Mama, Daddy
Baby Sis
Tell your cousins
All about this

Coming to you now
From the money cow
Living large in space
Take your wallet out
All the dingoes shout
"We'll eat your baby, mate"
I'm upsetting you
But I'm getting through
I'm just sick of the same old something
And you want me to stay
But I am out the door

Baking a cake

We just came to party down (hey, hey)
Killing every scene around (woo, woo)
We just came to party
Hardy, hardy, hardy, hardy

She fell down the stairs
Snakes eat baby bears
Sharks are coming now
Tearing off my flesh
Are you getting fresh?
Slapped me in the plow
We like popsicles
We have lost control
I can't run 'cause I'm in slow motion
The mechanical bulls are melting
In the snow

Flipper (ya ha ha ha)
Hooray!

We just came to party down (wee-hah!)
Killing every scene around (yeah, mon)
We just came to party
Hardy, hardy, hardy, hardy

We won't let you down
We won't let you down
Hah-ah-ah-ah
Hah-ah-ah-ah

We (we, we) just came to (just came to)
Party (we just came to) down (We just came)
We just came to party down

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ooh, ah, ooh, ah

Baking (ya ha ha ha)
A cake!

We just came to party down (aw yeah, party down)
Killing every scene around
We just came to party
Hardy, hardy, hardy, hardy, hardy, hardy

. . .


Hey, kids, it's time to use the F-word!

Fuck (fuck, fuck, fuck) living, fuck dying
Fuck laughing, fuck crying
Fuck this song, but mostly fuck you
Fuck love, hate, and friends
Fuck following trends
Fuck this song, can't wait 'til it ends

Fuck everything
But fuck you the most
Fuck everyone
But fuck you the most
With a big rusty pole
Or a splintery post
Yeah, fuck you the most
Fuck you

Fuck old school, fuck new school
Fuck not cool, fuck too cool
Fuck hip and ironically lame
Fuck giving advice
Fuck trying to be nice
Fuck you and you know who you are

Fuck everything
But fuck you the most
Fuck everyone
But fuck you the most
With a big rusty pole
Or a splintery post
Yeah, fuck you the most
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you

Fuck yeah, fuck you!
Fuck you

. . .


You say
I do everything the wrong way
Why don't I do it your way?
Then, maybe some day
I'll be just like you

But I say
I'm gonna do it my way
The I-might-fail-but-I'll-try way
Well, that's been done, but it's OK
I'll do what I wanna do

'Cause I don't want to live your dream
I don't want to live your dream

No way
I'm taking chances this time
I've gotta go and live life
And I won't let you try and take mine
I just won't let you

'Cause I don't want to live your dream
I don't want to live your dream
I won't change what I believe
I won't change what I believe

So try to hold me if you want
Try to control me if you want
You won't keep me down
I'm not your clown
I've got to find my own way now
So try to hold me if you want

I say
I'm gonna do it my way
The I-might-fail-but-I'll-try way
Well, that's been done, but it's OK
I'll do what I wanna do

'Cause I don't want to live your dream
I don't want to live your dream
I won't change what I believe
I won't change what I believe

You say
I do everything the wrong way

. . .


I couldn't do it
So I asked for helping hand
To get me through it
But I guess it wasn't in your plan

Or maybe you were
Just too busy to make time for me
I always put you first
Expected me to figure out things
But they all kept getting worse
When I think about the way you let me down
I wonder if I'm supposed to count on you
How could you ignore me?

My imaginary friend
Didn't come through in the end
So now I have to find a real one
Didn't answer when I called
Well, I guess it's just because
He was never there at all

I can't believe it
Now that I'm looking back
Why didn't I see it?
Well, I guess I didn't even ask

Why you were never
Ever in the places I would go
You never showed yourself
All those heartfelt conversations
Were with me and no one else
When I called your name
You never answered, am I insane?
If you saw my suffering
How could you ignore me?

