The Planet Smashers

Rich man, poor man better talk it over
Got a mighty Job, a mighty tall order
Task at hand can easily discourage
Not so far apart, we must encourage
It seems impossible but not so different
Answers can't be found in silence
Sounds in the sunset calling for justice
I believe it's time that we discuss this

Mighty, Mighty
Each and all of us so mighty
Mighty, Mighty
That's right, we're all mighty
So mighty

My girl my love, yeah I'm gonna hold her
Weight of the world rests on her shoulders
Under pressure thought she gonna crack
But she said to me she got a mighty strong back
Bad times I should not despair
With a mighty big heart, and for someone to care
Mighty big loves calls for mighty big courage
Don't hold back, don't be discouraged

Mighty, Mighty
Each and all of us so mighty
Mighty, Mighty
That's right, we're all mighty
Mighty, Mighty
Each and all of us, so mighty
So mighty

Day by day you might not notice
Your tiny steps add up and show us
All together, we are fighting
You may feel small but you are still mighty
Mighty, Mighty
Each and all of us so mighty
Mighty, Mighty
That's right, we're all mighty
Mighty, Mighty
Each and all of us, so mighty
All Mighty

This is not a problem, this is not a test
Come young people let's protest
Now if you have a problem, get it off your chest
Come Planet Smasher come tell them the rest
I can see it coming
This is not a test
Everyone's set too explosive
Waiting to protest

I won't run, won't run, won't run away
Won't run away from here
I won't run, won't run, won't run away
Won't run away from here

Too much, too much violence
Gonna save the world
So much, so much value - gonna save the world
I see the future coming - gonna save the world
I believe that it's worth fighting for

Me not go run, no, me not go hide
To much violence put that aside
Cops and youth collide
Day by day arrests
Separated from the issues
And the media can't resist
I won't run, won't run, won't run away
Won't run away from this
I won't run, won't run, won't run away
Won't run away from this

Too much, too much violence
Gonna save the world
So much, so much value - gonna save the world
I see the future coming - gonna save the world
I believe that it's worth fighting for

Too much violence too much pressure
All poor people how them a go so far
Where y'all go run, where y'all go hide
When the police and the youth,
Them start to collide
Me not run, me not hide
Too much violence put that aside
Tic tock the bombs soon drop
All nationality let's step on top

Too much, too much violence
Gonna save the world
So much, so much value - gonna save the world
I see the future coming - gonna save the world
I believe that it's worth fighting for
Too much, too much violence
Gonna save the world
Too much, too much violence- gonna save the world
So much, so much value - gonna save the world
I see the future coming - gonna save the world
I believe that it's worth fighting for

Everybody on your knees
“It's God?? say the “Polynesse?? (Sic)
They worship me mistakenly
I say “Tiki, who was he???
Trader Vic at Hinky Dink's
He liked sex and he liked to drink
Built a temple to have fun
Huri Popo everyone

Aku-Aku, Mai-tai
Tonight's the night it'll be just fine
Gombay Smash or Kapu-Kai
Can't be bothered by the 9 to 5
Gotta get down at the coconut lounge tonight

Island people are a generous bunch
Offering drinks and buffet lunch
No missionary could ever see
Their downfall in Tahiti
Could this be paradise?
Hula skirts are really nice
Sweet and fruity drinks with ice
If I die this would suffice

Aku-Aku, Mai-tai
Tonight's the night it'll be just fine
Gombay Smash or Kapu-Kai
Can't be bothered by the 9 to 5
Come on I wuna lei ya at the coconut lounge tonight
Aku-Aku, Mai-tai
Tonight's the night it'll be just fine
Gotta get down at the coconut lounge tonight
Aku-Aku, Mai-tai
Tonight's the night it'll be just fine
Gombay Smash or Kapu-Kai
Can't be bothered by the 9 to 5
Gotta get down at the coconut lounge tonight

Retribution. No change, victims of their action
Retribution. In fear, they failed to realize
They did not consider
That we should not be afraid
No I will not be afraid
Of their rage and their power
When we're offering alternatives
How could this be misunderstood?
No notions of a comprimise
They save themselves to save us all?

Looking back will be clearer
They took the wrong turn, they took the wrong turn
Looking back will be clearer
They took the wrong turn, they took the wrong turn

They did not consider
That I will not be concerned
No I will not be concerned
Of their rage and their power
When we're offering alternatives
How could this be misunderstood?
No notions of a comprimise
They save themselves to save us all?

Looking back will be clearer
They took the wrong turn, they took the wrong turn
Looking back will be clearer
They took the wrong turn, they took the wrong turn
Looking back will be clearer
They took the wrong turn, they took the wrong turn
Looking back will be clearer
They took the wrong turn, they took the wrong turn
Looking back will be clearer
Looking back will be clearer
Looking back will be clearer
Looking back will be clearer
Looking back will be clearer

Looking back will be clearer
They took the wrong turn, they took the wrong turn
Looking back will be clearer
They took the wrong turn, they took the wrong turn
Looking back will be clearer
They took the wrong turn, they took the wrong turn
Looking back will be clearer
They took the wrong turn, they took the wrong turn

Direction, I lost my way
Away from this mess I've made
Help me out, I need a friend
To set me straight, to start again
Direction, out of here
Decisions made were misguided
Can't see right in this haze
Need a hand to escape this daze

Light's out, oh oh oh
Light's out, oh oh oh
Light's out, oh oh oh
Light's out, oh oh oh
It takes time

