A new empire of rhythm and beat Said to be outdated, but far from obsolete Founded on beer, fun and lack of respect Those things you call standards, we choose to reject 002) Heaven In A Bottle

Holy sh*t, what has become of me To be so far from sobriety? It’s two A.M., and time to hit the liquor store Drunk as f*ck and wanting some more…

Hornsby, O.E., J.D.

Pounding them down and drinking them fast You know your friends, the beer won’t last Twist the cap off and take a big swig Get f*cked up with Gigolo Big

Stupidly drunk with all of my friends Hoping these times won’t come to an end F*ck that shit and live for today Because all these memories are here to stay

Hornsby, O.E., J.D. 003) Dejanos Tocar

Tener cuidado a lo que te acerca Un estilo difirente a lo que amos ska Con un ritmo de energia que te va mover Tratar de insulternos pero no vas a poder

Huh, huh! Two, three! Let’s go! Gigolo!

Levantate de tu culo y ponte a bailar No te preocupas y dejanos tocar La ultimo a cosa que qui sierra decir Que todos disfrutan a los vamos salir

*(English Translation) Take heed of that which approaches you A different style, the master of ska With an energy rate that will move you Try to insult us, but you won’t be able to

Get up off your ass and dance Don’t worry about it, just let us play I come down from the mountain to say That all will enjoy or we’re going to leave 004) Thirteenth And Broadway

He’s a real old man with a pipe in his hand Sitting on the corner, eating a can of Spam He’s telling me this and telling me that, But he ain’t saying nothing, just yak, yak, yak

She’s a back-street lover on a Saturday night But she ain’t going down without a fight She’s packing three cans of mace and a knife to boot She’ll treat you real nice then take your loot

These people are living in their own reality Who the f*ck stole their mentality They’ve given up on life, they don’t know how to act Wandering aimlessly, searching for the facts

They’ve got a three-room shack at the end of the street Where the crack-heads go when they need a treat But times were hard and business was slow So they turned their little girl into a ho

He’s a smart young man with a simple plan To make a lot of money as fast as he can Now he’s slinging rock and packing heat Just another day when you live on the streets

These people are living in their own reality Who the f*ck stole their mentality They’ve given up on life, they don’t know how to act Wandering aimlessly, searching for the facts 005) Sun Goddess

Six-foot-three and so uncoordinated She plays a sport that’s overrated One look at her, I should’ve known from the start That this was the girl who could spike my heart

She’s big and muscular, she’s got no t*ts Wears a bathing suit that doesn’t quite fit She’s big, she’s tough, she’s really mean But everybody’s glad when she’s on their team

She hangs out at the beach with the boys who surf She always toes the line with her jump serve

Ray-Ban promotions all over her suit ‘Cause that’s the only way she can make her loot You know I shouldn’t complain, it works out for me Because her money buys me my Old Milwaukee There’s always sand in her panties, constantly tan She enjoys getting dirty way down in the sand As ugly as you are you still mean a lot to me But a Gabrielle Riesse you will never be

She hangs out at the beach with the boys that surf She always toes the line with her jump serve 006) (Intro From "Do You Wanna Know A Secret?) Keep An Open Mind - Page 1

The state of the world today is a mess The way hate yearns to oppress Oppress an open mind without much to say I don’t want to sound cliché, …but We’ve lived in this country so godd*mned long Can’t we all just get along Then I wouldn’t have to sing this song Yeah, why do I have to sing this song

There’s still existing segregation In what we call “This Great Nation” Just look around your community Do you see any unity? Within all races and colors Within the rich and the poor I hope you’re looking hard my brothers Then I won’t need to say anymore

Keep an open mind Don’t let hate win Keep and open mind We’re all the same kin Keep an open mind Don’t let ignorance make you blind

The youth of today need to speak out To reach to those closed and in doubt Not tomorrow or the next day, or whenever The time is now, we should all stick together Go out on a limb, be different from the rest Don’t let the cancer manifest You know what they say, “Good Will Towards Men,” Then maybe this shit could come to an end 006) Keep An Open Mind - Page 2

We’re all held liable for the things we do The decisions we make, the words we use The way you were raised is no excuse Everyone has their own right to choose Try to stop the hate, what’s there to lose? Try to stop the bigotry and racial abuse Everyone be one, this means you too ‘Cause today is the day we’re going to see this through

