinkin' all night long
cuz if I go out drinkin'
then I can stop thinkin'
bout how the world done me wrong

I think I'll go out drinkin' (think I'll go out drinkin')
drinkin' all night long (drinkin' all night long)
cuz if I go out drinkin'
then I can stop thinkin'
about how the worlds done me
how the worlds done me wrong (so wrong)

There's a little girl I know
You might know her too,
She looks so good
She looks so cute,
Standin' next to you
And I don't know what to do

I want your girlfriend to be my...
I want your girlfriend to be my...
I want your girlfriend to be my girlfriend....too.

She's so fucking cute,
I wish that she was mine,
She's so fucking cute,
I'm gonna lose my mind, Baby
I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do
Maybe I could kill you

I want your girlfriend to be my
I want your girlfriend to be my
I want your girlfriend to be my girlfriend(watch out)

I want your girlfriend
To be...be...be...be my girlfriend
Cause she is so cute,
I don't know what to do
Maybe she could love me too
I want your girlfriend to be my girlfriend
I want your girlfriend to be my girlfriend too

I want your girlfriend to be my
I want your girlfriend to be my
I want your girlfriend to be my girlfriend .... too (too)

I want your girlfriend (to be my girlfriend)
I want your girlfriend (to be my girlfriend)
I want your......girlfriend

i guess it's not fair
for me to not care
but i don't, and that's why
you think i'm a great guy
but i want you and you want me too
and you need this, wanna give it to you
and i thought this time i'd say something new
i'll call you, i swear
so, next time be there
can't keep up, not more
should quit but, what for?
cause i want you and you want me too
and you need this, wanna give it to you
and i thought this time i'd feel something new

and i want you to feel that i do
well i want you and you want me too
and you need this wanna give it to you
and i thought this time i'd be someone true
yeah i want you and you want me too
and you need this, wanna give it to you
and i thought this time i'd say something new

Hey!
Hey!

Yeah!

I just made an enemy of someone
I don't know, and they are upset about somethin'
That I must have done, it really doesn't make much sense
That I've got no
Statement in my defense- What!

[Chorus]
I know,
No matter what
No matter who
No matter what I do
Somebody hates me
(Somebody hates me)
Somebody hates me, somebody hates me
(Somebody hates me)
Somebody hates me, somebody hates me
And I hate somebody too

Did you misunderstand something that I did
Or was it one of my jokes that you didn't get
Or do you think you've got the way I think all figured out
What did I say to make you feel not cool now- Well!

[Chorus]

I know it's wrong
I do it too (I do it too)
And I guess I should say
Don't let it get to you

[Chorus]

Somebody hates me [Repeat: x5]
And I hate somebody too [Repeat: x5]
Someone like you

Back when I met you
I did't have a clude
of the horrible agony
you would put me through
but now that we've done some time
and I know who you are.
You're so full of shit
how did it get so far?
well you ruined my life,
you were never my friend
And now all I can hope is that
I'll never see you again

Valerie-you make me wish I was dead
Valerie-you're like a nife in my head
I'll never ever be the same
my life is ruined, you're too blame
every moment of the year we spent
you pushed me further
and further over the edge
Maybe you did'nt mean it,
maybe you're sotty as well
but i know that you are evil,
you came straight out of hell
Well you wasted my time,
all of my money too
I never really hated until I met you

Valerie-you make me wish I was dead
Valerie-you're like a nife in my head
I'll never ever be the same
my life is ruined, you're too blame
Well you ruined my life,
you were never my friend
and now all I can hope is that
I'll never see you again

Valerie-you make me wish I was dead
Valerie-you're like a nife in my head
I'll never ever be the same
my life is ruined, you're too blame

Don't you know they're talkin' about a revolution, it sounds like a whisper
Don't you know they're talkin' about a revolution, it sounds like a whisper

While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Don't you know they're talkin' about a revolution, it sounds like a whisper

Poor people gonna rise up and get their share
Poor people gonna rise up and take what's theirs
Don't you know you better run run run run run run run run run run run run
I said you better run run run run run run run run run run run run

'Cause finally the tables are starting to turn, talkin' 'bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn, talkin' 'bout a revolution
Oh no, talkin' 'bout a revolution

Oh, I been standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Don't you know they're talkin' about a revolution, it sounds like a whisper
And finally the tables are starting to turn, talkin' 'bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn, talkin' 'bout a revolution

She called me late last night to say she loved me so
It didn't matter anymore but I say she never cared
And that she never will I'd do it all again
I guess I'll have to wait until then
If I get drunk well I'll pass out
On the floor now baby
You won't bother me no more
If you're drinkin' well you know
That you're my friend and I say
I think I'll have myself a beer.

She called me late last night to say she loved me,
So..? but I guess he changed her mind.
Well I should have known it wouldn't be
All right, but I can't live without her
So I won't even try

Maybe some day, I'll think of what to say.
Maybe next time I'll remember what to do,
She looks like heaven, maybe this is hell,
Said she'd do it all again, she'd promise not to tell!

If I get drunk well, I'll pass out
On the floor now baby
You won't bother me no more
(and she said)

It's OK boy cause you know
We'll be good friends
And I say, I think I'll have myself a beer.

We're talking away
I don't know what's left to say
I'm sayin' it anyway
Today's not my day to find you
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love o.k.?
Take on me, take me on
I'll be gone
In a day or two
So needless to say
I'm odds and ends
But i've been stolen away
Slowly learning that life is o.k.
Say it after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry
Take on me,
take me on
I'll be gone
in a day or two
Things that you say
yeah is it life or just to play my
Worries away
You're all the things I've got to remember
Shying away
I'll be coming for your love anyway
Take on me,
take me on
I'll be gone
in a day or two
Take on me,
take me on
I'll be gone
in a day

She has a girlfriend now
She has a girlfriend now
She has a girlfriend now she said
"guys don't do no more for me"
"you never loved me like I wanted you to"
"I loved you baby what do you want me to do?"

She said she found someone who's gonna hold her hand
She said she found someone who's gonna understand
She don't need nobody to be her man
She don't need nobody to be her man

I never thought it would end like this
Just because I've got no tits
I'll shave my legs, I'll wear a bra
I'll even cut my penis off for you
She has a girlfriend now.

I'm gonna say it like I mean it,
We've let this go on to long.
You know I'm starting to believe it
That all together we could be strong
I won't name who's to blame for the misery and pain
it's a shame all the same that we
lay down and play their game.

You've got it wrong,
it's not alright
We've got the fire, but does it mean anything
We've got the fire tonight.
We wanna fight but will that change anything?
Will it make it alright?

I know it's vague but I'll say it
There's something wrong everywhere
And you're ashamed to admit it
But if it's not then you don't care
Well they will put you away
for the things that you say
And you're not buying in,
but their still gonna make you pay

You've got it wrong,
it's not alright
We've got the fire, but does it mean anything
We've got the fire tonight
We wanna fight but will it change anything?
Will that make it alright?

I hate music, I hate the scene
I hate my records, I hate CDs
I hate everyone at shows, and I hate that Rock and Roll
Cuz I know that machine sucked out my soul

Turn it off,
Turn it off,
Turn the radio off
Try thinking for yourself for once in your life

I hate the music business,
it's filled with greed
it's run by old men who don't know what I need
I'm getting older fast, I hope this anger lasts
So I can have the strength to keep fighting back

Turn it off,
Turn it off,
Turn the radio off
Don't you know we're turning into zombies
Turn it off,
Turn it off,
Turn the radio off
Try thinking for yourself for once in your life.

Blah blah blah
another song about the radio
Always complaining that we hate the radio
Well it's time to start the war, now here we go
Our first mission: just don't listen

Turn it off,
Turn it off,
Turn the radio off
Don't you know we're turning into zombies
Turn it off,
Turn it off,
Turn the radio off
Try thinking for yourself for once in your life
Turn it off,
Turn it off,
Turn the radio off
Try thinking for yourself for once in your life.

