No-Dave Party (hidden track before He Who Laughs Last...) (instrumental song)
He Who Laughs Last...
No trust can be given freely, it's a valuable commodity,
but obviously this is something you've never learned. Faith is something
that you put in friends, and had I excess morals to lend, I'd let you borrow
them, but my trust you haven't earned. We've got a problem?
First of all there is no "we", I'm detached from you completely.
I've got a problem. You tell lies to my friends and think it won't
get back to me. No bond can ever seem to make a stable fit in our
relationship, but one thing that never comes between us is honesty.
When you have something to say, you always seem to find a way to avoid
the truth or instead, avoid me. We've got a problem? First
of all there is no "we", I'm detached from you completely. I've got
a problem. You tell lies to my friends and think it won't get back
to me. Straight up is how you'll see me stand, but it is never in
your plans to be straight forward, so instead, you use deceit. Now
I would like to take apart what you've been breaking from the start.
I'll remain intact, I won't be broken in defeat. We've got a problem?
First of all there is no "we", I'm detached from you completely.
I've got a problem. You tell lies to my friends and think it won't
get back to me. No trust!
File 13
I sleep until there is no light. I'm wide
awake all through the night. Dinner may suck but I'll take a bite,
I do whatever I can. My muscles stiffen through the day. Discomfort
never goes away. Someone should throw me away. I feel like
a garbage can. Throw me away, I've got no use. Throw me away,
I'm nothing to lose. Throw me away, I feel like shit. I am
useless. I know I know nothing at all. I'd take a stand, but
I know I'd fall. I'd run head-down into a wall and watch my blood
run faster. Girls laugh and pass me on the street. I spook
out everyone I meet. I've got pink toenails on my feet, I'm such
a fucking master. Throw me away, I've got no use. Throw me
away, I'm nothing to lose. Throw me away, I feel like shit.
I am useless. I never seem to feel well. I always seem to look
like hell. It seems like everyone can tell my mind is going numb.
My mom thinks I wear women's clothes. I get dogged on at all the
shows. It seems that everybody knows I look like a fucking bum.
Throw me away, I've got no use. Throw me away, I'm nothing to lose.
Throw me away, I feel like shit. I am useless.
Wake-Up Call
If I had my way I'd wish them away, but I can't
find the magic inside of me. I'll give my best, cause I can give
no more, but your problems aren't solved so easily. I'm not someone
that you should run to. I've been, often, as broken as you, more
often than you'd like me to. If I could heal all the pain that you
feel, I'd gladly cure all that ails you inside. Unfortunately, I
have no degree and I can not anesthetize. I'm not someone that you
should run to. I've been, often, as broken as you, more often than
you'd like me to. whoa! I wish that I could help you.
whoa! I can't even help myself. whoa! It seems you need
a saving grace and a savior's something I'm not. right! whoa!
I wish that I could help you. whoa! I can't even help myself.
whoa! It seems you need a saving grace and a savior's something I'm
not.
Cult Status
I'll turn you on and switch you right off.
I'll make sure you like what you see. Forget all that you once believed.
Now you will believe in me. Do you believe you make the choice, decide
what you hold most dear? In all opinions that you voice, it's my
voice that they all hear. I'll take your ideas and your values, I'll
make you turn them all around. I'll break you individuality, I'll
take you down. I'll seal shut your open eyes. I'll give you
a taste of the bland. Intoxicated you take me in. You'll never
feel the touch of my hand. I'll take your ideas and your values,
I'll make you turn them all around. I'll break you individuality,
I'll take you down. I'll turn you on and switch you right off.
I'll soothe your troubled mind. You'll never have to think again,
it's just a matter of lost time. I'll take your ideas and your values,
I'll make you turn them all around. I'll break you individuality,
I'll take you down. I'll take you down. I'll take you down.
Perfect Fit
What was it I was thinking, or was I even thinking
at all? When I think of what I thought back then, then I'm ashamed,
and I'm appalled that I gave up all I was so easily. Living your
life is not for me. I won't be sedated, I won't be sedated!
Give me a little taste and I know I won't want more. I won't be sedated,
stability is overrated. Give me the disorder I adore.
What was it you were thinking, or were you even thinking at all?
When I think of what you thought of me, I take offense, and I'm appalled
that you could discount all I love so easily. Living your life is
not for me. I won't be sedated, I won't be sedated! Give me
a little taste and I know I won't want more. I won't be sedated,
stability is overrated. Give me the disorder I adore. I can't
be a part, be a part, I can't be a part. I can't be a part, be a
part of your modern world. I've gotta be apart, be apart, I've gotta
be apart. I've gotta be apart. I can't grasp the values that
you hold. I can't be a part, be a part, I can't be a part.
I can't be a part, be a part of your modern world. I've gotta be
apart, be apart, I've gotta be apart. I've gotta be apart.
I can't grasp the values that you hold. I can't be a part, be a part,
I can't be a part. I can't be a part, be a part of your modern world.
I've gotta be apart, be apart, I've gotta be apart. I've gotta be
apart. I can't grasp your values!
Advances In Modern Technology
Every night I walk the streets, awake while everyone
else sleeps. I'm giving unease to anyone I meet. My generosity
can never run out, because I give a gift from what's within myself.
No hope at all. Take nothing from nothing and you'll have nothing
left. I can't recall. I can't recall a moment in my life when
life was at it's best. Everyone avoids my stare and no one cares
to ever dare to look into the eyes of what they most fear. And they're
taught to fear, to fear no evil. And they know no fear, they've learned
to love themselves. No hope at all. Take nothing from nothing
and you'll have nothing left. I can't recall. I can't recall
a moment in my life when life was at it's best. Forever unlucky,
