The Art Of Losing
Whoa..
Last call now I'm out of time
And I don't got no valentine
Singled out, now I stand alone
The underdog at a modern world
Suburbia's hot tonight
But nothing seems to feel alright
I don't want your sympathy
I just need a little therapy
At least that's what they say to me
Hey, ho, let's go!
I'm gonna start a riot
You don't wanna fight it
One, two, fuck you!
Don't tell me what to do!
I don't wanna be like you
Can't you see, it's killing me?
I'm my own worst enemy
Knock me down, I'll keep on moving
It's the art of losing
Whoa..
Set the mould and do what you're told
Get a job and start growing old
9-5 can make your dreams come true
But I don't wanna be like you
I'm not cool and I'll never be
I break the rules and I guarantee
I don't want your sympathy
I just need a little therapy
At least that's what they say to me
Hey, ho, let's go
I'm gonna start a riot
You don't wanna fight it
One, two, fuck you
Don't tell me what to do
I don't wanna be like you
Can't you see it's killing me
I'm my own worst enemy
Knock me down, I'll keep on moving
It's the art of losing
You call me a loser
You say I'm just a user
But I'll just keep on moving
'Cause that's the art of losing
Whoa...
...Two, three, four!
Hey, ho, let's go!
I'm gonna start a riot
You don't wanna fight it
One, two, fuck you!
Don't tell me what to do!
I don't wanna be like you
Can't you see, it's killing me?
I'm my own worst enemy
Knock me down, I'll keep on moving
It's the art of losing
Whoa..
It's the art of losing
Whoa...
It's the art of losing
We're the kids, we're the kids, we're the kids in America
We're the kids, we're the kids, we're the kids in America
The Breakup Song
I can't believe I hung around with you
All this time
You drove me crazy with your O.C.D
Girl you're out of your mind
I'm counting on UFOs to beam me up
I just don't know
how long I can take this shit
I'm over it, girl you gotta go
It's over, we're over
Just like in crimson and clover
We're sinking and I'm thinking
How the hell did we get so stupid?
It's the end, ex-girlfriend
I don't care what you think of me now
So long you're gone
This is the break up song
One more thing before you go
Would you please give me my records back
My Bloody Valentine, The Pixies, Cheap Trick
and Back in Black
you can keep the dog we bought
But you cant go near the Standard Bar
Don't hang around, don't call my friends
they won't know who you are
It's over, we're over
Just like in crimson and clover
We're sinking and I'm thinking
How the hell did we get so stupid?
It's the end, ex-girlfriend
I don't care what you think of me now
So long you're gone
This is the break up song
So long you're gone
This is the break up song
It's over, we're over
Just like in crimson and clover
We're sinking and I'm thinking
How the hell did we get so stupid?
It's the end, ex-girlfriend
I don't care what you think of me now
So long you're gone
This is the break up song
So long you're gone
This is the break up song
So long you're gone
This is the break up song
So long you're gone
This is the break up song
This is the break up song
Beautiful Disaster
Ill make you a five star enemy
Ive taken a fall would you like to see
Choke it down with a sound
All away from me
Keep em laughing
Girl do you see me
Break it down now
What you want anyway?
Right about now
I'm fuckin up again
We keep falling in love
What a beautiful disaster
What a beautiful disaster
Connect my skull to the socket
Burn baby, burn it like a rocket
Can't sound can't tell
Would you buy it
Fake skin now don't you wanna try it
Break it down now
What you want anyway?
Right about now
I'm fuckin up again
We keep falling in love
What a beautiful disaster
What a beautiful disaster
Connect my skull to the socket
Burn baby buring like a rocket
Choke it down with a sound all away from me

Break it down now
Break it down now
Break it down now
What you want anyway?
Right about now
I'm fuckin up again
We keep falling in love

Save Me
I've been so low
Yeah I've been so strung out
Can you picture this?
I'll take something, it's better than nothing, anything
That you've got to give
I can't let go
I don't want you to know
I've been down so low
Can you save me?
