single: "Who We Are" (2018)

Who We Are lyrics - Descendents

Woke up this morning to a different world
They're stomping on immigrants and groping girls
There's nothing American about us now
A whole population driven underground

But I still believe in our democracy
Warts and all it's still the land of the free
So take it outside, shout it loud as you can
Defend the rights of every woman and man

That's who we are
That's how I feel
That's who we are
Hey, can't you feel it getting real?
That's who we are
That's how I feel
That's who we are
Can't you feel, can't you feel?

In times like this we oughta stay together
But they just pitted us against each other
Just give it some time though and you will see
That we all have a common enemy

It's the man who says it's okay to hate
But we know that hate will destroy this place
So right now I'm asking you to join our side
And take a stand to fight for what's right

That's who we are (Strength in difference)
That's how I feel
That's who we are (Be the resistance)
Can't you feel it getting real?
That's who we are (Unite for justice)
That's how I feel
That's who we are (It isn't just us)
Can't you feel, can't you feel it getting real?

Woke up this morning to an ugly place
The scum rising from a masterbating race
There's nothing American about us now
Have we forgotten what we're all about
Cause I still believe in our democracy
And equal rights for every race and creed
So take it outside, shout it loud as you can
We won't let sexism or bigotry stand

That's who we are (Honor in protest)
That's how I feel
That's who we are (Anti-racist)
Can't you feel, can't you feel?
That's who we are (Anti-fascist)
That's how I feel
That's who we are (Anti-potus)
Can't you feel, can't you feel it getting real?

Can't you feel for the world
For the tired, poor, huddled, war-torn
We're not a rock (We're all equal)
We're not an island (Multi-cultural)
We have a role to play
To make people's lives better every day
That's who we are (Fight the power)
That's how I feel (We're taking over)

How I feel

Pavlov's Cat lyrics - Descendents

Ring the bell but I'm not gonna listen
I'm the rat to [?] your cheese
I won't behave or be conditioned
Screw that, I'm Pavlov's cat

Every tire temptation put in front of me
It's just a new distraction to ignore
I don't want what you want me to
Won't run the maze no more

Ring the bell but I'm not gonna listen
I'm the rat to [?] your cheese
I won't behave or be conditioned
Screw that, I'm Pavlov's cat

You have a vested interest in obedience
You take pleasure in the power and control
It's easy to undo you, the magic word is no
Ring your bell, and get no compliance
Can you tell, existence is defiance
Might as well, condemn me to science
Broke chains, sterilize, euthanize me

Ring the bell but I'm not gonna listen
I'm the rat to [?] your cheese
I won't behave or be conditioned
Screw that, I'm Pavlov's cat
Pavlov's cat

Opt In lyrics - Descendents

Revolution is only for the young
A bunch of 50 year olds can't change the world

But that's not true when we got
Our greatest business
Show our kids to think for themselves
Politics is only for the shrewd
[?] can't change the world

But that's true when we got
Our greatest business
[?] good will [?] leave behind

How we treat each other
How we treat ourselves
And the world

Humanity independent from the strong
We're gonna just hide behind the TV

But that's not true when we got
Our greatest business
[?] to be established
I'm not just gonna swoop down
This rocking chair and fall asleep

"Hypercaffium Spazzinate" (2016)

Feel This lyrics - Descendents

Busted heart, my brain is beat, yeah
Don’t want a doctor
Need zero anesthetic to make me numb
Escape is easy and everybody’s offering

I wanna feel this
Gotta have to bear witness
Gonna take pain straight the way I found it
I gotta feel this
So I can kick this sickness
The only way to get my mind around it

Busted brain, my heart is beat, yeah
Don’t want a bottle
Or well-intended smiles and lies
Escape is easy and everybody’s offering

I wanna feel this
Gotta have to bear witness
Gonna take pain straight the way I found it
I gotta feel this
So I can kick this sickness
Wanna take pain straight the way I found it
Can’t get around it
Can’t heal without it

Victim Of Me lyrics - Descendents

I just quit this joke of a life plan
It won’t get me nowhere, no
I’m a fear driven service robot
A spectacle of a man with no options

No further will I travel
Aimlessly
Along this fool’s errand
No longer be
A victim of me

Complain about everything in my life
And blame everybody I know
I make every decision laced in panic
Regrettable, but I know it’s amendable

No further will I travel
Aimlessly
Along this fool’s errand
No longer be
A victim of me

I don’t have to run from me
Just turn away
And be satisfied
And I’m not going to fight with me
Just turn away
And stop wandering aimlessly

Yeah I’m not going to choose to be
A victim of me
I’m not going to let myself be
A victim of me

On Paper lyrics - Descendents

I'm not so easy on the eye
It's been said my face can make an onion cry
I mean no harm, but I've got the charm
Of a murdering serial raper
I never get none, and I know why
But there's more to me than meets the eye
The real live me ain’t certified
But I look good on paper

Statistically I'm far above the rest
I do my homework, never have to guess
My social life's an empty wreck
Romance is an alien labor
There are things about me you'll never know
Unless you scratch the surface and look below
My resume is solid gold
I look good on paper

I got straight A's on every test
A perfect credit score
My ledgers never in the red
I look good on paper

I never get none, and I know why
But there’s more to me than meets the eye
If you got the time I'm qualified
I look good on paper
I look good on paper
I look good
On paper
On paper

Shameless Halo lyrics - Descendents

Shameless halo
I think you forgot love along the way
Shameless halo
Where does your heart go when you pray?

I know what your prophet meant
But every time you vent
Sweet honey turns to poison
Sweet honey turns to poison

Shameless halo
You believe in heaven, why are you so afraid?
Shameless halo
There's a victim card that you play
When you don't get your way
You judge other peoples choices
You'd silence different voices

Shameless Halo
Where does your heart go when you pray?
You call it the book of love
You're swinging it like a club
Sweet honey turns to poison
I watch what you say and do
I can't stand the tone of your tune
Sweet honey turns to poison
Sweet honey turns to poison

No Fat Burger lyrics - Descendents

Can’t have no more juicy burgers
Can’t have no more greasy fries
Doctor took my lipid profile
He told me I’m barely alive

No more fat
No more fat
No more chicken pot pies, no more chorizo
I can’t have that

Got this problem from my father
Grandpa died at 45
Heart attack and a triple bypass
Future’s looking very bright

No more fat
No more fat
No more apple fritters, no more ice cream
I can’t have that
No more fat
No more fat
I like food, but all the food that tastes good…
I can’t have that

Testosterone lyrics - Descendents

Need it bad, someone gimme a dose
Need it bad, testosterone
I’m not God… I wanna be one
[x2]

Good things don’t come to those who wait
They only come to those who take
I waited so long to have my chance
They told me I didn’t have what it takes
So slam it right here in my vein

Need it bad, someone gimme a dose
Need it bad, testosterone
I’m not God… I wanna be one

So gimme more – no, gimme all of those
I want the lion’s share… I know
I’m not God… I just wanna be one, yeah

And all you fuckin’ dicks who beat your chest
Don’t even think that I’m impressed
But they’re trying to take my wife,
My life, my job, so…
Right now I need something for my brain
Right now I need to go insane
Insane

Need it now

Without Love lyrics - Descendents

Long years waiting for it
Lost pages given to disease within me
Long days fighting for it
Lost years left praying for relief from sickness
Then madness

Life won’t wait for us
And love won’t heal itself
Let’s find our way

Another day goes by
We can’t live like this anymore
Can’t live without love
Another year goes by
We can’t live like this anymore
Can’t live without love

Shock faded, no one passed away
We live to fight a million days… in silence
Dark pages no one has to see
Lock every door around us in self-defense
We conceal this

Life won’t wait for us
And love won’t heal itself
Let’s find our way

Another day goes by
We can’t live like this anymore
Can’t live without love
A life just passing by
We can’t live like this anymore
Can’t live without love

We let it down… gave in to infatuation
We tore it down by giving way to blind temptation
But I know there’s a reason
We’ve gotta believe it’s true
And find our way

Another day goes by
We can’t live like this anymore
Can’t live without love
Our final chance to try
We can’t live like this anymore
Can’t live without love

Can’t live without love
Can’t live without love

We Got Defeat lyrics - Descendents

Yeah the world just kicked my ass again
Old news, it's the same way it's ever been

Just like before
Sprawling senseless
To the floor
With no defenses

Don't have the time to be angry
I'll use my mind, find out how they beat me

Not like before
I'll learn some new tricks
I'm gonna school
The sonsabitches

We got defeat, but I'm learning
We got defeat - I'm determined
We got defeat - I'll return and
I'll beat 'em next time

Winning never taught anybody anything
Underdogs get the bone eventually

Not like before
I think I got this
I'm gonna school
The sonsabitches

We got defeat, but I'm learning
We got defeat - I'm determined
We got defeat - I'll return and
I'll beat 'em next time

Smile lyrics - Descendents

I can see your pain has left you locked up, beat down
I can see the fear has made you desperate, burnt out

