After all of these times that you've barely survived
With a needle in your arm and a thorn in your side
For someone with nothing at least it's still something, I guess
A solitary vein in a world that's full of pain

A reason to wake up or at least to rise
And stumble down th

I've got a needle in my vein but not the kind that needs exchanging
Though it's filling me with dread, lying in this plastic bed
And thinking how things weren't so cool to me, i gotta pay for electricity
I got a cell phone bill and a tank to fill, and a trust fund 401 to kill

(

He gave me his business card and said,
'Son, come and work for me, you've got a Poli Sci degree,
You're just the guy I need,' and I was so naïve
I didn't know that 'aerospace' meant 'dropping bombs from aeroplanes'
And fancy SUVs were just for killing enemies
But now I do, so

Locked in, black and blue links
Chains, cuffs, clubs, looking for some action
Looking for an excuse to make good use
Of a seven-figure safety net, underwritten hedged bet

Just a threat…it's just a threat

Locked up, preemptive raids
August 31st, 2008
And the pigs f

It was the last of the cartridges
We'd blow into when dust got in
And stack in rows of gray
And then pop 'em in and play

We'd stay up late nights with Tony Hawk
Super Smashin' and then Star Fox
No sleep for GoldenEyes
Sneakin' up on Russian spies…Slap!

Then we

Off a car or off a ledge, through the air into a hedge
Friday nights will never be the same, not that I'm complaining
Terrorizing the neighbor's lawn, bloody shirts but goggles on
Bodysurfing on a wave of green above the concrete
I don't know why anyone would say it's slightly im

A shopping spree where all is free
Grab all you can and then turn and flee
Stay on the move, avoid police
And meet back here for more next week

It's a guilt-free ideology
To salvage our economy
A scavenger type life for me
What once was yours is mine to keep

Oh what a fix, what a fix
Way back in '56
That was the start of it all
Southdale, u.s.a.'s first shopping mall

'95, kevin smith,
And the mallrat kids
They took over eden prairie
Just like the yuppies did

And to top it all off
We got the biggest in america<

With my head in my hands
A beat that's pounding to the rhythm in my chest
A year of apathy is falling down on me
I'm praying that my brain will stop and let me breathe
I'm hoping that my thoughts will let me be

I started out so guarded, and now I'm brokenhearted
At firs

Who said we had to bury the hatchet?
I'd rather dig it up and get right back at it
I'd rather lose the war than concede another battle,
Rather end up in my grave than on the wrong side of a gavel

Wheels to hear from the war
Two's got nothing on four
In the heat, the dusty concrete
Oli's dream is reality

A park, a new path tread
They laid down a surface to shred
And it's a message to spread:
These kids live for Skateistan

Spray Can Sam on his bike again
Headin' for the Greenway
Stencil in his hand

Four A.M., layin' down a plan
Paint on the wall
From visions in his head

And by the time the sunlight comes up
He'll be gone
No sticking around at all after he's done
He'll ride a

It's just my luck, I've had enough
I find a penny but it's not heads up
But I've got to reach, no I can't just leave
Though stealing from sidewalks is far from my dreams

And I'm too old to cry
Too young to die
And I've been sitting in limbo
For most of my life

Hey J Church, I wanna know
Why'd you have to go, why'd you say goodbye, Lance?
Why'd you have to leave this earth?
I'm all alone with my diet coke
Lying here listening to fascist radio

Sadie Glutz, yeah she's so mean
Vampire girl, she haunts my dreams
From Californi

If it's alright with you, I'm not so sure that I can do
This dog and pony show no more, I'd rather shut the door
We'll forfeit all our aches and embrace our past mistakes
We'll cut our losses to the bone and dump 'em in the lake

It'll be okay

I'm fairly certain that this

He calls it a collection
Just double-clicked ten thousand times
I call it fraudulation
Because he never risked a dime
He got some germs for free
And then the adolescents
And then he got 'em both from "some chick" named x-ray spex
From gbh to ssd, dri to mdc
He's g
