Sometimes 03:14
Sometimes I like to stay home, most days I’ll say I’m fine But really I just feel alone, and choose to ignore the signs I see my friends and family, passing me by miles at a time They tell me I should be more manly, and try to reclaim what’s mine But sometimes, but sometimes, I’ll sing this song I wish that you would sing along, But I’ve been trying for so long, and still you won't admit you're wrong The lessons I learned as I grew up, have stuck with me all my life To always make time for feelings to develop, and to not always live in strife But most days that seems a little hard to do, especially when I hate you So I’ll find better ways for myself to get through, and listen to goodbye lulu But sometimes, but sometimes, I’ll sing this song I wish that you would sing along, But I’ve been trying for so long, and still you won't admit you're wrong

Fly Away 03:04
These bones of mine, well they ache all the time, and my muscles are so weak from the gravity of life pulling me down all the time, I need to find a way out and these shoulders of mine, they bear the weight of waiting for the pieces to fall in place. And this heart is filled with fear of matching the currents pace. And I know one day, these legs will stop moving, stop exerting the strength I need, to get back to you, to tell me it aint true so I'll sit here forever and wait for you to slow down. and I will make a fool of myself and you will fly away, and you will fly away, you'll fly away while these power structures keep building up, I'm digging down creating a grave for them to sleep, where they can wear their crowns, I'm so sick and tired of hearing the same thing. that they're living like kings, while we perish under their feet. crushing us into thin sheets of people who once were the power of this country. so I'll sit here forever and wait for you to slow down. and I will make a fool of myself and you will fly away, and you will fly away, you'll fly away

Emo Song 02:30
​Life sucks and I know it so I'll smoke a few cigarettes hopefully by the time I'm done, I won't be so depressed Cause maybe I'm wrong and nothing will take the pain away I went to school, and listened patiently to all the words they had to say But that still couldn't keep all these horrid thoughts at bay I learned all I could but I'm still in the same old fucking place So maybe college was the wrong decision and I should find another way, because nothing else has offered me a better means of escape. And maybe you were right and I should just let it go, perhaps then all of these thoughts I have will freeze just like the snow But at the end of the road, when all is said and done, will I be happy just like you and will I get to have some fun? Well I don't know, but the only thing that I feel could be true, is maybe life will get better if its my head that I shoot And should I just give up if there's nothing I can do? Cause I don't think that I'll ever see a perfect world, just like you There's killers wearing badges, and they’re killing just for fun, living their lives by the crooked nozzles of their fucking guns Can I say I've had enough and just turn my head away, from all the evil things that I've been forced to set eyes on today Or maybe that won't change a good god damn fucking thing, so all that's left for me is the bullshit that the words I sing will bring. You could try to scream at me, try to tell me that I’m free, but I won’t be fooled when I see the shackles all around me And my shitty life has become such a perfect fucking mess, and all I know these days are words like oppressed and stress So aim your gun at me and show me the meaning of death, and I promise you I will smile as I take my final breath. ​

Letting Go 03:41
​Well most nights, I can’t sleep until that sun comes up Most relationships I can’t complete because my insecurities erupt You can try to teach me better, or offer my heart some shelter But you won’t be able to save me, and you will fail to the nth degree When I was young and brave, I used to believe that it was me who’d save The world and all it’s people, but they cling too tightly to their steeples So I’m letting go, there’s no more effort for me to show I used to search far and wide for the tools I need to survive And Yeah life is great at times, and I’d love to be free But all I’ve found in this world is fucking pain and agony And sure I can hold my friends close or just take a breath, But all I’ll find are dead ends so I’ll drink myself to death. Ask me and I’ll tell you it don’t make sense, this big monster of a machine, that they call government Or how about the people of this land, bowing and following its every command Good people of the world you must rise, use your own judgement You weren’t born with these chains, they forced them into your brains Stand with me and we’ll sing of the better world their demise will bring So I’m letting go, there’s no more effort for me to show I used to search far and wide for the tools I need to get by And Yeah life is great at times, and I’d love to be free But all I’ve found in this world is fucking pain and agony And sure I can hold my friends close or just take a breath, But all I’ll find are dead ends so I’ll drink myself to death.

