Career Objective

The Methadones Career Objective Lyrics
1.TV World

The Methadones
Career Object
TV World
I get tired of thinking of what I don't want to be
I need a career but the thought depresses me
I see commercials for Devry and ITT
But they just make me want to go back to sleep

I just wanna be in my TV world
Not doing anything in my TV world

My girlfriend's disgusted with me
I drink too much and never miss All In The Family
I need to do something but I just don't know what
I'm flipping through the channels and it's driving her nuts

I haven't left the couch for a week
I'm in such a trance that I can hardly speak
I stay in tuned to this warm TV glow these transmitted images
are all that I know


2.Antidote

Sometimes I break down and read into things that are not there
I can't convince myself your harmless actions has me without
care
I know that I love you and for my sake as well as yours
I will do what I have to and hopefully find a cure

I tell myself that I must be strong
But there is something I knew all along
I need the antidote
To regain control

You had me worried in your letter
Didn't sleep for weeks
Kept thinking it was over I was just in way too deep
I try my best to see the cup half full and try to smile
Try to accept the past
We are only here for a while

I tell myself that I must be strong
But there is something I knew all along
I need the antidote
To regain control


3.Stuck In My Head

The other night I couldn't sleep
Thinking about everything and nothing
Were they a bunch of pointless thoughts that repeat
or were they trying to tell me something?
Everything before me just keeps passing by
I think about everything and I can't seem to get out of my head

Life is short
There's little time
I feel it in my heart everyday
Yet I hardly notice anything
I only heard half of what you said

I try to be in the moment
Let things be as they are
But I'm busy making sense of a thousand things while I'm stuck
in my head

I'm not getting anywhere
I feel like I'm dead
I've gone full circle just to find
That I am stuck in my head


4.Revitalized

You could understand that we didn't see eye to eye
But when you left me
It really hit me
You're gone
I'm revitalized

You knew how to push all my buttons
Shrink me down to your size
I know I'd rather be lonely than have you
I'm revitalized

I feel better than I have in quite some time
I don't feel bitter anymore and there's no more lies
I'm revitalized


5.Ammunition

You've got something that you want to hold over my head
Try to keep me in line for something wrong I said
Doing anything you can to try to keep me down
Next time I will have to duck when you fire another round

Whoa! Lookout now!
She's got her ammunition
Taking cheap shots with her ammunition
Ammunition

You won't let me live down anything you're always building a
case
I know you really love to try to put me in my place
I tried to apologize and it was taken at the time
Now it's six months later and the thought still lingers in your
mind

Whoa! Lookout now!
She's got her ammunition
Taking cheap shots now with her ammunition
Ammunition

Whoa! Hit the deck now!
Ammunition
Ammunition
Whoa! Lookout now!
Oh yeah!

Ready Aim Fire!!!

Hey! Ammunition!


6.Far Away

I sit here waiting for you to acknowledge me with a greeting or
a simple smile
These things I once took for granted now go a long way with me
They can make it all worth while

I hope you'll listen to what I have to say
You're so far away now
Everything turns into a game
You're so far away even though you're right here next to me
I keep hoping that you'll let me in

I've got this sick feeling in my gut that's been lingering for
weeks
From the things that you have and have not said
Please don't turn away something I find important to me
Should I roll over and play dead?


7.Are You Really For Real?

You'll do anything to have all the eyes on you
It's one stupid thing after another that goes on and on and on
and
I can't believe the things you say
I roll my eyes and walk away

Bending over backwards to get your attention
The more we ignore you just makes you want to act up even more

I can't believe anything you say
I roll my eyes and walk away
But you still keep doing anything you feel
Tell me are you really for real?

You made yourself a punch line from a joke I didn't want to hear
You want us to listen to what you're saying so you keep coming
near
I don't know why it matters if we notice you
You are one screwed up individual with a lot of stupid shit to
prove


8.I'm About to Crack

I am on the verge of losing self-control
Pacing through the living room
Ready to put my fist through the wall

Step back you're in danger baby
The pressure is too much for me
I need a release
I'm about to

Trying to contain myself but something's trying to get out
I keep hoping it'll subside
I am filled with doubt

Step back you're in danger baby
The pressure is too much for me
I need a release
I'm about to crack

It's gonna take a lot of you to strap me down
Nurse Ratchet may take care of me
But I won't wear a hospital gown


9.Say Goodbye to Your Generation

Can't you see our generation's going down the tubes?
The more we keep looking back we can only lose
Remember when we were kids hanging out?
Feeling alright thinking we're on top?
Well now the whole damn generation's going down the tubes

We sit around and think about what lies ahead
We know there's no going back and it fills us with dread
Remember when we were kids hanging out?
Feeling alright thinking we're on top?
Well now the whole damn generation's going down the tubes

Say goodbye to your generation
I'm left wanting more than what we could do
Say goodbye to your generation
Yeah, that's right I'm talking to you

Say goodbye to your generation
I'm left wanting more than what we could do
Say goodbye to your generation
Soon to be forgotten for something new

We never thought it would ever turn out like this
Every once in a while I can't help feeling pissed
Some of the things we stood for just don't matter anymore

The whole damn generation's going down the tubes
Say goodbye to your generation


10.Premature Mid-Life Crisis

I search for what is right and with everyday I fight
For what I feel needs to be done
The years keep slipping by I try to
Get the most out of my life
There are many places I've gone wrong

I've been my worst enemy
Wading through the shit and stink
Turning out incomplete

I was refusing to grow up paving the road to hell
but still I lived according to my will
I thought of a career objective and gained a new perspective
playing punk rock's a non-transferable skill
