Lyrics

1. MANIFEST DENSITY PT. 1

You're on to something good
But I can't believe it's all
That matters to you
A fool

Who never seems happy
When things are great
It's too late

Before you can think
The thought has entered your mind
And it will be back soon


2. HIGH-FIVING MF

You high fiving motherfucker
You high fiving motherfucker
You high fiving motherfucker
You high fiving motherfucker

You're just a walking billboard for all the latest brands
You've got no taste in music and you really love our band
Your haircut is atrocious, been the same since '83
Your glory days are over and so's your stonewashed jeans

You crass fat-ass
You stupid steroid fuck
I bet you even named your
Grand prize Monster Truck
You want me - you can't pay
You want me - you can't pay
You want me - you want me

You high fiving motherfucker
You high fiving motherfucker
You high fiving motherfucker
You high fiving motherfucker

You're just a walking billboard for all the latest brands
You've got no taste in music and you really love our band
Your haircut is atrocious, been the same since '83
Your glory days are over and so's your stonewashed jeans

You crass fat-ass
You stupid steroid fuck
Hi-jack the pit you shit
Male bonding as moose rut

You want me - you can't pay (x6)
You want me - you want me
You crass fat-ass (x12)
You high-fiving motherfucker (x3)
You high-fiving
You high-fiving motherfucker (x3)
You high fiving
You (x9)


3. 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


4. 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
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


5. I SAW WHAT YOU DID AND I KNOW WHO YOU ARE

Maybe the life I've left
Is coming back for me

Maybe to beat you - cheat you
Maybe it's twisted - ham fisted
Imparting the words to impeach you
It's all right
Maybe - Wanna play?
This one is turning sour
By the hour


6. 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)


7. NOTHING SPECIAL

A one-trick pony in a one-horse town
You're feeling lonely and the cable's down
You feel like the only freak in this town
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with me?
We've got a life of scratching tickets
At the local gas and stop
So suck on another whippit and hear the brain cells pop
I know I'm nothing special
I know I'm nothing great
I know I'm nothing different
But I just don't feel the same
What's wrong with me?
Can you feel the radiation
Dragging your sister down?
You won't feel the alienation
And you'll never leave this town
I know I'm nothing special
I know I'm nothing great
I know I'm nothing different
But I just don't feel the same
What's wrong with me?
I could be happy with less, I guess
If they tell me that less is more
Set a place for me at the table
I won't be hungry anymore
I know I'm nothing special
I know I'm nothing great
I know I'm nothing different
But I just don't feel the same
What's wrong with me?


8. EDDIE VEDDER

Quarters on the eyes
Rejected Sacrifice
Cauterized at best
Failing your litmus test
I know it's dumb to say
But turnabout's fair play
Always knew that you
Were suffering a fool

You go ahead - as good as dead

Okay - I understand
But I don't want to be your friend
I don't need another friend
I've got too many friends
If I was Eddie Vedder
Would you like me any better?
That's it - I quit - I don't give a shit

You go ahead - as good as dead
Coming to a head
You're as good as dead


9. BACK IN THE DAY

Well, punk is dead
And, yeah, you're next
But it seems no one has told you yet
So hardcore
You must be sore
You come on like a major threat
Face...I know you like it hard 'n' straight
Face...Think I'll hang around and wait
Hey, old school...yeah, you were cool
But that was back in the day
Yeah, that was back in the day
Well, take a bow
Harder than thou
You scream "Guilty" like a Judge on high
Well, beat them back
The new jacks
More than music it's a way of life


10. FREEZE-DRIED (F)LIES

Abusive excuses are all I have to hold
Use and re-use to explain why I'm so cold
One for headaches
One for stress
But the one for fear's the one I like best
Abusive excuses they save me everytime
The slow slide down
You never can see it
The slow slide down
You always believe it
Destructive impulses and cowardice and lies
Buzzing back to life like freeze dried flies
Flies for love and flies for sex
But the flies for fear are flies I like best
Impulsive destruction is where my talent lies
The slow slide down
You're trying to change me
It's all my fault
But you never blame me
It's in everything we do
One for love and one for sex
But the one for fear's the one I like best
This act is a bore but it makes me who I am
The slow slide down
You never can see it
My act is a bore
You always believe it
It's in everything we do


11. 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)


12. O.K.

Drawing a collective breath
I could cry myself to death
And wash this all away
In a flash you were gone
Leaving me a couple of songs
That I listen to everyday

And I don't even care
That you were so unfair
I worshipped one time at your feet
Save up our tears
Catalogue all our fears
Give into the stretching years

Your words hit me just last night
When I saw it with the after sight
What was on your mind
Too late to ever change
Things go a little bit strange
You were too far behind

And the reasons I have to live
Are the reasons that you would give
To throw it all away
Save and freeze up our tears
Catalogue all our fears
Give into the stretching years
But that's OK

And I can't understand
Why you folded with a winning hand
And decided to throw the bet
I just can't believe you'd leave
With an ace sticking up your sleeve
You could have paid off your debts

And I don't even care
That you were so unfair
I worshipped one time at your feet
Never heard what was said
All nerve ends are dead
Tinitus ringing in my head

Save and freeze up our tears
Catalogue all our fears
Give into the stretching years
Drown in my tears
Succumb to my fears
Give into the stretching years
But that's O.K.
I'm not O.K.
But that's O.K.


13. MANIFEST DENSITY PT.2

You're on to something good
But it can't be all that matters
