Sum 41- Half Hour Of Power

FAT LIP

Strolling to the party like my name is el niņo
Well I'm hanging out drinking in the back of an el Camino
As a kid, was a skid
and no one knew me by name
trashed my own house party
'cause nobody came

Well I know I'm not the one
you thought you knew back in high school
never going, never showing up when we had to
it's the attention that we crave
don't tell us to behave
I'm sick of always hearing act your age

I don't wanna waste my time
become another casualty of society
I'll never fall in line
become another victim of your deformity

Back down...

Because you don't know us at all
We laugh when old people fall
but what would you expect with a conscious so small
heavy metal, and mullets is how we were raised
Maiden and Priest were the gods that we praised

'Cause we like having fun at other peoples expense
and cutting people down is just a minor offence and
it's none of your concern
I guess I'll never learn
I'm sick of being told to wait my turn

I don't wanna waste my time
become another casualty of society
I'll never fall in line
become another victim of your deformity

Back down..

Don't count on me, to let you know when
Don't count on me, I'll do it again
Don't count on me, it's the point you're missing
Don't count on me, cause I'm not listening

Well I'm a no goodick lower middle class brat
back packed and I don't give a shit about nothing
you'll be standing on the corner talking all that kufuffin
but you don't make any sense with all the gas you'll be huffin'
'cause if the egg don't stain
you'll be ringin off the hook
you're on the hit list
wanted in the telephone book
I like songs with distortion
drinking in proportion
the doctor said my mom should've had an abortion

I don't wanna waste my time
become another casualty of society
I'll never fall in line
become another victim of your deformity

Back down..

Waste my time with a casualty of society
Waste my time with a victim of your deformity

And back down

MACHINE GUN

well I'm up and I don't know why
but I guess that's all that counts
looking 'round as I'm holding my head
and I'm in somebody's house
the sun it hits like a punch in the face
with a headache I can't ignore
seems almost every weekend my bed is someone's floor
and so I can't keep this up
I have had enough

eating cold pizza on the side of the curb
to cover up my morning breath of gin
something doesn't seem to sit with me right
it's going out the way it went in
and so I can't keep this up
I have had enough
'cause you can count me out
I'm on to you
'cause you can count me out
I'm tired of leaving my embarrassments behind

WHAT I BELIEVE

lies and deceiving is what I'm believing
up to my knees so hard to breathe
it helps that you aren't there
can't figure out what's the right thing for me
guess I'll have to wait and see

so understanding but so far from the truth
it's what I have to live with
it's not all I wanted to be
it's not all I wanted to see
I can't keep on leading
I've left what I'm leaving
guess that's just what I believe

consciously taking and overly faking
I can't believe all the things that you're saying
seems all so simple it's all up to you
time after time
you lost what you couldn't find
it's what you could (what you could)
it's only what you could (it's what you could)
don't take what you could
but I know what's up

so understanding but so far from the truth
it's what I have to live with
it's not all I wanted to be
it's not all I wanted to see
I can't keep on leading
I've left what I'm leaving
guess that's just what I believe

T.H.T.

you don't have the answers but you're always blaming me
it's only lies in your behalf in animosity
you decide it's up to you, make it what you'll be
after all you seem to be it makes no sense to me

don't point your finger at me
it's all you odyssey
you think it's all a game
so quick to point the blame
and now tables have turned
Shut up

MAKES NO DIFFERENCE

you're running fast and missing
but cannot help convincing
the reasons you gave me are all wearing thin
it's not meant to hurt you
but let me assure you
it's not what I said but
intentions you've read
so when you hold onto the past then you
will break down what little is left
yea there's nothing more
you can't ignore
and say it makes no difference to me

now that you're older life's weighing on your shoulders
can't seem to keep things so perfectly straight
with most things so basic
you might as well face it
you can't help but worry
it's all just begun
so when you hold onto the past then you
will break down what little is left
there's nothing more you can't ignore
and say it makes no difference to me

it makes no difference to me
it makes no difference to me
it makes no difference to me
it makes no difference to me

so when you hold onto the past then you
will break down what little is left
yeah, there's nothing more you can't ignore
and say it makes no difference to me
it makes no difference
it makes no difference to me
it makes no difference
it makes no difference to me

SUMMER

it's far beyond your reach
it holds a place in time
somewhere ahead is the back of the line
I can't relate
to your mistakes
awkwardly speaking with nothing to say

caught up in your life
excuses are so lame
you may be different but I'm still the same
the reasons that you thought
the attention that you drought
you say things are simple
we both know they're not
you can't let it go
you can't but I know
you don't even know
it's not in what you do
more in what you say
it's not in what you do
more in what you say
it's not in what you do
more in what you say
it's not in what you do
what you do

a million questions asked
the remnants of the past
you've always been denied
but I was always by your side
I've always tried to
to understand you
the world's not running from you

it's not in what you do
more in what you say
it's not in what you do
more in what you say
it's not in what you do
more in what you say
it's not in what you do
what you do

32 WAYS TO DIE

SECOND CHANCE FOR MAX HEADROOM

it's not enough you passed it for a while
you can't afford the amass of denial
don't explain you can't arcane it too
your lies surpassed your doubt

don't do something you'll regret
don't do something you'll regret

it's not enough you passed it for a while
your mind's mistake
your time's mistake
time worth throwin all away

it's not enough attention
that you're too proud to mention
I can't go on pretending
that it's still the same

DAVE'S POSSESSED HAIR / IT'S WHAT WE'RE ALL ABOUT

Ever get the feeling no one's got your back
Caught up in themselves livin' lies besides the fact
Somehow you're going on an opposite track
As we recover from another social heart attack

You think you see between the lines
But you can't see through dollar signs
So sick and tasteless now
Immature and faceless how
Can I even sleep at night, you ask

You say you're a pacifist
Instead you wave your fist
And all the while it becomes the end again
Make up your mind cause I can't decide
You think unequalism makes you dignified
You can't see with half opened eyes
You think you're standing up
Instead you're falling far behind

What I do is what I choose,
Which makes it my decision
If your life was a book,
Your story would be fiction

RIDE THE CHARIOT TO THE DEVIL

ANOTHER TIME AROUND

in my years I've seen all sounds of misconception
in my years I've done all I can live to question
what happened to me I don't understand
I've seen all I can see as my time expands
bored I am bored of my own desperation
I can't defend can't find my own destination
what happened to me I don't understand
I've seen all I can see as my time expands
so what's up with you what's up with me
I'm not the one I can't pretend
what would I be if I did it all again
and I sometimes wish I would have asked some questions
then maybe I would have a clearer life perception
what's up with you what's up with me
