1. Never Had So Much Fun

I smoked a pack of cigarettes before midday
I coughed up a lung around one
I can't see a thing through my eyes that sting
I can't remember having so much fun

I've never had so much fun

Can't drink the water in Sydney
Can't eat the food in Japan
Can't breath the air in Los Angeles
but a million people think they can

These wankers filled up with hatred
Why expect any less
They can't decide about genocide
I think it's time that they took a rest

I try to compensate blindly for mistakes
Try to make things right
For all my redemption I've the best intentions
But it's always ending up in a fight



2. You Are Not My Friend

Never felt bad lending a hand
I think you hoped I wouldn't be in a band
Broken ashtray I can always replace
I kick the door then I spit in your face

You are not my friend
Never ever again

Dream of sunsets with a drink in the sand
Of all my friends and losing money in the van
Remember holidays that weren't such a waste
And a broken jaw from a punch in the face

Picture perfect with a frame that pretends
To be a martyr for a cause with no end
I was thinking that you needed a break
What I meant was every bone in your face
A mental photo of discoloured eyes
Of dirty carpets and moistened thighs
These recollections I will keep to the end
I'm sure it's wrong that you were never my friend



3. It’s Up To You

Never touch a man with the power to exploit
Never touched a wanker with the power to reform
chance to act now, i feel proud
with my ### and drive yourself around
go to much trouble for making up laws
it's not as fun as fighting for your choice

don't trust em all
these are the rules
much you can do for someone else

It's up to you to fight
You've got to be strong when you're right

Do it for the power of obvious lies
when the real power brokers are in disguise
you teachers, priests, family and friends
when your own education is a means to within
they start to leave the artificial side of the state
you think so now but it's started too late

Fuck all the heroes
Fuck all the deros
Throw a spanner in the works

It's time that we ### that private sign
something about the reason but there is no lie
I never under estimated the power of one
I never feel safe when done is done

You're so empty
Stand and fight
One thing you can check



4. I Know Everything About Everything

I know that we all have differences
I'm not bothered 'cause I've seen them all
I'm the best guy that you're ever going to meet
I won't listen to your point of view

I know everything

I know every paradox in politics
I've been every place around the world
On every subject I'm a known authority
No need to argue 'cause it won't get through

I know everything

I know it won't be long
Till all my closest friends have come and gone
Freedom, I don't know what it means
The right to hate is part of me it seems

I know everything from history
I don't need to watch the news
I find it easy with my vast intelligence
No one tells me anything new

I often wonder why no one talks to me
They must be threatened by my charm and grace
I know everything about everything
I'm especially witty when I'm of my face

I know it won't be long
Till all my closest friends have come and gone
Freedom, I don't know what it means
The right to hate is part of me it seems

I know everything



5. I Miss My Lung

another sunday morning
another boring day
another lonely sunrise
takes my breath away

i miss my lung
i thought you'd never leave me
god how i was wrong

a part of me is missing
it seems it's been so long

i miss my lung
after all the songs are sung
i miss my lung

i tried to forget you
and live with my regrets
i tried not to miss you
i recall your lovely breath

i miss my lung
as vital as the sun
i miss my lung

worse than a broken heart
worse than a poison tongue
worse than an evil eye
is you my missing lung

i took you for granted
it's ended up in tears
i miss you more than showers
it's been about a year

i loved you like no other
how can i live on?
i hope that you can hear me
it's for you i wrote this song



6. We’re Going Out Tonight

Twenty past four and we're feeling kind of bored 'cause there's nothing to record and we're poor
There's nothing on TV, how can that be? Not even bullshit I don't want to see

Spent all day in bed, throbbing in my head, my legs are made of lead
feeling dead, there must be something to do to loose this mood
I looked in the kitchen, there's not any food

Something must be done, I'm craving some fun

Put on my favourite band, yeah we need to make a plan
Well I really hope we can 'cause the situation can't be much worse today, nothing's OK
If I worked I probably wouldn't get paid
We start to fight
Then we decided that
We're going out tonight

