Don't know how it got this way, I don't know how long she's gonna stay. But every week it's the same, in her room and that's why I came.
Session
Pull the shades, razor blades. You're so tragic, hate you so, love you more, I'm so elastic. The things you say, the games you play.

Smash is the way you feel all alone, Like an outcast you're out on your own. Smash is the way you deal with your life, Like an outcast you're smashing your strife

Head over heels I've fit in before, Now I don't wanna do it no more, I wanna be who I wanna be, I guess it's hard for others to see

Me and my old lady sit and sip on wine. And when she says she loves me, well, I say that love is blind.
Me & My Old Lady
It's cool to hate! I don't like nothing, and I like that fine.

Gone Away
Americana
Have you ever walked through a room/But it was more like the room passed around you
Have You Ever
Have you ever felt like there was more/Like someone else was keeping score/And what could make you whole was simply out of reach
Have You Ever
When the truth walks away, everybody stays/'Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay
Have You Ever
'Cause I'd like to think the world is a better place/I'd like to leave the world as a better place/I'd like to think the world...
Have You Ever
Give it to me baby, uh-huh, uh-huh

And all the girlies say I'm pretty fly for a white guy
Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)
Everything he lacks, he makes up in denial
Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)
There's more to livin' than only survivin'/Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still tryin'…
Staring at the Sun
Chances thrown/ Nothing's free/ Longing for what used to be/ Still it's hard/ Hard to see/ Fragile lives, shattered dreams
The Kids Aren't Alright
Where culture's defined by the ones least refined/And you'll be left behind if you don't fit in/It's all distorted in Americana my way/Well fuck you!
Americana
My right are denied by those least qualified/Trading profit for pride/But it's OK
Americana
My nightmare has come true/My nightmare has come true/Yeah, it's all coming true
Americana
The Man is making little bets/Playing with our lives
Pay the Man
Look at you and your struggle for freedom/But you ain't nothing/We all pay the Man for living
Pay the Man
Shut up, you talk too much/Pay the Man
Pay the Man