Keep an open mind Don’t let hate win Keep and open mind We’re all the same kin Keep an open mind Don’t let ignorance make you blind 007) Fed Up - Page 1

Oh sh*t, this is it Its about something that we need to fix All the kids going home with bloody lips Well I think I’ll step back and let Ed drop this

I think I’ve just had enough Of the stupid kids trying to act tough When they go to shows and f*ck it up For the people like me who are so fed up…

Fed up with the violence Fed up with the fights Let’s all dance together And have a good night

When the beat picks up, it becomes a mess Now who do you think you’re ‘gonna impress Some dumb b*tch or maybe a friend You need a new attitude to kick in It’s all about unity and letting it flow Not getting rowdy and throwing elbows So just remember for the next show The violence has to go

Fed up with the violence Fed up with the fights Let’s all dance together And have a good night

You’re the king of the pit but I spit on your crown You build yourself up by beating others down People don’t move because of fear And the kids can’t dance ‘til they’re in the clear If this is your idea of having fun You’re days on the dance floor will soon be done I think this time I’ve said enough You should know by now that I’m so fed up… 007) Fed Up - Page 2

Fed up with the violence Fed up with the fights Let’s all dance together And have a good night

Now a show can be so much fun When we all join together and become one With the dance floor filled with energy and sweat And you’ve got a cold beer to keep your mouth wet Now take a minute before you react And think about the things that are holding us back From reaching a unified reality We need to escape this barbaric mentality 008) Call On My Brothers

Lie on the floor waiting to see Who’s ‘gonna pick me up in this time of need So many came and went, but you were there for me ‘Cause you were more than a friend, you were family

So many years went by, since I’ve seen your face Worlds apart in an unfamiliar place Separated by time, joined by brotherhood We had our fallouts, but my love for you still stood

I know that things have changed I know we’re more mature Smile at the pictures when we were back in school Someone once said to me, “trust doesn’t go too far” I beg to differ because I know who my friends are

It’s late at night, with no school The ones who were down were those who ruled I’m proud with my face in the ground You were somewhere else, no lost and found One more night to make it yours Make it yours…

Know who your friends are! 009) C.C. Dreamgirl

Hey there, rude girl, looking so good Short black hair and Doc Marten boots Walking alone to class everyday Wanting to speak to her but can’t find a way Stroll right passed me so many times Hoping someday she’d glance up and catch my eye How I wish to be noticed by you But that damn rude girl doesn’t have a clue

Flight jacket on, patched up from sleeve to sleeve When I think about you girl, you know I can’t sleep Checkerboard skirt, black stockings, your tongue is pierced You like to hang out, smoke pot, drink lots of beer, Listen to ska, go to shows, and having fun Skanking it up, no pit so there’s no fights As you drive by, stereo blasting Skatalites If I don’t have you girl, I’m ‘gonna die

She seems to be real cool, laid back and smart Stunning eyes, tattoos, picture-perfect smile My friends tell me, “Ed go up and talk to her Why the hell are you scared of your dream girl?” “I don’t know,” I answer stupidly Maybe someday she’ll come up and talk to me Got to take action now, it’s all in my hands Before my rude girl slips off with another man 010) One Damn Song

I let her slip away again It can never work out, we’re only good friends She says, “How many times has this happened before?” When I think it’s getting serious she just walks out the door

Why am I so afraid of her, I ask? These godd*mned insecurities! Know my faults but still repeat my past What the hell is wrong with me! When will I be more than just a friend? Who will take me seriously? This fear inside must soon come to an end Before I lose my sanity

I should’ve told you how I felt When I had the chance, before you sent me to hell. Oh well! Now I sit here wondering why With these could’ve, would’ve, should’ve’s stuck in my mind

Just think of you and me, Now I guess we’ll never know Because you’re gone, and I’m just a f*ckin’ memory The times we could have had, If only I had bravery Held back by self-esteem, Don’t have any sympathy, no 011) Funk Song

Traditional Instrumental 012) F.T.F. Theory - Page 1

I never had the chance to leave you I never thought that I could believe you ‘Cause you tried to put the blame on me The reason’s why I’ll never see Guess who’s looking for me Your big, bad ex-boyfriend

If he finds me, this could be the f*cking end, I think that I have learned my lesson Make sure you know, who you’re messin’ with It could turn out to burn you Especially if she lives next door to you.

