Narcissist 04:19

You change your face fast as a ticking clock Always the victim, victim, victim Your original personality was hijacked Your body should always be outlined in chalk Living fiction, fiction, fiction Now I don't regret taking your girl from behind... your back Pre-Chorus: But since you haven't lived and learned You're only living to forget Don't care much about you anymore You're getting what you should get Because you are a... Chorus: Narcissist, the whole world revolves around a Narcissist, cuz no one wants to be near a Narcissist, don't make sense to me how a Narcissist don't get tired of staring in the mirror Like it's your first day or elementary You complain, complain, complain Nothing is ever your fault Got as many exes as there have been centuries Brain's untamed, untamed Always surprised when you get a negative result Pre-Chorus Chorus/SOLO I love watching you crumble, understand that you deserve to hurt Cuz you've injured too many hearts, pull your ego down to earth Making love like its 1-2-3, easy as ABC, simple as pies So up your own ass, I'd say "Go fuck yourself" but you've already taken my advice Since you haven't lived and learned You're only living to forget You haven't lived and you haven't learned, you're living to forget You're living in regret... cuz you're a Chorus x2 Cuz you're a narcissist

Longer Blacker Bigger 04:04

It's been growing since the last album Used to be as short as a Dobermann's Now like a tall wall without a ladder All these ladies can't get over it It's longer blacker bigger Longer blacker bigger Everyone wants to stroke it I'm constantly stopped when I get around Gotta take the good with the bad I guess Cuz I've grown and it's all better now My hair's longer blacker bigger (what did you think I was talking 'bout?) Longer blacker bigger (why is everybody walking out?) Longer blacker bigger (what did you think I was referring to?) My hair's longer blacker bigger (oh goes to show what you're into) So apologies if it's unruly But I can't shrink it down backwards Guess you'll have to accept my BBC *ahem* my big black curls Longer blacker bigger (no need to be upset by it's) Longer blacker bigger (I'll explain so you get why it's) Longer blacker bigger (I don't have no razor, no cutter) Longer blacker bigger (oh would you get your mind out of the gutter)

Lost in Boston 04:02
lyrics

Red Sox caps abound In my New England town City of opportunity Future is planned to the T Here with all my friends Never wanna see it end Oh yeah college is fun But what about when it’s done? When all my friends are gone I’ll be Lost in Boston (lost in Boston) When everybody leaves I’ll be Lost in Boston (lost in Boston) Off on my own and Often my own head Starts to attack me I don’t want to be... Championship rings No such thing as spring North End Italian eateries, a Dessert shop and pizzeria Go-to spots for us After a Saturday night rush We’re halfway through these days Then different journeys, separate ways When all my friends are gone I’ll be Lost in Boston (lost in Boston) When everybody leaves I’ll be Lost in Boston (lost in Boston) Off on my own and Often my own head Starts to attack me I don’t want to be... I’ve made so many wonderful connections By living in this state of bliss They were so easy to make contact with Which means they’ll still be so hard not to miss SOLO When all my friends are gone I’ll be Lost in Boston (lost in Boston) When everybody leaves I’ll be Lost in Boston (lost in Boston) Off on my own and Often my own head Starts to attack me I don’t want to be Lost in Boston x8

Dynamic 05:20

I'm always new Never old If you were copper I'd be gold Drink lotsa caffeine Never get stalled Well-oiled machine Bouncing off the walls When I get real dangerous Try not to be near me I'm too dynamic for you When I get real dangerous Try not to be near me I'm too dynamic for you Fear me Guaranteed speed Got lotsa energy I'm most likely to exceed The power that's inside of me My antics I got Dynamic You're not The energy literally runs through my blood Thousand miles per hour just like it should When I get real dangerous Try not to be near me I'm too dynamic for you When I get real dangerous Try not to be near me I'm too dynamic for you Fear me Normal guys like you Come maybe third in a race I'm so fast I come in first And second place People call me weird I don't think they see Dynamic's the right word I'm not crazy

Still Asleep 03:33
lyrics

Tonight's the night, party's gonna be a big one When the fire retires everyone pulls out their big guns Shake a leg, kegs out far as the eye can see "C'mon Con, do a shot! Aww don't be a pansy" I'm afraid if I drink I'll end up sick in the sink Face down, twenty bottles at my feet If I'm still awake I'll end up making mistakes My body up while my mind's still asleep Pour me more, we are getting louder than planned Watch me on the coffee table do a handstand Flipped and fell, hurt like hell, I know my ass'll be Sore in the morning, these drinks burn like gasoline I was afraid if I drank I'd end up sick in the sink But it's alright I just can't stand on my feet I'm still awake, this party is great My brain and body ain't asleep I'm into this whole drinking thing I was thinking things wouldn't go so well Had an inkling things would escape my mind And I'd end up trapped in a dank motel I drank, oh well, my streak is done I lasted 'til I's twenty-one, gee It's longer than I can say for some But I cracked like I was Humpty Dumpty WOO Solo This was the night of my life but something doesn't feel right This party's out-of-body, unlike real life Could be the alcohol after all nothing's as it seems Then I wake up, face covered in sweat, it was all just a big dream Didn't have a drink, stayed home and got 40 winks Face down, both socks stayed on my feet I wasn't awake, the party was fake Turns out after all I was still asleep No alcohol, I was still asleep PM Tylenol and I was asleep

