Partial Lyrics From Start Today

STAND STILL

Sitting down on a couch, you watch,a fucking slave to a TV show.
You thought before but you sat and dropped. What did you learn?
You don't even know, now I kid myself but my eyes are glued on this thing.
It steals my time and wastes what I've learned.
I'm holding out for a better deal, for something real.

you know I'd like to Say that I could spend a day at home with it left off.
How stong's our will

I can't fit in with the ads I see. They're better looking than me.
you try to look your best, but you'll never rest. Think,
it won't make you happy.
A standard set that i just cannot Live up to.

It steals my time and wastes what I've learned. I'm holding out for
a better deal, for something real. you know I'd like to Say that I
could spend a say at home with it left off. How stong's our will
Our Lives are led by TV shows, you know it's true.
Instead of thinking we play Donkey Kong. There's nothing wrong with
that. We're made to think life is like a game show. So here we go
again. The one who dies with the most toys is the one who wins.
I just can't stand it.

Sitting down on a couch, you watch, a fucking slave to a TV show.
you thought before but you sat and dropped. What did you learn? you
don't even know. Is it a brain vacation, or mental masturbation?
It steals my time and wastes what I've learned. I'm holding out for
some reality. I'd like to say that I could spend a day at home
with it left off. How stong 's our will?

DEGRADATION

Tell me who's pure.
Tell me who's right
Tell me the last time that you fought a fair fight. A loser's way
to find some friends, you look like a skin but that's where it ends.
True, they're always at our shows, It doesnt mean we fit in with their
hatred and racism shit. they ruin our name, you know what I mean.
Racial supremicists degrade our scene.

You know you can kiss my ass before I read you 'zine there's no
good side to this white power scene. Kids beat down for standing up.
your turn will come because we've all had enough.
You look like kids we know. you're not welcome here.
You don't play music and we don't play fear. I guess it's your right
to be proud that you're white. Are you here for music or just to pick
fights?

Don't fool you self cause you don't fool me. It's not just blacks
you hate, It's everyone you see. Rich, poor, young and Old,
whoever's in you way. What a boring life, hating every day.
YOU"VE GOT NOTHING BUT HATRED!

GOOD INTENTIONS

Things I try don't work out, Other people gripe and shout.
That's not positive. I'm not perfect. I'm just Civ.

Trial and error...Good Intentions!

Throw a beer at the satge, that's how you behave. Paid addmission,had no fun.
You think I'm the stupid one.

Think again...Good Intentions!

I'll just try my best...and you?
Nothing.

FORGOTTEN

Dedicated to your cause look at all the friends you've lost.
Discarded beacause I'm no more use. Our tight friendship is hanging loose.
Stepping on the people who were getting all the things you wanted.
now that you've got them we're forgotten. No need

for token intrest in my life. Don't make amends, don't even try. Guilty
Conscience? maybe not. You just want more of what I've got.
Stepping on the people who were getting all the things you wanted.
Now that you've got them we're forgottten.

Try and think why you carry on this way. It's not you talking.
It's your greed I hear. nothing means nothing If you're insincere.

I don' know why you decide I'm not worth calling up. things have
changed between you and me. We don't hang out but that's ok.

THINGS WE SAY

Humor's got a place like all things. Be aware of the pain it can sometimes
bring. A joke to you might not be so funny, so take the time and think
it out before you open up your mouth.

I can't belive the things we say. A cutting word can ruin days.
I can't belive the things we say. Now I wish I hadn't spoke.
Can't you learn to take a fucking joke.

We say things we don't mean but friends understand. Stength and humor
don't always go hand in hand. a joke to you might not be so funny,
so take the time and think it out before you open up your mouth.

I can't belive the things we say. A cutting word can ruin days.
I can't belive the things we say. Now I wish I hadn't spoke.
Can't you learn to take a fuckin' joke.

But no ones laughing. I wish I could crack a smile, but I can't.
I know he's just a fucking jerk. but jerks hurt too. and I'm not that
cool that I can laugh. I see beacuse it's happened to me and I think
I was an asshole when I said what I said. It's just a sick sense of
humor rolls around in my head. Cause we've had our fun at your expense
and that's wrong. And we know it. you said we were friends. For
friendship's sake. let's give it a brake.

I can't belive the things we say. A cutting word can ruin days.
I can't belive the things we say. Now I wish I hadn't spoke.
Can't you learn to take a fuckin' joke!


