Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where Are You?
We got some things to do now.
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, Where Are You?
We need some help from you now.
Come on Scooby-Doo, I see you
pretending you got a slipper
But you're not fooling me
'cause I can see, the way you shake and shiver.
You know we got a mystery to solve
so Scooby-Doo be ready for your act
Don't hold back!
And Scooby-Doo if you come through you’re going to have yourself a Scooby Snack!
That's a fact!

GO!

Scooby-Dooby-Doo, here are you
You're ready and you're willing
If we can count on you
Scooby-Doo, I know you’ll catch that villain
I know you’ll catch that villain
Yeah

we ain't got no place to go
so let's go to the punk rawk show
darling take me by the hand
we're gonna see a punk rawk band
there's no use in tv shows
radio or rodeos
i wanna get into the crowd
i wanna hear it played real loud
aint' got no money to pay
we'll get in anyway doesn't matter i don't care
it's feel good so we should share
we're going to the punk rawk show! oooohh!! ooohh!!

I broke everything we had
There's no fixing what went bad
So many fatal mistakes

I broke every single rule
And I don't think they've made a tool
To fix all my mistakes

When I said, "Goodbye."
It brought a tear to your eye
That was my mistake
When I told you to go
Cause I just didn't know
That was my mistake

I broke down inside my mind
I thought that I was doing fine
I was so hard on myself

I broke up everything I built
And now I'm living with the guilt
At least I still have my health

When I said, "Goodbye."
It brought a tear to your eye
That was my mistake
When I told you to go
Cause I just didn't know
That was my mistake

Time will heal, bruises fade
Life will change the plans we've made
If we face the truth and be our best
There's no need to worry about the rest

When I said, "Goodbye."
It brought a tear to your eye
That was my mistake
When I told you to go
Cause I just didn't know
That was my mistake

That was my mistake
That was my mistake

Strong words is all I can think to say to you
So much has changed and I'm not getting through
Faced with the possibility of growing old alone
And backed with a head that's made of stone

The black cloud follows me
Wherever I go
If I ignore it for another day
Then maybe it'll go away

I'm running away
I'm running away
I don't care where I go or where I stay

The question can't be answered so easily
Deep in it all we can't seem to agree
Waking up the bad taste won't leave me alone
I'm like a man out of time
A man without a home

The black cloud follows me
Wherever I go
If I ignore it for another day
Then maybe it'll go away

I'm running away
I'm running away
I don't care where I go or where I stay

It's always hard to admit
When I've been wrong all along
It's always hard to admit
I'm always wrong

The black cloud follows me
Wherever I go
If I ignore it for another day
Then maybe it'll go away

I'm running away
I'm running away
I don't care where I go
I don't care where I stay

I'm running away
I'm running away
I don't care what I do or what you say
I don't care what I do or what you say

Well he's a chick magnet if ya know what I mean.
The way the girlies just go to him, well ya should've seen.
He's got hair, he's got style and it's plain to see,
Smooth shoes and cool tattoos,hey,
Mom is sad as can be. Yeah!
He ain't got a girlfriend, no one to sing this song to.
He's gotta settle down, if he meets that special girl soon.
Knows just what to do when it comes to the girls
He writes them poetry and he picks them flowers.
Knows how to make a girl smile, how to drive a girl crazy!

i need the kind of girl that knows a girl that
likes to wear my clothes somone who always
buys me coke someone who laughs at all my
jokes that's the girl that i want to see fall in love
with me that's the girl that i long to know oh
how i love her so i'm looking for a girl who
writes me songs and talks to Jesus all day long
and the way she does her hair no one else
can compare i'll probably meet her at a show
when i look at her i'll know that she's the
perfect one for me and with her i will always
be the one for me

I remember times I had
some were happy, some were sad
memories me and my partners in crime
throwing up a thousand times
I got through it, I feel fine
I went to school and did my time
In a sense I'm out, in a sense I'm free
to be what I wanna be
Fun was cartoons Saturdays
Fun was staying up past eight
lame was tring to fit in
lame was the wrong crowd let me it
You gotta stick together
with who you are and who you know
You gotta remember
Where you've been and where you wanna go
I never did homework after school
did all the things I thought were cool
went out every Friday night
I still do and I'm alright.

When the day is done, we can have our fun
When we see the sun go down
We start our night out on the town
Bundle up it's cold
Let's hit the street we're getting old
We're wearing ourselves thin
And tomorrow night we'll do it again
We're the broken bones, whoa
We're the broken bones, whoa
We're the broken bones
BMX all night
Goosetops, rooftops, midnight flights
When you see us from the hill
Move yourself, we ride to kill
We'll ride in your town too
Cause we're a touring crew
From Seattle to L.A
Chicago to New York to Tampa Bay
We're the broken bones, whoa
We're the broken bones, whoa
We're the broken bones, whoa
We're the broken bones, whoa
We're the broken bones, whoa
We're the broken bones, whoa
We're the broken bones!!!

teenage politics

no i'm not mad but i think they forget
what it's like and how hard it is to be a teenager
this is a new day and age, we read a different book
where elvis ain't the rage and polyester ain't the look
and will we change at all when we get old?
or will we be the same? never do what were told
well that depends on you, are you doing the right thing?
it's not about control, it's about you and me and understanding
teenage politics it's too confusing
politics shmolitics it's too confusing
is it time again to disagree
about anything, everything and what's on tv
it's a vicious circle, never ending
a linear equation worldy extending
no ill never be like you ill never ever be like you
oh no! i'm just like you!

you could never put it
on a map once you're in
there's no turning back
we work together or we
don't work at all nothin
you can do will make us fall
pokinatch! punx!
he's meaningful to us but
not to you he's the one
true center of our lives
his light is shining thro-
ugh and on to you it's
your choice he'll always
be there waiting
pokinatcha! punx!

