"Great American Sharpshooter"

"Great American Sharpshooter"


So you think,
of what it could've been.
When time was all you lost,
it keeps burning through your head.
Now you fall asleep standin'
Lie up in your bed.
Watch the clock drag on,
and think of what you should've said.

(Woah)
It's for the better,
Your better halfs gone.
It's ok, you didn't need her anyway.
And I don't wanna hear ya say
nobody could take her place.
Woah-oh-oh-oh-ooohh.
And what more can I say
you don't need her anyway.
Woah-oh-oh-oh-ooohh.

And so you think,
of how it should've been.
And its just stubborn,
keeps goin' through yer head.
You're hearing all those words,
time and time again
watch the phone all night
and think of what you should've said.

(Woah)
It's for the better,
Your better halfs gone.
It's ok, you didn't need her anyway.
And I don't wanna hear ya say
nobody could take her place.
Woah-oh-oh-oh-ooohh.
And what more can I say
you don't need her anyway.
Woah-oh-oh-oh-ooohh.

Woah-oh-oh-oh-ooohh. [x4]

And I don't wanna hear ya say (Woah-oh-oh-oh-ooohh)
nobody could take her place.
Woah-oh-oh-oh-ooohh.
And what more can I say (Woah-oh-oh-oh-ooohh)
you don't need her anyway.
Woah-oh-oh-oh-ooohh.

"Green Eyed Monster"

"Green Eyed Monster"


How does it feel
to be under the eyes
watching so closely
buy what you can't have
what'd you have
wish I could everything you have
and you wonder where your friends have gone
how's it feel to have
just a few ones
wish you had more than the one you had
everything that you ever had

[Chorus:]
I wish I could find a way
to wish it all away
and all that you want from me
can disappear
with your jealousy

How does it feel
to be under the eyes
watching closely
buy what you can't have
what'd you have
wish I could everything you have
and you wonder where your friends have gone
how's it feel to have
just a few ones
wish you had more than the one you had
everything that you ever had

[Chorus]

Green eyes watching you
wishing they could be all of you
wait a little moment, take from me
everything they take from me
[x3]

[Chorus]

"Growing Up On a Couch"

"Growing Up On a Couch"



How many things that you believe
Are straight out of TV and magazines
And when comfort comes before thruth
Can you say that you never knew,
Sitting in front of your TV,
Do you believe the lies
Given to us from another time
And can you say that everything is fine
when your ideology is only right half the time
I'm growing up on the couch

"Hamburger Hop"

"Hamburger Hop"



Now if you want somethin' that's good and hot
just eat a hamburger it'll hit the spot
you can see 'em on the griddle
goin' flippety flop
makes you wanna do the boogie
to the hamburger hop

They're open up 24 hours a day
just waitin' and hopin'
all the folks would say
put a burger on the griddle
do a flippety flop
put an onion in the middle
and a pickle on top

There just ain't nothin' finer, no
nothin's quite so new
? the seasoning ?
like the burger's always do

You really should go
because it's swept the land
everybody's goin' to the hamburger stand
and they put 'em on the griddle
do the flippety flop
everybody does the boogie
to the hamburger hop

Thanks to Tom Kirk (Tommo151@hotmail.com) for correcting these lyrics

"Handshake Meet Pokerface"

"Handshake Meet Pokerface"


For over half her life she's worked from 9 to 5,
Crossing T's and dotting I's the neon lights can't hide,
That she's lost her shine.
She says the mornings taste like turpentine,
She said she understands the point of sacrifice,
And so should I.

Pay cut but it's a paycheck.
Surviving is my best revenge.
What hurt you once won't hurt you again.
She meant what she said.

Weathered lines across her face were an even trade.
Finger prints worn down from overwork,
And underpay at minimum wage.
She said the overtime is worth these aches and pains.
But is it worth the precious time that ticks away?
Every second everyday.

Pay cut but it's a paycheck.
Surviving is my best revenge.
What hurt you once won't hurt you again.
She meant what she said.

She said woah-woah... [x4]

For over half her life she walked the straightest lines.
She only wanted to provide a future,
For my brother and I.

Pay cut but it's a paycheck.
Surviving is my best revenge.
What hurt you once won't hurt you again.
She meant what she said.

