MY LIFE STORY
i was on my way to be with you today well you know it's true because i wouldn't lie to you first my car broke down so then i had to hitch a ride i was almost there when the motor died don't hate me forever i'm better late than never i failed you i'm sorry that's simply my life story i know it's much too late to take you on a date i know that it's no use but this is my excuse i was in a plane and it was falling from the sky i knew i had to survive so i could say goodbye you change your mind like i change the time that i was gonna call you or say i was about to you change your mind like i change the time i said that i would be there but then i didn't have a thing to wear
BUILDINGS TUMBLE
waking up is hard to do when no one loves you years pass by, that's something you have gotten used to some of us are dumb and blind and out of our minds walking passed each day through fields of land mines let the weak say i am strong let yourself say i was wrong let your heart move on let your heart move on wipe the drool up off your face and make your plans the prison where you hang your head missed your demands it's highly time, throw down your wine, put foolish things away don't forget, prepare your set, be true to your own way do you find yourself from day to day staring at a stranger's face? as you find yourself to your dismay looking into your own face
RESPONSIBILITY
i don't want this responsibility and don't use me because i don't agree why lie, do or die? why lie, do or? responsibility? what's that? responsibility? not quite yet responsibility? what's that? i don't want to think about it; we'd be better off without it you think i'm so simplistic i'm onto you and your tricks i'm still young and i'd like to stay that way 'cause growing up won't make everything okay i'm still young and i'd like to stay that way i've got a voice and i've got a lot to say i've got a lot to say. . .
TWO WHOLE YEARS
well this is true i miss you and this is true i've got to see you, i've got to see you well i know we're both so busy and i know that you're driving me crazy, you drive me crazy it's been two whole years and three months before that since we first met, how could i forget? you know it's all my fault and this is ture you're gonna get mad whenever i've been bad i'll have to make it up to you one white rose or one sweet song for you anything for you i'm a fool to think that i deserve you i'm pretty foolish anyway i've been planning to hold on to you and so far things have, things have gone my way
PROVE IT TO THE WORLD
i can't hold back i can't relax i can't let go i can't say no can't take the time can't make you mine can't know for sure can't find the cure and what does this all mean? and after all i've seen i'm gonna prove it to the world i'm gonna prove it to the world i'm gonna prove it to the world so here i go can't ascertain i can't refrain i can't decline i won't fall behind i won't sit down i won't leave town i can't deny and i won't cry and what does this all mean? and after all i've seen i'm gonna prove it to the world i'm gonna prove it to the world i'm gonna prove it to the world so here i go uh oh oh. . .
EDUCATED GUESS
everything's gotten so complicated now you're older now you're jaded you despise what you used to love cursing everything under the sky above when you think back does it ever make you cry? like it does me with the tears all in my eyes crying, driving in my car looking back on my life so far all the things that you believe in lies all lies they've been deceiving you deceiving me, deceiving you when we were young we were told so many times prepare for your future cause it won't be easy they never did tell us to enjoy life, here it is because before you know it life has passed you by all the things. . . all the time you have invested wasted time not to be trusted washed away from you away from me they've been deceiving, you deceiving me
IS THE ANSWER IN THE QUESTION?
wonder and complete surprise it's all seen through those eyes tired, lonely and afraid every card's been played so where do we go? and what should we do? and why is the table set for two? is the answer in the question? i need some more direction/suggestions was the answer in the question all along? da da da da love, hate, life and certain death all in just one breath mixed up, straight down, opened, closed down created, then unwound
THE NEXT BIG THING
music today isn't the way it's supposed to be you like what you're told and if you know what's good then you'll agree it's someone to tell ya who you are someone to tell you who to be someone to show you what you see it's the next big thing you go to the store and it's the same bands stacked on each other you've heard it before but now it's better than it's cover how low can you go? how low will you go? to be the next big thing?
FOOLISH
some people say that i threw my brain away that i'm illogical and don't have much to say some people say that it's foolish to believe in what we cannot see, so we're deceived all that i can do is listen to you all that you can be is out there, you'll see every single time that i explain to you my reasons why you turn away; you close your eyes and then you cut me down to size some people say that i threw my vote away the moment i decided to live life this way some people say that it's foolish to believe in what we cannot see, so we're deceived i'm not here to make you all agree but have you truly studied this historically? every single time that i explain to you my reasons why you turn away; you close your eyes and then you cut me down to size every single time that i explain to you my reasons why you turn away; you close your mind your heart's just not prepared to find some meaning, some meaning just wait, and listen to that voice it calls so quietly, for you to make a choice what will it be? what will it be?
