the first time i saw the descendents, they were the fastest band i'd ever seen
no one in the crowd really cared for them, we were waiting for The Ally Cats to play
after a couple months i heard Kabuki Girl, on Rodney On The Roo late sunday night
that was enough for me, i hopped the bus to Licorice Pizza and baught my all
time favorite record

the next time i went to the whiskey, it was DOA with Millions of Dead Cops

It's so easy to defend the Status Quo
with everyone so cool and cynical
But when you see the end don't justify the means
It's just that 180 degrees

The great thing about bein' a human
The ability to reason
But reasoning don't work when no one cares

I'm not here to entertain you
I'm here to meet my friend the Russian
The Irish, the German, the Columbian

I don't care how bad I fuck up
I care about how fucked up I get
I'm not your clown
I'm your dealer

They don’t hate us, they just hate their lives
And desperate people learn to despise
The suicidals, don’t want a clue
They don’t wanna blow up
They just want they 72

72 virgins can never stop a war
But 100 000 hookers can beat them a recur

Billy Cobin lost it all
We knew he would eventually
Some wonders why he took the fall
Others just ask who the hell is he
And why should we care for him?

A baggy man with baggy clothes
A face made of paper mache

All of me, why not take all
Can't you see I'm no good without you?
Take these arms, I want to lose them
Take these lips, I'll never use them
Your goodbye left me with eyes
How can I go on dear without you?
You took the best so why not take the rest?
Why not take all of me?

I'm not insane, I'm not bummed out
I got no one to blame, nothing to change
I got no evil to fight

One thing's for sure, I'm all Outta angst
Society don't bother me
And there's something wrong with that

Hello, welcome to our disc
Turn it up and get your neighbors pissed
Or turn it down, it don't matter to me

Take two placebos and call me lame

Can't you see my soul worn on the second sleeve
It's going up for sale as soon as it gets saved

- Hey Hefe
- What?
- What do you call a guy who hangs out with musicians?
- Uh... you?

- Hey Fat Mike, what's a Jewish dilemma?
- I don't know
- Free ham!

Birds sing there s not a cloud in the sky
Yeah, August 8th is a beautiful day
I see a bunch of hippies crying yeah
August 8th is a beautiful day
Like waking up from a real bad dream
Suddenly everything is ok
The storm has passed the sun is shining
Yeah August 8th is a beautiful day

We don't care,
Cause we're in a gang
Parties that we go end up in a bang
Look at us funny and we'll shoot you dead
While we're there we'll fill 'em with lead
We follow the gangs, we are the worst
We'll be the last one,
But we weren't the first

Tired of shootin' smack, tired of on the run, traded the needle... for the gun
Tired of livin' small, tired of the withdrawal, no more retreat, give it the all

Oh Benny how many times you tried to kill yourself,
OD's and robberies and super stunts, I never thought you'd die for them

Riding around in tanks, fire a round of blanks, Benny had never had such fun
Until he took a wrong step into a bomb, and that's when Benny got blowed up

У меня нет никакого почтения,
Никакого взаимного уважения
К миллиардам тех, кто страдает от
Недостатка рационального мышления
Я не хочу тратить впустую ни единой фразы
Я не хочу кого-то переубеждать
Потому что это закончится презрением,
Недоверием и только ухудшит ситуацию

How many polluted my mind
Dough what our lives are lived for
Rae just a crazy aussie
Me the generation forges on
Fodder for corporations
Sewwing our lips together
LA such a nice placteto get shot
But don't forget the T it

You know it (know it, know it)
When it's over (over, over)
Doors are closing (closing, closing)
Feel the sober (sober, sober)
Staring at you (at you, at you)
You know you'd better take one last good look

One more round then it's bottles to the ground

Somebody hear me, somebody listen to me
Am I alone in this world
Is there anyone listening?
Appease me, can't find a reason to be
Alienation, is taking over me

I'm going away, can't go on any longer
I really don't know why I just gotta die

I once heard a song about it never rains in Southern California
I once saw a band play at the farm sober, I hadn't had a drink
Like cleaning gums or hugging bums or doing something that you knows good for ya
Those times are tedious and tenuous and hopefully much shorter than a blink

