    Ben Harper - With my own two hands

    I can change the world
    With my own two hands
    Make a better place
    With my own two hands
    Make a kinder place
    With my own two hands
    With my own
    With my own two hands

    I can make peace on earth
    With my own two hands
    I can clean up the earth
    With my own two hands
    I can reach out to you
    With my own two hands
    With my own
    With my own two hands

    Im gonna make it a brighter place
    Im gonna make it a safer place
    Im gonna help the human race
    With my own
    With my own two hands

    I can hold you
    With my own two hands
    I can comfort you
    With my own two hands
    But you got to use
    Use your own two hands
    Use your own
    Use your own two hands

    With our own
    With our own two hands
    With my own
    With my own two hands

    So, I'm a bit down today. I chose to work all last weekend and it was just perfect outside. And today, with only a 20% chance of rain, it is raining. :(

    So, a thread about redheads on the AET reminded me how much I have a thing for them and I have been watching Radiohead vids since, on this gloomy day...............so here is one of my favs.

    How to Disappear Completely http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eq9t2FFh6LA&feature=related

    That there
    That's not me
    I go
    Where I please
    I walk through walls
    I float down the Liffey
    I'm not here
    This isn't happening
    I'm not here
    I'm not here

    In a little while
    I'll be gone
    The moment's already passed
    Yeah it's gone
    And I'm not here
    This isn't happening
    I'm not here
    I'm not here

    Strobe lights and blown speakers
    Fireworks and hurricanes
    I'm not here
    This isn't happening
    I'm not here
    I'm not here
    The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance,
    but the illusion of knowledge.
    ~Daniel Boorstin

    Only a life lived for others is worth living.
    ~Albert Einstein
  • THE HOME FRONT - Drive-By Truckers

    The hours creep across the face
    As she paces across the floor
    She can’t even get to sleep since Tony went to war
    She feels bitchslapped and abandoned
    By a world she thought she knew
    Cold beyond comprehension as their little girl turns two

    Now they’re saying on the flat screen
    They ain’t found a reason yet
    We’re all bogged down in a quagmire
    And there ain’t no end to it
    No Nine Eleven or Uranium to pin the bullshit on
    She’s left standing on the home front
    The two of them alone

    Radiohead ~ I Might Be Wrong

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnjVVyzulfs (electric)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drkRIKebX5M (acoustic)
    I might be wrong
    I might be wrong
    I could have sworn
    I saw a light coming on

    I used to think
    I used to think
    There is no future left at all
    I used to think

    Open up, begin again
    Let's go down the waterfall
    Think about the good times and
    Never look back
    Never look back

    What would I do?
    What would I do?
    If I did not have you?

    Open up and let me in
    Let's go down the waterfall
    Have ourselves a good time
    It's nothing at all
    Nothing at all
    Nothing at all
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxWhuazngyM


    They say
    I need some Rogaine
    To put in my hair
    Work it out at the gym
    To fit my underwear
    Oakley makes the shades
    That transform a tool
    You'd hate
    For the kids to think
    That you lost your cool

    I'mma do the things
    That I wanna do
    I ain't got a thing
    To prove to you
    I'll eat my candy
    With the pork and beans
    Excuse my manners
    If I make a scene
    I ain't gonna wear
    The clothes that you like
    I'm finally dandy
    With the me inside
    One look in the mirror
    And I'm tickled pink
    I don't give a hoot
    About what you think

    Everyone likes to dance
    To a happy song
    (Hey, hey)
    With a catchy chorus and beat
    So they can sing along
    (Hey, hey)
    Timbaland knows the way
    To reach the top of the charts
    Maybe if I work with him
    I can perfect the art

    I'mma do the things
    That I wanna do
    I ain't got a thing
    To prove to you
    I'll eat my candy
    With the pork and beans
    Excuse my manners
    If I make a scene
    I ain't gonna wear
    The clothes that you like
    I'm finally dandy
    With the me inside
    One look in the mirror
    And I'm tickled pink
    I don't give a hoot
    About what you think

    No I don't care
    I don't care

    I'mma do the things
    That I wanna do
    I ain't got a thing
    To prove to you
    I'll eat my candy
    With the pork and beans
    Excuse my manners
    If I make a scene
    I ain't gonna wear
    The clothes that you like
    I'm finally dandy
    With the me inside
    One look in the mirror
    And I'm tickled pink
    I don't give a hoot
    About what you think
    Totally different?