You didn't have to be so mean to me
I guess now I see how it's gonna be
I'm joining GSF, I've made up my mind
Forget this thing called love, it's a waste of time
Girls ain't no good anymore, anyway!
Not for one second have I understood
Why they do what they do, why they say what they say
Always happens to my friends, it always happens to me
It's taken me 19 years to finally see
She said "Can we just be friends?
It's just not working out."
Another broken heart that I can do without
Girls ain't no good anymore, anyway!
Not for one second have I understood
Why they do what they do, why they say what they say

Can I call you sweetheart or even baby doll?
If I had your number, you'd be getting a phone call
Can I leave you a message on your machine?
Letting you know that you're the bomb
And you blew up on me

Are you anxious to see me
After your next class?
Do you care when I tell you
Step around that broken glass?

Can I see you after you get out of school?
I won't even mind if you treat me cruel
Take a ride on my Vespa, I'll take you home
I'll climb up to your window and read you a poem

I know that you believe in the one true God above
And that's why you're waiting
For your one and only love
Do your feet hurt? Did you fall from heaven?
'Cause you've been running through
My mind all day
My mind don't mind

I don't know what to say or do
I can't eat when I'm with you
Goodnight sweetheart I gotta go
And you won't come to my next show?

i want someone to love
a girl that when i think of
will put a smile on my face
i want to hold her hand
want her to understand
there's got to be a better place

than this world cause this
is the best time of our lives
should i be thinking about that now
she turns world around
i let it happen everytime

i want a lot of things
somethings always seem to bring
all the pain back in my mind
which way to go
answers to questions i don't know
but i think that we can find
somewhere

When I meet a special girl,
She always lives somewhere else in the world.
Don't want to call her on the phone,
I want to talk to her when I'm at home.

Drop out of school and run away,
Quit your job, you've got a place to stay
Pack your bags and hitch a ride
Bremerton's a good place to reside

Move to Bremerton, we'll hang out,
Move to Bremerton 'cause you wanna,
Move to Bremerton, will you be mine?
Move to Bremerton until the end of time
I'll change the street signs you drive down
So you'll end up in my town
I'll redraw the maps all one by one
So they'll lead to Bremerton
If you cut your hair and bleach it too,
You gotta know that I'll have a crush on you.
I'm a sucker for a short haired girl with a pretty smile
She gots to have ideas, yeah, and she gots to have style

You always had some trouble with authority
And that's the way
that growing up's supposed to be.
But you can make it through.
You gotta believe.

You are your own secret weapon.
It's all up to you.
To come out swinging.
It's all up to you.

Take back the stolen years.
The truth will set you free.
Don't lay down and lie.
Shut down the fallacies.
Throw all of your fears into the sea.

(후렴반복)

So call all your cars.
And take to the streets.
Raise up your voice and sing.
You can't change the past.
Nothing will last.
Embrace what tomorrow brings.
You can't change the past.

(후렴반복)

Now that I'm awake
I'm never sleeping again
Cause I don't wanna miss the life I should be living
So break me off a piece of those candy coated good times.
I need a high
I'm serious
It's do or die

Whoa
I'm serious It's do or die
Whoa

Shut it down.
Before we're all out time.
Shut it down.
This is the end of the line.
This is the end of the line.
This is the end of the line.

Throw away your cell phone.
You can talk to yourself.
You need a real friend.
Not some digital image.
So what's it gonna be?
A chat room or your family?
Don't let the TV screen turn into your reality.

Whoa.
Turn into your reality.
Whoa.

Shut it down.
Before we're all out time.
Shut it down.
This is the end of the line.
This is the end of the line.
This is the end of the line.

I don't wanna die.
No I don't wanna die.
But I'm having trouble living.
I don't wanna die.
No I don't wanna die.
But I'm not taking what they're giving

Whoa.
Turn into your reality.
Whoa.

Shut it down.
Before we're all out time.
Shut it down.
This is the end of the line.

I have always tried to find
a little place that I could get away for a while.
And now,
I'm noticing that there's no clear frequencies.
No empty space left on the dial.

You just gotta make a little place for yourself.
You just gotta take a little time to yourself.

Here's to the life,
that we always never wanted.
And somehow we've forgotten
the road we've traveled on.
Here's to the life.

I have to know that you're ok.
And know you're here to stay.
To know this isn't a trial.
And now, I take a breath to breathe.
I turn around to leave and get away for a while.

You just gotta make a little place for yourself.
You just gotta take a little time to yourself.

Here's to the life,
that we always never wanted.
And somehow we've forgotten
the road we've traveled on.

I'm so easy to forgive.
Except the way I live.
And everything I do.
And everything I do to you.

(후렴반복)

They said we need to kick it harder.
They said, rewrite the lyrics smarter.
We can't quite smell platinum yet.

Cause everybody wants to be a big celebrity.
Everybody wants to win the lottery.
From the bottom of our hearts to the top of the charts.

They said we need to play it better.
They said, just sing like Eddie Vedder.
And bring us something we can sell.

Cause everybody wants to be a big celebrity.
Everybody wants to win the lottery.
Cause everybody wants to be like the people on TV.
Everybody wants to see the show for free.
From the bottom of our hearts to the top of the charts.

Somebody said it right when they said this life ain't easy.
Maybe tonight's the night when it all comes down and we get it right.

Cause everybody wants to be a big celebrity.
Everybody wants to win the lottery.
Cause everybody wants to be like the people on TV.
Everybody wants to see the show for free.
From the bottom of our hearts to the top of the charts.
From the bottom of our hearts to the top of the charts.
From the bottom of our hearts to the top of the charts.

You wake up in the morning, don't remember a thing
And now your face is staring back from magazines
This is everything you've ever dreamed
Rapid hearts are beating, faster breathing
Punk rawk celebrity is, oh so fleeting.

Don't push that red button, it'll blow up your face
You feel like your whole life you've been running a race
Is there anybody with you in this place?
Rapid hearts are beating, faster breathing
Punk rawk celebrity is, oh so fleeting.

