Homecoming

I. The Death of St. Jimmy
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
My heart is beating from me,
I am standing all alone,
Please call me only if you are coming home,
Waste another year flies by,
Waste a night or two,
You taught me how to live

In the streets of shame,
Where you've lost your dreams in the rain,
There's no signs of hope,
The stems and seeds of the last of the dope,
There's a glow of light,
The St. Jimmy is the spark in the night,
Bearing gifts and trust,
A fixture in the city of lust,

"What the hells your name,
What's your pleasure what is your pain?
Do you dream too much?
Do you think what you need is a crutch?"

In the crowd of pain, St. Jimmy comes without any shame,
He says "We're f-cked up,
But we're not the same,
And mom and dad are the ones you can blame"

Jimmy died today

He blew his brains out into the bay,
In the state of mind its my own private suicide


II. East 12th Street
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Well nobody cares,
Well nobody cares,
Does anyone care if nobody cares?
Well nobody cares,
Well nobody cares,
Does anyone care if nobody cares?

Jesus filling out paperwork now,
At the facility on east 12th Street,
He's not listening to a word now,
He's in his own world,
And he's daydreaming

He'd rather be doing something else now,
Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly,
His life's on the line with anxiety now,
'Cuz she had enough,
And he had plenty

Somebody get me out of here,
Anybody get me out of here,
Somebody get me out of here,
Get me the f-ck right out of here

So far away,
I don't want to stay,
Get me outta here right now,
I just want to be free,
Is there a possibility?
Get me outta here right now,
This life-like dream ain't for me!


III. Nobody Likes You (Written and sung by Mike Dirnt)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
I fell asleep while watching Spike TV,
After 10 cups of coffee,
And you're still not here,
Dreamin' of a song,
But something went wrong,
And you can't tell anyone,
'Cuz no one's here

Left me here alone,
And I should've stayed home,
After 10 cups of coffee,
I'm thinking,
Where'd you go?

Nobody likes you,
Everyone left you,(Where'd You go)
They're all out without you,
Havin' fun,(Where'd you go)
Everyone left you,
Nobody likes you,(Where'd you go)
They're all out without you,
Havin' fun,(Where'd you go)
(go, go ,go)

IV. Rock And Roll Girlfriend (Written and sung by Tre Cool)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Tre: Geez.....*sigh*...
-----
I got a rock n roll band,
I got a rock n roll life,
I got a rock n roll girlfriend,
And another ex-wife

I got a rock n roll house,
I got a rock n roll car,
I play the $hit out the drums,
And I can play the guitar

I got a kid in New York,
I got a kid in the Bay,
I haven't drank or smoked nothin',
In over 22 days,(Don't wanna be an American idiot!)
So get off of my case
off of my case
off. of. my. case!

V. We're Coming Home Again
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Here they come marching down the street, (ooh,ooh)
Like a desperation murmur of a heart beat, (ooh,ooh)
Coming back from the edge of town,
Underneath their feet

The time has come and it's going nowhere, (ooh,ooh)
Nobody ever said that life was fair now, (ooh,ooh)
Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bear,
In the summer heat

The world is spinning round and round,
Out of control again,
the 7-11 to the fear of breaking down,
So send my love a letterbomb,
And visit me in hell,
We're the ones going

Home.
We're coming home again
Home.
We're coming home again

I started f-ckin' running,
as soon as my feet touched ground,
We're back in the barrio,
And to you and me, that's Jingletown that's
Home.

We're coming home again,
Home.
We're coming home again,
Home.
We're coming home again,
Home.
We're coming home again,
Home.
We're coming home again,
Home.
We're coming home again,
Home.
We're coming home again,
Home.
We're coming home again,


Nobody likes you,
Everyone left you,
They're all out without you,
Havin' fun!

Heroin Girl

I use to know a girl. . .
She had two pierced nipples and a black tattoo
We'd drink that Mexican beer
We'd live on Mexican food
Yeah, I wish I could go back
Yes, back in time

Esther used to be
The kind of girl that you would never leave
She'd do anything
To give me what I need for my disease
she'd do anything
I can hear them talking in the real world
Yeah, But they don't understand
That I'm happy in hell
With my Heroin girl
Yeah, with a heroin girl

Esther used to be
The kind of lover you would never leave
Yea, she'd do anything to give me what i need for my disease
She'd do anything
I can hear them talking in the real world
Yea, but they don't understand
That I am losing myself in a white-trash hell
Lost inside a Heroin girl
Yea with the heroin girl

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

They found her out in the field
About a mile from home
Her face was warm from the sun
But her body was cold
I heard a policeman said
"Just another overdose". . ."Just another overdose"!