    I can ride my bike with no handlebars
    No handlebars
    No handlebars

    I can ride my bike with no handlebars
    No handlebars
    No handlebars

    Look at me, look at me
    hands in the air like it's good to be
    ALIVE
    and I'm a famous rapper
    even when the paths're all crookedy
    I can show you how to do-si-do
    I can show you how to scratch a record
    I can take apart the remote control
    And I can almost put it back together
    I can tie a knot in a cherry stem
    I can tell you about Leif Ericson
    I know all the words to "De Colores"
    And "I'm Proud to be an American"
    Me and my friend saw a platypus
    Me and my friend made a comic book
    And guess how long it took
    I can do anything that I want cuz, look:

    I can keep rhythm with no metronome
    No metronome
    No metronome

    I can see your face on the telephone
    On the telephone
    On the telephone

    Look at me
    Look at me
    Just called to say that it's good to be
    ALIVE
    In such a small world
    All curled up with a book to read
    I can make money open up a thrift store
    I can make a living off a magazine
    I can design an engine sixty four
    Miles to a gallon of gasoline
    I can make new antibiotics
    I can make computers survive aquatic conditions
    I know how to run a business
    And I can make you wanna buy a product
    Movers shakers and producers
    Me and my friends understand the future
    I see the strings that control the systems
    I can do anything with no assistance
    I can lead a nation with a microphone
    With a microphone
    With a microphone
    I can split the atoms of a molecule
    Of a molecule
    Of a molecule

    Look at me
    Look at me
    Driving and I won't stop
    And it feels so good to be
    Alive and on top
    My reach is global
    My tower secure
    My cause is noble
    My power is pure
    I can hand out a million vaccinations
    Or let'em all die in exasperation
    Have'em all grilled leavin lacerations
    Have'em all killed by assassination
    I can make anybody go to prison
    Just because I don't like'em and
    I can do anything with no permission
    I have it all under my command
    I can guide a missile by satellite
    By satellite
    By satellite
    and I can hit a target through a telescope
    Through a telescope
    Through a telescope
    and I can end the planet in a holocaust
    In a holocaust
    In a holocaust
    In a holocaust
    In a holocaust
    In a holocaust
    In a holocaust

    I can ride my bike with no handlebars
    No handle bars
    No handlebars

    I can ride my bike with no handlebars

    Nice video, thanks for posting it. A friend had told me to check this song out earlier today and I had forgotten all about it.

    Tool-The Grudge

    Wear your grudge like a crown of negativity.
    Calculate what we will or will not tolerate.
    Desperate to control all and everything.
    Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen.
    Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
    Justify denials and grip it to the lonesome end.
    Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
    Terrified of being wrong. Ultimatum prison cell.

    Saturn ascends, choose one or ten. Hang on or be humbled again.

    Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
    Justify denials and grip it to the lonesome end.
    Saturn ascends, comes round again.
    Saturn ascends, the one, the ten. Ignorant to the damage done.

    Wear your grudge like a crown of negativity.
    Calculate what you will or will not tolerate.
    Desperate to control all and everything.
    Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen.

    Wear the grudge like a crown. Desperate to control.
    Unable to forgive. And we're sinking deeper.

    Defining, confining, sinking deeper. Controlling, defining, and we're sinking deeper.

    Saturn comes back around to show you everything
    Let's you choose what you will not see and then
    Drags you down like a stone or lifts you up again
    Spits you out like a child, light and innocent.

    Saturn comes back around. Lifts you up like a child or
    Drags you down like a stone to
    Consume you till you choose to let this go.
    Choose to let this go.

    Give away the stone. Let the oceans take and transmutate this cold and fated anchor.
    Give away the stone. Let the waters kiss and transmutate these leaden grudges into gold.

