no more suffering your latest wit and no more pretending that I give a shit and
no more sitting through your gloomy weather no more pretending that I can't do better
we're not friends anymore
i hope you realize our best days have passed up by
no more cringing while I look away and no more alibis for what you say and
no more nodding through your latest intrigue no more tacitly endorsing your hate
we're not friends anymore
i hope you realize our best days have passed up by

I don't have the time I don't have the time the time in the day

Smart Punks
01:21
|
|||
I don't wanna be a dumb ass I don't wanna be the guy that doesn't know
I would rather be a well read man a knowledge stan a thinkin joe
you remember when punk was young?
I remember when pop punk wasn't dumb
dr frank lance hahn greg graffin and milo auckerman
smart punks go back to school / and read camus
ergo sum punk rock doesn't have to be dumb
larry wrote that punk rockers were hesitant to display intelligence
or put their minds to full use because the wisdom was that punk was ignorant
jeff bale said that it's classist david hayes said a smart punk was neither one
in the pages of mrr the battle raged but I know which side i'm on
smart punks reading books / writing hooks
ergo sum punk rock doesn't have to be dumb

A Ghost Across My Bow
01:58
|
|||
I see you standing there all fine in the morning glowing
like a ghost across my bow
you hang on to this old romantic notion somehow
though I dare not ask you how
hope that I can measure up to the man you wanna see
when you look across at me
am I a good man?
in the noonday garden sun like a shepherd walking
with her charges all around
I'll pour a drink at the risk that you don't need me
to lift you up so I won't drown
hope that I can measure up to the man you wanna see
when you look across at me
am I a good man?
in the evening when the light and our strength is fading
and quiet's on our house
I'll lay a blanket across your lap so you won't shiver
as the darkness gathers round
hope that I can measure up to the man you wanna see
when you look across at me

91 in my room with the karin seven inch I was so taken by your lyrical intelligence
I could picture you kickin' past pancho villa's surplus combat boots and a worn out cccp tee
97 tour I took your sg to the shop we said goodbye never would have thought
it's a shame we didn't get more time
94 me and josh at the epicenter bins I said I liked cringer better than this j-church band
you were right there but how was I supposed to know? you were always kind but you never seemed to let it go
08 abroad and my lifeline home your songs I read the news that you had gone
it's a shame we didn't get more time Lance
the joke is that we always think we've got more time (but the joke's on us as time goes by)

payment on this car I cannot miss so each day I get up at six
drive to my job where i'll get paid so that the payment is not late
they asked me where I saw myself in five years
I told them I don't know but i'm sure it's not here
don't wanna be a leader don't wanna be led
my boss says I must take on more so I can get a higher score
then i'll get a promotion so I can take on more again
they asked me where I saw myself in five years
I told them I don't know but i'm sure it's not here
don't wanna be a leader don't wanna be led

I got my hair cut short I got my sleeves rolled up
Catch me in the pit I'm gonna fuck you up
My girlfriend tells me that I need to stop
But I just gotta rise above
Hey buddy don't look at me
I went to the henry rollins school of menacing
I look across the bar I give you a glance
You look back at me so I take my chance
Said if you wanna be my lover girl
You gotta get with my war
Hey buddy don't look at me
I went to the henry rollins school of menacing

Believe (Rehashed)
02:07
|
|||
could you believe anything was wrong in the world on a night like tonight?
keep the beat up fast and everythings fine and the crowd reflects a shining light
telling me that i've done something right for once
and telling me that I mean something to someone
and I wish there was a way to say how much this means to me
this is the way that I had dreamed I can't believe that this is me
me and 10 years gone and this scene will not be replayed
your patient ears and all the shows we've played in the past (thirty)4 years leave a debt unpaid
telling me that i've done something right for once
and telling me that I mean something to someone
and I wish there was a way to say how much this means to me
this is the way that I had dreamed I can't believe that this is me

as the car rolls through the streets still wet from an early evening rain.
street lights to my eyes go blurred like stars so far away.
each car that passes us reveals a tiny world unto itself.
sharing space and time and hints at stories we can never know.
thanks for driving me home old friend
in this state each tiny thing puts my mind to running wheeling
scraps of paper in the wind set an empty mind alight
turning off of the main road we slip into the darkened neighborhood
though i'm fading fast I say goodnight and I know that it's all good
thanks for driving me home old friend
if I was drunk at the bar it was only half from the booze
friendship conversation fills me up the other half was you

maybe I should start to recognize maybe I should learn to empathize
maybe I should find a compromise maybe get my life together
wanna get my life together
maybe I can see a new north star maybe I can set a higher bar
maybe I can spark a way to start maybe get my life together...
maybe I could be a better man maybe I could show a kinder hand
maybe I could prove a better friend maybe get my life together
wanna get my life together
if we ever get out of this mess wanna do something with my life
maybe I can try to build your trust maybe I can demonstrate my love
maybe I can un-dertake enough maybe get my life together...
maybe I will pause before I shout maybe I will stop and think it out
maybe I will end on a high note maybe get my life together
i wanna get my life together
if we ever get out of this mess wanna do something with my life

Up And Down
01:56
|

Elevator number 1 when the day has just begun
To my car to the bridge i sit and wait
It goes up and down It goes up and down
Up and down it goes up and down
Up and down it goes up and down
Down down down
Elevator number 3 in the halls of industry
Stare straight ahead don't say a word
I sit and wait
It goes up and down It goes up and down
Up and down it goes up and down
Up and down it goes up and down
Down down down
Elevator number 3 take it back up to the street
To the car to the bridge I sit and wait
It goes up and down It goes up and down
Up and down it goes up and down
Up and down it goes up and down
Down down down
Elevator 1 is in repair i guess I'll have to take the stairs
walk through the door and you're not there
I feel down down down down down down

So Glad You're Here
01:59
|

in 1989 I played in my first show I was psyched to play but my fear didn't want to go
were my parts gonna fit and was my hand gonna stretch?
was I gonna get a panic attack from playing like this?
I look like hell and I feel like crap i've got nowhere better to be
I come outta my shell to find i'm on my back but i'm so glad you're here with me.
in 2021 we stayed inside all year I returned to shows and so did all my fear
were my pants gonna fit and was this shirt gonna stretch?
was I gonna get a panic attack from wearing this mask?
I look like hell and I feel like crap i've got nowhere better to be
I come outta my shell to find i'm on my back but i'm so glad you're here with me.
