Angry Girl

She’s an angry girl. She wears it on her sleeve.
She’s impossible to love and she’s impossible to please.
And I said, “Tammi’s gonna be on the 9:00 news someday.”
She’s gonna be on the 9:00 news someday.
She’s a sarcastic soul. She buys her t-shirts at the mall.
Where the phrases are so clever and the text is never small.
And I said, “Tammi’s gonna be on the 9:00 news someday.”
She’s gonna be on the 9:00 news someday.
Well you can tell by the tone in her voice.
She doesn’t have a choice.
And you can tell by the look her in eye.
Someone’s gonna die.

I have gotta get this thought out of my mind.
‘Cause it’s ruining my days and it’s ruining my nights.
And the voice keeps talking all the time.
So I’ve gotta get this thought out of my mind.
It’s like Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde.
There’s only room for one inside.
If the first one wins it will be alright.
But if the second takes over it’s suicide.
I have gotta get this thought out of my mind.
‘Cause it’s ruining my days and it’s ruining my nights.
And the voice keeps talking all the time.
So I’ve gotta get this thought out of my mind.
Well I’m not sure what I’m gonna do.
‘Cause I feel like I might come unglued.
I need to sit myself down and tighten my screws.
‘Cause it seems they just keep coming loose.
I have gotta get this thought out of my mind.
‘Cause it’s ruining my days and it’s ruining my nights.
And the voice keeps talking all the time.
So I’ve gotta get this thought out of my mind.

I Just Wanna Know Your Name
She met him at a burger joint somewhere near Steven’s Point.
He was standing by the soda machine. He had these torn up jeans.
And she said, “Aren’t you gonna tell me your name?”
I just wanna know your name.
She got his number from a friend and called him up by that weekend.
And when he answered, so confused, she didn’t know what to do.
So she said, “Aren’t you gonna tell me your name?”
I just wanna know your name.
I just wanna know your name. Maybe talk for a little while.
Tell me your favorite movie. Tell me what makes you smile.
I just wanna know your name. Maybe walk around with you.
Hurry up and give it to me baby. You know there’s worse things you could do.
I just wanna know your name. I just wanna know your name.
I just wanna know your bloody name. So give it to me now.
Oh I gotta know. Oh I need to know.
So, come on honey. Come on, baby. Come on, give me your name.

2nd Date Break-Up

Thank you for taking me to the beach today.
Thank you for letting me just watch the waves.
I’ve never had a better second date.
And I thought that everything was going great.
Looking for love, I wasn’t looking for love.
But, I thought that you might be the one.
I wasn’t looking for love. I wasn’t looking for love.
‘Cause it always ends, and it always hurts too much.
So why did you bother with me anyway?
Why spend your time with someone that you hate?
I know you think my life is just a waste.
But I think I never wanna see your face.
Looking for love, I wasn’t looking for love.
And now it’s over and it’s done.
I wasn’t looking for love. I wasn’t looking for love.
‘When something made you feel, you had to run.
There is no such thing as love.
I am through. And I’ve had enough.
I will just go and use someone.
Take their money, and I’ll have my fun.

We are all going bald and we’re all getting fat.
And we’re all bent and twisted with pain in our backs.
And our shoulders, and elbows, and ankles, and knees.
Seeking prescriptions to bring us relief.
Seeking prescriptions to bring us relief.
And we all stay up late every night.
With these big, black bags under our eyes.
So full of blood we can barely see
That the face in the mirror kinda needs some sleep.
And the face in the mirror kinda looks like me.
So Gimme Gimme More Pain Meds!
Fast as you can.
So Gimme Gimme More Pain Meds!
Put ‘em in my hand.
So Gimme Gimme More Pain Meds!
And don’t delay.
So Gimme Gimme More Pain Meds!
Today.
Well we all hate our jobs and we all want to quit.
But we all need the cash for the lives that we live.
And we’re all way behind on the bills that we pay.
And the stress of it all causes migraine headaches.
The stress of it all causes migraine headaches.
So turn off the lights and try to breathe.
With dry, cracked lips and rotting teeth.
A bloody throat and tar filled lungs.
Getting old is so much fun.
Said youth is wasted on the young.
Gimme Gimme More Pain Meds!

Are you ready for a story, ‘cause here it goes…
I’m gonna tell you all about this girl I know.
The cops know her by name ‘cause she’s always stoned.
And she drives around with a bag of dope.
She’s been staying in a double wide mobile home.
And her tube top’s always hanging low.
Wears stone washed jeans made by Girbaud.
And some pink high heels with an open toe.
You know, Tammi?
Tammi is a meth head know.
She’s got a couple of kids that she never sees.
‘Cause she fails the test every time she pees.
And her parents mostly want to scream.
When they see her hopped up on amphetamines.
She’s been sent to jail about a dozen times.
For possession and for other crimes.
Well she never stays more than a couple nights.
And it doesn’t seem fair. And it doesn’t seem right.
But, Tammi…
Tammi is a meth head now.

