• I Wouldn't Want To Live In A World Without Grudges / All The World Is A Stage (Dive)
• Just The Best Party

Quiet desperation ain't my goddamn scene
I don't know if you can follow me
But you bought a ticket so I guess we're gonna see
My friends!
To the wine and to the stage!
If you squander your precious beautiful days
That makes you a sucker
You don't want to be a sucker do you?
To the quitters and the complainers
If we never meet again
Remember when –-

All the world was a stage dive
All the world loved a clown
Knowing how the clown hated them
And all the clowns in the house
Stared up at the stage
They used to get so mad
The had such a good thing that day
But at the last minute it just sort of went bad
They lost their nerve
They just went straight
They didn't have the balls to hold it down and
They brought everybody else right down with them
While clowns must stand

So welcome
Welcome to the scene!
You've all got to come out and have a drink with me. I'll buy round one
You buy round two
You buy round three
We'll make a toast to absent friends
And better days
To remembering and being remembered as brave
And not as a bunch of whining jerks
To the quitters and the complainers
If we never meet again remember this –-

All the world is a stage dive
All the world loves a clown
You know that clowns hate them and
How hard it is to get a clown out of the house
And up on the stage
But tonight you've come, you're here, I'm so glad
Don't forget how it feels kids and don't crap out

Don't lose your nerve
Do not go straight
You must testify or
I'm going to come to your house to
Punch you in the mouth
‘cause clowns must stand
When a clown goes straight all clowns are hurt.
When a clown abandons his passion
All his friends end up with egg on the face
Clowns must stand

What did I say? Clowns must stand
