Ohhh backpack
harrrrdddcore backpack
ohhhh my backback
I bring my backpack everywhere i go
it comes with me to all the shows
it holds my camera and extra film
also a place to keep 7"s in
it's got a few hardcore patches
i don't smoke, but it holds my matches
Ohhh backpack
harrrrdddcore backpack
ohhhh my backback
I bring my backpack everywhere i go
it comes with me to all the shows
it holds my recorder and extra tapes
if it was bigger it would hold my bass
it holds my big blue hardcore sweatshirt
put more patches on it couldn't hurt
oh what an honor to be like Bonner
everybody dance to Gleason hardcore
Ohhh backpack
harrrrdddcore backpack
ohhhh my backback
I bring my backpack everywhere i go
it comes with me to all the shows
it holds my camera and extra film
also a place to keep 7"s in
it's got a few hardcore patches

Amy's On Crack

Amy you never told me
i can't believe that you smoke crack
i never would have guessed it
now you're gone and you're never coming back
I know how you felt
i felt the same way
when we thought we were perfect for each other
now you're all the way out in L.A.
now just one question remains
will i ever see you again?
will i ever see you again?
will i ever see you again?

Freedom Of Choice
03:06
|
|||
A victim of collision on the open sea
Nobody ever said that life was free
Sank, swam, go down with the ship
But use your freedom of choice
I'll say it again In the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice
Your freedom of choice
In ancient Rome there was a poem
About a dog who found two bones
He picked at one, he licked the other
He went in circles, he dropped dead
Freedom of choice Is what you got
Freedom of choice
Then if you got it, you don't want it
Seems to be the rule of thumb
Don't be tricked by what you see
You got two ways to go
I'll say it again In the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice
Freedom of choice
Freedom of choice Is what you got
Freedom of choice
In ancient Rome there was a poem
About a dog who found two bones
He picked at one, he licked the other
He went in circles, he dropped dead
Freedom of choice Is what you got
Freedom from choice Is what you want ...

You broke up with me in the middle of Sally Jesse
you made my feast of Ramen cold oh so cold
Why couldn't you tell me
when you came to get your things
you left me standing with a hard-on in my jeans
a talk show and a broken heart.
I can't believe you did this
what you did to our relationship
you put us on haitus.
and i canceled it!
Why couldn't you tell me
when you came to get your things
you left me standing with a hard-on in my jeans
a talk show and a broken heart.

You better run, you better hide
you better put that spray paint aside
cause here he comes, right on time
to punish you for your crime
He's Artie and he can controls the scene
that's Artie living the american dream
that's Artie in all the zines
yeahh yeahhh Artie
Because of you, it shut down
he's gonna get you, you skinhead clown
you had to do it, spray paint Oi!
ruined it for every girl and boi!
He's Artie he's not big and mean
he's Artie and you should hear him scream
hey Artie, can we join your team?
yeah yeah Artie

Brisket
01:21
|
|||
I wanted something so much, how much i couldn't say
but now that i got it, well i wish it'd go away
well it would be wrong of me to say let's just be friends
because of what you're doing our relationship should end
I don't care about your feelings (La La La)
i heard you cumming through the ceiling (La La La)
you're fucking my best friend
How will i face my good friend Rick
now that i know you were sucking his dick
now i'm sitting here wishing you were dead
cause i was your boyfriend but you never gave me head
I don't care about your feelings (La La La)
i heard you cumming through the ceiling (La La La)
you're fucking my best friend
I don't care about your feelings (La La La)
i heard you cumming through the ceiling (La La La)
you're fucking my best friend

Railroad Love
02:18
|
|||
A man and a woman meet on a train
they hit it off right away
she was kinda drunk and kinda high
thought she found the perfect guy
she's tells him her life story
he made is move in all his glory
her kisses her and she asks "why?"
he says "why not let's give it another try"
whoaaaa railroad love
ohhhhh railroad love
Well she passed the first test of his
but there was more than just one kiss
he asks if he can walk her home
or he would be all alone
she says "why not if you want to
we'll walk home and smoke a doob"
"what's your age" "27" she said "i'm older by about 11 years"
whoaaaa railroad love
ohhhhh railroad love
Her stop is the next on the route
she asks "do you still wanna hang out?"
he says "well i don't care"
and you could see it wasn't there
whoaaaa railroad love
ohhhhh railroad love

Ever
02:31
|
|||
Ever live a life that's real?
Full of zest, but no appeal?
Ever want to cry so much...
You want to die?
Ever feel that you've been had?
Had so much that you turn mad?
Ever been so depressed that
those you turn to, you bring distress?
Ever sit in tormenting silence
That turns so loud, you start to scream?
Ever take control of a dream
And play all the parts and set all the scenes?
Ever do nothing and gain nothing from it?
Ever feel stupid and then know that you really are?
Ever think you're smart and then find out you aren't?
Ever play the fool and then find out you're worse?
Ever look at a flower and hate it?
Ever see a couple kissing and get sickened by it?
Ever wish the human race didn't exist
And then realize you're one too?
Well? Have You? Ever?
I Have, So What!