cause I'll own tomorrow. Forever unwanted, outcast today. I'm
not mislead, I've got no one to follow. Everywhere to go, no place
to stay. No hope at all. Take nothing from nothing and you'll
have nothing left. I can't recall. I can't recall a moment
in my life when life was at it's best.
Theory Of Revolution
Don't want to think about it, but I see it every
day. Corrupted innocence just doesn't seem to fade away. Spoiled
so young, you know it's bound to last, but when you're living in the city,
you've gotta grow up fast. And it makes me sick. God, it makes
me sick. And it makes me sick. God, it makes me sick.
Don't want to think about it, but I see it every day. If you want
to buy affluence, your soul you'll have to pay. Wasting away the
prime of your life, but it's been done that way for years, so you know
it must be all right. And it makes me sick. God, it makes me
sick. And it makes me sick. God, it makes me sick. It's
just not right! Don't wanna think about it, but I see it every day.
With every sip and every shot, mind and bodies fade away. Friends
are all gone, and memories don't last, but when you've fallen off the wagon,
you seem to fall so damn fast.
This Secret Ninja
Just like cellophane, you try to cling so tight
to me, but your attempt's in vain. You've less sincerity than the
plastic. Paper in the rain. The print appears so bright to
me. The words remain. I hold it to the light, I see right through.
So eager to say, "hello", but you don't know me. You just know what
you see. Pay the price to see the show but you don't own me.
Before you knew would you have felt the same? Just when I'm inspired,
you drain the drive right outta me, and even when I'm tired you push me
to perform for your amusement. Just like raging fire, you burn what's
left inside of me and to fulfill your desire, I'd give you light till I
burned out. So eager to say, "hello", but you don't know me.
You just know what you see. Pay the price to see the show but you
don't own me. Before you knew would you have felt the same?
No! Just when you start to smile, I look into your eyes and see your
veiled denial to express any real emotion. Just wait around a while,
you'll lose what you once had for me. I'll be out of style, I'll
be discarded with the warmth you once feigned. So eager to say, "hello",
but you don't know me. You just know what you see. Pay the
price to see the show but you don't own me. Before you knew would
you have felt the same?
Soap Box Derby
I'm not angry, I'm just amused at your quest for
attention through your self abuse. The only response that you get
for your plea is sorely less than sympathy. What reason is there
to be alive? When the world is against you how can you survive?
All your friends are apathetic at best, and your entire life is a total
mess. Give it a fuckin' rest. You can't, you can't feel me.
I feel I'm scarred so deep. No one could ever need me. Could
you please leave me alone? I'm sorry to hear that your world's sinking
fast and you've lost your stable ground and I'm sorry to add to your disappointment,
but I won't be brought down. I'm not angry, I'm just amused at all
the dramatics that you love to use, but one thing I have noticed that is
strange to me is that you're not happy unless you're unhappy. You're
not content until you're brought down, and you're always so alone because
you can't be found. You're soul is black and you're filled with hate.
How much more can you possibly take? Give me a fuckin' break.
You can't, you can't feel me. I feel I'm scarred so deep. No
one could ever need me. Could you please leave me alone? You
can't, you can't feel me. I feel I'm scarred so deep. No one
could ever need me. Could you please leave me alone? I'm sorry
to hear that your world's sinking fast and you've lost your stable ground
and I'm sorry to add to your disappointment, but I won't be brought down.
Aspirin Free
There's no hope of helping us, we've only just
begun. We're youth eternal, nothing more to become. A thousand
lights are burning bright. Give day a darkened light. Always
burning from both ends. We're proud of reputations we all own.
Together forever. Rejected but never alone. Together forever.
I'd purify the world with one primal scream, but no one would listen.
Keep dark secrets to myself, because no one else will talk to me.
It's hard for me to comprehend, they couldn't understand all the thoughts
going through our heads. With a smile they tore us up, now look what
we've become. Finally we are numb. We're proud of reputations
we all own. Together forever. Together forever alone.
Together forever. I'd purify the world with one primal scream, but
no one would listen. Keep dark secrets to myself, because no one
else will talk to me. I'd purify the world with one primal scream,
but no one would listen. Keep dark secrets to myself, because no
one else will talk to me. No need to. No! No need to
feel. I've got a nothingness and that's all that's real. No
need to cut the numbness inside. No need to. No! No need
to hear. What you've got to say means nothing at all. I've
got no distance left to fall. I'd purify the world with one primal
scream, but no one would listen. Keep dark secrets to myself, because
no one else will talk to me.
Fishbowl
I'm here today, just like every yesterday.
Heavy heat, and the sheets stick to my skin. Can't get away from
nothingness. I try to get up, but I have to give into the force that
is keeping me down. I overcome gravity, I look outside. A cat
cries out, trapped upon a window sill, but its crying's drowned out by
my screaming inside. What will it take? I wonder what it's
like exposed outside, would I be safe? When will it break.
Try to look out, I see reflection I just want to break. Sirens moan.
They're forever crying... someone's probably dying. The sound sticks
inside my head. Talk to myself, I'm company, but who is to say if
nothing is said? Two windows stare back at me. Three stories
high and nothing is new. I may sit, but someday I'll stand.
I'll muster up the will and fire myself through. What will it take?
I wonder what it's like exposed outside, would I be safe? When will
it break. Try to look out, I see reflection I just want to break.
What will it take? I wonder what it's like exposed outside, would
I be safe? When will it break. Try to look out, I see reflection
I just want to break.