Esther used to be the kind of lover you would never leave
yeah , She'd do anything
To give me what i need for my disease
She would do anything!

Let It Be Me
--Ray LaMontagne


There may come a time, a time in everyones life
where nothin seems to go your way
where nothing seems to turn out right
there may come a time, you just cant seem to find your way
for every door you walk on to, seems like they get slammed in your face
thats when you need someone, someone that you can call.
and when all your faith is gone
feels like you cant go on
let it be me
let it be me
if its a friend that you need
let it be me
let it be me
feels like your always commin on home
pockets full of nothin and you got no cash
no matter where you turn you aint got no place to stand
reach out for something and they slap your hand
now i remember all to well
just how it feels to be all alone
you feel like youd give anything
for just a little place you can call your own
thats when you need someone, someone that you can call
and when all your faith is gone
feels like you cant go on
let it be me
let it be me
if its a friend you need
let it be me
let it be me

Deer Dance - System of a Down

Circumventing circuses
lamenting in protest
to visible police
presence sponsored fear
batallions of riot police
with rubber bullet kisses
baton courtesy
service with a smile


Beyond the staples center you can see America
with it's tired poor avenging disgrace
peaceful loving youth against the brutality
of plastic existence

pushing little children
with their fully automatics
they like to push the weak around
pushing little children
with their fully automatics
they like to push the weak around


A rush of words
pleading to disperse
upon your naked walls, alive
A political call
the fall guy accord
we can't afford to be neutral on a moving train


Beyond the staples center you can see America
with it's tired poor avenging disgrace
peaceful loving youth against the brutality
of plastic existence

pushing little children
with their fully automatics
they like to push the weak around
pushing little children
with their fully automatics
they like to push the weak around


push them around
A deer dance, invitation to peace
war staring you in the face, dressed in black
with a helmet, fierce
trained and appropriate for the malcontents
for the disproportioned malcontents.

The little boy smiled, it'll all be well until
The little boy smiled, and it'll all be well

Pushing little children
with their fully automatics
they like to push the weak around
Pushing little children
with their fully automatics
they like to push the weak around
Pushing little children
with their fully automatics
they like to push the weak around

Push the weak around
Push the weak around
Push the weak around
They like to push the weak around.

Somebody Loved
--The Weepies

Rain turns the sand into mud
Wind turns the trees into bone
Stars turning high up above
You turn me into somebody loved

Nights when the heat had gone out
We danced together alone
Cold turned our breath into clouds
We never said what we were dreaming of
But you turned me into somebody loved

Someday when we're old and worn
Like two softened shoes
I will wonder on how I was born
The night I first ran away from you

Now my feet turn the corner back home
Sun turns the evening to rose
Stars turning high up above
You turn me into somebody loved

Don't Pick It Up

Don't pick it up yo!

I saw a little kid
As he walked around
He picked a candy bar up
Off the ground
He chowed about a half
Then his face turned blue
Turned out that candy bar was doggy-doo

Oh oh oh Don't pick it up I say
Oh oh oh Unless you can throw it away
Oh oh oh Don't pick it up I say
You're gonna be bummed that you went that way

You're out there makin' bacon
No scrutiny
You mess around too much
And you got VD
You know you never think
And you're sore today
You're gonna take it back to California

Oh oh oh Don't pick it up I say
Oh oh oh Unless you can throw it away
Oh oh oh Don't pick it up I say
You're gonna be bummed that you went that way

Don't pick it up , pick it up , pick it up!

Soooo ... My friend was kinda hurtin'
For a girl to try
He saw one that looked like Pat
On Saturday Night Live
It had a pair of thingies
But a mustache too
Not clearly male nor female
So now what to do

Oh oh oh Don't pick it up I say
Oh oh oh Unless you can throw it away
Oh oh oh Don't pick it up I say
You're gonna be bummed that you went that way

Seal
kiss from a rose



Ba da ba da da da ah ya ya...

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.

But did you know,

My eyes become large and,
The light that you shine can be seen.

Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh,

wasted youth



Wasted youth! Wasted youth!
[spoken]:
I remember everything!
I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday
I was barely seventeen, and I once killed a boy with a Fender guitar
I don't remember if it was a telecaster or a stradacaster
But I do remember that it had a heart of chrome and a voice like a horny angel
I don't remember if it was a telecaster or a stratacaster
But I do remember that it wasn't at all easy
It required the perfect combination of the right power chords
And the precise angle from which to strike
The guitar bled for about a week afterward
And the blood was sough dark and rich, like wild berries
The blood of the guitar was Chuck Berry red
The guitar bled for about a week afterward, but it rung out beautifully
And I was able to play notes that I had never even heard before
So I took my guitar, and I smashed it against the wall
I smashed it against the floor
I smashed it against the body of a varsity cheerleader
Smashed it against the hood of a car
Smashed it against a 1981 Harley Davidson
The Harley howled in pain, the guitar howled in heat
And I ran up the stairs to my parents' bedroom
Mummy and daddy were sleeping in the moonlight
Slowly I opened the door, creeping in the shadows
Right upto the foot of their bed
I raised the guitar high above my head
And just as I was about to bring the guitar crashing down
upon the centre of the bed, my father woke up, screaming " Stop!"
"Wait a minute! Stop it boy! What do ya think you're doin'?
That's no way to treat an expensive musical instrument!"
And I said: "God damn it daddy!
You know I love you, but you got a hell of a lot to learn about rock 'n roll"

"Divine Intervention"
by Taking Back Sunday

Despondent, distracted,
You're vicious and romantic;
These are a few of my favorite things.
All of those favors and this is what you choose.
Pass the blues, pass the blues,
And onto something new.

Something real,
Make it timeless.
An acto of God and nothing less will be accepted.
So if you're calling me out,
Then count me out.

You were stubborn and mellowdramatic,
A real class act.
You see I know a few of your favorite things.
Five in the morning and out comes out pouring love
Out the same way in.

Something real,
Make it timeless.
An acto of God and nothing less will be accepted.
So if you're calling me out,
Then count me out.

Something real,
Make it timeless.
An act of God and nothing less will be accepted.
I said real,
Make it timeless.
An act of God and nothing less will be accepted.
So if you're calling me out..
Then count me out.

"Right Now"
by Korn

I'm feeling mean today
Not lost, not blown away
Just irritated and quite hated
self control breaks down
Why's evething so tame
I like my life insane
I'm fabricating and debating
Who I'm gunna kick around

Right now
Can't find a way
to get across the hate
when I see you

right now
i feel it scratch inside
i want to slash and beat you

Right now
I rip apart the things inside
that live beside you

Right Now
I can't control myself
But I ****ing hate you!

I'm feeling cold today
Not hurt just ****ed away
I'm devasted and frustrated
God I feel so bound
So why I'd feel the need
I think it's time to bleed
I'm gunna cut myself and
Watch the blood hit the ground

Right now
Can't find a way
to get across the hate
when I see you

right now
i feel it scratch inside
i want to slash and beat you

Right now
I rip apart the things inside
that live beside you

Right Now
I can't control myself
But I ****ing hate you!

You open your mouth again
I swear I'm gunna break it
You open your mouth again,
By god I cannot take it

Shutup, shutup, shutup, or I'll **** you up
Shutup, shutup, shutup, or I'll **** you up
Shutup, shutup, shutup, or I'll **** you up
Shutup, shutup, shutup, or I'll **** you up
Shutup, shutup, shutup, or I'll **** you up
Shutup, shutup, shutup, or I'll **** you up

Right now
Can't find a way
to get across the hate
when I see you

right now
i feel it scratch inside
i want to slash and beat you

Right now
I rip apart the things inside
that live beside you

Right Now
I can't control myself
But I ****ing hate you!

I ****in' hate you
I ****in' hate you
I ****in' hate you
I ****in' hate you
I ****in' hate you
I ****in' hate you
I ****in' hate you
I ****in' hate you

I Believe

All I know is what I've been sold
You can read my life like a fortune told
I've seen the dream, there's no land of Oz
But I got my brain and I got a heart
And courage built I won't let go
What we need right now is ....soul

I can't do this, you can't do that
They feed us lines but I won't act
And all good things will come to pass
But the truth is all you have to have
And would you lie for it?
(Do you) cry for it?
(Would you) die for it?
Would you

I believe, I believe
With every breath that I breathe
You and me can turn a whisper to a scream
I believe, I believe

You gave it all when you gave more
You do know what you came here for
You'll pay the cost,
like it's your cross to bear
Are we the ones that put it there
Would you scheme for it
scream for it, bleed for it
Would you