Walk to the shop, CDs I can hock and that suck 'cause they never
give you much but I don't give a damn we're sticking to the plan we need to
buy some beer now the hour is getting near to the time that we know we've
really got to go, we're sitting in the park and it's getting pretty dark

We have a sup
now things are looking up
We're going out tonight

Now the time has come, we're going to have some fun
Now it's understood the night is looking good
Let's go out and find someone to shout we'll get to the pub and there's
going to be no doubt that
There'll be some trouble there, broken glasses and stupid hair
We'll be without a care all night
We're going out tonight



7. Let’s Drink A Beer

1,2,3 the phone's for me yeah
I don't want to get it but my mind disagrees
Running out of patience but I can't break away
And now it's taking so long to find a resolution
The pain I'm going through there must be a solution
I can't be the one to give her total absolution
I'll send her nothing good

Does it make you feel good to make me miserable
Or is a power struggle completely unfeasible
Every time we speak you're convinced I'm unreasonable
I'll get through it I've found another way

Let's drink a beer, let's drink it here, it's the one thing that is clear

Everything I say seems to get me in trouble
I only feel better when I'm seeing double
Now there's someone else I think that we can resolve it tonight
It's going to be alright

Let's drink a beer, let's drink it here, 'cause tonight is all that's here
Let's drink a beer, let's drink it here, it's the one thing that is clear
Let's drink a beer, let's drink it here, to you I send my only friend

Let's drink a beer, let's drink it here, to anaesthetise my fear
Let's drink a beer, let's drink it here, destroy your fear

Gone so long the days for thinking, hear that final call for drinking
I know there's been a lot of problems, not too many ways to solve them
Seems hopeless what can be done yet, I feel the need for icy comfort

Let's drink a beer



8. I Know Why Dinosaurs Became Extinct…

I know why dinosaurs became extinct
it's because they learned how to
suck their own cocks
("Frenzal Rhomb are not a very good band"
"aww fuck" )



9. I Don’t Need Your Loving

Well I needed to define what it was that made you mine
Was it pity or disgust I used to know but now I just don't trust
Since the accident, what it was you meant
I convinced myself it was heaven sent
that the ambulance was sent
And I wish I had disguise, please let ignorance provide a shield for covering
my pride might restore my faith in good yeah a wish I understood but I
don't care I just need another 'lude and intravenous food

I don't need your loving all I need is a spinal operation

In my weakened state I might, independence I won't fight
Cause I don't need your sorry eyes or was that just terrible disguise
or was it loose, thinly veiled hate I understand why you didn't want to
wait, when it's time to operate

Now I'm running out of time now I know that hate is blind
It's all legal, not a crime I give consent to your detriment
Press the buzzer and you'll know it's time ask the nurse she'll say
everything's fine
Take a scalpel to my spine



10. Self Destructor

I've been living without a face so I can't face the day
Civil war behind my eyes I'm the only one to blame
Take a step back and run and hide
I'm looking for an enemy or a friend from deep inside

My self destruction increases my cred
I need to be real and I need to be fed

As broken as an unloved skateboard at the lost and found
As tired as a rabid dog waiting at the pound
I like to live and I've got reasons to destroy
Try to stand the test of time, my mind is not a toy

My self destruction so easily led
No need to now I'm wrecked inside my head

Wake up to this self abuse this trait is not a crime
I've seen the way to live with poison everything turns fine
Listen up to the soft words to myself
Time to ignore these little voices and pretend I'm someone else

Monitor my intake and I'll document this time
Give me something to believe in give me cheap-arsed wine
Self destructor gripping onto what life there's left to live
What's the point in giving up when there's nothing left to give



11. I’m The Problem With Society

don't talk to me of your ideas
and the things i cannot do
don't tell me off for what i want,
no, that's for me to choose

you yell at me with numbers and a life you'd like for me
but i say just take two steps back and you can wait and see

'cause this is our time now
we've got to stand up and shout out
"i'm the problem with society,
i'm the problem with the world today
i'm the problem, solution, got to make them pay"

i've listened to your doctrines and there's no sense in the least
i could have been mistaken are you father fuckin' priest
and once again I'm treated like an enemy of state
but as get upon that pedestal remember who dictates

and so now i'm forced to recognise your thinking is a cage
i've had all that i can stand of "come on son just act your age"
if your idea of growing up means living with this shit
you can take your phoney pompous crap and shove it where it fits.



