Here are all the Lyrics:
CAN'T YOU SEE WE'RE SINKING? this break we are taking it's breaking my heart we're sitting still and we're losing steam we were on the right track and it's time we get back to work with these holes in our hull we will sink if we sit and let these rivers run past us we'll mix with the mud and the bones down below and we'll never find a place of our own we'll never find a port that we can call home and we know that this, place exists can't you remember the night that we found it? we knew that we had the strength to resist and we knew there was a better world than this but now we rot like vegetables in dumpsters undiscovered no private eyes for security guys who are hiding under cover the TVs not our enemy a cease fire has been called what was once the dream we shared is now our hopeless cause can't you see that it wasn't just you and it wasn't just me we lost a lot of heart and hope and made a few new enemies it's not to late to try again it's not too late to pick up the scent of the things we used to believe in. SOMETIMES, A "FUCK YOU" IS CALLED FOR ! I had a friend named sam who was never afraid to say fuck you If she thought that you were full of shit, she would tell you It's one of the most important things i've ever learned I think everyone should try to be more like her I used to be afraid of what she was gonna say I could see it in her eyes, I could see it in her face As the rage rose up and was about to explode I wanted to stop her and I wanted her to blow If you think that someone's wrong or their fucked up you should let them know, say fuck off, say shut up you've got a mouth, you've got a brain so you should use it speak your mind every time or you might lose it FLIES Each night when I lay down and I try to go to sleep There's a million thoughts that keep me awake I feel like a failure 'cause I didn't change the world But I tell myself tomorrow is the day I wake up every morning and I feel like it is christmas And I run downstairs to see what Santa left for me bit by bit throughout the day my hope gets chopped away and I'm right back where I started when I try to go to sleep The lord of lies is surrounded by flies and so are piles of shit and the dead animals on the side of the road Buzz with them There might be flies on some of you guys but their ain't no flies on us my cup is empty but refills are free and that's enough for me-e-e to keep on trying, it's better than dying I don't want no flies on me There might be flies on some of you guys but their ain't no flies on us I've been thinking that I think to much and that's what keeps me up at night but that's all right, i'll sleep after I die Because I can't tell myself no lies and everything is not all right i'd rather be tired than covered in flies NEW WAVE in the 1960's radical hippies made all of the things we love the coffee shops, the co-ops and the culture of rebellion now they drive big big cars and they live in big big houses and they don't get their hands dirty anymore and we are wilting in their shadows, made lazy by their deeds they fill our needs and we fill their pockets they pay minimum wage to the teen aged kids that think their great for all the things they did back in the day a movement isn't a movement once it stops moving and accomplishments are not worth a shit if they're you're excuse to quit The punks of the 1990's figured out so many things Like how to be PC and that we need to build communities They started info shops, They stood up to the cops and Won some of the battles that they fought Then the vegans became freegans and then they started eating meet and piece by piece lost their ideologies now they talk about what's on TV and it's not worth the risk to steal things the pizzas that they eat come by delivery you didn't believe in anything if you don't believe in it today you sold your soul you let your heart get chipped away It's time we build our own shit it's time to try again your not to old, your not to young you're not dead yet no we are not dead yet -------we are not dead yet SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH SOMETHING OR SOMETHING Something's making us sick and I don't know what it is Something's making us weak and I don't know what it is Something's making us quit and I don't know what it is Something's making us mean and I don't know what it is My friends don't darken my door anymore And I feel like I'm laying like rug laying on the floor Something needs to change but I don't know what it is Something needs to break but I don't know what it isSomething needs to happen but I don't know what it is Something needs to start but I don't know what it is I'm not sure if I'm living anymore Aren't you getting bored of being bored meet me where we used to be HEY FUCKERS hey fuckers hey fuckers fuck you, fuck you, fuck you. you are the boss and I am the worker you are the master and I am the slave you've got so much and I've got nothing this is all I have to say RABB-NAPING When people kept asking you for a ride you slashed your tires with a knife and that wouldn't be the last time you slashed tires we left a ransom note we thought you'd get the joke but when i saw you, your eyes were on fire, you said "i'm gonna put a bunch of holes in whoever stole my rabbits"x2 and it could be you and it could be you and it also could be you..I'm gonna put a bunch of holes in whoever stole my rabbits