Jack Young It carries a great feeling of relatebility, and a quality sense of humor, all wrapped up with some good old yelling and shouting. What a good time! Favorite track: Popcorn Ceiling.

Sicko 02:29
BACKYARD JACKYARD!!! I got teeth like broken ships, I didn't say it, no somebody else did I got eyes like Jesus Christ, what white people think that Jesus looks like I got a heart that was full of gold, but it's been gutted, stolen and sold I got a problem with everything and everything's got a problem with me And you are a sick, sick fuck, but I'm sicker than you And this is a bad, bad joke with a sorry excuse for a punchline It's not that I don't get it, no I got it all except for peace of mind I got a brain that's full of pain, yeah that's where Pat came up with that name I got a voice that's weak and dull, so I scream when I sing I try to sound beautiful I got a habit of fucking up, I always thinking too much, yeah I'm thinking and thinking thinking I got a problem with nothing now but wait 'til those doubts come creeping back around And you are a sick, sick fuck, but I'm sicker than you And this is a bad, bad song with a sorry excuse for a last line It's not that I don't like it, no it's just that it's so simple of a rhyme

I don't want to be your friend anymore, you treat me like I treat myself I'm not one of your pseudo hipster yes men Though you caught my eye just yesterday, now it seems that times have changed I wish to rid my memory of your presence So where will you go, hopefully someplace far from home Hopefully someplace I don't know, so I can never find you Dead feelings (Bye-bye baby, oh so sorry) Dead feelings (Sayonara, nice to know ya) Dead feelings (Not my problem, not no longer) Sometimes it not so bad to be alone I don't want to hold your hand anymore, I'd rather just sit on the shelf I'm not one of your creatine fueled bro friends Now time must pass but soon enough, you'll get the guts to look me up Just know that I won't lie and say that it's fine So where will you go, probably someplace dark and cold Probably someplace with a throne, so you can fit right in there Dead feelings (Bye-bye baby, oh so sorry) Dead feelings (Sayonara, nice to know ya) Dead feelings (Not my problem, not no longer) You and I could never build a home So where will you go, hopefully someplace I don't know Hopefully not to Orlando, and set up shop on North Mills Dead feelings (Bye-bye baby, oh so sorry) Dead feelings (Sayonara, nice to know ya) Dead feelings (Not my problem, not no longer) Sometimes it not so bad to be alone, oh no These dead feelings, they just never want to go

Well, well, well Well ain't you the prettiest thing I've seen in a while And it looks as if you're looking at me, oh boy So may I have this dance my baby, baby And get to know you like a psychopath La muchacha yo encanto Well, well, well Well ain't I the loneliest thing you've seen in a while 'Cause it looks as though you're looking to leave, oh boy So give me one more chance my baby, baby I want to shake you like a seismograph La muchacha yo encanto Well, well, well La muchacha yo encanto

Popcorn ceiling, NyQuil, and tattoos, my all-time favorite record plays through a television screen I know how I feel about you, so tell me what do you think about me So I stare at this popcorn ceiling, while the sky turns blue to black I hope this rain never lets up, I hope this storm never has to pass Popcorn ceiling, salsa, and cigarettes, I can see the lightning strike from inside I just want to post up in my bed, would it be too much if you spent the night So I stare at this popcorn ceiling, while my nerves get torn to shreds I hope this pain never lets up, I hope I never feel alright again I keep telling myself this is make believe What a silly name to call a ceiling So I stare at this popcorn ceiling, while the sky turns blue to black I hope this rain never lets up, I hope this storm never has to pass So I stare at this popcorn ceiling, while my nerves get torn to shreds I hope this pain never lets up, I hope I never feel alright again I hope I never feel alright again I HOPE I NEVER FEEL ALRIGHT

I guess the world's at war with everyone, now the revolutions have begun I get a little nervous when I watch the nightly news I see a young girl with a gas mask on, just watching all the dropping bombs I quickly change the channel to some syndicated show So you won't know death if you choose not to know So I'll just close my eyes and hope that my guilt doesn't show It's life out west, in the 21st century And you know what happens next, it's just repeating history So we'll all fall down, yeah we'll all fall down I guess the time's are finally catching up, we got public enemy number one Everyone's so happy, I guess the world is now at peace But for some reason I have my doubts, my stomach still feels inside out Nothing makes me sadder than a soldier with a smile But you can't be free if you choose not to be So I'll just slide my Ray-Bans on and blend into the scene It's life out west, in the 21st century And you know what happens next, it's just repeating history So we'll all fall down, yeah we'll all fall down It's life out west, in the 21st century And you know what happens next, it's just repeating history Yeah I've been told that we're the best by my teachers in History So you know I passed their tests by choosing A, B, or C But I feels so down, yeah I feel so down