I'll fight my way
Just to hear you say
If I go up in flames
Could you save me?
The more you whisper
The words keep stinging in my ear
We're never gunna be the same
Sunshine fading
And black sheets raining down on me
They cover up everything
I can't let go
I don't want you to know
I've been down so low
Could you save me?
I'll fight my way
Just to hear you say
If I go up in flames
Could you save me?
I've been so selfish
I get so high
Don't wanna come down
I've been so low
Yeah I've been so strung out
Can you picture this?
I can't let go
I don't want you to know
I've been down so low
Could you save me?
I'll fight my way
Just to hear you say
If I go up in flames
Could you save me?
Nothing Left To Lose
Nothing left to lose
Except you and your baby blues.
Microphone,
Check this rhyme,
Pancho Villa was a friend of mine
I get fucked up, holla back ya'll,
And i kick it like Jackie Chan
With my kung fu style
I'll get rid of you in a while (yeah)
Hey, Hey, Hey..all the bitches in the back
C'mon C'mon, get up get up (whoa)
I know you know it's never forever,
C'mon C'mon, get up get up (whoa)
You wanna hear i'm sorry? whatever!
Now that you're gone
I'm moving on
You wrecked it all
There's nothing left to lose except for you.
I got my teenage kicks
Pulling down boards like Rodman
All the lipstick chicks, sing
Na, na, na, na, na, na
I get fucked up (holla back ya'll)
And i rock it like Jackson Browne
Let me tell you right now (what?!)
I like strippers better anyhow.
Hey, Hey, Hey..all the bitches in the back
C'mon C'mon, get up get up (whoa)
I know you know it's never forever,
C'mon C'mon, get up get up (whoa)
You wanna hear i'm sorry? whatever!
Now that you're gone
I'm moving on
You wrecked it all
There's nothing left to lose except for you.
Teenage Alien Nation
I want it all
No matter what thought you heard me say
No matter what you know you can't escape today
Is there any other way?
So what if you don't like me
I don't give a fuck if you don't like me
I can change my lock
It seems that I'm rotten to the core
Forget about tomorrow
You and me we're going down in sorrow
Youth of the nation going nowhere
Station to station
Teenage alien nation (woah)
Teenage alien nation (yeah)
It's all wrong
I guess that some of us have come and gone
I guess we kinda shudda known it all along
Never going anywhere
Sometimes you gotta pick it up and roll the dice
Your looking back and you don't think twice
About feeling lonely everyday
Forget about tomorrow
You and me we're going down in sorrow
Youth of the nation going nowhere
Station to station
Teenage alien nation (woah)
Teenage alien nation (yeah)
Forget about tomorrow
You and me we're going down in sorrow
Youth of the nation going nowhere
Station to station
Forget about tomorrow
You and me we're going down in sorrow
Youth of the nation going nowhere
Station to station
Teenage alien nation (woah)
Teenage alien nation (yeah)
Teenage alien nation (woah)
Teenage alien nation (yeah!)