Direction, I accept
Your words unwind and help reflect
In action I will correct
To set things straight, to rise again

Yeah, yeah
Knocking at your door
Keep on swinging, can't take much more
Shit keeps piling up
But you can't stop, won't let it drop
You're going to hang in
You said you've had enough
But that's when you start getting tough
I find it amazing
Now I know why
Good things don't come easily

Yeah, they keep on coming
They keep on coming
Yeah, you keep on fighting
You keep on fighting
Yeah, they keep on coming
They keep on coming
Yeah, you keep on fighting

It's ok to memorize
All your tears and all your lies
Recollect in photographs
If you don't look now you won't look back
When everything's been heard
No more spoken words
Everything is gonna be alright
Recollect in photograph
If you don't look now you won't look back
When everything is learned
Don't say a word
Everything is gonna be alright
It's ok to recognize
All your fears and all your trials
Reconnect with photographs
If you don't look now you won't look back

When all's said and done
You can still right your wrongs
Everything...
Don't say a word
You can't stop the world
Everything is gonna be alright

The boys decided
To start up a band
Wanted to get out there
So they kicked out the jams
Vin sang like an angel
Jimmy played his axe
They took the band out
On an interstellar path

And they can't stop now
No they can't stop now
They can't stop now
No they can't stop now

Investigate the uninvestigatable
Relashonships can stumble but surely grow
They hit the big time and
With a deal in their hands
They had a concept
For the new album was planned

And they can't stop now
No they can't stop now
They can't stop now
No they can't stop now

Investigate the uninvestigatable
Relashonships can stumble but surely grow
Vinnie never turned up
2 days or 3 day passed
He's tied up yoo a bedpost
With the psychiatric staff

But they can't stop now
No they can't stop now
They can't stop now
No they can't stop now

Investigate the uninvestigatable
Relashonships can stumble but surely grow

Can't stop now
No they can't stop now
They can't stop now
No they can't stop now
Can't stop now
No they can't stop now
They can't stop now
No they can't stop now
No they can't stop now
No they can't stop now

That's nice, forgive me for last night
If you haven't noticed
I'm your worst boyfriend - right
You know it
I can't dance and I hate your parents
And what's with your brother, he sees right
Through my shtick

The oppurtunity to get ride of me
Has passed by you missed your chance
Wait to long and now you're stuck with me
And all your friends say 'What are you doing?'
With me, it might be
Possibly a big mistake
The oppurtunity, the oppurtunity

That's right my test scores are a fright
I'm much stupider than you
And now you've got proof
I suck, I suck suck suck suck suck suck suck
Trade up, you certainly can't trade down

The oppurtunity to get ride of me
Has passed by you blew your chance
Wait to long and now you're stuck with me
And all your friends say 'What are you doing?'
With me, it might be
Possibly a big mistake
The oppurtunity, the oppurtunity

The oppurtunity, the oppurtunity
That's right, you can;t get ride of me
That's right, you can;t get ride of me
That's right, you can;t get ride of me
That's right, you can;t get ride of me

J.O, J.O
Hep, hep
Hep, hep

When I met up with her she seemed so shy
Couldn't tell if I could be her kind of guy
Took a shot n' told her that she looked fine
Said 'You wanna dance and have a good time?'
I thought that se might be kidding
When she grabbed me
And dragged me into the pit

Woah-oh, the girl in the front row
Woah-oh, the girl in the front row

The two of us went on
And stomped all night - oi
During the show she fought with security
After the band played we dance to the DJ
I asked how was her night and this is what she said
'I just don't need the aggravation
Of getting kicked in the head'
Woah-oh, the girl in the front row
Woah-oh, the girl in the front row
Woah-oh, the girl in the front row
Woah-oh Go Go J.O!

Don't kick the girl!
Don't kick the girl!
The girl in the front row

Woah-oh, the girl in the front row
Woah-oh, the girl in the front row
Woah-oh, the girl in the front row
Woah-oh, the girl in the front row
Girl in the front row
Girl in the front row

She said to me that she'll reach her objective
No matter what they said
She would not be affected
They wouldn't believe her ideas were rejected
She was dejected
She said she'd find a way so forget about them
Odds were stacked against
But she wouldn't give in
Wouldn't give in

Still they shook their heads at her objective
Their opinions, she would not let infect her
Oh no no no to their negative objections
Their objections

And still she'd find a way, so forget about them
Wouldn't give her a break
But she don't need one
Oh oh
Yeah she'd find a way to forget about them
They wouldn't believe in her
But she couldn't give in
Oh oh
I knew about her objective
I must admit that I wouldn't have guessed it
She impressed me, I'll never forget it
Never forget her

Oh oh her objective
Oh oh her objective
Oh oh her objective

This one is for the king of Tuesday night
You can catch him out walking late
Beneath the city lights
He'll get the brand new tip on the downtown
Arts and life and sights
I feel I really know him cause I read of
Everything he writes
What's he do?

He writes for an Indie magazine
Free from corporate contributions
Reporting from the scene
He can say just about anything he wants

The king of Tuesday night

Gets the latest Moby CD out for review
That no one is allowed
To hear except the chosen few
He has to think up something witty to say
Before the next issue is due
But it won't be long now
Before it's overexposed
And no longer in the news

He writes for an Indie magazine
Free from corporate contributions
Reporting from the scene
He can say just about anything he wants
Spends the wee hours staring
At the computer screen
To immortilize the lives
Of those who're gonna dare to dream
He knows his publication is the heartbeat
Of the streets,
Of the streets!