    Let go.
  • Manic Street Preachers - Your Love Alone Is Not Enough
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyrJJxGWQ5g

    Your love alone - is not enough not enough not enough
    When times get tough they get tough they get tough they get tough

    Trade all your heroes in for ghosts in for ghosts in for ghosts
    They're always the one's that love you most love you most love you most

    Your love alone - is not enough not enough not enough
    It's what you felt it's what you said what you said what you said

    You said the sky would fall on you fall on you fall on you
    Through all the pain your eyes stayed Blue they stayed Blue Baby Blue

    But your love alone won't save the world
    You knew the secret of the universe
    Despite it all you made it worse
    It left you lonely it left you cursed

    You stole the sun straight from my heart from my heart from heart
    With no excuses just fell apart fell apart fell apart

    No you won't make a mess of me mess of me mess of me
    For you're as blind as a man can be man can be man can be

    I could have seen for miles and miles
    I could have made you feel alive
    I could have placed us in exile
    I could have shown you how too cry

    Your love alone is not enough
    Your love alone is not enough

    The beast in me
    Is caged by frail and fragile bars
    Restless by day
    And by night rants and rages at the stars
    God help the beast in me

    The beast in me
    Has had to learn to live with pain
    And how to shelter from the rain
    And in the twinkling of an eye
    Might have to be restrained
    God help the beast in me

    Sometimes it tries to kid me
    That it's just a teddy bear
    And even somehow manage to vanish in the air
    And that is when I must beware
    Of the beast in me that everybody knows
    They've seen him out dressed in my clothes
    Patently unclear
    It it's New York or New Year
    God help the beast in me

    "If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next"

    The future teaches you to be alone
    The present to be afraid and cold
    So if I can shoot rabbits
    Then I can shoot fascists

    Bullets for your brain today
    But we'll forget it all again
    Monuments put from pen to paper
    Turns me into a gutless wonder

    And if you tolerate this
    Then your children will be next
    And if you tolerate this
    Then your children will be next
    Will be next
    Will be next
    Will be next

    Gravity keeps my head down
    Or is it maybe shame
    At being so young and being so vain

    Holes in your head today
    But I'm a pacifist
    I've walked La Ramblas
    But not with real intent

    And if you tolerate this
    Then your children will be next
    And if you tolerate this
    Then your children will be next
    Will be next
    Will be next
    Will be next
    Will be next

    And on the street tonight an old man plays
    With newspaper cuttings of his glory days

    And if you tolerate this
    Then your children will be next
    And if you tolerate this
    Then your children will be next
    Will be next
    Will be next
    Will be next

    Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    Here from the king's mountain view
    Here from the wild dream come true
    Feast like a sultan I do
    On treasures and flesh, never few.

    But I, I would wish it all away.
    If I thought I'd Lose you just one day.

    The devil and his had me down,
    in love with the dark side I'd found.
    Dabble in all the way down
    up to my neck soon to drown.

    But you changed that all for me.
    Lifted me up, turned me round.
    So I...
    I...
    I...
    I...
    I would
    I would
    I would
    Wish this all away

    Prayed like a father dusk to dawn.
    Beg like a hooker all night long.
    Tempted the devil with my song.
    And got what I wanted all along.

    But I,
    And I would,
    If I could,
    And I would,
    Wish it away,
    Wish it away,
    Wish it all away,
    Wanna wish it all away,
    No prize that could hold sway,
    Or justify my giving away,
    my center.

    So if I could I'd wish it all away.
    If I thought tomorrow would take you away.
    You're my peace of mind, my home, my center.
    I'm just trying to hold on,
    One more day.

    Dim my eyes...
    Dim my eyes...

    Dim my eyes if they should compromise
    our fulcrum what you need divides me then
    I might as well be gone.

    Shine on forever.
    Shine on benevolent son.

    Shine down upon the broken.
    Shine until the two become one.

    Shine on forever.
    Shine on benevolent son.

    Shine on upon the severed.
    Shine until the two become one.

    Divided I'm withering away.

    Divide and I'm withering away.

    Shine on upon the many, light our way
    Benevolent son.

    Breathe in union.
    Breathe in union.
    Breathe in union.
    Breathe in union.
    Breathe in union.
    So as one survive.
    Another day and season.

    Silence leech, and save your poison.
    Silence leech, and stay out of my way.

