Welcome to the disclaimer!
That's right, the disclaimer!
This 'Merican apple pie institution known as parental discretion
Will cleanse any sense of innuendo or sarcasm
From the lyrics that might actually make you think
And will also insult your intelligence at the same time
So protect your family
This album contains explicit depictions of things which are real
These real things are commonly known as life
So, if it sounds sarcastic, don't take it seriously
If it sounds dangerous, do not try this at home or at all
And if it offends you, just don't listen to it
The Meaning of Life Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On the way, tryna get where I'd like to stay
I'm always feelin' steered away
By someone tryin' to tell me
What to say and do
I don't want it, I gotta go find my own way
Gotta go make my own mistakes
Sorry man for feelin'
Feelin' the way I do
[Chorus]
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Open wide and they'll shove in their meaning of life
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Not for me, I'll do it on my own
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Open wide and swallow their meaning of life
[Post-Chorus]
Can't make it work your way
Thanks but no thanks
[Refrain]
Whoa-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
By the way, I know your path has been tried and so
It may seem like the way to go
Me, I'd rather be found
Tryin' something new
And the bottom line in all of this seems to say
There's no right and wrong way
Sorry if I don't feel like
Livin' the way you do
[Chorus]
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Open wide and they'll shove in their meaning of life
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Not for me, I'll do it on my own
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Open wide and swallow their meaning of life
[Post-Chorus]
Can't make it work your way
Thanks but no thanks
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Open wide and they'll shove in their meaning of life
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Not for me, I'll do it on my own
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Open wide and swallow their meaning of life
[Post-Chorus]
Can't make it work your way
Thanks but no thanks
[Refrain]
Whoa-oh-oh
Mota Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
Mota!
[Verse 1]
Every day, well, it's the same
That bong that's on the table starts to call my name
I take a hit and zone out again
I'll be paranoid and hungry by a quarter to ten
Watching reruns on my TV
I'm laughing off my ass at Three's Company
I don't know if I'm understood
But hearing Jimmy Buffett never sounded so good
[Chorus]
Your memory's gone and so is your life
(Your life!) Mota boy
But losing out just never felt so right
Your enemy's you and so is your life
(Your life!) Mota boy
But losing out might feel okay all night
[Post-Chorus]
Mota!
[Verse 2]
I'm driving down to the barrio
Going 15 miles an hour 'cause I'm already stoned
Give the guy a twenty and wait in the car
He tosses me a baggie, then he runs real far
I take a hit, but it smells like a clove
Oh fuck, I got a baggie of oregano
This ritual is destroying me
But I guess it could be worse, it could be methedrine (Oh, yeah!)
[Chorus]
Your memory's gone and so is your life
(Your life!) Mota boy
But losing out just never felt so right
Your enemy's you and your couch is your life
(Your life!) Mota boy
But losing out might take
Losing out might take you all night
[Post-Chorus]
Mota!
[Chorus]
Your memory's gone and so is your life
(Your life!) Mota boy
But losing out just never felt so right
Your enemy's you and this is your life
(Your life!) Mota boy
But losing out might feel okay all night (All night)
Yeah, losing out might feel okay all life
Me & My Old Lady Lyrics
[Verse 1]
How does it feel
When you have it all?
How can you live
With nothing at all?
Where do you run?
Where do you go?
The holes in your truth
Are starting to show
[Chorus]
And the rain comes
And the world is on my head
Crave the sun
But I can't get out of bed
[Verse 2]
How can you take
Without giving back?
How does it work
When it's really cracked?
How does it feel?
(And no wonder hearts and minds have been won)
How does it feel?
(And I wonder how it's all come undone)
[Chorus]
And the rain comes
And the world is on my head
Crave the sun
But I can't get out of bed
[Bridge]
Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, you're sliding (Sliding)
Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, can't hide it
Tell me who do you see?
’Cause you look a lot like me
[Verse 3]
How can you take
Without giving back?
Who do you see?
’Cause you look a lot like me
[Bridge]
Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, you're sliding (Sliding)
Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, can't hide it (Hide it)
Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, you're sliding (Sliding)
Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, can't hide it
[Chorus]
And the rain comes
And the world is on my head
Crave the sun
But I can't get out of bed
[Bridge]
Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, you're sliding (Sliding)
Want it, you got it, you're sorry you bought it, can't hide it
Tell me who do you see?
