Yesterday was of coarse the cause of it all Yesterday was of coarse of coarse it can fall And still we strain forth And still we slave for what Yesterday was of coarse the cause of it all Yesterday was of coarse of coarse it can fall And still we strain forth And still we slave for what The shadow of the shadow cause no concern The stagger of the prophets we assume We stagger to the job site and it's always the same Well you lose They're going around They're always going around and around They're always going around and around They're always going around and around That's the way we seem to lose Boom badda Boom badda Boom badda Boom badda Boom badda Boom badda Boom badda Boom badda Boom badda Boom badda Boom badda Boom badda Boom badda Boom badda Boom badda Yesterday was of coarse the cause of it all Yesterday was of coarse of coarse it can fall And still we strain forth And still we slave for what And the cold, cold world called capital We got fucked up relations in a sexist pool So write another dumb song about capital Well ya know, Oh yeah that corpse is stinking! And all my friends are dying or dead And I don't care they're playing to win Justified in greed they're playing to win And all my friends are dying or dead Want better action, wait Wait Wait

Don't Change 02:00
I'm standing here on the ground The sky above won't fall down See no evil in all directions Resolution of happiness Things have been dark for too long Don't change for you Don't change a thing for me Don't change for you Don't change a thing for me I found a love that I had lost It was gone for too long There is no evil in all directions Execution of bitterness Message received loud and clear Don't change for you Don't change a thing for me Don't change for you Don't change a thing for me Don't change for you Don't change a thing for me Don't change for you Don't change a thing for me Don't change for you Don't change a thing for me

Are teenage dreams so hard to beat? Every time she walks down the street Another girl in the neighborhood Wish she was mine, she looks so good I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight Get teenage kicks right through the night I'm gonna call her on the telephone Have her over 'cause I'm all alone I need excitement oh I need it bad And it's the best, I've ever had I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight Get teenage kicks right through the night Are teenage dreams so hard to beat? Every time she walks down the street Another girl in the neighborhood Wish she was mine, she looks so good I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight Get teenage kicks right through the night yeah I'm gonna call her on the telephone Have her over 'cause I'm all alone I need excitement oh I need it bad And it's the best, I've ever had I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight Get teenage kicks right through the night, yeah I wanna hold her wanna hold her tight Get teenage kicks right through the night, yeah

The Drawback 01:30
Seen the troubles and the evils of this world I've seen the stretches between godliness and sin I've had the promise and confessions of true faith And the hypocrisy that always lies within And they left it for you All of this for you And they left it for you All of this for you I've seen the products and the other world of waste I've seen the color of corruption deep within I've seen them lose themselves in dignity and taste To see in black and white and through to black again And they left it for you All of this for you And they left it for you All of this for you And they left it for you All of this for you And they left it for you Everything for you I've seen the troubles and the evils of this world I've seen the ones who can succeed but always lose I've seen what's left of poor technology and work And watched them dying as they leave their ship of fools And they left it for you All of this for you And they left it for you All of this for you

Stupid Sun 01:51
We were young horny punk in love When we wrote this song, yeah, yeah, yeah To merely exist is not nearly enough Underneath the stupid sun Burning up along with everyone A variable in the equation Equal to or less than the total sum Now that she loves Jesus She don't love me no more, no, no Said she's moving away to heaven I must plant my seed alone Underneath the stupid sun Burning up along with everyone A variable in the equation Equal to or less than the total sum

