Hanging Out

Ryan said she was sorry
she doesn't want you to worry
if you could giver her some time that'd be lovely
she'll come around when she's ready
the night she went to to the hospital
you drank a bottle of whiskey down at her school
getting drunk on the spring lawn
before the sprinklers they went off
and you both ran to the bleachers
before you leaned in to kiss her
later that night Ryan's brother
was the one who happened to find her
hanging out
Ryan's always hanging out
and he had to cut her down
she's got a bruise on her neck now
from hanging out
Ryan's always hanging out
though this wasn't the first time
we can pray it's the last time
but just in case there's a next time
you should be sure to tell her
that you love her completely
and you would miss her
Sincerely,

House Show

it was raining at the house show
you were dancing with your eyes closed
as the band played
your dress swayed
and you knew every song they sang
but the bald kid in the rock band
he sucks dick now on the weekends
and the song about how you broke his heart
well his boyfriend knows that i's just a front
and you were staring at your shoes
you were staring at your shoes
when you caught them making out in the photo booth
now you're smoking in the backyard
wondering who's the one with the broken heart.
it was raining at the restaurant
while you were sipping on mimosas
just trying to process how you felt about it
but you couldn't keep your food down
No, you were throwing up in the bathroom
just trying to stomach, but it was way too much to digest
and now you're the one who feels broken hearted
since you found out your ex- boyfriend is gay
and you're wondering if you're the one to blame
well honey i don't think that it works that way
because gay, bi-, straight, well it's al the same
when you feel like you're just getting fucked

I want to hang out in your bed
i want to know why we're still only friends
and if talk is cheap
why you talking to me?
cuz i've got nowhere to go
and you've got nowhere to be
and i would sucker punch your ex- boyfriend
if it would help you move past what he said
if he's your ex- boyfriend
why you still into him?
if he's your ex- boyfriend
why are you so wrapped up in him?
and why is everyone so stupid? i
s there something that I'm missing?
you said forgive and forget
or forget and forgive
but at the end of the day
you should forget about him
and i'm not saying you deserve me
but you deserve to be treated decently
and if talk is cheap
why you talking to me?
cuz i've got nowhere to go
and you've got nowhere to be
I want to hang out in your bed
I want to know if someday
we'll be more than friends
I want to hang out in your bed again

Broke Not Poor
01:37

you're not poor you're fucking broke
and that's the only thing you know
and your tattoos are a reminder
of the choices that you made when you were younger
and all the boyfriends that you loved
all those nights you just got drunk
and all the feelings that you felt
when you thought of moving on
you'll be in debt for years to come
but you're not fooling anyone
and is it selfish to need to sing this
when i know how much it hurts to even think it?
like he'd really give a shit
like he's grown up since you left
like it's easy to forget
what didn't work and why'd it end
you're not poor you're fucking broke
and that's the only thing you know

Ryan

Ryan always thought she'd make it to the top
but she never wants to dance when she's falling apart
so she kissed me like she did
when i was reading in her bed
and Ryan used to play the bass in some high school band
me and her were always smoking pot before band practice
and i'm in love with Ryan
and she's in love with me
oh but i wish that i could still make her blush
like i did when we were teens
making out in a lazy blanket fort
or rough housing on the trampoline
like some contact sport
rRan always thought she'd make it to the top
but she never wants to play when she's falling apart
so she kissed me like she did
when i was lying in her bed
Ryan loved to sing in that high school band
she was always writing songs that went way over my head
and on the weekends we would play
zombies ate my neighbors
on her super nintendo
in her living room for hours
Ryan always thought she'd make it to the top
but she never wants to sing
when she's falling apart
so she kissed me like she did
when i was sleeping in her bed
oh, Ryan how i wish that you were real
that i didn't make you up like i do every other girl
because Ryan well i know that we could be
inseparable forever oh if only you didn't just exist
in my stupid fucking dreams

'68 the movement ends
we all know we can't pretend
we've got so much work to do
and you use punk as some excuse
to hide behind some cheap tattoos
blacklist the white kid in blackface
blacklist the white kid in blackface
i'm not mad i'm disappointed
blacklist the white kid in blackface
now's not the time to shame
it's time to educate
blacklist the white kid in blackface
blacklist the white kid in blackface
you know better,
oh you know better
well i'd hang daddy rice from a poplar tree
there's strange fruit swinging in the southern breeze
oh the doo dah day
blacklist the white kid in blackface