I'm so easy to dechiphe
I could rationalize for life
But from all the strife I caused, I gotta go without

She asked me if I was a singer then called me has-been
She said she really liked my band in the early 90's
I said stop saying those mean things, my ego is so fragile
And then she called me a poseur punk
Why don't I drink up and get the hell out
Cuz I'm a sellout

That berating kinda bummed me out so I left the Parkside

All the way from Palm Springs, just out of detox
Show him a warm welcome, let's get some applause

Greetings all, hello
Welcome to my show
I'm sure you'll have fun
Watching me juggle
8 balls at one time

I was backstage at a festival in Germany
Talking to a cute, fair-skinned brunette
I asked her if she wanted to have a beer and if she liked our set
I noticed that her hair was longer in the back
I figured that's cuz she's Canadian
That's why I was surprised when she told me that she was fully lesbian
That's when I realised it was Sara or maybe it was Tegan
I'm pretty sure that it was Sara

Don't believe a word your grandfather says
He's been classified grade a psychotic
You can see it from the hole in his head
A saner man would have used a bigger gun

Degeneration ah ah ah ah
The lunatic clause was written for you

It could have been helped, it might have been saved
With me at the helm, I could have found ways
To keep it afloat and find a new course
But I steered the ship right into the cliffs

The easy way out, a cowardly move
A short sighted plan made by a self-centered man
The crew stayed with the ship and bailed as one

We believe in a drug free America
A drug free America for me
That's the way we believe
The way that it should be

Drug free America for me

Like in Amsterdamn where drugs are bought and sold legally

1-2-fuck off, drop out, never trust a fucking hippie
And for that matter don't trust anyone.
Quit school, don't work, livin' out the music de punk.
If I could do it so could anyone.

Drugs are good, they let you do things that you know you not should.
And when you do 'em people think that you're cool.
And when you do 'em people think that you're cool.

Dresser drawers are filled with pocket change
Coupons cut, cigarettes smoked down to the butt,
Is this what dreams are made of!
Adding up subtracting down you find yourself sucking the rind
Dying degree, graying amie
Final payment made - had you forgot?
The rightful owner of one deluxe cemetary plot
Paisley satin lined how apprapoe

Why must we stay where we don't belong
Why must we stay where we don't belong

Because there's never gonna be enough space
So eat the meek, savor the taste
It's always gonna be a delicacy
So Lick your chops and eat the meek

Originally by The Dickies

Dear Sirs,
To whom is may concern
theres facts I'd like to learn
so many things I wanna know
especially trivial info paraphernalia
badges and regalia please send me everything

This is not a test, not true, this kind of is a test of our endurance
There's really no one left to place the blame on and hang in effigy
This was not ruined by a regime, it also took a hundred million
Of angry, stupid, scared, pathetic populace to complete the deed

And it's a long, long way down
And there's no climbing back so wave bye bye
And it’s a long, long free dive

My father used to say
You sleep with dogs the next day
You'll wake in the bed scratching
Those inevitable fleas
At ten years old
You listen to what you are told
But I never felt the itch
I never would

I never thought about the universe, it made me feel small
Never thought about the problems of this planet at all
Global warming, radio-active sites
Imperialistic wrongs and animal rights! No!

Why think of all the bad things when life is so good?
Why help with an 'am' when there's always a 'could'?
Let the whales worry about the poisons in the sea

I never thought about the universe, it made me feel small
Never thought about the problems of this planet at all
Global warming, radioactive sites
Imperialistic wrongs and animal rights, NO!

Why think all the bad things when life is so good?
Why help with an end when there's always a could?
Let the whales worry about the poisons in the sea

I never thought about the universe, it made me feel small.
Never thought about the problems of this planet at all.
Global warming, radioactive sites
Imperalistic wrongs and animal rights. NO!

Why think all the bad things when life is so good?
Why help with an end when there's always a could?
Let the whales worry about the poisons in the sea,

I'm on the wagon now but she doesn't know
I'm getting high on the down low
Cause when I got the music I got no place to go
Unless I got a bottle in me

I'm in the Cadillac, they're starting to stare
Who's the guy with the blood in his hair
The last thing I remember I was going somewhere

Brothers and sisters
Have you heard the news?
The storm has lifted and
There's nothing to lose
So swap your confirmation for your
Dancing shoes because there never was a god
Step out of the darkness and onto the streets
Forget about the fast

Aimless ain't got no where to go
All my thoughts have gone…
Ready?

