Lyrics

So you grew up in a town where everybody's all the same.
Like a city full of zombies going by the same name.
Saying "Eat this", "Wear that, Think ya know just where it's at,
when everybody's just alike, Now tell me how you deal with that!
This much is true, So here's the finger let me say it.

There's the right way, then there's my way
there's a highway, if you don't like it you can take it.
So just talk away, I don't hear a word you say.
I'll be my way. If you don't like it you can take it.

You got the ultimate song, but you're fuckin' up the words
and you're falling from the bridge that goes straight into the verse.
They're sayin' "Do this", "Do that", tell ya how to wear your hat.
If everyone was just alike I don't think I could deal with that.
This much is true, So can ya hear me as I'm saying, .

There's the right way, then there's my way,
there's a highway, if you don't like it you can take it.
So just talk away, I don't hear a word you say.
I'll be my way. If you don't like it you can take it.

I don't want to be the one who does everything like I'm told to. [repeat 4]

There's the right way, then there's my way, there's a highway, [repeat 2]

if you don't like it you can take it.
So just talk away, I don't hear a word you say.
I'll be my way. If you don't like it you can take it.

There's the right way, then there's my way,
there's a highway, if you don't like it you can take it.
So just talk away, I don't hear a word you say.
I'll be my way. If you don't like it you can take it.

I don't want to be the one who does everything like I'm told to. [repeat 3]

Oh! Well, remember the guy who was a football star?
He had it made with the ladies but he never got far.
Five years past, now he's gotten kind of fat,
working eight days a week at the Laundromat.
With his Momma and his Daddy breathing down his neck,
about everything he does so much it makes him sick.
So he sits home alone, with the game on tv,
as the crowd goes wild he says, "That coulda been me!"

Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautiful day in Suburbia.
Best not let it get the best of you.
Is it everything you thought it would be?

Remember playing games at the rich kid's home?
His Dad owned a bank, while his mom was alone.
Everyday with the mailman, the trash man, lawn guy...
Kid didn't look a damn thing like his Dad [I knew why]
He grew up got a job making eighty grand a year
Had a wife and kid, all the guys call a queer
But his dad never knew, he was too blind to see
he said, Guess it kinda ran in the family.

Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautiful day in Suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you thought it would be?

Remember the girl down the street with the kids
That used to come outside, but she never did?
[why?]Cause she was trying to hide the bruises where her old man beat her,
'cause he hit her in the face with an old space heater. [ow!]
and he came home drunk and tried to force sex on her
But he didn't see a 44 stuffed in the covers
So she waited til he came, he lie there naked
Before she blew his head off, she told him she'd been faking
all along, so long for everything you done wrong
Here's a bullet, go to hell, cause its where you belong!

Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautiful day in Suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Just another day in Suburbia, Yeah, this is how we're living in Suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you want it to be?

No one understands it, no one comprehends it
Guess you had to be there, from the outside looking in.
So I put my Outkast record on,
turn up the volume cause I'm all alone and scream away.

Remember the cutest couple in the world
Ya know he was the punk and she was Daddy's little girl.
and graduation came and she wanted him to stay
he had bigger better dreams waiting out in L.A.
She cried and he cried as the plane flew away
She never, ever, wanted it to end this way.
Two years later she reads in the news,
he'd gone on to be a big star but nobody knew.
cause he changed up his name but his heart stayed the same,
cause every song he wrote, was about her, he claimed.
he never got to tell her cause he died that year,
from all of the coke, and the pills, and the beer,
and the whole world cried, but just for one day
cause sooner or later, the pain goes away.

Just another day in Suburbia, it's a beautiful day in Suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you thought it would be?
Just another day in Suburbia, Yeah, this is how we're living in Suburbia
Best not let it get the best of you
Is it everything you want it to be?

Just another day [repeat 6]

Partied at a house till four, came out from a closet door Makeup all over my face. We just did what people do, how was I to know that you were gonna turn around and say...'Somethin's not right, somethin' that night' (Said) you gave in, I gave out I put in, you put out And you screamed and I shouted Now we're both in lotsa trouble You gave in, I gave out I put in, you put out And now something' about it says We're both in lotsa trouble Both in lotsa trouble yeah yeah No one knows about the mess we got ourselves into, I guess responsibility slapped my face Now I'll never look at you without being a part of you I know you're scared of what we gotta face But I'll hold you tight, and be your nightlight Cause you gave in, I gave out I put in, you put out And you screamed and I shouted Now we're both in lotsa trouble You gave in, I gave out I put in, you put out And now something' about it says We're both in lotsa trouble Both in lotsa trouble yeah yeah

Track 5. Alicia Amnesia
She drives a black Iroc with hot pink leather Got a good butt but can't remember whether She's a good girl or she's bad Or count the sex she's had Comes home late with grocery sacks and Brothers in his hat doin' Michael Jackson Doesn't know her dad, since he dropped her on her head And if there's one think I can say Is she takes all my breath away She doesn't know my name She doesn't know her name Every time that I call, she can't remember at all That's the last I fall for Alicia Amnesia She got a summer job at the mall in town Sellin' shiny clothes to the bands in town Who are trying to be so cool And they always make her drool Takes all I have to say hey When she's cleaning out the manic panic hair dye trays And I can always bet, She'll ask me if we've met If there's one thing I can say Every time she walks away She doesn't know my name She doesn't know her name Every time that I call, she can't remember at all That's the last I fall for Alicia Amnesia

