and we think we live, but all of us are dying

Don't ever take away from me my pornography
We obviously don't agree on what's obscene
I have the right to choose what I
Want to see and read
Don't try to take away from me
My right to privacy cause what I
Do is no one's business but me
So stay in your missionary position
I hope that you get bored to death
There's no way I'm going through life
Having vanilla sex
The government's trying to get into
Your bedroom you better lock your
Door and close your shades because
There could be someone watching you today
Why do you try to make things illegal
Why do we have to be 21
Are you afraid that people are having
Too much fun

Why do you want to know how I screw
It seems to me you've got nothing better to do - NOFX

Stressing, no, messing, will I ever learn my lesson?
I'm always amazed by what can take place

Die! You Motherfuckers! Die
Die! You Motherfuckers! Die
You take advantage of the little kids
Just 'cause they don't know what's best for them

and it's not for your pocket
It's to unify each other with colorblind ideals - Madcap

I know a man who doesnt have many friends
I know a place he lives, where trouble never ends
I know its hard for him to read 'tween the lines and his days are getting so much shorter
He simply turns away instead of bearing down
His ship is crumbling, his crew is one of clowns
He doesnt care as long as he can wear the crown
I know this man all too well, its my poor friend me
A portrayal of the great dichotomy, a reminder of a tragic history
Its my poor friend me and im running out of steam
I know there are people who are cynical and vane
They point their finger 'cuz they can't accept the blame
They live their lives under a blanket of shame and their progeny crawl from underneath it
Lately i've come to see the solution and it begins with me - Bad Religion

The world owes you nothing except what you earn. Mouthwash

Live life for life's sake each and every day. No matter how bad things get you've got to live it that way. You may think i live in a dream but tell me is it a crime to enjoy life to the extreme? While you've got the time you got to live life, no sense in despair. There's meaning somewhere you've just got to search. Live life, it's all you've got and there's not much that is given you can't overcome. The mortality of your living it's true, you didn't ask to be born so tell me why are you here? We all know that life seems forlorn how can you analyze your fear? - Youth Brigade

This is just a punk rock song written for the people who can see something's wrong. Like ants in a colony we do our share but there's so many other fuckin' insects out there and this is just a punk rock song. Like workers in a company we do our share but there's so many other fuckin' robots out there. 10 million dollars on a losing campaign, 20 million starving and writhing in pain. Big strong people unwilling to give, small in vision and perspective. One in five kids below the poverty line, one population runnin' out of time. - Bad Religion
