Last One Out Of Liberty City

I know I know I know
I know just who I am
and what's in my head is that I don't really give a damn
just do you think I am
who you think I am
I know there comes a time when you lose faith in what you believe inside
(what you have inside)
and did you know somehow it's just a spark that's a start
(that keeps us from the crowd)
The other day this girl came up to meand asked
if she used to go to school with me and kinda laughed
and she said wasn't I the guy her friends always called a waste of time.
I know I know I know
I know just who I am
and what's in my head is that I don't really give a damn
just do you think I am
who you think I am
When I stop and think about to where I'll be 10 years from now
(10 years from now)
I wonder if the me of now would call myself washed up or watered down
(or part of the crowd?)
and the other night this guy came up to me downtown
and can't believe that after 5 years I'm still around
and he said, wasn't I the guy who walked these streets all night?
It's such a waste of time.

Help Save The Youth Of America From Exploding

Sit down, remind me how,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.
Sit down, remind me how,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.

And just outside I can hear the sound,
of the early morning street,
becoming way too loud.
Yea the hum, of the engines in the cars,
on the street, Yea.
On the street.

And with this cigarette that I just lit,
as I passed the 53rd Street bridge.
Right now the world just seems too big,
the world just seems to big.

Sit down, remind me how,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.
Sit down, remind me how,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.

And just outside, I can see my breath,
in between the words,
that fog my spinning head.
And I can see the sun coming up,
and its just light enough to see.

Another cigarette that I just lit,
as I passed the 53rd Street bridge.
Right now the world just seems too big,
the world just seems to big.

Sit down, remind me how,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.
Sit down, remind me how,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.

Sit down,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.
Sit down, (remind me how),
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.
Growing up and getting lost.

And all the late-night calls,
with all the lost hopes.
And all the missed connections (connections!).
And the lost directions.

Sit down, remind me how,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.
Sit down, remind me how,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.

Sit down,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.
Down-own, remind me how,
this is the same old story
of growing up and getting lost.

All My Best Friends Are Metalheads

This is a fair request, and I promise I will not judge any person only as a teenager.
You will constantly remind yourself that some of my generation judges people by their race,
their belief, or the color of their skin, and that this is no more right
than saying all teenagers are drunken dope-addicts or glue-sniffers.

Do you think its strange, that there's a way
of how you look at how you act, and how you think
pretend they're not the same as you.

Do you know about her strength in convictions
or how she puts all her faith in religion.
Did we take the time to really discover,
how little we know about each other.

Keep us from saying anything.
Can't separate from everything.
And all this really means is
you're one in a crowd
and you're paranoid of every sound.
Another friend
you won't miss anyhow.

Five State Drive

Got on the 47, transferred to the 89
left town eastbound past all the city signs
and y'know sometimes it's hard to leave your past behind
and as I pass the crummy bars and beat up cars
nothing's gonna change my mind this time
By now you think I've found that things changed, just don't look that way to me
by now you think I've found that things change, and look rearranged to me
it never used to look that me.
At half past seven I'm on the 95
sick of malls and alcohol
just passed the next state line
and I know sometimes it's hard to leave your past behind
and as I think of the corner creeps and dirty streets
nothing will change my mind,
there's no turning back this time.
And when going off is like going on
and never going back is just like giving up
it's like I'm going nowhere fast.

Nervous In The Alley

On a Tuesday in the rain,
I never thought there'd come a day.
I never thought there'd come a day, yea.
If I put myself to the test,
would I ever raise a fist.
Would I just shut my mouth,
would I just block it out.

I've swore it a million times,
never to be left again with that feeling,
of hopelessness left standing.
Just nervous in the alley.

I've swore it a million times,
never to be left again with that feeling,
of hopelessness left standing.
Just nervous in the alley, woah.

Just nervous in the alley.

And when all is said and through.
Would I know just what to do.
Would I know just what to do, yea.
If I put myself to the test,
would I ever raise a fist.
Would I just shut my mouth,
would I just block it out.

I've swore it a million times,
never to be left again with that feeling,
of hopelessness left standing.
Just nervous in the alley.

