Green Day

What brings you around?
Did you lose something the last time you were here?
You'll never find it now
It's buried deep with your identity
So stand aside and let the next one pass
Don't let the door kick you in the ass
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
Don't even try...
Exit out the back
And never show your head around again
Purchase your ticket
And quickly take the last train out of town
So stand aside and let the next one pass
Don't ket the door kick you in the ass
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
Don't even try...
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
There's no return from 86
Don't even try...

All the time, every time I need it.
What's the time?
I'd say the time is right.
Here's to me.
Let's find another reason.
Down the hatch and a bad attitude.
Salud.

Wasting time
Wasting time down a bum fuck road.
And I don't know where the hell it'll go.
Heirlooms and huffing fumes, and I'm picking up
the pace
and I'm gonna smash straight into a wall.

All the time.
A "New Year's Resolution"
How soon that we forget.
Doing time.
Loving every minute.
Live it up on another let down.
Salud.

Promises, promises, it was all set in stone,
cross my heart and
hope to die.
Sugar fix, dirty tricks and a trick question.
Guess i should have read between the lines.
Having the time of my life, watching the clock
tick.

All the time, where did all the time go?
It's too late to say goodnight.
Time flies when you're having fun.
Time's up when you work like a dog.
Salud.

stranded......lost inside myself
my own worst freind
my own closest enemy

branded......maladjusted
never trusted anyone
let alone myself

I must insist on being a pessimist
I'm a loner in a catastrophic mind

elected......the rejected
I perfected the science of the idiot

no meaning........no healing
seif loathing freak introverted deviot

I must insist on being a pessimist

I'm getting pissed
I'm a worthless pessimist
I'm a loner in a claustrophobic mind

I've got a knack for fucking everything up
My temper flies and I get myself all wound up
My fuse is short and my blood pressure is high
I lose control and I get myself all wound up
Tension mounts and I fly off the wall
I self destruct and I get myself all wound up
Petulance and irritation sets in
I throw a tantrum and I get myself all wound up
Chip on my shoulder and a leech on my back
Stuck in a rut and I get myself all wound up
Killed my composure and it will never come back
Loss of control and I get myelf all wound up
Blown out of proportion again
My temper snaps and I get myself all wound up
Spontaneous combustion
Panic attack
I slipped a gear and I get myself all wound up

Do you have the time
to listen to me whine
About nothing
and everything all at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it

*Sometimes I give
myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind
plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Am I just stoned?

I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex
that's bringing me down
I went to a whore
HE said my life's a bore
So quit my whining
cause it's bringing herdown

* Reapeat

Grasping to control
So I better hold on

Waiting in a room
All dressed up and bound
and gagged
To a chair
It's so unfair
I won't dare move
for the pain
She puts me through
is what I need
So make it bleed
I'm in distress
oh mistress
I confess so do it
one more time
These handcuffs are too tight
You know I will obey
so please
Don't make me be
For blood sex and booze
you give me
Some say I'm disturbe
it's what I deserv
another lesson
To be learned
from a girl called kill
My head is in the gutter
Thank you sir
strike up another mandolin
Of discipline
Throw me to the dogs
Let them eat my flesh down
To the wood
It feels so good
I'm in distress
oh mistress
I confess so do it
one more time
These handcuffs are too tight
You know I will obey

I'm having trouble trying to sleep
I'm counting sheep but running out
As time ticks by
And still I try
No rest for crosstops in my mind
On my own... here we go
My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry
My face is numb
Fucked up and spun out in my room
On my own... here we go
My mind is set on overdrive
The clock is laughing in my face
A crooked spine
My sense dulled
Passed the point of delerium
On my own... here we go

I'm having trouble trying to sleep

Mom and dad don't look so hot these days
They're getting over the hill
Death is closing in and catching up
As far as I can tell
Got a plan of action and cold blood
And it smells of defiance
I'll just wait for mom and dad to die
And got my inheritance
Now I want more
'cause i'm getting bored
And i'm going nowhere fast
I was once filled with doubt
Now it's all figured out
Nothing good can last
Crows feet and rot are setting in
And time is running out
My parent's income interest rate
Is gaining higher clout
I'm a snot nosed slob
Without a job
And I know I damn well should
Mom and dad don't look so hot these days
But my future's looking good

I declare I don't care no more
I'm burning up and out and growing bored
In my smoked out boring room
My hair is shaggin in my eyes
Dragging my feet to hit the street tonight
To drive along these shit town lights

*I'm not growing up
I'm just burning out
And I stepped in line to walk amongst the dead

Apathy has rained on me
Now I'm feeling like a soggy dream
So close to drowing but I don't mind
I have lived in this mental cave
Throwing my emotions in the grave
Hell, who needs them anyway

