Walls 03:07
Well let's do this! Go on and set it up! Every time I think of you I really wanna blow chunks Yah and every time I see you, yah I think I'm going nuts Their catty stuck up ways, you know they make my life double tough And the way you make me feel like a worthless fuck Without them I know that I'm a better me Can you hear me, can you hear me? Without them I know I'm a better me Can you hear me? Stepping out to knock the walls of you down Stepping out Stepping out to knock the walls of you down Knock them down Oi, Yah Break them down so I can be free I'm gonna save whatever's left of me Every time you see me, yah, you always make a silly fuss So pumped that I ain't with you, yah, I always listen to my gut I'm sorry that your life is boring, yah, sure it must be wicked tough But man life is great now, I ain't your lap dog mutt

Eight bucks and a PBR, a rude boy knows the score Lay me down the tap and let the fun juice pour One shot, two shot, three shot, floor I think I fell in love with you When you dragged me out the door Where the hell's our mates man? Man I don't know Where's your bag and hat? What is going on? You helped me take all of my clothes off Yah I love you, yah I really do You cleaned up all my throw up You saved me when my mind was mush What a nice thing to do Everybody's fucked off But no not you Do you really need some help boy? Yah, I think I do You helped me take all of my clothes off Yah I love you, yah I really do You saved me when my mind was mush What I nice thing to do Screaming at a base head rude boy gets stabbed That's when you jumped in, touch your man and you get mad One punch, two punch, three punch, slab I think I fell in love with you when you threw me in a cab Where the hell's your mates man? We were drinking at the show Where are they now? Man I don't know

Modern The modern American gypsy Bruised, battered, but free Start today Some of us are born to not assimilate at all That's what I was thinking with you against the bar Brace yourself Brace yourself for a true, long life There's nothing they can take or sell me That I won't always have with me The world's enough The world's enough for us who believe First I'm gonna sell everything I see in sight The modern day slave is a gypsy overnight Free yourself Free yourself from their lies You get one life Then drink with God A juicy life I bend my odds It's my right I dare you to take from, from me No you're never gonna see it all If you crawl And there's no more time to stall And you know you can't deny the call Your call

And when your girl's shit father won't leave you alone Saying you ain't got the heart and you ain't got the soul, After working all day, overtime and some more, Just say, “I'm clocking out and heading to the bar” And when the dept collectors won't stop with the calls And your heat and your phone have been shut off And your girl's looking stressed and mighty raw Tell her, “We're clocking out and heading to the bar” And we'll all spin around, spin around and again No the lousy booze ain't just family, they're a trusted friend And if your life ain't fair just toast and sing Oi, cheers to us, we're the best of the all We all need to breathe, drinks are on me So drink on, drink on And when they lay you off from your lousy job, After five years, saying you did something wrong And the CEO is at the end of the bar Just scream, “Hey Prick, best get out of my bar” And when your sister's ex-boyfriend, The one who cheated a lot, Is smirking and laughing leaning on that bar And your girlfriend says you don't have to behave at all Just scream, “Hey Prick, best get out of my bar” Stay young, stay strong Because we're the ones, yah we're the ones Because it's one, two, three Knock them back with me And drink on

Rotten 02:18
What makes you think you can do the things you do? Leave me at the party, with no ride, now I'm screwed Borrow money from me when I need it and I'm broke And when I ask for it back you make me feel like I'm a joke Making out with other people's property you porno loose You can only be happy wearing other people's shoes I think that you need to quarantine Scrub your mind and your body until you're finally clean Because... Everything you say yah, is completely rotten Everything you think yah, is completely rotten You're rotten, you're rotten, rotten through and through I'd rather be me than a rotten lucky you You screw your best friends any chance that you get You're better my enemy, because friendship you don't get Chump on the bills, but you always got the cash How was my beer, when you took to get smashed I'm boiling over, I'm boiling over, I'm boiling over yah You're stool no longer saved by me at the bar Things are clear now; I know exactly what to do I'd rather be me than a rotten lucky you Yah, you're rotten Yah, completely rotten From your brain to your body, you're rotten through and through And I'd rather be alone than a rotten lucky you

Stringers 03:00
When we're driving to the local bar On the radio's the latest pop Can you turn it off When we're walking by the local shops On the tele is that polished pop The silly singer is like a striper A dancing baby doll American girl Please can you turn it off Just turn it off Don't want to hear no stringer - Oh no Just play SKA, Punk or Rock 'n' Roll radio Don't want to hear no Stringer - Hell No We want to here something cool in our stereo Is that too much, too much to ask? No! Put some coinage in that jukebox Scroll around and cue up my tunes We grab the table in the way back First round of botteld beer will be here soon Sort with the waitress shots of whiskey She dissaperars in the crowded room That's when we here something tastless The silly pop stars single starts to boom

It's an argument Of fools Is it gonna be you to? Destination gone astray You had you're on that target But when you grew up, you saw things all changed But we ain't the type that don't forget And you ain't stressing about Fame There is view from a bed with bars Where the same are starving You're mother says you're a off track Punk But she ain't no social Model You're farther says you ain't no big man But can't his face out of his bottle Don't let them have a hold on you Keep your knife carving Your destination gone astray Out if the public's eye

Midnight with my arm slung around my arm Off the subway in lower Allston Home Will they except me back home? Even tough I've been gone for so long Will they accept me back home? Heading up the stairs to Charlie's On a saturday night See all the boys, they saying "Hell man, ain't you a good sight" No other questions, no dissapointed eyes, No reason to not feel right Take a seat at the bar, order a shot and a beer Sure is nice to be home with friends that are dear Home, I'm finally home

17.
One Day 03:53
One day, I'll stop stealing beer from clubs, toilet paper, paper towels, light bulbs and even the cigarette stained rug One day, I'll stop hanging in the bars With the late-night punks and lousy women And all those toxic hanger-ons Did you know, Life is easier than they claim, When you ain't obsessed with fame, And the world knows you'll never be tame When gasoline soaked, With an open zippo flame, Livin' life is a no-rules game, And if I ever step in line I'm to blame. No, don't wait around for me, I'm stickin' to the first plan, It's workin' out for me No, don't wait around for me, Still a mess of countries left that I haven't see. Old friends have grown into American bodies, Have given up on their hobbies, And pull me aside and say "Don't you ever change." An old man, Took a seat next to me at the bar, Let me find out who each other are, And pull me close and go "Don't you ever change." So don't wait around for me, I'm enjoying life too much, I'm self-made free Nah, don't wait around for me, Go ahead with your own life, But me.... Life's blown on mics, Dive on endless heads, Play with as much power to wake the living dead Why I don't fear, Adrenalize new heights, I'll make your Monday into fuckin' Saturday Night. No, don't wait around for me, I don't agree with the values and interests of society No, don't wait around for me, What a decrescendo, Huh? Humanity No, don't wait around for me, You tasted (so warm?), (That's life for me?) No, don't wait around for me, Gotta do my own thing, I'm self-made free