Too much regret and shattered hope
Sent you slipping down that slope
All I can do is lend a hand
Be a friend again
And it’s ok if you want to vent, but…

What I wouldn’t give to see you smile
Once in a while
What I wouldn’t give to see you smile
Once in a while

I can feel the bitterness that drains you, poisons you
And all those grass-is-greener thoughts, I’m telling you, they’re killing you

You’re not a have-not, can’t you see
What you’ve got’s so important to me
Measuring your life versus theirs
You’ll always come out ahead
In all the ways that really matter, so…

What I wouldn’t give to see you smile
Once in a while
What I wouldn’t give to see you smile
Oh what I wouldn’t, wouldn’t
What I wouldn’t give to see you smile
Once in a while
What I wouldn’t give to see you smile
Once in a while

I can see your pain has left you locked up, beat down, desperate, burnt out
I’m telling you, it’s killing you, killing you, killing you

I can see your pain
There’s nothing I can say except

Toil away, and at the end of the day
You can look back on a game well played
Toil away, and at the end of the day
You can look back on a game well played
Toil away, and at the end of the day
You can look back on a game well played
Toil away, and at the end of the day
You can look back on a game well played

Limiter lyrucs - Descendents

They gave you a limiter
Are you limited for life?
I’m so sorry, son
Society don’t want to see you
Go for all

Back then, everybody knew a spaz or two
We never thought those kids were bad, did you?
These days, everybody’s found another way
Just give ‘em a pill and send ‘em on their way

But whatever happened to drug-free youth?
What’s to become of our sons, what can we do?

Cause they gave you a limiter
Are you limited for life?
I’m so sorry, son
Society don’t want to see you
Go for all
Limiter, limiter
Are you limited for life?
Society don’t want to see

They drug you for this, and then they drug you for that
‘Til you don’t even know where your head is at
School’s the pusher - we don’t even have a choice
So what is the future of the limited boys?

Shame on all of us if they’re hooked for good
I’d fix you by myself, if I only could

They gave you a limiter
Are you limited for life?
I’m so sorry, son
Society don’t want to see you
Go for all
I’m so sorry, son
I’m so sorry, son
Society don’t want to see

Fighting Myself lyrics - Descendents

On the run since before ever after
Standard family disaster
Lovers, brothers, other bastards
Told me where to go
I shook my lumps, then took off running
Short on wisdom, wits, or cunning
One for all, but all for nothing
Into the unknown

There’s no point to waste the blame
I've never been strictly speaking sane
I should have known fresh dirt won't wash old stains away

I tried to drown your memory
It learned to swim and clung to me
Kissed my cheek sadistically
And dragged me down below

There’s no point to waste the blame
I've never been strictly speaking sane
I should have known fresh dirt won't wash old stains away

I was so angry then, in psychic self-defense
Wasting energy, fighting something I couldn't see…
Just fightin’ myself

I know time unfolds and then it tangles
Strings attached and feelings mangled
Some threads are severed, some still dangle
Some just drift away

There’s no point to waste the blame
I've never been strictly speaking sane
I should have known fresh dirt won't wash old stains away

The last thing I tried to do was end up hurting you
I found my enemy staring back from the mirror at me
I've been fightin’ myself
Fightin’ myself

There's nobody in the ring but me
I broke some things I know just can't be fixed
While I fought for what I wanted more than anything
You stuck around for kicks

Spineless And Scarlet Red lyrics - Descendents

Scarlet red is all that’s left of us
A room where no honesty remains
Still farther fetched is our return to grace
Though I’d give anything to turn back these idle hands of shame

So let the rain come down, let the lightning fly
Rest assured, your stars won’t have the answers
Erosion therapy, all that’s left of you and me
Falling down and hiding all the ways that we’ve gone wrong

Let’s watch the people point and stare at us today
You know we’ve brought this on ourselves
They’ll see us crumble as we count the many ways
You left us spineless and scarlet red… scarlet red

Both found complicit in this mess we’ve made
Intruders lay with us in bed
Rabid yet penitent we hide in shame
And these spurious adulterations… our vile form of treason

So let the rain come down, let the lightning fly
Rest assured, we’ll never have the answers
Erosion therapy, all that’s left of you and me
Falling down and hiding all the ways that we’ve gone wrong

Let’s watch the people point and stare at us each day
You know we've brought this on ourselves
They’ll see us crumble as we count the many ways
I left us spineless and scarlet red… scarlet red

Dishonor and disgrace
Shining bright for all to see
Betrayal in our faces
And every stop sign in between

Human Being lyrics - Descendents

I can't change the fact
That there's enough nukes in this place
To kill the world one million times over
We all sit back and accept it

Just part of being alive
Just part of being a human being

Trip over the homeless on the way to the store
We don't even notice anymore
Just waiting for the Prez to fix it
But his hands are tied just the same

A part of being alive
A part of being a human being

Full Circle lyrics - Descendents

X marks the spot on the map where the treasure was found
A glint of brilliance when we all started to dig underground
We got bad reception down there, like we were from or on Mars
But everything became so clear, once I got all four bars

And now I’ve come full circle
Crash landing 1980
Time travel to the creepy crawl
The big crux of intensity
Keep me alive

Once I saw it with my own eyes, everything started shifting gears
I listened to the true sounds of adolescence and had no fear
Just an alley cat, looking for some skank in the danger zone
And if I had one more minute, man, this is the last thing I wanna hear

And now I’ve come full circle
Crash landing 1980
Time travel to the creepy crawl
The big crux of intensity
Keep me alive

Notes and chords mean everything to me
Infected for life, I’ve got the disease
Like germs spreading throughout the land
If you were there, you understand
Keep me alive
Keep me alive

X marks the spot on the map where the treasure was found


Comeback Kid lyrics - Descendents

I thought…
If I could just shout it in your face
I could make it happen
You live you win, boy, and can’t you see
You’re the most valuable player to me

Comeback Kid – it’s exciting to watch you live
What’s inside of your broken lid
We all want you to win
I really want you to win

Where did you go? But I didn’t know
You were facing elimination
So many people rooting for you
They’d do anything to see you through

Comeback Kid – it’s exciting to watch you live
What’s inside of your broken lid
We all want you to win

You cleared your head – turned back time just like Superman
At the top of your game again
Now I know you can win

So much to do and so much time
Fill in the gap you left behind
So many lights inside your mind
I could feel it when you
Called me after to fill in the gap
And when you laughed I knew everything was fine

Comeback Kid – it’s exciting to watch you live
What’s inside of your broken lid
We all want you to win

Hey, Comeback Kid
Welcome back the Comeback Kid… make him laugh
The Comeback kid… we all want you to win
I really want you to win

You live, you win
You live, you win

Beyond The Music lyrics - Descendents

Started out with nothing to say
In a carpet cave we learn how to play
Talk about our favorite songs
We didn’t know that this would last forever
As it played along

We set our course for any way out
Prayin’ that the van wouldn’t break down
Found some places we belong
Load the gear, play our songs
Who’d have known this would last forever
As it moved along

Here we are today
Still look each other in the face
Not expecting a single thing beyond the music

Still finding ways to share what we feel
For kids with no friends, it doesn’t seem real
And there’s nothing in this world
Not a dollar, dream or girl
That can rival what we have between us
Beyond the music

Here we are today
Still look each other in the face
Not expecting a single thing beyond the music

Frustrato-rock or chainsaw pop
Or whatever it is we play
This is our family
And it will always be this way
Beyond the music

We found our family
Beyond the music

Days Of Desperation lyrics - Descendents

Most of our lives we been tryin' just to be happy
Most of our lives we been tryin' just to be free

Yeah we got plenty left to fight for
But now we got no one to fight against

Because our days of desperation
Are over now
Because our days of desperation
Are over now

Hidin’ from authority
Hidin’ from you and me
Duckin’ in the alleyway
Hide from the world we both can see

Yes our days of desperation
Are over now
Because our days of desperation
Are over now

The rest of our life is free
Not gonna cower away
The rest of our life is easy
It's got to be… got to be

Thinkin' lyrics - Descendents

Behind the smoke and lies and misdirection 
Lives a filthy joke not fit for virgin ears
Open hearts are prone to vivisection
And broken faith is epidemic here
So lock and load your guns, it's murder season
And once again the tyrants have their way
Dirty, and impervious to reason
Each trigger finger grows itchier every day
And along the way

It's strip mall hell and burger stands from jail to private jail
Worship those who prosper, heaven help you if you fail
Sobriety brings no relief, and drinking does no good
I think I've just been thinking just a little more than I should

I'll take the mandatory Prozac
For something I have, something I lack
The latest fabricated disease
Still the pills preserve my mental welfare
So I'll still be insane, but won't care
Narcozombie smiling while…

Divided still we stand, and will demand the right to choose
Designer slavery chains and cheap TV
While every decent thing is torn up screaming by the roots
To feed the beasts, and all that they believe

Grindstone lyrics - Descendents

You took the bait, bought the whole rotten ticket
I know you’re feeling betrayed
Life showed you how and where you could stick it
Maybe your trust was mislaid
Grindstone grinding
It’s really wearing you down
Shoveling dung in the daily world circus
As “Chumpy,” the everyday no class clown

They stick you up to shake you down
They set you up to take you down

Too late for a new bad decision
The fix is already in
Just keep shooting, you’ll hit what you’re missing
But come up empty again
Anger rises
And it’s an impotent rage
Sing chapter and verse of your obsolete anthem
While time and the grindstone wear you away

It beats you up, and wears you down
It sets you up to tear you down

Business A.U. lyrics - Descendents

Drank the Kool-Aid but it don’t taste good
I’m doin’ the things you said I should
I know my job is to be in control
But everything seems so out of control

Business as usual
How did I get here?
Business as usual
It’s boring me to tears

How can it be that I hate my life
Two beautiful kids and a wonderful wife
But every time I’m staring at that screen
Those spreadsheets and numbers make me wanna scream

Business as usual
How did I get here?
Business as usual
It’s boring me to tears

“Working from home” – playing guitar
Procrastination won’t get you far
Is this a sign I’m not… cut… out?
I’ll never Excel at PPT
And Word? FAIL. My Outlook is bleak
Maybe it’s time to quit… right… now
Don’t even save your work

Business A.U.

