Count Me Out
I understand my friends have all
got something to do tonight
but couldn't someone give me a call
to see if I'm gonna be alright
sitting in front of my T.V. set
filling my heart with regret
I never did anything I wanted to

Now I've got nothing to do
and I'm trying to pull through
got no help, left no doubt
you can count me out

Need to move so I go to the store
drank all the beer need to buy some more
stopped off in the park on my way home
sat on the swings and thought about things
felt like a puppet dangling on strings
somebody walks by I hope they leave me alone

Just wish that there was always someone around
who didn't drive me up a wall
seems like everyone they drag me down
with friends like that who needs friends at all

Broken String
If I could find a way to change today
the way I sing and how I play
I couldn't change a goddamn thing
If I can't change a broken string
frustration gets the best of me
vehemence will not let me be
relaxed and gentle when I'm playing
while the metal is decaying

I go to so many shows my ears are always ringing
and if I go deaf then I won't have to hear my lousy singing
and if things are going my way
it doesn't mean a thing
'cause tomorrow I could have another broken string

Well I don't know how to solve my problem
so many times I've felt so dumb
seems like it's a total flop
when all the action has to stop
Ean sighs the punks just stare
Josh runs his fingers through his hair
get so tense my hands are shaking
I can't afford all the strings I'm breaking

Kathy's Dance
There's a girl that we all know
she dances to the right and slow
got the means and way to say, "sicko"
any moment now

She got the way
She got the way to say

It's Kathy's dance
She gets stoned
Leave me alone

fB Song
I'm not a product of your environment
I don't hold these truths to be self-evident
I don't necessarily hate the establishment
but I don't think you really know what I meant what I said
I meant what I said