Rise
I don't know what I can take
Can you feel the pressure break
I've been getting by on nothing
How long so long
Feeling like I lost my vision
Transmission full of dead ambition
Kinda sorta gotta get it together
I can't wait forever
Rise out of the atmosphere
I gotta disappear
I gotta get out of here
You got the best of me
Rise up and outta here
Into the stratosphere
I gotta get out of here
You got the best of me
I could never be that clever
Even though it's now or never
Counting down the seconds till it blows
4 3 2 1
Disappear without a trace
Could I be in outer space
Staring at the sun till I get how high so high
Rise out of the atmosphere
I gotta disappear
I gotta get out of here
You got the best of me
Rise up and outta here
Into the stratosphere
I gotta get out of here
You got the best of me
Did I break down
Can we slow down
I wanna get out
I don't wanna be so bored
Rise out of the atmosphere
I gotta disappear
I gotta get out of here
You got the best of me
Rise up and outta here
Into the stratosphere
I gotta get out of here
You got the best of me
You got the best of me [x8]
This Is The Sound
Empty hearts can fill an empty room
because of you
the sky above remaing clear and blue
its nothing new
the radio keeps playing static all
your favorite songs
and why does everyone keep on bringing me back to you
If this is the sound
broken down
and this is the last train home
the only underground
and this is the fall
don't catch me if i fall
just catch me when i fall
back to the ground
Lighting crashes all around me now
and here it sound
broken wings can carry us to where
people stare
fall asleep against the window pane
inside the rain
covers everyone now we're never gonna see the sun
If this is the sound
broken down
this is the last train home
the only underground
and this is the fall
don't catch me if i fall
just catch me when i fall
don't catch me if i fall
back to the ground
and if you wanted to stay
i'll have you any day
and if you wanted to stay
i'll have you any way
If this is the sound
broken down
this is the last train home
the only underground
and this is the fall
don't catch me if i fall
just catch me when i fall
back to the ground
If this is the sound (2x)
If this is the fall
don't catch me if i fall
just catch me when i fall
don't catch me if i fall
The Gold Rush
She caught the gold rush
I could never get enough
She's been in magazines
What a little beauty queen
She'll stick around a while
With such a winning smile
She could be in black and white
I'm color blind, I'll make it right
Her head keeps spinning round
I'm in over my head
There's an art to falling down, down
Hey, hey, I got a message for ya
You're gonna blow it girl
Stuck in your little world
Fight, fight, 'till we get it right
I got you right where I want you
She caught the gold rush
I must have lost my touch
She's on the movie screen
Acting like a rockett queen
(Do you know what I mean)
She'll go the long mile
With such a winning smile
Break it down forever now
Cause don't want her anyhow
Her head keeps spinning round
I'm in over my head
There's an art to falling down, down
Hey, hey, I got a message for ya
You're gonna blow it girl
Stuck in your little world
Fight, fight, 'till we get it right
I got you right where I want you
My golden girl, she's just a golden girl
My little rockett queen
Right on the movie screen
Hey, hey, I got a message for ya
You're gonna blow it girl
Stuck in your little world
Fight, fight, 'till we get it right
I got you right where I want you
[repeat]
Built For Speed
She's on fire, like a rocket
spinning out of control
Try to stop her but you just don't
know, how to keep it inside
Can you keep on turning out I'll
wait for my turn
same old story cuz you never learn
how to make it in time
she don't know, what she does to me
the girl got soul, and rhythm in between
I crash and burn, like every other time
she's my little rock-n-roll queen
I got a girl like that
my baby's built for speed
Shoot to kill, built to spill
got a mind? take your pills
but you're never gonna get to
what thrills all of us inside
can you put the pedal to the metal
this time? You gotta want it like I want
it alright, we gotta start tonight
she don't know, what she does to me
the girl got soul, and rhythm in between
I crash and burn, like every other time
she's my little rock-n-roll queen
I got a girl like that
my baby's built for speed
She's on fire, like a rocket
spinning out of control
Try to stop her but you just don't
know, how to keep it inside
she don't know, what she does to me
the girl got soul, and rhythm in between
I crash and burn, like every other time
she's my little rock-n-roll queen
I got a girl like that
my baby's built for speed
Happy
I see you in a daydream
Turn it on now make a big scene
You kiss you kiss when you want something
Fake a smile now
You got it all
And that oughta get you nowhere
What you say to me
I know how to stay outta focus
Keep your head down till the bitter end
Make believe that you my best friend
You trade passion for fashion
Nothings cool like when we were cool
And that oughta get you nowhere
What you say to me
I know how to stay outta focus
You fall through to cracks of the city street
You can't see straight
You can't see straight
I see you in a daydream
Turn it on now make a big scene
It makes you happy
It makes you happy
It makes you happy
It makes you happy
And that oughta get you nowhere
What you say to me
I know how to stay outta focus
And that oughta get you nowhere
What you say to me
You fall through to cracks of the city street
You can't see straight
You can't see straight
You can't see straight
