1.All Sinners Welcome In The House Of The A.K.A.s
We've got dirty looks
Ripped pages from your books.
They're stacked up to the ceiling.
We've got sleepless nights, fistfights, and dynamite.
I've got a funny feeling that you
Keep preaching to the choir while we keep setting fires.
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Keep preaching to the choir while we keep setting fires.
Come on, come on, come on, come on
All sinners welcome here. Thieves, Whores, Conspirators.
Open doors for banished souls.
All rejects gather round. We'll burn altars to the ground.
You can smell the smoke from miles around
Keep preaching to the choir while we keep setting fires.
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Keep preaching to the choir while we keep setting fires.
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Ohhhhhh
Keep on, Keep on, Keep on, Keep on
Keep preaching to the choir while we keep setting fires.
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Keep preaching to the choir while we keep setting fires.
Come on, come on, come on, come on
2.Get It Together
I gotta know what makes you tick it's on your lips like a lie
I wanna know what makes you sick in the head, cuz you're all
mixed up.
And I know that there's no cure for you
Cuz I'm all mixed up too
Gotta get it together now. Get, get it. Get it together
We've been turning ourselves inside out and upside down
Were all mixed up, all mixed up
So put me in a blender and put me back together again
Its evident you're not all there
Its in the air like a storm a coming
And its clear that you don't care
Everyone knows you're about to blow
And I know there's nothing I can do for you
Cuz I'm all mixed up too
Gotta get it together now. Get, get it. Get it together
We've been turning ourselves inside out and upside down
Were all mixed up, all mixed up
So put me in a blender and put me back together again
3.She's Got It
She's got wolf's style with a sheep's smile
She's got ruffled feathers with an eagle's eye
She's organized
Says she's going to hell so she might as well
Raised fist button on her coat lapel
She's got animal eyes. She's got an animal heart
She's got an animal soul. I wanna live like an animal
I hear her shredding papers through cubicle walls
Sending e-molotovs through your firewalls
In a seedy part of town in the midnight hour
She leads basement meeting, oh you know she's so down
She's got animal eyes. She's got an animal heart
She's got an animal soul. I wanna live like an animal
She's got it. She's got it
I wanna know that place you go when you're not going where you
go
I wanna do that thing you do when you're not doing what you do
She's got animal eyes. She's got an animal heart
She's got an animal soul. I wanna live like an animal
4.True Love Is Broke
I'm sorry baby I know it's your birthday
But I spent all my money on a used guitar
I can't afford no fancy things, designer names, or diamond rings
But I can write you a song and sing it all night long
Woah
True love is broke
Oh, they don't know true love is broke
Oh ma, mamma I apologize. Apologize. Apologize
I won't be home for Christmas time
I can't afford no gasoline it's the price I pay for chasing
dreams
But I got a microphone and an amplifier
Woah
True love is broke
Oh, they don't know true love is broke
Dang it baby I sold my skateboard to buy us a brand new record
album
Oh man I sold my record player to buy us some new skateboard
wheels
Oooooooo
5.The Lady In The Polka Dot Dress
I've got a sneaking suspicion
concerning conditions regarding
Your closet is overgrown;
It's overflowin' with skulls and bones
It's filling up and spilling out,
Inside your room down from your house
Believe, believe, believe me there's no lie
Better than the one you tell yourself
The phone is ringing I'm beginning to put it all together like
a puzzle with the pieces missing
It's a massacre at the Ambassador Hotel
It smells like something's fishy
A lady in the polka dot dress witnessed,
Just like the one you're wearing
Believe, believe, believe me there's no lie
Better than the one you tell yourself
Believe me when I say, I don't believe a single word you say
Believe, believe, believe me there's no lie
Better than the one you tell yourself
If you knew I knew, if you knew I knew
{Then I'd be dead}
6.Let's Do The Swing (At The Wrecking Ball)
Let's get dressed up
You can wear high heels
And if the shoes don't fit, we're gonna smash glass slippers
And I'm so excited since I've decided that we're all invited to
the party tonight
Let's do it, let's do it, let's do that swing
Let's do it, let's do it, let's do that swing
Let's do it, let's do it oh baby won't you do that swing with me
At the wrecking ball tonight
I want to, want to cave in these walls with you
I want to, want to swing from the chandeliers with you
Cuz we don't need no rich mothers or fathers
Mustangs and madras
Let's do it, let's do it, let's do that swing
Let's do it, let's do it, let's do that swing
Let's do it, let's do it oh baby won't you do that swing with me
At the wrecking ball tonight
We don't live in this house no more
We don't live on this street no more
We don't live in this town no more
We don't live around here
Let's do it, let's do it, let's do that swing
Let's do it, let's do it, let's do that swing
Let's do it, let's do it oh baby won't you do that swing with me
At the wrecking ball tonight
7.Let Their Ears Ring
Gotta make sure Mayflowers rot on ocean floors
Gotta make sure forefathers knock on coffin doors
Gotta make sure everything else is meaningless
Gotta make sure history belongs to us.
