1. Liquor Store
Now listen up and hear what i'm saying If he's not talking to himself Then he must be praying Shine my shoes and ask for a dime Then pick my pockets while i'm in line He keeps telling me the score Down at the liquor store
2. My Very Own Flag
Something that's inside of me It's something that I cannot see Like rules and regulations Passed down for generations I wish I had my very own flag, And as I walk away I can hear you say I wish that I had my own flag
3. Johnny Quest Thinks We're Sellouts
Well I Really don't know If it matters at all so, But we try to keep our prices low For records and our shows But is that enough, Or is it that we're not punk enough, Or it that you think ska just sucks, But Johnny Quest, he thinks we're what? Johnny Quest thinks we're sellouts
4. Big
Wonder what hold things together Is it political positions or maybe superstitions The list goes on forever It seems to go on forever Are old rituals necessary to stand by How many things just to get us through the night And can we say their wrong altogether The world keeps going on forever It still looks big Can everything in some way help us understand From mathematical problems to rubber bands And can we say it's wrong altogether The world goes on forever It still looks big
5. Shotgun
There was a kid so low, he couldn't stand up No money, no respect and too much bad luck Desperation had gotten to him at last It was dark Dark alley and a shot gun blast And I knew a man everyone thought Was out of his mind He had a cane and seemed to be around all the time And it's a shame, when a car rolls past It was dark Dark alley and a shot gun blast Shotgun - no one ever thinks about it Until your out of your head
6. Black Coffee
If only my problems were like water they could be boiled away and watching the steam drift upward, watching my problems drift away. And watch the steam turn and twist, watch it all drift away. Look how it rises and lifts watch my problems drift away. If only my problems were like water they all could be washed away and watch the water go downward watch it all go down the drain.7. Throw the Brick
Two days before his mom moved him To a trailer park in Florida from a suburb in Michigan He left the house headed for someplace downtown Thinking who needs them, cuz they brought me down Out on the streets words burning in his brain With his pulse pumping just like a freight train, Wondering what he has to lose What's to lose anyhow If he throws this rock will it all be solved now Throw the brick one more time Thinking of the problems that I left behind Throw the brick8. Growing up on a Couch
How many things that you believe Are straight out of TV and magazines And when comfort comes before truth Can you say that you never knew, Sitting in front of your TV, Do you believe the lies Given to us from another time And can you say that everything is fine when your ideology is only right half the time I'm growing up on the couch9. Blindsided
Isn't it funny that it all comes down to money Running on a treadmill, wasting time Keeps you too busy to lose your mind I was blindsided out on the street The tension was so thick I could hardly even breathe And I don't like the way things are going down I don't like the way things are going down, That's all, it's all It's enough to knock me down Man I was blindsided when a guy walked right past Calls for help from this guy under the overpass So I guess it's the "problem will go away if I block it out" It's all enough to knock me down10. Down beat
Downbeat, downbeats coming for you Everythings gone that you once knew. Trying to rely on what things used to be And trying to live up to your responsibility. Everythings f*%$ed up that you see. Downbeats coming for you And it's coming for me. Trying to rely Downbeats coming and you can't hide Standing on the front porch While downbeats collide, And downbeats coming up up It's got a grin And I'm left in this situation.11. Jen Doesn't Like Me Anymore
Jen thinks it isn't fair that I don't really care If she likes me or not And Jen doesn't like to settle Until she makes me feel like Howie Reynolds She thinks that I'm all that I've got No Jen doesn't like me anymore Jen doesn't like to go to the shows, She doesn't like my whoa - whoa's. Jen doesn't like me anymore.12. Out of the Crowd
I won't compete because I don't need to be In front of someone that wants to compete with me Who needs another aggravation Or a f*%$ed up situation So you call me burnt out Call me washed up Or weaker cause I won't get up Be first in another line Just one more time, Cause I won't compete again I can't hear a sound that's out of the crowd.13. Robo
So she's been around Lived in every town And she always seems to know So she does a zine Says she's in the scene And she goes to the cool punk rock shows And it's not like I've seen the world And it's not cuz she's a girl It's just cuz no ones always right And I'm almost never right so she can't be Yeah he's been around Likes to hear the sound Of his voice annoying me His shirt off at shows Brand new punk rock clothes Do you think that I have a choice to see That I sometimes think he's wrong And been talking way too long In fact it's cuz no ones always right And I'm almost never right So you can't be.14. Where in the H*## is Mike Sinkovich?
I've never known what made you get up and go And what pushed you over the edge, When we were up on the roof Was it the truth when you said You never made a single difference. Did you get it in your head That things are better left unsaid when you up and left town now? Did you need to rearrange Or did you need to make a change Rather than just rotting the place We used to hang around? I know that things have gotta change, I know your never coming back to this town. I wonder where you've gone, Who you're with; I still ask myself, Where the h*%$ is Mike Sinkovich?15. Process
I've always watched the change I've watched without a sound and often wondered why I don't speak a word out loud but the world won't stop for me and I can't stop the world myself but I often wondered why the rest of them can't see for themselves the change I've found that keeps me bound without a sound there's a process in the world and no one can stop the change there's a process all around us and things never stay the same16. Three Quarts Drunk
There's an old man at the very end Of the parking lot leaning on his car and Drinking beer and laughing out loud Before my head starts spinning around, As I try to find a place to take a stand But only wind up sitting any place I can With DIDJIT's song stuck in my head I kinda think I might of said Now I'm three quarts drunk and I'm out of time.17. Boomtown
So here let's talk about the boomtown facts You've got stick up kids coming right at my back Two blocks of reasonable rent and it's only getting smaller And the rest of boomtown is only getting taller You've got ten miles of traffic and three hundred miles of roadway And a million lights burning bright night and day With all these lights going off like roman candles It's getting too much for me to handle Boomtown's only based on image torn down and built up from one man's Vision When all the workers are all up and gone It feels like I'm sitting on a ticking time bomb.18. Short on Ideas
Have you been feeling down, pushed around Feeling like everything has been done before Do I need to understand every word from every man Or everything from every band Can I say it's all been done before Religion, science, similes to metaphors Can it be that there's nothing new When there's more ways of looking at the truth The more things seem to change The more they just stay the same But now it's called a different name Can you say things are new When you look at magazines And things you've seen in the news.19. One Last Cigarette
I check the time, it's 4:00 a.m. And I just passed the westside buildings All the broken glass As I try to shake the cold away, but anyways, It's late at night and I'm about to crack And decide to just walk the tracks That I just walked yesterday.
