WORLD'S ON HEROIN
Stevenson, Egerton

The world's on heroin, I'm on strike against all this laziness
I try to go for all despite all the underachievers

From the government to the drive thru guy
Delayed results with no reasons why
My only guess they must be high

I want to put an end to all of them but I don't know where to begin
'Cause I'm pretty sure the world's on heroin

The world's on heroin, everybody is standing in my way
I try to use my brain but stupidity is thrown in my face

I'm a coffee guy in a stoner place
And the world keeps turning at a turtle's pace
Get it over with, check into N.A.

I want to put an end to all of them but I don't know where to begin
'Cause I'm pretty sure the world's on heroin

If I had my way I'd prefer if everyone was on speed
I'm so sick of the no can do and the failures you concede
At any rate from the looks of things, everyone's nodding out
But me

The world's on heroin, too many lazy morons in my face
The world's on heroin, everybody acts like a zombie

I'm not saying that I'm better than them
I don't have the kind of time to spend
With slacker types trying to be my friend

I want to put an end to all of them but I don't know where to begin
'Cause I'm pretty sure the world's on heroin
Yeah I'm pretty sure the world's on heroin
Heroin

I'LL GET THERE
Alvarez, Stevenson

Whatever happened to all my plans
All the fun I was supposed to have
Where did I go wrong

It passed me by, I let it slip away
By working all the time
Burning out my mind
Wasting precious life

It's still summer somewhere and I think I better go there
(Anywhere but here)
This could be my last chance for me to change my life
It's still summer somewhere and I really need to go there
It's still summer somewhere and I'll get there

I let love walk out the door
'Cause I don't know how to have any fun
I pushed love out the door
'Cause I'm never at ease with anyone
No screen, no phone, no fax
Work will wait until I get back
I'm gone so long
I'm never coming back, never going back

It's still summer somewhere and I think I better go there
(Anywhere but here)
This could be my last chance for me to change my life
It's still summer somewhere and I really need to go there
It's still summer somewhere and I'll get there

It's gone for good, not only until next year
They'll be no next year if I don't get out of here

It's still summer somewhere and I think I better go there
(Anywhere but here)
This could be my last chance for me to change my life
It's still summer somewhere and I really need to go there
It's still summer somewhere (anywhere but here)
It's still summer somewhere (anywhere but here)
It's still summer somewhere (any way)
And I'll get there

I don't know, maybe Mexico

LIFE ON THE ROAD
Stevenson

Crabs, scabies
The glamour, the fashion
Life on the road is pretty fuckin' cool to me

Farts, feet
The romance, the passion
Life on the road is pretty fuckin' cool to me

Too many people bitch and whine
About being on the road too much of the time
Yeah being on tour does take its toll
But it's way better than sitting at home

Alright now, it's a flat tire

Alkies, addicts
The vomit, the rat piss
Life on the road is pretty fuckin' cool to me
So squat it and thrust it
'Cause you are in Russia
Life on the road is pretty fuckin' cool to me

Bring it on right now about getting no sleep
On the dirty floor of the broken van
Yeah, Life on the road is pretty fuckin' cool
As a matter of fact it's very very cool
Yeah life on the road is pretty fuckin' cool to me

FAIRWEATHER FRIEND
Alvarez

Hey how you been, nice to see you again, my fairweather friend
It's too cool to see a face from way back when, my fairweather friend
When I'm riding high, you're always by my side
When I'm laid low you abandon me

How do you do, what can I do for you, my fairweather friend
Better use me up now while I'm still of use, my fairweather friend
When I'm riding high, you're always by my side
When I'm laid low you abandon me

(I don't see you around here anymore)
I really don't have the time for you, my fairweather friend
Don't want to have to be nice to you, my fairweather friend

When I'm riding high, you're always by my side
When I'm laid low you abandon me

(I don't see you around here anymore)
I really don't have the time for you, my fairweather friend
Don't want to have to be nice to you, my fairweather friend
There's no room in my life for you, my fairweather friend
Time to say goodbye to you, my fairweather friend

PERFECTION
Stevenson

I'm the kind of guy who never gets there
With too many expectations
I don't mind
Every time I try to make concessions
I feel like a dope for thinking
She's so fine
Then I'm back where I started from

I won't settle for blank affection
I'll hold out for total perfection

So for now I'm caught in the middle
I'm waiting for the perfect someone
All in time
Till then I've got my friends to count on
They give me all the strength I need
To ease my mind
Time for life to be divine

