Out Of Place 02:28
I saw a thing I didn’t wanna see In a place I didn’t wanna be I didn’t think I could believe my eyes A flying saucer floating in the sky Now here it comes From outer space They’re taking me away I’m out of place I don’t wanna go with them alone Somebody save me, lemme go back home Don’t know the reason that they’ve chosen me I wish that they would just let me be Now here we go In outer space I’ll never see Another human face I’m out of place
2.
Nothing's ever really gone right for me I've been fucking things up since 73 Always wrecking everything and always running late Every time I leave the house it's like I'm tempting fate Never fit in, I'm always out of place With every single step I'm falling on my face I pick myself up and fall down again Catastrophic failures never seem to end Yeah I've always had really, really bad luck, But this doesn't suck Everything's ok Things are gonna go my way I finally turned around my luck This doesn't suck I used to mope around thinking everything's a big mistake But now that I'm with you I'm thinking everything will be just great This doesn't suck
3.
Look at all this mess- I gotta clean it up Always do my best- but still I fuck it up Don’t have time to rest- I gotta pick it up No time to be depressed- I’m fucking choking up Hiding in my head, I don’t wanna fuck with anything Thought that I was dead but it was just a pleasant dream Staying home in bed, I don’t wanna leave the house today Cause I can’t help but thinking that the world is cold and mean I can’t get my shit together I gotta screw my head on straight I try, but still it seems I’ll never Do any better than a day late and a dollar short This feeling is the pits- I can’t get in the groove Brain is having fits- nothing but attitude always feel like shit- I never wanna move Don’t wanna deal with it- another shitty mood Hiding in my head, I don’t wanna fuck with anything Thought that I was dead but it was just a pleasant dream Staying home in bed, I don’t wanna leave the house today Cause I can’t help but thinking that the world is cold and mean I can’t get my shit together I gotta screw my head on straight I try, but still it seems I’ll never Do any better than a day late and a dollar short

ADHD 01:18
I wanna see I wanna be I wanna do Everything there is to do ADHD ADHD ADHD I wanna make I wanna take I got the shakes I don’t wanna take a break ADHD ADHD ADHD I don’t wanna lose my focus, I don’t wanna be confused I don’t wanna get distracted, I don’t wanna read the news I just wanna play guitar, but now I wanna play my drums Distraction and confusion, always make me feel so dumb ADHD ADHD ADHD ADHD ADHD ADHD ADHD ADHD

Gojira 02:21
Hey I didn’t think it could end up this way Fires burning everywhere, buildings turned to rubble, I don’t know if we’ll survive the day Hey I don’t think this place is very safe Power lines are down, all the cars are upside-down, You know it’s more than my brain can take I was sitting in my living room When out of the sea came a walking doom Atomic breath is blasting everywhere Twenty stories high with cold, dead eyes And lighting arcing from the spikes along his spine Don’t cry for help ‘cause he don’t care Godzilla’s got us in his stare Hey You know we’ve only got ourselves to blame Pollution and destruction and the wars that we wage, we treat this planet like it’s just a game Hey He’s here to show the error of our ways He’s gonna cure the planet of this virus called man, yeah, our extinction finally has a name There goes another bus, the whole city’s crushed He’s here to erase all of us And he’ll only leave fallout in his wake Now our last chance is spent, we should’ve taken better care of the environment It’s all our fault that he’s awake Godzilla is our own mistake Now he’s here to punish us, he’s gonna make us pay Dealing pure destruction, leaving nothing in his wake Could’ve made a difference, yeah we should’ve changed our ways Now it’s much too late, he’s gonna wipe us all out today Godzilla Godzilla Godzilla Godzilla Godzilla

Donnie 02:19
Donnie never listened, to anything he ever heard And Donnie never learned to spell, a single fucking word But Donnie’s got a pile of cash Given from his Nazi father’s stash So Donnie doesn’t give a fuck about who he hurts Donnie likes mail-order brides, and Russian piss Donnie likes grabbing pussy, and a rapey kiss But Donnie’s down for treason, too He’ll burn it all just to say ‘fuck you’ ‘Cause Donnie doesn’t give a fuck about any of this Shut the fuck up, Donnie Shut the fuck up, Donnie Shut the fuck up, Donnie You’re out of your element Come on, Donnie, you can do it Eat a hundred Big Macs, snort a thousand Adderall Drown yourself in Diet Coke, Eat ketchup steaks until you choke Yeah, it really would be better for us all For us all Shut the fuck up, Donnie Shut the fuck up, Donnie Shut the fuck up, Donnie You’re out of your element Shut the fuck up, Donnie Shut the fuck up, Donnie Shut the fuck up, Donnie You’re out of your element You’re out of your element You’re out of your element You’re out of your element You’re out of your element