This is why you don’t sleep with your neighbor This is why you don’t sleep with your neighbor Do yourself a favor, Don’t sleep with your neighbor my friend

Maybe we should just be friends Why don’t you just kick me in the jaw She just left to go for a walk There should be some motherf*cking law

I’m getting tired of hearing excuses Beginning to think that you are useless You’re the type of girl that drives a man to drinking Here’s what I’m thinking Everything you say is stinking I know my attitude is rude I might come off lewd I guess that’s why, I guess that’s why I guess that’s why we f*cking feud

You and me, we can’t coexist We fuss and fight, we use our feet and fists, I know, I know we can never be And that’s how I came up with this theory 012) F.T.F. Theory - Page 2

I can’t seem to break your spell It’s like I’m trapped in a living hell I turn my head, you’re always there Please release me from your world of despair I’m still waiting for the day that you say, “I’m ‘gonna leave today.” Because I know, I know we’re better off that way But you don’t, I still press on Sometimes I wish that you were f*cking gone.

This is why you don’t sleep with your neighbor This is why you don’t sleep with your neighbor Do yourself a favor, Don’t sleep with your neighbor my friend 013) Split Decision - Page 1

Don’t want to fight the global authority Just want to be in the drunken minority I know my hands are tied I know that we’ve been lied to Couldn’t get the power back now, Not even if we wanted to Desperate times call for desperate measures You have to dig deep if you want to get that treasure Don’t need no plan, I’ll leave it all behind I’ll destroy myself before they ever take my mind…

It’s not that I don’t care Your revolution, it’s going nowhere It’s not that I don’t care I just prefer some unity Yeah, you and me We can both be free Kind of sad to see you, Throw it all away

Try to hold my brother’s hand, but he slaps me in the face I just don’t understand Tells me to be a man and learn how to fight, No need for that man, I’ll just drink all night Don’t have no time for your foolish games When will you realize that we are both the same Don’t ‘wanna be nobody’s toy ‘Cause I can create so much more than you’ll ever destroy

It’s not that I don’t care Your revolution, it’s going nowhere It’s not that I don’t care I just prefer some unity Yeah, you and me We can both be free Kind of sad to see you, Throwing it all away 013) Split Decision - Page 2

It’s not that I don’t care Your revolution, it’s going nowhere It’s not that I don’t care I just prefer some unity

As the battle rages on You’ll find out that you’ve become a pawn In a game much bigger than both of us, With no understanding, no one left to trust

But I’ll be there until the end Whether you care or not, I am your friend And you can walk away, turn your back on me But just remember, the truth will set you free

It’s not that I don’t care Your revolution, it’s going nowhere It’s not that I don’t care I just prefer some unity 014) Deal With It

Seven years ago today My countdown to frustration began But instead of facing my fears I just turned tail and… Ran away, tried to hide Responsibilities denied for now Some other day, ‘til then I’ll have to say that…

Everyone needs some time To be on their own, to clear their mind Take all the sh*t, deal with it Rip it apart and build it back again

I never wanted any of this Now I realize that it’s all I need And I will feed off your aggression ‘Cause it’s plain to see That I will get by, no matter how hard I’ve tried To drag myself back down Things always seem Things always seem to turn around

Everyone needs some time To be on their own, to clear their mind Take all the sh*t, deal with it Rip it apart and build it back again 015) I'll Be Just Fine

Girl, I miss you so damn much But I know we shouldn’t keep in touch And I’m not sure how you feel But I’d like to think that it was real Because the times we had will last Even though we’ve grown up fast And if I ever cross your mind Don’t worry about me, I’ll be just fine

And all the stupid things that you said You know they kind of went to my head I was worried for some time But then I realized I’ll be just fine

I didn’t know there’d be hell to pay If I decided to walk away But now I see how things work Nobody wins, everyone gets hurt This was not my intention, you see I just wanted to be happy You treat me like I committed a crime That’s okay, I’ll be just fine

And all the stupid things that you said You know they kind of went to my head I was worried for some time But then I realized I’ll be just fine 016) Time To Move On

They didn’t think I had the guts to get away, But now I’m gone, and I’m here to stay, I get to go back every once in awhile, But all I can do is look around and just smile Because even though I knew the memories would last I had to push aside my fears and get away from the past I didn’t know if I could do it, I was so scared, But I knew that if I didn’t, I would more than likely rot there

I used to think that there was nothing I could do I thought that I would probably end up there with you But then I realized, it was time to move on So I packed up what I needed, and finally… …I was gone.