In The Kitchen
02:56
|
|

when you caught me singing in the kitchen
did it fuck you up to know
that i could still do all your dishes
all while singing in the kitchen? d
id you feel guilty
the first time that you kissed him?
and when the lease runs up and i move out
will he move in?
and will his clothes take up my old spot
in our closet?
and if our sheets still smell like us after the wash
will you exchange them?
will he associate the smell with only you
or with what made them?
and if he sleeps on my side of the bed
will you trade him?
does it fuck you up to know
that i can still fold all your clothes?
and does it fuck you up to know
that i can still do al your dishes
all while singing in the kitchen?
cuz our song
it was my favorite song
before you came along

Tongue Tied
01:49
|
|
||
|
well i was too tongue-tied
not to know you were right
but if i had another chance
i would change my mind
cuz i cut my teeth
praying for peace
but you can't pay rent
with apathy
there's a sense of guilt riddled within
when you're helping out the modern man
she said who needs english
when you're starving?
so i bit my tongue
held my head low
until the day
i'd end up home
there's a sense of guilt riddled within
when the joke's been played on modern man
she said i'm not sorry
that you're lonely
but everyone's so proud of you
and all the small things that you do
if only they all really knew
that you were just a tool
cuz you cheated out the government
to finish school and cash a check
there's a sense of guilt riddled within
when you fuck over the modern man
she said who needs english
when they're starving?

Natalie's in the hospital
cuz natalie slit her wrists
Natalie's in the hospital again
and you can spend your whole day
wondering why
or you can just be thankful
that Natalie's alive
Natalie's in the hospital
cuz natalie slit her wrists
it seems like most days Natalie
doesn't really want to live
and you can spend your whole day
worrying about it
or you can just go pay your friend
Miss Natalie a visit
i hope she some day she finds a reason
to want to wake up in the morning
Natalie's in the hospital cuz
Natalie slit her writs
Natalie's in the hospital again

i only know you with your hair up
i've only seen you at work
but i can tell you've got a secret
and i can sense that it still hurts
i want to know what makes you want to die
oh, i want to be the one who makes you want to be alive
i want to rest my head against your chest
i want to take a deep, deep fucking breath
i want to be the one to hold your hand
oh i want to be the one who makes you want to breathe again
but i, i only see you with your hair up
you'll only know me with my mouth shut

Polyamorous
02:01

you're polyamorous now
you're polyamorous now
you met another boy
to hang out with
after class
in some apartment
you're polyamorous now
you're polyamorous now
you pack another bowl
you get a little bit high
and you hang out there
till half past five
when you head back home
you throw some food on the stove
and you hum along
to some old blues song
as the sun sets through
your kitchen window
you wonder who'll call tomorrow
you're polyamorous now
you're polyamorous now
and after dinner
you do your homework
before you read a little for pleasure
call another boy
to come on over
and he'll sneak through
your second story window
you're polyamorous now
you're polyamorous now

Amerikan Dream
01:32
|
|

there were white cops
killing black kids
on some BART train
down in oakland
and they swore they weren't racist
and the jury they forgave him
but it didn't look like an accident
when you shot that little kid to death
but with a jury of your peers
you'll do a minimum of years
that's democracy
that's the amerikan dream
so who killed oscar grant?
not i said the policeman
i swear it was an accident
i'm not some racist sack of shit
but i swore i saw a gun
in that little boy's pants
who can blame me?
it was scary
but with a jury of my peers
i'll do a minimum of years
that's democracy
that's the amerikkkan dream

scamming every friend
lying to yourself
till you're sober or dead
you chickened out again
calling you pops
from the hospital bed
well you have a drug problem now
and there's help if you want it
but you have a drug problem now
and it won't be him to talk you through it
spent so much time
wanting to die
forgot what it feels like
to be alive
to go get fucked
or to fall in love
or to break your heart
and then to pick it up
cuz you have a drug problem now
and there's help if you want it
but you have drug problem now
it's gotta be you who wants to beat it
