Pirate Song

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 Everything
01:52
|

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

Bomb The Mall
02:36
|
|||
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

No Drugs 'til Rehab
02:01
|
|||
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

Terror In My Eye
03:23
|
|||
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

Intolerance is Fucked
03:14
|
|||
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
