Don't Be Such a Drag
01:52

I never knew things could get so bad
Well don't you think you tend to over-react
Everyone knows that life ain't fair
So quit your whining cause nobody cares
Waaaaannnnnhhhh
Waaaaannnnnhhhh
Waaaaannnnnhhhh
Don't be such a drag!
You don't like parties you think they're boring
Gotta go to work, wake up in the morning
You keep saying you wanna go home
But when you get there you just bitch and moan
Waaaaannnnnhhhh
Waaaaannnnnhhhh
Waaaaannnnnhhhh
Don't be such a drag!
Well who asked you anyway?
Don't be such a drag!
You wanna know what your problem is
You've gone and got yourself in a fix
Hanging out now is hit or miss
You gotta go pick up your kids
Waaaaannnnnhhhh
Waaaaannnnnhhhh
Waaaaannnnnhhhh
Don't be such a drag!

All The Time

I feel like
I'm being discarded
I feel like
A pile of garbage
No one else
Understands it
I want to kill myself
Oh how could you
You don't really mean it
How long have you felt this way
All the time
I feel like
Your stepping on my toes man
I feel like
Crumpled dollar bills
Well how far along have you gotten along anyway?
And you wanna hang it on the shelf?
Oh how could you
You don't really mean it
How long have you felt this way
All the time
All the time
How long have you felt this
All the time
How long have you felt this
All the time
How long have you felt this
All the time
How long have you felt this

Don't talk that way to me
Don't talk that way to me
Don't talk that way to me
Cuz I'm a success that you'll never be
Do the things you want not because you could
Take the wheel because you should
Pet the puppy when it's good
Don't talk that way to me
Don't talk that way to me
Don't talk that way to me
Cuz I'm a success that you'll never be
Verb to the noun
Now write this down
Me and the boys are getting out of town
Watch me work
I'm not your jerk
Don't talk that way to me
Don't talk that way to me
Don't talk that way to me
Cuz I'm a success that you'll never be

Beach Heather
02:25
|

I like your neighborhood
I should go there
Do something good
Daytime in the sun
Alone together on the Beach Heather
My rusty car wheels
Fit perfect in the groove
Forgotten train tracks
Smooth afternoon cruise
Alone together on the Beach Heather
Alone together on the Beach Heather
Alone together on the Beach Heather
Alone together on the Beach
Night falls, there's nobody else alive
Our only witness, an empty sky
guided footsteps by lightning bugs
hear the surf singing La la la la
Alone together on the Beach Heather
La la la la
Alone together on the Beach Heather
La la la la
Alone together on the Beach Heather
La la la la
Alone together on the Beach Heather
La la la la
Alone together on the Beach
La la la la
Alone together on the Beach
La la la la
Alone together on the Beach
La la la la
Alone together on the Beach

Ridin' the BSL Broad Street Line
Broad Street Line
It's cold
And it smells like dirt
Cold steel
Beneath the earth
Ridin' the BSL Broad Street Line
Broad Street Line
Gotta get home from center city
Gotta get back to my part of the city
Ridin' the BSL Broad Street Line
Broad Street Line
It's Friday night
Go to a show
I ain't got no wheels
But that's no problem though
Ridin' the BSL Broad Street Line
Broad Street Line
Come on Grey, give us that Philly subway sound!
Ridin' the BSL Broad Street Line
Broad Street Line
I hear the train whistle blowin'
If I miss this one its ok
I'll catch the next one in about 30 minutes or less
Ridin' the BSL Broad Street Line
Broad Street Line

Thru Hell
04:00
|
|||
I don't know what I'm doing anymore
Let me take you back to before
I'm sorry for the bad things that I've done
Fooling around like i'm the only one
I try so hard just to enjoy myself
I don't but we can make it if we try
I don't know where I'm going anymore
Somebody point me to the door
I want this just as bad as you
But we got a lot of work to do
I try so hard just to enjoy myself
I don't but we can make it if we try
Why cant we make amends (together)
we said that we'd be friends (forever)
We both know that just ain't true
If you don't you've got no clue
I know I've put you all through hell
Found my way back and so can you
I try so hard just to enjoy myself
I don't but we can make it if we try
I know I've put you all through hell
Found my way back and so can you

Cryin' In Your Sleep
03:32

You brought me in to your life
Came over for dinner with your wife
what was the point of all this now that you've given up
I'm so frustrated Aaaaghhhhh
I worked so hard this time
I know you hate yourself and that's just fine
It wasn't your thing and now it's not even mine
Now you won't even say hello
Pretending you don't know
We could've had this but now you won't even try
I'm so frustrated Aaaaghhhhh
I worked so hard this time
I know you hate yourself and that's just fine
It wasn't your thing well now it's not even mine
Now we're back to square one
but i'll still make it happen
cause this is my life and I don't need you
I'm so frustrated Aaaaghhhhh
I worked so hard this time
I know you hate yourself cause you'll never be me
You've got your own thing but you're crying in your sleep
I'm so frustrated
So frustrated
I'm so frustrated
So frustrated
I'm so frustrated
So frustrated
So frustrated
So frustrated

My baby's coming home
My baby's coming home tonight
Tonight
When she walks through the door
I know everything's alright
I got her a big bouquet
I picked for her the other day
from the garden
I even removed the thorns
nothing can hurt us anymore babe
anymore babe
anymore
more
more more more more
My baby's coming home
My baby's coming home tonight
Yeah tonight
When she walks through the door
I know everything's alright

Help Me Out
04:08
|
|||
If I fell off this ledge I don't think I would die
Desperate man innocent boy
In the time we would fly just care for me answer me
let it be and you will see just what your favorite rock band means
they say
Help me out, Help me out, Help me out, Help me out
Everything is alright
It's so easy
Everything is alright
When you know how
Everything is alright
It's so easy
Everything is alright
It's so easy
As you arrive in the Hollywood Hills
You used to get red while you relay how you used to mow lawns for guitars
And the grass was the only thing you ever thought about besides the girl next door
And now we're big big stars who don't give a fuck no more
So
Help me out, Help me out, Help me out, Help me out
Everything is alright
It's so easy
Everything is alright
When you know how
Everything is alright
It's so easy
Everything is alright
It's so easy
It's too early to fly home now
bury me to sleep so long and how
Always saying Yes overload
It's easy to rely on
Thank you friends but I've had enough
You've been a good crowd
Help me out, Help me out, Help me out, Help me out
