1] ANTHEM PART II

Everything has fallen to piecesEarth is dying, help me JesusWe need guidance, we’ve been misled Young and hostile but not stupid

Corporate leaders, politiciansKids can’t vote, adults elect themLaws that rule the school and workplaceSigns that caution sixteen’s unsafe

We really need to see this throughWe never wanted to be abusedWe’ll never give up, it’s no useIf we’re f***ed up, you're to blame

Let this train-wreck burn more slowlyKids are victims in this storyDrown the youth with useless warnings

Teenage rules, they’re f***ed and boring

We really need to see this throughWe never wanted to be abusedWe’ll never give love, it’s no useIf we’re f***ed up, you’re to blame

Everything has fallen to piecesEverything has fallen to piecesEverything has fallen to piecesEverything has fallen to…

We really need to see this throughWe never wanted to be abusedWe’ll never give love, it’s no useIf we’re f***ed up, you’re to blame

JosieYou’re my source of most frustration

Forget when I don’t meet expectations

Everything you wished came trueIn the end we all blamed youEven though, as they all know, You weren’t the only one

Why do you still keep it aroundWhen you know it brings me down, I’m hating everythingAnd I know that you dated other guys But I got to wonder why You’d leave it out for me

Why am I still hanging around When I know it brings me down I’m hating everythingAnd you are getting rides home in his carYou’re making out in his front yard

I’m hating everything.

Pleae don’t remind mePut your past behind meIt shines so bright it blinds meI wish that it would endAm I am not fineLast night I saw you online Your screen name used to be mineWhy can’t we just pretend

And if we can have another day I’ve got so much left to sayI’d tell you everythingAnd I’ll laugh when I think about the past When I see you after classYou’re hating everything

Please don’t remind mePut your past behind me

It shines so bright it blinds meI wish that this would endAm I am not fineLast night I saw you online Your screen name used to be mineWhy can’t we just pretend

And she said, “I just forgot you were there”

3] FIRST DATE

In the car I just can’t waitTo pick you up on our very first dateIs it cool if I hold your hand? Is it wrong if I think it’s lame to dance?Do you like my stupid hair? Would you guess that I didn’t know

what to wear?I’m just scared of what you think

You make me nervous so I really can’t eat.

Let’s goDon’t waitThis nights almost overHonest, let’s make this night last forever.Forever and everLet’s make this last forever Forever and ever. Let’s make this

last forever

When you smile, I melt insideI’m not worthy for a minute of your timeI really wish it was only me and you. I’m jealous of everybody in the room.Please don’t look at me with those eyesPlease don’t hint that you’re capable of liesI dread the thought of our very first kiss

A target that I’m probably gonna miss

Let’s goDon’t waitThis nights almost overHonest, let’s make this night last forever.Forever and everLet’s make this last forever Forever and ever. Let’s make this

last forever

4] HAPPY HOLIDAYS

I’ll never talk to you again

5] STORY OF A LONELY GUY

Push it outFake a smileAvert disaster just in timeI need a drink

‘Cause in a while worthless answers fromfriends of mine.It’s dumb to ask cool to ignoreGirls possess me but they’re never mine.

I made my entranceAvoided hazardsChecked my engine I fell behindDaDa, Dada. . . I fell behind.

She makes me feel like it’s raining outsideAnd when the storms gone I’m all

torn up insideI’m always nervous on days like this likethe promI get too scared to move ‘cause

I’m a f***ing boy

Remember when I was in the

grocery storeNow’s my time.Lost the words, lost the nerve, lost the girl

left the lineI would wish upon a star but that star,

it doesn’t shine So read my book, with a boring endingA short story of a lonely guy

DaDa . . . Who fell behind


torn up insideI’m always nervous on days like this

like the promI get too scared to move ‘cause

I’m a f***ing boy

DaDa, Dada. . .


torn up insideI’m always nervous on days like this

like the promI get too scared to move ‘cause I’m still

just a stupid, worthless boy

6] THE ROCK SHOW

Hanging out behind the club on the weekend

Acting stupid, getting drunk with my best friends.

