how did i do not good fuck me i spent the last ten days of my life not getting any
sleep well how do i do i don't fuck you i spent the last ten days of my life
searching for you what have you i heard i heard everything and all that has
changed i have no clean clothes selling my heart plus delusion plus nowhere left
to go small things become smaller false not true you were not right i have some
guts somewhere well how did i do not good fuck this i spent the last ten days of
my life ripping off the Smiths the pressure is on my head my knew this amp's
too heavy to carry i need some wheels now what have you i heard i heard
everything
without complaint restraint you buy time you never wanted to care you kill you kill
you kill without no out fake smile teeth brain you never wanted to care you fuck
you fuck you fuck kissa kissa my girlfriend in the van at some sow i trade the
kisses for pennies to stick between my toes all is well side to side and brush
away the the strands we are all in the way we are all in the way in i hitchiked to
the Eastside and traded the pennies for seats in the bleachers at the ballgame we
didn't speak a word and fear fear i'm sick with it and i know why it's cement
blocks on my face and legs i'd trade the pennies to grow wings and eight more
eyes
what i should have been was way too possible it's fucked up to think like this and
i'm waiting for her thoughts to kill me only she's not having a thought past thinking
about why she was born this way this way trying not to forget her face before
remembering anyways it's the kind of structure that breaks with everyone still on
the ground you don't' wat to let it hit you full force nothing let to guard you don't
want me to know you never wanted me this way this way you never wanted me
anyways she wants to forget it she wants to forget it
whole lot of things to say but i can't seem to hold on moved away it pulls me back
to what i miss like talking talking talking to the mad queen about emotional evolution
well i do what i do and i don't need you t o tell me what's in and tell me who's cool
i've got no money left and the mean world around me and i don't need that girl to
watch TV with she's just the same girl over and over and over and you can go
back to your boyfriend half of this is me and i'm not sure who the other is she
maybe came from all of you this house is warm i think i'll take a nap just like
Freewheel, Freewheel!!!
it's where the obvious turns dumb and clarity turns off i'm standing somewhere
near the back of the room i'm on her left i'm in between her she's amazing her
words save me she hold her head as if it's truth where the last one passed me
by read about her in the papers and on TV they say she's outspoken many
people will try to destroy her but if she were to stop i stop we all stop she's
amazing her words save me she holds her head as if it's truth i'm sorry my
mistake do i sound strange i always wanted to make sense i fell flat i gave in i
gave in you cannot trust all lies i always wanted to make sense do i lose..she's
amazing her words save me she holds her head and it's truth
i cry out in the darkness forever to be free and i cry out so my loneliness won't
get the best of me i can see a brave tomorrow when i might just leave this town
after all these days and nights of anxious sadness left me tired and doubting
everything i thought i'd found apprehension strange letters found two kittens on
the tracks i got my picture taken twice today when are you coming back i can see
a brave tomorrow don't let this spaceship bring me down after all these days and
nights of anxious sadness left me tired of doubting everything i've got my love my
life not this time i'm found this one's for this girl i know tree bound bug locked
stare i know one hundred and forty one days no rest less i miss one single kiss
there's a tree fort on this island on the river by oaks park we found it on our bikes
and had fake fights until dark this one's for this girl i know tree bound bug locked
stare i know i'd be a fly around your hair or a pin in your neck if you knew which
you liked best well i looked into the distance you said all i know is what i see
sincerity not guessing at our own humanity but i'm still driving up and down I-5
figuring what's fucked counting on the distance between underground justice and
handmade luck
sinead o'conner locked up in a hollow tree starts a cable station called number
one chance pirate TV the creatures of the forest reject network TV as a thing out
of control we're building bombs looking for our chance this shit's for me it's time to
choose it's time to see who will be loyal and who will betray the forces that be if
you're wearing blue stand up if you're wearing red sit down if you're wearing
