Maybe I'll start a methlab my friends make a lot selling drugs I feel like shit and I've had too much to drink tonight But pass more cheap wine cause all being sober ever did was give me life and I don't want it Burning holes in my brain, Cocaine Maybe I'll start a bookstore then again dont know shit about books And reading makes my eyes sore and if anybody should Ask me what I'm doing tonight tell them I died yesterday Cause life's a joke and I don't get it Alcohol cheap thrills, snorting pills
2.
Well you know how it goes Oh there's a lot of people talking shit And a lot of people in business clothes But they're all assholes And they'll never know What it's like to be alive Between money, success and being on time Oh how I wanna be an alcoholic Drinking till the day I die Passing out every night For falling over Is how I wanna be remembered Be remembered Well I've heard that You have gotta have plans And you're nothing if you ain't got An expensive tie and expensive pants But fancy restaurants And universities Don't mean much at all to me Because I'm about rocking and living out dreams Oh I'll be having acid for dinner Let all the walls cave into one Let all the werewolves come Everybody watch me get thinner and thinner And waste away, waste away Oh how I wanna be an alcoholic Drink until the day I die Passing out every night For kicking your ass Is how I wanna be remembered be remembered be remembered be remembered

Fuck Cops 02:27
And you know I'm gonna be eating out Of the trash tonight Cause I have 1 million fines to pay I hate cops And if to serve the badge it means to be A fucking asshole Then I guess they're doing great Why cant I have a gun!? And you know I especially hate The one that told me To think about cutting my hair What a Faggot Cause all I can think about is this one girl And If I still went to school You know I'd stick a picture of her In my locker Fuck Cops I hate them I hope they die Fuck Cops I hate them I hope they die And you think they'd have something better to do With their time Than fuck up my life God they suck And last week the bastards They took away my license but Irove to court and I drove home Cause fuck what they say Fuck Cops I hate them I hope they die Fuck Cops I hate them I hope they die

One look in the city streets This is how far we've gone off track It's not such a breath of fresh air When I don't feel sick anymore When daily I see pictures of the sick The starving and the dead And I know that everything's full of shit And I don't know what's right but I know this isn't it When I see this then I know it's not right that it's all wrong This will never save the world One smell of the smoke filled air And I'm puking screaming choking And I'm all torn up inside When I don't wanna wake up anymore Cause it breaks my heart to see what we have done And to see the world outside And I know that everything's full of shit And I don't know what's right but I know this isn't it When I see this then I know it's not right that it's all wrong This will never save the world
5.
I hate amongst many other things Liars, god, spiders, and the pigs They think they can fuck around my life But they'll find out they're wrong So tonight I'm taking my magnum 44 tonight And blowing their brains out Well tonight their brains spread across the floor tonight I'm taking this world I am more than any other thing A liar, thief, cheater, and a prick I think that I know everything But I'll find out I'm wrong So tonight I'm taking my magnum 44 tonight And blowing my brains out Well tonight my brains spread across the floor tonight I'm taking this world I love more than anything at all To steal shit, take mushrooms, pass out on the floor Cause when I do I feel alive I forget I'm heartbroken and I'm dead inside Well tonight I fucking don't care anymore tonight Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Well tonight I fucking don't care anymore tonight Oh I'm seeing things So tonight I'm taking my magnum 44 tonight And blowing my brains out Well tonight I'm taking my magnum 44 tonight And blowing my brains out

Sun Down Now 02:08
It's sun out now and the sky is red It's just me and the hair on my legs Guys I met last weekend colt 45 I'll make a wish first star I see tonight Then pass out under the moonlight Right after I puke my guts onto the ground And looking at the stars Wondering if you are looking up there too Because my heart is somewhere 1 million miles away And I can't wait to see you again All night I dream of you and me Making out wherever we wanna Cause that's where I wanna be It's morning now got a gun to my head Fuck this shit I'd rather be dead Being alone kinda sucks and I'm not a fan And looking at the stars Wondering if you are looking up there too Because my heart is somewhere 1 million miles away And I can't wait to see you again And looking at the stars Wondering if you are looking up there too Because my heart is somewhere 1 million miles away And I can't wait to see you again I can't wait to see you again

