AMERICAN HEARTBREAK
WHAT YOU DESERVE
WISHING WELL
METHADONE BABY
RICHEY JAMES
ANOTHER WASTED DAY
NOBODY LIKES ME
CONDEMNED
WISHING WELL
Treatment bound
One hand to hold me, another to scold me
Fallin' down
Throwin' pennies in a Wishing Well
Where you goin' now
(Repeat)
Coming down
I feel so useless I hate this town
Everybody's in my way
Where you goin' now
(Repeat)
METHADONE BABY
Stuck out, strung out
Broken down, but you don't cry
You have a T.V. set
And your mother's money
Criticized and sympathized
Walking down a lonely mile
Oh, Methadone Baby
Just when you think you've got it worked out
You fall back down
Searchin' for a savior but you don't
Care about yourself
Last shot baby, you don't stop
One time back and you're mine
(Repeat)
Tragic, static
Nothings wrong, but what's right
Hangin' on a corner for saviors
Moneys gone, I'm shattered & torn
Walkin' down a lonely mile
Oh, Methadone Baby
Just when you think you've got it worked out
You fall back down
Looking for a savior but you don't
Care about yourself
Last shot baby, you don't stop
One time back and you're mine
I'm watching you die
Well you got what you deserve
And I smile when I think about it
What you deserve and I smile when I
Think about it
Just when you think you've got it worked out
You fall back down
Looking for a savior but you don't
Care about yourself, about yourself
(Repeat)
RICHEY JAMES
All the pictures I once had
Burn them all I couldn't care less
Cut yourself with razor blades
Destroy yourself on amphetamines
This ain't no party
Feelin' the way I do
You're the last one of the day
Crucified by N.M.E.
Seventeen for Richey
We are the dead flowers in
Playgrounds of the rich infested
The sad & the lonely
Are the only ones with style
You're the last one of the day
(Repeat)
Too Young to die
Too Young to care
To fall in love
Too Young to die
Too Young to care
To fall in love
Well you gave it all you can
To destroy the middle class
He is suffering a perfect death
You're the last one of the day
(Repeat)
ANOTHER WASTED DAY
There's nothing on the radio
Turn that fucker off
There's nothing on my MTV
Sedated for so long
Blow up bombs and paper dolls
A groovy kind of love
Pragmatic vision, something's missing
Dead for so long
Oh, Another Wasted Day
Another year goes slowly down the drain
Another Wasted Day
People call on the telephone
Turn that ringer off
I'd rather be here left alone
Than die in your company
Blow up bombs and paper dolls
A groovy kind of drug
Pragmatic vision, something's missing
Functional for so long
Oh, Another Wasted Day
Another year goes slowly down the drain
Another Wasted Day
NOBODY LIKES ME
Sittin' in some cafe
Bored with life and coffee
Caffeine stains my teeth
And the loneliness kills my soul
Vacant faces casting blacker shadows
Time escaping for losers like me
Everyday with my head in the sand
So you don't see me
First you say you do
Then you say you don't
Care nothin' for me
You've been through this all
100 times with me, yeah
Nobody likes me
It's plain to see as the nose on your face
Nobody likes me, today
I can do better than you
You can do better than me
I can do better than that
You can do better than me
(Repeat all)
CONDEMNED
Well the paper reads
What the people need
Can't distort the truth to fit your needs
Can you sleep at night
Can you wrong the right
Self-destruction, empty-hearted blues
Now what can I do, yeah
I believe
It's just a matter of time
*Till we fall apart
Fall down on our face
Condemned to life, imprisoned by
One false move another one dies
Now I hate the fucking world
Bullshit politics
For bullshit policies
Can't contort the truth to fit your needs
Can you sleep at night
Can you wrong a right
Self-destruction, empty hearted blues
Now what can I do, yeah
I believe
It's just a matter of time
*Till we fall apart
Fall down on our face
Condemned to life, imprisoned by
One false move another one dies
Now I hate the fucking world
(Repeat)
I hate the world, I hate the world
I hate the world and I hate you too

