Lyrics to Tommy :
(Jesus James Chesterson)

Tommy Shea

Tommy Shea

Now Tommy Shea was just 22 years old
Sketchy lanky blonde brave and bold
He walked the strip of Newbury Street in Boston
He never noticed me cause I was a kid and only 10 now
He used to skank it up like I never ever saw
That Tommy kid yeah he really had really fucking had it all
Black boots flak jacket shaved head and all
That kid was a wrecking shop
Yeah he was a fucking wall

Remember when Tommy used to say
Oi Oi
Remember when Tommy used to scream
Oi Oi

I throw my Pac-Man shirt on (I throw my Pac-Man shirt on)
My cordoroys and my velcro on my feet
Because I never knew what was going on (what's going on)
Until I found Boston's own Middle East
Because upstairs downstairs I didn't give a care
I was happy just hearing all the ska blare
A funny thing a thing that made me just so fat so
In 82 I guess it's worth it to take a look back

Remember when Tommy used to say
Oi Oi
Remember when Tommy used to scream
Oi Oi

[Chorus:]

Tommy kicked ass in 82
He kicked ass in 82
Tommy kicked ass in 82
That's right he kicked ass in 82

Hey Tommy where did you go
I wanna find you to let you know
This sketchy song is just for you
I'm not kidding I really wanna find you
Hey Tommy where did you go
I wanna find you to let you know
This sketchy song is just for you
I'm not kidding I used to wanna be like you

Remember when Tommy used to say
Oi Oi
Remember when Tommy used to scream
Oi Oi

[Chorus]

Tommy kicking ass I said in 82 well all right now
I said he kicked ass in 82 that's right
I said he kicked ass in 82 come on
I said he kicked ass in eighty-ty eighty-ty two

Lyrics to Take Another Look :
you said that i didn't turn out right you said i screwed it up you said that it was all for nothing and that I made mistakes from the start (take, take another look, take another look at me) you hate all the friends around me, but what about all the liars you got, you hate everything about me cause you're perfect and i'm not [chorus] and i can't forget the reasons and i won't forget why i can't bond with you like you said we used to and you ruined a piece of my life, now my memories bleed for remembrance smiles with you are pictures in a book, and i won't wish we were the way were until you take another look

Lyrics to She Won't Ever Figure It Out :
(she won't ever figure it out she won't ever figure it out) you're the one that they complain to - you take the time you give advice, you take the time you give advice - you're the one that they complain to - you take the time you give advice, she's gonna go back (catch on) no matter what he says or does, she's gonna go back (catch on) the drama's what she loves [repeat] don't be dumb can't you see don't be dumb
can't you see [chorus]

Lyrics to Fatman :
(he never minded - he never cared - he walks with his shirt off - he walks and we stare don't laugh, don't mock, don't snicker don't point, he's happy to be alive he's happy that's the point) (well i think that) they're all called charlie yet probably not, they're always sweating buckets, skins beating red hot, well it's like do you think you'll make it home ok, because step after step you'll be digging your grave they're good they got it they know what they need life's better for them for them i see, they ignore what they hate and keep what they like, this time i'm going to do it right - see him, in a store walking down the aisle, on his face a great big smile can't be certain move from side to side, celebrating living is his passion and his pride out of control, asleep at the wheel, dave's got a friend and his name is neil [chorus] (manchester, singing beach, 2:00) a beached whale he tries to flip over now, can't, move, sand, what, tries to thrash around while the tide starts to move in, god i hope charlie swims now a red bellies floating around, all the kids are jumping off him on the beach there's a crowd, he doesn't mind in fact i think i see a smile, fatman's playing all the while, thinking of the time when he thought that no one cared, celebrating apathy controlled yet unaware, wondering if people thought that he was dumb and slow, maybe i don't know, but i don't think so, slip n' slide out on the lawn so sad those days are gone, grass stains on all of his clothes, got yelled at by his mom - well i'm fine now you wonder why now i always had my self respect never had a single doubt, never let your words cut through me, through me, it's those words that took his laughter, it's those words that took his pride,
it's those words that left you helpless all alone you wonder why [repeat] [chorus]

Lyrics to Are You Just Scared? :

Lyrics to G.l.d. :
g.l.d. she's all over me she's a sketchy sketchy girl and i know that you'll agree, when i was invited to climb into her bed, i just rolled over and pretended i was dead, (she's an elf, it's not ok, she's short - short, stupid - stupid so lame I want her to leave me alone I want to go home) G.L.D. can't believe you brought her by, like lice from the sea can't believe she multiplied, after clearing out the room don't you think you all should leave, how'd you ever trick my friend how'd you brainwash steve [chorus]

