1. HELLO, EVERYONE

I say hey, hello, Mom and Dad
Are things great, okay, or just plain bad?
Are you alive?
Is everyone alive?
Oh yeah, well me? I guess I'm doin' fine
I don't know why you think I would be lyin'
I'm alive
Like everyone's alive
Is anyone alive?

I'm all right
I'm just fine
I'm alive
I'm all right
Everyone alive (everyone everyone)
Everyone alive (everyone everyone)
Everyone alive (everyone everyone)
Everyone...IS Alive
Alive

Oh, honey, hey, hello - how was your day?
Work is work - don't know any other way
But I'm alive
Like everyone's alive
It's just a day to day that I seek
I gotta find a way to the end of the week
Make it alive
Like everyone alive
Like everyone alive

I'm all right
I'm just fine
I'm alive
I'm all right
Everyone alive (everyone everyone)
Everyone alive (everyone everyone)
Everyone alive (everyone everyone)
Everyone...IS ALIVE...

All right, let's go

I'm all right
I'm just fine
I'm alive
I'm all right
Everyone alive (everyone everyone)
Everyone alive (everyone everyone)
Everyone alive (everyone everyone)
Everyone...IS Alive
Alive

Uh, thank you?


2. SON OF "CHA!"

If you want it, then it's great
If you don't, you'll have to wait
Doctor, help me medicate
Doctor, give it to me straight

If you got the stink of luck
Find a moviestar to fuck
Come on like a semi truck
I said "all night"

Thinking what you coulda been
Thinking what you shoulda been
Left without a decent friend
Not now, not then

Sell my life in stock and trade
Making like you got it made
If you want another
You know me, I got nowhere to be

Bailing through my barricade
Living and in love with me
If you want another
You know me, I got nowhere to be
Don't wanna break down

Yeah (x3)

Passin' up your salad days
Creepin' up on middle-age
Chasin' down the latest craze
Oh yeah, all-right

If you want it, then it's great
If you don't, you'll have to wait
Doctor, help me medicate
Doctor, give it to me straight

Living and in love with me
Bailing through my barricade
If you want another
You know me, I got nowhere to be
Sell my life in stock and trade
Making like you got it made

If you want another
You know me, I got nowhere to be
Don't wanna break down
Sell my life in stock and trade
Making like you got it made
So if you want another
You know me, I got nowhere to be

Sell my life in stock and trade
Making like you got it made
If you want another
You know me, I got nowhere to be

Sailing down my barricade
Living and in love with me
If you want another
You know me, I got nowhere to be
Don't wanna break down

Yeah (x4)


3. PRESIDENT FOREVER

I'm president forever
I'm head of state and here to stay
The officer-elect all of your life
I'm the leader till the end of your days

I'm president forever
Accountable to no one no more
Daddy look at me, I'm a big boy now
A brat to the manor born

Who wants to go back to war with Iraq
Who wants to shoot a slingshot full of rocks of crack
Who wants to go and give the French their fuckin' statue back
I want to take it all

I'm president forever
America, you found your man
If we can all agree on this one thing
You know you'll never have to vote again

I'm president forever
I finally get to do it my way
I wanna take a ride in Airforce One now

Laugh in the face of the national debt
I wanna build the free world and make them pay back rent
I wanna take the statue back from the fuckin' French
Dad, I'll make you proud

I'm president forever

Piss up and down the walls of the Oval Office
Pal around with the boys in the secret service
Calling my connection for a party at Camp David
The first lady's not invited
The first lady's not invited

I'm president forever
I'm president forever

Who wants to go back to war with Iraq
Who wants to shoot a sling shot full of rocks of crack
Who wants to go and give the French their fuckin' statue back
I want to take it all

Laugh in the face of the national debt
(Take it all, take it all, take it all, take it all)
I wanna build the free world and make them pay back rent
(Take it all, take it all, take it all, take it all)
I wanna take the statue back from the fuckin' French
(Take it all, take it all, take it all, take it all)
Dad, I'll make you proud (take it all)

I'm president forever
I'm president forever
I'm president forever
President forever


4. PAYBACK IS A MOTHER

If you'll take a reprimand,
We can break the chain of command
So if you got it coming, dont you bother runnin'
Cuz there is nowhere to go....
I know that you know that I know
It's a little bit too late
Nothings gonna clean the slate
Dont yah bother bummin', the bastards had it comin...

