LYRICS:

​

Nuclear Reaction Boy 

 

I’m sitting alone in my bedroom filled with nothing to the brim 

There’s garbage all over the floor and I smell like shit 

I haven’t slept in 3 days and you could probably tell 

Because the dark circles under my eyes are beginning to take over 

 

I’ve finally got a solution that benefits no one 

Say your goodbyes 

 

I’ve got nothing left to do and so I’ll probably blow up 

Like a nuclear reaction inside my head 

And please don’t ask me how I’m doing 

I’ll probably blow up 

 

I’m so sick of staying in

I’ve run out of time to waste 

Because my brain is sitting still collecting dust 

It goes to show what someone will do 

When there’s nothing left to

 

I’ve finally got a solution that benefits no one 

Say your goodbyes 

 

I’ve got nothing left to do and so I’ll probably blow up 

Like a nuclear reaction inside my head 

And please don’t ask me how I’m doing 

I’ll probably blow up 

 

Great Expectations 

 

Caution and self control thrown to the wind 

Sometimes it’s hard to get up when you just can’t win 

So go and light that fuse 

Burn up and in and out 

And forget all your troubles rest your weary eyes 

And ignore that gnawing feeling building up inside your mind 

 

Don’t go looking for me 

Because I won’t hang around 

You know where I am 

And I wonder if anyone still cares

And I wonder if you’re still there

 

I’ve got great expectations coming from the 

Great expectations pressing on me 

Great expectations coming from the top 

 

Driving around town with our windows down 

With the wind blowing through your hair 

As we blow another red light I see a reason to exist is evading me 

But you’re confident I’m still into you 

 

Don’t go looking for me 

Because I won’t hang around 

You know where I am 

And I wonder if anyone still cares

And I wonder if you’re still there

 

I’ve got great expectations coming from the 

Great expectations pressing on me 

Great expectations coming from the top 

 

Great expectations 

Great expectations 

Coming from the top 

 

I’ve got great expectations coming from the 

Great expectations pressing on me 

Great expectations coming from the top 

 

Sell out 

 

Well I know you can't work in fast food all your life 

But don't sign that paper tonight 

She said "But it's too late"

Then, I don't remember what I read

I don't remember what they said

I guess it doesn't matter

Guess it doesn't matter anymore

'Cause you're gonna go to the record store 

You're gonna give 'em all your money 

Radio plays what they want you to hear 

They tell me it's cool, I just don't believe it

Sell out, with me, oh yea

Sell out, with me tonight 

The record company's gonna give me lots of money and 

Everything's gonna be alright 

No more flipping burgers putting on my silly hat, you know 

I don't want that no more

And I didn't ask when we'd get paid

I quit my day job anyway

I guess it doesn't matter

Guess it doesn't matter anymore 

'Cause you're gonna go to the record store

You're gonna give 'em all your money 

Radio plays what they want you to hear

Tell me it's cool, I just don't believe it 

Sell out, with me, oh yea 

Sell out with me tonight

The record company's gonna give me lots of money 

And everything's gonna be

And I don't think it'll be so bad 

And I know it won't be so bad 

'Cause the man said "That's the way it is" 

And the man said "It don't get better than this" 

No, no, no 

So I signed on to the record company 

They say they're gonna give me lot's of money

If I play what they want you to hear 

Tell me it's cool, and I'll sure believe it

Sell out, with me, oh yea 

Sell out with me tonight

The record company's gonna give me lots of money 

And everything's gonna be alright

Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

The record company's gonna make everything alright

"Baby, don't you sign that paper tonight" she said

"But I can't work in fast food all my life"

 

What It Is 

 

It’s been three weeks since we’ve last talked 

But who’s counting anyways 

Please tell me what I did wrong 

Because I’m clueless to the point of ignorance 

 

I don’t know 

I should know 

I don’t know 

 

All I know is that I don’t know nothing 

Leave me alone because I wasn’t paying attention 

And forgive me for not giving a shit 

I honestly don’t even know 

What it is 

 

(Let’s go)

 

You know I never meant to hurt you 

If this is a vice than I wish no virtue 

Please give me just one more chance 

I’m tired of feeling sorry for myself 

 

I don’t know 

I should know 

I don’t know 

 

All I know is that I don’t know nothing 

Leave me alone because I wasn’t paying attention 

And forgive me for not giving a shit 

I honestly don’t even know 

What it is