    Butterfly ~ Weezer

    not the best video but the only one i could find other than covers and a live version

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=VMmfOdfkISI

    Yesterday I went outside
    With my momma's mason jar
    Caught a lovely Butterfly
    When I woke up today
    Looked in on my fairy pet
    She had withered all away
    No more sighing in her breast
    I'm sorry for what I did
    I did what my body told me to
    I didn't mean to do you harm
    Everytime I pin down what I think I want
    It slips away - the ghost slips away
    I smell you on my hand for days
    I can't wash away your scent
    If I'm a dog then you're a bitch
    I guess you're as real as me
    Maybe I can live with that
    Maybe I need fantasies
    A life of chasing butterfly

    I'm sorry for what I did
    I did what my body told me to
    I didn't mean to do you harm
    Everytime I pin down what I think I want
    It slips away - the ghost slips away

    I told you I would return
    When the robin makes his nest
    But I ain't never coming back
    I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    SALT OF THE EARTH
    Rolling Stones

    Let's drink to the hard working people
    Let's drink to the lowly of birth
    Raise your glass to the good and the evil
    Let's drink to the salt of the earth

    Say a prayer for the common foot soldier
    Spare a thought for his back breaking work
    Say a prayer for his wife and his children
    Who burn the fires and who still till the earth

    And when I search a faceless crowd
    A swirling mass of gray and black and white
    They don't look real to me
    In fact, they look so strange

    Raise your glass to the hard working people
    Let's drink to the uncounted heads
    Let's think of the wavering millions
    Who need leaders but get gamblers instead

    Spare a thought for the stay-at-home voter
    His empty eyes gaze at strange beauty shows
    And a parade of the gray suited grafters
    A choice of cancer or polio

    And when I look in the faceless crowd
    A swirling mass of grays and black and white
    They don't look real to me
    Or don't they look so strange

    Let's drink to the hard working people
    Let's think of the lowly of birth
    Spare a thought for the rag taggy people
    Let's drink to the salt of the earth

    Let's drink to the hard working people
    Let's drink to the salt of the earth
    Let's drink to the two thousand million
    Let's think of the humble of birth

    Lets raise our drink
    To the salt of the earth
    Lets raise our drink

    Libraries gave us power
    Then work came and made us free
    What price now for a shallow piece of dignity

    I wish I had a bottle
    Right here in my dirty face to wear the scars
    To show from where I came

    We dont talk about love we only want to get drunk
    And we are not allowed to spend
    As we are told that this is the end

    A design for life
    A design for life
    A design for life
    A design for life

    I wish I had a bottle
    Right here in my pretty face to wear the scars
    To show from where I came

    We dont talk about love we only want to get drunk
    And we are not allowed to spend
    As we are told that this is the end

    A design for life

    Just because I don't say anything,
    Doesn't mean I don't like you.
    I open my mouth and I try and i try
    But no words came out.

    Without 40 oz. of social skills
    I'm just an ass
    in the crack
    of humanity.
    I'm just a huge manatee.
    A huge manatee.

    And besides you're probably holding hands
    With some skinny, pretty girl that likes to
    Talk about bands and
    All I wanna do is ride bikes with you
    And stay up late and watch cartoons.

    Duck Tales, shirt tails, Talespin, Sailor Moon, GI Joe, Robotech, Ron Jeremy, Schmoo.

    I wanna watch cartons with you.
    Josie and the Pussycats and Scooby Do,
    I want you to watch cartoons with me.
    He-man, Voltron and Hong-Kong-Fui

    I tried to ask you to your face
    But no words came out.
    I put on my hood and walked away,
    That doesn't mean I don't like you.

    And besides your probably holding hands
    With some skinny, pretty girl that likes to
    Talk about bands and
    All I wanna do is ride bikes with you,
    And stay up late and maybe spoon.

    Just because I don't say anything
    Doesn't mean I don't like you.
    No...
    I opened my mouth and i tried and i tried.

    With some skiny, pretty girl that likes to

    I'm just your average Thundercats ho.

    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    The Strokes ~ 12:51

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=rwJwJtcsO8Y

    Talk to me now I'm older
    Your friend told you 'cause I told her
    Friday nights have been lonely
    Change your plans and then phone me.

    We could go and get 40s
    Fuck goin' to that party
    Oh really, your folks are away now?
    Alright, let's go, you convinced me.

