It's negativ
Iwish you the worst dear, to feel the gratest pain A posetiv You say it's all in vain I know I felt and I won't feel again Iknow you Refrain: Hours of madness, years of dysfunction, the deepest embitterment No will to strive or achieve, finally it break down Perpetual fall on your knees, as you crawl back to me It ends like thisI can hope for bliss, if you fail again 'Cause I'm right here, to witness every step And when you trip, I will cherish it Refrain I live to watch you fail, I live to watch you fail I live to watch you fail, I am the wind in your sail I wish you the worst dear, to feel the greatest pain 'Cause I'm right here, to retrieve all you stole Every tear, and everything you own I wish you Hours of madness, years of dysfunktion, the deepest embitterment No will to trust everyoneThis is how I lived, this is how you left me blue And I'd crawl back to you. |

Maybe you don't understand it, what keeps them awake at night
What goes through their little minds when you turn off the light? Always having to say sorry tears are stained on the pillow Like the light of the moon they can't be one Can't exist without the son Let's think clearly for a while Can he shine without a smile? Why am I alone with no one to be found? Looks like they know what's best for me Why doesn't anybody like me, I don't understand? Guess I'll have to crawl inside and I don't know why I'm sitting by myself, when the problem isn't mine Been around the block a few times, been beat up by all his friends Learing life is like a maze that never seems to end Like an open book, blank pages left for only him to write Life is short this chapter takes so long Can't tell the right from the wrong It's so hard for you to place An expression on his face Why am I alone with no one to be found? Looks like they know what's best for me Why doesn't anybody like me, I don't understand? Guess I'll have to crawl inside and I don't know why I'm sitting by myself, when the problem isn't mine Why doesn't anybody like me, I don't understand Why my friends and family left me At six years old he won't be taught a meaning to this mess He'll just have to take a guess, and make his own plan And we'll never see the child that was forced to be a man |

Now it's simple to me
Sometimes you have to let go when there's Next to nothing You say everytime she says no There's more pain then love It comes o shove almost Everytime you speak Somehow you fight Something's just crazy Somehow it's taking all the life left in you You'er losing ground Carrying that torch Your not asking for much As she has... Had time to heal And she doesn't need you any longer an you... Had time to drink And you call her to tell her you've gotten much stronger At three in the morning she says stop calling cause... Everyone's asleep Some of us work You're driving me crazy When will you get on with my life Now every nights Friday night Picking fights with your friends Somehow trying to make amends So you seach for comfort in a friend It's not the same she won't understand You both learned to think alike So what was so wrong Where's she tonight Out there drinking while you're left in thinking It's taken all the life left in... You You're losing ground Carrying that torch You're not asking for much Still somehow You'll wait for her You say she'll return But you still carry that torch That girl |

It's 2:37 pm I want to go to the store to buy some sunflower seeds
in case I got nothing to do tonight I like kids So I'm walking to the store and the neighbor's kid runs into me with a tricycle After I kicked the brat off the bike I walk into a pile of shit After that I hit my head on a stop sign so I cross the street and stumble into the store I feel like shit, I live in a ditch. My life is hell; my house smells It's 3:14 as I get into the store Walking down the frozen food section I touch the frozen burritos I pass the deli department and put my fingers in some free sample cheese dip I finally see the sunflower seed aisle There it is. The gleamy view My savory nighttime entertainment He never has any friends He doesn't care about what happens If you see him walking down the street then hide your kids and toss the key There is a guy they call him the weirdo He went to the store to buy sunflower seeds I know a guy and they call him the weirdo He doesn't care about you or me! |

There is a man I know
Who lives across the street Every time I sit down at the table He surveys what I eat He's watching out for crime To happen any time He's always minding someone's business And the business is usually mine He's making sure that I don't have fun Because he lives alone He's watching in the darkness of his home... WATCHING YOU, WATCHING ME Six remote controls So he can sit back on his ass and watch the world from his perch by the window, on the other side of the glass He says he's looking out for me but why can't he just see? Just because he has nobody He has to bother me...Watching me!!! |