He writes for an Indie magazine
Free from corporate contributions
Reporting from the scene
He's free to draw his own opinion
In his Indie magazine
He can say just about anything he wants
The king of Tuesday night
Ha

If you're thinking you're forsaken
Then I guess that's up to you
We're so messed up and nothing's changed
And I don't know what I'm going to do
Well I try not to get so mad (so easy)
I know you want to go (why don't you?)

I might be wrong
It could be crucial but
I think we need some time to mend
You might be right
It might be a cruel joke
Something I'd regret ‘til the end

Yesterday things were ok
When I got off the phone with you
How'd this happen, I can't say
But I see what you're going through
I try not to get so mad (so easy)
If you got something to say (why don't you?)

I might be right
May seem unusual
Sometimes it's best not to pretend
When I look back
I probably should've known
That I'd regret this ‘til the end
‘til the end, ‘til the end
I might be wrong
It could be crucial but
I think we need some time to mend
When I look back
I probably should've known
That I'd regret this ‘til the end
I might be right
May seem unusual
Sometimes, it's best not pretend
‘til the end, ‘til the end
You might be right
It might be a cruel joke
Something I'd regret ‘til the end
‘til the end, ‘til the end

Friday at the bar
Friends and happy hour
Somehow it went to far
Tomorrow's gonna blow
Oh it's really gonna blow, yeah

Never gonna drink again, never gonna

Work is finally done

Never gonna drink again, never gonna
Never going to drink again, never gonna

Never going to drink again, never gonna
Never gonna drink again, never gonna
Never going to drink again without you

Crash through the lobby, don't know where to go

You know life' not easy, but it's the only way to be
Maxin' out the cards at every bar the bouncers are after me

All that lies and turned up eyes
Stares like they're to blame
It seems as though you're trying to control
but you can't trick me this way
Shame, hey, I wont play your game,
Hey, they're driving me away,
Hey, I wont fall for your actions of deceit,
driven by your misery and shame
Gestures of kindness manipulate for your benefits
Acting like you're unaware but it's hard not to miss
Off hand comments fill my head with things I can't explain,
silent sneers and crocodile tears, rolling down the drain
Shame, hey, I wont play your game,
Hey, they're driving me away,
Hey, I wont fall for your actions of deceit,
driven by your misery and shame
Yeah I try, not to let it shows, as this felling in my grows
Subtil words twist the knife with the things that they don't say,
don't want to feel this way I won't feel this way
I won't feel your shame

New shades on, look absolutely fine
Stroll down the main, all the passers by
No time all day, no i don't get none,
I turn away frustrated disarrayed
Who have I to blame, leave me crying shame
Never to complain for you I will entertain I can't explain,
these attempts they drain
but I can't give in all efforts will be spend in vain
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
she got too much attitude
Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah too much attitude,
She's so fine but she's not mine what will I do, what will I say?
I want to understand try to be a man,
I'm laughing at my problems as they come my way
New shades on, look absolutely fine
Stroll down the main, all the passers by
No time all day, no i don't get none,
I turn away, this song is done

Why do you think you get what you want with your wallet
Impossible to move I'm a rock (no-no-no)
If you want my attention,
you had better change your ways start acting kind
(no miss-behaving) and stop pushing around
I won't be swayed I won't be swayed
Gifts are nice and present helps
but your money can't buy my love
no-no-no ( no-no-no)
If you want my affection you had better change your ways
(take things easy) send some time (give more freely)
then you'll find the chance increasing of me coming around
I won't be swayed I won't be swayed
I'm not gonna cave in no,
I won't be taken by my wills not breaking I won't be swayed

Park my van on the Pacific shore
We got the wax and we got our boards
It's mid-august and the weather' fine
I'm gonna out to shot the pipe lines
Get up, with the ventures sweet sound
Get down it's always an adventure
I'M gonna surfin' in Tofino
I'M gonna surfin' in Tofino
I'M gonna surfin' in Tofino
And I'M never coming back
Surf the flow, we'll hit Cox Bay
No rocks at Rosies or you will pay
Pull into the park and crash long bech
Flip off the ranger gonna sleep on the beach
Get up, with the ventures sweet sound
Get down it's always an adventure
I'M gonna surfin' in Tofino
Where are you going dude
I'M off to the wick to chatch the big one
Oh All right ! 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9- hang ten

Well let me tell you about, what it feels like,
to be scared of, of a woman
Always worry about she'll find out I'm not her kind of a man

Listen to my warning hear what I say
don't be concerned it's ok to be afraid
Oh-no, why do I need this for why can't put it down
Oh-no why do I need this for fear bringing down

There's a coinspiracy in the powder room
they're going to the bathroom in pairs
To rap about why men don't communicate no wonder no man dares

Listen to my warning hear what I say
don't be concerned it's ok to be afraid
Oh-no, why do I need this for why can't put it down
Oh-no why do I need this for fear bringing down

Yeah man, she bob fling to foot and leave me feel soaked,
I always think she's laughing but I love to think I'm no joke
So play with my emotions even though I'm no toy
All she does is act coy and I'm converted to a little boy
Afraid of the broken heart from the start
Don't start and we will apart till I depart
play smart and listen to my worries hear what they say
Don't be too concerned cause it's ok to be afraid