Not Alright
4 A.M.
Arm Candy
Idiots On Parade
I Wish You Were (D.E.A.D)
SUPERSTAR
The sheets turn red wrapped around my face
Hide my broken dreams
Well I can't stand anyone
My fucked life is so much fun
While you're latch-key lovers in the room she waits
For her love to show
You're my best friend anywhere
I could tell you anything
Well there's no time for the lonely
When they call your name
And there's no time for a friend
Thinkin' 'bout you - you're thinkin' it too
Wherever you'll be - forget about me
Taking your fill - they're bringing you all
Thinkin' 'bout calling a friend
But that's gonna have to wait
That's what you are - You're a superstar
Hear them laughing behind my back
When they go away
I see rats infest in the food they bring
Rip your face out of magazines
You're America's heartbreak
You can ask anyone you know
It's American ambition
Your life is everyone's
Well there's no time for the lonely
When they call your name
And there's no time for a friend
Thinkin' 'bout you - you're thinkin' it too
Wherever you'll be - forget about me
Taking your fill - they're bringing you all
Thinkin' 'bout calling a friend
But that's gonna have to wait
That's what you are - You're a superstar
You're here today - you're gone tomorrow
You're here today - you're gone
Well I can't wait 'till tomorrow - Well I can't wait 'till tomorrow
Well I can't wait
IDIOTS ON PARADE
Bought yourself a red nose
A stupid pair of shoes
You're so dumb and you know it
What you gonna do
Everybody laughs at you - Spits in your face
Falling for your photograph
Step on up and take a look at the
Idiots on parade - We're the idiots
We're the idiots on parade - We're the idiots
Made you a star before you learned to crawl
We're the idiots on parade - We're the idiots on parade
Don't you wanna go now
What you going through
You're so old and you know it
Time's flashing by again
Everybody laughs at you - Spits in your face
Falling for your photograph
Step on up and take a look at the
Idiots on parade - We're the idiots
We're the idiots on parade - We're the idiots
Made you a star before you learned to crawl
We're the idiots on parade - We're the idiots
On parade, on parade, on parade
Two idiots like me and you
Don't you wanna go now
What you gonna do
You're so dumb and you know it
What you gonna do
Everybody laughs at you - Spits in your face
Falling for your photograph
Step on up and take a look at the
Idiots on parade - We're the idiots
We're the idiots on parade - We're the idiots
Made you a star before you learned to crawl
We're the idiots on parade - We're the idiots
On parade, on parade, on parade
Two idiots like me and you
PLEASE KILL ME
You're taking this all way too hard
Put the barrel to my head
And by Christmas I'll be dead
Take my life
I'm a hollow washed-out boy
Anyone today
I said take my life
I'm a hollow washed-out boy
Anyone
Somebody kill me
Put me out of my misery
Somebody kill me
Please kill me
(Repeat)
Set myself on fire on a rainy day
What you know is what you learn
Torch my world and watch it burn
You suck me dry
And I go limp from all your selfishness
(Repeat)
Take my life
I'm a hollow washed-out boy
Anyone today
You can take my life
I'm a hollow washed-out boy
Anyone
(Repeat Chorus)
You're taking this all way too hard
Colt 45 is in your hand
Shoot myself at your command
Take my life
I'm a hollow washed-out boy
Anyone
(Repeat Chorus)
