1. COMPULSIVE PREP

so pissed off i can't get it off my mind
because it's happened again for the second time
i know she's lying but I believe her anyway
because I wanted things to turn out my way

some things are hard to let go
and sometimes you ain't got a choice
seems like no one wants to listen
or like they can't even hear my voice

speechless for words
but so many thoughts in my head
trying to figure out who I still got while
lying alone in my bed
and It's too emotional for my own good but is that bad
and would you care more if I cared less
but I guess it doesn't really matter anymore
because I'm gettin' rid of this mess

some things are hard to let go
and sometimes you ain't got a choice
seems like no one wants to listen
or like they can't even hear my voice

if I could turn back time I would not talk to you
cause you didn't want to hear from me and look how quickly were through
and I don't know if you do this to everyone but if you do
I think you're goin' down
because with a mind set like that you will eventually
get dicked around

ya goin' down ya goin' down and I'm not gonna' be around
ya goin' down ya goin' down and I'm not gonna' be around
ya goin' down ya goin' down and I'm not gonna' be around

to help you to help you
to help you to help you pull through

some things are hard to let go
and sometimes you ain't got a choice
seems like no one wants to listen
or like they can't even hear my voice

some things are hard to let go
and sometimes you ain't got a choice
seems like no one wants to listen
or like they can't even hear my voice


2. SAME OLD SAME OLD

you would never turn around your turning everything upside down
and tryin' to put the blame on me
but now that I'm a superstar you always want to hang around
and act like you did nothing wrong to me

I'm putting an end to my misery
and this the end why can't you see
I'm putting an end to my misery
and this the end why can't you see

the way you act now seems like we've been friends forever
but lookin' into those lying eyes I know better
you say it's been a long time since we have seen each other
you're feeling kind of beat and you wanna' talk to a friend
but here's the truth here's truth about the matter we were never friends

I'm putting an end to my misery
and this the end why can't you see
I'm putting an end to my misery
and this the end why can't you see

the way you act now seems like we've been friends forever
but lookin' into those lying eyes I know better
you say it's been a long time since we have seen each other
you're feeling kind of beat and you wanna' talk to a friend
but we were never friends

I'm putting an end to my misery
and this the end why can't you see
I'm putting an end to my misery
and this the end why can't you see
cant you see


3. RANDOM ARRIVAL

What's going on these days
I havent seen you in so long
What went on those days
Why weren't we getting along

What went on those days
I've missed you so much
All those times
That we drank way too much

(Chorus)
Everything's gonna be alright
Let's everybody get along tonight
There's nothing wrong with peace and unity
Cuz thats what makes a person free
To be themselves and thats what we need

What's going on these days
I haven't seen you in so long
What went on those days
Why weren't we getting along
Now that you're back
I'm so happy to see you

Drink some beer and smoke a bong or two

(Chorus)
Everything's gonna be alright
Let's everybody get along tonight
It doesn't matter if you're black or white
So move on move on move on move on
That's where I stand
no regrets no regrets no regrets no regrets
Just hold my hand

(Chorus)
Everything's gonna be alright
Let's everybody get along tonight

4. DODY ROAD

well i don't think tonight i'll participate

he says let's go i say where and it's dody road

no matter what you say and no matter what you do
you can't convince me can't pull me through
can't you tell I think it is a joke
I'll never go to dody road

with their one tattoo and their slicked back hair
they say their car is the raddest WOO-HOO

that i'll never go

but no matter what you say and no matter what you do
you can't convince me can't pull me through
can't you tell I think it is a joke
I'll never go to dody road
I'll never go to dody road


5. MOVIN' ON

This one's for the ladies

Sitting underneath the moonlight
Missing my baby tonight, this feeling's just not right
The last time we touched it's been so long
Her lovin' keeps me strong and I know that nothing's wrong

(Chorus)
But I feel so alone today
Cause I miss my baby
A love I've been missing for so long
Her lovin' keeps me movin' on

Never understand the way she makes me feel
When she holds my hand I hope that God had this planned
And she was his angel, lost her wings for this world
To come down here and save me, she's my baby

(Chorus)
But I feel so alone today
Cause I miss my baby
I know that she's the one for me
I know that she thinks the same about me
And I feel so alone today
Cause I miss my baby
A love I've been missing for so long
Her lovin' keeps me movin' on and on and on
Her lovin' keeps me movin' on

(Bridge)
I just keep holding on
But I'm not that strong
Without you
I just keep holding on
But I'm not that strong
Without you

(Chorus)
Cause I feel so alone today
Cause I miss my baby
I know that she's the one for me
I know that she thinks the same about me
Cause I feel so alone today
Cause I miss my baby
A love I've been missing for so long
Her lovin' keeps me movin' on