ONE STEP CLOSER TO LIFE
some would say tomorrow is just one step closer to death i'd say tomorrow is just one step closer to life and understanding and to know it's gonna be alright so in conclusion have i made my decisions clear? with every passing moment of my life this year well not exactly so that's what i am doing here no one's on display and no one's gonna be passed around today i won't let it happen, if i can help it take your inconsistence away would it be right to say that no one ever truly listens? or takes the time to understand what something means without opinion, bias, without a one-track mind what can be done to change a habit born in our minds? first step to kiros is to take the shells out of our eyes and then to wonder, enjoy life, maybe even relax, even relax
UNSAID
somewhere deep inside your mind you don't want anyone to find that you're someone with very big ideas the words that just came off your lips just crossed your name off the list it's long gone and already forgotten i was thinking just the other day some things are better left undone some battles are better left unwon some sad songs better left unsung is there something more to know? and is there someplace left to go? someplace with something there to see? is there anyone at all? not one to make that final call to all those people wondering? some things are better left undone some battles are better left unwon some sad songs better left unsung some fires are better left unfed some pages better left unread some words are better left unsaid what kind of person would you be? if less is what you see, then less is everything and if you look what will you find? would that make up your mind? and make up everything, make up everything
HERE WITH ME
would it be too much to ask? too much too fast? i'm all-alone and i want you here with me i'm not the best at romance i've had my chance i don't want much, but i want you here with me i want you here with me why can't you just see? i want you here with me i'm on the other side now please help me out catch the next plane because i want you here with me could i be out of my head? pronounced brain dead? i think with my heart, and i want you here with me
WITHOUT YOU
i got a confession to make that my heart would break to hear you say goodbye you're my every dream you're the threadwork to my seams and you know that i can't lie, when i say i can't stop thinking about you i can't stop thinking about how my heart's empty without you i just hate myself to think of you with someone else to hear you say goodbye i love you for who you are no more, no less and you know that ii can't lie, when i say. . . my dreams will never come true without you
IT'S UNDENIABLE
it doesn't matter what you need just where you go to get it it doesn't matter what you've done there's no need to regret it if you're a loser just like me then life hasn't been easy maybe you were waiting for the wake up call and when it came, your line was busy i know it's happened to me. and it will happen again if i don't slow down and listen (and listen) it's undeniable; we're so much smaller than we think we are the first step that i needed to take was giving god control that's a struggle for me everyday, and i'm letting you all know there's a willingness that comes alive when you begin tearing down the walls but the first step is so very hard if you take a first step at all i know it's happened to me. and it will happen again if i don't slow down and listen (and listen) if i don't sit down and listen (and listen) when we've built up walls around us our hardened hearts can't bear the healing hurts so badly that no one seems to care and after all, and after all
MISPLACED MEMORIES
if i could take what i've learned from all the mistakes i've made from the pages that i've turned from the lost games that i've played i'd be a better person for it better than deciding to ignore it it meant so much to me i want to make things right with you and me misplaced memories i've, retraced my steps so many times well maybe it was meant to be and maybe all the answers are right here in front of me/ what else can i say, i let the past get to me if things could go differently if we could learn to agree i'm willing to apologize because i realize seems like yesterday, i was cruising down chico way

'cause i love my girl. donna, where can you be? where can you be? oh donna, oh donna oh donna, oh donna oh donna, oh donna oh donna, oh donna
SMALL TOWN MINDS
you're the least of my problems, i won't give you the time you're the least of my worries you're not worth your weight i'll bet everything i have that you'll be there to have what you call fun - but i don't care small town! small minds! this means you! small town! small minds! you don't have a clue
FIRST CLASS MAIL
she says i'm negative i just can't see it's her negativity depressing me maybe i'm anti-american me i don't think the problem is nationality it's your point of view she see's these things through dogma's narrow eyes you question my integrity, but i can't question yours i have joy in what i know but her interpretations bring me sorrow how can i act like nothing's wrong and not communicate what's going on
CAN'T SEE NOT SAYING
it's been so long, i feel so out of touch thoughts cloud my heart and head i think i think too much the narrow path i follow, is it the right way? i keep on dwelling in tomorrow i should be living in today! i'm having trouble with my thought process and i'm no engineer all the road to my brains are there and the directions just aren't clear i can't sit back and let all of this go want you to feel what i feel and to know what i know i can't see not saying what's on my mind are all things meaningless and a waste of time?
