1.Wrong

So you say you hate that band 'cause they sold out.
And you sold back all your records is that what it's all about.
Now listen up you fuckin' punk the songs are still the same.
'cause others learn to like them doesn't make them fuckin' lame.
You're wrong. you're so wrong. you're fuckin wrong...
Now run the fuck along.
Shame on all those bands,
Yeah the ones who play for cash.
The ones that count their money as they sit back and they laugh.
Now don't you get too angry with all those kroq fans.
With no time they'll bore and be searching for new bands.
You sold out.. they sold out.
We'd sell out, there's no fuckin' doubt.
So you got it figured out and you know it all.
Some of those bands were punk back when you were still hanging
at the mall.
It's called respect and you don't have it and probably never
will.
I know 'cause i was once like you just fighting against my will.


2.A. C. A. B.

Another restless night here in middle class suburbia.
everything's alright nothing ever happens 'round here. no one
ever fights, gunshots i've never heard one. in a town painted so
white, the co
E all you'll fear. respect is gone, you've lost our trust.
'cause we know what you're up to.
Serving and protecting us.
But who the hell's policing you?
With your cracker jack authority,
Beating on minorities,
I want to know what makes you think that you've got the right.
Haven't you anything better to do?
I pay my taxes too.
I can't believe i'm paying you,
The system's fucking screwed.
When you... see me... do you.. think that... i'll just... stand
by...
I won't... fight back.
Black leather boots, reflective shades.
Silver bands upon your chest.
Broad shouldered walk and stoic face.
Who are you trying to impress?
The uniform don't bother me.
It's your attitude i can't digest.
Second grade school yard bully,
Inferiority complex,
When you, see me, do you, see what,
I see, do you- see the reflection of a man,
A man that takes more than he gives.
And he'll never understand that this is how we want to live.
Exerting force because3 he can,
Governing with an iron fist.
But when your right sticks in my hands,
It's my ass that you'll kiss.
It's your ass that i'll kick.
Another friday night,
The kids are all about to riot.
Nothings ever quiet 'cause we're all fed up around here.


3.Dreams

You look at me i look at you.
You judge me and i judge you.
This is not fair to both of us.
Our first impressions you cannot truest.
The time has come- right now.
To erase- them all.
The stereotypes- we see.
Eventually- must fall.
There's a war going on.
That no one can win.
They're fighting us.
And we're fighting them.
A man gets beaten because he is white.
Burning crosses on lawns at night.


4.Another Boring Day

When i woke up this morning i thought it'd be another boring
day.
Start the coffee skipo the shower i'm out the door and on my
way.
But then the phone rang and i'll never forget the words you'd
say.
My dad was dying this could be his last day.
I never knew that you could die.
And i always wanted to be by your side.
I should have seen it coming.
You lived your life so wrecklessly.
Got a second chance now and i hope you choose sobriety.
Cause i'd never forgive you if you died and killed somone.
Put your past behind you.
Let's make your future a bright one.
I want you to know- that i will be with you every step.
I want you to know- that i am proud and confident.
I want you to know- i will always be right here for you.
I want you to know- together, we can work this thing through.


5.Painkiller

Insecurity- this time it's got the best of me.
Apathy- this time i think it's killing me.
Try to scream- but i can't make any noise.
Try to breathe- but the breath has lost my voice.
There has got to be a better way.
Some way to get rid of this fucking pain.
Is my future in a razor blade?
Sometimes suicide isn't so insane.
Bad memories- so i drink to forget.
But you see- all i lose is self respect.
No control- no more goals and no more aim.
Blackened soul- everyday it feels the same.
Can't face the boredom that everyday brings.
I'm feeling guilty for an uncommitted crime.
Left dangling from a puppeteer's strings.
My body's free but my mind is doing time.
Suicide- everyday a soul is lost.
Justified- i think i'll carry my own cross.
Bedside note- sory mother if you cry.
But life's a joke- so i think today, i'll just lay down and die.


