I'll be the one, spin me around
Lifting you up, and holding me down
Inside a storm is raging, it blows up in your eyes
Inside a heart is breaking, rivers running dry
I could run, I could hide
When I'm crashing down who's the one who saves me?
Oh, intertwined, wrap around me now with your thorns
And we're holding on when
There's nothing left to hold on to
So don't tell me when it's gone
'Cause all I have left is you
Out of love, out of time
When I'm falling down you're the one who saves me
Oh, intertwined, wrap around me now with your thorns
And we're holding on when
There's nothing left to hold on to
So don't tell me when it's gone
'Cause all I have left is you
When there's nothing left to hold on to
So don't tell me when it's gone
'Cause all I have left, all I have left is you
I'll be the one lifting you up again
Inside a storm is raging, hold me down, hold me down
I'll be here waiting, I'll be here waiting, I'll be
here waiting for
And we're holding on when
There's nothing left to hold on to
So don't tell me when it's gone
'Cause all I have left is you
When there's nothing left to hold on to
So don't tell me when it's gone
'Cause all I have left, all I have left is you
I've been told that to get what you want
You just gotta give what you can
But I know for what I want it don't come easy as that
They say, "Look out, boy
Tomorrow comes and things will look better by then."
But I'll look out the window
Then look in the mirror at the same old me again
Still can't get it right
And for all I know
I swear I never will
Do you think you'd sell your soul
To just have one thing to turn out right?
For the thousandth time you turnand find
That it just makes no difference to try
Like Holden Caulfield, I tell myself
There's got to be a better way
Then I lay in bed and stare at the ceiling
Dream of brighter days
No way out
Same old stuff always drags me down
Now way out
Clouds pass over the moon
Like an eye that shows impending doom
Tension in this misty air
Souls pass into the room
Drawn in by a lost memory
You will join them in the moonlight
You are my offering
Your soul transcends
The centuries of pain
Your misery in life
Is your ecstasy in death
Time passes like the wind
As we race to beat days dusky grin
Mornings just a moment away
Your body glistens in candlelight
As we all look on in fiendish delight
The ritual is just beginning
Come full fill the prophecy
With our demons of debauchery
As virgins and spectres sing
This madness will never cease
In the dead of night
You will follow
In the footsteps of many others
Who have come before
I will show you the altar
Your aztec eyes, egyptian hair
Your beauty bestoved upon my lair
I've loved you before, in other lives
But youUve never meant as much to me
Never meant as much to me as now
In this night of sacrifice
where blood is spilt
That will never spill again
But in your linen robes
We want you now
We want you now
You could never ask for more than that
You are my offering
Your soul transcends
The centuries of pain
Your misery in life
Is your ecstasy in
Come full fill the prophecy
With our demons of debauchery
Deep inside your soul there's a hole you don't wanna see
Every single day what you say makes no sense to me
Even though I try I can't get my head around you
Somewhere in the night there's a light in front of me
Heaven up above with a shove, I beg it's me
Even though I try I fall in the river of you
You've managed to bring me down too
All you're faking (Get Up, Get Up, Get Up, Get Up)
Shows you're aching (Get Up, Get Up, Get Up)
Every single day what you say makes no sense to me
Lettin' you inside, isn't right, don't mess with me
I never really know what's really going on inside you
I can't get my head around you
All you're feeling (Get Up, Get Up, Get Up, Get Up)
Shows you're breathing (Get Up, Get Up, Get Up)
Deep inside your soul there's a hole you don't wanna see
Covering it up like a cut with the likes of me
You know I've really tried, I can't do anymore about you
The cut's getting deeper (Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh)
The hill's getting steeper (Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh)
I guess I'll never know what's really going on inside you
I can't get my head around you
I can't get my head around you
I can't get my head around you
I can't get my head around you
When you're in prison, don't turn the other way
Keep your back against the wall
When you're in prison, don't turn the other way
Do not bend at all
Oh don't pick up the soap, pick up the soap
It's bad for you
Oh don't pick up the soap, pick up the soap
Someone will be waiting there for you
When you're in prison be sure to stay awake
Always lie upon your back
When you're in prison be sure to stay awake
Keep you from attack
Oh don't be no one's bitch, be no one's bitch
It's bad for you
Oh don't be no one's bitch, be no one's bitch
They won't help you make it through.