You've seen it all a thousand times (you've seen
it all a thousand times), you've heard it all before (you've heard it all
before). You've danced the steps, you wrote the rhymes. So
passé, too many times, but you're hollow at the core. Two
generations passed you by (two generations passed you by). You think
there's nothing left (you think there's nothing left). But look around
and you will see what our world has grown to be. We are the now,
not the past. Can't you even try to see the strength with which we've
built ourselves to be. I know that you will never be able to destroy
what it's meant to me. You've never seen the likes of us (you've
never seen the likes of us). We are your novelty (we are your novelty).
A brand new trend with mass appeal, don't like the truth, don't like what's
real. You're jumping into something you'll never understand.
You think that it's a passing phase (you think that it's a passing phase).
It's our entire life (it's our entire life). You revel in rebellious
ways, rebellion that the media made. When you change your channel,
we'll smash your t.v. Can't you even try to see the strength with
which we've built ourselves to be. I know that you will never be
able to destroy what it's meant to me. Can't you even try to see

Crop Tub
Fuck you very much. You say you want to be
friends, start over, try again? Well, things will never be the way
they were back then. Things were never how you wanted, I couldn't
think of you that way. Now, if you take one step closer I will take
two steps away. Maybe you need affection, I'd like to help you but
I can't stand when you're around. Fuck you very much. Maybe
you need to talk, but you betrayed my trust. Friends was not good
enough? Fuck you very much. You can always claim you're straight-edge,
go ahead and dye your hair. You won't get more attention from me,
cause I will never fucking care. I try to remain secret, shooting
away and hiding out, but you always track me down. Open your eyes
and figure it out. Maybe you need affection, I'd like to help you
but I can't stand when you're around. Fuck you very much. Maybe
you need to talk, but you betrayed my trust. Friends was not good
enough? Fuck you very much. I'm not trying again. I'm
sick of seeing you. Don't wanna be your friend. I wish you'd
go away. Fuck you very much. You say you want to be friends,
start over, try again? Well, things will never be the way they were

