"Jennifer Lost The War"

Jennifer lost the war today

They'll find her burned and raped

Through it all she must have wondered

What have I done

But nobody really cares today

The world's a busy place

Guess she must have really sinned

I guess we're all just soldiers

She was only six years old

Left to die by strangers

Her family waits

And if we're all just soldiers

Is it so wrong to be afraid

Jennifer lost the war

Phoebe lost the war today

There must be some mistake

Say it happens all the time

And it's said and done

Little Miss 15 65

Your soul remains unclaimed

Guess you must have really sinned

Morality won't help her

When she lies silent in a morgue

And all our sorrows left her

But will the morning headlines

Even say that it's a shame

What are we heading for

Jennifer lost the war

Seen it all before

Silent on the ground as he's walking away

And I wonder how many more

Everybody take it like it's nothing at all

Jennifer lost, lost, lost, lost the war

Now I guess we're all just soldiers

She was only six years old

Left to die by strangers

Her family waits

And will the morning headlines

Even say that it's a shame

What are we heading for

"Get It Right"

I've been told that to get what you want

You just gotta give what you can

But I know for what I want it don't come easy as that

(They say,) "Look out, boy

Tomorrow comes and things will look better by then."

But I'll look out the window

Then look in the mirror at the same old me again

[Chorus:]

Still can't get it right

And for all I know

I swear I never will

Do you think you'd sell your soul

To just have one thing to turn out right?

For the thousandth time you turn and find

That it just makes no difference to try

Like Holden Caulfield, I tell myself

There's got to be a better way

Then I lay in bed and stare at the ceiling

Dream of brighter days

[Chorus]

No way out

Same old stuff always drags me down

No way out

Never gonna get it

No way out [x8]

[Chorus]

"Something To Believe In"

I believe that reality's gone

Disillusion's real

I believe that morality's gone

And there's nothing to feel

If you take the sacred things

The things that we hold dear

Empty promise is all you'll find

So give me something

Something to believe in [x4]

I believe in a changing of the guard

Put our feet on the ground

See it happen in your own backyard

Everything breaks down

Do you accept what you are told

Without even thinking

Throw it all and make your own

And give me something

Something to believe in [x4]

Where they lead

You will follow

Well I guess that's just the way it goes

And if you look away

You'll be doing what they say

And if you look alive

You'll be singled out and tried

If you take home anything

Let it be your will to think

The more cynical you become

The better off you'll be

Something to believe in [x8]

"Cool To Hate"

I hate a lot of things

I hate a lot of people that are lame

I like to hate stuff

Cause then I don't havae to try and make

A change

I hate teachers

I hate school

I hate the cheerleaders

And anyone who's cool

I hate the office

I hate the Quad

Don't wanna learn nothing

I want to be a slob

It's cool to hate

I don't like nothing and I like that fine

(Liking something's just a waste of time)

It's cool to hate

I don't like nothing and I like that fine

(Liking something's just a waste of time)

I don't like nothing and like that fine

(Liking something's just a waste of time)

Yeah I hate everything

I even hate you too

So fuck you

I'm always thinking bad

I never have nothing good to say

I'd rather tear things down

Than build them up

It's easier that way

I hate the jocks

And I hate the geeks

I hate the trendies

But I also hate the freaks

I hate Dr. Martens

And Muscle T's

I'm only happy when I'm in my misery

I'll cut you down and give you lip

Being positive's so unhip

I'll cut you down cause I'm a fool

Being positive's so uncool

I hate the jocks

And I hate the geeks

I hate the trendies

But I also hate the freaks

I hate your band

And I hate TV

I'm only happy when I'm in my misery

"Staring At The Sun"

Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway

Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way

Everyone's around but no one does a damn thing

It brings me down, but I won't let them

If I seem bleak, well you'd be correct

And if I don't speak, it's cause I get disconnected

But I won't be burned by the reflection

Of the fire in your eyes

As you're staring at the sun (oh whoa oh oh)

As you're staring at the sun

When I ran I didn't feel like a runaway

When I escaped I didn't feel like I got away

There's more to living than only surviving

Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying

Though you hear me, I don't think that you relate

My will is something that you can't confiscate

So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated

By destruction in your eyes

As you're staring at the sun (oh whoa oh oh)

When I ran I didn't feel like a runaway

When I escaped I didn't feel like I got away

There's more to living than only surviving

Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying

Though you hear me, I don't think that you relate

My will is something that you can't confiscate

So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated

By destruction in your eyes

As you're staring at the sun (oh whoa oh oh)

Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway

Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way

Everyone's around but no one does a damn thing

It brings me down, but I won't let them

If I seem bleak, well you'd be correct

And if I don't speak, it's cause I get disconnected

But I won't be burned by the reflection

Of the fire in your eyes

As you're staring at the sun (oh whoa oh oh)

As you're staring at the sun

"Special Delivery"

Hey now do you see me down the way

Been watching you everyday

In my car on your street is where I stay

I know you better that way

One day I'll be meeting you for real

You'll feel bad like I feel

It'll blow you away - You're gonna fall for me

And the voices told me

To blow you away - You're gonna fall for me

Hey now well I'm knocking on your door

This special delivery is yours

My infatuation it's true

Hello, I got something for you

It'll blow you away - You're gonna fall for me

And the voices told me

To blow you away - You're gonna fall for me

If you hadn't sold me

I'd still be away - You're right in front of me

Then, I'll be on my way

Breathing you okay

Can't break from my sins

Cannot pray

But you can't kill a man when he's got no hope

You can't kill a man when he's got no hope

"Takes Me Nowhere"

When the day begins

All the guilt sinks in

And I look on the wreckage of the night

Though I try to break free

The cycle breaks me

Am I ever gonna see the light?

All the friends I’ve lost

And the pain I’ve caused

Have never been enough just to make me stop

The lines I draw to look at myself

Are turning into somebody else

I know how this will end

But I’m starting up again

Turned around, inside out

Cause this way

Takes me nowhere I can’t can’t see a way out

It beats me up

When I go there I know I could start again

When I go there Oh no, here we go again

Takes me nowhere Oh no, here we go again

It beats me up

Open on this scene

A familiar dream

Of you telling me what I already know

Though the truth seems near

You can’t get there from here

But you sure know where you’re gonna go

As the rumor wind blows

My infamy grows

Seeing friends above

And I hit another low

The picture I paint to look at myself

Is turning into somebody else

I know how this will end

But I’m starting up again

Turned around, inside out

Cause this way

But today, if I change

And stop digging my own grave

I will try, to set things right

Cause this way

"Can't Repeat"

I woke the other day

And saw my world has changed

The past is over but tomorrow's wishful thinking

I can't hold onto what's been done (woah)

I can't grab onto what's to come (woah)

And I'm just wishing I could stop, but

Life goes on

Come of age

Can't hold on

Turn the page

Time rolls on

Wipe these eyes

Yesterday laughs

Tomorrow cries

Memories are bittersweet

The good times we can't repeat

Those days are gone and we can never get them back

Now we must move ahead (woah)

Despite our fear and dread (woah)

We're all just wishing we could stop, but

Life goes on

Come of age

Can't hold on

Turn the page

Time rolls on

Wipe your eyes

Yesterday laughs

Tomorrow cries

With all our joys and fears

Wrapped in forgotten years

The past is laughing as today just slips away

Time tears down what we've made (woah)

And sets another stage (woah)

And I'm just wishing we could stop

Life goes on

Come of age

Can't hold on

Turn the page

Time rolls on

Wipe these eyes

Yesterday laughs

Tomorrow cries

Time rolls on