Dont yah think they'll ever learn? And its none of my concern
Close your eyes so tightly, the shit that happens nightly
Here we go again.....

Payback is a mother, I dont think you'll recover

It's a little bit too late
Nothings gonna clean the slate
Dont yah bother bummin', the bastards had it comin...
I know that you know that I know
Payback is a mother, justice is a brother, and here they come around again......

Dont yah bother bummin', the bastards had it comin...
I know that you know that I know
And I know your numbers up, your string is cut, youve been caught in a lie again
Your out of luck, your ass is fucked, your freakin' stuck in the dark again

I know that you know that I know
I know that you know that I know

Whoooaaa ooaahhh -- whoooaaa ooaahhh -- whoooaaa ooaahhh
Here it comes around again
Whoooaaa ooaahhh
Here it comes around again
Whoooaaa ooaahhh
Here it comes around again
Whoooaaa ooaahhh

It's a little bit too late
Nothings gonna clean the slate
Dont yah bother bummin', the bastards had it comin...

Payback is a mother, justice is a brother, and here they come around again
Dont yah bother bummin' the bastards had it comin...
I know that you know that i know

Payback is a mother, justice is a brother, and here they come around again
Dont yah bother bummin' the bastards had it comin.
I know that you know that I know
I know that you know that I know
I Know That You Know That I Know


5. KEEP YR GIRLFRIEND

Keep your girlfriend away from me
Just advice I'm givin you for free
Wanna have everything I see
So keep your girlfriend
Keep your girlfriend
Keep your girlfriend away from me

Got no sense of comradery
I've got a couple hits of ecstacy
So keep your girlfriend away from me
I will

Here we go, yeah I know how to get it
I will
Got no code and I won't impose the limits
I will
Get so low and I wanna wallow in it
I will

So keep your girlfriend
Keep your girlfriend
Keep your girlfriend away from me
Keep your girlfriend away from me

Don't talk to me about honesty
Don't talk to me about loyalty
Don't talk to me about a goddamn thing

Just keep your girlfriend away from me
I will
Here we go, yeah I know how to get it
I will
Got no code and I won't impose the limits
I will
Get so low and I wanna wallow in it
I will
So keep your girlfriend
Keep your girlfriend
I will

Now you know, I've exposed my intention
I will
Got no soul, and I love my infection
I will
Wanna know how it feels when she gives in
I will (x4)

Keep your girlfriend away from me
Keep your girlfriend away from me
Yeah, we're comin' to the time when we reach the bitter end
Everything is ripped and broken
Everything is cracked and bent
You won't ever know my mind
You won't ever comprehend

This is nothing to do with your girlfriend
I will (x16)
Keep your girlfriend away from me (x3)
Keep your girlfriend (x5)
I will (x4)
Keep your girlfriend away from me

7. ROCK 'N' ROLL PROS

One Two (x2)
One, two, three, four

When the rock & roll professionals
Roll into town you know they're well paid

You got it

They'll meet you and they'll greet you and then after the show someone will get laid

You got it

Press the flesh and maybe they will make nice

You got it

Press the flesh, but only for the right price

Rock & roll professionals
Rockin' for dollars, baby
Rock & roll professionals
Rockin' for real estate
Rock & roll professionals
Rockin' for lawyers, baby
Rock & roll professionals

Am I doin' great?
Yeah! (You got it) (x3)

The rebellion that they're sellin' would do better sellin' on MTV

You got it

Gone from flippin' burgers to just rockin' and rollin' for the Burger King
Check the charts and see how you are doin'

You got it

Check the charts and see who you are foolin'

Rock & roll professionals
Rockin' for dollars, baby
Rock & roll professionals
Rockin' for real estate
Rock & roll professionals
Rockin' for lawyers, baby
Rock & roll professionals

Am I doin' great?
Yeah! (You got it) (x3)
Yeah, you know (You got it)

And who the fuck you foolin'?
No song is too sacred and that's what makes em so professional

You got it

It's all about the Benjamins so come on, let's hear it for the rock & roll

You got it

For the rock & roll (x4)

One, two, three, four (For the rock & roll)

You got it

For the rock & roll (You got it)
For the rock & roll (You got it)
For the rock & roll (Yeah, yeah)
For the rock & roll (x4)
You got it


8. HANDS ON THE BIBLE

Hands on the Bible
Scared like a child
God holds you liable
For what you've done

Homicidal
Stared down your idols
A pretty baby
Never born

You cant believe it
You didnt mean it
But they saw you do it
And they know your name

