Lyrics
I'm looking, for a girl for me to love;
She's the one, that I just can't stop thinking of
When I go, I want to have her by my side;
My friends say, that I talk about her all the time
Everything, was good between me and her;
And I thought we'd, be together for ever
But that was until, she met this other guy;
So I went back to my room and cried
All those things you say to me, make believe what I should be
My goal in life is to fit in, originality's a sin
But this way I feel inside, this feeling which I can confide
Is only temporary, I gave up my chance to be free
Artificial!
So here we go again, bigotry when will it end
You gave up the chance to do, all those things you wanted to
But this way I feel inside, this feeling which I can confide
Is only temporary, I gave up my chance to be free
Artificial!
You don't know me, 'cause I can't skank;
You won't show me, 'cause you think that I'm a fake
You say that you listen, but your just the same;
As those you speak out against, what a fucking game
I try to tell you what I think, but you don't care, you think it stinks
I'm not trying to fit in, but you always gota win
We got to stop fighting and quit the denying;
We got to unite under the same cause, no one to play the role of boss
Start the fighting, were gona make our move tonight
There house were lighting, they soon will recognize out might
It's gonna get better, and you can have my word on that
I'm not gona let her, cause she'll just knock me on my back
I try my best not to laugh, when you say that you understand
How could you possibly know, the burden in my hand
You tell me how I should live, the morals you learned when you
Where Just a tender young kid, Luxury I never knew
I'm doing the best that I can, and you don't understand
I'm doing it on my own, with out a place to go
There's something wrong, with me today
It seems that I, have bad taste
I'd rather hear, something smooth:
Your telling me, I gota change
Or people will think, that I am strange
It doesn't matter, anyway
That's Okay, we never liked you anyway,
It doesn't matter what the people say, we're still better than you!
It's not your thoughts I'm after, you crooked thief:
It's the fact you act more like a money driven co-operation
You'll eventually make us all pay, for our beliefs:
When you stand in front and preach it only adds to my frustration
Organize; your spiritual zombies
Centralize; on those with different ways
Casterize; anyone thats different
we're not gona take it that way
I know your looking down on me, cause I can't see:
the false idols and made-up miracles for which you kneel and pray
Yah I won't just accept it, and let it be:
Just because I don't see like you means I'll say "Come What May"
Chorus
Open Your Mind Jess [written in June, 2001]
You say that you really love your country, but you won't get respect from me
You regurgitate everything your taught, you won't ever find the key
You say your oath and then you sip your wine, and enjoy your state of peace of mind
But none of that will amount to shit, when people in Afghanistan die
Flying your flag won't get you into heaven any more,
Still you pledge your allegiance and rug the open sore
Why don't you think for yourself and do things in the name of what is right,
Not in the name of a State, a Color, or a Lie
You say that we first must solve the problems, in the land of the Red White and Blue
But Fuck That! people are people, there all just the same as you
You won't look my way, or give me the time of day
Cause I don't spike my hair, or shop at the goodwill
Well, It's not my problem that you don't fit it,
so you shut me out, bring me down, dig your beliefs in the ground,
Just as long as you, keep your scene alive
And if I'm better, it wouldn't matter
Just as long as you keep, your scene alive
keep it alive
I ask why, you do the things you do, but you won't tell me, cause you don't know why you think
The way you do, about the things you do, you don't know were to go so you go were nobody will be
Everyone thinks Ska bands are great, fucking around and playing real late:
And geting laid whenever they want, Yeh Yeh!
So I told myself i'm getting in on that, I bought an amp and a brand new white Strat:
And played some shows in parking lots
I'm leaving town on a trendy train, Myself was the towns name, now i'm taking all of the blame
Your laying down the rules, of what it takes to be cool, but you just broke the golden rule
Everything was fine with us, we'd play our shows with no fuss
Everything was cool, until that day you saw, all those things we really do
Everytime that i fall in love, I try not to let push come to shove,
But you know it always will, you gota make it a big deal, i try and try, but i won't get play tonigh:
So, we start again, but it will be the same in the end,
So many nights with wasted tears, trying to hold back my fears
Yeh i want you, so how bout' you
I did, what you told me to
I try, and try to get some play tonight, but you brush me off
I remember a time when i was a kid,
i used to dream about what true love really is
Then one day i grew up to find out, that all it was
A bunch of bull shit, "just because"
I'm looking through my rear view mirror, just to make sure that your there, but you know your never there
I want to find out what love means, only what it means to me, but you don't care......You Don't Care
I want something more than just a one-night stand,
i want to embrace someone's heart in my hand
Not gona throw away something that,
Can get shattered with one, one night stand
Chorus
I took a walk in town today,
And i realized just how poor are they
They the old, wandering without a clue,
Still they tell me what to do, I don't want to say:
I've been so many places, I've seen so places, but none of that, will amount to shit,
When little kids are dieing, little babies fuckin' crying, none of that, will amount to shit
None of that, will amount to shit, when little kids, are fucking dieing, little kids, are fucking crying, Yeh
So now i live my life how,
Will make my soul and conscious proud
But soon you tug and pull my arm,
Just to lower me to wear you are
But do you know your living with, all the things that you've done before, but what's it for?
You had the chance i had, and i will make see the way, that you were Their whore
None of that, will amount to shit, when you live, with your regrets and you'll die, with all of your regrets
We (the youth) are alright, we're okay, we don't have to follow in their wake
She's walking down the street, with a bible in her hand, she'll never know, what it took to say "Amen"
But still she speaks, and preaches about the love she has for me, if i get on my knee,
I say, "I haven't found it out yet, but still you ask me, to submit my heart, release an aw so precious part of my well-being. Why do you think you know, about some things that you'll never go."
We're okay now, we maybe on the streets, but still we're clear and proud.
We're okay now, don't fuck with the beat
She walking down the street, with a bottle in her hand, she'll never know, what it takes to get a hand
But still she drinks, and swallows away her aw so precious year, she don't got tears, so instead she screams out loud
So let's all get Okay, right now, it don't take much, just follow your heart, but your afraid you may not be a part, but don't just lay down, the only ones you need, are those who can see in your heart
Chorus
Yeh, i think your cute
But it shouldn't come as a suprise to you
It never was a question, it was ment in a rhetorical sense;
i know you know about your body
it's evedent just by the way you act
but still you say you want me, when it comes to love you make no sense
People say i'm crazy cause i'm turning down your invitation, but it's the same one i've seen before
Mabey first you should figure out excactly what it is your after, Don't Bother Me No More!

.................Ask Brad................
For those of you who were wondering, yes, a lot of the titles don't have anything to do with the content of the lyrics, and yes, some of the titles aren't even real words. But to that i say that you need to worry less about some things label and more about that things content. Shakespeare wrote "What's in a name, that which is a rose by any other name will sill smell as sweet". Maybe the world would be a better place if people would take the time to see want life is made up of, and not toiling over the "title" of themselves or something else.
Now that i answered your question, why don't you answer one of mine.........why are you looking WAY down hear!!!
