Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous
Only see it on tv
Read it in the magazines
Celebrities that want sympathy
All they do is piss and moan
Inside the Rolling Stone
Talking about how hard life can be
I'd like to see them spend a week
Livin' life out on the street
I don't think they would survive
If they could spend a day or two
Walking in someone elses shoe's
I think they stumble and they'd fall
They would fall
Fall
Fall
Fall
Fall
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
They're always complainin' (always complainin')
If money is such a problem
Well they got mansions
Think we should rob them
Well did you know if you were famous you could kill your wife
And theres no such thing as 25 to life
As long as you got the cash to pay for Cochran
And did you know if you were caught and you were smokin' crack
McDonalds wouldn't even wanna take you back
You could always just run for mayor of DC
I'd like to see them spend a week
Livin' life out on the street
I don't think they would survive
If they could spend a day or two
Walkin' in someone else's shoes
I think they'd stumble and they'd fall
They would fall...
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
They're always complainin' (always complainin')
If money is such a problem
Well they got mansions
Think we should rob them
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
They're always complainin' (always complainin')
Always complainin'
If money is such a problem
You got so many problems
Think I could solve them
Lifestlyes of the rich and the famous
We'll take you clothes, cash, cars, and homes
Just stop complainin
Lifestlyes of the rich and the famous
Lifestlyes of the rich and the famous
Lifestlyes of the rich and the famous
Little Things
Yeah, this song is dedicated to every kid who ever got picked last in gym class (yeah, 1999)
This is for you
To every kid who never had a date to no school dance (2000 eternal)
This is for you
To everyone who's ever been called a freak (come with meeeee)
Here we, here we go
What? (y'all know what I'm talking about, y'all know what I'm saying)
Like the time in school when we got free lunch and the cool kids beat us up (reduced lunch!)
And the rich kids had convertibles and we had to ride the bus (fifty-five)
Like the time we made the baseball team, but they still laughed at us (we still suck)
Like the time that girl broke up with me cause I wasn't cool enough
Trick!
Things...
The little things they always hang around
The little things they try to break me down
The little things they just won't go away
The little things made me who I am today
You wanna hate me know
But I won't stop know, cause I can't stop now
What? Come on. Ungh.
Here we go
Like the time mom went to that institute cause she was breaking down (I just can't take it!)
Like the car we had that wouldn't start, we had to walk to get around (Can I get a ride?)
And that same year on Christmas Eve, Dad went to the store (uh, I'll see you guys later)
We checked his room, his things were gone
We didn't see him no more
Dick!
Things...
The little things they always hang around
The little things they try to break me down
The little things they just won't go away
The little things made me who I am today
You wanna hate me know
But I won't stop know, cause I can't stop now
It always seems those little things they take the biggest part of me...
And I know that those little things they make the biggest part of me break down
I'm breaking down
Break down
Gotta maintain

Everything's gonna be alright now,
Everything's gonna be alright,
Get down; stay up all night now,

Where thugs and punks and every other type,
Can sing this song and they sing it all night,

And I don't wanna run for president,
I just want an honest way to pay my rent,
And I'm tired of the man always shuttin' us down,
Tired of my old man 'cuz he's never around,
And I'm tired of eatin' off of other people's plates,
And I don't look important so they're tellin' me to wait,

I wanna know the meaning of a Christmas list,
All I wanna do is kick the welfare,

