        Beer
 

   she called me late last night, to say she loved me so
   it didn't matter anymore, but i say she never cared
   and that she never will, i'd do it all again
   i guess i'll have to wait until then

   if i get drunk well, i'll pass out
   on the floor now baby
   you won't bother me no more
   if you're drinkin' well, you know
   that you're my friend and i say
   i think i'll have myself a beer.

   she called me late last night, to say she loved me,
   so..? but i guess he changed her mind.
   well i should have known it wouldn't be
   all right, but i can't live without her
   so i won't even try...

   maybe some day, i'll think of what to say.
   maybe next time i'll remember what to do,
   she looks like heaven, maybe this is hell,
   said she'd do it all again, she'd promise not to tell!

   if i get drunk well, i'll pass out
   on the floor now baby
   you won't bother me no more
   (and she said)
   it's ok boy cause you know
   we'll be good friends
   and i say, i think i'll have myself a beer.

        Say "Ten"
 

   she's not eatin' bacon, not eatin' sausage,
   and she won't eat eggs, not eatin' chicken
   not eatin' turkey, she won't have a steak,
   but i just can't help feelin' sorry
   for this poor little lettuce head
   you know, i can't stop cryin' cause i
   know this broccoli's dead
   vegetarian, i'm not a vegetarian, vegetarian...she's a
   poor little cow, little sheep, little fish
   how can I sleep? when carrots are bleedin'
   plants are screamin' and tomatoes cry,
   you say "it's not so bad, they're only
   vegetables", that's what you said
   maybe i'm a murderer, but i'm hungry
   and they're better off dead.

   save a plant, eat a cow,
   i want beef, i want it now!
   i'm gonna eat it cause it's red!
   i'm gonna eat it cause it's dead!
   maybe i should eat it raw let the
   blood run down my jaw
   i'd eat people if it was legal,
   i'd eat people if it was legal!

   thought i saw my face on mtv
   or a magazine that she won't read, stole
   her heart but it's not my fault, lookin' at
   my picture she forgot about her boyfriend, yea.

   i'll never be...a rock and roll star
   i'll never be...anything, anything at all,
   drives me crazy, can't get away,
   somebody tell me...when do we get paid?

   everybody's lookin' at me
   thought by now i'd be on mtv
   or a magazine like seventeen or rolling stone,
   and i won't be alone with your
   money in my pocket and face on your t-shirt yea.

   i'll never be...a rock and roll star
   i'll never be...anything, anything at all,
   drives me crazy, can't get away,
   but i try and i try and i try and i try
   every day

        Alternative, Baby
 

   well, i see you up on stage and i don't know just
   what you're sayin', but you're my hero...
   and a guy just kicked me in the head, a little girl
   just passed out dead, i'm in between a big jock
   and a sweaty skinhead but i love you
   whatever that means...but i don't wanna talk
   to you, cause i know i'd just say some thing
   stupid and i know you've got better things to do.

   hey, little alternative girl
   don't you wanna be my friend?
   you know I'm singin' all my songs to you
   it's all right if you don't understand.

   maybe i shouldn't be so serious, tellin' you that
   everything sucks cause i don't wanna bring you down
   but it never ever works out right, i'm gonna lose,
   give up the fight, i won't get what i want
   won't get anything but i love you...whatever that means.
   and they don't wanna talk to me cause they know
   what i'll turn out to be, i said i was cool
   but i can't lie to you (but i do)

   hey, little alternative girl
   don't you wanna be my friend?
   you know i'm singin' all my songs to you
   it's all right if you don't understand.

   and i don't wanna start again cause i know
   it'll be the same in the end
   i didn't like it the first time anyway.