Lyrics to Myself :
can someone tell me what i'm seeing it's something lost but still I'm reaching there's nothing left that could keep me hanging on (the only thing I miss is myself, the only thing i miss is myself) - as the pendulum is swinging, from side to side i often wonder why that the things that mean the most to me, can never be, i cut my losses and move forward - can someone tell me what I'm seeing it's something lost but still i'm reaching, there's nothing left that could keep me hanging on [chorus] front line my friends they don't give up, on me when small things grab on and they try to weigh me down, i reach to pull, cause my life's a grip and that grip is what keeps hanging on, can someone tell me what i'm seeing it's something lost but still i'm reaching, there's nothing left that could keep me hanging on [chorus] you said you needed a ride home, front seat three others in the back, i looked at you asked if you're ok - said yes now we're off on our way - now turn your heads against the glass too much to late you're moving fast, rolling rolling the window down ride changed when I heard the sound, can someone tell me what i'm seeing it's something lost but still i'm reaching, there's nothing left that could keep me hanging on [chorus]

Lyrics to New England :
(Written by Johnathan Richman)

Well i've already been to Paris, i've already been to Rome
but what did i do but miss my home
oh new england
i went out west to Californ
but i missed the land where i was born
i can't help it

oh new england

i've seen old isreal's arab plains
it's quite magnificent, but so is Maine

oh New England

[3rd verse by Big D]

now if you like Camden in North London
we got that spirit here in Allston
now many people ask "where you from?"
with a heartfelt smile i say "from Boston"
oh, New England

Lyrics to The Difference :
Better than what ou drill
better than what you fulfill
that's why they call it moving forward

better than worthless skill
instill the thrill to kill
that's why they call it moving forward

he won't back down

do you want to be dumb enough to think it's all fine
the only room that you hate, but still you can't leave
do you want to be smart enough to think this all sucks
the only room that you hate, but still you can't leave

he won't back down
parts break after overuse
a pistol in their words
i don't, i wait

and there's nothing they should do about it
and there's nothing they will do about it

the difference
we all got up
swallow an insult

Lyrics to Scenester :
I see them everywhere, wondering what's next
and i think it's kind of fun seein' them walk around downtown
and they got the new band records
and they want everyone to check 'em

want everyone to see that they did it first
want everyone to know
want everyone to care
but it's fun when we don't care, so i tell them like this

oh no, oh no, here we go again
it's the life of the perfect scenester

and now they listen to emotional music
when they used to like PUNKROCK
or maybe now they like chump rock
and swore they never liked punk
and they always talk about shows
but i never see 'em
and when i do they're just bummin'
still haven't figured out that

and we just can't wait for what they got next

and they do it for the girls
yes they do it for the girls
but it's all the wrong girls in control of them
don't worry about anyone else
the best people are themselves
and we don't think you know yourself

Lyrics to What The Hell Are You Going To Do? :
Yesterday, my friend's Dad asked me

What are your goals?
What are your plans?
What are you going to do?

And I said I don't know

Lyrics to Those Kids Suck :
A time divided loyalty
for some of us it's comedy
it's all just a fantasy
someone stop the colony
someone stop the colony

flashy little smile
kiss more ass like you do
i'd rather be called nuts
than to be a 'yaaa dude'
you strut down the hall
you think you're the shit
yes i know you drink beer
but stop talking 'bout it
the party was sweet
i got so fucked up
you should've been there
i crashed my new truck
i got with this girl
yeah man she was hot
but i lost my white hat
after we smoked too much pot

those kids suck, yeah they're fucking beat
those kids suck, nah nah not me
those kids suck, yeah check emcee
those kids suck, yeah those kids suck

your mom dresses you
so your dad will approve
you've already mastered
his shit attitude
but don't even think
you won't get his gut
you'll be more than stupid
hey cool guy good luck

those kids suck, yeah they're fucking beat
those kids suck, nah nah not me
those kids suck, check it out emcee
those kids suck, yeah those kids suck

a time divided loyalty
to some of us it's comedy
it's all just a fantasy
someone stop the colony
someone stop the colony

(Instrumental)

