I'm gettin' edgy
All the time
There's someone around me
Just a step behind
It's kinda scary
The shape I'm in
The walls are shakin'
And they're closing in
Too fast or
A bit too slow
I'm paranoid of people
And it's starting to show
One guy that
I can't shake
Over my shoulder
Is a big mistake

Sitting on the bed
And I'm lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Sayin' all I know is
I gotta get away from me

I tell you something
Just ain't right
My head is on loose
But my sh*** are tight
Avoiding my friends
They all bug
Life is like a riddle
And I'm really stumped
If you reason
Don't you know
Your own preoccupation
Is where you'll go
I'm bein' followed
I look around
It's only my shadow
Creepin' on the ground

Sitting on the bed
And I'm lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Sayin' all I know is
I gotta get away from me
Gotta get away from me
Gotta get away from me

Whoa-oah-oah, whoa-oah-oah
Whoa-oah-oah, whoa-oah-oah

Sitting on the bed
And I'm lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Sayin' all I know is
I gotta get away from me
Gotta get away from me
Gotta get away from me
Gotta get away from me

The secret side of me,
I never let you see
I keep it caged, but I can't control it
So stay away from me
The beast is ugly
I feel the rage and I just can't hold it

It's scratchin on the walls
In the closet, in the halls
It comes awake and I can't control it
Hidin' under the bed
In my body, in my head
Why won't somebody come and save me from this?
Make it end

I feel it deep within
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I... I... feel like a monster
I... I... feel like a monster

My secret side I keep
Hid under lock and key
I keep it caged, but I can't control it
'Cause if I let him out
He'll tear me up, break me down
Why won't somebody come and save me from this?
Make it end

I feel it deep within
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I feel it deep within
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I... I... feel like a monster
I... I... feel like a monster

It's hidin in the dark
Its teeth are razor sharp
There's no escape for me
It wants my soul, it wants my heart
No one can hear me scream
Maybe its just a dream
Or maybe it's inside of me
Stop this monster

I feel it deep within
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I
FEEL LIKE A MONSTER!
I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I feel it deep within
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I gotta lose control
It's something radical
I must confess that I feel like a monster

I... I... feel like a monster
I... I... feel like a monster
I... I... feel like a monster
I... I... feel like a monster

Cut my life into pieces
This is my last resort
Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a f*** if I cut my arm bleeding

This is my last resort

Cut my life into pieces
I've reached my last resort
Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a f*** if I cut my arm bleeding
Do you even care if I die bleeding?

Would it be wrong, would it be right
If I took my life tonight?
Chances are that I might
Mutilation out of sight
And I'm contemplating suicide

'Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine

I never realized I was spread too thin
Till it was too late and I was empty within
Hungry, feeding on chaos and living in sin
Downward spiral, where do I begin?

It all started when I lost my mother
No love for myself and no love for another
Searching to find a love upon a higher level
Finding nothing but questions and devils

'Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine

Nothing's alright, nothing is fine
I'm running and I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying

I can't go on living this way

Cut my life into pieces
This is my last resort
Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a f*** if I cut my arm bleeding

Would it be wrong, would it be right
If I took my life tonight?
Chances are that I might
Mutilation out of sight
And I'm contemplating suicide

'Cause I'm losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine
Losing my sight, losing my mind
Wish somebody would tell me I'm fine

Nothing's alright, nothing is fine
I'm running and I'm crying
I can't go on living this way
Can't go on living this way
Nothing's all right

Oh yeah
You wanna find it
C'mon yeah

I'm on a plane
With cocaine
And yes I'm all lit up again
Cough up love
And touch up
Your mama said packing lines is sin

And yes I'm all lit up again
On the couch, in my bed
And yes I'm all lit up again
Flyin' on

I love the cocaine
I love the cocaine
Mama can't you wait yeah!

I'm on a train
And right on
You know the train is staying off the tracks
I'm in touch love
From this crutch
Well you at ten but money I'm on eleven

And yes I'm all lit up again
On the couch, in my bed
And yes I'm all lit up again
Flyin' on

I love the cocaine
I love the cocaine
Mama can't you wait
Mama can't you wait
I love the cocaine
I love the cocaine
Mama can't you wait
Oh, can't you wait long

Crack the door for the curious girl
'Cause she's waiting, she's been waiting
Chop a line for the fiending man
'Cause he wants one

You know, you know you got to
Can you feel it, can you feel it tonight
Are you high love
Tell me are you f***ing high
In the moment you are just so right
You're right love
Are you right love

And yes I'm all lit up again
On the couch, in my bed
And yes I'm all lit up again
Flyin' on

I love the cocaine
I love the cocaine...

