Descendents Lyrics
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
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

But we know that hate will destroy this place
So right now I'm asking you to join our side

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
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

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
