Where's My Winnie Cooper

Winnie Cooper where have you been
Have you been breaking hearts of boys and men?
Let's go out and drink some wine
I haven't seen you in long long time
(long long time)

CHORUS
Cause I'm just a lonely punk
I go out (and booze) and I get drunk
Other girls they catch my eye
My heart stops and I wanna die
Winnie Cooper

It's been 2 years and you look great
I'd be first one to hesitate
I'd say that you have looks that kill
So we can go have our thrills

CHORUS
Cause I'm just a lonely punk
I go out (and booze) and I get drunk
It's times like these that their all right
When I see the girls that are way outta sight
Winnie Cooper (Winnie Cooper)
Winnie Cooper (Winnie Cooper)
Winnie Cooper
Whoa

Winnie Cooper (Winnie)
Winnie Cooper (Cooper)
Winnie Cooper
Whoa

Friday Night


It’s Friday night, it’s 4 A.M.
It’s Friday night I can’t sleep again
I pass the time as I paint the town red
This town at this hour is rather dead

Walking down the street to the corner of High
To all my friends I want to say goodbye
I need something ‘cause I can’t think
To all my friends let’s have another drink

CHORUS
Whoa oh oh
(It’s Friday night and I’m gonna go)
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
It’s Friday night

I just smoked my last cigarette
I need something that’s gonna clear my head
I’m walking around and I gotta get out
Gotta get out of this one-horse town

Cheers to you and cheers to me
This place ain’t what it used to be
There’s no cars no one site
Whatever’s left is what I’m leaving behind


It’s Friday night, it’s 4 A.M.
It’s Friday night I can’t sleep again
I’m sick of all the same old shit
Building something new better count my bricks

Walking down the street to the corner of High
To all my friends I want to say goodbye
I need something ‘cause I can’t think
To all my friends let’s have one last drink

Nothing To Lose

I’m losing my faith in life
My faith in humanity
And the worst part of all
Is that I know that it starts with me
I only got one shot
So I gotta make this one count
Cause I got nothing
Nothing to lose

CHORUS
I sit here by myself
And I wonder what went wrong
Cause I got nothing
Nothing to lose

I’m tired of playing games
Self righteous insanity
Say the words I want to hear
While you shut the door on me
Some things aren’t meant to be
Disgrace honesty
You gave me nothing
Nothing to lose

CHORUS
I got no where to go
And I wonder what went wrong
Cause I got nothing
Nothing to lose

Non Compos Mentis

Here I am alone again
Thinking about it now and then
I am running and hiding away from me
Leave me alone just let me be
Take it easy yeah easy for you to say
Living my life is the price that I gotta pay
That’s fucking funny you want to give me a hand
I can’t remember when you really gave a damn

CHORUS
Breaking bashing everything I got
Listen here you bastard snot
Society fears itself
But don’t hesitate to attack the commonwealth
Why am I like this why are you like this
Why are we so like this

Yeah, I just think by brain needs some time
But whoever said crazy was called a crime
Some of the others yeah they call me insane
It’s a merry-go-round until they felt the pain
I’m troubled with disconfusion stolen by a thief
Energetics with their vaccinated disbelief
It’s all good and happy in my mind
You’ll be the one to say that it’s not


Yesterday

Can you tell me where to go from here
What I didn't know I know now
Now I know that I can't go back
And feel the way I felt back then

CHORUS
I wanna go back right now
Can’t you take me back somehow
I wanna go back right now
Can’t you take me back somehow

Transformers, GI Joe
Only things we cared to know
Under the South School tree
County fair, First Town Days
A-Team, Airwolf, football games
Meant so much to me

Saturn

My girlfriend she treats me well
Holds my hand and walks through hell
Then she smiles at me and everything she does is all right
She goes deep within my soul
Turns me into a big black hole
Then she lies to me so sweetly I believe I love her

CHORUS
What it takes, my heart aches
Eyes are blinded by the sun
Love you so and I don’t know
Why Saturn’s crashing down on me