When you're in prison, don't turn the other way
Follow what I say to do.
When you're in prison, don't turn the other way
You can make it through
You can make it through
You can make it through
Show me how to lie
I'm getting better all the time
And turn it all in to one
Is it all that hard to teach?
Cause you love to make up words
Then soft it up, expecting hurt
And as you slip out with a lie
You're mounted to their feet
Now dance, fucker, dance
But he never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
And now you seal the way
Take them out to play
That is what you did
You're gonna go far, kid
With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit her right between the eyes
Hit her right between the eyes
We give up the way
Nothing what I say
See the lightning in your eyes
See you running from their lies
Show me how to lie
Then stay close by my side
So play it all, I'm wide awake
It's a scene, then battle me
There's something in your way
And that's the one who's gonna pay
And if he can't get what you want
Well, then it's all because of me
Now dance, fucker, dance
But I never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
And now you lead the way
Saw the light of day
That is what you did
You're gonna go far, kid
Trust and see
With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit her right between the eyes
Hit her right between the eyes
We give up the way
Nothing what I say
See the lightning in your eyes
See you running from their lies
Now dance, fucker, dance
He never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
So dance, fucker, dance
I never had a chance
It was really only you
With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit her right between the eyes
Hit her right between the eyes
We give up the way
Nothing what I say
See the lightning in your eyes
See you running from their lies
Running fast
No, not that fast
Hit her right between the eyes
Hit her right between the eyes
We give up the way
Nothing what I say
See the lightning in your eyes
See you running from their lies
Ballroom scene, but the fire underneath.
Gonna eat you alive,
Gonna bring you to your knees.
Went out drinking late last night,
I had a blast.
But now the morning light has come
and kicked my ass.
I've got the worst hangover ever
I'm crawling to the bathroom again
It hurts so bad that I'm never gonna drink again
And by my seventh shot I was invincible
I would have never thought I'd be this miserable
I've got the worst hangover ever
I'm rolling back and forth on the bed
I'm worked so bad that I'm never gonna drink again
Won't someone just kill me?
Put me out of my misery
I'm making deals with god
I'll do anything
Make it stop please!
Make it stop please!
Make it stop please!
Make it stop please!
I've got the worst hangover ever
I'm crawling to the bathroom again
It hurts so bad that I'm never gonna drink again
I'll probably never drink again
I may not ever drink again
At least not til next weekend
I'm never gonna drink again
If you could only read my mind
You would know that things between us, ain't right
I know your arms are open wide
Sure you're a little on the straight side, I can't lie
You're one vice is you're too nice
Come around now, can you see?
I want you, all tattooed
I want you bad
Complete me, mistreat me
Want you to be bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
If you could only read my mind
You would know that I've been waiting, so long
Someone almost just like you
But with attitude I'm waiting, so come on
Get out of clothes time, grow out those highlights
Come around now, can you see?
I want you, in a vinyl suit
I want you bad
Complicated, X rated
I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
Don't get me wrong
I know you're only being good
But that's what's wrong
I guess I just misunderstood
I want you, all tattooed
I want you bad
Complicated, X rated
I want you bad, I mean it, I need it
I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
Goodbye my friend, you've messed up again
You're going to prison, you're off to the pen
You've gotten off easy so many times
But I guess no one told you how to get a life
The judge wasn't lenient like he was before
You got three to five and a kick out the door
The public defender really did try
Too little, too late, you didn't get a life
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Folsom prison is the destination
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
In the scheme of life, we're all just brothers
Rehabilitate with all the others
Well, I'll see ya
That car looked so tempting, so easy to drive
Just like that apartment that you burglarized
You started to run, but didn't get far
Cause under your arm was a VCR
Ho ho, not this time my friend
You'll be in lockdown by ten
I'm afraid you can't talk your way out of this one, son
Now four walls are your 24-hour-a-day, constant companions.
