Sirens 02:34
In the back of the stage at 7th Getting late so I think I'll call it 2 AM I decide to walk it With a butterfly in my pocket In the pit where the guys are talking Next door the police come knocking Guess they came to shut down our rocking But all the kids know there's no stopping In the back of the 7-Eleven Next door to a place called heaven I hear the angels singing When I listen to, listen to the sirens Smoke clouds creating halos Mixed up with all the weirdos Spotlights and dirty solos Mosh pits and old Cameros Squatting here in the old hotel rooms Shower in the truckstop bathroom Food stamps and sleep until noon, Play guitar it's all we can do [chorus] Those city lights surround me Those trusty chords they drown me Strangers with songs around me That's where my angel found me [chorus]

Of all the places we could be We chose the right one at the right time to lose our faith in all humanity And all the sickness we have fought Means nothing compared to the battle in our thoughts Unconditional love – what's that? When charity's driven by pride it remains just that Between a rock and a cardboard box Living a lie to preserve these proverbial ties Feelin' stuck and fresh out of luck Blood's thicker than water, sins of the father Of all the people who love me Why'd they have to be the same ones' to judge me? And all the roads less traveled, we follow To this halfway house where I cry into my pillow [chorus] Of all the money we don't have Would it really buy contentment, would it make you glad? To be alive and breathing, that's more than we could ask for Nobody appreciates, they just want more [chorus]

Music doesn't matter, it's just a trivial waste of our time It's nice for a hobby, you said, that your generation contrived Music will never stop anyone from dying, and it won't help feed the poor Well if all that's true then I don't wanna play guitar anymore I never would have made it past the seventh grade Without shitty pop-punk CD's I wouldn't still be here to take care of my friends Who sleep on a park bench So I guess what I'm trying to say is That I'd take the music over anything else any day And it must be wearing off Because there's people here to hear a girl strum at a knockoff And if I could write a song that could make one person be better off Then I'd know my job is done... But it won't be the last one My sober friends would never get clean without Ian MacKaye And the things that they say in Out Of Step I wouldn't have the guts to be who I am Without my record collection So I guess what I'm trying to say is That I don't believe in purpose without ambition Don't believe in divine intervention, it won't catch my attention But I believe in this And if I could write a song that could make one person be better off Then I'd know my job is done... But it won't be the last one

Pig, whore, herbivore, I don't like you anymore But that's okay, I'm not the one who's keeping score Useless, prostitute, hag, waste, destitute I may well be, but I think I've had enough of you You must be an expert at everything You must have some deep-seated suffering You must be an expert about me You must be afraid, afraid of something Now I don't like to point the gun at anyone I'm not your daughter and I'm not your son I just have some questions about your mind Did something break or were you born blind? [chorus] Cry baby, fat ass, idiot, gutter trash I'm getting rather sick of this emotional whiplash Bad in bed, stupid head, these are all the things she said Well I don't care you can eat my lead! [chorus]

Herbies in McDonalds, Herbies in Wendy's Herbies at the Burger King and Herbies at Denny's Herbies in McDonalds, Herbies in Wendy's Herbies at the Burger King and Herbies at Denny's This revolution is to stop the world's pollution And it may be a movement but it's not a solution They say we all deserve the same right to freedom If we're all so free, then why you gotta eat 'em? Because we breathe the same atmosphere and share the same planet What makes us so different than what goes on your sandwich? I've got a problem with the way that you think That this don't affect the soil or the water we drink Yeah I'm a born-again hippie want to save the bees, Wanna fuck up the system while I'm hugging the trees Don't you know that the world is the only planet with beer and liquor on it? Did you know that french fries are vegan? Thank god we can eat them I'm gonna go eat some french fries so listen you guys If you wanna come join me then we'll round up a posse and get Herbies in McDonalds, Herbies in Wendy's Herbies at the Burger King and Herbies at Denny's Herbies in McDonalds, Herbies in Wendy's Herbies at the Burger King and Herbies at Denny's
