Under Construction!

• Shooting Stars
  Just one taste and you'll know what you gotta do
  Say goodbye to a new career you ain't going back to school
  You've got nothing to fall back on
  Just yer torn up parents jeans
  You've gotta keep it all together
  While you're splitting at the seams
  (at the seams)
  
  Chorus:
  The life of a shooting star
  The life of a shooting star
  Rising up from a skid row bar
  Getting drunk off the cover charge
  Rising fast and crashing hard like shooting stars
  
  You've got blurry vision so you're aiming for the world
  It's the only thing you know, you take a shot on rock'n'roll
  You've got nothing to fall back on
  Broken homes on a dead-end street
  You've gotta keep those people coming to hear you scream
  (to hear you scream)
  
  Rep't Chorus
  
  Do you know what you are?
  Do you know what you are?
  You're a shooting star etc.
  
  Rep't chorus to end
  
  
  
• Retro World:
  This ain't nothing really new
  I said everything's been tried and true
  Everything's been said and done 1000 times before
  
  Nothing really goes out of style
  I said it only goes away for a little while
  Only to come charging right on through your door
  
  So hey! Whatcha gonna do
  Hey! To keep yourself amused
  Hey! What can you do when everything's been used
  
  Chorus:
  Round and round and around it goes
  Where it stops, no one knows
  Nothing really changes it's a Retro World
  Here it comes, baby, there it goes
  It's getting harder to shoot my load
  Nothing's really dangerous just a Retro World
  Go!
  
  No future dreams for you and me
  A never-ending life of repeats
  Forced to live out past mistakes again and again
  
  This ain't nothing really new
  I said everything's just tried and true
  Sure the name may change but the product's still the same
  
  So hey! Whatcha gonna do
  Hey! To keep yourself abused
  Hey! What can you do when everything's been used
  
  Rep't Chorus
  
  
• Bombs Not Food:
  She said "You're always broke"
  I said "Well duh, I know"
  She said "I guess I'd better go"
  
  I've got empty pockets and an empty head
  the empty feeling of an empty bed
  I guess our relationship is dead
  
  Now I'm on my own
  and I'm living all alone
  Now I'm truly broke
  I'm as broke as I can be...
  
  Chorus:
  Can't afford to live
  Can't afford to die
  Can't afford to laugh
  Can't afford to cry
  I can't afford you in my life
  Can't afford to love
  Can't afford to lie
  Can't afford to live
  Can't afford to die
  I can't afford you in my life
  
  They said "It only goes to show"
  I said "Well duh, I know"
  They said "Well we told you so"
  I got an empty bottle in an empty room
  an empty stomach crying bombs not food
  I guess our relationship was doomed
  
  Now I'm on my own
  and I'm living far from home
  Now I'm truly broke
  I'm as broke as I can be...
  
  rep't chorus
  Can't afford to end
  Can't afford to start
  Can't afford to mend
  My fucking heart
  Don't you know it's tearing me apart
  
  
• For You:
  Some things are hard to explain
  And even harder to say
  So I tried to put my feelings into words
  It was the stupidest thing I've ever heard
  
  Chorus:
  'Cause I don't got no love songs
  No I don't got no love songs
  No I don't got no love songs
  For you
  
  I don't need to tell you how I feel
  For you to know my heart's for real
  So there's nothing right now I'd rather do
  Than shut my big mouth just for you
  
  Chorus:
  'Cause I don't got no love songs
  No I don't got no love songs
  No I don't got no love songs
  For you
  
  Girl, I stayed up all night long
  But everything just came out wrong
  I know one and one makes two
  But I don't got no love songs for you
  Shove off!
  
  Chorus:
  'Cause I don't got no love songs
  No I don't got no love songs
  No I don't got no love songs
  For you
  
  
  'Cause I don't got no love songs
  No stupid nazi love songs
  No I don't got no love songs
  For you!
  For you!
  For you!
  For you!
  
