Verse 1

Well I won’t be caught

living in a dead end job

While praying to my

government guns and god

Now it's us against them

We’re here to represent

And spit right in the

face of the establishment

And now I don't believe

(In having faith in nothing!)

Stand on my own

(Got no sympathy!)

Wasting the youth

(While being young and useless!)

Speak for yourself

(And don't pray for me!)

Chorus

Well Because we're doing fine

And we don't need to be told

That we're doing fine

Cause we won't give you control

And we don't need anything from you

And we won't be bought

and sold Just like you

Intro

Verse 1

Slow beat

I haven't been home for a while

I'm sure everything's the same

An only child to take the blame

Sorry, Mom, but I don't miss you

Father's no name you deserve

I'm just a kid with no ambitions

Wouldn't come home for the world

Refrain 1

Never know what

I've become

The king of all that's

said and done

The forgotten son

This city's buried

Wave goodbye to all

A shallow grave I

Last call for regret and defeat

To finish the bottle full of empty dreams

Punch-drunk headed straight out of line

Another excuse with no alibi

Hitchin on the road of decline

With no name streets and no vital signs

I pissed away the best of me and

No one can help me!

Chorus

Misery's best friend

Dead beat on a dead-end

A bag full of regrets

i'm chasing six feet

And now I'm running out of time

Verse 2

My hands are tied

And nailed to the cross

I'm looking for all the composure I lost

I pissed away the best of me and

No one can help me

6.) Ma Poubelle

Note: Sometimes the piano plays the chords in different octaves so

a G or D doesn't always have the same pitch throughout the song

even though its still the same basic chord.

Tu es ma mademoiselle

Tu es ma petite poubelle

Je chercherai des ordures pour toi

Je commencerai dedans mes pantalons

Dans votre oeil se truove une petite pleur

Mais je suis pas un autre Coeur

Tu sais tu es ma petite fleur

Avec une plotte qui est comme du beure

Tu es ma mademoiselle

Tu es ma petite poubelle *At the end here there actually

is

Playing these chords

Je chercherai des ordures pour toi as power chords

Je commencerai dedans mes pantalons

I saw a rough translation for this and its a really dirty song

but its funny as hell

From whose hand will we be fed

All the lies by the

lying liars who said

We'll be fine

It's OK

Hey look mom no head

Hung by his head beneath us

They're laying in their graves

Damnation free for all

If you stay

then I won't go

If you go I'll

always be there

I don't care

All I know

If you stay then

I won't go

If you go I'll

always be there

I'll be there

I don't care

I don't care

Cause always

I know