    12:51 is the time my voice
    Found the words i sought...
    Is it this stage I want?

    The world is shutting out...for us.
    We were tense for sure,
    But we was confident...

    Kiss me now that I'm older
    I won't try to control you
    Friday nights have been lonely
    Take it slow but don't warn me

    We'd go out and get 40s
    Then we'd go to some party
    Oh really, your folks are away now?
    Alright I'm coming...

    I'll be right there.

    There was a sense of disappointment as we left the mall
    All the young people looked the same
    Wearing their masks of cool and indifference
    Commerce dressed up as rebellion

    'Cause we're so handsome and we're so bored
    So entertain us, tell me a joke
    Make it long, make it last
    Make it cruel, just make me laugh
    We can't be hurt, we can't be hurt

    Drink to forget your blues on the weekend
    Think about more things to buy
    The tv taught me how to sulk and love nothing
    And how to grow my hair long

    'Cause we're so handsome and we're so bored
    So entertain us, tell me a joke
    Make it long, make it last
    Make it cruel, just make me laugh
    We can't be hurt, we can't be hurt
    We can't be hurt

    So why do you go picking fights that you'll lose?
    (When u have entertainment. when you have things to pass the time)
    So why do you go thinking thoughts that are above you?
    (You can be happy just playing dumb. you can be happy just playing dumb)

    Well I was brave (and unique), intelligent (a snowflake)
    I could have been a hero
    No-one can be trusted under the age of fourteen
    Tattoo our arms (converse shoes), cynical (?)
    We tell ourselves we're different
    I've gotten so good at lying to myself

    (Oh!)
    All my pain and honour is used up
    (Oh! oh! oh!)
    All my guns are rusted

    So when you gonna realise
    Those are not your wrongs to right?
    Have another line, have another drink

    I am a martyr, I just need a motive
    I am a martyr, I just need a cause
    I'm a believer, I just need a moment
    I'm a believer, I just need a cause

    We're finding it hard to break the mould
    We're finding it hard to be alone
    We're finding it hard to ... ourselves
    We have nothing at all to say

    Uniform

    There was a sense of disappointment as we left the mall
    All the young people looked the same

    Last Flowers ~ Radiohead

    Appliances have gone berserk
    I cannot keep up
    Treading on people's toes
    Snot-nosed little punk

    And I can't face the evening straight
    You can offer me escape
    Houses move and houses speak
    If you take me then you'll get relief
    relief, relief, relief, ...

    And if I'm gonna talk
    I just wanna talk
    Please don't interrupt
    Just sit back and listen

    Cause I can't face the evening straight
    And you can offer me escape
    Houses move and houses speak
    If you take me then you'll get relief
    relief, relief, relief, relief...

    It's too much
    Too bright
    Too powerful

    Too much
    Too bright
    Too powerful

    Too much
    Too bright
    Too powerful

    Too much

    The Grudge
    Wear your grudge like a crown of negativity.
    Calculate what we will or will not tolerate.
    Desperate to control all and everything.
    Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen.
    Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
    Justify denials and grip it to the lonesome end.
    Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
    Terrified of being wrong. Ultimatum prison cell.

    Saturn ascends, choose one or ten. Hang on or be humbled again.

    Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
    Justify denials and grip it to the lonesome end.
    Saturn ascends, comes round again.
    Saturn ascends, the one, the ten. Ignorant to the damage done.

    Wear your grudge like a crown of negativity.
    Calculate what you will or will not tolerate.
    Desperate to control all and everything.
    Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen.

    Wear the grudge like a crown. Desperate to control.
    Unable to forgive. And we're sinking deeper.

    Defining, confining, sinking deeper. Controlling, defining, and we're sinking deeper.

    Saturn comes back around to show you everything
    Let's you choose what you will not see and then
    Drags you down like a stone or lifts you up again
    Spits you out like a child, light and innocent.

    Saturn comes back around. Lifts you up like a child or
    Drags you down like a stone to
    Consume you till you choose to let this go.
    Choose to let this go.

    Give away the stone. Let the oceans take and transmutate this cold and fated anchor.
    Give away the stone. Let the waters kiss and transmutate these leaden grudges into gold.

