North America Sucks

D.B.S.
Ev'rything that you did
Ev'rything that you said
You may as well be down at the mall
Cos that's no different than being at the bar
I saw that look in your eyes
It made me realize
That you changed, changed from what you were
And now you're no better than a pop culture whore
I can't stand being with you
I can't stand that bar scene that you're into
Can't you see what you've become,
It's every fucking thing that you say you'd always snub
I can't stand being with, being with
Sit there like all the old fools
Perched up high on your bar stool
One day you told me, "I'll never be like them."
But I don't see a difference from the outside looking in
All the punks at the bar
Like they could start up a war
Revolution plotted in a bottle,
The thought makes me laugh and I turn on to Nirvana
I can't stand being with you
I can't stand that bar scene that you're into
Can't you see what you've become,
It's every fucking thing that you swore you'd always snub
I can't stand being with, being with you
Being with you, being with
I can't stand being with you
I can't stand that bar scene that you're into
Can't you see what you've become,
It's every fucking thing that you swore you'd always snub
I can't stand being with, being with you
Being with you, being with you
Being with
Dad keeps a gun in the drawer in his room
My best friend is coming over to play, yeah, yeah
We've got his gun, we're having fun
Trying to find where the bad guys are
I pull the trigger and shoot my friend, Oh no!
Oh no! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! No!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! No! No! No!
Run in the house, grab the phone, and call for help
They said, "Hold on, we'll be right there", yeah
Now help has come, they've got the gun
Try to bring him back to life
But it's too late he is dead, Oh no!
Oh no! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! No!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! No! No! No!
I've watched the news for many days (years)
This happens every week
This happens in your town
Don't keep a gun in your house
Don't keep a gun in your house
No! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! No!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! No! No! No!
They feed us brainrot, and tell us that it's true
Dan Rather is reporting something but it isn't news
It's molded & folded, and beamed into your home
The next minute you find yourself dying for fucking oil, oil
Immediate reaction -- to the brainrot in your mind
Immediate subtraction -- to the time left in your life
Immediate reaction -- to the brainrot in your mind
Immediate substraction -- but all we really want, but all we really want, is truth
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Bred into silence by television sets
Accepting lies from media so soon we will forget
The lives that we spend as workers for the rich
You work so much there's no time left to realize that you're in a fucking ditch
Immediate reaction -- to the brainrot in your mind
Immediate subtraction -- to the time left in your life
Immediate reaction -- to the brainrot in your mind
Immediate substraction -- but all we really want, but all we really want, is truth
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Indie Sux, Hardline Sux, Emo Sux, You Suck!
The indie kids are a bunch of snobs
They complain my timing's all off
I think timing is for stupid fucks!
Why do they think I play punk rock!!!
Steve Albini playing god of indie heave,
Stupid dorks keeping time in seven and eleven!
Indie sux, hard-line sux, emo sux, you suck!
Indie sux, hard-line sux, emo sux, you suck!
I'm not a vegan and I have had sex,
So some hard-line kids tried to kick my ass
If you're not like them they want to clean your clock
They're nothing but a bunch of jocks!
They're anti-choice, they're facist youth,
Their songs all song like metal tunes!
Indie sux, hard-line sux, emo sux, you suck!
Indie sux, hard-line sux, emo sux, you suck!
But what about punk rock?
What about punk rock?
Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
I've been told emo songs are deep,
Which translates into really weak!!!!!
All they ever do is cry,
Did something get caught in their eyes?
I just can't understand it all,
Even I don't always bawl.
"Boohoohoo...(Be a man)
My girlfriend dumped me (I'm really sorry to hear that)
And I'm really really hurt"
Indie sux, hard-line sux, emo sux, you suck!
Indie sux, hard-line sux, emo sux, you suck!