She got the friends but she needs a location,
he's got a local but he needs the supplies
Her friends have supply so they all get together
Now everybody's welcome to the party tonight
It's time to redefine the new school rude boy two tone suits,
hang'em by the door
Super orgy porno party, super orgy porno party
I've never personnally been to the big party
but I suppose that if I did I'd have a good time
Lots a folks I see do it regularly and they tell me that it feels just fine
It's time to redefine the new school rude boy two tone suits
scattered on the floor

Riding high on a loosing streak out of touch with reality
Haven't left for over a week common sense has sprung a leak again
You've been burned and you felt the pain,
you run right and you do it again
Humanoids are hard to drain Just wise up and don't complain just
Wise up, wise up and you'll no how to do it right next time
You can't figure out what you want
loosing your train wreck of thought think you're above the law
but you're not learnt that lesson but you forgot
Your good life dreams a fake
Holding out for your big break
Keep repeating your mistake wise up for your own sake just
Wise up, wise up and you'll no how to do it right next time
Still life keeps dragging on trying to figure out what ent wrong
Later on may be too late the time is now to instigate a change

I can't get the movie I want
The cool video store's too far away
It's raining out so I'll have to put on with Blockbuster one more day
And sit through another plot
chopped up letterboxed on my twelve inches screen
Tomorrow I'll continue with the same thing again
I wish my life was effort free
Whinning for what I want
Cause trying is just too hard
Trying is just too hard, whinning for whta I want...
I can't get the record I want the indie shop's too far away
My brother lives in the city,
he says he's going to tape it for me someday
In the meantime, I'll listen to myself complain,
tomorrow I'll continue with the same thing again
And what ain't right if you ask me,
the best things in life you should come more easily
Whinning for what I want
Cause trying is just too hard
Trying is just too hard, whinning for whta I want...

Question marks in the dark
making hard to start- always never knowing
suddenly, I can see how the path lies for me,
it's time to get going
I perceive your concern and I try to relate
you say I should be staying
You resist and insist telling me to beware
like you've already been there
CHORUS:
No matter what you say, I'm on my way
No matter what you say I'll do it anyway
I say to each his own when all's told- it is wrong not to recognize this
I'm aware of your advice I really do understand
I hear what you're saying
*CHORUS* ("i'm on my way" 3x, "i'll do it anyway" once)
No more misunderstanding
I won't be caught demanding
for your reassurance cause it has no consequence
*CHORUS* ("i'm on my way" 3x, "i'll do it anyway" once, "no matter what you say" until end)

A girl I met from Quebec city thougt my accent was cute
say I was looking pretty said she likes Grim Skunk,
so we hit it off
Seemed like love till the buzz wore off
Holiday, away from you
Oh I know it's getting really scary
the situation with this girl is getting kinda harry
She's bitchin's holaring,
screaming in my ear
while I'm sit around with my hands down my pants
Holiday, away from you
A girl I met from Quebec city thougt my accent was cute
say I was looking pretty said she likes Grim Skunk,
so we hit it off mais une nuit ca suffit,
one night was enough
Now I'm gone can't get her off my mind
I find myself thinking about her all the time
the separation between us doesn't feel quite righ
Oh je me souviens gotta get on with my life

How can I feel the way I do
Each time I get this close to you
The part of me that won't let go
making me keep my self control
Save it for the right time
when we'll start again
tomorrow's just around the bend
softly crawl into my shell and wait it out till everything is well
What makes me act the way I do
the earth the stars the sky the moons,
Life memories silver and goal,
what makes good times so hard to hold
Save it for the right time when we'll start again
there's no reason to pretend wandering around the world
trying to find myself
you can never walk away from where you are
But right here at home, next to you so all alone,
Is no know one that you've ever known
Silently, sorry
Why save it for the right time
when that's just pretend we can't never have this day again
Love is waiting on the shelf
while I'm too scared to be a friend
wandering around the world trying to find myself
I turn around one day and there you are...
Don't save it cause the right time is the one we're in
so no more waiting to begin open my heart going to let it sing
each grain of sand is everything
the truth is never quite
so far we can never walk away from where we are...

Eleven o'clock news today, fights for TV ratings
It's hard not to believe what I see, but take warning
Media blindfolds bending the truth, suggestions telling me,
Both what I want and what I need.
We are fabricated
We are regulated
We will fight to control the truth
Their control of social trends, makes it easy to forget
The choices that I made, were never mine in the first place
But now I found out and I'm opting out to rediscover
Both what I want and what I need
We will fight to control the truth

I was told I had my senses, I was doing fine
But that's all changed, no recollection
Those days I left behind.
You're in my head, it's worse when you're in front of me
When I see you I can't do anything
Your so drop dead I loose all my motor skills
You see me falling are you laughing?
Self Control no self control need no motivation
Self Control no self control need no provocation
Can't stop my thoughts, they follow you everywhere
You move so fast that I get dizzy
And now I trip when I walk next to you
How can I manage this affliction that you've given me
You're in my brain, swirling like a chemical
You leave me on the floor sputtering
The thermostat is useless when I'm with you
98 degrees and I'm still trembling!!!
I can't move forward I can't look back
I've been crippled by your love attack
It's deep within me it's like a disease
Your burned into my brain
I'm losing all my self control