Drank the Kool-Aid but it don’t taste good
I’m doin’ the things you said I should
But really I’m not, I’m just writing this song
And waiting for the end, I know it won’t be long

Business as usual
How did I get here?
Business as usual
It’s boring me

Business as usual
Guilty as charged
I had to go postal
You broke my fucking heart
Business… Useless
Business A.U.

Unchanged lyrics - Descendents

Turn around and run
This pair of broken vows is waiting up 'till dawn
There’s no way it could ever be
Then it happened to you and me
And there’s no super hero trying’ ta save us
We're just stuck here

But it's OK - I'll be alright
Though I may call your name in vain
In the throes of the darkest night
Life's not the same
But must we remain unchanged

Lift your wheels and fly
And hold safe our memories by never asking “why”
Start living along the way
And maybe laugh again someday
'Cause there's no tragedy great enough to nullify us
It meant something

And it's OK - I'll be alright
Though I may call your name in vain
In the throes of the darkest night
Life's not the same
But must we remain unchanged

No, we're not the people in those photographs
Those better times have come and gone
But as we let it fall, try to recall the way I loved you

It's OK - I'll be alright
Though a thousand things may shake me
I’ll take it without a fight
Life's not the same
But must we remain unchanged

"Cool To Be You" (2004)



Talking lyrics - Descendents

Talking about our life
No matter how much I don't like
Talk is never cheap between you and me
Look at how far we've come
And so we always come undone
Maybe that's how it always has to be

I'm out here alone
Talking on the phone
Tensions are risin' it's never surprising
This is the way it goes
Maybe we'll fall in love when I get home

Talking about our life
Seems like we never get it right
But we always get an A for effort
We're searching for what to say
Communications the only way
If we ever hope to stay together
Communicate

I'm out here alone
Talking on the phone
Tensions are risin' it's never surprising
This is the way it goes
Maybe we'll fall in love when I get home

Tell me the problem
I wanna know
If there's a solution I'll fix it now
And if there isn't I'll just be there
If I don't say something
Don't say I don't care

Well I go yaduh duh duh duh duh
And you go yaduh duh duh duh duh
Yaduh duh duh duh duh ya that's what we gotta do

I'm out here alone
Talking on the phone
Tensions are risin' it's never surprising
This is the way it goes
Maybe we'll fall in love when I get home
Maybe we'll fall in love when I get home
I said maybe we'll fall in love when I get home

She Don't Care lyrics - Descendents

I get up every morning
And make her coffee like I've always done
She won't look in my eyes
What has our love become?

Tried talking about it (We talk around it)
We talk around it
And never get nowhere
I gave her everything I got
And she don't care

She don't care...
No she don't!

Ten years before
I recognized the sacrifice she made to be with me
Said 'when you want to you can leave'

It's easy to make promises
While you're dumb in love
Watch them all evaporate
Because she's had enough

Tried talking about it (We talk around it)
We talk around it
And never get nowhere
I gave her everything I got...

She made up her mind
I lost my wife, my lover, my best friend
And I don't think I'll ever be right again

It's easy to make promises
While you're dumb in love
Watch them all evaporate
Because she's had enough

Tried talking about it (We talk around it)
We talk around it
And never get nowhere
And I'm lonelier than you know...
She don't care

She don't care
She don't care

Dog And Pony Show lyrics - Descendents

Another night of maybe and almost
Abandoning a land of passin' ghosts

Just a lot of sad people forgive them Lord
They don't care what they do
Or who they do it to
At the dog and pony show

They don't wanna know

To think I could have stayed home
Instead of watching this ugly lust and ordinary dirt
But no one cares, so nobody gets hurt

Just a lot of sad people forgive them Lord
They don't care who they do
Or what it does to you
At the dog and pony show
They don't wanna know
They're doing some blow

They all stand in line and take their chances
Roping all their robot dances
Dying to get off
There's a lot of pretty girls here looking tight
They're not good girls
But they're good for the night
They're telling me to buzz off
Well that's okay, cause I never liked them anyway

It's no place for a mongrel mutt like me
Mating rights go to the best of breed

Just a lot of sad people
Caught in between
Desire and despair
I guess I'll see you there
At the lost and lonely
Dog and pony show

They don't wanna know
They don't wanna know
They don't wanna know
So afraid and alone

Blast Off lyrics - Descendents

Stay away from the chili verde
Unless you want to get blown away
Treat the spider with a little respect
You take the heat - it's gonna bite back

Blast off at Cape Canaveral
Toilet seat is your launching pad
Blast off at Cape Canaveral
4, 3, 2, 1, Blast off!

Capsaicinoids are a thing to avoid
Unless you wanna burn in that 'roid
We’ll be laughing and rolling on the floor
When we hear you screaming through that door

Blast off at Cape Canaveral
All systems go!
Blast off at Cape Canaveral
4, 3, 2, 1, Blast off!

Shhhh, shh shh you can hear him! You can hear...
No, no, listen! You can hear him

Jalepeno, Habenero
Burning all yo' hair down there-o
Picinu, Vindaloo
They're gonna getcha
They're gonna getcha too!

You know those red things in the Kung Pao?
Don't say I didn't warn you now
Take the time to pick them out
Or the spider gets grouchy
And it's time to countdown!

Blast off at Cape Canaveral
Ohh ohhh ohhh
Blast off at Cape Canaveral
WOOOOO HOOOO!
Blast off at Cape Canaveral
Houston, we have a problem
Blast off at Cape Canaveral
Now 4, 3, 2, 1, Blast off!

[Farting noises]

Dreams lyrics - Descendents

Why do I daydream?
Oh why do I get my hopes up at all?
I've been living this Walter Mitty life for too long
Somebody save me
I'm a prisoner of my own fears

Sometimes fantasy is the only problem I bear
My mind is a dream filled balloon
Dripping dreams into my shoes
And I'm too afraid to move
To face the real world
And when I fall, I fall down hard
When will I ever learn?
Don't take your dreams to heart
You'll only wind up getting burned
(BURNED)

Well maybe I'm lazy
But circumstances always knock me down
So I'll just lie here
Never get up, off the ground
Well maybe it's crazy
To sit and think of all the things I want to do
What's the use of dreaming
When dreams never come true?

And when I fall I fall down hard
When will I ever learn?
Don't take your dreams to heart
You'll only wind up getting burned

Why do I daydream?
Why do I daydream?
Why do I bother?
WHY?

Why do I daydream? (Time to get up off your ass)
Why do I daydream? (Pull your head up take a chance)
Why do I bother? (Grab whatever you can grab)
WHY? (There's no such thing)

It's time to get up off your ass
Pull your head up take a chance
Grab whatever you can grab
There's no such thing

It's time to get up off your ass
Pull your head up take a chance
Grab whatever you can grab
There's no such thing

It's time to get up off your ass
Pull your head up take a chance
Grab whatever you can grab
There's no such thing
No such thing

Cool To Be You lyrics - Descendents

I don't believe in unity
it's just one more abandoned dream
once the people get together it's easy to see
it's just a matter of time til they come after me

but it must be pretty cool to be you
with your brothers at your back, protecting you
it must be pretty cool to know you belong
isolated my whole life counting scars in the land of the smiling knives
yes I'm envious it's true, but it must be cool to be you

you got a loving family to give you everything you need
my family loves each other so much
we live a thousand miles away and never stay in touch

but it must be pretty cool to be you
with a home and a family to go home to
must be pretty cool to know you belong
isolated my whole life counting scars in the land of the smiling knives
yes I'm envious it's true but it must be cool to be you

what can I do? I know this bitter jealousy is wrong
maybe i'll move, and find a brand new place I don't belong
some friends I'll never know (I'll never know)
New places I can't go (I can't go)
Cause everywhere I've been
Is on the outside lookin in...

