Fabricated


Eleven o'clock news today, fights for TV ratings
It's hard not to believe what I see, but take warning
Media blindfolds bending the truth, suggestions telling me,
Both what I want and what I need.

We are Fabricated
We are Regulated
We will fight to control the truth

Their control of social trends, makes it easy to forget
The choices that I made, were never mine in the first place
But now I found out & I'm opting out to rediscover
Both what I want and what I need

We will fight to control the truth

No Self Control


I was told I had my senses, I was doing fine
But that's all changed, no recollection
Those days I left behind.
You're in my head, it's worse when you're in front of me
When I see you I can't do anything
Your so drop dead I loose all my motor skills
You see me falling are you laughing?

Self Control no self control need no motivation
Self Control no self control need no provocation

Can't stop my thoughts, they follow you everywhere
You move so fast that I get dizzy
And now I trip when I walk next to you
How can I manage this affliction that you've given me
You're in my brain, swirling like a chemical
You leave me on the floor sputtering
The thermostat is useless when I'm with you 98 degrees and I'm still trembling!!!

I can't move forward
I can't look back
I've been crippled by your love attack
It's deep within me it's like a disease
Your burned into my brain I'm losing all my Self Control

Wish I Were American


Sittin' by the fire late at night,
With my friends talking about the good times
Keys were good, can't complain this time
Soaked up lots of sun down at the beach

I'm not concerned underneath the winter sky,
Of what lies on the other side
Knock back a few more rolling rock
I wonder if they're alcohol free?

So this Is America?
Far from the sleet and misery.
Don't ruin my euphoria,
Seems like livin' here comes here easily
I wis I were american

Would I be a Democrat or Republican,
Livin large in the land of the free
Do you wish you were American?
Does your blood run red white and blue?

So this Is America?
Leaders of Democracy
Don't ruin my euphoria,
And tell me what I do not see
So this Is America?
Bless this land of the free
Don't ruin my euphoria,
And tell me what I do not see
I wish I were american...

Evaluation Day


You want to tell your boss what you've been thinking
You want to make sure he knows what your doing
Work overtime never show up late,
Sweat for the company and hope for a raise
It's one more week until evaluation day
Your setting up your boss just to give you that raise
Smiling so much your cheeks are getting sore
Hate the things you do just to get a little more

Need some time to think it over

These are the days you get to work on time,
Tow the company line to get a raise next time
These are the days that you try to be seen,
Be the bosses pet when your playing for the team

Filling out the forms as you've been told
You deserve more cash for the crap you take
You long for the day when your boss is on vacation
Dreaming of the day when your boss takes a vacation
You want to tell your boss what your really thinking
You want to let him know that his company sucks
Wouldn't it be nice to flip him the finger
But you're just going to sit there and take it in the ssa

Need some time to think it over

These are the days that you try to be seen,
Be the bosses dream and your playing for the team
These are the days that you're dressing all fresh,
Trying to impress when it's time for a rest
These are the days that you try to be seen,
Be the bosses wet dream makes you want to scream
These are the days that you get to work on time
Tow the company line until the day you die!

Blind


There's something wrong something so very wrong that's all that I know
Sitting up all night yeah I'm up all night where did my composure go
Everything is racing
Try to understand this
What have I started?
My passion takes advantage

On and on and on again, Underrated.
How could I have been so blind?

I've missed the signs so many many times took it all for granted
yet another mistake that I can't retake, blew all of my chances
I'm only dreaming my heart keeps scheming but I could never notice,
Notice that she's something

She's something, she's something, she's something Underrated

I've figured it out yeah I've figured it out there's nothing I can do.
C'uz it's too late oh it's too late at least I know she's something

She's something, she's something, she's something Underrated

How could I have been so blind?

Stupid Present


Your face, got all bunched up
I could sense the tension in the air,
You're pretty good at pretending but there's no way of fooling me
You said, how it was perfect
I tried to believe your claim,
I knew what you wanted was a receipt for an exchange

I tried, please forgive me! For the stupid present that I gave you...

I knew, what you wanted
How could I have been so stupid?
What was I thinking when I picked it off the shelf?
If I could, (if you could!) only try again
But I suppose that it's too late, next year is so far away you know you can't wait till then

I tried, please forgive me! For the stupid present that I gave you...

I had good intentions had I only paid attention to the request you made the other night
What was I thinking I must have been drinking when I picked it off the shelf?

I tried, please forgive me! For the stupid present that I gave you...

Struggle


A million dollar question
What's the winning look for this year?
The game is on and seasons in full swing
Stakes are high pick your invitations

Careful not to push or shove
If you want in on the new idea
Who will be the first to unite?
Stand up and check your invitation

Sorry if I act this way, these are things that I can't change
Courage is my only hope; I struggle as I try to cope

A million dollar question
What's the winning look for this year?
The game is on and the pace is picking up
Place your bets no room for hesitation

The trick is to show some love
If you want in on the next idea
Gotta say you're in the know
Stand up and check your invitations

Sorry if I have to say, you'll never see me last this way
Courage is my only hope; I struggle as I try to cope

Sorry if I act this way, these are things that I can't change
Courage is my only hope; I struggle as I try to cope

You will never see me act this way
Must I always be the one to bleed?