My imaginary friend
Didn't come through in the end
So now I have to find a real one
Didn't answer when I called
Well, I guess it's just because
He was never there at all

It's not hard to let him go
I don't know why I ever loved him so

Maybe there is something wrong with me
I don't see what they see
Used to fold my hands and close my eyes
And think you were with me
Now there's something wrong
It doesn't seem to make much sense
I just feel so stupid now
How could I believe it?

My imaginary friend
Didn't come through in the end
So now I have to find a real one
Didn't answer when I called
Well, I guess it's just because
He was never there at all

My imaginary friend, whoa yeah
Now I have to find a real one
Didn't come through in the end, whoa no
'Cause he was never there at all
He was never there at all, at all, at all, at all, at all

. . .


Slow down
You've got to slow down and
Take it easy
Slow down
You've got to slow down and
Take it easy, oh yeah

Well, you've been racing around
And your blood's flowing fast
And your heart starts to pound
Yeah, you've been shaking the trees
But no answers fall out
It's just birds' nests and leaves
You told that son of a bitch
To get out of this place
Or you're punching his face
You threw the telephone down
When the bad news came
And then it stuck around

You've got to make it stop
And find a way to make that
Pressure drop, so...

Slow down
You've got to slow down and
Take it easy
Slow down
You've got to slow down and
Take it easy, oh yeah

There will be times in your life
When the roof falls in
And the bedbugs bite
Those sweet dreams you heard about
Well, you slept right through them
What's that about?
'Cause of that snake in the grass
Well, you never had
Such a pain in the ass
Yeah, you tried speaking your mind
But they had you convinced
That it's empty inside

You've got to make it stop
And find a way to make that
Pressure drop, so...

Slow down
You've got to slow down and
Take it easy
Slow down
You've got to slow down and
Take it easy, oh yeah

You've got to make it stop
And find a way to make that
Pressure drop, so...

Slow down
You've got to slow down and
Take it easy
Slow down
You've got to slow down and
Take it easy, so...

Slow down
You've got to slow down and
Take it easy
Slow down
You've got to slow down and
Take it easy, oh yeah

Take it easy, oh yeah (slow down)
Take it easy, oh yeah
Take it easy, oh yeah
Take it easy, oh yeah
Slow down, you got to go and slow it down
Take it easy, oh yeah (Oh, oh)
Take it easy, oh yeah
Slow down, oh
Take it easy, oh yeah
You gotta go and slow
You gotta go and slow it down
Take it easy, oh yeah (take it easy)
Take it easy, oh yeah
Take it easy, oh yeah (oh)
Take it easy, oh yeah (slow down)
Take it easy, oh yeah (got to slow down)
Take it easy, oh yeah
Slow down, you got to slow down
Take it easy, oh yeah (Yeah, take it)
Take it easy, oh yeah (Take it easy, yeah)
Take it easy, oh yeah
Take it easy, oh yeah (in the morning)
Take it easy, oh yeah (in the evening)
Take it easy, oh yeah...

(It's gonna fade out long before that)

When did you quit pulling all of the stops for me?
And when did your 110% become under fifty?
There you are, phoning it in
Going through the motions with an artificial grin
You say that you're getting better
You say that you're getting better

You say you're becoming a better person
One that isn't so lame
You say you're becoming a better person
But I still feel the same

It's the new, it's the new
New version of you
It's the new, it's the new
New version of you
It's the new, it's the new
New version of you
If there's one thing I'd like to do
It's kill the new version of you

When did you start wearing all of those clothes to be cool? (Nice outfit.)
And when did you start using all of that slang? I can't understand you (For shizzle!)
I bet you'd forget to say "I love you"
If the teleprompter hadn't told you
You say that you're getting better
You say that you're getting better

You say you're becoming a better person
One that isn't so lame
You say you're becoming a better person
But I still feel the same

It's the new, it's the new
New version of you
It's the new, it's the new
New version of you
It's the new, it's the new
New version of you
If there's one thing I'd like to do
It's kill the new version of you

Who are you?
I don't know now
You got me wondering, I wonder how
You got to be so different now

You say you're becoming a better person
One that isn't so lame
You say you're becoming a better person
But I still feel the same
I still feel the same!