*Repeat

I'm on a sentimental journey
Into sight and sound
Of no returning
No looking back or down
A conscientious objector
To the war that's in my mind
I'm leaving in a lurch
And I'm taking back what's mine
I'm on a mission
Into destination unknown
An expedition
Onto Desolation road
Where I'm a
Castaway goin' at it alone
Castaway now I'm on my own
Castaway goin' at it alone
Castaway now I'm on my own
Lost and found trouble bound
Castaway

I'm ridin' on the night train
And driving stolen cars
Testin' my nerves
Out on the boulevard
Spontaneous combustion
In the corners of my mind
I'm leaving in a lurch
And I'm taking back what's mine
I'm on a mission
Into destination unknown
An expedition
Onto Desolation road
Where I'm a
Castaway goin' at it alone
Castaway now I'm on my own
Castaway goin' at it alone
Castaway now I'm on my own
Lost and found trouble bound

I'm on a sentimental journey

I don't know you but I think I hate you
You're the reason for my misery
Strange, how you've become my biggest enemy
I have never even seen your face

Maybe it's just jealousy
Mixed up with a violent mind
A circumstance that doesn't make much sense
Or maybe I'm just dumb

You're the cloud hanging out over my head
Hail comes crashing down welting my face
Magic man, egocentric plastic man
Yet you still got one over on me

Today is the first day
of the rest Of our lives
Tomorrow is too late
to pretend
Everything is allright
I1m not getting
any younger as long
As you don1t get any older
Im not going to state
that yesterday never was
Bloodshot deadbeat
and a lack of sleep
Making your mascara bleed
Tears down your face
Leaving traces of
my mistakes when I say
If I promise to
go to church on Sunday
Will you go with me
on Friday night
If you live with me
Ill die for you
And this compromise

I hereby solenly to tell
The whole truth
And nothing
but the truth is what
Ill ever hear from you
Trust is a dirty
word that comes
Only from such a liar
But respect is something
I will earn
If you have faith
Bloodshot deadbeat
and a lack of sleep
Making your mascara bleed
Tears down your face
Leaving traces
of my mistakes
when I say
if I promise to
go to church on Sunday
Will you go with me
on Friday night
If you live with me
Ill die for you
And this compromise
if I promise to go to
church on Sunday
Will you go with me
on Friday night
If you live with me
Ill die for you
And this compromise

if I promise to go to
church on Sunday
Will you go with me
on Friday night
If you live with me
Ill die for you
And this compromise
if I promise to go to
church on Sunday
Will you go with me
on Friday night
If you live with me
Ill die for you
And this compromise
And this compromise
And this compromise

Seventeen and strung out on confusion
Trapped inside a roll of disillusion
I found out what it takes to be a man
Mom and Dad will never understand

Secrets collecting dust but never forget
SKELETONS come to LIFE in my closet

I found out what it takes to be a man
Mom and Dad will never understand
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME

Seventeen and COMING CLEAN for the first time
I finally figured out myself for the first time
I found out what it takes to be a man
Mom and Dad will never understand
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME

Wake up
The house is on fire
And the cat's caught
in the dryer
Philosophy's a liar when
Your home is your headstone
Icon is the
last chance for hope
When there's no such thing
as heroes
Your faith lies
in the ditch
that You dug yourself in
Last chance to piss it
all away
Nothing but hell to pay
When the lights are
going down
Deadbeat Holiday celebrate
your own decay
There's a vacant sign
that's hanging high
On a noose over your home
Deadbeat Holiday get on
your knees and pray
There's a vacant sign
that's hanging high
But at least you're not alone
Christmas lights
in the middle of August
Grudges come back to haunt us
Your oldest allies are
your long lost enemies
Grounded in a duplex to find
that you're living
on a landmine
Vacation hotspots
is a cemetery drive
Last chance to
piss it all away
Nothing but hell to pay
When the lights are going down
Deadbeat Holiday celebrate
your own decay
There's a vacant sign
that's hanging high
On a noose over your home
Deadbeat Holiday get on
your knees and pray
There's a vacant sign
that's hanging high
But at least you're not alone

Last chance to piss it
all away
Nothing but hell to pay
what all you
Want to do is
not to
give up
Deadbeat Holiday celebrate
your own decay
There's a vacant sign
that's hanging high
On a noose over your home
Deadbeat Holiday get on
your knees and pray
There's a vacant sign
that's hanging high
But at least you're not alone
Deadbeat Holiday celebrate
your own decay
There's a vacant sign
that's hanging high
But at least you're not alone
Holiday

I saw my friend the other day and I don't know
Exactly just what he became
It goes to show
It wasn't long ago
I was just like you
And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home

How have I been, how have you been
It's been so long
What have you done with all your time
And what went wrong

I knew you back when
And you ... you knew me
And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home

