Flying 03:13
Flying Well I've always dreamed of flying So I put on my angel wings and got higher But I flew close to the sun And my wings they turned to stone Now I'm back on the ground again Then I tried to build an airplane Figured that would get me some place But my tank ran out of fuel And the plane began to fall Now I'm back on the ground again And I guess this is how it’s gonna be Always a victim of gravity Turns out my flying machines Aren’t what I thought they’d be Now I’m back on the ground again Then I tried to be an astronaught So I put on my space helmet and took off But I flew to close to a black hole And my space ship lost control Now I'm back on the ground again And I guess this is how it’s gonna be Always a victim of gravity Turns out my flying machines Aren’t what I thought they’d be Now I’m back on the ground again But If I don't try to touch the sky I'll be ground for the rest of my life So I'll get real high and I will learn to fly Fuck it you know this is my time So then I Built a ladder And it took a lot longer But when I started towards the top Man I didn't fucking stop I won't be back on the ground again

The Queen 03:12
The Queen I said no no no no This is not what I expected But the queen laughed ha ha ha ha ha And we all knew that she had meant it We killed her with our bombs We killed her with our lungs She offered salvation But we didn't care We killed her family We burned down all the trees Spreading our disease While we fled the scene And so the story goes For one to live another must die And now the whole world knows But no one wants to try I said no no no no This is not what I expected But the queen laughed ha ha ha ha ha And we all knew that she had meant it And then the queen struck back And we all had a laugh Cause she was all too green And we didn't care And so the story goes For one to live another must die And now the whole world knows But no one wants to try And I said No no no no no This is not what I expected And the queen laughed ha ha ha ha ha ha And we all knew that she had meant it Now the trees are gone And I guess we were all wrong But we're to far to stop So I guess this is so long And I said No no no no no This is not what I expected And the queen laughed ha ha ha ha ha And we all knew that she had meant it

Angel 02:41
Angel Well I think I'm going to hell Cause I just sold my soul for you angel But I don't mind burning forever Cause right now I'm looking at heaven Well I'm not much of a believer But if theirs a god well then I'd like to meet her To ask her why she's locked her gates Cause why else would you be in this place Hey angel won't you cleanse my soul watch me atone as my life unfolds Bless me with the memory of you Well I think I'm in over my head Cause I don't know what to do or what could be said So I'll stare from across the room While you bless this earth and I merely roam Hey angel won't you cleanse my soul Watch me atone as my life unfolds Bless me with the memory of you Hey angel won't you come one down Trade in your wings for a piece of hell You can be the light that guides me home

I Fell in Love With a Junkie She's got a needle in her arm And an arrow through my heart She knows all about punk rock I knew I loved her from the start She's a poster child for The classless and the poor And I'm addicted to her The way she leaves me wanting more Cause I fell in love with a junkie And she fell in love with me We will never be apart She made an addict out of me Cause I fell in love with a junkie And she fell in love with me I will never give her up She made an addict out of me She wears black tight skinny jeans With rips in both of the knees Catches the eye of strangers She's my rebel beauty queen Her additude spells danger Dad don't want me to date her It only makes me want her more And my mom fucking hates her Cause I fell in love with a junkie And she fell in love with me We will never be apart She made an addict out of me Cause I fell in love with a junkie And she fell in love with me I will never give her up She made an addict out of me

1984 03:20
1984 When you’re born they take away your eyes So when you grow up you'll be blind And you'll only see what they want you to Their double speak version of the truth And when you’re young they take away your mind So they can sculpt you just how they like And you'll only know what they want you to Their double speak version of the truth 1984 Knocking at our door Mr. Orwell where'd you go And when you’re 18 they take away your feelings Cause when your retarded you won't need them And you'll only do what they want you to Their double speak version version of the truth And when you’re all grown up they take away your dreams Make you a cog in their machine And you'll only be what they want you to Their double speak version of the truth 1984 knocking at our door Mr. Orwell where'd you go We've seen this before It always runs its course Mr. Orwell where'd you go When you’re old they take away your memories So you can't learn from the past century And you'll only recall what they want you to Their double speak version of the truth And when you’re dead they take away your bones So when you’re gone no one will know And your epitaph will forget too Even dead men don't speak the truth