(Unable to transform our fate) We follow whatever path grows (Directions no one knows) Given the choice for normalcy You seem content in who you've come to be They said he re-installed his plague (Said to have re-vamped that limp vein) As if it all ends formulaic (Painless escape) We share the same virus of love and hope And it's a fleeting beauty You did everything you could You were there for him through bad and good So disappear before you follow suit The parasites, they are still there to swallow you Beating through an obtrude chest Every emotive plea's a stretch No praise enough to build a life (No words to instill pride) And through your life disorder rides I did everything I could Mostly there for him through bad and good I disappeared as always waiting for the born-again call The one that signals to us all This bender's over again Listen for one last faint heartbeat (Holding his hand in hopes he breathes) All of those sad years have come to this (Your head lay on his sunken chest) The thought of you at his deathbed The latest virus in my head Unjust, unjust Selfless you tended to our ghost Katherine an unconditional untiring host Well you were there for him when he needed you the most I hope someone restores your heart I hope something restores your world |

When did you get so hard and callous? Things are good today But I think I've had enough Here comes the part where you turn off the switch Everyone's dumb, Taking the wind out of your sails Victory claimed, this is your song How will you sleep when you're alone, when they are gone? Over and over just like a broken toy Heard all exuses, what makes you do it? You pedal back for miles, just to claim your prize He is the exit, to your home built on lies Nothing is true How can you expect them to stay? Undefeated, who did you burn?

I know they'd like I remember every drunken night at the old dive Driving the ol'wreck Trying to make it home somehow One more pit stop at our favorite watering hole The ghost of Christmas past swallowed all our pride We'd open up our story books and water down the eyes our demons raised their glasses singing "I propose a toast to my friends" Who's buying the next round Cup half empty Cup half full Perspectives and beers They weren't failure Just the regulars of my favorite year They come and go paying their toll From mobiles homes Decaying old unsound minds The ghost of Cristmas failure dancing to the click of time The beating of defeat Shaking in his hands a lifetime of retreat And his regrets were ours A time to say good-bye I've been waiting so long for you to call my old friend To all my friends... |

Try to believe the words that you said to me are true but something else assures me I'm not through been denied so many times and so I'm told to sit back and ignore the truth, enjoy the ride Never took a hand with her to school take a guess then tell us who's the fool and you're not supposed to be my responsibility maybe someday you'll regain your pride and realize life is too short not to try...

Try to believe the words that you said to me are true but something else assures me I'm not through been denied so many times and so I'm told to sit back and ignore the truth, enjoy the ride Never took a hand with her to school take a guess then tell us who's the fool and you're not supposed to be my responsibility maybe someday you'll regain your pride and realize life is too short not to try... Does anybody care? |

Here's another, drink to cover,
Every word you say. Fine excuses, It wasn't you then, Sorry, my mistake. So here comes the part, Where the stunt double plays. You ask somebody else to take the fall and blame. Building bridges, Playing with matches, Burning yourself down. Find the exit, Before they get it, Take the easy way out. So here comes the part, Where your stunt double plays, You have somebody else I think we imitate. Here comes the part where your stunt double plays, You ask somebody else to take the fall and blame. |

Can't you see
we the people can make the choices You and I must raise our voices To build a future where we belong Revoke oppression and right and wrong But do you vote or do you only complain Do you just carry on in vain As your economy crashes, your country goes to war The deficit Their answer to tax the poor But you may never know what you refuse to learn Do you work the system or do you get burned? Do you ignore your abilities or your intellect? Are you obse An easy out, you forget it all but it's the hardest path and you chase to follow You wouldn't speak for yourself and now you're spoken for This is something you can not ignore It's time for you to notice the things that die with no more lies You can't deny You're always high and you still bitch Makes me sick It makes me sick the way you always fuckin' bitch I remember a time when I thought it wasn't fair The scales of justice did impair but with no darkness theere would never be light there would never be light Without injustice we'd never have a right |

Friday night's the perfect night to mow some neighbor's lawn,
And Dave is drunk and at the helm before too long. And Chris will gladly ride shotgun, 'cause navigating seems like fun, Drunk and out of gas, they drive around and crash. They're driving through your yard, there's nothing you can do, Dave's behind the wheel, and he's had more than just a few. Suburban families slumber in civility, Awakened to the sights and sounds of the yard they're blowing down in their death machine. Drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive... Dave's a midnight landscaper, and he's working overtime, And he is full throttle--full throttle tonight. (Alright!) He was almost home, just one more block, he had to hit that last mailbox, Dumped it in a ditch, ain't that a bitch? (Stoking the neighbors!) Came time to run, came time to bail, He was having too much fun to spend the night in jail. He had no "Triple A" for a tow truck, Called them anyway: Goleta, hear them say, "Hey pal, you're fucked!" Dave's a decent guy, like most of us, until he drinks, And then his liquid mind takes over how he thinks. And then all that matters is having fun, pulling off the next beer run, On one too many nights, the party's over. He's driving through your yard, there's nothing you can do, Dave's behind the wheel, and he's had more than one or two.

