LAGWAGON FAT WRECK (Time severly wasted by : IAMHOLTZ@oak.grove.iup.edu)

TRAGIC VISION
In This faltering nation
the future belongs
to the children in school
There's something wrong
6th grader on crack
Hangun overflowing in his hands
Now he is just further demand
We search for the source
and still that child is left watching
Inhumanity, bloodshed
as the tele-violence feeds his head
(Chorus)
Only if he knew
the consequence of greed
A concious state of mind
T.V. is not reality
Never a victim the role model said
Bamg, bang the bad guy is dead
Always a rockstar on eMpty T.V.
The lesson complete
Now the child has needs
of competition they bleed
Oh beautiful for bills of green
Nevermind spacious skies overhead
Bleed the earth and butter your bread
(Repeat Chorus)
Child turns on T.V.
What does he see?
Nature of man, dishonesty
That child grows old
Story be told
as he sits behind bars
and his soul growz cold

FOILED AGAIN
Realizing it's too late
Destiny turns ot fate
Realizing it's too late now
(Repeat)
Now you say it's over
and the monkey's off your back
All it took was valium
and a couple of six packs
So once again you've lied
and your story remains the same
Because misery loves company
and you're the one to blame
It's Your life
and it's always the same
It's your lie
and it's always the same to me

BURY THE HATCHET
I can't recall the hurting words that I once said
So long ago, still indignation clouds your head
And it's enough to know the pain of losing friends
You perpetuate certain senseless hate
and I can picture you today as you say
"I used to know that guy"
And as you speak they watch your face split into
two
And when you see me
it's always hey Joe,
how is it goin' bro?
where have you been man?
We used to be such good friends
Two-faced you don't care
You know what you can do with it
I can't pretend
and you just want a war man
and there you go again
You ought to bury the hatchet
and leave behind all the lies
and your disguise
You know that I just want to
bury the hatchet
How much more will you permit?
Think about it you'll admit
you and I have got to bury the hatchet
Am I really that bad?
Sometimes I second guess
Often times I wonder why my head is such a mess
But put yourself in my shoes and picture if you can
All these insecurities create that bitter sad man you
see
hurting
Not me
I forgive, I forget
I won't say the things that I'll regret
Not this time
I will stop, but just between you and me
it's a loss
Hypocrite
Don't give me that shit

ANGRY DAYS
Angry youth
MR. Elite
Your older now
Inside your head lives an old scene
MR. Punk
Sad and hating everyone
Your exucuse is old
The way you felt has left you hating yourself
Cause everyone is so confused
You never worked for a cent
Self0destructive you pay your debt
Cause you miss another time
when all your friends were divine
Now all of them have gone or changed
Do you still live in angry days?
But when you've lost someone you love
When your mask is taken off
Does life cut you down to siz?
Does it open your eyes?
Because they all have found their way
as you struggle through your maze
You built those walls of hate
Don't tell me it's too late

NOBLE END
He grew up with nothing
He lived and died poor
a father of four
He left his family temporarily
for a future based on words of chicanery
They said join the Army
Join the Navy
He joined the Marines
and his children were proud
but exhaltation was exhausted
and patronage died
when this expendable number
left his family of five
Imposture
and all that man wanted was
to provide a better existence for
his kids and wife
An investment that cost him his life
A family of ethics has...
A fatality of war can't be noble enough
to justify the loss of life so young
Continental security
Atonement, there's no such thing
There was no hero in the end
Only letters of resent, remorse, regret
Bitter resent
Imposture
and all those boys wanted was
to be alive,
a return of existence yet
so many died
and those who returned were alone
with nothing awaiting at home
Again the headlines read
"A Noble Soldier Finds A Noble Ending"
They are the ones who can be done without
Expendable numbers forgotten
no doubt
A family of ethics has died

CHILD INSIDE
Too many hangars in the closet
A clutter of confusion
Too little rectitude to hold
a moral absolute
Too much distinction to relate to them
Irresolutions we contemplate with no end
In this world of give and take
And what we refer to as maturity
from emotional need to technology
has you, a cultured seed of your society,
lacking ability to feel clemency
I'm surprized we still
bleed into the abyss of despair
that's hiding the child
Compassion you would not dare
admit to have experienced
Do you regret looking back?
A penitent confessing his sins
The child inside of me recalls a time of purity,
an outlook of release
You remember
Confident that you were able
A future laid out on your table
Running through memories
a child is free
The world restored you see
I see
The child inside of me

