1.Maria
She smashed the radio with the board of education
Turn up the static left of the state of the nation
Turn up the flame, step on the gas
Burning the flag at half mast
She's a rebel's forgotten son
An export of the revolution
She is the first voice of the last ones in the line
She'll drag the lake to keep the vendetta alive
Bring in the head of the government
The dog ate the document
Somebody shot the president
And no one knows where Maria went？
Maria, Maria, Maria,
where did you go？...
Be careful what you're offering
Your breath lacks the conviction
Drawing the line in the dirt
Because the last decision
...is no.
2.Poprocks ＆ Coke
Wherever you go, you know I'll be there
If you go far, you know I'll be there
I'll go anywhere, So I'll see you there
You place the name you know I'll be there
You name the time you know I'll be there
I'll go anywhere, So I'll see you there
I don't care if you don't mind
I'll be there not far behind
I will dare, Keep in mind
I'll be there for you
Where there's the truth,
you know I'll be there
Amongst the lies,
you know I'll be there
I'll go anywhere,
So I'll see you there
If you should fall, you know I'll be there
To catch the call, you know I'll be there
I'll go anywhere, So I'll see you there
3.Longview
Sit around and watch the tube, but nothing's on
Change the channels for an hour or two
Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit
I'm sick of all the same old shit
In a house with unlocked doors
And I'm fucking lazy
(Chorus)
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored, I'm going blind
And I smell like shit
Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving
I sure as hell can't do it by myself
I'm feeling like a dog in heat
Barred indoors from the summer street
I locked the door to my own cell
And I lost the key
I got no motivation
Where is my motivation
No time for the motivation
Smoking my inspiration
Sit around and watch the phone but no one's calling
Call me pathetic, call me what you will
My mother says to get a job
But she don't like the one she's got
When masturbation's lost it's fun
You're fucking lazy
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored, I'm going blind
And loneliness has to suffice
Bite my lip and close my eyes
I was slipping away to paradise
Some say, 'Quit or I'll go blind.'
But it's just a myth
4.Welcome To Paradise
Dear mother, can you hear whining
It's been three whole weeks
Since that I have left your home
This sudden fear has left me trembling
Cause now it seems that I'm out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone
(Chorus)
Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through
A wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise
A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go
Dear mother, can you hear me laughing
It's been six whole months
Since that I have left your home
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go
5.Basket Case
Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothing and everything all at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone, no doubt about it
(Chorus)
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
I'm just stoned
I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex
That's bringing me down
I went to a whore
He said my life's a bore
And quit my whining cause
It's bringing her down(Chorus)
Grasping to control
So you better hold on(Chorus)
6.When I Come Around
I heard you crying loud
All the way across town
You've been searching for that someone
And it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself
Don't get lonely now
Dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment
Sleazing my backyard so don't get so uptight
You've been thinking about ditching me
(Chorus)
No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
I heard it all before
So don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user
So I don't need no accuser
To try and slag me down because I know I'm right
So go do what you like
Make you sure you do it wise
You may find out that your self-doubt
Means nothing was ever there
You can't go forcing something
If it's just not right
7.She
She...
She screams in silence
A sullen riot penetrating through her mind
Wait...
Wait for a sign
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control
(Chorus)
Are you locked in a world
That's been planned out for you
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use
Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you
She...
She's figured out
All her doubts were someone else's point of view
We...
Walking up this time
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control
Ehhhhhh, Ahhhhhhhhh!
8.J.a.r.
My friend drove off the other day,
And now he's gone and all they say,
Is you gotta live cuz life goes on...
But now i see i'm mortal, too,
I can't live my life like you,
Gotta live it up, while life goes on.
And i think that it's all right,
That i do what i like,
Cuz that's the way i wanna live.
And so i give, and i'm still givin'...
And now i wonder 'bout my friend,
If he gave all he could give,
Cuz he lived his life like i live mine.
If you could see inside my head,
Then you'd start to understand,
The things i value in my heart.
And i think that it's all right,
That i do what i like,
Cuz that's the way i wanna live.
And so i give, and i'm still givin'...
You know that...
I know that...
You're watchin' me!
And i think that it's all right,
That i do what i like,
Cuz that's the way i wanna live.
And so i give, and i'm still givin'...
Gotta make a plan,
Gotta do what's right,
Can't run around in circles,
If you wanna build a life,
But i don't wanna make a plan,
For a day far away,
While i'm young and while i'm able,
All i wanna do is...
