I always waste my time just wondering
What the next man thinks of me
I'll never do exactly what I want
And I'll sculpt my life for your acceptance

I always waste my time just wondering
What the next man thinks of me
I'll never do exactly what I want
And I'll sculpt my life for your acceptance

And I feel forgotten
Feel like rotting
(Do you feel the same?)
(Do you feel the same?)
Adolescence
Just can't make sense
(It's calling my name)
(It's calling my name)

I take a look around
And all the things I've found
I call it blind hatred
If you'd stop a while
And maybe if you'd smile
You would realize that
We're all the same

It's just like our brain
When it apes insane
We feel the same pain

All my life I've seemed to have this need
I think at times it even turns to greed
We all want to join some family
We'll even sacrifice a moral changing

And I feel forgotten
Feel like rotting
(Do you feel the same?)
(Do you feel the same?)
Adolescence
Just can't make sense
(It's calling my name)
(It's calling my name)

I take a look around
And all the things I've found
I call it blind hatred
If you'd stop a while
And maybe if you'd smile
You would realize that
We're all the same

It's just like our brain
When it apes insane
We feel the same pain

I take a look around
And all the things I've found
I call it blind hatred
If you'd stop a while
And maybe if you'd smile
You would realize that
We're all the same

It's just like our brain
When it apes insane
We feel the same pain

See a young girl so soft and blonde
Doesn't attack me but she did once
Intoxications in her veins
Sweet young boy plays with her brain

Lydia'll bring to life
What are your chance not to oblige
Putting his hand on her thigh
Ability has now been ripped
Take it away, I'd rather sit

Sweet children, sweet children, sweet children Remember when?

Johnny's playing fun and games,
or else he's in the storage shed
Running from the light of day,
or maybe lie and celebrate
The funny circus from his head
Follow me if you understand
I'll trick her so she'll do it
Then I'll sing and now we run

Sweet children, sweet children, sweet children Remember when?
Sweet children, sweet children, sweet children Remember when?

I was a young boy that had big plans.
Now I'm just a shitty old man.
I don't have fun and I hate everything the world owes me so fuck you

Glory days don't mean shit to me.
I drank a six pack of apathy
Life's a bitch and so am I the world owes me so fuck you.

Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals
I had a young and optomistic point of view.
Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals.
I had a young and optomistic point of view.

I've decomposed yet my guts getting fat
Oh my god I'm turning out like my dad.
I'm always rude I got a bad attitude
The world owes me so fuck you

My wife's a nag and the kids fuckin up
I don't have sex cause I can't get it up.
I'm just a grouch sitting on the couch
the world owes me so fuck you.
the world owes me so fuck you.
the world owes me so fuck you.

Princess in a school girl's dream
May I please speak with you?
I'm having troubles with control
And it's all because of you
Today I kept on falling down
I thought it was the street
So I look down at my shoes
They were on the wrong feet

I find it hard to be myself
(Can you please explain?)
I do not think that it's my health
(You're the one to blame)
You're the one I wish I had
And now my girlfriend is getting mad
(I cannot call this sane)

Today as I was walking down
You bumped into me
You said "excuse me" and walked away
As I dropped to my knees
I prayed to the being in the sky
That my parents told me of
I asked about you but no reply
No clues about your love!

I find it hard to be myself
(Can you please explain?)
I do not think that it's my health
(You're the one to blame)
My girlfriend left me on the phone
I'm pathetically left here alone
(I cannot call this sane)

Can we find a way
So that you can stay
I think I'm gonna Pop

I find it hard to be myself
(Can you please explain?)
I do not think that it's my health
(You're the one to blame)
You're the one I wish I had
And now my girlfriend is getting mad
(I cannot call this sane)

Can we find a way
So that you can stay
I think I'm gonna Pop

Sitting in my room last night
Staring at the mirror
I couldn't find a reason why
I couldn't be near her

'Cause you are the one that started
To make me feel this way
And every night I'm thinking
About the words you'd say

Pictures going through my mind
When we're together
All these long and sleepless nights
Will I ever get better

'Cause you are the one that started
To make me feel this way
And every night I'm thinking
About the words you'd say
'Cause you are THE ONE THAT I WANT

Now you know how I feel
This love is forever
You make my life seem so unreal
Will I ever get better? ...

'Cause you are the one that started
To make me feel this way
And every night I'm thinking
About the words you'd say
'Cause you are THE ONE THAT I WANT

Cheapskate on the hill
A thrill seeker making deals
Sugar city urchin wasting time
Town of lunatics
Begging for another fix
Turning tricks for speedballs
One more night

Making your rounds once again
Turning up empty handed
Bumming a ride
Burning daylight
Last up at dawn... tight wad hill

Drugstore hooligan
Another white trash mannequin
On display to rot up on the hill
Living out a lie
But having the time of his life
Hating every minute of his existance

Making your rounds once again
Turning up empty handed
Bumming a ride
Burning daylight
Last up at dawn... tight wad hill

Making your rounds once again
Turning up empty handed
Bumming a ride
Burning daylight
Last up at dawn... tight wad hill

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the waist, directs where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
Its not question, but a lesson learned in time.