Anybody ever say no ?
Ever tell you that you weren't right ?
Where did all the little kid go ?
Did you lose it in a hateful fight ?
And you know it's true

It wasn't long ago
I was just like you
And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home

Something's on my mind
It's been for quite some time
This time I'm on to you
So where's the other face ?
The face I heard before
Your head trip's boring me

Let's nuke the bridge we torched
2,000 times before
This time we'll blast it all to hell
I've had this burning in my guts now
for so long
My belly's aching now to say

Stuck down in a rut of dislogic and smut
A side of you well hid
When it's all said and done
it's real and it's been fun
But was it all REAL fun

Let's nuke this bridge we torched
2,000 times before
This time we'll blast it all to hell
I've had this burning in my guts now
for so long
My belly's aching now to say

You're just...a fuck.
I can't explain it 'cause I think you suck.
I'm taking pride,
In telling you to Fuck Off and Die.

I've had this burning in my guts now for so long
My belly's aching now to sing
I'm taking pleasure in passing these doubts to you,
So listen up 'cause you might miss...

You're just...a fuck.
I can't explain it 'cause I think you suck.
I'm taking pride,
In telling you to Fuck Off and Die.

Good...night.

(long silence)

I was alone, I was all by myself
No one was looking, I was thinking of you
Oh yeah, did I mention I was all by myself
All by myself (sev times)

I went to your house, but no one was there
I went to your room
I was all by myself
You and me had (?), such wonderful times
When I'm all by myself, all by myself ...

He's a victim of his own time
In his vintage suit and tie
He's casualty dressed to the teeth
In the latest genocide
The new seasons come and go
At the dog and pony show
Gonna sit and beg and fetch the names
And fallow the dress codes
WHAT'S IN A NAME?...HEY!

She's a scented magazine
Looking sharp and living clean
Living well and dressed to kill
But she looks like hell to me

So when you're dancing throgh your wardrope
Do the anorex - a go-go
Cloaked with style
For pedophiles as the credit card explodes

You auctioned off your life
For the most expensive price
Going once...
Going twice...
Now it's gone

(You the Crew)

You auctioned off your life
For the most expensive price
Going once...
Going twice...
Now it's gone

What's in a name, hey?
What's in a name, hey?
What's in a name?

I'm on a mission
I made my decision
To lead a path of self destruction
A slow progression
Killing my complexion
And it's rotting out my teeth
I'm on a roll
No self comtrol
I'm blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Don't know what I want
That's all that i've got
And i'm picking scabs off my face
Every hour my blood is turning sour
And my pulse is beating out of time
I found a treasure
Filled with sick pleasure
And it sits on a thin white line
I'm on a mission
I got no decision
Like a cripple running the rat race
Wish in one hand shit in the other
And see which one gets filled first

Another turning point
A fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist
Directs you where to go
So make the best of this test
And don't ask why
It's not a question
But a lesson I learned in time

It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs
And still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf of good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth
It was worth all the while

*This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone
This girl has gone far away
Now she's gone
Now she's gone
Now she's gone

All I have now is a memory to date
A cheap hat and cigaretts and a peculiar name
I didn't know now,
I didn't know before she went away
I don't know
I don't know, and it's too damn late

*Repeat

Will she ever find her way?
I'm too damn young to be too late, but am I?
Yet again I'm kicking myself
And I'll be here in battle scars
Waiting for you
Waiting for you now

*Repeat

I'm taking all you down with me
Explosives duct taped to my spine
Nothing's gonna change my mind
I won't listen to anyone's last words
There's nothing left for you to say
Soon you'll be dead anyway

Well, no one is getting out alive
This time I've really lost my mind and I don't care
So close your eyes and kiss yourself goodbye
And think about the time you spent and what they've ment
To me it's nothing

I'm losing all my happiness
The happiness you pinned on me
Loneliness still comforts me
My anger dwells inside of me
I'm taking it all out on you
And all the shit you put me through

Do you ever think back to another time
Did it bring you so down that you thought you lost your mind?
Do you ever want to lead a long ways of distruction
And mow down any bullshit that comforts you
Do you ever build up all the small things in your head
To make one problem that adds up to nothing

Hey mister, where you headed?
Are you in a hurry?
I need a lift to happy hour.
Say oh no.
Do you brake for distilled spirits?
I need a break as well.
The well that inebriates the guilt.
1, 2. 1, 2, 3, 4.

Cold turkey's getting stale, tonight I'm eating crow.
Fermented salmonella poison oak no

There's a drought at the fountain of youth, and now I'm
dehydrating.
My tongue is swelling up, as say 1, 2. 1, 2, 3, 4.
Troubled times, you know i can not lie.
I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin' a ride.

