For Those Who Should Have Known


When I'm with you there's no place for me to hide,
And facing you is just too tough.
And when the opportunity arrives,
The voice of reason aint loud enough.
I know your out for just one thing,
You could care less what the consequences bring.
After you get it you'll go back home,
And I'll be sorting though the wreckage alone...

I can feel her heart break,
But that's a chance I gotta take.
I just can't win...
I try and fight, but what's the use?
You can't deny the brutal truth.

I don't want to,
But I have to,
I can't stop it,
Cos the feeling carry back again.
I don't want to,
But I have to,
I think you know the situation that you've put me in....

Its like you're waiting for me to slip up,
So you can say "I told you so",
And before I have a chance to get up,
You've already dealt another blow..
Your methods are calculated and precise,
And you know that I'm willing to pay the price.
And if the walls could talk,
They'd let her know,
Where her trust and her faith really goes.

No, you won't be denied,
No matter how hard I try...
So I give in,
Let them say what they may
Either way I'm gonna pay

Girls I Coulda Fucked

I'm sure you've heard this one before,
What goes around comes back to you...
I forsaken all others this time,
And you proved the saying true...

I played it straight for so long,
Let's place the blame where it belongs...
Remember these last words before it's shut...
I'm haunted by the girls I coulda fucked

I wish I could make light of it,
I wish I knew what made you do the things you did...
As for the new leaf I turned,
It was too little too late, who was I trying to kid?

Oh, the history that we shared,
Turns to a future I can't bare.
The shit's hit the fan but I can't duck...
And I'm surrounded by girls I coulda fucked.

There's no where for me to hide,
The shame stares at me in your face....
Every female passerby,
I'll know what to do with next time, just in case....

Sins I wish I could confess,
Are yours to get off your chest,
I watch as the best laid plans run amuck...
I'm surrounded by girls I coulda fucked.

You're girlfriends, and your sister, too
But my heart belonged you,
In hindsight that theory really sucks,
Cos all of these were girls I coulda fucked...

Girls you know I really could have....
If I had the chance I would have....
Fucked.

Good Luck

Someone to have and to hold,
And to fill the void that your empty promises left...
Someone who won't question where you were last night,
And why there's liquor on your breath...

Good luck, baby, Good luck,
Never again will you find another lover like me.
Good luck, baby, Good luck,
Never again will you find another sucker like me.

Who else is gonna pay the rent,
And pick up the slack 'cos you're too drunk to work?
And turn a blind eye to the truth?
It hurts so bad every time you flirt...

Good luck, baby, Good luck,
Never again will you find another lover like me.
Good luck, baby, Good luck,
Never again will you find another sucker like me.

Who will still hold you close,
In lieu of rumors, whispers, snickers, and laughs?
Turning red with anger and shame,
But always finding reasons to make it last...

Good luck, baby, Good luck,
Never again will you find another lover like me.
Good luck, baby, Good luck,
Never again will you find another sucker like me.

He's A Fuck Up

I remember the parties and the fights
The melodrama and the hot summer nights
Hangin' round outside of convenience stores
The mornin' afters and the nights before
I think I promised someone somewhere
I was goin' straight home, but I never made it there
Never was good at findin' my way
And when I walk by
You could always hear 'em say

There goes that boy
He's A Fuck Up
Always makin' noise in his punk rock band
But his beater always starts up
Breaks the rules, but he never ends up in the can

Never did much, I just hung around
Played my guitar and tried to get out of town
Lookin' back it ain't no secret to me
I'm only here 'cause someone prayed for me
I still get stares and double takes, too
Just because I don't look exactly like you
And if I see a hundred
I'll be proud to say
That when I walk by
You can always hear 'em say

Hits You Hard

I've heard your story a thousand times,
It aint too much unlike mine.
Shattered hopes and unanswered prayers,
Can be a weight that's hard to bare.
And when life corners you,
And it lands its uppercut.
Throws you against the ropes,
I only hope you'll get back up.

It hits you hard, it hits you fast.
It's louder than a shotgun blast..
It leaves you all alone,
Wonderin' where your friends have gone.
When you needed love,
You were afraid to ask,
It hits you hard, it hits you fast
Yeah, it hits you hard, and it hits you fast.

Are you tired of being on the outside?
Are you sick of all their rules?
Well, you can't make a difference when,
You wage your war from a barstool.
You give everything you got,
After every empty scheme you chase.
And when it knocks you to the floor,
Try and fall down with some grace.

Do you think your strong enough to live outside they're lines?
I think you owe to yourself to try...

Last Dance

There you go again,
Off to pay bills you'll never make.
Had twice as much as you can take,
When will it all end?
Even Easy Street has its tolls,
The tales you'll live won't stay untold.
And if you think time will forget,
You aint been around the block yet.

Oh, you just couldn't see,
The forest for the trees, when it all comes crashing down.

Through the lights, through the smoke,
Save the last dance for me.
After the creeps, the dirty sheets,
Through the drunken fantasies.
The grass aint greener, the needles aint no cleaner.
You'll see...
The hard way, so darlin', save the last dance for me.