I can pretend for you, that I mean every word said it's true
That I'd probably rather be like a stranger in disguise And act as if nothing ever.. Died or faded away, got lonelier with age And time isn't on our side I'm sorry to take the thoughts that keep you awake And make it seem like they're overrated You certainly talk about me more when I fall down And when I get up, my time is never enough Loved in front behind my back hated I guess it has everything to do with luck I can defend the truth but I sound like white noise to my friends As I raise my glass to you In a stupor we speak words That couldn't be more honest Lies we lived before are fights without a war I'm dead when it's in your head I'm starting to think that all the buoys we sink Are cutting our chances of being saved I see that the end is all we have to let us know I'd like to believe in something more than a dream For when the will to be one has faded I guess the truth will soon be deceived My friend that isn't there, My solitaire. |

Packing up the pictures in an old shoe box
It's so silent I can almost hear you walk Down the hall standing in front of that window If heaven is so high, then why are you so low? Does it feel, that you're taking back the love that made him real In the darkness you will always see his face And I could never take the place of him Today I'm sleeping in Woke up it's too late and I should be in school There's always something wrong when you ignore the rules Never want to see myself in front of that window Sucking up your tears, didn't want to let me know too much Reaching out your hand for one last touch Take me with you, everybody here is fake And I don't wanna feel the same when you give in In a lifetime, time will always take our place But I will lay here shielded from the pain This is a long time from today You gave me all that I could take And gave me strength to carry on In the darkness, you will always see his face And I don't wanna be there when you do, give in In a lifetime, time will always take our place And I will lay here shielded from the pain I do whatever I want, you never let me down I always know when lost somehow you're found Although life has all thse consequences now And that's OK, and that's OK |

Out be the ounce the drugs and alcohol was free Or maybe it was your imagination Friend of the family but now the foe She gets inside your mind with everything you smoke That's why your conspiracy comes from some words she spoke The rain is controlled by misty Who's one but feels like three She always has to be behind every little problem I face I'd drive to Ireland but there's a lake between the land She hired private eyes to follow me Maybe I'll go to Paris and France And meet the Pope and someone to be with for life A place far away where she could never find us here Everything bad is a "misty" She's hiding in that tree I'm swimming at the beach and she's got submarines and high technology She runs my life and in my dreams at night And everywhere I go I'm always six degress, from misty |

Back in history in the roaring 20's there was a law called prohibition
No one was to drink or make alcohol Today in the 90's we have a new law People getting mugged by strung out junkie thugs Legalize Drugs People getting shot and you know it's over pot Legalize Drugs. Drugs. Legalize Drugs. History repeats that sure is the truth But does America learn from its not so distant past We have a new problem facing us today Let's take the opportunity and blow it all away People spreading AIDS because of addictive ways Legalize Drugs People needing crack might just stab you in the back Legalize Drugs. Drugs. Legalize Drugs. So now you might be saying Drugs are for losers I don't really care about the substance abusers But one day when you come home and all your things are gone you might change your mind and learn to sing this song Now let's get one thing straight, we want to let you know We're not telling you to do Drugs before or after the show We want to put an end to the murders and the crimes We believe that people should use their own minds! |

Sitting in the lazy chair, the channels look the same I realize that the roof is stable and start to feel ashamed it's cold outside but don't ask me the weather's fine in here ask the man around the corner who lives his life in fear Two hundred pennies, forty ounces later he's okay he doesn't have the pressure to think about the next day but I bet it's something cold and hard and grey Complaining and whining all the time, I never seem to quit always lying to myself, a shoe that seems to fit never is a long time and it feels like I'm a clock ticking like a time bomb, someday soon his life will stop I listen to the radio but nothing good is on my friends are calling up but I'm pretending that I'm gone we're all pieces in a chess game, he's a pawn I wonder how it turned out like this, no one seems to care the scale has tipped me fortunate is this what we call fair? but I've never had the mind to no it, never had the guts to show it I know one thing, his dream is my nightmare |

Like others getting close are aliens, in disguise They smell conspiracy on the lips of dearest friends Reminds me of a time long ago, They think it's the end Of what we all created, used to love but now we hate it Life is as simple as the mind it lives in The truth is a waste of time, when we're conditioned to understand Lies are the right was as we watch the blind leading the blind Everything that we see is another's suffering Learn to enjoy the message the TV is delivering You're safe being the glass like being at the zoo The face of guilty thoughts turns around and looks just like you Don't want be another, victim but you watch them suffer Organized, de-sensitized and trained To wake up at 6 AM, go to work come home and in bed by ten When the feeling is safe and warm Horrified by any change, living by consensus destroys us Paints pretty pictures at the same time will do us more harm |

