30 Foot Fall - Musical Polygamy

It looks like the fun has up and run away
Too scared to hold, and now too scared to break
We've put out roots down here but
There's a feeling I can't shake
Anticipating your next move
I can't get comfortable with you
And I try to weigh it out
We've nothing, everything to lose
You can't stand me, I'm sick of you
And what is this thing turning into?
And how can we hope for No hard feelings?
We built this together and now we're pulling down together
From different sides of the room
And when this is gone
What else are we gonna do?
We've gotten good at eye contact
While regurgitating lies
Learn to swallow hard so we won't cry
It's been so long since we laughed at the same things
The joke is on me and and you
fuck everything
I wonder who will be the first to quit
Examining, contaminating
We stay together for the children now
But they're not happy with us anyhow
What is it worth to renew our vows?

30 Foot Fall - Plastic

When I look into the eyes of the tough punk guys
With their stupid bondage belts
And the girls accessorize
With lots of little spikes and neat hair dyes
It's a whole subculture easy to commercialize
The Revolution wont come
Cause everybody's dumb
Drunk, fucked up on drugs-look at what it's come to:,
Tiny microcosm of a big stupid world
Short sighted, opinionated, gullible boys and girls!
This music's only rock-n-roll
Wont change the world or save your soul
Uniform Identity?
This trademark rebellion's not for me
Will there ever be a time when time doesn't matter
When a lack of money means your dreams aren't shattered
When chemicals don't take the edge off of life
And confidence keeps you whole inside
Can we ever look forward to not being bored
To not being scared to open closed doors
To love without holding anything back
To trust and share and stay intact?
Give me love don't give me hate
I'll stay aware and not sedate
Addicted to my sleepyhead
When it's time to wake up
I'll stay in bed
You can sell your soul for rock and roll
Turn off your brain
wait to grow old
Get a good job
How much plastic can you buy?
I dunno but here we go
Freedom is the easiest thing to lose
How many options can you choose?
From the choices they've already made for you?
Addicted to a sleepyhead
Some of us will sleep until we're dead
Trade in one uniform to wear another
That smothers you but never keeps you covered
Freedom is the easiest thing to lose
How many options can you choose?
From the choices they've already made for you?

30 Foot Fall - Throwaway

Back in the day you say you had it made
Hanging out all night and getting laid
All the colours had shown brighter
And your heart was so much lighter
Back in the day you say things weren't so lame
Now everybody seems to be the same
There's nothing happy here
And I don't think you're thinking clear
Your attitude is self-defeating
Your history's not worth repeating
Your life was just as lame back then
As you say it is now
Your rose coloured glasses deceive you
Reminisce all night
I'm not listerning to you
Cause 5 years from now will be the same old story anyhow
Back in they day you were a whiney little fuck
You hated the whole world for your bad luck
Your situation sucked you didn't change it
Now you tell a story but you rearrange it
Back in the day your rut wasn't so deep
That is the memory that you choose to keep
As you grow older it gets deeper
Try to climb out but the walls are steeper
Your attitude is self-defeating
Your history's not worth repeating
Your life was just as lame back then
As you say it is now
Your rose coloured glasses deceive you
Reminisce all night
I'm not listerning to you
Cause 5 years from now will be the same old story anyhow
You've got a life to live right now
You've got a self to build somehow
Trying to avoid the future?
Are you just afraid of failure?
I won't listern to your stories when
I see you've been killing time again
Your attitude is self-defeating
Your history's not worth repeating

30 Foot Fall - Better Off Dead

I woke up surprised and disappointed
to find out I was still me,
Last night should've killed me.
Took a shower couldn't scrub it off
Tried to scream, I could only cough
I can't trust myself to be my own friend.
Exhausted by the effort it takes to breathe,
The Whole world is against me
That's what I belive,
don't waste your empathy on me
[Chorus]
I'm through puttin one foot in front of the other
I'm do wanna run for cover
From the moment I wake up til I'm
starin at the ceiling trying to sleep
I wonder if I have a soul to keep.
Voices in my head will not turn off
There's a heavy weight on top
of my chest today,
I don't want it to go away because,
the moment I let down my guard,
life will hit me twice as hard
My mistake, I thought I could have
just one day off
From pushing boulders up steep hills,
playin in traffic for cheap thrills
I don't know what to do
that's why I'm tellin you that
[Chorus]
Sometimes there's nothing on my mind
but everything at one time
Find me sliding backwards down
to where I don't want to be found
Stop with these tests give me some rest
My heart is beating right out of my chest
I do believe I have a soul to keep.

