Jalapeno
1) Nothing -
Struck bad luck again.
I'm down and out
and I'm about to pay
for my sins.
the enemy is here,
coming in clear.
The bridges are burning.
Gotta get our of here.
So easy once you see me
how it's all coming to pass.
The sky is coming down,
and the ground is falling fast.
I said it once before
don't want to say it again.
Just pat and slap me
on the back
and call me your friend.
T.V. makes my eyes bleed.
The people on the screen
are jumping after me.
I left the light on,
it won't be long,
but it's gonna be impossible
to sing another song.
Do you see me as a freebie,
just another boy with a mouth?
the mullets are rampant
taking over the south.
In the middle of the night,
the gothics come out.
The world's coming to an end
so play it real loud.
We couldn't stop the difference.
It could have been all right.
When the day came to pass,
the morning made me high.
Broken the pact again.
All the momos and the mullets
are coming for me.
Look over my shoulder
and no one's behind.
I'm the last in line to all mankind.
2) Don't Look Back -
There was such a time
when regrets defined my life.
I could not forget
about my past.
Strung out on a limb.
I got me in the mess I'm in.
Repercussions had
left me out of gas.
That was the game I played
(bad mistake).
We all know right
from wrong
(right from wrong).
Sin kills us all.
Not anymore.
Not me!
I'm not your slave.
Just go away,
yeah don't ever come
another day.
God
What have I done?
I don't know
what to be
or what I've become.
An adolescent
with his life undone.
It's not too late for change.
I won't go back
to yesterday.
Pray tomorrow
will be a better day.
Never looking back.
Forget about the past.
3) Mind Game -
Girl, why you gotta talk to me that way.
For goodness sakes. You're driving me insane.
You would do anything for me, so you said.
Now you want me dead. Why you gotta go and play with my head?
I think about you every night,
when you're out 'till 5 with another guy.
I think about tomorrow night when you'll be mine.
And I'll believe your lies.
I'm trapped inside and I don't know why.
It's just your mind game. I don't think I want to play today.
You've already won. Now I don't know what to do or what to say
about the mind game. I don't think I want to play today.
You've cheated me again. Now I don't know what to do.
So go away.
Why is it always make believe with you and I
You got me on my knees. Time is gonna give me what I need
to clear my mind and give me back my life.
Please say your love will never die.
I'm giving up. I've had enough of what she calls love.
Help me out. I'm begging, please.
Someone put her out of my misery. Here she comes again,
back for more. What am I to do? Stupid girl.
4) Yesterdays -
Yesterday, another way. Things would work out, they'd be okay.
Another time, doing fine. I always said it'd be all right.
Well I used to be okay, in the hands of yesterday.
The darkness came in fast. The feeling wouldn't last.
Now I'm alone. I don't even know what I'm living for,
what to call my home. Is it all a dream? Or a deadly scheme?
Just a big mistake. And I can't explain what's happening to me.
So I've tried to make sense of all the insanity,
but I cannot see. Realize all the complications of humanity.
There's nothing more to be and it ain't gonna be all right,
'till I put up a fight.
5) Friend of Mine -
The boys are growing up
too fast to realize
times are changing and
some have thrown away their lives.
Little Alex
packed his hopes and dreams today.
Did he care at all?
No, he threw it all away.
We used to say those were the days.
You promised you'd never go away.
You left it all behind,
without saying good-bye.
Where did you go oh friend of mine?
She was my best friend.
Now I don't know where she went.
I wonder did she care
about the way I felt that day?
A simple not she wrote
were her last words to me.
All I am to her
is just an empty memory.
Those were the days we long for
and now we want 'em back.
Condescending on the past.
And those were the days
we thought that forever they would last.
Now you know I want 'em back.
So many heartaches,
so many broken thoughts.
Another tear drops down
as my mind goes taking off.
Little children
playing in the streets today.
Remember where you came from.
Don't let it slip away.
6) Homesick -
Stuck inside all this time.
You know we're going down without a fight.
It's 2am and I'm all washed up.
And told the boys I had enough.
Ain't no use in talking sense into me.
I'm giving up I think you know what I mean.
All I really wanna do is go to O.C.
Soon that's where I'm gonna be.
Here we go coming back around again.
Just let 'em know we're coming back around again.
Past the point of no return.
I've done my time, crossed the line.
Now I live and I learn.
All I know is that I'm better off dead.
Oh yeah, to the end of the road we'll go,
the road that takes us home.
Down the 55 we'll roam, out of the great unknown.
