Off the Wagon
02:07
|
|||
Sunday morning's coming down
On a bar on the other side of town
Blood-stained shirt from the fight last night
I should know what's wrong
I should know what's right
But I don't because that's just who I am
I try so hard but I just end up back here again
It's a long long night, it always is
The smoke hurts my throat
And the beer tastes like piss
Here I am, here I am
Off the wagon again
Here I am, here I am
I just don’t understand
I can't leave this fucking place
Wednesday morning's gone and past
Someone told me this life would never last
Stuck in a ditch and you can't move
Tattoo on your leg says, 'Born to lose'
And you will because that's just who you are
You've had a long life and you've got your battle scars
You've had one too many too many times
Told all your friends you could quit anytime

Jimmy Fought the World
01:44
|

Jimmy fought the world and you know he won
He's got a pen and he's got a gun
He wears his politics on his shirt
He knows it'll be a lot of work
He knows he'll show them all
Jimmy fought the world and you know he won\
Jimmy's got a gun and he's got a pen
The end is coming but he don't know when
He's got a plan for this whole damn race
He cares about how your freedom tastes
He knows he'll show them all
It's a one way ticket
Success or hell
You're all invited
To show them all
He's tired of playing this game
Because all government's the same

I Don't Care
01:11
|
|||
This might be it we've got nothing to lose
Don't tell me to care you're not in these shoes
Yeah I bought in, Yeah I breathe
But that's all you're fucking getting from me
Because I don't care about anything
They say that this is paradise
But I don't see nothing when I roll that dice
Two black eyes staring at me
Saying, 'Pay up son this life ain't free'

What They Want
01:36
|
|||
What they want is what you've got
They want your body and your thoughts
They've been after you for quite some time
Little did you know, they've always been in your mind
And you're running and you're running
But you can't get away
And it burns you to your core
Day by fucking day
You try to get away
But you can't find the will
So sit down, shut up and
Stay fucking still
Alternative agendas
About where they're going to send you
To the bank or to the battle
They're raising you and herding you and
Slaughter you like cattle
On that Sunday afternoon
When you're praying to the god
That they told you to
Your money's all gone and
Your kids are at war
Keep asking yourself
What was it all for?
What did they want?
You're what they want

Speak for Yourself
02:07
|
|||
Do you hear those voices?
The ones inside your head
They're not your imagination
So pay attention to what they say
Parents, teachers, politicians
Religious figures with fucked up visions
Telling you how to speak
How to live and how to act
Your freedom is defined by them
Deconstruct their lies
Reconstruct your lives
Speak for your self
Recognize their mechanisms of control
Stand up for your rights
Take your backs from off the wall
Justice, morals, way of life
Get a husband, get a wife
Victorian morals
Still rule over the West
So put their process to the test
Deconstruct their lies
Reconstruct your lives

This Distortion
02:00
|
|||
She says that she needs poetry
But she don't know where she's at
She's proven she's too blind to see
That this is as close as she’ll ever get
She don't know what she wants
She don't know what she's looking for
All this abstraction is a distraction
And it consumes her more and more
She's living in an abstract world
This ain't just music and she's not just a girl
But you know that's not true
She loves this distortion through and through
This ain't no poetry
This music is a reality

Same Old Story
02:30
|
|||
You're 18 now and you've finally got a choice
Whatcha' going to do now that you've got a voice
Screaming socialism from your bedroom floor
Screaming revolution but you don't know what for
You didn't know what to do but it felt all right
Socialism in your heart and a whole lot of fight
Talk of better worlds over ryes and beers
All it really did was lessen your fears
It's the same old story
Dreams stay dreams and life goes on
It's the same old story
Scratching your head because something ain't right
It's the same old story
Yesterday you could change the world
You're 24 now, you've got a job and a suit
Traded in your spikes, studs and boots
Living like they told you when you were young
Living like you hated when you were young
Tattoos become memories and regrets
Of a smoke-filled room that you'll never forget
You couldn't change the world but at least you tried
Now it seems like you're waiting every minute to die
You're 48 years old and you're living on UI
Computer screen played havoc with your eyes
Sit in your room and listen to Social D
Remember how ambitious you used to be