’Cause you look a lot like me
[Outro]
You look a lot like me
You look a lot
You look a lot like me, ooh
You look a lot like me, ooh
You look a lot like me, ooh
You look a lot like me, ooh
You look a lot like me, ooh
You look a lot like me, ooh
Cool to Hate Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I hate a lotta things, I hate a lotta people that are lame
I like to hate stuff, 'cause then I don't have to try to make a change
[Pre-Chorus]
I hate teachers, I hate school
I hate the cheerleaders and anyone who's cool, yeah
I hate the office, I hate the Quad
Don't wanna learn nothing, I want to be a slob
[Chorus]
It's cool to hate (Hey) It's cool to hate (Ho-oh)
Don't like nothing, and I like that fine
It's cool to hate (Hey) It's cool to hate (Ho-oh)
Don't like nothing, and I like that fine
Don't like nothing, and I like that fine
Yeah, I hate everything, I even hate you too, so fuck you
[Verse 2]
I'm always thinking that I never have nothing good to say
I'd rather tear things down than build them up, it's easier that way
[Pre-Chorus]
I hate the jocks and I hate the geeks
I hate the trendies, but I also hate the freaks, yeah
I hate Dr. Martens and Muscle T's
I'm only happy when I'm in my misery
[Chorus]
It's cool to hate (Hey) It's cool to hate (Ho-oh)
Likin' something's just a waste of time
It's cool to hate (Hey) It's cool to hate (Ho-oh)
Likin' something's just a waste of time
Likin' something's just a waste of time
Yeah, I hate everything, I even hate me too, so fuck you
[Interlude]
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
[Bridge]
It's cool to hate
It's cool to hate
It's cool to hate
It's cool to hate
[Breakdown]
Cut you down and give you lip
Being positive's so unhip
Cut you down, 'cause I'm a fool
Being positive's so uncool
Being positive's so uncool
Being positive's so uncool
[Pre-Chorus]
So, I hate the jocks and I hate the geeks
I hate the trendies, but I also hate the freaks, yeah
I hate your band and I hate TV
I'm only happy when I'm in my misery
[Chorus]
It's cool to hate (Hey) It's cool to hate (Ho-oh)
Don't like nothin', and I like that fine
It's cool to hate (Hey) It's cool to hate (Ho-oh)
Don't like nothin', and I like that fine
Don't like nothin' and I like that fine
Yeah, I hate everything, I even hate you too, so fuck you
Leave It Behind Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Rage that burns, can't push it aside now
Can't forgive, this grudge is alive now
All the rage eats you up inside
[Refrain]
Can you leave it behind?
Leave it behind
[Verse 2]
What a surprise, you're fucked with again, yeah!
It's a way of life you need to get over
All the rage just eats you alive
[Refrain]
Can you leave it behind?
Leave it behind
[Chorus]
I don't know where it'll end
The sun has set and I can't be friends
I don't know if I can forgive
The day is long, but you were so dead wrong
[Verse 3]
What a surprise, you're fucked with again, yeah!
It's a way of life you need to get over
All the rage just eats you alive
[Refrain]
Can you leave it behind?
Leave it behind
[Chorus]
I don't know where it'll end
The sun has set and I can't be friends
I don't know if I can forgive
The day is long, but you were so dead wrong
[Outro]
I don't know where it'll end
The sun has set and I can't be friends
I don't know if I can forgive
The day is long, but you were so dead wrong
Gone Away Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal, it's so unfair
[Chorus]
And it feels, and it feels like
Heaven is so far away
And it feels, yeah, it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away
[Verse 2]
Leavin' flowers on your grave
To show that I still care
Black roses and "Hail Mary's"
Can't bring back what's taken from me
[Pre-Chorus]
I reach to the sky and call out your name
And if I could trade, I would
[Chorus]
And it feels, and it feels like
Heaven is so far away
And it stings, yeah, it stings, now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away
[Post-Chorus]
Gone away, gone away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ooh
Yeah ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh yeah
[Bridge]
I'll save your soul, woah
Yeah, yeah, ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
I reach to the sky and call out your name
Oh, please let me trade, I would
[Chorus]
And it feels, and it feels like
Heaven is so far away
And it feels, yeah, it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away
[Post-Chorus]
Gone away, gone away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ooh
Yeah ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh yeah
Yeah ooh, yeah ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh yeah
I Choose Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Look at me, I'm fallin' off of a cliff now
I can still hear my mama yelling, "No! No! No!"