7) Bunker's Lullabye -
(no lyrics available)
8) Preacher Man -
That's what I'm talking about.
That's what it's all about.
Everybody's talking how they don't want him around.
One day he wasn't there.
Nobody seemed to care.
Went about my business
even though I felt scared.
I didn't like it.
I didn't buy it.
I did all I could
to try to justify it.
I didn't want it.
I didn't need it.
I had an ego
and you know I had to feed it.
Oh no not again.
This preacher man
he comes with a bible in his hand.
Oh no not again.
I said - go away preacher man.
Put me up for the night.
Said he'd show me the light.
Got so upset I never said good-bye.
Went back onto the street
where we would always meet.
My life was over,
then he helped me to my feet.
One day he wasn't there.
Nobody seemed to care.
Everybody laughed out loud,
but I just sat and cried.
I couldn't live a lie.
I could not run and hide.
I remember when he said,
someday you'll see the light.
9) We Are the Ones -
I got a problem with my life I don't know why.
You don't know why you got a problem with your life.
Just lean on me and then we'll see the way things ought to be.
Because we've tried, we've lied, we've come to realize.
When the chips are down you know I'm gonna be around.
And when I'm feeling low you're gonna jump into my boat.
Everyone may think you're lame, but I like you all the same.
Just promise me you'll never change.
We all believe, in what we see.
Time's gonna have it's way with me...
Now's the time. The time is now to come to realize
that this world is coming to an end.
It's coming by surprise.
The world seems to hate us,
but we don't seem to care.
Because we're forced to live and breathe down here,
I'm choking in this air.
10) Inch High -
I'm torn inside I don't know why.
This feeling comes and goes sometimes.
Make it go away, I want to hide.
My comfort zone envelopes me, chews me up and then spits me out.
Make it go away. What can I say?
Will you remember me when I'm gone and left here to die?
Have I changed a thing? Have I made a difference in your life?
I don't know why it seems like everyone's forsaken me.
I'm not around, but I'm right here next to you.
I'll give you a piece of my mind, but never will I find a piece of yours too.
What can I do?
I'm around but I'm never found. You're never looking for me.
Do you care if I'm ever there? Do you see you're killing me?
My negligence is too much to bear.
Constant negativity got the best of me.
Now I've left scared.
I'm holding on, but not for long.
I'm left here just to sing a song.
And soon I'll be gone.
11) Prom Queen -
Well I'm kicking it alone at home today.
Yeah my Saturday nights seem to go that way.
No one around but my dog and me.
Is this what you call reality?
She was gonna be the girl of my dreams.
Little did I know she thought differently.
Her boyfriend don't think much of me.
He won't even let her talk to me.
That's okay.
Who needs her anyway?
Not me.
I'm happy as can be.
Doing fine,
all of the time.
Yeah, you know I'll be all right.
True love waits and it ain't no lie.
I guess it's time to find a way to hide.
Hiss and miss it's all the same.
Someday she'll come crawling back to me.
I want a girl who'll take the time
to love me for what's inside.
I'll be her's, and she'll be mine
until the end of time.
Sitting all alone at home today.
Yeah my Saturday nights seem to go that way.
I don't want you're sympathy.
I'm just living out my destiny.
12) Frat -
(no lyrics available)
13) This Boy -
That boy took my love away.
He'll regret it someday.
This boy wants you back again.
That boy isn't good for you.
Though he may want you too.
This boy wants you back again.
Oh and this boy would be happy
just to love you, but oh my.
That boy won't be happy,
'till he's seen you cry.
This boy wouldn't mind the pain.
Would always feel the same.
If this boy gets you back again.
14) Big Dream -
Thinking about when we began,
I don't know if I can. Have I become a man?
Times have never been so hard.
All I wanted was a dream to call my own.
Well live and let die, grin and get by.
Words of wisdom to survive.
And I will get by.
Gonna make it happen
with my back against the wall.
I'm gonna make it happen.
So I'll see you at the top.
In a world of live and take,
I have to contemplate,
could this be my fate?
Stick a fork in me, I'm done.
Little do you know I've only just begun.
Well words were spoken, hearts were broken.
Still the song remains the same,
'till I come another day.
So go ahead and try
to find a way to judge my mind,
and think that it's all right.
But don't look down on me
for wanting to succeed.
Cuz this is my big dream,
been given unto me...
So what am I supposed to do?
Gonna keep my eyes on you.
It's gonna see me through.
Nothing left for me to say.
I'll come back for you.
Come back another day.
