Do you remember conversations? I remember drinking on the rooftop with you You were drinking Jameson and I was drunk off Heineken And I remember pointing out the holes in our shoes I lost my friends in New York City I lost my friends that hit LA I found my heart in ole’ St. Louis And Chicago brought us home to stay Now my friends all know me now by how I sound and what I say on the telephone You know I try to be a good friend But I’d give my all to watch my good friends grow old with me

Fall In Line 01:30
We’re pitted against each other And so violently we fall Watch them tie our hands together And throw our backs against the wall They say they offer dignity, you know they offer lies Because they steal all our creativity We’re forced to say goodbye to our souls Now what else can we do but fall in line? Now you’re tasting blood And it’s the blood of all your friends Crushing hard against your skull They hear you praying for the end They say they offer sympathy, you know they fucking lie Because they steal all our creativity We’re forced to say goodbye to our souls Now what else can we do but fall in line?

333 02:24
Something’s wrong I’ve got myself all tied in knots I’m pulling my hair out, one for every song we’ve sung It’s all we’ve known. I’ve told myself these lies before And I’ve gone mad, and you know we’re half demons now And we’ll never make it to Heaven 333, oh we’re half demons now And you know we’ll never make it to Heaven Enough is enough I’ve opened the door now just let me out, there’s no windows here You’ve got me writhing on the floor It’s all we’ve known. I feel the fires burn my soul And I’ve grown horns to prove we’re half demons now And we’ll never make it to Heaven 333, oh we’re half demons now And you know we’ll never make it to Heaven Oh, yeah, 333 We’ll never make it at all now We’re half demon now, yeah 333

Another night in the alley, baby, coughing up pieces of lung Glass hitting pavement greets you as you walk right out of the door You know it is unreal, the way that you walk, your hips kind of clutter my senses You got me grabbing my chest, you got me aching for Lord knows what anymore You know the night just started, it was a little more wild, now it’s just a little more sweet But it’s all around and it’s over again As if it wasn’t enough Go on, Darling, throw another rock, you know I caught that ripple before Now you got me relaxed, you got me waiting for your typhoon to wash up on shore You know the music is blaring, the wind blows your hair Your American eyes still scream that you want me You know your red dress has got me white as a ghost Oh, pretty baby take me home You can throw me round, twist my arm, pull me back up again, you got me under your thumb You got me shaking now, you got me calling out for God knows what anymore Yeah, baby, tonight’s the night we can burn all our desires But it’s all around and it’s over again As if it wasn’t enough, baby, we can fire it up
5.
You got me coming in hot Unraveling slow This life or nothing It’s this life or nothing This world is a crime You got me shackled in woe Bring on the darkness Bring on the war The whole town is burning around you, better watch your step, you got me coming in strong The priest wants to tell you, priest wants to save you “Oh, Mama, I can save your soul.” The whole town is burning around you, better watch your step, you got me coming in strong The priest wants to tell you, priest wants to tell you “No Hail Mary’s going to save you now.” Whole town, the priest are coming too Like you wanted to know You bastards better look out below The whole town is burning around you, better watch your step, you got me coming in strong The priest wants to tell you, “No, you can’t save yourself, and no one’s going to save you at all now.” You want to taste this cool? You got me coming all around You bastards better look out below

God doesn’t know what I’ve done And God doesn’t care about a freak like me God doesn’t know, and God doesn’t give a God damned shit about it
7.
Chalk it up as a loss With our words so insincere and the promise we broke We forged it out of steel And the things that we’ve done with our lives, nearly criminal And potentially yours But as shadows we will never sway We put these crests atop these waves Watched them break day after day But all they break are our arms and our dreams And we built these walls We built them tall, built them strong And reinforced them with our lies which makes them all the harder to pull down And we signed with this cross We’ve been seasoned with the salt But I still taste like the insufficient son I am Who are we anymore? Chalk it up as a loss I never had a change here on this earth God gave me his gift of love and I never want to share it with my friends Or all of my family Then I wonder why I’m thrown aside And torn apart Maybe next life I’ll know how not to judge I watched you put these crests atop these waves Watched them break day after day But all they break are our arms and our dreams And we built these walls We built them tall, built them strong And reinforced them with our lies which makes them all the harder to pull down And we signed with this cross We’ve been seasoned with the salt But I still taste like the insufficient son I am Who are we to judge the wicked and the weak? Who are we to judge the mild and the meek? Who are we to judge the righteous and the saved? Who are we anymore?

How did we get here? Oh, my dear friends, I’m doing this without you And your point of view How did we get here? And why do we hurt ourselves? How did we get here? When I was young, I thought my whole world was broken And I was young, so I got drunk because I bored you And I was dumb, because I was young and I felt broken And I was broken. How did we get here? How about I let you take control? If it wasn’t for you, I’d run around like a new set of wheels. And now that we got here I know you’re leaving here today, and it’s fucked up either way Because of you, we’re going down and out, Chicago Because of you, we’re going six feet underground Because of you, we’re taking one last ride tonight Because of you, well watch what I become because of you
9.
All we know is bright lights, big city The time will come when you are trying to get out while you can But it’s what you really wanted to outlive all your friends It’s all you’ve ever wanted in the end Rita shouted so much hope and started singing Rita shouted so much hope and started singing it, again Don’t you really know that we’re going to die alone? And we won’t be buried with our friends Don’t you really know we’re going to die alone tonight All we know is bright lights, big city The time will come when you’re trying to get out while you’re young But it’s what you really wanted to die before your friends It’s all you’ve ever wanted in the end
10.
Alone 02:13
There’s something to dying alone You’ve got me waiting on your reach And they say the worst is over now But you’ve got me freaking out And though I’m walking defeated, you’re alone But I’ve been wrong You know, there’s something to dying alone You’re such a free soul tonight But what is free if you can’t breathe? And this song will take your breath away As we stick to the war we start And though I’m walking defeated, you’re alone But I’ve been wrong You might be better off on your own And though I’m walking defeated, you’re alone But I’ve been wrong Your God’s expected to right your wrong And I’ll be gone before you claim that you’re all alone But I’ve been wrong You’re so excited to die without a note

I wrote a song, baby, I’ll trade it for your love later I wrote a sweet song, but it doesn’t really fucking matter, does it? There’s a party in the hallway and we’re not invited yet Fuck those bitches in the head There’s a party in the hallway and we’re not invited Fuck those bitches, fuck ‘em in their brains There’s no partying for you, there’s no partying for me You know it’s a school night baby There’s a party in the hallway and we’re not invited yet Tell them like it is, Hayes There ain’t no party like a hallway party Unless you’re getting fucked up It doesn’t matter where you throw up We’re doing coke on your doorknobs We’re smoking week through the eye holes I got PCP on your rug, heroin overdose You got your meth, and your speed, and your motherfucking dope You got so fucked up with all of your drugs and You got so fucked up when they filled up your lungs and You got so fucked up with all of your books You got so fucked up and now you’re fucking hooked There’s a party in the hallway and we’re not invited… WE’RE GETTING FUCKED UP INSTEAD!
