1. Never Again


Heīs drunk again, itīs time to fight
She must have done something wrong tonight
The living room becomes a boxing ring
Itīs time to run when you see him
Clenching his hands
Sheīs just a woman
Never Again

I hear a scream, from down the hall
Amazing she can even talk at all
She cries to me, Go back to bed
Iīm terrified, Sheīll wind up Dead
In his hands, Sheīs just a woman
Never Again

Been there before, but not like this
Seen it before, but not like this
Never before have I have
Seen him this bad
Sheīs just a woman
Never Again

Just tell the nurse, you slipped and fell
It starts to sting as it starts to swell
She looks at you, she wants the truth
Itīs right out there in the waiting room
With those hands
Lookin just as sweet as he can
Never Again

Seen it before, but not like this
Been there before, but not like this
Never before have I have
Seen him this bad
Sheīs just a woman
Never Again

Fatherīs a name you havenīt earned yet
Youīre just a child with a temper
Havenīt you heard "Donīt hit a lady"?
Kickinī your ass would be a pleasure

Heīs drunk again, itīs time to fight
Same old shit, just on a different night
She grabs the gun, sheīs had enough
Tonight sheīll find out how fucking
Tough is this man
Pulls the trigger just as fast as she can
Never Again

Seen it before, but not like this
Been there before, but not like this
Never before have I have
Seen him this bad
Sheīs just a woman
Never Again



2. How You Remind Me


Never made it as a wise man
I couldnīt cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
Iīm sick inside without a sense of feeling

And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me of what I really am
This is how you remind me of what I really am

Itīs not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time Iīm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
Iīve been wrong, Iīve been down
But youīre the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream, "Are we having fun yet?"

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no no

Itīs not like you didnīt know that
I said I love you and I swear I still do
And it must have been so bad
Cause living with him must have damn near killed you

And this is how you remind me of what I really am
This is how you remind me of what I really am

Itīs not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time Iīm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
Iīve been wrong, Iīve been down
But youīre the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream, "Are we having fun yet?"

Yeah, yeah, yeah, no no

Never made it as a wise man
I couldnīt cut it as a poor man stealing

And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
This is how you remind me of what I really am

Itīs not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time Iīm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
Iīve been wrong, Iīve been down
But youīre the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream, "Are we having fun yet?"

Yeah, yeah
Are we having fun yet?
Yeah, yeah
Are we having fun yet?
Yeah, yeah
Are we having fun yet?
Yeah, yeah



3. Woke Up This Morning


I paid my last respects this morninī on an early grave
Already said goodbye, nothin left to say
A tiny church a tiny town and not a tear was spent
Not how I wanted it, Iīm hating all of this

Well Iīm hating, all of this
Iīm hating, all of this
All of this, all of this
Now I know why, I hide my love from you somedays
No I donīt mind keeping this bottled inside me
You came along, and tore this world out around me
Looks like you found me
Now I know why
I felt like shit when I woke up this morning

Iīve been a loser all my life, Iīm not about to change
If you donīt like, thereīs the door, nobody made you stay
There ainīt a woman on the planet who can deal with it
Just how I wanted it, Iīm hating all of this

Well Iīm hating, all of this
Iīm hating, all of this
All of this, all of this
Now I know why, I hide my love from you somedays
No I donīt mind keeping this bottled inside me
You came along, and tore this world out around me
Looks like you found me
Now I know why
I felt like shit when I woke up this morning

All of this, All of this
Now I know why, I hide my love from you somedays
No I donīt mind keeping this bottled inside me
You came along, and tore this world out around me
Looks like you found me
Now I know why
I felt like shit when I woke up this morning



4. Too Bad


Mothers hands were lined with dirt
From long days in the field
And mothers hands are serving meals
In a cafe on this street
With mouths to feed
Just trying to keep clothing on our backs
And all I hear about is
How itīs so bad, itīs so bad

Itīs too bad, itīs too bad
Too late, so wrong, so long
Itīs too bad that we had no time to rewind
Letīs walk, letīs talk
Letīs talk

You left without saying goodbye
Although Iīm sure you tried
You call and ask from time to time
To make sure weīre alive
But you werenīt there
Right when Iīm needing you the most
And now I dream about it
How itīs so bad, itīs so bad

Itīs too bad, itīs too bad
Too late, so wrong, so long
Itīs too bad that we had no time to rewind
Letīs walk, letīs talk
Letīs talk

Fatherīs hands are lined with guilt
For tearing us apart
Guess it turned out in the end
Just look at where we are
Made it up, still got clothing on our backs
And now I scream about it
How itīs so bad, itīs so bad

Itīs too bad, itīs too bad
Too late, so wrong, so long
Itīs too bad that we had no time to rewind
Letīs walk, letīs talk
Letīs talk

No time, last one, letīs go



5. Just For


I want take his eyes out
Just for looking at you
Yes I do
I want to take his hands off
Just for touching you
Yes I do

