Walking down the road Wondering when it ends Don't even have a dime To put a new song in my head Asking myself how To be pretty for the gig I was counting on my beard But every kid is wearing it I got a 20 dollar bill I picked up a beach ball skin jacket My look is so precious So I bought the beach ball skin jacket Been walking for so long I'm leaving this town Still don't have a dime To put a new song in my head Wondering to myself how To look cool after the show I was counting on tattoos But all the kids are wearing them I got a 20 dollar bill I picked up a beach ball skin jacket My look is so precious So I bought the beach ball skin jacket But ain't got damn roses on my neck I'm taking care of myself Cause what the crowd thinks means a lot to me It's my insecurity You gotta be better than what you really are Act like someone else You'll feel better to be another one Cause what's deep inside of you Cover it up with a beach ball skin jacket Ain't got no fucking money But I bought the beach ball skin jacket Ain't got no any bitch fans But I wear the beach ball skin jacket The one that all the kids wanna get

I work from 6 to 2 Got a lot of things to do Days are filled with shit Got to make things fit Clock's still, RUNNING FAST Hurry up you'll finish last I'm on my way to go to bed My head's running low I'm dead Workaholic, lyricist is out of order Can't get it done so sing old words A narcissist, would make our days even longer So now it's time to sing new words I tried on all my shoes Nothing really fit It seems like days are shorter So pretty much I'm feeling older I'll make things right Before my days are over I'll make it right To show the world I'm better
3.
I can't stop dreaming of tomorrow My world goes black in sorrow I ain't got any options left I'm cracking all the matches Step in line and wait they shoot an arrow Standing in front of what's coming first I can't tell you what could be worst I ain't got any guts to say what the hell is on my way Can't define good and bad, got to rehearse I'm walking alone Breaking my bones Every time I close my eyes Feeling alone When I'm here, I survive Standing amongst one another like best friends Walking alone On the highway of hope Raise your fist, in the air You are here, for either one of us We thank you Raise your kid, all alone Do your best, like she did by herself In the past, I can't hide All the pain, stuck inside My heart goes in sudden death In game seven Get that crowd and sing out loud We don't get fancy about mistakes Fuck doubts, get emotions out An only child from broken home All that shit doesn't come alone

In a country mile away From sovereignty grew up The kids of yesterday Who made the choice of diggin' up Mistakes from the past Can't make us finish last We are french But that's how we sing the blues Waking up The dead from above Punk is not a language Sing what you're proud of Wake them up My head's harder than stone Punk is not a trend Feel it in your bones Don't lose sleep over me Grab a glass of anything Come sing this song Don't be so mean Together we could have some fun So let's sing the blues We do what our hearts are trained to do Without approval, from you

Tu vois bien que j'feel tout croche J'ris même plus d'mes jokes poches Même le chat s'tient loin d'moi J'ai envi d'être lancé comme une roche Je ferais même pas 3-4 bonds De toutes façons j'trouverais pas le fond Si c'était moi la loi, Je m'enfermerais dans une prison Tu vois bien que j'feel tout croche C'est octobre qui me rend moche Mes amis sont partis au bout du monde Pendant que moi j'rush Ma tête fait même plus de son Mon coeur dit de changer de ton Si c'était moi le roi, J'me crisserais en bas du donjon I don't want to live like a shadow of myself I want to make sure you're not aiming for someone else So don't pull the curtain We got many songs to write I don't want to live like a shadow of myself

Here's a song to make a record feel like yours Dodge the road, take shortcuts that lead to the end You're the meaning why this set-up's still alive Your voices made the beat took control of the night Of our lives... Hard days writing songs One's head in the clouds Making out of date rhymes Shuffling cards, on and on Whistle riffs but can't get on Selling tee's to pay the bills Driving miles away from home Not even enough to fill the tank SLEEPING on a basement floor Every road leads to Rome Instead the one's heading for you Fall back in reverse, play for free

Dear Wayne, Twenty years ago, I was a star too Got my stick, 99 on it We played twice a day On the street we got scars and bruises for you Only rain could have broke game, we got no rules Time out there's a car Trying to get goals but I'm clearly not as good as you are The brothers are making it easy They're reaching three stars We aren't so stupid, we know the line to follow We make baby steps, making wrap arounds Ready to step in line and follow Like buying a pack of ProSet On the street we got scars and bruises for you Only rain could have broke game, we got no rules Timeout there's a car Ball's rolling out too far Our life is on a hold Until this fucking car drives by Let's finish what's we've started Before their mom yells out; Come home for dinner On the street we got scars and bruises for you Only rain could have broke game, we got no rules On the street we dream of what else we could do Cause no one knows to handle life like you handle pucks

You should have saved me Before I burned my heart away I should hate you for this But it helped for writing shit You broke the dreams of a bad boy Of an unstable asshole That painted walls in black You gave power to the man To set fire to his heart And learned another way to dance I've never been that dick You tried to cast a spell on me I've been so wrong to SPLIT MY HEART IN TWO Cause that made me feel like shit
9.
Stay up, at the church Begging for meal to eat It's warnings disease Pray for the best to come So much love Love stuck inside Can't find a better place to hide It's a foreign body But I can't make it running a mile One day the bias will fall to the ground Don't kill the boy inside the man You gotta do what's right, not what's easy One day the bias will fall to the ground Let's break the rules you're standing for I killed the man now it's only you and me Stop walking like soldier Start running just the way you are Your life is a disaster Get up, save your soul and kick'em all I can't afford, the way to sing my life Everything is pre-conceived to be checkmate I can't afford, the way to disguise my life Smoking dust, eating cocaine and rustiness I can't afford, a life that isn't mine What I told you ain't so close to the fucking truth I can't afford, a new way to sing my life FUCK YOU

You haven't been here for many years Sad looks on their faces Doesn't mean that much to you You look great, your fragile hair You got all the pain in the world on your shoulders How could this happen to you What's wrong with the world I once knew Please don't give up, I swear it's worth it Come get someone who deserves this I swear to god I'll try hard to make this end Stop eating chemo for breakfast I have kids, health is on their side It feels wrong, they can't share it with all of you I give you the strength you need to make it through With a song I cannot write without shedding tears How could this happen to you What's wrong with the world I once knew My heart has set itself in anger I'm the angriest man ever They have their whole life in front of them Drop the mitts, beat this fucking cancer
