Something bout it sounds unromantic
The way that I didn’t get your name
Or maybe that’s exactly how you planned it
And that would mean there’s no one left to blame
Something bout that chip on your shoulder
The way you like to wear it on your sleeve
it must feel good but anybody older
will only find it harder to believe
CHORUS:
I can see the writing on the wall
Even if you've written it so small
In your unintelligible scrawl
Little urchin doll, no no no
something bout the way that you kissed me
the way that you bit down on my lips
and if you never care enough to miss me
you sure left something sticking in my ribs

When I was a boy of five, I figured when I learned to drive, nothing'd keep me from this life
walking with my head held down on the streets of my hometown, nothing changed from then to now
its ordinary's all you say (3x)
its ordinary...
Because when I look back on the past I think how different I'd act but is that really such a fact?
because my own private history is really just a myth for me and I'm just who I used to be
There's this time I can recall, I thought I'd call her just to talk, admit that it was all my fault
but it didn't happen then and not a week has gone by since when I ain't thought of her again

Labor Day
G D G
Im sittin here waiting for labor day
C G
With my mind about a thousand miles away
C Em
contemplating all of the things I just cant say
G D G
I’m just sitting here waiting for labor day
I been thinking of it ever since july
When I came home to find my house was full of flies
And I kinda thought by now they’d all have died
I been thinking of it ever since july
Its like a plague is hanging over me
I can feel it as it kills me by degrees
Like a cat upon my chest while I’m asleep
Its like a plague is hanging over me
Im sittin here waiting for labor day
Bearing witness to my body’s slow decay
But somebody said it all will be ok
I’m just sitting here waiting for labor day

Ivory
I once believed that love was real and happiness comes true
its safe to say that that all ended after I met you
you smiled and it was like I was in the warmth of the sun's glow
but then you turned away from me and left me in the cold
Ivory, you lied to me
and on and on until its done
you said I was the only one
and on and on until its done
you said I was the only one for you
And now I think about you living with some other guy
and wish you all the money that my happiness can't buy
you told me that I was the only one that you loved best
but that was only one of several lies upon your chest
CHORUS

I been feeling like a car that's been swerving between the lanes
and maybe its the one behind the wheel that needs to change
or maybe I'm just too forgone and don't know how to say it
I know I gotta find my way before it gets too late
Well maybe its the pounding or the writing on the wall
I been partying so long it ain't a party much at all
wake up every morning barely make it into work
just trying not to think about the way your head will hurt
PRECHORUS
And I don't know quite how things got where they are now
but I gotta hope there's more than one way out...
CHORUS
I don't know when or how its all going to end
but I gotta find my way out before then (2X)
Hey everybody stop it I heard something at the door
I been partying so long it ain't a party anymore
does it mean you got a problem when you gotta stop and think
when you ask yourself the last time that you went without a drink

God that kid is a freak! (Won't speak..)
He's got a face like a fountain, and a heavy-metal mountain physique
And would you look at that beak! (Won't speak!)
The kid is standin in the corner, just competing for the thrown of King Geek...
(all week...)
[The boy jumps on the teacher's desk, shocking his classmates.]
"All the King of the Geeks!
Don't speak!
Gonna teach you a lesson!
Got the answers to the questions you seek!
YOUR WEAK!
Ya, think I'm begining to peak?
Don't speak!
The weak will be burried,
and the geek shall inherit the meak.
AND YOUR WEAK!"