You got a deep sustaining faith,
a lord who listens when you pray
I was raised in a church and I was taught to believe
I wonder if god believes in me...

It must be pretty cool to be you
with your holy faith sustaining you
must be pretty cool to know you belong
isolated my whole life counting scars in the land of the smiling knives
yes I'm envious it's true but it must be cool to be you

Must be cool to be you

Must be cool...................

Maddie lyrics - Descendents

Come on baby
We gotta get our clothes on
There'll be no easy days
Cause I got no degree

You'll see your brother in a week or three
Here's a picture of me
Just don't let them see
Cause they're not that fond of me
They're gonna tell you that I'm not real
But their time is through
And I'll be the one
Ya I'll see this through

I'll fight for you
No one else is going to
They're to busy fighting over you

Come on baby
We gotta get our plane now
Punk rock won't pay the bills
So we gotta get started early
I like to hang around here with you
Gotta life to teach you
Just you and me

Their gonna tell you that I'm not real
But their time is through
And I'm with you still
And I'll be the one (I'll be the one)
Ya I'll see this through

I'll fight for you
No one else is going to
Their to busy fighting over you

Their gonna tell you that I'm not real
But we're having fun together everyday
What could be more real than that?
To a girl who and her dad
And there is no way for they to brainwash you away from me

Come on baby
I gotta try to explain things
There's no easy way to say these things to you
There's no easy way to tell you what is real
So come on baby let's just go home now
I'll be responsible
I'll do everything I have to

Ya I'll be the one
I'll be invincible
I'll see it through
I'll be invincible
I'll fight for you
I'll fight for you
We'll be okay

Mass Nerder lyrics - Descendents

Don't got no goatee
Don't got no tattoo
Don't got no nose ring
Don't wanna be like you

See I got these glasses
So I'll never be cool
Always get my ass kick
When I get to school

Don't worry about image
Don't got no attitude
I know I won't get laid
If I wont be like you!

Don't got no biceps
Don't got no pecks
But I'll read you under the table
With my thick specks

See I got these glasses
So they kick my ass
But I'll kick their asses
When I get to class

I got these glasses
So I can't wear shades
I'll kick their asses
I'll get good grades

Gonna kick their asses in class
Gonna kick their asses in class
Gonna kick their asses in class
Gonna get good grades!

I can't get rid of the times
Can't stop the party line
Don't know what the scenes about
Don't tell me to mellow out!

Don't got no goatee
No fucking safety pin
No I ain't no junkie
Don't got no heroin

Don't got no styling lotion
Don't wanna live by the ocean
Just wanna be myself
All you posers go to hell!

Gonna kick their asses in class
Gonna kick their asses in class
Gonna kick their asses in class
Gonna get good grades!

Gonna kick their asses in class
Gonna kick their asses in class
Gonna kick their asses in class
Gonna get good grades!

Asses in class
Asses in class
Asses in class

Asses in class
Asses in class
Asses in class

We must read
We must read
We must read
We must read
We must read
RRRREEEEAAAADDDD!

Somebody get me a book!

One More Day lyrics - Descendents

Spent the last years
In denial of my grief
Because you hated me
Anyone could see
I'll always wonder
What I meant to you
And why you hated me
What I did to you

I can't get anywhere
Pretending that I don't care
Lying to everyone I see
When the only thing I needed was

One more day like yesterday
I'd pick you up, you'd put me down
Wish you were still around
For one more day like yesterday
With you

And in the end
We didn't have a thing to say
Still those games to play
Then you passed away
I'll always wonder
Why you had to leave
Why you hated me
Then laid the blame on me

Cold antiseptic stares
The smell of the sickroom air
Yeah, I let you go down there
The only child
Who never cared about

One more day like yesterday
I'd pick you up, You'd put me down
Wish you were still around
For one more day like yesterday
With you

I'll always wonder
If I could have meant more to you
I'll always wonder
If I could have done more for you
How could I just turn my back
How could I just walk away
How could I just close my eyes
And watch you die

We never got along
We never got a chance
To sing our song of love

I loved my daddy boy
Did you love your boy?
Oh, you feel so warm to me now
But it's cold in this room
Tomorrow they'll put you
In the ground
Then there's nothing I can
ever do to have

One more day like yesterday
I'd pick you up, you'd put me down
Wish you were still around
For one more day like yesterday
With you

Tack lyrics - Descendents

Time for a new me
I hear they're having a sale
At thrifty
I'm trading myself in
And I don't care what I get for it
'Cause I finally burned out
Been kicking myself
For way too long

Finally found out
What it feels like to be living a lie
Wasting my time, paralyzed
Wishing I was in another world

I'm taking a new tack
Gotta turn my back to turn back
I don't wanna close doors
But I don't wanna feel this way anymore
So I'm finding my way out
By turning away from a brick wall

Finally found out
What it feels like to be living a lie
Wasting my time, paralyzed
Wishing I was in another world

Somebody tell me what to do
I've wasted my last 15 years
Jumping through their hoops
Only to find nothing waiting for me
But academic oblivion
My proud destiny

See I finally burned out
Been kicking myself
For way too long

Finally found out
What it feels like to be living a lie
Wasting my time, paralyzed
Wishing I was in another world

Wishing I was in another world..
(Somebody tell me what to do)
Wishing I was in another world:

Time for a new me.

Anchor Grill lyrics - Descendents

Love in our hearts, we didn’t know the world is complicated
Gleam in our eyes, time would show just what our love was made of

Who knew the way things work in this world we’ve made for ourselves?
Where I work myself to death, and you raise the kids

Can’t we try to amend our path of struggle for a while?
To pretend our lives are free and carefree still?
And that I just fell in love with you at the Anchor Grill

Money and time… we didn’t know they’d be so hard to come by
"Look and you’ll find"? We didn’t know, that’s just some fabled school rhyme

We’ll never get ahead in this world
Not ‘til we move ahead of this world we’ve made for ourselves
Where there’s no time to kiss, and no room to even breathe

Can’t we try to amend our path of struggle for a while?
To pretend our lives are free and carefree still?
And that I just fell in love with you
At the Anchor Grill
It’s our life, it’s standing right in front of me
It’s our time, and we know the way we wanna be
Can’t you see?

So let’s drop the kids at your folks, let’s go
Where it’s never too late for breakfast
And everything’s gonna get better

Can’t we try to amend our path of struggle for a while?
Can’t we try to amend our path of struggle for a while?
To pretend our lives are free and carefree still?
‘Cause I just fell in love with you
At the Anchor Grill

Dry Spell lyrics - Descendents

If it was for me,
I thought it would come so easy.
Never realized, lifes just a series of lows and highs.
I just want to create, it doesnt matter how i do it.
Nobody ever said thats theres nothing to it.

Goosebumps been gone, for way to long.

Couldnt get it for free, couldnt do it for the money.
It just disapeared, spent alot of bearin years.
and if it doesnt work out, you can just set it down for later.
Nobody ever said you'd be dead forever.

Goosebumps been gone, for way to long.
Who knows how long, they'll stick around.

If it was for me, i thought it would come so easy.
Never realized, lifes just a series of lows and highs.
Couldnt get it for free, didnt wanna have to try and do it.
Nobody ever said, that theres nothing to it.

Goosebumps been gone, for way to long
Who knows how long, they'll stick around
Goosebumps been gone, for way to long
Who knows how long, they'll stick around

Please stick around.

Nothing With You lyrics - Descendents

I don't wanna move
I'll just sit here in my living room
And see what's on the tube
While I'm hanging out with you

People knock on my door
Ringing my phone
Telling me the things I gotta get done today
To satisfy them, but what about me?
Lately I've been wishing I was brain dead
No responsibilities in my head today
Baby let's see what's on the TV

Doing nothing having fun
off to bed to get things done
I'm not lazy, I'm in love
I don't wanna move
I'll just sit here in my living room
And see what's on the tube
While I'm hanging out with you

People pressing my flesh
Taking my time
They don't know a thing about my life with you
I'm trying real hard
Hard not to care
Cause all I ever really want to do
Is sit around doing nothing with you
Because nothing's only fun when you're there

"Mad About You" at dinnertime
"Seinfeld", "Simpsons", "So-Called Life"
Seen the reruns 20 million times

I don't wanna move
I'll just sit here in my living room
And see what's on the tube
While I'm hanging out with you

all I wanna do is just sit here in my living room
And see what's on the tube
While I'm hanging out with you

All I wanna do
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
Is do nothing with you

All I wanna do
All I wanna do
All I wanna do
Is do nothing with you

Merican lyrics - Descendents

We flipped our finger to the king of England
Stole our country from the indians
With god on our side and guns in our hands
We took it for our own
A nation dedicated to liberty
Justice and equality
Does it look that way to you? It doesn't look that way to me
The sickest joke I know

Listen up man, I'll tell you who I am
Just another stupid American
You don't wanna listen, you don't wanna understand
So finish up your drink and go home

