DANGER TO THE SYSTEM LYRICS - Selling Out And Buying In

DANGER TO THE SYSTEM LYRICS

"Selling Out And Buying In"

We sang songs of defiance. Now I’m really not sure if you’re part of that anymore. You can "take a look around the world and see that all mass media are owned and controlled by conservative capitalists" and now thanks to you, so is punk rock! You taught me to rebel! You taught me to give em hell! Now you just sing to sell! We asked for "a band who played loud and hard every night", "our arenas just basements across an underground America." "Just give me a scene where the music is free", and you don’t pay 15 bucks for a fucking cd, "turn those clapping hands into angry balled fists", because the underground punks are pissed! (We’re gonna take back everything you stole!) You taught me to rebel! You taught me to give em hell! Now you just sing to sell!

FOXY SHAZAM LYRICS - It's Hair Smelled Like Bonfire

FOXY SHAZAM LYRICS

"It's Hair Smelled Like Bonfire"

Red heads with curly hair

October scented lingerie

Today found tomorrow

I'm not kidding you around

I found a way into my mind

Well we're ready to roll

I don't wanna know

My only daughter's on my mind

She's got curly blond and I have straight brown

I remember her hair, it smelled like bonfire

Her jawbone so sharp, it would cut your hand off

I know what you're thinking Barbara

But you gotta believe me

The only people that are out

At this time of the night

Are the cops

ARROGANT SONS OF BITCHES LYRICS - Fuck You

ARROGANT SONS OF BITCHES LYRICS

"Fuck You"

I remember the days I used to laugh and play.

My friends were mostly girls and I got good grades.

That was a time I could look back on proudly and say "Hey, that's me"

but now the future pummels me with uncertainty.

Success I'll never grasp

A love I'll never find or notice

Maybe this is just a test

Success I'll never grasp, won't obey the status quo

Am I cynical, political or mental? I don't know.

In my head I've got all the explanations that I need

that not a motherfucker in the world would believe.

And I fail. Remarks misheard callously.

The notes we passed in class never had an effect on me.

You win. You've beat me at my own game.

But you're not gonna be there when I've won.

I'm sure I'm not as bad as I think, but I feel like I've done nothing

and now I'm at the brink of zero

And I ain't got no (great grammar there, kids)

souvenirs from the last few years that could fucking show.

that I've attained some form of success

a love I'll never find or notice

how much of this makes any sense

Sellout now or I'm never gonna win

Who needs to give a motherfucking shit about my fucking friends?

The hand on the clock reaches my end

Bop Bada Bop

Its not me.

I know that I made you see the directionless slacker I made myself out to be

Well you, win. It doesn't matter

I'm not gonna be there when you're gone

I don't need your advice and I don't need your help.

Why am I so lonely if I still have myself?

Why should I care if I don't have a chick to take all of my ca$h and hurt me till I'm sick?

It all makes such sense, its all loud and clear

I may have had a bad week, a bad month, a bad year but the future's there

and all I've got to do is concentrate on what I want.

And if you oppose me, fuck you.

MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES LYRICS - Someday I Suppose

MIGHTY MIGHTY BOSSTONES LYRICS

"Someday I Suppose"

There was a place and the name of the place escapes me

When I can't remember it irritates me

Could be I can't remember could be I choose to not

Let's move along the song and try to find the plot

There was a girl and I don't know her name either

She gave me love and I said I'd never leave her

If I did I'd come back someday and find her

Maybe I will I should write down a reminder



One day! One day who knows?

Someday! Someday I suppose



There was a verse that I was gonna write

I haven't yet but there's still a chance I might

An open book that I still want to close

I'll find the time someday I suppose

A place and time, I wanna be and spend a storyline

That's happy in the end

Plans are made with promises so certainly uncertain

I can't wait to set things straight before they close the curtain



One day! One day who knows?

Someday! Someday I suppose



The more I sort it out the more it gets distorted

I sort of think I'm better off just leaving it unsorted

The more I try to change its course the more off course it goes

Of course I'll reach my destination someday I suppose

Sort it out, get distorted one day who knows

Hide behind, unreported someday I suppose

THE VANDALS LYRICS - What About Me?

THE VANDALS LYRICS

"What About Me?"

Now the birds in the trees are deformed and diseased

and the leaves on the trees are wilting on the branch

there's no stars in the sky, cuz scars on my eyes won't heal thanks to you-

And the sun is obscured since you told me those words-that you can't be with me,



and you got to be free cuz your selfish and rude, with a bad attitude-but you can't see.

And what about me?

Oh baby don't, don't, don't, don't do what you think you should do-

Because it won't, won't, won't, won't be what I want it to be to

Repeat after me "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry"

Repeat after me "It was all my fault again"

"And I will stay, stay, stay, stay right here with you-and I will say, say, say, say whatever you tell me to."

This is me now "You are forgiven"

This is me now "Things are fine again, you see."

It wasn't that hard.

Remember, Remember, Remember, What about me?

Now the sun has arrived, and the birds that all died are alive and revived

and chirping in the branches

Cuz you made up your mind, just barley in time

Let's not take any chances-

Cuz you're restless again, and you want it to end

but I can't let you leave, cuz you promised to me

and you'd do what I say, and you said that you'd stay

You said that you'd stay

And what about me?



Oh baby don't, don't, don't, don't do what you think you should do-

Because it won't, won't, won't, won't be what I want it to be to

Repeat after me "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry"

Repeat after me "I "state your name" love you"

it's the truth you see

Remember, Remember, Remember, What about me?

What about me?

GOODNIGHT NURSE LYRICS - No Way To Escape

GOODNIGHT NURSE LYRICS

"No Way To Escape"

I need to break out

I need to get away

Before I breakdown

Before I suffocate

We're on lock down

Freedom controlled

And this is not my home

This is not my home



[Pre Chorus:]

Lights out

No place to go

Lights out



[Chorus:]

There's no way to escape, escape, escape

I'm trapped and bound

Surrounded everyday all day, all day

I need out now

There's nothing I can do

No



I'm hearing voices

They tell me not to think

Limit my choices

My sentence penned in ink

And when i wake up

I'm not at home

My future so unknown

Future so unknown



[Pre Chorus]



[Chorus]

THE OFFSPRING LYRICS - Something To Believe In

THE OFFSPRING LYRICS

"Something To Believe In"

I believe that reality's gone

Disillusion's real

I believe that morality's gone

And there's nothing to feel

If you take the sacred things

The things that we hold dear

Empty promise is all you'll find

So give me something



Something to believe in [x4]



I believe in a changing of the guard

Put our feet on the ground

See it happen in your own backyard

Everything breaks down

Do you accept what you are told

Without even thinking

Throw it all and make your own

And give me something



Something to believe in [x4]



Where they lead

You will follow

Well I guess that's just the way it goes

And if you look away

You'll be doing what they say

And if you look alive

You'll be singled out and tried

If you take home anything

Let it be your will to think

The more cynical you become

The better off you'll be



Something to believe in [x8]
