Why don't you and I ride our bikes in the rain late at night With nothing but hair on our heads? We can set off bottle rockets and the sparklers in our pockets Because sleep is for the dead And we can save our homework for tomorrow If we remember to do it at all And if we don't grow old too fast, we can make the good times last Be stupid and naive and beautiful So sneak out, get undressed, now we're under arrest We can spend the night in jail Won't they laugh, won't they cry, all your grandkids and mine When we tell them of this tale And we can save our homework for tomorrow If we remember to do it at all And if we don't grow old too fast, we can make the good times last Be stupid and naive and beautiful And if we leave our fears behind, then who knows what we'll find... Buried treasure, arrowheads, broken arms, broken sleds, flying kites, water fights, things that go bump in the night, roasting s'mores, raising hell, climb the tower ring the bell, waterfall, cannonball, been there, seen it, done it all And we can save our homework for tomorrow If we remember to do it at all And if we don't grow old too fast, we can make the good times last Be stupid and naive and beautiful

Cellar Door 02:13
Well I'm not good at arson and I could never start a fire But I see so many buildings that I want to decimate But I'm pretty good at breaking shit and there's so much to destroy This world would be so much better if it were all desolate So let's break everything ever made for profit Let's destroy every disgusting machine Let's all dance and let's all say fuck it, Let's never hurt another human being So let's destroy and let's create We're still good people who like to decimate Let's destroy and let's create Let's improve the world with the things we can make Well I can't write a song and I don't know how to play But I've got nothing better to do and I've got so much to say And I've never been good at drawing and I can't really hold a pencil But I see so many things that I'd love to replicate So let's make things for love not profit Let's create together you and me Let's all dance and let's all say fuck it, And finally we'll know just what it means so let's destroy and let's create We're still good people who like to replicate Let's destroy and let's create Let's improve the world with the things we can make

Mixtape 02:15
I hope you like my mixtape, my mixtape, my mixtape I hope you like my mixtape, I made it just for you I hope you like my mixtape, my mixtape, my mixtape I hope you like my mixtape, I made it just for you And filled it full of songs I like and I hope you like them too 'Cause I put them on a mixtape, a mixtape for you I hope you like to ride bikes, to ride bikes, to ride bikes I'd really like to ride bikes, to ride my bike with you I hope you like to ride bikes, to ride bikes, to ride bikes I'd really like to ride bikes, to ride my bike with you And go into the mountains, into a sky so blue When it's summer we will ride bikes, I'll ride my bikes with you You took me to a punk show, a punk show, a punk show You took me to a punk show and then you took me home You took me to a punk show, a punk show, a punk show You took me to a punk show and then you took me home And when the night was over, I didn't feel alone 'Cause you took me to a punk show and then you took me home So I'll put this on a mixtape, a mixtape, a mixtape I'll put this on a mixtape, I made it just for you So I'll put this on a mixtape, a mixtape, a mixtape I'll put this on a mixtape, I made it just for you And you can listen to it or you can throw it away But I'll put it on a mixtape, a mixtape today I'll put it on a mixtape, a mixtape today I'll put it on a mixtape, a mixtape today I'll put it on a mixtape, a mixtape today

Wanderlove 02:39
Well your boss just doesn't like you, and that just makes me sad And my boss he doesn't like me, and that just makes me mad Well I've had it with this shit, I wish it'd all go away So let's travel into the darkness into a new damn day Let's take a car or a freight train, let's leave any way we can I want to climb some new trees, and walk on some new sands New places are what I want to see unfamiliarity is what I long for Except for who you are my dear, you're perfect just the way you are 'Cause we're just two happy-go-lucky people in our cleanest dirty shirts And our shoes are oh so crusty from playing in the dirt And I don't miss home at all, no, 'cause home's not where I live And I don't need a home at all no, when my heart is yours to give This summer is so bright, these days they are so long And god I do love Denver, please don't get me wrong But it feels so good to be out and it feels so good to be away And it feels so great to be next to you through each and every day 'Cause we're just two happy-go-lucky people in our cleanest dirty shirts And our shoes are oh so crusty from playing in the dirt And I don't miss home at all, no, 'cause home's not where I live And I don't need a home at all no, when my heart is yours to give

