ORGINAL PRANKSTER

You can do it!

Until the break of dawn
Life, Life, and I quote by the letter
Time, Time, Prozac can make it better
Noise, Noise, any kind will do
Can you feel it slip away, well it's all on you

Crime, crime, rockin like Janet Reno
Time Time, 18 and life in Chino
Void Void, all along its true
Well you see the coming day catches up to you yeah

CHORUS:
Knock down the walls
It's alive in you
Knock down the place
You're alone it's true
Knock down the walls
It's alive in you
You're gonna keep your head up through it all
You're gonna bust out on it
Original Prankster
Break out yeah
Original yeah
Bust out ohh
Original Prankster
You'll never stop now, stop now, that's what the main man say
You can do it!

You know it smells like shit, goddamn
Tag team, the double header
Son of Sam, fire always makes it better
Navigate with style and aplumb
Cos wherever you are at that's the tip...

Lies lies, says he's stayin at the Bahamas
Tries tries, and you little hoochy mammas
No way, none of this is true
Well you see it coming down when the joke's on you

CHORUS

Hey!
You can do it!
Time, time, so cool to see ya
Nine, nine don't wanna be ya
Dime dime, so cool to see ya
Nine, nine don't wanna be ya
Crime crime, fine sensimilla
Crime crime, fine sensimilla
Crime crime, fine sensimilla
When you see the coming day catches up to you yeah

CHORUS

THE KIDS AREN'T ALRIGHT

When we were young the future.
Was so bright.
The old neighborhood was so alive.
And every kid on the whole damn street.
Was gonna make it big and not be beat.

Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn.
The kids are grown up.
But their lives are worn.
How can one little street.
Swallow so many lives.

(Chorus):

Chances thrown.
Nothing's free.
Longing for what used to be.
Still it's hard.
Hard to see.
Fragile lives, shattered dreams.

Jamie had a chance, well she really did.
Instead she dropped out and.
Had a couple of kids.
Mark still lives at home.
'Cause he's got no job.
He just plays guitar and smokes a lotta pot.

Jay committed suicide.
Brandon o.d'd and dies.
What the hell is going on.
Cruelest dream dream, reality.

(Repeat Chorus)

WHY DON'T YOU GET A JOB?

My friend's got a girlfriend.
Man he hates that bitch.
He tells me every day.
He says "man I really gotta lose my chick.
In the worst kind of way".

She sits on her ass.
He works his hands to the bone.
To give her money every payday.
But she wants more dinero just to stay at home.
Well my friend.
You gotta say.

I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way.
Why don't you get a job.
Say no way, say no way, no way.
Why don't you get a job.

I guess all his money, well it isn't enough.
To keep her bill collectors at bay.
I guess all his money, well it isn't enough.
Cause that girl's got expensive taste.

I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way.
Why don't you get a job.
Say no way, say no way, no way.
Why don't you get a job.

Well I guess it ain't easy doing nothing at all.
But hey man free rides just don't come along.
every day.

Let me tell you about my other friend now.

My friend's got a boyfriend, man she hates that dick.
She tells me every day.
He wants more dinero just to stay at home.
Well my friend.
You gotta say.


PRETTY FLY (for a white guy)

Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh
Give it to me baby, uh huh, uh huh

And all the girlies say I'm pretty fly for a white guy

Uno dos tres cuatro cinco cinco sems

You know it's kind of hard
Just to get along today
Our subject isn't cool

But he fakes it anyway
He may not have a clue
And he may not have style
But everything he lacks
Well he makes up in denial

So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way

So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabe's
So do that brand new thing

He needs some cool tunes
Not just any will suffice
But they didn't have Ice Cube

So he bought Vanilla Ice
Now cruising in his Pinto, he sees homies as he pass
But if he looks twice
They're gonna kick his lily ass

Now he's getting a tattoo
He's gettin' ink done
He asked for a '13', but they drew a '31'
Friends say he's trying too hard
And he's not quite hip
But in his own mind
He's the dopest trip

So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake

The world needs wannabe's
The world loves wannabe's

So let's get some more wannabe's
And do that brand new thing


SELF ESTEEM

I wrote her off for the tenth time today
And practice all the things I would say
But she came over

I lost my nerve
I took her back and made her dessert
Now I know I'm being used
That's okay man cause I like the abuse

I know she's playing with me
That's okay cause I got no self esteem
We make plans to go out at night
I wait till 2 then I turn out the light
All this rejection's got me so low

If she keeps it up I just might tell her no
When she's saying that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend

Well I guess I should speak up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care
Right? Yeah yeah yeah

Now I'll relate this little bit
That happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
Drunk again and looking to score
Now I know I should say no
But that's kind of hard when she's ready to go

I may be dumb
But I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem


COME OUT AND PLAY (keep'em separated)

Like the latest fashion
Like a spreading disease
The kids are strappin' on their way to the classroom
Getting weapons with the greatest of ease

The gangs stake their own campus locale
And if they catch you slippin' then it's all over pal
If one guy's colors and the other's don't mix
They're gonna bash it up

Hey man you talkin' back to me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey man you disrespecting me?

Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey they don't pay no mind
If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time
Hey come out and play

By the time you hear the siren
It's already too late
One goes to the morgue and the other to jail
One guy's wasted and the other's a waste
