Dookie Lyrics Burnout I declare I don't care no more
I'm burning up and out and growing BORED
In my smoked out BORING room
My hair is shagging in my eyes
Dragging my feet to hit the street tonight
To drive along these shit town lights I'm not growing up, I'm just burning out
And I stepped in line to walk amongst the DEAD Apathy has rained on me
Now I'm feeling like a soggy dream
So close to drowning but I DON'T MIND
I've lived in this mental cave
Throw my emotions in the grave
HELL, who needs them anyway I'm not growing up, I'm just burning out
And I stepped in line to walk amongst the DEAD [3 times] Having A Blast I'm taking all you down with me
Explosive duct taped to my spine
Nothing's gonna change my mind I won't listen to anyone's last words
There's nothind left for you to say
Soon you'll be dead anyway Well no one here, is getting out alive
This time I've lost my mind and I don't care
So close your eyes
And kiss yourself goodbye
And think about the times you spent and what they've meant
To me it's nothing [several times] I'm losing all my happiness
The happiness YOU pinned on my
Loneliness still comforts me
My anger DWELLS inside of me
I'm taking it all oujt on you and all the shit you put me through So no one here, is getting out alive
This time I've lost my mind and I don't care
So close your eyes
And kiss yourself goodbye
And think about the times you spent and what they've meant
To me it's nothing [several times] Do you ever think back to another time?
Did it bring you so down that you thought you lost your mind?
Do you ever want to lead a long trail of destruction and mow down
any BULLSHIT that confronts you?
Do you ever build up all the small things in your head
To make one problem that adds up to NOTHING To me it's nothing [several times] Chump I don't know you But, I think I HATE you
You're the reason for my misery Strange how you've become my biggest enemy
And I've never even seen your face Maybe it's just jealousy
Mixing up with a VIOLENT mind A circumstance that doesn't make much SENSE
Or maybe I'm just DUMB You're the cloud hangin out over my head
Hail comes crashing down welting my face
MAGIC MAN, EGOCENTRIC PLASTIC MAN
Yet you still got one over on me Maybe it's just jealousy
Mixing up with a VIOLENT mind
A circumstance that doesn't make much SENSE
Or maybe I'm just DUMB Longview Sit around and watch the tube but, nothing's on Change the channels for an hour or two
Widdle my thumbs just for a bit
I'm sick of all the same old shit
In a house with unlocked doors
And I'm fucking lazy Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going BLIND!!!!
And I smell like shit Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving
I sure as hell can't do it by myself
I'm feeling like a DOG IN HEAT
Barred indoors from the summer street
I locked the door to MY OWN CELL
And I lost the key Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn bored I'm going blind!!!
And I smell like shit I GOT NO MOTIVATION
WHERE IS MY MOTIVATION
NO TIME FOR MOTIVATION
SMOKING MY INSPIRATION Sit around and watch the phone but no one's calling
Call me pathetic call me WHAT YOU WILL
My mother says to get a job
But she don't like the one SHE's got
When masturbation's lost its fun
You're fucking breaking Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
I'm so damn BORED I'm going blind
And loneliness has to suffice
Bit my lip and close my eyes Slipping away to paradise
Some say, "Quit or I'll go BLIND"
But it's just a myth Welcome To Paradise Dear mother,
Can you hear me whining?
It's been three whole weeks
Since I left your home
This sudden fear has left me trembling
Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone   Pay attention to the cracked streets
And broken homes
Some call it the slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go Pay attention to the cracked streets
And broken homes
Some call it the slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise Dear mother, can you hear me laughing
It's been six whole months since
I have left your home
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason it's now
Feeling like my home
And I'm never gonna go Pay attention to the cracked streets
And broken homes
Some call it the slums
Some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise Pulling Teeth I'm all busted up
Broken bones & nasty cuts
ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN
But this time I can't get up
She comes to check on me
MAKING sure I'm on my knees
After all she's the one who put me in this state Is she ULTRA-VIOLENT?
Is she DISTURBED?
I better tell her that I LOVE her
Before she does it all over again
OH GOD, SHE'S KILLING ME!!! For now I'll lie around
HELL, that's all I can really do
She takes good care of me
Just keep saying my LOVE is TRUE Is she ULTRA-VIOLENT?
Is she DISTURBED?
I better tell her that I LOVE her
Before she does it all over again
OH GOD, SHE'S KILLING ME!!! Looking out my window for
Someone that's passing by
No one knows I'm LOCKED in here
All I do is cry For now I'll lie around
HELL, that's all I can really do
She takes good care of me
Just keep saying my LOVE is TRUE
Basket Case Do you have the time to listen to me whine
About NOTHING and everything all at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it Sometimes I give myself the CREEPS
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm CRACKING UP
Am I just PARANOID?
