Pirate Song 02:13
One time I was drinking at my favorite bar One too many whiskeys and I took it too far I got in a fight with some guy that I knew My eye is now turning all black and all blue My lucky gold coin says you're out of whack So I'm going to sail away and smoke a fat sack And depending on me mood I might just come back To give you a fearsome and deadly attack If I don't get drunk off this next shot of rum I'll wander aimlessly until I find some But in a back alley I found a bum And he smoked me down until I was dumb After we smoked the rest of that dub I stumbled 'round 'til I found a pub I was thirsty so I ordered a beer And who the fuck knows how I ended up here!

Burn all the books and burn all the lies Burn the corruption in their eyes Burn all the cop cars and tear off the lights Anarchy and freedom are in my sights Blow up the suburbs and burn the neglect The world needs to wake up and come correct All their mistakes and all their lies Lets lead the movement no compromise Burn all the teachers and burn all the grades Burn everything that’s worth a parade Burn all the parks and write on the walls Or if you prefer in the bathroom stalls Burn all the suits and burn all the ties Now I’m here to answer the rebel’s cries Burn authority and their charades The man no longer has it made Burn all the law books and burn all the flags Burn all the buildings that I used to tag Fuck society it’s all gone to shit It may work for you but it doesn’t fit For me, For Pirates, and the lifestyle led They’ll brainwash you until they’re in your head So light up a torch and burn down their stashes Burn the world down Don’t stop till it’s ashes

Drown the preps and kill the chads wasting their time avoiding their dads Prancing around from store to store while we sit here yawning what a bore Isolation desperation from the status quo the media once again has nothing to show Yet people buy in like brainwashed fucks waiting to die in this society that sucks Have you read what I wrote on the bathroom stall it goes on and on about bombing the mall So lets get together and kill them all and when they are all dead we will bomb the mall When the mannequins take over you’ll wish you would have listened They will eat you alive even though you are christened I hate these mall crawlers spending their dollars on the propaganda that controls their life Giving anything to roll the dice on what could have been what should have been But it won’t matter in the end Have you read what I wrote on the bathroom stall it goes on and on about bombing the mall So lets get together and kill them all and when they are all dead we will bomb the mall Twisting and bending into clothes that don’t fit just to fit in at school or some shit What you want to do is controlled by your peers, and I wonder will you ever get over your fears? To stick and be yourself so we can tear down this rotting shelf Of endless need and endless want but for now I’ll sit here and taunt you brainwashed little fucks

Another victim of the street with his thumb out in the air Lost along this highway with dirty fucking hair A backpack on his shoulders and a guitar in his hand he told me he has travelled all across the land] Nothing in his wallet and no shoes on his feet he only knows the people that he sees or meets He started to tell a sad fucking story his parents and friends gave him no glory So he hit the road with no place in mind running from hell himself he would find He said where are you headed, well I’m headed west, that’ll do fine because I have no quest I asked him what do you seek? Well I do not know I’ve been all this way and have nothing to show Well that is ok I will disagree from what you have told me I’d say you were free You light your own fires and play your guitar you watch all the sunsets and then dream of stars You don’t pay taxes you don’t have rent don’t know where you’re going just know where you went So don’t feel so bad you are doing alright you’re living my dream where freedom’s in sight Later that day when I let him out I told him don’t worry there is nothing to doubt Stay true to yourself and keep moving on don’t get discouraged your life isn’t gone Another victim of the street with his thumb out in the air

They say that life's a game and then they take the board away Yes life's a game and then they take the dice away But again, truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty You need only look into a mirror you're full of fear But I, just like god, do not believe in coincidences And I don't play with those fucking dice Oh no So remember, remember the 5th of November Of gunpowder treason and plot I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot It's the eve of revolution so please won't you dance with me Because a revolution without dancing is no revolution to me This country needs more than just a building It needs hope and freedom for all But you're never going to find all that freedom On the shelves of the shopping mall So remember, remember the 5th of November Of gunpowder treason and plot I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot People should not be afraid of their governments Yeah governments should be afraid of their people So fill up your flask and put on your mask And I'll see you in November So remember, remember the 5th of November Of gunpowder treason and plot I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot

I didn’t start tagging ‘til I got arrested for graffiti To make a long story short I lit a fire and detectives came after me I had to quit doing drugs for a while awaiting my stupid fucking trial But after six months of probation you know I picked up where I left off I started smoking pot again and I took a little vicoden Sometimes some oxycoton but that was just now and again Next thing you know I’m selling pot and I get robbed in the park One week later I’m off to rehab I met a bunch of acidheads and raver kids alike They told me about those colorful pills and liquid magic delight I met a couple cokeheads and a couple hippies too They told me that the mushrooms would show me what was true So when I got out of rehab I went down to Peru I did a bunch of cocaine and later mushrooms too Next thing I know I’m on an acid binge with you Yeah next thing I know I'm too spun out on acid and can't find my way home with you

