I'm in the middle of nowhere I'm in the middle of nowhere, where are you? You pick a side and then go there You pick a side and then go there, I will too. Pick your poison You're gonna choke anyway Pick your poison It's just a joke anyway No, I'm not alone I follow a lonely savior No, I'm not a clone I govern my own behavior Whoa whoa I follow a lonely savior I need nobody's forgiveness I need nobody's forgiveness, how 'bout you? You keep your business your business You keep your business your business, I will too. Pick your poison You're gonna choke anyway Pick your poison It's just a joke anyway No, I'm not alone I follow a lonely savior No, I'm not a clone I govern my own behavior Whoa whoa I follow a lonely savior It's so funny, it's so funny You keep the faith and they keep the money It's so divine, it's so divine You see a cross, they see a dollar sign, oh! Pick your poison Oh! Pick your poison It's just a joke! No, I'm not alone I follow a lonely savior No, I'm not a clone I govern my own behavior Whoa whoa I follow a lonely savior

I think the earth is spinning faster, is spinning faster than ever before I’ve got to be a little stronger, so I can hold on for a little more (Save me) I think I should be getting somewhere, so someone tell me where to go I think I am forgetting something, but what it is, I don’t know I guess I just lack direction, at least that’s what they tell me so It seems I’m on track for nothing, and the brakes gave out long ago Get it done I think the sea is rising higher, is rising higher than ever before I’ve got to be a little stronger so I can tread water until the shore (Finds me) I think I should be getting somewhere, so someone tell me where to go I think I am forgetting something, but what it is, I don’t know I guess I just lack direction, at least that’s what they tell me so It seems I’m on track for nothing, and the brakes gave out long ago 2x Get it done

Get Old 03:15
Along with age, there comes responsibility But willingly, I lack response, and that is killing me It’s as easy as 1-2-3 For some reason I’m one to be at 6 and 7’s, see? I have the freedom to fulfill my own fortune and destiny Unfortunately, my apathy gets the best of me Clever, squander each endeavor I’m finding that again, again I’m biting off more than I can chew But my appetite is never quite satisfied What should I do? Is it a glitch in my synthesis Which turned me into this Defiant paradigm? Why won’t I do what I’m told, And get old? And I don’t know how I got this way, because it’s not the norm I gotta choose a play and get a uniform I need a better coat, a better pair of pants Cuz you gotta wear a suit to do the song and dance Maybe this is the way I was made to be And I should wait ‘til the world acclimates to me Never, you will wait forever Then I guess I might as well just play what I’m dealt If you got a problem put it in your pelvis I’m finding that again, again I’m biting off more than I can chew But my appetite is never quite satisfied What should I do? Is it a glitch in my synthesis Which turned me into this Defiant paradigm? Why won’t I do what I’m told, And get old? I’m discovering again, again I’m taking on more than I can pursue But this non-stop punch clock robot hockshop Won’t compel me, so you tell me Why won’t I do what I’m told, And get old? I’ll never do what I’m told And get old.

Suck 03:56
I’m so sick and tired Of feeding on falderal I’ve taken in just about all That I can But it’s okay ‘Cause I’m here to regurgitate All of the tripe I have ingested And put it on your plate All I’m itching for is some recognition All I pine for is some radio air time Gimme a chance (2x) A chance to show to you Gimme a chance (2x) A chance to prove We can walk like the other bands Talk like the others Write hooks like the others Look like the others Jump around like the other bands Sound like the other bands too Suck like the other bands do They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery Then my proclamation should make everybody happy If apery loves company, then tell me where to sign in, please Artistic integrity Was murdered by criminals Wearing subliminal Eye make-up But it’s okay ‘Cause I’m gonna celebrate The day that techno inherits the planet And wipes all our sins away All I’m itching for is some recognition All I need is for MTV to need me You may say I’m bitter, but at least I’m not a quitter Gimme a chance… I’ll prove that we can Walk like the other bands Talk like the others Write hooks like the others Look like the other bands Whine like the other bands Sign like the others Lip sync like the others Drink like the others Get cash like the others Get ass like the others Sell out like the others Pout like the others Jump around like the other bands Sound like the other bands too Suck like the other bands do

Jolly Roger 02:58
I’m beckoning a rage, so get ready The stakes are steep so try and keep it steady I got all the others shakin’ When my Jolly Roger’s wavin’ There is only one interpretation Get set for tribulations, buddy For those about to rock, you’re fired Face the fact, the fucking act is tired I got all the others shakin’ When my Jolly Roger’s wavin’ Some boats boast the most floats but they ghosts Talked the swank and walked the plank and sank, boom! Ooh, pray to the heavens you stay on my benevolent side If there’s no bone of contention, I won’t pay attention Oh no, but if you cross me you’ll be crucified Life sucks when drinking from a vat of insipidity Good luck when bringing some old-fashioned impropriety My Jolly Roger’s waving

Another day just like the last Another wasted hour past But on a day like today, a day like today We’re future bound and out of cage Yeah, we know our time will end Yeah, let’s seize it while we can Below the trees, the shadows call And try and end our masquerade But on a day like today, a day like today They’ll never find our hideaway Yeah, we know our time will end Yeah, let’s seize it while we can See you smile again (2x) I’ll hold my breath just to see you smile again Until I die just to see you smile again Yeah, we know our time will end Please, never end On a day like today, a day like today We’re future bound and out of cage On a day like today…

Lay Low 04:19
I closed our story Before it could begin My life is one big sorry And I sucked you in And I’m sorry that I’m such a goad of your dismay Feels like anything I touch only comes out this way Woe is me, woe are you Lay low, lay low You gotta learn how to deal on your own Lay low, darling, lay low For now Sheep-clothed imposters You know as your friends This world is full of monsters And I’m one of them There’s a thousand avaricious trying to hurt you, dear And my sympathetic wish is to desert you here Let solace be solitude Lay low, lay low You gotta learn who is real on your own Lay low, darling, lay low For now You gotta vie though their words are vile You gotta roll with the sticks and stones You gotta smile all the while ‘cause you know that they’re in denial That their wretched little lives are more miserable than your own Lay low, lay low You gotta learn how to deal on your own Lay low, darling, lay low For now

End Up 03:15
Things are great with us, you know We stay out late from dusk till dawn We rise and then we fall again We're anything but ordinary But then again… Is anyone ordinary? Just so you know before you go We all end up in the ground Things are great with us, you know We feed a job and build a home ‘Til everything implodes one day And some expect an explanation But then again… Some don’t Just so you know before you go We all end up in the ground To the sky we get high on information The earth is not immune to overpopulation You're born, you pay the fee and then you die Just make sure that you declare those pennies on your eye Got news for you homey and you might not like it But it will have a profound effect on your psyche Either get down with the fear or get the hell outta here We got no time to look back this is the album of the year Just so you know before you go We all end up in the ground

Here’s to mediocrity Three cheers for mere hypocrisy It’s clear as Judgment Day, oh say can you see? The world will never ever be A perfect little reverie So nurse your view for someone who Actually believes in our amity If you think I’m just a game to play… Well, come on, come on, come on Reckon me Monopoly Cause then there is no stopping me From sending you directly to jail at once If you care for eschatology Then where is our apology? There’s no way in hell to spell Damnation without the whole damn nation In the end two factions will be cleft Sheep are in the right hand, goats the left I hope you get thrust down Like a Hail Mary touchdown In time, none will be bereft Angels seize all we have left When the axe takes to our tree I just hope you’re next to me How about that for goodbye? Goodbye… If you’re looking for accolades... Well, come on, come on, come on Clearly you are out of luck ‘Cause really I don’t give a (hey) Ooh, and you can go “hey” yourself How about that? How about that? How about that for goodbye?

Undertow 06:46
Build it strong, build it wider Build it where no one will ever find her Fusing brick and bone Muscles into stone Now I’ve become catacomb walls All alone, impenetrable Lo and behold, the undertow She glided like a tidal flow Her waves erased the status quo Forever Build it strong, build it higher Build it far above true desire Heart to motored wheels Pumping blood and steel Now I’ve become skyscraper beams Towering out of your reach No one will ever talk me down No one can ever knock me down Lo and behold, the undertow She glided like a tidal flow We’re drowning now, how apropos Oh no!