Mother Mary had a son
Whose days were spent on having fun
And Monday he got a letter: “you could make yourself feel better”
Mother Mary had a man who healed with healing hands

Sometimes I think of all the places I don't wanna go
Then I think of all the things I never wanna do
I think of all the people I didn't wanna meet
I close my eyes and go to sleep

Tully, baby, you're trapped behind your golden bars
I'm the prince of poverty I hang around in bars
Your life's a Mercedes, a mansion with a pool

She'll have another piece of pie
She'll have a double reuben rye
She works hard at eating well
That's why I love her

She's got a couple of pony kegs
Her arms are bigger than my legs
And when she holds me I can't breathe

I liked going to school,

I didn't want to fool around with drugs

Cuz all of my friends were dropping out

I had to get stuff done, I wasn't fun

I liked going to school,
I didn't want to fool around with drugs
Cuz all of my friends were dropping out
I had to get stuff done, I wasn't fun
I didn't try pot 'til I was 21,
but now I'm overcompensating

I'd like to see what morning looks like

I gotta pee!
I gotta pee!
I gotta pee!
I gotta pee!
I gotta pee!
I gotta pee!
I gotta pee!
I gotta pee!

Open yourself, let me inside
Open your arms, I have nowhere
To go, so let me into you
I need to be where nothing can hurt me

Open your legs to let me crawl
Inside of you, I need to be
Inside your womb, so take me home

Mascara hides the sleepless nights
Years of abuse, the downs and highs
A lonely drunk staggers on stage
Weathered and worn, battered and broken, I feel my age
Like a puppet on strings, look he strums and he sings, I feel like a cartoon
I'm alone on the stage, I'm the man on the moon

You know how it is!
I'm... I'm... I'm...
I'm 40 now and I got a family and I got shit to do.
And, you know, I made the decision when I was 40...
I'm goin' on the wagon, you know?
No more drinking, no more drug taking, no... oh, this?
This is a beer, but... you know... this is light beer!
It's... it's not even like drinking beer!

Jamaica's alright, ooou ooou ooou
Jamaica's alright, ahhh ahhh ahhh
Jamaica's alright, (middle of a knife fight)
Jamaica's alright

Jamaica's alright, if you wanna get in the middle of a knife fight
Jamaica's alright, if you wanna get AIDS or dysentery
Jamaica's alright, if you wanna be mugged or murdered

Jamaica's alright, if you wanna get in the middle of a knife fight
Jamaica's alright, if you wanna get AIDS or dysentery
Jamaica's alright, if you wanna be mugged or murdered
Jamaica's alright, if you're a misogynist, or a homophobe

Jamaica's alright, if you like only one kind of music
Jamaica's alright, if you like small bananas and spiders
Jamaica's alright, if you wanna buy drugs from your hotel room

Johnny has a problem
Johnny is out of control
He had a TV party
With the kids in the black hole
Stealing people's mail
And lynching the landlord
Things to do when angry, young and bored
Johnny was only a lad

Through word of mouth
Let it be known
The man who spends
His life on a mission
He's legendary

Travelling from
Coast to coast

The white man call himself civilized
Cause he know how to take over
The white man come to pillage my village
Now he tell me I have to bend over

Oh yeah, kill all the white man

No I don't like the white man up in me

"Kill the rockstars" how ironic, Kathleen
You've been crowned the newest queen
Kinda like the punk rock Gloria Steinham
Can't change the world by hating men
Can't change the world by blaming men

Just cause I don't know the reason you're so pissed
Don't dare tag me misogynist

I got something to say
I killed your baby today
And it doesn't matter much to me
As long as it's dead

Well I got something to say
I raped your mother today
And it doesn't matter much to me

I, wish I could go, so far away
Where time moves too slow, day after day

I'll wait, and I'll sit and watch the clouds as they go by
I'll wait, and I'll sit and watch the clouds as they go by

I have the sensation where laziness
Procrastination is what I do best

Breath ever so soft,
We wouldn't wanna break the eggs as we walk.
Never alone, cautious, afraid,
I hear the voice of reason on the P.A.

