Flavor Ice

It was a warm summer day
Watching TV with a flavor ice
Melting in my hand
Watching Endless Summer fifty times or more
With my girlfriend and the band
We walked down the beach to
Watch the sun come up
Drinking a coke she let out a burp
So I refilled her cup
It's 3am, all I hear is my air conditioning
Getting bored I feel so lame
I'll go piss in her coffee cup again
She said she's coming back
But I know that she's never coming back again

The kids still have a lot to say
About what's going on today
They're finding answers, finding ways
Can't be deterred, won't be dismayed

Punk Rock Academy

I was fighting the mold in the bowl with my pee, when a thought popped into my brain.
If all of us hate high school so much, why was nothing ever changed?
So I called Brian up, with my plan that's red hot, we got a private institution in the name of punk rock.
We got the government funding, and our own private road, and 666 for our radio snow code.
I had a dream when I was in high school, that I attended the Punk Rock Academy.
Chris Jensen's teaching science and he's still running mountains.
We fired the guy from Bad Religion cause he sold punk rock out and,
We'll give the dirty punks a dip and get rid of their fleas
And we'll never ever buy anything with a UPC.
I had a dream when I was in high school, that I attended the Punk Rock Academy.
At the Punk Rock Academy,
where all the students,
they're diagnosed with ADD.
We'll import a token jock and we will kick his token ass!
And there will never ever be a physical education class!
Think about it you'll agree, it's the bizzity bizzity bomb
Maybe we can get ATOM to play the senior prom!
I had a dream when I was in high school, that I attended the Punk Rock Academy, and no one made fun of me.

What’s wrong with this picture?
Things just don’t seem to work out
However much I try
It still stays covered up inside.
Is it fear of my own feelings
or is it fear of my own lies?
Whatever it is, it always stays inside.
Maybe it's an insecurity?
Or maybe I’m just actually afraid to be me!
But that’s the beauty of the mind
Cuz in reality, you’ll never know
what someone’s thinking!
From time to time
From person to person,
From child to child
We all have those inner thoughts
And feelings we all try to ignore
We ask ourselves is this a problem
Or are we just insecure
Maybe just uncertain
About what’s behind that door
Maybe it's an insecurity?
Or maybe I’m just actually afraid to be me!
But that’s the beauty of the mind
Cuz in reality, you’ll never know
what someone’s thinking!
But that’s what makes us different
So if you should stress over this
Keep inside coz we all open up in time
That little voice inside your head
Will sooner or later become
YOUR! BEST! FRIEND!

Drinking Alone
02:57

Red faced, empty glass,
Reminisce on what has passed,
Where you've been and who you've met,
What you've seen, it may not be a lot to me,
It may not be a lot to me, but I still feel for you.
You take your drink, don't say a word,
You sit there on your own as straight as possible,
Where has everybody gone,
Don't you know anyone anymore?
I wonder what you think about
and who you are.

I like the way you define happiness
You can't be satisfied unless you're bleeding
I'm here to undermine your power trip
It seems like years
Since you've been thinking clearly
I am fearless
Now you've got no one to push around
You can never take me down again
You're so content destroying everyone
It's like there's no one
Who will talk back to you
Stop sucking up all of the atmosphere
Don't take a breath until you think this over
I want to redefine your happiness
I'll take away the hate and spill it over
It's time to wake up from your dream state
It is impossible for you to stop me

Oh, girl of mine
Why don't you go and tell another lie?
Why don't you go because the truth hurts much too much sometimes?
Baby, tell another lie
Sugarcoat the truth and, baby, tell me that you love me again
'Cause I couldn't bear to hear I'm just another one of your friends
And you don't have to be sincere
Just tell me what I wanna hear
[Chorus]
Well, girl of mine
Why don't you go and tell another lie?
Why don't you go because the truth hurts much too much sometimes?
Baby, tell another lie
Sugarcoat the truth 'cause I don't wanna be the one left behind
And I couldn't live knowing that I was never worth any time
And I've got reason to believe
That you know just how to deceive
Give me something I can hold on to
'Cause you know I'm still in love with you
Give me something I can take back home
'Cause I don't wanna be alone
Well, girl of mine
Why don't you go and tell another lie?
Why don't you go because the truth hurts much too much sometimes?
Baby, tell another lie
Well, baby, tell another lie
Well, baby, tell another lie