Lyrics to Wailing Paddle :
[written by The Rudiments]

breakin' out the old wailing paddle
pull the splinters out of your skin
ice your knuckle, vow revenge
corporal rule, teach it cruel
hard times, you missed a grand time

ingrained acceptance, invisible scars
take your whippin' like a man and you'll be a winner yeah
don't you wanna shine like the stars
good boys do good girls don't
double standards feeding off the rusty remains of the past

the things we learn from consequence
we're all just figures messed up in coincidence
you live your life by foolishness
the things we least require take priority

who listens to the punk rockers anymore?
spit the fire like before, just like Mark Twain

play the roles away

driving past the billboards with the legs that sell
get yourself a new car & a bottle & the babes will follow you
it's all just fun you see, no one gets hurt
why should we question what is commonplace

the things we learn from consequence
we're all just figures messed up in coincidence
you live your life by foolishness
the things we least require take priority

play the roles away

...in the classroom, in the back row, some old lecture
...in the locker room, there's an asshole yellin' at your mom
...on the bar stool, tryin' not to be, but it's hard to change
...but in the end, who do you think created all the roles that we play?

Lyrics to Evil Girl, Angry Girl :
watch out now

angry girl's always putting other girls down
always yelling at me 'cause I don't mind when they're around
she spends her time backing up her image
she says she's not like them, not gossipy or timid

now she's angry, now she's mad
always telling everybody that she made up the fad
always telling me i should or i shouldn't
always testing me and testing me and making me mad

evil girl you met somehow you're dating and it's great, yeah
Love, love, kiss kiss, alot of sex you're soul mates
she loves you cause you're sweet and cute i mean
she loves you cause you got her, know you brought her on the scene

well now she's left you, now she's gone
at 18 and 22 is when they drop the bomb
and now she needs somebody new, to make her big, to make her scene
the best thing in your world is now the worst thing after all

evil girl angry girl
aw, are these my choices?
evil girl angry girl
the girl i want is just a myth

when the sun goes down in this Allston town
my head in my hand, a beginning and an end
i'll sit and wonder, wonder if i ever really wanted it

when the sun goes down with my Boston crowd
while i'm staring at my friends hoping this will never end
i sit and wonder, wonder why she never really wanted it

evil girl angry girl
aw, are these my choices?
evil girl angry girl
the girl i want is just a myth

[trombone solo]

imagination girl please come save me, imagination girl
imagination girl please come save me in an imagination world
one day she'll come around and find me, i know
one day she'll come around and find me 'cause i know

when the sun goes down in this Allston town
with my head in my hand, hoping this will never end
i'll sit and wonder, wonder if i ever really wanted it

yeah, and i'll be gone
don't worry about me 'cause i'll be fine
don't worry about me 'cause i
i know there must be more than this

evil girl angry girl
aw are these my choices?
evil girl angry girl
the girl i want is just a myth

evil girl angry girl
aw are these my choices?
evil girl angry girl
the girl i want is just a...

Watch "Check List" video

Lyrics to Check List :
i must've started life with a checklist
i took the rules and broke 'em in two
i must've started life with a checklist
and the first was not giving in like you

you're burned out
asking which half is me

you don't have to dress up
it's not a fucking fashion show
you don't have to kiss up
i'm never going to go that low

my life's my book
it is the story of what i write

my life's mine
and no one said you could change what i write

my life
too late, too soon
my life
too late for you

Lyrics to President :

[chorus]

you're full yeah, you're full of shit, yeah, shit, yeah, yeah you're full of shit

what the hell are you doing in there?
nah, not another speach for me
your neutral voice, and cold robotic stare
man, you don't care about anything

[chorus]

guilty, guilty

government says, don't do drugs
makes the laws then arrests us all
but all day long, the words are you see,
we are an expense
its not them, its me

[chrous]

already slaves, got us locked real tight
10 hours a day, too tired to fight
you got us buying, better money and drink
ah man, no time to think

[chours]

Lyrics to La.x :
hey, elitists from L.A.; Los Angeles, California
you know who you are
you're driving fancy cars
your allowance exceeds my rent
well listen to what I have to say
remind yourselves every day
let's get the message on its way[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

well first of all,
fuck your fucking attitudes
how can you be so fucking rude?
you fucking look at me like when girls are jealous
and fuck your fucking L.A. bars
you're all a bunch of wannabe superstars
yeah, fuck your fucking act
you're a bunch of dressed up fucking rats

you get anything you want
mommy's jobless fucking runt
you're fucking lounging in daddy's fucking mansion
and all your fucking stupid names
Blair and Tavis, that's fucking lame
Z-A-H-C does not spell Zack,
what the fuck is with all that?

