Moving in darkness to the place I saw him lastCrying for the friendship thats forever in the pastWere going home to mourn himOn a jet place crossing date-linesWe are going nowhere fastTheres a river running through our town Carrying salt to the seaAnd our tears will merge with the flowing waterCarrying salt to the seaSharing our sadness with the ones you left behindStaring at the photographs of long forgotten timesLook through any windowSee we all came from a different placeBut now were all of a kindThe blind leading the blindTheres a river running through our town Carrying salt to the seaAnd our tears will merge with the flowing waterCarrying salt to the seaSomewhere in timeHe was a friend of mineNow his story gets toldAn event unfoldsThe ebb and flowThe letting goIts hard to know whyAnd our tears will merge with the flowing waterCarrying salt to the seaTo the seaTheres a river running through our town Carrying salt to the sea

Well speeches aren’t the thing for youYou talk yet you don’t even have a clue Maybe a teleprompter with a pre-made speechCould have prevented you from being a creepPolitics really aren’t the place to preachYou never even realize the consequences of your actionsYour actions of vocal irrational thoughtCreated by your own neglectWe’re making a delicious drink in a chocolate city!ChorusWell it may not be easy toThink what you want to thinkSay what you want to saySave it for another dayWhen maybe you can get it outWithout thinking twice about Repercussions who’s in painApologies in vainWhy do people always act this wayThey talk shit before they can use their brainMaybe it’s cause we’re human because we’re freeIt’s a part of our makeup and there’s no way to fleeFrom these idiots they surround our livesWell maybe I can offer up a just solutionThink before you open up your mouthOr you’ll find something in there before you get the words outWe’re making a delicious drink in a chocolate city!Chorus x2

I’ll go over state lines just to get what I wantOn the fourth of July that’s just one thing in bulkPyrotechnics the kind of stuff that explodesBottle rockets and poppers and fake dynamiteThe only problem is using it all in one nightIndependence Day gone I have too much to showLost it all on Cinco July-o x3Oh no look at your watch its way past 10The whirly bird flew into the kindlingThe Rockets here are louder than a lions denUh oh I think we woke up Mr. FinneganThe mortar is hotter then La Quinta InnThese fountains hit me harder than a rolling pinPlease no firecrackers in the garbage bin Mr hobo can’t afford artificial skinHelicopters high above the Ho Chi MinhAint got nothing on this looney binTwisted fuses stuck together like Siamese twinsSpells trouble in the long runThe thrill of lights will never wear thinAs long as we indulge in our pyrotechnic sinWhile the nosy neighbors bear it and grin They wanna call the cops againIll go over state lines just to get what I wantOn the 4th of july its just one thing in bulk Pyrotechnics the kind of stuff that explodesLost it all on Cinco July-o x3His life like that of a fruit flyTo Mr. G.I. Joe we wave goodbye (goodbye)With a battle cryThe next loud noise is heard nearbyBy the Chesterfield FBI We’re not Russian spiesMay only good morals applyLike Chevrolet and apple pieSparklers you’re next so please stand byWith all the kids from junior highFaster than the blink of an eyeOur fireworks stash goes bone dryWhen Roman candles light my sky I release a grayish sighAnd mourn the death of my supplyFifth of JulyLost it all on Cinco July-o

So we started a bandWe wrote some shitty song about lending a handTo the poor little kid down the roadTo play at all of our ultra-cool showsLooking at an empty roomWith nothing but our friendWho will smile and clap for usWhen we get off stage for the first timeIt’s hopefully not the last timeChorusYou passed out our flyersYou paid our admission at the doorYou wore our shirts just to make it known we existedAnd we know it’s not muchBut we thank you for all that you doAnd when the rest of the crowd stood staring emotionlessYou scuffed up the floors;It’s good to know someone’s enjoying usEspecially when just the week beforeWe played to three people’s backs as they alked out the doorAnd I know we can’t make it aloneBut if you didn’t want to hear you could just stay homeBut you stayed with us faithfullyAnd we play for you gratefullyChorus

I’m a prisoner in my cageIs where I do my timeA crime I know not ofGawked from a distanceBy the free and unconstrainedI want to self-liberateFrom this hellIn quicksand without a branchI’m in the big house now babyRunning the gambit for lifeWith no exodus in sightChorusCold concrete on my backShuddering cold breathsof air They find escapeBut I can’t seem to do the sameIncarcerated vacationMy soul decaysI count the daysUntil I’m free from captivityEvery day I spend my waking hoursLiving now on endFeeding just enough to shut me upAnd to get me through the dayI’m in a broken stateInside this cellA stolen chanceI’m giving up my last standWith no possible advanceMy week at a glanceChorus x2

Watch it slip through your fingersLike a trickle of water its goneThe one thing you believe inAll gone bad all gone wrongIts so easy to lose itAnd so hard to get it back againSo you better had use itI say this as a friendShow yourself That youre all that you thought you could beWhy dont you show yourself to meWe get up in the morningIts so strange how we make up our lives One by one we get readyFind the will to surviveI need you to inspire meI cant get it from anyone elseAnd I see through your indifferenceHear the sea in your empty shellWhy dont you say it why dont you play itWhy dont you say exactly who you areWhy dont you say it why dont you play itThats who you are thats who you areShow yourselfShow yourselfThat your moreThen you thought you could beShow yourself to meShow yourselfThat youre more than I thought you could beWhy dont you show yourself to me Please

Well I couldn’t be a cool guy even if I tried toWalk the walk but I’d stumble and I’d fallSaid I couldn’t be a cool guy even if I wanted toBecause I have no reputation at allTaking into considerationAll of the above mentionedThe basic qualities I lack to prove the often stated factThat I could never be a cool guyWell I couldn’t get a girlfriend Even if I tried to Anatomically I’m a zero out of tenSaid I couldn’t get a girlfriend even if I wanted toThe girls won’t touch me because they don’t know where I’ve beenNoting my rather lengthy historyOf all those girls who never kissed me These faults support the thesis of the reasonI receive no love I could never get a girl friendAnd I couldn’t pass drivers-edDana-nana-nanaAnd I didn’t know the green light was redDana-nana-nanaAnd sometimes I repeat my selfDana-nana-nanaAnd sometimes I repeat my selfDana-nana-nanaI can’t write with my writing handDana-nana-nanaAnd I could never start a ska bandWHAT!Well I couldn’t leave my parents house even if I wanted toMy repugnant job couldn’t carry my own weightSaid I couldn’t leave my parents house even if I tried toThe debts I owe at an unhealthy rateLooking back on all the state facts nowI’ve pointed out all the exacts howMy life depends on everyoneI’ll always be their closest son‘cause I could never leave my parents house

Let me alone just for a minute I just need to think about things and my fucking self I want to speak to God in peace So he can hear my prayer I want to ask him this…. Why doesn’t any girl want to take a chance on me? I just wonder what the fuck is wrong with me Why can someone take a fucking chance on me? I am here I’m alive I refuse to quit and I refuse to die I am here there and everywhere even in your dreams My heart pumps pumps pumps pumps so much love and then I say….. Why doesn’t any girl want to take a chance on me? I just wonder what the fuck is wrong with me Why can someone take a fucking chance on me? Just give me a chance You won’t regret the decision you made I am a sweet-hearted guy Please give me a chance I deserve to be with you I would never let go of you honey Thanks for taking a chance on me baby