Not quite sure what it all means But still somehow clear to me Scream out into the night Coarse my throat just one last time Fingers bleed, blood upon the frets Pass the whiskey to the left No place but here to me Well this is it for me My heart broken once or twice But everything will be alright Bring me bread and lemonade And you know I'll be okay Wherever we end up You new boyfriend can still get fucked Sometimes it hurts to be alive But I'll just get by It's not just a waste of time But a few good scars And a few good memories I'll do whatever I want Fuck the flag and fuck the cops Cause this is how I'm gonna live Not anything could stop us now Not anyone could bring us down United through our beliefs This is solidarity I'll wave my black flag Across the burning sand Across the frozen sea Because this is what I believe It's not just a waste of time But a few good scars And a few good memories I'll do whatever I want Fuck the flag and fuck the cops Cause this is how I'm gonna live

Sometimes 02:05
I miss my friend Alice cause now she's dead Ok she was my cat but that doesn't make her any less dead I wonder what she's doing right now Hopefully playin in grassy meadow with juicy mice to eat I miss my friend Remy he lives in Perth now. And ok he has ADD doesn't make him any less of a friend I wonder what he's doing right now Hopefully skating and talking at unbelievable speeds But oh deep down, I know he's not doing that Sometimes I wish that I could, I wish I could I miss my girlfriend Ella cause she's not mine now Ok I ended it but that didn't make it any less hard I wonder what she's doing right now Hopefully thinking of me the times we shared and how I love her But oh deep down, I know she's not doing that And sometimes I wish that I could, wish that I could Go But oh deep down, I know their not doing that Sometimes I wish that I could, wish I could go Wish I could go, wish I could go Back
9.
Today might be the day I die Shot dead across the street Left to rot and rest in a lonely piece Swear my life on liberty One anthem strong throughout my heart Dance and scream yell till my teardrops stop Bound by all that I know My little ideals and goals The world is mine to hold Fear is what holds us back Today might be the day I die And I'm sitting on my ass Watching idle as days drift pass So on my bike I'll ride away Out onto the night And onto the sunrise Bound by that all that I know My little ideals and goals The world is mine to hold Oh fear's what holds us back

Untitled 02:24
I'm wondering what its like On the other side Cause I'm pretty sure that I'm ready to die I'm telling my boss shes a bitch And I'm upper cutting ex-girlfriends And setting wrongs right Well tonight were going drink driving On the wrong side of the road Cause I'm pretty sure that I'm ready to quit And I'm ready to spend all eternity In the fiery depths of hell If they exist Here is to fucking up and knowing were all full of shit The scientists, the teachers, and the cops It's the kind of night to die When there's no purpose nothing matters at all I'm picking out some dark clothes And heading into the night When the clock strikes 12 Going looking around in your backyard Looking for stuff that I can sell Well tonight I'm reading up In all sorts of forbidden books Looking up plans of how to make bombs I'm talking about total genocide Of the liars and the fakers Starting with God Here is to fucking up and knowing everything its wrong Newspapers, television, and cops It's the kind of night to die When there's no purpose nothing matters at all When there's no purpose nothing matters at all
11.
All my friends are dropouts And all my friends are drug addicts And all our days are spent skating and bumming cigarettes We were out shoplifting for most of yesterday I guess that makes us kleptomaniacs But what the fuck does that mean anyway All my friends look like shit And they always got black eyes And it's fuck jocks and skate or die And I'd rather puke and pass out than get a PHD I'd rather puke than get a PHD And I hope that no one ever gets a real job And No one ever leaves this shitty town And I wish for this shit to last for fucking ever And tonight we're gonna burn the cities down All my friends are getting intoxicated at the bowl And it's Nihilism and alcohol And if to have a good time We can only be fucked up Then I guess we are all fucked up And I hope that no one ever gets a real job And No one ever leaves this shitty town And I wish for this shit to last for fucking ever And tonight we're gonna burn the cities down And tonight we're gonna burn the cities down And tonight we're gonna burn the cities down And tonight we're gonna burn the cities down

about

ASKING FOR IT were a folk punk band from Tasmania, Australia that existed between 2006 and 2008. We toured extensively and wonderful shit happened. Most of these songs sound pretty cringy to me now but I remember when they were new and all the beautiful people with who we shared these days. So here’s to Myspace, to Ben and Ethan, to hitch hiking with real maps, to our Nokia 3310s, to the nights on acid, to all the stores we robbed, to the ditches we slept in, and to every beautiful little moment of truth and simplicity. In regards to the “faggot” line in Fuck Cops and “upper cutting ex-girlfriends” in Untitled, I wrote these songs during 2007 as an 18 year old trashbag living in bumfuck nowhere with a shamefully limited worldview and 100% blind to their problematic nature at the time. The rest of the album, I’ll gladly still die by.

But this is all ancient history now isn't it.
