DISCLAIMER
Ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to the disclaimer
That's right, the disclaimer
This American apple pie
institution
Known as parental discretion
Will cleanse any sense of
innuendo or sarcasm
From the lyrics that might
actually make you think
And will also insult your
intelligence at the same time
So protect your family
This album contains explicit
depictions
Of things which are real
These real things are commonly
known as life
So, if it sounds sarcastic, don't
take it seriously
If it sounds dangerous
Do not try this at home or at
all
And if it offends you, just don't
listen to it

THE
MEANING OF LIFE
On the way
Trying to get where I'd like to
say
I'm always feeling steered
away
By someone trying to tell me
What to say and do
I don't want it
I gotta go find my own way
I gotta go make my own
mistakes
Sorry man for feeling
Feeling the way I do
Refrain:
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
Open wide and they'll shove
in
Their meaning of life
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
But not for me I'll do it on my
own
Oh yeah, Oh yeah
Open wide and swallow their
meaning of life
I can't make it work your way
Thanks but no thanks
By the way
I know your path has been tried
and so
It may seem like the way to
go
Me, I'd rather be found
Trying something new
And the bottom line
In all of this seems to say
There's no right and wrong
way
Sorry if I don't feel like
Living the way you do
Refrain x

MOTA
Mota!
Everyday, well it's the same
That bong that's on the table
starts to call my name
I take a hit and zone out
again
I'll be paranoid and hungry by a
quarter to ten
Watching reruns on my TV
I'm laughing off my ass at
Three's Company
I don't know if I'm
understood
Buy hearing Jimmy Buffett never
sounded so good
Your memory's gone and so is your
life your life
Mota Boy
But losing out just never felt so
right
Your enemy's you and so is your
life your life
Mota Boy
But losing out might feel okay
all night
Mota!
I'm driving down to the
barrio
Going 15 miles an hour'cause I'm
already stoned
Give the guy a twenty and wait in
the car
He tosses me a baggie then he
runs real far
I take a hit but it smells like a
clove
Oh fuck I got a baggie of
oregano
This ritual is destroying me
But I guess it could be worse
It could be methedrine
Your memory's gone and so is your
life your life
Mota Boy
But losing out just never felt so
right
Your enemy's you and your couch
is your life your life
Mota Boy
But losing out might take
Losing out might take you all
night
Mota!
Your memory's gone and so is your
life your life
Mota Boy
But losing out just never felt so
right
Your enemy's you and so is your
life your life
Mota Boy
But losing out might feel okay
all night
Losing out might feel okay all
life

ME
& MY OLD LADY
Me and my old lady
Lay in bed all day
And when I say I love her
Well she rolls the other way
But really she don't mean it
Everything she says
Still if I believe in love
There's nothing wrong
There's nothing wrong with my
head
Me and my old lady
Sit and sip on wine
And when she says she loves
me
Will I say that love is blind
But really I don't mean it
Everything I say
Still if she believes in love
There's nothing wrong
There's nothing wrong with her
head
So what if we're making a scene
now
You know she don't give a
shit
When she's pawin' and grabbin' on
me now
You know I don't mind a bit
It's all good and we
Ain't gonna change now
The world is unaware
So if you want to go on and
stare
'Cause we don't care
We don't care
She ain't no ball and chain
x

Me and my old lady
Suck each other dry
And when in that position
I'm the luckiest man alive
Quenching our libidos
Passing time away
Now that I believe in love
There's nothing wrong
There's nothing wrong with my
head
So what if we're making a scene
now
You know she don't give a
shit
When she's pawin' and grabbin' on
me now
You know I don't mind a bit
It's all good and we
Ain't gonna change now
The world is unaware
So if you want to go on and
stare
'Cause we don't care
We don't care
She ain't no ball and chain

LEAVE
IT BEHIND
Rage burns can't push it aside
now
Can't forgive this grudge is
alive now
All the rage eats you up
inside
Can you leave it behind
Leave it behind
What a surprise
You're fucked with again yeah
It's a way of life you need to
get over
All the rage just eats you
alive
Can you leave it behind
Leave it behind
I don't know where it'll end
The sun has set
And I can't be friends
I don't know if I can forgive
The day is long
But you were so dead wrong
What a surprise
You're fucked with again yeah
It's a way of life you need to
get over
All the rage just eats you
alive
Can you leave it behind
Leave it behind
I don't know where it'll end
The sun has set
And I can't be friends
I don't know if I can forgive
The day is long
But you were so dead wrong

end
The sun has set
And I can't be friends
I don't know if I can forgive
The day is long
But you were so dead wrong

GONE
AWAY
Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal it's so unfair
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away
Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
But black roses and Hail
Mary's
Can't bring back what's taken
from me
I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away
I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away