Can you please, remind me how you feel This emptiness is real And I can't bear the thought of it Can you please, remind me how to smile? I lost track after awhile Is happiness so hard to get Is it me, or is this over As I got sober, I watched you fade away Is it me, or is this ending As I was pretending, I watched you fade away I didn't know, that time could move so slow When you've got nowhere to go The silence is so deafening Wakin' up, on the wrong side of your mind How could I have been so blind? To see I'm losing everything Is it me, or is this over As I got sober, I watched you fade away Is it me, or is this ending As I was pretending, I watched you fade away Sooner or later, we gotta stop this elevator You go your way and I'll go mine I'm sure that I'll be fine Is it me, or is this over As I got sober, I watched you fade away Is it me, or is this ending As I was pretending, I watched you fade away Sober...... as I got sober

I walk around in circles, just like a dog with vertigo As I go insane...The sun shines all around me, on the world and everybody with somebody while I'm in the rain Chorus Cuz it's you that can break me And keep me on my back Cuz it's you that can save me From fallin' into the black The streetlights flash in tempo, with my heart that's poundin' although I, haven't had a heart for days If I could just be honest, get my feeling off my chest and on your mind I could find the way Chorus Cuz it's you that can break me And keep me on my back Cuz it's you that can save me From fallin' into the black Hold me and tell me that everything's gonna be all right And I'll tell you that everything's gonna be alright Chorus Cuz it's you that can break me And keep me on my back Cuz it's you that can save me From fallin' into the black
Track 8. Get Down

So you had a lot of friends Big black Benz Rokken like dokken til the party ends Pink champagne, can't complain Everyone's there for you Messed up hair, messed up nose Cocaine habit that no one knows about Even thought the lies get told, everybody knows the truth Can you get down I don't wanna be around When you come get down Get your feet back on the ground Can you get down You ain't acting like you're suppose to When you fall down Will it even make a sound Cuz you're a boom batter and your wallet's getting fatter/fatter...Livin' for yourself thinkin' no one else will even matter...Skeezin' and you sneezing your allergic to the normal crowd, I heard you were from Cartersville, God don't say that too loud! So afraid their gonna know, that you gonna show that You're normal, normal? Normal, shit I better Start a fight, overdose, date a model, I suppose Then everthing'll be all right Can you get down I don't wanna be around When you come get down Get your feet back on the ground Can you get down You ain't acting like you're suppose to When you fall down Will it even make a sound

I was set up, from the get-up And I drove the wrong way home Into your eyes, of blue I could barely take my mind off you So you set it, then you let it Slowly take the life from you Getting so high, from the fumes Of a burned out, so-called you And I feel so far away from close to you and maybe We could try to find a way to walk right through The plastic wall between my heart and you You were faking, I'd mistaken You for someone I was once knew Into the ring, I flew Like a wrestler falls on cue Can you show me Please show me Why it all went down in flames Was it cuz I made it through And you were just too fucked up to And I feel so far away from close to you and maybe We could finally find a way to walk right through The plastic wall between my heart and you Head is stinging, phone is ringing Words just burn right on my tongue Please put up the magazine I'm burning up like gasoline I'm all alone on the phone So baby won't you please pick up I was set up, from the get-up won't you please pick up the phone I feel so far away from close to you and baby All I wanted was to see you walk right through And I feel so far away from close to you and maybe We can finally find a way to walk right through The plastic wall between my heart and you
Track 11. If (Jannie's song)
All alone in your dirty chair, washin' all your dirty hair, And you're wonderin' how long till they come for you Watch the lines form on your face and down the block all the people chase just what you we're after, before this happened to you... And if I could be the chains I'd fall from you And let you fly to the angels And if I could be your pain I'd run from you so far away And if I could turn the time back just one day It might just be enough to say All the things I never said to you Make the plans to fall in place, only to fall behind in the race and you can't keep up and I know it pisses you off And your roller coaster climbs the hill, up and down, it sure does feel a bit too much...Are you ready to get off? And if I could be the chains I'd fall from you And let you fly like an angel And if I could be the pain I'd run from you so far away And if I could turn the time back just one day It might just be enough to say All the things I never said to you What you don't know won't hurt you, What you don't show will kill you What you don't know won't hurt you, What you don't show will kill you And if I could be the chains I'd fall from you And let you fly like an angel And if I could be the pain I'd run from you so far away And if I could turn the time back just one day It might just be enough to say All the things I never said to you What you don't know won't hurt you, What you don't show will kill you
Track 12. Take Tomorrow

You got lost for a while You've been trying to find a smile You got stood up then you fell down And when you needed, there was no one around You loved the previews, and hate the movie You scream at the screen, "something move me" Before you start to fade away Give me all your fear, throw it away Think about the good things, no matter what they say We'll take tomorrow baby One day at a time You just stare in space You found love but it got erased On the road with all the stoplights And you're too afraid to turn wrong from right You ate your soul and it made you fat Starve yourself from everything else that Makes you completely full Give me all your fear, throw it away Think about the good things, no matter what they say We'll take tomorrow baby One day at a time So you run, so you hide And you watch as they die They all fell, you could fall too Or you can sew your wings And try to fly right through Give me all your fear, throw it all away Think about the good things, no matter what they say We'll take tomorrow baby One day at a time
