Song Lyrics
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 noone knows where Maria went?
Maria,
Maria,
Maria, where did you go?...
Be careful what your offering
your breath lacks the convicion
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 ther
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
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 motiviation
Where is my motiviation?
No time for motiviation
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 its
fun
You're fucking breaking
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
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 me whining?
It's
been three whole weeks
Since I left your home
This sudden fear has left me trembling
Cause now it seems that I am
out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone
Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call
it slums some call it nice
I want to take you to a wasteland I like to call my own
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. Basketcase
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
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
Grasping to CONTROL
So you BETTER hold on
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
Sleazin' my back yard so don't get so uptight you
been thinking about ditching me
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 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 screams in silence
A sullen riot penetrating through her
mind
Waiting for a sign to smash the silence with a brick of self control
Are you locked up 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's figured out all her doubts
Were someone else's point of view
Waking
up this time to smash the silence with the brick of self control
8. JAR
My friend drove off the other day,
And now he's gone and
all they say,
Is you gotta live cause 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 it's alright
That I do what I like cause that's the way
I wanna live
And so I give
And i'm still giving
And now I wonder about my friend
If he gave all
he could give
Cause 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
You know that,
I know that,
Your watching me
9. Geek Stink Breath
I'm on a mission
I made my decision
To lead
a path of self-destruction
A slow progression
Killing my complexion
And it's rotting out my teeth
I'm on a roll
No self control
I'm blowing off steam with
Meth
Amphetamine
Don't know what I want
That's all that I've 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 and shit in
the other
And see which one gets filled first
10. Brainstew
I'm having trouble trying to sleep
I'm counting sheep
but running 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 going to 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 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
Always move forward
Going
"straight" will get you nowhere
There is no progress
Evolution kill it all
I found my place in nowhere
I'm taking
one step sideways
Leading with my crutch
Got a fucked up equilibrium
Count down from 9 to 5
Hooray! We are gonna
die!
Blessed into our extinction
12. Walking Contradiction
Do as I say not as I do because
The shit
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 see it even if
I
was born deaf, blind and dumb.
Losers winning big on the lottery
Rehab rejects still sniffing glue
Constant refutation
with myself
I'm a victim of a catch 22
I have no belief
But I believe
I'm a walking contradiction
And I ain't
got no right
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
Cast out... Buried in a hole
Struck down... forcing me to fall
Destroyed...
giving up the fight
I know I'm not alright
What's my price and will you pay it
If it's
alright?
Take it from my dignity
Waste it until it's dead
Throw me 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 brake for distilled spirits?
I need a break as well
The well
that inebriates the guilt. 1,2. 1,2,3,4.
Cold turkeys getting stale, tonight I'm eating crow
Fermented
salmonella poison oak no.
There's a drought at the fountain of youth, and now I'm dehydrating
My
tongue is swelling up, as say 1,2. 1,2,3,4.
Troubled times, you know I can not lie
I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin'
a ride
There's a drought at the fountain of youth, and now I'm dehydrating
My
tongue is swelling up, I say Shit!
15. Time of Your Life
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 it's 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 of 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 it's right
I hope you had the time of your life.....
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life.....
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's 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 the routine's turning to contention;
like a production line going over and over and over, roller
coaster.
Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice.
I'm 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.
Went full circle 'til I'm nauseous.
Taken for granted now.
Now I waste it, faked it, ate it, now I hate
it.
Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice.
I'm speechless and redundant,
'cause I love you's not enough.
I'm
lost for words, now I cannot speak
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
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 and now the joke's on you
I never knew you were 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
Kissing up and bleeding
all your trust, taking what you need
Bite the hand that feeds
You kill your memory
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
Cause 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 the line
Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marchin'
out of time
To my own beat now
The only way I know
One light
One mind
flashin' in the dark
Blinded by the silence
of a thousand broken hearts
For cryin' out loud
She screams unto me
A free for all
Fuck em' all
You or
you aside
Cause I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down
with the moral majority
Cause I wanna be the minority
One light
One mind
flashin' in the dark
Blinded by the silence
of a thousand broken hearts
For cryin' out loud
She screams unto me
A free for all
Fuck em 'all
You or
you own sight
Cause I wanna be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down
with the moral majority
Cause I wanna be the minority........
The Minority.......
The Minority.......
The
Minority.......
The Minority.......

20. Waiting
I've been waiting a long time
For this moment to come
I'm destined
For anything at all
Downtown light 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
I'm so much closer than
I have never known ...wake up
Dawning of a new era
Calling don't let it catch up you falling
Ready
or not at all
Well so close enough to taste it
Almost... I can embrace this
Feeling.... on the tip of my tongue
Well I'm so much closer than
I have never known ...wake up
Better
thank you're lucky stars.....
Dumbstruck
colour me stupid
Good luck
you're gonna need it
Where
I'm going if I get there
at all
Wake Up
Better thank you're lucky stars....
21. Macy's Day Parade
Today's the Macy's Day Parade
Night of the
living dead is on its way
With a credit report for duty call
It's a lifetime guaranteed
Stuffed in a coffin "10
% more free"
Red light special at the mausoleum
Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed to you
What's
the consolation prize?
Economy sized dreams of hope
When I was a kid I thought
I wanted all the things that I haven't got
Oh but I learned the hardest way
Then I realized what it took
To tell the difference between
thieves and crooks
when all along it was me and you
Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed
Because I'm
thinking about
a brand new hope
The one I've never known
Cause now I know
It's all that I wanted
What's the consolation prize?
Economy sized dreams of hope
Give
me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed
Because I'm thinking about
a brand new hope
The one I've never
known
And where it goes
And I'm thinking 'bout
the only road
The one I've never known
And were it goes
And I'm thinking about
a brand new hope
The one I've never known
Cause now I know
It's all that I wanted
