U Win Every Game
03:18
|
|||
I don’t need to go back home again
I’m getting tired of all the same events
I don’t need to make another friend
I don’t understand the need for them
Oooo how can I win if you don’t let me play
Oooo how can you lose if you got nothing at stake
Oooo it sounds so cliche but you rig every game
Oooo I know what to say but I can’t articulate
You can’t picture what’s the difference
But I can see the distance from the lens
In my head I’m like a congressman
But I’m treated like the Taliban
Oooo how can I win if you don’t let me play
Oooo how can you lose if you got nothing at stake
Oooo it sounds so cliche but you rig every game
Oooo I know what to say but I can’t articulate
(I’m winning you over)
Oooo how can I win if you don’t let me play
Oooo how can you lose if you got nothing at stake
Oooo it sounds so cliche but you rig every game
Oooo I don’t know what to say

I Can't Drive
02:25
|

I can't drive to save my life
I can't wait til I arrive
But when it comes to time
Well what comes to mind
Is what I'll come to find
That's when I come alive
I can't drive to save my life
I'm not primed for 65
When I go out tonight
What will go through my mind
Is where I'll go when I die
That's when I come alive!
It’s debated whether or not I’ve even been here at all
It’s debated
I can’t drive.

I tried to do it your way
But in the end it always comes out the same
I tried to do it again
But it’s just not the way I do it
I’m feeling kinda foolish
I’m bout to say just screw it I’m done
Yeah that’s not the way you do it
And I’m feeling kinda muted
And it’s time we face the music we’re done
Why can’t you do it my way
Just kick your ego right up outta this place
Then I would just celebrate
But that’s not the way you do it
Cuz you sit there and dispute it
With a face like you smell sewage or skunks
Yeah that’s not the way you do it
And I’m feeling kinda muted
And it’s time I face the music we’re done
Why can’t you just use your brain?
Why can’t you just use your brain?
Why can’t you just use your brain?
Well that’s not the way you do it and that sucks

I'm Not Fake
03:07
|
|||
I'm not fake
I walk it like I talk it
I see it as it should be
I never said I'm woodsy
hey
I'm not vain
I don't think I'm hot chocolate
I hide my feelings often
If it ain't your vibe, get off then
I'm not fake
I walk it like I talk it
I'm not vain
I don’t think I'm hot chocolate
I'm just plain
A burger with no sauce
Not even worth the cost
I'll fade away get lost, get lost
And we all go left and right
But then it doesn't matter any way
And we all get left behind
I guess it doesn't matter any way
I'm not brave
I'll never save the city
Afraid just like a kitty
This cape it just don't fit me
Hey
I'm not awake
By nature I’m so shitty
What made ya think I'm witty
It's never gonna hit me
Hey
I'm not fake
I walk it like I talk it
I'm not vain
I don’t think I'm hot chocolate
I'm just plain
A tooth without the floss
A Kate without the Moss
Just fade away get lost, get lost
And we all go left and right
But then it doesn't matter any way
And we all get left behind
I guess it doesn't matter any way
Wee Ooo you look just like Rivers Cuomo
Ohh ohh and I'm Catherine Zeta Jones
You're antique
You're unbelievable
Why would you see me
It's inconceivable
You're at your peak
You’re unachievable
Even in dreams
Not even feasible
And we all get left behind
I guess it doesn't matter any way

