Punk Lyrics
“I think you never want to limit yourself to one style of anything. Why put those limitations on yourself?"

Living in Disgrace
Have you been watching the local news of late?
Have you seen the tears rolling down the children's faces?
Have you heard about the hunger abroad?
Probably not because we're a human disease,
Pick up the remote, turn the channel to something more pleasing.
Did you look at the front page of the paper today?
Did you read about the homeless man passing away?
Did you think that he was better of dead?
Probably not because we're a human disease,
Flip to the back where the funnies are, and find something more pleasing.
Living in disgrace,
We're nothing but human waste,
Here on this planet living lives of shame,
Ignorant of our current state,
We're living in Disgrace!
Have you walked by a beggar on the street corner block?
Did you stop to talk about their pain and misery?
Have you ever dug into your pockets for spare change?
Probably not because we're a human disease,
Keep walking by to a coffee shop for something less pleasing.
Have you been watching the local news of late?
Did you look at the front page of the paper today?
Have you walked by someone down n out on the street corner block?
Probably not because we're a human disease,
Because we're self involved without a thought for anything less pleasing.
Living in disgrace,
We're nothing but human waste,
Here on this planet living lives of shame,
Ignorant of our current state,
We're living in Disgrace!
State of the Human Race
I can't take it any more, oh oh oh
Want to bust out through that door, oh oh oh
Feeling like I'm about to have a heart attack, oh yeah
Like any of it matters anymore, oh oh oh
Because all I hear is yadda yadda, yack yack, ooooooh yeah.
Look at this world it's torn, oh oh oh
With strife and too many wars, oh oh oh
Feeling like I'm going to have a heart attack, oh yeah
There's always another hook, oh oh oh
Because all I see is selling Coca-cola, super model, ooooooh yeah.
Take a look at this state of the human race,
Love's just a part of our former state,
Not something we can easily erase,
Fucking sick of this lack of humanity, oh yeah, oh yeah!
I want to cover my face, oh oh oh
humanity's fallen from grace, oh oh oh
Feeling like I'm about to have a heart attack, oh yeah
I'm really feeling displaced, oh oh oh
Because all I taste is bland paste, and human waste, ooooooh yeah.
Take a look at the banks, oh oh oh
And all the things that they take, oh oh oh
Feeling like I'm going to have a heart attack, oh yeah
Bribing with their money so fake, oh oh oh
Because all I smell is bull shit inflation, no resuscitation, ooooooh yeah
Take a look at this state of the human race,
Love's just a part of our former state,
Not something we can prettily erase,
Fucking sick of the lack of humanity, oh yeah, oh yeah!

Fuck You
Hey now let me get this monkey off my chest,
Don't tell me who to be or how to act!
Who are you to tell me how to feel?
How dare you give your garbage two cents, you're no big deal.
To me who made you a fucking authority?
I'm going to do and say what I fucking feel,
To hell with everyone's bullshit frowns!
I'm going to be fucking me,
I don't need your approval, don't try to bring me fucking down!
I don't need anymore negativity!
Everyone can fuck off and just let me be!
Open Our Eyes
Fighting abroad,
Yeah fighting abroad!
It's not your countries freedom you're fighting for!
Cover your face,
Yeah cover your face!
Send others sons instead of yours off fighting wars!
Woah yeah, woah yeah, oh oh,
Oh oh, oh oh, woah yeah,
Woah yeah, woah yeah, oh oh,
Being ignored.
Yeah being ignored!
It's not the bright future you're looking for!

Credit cards and debt is what you're now working for!
Woah yeah, woah yeah, oh oh,
Oh oh, oh oh, woah yeah,
Woah yeah, woah yeah, oh oh,
Shame on our race,
Yeah shame on our race!
For leaving this place in some kind of mess!

