| If a flag of truth were raised, we could watch every liar rise to wave it... |
| I don't care if they eat me alive, I've got better things to do then survive |
| Jumping is easy, falling is fun; right up until you hit the sidewalk, shivering and stunned |
| What bothers me is you believe what you're saying,What bothers me is you don't know how you feel What scares me is while you're telling me stories, You actually believe that they are real |
| The man behind the counter looks like he's got a half a dozen places he'd rather be And further more he looks like he's prepared to take it all out on me |
| I would like to perfect the art of being studiously aloof Life is just a boring chore, and I'm living proof |
| What if god is just an idea someone put in your head |
| The same rule always applies; Smile pretty and watch your back |
| I got pulled over in west Texas so they could look inside my car He said 'are you an american citizen?' I said yes sir, so far They made sure I wasn't smuggling anyone in from Mexico Someone willing to settle for America 'cause there's nowhere else to go |
| They were digging a new foundation in Manhattan And they discovered a slave cemetary there May their souls rest easy now that lynching is frowned upon We've moved on to the electric chair |
| Maybe I should put a bucket over my head And a marshmallow in each ear And stumble around for another dumb-numb week For another hum-drum hit song to appear |
| Love is a piano dropped from a four story window And you were in the wrong place at the wrong time |
| I know the guy she is talking about, I have met him before, and I think; What is this beautiful, beautiful woman settling for? |
| I see her features begin to blur As she pours herself into the mold he made for her And for everything he does she has a way to rationalize She tells me he don't mean what he do She tells me he called to apologize |

| It's just hard to travel in the shadow of regret, in fact it's so hard that I actually haven't left yet. |
| I didn't really notice when everything else disappeared, but as far as I'm concerned if it isn't her it isn't here. |
| They say goldfish have no memories, I guess their lives are much like mine. |
| I look up it looks like the buildings are burning, but it's just the sun setting in the windows, the solar system calling an end to another business day, eternally circling signaling the rythmic clicking on and off of computers, the pulse of the American machine. |
| Put me down punk, wouldn't you prefer a maiden fair? Isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere. |