Chorus Not a fan of what’s coming next I rigged my refrigerator So I can freeze myself And just see what happens later Freeze myself, freeze myself, freeze myself, freeze myself Like the key left of Z our political climate has shifted And like the actual climate everything is getting hot Everyone in this kitchen’s getting a little heated I’m hopping into my machine so I do not Time in and of itself is a man-made structure The past, present and future are just made up So if I freeze myself where and when I am right now It’ll cut the moments in between so I don’t have to wait up Chorus I’ll rest my wrist on the butter dish And line up my eye sockets in the icebox Close the door of my compact fridge Fill it with liquid til minutes and time stops I don’t wanna take an eternal nap I just wanna try to live a better second half Freeze myself x7 Freeze myself-self-self

Eighteen and Wise 04:02
lyrics

Bad grades Dad stays Mad days After I bring home my report card Won’t get nowhere if I don’t work hard It’s proof His rules His roof Unable to get out from under it It’ll be over me til I’m a hundred Unless I can convince him otherwise I’ll never get to see the other side You think I have no clue what I’m doing What if it’s just a clever disguise I’m eighteen and wise To you, when I make the right decision You gaze in shock, so surprised I’m eighteen and wise I know I’m gold Ice cold With this I ain’t aiming to write a hit that My friends can sing, I already did that Hate me Age be Eighteen Don’t think it can get any better than this No rules, living life sans hints My hands to my chest like a praying mantis You’ll never know exactly what my plan is Jealous ‘bout the things I get to do in This angsty adolescent guise I’m eighteen and wise Seems you’re seeing me through darkened blurry vision Time to open up your eyes I’m eighteen and wise About to rock out another solo even though I go for those highs I’m eighteen and wise Solo I’m the smartest damn teen there will ever be No one will be able to touch my legacy It’s no phase, my confidence is never waning I know I know everything Haters will say that I can’t prove it Like dough when it’s starting to rise I’m eighteen and wise Look at me, the giant titan has finally risen Take in my gigantic size I’m eighteen and wise Screw God, I’m who you should believe in so Get ready to be baptized I’m eighteen and wise

Chinese Food 03:37
lyrics

I egg roll myself outta bed every morning Rubbing tired away from my eyes Cuz of our fight last night I assume you left Oh honey that's no surprise (Every time you leave I order Chinese food) And even though you crawl back every week You think you're such a tease Truth is, once you're gone a man brings her over And she's Chinese Chorus Every time you leave I order Chinese food Pupu platters scattered all over the place Waking up doused in soy sauce White sticky rice all over my face We stay in the living room all night Rolling around in yum-yum When I think the lights are too damn bright I go hit the switch and dim some Chorus SOLO Ohhhh once three days have passed I start to get mocked By my leftovers in the fridge, box after white box Chinese food reminds me of you, you quake my endorphins So when you're gone our house is a crumbling cookie void of fortune Chorus x2

Down On My Luck 02:56

The sun never rises The moon never sets Every day is night Void of silhouettes TV man comes on and says Economy has crashed For no one else except me Now I'm outta cash When I heard the news I was dumbstruck I didn't know what to expect I guess I shoulda cuz now I'm down on my luck It's hard and life's a wreck Puddles like to stick to me Like I'm a fish with fins Have yet to get a victory They're all gone with the wins Frankly my dear, my life's gone down No job, no pay Wanted to be happy all year-round But you can't be merry in May When I heard the news I was dumbstruck I didn't know what to expect I guess I shoulda cuz now I'm down on my luck It's hard and life's a wreck I've been trying to keep my life tight, bright Turning my age's lug nuts right But right now this rough patch is the utmost gut-wrenching thing I'm left unscrewing my win screws loose I'm left unscrewing my win screws loose When I heard the news I was dumbstruck I didn't know what to expect I guess I shoulda cuz now I'm down on my luck And I don't know what's coming next

about

The seventh Ronoc 'N' Roll album is weird one. Recorded in the span of a week, 'Longer Blacker Bigger' sees a return to the old childish R'N'R style in songs like 'Narcissist' and 'Eighteen and Wise'. Ronoc 'N' Roll also steps out of his usual genre of playing on tracks like 'Dynamic' and the title track.
