Mary never understood the power of her words
She would just go on and on no matter what she heard
Her raging abnormalities they caused her great distress
She had a mental breakdown holy shit she was a mess
So who are we to blame for this heinous crime
Well the only real victim was Mary’s mind
It was last call and everyone was gone
Mary stayed sitting, writing her song
We'll show it to the future we'll show it to the past
Show it the present I know they’ll have a blast
But now this letter of war had to be read
The old man looked down and this is what he said, he said
Everybody loves you
Everybody care
But when you turn your back all you get is hateful stares
Even if I’m wrong this earth is flat
All sense of dignity were lost in combat
November 25 1995
Was just another day
Except Mary wasn’t alive
They found her in the woods with paper in hand
It turns out good old Mary only had one demand
Read this paper loud read this paper slow
Until this ignorant nation decides to grow
She said it was her masterpiece but no one even cared
And that was the day that Mary's war was declared
We'll show it to the future we'll show it to the past
Show it the present I know they’ll have a blast
But now this letter of war had to be read
The old man looked down and this is what he said, he said
Everybody loves you
Everybody care
But when you turn your back all you get is hateful stares
Even if I’m wrong this earth is flat
All sense of dignity were lost in combat
We'll show it to the future we'll show it to the past
Show it the present I know they’ll have a blast
But now this letter of war had to be read
The old man looked down and this is what he said, he said
Everybody loves you
Everybody care
But when you turn your back all you get is hateful stares
Even if I’m wrong this earth is flat
All sense of dignity were lost in combat

City Trains

Standing on the corner while I’m waiting and waiting
And think about the trouble that my mind is creating
I talk and I talk and there’s nothing left to say
I'll take city trains to get away
They all say they say they love it
they all say they need it
Well I say fuck it
man I wish I could leave it
they’re dying inside while nothings going on
but they just keep acting like there’s nothing wrong
Well the sun is rising and we're all falling down
In this one trick pony cheapskate town
Every single second another friend is gone
While I’m stuck in my house wondering where I went wrong
Standing on the corner while I’m waiting and waiting
And think about the trouble that my mind is creating
I talk and I talk and there’s nothing left to say
I'll take city trains to get away
I’m sick and tired of all the whining
While my fucking trouble keeps multiplying
Everyone of them always talks about change
But no one ever tries no one gives it a shot
Well the sun is rising and were all falling down
In this one trick pony cheapskate town
Every single second another friend is gone
While I’m stuck in my house wondering where I went wrong
Standing on the corner while I’m waiting and waiting
And think about the trouble that my mind is creating
I talk and I talk and there’s nothing left to say
I'll take city trains to get away
I’m starting to think my time is gone
And these suburban skies aren’t meant for me
But where can you go? Man, you’re only sixteen
So I just sit think and remember my dreams
Well the sun is rising and were all falling down
In this one trick pony cheapskate town
Every single second another friend is gone
While I’m stuck in my house wondering where I went wrong
Standing on the corner while I’m waiting and waiting
And think about the trouble that my mind is creating
I talk and I talk and there’s nothing left to say
I'll take city trains to get away

Bright Side

Have low expectations and show no defeat
Living life to the stride of your own two feet
Having fun with what you do no matter how far you go
Whether it’s sitting on a couch or going to a show
Bad things are gonna happen you may fall off your feet
Moping and crying are like grinding down your teeth
So always…look on the bright side of life
Now we're all gonna trip we're all gonna stumble
All tread through shit we’ll all get in trouble
Bouncing back and fourth from life to life
Swallow your problems and live through your strife
This life can hit you hard oh man I know
Don’t let it get you down stand up and grow
Cause when the going gets tough, the tough get going
Well fuck that man keep on growing
Kicked in the balls punched in the face
Fighting against the human race
Living in a town full of hate
Trying to escape isn’t gonna work
Forget about your problems or getting hurt
Those will hold you back
So always…look on the bright side of life
Now we're all gonna trip we're all gonna stumble
All tread through shit we’ll all get in trouble
Bouncing back and fourth from life to life
Swallow your problems and live through your strife
This life can hit you hard oh man I know
Don’t let it get you down stand up and grow
Cause when the going gets tough, the tough get going
Well fuck that man keep on growing
