Lyrics to Alison's Disease :
Can't believe Alison's disease
Florescent, the storelights describe the end
and I can't forget it
Demons can return. He caught up with her.
Murderous hands cripple her eyes and mind
and I can't blink so

Hail defeat. It's reached everyone.
Plague generation (our last one)
The sun will rise again.
Not for Alison
That's what I see when I look in her eyes
and I can't breath so

Hail defeat. It's reached everyone.
Plague generation (plague generation)

Maybe I can piece together
five cold days in late December.
Stories of a monster swallowed
in a snow covered Lake Tahoe.
Shining in her desperate despair,
Alison was there.
A moment I can freeze but she can't
be the same person se used to be.
Alison is gone. Alison is gone. (Alison is gone)

And Alison resides, on that frozen mountain side.
Thats what I see when I look in her eyes

Lyrics to Coconut :
Well the monkeys in the trees are happy
the coconuts are turning green,
the coconut boy climbs up to the top of the three

gathered a nice ?
put'em in a coconut sack
He climbs right down with the
coconuts on his backpack

and the wind blows through the coconut threes
the monkeys they hang on tight
the cuckoo bird sings at the "huc'alaa hula" tonight

Lyrics to S.O.S. :
s.o.s. in a state of emergency
the situations and the prying eyes
looking at me
is there no where i could go?
somewhere you couldn't see
s.o.s. in a state of emergency
so let's say for a second
i've grown attached
my life's a mess
i'm total waste
and the pills that they gave me
just give me the shits
i don't really work
i'm suppose to fit in
let's say just for a second
i'm only kidding
i'm well adjusted
let's say nothin' at all
in a state of emergency
i'm calling out to anyone
an s.o.s. in a state of emergency

Lyrics to The Chemist :
One more time, falling on new ground
bracing a chase lounge im a member
this one truth i can be discreet
words that escape me i remember

clarity watching eyes i cant see i cant read
passion-less vacation youre not telling anyone
the sum falls in a whole its chemistry chemical
Follow the pattern if you can stick around it will change again

One more line stable guess hollow why did I feel sick
misunderstanding tempting tolerance
youre not telling anyone im not telling anyone

this sounds atrocious, the miles horrific
this is ???? last words, ill hang on to mine
one more line, i can stay focused,
words that are atrocious im a member

lying out in the sun keep it like a secret
?and I may seem not full well?, all dried up and
here comes the chemist again, this is everything i am.

Lyrics to Tragic Vision :
In this faltering nation
the future belongs
to the children in school
There's something wrong
Sixth grader on crack
Handgun overflowing in his hands
Now he is just further demand
We search for the source
and still that child is left watching
Inhumanity, bloodshed
as the tele-violence feeds his head
(Chorus)
Only if he knew
the consequence of greed
A contious state of mind
T.V. is not reality
Never a victim the role model said
Bang bang, the bad guy is dead
Always a rockstar on eMpty T.V.
The lesson complete
Now the child has needs
Of competition they bleed
Oh beautiful for bills of green
Nevermind spacious skies overhead
Bleed the earth and butter your bread
(Repead Chorus)
Chils turns on T.V.
What dose he see?
Nature of man, dishonesty
That child grows old
Story be told
as he sits behind bars
and his soul grows cold

Lyrics to Foiled Again :
Realizing it's too late
Destiny turns to fate
Realizing it's to late now
Repeat
Now you say it's over
and the monkey's off your back
All it took was valium
and a couple of six packs
So once again you've lied
and your story remains the same
Beacuse misery loves companty
and you're the one to blame
It's Your life
and it's always the same
It's your life
and it's always the same to me

