You've betrayed my lovin'
so just set me free
I deserve another
who would want just me

wanting even to
give the stars to me
make me smile all the while
wishing that we'll always be
bound together

let me be
just forget about us (3x)
You've cheated me

who wants company
You don't need my carin'
You just kept on playin'
what I need is someone
There's a rumor
Circulating

Chance in heaven

He's all about me he won't cross the line
You need to hear it now
So listen up, I've had enough
Get it straight and know the date
Let me clarify, verify
Tell me not that I'm a dreamer for the things I feel
and see
or that nothing can be accomplished from the things I
wish to be
Tell me not that I'm fanatic for the things I feel
inside
they are flowers of oppression born of a pain I cannot
hide
Do not look upon my actions as the acts of one insane
when I take up modern weapons to avenge my father's
name
Let your eyes scan on the Ghettos, through the books of
history
then you'll understand this feeling and just how it
came to be
Sure I must admit I'm bitter for the precious blood
I've bled
and for the years of cruel oppression that you've
heaped upon my head
For the rape of my grandmothers and the mulattos that
you've left
for the many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many,
many, many,
many, many, many years of slavery with its legacy of
death
Tell me not that I'm a dreamer, oh no it's you that
cannot see
I am just another victim of a cruel reality
What manner of man is this, I ask? Who roams the seven
seas
who graces the skies of birds of iron and wanders where
he please
Who walks into another's home and takes his properly
Then slays the man, his wife and child in the name of
liberty
What manner of beast is this I ask who drops a napalm
from the skies
then send my sons away to war to maim and kill and die
What manner of man is this I ask, who arrogantly
displays his might
What manner of man is this, my friend, needless to say
he's white
So take your hands off of me, white folks, I've done
you no wrong
I'm only guilty of making you strong
I've built all of your cities and I've worked in your
mines
I've fought to protect you many a time
It was I who taught you what it is to be brave
I had great civilizations when you lived in caves
I taught you what soap was when you dyed yourselves
blue
I taught you of planting and harvesting too
I showed you what clothes were to cover your backs
when you were wearing wolfskins and running in packs
When you knew nothing of the barrier of sound
it was I who taught you that this planet was round
In Palermo, Sicily and Italy and Spain
I left monuments of my grandeur and fame
And during your dark ages when your people were blind
I built universities to enlighten your kind
When your homeland was weak and your people were poor
It was I who brought you to America's shore
Why you did not even know how to survive
I showed you medicine to keep you alive
How earnest you seem, how well you did learn
now vile a reward I received in return
But time is on my side, I'm sure you must know
that the day will arrive when you'll reap what you sow
For I gave you Religion and you know it's a fact
that the Christ and the Buddha and Mohammed were black
I taught you to dance and I taught you to sing
You repaid me with treachery and slavery and chains
So don't touch me Whitey and don't look surprised
No I'm no longer fooled by your tricks and your lies
I'm aware of your game and of your history
and I'm aware of the Judas that you've been to me
So watch out for me white folks, It's just a matter of
time
Anyone can tell you, lies like one and one is two,
And then call 'round and tell that I'm not right for you.
Hands off,
. You're gonna hear me saying,
Hands off,
. Things sure need some changing,
Hands off,
. We'd all be much better of then.
Anyone can tell you, lies like one and two is three,
And then call 'round and tell that you were'nt made for me.
Hands off,
. Do you need persuading?
Hands off,
. I've had enough interrogation,
Hands off,
. Do you hear what I say?
Hands off,
. Now do you need persuading?
Hands off,
. I've had enough interrogation.
Hands off,
. Do you hear what I say?
Yeah...
You know that I'm a peaceful man, now as a general rule,
That's the way I'd like to keep it, if I had to choose.
Hands off,
. Now here's the situation,
Hands off,
. My girl needs consideration,
Hands off,
. Did you hear what I say?
There's people letter-writing until the ink turns green,
Trying to ruin my reputation, sell it to a magazine.
Hands off,
. Now here's the situation,
Hands off,
. My girl needs consideration,
Hands off,
. We'd all be better off then.
Hands off,
. Now here's the situation,
Hands off,
. My girl needs consideration,
Hands off,
. Did you hear what I say?
Hands off,
. Now here's the situation,
Hands off,
. Needs some consideration,
Hands off,
. Did you hear what I say?
Hands off,.... Off..hey..
Hands off,
. Now here's the situation,
Constant tension in my head
I wake up tangled in words
I became a puppet in a theatre of the upper class
An actor in an eccentric performance
I feel that my independence was taken away
Hectic pace of life destroyed my memories
They clip my wings when try to fly up
I give in to petrified thoughts?
I'm like a leaf treaded upon in autumn
Beggar of hope with desire of life, but how can I live
I've overcome a storm and settled on an island of
oblivion
I've found what I needed, my remedy for life
Many things have changed for all these years,
I clench my fists and fight
I have enough courage to face life
I know that my time has come at last
But every night awakens my pain, I can feel the breath of
my enemy down my neck
Hands off don't touch my soul
Hands off my soul
The time will come when you will understand
You will feel the way I do
Power is in youth, and brings revolution
The time will come when I will pay You back
So what if doing something real bad is the only way to get it
So what if its a bad idea, later I'll regret it.
I'll take whatever comes with doing what I want when I want it
And hope whatever comes doesn't know I sting like a hornet..
I'm about to do something that
I don't wanna do
