Track Lyrics

Troublemaker Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Put me in a special school because I am such a fool

And I don't need a single book to teach me how to read

Who needs stupid books? They are for petty crooks

And I will learn by studying the lessons in my dreams

So turn off the TV, 'cause that's what others see

And movies are as bad as eating chocolate ice cream

They only sicken me, don't let me play football

I'll sack the quarterback and jack the brother of the ball

[Chorus]

I'm a troublemaker, never been a faker

Doing things my own way and never giving up

I'm a troublemaker, not a double-taker

I don't have the patience to keep it on the up

[Verse 2]

I picked up a guitar, what does this signify?

I'm going to play some heavy metal riffs and you will die

You wanted arts and crafts? How's this for arts and crafts?

Wanananananananananananananananana, that's right!

I'm growing out my hair, I'm moving out to Cherokee

I'm going to be a rock star and you are going to bear with me

Because I can't work a job like any other slob

Punching in and punching out and sucking up to Bob

Marrying a beeyotch, having seven keeyods

Giving up and growing old and hoping there's a God

[Chorus]

I'm a troublemaker, never been a faker

Doing things my own way and never giving up

I'm a troublemaker, not a double-taker

I don't have the patience to keep it on the up

[Bridge]

I'm going to be a star and people will crane necks

To get a glimpse of me and see if I am having sex

And studying my moves, they try to understand

Why I am so unlike the singers in the other bands

I'm such a mystery as anyone can see

There isn't anybody else exactly quite like me

And when it's party time, like 1999

I'll party by myself because I'm such a special guy

[Chorus]

I'm a troublemaker, never been a faker

Doing things my own way and never giving up

I'm a troublemaker, not a double-taker

I don't have the patience to keep it on the up

[Outro]

Keep it on the up, I'm a troublemaker

Keep it on the up, I'm a troublemaker, never giving up

The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations on a Shaker Hymn) Lyrics

[Intro: Live Piano]

[Verse 1 (Rap)]

You try to play cool like you just don't care

But soon I'll be playin' in your underwear

I'm like a mage with the magic spell

You come like a dog when I ring your bell

I got the money and I got the fame

You got the hots to ride on my plane

You givin' me all that I desire

'Cause down with me, I'm taking you higher

[Verse 2 (Slipknot)]

I'm the baddest of the bad, I'm the best that you've ever had

I'm the tops, I'm the thing, all the girls get up when I sing, yeah

I'm the meanest in the place, step up, I'll mess with your face

I don't care where you are, look up and follow the star

[Verse 3 (Jeff Buckley)]

I, I'm gonna tear down the wall

I may not be here when you call, so best be givin' me your all

Ooh

[Verse 4 (Choral)]

After the havoc that I'm gonna wreak

No more words will critics have to speak

I've got the answers to the tangled knot

Sleep tight in your cot

[Verse 5 (Aerosmith)]

Oh baby, I've been told I'm goin' crazy

Oh baby, well, I can't be held down

Oh baby, somehow, I'm keeping it steady

Oh baby, I'm tearing up this town

[Verse 6: (Nirvana)]

Hey, this is what I like

Cut my heart with a martyr's spike

Hey, this is nothing new

I've got more than enough for you

[Verse 7 (Andrews Sisters)]

I can take on anybody, I can do my thing

I don't wanna hurt nobody but a bee has got to sting

I'ma fix it if you mix it up, hoot, hoot

Talk smack, and I'm-a gonna shut you up, hoot, hoot

[Verse 8 (Green Day)]

I am the greatest man that ever lived

I was born to give (I was born to give)

I am the greatest man that ever lived, oh

Radioactive (Radioactive)

[Spoken Word (Elvis' "Are You Lonesome Tonight?")]

Somebody said all the world's a stage

And each of us is a player, that's what I've been tryin' to tell you

In Act 1, I was struggling to survive

Nobody wanted my action dead or alive

Act 2, I hit the big time

And bodies be all up on my behind

And I can't help myself

Because I was born to shine

If you don't like it, you can shove it

But you don't like it, you love it

So I'll be up here in a rage

'Til they bring the curtain down on the stage

[Verse 9 (Bach & Beethoven)]

I'm the greatest man that ever lived

[Verse 10: Weezer]

I am the greatest man that ever lived

I was born to give and give and give

I am the greatest man that ever lived

Radioact-dioact-dioact-dioactive

I am the greatest man that ever lived

I was born to give

Woo! Hoo! Hoo!

