Behind the hazel eyes lies something deep inside.
It's evil and malicious with the truths you cannot hide.
You came in a pretty picture and wrapped up in a bow.
Somehow I failed to see selfishness began to grow.
I should have stayed away from your poisoned touch.
I should have walked out and not cared so much.
How was I to know temptation would lure me like it did.
The siren song trapped in and now I can't get rid...
OF YOU!
There's something wrong with you.
Something wrong with you.
There's something wrong with you.
Now the dagger's in my chest dug in way too deep.
Heart stopped, vision blurred, the blood begins to seep.
And as I fall unconscious I look to the sky and see
The downfall of my existence was right in front of me...
IT WAS YOU!
There's something wrong with you
There's something wrong with you
There's something wrong with you
THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU!

No Clue

Hey mister tough guy, take a look around.
Looking for some brah respect where there's none to be found.
Look at little beauty queen, flirting like a ho.
This ain't the catwalk baby, it's a fucking punk rock show.
It's so crystal clear, that you can't fucking see
That's not a stick up your ass, no, it's a fucking tree.
Self centered egotist, and that, there is no doubt,
You'd start your own fires just to put them out.
Time to close the book, we've got to turn the page.
Cause I'm so sick and tired of all the players on the stage.
Say you hated high school, the in crowd was so mean,
Now you walk and strut your stuff, the cool guy of the scene.
Got the band to get the girl now it's cool to be you -
Spouting off your nonsense, when you don't have a clue.
Time to close the book, we've got to turn the page.
Cause I'm so sick and tired of all the players on the stage.
When are you going to grow up?
It's time to start acting your age.
Someday you will realize
That you're just a player on the stage.
You're just a player on the stage.

The Rebound
02:43
|

|
In another messed up situation,
Been betrayed and it's aggravation.
Feeling like a venom bite,
Realizing it's not alright.
Say you've felt another heartbreak,
And one more you know you just can't take.
You clamber for something to dull the pain
As it's settling in once again.
I can stay for just a little while
Good for now is your brand new style.
I'm your bounce back,
I'm your rebound.
Just your pick me up when you've been let down.
I'm that quick fix
When you're in town.
Always come back when you want me around.
Now you know that I'm your man,
An emergency back up plan.
Help you forget about the past
We'll take it slow or make it last.
So if life's a total bore
You can come up and knock on my door.
And you know I'll let you in.
We can let the good times begin.
I know break ups are hard to get through,
But you don't have to go it alone if you don't want to.

Ready To Fight

It was just a matter of time, before they took away your voice.
It was just a matter of time, before they gave you no choice.
They can try to change the constitution but it won't stop the revolution.
They can try to change the frequency but it won't stop your destiny.
They say it's better for the nation, I say it's time for liberation.
Taking a stand in our homeland is the only way that we can be.
Armed and ready to fight (we fight, we fight).
The guns won't fall silent tonight.
So the FCC gets stronger everyday, while they choose, citizens guide the way.
Who are the ones that think censorship's ok?
Who are the patriots that tell us what and what not to say?
My hands are tied as you tell me how to live.
My ammunition's in my voice and my rights I will not give.

Smash My Radio
03:00

Hanging out at home on Friday night.
Me and the gang were feeling alright.
I turned on the radio and all I hear is bad retro.
I want to hear some rock and roll tonight.
Cruising down the road doing 75.
Letting loose, just going for a drive.
But everything on the radio, sounds the same and has got to go.
I need something to make me feel alive.
I wanna smash my radio
Wanna smash my radio
I wanna smash my radio
Tired of the noise on the radio.
The story's been told a thousand times before.
But no one seems to care anymore.
When you can turn the dial And find nothing that is worthwhile.
The music scene's become such a bore.
Time to turn the radio off.
Smash it up can't stand the talk.
You skip the songs we think are great
And make us listen to the shit we hate.

House Familiar

So you're tired of the same old story
You got the guts but get no glory.
Got opinions but people cut no slack,
You speak your mind and they just turn their back.
Well it's time to get up and try again.
Go to the place that we've already been.
A place that will greet you with a smile.
A place where you'll want to stay for a while.
Sometimes you want to cry but it's alright.
And you wanna die but you've got to fight.
You've got bridges to build and fences to mend.
But you're not alone you've got a friend...
In the house familiar.
Times are hard and there's no doubt,
With life, luck and love you're striking out.
Got the facts that are so profound.
You're speaking up but they just cut you down.
So baby girl just take my hand,
And I'll lead you to the promised land.
Look around and you will see
Fitting in is not priority.

