Playlist Less Than Jake

less than jake - dopeman

Dopeman dopeman's got another big plan
to sell it to you or anyone he can
because this is much better than minimum wage
no matter how things work he's still gonna get paid
think about it for a minute more -
it's either work at McDonalds or the corner store
a quick money fix from a deal or 2
when a decision comes down
what would you do? you take - take a welfare state
or a dopeman's fate
and keep the cycle spinnin' round dopeman dopeman's got theupperhand
people wanna get as much as they can
because those reasons they'll always stay the same
and for some people it's the only way to stay sane
and think about it for a minute more -
a life of crime or hangin' round the liquor store
a quick drug fix to get you through
when the decision comes down
what would you do?

less than jake - 107

Unless you could see inside my head,
you couldn't possibly understand
I'm happier when things are falling apart at the seams
and you'd never know just by looking at me
and I'm strung out on the future
and burnt out on the past
sometimes I'd rather just burn this place right to the ground
And y'know it just may be me
but the parking lot with all those creeps
keeps me convincing myself I'm completely sane
with sleep over rated
and my ideals outdated
I know that I wouldn't have it any other way
and I can't explain what this place races through my mind

less than jake - 1989

Let me give you some insight into my insides
I haven't been this confused in such a long time
you can't believe I've spent just losing my mind
I can't believe that 10 years have really gone by
it's been a long time
Had a plan for every year I've been alive
a million more I've built up inside of me
there's a million more that I have bottled up
and that I've fucked up
do you feel like the hard times are mountains you've climbedlying awake
it still feels like it's '89 it's been along time
those mindless days the plans that I've made
the countless mistakes all the times I've changed
through the years I faced all that's kept me sane
every single day

less than jake - 24 hours in paramus

Man this town will drive you insane
Check my thoughts to check my brain
Hold my wallet like it's glued
In one square block it'll tell you
What it thinks of you
And there's nothing you can do
And all that's left to say
And all that's left to say, now
Is feet don't fail me now
Man I must be out of my mind
This town can be so unkind
Forget about sleep there's nothing you can do
In 24 hours this town has become a living hell
And there's nothing you can do
10-9-8 forty ounces fill this place
7-6-5 then watch the bullets to stay alive
4-3-2 no one way out of this
It's been 24 hours in paramus

less than jake - 3 quarts drunk

There's an old man at the very end
Of the parking lot leaning on his car and
Drinking beer and laughing out loud
Before my head starts spinning around,
As I try to find a place to take a stand
But only wind up sitting anyplace I can
With DIDJIT's song stuck in my head
I kinda think I might of said
Now I'm three quarts drunk and I'm out of time.

less than jake - 500 miles

I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get drunk, yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver whatever that means
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
To be the man who walked 1,000 miles
To fall down at your door

When I'm working yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I'll do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you
When I come home yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow old well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you

And I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
To be the man who walked 1,000 miles
To fall down at your door

Surrender
Surrender

When I'm lonely yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
When I'm dreaming yes I know I'm gonna dream
Dream about the time when I'm with you
And if I get drunk, yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man that gets drunk next to you
And if I haver, whatever the fuck that means
I'm gonna be the man that havers next you

And I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked 1,000 miles
To fall down at your door

Surrender
Surrender

When I'm lonely, yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man whos lonely without you
I'm gonna be the man whos coming home

Coz I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked 1,000 miles
To fall down at your door

Surrender
Surrender

less than jake - 9th at pine

Which will it be, sympathy or apathy,
Which part of the human condition will I believe?
Tried than it's tested, if I just decided,
Tried than it's tested, if I have decided,
I fell

When it al cames down on a Saturday night,
Should I choose a side at 9th Pine?
Can we still say where civilized?
Watch a kid go down.

Is this a crowed?
Or the way it's going down,
Is being human watching all day?s without a sound.
Tried than it's tested, if I just decided,
Tried than it's tested, if I just decided,
I fell

When it al came down on a Saturday night,
Should I choose a side at 9th Pine?
Can we still say where civilized?
Watch a kid go down at 9th Pine

When it al came down on a Saturday night,
Should I choose a side at 9th Pine?
Can we still say where civilized?
Watch a kid go down at 9th Pine
Watch a kid go down at 9th Pine
Should I choose a side at 9th Pine?

less than jake - a return to headphones

This is not meant to apologize for any place or time
This is not meant to eulogize for years gone by
All the words I've used to get me by I've memorised

