What? Oh, are we recording now? Okay, cool!
If home is where the heart is,
Then why are you so heartless?
It’s so god damn depressing and you know
That I just wanna drink ‘till my body hits the floor.
‘Till my body hits the floor
‘Till my body hits the floor
‘Till my body hits the floor
‘Till my body hits the floor
Just pound a fifth of Irish and stumble around the city,
Looking for the next place to call my bed.
I Wonder if you’ll come looking, like you did before.
Like you did before
Like you did before
Like you did before
Like you did before
Now don’t you find it funny,
To think that we’re all running,
Away from everything that we once knew.
We gotta find a purpose! We gotta find a clue!
Gotta find a clue
Gotta find a clue
Gotta find a clue
Gotta find a clue
Gotta find a clue….

She wakes to the sound
Of mortars blasting away
The left side of her house.
The explosion’s deafening.
Walking out into the street,
The sky, it fills with ash
And just around the corner
There’s a man with a bomb on his chest.
“Oh no! This can’t be happening!” she said.
“Hamas has struck again,
Or maybe it’s the Israeli government
Maybe it’s the Israeli government
Maybe it’s the israeli government.”
She walks to the wall
And looks through the cracks.
She sees a society
Living off her back.
She sees the children laughing
She sees the children play
And while she’s distracted
A mortar strikes her town again.
“Oh no! This can’t be happening!” she said.
“Hamas has struck again,
Or maybe it’s the Israeli government
Maybe it’s the israeli government.”
“Oh no! This can’t be happening!” she said.
“Hamas has struck again,
Or maybe it’s the Israeli government
Maybe it’s the Israeli government
Maybe it’s the israeli government.”

Silent Crowd

As I become apathetic and numb
To the world in which we live,
I wonder where it all went wrong.
“When did it all go wrong?”
And those who don’t know history are condemned to repetition,
And those who rule the globe fill the poor with ammunition,
Fill the poor with ammunition.
They say there’s safety in numbers,
But you can’t seek asylum in a silent crowd,
In a silent crowd.
They say there’s safety in numbers,
But you can’t seek asylum in a silent crowd,
In a silent crowd.
They flaunt their cash around like it’s a badge of honor.
“But it won't help you when your dead”.
They spend their whole lives chasing that green-back dollar.
“Well was it worth it in the end?”
I don’t know if it’s worth it in the end
To destroy the planet you live on and everybody's lives
Just to die the richest man alive.
They say there’s safety in numbers,
But you can’t seek asylum in a silent crowd,
In a silent crowd.
They say there’s safety in numbers,
But you can’t seek asylum in a silent crowd,
In a silent crowd.
They say there’s safety in numbers,
But you can’t seek asylum in a silent crowd,
In a silent crowd.
They say there’s safety in numbers,
But you can’t seek asylum in a silent crowd,
In a silent crowd.

This is all wrong!
I can't believe what's happened to this town!
It's crumbling now.
This place used to be my home.
Where is the corner store
Where I used to steal all my smokes?
Where is the skate park?
All I see is an empty parking lot.
All I see is an empty parking lot.
All I see is an empty parking lot.
I know small business is on decline,
But how many fucking dollar stores do you see in your line of sight?
I know small business is on decline,
But how many fucking dollar stores do you see in your line of sight?
Do you remember
When we used to get high under the bridge and then
Skate to the punk rock show,
See all of our favorite local bands?
That time is done.
The venue is gone and the skate park is no more.
I can't believe what happened to this town!
I can't believe what happened to this town!
I can't believe what happened to this town!
I know small business is on decline,
But how many fucking dollar stores do you see in your line of sight?

But how many fucking dollar stores do you see in your line of sight?

And I feel a burning inside.
I can’t escape the way you look at me.
I walked away, but turned right back around.
This is not a matchbook solution.
Speak to me and tell me what’s on your mind.
I won’t let this fall apart.
If only we could see past our blindness,
We could be anything we wanted.
But you are never gonna change.
Your personality will always stay the same.
It’s so fucking depressing.
It’s so fucking depressing.
It’s so fucking depressing.
It’s so fucking depressing.
If you could see the effect you have on me,
The sleepless nights I’ve spent begging: “Please!
Send me free. I need to feel the wind blow.
Open the door. I need the taste of fresh air.”
But you are never gonna change.
Your personality will always stay the same.
It’s so fucking depressing.
It’s so fucking depressing.
It’s so fucking depressing.
It’s so fucking depressing.
But you are never gonna change.
Your personality will always stay the same.
It’s so fucking depressing.
It’s so fucking depressing.
It’s so fucking depressing.
It’s so fucking depressing.

The Value of X

You’re so fucking fake it makes me ill.
You lie through your teeth and you smile as you kill.
There’s nothing else better than watching you fall
Through the cracks in your
Democracy through intimidation,
Diplomacy through military action.
There’s nothing else left of your
Broken capitalist system.
Capitalism oh oh oh oh oh
Capitalism oh oh oh
There’s nothing like knowing that we’re all to blame.
And still children die. Do they die in vane?
And for what? So you can drive down the street and pick up groceries?
That’s not the way that this should be,
but there’s no placing blame in a bureaucracy.
We’re all hypocrites and we know it too and that’s the worst part
Of capitalism oh oh oh oh oh
Capitalism oh oh oh
Capitalism oh oh oh oh oh
Capitalism oh oh oh

We put our hearts into this
And it all ended with a final kiss.
The ship has sailed and it ran aground.
Lost at sea only to be found.
Badly damaged and engulfed in flames.
Seeking salvation, but no one came.
And I said:
“Don’t turn away.
I need you.
And don’t fade away.
Tomorrow ain’t that far away.
Tomorrow ain’t that far away.”
This town is haunted, nothing but ghosts inside.
Just people I used to know and now where’s the line?
It’s hard to find you here when I can’t stand
The thought of anyone else. Tell me: “What the fuck is a master plan?”
I said:
“Don’t turn away.
I need you.
And don’t fade away.
Tomorrow ain’t that far away.
Tomorrow ain’t that far away.”
One… two… one, two, three, four…
“Don’t turn away.
I need you.
And don’t fade away.
Tomorrow ain’t that far away.
Tomorrow ain’t that far away.”
“Don’t turn away.
I need you.
And don’t fade away.
Tomorrow ain’t that far away.
Tomorrow ain’t that far away.”
