LYRICS

"Is This Thing On?"

When all the things that you've been thinking
has you so confused and so unglued
your head is spinning

well we've all felt the same inside
I've been on that ledge countless times
and I know what that feels like

your on your own can't make it through this world all alone
is this thing on at all?
your on your own can't make it through this world all alone
is this thing on at all?

when all your friends don't have the answers
and you're so convinced that inch by inch
they've turned to strangers

we've all seen the different sides
no one hears even though you've talked all night
and I know what you feel like

your on your own can't make it through this world all alone
is this thing on at all?
your on your own can't make it through this world all alone
is this thing on at all?
your on your own can't make it through this world all alone
is this thing on at, this thing on at all?

can we really measure if we're any better
than that skyline that goes on and on forever on and on?

your on your own can't make it through this world all alone
is this thing on at all?
your on your own can't make it through this world all alone
is this thing on at all?
your on your own can't make it through this world all alone
is this thing on

and a race against time i know what that feels like
but your on your own now
is this thing on

it's the countless times that you talked all night
but your on your own now
is this thing on at all?

your on your own can't make it through this world all alone
is this thing on at, this thing on at all?

your on your own can't make it through this world all alone
oh yeah, yeah. YEAH!

	i don't think it's about your friends being shit either, it's just they don't understand you, it's about thinking you're alone

No Picture Chris Rhythm Player	#2 by Chris Marcoux at Jan 6, 1979 at 2:55 PM EST
	im seeing less than jake in concert in august.....its gonna be rad as hell....this song pretty much is about how your friends suck and they never have the answers to your problems. this is what makes less than jake so awesome, there ability to connect and relate to their fans. they pretty much know that everybody has been through this experience or something like it. LTJ all the way

No Picture chris Average	#3 by chris ovari at Aug 7, 1992 at 9:21 PM EST
	I think ScallyWag has missed the point, its not about ur friends being shit, cuz they dont understand. I think its jus about being at a point where no one can understand, which jus makes u feel lonely, like no1's listening.

No Picture kyle Professional	#4 by kyle mcdonough at Jun 30, 2000 at 5:55 PM EST
