Can't Stop 02:00
What's that sound, all the strokes are down and it's just 3 chords and I don't want more and the stance is wide its 4/4 time and the fast eighth notes on the hi-hats fine I just don't know but the fast tempo makes me feel alive I wanna go go go! and I just don't care, all the people stare but I'm having fun while they just stand there I can't stop Can't stop Can't stop oh no and it goes so fast that it just can't last so i jump around and I have a blast all the punk kids know that a punk rock show is for good, good times not a fashion show and i'm just here once so I'll have some fun and I'll laugh and scream and just act dumb I just don't care, all the people stare I'm having fun while they just stand there I can't stop Can't stop Can't stop oh no 1-2-3-4 What's that sound, all the strokes are down and it's just 3 chords and I don't want more and the stance is wide its 4/4 time and the fast eighth notes on the hi-hats fine I just don't know but the fast tempo makes me feel alive I wanna go go go! and I just don't care, all the people stare but I'm having fun while they just stand there I can't stop Can't stop Can't stop oh no

Do you remember when we used to dance all night? Throw your head back and laugh and scream alright We'd fall into the bed and then Sleep till noon and get some food and do it all again Well I remember when you used to say you're mine In your eyes, I was surprised you were not lying We'd hold each other tight and then Sleep till noon and get some food and do it all again Oh why did it have to end? We can't we just pretend? That things are just like before and then it won't hurt anymore I remember when we used to dance all night Throw your head back and laugh and scream alright We'd hold each other tight and then Sleep till noon and get some food and do it all again Sleep till noon and get some food and do it all again Do it all again Do it all again

Tunnel Man 02:43
Running my mouth, I should bite my tongue I wanna crawl back to where I came from I can see it in your eyes, you know that I'm a ghoul Believe me baby, I hate me too Now that you see me, do you finally believe? Now you know who I am Do you want to get lost? Don' t turn back now Come hide with me under the ground This is my world, I live in shame A never ending night shift, a hopeless refrain Now that you see me, do you finally believe? Now you know who I am. It's just you and me, girl I like what i see I've got eyes in the back of my head - whoah-oh Now that you see me, do you finally believe? Now you know who I am.

E.T. Pick me 02:26
This ship is sinking, almost out of sight If this is living, there are better ways to die Faded and fading but I smile despite Looking in from the outside ET pick me I'm calling out Transmission to be free Sticks and stones may break my bones but goddamn it hurts to be alone set me free... ET pick me I fought hard but I'm swinging blind These cuts and scrapes remind me that I'm alive Looking for a sign in the stars tonight So many memories I wanna leave behind ET pick me I'm calling out transmission to be free Sticks and stones may break my bones but goddamn it hurts to be alone goddamn it hurts, I'm on my own Set me free... ET pick me ET pick me I'm calling out transmission to be free Sticks and stones may break my bones but goddamn it hurts to be alone goddamn it hurts, I'm on my own goddamn it hurts, i feel so low goddamn it hurts I wanna go... ET pick me ET pick me

S.F.G. 02:07
Going to the park tonight The kids are taking sides Only one can win and the titles on the line It happened at green square Slap shot went in the air Got him in the nose now its time to crack some bones Well you better make sure I'm down because i swing from the ground You better make sure I'm down I'll swing from the ground Beat me to my back Getaway sticks went slack Foot sweeps just won't win and the hope is crashing in Looks like you and the team Beat the wheels off me Well don't count me out if i'm bleeding on the ground Well you better make sure I'm down because i swing from the ground You better make sure I'm down I'll swing from the ground Swinging from the ground You better make sure I'm down I'll swing from the ground You better make sure I'm down I'll swing from the ground Swinging from the ground Swinging from the ground Swinging from the ground

Friday Night 01:46
I saw you standing there hanging with your friends You see me stare and you looked back over again I panicked and looked down and then you'd drink and look around and then I'd feel like such a clown 'cause it's Friday night Head to the couch and I drink a beer that I found start to relax and then look who sits down I start to get uptight and then I feel that its alright 'cause you're just trying to bum a light 'cause it's Friday Night Girl can't you see you're so groovy I can't believe your talking to me 1-2-3-4 Music's up loud so you're yelling in my ear This scenes so lame come on lets get out of here You know I think that you're right I said and you squeezed my hand real tight and everything gonna be alright 'cause it's Friday night You know I think that you're right I said and you squeezed my hand real tight and everything gonna be outta sight 'cause it's Friday night 'cause it's Friday night 'cause it's Friday night 'cause it's Friday night

I miss the ringing in my ears Counting lines on the highway as the stars disappear We raced the falcon all through the night Chasing our dreams- let the raven fly I'll meet you at the Hi-Way cafe In the heart of the fart- the rocky gateway Three chords with the Indian Police Down in the basement- disturbing the peace All summer in a day All summer in a day All summer in a day All summer in a day Danny do you copy? Whats the plan? Why are you still lying there wrapped in your afghan? Lets go back to where we begun and for a minute we'll stare at the sun All summer in a day All summer in a day All summer in a day All summer in a day We were thick as thieves, going down the drain the only place to be never be here again All summer in a day All summer in a day All summer in a day All summer in a day

Burnin' Dirt 02:19
We were burning dirt all night, burning dirt all day There's smoke in this valley, we're gonna keep it that way Machines keep on churning, crushing the ore Like a fire breathing dragon spitting lava out the door Can't stop, won't stop, we were first Can't stop, won't stop, burning dirt Can't stop, won't stop, burning dirt Burning dirt, burning dirt, burning dirt One thousand degrees, it gets hotter than hell When the ventilation gives out we hear the alarm bells They call it a muster, try to save our souls Send us back to feed the dragon, gotta patch up the holes Can't stop, won't stop, we were first Can't stop, won't stop, burning dirt Can't stop, won't stop, burning dirt Burning dirt, burning dirt, burning dirt I don't need to tell you, we'll allways believe Can you hear that sound? We're a smelter town- it's the only place I wanna be. I don't need to tell you, it's in the air we breathe Can you hear that sound? we're the Smelters now- and that's alright with me. Can't stop, won't stop, we were first Can't stop, won't stop, burning dirt Can't stop, won't stop, burning dirt Burning dirt, burning dirt, burning dirt