My best friend I call him Joe
Treats me like his only bro
It’s his apathy and treachery that I admire most
My best friend he treats me right
Stays at her house overnight
Between my shoulder blades I hope the knife wound doesn’t leave a scar

CHORUS
My mind’s gone now it’s on
Motherfucker you’ll get what you deserve
I trusted you and I got screwed
Now Saturn’s crashing down on me

She calls me from her bed
Uses me to ease her head
Dirty trick she plays she tells me that she really gives a damn
My girlfriend she treats me great
Takes me to the pearly gates
They open from within and Satan’s grin it goes from ear to ear

CHORUS
What it takes, my heart aches
Eyes are blinded by the sun
Love you so and I don’t know
Why Saturn’s crashing down on me

My fool heart bleeds, it’s you I need
Eyes are blinded by the sun
My sanity you took from me
Now Saturn’s crashing down on me


Brady’s Song

No matter how hard I try
It always ends up the same way
They'll look you straight in the eye
And then they'll walk away

I try not to let it bother me
Some guys they always get their way
Whatever girls want they get
Then they throw it all away

CHORUS
I give up and I don't care anymore
This game is fixed and I don't believe
Then I wake up and it hits me
Girls never go for guys like me

Is it too much to ask for affection
No commitment, just a connection
Then I wake up and it hits me
Girls never go for guys like me

You don't understand what's in my head
First impressions are only what you see
It's a shame you won't give me a chance
Might be surprised of who I turn out to be

Doesn't love matter anymore
You gave me shit then you showed me the door
Physical possessions and popularity
These all become your priority

Heartbreaks & Headaches

I can’t drink the beer
I can’t drink the wine
I’m lost in myself and I miss you all the time
Say…

I realize you have different feelings
But I have trouble dealing
With you pushing me away

I’m down and out on strike three
Please realize that we weren’t meant to be
I hope things work out some way

CHORUS
I
can’t drink the beer
I can’t drink the wine
I’m lost in myself and I miss you all the time
Say…
Why can’t we go back where we used to be?
Why can’t we go back when you still loved me?

Do you remember all the times we shared?
I wish I knew what makes you so scared
Please come back to me today

All of this seems so unfair
But it all can be so repaired
The damage done this way

(CHORUS)


I never thought you would hurt me
My face is shoved in the dirt you see
And until you say that you’ll stay...

Please put me out of existence
Because none of this makes any sense
And until you say that you’ll stay...
(CHORUS)


Gold Digger

Put out for jewelry
There’s nothing for free
You’re nothing but trouble
So stay away from me

Look at my pretty hair
Look at my tan skin
Money’s what matters
And my patience is wearing thin

CHORUS
Give her your credit card
Your life savings too
She gets what she wants
And pretty soon your screwed
Gold digger, how’d you figure
Well it makes me mad
Gold digger she gets richer
When she treats you like that


Mullet Town

The 80’s called they want their hair back, dude
What the hell are you trying to prove?
Mud flaps and feathered hair
I can smell Aquanet in the air

CHORUS
Mullet Man, Mullet Man
We hate you
Mullet Man, Mullet Man
We hate you
Mullet Man, Mullet Man
I like your do
Mullet Man, Mullet Man
We hate you

Dirt-lipped cronies
Your girl’s missing teeth
High tops and pegged pants
Pretty neat (yeah right)

Bitchin’ Camaro and your 4x4
With the rebel flag stuck on the door
Comb in the back with a can of Skoal
Don’t you know glam rock isn’t cool

Business up front and a party in the back
Business party
10 90


Dejected

I can see you running from me
You can’t choose who you want to be
Your apathy is making me bleed
You ignore the truth and deny everything

CHORUS
It seems so very clear
Not what you want to hear
Rejected who I am

Now I don’t know just who to be
You stole from me my identity
Was our love just a fantasy?
Your friends are shit and you will eventually be


Speechless

I see you across the room
And I notice that you don’t notice me
And I know that I don’t know
All the things that make you do what you do to me

