I asked her out yesterday
Here's what Nikki had to say
She said that she'd rather turn gay
So why don't I fuck off and go away
I asked her out on a date
She said she'd rather kiss a snake
She said that I'm a big mistake
So why don't I go jump in the lake
I guess I'm out of luck
She told me that I suck
I don't understand why Nikki doesn't like me
I offered her a love that's true
She said she'd rather eat dog poo
Or go skateboarding without shoes
What's a boy like me to do
She'd rather pull her teeth with pliers
Or try to ride her bike without tires
Or set her pubic hairs on fire
She said I'm an asshole and a stupid liar
I guess I'm out of luck
She told me that I suck
I don't understand why Nikki doesn't like me

When you're feeling down or lonely
Like the world is trying to swallow you whole
When you're thinking that you're going nowhere
That you're life is out of control
When you're thinking that there's no one to turn to
No one will listen to what you have to say
When you're feeling frought with futility
Don't let anything lead you astray
Just take the time to think of what I said to you
And listen to this song
Close your eyes and think of me
There's nothing really so wrong
Cause someone is thinking of you
When you're feeling trapped or locked up
That the walls are closing in on your
When you feel the world's weight on your shoulders
And you're not sure what you should do
If you need someone to hold onto
Don't you know you can always count on me
When you feel the need for assistance
I'll be there for you can't you see
Don't you know that I will always care for you
That's not so strange
You mean so much to me
And this will never change
Cause someone is thinking of you

Anarchy is Neato
03:07
|

It's been so very long
Since I've written a political song
But I'll do it again just wait and see
This songs about a girl who's into anarchy
She's the most beautiful girl I've seen anywhere
Wearing a T-shirt with a picture of Che Guevara
I just had to stop and stare
I don't really even care
I saw her talking to this guy
Waving her arms with this look in her eye
About the plight of the workers in Afghanistan
I don't really understand
Still I want to be her man
She was handing out leaflets at the punk rock show
I told her I'm a vegetarian too you know
I play benefit gigs and I'm drug free
You don't get much more PC than me
That's when she looked my way
Here's what she had to say
She said what do you think about anarchy
That is what she said to me
I said Anarchy is Neato
She brought up animal rights and what's my stance
I thought maybe I had a chance
I told her I thought vivisection's cruel
But I thought she was really cool
After a discussion on church and state
I asked her to go on a date
With me to the protest on Friday night
She said that would out of site
Now everything will be all right
We were hanging up flyers on the telephone poles
About the evils of corporate control
Of the third world economy
Its so rad that she's with me
I worked up the nerve to give her a kiss
It doesn't get much better than this
Then I started to quote Chomsky
That is when she fell for me
That anarchist she fell for me
Anarchy is neato
She was handing out leaflets at the punk rock show
Now she is my girl you know
And what's become of all of this
Now i am an activist
And we're so happy all the time
Holding hands in the Food Not Bombs line
And the reason I am so happy
Well it all is thanks to anarchy
Anarchy is neato

Aquaman Sucks
01:36
|
|||
The Flash can run really fast and Green Lantern has his magic ring
But what can Aquaman do, not much of anything
Sure he can swim and talk to fish and he's the king of the sea
But what good is all that in an air breathing society
Aquaman sucks
He might be helpful if I was a duck
Aquaman sucks
I'd rather be helped by The Atom
Aquaman's role in the Justice League is held in close scrutiny
While the go fight crime in space he's left behind to patrol the sea
They say "Serously Aquaman we need you here in case of amphibious attack"
And while they party on their space station they all laugh behind his back
Aquaman sucks
Take him out of water and then he's fucked
Aquaman sucks
I'd rather be helped by the Wonder Twins

