1. CYNIC

Yeah - I made a promise to love myself
But somehow I don't think that I'm gonna make it
Yeah - Is that me behind the screen?
I see some shapes but I can't see any faces

An ego might not be so bad
It could be something I should have
I can't make my mind up
Help me with this while I grip this
I made a promise to myself but I think I need some help
If you see something that is good in me won't you tell me?
And maybe I'd be something you could stand

Yeah - I made a promise to love myself
I think this could be good for you as well as me
Yeah - I know I'm not that much fun
The joke I have become doesn't make you laugh

Here comes the doubt again


2. BOUND FOR THE FLOOR

Born to be down
I've learned all my lessons before now
Born to be down
I think you'll get used to it

And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic

And you don't
And you don't
And you don't
And you don't

Born to be down
I think that I've said this before now
Born to be down
What good is confidence?

And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic

And you don't
And you don't
And you don't
And you don't

And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic

And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic

And you don't
And you don't
And you don't
And you don't

And you don't
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you don't
And you learn to accept it, you know it's pathetic
And you don't
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you don't
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic

And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic

And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic
And you just don't get it, you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it, you know it's so pathetic

And you don't


3. HIGH-FIVING MF

You high fiving motherfucker
You high fiving motherfucker
You high fiving motherfucker
You high fiving motherfucker

You're just a walking billboard for all the latest brands
You've got no taste in music and you really love our band
Your haircut is atrocious, been the same since '83
Your glory days are over and so's your stonewashed jeans

You crass fat-ass
You stupid steroid fuck
I bet you even named your
Grand prize Monster Truck
You want me - you can't pay
You want me - you can't pay
You want me - you want me

You high fiving motherfucker
You high fiving motherfucker
You high fiving motherfucker
You high fiving motherfucker

You're just a walking billboard for all the latest brands
You've got no taste in music and you really love our band
Your haircut is atrocious, been the same since '83
Your glory days are over and so's your stonewashed jeans

You crass fat-ass
You stupid steroid fuck
Hi-jack the pit you shit
Male bonding as moose rut

You want me - you can't pay (x6)
You want me - you want me
You crass fat-ass (x12)
You high-fiving motherfucker (x3)
You high-fiving
You high-fiving motherfucker (x3)

4. ALL THE KIDS ARE RIGHT

You heard that we were great
But now you think we're lame
Since you saw the show last night
You hoped that we would rock
And knock it up a notch
Rockin' was nowhere in sight

And it's never good when it goes bad
No one likes to feel like they've been had
And it may be okay
But you won't wear our t-shirts now
Not anymore

First the band looked wired
Then the band looked tired
Sluggish and a little slow
He's walking through the set
As drunk as he could get
And what the hell was wrong with Joe?

And you could tell the crowd was fading fast
Every song we played looser than the last
And it may be okay
But you won't wear our t-shirts now

All the kids, they hold a grudge
Their minds are logged on to the net and
All the kids, they hold a grudge
You fail them and they won't forget it
All the kids are tired and turn away
They saw what you did
You're all wrong and all the kids are right

You heard that we were great
But now you know we're lame
Since you saw the show last night
You hoped that we would rock
And wished that we'd just stop
And finally we said goodnight

When we had returned for the encore
You and half the room had headed for the door
No one wanted more

All the kids, they hold a grudge
Their minds are logged on to the net and
All the kids, they hold a grudge
You fail them and they won't forget it
All the kids, they're tired and turn away
All the kids they hold a grudge
Their minds are logged on to the net and
All the kids they hold a grudge
You fail them and they won't forget it
All your cred won't save you from the kids
They saw what you did
You're all wrong and all the kids are right

(No lyrics available)


6. EDDIE VEDDER

Quarters on the eyes
Rejected Sacrifice
Cauterized at best
Failing your litmus test
I know it's dumb to say
But turnabout's fair play
Always knew that you
Were suffering a fool

You go ahead - as good as dead

Okay - I understand
But I don't want to be your friend
I don't need another friend
I've got too many friends
If I was Eddie Vedder
Would you like me any better?
That's it - I quit - I don't give a shit

You go ahead - as good as dead
Coming to a head
You're as good as dead


7. MAYONNAISE AND MALAISE (RADIO EDIT)

Writing what you say and saying it all back to you
Mayonnaise and Malaise to go
The catcher in the rye caught a catch 22
Keep it at a pace - My life is like a crawl to me
Catatonic face - I'm marking time randomly
Mayonnaise and Malaise to go