30 Foot Fall - Ida Know

I get knocked down
I get back up
But I'm not gonna run away.
I've got too much to think about
to even try to hide
So when my life gets way too big
Well fuck it, that's my life.
If you wanna dance
You gotta pay the band
What once was hard to understand
Is something I've accepted
As a condition to this life
THE TRUTH WILL CHANGE AS SOON AS YOU FEEL ORGANIZED INSIDE
But who am I to give you direction anyway?
Stupid me trying to speak but stuttering
You see for yourself, or you fuck yourself
Ida know nothing no more.
There are times when I feel like it's time
To hold my nose and shut my mouth
(shut your mouth shit-head)
Cause people talk so much shit
You see it on their teeth
When they smile
When they talk
The conversation stinks
I don't talk too loud
(not like I used to)
The more I see the more I think
Experience breaks me down to
A lever that helps me recognize
And see things as they be
I can study what I see
And what It means to me
But who am I to give you direction anyway?
Stupid me trying to speak but stuttering
You see for yourself, or you fuck yourself
Ida know nothing no more.
They never knew that I existed
'Til they saw something they didn't like
Now they try to drag me down
With all their rumours and their words of spite
Though it bums me out a little
It don't matter too much what they say
Cause it's never said to my face
But they keep on talkin' anyway
You respect would be nice
But I don't need it
Disapprove of my life
But I still live it.

30 Foot Fall - Just Like Heaven

Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream she said
The one that makes me laugh she said
And threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it and I promise you
I promise that I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
Why are you so far away? she said
Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you?
That I'm in love with you?
You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream...
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone
Alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven

30 Foot Fall - Locash

When my dad was 25,
he had a helpless 2.5.
And our city was still growing,
and they had no way of knowing
that this place would turn to shit
and they'd have to hand it to their kids.
Enter the 25 year old me
whose eyes still have yet to see
what's to gain
from minimum wage
Productivity!
And I'm still learning to barely survive.
Getting used to scraping by.
So what's it like to not be broke?
Where'd the money go?
Don't ask me 'cause I don't know.
So where'd the money go?
Well don't ask me 'cause I don't know!
But the old regime is living well,
and I'm running out of things to sell out to!
Kid, I hate to have to fuck somebody hard,
or you compromise your spirit,
or you commercialize your art.
And if you only live for cash,
well then you can kiss my ass,
because you are the problem here!
Am I making myself clear?
Am I making myself clear?
So what's it like to not be broke?
Where'd the money go?
Don't ask me 'cause I don't know.
So what's it like to not be broke?
Where'd the money go?
Don't ask me 'cause I don't know.
Where'd the money go?
Don't ask me 'cause I don't know. [x2]

30 Foot Fall - I Hate Punk Rock

Here's a little story about a punk named Jed
Greasy stinky hair stuck out his fuckin' head
Arrogant and macho and stupid as can be
Always quick to tell me he's more punk than me
This is an example of what a jerk he is
He think he's some kind of punk rock whiz
He said if I was really punk I'd listen to The Germs
I smelled his stinky breath and I started to squirm
I hate punk rock
I hate punk rock
I hate punk rock
I do I do
I hate punk rock
I hate punk rock
I hate punk rock
Because of guys like you
I remember one time I was dancin' at a show
A poppy kind of band and Jed said they blow
That stuff is for guys who just want to get laid
He asked me what I thought but didn't wait for me to say
This is what I think about his attitude
He doesn't have to be so snotty fucking rude
And thinking for yourself doesn't mean you have to be a jerk
Being arrogant and ignorant doesn't take much work
I hate punk rock
I hate punk rock
I hate punk rock
I do I do
I hate punk rock
I hate punk rock
I hate punk rock
Because of guys like you
I hate punk rock
I hate punk rock
I hate punk rock
I do I do
I hate punk rock
I hate punk rock
I hate punk rock
Because of guys like you

30 Foot Fall - Popular Opinion

Some people live their life
Based on what they think is wrong or right
No matter if their views are rejected
Others make decisions
Based on what they think is popular
As long as what they say is accepted
Another day to ponder the truth
Another day to lie
I wonder what I'm gonna do
I've got the rest of my life
Our little subculture is full of this bullshit
With everybody shouting to be heard
Isn't it ironic, everybody has an answer
And there hasn't been anything learned
Another day to ponder the truth
Another day to lie
I wonder what I'm gonna do
I've got the rest of my life
I won't be a part of it, I can think for myself
I won't be a part of it, I can think for myself
I won't be a part of it, I can think for myself
I will stand apart from it, I can think for myself