"Happyman"

"Happyman"



Happyman smiles almost every single day,
too numb to notice that he's walking in a haze,
he's pushed himself here and doesn't know what to do.
choked by the clock and he doesn't know what to do.
I say, you say, you say its work yeah its work all day.
Happyman is mad at the world
(green grasses, picket fences, liquid lunches lost his senses)

Let's have a toast for living now
Fly the flag for the proud
Falling backwards

Thank you Harvey Wallbanger

Thank you stalled economy
For all of my uncertainty

"Hell Looks A Lot Like L.A."

"Hell Looks A Lot Like L.A."



He got in his car and told himself to drive
gotta leave it all behind if he wants to feel alive
19 and lost and never thought he'd ever leave this place
vacant mind from endless grind so what's to lose anyways
Another fast food job?
Another 8 to 5 day?
Ten minutes and two miles is just a mile too many today
and you can see why it's easy to say
y'know that hell looks a lot like L.A.
six months ago was the last she felt alive
moved down from the north and told herself she'd try
18 and lost and never thought this place would change
ignored and bored the same feelings as yesterday
she said it's way too much more than she could take
it's one less car that's in the way
y'know that hell looks a lot like L.A.

"Help Save The Youth Of America From Exploding"

"Help Save The Youth Of America From Exploding"



Sit down, remind me how,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.
Sit down, remind me how,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.

And just outside I can hear the sound,
of the early morning street,
becoming way too loud.
Yea the hum, of the engines in the cars,
on the street, Yea.
On the street.

And with this cigarette that I just lit,
as I passed the 53rd Street bridge.
Right now the world just seems too big,
the world just seems to big.

Sit down, remind me how,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.
Sit down, remind me how,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.

And just outside, I can see my breath,
in between the words,
that fog my spinning head.
And I can see the sun coming up,
and its just light enough to see.

Another cigarette that I just lit,
as I passed the 53rd Street bridge.
Right now the world just seems too big,
the world just seems to big.

Sit down, remind me how,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.
Sit down, remind me how,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.

Sit down,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.
Sit down, (remind me how),
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.
Growing up and getting lost.

And all the late-night calls,
with all the lost hopes.
And all the missed connections (connections!).
And the lost directions.

Sit down, remind me how,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.
Sit down, remind me how,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.

Sit down,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.
Down-own, remind me how,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.

"History Of A Boring Town"

"History Of A Boring Town"


Just talked to this girl,
used to live, yea, on my street. (woah-oh-oh)
After all these years you're here,
and you remember me. (woah-oh-oh)
She said her old boyfriend
packed up and headed back east.
But she always knew some day...
he would go.

She just got a new job
and she's down to her last. (woah-oh-oh)
So let's take a drink and never think, yea
here's to the past. (woah-oh-oh)
She said its so funny,
how life runs out so fast.
It's just another wasted day.

A boring life in a boring town
with the same old crowd. (woah-oh-oh)
When I used to say, that I'd never say
that I'm rotting here today. (woah-oh-oh)
With that same old crowd
thats always been around.
And I always thought I'd be
the first to go.

That same old crowd,
that drags me down.
Another day in a boring town.
That same old crowd,
that brings me down.
A boring life in a boring town.

Just talked to this girl,
used to live, yea, on my street.
After all these years you're here,
and its still just you and me.
Sometimes I can't believe after all these years
I just think I'll never leave here.
She said it's so funny,
how life runs out so fast.
Let's take another drink,
and here's to the past.

That same old crowd,
that drags me down.
Another day in a boring town.
That same old crowd,
that brings me down.
A boring life in a boring town.

And remember when they looked through you,
and then looked past me.
We were the ones they said would always leave.
So when you go, just think of me,
think of me. (woah-oh-oh)

[Interlude Thingy]

A boring life in a boring town
with the same old crowd. (woah-oh-oh)
When I used to say, i'd never say
that I'm rotting here today. (woah-oh-oh)
With that same old crowd,
thats always been around.
And I always thought that...
yea how we always thought that..
and I always thought I'd be,
the first to go!

A boring life,
A boring town. (woah-oh-oh)
A boring life,
A boring town. (woah-oh-oh)
A boring life,
A boring town!