I won't settle for blank affection
I'll hold out for total perfection

You pretend and live a lie
Stain yourself with compromise

I intend to conquer the day
Make my love in a better way in the end

I won't settle for blank affection
I'll hold out for total perfection
I won't settle for blank affection
I'll hold out for total perfection

GREEDY
Stevenson, Egerton

Everyone's greedy, that's how society got this way
Everyone's greedy, it's all about more for me

You say you don't care about money
How do you get a loaf of bread
Or other shit that you use

Everyone's greedy, that's how society got this way
Everyone's greedy, it's all about more for me me me

If you're telling me you're not greedy
Then you can give me all your stuff, I could use a car like yours

Everyone's greedy, even you and your buddies
Everyone's greedy, it's just human nature, everyone's greedy
We'll see how long you last without your stereo
Everyone's greedy, it's all about more for me

No one cares if I die destitute under the park bench

UNTIL I SAY SO
Price

If I could I would but you know that I can't lie to you
If I could I'd say if you say so then I'll say yes
The sun burns so bright I can't see the hurt in your eyes
The moon buries itself behind the clouds
I can't tell what you're thinking about

Will you let me stay for a while?
Don't forget me please don't cry
Just hold me close and don't let go until I say so
Will you think of me when you smile
Do old memories bring tears to your eyes?
Just hold me close and don't let go until I say so

If you would then I would be here for you when you need me
If you would then I would not do the things that made you leave me
The stars flash and burn out but I feel your eyes burn into me
The rainbow brightens up the day and leaves me hanging on
To a few words to say

Will you let me stay for a while?
Don't forget me please don't cry
Just hold me close and don't let go until I say so
Will you think of me when you smile
Do old memories bring tears to your eyes?
Just hold me close and don't let go until I say so

You only cross my mind every second everyday
I need to unwind before I fade away

Will you let me stay for a while?
Don't forget me please don't cry
Just hold me close and don't let go until I say so
Will you think of me when you smile
Do old memories bring tears to your eyes?

Just hold me close and don't let go until I say so
Don't let go until I say so

THINK THE WORLD
Alvarez, Stevenson

I really don't care about world affairs
I keep myself in line
I really don't care about politics
It's just a waste of time

I'm not as dumb as you think I am
I might know a thing or two

I really don't care about nothing at all
But I think the world of you

I really don't care about world peace
I try not to be a jerk
I really don't care about the meaning of life
Or my place in the universe

I'm not as dumb as you think I am
I might know a thing or two
I really don't care about nothing at all
But I think the world of you

I'm not phobic, philic, sick or blind
People want to judge me

They exercise their open minds
Call me names and make fun of me

I'm not as dumb as you think I am
I might know a thing or two
I really don't care about nothing at all
But I think the world of you
I really don't care about nothing at all
But I think the world of you

I really don't care about nothing at all
But I think the world of you

HONEY PEEPS
Price

I woke up to see somebody staring at me
Through the window I knew it was you
That's how we first met I was watching you undress
I winked at you and you threw a shoe, you called the police

Honey please don't do this to me
I wanna ask you out for Saturday night
If you bail me out I know we can work it out
I picked you cause I knew that it felt right

You dropped the charges and then you drove me home
That's when I knew we were alone
I did my best to thank you gave me your name and number
And said we have a date to pick you up and don't be late

Angeline, 264-5783, the big house on the corner that looks like
A tangerine great big windows easy to see in
I took my chance and I moved in

I turned on all my charm I put my arms around you
Explained the way I met you how I never meant to hurt you
You said "you shouldn't be staring in at me like that
But I couldn't turn down my first date since I moved to town"

We went out for a year
One day her smile turned to tears
Said that we can't go on
"I've met somebody new the same way I met you yeah
And he nailed me with his charm"

Honey please don't do this to me
Stick around I think that we can work it out
Maybe what we had was never meant to last
I still look in your window when I pass your house

Maybe what we had was never meant to last
I still look in your window when I pass your house

REFRAIN
Price

I'm starting all over
I began with the words but now they're gone
If you all would sing along
I laid out the story
But I should've known the story would go all wrong
If the world would sing along

I think that you know when it's time for you to go
I'll stand and refrain

Never finished the end
We were at the beginning when I began
Story was getting good when I heard your voice so clear say
"So long my friend"