Woah-oh...Just nervous in the alley.
Woah-oh...Just nervous in the alley.
Woah-oh...Just nervous in the alley.
Woah-oh..Woah-woah.

It's a change of heart,
that keeps us apart
(you say its true,
you know its true,
nothing left except for me and you)
It's not that strange,
with all I have to say,
I wonder what I'm fighting for, yea.

I've swore it a million times,
never to be left again with that feeling,
of hopelessness left standing.
Just nervous in the alley.
(Woooooaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh)
I've swore it a million times,
never to be left again with that feeling,
of hopelessness left standing.
Just nervous in the alley.

Woah-oh...Just nervous in the alley.
Woah-oh...Just nervous in the alley.
Woah-oh...Just nervous in the alley.
Woah-oh...Just nervous in the alley.

Motto

Have you ever felt that something,
you know that something that keeps you sane?
and you can't explain why
But you know it's what's left inside you
and I know that it's that something
you know that something that keeps me sane
and I can't explain why when it's all I have I have left to hold onto
And when I say It's everything
from my highest hopes to my dumbest schemes
you'll never know what it means to me.
I'm just a reason away, from that something that keeps me sane.

History Of A Boring Town

Just talked to this girl who used to live on my street
After all these years you're here and you remember me
She said her old boyfriend
Packed up and headed back east
But she always knew someday he would go
She just got a new job and she doubts it will last
So let's take a drink and never think and here's to the past
She says it's so funny how life burns out so fast
It's just another wasted day

A boring life in a boring town
In the same old crowd
And I used to say that I'd never stay
But I'm rotting here today
With that same old crowd that's always been around
And I always thought I'd be the first to go

That same old crowd that drags me down
Another day in a boring town
That same old crowd that brings me down
A boring life in a boring town

Just talked to this girl who used to live here on my street
After all these years you're here
And it's still just you and me
Somtimes I can't believe after all these years
I just think I'll never leave here
She said it's so funny how life burns out so fast
So let's take another drink and here's to the past

That same old crowd that drags me down
Another day in a boring town
That same old crowd that brings me down
A boring life in a boring town

And remember when they'd look through you
And they'd look past me
We were the ones they said would always leave
So when you go, just think of me
Think of me

A boring life,
A boring town.
A boring life,
A boring town.
A boring life,
In a boring town.

Great American Sharpshooter

So you think of what it could've been
when "time is all you've lost"
keeps burning through your head
now you fall asleep standing but lie awake in bed
watch the clock drag on and think about what you should've said

It's for the better your better half is gone
its O.K. you didn't need her anyway

and I don't want to hear you say nobody can take her place
and what more can I say you don't need her anyway

So you think of how it should've been
and "it's just over" keeps going through your head
you're hearing all those words
time and time again
watch the phone all night and think about what you should've said.

It's for the better your better half is gone
its O.K. you didn't need her anyway

and I don't want to hear you say nobody can take her place
and what more can I say you don't need her anyway

Danny Says

Danny says that he got caught up
in all the talk of how it used to be
and he says "I never used to mind"
that same lame line "it's just you and me"
Danny says that he's so boring now
since he figured out that back in the day
really says"..how I remember this,
and don't give a shit about what you have to say"
He's only 19 burnt out on this scene
and just getting by on its memories

Big Crash

Sometimes, I think somethings
wrong with me because,
I was never one,
to believe in anyone or anything.
Its always been just me.
Its always been just.

And you know, they've always had,
always had big plans for you.
Just to walk you through
and cloud your views. Woah-oh-ho.
And I'll never say,
Everythings OK.
Don't wanna say that
you're giving up right now.
Just hold your ground,
and don't give up,
in what you believe.

Big plans.
Big crash.
Don't be different,
when you can't be yourself.

Sometimes, I think somethings
wrong with me because,
I was never one,
to believe in anyone or anything.
I can't say I'll ever change.
Won't say I'll ever change.

