1. 88 [ EIGHTY EIGHT]

Wait, how long would you wait
Just for me to come
I know you make mistakes
yeah, but
I hope some day you have it all
cause I feel like a prisoner
trapped inside this broken world
while I'm playing the victim again
running in circles
to me it's all the same
and though nothing's gonna change, still
I hope someday you have it all

take this aggravation that I've thrown myself into
change this situation just cause I need something new

and still I feel like a prisoner
trapped inside this broken world
while I'm playing the victim again
running in circles
to me it's all the same
and though nothing's gonna change, still
I hope someday you have it all
I hope someday you have it all

if we could all depend
on what we know
if you could understand
I'm losing control
that I'm losing control
that I'm losing control
that I'm losing control

2. ALL SHE 'S GOT

This place reminds me of,
A time that's way too old.
These thoughts have gathered up the memories unfold.
But for now I don't see what's so wrong with pretending
It's true I thought you knew.

Believe her, it's all she's got to pass the time
Believe her, it's over now she's passed her prime.
Believe her, it's all she's got to keep things right
Believe her it's all she's got it's all she's got.
It's all she's got, it's all she's got.

These days keep getting worse I'm wasting all my time.
I thought I'd come in first, instead I fell behind.
I don't know, I don't know if I can keep this up to long.
It seems most every time my motives are all wrong
But for now I don't see what's so wrong with pretending
It's true I thought you knew.

Believe her, it's all she's got to pass the time
Believe her, it's over now she's passed her prime.
Believe her, it's all she's got to keep things right
Believe her it's all she's got it's all she's got.

It's times like this, but time's run out
It's times like this, but time's run out
It's times like this, but time's run out
It's times like this, I want to,

Believe her, it's all she's got to pass the time
Believe her, it's over now she's passed her prime.
Believe her, it's all she's got to keep things right
Believe her it's all she's got it's all she's got.

3. ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES


I need this to get me through
can't resist, don't want to
believe it, I know it's true
can't beat it, don't want to try

(a perfect hell)

there's more to me than you ever will know
down here where the rest of us fell
waste away, nothing left to show
while I'm in this perfect hell

obsession has begun
possessed by destruction
how did I get so low
believe me no one knows
sometimes I can't hold on
and no one can help me

(chorus)
now it's got a hold of me (hold of me)
I don't think I can make it through this
now it's got a hold of me (hold of me)
the less I do the more it makes no sense

I'm walking pollution who's drained by delusions
on the verge of destruction
I cave in to abduction
thin blood I'm bleeding
my pulse won't stop racing
just as my heart explodes

no chance that I could win
too hard to not give in
I just don't feel the same
cause I'm the one to blame
sometimes I can't hold on
and no one can help me

now it's got a hold of me (hold of me)
I don't think I can make it through this
now it's got a hold of me (hold of me)
the less I do the more it makes no sense

I need this to be myself
it feels like I need some help
it's too late to save myself
or it's just in my head

now it's got a hold of me (hold of me)
I don't think I can make it through this
now it's got a hold of me (hold of me)
the less I do the more it makes no sense

now it's got a hold of me (hold of me)
I don't think I can make it through this
now it's got a hold of me (hold of me)
the less I do the more it makes no sense

4. BEST OF ME

It's so hard to say that I'm sorry, I'll make everything alright
All these things that I've done now what have I become
And where'd I go wrong
I don't mean to hurt, just to put you first
I won't tell you lies (I'm sorry)
I will stand accused with my hand on my heart
I'm just trying to say

I'm sorry, it's all that I can say
You mean so much and I'd fix all that I've done
If I could start again
I'd throw it all away to the shadows of regrets
And you would have the best of me

I know that I can't take back all of the mistakes
But I will try
Although it's not easy, I know you believe me, 'cause I would not lie
Don't believe their lies, told through jealous eyes, they don't understand (I'm sorry)
I won't break your heart, I won't bring you down
But I will have to say

I'm sorry, it's all that I can say
You mean so much and I'd fix all that I've done
If I could start again
I'd throw it all away to the shadows of regrets
And you would have the best of me

I'm sorry, it's all that I can say
You mean so much and I'd fix all that I've done
If I could start again
I'd throw it all away to the shadows of regrets
And you would have the best of me

6. CONFUSION AND FRUSTRATION IN MODERN TIMES

Up in smoke, pop goes the culture
The tension blew it up
While choking from bleeding ulcer
We eventually threw it up
So what went wrong?
Where's the voice of reason?
It's long gone, we lost it long ago
Apathy plus-sized filled the void of motivation
I can hardly breathe at all

Confusion's all I see
Frustration surrounds me
Solution's bid farewell
Sediction? What the hell

I broke the mirror to the past
To find what I was looking for
The bleeding heart of broken glass
Is all I found and nothing more regrets
Short of no correction
Paid my debts to anxiety
The iron lung collapsed from the pressure and the swelling
I can hardly breathe at all

Confusion's all I see
Frustration surrounds me
Solution's bid farewell
Sediction? what the hell
Confusion's all I see
Frustration surrounds me
Solution, bid farewell
Sediction, what the hell?

