Everything that you did
Everything that you said
You may as well be down at the mall
'Cause that's no different, than being at the bar
I saw that look in your eyes
It made me realize
That you changed, changed from what you were
And now you're no better than a pop culture whore

I can't stand being with you
I can't stand that bar scene that you're into
Can't you see what you've become,
It's every fucking thing
That you swore you'd always snub
I can't stand being with, being with

Sit there like all the old fools
Perched up high on your bar stool
One day you told me, "I'll never be like them.."
But I don't see a difference from the outside looking in
All the punks at the bar
Like they could start up a war
Revolution plotted in a bottle,
The thought makes me laugh and I turn on some Nirvana

02 Their System Doesn't Work For You

One day while sitting in my room
You came in preaching
Your words predicting doom
You've never once been
Happy with me,
Because I'm not
What you want me to be..No!!!

You tried to teach me
To pray and go to school
You tried to teach me
To be the system's tool
But you missed
What I was smart enough to see
That their system doesn't work
For you or me

Oh..Don't believe what they say is true
Oh..Their system doesn't work for you
Oh..You can be what you want to be
Oh..Don't have to choose

To join the corporate army
For god and country give up your life,
Don't try to figure out what's wrong or right
You never tried to stop, to look, to see
That you're exactly what you're told to be
You did everything fucking right
You followed the system's guiding light
And now you fucking bitch to me
To fucking get a job,
When you don't like
That life you've got
You fucking corporate whore
For you or me

Oh..Don't believe what they say is true
Oh..Their system doesn't work for you
Oh..You can be what you want to be
Oh..Don't have to choose

To join their corporate army
Don't have to choose
To join their corporate army
Dont have to choose, don't have to choose
To join their corporate army

Your choice... (x8)

03 We've Got His Gun

Dad keeps a gun in the drawer in his room
My best friend is coming over to play
We've got his gun
We're having fun
Trying to find where the bad guys are
I pull the trigger and shoot my friend oh no

Oh no (x4)

Run in the house, grab the phone, and call for help
They said, "hold on, we'll be right there"
Now help has come
They've got the gun
Try to bring him back to life
But it's too late
He is dead oh no

Oh no (x4)

I've watched the news
For many years
This happens every week
This happens in your town
Don't keep a gun in your house
Don't keep a gun in your house

Oh no (x4)

04 Born To Die

He knew he was gonna get it bad
As his dad bailed him out of jail
Leading him from the station,
By a handful of his hair, he said,

"I just don't know what to do with you boy,
I just don't understand!?!?!?
What the hell makes you act like this?"
And looking back, this lost punk said,

"I found it dad,
I found the meaning of life.
You're only born so you can die."
So you can die, so you can die, so you can die

She was showered in money
She was showered with jewels
But her dad beat her every day and night
And there was nothing she could do
She cut her wrists at seventeen

Everyone wondered why
She had it all,
She was rich and pretty,
But alone each night she'd cry

She found it now,
She found the meaning of life
You're only born so you can die
So you can die, so you can die, yeah

They found it now,
They found the meaning of life
You're only born so you can die

So you can die, so you can die, so you can die
Die, die
So you can die, so you can die
So you can die, so you can die

05 The Truth

They feed us brainrot and tell us that it's true
Dan Rather is reporting something but it isn't news
It's molded, it's folded, and beamed into your home
The next minute you find yourself dying for fucking oil

Immediate- Reaction, to the brainrot in your mind
Immediate- Subtraction, to the time left in your life
Immediate- Reaction, to the brainrot in your mind
Immediate- Subtraction, but all we really want,
All we really want, is truth

Bred into silence by television sets
Accepting lies from media so soon we will forget
The lives that we spend as workers for the rich
You work so much there's no time left to realize
That you're in a fucking ditch

06 You'll Scream Tonight

Last night I turned on my TV and I couldn't believe what was on
Some fucking rich kid crying cause her, her boyfriend left her cold
Well why the fuck is this shit playing over air?
To make us feel sorry for some fucking millionaire?

Well I was getting pissed and I was getting mad,
I took a chair and smashed it right into the set
Some fucking businessman is crying "Boo-fucking-hoo.."
As he stops and thinks of all the "poor suckers" he screwed

Well I said, Fuck this propaganda, fuck the news, it just
Controls your minds it fills your, head with crap!
You'll scream tonight, so throw it away
You'll scream tonight, so stay away, stay away

It's a commercial about some Barbie type clone blonde
She's six foot four and only weighs one hundred pounds
She looks so natural like a fucking starving child
They sell her body and her self esteem out loud

Some old man sits the drooling at this fucking smut
"If she'd take off her shirt, well that would be good luck!"
"What was she advertising for anyways?"
He can't remember, "But she sure had killer legs..."

