Between Us 02:09
My friend, you’ve been to hell and back How I wish I could’ve comforted you Way more than I did I often wonder Could I have helped prevent…? Please remember I’m still here I’ve been here all this time Why did you have to go and Blame this thing on us?! Don’t let this thing Come between us now Let the chips fall where they may Don’t let this thing Come between us Why don’t you let it go Why did you have to go and Blame this thing on us?! Don’t let this thing Come between us now Let the chips fall where they may Don’t let this thing Come between us Why don’t you let it…

There’s a method to our madness But we can take hit We’ll build castles in the sky Just let us deal with it I know we’ll never make it To the punk rock hall of fame But who cares? We’re in this for the love of the game! Let’s up the ante and make this work We are cutting corners, we’re on high alert (We’re on high alert) I am the salt of the earth when I say that it might be Right back to the drawing board At the drop of a hat, you see So what? Get back on our feet again Just let the dust settle We won’t ever back down Put the pedal to the medal Let’s up the ante and make this work We are cutting corners, we’re on high alert We’ll be relentless, constantly Facing the music will set us free You’ll set us free… Let’s up the ante and make this work We are cutting corners, we’re on high alert We’ll be relentless, constantly Facing the music will set us free

No Regrets 02:27
They all say we’re nuts For making choices that don’t comply With what seems to be the norm And that is why we consider being who we are To be a real life art form I don’t think you do realise this But there’s no one I would rather waste my time with So now, hear me out ‘Cause I might give up from time to time Oh, but you, I’ll never quit Building our dream Him and her, the perfect team Just us on our crazy adventure Noses pointed in the same direction Ever since the day we met We will take on anyone who defies us Our tattoos spell “No Ragrets” Noses pointed in the same direction You will always have my heart We will take on anyone who defies us Till we’ll both be old farts Building our dream Him and her, the perfect team Just us on our crazy adventure Noses pointed in the same direction Ever since the day we met We will take on anyone who defies us Our tattoos spell “No Ragrets” Noses pointed in the same direction You will always have my heart We will take on anyone who defies us Till we’ll both be old farts They all say we’re nuts! Just us on our crazy adventure for life!

1978 01:58
That night at the party, a ’78 Saturday She got stood up again, but the bullet ricocheted So singing wildly, she danced the night away Never thinking clearly, in a state of disarray He musters up the courage to ask her to dance But the music’s way too loud So she misunderstands She kisses him and right there they know This is it I will never let you go I will never let you go That same night at the party, he will never forget The moment he laid eyes on her This easy swaying silhouette He musters up the courage to ask her to dance But the music’s way too loud So she misunderstands She kisses him and right there they know This is it I will never let you go I will never let you go 40 years of being unafraid 40 years now as of late 40 years… 40 years of being unafraid 40 years now as of late 40 years… since 1978! He musters up the courage to ask her to dance But the music’s way too loud So she misunderstands She kisses him and right there they know This is it I will never let you go I will never let you go

I don’t know what your life is like I don’t know where you grew up, so Why should I judge you by the things you say? I don’t get why you are this angry And why you find it so damn hard to Just be happy for anyone Who doesn’t see it your way I just wanted you to see I just wanted you to see I just wanted you to see The difference between you and me I just wanna set you free I just wanna set you free I just wanna set you free ‘Cause your reality is make-believe You don’t know what my life is like You don’t know where I grew up, so Why should you claim to be anything but subjective? You don’t get why I believe in Equal rights for everyone Oh my God, are you for real? Dude, it’s all about perspectives I just wanted you to see I just wanted you to see I just wanted you to see The difference between you and me I just wanna set you free I just wanna set you free I just wanna set you free ‘Cause your reality is make-believe Your reality is make-believe I just wanted you to see I just wanted you to see I just wanted you to see The difference between you and me I just wanna set you free I just wanna set you free I just wanna set you free ‘Cause your reality is make-believe

