2. The Meaning of Life
On the way, trying to get where Iīd like to say
Iīm always feeling steered away by someone trying to tell me
What to say and do, I donīt 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 theyīll show you their meaning of life
Oh yeah, oh yeah, but not for me Iīll do it on my own
Oh yeah, oh yeah, open wide and swallow their meaning of life
I canīt 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, Iīd rather be found trying something new
And the bottom line in all of this seems to say
Thereīs no right and wrong way
Sorry if I donīt feel like living the way you do
On yeah, oh yeah, open wide and theyīll show you their meaning of life
Oh yeah, oh yeah, but not for me Iīll do it on my own
Oh yeah, oh yeah, open wide and swallow their meaning of life
I canīt make it work your way, thanks but no thanks
On yeah, oh yeah, open wide and theyīll show you their meaning of life
Oh yeah, oh yeah, but not for me Iīll do it on my own
Oh yeah, oh yeah, open wide and swallow their meaning of life
I canīt make it work your way, thanks but no thanks
3. Mota
Mota
Everyday, well itīs the same
That bong thatīs on the table starts to call my name
I take a hit and zone out again
Iīll be paranoid and hungry by a quarter to ten
Watching reruns on my TV, Iīm laughing off my ass at Threeīs Company
I donīt know if Iīm understood
Buy hearing Jimmy Buffett never sounded so good
Your memoryīs gone and so is your life your life
Mota Boy, but losing out just never felt so right
Your enemyīs you and so is your life your life
Mota Boy, but losing out might feel okay all night
Mota
Iīm driving down to the barrio
Going 15 miles an hour cause Iīm 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 memoryīs gone and so is your life your life
Mota Boy, but losing out just never felt so right
Your enemyīs you and your couch is your life your life
Mota Boy, but losing out might take, losing out might take you all night
Mota
Your memoryīs gone and so is your life your life
Mota Boy, but losing out just never felt so right
Your enemyīs you and this is your life your life
Mota Boy, but losing out just never felt so right
Your memoryīs gone and so is your life your life
Mota Boy, but losing out just never felt so right
Your enemyīs you and this is your life your life
Mota Boy, but losing out might feel okay all night
Losing out might feel okay all night
4. Me & 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 donīt mean it, everything she says
Still if I believe in love, thereīs nothing wrong
Thereīs 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 donīt mean it, everything I say
Still if she believes in love, thereīs nothing wrong
Thereīs nothing wrong with her head
So what if weīre making a scene now, you know she donīt give a shit
When sheīs pawinī and grabbinī on me now, you know I donīt mind a bit
Itīs all good and we ainīt gonna change now, the world is unaware
So if you want to go on and stare, cause we donīt care
We donīt care
She ainīt no ball and chain, she ainīt no ball and chain
She ainīt no ball and chain, she ainīt no ball and chain
She ainīt no ball and chain, she ainīt no ball and chain
Me and my old lady suck each other dry
And when in that position Iīm the luckiest man alive
Quenching our libidos, passing time away
Now that we believe in love, thereīs nothing wrong
Thereīs nothing wrong with my head
So what if Iīm making a scene now, you know she donīt give a shit
When sheīs pawinī and grabbinī on me now, you know I donīt mind a bit
Itīs all good and we ainīt gonna change now, the world is unaware
So if you want to go on and stare, cause we donīt care
We donīt care
She ainīt no ball and chain, she ainīt no ball and chain
She ainīt no ball and chain, she ainīt no ball and chain
She ainīt no ball and chain, she ainīt no ball and chain
5. 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 donīt have to try and make a change
I hate the teacher, I hate school
I hate the cheerleaders and anyone whoīs cool
I hate the office, I hate the Quad
Donīt wanna learn nothing, I want to be a slob
Itīs cool to hate, itīs cool to hate
Donīt like nothing and I like that fine
Itīs cool to hate, Itīs cool to hate
I donīt like nothing and I like that fine
I donīt like nothing and like that fine
Yeah, I hate everything I even hate you too, so fuck you
Iīm always thinking bad, I never have nothing good to say
Iīd rather tear things down than build them up, itīs 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 Tīs