And you know, they've always had,
always had big plans for you.
Just to walk you through
and cloud your views. Woah-oh-ho-oh-ho-oh.
And I'll never say,
Everythings OK.
Don't wanna say that
you're giving up right now.
Just hold your ground,
and don't give up,
in what you believe.

Big plans.
Big crash.
Don't be different,
when you can't be yourself.

Big plans.
Big crash.
Big plans.
Big crash.

Big crash.

Theme Song For H Street

You know my best friend,
Just left yesterday and I know
I know your girlfriend,
Wasn't here to stay, she just moved away
Things are so the same,
That all I can really bring
Myself to say is that I know

And remember when they said
Just how long can you ideals
Keep you warm and we just
Laughed that kinda nervous laugh
And we just sang along to that song on the radio
To that song that's on the radio

And yeah just outside,
The conversations getting old.
And I know they're right,
Betting smokes that our end is just as close.
Things are so the same.

You were right about,
Just how we'd figure out
Things change but beliefs stay the same
And you were right about just how we'd figure out
A change of ideas I've known.

Richard Allen George... No, It's Just Cheez

Don't call me Rich,
Don't call me George,
Just call me Cheez,
That's who I am!
Don't call me Rich,
Don't call me George,
Just call me Cheez,
That's who I am!
Don't call me Rich,
Don't call me George,
Just call me Cheez,
That's who I am!
Not Rich, not George, I'm Cheez!

Civilized...
until the keg runs dry.
Heavy stride...
to drink from 9-5.
And then from 5-9.
Always drunk and going crazy.
Always drunk and going crazy,
You'd better believe it.

Chesterfield....
where the kegs never dry.
It's always filled.
Have another beer or fear.
Have another beer or two.
He'll show you his cheese tattoo.
Always drunk and going crazy,
You'd better believe it.

Aye, aye, aye, aye!
Sinco-de-Mustache!
The kids that are hip,
they grow hair on their lip.
They don't have a razor,
they don't give a shit.
They grow, and grow, and grow...
So let your mustache show!
Oh! Yea!

Scott Farcas Takes It On The Chin

Well,
I think of how things are.
Right now it feels like,
yea, it all feels like
some kind of circus show.
And how this town,
it keeps you pinned down.
Same old song from years ago.

And how this place,
will chew you up.
Then spit you out
before you go-oh.
And when they drag you,
kickin' and screamin'
from the scene you know,
that it's time to leave.

Well,
I think of how this town,
right now it's filled with
speed freaks, and assholes,
and all kinds of creeps.
And some how every new face,
in every single case
in a year or two will be erased.

And how this place,
will chew you up.
Then spit you out
before you go-oh.
And when they drag you,
kickin' and screamin'
from the scene you know,
that it's time to leave.

When I think of how I'm
feeling right now, somehow.
I still remember how I
felt four years ago.
And when I think of how
things are right now,
the same old song
from years ago.

I know this place,
will chew you up.
Spit you out before you go.
I know, I know.
And when they drag you,
kickin' and screamin'
from the scene you know,
that it's time to go.
(That it's time to go.)

Al's War

Al said goodbye to his mom and dad for the first time in his life
tonight he left the house and walked to the waiting car outside.
Yeah and somehow he thought they'd never understand
that nothing lasts
and he just knows that time is just spinning by
and life is passing him by so fast
And sometimes I think I'm the only one
that feels like going nowhere
Its like giving up
Sometimes
I think I'm the only one
that feels like going.....
Al said to me a few days ago
that he just thought for the first time in his life
he feels that the last few years were only a waste of time
Yeah and that it was always a compromise of what he always felt inside
his declaration
under the orange street lights
And sometimes I think I'm the only one
that feels like going nowhere
Its like giving up
sometimes I think I'm the only one
that feels like going ...yeah!
he was the one
who always did the right thing
he was the one who would always listen to everything they'd say
but today he's never going back.
And nobody said that there would be days like these,
there'd be days like these, there'd be days!
And sometimes I think I'm the only one
that feels like going nowhere
Its like giving up
sometimes I think I'm the only one
that feels like going nowhere
like giving up wooooo
like giving up wohhoo
like giving up wohoooo
im not giving up wohoooo
