1. ALL-RIGHT (OH, YEAH)

Well, all-right
Oh yeah
All-right
Oh yeah
All-right
All-right, oh yeah (x4)
Oh, here we go, I'm back again
Act surprised when I come in
It's only me, it's only stupid me
You could never figure out
What was all the fuss about
I know it's me, it's only stupid me
It's only stupid me
All-right
Oh yeah
All-right
Oh yeah
All-right, oh yeah (x4)
Oh, sickle-cell anemia
Carpal tunnel and bulimia
Don't get sick, it's only stupid me
You think you got the real deal
Damaged goods are such a steal
It serves you right, it's only stupid me
It's only stupid me
All-right
All-right, oh yeah (x13)
All-right
I see you coming 'round again
Pushed aside and muscle in
When everything is said and done it's me
It's only stupid me
All-right, oh yeah (x4)
All-right


2. "CHA!" SAID THE KITTY

Sucking like a crack hack
Feeling like an 8-track
Out of whack
All the times a clucking no
We suck it in and suck it
I don't want to live with that
And you don't want to take it back
And I don't want to be a rat
And you don't want a kitty cat
Reaching for the phone ring
Settle for the chump change
Settle down
Make it like a Godsend
Feeling like a has-been
Remember when
All the times a clucking no
We suck it in and suck it
All the times a clucking no
We suck it in and suck it
I don't want to live with that
And you don't want to take it back
And I don't want to be a rat
And you don't want a kitty cat
I don't want to live with that
And you don't want to take it back
And I don't want to be a rat
And you don't want
Don't want
Don't want
I don't want to live with that
And you don't want to take it back
And I don't want to be a rat
And you don't want a kitty cat
I don't want to live with that
And you don't want to take it back
And I don't want to be a rat
And you don't want a kitty cat
I don't want to live with that
And you don't want to take it back
And I don't want to be a rat
And you don't want a kitty cat
I don't want to live with that (x3)
And you don't want a kitty cat
You don't want a kitty cat (x3)


3. LUCKY

Pack up the cats and move to the city
Leave the checks and the balance behind
Moving back to hell, in the city
I'll move with nothing left to prove to you
It's such a lucky time
Nothing left to prove


4. HIT THE SKIDS OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE ROCK

Say what you want to say to me
I don't know who you know
But that'll change eventually
I wanna know who you know
Wanna see what you say and have a field day today
Don't need a reason
Wanna go where you go
Wanna see what you say and have a field day today
I wanna go
I'm all alone
I'm all alone
Once you've been for a skid
I'm all alone
I'm all alone
Doing everything you did
No one cares and no one calls
But the party in the bathroom stall
Everyone is telling jokes that I don't get at all
I'm all alone (x3)
Hey, whatcha wanna pay for me?
I'm in love with rock 'n roll
But that'll change eventually
I wanna know who you know
Wanna see what you say and have a field day today
Don't need a reason
Wanna go where you go
Wanna see what you say and have a field day today
I wanna go
I'm all alone
I'm all alone
Once you've been for a skid
I'm all alone
Doing everything you did
No one cares and no one calls
But the party in the bathroom stall
No one's gonna call a number written on the wall
I'm all alone (x4)
No one cares and no one calls
But the party in the bathroom stall
No one's gonna call a number written on the wall
I'm all alone (x8)


5. 500,000 SCOVILLES

I'm living well (x3)
I'm working out, I'm eating right
I'm living well
I'm working out, I'm eating right
I'm living well (x5)

What Can I Tell You? (4:52)

Whatever you want
Whatever turns you on
Whatever you want
To fix whatever's wrong
I wanna go to where the parties are
Where all my friends are tending bar
Oh yeah
Whatever turns you on
What can I say that you can't say better?
What can I tell you?
Whatever you want
Whatever turns you on
Whatever you want
Coming right along
Shaking hands and all things lame
Kissin' ass and taking names
Oh yeah
Whatever turns you on
I know a thing about a thing or two
But what can I tell you?
A thing or two about a thing or two
But what can I tell you?
Easily fooled and everything is cool
What can I tell you?
Caught between now and never
What can I tell you?
What can I say that you can't say better?
What can I tell you? (x3)
What can I
What can I tell you? (x6)


