Lyrics

1. SUPERSTAR

The sheets turn red wrapped around my face
Hide my broken dreams
Well I can't stand anyone
My fucked life is so much fun
While you're latch-key lovers in the room she waits
For her love to show
You're my best friend anywhere
I could tell you anything

Well there's no time for the lonely
When they call your name
And there's no time for a friend
Thinkin' 'bout you, you're thinkin' it too
Wherever you'll be, forget about me
Taking your fill, they're bringing you all
Thinkin' 'bout calling a friend
But that's gonna have to wait

That's what you are, you're a superstar

Hear them laughing behind my back
When they go away
I see rats infest in the food they bring
Rip your face out of magazines
You're America's heartbreak
You can ask anyone you know
It's American ambition
Your life is everyone's

Well there's no time for the lonely
When they call your name
And there's no time for a friend
Thinkin' 'bout you, you're thinkin' it too
Wherever you'll be, forget about me
Taking your fill, they're bringing you all
Thinkin' 'bout calling a friend
But that's gonna have to wait

That's what you are, you're a superstar

You're here today, you're gone tomorrow
You're here today, you're gone
Well I can't wait 'till tomorrow
Well I can't wait 'till tomorrow
Well I can't wait


2. WHITE GIRL

Don't want to be a slave
Don't want to be confused
Don't want to be a whore
Don't want to be like you

Can't you see you're strangling me
Don't you know you're strangling me
Can't you see you're strangling me
Can't you see

So come on down, it's the end of the world
You see me, I see right through you

So come on down, it's the end of the world
You see me, I see right through you

Poor little rich girl, poor little girl
Poor little rich girl
Sick of the world, sick of this place
And you know she loves me too

Don't want to be afraid
Don't want to be abused
Don't want to be a whore
Don't want to be like you

Can't you see you're strangling me
Don't you know you're strangling me
Can't you see you're strangling me
Can't you see

So come on down, it's the end of the world
You see me, I see right through you

So come on down, it's the end of the world
You see me, I see right through you

Poor little rich girl, poor little girl
Poor little rich girl
Sick of the world, sick of this place
And you know she loves me too

When it all comes falling down on you
When the shit falls down on you
When it all comes falling down on you
She loves me, she loves me, she loves me

Poor little rich girl, poor little girl
Poor little rich girl
Sick of the world, sick of this place
And you know she loves me too


3. DRINKS

Falling on your face
Watching people passing by
Feeling so all alone
Down on a Valentine's Day
You're bringing me down
Jack me off, baby disconnect me
Can't really complain
Drinks are always free for me

Let's order drinks all around
Let's drink to the assholes
Drink to the fools
Let's drink to you
Let's drink to the bastards
Drink to the scum
Let's drink to the motherfuckers
Let's drink to you, let's drink to you

One bottle down
Two to go and three to get reckless
Feeling so all alone
Down on a Valentine's Day
You're bringing me down
Jack me off, baby disconnect me
can't really complain
Drinks are always free for me

[Repeat Chorus]

Let's drink to the bastards, let's drink to you
Let's drink to the faggots, let's drink to you
Let's drink to the scumbags, let's drink to you
Let's drink to the motherfuckers

Now is the time and you're going away
Now is the time you're going away
Now is the time you're going away
Oh no, oh no

[Repeat Chorus]


4. TOO BEAUTIFUL

Born into a generation
Baby boomers masturbating
Killing everyone in sight
Close my eyes
Can't pretend this isn't happening
Beauty's just a time bomb

Color your hair and pierce your nose
Blacken your eyes, darken your soul
Is this our youth subculture

Welcome to the freakshow
Beauties always bought and sold
Acceptance equals complacency
Cover my eyes
Pretend this isn't happening
Beauty's just a time bomb

Color your hair and pierce your nose
Blacken your eyes, darken your soul
Is this our youth subculture

Beautiful me, pitiful you
You look like hell to me
Beauty to me is ugly to you
I feel like shit today

Beautiful me, pitiful you
You look like hell to me
Beauty to me is ugly to you
I feel like shit today

Down on the time
You're thinking you're beautiful

Down on the time
You're thinking you're beautiful

[Repeat Chorus]


5. PLEASE KILL ME

You're taking this all way too hard
Put the barrel to my head
And by Christmas I'll be dead

Take my life
I'm a hollow washed-out boy
Anyone today
I said take my life
I'm a hollow washed-out boy
Anyone

Somebody kill me
Put me out of my misery
Somebody kill me
Please kill me

Somebody kill me
Put me out of my misery
Somebody kill me
Please kill me

Set myself on fire on a rainy day
What you know is what you learn
Torch my world and watch it burn