green you're mine if you're wearing green i'm yours dry it off try it on it's one
day's ransom pay if that's a relief now i'm convinced and another thing are you
bound by every thought that ever crossed your mind sometimes it feels alright
and that's a relief sometimes it feels alright like when you rip a picture of the pope
they tell you it's a lie your word against his so tell me who's right and how was
he supposed to know i know what to do with this body i had on a polyester
basketball uniform and i can't forget this if i try i know what to do with this body
when i was fourteen i fell in love with her in metal shop she said kaia come pray
with me we sat on her bed and we held our hands together she told me i
needed god i told her i just needed her when i was fifteen i liked to start fires and
drive my parents truck to the jasper store things were out of control i couldn't't
stop to see others the ones like me were not far from reach when i was sixteen
she said to me you have a demon possession i said what the fuck does that
mean she said she couldn't be my friend those were the worst days of my life
and all the hick boys loved to harass me so i flaunted my hatred of the flag my
mother cried when i shaved my head
it's summer the hairs grown in on my upper thigh just like so much corn in late july
but is it summer i'm shaking and my feet are bitter cold i need some fries to go
with that shake i need to grease back my hair or let it whip in my face let it whip
my face i love you baby i love you we'll stock up on canned goods and move to
the woods we'll find a piece of land and quit this fucking band i love you baby i
love you
My mom says she loves me but i know it's not yes yes yes she does cause she
doesn't treat me like you treat someone you love, you love But i can choose my
own family, i'll take one Uncle Phranc She's seen what it is to feel , and be called
crazy, I love my Uncle Phranc She told me if I go in the ocean, i've got to know it's
the shark's world She told me not to fuck with straight girls, she told me not to
take pills, not to take pills Take one Uncle Phranc, Take one Uncle Phranc My mom
says she loves me, but i don't think it's love cause she only loves me when i act
just like she does and that's emotional blackmail.
you want it it's coming only it's just the time before fall hand me your jacket now i
am yours missed the first step fell cut my lip i've been eating too much sugar
there's no cover there's a truth in it definitely if only i'd know where i was it was
too dangerous too unbalanced to try and walk the ledge take one step back it's
one step forward give me your word i'll go steady with you comfort bound turn
off the light won't go back to sleep until i read 5 more pages then i'm gonna set
them on fire watch them leave watch my words disappear watch me from the
inside my room crouched down on all fours
Tried to warn my neighbors about my inner plot The girl next door with no conscience what a dreadful
thought Now i'm a politician not smart enough to lie i'll cut the space program, and have your check by 5 Please
don't forget me, cause i was bound to lose She said my greatest strength, is my greatest weakness
Some things are probably better kept to myself But some scared part of me tells
everything as if that could help There is no quiet, no quiet is rewarded, inertia
keeps you moving or standing still Stay alive carpenter, you can laugh if you fail,
Don't get behind the gun, just to hope you get killed A girl with no conscience,
fuck right you should be scared Don't be a whore.
the council less rated clean intent i'll trade you the first one called the last one
picked you'll suave fast but you'll miss whose traction trains slipping your
tractions aims slipping the first one called the last one picked a hunger for
continuity am i next let's meet there between the core and the mantel the last is it
fine? it's OK it's inaudible it gets through sometimes is it fine it's OK am i butch or
femme can i register i hear all the things they say about me I hear all the things i
wonder how they know all these things I don't know about me if you know so
much would you mind sharing it please.
i'm scared to leave the house, i'm scared to go to sleep And when i do, i wake up
feeling scared My girlfriend cuddles me and holds me when i cry I tell her that i'm
scared,ask if she thinks i'll die She tells me i'm OK, I don't believe her but it makes
me feel better anyway Can't get myself to eat, trick myself and watch TV Even
when it works, I end up puking scared My girlfriend cuddles me and holds me
when i cry I tell her that i'm scared, she says that i won't die She tells me i'm OK
but i don't believe her, but it makes me feel better anyways.