Lyrics to Bury The Hatchet :
I can't recall the hurting words that I once said
So long ago, still indignation clouds your head
And it's enough to know the pain of losing friends
You perpetuate certain sensless hate
and I can picture you today as you say
"I used to know that guy" And as you speak they watch your face split in two
And when you see me
It's always, hey Joe,
how is it goin' bro?
where have you been man?
We used to be such good friends
Two-faced, you don't care
You know what you can do with it
I can't pretend
and there you go again
You ought to bury the hatchet
and leave behind all of the lies
and your disguise
You know that I just want to
bury the hatchet
How much more will you permit?
Think about it you'll admit
you and I have got to bury the hatchet
Am I really all that bad?
Sometimes I second guess
Often times I wonder why my head is such a mess
But put yourself in my shoes and picture if you can
All these insecuriries create that bitter sad man you
see
hurting
Not me
I forgive, I forget
I won't say the things I'll regret
Not this time
I will stop, but just between you and me
it's a loss
I can't recall the hurting words that I once said
So long ago, still indignation clouds your head
'Cause it's enough to know the pain of losing friends
Fingers point at you
Isn't that what a child would do?
And as you speak they'd watch your face split in two
And when you see me
It's always, hey Joe,
how is it goin' bro?
where have you been man?
We used to be such good friends
Two faced, you don't care
You know what you can do with it
Hypocrite
Don't give me that shit

Lyrics to Angry Days :
Angry youth
MR. Elite
Your older now
Inside your head lives an old scene
MR. Punk
Sad and hating everyone
Your excuse is old
The way you felt has left you hating yourself
Cause everyone is so confused
You never worked for a cent
Self-destructive you pay your debt
Cause you miss another time
when all your friends were divine
Now all of them have gone or changed
Do you still live in angry days?
But when you've lost someone you love
When your mask is taken off
Does life cut you down to size?
Does it open up your eyes?
Beacuse they all have found their way
as you struggle through your maze
You built those walls of hate
Don't tell me it's too late

Lyrics to Noble End :
He grew up with nothing
He lived and died poor
a father of four
He left his family temporarily
for a future based on words of chicanery
They said join the Army
Join the Navy
He joined the Marines
and his children were proud
but exhaltation was exhausted
and patronage died
when this expendable number
left his family of five
Imposture
and all that man wanted was
to provide a better existence for
his kids and wife
An investment that cost him his life
A family of ethics has...
A fatality of war can't be noble enough
to justify the loss of life so young
Continental security
Atonement, there's no such thing
There was no hero in the end
Only letters of resent, remorse, regret
Bitter resent
Imposture
and all those boys wanted was
to be alive,
a return of existence yet
so many died
and those who returned were alone
with nothing awaiting at home
Again the headlines read
"A Noble Soldier Finds A Noble Ending"
They are the ones who can be done without
Expendable numbers forgotten
no doubt
A family of ethics has died

Lyrics to Child Inside :
Too many hangars in the closet
A clutter of confusion
Too little rectitude to hold
a moral absolute
Too much distinction to relate to them
Irresolutions we contemplate with no end
In this world of give and take
And what we refer to as maturity
from emotional need to technology
has you, a cultured seed of your society,
lacking ability to feel clemency
I'm surprized we still
bleed into the abyss of despair
that's hiding the child
Compassion you would not dare
admit to have experienced
Do you regret looking back?
A penitent confessing his sins
The child inside of me recalls a time of purity,
an outlook of release
You remember
Confident that you were able
A future laid out on your table
Running through memories
a child is free
The world restored you see
I see
The child inside of me

Lyrics to Bad Moon Rising :
(John Fogerty cover)

Lyrics to Beer Goggles :
The turn out tonight is weak
The crowd is looking meager
Only 40 to 50 in the flock
but 3 more beers and I'm playin' Woodstock
And you can probably see that we're not all that tight
A couple more drinks will alter your sight
That does not mean fight
I'm not saying I have to be drunk
but tequila shots make it more fun
I'm havin' fun
(Chorus)
Oh, Beer Goggles
I love to put them on
Next to eachother at the bar
She's thinkin' he's the one
I'm thinkin' where's my car
She thinks I look good
Obviously she didn't smell that fart
"Oh, what kind of cologne is that you're wearing?"
Hey man, it's a start
"Hi, my name's Barbie"
"My name's Ken"
The perfect couple 'cause we're drunk in the head
I'm drunk again
(Repeat Chorus)
And one size fits all!!!