There's a drought at the fountain of youth, and now I'm
dehydrating.
My tongue is swelling up, I say Shit

As i stepped to the edge
beyond the shadow of a doubt
with my conscience beating
like the pulse of a drum
that hammers on and on
untill i reach the break of day
As the sun beats down on
the halfway house
has my conscience beating
the sound in my ear
the will to perservere
as i reach the break of day
When you lost all hope and excuses
and the cheapskates & the losers
Nothings left to cling onto
you got to hold on to yourself

A cry of hope
A plea for peace
and my conscience beating
It's not what i want for
its all that i need
to reach the break of day
so i run to the edge
beyond the shadow of a doubt
with my conscience bleeding
here lies the truth
the lost treasures of my youth
as i hold on to the break of day
When you lost all hope and excuses
and the cheapskates & the losers
Nothings left to cling onto
you got to hold on to yourself

When you lost all hope and excuses
and the cheapskates & the losers
Nothings left to cling onto
you got to hold on to yourself

All brawn and no brains
And all those nice things
You FINALLY got what you want
Someone to look good with
AND light your cigarette
Is this what you really want ?

I figured out what you're all about
And I don't think I like what I see
SOOOOO ...
I HOPE I won't be there in the end
if you come around.

How long will he last
Before he's a CREEP in the past
And you're alone once again ?
Will you pop up AGAIN and be my
"SPECIAL FRIEND" 'till the end ?
And when will that be ?

I figured out what you're all about
And I don't think I like what I see
SOOOOO ...
I HOPE I won't be there in the end
if you come around.

To know you is to hate you
So loving you must be like suicide
I don¹t mind if you don¹t mind
I¹m not the one that¹s going to die
I guess i just can¹t listen
To this one sided conversation again
`cause I don¹t care if I don¹t care
No one ever said that life is fair
Everybody loves a joke
But no one likes a fool
And you¹re always cracking the same old lines again
You¹re well rehearsed on every verse
And that was stated clear
But no one understands your verity
The center of attention
Got an honerable mention once again
Congratulations and salutations
You¹re a figment of your own imagination
Everybody loves a joke
But no one likes a fool
And you¹re always cracking the same old lines again
You¹re well rehearsed on every verse
And that was stated clear
But no one understands your verity

To know you is to bait you
And you fell victim to your own denial
I don¹t mind if you don¹t mind
If you¹re wasting all your time

Somebody keep my balance
I think i'm falling off
Into a state of regression
The expiration date
Rapidly coming up
It's leaving me behind to rank
Always move forward
Going "straight" will get you nowhere
There is no progress
Evolution killed it all
I found my place in nowhere
I'm taking one step sideways
Leading with my crutch
Got a fucked up equilibrium
Count down from 9 to 5
Hooray ! we're gonna die !
Blessed into our extinction

I fucked up again it's all my fault.?
So turn me around and face the wall.?
Read me my rights and tell me I'm wrong.?
Until it gets into my thick skull.?

A slap on the wrist.?
A stab in the back.?
Torture me, I've been a bad boy.?
Nail me to the cross until you have won.?
I lost before I did any wrong.?

I'm hexed with regrets and bad luck.?
Keep you distance 'cause it's rubbing off.?
Or you will be damned to spend your life in hell.?
Or earth with me tangled at your feet.?
You finally met you nemesis disguised as your fatal long
lost love.?
So kiss it good bye?
Until death do we part.?
You fell for a jinx for crying out loud.?

Sugar and spice and everything nice wasn't made for only girls

Princess by dawn
King for a day
In a leather thong
King for a day

Just wait 'til all the guys get a load of me

My daddy threw me in therapy
He thinks I'm not a real man
Who put the drag in the drag queen?
Don't knock it until you tried it

I know that things are getting tougher
When you can't get the top off from the bottom of the
barrel.
Wide open road of my future now...
It's looking fucking narrow. </spoken>

*All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothin'
All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothin'

We get told to decide.
Just like as if I'm not going to change my mind.

Whatcha gonna do with yourself,
Boy better make up your own mind...
Whatcha gonna do with yourself boy,
You're running out of time.

This time I got it all figured out.

Little girl, little girl
Why are you crying?
Inside your restless soul your heart is dying
Little one, little one
Your soul is purging
Of love and razor blades
Your blood is surging

Runaway
From the river to the street
Find yourself with your face in the gutter
Your a stray for the salvation army
There is no place like home
When you got no place to go

Little girl, little girl
Your life is calling
The charlatans and saints of your abandon
Little one, little one
The sky is falling
The lifeboat of deception is now sailing
In the wake all the way
No rhyme or reason
Your bloodshot eyes
Will show your heart of treason
Little girl, little girl
You dirty liar
You`re just a junkie
Preaching to the choir

Runaway
You lost your tranquility
To find yourself with your face in the gutter
You`re a stray for the dregs of humanity
There is no place like home
When you got no place to go