It sux, you suck, they sux, you suck
It sux, you suck, it sux, you suck
It sux, you suck, it sux, you suck, it sux
A 100 kids just having fun until you come, until you come
Your steroid arms and skin head, skinny head
You cut your wrists, slash your face, call it performance art, call it performance art
Trying to be cool, you're ignorant
Anti-violent -- Anti-violent
Anti-violent -- Anti, anti
You start a fight, drink beer all night and molest the little girls
Tell everyone there that you're psycho, psy so psy, psycho
Well I don't think you're psycho you're just another show off
Go and shoot up one, one last time
Anti-violent -- Anti-violent
Anti-violent -- Anti, anti
We don't need your war
We don't need your war
We don't need your war
Anti-violent -- Anti-violent
Anti-violent -- Anti, anti
Anti-violent -- Anti-violent
Anti-violent -- Anti, anti
Last night, turned on my T.V. set and I couldn't believe what was on
Some fucking rich kid crying cause her boyfriend left her cold
Well why the fuck is this shit playing over air?
To make us feel sorry for some fucking millionaire?
Well I was getting sick and I was getting mad,
I took a chair and smashed it right into the set
Some fucking businessman is crying "Boo-fucking-hoo"
As he laugh and thinks of all the 'poor suckers' he screwed
Well I said, fuck this propaganda, fuck the news,
It just controls your minds, it fills your head with crap!
You'll scream tonight, so throw it away
You'll scream tonight, so stay away, stay away
It's a commercial about some barbie type clone blonde
She's six foot four and only weighs one hundred pounds
She looks so natural like a fucking starving child
They sell her body and her self esteem out loud
Some old man sits the drooling at this fucking smut
"If she'd take off her shirt well, that would be good luck!"
"What was she advertising for anyways?"
He can't remember, "But she sure had killer legs..."
Well I said, degrading women, well it's nothing new
He's got a hard on now and that's just fucking 'great news'
You'll scream tonight, so throw it away
You'll scream tonight, so stay away, stay away
You'll scream tonight, so throw it away
You'll scream tonight, so stay away, stay away
Their System Doesn't Work For You
One day while sitting in my room
You came in preaching, your words predicting doom
You've never once been happy with me
Because I'm not what you want me to be, no!
You tried to teach me to pray and go to school
You tried to teach me to be the systems tool
But you missed what I was smart enough to see
That their system doesn't work for you or me
Oh! Don't believe what they say is true
Oh! Their system doesn't work for you
Oh! You can be what you want to be
Oh! Don't have to choose to join the corporate army
For god and country, give up your life
Don't try to figure out what's wrong or right
You never tried to stop to look to see
That you're exactly what you're told to be
You did everything fucking right
You followed the systems guiding light
And now you fucking bitch to me to get a job
When you don't like the life you've got
You fucking corporate whore!
Oh! Don't believe what they say is true
Oh! Their system doesn't work for you
Oh! You can be what you want to be
Oh! Don't have to choose to join the corporate army (Your choice, your choice, your choice)
Don't have to choose to join their corporate army (Your choice, your choice, your choice)
You don't have to, you don't have to (Your choice, your choice)
Knew he was gonna get it bad as his dad bailed him out of jail
Leading him from the station, by a handful of his hair,
He said, "I don't know what to do with you boy, I just don't understand?!
What the hell makes you act like this?" And looking back, this lost punk said,
"I found it dad, I found the meaning of life.
You're only born so you can die."
So you can die, so you can die, so you can die
She was showered in money, she was showered with jewels
But her dad beat her every day and night and there was nothing she
could do
She cut her wrists at seventeen, everyone wondered why
She had it all, she was rich and pretty, but alone each night she'd cry
She found it now, she found the meaning of life
You're only born so you can die
So you can die, so you can die, so you can die, yeah
They found it now, they found the meaning of life
You're only born so you can die
They found it now, they found the meaning of life
You're only born so you can die
So you can die, so can die, so you can die, die, die
So you can die, so you can die, so you can die
So you can die
Alright!
Watching T.V. talk shows is a lot of fun
I like it when they always have on people who are shooting guns
Inbred couples from west virginia
Inbred people who want to kill you!
I saw a story about a man who fucked his daughter
And his wife was fucking her mother
It was something that'd make you want to shoot up! Yes!
Tonight's gonna be a really good time
I'm gonna go out and get real fucking high
I'll shoot some guns, I'll drive around in my car
You know I'll probably end up at the fucking bar
And while I'm there I'm gonna kick some ass
I'm gonna get real high, I'm gonna fuck shit up!!!
