“Days Like Today”
Its days like today when I wanted to say
That everything will be ok
And the world can’t shit on us for too much longer
Cause every day we grow stronger and stronger my friends
And we won’t ever have to worry again
This is for my friends and for my youth and for the truth
And for the sun the moon and the stars
And fuck all the cars that I’ll never be able to afford
And this is for saying hello instead of goodbye
Instead of goodbye
And we won’t ever have to worry again, again
And I don’t ever want to work again
Oh no, I’m never going back
“You Don’t Know”
Another bad day, but I keep living anyway
And what can I say when I’ve had everything taken away
And it hurts me so now, just to know now
That your over there and I’m over here
And there’s so much space in between us
I want to be closer to you, and closer to perfection
And closer to you
But you don’t know how much I feel,
I feel for you
And now that’s why I sing, I sing it all for you
Its getting harder day to day just to go through
Without something real to hold onto
I want to hold onto you
Everything I say is true, truth is all I could ever give to you
But you don’t know how much I feel,
I feel for you
And now that’s why I sing, I sing it all for you
Say the words I want to hear, just tell them to me now and here
Because I just need to know, exactly where do you stand
Or better yet are you falling?
Because I already fell on my face for you
On my face for you
“Dreams”
I don’t want to wake up to be alone
But every night I see you again
But when I wake up there isn’t a god damn thing
But with a girl like that who needs anything else
But I don’t know how much more I can take
When will I wake up from this nightmare?
I don’t care, I don’t care, I just don’t care
as long as your there then I don’t care
as long as your there
Dreams or another state of reality
Unconsciousness is the only place for me to be
And I don’t want to wake up
“1929”
And this is for 1929
And this for make sure I turn out fine
And this is for being a bright spot in a wasteland
And this is for caring just where my feet land
And I don’t care where I go
Cause I know, that I’ll always know
Just where my home is
Yeah
And this is for putting up with all of my crap
And this is for making sure that I don’t get trapped
In a world that can suck us all under
In a world that’s like no other
And I don’t care where I go
Cause I know, that I’ll always know
Just where my home is
Yeah
And this is mostly for always being there
And mostly for always giving a care
But mostly because I just wanted to let you know
That I will always love you
“Four Cylinders of Fury”
Hey there little rich boy
Looks like you’ve got a new car
So what you got under the hood to get you real far
(Well he says) I’ve got me god knows how many horses
(And he say) I’ve got me god knows how much muscle
All I know is it’s the best my mommy’s money could buy
But I’ve got me 4 cylinders of fury
And I’ve got me 2.2 liters of hell
And as long as these tires are hitting the street
These 4 cylinders will never be beat
And sometimes I wish I had 6 or 8
And sometimes I thing if I were rich then live would be great
But its just not that easy
At least not for me
Because where I’m living you don’t get anything for free
But I’ve got me 4 cylinders of fury
And I’ve got me 2.2 liters of hell
And as long as these tires are hitting the street
These 4 cylinders will never be beat
And now there’s nothing
Now there’s nothing to slow me down
“Tired”
I’m tired, so tired
Of everything lately
Of not having you and not knowing me
Because I’m tired, so tired
Of running around I pass out
Of drinking until I black out
It ain’t me
Because I’m tired, so tired
Of playing the same three chords
Of playing the same three chords
But its who I am
But I’m
So tired, I can’t sleep
I’m so tired that I just can’t get no relief
I’m so tired that I just can’t sleep
“24 hours”
“How was your day” (its what she said to me)
“Oh perfect, just perfect today” (its what I said to her)
“Went into work, boss told me I’m a slob”
“Grab you shit and find another job,
Because now you out on the street,
But with a face like that people are easy to meet.”
(its what he said to me)
24 hours till my day is complete
24 hours till I’m back up on my feet
And the only thing that keeps me pushing through
Its you, its you
“But he didn’t have much to say,
just started to laugh as I walked away.