When I left I knew my life would change eventually But I didn’t expect for it to be so hard on me When the pressure had risen, and new problems arose I had nowhere to turn, the people I trusted weren’t even close Now my new friends tried to help when things went wrong But I just shut them out and tried to get through it on my own When I found that approach just didn’t work, I changed my mind I opened up the door to my thoughts and invited people inside

Now he knew that there was something he had to find So he picked it all up and left it all behind Didn’t know where he was going, Or what that something was, What he found was a life most people only dream of… 017) My Day Off - Page 1

Alarm went off at noon, but I slept ‘til one I was up all night, just trying to have some fun My boss-man calls me, says, “Can you come in?” I say, “Hell no, man! What you smoking?”

‘Cause this is my day off, yeah This is my day off Don’t want to work today So keep your pay-off ‘Cause this is my day off, yeah This is my day off Don’t want to work today So keep your pay-off Man, I woke up too late I’ve got a splitting headache My whole body aches Can’t even think straight

So I lace up my shoes, I’m out the door at two To hit the gas station so I could buy some brew This guy steps up to me and says, “Whatcha looking at?” I said, “Your girlfriend.” Then he took a swipe at my hat

This is my day off, yeah This is my day off Don’t want to fight you, man So won’t you lay off This is my day off, yeah This is my day off Don’t want to fight you, man So won’t you lay off Got better things to do Thank to fight with you. Ain’t got nothing to prove So what you ‘gonna do? 017) My Day Off - Page 2

And now the time has come for me to go to sleep Tomorrow’s another day, the start of another week And time after time, I’m stuck back at the grind, Trying everyday not to lose my mind

This is my day off, yeah This is my day off Can’t wait ‘til next week, yeah Another day off This is my day off, yeah This is my day off Can’t wait ‘til next week, yeah Another day off And now I’m feeling fine ‘Cause the day was mine The day rolled on and on Its just a day gone 018) Thanks For The Sticker

Rude-boy you claim and really dislike me With your pork pies, full suits and girls with Chelsea’s Unlike me you think you’re so into ska But it’s fashion you’re into – you don’t care at all Don’t dance at shows ‘cause I guess you’re too cool Look down on me, but tell me who’s the real fool?

Every time when I see you at shows I feel the tension and your stares are cold Showing off your brand new kicks Black and white Doc Marten wing tips It’s tough to say why we can’t get along Preach unity, although your hatred’s so strong

You walk through life with your nose in the air You look down on me, I think it’s really unfair When will you see, I’m not your enemy We’ve got to live in total equality 019) Moons Over My Hammy

I took a look at my watch, it reads a quarter ‘til three I’m coming home from a show I really wanted to see The music was great and I’m as drunk as can be And now I realize there’s only one more stop for me

A place where I’m welcome any time of the day Don’t want no rack of lamb, caviar or soufflé A Grand Slam or Delidinger will do me just fine For $1.99, are you out of your mind?

So I go into the light with its fluorescent glow Grab the change from my pocket, and I’m ready to go Its where the grease on the walls is two-inches thick And all the waitresses have too much hair on their lip

A place where I’m welcome any time of the day Don’t want no rack of lamb, caviar or soufflé A Charleston Chicken Sandwich will do me just fine For $1.99, are you out of your mind?