Everything's gonna be alright now,
Everybody say it one more time,

Motivation Proclimation
Spend your lazy, endless, crazy,
Days inside my head,
You're so selfish,
You're not the only,
One who thinks he's dead,
I'm paid to smile,
Now I'm on trial,
For what you think I said:
But I never said that everything would be okay,
And I never said that we would live to see another day,
Motivate me,
I wanna get myself out of this bed,
Captivate me,
I want good thoughts inside of my head,
If I fall down,
Would you come around,
And pick me right up off the ground,
If I fall down,
Would you come around,
And pick me right up off the ground,
Unrealistic, and narcassitic,
You say I'm selfish and absurd,
You try change me,
Try to phase me,
You say I'm gonna learn,
I'm so blind,
I'm out of time,
You're so unkind sometimes,
I never lied,
I never lied,
I never lied,
'Cuz I never said,
That everything would be okay,
And I never said,
That we would live to see another day, yeah,
Motivate me,
I wanna get myself out of this bed,
Captivate me,
I want good thoughts inside of my head,
If I fall down,
Would you come around,
And pick me right up off the ground,
If I fall down,
Would you come around,
And pick me right up off the ground,
pick me right up off the ground,
pick me right up off the ground,
yeah,
Yeah,

East Coast Anthem
Walking on the streets of D.C.
On the eastcoast where I live
You say what's the problem
What's with this angry kid?
You don't like the way I walk, or the way I talk,
Or the way I swing my hands
You don't like the words I speak, or the thoughts I think
And I know you'll never understand
You know... On the eastcoast, we ride until we die
You know...
Well there's a place inside my mind
Yeah a place you'll never find
There's a place inside my mind, walk this way
There's a place inside my mind
Yeah a place you'll never find
There's a place inside my mind, we'll leave today
Wouldn't it be perfect if I could sit with you?
And we would change a thing or 2, we would change a thing or 2,
We would change the way you think, we would change the way I think,
We can't change the way they think so we're not changin' anything
On the eastcoast we ride, until the day we die
Festival Song
I don't care about a thing today, I used to but I'm fed up,
And I can hear the words you say, I wish that you would shut up
I've got responsibility, that is my liability
A menace to society, at least that's what they say to me
But tonight, tonight, it's on tonight
I don't want your boring life,
And I don't want your 9 to 5,
Or anyone to tell me how to live my life
People always tell me not to waste my time
To get a real job and get back in line
You can say I'll never be a millionaire
Tell me this guitar won't get me anywhere
I've got responsibility, that is my liability
I'm questioning authority, they say there's not a chance for me
Your future's no future
I control my future
Complicated
And we've been here for so many years,
Still it seems as if you're not there (are you there)
Every time I talk, you turn away (do you care),
Isn't Dad an obligation to care
And we've been here for so many years,
So many years still it seems,
So complicated, overrated, complicated,
This feeling is low
Well I came in the door, I said it before,
I never let the stress get me down no more
Giving thanks to the Lord, and I pray every day
Giving shots to my peeps and this is what we said
You left us one little room with a black and white TV,
One eviction notice, and a bill for therapy
You're living all alone you're like a dog without a bone,
You're living all alone 'cause you left us all at home,
Well you had a second chance but you threw it all away
A fourth and fifth and sixth but that was yesterday,
Now you're sitting at a bar just a drowning in your tears
Lonely in your corner while everybody cheers
Seasons(This song is for someone very special they know who they are)
Summer air reminds me of all the feelings of your love
And what it was like when we were together
Walking all along the beach, you were never far from my reach
And you held me through the stormy weather
And I wanna fall in love tonight
And I remember when you said "everything is gonna be alright"
Laying in the summer grass, you told me not to talk so fast
As I told you how I feel
You made me feel right at home, you told me I was not alone
And you knew just how I feel
I know we talked about it, I just can't get around it
I just want one more night with you
October air reminds me of all the feelings of your love
And what it was like when we were together
The smell of fall is everywhere and though it seems,
I just don't care 'cause now you've gone away
I Don't Wanna Stop
All these games you play, they're messin' with my head (messin' with my head)
I don't know why I stay, I should leave instead (I should leave instead),
When I speak from my heart, you laugh like it's a game (this ain't no game)