I sit in the state of a daydream
With all of your words flying over my head
Even more time gets wasted in a daze

It should seem obvious to you
Your screams and cries are never going to work
And all of your time gets wasted in my daze

And I'm looking back now at where I have gone wrong
And why I could not seem to get along
My interests are longing to break through these chains
These chains that control my future's aims

I sit in the state of a daydream
With all of your words flying over my head
Even more time gets wasted in a daze

Maybe I'm just too damn lazy
Or maybe I was just brainwashed to think that way
And all of your time gets wasted in my daze

And I'm looking back now at where I have gone wrong
And why I could not seem to get along
My interests are longing to break through these chains
These chains that control my future's aims

I'm looking back now at
Where I have, have gone wrong
And why I could not seem
Could not seem to get along

And I'm looking back now at where I have gone wrong
And why I could not seem to get along
My interests are longing to break through these chains
These chains that control my future's aims

using your hands to murder to fasten minds
that feel no mercy and who knows us
who knows us?
bound by diversion rehearsed
endlessly through time hindered
your life is measured
by those inhibiting your mind

who's the scapegoat?
who is labeled?
who gnaws the desert
in frustration?
now who's the scapegoat?
who is labeled?
who gnaws the desert
in frustration?

(Solo - Werstler)

bound by
diversion rehearsed
endlessly through time hindered
your life is measured
by those inhibiting your mind

awe-inspired by murder
to trample dead
those who are subject to torture
and to hinder
to hinder

C'mon, c'mon!
C'mon, c'mon!

On those Saturdays when kids go out and play,
Yo, I was up in my room, I let the stereo blaze.
Wasn't faded, not jaded, just a kid
With a pad and a pen and a big imagination.
All this, I seek, I find,
I push the envelope to the line.
Make it, break it, take it
Until I'm overrated!

Click, click, boom!
I'm coming down on the stereo, hear me on the radio,
Click, click, boom!
I'm coming down with the new style and you know it's buck wild,
Click, click, boom!
I'm on the radio station, touring 'round the nation,
Leaving the scene in devastation.

I can see it in my mind,
I can see it in their eyes,
It's close enough to touch it now,
But far away enough to die!

What the hell is wrong with me?
My mom and dad weren't perfect,
But still you don't hear no cryin' ass b****in' from me,
Like there seems to be on everybody's CD.
So just sit back and relax
And let me have your head for a minute,
I can show you something in it that has yet to be presented!
Oh yeah!

Click, click, boom!
I'm coming down on the stereo, hear me on the radio,
Click, click, boom!
I'm coming down with the new style and you know it's buck wild,
Click, click, boom!
I'm on the radio station, touring 'round the nation,
Leaving the scene in devastation.

Why have I clouded up my mind,
Why's my mother always right?
And will I make it 'till the end,
Or will I crawl away and die?
Click, click, boom!
Click, click, boom!
Click, click, boom!

Click, click, boom...
On those Saturdays when kids go out and play,
Yo I was up in my room, I let the stereo blaze.
On Saturdays when kids go out and play,
I was up in my room, I let the stereo blaze!

It's all inside of me, it's all inside of me,
It's all inside of me, it's all inside of my head!
It's all inside of me, it's coming over me,
It's all inside of me, it's all inside my head!
Yeah!

Click, click, boom!
I'm coming down on the stereo, hear me on the radio,
Click, click, boom!
I'm coming down with the new style and you know it's buck wild,
Everybody, Everybody come on! (come on, come on)
Everybody come on! (come on, come on)
Click, click, boom! (come on, come on)
Everybody come on! (come on, come on)
Click, click, boom! (come on, come on)
Everybody come on! (come on, come on)
Click, click, boom! (come on, come on)
Everybody come on! (come on, come on)
Click, click, boom!

Ohhh, I miss the misery!

I’ve been a mess since you stayed,
I’ve been a wreck since you changed,
Don’t let me get in your way,
I miss the lies and the pain,
The fights that keep us awake-ake-ake
I’m telling you!

I miss the bad things,
The way you hate me,
I miss the screaming,
The way that you blame me!
Miss the phone calls,
When it’s your fault,
I miss the late nights,
Don’t miss you at all!
I like the kick in the face,
And the things you do to me!
I love the way that it hurts!
I don’t miss you, I miss the misery!

I’ve tried but I just can’t take it,
I’d rather fight than just fake it (cause I like it rough),
You know that I’ve had enough,
I dare ya to call my bluff,
Can’t take to much of a good thing
I’m telling you!