The traces of blood
Always follow you home
Like the mascara tears
From your getaway
Your walking with blisters
And running with shears
So unholy
Sister of grace

Runaway
From the river to the street
Find yourself with your face in the gutter
Your a stray for the salvation army
There is no place like home
When you got no place to go

I sit around and watch the tube but, nothing's on
I change the channels for an hour or two
Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit
I'm sick of all the same old shit
In a house with unlocked doors
And I'm fucking lazy

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going BLIND !!!
And I smell like shit

Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving
I sure as hell can't do it by myself
I'm feeling like a DOG IN HEAT
Barred indoors from the summer street
I locked the door to MY OWN CELL
And I lost the key

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going blind !!!
And I smell like shit

I GOT NO MOTIVATION
WHERE IS MY MOTIVATION
NO TIME FOR MOTIVATION
SMOKING MY INSPIRATION

I sit around and watch the phone but no one's calling
Call me pathetic call me WHAT YOU WILL
My mother says to get a job
But she don't like the one SHE's got
When masturbation's lost its fun
You're fucking breaking

Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn BORED I'm going blind
And loneliness has to suffice
Bit my lip and close my eyes
Tripping away to paradise
Some say, "Quit or I'll go BLIND"
But it's just a myth

Today's the Macy's Day Parade
The night of the living dead is on
its way
With a credit report
for a duty call
It's a lifetime guarantee
Stuffed in a coffin
10 persent more free
Red light special at the mausoleum
Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed to you
What's the consolation prize
Economy sized dreams of hope

When I was a kid I thought
I wanted all the things
that I haven't got
Oh I learned the hardest way
Then I realized what it took
To tell the difference between
Thieves and crooks
Let's along it was me and you
Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed
Because I'm thinking about
A brand new hope
The one I've never known
cause know I know
It's all that I wanted

What's the consolation prize
Economy sized dreams of hope
Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed
Because I'm thinking about
A brand new hope
The one I've never known
And where it goes
And I'm thinking about
The only road
The one I've never known
And where it goes
And I'm thinking about
A brand new hope
The one I've never known
cause know I know
It's all that I wanted

I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I want
to be the minority
I pledge allegiance
to the underworld
One nation under dog
There of which I stand alone
A face in the crowd
Unsung against the mold
Without a doubt
Singled out
The only way I know
I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Casue I want
to be the minority
Stepped out of the line
Like a sheep
runs from the herd
Marching out of time
To my own beat now
The only way I know
One light one mind
Flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a
thousand broken hearts
'For crying out loud'
she screamed unto me
A free for all
Furk 'em all
You are your own sight
I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I want
to be the minority

One light one mind
Flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a
thousand broken hearts
'For crying out loud'
she screamed unto me
A free for all
Furk 'em all
You are your own sight
I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I want
to be the minority
Down with the moral majority
I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority

Virginia was a lot
lizard from F L A
She had a compound
fracture in the trunk
It started when she run away
Thumbs out on the interstate
She hitched a ride to misery
Mr Whirly had a
catastrophic incident
He fell into the
city by the bay
He liquidated his estate
Now he sleeps upon the Height
Panhanding misery
And He's gonna get
high high high
When he's low low low
The fire burns
from better days
And she screams why a why
I said I don't know
Let catastrophic
hymns from yesterday
Of misery

Vinnie was a
hustler out of Amsterdam
He ran the drug
cartel in tinseltown
They found him in a cadillac
Bludgeoned with a
baseball bat in the name
Of misery
Gina hit the
road to New York City
Mysteriously the night
Vinnie croaked
She stopped in Vegas to elope
With Virginia and the dope
And kissed the bride eternally
And they're gonna get
high high high
When they're low low low
The fire burns
from better days
And he screams why a why
I said I don't know
The catastrophic hymns
from yesterday
Of misery

Well Hell hounds on your trail
now once again boy
It's groping on your
leg until it sleeps
The emptiness will
fill your soul with sorrow
Because it's not what you make
it's what you leave

And they're gonna get
high high high
When they're low low low
The fire burns
from better days
And he screams why a why
I said I don't know
The catastrophic hymns
from yesterday
Of misery

Nice guys finish last.
You're running out of gas.
Your sympathy will get you left behind.
Sometimes you're at your best, when you look the worst.
Do you feel washed up, like piss going down the drain

Pressure cooker pick my brain and tell me I'm insane.
I'm so fucking happy I could cry.
Every joke can have its truth and now the joke's on you.
I never knew you were such a funny guy.

Oh nice guys finish last, when you are the outcast.
Don't pat yourself on the back, you might break your spine.

Living on command.
You're shaking lots of hands.
Kissing up and bleeding all your trust, taking what you need.

