I am not your muse though it's nice to lose and it's comforting to look at the ground and be small like a mouse I am not your girl though it's nice to think if we had another drink maybe I would be I don't want to know the stories well over take the hint or another unlit cigarette Sitting on the fence again (I feel stupid) Clear your mind talk with your friends (words are stupid) Boy I got more in my heart then I do in my brain though Getting out of beds the same (drinking liquid) a slow and painful get away Oh boy it's a mistake that I make every morning (I don't need it) everything we built I guess it's just dust flames in my brain and pictures of us I am not a toy though it's nice to play and it's comforting to waste the day You are not my boy though it's nice to lie and run around the desert kicking sand in your eye I don't want to know the stories well over take the hint or another unlit cigarette Sitting on the fence again (I feel stupid) Clear your mind talk with your friends (words are stupid) Boy I got more in my heart then I do in my brain though Getting out of beds the same (drinking liquid) a slow and painful getaway Oh boy it's a mistake that I make every morning (I don't need it) everything we built I guess it's just dust flames in my brain and pictures of us I want you to know I'm not your muse but It's nice to lose It's fine to lose

I tell myself "Don't contribute to the noise" But all I hear is other boys and I can't help but think it's time to drown them out with some girls who can speak and think for themselves I tell myself to be proud of the world that I live in but the environment's destroyed with every bar code that they're printing and blood is spilling on my neighbor's doorstep and you stand behind your flag and endorse it? I tell myself to be confident in everything that I do but every billboard is telling me that I need to get something new and that my skin isn't worthy of a second look until I pay for a body and learn how to cook I tell myself to be gracious and to be kind but baby I think I'm losing my mind and I can't help but hope I'll die before I get old cause I'm a loner whose sadness takes the gold Whose alone and whose sadness takes the gold A rush of blood to my brain baby I think I'm going insane Just close your eyes We're gonna die Baby, It's alright.

Eatin' Thai food, I'm outta my mind You're wearing a fez, you're acting so nice My walk to the bathroom speed up and slowed down The walls were closing in so I came back out and drew on your eyes, you roll a ciggerette How fear and loathing can ones life get? We hang in the carpark, you find a little boys shoe you toss it to the side, what more could you do? We listen to Sonic Youth our own daydream nation Giggles by the cannel, lifes a strange sensation I'm falling in deep but you keep me sane I love you boys but I forgot your names.. I think its something like (I think its something like) Joey or James or Dean? (Joey or James or Dean?) Don't be offended cause (Don't be offended cause) I don't know what I'm sayin We walk through dirt alleyways to our own paradise The houses we pass seem so warm, quiet and nice We find the sun setting on Venice beach and we think we must of died and woke up in a rock stars dream There's sand in my hair! There's sand in my tobacco! I don't trust the ground but you don't think I'm a weirdo I tell you 'bout my home across the foreign seas and I pray for my friends and my family We pick up your bikes and walk them past the water and a tree that's been drapping over it forever We run to your room and I get on the bass and you get on the drums and you sing about space I think it's something like (I think it's something like) Mars or Jupiter? (Mars or Jupiter?) Don't be offended cause (Don't be offended cause) I'm just getting stupider We sit by the fire and look at the moon and talk about how were gonna leave this place soon We fill our mouths with sugar and drive to downtown and check out a band thats visiting Now i'm drinking beer and feeling so nice and dancing with your hand interlaced with mine Who would want this night to end? But its gotta Cause were adults now were no longer just sons and daughters I think its something like (I think its something like) Kissing everyones ass? (Kissing everyones ass?) Don't be offended cause (Don't be offended cause) I've lost all my class I think its something like (I think its something like) Geting up early? (Getting up early?) Don't be offended cause (Don't be offended cause) Nothing matters to me

It's enough to want to run from everything you've ever done but now I'm gonna spew Is this what you do to get to heaven? working at at 7/11 and getting home in time for the 5'oclock news And when the laughter is all done the alcohol sits on your tounge like a bitter reminder of your emptiness Remember when you brought that sweater? You thought your life would get so much better but it only kept you warm for that one long winter CHORUS: I'm worried for my children When they take their first breath They'll ask me what have I done Then they will have to do the rest The earth warms and the market crashes you are but some sprinkled ashes what will we do when the cash is out? Who are you working for? The man at the top or the bottem floor? I guess we just don't know anymore Millions at the thumb of one Kill the daughter, praise the son Is this what it feels like to be 21? Guess I should finish my degree find a man who's good to me Isn't that what it's like to be 30? CHORUS When I'm lying in the ground with all my family around I hope that I can leave the world better than it was