I'll kick you in your fucking teeth if you get in my way
Cos I'm having a good day!!!
That's a good day, I'm just having a good day
And I don't want you there! No!
You'll be at hime watching your T.V. set
You've got your hand holding your fucking dick,
And you're cumming in your fucking mouth
The only people that I bow down to are my family
It kind of sucks that my loved ones don't let me do what I want to do
Grandma always says to me, "Well, It's just a phase"
Well wake up grandma, it's my life and I'm not gonna change
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna change
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna change
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna change
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna change
Alright, we fight, but I'm not gonna change, no!
"Your fucked up hair, your fucked up clothes, why don't you look normal?"
Why don't you judge me for who I am, for who I am?
People mock me on the street ignorant and sheltered
I'd like to think you're not the same, you're not the same
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna change
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna change
I'm not gonna, no, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna change
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna change
Alright, we fight, but I'm not gonna change, no!
I'm not gonna, no, no, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna change
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna change
No not gonna, no, no, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna change
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna change
Not gonna, not gonna, not gonna I'm not gonna change
No, I'm not afraid of you,
Or the fascist things you do,
Fight! We'll fight for what we know is right,
Unite, unite, unite with -- courage,
It's time for -- courage
It's time for -- courage
It's time for, it's time for, it's time for
You can call me queer all you want,
You're just a fucking coward
Fist is ready to fight but what for?
We'll stand up to you cos we got... courage
It's time for -- courage
It's time for -- courage
It's time for, it's time for, it's time for -- courage
It's time for -- courage
It's time for -- courage
It's time for, it's time for, it's time for, it's time for
It's time for courage
The last thing I wanna see,
Is you lying on top of me,
You got no morals in your heart,
You feel no pain
The last thing I wanna find
Is a beautiful girl with a chemical mind,
That controls you,
That is you.
Clean yourself up,
Get your life outta this rut
That controls you,
That is you
I cant stand to watch you,
Desintegrate into nothingness,
But soon enough, that's all you are,
You're future is so far, it's outta sight!
Do you think you own yourself -- You don't!
Do you think you know yourself -- I don't!
If you could only see yourself -- you'd see!
There's nothing more left to you,
Nothing more than a...
Wasted body, wasted mind,
A disgrace to human kind
Wasted body, wasted mind,
A disgrace to human kind
Wasted body, wasted mind,
A disgrace to human kind
Wasted body, wasted mind,
A disgrace
Clean yourself up,
Get your life outta this rut
That controls you,
That is you
I cant stand to watch you,
Desintegrate into nothingness,
But soon enough, that's all you are,
You're future is so far, it's outta sight!
Out of sight! So far, so far,
So fucked up, your not even there.
He's the type to always get good grades, make the honor role,
His parents are so proud of him but they never noticed he doesn't smile
But today he's coming home with a test marked with an F, smiling for the first time
And he thinks to himself as he walks through the door and sees all the A's posted on the fridge,
Boy won't they be mad, now -- He's finally learned to live like a kid
Boy won't they be mad, now -- Expectations out the window
Boy won't they be mad, now -- He's finally doing things for himself
Boy won't they be mad, now -- Expectations out the window
She's the type to always win the race, cross the finish line,
Her coach pats her on the back, as her friends shout "victory", she pretends that she cares
But today she's having the time of her life as she walks around the track,
Her opponents running way ahead as she thinks to herself and she smiles,
Boy won't they be mad, now -- He's finally learned to live like a kid
Boy won't they be mad, now -- Expectations out the window
Boy won't they be mad, now -- He's finally doing things for himself
Boy won't they be mad, now -- Expectations out the window
Yahoo! Run cowbow!
Monday morning at 8:30, across the hall I saw you starin at me,
Cos I was staring at you,
That same day when the clock struck one, we were eating lunch, just having fun,
I hadn't seen you yet, just then our eyes met,
And I knew from that day on you would be the one
The next day at 4 p.m. I wrote a letter I knew I would never send,
But I could pretend,
I wrote down what I couldn't say then I ripped it up, I through it away,
I knew I was too shy, I thought about your eyes,
And I knew from that day on I was in love
Wednesday morning at 8:30 across the hall I saw you staring at me,
As you held some girls hand,
That same day as the clock read one, with that girl you were having fun,
You hadn't seen me yet, just then your lips met,
And I knew from that day on, you were not the one
Ohhhhhhhh, I hate you!