GSF (GIRLS SCHMIRLS FOUNDATION)
you didn't have to be so mean to me i guess now i see how it's gonna be i'm joining gsf, i've made up my mind forget this thing called love, it's a waste of time girls ain't no good anymore, anyway! not for one second have i understood why they do what they do, why they say what they say always happens to my friends, it always happens to me it's taken me 19 years to finally see she said "can we just be friends? it's just not working out." another broken heart that i can do without girls ain't no good anymore, anyway! not for one second have i understood why they do what they do, why they say what they say
THOUGHTS AND IDEAS
are you intellectual? do you really think you're in control? you know what you believe, illogical, you don't percieve what are we doing here? our lives aren't even worth a can of beer if the absolute does not exhist you're just another number on a list you refuse to take some one elses thoughts & ideas it might point out your mistakes then you'll have to change you criteria take the time to reflect the status quo before you reject the opportunities given to you how can there be an issue of morality? if there is no absolute, everthing is relative
EASIER SAID THAN DONE
no one here is innocent as far as i can see. it happens each and everyday condoned by you and me. is if right to take the very best only for yourself. thinking of no other one only of yourself. i was lost then i was found but my selfishness still brings me down was blind but now i see this selfishness in front of me now i'm thinking about doing the right thing everday it's really hard to do but it's easy to say by myself i fall but in him i stand everytime i doubt he shows me again
ROCK N' ROLL GIRL
i don't know what to do, i dont know what to say. it hurts me to let go when she looks at me that way. oh can she see, what she's doing to me? i thought that she was mine, i guess i was wrong. it seems she's changed her mind, looks like she's moved along couldn't understand what she was trying to say, i finally figured out that i was in her way, now i'm okay she wasn't too down with rock and roll scene, she wasn't too down with the pain that it brings, oh yeah. she sprouted wings and flew away.
IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO MENTION
they all wanna talk when i'm not around but when i'm back in town they're no where to be found they got things to say about things they don't know and don't to show of intellectual conversation words will often hide the truest form of intention i can see what you all lack inside isn't important enought to mention; they won't deal with themselves wasting time doing something else temporary indoor fun they never go out into the sun my freedom to express has never been reasked more since when is it their chore to tell me what to live my life for i know that you wanna hear i'm gone for good i know you want me to leave you won't get rid of me that easy your hurting words in the end they'll mean nothing to me all your lies in the end your hungry eyes will see nothing to me....
ELVIS IS DEAD
that voice inside my brain elvis talking to me again i think i'm going insane he says that he's my friend but i know what he said is a lie cause elvis is dead now i know that what i see can't be him 'cuz this guy's skinny why can't i see that elvis is me and i oughta know it need to change i'm way too strange and i shouldn't show it i got too much time to drink and no coke to think elvis talked to me today he told me what to say
LIFETIME ENLIGHTENMENT
you want something you take it can't hide from god can't fake it he knows your heart he knows mine you've only got a lifetime have you no integrity? your wasted mind, your apathy same old high school mystery you're too dumb & blind to see you've already made up your mind you don't care you don't wanna find the truth will hit you like cement too bad too sad it's too late for your enlightenment
LET IT HAPPEN
i want someone to love a girl that when i think of will put a smile on my face i want to hold her hand want her to understand there's got to be a better place than this world cause this is the best time of our lives should i be thinking about that now she turns my world around i let it happen everytime i want a lot of things selfishness always seem to bring all the pain back in my mind which way to go answers to questions i don't know there's better things that we can find
HOT AND COLD
what day is this so i can sing the kind of day you start recycling you feel so good you could explode or stand around out by the road sometimes it makes me sick yah i'd rather puke or get poked with a stick than see your face then i think of the decision i made that makes me happy all over again just like birds to the sky and fish to the sea i'm as happy as can be
SO KILL ME
losing my mind you've lost yours long ago wasting your time you want me to go so when you feel like killing me just go ahead cause i'll be there for you go ahead and try to understand me i'll try and understand you it's not hard to be demanding cause this is all so new
SUGGESTION BOX
so many unanswered questions about those who hate so much most of which are mislead most of which are untouched they resort to violence to forcefeed their fascist views all we see is blood stained boots for no real reason on the news is there ever a second thought that slips on through their mind that this is sick and wrong that this is so unkind no tolerance for ignorance that's the way it should be i'll try not to judge you but i know there's two sides to see there's much more to me, why can't you see there's two sides to see
CREATION
you don't understand my views, or what it is i see nothing you say is news cause you wouldn't listen to me you take my words out of context, your message of wrong is right what are you gonna tell us next, that dark is day not light? creation! is proof enough for me something that's there for everyone to see you watch the wrong example then conclude a falacy your hasty generalization is there for all to see my actions you speak of is easier said than done the hope that god see's in you has got you on the run.
