- 'Merican
We flipped our finger to the king of england
Stole our country from the indians
With god on our side and guns in our hands
We took it for our own
A nation dedicated to liberty
Justice and equality
Does it look that way to you?
It doesn't look that way to me
- Ace
I see tha anger in the back of your eyes
I know the vengeance running through your mind
You're up on the cross with a heart full of nails
Hanging your head whenever you fail
* You're thinking. Now's the time
You keep saying. Now's the time
But you still keep standing still
- All-O-Gistics
Thou shalt not commit laundry
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's food
Thou shalt not create ties with the scathed
Thou shalt always go for greatness
Thou shalt not commit adulthood
Thou shalt not partake of Decaf
Thou shalt not suppress flatulence
Thou shalt commit thyself to an institution
- Anchor Grill
Love in our hearts, we didn't know the world is complicated
Gleam in our eyes, time would show just what our love was made of
Who knew the way things work in this world we've made for ourselves?
Where I work myself to death, and you raise the kids
Can't we try to amend our path of struggle for a while?
To pretend our lives are free and carefree still?
- Blast Off
Stay away from the chili verde
Unless you want to get blown away
Treat the spider with a little respect
You take the heat - it's gonna bite back
Blast off at Cape Canaveral
Toilet seat is your launching pad
- Cameage
I'm looking straight down
I'm sick and I need a friend
I didn't know they came like that
I'm thinking things now
I thought I'd never think
I didn't know they came like that
You came so quickly right in and out of my life
- Can't Go Back
* It's not like you said it was
Nothing like you said it was
It's a dirty old place and I can't go back
It's not like you said it was
Nothing like you said it was
I've been misused and I can't go back
** It's a dirty old place and it's full of lies
And I can't see a thing through virgin's eyes
- Catalina

- Caught
Hear about the president?
He used to smoke pot
He never broke the law
Cause he never got caught
It's a sign of the times, it's the ultimate crime
Guilty of being caught red handed
The roll of the dice says your gonna do time
- Christmas Vacation
You were depressed you were really messed up
You know I understand
But why did you not talk to me
Why didn't you help me prepare for the nightmare
You took a vacation into oblivion
You were so low and I felt like I didn't know you
Christmas vacation you took a vacation from me
- clean sheets
Clean sheets mean a lot to a guy who sleeps on the floor
I wanted your love, and a shelf in your dresser drawer
you tucked me in, stopped my tossing and turning
But I turned back the covers and saw those sheets are dirty
Even though you'll never come clean
you know it's true
Those sheets are dirty
- Cool To Be You
I don't believe in unity
it's just one more abandoned dream
once the people get together it's easy to see
it's just a matter of time til they come after me
but it must be pretty cool to be you
with your brothers at your back, protecting you
it must be pretty cool to know you belong
- Coolidge
I'm not a cool guy anymore
As if I ever was before
I took a look at all the signs
Then rolled it over in my mind
The feelings I could not release
Became a bitter part of me
What was I thinking of?
It couldn't stay the way it was
- Dog and Pony Show
Another night of maybe and almost
Abandoned in a land of passing ghosts
Just a lot of sad people forgive them Lord
They don't care what they do…
Or who they do it to
At the Dog and Pony Show
- Dreams
Why do I daydream?
Why do I get my hopes up at all?
I've been living this Walter Mitty life
For too long
Somebody save me
I'm a prisoner of my own fear
Sometimes fantasy is the only
- Dry Spell
If it was for me, I thought it would come so easy
I never realized life - just a series of lows
and highs
I just wanna create, it doesn't matter how I
do it
Nobody ever said there's nothing to it Goosebumps been gone for way too long Couldn't get it for free, couldn't do
it for the money
It just disappeared - spent a lot of barren
- Everything Sux
got up this morning to make some coffee
everything sucks today
prayed someone hired a hitman to off me
everything sucks today
got up on the wrong side of life this morning
nothin today is gonna go my way
horoscope told me lies this morning
i don't think anything is gonna be okay
- Get The Time
When I get the time
I'd like to sit down
and write a little rhyme for you
Just a couple few
I'd tell you what you mean to me
When I get the time
I'd put it all down
- Here With Me
Wet sand on a foggy beach, the sky is gray
You would call it a perfect day
And naturally I'd have to agree
If you were here with me
When I'm hanging out with all my friends
Something still holds back my smile
Something tells me they're the enemy - the enemy
- Hope
Why can't you see you torture me
You're already thinking about someone else
When he comes home
You'll be in his arms and I’ll be gone
But I know my day will come
I know someday I’ll be the only one
So now you wait for his spark
- I Don't Want To Grow Up
I don't want to grow up
I don't want to grow up
If growing up means being like you
Then I don't want to be like you
Recycled trash
It's deja vu
I don't want to grow up
- I Wanna Be a Bear
[Verse 1]
Got your Jourdache jeans
Got your pretty long hair
Dinner and a movie, powder your nose
Take their honey for a lay
Just like pay
You're just a human being on this planet
You're just flesh and blood like all the rest
- I'm Not a Punk
I'm not a punk; how can I be?
