Basket Case
Dookie

Do you have the time
to listen to me whine
About nothin' and everything all at once

I am one of those
melodramatic fools
Nuerotic to the bone
no doubt about it

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays trick on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm crackin' up
Am I just paranoid
I'm just stoned

I went to a shrink
to analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex
that's bringin' me down

I went to a whore
he said my life's a bore
So quit my whinin'
cause it's bringin' her down.

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays trick on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm crackin' up
Am I just paranoid
ah-ya-ya-yaaa

Grasping to control
So you better hold on

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays trick on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm crackin' up
Am I just paranoid?
I'm just stoned

When I Come Around
Dookie

I heard you crying loud
All the way across town
You've been searching for that someone
And it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself

Don't get lonely now
And dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment
Sleazin' my back yard so don't get
So uptight you been thinking about ditching me

No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around

I heard it all before
So don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user
So i don't need no accuser
To try and slag me down because I know you're right

So go do what you like
Make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your self-doubt
Means nothing was ever there
You can't go forcing something
If it's just not right

No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around

She
Dookie

She
She screams in silence
A sullen riot penetrating through her mind
Waiting for a sign to smash the silence
With the brick of self-control

Are you locked up in a world thats been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool w/ out a use?
Scream at me untill my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you

She
She's figured out
All her doubts were really some one else's point of veiw
Waking up this time
To smash the silence
with the brick of self-control

Are you locked up in a world that's been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Scream at me untill my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you (x2)

Welcome To Paradise
Dookie

Dear Mother
Cant you hear me whining?
It's been 3 whole weeks
Since I have left your home
This sudden fear has left me trembling
Cuz now it seems that I am out here on my own
& I'm feelin so alone

Pay attention to the cracked streets & the broken homes
Some call it slums some call it nice
I wanna take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise

A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps & left dead on his own
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now feelin like my home
& I'm never gonna go

Pay attention to the cracked streets & the broken homes
Some call it slums some, call it nice
I wanna take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise

Dear Mother
Can you hear me laughing?
It's been 6 whole months
Since I have left your home
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now feelin like my home
& I'm never never gonna go

Pay attention to the cracked streets & the broken homes
Some call it slums, some call it nice
I wanna take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise
Paradise....

Longview
Dookie

Sit around & watch the tube
But nothin's on
Change the channels for an hour or 2
Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit
I'm sick of all the same old shit
In a house with unlocked doors
& I'm fuckin lazy

Bite my lip & close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going blind
& I smell like shit

Peel me off this velcro seat
& get me movin
I sure as hell cant do it by myself
I'm feelin like a dog in heat
Barred indoors from the summer street
I locked the door to my own cell
& I lost the key

I got no motivation
Where is my motivation?
No time for motivation
Smoking my inspiration

Sit around & watch the phone
But no one's callin
Call me pathetic, call me
What you will (will)
My mother says to get a job
But she dont like the one she's got
When masturbation's lost it's fun
Youre fucking breaking

Bite my lip & close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored
I'm going blind
& loneliness has to suffice
Bite my lip & close my eyes
Slippin away to paradise
Some say 'Quit or I'll go blind'
But's a just myth

Time of Your Life (Good Riddance)
Nimrod

Another turning point
a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist
directs you were to go

So make the best of this test
and don't ask why
It's not a question
but a lession learned in time

It's something unpredictable
but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

So take the photographs
and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf
of good help and good time

Tattoos of memories
and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth
it was worth all the while

Its somthing unpredictable
but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

Platypus
Nimrod

Your rise and fall
Back up against the wall
What goes around is coming back and haunting you

It's time to quit
Cause you ain't worth the shit
Under my shoes or the p*ss on the ground
No one loves you and you know it

Don't pretend that you enjoy it or you don't care
Cause now I wouldn't lie or tell you all the things you want to hear
I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU

I heard your sick
Sucked on that cancer stick
A throbbing tumor and a radiation high
Shit out of luck

And now your time is up
It brings me pleasure just to know your going to die

Dickhead, Fuckface, crack smoking, mother fucking, asshole, dirty twit,
waste of semen, I hope you die HEY

Red eye, code blue
I'd like to strangle you
And watch your eyes bulge right out of your skull

When you go down
Head first into the ground
I'll stand above you just to p*ss on your grave

Hitchin' A Ride
Nimrod

Hey mister where you headed?
Are you in a hurry?
I need a lift to happy hour
Say oh no

Do you brake for distilled spirits?
I need a break as well
The well that inebraites the guilt
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

Cold turkey's getting stale
Tonight I am eating crow
Fermented salmonella poison
Oak no

There's a drought at the fountain of youth
And now I'm dehydrating
My tongue is swelling up
As 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4

Troubled times you know
You know I can notlie
I'm off the wagon and
I'm hithin' a ride

Theres a drought at the fountain of youth
And I am dehydrating
My tongue is swelling up
I say shit!

One for the Razorbacks
Kerplunk

Juliet's trying to find out what
she wants, but she don't know
Experience has got her down
Look this direction, I know it's
not perfection, it's just me...
I want to bring you up again now

I'm losing what's left of my dignity
A small price I'll pay to see
That you're happy
Forget all the disappointments
you have faced
Open up your worried world
and let me in

Juliet's crying cause now she's
realizing love can be
Filled with pain and distrust
I know I am crazy, and a bit lazy
But I will try to bring you up
again now

Words I Might Have Ate
Kerplunk

Now it seems I can't keep my
mind off you
My brain drifts back to
better days we're been through
Like sitting on blacktop of the
school grounds
The love I bitched about I
finally found

But now it's gone and I take the blame
So there's nothing I can do but take the pain
Why?

Now, I dwell on what you remind me of
A sweet young girl who sacrificed her love
As for me... I am blind withouta cause
And now I realized what I have lost

It was something real that I could have had
Now I play the fool who's stable soul's gone bad
Why?

Tell me the words I might have said
That's pumping pressure deep inside my head
Was it bad enough to be too late?
Just tell me the words I might have ate

Brain Stew
Insomniac

I'm having trouble trying to sleep
I'm counting sheep but running out
As time ticks by
And still I try
No rest for crosstops in my mind
On my own, here we go. . . .

My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry
Face is numb
Fucked up and spun out in my room
On my own, here we go. . . .

My mind is set on overdrive
The clock is laughing in my face
Crooked spine
Senses dulled
Passed the point of delirium
On my own, here we go. . .
