"At The Library"

Hey there lookin' at me
Tell me what do you see
But you quickly turn your head away
Try to find the words I could use
Don't have the courage to come up to you
My chance is looking a bit grey

Starting across the room
Are you leaving soon?
I just need a little time

What is it that drives me mad
Girls like you that I never had
What is it about you that I adore?
What makes me feel so much pain?
That makes me go so insane
What is it about you that I adore?

Starting across the room
Are you leaving soon?
I just need a little time

Why did you have to leave so soon?
Why did you have to walk away?
Oh well it happened again
She walked away with her boyfriend
Maybe we'll meet again someday.

"I Saw My Parents Kissing Santa Claws"

I saw daddy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe
Last night
He didn't see me creep
down the stairs to have a peek
[Mike screams "Oh GOD!"]
He thought I was up in the bedroom fast asleep

Then, I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus
Underneath the Christmas tree last night
there must be some mistake
was I really awake?
I move in closer, but better look away

[Mike and Billie make barfing noises]

"J.A.R. (Jason Andrew Relva)"

My friend drove off the other day
Now he's gone and all they say
Is you gotta live cause life goes on
But now I see I'm mortal too
and I cant live my life like you
Gotta live it up while life goes on

And I think it's alright
That I do what I like
Cause thats the way I wanna live
Its how I give
And I'm still giving

And now I wonder bout my friend
And if he gave all he could give
Cause he lived his life like I live mine
If you could see inside my head
Then you would start to understand
The things I value in my heart

And I think it's alright
That I do what I like
Cause thats the way I wanna live
Its how I give
And I'm still giving

You know that
I know that
You're watching me

And I think it's alright
That I do what I like
Cause thats the way I wanna live
Its how I give
And I'm still giving

Gotta make a plan
Gotta do what's right
Can't run around in circles
If ya wanna build a life
But I don't wanna make a plan
For a day far away
While im young and while I'm able
All I wanna do is...

"Johnny Be Good"

[Originally by Chuck Berry]

Way down Louisiana close to New Orleans,
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens...
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood,
Where lived a country boy name of Johnny B. Goode...
He never ever learned to read or write so well,
But he could play the guitar like ringing a bell.

Go Go
Go Johnny Go
Go Go
Johny be good

He use to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
And sit beneath the trees by the railroad track.
Oh, the engineers used to see him sitting in the shade,
Playing to the rhythm that the drivers made.
People passing by would stop and say
Oh my that little country boy could play

Go Go
Go Johnny Go
Go Go
Johny be good

His mama told him someday he would be a man,
And he would be the leader of a big old band.
Many people coming from miles around
To hear him play his music when the sun go down
Maybe someday his name would be in lights
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight.

"Life During Wartime"

[Originally by Pinhead Gunpowder]
[Billie Joe Armstrong solo version]

Yeah we say making changes starts in the little things you do
Revolution begins at home but for most of us it ends there too, and
Doing something we're making changes like changing the brand of crap we buy,
We say it makes a difference but that's just another lie.

It used to be Us and Them and You and Me.
And now we can't reach our potential without a common enemy,
A real war to fight against, set of our petty disagreements,
How can I rationalize my life during wartime lie.

A call to action and a reaction,
Taking our lives in our own hands,
Instead of sitting around and talking about the same old shitty bands.

But war is going on right now,
And I'm not doing anything about it,
Without a crowd I'm not so loud,
I can't do anything by myself,
But that's just another lie.

"Like A Rat Does Cheese"

[Sung by Tre Cool]

Suck my dick until your lips fall off.
Don't make me ask again please.
Put it down your throat until it makes you cough.
Nibble on my dick like a rat does cheese.

Well you're from the south your a special kind of girl.
Put my nuts in your mouth bitch just like you was a squirrel.
Work on the shaft, cradle on the balls.
Baby just don't bite it, get it on get it on.

Suck my dick until your lips fall off.
Don't make me ask again please.
Put it down your throat until it makes you cough.
Nibble on my dick like a rat does cheese.

Well why don't you go down and a hook a brother up?
Swallow it on down or spit it in a cup.
Wipe it on your t-shirt let it dribble down your chin.
Smoke a couple Newports and suck that dick again.

Suck my dick until your lips fall off.
Don't make me ask again please.
Put it down your throat until it makes you cough.
Nibble on my dick like a rat does cheese.

"Maria"

She smashed the radio with the board of education
Turn up the static left of the state of the nation

Turn up the flame, step on the gas
Burning the flag at half mast
She's a rebel's forgotten son
An export of the revolution

She is the first voice of the last ones in the line
She'll drag the lake to keep the vendetta alive

Bring in the head of the government
The dog ate the document
Somebody shot the President
And no one knows where Maria went?