Show me the way to conformity.
Try to be different, but it's always the same.
End up playin' someone else's game.
I'm just a square goin' nowhere.
I'm just a square goin' nowhere.
- I'm the One
I'm the one
I've been here for you all along
I'm the one
Who's shoulder you've been crying on
Nice guys finish last no one knows as good as me
We're just good friends and you come for me for sympathy
You tell me that I'm not your type
- In Love This Way
I'm lonely today, won't you come out to play
When I'm with you all the world goes away
Your smile and your eyes, they keep me alive
Your voice is a bell that massages my mind
And it make me wonder
And it makes me sad
And it makes me nervous
- It's A Hectic World
It's a hectic world and it makes me a nervous wreck
It's a hectic world and I've got no intellect
It's a rat race, God what a race
It's a rat race, it's a disgrace
You gotta keep up with the crowd
If you can't be quiet then you gotta be loud
It's a rat race, it's a rat race, it's a rat race
Hey! You!
- Jean Is Dead
Wake up early, mad at you
Got to school, but where are you
You should have told me
I should have known
But now you're gone
And I'm alone
Your mother told me
Last night on the phone
- Kabuki Girl

- M-16
Go shoot your M-16 (x 4)
I'm not going to live your American Dream!
"Army life is right for me
Kill to save democracy
Got a rebel in my sights
Money's worth more than his life."
So kill. . .it's fun!
Shoot him you're better than him
- Marriage
Do you know what I think about you?
Do you know what I feel is true?
Do you know what I think about her?
I know she thinks about me, I'm sure
Don't know why it's so, but it's true
So you know what I think about you
But do you know what you want me to do?
When you see me staring at you
- Mr. Bass
mr. bass lies waiting in his kelpy room waiting, til comes doom he comes and then ne goes he sees orca and then he knows i can see mr. bass, he's on my wall i can taste mr. bass, he's on my wall i can smell mr. bass tomorrow we finished the island with a broken motor they were biting at alarming rate mr. bass, he was irate [Chorus] mr. bass takes a beating billy boy must keep eating old pat he must be burning look's like his stomach's turning he feeds on the centipedes he lies behind in a greenish hue he'll eat whatever, he'll even eat you mr. bass, he knows my hook 'cause i've been reading them bassin' books [Chorus]
- My Dad Sucks
Judgement time again, who's on the shit list this time around
Whose friends can we pick and tell them how to live
Value judgement hide, it's a-comin' our way
He's just a jerk himself, tryin' to hurt his own
He goes to the bar to get his girl
But the rich he's got ain't what it's worth
Says he need his little sexual push
Says two in the hand's worth one in the bush
- My World

- Nothing With You
I don't wanna move
I'll just sit here in my living room
And see what's on the tube
While I'm hanging out with you
People knock on my door
Ringing my phone
Telling me the things I gotta get done today
- Original Me
Mirror, mirror please believe
I need to find a sign
All of my life's spent wondering
Whose hiding behind this face of mine
Confusion, illusion, a misinterpretation
Of the original me
I need a sign, a simple chime
A windblown kiss across my mind
- Parents
Descendents
"Parents"
parents, why won't they shut up?
parent's they're so fucked up
they treat me like a tool
they take me for a fool
parents...
- Pep talk
It's not the end of the world
Since your baby left you
It's gonna be okay
You don't need her anyway
You're looking around for someone to love
So you don't have to face the world alone
But give it some time and you might find
- Sad state of affairs
It’s such a sad state of affairs, and I don’t care
A sad state of affairs
It’s such a sad state of affairs – I don’t care
Look at things long enough until they go away
But they’re still there, aren’t they?