Rats in the attic
Toys in the cellar
She's an addict
He wants to learn

Hands on the bible
Egomaniacal
As you screw yourself into oblivion
Worn and faded
Stoned and jaded
You'll have to face it
On your own
Smashed on the pavement
Stunned in amazement
Everything you make comes crawling back to you

You can't believe it
You didn't mean it
But they saw you do it
And they know your name

So hands on the bible
Scared like a child
God holds you liable
For what you've done

Homicidal
Stared down your idols
A pretty baby never to be born

You can't pretend that you dont know the reasons
For the REPENT at your side
Hands on the bible
Hands on the bible
Hands on the bible
Hands on the bible


9. COOLER HEADS

Thinking off your skin
Motor off your mouth
Turning on your friends
Turn your mother out
You were so in with the out crowds
And the cooler heads

Hey, well look who's back in town
We won't tell you that you failed
The cooler heads reveal

You can fall in with the fall out
Go ahead and blend
There ain't much to love about
You can blend in with the crowds of crown
And the cooler heads

You were so in
You were so out
You don't know when
You were sold out
You were so in with the out crowd
And the cooler heads

Thinking off your skin
Motor off your mouth
Turning on your friends
Turn your mother out
You were so in with the out crowd
And the cooler heads

You were so in
You were so out
You don't know when
You were sold out
You were so in with the out crowd
And the cooler heads

You were so in with the out crowd
And the cooler heads
You were so in with the out crowd
And the cooler heads

With the cooler heads
With the cooler heads
With the cooler heads
With the cooler heads

The heads, the dirty fucking heads, now

11. WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE ME DO?

Can you just go home defeated?
Take your pride and eat it
Crawl back beaten
Sources are depleated
Can you take the final hit and admit that you were wrong?

Dont even call it even
Bleedin' is beliving
Former well-being
We're closing for the season
Can you take the final hit and admit that you don't belong?

Beaten 6 ways to Sunday
Beaten 6 ways to Sunday now
You're gonna have to leave it
You know you'll never need it
Wait til you see what we've planned for you

And its heinous
So come on, come on comeupins
You really are the star of the show right now
It's an estrangement
Kinda strange when cliche's are true

Beaten 6 ways to Sunday
Beaten 6 ways to Sunday now
And I am sorry to enjoy this
But, what would you have me do?
What would you have me do?

Can you just go home hated
Half intoxicated
Hopelessly outdated
And not appreciated
Can you take the final blow and know that you fucked up?

Go state the overstated
Keep it complicated
The over educated
That hope you'll never make it
Can you take the final blow and know they won't be shutting up?

Beaten 6 ways to Sunday
Beaten 6 ways to Sunday now
You're gonna have to leave it
You know you'll never need it
Wait til you see what we've planned for you

And its heinous
So come on, come on comeupins
You really are the star of the show right now
It's an estrangement
Kinda strange when cliche's are true

Beaten 6 ways to Sunday
Beaten 6 ways to Sunday now
And I am sorry to enjoy this
But, what would you have me do?

Baby's outta town but I see the light on
What are you up to now?
Headin' for the gun, I can see rock bottom
No one will help you now

Beaten 6 ways to Sunday
Beaten 6 ways to Sunday now
Gonna have to leave it
You know you'll never need it
Everything has been cut and dried for you

And its heinous
So come on, come on comeupins
You really are the star of the show right now
It's an estrangement
Kinda strange when cliche's are true

Yeah
Beaten 6 ways to sunday
Beaten 6 ways to sunday now
And I am sorry to enjoy this
But what would you have me do?

Hold tight
It's New years Eve
It will be cold tonight
Kill the heat
And shut out all the lights
And cut the phone line too
Alright

We don't need nothing but cyanide
Pulled out teeth won't be identified
What would you have me do?
You got it
Hold tight

It's New years Eve
It will be cold tonight
Kill the heat
And shut out all the lights
And cut the phone line too
You got it
Alright

We don't need nothing but cyanide
Pulled out teeth won't be identified
What would you have me do?
You got it
Hold tight

It's New years Eve (You got it)
It will be cold tonight
Kill the heat (You got it)
And shut out all the lights
And cut the phone line too (You got it)

You got it
Alright

We don't need nothing (You got it) but cyanide
Pulled out teeth (You got it) won't be identified
(You got it)
What would you have me do?
You got it

You got it
Gimme money, gimme blow
Keep your girlfriend
Yeah, I'm falling fast, I'm not gonna last

13. HALF-LIFE

Three, four!