Leave it alone, follow the grain,
We couldn't stop the irresistible force.
Leave it the same, change with the winds

We call the heartland not very smart land,
IQ's are very low but threat levels are high
They got a mandate, they don't want man-dates,
they got so many hates and people to despise

In the dust bowl, cerebral black hole,
the average weight is well over 200 pounds
I hate to generalize, but have you seen the thighs,

Possessions never meant anything to me
I'm not crazy
Well that's not true, I've got a bed, and a guitar
And a dog named Bob who pisses on my floor
That's right, I've got a floor
So what, so what, so what?
I've got pockets full of kleenex and lint and holes
Where everything important to me

Excuses for our money
Is that religion
One more dollar for
What Jesus has given
Hell is free
But you might have to pay for heaven
One more dollar
Is that religion

She's been around a couple years
Tasted 31 flavors, there's only one
She really hates,
That would be vanilla bean
The blandest one don't make her scream
And that's what she likes to hear the most

Liza's been around the block

Lori Meyers used to live upstairs
Our parents had been friends years
Almost every afternoon we'd play forbidden games
At nine years old there's no such thing as shame
It wasn't recognition of her face, what brough me back was a familiar mark
As it flashed across the screen
I bought some magazines, some video tape scenes
Incriminating act, I felt that I could save her

She gotta walk with a silicone cock
Sticking in her ass, and one in her cunt
A butterfly vibrator strapped tight to her clit
But who's got the remote control?

That would belong to Louise
She's got a new pet, a real vaginal tease
Mommy's little girl is gonna do as she please

I will never feel the ribbon break
I will never taste sweet victory
I don't want to leave the rest behind
I don't want inscription on a plaque

Never first or second place
I won't ever run your rat race
I will always be lower than you

There’s a place where some of us choose to live
A gated community cops can’t come in
A neighborhood for punks over the hill
We’re spendin’ our golden years in mattersville
We can do whatever we want whenever we please
There’s always a keg of beer and a block of cheese
We got charams,pinball,asteroids,space invaders,and missile command

Medio-core
It’s not forsaken
The music they’re makin’
Will leave you with a feeling of indifference
How was the band?
They were okay (okay)
Not great (all right)
But pretty good

I take her to the aquarium, she says shark
I take her to the planetarium, she says dark
I take her to the seaside
Where she likes to spin and twirl
She says sure and cool and yeah
She's my monosyllabic girl

I take her to the university, she says huh

there's no monsters in the closet
that's what mother said
there's no boogie man or zombies underneath my bed
when there's scratches on the window
she said its only branches in the breeze
there's no Freddie Kruger, Blair witch, there's no chucky doll
there just characters in movies
they're not real at all

I wanna see the constitution burn
Wanna watch the white house overturn
Wanna witness some blue blood bleed (fucking) red

I wanna tar and lynch the KKK
I wanna pull and shoot the NRA
[I wanna pay the lobbyists to kill themselves]
[I wanna dose the DEA]

My father had dementia
He lied in bed for months
Once in a while he'd call me
And ask me to fly down

I told him that I'd love to
But I had things to do
And so he died without his son

Inconsequent, social infant, insolent, insignificant
And you're my sycophant
Brown noser, confidante poser
Shoved down the garbage disposer, sycophant
Yes feeder, accolade breeder
Like I need another cheerleader
You're spineless and morally impotent
You're my sycophant

My vagina has two sets of lips, but I don t got monthly blood drips
My vagina hardly even used
My vagina got lot s of extra skin, they took my outtie and made it an in
Changing donnie into Marie Osmand

Operation successful, but now I gotta pee threw a miniature hole
Gotta remember to put the seat down and when I wipe my ass
I go from front to back Cause I don t want to get a bladder infection

[Melvin]
Life on a mattress in a robe,
in a room full of emptiness

[Fat Mike]
Knowledge has much better uses than self-pitty and superiority

[Melvin]

nofx - one way ticket to Fuckneckville

no sleep 'till Fuckneckville
it's kinda funny, you may not realize it until
phone calls stop, can't get laid
you find out where the parties were some time the next day

one way ticket to seclusion, now you lose it all

Even if it's easy to be free
What's your definition of freedom?
And who the fuck are you, anyway?
Who the fuck are they?
Who the fuck am I to say?
What the fuck is really going on?
How did the cat get so fat?
Why does the family die?