Pork and Beans Lyrics

[Verse 1]

They say I need some Rogaine to put in my hair

Working out at the gym to fit my underwear

Oakley makes the shades that transform a tool

You'd hate for the kids to think that you lost your cool

[Chorus]

I'ma do the things that I wanna do

I ain't got a thing to prove to you

I'll eat my candy with the pork and beans

Excuse my manners if I make a scene

[Post-Chorus]

I ain't gonna wear the clothes that you like

I'm fine and dandy with the me inside

One look in the mirror and I'm tickled pink

I don't give a hoot about what you think

[Verse 2]

Everyone likes to dance to a happy song, hey, hey

With a catchy chorus and beat so they can sing along, hey, hey

Timbaland knows the way to reach the top of the charts, hey!

Maybe if I work with him, I can perfect the art

[Chorus]

I'ma do the things that I wanna do

I ain't got a thing to prove to you

I'll eat my candy with the pork and beans

Excuse my manners if I make a scene

[Post-Chorus]

I ain't gonna wear the clothes that you like

I'm fine and dandy with the me inside

One look in the mirror and I'm tickled pink

I don't give a hoot about what you think

[Bridge]

No, I don't care, I don't care

I don't care, I don't care, I don't care, I don't care

[Chorus]

I'ma do the things that I wanna do

I ain't got a thing to prove to you

I'll eat my candy with the pork and beans

Excuse my manners if I make a scene

[Post-Chorus]

I ain't gonna wear the clothes that you like

I'm fine and dandy with the me inside

One look in the mirror and I'm tickled pink

I don't give a hoot about what you think

Heart Songs Lyrics

[The Wreck of the] Edmund Fitzgerald’ when I was 5 to Nirvana’s Nevermind.”[Verse 1]

Gordon Lightfoot sang a song about a boat that sank

In the lake at the break of the morning

A cat named Stevens found a faith he could believe in

And Joan Baez, I never listened to too much jazz

But hippie songs could be heard in our pad

Eddie Rabbitt sang about how much he loved a rainy night

ABBA, Devo, Benatar were there the day John Lennon died

Mr. Springsteen said he had a hungry heart

Grover Washington was happy on the day he topped the charts

These are the songs

[Chorus]

These are my heart songs

They never feel wrong

And when I wake for goodness sake

These are the songs I keep singin'

[Verse 2]

Quiet Riot got me started with the bangin' of my head

Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Slayer taught me how to shred

I gotta admit though, sometimes I would listen to the radio

Debbie Gibson, tell me that you think we're all alone

Michael Jackson's in the mirror, I've gotta have faith if I wanna see clear

Never gonna give you up, wish me love or wishing well

It takes two to make a thing go right, if the Fresh Prince starts a fight

Don't you worry for too long cause you know these are the songs

[Chorus]

These are my heart songs

They never feel wrong

And when I wake for goodness sake

These are the songs I keep singin'

[Bridge]

Back in 1991, I wasn't havin' any fun

'Til my roommate said, "Come on and put a brand new record on"

Had a baby on it, he was naked on it

Then I heard the chords that broke the chains I had upon me

Got together with my bros, in some rehearsal studios

Then we played our first rock show

And watched the fan base start to grow

Signed the deal that gave the dough to make a record of our own

The song come on the radio, now people go, this is the song

[Chorus]

These are my heart songs (These are my songs)

They never feel wrong (Never feel wrong)

And when I wake for goodness sake

These are the songs I keep singing

[Outro]

These are the songs I keep singing (These are my heart songs)

These are the songs I keep singing (They never feel wrong)

These are the songs I keep singing (And when I wake for goodness sake)

These are the songs I keep singing

Everybody Get Dangerous Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When I was younger

I used to go and tip cows for fun, yeah

Actually I didn't do that

Because I didn't want the cow to be sad

But some of my friends did

They were all just a little bit wicked

They'd blow up mail boxes

With a baseball bat

Go for direct hits

On Halloween you can forget it

They throw rotten eggs into traffic

Toilet paper the fences

Throw the tables, chairs, and the benches

After practice

Sometimes we would break into mad fits

Causing damage

(Burning amplifiers and mic stands)

[Chorus]

Everybody get dangerous

Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!)

Everybody get dangerous

Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!)

Everybody get dangerous

Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!)

Everybody get dangerous

[Verse 2]

I've got a confession

That I will make if you will listen

Late in the nighttimes

We'd drive around with hairspray and sharp knives

Looking for road kills

Lighting things on fire for cheap thrills

Stab the corpses

And lick the knives like we're evil forces

Hockey games on frozen ponds

No safety pads were ever put on

Driving home on country roads

Sixty-five in a twenty-five zone

In my parents' Tercel

How did we survive so well?

