Manifest Destiny Pt. 1
one, two, three, four
you're on to something good
but I can't believe that's all
that matters to you
a fool
who never seems happy
when things are great
too late
before you can think
the thought has entered your mind
and it will be back soon

Bound For The Floor
born to be down
I've learned all my lessons before now
born to be down
I think you'll get used to it
and you just don't get it
you keep it copasetic
and you learn to accept it
you know it's so pathetic
and you just don't get it
you keep it copasetic
and you learn to accept it
you know it's so pathetic
and you don't
and you don't
and you don't
and you don't
born to be down
I think that I've said this before now
Born to be down
What good is confidence
And you just don't get it
you keep it copasetic
And you learn to accept it
You know it's so pathetic
and you don't
Lovey Dovey
Don't you hate it when people are in love they're so
They're so happy so goddamned happy
Don't you hate it when people are in love they're so
They're so happy so fucking happy
I wanna cut you down
because it's not fair
that you're so crystal clear
and glassy-eyed in love
Dave and Heather you see them fighting all the time
I kind of like that I kind of need that
because I just hate it when people are in love they're so
They're so happy so goddamned happy
Don't you hate it
I Saw What You Did and I Know Who You Are
Maybe the life I've left
is coming back for me
Maybe to beat you maybe it's twisted ham fisted
I'll cheat you
Imparting the words to impeach you
it's all right
Maybe wanna play
This one is turning sour
by the hour
No Problem
And I'd like to think that it's out of fear
When you blow into town maybe twice a year
To check on me see if I'm still here
And you make me think that it's my idea
You've never felt a sense of need
Everything in the world for free
It comes to you so easily
It's never been that way for me
You had me but it's over now
You had me but it's over now
It's no problem
And I'm not really sure why I let you win
Or even why I let it begin
I've always been an easy in
And easy out the door again
And I know it's only because you're down
That you'd ever want to come around
Just a little secret in a little town
You had me but it's over now
You'll get my attention again somehow
It's no problem
Nothing Special
A one trick pony in a one horse town
You're feeling lonely and the cable's down
You feel like the only freak in this town
What's wrong with you
What's wrong with me
We've got a life of scratching tickets
at the local gas and stop
So suck on another whippit
and hear the brain cells pop
I know I'm nothing special
I know I'm nothing great
I know I'm nothing different
But I just don't feel the same
What's wrong with me
Can you feel the radiation
dragging your sister down
You won't feel the alienation
you'll never leave this town
I know I'm nothing special
I know I'm nothing great
I know I'm nothing different
But I just don't feel the same
What's wrong with me
and I could be happy with less I guess
if they tell me that less is more
They set a place for me at the table
I won't be hungry anymore
I know I'm nothing special
I know I'm nothing great
I know I'm nothing different
But I just don't feel the same
What's wrong with me
Eddie Vedder
Quarters on the eyes
Rejected Sacrifice
Cauterized at best
Failing your litmus test
I know it's dumb to say
But turnabout's fair play
Always knew that you
Were suffering a fool
You go ahead as good as dead
Okay I understand
But I don't want to be your friend
I don't need another friend
I've got too many friends
If I was Eddie Vedder
Would you like me any better
That's it I quit I don't give a shit
You go ahead as good as dead
Coming to a head
You're as good as dead
Back in the Day
Well, punk is dead
and, yeah, you're next
but it seems no one has told you yet
So hardcore
You must be sore
You come on like a major threat
Face I know you like it
Hard 'N' straight
Face Think I'll hang around and wait
Hey, old school yeah, you were cool
But that was back in the day
Well, take a bow
Harder than thou
You scream guilty like a Judge on high
Well, beat them back
the New Jacks
More than music it's a way of life
Face
Freeze Dried (F)Lies
Abusive excuses are all I have to hold
Use and reuse to explain why I'm so cold
One for headaches
One for stress
But the one for fear's the one I like best
Abusive excuses they save me every time
The slow slide down
You never can see it
The slow slide down
You always believe it
Destructive impulses and cowardice and lies
Buzzing back to life like freeze dried flies
Flies for love
and flies for sex
But the flies for fear are flies I like best
Impulsive destruction is where my talent lies
The slow slide down
You're trying to change me
It's all my fault
But you never blame me
It's in everything we do
One for love
and one for sex
But the one for fear's the one I like best
This act is a bore but it makes me who I am
The slow slide down
You never can see it
My act is a bore
You always believe it
It's in everything we do
Fritz's Corner
I'm not mad
I'm just bored
And everything I do is only because
There's nothing much else for me to do
And that includes you
Messing around with you
Piss away potential
Everyday is a waste
And I'm wasted everyday
There's nothing much else for me to do
And that includes you and that includes you
Messing around with you
You see me now a little bit clearer
the face I make when I'm looking in the mirror
it gives me away
the things that I say
You think you know where I'm coming from
the words I say when I'm playing dumb
it gives me away
it gives me away
one more thing before we go
I've stepped over everyone I know
everyone I know
you see me now a little bit clearer
the face I make when I'm looking in the mirror
it gives me away
you think you know where I'm coming from
the words I say when I'm playing dumb
it gives me away
it gives me away
it gives me away
I'm always ashamed
I'm always ashamed
and that's no way to be
O.K.
Drawing a collective breath
I could cry myself to death
and wash this all away
In a flash you were gone
leaving me a couple of songs
that I listen to everyday
and I don't even care
that you were so unfair
I worshipped one time at your feet
save up our tears
catalogue all our fears
give into the stretching years
your words hit me just last night
when I saw it with the after sight
what was on your mind
too late to ever change
things go a little bit strange
you were too far behind
and the reasons I have to live
are the reasons that you would give
to throw it all away
Save and freeze up our tears
Catalogue all our fears
Give into the stretching years
But that's O.K.
And I can't understand
why you folded with a winning hand
and decided to throw the bet
I just can't believe you'd leave
with an ace sticking up your sleeve
you could have paid off your debts
And I don't even care
that you were so unfair
I worshipped one time at your feet
Never heard what was said
All nerve ends are dead
Tinitus ringing in my head
save and freeze up our tears
Catalogue all our fears
Give into the stretching years
Drown in my tears
Succumb to my fears
Give into the stretching years
but that's O.K.
I'm not O.K.
but that's O.K.
