Anthem Part 2

Everything has fallen to pieces Earth is dying help me Jesus

We need guidance, we've been misled Young and hostile but not stupid

Corporate leaders, politicians Kids can't vote, adults elect them

Laws that rule the school and workplace Signs that caution sixteen's unsafe

We really need to see this through

We never wanted to be abused

We'll never give up, it's no use

If we're messed up, you're to blame

Let this train-wreck burn more slowly Kids are victims in this story

Drown the youth with useless warnings Teenage rules, they're messed and boring

Chorus

Everything has fallen to pieces

Everything has fallen to pieces

Everything has fallen to pieces

Everything has fallen to...

Chorus

Online Songs

Josie, You're my source of most frustration

Forget when I don't meet expectations

Everything you wished came true

In the end we all blamed you

Even though, as they all know,

You weren't the only one, two, three, four

Why do you still keep it around

When you know it brings me down I'm hating everything

And I know that you dated other guys

But I got to wonder why You'd leave it out for me

Why am I still hanging around When I know it brings me down

I'm hating everything

And you are getting rides home is his car

You're making out in his front yard I'm hating everything

Please don't remind me Put your past behind me

It shines so bright it blinds me I wish that it would end

Am I am not fine

Last night I saw you online Your screen name used to be mine

Why can't we just pretend And if we can have another day

I've got so much left to say I'd tell you everything

And I'll laugh when I think about the past

When I see you after class You're hating everything

Chorus

And she said, I just forgot you were there

First Date

In the car I just can't wait

To pick you up on our very first date

Is it cool if I hold your hand?

Is it wrong if I think it's lame to dance?

Do you like my stupid hair?

Would you guess that I didn't know what to wear?

I'm just scared of what you think

You make me nervous so I really can't eat

Let's go Don't wait

This nights almost over

Honest, let's make this night last forever

Forever and ever

Let's make this last forever

Forever and ever, let's make this last forever

When you smile, I melt inside

I'm not worthy for a minute of your time

I really wish it was only me and you

I'm jealous of everybody in the room

Please don't look at me with those eyes

Please don't hint that your capable of lies

Chorus

Story of a Lonely Guy

Push it out fake a smile

Avert a disaster just in time

I need a drink

'Cause in a while worthless answers from

Friends of mine

It's dumb to ask, cool to ignore

Girls possess me but they're never mine

I made my entrances Avoided hazards

Checked my engine I fell behind

DaDa, Dada...

I fell behind

She makes me feel like it's raining outside

And when the storms gone I'm all torn up inside

I'm always nervous on day like this 

Like the prom

I get too scared to move 'cause I'm a boy

Dada, Dada...

Chorus

The Rock Show

Hanging out behind the club on the weekend

Acting stupid, getting drunk with my best friends

I couldn't wait for the summer and the Warped Tour

I remember it's the first time that I saw her there

She's getting kicked out of school because she's failing

I'm kind of nervous 'cause I think all of her friends hate me

She's the one, she'll always be there

She took my hand and that made it I swear

Because I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

She said "what" and I told her that I didn't know

She's so cool, I'm gonna sneak in through her window

Everything's better when she's around

I can't wait 'til her parents go out of town

I fell in love with the girl at the rock show

When we said we were gonna move to Vegas

I remember the look her mother gave us

Seventeen without a purpose of direction

We don't owe anyone an explanation

Chorus

Black and white picture of her on my wall

I waited for her call, she always kept me waiting

And if I ever got another chance, I'd still ask her to dance

Because she kept me waiting

Chorus

With the girl at the rock show

I'll never forget tonight

Stay Together for the Kids

It's hard to wake up when the shades have been pulled shut

This house is haunted It's so pathetic

It makes no sense at all

I'm ripe with things to say, the words rot and fall away

What stupid poem could fix this home, I'd read it everyday

So here's your holiday, hope you enjoy it this time

You gave it all away, It was mine

So when you're dead and gone

Will you remember this night, twenty years now lost

It's not right

Their anger hurts my ears

Been running strong for seven years

Rather than fix the problems, they never solve them

It makes no sense at all, I see them everyday

We get along so why can't they?

