Why would anybody want to be responsible ?
When somethings wrong they say "who's responsible?"
Now that don't sound like any incentive to me
Take a poor mans dime and call it charity
Mod shop, i'll take it home for free
Mod shop, i'll take it home for free
Mod shop, i'll take it home for free
Boots with a big heel
Versace long hair fox fur in cream
Glittering long coats with gems on the rhinestones
I'll take it home for free

Been Doing Alright
03:48
|
|||
|
Been doing alright
I can't complain but I still do
Sometimes about you
But i'm doing fine
Been sleeping more
And smoking less
But I digress
Darting through the door
Doing more mistakes my way
Ignoring all the chores
Being Frank and living my way
Looking at my lover who i'm loving
Looks just like you
Saying what I mean
Saying more, saying something
Nobody knows a thing
Can't nobody tell be nothing
To many people telling me
To be what I ain't
And I can't
Be what I ain't
Been doing alright
I watched the sunrise from my bed
And then I said
It's all in my head
But i'm doing fine
Starting not to mind my mind
And all of our fights
Cause i'm doing alright
Darting through the door
Doing more mistakes my way
Ignoring all the chores
Being Frank and living my way
Looking at my lover who i'm loving
Looks just like you
Saying what I mean,
Saying more, saying something
Nobody knows a thing
Can't nobody tell be nothing
To many people telling me
To be what I ain't
And I can't
Be what I ain't
Been doing alright
Been charting high but staying unknown
Staying at home, because all that I own
Is inside my home
Darting through the door
Doing more mistakes my way
Ignoring all the chores
Being Frank and living my way
Looking at my lover who i'm loving
Looks just like you
Saying what I mean,
Saying more, saying something
Nobody knows a thing
Can't nobody tell be nothing
To many people telling me
To be what I ain't
And I can't
Be what I ain't
But i'm doing alright

In the event of your resent
How much had all of it meant
If you think of me without love
I won't share the cynicism
In between
The light of me
Feel the breeze
And think of me
It's a dream now thinking of how
Everything's in vain till we're even
You're so polite pull me in tight
Seasons only mean you're leaving
In between
The light of me
Feel the breeze
And think of me
And at the end of the day
The thorns are left in the bouquet
The water stays where it remains
Running in rivers and lakes

Dianne

Her name is Dianne and she lives in Japan
She don't need much just a place to call her own
Home is in the west but Japan is the best
So she found a space where she lives alone
Dianne has skin thats pale as bone
She looks like snow in Kokomo
Is left handed and hates the name 'Dianne'
Images stay in the air
Dianne sees them everywhere
They coat her head like paint in her hair
Her name is Dianne and she lives in Japan
Playing old KISS records all night long
No one understands that Dianne's their biggest fan
She hums the solo in every song
Dianne can't speak the language so
She sells some things over the phone
To people who she may or may not know
And Dianne couldn't really care
If she cuts off a bit of hair
She stays deadpan with scissors in her hand
Doing what she can to make the yen
Her name is Dianne and she lives in Japan
She just bought an axe with a payment loan
So she can play along when she's at home
Dianne will write a song of her own

When I Think About It
04:22
|

|
When I think about it it's hard to tell
What I ever saw in you man
Oh when I think about it
I convince myself your attitude
Will effect your health
When I think about it
I wish you were nothing
I wish you were nowhere
But your everywhere
When I think about it my face turns into red
Cause i'm embarrassed by you man
And when I think about it
My blood runs cold
Did you ever grow up or did you just get old
When I think about it
I wish I was nothing
I wish I was nowhere
I wish I wasn't anywhere at all
But i'm still stuck sitting here
Like an auctioneer selling words
And they're worth nothing at all

Between My Fingers
04:42
|

|
Trapped inside of my cocoon
And I can't describe the feeling to you
Inside of my heart
Inside of my heart
Get close to my heart
Get close to my heart
Between my fingers
Inside of my heart
Inside of my heart
Get close to my heart
Get close to my heart
Through my air I breath
And from my wind I blow
Between my fingers

"Simple hard work will make a man of you"
Oh well, well, well, well, well
The kids don't really care
And I've been waiting round without a tune
Oh well, well, well, well, well
It's all right here
Ever truly, heart unruly
I mustn't make it fair
Oh so tender, you are my pretender
Who i'll never fail
In my depress I feel the unrest
Of powers in my soul
To treat you ever as your defender
And out of my control
Selling bad art to make a dime or two
You're just a sell, sell, sell out
Selling your self doubt
If I wait around for an hour or two
I'll hear the sirens wail, wail, wail, wail, wail
Cause your paintings for sale
Ever truly, heart unruly
I mustn't make it fair
Oh so tender, you are my pretender
Who i'll never fail
In my depress I feel the unrest
Of powers in my soul
To treat you ever as your defender
And out of my control

Winterland
02:50
|

|
Winter, winter was cold
She held onto her dogs because they were someone to hold
Winter, hateful and mean
To treat her so cruelly and keep her between
Four walls that contain everything that she has
Some drawings from her mom and a coat from her dad
And everyone she's ever known
You're never alone
When you have a phone
Thinking, thinking of things
Thinking of the cows out by the trees
Thinking, thinking of when
Her nights were made better by her man and her friends
You're never alone
When you have a phone
The bitter taste of old champagne
On the battlefield again
Where a small town Joan of Arc fell for John Wayne
When the sunset filled the sky
The Duke declares it's time to ride
Thinking of the things he said
Joan spent her Christmas sad in bed
Oh winter you can be so cold
Winter you can be so cold