I know you know it's dangerous to travel There's probably a million ways to die You could be crushed by a freight train or eaten by a bear Or struck by lightning by the lord on high So take your mutlivitamins, take your multivitamins Take it with a can of steel reserve 'Cause we ain't got wealth, but we still got our health And I've only got one body to preserve It takes a lot of work to be a hobo You do a lot of walking and running And sometimes a can of beans and a thermos full of tea It's just not enough to keep your body humming So take your multivitamins, take your multivitamins Take it will a 30 rack of beer 'Cause we ain't got wealth but we still got our health And I won't forget to wash behind my ears I may be bitten by scabies I may contract rabies I might get my throat slit by a stranger I might get hepatitis And I may get meningitis But I can't say I'm ever in danger If I take my multivitamins, take my mutlivitamins, Take it with a colt 45 'Cause we ain't got wealth but we still got our health And I can't believe I've come this far alive

It seems such an endless night, I looked above and saw the light Those far away florescent balls of gas And meteors they crashed and sang the incalescence of your name And shattered me like I was made of glass Baby won't you sing with me across the river, through the trees Tonight the moon is oh so bright And I can't see a thing past your eyes they look at me so bright So bright The lights down in the city they look so goddamn pretty And make me feel alive in a world that is so shitty And dancing shadows, stars above, good golly Molly I'm in love with you The brightness fades it all turns grey The magic ends and fades away And there's no moon anymore But there's a glimmer in your eyes And they are shimmering like skies We park the car, get out and watch the sunrise

What divides the species from feeling love or fear? What divides us all divides me and you my dear So if god gave dominion to honor you and I I don't believe in god if he's a monster in the sky People are just animals but people are my friends That's why I don't eat animals 'cause I don't eat my friends People are just animals but people are my friends That's why I don't eat animals 'cause I don't eat my friends I eat when I am hungry and fuck when I am horny I lick my wounds when I'm in pain I look for shelter in the rain So if cats in our living rooms and heifers on our farms Can live like you and I do, then I shall do no harm

Let's forget this political world of lies We'll grab our bikes and go see the sunrise Let's forget the day and sleep it all away And we'll go see a show tonight We'll skip the drinking and we'll party sober We'll dance all night til' the songs are over And I don't want this night to ever end So let's wake up the next day and do it all again 'Caus alone we will survive But together we will thrive So fuck everything else Besides each other and ourselves Let's stay up all night til' the crack of dawn We'll sit and listen to each others songs Let's drink all of the coffee that you brewed It's the only thing that will get us through And survive through these bitter times But I always feel better with your hand in mine And I don't want this night to ever end So let's wake up the next day and do it all again

Willow Tree 04:08
Take me out to the flat lands where the pastures stretch for miles No fences, no walls, except to keep our horses safe at night We won't have to ask the government for our necessities Supplemental welfare has me on my knees We'll take only seeds with us an leave flowers in our wake We will plant a field of dreams and burn our TVs at the stake When the hunger pains are too much to bear and I've got no place to live We will swim across the river, stick our shovels in the ground like our ancestors did Pull the plug on what you take for granted and see the world outside your shell We were not put here to lay to waste what's in this soil I was not born to cast my life away in toil No gods and no masters, no constitutions Sometimes total destruction is the simplest, strongest solution And when I die don't you take me to heaven just set my soul free Leave my ashes in the woods, dig a hole, and plant a willow tree

Metalheads just wanna cuddle, it's raining blood into a puddle Of love Denim and leather on my back, let's play speed let's smoke crack Lets drink whiskey and play power chords Fueled by pizza fuel and rage, we'll burn every bible page We still love Christians if they're down to mosh Not here to judge just here to play, we'll drink your beer any day Metalheads are here to fucking stay METALHEADS ARE HERE TO FUCKING STAY!! METALHEADS ARE HERE TO FUCKING STAY!!!!! METALHEADS ARE HERE TO FUCKING STAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! METALHEADS ARE HERE TO FUCKING STAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Metal is the best, fuck all the rest :)
