It was a sad bittersweet end
When I suddenly lost my brain cancer friend
It turns out poor Brett was just poor
And he told over 30 bands about his cancer before
It was all a scam, he had just shown me someone else's brain scan
But it's ok Brett, yeah it's ok Brett
You may have taken me for a ride
But you gave me my best song about cancer yet
So now you'll be known across the nation
As the guy who started the Fake-A-Wish Foundation
I cured one case of cancer
Will be my acclamation

I'm a rat in a trap
And I'm happy about that
Because everyone believes that I was caught
Now they feel so good about themselves
Cause they like to watch me suffer
Until they found it in their hearts to help me out
So I thanked them and apologized for all my bad behavior
I blamed it on my addiction to cheese
Now everybody likes me and thinks I'm rehabilitated
And I finally get to do what the fuck I please
I'm a rat
And I don't wanna hear your sermon
I am a vermin
And I'm always gonna gnaw on things
I know will aggravate you
I'm a rat acting like a good doer
Till I go back to my sewer
And ingest my chosen poisons
I'm a rat
I'm a rat
I'm a rat
I'm a rat
And I put myself in that trap
Cuz I'm a rat who will race your human races
I don't want the pole position
I won't live on competition
I'm a rat who figured out how to win
Without anybody losing
Or at least not ever knowing they were beaten
Cuz I'm a rat
I'm a rat
I'm a rat
I'm a rat
And I put myself in that trap
And I'm happy about that

How many people have you met, have touched you in a way, that you never will forget
Naja was the a hardcore ambassador and our a punk rock suffragette
With a heart as big as the sun, how could she take care of all of us
And still drink more than anyone, Naja she was the only one
Naja Naja Naja why'd you have to go, now every show will be less fun, cuz we're all missing someone
Naja Naja Naja why'd you have to leave, it's still so hard for me to believe
I think I'm just starting to grieve by writing down these words
But there's no words that are as beautiful as you
Naja, why'd ya have to go like this, when you finally found true happiness
At every punk show now, every band sends you a kiss
My friend Naja I hope you're watching from above, it wasn't sugar and spice you were made of
It was metal spikes and vodka on ice, but mostly you were made out of love
Naja Naja, the princess di of the punk scene, a crusty Katniss Everdeen
December 20th of two thousand and sixteen, the day punk rock we lost our fuckin' queen
We lost our fuckin' queen
Naja Naja

I soar like a balding eagle or a nearsighted hawk
Am I a conceited pigeon or a modest peacock
I'm an in outsider, petticoat tail rider
I'm not a criminal but I'm kind of a cryhmer
For sure the humblest man
My lifelong job is to live in improve
I can't comprehend the mundane
I'm more sincere than a person who's very sincere
When I say living a normal life is simply profane
The least narcistic cordial rockstar
I'll never kick the that joke ball too far
He's the punk rock icon seen on TMZ
Does anyone here wanna hang out with me
The right wrong medicine will won't make you live longer
What does kill you won't make you stronger
The punk rock nightbirds of a feather will always rock together
He's the humblest man on the planet
Give me any joke I will deadpan it
If humility's like wine I'm getting finer with age
He's the most unpretentious NOFX member on stage

The Last Drag

Getting off drugs is so easy, when you're not really on them
But everyone thinks you're on them, and those same people think they're gonna save you
So, I'm on my way to redemption, and I'm hoping to be forgiven
I'm really so fuckin sorry, but first I'm gonna throw myself the best detox party
This is my detox this is my detox this is my detox
This is my detox and I'll cry if I want to
This is my detox and I'll get high if I want to
This is my detox don't call it a vacation
I'm gonna detox through re-toxification
This is my metox cuz it's all about me
Where is my pillbox need a few oxy
This is my detox and I'll cry if I want to
This is my detox and I'll get high if I want to
This is my detox and I'll lie if I want to
This is my detox, I can do it without you
Whatever is broken I can glue it without you
This is my detox I'll get high if I want to
This is my detox.
A pool powder party just before I get sick
And then a Mandy Mitchell brunch and a lithium picnic
A dozen of dommes, a few erotic dancers
Don't ask me the questions if you don't want the answers
I already told you that I'm not the one cheating
Sex is not the same as an intimate beating
This is my detox I'll do whatever I want to
This is my detox
Slow to fast:
I'll feel nothing as I take my last drag, snort the biggest pile and put my head in a plastic bag
I don't wanna die, I just wanna disappear
I thought I was so transparent, but clearly, I'm so unclear
No one understands me, I doubt they ever will
So, I'll stay on the powder, the drink, and the pain pill
Get my shit in order and sign my last will, and testament
With resentment for the past 40 and 5 years
I knew it was over and done for when they stopped pickin' up the phone
Only your oldest and best friends can make you feel so alone
If I wasn't told it, so many times I never would have thought
That it's not really a lie if you never get caught
I had an addiction from years of affliction
More than occasional minor and major abrasions
Dispunktual made up equations that never made sense to a mathematician
Not an adult, an experienced kid on the spectrum, who found a plectrum
And made it his scalpel for cutting his skin like virgin vinyl. Posing suicidal
This is my detox this is what I deserve, this is a drilling a hole in the most sensitive nerve
And I don't really want it, but I want how it makes me, love the terrible places it takes me
I love how it breaks me, cuz now I'm only happy, when I am broken. when I am cokin'
When someone's choking me out.
How are you supposed to go to rehab and rehabilitate

Skeleton Coast
by The Lawrence Arms

Coming back to punk rock after spending a lot of time away listening to other things made this extremely hard hitting and fresh. McCaughan's poetic lyricsm in Sundowner shines through in this release. Somehow Metropole didn't hit me like most, but I can see how "You Are Here" was a precursor to one of my favorite records to come.