I
CHOOSE
Look at me I'm fallin'
Off of a cliff now
I can still hear my mama yelling
"No No No"
But the words mean nothing
Can't catch up to me now
And the view is so beautiful
All the way down
When I was a little boy
Suckin' juice from a bottle
Believing my perceptions were oh
so real
But I don't know nothing
Still knowing nothing
Was just enough for me to know
the way I feel
Refrain:
This is life
What a fucked up thing we do
What a nightmare come true
Or a playground if we choose
And I choose
Look at me I'm swollen
Like a banana fish now
I'm never gonna make it out of my
hole
But I keep on laughing
Doesn't really matter
There's dozens of reasons for
explaining my soul
When I was a teenager
Suckin' booze with the Vatos
Discussing who was gonna live to
be 21
They said they wouldn't make
it
They didn't make it
We're all naked when the day is
said and done
Refrain
Don't know who made this all come
true
But now while you're here
You just gotta do what you gotta
do
Now if I wasn't such a weenie
Do you think you'd still love
me
Pretending I'm an airplane on the
living
Room floor
But like a lovely generator
You stand right by me
And if words were wisdom I'd be
talking
Even more
So I keep on falling
As I'm looking back above me
Watching as my mama just becomes
a little dot
Now I'm like DeNiro
I'm amarillo
And I'll never know when I hit
the ground

ALL
I WANT
Day after day your home
life's a wreck
The powers that be just
Breathe down your neck
You get no respect you get no
relief
You gotta speak up
And yell out your piece
Refrain:
So back off your rules
Back off your jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living
To stay alive
Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want to be
controlled
That's all I want
x
4
How many times is it gonna
take
Till someone around you hears
what you say
You've tried being cool you
feel like a lie
You've played by their rules
Now it's their turn to try
Refrain
I said it before
I'll say it again
If you could just listen
Then it might make sense

WAY
DOWN THE LINE
Refrain:
Nothing changes'cause it's all
the same
The world you get's the one you
give away
It all just happens again
Way down the line
There is a chain that's never
broken
You know the story it's sad but
true
An angry man gets drunk and beats
his kids
The same old way his drunken
father did
What comes around well it goes
around
Refrain
At 17 Shannon is pregnant
As young as her mom when she had
her
Her kid is never gonna have a
dad
The same old way that Shannon
never had
What comes around well it goes
around
Refrain
And all the things you learn when
you're a kid
You'll fuck up just like your
parents did
It all just happens again
Way down the line
And welfare moms have kids on
welfare
And fat parents they have fat
kids too
You know it's never gonna end
The same old cycle's gonna start
again
What comes around well it goes
around
Refrain
And all the things you learn when
you're a kid
You'll fuck up just like your
parents did
It all just happens again
Way down the line

DON'T
PICK IT UP
I saw a little kid
As he walked around
He picked a candy bar up
Off the ground
He chowed about a half
Then his face turned blue
Turned out that candy bar was
doggy-doo
Don't pick it up I say
Unless you can throw it away
Don't pick it up I say
You're gonna be bummed that you
went that way
You're out there makin' bacon
No scrutiny
You mess around too much
And you got VD
You know you never think
And you're sore today
You're gonna take it back to
California
Don't pick it up I say
Unless you can throw it away
Don't pick it up I say
You're gonna be bummed that you
went that way
My friend was kinda hurtin'
For a girl to try
He saw one that looked like
Pat
On Saturday Night Live
It had a pair of thingies
But a mustache too
Not clearly male nor female
So now what to do
Don't pick it up I say
Unless you can throw it away
Don't pick it up I say
You're gonna be bummed that you
went that way

AMAZED
Sometimes I think I'm gonna
drown
'Cause everyone around's so
hollow
I'm alone
Sometimes I think I'm going
down
But no one makes a sound
They follow
And I'm alone
Refrain:
Yeah if I make it I'd be
amazed
Just to find tomorrow
One more day and I'd be
amazed
Just to see it waiting
And if I make it I'm still
alone
No more hope for better days
But if I could change
Then I'd really be amazed
And when you know you can't
relate
To one more shiny face
Your heart breaks
No one cares
And when you know you can't go
on
'Cause everything is wrong
Your heart breaks
But no one's there
Refrain

CHANGE
THE WORLD
I see the way the salesmen
stare into the sun
I stood and watched them as they
fell off one by one
And everyone's so blind
They're not to help mankind
Reach into your bag of tricks and
pull another one
Refrain:
You don't want to change the
world
Like you say
You're in it for yourself
No one else
You're ready
Saving yourself
You're gonna change the world
You're ready
Saving yourself
You're gonna change the world
Now when the day is set they'll
line up all the same
And those that need the most will
never get or gain
The ones you call your
friends
Are failing you again
Reach into your bag of tricks and
make it go away
Refrain
And since you ain't what you
say
Then just go away
'Cause some don't lie
Some don't lie
Go on now they won't tell
Go on now and save yourself
Go on now they won't tell
Go on now and save yourself
Go on now they won't tell
Go on now and save yourself
Go on now they won't tell
Go on now and save yourself
Refrain
