Big D And The Kids Table - Good Luck Lyrics
Myself
can someone tell me what i'm seeing it's something lost but still I'm reaching there's nothing left that could keep me hanging on (the only thing I miss is myself, the only thing i miss is myself) - as the pendulum is swinging, from side to side i often wonder why that the things that mean the most to me, can never be, i cut my losses and move forward - can someone tell me what I'm seeing it's something lost but still i'm reaching, there's nothing left that could keep me hanging on [chorus] front line my friends they don't give up, on me when small things grab on and they try to weigh me down, i reach to pull, cause my life's a grip and that grip is what keeps hanging on, can someone tell me what i'm seeing it's something lost but still i'm reaching, there's nothing left that could keep me hanging on [chorus] you said you needed a ride home, front seat three others in the back, i looked at you asked if you're ok - said yes now we're off on our way - now turn your heads against the glass too much to late you're moving fast, rolling rolling the window down ride changed when I heard the sound, can someone tell me what i'm seeing it's something lost but still i'm reaching, there's nothing left that could keep me hanging on [chorus]

G.L.D.
g.l.d. she's all over me she's a sketchy sketchy girl and i know that you'll agree, when i was invited to climb into her bed, i just rolled over and pretended i was dead, (she's an elf, it's not ok, she's short - short, stupid - stupid so lame I want her to leave me alone I want to go home) G.L.D. can't believe you brought her by, like lice from the sea can't believe she multiplied, after clearing out the room don't you think you all should leave, how'd you ever trick my friend how'd you brainwash steve [chorus]

Are You Just Scared?
standing with everyone you do what they all do you talk and agree but you still have no clue your smile's like a mask just for us to see but it's getting hotter inside and it's getting hard to breathe, yesterday you're something, you're something that you're not, yesterday you're something, you're something that you're not, today you're something, you're something that you're not, you're hard to figure out you're hard to figure out, are you who you said - well i can't tell, i can't tell - are you real with me - well i can't tell at all (is that what you're like or are you just scared) where did you get that off the tv or a trend who are you trying to be like, like an actor or a band i liked you much better when you just didn't care didn't care about how you were acting or what you had to wear, one day you put down something the next day it's who you are you get so caught up in their crap you'll try anything when you're the star how can they change you so quickly you are led am i talking to you or is who i know dead. [chorus]

Fatman
(he never minded - he never cared - he walks with his shirt off - he walks and we stare don't laugh, don't mock, don't snicker don't point, he's happy to be alive he's happy that's the point) (well i think that) they're all called charlie yet probably not, they're always sweating buckets, skins beating red hot, well it's like do you think you'll make it home ok, because step after step you'll be digging your grave they're good they got it they know what they need life's better for them for them i see, they ignore what they hate and keep what they like, this time i'm going to do it right - see him, in a store walking down the aisle, on his face a great big smile can't be certain move from side to side, celebrating living is his passion and his pride out of control, asleep at the wheel, dave's got a friend and his name is neil [chorus] (manchester, singing beach, 2:00) a beached whale he tries to flip over now, can't, move, sand, what, tries to thrash around while the tide starts to move in, god i hope charlie swims now a red bellies floating around, all the kids are jumping off him on the beach there's a crowd, he doesn't mind in fact i think i see a smile, fatman's playing all the while, thinking of the time when he thought that no one cared, celebrating apathy controlled yet unaware, wondering if people thought that he was dumb and slow, maybe i don't know, but i don't think so, slip n' slide out on the lawn so sad those days are gone, grass stains on all of his clothes, got yelled at by his mom - well i'm fine now you wonder why now i always had my self respect never had a single doubt, never let your words cut through me, through me, it's those words that took his laughter, it's those words that took his pride,
it's those words that left you helpless all alone you wonder why [repeat] [chorus]
it's those words that left you helpless all alone you wonder why [repeat] [chorus]

Take Another Look
you said that i didn't turn out right you said i screwed it up you said that it was all for nothing and that I made mistakes from the start (take, take another look, take another look at me) you hate all the friends around me, but what about all the liars you got, you hate everything about me cause you're perfect and i'm not [chorus] and i can't forget the reasons and i won't forget why i can't bond with you like you said we used to and you ruined a piece of my life, now my memories bleed for remembrance smiles with you are pictures in a book, and i won't wish we were the way were until you take another look

