1. _ Story of My Life
I get to the party, but I'm too late
And I got stood up on my very first date
I listen to country and everybody goes rock
I get to the dance floor, that's when the music stops
It doesn't matter what I do, I just can't seem to win
But here I go again
[Chorus]
And I say, "Hey, that's the story of my life
I had a good plan but it didn't go right
Oh no, I'm overdrawn,
I check my account and the money's all gone
Why me? I don't know what to think,
I finally get aboard and the whole boat sinks
Seems to be the story of my life
I pick a slot machine and lose it all again
But when I walk away, someone else always wins
She finally calls me, I forget my phone
And when I'm starving, you know the kitchen's closed
It doesn't matter what I try, it all ends up the same
And here I go again
[Chorus]
Just when it seems like it's turnin' around for me
There's always something that ends up happening
I found my car, but I can't find my keys
I get to the party a little too late
And once again the music starts to play
[Chorus]
The story of my life
The story of my life
That's the story of my life
That's the story of my life

2. _ Beautiful Bomb
Your asteroids bounce off her like a trampoline
Sometimes all she can do is shake
Lookin' out for you and I and all she sees
Is everybody makin' big mistakes
Takin' what they should just leave
It's given away for free now
Beautiful bomb
It's so beautiful
Fools talkin' 'bout there's enough room for just one of us
Sometimes all I can do is laugh
But the joke is getting tired and old and dangerous
And the ink ran out on the laugh-o-meter graph
I suggest you fire your staff
It's getting so obnoxious
Beautiful bomb
We're living on a beautiful bomb
We're living on a beautiful bomb
It's so beautiful

3. _ Getaway Car
You caught me lookin' at ya lookin' at me
Devil on my shoulder says you're what I need
Go on baby girl you know what I like
Smokin' and drinkin' on a Sunday night
I've got a car I'll let you drive
I've got a cave where we can hide
It's two am do you know where you are
Getaway car
A lot of funny people in this funny world
I'm a funny man for a funny girl
You got a mini skirt, I've got a mini bar and a:
Getaway car
Ain't nothing like it
A shiny machine
If you could just drive it
I'll show you where to put the gasoline
Don't wanna do it like they do on TV
Don't wanna mess around with movies
Don't tell your daddy, don't tell the police
Let's just keep it between you and me
I'm like everybody here tonight
I've got a short fuse I just need a light
Go on baby girl you know what I want
Getaway car

4. _ Hey L.A.
Hey L.A.
There's an automatic teller machine in the emergency room
There's a meter maid she arrives by broom
There's a bear in the air with a lullaby
And a big brown coat to keep you warm at night
There's a money tree
And the ladder leans up against the trunk
But the steps are greased
Hey L.A.
Where you from
Where have you gone now
Well it looks like someone's spaceship crashed
In Babylon
There's a plastic man with a plastic knife
In a rubber hand at a drastic price
Don't miss this show you will be amazed
You're a shining star, a needle in the haze
There's a man upstairs
With the fire below
There's the elevator
And away you go
Hey L.A.
Where you from
Where have you gone now
Well it looks like someone's spaceship crashed
In Babylon
There's a smooth operator
There's a famous Governator
Everybody walks in L.A.
On a backward escalator
It's a soul terminator
It's a sea of alligators
On each and every corner
There's a broken hearted waiter
Hey L.A.
Where you from
Where have you gone now
Well it looks like someone's spaceship crashed
In Babylon

5. _ Crawl
Hey cousin, I know you
Not long ago in the city zoo
You haven't changed
You still ain't standin' up straight
And I been thinkin' 'bout what we've become
Or what we haven't, just look what we've done
Still making fire out of sticks and stones
Standing united all together alone
Do the crawl, do the crawl, do the crawl
Back into the woods
Do the slide, do the slide, yeah you and me
Back into the sea
Hey sister how you been
Last time you saw me I was wearing a fin
Times haven't changed, I'm still swimmin'
Got to the top to get myself some air
I realized that it was better down there
It's like a jungle but there ain't no laws
No helping hands just grubby paws
Do the crawl, do the crawl, do the crawl
Back into the woods
Do the slide, do the slide, yeah you and me
Back into the sea
My naked eye saw a fly in a jar with a hole in the lid
To tell his kid exactly where not to go
I saw the puppet string screwed into his head
I heard the puppet lie
I felt the banner shred
I can smell the smoke
As well as a rat
I can teach that dog
I can learn from a cat
Throw it in reverse
So I can hit erase
I can taste the blood
Do the crawl, do the crawl, do the crawl
Back into the woods
Do the slide, do the slide, yeah you and me
Back into the sea