A Montreal princess
Living in her white dress
Think that I might just
Go on a boat to the bay, enchanté
So I can choke on your French champagne
A Montreal princess
Standing at my front steps
Did I really dream this
Oh my babe I missed your way
Oh my love one day we'll stay
Because your castle is your city
And you look beautiful in it

Contraband
03:38

Lost in the dust again
They sold you contraband with pride
Courtney became a king
Love is a strange thing to hide
Naughty little policemen
Living in the streets man
All you need for that is a fun little place to hide
Evil little factories unsatisfactory
Teachings only work to warm you up to Suicide
Taken for thrills again
Roll up the bills one more time
Held you for ransom
Oh you're so handsome misses Stien
Ganging up on psychos
Just to keep their minds closed
Selling information sure makes them feel sublime
Tell me sister Moira
Is it Paranoia?
Are your eyes closed?
Or maybe just maybe you're blind
Lost in the dust again
They sold you contraband with pride
Scratching the itch again
Ain't it a bitch feeling alive
Naughty little policemen
Living in the streets man
All you need for that is a gun and a place to hide
Evil little factories unsatisfactory
Teachings only work to warm you up to Suicide
And nothings never ever gonna be enough
Of a screw in my shoe Magoo that'll break my stride

Somthin' Bout

I've got a knot in my heart again
And livings a good place to start
Like a child I look to you
In silence and in doubt
And like a friend you'll be there
And I'll say somethin' bout
How I can't be without you
When my worlds a grey point of view
And nothing feels so kind
Like a child I look to you
In silence and in doubt
And like a friend you'll be there
And I'll say somethin' bout
How I can't be without you

Everybody's lost inside a grocery store
The price is always higher than the time before
And now it doesn't seem like that much fun to be 21
Where every rule made comes from a wrinkled grin
They clean up the streets using heroin
And they don't think it's wrong 100000 were gone in "21
Getting all their info from the evening news
They still talk about what their gonna do
But they don't do a thing because they haven't got a clue
They don't even know what to believe
So they pick something online that's easy to read
They wouldn't survive, they'd be eaten alive if they were 21
The world is being filled with nothingness
No ones ever gonna buy a house again
The old folks only laugh and say "life's a gas
When you're 21"
But they don't know a thing about the internet
And how that shit can really fuck up your head
Because I was seeing videos of people dead when I was way to young
Getting all their info from the evening news
They still talk about what their gonna do
But they don't do a thing because they haven't got a clue
They don't even know what to believe
So they pick something online that's easy to read
They wouldn't survive, they'd be eaten alive if they were 21
They wouldn't survive, they'd be eaten alive if they were 21

Sunshine State

I was born in a river baby
Born to ride the tides
Sitting in the glow of sunshine
Feel my waters rise
I was told their was energy there
In the summertime
I was born a cancer baby
I was born to die
In the sunshine state
In the hands of my own angel
Gods gift of dopamine
Heaven runs throughout my body
And kisses my blue jeans
I was born from the fruits of labour
An enemy to my eye
I was born a cancer baby
I was born to die
In the sunshine state
My head is a garden, grow crops of brown hair
The mind is a meadow, I will meet you there
In the sunshine

It Never Works
03:14

Tell now
Draw the line
Somehow
Tell them i'm coming home
And I don't want to hear that you're worse
I just want you to feel how much it hurts
And it never works
Help now
I feel fine
Out out
Tell them i'm running out
And I don't want to hear that you're worse
I just want you to feel how much it hurts
And it never works
Saturated, Ostentatious
Begging to be celebrated
Taking all they can out of me

Working comes easily
Cause I can just count to 3
It's always the same ya
It's always the same ya
It's always the same to me
Cause learning things ain't free
They say it's good practice
Then they kill you with taxes
Cause they're practicing sodomy
And thats cool for a catholic school
They're so lovely but incredibly cunty
Cause their god makes all the rules
They put thieves in the temples and schools
Getting laid off again
I'm starting to see a trend
You kill them with kindness
And you kill them with kindness
And you kill them with kindness again
Just so you don't seem rude
But it's not a plague
You know it's barely a drag
To show a little attitude
To people who make you a fool

Johnny looks in the mirror
He sees something isn't right
Johnny touches his body
And he dreams of in the night
About a different person
About another persona and life
When johnny looks in the mirror
Johnny looks at his wife
Now it's October
And Johnny loves halloween
He can be the person
The one who he's always dreamed
So johnny goes to the drug store
Steals all the makeup he hopes he likes
When johnny looks in the mirror
Johnny looks at his wife
Johnny played dress up
Wore makeup and played guitars
Now he's feeling so special
About this girl oh bless her stars
He says i'm in love
And i'm ready to start my life
When johnny looks in the mirror
Johnny looks at his wife

They're shooting down airplanes into the sea
I saw it all happen live in TV
The lifestyles of the young and the aimless
Are better than the lives of the rich and famous
My Daughter will be born in a baby boom
I hope I can buy a house with enough room
So she can grow up and she can be cool
And ask about everything we used to do
I saw you the morning after I met you
I couldn't find the courage after to text you
"I want you, I need you, I've got to see you"
I take what I want, I take cause I need to
By 2028, we're gonna be ok
By 2028, we're gonna be ok
The lifestyles of the young and the aimless
Are better than the lives of the rich and famous
They're boring, annoying, I want to destroy them
And throw all their money into the ocean
By 2028, we're gonna be ok
By 2028, we're gonna be ok
By 2028, we're gonna be ok
By 2028, we're gonna be ok
