Key of B
03:08
|
|||
|
When I met you I could barely play guitar
My fingers found my way all the way up your bar
I tried my, my best to stay away
I would return the very next day.
I said B, you’re the one for me,
I said B, you’re the one for me,
The key of B
I spent some time with F, but I didn’t like her tone
C and G were cool we would always rock and roll
Along came A and she blew me away
But it was B that always resonated with me.
I said B, you’re the one for me,
I said B, you’re the one for me,
The key of B
Every once in a while
G would make me smile,
but then you came along
and I knew just what to do.
I said B, you’re the one for me,
I said B, you’re the one for me,
I said B, you’re the one for me,
I said B, you’re the one for me,
I said B, you’re the one for me,
The key of B

You’ve got what I want
You’ve got what I need
You’ve got what I want
Give it to me
I see you in the day
I see you in the night
I see you all the time
All right
I look out my window
I sit and I wait
I see you coming
It’s never too late
You’ve got what I want
You’ve got what I need
You’ve got what I want
Give it to me
I see you in the day
I see you in the night
I see you all the time
All right
I look out my window
I sit and I wait
I see you coming
It’s never too late
You’ve got what I want
You’ve got what I need
You’ve got what I want
Give it to me
I see you in the day
I see you in the night
I see you all the time
All right
All right

Con Job
02:20
|
|||
|
I'm two weeks out of prison and I haven't got a job.
I spend my daytime looking for a place that I can rob.
My father often warned me I would meet a tragic end.
But I paid him no heed, alas. Now no man is my friend.
My years in jail conditioned me to live by evil means.
In stir, yes, sir, it's black and white. There are no in betweens.
For those who knew me once, I think you'd recognize me still.
But now my eyes are cold ..and my first ..instinct ...is ..to kill.
An ex-con has ten ways to lose for every chance to win.
I'm livin' at the corner of cruel memory and sin.
And if I'm seen outside your house, it's best to hide your kin.
If I knock twice, take my advice and do not let me in.
My years in jail conditioned me to live by evil means.
In stir, yes, sir, it's black and white. There are no in betweens.
For those who knew me once, I think you'd recognize me still.
But now my eyes are cold ..and my first ..instinct ...is ..to kill.
My years in jail conditioned me to live by evil means.

Rainy Nights
02:38

Rainy nights and empty streets,
When despair sets in deep.
It’s times like this I think of you,
It’s times like this you get me through.
C’mon pick me up,
I don’t wanna be down,
C’mon pick me up
I’m Hanging at the bars at night,
I’m getting drunk and starting fights.
I’m lost confused and full of hate,
I’m up I’m down sideways and straight.
C’mon pick me up,
I don’t wanna be down,
C’mon pick me up
As I walk down the streets at night
I’m looking for a guiding light
I’m hoping that you’re within my reach.
It’s your love that I seek.
C’mon pick me up,
I don’t wanna be down,
C’mon pick me up

Nothing To Be Learned
02:59
|
|||
|
The heart, the heart keeps pacing
The room, the room keeps racing
What do you know, what do you know,
What do you know now?
The love, the love keeps flying
The dreams, the dreams keep dying
All in a row, All in a row,
All in a row now
Welcome to the ball,
Welcome to the place
Welcome to the tracks
Where the humans race
Running around, runnin' round
with their blinders ooo-ooonnnn…
There is nothing to be learned,
nothing to be gained,
nothing left to know,
nothing left to name,
Where do we gooo-oooh?…
When there’s nothing to be learned
The rich, the rich keep making
The take, it just keeps taking
Tamping us down, stamping us down,
Into the ground now
The hate, the hate keeps feeding
Machines, are built for needing
Gather it all, gather it all
Where did it go now?
Welcome to the ball,
Welcome to the place
Welcome to the tracks
Where the humans race
Running around, runnin' round
with their blinders ooo-ooonnnn…
There is nothing to be learned,
nothing to be gained,
nothing left to know,
nothing left to name,
Where do we gooo-oooh?…
When there’s nothing to be learned
The power, the power's corrupted
The truth, has been disrupted
Over again, over again
And on again now
Welcome to the ball,
Welcome to the place
Welcome to the tracks
Where the humans race
Running around, runnin' round
with their blinders ooo-ooonnnn…
There is nothing to be learned,
nothing to be gained,
nothing left to know,
nothing left to name,
Where do we gooo-oooh?…
When there’s nothing to be learned
Where do we gooo-oooh?…
When there’s nothing to be learned
Where do we gooo-oooh?…
When there’s nothing to be learned

