"Hitchin' A Ride"

"Hitchin' A Ride"


Hey mister, where you headed?
Are you in a hurry?
I need a lift to happy hour.
Say oh no.
Do you brake for distilled spirits?
I need a break as well.
The well that inebriates the guilt.
1, 2. 1, 2, 3, 4.

Cold turkey's getting stale, tonight I'm eating crow.
Fermented salmonella poison oak no

There's a drought at the fountain of youth, and now I'm dehydrating.
My tongue is swelling up, as say 1, 2. 1, 2, 3, 4.
Troubled times, you know I can not lie.
I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin' a ride.

There's a drought at the fountain of youth, and now I'm dehydrating.
My tongue is swelling up, I say shit!

Troubled times, you know I can not lie.
I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin' a ride.

I'm hitchin' a ride.
I'm hitchin' a ride.
I'm hitchin' a ride.
I'm hitchin' a ride.
I'm hitchin' a ride.
I'm hitchin' a ride.
I'm hitchin' a ride.

"Hold On"

"Hold On"


As I stepped to the edge
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
With my conscience beating
Like the pulse of a drum
That hammers on and on
Until I reach the break of day
As the sun beats down
On the halfway house
Has my conscience beating
The sound in my ear
The will to persevere
As I reach the break of day

When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapstakes & losers
Nothing's left to cling onto
You got to hold on
Hold on to yourself

A cry of hope
A plea for peace
And my conscience beating
It's not what I want for
It's all that I need
To reach the break of day
So I run to the edge
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
With my conscience bleeding
Here lies the truth
The lost treasures of my youth
As I hold on to the break of day

When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapstakes & losers
Nothing's left to cling onto
You got to hold on
Hold on to yourself

When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapstakes & losers
Nothing's left to cling onto
You got to hold on
You got to hold on
Hold on to yourself

"Homecoming"

"Homecoming"


[Part 1: The Death Of St. Jimmy]

My heart is beating from me
I am standing all alone
Please call me only if you are coming home
Waste another year flies by
Waste a night or two
You taught me how to live

In the streets of shame
Where you've lost your dreams in the rain
There's no signs of hope
The stems and seeds of the last of the dope

There's a glow of light
The St. Jimmy is the spark in the night
Bearing gifts and trust
The fixture in the city of lust

What the hell's your name?
What's your pleasure and what is your pain?
Do you dream too much?
Do you think what you need is a crutch?

In the crowd of pain
St. Jimmy comes without any shame.
He says, “We're fucked up but we're not the same.
And mom and dad are the ones you can blame.”

Jimmy died today
He blew his brains out into the bay
In the states of mind
It's my own private suicide

[Part 2: East 12th St.]

[2x]
Well nobody cares
Well nobody cares
Does anyone care if nobody cares?

Jesus filling out paperwork now
At the facility on East 12th St.
He's not listening to a word now
He's in his own world and he's daydreaming

He'd rather be doing something else now,
Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly,
His life's on the line with anxiety now,
And she had enough, and he had plenty

Somebody get me out of here
Anybody get me out of here
Somebody get me out of here
Get me the fuck right out of here

So far away
I don't want to stay
Get me out of here right now
I just wanna be free
Is there a possibility?
Get me out of here right now

This life like dream ain't for me

[Part 3: Nobody Likes You!]
[Written and sung by Mike Dirnt]

I fell asleep while watching spike TV
After 10 cups of coffee and you're still not here

Dreaming of a song
But something went wrong
And I can't tell anyone
'Cause no one's here

Left me here alone
And I should have stayed home
After 10 cups of coffee I'm thinking

(where'd you go?)
Nobody likes you, everyone left you
(where'd you go?)
They're all out without you havin' fun
(where'd you go?)
Everyone left you, nobody likes you
(where'd you go?)
They're all out without you havin' fun

(where'd you go..go..go..go..)

[Part 4: Rock And Roll Girlfriend]
[Written and sung by Tre Cool]

Geez!...Ha..

I got a rock and roll band
I got a rock and roll life
I got a rock and roll girlfriend
And another ex-wife

I got a rock and roll house
I got a rock and roll car
I play the shit out the drums
And I can play the guitar

I got a kid in New York
I got a kid in The Bay
I haven't drank or smoked nothin'
In over 22 days
So get off my case
Off of my case
Off of my case!

[Part 5: We're Coming Home Again]

Here they come marching down the street
Like a desperation murmur of a heart beat
Coming back from the edge of town
Underneath their feet

The time has come and it's going nowhere
Nobody ever said that life was fair now
Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear
In the summer heat

The world is spinning
Around and around
Out of control again
From the 7-11 to the fear of breaking down
To send my love a letterbomb
And visit me in hell
We're the ones going...

Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again

I started fuckin' running
As soon as my feet touched ground
We're back in the Barrio
But to you and me, that's jingle town that's...

Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again
Home
We're coming home again

Nobody likes you
Everyone left you
They're all out without you havin' fun

"Horseshoes And Handgrenades"

"Horseshoes And Handgrenades"


I'm not fucking around
I think I'm coming out
All the deceivers and cheaters
I think we've got a bleeder right now
Want you to slap me around?
Want you to knock me out?
Well, you missed me, kissed me
Now you better kick me down

Maybe you're the runner up
But the first one to lose the race
Almost only really counts in
Horseshoes and handgrenades

I'm gonna burn it all down
I'm gonna rip it out
Well, everything you employ
Was meant for me to destroy
To the ground now
So don't you fuck me around
Because I'll shoot you down
I'm gonna drink, fight and fuck
And I'm pushing my luck
All the time now

Maybe you're the runner up
But the first one to lose the race
Almost only really counts in
Horseshoes and handgrenades

Demolition, self-destruction
Want to annihilate, this age-old contradiction

Demolition, self-destruction
What to annihilate, the age-old contradiction
Demolition, self-destruction
What to annihilate, the old age

I'm not fucking around
I think I'm coming out
Well, I'm a hater and a traitor
In a pair of Chuck Taylors right now
I'm not fucking around

G-L-O-R-I-A!
G-L-O-R-I-A!
G-L-O-R-I-A!
G-L-O-R-I-A!

"I Don't Wanna Know If You Are Lonely"

"I Don't Wanna Know If You Are Lonely"


[Originally by Husker Du]

I'm curious to know exactly how you are
i keep my distance but that distance is too far
it reassures me just to know that you're okay
but i don't want you to go on needing me this way

and I, don't wanna know if you are lonely
don't wanna know if you are less than lonely
don't wanna know if you are lonely
don't wanna know, don't want to know

the day you left me left me feeling oh so bad
still i'm not sure about all the doubts we had
from the beginning we both knew it wouldn't last
decisions have been made, the die has been cast

And I,don't wanna know if you are lonely
don't wanna know if you are less than lonely
don't wanna know if you are lonely
don't wanna know, don't want to know
DON'T WANNA KNOW

the phone is ringing and the clock says 4 am
if it's your friends, well i don't wanna hear from them
please leave your number and a message at the tone
or you can just go on and leave me here alone

And I, don't wanna know if you are lonely
don't wanna know if you are less than lonely
don't wanna know if you are lonely
don't wanna know, don't want to know

"I Fought The Law"

"I Fought The Law"


[Originally by Bobby Fuller]

Breakin' rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I needed the money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I miss my baby and I feel so sad
I guess my race is run
Well she's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the

Robin' people with a six gun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won
I miss my baby and I miss my fun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I miss my baby and I feel so sad
I guess my race is run
Well she's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the

I fought the law and the law won [x7]
I fought the law and the

"I Saw My Parents Kissing Santa Claws"

"I Saw My Parents Kissing Santa Claws"


I saw daddy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe
Last night
He didn't see me creep
down the stairs to have a peek
[Mike screams "Oh GOD!"]
He thought I was up in the bedroom fast asleep

Then, I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the Christmas tree last night
there must be some mistake
was I really awake?
I move in closer, but better look away

[Mike and Billie make barfing noises]

"I Want To Be Alone"


I lock myself inside my room
I WANNA BE ALONE
With you around, you'll only add on
I WANNA BE ALONE
Its been disturbed by my thoughts
I WANNA BE ALONE
With you around, you'll only add on
I WANNA BE ALONE

Please don't think I'm crazy
I don't want you to understand
My mind is growing hazy
To hell with your helping hand
Why don't you just leave me alone
This conflict is my own
Keep your sources away from me
That's all

"I Was There"

"I Was There"


Looking back upon my life
And the places that I've been
Pictures, faces, girls I've loved
I try to remember when
Faded memories on the wall
Some names I have forgotten
But each one is a memory I
Look back on so often.

I look into the past
I want to make it last
I was there

I look into the past
I want to make it last
I was there

Looking back what I have done
There's lots more life to live
At times I feel overwhelmed
I question what I can give
But I don't let it get me down
Or cause me too much sorrow
There's no doubt about who I am
I always have tomorrow

I look into the past
I want to make it last
I was there

I look into the past
I want to make it last
I was there

Looking back upon my life
Faded memories on the wall
Looking now at who I am
I don't let it get me down.

Looking back upon my life
And the places that I've been
Pictures, faces, girls I've loved
I try to remember when
But I don't let it get me down
Or cause me too much sorrow
There's no doubt about who I am
I always have tomorrow

I look into the past
I want to make it last
I was there

I look into the past
I want to make it last
I was there