30 Foot Fall - The Heroin Song

How can something so cliche, something so pathetic
Something so stupid be regarded as poetic
With mum on methadone and daddy on the nod
It's a picture full of death a syringe full of snot
You shoot up, you die. You shoot up, you die
And if your body lives, then you die inside
Another paper, another shot
Is the rust worth the risk, fuck no it's not
Our generation should be smart enough to know
The syringe, the gun, your life you blow
You shoot up, you die, you shoot up, you die
A false sense of security, you shoot up you die.
And now it's too late to change your mind.
Your life is empty, you fill it up with smack
Too much one night you end up on your back
You say you don't care, you're not afraid of dying
Now you're on a respirator and all your friends are crying
And now it's too late to change your mind!

30 Foot Fall - Fifteen

Fifteen years old and already on your own
A house that isn't happy doesn't feel much like a home
So you take things in your own hands, you're making your own choices
Gave up trying to talk to them cause they wouldn't hear your voice
Fifteen going on forty, but nowhere near grown up
Between a rock and a hard place the situation sucks
You aren't the first to be there, you sure won't be the last
Catch 22, your future shaped by your past
Acknowledge me as a human being
Look inside and find the love
I don't understand the pain I feel
Look inside and find the love
Fifteen going on forty, but nowhere near grown up
Between a rock and a hard place the situation sucks
You aren't the first to be there, you sure won't be the last
Catch 22, your future shaped by your past
You're a Winner, a loser, a glory confuser
Sometimes you wanna be all alone, don't be such a loser
Acknowledge me as a human being
Look inside and find the love
I don't understand the pain I feel
Look inside and find the love
I recognize your struggle I see through your pleading eyes
Camouflaged by an anxious smile your paid identified
It looks like the end of the world is here for you
Now you're thinking about enternal rendezvous
But listen to me please, don't kill yourself today
Be strong, I know you'll pull through someway
It's gonna get better someday you won't have to cry
It's gonna get better you don't have to die.

30 Foot Fall - Happy Song

I'm happy being me, are you happy being you?
If you live your life for someone else, you've got alot to lose
Personal identity is something I hold dear
Won't bow to insecurity, I will not live in fear
I'm happy with myself, yeah man, I feel alright
And we can disagree but we don't have to fight
I'm happy with myself, yeah man, I feel alright
And we can disagree but we don't have to fight.
And if you're just so hardcore that you can't take a joke
Then my advice is to lighten up, don't give yourself a stroke
But if making something out of nothing is what you wanna do
Then you can have the headaches... and fuck you
I'm happy with myself, and man, I feel alright
And we can disagree but we don't have to fight
I'm happy with myself hey man, is that alright?
And who told you that you do everything right?
Do what you wanna do to make a better day
Do what you wanna do to find a better way
Do what you wanna do I hope you'll be fine
Do something for yourself while you still have the time.
I'm happy with myself, and man, I feel alright
And we can disagree but we don't have to fight
I'm happy with myself hey man, is that alright?
And we can disagree but we don't have to fight

30 Foot Fall - Opposite Day

It's Opposite Day and that's why I'm smilin'
about all the phone numbers I keep dialin'
to tell everyone I hate that I love you.
You'll shrug and you'll smile when you hear the good news
about how I'd love to walk in your shoes.
Look me right in the eye and tell me that you love me too.
There are letters to write and places to visit,
for 24 hours I'll eat my own shit,
pretend like I'm Jesus so we can all be friends...
Because it's Opposite Day, oh yeah
and tomorrow I might hate you,
and probably the next day too.
It's Opposite Day, and I love you.
It's Opposite Day and Metallica's new stuff
is so much better than Master of Puppets,
and I don't need a shower cause I don't stink.
It's Opposite Day and I'm eating a big steak
and washing it down with a frosty milkshake.
I truly believe that all cows have to die, cows, die.
It's Opposite Day that's why, oh, why.
And tomorrow I'll eat tofu,
and probably the next day too.
It's Opposite Day so fuck tofu.
You know, I'm really glad I quit school for this, because you guys are
all so intelligent. Of course, I never masturbate in the back of the van
on tour. You know, I'm a way better bass player than most people.
You know it's really great playing in a band with you guys, seriously.
It's Opposite Day!
It's dark outside!
It's Opposite Day!
I really like you guys!
It's Opposite Day!
'cause you're so smart!
It's Opposite Day!
You're a work of art!
It's Opposite Day!
Your breath smells great!
It's Opposite Day!
I never masturbate!
It's Opposite Day!
I wanna be like you!
It's Opposite Day!
and I love you!