Sittin' by the fire late at night,
with my friends talking about the good times
Keys were good, can't complain this time
Soaked up lots of sun down at the beach
I'm not concerned underneath the winter sky,
of what lies on the other side
Knock back a few more rolling rock
I wonder if they're alcohol free?
So this Is America?
Far from the sleet and misery.
Don't ruin my euphoria,
seems like livin' here comes here easily
I WISH I WERE AMERICAN
Would I be a Democrat or Republican,
livin large in the land of the
free Do you wish you were American?
Does your blood run red white and blue?
So this is America?
Leaders of Democracy
Don't ruin my euphoria,
and tell me what I do not see
So this is America?
Bless this land of the free
Don't ruin my euphoria,
and tell me what I do not see
I WISH I WERE AMERICAN
(ad lib a la Bob and Doug)

You want to tell your boss what you've been thinking
You want to make sure he knows what your doing
Work overtime never show up late,
sweat for the company and hope for a raise
It's one more week until evaluation day
Your setting up your boss just to give you that raise
Smiling so much your cheeks are getting sore
Hate the things you do just to get a little more
Need some time to think it over
These are the days you get to work on time,
tow the company line to get a raise next time
These are the days that you try to be seen,
be the bosses pet when your playing for the team
Filling out the forms as you've been told
You deserve more cash for the crap you take
You long for the day when your boss is on vacation
Dreaming of the day when your boss takes a vacation
You want to tell your boss what your really thinking
You want to let him know that his company sucks
Wouldn't it be nice to flip him the finger
But you're just going to sit there and take it in the ass
Need some time to think it over
These are the days that you try to be seen,
be the bosses dream and your playing for the team
These are the days that you're dressing all fresh,
trying to impress when it's time for a rest
These are the days that you try to be seen,
be the bosses wet dream makes you want to scream
These are the days that you get to work on time
tow the company line until the day you die!!!

There's something wrong something so very wrong
that's all that I know
Sitting up all night yeah I'm up all night
where did my composure go
Everything is racing
Try to understand this
What have I started?
My passion takes advantage
On and on and on again, Underrated.
How could I have been so blind?
I've missed the signs so many many times
took it all for granted yet another mistake that I can't retake,
blew all of my chances I'm only dreaming
my heart keeps scheming but I could never notice,
Notice that she's something, she's something,
she's something, she's something underrated
I've figured it out yeah I've figured it out there's nothing I can do.
Cuz it's too late oh it's too late at least I know she's something
She's something, she's something,
she's something underrated
How could I have been so blind?

Your face, got all bunched up I could sense the tension in the air,
You're pretty good at pretending but there's no way of fooling me
You said, how it was perfect I tried to believe your claim,
I knew what you wanted was a receipt for an exchange I tried,
please forgive me!
For the stupid present that I gave you...
I knew, what you wanted
How could I have been so stupid?
What was I thinking when I picked it off the shelf?
If I could, (if you could!) only try again
But I suppose that it's too late,
next year is so far away
you know you can't wait till then I tried, please forgive me!
For the stupid present that I gave you...
I had good intentions
had I only paid attention to the request you made the other night
What was I thinking
I must have been drinking when I picked it off the shelf?
I tried, please forgive me!
For the stupid present that I gave you...

A million dollar question
What's the winning look for this year?
The game is on and seasons in full swing
Stakes are high pick your invitations
Careful not to push or shove
If you want in on the new idea
Who will be the first to unite?
Stand up and check your invitation
Sorry if I act this way, these are things that I can't change
Courage is my only hope; I struggle as I try to cope
A million dollar question
What's the winning look for this year?
The game is on and the pace is picking up
Place your bets no room for hesitation
The trick is to show some love
If you want in on the next idea
Gotta say you're in the know
Stand up and check your invitations
Sorry if I have to say, you'll never see me last this way
Courage is my only hope; I struggle as I try to cope
Sorry if I act this way, these are things that I can't change
Courage is my only hope; I struggle as I try to cope
You will never see me act this way
Must I always be the one to bleed?

Don't wanna see you again don't want to hear of you
When it is over it is over
Won't speak of you again
Wish I never knew you
Thinking of your face makes me ill
Safe to say that I messed up
Safe to say that I screwed up
The time has come for me to face up
There's no way out but at least it's over
Don't wanna see you again don't want to hear of you
When it is over it is over
Won't speak of you again
Wish I never knew you
Thinking of your face makes me ill
It's over
Never should have trusted you
Never should have thought good of you
Many times I try to get through to you
You let me down but I let you
Don't wanna see you again don't want to hear of you
When it is over it is over
Won't speak of you again
Wish I never knew you
Thinking of your face makes me ill
There's no way out, at least it's over

Locked into the moment, things get so intense
No chance to take a second, see what you're up against
It was a simple plan, but not what you expected
You took a wrong turn and lost all perspective,
You're unaware of what went wrong

Hey hey, the clock's still ticking
Do what you do cause you're thinking of yourself
Hey, hey the clock's still ticking
Do what you do but you'll soon run out of time
Out of time,

What did you do it for?
Your wife or family?
A bright shiny car, all of which you never see
And if you had the strength, would you make a change?
It's still not too late, but time is slipping away,

Hey hey, the clock's still ticking
Do what you do cause you're thinking of yourself

out of time
Hey hey hey

Only girls allowed inside so we stood by the entrance
There was no way for us to ever get in
Saw a man wearing a Speedo his t-shirt was tucked in
From the bar, we were listening to a bad punk band

Were goin out tonight feeling alright, far from the grind just for one night
Were goin out alright on this town, spare me the truth don't let us down

By bakers blvd. It was hot outside again
A few kids were in the water so we all jumped in
Floated on the river all the locals were breaking the laws
And it was all right and we rolled up again

Were goin out tonight feeling alright, far from the grind just for one night
Were goin out alright on this town, spare me the truth don't let us down

It's just not cool to transcribe this part (go Ronnie go!)