You suck me dry
And I go limp from all your selfishness

You suck me dry
And I go limp from all your selfishness

Take my life
I'm a hollow washed-out boy
Anyone today
You can take my life
I'm a hollow washed-out boy
Anyone

Somebody kill me
Put me out of my misery
Somebody kill me
Please kill me

You're taking this all way too hard
Colt 45 is in your hand
Shoot myself at your command

Take my life
I'm a hollow washed-out boy
Anyone

Somebody kill me
Put me out of my misery
Somebody kill me
Please kill me


6. BRAIN VACATION

Talking out of turn,
Do you ever learn, do you ever bleed
Days go by and you wonder why
I wanna buy a gun
One bullet for my lover, one bullet for her friend
Close your mouth, you're catching flies
Do you like the taste

Pray for the day when you go away
Play dead for me

Passed out from an empty mind
That was lost or left behind
All the senseless things
Your mind can't find

Your mouth is working overtime
Your brain is on vacation

Your mouth is working overtime
Your brain is on vacation

Blah, blah, blah, but all I know
My head has got the spins
Days go by and you wonder why
I wanna buy a gun
One bullet for my lover, one bullet for her friend
Close your mouth, you're catching flies
Do you like the taste

Pray for the day when you go away
Play dead for me

Passed out from an empty mind
That was lost or left behind
All the senseless things
Your mind can't find

Your mouth is working overtime
Your brain is on vacation

Your mouth is working overtime
Your brain is on vacation

I hate your record collection
Smash your record collection
All your parasitic little friends
Come and go away, come and go away
Come and go away, come and go away

Your mouth is working overtime
Your brain is on vacation

Your mouth is working overtime
Your brain is on vacation


7. DEAD AT SEVEVTEEN

Summer's here, there's nowhere to go
I'm holding on some avenue
You'd better believe
That falling down is day to day fun

Where do you go, where you go
No one cares, no one cares
Where do you go
When nobody cares, nobody cares for you

You're dead at seventeen
My life has just begun
You're dead at seventeen
And I know I'm not the only one

Summer's here, there's nowhere to go
I'm holding on some avenue
You'd better believe
That falling down is day to day fun

Where do you go, where you go
No one cares, no one cares
Where do you go
When nobody cares, nobody cares for you

You're dead at seventeen
My life has just begun
You're dead at seventeen
And I know I'm not the only one


8. SEVEN TIME LOSER

Why do you get paid
You're a daytime disgrace
Playing the roles that they
Design for cunts with brains

Don't you want to come along
Get so high and feel so alone
Baby, just go away

Seven time, seven time loser
Seven time, seven time loser
Don't you want to come along
Get so high you feel so alone
Baby, gotta go away

Why die in shame
And you still play the game
Suffer thoughts that burn
Waiting for your turn

Don't you want to come along
Get so high you feel so alone
Baby, gotta go away

Seven time, seven time loser
Seven time, seven time loser
Don't you want to come along
Get so high you feel so alone
Baby, don't go away

Don't you want to come along
Get so high you feel so alone
Baby, gotta go away

You're a loser baby, seven time loser

You're a loser baby, seven time loser

Don't you want to come along
Get so high you feel so alone
Baby, gotta get away

Seven time loser,
Seven time loser,
Seven time...


9. NOT ALRIGHT

Pick up the pieces of your adolescent dreams
Take what they give you avoiding the truth at all cost
Someday someone will find you
Teach you what you want to be
You're killing me, well

You ain't got nothin' for me
I think I'm getting kinda sick of you
You see what you want to see
I've got a picture, a vision of you
Alright, alright

Well you take such pleasure dismissing the obvious
Counting stars in your eyes and you're acting surprised, It's unfair
Someday someone will find you
Be what they want you to be
You're killing me

You ain't got nothin' for me
I think I'm getting kinda sick of you
You see what you want to see
I've got a picture, a vision of you
Alright, alright

Smash it to pieces, pretend it's alright
Searching for better ways out

You ain't got nothin' for me
I think I'm getting kinda sick of you
You see what you want to see
I've got a picture, a vision of you
Alright, alright

Alright, Alright


10. 4 A. M.