6.Answers

A potpourri of anarchy.
A cold slap in the face.
Chaos, armageddon couldn't lively up this place.
With caffeine in my bloodstream and a blank stare in my eyes,
I sit back, relax, write facts.
Or are they, just simply lies?
Why are we here?
And what's it all for?
Are we pawns in the game?
If so, what's the score?
With this absence of truth and presence of lies?
How can you wonder why we can't find some answers?
You won't find the answers in the books that you've read.
You're searching for answers,
But they're all in side your head.
You won't find the answers in the words that they've said.
A textbook designed to confine individuals thinking.
Social practice revolves around what you've been drinking.
The masses run like rodents to the scent of the rat trap.
Seeking instant wisdom but instead their heads get snapped.
The chorus of a song fading sung one too many times.
The monotony of hearing that last repeating line.
The quest for success sucks you in and rips you like the rhyme.
Showing you the right from wrong but narrowing your head.


7.Them

Walking down the streets, idiots are all i fucking see.
Morons right in front of me.
I've got a group of them to my right.
And it's just the start of my night.
Sitting on the corner of manhattan beach blvd.
And ocean.
See some sluts out for fun.
Showing off their silicone tits.
Pounds of makeup hide their zits.
I can't believe what my eyes see.
Bars packed with u.s.c. fraternities.
Plastic people with their plastic money.
Mtv fed mentalities.
I thank god i'm not like them.
Pennyloafers on their feet.
Collared shirts with rolled up sleeves.
Tight blue jeans you wouldn't believe.
I've got a dozen chumps to my right.
And it's beginning to ruin my night.
The to my left a bunch of chicks who think they're hot shit.
So i slap them with my goddamn dick.
People acting so sophisticated.
By twenty-one they're all outdated.
I don't ever want to be like them.
I won't ever fuckin' be like them.
I have fun laughing at them.
I think god i'm not of one of them.
Now i'm all surrounded.
All these idiots suffocating me.
So now it's time for me to leave.
But as i leave this fucked up scene i thank god that i'm me.


8.Better Days Ahead

What is it this time?
That's got you dragging your feet on the ground.
And who is it this time?
Which son of a bitch is trying to bring you down?
Are you gonna just sit right down and whine.
Are you waiting for someone to come and hlep.
Superman won't come and save you in the nick of time.
So you better start to think about saving yourself.
Self respect and self control will pull you up
Because shitty times can't last forever.
Shake the dice and let them roll,
You will see that things are getting better.
Don't live life with blinders on,
Take a chance and never say never.
If you think your life is going wrong,
Then just kill time 'cause there's always better days ahead.
So what is it this time?
That's gotten your head into such a big mess.
And who is it this time?
Which son of a bitch has got you so depressed?
Are you gonna just give up give in die.
Have you bought into the bullshit that they sell.
When they tell you what to do you'd better ask why.
Nobody but you can save yourself.


9.Ground Zero

Priests molesting children, kids killing for fun.
Talk shows on all day now the damage is done.
We've already lost the race the scars are permanent and they
can't be erased.
Can't blame the kids.
They only copy what they see.
The violent shows the only shows on tv.
The world's falling apart at the seams.
Kids are having nightmares.
When they used to have dreams.
The world's falling into decay.
Armageddon's not here yet.
But it's well on it's way.
Murder on the news, scandals everywhere.
The media devours, but does anybody care.
That we have nowhere to turn.
Our direction's been lost.
Looks like we'll never learn.
There's no teachers left.
Our heroes have fallen.
No one to look up to.
What the fuck's going on?
Too many problems not enough solutions.
Too many people causing too much pollution.
The minority decides the jury's verdict.
And they'll riot in the streets if they don't get their way.
Killer bees are coming, illiteracy increasing.
The gangs are in the suburbs and the g.n.p's decreasing.
And it's not going up, we're running out of jobs as unemployment
erupts. the neighbors don't talk there's no trick or treating.
We've been fighting each other and we've all been beaten.
The world is in its last stage.
The history book's been written and we're on the last page.
The world's got 10 seconds left. 10, 9 , 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,
and 1.


