He saw her once
He saw her twice
He thought that maybe this was by her own device
She came again
And she came on
Was this for real because it'd been so long
And far between
He could not believe
She knew his friends
She knew his past
She knew he talked to much and winded real fast
To longing eyes
He says goodbye
He turns and runs so he can't see her cry
He's left to roam
She's all alone
Don't you want
Don't you want
Don't you want to be there
Don't you want
Don't you want
Don't you want to be there
He's settled down
Sits down to play
He's losing focus cause it's been ten days
He sees the stars
He sees her face
A half remembered portrait that he can't erase
He's thinking back
He's losing track
He finds her words
She touched this page
He takes and presses them against his face
He's off and chasing dreams and she knows he
had to try
Would it be better if he'd stayed with her than
lived a lie
Of wasted time
That's sounding fine
Don't you want
Don't you want
Don't you want to be there
Don't you want
Don't you want
Don't you want to be there
Now one is one
And two is two
This simple truth I can't apply to you
And I can't keep beside her without both feet
on the ground
Got the hardest lesson learned and now it's
time to settle down
Don't you want
Don't you want
Don't you want to be there
Don't you want
Don't you want
Don't you want to be there
Don't you want
Don't you want
Don't you want to be there
Don't you want
Don't you want
Don't you want to be there

The first seven years your skies were oh so clear
And you knew no pain in those days
Then I came along and life started going wrong
Both yours and mine in those times
We went to war, seems like I begged for more
And you supplied, fists fly
Brotherly love, something someone made up
That I never had, so sad
Memories of black and blue
Those things you put me through
But we grew up some how
Everything's all good now
Hey can you tell me
Where did we go wrong then go right?
Cause now it seems so clear
Man look at you now
A couple children and a wife
I've come to love so dear
We're finally here
I can't believe we're finally here
A place that we would never find I feared
And it's been such a long way
I can finally say the hatred's gone away
Memories of black and blue
Those things you put me through
But we grew up somehow
Everything's all good now

Maybe she didn't start our first date out all wrong
Maybe she didn't talk about herself too long
Maybe she didn't act all boring like a robot
But she's not the one cause she's a

Cute little x-con she's not the one
Thinks killing is fun I'm on the run
I gotta find a place to go
Cute little x-con it's sick and wrong
She's gotta big gun I'm on the run
She doesn't like being told no

Maybe she didn't kiss just like an old bull frog
Maybe she didn't have a body like a log
Maybe she didn't have a mustache but I still doubt
We'll go out again cause she's a

Cute little x-con she's not the one
Thinks killing is fun I'm on the run
I gotta find a place to go
Cute little x-con it's sick and wrong
She's gotta big gun I'm on the run
She doesn't like being told no

Has she always been a psychopath
I'd love to see the aftermath
If she could ever change her ways
And if she didn't seek my end
I'd probably take her out again again
But she's a cute little x-con she's not the one
Thinks killing is fun I'm on the run
I gotta find a place to go
Cute little x-con it's sick and wrong
She's gotta big gun I'm on the run
She doesn't like being told no

Poor man sits all alone
Counts about nothing he owns.
You see him there but you walk on by
His cup of change is running dry

His whole world is cold and gray
He didn't eat a single thing today
But that don't phase you at all
Cause you got your life together and you'll never fall.

(Chorus)

When I see through the eyes of the One who gave us His Son
And loves us all the same, I can't just walk away
Cause how could I defend when I've got so much to
lend So quick to turn my back to anyone that asks

You say he's just a thug
Hooked on alcohol and hooked on drugs
But you're human just like him
And when God gives you His grace
He know that you'll still sin
Don't close your mind so tight
Nothing you say will make it alright
And this person still won't have home
Except these streets that he's always roamed

(Chorus)

There's not much difference between us
We're all just drawing straws and he got the shorter one.
We see an ugly dirty bum
It's in your point of view and he's so beautiful seen through...

(Chorus)

Where'd everybody go.
The distance between always seems to grow
And it seems like everybody's gone.
But not me, I'm still around
And nothing could take me from this town
You just had to move on.
Do you remember senior year
When we faced the world tall with no fear?
Well I still remember you
But memories are all I have in view
And I haven't seen you in so long.