Sleep avoids desperate and lonely
Afternoons, solitude is golden
Comforting fake emotions
Starve myself to feel accepted

Urine tastes like water
Flowers don't feel like spring
If I never left my bed
Would the world be a better place to live
You know it would

Unsatisfactory, unsatisfied
Unsatisfactory, unsatisfied

Search for words I never find
In supermarkets and check-out lines
Drugs sold at wholesale prices
Doesn't feel so bad to be alone

Impatience is my enemy
If I never left my bed
Would the world be a better place to live
You know it would

Unsatisfactory, unsatisfied
Unsatisfactory, I'm so unsatisfied

Unsatisfactory, unsatisfied


11. ARM CANDY

Plastic, nothing's real inside of you
Sickens, cheapens every thought of you

Tuck it in and suck it out
You're so obsessed, you're so obsessed
Between the sheets between the lies
So obsessed, you're so fucking obsessed

I know who you are, you'll find a way
Pretentious and so scarred, you'll find a way
I know who you are, I know who you are

Tragic, No idea who you are
Paralyzed, black and blues can't hide the scars

Tuck it in and suck it out
You're so obsessed, you're so obsessed
Tuck it in and suck it out
So obsessed, you're so fucking obsessed

[Repeat Chorus]

Always wanted to feel so needed
Always wanted to be alone
Always wanted to feel so needed
Bette Davis in a movie show

Yeah, yeah, alright
Yeah, yeah, alright
Yeeeaaah

[Repeat Chorus]


12. IDIOTS ON PARADE

Bought yourself a red nose
A stupid pair of shoes
You're so dumb and you know it
What you gonna do

Everybody laughs at you, spits in your face
Falling for your photograph
Step on up and take a look at the

Idiots on parade, we're the idiots
We're the idiots on parade, we're the idiots
Made you a star before you learned to crawl
We're the idiots on parade, we're the idiots on parade

Don't you wanna go now
What you going through
You're so old and you know it
Time's flashing by again

Everybody laughs at you, spits in your face
Falling for your photograph
Step on up and take a look at the

Idiots on parade, we're the idiots
We're the idiots on parade, we're the idiots
Made you a star before you learned to crawl
We're the idiots on parade, we're the idiots
On parade, on parade, on parade
Two idiots like me and you

Don't you wanna go now
What you gonna do
You're so dumb and you know it
What you gonna do

Everybody laughs at you, spits in your face
Falling for your photograph
Step on up and take a look at the

Idiots on parade, we're the idiots
We're the idiots on parade, we're the idiots
Made you a star before you learned to crawl
We're the idiots on parade, we're the idiots
On parade, on parade, on parade
Two idiots like me and you


13. I WISH YOUR WERE (D. E. A. D. )

You think this town is keeping you down
But I've been around the world
And I've seen a lot of jerks in this world, in this world
You take a drink just to keep it on down
But I've been around the world
And I've seen a lot of drunks in this world, in this world
I wish you were

You think this town is keeping you down
But I've been around the world
And I've seen a lot of jerks in this world, in this world
You take a drink just to keep it on down
But I've been around the world
And I've seen a lot of drunks in this world, in this world
I wish you were

She stands there like a broken record machine
Glued to the floor, staring helplessly
Sick of all the kids and the burnout scene
Sick of all the drugs that perish me

Why do I come here at all
Take a chance, take a fall
I don't want to come back anymore

I wish you were, I wish you were
I wish you were, I wish you were

Played for you when you still had it rough
Now you think my shoes aren't cool enough
Take it back, you don't know what to do
Simplified, you've got no point of view

Bullet-proof mentality
It's too late for therapy
Watch your life become a tragedy

You think this town is keeping you down
But I've been around the world
And I've seen a lot of jerks in this world, in this world
You take a drink just to keep it on down
But I've been around the world
And I've seen a lot of drunks in this world, in this world
I wish you were

She stands there like a broken record machine
Glued to the floor, staring helplessly
Sick of all the kids and the burnout scene
Sick of all the drugs that perish me

15. POSTCARDS FROM HELL

Woke up with the TV on
Teenage kicks are so much fun
Sunshine burns me out
So I disappear
Run for shelter, duck and hide
Everyone here comes suicide
Isn't it so much fun
When you don't fit in?
Never cashing in
Never going straight
Never going down on my knees
Every chance you take could be the last one
Until you fall down again
Postcards from hell
Sent to you I hope all's well
Believe in me so I can hate myself

I hate myself
Postcards from hell
Seattle sucked and I hate the rain
Vancouver didn't want to play my game
Raindrops falling down
And I grab a beer
Sentimentality
Dysfunctionals escape
Isn't it so much fun
When you don't fit in?

Woke up with the TV on
Teenage kicks are so much fun
Sunshine burns me out
So I disappear
Run for shelter, duck and hide
Everyone here comes suicide
Isn't it so much fun
When you don't fit in?
Never cashing in
Never going straight
Never going down on my knees
Every chance you take could be the last one
Until you fall down again
Postcards from hell
Sent to you I hope all's well
Believe in me so I can hate myself
