1.
oh christ you shoulda seen us in the eighties, it was bad as we still try make believing it was the best time that we had fucking in the grossest places fighting when we had no chance called that racket we made, music and the violence we did, dance (chorus) you and me we were just young, dumb targets and free like all zoo animals are free then bought and sold out in an open market our rebellion had a price tag on the sleeve oh man, do you remember driving all night to L.A. 3rd band on a bill of 7 we were stoked to get to play opening for Wasted Youth and just before the Youth Brigade i know that someone bought us dinner and i think we mighta gotten paid (chorus) i fell in love a hundred times before the age of 25 wrote a hundred songs about the man got 12 of them to rhyme lived in vans and girlfriend’s basements and just tried to stay alive all while staying out of jail and still kissing my Mom goodbye (chorus) before we became spouses we crashed Dag and Dischord houses Oki Dogs with cats and mouses talked all night at Martin Sprouse’s to the soundtrack of our lives ah-men
2.
it begs the question “what’s the joke?” unworthy mention go for broke in tune with half wits primed for war one foot already out the door (chorus) i told my friends that i would stick with it not give up at the slightest sign of shit and be a better man because of it and when it’s done i vow to recommit we’ll never get a second chance let’s get involved and take a stance we need to make things that will stick and initiate plans make ‘em quick (chorus)
3.
i’d been driving for 3 hundred miles or more this time i only stopped at places where i knew someone i felt the weight of my depression hit the floor felt it smash away the hopefulness that i once felt before (chorus) call it courage or call it luck but i could barely, give a fuck lion, kitty, eagle, duck this time of year it always does me in once a gentle man who gave advice to me took me aside and told me stories, i could barely listen but he talked about the damage openly i guess i did a little better i ain’t awkward, socially (chorus) (break) (chorus twice)
4.
there’s something brewing in the basement some crazy man and his stupidity he’s making ballads with his broken heart he only wants some satisfaction he tells himself it’s what his mission is he’s working while the world is sleeping nobody thinks about him anymore nobody asks for his reaction (chorus) bless his heart, he always walks the line you best believe, he always walks the line he’s always looking at the greater good and prides himself on his integrity and no one ever wants to contradict the silly flaws in all his plans as he gets older, he keeps losing friends he hates depending on a single one he says it’s easy having less of them he’d rather go at it alone (chorus)
5.
stay and help destroy, the latest thing you love and brag to those you know, what you’ve been dreaming of
 i can’t believe you would, go out without a fight
 you boast about how good, you’re being every night (chorus) yeah i know it sure beats groveling for ways to pay our rent
 but i know that we’re still reeling over who’s the President
 who’s the President
? who’s the President? laugh, it’s funny now, back then it made us sick
 to picture where we live, dictated by a dick
 we know it won’t pan out, and things will seem less bad 
the sun will shine again, the world will feel less sad

 (chorus x2) 
(lead guitar)
 (chorus x2)