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Folsom prison is the destination
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
In the scheme of life, we're all just brothers
Rehabilitate with all the others
Well, I'll see ya
Welcome to Americana
Please make your selection
followed by the pound sign now
Look at me I‘m fallin‘
Off of a cliff now
I can still hear my mama yelling no no no
But the words mean nothing
Can‘t catch up to me now
And the view is so beautiful
All the way down
When I was a little boy
Suckin‘ juice from a bottle
Believing my perceptions were oh so real
But I didn‘t know nothing
Still knowing nothing
Was just enough for me to know the way I feel
This is life
What a fucked up thing we do
What a nightmare come true
Or a playground if we choose
And I choose
Look at me I‘m swollen
Like a bananafish now
I‘m never gonna make it out of my hole
But I keep on laughing
Doesn‘t really matter
There‘s dozens of reasons for explaining my soul
When I was a teenager
Suckin‘ booze with the vatos
Discussing who was gonna live to be 21
They said they wouldn‘t make it
They didn‘t make it
We‘re all naked when the day is said and done
This is life
What a fucked up thing we do
What a nightmare come true
Or a playground if we choose
And I choose
Don‘t know who made this all come true
But now while you‘re here
You just gotta do what you gotta do
Now if I wasn‘t such a weenie
Do you think you‘d still love me
Pretending I‘m an airplane on the living
Room floor
But like a lovely generator
You stand right by me
And if words were wisdom I‘d be talking
Even more
So I keep on falling
As I‘m looking back above me
Watching as my mama just becomes a little dot
Now I‘m like deniro
I‘m amarillo
And I‘ll never know when I hit the ground
When the siren's flash is gone
And we're left to carry on
All the memories are too few
When the pastor's music plays
And that casket rolls away
I could live again if you
Just stay alive for me
Please stay now, you left me here alone - it's the end of the line
Please stay I can't make it on my own - it's the end of the line
Make it on my own
It's the end of the line
Now that you are dead and gone
And I'm left to carry on
I could never smile cause you
Won't stay alive for me
Finally,
Your final resting day
Is without me
I weep
And think of brighter days
What about me?
You can't take back, the one mistake
That still lives on after life it takes
In that one day, that changed our lives
And bitter memories are left behind
When we were young the future was so bright
The old neighborhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole damn street
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
Jamie had a chance, well she really did
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
Mark still lives at home cause he's got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
Jay committed suicide
Brandon OD'd and died
What the hell is going on
The cruelest dream, reality
When you're feeling low
Hypodermic's where you go
WHen you're with yourself
You wish yo ucould be someone else
CHORUS
Can't you see like you saw anymore?
Can't you feel like you felt before?
Can't you face anything anymore?
When life's a waste
Run away
Your life's a waste
Run away
Once you get a ride
Doesn't matter where you lied
Once you shoot it in
Doesn't matter who you've been
You're reeaching in but you don't know where to begin
All your dance and song won't matter when you're gone
CHORUS
When you won't go along
Some will feel like you can't find your way
Heaven knows
Heaven knows I've seen it all before
Now don't get me wrong
I've seen many a life gone astray
When someone goes
All your bows won't make it any better so let it go
Shut up and take it like a man
You need us to get a life
For your own good we'll take you by the hand
'Cause you need a little more
Maybe no one will say it
Maybe no one's aware it goes on
All I know
All I know it's like going off the deep end
Could you make a decision?
Could you think for yourself and go on?
