MxPx: Pokinatcha Punks : Lyrics : Slowly Going The Way Of The Buffalo
1. Under Lock and Key There's something crazy, something strange about The way I'm lazy and how I go about Giving my time and how I reason Do all my problems have to do with how I reason? Don't feel bad if you haven't figured out Cause I'm not mad there's really no way you could have estimated That you would ever in your life be so frustrated. Chorus: If you knew what was good for you You'd lock me up and throw away the key You don't know me, no you never will You never did as far as I can tell. Should I wake up and explain my self to you Or should I not care and sleep the whole day thru Finding sense in everything Is like going thru my room to find a diamond ring Living day by day is all that I can say Something to believe in might be the other way We can't be sure until we open the door Inherent choices, choices I can't take anymore. Chorus 2x Back To The Song List 2.Tommorrow's Another Day I don't want to let my life fly by Do you ever stop, stop to wonder why? And time flies by When everything is ok It just turns out that life ain't that way Big decisions overwhelm me and I know nothing's free When I don't think of, think about much People die and we don't know why I could use some understanding Human contact, sign that contract. Chorus: I don't want to let my life fly by Did you ever stop to wonder why, ever stop to wonder, wonder why? And time stands still when no one understands you When you don't quite understand yourself But just know this that God is faithful Even if you don't have faith yourself There's nothing quite like being sure of What's inside your heart It's mostly simple but not so easy To know just where to start. Chorus Today didn't have to be this way Tommorrow is another day Another chance to make things right A chance to make sense of last night. Today didn't have to be this way Tommorrow is another day Another chance to make things right A chance to fully love your life. Only if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you don't want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you want to, if you don't want to, if you don't want to, you don't want to. Back To The Song List 3.The Final Slowdance You're taking all the space up in my head With all the things that we could do and All the things that could be said It's hard for me to try and understand The way I fell about you and the way it Made me feel to hold your hand. Am I running out of time or am I at the starting line? I know I missed the mark yet I need some sort of sign. My words don't come out easily So I will tell you honestly No one wants to spend Eternity alone.... repeat all of above Back To The Song List 4.I'm O.K. You're O.K. What's going on tonight? Is everything alright? I hope there's nothing wrong I haven't seen you in so long. Chorus: I'm away, you're here to stay and I'm away and you're O.K. You're here to stay and I'm away, You're here to stay and I'm O.K. What exactly do you do, when I'm not with you? What exactly do you say, all the time that I'm away? Chorus 2x You tell me nothing's wrong Seems like I've been gone oh so long Nothing seems to have changed Yet the familiar things seem all so strange. Chorus continues until end Back To The Song List 5.Cold and All Alone I know I'm mean but, I'm real sorry I didn't mean to make you cry I feel so bad by then it's too late You're hurt, I'm mad, is this goodbye? I've dug down far too deep now I've dug down far I'm losing sleep. You know it's hard you know I'm trying To understand to do what's right I don't like to see you crying I don't like it when we fight. I've dug down far too deep now I've dug down deep I'm losing. Cold and all alone Out there on your own Cold and all alone Living on your own. I've dug down far too deep now I've dug down far I'm losing sleep. Back To The Song List 6.Party, My House, Be There It's about time for a party at my house And it wouldn't be the same without you No not at all, as I recall You've got what I need. Bring along yourself and don't forget that smile And plan on staying a while Till summer turns to fall, as I recall You've got what I need. Chorus: You said you were leaving I said you were crazy You said that you had some things to do I'll see you in a while And don't forget that smile What else could there possibly be to do? Bring along yourself and don't forget that smile And plan on staying a while Till summer turns to fall, as I recall You've got what I need. Chorus I'll see you in a while And don't forget that smile What else could there possibly be to do? Back To The Song List 7.The Downfall of Western Civilization What do you call yourself? What did you call me? (repeat above 3x) Chorus: Excuse me but you don't know me And I sure don't know you neither. What do you call your self? What do you call me? (repeat above 3x) Who are you and where did you go? You think you know but you, just don't know. Chorus 4x Back To The Song List 8.Invitation To Understanding Come on understanding visit me for once today I'll be grateful, you don't ever have to stay It must be hard for you to get over to my side of town I know there's many people like me to be found. Chorus: If you come knockin' at my door And I am not around Foolisness came by and we're downtown Please don't leave Please come on in and make yourself at home I know you're probably used to being alone. Everyone keeps telling me you're something that you're not But I know if I met you I'd like you a lot What exactly does it take to bring you to my door? By the time that you arrive I won't live here no more. Chorus What can I do? There's no one here