Punk rawk celebrity is an oxy moron
To be a PRC, a Punk Rawk Celebrity,
Put all your best clothes, put your best make up on

You've made such a big mess, let's call it success
You've made such a big mess, let's just call it success
We all know, we all know, we all know you
We all know, we all know, we all know you
We know, it just isn't true

We all know, we all know, we all know you

This is a fight, broken bottles, bloody walls
There was a time when a fist could solve it all
But those days are gone along with many murdered lives

Hey, contention
Hey, it's killing us

This is a war, complete with a body count
This ain't the past, this ain't the future, this is now
When will we stand up and refuse to be put down?

Hey, contention
Hey, it's killing us

In a room without a window
Your head starts caving in
Your mind takes you to places
that it's never been
In a house without a hall way
There's nothing more to see
4 walls full of pick up
sticks and atrophy
Where the sun shines bright and
I don't have to lock my door
Where the moon is full and
I'm not tired anymore
Where angels carry
me along the way
Where I can close my
eyes at night and pray
Where angels sit and
watch me while I
look up to the sky
Where angels carry
me along the way
In a grave without a body
the worms lay all alone
This room is a tomb
It is my home
In a song without a meaning
Your mind starts going blank
Send in reinforcements
We need a tank
Where the sun shines bright and
I don't have to lock my door
Where the moon is full and
I'm not tired anymore
Where angels carry
me along the way
Where I can close my
eyes at night and pray
Where angels sit and
watch me while I
look up to the sky
Where angels carry
me along the way

Spread your wings around me
Take me high into the air
Free prisoners from shackes
Teach them they should not despair
In time we all will know
Our destination
Which way we will go
Where angels carry
me along the way
Where I can close my
eyes at night and pray
Where angels sit and
watch me while I
look up to the sky
Where angels carry
me along the way

Switch the light off, go to bed
There's no more room inside my head
The world around me slowly fades away
As I close my eyes and think, the shadows blot my memories
Of all the thing I've tried and failed today

Please don't go
First I need to know, if all the lies you said to me were true
And the face that I saw wasn't really you
I feel like drowning, deep down in the sea
I feel like drowning, don't bother coming after me
I feel like drowning, way down in
My false memories, I feel like drowning

With blankets wrapped around so tight
That in my dreams my hands are tied
Now I'm slow-mo running for the door
I've got no clue where it leads, but my lungs need some air to breathe
My eyelids shutter then fall to the floor

Please don't go
First I need to know, if all the lies you said to me were true
And the face that I saw wasn't really you
I feel like drowning, deep down in the sea
I feel like drowning, don't bother coming after me
I feel like drowning, way down in
My false memories, I feel like drowning

We all reach that dark and fragile destination sometimes
Looking for direction for the light to fill our eyes
Fill our eyes

Please don't go
First I need to know, if all the lies you said to me were true
And the face that I saw wasn't really you
I feel like drowning, deep down in the sea
I feel like drowning, don't bother coming after me
I feel like drowning, way down in
My false memories, I feel like drowning

He's got the cops, they're knocking down his door
He left the murder weapon lying on the floor
The sister's finally gone, now he's the only son
It was a bloody day in Bremerton

One stop, chop shop
Somebody call the cops
One stop, chop shop
Somebody call the cops

In a studio apartment, his axe wouldn't stop
So many pieces everywhere he had to mop
She should have paid him back last week for all the meth
That still small voice told him, "Axe her to death"

One stop, chop shop
Somebody call the cops
One stop, chop shop
Somebody call the cops

I hope they put this guy away until the end of time
He must be messed up in the head to have committed this sick crime
His confession to the police it painted such a gruesome scene
The apartment was more red than they have ever seen

It's so sad to see that chalky outline
B town murders happen all the time

One stop, chop shop
Somebody call the cops
One stop, chop shop
Somebody call the cops

You're old enough to know it's not your fault
You're strong enough to face your darkest conflict
Now you've woken from your nightmare, and now you're fighting back
And nothing can survive when you attack
This road to healing, hurts more than anything

Now that you're on fire, you're voice is like the wind
Now that you're on fire, let life begin again
Now that you're on fire, a new day has begun
Now that you're on fire, you are like the sun
Now that you're on fire

You've spent some time along this lonesome road
With no one waiting for you back at home
Just breaking hearts and living free and easy
Times have changed and now you're not alone
This road to healing, hurts more than anything

Now that you're on fire, you're voice is like the wind
Now that you're on fire, let life begin again
Now that you're on fire, a new day has begun
Now that you're on fire, you are like the sun
Now that you're on fire

More than anything I'd like to see
Better brighter days for you, for you and me

Now that you're on fire, you're voice is like the wind
Now that you're on fire, let life begin again
Now that you're on fire, a new day has begun
Now that you're on fire, you are like the sun
Now that you're on fire, now that you're on fire

I'm breaking through computer screens
And running in your living room
A via-tele-digi wretch like me
Chasing all my dreams into a cable
Where they beam them out into a billion homes across the see

Take to the street tonight
To live your life to do what's right
Sometimes you gotta stand and fight

Do you hear the bass so low?

I haven't had the pleasure of experience
until I me the master of the never ending promises
Cause everytime I look into the mirror
all I'm seeing is a parody and image laughing back at me

Take me out when you go
Cause I don't wanna miss the chance to be part of the show

Do you hear the bass so low?

The signal's fading fast
And I just don't know what to do
I'm waiting for a message on the radio from you
I'm waiting here for you
Waiting here for you

You got a sad, sad song.
So sing it without me.
You got a sad, sad song.
So sing it without me.

Stab out my eyes,
Cut off my ears.
Cause I don't wanna hear what you say.
And now you're blaming me for all your bad memories.
When you're the one that threw'em away.

You got a sad, sad song.
So sing it without me.
You got a sad, sad song.
So sing it without me.

Cause I don't wanna sing along.
No, I don't wanna sing your sad sad song.
You get a good thing going.
Then you turn it around.
I'm beginning to think you went nuts.
To tell you the truth, I don't really care.
Ok. I really hate your guts.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

You got a sad, sad song.
So sing it without me.
You got a sad, sad song.
So sing it without me.