9.Geek Stink Breath
I'm on a mission
I made my decision
Lead a path of self-destruction
A slow progression
Killing my complexion
And it's rotting out my teeth
(Chorus)
I'm on a roll
No self-control
I'm blowing off steam
With methamphetamine
Don't know what I want
And it's all that I got
And I'm picking scabs off my face
Every hour
My blood is turning sour
And my pulse is beating out of time
I found a treasure
Filled with sick pleasure
And it sits on a thick white line
I'm on a mission
I got no decision
Like a cripple running the rat race
Wish in one hand
Shit in the other
And see which one gets filled first
10.Brain Stew
I'm having trouble trying to sleep
I'm counting sheep but runnin' out
As time ticks by
And still I try
No rest for crosstops in my mind
On my own...here we go
My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry
My face is numb
Fucked up and spun out in my room
On my own...here we go
My mind is set on overdrive
The clock is laughing in my face
A crooked spine
My sense is dulled
Passed the point of delirium
On my own...here we go
11.Jaded
Somebody keep my balance
I think I'm falling off
Into a state of regression
The expiration date
Rapidly coming up
It's leaving me behind to rank
(Chorus)
Always moving forward
Going straight will get you nowhere
There is no progress
Evolution killed it all
I found my place in nowhere
I'm taking one step sideways
Leading with my crutch
Got a fucked up equlibrium
Count down from 9 to 5
Hooray! We're gonna die
Blessed into our extinction
12.Walking Contradiction
Do as I say not as I do because
The shit's so deep you can't run away
I beg to differ on the contrary
I agree with every word that you say
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive
My wallet's fat and so is my head
Hit and run and then I'll hit you again
I'm a smart-ass but I'm playing dumb
Standards set and broken all the time
Control the chaos behind a gun
Call it as I say it even if
I was born deaf, blind, and dumb
Losers winning big on the lottery
Radio rejects still sniffing glue
Constant refutation with myself
I'm a victim of a catch-22
(Chorus)
I have no belief
But I believe
I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't got no rights
13.Stuck With Me
I'm not part of your elite
I'm just alright
Class structure waving colors
Bleeding from my throat
Not subservient to you
I'm just alright
Down classed by the powers that be
Give me loss of hope
(Chorus)
Cast out...buried in a hole
Struck down...forcing me to fall
Destroyed...giving up a fight
And I know I'm not alright
What's the price and will you pay it
If it's alright
Take it from my dignity
Waste it until it's dead
Throw be back into the gutter
Cause it's alright
Find another pleasure fucker
Drag them down to hell
14.Hitchin' A Ride
Hey mister, where you headed
Are you in a hurry
I need a lift to happy hour
Say oh no
Do you break for distilled spirits
I need a break as well
The well that inebriates the guilt
One, two, one, two, three, four
Cold turkey's getting stale
Tonight I'm eating crow
Fermented salmonella
Poison oak no
There's a drought a the fountain of youth
Now I'm dehydrating
My tongue is swelling up
I say one, two, one, two, three, four
(Chorus)
Troubled times
You know I cannot lie
I'm off the wagon and I'm hitching a ride
There's a drought at the fountain of youth
Now I'm dehydrating
My tongue is swelling up
I say...........SHITE!!!
15.Good Riddance(Time Of Your Life)
(FUCK)
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
16.Redundant
We're living in repetition
Content in the same old shtick again
Now routine's turning to contention
Like a production line going over and over
Roller coaster
(Chorus)
Now I cannot speak
I lost my voice
Speechless and redundant
Cause I love you's not enough
I'm lost for words
Choreographed and lack of passion
Prototypes of what we were
One full circle 'til I'm nauseous
Taken for granted now
Now I waste it, faked it, ate it, now I hate it
17.Nice Guys Finish Last
Nice guys finish last
You're running out of gas
Your sympathy will get you left behind
Sometimes you're at your best
When you look the worst
Do you feel washed up
Like piss going down the drain
(Chorus)
Pressure cooker pick my brain
And tell me I'm insane
I'm so fucking happy I could cry
Every joke can have it's truth
But now the joke's on you
I never knew you're such a funny guy
Oh, nice guys finish last
When you are the outcast
Don't pat yourself on the back
You might break your spine
Living on command
You're shaking lots of hands
You're kissing up and bleeding all your trust
Taking what you need
Bite the hand that feeds
You lose your memory and you got no shame
18.Minority
I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
Cause I wanna be the minority
I pledge allegiance to the underworld
One nation under dark
There of which I stand alone
A face in the crowd...A song that gets the mold
Without a doubt, singled out
The only way I know
(Chorus)
I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
Cause I wanna be the minority
Stepped out of line
Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time
To my own beat now
The only way I know
One light, one mind...flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a 1,000 broken hearts
For crying out loud...she screams unto me
A free for all, fuck them all
You or you aside
The Minority
The Minority
The Minority
The Minority
19.Warning
This is a public service announcement
This is only a test
Emergency evacuation protest
May impair your ability to operate machinery
Can't quite just what it means to me
Keep out of reach of children
Don't you talk to strangers
Get your philosophy from a bumper sticker
(Chorus)
Warning
Live without warning
Say warning
Live without warning
Without, alright
Mental homes and safety cell communities
Did you remember to pay the utility
Caution police sign
You'd better not cross
It's a cop or I the one that's really dangerous
Sanitation expiration date question everything
Or shut up and be a victim of authority
This is a public service announcement
This is only a test
20.Waiting
I've been waiting a long time
For this moment to come
I'm destined for anything at all
Downtown lights will be shining
On me like a new diamond
Ring out under the midnight hour
No one can touch me now
And I can't turn my back
It's too late ready or not at all
(Chorus)
I'm such so much closer
Than I have ever known
Wake up
Better thank your lucky stars
Dawning of a new era
Calling, don't let it catch you falling
Ready or not at all
So close enough to taste it
Almost I can embrace this
Feeling on the tip of my tounge
Dumbstruck
Color me stupid
Good luck
You're gonna need it
Where I'm going
If I get there at all
21.Macy's Day Parade
Today's the macy's day parade
The night of the living dead is on its way
With the credit report for duty call
It's a lifetime guarantee
Stuffed in a coffin, 10% for free
Red light special at the masoleum
Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed to you
What's the consolation prize
Caught in these side dreams of hope
When I was kid I thought
I wanted all the things that haven't want
Oh but I learned the hardest way
Then I realized what it took
Tell the difference between thieves and crooks
Lesson learned between me and you
Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed to you
Cause I'm thinking of a brand new hope
The one I've never known
And where it goes
And I'm thinking about the only road
The one I've never known
And where it goes
Because I'm thinking about
A brand new hope
The one I've never known
Cause now I know
It's all I ever wanted