6. _ Right Side, Wrong Bed
The pages of the calendar
Are flyin' off faster as I get old
And if I had a second take
I'd wanna make the same mistakes
Except for the clothes
And the part about the one that got away
When I was blind I fell behind
And here I've gotta stay
And I'm lying here wonderin'
Is it finally sinkin' in
To my weary heart, my foolish pride
And my stubborn head
I woke up on the right side, I woke up on the right side
On the right side of the wrong bed
I'm starin' at the autumn stars
And wondering if you are starin' too
And every little satellite
And aeroplane that passes by
Just leaves me blue
Chasin' my tail like the second hand
Chases those grains of sand
In that television hourglass
And I'm lying here wonderin'
Is it finally sinkin' in
To my weary heart, my foolish pride
And my stubborn head
I woke up on the right side, I woke up on the right side
On the right side of the wrong bed
Chasin' my tail like the second hand
Chases those grains of sand
In that television hourglass
And I'm lying here wonderin'
Is it finally sinkin' in
To my weary heart, my foolish pride
And my stubborn head
I woke up on the right side, I woke up on the right side
On the right side of the wrong bed
On the right side of the wrong bed

7. _ Girl Like You
I've been waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl like you
I'm just standing 'round
Waiting for a girl
Hanging 'round for a girl like you
You standing in a queue
Walking through the Louvre
With your mother
Hi, took me by the eye
Caught me in the hang, undercover
I've been waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl like you
I'm just standing 'round
Waiting for a girl
Hanging 'round for a girl like you
Show someone how to grow
Make a garden be out of nothing
You beating at the moon
Barking up a tree
Stark running
I've been waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl like you
I'm just standing 'round
Waiting for a girl
Hanging 'round for a girl like you
Living in a rocky world
Listen to the mockingbird
Listen when your mama says
Baby come home, real home
I've been waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl
Waiting for a girl like you
I'm just standing 'round
Waiting for a girl
Hanging 'round for a girl like you

8. _ Summer Girl
Summer girl, melting me
Hopelessly drifting out to sea
Let me take you to the old arcade
I got a pocket full of sandy change
I don't know much but I have a clue
You've never owned a pair of shoes
When winter comes promise me
You'll keep me warm and always be
My summer girl, ever brown
You're laughing as I'm sinking down
Behind your shades, do you know
How to save a drowning soul?
The sunny days are way too long
I'm out of place where you belong
When darkness falls promise me
You'll keep me warm and always be
My summer girl
(Summer girl)
Summer girl
(Summer girl)
The leaves are slowly turning golden brown
But I'll be here when you get back into town
Don't know much but I have a clue
You've never owned a pair of shoes
When winter comes promise me
You'll keep me warm and always be
My summer girl
(Summer girl)
Summer girl
(Summer girl)
Summer girl
(Summer girl)
Summer girl
(Summer girl)
My summer girl
(Summer girl)
My summer girl
(Summer girl)
My summer girl
(Summer girl)
Summer girl

9. _ So Insane
Have you looked at the stop watch lately?
When was the last time you clocked-in?
There is a race to be run and a song to be sung
There is a fine line wearin' thin
So don't look back the past has past
The future is comin' fast
You better make room, we're comin' through
Loud and clear
We got the hands to turn this around
We got the plan to make it go down
We got the voice fillin' this room
We got the minds, the minds that go boom
Get up get out get on that train
It's becoming so insane
This tiny blue marble is rollin' away
Have ya checked out the temperature lately
There's a fever that's about to break
There is a game to be won and a song to be sung
This is our battle cry, make no mistake
So don't look back the past has past
The future is comin' fast
You better make room, we're comin' through
Loud and clear
We got the hands to turn this around
We got the plan to make it go down
We got the voice fillin' this room
We got the minds, the minds that go boom
Get up get out get on that train
It's becoming so insane
This tiny blue marble is rollin' away
So don't look back the past has past
The future is comin' fast
You better make room, we're comin' through
Loud and clear
We got the hands to turn this around
We got the plan to make it go down
We got the voice fillin' this room
We got the minds, the minds that go boom
Get up get out get on that train
It's becoming so insane
This tiny blue marble is rollin' away
We got the hands to turn this around
We got the plan to make it go down
We got the voice fillin' this room
We got the minds, the minds that go boom
Get up get out get on that train
It's becoming so insane
This tiny blue marble is rollin' away

11. _ Quality Control
They've swept up the rubbish
And took out the garbage
No more noise pollution in the air
Just smog
Well sooner than later
Under the radar
They're starting a revolution off the air
C.C. I've got your quality control
They've cleared up the channels
Program and progress
If you haven't noticed you have just been whored
And turned out
Behind the receiver
The silver deceiver
Well we ain't bending over anymore
We've tuned out
C.C. I've got your quality control
Goin' to bed with an industry death wish
On an idolless pillow
Sleeping with the fish
The lottery winners they're all talkin'
But sayin' nothin' and soon they'll be walkin'
They've swept up the rubbish
And took out the garbage
Program and progress
If you didn't notice
Sooner than later, under the radar
We're starting a revolution off the air
C.C. I've got your quality control