You called me up last night in tears and said you missed me after all these years
But I’ve been waiting here so long, I’ve gotten over it since you've been gone
You called me up last night again and said you're finished with your new boyfriend
Asked if you could come back home- so sorry that you left me all alone

You say you love me, you love me again but if you love me- where have you been?
You say you need me more than anyone else well go to hell, where have you been?
You showed up at my door today and said my friend why do you push me away
Life with him was just so dull and what we had was something wonderful

You say you love me, you love me again but if you love me- where have you been?
You say you need me more than anyone else well go to hell- where have you been?
I said you wish! I don't need this! What makes you think I’d ever want you again?
Yeah right! As if! What makes you think I'd ever want you again?

I never felt too good but in this world who would
I was always thinkin?somethin?wasn't right
But then you came along and helped me sing a song and
now I feel ok I hope it can stay- this way
You know we've got a good thing goin' and I don't wanna see it end
You know we've got a good thing goin' and I don't wanna see it end
Are these the good days that I've heard so much about-
there goes the heartbreak that I can live without
I've been so frustrated, bitter, mean, and jaded
I've taken for granted all the things I've got
But now that you are here this anger disappears
and I feel happy too this is sappy but it's true
You know we've got a good thing goin' and I don't wanna see it end
You know we've got a good thing goin' and I don't wanna see it end
Are these the good days that I've heard so much about there goes the heartbreak
that I can live without

I wrote this song about you
I wrote this song about you
Just to let you know that I hate your guts
And I think you suck
I wrote this song about you
I wrote this song about you
Just to let you know that I hate your guts
And I think you suck

I hate the way you look
(You make me sick)
I hate the way you talk
(I wanna punch you in the face)
I can't stand you at all
(You drive me insane)
Why won't you go away?

I wrote this song about you
I wrote this song about you
Just to let you know that I hate your guts
And I think you suck

This is your song
Congratulations
You're the inspiration
I hate you so much
That I wrote this song
Congratulations
You're immortalized
I hate so much
I hope you fuckin' die

Every time I try so hard I get nothin' (nothin')
They say try and you won't fail I get nothin' (nothin')
I did all that I could I got nothin' (nothin')
I tried so hard for nothin' (nothin')
I never wanted it that way guess there was nothin' I could say
I don't know what I want
But I know I don't want this
I give up I give in I know I'm never gonna win

I know it's really not your fault
I'm gonna blame you anyway
You say you're sorry but I know it won't do no good
I give up, I give in, I know I'm never gonna win.

I don't fuckin' care, I don't fuckin' care
I don't fuckin' care anymore
It's gonna be all right
Cause I don't fuckin' care anymore.

Don't start a band
No body wants to hear no body wants to hear
Nobody understands
Don't start a band
You'll be so disappointed that it was nothing like you planned
Don't start a band
Oh yea yea yea

I hate to ruin the magic
I hate to kill the dream
But once you've been behind the scenes then you'll know just what I mean
You might think that's its cool to get up on stage
And play rock and roll from your heart and soul
But no one shows up and your songs all suck
And there's no applause and no flying bras
No girls will scream for you and no ones gonna sing along with you

Don't start a band
No body wants to hear nobody understands
Don't start a band
You will be so damn terrible they'll all think your shitty
Don't start a band
Oh yea yea yea
'cause you wont get paid
And you won't get laid

And even if you make it
All the way to MTV
I don't think you could take it
All the bullshit and the greed
Everyone is so fake when they shake you hand
And they kiss your ass 'cause then they get cash
And the business end will turn every friend
To an enemy oh you will see

They'll turn their their backs and they'll be gone
Faster than can say 'what did I do wrong'

Don't start a band
No body really cares nobody understands
Don't Start a Band
You will sign your lives away and then you'll be working for the man
Don't start a band oh yea yea yea

Your message will get lost
You'll get double crossed

And if you that the joy of playing
Will keep you going through the years
Wait till you poor and frustrated
And the fun just disappears
Nobody cares what you have to say
And noes gonna listen anyways

Rock and roll will bring you down
And it will kick you while your on the ground

Don't start a band
Don't even try you will regret it yea
Don't start a band
You'll be so disappointed that it was nothing like you planned
Don't start a band
Oh yea yea yea

So just give up now
I'll show you how

Don't start a Band <i>[x4]</i>

Well I know you can't work in fast food all your life
But don't sign that paper tonight
She said but it's too late.

