Make no mistake about it Everything I know is doubted By old world common knowledge But not the kind that comes from college It's hard to conversate It's way too hard to debate People who are set in their ways of black and white without the grays Could you tell me what is I'm missing From an obvious solution? Tell me I have wrong opinons Tell me from your own conclusion Good ideas I've met have guessed Shot down by self righteousness Somehow I believe that certainty In anything is equivalent to self purgery. I don't believe that you are who you are I get the sense you've been programmed like a VCR So depenedent on your television To help you make every day decisions Could you tell me what is I'm missing From an obvious solution? Tell me I have wrong opinons Tell me from your own conclusion Not the one you took from your parents The one to you that's most apparent From what you've been through. From what you've realized. The things you've witnessed with your own eyes. How can there be absolute truth With more possibilites than a rubix cube? Is there someone in the immediate proximity That can verify the validity of this widespread anonymity? Could you tell me what is I'm missing From an obvious solution? Tell me I have wrong opinons Tell me from your own conclusion Could you tell me what is I'm missing From an obvious solution Tell me I have wrong opinons Tell me from your own conclusion If my calculations are incorrect. Then everything I've learned I'll just forget.

I'm tired of partying with my generation Somebody please change that mother fuckin station I don't give a shit about booties and bling I just wanna hear a catchy song that I can sing You can keep your Cash Money If you bring back my Eddie Money Reggaeton-deaf repetitive drums ain't got nothin on "girls just wanna have fun" I wanna be on the dancefloor But nobody wants to dance anymore They just wanna play beer pong beer pong Nobody cares about a good song Don't invite me cuz your party's lame I don't care about no football game The only sports that could make me do this is by the News and Huey Lewis i don't want none of your gin and juice I just wanna kick off my sunday shoes Footloose! Footloose! like Kevin Bacon Move the table and the red cups and lets get shakin' I wanna be on the dancefloor But nobody wants to dance anymore They just wanna play beer pong beer pong Nobody cares about a good song I'd rather party with people in their 40s Drink some 40s to UB40 I don't need to play beirut I just need some Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo I wanna be on the dancefloor But nobody wants to dance anymore They just wanna play beer pong beer pong Nobody cares about a good song Just swing your arms from side to side Maybe later on we can do the electric slide We can dance dance without revolution Rock and roll ain't noise pollution Turn off the xbox, turn on the boombox I'll show you how the Bangles showed me how the Egyptians walk I like my old time rock n roll Today's music ain't got the same soul Who the hell is Lil Wayne? Who the hell is T-Pain? I like Prince's Purple Rain Purple rain Every time my niggas wanna drag me to da club I stay at home drink to dat mother fuckin Culture Club.

Girl it's been a long time since the day you were mine Through mental sickness and in mental health, there has been no one else To make me feel the way you do But I'm not always true to you Why does it feel so cold? Can't feel your body heat When you're lying right next to me Can you let me know what this is all about? Don't turn away now... Even though I try to hide, it seems that you can tell You know my body language, you know me far too well Baby, It gets hard when you're not around But I know I'm guilty as charged when you don't make a sound I always try to run away. I never get very far. Why does it feel so cold? Can't feel your body heat When you're lying right next to me Yet I know what this is all about? So I guess I'll turn away now...

And the story drags along With my glory strapped on With closets and basements below Filled with bags of old clothes Boxes stacked to the floor Of my upstairs neighbors abode Week old dinners in the fridge I'm just not convinced that it's garbage I just can't throw away all of my memories But storing all these years will be the end of me Selling these pogs, and games, and dusty old antiques Gives me the worst kind of anxiety If my shirt has rips and holes It makes them holier than thou I have shelves and shelves of books but still don't know what they're about I'm sure it takes more than a smile For someone to disarm me I think it's time my G.I. Joes Joined the Salvation Army

Stuck in the middle I was so little I was just a child Too young to see it transpire Please don't disown me While I get to know me You'll never understand what it's like to grow up on the sideline All I know is fear and hate for what is on the other side Here is a box you're never to open Don't talk to anyone There's always someone Waiting to take you away Don't even bother to look, they could be anywhere No disrespect Mother, but I need to know What kind of monsters lurk in the shadows You'll never understand what it's like to grow up on the sideline All I know is fear and hate for what is on the other side Everyone at some point need question their faith There's no malice, no intent to betray You'll never understand what it's like to grow up on the sideline All I know is fear and hatred for what's on the other side I'm not trying to forget or forgive, I just need another perspective I need both sides of the story. What I don't know is what will destroy me.

