Neocon

We are strong
We are right
We won't be pushed aside
We'll go on
We will fight
We will not compromise
We will never lose to you
We will never lose to you
We will never lose to you
We will never lose to you

The Noose

Well our souls are all mistaken in the same misguided way
We all end up forsaken, we're just choosing our own way
The future now incinerates before our very eyes
And leaves us with emptiness of no more tries

Well our visions of glory have spiraled down the drain
The best of our intentions come crashing down in flames
The depths of our despair we are unable to contain
It's shallow living

The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
A truth appalling
Our mak'r comes a calling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising

Well the tracers from yesteryear are burning in the dust
Your bruises are reminders of naivete and trust
You're only feeling stronger cause your body's getting numb
Now I lay you down
Put the coins in your eyes
And blow the candles out

The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
A truth appalling
Our mak'r comes a calling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
(3x)

No more!
No more!
Nothing!

No more!
No more!
Ever!
No!
More!

Long Way Home

I'm driving down a dusty road
I've got nowhere to go
No place that I can call my own
On and on this road is burning

I'm leaving all this crap behind
The past is gone, the future's blind
Don't care how long it takes this time
On and on I'll take the long way home

The long way home
The long way home
If it's for me it's on the way home

Like fragments of a broken mind
I splinter by my own design
This search is not a waste of time
On and on this road keeps burning

My hands are glued upon the wheel
The road ahead is all I feel
The only thing left that's real
On and on I'll take this long way home

The long way home
The long way home
I will go alone
I will go and find it on my own

What lies ahead
You cannot find for me
On and on I'll take the long way home

Hit That

The winds of fortune
Don't blow the same
She had to get out
And make a change
She had a kid now
But much too young
That baby daddy's out having fun

He's saying
I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know
His baby momma
She ain't so slow
He's saying
I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know
I know you wanna hit that
I know you wanna hit that hit that
All the world is gettin' with, I say
Consequences are a lot, but hey
That's the way it
That's the way things go

What was a family
Is now a shell
We're raising kids now
Who raise themselves
Sex is a weapon
It's like a drug
It gets him right into that grave that he just dug

She's saying
I'm on the run
I'm chasing guys for fun
Her baby daddy
It ain't his only one
She's saying
I'm on the run
I'm chasing guys for fun
I know you wanna hit that
I know you wanna hit that hit that
Everybody's gettin' with, I say
Consequences are a lot, but hey
That's the way it
That's the way things go

Well it winds up
Broken up
Really such a shame
But why not
Take a chance
Everything's a game
And it don't stop
Hooking up
Nothing's gonna change
The more he's trying
The more he's buying

He says
I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know
His baby momma
Don't need to know
He's saying
I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know
I know you wanna hit that
I know you wanna hit that hit that
All the world is gettin' with, I say
Consequences are a lot, but hey
That's the way it
That's the way things go

Race Against Myself

(I Realize)
All I want
All I need
Always lies just out of reach
I've been coming up empty

(I realize)
Run as fast as I can run
Pushed as hard as anyone
Still, There's nothing for me (Oh)

(And I want)
I've tried as hard as I can
(And I need)
I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall)
But I am running a race
Against myself
Against myself, Yeah

(I realize)
Burning out, Strung along
Now my sorrow is my song
My whole world is half hearted

(I realize)
For my pain, I have none
After all is said and done
Now I'm back where I started (Oh)

(And I want)
I've gone as far as I can
(And I need)
I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall)
But I am running a race
Against myself
Against myself, Yeah

Waaaaooooh
Ooooooooooooh

(And I want)
I've tried as hard as I can
(And I need)
I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall)
But I am loosing the race
Against myself
Against myself, Yeah
Against myself

The Worst Hangover Ever

ballroom scene, but the fire underneath.
gonna eat you alive,
gonna bring you to you're knees.

went out drinking late last night i had a blast
well now the morning light has come and kicked my ass!

(WOOOOOH OOHHH OHHH)

i've got the worst hangover ever!
i'm crawling to the bathroom again
it hurts so bad that i'm never gunna drink again

and by my seventh shot i was invincible
i would've never thought i'd be this miserable

(WOOOOOH OOHHH OHHH)

i've got the worst hangover ever!
i'm rollin' back and forth on the bed
i'm worked so bad that i'm never gunna drink again

won't someone just kill me
put me out of my misery!
i'm makin' deals with god
i'd do anything!

make it stop please
make it stop please!
make it stop please
make it stop please!

(WOOOOOH OOHHH OHHH)

i've got the worst hangover ever!
I'm crawlin' to the bathroom again
it hurts so bad that i'm never gunna drink again

I'll probably never drink again

I may not ever drink again

at least not till' next weekend

I'M NEVER GUNNA DRINK AGAIN!

