I hate the way you wear your hair
I hate your holey spotted underwear
I hate your views on life and love
Hate bomb, suck it up and take it in
Hate bomb, vacant look and stupid grin
Hate bomb, I've dropped so many I've lost track
But most of all
I hate you cause you don't hate me back
I hate the sound of your voice
I hate your house and all your toys
I hate the way you chew your food
And every single thing you do
[ mp3]
He doesn't think for himself
Always following someone else
He tries so hard to look cool
And he comes off as a fool
Although some say he isn't dumb
I say he doesn't deserve opposable thumbs
Vinny is a cretin
Vinny is a cretin
He's about as quick as a snail
An idiot on a cosmic scale
He tries so hard to look cool
And he comes off as a fool
How can anyone think he isn't dumb
When he starts off every sentance with "num..."
Mommy's waiting by the phone
3 am and Daddy ain't home
Daddy's looking for another prospect
His secretary's the cheif suspect
Divorce #3 wasn't the end
So she'll find another boyfriend
She'll prove what she's really made of
And this time it'll really be love
The American Dream, Pulitzer scheme
Smarmy, trite and overwrought
It ain't too funny when you run outta money
And don't get the future you bought
So remember, it defies all logic
American gothic
Brother's stuck in a fast-food job
Another working-class white collar slob
Eight hours a day spent on his feet
Barely able to make ends meet
Life stuck in a paralyzed condition
Can't afford the college tuition
Serving fries until middle age
Getting by on his minimum wage
[ mp3]
You open your mouth once again
Another verbal battle to win
But this time it isn't a matter of uninformed opinions
Expresses through shouted slogans by your mindless minions
Someone doesn't share your ideals
You don't care how he feels
Because you're right and your mind has been closed
Your inner thoughts, bitter hatred, carelessly exposed
Shut up!
(Why do you have to go around shouting out a foul smell?)
Shut up!
(Any myths you spread are ones I will gladly dispel)
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!
Is it your power to decide
The fate of those on and off your side?
Keep your mind in your business and I'll stay in mine
If you back off we'll get along fine
I know that would never occur
Inserting your nose is what you prefer
You're destined to forever care about everyone else
Even if that caring shows how you benefit yourself
[ mp3]
Mind, Yeah I've got her on my mind
I think about her all the time
Real, yeah she isn't even real
But that doesn't affect how I feel
And I know she's married to Spider-Man
But if Venom can beat him, maybe our love can
Mary Jane, you're so pretty
But it's so dangerous in New York City
Mary Jane, I love you
Please say that you love me too
Mary Jane I wish you were alive
Powers, yeah I haven't got any powers
When trouble comes I'm the one who cowers
Smart, yeah Peter may be smart
But he doesn't have my big heart
Maybe I can't swing you around town
Or have sex with you hanging upside-down
So I may not look so good in tights
That doesn't mean this isn't right
So you think I care what kind of car you drive (Wha-ah-oh)
Guess what there's more than that to being alive (Wha-ah-oh)
Somewhere in your head you think you have some clout (wha-ah-oh)
But is anyone listening when you open your mouth? (wha-ah-oh)
You're a sophomoron, child
You'rea annoying and you're rude
You're a sophomoron, child
But you've got a big fucking attitude
So you think you're ahead and you think you're rich
And you're snuggled tightly into your little niche
But the truth is you aren't a part of any high class
You'll find out when the real world kicks you in the ass
So spout on aobut your expensive Mercedes Benz
And one day you'll see the truth about your friends
They only like you because they like your car
If they knew you they'd hate you for who you really are
After 16 years of school what have I to show?
A host of minutia I'll never again know
Education wasted my life and I've no one to thank
For my listless submission and boundless angst
I've run out of life
And it hasn't even started
No love lost yet
And still I'm broken-hearted
My life is always boring
I'm constantly full of doubt
I've burned up on the inside
And now I'm burning out
Take a bunch of classes with no real application
Abide by the tasks defined by conformation
Then find a job to build a life to find power
This mindless iteinerary makes life more useless by the hour
This time I'm gonna do what I want to do
My life won't be governed by he, she or you
I'm turning it upside-down, ripping it apart
It's time for life and time for another start
[ mp3]
I haven't heard bad news since nineteen-ninety three
That's when I cancelled the paper and CNN TV
There hasn't been a war since nineteen-ninety four
Life is so easy now, how could I have lived before?
Everything is fine (everything is fine...)
There are problems, but they aren't mine
I've more than enough to be concerned with myself
Other people's problems belong to someone else
I avoid discussing current events in conversation
If only to keep from overwhelming trepidation
I don't care about what good news I will miss
I stand by my motto... "Ignorance is bliss"
So what if the outside world is going to hell?
I'm perfectly fine inside my oblivious shell
Who needs a world full of hate and doubt?
I've got security and I'm never coming out
Everything is fine (everything is fine...)
There are problems, but they aren't mine
In this world it's always been 'fend for yourself'
Other people's problems belong to someone else
Life doesn't revolve around you and your circle of friends
Who's dating who isn't where the story ends
There's life out there just waiting to be explored
But right now you're comfortable with it being ignored
Grow up, grow up, I've finally had enough
Grow up, grow up, I've had enough of your shit
Haven't you escaped beyond the walls of your school?
Hasn't your socializing passed beyond who is cool?
Or are you stuck, acting like you're in tenth grade?
Trust me, there are easier ways for friends to be made
Well I'm in a dorm and you're so far away
And you seem to get more distant every day
I'm apart from you and I know I'm out of place
What I would give just to see your face
I sit through lectures in all my classes
Painfully aware of how slow the time passes
I can't wait until I can call you on the phone
'Cuz amid the student body I'm all alone
And I hate college
I'd trade all this knowledge
For just one more night with you
Just one more night with you
And I know these things never work out
But right now I have absolutely zero doubt
That we'll see each other some day
In the end I know everything will be okay
At the end of the semester I swear I'll come back
We'll get together and get things back on track
We'll go to the theater, and maybe go skating
It'll be all right, just like when we were dating
(hidden song)
Last night we went to the lake and watched the sun set
The water and the mountains, mirrored silhouette
Then we went to 4B's and talked til 3 or four
And I took you to your house and walked you to the door
Life was drab and dull until I met you
And now the days are easier to get through
Once I get through the day it all gets better
Because at night I know we'll be together
Tonight we went to a play that made you laugh and made you cry
You took my hand and I squeezed it hard when Seth was gonna die
Then we went to the park, head to shoulder, arm-in-arm
As the autumn air chilled us we kept each other warm
Today I know I'll wake up and go to school for the day
Regretting the time we were apart, the six hours you were away
I'll see you with your friends, and be filled with doubt
I know we'd be together, if I'd only ask you out
Life was drab and dull until I met you
And now the days are easier to get through
Once I get through the day it all gets better
Because at night I know we'll be together
If only at night I know we'll be together
If only in my dreams I know we'll be together