WANT AD
i need the kind of girl that knows a girl that likes to wear my clothes somone who always buys me coke someone who laughs at all my jokes that's the girl that i want to see fall in love with me that's the girl that i long to know oh how i love her so i'm looking for a girl who writes me songs and talks to jesus all day long and the way she does her hair no one else can compare i'll probably meet her at a show when i look at her i'll know that she's the perfect one for me and with her i will always be the one for me
HONEST ANSWERS
i'll try to shed some common sense, situation so intense many questions, don't know whys & all the lies got tempers risin' there's 2 or 3 sides to it all, but just one truth if i recall looking to & thinking through, the word of god infinite, true if you want honest answers, i know you do, so say it's true we all want honest answers, something true, it's nothing new you're threatened by what you don't understand, and it's time give up yourself, why won't you stop facading? this wicked world so set in the ways, you've been taought day after day this nations brainwashed, without a clue, still they know not what they do i can't cast the stone, cause iv'e got problems of my own but i'm discussing, being real, this just the way i feel
LATE LAST NIGHT
late last night so many thoughts were going thru my mind since the fall selfish, sophist people; i guess that means us all we all have fallen short that's no surprise but why must we refuse to open up our eyes we're so scared we might find something better than we are deeper means life has got a purpose it's intrinsically in all
BIASED BIGOTRY
it's so easy to find the faults in everyone else & not look at myself i'm geting used to not having to look at the facts of where i'm at you don't know me so don't judge me your biased bigotry can't control me god's son my judge only he & not you who ar you you see my skin god see's my heart deep within the way i see the way it seems to me i won't agree you can't live my life for me
CIRCUMSTANCE
are you happy with your life? you make just enough to scrape by you pay the rent, and your check is spent where did last weekend go you wasted all your flow and you dont remember where it went drinking smoking cigarettes working but you're still in debt thinking losing self-esteem. how can this be, happening? you might have the temporary, superficial happiness that you buy with money you don't have. do you tell yourself, it's just the first time or maybe the last time which is your circumstance life is not a job or a career. living is not smoking and drinking beer a gift to receive and not to take the free thinking choice is yours to make
DO YOUR FEET HURT
can i call you sweetheart or even baby doll? if i had your number, you'd be getting a phone call can i leave you a message on your machine? letting you know that you're the bomb and you blew up on me are you anxious to see me after your next class? do you care when i tell you step around that broken glass? can i see you after you get out of school? i won't even mind if you treat me cruel take a ride on my vespa, i'll take you home i'll climb up to your window and read you a poem i know that you believe in the one true god above and that's why you're waiting for your one and only love do your feet hurt? did you fall from heaven? 'cause you've been running through my mind all day my mind don't mind i don't know what to say or do i can't eat when i'm with you goodnight sweetheart i gotta go and you won't come to my next show?