I come from the land of Ben Franklin
Twain and Poe and Walt Whitman
Otis Redding, Ellington
The country that I love
But it's a land of the slaves and the ku klux klan
Haymarket riot and the great depression
Joe McCarthy, Vietnam
The sickest joke I know

Listen up man, I'll tell you who I am
Just another stupid American
You don't wanna listen, you don't wanna understand
So finish up your drink and go home

I'm proud and ashamed
Every fourth of July
You got to know the truth
Before you say that you got pride

Now the cops got tanks 'cause the kids got guns
Shrinks pushing pills on everyone
Cancer from the ocean, cancer from the sun
Straight to Hell we go

Listen up man, I'll tell you who I am
Just another stupid American
You don't wanna listen, you don't wanna understand
So finish up your drink and go home
Listen up man, I'll tell you who I am
Just another stupid American
You don't wanna listen, you don't wanna understand
So finish up your drink and go home
Finish up your drink and go home

Here With Me lyrics - Descendents

Wet sand on a foggy beach, the sky is grey
You would call it a perfect day
And naturally I'd have to agree, if you were here with me

When I'm hanging out with all my friends
Something still holds back my smile
Something tells me theyre the enemy
...the enemy
'Cause you're not here with me
No, you're not here with me

And I know she was everything
When everybodys having fun
I sit and stare at everyone
Back to myself again

I took a walk outside along the beach
Watch the waves roll along the shore
The things I felt arent there anymore
Not anymore
'Cause you're not here with me
No, you're not here with me

And everybodys having fun
But not me
I sit & stare at everyone
Back to myself again

Wet sand on a foggy beach, the sky is grey
Keep workin'
stay busy
don't think about...
don't think about...
Keep workin'
stay busy
don't think about...
don't think about... her.

I Quit lyrics - Descendents

Music was my hobby, something that I did for fun
Now that it's become a job, the damage has been done
No amount of money can repair my broken lungs
And who cares what yer makin' if yer makin' it alone

Sick all the time, I miss my wife - I quit
Got better things to do with my life - I quit
I quit - I quit

Go ahead and say it, tell me I'm getting old
Tell me I'm a sellout, but it's you that's being sold
See, I refuse to think of rock and roll as my career
Tell me all my opportunities, ask me if I care

The rock star lifestyle ain't for me - I quit
Got somewhere else I'd rather be, so I quit
I quit - I quit

Go ahead and say it, call me a fuckin' wimp
Just cuz I've got a different kind of life that I wanna live
You can criticize my ideals and my priorities
But ultimately I don't give a flying fuck what you think of me

I don't believe in that macho shit - I quit
I know there's no way you can understand it - I quit
Sick all the time, I miss my wife - I quit
Got better things to do with my life - I quit
I quit - I quit

What'd ya think, I wanted to be Mick Jagger or something,
Playing the pixie at 50 or 60?
Gimme a break!
I mean,I don't wanna grow up and all that, but
The time has come for me to say…
I quit

Alive lyrics - Descendents

I know I don't control you.
I know I don't own you,
But I still feel a sense of pride
'Cause I know what we have is alive.

It's alive, and it always used to frighten me.
Now, I know it'll always be a part of me.
It's alive.

I know sometimes we're strangers.
I know there's still some danger,
But I still feel a sense of pride
'Cause I know what we have is alive.

It's alive, and it always used to frighten me.
Now, I know it'll always be a part of me.
It's alive.

Alive, more than survive,
More than get by,
More than our lives.
It's alive.

I know we'll be together.
I know -- forever.
Baby, look into my eyes,
And you'll know what we have is alive, alive alive.

It's alive, and it always used to frighten me.
Now, I know it'll always be a part of me.
Yeah, it's alive, and it always used to frighten me.
Now, I know it'll always be a part of me.

It's alive.
It's alive.
It's alive.

"Everything Sucks" (1996)

Everything Sucks lyrics - Descendents

Got up this morning to make some coffee.
Everything sucks today.
Prayed someone hired a hitman to off me.
Everything sucks today.

Got up on the wrong side of life this morning.
Nothin' today is gonna go my way.
Horoscope told me lies this morning.
I don't think anything's gonna be okay.

Today!
Everything sucks today!
Everything sucks today!
Everything sucks today!

Right girl didn't call, and the wrong one's knocking.
Everything sucks today.
Flat tire on my car, so I guess I'm walking.
Everything sucks today.

Taxman came and took my money.
Now, all my other bills are gonna be late.
My girlfriend's moving in this morning.
I don't think anything's gonna be okay.

Today!
Everything sucks today!
Everything sucks today!
Everything sucks today!

Got up on the wrong side of life this morning.
Nothin' today is gonna go my way.
Horoscope told me lies this morning.
I don't think anything's gonna be okay.

Today!
Everything sucks today!
Everything sucks today!
Everything sucks today!



I'm The One lyrics - Descendents

I'm the one; I've been here for you all along.
I'm the one whose shoulder you've been cryin' on.

Nice guys finish last-no one knows as good as me.
We're just good friends, and you come to me for sympathy.

You tell me that I'm not your type,
But still you call me late at night
Every time he picks a fight.
After all he's said and all he's done-

I'm the one; I've been here for you all along.
I'm the one whose shoulder you've been cryin' on.

He's a total dick; that's the truth, and you know I'm right.
From everything you say, there's no way he'll ever do you right.

You love a man who treats you wrong.
You think you'll change him, but you're wrong.
He'll use you; then, he'll say, "So long."
After all he's said and all he's done-

I'm the one; I've been here for you all along.
I'm the one whose shoulder you've been cryin' on.

I'm the one who wants you more than anything;
You don't feel the same way-you've made it clear to me,
But I'll stand my ground and maybe
You'll hear what I've been sayin'.

After all I've said and all I've done-

I'm the one; I've been here for you all along.
I'm the one whose shoulder you've been cryin' on.
I'm the one; I've been here for you all along.
I'm the one whose shoulder you've been cryin' on.

I'm the one.

Rotting Out lyrics - Descendents


Shove All Your Problems Under The Rug
Then You Wonder Where The Smell Came From
Rotting Out From The Inside
This Is Your Fucked Up Family
So Many Minds That Nobody Ever Speaks
Rotting Out From The Inside.....Rotting Out
Nuclear Family Falling Out
Winter Forever In This House, They'Re
Rotting Out From The Inside
So Put Me Out Of My Misery
If It Ever Happens To Me, No
Rotting Out From The Inside....Rotting Out
Rotting Out...Rotting Out...Rotting Out...Rotting Out
Beat My Head Till I Can'T Speak
Not Gonna Let It Happen To Me, No
Rotting Out...Rotting Out...Rotting Out...Rotting Out

Sick-O-Me lyrics - Descendents

New love, new fun, new me
Isn't that the way it's supposed to be?
New fear, nothing's clear to me
And that's how it's always gonna be
I've never been real sure of myself
Never trusted someone else
Something you do puts my fears to rest

We'll bring it up and never touch the ground
And when you need me I'll be around
This is how it's gonna be
If you don't get Sick-O-Me

She loved me and I loved her
It was all so fun and new
We were going to go all over the world
And do everything there is to do
But something spoiled our plans
We couldn't meet our own demands
Every problem put us to the test

We brought it up but then we let it down
And when she needed me I wasn't around
That was how it had to be
Then she just got Sick-O-Me

Relationships deteriorate
I've seen it from the start
Easy as it is to fall in love
It's easier to fall apart
I won't let it fall apart

Bring it up and never touch the ground
And when you need me I'll be around
This is how it's gonna be
If you don't get Sick-O-Me

We'll hold it up and never let it down
And when you need me I'll be around
This is how it's gotta be
So you don't get Sick-O-Me
So you don't get Sick-O-Me
So you don't get Sick-O-Me

Caught lyrics - Descendents

Hear about the president?
He used to smoke pot
He never broke the law
Cause he never got caught

It's a sign of the times, it's the ultimate crime
Guilty of being caught red handed
The roll of the dice says your gonna do time
Guilty of being caught red handed

Junkie drug dealer does 50 years time
While the millionaire murderer just pays a fine

It's a sign of the times, it's the ultimate crime
Guilty of being caught red handed
The roll of the dice says your gonna do time
Guilty of being caught red handed

I'll pretend not to see
What you pretend you don't do
I'm innocent like you

So many stupid laws gonna have to break a few
Speed or run a red light i might too
When the man pulls you over like it or not
You're just one of the many
Only you got caught

It's a sign of the times, it's the ultimate crime
Guilty of being caught red handed
The roll of the dice says your gonna do time
Guilty of being caught red handed

I'll pretend not to see
What you pretend you don't do
I'm innocent

It's a sign of the times, it's the ultimate crime
Guilty of being caught red handed
The roll of the dice says your gonna do time
Guilty of being caught red handed

