Dookie Lyrics


Burnout

I declare I don't care no more

I'm burning up and out and growing BORED

In my smoked out BORING room

My hair is shagging in my eyes

Dragging my feet to hit the street tonight

To drive along these shit town lights



I'm not growing up

I'm just burning out

And I stepped in line 

to walk amongst the DEAD



A pathy has rained on me

Now I'm feeling like a soggy dream

So close to drowning but I DON'T MIND

I've lived inside this mental cave

Throw my emotions in the grave

HELL,who needs them anyway



I'm not growing up

I'm just burning out

And I stepped in line

to walk amongst the DEAD



(Repeat many times)

Having A Blast

I'm taking all you down with me

Explosives duct taped to my spine

Nothings gonna change my mind



I won't listen to anyone's last words

There's nothing left for you to say

Soon you'll be dead anyway



No one here is getting out alive

This time I've really lost my mind and I don't care

So close your eyes

And kiss yourself goodbye

And think about the times you spent and what they've ment

To me its nothing...



I'm losing all my happiness

The happiness YOU pinned on me

Loneliness still comforts me



My anger DWELLS inside of me

I'm taking it all out on you 

And all the shit you put me through



No one here is getting out alive

This time I've really lost my mind and I don't care

So close your eyes

And kiss yourself goodbye

And think about the times you spent and what they've ment

To me its nothing...



Do you ever thing back to another time?

Does it bring you so down that you thought you lost you're mind?

Do you ever want to lead a long trail of destruction

and mow down any BULLSHIT that comfronts you?

Do you ever build up all the small things in your head?

To make one problem that adds up to NOTHING

To me its nothing...

Chump

I don't know you

But,I think I HATE you

You're the reason for my misery

Strange how you've become 

 my biggest enemy

And I've never even seen your face



Maybe it's just jealousy

Mixing up with a VIOLENT mind

A circumstance that doesn't make much SENSE

Or maybe I'm just DUMB



You're the cloud hanging out over my head

Hail comes crashing down

 welting my face

MAGIC MAN,EGOCENTRIC PLASTIC MAN

Yet you still get one over on me



Maybe it's just jealousy

Mixing up with a VIOLENT mind

A circumstance that doesn't make much SENSE

Or maybe I'm just DUMB

Longview

Sit around and watch the tube,but nothing's on

Change the channels for an hour or two

Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit

I'm sick of all the same old shit

In a house with unlocked doors

And I'm fucking lazy



Bite my lip and close my eyes

Take me away to paradise

I'm so damn bored I'm going BLIND!!!

And I smell like shit



Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving

I sure as hell can't do it by myself

I'm feeling like a DOG IN HEAT

Barred indoors from the summer street

I locked the door to MY OWN CELL

And I lost the key



Bite my lip and close my eyes

Take me away to paradise

I'm so damn bored I'm going BLIND!!!

And I smell like shit



I GOT NO MOTIVATION

WHERE IS MY MOTIVATION

NO TIME FOR THE MOTIVATION

SMOKING MY INSPIRATION



Sit around and watch the phone,but no one's calling

Call me pathetic,call me WHAT YOU WILL

My mother says to get a job

But she don't like the one SHE'S got

When mastur bation's lost its fun

You're fucking lazy



Bite my lip and close my eyes

Take me away to paradise

I'm so damn BORED

I'm going blind

And loneliness has to suffice

Bite my lip and close my eyes

I was slipping away to paradise

Some say,"Quit or I'll go BLIND."

But it's just a myth

Welcome To Paradise

Dear mother,

Can you hear me whining?

It's been three whole weeks

Since that I have left your home

This sudden fear has left me trembling

Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own

And I'm feeling so alone



Pay attention to the cracked streets

And the broken homes

Some call it the slums

Some call it nice

I want to take you through 

 a wasteland I like to call 

 my home

Welcome To Paradise



A gunshot rings out at the station

Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own

It makes me wonder why I'm still here

For some strange reason it's now

Feeling like my home 

And I'm never gonna go



Pay attention to the cracked streets

And the broken homes

Some call it slums

Some call it nice

I want to take you through 

 a wasteland I like to call 

 my home

Welcome To Paradise



Dear mother,

Can you hear me laughing

It's been six whole months since 

Since that I have left your home

It makes me wonder why I'm still here

For some strange reason it's now

Feeling like my home 

And I'm never gonna go



Pay attention to the cracked streets

And the broken homes

Some call it the slums

Some call it nice

I want to take you through 

 a wasteland I like to call 

 my home

Welcome To Paradise

Pulling Teeth

I'm all busted up

Broken bones and nasty cuts

ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN

But this time I can't get up

She comes to check on me

MAKING sure I'm on my knees

After all she's the one

Who put me in this STATE



Is she ULTRA-VIOLENT?

Is she DISTURBED?

I better tell her that I LOVE her

Before she does it all over again

OH GOD,SHE'S KILLING ME!!!



For now I'll lie around

HELL, that's all I can really do

She takes good care of me

Just keep saying my LOVE is TRUE



Is she ULTRA-VIOLENT?

Is she DISTURBED?

I better tell her that I LOVE her

Before she does it all over again

OH GOD,SHE'S KILLING ME!!!



Looking out my window for

Someone that's passing by

No one knows I'm LOCKED in here

All I do is cry



For now I'll lie around

HELL, that's all I can really do

She takes good care of me

Just keep saying my LOVE is TRUE

Basket Case

Do you have the time 

 to listen to me whine

About NOTHING and EVERYTHING

 all at once

I am one of those

Melodramatic fools

Neurotic to the bone

No doubt about it



Sometimes I give myself the CREEPS

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

It all keeps adding up

I think I'm CRACKING UP

Am I just PARANOID?