6. WHAT CAN I TELL YOU

Whatever you want
Whatever turns you on
Whatever you want
To fix whatever's wrong
I wanna go to where the parties are
Where all my friends are tending bar
Oh yeah
Whatever turns you on
What can i say that you can't say better?
What can i tell you?
Whatever you want
Whatever turns you on
Whatever you want
Coming right along
Shaking hands and all things lame
Kissin ass and taking names
Oh yeah
Whatever turns you on
I know a thing about a thing or two
But what can i tell you?
A thing or two about a thing or two
But what can i tell you?
Easily fooled and everything's cool
What can i tell you?
Caught between now and never
What can i tell you?
What can i say that you can't say better?
What can i tell you?


7. FINE AND GOOD

Things are good, nothing much for me to say
Feeling happier everyday
Things are good, I've got a simple mind
It seems like everything is going fine
Fine and good
Everything is fine and good
Everything is running smooth this week
I don't even really feel the need to speak
But things are good, didn't mean to make you mad
People seem to like when things are bad
But things are good
Everything is fine and good
Is that too much to ask to be this way?
I don't think I'm asking too much
Is that too much to ask to be this way?
I really can't stress it enough
There you are, everything is fine and good
There you are, everything is fine and good
It's fine and good
Everything is fine and good
Is that too much to ask to be this way?
I don't think I'm asking too much
Is that too much to ask to be this way?
Or do you think I'm asking too much?
Is that too much to ask to be this way?
I don't think I'm asking too much
Don't confuse the issue
Or take contention when you are
I really can't stress it enough
There you are, everything is fine and good (x4)
It's fine and good (x3)


8. LEAD PIPE CINCH

Something in my mind won't let my heart and head and mouth connect
And something in my mind won't let my heart out of the darkness yet
That something in my mind, it's locked away
It's not over
I'm not sober anymore


9. COOL MAGNET

Standing at the edge of something
Where discussions are like concussions
Whisper in my ear of cigarettes and beer
They don't call me cool for nothing
Cataract
Too cool for school
Cataract
Nobody's fool
Cataract
Screw all the rules
Cataract
My mind's abused
Not quite amused
I'm just confused
Yeah
Comes so easily
When everything you want is suspect
Attracted to the cool magnet
Only adding to confusion
Dillusions are like illusions
I haven't got the heart to tell them all apart
I think I might need a transfusion
Cataract
Too cool for that
Cataract
A cataract
Triple sec
A triple sec
Cataract
Don't get upset
Or too exact
Forget the facts
Yeah
Comes so easily
When everything you want is suspect attracted to the cool magnet
You can't react without a tact
Triple sec
Cataract
You can't react without attack
Triple sec
Cataract
You can't react without attack
Triple sec
Cataract
You can't react without attack
Triple sec
Cataract
Attracted to the cool magnet (x5)
Cool magnet (x4)


10. SHE HATES MY JOB

She's my girl, she hates my job
She'd trade it all in for the time that it's robbed
She's ok, she don't lay blame
But she hates my job all the same
She hates my job
She won't say
I don't think I want to ask her anyway
I know something's gotta give
She hates my job
But she'll live
She hates my job (x3)
It's all alright, she just hates my job
She'll admit it's not half bad
I love my job and so does her mom and dad
She hates my job (x3)
She hates my job but I love her anyway
She hates my job


11. STONEY

(Instrumental)


