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
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 the youth with useless 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...

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

ONLINE SONGS

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 still keep it around
When you know it brings me down
I'm hating everything
And I know that you dated other guys
But I got to 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 home in his car
You're making out in his front yard
I'm hating everything.

Please don't remind me
Put your past behind me
It shines so bright it blinds me
I wish that it would end
Am I am not fine
Last night I saw you online
Your screen name used to be mine
Why can't we just pretend

And if we can have another day
I've got so much left to say
I'd 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 past behind me
It shines so bright it blinds me
I wish that this will end
Am I am not fine
Last night I saw you online
Your screen name used to be mine
Why can't we just pretend

Please don't remind me (repeated at the end)
Put your past behind me
It shines so bright it blinds me
I wish that this will end
Am I am not fine
Last night I saw you online
Your screen name used to be mine
Why can't we just pretend

And she said
Nar Nar Nar...

"I just forgot you were there"

Nar Nar Nar...

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 just scared of what you think
You make me nervous so I really can't eat.

Let's go
Don't wait
This nights 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 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 nights 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 (repeated)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, YOU BASTARDS

Its Christmas Eve and I've only wrapped
two fucken' presents
Its Christmas Eve and I've only wrapped
two fucken' presents
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
I'll never talk to you again

It's Labor Day and my grandpa just ate seven fucken' hotdogs
It's Labor Day and my grandpa just ate seven fucken' hotdogs
And he shit, shit, shit his pants
He's always 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

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 answers from
friends of mine
It's dumb to ask cool to ignore
Girls possess me but they're never mine.

I made my entrance
Avoided hazards
Checked my engine I fell behind
DaDa, Dada..
I fell behind.

She makes me feel like it's raining outside
And when the storms gone I'm all torn up inside
I'm always nervous on days like this like the prom
I get scared to move 'cause I'm a fucken' 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 doesnt shine
So read my book, with a boring ending
A short story of a lonely guy

DaDa..
Who fell behind
DaDa...

She makes me feel like it's raining outside
And when the storms 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 fucken' boy

DaDa, Dada...

She makes me feel like it's raining outside
And when the storms 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

THE ROCK SHOW

Hanging out behind the club on the weekend
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 kind of 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, I'm 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
Seventeen without a purpose or direction
We don't owe anyone a fucking explanation

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, I'm 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.

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, I'm 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.

With the girl at the rock show

I'll never forget tonight

STAY TOGETHER FOR THE KIDS

It's hard to wake up
When the shades have been pulled shut
This house is haunted
It's so pathetic
It makes no sense at all
I'm 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 you're dead and gone
Will you remember this night, twenty years now lost
It's not right
Their anger hurts my ears
Been running strong for seven years
Rather than fix the problems, they never solve them
It makes no sense at all
I see them every day
We get along, so why can't they?
If this is what he wants and this is what she wants
Then why is 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 you're dead and gone
Will you remember this night, twenty years now lost
It's not right

ROLLER COASTER

Breathing deeply
Walking backwards
Finding strength to call and ask her
Roller Coaster, favorite ride
Let me kiss you one last time

Leave me standing here
Act like I'm not around
The coast 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 stayed

Lay beside me
And listen to 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 a fucking cliff

And now I'm breathing deeply
Walking backwards
Finding strength to call and ask her
Roller Coaster, favorite ride
Let me kiss you one last time

Make me promise
That I will never tell
All I remember is
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
Roller Coaster, favorite ride
Let me kiss you one last time
Goodnight, goodnight

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 and
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
A memory that's full of fun
Fucked up when it's all done

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
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 redand 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 the parking lot

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
And break the truth with more bad news
We left a scar size extra large

Break a window and bust a wall
Making fun of your friend's 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 that's full of fun
Fucked up when it's all done

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
And break the truth with more bad news
We left a scar size extra large

EVERYTIME I LOOK FOR YOU

I never found out why you left him
But to 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 please shut the door

More time apart will give you
A few more months to argue
Is this too much to live through?
It always seemed too 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 please shut the door

I never did do anything 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

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 want to pierce their nose
And walk around in torn pantyhose, oh yeah

I like the ones who say they listen to punk rock
I like 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 they 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 offend
They don't want to and don't fit in

Hate the jocks, the preps, the hippie-fucken' scumbags
Heavy-metalers with their awful, pussy hair bands
Counting seconds until we can get away
Ditchin' 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

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

SHUT UP

Shut the fuck up she said
I'm going fucking deaf
You're always too loud
Everything's too loud

Now thats all my friends left
This place is fucking dead
I want to 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 in 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 dont 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 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

PLEASE TAKE ME HOME

Oh no, it happened again
She's cool, she's hot, she's my friend
I'd drive for hours, it's so
You leave me nowhere to go

She's unstoppable
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 unstoppable
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
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
