1.	You're Becoming a Jerk (and no one like you anymore) 01:45	lyrics	buy track
You're becoming a jerk and no one like you anymore And no one wants to hear the score, when they don't like the player We're all sick of your view of politics And your arrogant and self-serving behavior Yeah, we know you're right, because you've told us all before Yeah, we know you're right, your subtle accusations are a bore Yeah, we know you're right, every conversation is a war and now your friends don't want to see you We don't want you around, yeah! You're becoming a jerk and no one like you anymore And no one wants to hear the score, when they don't like the player
2.	Blind Faith 02:32	lyrics	buy track
Blind faith, it subdivides the circles. In halves, and in quarters and in threes. My friends, we argue about the purpose of faith and structure in all things. But the frame’s intact, it’s the faith we lack. We never could adopt conformity. I know religion makes me nervous. It’s one mind controlling everything. Ideas, they flow up like a fountain. All wet. Umbrellas in the rain. My mind is much to count them. We drift around like bubbles in champagne. Curiosity is a human need. It defines us and creates reality. I know my words have got a purpose. Cause, I’m giving you something to believe. There must be something out there… What pulls the stars across the sky? And if there’s nothing out there, then you’re alone, and so am I. Blind faith - It makes us war with other nations Blind faith - Blind faith can put our lives in jeopardy Blind faith - Can make us act like little children Blind faith - Is the terror of the free Blind faith - Blind faith has taken everything you’ve wanted Blind faith - Can burn it to the ground Blind faith - One tree in the middle of a forest Doesn’t... even… Uh, make a sound
3.	The Epic 03:24	lyrics	buy track
Does it give you some release? Does it tranquilize your mind? I’ve haven’t seen you out for days. You’re getting very hard to find. Little pictures on a screen. Empty words to fill a page. When I need to hear your voice. I need to see your face, child. You’re living in a dream... You are a dream. For forty days and forty nights, I was drowning in the sea. And I took comfort in the waves when they were crashing over me. Where were you when I need help? Stuck in some psychotropic cage? Burdened by your mental health, when you need to act your age, child. You’re living in a dream... You are a dream. And there’s something you can’t see. Lurking deep within the sea. Gnashing teeth below the waves on a cloudy day. And those all those things you can’t get back… In your nightmares will attack. When all your “friends” just don’t mean jack. Yeah, you’re stuck in a dream… Dream child. You’re living in a dream child, you are a dream.
4.	The Curse 02:25	lyrics	buy track
All my heroes have fallen lately. And lately, I’ve been wondering “Who’s gonna save me?” I know that I, I know a lot of good people who have tried To out live this curse. I’ve got a feeling that it’s gonna get worse Yeah, a feeling that it’s gonna get worse. The Curse is a-something that you can’t describe. But they will put you in the ground if you get too high. I know that I… I know a lot of good people who have tried To out live this curse. I’ve got a feeling that it’s gonna get worse Yeah, a feeling that it’s gonna get worse. A feeling that it’s gonna get worse Yeah, a feeling that it’s gonna get worse. No matter how long, how far, the further you go. We’ll miss you at the club, man… we’ll miss you at the picture show. And it seems like the good ones are the first to go. When you’re rolling on a freight train, living like you’re outta control. I ain’t no saint, and I ain’t no saviour. And I know I can’t explain this irrational behavior. I know that I… I know a lot of good people who have tried To out live this curse. I’ve got a feeling that it’s gonna get worse Yeah, a feeling that it’s gonna get worse. I’ve got a feeling that it’s gonna get worse Yeah, a feeling that it’s gonna get worse. A feeling that it’s gonna get worse Yeah, a feeling that it’s gonna get worse. I know it’s gonna get worse Yeah, I know it’s gonna get worse. But I hope it don’t get worse. Yeah, I hope it don’t get worse.

6.	Bicycle Song 02:47	lyrics	buy track
Riding downtown on my bicycle, too fast. I hope I don’t crash or fall, ‘cause I might see you, When you’re laughing, you’re loving with somebody new And you might see me, when I’m rolling downtown in my misery. Riding downtown, got the wind in my face And I feel if I was faster, I’d be in outer space. Where you won’t see me, unless you’re tuned in to Nova or Discovery. And I won’t see you, cause I’ve broken down my telescope I’ve got one chance left in a box full of hopes I’ve got Angels singing from coast to coast, And I still cannot cope… No, I still cannot cope, on my rides downtown. Chains and spokes, and fingertips. Cold wind on these dirty lips. How I ride and ride… but I can’t break through All the lies we tell about each other Circling around us, now forever and we can’t escape it. Can’t avoid the news. That’s why I’m rolling downtown on my bicycle too fast.
