Capo 1st fret Into G
G D. C G
Sometimes I really miss Matt, Brent, Tom, and Dan
I miss seeing those kids and I miss seeing their band
but like so many do they moved to Portland
and these days it's so hard to blame them
but when folks like that go and stray
entire scenes just go away
Chrous:
Emin C G D
I still miss 2004
Em C G D Cx2
cause now there's just no more hardcore
and I remember so clearly
all those times we spent in that supposed gallery
where Victor played the part of the con artist
we should have known better than to deal with a man like this
but sometimes you find yourself playing fiddle with the devil
in order to repel the worlds evil
chorus
bridge
Am G
at our softest we played apartments
and at our loudest we rocked basements
and I can show you movements
Am G C G
that don't have age limits
D C G D
watch out for those cops and fire marshals
they're out to ruin all of your fun
D C G D C G D C G
be smart, creative and clever and sing your songs for everyone

Street Legends
01:57

|

|
There won't be street legends any more
now that they've declared the class war
against derelicts the rejects and the poor
that's what they pay the police for
it's easy to pass an ordinance
to extend your privilege
don't give a damn about anyone on the street
don't bother me I'm just trying to eat
take me back to the days
before i was afraid
before i was enslaved
take me back to the times
before i stood in line
before i was ashamed
your acting savage for the kids
but you've got a mixed message
don't give a damn about anyone other than a business
don't give a damn about the poor or homeless
woah oh oh!

you bought me flowers from a land i've never been to
we laid under tomorrow's gliding light and holdin' sun
but not much anything makes any sense now
when i'm searching' for a reason to stick to my gut
i don't want your mutual friends, your lost arguments
i just wanna sleep in bloody sands and sing
"my oh my oh my darling,
i would never take your heart, never want your ring"
we have got to take ourselves home
while we still can
we have got to take ourselves home
while we still can
i've got an aching stomach that doesn't want more
than to stay in bed all day and watch mst3k
i've got a ghost who lives by the sea side
and we've got nothin' left of us...
except fucking up in montana

Dictator Rock
02:32
|
|
||
|
this ain't no hipster slop
we play dictator rock
and we just don't know how to stop
and we don't really care
if we don't play fair
we know we have the coolest hair
Chorus:
And we came here to destroy
the music you've come to enjoy
with strict regulations
on how you have fun fun fun fun
we say we're DIY
but that's a fucking lie
no one will put our records out
we will play this game
chasing eternal fame
like a moth to a flame

Sharks

Make your pithy remarks just like the other sharks
though your teeth don't bite that hard
what you really need is to see us bleed
choking on the shrapnel shards
go ahead strike your Jim Morrison pose
say the right thing wear the right clothes
but you don't know what to say, you ask me just to go away
but I will not go
And I don't see community in competing for popularity
you say your just building a bridge, just to push me off it
but I will not go

and like finding my gravestone
in an empty field
and like finding the devil
just to make a deal
and like carryin a camera
just to take one shot
i will stay here, and i'll sing
until you're gone
you don't have to remember me
you can just go back to sleep
and you can call me your lover
you can call me your friend
but i would be most anything
if you'll be there in the end
and you can call me a fighter
call me a pacifist
but i would do most anything
to get your voice out of my head
and like breakin every promise
that i've been fixin
and like joe don baker
appearing in this movie as mittens
i will stay and i'll sing
if you will too
and i hope that you'll stay
cause when you leave, what the fuck will i do?
so call me a lover, so call me a friend
so call me a fighter, call me a pacifist

Well I was so sad
when that I heard your rad
record store was closing
cause I appreciate all your efforts
to sell me amazing records
I will cherish those days always
too bad this state is so small
makes running a distro impossible
cause the kids they shop at the shopping mall
I guess you just can't win them all
I got a flyer to a show
and I am so glad I did go
cause that small scene it changed everything
and I know everything I do is in part because of you
Seff what you did it changed everything
cause you showed me
how to do things and be challenging
and I could do almost anything
that's what DIY really means
well we were young
and having fun
but now those days are done
and I know people just like me
who wholeheartedly would agree
Seff what you did it changed everything
and I just want to say thank you
for giving us something to do
on Friday nights we would go dancing
No not everyone was changed
some kids remained the same
no we did not save the world
but I'll never consider us failures

Dangerous Men
06:06
|
|

So quick to defend
your violent actions
use your body as a weapon
your giving protection
ample ammunition
to just blame the victim
you were your mothers son
now your just another one of those
dangerous men
It's hard to believe or even conceive this is a problem
that our sisters and daughters would have to face these dangerous men
This was no accident
your entitlement
to only disregard any consent
born only to take
manipulate and rape
and pretend like it was only a mistake
so we must condemn
these actions
that protect these dangerous men
It's hard to believe or even conceive this is a problem
that our sisters and daughters would have to face these dangerous men