4 A.M.
Sleep avoids desperate and lonely
Afternoons, solitude is golden
Comforting fake emotions
Starve myself to feel accepted
Urine tastes like water
Flowers don't feel like spring
If I never left my bed
Would the world be a better place to live
You know it would
Unsatisfactory, unsatisfied
(Repeat)
Search for words I never find
In supermarkets and check-out lines
Drugs sold at wholesale prices
Doesn't feel so bad to be alone
Impatience is my enemy
If I never left my bed
Would the world be a better place to live
You know it would
(Repeat Chorus)
Unsatisfactory, I'm so unsatisfied
(Repeat)
DEAD AT SEVENTEEN
Summer's here, there's nowhere to go
I'm holding on some avenue
You'd better believe
That falling down is day to day fun
Where do you go (where you go)
No one cares (no one cares)
Where do you go
When nobody cares, nobody cares for you
You're dead at seventeen
My life has just begun
You're dead at seventeen
And I know I'm not the only one
(Repeat all)
TOO BEAUTIFUL
Born into a generation
Baby boomers masturbating
Killing everyone in sight
Close my eyes
Can't pretend this isn't happening
Beauty's just a time bomb
Color your hair and pierce your nose
Blacken your eyes, darken your soul
Is this our youth subculture
Welcome to the freakshow
Beauties always bought and sold
Acceptance equals complacency
Cover my eyes
Pretend this isn't happening
beauty's just a time bomb
Color your hair and pierce your nose
Blacken your eyes, darken your soul
Is this our youth subculture
Beautiful me, pitiful you
You look like hell to me
Beauty to me is ugly to you
I feel like shit today
(Repeat)
Down on the time
You're thinking you're beautiful
(Repeat)
(Repeat Chorus)
SEVEN TIME LOSER
Why do you get paid
You're a daytime disgrace
Playing the roles that they
Design for cunts with brains
Don't you want to come along
Get so high and feel so alone
Baby, just go away
Seven time, seven time loser
Seven time, seven time loser
Don't you want to come along
Get so high you feel so alone
Baby, gotta go away
Why die in shame
And you still play the game
Suffer thoughts that burn
Waiting for your turn
Don't you want to come along
Get so high you feel so alone
Baby, gotta go away
Seven time, seven time loser
Seven time, seven time loser
Don't you want to come along
Get so high you feel so alone
Baby, don't go away
Don't you want to come along
Get so high you feel so alone
Baby, gotta go away
You're a loser baby, seven time loser
(Repeat)
Don't you want to come along
Get so high you feel so alone
Baby, gotta get away
Seven time loser,
Seven time loser,
Seven time...
NOT ALRIGHT
Pick up the pieces of your adolescent dreams
Take what they give you avoiding the truth at all cost
Someday someone will find you
Teach you what you want to be
You're killing me, well
You ain't got nothin' for me
I think I'm getting kinda sick of you
You see what you want to see
I've got a picture, a vision of you
Alright, Alright
Well you take such pleasure dismissing the obvious
Counting stars in your eyes and you're acting surprised, it's unfair
Someday someone will find you
Be what they want you to be
You're killing me
(Repeat Chorus)
Smash it to pieces, pretend it's alright
Searching for better ways out
(Repeat Chorus)
Alright, Alright
WHITE GIRL
Don't want to be a slave
Don't want to be confused
Don't want to be a whore
Don't want to be like you
Can't you see you're strangling me
Don't you know you're strangling me
Can't you see you're strangling me
Can't you see
So come on down, it's the end of the world
You see me, I see right through you
(Repeat)
Poor little rich girl, poor little girl
Poor little rich girl
Sick of the world, sick of this place
And you know she loves me too
Don't want to be afraid
Don't want to be abused
Don't want to be a whore
Don't want to be like you
Can't you see you're strangling me
Don't you know you're strangling me
Can't you see you're strangling me
Can't you see
So come on down, it's the end of the world
You see me, I see right through you
(Repeat)
Poor little rich girl, poor little girl
Poor little rich girl
Sick of the world, sick of this place
And you know she loves me too
When it all comes falling down on you
When the shit falls down on you
When it all comes falling down on you
She loves me, she loves me, she loves me
(Repeat Chorus)
ARM CANDY
Plastic, nothing's real inside of you
Sickens, cheapens every thought of you
Tuck it in and suck it out