Or am I just STONED



I went to a shrink

To analyze my dreams

SHE says it's lack of sex

 that's bringing me down

I went to a whore

HE said my life's a bore

So quit my whining cause

 it's bringing HER down



Sometimes I give myself the CREEPS

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

It all keeps adding up

I think I'm CRACKING UP

Am I just PARANOID?

Uh,yuh,yuh,ya



Grasping to CONTROL

So I BETTER hold on



Sometimes I give myself the CREEPS

Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me

It all keeps adding up

I think I'm CRACKING UP

Am I just PARANOID?

Or am I just STONED

She

She...

She screams in silence

A sullen riot penetrating through her mind

We...

Wait for a sign

To smash the silence with the brick of self-control



Are you locked up in a world

Thats been planned out for you?

Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?



Scream at me until my ears bleed

I'm taking heed just for you



She...

She's figured out

All her doubts were someone else's point of view

We...

Walking up this time

To smash the silence with the brick of self-control



Are you locked up in a world

Thats been planned out for you?

Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?



Scream at me until my ears bleed

I'm taking heed just for you



EHHHHHH,AHHHHHHHHHH!!!



Are you locked up in a world

Thats been planned out for you?

Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?



Scream at me until my ears bleed

I'm taking heed just for you

Sassafras Roots

Roaming 'round your house

WASTING YOUR TIME

No obligation,just

WASTING YOUR TIME

So why are you alone?

WASTING YOUR TIME

When you could be with me

WASTING YOUR TIME



Well,I'm a WASTE like you

With nothing else to do

May I WASTE your time too?



Warding off regrets

WASTING YOUR TIME

Smoking cigarettes

WASTING YOUR TIME

I'm just a PARASITE

WASTING YOUR TIME

APPLYING myself to

WASTING YOUR TIME



Well,I'm a WASTE like you

With nothing else to do

May I WASTE your time too?



So why are you alone?

WASTING YOUR TIME

When you could be with me

WASTING YOUR TIME



Well,I'm a WASTE like you

With nothing else to do

May I WASTE your time too?




When I Come Around

I heard you crying loud, 

  all the way across town

You've been searching for that someone,

  and it's me out on the prowl

As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself

Don't get lonely now

Dry your whining eyes

I'm just roaming for the moment

Sleazin' my back yard so don't get so uptight

  you been thinking about ditching me



No time to search the world around

Cause you know where I'll be found

When I come around



I heard it all before

So don't knock down my door

I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser

  to try and slag me down because I know I'm right

So go do what you like

Make sure you do it wise

You may find out that your selfdoubt means nothing

  was ever there



You can't go forcing something if it's just 

  not right



No time to search the world around

Cause you know where I'll be found

When I come around                      

When I come around                      

Coming Clean

Seventeen and strung out on confusion

Trapped inside a roll of disillusion

I found out what it takes to be a man

Well,Mom and Dad will never understand



Secrets collecting dust but never forget

SKELETONS come to LIFE in my closet



I found out what it takes to be a man

Well,Mom and Dad will never understand

WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME



Seventeen and COMING CLEAN for the first time

I finally figured out myself for the first time

I found out what it takes to be a man

Mom and Dad will never understand

WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME

Emenius Sleepus

I saw my friend the other day and I don't know

Exactly just what he became

It goes to show

It wasn't long ago

I was just like you

And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home



How have I been,how have you been

It's been so long

What have you done with all your time

And what went wrong



I knew you back when

And you ... you knew me

And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home



Anybody ever say no?

Ever tell you that you weren't right?

Where did all the little kid go?

Did you lose it in a hateful fight?

And you know it's true



It wasn't long ago

I was just like you

And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home

In the End

All brawn and no brains 

And all those nice things

You FINALLY got what you want

Someone to look good with

AND light your cigarette

Is this what you really want?



I figured out what you're all about

And I don't think I like what I see

SOOOOO ...

I HOPE I won't be there in the end 

  if you come around.



How long will he last

Before he's a CREEP in the past

And you're alone once again?

Will you pop up AGAIN and be my

  "SPECIAL FRIEND" 'till the end?

And when will that be?



I figured out what you're all about

And I don't think I like what I see

SOOOOO ...

I HOPE I won't be there in the end

  if you come around.



I figured out what you're all about

And I don't think I like what I see

SOOOOO ...

I HOPE I won't be there in the end

  if you come around.

F.O.D.

Something's on my mind

It's been for quite some time

This time I'm on to you

So where's the other face?

The face I heard before

Your head trip's boring me



Let's nuke the bridge we torched 

2,000 times before

This time we'll blast it all to hell

I've had this burning in my guts now

  for so long

My belly's aching now to say



Stuck down in a rut of dislogic and smut

A side of you well hid

When it's all said and done

  it's real and it's been fun

But was it all REAL fun 



Let's nuke the bridge we torched

2,000 times before

This time we'll blast it all to hell

I've felt this burning in my guts now

  for so long

My belly's aching now to say



to say...



You're just... a fuck, 

I can't explain it 'cause I think you suck.

I'm take-

-in pride

in telling you to fuck off and die.



I've had this burning in my guts now

  for so long

My belly's aching now to say

I'm taking pleasure in the doubts

  I've passed to you

So listen up as you bite thisssss...



You're just... a fuck, 

I can't explain it 'cause I think you suck.

I'm take-

-in pride

in telling you to fuck off and die.



Goood niiiiiiiiight....




All By Myself

I was alone,I was all by myself

No one was looking, I was thinking of you

Oh yeah, did I mention I was all by myself

All by myself...

All by myself...

All by myself...                



I went to your house,but no one was there

I went to your room

I was all by myself

You and me had

Such wonderful times

When I'm all by myself, 

All by myself

(repeat several times)
