I want to say something or else nothing at all / want to prove that I can say something / I want to say something and I'm not going to sleep / going to prove that I'm not too weak / I want to say something 'cuz I'm not going to die / before I state what is on my mind / I want to say something 'cuz I just haven't lived / going to prove I know how to live / you've got a stone inside your shoe / you want to live but what's the use / you want to win because to lose / is something that is not an option / you're going to drink up all the juice / I want to make something of myself while I'm young / while I can, before I get cut down / you want to see the whole world before you're done / while you can, while you're still around / I want to see cynics when they see that they're wrong / when they said that I was a moron / I want to see their heads hitting the floor / haven't see that in far too long / you've got a stone etc. / I want to blow up like a big ol' bomb / going to leave an enormous crater / one night you might find that I am gone / you'll know where you can see me later / when there's only so much time left / could be good or it could be bleak / didn't you say you'd get it done yesterday / go and show that you're not too weak.

When I Get To Your Age
03:08
|

|
You should be mature like me / maybe I will be / when I get to your age / you should face reality / I think I'd rather be free / when I get to your age / you can't call me lazy, I'm not lazy / and take a look at yourself / you drive your car round everywhere, you drink vodka / how good is that stuff for your health? / people's personalities / I don't let 'em bother me / because at least I get laid / you think you know how I should feel / you're telling me reality's real / I'm telling you that it's fake / you can't call me crazy, I am crazy / but so is everyone else / I'm never going to let them wrestle me down / not in the name of mental health / This is an anomaly / all the things we think we believe / they're not much help when you're dead / and we could be dead most of our lives / and none of us would realise / so listen to what I said / and here it is / hold on to your sense of the astonishment / you get when you can't believe just how surprising shit is / everything that you know is so absurd that you just / got to go with the flow and the absurdity will end / and the absurdity will end... / when I get to your age.

Wasnt Supposed To Happen

Wasnt supposed to happen / wasnt supposed to be this way / wasnt supposed to happen, I didn't expect this / and you want me to sit back and accept this / I'm never going to do that, just forget it / I'm never going to do that again / wasnt supposed to happen, I don't believe this / and you want me to sit back and receive this / my senses only partially perceive this / my intellect can just scarcely conceive this / I'm never going to go / oh / Happen / wasnt supposed to be this way / wasnt supposed to be such a contradiction / I guess the truth is stanger than the fiction / now I'm going to have to change my mission / going to have to alter my trajectory such so that I can / slingshot around the inner solar system / taking me beyond mars / make a new life for myself / inside the asteroid belt / whoa / oh / Please God tell me it's not too late to catch the bus.

Chickens

Never curse the Gods of circumstance / they'll just fuck you up with games of chance / that's what you get when you're gambling with all you've got / that's what you get when you used to be winning but now / you're not / try just to go with the flow / get yourself taken to where the wind blows / water holds no shape, it just flows around / but it would be a mistake to deny that everyone drowns / never make believe that you're alone / 'cuz that's all you'll be if you don't take hold of this life and make it your own / that's what you get when you put all your eggs in one batch / that's what you get when you're counting your chickens / before...

Drink The Town Dry
04:54
|

|
Higher order desires / so hard to satisfy / when you don't have a real job / and all you want is to die / and you'll never afford a car / you never learned how to drive / in spite of all of the stuff you're on / you're never getting high / drink the town dry when you get thirsty again / Looking out for the future / not so comforting / wrap me up in nostalgia, give me a song to sing / something from long ago, no / later than '95 / back when we were still angry / pretend to feel alive / drink the town dry when you get thirsty again / you never have to be alone again / everyone out there's going to be your friend / as long as they figure out / what you / can do / for them / they'll be your friend / as long / as they / can find a way / to make you pay / but we write the songs you'll want to sing in your sleep / we shout, you holler / you give us dollars / we write the songs you'll want to sing in your sleep.

Settle Down
04:45
|

|
It's time I settle down / but I've never settled down / you can't fight the world if you want to / you can't get the man on your side / you're going to need a bed to put your head on the pillow and cry / they're just going to see what they want to / you can't get them all on your side / you're going to need a roof over your head to get old and die / you're going to do it too / it's time etc. / They won't let you be what you want to / won't help you out for their pride / don't want to see you catching up for the rest of your life / one day they're going to make you retire / they won't let you choose how your time / is getting spent, is it you or are they doing the spending? Alright (alright) / You're going to do it too / it's time etc. / you gotta get that chin up 'cuz that's adult life / everybody's numb or depressed / we're on a great big boat and it's sinking, the planet / everybody's in the same mess / you gotta get that chin up 'cuz that's adult life / nobody is all that impressed / we're on a great big boat and it's called the Titanic / everybody's under arrest / you gotta get that chin up 'cuz that's adult life / about you nobody could care less / we're on a great big boat with a hull breach in progress / everybody grab a life vest / 'cuz we are going down, we're going to drown / whoa.

Go With What You Know
04:17

I'm sure that when they say that youth / is wasted on the young the truth / is not that you should plan ahead / but love someone before you're dead / and never ever look behind / there's nothing there for you to find / just know that if you try your best / you'll pass the test but not unless / you go, whoa / with everything you know, whoa / I'm sure that when they say that life / is short and painful, full of strife / it's just a game that you can't win / but that don't mean you should give in / if you don't go down with a fight / kicking, screaming, all your might / then you would really look pathetic / your whole existence academic / go etc. / don't want to live forever, but I don't want to die / help me take my mind off this 'cuz I don't want to cry / come on take a deep breath and breathe a heavy sigh / I might never fall asleep again.