Give her a call for demerol and amyl nitrite
I tell her dad, don't worry sir we won't stay out late

I'm in love with her
The pharmacists daughter
She's got my love
I get her drugs

There's something wrong with mass consumption
Why do we want what we don't need
Alcohol burnit clean asphalt methamphetamine
Will make it seem alright It's gonna make it seem alright
Living in the hunger underground
Some people say I got a problem with authority so
what if I do man it beats relinquished control

Who's gonna be the first to OD
at PRB? Who's it gonna be?
I hope it's not Mel
I really hope it's not me.
But one of these years
someone's gonna OD.
It probably won't be a Stern
and definitely not Shawn.

It's funny how nothing seems much fun
Anymore to me now that I quit the drink
'Cause soberness, it might be what I need
But, it's certainly not how I wanna be

Cause nothing seems much fun anymore to me

Consequence never had any time to think

First they put away the dealers,
keep our kids safe and off the street.
Then they put away the prostitutes,
keep married men cloistered at home.

Then they shooed away the bums,
then they beat and bashed the queers,
turned away asylum-seekers,

Stop! Have a beer it's on me
Has anyone ever told you that you
That you look like a star
When you're sitting at the bar.

So I drink, cause it makes me
Happier than being alone.
My good friend, Johnny Walker

Gigin alone at the bottom of the hill
Our protagonist named Bill
Sets his sights on an anchor steam pint
All he needs is thirteen quarters
Congregated in his hat

A crow, a scavenger type
California redemption provides him with his rent

Let's go!

It's three o'clock at the Triple Rock
Another round of watching batty talk

It's where you wanna get snowed in when you can
Snowing outside it's ten below

It's 3 o'clock at the Triple Rock, another round of watching Paddy talk
It's where you wanna get snowed in when you get
Snowed in, outside it's 10 below, is it day or night, we don't care or know
What we know is that we don't wanna be
Anywhere but here, please don't make us leave
When in Minnesota and you got a drinking quota

I'm seeing double at the Triple Rock, we're still here watching Paddy talk

So she cried alone for hours
and she did lines off the floor
as she thought of the unthinkable
then she crushed up even more
she never thought they’d take her baby
she didn’t even know that anybody could
and even though she was the only parent they
still took him from her arms for his own good

A blackened wick is what remains
The flame was blown out just recently
Although the candle hadn't burned down to the stick
It won't be lit again, the day won't be quite as bright
We don't know what she may have been
All we know is what she left behind
An apartment cluttered with children's toys,
Photos of good times

It's kinda hard to wear high heels, or slip on banana peels
How does she get in and out of tubs
I hope she don't get mad, I hope she thinks this song is good not bad
Cause we think that she's totally rad, she's nubs.

No fingers, no toes, she doesn't own elbows,
No phalanges no knobby knees to knock
She don't need knuckles or hands to go see punk rock bands

It's kinda hard to wear high heels, or slip on banana peels
How does she get in and out of tubs
I hope she don't get mad, I hope she thinks this song is good not bad
Cause we think that she's totally rad, she's nubs.

No fingers, no toes, she doesn't own elbows,
No phalanges no knobby knees to knock
She don't need knuckles or hands to go see punk rock bands

Ah, never thought it could happen to me,
But it did, now look at me,
I'm alone, standing in my cell,
Staring at the wall, living in hell.

