1. 33.2
When it all becomes unglued, the pain I've been subjected to
Will be so very minimal to the pain that I felt before,
And when we have that one last fight or a talk that lingers in the night
It will not make me cry for sorrow, just gonna make me wait for
tomorrow.
CHORUS:
And I won't care when it's done,
I'll look back cause it's been fun,
And I'll think it was so cool.
And I won't care when you're there
Cause I'll be just happy here
And I won't have to take yer bull.
--When you said I was a jerk, it wasn't me that you hurt.
You tried and tried to insult me though only to inflate your ego.
Don't come to me cause your life is screwed
Because I have nothing to lose,
Don't come and try to win back, I took too much of your crap.
CHORUS
-Somebody kill me, I don't know what I see, make my decisions for me.
I'm off the handle, I've lost my channel, I'm at a very high rate of
speed.
CHORUS:
Don't know what I'm thinking,
I haven't been drinking,
Can't think with a clear mind.
I can't even see straight,
A lot of mental weight.
Can't I leave some of this behind?
--I can't remember yesterday, it seems so very far away,
It seems like a huge mental block.
I don't know who I am, but I know I've been thinking,
"Maybe I'm just somebody I'm not."
CHORUS
Stuck in my house alone, nobody calls me on the phone,
And there is nothing useful to be doing.
I'm a mental wreck, but I just think "What the heck"
Cause in my brain the trouble is a' brewing.
CHORUS
3. Just by You TOP
-I'm all alone on Saturday night, why the hell am I alone.
You said that we would hang out, but instead you went to a show.
CHORUS:
But I don't mind getting screwed over.
I don't mind taking your abuse.
I don't really care about getting screwed over.
It's just…when…I get screwed over by you.
--I got a box of broken promises, I got a bunch of cancelled dates.
Well promises were meant to be broken, I tried to fix 'em, but I'm all
out of paste.
CHORUS
4. Time to Relax TOP
-What some people call knowledge, others call insane.
Mad questions are racing in and out of every brain.
We think too fast, don't control our thoughts,
Till we don't even know what's going on.
Can't find the time to just relax,
Our minds are going like racing tracks.
CHORUS:
It's getting cloudy in my brain, time to relax.
This pressure's driving me insane, no turning back.
It's getting cloudy in my brain, time to relax.
This pressure's driving me insane, no turning back.
--Flashing sirens, racing lights, gang wars and racial fights.
Watch the news, millions die every day,
What could make it go away?
Too many things are going on,
but then too many things are going wrong.
Take it somewhere to try to get it fixed,
But once it's back out it falls apart and gets wrecked.
CHORUS
---Got no fun. Just run, run, run.
No time to rest, no time to catch your breath.
Got no fun. Just run, run, run.
No time to rest, no time to catch your breath.
CHORUS
5. Ain't So Bad TOP
Forever yesterday ain't so bad, just as long as it's not as bad as
tomorrow.
I saw you wasting away yesterday, as I tried to pull you out of your
sorrow.
You wear black all the time, say it's not style, it's self-expression.
Hey, don't jump down my throat, and lead me to that pit of depression.
CHORUS:
Why do you have to be so sad?
Why can't you see it ain't so bad.
Mopin' around all the time,
And all you do is cry,
Why can't you see it ain't so bad.
Wipe that frown off your face, and find that thing that makes you smile.
Doesn't matter if you can't find your place, you can be down with me for
a while.
Well I ain't no master of therapy, but I know that it's better than
being down.
And I know it would be better for me if you'd find the time to stick
around.
CHORUS
I noticed you, noticing me at the back of the dance.
I wondered what you would do if I asked, so I decided I'd take the
chance.
I've forgotten my sorrow and blues, forgotten loneliness and being
bored.
I think I'm in love with you, and I'm scared, cause I've never had this
feeling before.
HAPPY CHORUS
Forever yesterday ain't so bad, just as long as it's not as bad as
tomorrow.
6. Revolutionize TOP
-This is the life I lead, from your conformity, won't obey your commands.
I neglect authority, it's an ignorant disease. I won't succumb to your
demands.
CHORUS: So what if you're alive?
Do something with your life.
Why don't you revolutionize?
Do something with your life.
--I will seclude myself from your labeled shelf. I won't go too your
planted destination.
Lazy uselessness is your home address. I'm not part of your generation.
CHORUS
I trained myself to neglect authority, I won't succumb or bow to that
disease. (repeat)
---And I don't need anyone, anything, or anybody because they don't need me.
I don't need anyone, anything, or anybody because they just don't see.
CHORUS
-Walking all alone on suburban roads,
thinkin' 'bout why there's nobody beside me,
And the I think about your smile.