Now I sit down in a booth and I light up a smoke The waitress brings me my food and I almost choke Because the burger was three times the normal size But the b*tches in the kitchen did me wrong on the fries

A place where I’m welcome any time of the day Don’t want no rack of lamb, caviar or soufflé A Super Bird or Sampler will do me just fine For $1.99, are you out of your mind? 020) Days Gone By

Who would have ever thought I would grow up, Become an adult, begin to grow old? When did I leave my youth behind me? It seems like only yesterday I was nine

When did my youth leave me When did I take on maturity My youth went by so godd*mned fast That bright-eyed kid is in the past I couldn’t wait to grow up And leave my youth behind me Now, all I have are these days gone by

I wish I was back, yeah, back in the day When I cared about the summer Couldn’t sleep on Christmas Eve It’s just another day now, it’s all the same to me It’s just another day now, it’s all the same to me

I used to live life on my own terms These childhood memories still burn Sometimes I just look back and cry Look back at my wonderful days gone by

Traditional Instrumental 022) Second Chance

Stuck in line waiting for the train to pass Another hour late, I’m still kicking back I’ll say I’m waiting for you, but you know that I left To find another girl of rain to melt with

One too many times, too many things gone wrong It won’t happen to me, although I’m scared I never thought I’d watch you beg me to stay Just remembered, I packed up and walked away

I’m happily packed up, and you’re ready to go The way apologies go, the one I used to know But, I could sense your sensitivity, but You should’ve thought about that Before you cheated on me

Stuck in line waiting for the train to pass Another hour late, I’m still kicking back I’ll say I’m waiting for you, but you know that I left To find another girl of rain to melt with

No regrets, no tears, no redemption I know you hate me now, but we’re better this way Just think of all the good that will come from this An extra pillow and more room on the bed

Get off your knees, you know what I don’t care for And tough in case, you ho, you think its fair I know you really want your rock-star back but Don’t ever think you’ll get a second chance

Stuck in line waiting for the train to pass Another hour late, I’m still kicking back I’ll say I’m waiting for you, but you know that I left To find another girl of rain to melt with 023) Just Wait – Page 1

Even though you are so far away I can see you every day Your face is planted in my mind Your hair, those lips, your philosophy We’ll only grow through summer Together forever with me in good time I never thought I could feel this way again You made it too hard to pretend That I don’t care, I was scared But then I let myself be loved, I’ll be there

I know we had some thoughts before Had no idea what’s in store To think we’d ever make it right We traded shots and took revenge “Go to hell,” that’s what we said The only thing we did we’ll despise

Then the summer passed And it was time for me to leave But I knew your heart in my sweet dreams I traveled going, overflowing, never knowing If I missed my chance, I’ll be there

The ache in my heart is begging for release It’s screaming for help, can you help me please? Let’s get up and go and leave the world behind Break away from inhibitions and you’ll find That there’s a new life to begin Where no one loses, everybody wins 023) Just Wait - Page 2

The aching began when I sat there only ‘cause I Thought that I remembered her the other day A thousand miles that separate us “Declared” is what each other said Just think it through is what we said Now things won’t always be like this And then I finally get to kiss those lips Your head, whatever I can, please understand To wait for bliss, Remember this

I’m stuck at a crossroad and I Can’t decide which way I need to go Never thought I’d be in this predicament again Everything lost, no way to win It could just be another bump in the road Need to take a step back ,let things unfold Or is it full-speed ahead to get on with my life Forget all my sorrow, give in to the spite

It’s funny how some things never change Pointing all the fingers when you’re to blame Take a look around, see what’s really going on You will find out that you’re attitude is wrong Always open your mouth, instead of your ears Concealing all the tension and hiding the fear Rather put it off now, and hope in the end You don’t lose your mind, and all of your friends

Decisions to be made, no time to relax Get a grip on what you’re thinking Make up your mind, and get the hell out Or make the best of your situation

Up in the room, doesn’t matter which way I go To lay a piece of my mind, the way I take it slow I cannot see proper, my problem is probably Following me eternally, unfortunately

Open my eyes, try to see the way This indecision of mine, blocking my sight Open my eyes just to look around to see Proper insanity is breaking me down 024) Stuck - Page 2

In a perfect world, this wouldn’t happen Starting a new life, and leaving your friends But unfortunately, this is reality Where this whole charade is no more fun for me Now you almost know how strongly I care For you in my heart, and how I wish to be there But I’ve made up my mind, there’s no turning back I just hope I’m on the right track

Decisions to be made, no time to relax Get a grip on what you’re thinking Make up your mind, and get the hell out Or make the best of your situation
