Meaning of life 

On the way 
Trying to get where I'd like to say 
I'm always feeling steered away 
By someone trying to tell me 
What to say and do 
I don't want it 
I gotta go find my own way 
I gotta go make my own mistakes 
Sorry man for feeling 
Feeling the way I do 
On yeah, Oh yeah 
Open wide and they'll shove in 
Their meaning of life 
Oh yeah, Oh yeah 
But not for me I'll do it on my own 
Oh yeah, Oh yeah 
Open wide and swallow their meaning of life 
I can't make it work your way 
Thanks but no thanks 
By the way 
I know your path has been tried and so 
It may seem like the way to go 
Me, I'd rather be found 
Trying something new 
And the bottom line 
In all of this seems to say 
There's no right and wrong way 
Sorry if I don't feel like 
Living the way you do

Mota

Mota! 
Everyday, well it's the same 
That bong that's on the table starts to call 
My name 
I take a hit and zone out again 
I'll be paranoid and hungry by a quarter to ten 
Watching reruns on my TV 
I'm laughing off my ass at Three's Company 
I don't know if I'm understood 
Buy hearing Jimmy Buffett never sounded so good 
Your memory's gone and so is your life (your life) 
Mota Boy 
But losing out just never felt so right 
Your enemy's you and so is your life (your life) 
Mota Boy 
But losing out might feel okay all night 
Mota! 
I'm driving down to the barrio 
Going 15 miles an hour cause I'm already stoned 
Give the guy a twenty and wait in the car 
He tosses me a baggie then he runs real far 
I take a hit but it smells like a clove 
Oh fuck I got a baggie of oregano 
This ritual is destroying me 
But I guess it could be worse 
It could be methedrine 
Your memory's gone and so is your life (your life) 
Mota Boy 
But losing out just never felt so right 
Your enemy's you and your couch is your life 
(Your Life) 
Mota Boy 
But losing out might take 
Losing out might take you all night 
Mota! 
Losing out might feel okay all night 
Yeah losing out might feel okay all life 

Me and my old lady

Me and my old lady 
Lay in bed all day 
And when I say I love her 
Well she rolls the other way 
But really she don't mean it 
Everything she says 
Still if I believe in love 
There's nothing wrong 
There's nothing wrong with my head 
Me and my old lady 
Sit and sip on wine 
And when she says she loves me 
Will I say that love is blind 
But really I don't mean it 
Everything I say 
Still if she believes in love 
There's nothing wrong 
There's nothing wrong with her head 
So what if we're making a scene now 
You know she don't give a shit 
When she's pawin' and grabbin' on me now 
You know I don't mind a bit 
It's all good and we 
Ain't gonna change now 
The world is unaware 
So if you want to go on and stare 
Cause we don't care 
She ain't no ball and chain 
Me and my old lady 
Suck each other dry 
And when in that position 
I'm the luckiest man alive 
Quenching our libidos 
Passing time away 
Now that I believe in love 
There's nothing wrong 
There's nothing wrong with my head 

Cool to hate

I hate a lot of things 
I hate a lot of people that are lame 
I like to hate stuff 
Cause then I don't havae to try and make 
A change 
I hate teachers 
I hate school 
I hate the cheerleaders 
And anyone who's cool 
I hate the office 
I hate the Quad 
Don't wanna learn nothing 
I want to be a slob 
It's cool to hate 
It's cool to hate 
I don't like nothing and I like that fine 
(Liking something's just a waste of time) 
It's cool to hate 
It's cool to hate 
I don't like nothing and I like that fine 
(Liking something's just a waste of time) 
I don't like nothing and like that fine 
(Liking something's just a waste of time) 
Yeah I hate everything 
I even hate you too 
So fuck you 
I'm always thinking bad 
I never have nothing good to say 
I'd rather tear things down 
Than build them up 
It's easier that way 
I hate the jocks 
And I hate the geeks 
I hate the trendies 
But I also hate the freaks 
I hate Dr. Martens 
And Muscle T's 
I'm only happy when I'm in my misery 
I'll cut you down and give you lip 
Being positive's so unhip 
I'll cut you down cause I'm a fool 
Being positive's so uncool 
I hate the jocks 
Annd I hate the geeks 
I hate the trendies 
But I also hate the freaks 
I hate your band 
And I hate TV 
I'm only happy when I'm in my misery  

Leave it behind

Rage burns can't push it aside now 
Can't forgive this grudge is alive now 
All the rage eats you up inside 
Can you leave it behind 
What a surprise -- 
You're fucked with again Yeah 
It's a way of life you need to get over 
All the rage just eats you alive 
Can you leave it behind 
I don't know where it'll end 
The sun has set 
And I can't be friends 
I don't know if I can forgive 
The day is long 
But you were so dead wrong  

Gone away

Maybe in another life 
I could find you there 
Pulled away before your time 
I can't deal it's so unfair 
And it feels 
And it feels like 
Heaven's so far away 
And it feels 
Yeah it feels like 
The world has grown cold 
Now that you've gone away 
Leaving flowers on your grave 
Show that I still care 
But black roses and Hail Mary's 
Can't bring back what's taken from me 
I reach to the sky 
And call out your name 
And if I could trade 
I would 
And it feels 
And it feels like 
Heaven's so far away 
And it stings 
Yeah it stings now 
The world is so cold 
Now that you've gone away  