I believe, I believe
Believe we're still worth
The fight you'll see
There's no hope for this world tonight
I believe, I believe

Don't look up to your movie screens
In record stores or magazines
Close your eyes and you will see
That you are all you really need

I believe, I believe
With every breath that I breathe
You and me can turn a
whisper to a scream
I believe, I believe

Kicked it in the Sun - Built to Spill

backwashed thoughts
and you made me talk
no you made me listen
there's a feeling from ada to irene
there's something
there's nothing you haven't seen
tiny tv
on at three
so serene
no place to be alone
so come on over
yeah
let's sit down a little while
some wine
you will find the same things
the same things
the same things
the same things
the same things
by the time you read this
you kicked it in the sun
it was all that you could do
how could you refuse
and you kicked it in the sun
it was all you had to do
and you kicked it in the sun
it was all you had to do
how could you refuse
and you kicked it in the sun
it was wrong and it was rude
and you kicked it in the sun
it was wrong and it was rude
how could you refuse
and you kicked it in the sun

it's alright now I'm getting over getting mine
it's alright now I'm getting over getting mine

he seemed so unashamed of how he operated
corresponds to the facts that you want
despite his expectations
he turned out mediocre
his master plan was so so
we're special in other ways
ways our mothers appreciate
that net does not make me feel safe
all those holes make me nervous

he woke up late that morning
went to the window and saw the sun had stopped its shining
so so
we're special in other ways
ways our mothers appreciate
we're special in other ways
ways our mothers appreciate
we're special
we're special

a cup of two day old coffee
you're feeling like yourself again
you're still on your own
you've survived another night
in this dingy room with these same four walls

lookin' in the mirror is gettin' easier these days
that old friend anger is losing its hold on you
not too long ago you were tearing at a world
and it's good to see you're still standing strong
that would never let you in
strung out, outcast turned away
you kept your face to the ground
and fought the world with your silence

and so the seasons change
and the people change
and the good times come
and the good times go
found yourself in a winless race
fighting for a cause you never believed

its easy to regret not so easy to forget
all the stupid things that used to hold you down
you gotta break that chain and move on
'cause I know I've seen it in your eyes before

to surrender now to throw it all away
is to sacrifice but you can't repay
in a world that don't owe you s**t
you gotta think for yourself
and fight every bit of that piece of mind
that keeps you going on
gets you outta bed and out that door
step back take a look around and soon
you'll find there's something more
that'll come your way
with a little patience
it will all work out for you in the end
this is my song to a friend that never needed anyone until now

some times you get too close to see
a different side of what life could be

and if you stare too long
it all becomes a blur and its easy to forget
just who we are
don't stare to hard, just take a look around...

We Will Become Silhouettes

I've got a cupboard with cans of food,
filtered water, and pictures of you
and I'm not coming out until this is all over.
And I'm looking through the glass
Where the light bends at the cracks
And I'm screaming at the top of my lungs
Pretending the echoes belong to someone
Someone I used to know

And we become silhouettes when our bodies finally go

ba ba ba ba

I wanted to walk through the empty streets
And feel something constant under my feet,
But all the news reports recommended that I stay indoors
Because the air outside will make
Our cells divide at an alarming rate
Until our shells simply cannot hold
All our insides in,
And that's when we'll explode
(And it won't be a pretty sight)

And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go

Ba ba ba ba

And we'll become
And we'll become

Silhouettes when our bodies finally go

And we'll become
And we'll become

Silhouettes when our bodies finally go

Ba ba ba ba

And we'll become
And we'll become

Ba ba ba ba ...

J'Ai Demandé à La Lune

J’ai demandé à la lune
Et le soleil ne le sait pas
Je lui ai montré mes brûlures
Et la lune s’est moquée de moi
Et comme le ciel n’avait pas fière allure
Et que je ne guérissais pas
Je me suis dit qu'elle infortune
Et la lune s’est moquée de moi

J’ai demandé à la lune
Si tu voulais encore de moi
Elle m’a dit "j’ai pas l’habitude
De m’occuper des cas comme ça"
Et toi et moi
On était tellement sûr
Et on se disait quelques fois
Que c’était juste une aventure
Et que ça ne durerait pas
And that won't last for long

Je n’ai pas grand chose à te dire
Et pas grand chose pour te faire rire
Car j’imagine toujours le pire
Et le meilleur me fait souffrir