You can't control where lightning strikes
You'd better bet there's always a bright side
I've got a trophy case full of mistakes
Never came in second place

I've been a castaway, I'm flat on my face
Let me set the record straight

I never thought that I would be the one to give up
Doesn't matter anyway

I can't believe that I just made a mistake
O-o-o-o-oh
Guess I'm turning out Ok

This is not for you to pick and choose for a better side
This is not meant to be used as proof when I've meant to lie
All the words I've used still hold true
I'll testify

Even black clouds have silver lines
You'd better bet there's always a bright side
I've got a trophy case full of mistakes
Never came in second place

I've been a castaway I'm flat on my face
Let me set the record straight

I never thought that I would be the one to give up
Doesn't matter anyway

I can't believe that I just made a mistake
O-o-o-o-oh
Guess I'm turning out Ok

I've got a trophy case full of mistakes
Never came in second place

I've been a castaway I'm flat on my face
Let me set the record straight

I never thought that I would be the one to give up
Doesn't matter anyway

I can't believe that I just made a mistake
O-o-o-o-oh
Guess I'm turning out Ok

I've got a trophy case full of mistakes
O-o-o-o-oh
Guess I'm turning out Ok

I can't believe that I just made a mistake
O-o-o-o-oh
Doesn't matter anyway

less than jake - a still life franchise

I remember that I kind of laughed at the sparks that spread the flames
Over all the ugly memories these past three years have made
Then I waited for the smoke to fill my lungs and suffocate my pain away

So I say goodbye and I just say so long
Almost feeling paralyzed
My still life with vital signs
And I'll just say so long
My good intentions felt so wrong
Left me feeling so far gone
Well I'm gone, woah, woah.
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone

I remember when I found the place for the ends to list that normal scene
Living in this haunted house on this otherwise normal street
Postcards and photographs of who we were start to burn and fade away

So I say goodbye and I just say so long
Almost feeling paralyzed
My still life with vital signs
And I'll just say so long
My good intentions felt so wrong
Left me feeling so far gone
My good intentions felt so wrong
Left me feeling so far gone
Well I'm gone, woah, woah.
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone

So I say goodbye and I just say so long
Almost feeling paralyzed
My still life with vital signs
And I'll just say so long
My good intentions felt so wrong
Left me feeling so far gone
And I'll just say so long
My good intentions felt so wrong
Left me feeling so far gone
And I'll just say so long

less than jake - asaok

This song is for everyone that said I was
Programed, hardwired, that I'd self-destruct
They'd say I was destined to always be desperate
They'd say I was destined to always fuck up
And I was voted the first one to crumble and break
I'd never have a chance, the biggest waste

But now I'm the one who's laughing last
Because you're the one that keeps looking back
You're the one that's fading away

So I say
This song is for everyone that said I was
Programed, hardwired, that I'd self-destruct
They'd say I was destined to always be desperate
They'd say I was destined to always fuck up
And I was voted the first one to crumble and break
I'd never have a chance, the biggest waste

But now I'm the one who's laughing last
Because you're the one that keeps looking back
You're the one that's fading away, fading away

less than jake - abandon ship

Give me some religion
Pass the wine cus this time
I canÂ?t hold it in like I always did
Give me some more T.V.
Make it loud make believe
IÂ?m in desperate need for some company

Attention this is not a test
Help me get this moving target
Off my chest from my closest friends
Save me from this hopelessness
Talk some sense into this head
About this and this S.O.S.

Treading water with weights around my neck
A shipwreck of reckless accidents
Over boarded and IÂ?m about to quit
At first I dive in this deep end
IÂ?m feeling sick cus its sinking way too quick

Give me some forgiveness
And IÂ?ll try cus this time
If I hold them in IÂ?ll be coordinates
Give me some more music
IÂ?ll tend to read the lyrics
Like a bible, a gospel, a sing along

Attention this is not a test
Sling me short before I cry
Just makes my hands feel like theyÂ?re made of bricks
Save me from this recklessness
Talk some sense into this head
About this and this S.O.S.