Do you ever feel this way or are you always with someone else?
Never had to walk that lonely mile…
--Well I guess I'm just too dumb to tell you
How I really feel inside but when I try to talk to you
I feel like such a retard.
Words jumble, I mumble, another loose fumble.
There's a reason life never seemed so hard.
CHORUS: And when I look in my broken mirror
I see myself and I know why I'll never be hear her.
I'm hopelessly in love with you.
I'm hopelessly, I don't know what to do.
I'm hopelessly in love with you.
Never had a chance, never had a doubt
That I never had you figured out.
--Well, I wish I was ignorant and didn't care about nothing,
Cause then I wouldn't have to see you anymore.
But when I stop to think about you,
You deserve someone better
Cause I can be such an ugly bore.
CHORUS
Find a cure for loneliness, put it in a can.
If you would be my special girl then I'll be your man.
Don't deny my geekiness, you'll never understand.
But I just want someone to tell me to hold their hand.
CHORUS
A loser job with lousy hours I make the food the slob devours I'm cleaning up after little brats for 4 an hour what's up with that?
Fast food gotta get that order fast food life's getting shorter Fast food I think I'm gonna puke...
Cook the burgers, scoop them fries, watch my life flash before my eyes Gimmie that ugly uniform, Help ME DIE, HELP ME CONFORM!!!
Chorus (butt rock bridge): oh yeah, the rush is over, take out the trash, take out my head. Could i get any lower? Do i have any dignity left to shred? Fast food rush puttin up a chase grease and sweat build on my face but I'll be back next time I bet cuz its the only job that i can get
chorus
Do you know the looks you get when you're in the gutter and all hopes been spent and not a penny to your name? Beggin on your hands and knees, hopin someone helps you, please, you're just a bloody shame.
When you're down in the gutter with no one lookin over and you're pulling out every piece of your hair.
When you're down in the gutter with on one lookin over and I'll say, "I Don't Care"
You need to go out and get a job. You're just a petty useless slob. You need to get some new clothes on your back. What do you do when you need new shoes? You don't go to look for things to do you just steal and push some crack.
Chorus
Find you drunk and cold on the street. A broken nose cuz you got beat. You're all a mess, You've just been slain. Do you know the looks you get when you're in the gutter and all hope's been spent? You're just a bloody shame.
Chorus
Freak brigade is not afraid to take on anything We have all the courage and the power that I sing I will no rest till I fund my peace and quiet but up till that day it's a social class riot
We are the Freak Brigade, self-taught and self-made,
We are the Freak Brigade and we're all over you…
We're not like you, ya trendy clones Why don't you just leave us alone? Why can't you find something better to do? So I dont end up a loser like you
chorus
Then things you do make you look like creeps. Why dont you go and drive your little jeeps? Ridicule and put us down till you're blue in the face, But I will be smilin when you're off the human race…
chours whoa-oh oh, whoa-oh oohhhh, whoa.
11. I NEED YOU TOP
All that I have are some faded memories and couple pictures of your face that keep me livin from day to day when I can't talk to you, but that don't stop my mind from thinkin of you.
Ohh waaa ohh I need you, ooh waa ohh I want you ooh waa ooh I need you. When will I ever have you?
Just thinkin of you makes me retarded, but when I think of where we are I'm left broken hearted. I cry myself to sleep and pine away cause I'm just waiting for some special day.
Chours
I make myself sick just thinking of you. I wanna get close but what the hell am I supposed to do when you're so far away and I'm still stuck here. Each day without you seems like a thousand years
chorus
Now it's done. The stories over and where am I this time? In the dust, kicked to the curb dead and left behind. I'm wandering around at 2 am scavenging for food. It's cold, I'm wet. I wanna go home but I can't right now. I worried about where I'll sleep, get dry and get some chow. I wanna yell, I wanna scream, but I guess I'm screwed. I'm wandering around at 2 am scavenging for food. Snot is dripping from my nose, it's cold, my hands are numb. Out on the streets, no where to sleep and no place to run. I wanna yell, I wanna scream, but I guess I'm screwed. I'm wandering around at 2 am scavenging for food.
13. GRAY SKIES TOP
Romantic a notion as voodoo love potion and I'm still alive but I wanna be dead Not as depressing as it is just stressing the worry that plugs up the holes in my head. My feelings are leaking but I am still seeking that one special girl who could make me fall in love. Silently screaming or am I just dreaming, Alone in the rain dreary clouds up above
These Gray Skies never meant so much As when I longed for your tender touch. The saddest things that I could say reflected in a rainy day But you never noticed anyway…
Thoughts are devising and no way arising to get you to notice that I care for you. Lonely night hours and taking cold showers. To make up for all the times I didn't have a clue. Sittin in my room, thinkin' bout my doom. My social life is non existent. Wish I would die with no reason why. All my happiness was spent
chorus
I wanna cry and it's no lie I wanna fly up in the sky
Wondering and Plundering the loser I could be There's no way a better day with me could stay you went away I really think I'm on the brink of jumping into the sea.