LIFE IN GENERAL
i don't understand what's going on in my life these days everything upside down turned around won't waste my life, no way and i don't know why i can't see clearly? i can't think 'cause it's too early so many doubts frequent my mind all the time our lives in general are one in the same, but there's no variations our lives in general are on in the same but there's no difference of opinion in my younger years, i used to be so free but i don't know what's happening to me we all know by now that time's the enemy it controls us, tells us where to be don't know, don't care if you need me, i'll be right here

emotion, is my middle name. i lay in bed and listen to the rain. put happy thoughts in to my head. but i find instead the hurting words you said. why won't you believe me. when i tell you the things that i see?. and i'll still see you tomorrow, at the show. it's been a long winded, long time. i wish i'd never met you. i wish i could forget you. and what you said. you're directing your complaints to me. i should walk away, i could easily. never hear a word you say. i'm not your robot or your slave. i won't behave, i'm not your toy. go on go bury me with self righteousness. i confess, i'm just a boy
MY MOM STILL CLEANS MY ROOM
i'm not always nice, not always mean. my room has never been seen clean. the way i feel is not always how i seem. the thoughts that form inside my brain. don't always seem to entertain. 'cause when i tell my company. they think there's something wrong with me. you don't know me like you think you do. you don't understand me and it's true. i'm getting older day by day. ain't got time to get to everything. hold on tight, enjoy the ride. life is short, so live it wisely. i'm not always sick, but often tired. sometimes i'm having fun or wired. i don't have someone to call my own. i'm not full of all the answers. i guess that i'm an o.k. dancer. i just want to be left alone
DO YOUR FEET HURT
can i call you sweetheart or even baby doll?. if i had your number, you'd be getting a phone call. can i leave you a message on your machine?. letting you know that you're the bomb. and you blew up on me. are you anxious to see me. after your next class?. do you care when i tell you. step around that broken glass?. can i see you after you get out of school?. i won't even mind if you treat me cruel. take a ride on my vespa, i'll take you home. i'll climb up to your window and read you a poem. i know that you believe in the one true god above. and that's why you're waiting. for your one and only love. do your feet hurt? did you fall from heaven?. 'cause you've been running through. my mind all day. my mind don't mind. i don't know what to say or do. i can't eat when i'm with you. goodnight sweetheart i gotta go. and you won't come to my next show?
SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF
never quite just knew how to get it through. the utilitarian sloganeerian minds. and its time to stand up and redefine the lines. right now. compartmentalizing, isn't realizing. because it's not affecting change in the real world. so get on with your life and get over mine. there's only one world and there's many different tastes. so enjoy, don't employ your state. common goals, communicate to contemplate. the way things are and why. don't pawn the status quo problems off on the other guy. your a celebrity in your own world. catch phrases only catching cobb webs. spiritualized capital gain and wealth. isn't the means to the end, isn't the end itself. manifest individually. manifest a sense of reality. because it's non exclusive. don't be so elusively blind. things are never what they seem. you don't know what you'll find. right now!
THE WONDER YEARS
i don't understand what's going on in my life these days. everything upside down turned around. won't waste my life, no way. and i don't know why. i can't see clearly?. i can't think 'cause it's too early. so many doubts frequent my mind all the time. our lives in general are one in the same,. but there's no variations. our lives in general are on in the same. but there's no difference of opinion. in my younger years, i used to be so free. but i don't know what's happening to me. we all know by now that time's the enemy. it controls us, tells us where to be. don't know, don't care. if you need me, i'll be right here
MOVE TO BREMERTON
when i meet a special girl. she always lives somewhere else in the world. i don't want to call her on the phone. i wanna talk to her when i'm at home. move to bremerton - we'll hang out. move to bremerton - cause you wanna. move to bremerton - will you be mine?. (move to bremerton til' the end of time). i'll change the street signs you drive down. so you end up in my town. i'll re-draw the maps all one by one. so they all lead to bremerton. drop out of school and run away. quit your job, you got a place to stay. pack your bags and hitch a ride. bremerton's a good place to reside. if you owned a brain and use it too. you gotta know that i'd have a crush on you. i'm a sucker for a level headed girl with a pretty smile. she gotz to have ideas, yeah, and she gotz to have style
NEW YORK TO NOWHERE
going nowhere fast, watching cars go past. why won't the snow melt faster?. this trip is a disaster. 16 hour drive, just played in some dive. new york to nowhere, we're never gonna get there. a million miles away from everyone i know. stuck here night and day with 5 more days to go
ANDREA
meeting you was just so unexpected. i guess i was scared of being rejected. since you were so nice. i wouldn't think twice. i'd give it all away for one more day with you. if ever there was a girl to be engaged to. that amazing girl would have to be you. before we hung out. don't know how i lived without. your beautiful face - like god's amazing grace. andrea, i say your name and all i can do is. think about the way you smiled. and kinda sorta held my hand. went out for coffee in what must have been the smallest town in kentucky. andrea, we walked together. down the dirt road by the bridge. that we sat by each other. talked about a few things. you looked at me i looked at you. before you know, it's time to go!
