Teen Idols

Last night I saw you crying
In the arms of another guy and
Each lonely teardrop was for me
His hand was on your shoulder
Somehow you looked much older
New love has changed you totally

Each day it feels so strange
Since our closet's rearranged
I'm not feeling quite the same
Cuz I'm alone

I'm not the one
I'm not the one
I'm not the one who said
I don't want to be with you

I remember reading your letters
And the nights I slept with your sweater
The only thing you left behind
You said that you'd outgrown me
You were tired of feeling lonely
Now it's too late to change your mind

In a modern evolution there are brand new creatures
Classified loosely as technology freaks
Always searching cyberspace for upgraded features
Ridiculed by others, labeled retards and geeks

I want to pull the plug and cause your system to crash
But then where would you be?
With no heated up discussions in an internet chat
You look like a helpless, virtual loser to me

Virtual, virtual, virtual loser

Their closest human contact
Is through a keyboard and mousepad
But you can't take a computers to the senior prom
To reach 'em write loser care of mommy and dad
or www.loser.com

Somewhere down on highway 51
Been thinkin' about you for so long
Can't seem to count the endless miles
Or the times I've missed your smile

But then you were so very young
And a young girl must move on
But there's nights that I wonder
If you remember

But I've been so far away
I really have to say
I never once forgot you
Or the memory of your face
But I've been so far away



Sometimes children make a vow
Friends forever starting now
They can't know what lies ahead
End up breaking words they've said

Our intentions were so good
Tried to work but never could
Let the children dream together
Forever

It's time to put down your easy bake oven
And all your other little girl things
Big girls don't play with toys
At least that's what it says in this magazine

She can't say why
She's ready to try and become what she sees around her
Now maturity has found her
All the big kids say
Girl you need to change your ways
And she finds that ok, she's a big girl now

Confusion rules a little girl's mind
When she tries to do those older girl things
Big girls make it look so easy
To catch the boys that always tease

She'll get hers some day
If only she can find her way
But she's got no time today


She's a big girl now

Rejection makes her feel so sad
Just like a little girl inside
She'll put on her big girl make-up
But it just accents the tears she can't hide

She can't say why
She wanted to trader her precious little girl dimples
For PMS, cigarettes, and pimples
She's searching for a way to be little girl someday
But she can't find a way
Because she's a big girl now

Hangin around this place tonite
Makes it clear that I was right
About the things we had in store
Even though we were so poor
We had our flaws
You had your doubts
But I knew it would all work out
And when all the chips were down
You never came around
When the call came run or fight
You ran hard with all your might
You thought without you we'd be lost
You were wrong at such a cost
We've been so far, you've been so not
I've been bitter, said fuck a lot
Through this strife we are strong
We've come too far to be wrong

Now and then you feel so bad
Wishin for times you never had
But it's far too late
And tomorrow just won't wait
Now and then you feel so blue
Because time ran out on you
But the world has gotta spin
Now and then

We couldn't afford to treat you right
Cookies and milk tucked in at night
Nights of sleepin in our van
Wasn't park of your master plan
You have my pity that you fucked up
If you're still trying I wish you luck
You're gonna need all you can get
This world is hard for a peice of shit

Now and then you feel so bad
Wishin for times you never had
But it's far too late
And tomorrow just won't wait
Now and then you feel so blue
Because time ran out on you
But the world has gotta spin
Now and then

Here I go on another trip
Another meal I skip
Cos I'm lookin for something

It's something that I may never find
But I've got lots of time
And it's never for nothing

Cos one thing I won't do is lay down and die
Cos I'm not a quitter

Some things I've gotta figure out for myself
And you just can't tell me
And maybe some distant rainy day
I'll look back and I'll feel so silly
But til then I'll keep on pushin on
Until one day I'll break through
Become the man that I knew I'd be
And I will owe it all to you

Sometimes all that it's gotta take
Is to make mistakes
And my lesson is branded


But through my trials I will find my way
And I'll never say that my lesson was handed

Although you tried your best
To lend me a hand
This is still my lesson

Some things I've gotta figure out for myself
And you just can't tell me
And maybe some distant rainy day
I'll look back and I'll feel so silly
But til then I'll keep on pushin on
Until one day I'll break through
Become the man that I knew I'd be
And I will owe it all to you

Standin' round at a punk rock show
I'm watchin' a band that's way too slow
I'm feelin' fine from beer and whine
But this damn place is a waste of my time
Let's go, alright!

Come dance with me
Fuck you! Come dance with me
Fuck you! Come dance with me
I'm feelin' fine cause I fuckin' lost my mind

I'm feeling real mean and getting obscene
I'll grab the first partner that I see
I'll grab him by the arm and swing him around
Then pull his hair and drag him to the ground
Let's go, alright!

