Here we go - let’s fall apart again
Here we go make a wreck of ourselves again
This town is a parking lot now
Let’s go out and drink till we fall down
Hey – let’s go down to the King’s Head
Three bands and everyone’s inbred
Waiting for something that’s never gonna show up
Let’s sit around and get all tore up
I am
I am so tore up.

You always knew you were different
But don’t let it stop you from paying the rent
‘Cuz there’s plenty of freaks in the world like you
That got nothing to say and got nothing to do
But you just wanted someone to like you
So you did all the things that you thought were cool
Shot some dope and dropped outta school
Now your 24 and you’re still the same
Such a big disappointment
Big disappointment
You always were such a big disappointment
They’d never known better if you kept your mouth shut
But everyone was listening when you opened it up
With that provocative dress in that ambient noise
With those Colombian girls
And those Mexican boys

He was a fat guy
He had a glass eye
He smoked cigarettes
He did pirouettes
He’s an alcoholic
And he stole my wallet
And that one eyed bastard
Made his getaway
In an El Camino
While the radio played
She was a black girl
Had a string of fake pearls
Thinks she’s dangerous
To him – she’s dangerous
They got married
And had a baby
A little one eyed baby
That smoked cigarettes
And used bad language
And played the clarinet

Have you figured it out
Have you figured it out
Have you figured it out
That I’m not playing around
When I say that I’m bored with myself
What happened to you
What happened to me
What happened to all that time hanging around
And now you’re just bored with your self
With a sideways glance
And another blown chance
And that picture of us
From your high school dance
And now you’re just bored with your sad, sad self

Catholic block party of three
Your table is waiting please come follow me
Your girl is so peculiar
Tell me man, where did you find her?
So slippery from the eyebrows down
Like a greased hog out in open ground
You must diffuse her like a bomb
Hurry now quick while the fuse is still long
Did she dig her nails into the base of your spine?
Bite down like an apple to the core of your mind?
Dig into your pockets and steal your good sense?
Are you scarred from it now?
Were you scared of it then?
Mother, son and Christmas ghost
Like a parasite breast feeding the host
Like a suicide scarred to make the jump
On which of her bones was the one that you choked?
And the sparks fall down like perpetual rain
When her will collided with your pain
And of all your regrets
Is this the one
To empty me out before all of this is done?
Did she break you will like an Arabian horse?
Did you give her your life or did she take it by force?
Do you still pound the walls at the sound of her name?
Are you different now or are you still the same?

I’m so tired
With my life
I want more
From my time
On the floor and in my head
All jacked up and bored to death
And I don’t wanna go to work
Don’t waste time
Don’t race time
All my life
How much time?
In my coffin
In my bed
Sharp as tacks
And dull as lead
No one’s funny
And nothing hurts
Wait a little longer I guess
I just want to be impressed
With someone besides myself

Ritalin baby
Sugar pie
Underage
I wanna
You’re right pretty when I’m drunk
I said yr damn pretty when I’m drunk
And I wanna
Cuz you cattle my rage
You rattle my cage
It’s that crazy look in your eyes
Or that vinegar on yr breath
That makes me wanna
Got those tittie pointed at me like two barrels of a gun
And I wanna
Cuz you cattle my rage
You rattle my cage

I got prehensile tail
And electric eyes
I got mutated friends
I got a secret disguise
I got utility belt
But I don’t got you
I got utility belt
But I don’t got you
I got a rage for vengeance
But I don’t got you
I got these nasty habits
But I don’t got you

I’ve been on soft ground lately
I’ve been so broken lately
I haven’t felt this bad in years
I am the javaman
I am the Piltdown man
I feel so dangerous
I am so dangerous
I’ve been so crippled lately
I’ve had some bad thoughts lately
I haven’t felt this bad in years
I’m tired of this stagnation
So tired of this stagnation
I’m tired of this stagnation
So tired of this stagnation
I’ve been so isolated
I’ve been so medicated
I haven’t felt this bad in years
Listen up – this is serious
Listen up – this is serious
Please take me serious
Please take me serious

All your friends are such flakes
And always hanging around
All they ever do is complain
On this sleepy little southern town
Everyday is just like Wednesday
Your life is such a wreck
What are you doing up this late
What happened to your self-respect
As long as you think it’s OK
To sit here and slowly drown
In lies, allegations and mistakes
You won’t have me to kick around

Well the boys in the band are all tired
And the waitress can’t sleep cuz she’s wired
And the soundman is drunk
And everyone’s on junk
And no one’s gonna get any sleep tonight
Face down by the cat box
In a room that smells like dirty socks
And outside there’s skinheads
And you’re bumming cigarettes
And yr never gonna get any sleep tonight
Cuz no one wants to lend a hand
To the world’s worst rock and roll band
After another shitty set
All the kids are bored to death
But there aint nothing else going on tonight
Except to beat a head against a brick wall
In the parking lot of a shopping mall
Where we drive around for hours
And we soak up whiskey sours
Yr never gonna get any sleep tonight
Cuz no one wants to lend a hand
To the world’s coolest rock and roll band
Cuz they’re never on the road
And the record wasn’t sold
And nobody could fix the van
But all the kids lined up up front
To watch the alcoholic derelict punks
All make a lot of noise
And the singer lost his voice
But man that kid could play the drums