Yeah we can't afford!
Too be neglecting our planet any more!
Woah yeah, woah yeah, oh oh,
Oh oh, oh oh, woah yeah,
Woah yeah, woah yeah, oh oh,
Losing My State of Mind
Think I'll lose my mind if things don't go my way,
Think I'll lose my mind if this world won't change.
Because we've lost our minds over the course of time!
I'm going to lose my mind from the lack of charity,
I'm going to lose my mind from rampant poverty,
Because we lost our sense of brotherly love!
Losing my state of mind,
Losing my state of mind,
Because we lost our generosity,
Yeah we're losing our sanity,
It's why I've been losing my state of mind!
I know I'm losing my mind at the prices we now pay,
I know I'm losing my mind at our future turning gray,
Because we have lost our moral ways!
I've lost my mind at the lies our governments have to say,
I've lost my mind at the power that we gave them,
Because we lost our minds in a social state!
Losing my state of mind,
Losing my state of mind,
Because we lost our generosity,
Yeah we're losing our sanity,
It's why I've been losing my state of mind!
Think I'll lose my mind if we don't start relearning sympathy,
I'm going to lose my mind from the lack of understanding,
I know I;m losing my mind at the absent chivalry,
I've lost my mind at our loss of magnanimity,
Because I've lost all faith in the human race!
At My Arcade
Walking down through the old neighborhood block,
Heading down the streets wind blowing at my red Mohawk,
People staring, I'm not caring and those people can go ahead and kiss my ass,
'Cause I'm on a mission, there's no end.
Put my hands out pushing through widen double doors,
Classic Rock blaring out over that old radio,
With the bright lights flashing, coins clanking to no end,
Got a pocket full of quarters to spend.
Sounds of button's clicking,
Yeah no recourse,
You're on a mission,
Yeah another high score!
Picking out my current favorite games to play,
Wanting to eagerly push all those assholes out of my way,
People bitching, they're all twitching at their turns to play,
But I'm not moving because I'm in position to break some records today.
The buttons flicking as I'm playing "Circus" pinball,
Watching the paddles flapping at the small lead ball's,
Trying to make sure I win another free play,
People watching, they're applauding as they wait their turns to pay.
I'm on a mission,
Yeah in my arcade!
We're on a mission,
Yeah down at our arcade!
Hey my buddy slide on over there and quickly let me in,
I need to feel the joy stick in my hand and I'm ready to win,
Purple and green buttons sticking down, cracks on the screen spidering around,
But I'm a gaming master so it doesn't really matter too me in the end.
Multiple combinations with the stick, you're double tapping the buttons really quick,
Hope to end your opponent and try to humiliate him,
A flawless victor achieved and yet another sucker person to defeat,
So let them step up and place their hard worked for money in.
Sounds of button's clicking,
Yeah no recourse,
Yeah in my arcade!
You're on a mission,
Another high score!
Yeah down at our arcade!
I'm on a mission,
Yeah in my arcade!
We're on a mission,
Yeah down at our arcade!
My Baby Dances
I held her in my arms tight,
As we danced the nights away,
Lost in her eyes,
And hypnotized by the way her hips sway.
Oh how I loved to steal kisses from her,
How I love how her her lips tastes.
Oh how she makes my heart pound and race
Our eyes locked in an eternal brace,
yeah can't control these crazy feelings
She's got me in some comatose state,
My baby sure knows how to move,
Yeah she sure know how to dance.
Dancing to the DJ's beat
The way she moves in the clubs,
And the way she owns that floor.
Every guys eyes are on her,
Wish for her to shake some more,
My baby knows that they want her.
Naughty girl displayed on her shirt,
As she flips her hair up into the air,
Shaking her head from side to side
She never has a care,
Moving her ass in tight Topshop Moto jeans,
She's a damn hot sight to see.
When she's done having her fun,
She waltzes off that dance floor,
She knows the guys want her coming
Back out for more,
But she only has those eyes for me
All the other guys she simply ignores,
Dejected they won't score.
Dancing to the DJ's beat
The way she moves in the clubs,
And the way she owns that floor.
Every guys eyes are on her,
wish for her to shake some more,
Yeah my baby knows that they want her.
She pulls me by my hands
dragging me up to the dance floor,
Her body pressed up tightly to me,
As she whispers sweet nothings
Into my ear,
She's got me in some comatose state,
My baby sure knows how to move,
Yeah she sure know how to dance.
Why So Blind?
You said you loved me
yeah now that was a lie,
dug your way in,
how could I be so blind?
Said the things I wanted to hear
something didn't seem as it appeared,
and now I question myself,
how did I let this come about?
I'm glad we're over now,
'cause now I can start to heal,
yeah I'm glad it ended now,
'cause we can both move on and deal,
we can both forget how this felt.
You said I was the only one,
many more lies still to come,
yeah oh it's so clean now,
yet I couldn't see it somehow.
Slipping out of this skin
discovering where to begin,
stop taking the punches
repeatedly being thrown my way.
I'm glad we're over now,
'cause now I can start to heal,
yeah I'm glad it ended now,
'cause we can both move on and deal,
we can both forget how this felt.
