"They're New Mexico ants. Which means they are probably illegal ants." June 5, 2013

Song #155: Died a Jew- Say Anything
From the album In Defense of the Genre, released October 23, 2007
"You hate the shade of my face from my father's share crops/ my people were slaves before yours invented hip-hop/ apologize but I'm in on the joke/ another brother to scoff at the dancing patterns of white folk/ I think I'm fine the way I am/ and yes I chase my milk with ham/ I think I'm fine the way I am/ Jesus died a jew/ pupils painted blue/ you haters know it's true/ Jesus died a jew/ you say you hate the breath of my nose for my daddy's ear locks/ shunned before you pieced it and sold it and called it punk rock/ apologize for the murder of god/ like Judas the traitor we are both favored and deeply flawed"

"Crap Christ" April 12, 2013

From the album Baseball, released 2001
"My friends are/ just neighbors/ that steal from me when I'm not home/ I am/ so damn trusting/ I did not see their malice/ in this blackened wonderland/ I am the darkened Alice/ sometimes I can't fathom/ why everyone's so two-faced/ so I'll just/ backstab them/ to get them back in their place...
/I'm the ball/ they're battered/ they're climbing social ladders/ I'm left/ at the bottom"

From the album Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace, released June 17, 2008
"Show me how to lie/ you're getting better all the time/ and turning all against the one/ is an art that's hard to teach/ another clever word sets off an unsuspecting herd/ and as you step back in the line/ a mob jumps to their feet/ now dance fucker dance/ man he never had a chance/ and no one even knew/ it was really only you"

From the album Pretty. Odd., released March 21, 2008
"We were holding hands walking through the street/ it's fine with me/ I'm just taking in the scenery...
/take a chance/ take your shoes off/ dance in the rain/ I was splashing around/ spreading the news all over town/ I'm not complaining that it's raining/ I'm just saying that I like it a lot/ more than you think"
Note on day:
Best day of my life.