So I turned around and went back in,
Knocked the teeth right out of his stupid little grin,
I wiped the blood off of my hand on to his shirt
Now you know just how it feels
And I hope that it hurt
Because now you know how it feels to be
Unappreciated and under paid
24 hours till my day is complete
24 hours till I’m back up on my feet
And the only thing that keeps me pushing through
Its you, its you
“Tomorrow is Another Day”
Had a bad day today, a little worse than yesterday
But I can’t get carried away
Had a bad day today, a little worse than yesterday
But tomorrow is another day
Cause I’ve got blood in my veins, and thoughts in my brain
Words on my tongue and life in my lungs
But tomorrow don’t be a bitch to me
Cause I don’t need your misery
But if I’ve got no choice you’ll still hear my voice
Screaming out at you
Had a bad day today, a little worse than yesterday
But I can’t let this shit get to me
Had a bad day today, a little worse than yesterday
But tomorrow is another day
Cause I’ve got blood in my veins, and thoughts in my brain
Words on my tongue and life in my lungs
But tomorrow don’t be a bitch to me
Cause I don’t need your misery
But if I’ve got no choice you’ll still hear my voice
Screaming out at you
Anymore, I’m not taking anymore
I don’t know what I do this for anymore
But tomorrow don’t be a bitch to me
Cause I don’t need your misery
But if I’ve got no choice you’ll still hear my voice
Screaming out at you
Had a good day today, a little better than yesterday
But I’m not gonna rewrite my history
Had a good day today, a little better than yesterday
But tomorrow is another day
Cause I’ve got blood in my veins, and thoughts in my brain
Words on my tongue and life in my lungs
“Last Night”
Can’t stop thinking about last night
When everything seemed to go just right
And as I walked by you seemed to catch my eye
Said “Do you remember me?” I said “I remember you.”
“What are you gonna do when the bar lets out?”
“I don’t know, but I know that I’ve got no doubt in my mind
that you soon will find that whatever I do I’ll do it with you.”
But I know that this will never last
But tonight were gonna have a blast
No matter the duration of this little situation
We’re gonna have some fun
Even if its for one night
Can’t stop thinking about last night
When everything seemed to go just right
And I can’t forget the heat of the moment
And when the night drew to a close and we lost all of our cloths
Laying intertwined, feeling just fine
Do you realize how beautiful you are?
But I know that this will never last
But tonight were gonna have a blast
No matter the duration of this little situation
We’re gonna have some fun
Even if its for one night
And as I wake up your still sleeping,
Kiss you forehead because I’m leaving you today
“Blood for Visa”
I’ve got no sympathy for the rich when they bitch about
How I’m stealing money away from them
Click, click another downloaded song
You’d better get it fast because it won’t be too long
Until they shut down the server, shut down the server
But don’t you got something better to do
Like smash your Rolex or crash your Bently
Your financial problems just don’t upset me at all
The industry can choke on 5%
because I can barley find the money to pay my rent
And before I get my checks they’ve already be spent
About this time of month I give blood to
Master Card, Discover Card and Visa
and Visa
But then you go and put your ads on TV
Where you’ve got Shakira trying to tell me
How I’m stealing from her family
But I don’t realize or see
When your eating off of gold plated plates
And getting diamond rings from all of your dates
And living in a mansion that you flaunt on TV
Looks like prosperity to me
The industry can choke on 5%
because I can barley find the money to pay my rent
And before I get my checks they’ve already be spent
About this time of month I give blood to
master card, dicover card and visa
And visa
Debt, debt, I want out of it
Out of the red and into the clear
Give me some music that I want to hear
I was born free, but what ever happened to me
I was born free, but what ever happened to me
What happened to me
It happened to me
Feed your greed off a million people’s dreams
And lead them into your latest little schemes
Like american idol, well you can kiss my ass
Because I can see through your limo’s tinted glass
Because it’s all about the money you don’t care about the music
You don’t care about the music
“Nothing to Sing”
I got me nothing to sing about, anymore
I got me nothing to sing about
Same shit day in and day out
There’s nothing left to talk about
I got me nothing to sing about, anymore
When will she come along
Inspire me to play another song
Cause its been way too long since I felt that way
And I would give just about anything to hear her say
“I need you, I want you, oh baby I love you.”
31 days now, 31 ways now
31 days now
for me to sit with nothing to do
31 ways now, 31 days now
31 ways now
for me to sit with nothing to do
for me to sit and wait for chapter 2
I wanna throw my status quo
Right up now, right up out the window
Right out the window
I got me nothing to sing about
Here we go
“Here We Go”
Champaign dreams all gone away
Gotta start living like tomorrow is another day
For 4 years you were my best friend
But now our relationship come to an end
Here we go
Where we don’t know
And I’m driving down that road for the last time
Alarm buzzer ring earlier every day
Sometimes I miss that life and wish I would have never gone away
But life goes on even when I don’t want it to
At least I can dream of holding onto you
Here we go
Where we don’t know
And I’m driving down that road for the last time
Raise a glass and say goodbye to today
Blackout, pass out, say hello to tomorrow
With no address to return to
“No News is Good News”
No news is good news, but bad news is better
At least that the message I get every time I turn on my television set
From CNN and MSNBC, its all the constantly tell me
No more for me, no more for me
I choose to live my life peacefully
No more for me, no more for me
I can see through your hypocrisy
No more for me, no more for me
We won’t be another casualty
Cause we choose to live
Turned on the news today and it’s the same old story
Another kid dies, for another man's deluded sense of glory
Reading the headlines I can’t seem to find any sense of humanity
Reading the headlines I can’t seem to find any sense of humanity
Turned on the news today and it’s the same old shit
Am I the only one getting just a little tired of watching it?