Somewhere near central station we lost our way back home
The number 14 was coming round the bend
In the streets late at night, Tim's fire was rising high
What a riot just one night on this town

Spare me the truth, don't let us down...

I've got my walking shoes on
I'm off to the record shop
Going downtown
Want to see what can be found
I'm downtown at the record shop
Quite a scene at the record shop
I've come to find some old Chris Spedding
Maybe Rico or Otis Redding
Record Collector
Spending my money
Cause it's all mine
Making my rounds
Shopping downtown
I got my hit detector
I'm a record collector
See that girl with the Pearl Jam sweater
Makes me wish I liked Eddie Vetter
I'm a record collector
Spending my money
Cause it's all mine

Don't tell me the date,
I know it all too well
I believe the state I'm in is close to hell
I'm learning to pray, thinking deception
Maybe I'll just say “Immaculate conception??
She's late she's late, my fear I can't hide
She's late she's late, will it be alright?
She's late she's late, is there something inside her tummy?
I wish I could I find this funny
Which way is reverse on this time machine?
Should of thought first,
and used a magazine I'm changing my life,
no sex where I'm heading
I don't need a wife or a shotgun wedding

I got my lift kit I'm tanked up
Tuned into my CB
And I'm revved
Jam it in high gear
Jumping off the track
Got my baby on the bench seat
My guitar on her back
Out in the Rambler
Tearing around town
I got my eyes on you baby
Gonna shut you down
Peeling down the strip
I don't care about the cops 400 miles an hour
Never gonna stop
Here comes the man
Lookin' for a bust
They try to catch my machine
but they can eat my dust!!

The old school, is better than the new school
Our stunts, were stupider than your stunts
In the day knee pads were laughed at,
we knew how to mess ourselves up
Climb on to the roof real high and jump from the top
The old school, is better than the new school
Our stunts, were stupider than your stunts
But first remember you only get one chance
Don't break your leg... Acid Drop!
There was pogoing and freestyling back when ramps were rad
What a great ride he's gleaming the cube right on it's rad
woo-hoo Steve caballero and Tony Hawk
the elite of the bones brigade
Dwayne Peters invented pool skating for me and you
Grab your skateboard and climb real high jump off don't die
But first remember you only get one chance don't break your leg... acid drop
There I stood on the roof of my parent's garage
The wind blew through my hair as I looked down at the yard
I felt like a NASA scientist on his first day of work,
about to defy the laws of gravity
The crowd behind me said they'd give me to a count of three
and then they'd push
But they only counted to two
SK8 OR DIE (4x)

On my way from work, I'm on the 80 bus,
It's crowded as hell, someone's raising up a fuss,
Shove past an old man and take the last free spot,
I lean back in my bucket seat and check out what I've got,
Sparkle in my eye, smile on my face,
Slicked back hair, gotta keep up with the pace,
Cheap smelling perfume is drifting here and there,
I open up a window 'cause it's really hard to bear
All I need is a look in my direction,
Take another peek at a wonderful complection,
All this stress makes me suffer indigestion
Hey, won't you notice, spend a moment in reflection
You'll always find me hanging around,
Playing pool at Gert's and drinking 'till I drown,
A leisure suit, I can't get dusty,
Karaoke mic, you know my singing's rusty,
Friday night is here, and I'm on the move,
Fall down some stairs, and roll me up a dube,
Rev up the engine of my shiny Trans-am,
I guess I never realized that I'm my only fan
You'll always find me hanging around,
Playing pool at Gert's and drinking 'till I drown,
A leisure suit, I can't get dusty,
Karaoke mic, you know my singing's rusty

You sleep all day, and you sleep all night,
You're all busted up, 'cause you got in a fight,
You can't keep your job, 'cause you can't work straight,
You try to pick fights, when you show up late
You get hostile when you're loaded,
Your ability to tolerate is distorted,
can't control yourself when you drink,
Try to start fights when you forget to think
Your eyes are all red, and your nose is broke,
You think you're so cool, but you're blowing smoke,
You'll wake up tomarrow all battered and brused,
But when the night comes around, you'll be ready to cruise

I won't change, I don't want to be like you
Why would I want to be like you?
The cutouts shout their insults as I'm walking down the hall,
Turn around and tell them to 'go back to the shopping mall'
I won't change I won't change,
I want to be strange
Why would I want to be like you?
Your comments and oppinions don't mean anything to me
I like the way I do things, so don't try to change me

Everybody pay attention to what I'm gonna say
I'll tell you my story so you'll understand
What it means to be broke, dropped, and fired in one day
To wake up in the morning with the feeling that it doesn't matter anyway
Once upon a time things were going my way
Nothing ever happened that could bring me down
Thinking that the good times were always gonna stay
But it's been a long time since I've seen a sunny day
Living in the burb's, waiting for the repo man
To take away my car due to insufficiant funds
I got nowhere to go, and my wife just ran away,
With my lawyer and my credit cards, but that's ok,
They never worked anyway
Growing up I listened to my parents as they said:
'Go to school get a job, and then you've got it made'
Maybe that formula worked back in their day,
But I can tell you brother that a lot of things have changed
Looking through the window on to the driveway,
Watching for the repo man 24 hours a day,
Stepping outside, I raise my .45
Giving up the future for today
It never worked anyway, I' m wating for the repo man