You're so obsessed, you're so obsessed
Between the sheets between the lies
So obsessed, you're so fucking obsessed
I know who you are (You'll find a way)
Pretentious and so scarred (You'll find a way)
I know who you are, I know who you are
Tragic, No idea who you are
Paralyzed, black and blues can't hide the scars
Tuck it in and suck it out
You're so obsessed, you're so obsessed
Tuck it in and suck it out
So obsessed, you're so fucking obsessed
(Repeat Chorus)
Always wanted to feel so needed
Always wanted to be alone
Always wanted to feel so needed
Bette Davis in a movie show
Yeah, yeah - Alright
(Repeat)
Yeeeaaah
(Repeat Chorus)
DRINKS
Falling on your face
Watching people passing by
Feeling so all alone
Down on a Valentine's Day
You're bringing me down
Jack me off, baby disconnect me
can't really complain
Drinks are always free for me
Let's order drinks all around
Let's drink to the assholes
Drink to the fools
Let's drink to you
Let's drink to the bastards
Drink to the scum
Let's drink to the motherfuckers
Let's drink to you, let's drink to you
One bottle down
Two to go and three to get reckless
Feeling so all alone
Down on a Valentine's Day
You're bringing me down
Jack me off, baby disconnect me
can't really complain
Drinks are always free for me
(Repeat Chorus)
Let's drink to the bastards, let's drink to you
Let's drink to the faggots, let's drink to you
Let's drink to the scumbags, let's drink to you
Let's drink to the motherfuckers
Now is the time and you're going away
Now is the time you're going away
Now is the time you're going away
Oh no, oh no
(Repeat Chorus)
BRAIN VACATION
Talking out of turn,
Do you ever learn, do you ever bleed
Days go by and you wonder why
I wanna buy a gun
One bullet for my lover, one bullet for her friend
Close your mouth, you're catching flies
Do you like the taste
Pray for the day when you go away
Play dead for me
Passed out from an empty mind
That was lost or left behind
All the senseless things
Your mind can't find
Your mouth is working overtime
Your brain is on vacation
(Repeat)
Blah, blah, blah, but all I know
My head has got the spins
Days go by and you wonder why
I wanna buy a gun
One bullet for my lover, one bullet for her friend
Close your mouth, you're catching flies
Do you like the taste
Pray for the day when you go away
Play dead for me
Passed out from an empty mind
That was lost or left behind
All the senseless things
Your mind can't find
Your mouth is working overtime
Your brain is on vacation
(Repeat)
I hate your record collection
Smash your record collection
All your parasitic little friends
Come and go away, come and go away
Come and go away, come and go away
(Repeat Chorus)
I WISH YOU WERE (D.E.A.D.)
You think this town is keeping you down
But I've been around the world
And I've seen a lot of jerks in this world, in this world
You take a drink just to keep it on down
But I've been around the world
And I've seen a lot of drunks in this world, in this world
I wish you were
(Repeat)
She stands there like a broken record machine
Glued to the floor, staring helplessly
Sick of all the kids and the burnout scene
Sick of all the drugs that perish me
Why do I come here at all
Take a chance, take a fall
I don't want to come back anymore
I wish you were, I wish you were
(Repeat)
Played for you when you still had it rough
Now you think my shoes aren't cool enough
Take it back, you don't know what to do
Simplified, you've got no point of view
Bullet-proof mentality
It's too late for therapy
Watch your life become a tragedy
(Repeat Chorus)
She stands there like a broken record machine
Glued to the floor, staring helplessly
Sick of all the kids and the burnout scene
Sick of all the drugs that perish me
(Repeat Chorus)
You can't kill R'n'R
POSTCARDS FROM HELL
Woke up with the TV on
Teenage kicks are so much fun
Sunshine burns me out
So I disappear
Run for shelter - duck and hide
Everyone here comes suicide
Isn't it so much fun
When you don't fit in?
Never cashing in
Never going straight
Never going down on my knees
Every chance you take could be the last one
Until you fall down again
Postcards from hell
Sent to you I hope all's well
Believe in me so I can hate myself
(Repeat)
I hate myself
Postcards from hell
Seattle sucked and I hate the rain
Vancouver didn't want to play my game
Raindrops falling down
And I grab a beer
Sentimentality
Dysfunctionals escape
Isn't it so much fun
When you don't fit in?
