THE 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 remember 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 that 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, gonna sneak in through her window
Everything?s better when she?s around
I can?t wait til 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

(*)

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

(*)

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??
 
STORY OF A LONELY GUY

Push it out, fake a smile
Avert disaster, just in time
I need a drink, cause in a while
Worthless answer from friends of mine
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 the nerve, lost the girl, left the 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
 
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
What 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.

Their anger hurts my ear, 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
 
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

Get 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 plane
Tried 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 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 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
 
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 will 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 at 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 her bedroom smelled
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
 
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
we left a scar, size extra large

Sip a drink of the alcohol
end up kneeling in bathroom stalls
Eyes are red and my movements slow
too high, got vertigo
He took a shit in the bathroom tub,
and fed the dog the brownie drugs
Tried hard to not get caught,
he fucked a chick in a parking lot

(*)

Break a window and bust a wall,
making fun of your friends mom
Turn the music up way too loud,
Charge the 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

(*)
 
PLEASE, TAKE ME HOME

Oh no it happend again,
she’s cool, she’s hot, she’s my friend
i’d drive for hours,
its so you leave me nowhere 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

Buy 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
 
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 ones who say they listen to the punk rock
i like the the kids who fight against 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, the preps, the hippie fuckin scumbags
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 offend, they
don’t want to and don’t fit in

So give me one good reason,
why we need to be like them
kids will have fun and offend, they
don’t want to and don’t fit in
 
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
Forever and ever, let’s make this last forever

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 0capable 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
Forever and ever, let’s make this last forever

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
 
EVERYTIME I LOOK YOU

Never found out why you left him,
but this answer begs that 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
Approached with vague intentions
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

[*]

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
 
ANTHEM PART TWO

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
Laws 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,
Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to pieces,
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!
 
WHAT`S MY AGE AGAIN

Took her out, it was a friday nighy
I wore cologne to get the feeling right
We started making out, and she took off my pants
But then I turned on the TV
And thats about the time she walked away from me

Nobody likes you when you’re twenty-three
And I’m still more amused by TV shows
What the hell is ADD ?
My friends say I should act my age
What’s my age again ?
What’s my age again ?

Then later on, on the drive home
I called her mom from a pay phone
I said I was the cops, and your husband’s in jail
The state looks down on sodomy
And thats about the time that bitch hung up on me

Nobody likes you when you’re twenty-three
And I’m still more amused by prank phone calls
What the hell is call ID ?
My friends say I should act my age
What’s my age again ?
What’s my age again ?

And thats about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you’re twenty-three
and you still act like you’re in freshman year
What the hell is wrong with me ?
My friends say I should act my age
What’s my age again ? (What’s my age again ?)

Thats about the time that she broke up with me
No one should take themselves so seriously
With many years ahead to fall in line
Why would you wish down on me
I never want to act my age
What’s my age again ?
What’s my age again ?
What’s my age again ?
 
THE PARTY SONG

Do you want to come to a party
My friends picked me up in their truck at 11:30
This things at a frat house but the people are cool there
Reluctant I followed but never dreamed there
Would be someone there who would catch my attention
I wasn’t out looking for love or affection
So I paid my 3 and the girls got in free
Shine the beer and tequila and we headed into the party

And then in the backyard some terrible ska band
Someone in the background was doing a keg stand
This place is so lame all these girls look the same
All thse guys have no game I wish I would have stayed
In my bed back at home watching TV alone
Where I’d put on some porn or have sex on the phone
Far from people I hate down from anywhere state
Trying to intoxicate girls to give them head after the party

And then I saw her standing there
With green eyes and long blond hair
She wasn’t wearing underwear at least I prayed that
She might be the one maybe we’d have some fun
Maybe we’d watch the sun rise
But that night I learned some girls try too hard

Some girls try too hard
Some girls try too hard to impress
With the way that they dress
With those things on their chests
And the things they suggest to me

I couldn’t believe what this lady was saying
The names she was dropping the games she was playing
She dated this guy who now rides for Black Flys
How she’s down with the Iwise well constructed disguise
Now I’d rather go dateless than stay here and hate this
Her volume of makeup her fake tits were tasteless
So I said I’d call her but never would bother
Until I got turned down by another girl at a party

So when you see her standing there
With green eyes and long blonde hair
She won’t be wearing underwear and you’ll discover
This girl’s not the one and she’ll never be fun
You should just turn and run because you’ll find out that

Some girls try too hard
Some girls try too hard to impress with the way that they dress
With those things on their chest
And the things they suggest to me
 
MUTT

He pauses shaving and he tells himself that he is the bomb
She has her curlers set, her credit cards are paying the funds
He’s not that old, I’ve been told
A strong sexual goal
She goes out ever day
She goes every way oh yeah !
And they don’t even care at all

She’s open waiting for more
And he’s only looking to score
And it’s way too unhealthy
Often they’ve typically
Been starved for attention before

She smokes a dozen and he doesn’t seem to notice the smell
He took the seat off his own bike because of the way that it felt
He wants to bone, this I know
She is ready to blow

They go out every night
His pants are super tight oh yeah !
And they don’t even care at all
 
DYSENTRY GARY

Got a lotta heart ache
He’s a fuckin’ weasel
His issues make my mind ache
Wanna make a deal

‘Cause I love your little motions
You do with your pigtails
What a nice creation
Worth another night in jail

He’s a player, diarrhea giver
Tried to grow his hair out, friends were listening to Slayer
I’d like to find him Friday night
Hanging out with mom, trying on his father’s tights