YOUR PROBLEM MY EMERGENCY
get a clue, i'm not here for you. and i'm not like you. i'm not gonna do what you say is right. 'cause then i'll end up just like you. i'm gonna rebel, i'm gonna fight. this organized manipulation. learn to think before you speak. and you just might make a point. i'm just an average guy, is that hard to accept?. i live a normal life i've got no regrets. don't make me out to be something that i'm not. i never said i was anything, so don't expect me to be. why is your problem always my emergency?. this is no court of law, you're all speculation. sex masquerades as rock and roll. and manufactured music to save your soul. so go and do your homework. demographics target marketing
CHICK MAGNET
well he's a chick magnet, if ya know what i mean. the way the girlies just go to him. well ya should've seen. the guy yeah, he's got style and it's plain to see. smooth shoes and cool tattoos. hair pomped as tight as can be. he ain't got a girlfriend. no one to sing this song to. he's gotta settle down. if he meets that special girl soon. he knows just what to do. when it comes to the girls. he writes them poetry. and he picks them flowers. he knows just what to say. when it comes to the ladies. knows how to make a girl smile. how to drive a girl crazy
TODAY IS IN MY WAY
it breaks my heart it makes me sad. to think of all the times we had. you made me laugh and you make me cry. and all that i can do is sigh, and wonder why. how will i get through tomorrow. if i can't make it through today?. how will i get through tomorrow,. when today is in my way?. today is in my way. what's done is done and in the past. good things come and go so fast. you lokked up at me and said goodbye. all that i could do was sigh and wonder why. i deserve all that i get. serves me right i will admit. and today just won't go away
SORRY SO SORRY
i should have stayed in bed today. i couldn't think of a positive thing to say. my friends all hate me now. i was selfish and realize now. i have it a little time. i thought about it a while. ask to forgive and forget. crack a joke and a smile. it's hard to say you're sorry. when you know that you were wrong. the weight of hurting words. we often carry on. the annoying things i don't mind so much anymore. i've learned to tolerate the annoying four. i won't let the sun go down. when i've made a mistake. i'd make right what i've wronged. and give more that i take
DOING TIME
i remember times i had. some were happy, some were sad. memories me and my partners in crime. throwing up a thousand times. i got through it, i feel fine. i went to school and did my time. in a sense i'm out, in a sense i'm free. to be what i wanna be. fun was cartoons saturdays. fun was staying up past eight. lame was tring to fit in. lame was the wrong crowd let me it. you gotta stick together. with who you are and who you know. you gotta remember. where you've been and where you wanna go. i never did homework after school. did all the things i thought were cool. went out every friday night. i still do and i'm alright.
CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG
did you forget what's important in you life?. somewhat confused, everthing is going wrong. do you regret the decisions that you've made?. i don't expect a second chance to come along. you already found the book. with all the answers to all your questions. so take a closer look. you're in the turn land and i'm the intersection. did you forget when you wakled out of my room. to turn off the light and say goodnight. your answer's coming soon. i will admit in the end i'll be o.k.. i think it safe to say, you don't know. if we're better off this way. please don't forget how to laugh out loud. and be proud of yourself. i know you'll do what's right for you.
CRISTALENA
cristalena, ya she's so cool. crsitalena, she's out of control. half the time she don't know where she's at. cristalena don't know much about that. but you know, and i know cristalena. but you know, and i know where i've seen her. cristalena, she's in her own world. she's always happy as a littly girl. cristalen's nice unless she's annoyed. cristalena happens to like boys - but not me. cristalena, where'd you go?. don't even know where you've been. cristalena, won't you stay?. please don't go away, won't you be my friend?
