to soften the cells of these hardcore men that pray behind these bars
keep 'em locked up real good, so we won't complain
'bout the injustices, the playground's staying safe for all these kids
and eye for an eye - cause that's what your best friends did

aren't you believing in these mortal sins
cause now driving crazy requires a license 
and the air holes that we're breathing through, they got awful rude
ate cigarettes instead of food

these broken homes smell of cooked hit beat kids and fake tattoos
you said it made you feel so used
to learn that all the thieves and junkies, we might be people too
but hey what can you do...

and there are still some people
faking all the risks they're taking
just cause it makes you sound so cool
but it's not, and all those bad boys and their crew
aren't like the pictures that you drew

the good life's chosen you
so we can all be thankful too.

It's not the destination, it's all about the ride.

(03) Hellen Keller's Girlfriend

They don't know what's happening...
	but what they see, it isn't me.
And so I asked the doctor...
	he said it starts, in these cards.
So what am I supposed to do?
	when everyone's who I abuse
Is there any hope of sanity?
	or will these demons get the best of me.




i just need some medicine
to live or die in this concrete heaven
cause lord, I've got some questions
like why life is so depressing
and crumbling under pressure
but I don't like your answers
so if this will be my daily grind
I'm gonna need another state of mind.

One.Two.Three. 

(04) Me And Laura Palmer

She said "it's kinda hard to get drunk on champagne"
but if you're looking to get trashed that can be arranged
she turned to the toilet with her open arms
and drowned in the poison from their foreign farms
she said "Eureka!" 
I said "Hallelujah!"
she thought she knew ya
but she was just getting drunk

that's when the blackout settled down
that's when the blackout settled down
couldn't tell you left when you left
from my right well I was right 
how's that hangover coming along my friend?
Settle down.

She said "it's way too easy getting drunk off vodka"
I said "I'm sorry that you thought I'd actually call ya"
she turned to the toilet with her open mouth
her stomach started north and it ended south
she said "God save me!"
I said "I don't know how!"
she said "Since when's all this bullshit and lying allowed?"

that's when the blackout settled down
that's when the blackout settled down
couldn't tell you left when you left
from my right well I was right 
how's that hangover coming along my friend?
Settle down.

that's when the blackout settled down
that's when the blackout settled down
that's when the blackout settled down
you know white out don't fix blackouts

that's when the blackout settled down.

(05) White Out Don't Fix Blackouts

Things that I said... I did it for the movie screen
Things that I said... I did it for the movie screen
I did it for the movie screen
Things that I said... I did it for the movie screen
Things that I said... I did it for the movie screen
I did it for the movie screen

Now baby, I'm coming home late
but I swear my smile is worth the wait

I don't see it in the kids
and all those crazy things they did
it makes me wanna quit

I swear to drinkin' I swear to jesus

just cause we're fucking famous.


(06) Celebutante

Sloppy and sticking to the sidewalk are trails of those who wrote anthems 
inspired a nation's birth and creation and pushed all our peers toward progress
there's a reaction that dresses up genius in avant-garde fashion
and if you're still searching for something inspiring, you might just find it

let's go home and write a song that really matters
and we'll sing to all our friends until the love spills out our heads
and we'll touch on shooting stars until we pick our hearts apart
time stops for no one but the moment's an exception
and all we've got is nothing to waste

well there's a speaker on a stand asking me to be a better man
and there might just be a chance that I can wash my dirty hands
and I can be a part of this revelation's modern art

but the only catch is catching up
with everything I should've done
and just say the past is the past.

(07) P.L.U.R.

I try to see past what I've been told
to see what else I can control
there's a man in my head that's got so soul
as he gives me my life-long social role

(sell! sell!)
we've got what you need
(sell! sell!)
aren't you intrigued?
(sell! sell!)
we'll tell you what's free
I'M IN LOVE WITH MY SHOPPING SPREE

and I try...
and I try...
and I try...


(08) You Have The Knife, So Let The Pink Dress Be Red

passed out on the bathroom floor
just like another prisoner
and if it moves, it's kinda magic
cause dabbling don't mean a thing
when it's become a habit

and sometimes we think we've got ahold
of something really wonderful
we come to find, it's fucking tragic
when everybody prays for you
every bloody sabbath

but you know that we've got all the answers
and call ourselves the true romantics
but there's just one thing I'd like you to remember
that you're just not worth my time

you take a breath to know you're still alive
and try to make your heart and brain realize
that things this great, come to an end
but that's what friends are for
they'll pick you back up again

we've conquered heavy weather
and told our heads we're getting better
but that's just a phase
and yeah it's still pathetic
cause I've got decades to survive

you can't always save the world
but you can't save shit if you can't save yourself.

you can't always save the world 
but you can't save shit if you can't save yourself.

save yourself. save yourself. save yourself. save yourself. save yourself.

you can't always save the world 
but you can't save shit if you can't save yourself.

(09) For A Lonely Phonebooth

I sat and talked to my friend 
sitting at the side of the road
with a gun in her mouth, and she mumbles
just give me something, give me something
give me something
that can take me from all of this pain

but I didn't know that it would ever hurt this bad
to take myself from all the pain that I had

and I didn't want there to be a mess
and I didn't wanna end up with another dead friend
and she turns to me in all her honesty
and she says "please don't let there be a baby"

so here's a high-five for drinking yourself to the ground
cause every time you're sleeping you're just sleeping around
so here's a high-five for drinking yourself to the ground
cause every time you're sleeping you're just sleeping around

and now we're coming down
and you don't want me around
and every time we touch
it hurts so much
and everything we are
I didn't think we'd get this far
yeah every time we touch...

so here's a high-five for drinking yourself to the ground
cause every time you're sleeping you're just sleeping around
yeah you're just, yeah you're just
oh yeah, you're just sleeping around.

(10) The Death of Studio 54

How much time would it take
for this old car to make 
it's way outta San Jose
could I get through to you
and make up for all the shit I put you through
and speed into the sunset on a secret highway

but that's just a dream
cause I'm stuck in my routine
and I know you're getting sick of where I've been
hoping to stay clean
or will I become
the war that I won
and forget this town
forget your face
forget my friends
and numb the pain

I'm so sorry
and I'm so tired
I'm done with these needles
I'm done with the lies
I've got a few tricks left
some aces up my sleeves
I won't give up fighting
I'll die on my knees

when september rolls around I will see 
if you'll come back to me and you will stay
cause by then you might forgive all my mistakes
and you will say how much you love me

I'm so sorry
and I'm so tired
I'm done with these needles
I'm done with the lies
I've got a few tricks left
some aces up my sleeves
I won't give up fighting
I'll die on my knees
