WE STUFF
I must have hit my head to think what I think instead
We’re riding on the merry-go-round
With our heads in space and it’s a long way down
But we don’t worry about it
We’ll just change with the wind and pretend like we knew all along
What’s this we stuff I keep hearing about cos there was no “we”
When you were figuring everything out
What’s this we stuff I keep hearing about cos there was no “we”
When you were figuring everything out
I must be sick in my mind confused, mystified
We’re dancing on the bleeding edge
And you can’t join the party ‘til you get into bed
You’d better believe what we believe
And join the choir you can never leave
What’s this we stuff I keep hearing about cos there was no “we”
When you were figuring everything out
What’s this we stuff I keep hearing about cos there was no “we”
when you were figuring everything out
What’s this we stuff I keep hearing about
What’s this we stuff I keep hearing about cos there was no “we”
When you were figuring everything out
I‘m frozen in place - only my eyes can move
And what they see can’t be real, it couldn’t be true, oh no
We’re playing a dangerous game
But it doesn’t matter cos we’re all insane
And we don’t care cos we’re all liars
And we keep dancing with the house on fire
What’s this we stuff I keep hearing about cos there was no “we”
When you were figuring everything out
What’s this we stuff I keep hearing about cos there was no “we”
When you were figuring everything out
What’s this we stuff I keep hearing about
What’s this we stuff I keep hearing about cos there was no “we”
When you were figuring everything out

Lovin' Me Lovin' Me Lovin' Me
You used to hate me / But now you’re lovin’ me lovin’ me lovin’ me
You used to hate me / But now you’re lovin’ me lovin’ me lovin’ me, yeah
Funny how the ones who said I won’t do what you tell me
Are the ones who are under control in the 21st century
Funny how the ones who said “fuck you”
Are the ones being told what to do
And they’re doing it and they’re doing it anyway and doing it well
And all good intentions and best laid plans lead directly to hell
Funny how the ones with the open minds
Have traded the garden for a handful of seductive lines (chorus)
Suddenly the ones who said don’t believe what they told ya
Are the ones who are standing in line like good little soldiers
Suddenly the ones whose ships wouldn’t sink
Are the ones being told what to think
And they’re thinking it and they’re thinking it anyway and thinking it well
And now they’re the ones telling things
And believing in the things that they tell
All of the things that you despised
Life is strange, ain’t it funny how everything changes? (chorus)
And you say you’re an anarchist
Mom and Dad are gonna be so pissed
All the while you couldn’t resist
Grabbing for more hand over fist
I think you know my name
But you’re lovin’ me just the same (solo)
Funny how the ones who raged against the old machinery
Are the ones who are hanging out in the new penitentiary
Funny how the ones who were so un-dumb
Are the ones who are under the thumb of the mastery of the bastardly
How does it feel to live your life with a brain that’s a battlefield
And nothing is real?
And the weather’s looking fine
The march is on, so you’d better get back in line (chorus 2x)

Very Much Alive
I keep waiting for the dawn
It’s so dark I’m barely holding on
Let’s see how long it takes
‘Til everything completely breaks
It’s easier the other way
I wasn’t born yesterday
If I’m a dreamer in your eyes
At least I know I’m very much alive
I’m very much alive
I’m very much alive
I’m very much alive
It feels like it doesn’t end
Pick up the pieces, stack them up again
Let’s see how high we go
‘Til everything well you know
It’s easier the other way
I wasn’t born yesterday
If I’m a dreamer in your eyes
At least I know I’m very much alive
I’m very much alive
I’m very much alive
I’m very much alive
I’m very much alive
I’m very much alive

Book Report
I made a song and it sounds a lot like pornography
So I did a book report about pornography
I made a song and it sounds a lot like pornography
So I did a book report about pornography
Porn is the portrayal of explicit sexual subject matter
For the purpose of sexual excitement and erotic satisfaction
Some don’t like it, others do
But porn provides something to do for people
Who would otherwise do something else
I made a song and it sounds a lot like pornography
So I did a book report about pornography
The word derives from the Greek “pornographia”
Which derives from two Greek words
Loosely translated as “prostitution illustrated”
Victorian scholars were shocked to excavate explicit
Ancient Roman porn
It was locked away from a secret museum
So as not to corrupt the minds of the hoi polloi
Some don’t like it, others do
But porn provides something to do for people
Who would otherwise do something else
I made a song and it sounds a lot like pornography
So I did a book report about pornography
I made a song and it sounds a lot like pornography
So I did a book report about pornography

Feels So Real
When it hits it makes me smile
I never dared to believe you were waiting for me
And I wouldn’t ask for on thing more
Could it be I’m only dreaming?
But it feels so real
And you don’t know, and you don’t know how it feels
When it feels so real, yeah
I was once a refugee
Just a dreamer in a world of make-believe
Now I’ve wakened to a life that’s sublime
And it’s altogether possible I’m walking in my sleep
But it feels so real
And you don’t know, and you don’t know how it feels
When it feels so real, yeah
Whenever you’re with me it’s how it’s supposed to be
I love to see the magic in your eyes
You are the air I breathe, you’re everything to me
You are the reason I’m alive
We’re all just passing through
Dreams fade away, sometimes they follow you
Every dream comes to an end
Then a new dream begins again
But it feels so real
And you don’t know, and you don’t know how it feels
When it feels so real, yeah

High School is Over
Save me from the humiliation of wishful exaggeration
I’ve heard the same story 50 times
Each time you wax poetic, really now it’s a bit pathetic
Can’t you see you’re boring me out of my mind?
My eyes are rolling right out of my head
You keep talking full speed ahead
I’m turning into a skeleton I’m already dead
High school is over, so stop talking about it
High school is over, I don’t wanna hear about it
Oh, the funny things you did and the clever things you said
You were much too much, the young and the wild
Take a breath and take some pity, your audience is in captivity
Can we change the subject for a while?
The jokes get wittier, the girls get prettier
Maybe this whole thing is an elaborate lie
High school is over, so stop talking about it
High school is over, I don’t wanna hear about it
I don’t wanna hear about it
SHUT UP!
High school is over, so stop talking about it
High school is over, I don’t wanna hear about it
High school is over, so stop talking about it
High school is over, I don’t wanna hear about it
I don’t wanna hear about it
I don’t wanna hear about it
I don’t wanna hear about it
I don’t wanna hear about it

Secret Laboratory
I keep my hands wide open to receive the blessing of the universe
I keep my senses alive to see it dance before my eyes
I don’t wanna lose my breath / I don’t wanna be amused to death
And I don’t need the freedom of your prison
I don’t want to lose control / I don’t want to lose my burning soul desire, desire
This is my time / and this is my place / these are my dreams / and these are my ways
This is my world / and this is my space / this is my life / and these are my crazy days
So back it up / Get your dirty body out of my secret laboratory
Get your dirty body out of my secret laboratory / back it up
I keep a luminous mind to see things close and far away at the same time
I straggle the line between reality and things that have yet to unwind
I don’t want to lose my grip / I don’t want to take a complicated trip
I don’t care about the web you’re weaving
Take your threats and promises
I don’t want to have to hear what you believe in, believe in
This is my thing / and these are my friends / these are my means / and these are my ends
These are my highs / and these are my lows / this is goodbye
Don’t let the door hit you when it closes / Back it up
Get your dirty body out of my secret laboratory
Get your dirty body out of my secret laboratory
This is my time / and this is my place / these are my dreams / and this is my way
This is my world / and this is my space / this is my life / and these are my crazy days
So back it up / Get your dirty body out of my secret laboratory
Get your dirty body out of my secret laboratory / back it up
