Well, Well, Well
The present has scared away the past. And there's nothing left but now and future. Time is moving all to fast I tried to grab some but it passed. But thats the way it'll always be for me and you. Pushing through and pushing way to hard in front of me a cart filled with future. All to young to young to think like this. Too much time has passed and I can't stand the future.

A.K.A I-D-I-O-T
You laugh at me and call me i-d-i-o-t. You laugh and turn your back cause I'm not like you're supposed to be. But it's not a question - a question of low iq. Cause if it was well then the answer wouldn't be me but you. a.k.a i-d-i-o-t, don't know who the hell I'm supposed to be i-d-i-o-t a.k.a i-d-i-o-t, yeah thats me i-d-i-o-t. I put with being laughed at cause I put up with being me. And then on artificial someone says I'm the i-d-i-o-t. But I got motivation yeah I pretty much love it all. To make your artificial nation stumble and fall.

I know that I'm a screw up. I know I'm in a band. I know that I am up against a mighty mighty man. But I'm satisfied with being, being one of the lucky few. Who'll be the ones laughing knowing that the joke is gonna be on you.

Here We Go Again
A neon light is seen above every average teen. A sign spelling out a word that none of us has heard. Fourteen bucks today and I get a new life tommorow a new product rejects unhappy moments and sorrow. I'll take this one and that one and then some more. I'll use a piece of paper and the almighty pen - here we go again. A voice inside of me says insufficiency how come it worked out for you? I better try something new. Not satisfied just yet - wanna recieve and get. I believe that word my inner voiceis never left unheard.

I'm A Wicked One
They say it's off the record gotta keep it clean. Can't be too abusive can't be too odscene. But he's got a plan to build a future he's been putting it off for way too long. Another safety pin through his cheek and he's three chords short of a punkrock song. Wicked is as wicked does he'll fight it till the end he'll show his finger than say: I'm a wicked one. He's a stereotype bastard and he likes it that way. Can't be all taht happy can't be all that gay. Wicked is as wicked does he'll fight it till the end he'll show his finger than say: I'm a wicked one. They say get off the stage they say get outta here. Can't be all that punkrock can't be all that queer. He'll make them wish they never knew him he'll make them pay for being wrong. But he doesn't really know how to do that. So we'll give him three chords to his punkrock song. Wicked is as wicked does he'll fight it till the end he'll show his finger than say: I'M A WICKED ONE.

Automatic Schmuck