Consult My Lover
You've got something to say, or so you say to me,
then you receive a blank stare. You've got something to say of importance
and gosh, that's really good to hear. I'm proud of you, so proud
of you, I'm proud of you, I'm very proud of you. I'm proud of you,
so proud of you, I'm proud of you, I'm very proud of you. You've
got some S.P. Something to show to me. Well, I have seen it
before. I can't compete, I can't impress you. I guess I'll
show you the door. I'm proud of you, so proud of you, I'm proud of
you, I'm very proud of you. I'm proud of you, so proud of you, I'm
proud of you, I'm very proud of you. I'm proud of you, so proud of

Take The Test
When it comes the time that you have recognized
your line and you realize the path that you will travel through your life.
be sure that what you want is exactly what you're trying to get, or you'll
be speeding toward a cliff without realizing that... Before you know, the
haze makes you slow. Ignore your future, forget your past.
before you know, cars start to crash. There are so many choices,
the opportunities abound. Just be sure to keep things straight and
be sure to stand your ground. Let nothing shade your vision, even
fight to keep it clear. Let no one change what's right for you, for
when you start to veer. Before you know, the haze makes you slow.
Ignore your future, forget your past. before you know, cars start

Two Of A Kind
Hangin' out and lingerin' around, cause you know
where I'll be found and I don't know how you do it. This obsession
I must admit has shaken me up a bit. My solidarity now only comes
in pairs. I'd like to see you before you see me. I'd like to
see you. I'd like to see you leave. Showered by torrential
praise, why it is I can't explain. Attempts to leave yield no avail.
For me I don't know what's in store. All I want is nothing more.
I don't deserve what I get, I have nothing to return. I'd like to
see you before you see me. I'd like to see you. I'd like to
see you leave. I'd like to see you before you see me. I'd like
to see you. I'd like to see you leave.
Shatty Fatmas
Don't care to hear what you heard. I won't
believe a single word. Don't care to hear what you say. I won't
believe it anyway. You relay fiction, facts you avoid. You're
just like a fucking tabloid, you can never seem to get your information
straight. Tell me something I don't know. Your information's
fucking faux. Don't you have somewhere to go? Your mouth is
quick, your mind is slow. Don't want to know what you know.
I just want you to fucking go. Don't want to know what you believe.
I just wish that you would leave. You try to cajz everyday, I wish
that you would get away. You can never seem to get your information
straight. Tell me something I don't know. Your information's
fucking faux. Don't you have somewhere to go? Your mouth is
quick, your mind is slow. Go! When you try to hang around,
I'd really like to push you down. When you try to understand, I don't
really think that you can. You relay fiction, facts you avoid.