I miss the bad things,
The way you hate me,
I miss the screaming,
The way that you blame me!
Miss the phone calls,
When it’s your fault,
I miss the late nights,
Don’t miss you at all!
I like the kick in the face,
And the things you do to me!
I love the way that it hurts!
I don’t miss you, I miss the misery!

Just know that I’ll make you hurt,
(I miss the lies and the pain what you did to me)
When you tell me you’ll make it worse
(I’d rather fight all night than watch the TV)
I hate that feeling inside
You tell me how hard you’ll try
But when we’re at our worst
I miss the misery

I miss the bad things,
The way you hate me,
I miss the screaming,
The way that you blame me.

I miss the rough sex,
Leaves me a mess,
I miss the feeling of pains in my chest!
Miss the phone calls,
When it’s your fault,
I miss the late nights,
Don’t miss you at all!
I like the kick in the face,
And the things you do to me!
I love the way that it hurts!
I don’t miss you, I miss the misery!

I don’t miss you, I miss the misery!

Some say the end is near
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this
Bulls*** three ring circus sideshow of

Freaks here in this hopeless f***ing
Hole we call L.A.
The only way to fix it is to
Flush it all away
Any f***ing time, any f***ing day
Learn to swim
See you down in Arizona Bay

Fret for your figure
And fret for your latte
And fret for your lawsuit
And fret for your hairpiece
And fret for your Prozac
And fret for your pilot
And fret for your contract
And fret for your car
It's a bulls*** three ring circus sideshow of

Freaks here in this hopeless f***ing
Hole we call L.A.
The only way to fix it is to
Flush it all away
Any f***ing time, any f***ing day
Learn to swim
See you down in Arizona Bay

Some say a comet will fall from the sky
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves
Followed by fault lines that cannot sit still
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dips***s

And some say the end is near
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this

Stupid s***
Silly s***
Stupid s***

One great big festering neon distraction
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied

Learn to swim
Learn to swim
Learn to swim

Mom's gonna fix it all soon
Mom's coming 'round to put it back the way it oughta be

Learn to swim
Learn to swim

F*** L. Ron Hubbard
And f*** all his clones
F*** all these gun-toting
Hip gangster wanna-bes

F*** retro anything
F*** your tattoos
F*** all you junkies
And f*** your short memory

F*** smiley glad-hands with hidden agendas
F*** these dysfunctional, insecure actresses

'Cause I'm praying for mayhem
I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way
I wanna watch it all go down

Mom, please flush it all away
I wanna see it go right in and down
I wanna watch it go right in
Watch you flush it all away

Yeah, time to bring it down again
Yeah, don't just call me a pessimist
Try and read between the lines
And I can't imagine why you wouldn't welcome any change, my friend

I wanna see it come down
Plug it down
Suck it down
Flush it down

This little one tries as hard as she can
Do anything just so she could fit in
She wants a friend so bad
She’ll do whatever they tell her

To make them smile she would misbehave
But all the while they would laugh at her face
She begins to cry
Because she thought that they liked her

Even though you feel all alone
It can’t rain everyday, it don’t rain forever
Your sunshine maybe gone I know
It can’t rain everyday, it don’t rain forever

He works hard everyday of his life
For his son on the way and his beautiful wife
But today he got a call from his job
They got something to tell him

They laid him off now he’s out on the streets
He’s got to do what it takes so his family can eat
Can’t even look at his wife
'Cause he feels like he failed them

Even though you feel all alone
It can’t rain everyday, it don’t rain forever
Your sunshine maybe gone but I know
It can’t rain everyday, it don’t rain forever

It don’t rain, it don’t rain forever
It can’t rain, it don’t rain forever

Rain down, rain down, rain down
So let it rain down, rain down, rain down
Rain down on me now

A young lady’s been lost for awhile
But that’s okay now she’s having a child
She finally got what she wants
She’s got someone who loves her

But this morning she woke up in pain
Nobody had to tell her 'cause she knew right away
So she started to cry
Because she won’t be a mother

Even though you feel all alone
It can’t rain everyday, it don’t rain forever
Your sunshine maybe gone but I know
It can’t rain everyday, it don’t rain forever

It don’t rain, it don’t rain forever
It can’t rain, it don’t rain forever

Rain down, rain down, rain down
Rain down on me
Rain down, rain down, rain down

You're the dark to light
You're never satisfied
You only know things
That will fail to be
The pessimistic one
Who sees the end to come
Every joy is lost to tragedy

