## Albums
### Ignition

* Don't know how it got this way, I don't know how long she's gonna stay. But every week it's the same, in her room and that's why I came.
** Session
* Pull the shades, razor blades. You're so tragic, hate you so, love you more, I'm so elastic. The things you say, the games you play.
** Dirty Magic

### Smash

* You gotta keep 'em separated
** Come Out And Play
* Now I'll relate this little bit That happens more than I'd like to admit Late at night she knocks on my door She's drunk again and looking to score Oh I know I should say no but It's kind of hard when she's ready to go I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb I'm just a sucker with no self esteem
** Self Esteem
* Drivers are rude Such attitudes But when I show my piece Complaints cease Something's odd Feel like I'm god You stupid dumbshit goddamned motherfucker!
** Bad Habit
* Smash is the way you feel all alone, Like an outcast you're out on your own. Smash is the way you deal with your life, Like an outcast you're smashing your strife
** Smash
* Head over heels I've fit in before, Now I don't wanna do it no more, I wanna be who I wanna be, I guess it's hard for others to see
** Smash

### Ixnay On The Hombre

* Me and my old lady sit and sip on wine. And when she says she loves me, well, I say that love is blind.
** Me & My Old Lady
* It's cool to hate! I don't like nothing, and I like that fine.
** Cool To Hate
* I just don't want to be controlled, that's all I want!
** All I Want
* And it feels Yea it feels like Heaven's so far away And it stings Yea it stings now The world is so cold Now that you've gone away.
** Gone Away

### Americana

* Have you ever walked through a room/But it was more like the room passed around you
** Have You Ever
* Have you ever felt like there was more/Like someone else was keeping score/And what could make you whole was simply out of reach
** Have You Ever
* When the truth walks away, everybody stays/'Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay
** Have You Ever
* 'Cause I'd like to think the world is a better place/I'd like to leave the world as a better place/I'd like to think the world...
** Have You Ever
* Give it to me baby, uh-huh, uh-huh
** Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)
* And all the girlies say I'm pretty fly for a white guy

** Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)
* There's more to livin' than only survivin'/Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still tryin'…
** Staring at the Sun
* Chances thrown/ Nothing's free/ Longing for what used to be/ Still it's hard/ Hard to see/ Fragile lives, shattered dreams
** The Kids Aren't Alright
* Where culture's defined by the ones least refined/And you'll be left behind if you don't fit in/It's all distorted in Americana my way/Well fuck you!
** Americana
* My right are denied by those least qualified/Trading profit for pride/But it's OK
** Americana
* My nightmare has come true/My nightmare has come true/Yeah, it's all coming true
** Americana
* The Man is making little bets/Playing with our lives
** Pay the Man
* Look at you and your struggle for freedom/But you ain't nothing/We all pay the Man for living
** Pay the Man
* Shut up, you talk too much/Pay the Man
** Pay the Man