I Call Your Bluff
02:45
|
|||
I don’t know much
But I know my stuff
But still I get let down
I never judge
I hold no grudge
But still I get left out
Then sure enough
You actin sus
But I just feel it out
I don’t much
But I call your bluff
It’s not attractive honest
But I can see that’s there’s a little appeal
It’s my unconscious conscience
And I kinda like the way that it feels
But it’s unfixable
Unforgivable
Uninvincible skin
It’s so typical
So predictable
Unoriginal sin
Yeah I don’t know much
But I know my stuff
But still I get let down
I never judge
Or hold no grudge
But still I get left out
Then sure enough
You actin sus
But I just feel it out
I don’t much
But I call your bluff
Wait am I too self-conscious
A narcissistic contradiction concealed.
It’s an obnoxious contest
Spurious albeit for real
Egotistical
Hypocritical
A predictable flake
Too logistical
So sophistical
Unconditional hate
I don’t know much
But I know my stuff
But still I get let down
I never judge
I hold no grudge
But still I get left out
Then sure enough
You actin sus
But I just feel it out
I don’t much
But I call your bluff
Yeah, your bluff
Your bluff, your bluff, your, bluff, your bluff
I call your bluff

If I'm not careful, I might get bit
It's not that scary, but I’m scared of it
I put my hand out. I stretch it down.
I feel the pressure. I feel it out
I feel the doubt.
I'm freaking out
Your leaving now
I don't care at all (yet)
If I'm not careful, I might like it.
I don't have time for the commitment
I can't be trusted. I won't grow up.
I feel the pressure. I say enough.
I'm saving up.
You say this sucks
I like your guts
But I don't care at all
I don't care at all (yet)
You go on and on again
You get on and off the fence
You got all the evidence
And in my head but I’m never gonna care again
I'm not careful. I'll miss it.
I can't play catch. I'll sit the bench
im not athletic. competitive.
I don't play sports. I can't hit shit.
You can't do this.
I don't exist.
But here's the twist:
I dont care at all
I don't care all yet
You go on and on again
You get on and off the fence
You got all the evidence.
And got all the elegance
You know all the self defense
You got all the common sense
And your in my head but I’m never gonna care again

Shan't
03:55
|
|||
I shan't forget the way we fell
I can't believe it: fuck yeah I can
I shan't forgive the friends you took
I kept on thinking: acquisition
You went out
I fell out
I fell down beaten eatin shit
Shit
Shit
I shan't forgive assertive shit
I can't out wit it: inhibition
I shan't relive perverted slips
I kept on counting: statistician
I hang out
You bang out
I sank down beaten eatin shit.
Shit
Shit
Ugh.
But I don’t care no more
And maybe I did
It was weird at the time
But I really don't care at all that
You’re living my best life now
And I'm living your worst
I shan't forfeit my native crib
I can't vacate it: but yeah I did.
I shan't enlist commando kids
I can't campaign it: confrontation!
I can't bout
And you camped out
And I went down beaten eatin shit
Shit
Shit
I don’t care no more
But maybe I did
It was weird at the time
But I really don't care at all that
You’re living my best life now
And I'm living your worst
But he don’t care at all
And maybe he did
You’re living my best life now
And I'm living your worst

Hysterical
01:54

Due date
Born late
Heart rate
Complicate
He don’t know
She don’t know
They don’t care
Birthday
Eat cake
Hydrate
Kool aid
I don’t know
They don’t know
We don’t care
School aged
School mate
Lose weight
Zit face
Why is everything terrible
Making you so hysterical
Get in the deep end and swim
Why can’t you be more like him
It time get out of the nursery
And get right into a surgery
And here’s a complex with bread
Set up your pension you’re dead
Educate
Concentrate
Medicate
Dissipate
Dissipate
Dissipate
Dissipate

Takes 1 2 Know 1
02:05
|

It takes one to know one
And I’m that to no one
And I don’t wanna lose control
And I’m not ready to let
Go
Away
From here
Again
Go
Away
I fear
The end
It takes one to know one
And I’m back to no one
And I don’t wanna lose control
And I’m not ready to let
Go
Away
From here
Again
Go
Away
I fear
The end
Keep the drums going.
Now bring in just the guitars- the lead guitars
Cool
Keep those playing for a little bit and then second brink back in the rhythm guitar
You know what never mind, let’s just take it home.
I don’t wanna go
I don’t wanna go anymore
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know anymore
I don’t wanna Go
I don’t wanna Know - hey hey!