No more for me, no more for me
I choose to live my life peacefully
No more for me, no more for me
I won’t practice hypocrisy
No more for me, no more for me
We won’t be another casualty
Cause we choose to live
You more than just a number, your more than just a number
We’re all behind you
Come home soon
Right home, Right Now!
“Gotta Let Me Know”
Signals got crossed and
I got lost inside of your confusion
These messages are mixed
And I don’t know if I’m gonna get this all fixed now
Baby you gotta let me know right now
Maybe
When your words they reach my ear
I don’t know what I’m supposed to hear
Translation stole the meaning
And all your phrases are defeating
My mind
“Four More Years”
Four more years, four more years
Time to cash in on everybody’s fears
You’ve done it, you’ve won it
Now what is the price that we pay
You’ve done it, you’ve won it
I wish I could go back to yesterday
When I didn’t have to worry
At least not about
All the stupid things
We really don’t need to worry about
And I doubt thing will ever be the same
And it’s a shame
But that’s the way it is
Four more years, four more years
Time to cash in on everybody’s fears
You’ve done it, you’ve won it
Now what is the price that we pay
You’ve done it, you’ve won it
I wish I could go back to yesterday
Sick to my stomach when I turned on my TV
Because I was expecting to see
A landslide, a landslide
That I would ride to paradise
But instead hope dies
Instead hope dies
Would you steer this train into a brick wall?
Just to see the wall crumble and fall?
Don’t forget the insurance money
“Dead Horse”
If I keep on betting on a dead horse
Ain’t ever going to change my course
Superfection, looking for perfection
But nothing really seems to come my way
I can feel my luck coming right in this time
I know I’m going to finally win
But it’s the same old situation again
Take my money to the ticket man
But all he does is stand and stare at me
Looks like not money is coming round here
But to tell you the truth I really don’t care
I can feel my luck coming right in this time
I know I’m going to finally win
But it’s the same old situation again
I should have stopped before I started
But I can’t go back in time so the fault is all mine
“I’m OK”
The surface of your skin
All the beauty held within
But the bottled up pain always seems to win
When you let the blood flow
Do you know where the scars go?
Even though she’s crying inside
Always got to find a way just to say
I’m Ok
I ain’t living on the streets
And I’ve got a job putting shoes on my feet
Even though every day is the same
They tell me I have no reason to complain
I’ve got no reason to complain
Even though I’m dieing inside
Got to find a way just to say
I’m Ok
Whats wrong with this picture
Straighten out my lens
Somebody drop a brick right onto my head
Cause I need a little sense knocked into my brain
It ain’t the same
We’re all losing at this game
I ain’t living on the streets
And I’ve got a job putting shoes on my feet
Even though every day is the same
They tell me I have no reason to complain
When you let the blood flow
Do you know where the scars go?
Even though we’re crying inside
Always got to find a way just to say
I’m Ok
“Mindless / Sightless”
and I’m a patriot
some say they are but can they handle it?
You can wave your flag till you arm goes numb
And fall right on the floor
But in the situation we’re in
We need just a little bit more
Just a little bit
Solidarity is alright with me
But I could use a little activity
Just a little bit
Mindless, sightless
Loyalty it aint’t for me
No it ain’t for me
And I’m a patriot
Some say they are but do they give a shit?
And God can bless this place till your blue in the face
But what are you going to do?
Mindless, sightless
Loyalty it aint’t for me
No it ain’t for me
“Here We Go Again”
Happy birthday said Lorelei
Its another year that you didn’t die
So I jump for joy because I’m happy to be living
All the things I really want
Is everything I already got
And I’m happy and content within me
At least that what I’d like to think
But here we go again
For all the books I never read
And the thoughts are running through my head
At least I know exactly what I’m thinking
To the days that just won’t ever end
And the feelings that I’ve got to defend
At least I know exactly what I’m feeling
I thought I knew what I was thinking
But here we go again
Somebody come, help me along
I wish I didn’t have to write this song
But here we go again
“Gone”
What did I do to deserve this?
I never hurt anyone on purpose
A giant wave came and washed my life away
I’d do anything to rewrite that day
In the blink of an eye
No chance to even say goodbye
Because they’re gone
What did I do to deserve this?
I know that you did this on purpose
I.E.D. all that happened to me
Now I’ve got no more memory
When I open up my eyes
My whole life is one great big surprise
Because its gone
As the whole world disintegrates
By now we’ve already sealed our fates
As the ice caps all melt away
Nothing else that I can say
Because we’re gone