(Chorus)

And now you're gone
And I feel like the world is taking off
And now you're gone
I haven't seen you in so long and now you're gone.

What's a move? What's a vacation
Is it too much to hope for a reunion
And would we be the only one's that went
I wonder what you'd drive up in
A Rolls Royce or a beat up station wagon
To fit your 14 kids
I think back to when we were young
But those songs have already been sung
Well, you're always on my mind
Cause that's the only place I seem to find you
And I've missed you for so long.

(Chorus)

Well I try to close my eyes and see you in my mind
But if you're not there I know it's such a
waste of time.
But it's just my way of trying to hold on.
(Chorus)

Why do you feel the need to tell me about all your victories
Do you challenge everyone you see
And you think I'm impressed
The truth is I've lost all interest
And I'm sick of your B.S.

(Chorus)

Cause I don't wanna beat you
I don't know why you do
Just know I don't (wanna beat you)

Your life is just a show
That I see right through you just don't know
Did you think we all admired you
Well buddy you thought wrong
So stop coming on so strong
And put that chip where it belongs

(Chorus)

Well you still go on
Puttin yourself above everyone
Just let me know when your bravado's done
Not gonna dignify
Your pompous boasts with a reply
No, it's not worth my time

(Chorus)

I don't care about your ego
I'm not gonna try to get one up
You gotta a lot of insecurity issues
But thats your problem
So stop telling all of your tall tales
You know they never meant a thing to me
It's just a defense mechanism and it's
getting ugly

(Chorus)

We don't play nice
You and me all we do is fight
and bring each other down
I'm feeling like I'm not wanted around
So what do we do?
You're sick of me and I'm sick of you
I think I'll just go home
Now I just wanna be alone
Cause I've had enough
I'm gonna take some
Time to relax my mind
Cause everyone here is so unkind

I'm going home, leave me alone
I'm going home

We're like little boys
Who scream and fight over their toys
But in our case
Pride always so eager to divide
Well all friends fight
But typically not every night
It's gotten to my head
The weight got too
heavy for the thread
I've taken enough
I'm gonna take some time
Let myself unwind
I just need some peace and quiet

I'm going home, leave me alone
I'm going home

Sometime has passed away
Wounds turned to scars
Lessons learned from old mistakes
The time has come and gone
I hope your memories of me are fond
I'm really not that bad
It's just the circumstances we had
But you've had enough
We gotta take some time
Rearrange our lives
It's better for us on both sides

I'm going home, leave me alone
I'm going home

How do you know which seeds a man has sown
Before he reaps them
How do you see the words that one might read
Before they're written
Where will we go? How will we know until we get there?
It seems so slow til time reminds us we've got one chance.
We play these games with no rules but many names
None of them clever.
And we get so sore cause nobody knows the score
Until it's over.
When will we go?
How will we know until we get there?
It seems so slow til time reminds us we've got one chance.
Here we go to this undiscovered land
So unknown cause someone forgot to read the end.

Look at elapsed life, where did it go
Cause in it's time it seemed so slow
It makes me wonder how much I've got left
Until the end.
So many answer but none bring peace
And I've got faith but fears don't cease.
Can someone tell me how to not fear death
Cause I'm just a man

Jack and Jill are breaking up again
Cause she don't like when he gets drunk with
his friends.
So here's my opportunity
To make Jill fall in love with me.
I'm gonna ask her out this Friday night.
I picked her up and walked her to my car
She asked me where we were going, I said not far.

