LYRICS FROM THE STARTS WITH YOU LP
Begin
You're crouched beneath the stairs/Hiding from them/You're arms around yourself/ Let no one in/You're crying and you're thinking/You can't take anymore/And you can't help but wonder/What's there left to live for?/Just try! Just try!/Just try or you'll never win/Can't fly! Can't fly! Can't fly until you face them/Get up! Get up!/Get up make yourself known/This is your life, this is your home/You're lookin through the keyhole/There's a big world out there/You could blow that door down/Say goodbye to despair/The match is in your hand/You can light the fuse/The time is now, the place is here/There's nothing left to lose!/Just try! Just try!/Just try or you'll never win/Can't fly! Can't fly! Can't fly until you face them/Get up! Get up!/Get up make yourself known/This is your life, this is your home/You're queer! You're queer!/You're smart and your see things/You love! You love!/You love and you hate thing/ Lay off! Fuck off!/Fuck off you'd like to say/It's time for action /let's start today!
Used To Be
I think this town could use a shot in the ass/ I think it needs a new beginning/ There's a war going on between the Ôlive and the dead and so far/It seems the dead are winning/ I'm tired of driving around seein' sad, sad faces,/ And I'm tired of the same sad songs/ There's no where for us to go/ and there's nothin' to do/ And everything is wrong/ This town used to be a revolution/Now all I see is complacency/ This town used to be a revolution/ Let's get active and make some change/ Let's get active Get activated Let's get active Get activated!/ This town used to be a revulotion/ Now all I see is complacency/ This town used to be a revolution/ Let's get active and make some change right now
Heteroflexible
He is not gay / He is not straight / He is not Bisexual / He is something / Altogether different / 'Cause he is what we call Heteroflexible / And I don't know / If he's coming home with me tonight / But I saw that cruisy look / When he walked by / He's Heteroflexible / He's Living the straight life / He's got a wife he never told me about / He's happy with the way things are / He never thinks about coming out / Guys like this / Really mess with my head / I don't know if they wanna watch football / Or just go to bed.
Lewd Conduct Patrol
You're all dressed up In your tighest jeans/ You're looking like a spitshine, / Black boot we dream / You're goin' down / To the public park / You're a hot young cop / Out to make your mark! / Lewd Conduct Patrol / Lewd Conduct Patrol / Lewd Conduct Patrol / Lewd Conduct Patrol / You like you've / Come to play / You'll grab your crotch / Then you'll look my way / You'll wait til I / Come close to you / Then you'll drag me off / To the county zoo! / Lewd Conduct Patrol / Lewd Conduct Patrol / Lewd Conduct Patrol / Lewd Conduct Patrol / Tommy and Susie / Went parkin' one night / For a little paradise / By the dashboard light / Cops showed up / All they did was laugh! / Sent Tommy and Susie home / With a pat on the back!/ Lewd Conduct Patrol / Who pays the toll?/ For Lewd Conduct Patrol / Lewd Conduct Patrol

Punk Rock Fag
Now some boys like house music / Some guys go for Madonna / Some boys listen to show tunes / Well I don't really wanna / What I really want to hear / Is Joan Jett beltin' out a song / I want to listen to the Clash / All fucking night long '/ Cause I'm a Punk rock fag / I'd drive a thousand miles / To find a rock-n-roll queer bar / But if we can't, let's listen to the Jam / In the backseat of my car / Studs and leather and combat boots / That's what you're gonna get / So meet me at the Rancid show / And you can grope me in the pit / 'Cause I'm Punk rock fag / That's Mr. Fag to you.
Know You
Well i wanna write a letter / I wanna send it to your place / I wanna put the words on paper / About your eyes, your lips, your face / I wanna send you my sweet promise / All the love I have to give / Yeah i wanna write a letter / But I don't know where you live / I wanna call ya baby / I wanna give your phone a ring / I wanna hold you, love you, squeeze you, / Hug and kiss and everything / Don't tell me I don't mean it / Cause I'm givin' you my all / Yeah I wanna call you baby / But I don't know where to call / I'll always need you with me / You're the answer to my prayers / But though I'm lookin' and I'm lookin' / I can't find you anywhere / I guess that all that I can do / Is wish upon a star / Cause I wanna love you baby But I / don't know who you are
Bash Back
They call it compassionate as the slam our hands in the door / It's nothing new, we've seen it all before / They pass the power down from father to son / Just wait 'til they see what we've got in store / Cause we're gonna bash back / Yeah, we're gonna bash back / Gonna bash back / Gonna bash back / I know you're feelin' jaded, / I know you're feeling gun shy / I can see the frustration in your eyes / But you got get up, gotta get up, / gotta get out in the streets / Don't let your idealism die / Cause you gotta bash back / Yeah, you gotta bash back / Gonna bash back Gonna bash back/ November 4th or not, you get to vote everyday, / You cast ballots with every choice you make / So never give up, never give up, / never fucking give up / Can't you see there's too much at stake? / Cause we're gonna bash back / Yeah, we're gonna bash back / Gonna bash back Gonna bash back
Sacrifice
I won't be the one / To make you more human / I won't be a martyr for your hate / Or a victim of your gun / I won't be your sacrifice / Your human sacrifice / I won't be the one / You leave tied to the fence / I won't be a headline / On your page of news events / I won't be the one / To make you more human / I won't be the one / To make you more human.
High School Me
I've had 10 years now to sort it out / Here's what I've got so far / The happiest hours of my teenage life / Were spent driving you 'round in my car / You in the backseat with your girl / Me driving so quietly / Stealing glances in the rearview / This was the high school, the high school me / High school me / Just another stupid teenage tragedy / High school me / Waiting around on something that could never be / Walking with you in high school halls / Sitting next to you in class / Sometimes you were all I could see / Hold on to these moments, make them last / We'd rent movies, watch 'em in the dark / I'd laugh nervously / Will it happen, no it won't / This was the high school, high school me / High school me / Just another stupid teenage tragedy / High school me / Hopin' for something that could never be / High school me/ Just another stupid teenage tragedy / High school me / Waitin' around for something that could never be / I'd go anywhere to be close to you / Go where I knew you'd be / Drive past your house late at night / Are you awake or are you asleep / I always wanted to start a band / I'd of played drums, you coulda sang / Coulda played gigs in my daddy's barn / Maybe we'd call us... High School Me / High school me / Just another stupid teenage tragedy / High school me / Waitin' around on something that could never be / High school me Just another stupid teenage tragedy / High school me / Hoping for something that could never be