Yeah we'd make great friends, but it just isn't the same...
And I know this is not the way it should be,
And I know you treat him like me,
But I don't wanna stop, I don't wanna stop,
I don't wanna stop
Now I don't need you to buy me pretty things (you don't pay for me)
Pay for my tattoos or buy me diamond rings (we don't want those things)
All I know is that I'm happy to see you smile (i want to see you smile)
And it'd make my day if you'd just stay here awhile (stay with me)
This has gone on way too long...
And I'm tired of movin' on
I Heard You
Today I screwed up again, you said I could tell
In the way you said goodbye
I saw you sitting at your t-shirt stand with your new boyfriend
He's really cool, I get the point
I don't want you, I don't want you, I heard you
I heard you, I heard you say, not a chance, what don't you see
I don't want you, I don't want you, I heard you,
I heard you, I heard you say, you're not good enough for me
Today I screwed up again, I wasn't paying attention
I walked into the wall again, I heard you laugh and saw your grin
While you were sitting at your t-shirt stand with all your cool friends
They're really cool, I get the point
Today I'll give it one last try, and then I know I'll wonder why
I did it to myself once again
I saw your boyfriend, he's 6'3, quarterback on varsity
The football players love to torture me
So I'm feeling like I'm not fitting in
I know that I'm not fitting in with you and your stuck-up friends
I get the point
Walk By
She walks down to the store at eight
The devil walks with her and he thinks she's great
When she looks at me, I don't know what I saw,
I think he's tryin' to make me his son in law
When she,
Walks by, walks by, walks by, she walks on by
Egos fly when she walks by
She caught my eye on October 9th
22 days before Halloween
How did I know she'd be my evil queen?
My mother warned me against girls like you,
She said stay away from them son, you know they're not true
All they're gonna do is put you under a spell, she told me
When you're fallin' down, you're going straight to hell
Let Me Go
Down in the streets outside of Washington, D.C.
I wasted all my time and you were there with me
Back then it meant so much to have you by my side
I always had your back, and you always had mine
Sayin'...
Let me go, have some fun,
Well my decision sucks, yeah
But I'm so young
We'd hang out late and fight just trying to have fun
We were such punk ass kids but we knew everyone
And who could see through such blazed up bloodshot eyes
There was a plan for us one day we'd realize
Screamer
Communication is alot like the wind, when I speak
It's like no on understands and I'm left with empty hands
Forever, I speak
So many things I'll never learn
You can't cross bridges that you burn
Why is life such an issue when you're mine?
Why are the answers to my life hard to find?
So hard to find.
Don't forget to buckle when you fall
Beneath the seconds when your life became a screamer.
Staring at the scene things become so small
I want movies of my dreams
And pictures on my wall,
Pictures on my wall
Why is life such an issue in your mind?
Why are the answers to my problems hard to find?
So hard to find
You say that I'm a dreamer
I say you're a non-believer
Take out the light
Take out the light
Start screamin'
I'm dreamin'
I'm a dreamer
No one believes me
And you don't either
Tell me what to do
Take out the light
Take out the light
Take out the light
Take out the light
Start screamin'
Take out the light
Take out the light
Take out the light
Start screamin'
Take out the light start screamin'
Take out the light start screamin'
Take out the light start screamin'
Yeah..........
Change(This song is also for that someone special)
I am lost in a see-thru
I think you've lost yourself too
Throughout all of this confusion
I hope I some how get to you
I practiced all the things I'd say to tell you how I feel
But when I finally get my chance
It all seems so surreal
'Cause from the first time I saw you
I only thought about you
I didn't know you
I wanted to hold onto
The things you'd never say to me
'Cause you said...
You can't change the way you feel
(I could never do that, I could never do that)
But you can't tell me this is real
'Cause this is real
(And I would see right through that)
And in the end it's all I got
(So I don't wanna do that)
So I'm gonna hold on and on and on
on and on and on and on...
Now you got me watching your eyes
(Watching just to see, watching just to see)
Got me waiting just to see
(If you'll ever look at me)
If it goes the way it never will
(Will it ever go, will it ever go my way)
Your eyes are watching me
And now you got me thinkin' 'bout the first time that I met you
Standing in a crowded room
But I could only see you
And I hope my words will get through
'Cause now I can't forget you
I want to tell you
If I could only reach you
And make you feel this way
Chorus
