Dexter Holland [1994]

You may push me around
But you cannot win
You may throw me down
But I'll rise again
The more you say
The more I defy you
So get out of my face – Oh Yeah!

You cannot stop us
You cannot bring us down
Never give up
We go on and on!
You'll never break us
Never bring us down
We are alive!

The wind blows
I'll lean into the wind
My anger grows
I'll use it to win
The more you say
The more I defy you
So get out of my way – Oh Yeah

All my will
All my strength
Rip it out
Start again

You cannot stop us
You cannot bring us down
Never give up
We go on and on!
You'll never break us
Never bring us down
We are alive!

All my will
All my strength
Rip it out
Start again

Can you leave it all behind?
Can you leave it all behind?
Cause you can't go back
You can't go back

In my own simple way
I think she wants me only
She said “Come over right away”
But she's just not that way
Her little soul is stolen
See her put on her brand new face

Pull the shades
Razor blades
You're so tragic
I hate you so
Love you more
I'm so elastic
The things you say
Games you play
Dirty magic

I should know better than
To think I'd reach inside her
It's all a cloudy kind of daze
She's not so sweet today
She mocks me, I'm no fighter
It all just seems like such a waste

Pull the shades
Razor blades
You're so tragic
I hate you so
Love you more
I'm so elastic
The things you say
Games you play
Dirty magic

It's oversimplified

Pull the shades
Razor blades
You're so tragic
I hate you so
Love you more
I'm so elastic
The things you say
Games you play
Dirty magic

We are one with ourselves
We don't give a shit about anyone else
Well it won't be wrong until our day in the sun is gonna stop
The walls come tumbling down

We are one
We are free
We are headed for obscurity
We are one
We are weak
We are gonna make ourselves extinct

Let it go
We're gonna let it go
It's real, we are one
You know it's true
Don't fuck with us or we'll fuck with you
It's a mentality that kills the best
We better stop
The walls come tumbling down

We are one and it won't be news
When we hang ourselves with one collective noose
Well, it won't be wrong until our day in the sun is gonna stop
The walls come tumbling down

Me And My Old Lady
Lay in bed all day
And when I say I love her
Well she rolls the other way
But really she don't mean it
Everything she says
Still if I believe in love
There's nothing wrong
There's nothing wrong with my head


Me and my old lady
Sit and sip on wine
And when she says she loves me
Will I say that love is blind
But really I don't mean it
Everything I say
Still if she believes in love
There's nothing wrong
There's nothing wrong with her head


So what if we're making a scene now
You know she don't give a shit
When she's pawin' and grabbin' on me now
You know I don't mind a bit
It's all good and we
Ain't gonna change now
The world is unaware
So if you want to go on and stare
Cause we don't care


She ain't no ball and chain
Me and my old lady
Suck each other dry
And when in that position
I'm the luckiest man alive
Quenching our libidos
Passing time away
Now that I believe in love
There's nothing wrong

There's a moment in time
And it's stuck in my mind
Way back, when we were just kids

Cause your eyes told the tale
Of an act of betrayal
I knew that somebody did

Oh, waves of time
Seem to wash away
The scenes of our crimes
for you this never ends

Can you stay strong?
Can you go on?
Kristy are you doing okay?
A rose that won't bloom
Winter's kept you
Don't waste your whole life trying
To get back what was taken away

Though the marks on your dress
Had been neatly repressed
I knew that something was wrong
And I should have spoke out
And I'm so sorry now
I didn't know
Cause we were so young

Oh, clouds of time
Seem to rain on
Innocence left behind
And it never goes away

Can you stay strong?
Can you go on?
Kristy are you doing okay?
A rose that won't bloom
Winter's kept you
Don't waste your whole life trying
To get back what was taken away

They can make things worse for me
Sometimes I'd rather die
They can tell me lots of things
But I can't see eye to eye
Well, I know they know the way I think
I know they always will
But some day I'm gonna change my mind
Sometimes I'd rather kill

Bloodstains
Speed kills
Fast cars
Cheap thrills
Rich girls
Fine wine
I've lost my sense, I've lost control, I've lost my mind

Things seem so much different now
The scene has died away
I haven't got a steady job
And I've got no place to stay
Well, it's a futuristic modern world
But things aren't what they seem
Some day you'd better wake up
From this fucked up fantasy

Bloodstains
Speed kills
Fast cars
Cheap thrills
Rich girls
Fine wine
I've lost my sense, I've lost control, I've lost my mind