But the words mean nothin', can't catch up to me now
The view is so beautiful all the way down
When I was a little boy suckin' juice from a bottle
Believing my perceptions were oh so real
But I didn't know nothin', still, knowing nothin'
Was just enough for me to know the way I feel
[Chorus]
This is life
What a fucked-up thing we do
What a nightmare come true
Or a playground, if we choose
And I choose
[Verse 2]
Look at me, I'm swollen like a banana fish now
I'm never gonna make it, make it out of my hole
But I keep on laughin', doesn't really matter
There's dozens of reasons for explaining my soul
When I was a teenager, suckin' booze with the Vatos
Discussing who was gonna live to be twenty-one
They said they wouldn't make it; they didn't make it
We're all naked when the day is said and done
[Chorus]
This is life
What a fucked-up thing we do
What a nightmare come true
Or a playground, if we choose
And I choose
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Don't know who made this all come true
Now, while you're here, just gotta do
What you gotta do
One, two, three, four!
[Interlude]
Ooh-woah-ooh-woah-ooh-woah-ooh
[Verse 3]
Now, if I wasn't such a weenie, do you think you'd still love me?
Pretending I'm an airplane on the living room floor
Like a lovely generator, you stand right by me
And if words were wisdom, I'd be talkin' even more
So I keep on fallin' as I'm lookin' back above me
Watching as my mama just becomes a little dot (Dot!)
Now I'm, I'm like DeNiro, I'm Amarillo
And I'll never know when I hit the ground
[Chorus]
This is life
What a fucked-up thing we do
What a nightmare come true
Or a playground, if we choose
Said choose
Said choose
And I choose
Intermission Lyrics
[Intro]
Welcome to Intermission
[Instrumental Break]
[Interlude]
Yeah, Intermission
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Ah...
Ah...
All I Want Lyrics
[Intro]
Okay! Ya ya ya ya ya!
[Verse 1]
Day after day (Your home life's a wreck)
The powers that be just breathe down your neck
You get no respect (You get no relief)
You gotta speak up and yell out your piece
[Pre-Chorus]
So back off your rules, back off the jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, askin' a lot
I don't wanna be controlled
[Chorus]
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya!
[Verse 2]
How many times (Is it gonna take)
'Til someone around you hears what you say?
You've tried bein' cool (You feel like a lie)
You've played by their rules, now it's their turn to try
[Pre-Chorus]
So back off your rules, back off your jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, not asking a lot
Just don't want to be controlled
[Chorus]
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
[Bridge]
I said it before, I'll say it again
If you could just listen, then it might make sense
[Pre-Chorus]
So back off your rules, back off your jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, not asking a lot
Just don't want to be controlled
[Chorus]
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
[Outro]
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya!
Way Down the Line Lyrics
[Intro]
Nothing changes, 'cause it's all the same
The world you get's the one you give away
It all just happens again, way down the line
[Verse 1]
There is a chain that's never broken
You know the story, it's sad, but true
An angry man gets drunk and beats his kids
The same old way his drunken father did
What comes around, well, it goes around
[Chorus]
Nothing changes, 'cause it's all the same
The world you get's the one you give away
It all just happens again, way down the line
[Verse 2]
At seventeen, Shannon is pregnant
Young as her mom when she had her
Her kid is never gonna have a dad
The same old way that Shannon never had
What comes around, well, it goes around
[Chorus]
Nothing changes, 'cause it's all the same
The world you get's the one you give away
It all just happens again, way down the line
And all the things you learn when you're a kid
You'll fuck up just like your parents did
It all just happens again, way down the line
[Bridge]
And welfare moms have kids on welfare
And fat parents, they have fat kids too
You know it's never gonna end
The same old cycle's gonna start again
What comes around, well, it goes around
[Chorus]
Nothing changes, 'cause it's all the same
The world you get's the one you give away
It all just happens again, way down the line
And all the things you learn when you're a kid
You'll fuck up just like your parents did
It all just happens again, way down the line
Don’t Pick It Up Lyrics
[Intro]
Don't pick it up, yo!