7. I'M STUCK

here's a little story about my life
I was a normal kid livin' it right
and I don't really know just what it was
but now I know I'm fucked up just because

I better not take another sip
or this time it might be it
I may never see another day
I better not take another sip
or this time it might be it
I may have my life tooken away

I lost myself a day ago
where I was I don't know
tomorrow I may find again the place that I've always been
in the darkness all alone that's the place that I always go
you'll always find me hiding there
smokin' a J and drinkin' a beer

I better not take another sip
or this time it might be it
I may never see another day
I better not take another sip
or this time it might be it
I may have my life tooken away

(lets go)

where I'm headed I don't really care
just as long as there all there
cause I know one day my life will be tooken away
and that day might be today

I better not take another sip
or this time it might be it
I may never see another day
I better not take another sip
or this time it might be it
I may have my life tooken away
I may have my life tooken away
I may have my life tooken away
I may have my life tooken away
and that day might be today

9. INDIAN PETE

took a trip with your friends up to michigan
couldn't wait to get back 'cause you wanted to see her again
but now you're back and everything's changed
why is it so different
why is it so strange
while you were gone all her thoughts somehow got rearranged

she left you feeling so cold
she left you feeling all alone

ya never thought that she would leave you in this way
and now you're all alone again why were you left astray
when your lost where do you run are you looking for someone
to come forward and be a friend who will be the one

she left you feeling so cold
she left you feeling all alone

I couldn't believe it when I heard the news
to come to me you would refuse
you wouldn't want to talk to a friend
cause things changed in the end
between us and a new crowd you had to choose
but such a friend I wasn't willing to lose
I said I'd be there until the end
cause I would do anything for a true friend...

she left you feeling so cold
she left you feeling all alone
all alone


10. SLOW MOTION

(Chorus)
It's slow motion, ya got me trapped inside this world
It's slow motion, will somebody please press play
It's slow motion
It's slow motion

I'm so bored with life
Is it because I wanted you to be my wife
And now she's gone again
And I wonder if she'll ever be my girlfriend again
I think what can I do now
Sittin by my kitchen table wondering how
One second, life can be filled with so much emotion

(Chorus)
Ya got me trapped inside this world
It's slow motion, will somebody please press play
It's slow motion, ya got me trapped inside this world
It's slow motion, will somebody please press play

I wake up get out of bed
I feel like the walking dead
I take off my pants and wash my face
I'm safe again in the place I love to be
The unconscious world
Is the best world of all
With no real worry or fears at all

So once again, something hits me in the eye
It's the morning sun and
It's bringing me back to the place I don't want to be
I don't wanna be

(Chorus)
It's slow motion, ya got me trapped inside this world
It's slow motion, will somebody please press play
It's slow motion, ya got me trapped inside this world
It's slow motion, will somebody press play
Slow motion
Slow motion
Slow motion (Press play)
Slow motion

It's slow motion, ya got me trapped inside this world
It's slow motion, will somebody please press play
It's slow motion, ya got me trapped inside this world
It's slow motion, will somebody please press


11. 3'Z MY LUCKY NUMBER

the one that I want is gone
and the two I never had are back
but I'll give up everything with those two
just to have the one that I had back
because...

you don't know what you got until it's gone
and with those two it's been way to long
to try and respark any flames I ever had
and it makes me sad to think that everything I wanted back then
is coming back to me now

3'z my lucky number but I think I'm goin' down
I think I'm gonna' crumble with all these people around
they were the one's that tore me up and threw me out
but I'm a stronger person now I wont go that route
because...

12. TO ALL MY HOMIES

good and bad things come in life
and I wish the good things would stay
but usually it don't go my way
and the good things fly away
I have a knack for doing wrong
but I try and I try
maybe my future don't look so bright
but I'm not asking why

you gotta live your life from day to day
that's the only way
don't fear the things that you don't know
just listen and learn
and let the hard feelings go

I try to make new friends from day to day
and if they respect me man fuck they're ok
it's the yuppity white people that fear me
that I can't stand to see
cause if you're a good person at heart
your color means nothing to me
I talk to so many black people from day to day
and it seems like every time I see a white person
they just turn away

you gotta live your life from day to day
that's the only way
don't fear the things that you don't know
just listen and learn and let the hard feelings go

you gotta live your life from day to day
ya ya that's the only way
don't fear the things that you don't know
just listen and learn and let the hard feelings go


13. THAT SONG

I'll say it once I'll say it twice
you look real fine you look real nice
but from here what do I do
maybe you have a boyfriend and maybe you don't
but it don't matter 'cause we probably won't
talk tonight

I said stay here with me
cause I wanna see what kind of person you are
but because I can't talk and speak what I thought
you drift away so far stay here with me
stay here with me

break it down

that cute little blonde streak in your hair
that nerdy guy's got his arm around you that ain't fair
but am I really the one that is the nerd
because of him to you my voice will never be heard
never be heard

stay here with me
cause I wanna see what kind of person you are
but because I can't talk and speak what I thought
you drift away so far stay here with me

