Fuck Ups 01:37
All my friends are fuck ups, dropouts and addicts We look like hell, we smell like shit and you might call us sadists And I'm sure that we'd agree But the last thing that we want is your sympathy. And I know, I know that you won't show If you ever bothered to make any plans at all. All my friends they talk about solidarity, All my friends are full of shit, they have no clue what it means. To support some one lkjdisfkwoielrkjelk And I know, I know that you won't show If you ever bothered to make any plans at all. Chords: C G Am F

Speed City 01:54
I wasn't born in a small town But I hate these city lights On the ground littered with concrete These cars are such a blight. The sky grows grey Filled up with smog Fight through the crowd, Cigarette fog. Oh, I'm growing sick, Sick and I'm broken. Can't scream no more because I am choking Oh, I'm growing sick I'm sick of this city It's eating me alive Sick of men in business clothes They rush to be on time Suburban families with pretty houses Are always such a mess A flat-screen and a trophy wife A real picture of success It's time to quit my shit job Cooking for the bourgeoisie Instead I'll feed my wanderlust And live my god damn dreams Oh, I'm growing sick, Sick and I'm broken. Can't scream no more because I am choking Oh, I'm growing sick Chords: Verse: Am C Chorus: C G Am C G C F

New Town 02:08
There's a new town, calling my name A hundred horizons away And my feet carve ditches in the ground This city'll always find a way to drag me down And the open road, is waiting to break my heart Picking at my seams until I fall apart And my insides litter the ground I'll pull myself together somehow Ohhhhhhhh I ain't coming back My brittle bones, they break every day They hide the truth, but it's plain on their face I spent years seeking, now I've finally found A hole of my own, with the worms underground Ohhhhhhhh I ain't coming back Chords: (capo 2) (verse) Em, D, Em (chorus) G, Em, D, Em

Restless 02:31
Restless am I, when I'm home Restless am I, lest I'm on the road I can't stand to spend another night laying in my bed I've got to find another place to rest my weary head I've got skeletons in my closet that i hope to lay to rest So I set out on the open road to find out where it led The road and the trees, how they beckon me Am I running towards or away from something Restless am I, when I'm home Restless am I, lest I'm on the road It was minus five and nine PM with not a single car in sight So I slept beneath an overpass to keep warm till morning light It was there I found what I was looking for with just my banjo by my side I found what I was looking for, a part of me that died Restless am I, when I'm home Restless am I, lest I'm on the road The road and the trees, how they comfort me Am I running towards or away from something Chords: (chorus) Am, F, Am, C, G (verse) C, Am, F, C, Am, F, G (bridge) Am G Am F G

There is something going down In the under ground the mice and the moles whisper in gopher holes about the fat rat king and his corn cob crown winter was cold, springs seeds were sown The silos are empty our stomachs are empty The year has been hard the summers been dry the seeds didn't yield and no ones wondering why The silos are empty our stomachs are empty There is something going down in the underground The mice and the moles whisper in gopher holes about the fat rat king and his corncob crown Winter was cold, spring's seeds were sown The silos are empty Our stomachs are empty There was a flood, The fat rat king drowned The vermin rejoiced in the underground The silos are empty Our stomachs are empty Chords: (verse) Am C (chorus) C G Am (bridge) Am C Am Em

Two Frames 02:09
Society's rejects, we've been cast aside I've finally found my family, I wear my cut with pride This patch on my back is so much more than that This is my family, my filthy wolf pack Unnecessary and redundant Tedious and boring What's the point of shooting If you've never scoring? Society's rejects, we've been cast aside I've finally found my family, I wear my cut with pride This patch on my back is so much more than that This is my family, my filthy wolf pack I like riding and building Bikes with my sisters and brothers Take one frame and weld it On top of another Society's rejects, we've been cast aside I've finally found my family, I wear my cut with pride This patch on my back is so much more than that This is my family, my filthy wolf pack Chords: Chorus: C F C G Verse: C F

My Punk 01:24
My punk's better than your punk My grind is harder than yours I listened to Black Flag before him I've got more patches than her Cuz I'm so much more punk than you, I'm so much more hardcore I'm so fucking punk that I'll Pass out on your floor I've hopped more trains than you, I've been to a million shows I've beat up every riot cop And snorted all the coke Cuz I'm so much more punk than you, I'm so much more hardcore I'm so fucking punk that I'll Pass out on your floor I've got a dog, his name is Shithead And he's more punk than you He hates going in the bath And he steals all his food Cuz he's so much more punk than you, He's so much more hardcore He's so fucking punk that he Started the class war Chords: C Am F G

I keep my eyes on the horizon Things'll be different one day I've got me a goal to keep my eyes on I keep my demons at bay I can tell that things are getting better They can only get better from here Things may not be perfect But they're better than they've been the last few years I've done a lot of growing But I've not grown up I made me some friends along the way My mind's confined to a mattress on my floor I keep my demons at bay I keep my eyes on the horizon Things'll be different one day I've got me a goal to keep my eyes on I keep my demons at bay Chords (Capo 2): Chorus: G Am C G D C Verse: G Am C Outtro: G Am C G F C

Patches to patches And crust to crust I never met a cop that I could trust I wake up at noon and ride my bike to work I feel like shit cuz my boss is a dick I'm more scared of staying the same Than I've ever been of change And I've lost more friends that way Patches to patches And crust to crust I never met a cop that I could trust They're pushing us back and they won't ever stop Fuck the cops, yeah fuck the cops I promise I'm not gonna run away this time And not just cuz I've got nowhere left, left to hide My feet are getting so fucking tired Patches to patches And crust to crust I never met a cop that I could trust They're building a prison outside of this town Burn it down, yeah burn it down Chords: D A Bm G

Here We Grow 02:36
Let's go together, we can brave any storm Here we grow, here we grow, here we grow x2 I met a girl last year, we rode bikes at night And talked about how someday we might Run away, run away, run away It's a strange time of year, my friends are leaving town The new rat kind mayor dons his new rat king crown Fuck this town, fuck this town, fuck this town Chorus (Capo 1): F C G Am