It's the new, it's the new
New version of you
It's the new, it's the new
New version of you
It's the new, it's the new
New version of you
If there's one thing I'd like to do
It's kill the new version of you

It's the new, it's the new
New version of you
It's the new, it's the new
New version of you
It's the new, it's the new
New version of you
If there's one thing I'd like to do
It's kill the new version of you

. . .


Will the revolution come?
Well, that's what they all say
Will the revolution come?
Well, then that will be the day
Will the revolution come?
Then put your fist in the air
Will the revolution come?
You better get out of your chair

Because we won't wise up
So how can we rise up?
Tired of being enslaved
Will the revolution come?
Will anything change?

Will the revolution come?
Well, I've heard that before
Will the revolution come?
Well, I'll try not to act too bored
Because each generation's mess is bigger
Than the one before them has made
Will the revolution come?
Can we be saved?

Because we won't wise up
So how can we rise up?
Tired of being enslaved
Will the revolution come?
Will anything change?

Will the revolution come?
You better not run and hide
Will the revolution come?
You've gotta stand, for our side
Because the only prison is in our minds
The only chains are our apathy
Will the revolution come?
Just wait and see

. . .


She calls out to the man on the street
"Sir, can you help me?
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep
Is there somewhere you can tell me?"
He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there

Oh, think twice
'Cause its another day for you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice
'Cause it's another day for you
You and me in paradise

Just think about it
Think about it
Just think about it

She calls out to the man on the street
He can see shes been crying
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
She can't walk but she's trying

Oh, think twice
'Cause its another day for you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice
'Cause it's another day for you
You and me in paradise

Oh Lord
Is there nothing more anybody else can do?
Oh Lord
There must be something you can say

You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that shes been there
Probably been moved out from every place
'Cause she didn't fit in there

Oh, think twice
'Cause its another day for you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice
'Cause it's another day for you
You and me in para—

Oh, think twice
'Cause its another day for you and me in paradise
Oh, think twice
'Cause it's another day for you
You and me in para-paradise

Think about it
Just think about it
Think about it
Just think about it

Everybody's drunk
Everybody's drunk tonight
Everybody's drunk
Everybody's drunk tonight
Everybody's drunk
Everybody's drunk in here

Tonight's the night we're gonna get plastered
Pissed off, maybe we'll get laid, too
Booze on your breath always makes girls horny
So come on, boys, let's chug a few

Everybody's drunk
Everybody's drunk tonight
Everybody's drunk
Everybody's drunk, oh yeah

People pouring in the front door
Most of them I've never seen in my life
I hear the sound of windows breaking
Who just lit the couch on fire?

Everybody's drunk
Everybody's drunk tonight
Everybody's drunk
Everybody's drunk tonight

And if you're coming here
Don't forget to have yourself a beer

There's two girls throwing up in the bathroom
A good friend holds your hair back when you puke
Tonight's the night, so grab your whatever
Lift your something, here's a toast to you

We're all gonna get drunk
Oh, we're all gonna get drunk
Oh, wait, we're already drunk

Everybody's drunk
Everybody's drunk tonight
Everybody's drunk
Everybody's drunk, whoa

La la la la la la la
Uh, actually, I'm not drunk. At all.
La la la la la la la
No, I've got to drive all these people home.
La la la la la la la
Have a good time.
La la la!
...assholes.

Hey, man, be careful.
Brush my shoes off.
Hey, I don't feel so good.
Use the trash can!
There is no trash can!

. . .


Please don't tell her I have a girlfriend
Please don't tell her I have a girlfriend
'Cause it's so hard, can't even pretend
That I only want to be her friend

Well, I don't deserve it
You know that it's true
But she said that she would
And you know I would too
Oh oh, what am I gonna do?