I think that you know when it's time for you to go
I'll stand and refrain
Although I never really knew you
I'm prepared to show you that
I'll take all the blame
I'll stand and refrain

Shouldn't have held on so tight
If I dare to beg I can't and now I see why
I take all the blame
Why I lie about the way I've been begging you to stay

I think that you know when it's time for you to go
I'll stand and refrain although I never really knew you
I'm prepared to show you that
I'll take all the blame
I'll stand and refrain

SILLY ME
Stevenson

I'm sorry I corrupted you - took away your youth
I'm sorry you remember it that way
I remember it was true love and you can never take that away from me
No matter how your friends and your family tried to put the blame on me

Silly me, I'm too old for you
Silly me, I corrupted you
I'm sorry that our love didn't work out quite the way we planned
And I'm sorry you remember it that way

I'm sorry you weren't old enough; I should have stayed away
I'm sorry you remember it that way
I remember it was not my fault but you could never know what it meant to me
No matter how your friends and your family couldn't get used to me

Silly me, I'm too old for you
Silly me, I corrupted you
I'm sorry that our love didn't work out quite the way we planned
And I'm sorry you remember it that way

I remember it was true love and you can never take that away from me
No matter how your friends and your family tried to put the blame on me

Silly me, I'm too old for you
Silly me, I corrupted you
I'm sorry that our love didn't work out quite the way we planned

I'm sorry you remember it that way
And I'm sorry you remember it that way

ROMANTIC JUNKIE
Stevenson, Egerton, Alvarez

All the girls think that you're the king, you're a romantic junkie
On the edge of everything you're a romantic junkie
Learned all about it on MTV
He seemed so cool, you said "that drug's for me"

Romantic junkie
They think you're really something
Romantic junkie
I know you're really nothing
Romantic junkie
I'm glad I'm not like you

Shit your pants, steal your mama's cash, you're a romantic junkie
You sold all your stuff for drugs 'cause you shot up all your money
Read all about it in Rolling Stone
Now you got a habit that won't leave you alone

Romantic junkie
She thinks you're really something
Romantic junkie
I know you're really nothing
Romantic junkie
I'm glad I'm not like you

You're so cool, I want to be just like you
You're so smooth, the girls all want to fuck you
Now you're giving head just to get your fix
It couldn't get much better than this

VIDA BLUE
Alvarez

I'm feeling cold today
Frozen to the core
I need some inspiration to pull me from the floor

Take me down the road
To a place I've never been before
Open up my eyes
Show me colors that I've never seen
Open up your mouth, give me perfect words I've never heard
I'm ready now let's go
Burn my world a southpaw curve
Fast and hard like Vida Blue

I've lived a lot of every place no where I'd call home
The look in every stranger's face
Tells me I'm alone

Take me down the road
To a place I've never been before
Open up my eyes
Show me colors that I've never seen
Open up your mouth, give me perfect words I've never heard
I'm ready now let's go
Burn my world a southpaw curve
Fast and hard like Vida Blue

Take me down the road
To a place I've never been before
Open up my eyes
Show me colors that I've never seen
Open up your mouth give me perfect words I've never heard
I'm ready now let's go
Burn my world a southpaw curve
Fast and hard like Vida Blue

UNTIL THEN
Stevenson, Alvarez

Can't wrap my arms around the pictures in my head
I've still got a ways to go
I'm always gone so we talk on the phone
When I hang up me and my hang-ups are alone

Until then I'll pretend
Until then I promised you I wouldn't bend
Until then I'll spend my time waiting until then

And how about you can you promise me you'll wait
We've still got a ways to go
Temptation rules the earth and I'm no perfect saint
My insecurities and love will have to wait

Until then I'll pretend
Until then I promised you I wouldn't bend
Until then I'll spend my time waiting until then

We're not the first to try
We're not the last to fail
But I know we can succeed
We've got to hold it up or it will fall

Until then I'll pretend
Until then I promised you I wouldn't bend
Until then I'll spend my time waiting until then
Waiting Until Then
Waiting Until Then

GOOD AS MY WORD
Egerton, Stevenson

Ain't it funny
Everybody thinks that I'm a slime
And I've never done much of anything to deserve it
It's a wonder I can function
Feels like I'm on trial
I need to set things straight so you'll know you can trust me

Always looking, never finding
Got me nothing to call my own
Always lying never trying
Always got me nowhere

