1. Anthem Part II

Everything has fallen to pieces,
Earth is dying help me Jesus
We need guidance, we've been misled,
young and hostile, but not stupid.

Corporate leaders, politicians,
kids can't vote, adults elect them
Mobs that rule the school and workplace,
signs that caution, sixteen's unsafe.

We really need to see this through,
we never wanted to be abused
We'll never give up, it's no use,
if we're fucked up you're to blame

Let this train wreck burn more slowly,
kids are victims in this story
Drown our youth with usless warnings,
teenage rules they're fucked and boring

We really need to see this through,
we never wanted to be abused
We'll never give up, it's no use,
if we're fucked up you're to blame

Everything has fallen to pieces,(3x)

Everything has fallen to ...

We really need to see this through,
we never wanted to be abused,
We'll never give up, it's no use,
if we're fucked up you're to blame!

Josie, you're my source of most frustration,
forget when I don't meet expectations,
everything you wished came true,
in the end we all blamed you,
even though as they all know,
you weren't the only one, two, three, four...

Why do you think you've been around
when you know it brings me down, I'm hating everything
and I know that you dated other guys
but I gotta wonder why you'd leave it out for me.

Why am I still hanging around
when I know it brings me down,I'm hating everything
And you are getting rides from in his car
and making out in his front yard, and hating everything

Please don't remind me,put your back behind me,
chance it that it was me, wish that this would end
And I am not buying statics, saw you online,
that screen name used to be mine, but can we just pretend

If you could have another day,
I've got so much left to say, I'll tell you everything
and I'll laugh when I think about the past,
when I see you after class you're hating everything

Please don't remind me,put your back behind me,
chance it that it was me,wish that this would end
And I am not buying statics,saw you online,
that screen name used to be mine, but can we just pretend

Please don't remind me,put your back behind me,
chance it that it was me,wish that this would end
And I am not buying statics,saw you online,
that screen name used to be mine, but can we just pretend

And she said...
Na na na na na, na na na na, na na na na (I just forgot you were there(3x)
Na na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na

Please don't remind me,put your back behind me,
chance it that it was me,wish that this would end
And I am not buying statics,saw you online,
that screen name used to be mine,but can we just pretend

Please don't remind me,put your back behind me,
chance it that it was me,wish that this would end
And I am not buying statics,saw you online,
that screen name used to be mine,but can we just pretend

And she said na na na na na


3. First Date

In the car I just can't wait,
to pick you up on our very first date
Is it cool if I hold your hand?
Is it wrong if I think it's lame to dance?
Do you like my stupid hair?
Would you guess that I didn't know what to wear?
I'm too scared of what you think
You make me nervous so I really can't eat

Let's go, don't wait, this night's almost over
Honest, let's make this night last forever
Forever and ever, let's make this last forever(2x)

When you smile, I melt inside
I'm not worthy for a minute of your time
I really wish it was only me and you
I'm jealous of everybody in the room
Please don't look at me with those eyes
Please don't hint that you're capable of lies
I dread the thought of our very first kiss
A target that i'm probably gonna miss

Let's go,don't wait, this night's almost over
Honest, let's make this night last forever
Forever and ever, let's make this last forever(2x)

Let's go, don't wait, this night's almost over
Honest, let's make, this night last forever
Forever and ever, let's make this last forever(4x)


4. Happy Holidays, You Bastard

It`s christmas eve and I've only wrapped two fuckin' presents(2x)
And I hate, hate, hate your guts,
I hate, hate, hate your guts,
And I'll never talk to you again,
unless your dad will suck me off
I'll never talk to you again
unless your mom will touch my cock
I'll never talk to you again
ejaculate into a sock
I'll never talk to you again,(2x)

It's Labor day and my grandpa just ate seven fuckin' hot dogs(2x)
and he shit shit shits his pants.
He's alway's fuckin' shittin his pants
And I'll never talk to you again
unless your dad will suck me off
I'll never talk to you again
unless your mom will touch my cock
I'll never talk to you again
ejaculate into a sock
I'll never talk to you again,
I'll never talk to you again


5. Story of a Lonley Guy

Push it out, fake a smile
Avert disaster, just in time
I need a drink, cause in a while
Worthless answer from friends in mind
It's dumb to ask, cool to ignore
Girls posess me, but they're never mine
I made my entrance, avoided hazards
Checked my engine, I fell behind

I fell behind

She makes me feel like it's raining outside
And when the storm's gone i'm all torn up inside
I'm always nervous on, days like this like the prom
I get too scared to move, cause i'm a fuckin' boy

