Sucked You In 03:28
lyrics
buy track
If you ever came knocking at my door, I'd probably let you in. We'd have a battle of wills and ideologies, That I guarantee you won't win. I won't pretend to fully understand, The decisions you're making. One thing I know to be true, It's better to be real than to be faking. Noooooo! They’ve sucked you in again Oh nooo-o-o-o-o-o They've sucked you in again Be all that you can be, As long as it's not yourself. When who you are is tattooed all over your arm, You should know it all too well. Instead of skeletons, You've now got bottles in your closet. Forget the right to free drinking, By the looks of what you've done you've fucking lost it. Noooooo! They’ve sucked you in again Oh nooo-o-o-o-o-o They've sucked you in again I’ll admit, I’m a contradiction I don’t expect you to understand Everything about my religion I’m just doing the best I can To live by what I know is right I’m just trying to follow what I believe I can’t say I’m winning the fight I guess we’ll just wait and see Noooooo! They’ve sucked you in again Oh nooo-o-o-o-o-o They've sucked you in again

Need It 02:22
lyrics

Had my fill and quit the band today Didn't want to leave But I just couldn't say Things took a bad turn End in a bad way Grabbed my guitar and left the key Heard you quit the band today Didn't know what to think, didn't know what to say But i knew it'd be OK The world seems to work out in such a mysterious way If you leave today Tomorrow you know that you’ll need it If you leave today Tomorrow you’ll only regret it Had my fill and wrote a song today Called up Matt said “Hey man you wanna play?” Beers and tunes in a dirty band room Right back where I started despite me Yeah, we played some tunes today Just like I said it would, it felt just like yesterday I always knew it'd be OK The world seems to work out in such a mysterious way If you leave today Tomorrow you know that you’ll need it If you leave today Tomorrow you’ll only regret it

.45 Caliber 02:52

With a .45 caliber sticking in your face .45 caliber sticking in your face What you gonna do? What you gonna say? With a .45 caliber sticking in your face Came in to this town, Tried to burn me down, What made you think that I could be pushed around? What was going through your head? .45 caliber, you're better off dead .45 caliber sticking in your face It's a .45 caliber sticking in your face What you gonna do? What you gonna say? With a .45 caliber sticking in your face Iron clad fist, And a long black list, That’s how I keep control of a town like this And my trusty 45 its hanging by my side, I’ll use it on you if you don’t stay in line .45 caliber sticking in your face It's a .45 caliber sticking in your face What you gonna do? What you gonna say? With a .45 caliber sticking in your face This is how I live, This is how I kill, Wonder if I’ll ever really get my fill? Killed a lot of men to make me who I am. It's all the same in the end .45 caliber sticking in your face It's a .45 caliber sticking in your face What you gonna do? What you gonna say? With a .45 caliber sticking in your face

Anti-Social Networking 03:32
lyrics
buy track
Just like those guys who hang out daily down on main street Your computer is the equivalent of their street corner stoop Social networking's not social at all It's a waste of time and a waste of life but I guess that's how you like it Daily routine goes out the window with MSN on You sit and talk to them 6 to 8 hours a day Call it jealousy, call it what you will I call it disgusting and I call it how I see it Someday I'll forget it Someday I'll learn to live with it Someday I'll forget it, might even learn to like it As for today I'll be huddled down on main street Nursing a bottle, nursing a pain in my chest My idea of the perfect way to cope Sit back relax, watch time pass, wait for things to happen Try to think of a better situation, try to think of a better way to live I've been working on dying for far too long Wasted nights and stupid fights, that's what I get for breathing Someday I'll forget it Someday I'll learn to live with it Someday I'll forget it, might even learn to like it I MIGHT LIKE IT! Someday I'll forget it Someday I'll learn to live with it Someday I'll forget it, might even learn to like it (x2)

These Pages 03:08
lyrics
buy track
Watching the days waste away Watching opportunities pass me by My friends move on so blissfully While I’m sitting here I’m left behind Watching all you happy people Living your happy lives You make it look so simple Just makes me wonder why I can’t seem to make the changes That I wanna make And I've been struggling through these pages There’s only so much that I can take Another drink, another song Another love story gone all wrong. Another night I’ll sleep alone. Another heartbreak to call my home Again tonight I will drink myself the sleep For a few hours at least I’ll have some peace Till I wake again And start to wonder why I can’t seem to make the changes That I wanna make And I've been struggling through these pages What will it take For me to make the changes That I wanna make And I've been struggling through these pages There’s only so much that I can take I can take There's only so much that I can take Only so much that I can take! I can’t seem to make the changes That I wanna make And I've been struggling through these pages What will it take For me to make the changes That I wanna make And I've been struggling through these pages There’s only so much that I can take I can take

