Austrailias
I get up in the morning, eyes swollen shut
Past peak, stale and weak & washed up
That Squid versus the Whale and Cheney's got me
reminiscing on my future lately
So I take it outside. Take down the coffee.
Turn off the lights.
I blame you for all of this and that's my fault.
Oh, my friend, one hand blames the other one.
I'll know when to quit but I'm not done yet.
Try to pull the wool over the wolf
'Til you can't see the white of my eyes
Your bastard's not so young anymore.
I can't start the menace,
so I'm skipping out on breakfast
Plenty of shit I gotta eat during the week.
In the case of a catastrophe, I will tell you honestly:
I'm most definitely in need of the weeds
But if you feel like complaining...
Blame me for everything. It's all my fault.
Oh, my man, one hand blames the other one.
I'll know when to stop, but I'm not yet done
Try to pull the wool over the wolf
'Til you can't see the white of my eyes
Your bastards aren't so young anymore
You're pouring sal on every wound
With a salt of the earth disguise
Your bastards aren't so young anymore and you know it.
What you throw out won't come back to you.
Why would it?
Put it down. Come back to it. Put it down.
Try to pull the wool over the wolf
'Til you can't see the white of my eyes
Your bastards aren't so young anymore
You're pouring sal on every wound
With a salt of the earth disguise
Your bastards aren't so young anymore and you know it.
Each day the same as the last one
for just another poor sport.
Every Great Story Has a Shower Scene
Traveling in space like a cosmonaut
Requesting signals or just signaling stop
I hold my breath, I feel that sound, Here it comes now.
Head down. Burning up. I'm ready now.
I'm panicking. Don't panic! But I already said it!
Call back the medics, I'm sick of feeling copacetic.
I'm pulling it together, got my tires out the mud.
I'm digging through the pieces where my brain exploded.
Sweat the night away. Rode the Koen tape
& made up the interstate, count the Jesus Saves.
Alongside our bastard brothers, if you'll excuse the phrase,
these revolutionary days
The record of my time plays better in rewind
These unforgiving, tired lines
Staring at me, my gring shit-eating
Crashing this point home now
Out of my mouth, totally controlled
I'm panicking. Don't panic! But I already said it!
Call back the medics, I'm sick of feeling copacetic.
I'm pulling it togethe,r got my tires out the mud.
I'm digging through the pieces where my brain exploded.
Sweat the night away. Rode the Koen tape
& made up the interstate, count the Jesus Saves.
Alongside our bastard brothers, if you'll excuse the phrase,
these revolutionary days
The lazy morning sun will cast a light across my shadow
It's all I got left Now it's shade for dogshit
When all of this is taken from me, can't buy me, sell me
Beat me, break me
It's all in my letter to the higher ups, get fucked
Funtime
All day long I sing this song and it's driving me insane
All day long I sing this song then I stop and sing it again
I don't know how it begins, I just know it never ends
I feel like singing this song
When I'm singing with my friends
When we're chasing every bottle with the worm
Nothing to be embarrassed of
Gonna shout till our voice cuts out
I turn maniac, fly right off the tracks
I can't relax, I can't calm down
I don't know how it begins, I just know it never ends
I feel like singing this song
When I'm drinking with my friends
When we're chasing every bottle with the worm
Bulletproof Tiger
Staring down demons down at Taunton mutant high
Stepdad was a drunk and every weeknight was a battle
Rubbing elbows with the morning cattle, Sacrifices
Getting even with the demons and all their surprises
I couldn't ask it to leave, I just invited them in.
Can't believe what I just did
Shoved my face inside my pillow
Said Hail Marys til I turned purple
It won't break me down
Won't leave me paralized
I will spit fire on the pious
of the guilty that relate but
see right through me
I will spit fire
I guess you didn't get the not on the nightstand
(forgot to read it)
About setting the house on fire
Somehow the witness of my offense
just pissed on the evidence
Now everybody wants to know where the dog's hiding
One day I'll cash your death check
Buy the greenest and be respectable
That thought had crossed my mind
Oh yes, that thought had crossed my mind
I'll take my chances walking on the wire
Not smart enough to keep my feet out of the fire
With the fear and the pain kept buried alive
this beast inside metastasizes
Crawling deeper. Cut witde open.
Viciously and without warning...
It won't break me down
Won't leave me paralized
I will spit fire on the pious
of the guilty that relate but
see right through me
I will spit fire
I will spit fire
When I've given up all I got
When my guts are tied in knots
It won't break me down
Won't leave me paralized
It won't break me down
Won't leave me paralized
I will spit fire
One day I'll cash your death check
Make believers of the impossible
And I might drop my excesses
the meanest and the unlikeable
But you won't break me down
You won't put out the fires that I spit out
Skid Rock
Tapping on the casket lids of the irrelevant walking dead
The heart got beaten, how it bled!
But thank God for nothing
Suffered a fate much worse than what your mirror shows
The delusional gaze on the satisfied face of the saddest man I know
And how success neuters your vileness
Today's Anthrax, tomorrow's Boys II Men
I used to vomit but it's getting easier now
It's getting hard to keep it down
As long as I got friends, I will have enemies in the making
As long as I got anger, I'll have my downfall
Behind the attitudes and bullshit clothes
We lie in silent disbelief of how our hatred grows
Before the hair grew from your neck
and you moved out on your own
Let it go x4
Disgusted by the set up trends
Puppets selling soda ads
Dressing like your parents did
Saluted at your own event
Accepted on your own behalf
Shove that award up your ass
We thank God for nothing
And how success neuters your vileness
Today's Anthrax, tomorrow's Boys II Men
I used to vomit but it's getting easier now, scout's honor
It's getting hard to keep it down
As long as I got friends, I will have enemies in the making
As long as I got anger, I'll have my downfall
I took my virgin ears to the shed to shred my dignity in the basement
That was just my style
That's how it feels to be buried alive
B-sides
The Outfield -Your Love
Josie's on a vacation far away
Come around and talk it over
So many things that I wanna say
You know I like my girls a little bit older
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I ain't got many friends left to talk to
No one's around when I'm in trouble
You know I'd do anything for you
Stay the night but keep it undercover
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
Trying to stop my hands from shakin'
Somethin' in my mind's not makin' sense
It's been a while since we were all alone
I can't hide the way I'm feelin'
As you leave me please would you close the door
and don't forget what I told you
Just 'cause you're right - that don't mean I'm wrong
Another shoulder to cry upon
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
Yeah
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
Tonight
Chipping Away
(Thanks to 1st mate for these lyrics!)
that tractor's a bastard sometimes
but that don't make me morose
lately I got to thinking
i got half a mind
just chipping away
chipping
away
chipping away
chipping away
all my life
maybe my
shirt's just tucked in too tight
but i wanna get in your game madame
coach
it's the spring training feeling
and that's all the time
from
chipping away
chipping away
chipping away
chipping away
just
chipping away
chipping away
chipping away
all my life
just
chipping away
all my life
ooh, ooh I'm chipping away
ooh,
ooh I'm chipping away
just chipping away
chipping away
chipping
away
I'm just chipping away
chipping away
chipping away
I'm
just chipping away
chipping away
chipping away
all my life
