Happy birthday Billie Joe!

 Come together like a foot in a shoe Only this time I think I stuck my foot in my mouth. Thinking out loud and acting in vain. Knocking over anyone that stands in my way. Sometimes I need to apologize. Sometimes I need to admit that I ain't right. Sometimes I should just keep my mouth shut, or only say hello. Sometimes I still feel I'm walking alone. Walk on eggshells on my old stomping ground, yet there's really no one left, that's hanging around. Isn't that another familiar face? Too drunk to figure out they're fading away. 
i declare i dont care anymore I'm burning up and out and Growing bored In my smoked out boring room My hair is shagging in my eyes Dragging my feet to hit the Street tonight To drive along these shit Town lights I'm not growing up, I'm just burning out And I stepped in line To walk amongst the Dead Apathy has rained on me Now I'm feeling like a Soggy dream So close to drowning but I don't mind I've lived in this mental cave Throw emotions in the grave Hell, who needs them anyway So close to drowning but I don't mind I've lived in this mental cave Throw emotions in the grave Hell, who needs them anyway.

Desperate But not hopeless I feel so useless In the murder city Desperate But not helpless The clock strikes midnight In the murder city I'm wide awake After the riot This demonstration Of our anguish This empty laughter Has no reason Like a bottle Of your favorite poison We are the last call And we're so pathetic

Desperate But not hopeless I feel so useless In the murder city Desperate But not helpless The clock strikes midnight In the murder city Christian's crying In the Bathroom And I just want to Bum a cigarette We've come so far We've been so wasted It's written all over our faces. 

"Hear the sound of the falling rain"
Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!) The shame The ones who die without a name "Hear the dogs howlin' out of key" To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!) And bleed, the company lost the war today I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives On holiday Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey!)
To find, the money's on the other side Can I get another Amen? (Amen!) There's a flag wrapped around the score of men (Hey!) A gag, A plastic bag on a monument I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives On holiday
"The representative from California has the floor" Seek out to the president gas-bag Bombs away is (your punishment) Pulverize the Eiffel towers Who criticized (your government) Bang bang goes the broken glass man Kill all the fags that (don't agree) Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way that's meant for me Just cause Just cause Because we're all Okay! I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives.

I wanna be the minority I don't need your authority Down with the moral majority 'Cause I wanna be the minority I pledge allegiance
To the underworld One nation underdog
There of which I stand alone A face in the crowd Unsung against the mold Without a doubt, singled out The only way I know
Stepped out of the line Like a sheep run from the herd Marching out of time To my own beat now... The only way I know One light, one mind
Flashing in the dark Blinded by the silence Of a thousand broken hearts "For crying out loud"
She screamed unto me A free for all, fuck 'em all
You are your own sight.

I'm the son of rage and love The Jesus of suburbia From the bible of none of the above On a steady diet of Soda pop and Ritalin No one ever died for my sins in hell As far as I can tell At least the ones I got away with And there's nothing wrong with me This is how I'm supposed to be In a land of make believe That don't believe in me Get my television fix sitting on my crucifix A living room on my private womb While the moms and brads are away To fall in love and fall in debt To alcohol and cigarettes And mary jane To keep me insane Doing someone else's cocaine And there's nothing wrong with me This is how I'm supposed to be In a land of make believe That don't believe in me.

At the center of the Earth In the parking lot Of the 7-11 were I was taught The motto was just a lie It says home is where your heart is But what a shame Cause everyone's heart Doesn't beat the same It's beating out of time City of the dead At the end of another lost highway Signs misleading  

to nowhere city of the damned Lost children with dirty faces today Noone really seems to care I read the graffiti In the bathroom stall Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall And so it seemed to confess It didn't say much But it only confirmed that The center of the earth Is the end of the world And I could really careless City of the dead At the end of another lost highway Signs misleading to nowhere city of the damned Lost children with dirty faces today Noone really seems to care.

Everyone's so full of shit Born and raised by hypocrits Hearts recycled but never saved From the cradle to the grave We are the kids of war and peace From Anaheim to the Middle East We are the stories and disciples of The Jesus of suburbia Land of make believe And it don't believe in me Land of make believe And I don't believe And I don't care! i don't care! 

I sit around and watch the tube But nothing's on I change the channels for an hour or two Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit
I'm sick of all the same old shit
In a house with unlocked doors
And I'm fuckin' lazy Bite my lip and close my eyes Take me away to paradise I'm so damn bored, I'm goin' blind And I smell like shit
Peel me off this velcro seat And get me movin' I sure as hell can't do it by myself I'm feelin' like a dog in heat Barred indoors from a summer street I locked the door to my own cell And I lost the key
Bite my lip and close my eyes Take me away to paradise I'm so damn bored, I'm goin' blind And I smell like shit I got no motivation
Where is my motivation? No time for the motivation Smokin' my inspiration I sit around and watch the phone But no one's callin' Call me pathetic, call me what you will
My mother says to get a job But she don't like the one she's got When masturbation's lost its fun You're fuckin' lonely Bite my lip and close my eyes Take me away to paradise I'm so damn bored, I'm goin' blind And loneliness has to suffice Bite my lip and close my eyes I'm trippin' away to paradise
Some say quit, or I'll go blind But it's just a myth

Another turning point 

A fork stuck in the road

Time grabs you by the wrist 

directs you where to go. 