When I Get Old lyrics - Descendents

What Will It Be Like When I Get Old
Will I Still Hop On My Bike, And Ride Around Town
Will I Still Want To Be Someone, And Not Just Sit Around
I Don'T Want To Be Like Other Adults
Cause They'Ve Already Died
Cool And Condescending, Fossilized
Will I Be Rich Will I Be Poor, Will I Still Sleep On The Floor
What Will It Be Like When I Get
What Will I Be Like When I Get
What Will It Be Like When I Get Old
Will I Still Kiss My Girlfriend And Try To Grab Her Ass
Will I Still Hate The Cops And Have No Class
Will All My Grown Up Friends Say They'Ve Seen It All Before
They Say Hey Act Your Age And I'M Immature
Will I Do Myself Proud Or Only What'S Allowed
What Will It Be Like When I Get
What Will I Be Like When I Get
What Will It Be Like When I Get Old
Will I Sit Around And Talk About The Old Days
Sit Around And Watch T.V. I Never Want To Go That Way
Never Burn Out Not Fade Away
As I Travel Through My Time Will I Like What I Find
What Will It Be Like When I Get
What Will I Be Like When I Get
What Will It Be Like When I Get Old

Doghouse lyrics - Descendents

In The World Of Man In The Great Rat Race
Makes His Speeches Then He Does What He Please
Winners Of The Mosh Impart Their Grace
As I Wallow In The Mush In A Doggy Daze
I Live In A Kennel Smells Like Rotten Cheese
Chums Lots Of Flies But Why Should I Mind
Then I Get Trashed By The Ho Thats My Wife
Can'T Get Enough Of Kickin My Hiney
Life In The Canine World
Cats To Chase And A Bone To Bury
Full Of Doggy Stench In This Poo Poo Place
If I Get A Piece Of Tail I Dont Want To Get Married
This Is Just A Doghouse Why Should I Stay
If These Folks Are Crazy
They Try To Tell Me That They Know Where Its At
I Don'T Know Maybe I'M Lazy
This Is Just A Doghouse, You Said I'M A Dog
I Live Like A Dog
This Is My Doghouse
So Now Its Time To Go Work For The Man
I Work For The Man At The Taco Stand
I Keep On Grinding Like A Dog Always Does
No Place To Hide For This American Dog
This Is Just A Doghouse, You Said I'M A Dog
I Live Like A Dog
This Is My Doghouse
When I Frickin Find What I'M Lookin For
I Dig Right In And Take My Place
Maybe I Seem Crass And Crude
But A Dog Has To Do What A Dog Has To Do
This Is Just A Doghouse, You Said I'M A Dog
I Live Like A Dog
This Is My Doghouse
I'M Just A Dog, I Eat Cat Feces,
Feel Like A Hydrant On This Doggy Street
Live In The Doghouse, Everybody Hates Me
I Want To Get Laid, But Everybody Takes Me
I'M Your Dog And You'Re Bitches

She Loves Me lyrics - Descendents

She loves me; it's not just in my head.
She loves me even though it's not been said,
And if anything means anything, then this means something good.
I guess I'd love her back if I only could.

She loves me; I can see it when she smiles ear-to-ear.
She loves me, and I'm sure that she can't hear
How I scream out for someone else
When I'm asleep or by myself,
How I'm so sad, I hate myself.
I don't know where to go for help!

Her love could never grow sour.
It grows more pure with every hour.
I never wanted anything like that from her.

But still, she loves me; it's not just in my head.
She loves me even though it's not been said,
And if anything means anything, then this means something good.
I guess I'd love her back if I only could.

She loves me, and I know she can accept me for myself.
She loves me, but I'm sure that she can't help
How I'm this close to cashing in,
How I chase dreams that don't exist,
How I hate girls and I hate my life,
The pain-it rips me, tears me, ruins me!

Her love could never grow sour.
It grows more pure with every hour.
I never wanted anything like that from her.

But still, she loves me.
(I don't have to be)
She loves me.
(All by myself)
She loves me.
(She don't love no one else)
She loves me.

The way she loves me.
The way she loves me.

Hateful Notebook lyrics - Descendents

The Words She Writes Will Change The World
She'S Much Smarter Than Me
Inside She Writes A Side Of Herself
She Won'T Let Me See
Such A Hateful Little Girl
Her Little Book Is Her Whole World
It'S All There In Her Little Book
And I Can'T Help But Wonder
But She Says I'Ll Never Understand
She Says There'S No Love And Everyones Out To Get Her
She Keeps Me Shut Out And I Don'T Want To Let Her
Such A Hateful Little Girl
Her Little Book Is Her Whole World
It'S All There In Her Little Book
And I Can'T Help But Wonder
What Chapter I Fit Under, Yeah
I'M A Stone Age Male And That'S A Fact
There'S So Much More To Me Than That
Such A Hateful Little Girl
Her Little Book Is Her Whole World
She'S Writing In Her Little Book, She Don'T Like Me
But She'S Got Me Hooked
And I Can'T Help But Wonder
What She'S Like Between The Covers
And I Can'T Help But Wonder
What She'S Like Between The Covers
And I Can'T Help But Wonder
What She'S Like Between The Covers, Yeah

We lyrics - Descendents

I don't care what they say
Those numbers don't mean a thing
We've got it made

This world is just me and you
And we know just what to do
We've got it made

Hey, everything's gonna be okay
(We've got it made together)
Hey, everything's gonna be okay
(We've got it made)

I don't care if we get a job
We've already got a life
We've got it made

I don't know what the future holds
All I know is you're there with me
That's all I need

Hey, everything's gonna be okay
(We've got it made together)
Hey, everything's gonna be okay
(We've got it made)

When I look in your eyes
I know what I want in life

Nothing more, nothing less
Nothing more, nothing less
(Everything's gonna be okay)

Nothing more, nothing less
(Everything's gonna be okay)
Be the key to my success
Nothing more, nothing less

Eunuch Boy lyrics - Descendents

Eunuch Boy, Eunuch Boy
Thought A Lawnmower Was Another Toy
Don'T Laugh At Him Cause He Can'T Piss Straight
He Can'T Even Masturbate
Got No Gonads, Only Two Sockets
Got No Bulge In His Pockets
Eunuch Boy, Eunuch Boy
Thought A Lawnmower Was Another Toy
Can'T Even Make It Through A Day Of School
They Try To Stomp His Shriveled Little Tool
It Must Suck To Know You'Ll Never Fuck

This Place lyrics - Descendents

This place sucks.

I haven't found a single thing to call my own,
And there's nothin' left for me to do.
Just play the game, pretend to do work.
No, my boss isn't a jerk; it's just this place.

This place sucks.

I've been slinkin' through the halls like an unwashed dog,
And everybody treats me like a criminal,
Talk about me behind my back.
At least I don't have a stick up my ass like the people in this place.

This place sucks.
This place sucks.
This place sucks.

I feel my confidence draining away.
I feel them laughing at me everyday.
I never thought it would end up this way.
Good thing I'm not gonna stay.

This place sucks.

I haven't found a single friend in three whole years
'Cause there's nobody here but the Bible boys,
Talkin' 'bout their white bread politics.
Gotta leave the room 'cause you're makin' me sick; gotta leave this place.

This place sucks.

I Won't Let Me lyrics - Descendents

While You Are Away I'M Waiting
I'M Out Of My Mind You'Re Out Of Town
You Know I'M No Stranger To Frustration
I Won'T Break I Won'T Let You Down

I Know That Guy Would Always Let You Down
But While I Am Away Don'T Worry

You Know I Won'T Let Me Let You Down
You Know I Won'T Let Me Let You Down

Thank You lyrics - Descendents

I listen to you for hours, I'll listen all day
Just keep hitting me the right way
Sing your song in the shower
Cause you got a way
To say what I can never say right - right on
When I feel weak you make me feel strong
Make me feel strong

I won't say your name
But you know who you are
I'll never be the same again now - no way
I just want to say
Thank you for playing the way you play

You don't get played on the radio
That's not the game you play
Well I don't care anyway
I glued your tape in the stereo
So I know every word, every note
And every chord is right - right on
When I feel weak you make me feel strong
Make me feel strong feel like nothing's wrong

I won't say your name
You know who you are
I'll never be the same again now - no way
I just want to say thank you for playing the
Way you play

Did you know you're why I go
And waste my time
At a rock and roll show
You let me know I'm not alone
You make me feel strong, make me feel strong,
Feel like nothing's wrong

I won't say your name, you know who you are
I'll never be the same again now - no way
I just want to say
Thank you for playing the way you play
Thank you for playing the way you play
Thank you for playing the way you play

"All" (1987)

All!

Coolidge lyrics - Descendents

I'm not a cool guy anymore
As if I ever was before
I took a look at all the signs
They're rolling over in my mind

The feelings I could not release
Became a bitter part of me
What was I thinking of?
I couldn't stand the way it was

Looked at my reflection
And I saw a stranger's face
I saw where I was going
And I had to walk away

I lost a girl it's just as well
She tried to save me from myself
I still got her on my mind
Tossing and turning in my bed

But if she had stayed another week,
I would have dragged her down with me
She took off 'cause she had enough
Is that what I thought love was?