Cause I don't wanna sing along.
No, I don't wanna sing your sad sad song.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

The ballast has come down, it's left me aimless and afraid
That's not how I was made, my head inside my knees
If I can't think, than I can't breathe
I just want to leave this place at last
When you live, you gotta live large
Let the world know who's in charge

There will never be a better time than now,
Never better than now, never better than now
There will never be a better time than now

Finally changed my number, keep the calls from coming in
I'm just not interested, the medicine's not working
But I'm feeling the effects from all the side effects warned on the box
When you live, you gotta live large
Let the world know who's in charge

There will never be a better time than now,
Never better than now, never better than now
There will never be a better time than now

I've left you wondering
Was there poison in the sting that pierced my heart
Cause I feel momentarily paralyzed
But I get back on the horse and correct my current course
Cause when I have run aground, yes I have let you down
Cause when I have run aground, yes I have let you down

When you talk, you gotta talk fast
Your next breath may be your last
The road's been winding down for a while

Never better than now, never better than now
There will never be a better time than now

She said 'there's nothing you can say to me that hasn't been said
There's nothing you can do to me that hasn't been done inside my head,
done inside my head'
'Well what else do you have up there that isn't tied down?
You make a lot of noise for a girl from south of town'
She's so calm, yet so confused
She don't know she's being used
She tries so hard, but it makes no difference
Cause biting the bullet is bad for business
She pretends to be so interested in current affairs
Pretends she doesn't notice when she sees so many people stare
She counted 39 steps from her door to her car
39 thousand more just to get herself out of the dark
Now she sees a spark, and now she sees a spark
She's so calm, yet so confused
She don't know she's being used
She tries so hard, but it makes no difference
Cause biting the bullet is bad for business
The pretty picture she tried to find
Were only real inside her mind
She broke a window inside her soul
It hurts more than you'll ever know
She's so calm, yet so confused
She don't know she's being used
She tries so hard, but it makes no difference
Cause biting the bullet is bad for business

Do you find pleasure in the pain?
Or something I haven't seen
You're so sad and you're a sadist
I'm not the only one to say this

You're not nothing, you're less than nothing
I trusted much too easily
You're not nothing, you're less than nothing to me
Nothing to me...

I can't believe that I believed all the lies you conceived
I just cant see how you can't see the plague that you brought on me

You're not nothing, you're less than nothing
I trusted much too easily
You're not nothing, you're less than nothing to me
Nothing to me...

Goos-fraba, Goos-fraba, I've got to calm myself down <i>[x4]</i>

You're not nothing, you're less than nothing
I trusted much too easily
You're not nothing, you're less than nothing to me
Nothing to me, nothing to me, nothing to me

The dim city light would serve as our guide
Like gypsies making off with the moonlight
It always seems to come right down to this
A heavy hitter swings, but seems to miss
You cant help hoping you'll be the next one, and you'll be winning

We're tightly wound, going round and around
We're tightly wound, going round and around
We may break on the way up or on the way down
We're all going down, going down

So face the breaks and we'll be better for it
Like an executioner on death row
It always seems to come right down to this
A heavy hitter swings, but seems to miss
You cant help hoping you'll be the next one, and you'll be winning

We're tightly wound, going round and around
We're tightly wound, going round and around
We may break on the way up or on the way down
We're all going down, going down

So don't cling to desperation
Just use your imagination
Your thoughts are what get you everything
But don't think you've got it coming

It always seems to come right down to this
A heavy hitter swings, but seems to miss
You cant help hoping you'll be the next one, and you'll be winning

We're tightly wound, going round and around
We're tightly wound, going round and around
We may break on the way up or on the way down
We're all going down, going down

Well he's a chick magnet if ya know what I mean.
The way the girlies just go to him, well ya should've seen.
He's got hair, he's got style and it's plain to see,
Smooth shoes and cool tattoos,hey,
Mom is sad as can be. Yeah!
He ain't got a girlfriend, no one to sing this song to.
He's gotta settle down, if he meets that special girl soon.
Knows just what to do when it comes to the girls
He writes them poetry and he picks them flowers.
Knows how to make a girl smile, how to drive a girl crazy!

it seems like life would be better some other
way some other day, life is what you make it
that's what some say just go away, i don't want to
hear it i'm confused i'm not amused, right now
i'm incoherent i'm not on my own still i'm alone,

i should have seen it coming i didn't want to see
i can see us breaking permanently!
I guess it's out of my hands that's exactly what i hate

there's one thing left to turn to it's not a girl and it's not the world,
when everyone has their own thing
he's into you and he loves you too. he's
what keeps me going when i'm afraid any my beds not made.
Still I haven't forgotten that they're over there and
i'm right here. i might not always be here.

Light my path show me
the way filter everything
i say try to forgive try
to forget why do i do what
i regret? my flesh nature
won't abide its ripping
me apart inside Jesus
pulls me back together
my soul will be with him
forever can't get away
from bitterness can't
seem to lose my
selfishness my faith in father
God cause i am
weak and he is strong!

i need the kind of girl that knows a girl that
likes to wear my clothes somone who always
buys me coke someone who laughs at all my
jokes that's the girl that i want to see fall in love
with me that's the girl that i long to know oh
how i love her so i'm looking for a girl who
writes me songs and talks to Jesus all day long
and the way she does her hair no one else
can compare i'll probably meet her at a show
when i look at her i'll know that she's the
perfect one for me and with her i will always
be the one for me

intimidation has put me thru what i need to
stand up to you don't protest i've made up
my mind i've got to leave it all behind i
believed so many times your deceit too
many lies my hope for you in decadence
can't replace what's torn apart it took me
such a long time to realize i was an instutution
for you go where you want to go know who
you want to know now i know that i was
lied to sometimes i see your lighter side
the part of you try to hide it's true you
still don't seem to care never a word only
a stare no one has ever known you you
don't even know yourself your best friend's
your enemy too what else can i say to you
it took me such a long time to realize i was
an instutution for you go where you want
to go know who you want to know now i know
that i was lied to

it tears me apart inside i know
think twice it tears me apart inside i know
i do it too you can run but you can't hide
deep down i find you so it seems it's no big deal
we don't think about it much a pain created a
pain that's real i've got the scars to prove it
when we tear each other down what's our
intentions? it's always more that just a joke
so let's try to think twice-so think twice! it's
true we are a brotherhood and we all know it
bonded by the son of God is how we live-so think twice!

