She Said 02:39
Fuck me I’m blessed 8 pounds an hour I’m raking in And all these hours I worked Don’t have to think what I could have been And I’m becoming obsessed With fixing these problems I’ve made for myself I spend my time thinking that I’m making a change What a joke, I’m losing, time for things to change Said "You are nothing Put your head to the grindstone” that’s what you said Got nothing left But this feeling that you give to me” That’s what she said You hang around the house you might as well be dead Said “you’re fucking dead” And I’m losing myself I’ve got no concept of time anymore But it’s far too late Don’t have a chance to turn my life around And I can’t get out Stuck in a game I’m playing with myself Someone help me out Stuck in a game I’m playing with myself Said “you are nothing Put your head to the grindstone” that’s what you said “I’ve got nothing left But this feeling that you give to me” That’s what she said “You hang around the house you might as well be dead” Said “you’re fucking dead” Dead

It’s a never ending process On a Friday afternoon You were going to take it easy You're seeing everything in twos 'Cause that first drink was bought for you The second and then the third Well it is a weekend Everything become a blur You're drunk again! 'Cause that first drink was bought for you The second and then the third Well it is a weekend Everything become a blur You're drunk again! Drunk again! Drunk again! Drunk again! Drunk again! Drunk again! Drunk again! Drunk again! You're drunk again!

You’re a liar, you’re a waste of space You’re full of it, why don’t you go away? You only lie and cheat, how can you show your face? I’ve got opinions, but I’ve got nothing Got Nothing to say Got nothing to say Got nothing to say Got nothing to say Got nothing Things would be better if you chose not to preach Do you not understand? Or is it out of reach? This is your warning, you’d better go away I’ve got opinions, but I’ve got nothing Got nothing to say Got nothing to say Got nothing to say Got nothing to say Got nothing Got nothing to say Got nothing to say Got nothing to say Got nothing

14 Pills 02:49
Everyday the same old thing Fuck around but do nothing I don't want to know why I always watch my TV Screen It's just the way it's always been I don't even know why So take your pills It's all the same Fourteen pills Three times a day So take your pills That's all there is It's got to get Better than this Can't feel my feet, can't feel my nose Can't work out where the time goes I don't want to know why Am I sane, am I mad My head is hurting real bad I don't even know why So take your pills It's all the same Fourteen pills Three times a day So take your pills That's all there is It's got to get Better than this My liver is in a mess, my heart is pounding in my chest I don't want to know why My kidneys hurt my eyes are pounding Take more pills to stop the swelling I don't even know why So take your pills It's all the same Fourteen pills Three times a day So take your pills That's all there is It's got to get Better than this

When I was seven And I used to go to school I wasn’t interested In the golden rule There was only One thing on my mind Every Wednesday I’d be the first in line Jamie Oliver, I want my Twizzlers back You took away my rights to a heart attack. Jamie Oliver, how can you sleep at night? You took away my chance for just one more bite Your school dinners Are not what I want Your negative Publicity stunt Only went to prove So many can be wrong But I suspect You knew that all along Jamie Oliver, I want my Twizzlers back You took away my rights to a heart attack. Jamie Oliver, how can you sleep at night? You took away my chance for just one more bite.
