Here are the lyrics to all of the songs on Nimrod.
Nice Guys Finish Last
You're running out of gas.
Your sympathy will get you left behind.
Sometimes you're at your best
When you look the worst.
Do you feel washed up
Like piss going down the drain?
Pressure cooker pick my brain
And tell me I'm insane.
I'm so ******** happy I could cry.
Every joke can have its truth
And now the joke's on you.
I never knew you were such a funny guy.
Oh nice guys finish last
When you are the outcast.
Don't pat yourself on the back
You might break your spine.
Living on command.
You're shaking lots of hands.
Kissing up and bleeding all your trust
Taking what you need.
Bite the hand that feeds.
You kill your memory
Hitchin' A Ride
Hey mister, where you headed?
Are you in a hurry?
I need a lift to happy hour
Say oh no
Do you brake for distilled spirits
I need a break as well
The well that inebriates the guilt
1,2,1,2,3,4
Cold turkey's getting stale
Tonight I'm eating crow
Fermented salmonella poison oak no
There's a drought at the fountain of youth
And now I'm dehydrating
My tongue is swelling up
As say 1,2,1,2,3,4
Troubled times
You know I can not lie
I'm off the wagon and I'm
Hitchin' a ride
There's a drought at the fountain of youth
And now I'm dehydrating
My tongue is swelling up
I say s**t!
Troubled times
You know I can not lie
I'm off the wagon and I'm
Hitchin' a ride
Troubled times
You know I can not lie
I'm off the wagon and I'm
Hitchin' a ride
Troubled times
You know I can not lie
I'm off the wagon and I'm
Hitchin' a ride
Troubled times
You know I can not lie
I'm off the wagon and I'm
Hitchin' a ride
Troubled times
You know I can not lie
I'm off the wagon and I'm
Hitchin' a ride
Troubled times
You know I can not lie
I'm off the wagon and I'm
Hitchin' a ride
Troubled times
You know I can not lie
I'm off the wagon and I'm
Hitchin' a ride
Troubled times
You know I can not lie
I'm off the wagon and I'm
Hitchin' a ride
The Grouch
I was a young boy that had big plans
Now I'm just another shitty old man
I don't have fun and I hate everything
The world owes me, so ******** you
Glory days don't mean s**t to me
I drank a six pack of apathy
Life's a b***h and so am I
The world owes me, so ******** you
Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals
I had a young and optimisitic point of view
Wasted youth and a fistful of ideals
I had a young and optimisitic point of view
I've decomposed, and my gut's getting fat
Oh my god I'm turning out like my dad
I'm always rude, I've got a bad attitude
The world owes me, so ******** you
The wife's a nag and the kid's ******** up
I don't have sex 'cause i can't get it up
I'm just a grouch sitting on the couch
The world owes me, so ******** you
Redundant
We're living in repetition.
Content in hte same old shtick again.
Now the routine's turning to contention,
Like a porduction line going
Over and over and over, roller coaster
Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice
I'm speachless and redundant
'Cause I love you's not enough
I'm lost for words.
Choreographed and lack of passion
Prototypes of what we were
Went full circle 'til I'm nauseous
Taken for granted now
I waste it, faked it
Ate it, now i hate it
Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice
I'm speachless and redundant
'Cause I love you's not enough
I'm lost for words.
Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice
I'm speachless and redundant
'Cause I love you's not enough
I'm lost for words.
Now I cannot speak, I lost my voice
I'm speachless and redundant
'Cause I love you's not enough
I'm lost for words.
Scattered
I've got some scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor.
Reminds me of the times we shared.
Makes me wish that you were here.
Now it seems I've forgotten my purpose in this life.
All the songs have been erased.
Guess I've learned from my mistakes.
Open the past and present.
Now and we are there.
Story to tell and I am listening.
Open the past and present.
And the future too.
It's all I've got and I'm giving it up to you.
Loose ends tied in knots.
Leaving a lump down in my throat.
Gagging on a souvenir.
Lodged to fill another year.
Drag it on and on until my skin is ripped to shreds.
Leaving myself wide open.
Living out a sacrifice.
If you got no one and I've got no place to go, would it be alright?
Could it be alright?
All The Time
All the time, every time I need it.
What's the time?
I'd say the time is right.
Here's to me.
Let's find another reason.
Down the hatch and a bad attitude.
Salud.
Wasting time
Wasting time down a bum ******** road.
And I don't know where the hell it'll go.
Heirlooms, huffing fumes, and I'm picking up the pace
and I'm gonna smash straight into a wall.
All the time.
A "New Year's Resolution"
How soon that we forget.
Doing time.
Loving every minute.
Live it up on another let down.
Salud.
Promises, promises, it was all set in stone, cross my heart and hope to die.
Sugar fix, dirty tricks and a trick question.
Guess i should have read between the lines.
Having the time of my life, watching the clock tick.
All the time, where did all the time go?
It's too late to say goodnight.
Time flies when you're having fun.
Time's up when you work like a dog.
Salud.
Worry Rock
Another sentimental argument and bitter love.
freaked without a kiss again and dragged it through the mud.
Yelling at brick walls and punching windows made of stone.
The worry rock has turned to dust and fallen on our pride.
A knocked down dragged out fight.
Fat lips and open wounds.
Another wasted night and no one will take the fall.
Where do we go from here?
And what did you do with the directions?
Promise me no dead end streets
And I'll guarantee we'll have the road.
Platypus
Your rise and fall
Back up against the wall
What goes around is coming back and haunting you
It's time to quit
Cause you ain't worth the s**t
Under my shoes or the piss on the ground
No one loves you and you know it
Don't pretend that you enjoy it or you don't care
Cause now I wouldn't lie or tell you all the things you want
to hear.