  
• Sad Boy
  Deep in your heart you can't be wrong
  Lost in that feeling way too strong
  They say you're going nowhere
  'Cause that's as far as their eyes can see
  And in that case you'd best be leaving
  
  Chorus
  There's no need to cry
  Tears will only weigh you down
  There's no need to die
  So alone and proud
  Take a look around
  I'll be drinking by your side
  We're all comitting suicide
  In the death of the night
  The death of the night...
  
  You know you've got a long way to go
  And everybody says you're far too slow
  But you're moving faster than they can see
  Yeah you're moving faster, baby...
  
  Rep't Chorus
  
  You say you wanna live
  Well you've gotta give it baby
  You say you're gonna give
  Well you give it until you bleed
  You've gotta give it to me
  
  Rep't Chorus There's no need to cry
  You were just hitchin' a ride baby
  There's no need to Die
  She had her legs open wide and you said...
  There's no need to cry
  Let me come inside baby
  There's no need to Die
  In the death of the night
  
  
• Fucked From The Start
  Well I'm a modern-day minority
  Ain't got no culture or history
  But what you get's really what you see
  
  I've got 5-finger discount clothes
  Bloody fingers and a runny nose
  but this ain't the path I chose
  
  Chorus:
  'Cause I was fucked from the start
  Like a modern piece of art
  Standing on the corner out in the dark
  
  Yeah I was fucked from the start
  like a dirty needle in Pigeon Park
  maybe I was just fucked from the start
  
  I refuse to pay my dues
  So fuck the world and fuck you too
  don't waste my energy
  'cause you aint got the bandages I need...
  
  Rep't Chorus
  
  I was fucked I was so fucked up
  I was shit outta luck
  It ain't my fault that the boy's gone nuts
  I was just so fucked up
  
  Chorus:
  'Cause I was fucked from the start
  I wanna tear myself apart
  As I grab the knife and begin to carve
  
  Yeah I was fucked from the start
  I've got two black eyes and a blacker heart
  maybe I was just fucked from the start
  Baby I was fucked...
  
  
• B.S.F.
  I was an easy victim
  I wasn't really living
  I guess I looked like her type
  She didn't put up much of a fight
  
  She didn't even know me
  She wanted to control me
  It'd been so long since she'd been fed
  she sunk her teeth right through my neck
  
  Blood Sucking Freak
  She drained the life from me like a
  Blood Sucking Freak
  She's just a leech
  1...2...3...4
  Go!
  
  She said because she liked me
  Well she was gonna keep me
  Hanging around like a piece of meat
  Waiting for her to come feast
  So now I'm fully seasoned
  Ready for eating
  She picks at me all through the night
  I guess she's never satisfied
  
  Rep't Chorus
  
• Dog Day
  Well you were dressed for success
  But they were not impressed
  By your runaway fashion show
  Rejected and turned down
  Wrong place, wrong crowd
  Little girl you're not alone
  
  You've got a winning personality
  Being you sure ain't no crime
  It's so hard to find anyone genuine
  It's a world of fakes and cheaters
  Being true blue ain't no crime
  You gotta hold on to your pride
  And you'll make it in your sweet time
  
  Chorus:
  So C'mon (c'mon)
  C'mon (c'mon)
  You've gotta shake those tears away
  So C'mon (c'mon)
  C'mon (c'mon)
  Every dog must have it's day
  So C'mon (c'mon)
  C'mon (c'mon)
  You've gotta shake your fears away
  So C'mon (c'mon)
  C'mon (c'mon)
  Every dog must have it's day
  You'll have your day...okay!
  