J’ai demandé à la lune
Si tu voulais encore de moi
Elle m’a dit "j’ai pas l’habitude
De m’occuper des cas comme ça"
Et toi et moi
On était tellement sûr
Et on se disait quelques fois
Que c’était juste une aventure
Et que ça ne durerait pas


I Asked The Moon

I asked the moon
And the sun doesn't know about it
I showed him my burns
And the moon made fun of me
And since the sun didn't have the proud
And that i will never be healed
I said to my self that she's teasing me
And the moon made fun of me

I asked the moon
If you want anything else from me
He said "i don't have the habit"
To take care of such cases
And you and me
We were very sure
And we said sometimes
That it was only an adventure
And that won't last for long

I don't have many things to tell you
And not many things to make you laugh
Cause i always imagine the worst
And the best makes me suffer

I asked the moon
If you want anything else from me
He said "i don't have the habit"
To take care of such cases
And you and me
We were very sure
And we siad many times
That it was only an adventure
And that won't last for a long time

Right!
Let's move, move!

In this life I've known nothing but seeds you've sown
I've walked the highways and I've
combed the side roads
It's been a joy of highs, oh the pain of lows
I met the Devil at the heart of the crossroads
I share a soul with a hunting hound
My blood's a red river that flows through every town
No
Have you ever felt like I have?

- - Cry
for me sky
Cry for me, scorned, scorned

Live this life insane, nothing but pouring rain
I'm an outlaw, it's amazing I'm
sane
Born and dressed in black, my soul is fighting back
Fueling Hell and raising cain, cain, cain
No
Have you ever felt
like I have?

Cry for me sky

Right
Get the **** up, get up...

When I'm a ghost and gone, I
'll be remembered strong -
By all I've met, by friends and family
When I'm lowered down, six feet in the ground
There won't be a sound except for crows
wailing

Cry for me sky

---Devildriver

Father Of Mine

Father of mine
Tell me where have you been
You know I just closed my eyes
My whole world disappeared
Father of mine
Take me back to the day
When I was still your golden boy
Back before you went away

I remember blue skies
Walking the block
I loved it when you held me high
I loved to hear you talk
You would take me to the movie
You would take me to the beach
You would take me to a place inside
That is so hard to reach

Father of mine
Tell me where did you go
You had the world inside your hand
But you did not seem to know
Father of mine
Tell me what do you see
When you look back at your wasted life
And you don't see me

I was ten years old
Doing all that I could
It wasn't easy for me
To be a scared white boy
In a black neighborhood
Sometimes you would send me a birthday card
With a five dollar bill
I never understood you then
And I guess I never will

Daddy gave me a name
My daddy he gave me a name
Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My daddy gave me a name

Yeah oh yeah

Daddy gave me a name
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My daddy gave me a name

Yeah , yeah , oh yeah

Father of mine
Tell me where have you been
I just closed my eyes
And the world disappeared
Father of mine
Tell me how do you sleep
With the children you abandoned
And the wife I saw you beat

I will never be safe
I will never be sane
I will always be weird inside
I will always be lame
Now I'm a grown man
With a child of my own
And I swear I'm not going to let her know
All the pain I have known

Then he walked away
Daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away
My daddy gave me a name
Then he walked away yeah
Then he walked away yeah
Then he walked away oh yeah

If I Could Be Like That

He spends his nights in California
Watching the stars on the big screen.
Then he lies awake and wonders
Why can't that be me?
Cause in his life he's filled with all these good intentions.
He's left a lot of things he'd rather not mention right now.
But just before he says goodnight,
He looks up with a little smile at me and he says

If I could be like that
I'd give anything
Just to live one day
In those shoes.
If I could be like that, what would I do?
What would I do?

Now and dreams we run.

She spends her days up in the north park,
watching the people as they pass.
And all she wants is just a little pie of this dream, is that too much to ask?
With a safe home, and a warm bed, on a quiet little street.
All she wants is just that something to hold onto, that's all she needs.

Yeah!

If I could be like that, I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes.
If I could be like that, what would I do?
What would I do?

I'm falling into this, in dreams we run away.

If I could be like that, I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes.
If I could be like that, what would I do?
What would I do?

If I could be like that, I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes.
If I could be like that, what would I do?
What would I do?

If I could be like that, I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes.
If I could be like that, what would I do?
What would I do?

Falling in.
I feel I am falling in to this again
