Car

Bought you a car because you gotta go faster
Right off the lot, it's all that you were after
'Till you broke off, 'cause you had found something better
Maybe this new one will treat you fairer
Bought a garage, because the cars need storage
Make it a large, because they're lookin' kinda boring
Now settle down, but wait just one more thing
Look at the yard, does it seem kinda plain?
And if it gets you some heat
Well you know they shouldn't care
You will only feel release
When you own every ware
Oh if you could only be somebody
Who could gather everything worth buying
Ain't No Mountain High Enough if it's built with gold
Now you're feeling off, you know that you can do better
Is it a sign? Not while the neighbors aren't jealous
No backing down, your cars become your crusade
Lock up your mind, so you can save some face
And if you're feeling the heat
Well you know you shouldn't care
Oh you can buy up everything
But you'll still be unaware
Oh if you could only be somebody
Who could gather everything worth buying
Ain't no valley low enough if it's filled with gold
Oh if you could only be somebody
Who could gather everything worth buying
Ain't no river wide enough to keep you from gold
And no matter what they say
After all your friend's run away
You will keep your cars 'till the bitter end
They'll never take you away
They'll never take you away oh no!

Shenanigans (Epilogue)
02:34
|
|||
|
I heard you got yourself
A job in New York City
I heard it pays you well
I heard it gets you into all of the clubs
Don't you forget about us!
Don't you forget where you came from
Another message on the roof
It says, "climb right back to the world you came from"
But now you got some money
And now you got your own pad
What did you think would happen,
When you finally came back?
Don't you say you want to be a friend again
You make it hard enough to be acquaintances
Stick around and see just where our patience went
It doesn't take much now does it to go it alone
But you're never gonna come back
'Cause when you're here...
When you're here you're somewhere else
You'll never ever come back
You wouldn't even try
You're never gonna come back
But you know I wouldn't mind

I'll Be Your Radio
03:14
|
|||
|
Stop listening to all those fanatical shows
They get off on their lying
Pretend it's a way to find out how it goes
And I think you'll end up on the cutting room -
- Floor, safer there then where you want to be
Come back to me I'll be your radio
Make up your alibi and I'll be your favorite show
Sing it stronger, sing it true
Peaceful minds are better kept in -
- Tune, no more news for you
Off handed remarks are your newest thing
Don't make it a habit
You'd paint yourself up for an audience
Who meets all minimum requirements to get -
- Off on violence and anger mismanagement
Come back to me I'll be your radio
Clean up this mess you made
We can just let it go
Sing it stronger, sing it true -
- Peaceful minds are easier to tune
I know you've been vilified by your friends and I
Know you're feeling, like they don't understand
Well we're light on demands no one's running a plan
So quit making your stand and I swear that we'll all understand

Let Live
02:24
|
|||
|
Calling province and country to rescind their stares
And venture back to the great beyond
Where they'll find their concerns align with local demand
And they can finally see us off
Well I'm a simple man with such a simple plan
You'd think the universe plays it fine
But there's always an exception with some wicked perception
Who can't help but give judgement a try
They're just your average fool
they force some ancient rule
And they don't even understand why
So let the people be different let the people feel safe
And can we get back to our lives?
Oh those callous kids with their rotten hands are free
Sounds like more than you can say, but you try it anyway
Calling all you opposers all you twisted composer
Who seek vengeance of every creed
What you seek is a bubble built on flimsy sand
It won't take long to dissolve, what a pity
And if you ever get it right you know you
Can come right back to home
Just let the people be different let the people feel safe
And can we get back to our lives?
Just let the people be different let the people feel safe
And can we get back to our lives?

Bummer Day
04:09
|
|||
|
Woke with a fright
Bolted upright I
guess it's that kind of day
'Cause something went wrong
After it went right it's
Never the other way
When we settle down with our negative ways
It's madness all those wasted moments
Stuck in our rooms from one Bummer Day
It's madness all those wasted moments
It never feels right
To force on a smile but
Sometimes you have to play
'Cause something went wrong
But soon It'l go right you'll be
Done with that Bummer Day
When we settle down with our negative ways
It's madness all those wasted moments
Stuck in our rooms from one Bummer Day
It's madness all those wasted moments
When we settle down with our negative ways
It's madness all those wasted moments
Stuck in our rooms from one Bummer Day
It's madness all those wasted moments
Wasted
Wasted
Wasted moments

Off My Head
03:22
|
|||
|
How'd you get away from me
Found you circling the drain
You are not a part of me
Anymore now that you're off of my head
Don't you wanna stay with me?
See all of the things to see
We have made such a great team
But you have chosen to make off finally
Now we're not a family
Colder than an evergreen
You are now apart from me
You are not a part of me
You are now apart from me
You are not a part of me

Sarah can't you at least stay for dinner
If you say you're good as gone, why'd you come over?
Oh but you're a spit fire,
You're a "pretty war"
And if you stayed you would be caught locked, right in the drawer
But you want more
it takes an army just to pull your head from the floor
I'm playing catch-up every time you speak through the door
Just leave it alone
And say what you really mean
Say what you really mean
Sarah I believed you when you were lying
You said you made your marks all alone, never used anything
Well I've taken you for many things, but never for free
I didn't think about you then, the way I think about you now
Just leave it alone
You think you heard me call you back right from the floor
I could never call you out for good
After all
If you say run I'll run
If you say run then I will run
If you say run then I will run

Fog
03:05
|

|
Along came the fog
It rolled in unannounced
To our town
Our vision closed right up
Our vision closed right up but
We do not talk about it
We do not talk about it
A long year it's been
That fog keeps us obscured
From our town
And nobody speaks up
And nobody speaks but
We do not talk about it
We do not talk about it
But now we are lost
But now we are found
The seasons take my breath away
The seasons take my breath away
And now we are lost
And now we are found

Whiter Than Snow
04:46
|

|
Now our day's done we're cleaning our machines
(And) though our work has won
We're still allowed to dream -
- my body's my own, my body's my own
When fortune fades at once
It drags you through the weeds
All your gazes are done
(But) you're still allowed to see -
- your body's your own, your body's your own
And the strands are falling like the leaves
On a chilly autumn breeze
And I know, oh I know just where they'll go
To a place whiter than snow
Now we wait alone our dust is not appeased
Made our graves a phone
(But) we're still allowed to be -
- our body's our own, our body's our own
And the plans are falling like debris
Caught blinded by the fear
And I know, oh I know just where they'll go
If you've been there you would know
Let me take you to a place whiter than snow
Whiter than snow
Whiter than snow

Never Not Punk
02:02
|

|
Welcome to my home
I know I've kept it a mess
The seasons change, yet I remain
Until I've found my place
Sometimes I can't shake the feeling
That I've made too many mistakes
The seasons change, yet I remain
Writing my worries away
Don't be mad at punk rock it did us no harm
It watched as we struggled but made no remarks
I'm sure there's a reason we will not go far,
But don't be mad at punk rock 'cause it's who we are.