  You've got your brand-new friends
  They were just pretend
  They were only fooling youse
  You gave them your all
  They bluffed, you called
  Little girl you ain't no fool
  
  You've got individuality
  Being you sure ain't no crime
  It's so hard to find anyone genuine
  It's a world of mindless losers
  Being lonely ain't no crime
  You gotta hold that head up high
  And you'll make it in your sweet time
  
  Rep't Chorus
  
• Tracks
  You had tragic 8-ball eyes
  But you laughed at your demise
  like it was a joke
  
  All goosed up, suburban trash
  Your arms are tied, you're failing fast
  You couldn't let go
  
  Let's go get some Chinese Rocks
  Chatterbox you squawk a lot
  You'd better get off the phone
  
  It's a Sad Vacation without you
  You hurt me baby but I love you
  All by myself, I'm so alone
  
  Too much way too soon
  the Junkie Business you do
  You made damn sure you were Born to Lose
  
  Chorus:
  Tracks are all you left for me
  After you O.D.'d
  I can't put my arms around your memory
  After you oh...after you O.D.'d
  
  like a Subway Train with a One Track Mind
  Goin' Steady Downtown Pipeline
  You'd better Go Back To Go
  
  In Cold Blood, Dead Or Alive
  JeyBoy you don't seem so high
  Ask Me No Questions, I'll tell you no lies
  
  Let's go get some Chinese Rocks
  Yeah Chatterbox you talked that talk
  But there ain't nobody home
  
  It's a Sad Vacation, yeah it's true
  You Hurt Me Johnny but I Love You
  But you just screamed 'Leave Me Alone'
  
  Too Much way Too Soon
  All the Voodoo You Do
  You made damned sure you were Born To Lose
  
  rep't chorus
  
  You O.D.'d
  Yeah you O.D.'d
  Down in New Orleans
  You fucking died junkie!
  
  
• The Worst Things
  Falling in love is like donating blood
  One person gives and the other one sucks
  No one feels the hopelessness 'till it's gone
  
  You take the beat baby, I'll take the blame
  Reach for your heart and I'll leave you in pain
  I'll keep you entertained until dawn
  
  I'm looking for something new to take
  You're looking for something new to break
  If you want something safe
  This ain't the place
  
  'Cause I'm looking at a target straight through you
  And all the damage I can do
  
  Chorus:
  The worst things I can do...
  to you
  
  This ain't no gamble it's a fight to survive
  You've got to live like you've got luck on your side
  I lay it all on the line
  'Cause you're mine
  
  You want the truth but you're caught in the lie
  And no one really gives a shit if we die
  If you want some proof
  Just look in their eyes
  
  They're looking for something new to take
  You're looking for something new to break
  If you want something safe
  This ain't the place
  
  'Cause we're looking at a target right through you
  And all the damage we can do
  
  All the worst things I can do
  That's what I'll do to you
  'Cause I've fallen in love with you
  And that's the worst thing I can do
  
  
• Some Things Never Fall
  
  So here, yes here we stand
  Clenching our hands
  Backed up, backed up against the wall
  
  These times they move too fast
  I'm left in the past
  But those things, those things never last
  
  I don't really wonder why
  Some things live & some things die
  I don't really think about what it's really all about
  
  And I say yes
  We'll show them all
  Some things never fall
  
  My friends they're all left for dead
  The words they said
  They ain't so easy to forget
  
  My mind just slips away
  My brain decays
  I'm getting dumber every day
  
  
• No Tomorrow Girls
  
  I said "boy don't you be naive
  get off your knees
  that ain't no way to dance"
  
  You see them walking down the street
  the queens of queens you'd love to meet
  but you know you ain't got a chance
  
  and you'd love to take one home
  but they'll leave you all alone
  they come and they go
  they're no tomorrow girls
  
  like chasing a sweet silhouette
  the closer you get
  the less you understand
  
  you see them dancing in a club
  they're drinking rye you're drunk on love
  but you know you ain't got a chance
  
  and you'd love to take one home
  but they'll leave you all alone
  they come and they go
  they're no tomorrow girls
  
  yesterday's a passing phase
  see them pass you by
  the future's shining brightly in their thighs
  In their thighs
  In your eyes
  
  and you'd love to take one home
  but they'll leave you all alone
  they come and they go
  they're no tomorrow girls
  they live for rock'n'roll
  they're wild without control
  the only ones I know
  are no tomorrow girls
  