Throw the keys and the wheel locked up

I almost killed every one of us

[Chorus]

Everybody get dangerous

Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!)

Everybody get dangerous

Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!)

Everybody get dangerous

Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!)

Everybody get dangerous

[Verse 3]

There must be

A guardian angel

Or some kind of destiny we have

Because we should have died

A long time ago

The way that we were living in our pasts

What will we say when our kids come to us

And ask, with a smile on their face

"Hey Dad, my friend's got some new ninja swords!

Is it cool if we slash up his place?"

Hey

Hey ("Is it cool if we slash up his place?")

And get dangerous

[Chorus]

Everybody get dangerous

Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!)

Everybody get dangerous

Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!)

Everybody get dangerous

Everybody get dangerous (Boo yah!)

Everybody get dangerous

[Outro]

(Ow!)

Ow!

Gow!

Gow! (Yee, hee ha!)

Gow!

Dreamin’ Lyrics

[Chorus 1]

I'm dreaming in the morning

I'm dreaming all through the night

And when I'm dreaming I know that it's all right

Woo-hoo-hoah

I'm dreaming in the evening

Dreaming all through the day

And when I'm dreaming I know that it's okay

Woo-hoo-hoah

[Verse 1]

Daddy says I got to pay some bills

So I can learn to be responsible

Someday I'll have a family of my own

And they will need for me to be full grown

[Chorus 1]

But I'm dreaming in the morning

I'm dreaming all through the night

And when I'm dreaming I know that it's all right

Woo-hoo-hoah

I'm dreaming in the evening

Dreaming all through the day

And when I'm dreaming I know that it's okay

Woo-hoo-hoah

[Verse 2]

Teacher says I got to learn some facts

So I can make it in the Widener Stacks

These are days that will define my life

I shouldn't waste them on these friends of mine

[Bridge]

But oh, I got to be a big boy

(Because I really want a chance)

Whoa, I got to pick up my toys

(Because I really want a chance)

When I start to feel the feeling coming over me

(I really want a chance)

I soon forget all about responsibility

(I really want a chance)

I walk around in a wide-awake daydream

(I really want a chance)

Things are better out here than they might seem...

[The Dream Sequence]

[Verse 1]

There are bluebirds in the meadow

And the bees are flying around

And the goslings at the river

At a loss so far from the ground

[Chorus 2]

I am running through the meadow

And the sun is shining on me

I am singing, my voice is ringing

I can sing so loud

[Verse 2]

And the angels in the heavens

They are wondering

Why am I so glad? Why am I so glad?

Why am I so? Why am I so?

[Chorus 2]

I am running through the meadow

And the sun is shining on me

I am singing, my voice is ringing

I can sing so loud...

[Chorus 1]

I'm dreaming in the morning

I'm dreaming all through the night

And when I'm dreaming I know that it's all right

Woo-hoo-hoah

I'm dreaming in the evening

Dreaming all through the day

And when I'm dreaming I know that it's okay

Woo-hoo-hoah

[Outro]

I don't want to get with your program

Take back the love

Thought I Knew Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sorry about my past life

Sorry, but we just missed

Sorry it had to end up like this

Sorry if I caused you pain

Sorry, I forgot your name

Sorry, but you left me out in the rain

[Chorus]

Thought I knew you better then

Thought I knew your intentions

Thought I knew, but didn't have a clue

Not a single damn thing was true

[Verse 2]

Sorry if I caused you harm

Sorry, I'm no good luck charm

Sorry you didn't end up in my arms

[Chorus]

Thought I knew you better then

Thought I knew your intentions

Thought I knew, but didn't have a clue

Not a single damn thing was true

[Bridge]

Now that our world's gone dark

We've drained the well, blew out the spark

And now we're left with broken hearts

Trying to find a new place to start

[Chorus]

Thought I knew you better then

Thought I knew your intentions

Thought I knew, but didn't have a clue

Not a single damn thing was true

Thought I knew you better then

Thought I knew your intentions

Thought I knew, but didn't have a clue

Not a single damn thing was true

Cold Dark World Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've been watching you, girl, from the back of my car

I see you're unsure of the place that you are

Groceries spilling up out of your bag

Thinking you'll end up a penniless hag

But I see the girl that you are deep inside

Won't you allow me to give you a ride?

