Busch League (Cervenka/Holland/Trenkler)
another distraught thought to start the day
I know I said I'd quit but I might rather waste away
I got nowhere to go nothing to do
another case of suburban punkrock blues
a humble kid ya a real simplistic mind
not sure where I'm going but I know I wanna find
I know there's something out there for me
at least I hope there would be
no point calling off the search tonight
but if I'm still playing power chords
to stupid songs with white-out words
then I know shit turned out all right
I'm fine, just fine

Twilight Zone (Holland)
welcome to the 4th dimension
of self prescribed medication
I don't want it but I need it
all to myself, so beat it
(and now) there's something after me
on the run or hiding constantly
never thought I'd see the day I missed monotony
I'm sick of getting stuck in the twilight zone
I don't know which ways up or which ways down
I think I'm going to lose my head
not sure if I'm alive or dead
fell into something I cant control
I get lost in the same black hole
its harder to sleep sound
you wake up 12 feet underground
or tied in a chair for a communist lobotomy
its something you outta see

we aint got money for the rent
well at least we got real good weed
and I know its bothering you
can you tell its getting to me?
well I'll just go and quit my fucking job
live the next few weeks just like a slob
we aint got money for the rent
but at least we got ice cold beer
I don't wanna go through what I went through last year(oh)
well i know its bothering you and its bothering me
try not to act like you're such a creep

Quit Complaining (Cervenka/Holland)
quit complaining cuz I hate my life too
too many hours spent cooped up in my dusty room
well I wish that I could lose my mind
but it seems attached, you know I've tried
so quit complaining cuz I hate my life too
quit complaining cuz I hate my life more
too many hours spent staring down a toilet on the bathroom floor
everything sucks when your mind is broke
and your life is a long punchline-less joke
another chimp dissatisfied with the zoo

Prequel To Homelessness (Holland/Trenkler)
people always say that I'm a bum
close guess but I'm just a musician
a retard with no ambition
in the eyes of the people that run this show
people always askin how come I'm not in school with a plastic smile
join the herd, live in denial
I'd rather tie a noose around my throat
I'll ask you if I want your fucking opinion
I never thought that you could be so dumb