Everyone knows
Everyone knows you've got to fit into the mainstream so save your woes
Close your eyes
Look away now
Make believe while you can
So you'd best go along
Don't let on if you can't find your way
Many more
Many more do it for you
Because heaven knows
Heaven knows it's like playing with fire
Head over heals I've fit in before
Now I don't wanna do it no more
I've held it all in with blood on my face
Built it up man so bad you can taste
I don't slag no one
I don't even judge
Don't give a shit 'cause I'm not gonna budge
I just want to be who I want to be
Guess that's hard for others to see
I'm not a trendy asshole
I Do what I want
I Do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole
Don't give a fuck
If it's good enough for you
Cause I am alive
Smash is the way you feel all alone
Like an outcast you're out on your own
Smash is the way you deal with your life
Like an outcast you're smashing your strife
Head over heels I've fit in before
Now I don't want to do it no more
I just want to be who I want to be
Guess that's hard for others to see
Look at the crowd and tell me whether
All are surrounded
But none are together
If you're awake, look all around
At all of the people
Still you're so alone
So alone
If I could, I'd make a suggestion
Without sounding preachy
Or begging the question
Melt with your minds
Melt with each other
Look at you soilder boy now
With that big gun in your little hand
As you patrol this foreign land
Hear the mine that clicks beneath your feet
Now do you see the light
Fading while your world is crumbling
Out on patrol
And all you can do is sit and stare
What revelation have you now
What culmination to your speck of life
Your moment in time
As you sit here all alone
Will your buddies come and save your life
But as the enemy appears
You know it's kind of hard
Just to get along today
Our subject isn't cool
But he fakes it anyway
He may not have a clue
And he may not have style
But everything he lacks
Well he makes up in denial
So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabe's
So do that brand new thing
He needs some cool tunes
Not just any will suffice
But they didn't have Ice Cube
So he bought Vanilla Ice
Now cruising in his Pinto, he sees homies as he pass
But if he looks twice
They're gonna kick his lily ass
Now he's getting a tattoo
He's gettin' ink done
He asked for a '13', but they drew a '31'
Friends say he's trying too hard
And he's not quite hip
But in his own mind
He's the dopest trip
So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabe's
The world loves wannabe's
So let's get some more wannabe's
And do that brand new thing
Things are coming down on me
They never seem to let it be
It seems like everything I say just starts another fight
The pressure's building up inside
I gotta let it out tonight
Shattered glass will cure my ills and make me feel alright
Gonna break it
And never stop running
Making nothing from something
Making nothing from something
Cut me for the lion's share
It's mindless, but I don't care
'Cause no matter what I say
I'm in a another fight
Take more shit, I've had enough
Tonight I'm gonna rip it up
I'm not the one who made the world what it is today
I'm not the one who caused the problems started long ago
But now I deal with all the consequences that troubles our times
I carry on and never once have even questioned why
I'm innocent
But the wieght of the world is on my shoulders
I'm innocent
But the battles started are far from over
We're not the ones who leave the homeless in the streets at night
We're not the ones who've kept minorities and women down
Still we grow and then the problems they become our own
We carry on without even realizing why
We're innocent
But the weight of the world is on our shoulders
We're innocent
But the battles left us are far from over
We're not the ones whose pollution blackened our skies
And ruined our streams
We're not the ones who made the nuclear bombs
That threaten our lives
We're not the ones who let the children starve in faraway lands
We're not the ones who made the streets unsafe to walk at night
And even if we try and not become so overwhelmed
And if we make some contribution to the plight we see
Still our descendents will inherit our mistakes of today
There was a time, looking through myself
Wanting to pretend
If I escaped, I could fill myself
I don't think you can
Been far and wide
But that hole inside
Never really leaves
When I went away, what I really left
Left behind was me
It's telling me
To be on my way home
Million miles away
I can't stay
Each passing day, every passing face
Seems like such a blur
I long to be
Home, silently
Lying next to her
Just to get back, by her side is all
All I need to be
Cause I went away
But what I really left
Left behind was me
I need to be
Getting on my way home
A million miles away
Million miles away
I can't take
We are strong, we are right
We won't be pushed aside
We'll go on, we will fight
We will not compromise
We will never lose to you
We will never lose to you
We will never lose to you
Rage burns can't push it aside now
Can't forgive this grudge is alive now
All the rage eats you up inside
Can you leave it behind
What a surprise --
You're fucked with again Yeah
It's a way of life you need to get over
All the rage just eats you alive
Can you leave it behind
I don't know where it'll end
The sun has set
And I can't be friends
I don't know if I can forgive
The day is long
Red over white
It's one last fatal scene
Brought on by someone unseen
Moving on their own
Bring on the night
And bring us all to our knees
All are gone and none agreed
One who acts alone
Nobody wins
Nobody hears us fall
Nobody wins
When it's done
In my perfect isolation
I can stay here for awhile
Antidotes and revelations
Just extend my own exile
Wasting away
The world's right in front of me
Funny you should say
That it's all in my head
Wasting away
We're hitting rock bottom
And going down in flames
Well it's not that bad
With my lack of observation
I can stay in here for days
Could you find my motivation
I can't see it through this haze
Wasting away
The world's right in front of me
Funny you should say
That it's all in my head
Wasting away
We're hitting rock bottom
And going down in flames
Well it's not that bad
Wishing away
The world's right in front of me
Call me anyway
Cause it's all in my head
Wasting away
We're hitting rock bottom
And going down in flames
Well it's not that bad
Wasting all my days
What would Ivan say
Wasting all my days
What would Ivan say
Wasting away
We're hitting rock bottom
Call me anyway
Cause I got two friends
Wasting away
We're going down together
And all in all it's not so bad
All in all it's not so bad
It's hard to know
Where to start and where to go
I will never say these words again
When you're feeling low
Hypodermic's where you go
When you're with yourself
You wish yo ucould be someone else
Can't you see like you saw anymore?