I took her to the soda shop
We laughed and danced and talked a lot
And everything was working out just right.
I called her up to ask her out again
Her mom said that she's out tonight till ten.
It seems she and Jack talked it over
They worked it out alright and now you know
They're going out Friday night.
Jack and Jill are back together again a
And she's wearing his jacket and his pin
But they'll break up again, you'll see
And maybe then she'll fall for me
Until then I'm free every Friday
I'm so lonely every Friday
I'll be thinking about Jill on Friday nights

Well you saw a couple shows and you gathered what you know
About the punk rock paradigm
All you really know is you have to throw a fit and whine
So you wrote a bunch of songs that are 30 seconds long
And complain about everything
This story's very common and it's getting a bit too annoying
Is your life really all that oppressive
Or are you just fitting the mold
Use your mind to make your own opinions
Don't cling to everything you're told
Well you've gotten all punk rock so you're hating all the jocks
Parents, teachers, and Rush Limbaugh
Your favorite thing in life is go out at night and break the law
You sewed on a couple spikes, learned to sing like Fat Mike
And your thinking about turning vegan
I've got so many problems with you
I just don't know where to begin
Do you really feel you've lost your freedoms
To politicians you can't see
You've got for more ulterior reasons
For your newfound identity
Please allow me to be frank, your charade is pretty rank
You just do it cause you wanna fit in
In my opinion being fake is one of the ost evil sins
Take a good look at your life, is it filled with so much strife
Or is that part of your punk rock style
Just an inch or two of honesty can stretch about a million miles

Would He, would He have spared us all if He'd been more kind
Most never find what they need
Plagued by free will they watch their spirits die
You call this design?
But does a man's confusion
Prove there's a contradiction? It may to that one
It's caused so much commotion
Cause no ones found a good solution, could there not be one?
Creation seems like God's game to keep himself amused
We tend to loose our patience
We think an explanation's overdue
But who would that soothe?
So in our irritation
We assume revelation has been given to none
And divine inspiration is gone out on a prolonged vacation
With faith from when we were young
We're here and we wait for love from anyone
But we can't see Him
Most of us, we just close our eyes
Cause we think he died in our learning
Could it be, He's been here all along
But our hearts were wrong to receive Him
Could it be He waits with open arms
Until we open ours and believe Him

You thougt you could see through
All those who would oppose you
And take on dominion
Omit all their opinions
Every time you open your mouth it's to argue
You keep us in line cause what would the world do
without you

(Chorus)

So needless, we climb these
Walls you've built to our harm (everyone's)
But you need this to keep your
Hatred out of the wrong

You're searching, you found him
Someone who might be slipping
With your eyes expanded
You want him caught red handed
There's that evil smile you put on when
you've got a victim
And it's been a while since you found one to
hear your sermon

(Chorus)

We were all so weak and so fatigued
But you're right cause you say so
Cause your the Pope and it's your papal bull
It's looks like they all grew
A little tired of you
You figured they quit it
Could you just wait a minute
Has it crossed your mind that no one wants to
hear what you think
Cause we all want wine and your giving us acid to
drink
I hope you figure out some day
That you've got way to much to say
And your words can hit so hard

They said, they said it's time to go go
I said thank God because the day had gone by so
slow
Plannin on rockin tonight
And there might even be a fight alright
We rock we rock rock and roll
We rock from Hong Kong to Seoul
We rock to the grave from the cradle
Rockin and Rollin like the spinning of a dradle
Since Chuckie sang about John
And now it's still going strong, right on
We rock we rock rock and roll
We rock from Hong Kong to Seoul
Sometimes we rock n' roll for hours
We rock all day and night and never take a shower
Some people go into shock
That's just the smell of punk rock, we rock
We rock we rock rock and roll
We rock from Hong Kong to Seoul
We rock everyone we see
We rock we rock rock do we
We rock
We rock
We rock
And they don't

14 and 15 Teenage puppy lovers
Nobody thought we could suceed
Highschool king and queen
One day honeymooners
We knew we could if we believed

(Chorus)

We believed in love
In this life it's so nice to have someone
To need, to love

And you're the only one I'm thinking of
Winter turned to spring
Wedding bells were ringing
That day took our whole lives to come
We gave each other rings
Knowing well the meaning
Cause we knew where our love came from

(Chorus)

And I never had a regret since we said
Our vows of life commitment and no I won't rescind
Our love will never cease as long as we...

(Chorus)

You're not that smart
And you're not that pretty either
And you're not that fun to be around
You got no style
And you never have an opinion
At least not one worth making the sound
But wherever I may go you tag along
And think you make my whole life go all wrong
So I wrote for you this stupid boring song
Your no fun, no, you're not any fun
