It started with a coffee or maybe two or three when suddenly, it was a habit where everything's for free the restitution I paid you didn't mean a thing I could have walked away and no-one would have known that it was me I'm sorry that I failed you I'm sorry that I fled I'm sorry that I gave you all those extra hours in my stead I couldn't come back to you I couldn't show my face I left behind too much of myself when I was trapped inside that place

Don't look to me, I'm the son of a working man know how to use my hands I've been around a few times and I think I know which way to go I just can't see why you fear the authorities 'cause they're nice to me we're the land of the free and the home of the slaves we say it every day but if you say there's something wrong, you don't belong. and if you say we ain't the best, you ain't like the rest. so lobotomize me! vasectomize me somebody please wake me from the american dream "and don't you dare ask me if I believe in equality why do you disagree? the march to Selma, Alabama, was a victory that's good enough for me." but no, it's not enough! I'm talking about love when someone dies, it ought to matter to us I should be able to trust the chosen ones but when they use their guns, where you gonna run? when you say you protect and serve, you better keep your word you're full of lies and cover-ups, you're so corrupt oh, who would have thought? a nation under God so easily forgot its own laws

they came and took me to the county jail, they came and took me to the county jail. they came and took me from my place of business, all my friends they had to witness they done put me on probation, I can't have no weed or booze they done put me on probation all i got is probation blues

My coworker got married today Children having children oh, what fun to have a son at the age of twenty-one one too many tables today all the parents hit their children it's a family place, but when you turn your face you'd think that's not the case case files pile up as lovers divorce tear their kids in two have their words, then battle in court oh, what's a child to do? children having children there's a moral here, but have no fear it's all written in vain why so eager to inseminate when the world is full of children? less than half of marriages last but you're not scared of that nannies play mother to our young stay-at-home is so overdone secret lives and military wives fidelity is criticized if you don't play the field to seal the deal, why even compete? the only thing worth mentioning is the size of your diamond ring children having children

I think I'm getting sick again I've got a fever of a hundred and ten my head's so very warm I'm coughing up a storm take a number then stand in line while my body's working overtime don't act like you can play at our venue, we've got a million other bands just like you so whatcha gonna do? this business ain't for you and what good is a music scene, if it caters to the people who are already seen? don't act like you compete with our set we had you beaten by the mic check.

Nevercare 04:41
I'm in a bad place and nobody knows I'm in a bad place now everyone knows because it's that way I wrote it down, it's in a song now I'm saving face by singing instead of speaking like I've got a fever that's always peaking I'm not a cheater, but I'm always peeking I'm always sick, I'm always straight diseasin' I need someone to treat me like dirt I need someone to make me hurt just wanted it to be you if I hurt myself, please don't care I wouldn't want you to worry if I'm not there when I'm dead and gone, I won't hear no prayers but don't you ever care you almost had me believing staring at more than just rock stars I thought that I would be leaving not the one to get left behind how's everybody doin? I'm not feeling too bad myself except for everything I can't say out loud everything that gives me hell

leave me the hell alone won't you leave me the hell alone now I'm on my own, won't you throw me a bone and leave me the hell alone it's been such a long, long time and you have long since crossed that line yeah, I'm doin' fine stayin' out of your life so stay the hell out of mine oh, just how long must I sing this song to get my point across? if you don't decide to open your eyes, then baby, that's your loss
10.
Me and my buddy was wondering if you was available for some lovin' not with the two of us, just the one I ain't lookin' for a seven-six-five-four-threesome 'cause I was thinking you were cute and he was thinkin' you were cute, to boot so please answer me if you already got a man well, that sure changes my plans but if you need a fella, I can tell ya I hope you're needin' me a couple of drinks and a bag of weed, we'll be having a good time guaranteed shimmy ourselves to the show, we'll be having such a good time swervin' on the dancefloor get the highscore, flippers flyin' tellin' ourselves that we ain't lyin' oh, I'm in love but if you don't want us I understand because we're in the same band but if you need a fella, I can tell ya I hope you're needin' me but who's this walkin' in? I don't think I like him with his arms around ya, smoochin' on ya I guess we're moving on

Gemini 05:01
was I born under the wrong sign? hell no, I’m such a Gemini I’m a coin with two sides, and it’s always gonna flip heads up you’re the same as my mother we ain’t right for each other give me time to recover from memories of my last lover give me some moonshine under your moon sign will it be the last time I see you in this life? who do I swear my love to if I don’t believe in you? be careful who you talk to because I can split in two I believe in nothing it’s not really my thing faith is too confusing and I ask too many questions but you see me in star signs constellations up high what do you see, who am I, looking at me with your sagitarri-eyes? maybe that part is true... I have many faces in different places, but I think I tend to stay the same with you your informalities, insecurites remind me of someone I once knew bleed on me wretch and writhe with me beg for keys on your knees

I bear my teeth, I bear my soul I’m lashing out ‘cause you’re coming home we’re better off without you here we’re better off without you here I just want to be alone I pull my teeth, I pull my hair I suffocate when you’re in my air you’d think we’d have more to talk about I am your seed, you are a drought I fear I might explode just give me one more reason to stay ‘cause I’m not the one who need to change but only once the damage is done you’ve realized that i’m the only one and all the times we had don’t make up for when things went bad I told you baby, take it or leave it because I’m leaving when I was young, I used to walk inside your shoes, waiting to grow up but now that they fit, I’ll wear my own I think I’d rather wear my own I just want to be alone are you afraid of my ideals, the ones I’ve been forming all these years? do you know what it’s like to be alone? I never liked your shoes. I’ll wear my own I fear I might explode