My girlfriend is a lesbian
Not even bi-sexual
Am I just a thespian
Acting out Romeo?
We cruise chicks together
We dress in real fake leather
But sometimes the weather,
It gets to hot...
We can kiss like mothers
We can sleep like brothers
We can walk like lovers,
But thats as far as it goes
And so I do not hesitate
To hope one day that she turns straight
And if that day never comes,
Then make me a lesbian

I get and nervous and I shy away
When I see her dressed that way
She must have problems meeting new people
Can't talk to her without seeming lke a creep, oh
She's so much cooler than you
She's a hipster, she looks fine hep,
Just sitting here with my two coffees
She smiles at me out of pity
But she don't understand what she can't see
I guess she's to cool for me

I have been saving my money for many a year
Then you sold me out to the cable man, woah, my dear
You say you're not guilty, you say you've been telling the truth,
But I caught you kissing the other boy and lying is just more proof
Get out, get out my baby
'Cause you've been messing with the other boy
Take back your second hand records
Take back your second hand clothes
I'll send you back to your mothers
Where you won't cheat anymore
You still say you're not guilty
You still say you're telling the truth
But I caught you messing with many a boy
And lying is just more proof
Get out, get out my baby
Driving me crazy, my lying cheating baby

Accusations fly with elements of violence
You're wondering whom to blame for your digraced name
You got no reason except for one, just look at what you've done
Don't believe what they say
Deny all criticism, call it radical activism
Suggestions to trivial, solutions to simple
Relate to reality, I claim that we're all free
Don't listen to what they say
It's my decision, not based on any one point of view
I decline suggestions and the rumors
It's my decision, I'm not worried about which side will lose,
Based on odds and all confused
Dispel the llegations without any explanation
Truth is left unspoken, belief is but a token
Understand the issues, don't concede the right to choose
Don't follow what they say
It's my decision to refuse the opinions
Won't accept the standards, or the regulations
All the rules that confine won't keep me in line
Don't do what they say

Shovel the snow off the frozen lake,
I start tying on my brand new skates
Shoot the puck with Uncle Gordie
He leaves work early 'cause we love hockey
When I grow up I want to play in the NHL
On the same line with Oleg and his brother Kjell
Checking Dougie Gilmour, crack his head
Slash Theorin Fleury, hack his legs
Uncle Gordie he shoots he scores!
My friends ain't all-stars but they're ok,
Pick up teams drop the puck and play
Skate until dinner, watch the pros on TV
Screw my homework 'cause we love hockey

He's out on the town wearing black leather pants and a button down
Whistling out of tune, the girls get nervous when he enters the room
Scared to get caught in his gaze
They've read and heard about his ways
Rude, crude and deceitful
He's chasing all the girls
He's got some real bad lines:
'Hey baby, what's your sign?'
Greasy hair, cheap cigars, sittin all alone at the end of the bar
Whistling out of tune, the girls get nervous when he enters the room
Scared to get caught in his gaze
They've read and heard about his ways
Rude, crude and deceitful
Just one of those people
Well, he's hopeless, but hopeful
He's rude crude and deceitful - dirty old man

Out of control, gotta think fast
Can't let you forget the things in your past
It's nothing new, it's a travesty of justice
You're still high on the hog you untouchable pricks
The truth about you will now be revealed
Can't make them pay back, so lets make them feel,
The humiliation, degradation, loss of a job
The only way to teach these fucks Is to take it from the top
Hey, hey now, we're going to take it from the top
Shake down the brass, gonna come to a stop
Evil Jack bureaucrat looking bad under pressure
Need a way out but that's to bad

She's so hot
So god damn hot
She's dressed to say.
whoa, man!
She'll give you all she's got
So you want to be with her,
With someone so fine?
She really want a boss man
And to have a good time, with you
Oh she's a looker
She'll really knock you out
You've got to keep up with her
Or she'll run you down, look out!

Sugar coated candy colored eyes
Certainly helps to hide your disguise
But I'm going to find you
You've got it in for me
Say you're going to get me eventually
But I'm on to your plan
Cause you can't win when you don't understand
The mission is aborted
There's no use in trying
I know what you're up to and I know that you're lying
When it all comes down
It will be too late you won't find me around
Checking out what I do
Won't give any leads give you no clue
Go consult your spies
What they'll tell you will make you realize

Did you ever wonder what happened
to all the money that you went through?
Have you ever wondered what happened
when she left you all alone on the phone in your bedroom crying?
Ever written cheesy poetry,
bought teddy bears or jewelry,
said things you saw on Days Of Our Lives,
knowin' full and well that they were just lies...
(But now I realize)
I'm so happy without you, I'm so happy without you,
all my friends are happy too,
knowing that I'm happy without you
Did you ever not wanted to talk,
discuss your feelings or what you thought?
Just go out and drink with the guys,
and not have to come home to those evil eyes.
Have you ever wanted to be alone
and get a good night's sleep when you come home?
When she calls you have to pretend
that you're not laughing when you hear her crying...
(And now I realize)

Everybody now has at least one tattoo
Private school girls wearing Doctor Marten boots
A studded leather jacket won't in still fear
Marijuana clothes can be bought at Sears
Your little brother has bright green hair
Retro 70's threads will make everyone look square
My parents went on a holiday in Cambodia
All the little mods think they're the surplus army-uh
All that kid's stuff's been done before
Piss off your teachers, you're no poser
To offend your parents it has to be new
Gotta' show everyone that you're so cool
Stick a pin in your ear
Drill a hole in your nose
Connect them with a chain
Let the snot flow
Drive a stake through your lip
And a ring 'round your brow
Put a stud in your tit
More holes tomorrow
Pierce a needle through your penis
Bore a tunnel in your tongue
Never mind the redness
This is so much fun!
Look at those eco-warriors running around in birkenstocks
Winter never stops 'em, they just wear Honduran socks
Skate or die your way around town
Black death gothic fashions drag the world down
Those little rappers wear their clothes backwards
Now every single kid thinks they're a gangsta
Never wash your hair, gross, you'll have dreads
Shave it all off like Kojak, be a skinhead...