Tongue Tied
01:57
|

Every time I try to tell you
Just how much I care
My mouth goes dry I avert my eyes
And my speech suddenly becomes impaired
Its like I've got a mouth full of marbles
I don't make any sense
Every time I'm around you
I lose all my eloquence
I get so tongue tied
Can't you see how hard I try
To express the way I feel
But the words never seem to fit
When I try to say I love you
You'll have to take my word for it
You know I find it very hard
To make my feelings clear
I think up real great things to say
They're out the window whenever you are near
The things I think up in my head
Well they sound really great
But what come out of my mouth ain't the same
I find it hard to articulate
I get so tongue tied
Can't you see how hard I try
To express the way I feel
But the words never seem to fit
When I try to say I love you
You'll have to take my word for it
I'm so clever here up on stage
Down there I'm so afraid
Can't think of what to say
Doesn't matter anyway
Cause I can't think of what to say

Her Nice Song
01:53
|
|||
I've done what I promised to do
I told you I'd write a nice song for you
And I don't want to sound cliche
But I've been thinking about you every night and day
Don't you know how much I miss you?
If you take the Atlantic, the Pacific
The Baltic, Adriatic and the Mediterranean Sea
Put them all together that's how much I want you with me
Remember all the times I said to you
How much you meant to me well it all was true
And I don't wanna make some big display
But these feelings keep on growing more and more each day
Don't you know how much I care about you?
If you take Mount Everest, and Vesuvius
The Andes the Alps and Kilimanjaro too
Put them all together and that's how much I love you

Intense
01:21
|
|||
I stare and I glower
Look at me I'm so filled with power
I'm strong on my guard
Feel my arms I'm so fucking hard
I'm almost as intense as Henry Rollins
I'm not some weiner like Phil Collins
My songs are so deep
I'm so filled with anger I can't sleep
I don't laugh I never smile
Keep my emotions in a ball of denial
I'm almost as intense as Henry Rollins
I'm not some weiner like Phil Collins

Settle For Me
02:02
|
|||
If you're tired of being alone
Its a feeling I've often know
I've never been accused of being a ladies man
So if you ever lose your common sense
Why don't you give me a chance
And I'll give you the best that I can
If you have to settle settle for me
I'm the best of the second best can't you see
If you lower your standards a bit we could be so happy
So if you have to settle settle for me
I know I'm not the greatest guy
I don't know why I even try
I guess that I've not nothing left to lose
I know that you've been biding your time'
And I have just been wasting mine
So maybe I'm a guy you could choose
If you have to settle settle for me
I'm the best of the second best can't you see
If you lower your standards a bit we could be so happy
So if you have to settle settle for me
Well I'm not the best but I'm not the worst
I know I'm not who you would have chose first
But think of how much worse that you could do
I know my mediocrity is not your ideal fantasy
But if you say that you'll love me
Then I will love you too

Used to see her at all the shows
Now she never ever goes
Julia's into hardcore now
She used to come and see us play
Almost each and every day
Now she thinks my band is gay
Julia's into hardcore now
And I don't care anyhow
I'm glad she's not part of our scene
Cause she can be so mean
Now she's down with a different crew
She's got something better to do
Than hang out with me or you
See her kickboxing in the pit
Watch her moving all that shit
You know that she just won't quit
You know she's trying to get an edge
But she can't give up cigarettes
Still she's got no regrets
She's into all these tough guy bands
She no longer understands
All my feelings and my plans
Julia's into hardcore now
And I don't care anyhow
I'm glad she's not part of our scene
Cause she can be so mean

Girl Crazy (Live)
01:51
|

I've gone girl crazy today
I don't know what I can say
I think about them all of the time
Can't seem to get them out of my mind
Don't know what to do
Cause I can't stop thinking of you
I don't know what, what I can do
Don't know what to say
Its such a silly game I play
I don't really care anyways
I've gone girl crazy you see
Is there something wrong with me
I think about girls around the clock
Is this feeling ever going to stop
Don't know what to do
Cause I can't stop thinking of you
I don't know what, what I can do
Don't know what to say
Its such a silly game I play
I don't really care anyways