Revolution
02:19
|
|||
Someone start a revolution
We've got four but we need more
Join us on the streets together
We won't take this anymore
It's a revolution
Think smart, we can win this battle
New thoughts, new century
Join us at the gates together
Let them know we will be free

My Body
02:25
|
|||
My body's nobody's body but mine
You run your own body and I'll run mine
And if you touch this body of mine
I'll hunt you down and rip out your spine
Jenny's only eight years old
And she knows what's right and wrong
But that asshole uncle of hers
He thinks he's just having fun
She lies awake in bed
And she dreams of distant lands
No one needs to tell her
What is justice and what's revenge
She's only eight years old
You know this ain’t right
She can't hold a gun
To protect her late at night
But she can pour that bleach
So she puts it in his drink
And then began to sing
Jenny's only twelve years old
And she knows that she's been wronged
That asshole teacher of hers
Thinks he’s just having fun
She stands so still in class
ignores the hand on her ass
No one needs to teach her
What is fear and what is wrath
She's only twelve years old
You know this ain’t right
But justice will be had
With a shotgun tonight
She creeps up to his bed and
Shoots him in the head
And then began to sing

Scene Politics
00:31
|
|||
You seem so proud
With your fist in the air
You seem so proud
But really you don't care
You're screaming for change
But for what you don't know
You're screaming for change
But how? You'll never show
So fuck your unity
Go fuck yourself
Punk's in fashion
You're wearing it out

Velvet Doll
02:14
|
|||
I met her at the punk show
We were slamming in the pit
It could be fate, could be chance
I don't really give a shit
She punched me in the face and
Threw me on the floor
Jumped on top of me and said,
"Baby, let's go"
We're fucking in the bathroom stall
I'm your punk and you're my velvet doll
I loved you since the moment we met
Let's get back in that pit and fuck up some shit
We'll be back by the end of the set
Baby I don't care if I don't know your name
Without this passion, love is all the same
So I’ll fuck you as hard and as long as you want
As long as you promise to love me at the end of this song
They say love comes in fairy tales
But I know that's not true
That lonely romance has gone and failed
The only true love comes when I'm cumming with you

Just Like Me
01:43
|
|||
Well I remember when I used to look up to you
It was back in the summer of '92
I used to think you were the shit, man
Where you stood, I wanted to stand
But I held you too high, you couldn't breathe
It was partly my fault, I couldn't see
You were just another punk on this fucking scene
You were just like me, just like me
I held you too high -- too much respect
You couldn't carry that load -- too much neglect
So I turned your t-shirt inside out
To remind you what you used to sing about
Do you remember all of us on this fucking scene
Do you remember how much it used to mean
There ain't no marquee here
But there's plenty of friends and plenty of beer
When you’re in the lime light, remember us
Because we couldn't afford no tour bus
But there's still a hundred bodies in every room
Each and every one of them knows the tunes

Neverland Forever
02:25
|
|||
Drinking all night long
You fucked everything that moved
Life was a party when you had
Your drugs and booze
But you're living in a world
Where you've covered your eyes
You're living in a world
Where you think you can't die
Living off of your parents cash
Chasing all of that college ass
Neverland forever
Drink in your hand
Neverland forever
You're on the floor
Neverland forever
You waste away
Neverland forever
Drinking all night long
You fucked everything that moved
Life was a party when you had
Your drugs and booze
But you're living in a world
Where you're running out of cash
You're living in a world
Better think of something fast
What are you going to do when the money's spent
And you've got to choose between booze and rent?
Drinking all night long
You fucked everything that moved
Life was a party when you had
Your drugs and booze
But you're living in a world
Where you're broke as fuck
You're living in a world
Never thought it'd suck this much

The Devil Song
02:46
|
|||
I'm going to sell my soul to the devil
Sell my soul for free
Because I ain't getting anywhere
With this thing in me
I think I'd do much better
With a race car and a gun
I think I'd do much better
If I was having lots of fun
I think I want a girl or
Two or three or four
Better yet just line them
Up outside my door
I'm going to head down to the crossroads
And sell the devil my soul
Ain't no need for no guitar duel
This soul's already sold
