- A Lot You Can Learn In a Room
Staring out my bedroom window
Looking for a holy grail
I had friends who wouldn't lend me a dollar
But, they'd pay anything to see me fail
Now I'll admit
That in terms of percentage
I don't know much
- Addicted To Morals
Found the bodies of some strung out locals
Very clearly were addicted to morals
Very clearly were addicted to morals
Oh what a waste
Caring is masochistic
My conscience is masochistic
Perfection is masochistic
- all that disappointment
There's no space under the bed
It won't fit in a closet
There's no room on the floor
Even if you had a mansion
And I don't see it on the streets
It's not mixed in with the trash
Everyone I see
Walks with empty hands
- America Will Copy
You didn’t know that you were sad
Until you heard that song
You knew you’d never been in love
After you saw that film
But since then
You’ve had a few thoughts of your own
But you can’t tell me
- Another Safe Landing
I’ve never been to California
But I’ve lived in LA
I’ve never been to London
But I’ve walked down Oxford Street
Another safe landing has got me worried
That everything I wanted
Is right here in my head
- Black All Day, Bright All Night
Saw you outside on a sunny morning
With a candle in your hand
Feeling your way around
Even though you knew very well
There was nothing to hold on to
( )
- Clubs in Europe Forever
As long as there's war
As long as there's youth
As long as there's fear
As long as there's terror
They'll be playing this in clubs in Europe forever
As long as there's bad
- Fond Memories Of A Terrible Life
I
I had a pure pure mind
And I could tell that there would be a fight
Yeah I could tell that there would be a fight
But the devil was taller than I expected
And God was about my height
But just maybe
There’s hope for me
- Hey Contemporary
Hey contemporary
Do you worry like I do?
I find the past doesn't make
As good an escape as it used to
So I tried to think about the future
What will be
But, how can I think about the future or anything?
- Hey Faggot
Hey faggot
You’re not in love
How do I know that you’re not in love?
Hey faggot
You’re not in love
‘Cause I overheard that no one’s in love
And the more I learn
- Ice Cube in an Ocean
The offer always looming
Some sugar on the dirt
Tonight I sold my soul
For more than it was worth
Blood was in the water
No searchlights in the sky
Death was all around me
But I was getting by
- kill her off
Head up
Look alive
No excuses this time
She's not real
It's just your mind
This is it
Say goodbye
- Let On
Since I was a kid
I've watched what I've said
My tongue's cut and swollen
From all the times I've bit
I held everything in
Played dumb
I did
Now everyone's sayin'
- Love is a Chain Store
They're driving us out
We're closing up shop
Lonely is the mom and pop
Lonely is the mom and pop
Where are the protesters?
Where are the slogans and signs?
This will be a swift decline
- People Are Living Longer, but Dying Younger
Your whole life
You’ve been
Chewing the same piece of gum
And you live in an age
Where this privilege can now be prolonged
Oh but sir it’s so tasteless
Oh but sir it’s so tasteless
- Post-entertainment
No more happy people singing sad songs
And no more screaming unless you’re in pain
How is everybody doing tonight?
When did they arrive?
About three years before Madonna died
You weren’t aware that you could run out of time
- Professional Outsiders
Legend, why do you stand so close?
Icon, why do you stand so close?
You're looking like amateurs
So, we backed up, showed you the ropes
Don't believe anyone who's over three years old
Never trust someone who hasn't sat alone
- Robot Now, Human Later
Why rush into tears?
You're only 16
You want advice, you want to know how
To make it through this
Be a robot now
You can be human later
- Sleepy Rock and Roll
It was so quiet for the loudest thing I’d ever heard
It was so violent yet unthreatening and sheltered
Thinking but not thinking
As they listen to their sleepy rock and roll
It was predictable, yet supposedly it’s shocking me
They talk of politics, governments and creativity
Thinking but not thinking
- Take Your Seatbelt Off
How did I get to be the way I am?
You want to know what my life’s been like?
Then take your seatbelt off
You’re going for a ride
You’re going for a ride
Have you ever felt so free?
Have you ever felt so trapped?
Can you tell the difference when you go this fast?
- The 57th Floor
From the 57th floor
Blood looks like paint
Blood looks like paint from the 57th Floor
Answers come easy on the 57th floor
On the 57th floor answers come easy
But as the 57th floor gets lower
Blood looks like blood
- The Man Who Refused to Be Born
You were waiting for the right time
'Cause life can’t pass you by
And here I am having another worst year of my life
I was impulsive
Wasn’t I?
Baby why are we always fighting over pennies?
When they say
- The whores are funny again
These smiles are fakes
But they served us well
When every head in the world
Is nodding along
We laugh until the whores are funny again
These smiles are fakes
But we forced ourselves
To practice on the off chance no one sees this banana peel
- Too Cool To Love
I'm not too cool to live
I'm not too cool to die
I'm not too cool to dream
I'm not too cool to cry
But I'm too cool to love anyone
I'm not too cool to fear
- Water And Headphones
All I need
Is water and headphones
Those things are my staples
What I live and breathe
Life is just
So much more sensible
Measured in decibels
- Windows of Windows of Windows
I look through windows of windows of windows to get a look outside
I shatter I shatter I shatter and I vandalize
Lies
Lives
I look through people through people through people who think that they’re outside
Looking and looking and looking until I die
- you are the gravity
I was born high
Thought I was out of reach
I was barely nine
When I felt the leash
I saw all you people
There under me
They said, "We'll be back
When you turn a teen"
