Will our children look back
With hatred or despair
At a generation of idiots
Who just didn't care
About the fossil fuel fumes
And the aerosol sprays
That put holes in the ozone
And let in the rays
That can cause cancer in humans?
And what is it all worth
Heating up our globe
Destroying our own Earth?
What will they think
Of us with no concern
About the seas of shit
And radiation burn?
We who watched
The waters of the world
Turn to lakes of lava
Killing every form of life?
Will they have regrets
For being born at all
Into a world where only
Acid rain can fall
On all the empty fields
And on the vacant lots
Where cockroaches and crab grass
Are the only crops?
Acid rain dissolving away
The monuments of man
Run for your lives!

Acid rain
Smell the rain coming?
Acid rain
Run for cover now!
Acid rain
The water is on fire!
Acid rain

Tone deaf - I can't play an instrument
Tone deaf - I can't even sing
Tone deaf - I have to wear ear plugs

The noise makes my ears ring
They told me when I was eleven
"You shouldn't even bother to try
You've got no musical ability"
And they weren't telling a lie

Tone deaf - I've got no rhythm
Tone deaf - I've got no pitch
Tone deaf - I couldn't hit an octave

If it meant that I'd get rich
All I can do is shout
Louder and faster than most
That's what I do for a living
Traveling coast to coast

Tone deaf - I don't have good meter
Tone deaf - I can't sing tremolo
Tone deaf - I've got poor register

You won't hear me sing falsetto
No, I can't hit those high notes
And I can't go real low
All in all I'm tone deaf
And everyone tells me so

Tone deaf

My body is stupid
But my brain is smart
Luck rules both of them
With the help of my heart
Like a stumbling moron
Unable to obey
The simplest laws
Of morality
I'm the saddest excuse
For a human being
Wish my past was slate
Which I could wipe clean
But who can I blame?
There's only me
I screwed up
I'm guilty
Guilt trip
The guilt trip
Guilt trip
I'm on a trip to the land of guilt
I've been here since the house of pain was built
The price is high, but when I need relief
I'll pay the price, when I feel the grief

Out of the woodwork
Here you come, crawling
On your knees, hands out
I think you missed your calling
You want a percentage
Imaginary piece of the pie
Take a number, get in line
Asshole - nice try
Cause we're playing hard ball
Now we're playing hard ball
You threaten lawyers
Go ahead and call
Sounds like fun

Cause we're playing hard ball
Now we're playing hard ball [X2]
Now we're playing, now we're playing hard ball [X2]

You want to play with us
Well step up to the plate
The bases are loaded
And we tire of the wait
I'd love to go to court
Just to see you fail
And end your pathetic attempt
At extortion and blackmail

I've lived in a van and i've lived in a tree
Never did what anyone expected of me
I ate at soup kitchens and i slept in squats
Abandoned buildings and parking lots
I borrowed money and played for free
Living in america in poverty
Pay! paying to play!
Pay! paying! paying to play!
Pay! paying to play!
Pay! paying! paying to play!
But a tour or a show was always in the works
With coc, the dks, or the circle jerks
We would play for beer, for food, and for gas
Eating government cheese and trading blood for cash
I was always hungry, tense and weird
Trench coat, mange, half a beard
I slept on park benches and i'll never forget
The cold and rain and all the shit
Everyone with money and me with none
When you don't have any, it's not much fun
Pay! paying to play
Pay! paying! paying to play!
Pay! paying to play!
Pay! paying! paying to play!

Go ahead and say it! what have you got to lose?
Go ahead and say it! no need to hold back
Go ahead and say it! voice your opinion
Go ahead and say it! while you still have the right
Why keep it all bottled up inside?
Say it loud and at least you've tried
Someone hears and you're on your way
Something on your mind you have to say
Say it! go ahead and say it!
Shout and let it out
Go ahead and say it! say it!
Go ahead and say it! don't care what others think
Go ahead and say it! let your thoughts be known
Go ahead and say it! voice your opinion
Go ahead and say it! while you still have the right
Living your life like you're satisfied
Hold your tongue and you swallow your pride
Peaceful and golden as silence may be
There are some thoughts you've just got to set free
So say it!
Go ahead and say it! the time is right for change
Go ahead and say it! you can make a difference
Go ahead and say it! voice your opinion
Go ahead and say it! while you still have the right