I don't remember what I read
Don't remember what they said
Guess it doesn't matter
Guess it doesn't matter anymore

You're gonna go to the record store
You're gonna give'em all your money
Radio plays what they want you to hear
They tell me it's cool but I just don't believe it

Sell out, with me oh yea, sell out, with me tonight
Record company's gonna give me lots of money and
Everything's gonna be all right

No more flippin' burgers puttin' on my silly hat you know
I don't want that no more
And I didn't ask when we'd get paid
I quit my day job anyway
Guess it doesn't matter, guess it doesn't matter anymore

Tell me it's cool, I just don't believe it

Sell out, with me oh yea

The record company's gonna give me lots of money

And I don't think it'll be so bad
And I know it won't be so bad

Or a magazine that she won't read, stole
Her heart but it's not my fault, lookin' at
My picture she forgot about her boyfriend, yea

I'll never be, anything, anything at all
Drives me crazy, can't get away
Somebody tell me, when do we get paid?

Everybody's lookin' at me

Or a magazine like seventeen or rolling stone
And I won't be alone with your
Money in my pocket and face on your T-shirt yeah

Drives me crazy, can't get away
But I try and I try and I try and I try
Every day

I'll never be, anything, anything at all

Don't you know they're talkin' about a revolution, it sounds like a whisper
Don't you know they're talkin' about a revolution, it sounds like a whisper

While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Don't you know they're talkin' about a revolution, it sounds like a whisper

Poor people gonna rise up and get their share
Poor people gonna rise up and take what's theirs
Don't you know you better run run run run run run run run run run run run
I said you better run run run run run run run run run run run run

'Cause finally the tables are starting to turn, talkin' 'bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn, talkin' 'bout a revolution
Oh no, talkin' 'bout a revolution

Oh, I been standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sitting around waiting for a promotion

Don't you know they're talkin' about a revolution, it sounds like a whisper
And finally the tables are starting to turn, talkin' 'bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn, talkin' 'bout a revolution

Coming to you now,
From the Money Cow,
Living large in space.

Take your wallet out,
All the Dingos Shout,
"We'll eat your baby Mate!"

I'm upsetting you,
But I'm getting through,
I'm just sick of the same old something.
And you want me to stay but I am out the door.

Baking a cake!

We just came to party down!
Killing every scene around!
We just came to party hardy hardy hardy hardy!

Who ho ho!
Oh oh oh!

She fell down the stairs,
Snakes eat Baby Bears,
Sharks are coming now.

Tearing off my flesh,
Are you getting fresh?
Slap me in the plough.

We like popsicles,
We have lost control,
I can't run 'cause i'm in slow motion.
The mechanical bulls are melting in the snow.

Flipper hurray!

We just came to party down,
Whee-ha!
Killing every scene around!
We just came to party hardy hardy hardy hardy.

We won't let you down,
We won't let you down.

Ah yeah, party down.
Killing every scene around.

You say, I do everything the wrong way
Why don't I do it your way
Then maybe someday
I'll be just like you

But I say, I'm gonna do it my way
The "I might fail but I'll try" way
Well that's been done but it's ok
I'll do what I wanna do

Cause' I don't want
To live your dream,
I don't want to live your dream

No way, I'll take my chances this time
I've gotta go and live life
And I won't let you try and take mine
I just won't let you

Cause' I don't want
To live your dream,
I don't want to live your dream
I won't change what I believe
I won't change what I believe

So try to hold me if you want
Try to control me if you want
But you won't keep me down
I'm not your clown
I've got to find my own way now
So try to hold me if you want

But I say, I'm gonna do it my way
The "I might fail but I'll try" way
Well that's been done but it's ok
I'll do what I wanna do

Cause' I don't want
To live your dream,
I don't want to live your dream
I won't change what I believe
I won't change what I believe

You say, I do everything the wrong way

I couldnt do it
So i asked for a helping hand
To get me through it
But i guess it wasnt in your plan
Oh maybe you were

Just too busy to make time for me
I always put you first
Expected me to figure out things
But they all kept getting worse
When i think about the way you let me down
I wonder if im supposed to count on you

How could you ignore me?!