I told her "See you later"
But it's hard to see at all
At the bottom of the barrel
With your back against the wall

I'm not a cool guy anymore
Left it behind and closed the door
I know you can't escape the past
Now I look back and have to laugh

I was my worst enemy
It almost got the best of me
What was I thinking of?
I couldn't stand the way it was

I looked up one day and saw that
It was up to me
You can only be a victim if you
Admit defeat

No! All! lyrics - Descendents

All? No, All!

Van lyrics - Descendents

Here in my van I can beat my small cock
Fart on your face, sleep on a loaf
Here in my van I can piss in a cup
Do what I want, scrounge for some change
I can lose

Here in my van I can eat my small squid
Dance the can-can with my feet in the air
Here in my van I can play the last tape
Play my small uke, write stupid songs
Like this one...
Yeah, yeah like this one

Haven't slept in days but that's okay
Gonna let 'er eat
Cat pizza road apples coffee shun Vivarin
Have a little snack
Put in a quarter and play road rally
Driving down the dark corridor
Fall asleep and wake up in another place

Here in my van I can beat my small cock
Fart on your face, sleep on a loaf
Here in my van I can piss in a cup
Scrounge for some change, do what I want
I can lose

Here in my van I can hate everyone
Wait for no girls to call me in the middle of the night
Here in my van I can lose my small mind

Cameage lyrics - Descendents

I'm looking straight down
I'm sick and I need a friend
I didn't know they came like that
I'm thinking things now
I thought I'd never think
I didn't know they came like that

You came so quickly
Right in and out of my life
I didn't know they came like that
Did I ever tell you
How much I love to hold you
I didn't know they came like that

It doesn't really matter if I live or die
The only thing that matters is you're by my side
There's no turning back from this one

I judged too quickly
I've never been good at trust
I didn't know they came like that
But did I ever tell you
How much I love to love you
I didn't know they came like that

It doesn't really matter if I live or die
The only thing that matters is you're by my side
There's no turning back from this one
No turning back from this one

It's not that I don't want your love
But I don't deserve anyone
I didn't know they came like that
I will return to you
When I am 32
I didn't know they came like that

You came so quickly
Right in and out of my life
I didn't know they came like that
Did I ever tell you
How much I love to love you
I didn't know they came like that

It doesn't really matter if I live or die
The only thing that matters is you're by my side
There's no turning back from this one
No turning back from this one

Did I ever tell you
How much I love to love you
I didn't know they came like that

Impressions lyrics - Descendents

That could be me
That could be me
Walking along the Seine
Where I'd throw my glasses away

That could be us
That could be us
Walking through the garden

Watch the flowers melt together
Boats reflected in the river
The picture on my wall
Your picture in my wallet
Blurry and beyond
If I stare and stare
Maybe I'll be there

And we'd walk through
Breathe through
Open mouth

I don't care

And we'd walk through
Breathe through
Open mouth

What they'd say

Iceman lyrics - Descendents

He's not alive
He can't dream
Stone cold monster
Thinking machine
Never feels
Anger or pain
What's left of his heart
Is inside his brain

Get down on your knees
Say pretty please
Or do you want to freeze?

The iceman cometh

My pretty pretty thing
Do you you want to freeze?

Born without a hug
Or an ounce of love
Doesn't know how much
He can hurt someone
Do you feel the chill
In his calculated prose?
His words will kill
If you leave yourself exposed

He is part of our generation
Let us mourn
It's too late to save this child
It started when he was born

The iceman cometh

Keep your distance
Don't get too close
A beautiful girl once made that mistake

She froze

The iceman cometh

He is part of our generation
Let us mourn

Jealous Of The World lyrics - Descendents

Jealous of the world again
Don't even try to be my friend
Everything is wrong for me
And everything's right for them
I'm jealous of the world again
I represent the worst in man
Jealous of the world again

I'd like to interrupt you
Fuck you to everything you say
It's nothing personal, mind you
But either you or I should go away
So go away

Jealous of the world again
Don't even try to be my friend
Everything is wrong for me
And everything's right for them
I'm Jealous of the world again
Don't give a shit about your deadly sin
Jealous of the world again

You belong to a useless subset
The one that's not me
Don't try to define my problems
Or understand me
I'll trip you up, I'll flip you off
Pardon me
Don't wanna hear your voice
I think I'll fart on your face

And there's nothing I can do
No there's nothing I can do
And there's nothing you can do
I'll just stay away from you

I'd like to make a comment
Roll down the window and scream
I hate you cause I hate me
I gotta shake this disease

Jealous of the world again
Jealous of the world again
I'm jealous of the world again
And there's nothing I can do
And there's nothing you can do
I'll just stay away from you

Clean Sheets lyrics - Clean Sheets

Clean sheets mean a lot to a guy who sleeps on the floor.
I wanted your love and a shelf on your dresser drawer.
You tucked me in, stopped my tossin' and turnin',
But I turned back the covers, and I saw those sheets are dirty.

Even though you'll never come clean, you know it's true.
Those sheets are dirty, and so are you.

The warmth of a bed to a guy who sleeps on the floor
Was enough to perpetuate all the lies I heard before,
And now I wanna hold you, gotta hold my pillow instead,
'Cause my pillow will never lie, or be with a stranger in my bed.

Even though you'll never come clean, you know it's true.
Those sheets are dirty, and so are you.

Where's the love I was lookin' for? It's out the door.
I'm afraid to see you anymore, so it's back on the floor,
'Cause those sheets are dirty.

[Guitar solo]

Woke up this mornin', alone on the floor,
Thinkin' about those clean sheets and the way it was before.
When I looked in the mirror, I saw your face and thought of the past,
But now I know how dirty you are-took my fist and smashed the glass!

Even though you'll never come clean, you know it's true.
Those sheets are dirty, and so are you.

Even though you'll never come clean, you know it's true.
Those sheets are dirty, and so are you.

Those sheets are dirty.
Those sheets are dirty.
Those sheets are dirty.

Pep Talk lyrics - Descendents

It's not the end of the world
Since your baby left you
It's gonna be okay
You don't need her anyway

You're looking around for someone to love
So you don't have to face the world alone
But give it some time and you might find
That you're better off on your own
Cause you could be dead right now
You could be the stupidest thing in the world
But you're not, look at what you've got
And stop thinking about that girl

You deserve the best, but it's up to you to get it
Don't settle for less, you know you're gonna regret it

It's not the end of the world
Since your baby left you
It's gonna be okay
You don't need her anyway

Watching the tube, moping around
Might as well be six feet underground
You're watching the game go by
Waiting for the final score
You got the beer commercials memorized
So you've probably heard this before
But this ain't the TV talking to you
It's a friend who's gonna tell you what you can do

You deserve the best, but it's up to you to get it
Don't settle for less, you're the best and don't you forget it

I know what you're thinking... you'll never find another
And even if you did, well, you couldn't love her
But out there somewhere is the person, place or thing
That you need to make you believe in you

It's not the end of the world
Since your baby left you
It's gonna be okay
You can find something better anyway

Just take your time. and you will find
What your life requires
Just take your time. and you will find
What your heart desires
Just take your time. and you will find
You will find

All-O-Gistics lyrics - Descendents

o worshippers of the mighty all
i had a dream
the bass master general came to me
we had a little snack at the donut shop

he said
"drink of my bonus cup, it is my blood"
"eat of this crapper, it is my body"
and his spirit entered me and i became all-ular
the bass master said "you are the chosen one"

"these are the all-o-gistics"
[chanting begins]

thou shalt not commit laundry
thou shalt covet thy neighbor's food (all)
thou shalt not create ties with the scathed (no all)
thou shalt always go for greatness
thou shalt not commit adulthood (all)
thou shalt not partake of decaf (all!)
thou shalt not suppress flatulence
thou shalt not commit hygiene (all!)
thou shalt not have no idea (all)
thou shalt commit thyself to an institution (no all)
thou shalt not take the van's name in vain
thou shalt not allow anything to deter you in your quest for all (all!)

tell me good people who is the sole achiever
who has ground his teeth and gums
so we may live in the beauty of all
(bass master general)

you may achieve all
and not wallow unknown for eternity,
all you have to do is do it! all!
(we shall achieve all)

study them, believe in them,
you must believe, do you believe in it?!
believe and you shall achieve
(we shall achieve all)

he who bears the most gas,
let him also bear forth his ass,
and cast forth the first frap
(all!)

you may achieve bass by chanting the small psalm of all (all!)
chant with me
qwah qwaaaah qwaoh qwah
chant!
qwah qwaaaah qwaoh qwah
pretty good, pretty good
qwah qwaaaah qwaoh qwah [x2]

oh no! here we go again!
the mighty spirit has taken over!
do you feel it, do you feel it?!
(bass master general)

he does everything for us [best guess for this phrase]
for when he brought it among us
the bass master issued[?] forth an all-timatum:
(we shall achieve all)

if you believe, if you believe
you shall achieve all, all, allll!!!
(we shall achieve all!)

