My Greatest Treasure (Punk) — lyrics

The sun and the moon and a song out of tune
Are the places where I feel close to god
But I'm kidding myself
Cause as much as I love those moments
It's you, all I ever want

Yeah, that rock is my temple
And this view is my kingdom
But I lie when I call them home

Because if I stop and pray
On that rock most any day
It's you, I'm wishing for
Because your kiss is the only religion
That I have ever known

And so, come with me and take my hand
I will give you this world, my soul
Because the moments that we've shared
Are the greatest treasures I have ever owned

Now I'm watching you sleep
In our bed, in our home
That we built on the love for each other and our kids

And in the dreams we've shared
I keep searching for more
When everything I need's right in front of me
I guess nothing so important
Is ever as complex as it seems

And so, come with me and take my hand
I will give you this world, my soul
Because the moments that we've shared
Are the greatest treasures I have ever owned

Yeah, come with me and take my hand
I will give you this world, my soul
Because seeing that smile
Is the greatest pleasure I have ever known

My Greatest Treasure (Acoustic) — lyrics

The sun and the moon and a song out of tune are the places where I feel close to God
But I'm kidding myself because as much as I love those moments, it's you
You're all I ever want

Yeah, that rock is my temple and this view is my kingdom, but I lied when I called them home
Because if I stop and pray on that rock most any day, it's you that I'm wishing for
Because your kiss is the only religion that I have ever known

And so, come with me and take my hand. I will give you this world, my soul
Because the moments that we've shared are the greatest treasures I have ever owned

Now I'm watching you sleep in our bed, in our home that we built on our love for each other
And our kids
And in the dreams we've shared, I keep searching for more
When everything I need is right in front of me
Yes, nothing so important is ever as complex as it seems

And so, come with me and take my hand. I will give you this world, my soul
Because the moments that we've shared are the greatest treasures I have ever owned

Daddy Was A Punk (Acoustic) — lyrics

Yeah, did you know that your daddy was a punk
Back before he drove a family-friendly car
How many million times did he tell you about those glory days
And about how he got that stupid scar

Yeah, did you know that your daddy was a punk
He used to live off Del Taco and ditch school
That hypocrite yells at you about doing all your homework
When he was at the beach or in a pool

So don't do what he did and don't lie to your parents
Don't hide from your responsibilities
Do what's right, do it now before it gets too late
Tell your dad to fuck off before he dies

If he's a poser, he'll be mad
And if he's a little bitch, he'll get real sad
But if he's a real punk, he'll still probably get angry
But deep inside, he'll be so fucking proud

Yeah, you know your daddy was a punk
But if he's not one right now, he never was
So just play it safe before it gets too late
Just in case, tell your dad to fuck off

Yeah, just play it safe before it gets too late
Just in case, tell your dad to fuck off

Already Been Done (feat. Joe Bear) — lyrics

Growing up in the country wasn't so easy
It was hard to do the things that you've done
Most ramblin Gamblin outlaws feel the same way about it
And a hundred cowboys already wrote that song

Hey blue eyes, I was gonna write a song
To tell you just how good you make me feel
Was gonna tell you that I love you
was gonna tell you that I need you
was gonna paint a picture of what you mean to me

I was gonna write that song to try to right some old wrongs
Cause you are the lens through everything I see
I tried and I tried to bring words to my tongue
But so many lovers already wrote that song

I'd write a song for my baby
I'd write a song for my friends
I'd write a song for anyone who would sing along
But there's no need to write any new songs tonight cause all the good ones have all been sung
Yes all the good ones have already been done

Daddy Was A Punk — lyrics

You know your parents are trying really hard
To raise you the best way they know how
So when they tell you to do all those things that they tell you
Just remember they were once your age too

Did you know that your daddy was a punk?
Back before he drove a family friendly car?
How many million times did he tell you about those glory days
and about how he got that stupid fucking scar?

Did you know that your daddy was a punk?
He used to live off del taco and ditch school,
That hypocrite yells at you about doing all your homework when he was at a beach or in a pool.

So don't do what he did.
Don't lie to you parents.
Don't hide from your responsibilities.
Do what's right.
Do it now.
Before it gets too late.
Tell your dad to fuck off before he dies.

If he's a poser, he'll get mad.
If he's a little bitch he'll get real sad.
But if he's he s a real punk
he'll still probably get angry
But deep inside he'll be so fucking proud.

Saturday Morning Punk Rock (feat. Alex Alexander) — lyrics

I used to meet my friends all the time to rock out
We take over one of our parents, garages and play that shit real loud
But then life caught up. We all got jobs and we don't talk much more.
But in my head, we play those songs all the time while I'm alone.

