Babysit 02:47
She wakes up at six in the morning I wake up at six in the afternoon She likes doing shit that is boring I like eating junk food and watching cartoons She wants me to grow up and be responsible All I want to do is have fun and be cool And she said I'm not gonna babysit you anymore and she said I'm sick of your teenage ways, your video games, and always being poor here's your things and there's the door I can't do this shit anymore She's never happy with her own life So she has to make mine a living hell I have all the things money can't buy I'm better off being all by myself She wants me to change everything I am All I want to do is hang out with my friends And she said I'm not gonna babysit you anymore and she said I'm sick of your teenage ways, your video games, and always being poor here's your things and there's the door I can't do this shit Whine and bitch and moan and see what that gets you A lifetime of alone in a house of cats When you're nothing more than a bar hopping whore In a town where people only know you best for that I know I can do better than you bitch you are so ugly to me And everyone can see right through all of your lies and your stories I am the best thing that you have ever known So leave me the fuck alone

All my friends have cars and houses They have jobs and families of there own I bum rides and crash on couches I fly by and go it alone By the skin of my teeth by the seat of my pants Hanging by a thread living on the edge of danger Going against the stream sticking to the man Nothing to give you but my middle finger And I'm old enough to know much better but I'm young enough to have some fun My life has never been more better and my work is never done People I know have responsibilities, outstanding debts, and a daily routine All I have's this song I'm singing, a suitcase, and a head full of dreams And if it is true that you are who the group of friends that you choose to hang out with then I am safe and I guess that makes You the biggest peice of fucking horse shit And I'm old enough to know much better but I'm young enough to have some fun My life has never been more better and my work is never done And I know security is key but it doesn't unlock anything and I'll go on this record to say that I'm happy just being me And I'm old enough to know much better but I'm young enough to have some fun My life has never been more better and my work is never done

Naked Time 03:19
How many dates is it gonna take For me to slide into home plate How many kisses on the cheek How many times do we have to eat How many movies do we gotta see To get a sneak peek And I've been waiting To see you naked All I really wanna do is spend some naked time with you Girl, I think about you all the time I think about you all the time How many doors do I have to hold Give up my jacket whenever it's cold Say I'm wrong when I am right How many friends do I have to meet Exes asses do I gotta beat So I can get it in Tonight I've been waiting To see you naked All I really wanna do is spend some naked time with you Girl, I think about you all the time I think about you all the time I'm sure that you're a real smart girl but I'de rather hear your body talk I'm sure that you're a real sweet girl but I wanna feel your body And I've been waiting To see you naked All I really wanna do is spend some naked time with you Girl, I think about you all the time I think about you all the time

Maybe I'm not anything but I'm lucky to have seen punk rock shows in the early nineties Back when Fat Wreck Chords was king when Tony was alive and Warped Tour was a show I'd pay to see My ass dropped out of school and I went out on tour to see the world knew I'd never be that guy working nine to five held back by some girl Fuck no And I hate how everything has changed and everyone is following the loser They jumped off and you did the same Just to make yourself feel that much cooler Selling out every name you claim Just makes you out to be a fucking liar Never change always find your own way Let's go back to the way it was before five bucks at the door take away the stage huddled round a dirty floor Kill all the fancy lights no tolerance for fights Lose the adittude let's have some fun tonight I walk into a club everyone thinks there someone like it's high school No one ever says hi they just walk right on by I'm through being cool assholes And I hate how everything has changed and everyone is following the loser They jumped off and you did the same Just to make yourself feel that much cooler Selling out every name you claim Just makes you out to be a fucking liar Never change always find your own way

Remember when we all were friends and music wasn't a competition You got so big and forgotten who I am and who you were then Remember when Is it all worth the money and fame and the drugs and the shame and the girls and the names that you drop so hard on me you only call me when you're lonely Is it all worth the money and fame and the drugs and the shame and the girls and the names that you drop so hard on me It's time to leave the party's over now Remember when we all opened for our favorite bands now you're one of them For some other kid in some other town You build them up but you bring me down When You're around Is it all worth the money and fame and the drugs and the shame and the girls and the names that you drop so hard on me you only call me when you're lonely Is it all worth the money and fame and the drugs and the shame and the girls and the names that you drop so hard on me It's time to leave the party's over now And always think of those days cause you have no place here anymore So move to Los Angeles go move to New York Get lost in the city cause we don't want you here no more There's no room left in this town for egos as big as yours so get out now