Can't you feel like you felt before?
Can't you face anything anymore?
When life's a waste
Run away
Your life's a waste
Run away
Once you get a ride
Doesn't matter where you lied
Once you shoot it in
Doesn't matter who you've been
You're reeaching in but you don't know where to begin
When I step out to the microphone
It comes out sounding something like this
Deep inside I seek what's burning
Should have known all the while what's true
Went along, to fool myself
Can't go on, I can't escape it
All along, think I'm really new
It was down in the words I've spoken
All along, still believe in you
Now believe we are betrayed and broken
(Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh)
Close my eyes from the burning
All along, all the while it's true
Take it on, turn your back
Either way, you can't escape it
All along, think I'm really new
It was down in the words I've spoken
All along, still believe in you
Now believe we are betrayed and broken
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
All along, think I'm really new
It was down in the words I've spoken
All along, still believe in you
Now believe we are betrayed and broken
deep inside your soul there's a hole you don't wanna see
every single day what you say makes no sense to me
even though i try i can't get my head around you
somewhere in the night there's a light in front of me
heaven up above with a shove, abandons me
even though i try i fall in the river of you
you've managed to bring me down too
all you're faking (get up, get up, get up, get up)
shows you're aching (get up, get up, get up)
every single day what you say makes no sense to me
lettin' you inside, isn't right, don't mess with me
i never really know what's really going on inside you
i can't get my head around you
all you're feeling (get up, get up, get up, get up)
shows you're breathing (get up, get up, get up)
deep inside your soul there's a hole you don't wanna see
covering it up like a cut with the likes of me
you know i've really tried, i can't do anymore about you
(yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh) the cut's getting deeper
(yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh) the hill's getting steeper
i guess i'll never know what's really going on inside you
i can't get my head around you
i can't get my head around you
i can't get my head around you
i can't get my head around you
Feelings
Nothing more than feelings
Trying to forget my
Feelings of hate
Imagine
Beating on your face
Trying to forget my
Feelings of hate
Feelings
For all my life i'll feel it
I wish I'd never met you
You'll make me sick again
Feelings, oh oh feelings
Of hate on my mind
Feelings
Feelings like I never liked you
Feelings like I want to kill you
Live in my heart
Feelings
Feelings like I wanna deck you
Feelings like I've gotta get you
Out of my life
Feelings, oh oh feelings
The hate's in my eyes
Feelings, oh oh feelings
You're not very nice
she wakes up
rage and grace
pulling me closer
pushing away
and me the sharpest thorn on your vine
twisting and turning were all intertwined
broken wing
empty glass
words that scream and bounce right back
she says"you know, we'd all like to rearrange"
chorus:
i wish i could fix you
and make you how i want you
i wish i could fix you
and i wish you could fix me
i wish i could heal you
and mend where you are broken
i wish i could heal you
and i wish you could heal me
the beaming sunrise buries the night
the setting sun destroys the light
and she said "baby ive got to get going"
cutting eachother wihtout even knowing
she sees a million stars like holes in the sky
all gods tears for her they cry
and i am in her rain
chorus
broken wing
empty glass
words that scream and bounce right back
she says" you know, we'd all like to rearrange"
In my own simple way
I think she wants me only
She said,' Come over right away.'