Nerd Anthem 02:47
​More and more, I hear the words Hang in there, raise that chin And more and more, I see the nerds Finding it unfair, that they should be trapped within This inescapable sense of fear, let these words ring loud and clear Because we’re gonna find a way out of here Day by day, I see and feel the rage In myself and others who are locked in this cage You don’t have to let world tell you what to do They don’t know how you feel, they’ve never been inside your shoes A missing key ain’t synonymous with not being free Let’s break out and show the world all that we can be So bit by bit, we’re getting tired of this shit The names are getting old, and our tempers are about to slip It’s not like we have had to deal with this since the day we were born It’s not like with each taunt and joke, our hearts are torn Well inch by inch, we get closer to your doors One day we will be mopping your blood off these floors And you will regret all the pain that you so selfishly caused But I won’t feel bad, watching you writhe, and my heart so paused Don’t let them tell you that this is just another stupid fucking tantrum Stare them right in their eyes and shout no this is our nerd anthem

Chords: C G Am F I was born with white Privilege So I don't know what I'm talking about When I speak about social injustice And all I ever do is write a fucking Facebook post about how I feel And these are the cynical years Where I think that the world revolves around what I have to say What the fuck do I have to say for myself When I don't know what I'm talking about I was born in a bubble Of wealth and success Everything laid out for The rest of my life But instead I said fuck all of that I’d rather be my own self made fuckin’ man My cynical years will be the end of me The world will soon cease to revolve and what the fuck will I say for myself I still won’t know what I’m talking about I was born with some income That could be disposed of And never thought of Getting a job And though hard times have fallen On me and my family I still have the privilege to Keep me afloat And these are the cynical years Where I think that the world revolves around what I have to say What the fuck do I have to say for myself When I don't know what I'm talking about One day I'll leave this bubble And see the real world Find out what I'm Capable of It won't be too much Thanks to white ignorance Just call me another Millennial My cynical years will be the end of me The world will soon cease to revolve and what the fuck will I say for myself I still won’t know what I’m talking about

Chords: C F Am G From Rodney to Michael Brown To every cop in every town That assumes they wear the crown All you do is get us down Oppress us repress us degrade us and shame us beat us defeat us misuse us mistreat us We stay at the bottom when we should be equals We should be lawless All government is evil Time to make us legal time to make us free time to abolish government Let’s bring in Anarchy! We don’t need no forties we don’t need no weed but don’t worry about that we can still party Let’s drink all their whisky and smoke all their weed forget all about that American Greed Let’s say what we do is anarchy Let’s say what we do is living free From the East to the West Coast We are all beat down made to think we can be governed made to think we need a crown indoctrinate us with messages of evil Facist Capitalist and no such thing as Anarchist We’re thrown into the pits of money and greed Let’s climb our way out so we can be freed Time to live together in peaceful harmony time for equality time for Anarchy We don’t need no forties we don’t need no weed but don’t worry about that we can still party Let’s drink all their whisky and smoke all their weed forget all about that American Greed Let’s say what we do is anarchy Let’s say what we do is living free
8.
Chords: Am F C G Life is a bitch You must be related Look at yourself And what you've created You made a cynical teen Filled with anger and fear And hatred and doubt And slit wrists and tears And so I write a song Just to say fuck you Fuck all of everything You will ever do And you’re only one of the many who broke me one of the many who will fucking kill me You said don't take the lords name in vain But the lords blood courses through my veins This whiskey and weed will steal all my pain And keep me from going in fucking sane Everyone loves you but I fucking don’t You’re ignorant and arrogant and so full of shit So don’t expect me to give you affection All you get is my entire rejection And you’re only one of the many who broke me one of the many who will fucking kill me Your veins course with Vicodin and vvyanse and no hope in life you have no fucking chance All of these drugs will keep you in a trance You’re fucking up your life fast in advance and you’re only one of the many who broke me one of the many who will fucking kill me Every one of you destroyed my life Bring my wrists an inch closer to a knife You can not save me you can not change me You can only continue to destroy me