Remember when I was in the grocery store, now's my time
Lost the words,lost my nerve, lost the girl, left a line
I would wish upon a star, but that star, it doesn't shine
So read my book with a boring ending
A short story of a lonely guy

I fell behind

She makes me feel like it's raining outside
And when the storm's gone i'm all torn up inside
I'm always nervous on, days like this like the prom
I get too scared to move, cause i'm a fuckin' boy

She makes me feel like it's raining outside
And when the storm's gone i'm all torn up inside
I'm always nervous on, days like this like the prom
I get too scared to move, cause i'm still just a stupid worthless boy


6. Rock Show

Hanging out behind the club on the weekends
Acting stupid, getting drunk with my best friends
I couldn't wait for the summer and the Warped Tour
I rememeber that it's the first time that I saw her there

She's getting kicked out of school cause she's failing
I'm kinda nervous, cause I think all her friends hate me
She's the one, she'll always be there
She took my hand and I made it I swear

Because I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said "what?" and I told her that I didn't know
She's so cool, better sneak me through her window
Everything's better when she's around
Can't wait until her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

When we said we were gonna move to Vegas
I remember the look her mother gave us
17 without a purpose or direction
We don't owe anyone a fuckin explatation

I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said "what?" and I told her that I didn't know
She's so cool, better sneak me through her window
Everything's better when she's around
Can't wait until her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

Black and white picture of her on my wall
I waited for her call, she always kept me waiting
And if I ever got another chance I'd still ask her to dance
Because she kept me waiting

I fell in love with the girl at the rock show
She said "what?" and I told her that I didn't know
She's so cool, better sneak me through her window
Everything's better when she's around
Can't wait until her parents go out of town
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

with the girl at the rock show
with the girl at the rock show
(I'll never forget tonight)
with the girl at the rock show......


7. Stay Together for the Kids

Its hard to wake up, when the shades have been pulled shut
This house is haunted, its so pathetic, it makes no sense at all
Im ripe with things to say, the words rot and fall away
A stupid poem could fix this home, I'd read it every day

So here's your holiday,
hope you enjoy it this time, you gave it all away
It was mine, so when your dead and gone,
will you remember this night, twenty years now lost,
it's not right.

The anger hurts my ears, been running strong for seven years
Rather then fix the problem, they never solve them, it makes no sense at all
I see them everyday, we get along so why can't they?
If this is what he wants, and its what she wants,then whys there so much pain?

So here's your holiday,
hope you enjoy it this time, you gave it all away.
It was mine,so when your dead and gone,
will you remember this night, twenty years now lost,
it's not right.

So here's your holiday,
hope you enjoy it this time, you gave it all away.
It was mine,so when your dead and gone,
will you remember this night, twenty years now lost,
it's not right
it`s not right
it`s not right
it`s not right


8. Roller Coaster

Breathing deeply, walking backwards,
finding strength to call and ask her
Rollercoaster favorite ride,
let me kiss you one last time

Leave me standing here, act like I'm not around
The coaster probably never clear, can I please go home now
I had that dream about you again
Where I wait outside until you let me in,
and there I stay

Lay beside me and listen out the wall,
we'll keep on lying until the summer comes
I had that dream about you again,
where you drive my car right off the fucking cliff

And now I`m breathing deeply, walking backwards,
finding strength to call and ask her,
Rollercoaster favorite ride,
let me kiss you one last time

Make me promise that I will never tell,
all I remember's the way your bedroom smells
I had that dream about you again,
where I wait outside until you let me in

And now I'm breathing deeply,walking backwards,
finding strength to call and ask her
Rollercoaster favorite ride,
let me kiss you one last time good night

Good night


9. Reckless Abandon

On and on, reckless abandon
Something's wrong, this is gonna shock them
Nothing to hold on to
We'll use this song to lead you on

I learned a lot today,
not sure if I'll get laid,
not sure if I'll fail or pass,
kissed every girl in class

Everybody would waste it all,
to have a summer that they could call,
memory thats full of fun,
fucked up, when it's all done

On and on, reckless abandon
Somethings wrong, this is gonna shock them
Nothing to hold on to
We'll use this song to lead you on
And break the truth with more bad news
he left a scar, size extra large

Sick of drinking the alcohol,
in a million bathroom stalls
Eyes are red and my movement's slow,
too high get her to go
He took a shit in the bathroom tub,
infect the dog with brownie drugs
Tried hard to not get caught,
he fucked a chick in a parking lot

