"Here's a story for the kids!

This old man
He come a lot
It's in your hair
And I don't care
I'm not all right
I'm not all right
It's in your hair

No, I want to wait for someone like you

This old girl
She plays tricks
It takes my sex
To get a fix
She's not all right
She's not all right
She's not all mine

No, I want to wait for someone like you
No, I want to wait for someone like you
To make my life so dynamite
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Turn this dark life into light
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Make my world so shiny bright
Ah ah ah ah ah ah

You got me burning both ways
Ima explode!

This old man
He just died
He blew his head with dynamite
He's not all right
No, he's not all right
It's dynamite!

No, I want to wait for someone like you, you
No, I want to wait for someone like you
To make my life so dynamite
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Turn this dark life into light
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Make my world so shiny bright
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Gonna make my life so dynamite
Ah ah ah ah ah ah

You got me burnin' both ways
Got me burnin' all day
Ima explode! YO!

No I want to wait for someone like you
To make my life so dynamite
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Turn this dark life into light
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
Make my world so shiny bright
Ah ah ah ah ah ah

You got me burnin' both ways
Ima explode!"

. . .


"Squeeze
Like it, like it's a disease
Keep your pants on
Keep your knowledge burning

Something takes
And something holds
And something breaks
The fucking mold!

Kids, now listen
Burning burning burning
Down the back lawns
Hey you, come on kids
Don't let yourself
Feel safe now

Something takes
And something holds
And something breaks
The fucking mold
Never trust
Who wants control
It's time to break
Breaking out of the doldrums
We're soldiers
We want to break free, break free!
Bust out of the rules
Fuck the rules, yea!
Who's gonna make me, make me!?
Breaking out of the doldrums
We're soldiers
We want to break free, break free!
Bust out of the rules
Fuck the rules, yea!
Who's gonna make me, make me!
Make me, make me!

Freeze is a disease
Yea come on, sorry, it's 1 2 now
So just fuck 'em up
'Cause you're a brilliant star
Yea, just pump 'em up
You know who you are

Something takes
And something holds
And something breaks
The fucking mold
Never trust
Who wants control
It's time to break break break break free

Breaking out of the doldrums
We're soldiers
We want to break free, break free!
Bust out of the rules
Fuck the rules yea!
Who's gonna make me, make me!
Breaking out of the doldrums
We're soldiers
We want to break free, break free!
Bust out of the rules
Fuck the rules yea!
Who's gonna make me, make me!
Make me, make me"

Uh huh

This one is good
The illusion of fun
D-R-U-G-S leave no one alive
I'm alive

Freedom of choice
Love my monkey on ice
Sittin' back in the sun
It's a wonder we're alive
I'm alive

Well the people will gauk
Thier watchin us walk
I'll give you my only love
they stand on the block
Oh will they talk
I'll give you my only love

Baby, we're aging with time
Live live live live right now
While you're alive
I'm alive

Ah
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
I'm alive

Well the people will gauk
Thier watchin us walk
I'll give you my only love
they stand on the block
Oh will they talk
I'll give you my only love

Ah
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
I'm alive

Well the people will gauk
Thier watchin us walk
I'll give you my only love
they stand on the block
Oh will they talk
I'll give you my only love
(x2)

"Big blue in a gasfield, you caught me lying
Pathetic religion of sex and crying
I nailed the door shut to leave you blind
I nailed the door shut for peace of mind

You were the best love I ever had
You hit me high, you hit me low
Time doesn't slow down for those who dream
I wake only to hear this scream

Hot and cold in the goldmine, the diamond legs
After she hit me off, I just had to beg
I nailed the door shut to leave you blind
I nailed the door shut for peace of mind

You were the best love I ever had
You hit me high, you hit me low
Time doesn't slow down for those who dream
I wake only to hear this scream

You were the best love I ever had
You hit me high, you hit me low
Time doesn't slow down for those who dream
I wake only to hear this scream

You were the best love I ever had
You hit me high, you hit me low
Time doesn't slow down for those who dream
I wake only to hear this scream

Love is the only incident
An infatuation
Is this sweet manipulation?
Well, I was frightened myself
What is love?
It's a fine inclination
A lovely retardation
What is life but a reality vacation?
Indulging operation
What is love?
The worthiest damnation
Sweet temptation
What is love?"

. . .


"A is for action
P is for paranoid, a is for anger
Out here in the void
C is for countdown
O is for over
LYPSE are for your lips smashed on mine when the world blows up

Hang hang hang on
Where do they go?
Save your souls now
Got to stay strong
Hang hang hang on
Hanging on hanging on
Til the old man bangs a gong

G is for greed
O is for order
V is for villains in the three-piece suits defining the borders
E is for empire
R is for revenue
N is for not for me but was
MENT was meant for you and me

Hang hang hang on
Where do they go?
Save your soul now
got to stay strong
Hang hang hang on
Hanging on hanging on
Til the old man bangs the gong

We don't care if we're all right
All we wanna do is fight
Who cares if we're all right?
Who cares when we can just fight?