    Let go.

    Monsters ~ Band of Horses

    A tree for all these problems
    They can find you for the moment
    Then for all past efforts
    There buried deep beneath
    Your heart and somewhere in your stomach

    And hey, transform all others
    When awful people they surround you
    Well hey, they just like monsters
    They come to feed on me
    Giant little animals to feed

    Though to say we got much hope
    If i am lost it's only for a little while

  • Beautiful, you're beautiful, as beautiful as the sun
    Wonderful, you're wonderful, as wonderful as they come
    And I can't help but feel attached
    To the feelings I can't even match
    With my face pressed up to the glass, wanting you
    Beautiful, you're beautiful, as beautiful as the sky
    Wonderful, it's wonderful, to know that you're just like I
    And I'm sure you know me well, as I'm sure you don't
    But you just can't tell
    Who'll you love and who you won't
    And I love you, as you love me
    So let the clouds roll by your face
    We'll let the world spin on to another place
    We'll climb the tallest tree above it all
    To look down on you and me and them
    And i'm sure you know me well, as I'm sure you don't
    But you just can't tell, who you'll love and who you won't
    Don't let your life wrap up around you
    Don't forget to call, whenever
    I'll be here just waiting for you
    I'll be under your stars forever
    Neither here nor there just right beside you
    I'll be under the stairs forever
    Neither here nor there just right beside you
    we don’t know just where our bones will rest,
    to dust i guess,
    forgotten and absorbed into the earth below,..

    i fear that i am ordinary, just like everyone
    to lie here and die among the sorrows
    adrift among the days
    for everything i ever said
    and everything i've ever done is gone and dead
    as all things must surely have to end
    and great loves will one day have to part
    i know that i am meant for this world
    my life has been extraordinary
    blessed and cursed and won
    time heals but i'm forever broken
    by and by the way...
    have you ever heard the words
    i'm singing in these songs?
    it's for the girl i've loved all along
    can a taste of love be so wrong
    as all things must surely have to end
    and great loves will one day have to part
    i know that i am meant for this world
    and in my mind as i was floating
    far above the clouds
    some children laughed i'd fall for certain
    for thinking that i'd last forever
    but i knew exactly where i was
    and i knew the meaning of it all
    and i knew the distance to the sun
    and i knew the echo that is love
    and i knew the secrets in your spires
    and i knew the emptiness of youth
    and i knew the solitude of heart
    and i knew the murmurs of the soul
    and the world is drawn into your hands
    and the world is etched upon your heart
    and the world so hard to understand
    is the world your can't live without
    and i knew the silence of the world

    Gideon - My Morning Jacket

    Gideon, what have you taught us at all?
    Make a sound, and come down off the wall
    Religion should appeal to the hearts of the young
    Who are you, and what have you become?

    Animal, come on
    What does this remind you of?

    Truly, truly we have become
    Hated and feared for something that we don't want
    Listen, listen
    Most of us believe that this is wrong

    Animal, come on
    What does this remind you of?
    What does this remind you of?
    Animal, come on

    Her name is Noel
    I have a dream about her
    she rings my bell
    I got gym class in half an hour

    Oh how she rocks
    In Keds and nike socks
    But she doesn't know who I am
    And she doesn't give a damn about me

    Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
    Yeah I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
    Listen to Iron Maiden baby with me
    Ooohoooooo

    Her boyfriend's a dick
    he brings a gun to school
    And he'd simply kick
    My ass if he knew the truth
    He lives on my block
    He drives an IROC
    But he doesn't know who I am
    And he doesn't give a damn about me...

    Cause i'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
    Yeah i'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
    listen to Iron Maden baby

    Oh yeah, dirtbag
    No, she doesn't know what she's missing.
    Oh yeah, dirtbag
    No, she doesn't know what she's missing.

    Man I feel like mold
    It's prom night and I am lonely.
    Low and behold
    she's walking over to me.

    This must be fake
    My lips starts to shake
    How does she know who I am?
    And why does she give a damn about me?

    she sais,
    I've got two tickets to Iron Maiden baby
    Come with me Friday - don't say maybe.
    I'm just a teenage dirtbag baby
    like you
    Ooohoo Hoo Hooooooo