12. Do You Wanna Fight Me?

I woke up half an hour ago
I don't remember much and I'm feeling slow
I don't know how but I know I lost all my friends
Every time I see you now you're picking a fight
I know I must have said nothing right
Do you think that this is going to make a change

Do you want to fight me? Hand to hand
Do you want to fight me? Now's your chance

Can you tell me why I'm so objectionable
Is it personality or just my smell
When you look like fighting I look sick
Is it a disorder a doctor can fix
or are you just a violent mother fucking son of a bitch
When you put me to the floor you know I'll get back up again

Do you want to fight me? Now's the time
Do you want to fight me? Stand in line

It's obvious it's too late to make it right
Talking sense to you is going to take all night
I'm going to get a beating unless I make a plan
I know you want a piece, sorry I'm so slow
One more bevy I'll be ready to go
And run faster than I've ever run before



13. Methadone

What the hell are you doing later on
I've got some beer and I don’t have a gun
I wanna find out I wanna try out
The possibilities of having some fun

And I’m seeing now that
I’ve never seen this place before
And I’m realising

I’m alone
Got no home
Need a loan
But I’m not on metha-

There’s a time for and there’s a place for
Ultra-violence and it’s not on my side
I tried to dissect but where's the respect
There's still respect in an inanimate life

And it’s looking like
It’s time to escape again
There could be something wrong but

I’m alone
Got no home
Need a loan
But I’m not on methadone
Need a phone
With a tone
But I’m not on methadone
I just don't
Have to go
Because I’m not ###
###
Why don’t you stay awhile

And I’m realizing I’ve never tried
To see anything the same

Of all the good things
Of all the ugly things
There’s a point where you don’t have to hide
It’s time to understand
That even Superman
He had his problems
But he knew how to fly



14. Writing’s On The Wall

I have seen the wasted youth that have no fear of dying
seen the other prophecies that we should start denying
look at my, look at my plan ahead ### coming to a head
there'll be black thunder, there'll be lightening
I've seen a million faces, I've seen a million days
take a look down and realise there's not much left to say

this might change your mind

I've seen the writing on the wall, and I know it all too well
I've heard enough, the road is looking rough
I know this all too well

superstition, do you believe the lucky number seven
you might aswell convince yourself that we're all going to heaven
can't beleive in a sacred god that gives me wine from water
he'll never ###? what's around the corner

I look back and wonder just why no one saw it coming
I'm looking forward to the time we're fighting and we're running
we can live another thousand years, oh I can tell
so your apocalyptic thoughts will lead you straight to hell



15. Summer’s Here

Tim and Candy getting sandy
down at the beach but he's a leach
He's all bleached blonde white teeth, nothing wrong
she's got a brain
it's causing her pain

John's with Kim but she likes Tim
she only wants sex but she's with his ex
She wants more, thinks life is a bore the shore's not enough
the guys are too tough

Summer's here the rain has gone away
Summer's here all thinking's gone 'til May

Tim and John swear nothing's going on
It's a god given right on a Saturday night
Two drinks later John becomes a traitor
it's always the same everybody's fair game

Summer's here put the top down and drive
Summer's here now we're being burnt alive

Bleached bland, polluted sand, there's nowhere to go, dull eyes so low
Tim, John, Candy, Kim, let's not pretend, that's it for them
If you dig a little deeper, an hour, 4-litres, the truth does reveal
we cannot conceal
It's written plain and plenty, a face full of envy in all of our
thoughts and all of our hearts

Summer, discontent
Summer's here put the top down and drive
Summer's here now we're being burnt alive
Summer's here and we're almost naked
Our tan is deep but no-one knows we've faked it
