THE MEANING OF LIFE
On the way
Trying to get where I'd like to stay
I'm always feeling steered away
By someone trying to tell me
What to say and do
I don't want it
I gotta go find my own way
I gotta go make my own mistakes
Sorry man for feeling
Feeling the way I do
Woah yeah, woah yeah
Open wide and they'll shove in their meaning of life
Woah yeah, woah yeah
But not for me I'll do it on my own
Woah yeah, woah yeah
Open wide and swallow their meaning of life
I can't make it work your way
Thanks but no thanks
Woah
By the way
I know your path has been tried and so
It may seem like the way to go
Me, I'd rather be found
Trying something new
And the bottom line
In all of this seems to say
There's no right and wrong way
Sorry if I don't feel like
Living the way you do
Woah yeah, woah yeah
Open wide and they'll shove in their meaning of life
Woah yeah, woah yeah
But not for me I'll do it on my own
Woah yeah, woah yeah
Open wide and swallow their meaning of life
I can't make it work your way
Thanks but no thanks
Woah yeah, woah yeah
Open wide and they'll shove in their meaning of life
Woah yeah, woah yeah
But not for me I'll do it on my own
Woah yeah, woah yeah
Open wide and swallow their meaning of life
I can't make it work your way
Thanks but no thanks
Woah
MOTA
Mota...
Every day, well it's the same
That bong that's on the table starts to call my name
I take a hit and zone out again
I'll be paranoid and hungry by a quarter to ten
Watching reruns on my TV
I'm laughing off my ass at three's company
I don't now if I'm understood
But hearing Jimmy buffett never sounded so good
Your memory's gone and so is your life (your life)
Mota boy
But losing out just never felt so right
Your enemy's you and so is your life (your life)
Mota boy
But losing out might feel okay all night
Mota
I'm driving down to the Barrio
Going 15 miles an hour cause I'm already stoned
Give the guy a twenty and wait in the car
He tosses me a baggie then he runs real far
I take a hit but it smells like a clove
Oh fuck I got a baggie of oregano
This ritual is destroying me
But I guess it could be worse, it could be methedrine
Woah yeah
Your memory's gone and so is your life (your life)
Mota boy
But losing out just never felt so right
Your enemy's you and your couch is your life (your life)
Mota boy
But losing out might take
Losing out might take you all night
Mota
Losing out might feel okay all night
Yeah losing out might feel okay all life
Your memory's gone and so is your life (your life)
Mota boy
But losing out just never felt so right
Your enemy's you and your couch is your life (your life)
Mota boy
But losing out might feel okay all night (all night)
Yeah losing out might feel okay all life
ME & MY OLD LADY
She ain't no ball and chain
She ain't no ball and chain
She ain't no ball and chain
Me and my old lady lay in bed all day
And when I say I love her, well she rolls the other way
But really she don't mean it, everything she says
Still if I believe in love
There's nothing wrong, there's nothing wrong with my head
Me and my old lady sit and sip on wine
And when she says she loves me, will I say that love is blind
But really I don't mean it, everything I say
Still if she believes in love
There's nothing wrong, there's nothing wrong with her head
So what if we're making a scene now
You know she don't give a shit
When she's pawin' and grabbin' on me now
You know I don't mind a bit
It's all good and we ain't gonna change now
The world is unaware
So if you want to go on and stare
Coz we don't care
She ain't no ball and chain
She ain't no ball and chain
She ain't no ball and chain
She ain't no ball and chain
She ain't no ball and chain
She ain't no ball and chain
She ain't no ball and chain
She ain't no ball and, she ain't no ball and
Me and my old lady suck each other dry
And when in that position I'm the luckiest man alive
Quenching our libidos, passing time away
Now that I believe in love
There's nothing wrong, there's nothing wrong with my head
Ohh...
My ohh...
So what if we're making a scene now
You know she don't give a shit, ohh
When she's pawin' and grabbin' on me now

LEAVE IT BEHIND
Rage burns can't push it aside now
Can't forgive this grudge is alive now
All the rage eats you up inside
Can you leave it behind, leave it behind?
What a surprise, you're fucked with again yeah
It's a way of life you need to get over
All the rage just eats you alive

GONE AWAY
Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal it's so unfair
And it feels, and it feels like heaven's so far away
And it feels, yeah it feels like the world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away
Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
Black roses and hail mary's
Can't bring back what's taken from me
I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would
And it feels, and it feels like heaven's so far away
And it stings, yeah it stings, now world is so cold
Now that you've gone away
Gone away, gone away, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Gone away, gone away, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I CHOOSE
Look at me I'm falling off a cliff now
I can still hear my mama yelling no no no
But the words mean nothing, can't catch up to me now
And the view is so beautiful all the way down
When I was a little boy sucking juice from a bottle
Believeing my perceptions were oh so real
But I didn't know nothing, still know nothing
Was just enough for me to know the way I feel
This is life
What a fucked up thing we do
What a nighmare come true
Or a playground if we choose
And I choose
Look at me I'm swollen like a bananafish now
I'm never gonna make it, make it out of my hole
But I keep on laughing, doesn't really matter
There's dozens of reasons for explaining my soul
When I was a teenager suckin' booze with the vatos
Discussing who was gonna live to be 21
They said they wouldn't make it, they didn't make it
We're all naked when the day is said and done
This is life
What a fucked up thing we do
What a nighmare come true
Or a playground if we choose
And I choose, oh
Don't know who made this all come true
Know while you're here
Just do what you gotta do
Now if I wasn't such a weenie, do you think you'd still love me?