DESTROYED BY YOU
can someone tell me why i'm feeling this way?. can someone tell me why this world is so grey?. it's never just black and white. so much went on tonight. was i wrong or was i right?. you think the whole world revolves around around your head. you are ignoring me, you haven't heard a word i've just said. why can't i just pull myself together?. what's done is done, never say never. always look for good in the bad. learn from the mistakes that i have had. i re and re-learn. to let it go. talk is easy. but it's so hard to show
SOUTHBOUND
it's all the same. same old town witha different name. that's fine by me. there's only one place that i wanna be. southbound on i-5. and windows down and music on the stereo. i'm drivin' and i'm dreamin'. there's no place i'd rather go. staring at white lines on the side of the road. (playing every night with the occasional fight). been on the road awhile. i gotto get back to a place with style. hang out, havin' fun. i gotta get back to the beach in the sun.

SUGARCOATED POISON APPLE
it eats at you i know, but it's so hard to let it go let yourself go yah just let yourself go it consumes you can't you see that sin hates everybody everybody, sin hates everybody even though i know the reasons why, it breaks me down i want to cry i search for comfort in a friend, when will my troubles ever end? the sugarcoated poisoned apple tastes so good that you can't see the death and decay that's inside and what it's done to me the sugarcoated poisoned apple tastes do good how could you know its deciteful lies and where you're gonna go
DO & DON'T
i still don't know what i want to do i'd probably still ask you if i knew what i'm doing now seems to be okay if it's your will if it's your way don't want to have to deal with pointless bureaucracy making sure where something goes or making sure that your agree well i don't even know what my choices are should i fly a plane, or should i drive a car? nothing's clear to me, my eyes won't do a thing for me i'll just wait right here, until i am what i will be whatever it is i'm sure i'll know, when the time comes he will show me what to do, and me where to go all i've got is a skateboard and a guitar i go to a lot of punk shows a i drive a car i don't like to work and i don't like to go to school the teachers think that i'm a girl and the kids they think that i'm uncool i'm just not interested in much of anything wouldn't want to be a president, don't want to be a king i just want to ride my skateboard just want to play my bass every now and then strum a chord, sometimes land right on my face have you any ideas? i can't tell by a chart i wanna do what he wants me to, i'm gonna do my part-yah!
TEENAGE POLITICS
no i'm not mad but i think they forget what it's like and how hard it is to be a teenager this is a new day and age, we read a different book where elvis ain't the rage and polyester ain't the look and will we change at all when we get old? or will we be the same? never do what were told well that depends on you, are you doing the right thing? it's not about control, it's about you and me and understanding teenage politics it's too confusing politics shmolitics it's too confusing is it time again to disagree about anything, everything and what's on tv it's a vicious circle, never ending a linear equation worldy extending no ill never be like you ill never ever be like you oh no! i'm just like you!
PUNK RAWK SHOW

THE OPPOSITE OF INTELLECT
it seems so hard to get away from last week and yesterday i have to sit right here and watch it all go by is this really happening? maybe this is just a dream when i wake up ill be someone else i don't want to grow up, not just yet i don't wanna have to see your false sence of reality i don't wanna grow up, not just yet i don't wanna have to know how to play in your game show just don't ask me if you're getting through to me just don't tell me the way that you want me to be you say ill fit nicely in society you only took a superficial look at me why can't i say i'm sick of you? is it wrong to say what's true? i'm skeptical about your point of view teaching us not to reflect, the opposite of intellect don't resist authority and you'll be fine you don't want me to speak my mind.
FALSE FICTION
they guarantee our freedom but freedom isn't real unless you know christ you won't know how i feel inflections of the way things were supposed to be the mental disorder of our society false finite ways of thinking false fiction they're believing entropy is still promoting chaos it's chaos, it's your loss maybe this world has stopped thinking maybe all their minds are shrinking your failed system is inducing chaos it's chaos, it's your loss building, moving forward never looking back taking what the world has offered, but you forgot the pack common sense,logic,science, a humble self esteem live to die and die to gain, abort the selfish scene
FALLING DOWN
you're only interested when our power's threatened you're only paranoid cause you know what you're doing you know what you've done and what you're about to do the conspiracy to your inconsistency could it be your spirit's dead? why do you run away when faced with these questions? i know you know it but you just won't say you built this conformist system you built this state and now you're falling down your education teaches us not to resist subjects don't question kings it disrespect, they slam you in the face with their fist you'll do anything to keep from falling down!