I'm just as good as my word
No matter what you've heard
Don't judge me on the blown up rumors that you overheard
I'm just as good as my word
No matter what you've heard
This is a different time and place and you're a different girl

Heard a story, not to worry
It shows that you don't know
You know everyone can do both good and evil
Say you love me thinking of me
It don't make much sense
To say those things to me when you don't even trust me

Always looking, never finding
Got me nothing to call my own
Always lying never trying
Always got me nowhere

I'm just as good as my word
No matter what you've heard
Don't judge me on the blown up rumors that you overheard
I'm just as good as my word
No matter what you've heard
This is a different time and place and you're a different girl
This is now

SILENCE
Price

I still dream about you now and then
Then I wonder why I am
I still see your body in my head
I remember laying in your bed
It'll never happen again

I don't have a single thing to say
You dried me up in the three years you were mine
Silence
I don't have the words you want to hear
I can't pretend I care
Silence

I can't forget your pictures that I put away
I'll look at them again someday
I still hold your memory close to me
I've tried to share my thoughts
I thought it would never happen to me

I don't have a single thing to say
You dried me up in the three years
You were mine
Silence
I don't have the words you want to hear
I can't pretend I care
Silence

Every time I see the smile
On our daughter's face
She clears up the mistakes
And puts us both back into place
But that's a dream that I can't stand to chase

I don't have a single thing to say
You dried me up in the three years
You were mine
Silence
I don't have the words you want to hear
I can't pretend I care
Silence
Silence

ALL: Problematic

CARRY YOU
Alvarez

Once upon a time I thought I couldn't live without you
Fifteen years gone, I've come a long way without you

And if we ever meet again I got a piece of you my friend
I carry you with me

I see you now, we've got nothing in common
We've come a long way from Buckhorn and Top Ramen

But I remember every fight every crazy naked night
I carry you with me

I carry you with me
To every unfamiliar skyline that I see
You're there enshrined in memory
Where friendship never dies
I carry you with me

Every evening every day
Every morning DOA
So much left unsaid
That well never get to say

'Cause high school drop outs don't go to reunions
What's the point? I'm under no delusions

I wonder wherever you are today
Do you carry me the way
I carry you with me?
I carry you with me

SHE BROKE MY DICK
Stevenson, Egerton

She broke my dick

Getting it on with ...
I swear this really happened
I pulled my trick maneuver
That's when I heard it snappin'

She broke my dick
OOOWWWWW
She goddamn broke my dick

Ever since I met her
My life's been on the rocks
Cold ice packs and heating pads
And band aids for my ...(penis)

She broke my dick
OOOWWWWW
She goddamn broke my dick

She broke my dick
UUUUGGGGGHHHH
She goddamn broke my dick
(She broke his dick)
She broke my dick
(I broke his dick)
She goddamn broke my dick

Main vein shot with cortisone, ice pack on the rest
It hurt so much but I'd do it again
Why couldn't I have just left her unsatisfied?

"You don't mind if I leave the needle in while I
prepare the cortisone, do you?"

BETTER THAN THAT
Alvarez

Once you recognize the truth tell me what do you do?
It's inside of me and its inside of you
Addicted to the sickness its an actual fact
All I know is I hope we're better than that
All I know is I hope we're better than that

We try to lend a hand, to help our fellow man
We cooperate enough to stay alive
But what is said and done
It's all about number one
And devotion to the trinity of me, myself and I

Once you recognize the truth tell me what do you do?
It's inside of me and it's inside of you
Addicted to the sickness its an actual fact
All I know is I hope we're better than that

I remember once this guy, made my girl cry,
So I went to get a hammer to break his knees,
Nothing came of it
Was it just macho bullshit,
Or expression of the symptoms of the naked ape's disease?