It's Saturday, it's Saturday. It's time to play punk rock.
I've got brobot as my wingman..that dude lives in my laptop
I'm obsessed with bad religion. I'm obsessed with Oozin' Aahs.
Yeah, I'm a stunted old man that loves punk rock

I Wrote This Song 25 Years Too Late — lyrics

I could start a pop punk band,
Do my best fat Mike impression
Get a couple million fans
And make a million bucks
We won't have to be good
We'll water down their hits
Make some wiener jokes
And get real drunk

I won't have to think
I won't have to try
I won't have believe the songs I write

I'll just nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah

1999 (feat. Mike With Salad) — lyrics

Let's pretend it's 1999 and we're hanging out again for the first time
We'll hit up the thrift store and sing some rancid songs
I promise I won't freeze up this time,

This time I'll remember all the words
And we'll sing the wolf like our live's are on the line
And if someone's down to play some songs at the park behind the library
We'll realize how fucking rad that is this time

Not For Me — lyrics

"But have you heard that country song?," was said a bunch of times to me.
and then I make a joke about punk rock and about the dudes like to play country
and then I heard some Johnny Cash and a little Dolly
And I thought, this aint too bad

Some things are just so fucking stupid
And that stupid something just ain't for me

No Time — lyrics

Have no time to write this song
No time to get things done
No time to do any of the things
That I wanna do

No time to have some fun
No time to get some sun
No time to even touch some grass
Or to come see you

I have no time
We know that's not true

Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda — lyrics

If I died tomorrow, the thing I'd miss the least is the thing I should've done instead of this.

If I died tomorrow, the things I'd miss the most are the things I could've done instead of this.

If I died tomorrow, the things I'd regret the most are all the things I've done that weren't this.

WE WILL LIVE FOREVER

Lost My Voice Again — lyrics

Screaming alone in my bedroom is one hell of a thing to do
All of my neighbors think I'm nuts
Screening alone in my car on my way to work
These common rider songs can't sing themselves

I lost my voice again oh what am I to do
I lost my voice again tell my boss I've got the flu
If I had the time to do what I wanna do
I'd start a band

This Morning I am Born Again (Woody Guthrie OG Lyrics)

New Day's Resolution — lyrics

Yeah, I'm hangin' up the phone I'm gonna pick up my skateboard and ride on out of here
Fuck everything
This is a new day's resolution, a new day's revelation
A product of a million things and too many days of workin
Cause I know that I'm in a better place when the sun's out
And my shirt's off

See You In Hell — lyrics

I hope I'll never find enough hate to fully understand
Why you're wearing those shoes or why you stand where you stand
I thought Jesus said to love your neighbor as you love yourself
I guess if you believe in him you know ill see you in hell

See you in hell
I'll be seeing you in hell

Conversation with My Oldest Friend — lyrics

Sometimes I walk these trails because I'm having a great day
And sometimes I walk when I'm feeling bad hoping to turn these feels away
But lately people have been dropping cancer and death has been rolling through
And there's a mountain of regret built with the plans I didn't do

So I asked Oakie you've been keeping an eye you've got knots that are 100 years old
He said you've been lucky to have loved them
You've been lucky to have been known
Trust me I've known a lot of lonely souls

Sides (Piano Demo) — lyrics

She was surrounded by the people that she loved the most
But she couldn't remember why we were there
Then she'd look around and realize and with the most intense eyes she'd ask why he wasn't there

Every time she heard the news, it came as a surprise
So she wrote it down on the back of some scratch paper
On one side was his name and the date that he died
On the other was a drawing of a flower in her style
It was the single saddest moment of her life
And she had to relive it a million times

Mikkei Bought a Bass Guitar (feat. Mike with Salad) — lyrics

Yeah, Mikkei bought a bass guitar. In fact, I think he bought a bunch
He's the most talented musician that I know
His new band is fucking rad and his bass lines are amazing
Maybe he could play one for us now

Old Dudes With Beards Lookin' Tough — lyrics

I'm stoked you started a new band, I can't wait to hear a song
I can tell by the pictures you posted you guys are gonna rock real hard

You all shaved your heads cuz we're all going bald
And cut off your sleeves to show off those tattoos
And your all rocking beards and your all looking rough
And you're all looking mean and your all looking tough

But what the fuck guys, why can't you rock a smile?!
We're all getting old and we're all out of style
And if you've found the time to play in a band
You fucking won, you should be happy as a clam

No Time To Smell Her Flowers — lyrics

There's a fig tree on Lynn Road Between my house and Wildwood
That makes the most delicious fruit
I stop and eat a couple
Every time that they're in season
And holy shit, they are so good

No time to smell her flowers
And no time to pick her fruit
No time to walk to Wildwood
And no time to visit her
But I'm still here
I think about her all the time

From Lizard Rock (With Love) — lyrics

I know I made that joke when you invited me to Temple about where it is that I convene with god
But the more I think it through the more I realize it's true.
This is my place, my church my temple my home this is my spot.

With love, from lizard rock

I Was a Man — lyrics

The moment you called me by my name, I knew
I couldn't let fear and ignorance control what I could do
You fought for me and taught me of my worth
I fought for myself and I showed the world

I was an artist
I was a historian
I was a biologist
And I was a man

Turning Point — lyrics

I spent my whole life thinking about the moment that changed my course
So I went back in time and fixed it
Nothing changed

Let There Be Light — lyrics

"Matter and energy had ended and with it space and time."

And the great AC woke to proclaim, "Let there be light!"
"And there was light…"

A story can inspire and a story can control
And a piece of art can ignite a movement or tear apart your soul

Blind Faith — lyrics

Why was I created and what is my purpose?
The explanations you give me don't add up
You're clearly an inferior design so I can understand why the master spared you from the truth

Confidence and ignorance are one and the same thing, when blind faith is the only song you'll sing

Talking Crypto Freedom (Live) — lyrics

Crypto is about community, not you, not me, but the collective we
We choose to participate or not, the choice is ours, it can't be stopped

There as much for the folks that we disagree with
There as much for the folks that we don't even live with
There as much for the poor in another country
Or the folks in our country who live on the streets
