Georgia man, make your stand
defiant, gonna get your share of yours
Screaming down the aisle at a smile
It's a wonder to endure
Well I'm scared too, my friend
but it's just pay-per-view in the end
when you're running down the highway
and no bets are going that way
and nobody out today in no man's land
you're gonna break before you bend
We're bound together, people
the ties that bind us ain't by choice
Can't no one hear you call for help
if you can't control your voice

Wild Ones

Well the scars on your arm, they don't mean any harm
they just show where you one time got part of your charm
I had thought you had said you were fine, but instead
you were lying facedown on my bed
We were slated to go to a rock n' roll show
but we sat there in darkness as we got to know
one another as lovers and not just as fair-weather friends
(oooh, sha na na, oooh sha na na)
Well the dreams we devour, they aren't really ours
but they're gifted to us as we count up the hours
'til night runs its course, by faith or by force
I'm kinda hoping they're one in the same
Na na na na na na na
La la la la la la la
Oh baby, we're the wild ones
Hey baby, we're the wild ones
Well I've got this job and it ain't taking me far
you could learn to sing, and I'm already pretty good at guitar
We've got everything we need in the back of my car
and I'm finally feeling okay
No we don't have to stop at the neighborhood bars
we could chase the police and forget who we are
we could put that hammer down and head straight for the stars
If we never get caught, we'll never be tamed
And whatever transpires, our dreams or desires
whether you give in and you make me a liar
or your river runs free and it puts out your fires
Well I know I'll be mostly to blame
See, I've got this buddy who lives out in San Diego
in a halfway house way on down by the sea
we could stay with him for the night
and knowing me, honey, I just might
we could get to Ensenada and back
before we catch a lot of crap
from your folks, who say they care
but they're not moving anywhere
and we could start all over there
there's nowhere else I'd rather be
See I like the summer and I like to fish
and in all honesty, if I had just one wish
it'd be to see you again with your life in your hands
and not hidden away in plain sight
and those work honeybees with their polos and tees
they can do what they want, it don't matter to me
just as long as you hear me shout "hey baby, please
show a little bit of faith in the night"

Degenerates

This is my landlord
he has more property than
an argument between a Briton and an Indian and
I cannot stand when
he checks in unannounced
I pay my bills
and I keep up this haunted house
Me and my lover
our rent keeps going up
we are like two frogs in a slowly boiling cup and
days pass with every time we turn the lock
I am a buzzkill
I'm running out the clock
and raging against the machine
We are degenerates
degenerates
I stay excited
and I stay hungry all the time
my fever rising
my anger and my pride
the world turns without regard for human race
those who provide for it ain't leaving it a better place
Now are we just wasting our lives?
Or are we degenerates?
Degenerates
Oooooh
La la la la
La la la la la
Oooooh
Degenerates
Degenerates
This is my landlord
This is my lover
This is my fever

All night
all white
breaking curfew way across the borderline
north of North
We dance, you shit your pants
staring down a strip of tape wrapped tight around a shield
What keeps an outlaw free from guilt?
Look here now
Atlanta, I love you, you're wearing me down
and maybe it's more than we needed right now
the summer is burning, it's hotter than hell downtown
right now
It's never that never is better than late
I'll stand up with you and I'll never relate
but I'll start thinking about somebody else for a change
No stars
no light
for decades long just sailing blind
it's what you came to be, a generation lost at sea
And how we bitch and moan
Protected by the values of this institute our prequels build
proclaiming we're all equals? Shit

I pick up everything I can off the table my by bed
and I throw it all away
The beer bottles, the napkins, and the broken pencil lead
from when I still had some words left to say
Well I bag it all up, and I walk throughout my hallowed halls
and I take one last disgusted look around
and it may not be as tidy as I wanted it to be, but
it's good enough for right now
It's good enough for right now
My mind keeps wandering back to when you called out all my flaws
how I hurt you more than I can ever know
how I'm not the man you fell in love with all those years ago
how my darker side is starting to show
And despite the days of silence that I've heard from your end
I have finally heard a familiar sound
and it may not be forgiveness, or even any further business, but hey
it's good enough for right now
It's good enough for right now
It is good enough for right now
it's good enough for right now
no it may not be forgiveness or even any further business, but
it's good enough for right now
Whoa! Yeah! Whoa! Yeah!
I've been waking up at dawn, and I've been trying to move on
with the baritone monotony that is my life away from you
and I may not be very slim, but hey, I finally joined a gym
and I've been sweating out the things that make the words I say untrue
And I'm not the first to realize, but I finally see with my own eyes
that I've got some major issues I need to work out
and I know it to be true, I'm still not good enough for you, but hey
I'm good enough for right now
I'm good enough for right now
I am good enough for right now
I'm good enough for right now
Yes I know it to be true, I'm still not good enough for you, but hey
I'm good enough for right now

Too Late to Have a Heart

I see myself in Listerine
as it circles 'round and 'round my drain
I focus on the strangest things
at least that's what they say about me
We try to bring up politics
but our elders get so sick of it
They say we shouldn't make a fuss
they close another door to us
I know that you won't be just another bleeding heart
but honey, I gotta warn you, everything eventually falls apart
I was gonna die young, but life, uh, finds a way
While I'm still here, I might as well say
that I'm tired of waking up every single day to find
it's too late to have a heart
it's too late to have a heart
it's too late to have a heart
Aaaaaahhhhh
Somewhere deep in a prison cell
South Manhattan, living hell
Cold blue lips ain't never gonna tell what happens behind closed doors
Oh no, no no, no no
You used to be a signal fire, now I don't know where you're at
'cuz you'd rather give your paycheck to a pedophile
than another fuckin' democrat
You're crying and screaming, you're cussing and fighting
you're calling for your sisters to ride that lightning
You call that American? Well I call that frightened
and it's too late to have a heart
it's too late to have a heart
it's too late to have a heart
Aaaaaahhhhh
I see them in the airport lounges flying free as birds
I give them peace, it ain't my fight, I read the written word
And I'm just fine, I'm in my line
I don't believe everything I read online
stories only get better with time
and it's too late to have a heart
it's too late to have a heart
it's too late to have a heart
Aaaaaahhhhh
It's too late to have a heart
It's too late to have a heart, whoa whoa
too late to have a heart, no no
too late to have a heart
