I took her out, it was a Friday night
I wore cologne to get the feeling right
We started making out and she took off my pants
But then I turned on the TV
And that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're twenty-three
And are still more amused by TV shows
What the hell is ADD?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?
Then later on, on the drive home
I called her mom from a payphone
I said I was the cops and your husband's in jail
The state looks down on sodomy
And that's about the time that bitch hung up on me
Nobody likes you when you're twenty-three
And are still more amused by prank phone calls
What the hell is call ID?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?
And that's about the time she walked away from me
Nobody likes you when you're twenty-three
And you still act like you're in freshman year
What the hell is wrong with me?
My friends say I should act my age
What's my age again?
That's about the time she broke up with me
No one should take themselves so seriously
With many years ahead to fall in line
Why would you wish that on me?
I never wanna act my age
What's my age again?
What's my age again?
What's my age again?

I'm having trouble trying to sleep
I'm counting sheep but running out
As time ticks by, still I try
No rest for crosstops in my mind
On my own, here we go
My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry, my face is numb
Fucked up and spun out in my room
On my own, here we go
My mind is set on overdrive
The clock is laughing in my face
A crooked spine, my senses dulled
Past the point of delirium
On my own, here we go
My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry, my face is numb
Fucked up and spun out in my room
On my own, here we go

There was a place
And the name of the place escapes me
When I can't remember
It irritates me
Could be I can't remember
Could be I choose to not
Let's move the song along
And try to find the plot
There was a girl and I don't know her name either
She gave me love and I swore I'd never leave her
If I did I'd come back someday and find her
Maybe I will, I should write down a reminder
One day! One day who knows
Someday, someday I suppose
There was a verse that I was gonna write I haven't yet
But there's still a chance I might an open book
That I still want to close I'll find the time
Someday I suppose a place and time
I want to be and spend a storyline
That's happy in the end plans are made
With promises so certainly uncertain
I can't wait to set things straight
Before they close the curtain
One day! One day who knows
Someday, someday I suppose
The more I sort things out
The more it gets distorted
I sort of think I'm better off just leaving it unsorted
The more I try to change its course
The more off course it goes
Of course I'll reach my destination someday I suppose
Sort it out
Get distorted
One day who knows
Hide behind
Unreported
Someday I suppose
There was a place
And the name of the place escapes me
When I can't remember
It irritates me
Could be I can't remember
Could be I choose to not
Let's move the song along
And try to find the plot
There was a girl and I don't know her name either
She gave me love and I swore I'd never leave her
If I did, I'd come back someday and find her
Maybe I will, I should write down a reminder
One day! One day who knows
Someday, someday I suppose
The more I sort it out
The more it gets distorted
I sort of think I'm better off just leaving it unsorted
The more I try to change its course
The more off course it goes
Of course I'll reach my destination someday I suppose
Sort it out
The more I sort it out
The more it gets distorted
I sort of think I'm better off just leaving it unsorted
The more I try to change its course
The more off course it goes
Of course I'll reach my destination (someday I suppose)

I don't practice Santeria, I ain't got no crystal ball
Well, I had a million dollars but I'd, I'd spend it all
If I could find that Heina and that Sancho that she's found
Well, I'd pop a cap in Sancho and I'd slap her down
What I really want to know
Ah, baby, mm
What I really want to say
I can't define
Well it's love that I need
Oh, my soul will have to wait 'til I get back and find
Heina of my own
Daddy's gonna love one and all
I feel the break, feel the break
Feel the break and I got to live it up, oh yeah huh
Well, I swear that I, well I really want to know
Ah, baby, what I really want to say, I can't define
That love, make it go, my soul will have to
Ooh, what I really want to say, ah baby
What I really want to say, is I've got mine
And I'll make it, yes, I'm going up
Tell Sanchito that if he knows what is good for him
He best go run and hide
Daddy's got a new .45
And I won't think twice to stick that barrel straight down Sancho's throat
Believe me when I say that I got something for his punk ass
What I really want know, my baby
Ooh, what I really want to say is there's just one way back
And I'll make it, yeah, my soul will have to wait
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Fell in love with a girl
I fell in love once and almost completely
She's in love with the world
But sometimes these feelings can be so misleading
She turns and says, "Are you alright?"
I said, "I must be fine 'cause my heart's still beating"
"Come and kiss me by the riverside, yeah"
"Bobby says it's fine, he don't consider it cheating now"
Red hair with a curl
Mello-Roll for the flavor and the eyes for peepin'
Can't keep away from the girl
These two sides of my brain need to have a meeting
Can't think of anything to do, yeah
My left brain knows that all my love is fleeting
She's just looking for something new, yeah
Said it once before but it bears repeating now
Can't think of anything to do, yeah
My left brain knows that all my love is fleeting
She's just looking for something new, well
Said it once before but it bears repeating now