  
• Jane Doe
  
  Just like a scab on the streets
  I see you bleeding from your alley
  and all you thought it would be
  sorry baby you can't have me
  
  'cause you're sinkin' so low you're going down
  you're sinking so low that
  yeah you're sinkin' so low you can't be found
  you're going down yeah
  
  and you're saying to me
  (and you're saying to me)
  you really want a better way of living
  (a better way of living)
  but it seems to me
  (and it seems to me)
  all you need is a better grip on life
  and you're saying to me
  (and you're saying to me)
  you really want a better way of living
  (a better way of living)
  but it seems to me
  (and it seems to me)
  that all you've got is a better way to die
  
  you're nothing special to me
  I can't take you but I can leave you
  and all you thought it would be
  sorry baby I can't save you
  
  
• Capt. Moody
  
  These tides are the best I've known
  Never knowing when they'll come
  or when they'll go
  
  Drinking all the time
  Never knowing if I'm sick
  or if I'm feeling fine
  
  Sometimes they drag me down below
  But even then I never let it show
  
  Like a drunk at sea
  or a king without a home
  Man overboard
  Overthrown
  
  Girls, I've sailed a few
  I've faced the toughest storms alive
  and I pulled through
  
  Like pirates in modern times
  taking gold, booze and tattoos
  and any friends I find
  
  sometimes I feel like Davey Jones
  but even then I never sink down low
  
  Like a drunk at sea
  or a king without a home
  Man overboard
  Overthrown
  
  Like a drunk at sea
  I'm drifting on my own
  Man overboard
  Overthrown
  
  
• Last Of The 1%'ers
  
  An undergound legend passed through the present
  a drop-out degenerate torn like a trash bin
  who broke down before the big-time production
  and all the money went just to build a dying monument
  
  1%, 1%, it's the 1%
  of you that I represent
  1%, 1%, it's the 1%
  of you that I don't resent now
  
  An unknown messiah, fact or fiction
  dropped down from heaven condemned to this hell again
  nailed to the cross by big-time religion
  but no one remembers just how the story went
  
  We all die alone
  
  this makes me that 1%
  
  
• Lost In The '90's
  
  In the back of a record store
  Piled up on the killing floor
  Vinyl veterans who went to war
  when they was in their teens
  
  In the back of a record store
  piled up on the dirty floor
  all the songs I'd love to hear
  but I don't hear anymore
  
  Now in the darkest hour
  on the front all is not silent
  But I can still hear
  Chuck Berry's guitar scream
  
  I never wanted this to be true
  no, no, no
  I never wanted this...
  Wanted this for you
  
  It's been deleted baby
  It's been deleted maybe
  It's been deleted from your world
  
  Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper
  Ritchie Valens, all my forefathers
  All died for nothing
  or so it seems
  
  In the clubs the disco's still pumping
  on the floor the kids are all humping
  but I can't help but shed a tear
  when Little Richard screams
  
  I never wanted it to end like this
  I never wanted it to end
  Goodbye to my first kiss
  Hello loneliness
  Goodbye my friends
  
  
• Underground
  
  It's nothing you can wear
  the fascist anti-fashion jades me
  and no one's running scared
  I wanna smash the mold that made me
  
  Somehow I think it's all gone wrong
  'cause now I find myself in a world where I belong
  and I won't be staying long
  
  'cause the underground ain't underground no more
  no the underground ain't underground no more
  and I don't know what's in store
  but to me we all look bored
  'cause the underground ain't underground no more
  
  There's nothing left to prove
  everybody's nuts and bleeding
  my pain has been abused
  It sounds the same but it's lost the feeling
  
  Somehow I think we lost our way
  'cause now I find myself in a world afraid to hate
  and I just can't relate
  
