i want to get off the couch
i want to find a new sound
i want to step outside
i want to say im alive
im on a mission, im on a mission
courtesy of a condition
my condition, my condition
is something that you cant see
im just looking for a better way
im on this mission because of my condition
and its the only thing i can see
dont want to try hard to be something
just want to let it come naturally
i can only see one thing and thats
a bright future for me
cause youre my friends i hope you'll
never think again about my intentions on this stage
its not just what i say but its what i believe
and now the only thing i now is get up & go
and find my destiny

courtesy of a condition
ive got a vision, ive got a vision
of all the things we can do together
Water In My Head
in all the water she said to me
she said to me im sorry
in all the water she said to me
she said to me its alright
all that i could say
and all that i could do
wasnt enough to convince her
of what i thought i knew
then all her words started to sound the same
started to sound the same as water
yeah all her words started to sound the same
started to sound the same as BLAH BLAH BLAH
she talked about some future plans
and why our friendship had to end
but it wasnt enough to change my mind
about what i thought i knew
im so confused
and now im dealing with
all the water in my head (4x)
Away
working all the time
and trying to stay in line
but im losin my mind
yeah im losin my mind
i got myself a job
it pays minimum wage
ive got bills to pay
ive got bills to pay
but all i really want to do
is sit back and drink a few
and listen to my favorite songs OK
but this problem seems to neve go away
what do i gotta do
to get myself some food
and i got to pay the rent
yeah i got to pay the rent
im spendin all my money
but i dont know where it goes
and now i need some new shoes
i need some new clothes
but all i really want to do
is sit back and drink a few
and listen to my favorite songs OK
but this problem seems to never go away
all i know is when the weekend comes
that nothing matters then
i just sit back and watch TV
until the day wears thin (x2)
Full Metal Bree
maybe you would like me better
if i had a bank account
and an argyle sweater
ive listened to you talk
you say your life is a bore
first you got your silver spoon
and now you want more
im the kind of guy
who takes life as it goes
on numerous occasions
ill be pickin my nose
i sometimes take a bath
but try not to over do it
i dont like to read books
and when i do i just flip thru it
im not a vegetarian
i like to eat red meat
i seldom wear a shirt and tie
or shoes on my feet
i know i dont have money
and my bank account is low
and when i take a girlie out
its taco bell we go
Junior
junior's got the groove
he don't need to go to school
his musical insperation
comes from his soul
and all the other kids envy
his ability to play
if you can catch him live
then this will make your day
this boy has got ambitions
that are so unreal
his music is so unique
it would be hard to steal
he's got a vivd future
and a shiny path ahead
he plays with force and power
and it doesn't seem to go to his head
he's got the look
he's got the hair
he's got everting that sells
he stays in line and plays on time
he musically excels
there ain't nothing for sure
in this like we endure
but for junior that might not be true
cause when it comes to music
there ain't nothing he can't do
Still Remains
she was just 15
just a girl i knew from school
she had a tshirt that said
fuck authority
sat behind me singing, idiots rule
and every now and then
i think of her
and all the things she couldve
been or done
it didnt have to end this way
i guess it just the way
some things end up
you can talk about her
you can call her names
you can talk about her
but everything still remains the same
you could say she was an outcast
or you could say she was a
victim of circumstance
she lost her mind cause she was different
her parents told her it was ok
they nevr paid any attention
to the girl who was inside
it didnt have to end this way
but their words destroyed her mind
Barfly
these are the hard times
these are the good times
these are the fine times
the keep me in line times
until you went away
now these are the hey days
the never get laid days
the play with myself
and forget about my health days
wont you come back to me
i love the way you walk
the way you smile
the way you talk
and i love
the way you torture me
now im a barfly
i wish that i could die
i never thought it would be this way
and i cant understand why
why you went away
its so mysterious
makes me delirious
sometimes im curious
but all around furious
wont you come back to me
