Twenty Fifth Street
I live on Twenty-First Street in Ogden proper
But I want something more than this town's got to offer
Because I've never seen a face that I can remember
Play a Twenty-Fifth corner, Twenty-Fifth of December
And I know
something has to change
Because I can't spend my whole life playing
street corners for change
Twenty-Fifth Street,
What have you done for me?
Food not bombs, Molotovs, and how to live for free?
We fell in love while the candle just burned
But we didn't know that it was just our turn
Years later, as we both walked away
I heard her turn around, and I heard her say
Twenty-Fifth Street, what have you done to me?
Food not bombs, Molotovs, how to live for free?

Twenty-Fifth Street, what have you done for me?
Food not bombs, Molotovs, and how to live for free
The shit might change your life, but something isn't right
Where did all those good times go, and what do you gotta do for more?

Back in Sixty Three
Do you remember back in sixty three
When the hippies tried to give the fifties what they need?
And all I got was LSD
But hey, man, nothing's for free
Now arms race faster than ever before
While the whole world fears the third world war
And all the politicians say is nothing's free
Price of gas per gallon, four fifty three

Too Good
It's been too good for far too long
In the middle of nowhere where nothing goes wrong
I've hitchhiked half the day
Looking for the perfect song on the side of the freeway all night long
But we're getting somewhere now
The highways run and the signs keep on coming
No stopping now, we'll keep on running
Because we're getting somewhere now
I can almost hear the sound
And those city lights, they don't feel so bright tonight
I see the city burn and the wheel don't turn
Another hundred miles we learn
Something's going on alright
So I'm making something out of nothing
Something that just cannot be lost in my head
The city comes with such surprise
Forget about all those people and their lies
You better love it before it's dead
Because there's something to know
There's someone to behold
There's another hundred strangers' faces to know
And we're getting somewhere now
I can almost hear the sound
And those city lights don't feel so bright tonight
See the city burn and the wheel don't turn
Another hundred miles we learn
Something's going on alright

Babylon
With my face in the pavement, I rediscover freedom
Though I have done nothing wrong to go against your kingdom
We're on the run
Run from Babylon, keep up with the sun
Take anything that you need, you and I are done
Take anything that you see, you've already won
We're on the run
Run from Babylon, keep up with the sun
We're on the run
Run from Babylon
Keep up with the sun

Ninety Days
I'm doing ninety days
cause I need a place to stay
It's too cold to live outdoors,
and I've been sleeping in the rain
So I did a little crime
just to do a little time
Cause I know that when the sun shines,
everything will be just fine
Woah, woah
I just can't get high
That whiskey couldn't keep me warm
I lost the will to fight the storm
I'm doing time,
but I know that when the sun shines, everything will be just fine
Everything will be just
It's been raining for too long
I can't stay dry the whole night long
My day is coming to an end
I don't know where to begin
Woah, woah
6.
Downtown
The drinks keep getting stronger as the night just gets longer
And I might not make it back before the sun
But I want you to know
that you're not alone
You're not the only one
that's not going home
Cause I'm sitting downtown, listening for that sound
Got a drink in my hand,
baby, but I ain't got you
I've been walking all day
looking for the words to say
But nothing oh sweet nothing comes to mind
And I'm sitting downtown listening for that sound
Got a drink in my hand, baby, but I ain't got you
I'll walk this town
Till my face hits the ground
Then I hope that I won't wait for you to come around no more
One, two, three, four

History
I just wanna get away from all of it
I just wanna get away from all this
I just wanna get away from all of it
I just wanna get away
It seems like these lessons are never learned
Every time I turn I'm getting burned
They say why you wanna run away
But I say why you wanna stay?
I just wanna get away from all of it
I just wanna get away from all this
I just wanna get away from all of it
I just wanna get away
There's so many problems that we could never get past
There's so much history I have to fucking laugh
I can't sit in this decay anymore
When I see that open door
I sing
I just wanna get away from all of it
I just wanna get away from all this
I just wanna get away from all of it
I just wanna get away
It's pretty fucked when you can't look me in the eye
And all I did was try and hold you close
to all your alibis
Oh, I'll ask,
why should I stay?
And then I stand up
And walk away,
I'm saying...
I just wanna get away from all of it
I just wanna get away from all this
I just wanna get away from all of it
I just wanna get away

Stella Song
Well, life's the same every day
You work hard and save away for nothing
Nowhere to go, you wanna go
It's so sad, it's simplified
Your failures are all magnified
You yuppie, you scumbag
Why can't you decide?
Because I'm on your side
Like your whiskey and your pride
I'm on your side
Well, the sky is black with regrets
I'm longing to be hers again
The road is my only true friend, heroin
I will run till I can't run no more
No fucking more
Because I'm on your side
Like your whiskey and your pride
I'm on your side
9.
To the End
I don't wanna see you submit
Walk away, burn it down and quit
You don't have to tuck tail and turn home
Because back home,
we've got nowhere to go
But if you insist in this shit, I really can't deal with that trip
I hope that when you do turn around,
I hope you can find you
a dry piece of ground
But let's take it to the end
because I think that this is it
And we're never going home
Because back home,
we've got nowhere to go

Waste My Time
People saying things they don’t mean,
Well they dont mean a God damned thing to me
I see you turn and walk away
But you’re looking back like you got something to say
And thats alright,
Thats just fine
Just as long as you don’t waste my time, time, time.
Just s long as you don’t waste my time.
I’ve seen things I shouldn’t have seen
I’ve been to places, I should’ve never been
I made it out just fine
So we go back, any old time
And that’s alright,
Thats just fine,
Just as long as you don’t waste my time, time, time
Just as long as you don’t waste my time