Half-life,welcome the worst
Born to your station and your station's a curse
Daddy says "wait and see"
Ain't seen the sun since 1973

Half-life,fake your claim
Falling asleep and waking up is the same
Half alive and half dead too
Work is for suckers and the sucker is you

[Chorus]
You know the lies they tell are told unti they're truel
You know they hardly ever (Yeah, I'm falling fast)
You know they hardly ever (I'm not gonna last)
Ya want it,they got it
It's your circumstance
You Know the hardly ever give a lepar a chance
Half-life [x3]
Or no life at all

Half-life and all fucked up
You're born with nothing better make it enough
Pat in the back kick in the teeth
Alcohol will be your only relief

[Chorus](x3)

You know they hardly ever give a leper a chance


14. NO FUN

Yeah

Depression is obsession
And there's not a lot of lessons to be learned now
We're chosen by the dozen
With the pots are barley buzzing and we're burned out

And it's no fun
Yeah, it's no fun
Well, it's no fun

I think I'm going crazy
But it's maybe not the crazy that you're used to

It's no fucking fun
It's no fucking fun
It's no fucking fun
It's no fucking fun, yeah

The singer's in a ringer
'Cause the songs that he's been a singing ring of bullshit
The drummer's been a bummer
It's been one hell of a summer and who needs it?

Well, it's no fun
Yeah, it's no fun
Well, it's no fun

I think I'm going crazy
But it's maybe not the crazy that you're used to

It's no fucking fun
It's no fucking fun
It's no fucking fun
It's no fucking fun

Well, it's no fun
Yeah, it's no fun
Well, it's no

It's no fucking fun (x32)


15. (BABY WANTS TO) EDIT ME

I'm Framed in love again
Peekin at the end
Baby wants to tame me
So afraid to live her life alone
She'd make a happy home
But only if she tames me

Hey
I'm driving her away
Black and white to gray
Back and forth i'll sway
I'm driving her away
Hey
Nothing good can stay
Black and white to gray
Back and forth I sway

I guess i'll never be what she sees in me
Baby wants to tame me

Blame
She knows somethings wrong
She's seen it all along
But she don't wanna blame me
So afraid to live her life alone
She'd make a happy home
Baby wants to tame me

Hey
Driving her away
Black and white to gray
Back and forth i'll sway
I'm driving her away
Hey
Nothing good can stay
Black and white to gray
Back and forth I sway
I'm driving her away away away

Hey
Nothing good can stay
Black and white to gray
Back and forth I sway
Yea
I guess i'll never be what you'll see in me
Baby wants to tame me


16. LAZY CRAZY

You're taught to hold it down and keep it down
Don't have alot to say about it
You're taught to please sit down and keep your head stuck in the ground
Don't have alot to say about it
Just let them win this one you hear them say everyday
Feels like we're living to just lay down
Just let them win this one, gets easier everyday
I feel it slip away it's lazy but its crazy, alright
Lazy Crazy (2X)
I like to hold it down and keep it down
But I don't want to talk about it
I seem them ride to town and mow you down and cut you down
It's the ones who shout the loudest
Just let them win this one you hear them say everyday
looks like i'm going all the way down
Just let them win this one, gets easier everyday
I feel it slip away it lazy but its crazy, alright
Lazy Crazy (4X)
I'm going to do it better
Change up completely
I'm going to do it better
I'm going to do it right
I'm going to do it better
Change up completely
Well I've got my hand out
And I could tell you stories all night
Just let them win this one you hear them say everyday
Feels like we're living to just lay down
Just let them win this one you hear them say everyday
I feel it slip away it's lazy but its crazy, alright
Lazy Crazy (5X)


17. HALCION DAZE

Those halcyon days are here
They went away but, they're back again
This will never end
I'm numbed out on bliss that
Comes on like a friend
And it's great

A fantastic waste of time
Life is long but, it all moves so fast
You're first then you're last
Afraid of the future, but i'm bored with the past
And it's great

Yeah, it's great
It's so great
Remember when you wanted it all to end?

My last will and testament
Was full of things that i didn't really mean
I wanna come clean, but these words are easier
To write than to read
Or to say
My mood swings are severe
Those halcyon days are here anyway
I'm held in your sway
The drug of your love
Has me slippin' away
And it's great

Yeah, it's great
It's so great
Remember when you wanted it all to end?
