1. NIGHTMARE

Hello... (x3)

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, I'm a nightmare
And you're my dream come true
No matter where I go
All roads lead just to you
Yeah I'm a nightmare

Oh yeah, I'm a nightmare.
But you know that I love you
And that you can count on me to be true
I know you know that I know...
I'm a pain in the ass sometimes
But I promise, I'm working on that, too

I'd never write a stupid, poppy love song
For anybody but you
I might just call you Boo
And if you should die before me, promise me that you'll haunt me
Leave the cupboard doors open
Every morning so I know you're there
And that you care

[Chorus]

Oh yeah, I'm a nightmare.
But you know that I love you
And that you can count on me to be true
I get wound up and angry
At the way the world works sometimes
But I can't imagine being angry with you

I'm trying not to be a fucking psycho
But it's hard sometimes,
When you've got a head like mine
If things go wrong between us meet me in a parallel universe
I swear I'll do my best to make it work here first

[Chorus] (x2)


2. ANTI LOVE SONG

Well, I'm done writing love songs to anyone
Dear Everyone, you won't get no more from me
I thought I'd spend my whole life writing agonizing love songs
But it's quick to fix and I'm done telling lies

Well if you got a song from me
I'm taking it back, don't you see?
You never seemed to earn it anyway
Those songs I wrote
When I was choked up
Over you now make me throw up
In my mouth 'cause of this fantasy

So, bleh! Bleh! Bleh! Bleh! Bleh! Yeah!

Well, I'm done writing love songs, those love songs
'Bout the ones we want, but won't ever get
I'm done pining over
Those stupid four leaf clover
Picking petals off of flowers
For a wish

Well, my feelings always fool me true
Thinkin' I can't live without you
Like we had some destination road
There was never anything between us
Just wanna give it meaning
When we were more close to meaninglessness

So bleh! Bleh! Bleh! Bleh! Bleh!

You never meant shit to me.


3. HERE'S TO YOU

(One, two, one, two, three, go)

Well, we shared times
You know, we tried, we lied
But it's better that way
And you know I don't mind

In you I got
Someone I know and trust
Through the thickest of shit
I cherish every flaw we've got

So, don't stop me
From bar fight stomping
When I know I got you by my side

[Chorus]
So, here's to you, my good friend
Let's have a drink and let's celebrate
The times that we had
With every one that went first
Here's to you, my good friend
Let's have a toast
As a symbol of the bond that we share
Yeah, you and me first

No, we may not
See things eye to eye
But I respect you for that
And let it open my mind

Though not by blood
I am your sister
And our closeness will stay
Regardless of time and space

Though our paths
These days are rarely crossing
You know I've got you on my mind

[Chorus]

Even if I'm not there most of the time, well, don't you fear:
What we made were the best days of our lives
I'm everything I am because of you, so thanks, my dear
Please always know that
We had those moments
That definied our history
And I'll be taking it with me

So, don't stop me
From bar fight stomping
When I know I got you by my side

So, here's to you, my good friend
Let's have a drink and let's celebrate
The times that we share
With every one that went first
Here's to you, my good friend
Let's have a toast as a symbol of
The bond that I share with you


4. CHEERS

Early afternoon
Or maybe lunch time?
All I know is daylight
Is creeping through
The covered windows
Behind me, neons signs
Fluorescent flicker:
This bud's for you

By light of day it's hard not to notice
Just how filthy this place can be
The smell of bleach and cheap shots
Drowning out my ugly company

So, line 'em up, my lonely friends
Raise your glass and knock 'em down
A little salt to sap the sting
From the last words that we spoke

[Chorus]
So, cheers! Here's to hoping
I never see your face again
This one's to chase
The awful taste of your name
From my tongue

And one more in hopes that I'll hit the floor
And knock the thought of you from my brain
And last, to hopelessly wishing
I never met you

By light of day it's hard not to notice
Just how filthy this place can be
The smell of bleach and cheap shots
Drowning out my ugly company

So, line 'em up, my lonely friends
Raise your glass and knock 'em down
A little salt to sap the sting
From the last words that we spoke

[Chorus]

And one more in hopes that I'll hit the floor
And knock the thought of you from my brain
And last, to hopelessly wishing
I never met you

Early
In the morning
When I wake up
You're not there
How many nights have I been sleeping alone?
Not fair!

So, cheers, here's to hoping
(I opened up, would'a took your name)
I never see your face again
(And where were you? You fucking walked away!)
So, cheers, here's to hoping
(You opened up and gave me your heart)
I never see your face again
(At the finish line thinking you heard a start)
So, cheers, here's to hoping
(We opened up, it's always the same)
I never see your face again
(When we get too close, we run the other way!)