I can console you and give you a kiss

Show you that you can do better than this

[Chorus]

Angel girl in a cold dark world

I'm going to be your man

Angel girl in a cold dark world

I'll make you understand

[Verse 2]

I know that you're thinking I'm trying to score

But deep in your heart you know that I'm more

Than a cad or a scoundrel, now that I've found you

I don't want to lose you, how can I prove to you

That I am sincere, you don't need to fear

I'm not like the others, I'll be like a brother

I will protect you, never disrespect you

But if you need love then I'll be here to sex you

[Chorus]

Angel girl in a cold dark world

I'm going to be your man, I'm gonna be there

Angel girl in a cold dark world

I'll make you understand

[Bridge]

It might take a while to get with the style

Of life at the end of the miracle mile

But you're going to love the rising above

All the trash that is sweeping you under the rug

I'm going to be there

[Chorus]

Angel girl in a cold dark world

I'm going to be your man

I'm gonna be there

Angel girl in a cold dark world

I'll make you understand

I'm gonna be there

Angel girl, angel girl

I'm gonna be your man

Angel girl, angel girl

I'll make you understand

Oh-Woah-Woah

Automatic Lyrics

[Verse 1]

How am I going to

Deliver you a mountain size of love?

How do oceans connected by a straw

Get something through?

I might need some time to remember

Need some time to remember

[Chorus]

Hey, it's automatic when you know it

Hey, it's automatic when you feel it

[Verse 2]

When do I lay down

And get to see the world inside your eyes?

How can I reach out

And hold on to the joy you've got inside?

[Chorus]

Hey, it's automatic when you know it

Hey, it's automatic when you feel it

[Bridge]

I got some

But I wanna feel it every hour

'Cause I want to give it to you

[Chorus]

Hey, it's automatic when you know it

Hey, it's automatic when you feel it

[Outro]

Ooh, ooh

The Angel and the One Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's not my destiny to be the one that you will lay with

So many reasons why I have to go but want to stay here

Sometimes I want a taste

But then I don't know what I'm saying

[Refrain]

You are the angel

And I am the one that is praying

[Verse 2]

There is another love

That I would rather be obeying

I see the ecstasy

And already I'm anticipating

[Verse 3]

I feel a deeper peace

And that deeper peace is penetrating

I got the magic in me

I am complete is what I'm saying

[Verse 4]

I'm flying up so high

My purple majesty displaying

I've reached a higher place

That no one else can make a claim in

[Refrain]

I'll take you there, my friend

I'm reaching out my hand, so take it

We are the angels

And we are the ones that are praying

[Outro]

Peace, shalom

Peace, peace

Peace, shalom

Peace, peace

Peace, shalom

Peace, peace

Peace, shalom

Peace, peace

[Instrumental]

Miss Sweeney Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hi, hello, Miss Sweeney, could you please come in my office for a second?

I'm headin' home for the day and I thought it'd be good for you and me to check in

I met with a gal from expo and they do have the "slab" cabinets in white

She thinks we can take measurements down at the site

[Pre-Chorus 1]

If we do that we'll be just fine, Miss Sweeney

That's all I got to say to you at this time, Miss Sweeney

Actually, there's one other thing on my mind

[Chorus]

Girl, you make the rainclouds disappear

The sun always shines when you're near

I'm waiting, until you love me

Sweeney

[Verse 2]

I'm so sorry, Miss Sweeney, I don't know where that came from

I think I was overcome by a spontaneous emotion

Anyway, the cash deposit of five thousand dollars

Will need to be sent to the property owner tomorrow

[Pre-Chorus 2]

If there are any problems with the deposit or contract, don't be afraid to holler

I don't wanna have to approve each stinkin' dollar that we borrow

Aw, forget it, Miss Sweeney

[Chorus]

Girl, you make the rainclouds disappear

The sun always shines when you're near

I'm waiting, until you love me

[Bridge]

Miss Sweeney, I got to admit the truth

I am totally head-over-heels in love with you

Everyday you come to the office lookin' fine

Navy business suit clingin' tightly to your spine

You ask me if I'm ready to get down to work

Sweeney, baby, I'm ready, be my...

[Chorus]

Girl, you make the rainclouds disappear

The sun always shines when you're near

I'm waiting, until you love me...

