I think about the places I have been
And what I've seen
And all the lessons I've learned in between
Twenty some odd years and nothing's changed
I'm still the same
Still learning from this never ending dream

This life it teaches me of many things
Like disbelief
And trusting in dishonesty and love
It keeps me dragging on and on
But something's wrong
And I just can't seem to figure out the scheme

Another time might make me crazy
But all I've got is time
Another time might make me crazy
But all I've got is time

Satisfactions never guaranteed
I know you agree
It's best to live inside our memories
And if I make it to the otherside
I'll be satisfied
I'm never coming back for anything

Another time might make me crazy
But all I've got is time
Another time might make me crazy
But all I've got is time

This life it teaches me of many things
Like disbelief
I'm never coming back for anything

Another time might make me crazy
But all I've got is time
Another time might make me crazy
But all I've got is time

Politically correct and mentally erect
I'm doing everything I can to conserve the best
But life ain't nothin but a bowl a grits
And this United States proud crap makes me sick
People tell me go make a name for yourself
Cause that's the only way you're gonna get outta this hell
I'm gonna try and try and try and do all that I can
But I'll never understand

It's guaranteed I'm making minimum wage
I can't survive this day and age
Home of the free
Land of the brave
I can't survive this day and age
It's guaranteed I'm making minimum wage

I'll take a work strike
Over a tax hike
Any day of the year
And I don't care about anything
As long as those striking ain't bottling beer
Give me a gun let's go get the XXX
He wouldn't mind he's protected by the aliens
I've got a green man in my backyard
This time the goverment has gone too far

It's guaranteed I'm making minimum wage
I can't survive this day and age
Home of the free
Land of the brave
I can't survive this day and age
It's guaranteed I'm making minimum wage

It's guaranteed I'm making minimum wage
I can't survive this day and age
Home of the free
Land of the brave
I can't survive this day and age
It's guaranteed I'm making minimum wage

Hanging out at the beach one day
And I heard someone say that if
I Was cool
I'd be surfing
That's when I decided
I wasn't gonna be some punk kid
Gettin sand kicked in his face
And losin all the chicks

I wish that I was cool
I wish I was surfing
Making beach babes drool,
I wish I was surfing
And every single day
I would be surfing
I wish that I was cool
I wish that I was surfing

I went out and bought me a board
I even got me a bungee cord
So I'd wipe wipe out I won't lose my board
how much practice can it take
I mean I've already seen Point Break
And if Keanu can do it
Then I can too

I guess we've had our fun
but it seems our fun is over now
And that's all right
It's all right
Time for me to move along
And after all is said and done
I'll be all right
It's all right

Tell me something that's sure to break my heart
'cause everything's my fault
And I know
I deserve to be alone
'cause everything's my fault

Here we go again unsuccessful to make amends
And that's all right
It's all right
I've tried as hard as I can but I can't seem to understand
And that's all right
It's all right

Tell me something that's sure to break my heart
'cause everything's my fault
And I know
I deserve to be alone
'cause everything's my fault

I guess it's over now your honesty has all run out
And that's all right
It's all right
I just can't seem to see how the hell you can make believe
And that's all right
It's all right

Tell me something that's sure to break my heart
'cause everything's my fault
And I know
I deserve to be alone
'cause everything's my fault

Well all the things I've said
To try to make it work
Have all been bent or misunderstood
Everything was taken the wrong way
Now you're making things so hard

Now when you think of me
You get bent outta shape
Pissed off at all the choices that you've made
Everything is going the wrong way
And it's making things so hard

You always kick and scream so hard
What can I do to calm you down
Why do you make things so hard
You gotta stop sneaking around
I guess for you a new life has begun
I'll sit at home and watch reruns

So I'm gone all the time
What difference does it make
Togetherness doesn't seem to amount to anything
Everything is all screwed up and now
I'm making things so hard

Sometimes I think about
The way it used to be
You're not the same person that you started out to be
I haven't talked to you in days
And I guess it's not so hard

You always kick and scream so hard
What can I do to calm you down
Why do you make things so hard
You gotta stop sneaking around
I guess for you a new life has begun
I'll sit at home and watch reruns

You always kick and scream so hard
What can I do to calm you down
Why do you make things so hard
You gotta stop sneaking around
I guess for you a new life has begun
I'll sit at home and watch reruns