I was drinking beer, then i was drinking jager
I know i shouldn't mix the two, i always pay later
But that's just beside the point, what is done is done
Now i'm hurting real bad and i've got the runs
I hate the dry heaves, i hate dry heaves
I hate the dry heaves, i hate dry heaves
I was talking to you then i was on the ground
When i shut my eyes, everything spun around
When i'm so fucked up, i forget where i am
I feel so bad, i puked in your van
Gut-wrenching spasms that just won't stop
Trying to squeeze out just one last drop
My gut tied in knots, nothing left inside
Thank you so much for giving me a ride
I hate the dry heaves, i hate dry heaves
I hate the dry heaves, i hate dry heaves

You don't know who i am
You don't know what i want
You can't see in my head
You can't even imagine
You don't know what i'm feeling
You don't know what i'm like
You don't know what i'm dreaming
In the middle of the night
So please, please don't ask (x2)
You don't know how i work
You don't know what makes me tick
You can't tell if i'm healthy
Or if my mind is sick
You don't know how i am
You don't even want to know
You can't know what i'm thinking
You don't even want to know
So please, please don't ask (x2)
You don't know how i work
You don't know what makes me tick
You can't tell if i'm healthy
Or if my mind is sick
You don't know how i am
You don't even want to know
You can't know what i'm thinking
You don't even want to know
So please, please don't ask (x2)

Time out! time out! for the beginning of the end
Time out! time out! of man's episodes of sin
Time out! time out! glacier melt down overload
Time out! time out! unnatural disasters
Time's up for us mindless beings
It seems we're destroying everything
The jungle, the seas, the forests, the trees
This never-ending need has to cease
The cost is always growing
Animal life loss is overflowing
Our stained shores take devastating scores
As man's black tides roll in
Time out! time out! screaming mother earth
Time out! time out! riddled seas of chemical birth
Time out! time out! for our backyards laced with toxic waste
Time out! time out! extinction is forever, man!
What gives us the right
To kill for ivory in sight?
Makes me sick to see fur jackets and sleeves
When lives were taken for her to please
People, can't we see?
Respect has always been the key
Global warming and pesticides
If the earth goes, we'll all die
Time out! time out! time out!
Time out! time out! time out!

Let it go! let it go!
Let it go! let it go!
Leave it alone, let it go.
Learn when to shut your mouth
Leave it alone, you gotta know.
When to just let it go.
I hope for the best, but i expect the worst
I'm a realist at heart, searching for treasure
Buried wherever, no hints and no chart
Screaming and loving, pushing and tugging
What is right and what's wrong? in my wildest dreams
I never imagined it would last this long
I was counting the days, now i'm counting the months
When will this all end? could be a year
Could be never, or just around the bend
I know it's hard to show you care
Like spin the bottle, it's truth or dare
Opposing sides from your position
Don't' give a fuck, that's my decision
You are so unkind, that look on your face
Hey, i'm not afraid to roll the dice
I've made mistakes before, but i've served my time
At least i've got my memories, i'll put aside my losses
And show you how to win the game
Leave it alone, let it go.
Learn when to shut your mouth
Leave it alone, you gotta know.
When to just let it go.

Today i want to be with you for the rest of my life
Tomorrow i may never want to see you again
That's how it goes, people change
But you know that i don't have to tell you
I think about you all the time
I think about you all the time
I never wanted this, i was having fun
Before i met you, falling for anyone
Was not on my agenda, but it still happened, now
I think about you all the time
I think about you all the time
I don't' have to tell you, you know that
I think about you all the time
I think about you all the time
Tomorrow - before i met you
Falling - not on my agenda
People change - it still happened
Thinking about you for the rest of my life

Somewhere, out past nowhere
I was born in the middle of an air raid
Since i hit the dirt, i was on the run
The son of a gun and a switchblade
Got my uzi lying on my bed stand
I made napalm in my sink
Pipe-bomb in my pants pocket
I just put cyanide in your drink
Mic stand's always at my side
Jack-knife in my boot
Fully automatic machine-gun
Is loaded and ready to shoot
I strayed off the beaten path
Now there's no place to hide
My sadness and my wrath
Contemplated suicide
Somewhere, out past nowhere
I lost my way
No money to pay my fare
The driver drove away
I remember sunny winter sundays spent
Shooting at the sun with my bb-gun
Thinking, "this is the way that life should be
Some birds, some bbs, my gun and me."
But that isn't the way that life should be
This is the way that life should be
Guitars, drums, a mic and me
The band, some roadies, electricity
Blasting forth with a million watts of power
The weak get sick and the timid all cower
'Cause we're like a gun and we're taking aim
Out music's the bullet, the target is your brain
The guitar, like a laser, cuts through your head
You drop to your knees and wish you were dead
Than i grab the mic and i start to shout
Your ear-drums burst and your brains drain out
When the bass kicks in, your bones are crushed
Your eyes roll back as you get a rush
Then the drums pound you right into the floor
Now you're rotten to the core
