Take It Away

Music & Lyrics by F.O.C.U.S.

 

I heard a funny thing today

they're gonna take it all away

now how i act will be

a fucked up reflection of that

I failed another class today

I'll play my music anyway

just try and stop me

and you'll find your way to the door

 

I've gone through the past

here's to tomorrow

 

Don't let them take it away

 

I got fucked up again today

why do I need this get away

must be my problems

that make me drift away

I fucked myself again today

why do I need this gross display

is it frustration

that makes me feel this way

 

I've gone through the past

here's to tomorrow

 

what can I find

to justify

this mal-informed justice

farse just to spend another day without

Fight Back

Music & Lyrics by F.O.C.U.S.

 

So you've gone and fought against the powers

and who did lose

well you ask me what the hell would I have done

if I was in your shoes

everything they're tellin' me is lies

what is the truth

anything becomes a hard decision

what should i choose

 

Fight back

 

now they are closely watching everything

everything you do

but they don't know you're plans of revolution

what if they knew

now if they learned you had your own opinions

they'd surely kill you

and if they found the ones who freed us from our chains

they'd erase them too

 

don't let them push you around

like they've been doin' for a million times before

or you'll end up like they want you to

 

confusion's setting in again

but you know you'll never win

against a hierarchy that you cannot see

another person's bad advice

strives to ruin my whole life

what can i do to show my spite

Set It Free

Music & Lyrics by F.O.C.U.S.

 

I gave up happiness today

they say if it was ment to be

you'll be back to me

but I don't trust my destiny

so I will try my best

to make things go my way

 

Set it free

if it comes back

it's ment to be

i don't believe that

I gotta find a way

to change my destiny

to a better day

maybe tomorrow

 

if things work out a certain way

will I be happy

and enjoy the little things

but I know that my luck won't change

I'm doomed to live

a life hindered by destiny

Crackhead Steve

Music & Lyrics by F.O.C.U.S.

 

Is this just artificial fun

when I can't find anyone

or find something to do

maybe I'll tag along with you

and would it be o.k.

would you tell me to go away

how would it turn out in the end

could I just be your pitty friend

 

just like you

we are all the same

I feel your pain

what to do

when society

tells us we're not good enough

 

over the edge

you're pushing me

but some day

you'll find out what is real

 

crackhead steve there'll always be

a place in my mind

crackhead steve there'll always be

a place for me

 

I'm taking everything I've shoved down in my head

and I must tell you I haven't heard a word you said

as long as you don't bother me

I don't care what you do

but I do realize I'm just like you

 

crackhead steve there'll always be

a place in my mind

crackhead steve there'll always be

a place you can't find

 

crackhead steve there'll always be

a place for me

 

fuck you

and i wish you were dead

BLP

Music & Lyrics by F.O.C.U.S.

 

Fuck with us go nowhere

at least that's how it was

before we all moved away

now we all live somewhere else

but we'll be back vacation time

try not to miss us too much

 

The blp

Don't fuck with me

 

Can you carry on the tourch

can you keep the flame lit

even though the fire might scortch

but your memory will live on

remember back to a time

when your life was that much more fun

Eggs Are Good

Music & Lyrics by F.O.C.U.S.

 

Another day at school wasting away

another day at work with little pay

another breakfast missed

another sunday dissed

don't let it all go by

a painful hunger sigh

 

Don't let the time fly by

the feeling in your mind

breakfast platter

eggs are good

don't let it all go by

eggs are good

the feeling in your mind

eggs are good

Happy Ska Song

Music & Lyrics by F.O.C.U.S.

 

The opportunities that we miss everyday

make our reality slip slowly far away

but if I tell myself that things will be o.k.

will it make everytime turn back to better days

 

pick it up pick it up

you talk about stupid

i'll give you reason

to think a whole new way

 

If I wait another day

will I find another way

to be stupid too much of the same

and if I waste more time away

will I find a better way

to reduce this happy ska song

 

the doctor said again a crazy thing today

I'm gonna live again for another day

but if I had to spend my time making amends

and telling lies then I aint going out like that

 

Lbut if I find away to turn to yesterday

and live again a slightly better way

if you talk about stupid your problems

will just slowly fade away

I Love The '80s

Music & Lyrics by F.O.C.U.S.