Please don't tell her I have a girlfriend
Please don't tell her I have a girlfriend
'Cause it's so hard, can't even pretend
That I only want to be her friend

Well, I know that actions
Speak louder than words
And thinking is bad
But doing's much worse
Oh oh, but I'm so perverse

Please don't tell her I have a girlfriend
Please don't tell her I have a girlfriend
'Cause it's so hard, can't even pretend
That I only want to be her friend

Well, I know I can keep a secret
I know I can keep a secret
Can you keep my secret?

Oh, please don't tell her
That I have a girlfriend
'Cause it's so hard I can't even pretend

Please don't tell her I have a girlfriend
Please don't tell her I have a girlfriend
'Cause it's so hard, can't even pretend
That I only want to be her friend

. . .


Going back to the way
Going back to the way that it used to be
When things were much better
Going back to the way
Going back to the way that it used to be
When we were together

It's been so hard for me
To take all the things that come my way
It's been so hard but now I say
We are...

Going back to the way
Going back to the way that it used to be
When things were much better
Going back to the way
Going back to the way that it used to be
When we were together

Going back to the way
Going back to the way that it used to be
When things were much better
Going back to the way
Going back to the way that it used to be
When we were together

I've been alone too long
There's no one else I'd rather see
Nothing's more right than you and me
So we're...

Going back to the way
Going back to the way that it used to be
When things were much better
Going back to the way
Going back to the way that it used to be
When we were together

Going back to the way
Going back to the way that it used to be
When things were much better
Going back to the way
Going back to the way that it used to be
When we were together

Ah ha ha

. . .


(1, 2, 3, GO!)

Hey now everybody
Look who's on TV
Look who just got famous
Don't you know
It
Should have been
(Me)
I'm not really bitter
I'm not really mad
I love to see other people get
Everything I ever
Wanted to have
I don't really care
How big they get

I hate you
Fuck you
Leave me alone
I hate you
Fuck you
Leave me alone
I hate you
Fuck you
Leave me alone
I hate you
Fuck you
Leave me alone
Why cant I be cool like them?

I used to have a girlfriend
I treated her so bad
She went out and
found another lead singer
Maybe she just likes guys in bands
I give up on everything
All my dreams are dead
Maybe I'll get a shotgun and
Try to blow her right out of my head
Everybody says
"How come you ain't made it yet?"

I hate you
Fuck you
Leave me alone
I hate you
Fuck you
Leave me alone
I hate you
Fuck you
Leave me alone
I hate you
Fuck you
Leave me alone
Why can't I get my girl back?

I knew you wouldn't understand
(No, no no)
Just what I'm tryin' to do
(No, no no)
Cause you're not fuckin' me
And I'm so glad
That I'm not fuckin'
You

I know it's my problem
There's nothing I can do
But I don't think there is no reason
I don't think there's no excuse for you
Well I've learned my lesson
I hope you've learned it too
And if they're gonna go and do it to me, well
I guess I'm gonna have to go and do it to you
I don't really care, how much you cry

I hate you
Fuck you
Leave me alone
I hate you
Fuck you
Leave me alone
I hate you
Fuck you
Leave me alone
I hate you
Fuck you
Leave me alone
Why can't anything go my way?

. . .


Got the telephone in my hand
gonna call you up tonight
Planned every word I'll say
I'm gonna do it right.

Maybe I'll wait a little longer
maybe I'm not ready yet
Where did I put that number?
How could I ever, ever forget?

I try but I hang up, every time
to call you girl and make you mine
If you pick it up I'll have it made
I'm gonna call you now,
I wont be afraid

Got the telephone in my hand
cord around my neck.
But I'm not really ready to die, maybe I'll give it one more try
or maybe I'll call tomorrow, she probably wont be home
maybe I like sitting here
maybe I like being all alone...

Everything will be all right
I won't see you tonight
everything will be all right
I know it's not the end of the world, it's just another... little girl

I try but I hang up every time
to call you girl and make you mine
can't leave a message
don't know what to say, I don't wanna talk to you anyway.

. . .