So make the best of this test 

and don't ask why. 

It's not a question 

But a lesson learned in time. 

It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right. I hope you had the time of your life. So take the photographs and still frames in your mind. Hang them on a shelf 

In good health and good times Tattoos and memories and dead skin on trial. For what it's worth, it was worth all the while. It's something unpredictable but in the end 

it's right. I hope you had the time of your life.It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right. i hope you had the time of your life. It's something unpredictable but in the end it's right. i hope we have the time of our lives.

Take away the sensation inside Bitter sweet migraine in my head Its like a throbbing toothache of the mind I can't take this feeling anymore Drain the pressure from the swelling, This sensation's overwhelming, give me a long kiss goodnight and everything will be alright Tell me that I won't feel a thing So give me Novacaine Out of body and out of mind Kiss the demons out of my dreams I get the funny feeling, that’s alright Jimmy says its better than air, I’ll tell you what Drain the pressure from the swelling, This sensation's overwhelming, Give me a long kiss goodnight and everything will be alright Tell me that I won't feel a thing, So give me Novacaine Drain the pressure from the swelling, This sensation's overwhelming Give me a long kiss goodnight and everything will be alright Tell me Jimmy I won't feel a thing, So give me Novacaine.

Do you have the time, To listen to me whine, About nothing and everything all at once? I am one of those Melodramatic fools, Neurotic to the bone no doubt about it Sometimes I give myself the creeps, Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me, It all keeps adding up, I think I'm cracking up! Am I just paranoid? Am I just stoned? I went to a shrink To analyze my dreams She says it's lack of sex That's bringing me down I went to a whore He said my life's a bore So quit my whining cause it's bringing her down Sometimes I give myself the creeps, Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me, It all keeps adding up, I think I'm cracking up! Am I just paranoid? Grasping to con-trol... So I better hold on! Sometimes I give myself the creeps, Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me, It all keeps adding up, I think I'm cracking up! Am I just paranoid? I'm not sure...

Where have all the bastards gone? The underbelly stacks up ten high The dummy failed the crash test Collecting unemployment checks Like a flunkie along for the ride Where have all the riots gone As your city's motto is pulverized? What's in love is now in debt On your birth certificate So strike the fucking match to light this fuse! The town bishop is an extortionist And he don't even know that you exist Standing still when it's do or die You better run for your fucking life It's not over 'till you're underground It's not over before it's too late This city's burning It's not my burden It's not over before it's too late There's nothing left to analyze Where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself? And where will we all go when it's too late? And don't look back You're not the Jesus of Suburbia The St. Jimmy is a figment of Your father's rage and your mother's love Made me the Idiot America It's not over 'till you're underground It's not over before it's too late This city's burning It's not my burden It's not over before it's too late She said I can't take this place I'm leaving it behind Well she said I can't take this town I'm leaving you tonight.

Nice guys finish last You're running out of gas Your sympathy will get you left behind Sometimes you're at your best, when you feel the worst You feel washed up like piss going down the drain Pressure cooker pick my brain and tell me I'm insane I'm so fucking happy I could cry Every joke can have its truth but now the joke's on you
I never knew you were such a funny guy Oh nice guys finish last, when you are the outcast, Don't pat yourself on the back, you might break your spine Living on command You're shaking lots of hands You’re pissing up and bleeding all your trust Taking what you need Bite the hand that feeds You lose your memory And you got no shame Pressure cooker pick my brain and tell me I'm insane I'm so fucking happy I could cry Every joke can have its truth but now the joke's on you I never knew you were such a funny guy Oh nice guys finish last, when you are the outcast, Don't pat yourself on the back, you might break your spine Oh nice guys finish last, when you are the outcast, Don't pat yourself on the back, you might break your spine Oh nice guys finish last, when you are the outcast, Don't pat yourself on the back, you might break your spine Oh nice guys finish last, when you are the outcast, Don't pat yourself on the back, you might break your spine.

Do as I say not as I do because The shit so deep you can't run away I beg to differ on the contrary I agree with every word that you say Talk is cheap and lies are expensive My wallet's fat and so is my head Hit and run and then I'll hit you again I'm a smartass but I'm playing dumb Standards set and broken all the time Control the chaos behind a gun
Call it as I see it even if I was born deaf, blind and dumb Losers winning big on the lottery Rehab rejects still sniffing glue Constant refutation with myself I'm victim of a catch 22 I have no belief But I believe I'm a walking contradiction And I ain't got no right Do as I say not as I do because The shit so deep you can't run away I beg to differ on the contrary I agree with every word that you say Talk is cheap and lies are expensive My wallet's fat and so is my head Hit and run and then I'll hit you again I'm a smartass but I'm playing dumb I have no belief But I believe I'm a walking contradiction And I ain't got no right I have no belief But I believe I'm a walking contradiction And I ain't got no right.

Happy birthday Billie Joe!