Prending I'm an airplane on the living room floor
But like a lovely generator, you stand right by me
And if words were wisdom I'd be talking even more
So I keep on falling as I'm looking back above me
Watching as my mama just becomes a little dot
Now I'm, I'm like Deniro, I'm amarillo
And I'll never know when I hit the ground
This is life
What a fucked up thing we do
What a nighmare come true
Or a playground if we choose
And I choose
INTERMISSION
Welcome to intermission
Yeah... intermission
Ahh...
Ahh...
ALL I WANT
Ya ya ya ya ya
Day after day, your home life's a wreck
The powers that be just breathe down your neck
You get no respect, you get no relief
You gotta speak up and yell out your peace
So back off your rules, back off your jive
Coz I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, I'm not asking a lot
Just don't want to be controlled
It's all I want, it's all I want
It's all I want, it's all I want
Ya ya ya ya ya
How many times is it gonna take?
Till someone around you hears what you say
You've tried being cool, you feel like a lie
You've played by the rules now it's their turn to try
So back off your rules, back off your jive
Coz I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, I'm not asking a lot
Just don't want to be controlled
It's all I want, it's all I want
It's all I want, it's all I want
I've said it before, I'll say it again
If you could just listen then it might make sense
So back off your rules, back off your jive
Coz I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, I'm not asking a lot
Just don't want to be controlled
It's all I want...
It's all I want...
Ya ya ya ya ya
WAY DOWN THE LINE
Nothing changes coz it's all the same
The world you get's the one you give away
It all just happens again
Way down the line
There is a chain that's never broken
You know the story, it's sad but true
An angry man gets drunk and beats his kids
The same old way his drunken father did
What comes around well it goes around
Nothing changes coz it's all the same
The world you get's the one you give away
It all just happens again
Way down the line
At 17 Shannon is pregnant
As young as her mom when she had her
Her kid is never gonna have a dad
The same old way that Shannon never had
What comes around well it goes around
Nothing changes coz it's all the same
The world you get's the one you give away
It all just happens again
Way down the line
And all the things you learn when you're a kid
You'll fuck up just like your parents did
It all just happens again
Way down the line
And welfare moms have kids on welfare
And fat parents they have fat kids too
You know it's never gonna end
The same old cycle's gonna start again
What comes around well it goes around
Nothing changes coz it's all the same
The world you get's the one you give away
It all just happens again
Way down the line
And all the things you learn when you're a kid
You'll fuck up just like your parents did
It all just happens again
Way down the line
DON'T PICK IT UP
Ahhh... don't pick it up, no!
I saw a little kid as he walked around
He picked a candy bar up off the ground
He chowed about a half when his face turned blue
Turned out that candy bar was doggy doo
Woah
Don't pick it up I say
Woah
Unless you can throw it away
Woah
Don't pick it up I say
You're gonna be bummed that you went that way
You're out there makin' bacon, no scrutiny
You mess around too much and you got VD
You know you never think so you're sore today
You're gonna take it back to Californ-I-A
Woah
Don't pick it up I say
Woah
Unless you can throw it away
Woah
Don't pick it up I say
You're gonna be bummed that you went that way
Don't-pick-it-don't-pick-it-don't-pick-it-don't
My friend was kinda hurtin' for a girl to try
He saw one that looked like Pat on Saturday Night Live
It had a pair of thingies but a mustache too
Not clearly male or female so what to do?
Woah
Don't pick it up I say
Woah
Unless you can throw it away
Woah
Don't pick it up I say
You're gonna be bummed that you went that way
AMAZED
Somtimes I think I'm gonna drown
Coz everyone aroundīs so hollow, and I'm alone
Somtimes I think I'm going down
But no one makes a sound, they follow and iīm alone
Ohh... (yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
If I make it I'd be amazed
Just to find tomorrow
Yeah one more day and I'd be amazed
Just to see it waiting
Yeah and if I make it I'm still alone
No more hope for better days
But if I could change then I'd really be amazed
And when you know you canīt relate
The one more shiny face
Your heart brakes, no one cares
And when you know you can't go on
Coz everything is wrong
Your heart breaks, no one's there
Ohh... (yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
If I make it I'd be amazed
Just to find tomorrow
Yeah one more day and I'd be amazed
Just to see it waiting
Yeah and if I make it I'm still alone
No more hope for better days
But if I could change then I'd really be amazed
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah if I make it I'd be amazed
Just to find tomorrow
Yeah one more day and I'd be amazed
Just to see it waiting
Yeah and if I make it I'm still alone
No more hope for better days
But if I could change then I'd really be amazed
CHANGE THE WORLD
I see the way the salesmen stare into the sun
I stood and watched them as they fell off one by one
And everyone's so blind
They're not to help mankind
Reach into your bag of tricks and pull another one
Woah, you don't want to change the world like you say
Woah, you're in it for yourself no one else
You're ready saving yourself
You're gonna change the world
You're ready saving yourself
You're gonna change the world
Now when the day is set they'll line up all the same
And those that need the most will never get or gain
The ones you call your friends
Are failing you again
Reach into your bag of tricks and make it go away
Woah, you don't want to change the world like you say
Woah, you're in it for yourself no one else
You're ready saving yourself
You're gonna change the world
You're ready saving yourself
You're gonna change the world
And since you ain't what you say, then just go away
Some don't lie, some don't lie
(Go on now they won't tell, go on now and save yourself)
(Go on now they won't tell, go on now and save yourself)
Go on now they won't tell, go on now and save yourself
Go on now they won't tell, go on now and save yourself
I said woah, you don't want to change the world like you say
Woah, you're in it for yourself no one else
You're ready saving yourself
You're gonna change the world
You're ready saving yourself
You're gonna change the world
And since you ain't what you say, then just go away
Coz some don't lie, some don't lie
I think you guys should try heavy metal, kiss my ass!
Ha ha ha!