Moments from your end Inconceivable dread Inches from your head I can't bear to imagine you In that horror scene One too sad to be In my mind's eye I am there Embracing you so scared Now you kill me too You killed me too Decidedly willing to lie for you Absolutely willing to cry for you Ill at ease in saying goodbye to you A part of me will never know I am there, again, intervals of red An accomplice to Things I couldn't do In a fable disabled I say words like foolish son God what have you done I'm a thin blue clich??????짤, hopelessly I'm a mouthful of doubtful Decidedly willing to lie for you Say again Willing to cry for you Finally saying goodbye to you A part of you I'll never know Looking through the spyglass in a punctured sky While your garden died You couldn't see the sky for your fallen stars Endless in your arms You were still alive even as the sad astronaut |

Just drop the present on the shelf, by the flowers And make the feeling go away Looking back I can't recall, who was listening When I used to walk the streets at night Like a bird that used to sing, I was flying I was happy all the time, and it's hard to look back Better days and different ways I can't explain Another song to sing it all was simplified Don't know what it's about, what have I learned to live without? It takes a day to live a life I can't believe the way the world is so different Look what the lines in my face have made Living in my bed I'm right next to the road The one that goes the other way, takes me to a different place Did you know, that I was just as young as you I had a job, a home, a family, and a car Did you say that yesterday or just right now?

Just drop the present on the shelf, by the flowers And make the feeling go away Looking back I can't recall, who was listening When I used to walk the streets at night Like a bird that used to sing, I was flying I was happy all the time, and it's hard to look back Better days and different ways I can't explain Another song to sing it all was simplified Don't know what it's about, what have I learned to live without? It takes a day to live a life I can't believe the way the world is so different Look what the lines in my face have made Living in my bed I'm right next to the road The one that goes the other way, takes me to a different place Did you know, that I was just as young as you I had a job, a home, a family, and a car Did you say that yesterday or just right now? You'll never know the feeling of my bleeding heart Did you say that yesterday or just right now? You'll never know the feeling of my bleeding heart |

(T. Sly/C. Shiflett/M. Riddle/R. Koff)
Covered up your insecurities with everything showing everyone exactly how you think mad no difference, I can see right through your best disguise you look like someone else, it doesn't matter where you hide You wanna empty clips on everyone around and burn their fortress to the ground Socializing makes you sick from drinking everything and if looks could kill we'd surely all be dead maybe sticks of dynamite would solve your problems now underneath my feet, was it something that I said? You wanna empty clips on everyone around and burn their fortress to the ground Someday soon you'll have your way and everyone will leave you all alone you laugh at everyone's mistakes, trapped inside a mind you call home You wanna empty clips on everyone around and burn their fortress to the ground |

Don't leave me in this room
The walls are closing in This is the space I used to say The line is drawn for you each day But every day you show With sound of caving walls Some day this song will have no pulse And I'll cave alone But there we are Waiting for your answer Your arms speeded elation Beating out your salvation But when the tape stopped you were gone A half measure from home This week I recreate Edit you back into The blare that could define you Coveted by few who knew The phone rings without pause This grief wills everyone All I have is our shitty song How could it ever be enough? Here we are in our final accord A mortician and his tools Sonically bury you You could have chose another chord to resolve on |

Hey, can I borrow that?
I promise I'll give it back next time. But take a good look at it, you'll never see it again. I'll steal anything just as long as it's collectible. But if you steal something better than me, I'll turn you in. Yes, we are record thieves. Existing to please ourselves. If you invite us in, keep watch on you record shelves. If we can't have it, no one can. So if you have something we want, we'll ask to borrow it for |

Looking, laughing, talking all your shit
Wondering if you live your life just so you can fit Could it be real Or you're a fake Nobody's that way ... Give me a fucking break No recognition is what we should give to people like this that tell me how to live The ones who criticize, they gossip and they smile, the people that live the way that they decide This is not a puppet show No one in the world is hanging on a string Take a look around, there are people everywhere They might be doing circles but it's their own thing. |

Did everything that your life said Now you changed your life intentions Ran away from home and shaved your head You were tired of living your life Restricted under your parents wings The weight of the world is on your shoulders You're not running from anything... NOW YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN FAR AWAY FROM HOME You go out at night and thrash To make points on the punk point graph Trying to prove a point to your family Living in a car with a gold spoon in your mouth You get sick, the dirt is thick You return to home where the showers are always free...