And the nightmare keeps repeating
While the consciences are sleeping
Untroubled and unclean

This cool girl that I know went and had a baby
An amazing leap of faith, And when I see them
She lets me hold her kid a while
And I watch the baby smile
I thought I'd outgrown hope
But what I see there gives me reason

Once you recognize the truth tell me what do you do?
It's inside of me and its inside of you,
Addicted to the sickness its an actual fact
All I know is I hope we're better than that
All I know is I hope we're better than that
Oh we're better than that
Oh we're better than that
All I know is I hope we're better than that

WWW.SARA
Stevenson, Egerton

What went wrong? How could it take so long?
I never thought it could be so wrong this far along

Maybe it was the time you crashed my car
Maybe it was the time I pushed you around
Or is it just what happens when people grow apart
I have to ask myself

What went wrong? How could it take so long?
I never thought it could be so wrong this far along
It's not me, we were never meant to be
I never knew it could take so much to satisfy me, to pacify you

Maybe it was the way we chose to live
Maybe it was the things we chose to do without
Or is it just what happens after 18 months
You have to ask yourself

What went wrong? How could it take so long?
I never thought it could be so wrong this far along
It's not me, we were never meant to be
I never knew it could take so much to satisfy me to pacify you

No good to wonder why we failed to be
It'll never take away the things you meant to me

What went wrong?
What went wrong?
What went wrong?
What went wrong?

ROIR
Alvarez, Egerton

All you filthy idle rich
You bet I'm prejudiced
I got class... resentment
All you pretty girls and boys
With expensive toys
I got class... resentment
When I'm at work you treat me rude
So I spit in your food

I got class... resentment
I ain't got shit
You got a trust fund
I got minimum wage

Ski vacations in the sun
You had it made from day one
I got class... resentment
Playing golf with millionaires
On corporate welfare

I got class... resentment
I ain't got shit
You got a trust fund
I got minimum wage

Tie dyes, credit cards
In daddy's SUV
You drive for drugs and date rape
At the rainbow gathering
When you finish slumming boy
You shed your hippie skin
Your dad's a money nazi
You'll end up just like him

I want to cut your perfect throat
Sometimes I wonder why I don't

I got class... resentment

WHAT ARE YOU FOR?
Alvarez

Tell me how did you get so cynical and suspicious minded?
If you look for something wrong long enough I'm sure you'll find it
Save your psychic self-defense
'Cause I don't care what you're against

What are you for?
I want to know, why don't you tell me so?
What are you for?
Quit giving me negative what makes you want to live?

They shoved shit down your throat and told you that
It smells like roses
But it was just too hard to swallow, then you got
Halitosis
Save your evil, save your breath
'Cuz I don't care what you're against

What are you for?
I want to know, why don't you tell me so?
What are you for?
Quit giving me negative what makes you want to live?

You're tired of being pushed around
Want to tear the system down?
Hey bro - let's go!
Just quit your bitchin' about the situation

It's not that tough and it's not enough to point your finger
And I don't know why you should listen to me 'cause I'm just a singer
Your open mouth don't make you tough
I see you and I'll call your bluff

What are you for?
I want to know, why don't you tell me so?
What are you for?
Quit giving me negative, what makes you want to live?
What are you for?
What are you for?

STUPID KIND OF LOVE
Stevenson, Egerton

You and me got a stupid kind of love, stupid in every way

The only thing we agree on is that we disagree
How could two people see so many things so differently?
Makes me wonder what's the point behind this travesty

You tell me we're in love but you don't even like me
We're like fire and gasoline

You and me got a stupid kind of love, stupid in every way
You and me got a stupid kind of love, stupid in every way

What is it about you that keeps me hanging around?
The only time there's a good time is when we're having sex
Then you tell me you wanna get married, I'm gonna puke!

When you say tomato, I say beef jerky
Look what you do to me

You and me got a stupid kind of love, stupid in every way
You and me got a stupid kind of love, stupid in every way

Every time you give me shit
Using only half your half wit
I'm getting sick of you

You tell me we're in love
But you don't even trust me
Isn't this just great for me?

You and me got a stupid kind of love, stupid in every way
You and me got a stupid kind of love, stupid in every way

Stupid in every way
What kind of stupid kind of love is this?

ALIVE
Price

I think of all the things we did
Back when we were alive
I watched around the corner
As you rode up on your bike
I sat with you and held your hand
When movies made you cry
I think of all things we did
Back when we were alive

So many things to believe in
So much room to spread our wings
All the joy we found in every little thing

I never will forget the day
You heard your brother died
I'm sorry now I couldn't help more
While you sat and cried

The letters that you sent to me
That summer you were gone
I couldn't wait for your return
I couldn't wait that long

Swimming holes to sing in
Open fields we'd go to dream
All the joy we found
In every little thing
Every little thing

I think of all the things we did
Back when we were alive
When we made love I held you close
And kissed you when you cried
I'm sorry that it had to end
I'm sorry you're not mine
I'll be with you until the end
In dreams of you tonight
I'll be with you until the end
In dreams of you tonight
I think of all the things we did
Back when we were alive