I feel so sorry for everyone who can’t accept That we’re all different Have you no mercy? All those of you too blind to see Diversity is just what makes us strong I feel so sorry, I really do I feel so sorry for you We’re all equal, but some of us Are more equal than the others Seems like we’re headed for Orwellian times We’re all equal, but some of us Are more equal than the others To this dystopia we will not be confined We’ll stand united to prove that There should be No such thing as bigotry We’ll make you see Small-mindedness will not prevail Yet tolerance is indestructible I feel so sorry, I really do I feel so sorry for you We’re all equal, but some of us Are more equal than the others Seems like we’re headed for Orwellian times We’re all equal, but some of us Are more equal than the others To this dystopia we will not be confined We’re all equal, but some of us Are more equal than the others We’re all equal, but some of us Are more equal than the others

Oblivion 03:13
Do you recall the day that we met, just strangers passing by? Listening to Less Than Jake, yeah, we were so surprised To have found each other right then and there We were going nowhere And so we found ourselves amidst a sea Of teenage angst and epic love stories We put them all to good use Becoming who we were to be We’d fly onto tomorrow Only looking up No matter what, we all knew It was just us Little did we know That it would be this tough To change the world for the better Lost in oblivion Like all good stories ours came to an end Though I really hope you’d still call me your friend We’ll run into each other (GAINESVILLE, ROCK CITY) We’ll share an understanding smile We’d fly onto tomorrow Only looking up No matter what, we all knew It was just us Little did we know That it would be this tough To change the world for the better Lost in oblivion

So, riddle me this If everything’s pure evil Then why can I feel love? If we don’t have a purpose Then why make life so tough? If nothing is worth fighting for Then should we just give up? Well, I for one refuse to drink From that half empty cup Hah, fuck me for being positive! So, riddle me this Riddle me this Is there something that I’ve missed? Riddle me this Riddle me this Well, congrats! You’ve made it on my pity list So, riddle me this You privileged son of a gun Are you entitled To comment on another This rude and unbridled? No, I am not here to change Your stubborn point of view But to be quite honest here I’d be happy if you do Hah, fuck me for being honest! So, riddle me this Riddle me this Is there something that I’ve missed? Riddle me this Riddle me this Well, congrats! You’ve made it on my pity list Riddle me this, riddle me this...

Late Bloomer 03:08
Hey, late bloomer It’s okay to wait a while Take a deep breath So you can make your soul smile Just you listen I need you to be strong You were always meant to sing I’m sure you’ll find your song It’s okay, late bloomer Truth is worth more when it takes you years to find It’s okay, late bloomer You’ve gotta learn how to fall If you ever wanna ride Hey, late bloomer Don’t you worry now Keep looking in the mirror Until you find yourself somehow Live in the moment You’ll find out who you are Remember that your imperfections Will make fine battle scars It’s okay, late bloomer Truth is worth more when it takes you years to find It’s okay, late bloomer You’ve gotta learn how to fall If you ever wanna ride You’ve gotta learn how to fall If you ever wanna ride Don’t you worry now Truth is worth more when it takes you years to find It’s okay, late bloomer You’ll find your way someday If you ever wanna ride…

Boy, there’s a war going on inside of you You can’t seem to figure out how to find a way To conquer your demons and to put the weapons down Aaahhhh aaahhhh aaahhhh Don’t lose yourself in everything It’s a long way down You don’t know what to expect Whatever happens next The armistice is now… Boy, you are doused in a life that’s filled with Reluctance A profound lack of trust Don’t lose yourself in everything It’s a long way down You don’t know what to expect Whatever happens next The armistice is now… You don’t know what to expect Whatever happens next The armistice is now… You don’t know what to expect Whatever happens next The armistice is now… You don’t know what to expect Whatever happens next The armistice is now…

Always staying after closing hours I swear, just one more round Always one more story worth telling Come collect me at the lost and founds I’ll just have one more Don’t show me the door Promise I’ll be on my way… Why do I forever bite off more than I can chew? Despite everyone’s constant warnings… Never listening to my own conscience Oh sure, I’ll get it done I can’t take no more Just drop to the floor Tell you I’m doing just fine Why do I forever bite off more than I can chew? Despite everyone’s constant warnings… Why do I feel like I’ve never done enough? On those black coffee mornings… Oh Hannah, just say no It’s really not that hard You need your sleep, don’t go Why do I forever bite off more than I can chew? Despite everyone’s constant warnings… Why do I feel like I’ve never done enough? On those black coffee mornings… Why do I forever bite off more than I can chew? Despite everyone’s constant warnings… Why do I feel like I’ve never done enough? On those black coffee mornings…

