1.Everything To Everyone
You put yourself in stupid places
Yes I think you know it's true
Situations where it's easy to look down on you
I think you like to be the victim
I think you like to be in pain
I think you make yourself a victim almost every single day
You do what you do
You say what you say
You try to be everything to everyone
You know all the right people
You play all the right games
You always try to be everything to everyone
Yeah you do it again
You always do it again
You say they taught you to read and write
Yeah they taught you how to count
I say they tought you how to buy and sell
your own body by the pound
I think you like to be their simple toy
I think you love to play the clown
I think you are blind to the fact
that the hand you hold is the hand that holds you down
You do what you do
Yeah you say what you say
You always try to be everything to everyone
You know all the right people
You play all the right games
You always try to be everything to everyone
Spin around and fall down
Do it again
Yeah you stumble and you fall
Yeah why don't you ever learn
Spin around and fall down
Do it again
Yeah you stumble and you you fall
I wonder if you will ever learn
Yeah why won't you ever learn
Come on now, do that stupid dance for me
You do what they tell you to do
Say what they say
You try to be everything to everyone
Yeah you jump through the big hoop
You play all the right games
You try to be everything to everyone
Spin around and fall down
Do it again
You stumble and you fall
Yeah you do it again
Spin around and fall down
Do it again
You stumble and you fall
2.Wonderful
I close my eyes when I get too sad
I think thoughts that I know are bad
Close my eyes and I count to ten
Hope it's over when I open them
I want the things that I had before
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door
I wish I could count to ten
Make everything be wonderful again
Hope my mom and I hope my dad
Will figure out why they get so mad
Hear them scream, I hear them fight
They say bad words that make me wanna cry
Close my eyes when I go to bed
And I dream of angels who make me smile
I feel better when I hear them say
Everything will be wonderful someday
Promises mean everything when you're little and the world's so
big
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
Tell me everything is wonderful now
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now
I go to school and I run and play
I tell the kids that it's all okay
I laugh aloud so my friends won't know
When the bell rings I just don't wanna go home
Go to my room and I close my eyes
I make believe that I have a new life
I don't believe you when you say
Everything will be wonderful someday
Promises mean everything when you're little and the world is so
big
I just don't understand how
You can smile with all those tears in your eyes
When you tell me everything is wonderful now
No
No, I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
No
No, I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
I don't wanna hear you say
That I will understand someday
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna hear you say
You both have grown in a different way
No, no, no, no
I don't wanna meet your friends
And I don't wanna start over again
I just want my life to be the same, just like it used to be
Some days I hate everything
I hate everything
Everyone and everything
Please don't tell me everything is wonderful now
I don't wanna hear you tell me everything is wonderful now
3.At The End Of The Day
5 AM on a Sunday morning
Walking uptown with the rain in the snow
When I saw you, it came without a warning
A face I had never seen
A feeling I had never known
Moving slow in the early morning
Making love in the quiet of the day
The world was waiting to take us to a new place
We knew that we were changing
We knew that we would never be the same
I know
I would do it all over again
At the end of the day
When we are alone
I get that feeling when I see your face
And I know
You'll be there at the end of the day
Two years later we are living together
We built our dream house on a hill by the sea
We could see the shadows that were growing in the distance
We were hiding
We were blind to what we did not want to see
I know
I would do it all over again
At the end of the day
When we are alone
I get that feeling when I see your face
And I know
We will be together
5 years gone by we have turned into strangers
We never talk since you went away
Now I find myself walking in circles
I keep looking for you everywhere
Keep waiting for the end of the day
I know
I would do it all again
At the end of the day
When I'm all alone
I get a feeling that I can't explain
If I knew then what I know now
Wouldn't change a thing if I could somehow
I would do it all over
Over and over again
I hope and I pray
We can do it all over again
4.Santa Monica
I am still living with your ghost
Lonely and dreaming of the west coast
I don't want to be your downtime
I don't want to be your stupid game
With my big black boots and an old suitcase
I do believe I'll find myself a new place
I don't want to be the bad guy