We cracked the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, Philadelphia
Yeah
So let their ears ring
Gotta make sure relics lost and washed ashore
Gotta make sure declarations declare no more
Gotta make sure culture cracks like castle walls
Gotta make sure rusted pens write no laws
We cracked the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, Philadelphia
Yeah
So let their ears ring
So let their ears ring, so let their ears ring
8.Only Dangerous On Days That End In Y
On Monday morning when I wake up
Gonna make up my mind
Gonna try to find a way to hide the look on my face
Come Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, maybe
By Friday I'll be dangerous, dangerous, so dangerous
There's a place in the back of your brain
Where you lose the umbrella and give into the rain
Soaked to the bone, soaked to the bone
Once you got me there, can you keep me there?
By Saturday I'll be fed up
This routine never lets up
Gonna try to find a way to get out of this place
Everything's better come the weekend
Except ex-friends and dead ends
Just when I thought this pen had run out of ink
I think I'm dangerous
There's a place in the back of your brain
Where you lose the umbrella and give into the rain
Soaked to the bone, soaked to the bone
Once you got me there, can you keep me there?
9.Weddings & Funerals
Gonna buy me a new gonna buy me a new black suit
It's one of a kind
It's a find for $9.99
Gonna cut it up and sew it up until it fits just fine
Now you know I got a skinny tie and pointy black boots (black
boots)
They're all beat up (that's all right)
I found them on sale at the five and dime
Gonna buff 'em up, and best believe they're gonna shine like
hell tonight
Every time you see me I'm wearing this same black suit
and every time you see me
I'm wearing these same black boots
Cuz every time every time it's at a wedding or a funeral
We used to dance we used to dance on graves
And carve our names
Carving our names in each other's arms
Lines we've crossed, getting lost just to find our way
Now life's got a funny way of getting sped up (all sped up)
And making days making days just slip away
So let 'em go, cuz now we know, we'll leave 'em all behind
tonight
Every time you see me I'm wearing this same black suit
and every time you see me
I'm wearing these same black boots
Cuz every time every time it's at a wedding or a funeral
Is this a wedding or a funeral?
10.We Are The Iceberg
Rearranging chairs on the decks of a sinking ship
I think I saw you polishing brass
Why don't you lock you old ideas away
In steel boxes with locks and chains?
Go on and him them away with family jewels and ugly paintings
We are the iceberg
Whoa, whoa, whoa
You are you are not unsinkable
I'm serious as a heart attack,
the bands gonna play their last song tonight
and I say that's all right
Have you been hanging painting in office halls
Wearing trails in shopping malls?
While we've been crashing on strangers floors
Starting wars with power chords
We are the iceberg
Whoa, whoa, whoa
You are you are not unsinkable
Rearranging chairs on decks of a sinking ship
I think I saw you polishing brass
We are, we are, we are
We are, we are, we are
We are the iceberg
Whoa, whoa, whoa
You are you are not unsinkable