10.Young Americans

There's something wrong and it's our government.
Is this the way that it has always been.
We're being led by used car lot salesman.
But what to do..
The time has come to fight my friends.
Don't patronize me as if my brain is shallow.
Put a price on my head i'll put a tag on your toe.
A scandal in the white house please say it ain't so.
You cannot lie to me because the american dream isn't as it
seems.
I read the news another scandal, a lie.
I hear your speech i watch the bullshit fly.
When passed the day that mortality died but what to do.
The time has come to fight my friends.
The rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer the
writing's on the wall.
All the president's men sit like fattened cats smoking cigars
inside the white house walls.
A transient makes his bed from cardboard boxes.
His hotel the steps of capital hill. so what's the price of
happiness for you my friend, a hundred grand or a five dollar
bill?
There's something wrong and it's our government.
Is this the way that it has always been?
Can't sit and watch as our country descends.
But what to do..
The time has come to fight my friends 'cause we are young
americans.


11.Beauty Queen

Pretty face, simple mind.
Take a look what's inside.
Sugar coated shell, as sweet as cake.
But you're as smart as a frosted flake.
Since you were born you've always been a beauty queen.
Every single little school girls fantasy.
Every night you wake me up in my wet dream.
But you're talented enough for porno magazines.
Fashion girl, a living lie.
Painted face, airbrushed thighs.
Pay you millions, though you're talentless.
It makes me wish i had tits.
But what will you do when your glory days are over?
Will you find yourself asking what's left for me?
And what will you do when your torch has finally burned out?
Who will you turn to and where will you be?
And will you cry when you go to sleep at night knowing that your
entire life has been skin deep?
Who's gonna be your faceless partner to swim with you in your
shallow waters who will be your victim who will you bleed?
Beauty queen, one of a kind.
Fashion world's left you behind.
What's left for you?
What have you got?
Just memories and a place to rot.


12.Don't

Don't-- tell me what to do.
Don't-- make me talk to you.
Don't-- tell me how to act.
Don't-- show me what i lack.
Don't-- tell me what to eat.
Don't-- show me who to meet.
Don't-- tell me what to wear.
Don't-- give me that fucking stare.
'cause i don't listen to a single word you say.
I'm going to live my life my own way.
Don't-- criticize me.
Don't-- tell me who to be.
Don't-- tell me what's good or bad.
Don't-- show me the next new fad.
Don't-- tell me what to say.
Don't-- insist on what i play.
Don't-- call me ever again.
Don't-- be my fucking friend.
Keep your feeble criticisms to yourself.
They're not working just as far as i can tell.
You keep on talking but it's just a waste of time.
Your worthless dialogue won't penetrate my mind.
So don't.


13.Fair Game

What a surprise you're pulling teeth.
Everyday for you's a bad day.
Did you lose your job?
Did someone die?
What's the cause of all your suffering?
Always looking down on everybody else.
But what to the table you bring?
A shot in the dark.
Sarcastic remarks.
Think of all the fun you've been missing.
Start living life like there's no tomorrow.
For every grin a face of sorrow.
Life's an opportunity you'd better take it.
Everyday can be as fun as you make it.
Your whole life's ahead of you don't you realize.
A summer day wasted away wasn't the first time won't be the last
time.
Did my phone ring or did you stay inside contemplating all your
misery.
You probably think that life's not a fair game.
How can you tell when you're not even playing?
Your frequent bad moods and shitty attitude won't help you earn
my sympathy.
Was your ego scarred so bad by heartache?
Don't you know it happens to everyone?
We've all had your fair share of bad breaks so stop thinking
that you're the only one.
It can rip you up inside when it's pouring down on you.
Are you feeling angry again?
I know i've felt those rainstorms too.
When do the good times begin?
It's time to take control of your own destiny.
Are you feeling lonesome my friend?
Someone please answer me.
When does the misery end?


14.Last Laugh

I've seen your type before.
And i'll see it a thousand times more.
It's people like you i'm glad to see go.
So let me walk you through the goddamn door.
You think you're the it but you ain't shit.
You're nothing but a two bit hypocrite.
You think your hot stuff.
And you think you're tough.
But wearing doc marten's just ain't enough.
Just shut your trap i'm sick of your crap.
Another word from you and i might just snap.
You think you're hardcore but where were you before?
Were you busy breakdancing on the foor?
You laughed at me way back when.
And now you want to be my friend.
You laughed at me way back when.
So i don't want to be your friend.