Iīm only happy when Iīm in my misery
Itīs cool to hate, itīs cool to hate
Lifeīs misery is just a waste of time
Itīs cool to hate, itīs cool to hate
Lifeīs misery is just a waste of time
Lifeīs misery is just a waste of time
Yeah, I hate everything I even hate you too, so fuck you
Itīs cool to hate, itīs cool to hate
Itīs cool to hate, itīs cool to hate
Iīll cut you down and give you lip, being positiveīs so unhip
Iīll cut you down cause Iīm a fool, being positiveīs so uncool
Being positiveīs so uncool, being positiveīs so uncool
I hate the jocks and I hate the geeks
I hate the trendies, but I also hate the freaks
I hate your band and I hate TV
Iīm only happy when Iīm in my misery
Itīs cool to hate, itīs cool to hate
Donīt like nothing and I like that fine
Itīs cool to hate, Itīs cool to hate
I donīt like nothing and I like that fine
I donīt like nothing and like that fine
Yeah, I hate everything I even hate you too, so fuck you
6. Leave it Behind
age burns canīt push it aside now
Canīt forgive this grudge is alive now
All the rage eats you up inside
Can you leave it behind, leave it behind
What a surprise, youīre fucked with again, yeah
Itīs a way of life you need to get over
All the rage just eats you alive
Can you leave it behind, leave it behind
I donīt know where itīll end
The sun has set and I canīt be friends
I donīt know if I can forgive
The day is long but you were so dead wrong
What a surprise, youīre fucked with again, yeah
Itīs a way of life you need to get over
All the rage just eats you alive
Can you leave it behind, leave it behind
I donīt know where itīll end
The sun has set and I canīt be friends
I donīt know if I can forgive
The day is long but you were so dead wrong
I donīt know where itīll end
The sun has set and I canīt be friends
I donīt know if I can forgive
The day is long but you were so dead wrong
7. Gone Away
Maybe in another life, I could find you there
Pulled away before your time, I canīt deal itīs so unfair
And it feels and it feels like heavenīs so far away
And it feels, yeah it feels like the world has grown cold
Now that youīve gone away
Leaving flowers on your grave show that I still care
But black roses and Hail Maryīs canīt bring back whatīs 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 heavenīs so far away
And it stings, yeah it stings now the world is so cold
Now that youīve gone away, gone away, gone away
I reach to the sky and call out your name
And if I could trade I would
And it feels and it feels like heavenīs so far away
And it feels, yeah it feels like the world has grown cold
Now that youīve gone away, gone away, gone away
8. I Choose
Look at me Iīm fallinī off of a cliff now
I can still hear my mama yelling, no, no, no
But the words mean nothing canīt catch up to me now
And the view is so beautiful all the way down
When I was a little boy suckinī juice from a bottle
Believing my perceptions were oh so real
But I donīt 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 Iīm swollen like a banana fish now
Iīm never gonna make it out of my hole
But I keep on laughing, doesnīt really matter
Thereīs dozens of reasons for explaining my soul
When I was a teenager suckinī booze with the Vatos
Discussing who was gonna live to be 21
They said they wouldnīt make it, they didnīt make it
Weīre 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
Donīt know who made this all come true
But now while youīre here, you just gotta do what you gotta do
Now if I wasnīt such a weenie do you think youīd still love me
Pretending Iīm an airplane on the living room floor
But like a lovely generator you stand right by me
And if words were wisdom Iīd be talking even more
So I keep on falling as Iīm looking back above me
Watching as my mama just becomes a little dot
Now Iīm like DeNiro, Iīm amarillo
And Iīll never know when I hit the ground
This is life, what a fucked up thing we do
What a nightmare come true or a playground if we choose
And I choose, yeah, choose, I choose
9. Intermission
Yeah, intermission
Ahh, ahh
10. All I Want
Day after day your home lifeīs 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 Iīm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, Iīm not asking a lot
I just donīt want to be controlled
Thatīs all I want, thatīs all I want
Thatīs all I want, thatīs all I want
How many times is it gonna take
Till someone around you hears what you say
Youīve tried being cool, you feel like a lie
Youīve played by their rules, mow itīs their turn to try