It's Over


Don't wanna see you again don't want to hear of you

When it is over it is over

Won't speak of you again
Wish I never knew you
Thinking of your face makes me ill

Safe to say that I messed up
Safe to say that I screwed up
The time has come for me to face up
There's no way out but at least it's over

Don't wanna see you again don't want to hear of you

When it is over it is over

Won't speak of you again
Wish I never knew you
Thinking of your face makes me ill
It's over

Never should have trusted you
Never should have thought good of you
Many times I try to get through to you
You let me down but I let you

Don't wanna see you again don't want to hear of you

When it is over it is over

Won't speak of you again
Wish I never knew you
Thinking of your face makes me ill

There's no way out, at least it's over

Hey Hey


Locked into the moment, things get so intense
No chance to take a second, see what you’re up against
It was a simple plan, but not what you expected
You took a wrong turn and lost all perspective

You’re unaware of what went wrong

Hey hey, the clock’s still ticking
Do what you do cause you’re thinking of yourself
Hey, hey the clock’s still ticking
Do what you do but you’ll soon run out of time

What did you do it for? Your wife or family?
A bright shiny car, all of which you never see
And if you had the strength, would you make a change?

It’s still not too late, but time is slipping away

Hey hey, the clock’s still ticking
Do what you do cause you’re thinking of yourself
Hey, hey the clock’s still ticking
Do what you do but you’ll soon run out of time

Goin' Out


Only girls allowed inside so we stood by the entrance
There was no way for us to ever get in
Saw a man wearing a Speedo his t-shirt was tucked in
From the bar, we were listening to a bad punk band

Were goin out tonight feeling alright, far from the grind just for one night
Were goin out alright on this town, spare me the truth don't let us down

By bakers blvd. It was hot outside again
A few kids were in the water so we all jumped in
Floated on the river all the locals were breaking the laws
And it was all right and we rolled up again

Were goin out tonight feeling alright, far from the grind just for one night
Were goin out alright on this town, spare me the truth don't let us down

It's just not cool to transcribe this part (go Ronnie go!)

Somewhere near central station we lost our way back home
The number 14 was coming round the bend
In the streets late at night, Tim's fire was rising high
What a riot just one night on this town

Spare me the truth, don't let us down...

Record Collector


I’ve got my walking shoes on
I’m off to the record shop
Going downtown
Want to see what can be found

I’m downtown at the record shop
Quite a scene at the record shop
I’ve come to find some old Chris Spedding
Maybe Rico or Otis Redding

Record Collector
Spending my money
Cause it’s all mine

Making my rounds
Shopping downtown
I got my hit detector
I’m a record collector

See that girl with the Pearl Jam sweater
Makes me wish I liked Eddie Vetter
I’m a record collector

Spending my money
Cause it’s all mine

She's Late


Don't tell me the date, I know it all too well
I believe the state I'm in is close to hell
I'm learning to pray, thinking deception
Maybe I'll just say "Immaculate conception"

She's late she's late, my fear I can't hide
She's late she's late, will it be alright?
She's late she's late, is there something inside her tummy?

I wish I could I find this funny

Which way is reverse on this time machine?
Should of thought first, and used a magazine
I'm changing my life, no sex where I'm heading
I don't need a wife or a shotgun wedding

Rambler


I got my lift kit
I'm tanked up
Tuned into my CB
And I'm revved

Jam it in high gear
Jumping off the track
Got my baby on the bench seat
My guitar on her back

Out in the Rambler
Tearing around town
I got my eyes on you baby
Gonna shut you down

Peeling down the strip
I don't care about the cops
400 miles an hour
Never gonna stop

Here comes the man
Lookin' for a bust
They try to catch my machine but they can eat my dust!!

Sk8 Or Die


The old school, is better than the new school
Our stunts, were stupider than your stunts
In the day knee pads were laughed at, we knew how to mess ourselves up
Climb on to the roof real high and jump from the top

The old school, is better than the new school
Our stunts, were stupider than your stunts
But first remember you only get one chance
Don't break your leg... Acid Drop!
There was pogoing and freestyling back when ramps were rad
What a great ride he's gleaming the cube right on it's rad woo-hoo
Steve caballero and Tony Hawk the elite of the bones brigade
Dwayne peters invented pool skating for me and you

Grab your skateboard and climb real high jump off don't die
But first remember you only get one chance don't break your leg... acid drop

There I stood on the roof of my parent's garage
The wind blew through my hair as I looked down at the yard
I felt like a NASA scientist on his first day of work, about to defy the laws of gravity
The crowd behind me said they'd give me to a count of three and then they'd push
But they only counted to two
Sk8 os die Sk8 or die Sk8 or die Sk8 or die or die