we snuck then in your room we were so afraid of you but that's just how you turned our joke on us you were born on the 4th of july but that's not why your parents named you sam They named you Sam after a kid that got killed by a bus your dad wanted it you to know how dangerous it can be to cross the street I think that it can be pretty dangerous when you try kidnapping someone's favorite rabbits...X4 THE END OF THE WORLD CAME AND IT WAS SO BORED, IT LEFT In those last days of rome the citizens must have known that the empire was spread to thin the golden age was at an end when you reach the top of the hill you stand on the bones of those you kill and the number of your enemies will grow as fat as your big belly an then, it's already over X4 There's nothing left for us to take, no promises left for us to brake no more diseases to be spread our kings and queens are fat with greed their thrones are made from the skulls of our enemies in the darkness you can hear them whispering, (they say) it's already over X4 And we are the failures of our fathers We are the children of our mothers We were the last ones to get picked We got the short end of the stick We are the last of the lovers All we got left is is each other We've got no sisters, No brothers We are the only children of a world the says You were born too late (you we're born too late) To have a say (to have a say) You were born too late (you we're born too late) To have a say (to have a say) 'cause It's already over x4 DON'T STAND TOO CLOSE TO THE GRAVE i don't wanna be no dinosaur and i don't wanna complain no more i know things are bound to change and i guess it's okay but i don't want to say goodbye i don't want to say goodbye but i guess i have to i don't want to live nowhere and i don't want to move nowhere i don't want my friends to die but i've heard it's just a part of life but i don't want to say goodbye i don't want to say goodbye but i guess i have to so let's forget the things we lost let's forget the good old days some things that we loved are gone what new things can we make? ONLY BABIES CRYWe could sing you a sad song and I bet that you would sing along We sing sing about heartbreak and I'm sure that you'd relate 'cause we've all had our bad days, we've all had our troubles and we've all had friends who've died we could cry our eyes out for you but that would be a waste of time 'cause there's so much more to this life than the shit that you've been though don't worry so much about what you've done as what you're gonna do and dry your eyes We could sing you song after song about how things have changed We could scream 'till our throats are sore about those fucking good old days 'cause we all been younger and we all miss something and we've all had our share of pain we could remind you of how hard it is to be human but that would be a fucking waste 'cause there's so much more to this life than the shit that you've been though don't worry so much about what you've done as what you're gonna do and dry your eyes 'cause one day you'll realize the value of your time and you'll figure out that you're gonna be alright I once ask a wise man the secret, to happiness he filled up his lungs with the sweet morning air and this is what he said...THE NOTHING IS COMING! What will you do when disney buys the rights to you and coca-cola owns the hospitals and schools Don't you know You cast your vote Everyday with every dollar the more you feed this enemy it gets bigger we get smaller Do you really want just one place to shop Do you really want that big big big big parking lot Don't you know You cast your vote Everyday with every dollar the more you feed this enemy it gets bigger we get smaller And I don't want to live in a world like this And I don't think that you do but you find it so hard to resist the cheap cheap cheap cheap prices and the Ads they burn in to your mind but if you want a community instead of a machine then you should try SAVE YOURSELF This is not a place for lovers This is not a time to be alive This is darkness this is evil this is not a fantasy there are wicked warlords in their towers wielding pain and poverty Their weapons are not swords or axes but they cut our hearts in half They will stop at nothing 'cause theirs always more that they could have And we are the peasants slouching on our couches we are the workers slumped over our desks and we don't care or we don't notice or we already work for them or we are waiting for some hero to come and set us free again but no one's gonna come there is not a chosen one we'll have to save ourselves we'll have to save ourselves! ADVICE FOR FUTURE BABIES When you're being born, don't be born poor Or you will die poor too you will work all your life, you will work until you die Everyone is gonna step all over you you can't walk anywhere because it's too far you can't drive there because you won't have a car you can't buy a car 'cause you don't have a job you can't get a job 'cause you don't have a car So the next time you're being born you should be born rich Then you'll see this world will make more sense THE TRUTH WE ARE NOT A MIRACLE NO WE ARE JUST AN ACCIDENT BUT THAT IT'S SELF IS BEAUTIFUL IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT WE SHOULD NOT FIGHT BECAUSE THERE IS NO WRONG THERE IS NO RIGHT THERE IS NO MEANING TO THIS LIFE WE LIVE UNTIL WE DIE WE LIVE UNTIL WE DIE WE LIVE UNTIL WE DIE
