Shaving
Your Life
early come one winters morning
i packed my bags and said
goodbye
i knew my mind was made
up
and then she cried and asked
me why
i had run
i heard the world calling
my name
had to find a better place
had to take a chance and
get away
wake up to a different point
of view
look to my better half
but i dont see you
5000 miles away
i left a life of ignorance
i did not understand
but to me it makes more
sense
our lives go on
while we procrastinate
feeling okay
watching as the blue skies
turn to gray
got nothing to say
later on a new spring morning
i felt my strength come
back around
i knew id come full circle
left with the wisdom that
i found
i had to run
i heard my home calling
my name
back to a better place
back to somewhere i knew
i could stay
watch days go by
while we procrastinate
feeling okay
funny how it all turns out
when you start to try
i dont know where to run
i see that place in front
of you
the things i thought were
not true
i see the fires burning
you
got nothing
back
Mary Melody
ive got this thing about you
now
i tried to understand
so baby let me show you
how
you changed my life the
day you showed up at my door
ive got this notion in my
head
if i go forward then i jump
back again into my routine of misery
i try harder just to get
along today
cant see things through
got just one chance left
and im barely hangin on
what can i do
when im with you
it's all i got
my forbidden pleasure and
a life of smoking pot
it's who i am and i cant
change
the stops have been removed
but then our lives are still
the same again
thats who i am
our days on earth are short
i know
with a little new direction
i can find out where to
go
and maybe when i get there
baby ill see you
oh mia just wanna see ya
cause your my left footed
girl
oh baby
just dont say maybe
cause youre my left footed
girl
back
B-Side
i know exactly where youve been
but i dont fear you
i know its harder to give
in
but i dont hear you
i feel a change
somethings in the air its
all around my head
i know you try
to put the blame on me
i throw it back instead
so here we go again kickin
it with friends
burn another joint and get
right to the point
falling on my own
got no place to go
wait for me outside
ill take you for a ride
in my life
on the b side
ill never leave
its just the place for me
a home away from home
another down a couple more
to go
the only way ive known
dont wait for me
ill meet you there
if im not with you
i dont care
when everything just goes
your way
and its supposed to stop
you
but you just cant say
back
Days Away
that's me staring out my window
different man than i was
before
i was scared with no hesitation
kept me running for the
door
when i spoke
well my words fell away
yeah
into something that i can't
deny
i was confronted by a nasty
reputation ???
a never ending circle washed
me up to see the lie
in my mind that was ever
so elusive
hidden deep beneath a plastic
shine
i had to wonder if i'd ever
really figure out
what it was i was trying
to find
so along was i ever thinking
did i ever really understand
i was covered by a wave
of confusion
showing in my shaking hands
tonight
i was in a situation
did i wanna just take control
or run
but i never checked my opinion
still just laying silent
in the sun
days away
the one mistake that i made
days away
coming in the air to save
me now
back
Bridges
how can you tell me this land
free
two party system hypocrisy
trust in them with our lives
they're still the ones
who decide your fate
your destination
who's in control of our
lives
burn your bridges to the
ground
forget all the freedom that
you've found
i can see them from miles
away
but i don't hear what they
say do you
all those suits on capitol
hill
they're on my mind
they're making me ill
important thing is what
they're doing
i don't really care
i don't really give a fuck
who they're screwin'
do you blieve in your freedom
stand up for your rights
do what you choose
burn your bridges to the
ground
forget all the freedom that
you've found
i can see them from miles
away
but i don't hear what they
say
do you

We'll Start To Worry When The
Cynics Start Believing
i took a walk through your world
today
nice place to visit but
i wouldn't want to stay
i want to see how other
people live
remote control and not a
thought to give
we're going to get up
we're going to get even
we'll start to worry when
the cynics start believing
after visiting
i'm sure i'll feel fine
i'll be placated by the
things in my mind
locked on the inside while
i'm out here running free
i might be crazy but at
least it's really me
but i won't believe what
they say
won't ever take
what they gave away
i won't negate
call me insane
i might be crazy but at
least i won't play their fuckin game
i took a walk through your
world today
nice place to visit but
i wouldn't want to stay
i want to see how other
people get by
sense of security by living
a lie
we're going to get up
we're going to get even
we'll start to worry when
the cynics start believing
but i won't believe what
they say
won't ever take
what they gave away
i won't negate
call me insane
i might be crazy but at
least i won't play their fuckin game
were gonna get up
were gonna get even
we'll start to worry when
the cynics start believing
were gonna get up
were gonna get even
we'll start to worry when
the cynics start believing

