CANADA LOOKS GOOD TO ME
I don't feel represented by our current government
I didn't vote for the schmuck they got runnin' it
I was born within it's boundries, I didn't get to choose
Before the shit hits the fan, I think I'll move
Canada looks good to me
Love it or leave it? I'm startin' to agree
Canada looks good to me
Tradin' Stars and Stripes for a maple leaf
Canada looks good to me
Won't let Bush make a monkey outta me
Canada looks good to me
I'm jumpin' ship before it sinks
I see kooks in the media being blindly patriotic
Changing French fries to Freedom fries seems plainly idiotic
I wish I could make an analogy to make that sound more stupid
But I don't think I have to, I mean c'mon, it's really rather ridiculous....
Fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity
Peace through war, can't you see through that hypocrisy?
You wanna fight Iraq for breaking U.N. rules
But you'll break the rules to fight with them, you fools!
I don't wanna be part of the global police
Throwing their weight around wherever they please
You can't find peace with a loaded gun
There'll be no peace once World War III has begun
Canada looks good to me
Love it or leave it? I'm startin' to agree
Canada looks good to me
Tradin' Stars and Stripes for a maple leaf
Canada looks good to me
Won't let Bush make a monkey outta me
Canada looks good to me
I'm jumpin' ship before it sinks
TRUST FUND LIBERAL
Upper class, middle-aged and white
You yuppie scum suburbanite
You think you'll heal the world's woes?
That's not how it's supposed to go!
"Save the rainforest" you say
But they are half a world a way
Greater problems exist at home
That you can't seem to face
Trust Fund Liberal! (3x)
You'll feed the starved in Africa
But not the starved in Detroit
I guess it's hard to think about food
When there's a silver spoon in your mouth
How good it must feel to cry about
The misfortunes of others
Knowing well that you will never
Experience their tragedy
Trust Fund Liberal! (3x)
How good it must feel to cry about
The misfortunes of others
Knowing well that you will never
Experience their tragedy
If you believed all the shit you spew
You'd give you Porsche to charity
But your politics don't go that far
Outside your comfort zone
Trust Fund Liberal! (3x)
LIVING WAGE
I don't want to be a zombie, I don't want to be undead
Don't want to be a slave to my living wage
But I gotta pay my bills, andI somehow gotta eat
Sure it sucks but there's no other way
Monday morning, drag myself out of bed
A weekend of rocking and now I feel dead
Gotta go to work and start the day
Somone tell me there's a better way!
I don't want to be a zombie, I don't want to be undead
Don't want to be a slave to my living wage
But I gotta pay my bills, andI somehow gotta eat
Sure it sucks but there's no other way
Working's a bitch, but it's the price that I pay
If I'm to have food and place to stay
CHARELTON HESTON STYLE APOCOLYPSE
Next time I'm on a beach I'm prepared, I've got a speech!
I'll beat my hands in the sand, and this is what I'll preach:
YOU BLEW IT UP YOU MANIACS! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!
It's a Charelton Heston Apocolypse,
I'm the only man left who talks
It's a Charelton Heston Apocolypse,
where'd these monkeys learn to talk?
You'll see me running through the streets so get up out of your seat!
Soylent Green is PEOPLE, and this is what you eat!
It's a Charelton Heston Apocolypse,
there's something I gotta shout!
It's a Charelton Heston Apocolypse,
people go in and food comes out!
I don't care what people say, I'm not over-acting, this place is INSANE!
You'll see me dowtown when the sun goes down and battle albinos from the underground
I've got the cure for whitey's disease, that' why I'm under siege!
It's a Charelton Heston Apocolypse
when the only left is you
It's Charelton Heston Apocolypse,
when it comes to the end, you're screwed
SELF DIAGNOSIS
Why am I so tired all the time?
There's no reason for me to be asleep all day
So I go to old doctor, what's his name?
He says "Depressed" and sends me on my
This is my self-diagnosis
Not herpes, or scholiosis
My problems are my own
But I'm no longer alone
So I get some prozac prescribed to me
Makes you happy, or so they say
But I don't think the prozac works for me
I think it's you that'll be the cure for me
This is my self-diagnosis
Not herpes, or scholiosis
My problems are my own
But I'm no longer alone
METAL ODYSSEY
Flying monkeys going over the moon
Grim Reaper's gonna get you soon
You'll catch cold or a rare disease
You'll piss your pants, make you fall on your knees
Praise the golden calf because it goes "Moo"
I'll get you and your little dog too
Metal Odyssey will catch you off guard
Turn you into a mental retard
NORMAL GUY
They point their fingers and laugh and shout
Even though I'm giving it all that I got
The problem is I'm not the same
The problem is I don't play that game
They tell me that I'm all washed up
They tell me that I'm not "punk rock"
What I want t o know: what is punk rock?
What I need to know what is punk rock?
What I want to know is, what I need to know
What I gotta learn, what I gotta find out
What I want to know is, what I need to know
Why am I just a normal guy?
(2x)
Hey Mister-Punk-Police-Guy
Don't judge me by the clothes that I buy!
The problem is I'm not the same
The problem is I don't play that game
They tell me that I'm all washed up
They tell me that I'm not "punk rock"
What I want t o know: what is punk rock?
What I need to know what is punk rock?
What I want to know is, what I need to know
What I gotta learn, what I gotta find out
What I want to know is, what I need to know
Why am I just a normal guy?
(2x)
No matter what I do or say you judge me same
I'm tired of trying to fit into your stupid punk cliche'
(2x)
Am I just a normal guy?