I can’t describe the feeling or the terror in my eye I woke up this morning and felt like I should die Cuz I have been misplaced and I don’t know what to do All of these thoughts in my head: Why am I stuck on you? See I didn’t get to say goodbye to all of my good friends Now everyone is telling me that they were just dead ends They want me to move on and leave my friends behind Go off to college think of the jobs I’ll find The jobs I’ll find So take me away from here And get me the fuck right out of here I can’t describe the feeling or the terror in my heart I’m locked up with emotions and don’t know where to start I just know this isn’t home at all and I sure feel alone No one to talk to: a dog without a bone So I’ll sit here in the corner singing songs just to myself And when I write another one I’ll throw it on that shelf Until the day I leave here I will sing until I die And on the day that happens notice the terror in my eye So take me away from here And get me the fuck right out of here I can’t describe the feeling of not doing what your told Living your own standard yeah fuck all of the old But this life is truly yours so you should take it as you will And do what you need to embrace that every thrill So fuck all of your colleges I need to get away I just want to travel and that’s all I’m going to say So let’s chase that sunset off into the West Until we find ourselves our own birds nest So we can settle, but will we ever really settle? No I don’t think so: We won’t ever settle down So take me away from here And get me the fuck right out of here

I sheltered myself all last winter and now I am looking much thinner I’m beginning to fall apart oh is there a beat in my heart? So everything has shifted by a month or two because it used to be cold in December But now I can go outside and go hiking if I want to But don’t you know as soon as spring comes around there will be feet of snow on the ground And I just don’t understand this weather I’m just trying to teach myself how to get better But these clouds always put me in a funky mood I’ll just want to sleep and I won’t want any food And some they might call me depressed and they’ll blame it on memories repressed From my childhood but from where I’m sitting childhood looks pretty good Because I could have been who I wanted to be an astronaut in space or a pirate at sea Then I grew up and they told me I’d done it wrong they told me the reason why I smoke that bong And they said it isn’t because you like to get high you just need to escape and this is your reply You just want to cope and avoid your real life the one where you go out and find yourself a wife To be all responsible and support a family and don’t forget about that college degree I sheltered myself all last winter and now I am looking much thinner I’m beginning to fall apart oh is there a beat in my heart? So won’t you press your ear to my chest and tell, tell me, tell me am I really depressed? And should I take those fucking pills and get rid of all my unique skills To be just like everybody else on this earth heavily medicated from the age of birth

I went to 8 different schools in 9 different years soon I forgot how to make friends with my peers I really got tired of saying goodbye move on to the next school just to retry Again and again year after year and then 9 months later I would just disappear And after a while I shut myself down I didn’t want any friends in any new town I didn’t want to get close and later get hurt it’s better to be alone than stomped on in the dirt Because that’s what it feels like when I say goodbye we got pretty close now I just want to cry I will miss you something awful it will never be the same But even after all these years I don’t know who to blame But I want to see you again some other day Yes I hope to see you again I still have things to say I went to 8 different schools in 9 different years and I didn’t get any souvenirs Just a pattern that I developed slowly back in those schools I guess you would’ve had to know me Because when the end was in sight I would pick a really stupid fight Just to make it easier when I went away but it was never really easier no it was a delay My emotions would catch up to me and I’m sorry that I hurt you it was unnecessary Because all I needed was a friend and I’m sorry you got hurt in the end But I want to see you again some other day Yes I hope to see you again I still have things to say But I want to see you again some other day Yes I hope to see you again that is all I have to say

Wagon Skulls 02:15
Headed down south to the land of the pines Bodies with no surprise The blood drips down like the devil's rain & I'm praying to god I see headlights Corpses all hang headless and limp So I'm picking me a bouquet of dogwood flowers And I'm hoping for Raleigh We'll bathe tonight So rock me skulls like a wagon wheel Rock me skulls anyway you feel hey skulls rock me Rock me skulls like the wind and the rain Rock me skulls like a south bound train hey skulls rock me Demon I am face I peel I was born to be a fiddler in an old town string band My baby plays the guitar Gotta have you on my wall Oh these north country winters keep on getting me down To see your skin turned inside out I gotta have you on my wall I want your mama I need your mama I want your mama yeah So rock me skulls like a wagon wheel Rock me skulls anyway you feel hey skulls rock me Rock me skulls like the wind and the rain Rock me skulls like a south bound train hey skulls rock me

Is this my only way out? I am poisoning myself with all of this doubt It surrounds me and pounds me into the concrete which bounds and impounds my mind I’m getting annoyed or maybe overjoyed either way I’m feeling a void in this thing they call a life I guess I was unprepared and maybe a little unaware Which I find quite alarming considering how much time I spent in school Weren’t they supposed to teach you that? But I guess I just don’t give a crap Because those years are behind me although I thank them kindly Because that was my experience and there is no giving that up But some days I wish I could because I’m misunderstood No matter where I go and no matter who I talk to I just don’t fit in Is that a fucking sin? So quick to criticize with fear in your eyes Yes I am different but also the same so how does that fit into your stupid fucking game Intolerance is fucked must I really deconstruct this for you? To un-do you jaded worldview But who the fuck am I to tell you how to live your life I’m just sick all of these stereotypes and all of these fucking fights I don’t understand the difference and I don’t understand the fear We all live on the same Earth and we all live on a sphere So get over your prejudice cause we are mostly the fucking same Diversity something to celebrate so fuck your fucking hate It’s time to celebrate diversity for you and for me It’s so fucking beautiful and so fucking free diversity for you and for me