With A Scarlet Letter
02:12
|
|||
|
Years ago, everywhere
Word on the street
Was let the buyer beware
You’d walk down the street
We’d all stop and stare together
Walking by the India dock
It was midnight
By the Custom House clock
Don’t you think
We’ll end up in the stocks together?
I like you better - whoa-oh
With a scarlet letter - whoa-oh
I like you better - whoa-oh
With a scarlet letter
In Puritan days
Things were pretty grim
They were cracking down on Hester Prynne
God was harsh and bleak
Like New England weather
But our founding fathers
They were great
With the separation of Church-N-State!!
We gotta hold the line
Before it’s too late, forever!!
I like you better - whoa-oh
With a scarlet letter - whoa-oh
I like you better - whoa-oh
With a scarlet letter
(spoken word)
Shameless hussy!
Stay in thy rank
I’ll have you fitted for a brank!
Scolding woman - don’t be a fool
I’ll have you seated in the ducking stool
I like you better - whoa-oh
With a scarlet letter - whoa-oh
I like you better - whoa-oh
With a scarlet letter - whoa-oh
I like you better - whoa-oh
With a scarlet letter - whoa-oh
I like you better - whoa-oh
With a scarlet letter - whoa-oh-oh-ohoohhh

I Can't Get Over You
01:53
|

I can’t get over you
No matter what I do
I think of you
All the time
I can’t get you out of my mind
I can’t get you out of my mind
I’ll do the dishes
I’ll fold the clothes
I’ll make you tea in the morning
And butter your toast
I can’t get over you
No matter what I do
I think of you
All the time
I can’t get you out of my mind
I can’t get you out of my mind
I’ll trim your bushes
I’ll mow the lawn
I’ll weed your garden
All night long
I can’t get over you
No matter what I do
I think of you
All the time
I can’t get you out of my mind
I can’t get you out of my mind
I can’t get you out of my mind
I can’t get you out of my mind
I can’t get you out of my mind

I made a bunch of stuff
I tried to share it with the world
I want to get some friends
Yeah, I want to meet some girls
But each and every day
No attention comes my way

And a selfie at the mall
And I shared a meme pic of my cat
Liked every-bod-y’s wall,
But no matter what I do
No one’s watching it, I’m blue

And my grams had lots of instas’
But everybody balked
I took a loan for this damn phone
And yet I’m lonesome to the bone

Library Girl
02:49
|

Have you ever had the fantasy
about the girl in the library
who looks so cool in her intellectual glasses.
Do you feel ill-equipped
when she whispers in your ear
that you need to be a little more quiet.
She's so cool!
She's so fine!
Library girl
Send me a sign.
So I went back next week
to return my book and pay my fee,
that's when I saw her reading “Infinite Jest.”
I put my head down, and I headed to the counter,
that's when she came over,
she looked at my book and she promptly walked away.
She's so cool!
She's so fine!
Library girl
Send me a sign.

Ball Me Out Lyrics, by DMZ
Source: https://genius.com/Dmz-punk-ball-me-out-lyrics
Abridged lyrics based on The Dogmatics modified song arrangement (Note: lyrics match the source, not whatever Peter “sang”):
Well, I'm sorry Mommy, but I didn't pass the test
Then Daddy, Daddy turned my life into a mess
You know I tried and tried to show I'm really not so bad
And then I say the word, and you started getting mad
And then you ball me out, baby, ball me out, now
All you ever wanna do is ball me out
Ball me out, baby, ball me out
Well, I can see the trouble that is headed straight for me
And then you ball me out, baby, ball me out, now
All you ever wanna do is ball me out
Well, I walk into the store but I ain't got the dough
So I pick out an album and I walk out the door
Then I run down the street, I think I got it made
Then a hand on my shoulder and your big ugly face
And then you ball me out, baby, ball me out, now
All you ever wanna do is ball me out
Ball me out, baby, ball me out
But I can see the trouble that is headed straight for me
When you ball me out, baby, ball me out, now
All you ever wanna do is ball me out
Well, I'm sorry Mommy, but I didn't pass the test
And then Daddy, Daddy turned my life into a mess
You know I tried and tried to show I'm really not so bad
And then I say the word, and you started getting mad
And then you ball me out, baby, ball me out, now
All you ever wanna do is ball me out
Ball me out, baby, ball me out
Well, I can see the trouble that is headed straight for me
When you ball me out, baby, ball me out, now
All you ever wanna do is ball me out
