UNINVITED

I watched a bird flying through the air
I fell into a deep depression then
I don't know why but I can't compete
In the world today

I'm alone but I wish I could
I'm alone but I wish I could
I'm alone but I wish I could
Have you for my friend

I'm uninvited

I'm a perversion
Of a human being
I'm uninvited
I'm coming anyway

I found a picture of me at age five
In a town I can't recall
In a room with a shiny God
Watching over me

I'm alone but I wish I could
I'm alone but I wish I could
Have you for my friend

I'm uninvited

I'm a perversion
Of a human being
I'm uninvited
I'm coming anyway

I'm protected by everyone
I'm protected from everything
I don't know why but I can't compete
In the world today

(repeat choruses)


UPTIGHT

Been uptight for all my life
Been uptight, I'm real uptight
My doctor told me I'm about to crack
I'm gonna drop dead from a heart attack

Been uptight for way too long
Been uptight, I'm real uptight
I had a girl but I wore her down
She told me "man, you're too uptight to be around"

Get me the hell out of here
I'm running out of control
I'm uptight, I'm not thinking clear
And I'm ready now to blow

Tell me that I'm alright
Tell me I'm for real
I'm a fucking laboratory rat
And every breath I feel

Uptight
Uptight

La la la la la la la la
been uptight, I'm real uptight
I had a job but I got the shaft
They fired me for being a decaf hypochondriac

Get me the hell out of here
I'm running out of control
I'm uptight, I'm not thinking clear
And I'm ready now to blow

Tell me that I'm alright
Tell me I'm for real
I'm a fucking laboratory rat
And every breath I feel

Uptight
Uptight

I've been uptight for all my life
None of you get it do you?
None of you have a clue
I can't even leave my room
And when I wake up, I hide beneath my bed
I don't even eat, but I keep getting fatter

(repeat chorus)


ALL READYDOWN

I don't know why
I pretend that I'm complicated
When in reality I'm fucking blind

I'm like a rat on a wire
Trapped by the wind, afraid to move
I'm falling through you, I'm falling through time

Cheated
Left bleeding
Jump, all readydown
All readydown
All readydown

I woke up today
With a real contempt for who I am
I called to warn you, I called you in a panic

Am I painful to look at baby?
You had to peel me off the bathroom floor
I feel like I should thank you for being catholic

Cheated
Left bleeding
Jump, all readydown
All readydown
All readydown


BALD MARIE

Hey Bald Marie
I like your record collection
Hey Bald Marie
I like your leather jacket

You act tough and free
you're shaking like a virgin mother
Hey Bald Marie
I want you with me

Tell me what do you want
Tell me how you wish it could be
Tell me what do you want
Tell me what kind of friend you need

Tell me what do you want
I can only give you my time
Tell me what, tell me what
I'm coming up hard like heat checkered divine

I don't want your reputation
I want you

Afternoon
Crawled out of the morning
Afternoon
Contorted into night

You turn me on
When you do your Katherine Hepburn
Hey Bald Marie
I want you with me

Tell me what do you want
Give me a number I can call
Tell me what do you want
Write it all down on the kitchen wall

Tell me what do you want
I can only give you my time
Tell me what, tell me what
I'm coming up hard like heat checkered divine

I don't want no complications
I want you

Don't let it get you down
Your doctor told you why
Don't let it bring you down

Hey Bald Marie
You're my revolution
Hey Bald Marie
You're my Kennedy

Driving round and round
I better take you home
Bald Marie
I want you with me

Tell me what do you want
Tell me how you wish it could be
Tell me what do you want
Tell me what kind of friend you need

Tell me what do you want
I can only give you my time
Tell me what, tell me what
I'm coming up hard like heat checkered divine

I don't want your reputation
I want you


MISSION IDIOT

I could worry
Worry about you
I've been through that
All before

I could lie back
And let you fade out
If you think any other friend
Would do more

I believed you
When you held up your head
And bullshit your way
Out of time

Could it be that
I'm over you
Or maybe I'm tired
Of keeping you alive

I can't make it go away
I can't make it

I could show you
How pathetic you are
You've been lying to me
All along

Put a mirror
In front of you now
Take a good look
And tell me that I'm wrong

Every hour
Every minute you wait
Forget about counting on me
To come through

You're collected
And ready to break
I'm not gonna hold your hand
Like a fool

I can't make it go away
I can't make it

If I could put an end
To your mission idiot
I'd want you here with me my friend

I could worry
Worry about you
But I've been through that
All before

I could lie back
And let you fade out
If you think any other friend
Would do more

I can't make it go away
I can't make it go away

If I could put an end
To your mission idiot
I'd want you here with me my friend


AMNESIA

Toleration can wear thin
With the pathetic shape I'm in
What money, love and friendship bring
I want to forget everything

Shoo - rah yeah, yeah
Amnesia
Shoo - rah yeah, yeah
Amnesia

Walk me through my memory
Commitment, heartbreak, therapy
You'd like to think you know me well
I look familiar, but who can tell

Shoo - rah yeah, yeah
Amnesia
Shoo - rah yeah, yeah
Amnesia
What can I do
I forget why I need you
time can't change me now

I keep your picture in a jar
To remind me how and what you are
And you call me paranoid
Compared to you, I'm confident as shit

Get married, have a kid, fight back the weather
I never been a good liar under pressure
I wanna get away, I wanna run away now