Why do I even try?
(2x)
PRICE OR POWER
I've got a clipboard, and I'm coming for you
I'm a pawn, there's nothing I can do
This indirect approach is more deliberate than you know
It's our ability to pass the buck that makes you pay the dough
So just sign here, it's your life that's on the line
You have your options, but they come with a fine
These faceless corporations, with whom you need to deal
The person deserving of your hate will never be revealed
Invest your cash in Mom and Pop, see what they can do
Their bread and butter is a satisfied customer, to which they will be true
THE MUSIC IN ME
I don't have a fucking job
I don't have a goddamn car
No girls have ever looked my way
And those who did broke my heart
Nothing ever goes my way and that's not even the fucking start
But at the end of the day
There's one thing I got
The music gets inside of me and it don't come out
Punk Rock was good to me
When I was at my worst
Punk Rock, thank you for all you've done
HELP YOURSELF
Don't fucking call my friend when your shit goes down and you need a helping hand
You always put me down and when you need help you call around
You want some help you help yourself (2x)
It couldn't happen but it did
Now that bridge is burning down, in flames, in flames
BOMB THE HILLS
I just had the most fucked day
Things are falling apart but that's ok
Gonna build up a lot of steam
Gonna burn it away at full speed
Gonna push it about a dozen times
With deep carves and power slides
Skateboarding's the life for me
It always sets me free
Bomb the hills, gonna carve some curves
Hitting concrete will calm my nerves
(2x)
I got me a 40 inch plank
Indy trucks that broke the bank
Abec 7s, and big ass wheels
Going out and gonna bomb those hills
Skateboarding's the life for me
It always sets me free
Bomb the hills, gonna carve some curves
Hitting concrete will calm my nerves
(2x)
RATIONALE
Do you hate the corporate radio, do you abhor the money machine?
Do you hate it 'cause it works? Do you hate it 'cause you lost?
Do you hate to follow fashion trends? Have you noticed that you do?
Do you really think it fucking matters what style of clothes you where?
Can you rationalize your answer to sound punk instead of sad?
Can you avoid making the same mistakes your hippy parents have?
Do you hate the fact that you're under the thumb of the opressor?
Or can you see that your problems are your own damn fault?
Do you really think society made you who you are?
Don't you think you can shoulder a little of the blame?
Can you rationalize your answer so it doesn't sound cliche'?
Can you make it sound as if you're hip to the causes of today?
Did you shun the ways of the upper class and keep your dignity?
Or did you piss away your chance and protest as a tantrum?
Do you really think you belong?
Is your past a secret?
Or have you realized that it's all a fucking game?
Can you rationalize your answer so it fits in with the rest?
Can you convince yourself that it's just a fucking game?
Do you rationalize your answer so that people think you're cool?
Keep lying to yourself until you think it's true.

Living in Excess
A woman in a wheelchair - no she didn't need it!
She's saving her legs for dancin', in hopes that you would see it
A woman on a billboard - no she wasn't famous
Spent spent millions in advertising just to show her face off
Living in excess, living in excess, living in excess, L.A.
Living in excess, living in excess, living in excess, USA
A very hazy skyline through a thick white fog
From millions of people driving, creating choking smog
I saw the temples of a religion started 50 years ago
Their god was money, they'll make you better if you gave more
Chorus
Banning smoking indoors like that was a solution
If they're worried about their lungs their cars are the pollution
I saw kids with an honest desire to rock
But too many people want to make that their job
Chorus
I saw cops telling people to speed - no you're not allowed
They just know that you'll get hurt if you dont' follow the crowd
I saw a mass of people unafraid of their crimes
Of starting trends in society, sending it into decline
18 & Death
Fellow students, we're gathered here today
For my commencement speech on our graduation day
I've thought for four years on what I want to say
I'm tired of being told what to think and what to say
I'm eighteen and I realize
Don't have to listen to your rules, don't have to listen to your lies
Just cause I'm "smart" doesn't mean I'll follow rules
What am I to do now that we are out of school?
Well I'm tired of living life, by doing things "right"
I dont' want to follow the path laid down for me
'Cause I'm eighteen and I'm free, and I no longer want to be your valedictorian
Eighteen and death
Today my life begins!
Eighteen and death
Today I'm born again!
I'm eighteen so get out of my way
Get the fuck outta here I got my own place to stay!
I got my guitar and I'm gonna go play
Forget about the past, for tomorrow's another day
Chorus
Fellow students, we're gathered here today
For my commencement speech on our graduation day
I've thought for four years on what I want to say
I'm tired of being told what to think and what to say
Your future's in your hands
What are you gonna do now that you're at the helm?
Are you gonna wast it getting ahead?
If you work away life then you're already dead
Chorus
Sterile
You better button up before you catch cold
Can't go outside, I'm allergic to mold
How'd these germs get so damn bold?
It's amazing we don't die before we're old<
If cleanliness is next to godliness
Then lord knows we don't stand a chance
When SARS comes to kill both you and me
You know we can blame STERILITY
Sanitary, plastic wrapped
Single use, disposable
Sterility is what seek
Sterility has made us week
Our immune systems need a test
To help them create a fence
To build up the body's immunity
And that's why I say "Fuck sterility"
Chorus
From home to car and car to work
From work to car and car to home
We live our lives in plastic bubbles
Far from germs and far from trouble
Afraid of dirt and getting hurt
Producing social introverts
Chorus