The Human Race I turned on the tv today And I saw the human race It was an unfortunate scene that I could not erase I turned on the radio to drown out the noise But it was just as bad to listen to our voice If this is what it means To exercise our beliefs Then maybe we should uncover our eyes I turned down the boulevard to see what we'd become Fascist spoiled brats playing the victims I read through the holy scriptures to see where we went wrong But they only confirmed we have yet to find our gods If this is what it means To exercise our beliefs Then maybe we should uncover our eyes If this is what it means To sail blindly across the sea Then maybe we should listen to the tide

Work of Art 01:57
Work Of Art I am a work of art Shallow on the outside With a deeper meaning Hidden somewhere even I can't find And I am your biggest dreams Laughing in your face Cause you couldn't make it But neither could I guess I'm just a fake But who am I to judge when all I've ever done is not enough And who am I to speak when all I've ever seen Is the dirt under my feet I am a masterpiece Sculpted from the gods But they made a mistake Because under the marble I am a fraud So who am I to judge when all I've ever done Is not enough And who am I to speak when all I've ever seen Is the dirt under my feet They say a man is not what he has done But what one day he will become And I'm becoming something that I am not I've been faking it my whole life now I've been caught Or maybe I'm just a tiny speck Watching stars collide With no deeper meaning And just as shallow on the outside
8.
Losing My Mind Well I've been searching all night Looking for some kind of meaning But where do you look When you’re stuck in your head And you can't even find your own feelings Well Ive been stumbling all day Over my own convictions But how do you think in such a straight line When your up to your knees in prescriptions But I don't mind Losing my mind Cause it never was so easy to find And I don't care That I don't care Cause I never was so alright Well I've been dreaming for weeks And I'm not quite sure what is real Is it the shadow of death or the junkie on meth And which one gives me my pills Well I I've been screaming for years But no ever seems to answer me They turn their heads or they all play dead As if I had some kind of disease But I don't mind Losing my mind Cause it never was so easy to find And I don't care That I don't care Cause I never was so alright And though I'm downing in my own head I don't mind getting wet Cause one day I'll learn to swim And though I'm breathing in the fumes What do I have left to lose I never had much anyways So I don't mind Losing my mind Cause it never was so easy to find And I don't care That I don't care Cause I never was so alright

Come Burn With Me Heaven sounds like a terrible place with priests and southerners and Jesus freaks All eternity stuck with Rush Limbaugh Kirk Cameron and Sean Hannity oh no And I'd rather burn in hell than have to listen to any more of their spiel Yeah heaven is no place for me and at least in hell I hear that health care's free oh yeah Jesus Christ couldn't change my mind Cause even he hates heaven sometimes He's gotta be sick of right wing politics Spent 2000 years with assholes and hypocrites Hell sounds like a beautiful place With dykes and scientists and all the gays All eternity stuck with free thinkers prostitutes and atheists oh yeah And I'd rather burn in hell with them than listen to one more god damn sermon Yeah hell is just the place for me so lock me up and please throw away the key Jesus Christ couldn't change my mind Cause even he hates heaven sometimes He's gotta be sick of right wing politics Spent 2000 years with assholes and hypocrites

Floating 04:15
Floating Your feet are off the ground And your head is somewhere else now And then you close your eyes And you know this is what it's like Then you rush out of there Down to the street corner And you get back on your feet again You’re so sick of feeling sober But you gotta come down sometime It's only heaven for a little while Sometimes it's lonely living this kind of life But it's worth it for a good time Now you’re back in your comfort zone The only place that you really know And you look into the mirror But it's all a blur Then you rush out of there Down to the street corner And you get back on your feet You’re so sick of feeling sober But you gotta come down sometime It's only heaven for a little while Sometimes it’s lonely living this kind of life But it's worth it for a good time And what could ever go so wrong To ever give this up When everything I love is gone This is all I got It makes me weak but it keeps me strong enough to carry on I don't care what people say cause I will never stop So you lay back again With your only friend And then you close your eyes And you know this is what's it like