Lyrics to Inspector Gadget :
(Instrumental)

Lyrics to Parents Guide To Living :
Wasting his days and his nights
Nothing's changed
Nothing's right
He has no sense of pride
Sees no respect in his parents eyes
and why should he care?
No one ever cared for him?
Wasting her nights and days
Sixteen with a child
God wouldn't have it any other way
And then they told her of shame
and that impurity made her bed
no fuckin' CHOICE
She took two lives instead
All these worthless nights
All these wasted days
Down the path I follow you
because who am I?
Denial
I still care
but it's my life in despair
Laughing harder
In self-concious
I've played my last solitaire
That shirt's too tight to wear
Wasting my days nad nights
Nothings changed
Nothings right
I know I'm not exactly
the parents guide to living
but it's the road less traveled
in this world so unforgiving
and I've lost count of score

Lyrics to Mr. Coffee :
Morning has broken
MR. Coffee has spoken
The familiar wake-up call
sings to my ears
I wake up with a shrug
To the floor with a thud
Where in this hellhole is my coffee mug?
I can now face the day
on legal speed (The American way)
I'm sketching
I'm seizing
I'm spazing
I'm shaking
I can not stop spilling on my brand new shirt
I-I-I'm wired
I'm so inspired
I drank the entire pot
so off to work
Here I come to save the day
on legal speed (The American way)
Drinking coffee
I drink coffee
Drinking coffee everyday

Lyrics to Of Mind And Matter :
They spoke bravely
It opened our eyes
We swallowed their pride
A new era
So whee is the new advise
It seems the older methods no longer suffice
The very oldeest if thoughts
cast into the mold of these new times
Vindictive, he raises his fist
The animal is instinctive
Everyone desires peace
but indread of war,
still arms increase
Perpetual with only one end
When that savage nature destroys them all
All is written
All is forgiven
All is lived again
After all, this worthless progress
is progress made for change
After all these vain advances
does that concerned animal value his life?
Cornered
Human nature alive

Lyrics to Stop Whining :
Can't you see
we the people can make the choices
You and I must raise our voices
To build a future where we belong
Revoke oppression and right and wrong
But do you vote or do you only complain
Do you just carry on in vain
As your economy crashes,
your country goes to war
The deficit
Their answer to tax the poor
But you may never know
what you refuse to learn
Do you work the system
or do you get burned?
Do you ignore your abilities
or your intellect?
Are you obselete?
An easy out, you forget it all
but it's the hardest path
and you chase to follow
You wouldn't speak for yourself
and now you're spoken for
This is something you can not ignore
It's time
for you to notice
the things that die
with no more lies
You can't deny
You're always high
and you still bitch
Makes me sick
It makes me sick the way you always
fuckin' bitch
I remember a time when I thought it wasn't fair
The scales of justice did impair
but with no darkness
theere would never be light
there would never be light
Without injustice we'd never have a right

Lyrics to Lag Wagon (All aboard) :
Unemployment is my scene
Brain dead - the fumes I breath
Blah Blah Blah BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla
Carp is a town, not a fish
Too dumb to care
The S.B.-Goleta connection
Feelin' like a champion
All aboard the lagwagon
It's fast enough for me
Slow
Me-and-my friends
on the couch
Give me a sofa and some snacks
The idiot box-that T.V. trash
The V.C.R.-some stupid films
The remote control
Fuck the bills
There's no point in a job
The pay just sucks if you're a slob
I'm not lying
I'm lazy
and all my friends are just like me
(Chorus)
Garga jibs and metal riffs
Beer bings and bing hits
I hate that scene
Santa Barbara boredom
Goleta-postmortem
Small town minds
can you relate to me?
(Repeat Chorus)
All aboard the lag wagon!!!

Lyrics to Island Of Shame :
One summer morning
He left us ashamed
In some small town of small ways
The one they feared
They might turn to stone
They feared to hold his hand
And he died alone
Don't leave them on - an island of shame
Your solution
You - homophobic
You - coward
You send them away to an island of misery
You're not immune to any disease
I can not argue when the truth is plain to see
In your beliefs, your fear of death
I see reflections of society
We'll take our last breath - alone
Adding insult to injuries - He was alone

Lyrics to Lazy :
I just lost my job
I just lost my girl
things are getting way out of con(trol)
but my living proff is writing me
Thrust me down,I'll never leave
over head and guilt tv
Im burn't out and lazy
looking, dwealing, fuck me
Look at my cat, why can't I live like that
all of the animals except a few
do nothing else but eat and shit
yesterday was not the time
in my belt , in my mind, Im lazy
Fuck you!