we're all walkin' down a dusty road i
wouldn't care to bear the load i
know my limits but you won't leave
my alone it's a system unopposed
for those of us who won't say no your
time is your own now face the facts
are real establishing lines always
comes first many don't realize
the pain they cause

right now there's
nothing left for me to
say now you want me to
go away heard it one to
many times now it's
swimming in your mind
you don't know how you
should feel can't decide
if what's real is real how
does the faith come so
easily why believe in
what you can't see?
i feel so bad have i done
all i can? want to give
you more don't know
what i can have you ears
to hear what is said to you
have you eyes to see
the light that's shining on
you

i'm sorry i can't relate i
refuse to associate so
don't go balming me for
your bad hair day bad
hair day
i saw you yesterday you
told me to go away i
guess you were having a
bad hair day bad hair day
would you like an aspirin
for your bad hair day bad
hair day

i can't get to sleep at
night just thinking about
the day that you'll be
here everything's gonna
be alright when i'm
thinking about holding
you near will you look
away from me? please
don't look away from me
i'm gonna sit and
consider flowers i'm
gonna sit and think for
hours
right now the box i'm in
well it's a good box i
hope you'll open it the
way i see it in my mind is
you are here and there
you're gonna sit will you
look away from me?
please don't look away
from me
what it comes down to is
this with my
expectations did i miss
the way you felt for me
or did you ever want for
this to be?

you could never put it
on a map once you're in
there's no turning back
we work together or we
don't work at all nothin
you can do will make us fall
pokinatch! punx!
he's meaningful to us but
not to you he's the one
true center of our lives
his light is shining thro-
ugh and on to you it's
your choice he'll always
be there waiting
pokinatcha! punx!

why can't things be the
way the used to be?
why can't i feel the way; i
used to feel? back in the
days when it all worked
out was it all in my
mind? and now it won't
come out when i don't
think i'll get by when i
fell that i need to cry it
hurts me even more to
think how it was before
no you first is how it
always went the simple
things made us content
we don't need nothin'`
except and the one true
God that keeps us
together i hate time!
cause time brings
change! and change
makes me start all over
again i guess i can work
with time but does time work out

a promise from a
cardboard box so
commonly thrown on
the street how easily we
break apart but we never
seem to stay that
way there's something
inside those jars
of clay!(2cor.4:16)
outwardly we're wasting
away inside we're
renewed day by day it's
always him it's never me
he is truth why can't you
see? there's something
inside those jars of clay.

you'll never be the man
they want you to be
you've got no goals in
life it don't make since
to see someone
forgotten someone you
used to know is there a
reason no one seems to
care no one can give you
the life you get what he
said was true and i'll
never forget his son the
sacrifice now i owe him
my life give your life to
God come into his light
don't let the world own
you with it's false
analogies of what a
happy life looks like and
why you don't add up
there's no happy ending
to this impossibility so
change your mind and
give him time i'm sure
you'd agree thy gave
you heroes someone to
look up to you'll never
be like them no matter
how hard you try it's all
superficial a deceptive lie
i know you're getting
tired so stop.

another song about tv
how much tv sucks
washes your brain of
intelligence you sit
around all night and day
was life really ment to
be thin way? tv sucks!
watching your life go
down the tube and you
wonder why every day's
a re-run nothing
different happens
nothing new your life's a
show and the show is
over tv sucks! a waste of
time of a created mind
star trek's been airing far
to long can you sleep at
night without sight and
sound what ever
happened to reality? tv
sucks!

have you ever noticed
how people twist the
words that you have said
to them funny how these
things occur taking it
literally all the thins
you've said not looking
in to deep in the
meaning of what they've
read twisted words
causes ignominy twisted
words changes what
things used to be it
happens every day
without it they would i
just can't come to see
why they aren't sick of it
all on and on they twist
the things tell me will i
end words will change all
the same with the
messages you send

i ask myself the question
what is wrong with me
can't figure what it is or
why it's never me they
want when will my turn
come about and when
will justice see me why
all these stupid questions
they never help me you
never notice me you
never seem to see when
i'm walking by you never
ever say hi i don't know
nobody that i don't want
to know but i'd sure like
to know you and i'd like
to show you how the
way i am and things that
matter much to me how
i say i am i usually how
those things don't seem

who could it be it's
probably me i know
there's something wrong
it should be a big
mistake to let this go to
long maybe it's all inside
my mind with no room
left to grow and now it's
coming outside and it
just won't let me go why
does it matter where
you've been because i
cAre for you my friend i
can't read into you mind
what's been going of
inside? miscom-munica-
tion always seems to
turn around those
beneficial doubts those
smiles into frowns how
can i remember if
i never even knew you
can't pin all on
me it's also up to you

i am myself and no
one else because my eyes
see so much negativity
pressuring me every day
thy judge me as
something i'm not
there's so many lies in
this world today fears
and doubts run thru my
mind i've gone thru this
a million times i read his
word look to his face
but i could never earn
his grace it's not right to
sit at home we're the
church of today not
church of tomorrow

one way window

there's barriers in my
mind that i think about
all the time and i know
there's no way past them
i can never get away
from the things that
people say well i guess
that's just part of it all
my one way window
where i can't hide my
one way window where i
can't see the other side

dead end

choose a direction which
way you gonna go? you
chose rejection because
you didn't know what he
can do for you what he
has done for me
the purpose we've been
waiting for the purpose
that we want to see why
won't you see the signs
there's a dead end
between the lines it
looks impressive now
just wait cause you will
see all those things let
you down including you
and me there's more
than meets the eye so
much more to know
learn to think more
clearly and i know that
you'll start to grow

When I meet a special girl,
She always lives somewhere else in the world.
Don't want to call her on the phone,
I want to talk to her when I'm at home.