Yürf Rendenmein
You keep on sayin' that you want to know me but
you never show me your true self. How can you ever expect someone
else to know you when all you're going to do is just pretend that you're
someone else? You keep on sayin' that you want to show me that you're
really different, but your just the same. If you're really mindless
then there is no way that I can win, maybe you're just one of them, or
maybe it's just a game. You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself.
You lie to yourself and remain alone. You lie to yourself.
You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself and remain alone.
Remain alone. Remain alone. I'm not exactly sure of your motivation.
I'm not exactly sure what you're tryin' to do. All I'm really sure
is that you're not too impressive and you're wearin' a mask that I can't
see through. Maybe you're not looking for acceptance. Maybe
you're striving for something more. If it's status that you lust
then why try to be one of us? You're someone we'll never trust cause
we know the score. You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself.
You lie to yourself and remain alone. You lie to yourself.
You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself and remain alone.
Remain alone. You remain alone. Oh! I can't see through.
I can't see you. I can't see through. I can't see you.
Cruise Control
I will never want to date you while I can learn
to hate you. If you somehow learn to love me, well, that's just my
luck. I would never ever care if you only wanted my friendship, but
somehow you're disappointed that I'm not a slut. I don't want to
fuck you. I don't want to fuck you. I don't want to fuck you,
so fuck you. In my mind there is no doubt that you've been in and
out of many different backseats, many times before. I can always
see your defeat when I won't leave the front seat. Now it seems your
disappointed that I'm not a whore. I don't want to fuck you.
I don't want to fuck you. I don't want to fuck you, so fuck you.
I don't want to fuck you. I don't want to fuck you. I don't
want to fuck you. I don't want to fuck you. I don't want to
fuck you. I don't want to fuck you, so fuck you. I don't want
to fuck you. I don't want to fuck you. I (I don't want to fuck

Modern Epic
Yeah I can see it coming. I've seen it all
before. I've seen it once or twice and now I hear it call to board.
This train is moving fast but how long is it gonna last. I guess
that we'll find out as well go in through the out door. Don't, don't
ever let go. Don't, don't ever let go. Is this the start?
Is this the end? New faces ask, "what's happening?" I bite
my tongue and hold my breath and tell them, "the same old thing."
I don't know what's going on, but I don't wanna do it wrong. Don't
wanna contradict myself with all the words I sing. Don't, don't ever
let go. Don't, don't ever let go. Let's go! Don't, don't
ever let go. Don't, don't ever let go. Don't ever let go.
Don't ever let go.
Who Said You Could Touch Me? (vinyl version only)
You don't know I am so, you can not get close to
me and I don't know who you are, so just leave me alone. I know you
can't believe the anxiety you're causing me and I know you can't believe
your fake compassion I don't need. Get away from me. You're
standing too close. Keep your hands off of me. Keep away from
me. Just leave me alone. Who said you could touch me anyway?
Don't try to rub my shoulders and don't try to hold my hand. Don't
try to give me a fucking hug. You crawl on me as if I were your very
best of friends. I don't even know your name. Get away from
me. You're standing too close. Keep your hands off of me.
Keep away from me. Just leave me alone. Who said you could
touch me anyway? 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. ah!
Rolling Balls (vinyl version only)
Bowling is my life and it has always been my dream
to be a member of the local bowling team, but I'm not very good.
The guys won't accept me, I guess I try the girls team and lose a part
of my anatomy then balls will roll. I think I want to be... Balls
will roll, I think it's time, it's time for me to be a girl. It's
a very big decision, it's going to change my life. I'll have to make
all new friends, I'm gonna lose my wife. But that's okay with me.
There's something in my soul. It doesn't matter who's the better
man, it the man who gets to bowl. Balls will roll. I think
I want to be... Balls will roll, I think it's time, it's time for me to
be a girl. Go! I've made my decision, I'm gonna make the change.
There will be rolling balls, I'm gonna play my game. It's gonna be
so great. It's gonna be the best, besides, I've always told myself
I look good in a dress. I'm gonna cut 'em off, I'm gonna cut 'em
off, I'm gonna cut 'em off. I'll never have to cough. Now I've
made my change and I've fulfilled my dream. I'm now a member of the
women's bowling team. I hope I throw a strike, cause I'll never score
again. My first game is tomorrow, I will go to play and then...
Balls will roll. I think I want to be... Balls will roll, I think
it's time, it's time for me to be.

Ah! You think you've got the looks, you think
you've got the fashion. You thought you'd have me wanting more, but

ever thinking how. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.
I hate you. You think you're really special. You think I think
you're best. You think you're really something? You're no better

yourself be fooled. You thought that you could play the game, but
I just changed the rules. I hate you. I hate you. I hate
you. I hate you. I hate you. you! Why do I hate
you? You think you've got the looks, you think you've got the fashion.
You thought you'd have me wanting more, but don't like my reaction.