But she's just not that way
Her little soul is tolen
See her put on her brand new face
[Chorus]
Pull the shades
Razor blades
You're so tragic
I hate you so but love you more
I'm so elastic
The things you say
Games you play
Dirty magic
I should know better than to think I'd reach inside her
It's all acloudy kind of daze
She's not so sweet today
She mocks me, I'm no fighther
It all just seems like such a waste
[Chorus]
It's oversimplified [x3]
[Chorus]

How does it feel?
When you have it all?
How can you live?
With nothing at all?
Where do you run?
Where do you go?
When the holes in your truth
Are starting to show?
And the rain comes
And the world is on my head
Crave the sun
But I can't get out of bed
How can you take?
Without giving back?
How does it work?
When it's really cracked?
How does it feel
...
And no wonder
Hearts and minds have been won
How does it feel...
And I wonder
How it's all come undone And the rain comes
And the world is on my head
Crave the sun
But I can't get out of bed
Want it You got it You're sorry You bought it You're sliding
Want it You got it You're sorry You bought it Can't hide it
Tell me who do you see
Cause you look a lot like me
How can you take?
Without giving back?
Who do you see?
Cause you look a lot like me
This time you're really dead
Once followed, but always led
You thought you'd rise above it all
It's all inside your head
All ripping it up in shreds
I know someday you're gonna fall
And I don't wanna say I told you so
But I told you so
Now you've lost control
And I don't wanna be the rise and fall
So gimme more or nothing at all
You're in an awful way
Sucked in by what you crave
They just can't wait to see you crawl
And you can only laugh
Give in to the other half
They're only tearing down your walls
They've come to see you rise and fall
They're only tearing down your walls
They've come to see you rise and fall
And I don't wanna say you've lost control
Rise and fall is
Good and evil,
Appearance and reality,
Judgment and reflection.
It is to judge and to be judged,
To dream and to accept.
It is Triumph and despair,
Wish and realization,
And we are both.
Now I don't know, and it's hard to explain
But it seems like things are just kind of insane
Because the world is crying
But nobody's listening
So please leave a message on my cell phone
I see bullets getting better
Biblical weather
And that guy on TV is like a total asshole
Who are you wearing tonight?
Celebrity fundraiser, tight!
Black ties making wrongs right
How's your social Band-Aid?
I don't know much
I don't know too much
But I know this
Shit is fucked up!
I guess it's all about the dream
The ends justify the means
You know it's all about the dream
The ends justify the means
Now thank god for the media, for saving the day
Putting it all into perspective in a responsible way
With more celebrity news
Typical bullshit views
I think we're losing this fight
Sponsored by Bud Light
And now we're rockin' the casbah
And taking the flak
The genie's out of the bottle, and we can't put it back
All this stuff
It's overwhelming my brain
Can you see the storm comin'?
It's coming this way
I don't know much
I don't know too much
But I know this
Shit is fucked up!
I guess it's all about the dream
The ends justify the means
You know it's all about the dream
The ends justify the means
Shopping Sprees, RPG's
Ecstasy

Huh!

I don't know too much
I don't know much

There's a moment in time
And it's stuck in my mind
Way back, when we were just kids
Cause your eyes told the tale
Of an act of betrayal
I knew that somebody did
Oh, waves of time
Seem to wash away
The scenes of our crimes
But for you this never ends
Can you stay strong?
Can you go on?
Kristy are you doing okay?
A rose that won't bloom
Winter's kept you
Don't waste your whole life trying
To get back what was taken away
Though the marks on your dress
Had been neatly repressed
I knew that something was wrong
And I should have spoke out
And I'm so sorry now
I didn't know
Cause we were so young
Oh, clouds of time
seem to rain on
innocence left behind
It never goes away
Can you stay strong?
Can you go on?
Kristy are you doing okay?