Bit the hand that feeds.
You kill your memory

Bit the hand that feeds.
You kill your memory

I'm just a mutt
And nowhere is my home
Where dignity's a land mine
In the school of lost hope
I've panhandled for a life because
I'm not afraid to beg
Hand me down your lost and founds
Of second hand regret
You better swallow your pride
Or you're gonna choke on it
You better digest your values
Because they turn to shit
Honor's gonna knock you down
Before your chance to stand up and fight
I know i'm not the one
I got no pride
Sects of disconnection
And traditions of lost faith
No culture's worth a stream of piss
Or a bullet in my face
To hell with unity
Seperation's gonna kill us all
Torn to shreds and disjointed
Before the final fall

Ready for a cheap escape
On the brink of self destruction
Widespread panic
Broken glass inside my head
Bleeding down these thoughts of
Anguish... mass confusion
The world is a sick machine
Breeding a mass of shit
With such a desolate conclusion
Fill the void with... I don't care
There's a plague inside of me
Eating at my disposition
Nothing's left
Torn out of reality
Into a state of no opinion
Limp with hate

Your rise and fall
Back up against the wall
What goes around is coming back and
haunting you
It's time to quit
Cause you ain't worth the shit
Under my shoes or the piss on the ground

No one loves you and you know it
Don't pretend that you enjoy it or you
don't care
Cause now I wouldn't lie or tell you all
the things you want
to hear.
I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU
I HATE YOU

I heard your sick
Sucked on that cancer stick
A throbbing tumor and a radiation high
Shit out of luck
And now your time is up
It brings me pleasure just to know your
going to die

Dickhead, Fuckface, cock smoking, mother
fucking, asshole,
dirty twat, waste of semen, I hope you die HEY

Red eye, code blue
I'd like to strangle you
And watch your eyes bulge right out of your
skull
When you go down
Head first into the ground
I'll stand above you just to piss on your
grave

I see you, down in the front line.
Such a sight for sore eyes, you're a suicide
makeover.
Plastic eyes, lookin' through a numbskull.
Self-effaced, what's his face.
You erased yourself so shut up.
You don't let up.

You have a growth that must be treated
Like a severed severe pain in the neck.
You can smell it but you can't see it.
No explanation identified 'cause you don't know.
You don't say.

And you got no reply.
Hey you, where did you come from?
Got a head full of lead, you're a inbred bastard
son.
All dressed up, red blooded, Amannequin
Do or die, no reply, don't deny that you're
synthetic.
You're pathetic.

I'm all busted up
Broken bones & nasty cuts
ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN
But this time I can't get up
She comes to check on me
MAKING sure I'm on my knees
After all she's the one who put me in this state

Is she ULTRA-VIOLENT ?
Is she DISTURBED ?
I better tell her that I LOVE her
Before she does it all over again
OH GOD, SHE'S KILLING ME !!!

For now I'll lie around
HELL, that's all I can really do
She takes good care of me
Just keep saying my LOVE is TRUE

Is she ULTRA-VIOLENT ?
Is she DISTURBED ?
I better tell her that I LOVE her
Before she does it all over again
OH GOD, SHE'S KILLING ME !!!

Looking out my window for
Someone that's passing by
No one knows I'm LOCKED in here
All I do is cry

For now I'll lie around
HELL, that's all I can really do
She takes good care of me
Just keep saying my LOVE is TRUE

We're living in repetition.
Content in the same old shtick again.
Now the routine's turning to contention,
Like a production line going over and over and
over, roller
coaster.

Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice.
I'm speechless and redundant.
'Cause I love you's not enough.
I'm lost for words.

Choreographed and lack of passion.
Prototypes of what we were.
Went full circle 'til I'm nauseous.
Taken for granted now.
Now I waste it, faked it, ate it, now i hate it.

Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice.
I'm speechless and redundant, 'cause I love
you's not enough.
I'm lost for words, now I cannot speak.

Who the hell are to tell me
What I am and what's my master plan
What makes you think that it includes you
Self-righteous wealth stop flattering yourself

So when the smoke clears here I am
You're reject all-American
Sucking up your social sect
Making you a nervous wreck
To hell and back and hell again I've gone
You're not my type
You're not my type

What's the difference between you and me
I do what I want and you do what you're told
So listen up shut the hell up
It's no big deal and I'll see you in hell

So when the smoke clears here I am
You're reject all-American
Sucking up your social sect
Making you a nervous wreck
To hell and back and hell again I've gone
You're not my type
You're not my type
You're not my type
You're not my type

So when the smoke clears here I am
You're reject all-American
Fallen from grace right on my face
To hell and back and hell again I've gone

Roaming 'round your house
WASTING YOUR TIME
No obligation, just
WASTING YOUR TIME
So why are you alone ?
WASTING YOUR TIME
When you could be with me
WASTING YOUR TIME

I'm a WASTE like you
With nothing else to do
May I WASTE your time too ?