Come dance with me
Fuck you! Come dance with me
Fuck you! Come dance with me
I'm feelin' fine cause I fuckin' lost my mind

Come dance with me
Fuck you! Come dance with me
Fuck you! Come dance with me
I'm feelin' fine cause I fuckin' lost my mind

Let's Make Noise
Let's make noise in the bathroom
Make everyone wonder what's going on
Let's make noise in the bathroom

Come on pretty baby now you won't regret
Get ready, on you mark, get set
Let's go down the hall and get real wet
I'll show you a time that you won't forget

The only thing that's wasted here is our time
These greeks aren't friends of yours, and they're no friends of mine
So let's take off all our clothes, and leave them all behind

Let's make noise in the bathroom
Make everyone wonder what's going on
Let's make noise in the bathroom

The time is right for making romance
'Cause the rest of these fools don't stand a chance
They won't even start to take down their pants
Come on with me and do the naked dance

The only thing that's wasted here is our time
Everybody's passed out for drinking strawberry wine
They Should have never bothered with our kind

Let's make noise in the bathroom
Make everyone wonder what's going on
Let's make noise in the bathroom

Johnny has a dream to make the sceen
Where all he has to do is make girls scream
Unbuckling his belt will surely make them melt
Turning butter into cream

For now, he's an unknown who's content to take orders
Stocking magazines, turning fives into quaters
Soon he'll make them see that he's got what it takes
When they get a look at his 14 inch snake



He's got a job in a porno shop, where he mops up for free
Oh, it may suck now, but he knows somehow
He'll see his face on a T.V. screen

Take a moment and remember how things were
But don't get stuck there because
You're future's still unsure
Keep moving forward, there's adventure still in store
Make your way because there's always something more

I know good time days were fun, but the good times have just begun
Historian

We need hope for things that lie ahead
Don't take comfort in the things that cause you dread
It's the unknown that makes us run away
Don't waste it hiding


Reach out and seize the day

It's easy to get lost in a world of yesterdays
Can't move ahead when the past is in your way
Don't look back at the tracks left in the sand
You'll lose your way, with no one to hold your hand

Parents fightin', my brother's lyin'
My girlfriend says my outlook's frightening
I'm always spendin' what grandpa's lendin'
My future and my job's dead ending

I'm going to the store
To be free once more

Won't you help me run away again
I've got to run away
I've got to find the place that I'm after
Won't you help me run away again
I just can't seem to run and hide
From the world outside
Won't you help me run away again

20
20 or Captain Morgan's
Can you help me pick my poison
It's always liquor or something quicker
My girlfriend will take some if you trick her

Alarm clock starts the day
I rub my eyes and try to delay
The painful crawl from my bed into the hall

Scratchin' my head
Eyes are all red
Feet are like lead
Like the walking dead
My hatred is fed as a girl with rosey cheeks just said

Good morning what a lovely day
The sun is shining down in golden rays
You're a very special person in your special way
How nice it's to see you everything's ok

My remote turns off the tube
I cuss out loud thend go to find some food
Somewhere cheap and fast, just like my life

At the restaurant
Ask what you want
They're missing some teeth
And they're underneath
The standard of scum but still they bring your food and say



Good morning what a lovely day
The sun is shining down in golden rays
You're a very special person in your special way
How nice it's to see you everything's ok

Get to my job
Get bullied by slobs
Take orders from knobs
Who work for the mob
While I'm getting robed I'll force a smile and try to say

Good morning what a lovely day
The sun is shining down in golden rays
You're a very special person in your special way
How nice it's to see you everything's ok

Dominance, a portrayal of his being
Indifference is the image we are seeing
But image isn't everything
And everything he has we've been shown
His outer shell is ruggedness
But inside he is cold and alone

He fools the world day by day
By actions he is showing
They yield his territory
Without ever really knowing
That inside his heart remains a little child
Who's fearful of the world
And retaliates by pretending he is wild

He's a tuff guy who walk the walks
Tuff guy who talks the talk
Tuff guy believing not what he says or who he is

His wayward bas-ass attitude
Makes him feared and hated
But someone will expose the hoax
Of this monster he's created
When that day arrives
He'll hang his head in shame
And laughter will be heard
At the mere mention of his name

Creating a past of action tales
And bold heroic glory
Amounts to a collection of exaggerated stories
Reality clarifies that only one thing is true
Whether to believe or not is only up to you

Someone spoke your name again
And it took me back to a time when we
We were more than friends
I realized I was staring at the floor
And all my friends keep telling me
I do it more and more

I try so hard push you from my mind
And get a grip on life and then it's
Slowly slipping away
But in my room I sit by the window in a chair
And remember you sitting there
With your picture in my hand

It brings me back when I hear your name
Remembering childhood games and playing in the rain


I sometimes wonder if you feel the same
Because I think of us when I hear your name

I lose myself in memories
Of pleasant times because in all my dreams
You're always by my side
Things aren't what they used to be
And I wonder if it's destiny for me
To wake up alone

Remember back to you and me
And the way things were suppose to be
Remember how we'd run and play
And now those things just fadde away

But I tried, I tried
I can't see why we'd have to say goodbye

Thinkin' 'bout the old grey shed
And the pile of straw we called a bed
How we would waste our summer days
And now those memories are just a haze

What does it matter to ya
If I can see right through ya
What does it matter to ya
Can't ya see the lies were true

But when I see you now and then
With your arms around another man
It takes me back to you and me
And the way things were suppose to be

1989 was her first all ages show
When she laid her eyes right on
This boy she had to know
But he had a girlfriend
And she was so damn mean
When he looked into her eyes
Her heart burst at the seams

She knows it's true, he's gonna forget you
And now there's nothing you can do
For now she waits outside
Cuz she knows she'll be the next in line

News of their breakup
Didn't come as quite a shock
Everybody knew it was
The tickin' of the clock
She's anticipating that he'll look to her
When he asked her out that night
Her mind was all a blur