Maria, Maria, Maria,
Where did you go?

Be careful what you're offering
Your breath lacks the conviction
Drawing the line in the dirt
Because the last decision
....is no.

"Mechanical Man"

[Performed by Billie Joe Armstrong]

I ain't a politician
I'm just a bad musician
Whatcha gonna do for me?

Do you have a taste for
Sex and blood and hate, or
Really good LSD

I'd like to start a band with
I'll sing and you can
Learn to play the tambourine

Here's an invitation
No time for hesitation
Come and join my family

[Chorus]
I live inside of you
But you don't belong to me
I'm a reflection of you
What's my recipe?

Half a cup satanical
Teaspoon puritanical
Stir it with a bloody hand
Quarter cup messiahcal
Sprinkle of maniacle
Now I'm a mechanical man

I'll give you the heads up
Come on and get your legs up
This is called the family jam

Together we'll stay hidden
Wait for Armageddon
Stick it to the man

[Chorus]

[Charlie (laughs):] "Watch this shit, woman! Gonna learn somethin' right now."

[Singing]
Open up the curtains
Then we'll start hurting
Come on lets do the creepy crawl
The shows about to go down
Come I got the low down
Together we'll make Hollywood fall

I live inside of you
But you don't belong to me
I'm a reflection of you
What's my recipe?

I live inside of you
But you don't belong to me
I'm a reflection of you
What's my recipe?

I live inside of you
But you don't belong to me
I'm a reflection of you
You look at me and what do you see?
A half a cup satanical, a teaspoon puritanical,
Stirred with a bloody hand
A quarter cup messiahcal, a sprinkle of maniacal
And now I'm a mechanical man
A half a cup satanical, a teaspoon puritanical,
Stirred with a bloody hand
A quarter cup messiahcal, a sprinkle of maniacal
And now I'm a mechanical man

"Minnesota Girl"

Sittin' on the hood of a camaro
Walkin' shooting stars across the earth
Counting all the bites from the mosquitoes
There goes my Minnesota girl

Lazy days
Gone without notice
In a daze... with faraway eyes

Driving to a closed spot Wednesday afternoon
There goes my Minnesota girl

In a daze
Go without notice
Lazy days....with faraway eyes

Countin' from the pieces we have been through
Here comes my Minnesota girl
There goes my Minnesota girl

"Poprocks & Coke"

"Shoplifter"

Shoplifter, you'll never learn
When you commit the crime
Shoplifter, you're getting burned
And now you gotta do the time

It's a 1, 2, 3 on the felony
Well not everything is free
Now that you served the community
It's the life of a petty thief

It's not considered stealing
Unless you're getting caught
But you'll be caught stealing
Tryin' to take something you haven't got

Shoplifter, you'll never learn
What lies behind your back
Not a burgler or a bankrobber
Just a kleptomaniac

It's not considered stealing
Unless you're getting caught
But you'll be caught stealing
Tryin' to take something you haven't got

Shoplifter, you'll never learn
When you commit the crime
Shoplifter, you're getting burned
And now you gotta do the time
Oh now you gotta do the time
Well now you gotta do some time

"Teenage Lobotomy"

[Originally by Ramones]

Lobotomy!
Lobotomy!
Lobotomy!
Lobotomy!

DDT did a job on me
Now I am a real sickie
Guess I'll have to break the news
That I got no mind to lose
All the girls are in love with me
I'm a teenage lobotomy

Slugs and snails are after me
DDT keeps me happy
Now I guess I'll have to tell 'em
That I got no cerebellum
Gonna get my Ph.D.
I'm a teenage lobotomy

Lobotomy!
Lobotomy!
Lobotomy!
Lobotomy!

DDT did a job on me
Now I am a real sickie
Guess I'll have to break the news
That I got no mind to lose
All the girls are loving me
I'm a teenage lobotomy

"The Angel And The Jerk"

Your gonna miss me miss me when I'm gone
Your gonna miss me miss me when I'm gone
Can't you see there's something wrong
Gonna miss me miss me when I'm gone

On a night just like tonight
Below my window pussies fight
I'm gonna be so far away
Exactly like you are today
You must have thought you really scored
'Cause we're the Angel and the Jerk
You know I love to be ignored
Just take for granted all my work

Your gonna miss me miss me when I'm gone
Your gonna miss me miss me when I'm gone
Can't you see there's something wrong
Your Gonna miss me miss me when I'm gone

Look at me......
Who do you see?.....
Am I a mirror to your moods...?

Today's the day......
I break away.....
I'm pulling on my walking boots

Your gonna miss me miss me when I'm gone
Your gonna miss me miss me when I'm gone
Wake up, stupid! something's wrong
Gonna miss me miss me when I'm gone

I always hope you'd be the one
That's gonna meet me eye-to-eye
I must be brighter than the sun
Or else you've gone completely shy
Am I handy poltergeist?
By day a busy little elf
A saint to rival Jesus Christ
You'd better feed and clothe yourself

Your gonna miss me miss me...