Warding off regrets
WASTING YOUR TIME
Smoking cigarettes
WASTING YOUR TIME
I'm just a PARASITE
WASTING YOUR TIME
APPLYING myself to
WASTING YOUR TIME

So why are you alone ?
WASTING YOUR TIME
When you could be with me
WASTING YOUR TIME

I'm a WASTE like you
With nothing else to do
May I WASTE your time too ?

*Open the past and present
Now and we are there
Story to tell and I am listening
Open the past and present
And the future, too
It's all I've got and I'm giving it up to you

Loose ends tied in knots leaving a lump down in my throat
Gagging on a souvenir
Lodged to fill another year
Well, drag it on and on until my skin is ripped to shreds
Leaving myself open wide
Living out a sacrifice

*Repeat

If you got no one
And I've got no place to go
Would it be alright?
Could it be alright?

Well, I've got some scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor
Reminds me of the times we shared
Makes me wish that you were here
'Cause now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life
Well, all the songs have been erased
Guess I've learned from my mistakes

*Repeat
It's all I've got and I'm giving it up to you

You come around every now and then
Your clothes are different,
but you're still the same
Why else would you come here?
Scumbag on a mission

You're telling me it's been a while
Shinning a grin and a brand new life
Somebodys let you come here
Scumbag with ambission

Never though I'd see the like of you around this place
What's the special occasion?
Did you run outta friends?

Hear you are, come around again
Things are different butcha still pretend
You gotta reason to come here?
Scumbag with ambission

And, you're telling me, things will change
And you'll leaving in a couple days
You're gonna change the world someday
Scumbag with a vision

It must be nice to know you got it all figured out
From the wear of sin
It's the same thing again and again

Have you ever stopped and thinked,
before you opened up your mouth?
Beacuase everytime you do,
It's the same thing again and again

She screams in silence
A sullen riot penetrating through her mind
Waiting for a sign to smash
the silence with the of self control

* Are you locked up in a world
that's been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you

She's figured out all her doubts
Were someone else's point of view
Waking up this time to smash
the silence with the brick of self control

* Repeat x 2

She...
She screams in silence
A sullen riot penetrating through her mind
Wait...
Wait for a sign
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control

Are you locked up in a world
Thats been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?

Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you

She...
She's figured out
All her doubts were someone else's point of view
We...
Walking up this time
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control

Are you locked up in a world
Thats been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?

Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you

EHHHHHH,AHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Are you locked up in a world
Thats been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?

Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you

Standing on the corner of
Stuart and the avenue
Ripping up my transfer
And a photograph of you
You're a blur of my dead past and rotting existance
As I stand laughing on the corner of insignificance
Destiny is dead
In the hands of bad luck
Before it might have made some sense
But now it's all fucked up
Seasons change as well as minds
And i'm a two faced clown
You're mommy's little nightmare
Driving daddy's car around
I'm beat down and half brain dead
The long lost king of fools
I may be dumb
But i'm not stupid enough to stay with you

I'm not part of your elite
I'm just alright
Class structure waving colors
Bleeding from my throat
Not subserviant to you i'm just alright
Down classed by the powers that be
Give me loss of hope
Cast out... buried in a hole
Struck down... forcing me to fall
Destroyed... giving up the fight
I know i'm not alright
What's my price and will you pay it if it's alright?
Take it from my dignity
Waste it until it's dead
Throw me back into the gutter
'cause it's alright
Find another pleasure fucker
Drag them down to hell

You pushed me once too far again
I'd like to break you fucking teeth.
Stick a knife in the center of your back.
You better grow some eyes in the back of your
head.
I fight dirty, just like your looks.
Can't take, can't take, can't take anymore.

Take back, Take back, Take.

The taste of bad blood on the tip of my tongue.
An eye for an eye.
Gun for a gun.

Cold-cocked and I'm taking back what's mine.
Expect it when you're least expecting it.
No loss of love, the smell of regret.
Lights out
Can't take anymore

Shit

I was a young boy that had big plans.
Now I'm just another shitty old man.
I don't have fun and I hate everything.
The world owes me, so fuck you.

Glory days don't mean shit to me.
I drank a six pack of apathy.
Life's a bitch and so am I.
The world owes me, so fuck you.

Wasted youth and a fustful of ideals.
I had a young and optimisitic point of view.
Wasted youth and a fustful of ideals.
I had a young and optimisitic point of view.

I've decomposed, yet my gut's getting fat.
Oh my god I'm turning out like my dad.
I'm just a grouch sitting on the couch.
The world owes me, so fuck you.

The wife's a nag and the kid's fucking up.
I don't have sex `cause i can't get it up.
I'm always rude.
I've got a bad attitude.
The world owes, so fuck you.