There's a little girl on my mind
Little girl all the time
Little girl there's always one
Little girl look what shes done

She drank the tear from my eye
You know I sure hate to lie
Why can't you stay here
You know it's so beautiful
Man how come all girls think there fat?

Hey hey hey she's so pretty
Heh hey hey my friend
Hey hey hey I feel stupid again

She said "It's all right"
She said "Come over tonight"
She said "My mom's not home"
She said "I'm all alone!"
She took me back to her house
She pushed me down on the couch
She said "Now it's all right, were gonna be good friends
Cause that kissin' only leads to the end"

Hey hey hey she's so pretty
Hey hey hey my friend
Hey hey hey I feel stupid again

Hey hey hey she's so pretty
Hey hey hey my friend
Hey hey hey I feel stupid again

Hey hey hey she's so pretty
Hey hey hey my friend
Hey hey hey I feel stupid.

. . .


Let me put my finger in your nose
Whoa, its not funny, no no no no
I can you you lookin' down her shirt
I can see you liftin' up her skirt
Only gonna tell you once, only gonna tell you once

You better stay away from my girlfriend
You better stay away from her
I'm just givin' warning so you get no broken bones
You better leave my girl alone

Well, I bet you can understand what i say
Whoa, I'm really just playin'
I can see you lookin' down her shirt
I can see you liftin' up her skirt
Only gonna tell you twice, ask you really really nice

You better stay away from my girlfriend
You better stay away from her
I'm just givin' warning so you get no broken bones
You better leave my girl alone

Let me break your neck and crush your skull
Whoa, you never listen, no no no no
I can see you lookin' down her shirt
I can see you liftin' up her skirt
I've seen too much of you
I can't take much more of this

You better stay away from my girlfriend
You better stay away from her
I'm just givin' warning so you get no broken bones
You better leave my girl alone

. . .


Check, check, check
Hey, hey

The sky is falling
It's alright, it's alright
I'll be fine
Now I'm falling
It's alright, it's alright
Gonna look like I'm flying

Well, they're screaming at my windows
They've got axes in their hands
They're chopping down the back door
Of my one-roomed promise land
They're begging me to save the world
They're kneeling at my feet
I'll tell them that the Antichrist
Lives just across the street

The sky is falling
It's alright, it's alright
I'll be fine
Now I'm falling
It's alright, it's alright
Gonna look like I'm flying

Well, my heart, it is an open sore
That never seemed to dry
And a thousand roses got me bloody fingers
And I'm wishing I could cry
She only stops that laughing
Long enough to dry a tear
I'm wishing I was someplace else
But I found I'm always here

The sky is falling
It's alright, it's alright
I'll be fine
Now I'm falling
It's alright, it's alright
Gonna look like I'm flying

The sky is falling
It's alright, it's alright
I'll be fine
Now I'm falling
It's alright, it's alright
Gonna look like I'm flying

Well, I've got no time to argue
And I've got no time to spare
The world is burning down tonight
And she don't really care
I would give her everything
But I tell you, it's a shame
'Cause she is all I think about
And I just forgot her name

The sky is falling
It's alright, it's alright
I'll be fine
Now I'm falling
It's alright, it's alright
Gonna look like I'm flying
'Til I hit the ground

Ooh yeah
Oi! Oi! Oi!

. . .


Ohh, whoa

I've got the brains
You're the body
And you're in my sights

I've got a new set of problems
How to get you alone tonight
My head keeps revolving
I work so hard just to get a bite

Cannibal
Cannibal
Cannibal, cannibal
Cannibal, cannibal
Cannibal

Back to the game
To the subject
Sustenance is at stake

There's no accounting for taste
You've got yours, I'll get mine
I'll love you in my own way
And everything will be just fine

Cannibal
Cannibal
Cannibal, cannibal
Cannibal, cannibal
Cannibal

You've got a new set of problems
It's not your fault this time
Don't take this personally

Cannibal
Cannibal
Cannibal
Cannibal

Cannibal
Cannibal, cannibal, cannibal, cannibal
Cannibal, cannibal
Cannibal
Cannibal
