What the Kids Don't Know

Poison airwaves every station
Never-ending on rotation
Haven't we all heard this song before
But that's all that you give us, nothing more
I don't wanna wave my hands in the air, because I care
Tabloid queen made of plastic
Condescending so sarcastic
Haven't we all seen this episode
The one that doesn't have a point at all
If this is what you call reality, then I don't care
Life at number one
Another sold out show
You keep living off
What the kids don't know
The top of every list
Ignorance and bliss
The high is at an all time low
But that's just what the kids don't know

Seventeen

Lemme tell you
That I remember back before we knew
All the words to
The Dark Side Of The Moon
We grabbed the car keys
But we left the suitcase at the door
We were better off
Seventeen
And free
Seventeen
Like Me
I wish I could go back and hold on to
Seventeen
Like You
I can see it
It's just like staring at a photograph
Your hair in tangles
The radio and the way I made you laugh
Every season
Came and went before we had a clue
That we were better off
Seventeen
And free
Seventeen
Like Me
I wish I could go back and hold on to
Seventeen
Like You
I've been stuck here
Somewhere between now and then
Get me outta here
I'm wasting away
The song is ending
I'd give it all to just rewind the tape
Back to when we were young

Not My Problem

I slept 'til two
And went back to bed
Without you
I'm the walking dead
So gimme a chance so I can mess it up
Check the phone
And check it again
Where you at?
I'm on needles and pins
Empty bottles, empty cans
Clap your hands
You're still the only one that I don't wanna think about
I'd cross my heart, but it's still lying on the floor
I remember what you said as you were walking out the door
You're not my problem anymore
You left your stuff
In the back of my car
Your Jimmy Choo's
And your stupid guitar
I'd give it back
But you sucked any way
All my friends
Were never down with you
They called you Satan
And they're happy we're through
Empty promises, empty plans
Clap your hands
You're still the only one that I don't wanna think about
I'd cross my heart, but it's still lying on the floor
I remember what you said as you were walking out the door
You're not my problem anymore
I'm on my break
You came to my work
Your makeup smeared
And you feel like a jerk
Apologize a thousand times
Get in line
I'm still the only one that you don't wanna think about
You want my heart, but it's still lying on the floor
You'll remember what I said as you were knocking on my door
You're not my problem anymore

Bad Dream

I used to be a good boy
You could count on me
I never showed up late
Never let you fall asleep
But we grow up, and as we do we grow old
I'm still the boy you used to know, I'm still the boy you used to know
We all have days we'd rather wish away
And right now I wanna be asleep
Cuz this is just a very very bad bad dream
This is just a very very bad bad dream
I'm tired of pretending
This is who we are
Can we go back in time
Can we go back to the start
But we grow up, and as we do we grow old
I'm just a boy you used to know, I'm just a boy you used to know
And I keep running in circles day and night
Why've you been so hard to find
This isn't some kind o' motion I'm going thru
Just don't you leave me behind

Someone Else

I don't know how we made it this far
I'm just a loser you're a superstar
We built a house but the walls keep cavin' in
It's the same thing every night
Another kiss and another fight
You get up then I knock ya down again
I don't wanna be your stormy weather
It's obvious we're no good together
I got a feeling you'd be better off with
Someone Else
Better off with someone else
I know you've heard it more than once or twice
You never listen to the good advice
I dunno what keeps us hanging on
What started out like a burn in flame
Is going out and I can't explain
Turn the dial let's play a different song
Someone who can find the way
To keep you out of the rain
Better off with someone else
