I can't believe you’re satisfied
with your lame achievement!
Though it’s nice to make believe but not for me

Well they’re working all for you
You tell them what to do
and say to fit your vision
Well, you better hope it works
cuz there’s a line of jerks
who wait to tell you something
How does it feel to have control of everything
that’s meaningless?

I can’t believe you’re satisfied
with your lame achievement!
Though it’s nice to make believe
but not for me

Of course I’ll come to celebrate
when they say your over
With the ones who are relieved
cuz we’ve suffered for so long
I think we’ve had enough

2. Fatigue

I get so tired when I have to deal with you
I wonder if you think what you say is true
I turn away to another smiling face
with air behind it
So happy with it’s place!

Find somebody else who’d ready to believe in
anything but themselves

I get so sad when I have to look at you
What once was funny has made me sour too
I turn away to see some vacant eyes
It’s very common but comes as a surprise

It’s so convenient
when you’re not supposed to think
or be responsible at all

I hope someday
that you’ll start thinking for yourself
and take responsibility

3. Pay No Mind

I just don’t want to go
I’m sick of moving
and I didn’t want to go
but I did what’s best for us
And now I’m glad
I didn’t pay no mind
to my mind at the time
I just don’t want to know
It’s not worth knowing
And I didn’t want to know
but I did what’s best for us
And now I’m glad
I didn’t pay no mind
to my mind at the time

Every time I had enough
there came another perk
and I just couldn’t say no
Now I know it’s not enough
to give you what you want
but I just couldn’t say no

I did what’s best for us and now I’m glad
I didn’t pay no mind to my mind at the time
I did what’s best for us and now I’m glad
I didn’t pay no mind to my mind at the time
I did what’s best for us and now I laugh
at what was going on in my mind at the time

4. I’d Like To Know

You know I’d like to think
that you’ve been pretty cool
But I have given up lying to myself
You know it makes me laugh
to see you doing well
But it never fails to leave me so mystified

I’d like to know I don’t think
that I will ever understand

Feeling pretty good about the big success
What makes people feel, the need to get their fill?
I guess it’s not too hard to preach it to the choir
When you show them how to sing it
and they sing along

I’d like to know I don’t think
that I will ever understand
It beats me down a little further
every single day

I’ve made a natural selection
Of course it’s none of the above

I’d like to know I don’t think
that I will ever understand
I want to feel like I don’t have to try
and understand

5. Conquistadors of Nothing

Well you’re very good at what should never be
attempted at all
But it pays the bills
Emptiness encased in politics then wrapped
inside a clear coat
Of waste and stupidity

Is this what you want? Is this your big plan?
It’s just that it’s so....

I know where you’re from and furthermore I know
exactly where you’re going
But I don’t want to jinx it
Well you’re very good at what should be
considered nothing at all
But somehow it’s not

Is this what you want? Is this your big plan?
It’s just that it’s so....

Be careful what you wish for!

6. A Hundred Times as Good (I'm With You Sister)

How can you go on this way?
A waste of everyday
It’s meaningless and sad and I just have to say

That no one really wants to see you try
They like how you don’t bitch
about your slice of pie
I think you’re a hundred times as good

Now what makes you want to stay?
I ask it everyday
It’s not as if they had respect for what you say

Cuz they don’t really want you to succeed
They’re happy with the way you have
a need for them
I think you should push them all away

Even if you stay and succeed
you will know that it’s nonsense
And it doesn’t wash off for a very long time

So don’t be the one that didn’t have the nerve
To stand up for yourself because you had to serve
Someone with some pretty dumb ideas

7. Pardon Me

I hate it when I’m not polite
When it’s deserved it’s still not right So I still wish you better days
Though I dislike you anyway
It doesn’t mean I can’t be courteous

I get uptight and nervous and tense
Small things tend to become immense
I’m just beginning to unwind
So if I seem to be unkind
It isn’t really me that’s talking

My head’s connected to my heart
And I just can’t pull them apart
Although they know each other well
The odds are slim that they will gel
The just don’t seem to go together

8. A fortunate Mistake

I tried and I failed I tried and I failed
It was the best thing that could have happened
There’s nothing left here Nothing to care for
No one to talk with No one to listen

I tried and I failed I tried and I failed
It was the best thing that could have happened
Too bad you find it all so impressive
Too bad you see it as something precious

I tried and I failed I tried and I failed
It was the best thing that could have happened
There’s nothing left here Nothing to care for
No one to talk with No one to listen

9. I’m Not Too Proud

Urban culture’s pretty dumb
Suburban culture’s pretty dumb
That feeling of incomprehension that you may feel
Is there a reason yeah

So love it or leave it
I do both all the time
It’s so hard to bear and it’s sad to be witnessing
De-evolution yeah

I’m not too proud of anything
So stop your nationalistic tendencies Oh Yeah!

OK now here’s a plan
Show junior more love
Maybe he won’t grow up to be a big thug
And kill me for my car yeah

Make them realize
How awful it can be
When one day you find that your life is resembling
A made for TV movie yeah

I’m not too proud of anything
So stop this behavioural profile
Of killing others OH YEAH

It’s not that hard to be a jerk
It’s not that hard to be so lame
When you’re an asshole OH YEAH

10. It’s All Here in This Book

I understand the need to feel love
But this time you’ve gone way too far
And now you believe that everyone’s bad
And everyone’s evil inside
I don’t understand how you can think that way

Cuz there is a book and it says that this is all true

I understand the need to feel safe
But this time you’ve gone way too far
It’s easy to see when you believe
That we’re all so evil inside
There are so many that want you to think that way

Cuz there is a book and it says that this is all true
Yes there is a book and it says that this is all true

There is a book and it says that this is all true
Yes there is a book and it says that this is all true


Suburban Advantage

If You Move Away

I've mowed some lawns,
And I've packed some grocery bags
And I've stocked the shelves at K-Mart
I might be wrong, but I think I'm qualified
To give advice about America
Most get the shaft, unless you give the shaft
But you'll suck some ass to get there

So if you move away, expecting life to change
I hope that you find happiness
But please don't be surprized
To find that life is just a Soap Opera
That never ends until you die

when I grew up, my friend was the TV
And it showed me America
Game shows and soaps,
Policemen who sell drugs
And I thought it wasn't accurate
Low and behold this lie was comming true
And at first it was depressing
But now I laugh, and I watch Guiding Light
To get a clue about America.

And we just laugh and laugh,
And laugh and laugh and laugh
And laugh and laugh.

New Wave Lullaby

I'm not ashamed to say that I am disgusted by the human race
I am disgusted to say that I am ashamed by the human race
Someday I think we'll all my murdered
By all the ones we elect to office

All you parents that are raising kids
Don't treat them like it's natural too.
Your child's 3 foot 6 and weighs 50 pounds
You over eat and you drink too much
Someday I think we'll all my murdered
By all the ones we elect to office

Someday I think we'll all my murdered
By all the ones we elect to office


Let's go to the Mall

Everywhere I go
Something's in my face
Asking me to make a choice
Why is this so?

Manufacturers in my living space
Showing me why this is bad,
Why is this so?

If i had my way, I'd send them all away
Am i wrong for wanting this?

Turn on the TV, that's a big mistake
But it seems this is what people watch
Why is this so?
Let's go to the mall,buy some overpriced
Clothes made by some overworked sweatshop labor
If I had my way, I'd send them all away
Am I wrong for wanting this?

I feel like I'm at a big Carnival
Every attraction designed to rip me off
Oh why is this the case today?

New Songs

Life Goes By

If you could see through my eyes
Would you say I need corrective lenses
Or would you say
That the beaten path is a lonely place
It's a big sad face
Gives you the right to say

Yeah that life goes by too fast
Only life goes too fast
When I look back on my past
I don't wanna see a wasted life

In the Sun

Sun shinin' on my hands and face
Sun shinin' as we both embrace
Lips moving to the same space
Eyes closin' to the same place.

And that's what I want to do
That's what I'm waiting for
Kisses in the sun.
And that's what I want to do
That's what I'm waiting for
Kisses in the sun.

And I'm still waitin'
And I'll keep waitin'
