Going Down in Flames

Sometimes I wonder 'bout after I'm gone
Will you all judge what I did as wrong
Sometimes I wonder while I'm alone
Am I ever gonna find a home
Do you think it's just a game
Or am I going down in flames?

Sometimes I think 'bout the way things could be
If I wasn't stuck always acting like me
Sometimes I'm locked in a fantasy
I feel myself burn but I won't break free
Day by day it's not the same
Flew to close - going down in flames

Sometimes I laugh or I wear a dumb grin
When I'm not thinking 'bout the mess we're all in
Sometimes I frown or I cry or I scream
Reality breaks and I'm in a bad dream
Kill you too I'd feel no shame
Forever going down in flames

To(o) Many Happy Returns

Here's to many, to many happy returns
It's said that man never learns, from his happy returns
Here's to many, to many happy returns
As in hell we all burn, to many happy returns
As far as I go it's never far enough (x2)
Here's to many, to many happy returns
To many, many, happy returns, to many happy returns
Here's to many, to many happy returns
It's said that man never learns, from his happy returns
As far as I go it's never far enough (x2)

Television (co-written by MKH)
Pictures pass me on the screen, sitcoms, movies what life means
My ears ring, I can't see, TV's taken over me
Ruin's your brain, you'll go insane, ruins your brain, go down the drain
Someday I'm gonna take a brick, throw it through the screen
The onlyw ay I'll free myself from the power of my TV
Ruin's your brain, you'll go insane, ruins your brain, go down the drain

What Went Wrong (co-written by Richard Bryant)
The radio is playin a continous beep
I really had wanted just a bit more sleep
I could dream about my life or having fun
But in 30 minutes my life will be done

Pushed the button
Turned the key
What went wrong
Who murdered me?

The missiles are falling, death is reaped
I really had wanted just a bit more sleep
Life is wasted in a blinding flash
Hell because of a minor clash

Bullshit
I don't wanna hear your shit
I've heard enough I'm getting tired of it
I'm not even listening to what you say
I don't give a shit about the games you play

Bullshit, bullshit
Bullshit, bullshit

You nag like you know everything
You know it's wrong the way I sing
You know all I do is wrong
If it weren't for you I wouldn't sing this song

Bullshit, bullshit
Bullshit, bullshit

You open your mouth shit comes out
You know just what life's about
You know this, you know that
You don't know fucking crap

Bullshit, bullshit
Bullshit, bullshit

Repressed

Gotta go to school every day
Gotta kiss ass, gotta obey
Gotta do everything my 'superiors' say
Gotta get repressed repressed repressed

Gotta go to work every day
Gotta kiss ass, gotta obey
Gotta do everything my 'superiors' say
Gotta get repressed repressed repressed

Won't go to school every day
Won't kiss ass, I won't obey
Won't do anything those morons say
Won't get repressed repressed repressed

Won't go to work every day
Won't kiss ass, I won't obey
Won't do anything those assholes say
Won't get repressed repressed repressed

Not Enough

Once I said I'd got enough
I was young but o so tough
I'd hang in when things got rough
Then I knew I'd got enough

I could take it
No matter what came down

Now I know it's not enough
I'm older now and not so tough
I didn't know it'd be this rough
What I've got-it's not enough

Don't wanna be there, be there no
When it all comes crashing down

Fuck You Dick
Do as I say and not as I do
It's always do as I say and not as I do
I wanna know what the fuck that means to you
This bullshit -do as I say and not as I do

Oh yeah, oh yeah baby
We seem to have a little communication problem here
What I mean to say should be clear:
Fuck you dick!

Who Fucks Up The World?
on a title by Chris Griffin a.k.a. Gob Awful

Everything that you might say
And anything that you might do
Don't know what it means to me?
Well I'll tell you what it means to you

Who fucks up the world?
We do!

Anything that I might say
And everything that I do
Don't know what it means to me?
Well I'll tell you what it means to you

Who fucks up the world?
We do!

Blow Something Up

Destroy to create, create to destroy
Creation destruction, petrol is a toy
Blow something up, blow something up
Blow something up, blow something up

Living frustrated, frustrated by life
Life is frustrating but fire's lovely at night
Blow something up, blow something up
Blow something up, blow something up

Bourgeousie

Hatred rape pain and violence, we're well paid to keep our silence
Middle class payoffs keep us going, smiling face but the anger's growing
Run like cattle, scared like sheep, spoiled rotten you sicken me
Run like cattle, scared like sheep, middle class morons, bourgeousie
Tired of the same abuses, tired of the lame excuses
Too sated right now to fight, but someday you'll stand for what's right
Run like cattle, scared like sheep, spoiled rotten you sicken me
Run like cattle, scared like sheep, middle class morons, bourgeousie

Art Sucks

Who is this man, we've all seen his face before
Don't ask this man, the reasons he's living for
Who is this man, he might live just next door
His face in the papers, a sellout, the media's whore

Art sucks, I don't fucking need it
Art sucks

Why does he do it, this stinking bag of shit
Living pretensions, you'd think he'd get sick of it
Aloof and superior, he knows he's on top of it
Doesn't he know how easily fat thoats get slit?

Art sucks, you can't fucking eat it
Art sucks

Life Is A Movie

I see you, don't know you
You see me, you know me
I'm a character
In your movie

I see you, you're walking
With some friends you're talking
Laugh at me, that seems mean
It's just how you play the scene

I see you being so damn careful not to say the wrong line
I see you living your life like it's a movie all the time

I see you, you're social
Never stand alone
If you're not with someone
Script says use the phone

I see you, you're laughing
'That guy's closing doors'
Wonder why I'm laughing
I live my life, you waste yours

I see you being so damn careful not to say the wrong line
I see you living your life like it's a movie all the time

Anything

Anything that I have got, anything that you might want
I would give it all to you, give it all to you it's true
Any thing, anything at all
Any thing, anything at all

Everything

Everything I did you know I did it for you
Evertime I cried you know I cried for you
All the blood I bled you know I bled it for you
Everything, everything, I did it for
You girl, you are everything
You girl, you are everything

Everywhere I went I went there looking for you
All the dreams I dreamt you know I dreamt them for you
Everytime I bled you know I bled for you
Everything, everything, I did it for
You girl, you are everything
You girl, you are everything

Throw It Away

Hey man, I was a kid once too
And I could throw this all away

All the things that I said you didn't understand well
All the things that I said you didn't understand well

Hey man, I was a kid once too
And I could throw this all away

The things that I said and the things that I did you couldn't understand

Hey man, I was a kid once too
And I could throw this all away
Throw it all away
Well...

Their dream

Let me tell you about their dream, they're just like you, you're just like me
Their dream's conformity, their dream's how things'll be
Their dream sucks, their dream's not how things should be
Their dream sucks, their dream is not for me
Let me tell you about their dream, you're just like them, they're just like me
Their dream's conformity, their dream's how things'll be
Their dream hahahaha, their dream is not for me
Their dream hahahaha, their dream sucks, fight back be free

What Can I Say?

What can I say that it would make you think, what can I say that it would make you do?
What can I say that it could pierce this wall, what can I say that it'd get through to you?
I've been dong this a long, long time now, I don't think anybody listened
What can I say that you would understand, what can I say that it would make you feel?
What can I say that it gets through to you, what can I say to make you see I'm real?
I've been doing this a long time man, I don't see why anybody else would