Id Rather
the feelings trapped, wrapped in all you might have said i want to take it back, hide it in out it read a circled voice is something that i cannot stop why have a friend just to cut him down alone on top, never fought, never mean, you never turned away, you never had to see, how can i hear your screams when you're drowning in this silent place, how can i hear your screams when i'm drowning in the same waste, i wipe this window to see the fog it blocks my sight like when i want to believe but can't see all that's right, a circled voice said, nothing, must have spread the word the word where small groups talk, their hearts like rocks, it's all absurd, a chance for change blind by fame it's all the same a chance to let it go and what i think i know, progress isn't stepping forward progress isn't judged by wealth too far to change us all but not too far to save yourself, (no, i think i'd rather go home solitude i want to be all alone) but anyway i'm gonna to wake up do my daily act stick to what i like hold on to what i hold real tight anyway it's not going to matter in the long run yet long enough to frame the picture you show everyone, i don't know what to say, don't know what to do, the only thing i know is that i can't get through to you, well time is on my side, these things that pass me by, i never even noticed, never thought, wondered why

Apology
this time i know what it's all about, apology for something that's no one's fault, you follow something that's all laid out but never break free cause of fear and doubt, in the scene i stand i'm surrounded by a book, a list of things i'm not rebellion models think i should, be what they are, what they want me to be, now what the f*ck is that, would you except me no, can't you see your music's based on rebellion not to follow all the rules but to create like those who did it back then, keep it the same, no progress, ya well we're fine the way it is, if you lock us up, then when will you let us out.

Learning To Listen
don't act up no, don't act up no, each time i'm learning to listen, but what did you want to hear, but what did you want to hear, self minded you deny you fear, how am i back here, (and when i look around i see we're all the same, yet different ways to express how we're feeling, your silence keeps you in line helps you push the blame but my intensity does not deserve any guilt or shame) back and forth i hear yes i do hear all your words but my question is are you listening, i won't let it get to me but who am i trying to kid, what's right is right who said you're wrong i did, how am i back here [repeat], the feeling dwells in deep, the feeling dwells in deep, the feeling dwells in, [chorus] now am i supposed to just let it go continue when i feel it's wrong, i'm standing i'm standing too straight for you, and if you sit back that's fine but why is my word so wrong to you,
learning to listen

Good Luck
I've seen 22 years of life
And I think I basically know what's going on
As far as what life's not about.
There's a cycle I won't be part of,
But it's not because I don't think it's right,
I gotta keep doing what I think I'm here for
And not get buried in someone elses life.
When I was younger I didn't know life meant falling into place,
Taking over a menual position that meant nothing to you in the first place
Getting older confused by friends
They're 22 and almost done,
I must have missed the "Grow Up" sign
I thought we were still having fun
So good luck, with not forgetting who you are even though it seems you have to
Good luck, finding your own way, not settling in where your not happy
Good luck, remembering it's only life
Good luck, not following what you don't believe in
Good luck, seeing many problems are only a big deal if you make them
Everyone I met surounds me every day in my head
It's a part of what makes me who i am,
It's the attitude of my life,
And I turn around and see how some have made me feel so nice to me
Just made me laugh at life when I couldn't deal.
And I wanna be just like that it's what I want to be,
Not held down by others but now I can see
I'll make my life a place I like or I could just sit and blame for things
Not right,
What's to gain spending all of our life putting your friends down again and again
So good luck, being someone who can always help someone out
Good luck, in remembering how much you can affect someone else
Good luck, with not being selfish
Good luck, with not being alone
Good luck, in this world we're all just trying to get along
Good luck, with not getting caught up
Good luck, with not getting stressed
Good luck, with figuring things out
Good luck, with doing your best
Good luck, with not losing yourself
Good luck, for standing for what's right
Good luck, for being happy when you sit to review your life.
And I think I basically know what's going on
As far as what life's not about.
There's a cycle I won't be part of,
But it's not because I don't think it's right,
I gotta keep doing what I think I'm here for
And not get buried in someone elses life.

So good luck, with not forgetting who you are even though it seems you have to