I couldn’t wait for the summer and the Warped Tour

I remember it’s the first time that I saw her. . . there.

She’s getting kicked out of school because she’s failing

I’m kind of nervous ‘cause I think all her friends hate me.

She’s the one, she’ll always be thereShe took my hand and that made it

I swear.

Because I fell in love with the girl at the rock show.

She said ‘what’ and I told her that I didn’t know.

She’s so cool, I’m gonna sneak in through her window.

Everything’s better when she’s around,I can’t wait ‘til her parents go

out of town.I fell in love with the girl at the

rock show.

When we said we were gonna move to Vegas

I remember the look her mother gave usSeventeen without a purpose or directionWe don’t owe anyone a f***ing

explanation.

I fell in love with the girl at the rock show.She said ‘what’ and I told her that

I didn’t know.She’s so cool, gonna sneak in

through her window.Everything is better when she’s around,I can’t wait ‘til her parents go out of town.I fell in love with the girl at the rock show.

Black and white picture of her on my wallI waited for her callShe always kept me waiting.

And if I ever got another chanceI’d still ask her to dance.Because she kept me waiting

I fell in love with the girl at the rock show.She said ‘what’ and I told her that

I didn’t know.She’s so cool, gonna sneak in

through her window.Everything is better when she’s around,I can’t wait ‘til her parents go out of town.I fell in love with the girl at the rock show.

With the girl at the rock show

I’ll never forget tonight

7] STAY TOGETHER FOR THE KIDS

It’s hard to wake up

When the shades have been pulled shutThis house is hauntedIt’s so patheticIt makes no sense at all.I’m ripe with things to sayThe words rot and fall away.What stupid poem can fix this home I’d

read it every day.

So here’s your holidayHope you enjoy it this timeYou gave it all awayIt was mine So when you’re dead and goneWell you, you’ll never guess my twenty

years now lostIt’s not right

Their anger hurts my ears

Been burnin’ strong for seven yearsRather than fix the problems, they

never solve themIt makes no sense at allI see them every dayWe get along, so why can’t they?If this is what he wants and this is

what she wantsThen why is there so much pain?

So here’s your holidayHope you enjoy it this timeYou gave it all awayIt was mine So when you’re dead and goneWell you, you’ll never guess my twenty

years now lostIt’s not right

8] ROLLER COASTER

Breathing deeplyWalking backwardsFinding strength to call and ask herRoller Coaster, favorite rideLet me kiss you one last time

Leave me standing here Act like I’m not aroundThe coast will probably never clearCan I please go home now?

I had that dream about you againWhere I wait outsideUntil you let me inAnd there I stayed

Lay beside meAnd listen at the wall

We’ll keep on lying Until the summer comes

I had that dream about you againWhere you drive my car Right off a f***ing cliff

And now I’m breathing deeplyWalking backwardsFinding strength to call and ask herRoller Coaster, favorite rideLet me kiss you one last time

Make me promiseThat I will never tellAll I remember isThe way her bedroom smelled

I had that dream about you againWhere I wait outside

Until you let me in

And now I’m breathing deeplyWalking backwardsFinding strength to call and ask herRoller Coaster, favorite rideLet me kiss you one last time Goodnight, goodnight

9] RECKLESS ABANDON

On and on, reckless abandonSomething’s wrongThis is gonna shock themNothing to hold on to We’ll use this song To lead you on

I learned a lot todayNot sure if I’ll get l**d and

Not sure if I’ll fail or passKissed every girl in class

Everybody would waste it allTo have a summer that they could callA memory that’s full of funF***ed up when it’s all done

On and on, reckless abandonSomething’s wrongThis is gonna shock themNothing to hold on to We’ll use this song To lead you onAnd break the truth with more bad news.We left a scar size extra large

Sip a drink of the alcoholEnd up kneeling in bathroom stallsEyes are red and my movements slow