  'cause the underground ain't underground no more
  no the underground ain't underground no more
  and I don't know what's in store
  It's become their corporate whore
  'cause the underground ain't underground no more
  
  'cause the underground ain't underground no more
  no the underground ain't underground no more
  and I don't know what's in store
  look at me I'm fucking bored
  'cause the underground ain't underground no more
  
  
• Sell-Out Love
  
  She was lying in bed
  with a pain in her head
  they called
  the Rock'n'Roll explosion
  
  When the radio played it
  for a great new wave
  all the gears went through
  the motions
  
  And all the pretty boys started
  to look so cool
  And all the ugly girls knew
  there was one thing left to do
  
  Sell-Out
  Sell-out your loving to me
  Sell-out, Sell-out your love
  
  She was standing alone
  at the sold-out show
  when she made the observation
  
  through the crowd screamed for more
  she could not ignore
  the band's degeneration
  
  And all the pretty boys started to look so cool
  And all the ugly girls knew
  there was nothing left to do
  
  Sell-Out
  Sell-out your loving to me
  Sell-out, Sell-out your love
  
  Sell-out
  You're just a sell-out love
  You're just a sell-out love
  
  
• 50 Bourbon St
  
  If there's a Lover's Graveyard
  I'm sure she's digging me a grave
  I'm sure my marker will read
  "World's Biggest Sucker For a Pretty Face"
  Every time I think I've finally found my mate
  she feels scared or she feels trapped
  and eventually escapes
  
  So now I'm loving the bottle
  I'm trying to kill the pain
  lips wrapped around it like the end of a gun
  I'm gonna drink her love away
  
  Yeah, love is for losers
  the greatest lovers were fools
  love will pick you up and bury you down in the dumps
  it'll make a cold stiff one out of you
  
  I don't know why I fall for it
  it's so cliche
  life's some kind of twisted game
  I just can't help but play
  
  I'm a pawn and they're all queens
  they know all the secret moves
  and just when I think I've won
  they always go and change the rules
  
  Yeah, love's like a bar-tab
  You just drink it away
  It just keeps on building up
  and in the endyou've gotta pay
  
  so now I'm hitting on a waitress
  I keep calling her "nurse"
  love will leave you like an empty glass
  when you're dying of thirst
  
  Can I have just one more beer nurse?
  Can't you see I'm dying here now nurse?
  Can't you see I'm too dry for tears now nurse?
  Oh, nurse...
  Can I have just one more beer nurse?
  
  Yeah if you need to find me
  Well you know where I've been
  I'm commiting suicide
  down at 50 Bourbon Street
  
  50 Bourbon
  50 Bourbon
  50 Bourbon
  50 Bourbon Street
  
  
• Start The Violence
  
  We're sick of starving
  we're sick of being snubbed
  gave up on love
  'cause we've been hurt enough
  
  we're just trying to make our way
  but there's too many obstacles in our way
  that there ain't no other way
  
  we're just trying to break through
  but the wall's so goddamn thick
  that talking just won't do...
  
  and I say
  whoa no start the violence
  baby what's the deal
  
  the little voices
  they keep on calling us
  the record states
  it's time to turn it up
  
  we're just trying to make our way
  we keep meeting problems face to face
  and there ain't no other way
  
  we're just trying to break through
  but you're all so goddamn thick
  that talking just won't do
  
  
• No Class Reunion
  
  It's been so long since I've been here
  It seems like years since I've seen you my dear
  
  all those days are gone
  did you find what you were looking for?
  is your life complete?
  or is it missing me?
  
  If you wanna get it
  you gotta get it while it's still young
  If you wanna get it
  get it on
  
  It's so damn nice to see you here
  I remember every face as if it was only yesterday
  
  and it feels so good
  feeling up your old neighborhood
  everything has changed
  but one thing remains
  
  If you wanna get it
  you gotta get it while it's still young
  If you wanna get it
  get it on
  
  If you wanna get it
  you gotta get it while it's still fun
  If you wanna get it
  get it on