I don't wanna be just another guy
and I don't wanna be just another guy
that comes up to you and tells you you're fine
and you walk away cause you ain't got the time
to listen to what I think oh how I wish that you were mine

so stay here with me
cause I wanna see what kind of person you are
but because I can't talk and speak what I thought
you drift away so far stay here with me
stay here with me
stay here with me


14. Y

I got this story don't know what it's about
but I'm gonna' tell you anyway
what I do with my life I don't really care
but I know I was sure left astray
I know what I want
and I know it runs deep through your body too
you'll never understand
just what the fuck i've gone through

why'd you do this to me
I don't know
why won't you let me leave
I don't know

why'd you do this to me
I don't know
why won't you let me leave
I don't know

it's this pain that I feel
is this life really for real
or is this just another nightmare
because I know you just don't care
you say it wasn't your fault
ther's a lesson that's gotta' be taught
if it was love that you make believed
then you're gonna have to live with me

why'd you do this to me
I don't know
why won't you let me leave
I don't know

why'd you do this to me
I don't know
why won't you let me leave
I don't know

the bright light goin' dim
and I can't believe the state of mind I'm in
I didn't ask to take this ride
this is the end and I will see you on the other side

16. BEER

we're drinking our lives away
I think it was better yesterday
that was when I had a hold on life my goals and my dreams
a straighter mind a straighter way to think you know what I mean

but now it's gone
now it's gone
now it's gone and I want it back
it's motivation that I lack
and the will power that I need
to set me free

it makes my life a little easier
it takes away my daily pains
so what if it makes me think of the bad
that's not the only thing I've had
only on my mind hears my confessions
but i was wrong
i was wrong
and now its gone
and i want it back
its the motivation i lack
and the will power that i need
to set me free

but now it's gone and I want it back
it's motivation that I lack
and the will power that I need
to set me free
to set me free

but now it's gone and I want it back
it's motivation that I lack
and the will power that I need
to set me free
i wanna be free
to set me free
i wanna be free


17. ON MY MIND

my mind thinks in a weird way
changing a thought from day to day
one day i thought i'd like to
and the next day i just didn't know
the problem is i'm gonna see you
every day and at every show

but then i see this other girl
my mind went into another world
i think i'm too strange for her
that's why i'm macking you

too many thoughts in my mind
i think i would rather be blind
cuz then i wouldn't dream about you
and you wouldn't be on my mind
you're always on my mind

i don't know how to let you know
how i feel about you
i guess i'll just write another song
cuz that's all i know how to do

and when the tale of crushing's done
and then just write another one
but i don't think this time my arm
is going to run write
but then i see this other girl
my mind went into another world
i think i'm too strange for her
that's why i'm macking you

too many thoughts in my mind
i think that i would rather be blind
cuz then i wouldn't dream about you
and you wouldn't be on my mind
you're always on my mind

i hope you will understand
i hope you can understand
when you are not
you know how to relate
and i hope you will understand

i hope you don't laugh at me
and take this as a joke
i hope you will understand
cuz believe me this time
these feelings are for real

too many thoughts in my mind
i think i would rather be blind
cuz then i wouldn't dream about you
and you wouldn't be on my mind
you're always on my mind
get up

too many thoughts in my mind
i think i would rather be blind
cuz then i wouldn't dream about you
and you wouldn't be on my mind
you're always on my mind

youll always be on my mind


18. IS THIS THE END?

is my family falling apart or has it already
and is my life falling apart because I'm not ready
to live in this world all alone
I'm not a man just a boy going through life
the best the best that I can

don't let peoples' opinions change you
you must stay strong cause if your environment gets to you
your sanity won't last that long
is this the end?

she says she doesn't want to be here
well why why don't she go
is she telling the truth
or putting on another big show
and I don't know if this would effect me
or bother me in any way
I guess that's just how I've grown up
I live my life my own way
don't let peoples' opinions change you
you must stay strong cause if your environment gets to you
your sanity won't last that long
is this the end?
is this the end?
is this the end?

things are really fuct up but I know I'll make it through
cause I've got some good friends to help me and they've done it too
my friends thought I had everything 'cause my parents gave me what I want
but what they can't see is inside my heart is torn in knots
so lost and confused at the age of 17
will my life stay like this will I grow up to be old and mean
please God help me I know you're on my side
help me get the grass thats greener on the other side
I hide

don't let peoples' opinions change you
you must stay strong cause if your environment gets to you
your sanity won't last that long
is this the end?
is this the end?
is this the end?
at the age of 17 is this the end

is this the end?
is this the end?
is this the end?
at the age of 17 is this the end