I choose

Look at me I'm fallin' 
Off of a cliff now 
I can still hear my mama yelling No No No 
But the words mean nothing 
Can't catch up to me now 
And the view is so beautiful 
All the way down 
When I was a little boy 
Suckin' juice from a bottle 
Believing my perceptions were oh so real 
But I don't know nothing 
Still knowing nothing 
Was just enough for me to know the way I feel 
This is life 
What a fucked up thing we do 
What a nightmare come true 
Or a playground if we choose 
And I choose 
Look at me I'm swollen 
Like a banana fish now 
I'm never gonna make it out of my hole 
But I keep on laughing 
Doesn't really matter 
There's dozens of reasons for explaining my soul 
When I was a teenager 
Suckin' booze with the Vatos 
Discussing who was gonna live to be 21 
They said they wouldn't make it 
They didn't make it 
We're all naked when the day is said and done 
This is life 
What a fucked up thing we do 
What a nightmare come true 
Or a playground if we choose 
And I choose 
Don't know who made this all come true 
But now while you're here 
You just gotta do what you gotta do 
Now if I wasn't such a weenie 
Do you think you'd still love me 
Pretending I'm an airplane on the living 
Room floor 
But like a lovely generator 
You stand right by me 
And if words were wisdom I'd be talking 
Even more 
So I keep on falling 
As I'm looking back above me 
Watching as my mama just becomes a little dot 
Now I'm like DeNiro 
I'm amarillo 
And I'll never know when I hit the ground 

All I want

Day after day your home life's a wreck 
The powers that be just 
Breathe down your neck 
You get no respect 
You get no relief 
You gotta speak up 
And yell out your piece 
So back off your rules 
Back off your jive 
Cause I'm sick of not living 
To stay alive 
Leave me alone 
I'm not asking a lot 
I just don't want to be controlled 
That's all I want 
All I want 
How many times is it gonna take 
Till someone around you hears what you say 
You've tried being cool 
You feel like a lie 
You've played by their rules 
Now it's their turn to try 
So back off your rules 
Back off your jive 
Cause I'm sick of not living 
To stay alive 
Leave me alone 
I'm not asking a lot 
I just don't want to be controlled 
That's all I want 
All I want 
I said it before 
I'll say it again 
If you could just listen 
Then it might make sense 

Way down the line

Nothing changes cause it's all the same 
The world you get's the one you give away 
It all just happens again 
Way down the line 
There is a chain that's never broken 
You know the story it's sad but true 
An angry man gets drunk and beats his kids 
The same old way his drunken father did 
What comes around well it goes around 
Nothing changes cause it's all the same 
The world you get's the one you give away 
It all just happens again 
Way down the line 
At 17 Shannon is pregnant 
As young as her mom when she had her 
Her kid is never gonna have a dad 
The same old way that Shannon never had 
What comes around well it goes around 
Nothing changes cause it's all the same 
The world you get's the one you give away 
It all just happens again 
Way down the line 
And all the things you learn when you're a kid 
You'll fuck up just like your parents did 
It all just happens again 
Way down the line 
And welfare moms have kids on welfare 
And fat parents they have fat kids too 
You know it's never gonna end 
The same old cycle's gonna start again 
What comes around well it goes around 

Don't pick it up

I saw a little kid 
As he walked around 
He picked a candy bar up 
Off the ground 
He chowed about a half 
Then his face turned red 
Turned out that candy bar was doggy-doo 
Don't pick it up I say 
Unless you can throw it away 
Don't pick it up I say 
You're gonna be bummed that you went that way 
You're out there makin' bacon 
No scrutiny 
You mess around too much 
And you got VD 
You know you never think 
And you're sore today 
You're gonna take it back to California 
Don't pick it up I say 
Unless you can throw it away 
Don't pick it up I say 
You're gonna be bummed that you went that way 
My friend was kinda hurtin' 
For a girl to try 
He saw one that looked like Pat 
On Saturday Night Live 
It had a pair of thingies 
But a mustache too 
Not clearly male nor female 
So now what to do 
Don't pick it up I say 
Unless you can throw it away 
Don't pick it up I say 
You're gonna be bummed that you went that way 

Amazed

Sometimes I think I'm gonna drown 
Cause everyone around's so hollow 
I'm alone 
Sometimes I think I'm going down 
But no one makes a sound 
They follow 
And I'm alone 
Yeah if I make it I'd be amazed 
Just to find tomorrow 
One more day and I'd be amazed 
Just to see it waiting 
And if I make it I'm still alone 
No more hope for better days 
But if I could change 
Then I'd really be amazed 
And when you know you can't relate 
To one more shiny face 
Your heart breaks 
No one cares 
And when you know you can't go on 
Cause everything is wrong 
Your heart breaks 
But no one's there 

Change the world

I see the way the salesmen stare into the sun 
I stood and watched them as they fell off one by one 
And everyone's so blind 
They're not to help mankind 
Reach into your bag of tricks and pull another one 
You don't want to change the world 
Like you say 
You're in it for yourself 
No one else 
You're ready 
Saving yourself 
You're gonna change the world 
You're ready 
Saving yourself 
You're gonna change the world 
Now when the day is set they'll line up all the same 
And those that need the most will never get or gain 
The ones you call your friends 
Are failing you again 
Reach into your bag of tricks and make it go away 
You don't want to change the world 
Like you say 
You're in it for yourself 
No one else 
You're ready 
Saving yourself 
You're gonna change the world 
You're ready 
Saving yourself 
You're gonna change the world 
And since you ain't what you say 
Then just go away 
Cause some don't lie 
Some don't lie 
Go on now they won't tell 
Go on now and save yourse