I where t-shirts with band on the fronts of them, as if somehow it makes me apart But i guess that it's better than pop-collared striped ones with emblems stitched over the heart I'll keep kissing this girl that I don't really like, 'cause I don't want to end up alone I guess we'll keep having such meaningless sex though I know our love won't grow There's a painting on your wall that I wish that I was in That gorgeous shade of green looks so magnificent But I'm still just wondering why it's under-appreciated I'll keep taking these classes and learning the names of men who died so long ago If I get my name printed on a thin, white sheet I can show off my large bill fold Well Westboro Baptist Church says the world's gonna end soon, this planet is getting too old I hear if I sell out my friends who are homosexuals that Jesus will save my soul So just know that all those things that you wanted to come true Since they cut your cord are never ever going to You're gonna end up like me, alone, just singing the blues So just know that in the end everybody has to die Yeah just know that in the end we're all trifles in disguise So don't you go holding out hope that just is just another one of my lies
7.
Pain Waves 02:51
I found a way to lie, to lie, to lie I found a way to lie, to lie Don't hold your heart in your hands But there you go, you're doing it again I found a way to lie, to lie, to lie I found a way to lie, to lie Don't wear those thoughts on your head But there you go, you're right back at it again So you say you hate this town, and you hate everybody around So you smoke all night until you can't breathe, and when you wake up you're the one you hate to see I found a way to lie, to lie, to lie I found a way to lie, to lie Don't think of them as your friends Just think of yourself instead But there you go, you're thinking of them again But there you go, you're thinking of her again Well you better learn to lie or you're gonna get hurt again
8.
How well do you know you, I'll bet the farm that it's less than you think that you do How much do you like yourself, I'll take a guess and say far less than everyone else 'Cause nobody, nobody, nobody, no one knows anything about anyone 'Cause everyone, everyone, everyone thinks that they're God or just someone How well do you know you, I'll bet the farm that it's more than you wish that you knew How much do you like yourself, I know the answer but I'll just keep it to myself 'Cause nobody, nobody, nobody, no one knows anything about anyone 'Cause everyone, everyone, everyone thinks they know God or just his son Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, what wonderful poets They call it non-fiction but I've never talked to a snake So call it what you want and I'll want to keep calling you fake 'Cause nobody, nobody, nobody, no one knows anything about anyone 'Cause everyone, everyone, everyone thinks that they're God or just someone 'Cause you know what I know and I don't know shit about anything or anyone So keep counting those card and keep mapping those stars but you'll find out that something is terribly wrong

Cock Monocle 03:43
The cool kids with cool friends, they're wearing out those cop sunglasses I don't know if you know, how did this ever get so awful You'll look back and find that you were just singing all by yourself Yeah you knew, yeah you knew, yeah you knew, yeah you knew, yeah you knew it all But I guess, but I guess, but I guess, but I guess you couldn't see The bright lights and stage fright, I threw up before we played a note You say you feel true blue, I guess you must be back to using Just one more to keep score, I wish I never said "hello" Yeah you knew, yeah you knew, yeah you knew, yeah you knew, yeah you knew it all But I guess, but I guess, but I guess, but I guess you couldn't see You were just fucking around, yeah you're just fucking around I see that look on your face, I've seen that look on your face So when the ship's going down and the planes crash into town, well will you finally admit that you were just shaking hands with yourself Yeah you knew, yeah you knew, yeah you knew, yeah you knew, yeah you knew it all But I guess, but I guess, but I guess, but I guess you couldn't see Yeah you knew, yeah you knew, yeah you knew, yeah you knew, yeah you knew it all But I guess, but I guess, but I guess, but I guess you couldn't see that you were wrong The cool kids with cool friends, they're wearing out those cop sunglasses
10.
I'm sick of screaming at the top of my lungs This just isn't worth it, this just isn't fun Things were exciting when we first started We used to sing praises, now we just burn crosses Oh I think I should leave now, yes I know I can't stay But I know I will miss you when I'm well on my way I'm sick of this feeling that I get every night I'm searching for comfort, but there's no peace in sight I used to just smile, act like nothing was wrong I think you believed me, so I wrote you this song Oh I think I should leave now, yes I know I can't stay But I know I will miss you when I'm well on my way Oh I think I should leave now, yes I know I can't stay But I know I will miss you when I'm well on my way I just thought I should tell you though I know you won't change But I know I will love you 'til the end of my days Yes I know I will love you 'til the end of my days
11.
You remind me of a Florida summer, miserable to be around And you remind of a tasteless drummer, doing anything just to make sound And you remind me of an East side bro with your gym regimen and your tattooed sparrows And you remind me of a young J. Edgar, yeah a real go-getter, so go get fucked Okay! Alright! Okay! Alright! Okay. Alright. Well said. Enough. You remind me of a Florida winter, beautiful but gone so quickly And you remind me of an awful singer, always trying to find the key And you remind me of a West side hipster with your fancy cigarettes and your Bukowski literature And you remind me of a young George W., yeah a real dumb fella, go get that oil Okay! Alright! Okay! Alright! Okay. Alright. Well said. Enough. Enough.