Articulate 01:59
Feeling like this scares the hell out of me You choose your words so damn carefully Each breath I take I fear I’ll fail While I’m over here Trying to exhale I’m so lost I don’t know what to do Even after a drink or two Don’t you get that I sure suck at Common chitchat Speech is combat Don’t interrupt, just hear me out Everybody knows that I’m articulate Everybody knows that I’m articulate I’m self-assured, you better deal with it Everybody knows that I’m articulate Don’t need to go to university To get a freakin’ language degree I’m confident You’ll take my hand And understand All words I’ve banned Come on, what did you expect of me?! What is it you want me to say?! Look into my eyes And you will find Just read the signs You’ll be surprised Everybody knows that I’m articulate Everybody knows that I’m articulate I’m self-assured, you better deal with it Everybody knows that I’m articulate

Die Hard 03:03
So here I am, sitting all alone In a dark corner of my room again It’s not that I chose to be right here It’s just that this is where I collapsed Don’t act like you get me It’s easy for you to say: “Don’t do more than what’s your part” It’s not that simple, mate It’s easy for you to say ‘Cause old habits die hard Minor breakdown, nothing to worry about I’ll get back up in an hour or so Don’t mind me, I’ll be here coalescing with the walls Just don’t ask me to do stuff, ‘cause I won’t Don’t act like you get me It’s easy for you to say: “Don’t do more than what’s your part” It’s not that simple, mate It’s easy for you to say ‘Cause old habits die hard I get up, as I do every day I am stressed, as I am every day I go to work, as I do every day It’s too much, as it is every day I feel fucked, as I do every day I’m okay I’m okay! Don’t act like you get me It’s easy for you to say: “Don’t do more than what’s your part” It’s not that simple, mate It’s easy for you to say ‘Cause old habits die hard
14.
Sitting here, in this godforsaken town Wondering ‘bout life and how I ended up here I am vexed… Close my eyes, to wake up to a new day Of finding out where this road will take me next In this very moment… Can I be anywhere but here? Why am I stuck behind the bars Of my own mind and now longing to break free From this empty shell? Close my eyes, vigorously wanting To go back to that Nowheresville motel In this very moment… Can I be anywhere but here? I swear to my heart I’ll imprint this memory Hold onto it, till I let go Until I let go… I swear to my heart I’ll imprint this memory Hold onto it, till I let go Until I let go… I want this to mean something Anything at all I want this to mean something Anything at all I want this to mean something Anything at all I want this to mean something Anything at all I swear to my heart I’ll imprint this memory Hold onto it, till I let go Until I let go… I swear to my heart I’ll imprint this memory Hold onto it, till I let go Until I let go… I swear to my heart I’ll imprint this memory Hold onto it, till I let go Until I let go… I swear to my heart I’ll imprint this memory Hold onto it, till I let go Until I let…

Obsolete 02:49
Acting all like “Man, that sounds good, you should be on the radio” All the while hiding your kids From that punk blasting through in stereo You would go to great lengths To prove we’ll grow up soon The hell with babies, savings, pension funds, No more drinking before noon They don’t wanna hear us They don’t wanna see us try We are rendered useless Obsolete and despised They don’t wanna hear us They don’t wanna see us rise We are rendered useless Obsolete in their eyes Well, I don’t care what you think I’m not fit for adulting Not into diapers, cleaning, spinning class Your judging look is insulting They don’t wanna hear us They don’t wanna see us try We are rendered useless Obsolete and despised They don’t wanna hear us They don’t wanna see us rise We are rendered useless Obsolete in their eyes We’re in this for life Being young is not a crime They don’t wanna hear us They don’t wanna see us try We are rendered useless Obsolete and despised
