"The 80 Bus"

On my way from work, I'm on the 80 Bus
It's crowded as hell, someone's raising up a fuss
Shove past an old man and take the last free spot
I leanback in the bucket seat and checkout what I've got
Sparkle in my eye, smile on my face
Slicked back hair, gotta keep up with the pace
Cheap smelling perfume is drifting here and there
I open up a window cause it's really hard to bear

All I need is a look in my direction
Take another peek at a wonderful complexion
All this stress makes me suffer indigestion
Hey won't you notice spend a moment in reflection

You'll always find me hanging around
Playing pool at Gert's and drinking 'til I drown
A leisure suit, I can't get dusty
Karaoke mic, you know my singing's rusty
Friday night is here, and I'm on the move
Fall down some stairs, and roll me up a dube
Rev up the engine of my shiny trans-am
I guess I never realized that I'm my only fan

"Hostile"

You sleep all day, and you sleep all night
All busted up cause you got ina fight
You can't keep your job,
Cause you can't work straight
You try to pick fights when you show up late

You get hostile when you're loaded
Your ability to tolerate is distorted
Can't control yourself when you drink
Try to start fights when you forget to think

Your eyes are all red and your nose is broke
You think you're so cool,
But you're blowing smoke
You'll wake up tomorrow,
All abttered and bruised
But when the night comes around you'll be ready to cruise

"Change"

I won't change, don't want to be changed
Why would I want to be like you?
The cutouts shout their insults as I'm walking down the hall
Turn around and tell them to "go back to the shopping mall"

I won't change

I won' change, I want to be strange
Why would I want to be like you?
Your comments and opinions don't mean anything to me
I like the way I do things, so don't try to change me

I won't change, I won't rearrange

"Repo Man"

Everybody pay attention to what I'm going to say
I'll tell you my story so you'll understand
What it means to be broke, dropped and fired in one day
To wake up every morning with the feeling it doesn't matter anyway

Once upon a time things were going my way
Nothing ever happened that could bring me down
Thinking that the good times were always gonna stay
But it's been a long time since I've seen a sunny day

Living in the 'burbs, waiting for the repo man
To take away my car, due to insufficient funds
I got nowhere to go, and my wife just ran away
With my lawyer and credit cards, but that's ok
They never worked anyway

Growing up I listened to my parents as they said
"Go to school get a job and then you've got it made"
Maybe that formula worked back in their day
But I can tell you brother that a lot of things have changed

Looking through the window on to the driveway
Watching for the repo man 24 hours a day
Stepping outside I raise my .45
Giving up the future for today
It never worked anyway, I'm waiting for the repo man

"Romeo"

My girlfriend is a lesbian
Not even bisexual
Am I just a thespian
Acting out Romeo?

We cruise chicks together
We dress in real fake leather
But sometimes the weather
It get's too hot...  (Get's too hot...)

We can kiss like mothers
We can sleep like brothers
We can walk like lovers
But that's as far as it goes

And so I do not hesitate
To hope one day that she turns straight
And if that day doesn't come
Then make me a lesbian

"Cooler Than You"

She's so much cooler than you

I get nervous and I shy away
When I see her dressed that way
She must have problems meeting new people
Can't talk to her without seeming like a creep, oh

She's so much cooler than you
She's a hipster, she looks fine, hep.

Just sitting here with my two coffees
She smiles at me out of pity
But she don't understand what she can't see
I guess she's just too cool for me.

"Get Out My Baby"

I have been saving my money for many a year
Then you sold me out to the cable man, woah, my dear
You say you're not guilty, you say you've been talling the truth
But I caught you kissing the other boy, and lying is just more proof

Get out, get out my bay
Cause you've been messing with the other boy

Take back your second hand records and
Take back your second hand clothes
I'll send you back to your mother's
Where you won't cheat anymore

You still say you're not guilty
You still say you're telling the truth
But I caught you messing with many a boy
And lying is just more proof!

Get out, get out my baby
Driving me crazy, my lying cheating baby

"My Decision"

Accussations fly with elements of violence
You're wondering whom to blame for your disgraced name
You got no reason except for one, just look at what you've done
Don't believe what they say

Deny all criticism, call it radical activism
Suggestions too trivial, solutions too simple
Relate to reality, I claim that we're all free
Don't listen to what they say

It's my decision, not based on any one point of view
I decline suggestions and the rumors
It's my decision, I'mnot worried about which side will lose
Based on odds and all confused

Dispel the allegations, without any explanation
Truth is left unspoken, belief is but a token
Understand the issues, don't concede the right to choose
Don't follow what they say

It's my decision, to refuse the opinions
Won't accept the standards, or the regulations
All the rules that confine won't keep me in line
Don't do what they say.

"Uncle Gordie"

Shovel the snow off the frozen lake
I start tying on my brand new skates
Shoot the puck with Uncle Gordie
He leaves work ear;y cause we love hockey

When I grow up I wanna play in the NHL
On the same line with Oleg and his brother Kjell
Checking Dougie Gilmour, crack his head
Slash Theorin Fieury, hack his legs

Uncle Gordie shoots,
He shoots he scores!

My friends ain't all-stars but they're ok
Pick up teams drop the puck and play
Skate until dinner watch the pros on t.v
Screw my homework cause we love hockey

"Dirty Old Man"

He's out on the town wearing black leather pants and a button down
Whistling out of tune, the girls get nervous when he enters the room
Scared to get caught in his gaze, they've read and heard about his ways

Rude, crude and decietful
He's chasing all the girls
He's got some real bad lines
Hey baby, what's your sign?

Greasy hair, cheap cigars, sittin all alone at the end of the bar
Whistling out of tune, the girls get nervous when he enters the room
Scared to get caught in his gaze, they've read and heard about his ways

Rude, crude and decietful
Just one of those people
Well, he hopeless but hopeful
He's rude crude and decietful - dirty old man

"Take It From The Top"

Out of control, gotta think fast
Can't let you forget the things in your past
It's nothing new, it's a travesty of justice
You're still high on the hog you untouchable pricks

The truth about you will now be revealed
Can't make them pay back so let's make them feel
The humiliation, degradation, loss of a job
The only way to teach these fucks

Is to take it from the top

Hey, hey now, we're going to take it from the top
Shake down the brass, gonna come to a stop
Evil Jack bureaucrat looking bad under pressure
Need a way out but that's too bad.

"She's So Hot"

She's so hot
So god damn hot
She's dressed to say whoa, man!
She'll give you all she's got

So you want to be with ehr
With someone so fine?
She really want a boss man
And to have a good time, with you.

Oh, she's a looker
She'll really knock you out
You've got to keep up with her
Or she'll run you down, look out!