If this is what he wants and this is what she wants

Then why is there so much pain?

Chorus

Roller Coaster

Breathing deeply Walking backwards

Finding strength to call and ask her

Roller coaster, favorite ride

Let me kiss you one last time

Leave me standing here, act like I'm not around

The coast will probably never clear

Can I please go home now?

I had that dream about you again, where I wait outside

Until you let me in, and there I stayed

Lay beside me and listen at the wall

We'll keep on lying, until the summer comes

I had that dream about you again

Where you drive my car, right off a cliff

Chorus

Make me promise that I will never tell

All I remember is the way her bedroom smelled

I had that dream about you again, where I wait outside

Until you let me in, and there I stayed

Chorus

Goodnight, goodnight

Every Time I Look for You

I never found out why you left him

But this answer begs that question

Too blind to see tomorrow, too broke to beg or borrow

Young and stupid, left wide open

Hearts are wasted, lives are broken

One more point of contention, I need some intervention

Approached with vague intentions, betray my short attention

Span the distance, bridge the border

Beg forgiveness, round the corner

Every time I look for you the sun goes down

And I stumble when this whole thing runs aground

I left another message, you are never around

But every time I look for you the sun goes down once more

Will the last one out please shut the door

More time apart will give you a few more months to argue

Is this too much to live through? It always seemed to far to

Drive the point home, send more letters

Pray tomorrow, ends up better

Chorus

I never did do anything that she asked

I never let what happened sat in the past

I never did quite understand what she meant

In spite of everything, in spite of everything

Chorus

Give Me One Good Reason

Mom and Dad they quite don't understand it

All the kids they laugh as if they planned it

Why do girls want to pierce their nose

And walk around in torn pantyhose, oh yeah

I like the ones who say they listen to punk rock

I like the kids who fight against how they were brought up

They hate the trends and think it's right to care

It's cool when they make people mad with what they wear, oh yeah

So give me one good reason why we need to be like them

Kids will have fun and often, they don't want to and don't fit in

Hate the jocks, the preps, the hippie scumbags

Heavy-metalers with their awful hair bands

Counting seconds until we can get away

Ditchin' school almost every single day, oh yeah

Chorus

Please Take Me Home

Oh no, it happened again, she's cool, she's hot, she's my friend

I'd drive for hours, it's so, you leave me nowhere to go

She's unstoppable, unpredictable

I'm so jaded, calculated

Wrong

Please take me home, too late, it's gone

I bet your sad, this is the best time we ever had

Buy hope, hope that it last

Give in, forget the past

Be strong when things fall apart

Honest, this breaks my heart

She's unstoppable, unpredictable

I'm so jaded, calculated

Wrong

Chorus (2x)

Why did we have to go date?

It's so easy to complicate

Be strong when things fall apart

Honest, this breaks my heart

Chorus

Time to Break Up

I guess it's only the men, who get messed up now and again

We take our chicks to the mall, we wait in parking stalls

And when we come home too late, she's mad that she had to wait

And my excuse not to call, it never worked at all

Time to wake up, where's your daughter?

Hurts to break up, she was stronger

All my friends say, please don't love her

What did I gain? Now I miss her so

I used to hate the lipstick, it stained and tasted so sick

The pants and the shirts, she threw on my guitars

Oh man I made a mistake, I thought I needed a break

The truth is I'm such a jerk, it's broken and can't be fixed

Chorus

If  you want to call it a heartache

Then I should regret those things, I miss her

If you want the pain to go away

Better suck up your pride and admit you lost her

Let her go, move on, let her go, move on, let her go

Chorus

Move on, let her go, move on, let her go,

Move on, let her go, move on, let her go
