I'VE BEEN DIGGIN' LIKE A DOG IN THE DIRT,
A BEACHSIDE GRAVE SO I CAN DROWN IN THE SURF.
'COS I'VE BEEN TRYIN', I'VE BEEN PUTTING IN WORK,
BUT I CAN'T SEEM TO GET AHEAD.
I LEFT MY MIND TO ROT,
NEXT TO MY REPUTATION.
IT ALL GOES TO SHOW YOU CAN TRY SO HARD
IT'LL GET YOU..
NOW I'M SHAKIN' LIKE A BOTTLE OF BEER
AND I'M PISSED OFF LIKE I'M THE NEW BRIGHTON PIER
FEELS LIKE I'M DUMB, YEAH, I'VE GOT NOTHIN' UPSTAIRS.
EMPTY HEART AND AN EMPTY HEAD.
I LEFT MY MIND TO ROT,
NEXT TO MY REPUTATION.
IT ALL GOES TO SHOW YOU CAN TRY SO HARD
IT'LL GET YOU..
I LEFT MY DREAMS TO DIE
VICTIMS OF COMPLICATION.
IT ALL GOES TO SHOW YOU CAN TRY SO HARD
IT'LL GET YOU..
NOWHERE
IT GETS YOU
NOWHERE
IT GETS YOU
NOWHERE,
NOWHERE AT ALL.
AND I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT MY BAD REPUTATION.

IT"S FINALLY SUMMER, LET'S GO AND CELEBRATE.
LET'S GET FUCKED UP AND STAY UP REAL LATE.
TWIST THIS SHIT AND HOTBOX YOUR CAR,
WHILE WE LISTEN TO SOME WEEZER AND PLAY AIR GUITAR.
IN THE SUMMER

IN THE SUMMER
(in the summer)
IT'LL BE ALRIGHT
WORK IS OVER, AND NOW I'VE GOT THREE WEEKS.
TO EAT PIZZA, DRINK BEER AND PISS IN THE STREET.
UNTIL THE PARTY'S OVER, AND WE STILL WANT MORE.
REALISE ITS JUST A SHORT WALK TO ROB THE LIQUOR STORE.
IN THE SUMMER
(in the summer)
IN THE SUMMER

IT'LL BE ALRIGHT
IT WILL BE ALRIGHT
(it'll be just fine)
IT WILL BE JUST FINE
(we keep wasting our time)
KEEP WASTING OUR TIME
(never fall in love or line)
FALL IN LOVE OR LINE

I DON'T REALLY FEEL LIKE GOING OUT NOW,
YOU KNOW I'D RATHER BE AT HOME ALONE.
YEAH, I'D RATHER BE SQUARE, THAN TO PRETEND I CARE,
'BOUT SOME PEOPLE I DON'T WANNA KNOW.
AND I'M NOT SAYING THAT THERE'S NOONE WORTH KNOWING,
BUT THE WORLD'S FULL OF LIARS AND CROOKS.
BUT I'M SAFE HERE INSIDE, DREAMIN' 'BOUT KITTY PRYDE
WHILE IM READING X-MEN COMIC BOOKS

I TOOK MY GUITAR AND I WENT TO THE YARD
DOESN'T THIS SOUND LIKE A BAD IDEA?
I DUG A HOLE SO I COULD SELL MY SOUL
DOESN'T THIS SOUND LIKE A BAD IDEA?
I SPIT SOME SICK SHIT, 666.
CALL OUT THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST.
AND THROUGH THE GRASS, LIKE BROKEN GLASS
HE CAME AND GRABBED ME BY THE FEET.
AND DOWN, DOWN WE FELL, DOWN TO HELL
THE DEVIL AND ME.
AS TIME SEEMED TO STOP, AS WE DROPPED
FOR ETERNITY.
I TOOK MY GUITAR AND I WENT TO THE YARD
DOESN'T THIS SOUND LIKE A BAD IDEA?
I DUG A HOLE SO I COULD SELL MY SOUL
DOESN'T THIS SOUND LIKE A BAD IDEA?
IN THE DEEP, DARK SOUTH, IN A BIG, BLACK HOUSE
HE TREATS ME JUST LIKE ROYALTY.
HE COOKS A FEAST, THEN I FALL ASLEEP
ON A PULL-OUT COUCH WITH A BIG TV.
BLACK FLAG AND NECROS
REGULAR SHOW ON DVD
WE BECAME BEST FRIENDS, IN THE END
I VISIT EVERY WEEK

burn well

I HEARD THAT THERE'S A PLACE
THAT WE ALL GO WHEN WE EXPIRE,
AND ONCE MY BODY'S IN THE GROUND
THE REST IS DESTINED FOR THE FIRE
FOR ALL THE LIES THAT I HAVE TOLD,
FOR ALL THE TIMES I PLAYED PARIAH
I WILL BURN, YEAH I WILL BURN.
AT FIRST ADVERSE TO THE IDEA
BUT NOW I CAN'T WAIT TO KEEL OVER.
SOLD MY SOUL FOR ROCK AND ROLL
I GAVE MY TEETH TO COCA-COLA.
DONE SEARCHING THROUGH THE STEMS AND SEEDS
TO FIND A FUCKIN' FOUR-LEAF CLOVER
I'M NOT CONCERNED, JUST LET ME BURN.
COS WHEN I BURN, I WILL BURN WELL.
JUST LIKE A RADIATA PINE TREE DOWN IN HELL.
I'LL LET THE DEVIL AND HIS CREW ALL CROWD AROUND.
NOT USUALLY ONE FOR MAKING FRIENDS, BUT TIME WILL TELL.