 

I remember back in the day

hanging out drinking kool-aide

watching voltron on t.v.

go out and watch a movie

see gizmo on the screen

but the gremlins made me poop in my pants

go to school make finger paintings for my mom

and watch a bully rip them up

couldn't stay up past 8 o'clock

that was the rules

but i knew a bunch of cool kids who could

 

I love the '80s

 

I remember back in the day

we'd ride our bikes

and my shoe laces get caught in the spokes

bon jovi was the coolest band I've ever heard

but the cars were too fuckin' punk for me

I'd get a happy meal

play with it's toy

later the wheel would break right off

now looking back I think to myself

the '80s really sucked

 

We had G.I Joe, Transformer and Thundercats

Mr. Bill, Mario Brothers, The Noid

Ronald Ragen was the president,

Chuckie cheese and Ed Mc Mann

Mr. T, MTV and Ratt

Unsure

Music & Lyrics by F.O.C.U.S.

 

It's been so long

since I've had love

in my life

and you don't know

how good it feels

to have you

but I don't know

how you feel about me

so I'll have to wait around

to find find out and see

 

I know

you are there for me

 

I'm taking everything

you've thrown upon my back

and I must tell you

I'm never coming back

show me a sign

tell me that you're in love

tell me you're mine

tell me you're mine

 

It's been three months

since you took on

took on me

and I don't know

what point of view

to believe

now we don't know

what we want

this to be

but it sucks to wait

as long as I have

to find out and see

to find out and see

F.o.c.u.s.

Music & Lyrics by F.O.C.U.S.

 

Twisted all my words around

and mangled them until the point was gone

forced on me your politices minus music

until the fun way gone

told lies to everyone concerning us

until their trust was gone

but as I stand tall today

i will not quit until you're fuckin' gone, gone

 

gone ruined opportunities

by you made it confirmed our futures gone

further attempts by us just proved futile

and stupid in the long

and soon we learned never again

would our friendship be quite as strong

but as I stand tall today

i will not quit until you're fuckin' gone, gone

PDJ

Music & Lyrics by F.O.C.U.S.

 

not concerned with being cool

there's really nothing I can do

and when it comes to looking good

I got screwed

 

Take my pride

take my inner dignity

what comes to mind

when you see me with your eyes

take my life

'cuz you know it's too late for me

it makes you happy to put me down

 

so you think that life is paved

for you and your friends

you don't know what life is like

you'll find out in the end

 

no one's concerned with being cool

it's the work that you put in

and when you find yourself in doubt

you're the one to blame

 

I look into your eyes

and much too my surprise

you're almost human

you're almost like me

a rally of your peers

humanity disappears

you're reduced

to mob mentality

 

you keep doubting yourself

you're putting yourself away

Girlfriend

Music & Lyrics by F.O.C.U.S.

 

No one ever told me of the facts of life

no one ever told me i'd get old

no one ever told me 'bout this thing called loneliness

no one ever told me i'd be alone

 

everyone is telling me to get a life

tellin' me to lower my standards down

but if I ever took this great advice

would i be happy with who i found

 

when I'm alone

I don't know

I don't know

 

when I'm alone

you can tell me that I'm fuckin' useless.

Brown Haired Girl

Music & Lyrics by F.O.C.U.S.

 

I'm taking ridalin to

to keep my 50 feet from you

just like the judge ordered me to

Another choice encounter

and I think that I will go insane

But I get caught looking at you

yeah, I get caught looking at you

 

My brown haired girl

please come with me

and tell me thar you want me

My brown haired girl

please talk to me

and tell me that you need me

 

Is it just my delusions

that tell me you might like me too

Iguess I'll find someone like you

or is it my confession

that misinterprets lengthy glance

So I get caught looking at you

yeah I get caught looking at you

Going Nowhere

Music & Lyrics by F.O.C.U.S.

 

I ran away today

I'm on my way to nowhere yeah

I said goodbye today

to everyone who ever cared

I threw my life away

my life is floating in the trash

invade my everyday...

 

Living in the past

your going nowhere fast

the person I once knew

a memory of you

it will never be the same

I'll play the same way

living in the past

you're going nowhere