The doors is busted down
There are bugs crawling around
This is a place to live
That should be burned to the ground
In the pools a gator
My neighbor I hate her
You think that's bad you'd better watch what's in the elevator
There are holes in my walls
Smoke in the halls
Some kind of fungus is itching my balls
They just raised the rent
All my money is spent
How will I pay it
I've got to live in a fucking tent

There's pee in the elevator
Don't smell too good
There's pee in the elevator
Don't smell like it should

Been drinking all night ounding them back
I go stumbling home
There's no turning back
I got to pee bad
Can't take it anymore
It's impossible to wait 'til the 19th floor

There's pee in the elevator
Don't smell too good
There's pee in the elevator
Don't smell like it should

I had a little hamster
A little fluffy guy I lost him in the elevator
I just left him there to die!

There's pee in the elevator
Don't smell too good
There's pee in the elevator
Don't smell like it should

There's pee in the elevator
My neighbour, I hate her
There's pee in the 'vator
(...repeats till end)

I listen to your show
Who are you? Who knows?
You're way cooler than me
I'm a loser, baby
You hate the majors, buy indies
I'm a member at HMV
Saving cash for the new BLUR
You get your records for free
She was on the radio
Playing vinyl I don't own
But she had to go
Dropping names of unknowns
I'm two years behind
She wouldn't play Bjork
You're every week
Now she's gone to New York
Playing vinyl I don't own
Dropping names of unknowns
I'm two years behind
You're every week
Can I borrow some CDs?
Hang around, buy you coffee?
I'll dust off your records
I'll do your laundry

At home all alone
Get on the phone
Get a dial tone
Hey Joan, do you wanna roam?
We'll go down to the skydome
Then we'll go home
I'm the coolest guy in the whole world

Meal of meat I want it now
Curse the gopi and their sacred cow
Give me a Mac primed with beef
Or a husky flank keep your leaves
Meal of meat it's what I need
Hold the alfalfa and the poppy seed
Lay my molars into a juicy red hide
I'm going to pickle some wieners in formaldehyde
It'll make you ponder, wonder
About that nice cow over yonder
Meal of meat, thats what I want to eat
I'm going to lay my molars into a juicy red hide
I don't understand what you're telling me
About the mass destruction of some holy trees
Rain forest
I'll be damned
Just gimme some more of that char-broiled ham
So it costs more for cattle feed
Methane farts blowing in the breeze
I don't care not right now
Dining on a sturdy cow
It'll make you think about that steak by the kitchen sink
About that steak and it's starting to stink.

Why don't you tell me that you're not going to hire me,
no opportunity, no responsibility and no one to look up to me,
that's the way it's going to be,
and nothings going to change me
So I'll have to wait and see,
what the hell is next for me, with all my university,
and my 22 degrees, in the arts psychology,
not to mention pottery and ancient history
So I'll try the lottery and hope I win a lot of money,
then I'll buy the company and have you work for me.
Shithead.

I was out late last night down by the railway station
Something caught my eye a man ripped in half holding his salvation
It was plain to see that if it wasn't for me
Nobody would've cared or known that this man had no home
But all I say is how can shit be this way
One more lost so many to go while I'm going to the stupid show
Vision still haunting me it's a good thing to be so free
Don't let them get to near don't let them live around here
It's just a little bit insane
One of these days all this crap will scatter
and we will see what really matters
Moms and dads, oh you must be glad
Why can't we see that all we need is a little bit of humanity
Revolution breathes, still families living in the streets
Back down by the railway station morning comes, but I'm long gone
The man lying by the side of the road,
his toes are frozen, frozen from the cold.

This is a dance that's sure to please
And I guarnatee that you'll learn it with ease
Stop what you're doing and listen to what I say
Cause the name of the dance is the Manta Ray
The Manta Ray Dance
I know you'll love it if you give it a chance
It's so fun to do I promise you
It's so easy to learn how to dance (?)
The very first thing that you have to do
Is lift up one of your legs and put it behind you
Put your arms out to your sides and bend halfway down
And then you can wave your arms around
Well this song is almost at an end
And I hope that we can do it again
So keep on practicing the Manta Ray
And maybe it'll become popular someday!

Skah Of Iran!

Met a girl who worked at the chocolate factory
She could get chocolate
All of it for free
Got up the nerve to talk to her
And this is what she said:
Get lost you little nerd or I'll kick it in the head
(In the head?) Yeah! Kick it in the head! (In the head.)
Boy got put down
She put me in my place
Eating all this chocolate makes me break out in the face
Why oh why does it have to be this way
I wanted to be with her but all that she would say was
I gotta get away from you
Kept on bugging her
Makeing her irate
She said that if I'd shut up she'd go out on a date
Her manners, her hair, her makeup OH!
I guess I promised I lied
Ever since that night she follows me around
If she doesn't stop it soon
I'm going to leave town
Why oh why does it have to be this way?
I thought I could be with her
But all that she would say was...