Weird Beard
the night was dark
the seas were rough
the port lay straight ahead
the booze ran out
the men grew tired
and this is what they said:
"captain if you cannot find
a place to set her down
then you'll be sleeping
right along with this vessel in the ground"
well the jolly roger pulled
through
and made it to the land
we disembarked
went into town with vengence
in our hand
the children cried
the woman sight
the men just turn their
heads
so with a smile we chated
loud and this is what we said
"ooohhoooh
raise'em in the air
we'll knock you up
and slap you down
and never seem to care
ooohooohh
another one for me
cause we're the filthy vermin
that will set you people
free"
with nothing left for us
to drink
the night was winding down
but still the girls kept
swaggering
and still hanging around
oh! mister can you tell
me where i can find a man
the only thing that you
will find is the back side of my hand!
"ooohhoooh
raise'em in the air
we'll knock you up
and slap you down
and never seem to care
ooohooohh
another one for me
we're the filthy vermin
that will set you people
free
we're the filthy vermin
that will set you people
free
ooohhoooh
raise'em in the air
we'll knock you up
and slap you down
and never seem to care
ooohooohh
another one for me
we're the filthy vermin
that will set you people
free
we're the filthy vermin
that will set you people
free"

time she was mad
i'd buy california

make it my pad

I mix it up I wash It down now
I guess it's all I ever
learned to do when I'm with you
last chance second nature
I see a road that leads
right to your door. do I want more?
now I'm hearin everybody
talk and then I ask myself
what exactly am I supposed
to do?
yes I'm leavin
yes I'm leavin you behind
I'm still believing
what we had was really never
mine
lookin back a blank expression
penetrated silence into
me
and I'm startin to bleed
what do I need?
who do I talk to?
confidence is long since
passed away
but I'm here to say
now I see the people walk
by (I watch them pass)
coroded minor notes
playin in the back end of
my mind
yes I'm leavin
yes I'm leavin you behind
I'm still believing
what we had was really never
mine

the less i feel is the less
i know
i don't mean to tell you
so
cause now i've gone out
in mind
and my mind aches the way
you do
i just wanna see it through
cause all i have is when
i go alone
the less i feel is the less
on top
i don't mean to make you
stop
when everything is going
fine
the fort i build is where
i die
but i don't mean to make
you cry
but all i have is when i
go away
i'll practice in my room
you'll watch the things
that i do
i'll practice in my room
when i leave
girl don't you know i'm
gonna miss you
the less i feel is the less
on top
i don't mean to make you
stop
now that i'm not by your
side
cause all this time i'm
wasting now
i just can't be headed south
got to do it in my own damn
way
i'll practice in my room
you'll watch the things
that i do
i'll practice in my room
when i leave
girl don't you know i'm
gonna miss you

Booze Cruise
we hit the road
we had ten hours left on
our drive
level of sanity going out
the window
who knows what lays ahead
and all i see is the endless
headlights flying away
you're sick of me ???
i'm sick of you
this one through
to turn around to walk away
you'll be leaving
but i'll be here to stay
one way to go
the direction undetermined
rand mcnally goes flying
out the window
with empty bottles and broken
spirits
the endless headlights are
flying away
when i was younger
i leapt at the chance
now that i'm older i wonder
if i had it to do all over
again
would i do anything different
way too much time
and bullshit on my mind
i feel like i'm fallinf
to pieces
the smoke surrounds your
head
you don't wanna be there
i can hear you when you're
falling
back
All American Badass
going out on friday night
drinking with your good
friends
work for the man
do the best you can
to make it to the weekend
everybody's coming out
we're gonna have a good
time
just forget all the bullshit
and everything will be fine
get to the show things start
to go
and everybody's swaying
drinks in the air
and we don't care
cause the band just starting
playing
guy walks by with the look
in his eye
and we know what he's doing
he's just out to find about
the faces he can ruin
fight fight fight
and you think its right
cause your always fuckin'
wasted
you're gonna go to the punk
rock show
to rearrange some faces
fight fight fight and you
think its right
testosterone abuser
your gonna go to the punk
rock show
but your just a fuckin'
loser
don't look now
i heard a pow
and there's a girl a crying
you let the one fly
and hit her in the eye
and on the floor she's lying
your bros all thought you
were pretty cool when they saw you deck her
I thought you knew what
steroids do to your drunken little pecker