And still you wonder why
You cannot find your peace today
Cause you were meant to live
For so much more than this
Now if only you could see

You could be standing out in the sun
Still the rain's coming down
Rain's coming down
There ain't a cloud in sight still
Your heartbeat's cold and grey every day

You know it brings me down
The way you drag around
Your heavy heart just like a stone
Well keep your misery
Don't put it all on me
Cause I've got problems of my own

You could be standing out in the sun
Still the rain's coming down
Rain's coming down
So keep your cloud of darkness
And doom off my parade
Here today

And if I could you know
I'd set off a spark
I would burn it out
I would burn it all the way
And purify your jaded
Cold calloused heart
Someday, I'll find a way

-Solo-

You could be standing out in the sun
Still the rain's coming down
Rain's coming down
There ain't a cloud in sight still
Your heartbeat's cold and grey every day

You could be standing out in the sun
Still the rain's coming down
Rain's coming down
Someday I'll steal the spark
That will burn your doubt away
I'll find a way

What have we done with innocence
It disappeared with time, it never made much sense
Adolescent resident
Wasting another night on planning my revenge

One in ten
One in ten
One in ten

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be a monkey wrench

All this time to make amends
What do you do when all your enemies are friends
Now and then I'll try to bend
Under the pressure wind up snapping in the end

One in ten
One in ten
One in ten

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be a monkey wrench

Temper
Temper
Temper

One last thing before I quit
I never wanted any more than I could fit into my head
I still remember every single word you said
And all the s*** that somehow came along with it
Still there's one thing that comforts me
Since I was always caged and now I'm free

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
(Fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench
(Fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench
(Fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench

I'm not gonna waste this
This opportunity's mine
I'm sick of complaining
About a beautiful life

How did we get here?
Did we forget all the things inside?
And how do we stay here?
Do we embrace all the things tonight?

I feel so alive tonight
You got me feeling sublime
I want to yell it from the rooftop down
Until it's over and we're older

For my entertainment
You tell a whimsical lie
To keep me complacent
You knock me down with a smile

How did we get here?
How do we pretend everything's alright?
And how do we stay here?
Do we erase all the fear inside?

I feel so alive tonight
You got me feeling sublime
I want to yell it from the rooftop down
Until it's over and we're older

Like sugar and cyanide
These walls are going to collide
I want to yell it from the rooftops down
Until it's over and we're older

So take me
But go slow
Let me hide somewhere I know
And let this
Seed grow
Until we finally call this home

So take me
But go slow
Let me hide somewhere I know
And let this
Seed grow
Until we finally call this home

If I was to die tonight
Would it tear you apart?
Would you yell it from the rooftops down?
Until it's over and you're older

I feel so alive tonight
You've me feeling sublime
I want to yell it from the rooftop down
Until it's over and we're older

Like sugar and cyanide
I wasn't meant to collide
I'm gonna yell it from the rooftops down
Until it's over and we're older

Even with a diagram of my DNA
I leave scientists baffled 'till the end of the day
They try to pick apart my life-style and how I survive
Making money for the boss while I make nickel and dime
And being on time, takin' a punch and doin' my best
Not ever hearing, 'Good job' and staying upset
It doesn't take to much to find the sediments they left behind

Put down the book, put up the walls
I'm never givin' up at all
What's yours is yours
What's mine is yours and I'll mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

Not even with ten men holding me back
Not even with a devious planned attack
Contemplating every move that I play
Willing the bad things all away
Keeping the worry-free happiness philosophy
That's what I let them see when they try to look at me

Put down the book, put up the walls
I'm never givin' up at all
What's yours is yours
What's mine is yours and I'll mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

Don't want out

These issues arise every day
Though you try to turn your head and walk away
Though it leaves you feeling insecure
You're gonna feel your life mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

You wake up late for school man you don't wanna go
You ask you mom, "Please?" but she still says "No!"
You missed two classes and no homework
But your teacher preaches class like you're some kind of jerk

You gotta fight
For your right
To paaaaaaaaaaaaaarty

You pop caught you smoking and he said "no way"
That hypocrite smokes two packs a day
Man, living at home is such a drag
Now your mom threw away your best porno mag
(Busted!)

You gotta fight
For your right
To paaaaaaaaaaaaaarty

You gotta fight

Don't step out of this house if that's the clothes you're gonna wear
I'll kick you out of my home if you don't cut that hair
Your mom busted in and said "What's that noise?"
Aw, mom you're just jealous; it's the Beastie Boys

You gotta fight
For your right
To paaaaaaaaaaaaaarty

PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRTY
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarty
