Deadbeat 03:54
Deadbeat Gonna lay around all day in this bed eating shit food and getting high as I can When I’m dying in a hospital bed I’ll wonder why I’m such a fucking idiot I’ll blame my mom I’ll blame my dad I’ll blame ex-girlfriends who left instead of sinking with me down below I’m a deadbeat. I drink ALONE. My heads so full of shit I guess I got used to it. Two hands that choose not to be working Each breath I take is a waste of the air I don’t care I’M HYPERVENTILATING There ain’t no brains in this head thinking Somehow someway my dumb dick will get used Sadly deadbeats are reproducing I’m a deadbeat. I sleep ALONE. My heads so full of shit Guess I got used to it

One Billion Dicks Another day without a deity Leaning on drugs to mentally relieve My disappointment in humanity Music save me from lethal drugs unchecked by crooked cops ONE BILLION DUDES WHO NEED THEIR DICKS CUT OFF Racist fanatics from the ultra-right calling for judgement night My heads about to explode America is a joke The land of the sprees How much further can it go? IS THERE A WHISPER OF HOPE? Truth is I don’t want to know how much further can we go. SOMETIMES I HATE THIS PLACE I’m going to fucking explode Depressions taking ahold Live and die glued to a screen and it’s not letting go FUCK EVERYTHING THAT WE KNOW

Spineless Gutless Bitch If I had guts baby I wouldn’t walk this way Dragging my feet an emo punk on the street If I had balls I might use both my fists to fight for you But that fucker just came and took my sunshine away IF I HAD KNOWN WHAT TO SAY I could be sleeping not lying awake It’s crazy how shit never works out stuck being me, a spineless gutless bitch If I was Macho Man Randy Savage damn… One punch to his face and we’d go drink at my place But I’m a pussy a straight up sissy for walking away from that fucked fantasy If I had known what to say I could be like him in the gutter today It’s crazy how things always work out stuck being me, A SPINELESS GUTLESS BITCH If I had known what to say I’d be hooked on drugs with you just trying to escape Some shitty town that held me down from being me If I had stopped being me…

Shithole 02:48
Shit Hole Never gave a fuck when I was sixteen So confident but can’t comprehend I never really appreciated history Nobody taking it in. Nobody learning a thing. If we all are blind it’s just a matter of time. DOOMED TO REPEAT What are we thinking? This is the world we live in Make it a world worth giving We gotta work together To make this shit hole better Isn’t it fucked we keep sharing lies and ignorance without a consequence? I never truly appreciated brain washing Nobody questioning. Nobody checks out a thing. If we all are blind it’s just a matter of time. DOOMED TO REPEAT I still believe in hope. Don’t lose hope in the world around you. Don’t give up on hope or else we’re done.

Proud Of My Drool We’re smoking too much chronic Talk like we’re hooked on phonics Whispering dancing together in the kitchen God forbid we grow the fuck up God forbid we ever wake up… keep dreaming Cheers and remember: We’re not a float in a parade with every detail on display WE CAN DO THIS OUR OWN WAY Between my teeth you’ll find grit My shirt is soaked as shit cause I’m proud of my drool I drive a beat up Ford truck If you know me then you know I say fuck constantly Fuck my vocabulary I still communicate things that words cannot say… you understand? I’m proud of all your shit stains too and every garment soaked in puke. You know we’re all droolers too. It ain’t pretty. It’s the truth.

Life Sucks 03:35
Life Sucks I feel like screaming! At the top of my lungs. No friends required. Party ain’t a party til I black out Call me a liar now I see we never knew shit about love Never knew shit we just HOLD ON LIFE SUCKS NOW We’ll wake up tomorrow HOLD ON LIFE SUCKS NOW It only gets better in time You’ll leave this all far behind. I WON’T BACK DOWN! Shots have been fired Party ain’t a party til we’re kicked out Get off the path of misery. Where would we be without love? Stop searching for perfection. It’s all up here. Close your eyes. Let all your problems disappear.

F.F.L. 03:30
Fat Fuckin Loser BEFORE YOU HIT THE LIGHT WE’LL KISS AND SAY GOODNIGHT We’re planning all our fun and nothing can go wrong The house is clean This great routine It’s not for me I need a fucking holiday. One where I don’t come back There’s nothing left for me to say, just smile and wave Dinner with your folks Fake laughs and stupid jokes Holy crap when did I become a schmoozer? I went from being a rad boozer TO BEING A FAT FUCKING LOSER! Take me back to days of possibilities Before responsibilities Snuck up and sucker punched me Grass is green HEY! Nice blue jeans Kill me please

Alive 03:22
Alive We got a fire that’s burning for awhile The stars all light up the sky We’re taking shots and shouting to feel free and wild. So alive. Do what we want and get away with it I can hear the sirens coming You wouldn’t know the best days of your life Until they’ve come and passed you by We can split, road trip, and talk for miles The towns keep passing by Watching the world spin a sunset scenery I’m feeling so alive When my bones are buried deep in the stones When the sun sets ablaze to this place we call home Then I’ll know that somewhere in the light we’ll be stars burning bright forever alive