Dead-end roads and warning signs
Destination nowhere in sight

Divided we stand
Together we fall
There isn't a God
That can save us all
So don't pray on your knees
Just, beg on your hands
There is no belief
In this promised land

Divided we stand together we fall
There isn't a God that can save us all
So don't pray on your knees
Just beg on your hands
There is no belief
In this promised land
There's no belief

Confusion's all I see
Frustration surrounds me
Solution's bid farewell
Sedation? what the hell
Confusion's all I see
Frustration surrounds me
Solution, bid farewell
Sedation, what the hell?

7. COUNT YOUR LAST BLESSINGS

Last call for regret and defeat
To finish the bottle full of empty dreams
Punch strong head that was straight out of line
Another excuse with no alibi
Hitching 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!

Misery's best friend
Dead be on dead-end
A bag full of regrets and I'm coming clean
self-elect, resident reject
A bad habit
Don't forget it you better
Count your last blessings
I fell of the wagon
I'm chasing six feet
And now I'm running out of time

My hands are tied
And nailed to the cross
I'm looking for all the composure I lost
I'm petulant with a bad attitude
A poster-child vision of wasted youth
I dodged the book and found the key
I can't say the same for dignity
I pissed away the best of me and
No one can help me

Misery's best friend
Dead be on dead-end
A bag full of regrets and I'm coming clean
self-elect, resident reject
A bad habit
Don't forget it you better
Count your last blessings
I fell of the wagon
Im chasing six feet
And now I'm running out of time

My own enemy
I don't hear you now
Perfect tragedy
God bless us denial
[x2]

Misery's best friend
Dead be on dead-end
A bag full of regrets and I'm coming clean
self-elect, resident reject
A bad habit
Don't forget it you better
Count your last blessings
I fell off the wagon
I'm chasing six feet
And now I'm running out of time

8. I AM NOT THE ONE

I walk into obsession
Makes the world go round
We're made up by the people we surround
So!
We live in times with shit we don't need
Well maybe, it's the price of envy

With these eyes I look out for me
But everyone fades away who don't see
Nothing's gonna change
Why!
We're going down in flames
So!
I'm not the one

Don't wait for me
Cause I won't just sit by
While you just bleed
Myself and others dry
Don't wait for me
To be there in the end
When you don't see
The truth you just pretend
Don't wait for me

What is the solution
We already know
There's no telling how far this could go
No!
You're near your time but you just don't see
Cause you're just
Part of this game

There's nothing you can do to save yourself
You leave your life in the hands of someone else
You'll never let it go
Why!
It's the only way you know
Know!
I'm not the one

Don't wait for me
Cause I won't just sit by
While you just bleed
Myself and others dry
Don't wait for me
To be there in the end
When you don't see
The truth you just pretend
Don't wait for me

When did we begin
To let ourselves give in
How'd it come to this
Miserable bliss

Just take the rest of
Just use the best of me
Just take the rest of
Just use the best of me

You take the rest of me
Just take the best of me
You take the rest of me
Just take the best

Don't wait for me
Cause I won't just sit by
While you just bleed
Myself and others dry
Don't wait for me
To be there in the end
When you don't see
The truth you just pretend
Don't wait for me

9. PAIN FOR PLEASURE


The seas have parted,
the endings started,
the sky has turned to black.
A killing spree through eternity,
the devil stabs you in the back,
It's midnight now you must escape somehow,
torture is his leisure,
don't try to hide he'll make you subside,
as he exchanges pain for pleasure,

[chorus]
Pain for pleasure, he's the hunter you're the game,
Pain for pleasure, Satan is his name!"
Look out

10. WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT


Nevertheless am I dressed for the occasion
It’s number 32 now here’s the situation
If the beat moves your feet then don’t change the station
Pack your bags cause we’re leaving on a permanent vacation
Well, I’m a disaster
A microphone master
Put on your tape and rock your ghetto blaster
It’s not about the money, cars, hotels, or resorts
About sweating all the bitches in the biker shorts
I’m Dave Brown Sound and you see me running late
Cause I’m always making time to make your girlie feel great
And I’m Bizzy D from way down town
I’m known to rock a mic like a king was a crown
When I’m on top I’m gonna borrow that bootie
Hustling deals like Mickey Macooty
When I wake up I like a pound of bacon
Start off the day with my arteries shaking

(Chorus)
Rock! It's what we're all about
It's what we live for
C'mon shout it out(x4)

Well I bring down the house in every city we play
Just by pickin' up the mic' in a usual way
We rock and talk with a bass that's farty
We could even tear it up at a grade school party
Well I can keep the beat but I can't break dance
It's hard to look cool in crazy pants
But I wear 'em anyway even when they look whack
It's my personal way to bring the 80's back
Gave up the life of servin' burger and fries
High cholesterol gettin' grease in my eyes
I was drinkin' underage I belong on stage
Hello rock 'n' roll goodbye minimum wage
I'm teachin' you a lesson in mic' control
Makin' rhymes with the letters in my cereal bowl
Lucky number seven every dice I roll
Sum 41 to the power as the poon patrol

Chorus & Guitar Solo

Well let's avoid confusion by makin' one thing clear
The rock we're bringin' is gonna instill fear
And the power we control should be revered
We sold our soul to Satan two times last year
Take a look to the point, to the point I'm makin'
We rock the oven when we're stone cold bakin'
And we get outta hand and bust up the room
JD is to blame for the Legion of Doom
'Cause I'm the B-I double Z-Y
You ain't better than me, I ain't your average guy
I like to watch girls shake with a kung fu grip(wah!)
Well the goon platoon is on the prankster tip
We beat down London, slayed LA
Got an APB on all the jams we play
So when you're on the stage cold grabbin' your cock
pledge allegiance to sum41 the new kings of rock

11. PIECES


I tried to be perfect,
But nothing was worth it,
I don’t believe it makes me real.
I thought it’d be easy,
But no one believes me,
I meant all the things I said.

If you believe it’s in my soul
I’d say all the words that I know
Just to see if it would show,
That I'm trying to let you know,
That I’m better off on my own.

This place is so empty,
My thoughts are so tempting,
I don’t know how it got so bad.
Sometimes it’s so crazy,
that nothing can save me,
But it’s the only thing that I have.

If you believe it's in my soul,
I’d say all the words that I know,
Just to see if it would show,
That I'm trying to let you know,
That I'm better off on my own.

On my own...

I tried to be perfect,
It just wasn't worth it,
Nothing could ever be so wrong.
It’s hard to believe me,
It never gets easy,
I guess I knew that all along.

If you believe it’s in my soul,
I’d say all the words that I know,
Just to see if it would show,
That I'm trying to let you know,
That I’m better off on my own.

12. UNDERCLASS HERO

1..2..3..4
Well I won’t be caught living in a dead end job
While praying to my government guns and gods
Now it's us against them
We’re here to represent
To spit right in the face of the establishment.

And now i dont believe (ain't got no faith in nothing)
Stand on my own (ain't got no sympathy)
Wasting the youth (while being young and useless)
Speak for yourself (and dont pray for me)

Well because we're doing fine
And we don't need to be told
That we're here doing fine
Cause we won't give you control
And we don't need anything from you
Cause we'll be just fine
And we won't be bought and sold
Just like you

(A call across the underclass)

Calling out loud with no respect
I’m not the one, just another reject
I’m the voice to offend, All those who pretend
Unsung against the grain I'm here to rise against

And now i'm desensitized ( I state my place in nowhere)
Burning the flag (of the degeneration)
Everyone see (the anthem of no future)
Down with the mass (causes we're not listening)

Well because we're doing fine
And we don't need to be told
That we're here doing fine
Cause we won't give you control
And we don't need anything from you
Cause we'll be just fine
And we won't be bought and sold
Just like you

May I have your attention please…
I pledge allegiance to the underclass as your hero at large.

1..2..3..4

We’re the saints of degeneration
We don’t owe anyone an explanation
Fuck elitists
We don’t need this
We're the elite of the just alright

Well because we're doing fine
And we don't need to be told
That we're here doing fine
Cause we won't give you control
And we don't need anything from you
Cause we'll be just fine
And we won't be bought and sold
Just like you