I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU
I heard your sick
Sucked on that cancer stick
A throbbing tumor and a radiation high
s**t out of luck
And now your time is up
It brings me pleasure just to know you're going to die
Dickhead, ********, c**k smoking, mother ********, a*****e,
dirty t**t, waste of semen, I hope you die HEY
Red eye, code blue
I'd like to strangle you
And watch your eyes bulge right out of your skull
When you go down
Head first into the ground
I'll stand above you just to piss on your grave
Uptight
I woke up on the wrong side of the floor.
Made, made my way through the front door.
Broke my engagement with myself.
Perfect picture of bad health, another notch scratched on my belt.
The future just ain't what it used to be.
I got a new start on a dead end road.
Peaked, peaked out on reaching new lows.
Owe, I paid off all my debts to myself.
Perfect picture of bad health, another notch scratched on my belt.
The future's in my living room.
Uptight, I'm a nag with a gun.
All night, suicide's last call.
I've been uptight all night.
I'm a son of a gun.
Uptight I'm a nag with a gun.
Jinx
I ******** up again it's all my fault.
So turn me around and face the wall.
Read me my rights and tell me I'm wrong.
Until it gets into my thick skull.
A slap on the wrist.
A stab in the back.
Torture me, I've been a bad boy.
Nail me to the cross until you have won.
I lost before I did any wrong.
I'm hexed with regrets and bad luck.
Keep you distance 'cause it's rubbing off.
Or you will be darned to spend your life in heck.
Or earth with me tangled at your feet.
You finally met you nemesis disguised as your fatal long lost love.
So kiss it good bye
Until death do we part.
You fell for a jinx for crying out loud.
Haushinka
Haushinka is a girl with a peculiar name.
I met her on the eve of my birthday.
Did she know, did she know, before she went away, does she know?
But it's too darn late
This girl has gone far away.
Now she's gone.
All I have now is a memory to date.
A cheap hat and cigarettes, and a peculiar name.
I didn't know, I didn't know, before she went away.
I know now, I know now, and it's too darn late.
Will she ever find her way?
I'm too darn young to be too late, but am I?
Yet again I'm kicking myself, and I'll be here in battle scars, waiting for you.
Waiting for you now.
Walking Alone
Come together like a foot in a shoe
Only this time I think I stuck my foot in my mouth.
Thinking out loud and acting in vain.
Knocking over anyone that stands in my way.
Sometimes I need to apologize.
Sometimes I need to admit that I ain't right.
Sometimes I should just keep my mouth shut, or only say hello.
Sometimes I still feel I'm walking alone.
Walk on eggshecks on my old stomping ground,
Yet there's really no one left, that's hanging around.
Isn't that another familiar face?
Too drunk to figure out they're fading away.
Reject
Who the hell are you to tell me what I am
And what's my master plan.
What makes you think that it includes you?
Self-righteous wealth
Stop flattering yourself, 'cause when the smoke clears here I am.
Your reject all-American.
Sucking up you social sect, making you a nervous wreck.
To hell and back and hell again I've gone.
You're not my type.
Not my type.
What's the difference between you and me?
I do what I want, and you do what you're told.
So listen up and shut the hell up.
It ain't no big deal.
And I'll see you in hell, 'cause when the smoke clears here I am,
your reject all-American.
Falling from grace, right on my fave.
To hell and back and hell again I've gone.
Take Back
You pushed me once too far again
I'd like to break you freaking teeth.
Stick a knife in the center of your back.
You better grow some eyes in the back of your head.
I fight dirty, just like your looks.
Can't take, can't take, can't take anymore.
Take back, Take back, Take.
The taste of bad blood on the tip of my tongue.
An eye for an eye.
Gun for a gun.
Cold-cocked and I'm taking back what's mine.
Expect it when you're least expecting it.
No loss of love, the smell of regret.
Lights out
Can't take anymore
shoot
King For A Day
Started at the age of 4.
My mother went to the grocery store.
Went sneaking through her bedroom door to find something in a size 4.
Sugar and spice and everything nice wasn't made for only girls.
GI Joe in panty hose is making room for the one and only.
King for a day, princess by dawn.
King for a day in a leather thong.
King for a day, princess by dawn.
Just wait 'til all the guys get a load of me.
My daddy threw me in therapy.
He thinks I'm not a real man.
Who put the drag in the drag queen.
Don't knock it until you tried it
Good Riddance
Another turning point
A fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist
Directs you where to go
So make the best of this test
And don't ask why
It's not a question
But a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
So take the photographs
And still frames in your mind
Hand it on a shelf of good health
And good time
Tatoos of memories
And dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of you life
Prosthetic Head
see you, down in the front line.
Such a sight for sore eyes, you're a suicide makeover.
Plastic eyes, lookin' through a numbskull.
Self-effaced, what's his face.
You erased yourself so shut up.
You don't let up.
You have a growth that must be treated
Like a severed severe pain in the neck.
You can smell it but you can't see it.
No explanation identified 'cause you don't know.
You don't say.
And you got no reply.
Hey you, where did you come from?
Got a head full of lead, you're a inbred b*****d son.
All dressed up, red blooded, Amannequin
Do or die, no reply, don't deny that you're synthetic.
You're pathetic.

Knight Reaver When it first came out, I remember hearing the song Good Riddance on the radio and Seinfeld...back in '97...and I'm like....boy...they've changed! I know. If you listen to their voices you can really tell they've changed. Plus they were so young back then.
