"Johnny Quest (Thinks We're Sellouts)"

"Johnny Quest (Thinks We're Sellouts)"

Well I really don't know
if it matters at all so
but we try to keep the prices low
for our records and our shows
but is that
is that enough
or is (it) that we're not punk enough
or is (it) that you think ska just sucks
(but) Johnny Quest, he thinks we're what?

[Chorus:]
Johnny Quest thinks we're sellouts, sellouts
Johnny Quest thinks we're sellin' out, (we're) sellin' out, yeah
Johnny Quest thinks we're sellouts, sellouts
Johnny, yeah

Well I really don't know
if it matters at all so
but we try to keep the prices low
for our records and our shows
does it matter
that you see our shirts
besides going to school and going to work
or that you think that ska just sucks
Johnny Quest, he thinks we're what?

[Chorus x2]

(He thinks we're sellin' out
sellin' out [x5]
yeah
sellin' out [x6]
yeah)

"Jump"

"Jump"

Remember when you had all the answers?
Nothing else even mattered
It was just you, and you alone
And you can feel it in your bones

You didn't need to be told
What to believe
(What to believe)
You didn't need to let go
At lightning speed

Remember when you stopped short of surrender?
And you never say never
But it's the truth, you didn't know
Between the now and what's unknown

You didn't need to be told
What to believe
(What to believe)
And you realized on your own
At lightning speed

The skeptics never make it through the static
Automatic
Your desperate techniques to shake the stone [?]
The skeptics never make it through the static
Automatic
Step to the edge and take the jump
Step to the edge and take the jump
Whoooaaa
Step to the edge and take the jump

You didn't need to be told
What to believe
(What to believe)
You didn't need to let go
At lightning speed

The skeptics never make it through the static
Automatic
Your desperate techniques to shake the stone [?]
The skeptics never make it through the static
Automatic
Step to the edge and take the jump
Step to the edge and take the jump
Whoooaaa
Step to the edge and take the jump

"Just Like Frank"

"Just Like Frank"

He's just like anyone
he's just like anybody
he's just like frank
and I know it
and he knows it
it's his one sided point of view
I know it when he says
it's my way, or the wrong way
and I don't care about you
but to see my side wouldn't be the worst thing he could do
when someone's politic blinds you
and binds you
to something you don't believe in
and he's just like anyone...
and I saw him walking on my way
path third street just the other day
why doesn't he understand views keep changing?

"Kenhoe"

"Kenhoe"

Ideals are like opinions and beliefs just like tradition
Sometimes both are not enough
Faded stickers and crumpled flyers
They've become the reminder
that there's an anthem in us that fits
the flag we've flown for years
I've always had this same old song
Stuck in my head for so damn long
A soundtrack to whether I'm right or wrong
Ideals are like opinions beliefs just like tradition
Sometimes both are not enough
faded pictures and yellowed flyers
and memories so far behind us
there's an anthem in us that fits
the flag we've flown for years
Ideals and its actions
Beliefs and convictions
Faith and tradition
The flags we've flown for years

"Krazy Glue"

"Krazy Glue"

It seems I can't explain it all
all the reasons gone and I just can't seem to shake
what I've been brought up on
and well it hard to say
and its hard to explain
that all the things I've known are feeling strange
I guess I'll always have tradition
to fall back on
and just what the hell
am I supposed to do
just accept someone else's point of view
and we could ramble on and on and still not know...
and what keeps rolling through my brain
it keeps running like a non-stop frieght train
its that tradition seems to stick to you
just like krazy glue

"KROQ Song"

"KROQ Song"

This is Less Than Jake (this is Less Than Jake)
this is Less Than Jake (it's Less Than Jake)
you're listening to 106.7 KROQ (KROQ)
Hometown Radio hates us
'cause we pissed off Barry Sides
but now we're doin' the jingle (doin' a jingle)
on 106.7 KROQ

"Landmines And Landslides"

"Landmines And Landslides"

[Verse 1]
Dear "you won't answer me"
Did you honestly
Think I'd ever leave?
If you'd somehow just believe me
You've gotta know right now that these words still sting
I've lost everything I've ever touched

[Pre-chorus:]
The results were eating me up
For once I've had enough

[Chorus:]
Landmines-landslides no matter how I try
Landmines-landslides every single time

[Verse 2]
I fell asleep while watching TV
While the living dead
They walk my streets this evening
This sitting target's been
Stuck on the couch again
Pretending I'm stable when the panic sets in

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus:]
Landmines-landslides no matter how I try.
I'm destined for disaster a failure by design
Landmines-landslides every single time.
I'm destined for disaster I'm trapped on every side

[Bridge:]
You know how hard I try sometimes
You can see it in my eyes
It's always eating me alive
The day to day of getting by
Self-control from all the helplessness I've known
I'm a wreck
Lacking confidence there's no arguments you know

[Chorus:]
Landmines-landslides no matter how I try.
I'm destined for disaster a failure by design
Landmines-landslides every single time.
I'm destined for disaster I'm trapped on every side.

"Last Hour Of The Last Day Of Work"

"Last Hour Of The Last Day Of Work"

I couldn't help but think back to the advice
that I got from my dad a few times
he said"...time goes by so fast in a blink of an eye
so never close your eyes..."
"...I always wanted something more than 50 hours every week
and a paid vacation on the jersey shoreline"
And he said
So when ambition turns into competition
I'll never be the better man
I can't help but think back to the time
he said "life goes right by"
And told me never think twice
"you can't second guess how to live your life"
All these years have been way too short
to be spent on some factory floor like me
I never went back again
I never looked back again
And he said
So when ambition turns into competition
I'll never be the better man
It's the last hour of the last day
don't fall so far behind now
you'll be another nameless face
he said

"Last One Out Of Liberty City"

"Last One Out Of Liberty City"

Last one out of Liberty City,
Burn it to the ground.

I know, I know, I know.
I know just who I am.
It was in my head,
is that I don't really give a damn.
Just who you think I am.
Just who I am, just who I am.
(Just who I!)

I know there comes a time
when you lost faith
in what you believe inside.
(What you have inside.)
And did you know somehow,
its just not smart enough to start.
(It gets up from the ground.)

The other day, this girl
came up to me and asked.
If she used to go to school with me
I kinda laughed. She said
wasn't I the guy her friends always
called a waste of time.

I know, I know, I know.
I know just who I am.
It was in my head,
is that I don't really give a damn.
Just who you think I am.
Just who I am, just who I am.
(Just who I!)

Well it's time to think about
where I'll be ten years from now.
(Ten years from now!)
I wonder if the media knows
I call myself washed up, not watered down.
(Just water on the ground!)

The other night, this guy
came up to me downtown.
And can't believe after five years
I'm still around. And he said
wasn't I the guy who walked these streets all night,
such a waste of time.

I know, I know, I know.
I know just who I am.
It was in my head,
is that I don't really give a damn.
Just who you think I am.

Just who I am, just who I am.
(Just who I!)
Just who I am, just who I am.
(Just who I!)
Just who I am, just who I am.
(Just who I aaamammmm!)

WOAHOW!

"Last Rites To Sleepless Nights"

"Last Rites To Sleepless Nights"

Tonight i'll be wiping my slate clean
I''ll be clearing out those clouded memories
cause i don't to keep living in the past
and i can't stand how i always do that

and now all i really have left is my head
and its just a mess

Tonight i will dance on the graves of all my darkest days
and erase all the worries of all the time i wasted my scars may never go away
but i'll learn not to mind them along the way