All of my life I never said when,
I did it again and again,
Breaking, smashing, and stealing

Gonna find some girls tonight
My Friday night has washed away
Beer bong has me wandering around
The girls that look like drugs and alcohol

Six pack girls,
Six pack girls
Six pack girls

Sometimes I feel my life is going 'round in circles
Beneath my eyes are bluish black
There's nothing new, no one I wanna talk to
Nothing I wanna think about, I got soul doubt
I stick My head out of the window, when it's closed
Instead of air, I get glass stuck in to my head
The city's sounding, and I can't seem to stop the pounding
Can't keep my thoughts from flying 'round

Welcome to the spaghetti motel
where it's ok to be a loser
as long as you're doing it well
you're welcome at the spaghetti motel

Lucas is his name
his photographs will bring him fame
you wont see his face in a movie scene

When I look 'round, I only see outta one eye As the smoke surrounds my head, the sauna I hear the voices, but I can't make out their words Saying things, saying things that I got something sticking in my eye Got something sticking in my eye Got something sticking in my eye I feel unusual from thinking About the underground decay, God help me Kill beneath the camera, watch the world begin to cry It's not from pity, it comes from What's been sticking in my eye Got something sticking in my eye

When I look ’round, I only see outta one eye
As the smoke surrounds my head, the sauna
I hear the voices, but I can’t make out their words
Saying things, saying things that
I got something sticking in my eye
Got something sticking in my eye ( x 2 )
I feel unusual from thinking
About the underground decay, God help me

She once told me not to listen
Find the answers, intuition
Follow no one, trust your instincts
Face the world, find out it stinks

Don't come crying, don't come crying
Don't come cry to me
I'm not your friend, I'm just your lover

Can't you see my soul, on the record sleeve?
It's going up for sale, as soon as it gets saved
Interrogation blues, once again I lose
You don't get to magnify my insecurities
You don't get to site and save my unhip-ocracies (not for sale)

Take two placebos, then you can call me lame
Walk some in my shoes, then tell me to fuck off

Monday is my favorite time of year

I'm gonna tell you what I really think I like about Mondays
Cause they feel like Saturdays
When you don't gotto go to work
Every day is a holiday
I wake up when I want to
I do anything I wanna do

Endless evenings of non-exist
Are getting shorter, monotonous
Like an intruder, I belong outside
Although I find myself right back
The same place I was before
Saying things I'd say once more

There's no reason for me to be here, no

Friday night we'll be drinking Manishevitz
Going out to terrorize Goyem
Stomping shagitz, screwing shicksas
As long as we're home by Saturday morning

Cause hey, we're the Brews
Sporting anti-swastika tattoos
Oi Oi we're the boys

I've got respect from the community,
I've got my bridge game to look forward to,
I've got this chance, a golden opportunity,
As long as I keep doing what I'm supposed to.

You see my wife and kids, they depend on me,
To provide them with nothing but the best,
I feel it's my duty, my obligation,

it's not the right time to be sober
now the idiots have taken over
spreading like a social cancer, is there an answer?

Mensa membership exceeding
tell me why and how are all the stupid people breeding
Watson, it's really elementary
the industrial revolution

In the darkest tunnel it's nice to see a light
Not just a headlight
Like the one that's heading right for me
It would be nice if things could turn out right
Turn out right yeah
Don't think I'll ever see the day

I must have done something wrong

When they tightly strap me in, give me lethal injection,
Just a few moments to live, no remorse for what I did,
Was for the betterment of man, I gave the utmost sacrifice,
Before more damage could be done I took his life.

There was a split second of silence when the dart punctured the skin,
Beady eyes rolled back in head, the body dropped from the poison,
They could incapacitate me, but could not erase my sneer,

We meet in underground parking lots
And late night in coffee shops
With voices low unless weÂ?re drunk
We got hats and cop sunglasses
We question all that is wrong
We discuss conspiracy
Are we enemies of the state?
Or idealist bourgeoisie?

Be a winner not a problem admitter un quit
(I quit, I'm shit)
Better to be a hepper than a healthy 12 stepper, forfeit
(I'm shit)
You wanna keep it goin’ but you don’t know how
Everyone at meetings gets a Löwenbräu
You quit (I quit)
You’re shit (I’m shit)

[Father:] Hey Kids!
[Kids:] Hey Dad!
[Father:] What'do ya want to do today?
[Kids:] We don't know.
[Father:] Do you wanna go to the matinee?
[Kids:] NO!
[Father:] Do you wanna go to the Amusement Park?
[Kids:] NO!