And you think you're so fucking impressive
Cause you can get your name on the fucking guestlist
raise your nose to the people in line
give the doorman a fucking high five

and then go
do my shoes match my shirt?
does my shirt clash with my pants?
do my pants match my eyes?
do my eyes look good tonight?
will this place be cool enough?
your hair looks oh, so tough
this looks so good for us
tonight my money's gonna buy me love

and fuck all of your deceiving
what's your fake heart fake fucking bleeding?
and all the girls you lay to your mat
are the same fucking girls you fucking laugh at
and fuck your fucking fake ass world
and all your handed out fucking thrills
some of us, we have to work hard
just to get our little part
and maybe your glamour's not in Boston
but my friends are fucking awesome
and we'll keep on doing our best
even though our lives are a mess

and we go
will this check support this tour?
will this tour lose my job?
without my job where's the rent?
should we all just call it quits?
the dinner dates sure cost a lot
when 28 bucks is all you got
and your life is at a stop
and all your dreams are all self-taught

and this is the difference between our lives
no wonder tonight you feel alright
and I'm sorry if my mind is occupied
I'm trying to forget to wonder why
we're built up from nothing
I'm trying to forget to wonder why

Lyrics to Moment Without An End :
I want a moment without an end. [x4]
I wanna spend some time with my best friend.
I want a moment without an end. [x4]
I wanna spend some time with my best friend.

And with all the time we had
And with all the good and bad
Everynight my eyes closed mad
I'd turn around and I'd do it again
And with all the drunken nights
And with all the stupid fights
Both saying we were right
I'd Turn around and do it again

Sometimes I feel that days are just hours for me
Sometimes I feel there is no one left that I would wanna be
Sometimes I feel too many people live so they can say they won
Sometimes I look up at the starlit city sky and know its done

With all the drunken nights of pride
Fliped conversations we'd collide
But we always seemed to try
I'd turn around and do it again
Can you believe what we've begun?
Everyone we could outrun
I just wanna do it all again.

I want a moment without an end. [x4]
I wanna spend some time with my best friend.

Sometimes I feel that life is only there for me
Sometimes I feel that life is just a game to beat
Sometimes I feel that life is something I can't see
Sometimes I feel that life was not made for me!

How did it start?
I choose to run without a mark
How did it start?
Too many actors with the same part
How did it start?
I garb onto something sharp
How did it start? How did it Start!? [x2]

And if I don't make it.
And if I don't make it,
And if I don't make it...
Tell everyone I've had my fun [x4]

I want a moment without an end. [x4]
I wanna spend some time with my best friend.

Lyrics to Chicago :
Not afraid to tell 'em like it is.
Not afraid to be the badass in this.
Well I know that things are getting better.

Wanting again.
Calling out again.

And we're just as good as them, I know.
And we're just as good as them, if not better.

If there are three steps to awareness,
Then they haven't found one yet.
The outline of their lives has lost its sharpness.

Wanting again.
(What we are we are)
Calling out again.
(We're calling out again)

And we're just as good as them, I know.
And we're just as good as them, if not better.

And now I know what they meant when they always said:
"We're not noticed but we have so much more to give."
And now I know what they meant when they always said:
"We're not noticed but we have so much more to give."

I heard I could not stop it.
I heard I could not change it.
I heard I could not help it.
But I keep trying.

Whoever said we'd be last?
(Whoa no)
Whoever said we'd be last?
'Cause I don't think so.

We're just as good as them, I know.
We're just as good as them, if not better.

And now I know what they meant when they always said:
"We're not noticed, but we have so much more to give."
And now I know what they meant when they always said:
"We're not noticed, but we have so much more to give."
And now I know what they meant when they always said:
"We're not noticed, but we have so much more to give."
And now I know what they meant when they always said:
"We're not noticed, but we have so much more to give."

Lyrics to 175 :
So it seems our disc was run over shattered all our dreams
The sun is shining down We play disc in every single town that we stop in
Chris, Paul, Steve, Dan, Flores, Rogan, our drummer and me
What a nice breeze Today has flipped over kind of like a dream
Running around What is lost can always be found

175
175
175 Grams of disc

The wind may blow the snow may fall
We're playing disc late into the fall
And the winter I just met her Hardly know her wanna makeout with her again
I need another beer It seems I drank the whole 12 ounces of the one I had right here
Stop the van Dan we need to piss
We need to it's our dying wish

175
175
175 Grams of
175
175
175 Grams of disc

What's better than Grant's apartment?
Disc!
What's better than Grant's apartment?
Disc!
What's better then disc?
Nothing!