And I want to rip his heart out
Just for hurting you
And I want to break his mind down
Yes I do

And I want to make him
Regret life since the day he met you
Yes I do
And I want to make him
Take back all that he took from you
Yes I do

And I want to rip his heart out
Just for hurting you
And I want to break his mind down
Yes I do



6. Hollywood


Please donīt be too long while youīre gone
There ainīt enough to keep me here too long
Not like the last time I stood in line
Just enough to keep me bouncing off the wall, yeah

The new day, the new tray that comes around
Pills and all, enough to kill him while he sleeps
Is this the alley we dragged him to
Just off of Hollywood and Normandy

It didnīt work like she said it would
Just like livin in Hollywood
Just like a bad dream, or so it seems
Just like Iīm back in emergency

Please donīt be too long while youīre gone
There ainīt enough to keep me here too long
Not like the last time I stood in line
Just enough to keep me bouncing off the wall, yeah

It didnīt work like she said it would
Just like livin in Hollywood
Just like a bad dream, or so it seems
Just like Iīm back in emergency



7. Money Bought


Ever statement with her mouth she could tie in a knot
Favourite trick she does, One in ten that sheīs got
Making friends, setting trends, hardly having to try
All the looks, by the book, best that money can buy

Look what your money bought
Itīs all that sheīs got
It keeps her company
Straight from Mom and Daddy

Last chance to dance, Iīll be back at the bar
Shakinī hands, nice to meet you, I donīt know who you are
She has a toke and makes a joke about the alley man
Never pleasured from the treasure in a garbage can

Look what your money bought
Itīs all that sheīs got
It keeps her company
Straight from Mom and Daddy

Ever statement with her mouth she could tie in a knot
Favourite trick she does, One in ten that sheīs got
Making friends, setting trends, hardly having to try
All the looks, by the book, best that money can buy



8. Where Do I Hide


Got a criminal record, I canīt cross state lines
First on the bad list, and youīre last on mine
Lookin for a scapegoat, long past due
Walking down the aisle, still straining you

Still hear you screaming where do I hide?
All he asks, I said hurry inside

He said, she said, No she donīt
Be back before morning, You know she wonīt
I remember that summer, like yesterday
And I remember his mother, As he was dragged away

I Still hear him screaming Where do I hide?
All he asks, I say hurry inside
A whole lot of memory
Yours and not mine
All he asks, I said hurry inside

Got a criminal record, I canīt cross state lines
First on the bad list, and youīre last on mine
Lookin for a scapegoat, long past due
Walking down the aisle, still straining you

Still hear you screaming Where do I hide?
All he asks, I say hurry inside
A whole lot of memory
Yours and not mine
All he asks, I said hurry inside
Where do I hide?



9. Hangnail


My hopes just fell, and I canīt see
The reason why, why there is blood on my sleeve
And all this time, I thought it mine
But itīs not, itīs yours and

Itīs not worth it for me, gets harder every time call you
This life you lead, like swimming in a shiny ballroom
Next time you bleed, right about this time tomorrow
Next time you steal, better ask before you borrow

And I donīt see too well, donīt sing too well
And I settle to scream
Just grab your shit, and leave with it
They wonīt make no statues of you

Itīs not worth it for me, gets harder every time call you
This life you lead, like swimming in a shiny ballroom
Next time you bleed, right about this time tomorrow
Next time you steal, better ask before you borrow
This label "theif", find a better title suited for you
This tidal wave, is coming down upon you

This time Iīve forgotten
I swear this shit was rotten
This time, I believe it
Cause Iīve seen the shit youīre needin

Itīs not worth it for me, gets harder every time call you
This life you lead, like swimming in a shiny ballroom
Next time you bleed, right about this time tomorrow
Next time you steal, better ask before you borrow
This label "theif", find a better title suited for you
This tidal wave, is coming down upon you



10. Good Times Gone


Lost it on the chesterfield
Or maybe on a gamblin wheel
Lost it in a diamond mine
Itīs dark as hell and hard to find
You can climb to the top of the highest tree
You can look around, but you still wonīt see
What Iīm lookin for

Where the good times gone?
Where the good time go?
All the stupid fun
And all that shit weīve done
Where the good times gone?
Well I still donīt know

Out in the back in the old corn field
Underneath the tractor wheel
Thought Iīd dig, til Iīd find it first
Rolled on my back and died of thirst
You can bribe the devil, you can pray to god
You can still off everything you got
And you still wonīt know

Where the good times gone?
Where the good time go?
All the stupid fun
And all that shit weīve done
Where the good times gone?
And you still donīt know

Saw it on the silver screen
Preacher says, donīt know what it means
Last page down in a comic book
Bought me a map, showed me where to look
Carved of stone or made of wood
And if you paper it, then itīs still no good
And you still wonīt know
What Iīm looking for

Where the good times gone?
Where the good time go?
All the stupid fun
And all that shit weīve done
Where the good times gone?