Toleration can wear thin
With the pathetic shape I'm in
What money, love and friendship bring
I want to forget everything

(repeat choruses)


NEUROTICA

Put your left foot in
Cut your left ear off
Shake it all about
Watch your time, don't you be late up here again

Doctor, down my throat
I found a big black hole
A little yellow pill
How can I ever show my appreciation

I'm feeling nothing
No pain or fear
I think I love my life
Neurotica
Neurotica
Neurotica

Put your right foot in
Baa baa baa baa baa baa
Can't get it up with a girl
And not freak out every time the telephone ring

Doctor, in my brain
I found a big white light
And a chemical creme
I blackout then I come to in a dream

I'm feeling nothing
No pain or fear
I like that guy named me
Neurotica
Neurotica
Neurotica

Do you like the change in me
I'm calmer now, I've calmed down quite a bit
I'm milked like a junkie queen
Propped up in my luxury, medicated for control

Put your left foot in
Cut your left ear off
Shake it all about
Watch your time, don't you be late up here again

Doctor, down my throat
I found a big black hole
A little yellow pill
How can I ever show my appreciation

(repeat choruses)


DON'T SHUT ME OUT

I threw that old 45 away
It reminded me of you, every time it played
I don't need no memory to show
Show me 'round the pain again, I feel it
Every time you go

Should I hold my breath and count to five
Every time you turn your head, whenever you
Break down and cry
You let me pour it out then you interrupt my heart
Together we could rule the world but we're better off apart

Shove every word
Back in your mouth
Don't walk away

Don't shut me out
Don't shut me out

I woke up Monday morning in your bed
I called up everyone I knew, you know the fame went to my head
By afternoon you found me on the roof
Buried in your diary and choking on the truth

I threw that old 45 away
It reminded me of you every time it played
I don't need no memory to show
Show me 'round the pain again, I feel it
Every time you go

Shove every word
Back in your mouth
Don't walk away
Don't shut me out


PERVERT

I'm behind you
At five o'clock each day
On our way home
But you don't even know my name

And I keep thinking what I shouldn't be
And now I'm playing with what I shouldn't be

I feel my heartbeat
Pounding in my hand
I feel powerful
When I pretend to be a man

And I keep thinking what I shouldn't be
And now I'm playing with what I shouldn't be
Don't judge me blind
I'm a product of my time
And I'm blowing my mind on the rush hour train

I'm all dirty, I'm all covered
In my filth again tonight
I feel like putting a bullet in my brain
But I'm afraid to die
I feel like putting a bullet in my brain
But I'm afraid to die

I'm behind you
At five o'clock each day
On our way home
But you don't even know my name

And I keep thinking what I shouldn't be
And now I'm playing with what I shouldn't be
Don't judge me blind
I'm a product of my time
And I'm blowing my mind on the rush hour train


I KILLED MEG THE PROM QUEEN

I think she came from California
Like the flavor of the month
She had a big fat bitchy mouth
And kept it open way too much

I couldn't take it when she blew me off
When I couldn't get it up
She'd tell the whole town, she'd tell the whole world
I had to shut her up

Doo run doo run everywhere _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Everywhere I go _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
People wanna shake my hand _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ CHORUS
I killed Meg the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I killed Meg the_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I killed Meg the Prom Queen _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

She had a turtle named McPumpkin
She read the Catcher in the Rye
Honor roll and a cheerleader
We all wished she'd choke and die

Now that I'm older, no I don't regret it
As a matter of fact I'm pretty good with it
I chopped her up in my Monte Carlo
And dumped her in a ditch

CHORUS

It made me a hero
In the community
They told me confidentially
"Forget it kid... you're covered"

CHORUS


I GREW UP

Bleeding in the dirt
I hear them laughing at me
Though I'm not really hurt
I'm crying like a baby

The teacher called me mother
She got very anger
"Good Lord, I've birthed a coward
What will I tell the family now?"

I grew up
In a jungle gym
I grew up

3:15 I'm running
From a 4th grade lynch mob
They have a need to hate me
I have a different haircut

The teacher called my father
He got all military
"Good Lord, I've reared a faggot
And I'm afraid he'll look like me "

I grew up
In a jungle gym
I grew up

One day I'll be free
And getting the fuck out of here will be
My revenge

Dump on me I don't care
I'll feed you all my garbage
I've waited my whole life for
A friend like you to want it

I grew up
In a jungle gym
I grew up

One day I'll be free
And getting the fuck out of here will be
My revenge
My revenge
My revenge
My revenge


G.I. YOUTH

I'll never be cool enough for the G.I.
I'll never write anything worth their time
I'll never play real enough for the G.I.
I'll never be their underground darling

Do you think they know I'm faking
Do you think they care I've got a life?

Look how they want me to beg for permission
Hear how they call me a failure when I try
I'll never reach the acne demographic
I'll never write anything worth their time

What can I do_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Where can I go_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The G.I. Youth_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Are in control_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ CHORUS
Are you one of them, well I_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I wanna be one too_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
You better not break down_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
When you're running with the G.I. Youth_ _ _ _ _

No brow-beat confession by the teenage militia
No big erection, no media whore
I'll never play real enough for the G.I.
I'm no tragic poet, I'm a bore

CHORUS

And when I die I wanna come back
A thirteen old virgin intact
With a mom and a dad who like my boyfriend
A room in rehab every weekend

CHORUS
