1. EVERYONE ALIVE

I say hey, hello, mom and dad
I think it's great, okay or just plain bad
Are you alive? Is everyone alive?

Oh yea 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 alright, I'm just fine,
I'm alive, I'm alright.
Everyone alive? (Everyone! Everyone!)
Everyone alive? (Everyone! Everyone!)
Everyone, is alive! (Alright!)

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

I'm alright, I'm just fine,
I'm alive, I'm alright.
Everyone alive? (Everyone! Everyone!)
Everyone alive? (Everyone! Everyone!)
Everyone, is alive!

(Alright let's go!)

I'm alright, I'm just fine,
I'm alive, I'm alright.
Everyone alive? (Everyone! Everyone!)
Everyone alive? (Everyone! Everyone!)
Everyone alive? (Everyone! Everyone!)
Everyone, is alive!
Alive!


2. BOUND FOR THE FLOOR

Born to be down
I've learned all my lessons before now
Born to be down
I think you'll get used to it

And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic

And you don't
And you don't
And you don't
And you don't

Born to be down
I think that I've said this before now
Born to be down
What good is confidence?

And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic

And you don't
And you don't
And you don't
And you don't

And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic

And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic

And you don't
And you don't
And you don't
And you don't

And you don't
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you don't
And you learn to accept it, you know it's pathetic
And you don't
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you don't
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic

And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic

And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic

And you don't


3. LOVEY DOVEY

Don't you hate it
When people are in love, they're so
They're so happy
So goddamn happy, happy

Don't you hate it
When people are in love, they're so
They're so happy
So fucking happy, happy

I wanna cut you down
I wanna cut you down
I wanna cut you down
It's not fair
Crystal clear and glassy-eyed in love

Dave and Heather
I see them fighting all the time
I kind of like that
I kind of need that

'Cause I just hate it
When people are in love, they're so
They're so happy
So fucking happy, happy

I wanna cut you down
I wanna cut you down
I wanna cut you down
I wanna cut you down
I wanna cut you down
I wanna cut you down

It's not fair
You're so crystal clear and glassy-eyed
You're crystal clear and glassy-eyed
You're crystal clear and glassy-eyed in love

Don't you hate it
Don't you hate it
Don't you hate it
Don't you hate it


4. HEAVEN ON THE WAY DOWN

Heaven on the way down
Talk about a prime piece of real-estate
Headin' all the way down
Yeah, you know it's falling like an intrest rate

Jesus calls it even
You could have your home back no questions asked
A temporary way out
Yeah, heaven's on the way down

Sweet relief
Pullin' teeth
Soldier spy tipper tailor junkie thief
Holdin' on
It won't be long
Heaven's on the way down

Heaven's on the way down
Thinkin' that it's over

Tarnished dreams of angels
Nothin' like a cherub with a dirty face
Figure all the angles
Brother kill your brother for a parking space

Jesus calls it even
You could have it all back if you want
Cuz heaven's on the way down
Yeah, heaven's on the way down

Burn the flag
Burn it black
Jackie earl haley's comet comin' back
Soldier on
You read me wrong
Heaven's on the way down
Heaven's on the way down

Sweet relief
Fallin' free
I could spy a tailor sick junkie thief
Speed of sound
It's comin' round
Heaven's on the way down

Heaven's on the way down
Thinking that it's over

It's over


5. 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

7. ALL THE KIDS ARE RIGHT

You heard that we were great
But now you think we're lame
Since you saw the show last night
You hoped that we would rock
And knock it up a notch
Rockin' was nowhere in sight

And it's never good when it goes bad
No one likes to feel like they've been had
And it may be okay
But you won't wear our t-shirts now
Not anymore

First the band looked wired
Then the band looked tired
Sluggish and a little slow
He's walking through the set
As drunk as he could get
And what the hell was wrong with Joe?

And you could tell the crowd was fading fast
Every song we played looser than the last
And it may be okay
But you won't wear our t-shirts now

All the kids, they hold a grudge
Their minds are logged on to the net and
All the kids, they hold a grudge
You fail them and they won't forget it
All the kids are tired and turn away
They saw what you did
You're all wrong and all the kids are right

You heard that we were great
But now you know we're lame
Since you saw the show last night
You hoped that we would rock
And wished that we'd just stop
And finally we said goodnight

When we had returned for the encore
You and half the room had headed for the door
No one wanted more

All the kids, they hold a grudge
Their minds are logged on to the net and
All the kids, they hold a grudge
You fail them and they won't forget it
All the kids, they're tired and turn away
All the kids they hold a grudge
Their minds are logged on to the net and
All the kids they hold a grudge
You fail them and they won't forget it
All your cred won't save you from the kids
They saw what you did
You're all wrong and all the kids are right

Next


8. ALL-RIGHT (OH, YEAH)

All-right,
Oh yeah all-right,
Oh yeah all-right,

Here we go,

Act surprised when i come in
It's only me it's only stupid me
You could never figure out
What was all the fuss about
I know its me it's only stupid me
It's only stupid me

All-right,
Oh yeah all-right,
Oh yeah all-right,
Oh yeah

Sickle-cell anemia
Carpal tunnel and bulimia

You think you got the real deal
Damaged goods are such a steal
It serves you right, its only stupid me
Its only stupid me
All-right

All-right,
Oh yeah
All-right,

Oh yeah
All-right,


9. HEY, RITA

Hey, rita
There's a statue with your face
Hey, rita
It's in the park, baring your name

I'd love to take you there
But no one really cares, and who's to blame?