Lyrics to Know It All :
Look at the world in disbelief
You used to follow - now you lead
College has enlightened you
And you are proud to be different
And like different bands - different types
You ain't nobody's fool
It's like certain bands remind you of someone you hated
'Cause they didn't wear the right clothing
And there's only one true fashion
Alot of the bands on the college charts are great bands
until they get signed. Then you hate them
It's such bullshit - you used to love them you hypocrite
I remember you and I listening to bands that we liked
Only the songs mattered to you
But now you're a D.J. and preaching that hype
"Corporate Rock Sucks"
"You know, college radio enlightens you"
It's supposed to serve as a means to expose new bands
without prejudice, but it makes no sense
Safe harbor for the underground
'Til the alternative becomes the popular sound
The bands are good 'til they make enough cash
to eat food and get a pad
Then they're sold out and their music is cliché
Because talent's exclusive to bands without pay
Know it all - Did you really listen to that song?
Could you ever write what you call wrong?

Lyrics to Stokin' The Neighbors :
Friday night's the perfect night to mow some neighbor's lawn,
And Dave is drunk and at the helm before too long.
And Chris will gladly ride shotgun, 'cause navigating seems like fun,
Drunk and out of gas, they drive around and crash.

They're driving through your yard, there's nothing you can do,
Dave's behind the wheel, and he's had more than just a few.
Suburban families slumber in civility,
Awakened to the sights and sounds of the yard they're blowing down in their
death machine.

Drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive...

Dave's a midnight landscaper, and he's working overtime,
And he is full throttle -- full throttle tonight. (Alright!)
He was almost home, just one more block, he had to hit that last mailbox,
Dumped it in a ditch, ain't that a bitch? (Stoking the neighbors!)

Came time to run, came time to bail,
He was having too much fun to spend the night in jail.
He had no "Triple A" for a tow truck,
Called them anyway: Goleta, hear them say, "Hey pal, you're fucked!"

Dave's a decent guy, like most of us, until he drinks,
And then his liquid mind takes over how he thinks.
And then all that matters is having fun, pulling off the next beer run,
On one too many nights, the party's over.

He's driving through your yard, there's nothing you can do,
Dave's behind the wheel, and he's had more than one or two.
Suburban families slumber in civility,
Awakened to the aftermath: the neighbors have been stoked...

Lyrics to Give It Back :
Trying to ignore him
Trying to have self control
When that tounge slips just once
It's in his eyes

Thank you...

Silence my energy
Push me down
And the laughs they come again
Here to make you listen to them
Treated to many times
The eye for eye has left us blind
This creature of demise
Repaid all mankind (???)

You hate them
You hate yourself
Take it out on someone else

I feel a change within myself
I used to be out of control
I always knew anger and pain
That inspiration was a gain/game (???)
But now it seems as I grow old
As I mature I'm lesser bold (???)

I can't believe how cruel and cold some people act
I give it back

Cause I don't want it and I don't need it
So I give it back
Cause I don't want it and I don't need it

Don't wanna understand the child abuse, the past on violence
Don't justify his violent nature

Soon or later I hope he meets his maker once again
And like his father before him kills himself

Cause I don't want it and I don't need it
So I give it back
Cause I don't want it and I don't need it

You hate them
You hate yourself
Take it out on someone else

Lyrics to Rust :
They make your bed, don't they
Long ago they fought and died for faith - what's changed ?
It's said that we've acquired tolerance to build more bridges
Cross those rivers, yet modern man enslaves his conscious
and the undertow of blame still flows between
Give it birth to the machine - hostilities of ancestry
Slow to understand the variance - quick to judge on one aspect - rust
We call them fools today - they will call us fools in days to come - always
In any age it's ignorance
He that he's not with me is against me
The river of pride swells to high, washing those bridges out to sea
Give it birth to the machine
Too proud to love - Too proud
Soaking in your fears - rusting away
Never comprehending - always condescending
Slow to understand the variance - quick to judge - quick to condem
Carried them for years - stones that they once cast
Place the blame on them as if it were their past
Yesterdays distrust
Resent, Regret, disgust
Still we pay for their living
Pay for their mistakes
Who will cast the latest stones of hate
Pay for their misgivings
Pay for their living
Still we find that on the surface there is rust