175
175
175 Grams of
175
175
175 Grams of disc
Grams of disc
Grams of disc
Grams of disc
yeah, Grams of disc

Lyrics to (We All Have To) Burn Something :
I'm all set see I'm set straight
I got the whole thing and yeah it's great
Life's just running around and saying "hi"
And I don't have to worry, no,
Cuz I read people "yeah, no"
God's taking notes on me
Well things are off course just a little bit
Maybe it's me. Nah, that's shit.
They're getting all worried about me
Well slow slow down, or so I'm told
I'm digging a circle around a hole
Let's play Who Won't Breath

We all gotta burn something. Yeah we all gotta burn something.
Se we're all just burning something. Yeah we all gotta burn something

She had a boyfriend so i'm told
Played a dumb sport, did the drama show
Her parents screamed on your knees
Trapped to bond every day's like never
I know I know things should get better
Ah, no, not another bad week
But boy boyfriend, yeah, he cheated
Something about her being mistreated
In her eyes she was only 20% there
And litlle by little by little
She lost her ingreste little by little
At an age young age she had to burn something

We all gotta burn something. Yeah we all gotta burn something.
Se we're all just burning something. Yeah we all gotta burn something

So stop me while I'm tired. Go on and stop me while I'm tired.

He dug this girl from Tokyo
He wished he like the radio
He said maybe one day I'll put some crap up there too
See learning is never what we expect
Kinda like the way they met
Overrun by change those years can steal
And now he puts too many empty frames
In his lonely apartment he goes insane
From his life of constant action to now solitude
He said "Power's too common, don't you think, these days?"
I'd rather go back to my old ways
I'd rather go back to my simple ways"

We all gotta burn something. Yeah we all gotta burn something.
Se we're all just burning something. Yeah we all gotta burn something

Lyrics to Little Bitch :
1 2
if you ever hear a noise in the night
your body starts to sweat
i shakes and shivers with fright
you go to sleep with your
mother she hates your guts
she knows that you loves so she holds you tight
all through the night into the broad daylight
and when she doesn't come home you have to sleep alone
then you wet your bed so you wet your bed
and i think thats sad for a girl of 19 thats more than sad
ITS OBSCENE!

1 2
your girlfriend's sweet a little 17
she got the layered hair and the flared jeans
you know what that means
she's just a little queen
she shares your London flat
she thinks that London's where it's at
Although it stinks and when it rains you wear your hat
and your plum colored pvc wet- look maxi mac
You tie your ginger hair back in a bun
you're the ugliest creature, UNDER THE SUN!

1 2 GO!

1 2

and you think its about time that you die
and i agree so you decide on suicide
you try but you never quite carry it off
you only want to die in order to show off
and if you think youre gonna bleed all over me
you're even wronger than you'd normally be
and the only thing you wanna see its kitch
the only thing you wanna be is rich
Your little pink pointed nose begins twitch
I know you know YOU'RE JUST A LITTLE...BITCH!

Lyrics to Cutshow :
Most adults are all the mean, stupid, annoying kids, you know, just older... and now in charge!

You had a choice of life but you decided to give in
Exactly what you were supposed to be you perfected so you could win
Now your life's a textbook a figure a paragraph
Striving to be the best you mock the ones who come in last
(You always) Think yourself up your always on patrol
(You always) Think yourself up your best friend's named Control
(Still laughing) You said you didn't say much
(Still laughing) You said I think you're out of touch

[Prechorus]
It's right it's wrong
Someone's always telling me

[Chorus]
Caught up in a social cutshow
Hit the lights so I can see
Caught up in what a life
My stages my stages are my steps
Open to understanding well if of nothing else

(It's better) To sit half as long if it's on something that you made
(It's better) To know yourself self-memory often fades
Too many doubts too many worries in your head
Not ready to solve them you're hanging by a thread
(Still laughing) You said you didn't say much
(Still laughing) You said I think you're out of touch

[Prechorus]

[Chorus]

[Prechorus]

Keep talking We don't listen no we don't care
Your story's fading your story's fading
It's too bad you're caught up it's too bad you're in
Celebrate your new life in the social class you're in
And now you got new friends to follow yeah
And now you got better things to do yeah
You better think about who you're gonna cut
Better think about who you're gonna cut down this time

You're cool and everybody knows
You're cool and it shows