"The Ballad Of Wilhelm Fink"

Said that I'd meet you
At the Berkeley Marina
3 AM when no one will be found

All I got in mind
Is a Boone's Farm jug of wine
Smash a bottle in the parking lot

But considering our luck
We'll get busted by the cops
Instead of sex we'll go to jail
Another lesson learned and failed

Instead of sex we'll go to jail
Another lesson learned and failed

"The Kids Are Alright"

[Originally by The Who]

I don't mind all the guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
And I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind where the kids are alright...
The kids are alright....

Sometimes, I know I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind where the kids are alright...
The kids are alright....

I know if I go things would be a lot better for her
I had this plan but her folks wouldn't let her
I don't mind, I feel i gotta get away
Bells chime, i know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't I'll go out of my fuckin' mind
Better leave her behind where the kids are alright...
The kids are alright....
The kids are alright....
The kids are alright....

"The Saints Are Coming"

[The Skids Cover]

There is a house in New Orleans, they call the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many a poor boy, and God, I know I'm one.

I cried to my daddy on the telephone,
how long now?
Until the clouds unroll and you come home,
the line went.
But the shadows still remain since your descent,
your descent.

I cried to my daddy on the telephone,
how long now?
Until the clouds unroll and you come home,
the line went.
But the shadows still remain since your descent,
your descent.

The saints are coming, the saints are coming.
I say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply.
The saints are coming, the saints are coming.
I say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply.

A drowning sorrow floods the deepest grief,
how long now?
Until the weather change condemns belief,
how long now?
When the night watchman lets in the thief
Whats wrong now?

The saints are coming, the saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply.
The saints are coming, the saints are coming
I say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply.
I say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply.
I say no matter how I try, I realise there's no reply.

"Things I Heard Today"

Well the things that I heard today
It's not worth listening or to say
Struggle hold you can't get out of
I've got no love for you
And the day is dragging on and on
It makes you feel that much more alone
As its getting faster
No disaster
Once you say..how long..
How long can we go on
I hear it all going wrong
So shut your hole
There's something wrong with
The things I heard today

There's always talking and you say shut up
You've got your problems with what's going on
Your tragedy is going stale
You're on a bridge and you cant budge
Well the Saturday night is getting old
All the week you're doing what you're told
You start the fight and you pull the plug
Next morning your face down in the mud

How long can we go on
I hear it going on and on and on
So shut your hole
There's nothing wrong with
The things I heard today...

They talk you say shut up
You've got your problems with what's going on
You tragedy is going stiff
You're on a bridge and you cant budge
Well the Saturday night is getting old
All the week you're doing what you're told
You start the fight and you pull the plug
Next morning your face down in the mud

How long can we go on
I hear it all going, going wrong
So shut your hole
There's nothing wrong with
The things I heard today...
The things I heard today...

"Too Much, Too Soon"

She's always living like she's running out of time
Too much just ain't enough to keep her satisfied
Her plastic card is filled with nothing comes to mind
It's now her occupation that she's overqualified

The looks are always so deceiving
The truth is always misconstrued

To you...
Too much too soon
Too little and now your coming unglued
Too much too soon
Too late and now it sucks to be you
Too much too soon
Too little and now your coming unglued
Too much too soon
Too late and now it sucks to be you too

He's talking shit about how it's better way back when
He lives every waking moment as means to an end
We are we are but I'm not
I never used to be
So god bless your fucking past and to hell with your glory

The looks are always so deceiving
The truth is always misconstrued

Too much too soon
Too little and now your coming unglued
Too much too soon
Too late and now it sucks to be you
Too much too soon
Too little and now your coming unglued
Too much too soon
Too late and now it sucks to be you too

She packs her bags and says goodbye and bon voyage
Farewell we'll see you in hell I hope you rest in pieces
Fuck you
Oh..oh oh oh oh...
Oh..oh oh oh oh...

Too much too soon
Too little and now your coming unglued
Too much too soon
Too late and now it sucks to be you
Too much too soon
Too little and now your coming unglued
Too much too soon
Too late and now it sucks to be you too

Woah...oh oh oh oh..

"We Are The Champions"

[Originally by Queen]

I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
But I've come through

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end -
We are the champions -
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world -

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls -
You brought me fame and fortuen and everything that goes with it
- and some fucking great cheers
I thank you all -

But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting - till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions - of the world

"Working Class Hero"

[John Lennon cover]

As soon as your born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and you're classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like all the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

If you want to be a hero, well just follow me
If you want to be a hero, well just follow me