Treading water with weights around my neck
A shipwreck of reckless accidents
Over boarded and IÂ?m about to quit
At first I dive in this deep end
IÂ?m feeling sick cus its sinking way too quick

I canÂ?t listen to all the reasons
I just need one more thing to believe in
The one thing that will keep me breathing
IÂ?ll kiss the dirt when I hit dry land

Treading water with weights around my neck
A shipwreck of reckless accidents
Over boarded and IÂ?m about to quit
At first I dive in this deep end
IÂ?m feeling sick cus its sinking way too quick

less than jake - al s war

Al said goodbye to his mom and dad
for the first time in his life.
Tonight, he left the house and
walked to the waiting car outside.
Yea, somehow he thought they'd never understand.
That nothing lasts, and he just knows that time,
is just spinning by, and life, is passing him by so fast.

And sometimes I think,
I'm the only one who feels
like going nowhere's
like giving up.
Sometimes I think,
I'm the only one who feels like going.

Al said to me a few days ago that he just thought
for the first time in his life.
He feels that the last few years
were only a waste of time (only a waste of time)
Yes, it was always a compromise,
of what he always felt inside.
His declaration,
under the orange street light.

And sometimes I think,
I'm the only one who feels
like going nowhere's
like giving up.
Sometimes I think,
I'm the only one who feels like going.
Yeah-ah.

He was the one,
who always did the right things.
He was the one who would always
listen to everything they say.
But today, he's never going back. (Woah-oh-oh)

And nobody said,
that there would be days like these,
there'd be days like these,
there'd be days....

And sometimes I think,
I'm the only one who feels
like going nowhere's
like giving up.
Sometimes I think,
I'm the only one who feels
like going nowhere's
like giving up.
Woah-oh,
like giving up.
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
like giving up.
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm not giving up.
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

less than jake - all my best friends are metal heads

This is a fair request, and I promise I will not judge
Any person only as a teenager
You will constantly remind yourself that some of my
Generation judges people by their race,
Their belief, or the color of their skin, and that
This is no more right
Than saying all teenagers are drunken dope-addicts or
Glue-sniffers

You think its strange, that there's a way
Of how you looked, and how you act, and how you think
Pretend they're not the same as you

You think its strange, that there's a way
Of how you looked, and how you act, and how you think
Pretend they're not the same as you

Do you know about her strength in convictions
Or how she puts all her faith in religion
Did we take the time to really discover
How little we know about each other

Keep us from saying anything
Can't separate from everything
And all this really means is
You're one in a crowd
And you're paranoid of every sound
You're not the friend
You won't miss anyhow

You think its strange, that there's a way
Of how you looked, and how you act, and how you think
Pretend they're not the same as you

Do you know about her strength in convictions
Or how she puts all her faith in religion

How little we know about each other

Keep us from saying anything
Can't separate from everything
And all this really means is

And you're paranoid of every sound
Keep us from saying anything

How little we know about each other

Keep us from saying anything
Can't separate from everything
And all this really means is
You're one in a crowd
And you're paranoid of every sound
Keep us from saying anything
Can't separate from everything
And all this really means is
You're one in a crowd
And you're paranoid of every sound
Paranoid of every sound
Paranoid of every sound

less than jake - all time low

So this is what it feels like when you finally lose your spark
and this is what it feels like when you finally sober up
The sentence was prison bars or army camoflauge
Is it a real choice, get locked away or touch dirty bombs

And if words on a page could
save my world, I'd write all day
But words won't change mistakes or take away
their consequences

When I go I'll leave this note
I've hit my all time low
from my toes up to my throat
I've hit my all time low
I live life til I lost control and
I've hit my all time low
My last words carved out in stone and
I've hit my all time low

Either side feels like surrender
but I have mouths to feed
It's a prison cell block going towards the Middle East
I'm inbetween just who I was and who I'm supposed to be
the choice for me is wearing convict gray or military green

And if words on a page could
save my world, I'd write all day
But words won't change mistakes or take away
their consequences

When I go I'll leave this note
I've hit my all time low
from my toes up to my throat
I've hit my all time low
I live life til I lost control and
I've hit my all time low
My last words carved out in stone and
I've hit my all time low

Stay or go
I feel I'm at the end of my rope
Stay or go
I feel like I am never going home
I wish there was someone else to blame
I wish words could change the way I feel today
If words could save my world
I'd write all day forever

I've hit my, I've hit my
I've hit my all time low
I've hit my, I've hit my
I've hit my all time low
I live life til I lost control and
I've hit my all time low
My last words carved out in stone and
I've hit my all time low
Woah oh oh oh
I've hit my all time low
Woah oh oh oh
I've hit my all time low
Woah oh oh oh
I've hit my all time low
Woah oh oh oh oh oh