Life just sucks, I lost the one
I’m giving up, she found someone
There’s plenty more
Girls are such a drag

So all you little ladies
Be sure to choose the right guys
You’ll come back to me maybe
I’ll shower you with lies

Got a lotta heart ache
He’s a fuckin’ weasel
Decisions make my mind ache
Wanna make a deal

Ease away the problems and the pain
The girl chose the guy that makes you wanna kick and scream
All along, you wish that she would stay
Fuck the guy that took and ran away, yeah

He’s a player, diarrhea giver
Tried to grow his hair out, friends were listening to Slayer
I’d like to find him Friday night
Hanging out with mom and trying on his father’s tights

Life just sucks, I lost the one
I’m giving up, she found someone
There’s plenty more
Girls are such a drag

Fuck this place, I lost the war
I hate you all, your mom’s a whore
Where’s my dog ?
‘Cause girls are such a drag
 
DUMPWEED

It’s understood, I said it many ways
Too scared to run, I’m too scared to stay
I said I’d leave, I could never leave her
And if I did, you know I’d never cheat her

But this I ask, it’s what I want to know
How would you feel, if I should choose to go
Another guy, you think it’d be unlikely
Another guy, you think he’d wanna fight me

She’s a dove, she’s a fucking nightmare
Unpredictable, it was my mistake to stay here
On the go, it’s way too late to play
I need a girl that I can train

I heard it once, I’m sure I heard it twice
My dad used to give me all of his advice
He would say you gotta turn your back and run now
Come on, son, you haven’t got a chance now

She’s a dove, she’s a fucking nightmare
Unpredictable, it was my mistake to stay here
On the go and it’s way too late to play
I need a girl that I can train

She’s a dove, she’s a fucking nightmare
Unpredictable, it was my mistake to stay here
On the go and it’s way too late to play
I need a girl that I can train

Need a girl that I can train
Need a girl that I can train
Turn your back and run now
You haven’t got a chance now
 
DONT LEAVE ME

Don’t leave me all alone
Just drop me off at home
I’ll be fine, it’s not the first
Just like last time, but a little worse

And she said that I’m not the one that she thinks about and
She said it stopped being fun, I just bring her down
I said don’t let your future be destroyed by my past
She said don’t let my door hit your ass

One more chance, I’ll try this time
I’ll give you yours, I won’t take mine
I’ll listen up, pretend to care
Go on ahead, I’ll meet you there

And she said that I’m not the one that she thinks about and
She said it stopped being fun, I just bring her down
I said don’t let your future be destroyed by my past
She said don’t let my door hit your ass

Let’s try this one more time with feeling
One more time with feeling
One more time with feeling
One more time with feeling

She said that I’m not the one that she thinks about and
She said it stopped being fun, I just bring her down
I said don’t let your future be destroyed by my past
She said don’t let my door hit your ass

Don’t leave me all alone
Just drop me off at home
And I’ll be fine
 
ALL THE SMALL THINGS

All the small things
True care, truth brings
I’ll take one lift
Your ride, best trip

Always, I know
You’ll be at my show
Watching, waiting
Commiserating

Say it ain’t so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na

Late night, come home
Work sucks, I know
She left me roses by the stairs
Surprises let me know she cares

Say it ain’t so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na

Say it ain’t so, I will not go
Turn the lights off, carry me home
Keep your head still, I’ll be your thrill
The night will go on, my little windmill

Say it ain’t so, I will not go (na na na na na na na na na na)
Turn the lights off, carry me home (na na na na na na na na na na)
Keep your head still, I’ll be your thrill (na na na na na na na na na na)
The night will go on, the night will go on (na na na na na na na na na na)
My little windmill
 
ANTHEM

Home show, mom won’t know,
run out the back door,
he’s passed out on the floor
Third time, been caught twice,
forgive our neighbor Bob,
I think he humped the dog

[#]
But good things come to those who wait,
‘Cause she laid me
And mom and dad posses the key, instant slavery
No need to explain the plan no need to even bother,
I’ll pack my bags I swear I’ll run, wish my friends were 21

White lies, bloodshot eyes,
breath of alcohol, stole it from the mall
How’s Chris marked with lipstick,
better call their fathers, sleeping with your daughters

[#]

You don’t belong, you left the kids to carry on
You planned their fall
To bad you’re wrong, don’t need a mom dad slave drive song
I time bomb

Turn low the radio, I think I hear my dad
Yelling at the band

[#]

You don’t belong, you left the kids carry on
You planned their fall
To bad you’re wrong, don’t need a mom dad slave drive song
I time bomb
 
TIME TO BREAK UP

I guess its only the men,
who get fucked now and again
We take our chicks to the mall,
we wait in parking stalls
And when we come home too late,
she’s pissed that she had to wait
And my excuse not to call,
it never worked at all

[Chorus]
Time to wake up,
where’s your daughter?
Hurt’s to break up,
she was stronger
All my friends say,
please don’t love her
What did I gain?
Now I miss her so

I used to hate the lipstick,
st stained and tasted so sick
The pantyhose and the bras,
she threw on my guitars
Shit fuck I made a mistake,
I thought I needed a break
The truth is I’m such a dick,
it’s broke and can’t be fixed

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
If you wanna call it a heartache,
then I shouldn’t regret those things, I miss her
If you want the pain to go away,
better suck up your pride and admit, you lost her
Let her go, move on, let her go, move on, let her go

[Chorus]

Move on, let her go, move on, let her go,
move on, let her go, move on, let her go