MONEY TREE
four more years ain't right for me, i don't think so won't let them teach me how to be a money tree that's what you are that's all you'll ever be a money tree they've got you planted in the ground, you don't know it they make you put your money down & they take it never want to be your money tree
RAINY DAY
they just point the finger they don't care they don't think i know you think where did i go wrong? what did i do? where did i conflict with you? you can't tell me that you care when you're never ever there i don't ask a lot from you but you've got better things to do i thought i knew you i don't know do you just want me to go? cause i'll go actions over words to you i'm nothing you seem so far away where are you today? don't just leave me in a box then walk away don't just put me in a box for a rainy day for a rainy day...
LIKE SAND THROUGH THE HOURGLASS...
"like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of out lives" it seems like every time i get something going it falls apart right in my hands it seems like every time i get it figured out and i have no doubt, that's when i'm farthest from the truth my world is breaking down around me i see my destroyed world in front of me any and every thing i trusted i weep for my world disgusted i always learn the hard way, there ain't an easy way to learn that's what i've learned was i tought the right things tought the right? i don't know and that is all i know
DEMOCRACY
believing the lies defines american they don't realize their ignorance and sin democracy ain't real it's a fairytale anarchy now then spend the night in jail i won't pretend that it ain't wrong i won't just go along humanity is deseased and the sickness has increased for the people by the people who's considered people anyway? the rich get richer and the poor get poorer so much for equal opportunity!
SOMETHING MORE
i've lost all words to say, driving everyone away am i really all that bad, or am i going mad? i'm a face from yesterday, always in the way hiding all my pain, it's driving me insane if you fell this way, each and everyday there's got to be something more you want your like to change, something's got change so live for something more no one ever calls, you're sick of it all your friends don't come around, they all let you down what's gotten into you? there's nothing you can do to make it all seem right, so why put up a fight?
DIFFERENT THINGS
she's been told so many differnt things she just don't know what she believes it all makes sense at the time but don't forget that we are blind when the obvious is real she still ignores the way she feels you can run jump sit or stand around but not for long unless you've found jesus christ, god, son and sacrifice believe in him, he'll open up your eyes.
MISUNDERSTANDING
been told once, been told twice he just won't listen to advice it's in god's book but he don't wanna look his friends say it's so uncool you're better off without those rules your life's your own, you live it alone he can't ignore his misunderstanding leaves him sore he can't explain why his life is full of so much pain he parents pushed it on him he wasn't ever really interested now he's old enough to make up his own mind he was only going through the motion now he's drawing in the ocean of these hateful times & he believes he's right
STUDY HUMANS
everyday i go to school and study humans i sit and watch them all go by everyday's a new day to study humans i sit and ovserve this girl named bri with my eye all those mannerisms and the funny things the do humans and their dogmas the defend so selfisly i'm planning to take over cause i hate living on the moon they won't get suspicious cause the soaps are on at noon
INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW
how you fell depends on what you think about what you need depends on what you can't live without how you act goes right back to the way you feel what you see isn't always what is real so where do we go? and what do we do? you're asking me and i'm asking you to be real with yourself and don't play the game of daily life, it's all the same the way you think depends on what you're going thru what you create comes from deep inside of you what you know makes the difference in what you hate what you love depends on how you relate inquiring minds want to know.
I'M THE BAD GUY
legalistic people suck legalism makes me sick i wonder what makes them tick? i wanna go puke on it ephesians verse 2:8 states god has saved us not by works but by grace so what's it gonna take? there's no getting through to you so what's it gonna take? there's no getting through to you i'm way to young to have a point of view this whole thing just bums me out, jesus knows my heart but you don't care you've already made up you mind i try to change my attitude but it's really hard i'm so sick of you, god is gonna pull through
AMERICANISM
have they got what they wanted? cause they've taken everything was it for the money? or is political power to blame? would you die for your country? false freedom and liberty they're lying when they tell us this is the home of brave and land of the free why aren't we against them? cause we know that they are wrong we're the biggest faction and they've had control too long americanism, nationalism, bow to the flagism! militaristic, egotistic, high class and capitolistic!
DELORES
my girl hates the ira it's true she just a fantasy don't know her she don't know me we'd make the perfect memory nothing in this world could be better than falling in love with her she'd write me the most beautiful of songs
