Sitting on the city streets / for somebody like your own / you gotta make it with your heart again / and wear it like a cardigan / clean off your dirty hands / and shake them like their born again / your gonna make it with your heart again / in your new cardigan
Well you got the bad genes / without any good seams / my brother it does seem / your pockets are empty / but i got a sweet dream / where you join a new scene / theres so many great things / we all still believe / you got a 666 on the back of you / but 48 years in front of you / you cant hide this /
you cant hide this / in your new cardigan

Ive been thinking it through
how we once were abused
brothers in arms were still here
despite this lives abuse
whats it going to take
he feels happy when abused
ive lived this life for so long
do you missed being used
colors are filtered in dreams
black and white bicycles pedal faster and faster
and i ran with a suitcase full of air
but i know i guess i missed being used
i miss being used
i told stories i wrote
while the alligators on my shirt listened hard
and i ran with a suitcase full of air
but i know ill be back for more
its over, its over, its over, its over

Baby I've been looking to score all night and
I've been wondering if you think it would be alright
Im warming up my hands and hope she understands
Baby I've been looking to score all night
You want come on come on
I'll be done soon soo
Baby I've been looking for flowers all night
but whats the point you unfold for me inside
This shouldn't last that long I hope you understand
A Yeah I've been looking to score all night
Fake tan and pantyhose
Airbrushed your cellulite
I'll be done soon so it's time
(Tom Petty)
Oh Yeah, Alright

ABBY, I bet I'm better than you, I bet I'm better
It's what you say when your eyes are closed
It's what you hear when your mind is broke
And ABBY I just don't give a shit about the status qou
of David Grohl
ABBY, I bet I'm better than you, I bet I'm better
It's what you read when your books are closed
It's what you want when your wallets broke
So ABBY I just don't give a shit about your new hip clothes
or stupid hair God I hate your hair,
drug addiction, blackberry, Ipod and lame ass shows
ABBY I bet I'm better than you, I bet I'm better

Americas got a situation
we've got disease, we've got destruction
I'm getting sick of paying rent
our presidents a disaster
I need to find Mrs. Beaver
you know the one who sew's real good
she took our souls now life's a disaster
Narnia, where'd you go?
Americas got a situation
we've got disease, we've got destruction
I'm getting sick of paying rent
our presidents a disaster
Hey now man can I use your lighter?
so I can smoke this here square
because when your depressed life's a disaster
what's the worry in dying from cancer?
Americas got a situation
we've got disease we've got destruction
school food sucks and taste like shit
healthcare sucks we'll die faster
your cars a piece of shit, a disaster

Jack's been waiting long
For time that's come and gone
Still he waits with change
But Jack times all gone home
Your soul matches your polo
Like mine it's filled with air
You can have clusters of friends
Make presents for them
Put underneath your dim lit soul
Worms dont eat our souls
Jacks been waiting long

It's On

I don't want you to ever think of me like that but you know it's probably right. And I don't want you to ever think of me as crazy but you know you're probably right. I was playing shows in messy clothes, had faith in you and loved deep at home LIGHT MOVE FAST DEAD ON THE ROAD. Now it's jagged deep blue nights digging out my eyes with pain covered up by red pills and lies. You know that's not right, you know who I am.
It's on, It's on, It's on me tonight
It's on, It's on, It's on me tonight
Comb my hair, play these songs until you all sing along
It's on, It's on, It's on me
I didn't want to throw away every collauge we made, replace them all with ripped pictures of me, but I just couldn't smile anymore. Just don't ever cry like you did last night the pain you feel inside only triple's in size. You know that's not right, you know that's not.
It's on, It's on, It's on me tonight
It's on, It's on, It's on me tonight
Comb my hair, play these songs until you all sing along
It's on, It's on, It's on
Me tonight

Colorful Ink

I'm writing it down for you(literally, right now) in colorful ink so you can still read. I'm breaking it down for you like cliff notes for boys and girls who can't read.
Go what you said your breaking instead, go what you said I'm losing my head. I just don't think you'r ready for this. I'm more straight up with you than a polygragh test, more straight across than a 16 year old girl. I just don't think your ready for this.
I'm writing it down for you in colorful ink so you can still read. I'm breaking it down for you like cliff notes for boys and girls who can't read.
I quit all that shit in 1996 but all the flashbacks are real, paranoia for skin. I just don't think you'r ready for this. Left overs fill my fridge for this midnight snack, all the helpings I had got stored like fat. I just don't think your ready fot this. Gregg said everythings gonna be alright, well, alright.

You've blown up the world, Now it's all gone
From your bombs and hate, It's all gone
So clean your hands and burn your face
You've finally seen beauty but it's too late
You've blown up the world.
Please sun shine on this beautiful nothing
Sky look over this beautiful nothing
The world's been blown away by hate and
Were all dead, only this song remains.
You took control, Now it's all gone
With your bombs and hate, It's all gone
So clean your hands and burn your face
You've finally found beauty but it's too late
You've blown up the world.
Please sun shine on this beautiful nothing
Sky look over this beautiful nothing
The worlds been blown away by hate
Were all dead, only this song remains.
I'm walking without my eyes
and the end of towns just six feet more.
but these trees keep talking to me
telling me their life stories
which I don't really care for.
and I wonder
should I take out these contacts and lose sight?
or keep them in and lose my mind?
because it's too dark to see anything
and it's been way too long to want to see anyone.
I'll count how long these train tracks fly by.
the end of my worlds just six feet down.
Goodbye World, Goodbye
Goodbye World, goodbye

I'll give you up if you want
I'll tear you down if you want
If this is all you need it's coo with me.
My side of the bed if want
The night lights on when your scared
Delirium in my head
I'm crazy, were scared, then she's there.