And last, to hopelessly wishing
I never met you.


5. JOEY LAWRENCE

Everybody needs a little heart ache
Just to pass the time
Or to feel alive
I know

Everybody needs to fall on hard times
To appreciate
The real from the fake
In life

I don't understand it
That's the way that it goes down
Oh yeah

[Chorus]
Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh (x2)

Everybody's got a little secret
We keep inside our hearts
For reflecting on
Down the road

Sometimes we lose ourselves with no shame
Fucking doing things
We thought we'd never do again
Or before

I don't understand it
That's the way that shit goes down
Oh yeah

[Chorus] (x2)

Internal struggles
External battles
They always keep me down

Maybe to keep me vital
I need to feel the struggle
Every day
In some way!

[Chorus] (x2)

Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh (Everybody needs a little heart ache)
Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh (Just to pass the time, or to feel alive)
Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh (That's the way that shit goes down)
Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh


6. SUGARCANE

She went back to the guy that beat her
Who publicly called her his whore
If he came within five feet of me
There'd be a price on his head for sure

I'd use a fucking hammer on his face
Yes, I would do that for her
I would bite, kick, stab, and brawl
Then he would be out her life forever

I feel bad for you, Sugarcane
You really think you deserve to be treated this way
Yeah, fuck what your mother taught you
You're worth more
Than you can dream to think

So, get up, get out, get on
Pick a new life - one that you'd want
Get up, get out, get on
Be good to yourself - nothing's impossible

Without a roof over your head
You're stressed
That you don't got a choice
And it's landed you back in the hands
Of that violently oppresive man

Well, get up, get out, get on
Pick a new life - one you'd be proud of
Get up, get out, get on
In this world, nothing's impossible

'Cause he'll never change
And "sorry"s don't mean a thing
To someone that considers you a nothing

The truth, it fucking stings
But so do bad beatings
I learned to stitch by sewing up your injuries
When will you learn you should be treated like a queen

So, get up, get out, get on
Pick a new life - one that you want
So, get up, get out, get on
Be true to yourself - nothing's impossible

Get up, get out, get on
Pick a new life - one that you want
Get up, get out, get on
It's your world - nothing's impossible (impossible)
Impossible (impossible)


7. I'M ALRIGHT

I've been taking myself way too literally
I'm tapping out
Need to make some time to listen just for me
Nobody else
I'm not sure any more just which of these voices are mine
Inside my head
But I'm fighting for my life in my dreams when I sleep every night
But I'm pretty sure I'm all right

If I've said "fuck it"
Is this a mental health crisis?
If I'm angry all the time
Is that fine?
If I'm going crazy
Is it your problem or mine?
Well, I'm pretty sure
I'm all right

I know inside I'm not all right
The smirk on my face is proof that I'm a liar
How do you tell yourself, your friends, or anyone
"I'm filled with emptiness and all my hope is gone"?

I'm not all right (I'm pretty sure that I'm all right)
I'm not all right (I tell myself that I'm all right)
I'm not all right (I'm pretty sure that I'm all right)
I'm not all right (I tell myself that I'm all right)
I'm all right.


8. OLD DOGS

I'm not waiting for you
Standing on my own two feet
And we're eye to eye, finally
I won't take indiscretions
Not the way it used to be
'Cause I'm living up to both our
Dreams you thought you'd only reach alone
Well, here I am, watch me go

[Chorus]
I'm so done
I took it on the chin
When you stopped missing me, not listening
It's an idiom, you'll be back again
You can't teach old dogs new trick

Not what you expected?
Don't you know, that's my specialty
And I've got more tricks up my sleeve
I'm swinging for the fences
I'm gonna be all I can be
Though you don't see me on your team
These runs are fractures in your mold
So here I am, watch me go

[Chorus2]
You're so done
You're headed for dead end
If you don't listen up, start giving in
You'd be an idiot to turn your back again
You can't teach old dogs new tricks

This time I'm doing it just for me
Like it or not, you'll have to make room
Tides are turning, put in that fucking leaf
And we'll pull up a seat

[Chorus]

[Chorus2]


9. LIKE, SERIOUSLY?

We're gonna be taken seriously
We're gonna be taken curiously
Go fuck youself, but can't fuck with me
We're gonna be taken seriously

Oh yeah (x5)