And each little insect doesn’t make me angry
And the dirt in the sink gets washed down the drain
- Schizophrenia
It's dark outside, I'm riding alone But I know the road Can't even see ahead of my nose But I know the road A little scared, but I know where to go Cuz I know the road I can do it by feel, take it real slow I know the road Hold on--a fork in the road Life in transition Hold on--moving too fast In the wrong direction Hold on--gotta feel the road Know my position Break the speakers, crack the books Over you shoulder, not another look Burn off the shackles of a wooden past Melt through the ice, be free at last Dare to be stupid, dare to smell You can be crazy, you can be hell The end result is always the same Whichever you choose, you lose--you're insane Granite poured into my veins Black hole explodes in my brain The accident is to blame You say you're going insane Say it like you mean it, man I wish I could, but I can't You say that life is a pain It isn't for me, man I don't feel anything at all Shield myself from the world Hold everything inside Fold my arms across my chest Shield the world from myself Make sure the sleeves are tied Wrap my arms across my chest Death is my life Life is my Death Lay my arms across my chest I know the road, I know where it goes I know the road, I know where it goes Don't tell me what I already know I know where it goes, that's why I'm going so slow
- She Don't Care
I get up every morning
And make a coffee like I've always done
She won't look in my eyes
What has our love become?
Try talking about it (We talked about it)
We talk around it
And never get nowhere
- She Loves Me
She loves me; it's not just in my head.
She loves me even though it's not been said,
And if anything means anything, then this means something good.
I guess I'd love her back if I only could.
She loves me; I can see it when she smiles ear-to-ear.
She loves me, and I'm sure that she can't hear
How I scream out for someone else
- Sick-O-Me
New love, new fun, new me
Isn't that the way it's supposed to be?
New fear, nothing's clear to me
And that's how it's always gonna be
I've never been real sure of myself
Never trusted someone else
Something you do puts my fears to rest
- Silly Girl
Started on a summer Sunday
Your pink dress on the setting sun
You were going to Grandma's house, I was too scared to come
My silly girl, I'm beggin you
Tell me all the things that I want to hear
My silly girl, I'm in love with you
- Smile
I can see your pain has left you locked up, beat down
I can see the fear has made you desperate, burnt out
Too much regret and shattered hope
Sent you slipping down that slope
All I can do is lend a hand
Be a friend again
- Statue of Liberty
Well the people walk all around
The thing on an island very far from here
They pay it homage like a god
And they paint it on each and every year
A sign for all it was given to us
And we all appreciate this bomb
The toursits don't know and never will
It has no use it's meaning is gone
- Suburban Home
I want to be stereotyped
I want to be classified
I want to be a clone
I want a suburban home
Suburban home
Suburban home
Suburban home
I want to be a statistic
- Talking
Talking about our life
No matter how much I don’t like
Talk is never cheap between you and me
Look at how far we’ve come
And still we always come undone
Maybe that’s how it always has to be
Im out here alone
- Thank You
I listen to you for hours, I'll listen all day
Just keep hitting me the right way
Sing your song in the shower
Cause you got a way
To say what I can never say right - right on
When I feel weak you make me feel strong
Make me feel strong
- This Place
This place sux
I haven't found a single thing to call my own
And there's nothing left for me to do
Just play the game, pretend to do work
No my boss isn't a jerk
It's just this place
This place sux
I been slinking throught the halls
- Unchanged
Turn around and run
This pair of broken vows is waiting up 'till dawn
There’s no way it could ever be
Then it happened to you and me
And there’s no super hero trying’ ta save us
We're just stuck here
But it's OK - I'll be alright
- We
I Don't Care What They Say
Those Numbers Don't Mean A Thing
We've Got It Made
This World Is Just Me And You
And We Know Just What To Do
We've Got It Made
Hey, Everythings Gonna Be Okay
(We've Got It Made Together)
- When I Get Old
what will it be like when i get old
will i still hop on my bike, and ride around town
will i still want to be someone, and not just sit around
i don't want to be like other adults
cause they've already died
cool and condescending, fossilized
will i be rich will i be poor, will i still sleep on the floor
what will it be like when i get