Degrading womyn well it's, nothing new
He's got a hard on now and that's just, fucking, "Great news"

You'll scream tonight, so throw it away
You'll scream tonight, so stay away, stay away
You'll scream tonight, so throw it away
You'll scream tonight, so stay away, stay away

07 Indie Sux, Hard-Line Sux, Emo Sux, You Suck!

The indie kids are a bunch of snobs
They complain my timing's all off
I think timing is for stupid fucks! Why do they think I
Play PUNK ROCK!!!
Steve Albini playing god of indie heave, stupid dorks
Keeping time in seven and eleven!

Indie sux, hard-line sux, emo sux, YOU SUCK!
Indie sux, hard-line sux, emo sux, YOU SUCK!

I'm not a vegan and I have had sex,
So some hard-line kids tried to kick my ass
If you're not like them they want to clean your clock
They're nothing but a bunch of jocks!
They're anti-choice, they're facist youth,
Their songs all song like metal tunes!

Indie sux, hard-line sux, emo sux, YOU SUCK!
Indie sux, hard-line sux, emo sux, YOU SUCK!

But what about punk rock?
What about punk rock? Hahahaha
I've been told emo songs are deep, which translates into
REALLY WEAK!!!!!
All they ever do is cry, did something get caught in their eyes?
I just can't understand it all,
Even I don't always bawl..
Boohoohoo..
My girlfriend dumped me
And I'm really really hurt...

Indie sux, hard-line sux, emo sux, YOU SUCK!
Indie sux, hard-line sux, emo sux, YOU SUCK!
They sux, you suck, they sux, you suck.....

08 Anti-Violent

100 kids just having fun
Until you come
Your steriod arms
And skinny head
You cut your wrists
Slash your face
Call it performance art
Trying to be cool
You're ignorant

Anti-violent
Anti-violent
Anti-violent
Anti, anti

You start a fight
Drink beer all night
And molest little girls
Tell everyone there
That you're psycho
Psy so psy psycho
Well I don't think
You're psycho
You're just
Another show off
Go and shoot up
One, one last time

Anti-violent
Anti-violent
Anti-violent
Anti, anti

We don't need
Your war (x3)

Anti-violent
Anti-violent
Anti-violent
Anti, anti (x2)

09 20 Years Of Hell

I've stood by, and I've cried,
While my friends have died
You evfer had a friend kill
Themselves, shot down, or
Knifed?
Just when I think it's ahppned
For the final time,
It comes knocking back again to
Devastate my life

20 years of hell
20 years of hell
For I've been living far too long
And I wish my life was done (x2)

20 years of hell
I said, "Good-bye" to you, on a
Summer's night
Now I wish that I had stayed
With you but, oh it's too late
Next thing I knew was that
You'd been in an attack
And you were laying in a cold
Morgue stuffed into a body bag

20 years of hell
20 years of hell
For I've been living far too long
And I wish my life was done

I saw you last night you said that
I was wrong
And where'd I get the idea you
Were gone?
I woke up to the sounds of my own screams
I woke up in a cold sweat it was just a dream
And that dream goes on and on
And on...
Will it ever end? Well I don't...
I don't know
I don't...know..

10 I'm Having A Good Day

Watching TV talk shows is a lot of fun
I like it when they alwasy have on
People who are shooting guns
Inbred couples from West Virginia
Inbred people, who want to kill you!
I saw a story about a man
Who was fucking his daughter,
And his wife was fucking her mother
It was the kind of thing
That'd make you want to shoot up! Yes
Tonight's gonna be a really good time
I'm gonna go out
And get real fucking high
I'll shoot some guns,
I'll drive around in my car,
You know I'll probably end up
At the fucking bar
And while I'm there I'm gonna,
Get real high,
I'm gonna kick some ass,
I'm gonna fuck shit up!!!
I'll kick you in your fucking teeth
If you get in my way..because
I'M HAVING A GOOD DAY!!!
I'M HAVING A GOOD DAY
I'm JUST HAVING A GOOD DAY
And I don't want you there!
No, you'll
Be at home watching your TV set
You've got your hand holding
Your fucking dick,
And you're cumming
In your fucking mouth..OK