(Repeat pre-Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)

ROTTEN APPLE
Looking through your window
Counting minutes into hours
Days drag on by
You're looking for a victim
In a sea of superstition
I'm drowning for the last time
Looking in the mirror
And my face is getting clearer
It's gonna take some time
Waking up at home
I'd rather just be left alone
Get the fuck out of my life
Downtown everybody's laughing
I hope someday I'm smiling too
Uptown everybody's crying
I am the loser, you are a liar
I wanna hurt you too
It's time to change the channel
(Repeat)
Scratching at the surface
Try and bleed onto the paper
As you crawl back from the west side
Never rhyme or reason
Can't control just how I'm feeling
Nowadays I try not to lie
Broken in a minute
Turns to nothing in a feeling
And it's such a waste of time
Find it hard to swallow
In a friend that was so shallow
Get the fuck out of my life
Downtown everybody's laughing
I hope someday I'm smiling too
Uptown everybody's crying
New York was so good to you
Uptown everybody's dying
I hope someday you'll feel like I do
Uptown everybody's crying
I am the loser, you are a liar
I wanna hurt you too
It's time to change the channel
I am pathetic, you are a liar
I wanna hurt you too
(Repeat)
Fucking change it
Looking through your window
Counting minutes into hours
Days drag on by
You're looking for a victim
In a sea of superstition
I'm drowning for the last time
Looking in the mirror
And my face is getting clearer
It's gonna take my life
Waking up at home
I'd rather just be left alone
Get the fuck out of my life
(Repeat pre-Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
I want to - change it (Repeat)
I wanna hurt you too (Repeat)

SHE'S TELLIN' LIES
This is the way it feels
When you are lost
Can't help feeling
I've given up
A lot more than I got
No hope inside
Believe me when I see surprise
On your face and in your lies
You spewed to me
On our wedding day
And I can't face you
You come out swinging
You'd better hope your aim is true
Come out swinging
You might be swinging from a noose
She's tellin' lies
I realize
She's tellin' lies
About you again
I realize
She's not my friend
No one wants to hear you
When you're down
Turn their backs and
Turn off the phones
And draw the shade
Estranged from hope
Desperate and alone
It's getting difficult to swallow
Or work up a sound
Anymore, anyway
And I can't face you
You come out swinging
You'd better hope your aim is true
Come out swinging
You might be swinging from a noose
She's tellin' lies
I realize
She's tellin' lies
About you again
I realize
She's not my friend
(Repeat Chorus) Back to Top
CONDEMNED 2000
Well the paper read
What the people need
Can't distort the truth to fit your needs
How do you sleep at night
Can you wrong a right
Self-destruction, empty-hearted blues
Now what can I do, yeah
I believe
It's just a matter of time
Till we fall apart
Fall down on our face
Condemned to life, imprisoned by
One false move, another one dies
Now I hate the fucking world
I hate the world
Bullshit policies
For bullshit politics
Can't contort the truth to fit your needs
How do you sleep at night
Can you wrong a right
Self-destruction, empty-hearted blues
Now what can I do, yeah
I believe
It's just a matter of time
Till we fall apart
Fall down on our face
Condemned to life, imprisoned by
One false move, another one dies
Now I hate the fucking world
(Repeat)
I hate the world, and I hate you too

GENIUS OF CRACK
Californ-I-A so it seems
Life isn't what it appears to be
People live in boxes outside my door
Can't get no relief
Throw it all away
Sadly beautiful and all shut down
Down on their luck and down on themselves
Halfway around the world, no looking back
Yesterdays are just that
Don't beat yourself up
Don't take it so hard
Takin' the punches
When they're coming for you
The bruises begin to show through
Genius of crack
Appears to be
Living in the 21st century
Babys sick of a sugar fix
Can't get no relief
Throw it all away
Sadly beautiful and all shut down
Down on their luck and down on themselves
Halfway around the world, no looking back
Yesterdays are just that
Don't beat yourself up
Don't take it so hard
Takin' the punches
When they're coming for you
The bruises begin to show through
They begin to show through
Fallin' out of love
Is so easy to do
Forget about me and
I'll forget about you
Bruises begin to show through
They begin to show
Forget-me-nots from all the friends you lost
Never think about the cost
All the saviors that you lost
Comes a time in your life when you hold a dream
Well I know that much is true
Believe in me
And I'll believe in you
Or maybe I'll be leaving soon
(Repeat Chorus)