Too high, got vertigo

He took a s*** in the bathroom tubAnd fed the dog with a brownie drugTried hard to not get caughtHe f***ed a chick in a parking lot

On and on, reckless abandonSomething’s wrongThis is gonna shock themNothing to hold on to We’ll use this song To lead you onAnd break the truth with more bad newsWe left a scar size extra large

Break a window and bust a wallMaking fun of your friend’s momTurn the music up way too loudCharge the pizza to the house

Everybody would waste it all

To have a summer that they could callMemory that’s full of fun F***ed up when it’s all done

On and on, reckless abandonSomething’s wrongThis is gonna shock themNothing to hold on to We’ll use this song To lead you onAnd break the truth with more bad newsWe left a scar size extra large

10] EVERYTIME I LOOK FOR YOU

I never found out why you left himBut this answer begs that questionToo blind to see tomorrow

Too broke to beg or borrow.Young and stupidLeft wide openHearts are wastedLives are broken

One more point of contentionI need some interventionApproached with vague intentionsBetray my short attention Span the distance.Bridge the borderBeg forgivenessRound the corner

Everytime I look for you the sun goes down

And I stumble when the whole thing runs aground

I left another message, you are never around

But everytime I look for you the sun goes down once more

Will the last one out please shut the door

More time apart will give youA few more months to argueIs this too much to live through?It always seemed too far to Drive the point homeSend more lettersPray tomorrowEnds up better

Everytime I look for you, the sun goes down

And I stumble when the whole thing runs aground



Will the last one out please shut the door

I never did do anything that she askedI never let what happened stay in the past.I never did quite understand what

she meantIn spite of everythingIn spite of everything

Everytime I look for you, the sun goes down

And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground



And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground


But everytime I look for you the sungoes down

11] GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON

Mom and Dad they quite don’t understand it

All the kids they laugh as if they planned itWhy do girls want to pierce their noseAnd walk around in torn pantyhose,

oh yeah

I like to watch you say they listen to the punk rock

I like the kids who fight I guess how theywere brought upThey hate the trends and think it’s

f***ed to care.Its cool when they piss people off withwhat they wear, oh yeah

So give me one good reason Why we need to be like themKids will have fun and offendThey don’t want to and don’t fit in

Hate the jocks, the preps, the hippie-f***ing scumbags

Heavy-metalers with their awful, p**** hair bands

Counting seconds until we can get awayDitchin’ school almost every single day,

oh yeah

So give me one good reason Why we need to be like themKids will have fun and offendThey don’t want to and don’t fit in

12] SHUT UP

Shut the f*** up, she said I’m going f***ing deafYou’re always too loudEverything’s too loud

Now that all my friends leftThis place is f***ing dead.I want to move outWhen can we move out?This s*** has got to stopI’ll run away

Get the f*** up, she said

Your life is meaninglessIt’s going nowhereYou’re going nowhere

You’re just a f*** up, she saidI’ll live alone instead She said “You don’t care.”I know I don’t care

I’ll never ask permission from youF*** off, I’m not listening to youI’m not coming home.I’m never going to come back home

I got too f***ed up, againAnd passed out on the planeTried to forget youI can’t forget you

No sleep on this flight

I think its time for me to leave

13] PLEASE TAKE ME HOME

Oh no, it happened again She’s cool, she’s hot, she’s my friendI drive for hours, it’s soYou leave me nowhere

She’s unstoppableUnpredictableI’m so jaded, calculated.Wrong

Please take me homeToo late, it’s goneI bet you’re sadThis is the best time we ever had

I hope, hope that it lastsGive in, forget the pastBe strong when things fall apart

Honest, this breaks my heart

She’s unstoppableUnpredictableI’m so jaded, calculatedWrong



Why did we have to go date? It’s too easy to complicateBe strong when things fall apart

Honest, this breaks my heart.

Please take me home Too late, it’s goneI bet you’re sadThis is the best time we ever had