I see you clinging, stereotyping just to feel comfort, just to belong
Desperate for meaning to make sense of your life Let me try to make you understand... You got it wrong You're not gonna catch me waving flags over my head Looking straight and standing tall I refuse to build the wall by adding my own bricks That separate us all I'd rather die than be a part of your pride This ain't the homeland they've written books on Never have been there, how would you know Following footsteps that will get you nowhere And living by some rules that were made up one hundred years ago You're not gonna find me digging through my family tree Just to find out who I am I don't need to know that I'm linked to some murderer To live on the same land I'd rather die than be a part of your pride So it looks like I'll be here for a long time now Some things are better left mysteries Can't change the future when living in the past So do what you want and I'll decide my own history |

A knock at the door I open it up in comes the queen
All dressed to perfection awaiting reception but in my mind one thought to flee The look in her eye has crossed paths with mine and stills the last time we met Suppression has started like last when we parted I wish she would just stay away. She's just a power bitch That I already know She's just a power bitch Straight from the depths below She's just a power bitch Domination her game She's just a power bitch I think I'm going insane Now she comes in, flashes the grin seals the door just like my fate Off with her clothes, stone cold I am froze out comes the beast from within Whipping and slashing, kicking and slapping a girl I can't handle, I hope this is all just a dream She's just a power bitch. |

She was corruption when I was destruction
I'm seein' through her eyes like cellophane It used to be I'd see her face and feel so small Now the only face I see is the picture I'm throwing darts at on the wall Where did she go? When loneliness is all I had to show If I couldn't trust her then, who could I trust? The pillow is wet with tears and permanent rust Just when I thought I was out of the dark I'm holding her tight and she breaks the light She was dead in my mind, but her ghost is still around It comes back to haunt me, it doesn't want me It just happened to be passing through my town It took so long to realize the truth I resent every word I said... That's when I knew, one and one don't make two! I knew that sleepless night when she never came home She's probably drinking somewhere knowing I'm alone The road to nowhere is a long winding street Maybe someone will be there at the end, But it won't be me! |

Nothing's changed Nothing's right He has no sense of pride Sees no respect in his parents eyes and why should he care? No one ever cared for him? Wasting her nights and days Sixteen with a child God wouldn't have it any other way And then they told her of shame and that impurity made her bed no fuckin' CHOICE She took two lives instead All these worthless nights Al Down the path I follow you because who am I? Denial I still care but it's my life in despair Laughing harder In self-concious I've played my last solitaire That shirt's too tight to wear Wasting my days nad nights Nothings changed Nothings right I know I'm not exactly the parents guide to living but it's the road less traveled in this world so unforgiving and I've lost count of score |

Scaling the mountain, I have given up my pride
and I'm clinging to this rocky edge, a rose thorn in my side It's fabled contradiction, it's bitter sweet and blind And I'm balancing the mountain of compromise I went over the hill to be with you I went over the hill I am over the hill to be with you Am I holding on to lies or holding onto life? Standing in position objectivity goes by 'cause it's hard to ignore losing when you're winning all the time and the weight of this too heavy, the ceiling far too low This commitment is restraining and I can't grow I went over the hill, over the hill I am over the hill to be with you Am I holding on to life or holding onto lies? In retrospect in your absence my disposition's gone as I close my eyes to search for treasure in what I once lost I let go of the noose and breath again I am falling from the game and mending a foot (?) |

Everyone's changed, "Everyone's cool", Everyone sucks But I can't seem to complain, Exciting and new is just not there You're getting scared I'm not your savior, never thought I was anyway I'm a void with empty promises that backs out late Never said I'd change, taking back the words that we spoke Like a fuel tank running dry, you'll believe it when I choke |

He lived and died poor a father of four He left his family temporarily for a future based on words of chicanery They said join the Army Join the Navy He joined the Marines and his children were proud but exhaltation was exhausted and patronage died when this expendable number left his family of five Imposture and all that man wanted was to provide a better existence for his kids and wife An investment that cost him his life A family of ethics has... A fatality of war can't be noble enough to justify the loss of life so young Continental security Atonement, there's no such thing There was no hero in the end Only letters of resent, remorse, regret Bitter resent Imposture and all those boys wanted was to be alive, a return of existence yet so many died and those who returned were alone with nothing awaiting at home Again the headlines read "A Noble Soldier Finds A Noble Ending" They are the ones who can be done without Expendable numbers forgott no doubt A family of ethics has died |