You Should Know 02:22
lyrics

For all intents and purposes it's over For all intents and purposes, you should know For all intents and purposes it's over You should know You should know You should know Just got home from work, you're calling me a jerk Try to drown you out with booze but I know it won't work We'll argue some more. you'll walk out the door Hope I never see you again For all intents and purposes it's over For all intents and purposes, you should know For all intents and purposes it's over You should know You should know You should know Stumbling downtown today Was kinda drunk I’d have to say Tomorrow I’ll remember your gone Then I may regret some of those bad things I said. I still won’t regret that you're gone (You fucking cunt) For all intents and purposes it's over For all intents and purposes, you should know For all intents and purposes it's over You should know You should know You should know It's all said and done, we've had some fun We'll go our own ways, no one knows who won I'll speak for myself and nobody else You'll get your chance when you play in a band For all intents and purposes it's over For all intents and purposes, you should know For all intents and purposes it's over You should know You should know You should know (x3)

Swept Away! 02:41
lyrics
buy track
The winds of change, as Scorpions would say, have blown us Far away from where we were yesterday and shown us That there are no constants in this arbitrary life A roller coaster rolling as day turns into night So take a hit and take a sip and snort your problems away The only significance is that you give it Millions are suffering, who fucking did it? It happens by itself, it's cruel but there's no doubt Before we all know it we'll soon be swept away AWAY! 27 trips around the sun 27 more and I'll probably be done And 27 more from there, who'll remember or even care? Like the multitudes before me, I'll be reduced to "He was here." Unless I commit atrocities, or change the world in some way The only significance is that you give it Millions are suffering, who fucking did it? It happens by itself, it's cruel but there's no doubt Before we all know it we'll soon be swept away AWAY!

My Side of The Tracks 02:29
lyrics

We hit the streets, like dogs off their leash Heading out to go slobber down town All that's left of me, is my humility And the remnants of my bank account When it's all over, I'll stumble to my side of the tracks Where its just me for me, and nothing comes free And this monkeys been living on my back A 5 day week, goes by like a year Seems like such a waste of a life Working to survive, waiting for Friday night To go drown the pain and the strife When it's all over, I'll stumble to my side of the tracks Where its just me for me, and nothing comes free And this monkeys been living on my back Where will I be, If i hit 60? Probably be slobbering down town All that will be left of me will be my humility And the remnants of my bank account When it's all over, I'll stumble to my side of the tracks Where its just me for me, and nothing comes free And this monkeys still living on my back

Whiskey and Cocaine 03:03
lyrics

Day after day I’ll waste them away Won’t answer my phone Won’t you please go away This bar is my home And I’ll sit here alone Don’t call me, Don’t call me, Don’t call me, Don’t call me, Through the booze, tears and sweat You're still in my head Whiskey and Cocaine, it’s all I got left And you say I survived We both know that’s a lie The summer you left me is the summer I died I died I crossed the line And those lines have crossed me I'm numb and I wasted My visions blurry I’m laughing at life And she’s laughing back It’s had to walk strait With Dave’s knife in my back Through the booze, tears and sweat You're still in my head Whiskey and Cocaine, it’s all I got left And you say I survived We both know that’s a lie The summer you left me is the summer I died I died Cut it up! Get me another round Need some cocaine Pick me up from the ground Lately love I’ve been feeling so low All I need is just a little blow Through the booze, tears and sweat You're still in my head Whiskey and Cocaine It’s all I got left, It’s all I got left, It’s all I got left And you say I survived We both know that’s a lie The summer you left me The summer I died I died The summer I died Just one more line The summer I died

Sporadic Insobriety (Best Joke of the Roast) 03:22
lyrics
buy track
I'm miserable and bitter. The best joke of the roast You love me. I love sporadic insobriety, and you. I guess I've always been too casual about it You're prim and proper, you're the toast of the town I'm smelling like a brewery, staggering around You set yourself goals and you work to achieve them I set myself up on expectations drawn from better men Now you hate me. Say I’m unstable anti-social and need therapy And who am I to say that you're not right about it? Now you're telling me you're miserable just living for your son. I'm living for feelings the same way that I've always done Content with discontentment. Happy to know that I'm not one of the numb who Believe in structure, believe in a god That everything is right, there is no wrong. My life is chaos. I ain't afraid of no ghost I'm miserable and bitter. The best joke of the roast. As told by Greg Giraldo