Yeah, i've been patient
But, patience just another game

...And if you never stay
Wouldn't matter anyway
It's ok

Hey, rita
There's a statue with your face

Spread the word around
Your queen is steppin' down
Livin' with your mom and dad again

The house built, have been sold
The cars have all been towed
It hasn't been this been bad since who knows when

Hey, rita
We wanna know where you have been
You don't believe it
You wanna know where we were then

...And if you never stay
Wouldn't matter what they say
It's ok

There's a statue with your face
Hey, rita
There's a statue with your face
With your face

...And if you never stay
Wouldn't matter anyway
'Cause who's to blame
...And if you never stay
Doesn't matter what they say

Hey, rita
There's a statue with your face
With your face

Hey, Rita!

...Stop


10. DEEP CUT

I don't know where i went
My brain is up for rent
I feel like my whole life is spent
I don't know where i went
What do you do when its already everywhere?
What do you do when nobody really cares?
What do you do while its cool to fuck with you?
What do you do?
When you believe what they say about you
And even the things you know are not true
And you can't even ask yourself
I don't know where i'm at
I think i killed my cat
I get these paranoid attacks
I don't know where i'm at
What do you do when opinions are everywhere?
What do you do when its nothing you want to hear?
What do you do when you can't think of what to do?
What do you do?
When you believe what they say about you
And even the things you know are not true
And you can't even ask yourself
Gotta move on
What do you do when you don't know what to do? (gotta move on)
What do you do? (gotta move on)


11. 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


12. HOW'S THE WEATHER DOWN THERE?

Take the things you want
And leave everything you need
But you'd better take heed
You won't get to see me bleed
I can always change
But you'll always be the same
It's such a crying shame
But someone should take the blame

And if you go home with another tough guy
I don't wanna hear you cry
How you can't look him in the eye
If you go home with another tough guy
I don't wanna hear you cry
I won't help you say goodbye

But if you wanna leave
If you wanna leave
If you wanna leave
I can help you out with that
If you wanna leave
If you wanna leave
If you wanna leave
I can help you out with that

I know i'm evil-mean
And i know i'm playing rough
And i know you've had it tough
But i think i've had enough
I was unaware of you ever playing fair
And i really don't care
How's the weather down there?

And if you go home with another tough guy
I don't wanna hear you cry
How you can't look him in the eye
And if you go home with another tough guy
I don't wanna hear you cry
There's no more of you and i

If you wanna leave
If you wanna leave
If you wanna leave
I can help you out with that

And if you go home with another tough guy
Another tough guy who's just a little too high
If you go home with another tough guy
I don't wanna hear you cry
There's no more of you and i

I'm up in the air
How's the weather down there?
I don't wanna play fair
And i really don't care
I'm up in the air
How's the weather down there?
I really don't care
I really don't care

If you wanna leave
If you wanna leave
If you wanna leave
I can help you out with that


13. FRITZ'S CORNER

I'm not mad
I'm just bored
And everything I do is only because
There's nothing much else for me to do
And that includes you (x2)

Messing around with you (x3)

Piss away potential
Everyday is a waste
And I'm wasted everyday
There's nothing much else for me to do
And that includes you (x2)

Messing around with you (x3)

You see me now a little bit clearer
The face I make when I'm looking in the mirror
It gives me away, the things that I say

You think you know where I'm coming from
The words I say when I'm playing dumb
It gives me away (x4)

One more thing before we go
I've stepped over everyone I know
Everyone I know (x2)

You see me now a little bit clearer
The face I make when I'm looking in the mirror
It gives me away, the things that I say, it gives me away

You think you know where I'm coming from
The words I say when I'm playing dumb
It gives me away (x3)
I'm always ashamed

I'm always ashamed,
And that's no way to be (x8)


14. CREATURE COMFORTED

All the Thai food and the Must See TV

And it keeps you down in Surround Sound until you drown
We're all defanged and declawed
Declawed
Declawed

We're all defanged and declawed
Declawed
Declawed


15. NO PROBLEM

I'd Like to think that it's out of here
You'll blow into town maybe twice a year
To Check on me to see if I'm still here
And make me think that it's my idea

And everything in the world is free
I come to you so easily
I never felt a sense of meaning
You that I refuse to see

You had me but its over now (x3)
It's No Problem (x2)

I'm not really sure why I let you win
Or even why I let it begin
I've always been an easy in
I'm easy out the door again

I know it's only because your down
That you ever wanted to come around
Just a little secret in a little town

You had me but its over now (x2)
You'll get my attention again somehow

It's No Problem (x4)

Spinnin' 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now?

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Taste of your lips

You're toxic I'm slippin' under
With a taste of a poison paradise

I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic?
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic?

From my devil's cup
Slowly, it's taking over me

It's in the air and it's all around
Can you feel me now?

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Taste of your lips
