THINGS I NEVER SAIDtomorrow or next week
And you don't know if your gonna go
before your life has hit its peak
So do as much as you can but remember there is no tomorrow
'cause everything in this world has to end in sorrow
Last night I was lying in the sheets of a hospital bed
Last night I didn't know if today I'd be alive or dead
Last night I was dying between the sheets of a hospital bed
And all that I could think about were the things I never said
So if your gonna go please remember to say goodbye
'cause I'm not one to need a shoulder but I wouldn't have a dry eye
And I think back to our times together
It always makes me glad but the times that I will miss the most
are the times we never had
Last time in the world together Looked into his eyes and let out a sigh So much was left unsaid Don't take it the wrong way Last Words Last Words can't save I love you for another day Last time in the world together Last Words Last Words Last Words Last Words
They've lost all sense and reason they had
Well I can't leave my house 'cause when I walk down the street Well I guess it's up for me 'cause I hate everyone and I hate everything Well I hate punks and I hate skins The useless people the useless people
RUNNING AWAY Get back on the bus the driver said we're leaving now
Say you want to cross the border well its not gonna happen this time then he said I spent last night sleeping in a bathroom stall Bow down we are the children Bow down the children of misfortune Bow down
Dear friends, my life is over
As I, As I turn the corner
Take your hands off your face now
A Vagabond who's returned to his home
Fall down to your knees now
Understand why I got to leave this place
From my seat I watch another sunrise over another Greyhound parking lot
Hey now where you going where you going now For people it's hard to be civil when somebody goes and takes their seat
I sit between two black men They see me and they roll their eyes
A fight breaks out getting off the bus old people you're taking too much time
BREATHE AGAIN Late at night I walk alone Though the streets this is where I call home Then the rain starts falling on my head Thats o.k. I can breathe again Late at night I walk alone Through the streets this is where I call home
The pain of the world is something I keep inside of me I got something burning in my eye Surround myself with people they don't understand me They have ideas They think they know me
NOTHING NEW Well I'm young and it's shoved in my face said a boy with a discontent look on his his face my story has been told a thousand times by a thousand different men We live We die We Survive and it seems like everything's been done Well there is a place right down the street where the thirty-something punks all like to meet

LAST WORDS
father and son few words to say
Last time in the world together
how was work how was your day
No tears were shed in the distance of a death bed
And he loved you so but you'll never know
He was already dead
but you know I'm sorry
I've been screaming my whole life
but never heard
father and son your last chance is today
Last time in the world together
father your son is walking away
EVERYONE EVERYTHING
Miserable people are all I meet
I don't understand it but some how they all get fed
And I think to myself as I walk down the street
Natural selection? I'm surrounded by the meek
ya the meek and me and the miserable people get fed
lets start something new today 'cause I don't want to live
but I don't want to die this way
Their self identity comes from the scene their in
They're the lost children of ours
They push real hard but they don't get very far
They cover me with a layer of filth and disease
The useless people have lost perspective
don't they know they've lost perspective
they make me sick they make me sick they make me fucking sick!!!
And it wouldn't bother me none to leave you behind
Canadian border is just a day away And if we don't make it well I won't get paid
and there's some people sitting on this bus with crossing on their minds
Well I was trying to make a phone call, but I was still short a dime
That when came a stranger walking right over to me
he said boy it looks like you could use some company
so turn around son can't you see that you're holding up the line
I don't like your attitude I don't like you clothes or the color of you hair
you got to be joking if you really thought that you'd be crossing here
Well I was sitting in imigration and the Stranger was sitting next to me
he told me the story of how he'd lost his diginty
he said he'd left his children, but there better without me
thats what you say when you can't support you own family
my head against the toliet, well, tomarrow I'll try the city of Blaine
and there, thats where you find him too drunk or stoned to cross the line
with them and the Stranger it feels like I've been doing time
for me for my children the Stranger said these words to me
if you come across them say at least you heard from me
People tell us lots of thing but we never understand what they say Bow down
And we all need someone to direct us through life
Someone to teach us how to walk but these kids are standing still
'cause they lost their mentor Bow down
VAGABOND
There is nothing here for me anymore
I walk through dark streets where
Lights cast no shadows on my face
Out of the darkness of the alley way
I see my reflection in a store front window
A figure stands there but I see no one
Take your hands off your face
Dry your tears dry your tears
They're not for me
Where no one knows his face anymore
Alone drug dealers and whores
are the only ones who approach me anymore
Fall down you're already there
Dry your tears Dry your tears they're not for me
Understand why I got to leave today
I gotta GO GO GO GO
NOWHERE FAST
It makes it hard to sleep 'cause I don't get to see this time of day a lot
A poor man's airplane its no way to travel
and it'ssomething say I won't do I never will
But I got no choice 'cause I'm spending all my money
going up north to see this girl named kill
Hey now where you going I'm going nowhere Going nowhere fast
Angrily a man he sets to the back making sure to step on everyone's feet
I smile but its no compensation for being born a whitebread
I know they're not really racist and it bothers me it even came to mind
they probably just think I look funny hopping on the bus with a fucking mohawk
a man from Chicago screams from the back he's got no time for standing in lines
Don't mind the silent streets they comfort me as I walk alone in my city
Don't mind my soaking feet 'Cause I been cured of all the smog and summer heat
BURNING IN MY EYE
The smile on my face is just the outside of me
The darkness of my soul is something I'll never show
There is a part of me that you'll never know
and the pain will always stay
It will never go away
'cause when I'm home no one ever sees me
And all my friends don't let me get upset
but thats O.K. it's something I don't regret
But until they ask They'll never know me
And until then I lack a true friend
they won't know me when I reach the end
Father said stay young you'll grow up in time but father my peers aren't friends of mine
I was walking home just the other day
when I realize there was nothing more to say
a thousand different ways I'm just like them with nothing new to say
I'll never be an original so I might as well cut out my tongue
they think they're pretty special but no one cares they're living their lives and still going nowhere
you don't get credibility for growing old
you were followers then you are follower now and like me you'll allways be an unoriginal