REAL PEOPLE
Stevenson

Real people aren't good enough, good enough for me
Real people got rejects, blemishes, defects plain to see

Why should I accept your faults
When you won't grant me mine
Real people aren't good enough for me

Real people got traumas, break-ups, hang-ups - look and see
I'd rather stick with self-indulgence, movies and TV

Why should I play along
When you won't let me win
Real people aren't good enough for me

I want perfect tits and perfect thoughts
Built into the script
I want curvier curves, unbreakable nerves
I want perfect sex

Real people aren't good enough for me, good enough for me
So I think I'll just pursue my future caught in fantasy

Real people aren't good enough for me
Real people aren't good enough for me

LOCK 'EM AWAY
Alvarez

Don't like what they do? Lock them away
Don't like what they say? Lock them away

Does your child display the seven warning signs? Lock them away
They're not quite what you have in mind? Lock them away

We've got drugs and therapy, we will fix them for a fee
Erasing the mistake, lock 'em away

Three strikes and you're out, lock them away
They're guilty beyond doubt, lock them away

Ignore the poor, build more jails
Don't ask where their system fails
Erasing the mistake, lock 'em away

Don't want to see them, won't take their calls
Reduce them to a numbered room
Like they were never there at all

The old, the sick and lame, lock them away
We ought to be ashamed the way we lock them away

Just you wait, we've got a place
When you no longer pull your weight
Erasing the mistake
Erasing the mistake
Lock 'em away

TERESA
Stevenson

Teresa, do you want to listen to Ramones with me?
We'll get something to drink and maybe I'll come home with you
Believe me, there's no telling what's wrong with me
Teresa, I know you're still in love with me

Teresa, do you want to listen to Ramones with me?
I got nothin' to prove, but maybe I could be with you
Believe me, I'm not the creep that I used to be
Teresa, I know you're still in love with me

Teresa

You're almost thirty
And you can't stay in the music business forever
I'm in no hurry
But you can't hold these stupid grudges forever

Teresa, do you want to listen to what I have to say?
It's been a long ten years now of us not getting our way
Believe me, I'm not tryin' to get over on you
Teresa, I know you love me like you used to do

I WANT OUT
Stevenson, Egerton

"No, I mean my whole life"

I want out

Life doesn't have to be this complicated
I gotta get rid of all my shit
I'm not supposed to end up like Ward Cleaver

Money
Fidelity
Social obligations

Cell phones
All my bills
Both my broken cars

I want out
I want out

There's no way to clean up the mess
I gotta do away with everything
I'm gonna strip my thing down to the basic none

Stuff
Everybody
The pattering of little feet

Mortgage
Accountability
Can I sleep on your couch?

I want out
I want out
I want out

CRUCIFICTION
Alvarez

All you pricks who hide behind the cross
Accounting Heaven's gain by human loss

Hypocrite, hypocrite Christian
Hypocrite, hypocrite, crucifiction
God will love them better when they're dead

You murdered women screaming at the stakes
Built concentration camps and tortured slaves

Hypocrite, hypocrite Christian
Hypocrite, hypocrite, crucifiction

Pervert the truth that Jesus said
Go out and paint the town with Heathen red
You praise the lord and pass the ammunition
What makes you think that God will love them better when they're dead?

Onward Christian soldiers
Marching out to war

Pervert the truth that Jesus said
Go out and paint the town with Heathen red
You praise the lord and pass the ammunition
What makes you think that God will love them better when they're dead?

Onward Christian soldiers
Marching out to war

Jesus weeps and watches all you do
I know if there's a hell, it's meant for you

You hypocrite, hypocrite killer
Hypocrite, hypocrite killer Christian
Hypocrite, hypocrite Christian
Hypocrite, hypocrite, crucifiction

THE SKIN
Alvarez

She's a fat girl
You could never love that girl
You and all your skinny friends makin' jokes at her expense
Cracks about her backside, its resemblance to an elephant's

Does it feel good to tear her down?
Take her, make her less than human
She's heard every word and
She can't help the skin she's in

He's a black boy
You wouldn't want to be that boy
He's a jive talkin', ghetto dwellin', streetcorner crack sellin'
Welfare cheatin', pickaninny eatin' watermelon

Does it feel good to tear him down?
Take him, make him less than human
He's heard every word and
He can't help the skin he's in

We are the ugly, the weak and the wrong
Trapped in your world where you won't let us belong
When you cut me with your eyes
You know I die a million times
I'm still alive

You're lovely
But deep inside I know you're ugly
Though your face displays the promise of a Venus or Adonis
Still your fragile bleeding ego takes its pain out on the rest of us

And it feels good to tear you down
Sue me, I'm only human
That only makes it worse, 'cause
You can't help the skin you're in

NOTHIN' TO LIVE FOR
Stevenson, Egerton

You keep talking 'bout suicide
You make me want to ignore
Whine and complain about your worthless life
But you don't try to make it more

If there's nothin' to live for, then maybe it's time
To find something to live for and live your life

Maybe you should get a job
Everybody agrees
If you can't find any good in you
Then maybe you just shouldn't be

If there's nothin' to live for, then maybe it's time
To find something to live for and live your life

Get on with it
Or get it over with
Well rid of it

We all wonder about life itself
But we try to move forward anyway

If there's nothin' to live for, then maybe it's time
To find something to live for and live your life

NEVER TOOK
Price

One thing I know for sure
I never was a friend to you
You know when to know me
And you know when to be through
You call the shots
It's safe to bet that I regret that I
Never took the time to get to know you

Silence bothers some
But it's all that I can do
I never really thought about
Just what I put you through
I'll be around to cover ground
I left behind 'cause I
Never took the time to get to know you

The only thing I have to say for myself
I never really learned to deal with life
'Cause it's got a funny way of
Digging deep inside you until you feel so lost
Going too far - you can't stop

One thing I know for sure
Is that one and one make two
And there's no room leftover
For me to lie to you
I can't explain the way I fear
You won't be here
'Cause I never took the time to get to know you
Never took the time to get to know you

The only thing I have to say for myself
I never really learned to deal with life
'Cause it's got a funny way of
Digging deep inside you until you feel so lost
Going too far - you can't stop

MAKE BELIEVE
Stevenson

Pack up all your things, I'll help, you'll leave today
We said we'd do it, and today's the day
Don't care how we tried, it's gone a thousand times
We'll make it through this, there's no other way

If I'm the first and I'm the only, promise me I'll never be lonely
But only for as long as we believe

We placed all our faith in sex
And we broke it all and now there's nothing left
Of my little world of make believe

Messed up everything, all set to wash away
And now I'm through living as a criminal
No time for sentiment, just time to pay the rent
But maybe I'm not ready to grow up today

If I'm the first and I'm the only, promise me I'll never be lonely
But only for as long as we believe

We placed all our faith in sex
And we broke it all and now there's nothing left
Of my little world of make believe

I'm not ready to be thirty-two
And can't I just stay a while inside with you?
Far from the compromise and shifty eyes and dirt
I'm not ready to be thirty-two
But I can't stay forever young with you
Slam the door on my mixed up ways
I can't live my life like I'm in sixth grade
In my little world of make believe

Guess that's everything, I'll watch you drive away
Here's all your pictures and here's most of mine
But I loved you more than this; I lived for your sweet kiss
You watched me grind away and I watched you fade away

We placed all our faith in sex
And we broke it all and now there's nothing left
Of my little world of make believe
My little world of make believe

Let me come back to my world of make believe
(My little world of make believe)
My little world of make believe
(Never go back to my world of make believe)
Let me come back to my world of make believe
(My little world of make believe)
My little world of make believe
(Never go back)

DRIVE AWAY
Price

Tears fall down and wash the dirt away
The sky opens up to cry a while
Too many tortured memories that pass the time
The sun never shows its face

The steel belts leave their tracks along the way
The radio sings forgotten songs
Summer always seems to be so far away
The sun never shows its face

Drive away, drive away from troubles of the world
Drive away, drive away from everything that hurts

At night the highway seems so never ending
The moon comes out to light the way
The highway signs glare back and blind your understanding
The sun never shoes its face

Drive away, drive away from troubles of the world
Drive away, drive away from everything that hurts

Time flies by, we all wonder why
It takes time away to kill the pain
Hearts seldom break but always bend
You know it'll hurt until the end

Tonight the headlight shine and prove
There's still time for everything to change

Drive away, drive away from troubles of the world
Drive away, drive away from everything that hurts

Drive away, drive away from troubles of the world
Drive away, drive away from everything that hurts