12. LAMINATE MAN

Everything you want is done
You wanna run and all you wanna get is high
Stand back and letting all the checks roll in
You've done enough to get you by
You don't even try
With your resume around your neck
Loans are going unpaid
Dinner dates are delayed
Phones calls are never returned
Toys in the driveway
Ashes in the ashtray
Bridges that you've yet to burn
I think it's coming to you
Such a strange occupation
I think it's coming to you
Such a strange situation
You want to jerk me around
By the resume around my neck
Hand in hand on the witness stand
Making time with you
You want to jerk me around
With your resume around your neck
You're gonna buy us with the ease of a virus and disease
You were on a rope but now your done
Your lead is hard to follow
Your story's hard to swallow
You've stopped being very much fun
I think it's coming to you
Such a strange occupation
You've got it coming to you
Such a strange situation
I wanna hang you up
By the resume around your neck
Hand in hand on the witness stand
Making time with you
Send you home with broken bones
Making time with you


13. ALL THE KIDS ARE RIGHT

You heard that we were great
But now you think we're lame
Since you saw the show last night
You hoped that we would rock
And knock it up a notch
But rockin' was nowhere in sight
And it's never good when it goes bad
No one likes to feel like they've been had
And it may be ok
But you won't wear our t-shirts now
Anymore
First the band looked wired
Then the band looked tired
Sluggish and a little slow
He's walking through the set
As drunk as he could get
And what the hell was wrong with Joe?*
And you could tell the crowd was fading fast
Every song we played looser than the last
And it may be ok
But you won't wear our t-shirts now
All the kids, they hold a grudge
Their minds are logged onto the net
And all the kids, they hold a grudge
You fail them and they won't forget it
All the kids, they're tired and turn away
They saw what you did
You're all wrong and all the kids are right
You heard that we were great
But now you know we're lame
Since you saw the show last night
You hoped that we would rock
You wished that we'd just stop
And finally we said "Good night"
When we had returned for the encore
You and half the room had headed for the door
No one wanted more
All the kids, they hold a grudge
Their minds are logged onto the net
And all the kids, they hold a grudge
You failed them and they won't forget it
All the kids, they're tired and turn away
All the kids, they hold a grudge
Their minds are logged onto the net
And all the kids, they hold a grudge
You failed them and they won't forget it
All your cred won't save you from the kids
They saw what you did
You're all wrong and all the kids are right
Next!


14. DEEP CUT

I don't know where I went
My brain is up for rent
I feel like my whole life is spent
I don't know where I went
What do you do when it's already everywhere?
What do you do when nobody really cares?
What do you do while it's cool to fuck with you?
What do you do?
When you believe what they say about you
And even the things you know are not true
And you can't even ask yourself
I don't know where I'm at
I think I killed my cat
I get these paranoid attacks
I don't know where I'm at
What do you do when opinions are everywhere?
What do you do when it's nothing you want to hear?
What do you do when you can't think of what to do?
What do you do?
When you believe what they say about you
And even the things you know are not true
And you can't even ask yourself
Gotta move on (x3)
What do you do when you don't know what to do? (x4)
Gotta move on (x4)
What do you do? (x3)
Gotta move on


15. LUCKY TIME

I never fail to catch the small details
Bigger things just seem to trigger things
You only know because I told you so
And yeah, I guess that's fine
It's only me
Now who else would it be?
With you
Such a lucky time
With everything to prove
To you
It's such a lucky time
With everything to prove
I'll never be just who I want to be
I've bought into the things I'd never do
I know you know but you never tell me so
And I cannot repay
Let me try to make it up to you
And soon
It's such a lucky time
With everything to prove
To you
It's such a lucky time
With everything to prove
I never fail to catch the small details
I'm catching on that nothing will last that long
You can't be shamed if you've never played their games
Around the room to play
It's only you with nothing left to prove
But I don't want to lose this lucky time
With everything to prove
To you
It's such a lucky time
With everything to prove
To you
It's such a lucky time
With everything to prove
To prove
To you
To you
It's such a lucky time with everything to prove (X3)