My imaginary friend didnt come through in the end
So now i have to find a real one
Didnt answer when i called
Well i guess its just beacause
He was never man at all

I cant believe it
Now that im looking back
Why didnt i see it?!
Well i guess i didnt even ask

While you were never
Ever in the places i would go
You never showed yourself
All those heatr-felt conversations
Were with me and no one else
When i called your name
You never answered am i insane?
If you saw me suffering

How could you ignore me?!

My imaginary friend didnt come through in the end
So now i have to find a real one
Didnt answer when i called
Well i guess its just because
He was never there at all

Its not hard to let him go
I dont know why i ever loved him so

Maybe there is something wrong with me
I dont see what they see
Used to fold my hands and close my eyes
And think you were with me
Now theres something wrong
It doesnt seem to make much sense
I just feel stupid now

How could i beleive it?!

My imaginary friend didnt come through in the end
So now i have to find a real one
Didnt answer when i called
Wel i guess its just because
He was never there at all
My imaginary friend wooh yeah (now i have to find a real one)
Didnt come through in the end wooh no (cos he was never there at all)
He was never there at all

Slow down,
You got to slow down and
Take it easy

Slow down,
You got to slow down and
Take it easy Oh Yeah

Well you've been racing around and your bloods flowing fast and your heart starts to pound
Yeah you've been shaking the trees but no answers fall out just birds nests and leaves
You told that son of a bitch to get out of this place or you'd punch in his face
You threw the telephone down when the bad news came and then it stuck around

You've got to make it stop
Find a way to make that blood pressure drop, so

Slow down,
You got to slow down and
Take it easy, Oh Yeah

There will be times in your life when the roof falls in and the bed bugs bite
Those sweet dreams you heard about well you slept right through them what's that about
Cause of that snake in the grass well you never had such a pain in the ass
Yeah you tried speaking your mind but they got you convinced that its empty inside

You've got to make it stop
Find a way to make that blood pressure drop, so

Slow down,
You got to slow down and
Take it easy

Slow down,
You got to slow down and
Take it easy, Oh Yeah

You've got to make it stop
Find a way to make that blood pressure drop, so

Slow down,
You got to slow down and
Take it easy

Slow down,
You got to slow down and
Take it easy, Slow

Slow down,
You got to slow down and
Take it easy, Oh Yeah

Take it easy oh yeah!

When did you quit pulling all of the stops for me
And when did your one hundred and ten per-cent
Become under fifty
There you are phoning it in
Going through the motions with an artificial grin
You say that you're getting better
You say that you're getting better

You say you're becoming a better person
One that isn't so lame
You say you're becoming a better person
But I still feel the same

It's the new, it's the new, new version of you
It's the new, it's the new, new version of you
It's the new, it's the new, new version of you
If there's one thing I'd like to do
It's kill the new version of you

When did you start wearing all of those clothes to be cool
And when did you start using all that slang?
I can't understand you
I bet you'd forget to say "I love you"
If the teleprompter hadn't told you
You say that you're getting better
You say that you're getting better

You say you're becoming a better person
One that isn't so lame
You say you're becoming a better person
But I still feel the same

It's the new, it's the new, new version of you
It's the new, it's the new, new version of you
It's the new, it's the new, new version of you
If there's one thing I'd like to do
It's kill the new version of you

Who are you?
I don't know now
You got me wondering I wonder
How you got to be so different now

You say you're becoming a better person
One that isn't so lame
You say you're becoming a better person
But I still feel the same
I still feel the same

It's the new, it's the new, new version of you
It's the new, it's the new, new version of you
It's the new, it's the new, new version of you
If there's one thing I'd like to do
It's kill the new version of you

Will the revolution come?
Well, that's what they all say
Will the revolution come?
Well then that will be the day
Will the revolution come?
Then put your fist in the air
Will the revolution come?
You better get out of your chair

Cause we won't wise up so how can we rise up
Tired of being enslaved
Will the revolution come?
Will anything change?