I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to see some palm trees
Go and try to shake away this disease
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
Watch the world die
I am still dreaming of your face
Hungry and hollow for all the things you took away
I don't want to be your good time
I don't want to be your fall-back crutch anymore
I'll walk right out into a brand new day
Insane and rising in my own weird way
I don't want to be the bad guy
I don't want to do your sleepwalk dance anymore
I just want to feel some sunshine
I just want to find some place to be alone
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
And watch the world die
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
And watch the world die
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
And watch the world die
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
And watch the world die
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
And watch the world die
We can live beside the ocean
Leave the fire behind
Swim out past the breakers
And watch the world die
5.Summerland
Let's just drive your car
We could drive all day
Let's just get the hell away from here
For I am sick again-
just plain sick to death
Of the sound of my own voice
We could leave behind
another wasted year
Just get some cheap red wine
And just go flying
We could do the things,
All the things you wanted to
No one cares about us anyway
I think I lost my smile
I think you lost yours too
We have lost the power to
make each other laugh
Let's just leave this place
And go to Summerland
Just a name on the map
Sounds like heaven to me
We could find a town-
be just how we want to be
No one here really cares
about us anyway
We could find a place-
make it what we want it to be
No one really gives a fuck
about us anyway
We could live-
live just like we want to live
No one here really cares
about us anyway
We could be-
everything we want to be
We could get lost in the Fall
Glimmer Sparkle and Fade
The Sparkle and Fade
Fall Glimmer Sparkle and Fade
The Sparkle and Fade
Fall Glimmer Sparkle and Fade
Forget about our jobs at the record store
Forget about all the losers that we know
Forget about all the memories that keep you down
Forget about them
We could lose them in the sparkle and Fade
We could leave them behind
In the Sparkle and Fade
Yeah Sparkle and Fade
Fall Glimmer Sparkle and Fade
6.Here Comes The Darkness
7.Father Of Mine
Father of mine
Tell me where have you been
You know I just closed my eyes
My whole world disappeared
Father of mine
Take me back to the day
Yeah when I was still your golden boy
Back before you went away
I remember the blue skies
Walking the block
I loved it when you held me high
I loved to hear you talk
You would take me to the movie
You would tke me to the beach
Take me to a place inside
that is so hard to reach
Father of mine
Tell me where did you go
Yeah you had the world inside your hand
But you did not seem to know
Father of mine
Tell me what do you see
When you look back at your wasted life
And you don't see me
I was ten years old
Doing all that i could
Wasn't easy for me to be a scared white boy
in a black neighborhood
Sometimes you would send me a birthday card
with a five dollar bill
Yeah I never understood you then
And I guess I never will
My daddy he gave me a name
My daddy he gave me a name
Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My dad he gave me a name
Father of mine
Tell me where have you been
Yeah I just closed my eyes
And the world disappeared
Father of mine
Tell me how do you sleep
With the children you abandoned
And the wife I saw you beat
I will never be safe
I will never be sane
I will always be weird inside
I will always be lame
Now I am a grown man
With a child of my own
And I swear I'm not going to let her know
All the pain I have known
Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My dad he gave me a name
Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My dad he gave me a name
Then he walked away
Then he walked away
Then he walked away
8.Fire Maple Song
Turn away from the pain you don't want
Turnin' down to avoid them when they call
Strange words I heard a long, long time ago
I wish I could go back to a summertime
I knew more than twenty years ago
Lay between the sheets
Lie underneath the maple tree
Now I can't smile
Lyin' down in the grass with the wind around us as we smile and
talk
Listen to your grandma sing those country songs
She'd tell us how the maple turns to fire every four years
We'd lay in the grass all summer just to watch the autumn come
around
I can't smile
I can't smile
Now I live alone
And you're so far away
Yeah, I call you every year
Just around the holidays
I still see you in the night
Lyin' above me in the grass
I can't smile
Turn away from the pain you don't want
Turnin' down to avoid them when they call
I can't believe this letter that says you died
I think I'm gonna go back the the house in North Carolina
And lay in the back yard
Get drunk and let the leaves just bury me, bury me
I can't smile
I can't smile
I don't know what's happened to me
I can't smile
9.Rock Star
I don't want to be a loser...no!...