D is for disease
E is for entropy
A is for acceptance so drop your funeral weapons
T is for time (tick tock tick tock...) and you ain't got much left
H is for heaven or hell now let's hear it for
DEATH

Beggars, poets, hustlers
Wall Street, rich boy suckers
Why, friends, you know that no side's
better in the end
We're all gonna fry together

Hang hang hang on
Where should they go?
Save your souls now
Got to stay strong
Hang hang hang on
Hanging on hanging on
Til the old man bangs

Hang hang hang on
Where do they go?
Save your souls now
Got to stay strong
Hang hang hang on
Hanging on hanging on
Til the old man bangs a gong"

Oh I can't get away
My mind's been up for days
Alright, my ghosts are chasing me
Oh God damn you make me scream

(Dirty mind) tell me it's a dream
(Dirty life) I love the filthy scene
(Dirty mind) now don't you break my heart
(Dirty life) you're tearin' me apart

Oh I ain't slept for days
Now my mind is fuckin' crazy
Alright, oh baby you mark my hide
God damn you make me cry

(Filthy) I'm comin' for you
(Fame) I want to shoot you up
(Fancy) I wanna do you
(Fortune) I wanna screw you up
(Filthy) I wanna fuck fuck fuck
(Fame) On this hot night!
(Like fancy) Raping your fancy
(Misfortune) Under the spotlight

(Dirty mind) tell me it's a dream
(Dirty life) I love the filthy scene
(Dirty mind) now don't you break my heart
(Dirty life) you're tearin' me apart

Dirtiest fancy
Dirtiest fancy
Dirty and fancy
Dirtiest fancy
Tell me it's fancy
Tell me now it's fancy

(Dirty mind) tell me it's a dream
(Dirty life) I love the filthy scene
(Dirty mind) now don't you break my heart
(Dirty life) hey you're tearin' me apart

(Dirty mind) tell me it's a dream
(Dirty life) I love the filthy scene
(Dirty mind) now don't you break my heart
(Dirty life) hey you're tearin' me apart

(Dirty mind) tell me it's a dream
(Dirty life) I love the filthy scene
(Dirty mind) now don't you break my heart
(Dirty life) hey you're tearin' me apart

. . .


life? a reaction to emptiness.
time? continues for the boogey man.
just give me one chance to feature you in sunshine
and we could both dance the offence wall away

hello, hello
losing concentration
losing motivation
losing ground
so low, so low
don't like moderation
stop the conversation
are you down?

love? a reaction to some soft skin
what about trust? i've seen it here and there
just give me some girls
be careful what you wish for
now take me out
ooh honey, let's go dancing

hello, hello
losing concentration
losing motivation
losing ground
so low, so low
don't like moderation
stop the conversation
are you down?

hello, hello
losing concentration
losing motivation
losing ground
so low, so low
don't like moderation
stop the conversation
are you down?

hello, hello
losing concentration
losing motivation
losing ground
so low, so low
don't like moderation
stop the conversation
are you down?

are you down?

don't stop wasting people's time.

"If you can find your pretty way back home
Run run run
A girl like you ought to have known
But you can't
You're my sun-starved passenger
On my twisted highway
Always looking backwards
Run run run run run

So so look at me
Go go running to be free
I'm so happy that
You're so happy for me
Oh it makes you cry
But it's my philoso-pho-fee

Well something told me to run from you
But I got that curse
Now I can't tell if I am bad
Or I am worse
But if you hold tight
We could rocket from Mars to the stars
If you'd like
We could live in the cars with the stars
If you'd like
We're plenty of things
But we're raised just to make it hurt

Oh you're my sun-starved passenger
On my twisted highway
Always looking backwards
Heaven help, if there is one

So so look at me
Go go running to be free
I'm so happy that
You're so happy for me
Oh it makes you cry
But it's my philoso-pho-fee
Oh oh it makes you cry
But it's my philoso-pho-fee
Well alright now!

If you see me coming
Girls, just start your running
Better run run run run
Now you see me coming, whoo
Just start your running
Better run run run

Run run run run
Run run
Run run run run

So so look at me
Go go running to be free
I'm so happy that
You're so happy for me
Oh it makes you cry
But it's my philoso-pho-fee
Oh oh, I hate to see you cry
It's my philoso-pho-fee-fee
Now let me set you free

If you're confused
And you're scared and got the blues
Better run run run run
Now you're confused
And if you've got the blues
Better run run run run run run run"

. . .


