Fiddler's Prison
Kick the can
(Monkey in the middle!)
I'd be playing that
If i didn't have my fiddle
My parents don't get it
The fiddle's not my bag
And now i'm missing out
On neighborhood freeze tag
This house is barred up
I can't get out
They make me play
Or they begin to shout
Yo I can't escape my house
Cause a horrible sneek
Now I'm late for
Hide and go seek

Playing fiddle with your mom all night
Can't roll with this unless your rhymes are tight
See I'm playing chess while your rollin' in yorur your ride
You can't get down without a monkey at your side
Her heart is bumping, rhythm keeps thumping
Playing that fiddle to keep em' all jumping
Eating chicken since the age of ten
I'll keep playing that fiddle so you'll hear me

Agaaaainnn... (playing with my fiddle again)

All night every night I sit there and I drink up
Loving and chugging chocolate milk from a dirty cup
No one really bothers me cause no one really knows
I'm a white boy with no rhythm and I can't dance at punk shows

Little Susie
*Verse
Put her on the streets
she was only 12
find yourself away from the world
we're all lost in a sea called "Growing up"

(Verse)

*Chorus
A fading misnomer of our times
Something we die for but never could live
A hellish syncopated voice
Calling us back

(Verse)

(Chorus)

Bypass Burger
Lyrics by Chris Brown
When I'm feeling like a rebel and there's nothing left to eat
I'm gonna go to my favorite restaurant for my favorite treat
The fries are great, you gotta try it
after you take one bite you'll have to go on a diet

*Chorus
Bypass burger pass out after you eat now
Bypass burger pass out in the street
Your gonna grab your left arm and roll on the floor
And experience pain you've never felt before!

When the paramedics come to pick me up
There gonna put me in the stretcher throw me in the truck
They'll put me in the mourge where the rest of us go
Cause bypass burger made my arteries blow!!

(Chorus)

High Hopes At The Bottom Of The Barrel
(High hopes) High hopes at the bottom of the barrel
Can't blame me for trying, everyday is a battle
(High hopes) Just another drop in the bucket
One day your all about the next day @#\\$! it

(High hopes) High hopes as I write another letter
Seal it with a kiss to make it all the better
(High hopes) Once again I thought I had another chance
Just another miss in this twisted romance

*Chorus
Why don't you see?
It's not the way your supposed to be
Why are you so blind?
Your only great in your own mind!

(High hopes) High hopes as I write another letter
Seal it with a kiss to make it all the better
(High hopes) Once again I thought I had another chance
Just another miss in this twisted romance

(Chorus)

(Verse)

*Verse 1
I just wanted to say "hi"
but you weren't in the mood
No reaction or response
Just your bad attitude
So what if your dreams arn't always what you think they mean
1-2-3-4!

*Chorus
They turned to stone
The People who were lost in the sunlight
What we can't own
When we turn to fight

*Verse 2
You were always too good
For my sweet intentions
Your so-called logic sucks
not to mention
So what if your dreams arn't always what you think they mean
1-2-3-4!

(Chorus)

Turn Ya Head
Well I've been thinkin' about the times when i used to be alone
Stop thinking that you can't
Cuz your not the only one that knows what it's like to be alone
And givin it one more shot is always the way to go
It'll keep you on your toes
Stop thinking that you can't
STOP THINKING THAT YOU CAN'T!

*Chorus
So turn ya head and lie inside
Cause knowing is fear you gotta hide
You feel the change you can't explain
You act like them to hide the pain
Well i can't move out i can't move on
Well i can't move out i can't move on
Well i can't move out i can't move on
Its been forever since you've gone

Well I've been thinkin' about the times when i used to be alone
Stop thinking that you can't
Cuz your not the only one that knows what it's like to be alone
And givin it one more shot is always the way to go
It'll keep you on your toes
Stop thinking that you can't
STOP THINKING THAT YOU CAN'T!

(Chorus)

24 Flavors
Mother come quickly Johnny's about to take his fall
Mother come quickly i'm pushing up against the wall

*Verse 1
Last night i spent with you
I thought i figured out where I'm supposed to be
In my mind I hope that you feel me somehow
I can't move on

Mother come quickly Johnny's about to take his fall
Mother come quickly i'm pushing up against the wall

*Verse 2
I can feel your arms wrapping all around me
I'll hold you close
Sometimes my mind drifts far away where i feel inside you
Please don't move on

Half Hour Shower
You sleep all day and you drive our cars at night
I can't believe I can't believe you didn't

Pick up the house while I was gone
What do you think, I got nothing else better to do!?

You've been in the shower for a half an hour
Whadda ya doin' in there!?
(SHUT UP MOM!)

You come home lying while I stand here crying
and I don't think I can take much more!
