You High-Fiving Motherf**ker
You High-Fiving Motherf**ker
You High-Fiving Motherf**ker
You High-Fiving Motherf**ker
You're just a walking billboard
For all the latest brands
You've got no taste in music
And you really love our band
You're haircut is atrocious
It's been the same since '83
Your glory days are over
And so's your stonewashed jeans
You crass fat-ass
You stupid steroid f**k
I'll bet you even named your
Grand prize monster truck
You want me - you can't pay
You want me - you can't pay
You want me - you want me
You High-Fiving Motherf**ker
You High-Fiving Motherf**ker

You're just a walking billboard
For all the latest brands
You've got no taste in music
And you really love our band
You're haircut is atrocious
It's been the same since '83
Your glory days are over
And so's your stonewashed jeans
You crass fat-ass
You stupid steroid f**k
Hi-jack the pit your shit
Male bonding as moose rut
You want me - You can't pay
You want me - You can't pay
You want me - you can't pay
3 and you want
You crass fat-ass

You, you, you, you
You, you, you, you
You

Born to be down
I've learned all my lessons before now
Born to be down
I think you'll get used to it

And you just don't get it
you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it
You know it's so pathetic
and you don't(x4)

Born to be down
I think that I've said this before now
Born to be down
What good is confidence?

And you just don't get it
you keep it copacetic
And you learn to accept it
You know it's so pathetic
and you don't

Don't you hate it
When people are in love, they're so
They're so happy
So goddamn happy, happy

Don't you hate it
When people are in love, they're so
They're so happy
So fucking happy, happy

I wanna cut you down
I wanna cut you down
I wanna cut you down
It's not fair
Crystal clear and glassy-eyed in love

Dave and Heather
I see them fighting all the time
I kind of like that
I kind of need that

'Cause I just hate it
When people are in love, they're so
They're so happy
So fucking happy, happy

I wanna cut you down
I wanna cut you down
I wanna cut you down
I wanna cut you down
I wanna cut you down
I wanna cut you down
I wanna cut you down
It's not fair
You're so crystal clear and glassy-eyed
You're crystal clear and glassy-eyed
You're crystal clear and glassy-eyed in love

Don't you hate it
Don't you hate it
Don't you hate it
Don't you hate it

Maybe the life I've left
Is coming back for me
Maybe to beat you, I'll cheat you
Maybe it's twisted, ham fisted
Imparting the words to impeach you
It's all right
Maybe.
Wanna play?
This one is turning sour
By the hour

I'd Like to think that it's out of here
You'll blow into town maybe twice a year
To Check on me to see if I'm still here
and make me think that it's my idea

and everything in the world is free
I come to you so easily
I never felt a sense of meaning
you that i refuse to see

You had me but its over now x3
It's No Problem x2

Im not really sure why I let you win
or even why I let it begin
I've always been an easy in
I'm easy out the door again

I know it's only because your down
that you ever wanted to come around
Just a little secret in a little town

You had me but its over now x2
You'll get my attention again somehow

It's No Problem x4

A one trick pony in a one horse town
You're feeling lonely and the cable's down
You feel like the only freak in this town
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with me?
We've got a life of scratching tickets
at the local gas and stop
So suck on another whippit
and hear the brain cells pop
I know I'm nothing special
I know I'm nothing great
I know I'm nothing different
But I just don't feel the same
What's wrong with me?
Can you feel the radiation
dragging your sister down?
You won't feel the alienation
you'll never leave this town
I know I'm nothing special
I know I'm nothing great
I know I'm nothing different
But I just don't feel the same
What's wrong with me?
and I could be happy with less I guess
if they tell me that less is more
They set a place for me at the table
I won't be hungry anymore
I know I'm nothing special
I know I'm nothing great
I know I'm nothing different
But I just don't feel the same
What's wrong with me?

Quarters on the eyes
Rejected Sacrifice
Cauterized at best
Failing your litmus test
I know it's dumb to say
But turnabout's fair play
Always knew that you
Were suffering a fool

You go ahead - as good as dead

Okay - I understand
But I don't want to be your friend
I don't need another friend
I've got too many friends
If I was Eddie Vedder
Would you like me any better?
That's it - I quit - I don't give a shit

You go ahead - as good as dead
Coming to a head
You're as good as dead

Well, punk is dead
And, yeah, you're next
But it seems no one has told you yet
So hardcore
You must be sore
You come on like a major threat


Face - I know you like it hard 'n' straight
Face - Think I'll hang around and wait


Hey, old school - yeah, you were cool
But that was back in the day
Yeah, that was back in the day


Well, take a bow
Harder than thou
You scream "Guilty" like a Judge on high
Well, beat them back
The New Jacks
More than music it's a way of life

Abusive excuses are all I have to hold
Use and re-use to explain why I'm so cold
One for headaches
One for stress
But the one for fear's the one I like best
Abusive excuses they save me everytime


The slow slide down
You never can see it
The slow slide down
You always believe it


Destructive impulses and cowardice and lies
Buzzing back to life like freeze dried flies
Flies for love
and flies for sex
But the flies for fear are flies I like best
Impulsive destruction is where my talent lies


The slow slide down
You're trying to change me
It's all my fault
But you never blame me


It's in everything we do


One for love
and one for sex
But the one for fear's the one I like best
This act is a bore but it makes me who I am


The slow slide down
You never can see it
My act is a bore
You always believe it


It's in everything we do

I'm not mad
I'm just bored
And everything I do is only because
There's nothing much else for me to do
And that includes you x2

Messing around with you x3

Piss away potential
Everyday is a waste
And I'm wasted everyday
There's nothing much else for me to do
And that includes you x2

Messing around with you x3

You see me now a little bit clearer
The face I make when I'm looking in the mirror
It gives me away, the things that I say

You think you know where I'm coming from
The words I say when I'm playing dumb
It gives me away x4

One more thing before we go
I've stepped over everyone I know
Everyone I know x2

You see me now a little bit clearer
The face I make when I'm looking in the mirror
It gives me away, the things that i say, it gives me away

You think you know where I'm coming from
The words I say when I'm playing dumb
It gives me away x3
I'm always ashamed

I'm always ashamed,
and that's no way to be x8