I don't feel like movin'
Don't feel like talkin'
I'm feelin' a little Stephen Hawking today
I barely feel like rollin'
There's no way I'm rockin'
I'm feelin' a little Stephen Hawking
Hey hey hey

Have you ever noticed things grow sour?
Just when it was getting good
New bands every hour
Then you have to go and call it dead
And ruin it for everyone who
Just began to bend

I won't let you say what's right and wrong

It's like seeing a car crash from inside the car
The driver's got his head craned back he's telling you a joke
You see the bus on collision course
You point your arm and turn your head and wait for the impact
This is the feeling we learn to live with in North America
The morning headlines always accompanied with sweat and nausea
Every week another puzzle piece gets permanently glued into place

We Called It America

Remember when America
Had a middle class and an upper class
That was way before the exodus
That was the America that we thought was number one
[That would never cough?] that would never die

With our ass
In the air
And our heads
In the ground
There's no sense
Of despair,
Without sight,
Without sound.

Brilliant? A word describing something dumb
You create to desecrate the villain I've become
A prophet, not to be made but heard
Speaks in tongues and sarcasm
To me it's plain, to you absurd
You don't know me let alone my intent
Actions do not always self represent
I don't feel urgency in explaining

Mom and dad, how'd ya get so rad, when exactly did you get so hip
Wearing teenage clothes you're always coming to my shows
And telling me that I should mellow out

It's absurd, you're singing every word.
You're not supposed to like my bands, things I like you don't understand
So please put down that rum and coke, that's no behavior for old folks

Whatever Didi wants, she's gonna get it
Whatever Didi wants, she's gonna get it
Whatever Didi wants, she's gonna get it

I wouldn't walk 500 miles, when I could fly coach
But almost anything
I wouldn't swim, across the Nile
When I could get a amoebic disentary

Mom and dad
How'd you get so rad?
When exactly did you get so hip?

Wearing teenage clothes
You're always coming to my shows
And telling me that I should mellow out

Whoops I OD'd, shortness of breath, call ambulence, tell my wife I love her
Error in judgement cut my life, no second chance, no guiding light
I never meant, to cause., you pain
I never thought I'd be the one who took the fall
I got lost in the moment, assholes like to test the limit

Six minutes down, breathing machine, brain not feel right
The look on you, is killing me, drowning in shame

Whoops I OD'd,
Shortness of breath.
Call ambulance,
Tell my wife I love her .
Error in judgment cut my life,
No second chance, no guiding light.

I never meant to cause you pain,

We are Rome, Aztec Mexico, Easter Island paradigm
We are followers of Jimmy Jones, cutting in the kool-aid line

We are Animal Farm Pigs, we are a Terry Gilliam film
We are fear Oligarchy, we are wolves in wolves' clothing,
We are this planet's kidney stones

In the process of getting passed, metamorphosis from first to last

Life is fast but I don't wanna live past you, cause you are my only roots
I was the king of the drug booze thing now I've worn out the soles of my party boots
So call me shit-faced Master of Disgrace, I don't care cause my outer skin
Is thick like crust, and a liver that's rusted out, now I'm on a list

Everybody wants to give a shit outta me, I won't give it but I'll give ambivalence
I gotta memory box cause my memory blocks me, from remembering weeks
All the blacked out nights into white out mornings, into grey matter damagings

It's funny how some fables became historic
When the authors clearly wrote them to be metaphoric
But people will believe anything if it's written
Especially in stone or ancient scroll
December 25th has been blacklisted
Since Dawkins found the proof Jesus never existed
It was the last thing anyone ever expected
Xmas has been X'd

I say don't drink and drive
You might spill your drink
Before you get behind the wheel, just stop & think
You can take your chances
But there's so much to lose
Another bumpy road,
There's so much wasted booze

You're wrong about virtues of Christianity
And you're wrong if you agree with Sean Hannity
If you think that pride is about nationality, you're wrong

You're wrong when you imprison people turning tricks
And you're wrong about trickle down economics
If you think that punk rock doesn't mix with politics, you're wrong

The first time I saw the descendents, they were the fastest band I’d ever seen
No one in the crowd really cared for them, we were waiting for the ally cats to play
After a couple months I heard kabuki girl, on rodney on the roo late sunday night
That was enough for me, I hopped the bus to licorice pizza and baught my all time favorite record

The next time I went to the whiskey, it was doa with millions of dead cops
The latter band played faster than I could believe
But the songs sounded the same and kinda sucked