Open sores, and swollen pores Unfortunate boys tortured, but they ignore The 6 legged beasts upon their neck Bodies clothed by swarms of insects It's just a picture on a page of an educational magazine There's no description for the sensation that it's giving me Run run away from the blood made symmetry Run run away from insects and infections Can you feel the hives, bee hives, hi definition brings this scene to life Pages so thin, But I feel these heinous minions diggin holes in my skin I'm cramping up from the top my stomach to the bottom of my waistline Everybody head for the hills, I feel these chills climbing up and down my spine Goosebumps like swollen tumors and boyles, Symptoms of flu produce fevers that boil. How can these pictures bring upon sickness? Contagious images? Can one get rid of this?

2 weeks ago I learned to live a little more After the kind of news that makes your jaw just hit the floor I see you all standing there But how the hell can one prepare I just need some time to myself... I'm Leaving here. I have no use for fear. I have no tears in my eyes. So let me enjoy my demise. Leave me here So I can laugh and cheer And sing the songs that I will keep Even after I fall asleep 2 months ago I came home for the very last time To reclaim everything and everyone that I could call mine. But now there's this time limit 4 years gone in just one instance Please spare your time to listen to me, scream I'm staying here. I'll have another beer. I can't be left alone When the call I've been waiting for hits my phone Family, I don't want to be around When I start to scream I'd rather have my friends hold me down. Sometimes you can't hold on The disease gets too strong Doesn't mean to let go. It simply means just let go. (No more tomorrow, baby Time is today Girl, I can make you feel Okay No place for hidin baby No place to run You pull the trigger of my...)

Ursula 04:25
Don't believe everything that you read In all the forums and trashy magazines Not your typical beauty queen She won't bite the hand that feeds And she's all I wanted her to be Shed your skin and show your true colors to me. I will take care of you Cuz Only I know the truth It doesn't matter what they say Ursula, Don't turn away You're the girl who broke the mold Standards and myths of the old Take my hand girl, Don't be afraid My Ursula won't walk away I can't believe how much she's grown In the short time that I have known She's broken from her cage Now she's the star of a bigger stage Don't forget about the love you leave behind Don't you know you'll always be mine? be mine.

SuperMomo 03:27
I think the humans have gone away for now I think I'll take another nap Then run around the house I'll make a mess, and tear up papers Then I'll fly above skyscrapers Ever since my day of birth It's been my job to save the earth My name is SuperMomo That's a name the humans don't know Dog by day, hero by night Weak to chocolate kryptonite I mix my dry food with my wet Then leave a hot present by the steps Chewing things made of rubber Confusing sit with rollover These are the things that help a brother Keep from blowing up his cover While Scooby Doo solves mysteries I'm making bad guys history My name is SuperMomo That's a name the humans don't know I am Protector of peace As long as I'm not off my leash My name is SuperMomo That's a name the humans don't know Saving people is my duty That smell is also my doodie Momo to the rescue! (ruff! ruff!) My name is SuperMomo That's a name the humans don't know I am called upon by a symbol They reward me with Bits and Kibble My name is SuperMomo That's a name the humans don't know When catching villains I never fail Except for the one they call "Tail."