Schizophrenia lyrics - Descendents

It's dark outside, I'm riding alone
But I know the road
Can't even see ahead of my nose
But I know the road
A little scared, but I know where to go
Cuz I know the road
I can do it by feel, take it real slow
I know the road

Hold on
Hold on
A fork in the road
Life in transition
Hold on
Hold on
Moving too fast
In the wrong direction
Hold on
Hold on
Gotta feel the road
Know my position

Break the speakers
Crack the books
Over you shoulder
Not another look
Burn off the shackles
Of a wooden past
Melt through the ice
Be free at last
Dare to be stupid
Dare to smell
You can be crazy
You can be hell
The end result
Is always the same
Whichever you choose
You lose
You're insane

Granite poured into my veins
Black hole explodes in my brain
The accident is to blame

You say you're going insane
Say it like you mean it, man
I wish I could, but I can't

You say that life is a pain
It isn't for me, man
I don't feel anything at all

Shield myself from the world
Hold everything inside
Fold my arms across my chest

Shield the world from myself
Make sure the sleeves are tied
Wrap my arms across my chest

Death is my life
Life is my Death
Lay my arms across my chest

I know the road
I know where it goes
I know the road
I know where it goes
Don't tell me what I already know
I know where it goes
That's why I'm going so slow

"Enjoy!" (1986)

Enjoy lyrics - Descendents

Flatulation punctuates the still night air
And I thank god you're here

I queefed - Enjoy
Make the most of my butt-toast
Enjoy my good friends - Enjoy

The laces of my shoes unlock the mystery
Come and share a treat with me
I can't recall the last time I washed my feet
We're in for a treat

Here's my shoes - Enjoy
And here's my socks - Enjoy
Make the most of my toe toast
Enjoy, my good friends - Enjoy

Flatulation punctuates the still night air
And I thank God you're here

I queefed - Enjoy
Smell my feces - Enjoy
Sniff my ass whilst I pass gas
Enjoy my good friends - Enjoy

Wendy lyrics - Descendents

Wendy, Wendy left me alone
Hurt so bad
Wendy, Wendy left me alone
Hurt so bad

Wendy, Wendy what went wrong
Oh so wrong
We went together for so long

I never thought a boy could cry
'Til you made it with another guy

Wendy, Wendy left me alone

Wendy, Wendy don't lose your head
Lose your head
Wendy don't believe a word he says

I can't picture you with him
His future looks awful dim

Oh Wendy, Wendy left me alone
Hurt so bad

Wendy I wouldn't hurt you like that
No no no
I thought we had our love down pat
Guess I was wrong

The farthest thing from my mind
Was the day that I'd wake up and find

Wendy, Wendy left me alone
Hurts so bad

Wendy, Wendy left me alone
Hurts so bad
Wendy, Wendy left me alone
Hurts so bad
Wendy, Wendy left me alone
Hurts so bad
[to fade]

Kids lyrics - Descendents

Warning the Basemaster General has determined that coffee is good for your health

Doug is bouncing off the walls
Ray is drooling big spit balls
Feeling cranky, logged all night

Kids on coffee

Where's my Bonus Cup?
Come on man, fill me up
I need some Krappers to wash it down

Kids on coffee

Kids on coffee

Went driving down to San Diego
Passing by the nuclear tits
Go away off my earth!

Kids on coffee!

Thanks to modern chemistry, sleeping is now optional.

Hürtin' Crüe lyrics - Descendents

Hurtin' Crue
Hurtin' Crue
Hurtin' Crue
Good future
Get a life
Get a job
Get a clue

Thought it would be so much fun
Just played another solo run
Fifteen hippies drinkin' Coors
Yelling at us to play "Free Bird"
Needless to say, all of our pay
went into the tank

1420
I am better than you
You are a piece of poo
I am better than you
You are a piece of poo
1420

Thought school would be such a blast
Just flunked another fucking class
Told myself too many lies
My mind's unfolding before my eyes
Now I know how it goes
What it means to go crazy

Sour Grapes lyrics - Descendents

Hi, I was just noticing you, across the room,
that's a really nice, pretty dress.
Well, I saw you smiling, gee..
I've never seen you before, and I was wondering, you know, if you, like, you know...
Ow no? Okay well, never mind, see you later.

Hey you, new wave, come over here
You're the prettiest thing I've seen all year
Hey you, new wave, don't turn away
Close those pouty lips and listen to what I say

Why must you smoke that clove cigarette?
Why must you act like you've got a hole in you head?
Why don't you split the squares and love me instead?

You're all shiny and clean,
I've seen you in my dreams
Like the Rolls Royce I can't have
Your presence makes me scream

Sour grapes - you leave such a bad taste
Sour grapes - I don't need you anyways
Sour grapes - feeding, feeding my rage

Sour grapes
Sour grapes
Sour grapes

Hey you, new wave, I pity you
When you get old, what will you do?
What will you do when you turn 21?
You're cockteasing at the singles bar just for fun
Tell me, tell me, what will you do when you turn 31?
What will you do when you don't know how to love anyone?

What you gonna do?
What you gonna do?

Well, I wanted her cherry, I got - sour grapes!
In the cute purple mini, you're just - sour grapes!
Well I refuse to climb the ladder for you - sour grapes!
No I refuse to pant and paw for you - sour grapes!
I need love, don't need no beauty queen - sour grapes!
But still, when I look at you, I scream

Sour grapes - you leave such a bad taste
Sour grapes - I don't need you anyways
Sour grapes - just go riding right by me on the crest of the new wave
Sour grapes - feeding, feeding my rage
Sour grapes

Get The Time lyrics - Descendents

When I get the time
I'd like to sit down and write a little rhyme for you
Just a couple few
I'd tell you what you mean to me [x2]

When I get the time
I'd put it all down and pick you up
I'd say throw it all away
The world is me and you tonight

Will there come a day with nothing standing in my way?
Living that dream within your arms
Well I'll make it happen someday
I'll make it happen someday
I'll make it happen
I'll make it happen someday

When I get the time
I gotta get the time
I get the time

I look in your eyes
Warm places inside I've never been before
I gotta find some more
I know you don't owe me anything

When I get the time
When I get the guts
To live my life for me
And do what I want to do

I'd be the friend that you said you once knew
Will there come a day when we give up and turn away?
And I'd have nothing left, nothing left except
I'd have all the time in the world, all the time in the world

Time to remember
Look through the window
And time to cry
Time to cry

I gotta get the time
Where can I find the time?
Get the time

Cheer lyrics - Descendents

It's been so long since I had a smile
I've stayed sad for such a long while
If you can cheer me up I could learn to love you
You kiss me now and I turn away
I think I'm still kissing yesterday
If you can cheer me up I could learn to love you

So love me, and cheer me up
Show me you're the one who can make me happy
Love me, and cheer me up
Show me you're the one who can make me happy
Cheer me up
Come on and cheer me up

Don't want to spend the rest of my days
Dreaming yesterday's daydreams

Out with the bad and in with the good
You feel my heart, girl, you're knocking on wood
If you can cheer me up I could learn to love you
So generous, I'm being kind
With selfishness in the back of my mind
If you can cheer me up I could learn to love you

So love me, and cheer me up
Show me you're the one who can make me happy
Love me, and cheer me up
Show me you're the one who can make me happy
Cheer me up
Come on and cheer me up

Don't want to spend the rest of my days
Dreaming yesterday's daydreams
Don't want to spend the rest of my days
Giving yesterday's promises

It's been so long since I had a smile
I've stayed sad for such a long while
If you can cheer me up I could learn to love you
No more giving my mind away
Tomorrow's love will be yesterday
If you can cheer me up I could learn to love you

So love me, and cheer me up
Show me you're the one who can make me happy
Love me, and cheer me up
Show me you're the one who can make me happy
Cheer me up
Come on and cheer me up

Don't want to spend the rest of my days
Dreaming yesterday's daydreams
Don't want to spend the rest of my days
Giving yesterday's promises
Don't want to spend the rest of my days
Living yesterday
Don't want to spend the rest of my days
Singing yesterday's love songs

80's Girl lyrics - Descendents

She says you're the only one
But she's an 80's girl
And she can't get enough
Treat you so right till your supply runs dry

Won't you please love my friends
Won't you please

Vroom - in a brand new car
She drives to the beach
Knows the language well
The moves and the speech
Behind a blinding smile
Hides her empty eyes

Won't you please love my friends
Won't you please suck my friends
Won't you please

80's girl needs a friend
Party down with everyone
80's girl needs a friend
Love you for the weekend
Won't you please love my friends

She's so modern
She's so stylish
Mohawk on one side
Long hair on the other
She's got all her bases covered

Won't you please love my friends
Won't you please suck my friends

She always wants someone else
She's an 80's girl, looking out for herself
So where do you draw the line
Between a whore and a concubine?

Won't you please love my friends
Won't you please

80's girl needs a friend
Getting the goods and having such a good time
80's girl needs a friend
Love you for the weekend
80's girl needs a friend
Never, never let it happen again

Won't you please love my friends
Won't you please fuck
