Don't Pick It Up

Don't Pick It Up

I saw a little kid
as he walked around
He picked a candy bar up
off the ground
He chowed about a half when
his face turned blue
Turned out that candy bar
was doggy doo

Whoa
Don't pick it up i say
Whoa
Unless you can throw it away
Whoa
Don't pick it up I say
You're gonna be bummed that you went that way

You're out there makin' bacon
No scrutiny
You mess around too much
And you got VD
You know you never think so
You're sore today
You're gonna take it back to
Californ-I-A

My friend was kinda hurtin'
For a girl to try
He saw one that looked like Pat
On Saturday Night Live
It had a pair of thingies
But a mustache too
Not clearly male or female
So what to do?

Elders

Elders

When we younger
There always seemed like
Some perfect mold
That we're supposed to be
But now we're growing up and
I see it's just not that way
Now I feel like someones lied to me

Cause I've been true
Made good for you
And now I feel used
I'm asking you
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be like you

Tell me now elders
What were your reasons for
Making it seem
Like you were so much more
If you want to feel good
Because of our accomplishments
Why the fuck
Don't you just do it yourself

Cause I've tried
Man I've tried
While you all lied
So now just tell me
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be like you

Look at all the families now
Who don't talk and don't trust
Because of the way
That things have been done
When will you finally learn
To leave out the bullshit
And just be straight with us

Falling

Falling

Falling, I'm falling

Have you ever walked through a room
But it was more like the room passed around you
Like there was a leash around your neck that pulled you through

Have you ever been at someplace
Recognizing everybody's face
Until you realized that there was no one there you knew
Well I know

Some days, my soul's confined and out of mind
Sleep forever
Some days, I'm so outshined and out of time
Have you ever

Falling, I'm falling

Have you ever buried your face in your hands
Cause no one around you understands
Or has the slightest idea what it is that makes you be

Have you ever felt like there was more
Like someone else was keeping score
And what could make you whole was simply out of reach
Well I know

Someday I'll try again and not pretend
This time forever
Someday I'll get it straight but not today
Have you ever

Falling, I'm falling

Some days, my soul's confined and out of mind
Sleep forever
Some days, my darkest friend is me again
Have you ever
Someday I'll try again and not pretend
This time forever
Someday I'll get it straight but not today
Have you ever

When the truth walks away
Everybody stays
Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay

So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay
Cause I'd like to think the world is a better place

When the truth walks away
Everybody stays
Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay

So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay
Cause I'd like to make the world be a better place

When the truth walks away
Everybody stays
Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay

So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay
Cause I'd like to think the world is a better place
I'd like to leave the world as a better place
I'd like to think the world

Feelings

Feelings

Feelings
nothing more than feelings
trying to forget my
feelings of hate

Imagine
beating on your face
trying to forget my
feelings of hate

Feelings
all my life I feel it
I wish I'd never met you
You'll make me sick again

Feelings, oh oh feelings
in all my mind

Feelings
Feelings like I never liked you
Feelings like I wanna kill you
Live in my heart

Feelings
Feelings like I want attack you
Feelings like I gotta catch you
Out of my life

Feelings, oh oh oh feelings
oh oh oh feelings
oh oh oh feelings
it’s in my eyes

Feelings, oh oh oh feelings
oh oh oh feelings
oh oh oh feelings
You're not very nice

Feelings, oh oh oh feelings
oh oh oh feelings
oh oh oh feelings
it’s on my mind

Feelings, oh oh oh feelings
oh oh oh feelings
oh oh oh feelings
get out of my life

Feelings, oh oh oh feelings
oh oh oh feelings
oh oh oh feelings
get out of my life

Forever and a day

Forever and a day

Look at me while I look at you
Seeing eye to eye we can never do
You try to tell me what is right
I may not know a lot but I know one thing

If you've got the answer
Then I don't want to know
If you've got the answer
Just keep it your own

I wonder why our world is ablaze
Sometimes I speak aloud to hear what people have to say
I try to have an open mind
But your brain and mouth must not be connected

If you've got the answer
Then I don't want to know
If you've got the answer
Just leave me alone

I would be patient but it takes so long
I don't want all this misinformation
All the words that you say
Lean on me while I lean on you
If we destroy each other
We might save a life or two
A little sun, a little shine
Separates us both by forever and a day

If you've got a vision
Then I don't want to see
If you've got a notion
Don't waste it on me

Genocide

Genocide

Our lives run different ways
Through the rain I see you in the sun
Our star shines anyway
If you wish upon it we are one

CHORUS:
Dog eat dog
Every day
On our fellow man we prey
Dog eat dog
To get by
Hope you like my genocide

I find it such a shame
Through the pain I see things as they are
We're served up on a plate
The pedestal is high enough to fall

And if in time
We can see the errors of our ways
Would anyone change it anyhow
Our time is up

CHORUS
I bet you'd only run
If you saw what goes inside our own
I bet you'd lead the way
If it were up to you to decide
But it's not
CHORUS

Get It Right

Get It Right

I've been told that to get what you want
You just gotta give what you can
But I know for what I want it don't come easy as that
They say, "Look out, boy
Tomorrow comes and things will look better by then."
But I'll look out the window
Then look in the mirror at the same old me again

CHORUS
Still can't get it right
And for all I know
I swear I never will

Do you think you'd sell your soul
To just have one thing to turn out right?
For the thousandth time you turnand find
That it just makes no difference to try
Like Holden Caulfield, I tell myself
There's got to be a better way
Then I lay in bed and stare at the ceiling
Dream of brighter days

CHORUS

No way out
Same old stuff always drags me down
Now way out
Never gonna get it

Gone Away

Gone Away

Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal it's so unfair

And it feels
Yeah it feels like
the world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away

Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
But black roses and hail marys
Can't bring back what's taken from me

I reach to the sky
And call out your name
and if I could trade
I would

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away

Gotta Get Away

Gotta Get Away

I'm gettin Edgy
All the time.
There's someone around me
Just a step behind.

It's kinda scary,
The shape I'm in.
The walls are shakin'
And they're closing in.

Too fast or
A bit too slow
I'm paranoid of people
And it's starting to show.

There's one guy that
I just can't shake
Over my shoulder
Is a big mistake.

Sitting on the bed
or lying wide awake.
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take.
I think I'm on a roll
But I think it's kinda weak.
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me

I tell you something
Just ain't right.
My head is on loose
But my shoes are tight.

Avoiding friends 'cause
They all bug.
Life is like a riddle
And I'm really stumped.

If you reason,
Don't you know
Your own preoccupation
Is where you'll go.

I think I'm being followed,
I look around
It's only my shadow
Creeping on the ground.

Sitting on the bed
or lying wide awake.
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take.
I think I'm on a roll
But I think it's kinda weak.
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me

Sitting on the bed
or lying wide awake.
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take.
I think I'm on a roll
But I think it's kinda weak.
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me
gotta get away from me
gotta get away from me
gotta get away from me

Falling, I'm falling