Drop out of school and run away,
Quit your job, you've got a place to stay
Pack your bags and hitch a ride
Bremerton's a good place to reside

Move to Bremerton, we'll hang out,
Move to Bremerton 'cause you wanna,
Move to Bremerton, will you be mine?
Move to Bremerton until the end of time
I'll change the street signs you drive down
So you'll end up in my town
I'll redraw the maps all one by one
So they'll lead to Bremerton
If you cut your hair and bleach it too,
You gotta know that I'll have a crush on you.
I'm a sucker for a short haired girl with a pretty smile
She gots to have ideas, yeah, and she gots to have style

Are you happy with your life?
You make just enough to scrape by
You pay the rent, that you just spent
Less than a week ago
You wasted all your pay and you dont
remember where it went all, now.
Tired and broke, can't pay the rent.
What can bring her so much pain?
They can't build her self-esteem.
How can this be, happening?
You might have the temporary, superficial happiness
that you buy with money you don't have.
Do you tell yourself, this is just the first time,
Maybe the last time when you chance your circumstance
Life is not a job or a career.
Living is not smoking and drinking beer
You can't play with Sarah, not today,
You may think it's yours, it's yours, it's yours to be.

No one here can say that they can see as far as I can see
it happens that you live and then it's only you and me
You think you're right in thinking this world's completely for yourself
You're thinking of the one important and only you yourself

I've fought with doubt for myself you just bring me completely down
I've fought with doubt for myself and it's right in front of me

What do you think you're doing?
What's it gonna take
It's really hard to do but it's easy to see
Help us when we fall because I hate my sin
Every time I doubt, show me again

Well he's a chick magnet if ya know what I mean.
The way the girlies just go to him, well ya should've seen.
He's got hair, he's got style and it's plain to see,
Smooth shoes and cool tattoos,hey,
Mom is sad as can be. Yeah!
He ain't got a girlfriend, no one to sing this song to.
He's gotta settle down, if he meets that special girl soon.
Knows just what to do when it comes to the girls
He writes them poetry and he picks them flowers.
Knows how to make a girl smile, how to drive a girl crazy!

Emotion, is my middle name
I lay in bed and listen to the rain
Put happy thoughts in to my head
But I find instead the hurting words you said

Why won't you believe me
When I tell you the things that I see?
And I'll still see you tomorrow, at the show

It's been a long winded, long time
I wish I'd never met you
I wish I could forget you
And what you said
You're directing your complaints to me
I should walk away, I could easily
Never hear a word you say

I'm not your robot or your slave
I won't behave, I'm not your toy
Go on go bury me with self righteousness
I confess, I'm just a boy

Can I call you sweetheart or even baby doll?
If I had your number, you'd be getting a phone call
Can I leave you a message on your machine?
Letting you know that you're the bomb
And you blew up on me

Are you anxious to see me
After your next class?
Do you care when I tell you
Step around that broken glass?

Can I see you after you get out of school?
I won't even mind if you treat me cruel
Take a ride on my Vespa, I'll take you home
I'll climb up to your window and read you a poem

I know that you believe in the one true God above
And that's why you're waiting
For your one and only love
Do your feet hurt? Did you fall from heaven?
'Cause you've been running through
My mind all day
My mind don't mind

I don't know what to say or do
I can't eat when I'm with you
Goodnight sweetheart I gotta go
And you won't come to my next show?

Never quite just knew how to get it through
The utilitarian sloganeerian minds
And its time to stand up and redefine the lines
right now

Compartmentalizing, isn't realizing
Because it's not affecting change in the real world
So get on with your life and get over mine
There's only one world and there's many different tastes

So enjoy, don't employ your state
Common goals, communicate to contemplate
The way things are and why
Don't pawn the status quo problems off on the other guy

Your a celebrity in your own world
Catch phrases only catching cobb webs
Spiritualized capital gain and wealth
Isn't the means to the end, isn't the end itself

Manifest individually
Manifest a sense of reality
Because it's non exclusive
Don't be so elusively blind
Things are never what they seem
You don't know what you'll find
Right now!

When I meet a special girl,
She always lives somewhere else in the world.
Don't want to call her on the phone,
I want to talk to her when I'm at home.

Pack your bags and hitch a ride

I'm a sucker for a short haired girl with a pretty smile
She gots to have ideas, yeah, and she gots to have style

Meeting you was just so unexpected
I guess I was scared of being rejected

Since you were so nice
I wouldn't think twice
I'd give it all away for one more day with you

If ever there was a girl to be engaged to
That amazing girl would have to be you

Before we hung out
Don't know how I lived without
Your beautiful face - like God's amazing grace

Andrea, I say your name and all I can do is
Think about the way you smiled
And kinda sorta held my hand
Went out for coffee in what must have been the smallest town in Kentucky

Andrea, we walked together
Down the dirt road by the bridge
That we sat by each other
Talked about a few things
You looked at me I looked at you
Before you know, it's time to go!

Get a clue, I'm not here for you
And I'm not like you

I'm not gonna do what you say is right
'Cause then I'll end up just like you
I'm gonna rebel, I'm gonna fight
This organized manipulation

Learn to think before you speak
And you just might make a point

I'm just an average guy, is that hard to accept?
I live a normal life I've got no regrets
Don't make me out to be something that I'm not
I never said I was anything, so don't expect me to be
Why is your problem always my emergency?
This is no court of law, you're all speculation
Sex masquerades as rock and roll
And manufactured music to save your soul
So go and do your homework
Demographics target marketing

Well he's a chick magnet if ya know what I mean.
The way the girlies just go to him, well ya should've seen.
He's got hair, he's got style and it's plain to see,
Smooth shoes and cool tattoos,hey,
Mom is sad as can be. Yeah!
He ain't got a girlfriend, no one to sing this song to.
He's gotta settle down, if he meets that special girl soon.
Knows just what to do when it comes to the girls
He writes them poetry and he picks them flowers.
Knows how to make a girl smile, how to drive a girl crazy!

