Clenching my teeth tight 
My head is like a sponge 
Give it to me free 
I wanna get ripped off 
And drown in the airwaves 
Another fatal wreck 
On the information highway 
So go ahead and kill yourselves 
It all amuses me 
For I'll be damned to spend my life in hell 
Another wise ingrate 
Bring me blood and pain 
Of a stranger's fate 
Give it all away 
Give it to me now 
I'm desensitized 
I wanna watch the bomb 
Blow the masses high 
I wanna get ripped off 
And drown in the airwaves 
Another fatal wreck 
On the information highway 
So go ahead and kill yourselves 
It all amuses me 
For I'll be damned to spend my life in hell 
Another wise ingrate 
Bring me blood and pain 
Of a stranger's fate 
Give it all away 
I wanna get ripped off 
And drown in the airwaves 
Another fatal wreck 
On the information highway 
So go ahead and kill yourselves 
It all amuses me 
For I'll be damned to spend my life in hell 
Another wise ingrate

Wake up, the house is on fire 
And the cat's caught in the dryer 
Philosophy's a liar when 
Your home is your headstone 
Icon is the last chance for hope 
When there's no such thing as heroes 
Your faith lies in the ditch 
That you dug yourself in 

Last chance to piss it all away 
Nothing but hell to pay 
When the lights are going down 

Deadbeat holiday, celebrate your own decay 
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high 
On a noose over your home 
Deatbeat holiday, get on your knees and pray 
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high 
But at least you're not alone 

Christmas lights in the middle of August 
Grudges come back to haunt us 
Your oldest allies 
Are your long lost enemies 
Grounded in a duplex to find 
That you're living on a landmine 
Vacation hotspots 
Is a cemetary drive 

Last chance to piss it all away 
Nothing but hell to pay 
When all you wanna do 
Is not to give up

Seventeen and strung out on confusion 
Trapped inside a roll of disillusion 
I found out what it takes to be a man 
Well,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 
Well,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

Today is the first day 
Of the rest of our lives 
Tomorrow is too late 
To pretend everything's all right 
Well, I'm not getting any younger 
As long as you don't get any older 
I'm not gonna state that yesterday 
Never was 

Bloodshot deadbeat 
Will I go to sleep 
Making your mascara bleed 
Tears down your face 
Leaving traces of my mistakes 

(When I say) 
If I promise to go to church on Sunday 
Will you go with me on Friday night? 
If you live with me, I'll die for you 
And this compromise 

I hereby solemnly swear 
To tell the whole truth 
And nothing but the truth 
Is what I'll ever hear from you 
Trust is a dirty word 
That comes from such a liar 
But respect is something I will learn 
If you have faith

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 hanging out over my head 
Hail comes crashing down 
welting my face 
MAGIC MAN,EGOCENTRIC PLASTIC MAN 
Yet you still get 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

Staring out of my window 
Watching the cars go rolling by 
My friends are gone 
I've got nothing to do 
So I sit here patiently 
Watching the clock tick so slowly 
Gotta get away 
Or my brains will explode 

Give me something to do to kill some time 
Take me to that place that I call home 
Take away the strains of being lonely 
Take me to the tracks at Christie Road 

See the hills from afar 
Standing on my beat up car 
The sun went down and the night fills the sky 
Now I feel like me once again 
As the train comes rolling in 
Smoked my boredom gone 
Slapped my brains up so high 

Give me something to do to kill some time 
Take me to that place that I call home 
Take away the strains of being lonely 
Take me to the tracks at Christie Road 

Mother stay out of my way of that place we go 
We'll always seem to find our way to Christie Road 

Mother stay out of my way of that place we go 
We'll always seem to find our way to Christie Road 

If there's one thing that I need 
That makes me feel complete 
So I go to Christie Road 
It's home...

I'm on a sentimental journey 
Into sight and sound 
Of no returning 
No looking back or down 
A conscientious objector 
To the war that's in my my mind 
I'm leaving in a lurch 
And I'm taking back what's mine 

I'm on a mission 
Into destination unknown 
An expedition 
Onto Desolation road 
Where I'm a... 

Castaway, goin' at it alone 
Castaway, now I'm on my own 
Castaway, goin' at it alone 
Castaway, now I'm on my own 
Lost and found, trouble bound... 
Castaway 

I'm ridin' on the night train 
And driving stolen cars 
Testin' my nerves 
Out on the boulevard 
Spontaneous combustion 
In the corners of my mind 
I'm leaving in a lurch 
And I'm taking back what's mine

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 emotions in the grave
Hell, who needs them
anyway
So close to drowning but
I don't mind
I've lived in this mental cave
Throw emotions in the grave
Hell, who needs them
anyway

Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days 
They're getting over the hill 
Death is closing in and catching up 
As far as I can tell 
Got a plan of action and cold blood 
And it smells of defiance 
I'll just wait for Mom and Dad to die 
And got my inheritance 

Now I want more 
'Cause I'm getting bored 
And I'm going nowhere fast 
I was once filled with doubt 
Now it's all figured out 
Nothing good can last 

Crows feet and rot are setting in 
And time is running out 
My parent's income interest rate 
Is gaining higher clout 
I'm a snot nosed slob 
Without a job 
And I know I damn well should 
Mom and Dad don't look so hot these days 
But my future's looking good 

Now I want more 
'Cause I'm getting bored 
And I'm going nowhere fast 
I was once filled with doubt 
Now it's all figured out 
Nothing good can last 

Now I want more 
'Cause I'm getting bored 
And I'm going nowhere fast 
I was once filled with doubt 
Now it's all figured out 
Nothing good can last

I'm having trouble trying to sleep 
I'm counting sheep but running out 
As time ticks by 
And still I try 
No rest for crosstops in my mind 

On my own... here we go 

My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed 
Dried up and bulging out my skull 
My mouth is dry 
My face is numb 
Fucked up and spun out in my room 

On my own... here we go 

My mind is set on overdrive 
The clock is laughing in my face 
A crooked spine 
My sense dulled 
Passed the point of delerium 

On my own... here we go 

My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed 
Dried up and bulging out my skull 
My mouth is dry 
My face is numb 
Fucked up and spun out in my room 

On my own... here we go
