As Good as Dead

Well, punk is dead
and, yeah, you're next
but it seems no one has told you yet
So hardcore
You must be sore
You come on like a major threat

Face - I know you like it
Hard 'N' straight
Face - Think I'll hang around and wait

Hey, old school - yeah, you were cool
But that was back in the day

Well, take a bow
Harder than thou
You scream 'Guilty' like a Judge on high
Well, beat them back
the New Jacks
More than music it's a way of life
Face

You High-Fiving Mutherfucker

You're just a walking billboard
for all the latest brands
You've got no taste in music
and you really love our band
You're haircut is atrocious
- it's - been the same since '83
Your glory days are over
and so's your stonewashed jeans

You crass fat-ass
You stupid steroid fuck
I'll bet you even named your
Grand prize monster truck
You want me - you can't pay

You High-Fiving Mutherfucker

You crass fat-ass
You stupid steroid fuck
Hi-jack the pit your shit
Male bonding as moose rut

You want me - You can't pay
You want me - You can't pay

You crass fat-ass

You High-Fiving Motherfucker

Drawing a collective breath
I could cry myself to death
and wash this all away
In a flash you were gone
leaving me a couple of songs
that I listen to everyday

And I don't even care
that you were so unfair
I worshipped one time at your feet
Save up our tears
Catalogue all our fears
Give into the stretching years

Your words hit me just last night
when I saw it with the after sight
what was on your mind
Too late to ever change
things go a little bit strange
you were too far behind

And the reasons I have to live
Are the reasons that you would give
to throw it all away
Save and freeze up our tears
Catalogue all our fears
Give into the stretching years
But that's OK

And I can't understand
why you folded with a winning hand
and decided to throw the bet
I just can't believe you'd leave
with an ace sticking up your sleeve
you could have paid off your debts

And I don't even care
that you were so unfair
I worshipped one time at your feet
Never heard what was said
All nerve ends are dead
Tinitus ringing in my head

Save and freeze up our tears
Catalogue all our fears
Give into the stretching years
Drown in my tears
Succumb to my fears
Give into the stretching years
but that's O.K.
I'm not O.K.
but that's O.K.

I'm not mad
I'm just bored
And everything I do is only because
There's nothing much else for me to do
And that includes you
Messing around with you
Piss away potential
Everyday is a waste
And I'm wasted everyday
There's nothing much else for me to do
And that includes you - and that includes you
Messing around with you
You see me now a little bit clearer
the face I make when I'm looking in the mirror

- it gives me away
the things that I say

You think you know where I'm coming from
the words I say when I'm playing dumb

- it gives me away
- it gives me away

One more thing before we go
I've stepped over everyone I know
everyone I know
You see me now a little bit clearer
The face I make when I'm looking in the mirror

- it gives me away

You think you know where I'm coming from
The words I say when I'm playing dumb

- it gives me away
it gives me away
it gives me away
I'm always ashamed

I'm always ashamed
and that's no way to be

Abusive excuses are all I have to hold
Use and re-use to explain why I'm so cold
One for headaches
One for stress
But the one for fear's the one I like best
Abusive excuses they save me every time

The slow slide down
You never can see it
The slow slide down
You always believe it

Destructive impulses and cowardice and lies
Buzzing back to life like freeze dried flies
Flies for love
and flies for sex
But the flies for fear are flies I like best
Impulsive destruction is where my talent lies

The slow slide down
You're trying to change me
It's all my fault
But you never blame me

It's in everything we do

One for love
and one for sex
But the one for fear's the one I like best
This act is a bore but it makes me who I am

The slow slide down
You never can see it
My act is a bore
You always believe it

It's in everything we do

And I'd like to think that it's out of fear
When you blow into town maybe twice a year

To check on me - see if I'm still here
And you make me think that it's my idea
You've never felt a sense of need
Everything in the world for free
It comes to you so easily
It's never been that way for me
You had me but it's over now
You had me but it's over now
- It's no problem

And I'm not really sure why I let you win
Or even why I let it begin
I've always been an easy in
And easy out the door again
And I know it's only because you're down
That you'd ever want to come around
Just a little secret in a little town
You had me but it's over now
You'll get my attention again somehow

- It's no problem