It's all I got: My word is bond
I scream it loud, and you know I bring it hard-
Core as fuck, but I'm still sweet
Like candy and coke, but not like some "novel-tease"
Don't judge my book by what you see

We're gonna be taken seriously
We're gonna be here continously
Go fuck youself, but can't fuck with me
We're already part of punk history

Oh yeah (x7)

Full sized ego and an appetite
Done my time and I'm more than qualified
Maybe we can drop the "Y"
Change it to "boss"
I won't stop 'til I'm on top
Keep your piece, I want the pie

Go, clasp your hands
Get on your knees (get on your knees)
You're gonna worship
Our three part harmonies

No, we're not selling sex
But we will make your eardrums wet
It's the best you're gonna get
With no reprieve

We're gonna be taken seriously
We're gonna be taken curiously
We're gonna go down notoriously
We're gonna be taken seriously


10. RIP YOU TO SHREDS

I may be kind
But I'm not a sucker
I've got no time
For stupid motherfuckers
The kind that play their schoolyard games and manipulate each other

You made it pretty clear
You got no respect for me
And what's weird
Is you still think I owe you something
I don't think you thought this through
All the damage that I could do

'Cause I'm bigger, and better, and smarter, and stronger than you

[Chorus]
I could rip you to shreds
If you want me to
Wish you were dead
By the time I'm through
Oh, honey, I don't think you want me to

I think it's time
You take resposibility
For this mess
Thought you could put it all on me?
Why should I bite my tongue when you wanna make things nasty?

Thought we were done
We'd buried the hatched
You wanna dig it up?
Well, you can fucking have it
That busy little mouth is back
Writing checks that your ass can't cash

'Cause we both know that I'd mop the floor with your ass, that's a fact

[Chorus]

Honey, I don't think you want me,
Honey, I don't think you want me to.


11. THE WOOD

Watching soft porn with Cindy
In our basement living room
And taking snappers from Granddaddy
Just doin' what we do

In a town called Inglewood
Well, most folks would be afraid
But to us, it's no big deal
Just a typical kind of day

In the hood
("Wanna play craps?")

Well, there's gangsters, but they're friendly
Because of my puppy
I learned on my side of Crenshaw
It's "wear blue"-territory

And shopping was a rip-off
When I lived on the west side (west side!)
Over here it's way cheaper ("29 cents?!")
And I'm blaming it on the blight

In the hood
In the hood - I'm not looking for an award
The only white girl on my block and I'm not bored
Eh, no, I'm not a hipster, it's all I can afford
In the hood

The ice cream trucks competing
With their songs throughout the day
And on weekends there are three
And no tune they play is the same ("They got Bomb Pops!")

Every home's got barred up windows
And pets they don't adore ("It's disgusting")
I rescued a sightless kitting
Every other fuck ignored

In the hood
In the hood - You never wanna point or stare ("What the fuck are you looking at?!")
In the hood - Just find your set and you'll fit in
Unless you're some kind of poser with no street credit

In the hood (x3)
Is where I live.

(Inglewood!) (x9)


12. FIREWATER

Well, there's no saying it nice, so I'm destined to fail
Well, I'd rather be hurting myself than damage anybody else
But I'm seeing all the signs and they point the other way
A direction far away from here and it's leading me to think...

That the times that we spent were restless
Uncomfortable, 'cause we were never more than friends

[Chorus]
Would you fall apart to pieces? (Fall apart to pieces)
Could you shatter more than I?
Or would it be a sweet relief if I left
Throwing water on the fire
When there never was a flame

All I do is try, but it's never been enough
Unless I give up everything, you're gonna make this one tough

But I'm done saying words that are worthless
Just to pacify some easy state of mind

[Chorus] (x2)

Throwing water on the fire
(When there never was a flame)
Throwing water on the fire


13. SUPPORT

Listen up, world, we got a message for you:
This is our time to speak up, speak out!
Loud and clear the more we cheer
Ain't got no time to delay
There's far too much at stake

[Chorus]
You're with us or against us, it's yes or no
Your silence is defense of the status quo
If you support me, then come and join me

Whoa oh oh oh - we're on our own

You're in control, you have the wheel
Don't ever look back, go ahead and take on the lead (take on the lead)
Driving fast with no regrets
This is your chance, believe me
This is your opportunity!

[Chorus]

(Until then...)
Whoa oh oh oh

Hold on tight, baby, this is the ride of your life
A life born free
Hold on tight, baby, this is the ride of your life
A life born free

[Chorus]

(Until then...)
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh

If you support me, then come and join me (Until then...)
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh
