"Reebok Commercial"

You are better than me,girls,money,and everything I try to compete with you,
but you beat me at everything i do
I see in you the things that I would like to be
But im different from you,

So you will have to be like me!

I cannot be bought my personality is what I choose
I was brought up without a silver cup I wont
covet the things owned by you

For all the world material things are now more and more
jealousy for you and me
I won't covet the things owned by your store

"Time"

When the clock strikes two
There's so much to do
and I cant explain what i need

Jobs and social group
Hearing the latest new
keepin your reputation clean

And I dont wanna worry
about being on time
I see the way you hurry
and time runs your like again

The difference between east and west
monney means so much less
and objects aren't so important to buy

I wish that earth clock
could often just be stopped
and then we look into the time

And I Don't wanna worry
about being on time
I see the way you hurry
and time runs your life again

"Red Skies"

Why can't people just understand
money's something in the nature of the hand
now as we need something to help us with
all used up and nothing more to give

Change for the better
no more laziness kills like murder
help another you want for someday
you cant hide while I'm running

And all these people they don't comprehend
all those obscure animals aren't even in their pen
along the wheels comes the pain and strife,
?

Change for the better

"Alone"

what were doing here, now no one knows
the thoughts, the things that i dont know
images all but a mind blur
your laughter has drived you here
you can do what you want to
i need some time alone
between what answers there is
i need some time alone
dont talk to me
dont notice me
dont talk to me
dont notice me

images all but a mind blur
your laughter has drived you here
not in the mood, not just to justify
and not to think of what a lie
you can do what you want to
i need some time alone
between what answers there is
i need some time alone
dont talk to me
dont notice me
dont talk to me
dont notice me

"Point Of View"

Two different people, two different places
Through a one way window with two different faces
Agreements are not reached, faces are forgotten
The other person's shoes, you've not got in

Stubborn minded enclosed to your own world
Wake up and see someone else's morals
What right to you
Might be true

It's a different point of view to you
You cannot see things that are different to me
And I can't understand why you cannot see
The things that I cannot see

I see what you don't see
I see what you don't see
Turn around and the shadows are all around me

Two different people, two different places
Through a one way window with two different faces
Agreements are not reached, faces are forgotten
The other person's shoes, you've not got in

"Marlboro Man"

I whistle good
I'm kinda straight
And I can can can have fun

No matter what I do
I've always assumed that
I can't go on sucking on my thumb

Sifting through my toys
Resting at my door
After thinking that I couldn't read
Sitting on the porch
And waiting for porno
While sucking on my damn fugi

I don't know why
I just want to die
And here's 2 bucks for you
This is the part where I should really part
But I guess I've got nothing to do

I don't know why
I just want to die
And here's 2 bucks for you
This is the part where I should really part
But I guess I've got nothing to do

What'd our grandma think of me
All that I've got to do
Guess I should its a wonder

My breath
its how the streets cave in everyday

Oh how the antelopes
Tom's thumb just walked right through my nose

What'd our grandma think of me
All that I've got to do
Guess I should its a wonder

"The Longest Line"

In the darkest tunnel it's nice to see a light
not just a headlight
like the one that's heading right for me
it would be nice if things could turn out right
turn out right yeah
don't think I'll ever see the day

I must have done something wrong
or maybe pissed off God
I think of Chinese food when I think of life
that's sweet and sour
my life is sweet as saccharine
you know three week old milk and grapes are not
not the same, no
I am the one Johnny Carcinogen

I must have fucked with some witch
in turn she cursed me, cursed my life
at the end of the longest line
that's where I will always be
if you need to find me, just go to
the end of the longest line

But officer that was a yellow light
the light was red, son
insubordination, reckless driving
I must be wrong, this can't be right
I don't belong, this world is much to dangerous
for someone lacking luck, like me

At the end of the longest line
that's where I will always be
if you need to find me, just go to
the end of the longest line
at the end of the longest line
that's where I will always be
at the end of the longest line

"Freak Scene"

[Written by J. Mascis, originally performed by Dinosaur Jr.]

Seen enough to eye you
but I've seen to much to try you
it's always weirdness while you
dig too much to fry you
the weirdness flows between us
freak scene just can't believe us
why can't it be cool and free us

Seen enough to eye you
but I've seen to much to try you
it's always weirdness while you
dig too much to fry you
the weirdness flows between us
freak scene just can't believe us
why can't it be cool and free us

It's so fucked, I can't believe it
if there's a way I wish I'd see it
how could it work, just can't conceive us
oh what a mess it's just to leave it

Sometimes I don't thrill you
sometimes I think I'll kill you
just don't let me fuck up will you
cause when I need a friend it's still you.

"Carousel"

I talk to you every now and then
I never felt so alone again
I stop to think at a wishing well
My thoughts send me on a carousel

Here I am standing on my own
Not a motion from the telephone
I know not a reason why
Solitudes a reason to die

Just you wait and see
As school life is a
It is a woken dream
Aren't you feeling alone?

I guess its just another
I guess its just another
I guess its just another night alone

Now as I walk down the street
I need a job just to sleep in sheets
Buying food every once in a while
But not enough to purchase a smile

A tank of gas is a treasure to me
I know now that nothing is free
I talk to you every now and then
I never felt so alone again

Just you wait and see
As school life is a
It is a woken dream
Aren't you feeling alone?

I guess its just another
I guess its just another
I guess its just another night alone

"TV"

When I'm at work, ya, I always rush right home for lunch
So I can check out what's up on the Brady Bunch
And when I'm walking through the front door at night
I gotta see who's winning on The Price is Right, oh

I never dreamed that I'd spend my days
Staring at some tube emitting cathode rays
I need my TV

What's happening in this world, I don't care at all
But it better not pre-empt Monday Night Football
I can't even come up with my own views
I'm taught how to think from the evening news, oh

I never dreamed that I'd spend my days
Staring at some tube emitting cathode rays
I need my TV

La la la...

"Strings"

I would do anything and that's
What scares me so bad
Don't want to live my life alone
Don't want to go back to what I had

Don't want to spend my life without
All those special things
Don't want to walk around being tied to
Anyone else's

Strings, strings, strings, strings

I would do anything and that's
What scares me so bad
Don't want to live my life alone
Don't want to go back to what I had

Don't want to spend my life without
All those special things
Don't want to walk around being tied to
Anyone else's

Strings, strings, strings, strings
Strings, strings, strings, strings

"Fentoozler"

At the risk of sounding rude
Just who the fuck do you think you are
To tell me what you expect of me today?

Well, you can take your attitude
You're out of luck, you've gone way too far
If you think there's any chance I'm gonna stay

How long can I string you along?
How little of myself can I give
And still make you believe I care?

At the risk of sounding trite
Why the fuck do you think you're right
About every little thing that you say?

And do you think that it is right
For Tom to spend another night
Writing songs about all the people he thinks are gay?

How long can I string you along?
How little of myself can I give
And still make you believe I care?

How long can I string you along
How little of myself can I give
And still make you believe I care?

"Romeo & Rebecca"

Walking through the grass
Another blade next to you from the ground
As the wind does pass
I notice as you feel the breath of my shout

Your words are kind
The kind that repeatedly say no
But that's alright
I'm older than you so I've got time

What have you said, reach out your hand
There's a black shadow on my wall
But as I look into my mind
I can see that girls are a waste of time

We've all seen the bridge
A broken seam and a girl on one side
You think your words will work
They only work when you lay down and close your eyes

I thought of all the lines
All the right ones used at all the wrong times
But that's alright
Depression's just a sarcastic state of mind

What have you said, reach out your hand
There's a black shadow on my wall
But as I look into my mind
I can see that girls are a waste of time

I don't want to live alone
I don't want to live in
My broken dreams of you

I don't want to live along with
My broken dreams of you
I don't want to live along with
My broken dreams of you

"21 Days"

My mind wanders as I,m trying not to fall in love with you
'Cause everytime I wake I ponder on my mistakes of
what I said, it is always my esteem that I sure lose
playing those stupid games as I always end up chasing you

[Chorus]
I can't help myself anymore
rehearsing my thoughts as I,m to scared to come to your door
I pushed it all aside just stand next to you
Now you won't talk to me for something I didn't do
It's not going to work

And I'm trying not to think of you
I'm all confused as I think of the things that I would do
I'm all shook up as I get all nervous inside
My emotions are something that I will always hide

"Sometimes"

Oh, how I wish that they would last
Moments of peace that just slip through me so fast
Just when I think that they are gonna stay
Everything inside me just starts fading away

Sometimes it seems like all I hope for
Just gets thrown down on the floor
And then it seems like you don't love me anymore
Sometimes I wish that I could run away
Sometimes I wish I just had something to say

She looks at me and doesn't know the words to say
But it's not you, I just don't feel quite right today
All these things I say and do were never planned
But how the fuck am I supposed to make you understand that

Sometimes it seems like all I hope for
Just gets thrown down on the floor
And then it seems like you don't love me anymore
Sometimes I wish that I could run away
Sometimes I wish I just had something to say