I don't want to be an almost was
I don't want to be a white trash
Working class chump
I don't want to be a loser anymore
That's why I want to be a rock star
I want to be the king
I want to be on top, yeah
I just want to be a rock star
Yeah... now I just want to be famous
I want to be the guy that everybody wants
I want to be on TV shows
And wear designer clothes
I want a girlfriend who does not drink beer
I want to drive a fast car
And sleep with certain movie stars
I want to sing the songs
That all those little people want to hear
I just want to be a rock star
I want to be like all those people up in first class
I just want to be a rock star
I want to tell the little people
They can kiss my ass
I just want to be a rock star
I just want to get laid
I just want to be a rock star
A different girl for every day
That's why I want to be a rock star
Be like all those guys on the MTV
I just want to be a rock star
I want to make those girls on the Real World
Fantasize about me
I just want to be a rock star
I want to be the king
I want to be on top
I just want to be a rock star
I just want to be famous
Everybody everywhere wants to be famous
and everybody everywhere wishes they could tell
Everybody everywhere to go to Hell
I just want to be a rock star
I just want to get high
I just want to party like a rock star
Until the day I die
I just want to be a rock star
10.Learning How To Smile
Five miles outside of Vegas when we broke down
Threw my keys inside the window and we never looked back
Got all drunk and sloppy on a Greyhound bus
We passed out, all them losers they were laughin' at us
I will never let them break your heart
No I will never let them break me
We got lost in Phoenix, seemed like such a long time
Seven months of living sweaty on those thin white lines
Did some time for selling acid to the wrong guy
Life just keeps on getting smaller and we never ask why
Why there is no perfect place, yes I know this is true
I'm just learning how to smile, that's not easy to do
I know there will come a day
When we can leave and just go running away
We was broke outside of Philly when the storms came
I was working in New Jersey, hitching rides in the rain
You was happy talkin' dirty at that phone sex place
Life just keeps on getting weirder for us every day
You say there is no perfect place, I say I know this is true
We are just learning how to smile, that's not easy to do
We both live for the day
When we can run away
Oh baby we can leave and run away
Yes we can leave this place and run away
We can leave it all behind like we do every time
Yes we both live for the day
When we can leave and just go running away
No I will never let it break your heart
No I will never let it break me
Five miles outside of Vegas, five years down the line
We got married in the desert in the sunshine
I can handle all the hell that happens every day
When you smile and touch my face you make it all just go away
Yes I know there ain't no finish line, I know this never ends
But I'm just learning how to fall, climb back up again
I know there is nothing perfect, I know there is nothing new
We are just learning how to live together, me and you
You know I live for the day
When you say 'Baby let's just run away'
Oh baby we can leave and run away
Yes we can leave this place and run away
Baby we can leave and run away
We can leave this place and run away
11.I Will Buy You A New Life
Here is the money that I owe you
Yeah so you can pay the bills
I will give you more when I get paid again
I hate those people who love to tell you
Money is the root of all that kills
They have never been poor
They have never had the joy of a welfare Christmas
Oh, I know we will never look back, yeah
You say you wake up crying
Yes and you don't know why
You get up and you go lay down inside my baby's room
Yeah I guess I'm doing okay
I moved in with the strangest guy
Can you believe he actually thinks that I am really alive？
I will buy you a garden where your flowers can bloom
I will buy you a new car, perfect shiny and new
I will buy you that big house way up in the west hills
I will buy you a new life
Yes I will
Yes I know all about that other guy
The handsome man with athletic thighs
I know about all the times before
With that obsessive little rich boy
They might think you're happy
Yeah maybe for a minute or two
They can't make you laugh
No they can't make you feel the way that I do
I will buy you a garden where your flowers can bloom
I will buy you a new car, perfect shiny and new
I will buy you that big house way up in the west hills
I will buy you a new life, yeah
I will buy you a new life
I know we can never look back, yeah
Will you please let me stay the night
(No one will ever know)
Will you please let me stay the night
(No one will ever know)
No one will ever know!
(No one will ever know)
I will buy you a garden where your flowers can bloom
I will buy you a new car, perfect shiny and new
I will buy you that big house way up in the west hills
I will buy you a new life
I will buy you a new life
I will buy you a new life