Dull and null and void and all my best instincts stink
They pay me by the hour and I don't even have to think
Charismatic bore and I don't want to work no more
I'm gonna kill the next customer who walks in the door
Mayonnaise and Malaise to go

It's really something to be twenty-nothing
I feel my place is so secure
A culture spot that I have got
So glad to be unsure
We've passed our prime in record time
I never thought we'd fall so low
We've come this far to sell your cars
I want all my unease to go

It's really something, to be twenty-nothing
I feel my place is so secure
A culture spot that I have got
So glad to be unsure
I've come to resent what I represent
I'd like to smack that smile off your face
But for my angst I must say thanks
So good to be put in my place

Mayonnaise and Malaise to go

Punk Rock Car


8. ALL-RIGHT (OH, YEAH)

All-right,
Oh yeah all-right,
Oh yeah all-right,
Oh yeah

Here we go,
I'm back again
Act surprised when i come in
It's only me it's only stupid me
You could never figure out
What was all the fuss about
I know its me it's only stupid me
It's only stupid me

All-right,
Oh yeah all-right,
Oh yeah all-right,
Oh yeah

Sickle-cell anemia
Carpal tunnel and bulimia
Don't get sick it's only stupid me
You think you got the real deal
Damaged goods are such a steal
It serves you right, its only stupid me
Its only stupid me
All-right

All-right,
Oh yeah
All-right,
Oh yeah
All-right,
Oh yeah
All-right

I see you coming round again!
Push aside and muscle in
When everything is said and done its me
It's only stupid me

All-right,
Oh yeah
All-right,
Oh yeah
All-right,


9. FRITZ'S CORNER

I'm not mad
I'm just bored
And everything I do is only because
There's nothing much else for me to do
And that includes you (x2)

Messing around with you (x3)

Piss away potential
Everyday is a waste
And I'm wasted everyday
There's nothing much else for me to do
And that includes you (x2)

Messing around with you (x3)

You see me now a little bit clearer
The face I make when I'm looking in the mirror
It gives me away, the things that I say

You think you know where I'm coming from
The words I say when I'm playing dumb
It gives me away (x4)

One more thing before we go
I've stepped over everyone I know
Everyone I know (x2)

You see me now a little bit clearer
The face I make when I'm looking in the mirror
It gives me away, the things that I say, it gives me away

You think you know where I'm coming from
The words I say when I'm playing dumb
It gives me away (x3)
I'm always ashamed

I'm always ashamed,


10. SMOTHERED IN HUGS

In the summer that you came
There was something eating everyone
And the sunshine fund was low
We couldn't greet you
With a simple hello

And the watchers of the flood
Were busy in their chambers
Making sure there was new blood
To sustain their dying veins

But i believed you
No need for further questioning
I'm gonna leave with you
You can teach me all you know
Which way will we go now
On our trip to taller windows
I really don't know now
I really don't know

In the winter that you left
There was business as usual
With the same old fears and frustrations
But the word got out
It was really such a pity

But the judges and the saints
And the textbook committee
Decided you should be left out
Not even mentioned

But i believed you
No need for further questioning
I'm gonna leave with you
You can teach me all you know
Which way will we go now
On our trip to taller windows
I really don't know now
I really don't know


11. COOL MAGNET

Standing at the edge of something
Where discussions are like concussions
Whisper in my ear
Cigarettes and beer
They don't call me cool for nothing
Too cool for school
Nobody's fool
Screw all the rules
My mind's abused
Not quite amused
I'm just confused
Yeah
Comes so easily
When everything you want is suspect
Attracted to the cool magnet
Only adding to the confusion
Dillusions are like illusions
I haven't got the heart to tell them all apart
I think i might need a transfusion
Too cool for that
A cataract
A triple sec
Don't get upset
We're to exact
Forget the facts
Yeah
Comes so easily
When everything you want is suspect
Attracted to the cool magnet


12. BACK IN THE DAY

Well, punk is dead
And, yeah, you're next
But it seems no one has told you yet
So hardcore
You must be sore
You come on like a major threat
Face...I know you like it hard 'n' straight
Face...Think I'll hang around and wait
Hey, old school...yeah, you were cool
But that was back in the day
Yeah, that was back in the day
Well, take a bow
Harder than thou
You scream "Guilty" like a Judge on high
Well, beat them back
The new jacks
More than music it's a way of life