Am I just STONED I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
SHE says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down
I went to a whore
HE said my life's a bore
So quit my whining cause it's bringing HER down Sometimes I give myself the CREEPS
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm CRACKING UP
Am I just PARANOID? Grasping to CONTROL
So I BETTER hold on Sometimes I give myself the CREEPS
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm CRACKING UP
Am I just PARANOID?
Am I just STONED
She She screams in silence
A sullen riot penetrating through her mind
Waiting for a sign to smash the silence with the brick
of self control Are you locked up in a world that's been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use? Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you She's figured out all her doubts
Were someone else's point of view
Waking up this time to smash the silence with the brick
of self control Are you locked up in a world that's been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use? Scream at me until my ears bleed
I'm taking heed just for you            [2 times]
Sassafras Roots Roaming 'round your house
WASTING YOUR TIME
No obligation, just
WASTING YOUR TIME
So why are you alone?
WASTING YOUR TIME
When you could be with me
WASTING YOUR TIME I'm a WASTE like you
With nothing else to do
May I WASTE your time too? Warding off regrets
WASTING YOUR TIME
Smoking cigarettes
WASTING YOUR TIME
I'm just a PARASITE
WASTING YOUR TIME
APPLYING myself to
WASTING YOUR TIME So why are you alone?
WASTING YOUR TIME
When you could be with me
WASTING YOUR TIME I'm a WASTE like you
With nothing else to do May I WASTE your time too?
When I Come Around I heard you crying loud,
all the way across town
You've been searching for that someone,
and it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself
Don't get lonely now
Dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment
Sleazin' my back yard so don't get so uptight
you been thinking about ditching me No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around I heard it all before
So don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser
to try and slag me down because I know I'm right
So go do what you like
Make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your selfdoubt means nothing
was ever there You can't go forcing something if it's just
not right No time to search the world around
Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around                      [2 times]
When I come around                      [sev times]
Coming Clean Seventeen and strung out on confusion
Trapped inside a roll of disillusion
I found out what it takes to be a man
Mom and Dad will never understand Secrets collecting dust but never forget
SKELETONS come to LIFE in my closet I found out what it takes to be a man
Mom and Dad will never understand
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME Seventeen and COMING CLEAN for the first time
I finally figured out myself for the first time
I found out what it takes to be a man
Mom and Dad will never understand
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME
Emenius Sleepus I saw my friend the other day and I don't know
Exactly just what he became
It goes to show
It wasn't long ago
I was just like you
And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home How have I been, how have you been
It's been so long
What have you done with all your time
And what went wrong I knew you back when
And you ... you knew me
And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home Anybody ever say no?
Ever tell you that you weren't right?
Where did all the little kid go?
Did you lose it in a hateful fight?
And you know it's true It wasn't long ago
I was just like you
And now I think I'm sick and I wanna go home
In the End All brawn and no brains
And all those nice things
You FINALLY got what you want
Someone to look good with
AND light your cigarette
Is this what you really want? I figured out what you're all about
And I don't think I like what I see
SOOOOOOO ...
I HOPE I won't be there in the end
if you come around. How long will he last
Before he's a CREEP in the past
And you're alone once again?
Will you pop up AGAIN and be my
"SPECIAL FRIEND" 'till the end?
And when will that be? I figured out what you're all about
And I don't think I like what I see
SOOOOO ...
I HOPE I won't be there in the end
if you come around.
F.O.D. Something's on my mind
It's been for quite some time
This time I'm on to you
So where's the other face?
The face I heard before
Your head trip's boring me Let's nuke the bridge we torched
2,000 times before
This time we'll blast it all to hell
I've had this burning in my guts now
for so long
My belly's aching now to say Stuck down in a rut of dislogic and smut
A side of you well hid
When it's all said and done
it's real and it's been fun
But was it all REAL fun Let's nuke the bridge we torched
2,000 times before
This time we'll blast it all to hell
I've felt this burning in my guts now
for so long
My belly's aching now to say You're just.... a fuck,
I can't explain it 'cause I think you suck.
I'm taking pride
in telling you to fuck off and die. I've felt this burning in my guts now
for so long
My belly's aching now to sing
I'm taking pleasure in the doubts
I've passed to you
So listen up 'cause you might miss it.... You're just.... a fuck,
I can't explain it 'cause I think you suck.
I'm taking pride
in telling you to fuck off and die. Goood niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.....!
All By Myself
[long silence, then it´s a hidden track]

I was alone, I was all by myself
No one was looking, I was thinking of you
Oh yeah, did I mention I was all by myself
All by myself                [sev times] I went to your house, but no one was there
I went to your room
I was all by myself
You and me had
Such wonderful times
When I'm all by myself, all by myself......