Sometimes I think of what I could've been
And then I kick myself
Knowing that I've ended up
Just like him and
There's other times it doesn't seem so bad
We always used to say
With him dead there'll be no one in our way

Remember the time he caught us in your room
Your hands were down my underwear
And your tig ol' bitties glistening in the air
With the zip of my pants
Well I headed for the door
And with the swing of his fist
You were ailaidlaid out on the floor and

Involuntary Self defense
Call it what you will
How can we go on
Where do we go from here
Involuntary Self defense
Call it what you will
How can we go on
Where do we go from here

Running all the way home
Scared just like a chump
I turned up the Judas Priest
So I could get my gangsta groove on
And the baseball bat called to me like a drug
Breaking the law Breaking the law
I'm gonna kill your mother's fucker with a Louisville Slugger

Involuntary Self defense
Call it what you will
How can we go on
Where do we go from here
Involuntary Self defense
Call it what you will
How can we go on
Where do we go from here

Involuntary Self defense
Call it what you will
How can we go on
Where do we go from here
Involuntary Self defense
Call it what you will
How can we go on
Where do we go from here

Ask me a question I'll tell you all I know
You ask for my advice
And then you take a different road
You traveled oh so far
Left everyone who cared far behind
Left us all behind

How could I have ever saved you
The only thing I'd ever done was cared
How could I have ever blamed you
You never promised that you would always be there

I'll never know what you were thinking on that night
You saw him on the road and took the angel for a ride
He gave you confidence as you yearned for your own praise
Then took your soul away

How could I have ever saved you
The only thing I'd ever done was cared
How could I have ever blamed you
You never promised that you would always be there

Take a different road
Take a chance to know
There's so much more than winning
Take a different way
Wait another day
Now it seems that it's too late and...

How could I have ever saved you
The only thing I'd ever done was cared
How could I have ever blamed you
You never promised that you would always be there

I never said a thing to hurt you
It's what I didn't say that made you cry
And in all honesty
I never would've deserted you
I never dreamt that you would say goodbye

I never said a thing to hurt you
It's what I didn't say that made you cry
And in all honesty
I never would've deserted you
I never dreamt that you would say goodbye

I'll close my eyes
Tell another lie
Think of yesterday
Think of everything you said
There's nothing left to say

It's just another day without you here
And it seems a long long time
Since you went away and I fear
I'll dream another dream about you dear

I'll close my eyes
Tell another lie
Think of yesterday
Think of everything you said
There's nothing left to say

I'll do another dream of you
That's all that I can do
I'll dream another dream today
And I'll dream my life away

I'll close my eyes so I don't have to see you leave
Tell another lie
Anything to keep you here
Think of yesterday
Think of everything you said

I'll close my eyes
Tell another lie
Think of yesterday
Think of everything you said
There's nothing left to say

Nothing good can ever seem to last
but it's goodness that delivers us
our past nothing good can ever come of this
I'm sure but sometimes you are granted just one wish
and every now and then there'll come a time
when you are lost in your own mind
and then you'll understand just why we were put here
on this earth and why nothing good can last
nothing good can ever seem to stay
but it's great to see those great things fade away
nothing good will ever come of this
I'm sure but in the end we are all still innocent

Take a chance on me she said I'll be here for a while
I should have seen the lies through her smile
why didn't I lie to you
All the problems that you've had
you'll blame them all on me
take away my eyes so I can't see
Take a chance on me again
I'll try and make it right but I won't hear another lie tonight

How many wrong turns can I make
I'd give a million dollars just to see her smile
on top of me
But if she won't give it up
well that's O.K
I never liked that drunk ass bitch anyway
When she does it's on there
she goes
she's pissin on my floor
How many trips to the E.R will it take
she gets her stomach pumped and runs
to buy another case of the Michelob
cause the Lonestar just won't do
and the beer tastes awfully
used St. Idesand even Special Brew
(Insert Hi-fi Hard Core Supa-Dupa Fly Gangsta Rap here)

And if I ever hurt you
I swear I never meant to
so please don't hold it against me
but in the heat of passion
I forget to sympathize with your virginity
how can I sit still every time you're near me
and how can I forget you're always reminding me
all I need'd a taste
you're such a terrible thing to waste
but I know you have your reasons
I'll wait for the day that I can hear you say
call me if you need some
