I laid myself out on the pavement

so everything is alright now

The sky is blue and the leaves are calling

so beautiful falling from the bough

And I believe

People get what they deserve

and if you listen to me

I'll tell you what I've heard

I've got a couple notebooks

And a backpack with one tshirt in it

I've got a few maxed out credit cards

And a brain that's got no limit


The clock counts down waiting for the show now

The crowd lines up you can feel the nerves

Keep a steady hand and don't fuck it up now

The impressions good or your gonna hurt

The products the same

So just act it out like they did before you!

The message was lame

so just pretend you are playing a game.

Don't listen to the broadcast

The news ain't good its gonna bring you down

Don't need another problem up in my

Head I've got enough and I'm leavin town

we'll sing:

Lets pack up and fly away from here.

(You can leave your troubles in Ohio)

and lets forget all those wasted years

not coming back, no we're never coming back no way.


The air smelled bad and the van was roasting

I could not sleep and the traffic was bad

The 30 bucks couldn't buy us gas I wish I

had that cash that I gave to my dad

There's no need to complain

I should have known that it would be this way

and there's no one to blame

and now I have to live with a debt that I can't repay

I'm getting on a boat now

To sail far away to somewhere I don't know

The sneakers on my feet turned into boots and my

heart is singing the blues

we sang

Lets pack up and fly away from here.

(You can leave your troubles in Ohio)

and lets forget all those wasted years

not coming back we're never coming back no way.

The sun stopped shinin

The bombs start fallin

The sun goes down and now I wanna go home

This land is barren no food and water

My friends go down and now I wanna go

Back to my country and the land of the free

Give me a big mac with a coke...Oh Say can you see!

I want to kick my feet back and watch Family Guy til Four AM

I wanna drive my van to Newport and drink rootbeer floats with Scott and Ben

So, Hey

Is love really on the way?

and Hey

Is someone gonna show us the way?

Its alright tonight I see the light and

the porch on 154 seems so far away

Another day it passes by

Mom I don't know if I can

face the facts and do it on my own

I'm twisted up in all these lies that I can't escape and

Yeah that's when I'll come home


I laid myself out in the grass

so everything is alright somehow

The sky is blue and the leaves are green

so beautiful I think I can rest now