It breaks my heart it makes me sad
to think of all the times we had
You made me laugh and you make me cry
And all that I can do is sigh, and wonder why
How will I get through tomorrow
If I can't make it through today?
How will I get through tomorrow,
when today is in my way?
Today is in my way
What's done is done and in the past
good things come and go so fast
You lokked up at me and said goodbye
All that I could do was sigh and wonder why
I deserve all that I get
serves me right I will admit
and today just won't go away

I should have stayed in bed today
I couldn't think of a positive thing to say
My friends all hate me now
I was selfish and realize now
I have it a little time
I thought about it a while
ask to forgive and forget
Crack a joke and a smile
It's hard to say you're sorry
when you know that you were wrong
The weight of hurting words
We often carry on
The annoying things I don't mind so much anymore
I've learned to tolerate the annoying four
I won't let the sun go down
when I've made a mistake
I'd make right what I've wronged
and give more that I take

I remember times I had
some were happy, some were sad
memories me and my partners in crime
throwing up a thousand times
I got through it, I feel fine
I went to school and did my time
In a sense I'm out, in a sense I'm free
to be what I wanna be
Fun was cartoons Saturdays
Fun was staying up past eight
lame was tring to fit in
lame was the wrong crowd let me it
You gotta stick together
with who you are and who you know
You gotta remember
Where you've been and where you wanna go
I never did homework after school
did all the things I thought were cool
went out every Friday night
I still do and I'm alright.

Did you forget whats important in you life?
Somewhat confused, everthing is going wrong
Do you regret the decisions that youve made?
I dont expect a second chance to come along
You already found the book
With all the answers to all your questions
So take a closer look
Youre in the turn land and Im the intersection
Did you forget when you wakled out of my room
To turn off the light and say goodnight
Your answers coming soon
I will admit in the end Ill be o.k.
I think it safe to say, you dont know
If were better off this way
Please dont forget how to laugh out loud
And be proud of yourself
I know youll do whats right for you

Cristalena, ya she's so cool Half the time she don't know where she's at Cristalena, she's out of control But you know, and I know where I've seen her But you know, and I know Cristalena Cristalena don't know much about that Cristalen's nice unless she's annoyed she's always happy as a littly girl Cristalena, she's in her own world Please don't go away, won't you be my friend? Cristalena, where'd you go? Cristalena happens to like boys - but not me Don't even know where you've been Cristalena, won't you stay?

Can someone tell me why I'm feeling this way?
Can someone tell me why this world is so grey?
It's never just black and white
So much went on tonight
was I wrong or was I right?
You think the whole world revolves around around your head
You are ignoring me, you haven't heard a word I've just said
Why can't I just pull myself together?
What's done is done, never say never
Always look for good in the bad
learn from the mistakes that I have had
I re and re-learn
to let it go
talk is easy
but it's so hard to show

It's all the same
same old town witha different name
That's fine by me
there's only one place that I wanna be
Southbound on I-5
and windows down and music on the stereo
I'm drivin' and I'm dreamin'
there's no place I'd rather go
Staring at white lines on the side of the road
(Playing every night with the occasional fight)
Been on the road awhile
I gotto get back to a place with style
Hang out, havin' fun
I gotta get back to the beach in the sun ..
..

I don't want to let my life fly by
Do you ever stop, stop to wonder why?
It just turns out that life aint that way
And time flies by when everything is okay

Big decisions overwhelm me

When I don't think of, think about much
And I know nothing's free
People die and we don't know why
I could use some understanding

Human contact, sign that contract
I don't want to let my life fly by
Did you ever stop to wonder why?

When you don't quite understand yourself
Ever stop to wonder wonder why?
But just know this that God is faithful
And time stands still when no one understands you
Even if you don't have faith yourself

There's nothing quite like being sure of
Whats inside your heart
It's mostly simple but not so easy
To know just where to start

Did you ever stop to wonder why?
I don't want to let my life fly by
Ever stop to wonder wonder why?
Today didn't have to be this way

Tomorrow is another day

Another day to make things right
A chance to make sense of last night
Today didn't have to be this way
Tomorrow is another day
Another day to make things right
A chance to fully live your life

I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to, you don't want to
I don't want to, I don't want to, I don't want to, you don't want to
you don't want to, you don't want to

Never quite just knew how to get it through
The utilitarian sloganeerian minds
And its time to stand up and redefine the lines
right now

Compartmentalizing, isn't realizing
Because it's not affecting change in the real world
So get on with your life and get over mine
There's only one world and there's many different tastes

Don't pawn the status quo problems off on the other guy

Your a celebrity in your own world
Catch phrases only catching cobb webs

Manifest individually
Manifest a sense of reality
Because it's non exclusive
Don't be so elusively blind
Things are never what they seem
You don't know what you'll find
Right now!

There's something crazy, something strange about
The way I'm lazy and how I go about
Giving my time and how I reason
Do all my problems have to do with how I reason?
Don't feel bad if you haven't figured out
Cause I'm not mad there's really no need to shout
There's really no way you could have estimated
That you would ever in your life be so frustrated

If you knew what was good for you
You'd lock me up and throw away the key
You don't need me no you never will
You never did as far as I can tell

Should I wake up and explain myself to you
Or should I not care and sleep the whole day thru
Finding the sense in everything
Is like going thru my head to find a diamond ring.
Living day by day is all that I can say
Something someone to believe in might be the other way
We can't know for sure until we open the door
Inherent choices, choices I can't take anymore

Well he's a chick magnet if ya know what I mean.
The way the girlies just go to him, well ya should've seen.
He's got hair, he's got style and it's plain to see,
Smooth shoes and cool tattoos,hey,
Mom is sad as can be. Yeah!
He ain't got a girlfriend, no one to sing this song to.
He's gotta settle down, if he meets that special girl soon.
Knows just what to do when it comes to the girls
He writes them poetry and he picks them flowers.
Knows how to make a girl smile, how to drive a girl crazy!

