A brown box, mothballs and bowling shoes
and his opinion so you'd never have to choose" - Bastard

There's an awkward young shadow that waits in the hall
He's cleared all his things and he's put them in boxes
Things that remind him: 'Life has been good'" - Fred Jones (Part Two)

we were standing out on the sidewalk
with our tattoos that looked like rings
in the hot Nevada sun" - You to Thank

Turns out she's been fucking this drum programmer
She likes his style, she likes his rock start glamour
Well she's an infant! he can damn well have her!" - Hiro's Song

beautiful McMansions on a hill
that overlook a highway
with riverboat casinos and you still
have yet to see a soul" - Jesusland

So nothing ever made them right
She liked to push me and talk me back down
Until I believed I was the crazy one, 
and in a way I guess I was..." - Landed

"In a haze these days
I pull up to the stop light
I can feel that something's not right
I can feel that someone's blasting me with hate
And bass
Sendin' dirty vibes my way

Made someones' great great great great Grandaddies slaves
It wasn't my idea
It wasn't my idea
Never was my idea" - Rockin' the Suburbs

"Good morning, son
In twenty years from now
Maybe we'll both sit down and have a few beers
And I can tell you 'bout today
And how I picked you up and everything changed
It was pain
Sunny days and rain
I knew you'd feel the same things" - Still Fighting It

On a Peavey amp in 1984
While Zak without a 'c' tried out some new guitars
Playing Sara-with-no-h's favourite song" - Zak and Sara

Like you've got nothing to prove
No matter what you might do
There's always someone out there cooler than you" - Always Someone Cooler Than You