BAD MOON RISING (John Fogerty cover)

BEER GOGGLES
The turn out tonight is weak
The crowd is looking meager
Only 40 to 50 in the flock
but 3 more beers and I'm playin' Woodstock
And you can probably see that we're not all that tight
A couple more drinks will alter your sight
That does not mean fight
I'm not saying I have to be drunk
but tequila shots make it more fun
I'm havin' fun
(Chorus)
Oh, Beer Goggles
I love to put them on
Next to eachother at the bar
She's thinkin' he's the one
I'm thinkin' where's my car
She thinks I look good
Obviously she didn't smell that fart
"Oh, what kind of cologne is that you're wearing?"
Hey man, it's a start
"Hi, my name's Barbie"
"My name's Ken"
The perfect couple 'cause we're drunk in the head
I'm drunk again
(Repeat Chorus)
And one size fits all!!!

INSPECTOR GADGET (instrumental)

PARENTS GUIDE TO LIVING
Wasting his days and his nights
Nothing's changed
Nothing's right
He has no sense of pride
Sees no respect in his parents eyes
and why should he care?
No one ever cared for him?
Wasting her nights and days
Sixteen with a child
God wouldn't have it any other way
And then they told her of shame
and that impurity made her bed
no fuckin' CHOICE
She took two lives instead
All these worthless nights
All these wasted days
Down the path I follow you
because who am I?
Denial
I still care
but it's my life in despair
Laughing harder
In self-concious
I've played my last solitaire
That shirt's too tight to wear
Wasting my days nad nights
Nothings changed
Nothings right
I know I'm not exactly
the parents guide to living
but it's the road less traveled
in this world so unforgiving
and I've lost count of score

MR. COFFEE
Nothign has broken
MR. Coffee has spoken
The familiar wake-up call
sings to my ears
I wake up with a shrug
To the floor with a thud
Where in this hellhole is my coffee mug?
I can now face the day
on legal speed (The American way)
I'm sketching
I'm seizing
I'm spazing
I'm shaking
I can not stop spilling on my brand new shirt
I-I-I'm wored
I'm so inspired
I drank the entire pot
so off to work
Here I come to save the day
on legal speed (The American way)
Drinking coffee
I drink coffee
Drinking coffee everyday

OF MIND AND MATTER
They spoke bravely
It opened our eyes
We swallowed their pride
A new era
So whee is the new advise
It seems the older methods no longer suffice
The very oldeest if thoughts
cast into the mold of these new times
Vindictive, he raises his fist
The animal is instinctive
Everyone desires peace
but indread of war,
still arms increase
Perpetual with only one end
When that savage nature destroys them all
All is written
All is forgiven
All is lived again
After all, this worthless progress
is progress made for change
After all these vain advances
does that concerned animal value his life?
Cornered
Human nature alive

STOP WHINING
Can't you see
we the people can make the choices
You and I must raise our voices
To build a future where we belong
Revoke oppression and right and wrong
But do you vote or do you only complain
Do you just carry on in vain
As your economy crashes,
your country goes to war
The deficit
Their answer to tax the poor
But you may never know
what you refuse to learn
Do you work the system
or do you get burned?
Do you ignore your abilities
or your intellect?
Are you obselete?
An easy out, you forget it all
but it's the hardest path
and you chase to follow
You wouldn't speak for yourself
and now you're spoken for
This is something you can not ignore
It's time
for you to notice
the things that die
with no more lies
You can't deny
You're always high
and you still bitch
Makes me sick
It makes me sick the way you always
fuckin' bitch
I remember a time when I thought it wasn't fair
The scales of justice did impair
but with no darkness
theere would never be light
there would never be light
Without injustice we'd never have a right

LAG WAGON
Unemployment is my scene
Brain dead - the fumes I breath
Blah Blah Blah BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla
Carp is a town, not a fish
Too dumb to care
The S.B.-Goleta connection
Feelin' like a champion
All aboard the lagwagon
It's fast enough for me
Slow
Me-and-my friends
on the couch
Give me a sofa and some snacks
The idiot box-that T.V. trash
The V.C.R.-some stupid films
The remote control
Fuck the bills
There's no point in a job
The pay just sucks if you're a slob
I'm not lying
I'm lazy
and all my friends are just like me
(Chorus)
Garga jibs and metal riffs
Beer bings and bing hits
I hate that scene
Santa Barbara boredom
Goleta-postmortem
Small town minds
can you rekate to me?
(Repeat Chorus)
All aboard the lag wagon!!!