Never Gonna Find Me

On a mission started by my own admission
I will leave you all behind
By direction I'll create my own protection
The real me you'll never find

Aspirations turn to fear and desperation
Nothing's ever good enough for you
Burn in sorrow 'cause I see there's no tomorrow
You'll only see what I want you to

Never gonna find me
Never gonna find me
Way down deep inside there is a real me
I'm always gonna hide and this is who you'll see
Never gonna find me
Never gonna find me
Way down deep inside they haven't found me yet
I'm always gonna hide and this is who you'll get

On a mission to establish my attrition
You may think that you have won
Your rejection has brought on my introspection
I'll escape I'll only run

Accusations may destroy my motivation
I can feel it when you're pushing me
Burn in sorrow 'cause I see there's no tomorrow
Only I know which me you'll see

Never gonna find me
Never gonna find me
Way down deep inside there is a real me
I'm always gonna hide and this is who you'll see
Never gonna find me
Never gonna find me
Way down deep inside they haven't found me yet
I'm always gonna hide and this is who you'll get

Break away!
Run!
Down inside!
I've got to!
Push it way!
Down!
I did not choose this!
God Dammit!

I don't really know
What I want to say
I can't afford the throw
Can't make it go away
Try to make it through
Fuck your decision
I can't feel myself
But I'm burning up now!

Never gonna find me

Lightning Rod

Lightning Rod

I am waiting
On a mountaintop
For the moment that the sky will strike
My apologies
Are forever lost
Soon to ashes in a flash of light

Miles from away from me
Hope is fading soon
Gone forever it's a waste of time
My intentions
Like a sweeter room
Only bring to me a fading light

Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
If they could just teach my dark heart to feel
All I've saved - why
Is thrown away

I am waning
Like a single bloom
Lost forever in the storm of life
My intentions
Like a sweeter room
Only bring to me a fading light

Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
If they could just show these wounds how to heal
Here I am - oh why
My last stand - oh why
And I know For all the rising and falling there's nothing to show

Throw me down

It's been raining
And now I will pay
Woe is come to me

I am the lightning rod

I am waiting
On a mountaintop
Oh above me
He will strike me!

Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
If they could just teach my dark heart to feel
All I am - oh why
My last stand - oh why
And I know
For all the rising and falling there's nothing to show

Spare Me the Details

my girlfriend, my dumb donut
went out to a party just the other night
but 3 hours later and 7 shots of jager,
she was in the bedroom with another guy

and i don't really want to know
so don't tell me anymore
and i really don't want to hear
about her feet all up the air

and well, i'm not the one who acted like a hoe
why must i be the one who has to know ?
i'm not the one who messed up big time
so spare me the details, if you don't mind

now i can understand friends who want to tell me
think they're gonna help me open up my eyes
but the play-by-play makes me want to lose it
everytime you do it, man, it turns the knife

and i don't really want to know
so don't tell me anymore
and i really don't want to hear
about her feet all up the air

and well, i'm not the one who acted like a hoe
why must i be the one who has to know ?
i'm not the one who messed up big time
so spare me the details, if you don't mind

now i don't need to hear about the sounds they were making
and i don't need to hear about how long he was taking
or how the walls, they were shaking

now i'm lying in bed, wallowing in sorrow
missing the tomorrow that we could have had
running through my head, over and over
things i never told her now just make me sad
and it drives me insane, sitting with a vision
stuck with that image burned into my brain
and i feel so dumb that i could ever trust her
but someone else fucked her, then he walked away

and i don't really want to know
so don't tell me anymore
and i really don't want to hear
about her feet all up the air

and so, i'm not the one who acted like a hoe
why must i be the one who has to know ?
I'm not the one who messed up big time
so spare me the details, if you don't mind

(Cause I don't wanna know)
(don't wanna know)Spare me the details if you dont mind
(don't wanna know)
(don't wanna know)Spare me the details if you dont mind

Da Hui

I won't fuck with Da Hui
I won't fuck with Da Hui
I won't fuck with Da Hui
Because Da Hui will fuck with me

I won't take off on Da Hui
I won't take off on Da Hui
I won't take off on Da Hui
Because Da Hui will fuck with me

Chorus
A Haole with heart, that's all I'll ever be
Cause I'm not a part of the North Shore society
Stuck on the shoulder, that's where you'll find me
Digging for scraps with the kooks in line!

I won't park next to Da Hui
I won't park next to Da Hui
I won't park next to Da Hui
Because I don't really feel comfortable

Chorus
A Haole with heart, that's all I'll ever be
Cause I'm not a part of the North Shore royalty
Stuck on the shoulder, I'm not complaining
Digging for scraps, I'm a kook in line!

Chorus

Don't fuck with Da Hui
Don't fuck with Da Hui
Don't fuck with Da Hui
Because Da Hui will fuck with you!
