2. I feel stupid and contagious,
3. That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an airplane, Lenny Bruce is not afraid
4. Free at last, they took your life
5. Well... you didn't wake up this morning --Because you didn't go to bed.
6. To distant lands takes both my hands.
7. I hope my legs don't break
8. I picked you out I shook you up And turned you around
9. I want the doctor to take your picture So I can look at you from inside as well
10. I'm going to walk the streets, scream and shout. I'm going to crawl through the alleyways,
11. So unplug the jukebox and do us all a favor
12. And somewhere in my heart There is the will to set you free
13. If you see a faded sign at the side of the road that says
14. And now I see Ince ready for war.
15. Na. Na. Na. Na. Na. Na. Na. Na Hey Hey Hey.
16. Make the world Your priority Try to live your life
17. Once I had a love and it was a gas
18. Dig a hole and put it down A thousand miles underground They say it's no game
19. I shouldn't be up at this time but I can't sleep with you there by my
20. Galloways sore throat expectorant
21. It's not a case of aiming to please You know you're always crying
22. And I cut so far before I had to say:
23. I'm on the chopping block
24. Made me acknowledge the devil in me
25. Baggy jeans and long blond hair
26. It's much too late to find You think you've changed your mind