Cheapskate on the hill
A thrill seeker making deals
Sugar city urchin wasting time
Town of lunatics
Begging for another fix
Turning tricks for speedballs
One more night
Making your rounds once again
Turning up empty handed
Bumming a ride
Burning daylight
Last up at dawn... tight wad hill
Drugstore hooligan
Another white trash mannequin
On display to rot up on the hill
Living out a lie
But having the time of his life
Hating every minute of his existance

I got a new start on a dead end road
Peaked, peaked out on reaching new lows
Owe I paid off all my debts to myself
Perfect picture of bad health
Another notch scratched on my belt
The future's in my living room

Uptight
I'm a nag with a gun
All night
Suicide's last call
I've been uptight all night
I'm a son of gun

I've been waiting for a long time
For this moment to come
I'm destined
For anything at all
Downtown lights will be shining
On me like a diamond
Ring out under the midnight hour
No one can touch me now
And I can't turn my back
It's too late ready or not at all
I'm so much closer than
I have ever known
Wake up
Dawning of a new era
Calling don't let it
catch you falling
Ready or not at all
So close enough to taste it
Alomost I can embrace this
Feeling on the tip of my tongue
I'm so much closer than
I have ever known
Wake up

Better thank your lucks stars

Where I'm so much closer than
I have ever known
Wake up

Better thank your lucks stars

I've been waiting for a long time
For this moment to come
I'm destined for anything at all
Dumbstruck
Colour me stupid
Good luck
You're gonna need it
Where I'm going if I get there
At all
Wake up
Better thank your lucky stars

Come together like a foot in a shoe
Only this time I think I stuck my foot in my mouth
Thinking out loud and acting in vain
Knocking over anyone that stands in my way

Sometimes I need to apologize
Sometimes I need to admit that I ain't right
Sometimes I should just keep my mouth
Or only say hello
Sometimes I still feel I'm walking alone

Walk on eggshells on my old stomping ground
Yet there's really no one left that's hanging around
Isn't that another familiar face
Too drunk to figure out they're fading away

Sometimes I need to apologize
Sometimes I need to admit that I ain't right
Sometimes I should just keep my mouth
Or only say hello
Sometimes I still feel I'm walking alone

Sometimes I need to apologize
Sometimes I need to admit that I ain't right
Sometimes I should just keep my mouth
Or only say hello
Sometimes I still feel I'm walking alone

Do as I say not as I do because
The shit so deep you can't run away
I beg to differ on the contrary
I agree with every word that you say
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive
My wallet's fat and so is my head
Hit and run and then i'll hit you again
I'm a smart ass but i'm playing dumb
Standards set and broken all the time
Control the chaos behind a gun
Call it as I see it even if
I was born deaf, blind and dumb
Losers winning big on the lottery
Rehab rejects still sniffing glue
Constant refutation with myself
I'm a vicitm of a catch 22
I have no belief
But I believe
I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't got no right

Do as I say not say as I do because
The shit so deep you can't run away

Dear mother,
Can you hear me whining ?
It's been three whole weeks
Since I left your home
This sudden fear has left me trembling
Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone

Pay attention to the cracked streets
And broken homes
Some call it the slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise

A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go

Pay attention to the cracked streets
And broken homes
Some call it the slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise

Dear mother, can you hear me laughing
It's been six whole months since
I have left your home
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go

Pay attention to the cracked streets
And broken homes
Some call it the slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise

Boxed up
All of her favorite things
Sold the rest at a rainy yard sale
Big plans and leaving friends and
A westbound sign
Weighed out
Her choices on a scale
Prevailing nothing made sense
Just transportation and a
Blank decision... she's taking off
No time and no copping out
She's burning daylight and petrol
Blacked out the rearview mirror
Heading westward on
Strung out
On confusion road
And ten minute nervous breakdowns
Xanex a beer for thought
And she determined... she's taking off
Is it salvation ?
Or an escape from discontent ?
Will she find her name
In the california cement ?
Punched out of the grind
That punched her one too many times...
Is tragedy 2000 miles away ?
She's taking off

I heard you crying loud,
all the way across town
You've been searching for that someone,
and it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself
Don't get lonely now
Dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment
Sleazin' my back yard so don't get so uptight
you been thinking about ditching me

* No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around

I heard it all before
So don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser
to try and slag me down because I know I'm right
So go do what you like
Make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your selfdoubt means nothing
was ever there
You can't go forcing something if it's just
not right

* Repeat x 2

When I come around
When I come around
When I come around

Another sentimental argument and bitter love.
Fucked without a kiss again and dragged it
through the mud.
Yelling at brick walls and punching windows made
of stone.
The worry rock has turned to dust and fallen on
our pride.

A knocked down dragged out fight.
Fat lips and open wounds.
Another wasted night and no one will take the
fall.

Where do we go from here?
And what did you do with the directions?
Promise me no dead end streets
And I'll guarantee we'll have the road.
