Go Home 01:59
Where do you go when you go home Where do you go when you go home Nothing here even looks the same Funny how everything can change Where do you go when you’re all washed up Where do you go when you’re out of luck Nothing left but the memory Lock it up throw away the key It's times like these they bring you down Nothing constant as the change It's times like these they break you down Don’t get caught in yesterday Where do you go when you go home Where do you go when you go home Nothing here for you anyway Nobody cares if you leave or stay Where do you go when the lights go out Where do you go when you’re full of doubt These days it looks so worn down Light a match burn it to the ground

Countdown 02:05
They say you’re innocent but i don't wanna know Just what you're after, got your cards you hold them close Not hard to justify when your back's up against the wall They say you’re innocent but I don’t, wanna hear it You gotta get away Dont let it/them bring you down Gonna show them all. They say not relevant you say they’re all a bore Stockpile options here’s something they can’t ignore Not hard to justify when your back’s up against the wall They say not relevant but I don’t, wanna hear it Countdown I don’t wanna be, something other see As just another pawn, am I doing something wrong To the point that I can’t breathe, 321

Just wasting away Postpone and delay Coming up empty At the end of the day A tired refrain A losing campaign It just drags you down And then right back to me And I can’t remember the things I say And you can’t recall things from yesterday Sometimes the truth is a losing campaign It depends who you ask about it You could have opened up We could have passed the time We could have talked all night You could have thought about it We could have done our part You could have towed the line We could have made it work I’ve got no doubt about it I thought you worked it out I thought you had enough I thought you gave it up I thought we talked about it I thought you put it down I thought you turned it all around Thought you were better now Thought you could do without it

Make It Back 02:05
I put that record on and I don’t know Something in principle I don’t feel so alone Wish I could bottle it but I don’t know Just need somewhere to go Feelings that I can’t show Tonight there’s something Make it back tonight, there’s something But I don’t know Reactions you were sure that I’d outgrow They all fade into gray In a well-mannered way Guess we just lost connection long ago And there’s no going back No renewing the pact Tonight there’s something Make it back tonight, there’s something But I don’t know Memories of yesterday How fast they fade away With empty spots for all the Things that I meant to say

On The House 01:58
Welcome to the American nightmare Where dreams fade fast But that’s not what you want to hear Cult classic wrapped up for show yeah We’ve all seen it but nobody knows Who you are, what they think Where you’re at, where you’ll be Line all your problems up in a row I got the drinks tonight lets go (Woahs that have nothing in common with any Naked Raygun song) Time’s up decide what you wanna be My reaction time is way too slow Thought I had it all figured out But now I just don’t know How everything got complicated Or where everybody had to go Next time I’ll get it right but I got the drinks tonight lets go Tell me what you wanna be Tell me…… Don’t know what….. Tell us……. Time’s up, stop throw it all away Start over fresh on another day There’s really no good reason To feel so low About who you are, what they think Where you’re at, where you’ll be Line all your problems up in a row I got the drinks tonight lets go Drinks are on the house

El Bastardo 02:26
Wouldn’t it be nice if there was something to say A button to reset the end of the day Try to keep up, you just go faster Throw all my shit out, call me a bastard I never thought that things would end up this way I never thought it was a contest to play Try to keep up, you just go faster Full steam ahead, date with disaster I try to turn the other cheek As you shove words down my throat Then you ask if I want more Think by now that you should know Pent it all up until you burst at the seams Better way out is just to blame it on me Try to keep up, you just go faster Throw all my shit out, call me a bastard I never thought that it would end up this way I never thought it was a contest to play Try to keep up, you just go faster Full steam ahead, date with disaster I try to turn the other cheek As you shove words down my throat Then you ask if I want more Used to wait for hours just to see your face And in not so many words, I think you should know You ruined my outlook like I’m always wrong Ruined my friends and you ruin my songs Throw out my records and ruin my scene Try as you like but you won’t ruin me

Alcoholics 01:57
Never thought twice about a 2nd drink (never thought twice at all) Never thought twice what it’s doing to me (never thought twice at all) Same old story in the end Man I swear I’m never gonna drink again Line em’ up we’ll knock em’ back Alcoholic hacks I’ll take a Coke and Jack Never thought twice what time it is Never thought twice what I gotta do Circumvent responsibility Wash away all my insecurity Make me feel like who I wanna be Knock a few back till my liver bleeds Alcoholic hacks I’ll take a Coke and Jack My bank account is tapped I think I’m getting fat We’re alcoholics
8.
Parade 02:37
Funny how your pictures used to be on my walls Funny how that gesture means nothing at all Nothing left for you to say that I would want to hear Nothing left but empty bottles (chorus) So drink all night, sleep through the day Walk through this life like it was a parade And when you see me, grin and wave Nothing matters at all, with a foot in the grave Nothing left but remnants of what I thought you’d be Nothing but the absence of everything I need Nothing left for me to do, but act like you’re not here Nothing left but empty bottles Everyone’s thinking, but now they know That lately your sanity’s been touch and go But I think you knew that long ago Funny how it’s worked out, if you could only see Can’t reconcile the distance that’s between you and me Nothing left for us to do but turn and walk away Nothing left but empty bottles And I see you with one foot in the grave
9.
Newport HC 02:50
Can’t believe it, can’t believe you’re gone Newport hardcore won’t be the same without you Never be the same without out Should have seen it, written on the wall Newport hardcore won’t be the same without you Never be the same without out I can’t believe it now you’re gone I should have seen it on the wall Now everywhere I look I see your face in everyone I know Where you stood before Newport Hardcore Can’t believe it, loss for us all Should have seen it, you were there for us all Where you stood before, should have seen it You’re my moron bro, best believe it Where you stood before Newport Hardcore

You are my sunshine punk version

about

UnderTipper began as a project in late 2014 when Tavis Disgraceful parted ways on good terms with Cincinnati OH punk band “Bad Standard” to focus on recording a full length solo album. The goal of UnderTipper was to take existing original songs, give them a bit of a facelift and ensure they were recorded as well as one dude hanging out in a basement with a few beers, guitars, and a computer is able. At very minimum it still sounded like a pretty appealing way to spend free time in the evenings. Three months into the project Bad Standard bassist Jeff Forton was persuaded to "come over and have a few brews" ultimately leading to him recording bass guitar and additional backup vocals for the album. One can never have enough “gang vocals” though….the struggle is real. Ultimately Clay Stevens and Mike Ashcraft (both from Bad Standard) where invited down into the basement to croon additional backup vocals into the microphone. With group vocal “gangyness” achieved, there was still the small matter of getting a decent album mix. Having been a longtime fan of The Copyrights (and originally hailing from the Carbondale IL area himself) Tavis contacted Luke McNeill (The Copyrights, Hospital Job, all around super nice guy) about mixing the album. Apparently Luke never sleeps because he agreed to take on the project. The end result is the debut UnderTipper album “Barely Making ¢ents”, consisting of 10 short and sweet punk songs....kinda like they made back in the 90s.