Just like Kurt
I'll kiss you and hug you
Just like Kurt
I'm kind of scared to dance Just like Kurt
I could totally love you
If you'd only give me half a chanceJust like Kurt (just like Kurt)
I'll kiss you and hug you
Just like Kurt (just like Kurt)
I'm kind of scared to dance
Just like Kurt (just like Kurt)
I could totally love you
If you'd only give me half a chance
If there's no way (no way in hell)
Why'd you lift your eyes at all
Why did you fill my head up real junky (junky), junky (junky)
Just like Kurt (just like Kurt)
I'll kiss you and hug you
Just like Kurt (just like Kurt)
I'm kind of scared to danceJust like Kurt (just like Kurt)
I could totally love you
If you'd only give me half a chance
Why do I put up with this
Every damn night (evеry damn night)
Who the hell do I have to fight
Why could you fill my hеad up real junky (junky), junky (junky)
Just like Kurt (just like Kurt)
I'll kiss you and hug you
Just like Kurt (just like Kurt)
I won't take you anywhere
Just like Kurt (just like Kurt)
I will probably dump you
Cause by now, Kurt and I don't care
Kurt and I don't care
Kurt and I don't care
Kurt and I don't care
Kurt and I don't care (Don't care, don't care)
Yeah

Cynical

cynical, that belies something.
your disappointment betrays a belief-
you had hoped for better...haven't we all?
...hoped for better, and you will never get over that.
it is in layers that we cover the past's pain,
layers of lesser or greater pain.
sometimes it's hard to remember
what I was running from then.
sometimes it's hard to remember what led me...
to what chases me now
maybe something happened somewhere,
and you weren't there.
maybe we could build something,
but you're just too smart to care.
don't you want your silence to be heard?
you've always had the flesh, now find the words
don't be absurd...
it is in layers that we cover the past's pain,
layers of lesser or greater pain.
sometimes it's hard to remember
what I was running from then.
sometimes it's hard to remember what led me...
to what changes me now.
god damn it all, god damn it all,
you don't believe, and I can't even blame you at all
so through it all, through it all,
you never let them know.

You’re right!
I do not believe in a religion that doesn’t exist.
It can’t have taste you said
I wish I could live, and get away from this hell
You speak of unity then divide us by what we eat.
Its pick one or the other
You go inside, you get rice.
What you decide is for yourself
Instead, put it on your clothes
What a good idea
Salad isn’t punk and I’m seeing pink
New Jersey's alright, New Jersey's alright
New Jersey's alright if you like saxophones
New Jersey's alright if you wanna get buried in the meadowlands
New Jersey’s alright if you like taylor ham not pork roll
New Jersey's alright if you’re ok with a little toxic waste
New Jersey's alright if you don’t pump your own gas

Inside, I am what I am, and no one can change me
If I could be what I'm not, and be what I hate...
Then that would be great
I don't want to grow up yeah, I always want to be a kid
Face responsibilities, well I don't need...
True, my life is a constant struggle
Cuz I'm always fucking up and I'm always causing trouble
For myself and no one else
Could ever be expected to understand me
Wasted potential for seventeen years
I'm the only one to blame and no one really cares
This is my life! (No more!)
This is my world! (No Less!)
This is my choice! (Fuck you!)
I'll do what I want to do!
Ever since I was little I just had to be myself
Acting like a fool my parents told me I wasn't well
Well, now I've grown to know myself
and I've grown to know my friends
And being ourselves is what we do so I hope it never ends
I am the type of guy, you see who's got to run around
I've got my own styles and I've got my own sound
So if you put it all together then you've got what makes me me
Cuz I'm a Taxicab Samurai, that’s all I'll ever be
This is my life! (No more!)
This is my world! (No Less!)
This is my choice! (Fuck you!)
I'll do what I want to do!
Just want to be myself
Is there anything wrong with that? No.
Just want to be myself