I know I'm mean but I'm real sorry
I didn't mean to make you cry
I feel so bad by then it's too late
You'er hurt, I'm mad, is this goodbye?

I've dug down far too deep now
I've dug down far I'm loosing sleep

You know it's hard you know I'm trying
To understand to do what's right
I don't like to see you crying
I don't like it when we fight

I've dug down far too deep now
I've dug down far I'm loosing

Cold and all alone
Out there on your own
Cold and all alone
Living on your own

It's about time for a party at my house
And it wouldn't be the same without you
No not at all, as I recall
You've got what I need

Bring along yourself and don't forget that smile
And plan on staying a while
Till summer turns to fall, as I recall
You've got what I need

You said you were leaving
I said you were crazy
You said that you had some things to do

I'll see you in a while
And don't forget that smile
What else could there possibly be to do?

why can't things be the
way the used to be?
why can't i feel the way; i
used to feel? back in the
days when it all worked
out was it all in my
mind? and now it won't
come out when i don't
think i'll get by when i
fell that i need to cry it
hurts me even more to
think how it was before
no you first is how it
always went the simple
things made us content
we don't need nothin'`
except and the one true
God that keeps us
together i hate time!
cause time brings
change! and change
makes me start all over
again i guess i can work
with time but does time work out

I've dwelt long on the past and I just can't take it anymore
I struggle in vain at last, I've managed to board
Up the windows and lock the door

Persist to resist, fight back
Not with a fist, with tact
Ideas in action, with passion
Passion commitment, dedication

When all is said and done, our time is spent
And we've had our fun
Have you taken the time to think about your life
And what it means to know eternity?

I've dwelt long on the past and I just can't take it anymore
I struggle in vain at last, I've managed to board
Up the windows and lock the door

You're the least of my problems, I won't give you the time
You're the least of my worries you're not worth your weight
I'll bet everything I have that you'll be there
To have what you call fun - but I don't care
Small town! small minds!
this means you!
Small town! small minds!
You don't have a clue

i ask myself the question
what is wrong with me
can't figure what it is or
why it's never me they
want when will my turn
come about and when
will justice see me why
all these stupid questions
they never help me you
never notice me you
never seem to see when
i'm walking by you never
ever say hi i don't know
nobody that i don't want
to know but i'd sure like
to know you and i'd like
to show you how the
way i am and things that
matter much to me how
i say i am i usually how
those things don't seem

Meeting you was just so unexpected
I guess I was scared of being rejected

Since you were so nice
I wouldn't think twice
I'd give it all away for one more day with you

If ever there was a girl to be engaged to
That amazing girl would have to be you

You looked at me I looked at you
Before you know, it's time to go!

I try to forgive
I try to forget

It's so hard and it hurts so bad

Come on understanding visit me for once toady
I'll be grateful, you don't even have to stay
It must be hard for you to get over to my side of town
I know there's many people like me to be found

If you come knockin' at my door
And I am not around
Foolishness came by and we're downtown
Please don't leave
Please come on in and make yourself at home
I know you're probably used to being alone

Eveyone keeps telling me you're something that you're not
But I know if I met you I'd like you a lot
What exactly does it take to bring you to my door
By the time that you arrive I won't live here no more

What can I do? There's no one here but me
And nothin' on tv
Where could you be? I really wouldn't know
Where else you might go

I know you used to be alone

Emotion, is my middle name
I lay in bed and listen to the rain
Put happy thoughts in to my head
But I find instead the hurting words you said

Why won't you believe me
When I tell you the things that I see?
And I'll still see you tomorrow, at the show

It's been a long winded, long time
I wish I'd never met you
I wish I could forget you
And what you said
You're directing your complaints to me
I should walk away, I could easily
Never hear a word you say

I'm not your robot or your slave
I won't behave, I'm not your toy
Go on go bury me with self righteousness
I confess, I'm just a boy

What's going on tonight? Is everything alright? I hope that nothing's wrong. I haven't seen you in so long. I'm away, you're here to stay and I'm away and you're ok You're here to stay and I'm away, you're here to stay and I'm ok What exactly do you do, when I'm not with you? You tell me nothing's wrong What exactly do you say, all the time that I'm away? Seems like I've been gone oh so long Nothing seems to have changed Yet the familiar things seem all so strange

we ain't got no place to go
so let's go to the punk rawk show
darling take me by the hand
we're gonna see a punk rawk band
there's no use in tv shows
radio or rodeos
i wanna get into the crowd
i wanna hear it played real loud
aint' got no money to pay
we'll get in anyway doesn't matter i don't care
it's feel good so we should share
we're going to the punk rawk show! oooohh!! ooohh!!

never learn

Why am I in love with a girl who treats me oh so badly?
Why am I in love with a girl who made me feel so sadly?
I can't get over you. Don't know what I should do.
You leave me feelin' down, then you come back around
Why am I in love with a girl who treats me oh so badly?
Why am I in love with a girl who made me feel so sadly?
I thought I was over you I still don't have a clue
why you came back this way and you got me up today
Why am I in love with a girl who treats me oh so badly?
Why am I in love with a girl who made me feel so sadly?
I guess I never learn I don't wanna learn
Guess I never learn I don't wanna learn
Why am I in love with a girl who treats me oh so badly?
Why am I in love with a girl who made me feel so sadly?
I don't know why
Don't know why
Why?

They say to me "Don't be hangin' on.
If you won't go on, Do I want to?"
Pray to see and pray to know
Provide for me won't let it go.
Life confuses me (life confuses me) can't find my way
Out of here I think I'd rather stay. (Rather stay)
I think I'd rather stay.
When do I begin to start?
Begin to let you into my heart?
Why so sad when I look at you
'Cause I'm away. I know I feel it too.
