Les paroles


1.SELF ESTEEM

I wrote her off for the tenth time today
And practiced all the things I would say
But she came over I lost my nerve

I took her back and made her dessert
Oh I know I'm being used

That's okay man cause I like the abuse
Oh I know she's playing with me
That's okay cause I've got no self esteem

We make plans to go out at night
I wait till 2 then I turn out the light
This rejection's got me so low
If she keeps it up I just might tell her so

When she's saying, oh, that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends

When she's saying, oh, that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess I should stick up for myself

But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care
Right? Yeah-eh-eh

Now I'll relate this little bit
That happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door

She's drunk again and looking to score
Oh I know I should say no but

It's kind of hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem

When she's saying, oh, that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends

When she's saying, oh, that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way

The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care
Right? Yeah-eh-eh

2.BURN IT UP

I think I'm burning up inside
I think I'll take a little ride

I'm gonna light up everything in sight
I'll drive on by your yard

And throw a Molotov cocktail at your car
Then another one in the local bar

Ignition
They call it an obsession
I think it's kinda bitchin

I think it's kinda neat
Yeah, I'm a pyro
I wanna burn it up
Yeah, I'm a pyro

Tonight this 'hood will be a pyre
I'm gonna set your house on fire

I'll dance around the pretty flames
Such a wonderful game!

I want to make a tiki torch
I'm gonna throw it on your porch

Then I'm gonna run away
And come back another day

So many houses, so little time
So many reasons, I'm not a crime

I'd like to set you up
I'd like to set you up

3.JENNIFER LOST THE WAR

Jennifer lost the war today
They'll find her burned and raped
Through it all she must have wondered

What have I done
But nobody really cares today
The world's a busy place
Guess she must have really sinned

I guess we're all just soldiers
She was only six years old

Left to die by strangers
Her family waits

And if we're all just soldiers
Is it so wrong to be afraid
Jennifer lost the war

Phoebe lost the war today
There must be some mistake
Say it happens all the time

And it's said and done
Little Miss 15 65
Your soul remains unclaimed
Guess you must have really sinned

Morality won't help her
When she lies silent in a morgue
And all our sorrows left her

But will the morning headlines
Even say that it's a shame
What are we heading for
Jennifer lost the war

Seen it all before
Silent on the ground as he's walking away
And I wonder how many more

Everybody take it like it's nothing at all
Jennifer lost, lost, lost, lost the war

Now I guess we're all just soldiers
She was only six years old

Left to die by strangers
Her family waits

And will the morning headlines
Even say that it's a shame
What are we heading for