7.	Bad Neighbor 02:27	lyrics	buy track
Your TV’s too loud! You’re talking too loud! Your music’s too loud! Your friends are too loud! And I don’t wanna do something about it, Might end good… but I doubt it. Your music’s too loud! Your TV’s too loud! Your friends are too loud! You’re so damned loud! And I don’t want your rude behavior. You’re a really bad neighbor! I don't know where to begin… The things you say, you get under my skin! And you park your car in MY SPOT. You party every night. Your good times always end in a fight… Again, at 2 AM! Your TV comes right through my wall. The commercials are louder than all. I’m gettin’ ready for the hammer to fall. ‘Cause your TV’s too loud! You’re talking too loud! Your Music’s too loud! Your friends are too loud! And I don’t want to have to get violent, but I need me some silence! Your music’s too loud! You’re talking too loud! Your TV’s too loud! You’re so damned loud! And I don’t like your rude behavior. You’re a really bad neighbor! You’re dealing drugs in my lot. Car after car, just scoring some pot. I work, and you don’t… but “I’m Broke?!?!” You don’t have a Job. You’re drowning in cash, but you dress like a slob. And you rent? Embarrassment! You’re always up to no good. You’d steal the nails from the wall, if you could. I’m feeling bad about my neighborhood. Cause your TV’s too loud! All of me... Why not take all of me? Like, put me in a little box. Just bury me in the backyard. But don’t tell anyone. I guess I’ll live there. You’re just an old bump on a log. Why don’t you clean after your dog! He left a beautiful mess on my yard. And your TV’s too loud! You're talking too loud! Your friends are too loud! Your music’s too loud! Your party’s too loud! Your car is too loud! Your Girlfriend’s too loud! You’re too damned… Loud! Loud! Loud! Loud! Loud! Loud! Loud! Loud! Loud! Loud! Loud! Loud! Loud! Loud! Loud! Loud! ...Loud!

9.	Lazy Boy 03:59	lyrics	buy track
Lazy boy lying in the sun. You never seem to get your working done. You never see the flowers, their over-run with promises. I see you lazing in the glade, wondering’ if you’ll ever make the grade. Wondering’ if you’re ever gonna get paid For those big ol’ dreams you have made. Yes, those dreams, you know they’ll never come true. Cause your future only depends on you. You got to wake up. You’ve been asleep, way too long. There’s nothing left to do today. The wind has blown your cares away. Looking back on this mess you’ve made, ain’t it wonderful? You live your life on borrowed time. Taking what you want, leaving none behind. Laziness leading to a life of crime at the end of the day. And yes, those dreams, you know they’ll never come true. Cause your future always depends on you. You got to move on… You got to live on… You got to wake up... Been asleep, way too long. Oh Lazy boy! Oh Lazy boy! Oh, oh, oh, oh… Lazy boy! Oh, eeeya Yo! Take control and make a stand! Time slips by with a grain of sand. And the devil makes work for your idle hands.
10.	Johnny 03:52	lyrics	buy track
Johnny, you never said goodbye. You never turned off the lights. You made your poor family cry. But I guess a bullet, is all it takes to change your mind. Johnny, you never said goodbye. You said goodnight. You made this whole country sigh... But I guess a bullet, is all it takes to change our minds. Well, you can stand there in the doorway with nothing to say, or you can turn around in circles like the CIA Eating jelly donuts at the scene of the crime. Drinking tap water with the FBI Imagine the motives, question the scene. Trying real hard to keep this country clean And I know that I’ve got better things to worry about. Johnny, you never said goodbye. You never turned off the light. And it haunts us in our sleep at night. But I guess a bullet, is all it takes to change your mind. Well, they say that murder one, is a capital crime, But you can’t punish anyone that you can’t find. You blame it on the TV, the music and teens, Like there’s violence and hatred in a young boy's dream. Where did it come from? Where do we go? This whole situation’s gotten out of control. And I know that I’ve got better things in my life to worry about. Johnny, you never said goodbye. You said goodnight. You made your poor family cry. But I guess a bullet, is all it takes to change your mind. Johnny, you never said goodbye. You never turned off the lights. You made this whole country sigh...