Psycho

Well it’s not nice to suggest someone is crazy.
But we stopped being nice so long ago.
So I’m not pulling any punches. I will give it to you straight.
I think you’ve lost your final shred of self-control.
And you’re a psycho.
I’m pretty sure there’s something wrong with you.
I’m scared of everything you say and do.
Well it’s not cute and it’s not funny anymore dear.
Your friends have figured out it’s not act.
They used to think that it was just my dumb opinion.
But you’ve got them convinced it is a fact.
That you’re a psycho.
I’m pretty sure there’s something wrong with you.
I’m scared of everything you say and do.

I can’t believe a single word you say.
As if I’d want to listen to them anyway.
So have another drink on me.
‘Cause a drunk and a liar is all you’ll ever be.
Don’t want to see you. ‘Cause I don’t need you.
A big regret. You’re just a big regret.
Not gonna miss you. So let him kiss you.
My big mistake. You are my worst mistake so far.
I’ve known at least a dozen hypocrites.
But your eyes would be brownest ‘cause you’re just so full of sh*t.
So here’s a toast to you from me.
A worthless lying b*tch is all you’ll ever be.
Don’t want to see you. ‘Cause I don’t need you.
A big regret. You’re just a big regret.
Not gonna miss you. So let him kiss you.
My big mistake. You are my worst mistake so far.

We weren’t invited to the party, but we showed up anyway.
We didn’t mean to ruin your night. But if we did, then that’s ok.
We weren’t supposed to show our faces, so we stayed out at the gate.
And when your neighbors called the cops…that was just icing on the cake.
I’m pretty used to my position. The only place I’ve ever been.
Rejected by the other misfits. I’ve given up on fitting in.
We weren’t invited to the party, but we showed up anyway.
We didn’t mean to ruin your night. But if we did, then that’s ok.
We weren’t supposed to show our faces, so we stayed out at the gate.
And when your neighbors called the cops…that was just icing on the cake.
100 geese in V formation. United in a common goal.
One goes astray and gets forgotten. And now he’ll never make it home.
So you can cry if you want to.
You can die if you want to.
You can cry little darling.

Vague Recollection
02:36

Do you remember that time when nothing particular happened?
I think it started out fine. Black coffee and toast with cinnamon.
We probably both went to work.
And looked up useless things on the inter net.
I probably searched for some bands.
And tried to find a good song that I hadn’t heard yet.
It was a pretty good day.
And then when we got home...
We probably had a few drinks and a bite to eat.
We probably went for a walk.
And then complained about very sore legs and feet.
Do you remember that time and how simple our lives seemed back then?
And would it blow your mind if I said I’d like to do it all again?
I’ve got a vague recollection in the back of my brain
That makes me pretty damn sure it was a pretty good day.
I might be bad with names and I might act confused
But I am totally sure that I belong with you.
And I would like to add that you belong with me
And I think most of our friends would agree.
But if a couple few have other things to say…
Well then it’s fine ‘cause we don’t care anyway.

Freaks

I’m just like anyone who’s stuck in their home town.
I truly hate this place and I want to burn it down.
I know you’re nervous and a little scared to eave.
But I feel this place is gonna be the death of me.
I don’t wanna walk away. I want to run.
I can’t spend another minute biting my own tongue.
It’s been a decade since I said I needed out.
You know I mean it when I say let’s do it now.
Our slate is messed up and it’s time to wipe it clean.
The fence is broken and the grass was never green.
I don’t wanna walk away. I want to run.
I can’t spend another second biting my own tongue.
So I’m gonna say exactly what is on my mind.
I’m out of patience and I’m running out of time.
And to be honest this should come as no surprise.
The freaks are taking off. It’s time to say goodbye.
I don’t wanna walk away. I want to run.

Bags of Money

Buy me a beer to go with this shot.
You’ve got the one thing that I haven’t got.
You can afford things that I cannot.
So please…
Buy me some food and buy me some clothes.
Keep it a secret so nobody knows.
I can’t believe I’ve sunk so low.
I am a leech.
Well your parents, they have done very well.
But you, little rich girl can go to hell.
First buy me some drumsticks and buy us some strings.
Buy me all kinds of expensive things.
Girl, just don’t ever expect a ring from me.
Buy me some gas to put in my car.
To drive far away from wherever you are.
I hope someday I can break your heart.
And watch you bleed.
Well your parents, they have slaved their lives away.
For these things that you can’t appreciate.
Buy me a lock to put on my door.
Then please DON’T COME AROUND HERE NO MORE.
‘Cause you are a crazy, spoiled rotten wh*re.

Circling the Drain
More money. More drugs. More problems.
Tammi’s Gonna die.
They hooked her up to a breathing machine.
She barely made it through the night.
They say her teeth are falling out and her hair is going thin.
Her heart is barely working now.
And her chances are pretty slim.
They’re gonna try, but… Tammi’s probably gonna die.
You’re gonna cry ‘cause Tammi is gonna die.
So say goodbye now. Tammi’s really gonna die.
So say goodbye now. Tammi is gonna die.