[Outro]

Girl, you light the skies of my life

I swear, I will make you my wife

I'm waiting, until you love me

Miss Sweeney

Pig Lyrics

[Verse]

When I was a baby, I was so happy

I'd play with my friends in the mud

Wilbur and Jack and Otis and Beatty

We were a gang, you got to believe me

Momma would scold us if we got too rough

She didn't care, she was proud of us

I ran around and talked to the animals

Tellin' 'em stories of savage cannibals

Then I got older and noticed a girl

First I was sure I didn't exist to her

I sulked around, but I didn't know why

Then she put her cheek on my shoulder and I

Was lookin' at her and she was lookin' at me

We started to smile, it was our destiny

Tina was her name, she was my cutie-pie

Forgot about the things I used to like

I spent all my time followin' her around

My friends all made the whiplash sound

But they understood, they was happy for me

And everyone clapped when I asked her to marry me

And she said, "Yes," and we felt so fine

We lost track of the passing of time

Before I knew it we had our own babies

Gina and Shelley and Keebie and Gabe

[Chorus]

But now, I've got to die

I lived a good life, I've got no complaints

I'd like to thank Farmer Pete

For bringin' me scraps of food that I could eat

He always had a smile on his face

He didn't want to think of this day

[Post-Chorus]

It's finally here (It's finally here, it's finally here)

It's finally here (It's finally here)

Whoa-oh-oh

They called me Pig

Oh, oh-oh

[Outro]

When I was a baby, I was so happy

I'd play with my friends in the mud

The Spider Lyrics

[Verse 1]

There's a spider in the drain and he's feeling pain

And he doesn't want to die any more than you or I

He's struggling to live, but he doesn't have much time

Any more than you or I, you or I

[Verse 2]

We've got to die, we've got to live

We got to take what we can get

We sell ourselves for petty change

And when we die we rearrange

[Chorus 1]

It's time to take it back again

I want you to love me like I love you

[Verse 3]

There's nothing more for me to say

I spoke my piece, I'll go on my way

And fare thee well where'er you go

You might need help but I won't know

[Verse 4]

'Cause I'm up in here in my own cell

It could be heaven it could be hell

We'll never know just who we are

'Cause when we die, we become a star

[Verse 5]

And stars can't talk, because they have

No mouth to speak about their past

They simply shine up in the sky

And give their light to you and I

[Verse 6]

And where would we be without their light

We'd call out names and then start a fight

But then again, that's what we do

I hate me and I hate you, too

[Chorus 2]

Cause I'm in pain just like the spider

In the drain, I am a fighter

But I can't win, I've got to lose

Give me strength to see me through

[Outro]

And ease the pain that I must feel

As my bones break and I taste the steel

As I go down... The drain...

I'm insane

King Lyrics

[Verse 1: Scott Shriner]

One night at the disco, I wanted to dance slow

I saw a sweet baby, such a fine lady

And I walked up to ask her, but some dude just grabbed her

I told him to back off, cut me some slack off

[Verse 2: Scott Shriner]

I see you come here, drinkin' that cheap beer

Act like you own it, I can't condone it

You show me no respect, you got to get off it

You got to get with it, time for a swift kick

[Chorus: Scott Shriner & Rivers Cuomo]

You see, I own this town, you best not come around

If you wanna get by, then cool it down

If you wanna start somethin', know one thing: I'm king

If you wanna mess around like that, that's just how it is

If you wanna get by, then mind your biz

If you wanna start somethin', know one thing: I'm king

[Verse 3: Scott Shriner]

You wanted attention, and did I mention?

Nobody likes you, except for the losers

You made a whole army, an army of babies

Some of them stupid, some of them crazy

[Verse 4: Scott Shriner]

Pick up your action, act like a grown man

Look at the winners, you could be like them

Life is so easy, pleasant and dreamy

If you get off me, if you get with me

[Chorus: Scott Shriner & Rivers Cuomo]

You see I own this town, you best not come around

If you wanna get by, then cool it down

If you wanna start somethin', know one thing: I'm king

If you wanna mess around like that, that's just how it is

If you wanna get by, then mind your biz

If you wanna start somethin', know one thing: I'm king

[Bridge: Rivers Cuomo, Scott Shriner & Rivers Cuomo]

You can't break me, never take me

That's just how it is

You can't break me, never shake me

Clear out of my biz

[Chorus: Scott Shriner & Rivers Cuomo]

You see I own this town, you best not come around

If you wanna get by, then cool it down

If you wanna start somethin', know one thing: I'm king

If you wanna mess around like that, that's just how it is

If you wanna get by, then mind your biz

If you wanna start somethin', know one thing: I'm king

[Outro: Scott Shriner & Rivers Cuomo]

I'm king, I'm king

I'm king