Oh, the looks you get,
Their wanting eyes, their dollar bills.
The music blares, and their drinks spill
Like fuel on a fire.
Redemption is a beaten path,
Only those who want it last.
You'll find the finer things in life,
Won't be enough to pay your flight.

But you, you just had to blaze,
You're own fucked up trail, then it all comes crashing down.

Through the lights, through the smoke,
Save the last dance for me.
After the creeps, the dirty sheets,
Through the drunken fantasies.
The grass aint greener, the needles aint no cleaner.
You'll see...
The hard way, so darlin', save the last dance for me.

Let It Loose

Man, can you recall the difference that you thought you'd make?
It's kinda scary now how easy your hope was to forsake.
You fed your foolish pride underneath the guise of a blue collar,
And they stole your best years from you, and shrewdly paid you pennies on the dollar.

No, you can't run...
No, you can't run away anymore.
Take out your guns,
And spill their blood until it covers the floor.
There aint no right or wrong,
It's been in you all along, now let it loose.

Man, can you recall the last time that you were ahead?
Sacrificing profound principles for poverty instead.
You'll never fit into their ranks, yours is a game that they refuse to play,
Your ideas make them nervous, a cancer spreading to the other slaves.

No, you can't run...
No, you can't run away anymore.
Take out your guns,
And spill their blood until it covers the floor.
There aint no right or wrong,
It's been in you all along, now let it loose.

M.O.

Sleepin' on a couch
Huddled up into a ball
Remembering the heartache
That hurt the worst of all
I used to walk these streets
10 feet tall
When you're up that high
It's a long way to fall

Too proud to admit
That I've been victimized
My love and leave reputation
Has been compromised
Threw caution to the wind
When I tasted your deadly kiss
Just another victim of
Your Modus Operandus

Now I'm the one in prison
In the dark parts of my mind
And I know you're gonna' go
Unpunished for your crimes
With a face like that
Baby, who could resist
Being the next victim of
Your Modus Operandus

I'm not the one to blame (8x)

What Were You Saying?


What were you saying?
When you were talking?
All alone, hidden in the dark with him?
I saw you whisper,
What did you whisper?
Cos it was clear to me the message you were trying to send
Don't try to tell me that it was nothing,
Cos I remember when I was in his shoes,
And it was me, girl...
Doing the listening..
And we both know just what that led to..
What were you saying?

I was waiting...
I was watching...
For you to remember who brought you there.
I was spitting in disgust at...
Every mutual smile you two shared.
Don't say its me cos,
I know you too well...
I can recognize when you're on the prowl.
It's up to you, girl,
To put it straight now,
Before I throw it all away and cry foul.
What were you saying?

What were you saying?
When you were talking?
All alone, hidden in the dark with him?
I saw you whisper,
What did you whisper?
Cos it was clear to me the message you were trying to send
Don't try to tell me that it was nothing,
Cos I remember when I was in his shoes,
And it was me, girl...
Doing the listening.
And we both know just what that led to...
What were you saying?

Why'd You Give Up?

17 in a cold, dark basement,
The morphine dulls the pain, barely...
A dirty doctor with his dirty knife,
Cuts the cord 4 months early.
Labor pains, severed veins,
A baby's born, but there's no crying...
The "doctor" pries money from her hands,
As the "angel" lays there dying.

Hateful stares, sadistic glares,
As he walks to the back of the bus...
Atrocities of the 20th century,
Remind me again, in who do you trust?
When the other cheek gets beaten in,
All that's left is your pride to defend...
200 years of hate held within,
He wonders why you gave up on him.

The little boy waits patiently,
Diligently, for his Daddy to come...
So they can do all the things,
Daddy and his new family's done.
Mommy knows the pain he feels,
She's heard the other children taunt him..
The sun goes down, she ushers him in,
She wonders why you gave up on them.

WWIII

WWIII in the land of the free,
Our apologies to your democracy...
We're giving a new meaning to the word Liberty,
And we're taking back our loans from the trinity.
We're the raceless, faceless, nameless, shameless
Walking eyesores that litter up your streets...
We flip your fucking burgers, we commit your murders,
We're the idiots that dig your ditches deep.

Don't even try and hide,
'Cos you can't outrun our guns...
Good morning motherfucker,
Judgment Day has come.

It's WWIII in the land of the free,
Our apologies to your democracy...
We'll except your life as currency,
Towards the debt you haven't paid..

WWIII in the land of the free,
We're storming the gates of your suburban homes...
We're waving the flag of "Parental Advisory",
Our battle cry is blasting out of your speaker cones.
We watched you get fat from the loads strapped to our backs,
For the bloodshed now, you can only blame yourself...
Freedom has a cost, and now yours is lost,
We don't need handouts, 'cos we're taking it ourselves.

We can hardly wait,
To start spilling your blood...
We won't rest until,
Your face down in the mud.

It's WWIII in the land of the free,
Our apologies to your democracy...
We'll except your life as currency,
Towards the debt you haven't paid..