EXGF Club 02:31
My ex girlfriend started a club they act like they all like the same stuff The only thing they have in common is me I'm glad I could bring you all together think that you deserve each other All I wanted was to get haircuts for free And they sit around and talk about All the shit that they will never do While I am out doing the things I couldn't do when I was dating you Get a life My ex girlfriend started a club addicted to prescription drugs To numb the shitty reality of their pathetic lives I'm glad we never had a baby Settled down or got married cause I think all of you look just like mice Mice that sit around and talk about All the shit that they will never do While I am out doing the things I couldn't do when I was dating you Get a life Get a life They just sit around and talk about All the shit that they will never do While I am out doing the things I couldn't do when I was dating you Get a life Get a life

Just the Tip 02:21
Playing my guitar for tips Tips like hey why cant you play what I request Cause I only know three chords and I don't listen to the radio Been kicked out every band that I have been in so I'm solo Maybe I should get a real job but I'm finally making money doing something that I love Making friends with my music I get nervous when we make eye contact Now I'm that guy at the party who sees a guitar and plays it and everyone is annoyed but no one has the heart to say it Maybe I should just give it up but when I talk my words come out in song and I can't make it stop Rock n roll is all I know It's forever will never die Rock n roll is here to stay can't take it away cause it's alive Rock n roll is all I know It's forever will never die Rock n roll is here to stay can't take it away cause it's alive And if this isn't making it then I don't really know what is I'm having fun without all the bullshit Living how I'm dreaming and this one is for all the kids still playing in their garages the ones without the rich parents that don't have to be famous to be happy

I was at a friend's apartment We were drinking and playing poker till one the boys started talking shit on me I asked him if he had a problem and he bolted for the door cause someone handed a kitchen knife to me Three sheets to the wind I almost killed my friend I'm back in the wagon again and I swear on my life if I make it through tonight I'll never drink another drink again I was out drinking alone I tried to mario kart it home A fight broke out and the cops got called on me and as I walked out the house that pig drew his taser gun out and I dropped to my knees and felt electricity Holy fucking hell they're taking me to jail In nothing but my underwear and I swear on my life if I make it through tonight I'll never drink or ever go back there If your family invites you to a strange hotel room then You might be walking into an intervention You better take that flight and leave tonight check yourself in Or spend your rest of your life drowning and wasting

Aggrocrag 04:01
You're only right in your own mind You're to blind to see You can scream all you want but no one's listening You have your pride and you took her side Abandoned everything When you come back I won't be here waiting It's hard to stand there and watch them take you away Thought you were one of us but then your ideas changed I blamed myself for years but it couldn't be saved While I tried to keep integrity you took whatever got you paid I cannot fight for someone I do not believe in Your association is like a disease History shows that you have been nothing but poison to everything you're mixed in and I took a drink shame on me You're only right in your own mind You're to blind to see You can scream all you want but no one's listening You have your pride and you took her side Abandoned everything When you come back I won't be here waiting I'm grateful for the sacrifices you have made Didn't know they came at such a high price In my heart I know I wouldn't change anything I would do it all again those were the best times of my life You're only right in your own mind You're to blind to see You can scream all you want but no one's listening You have your pride and you took her side Abandoned everything When you come back I won't be here waiting So let the threats be made I am not afraid I've waited for the day to say this to your face The silence has to break let nothing go to waste It's time to take my place So let the threats be made I am not afraid I've waited for the day to say this to your face The silence has to break let nothing go to waste It's time to take my place You're only right in your own mind You're to blind to see You can scream all you want but no one's listening You have your pride and you took her side Abandoned everything When you come back I won't be here waiting

She told me to go see a shrink to get my head in check and he told she was my problem be best if I left and I saw her the other day remembered how so easy she was to forget and she taught me what I didn't want and my judgement was off and her friends talked me into her and they couldn't have been more wrong and I saw her in her mother a future of being crazy and all alone And I hope it hurts you to hear the truth and I know that this will follow you wherever you go and I'm free to walk away but you have to face who you really are everyday And I hope it hurts you to hear the truth and I know that this will follow you wherever you go and I'm free to walk away but you have to face who you really are everyday I hope you get what's coming to you Eat shit and live then die alone You won't get away with this Curse you and your love You'll pay with your life For what you've done