Chords: (Usually 4th Capo) Bm G D A So on that first day God created light But my dear lord that sun shone too bright And after many of his lonely blinding days God created dark stormy nights And on that second day God made the lands green They stretched as far and wide as he had ever seen All of it surrounded him he did not know what to do So God decided to create marijuana too On day three god sparked a blunt And he realized he was a bit behind So in his daze God got overwhelmed And then he accidentally created stress On day four God wanted company So he created some friends Adam and Eve they had one track minds And God said that was good His new friends got stressed and depressed On day five they were looking for more So they ditched him, they left God behind In search of real intellect On day six, God got a little mad And then he brought some evil to this world He brought in weapons war and anger and fear To try and get back at his friends On day 7 he divided us with nations He gave us our greed and then he made corporations He made us ignorant to race creed and sex He made sure to destroy his creations God realized everything he did He felt all of his regret So he took his newly made weapons And put a fucking gun to his head And now god is dead God is dead God is dead He put a fucking gun to his head.

Chords: Well, one of the lyrics literally tells you but its C Am F G Fuck the police fuck the social structures that prey on the lower class Fuck the bigots fuck the racists the sexist xenophobes but not literally cause do we really want them to breed? Fuck the hate fuck the anger fuck the irony of this hateful song while I preach peace sorry this is irrelevant I can’t write about your struggle or your strife I’m just a young kid who has a pretty decent life An upper crust punk drinking cheap whisky all night I go to work 30 hours a week and maybe life can get pretty bleak but i still have money for car insurance alcohol and weed I have a handful of friends and a nice little house Don’t argue with the cops I’m a tiny little church mouse But I didn’t go to Catholic school so I wasn’t sexually oppressed I’ll masturbate after this Fuck everything about who i am This was not the life I had planned same goes to my mother who wanted more from me my father doesn’t seem to care too much about where I end up but he’s a slut left my family for another gal I bury my emotions like a dog with a bone I eat them up when I’m alone To shit them out in 6 to 8 hours then I lay in my bed with a flask in my hand liquor store supplies i demand to fill up my veins with it a cliche angsty punk in his basement screaming with a guitar venting about nonsense when’s the last time that I had sex? The cops have yet to arrest me The Catholic priests never molested me Never oppressed so I never understand The anger the hate and the fear of the many White privilege? No thanks I’ve had plenty I’d prefer equality but that’s an easy sentence to say unless you’re black, trans or gay Then people say you’re just complaining Then say that racism doesn’t exist it’s not that bad you’re getting pissed about shit that doesn’t matter We know it does and people hate change anything new to them seems strange sorry that we can’t rise up but let’s not make this political punk like that’s stereotypical is this really even punk? this song is C Am F G is it folk punk to you it’s folk punk to me but i’m really just droning on. I'm an anarchist so i don't like structure No chorus no verse I really have fucked this up from what I planned what I thought I would do Does this shit seem pointless to you? Me too. I can’t write about your struggle or your strife I’m just a young kid who has a pretty decent life An upper crust punk drinking cheap whisky all night I go to work 30 hours a week and maybe life can get pretty bleak but i still have money for car insurance alcohol and weed I have a handful of friends and a nice little house Don’t argue with the cops I’m a tiny little church mouse But I didn’t go to Catholic school so I wasn’t sexually oppressed I’ll masturbate after this Cause I’m a tiny little church mouse But I didn’t go to Catholic school so I wasn’t sexually oppressed I know that I’m gonna masturbate after this Gonna masturbate after this!

about

This album took a damn long time to make. Bambi lives in Ontario and Meadow lives in California. 1941 miles away. 3123 kilometers away. That;s why it's called 1941/3123. It's difficult to put together an album while so far away. Also, work and social activities make it difficult to stay motivated. However, we finally pulled together!

This is big for us. We both love writing and singing and releasing it to the world is very meaningful to us. We've often talked about hoping for just one person to be inspired by our music.

Enjoy the music and share it with your friends!