Twelve equals three
A line wrapped around a string
Girls in the classroom
Concentrate, boy!
A line around gravity
Spiritual individual
Corrosion and humanity
The mathematics of love
And the science of sanity

Living it up in the atmosphere
Nobodys dies if the heart is here

Kiss me goodbye
For the doctors are comin'
We all know why
Because I wasn't born
Here we go again
As time passes by here
We don't live and lie here
We're all going to die
In the end

Standing on the corner
Holes in my shirt
Girls drivin' by
Oh come here, don't flirt
'Cause she's never had a girlfriend
And I don't want one either
And I don't want the people
Knowing that I was smoking either
I've been thinking about science
In my spare time
I've been thinking about the reason
To the rhyme, heck yea

Livin' it up in the atmosphere
Nobody dies if the heart is here

Kiss me goodbye
For the doctors are comin'
We all know why
Because I wasn't born
Here we go again
As time passes by here
We don't live and lie here
We're all going to die
In the end

Kiss me goodbye
For the doctors are comin'
We all know why
Because I wasn't born
Here we go again
As time passes by here
We don't live and lie here
We're all going to die
In the end

Rock science
And people got talk talk science
And people see stars sometimes
And some people raise cadavers
But not me, I see
The sun is made of string
Lights out from the underworld
People talk about God
Are they insane?
I don't think so
I say they're maybe spreading some love
Spreading it around
And it feels good
In your skin

. . .

Goodnight!
The day is done
And death awaits
Rest your head
In wavy sun

Come, take my hand
And sing along
The key of blue
This endless song
His face worn through
But worn with pride
He saved us all
With his hot suicide

It was such a gift
We thank you
From the bottom of our hearts
Now we'll do our best
To play the parts

And he's filled with magic
Yet he is also tragic too
And this, my friends, he knew
Fates left him with no lover
Still watching from eyes of others, ooh
It makes him feel like new
Oh what are we made of
And are we the forsaken few?
Just dust from the earth
And some heavenly puke as the glue
Now when's it through?

Do you know what you are?
You tried to save the world?
Nothing is good or evil here.
We're all just happy ? Heh-heh-heh
You know where you are?
What are we...?

What are we made from?
What are we?
What are we made from?
What are we?
What are we made from?
What are we?
What are we?

And he's filled with magic
Yet he's also tragic too
And this, my friends, he knew
Fate leaves him with no lover
Still watching from eyes of others
It makes him feel like new

Oh what are we made of
And are we the forsaken few?
Just dust from the earth
And some heavenly puke as the glue
Now when's it through?

Oh what are we made of
And are we the forsaken few?
Just dust from the earth
And some heavenly puke as the glue
Now when's it through?

"Yea. Tim, me and Olli have problems. Justin has none.

Ex-girlfriends in black Jettas
Everywhere I go, there it is
When I take a stroll, there she is
When I'm out the door, what I'm looking for
Same looking car that I saw 12 seconds ago

They're so popular you can't get away
Girls drive 'em in Encino
And they drive 'em in LA
Some are different, some are older
And their bodystyle is changed
But my heart will still jump
Because to me, they look the same

Ex-girlfriends, black Jettas
Ex-girlfriends, black Jettas
Ex-girlfriends, black Jettas
Ex-girlfriends, black Jettas

I get so scared
She's so filled with hate
Can't pay attention to my new girl
(Pssh... whatever!)
Is that her license plate?
(Oh my god, he'll try and kiss you)

They're so popular you can't get away
Girls drive 'em in Encino
And they drive 'em in LA
Some are different, some are older
And their bodystyle is changed
But my heart will still jump
Because to me, they look the same

Ex-girlfriends, black Jettas
Ex-girlfriends, black Jettas
Ex-girlfriends, black Jettas
Ex-girlfriends, black Jettas

Is that her license plate? (Oh shit!)
Is that her? Check the rims. (They're coming after me.)
About to crash, I can't relax (SCREEEECH.)
Is that her? I can't tell! (Turn here! What the fuck is that?)
They all look the same. (What the fuck is that?)
They're all playing the game in black Jettas
Windows tinted, right side dented (Oh shit, heh-heh)
Last night one tried to kill me, I'm sure
I think it was her
Black Jettas on the attack
She was wearing a big straw hat
Or was it a different haircut?
Or did she get fat?
I cannot tell, they look the same
Black Jettas are driving me insane

Ex-girlfriends, black Jettas
Ex-girlfriends, black Jettas
Ex-girlfriends, black Jettas
Ex-girlfriends, black Jettas "