Excuse me Mr. Reverand My soul has been tainted by sin I got an appetite for blood and skin Is there something in your book that'd make me whole again? There's too much devil in my rock n roll And Not enough Jesus in my soul I must be the walking dead Cuz all I feel is your hand upon my head. You must feel real good inside Making a dime off fear and lies off some old widow, for her man she grieves You can take her pain if she's willing to believe They claim that you're their savior. But you don't show their dead bodies 6 months later Forgive me Mr. Televangelist But it might be satan in my body saying that you're full of shit. You say that you are some sort of prophet But how does saving souls result in profit? Who are these folks that you're exploiting? Cancer patients awake at 4 in the mornin? There's too much devil in my rock n roll And Not enough Jesus in my soul I must be the anti-Christ Because my body's rejecting all your lies. You like to prey on the weak and gullible I don't mean to burst your bubble Forgive me Mr. Televangelist But it might be satan in my body saying that you're full of shit.

Hello dusk Cover the land with purple dust Exhale the air so fantastic Its fragrance is orgasmic If you got the gas, I've got the wheels I want you to see how it makes me feel To have the earthly ghost breathe down my throat We can go for a ride at midnight Drive toward the stars beyond the moonlight Roll down your windows, the wind knows, it carries All of the secrets you whisper to me I know of a shortcut that nobody knows It's the longest winding desert of a back road It feels the best when everyone has gone to bed. Just you, me, and my vehicle raising the dead We can go for a ride at midnight Drive toward the stars beyond the moonlight Roll down your windows, the wind knows, it carries All of the secrets you whisper to me Officer, I don't drink and drive It's just the moon makes me feel alive Officer, I don't drink and drive The air at night is what gets me high

You saved my life so many times The way you pour the way you shine The foam that sits on the top your head Makes me glad that you're my best friend Beer... Oh beer... Take me away Because you never let me down Sometimes you're pale sometimes your brown Someone that I can't forget about Especially when you're a stout Some say that you're a bitter dude But you're cool by me, cuz you're microbrewed Anybody who claims to be straight edge Obviously never had a Dogfishead Beer... My dear... Please don't go away Because you never let me down Sometimes you're pale sometimes your brown Someone that I can't forget about Especially when you're a stout So many years misunderstood Mass produced piss that don't taste good It's time to show the world who's back Real beers don't come in 30racks Some people don't like you when you're on cask But I don't mind if you're warm or flat This might sound gay, But I'll say it aloud Get in my mouth! Get in my mouth! Because you never let me down Sometimes you're pale sometimes your brown Someone that I can't forget about Especially when you're a stout Thank you for being a friend to me.

Lemonlight 03:28
The roar of the crowd That amps not too loud It's the best show that you've had For mom and for dad. There's no radio station Just some fun and recreation You start to feel the fire Off the strings of your new squire Living in the lemonlight The universal pipe dream Whatever helps you sleep. Or develops your self esteem Go out and give it your all At every church and every Legion hall You know that love will find you As soon as someone signs you Here I go, turn the pages If I can get past the lineup changes Different strokes for different stages Broadcasting live from yo basement We got a cdr signing for the kids It's magic marker of the tracklist The cutest chick gets my drumsticks I'm a rock god, man, who'd a thunk it? You don't have to work hard. If you wanna be a star. Anyone can be a guitar... Hero...

Conjunction junction What's my dysfunction? It's susceptibility to self destruction I have to get my ass in gear Before I waste another year Dead set on making progress After cleaning up my first mess I shouldn't have wasted my time on so many dead end prospects I'm glad I made up my mind Once I saw that I was so pathetic Rehabilitation is musical masturbation Rely on no one to place my faith in I guess my worst and biggest fear Is wasting the next 5 years Sudden death overtime Now or never or just nevermind I shouldn't have wasted my life on so many hopeless projects I'm glad to finally decide to do this right so I can stop regretting

Demon Heart 03:33
Precious pressure is indecent exposure when i... Show my demon heart without restraint display my concentrated pain Release me, Relieve me And let the angel die Retreating this feeling Every angel has to die Why do I let this happen? She uses my love as a weapon. To destroy an ego, more like a trigger To make this demon heart grow bigger Deceive me, mistreat me And let the angel die Discard me, Discharge me And let this angel die Another me, another me, another me, is like a drug. Them dames, them dames are all the same Set me ablaze, but they can't take the heat of flames Release me, Relieve me And let the angel die Defeated by demons created by an angel who couldn't fly