Really sad it drives me mad it's really bad I wish I had a special girl in all the world to take away my blues I wish I may I wish I might be going out with you tonight
Never that way on a rainy day, cuz I always lose
chorus
14. BABY YOU MAKE ME WANNA BE A NECROPHILIAC TOP
You ain't got no pulse. (oh no oh no oh) and I don't wanna see you go. (oh no oh no oh) You're the only one for me. (oh no oh no oh) Won't let death get in the way
Keep you in my room. Formaldehyde the fumes.
You'll be with me every day. Won't ever go away. Baby you make me wanna be a necrophiliac
I hope the cops don't find out. (oh no oh no oh) Cause your mom would have a cow (oh no oh no oh) And what would your pops (oh no oh no oh) say about your corps.
Chorus
15. IT'S YOUR FAULT TOP
You think you're playin with the cards you're dealt. And you think you played the well. Well fate won out in the end, I was just part of the scam.
It's your fault, It's your fault and I can't help you. It's your fault that you cant win.
Try to blame everyone but you. Said there's nothing you can do. But you're the one stuck in this mess waving your flag of distress.
Chorus
Now you're askin me for help. Cause your life's a livin' hell. Wnt me to make it all right. Want me to fight your fight.
Chorus
16. THE COLOR OF YOUR EYES TOP
And there's nothing you could say that would make me now want to live today. There's nothing you could say that would bring me down. Well, I'll just get up and walk away. Or maybe I'll just do something to prove to you that I don't need you now.
Chorus
It's not that I don't care that you were never there or that it didn't matter when I was sad. It's not that I didnt mind that you were screwin with my mind and only when I was upset you were glad. It wasn't any of these things that really made me scream. It was just the color of your eyes.
And you said it was my fault that you always got pissed off, but I don't see what bad genes have to do with me. And I guess we'll both move on and I'm sorta depressed that you're gone or maybe it's just I really gotta pee.
17. MY FRIENDS TOP
And I'll see my friend on my time during my life if that's fine and I don't really care what you have to say.
And I won't be with you or have to choose between the two as long as I'm on my time and it's my life to live.
I won't do anything you want me to do and I won't listen to a single word you have to say cause if you ask me from my point of view between you and dyin I'd pick dyin any day.
I won't listen, I won't talk, I'll take myself out for a walk. Eleviate myself from the equation. I wanna leave and not come back. I don't wanna hear it so shut your trap I wanna go on a very long vacation
chorus
I'm fed up. With your stupid antics, yelling at me, being pissed and calling on the phone. And I'm fed up with your stupid antics, yelling at me, being pissed, just leave me alone……. AND I'LL SEE
My friends on my time during my life if that's fine and I don't really care what you have to say. And I wont be with you or have to choose between the two as long as I'm on my time and it is my life to live
chorus
18. ALWAYS RAIN TOP
First time I saw her was at a show. I wondered if I would ever see her face again. But I knew if I didn't I'd loose something I never had and if I saw her again then she would make me glad.
So I go back to that place and try to find her face among the millions of people scurrying around. My hopes were never night of even finding her and I'd never get to tell her of the feeling I had inside.
That was the girl who took my heart and I don't even know her name. I wish we never had to part, but on my parade there's always rain.
I'll probably never see her again and I will probably never even get to talk to her, but in mind I'll always have that special place for that girl who stole my heart and then left without a trace.
Chorus
AAAAAALLLLLLWWWWWAAAAAYYYYYYS RRRRRAAAAAIIIIIIINNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Every night I tore my apron workin off my ass.
Realizing I'm not nothing and goin nowhere fast.
Dreams that won't be realized because they're to far gone so I just wait it out and around and wonder what when wrong. A victim of what? A victim myself. A victim of my life. Winnin no battle in this huge personal strife. When I was free I looked down on this life and I hated. But now I live this life and look forward to being jaded.
CHORUS: Take me away jaded life and don't let me return.
Cause I don't like the things I've seen or the things I've learned. Take me away jaded life and help me not remember what my life is like now and will be forever.
--Workin for someone else was the last thing I wanted. But money is what I need to keep my jaded funded. Six walls keep me in and no exist or escape. I just sit around and wonder how my life's been raped.