My Dudes 01:22
They’re rude They’re crude They’re goofy, too Sometimes they’ve got bad attitudes But that’s ok, ‘cause I do too It’s true They’re crass, Low class, But they’ve got panache And they never let me come in last They know that I’ve got their backs, too My dudes My dudes My dudes My dudes I’m never good at saying this So I put it in this tune A thank you and acknowledgement That without them I’d be screwed My dudes My dudes My dudes My dudes My dudes

Saturday 02:12
Every Saturday morning, I jumped out of bed and ran to my TV and the adventures waiting there for me I saved the day with GI Joe, but now it’s Transformers time, so out I roll Only taking breaks to refill my cereal bowl And the Smurfs always ran from Gargamel, And his cat, Azrael, always gave ‘em hell But they always managed to escape in the nick of time The Yamato unleashed its Wave Motion Gun, And Speed Racer taught me going fast was fun G-Force flew around fighting interstellar crime Saturday, it’s Saturday I don’t wanna go outside Too many shows I gotta see Saturday, yeah, Saturday The best time to be alive All my friends are there on my TV Every Saturday Every Saturday He-Man and Skeletor just couldn’t get along Tiamat just wants to burn it all Thundarr had a flaming sword, the Chipmunks sang a song The Superfriends all hung out in their Hall Every Saturday Saturday, it’s Saturday I don’t wanna go outside Too many shows I gotta see Saturday, yeah, Saturday The best time to be alive All my friends are there on my TV Every Saturday Every Saturday Every Saturday Every Saturday

I never wanna get up and come in ‘Cause I know that it means I’m gonna see you again I get tired at the mention of you Just from thinking of all the shit you were supposed to do I’m sick of trying to cover both our roles Yeah, there’s no “I” in “team” but there’s an A-hole There’s no “I” in “team”, but there’s an A-hole There’s no “I” in “team”, but there’s an A-hole There’s no “I” in “team”, but there’s an A-hole And I don’t wanna fuckin’ do it again I just wanna take the afternoon off But I can’t because you’re at it again with a fuckin’ cough I don’t know why you ever make the drive If you’re gonna walk in to pretend you’re barely half alive The laziness is wearing on my soul Yeah, there’s no “I” in “team” but there’s an A-hole There’s no “I” in “team”, but there’s an A-hole There’s no “I” in “team”, but there’s an A-hole There’s no “I” in “team”, but there’s an A-hole And I don’t wanna fuckin’ do it again Feel like an army of one In a battle I can’t win This shit has stopped being fun ‘Cause it happens again and again and again again again There’s no “I” in “team”, but there’s an A-hole There’s no “I” in “team”, but there’s an A-hole There’s no “I” in “team”, but there’s an A-hole And I don’t wanna fuckin’ do it again
13.
He came From a planet that bore his name His father was the king but it didn’t mean a thing, Frieza wiped them out, just the same Raised as a weapon, a destroyer of worlds, but he never forgot the past And as the years went by under Frieza’s thumb, he swore someday he’d get revenge at last He’s the prince, the prince of them all Saiyan pride keeps him driven to be the best, no matter how many times he falls He’s the prince, the prince of them all Yeah, Vegeta’s gonna overcome all the odds, and every battle sees his strength evolve And someday he’ll be the strongest of all From birth He was destined to end up on Earth Where he found Kakarot, though his name was forgot, became a friend and helped him find his worth Resented all emotion, but he finally gave in when Bulma forced him to let down his guard Now if you ever lay a finger on her pretty blue head, he’s gonna crush you even if you’re a god He’s the prince, the prince of them all Saiyan pride keeps him driven to be the best, no matter how many times he falls He’s the prince, the prince of them all Yeah, Vegeta’s gonna overcome all the odds, and every battle sees his strength evolve And someday he’ll be the strongest of all He’ll be the strongest of all He’ll be the strongest of all He’ll be the strongest of all He’ll be the strongest of all