Ohhhhhhhh, I hate you!
Ohhhhhhhh, I hate you!
Ohhhhhhhh, I hate you!
When I met you, you were alone,
But things have changed a lot since then,
Betrayal is a dirty word,
A lot more than it was then.
I hate to say it, but it's true,
I really don't wanna be with you,
And I think that I wanna go home,
So why won't you leave me alone?
Ohhhhhhhh, I hate you!
Ohhhhhhhh, I hate you!
When things first started out,
I was so young and stupid then,
Now, it's over now
And I'm glad it had to end,
A new person in your life,
But I can't stand to see that sort of thing
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Why do you do the things you do?
Ohhhhhhhh, I hate you!
Ohhhhhhhh, I hate you!
Ohhhhhhhh, I hate you!
Ohhhhhhhh, I hate you!
Ohhhhhhhh, I hate you!
Ohhhhhhhh, I hate you!
Ohhhhhhhh, I hate you!
Ohhhhhhhh, I hate you!
I understand your aggression,
You haven't learned your lesson,
You must have missed something,
Now look what you're doing.
You try to hard to be different,
I understand what you meant,
You're full of shit, you're a hypocrite,
Show us why you're doing it.
Far too many people dying on the street
For me to give a fuck about your stupid clique
Far too many people, junkies, drunks and whores.
Bratty little rich kids always wanting more.
You think that you have a cause?
I just think what a loss
That you waste so much time
On a problem that isn't yours.
Far too many people never had a chance,
I suppose that's no reason to save your song and dance.
Far too many people born without a home,
You just keep on whining about a problem that isn't one.
You think you're doing something,
You're just doing nothing.
Bitching, pissing, moaning.
Why the fuck you doing it?
Far too many people dying on the streets
For me to give a fuck about your stupid cliques
Far too many people, junkies, drunks and whores.
Bratty little rich kids always wanting more.
Here we go again,
Here we go again
You always wind up at the beginning in the end.
You haven't learned your lesson yet,
You haven't learned your lesson yet
I can't tell for sure, but I think it's a safe bet.
I guess our lessons helped me,
I guess our lessons helped me
We won't know you're much better than who you seem to be.
And what the fuck is wrong with you?
And what the fuck is wrong with you?
You don't gain my respect when you let them walk all over you.
Around again, around again
Going in circles, spinning constantly.
I wish I would, I wish I could
Tell you things would turn out differently.
Here we go again,
Here we go again
You always wind up at the beginning in the end.
You say it won't happen any more,
You say it won't happen any more
I heard that story a million times before.
I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your eyes
It's not what you wanna do, so stop with the lies.
You're not a fucking prostitute
You're not a fucking prostitute
You don't gain my respect when you let them walk all over you.
Around again, around again
Going in circles, spinning constantly.
I wish I would, I wish I could
Tell you things would turn out differently.
David O. Your gutless.
You don't know a thing about being a hero.
Your fists are clenched ready to prove a point that was forgotten a long time ago.
Concede. You can't make me.
Before you're in control, you gotta break me.
Fuck you, I won't do a single fucking thing that you tell me to do.
Your gutless. Your gutless.
You don't know a thing about being brave,
Your idea of heroism is taking me to the fucking grave.
Concede. You can't make me.
Before you're in control, you gotta break me.
Fuck you, I won't do a single fucking thing that you tell me to do.
You can break my nose 1000 times
But nothing you can say will change my mind.
You're 1000 under me and you'll choke on your militant ideology.
Concede. You can't make me.
Before you're in control, you gotta break me.
Fuck you, I won't do a single fucking thing that you tell me to do.
We won't concede to you!
We won't concede to you!
We won't concede to you!
We won't concede to you! No!
We won't concede to you! No!
We won't concede to you! Fuck you!
We won't concede to you! We won't!
We won't concede to you! Concede!
