had a dream I shot paul mccartney
the bullet went through his head
then it hit morrissey
now they both are dead
had a dream I shot davey jones
the bullet went through his beard
then it hit kanye west and the manning brothers (tom brady!)
now they both are dead
had a dream I shot paul mccartney
the bullet went through his head
then it hit morrissey
now they both are dead

what ever happened to the burger generation
all kids eat these days are chicken tenders
what happened to the burger generation
all kids eat these days are chicken tenders
what happened to love and lovely things
I look in the mirror and I just see me
the 1980s those were the days
when indie rock didn't suck (damn straight!)
what ever happened to being alone
kids these days are glued to their cell phones
what happened to the burger generation
all kids eat these days are chicken tenders
what happened to the burger generation
all kids eat these days are chicken tenders

One Time Thing

I can't believe
how malleable you turned out to be
do your brown eyes
mean you're full of shit?
do her green eyes
mean she's envious?
says a second chance is a one time thing
doesn't even see the irony
set yourself free
I can't believe
you would choose me

when I was a young girl
you never looked at me twice
all those times together
all we'd do was fight
permission to fight the feelings that fright
I know that tonight I will be alright
when I was a young girl
you never looked at me twice
all those times together
all we'd do was fight

I have been to Chinatown and
I do ride the Lucky Star and
I waved to you as the bus departed
you waved back and then I farted
I followed you through the busy streets and
I had no idea who I was and
boy that city is overwhelming
back in 'Toga we watch cheese melting

Skate Around It

first cousin to a baker's dozen
she gave me all her lovin'
and then some
she said, "you skate around it
long enough you might
cut a hole right through the ice"
the ice
you end your sentences with question marks
I ask you for the time, you tell me how to build a watch
woke up at noon
stayed in bed for an hour or two
got nothin' better to do
besides be with you
she said, "you skate around it
long enough you might
cut a hole right through the ice"
the ice
you end your sentences with question marks
I ask you for the time, you tell me how to build a watch

Friends

I got this friend who's buried six feet in the ground
he goes to work then rambles around
I got this friend who's nowhere to be found
he digs himself a hole then crawls into the ground
where no one can see him
no one can touch him
nobody can talk to him
I got this friend who lives in a tree house
I got this friend who lives in my house
I got this friend who thinks he's really smart
I got this friend whose mom thinks he's really smart
where everyone can see him
everyone can touch him
everybody can talk to him

"OK"
03:46
|

|
deep in the pockets of this dirty pair of jeans
is a receipt for some things i didn’t need
up on the shelf is a book i’ll never read
it may hold the secret to life but it seems
you’re a dialog box on a computer screen
and the only option you give me is “OK”
so let me untangle the wires
see if i can set things straight
a cold wet comfort like standing in the rain
a chronicle of those hopes not washed down the drain
i cut myself shaving and it was the best thing to happen all week
it burned me like best friends and kisses on the cheek
you’re a dialog box on a computer screen
and the only option you give me is “OK”
so let me untangle the wires
see if i can set things straight
i get out of bed more days than i don't
i brush my teeth, I remember to vote
i try to write between the lines but there's too much to read
ambiguity sits between you and me
you're a dialog box on a computer screen
and the only option you give me is "OK"
so let me untangle the wires
see if I can set things straight

the paints are on the floor and the floorboard's not in right
and it's basically like we're kissing but it doesn't feel as nice
if you just hold my hand the creature will burst out of my pants
like a blossoming new flower that's just seen the light
dear I've finally reconciled
I've made mistakes
but I was only 19 years old
I like to drink tea from your refrigerator
every night before I go to bed
I like to drink tea from your refrigerator
every night before I go to bed

I've made mistakes
but I was only 19 years old

sometimes when I start to worry
then I get into a hurry
then I go into my room
and turn on all my Christmas lights
often times I do not think
before I look into that photo frame
when I look into your face
I remember how sewed my clothes
and then I really start to think
at how much I just miss your face
and all those times you cooked for me
then I just start to cry
cause honestly anything more
makes me feel like i'm going to die
I still have separating 4 from those 21 years