TWO SIDES


Some people think they're always right and rght is all they'll ever be.
Well there's two sides and ego's divide. And we're so concerned with who's
right.

These people are so quick to judge. Let's get the judgement straight.
it's not who's wrong it's how we get along. And I'm not too sure that
we do yet.

TRUTH is a word that you're of. Or so you've said but I'd love to see you
give someone else a chance.

Open up, It's not so hard. Is hard what you want to be to kick some ass.
It's a sure bet you'll get your way with no friends left.

Don't say you don't. For God's sake give me a fucking brake.
you don't even know my name.

TRUTH is a word that you're sure of. Or so you've said but I'd love to see you
give someone else a chance.

I listen to the things you say, I've weighed the facts out in my head.
Can you do the same...No, then don't waste my time.

TRUTH is a word that you're of. It's all you said but I'd love to see you
give someone else a chance.

This time my mind is set. My side you'll never get. What I say.
What did you say. We can both be right just not in the same way.
You think we could reach some common ground...No...no way


FIRST FAILURE


I've worked so hard on things that never seemed to pay off.
But looking back I realize that I never really meant that much.
And I let you down . It might not be the last time. I'm sorry,
and I know how it feels when my eyes see a loser in the mirror.
I think "what did I do?" sure I fucked up, but I got back up,
so that loser shits out the window
And if I let you down., it might not be the last time. Cheer up,
it will hurt much less tomorrow. We're all tired of fucking up and
that's not just being sorry. It means brush the dirt off, get up and try
again

When you1re sick of trying, how can you expect to succeed?
I can't recall my first failure, and I'll forget this one too over time

And if I let you down, it might not be the last time. Cheer up,
it will hurt much less tomorrow. We're all tired of fucking up and
that's not just being sorry. It means brush the dirt off, get up and try
again


COMPETITION


It seems that all succesful things and all the envy that they bring
might not be worth it. being shot down every minute for the effort you
put in and all the time that you've spent. The key to success is the
faith in knowing you're right.

Memories of better days is what you're holding onto,
when the critics loved you.
Competition has it's way of bringing you down.

Always being number one, robs the music of it's fun,
Ego trips get in the way of the goals we set. Now the audience is split.
We've workd too hard to watch it ALL FADE AWAY.

Memories of better days is what you're holding onto, when the critics
loved you.
Competition has it's way of making you mad. Why can't you be glad...for
me?

Well i know what competion means and all the feelings that it brings.
Friends that want to be on top, you're on the list of the friends to
drop.
Success is what I want to feel, it's jealousy...and jealousy's not true.
No it's not true...at your expense. in competition with you.

TIME FLIES

I'm lucky to be where I am today. not by myself, summers on the way.
The jobs I'll be working, the money I'll spend, not making a living,
just making new friends. And I'm trying my hardest to make the most out
of every minute. Not getting any younger, getting older. it's scary.

Swept out from under your feet your youth's gone and you wonder why...
BECAUSE TIME FLIES

how much does it cost the booze and the drugs you need.
Put your life on pause. Is it that much fun, maybe for some.
I think its dumb to let anyone or anything slow me down or prevent me
from living my life. Not getting younger, getting older. It's scary.
swept out from under your feet your youth's gone and you wonder why.

Work machine makes us old before our time. I don't consent that's how I
feel. Because life's too short , so I do what I can to get by.
I'll decide where my time is spent and you can bet there'll be a smile
on my face. how about yours? How about yours!?

CATS AND DOGS

Man's best friend is beautiful and affectionate, an ideal pet.
Cats are the same, we make up their names and our love for them is real.
Listen up, I gotta ask you, how can we be so cruel? You say you care, that's
a lie. My true compassion is for all living things and not just the ones
who are cute so I do what I can. I wanna save lives and I've got a plan.

Under the table he'll eat your dinner like the veggies we can't stand.
What kind of meal would he make? We don't want to ask it.
Tradition is all that keeps him alive. Listen up, I gotta ask
how can we be so cruel? You say you care, that's a lie.
My true compassion is for all living things and not just the ones
who are cute so I do what I can. I wanna save lives and I've got a plan.

Why am I so upset. Don't even own a pet. I am not trying to press my will.
I am not the first to say...
THOU SHALT NOT KILL

Full is all you want to feel. We eat to stay alive,
but it's their lives we steal. I think we'd like to change,
but most of us are stuck, that's why cats and dogs have
ALL THE LUCK.

Please, No More Words, I Just Want To Go Back...