TO THE ENEMIES OF POLITICAL ROCK
Look out, lookout it's all around it seems like the only job in town here it is in 1996,
you'd think everybody'd be sick of this bullshit But we're not, we just want to
smoke pot You can kiss my ass just give me some grass Do it yourself means do
it for me, i don't' give a shit just get my video on MTV You know exactly what you
want, so don't hide your greed behind me Just own it you little slacker fuck, didn't
you hear, there's no free money It's not magic it's work, yeah it's cool and it's
work And it can feel like a choice between pleasure and existence.
she said i'd really like to but i got a lot to think and write about why don't you go
back home and i'll stop by tomorrow she said you know i'd really like to but i've got
so much to think and write about why don't you go back home and i'll stop by
tomorrow and we'll clean your room pretend you're here pretend you're here take
you to the corner i'll take you out for drinks i'll take you to my room and you can
take on me i have got it figured out hold on one second i have got it figured out
wish i was riding bikes with you i've sat down in the middle of this mess i've
made of letters and clothes wish i was anywhere with you i've sat down in the
middle of this mess i've made of letters and if you were here pretend you are not
2,000 miles away
i'm afraid walking down the street holding hands with my girlfriend that some cop
is gonna arrest me (uh, excuse me ladies) sometimes i think i've even done
something wrong invite me in show me around make me feel safe i am illegal i'm
nearly gone i have this vivid memory of being in a boat with a friend i was 11 i
said girls can't get married to each other i remember thinking how fucked up that
was you say you have a ban on affection did i hear you right? what do you think
cuz i'm not sure whether i didn't get that job (we hired someone else) because my
hair's parted on the wrong side or because im a flaming s&m rubber dyke
(whack!)
YES I AM TOO, BUT WHO AM I REALLY?
Don't tell us we only care about the dykes and fags, Don't try and find fake
reasons to hate us Some people get it, lots more people need it Freedom is
freedom, it's for all or it's all for nothing it's been hours it's on strike I'll turn it
around i'm a contradiction I don't want to be a man you can be what you want
with me What you want it what i want you to tell me to boss you around I want to
watch you lose control sometimes I'm the Fonz mostly i'm a puppy you're sexy
boss me around please i want you to You can be what you want with me What
you want is what i want you to tell me to boss you around sitting in the back of
the not room enough for me to turn around and get the fuck away from their
stupid interrogations it's been hours or 5 years no reunion that implies a thing that
never existed something that never existed hey you're sexy come here and boss
me around chain me to the bed now unchain me from the bed it's what we
choose to say, and how certain things are said And what we choose to say, and
how certain things are said
she wants to embrace her, however the world will change She wants to feel, but
she can only describe it Don't let the monster stay under the bed , don't' let the
monster stay under the bed Hey you, say what she needs to hear It's just like
Donna said it depends where you're at in your head you can find what you need
maybe it's finding a very secret place to hide your copy of Rubyfruit Jungle
maybe you're writing your own There's a wig wearing boy named psychic Al
what's he's looking for, he won't find in school He stays up late, flipping through
tapes Listening to songs he's heard a hundred times, but nothing's there Hey you,
say what he needs to hear Queer sex is great, it's fun as shit don't worry Jesus
is dead and God don't exist and swearing is fun, it's funner than piss, that's it's
stupid is a cruel and classist myth. Queer sex is great, it's fun as shit, Don't kill
yourself cause people can't deal with your brilliance Sometimes I can't remember
why i want to live Then i think of all the freaks and i don't want to miss this It's just
like Donna said it depends where you're at in your head.
Takes notes from a movie box Make a list of what I need Remember who you are,
remember who you are But then, I can't feel good about anything And just when i
get something started I read or hear something, that makes me forget My
confidence or honesty What are my motives are they selfless enough, Are they
righteous, righteous enough? Then before I get started, I get all fucked up Can't
get sick of thinking about meaning or language or anything that gets me hot Make
up who you are, it makes up who you are Then I found myself dancing alone in
my room I was writing in my journal, playing records When i felt my shoulders
slide from side to side I found the bass in my hips Being alone brings courage and
strength of mind Take off your shirt and watch TV Remember who you are, and
make up who you are But then I just want a public place Where girls can meet
each others stare Sometimes that;s what it takes just to know you're alive To feel
yourself burning just from some girl's stare My that's a strange costume Slip your
fingers under my belt Put up signs to make up who you are Send out signals
telling who you are Transmit messages about who you are No matter who you are

From where i stand i could see it all, i do, i don't. Make up my mind it's getting late, i will, i won't. It has something
