(2012) Josh didn't know just what he was gonna do He was on a plane to Spain with no place to stay But when he got there he found some anarchists They took him to a squat and they fed him lots to eat They fed him lots of drugs, they fed him lots of booze He got so fucking fucked up So one thing that I've learned: You need not worry about Josh He always figures it out Figures it out without a doubt He always figures it out Oh Josh knows how to have fun Better than anyone He finds all the coolest shit to do

Bleedin' Out 01:41
(2012) I want to bleed out today Take this knife And cut open my veins Watch the blood spill out Down into the drain To cure me of this unbearable pain And I want to bleed out today Take this gun and shoot out my brain Watch the blood spill out Down onto the floor And when the brains come out My pain will be no more So I want to bleed out today Take this knife And cut open my veins and watch the blood spill out Down into the drain To cure me of this unbearable pain