Its something unpredictable but in the end its right;
I hope you've had the time of your life.

So take the photographs and stillframes in your mind,
Hang it on a shelf in good health and in good time
Tattoo some memories and dead skin on trial
For what its worth, it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable but in the end its right;
I hope you've had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable but in the end its right;
I hope you've had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable bu tin the end its right;
I hope you've had the time of your life.

I've been waiting a long time
For this moment to come
I'm destined for anything at all

Downtown lights will be shining
On me, like a new diamond
Ring out, under the midnight hour
Well no one can touch me now
And I can't turn my back
It's too late, ready or not at all

Well I'm so much closer than
I have ever known...
Wake up!

Dawning of a new era
Calling, don't let it catch ya
Falling, ready or not at all
So close, enough to taste it
I can almost embrace this
Feeling, on the tip of my tongue

You better thank your lucky stars

Dumbstruck, colour me stupid
Good luck, you're gonna need it
Where I'm going, if i get there at all

Wake up!
You better thank your lucky stars!

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

like my fathers come to pass
seven years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when september ends

here comes the rain again
falling from the stars
drenched in my pain again
becoming who we are

as my memory rests
but never forgets what I lost
wake me up when september ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
wake me up when september ends

like my father's come to pass
twenty years has gone so fast
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends
wake me up when september ends

Dear mother,
Can you hear me whining?
It's been three whole weeks
Since that I have left your home
This sudden fear has left me trembling
Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone
Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it the slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through
a wasteland I like to call
my home
Welcome To Paradise
A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go
Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through
a wasteland I like to call
my home
Welcome To Paradise

Dear mother,
Can you hear me laughing
It's been six whole months since
Since that I have left your home
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go
Pay attention to the cracked streets
And the broken homes
Some call it the slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through
a wasteland I like to call
my home
Welcome To Paradise

I heard you crying loud,
all the way across town
You've been searching for that someone,
and it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself
Don't get lonely now
Dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment
Sleazin' my back yard so don't get so uptight
you been thinking about ditching me

No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around

I heard it all before
So don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser
to try and slag me down because I know I'm right
So go do what you like
Make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your selfdoubt means nothing
was ever there

You can't go forcing something if it's just
not right

No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around (2 times)
When I come around (sev times)

I saw you standing alone
With a sad look on your face
You call him on the phone
Looks like he left you
Without a trace
Tears falling out of your eyes
He's living in a disguise
You've been feeling bad for so long
You wonder if it's right or wrong

Why Do You Want Him?
Why Do You Want Him?

Now many days have gone by
And you still just sit there and cry
You're feeling bad for yourself
His memory will always dwell
You're so obsessed with his love
That's why push came to shove
You've been feeling bad for so long
You wonder if it's right or wrong

Why Do You Want Him?
Why Do You Want Him?

Why Do You Want Him?
Why Do You Want Him?

You find a way out...
To throw it all the way
But you can bet...
You got someting to say

Why Do You Want Him?
Why Do You Want Him?

Why Do You Want Him?
Why Do You Want Him?

Another sentimental argument and bitter love.
Fucked without a kiss again and dragged it through the mud.
Yelling at brick walls and punching windows made of stone.
The worry rock has turned to dust and fallen on our pride.

A knocked down dragged out fight.
Fat lips and open wounds.
Another wasted night and no one will take the fall.
Where do we go from here?
And what did you do with the directions?
Promise me no dead end streets
And I'll guarantee we'll have the road.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom

A knocked down dragged out fight.
Fat lips and open wounds.
Another wasted night and no one will take the fall.

Another sentimental argument and bitter love.
Fucked without a kiss again and dragged it through the mud.

Where do we go from here?
And what did you do with the directions?
Promise me no dead end streets

And I'll guarantee we'll have the road
And I'll guarantee we'll have the road
And I'll guarantee we'll have the road

You got a problem you just can't hide
Compulsive habits that never seem to die
Your breath is taking up all the air
your teeth are rotting to black holes in your head

When reality is due
What you say just can't be true
When the story's stretched and it's so far fetched that you add your own excuse
You lied

Your mothers life was just one white lie
And now she's dead and she's left you with her problem
Pinocchio has bit your tongue
Your nose is growing into the third dimension

When reality is due
What you say just can't be true
When the story's stretched and it's so far fetched that you add your own excuse
You lied
Ahh You lied

When reality is due
What you say just can't be true
When the story's stretched and it's so far fetched that you add your own excuse
You lied