Will the revolution come?
Well I heard that before
Will the revolution come?
Well I'll try not to act too bored

Cause each generation's mess is bigger
Than the one before it has made
Will the revolution come?
Can we be saved?

Ooo ooo

Cause we won't wise up so how can we rise up
Tired of being enslaved
Will the revolution come?
Will anything change?

Will the revolution come?
You better not run and hide
Will the revolution come?
You gotta stand outside

Because the only place that is in our minds
The only change to our apathy
Will the revolution come?
Just wait and see

She calls out to the man on the street
sir, can you help me?
Its cold and Ive nowhere to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me?

He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there

[Chorus]
Oh think twice, cause its another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, cause its another day for you,
You and me in paradise

Just think about it
Think about it
Just think about it

She calls out to the man on the street
He can see shes been crying
Shes got blisters on the soles of her feet
She can't walk but shes trying

[Chorus]

Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody else can do
Oh lord, there must be something you can say

You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she's been there
Probably been moved on from every place
Cause she didn't fit in there

[Chorus: x2]

Just think about it
Just think about it
Think about it
Just think about it

Everybody's druuuunk

Everybody's druuuunk
Everybody's drunk tonight

Always makes girls horny
So come on boys, let's
CHUG A FEW!

Everybody's druuuunk
Everybody's drunk tonight

Lift your something

(<i>[Aaron:]</i> -urp- There is no trash can!)

Please don't tell her I have a girlfriend
Please don't tell her I have a girlfriend
Cause it's so hard
Can't even pretend
That I only want to be her friend

Well I don't deserve it
You know that it's true
But she said that she would
And you know I would to
Oh-oh
What am I gonna' do?

Please don't tell her I have a girlfriend
Please don't tell her I have a girlfriend
Cause it's so hard
Can't even pretend
That I only want to be her friend

Well I know that actions speak louder than words
And thinking is bad
But doing's much worse
Oh-oh
But I'm so perverse

Please don't tell her I have a girlfriend
Please don't tell her I have a girlfriend
Cause it's so hard
Can't even pretend
I only want to be her friend

Well I know I can keep a secret
I know I can keep a secret
Can you keep my secret?

Oh please don't tell her
That I have a girlfriend
Cause it's so hard
I can't even pretend

Please don't tell her I have a girlfriend
Please don't tell her I have a girlfriend
Cause it's so hard
Can't even pretend
That I only want to be her friend

Going back to the way
Going back to the way
That it used to be
When things were much better
Going back to the way
Going back to the way
That it used to be
When we were together

It's been so hard for me
To take all the things that come my way
It's been so hard but know I say
We are

Going back to the way
Going back to the way
That it used to be
When things were much better
Going back to the way
Going back to the way
That it used to be
When we were together

I've been alone too long
There's no one else
I'd rather see
Nothing's more right
Than you and me
So we're

Going back to the way
Going back to the way
That it used to be
When things were much better
Going back to the way
Going back to the way
That it used to be
When we were together

Going back to the way
Going back to the way
That it used to be
When things were much better
Going back to the way
Going back to the way
That it used to be
When we were together

Hey, hey everybody! Look who's on TV, look who just got famous
don't you know it should have been me...
I'm not really bitter, I'm not really mad, I love to see other people
get everything I ever wanted to have,
I don't really care, how big they get... I hate you, fuck you
leave me alone! Why cant I be cool like them?
I used to have a girlfriend, I treated her so bad, she went out and
found another lead singer, maybe she just likes guys in bands.
I give up on everything, all my dreams are dead, maybe I'll get a
shotgun, and try to blow her right out of my head... everybody says,
"How come you ain't made it yet?" I hate you, fuck you, leave me
alone! Why can't I get my girl back?
I knew you wouldn't understand, just what I'm tryin' to do, cause you're
not me, and I'm so glad that I am not you...
I know it's my problem, there's nothing I can do, but I don't think
there is no reason, I don't think there's no excuse for you...
well I've learned my lesson, hope you've learned it to, and if
they're gonna go and do it to me well I guess I'm gonna have to
go and do it to you... I don't really care, how much you cry...
IhateyoufuckyouleavemealoneIhateyoufuckyouleavemealone!!!
why can't anything go my way?