but me And nothin' on tv Where could you be? I really wouldn't know Where else you might go. Chorus I know you probably used to being alone, I know you're probably used to being alone. Back To The Song List 9.Fist vs. Tact I've dwelt long on the past and I just can't take it anymore I struggle in vain but, at last I've managed to board Up the windows and lock the door. Chorus: Persist to resist, fight back Not with a fist, with tact Ideas in action, with passion Passion commitment, and dedication. I've dwelt long on the past and I just can't take it anymore I struggle in vain but, at last I've managed to board Up the windows and lock the door. When all is said and done, our time is spent And we've had our fun Have you taken time to think about your life And what it means to know eternity. Chorus Back To The Song List 10.What's Mine Is Yours As soon as I figured out that you wouldn't be there As soon as I figured out that you didn't care I try to do what's right, I try to keep an open mind I try to do what's right, but you're so unkind. Chorus: You don't own me They've abolished slavery And I can't wait for the day when things turn around. You don't own me They've abolished slavery There's consequenses for your actions I know cause I'm paying for mine now. The piece of paper the you've got says you can get into my pocket But you can't get inside my heart or inside my head Money doesn't mean to me what it obviously means to you Cause I would never steal from kids that don't have a clue. Chorus 2x Back To The Song List 11.Self Serving With a Purpose Next time my heart breaks in cold rage I'll be on your page Waves of misunderstanding crashing Demanding passage thru. Don't tell me I've changed Don't tell me I've changed. You've got your rights Don't mean it's right, ethical, or sane I'm not your type, you're behind me Don't remind, regret. Don't tell me I've changed Don't tell me I've changed I'm not like you thought I'm not like you thought. Still, "Desperate is as desperate does" Self served purpose, grasping straws Ugly hate and ill bred heart Misunderstanding from the start Don't tell me I've changed Don't tell me I've changed I'm not like you thought I'm not like you thought. (repeat above again) Back To The Song List 12.For Always If we help each other out along the way Then maybe everything will be okay Who decides if you succeed? Who decides those things you want and need? Chorus: Looking back on all those years All the smiles, all the tears I never want those memories to fade What have we done, what can we do We search our whole life for the truth Chorus: For always and always and always. I know sometimes we'll disagree But no one here can absolutely see We're all just learning as we go There's something in this world we just don't know Chorus 2x Honestly not interested (repeat above 7x) Back To The Song List 13.Set The Record Straight Did we ever have an understanding? Did we ever have anything at all? Not that I recall You were never really there for us but then We were never really there for you It's true, the rest is up to you You say it's wrong, it's right You say we won't, we might We thought about it twice tonight And if we don't seem too broken hearted That's because we're glad we parted I think we've had enough for two. Well I believe in second chances I believe this world is gonna end But I would do anthing to set the record straight. Chorus: If you would believe If you would believe Will someone think about the heartbreak? Will someone realize there's been a mistake? And give back all you take No one cares enough to listen No one cares enough to rationalize Just believe the lies Well I believe in second chances I believe this world is gonna end But I would do anthing to set the record straight. Chorus Did we ever have an understanding? Did we ever have anything at all? Not that I recall You were never really there for us but then We were never really there for you It's true, the rest is up to you You say it's wrong, it's right You say we won't, we might We thought about it twice tonight And if we don't seem to broken hearted That's because we're glad we parted I think we've had enough for two. Well I believe in second chances I believe this world is gonna end But I would do anthing to set the record straight. Chorus (chorus continues until end) Back To The Song List 14.Get with it! Chorus: Kid quit it, get with it Kid quit it, get with it You're getting on my nerves Is this what I deserve? (repeat above again) I know I can't play guitar So kill me quickly And I'll be glad I'm gone. You wouldn't be so cool If your friends ran off without you And left you with your pants down. Chorus I know I can't play guitar So kill me quickly And I'll be glad I'm gone. You're nothing but a lonely clown Without a circus A sheep that's lost the flock You're nothing but a lonely clown Without a circus We're just here to rock Back To The Song List 15.Inches From Life There's something wrong inside of us And it's important to discuss A narrow mind a hardened heart And this is just the very start. Fustration gets the best of me So I don't speak coherently We are taught to go along We need to figure out it might be wrong. Chorus: You oughta know you can't be inches from life And never live at all You oughta know that pride is our downfall There's no need to stand up tall. (repeat above again) No one knows what's going on Even those who cause oppression Most of which don't realize Uneasy smiles and blackened eyes. Could it be there's something real Not always known but you can feel The presence of an absolute That our lives can't substitute. Chorus Back To The Song List 16.