[Verse 1]
I saw a little kid as he walked around
He picked a candy bar up off the ground
He chowed about a half then his face turned blue
Turned out that candy bar was a doggy-doo
[Chorus]
(Whoa-oh) Don't pick it up I say
(Whoa-oh) Unless you can throw it away
(Whoa-oh) Don't pick it up I say
You're gonna be bummed that you went that way
[Verse 2]
You're out there makin' bacon, no scrutiny
You mess around too much and you got VD
You know you never think and you're sore today
You're gonna take it back to Californ-I-A
[Chorus]
(Whoa-oh) Don't pick it up I say
(Whoa-oh) Unless you can throw it away
(Whoa-oh) Don't pick it up I say
You're gonna be bummed that you went that way
[Interlude]
Don't! Don't! Don't! Don't!
(Pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up!)
So...
[Verse 3]
My friend was kinda hurtin' a girl to try
He saw one that looked like Pat on Saturday Night Live
It had a pair of thingies, a mustache too
Not clearly male nor female, so what to do
[Chorus]
(Whoa-oh) Don't pick it up I say
(Whoa-oh) Unless you can throw it away
(Whoa-oh) Don't pick it up I say
You're gonna be bummed that you went that way
Amazed Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sometimes, I think I'm gonna drown
'Cause everyone around's so hollow
And I'm alone
Sometimes, I think I'm going down
But no one makes a sound, they follow
And I'm alone
[Pre-Chorus]
(Oh) Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
(No) Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Yeah, and if I make it, I'd be amazed
Just to find tomorrow
Yeah, one more day, and I'd be amazed
Just to see it waiting
Yeah, and if I make it, I'm still alone
No more hope for better days
If I could change
Then I'd really be amazed
[Verse 2]
And when you know you can't relate
To one more shiny face, your heart breaks
And no one cares
And when you know you can't go on
'Cause everything is wrong, your heart breaks
And no one's there
[Pre-Chorus]
(Oh) Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
(No) Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Yeah, and if I make it, I'd be amazed
Just to find tomorrow
Yeah, one more day, and I'd be amazed
Just to see it waiting
Yeah, and if I make it, I'm still alone
No more hope for better days
If I could change
Then I'd really be amazed
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Yeah, and if I make it, I'd be amazed
Just to find tomorrow
Yeah, one more day, and I'd be amazed
Just to see it waiting
Yeah, and if I make it, I'm still alone
No more hope for better days
If I could change
Then I'd really be amazed
Change the World Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I see the way the salesmen stare into the sun
I stood and watched them as they fell off one by one
And everyone's so blind, there not to help mankind
Reach into your bag of tricks and pull another one
[Pre-Chorus]
Whoa-oh! You don't wanna change the world like you say
Whoa-oh! In it for yourself, no one else
[Chorus]
(Whoa-oh!) You're ready, saving yourself
You're gonna change the world
(Whoa-oh!) You're ready, saving yourself
You're gonna change the world
[Verse 2]
Now when the day is set, they'll line up all the same
And those that need the most will never get or gain
The ones you call your friends are failing you again
Reach into your bag of tricks and make it go away
[Pre-Chorus]
Whoa-oh! You don't wanna change the world like you say
Whoa-oh! In it for yourself, no one else
[Chorus]
(Whoa-oh!) You're ready, saving yourself
You're gonna change the world
(Whoa-oh!) You're ready, saving yourself
You're gonna change the world
[Post-Chorus]
(Whoa-oh!) And since you ain't what you say
Then just go away
'Cause some don't lie
Some don't lie
[Bridge]
Go on now, they won't tell
Go on now, save yourself
Go on now, they won't tell
Go on now, save yourself
Go on now, they won't tell
Go on now, save yourself
Go on now, they won't tell
Go on now, save yourself
[Pre-Chorus]
I said whoa-oh! You don't wanna change the world like you say
Whoa-oh! In it for yourself, no one else
[Chorus]
(Whoa-oh!) You're ready, saving yourself
You're gonna change the world
(Whoa-oh!) You're ready, saving yourself
You're gonna change the world
[Post-Chorus]
(Whoa-oh!) And since you ain't what you say
Then just go away
'Cause some don't lie
Some don't lie
[Outro]
I think you guys should try heavy metal
Kiss my ass! Ha, ha, ha, ha