So back off your rules, back off your jive
Cause Iīm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, Iīm not asking a lot
I just donīt want to be controlled
Thatīs all I want, thatīs all I want
Thatīs all I want, thatīs all I want
I said it before, Iīll say it again
If you could just listen then it might make sense
So back off your rules, back off your jive
Cause Iīm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, Iīm not asking a lot
I just donīt want to be controlled
Thatīs all I want, thatīs all I want
Thatīs all I want, thatīs all I want
11. Way Down the Line
Nothing changes cause itīs all the same
The world you getīs the one you give away
It all just happens again way down the line
There is a chain thatīs never broken
You know the story itīs 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 itīs all the same
The world you getīs the one you give away
It all just happens again way down the line
At seventeen 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 itīs all the same
The world you getīs the one you give away
It all just happens again way down the line
And all the things you learn when youīre a kid
Youīll 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 itīs never gonna end
The same old cycleīs gonna start again
What comes around well it goes around
Nothing changes cause itīs all the same
The world you getīs the one you give away
It all just happens again way down the line
And all the things you learn when youīre a kid
Youīll fuck up just like your parents did
It all just happens again way down the line
12. Donīt 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 blue
Turned out that candy bar was doggy-doo
Donīt pick it up I say, unless you can throw it away
Donīt pick it up I say, youīre gonna be bummed that you went that way
Youīre out there makinī bacon, no scrutiny
You mess around too much and you got VD
You know you never think and youīre sore today
Youīre gonna take it back to California
Donīt pick it up I say, unless you can throw it away
Donīt pick it up I say, youīre gonna be bummed that you went that way
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
My friend was kinda hurtinī 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
Donīt pick it up I say, unless you can throw it away
Donīt pick it up I say, youīre gonna be bummed that you went that way
13. Amazed
Sometimes I think Iīm gonna drown cause everyone aroundīs so hollow
Iīm alone
Sometimes I think Iīm going down but no one makes a sound
They follow and Iīm alone
Yeah if I make it Iīd be amazed just to find tomorrow
One more day and Iīd be amazed just to see it waiting
And if I make it Iīm still alone, no more hope for better days
But if I could change then Iīd really be amazed
And when you know you canīt relate to one more shiny face
Your heart breaks, no one cares
And when you know you canīt go on cause everything is wrong
Your heart breaks, but no oneīs there
Yeah if I make it Iīd be amazed just to find tomorrow
One more day and Iīd be amazed just to see it waiting
And if I make it Iīm still alone, no more hope for better days
But if I could change then Iīd really be amazed
Yeah if I make it Iīd be amazed just to find tomorrow
One more day and Iīd be amazed just to see it waiting
And if I make it Iīm still alone, no more hope for better days
But if I could change then Iīd really be amazed
14. 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 everyoneīs so blind, theyīre not to help mankind
Reach into your bag of tricks and pull another one
You donīt want to change the world like you say
Youīre in it for yourself, no one else
Youīre ready saving yourself, youīre gonna change the world
Youīre ready saving yourself, youīre gonna change the world
Now when the day is set theyīll line up all the same
No one to call your friends, Iīm .. you again
Reach into your bag of tricks and make it go away
You donīt want to change the world like you say
Youīre in it for yourself, no one else
Youīre ready saving yourself, youīre gonna change the world
Youīre ready saving yourself, youīre gonna change the world
As thatīs what you want what you say
As thatīs what you want what you say
So donīt lie, so donīt lie
Go one now, save yourself, go one now, save yourself
Go one now, save yourself, go one now, save yourself
You donīt want to change the world like you say
Youīre in it for yourself, no one else
Youīre ready saving yourself, youīre gonna change the world
As thatīs what you want what you say, just go away
So donīt lie, so donīt lie