Ready to do anything
To make this clear to you
You better get your hands off
Before you get them both cut off
Make the wrong move
And get your lights put out
Get your hands off
Before you get them both cut off
Make the wrong move
And get your lights put out
I know what your thinking, I know what you're sayin
I know that you're hoping that I am, but I ain't playin
I'll do what I gotta do just to keep me movin
And hope whatever does what its gonna wont see me comin..
You ain't takin the only thing
That I earned to keep
You ain't takin the only thing
Keeping me asleep
You better get your hands off
Before you get them both cut off
Make the wrong move
And get your lights put out
Get your hands off
Before you get them both cut off
Make the wrong move
And get your lights put out
Get your hands off
Before you lose them both for good
Hands off
Get your hands off
Before you lose them both for good
You better get your hands off
Before you get them both cut off
Make the wrong move
And get your lights put out
Get your hands off
Before you get them both cut off
Make the wrong move
And get your lights put out
Threw my clothes in the yard
Ran over my foot with your car
Don't try to say it was just an accident
Then you stole all my shoes
Now what the hell am I gonna do
When I don't even know what I did
It ain't yours, it ain't mine
It won't matter in time
`Cause we both know just where this things goin'
`Cause we'd dance around `til we'd verbally pound
But ya scratched out my love with those fingers
Baby, get your hands off my throat
`Cause I can't breathe, I can't
Get your hands off my throat
Now I'll get my coat and leave
I'll leave, baby
We've had some fun
But we were ever one
`Til we found out we were no one at all
And now that we're through
For another day or two
Tell me, baby, why don't you call
Just call me
Get your hands off my throat
`Cause, baby, I can't, I can't breathe, baby
Get your hands off my throat
I get my coat and leave
(Solo)
Well, I remember the time
Well, let me freshen your mind
You told me
David, I, I need, I think it's time I have a little
space
So then I try to be the understanding man
You just call a woody allen character about the whole
thing
I said that's cool, I understand, I pack my bags
And get outta your face
Then for three days on end
She was in bed with my best friend
Discussing every problem
She cried, she begged, David, we didn't really do
anything
He's a really understanding guy, and he really just
listens
And I said
Baby, you gave him head
God damn
Get your hands off my throat
`Cause baby, I can't breathe, I can't
Get your hands off my throat
And I get my coat and leave
Pack my bags and walk out the door
Lord, I can't take no more, yeah
Get your hands off my throat
staying out late, trouble knows my name.
skating away from security, it's a cat and mouse game.
slamming cokes and eating the pie.
one too many slices, you'll bust a gut and die.
go for broke, then slam down bad.
that's the price you pay for trying to get rad.
but i'll pick myself up, i don't need your help.
keep your hands off me, i'd rather be by myself.
a broken board and a long walk home.
sometimes i feel better being alone.
i'm so bored, looking for some fun.
the better you get to know me, the further you'll run.
sometimes i feel better being alone.
wake up at dawn just to skate the ramp.
girls get in the way, just a bunch of ramp tramps.
the session is rad, we all get gnarly.
so many of us it's like a private party.
later on that night, thrashers rule the scene.
acid drop off ramps in tight blue jeans.
just before i left i saw your face.
and i knew i had to get out of the place.
a broken board and a long walk home.
sometimes i feel better being alone.
i'm so bored, looking for some fun.
the better you get to know me, the further you'll run.
sometimes i feel better being alone.
This is just a ghost town posing as a city
It?s like a dead-end street, we?ve gotta move right now
Then you come running in, looking so pretty
I?m so glad you made it, can we leave right now?
We want a world in a mobile home
We'll stay connected by a cellular phone
So many out there, living a lie
If death is a toll, we?ll just tamper with life
At least that?s what you wanted
At least that?s what you said
You had to have right now
And now that we are on it
Can we seize the moment?
Don?t let me down
It?s kinda rough but it?s enough
People always kill the things they love
Let?s make a sign that says, "Hands Off"
This is just a ghost town posing as a city
Hotdogs and sodas and we?re on our way
The music?s blaring out now
Could you please just turn it down now?
I can sleep all day
Yes, I had a drink last night
I haven?t slept a wink last night
I don?t regret a thing, that?s right
This is intense, lower your fences
And just let it ride, taillights that fade in the night
You?ll be fine, just watch that sign
Bear to the right, flashing blue neon lights
Oh, oh, oh, hands off
Hands off
I had a dream they took my hands off
Although you probably think that I'm soft boiled
I'm still in love with you
Girlfriend, don't sit around waiting for the world to end
I'll keep my distance but I won't pretend
I'm not in love with you
And it's all your fault, you spiked my malt
She slipped a mickey in my heart, heart, heart
And I can't shake free, although I'm shaking like a tree
I should've never let it, I should've never let it start
I should've never let it
Deep end, I guess I'm going off the deep end
It's only 'cause you've got a hand to lend
I'm still in love with you
Crap shoot, you've got the snake eyes and lizard boots
I like you better in your birthday suit, yeah
I'm in love with you
And it's all your fault, you spiked my malt
You slipped a mickey in my heart, heart, heart
And I can't shake free, although I'm shaking like a tree
I should've never let it, I should've never let it start
I should've never let it
It's all your fault, you spiked my malt
You slipped a mickey in my heart, heart, heart
And I can't shake free, although I'm shaking like a tree
I should've never let it, I should've never let it start
I should've never let it start
I should've never let it start
I should've never let it start