Taking on seven years
The holy ghost had left alone
Test my arms, kick like crazy
I've been trying way too long
Only push the way off to fight you
Now I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not sure
Getting off my chest
The story ends
I would find a way without
Tell him his eyes see too clear
I would find a way without you
Tell him his eyes see too clear
That mistake was gold
I know that without you
It's something that I could never do
That was why
Staple the eyes and
Seven dates for me to sell machines and tear on
Seven years you assured me
That I'd be fine if I complied
Only push the way off to fight you (only push the way off to fight you)
Now I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm not sure
Getting off my chest
The story ends
I would find a way without
Tell him his eyes see too clear
I would find a way without you
Tell him his eyes see too clear
That mistake was gold
And I know that without you
It's something that I could never do
That was why staple the eyes and
Seven dates for me to sell machines and tear on
Don't you say I'm to blame
Don't treat me like I ever accused you
Don't you say I'm to blame
Don't treat me like I ever accused you
Don't you say I'm to blame
Don't treat me like I ever accused you
Don't you say I'm to blame
Don't treat me like I ever accused you
Don't you say I'm to blame
Don't treat me like I ever accused you

I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rinds
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
Swallow my doubt
Turn it inside out
Find nothin' but faith in nothin'
Want to put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin 'round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you
I burn, burn like a wicker cabinet
Chalk white and oh so frail
I see our time has gotten stale
The tick tock of the clock is painful
All sane and logical
I want to tear it off the wall
I hear words in clips and phrases
I think sick like ginger ale
But my stomach turns and I exhale
I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rinds
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt
Turn it inside out
Find nothin' but faith in nothin'
Want to put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin 'round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you
SoCal is where my mind states
But it's not my state of mind
I'm not as ugly sad as you
Or am I origami
Folded up and just pretend
Demented as the motives in your head
I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rinds
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt
Turn it inside out
Find nothin' but faith in nothin'
Want to put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin 'round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you
I alone am the one you don't know you need
Take heed feed your ego
Make me blind when your eyes close
Sink when you get close, tie me to the bedpost
I alone am the one you don't know you need
You don't know you need me
But make me blind when your eyes close
Tie me to the bedpost
I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rinds
The lack thereof would leave me empty inside
Swallow my doubt
Turn it inside out
Find nothin' but faith in nothin'
Want to put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin 'round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through
Now I'm through with you
Through with you
Rendezvous then I'm through with you

In the shadows where the heads hang low
You hear the voices as the wind blows
Asking can't you see?
Reminding you to breathe
It's only time before it catches up
To you and all your broken luck
I've found a better way
To get even with my memory
In the darkness where the angels cry
Give us water, give us back our lives
Our bed's this concrete floor
And it's all we have left to live for
A day we'll never face, we're only
Second-handed, sick, and lonely
Fighting back the tears
And every urge to Van Gogh both our ears
That's it, we've had enough
Please turn that fucking radio off
Ain't nothing on the air wave in the despair we feel
In the shadows where the heads hang low
You hear the voices as the wind blows
Asking can't you see?
Reminding you to breathe
It's only time before it catches up
To you and all your broken luck
I've found a better way
To get even with my enemies
That's it, we've had enough
Please turn that fucking radio off
Ain't nothing on the air wave in the despair we feel
That said, We've had enough
Put Walk Among Us on and turn it up
Ain't nothing on the air wave in the hatred we feel
This is our biggest fear
The only tunes that we hear
Come via antenna to your car radio
Oh no, no, no
That's it, we've had enough
We've had enough
That's it, we've had enough
We've had enough

When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said, "Son, when you grow up
Would you be the savior of the broken
The beaten and the damned?"
He said, "Will you defeat them?
Your demons, and all the non-believers
The plans that they have made?"
"Because one day, I'll leave you a phantom
To lead you in the summer
To join the black parade"
When I was a young boy
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said, "Son, when you grow up
Would you be the savior of the broken
The beaten and the damned?"
Sometimes I get the feelin'
She's watchin' over me
And other times I feel like I should go
And through it all, the rise and fall
The bodies in the streets
And when you're gone, we want you all to know
We'll carry on, we'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone, believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And in my heart, I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it
A world that sends you reelin'
From decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black and take it back
Let's shout it loud and clear
Defiant to the end, we hear the call
To carry on, we'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone, believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches
On and on, we carry through the fears
Oh, ah, ha
Disappointed faces of your peers
Oh, ah, ha
Take a look at me, 'cause I could not care at all
Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Go and try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part
I won't explain or say I'm sorry
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scars
Give a cheer for all the broken
Listen here, because it's who we are
Just a man, I'm not a hero
Just a boy, who had to sing this song
Just a man, I'm not a hero
I don't care
We'll carry on, we'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone, believe me
Your memory will carry on
You'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches, oh
Do or die, you'll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Go and try, you'll never break me
We want it all, we wanna play this part (we'll carry on)
Do or die, you'll never make me (we'll carry on)
Because the world will never take my heart (we'll carry on)
Go and try, you'll never break me (we'll carry on)
We want it all, we wanna play this part (we'll carry on!)

