Did you ever wanna be, did you wanna be a wannabe? She thinks I'm out of control Well I can't make it on my own And I'm never looking back, I'm never looking back I'm out of control Did you ever wanna be a little picture in a magazine?
2.
I'm not gonna be ok, Well I'm not gonna be alright We're gonna have to suffer to make it through the night Oh, we're not gonna be ok, and I'm not gonna be alright We're gonna have to suffer to make it through the night Wasted my life on television and weed Can't remember the last time I scratched that need Times will change, you'll start to realize That everything won't be ok
3.
I don't know why you look at me this way I've been dressing like this since back in the day Jorts and flip flops, I hate these fucking socks Wearing a pink shirt while running from the cops I don't know why Simon hates sandals I hate your songs and I hate your look I hate The Beatles, I hate the good book The substance is lost, the gatekeeping boss Van Halen, Van Hagar, they both can fuck off
4.
You get up early to work a job you hate Surrounded by assholes, we do what we can to make it through the day I gotta make some money to buy shit that I don't need And I gotta hurry up now, I'm sure you can relate All the cool guys at work are named Dave You're making coffee, better let it percolate Waiting in traffic, you're playing finger drums You're smoking out your brains Gotta make some profits for some guy that we both hate You gotta hurry up now - this report, it can't be late

Dumptruck 02:38
I found myself in a tough situation I was scraping from the bottom, and I'm scraping at the barrel, yeah We pick and shovel, we're digging right through the rubble Trying to find a reason to stick to one another, yeah Have you ever been this close to the top? I don't think you understand the world that I'm living in We fight a nation, a radio invasion We dig up a confrontation to skip the situation, yeah You're tired of hearing reverse the engineering A struggle interfering, your thoughts are so endearing, yeah
6.
Have you ever stopped to read the room? No I don't cuz I don't care what they think About how I live or what I drink Saturday night when I'm with you The world could keep crawling And I'd keep falling right back into your octopus arms Cuz I'm stuck with you I'm stuck with you
7.
Let Down 01:51
My faith was blind, you sold me a lie But it's a choice that you made And still you believe you're in the right Your lack of foresight will be your biggest mistake Cuz life will not wait I'm tired of putting myself on the line To find out that I'm not worth your time My expectations are buried deep underground But still I'm let down I wouldn't be so callous towards you without the knife in my back That you still won't retract And you know that I wanna have hope that we will both learn to grow But still I don't know
8.
I wanna go where the party is I wanna go right now! I wanna go to LA And sit underneath the Santa Monica pier And we'll drink cold Miller Lite until the sun comes up Oh I wanna go to LA I wanna go to LA

Make It Rad 02:36
When you got a task or shit to do You know I wanna do that shit for you I'll make it rad, I'll make it rad When we're together and it's supper time You can count on me that we'll be fed just fine I'll make it rad, I'll make it rad I'm a punk without a clue A foot with the wrong shoe But as long as I'm with you, I'll make it rad I'll pour your drink, I'll hold your hand I'll write our names into the sand I'll make it rad, I'll make it rad When you wanna cave and you're feeling blue I've got a knack when it comes to helping you I'll make it rad, I'll make it rad I trip on sidewalk cracks I'm a gutter-ball, I'm a hack But I'm never turning back, I'll make it rad Rad, cause you hold me up so high Rad, cause you got me with those eyes Rad Rad, cause I know you're always there Rad, cause you always cut my hair It's rad She was wrapped in caution tape But she thinks I'm fucking great You know it never is to late To make it rad I'm a ladder without a rung I've always missed when I've swung But when everything is said and done, I'll make it rad

Enemy 03:34
You can't tell me what to think I watch the news every evening You can't tell me what to say I've got pills that do that Enemy, I've been my own worst enemy You can't tell me what to write I've got an education built on fucking lies You can't tell me what to say I've got pills that do that
11.
I don't care what you wanna do I don't care where you wanna go I don't care what you wanna be I don't care what you wanna do Impossible Me and the boys are gonna stay up late Me and the boys are doing psychedelic drugs I don't care what you wanna write I don't care what you wanna sing I don't care if you wanna dance I don't care what you wanna do Impossible Me and the boys are gonna stay up late Me and the boys are doing psychedelic drugs I don't care what you wanna say I don't care what you wanna do I don't care where you wanna go I don't care what you wanna be