Fuck and Run 02:32
I woke up alarmed I didn't know where I was at first Just that I woke up in your arms And almost immediately I felt sorry 'Cause I didn't think this would happen again No matter what I could do or say Just that I didn't think this would happen again With or without my best intentions And whatever happened to a boyfriend The kind of guy who tries to win you over? And whatever happened to a boyfriend The kind of guy who makes love 'cause he's in it? And I want a boyfriend I want a boyfriend I want all that stupid old shit like letters and sodas Letters and sodas You got up out of bed You said you had a lot of work to do But I heard the rest in your head And almost immediately I felt sorry 'Cause I didn't think this would happen again No matter what I could do or say Just that I didn't think this would happen again With or without my best intentions I can feel it in my bones I'm gonna spend another year alone It's fuck and run, fuck and run Even when I was seventeen Fuck and run, fuck and run Even when I was twelve You almost felt bad You said that I should call you up But I knew much better than that And almost immediately I felt sorry 'Cause I didn't think this would happen again No matter what I could do or say Just that I didn't think this would happen again Without or without my best intentions I can feel it in my bones I'm gonna spend my whole life alone It's fuck and run, fuck and run Even when I was seventeen Fuck and run, fuck and run Even when I was twelve

You and Me 03:15
I've been so down lately You've been so low lately Nothing seems to work out for you and me For you and me I've been so down lately You've been so low lately Nothing seems to work out for you and me For you and me Sister says we can buy it all back at the grocery store Baby brother really fucked it up this time This isn't fun anymore, it's not as fun as it was It's just a part of yourself that doesn't matter much anyway I've been so down lately You've been so low lately Nothing seems to work out for you and me

Promise 02:14
If you need a friend Don't look to a stranger You know in the end Shellshag will be there When you're in doubt W you're in danger Take a look all around And I'll be there I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me I promise, I promise you, I will When your day is through And so is your temper You know what to do And I'll be there Sometimes if I shout It's not what's intended These words just come out With no thought to bear I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me I promise, I promise you I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be And if I had to walk the world I'd make you fall for me I promise you, I promise you I will

I know a place up in the air It's not very far, I've been there before I know a place, cool and warm Cooling my blood, warming my heart So come on down and walk with me, and tell me I'm your man I only want to know a couple of things about you Where were you when I was in so much trouble with myself And do you still believe in me like I believe? I've been thinking good-good things about you Cool and warm, good-good things about you If you've been thinking good-good things about me So cool and warm when you put your arms around me On my own, I know where to go Living the lie, in your eyes I know a place, cool and warm Cooling my blood, warming my heart So come on down and walk with me, and tell me I'm your man Let's see if I can get it right with you this time around I'm not afraid of losing you my little girl But do you still believe in me like I believe? I've been thinking good-good things about you Cool and warm, good-good things about you If you've been thinking good-good things about me So cool and warm when you put your arms around me

Runners Legs 01:28
You don't have runners legs But you run away so much Why don't you have a drink With someone you can trust Ooh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Why don't those runners legs run back to me Be with me, can't you see Ooh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Why don't those runners legs run back to me Be with me, can't you see My legs have run before But they know when to stop Why don't you take a break And we'll both learn how to walk Ooh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Why don't those runners legs run back to me Be with me, can't you see Ooh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Why don't those runners legs run back to me Be with me, can't you see

Mystery 01:35
You think I'm retrospective Of someone you used to know I think it's indecision That leaves us a long way to go But you say... It's not that way... Try to make amends So it will never ends You don't care about it You don't care about it You don't care about it You don't care about it But can't you see... It's a mystery I've always tried to wonder How it must feel to be real In one door out the other Undercover, do you think it shows? But you say... It's not that way... Try to make amends So it will never end You don't care about it You don't care about it You don't care about it You don't care about it But can't you see... It's a mystery

A police car and a screaming siren A pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete A baby wailing and stray dog howling The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking That's entertainment, that's entertainment A smash of glass and the rumble of boots An electric train and a ripped up phone booth Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat Lights going out and a kick in the balls I say that's entertainment, that's entertainment Days of speed and slow time Monday's Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday Watching the news and not eating your tea A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls That's entertainment, that's entertainment Waking up at six AM on a cool warm morning Opening the windows and breathing in petrol An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard Watching the tele and thinking about your holidays That's entertainment, that's entertainment La la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la La Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away That's entertainment, that's entertainment Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude Getting a cab and traveling on buses Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs I say that's entertainment, that's entertainment La la la la la la La la la la la la La la la la la la La