CHORUS
It’s obvious we’re not meant to be
I only want what I can’t have
But this attraction seems to get the best of me
And I don’t have a thing to say

Hearts taken moods shaken
What keeps us from always being let down
I’ve given up and you live it up
I know the answer before I even ask the question

I see you across the room
And I notice you still don’t notice me
And I know that I’ll never know
What it’s like to even know your name
(chorus)


What kills is that I’ll never know


Pale

I don't know what I've become
Farthest star from the sun
The swirl goes round and round
End up 6 feet under ground
I don't feel right I feel bad
Kills knowing what I had
My friends have gone away
No reason for me to stay

CHORUS
And you don't understand
Who I really am
And you never will
Never get your fill

Four on the floor is where I dwell
Run from life my so called hell
Can you help me if you dare
You never really cared
It's all been taken from me
Now it will never be
My life a top it spins
I know I'll never win

CHORUS
Would you lie to me
I think it's plain to see
That you don't really care
Never really cared

NO REGRET

Thought was in my head

Be better in the end

Accept that it's the way

Forgetting all my dreams

Sick of paying dues

Just trying to hold on

Restricted by the fit of the mold

That has been made for me

 

CHORUS

Don't compromise your happiness

Or settle for anything less

I know that I'm the only one

Who can live my life with no regret

 

 

Going down the road

Of predictability

Will be safe and guaranteed

To be unfulfilling

Waking up to find

Misplaced memories

Of the person that I am

And the one that I am supposed to be

 

 

Thought is in my head

Be better in the end

Accepting no one's way

I've remembered all my dreams

Live for here and now

Because tomorrow may not come

Avoid the status quo

And be who you want to be

 

Hollywood Idles

 

Obsessed with fortune obsessed with fame

Blinded by glamour have you no shame?

It's on the TV it's all on the news

Preoccupation with celebrity shoes

Hardworking honest American man

Selling his soul for some tape in a can

Media has painted pictures of gods

Held in esteem by academy nods

    CHORUS

    Red carpets, bright lights

    Your role models are not right

    Big city premiere

    Priorities are being queered by your

    Idols (Hollywood)

    Idols (Hollywood)

    Idols (Hollywood)

    I don't want your autograph

    I'm a person just like you

 

Waiting for hours for a souvenir

A picture or autograph or just to be near

West coast Olympus' new royal family

How pathetic could our society be?

CHORUS

 

I'm human like the rest of you

Stand up be counted get your just due

We're all together on this planet too

Success doesn't make someone better than you

 

TV and movies have now come to be

The throne of the world's new royalty

Pray to your new gods the media boxes

While leaders of networks' master plans are concocted

CHORUS

 

DEGENERATION

Not gonna lie

Not gonna say

not gonna sit back one more day

all of this nothin' more I can take

all of this makes me insane and..

CHORUS

I'm not buyin' what you have got to $ell

whats your story?..is it worth to tell?

a little confusion on what I wanna say

My Generation...is not for $ale

Do what I want .. not like you

all the magazines don't like my point of view

not a role model ... make no mistake

if there's one thing that I cant fake its..

Chorus

Not gonna lie...Not gonna say

not gonna sit back one more day

all of this nothin' more I can take

all of this makes me insane and..

Chorus

 

TWENTY - SEVEN

I remember the first time that I heard your first song it was a

such a long time ago but then you introduced me to a

a different side of me that I never knew existed

I'd like to thank you for that but I never got that chance yet

CHORUS

Walk away

Fortune and fame

 

They say the stars that burn so bright

tend to fade away fast

you'd rather go out with a bang

instead of fading away

I remember the first time that I heard your first song it was a

such a long time ago  I'd like to thank you for that

but you went and shot yourself dead

 

Chorus

I remember the first time that I heard your first song it was a

such a long time ago but then you introduced me to a

different side of me that I never knew existed

I'd like to thank you for that but I never got that chance yet

 

Chorus