No Way Out

I feel like I'm trapped in a fucking box.
I've lost my key and you've changed the locks.
I really really need to get away.
I can't take it anymore,
Trapped here screaming on the floor.
I really can't listen to another thing you say.
Girl you got me locked away, I know there's no way out.
Tied me up so you can't hear me shout.
NO WAY OUT!
Girl you got me dying here, I know I can't get free.
Won't somebody come and rescue me.
NO WAY OUT!
All the walls are closing in,
Everything gets under my skin.
I really really think I'm gonna crack.
I can't believe the way I feel.
I can't believe anything is real.
I really can't understand why I took you back.
It's slowly getting harder to breathe.
I wonder what else you got up your sleeve.
I really really need to break this curse.
I wanna get out and get some space,
But then I think of not seeing your face.
I really think that feels even worse.

I Hate My Job

Up in the morning at 6 am,
Still I got no money to spend.
Makes me crazy and I wanna scream, bust my ass for someone else's dream.
I can't wait to go home again.
I hate my job and I hate you too.
I'm sick of you telling me what to do.
If you keep getting in my face, I'm gonna go nuts all over the place.
I'm not gonna take anymore from you.
I'm so sick of work and there's nothing I can do,
Kill myself for no respect - they haven't got a clue.
I'm not gonna kill myself (kill myself for you).
I'm not gonna kill myself (I'm gonna see it through).
Quarter after four, almost time to go.
Cash my check and get some dough.
Can't wait to get home tonight - gonna call the boys, it'll be alright.
But if you push me again, I'm gonna blow.

Liar Liar

Don't believe anything you say
Don't believe anything you say
Don't believe anything you say
Why don't you just go away
Everything you say is crap, you're a liar and that's a fact.
No one can depend on you.
Annoying asshole, double face, biggest jerk in the human race.
No one can depend on you.
Liar! Liar! Don't believe anything you say
Liar! Liar! I wish you'd just go away.
Lie to everyone you meet. Talking to you is a dead end street.
No one can depend on you.
Only look out for number one. You think you're cool, and you think you're fun,
But no one can depend on you.
Go away and leave me alone, don't try to call me on the telephone.
No one can depend on you.
Treat your friends however you feel. Lie and cheat and fucking steal.
No one can depend on you

Open Road

Sometimes you want to get away
From everything that you know
Sometimes you want to hit the streets
Just pack up your things and go
Well the highway's white lines are calling my name
The horizon beckons and calls
Maybe we can try to escape
From the schools, jobs, and malls
And when the world's got you down
And you've got no where to run.
Get up on that exit ramp
Get out and find your fun.
I love the blacktop
It gets me where I wanna go
Takes me to anywhere
And that's the place I wanna know
So when the grind's burnt you out
It's time to get some air
Pack your boys into the car
And go to a place that doesn't care
Doesn't matter what direction
Makes you feel alive
All the roads are there for you
Whether it's 80 or 95
Sometimes you wanna get away

Get Wild

We're gonna go out and stay all night
Get a little crazy it'll be alright
Tonight - We're gonna get wild tonight
We're gonna go meet up with the girls and boys
Raise some hell, make some fuckin' noise
Tonight - We're gonna get wild tonight
Work bell rings and I hit the road
Gotta get home and get to the show
Tonight - We're gonna get wild tonight
Stayin' up till dawn won't take it's toll
I gotta get somewhere and play some rock n roll
Tonight - We're gonna get wild tonight

W.T.F.

I play the bass guitar
I love to play at bars
We practice at my place
Neighbors call me a disgrace
Come up and say hello
When you see me at a show
16 years and we're still going strong
When I play I drink beer
I keep a six pack near
I drink one down per song
And hope the set's not long
Steve Ambergris on drums
Taco pizza and beer runs
My drums are the ones with the dinosaurs
My name is Captain G
And here's a brand new key
So grab yourself another drink
And pour one more for me
For 16 years we've been afloat
Sailing on this punk rock boat
Mopping beer and women off the floor
Well straight up from the fog
There comes a salty dog
Truman is my name and
Singing is the game
If you need a guy
You could give me a try
I'll fill you with a little Irish pride
I'm the new guy here
It's been about a year
I tackle life's sorrows
By drowning them in beer
And if I don't play well
I just turn up loud as hell
So you just can't frickin tell
I AM A MIGHTY WHALE
AND THIS HERE IS MY TALE
I SWIM FROM SEA TO SEA
I'M AS HAPPY AS CAN BE
AND WHEN MY TIME IS THROUGH
I'LL HAVE A PARTING GIFT FOR YOU
JUST WAIT FOR IT TO WASH UP ON THE SHORE
AMBERGRIS
AMBERGRIS
WHAT THE FUCK IS AMBERGRIS?