Society, we all know there's something wrong and we know it all along
Sincerity, you may think there's no one else 'til they put you on a shelf
Society, pay your taxes stand in line help them plan for your demise
Society, crush the weak to get your share cause nobody's playing fair
And no one cares
How long you pray makes no difference today
When it's society devices how you'll pay
When finding the truth makes no difference to you
Anyway you look at it you're gonna get screwed
You lose
Society, no one here can get along cause our history's to long
Sincerity, think you're going with the flow but you never really know
Society, to all the leaders it's a game and it's making you insane
Society, data patterns are supplied proof tap back up all the lies
Hardly alive
How long you pray makes no difference today
When it's society devices how you'll pay
When finding the truth makes no difference to you
Anyway you look at it you're gonna get screwed
You lose
Society, we all know there's something wrong and we know it all along
Sincerity, you may think there's no one else 'til they put you on a shelf
Society, you can go on with the flow but you never really know
Society, pay your taxes stand in line you can vote or get a life
Society

Blind man ask me forgiveness
I won't deny myself
Disrespect you have given
Your suffering's my wealth
I feed off pain, force fed to love it
And now I swallow whole
I'll never live in the past
Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast
Burn my fist to the concrete
My fear is my strength
Power, rage unbound because
Been pounded by the streets
Cyanide blood burns down the skyline
Hatred is purity
The bullet connects at last
Let freedom ring with a shotgun blast
Scarred
Scarred
Scarred
Scarred
Scarred - Pour the salt in the wound
Scarred - Pour the salt in the wound
Scarred - Pour the salt in the wound
Unscarred

I'm the one
I've been here for you all along
I'm the one
Whose shoulder you've been cryin' on
Nice guys finish last
No one knows as good as me
We're just good friends
And you come to me for sympathy
And tell me that I'm not your type
Still you call me late at night
Every time he picks a fight
After all he's said and all he's done
I'm the one
I've been here for you all along
I'm the one
Whose shoulder you've been cryin' on
He's a total dick
That's the truth and you know I'm right
From everything you say
There's no way he'll ever do you right
You love a man who treats you wrong
You think you'll change him
But you're wrong
He'll use you, he'll say so long
After all he's said and all he's done
I'm the one
I've been here for you all along
I'm the one
Whose shoulder you've been cryin' on
I'm the one
Who wants you more than anything
You don't feel the same way
You made it clear to me
But I'll stand my ground
And maybe you'll hear what I've been sayin'
After all I've said and all I've done
I'm the one
I've been here for you all along
I'm the one
Whose shoulder you've been cryin' on

Shaking like a dog shittin' razorblades
Waking up next to nothing after dreaming of you and me
I'm waking up all alone, waking up so relieved
While you're taking your time with apologies
I'm making my plans for revenge
Red eyes on orange horizons
If Columbus was wrong, I'd drive straight off the edge
I'd drive straight off the edge
Taking your own life with boredom
I'm taking my own life with wine
It helps you to rule out the sorrow
It helps me to empty my mind
Making the most of a bad time
I'm smoking the brains from my head
Leaving the coal calling the kettle black and orange and red
This kettle is seeing red
I've got a big fat fuckin' bone to pick with you my darling
In case you haven't heard I'm sick and tired of trying
I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you
Plugged in and ready to fall
Shaking like a dog shittin' razorblades
Waking up next to nothing after dreaming of you and me
Waking up all alone, waking up so relieved
While you're taking your time with apologies
I'm planning out my revenge
Red eyes on orange horizons
If Columbus was wrong I'd drive straight off the edge
I'm seeing red
I've got a big fat fuckin' bone to pick with you my darling
In case you haven't heard, I'm sick and tired of trying
I wish you would take my radio to bathe with you
Plugged in and ready to fall
Plugged in and ready to fall
Plugged in and ready to fall
Plugged in and ready to fall

Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall, everyone stands
Another day, and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold
Speak to me
When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
Move along
So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold
Speak to me
When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong, we move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong, we move along
Along, along, along
When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do (Know you do)
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Right back what is wrong
We move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Right back what is wrong
We move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Right back what is wrong
We move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Right back what is wrong
We move along