On and on, reckless abandon
Somethings wrong, this is gonna shock them
Nothing to hold on to
We'll use this song to lead you on
And break the truth with more bad news
he left a scar, size extra large

Break a window and bust a wall,
making fun of your friends mom
Turn the music up way too loud,
charged a pizza to the house
Everybody would waste it all,
to have a summer that they could call
Memory thats full of fun,
fucked up when it's all done

On and on, reckless abandon
Somethings wrong, this is gonna shock them
Nothing to hold on to
We'll use this song to lead you on
And break the truth with more bad news
he left a scar, size extra large


10. Everytime I Look for You

Never found out why you left him,
but this answer begs a question,
Too blind to see tomorrow,
too broke to beg or borrow.
Young and Stupid, left wide open
Hearts are wasted, lives are broken

One more point of contention,
I need some intervention
Approaching failing tensions,
betray my short attention span
The distance, bridge the border
Beg forgiveness, round the corner

Everytime I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But everytime I look for you the sun goes down once more
Will the last one out, please shut the door

More time apart will give you,
a few more months to argue
Is this to much to live through,
it always seems to far to drive
The point home, send more letters
Pray tomorrow, ends up better

Everytime I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But everytime I look for you the sun goes down once more
Will the last one out, please shut the door

I never did do anything that she asked,
I never let what happened, stay in the past
I never did quite understand what she meant,
In spite of everything, in spite of everything

Everytime I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
But everytime I look for you the sun goes down
And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground
I left another message, you are never around
but everytime I look for you the sun goes down


11. Give Me One Good Reason

Mom and dad they quite don't understand it,
all the kids they laugh as if they planned it
Why do girls wanna pierce their nose,
and walk around in torn pantyhose, oh yeah

I like the "what you say?", they listen to the punk rock
I like the kids who fight, I guess how they were brought up
They hate the trends and think it's fucked to care,
it's cool when this piss people off with what they wear, oh yeah

So give me one good reason,
why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and often,
they don't want to end up there

Hate the jocks and preps, the hippie fuckin' scum bags
Heavy metalers with their awful pussy hair bands
counting seconds until we can get away,
ditching school almost every single day, oh yeah

So give me one good reason,
why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and often,
they don't want to end up there

So give me one good reason,
why we need to be like them
Kids will have fun and often,
they don't want to end up there


12. Shut Up

Shut the fuck up she said, I'm going fucking deaf
You're always too loud, everything's too loud
Now that all my friends left, this place is fucking dead
I wanna move out, when can we move out? This shit has got to stop

I'll run away

Give the fuck up, she said your life is meaningless
it's going nowhere, you're going nowhere
you're just a fuck-up, she said I'll live alone instead
she said you don't care, I know I don't care

I'll never ask permission from you,
fuck off I'm not listening to you
I'm not coming home, I'm never going to come back home

I got too fucked up again, and passed out on the bridge
Have to forget you, I can't forget you
No sleep on this flight, I'll think about the nights
we had to get through, how did we get through?

I'll never ask permission from you,
fuck off I'm not listening to you
I'm not coming home, I'm never going to come back home

I'll run away
I think it's time that I should leave
I think it's time that I should leave
I think it's time that I should leave
I think it's time that I should leave

I'll never ask permission from you,
fuck off i'm not listening to you
I'm not coming home, I'm never going to come back home

I'll run away
I think it's time for me to leave
I think it's time for me to leave
I think it's time for me to leave
I think it's time for me to leave

13. Please Take Me Home

Oh no it happend again,
she's cool, she's hot, she's my friend
I tried for hours if so,
you leave me no where to go

She's unstopable, unpredictable
I'm so jaded, calculated, wrong

Please take me home, too late, it's gone
I bet you're sad, this is the best time we ever had

I hope, hope that it lasts,
give in, forget the past
Be strong when things fall apart,
honest this breaks my heart

She's unstopable, unpredictable
I'm so jaded, calculated, wrong

Please take me home, too late, it's gone
I bet you're sad, this is the best time we ever had
Please take me home, too late, it's gone
I bet you're sad, this is the best time we ever had

Why did we have to go date?
It's too easy to complicate
Be strong when things fall apart
(be strong when things fall apart)
honest this breaks my heart
(it's so hard)

Let's go!

Please take me home, too late, it's gone
I bet you're sad, this is the best time we ever had
Please take me home, too late, it's gone
I bet you're sad, this is the best time we ever had