A rose that won't bloom
Winter's kept you
Don't waste your whole life trying
To get back what was taken away
Oh, clouds of time
seem to rain on
innocence left behind
It never goes away
It never goes away
Can you stay strong?
Can you go on?
Kristy are you doing okay?
A rose that won't bloom
Winter's kept you
Don't waste your whole life trying
To get back what was taken away
Don't waste your whole life trying
They're like the latest fashion
They're like a spreading disease
The kids are strappin' on their way to the classroom
Getting weapons with the greatest of ease
The gangs stake their own campus locale
And if they catch you slippin' then it's all over pal
If one guy's colors and the other's don't mix
They're gonna bash it up
Bash it up x3
Hey, man you talkin' back to me
Take him out
You gotta keep'em separated
Hey, man you disrespecting me
Take him out
You gotta keep'em separated
Hey, they don't pay no mind
If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time
Hey, come out and play
By the time you hear the siren
It's already too late
One goes to the morgue and the other to jail
One guy's wasted and the other's a waste
It goes down the same as the thousand before
No one's getting smarter
No one's learning the score
Your never ending spree of death and violence and hate
Is gonna tie your own rope
Tie your own rope
Tie a rope
Hey, man you disrespecting me
Take him out
You gotta keeep'em separated
Hey, man you talkin' back to me
Take him out
You gotta keep'em separated
Hey, they don't pay no mind
If your under 18 you won't be doing any time
Hey, come out and play
It goes down the same as the thousand before
No one's getting smarter
No one's learning the score
Your never ending spree of death and violence and hate
Is gonna tie your own rope
Tie your own rope
Tie a rope
Hey, man you talkin' back to me
Take him out
You gotta keep'em separated
Hey, man you disrespecting me
Take him out
You gotta keeep'em separated
Hey, they don't pay no mind
If your under 18 you won't be doing any time
Hey, come out and play
Somethng to Believe In
I believe that reality's gone
Disillusion's real
I believe that reality's gone
And there's nothing to feel
If you take these things
Things that we hold dear
Hands of crime is all you'll find
CHORUS
Give me something
Something to believe in
Something to believe in
Something to believe in
Something to believe in
I believe in the changin' of the guard
Put our feet on the ground
See how it is in your own backyard
Everything breaks down
Do you accept what you are told
Without even thinking
Throw it all you'll make your own
CHORUS
Where they lead You will follow
Well I guess that's just the way it goes
And if you go away
You'll be doing what they say
And if you've got a life
You'll be seeing that it's right
If you take home anything
Let it be your own two feet
The more single you become
The better off you'll be
CHORUS
They can make things worse for me
Sometimes I'd rather die
They can tell me lots of things
But I can't see eye to eye
Well, I know they know the way i think
I know they always will
But someday I'm gonna change my mind
Sometimes I'd rather kill
Bloodstains - Speed kills
Fast cars - Cheap thrills
Rich girls - Fine wine
I've lost my sense... I've lost control... I've lost my mind
Things seem so much different now
The scene has died away
I haven't got a steady job
And I've got no place to stay
Well, it's a futuristic modern world
But things aren't what they seem
Someday you'd better wake up
Let's make hand grenades
From common things around the house
Let's make hand grenades
Listen up, we'll show you how
ok now take an old beer bottle
fill it up with gasoline
some paint thinner for good measure
and a sprinkle of maganese
now stuff a sock into the top
with a zippo you'll be king
Lets make hand grenades
It's hours of fun in a little jar
Let's make hand grenades
Three in the morning and I gotta be someplace,
I don't remember where
friends try to make me stay, or call me a cab home,
I grab my keys and a beer
Cops they took my licence away,
got my car out of impound today
I've been drunk since last saturday,
better stay out of my way
I drink and drive
Feel so alive
Never take that dive
Feel so alive
Doing 95
I drink and drive
Feel so alive
I drink and drive
Early in the morning and the freeway's deserted, like its all mine
I'm trying to set a new drunken speed record,
but I can't drive a straight line
Flashing lights, split the night
I'm tossing bottles as I swerve to the right
now I've slammed my face into the back of a big rig
At least you'll never get me, you fucking pigs!
Designate someone other than me,
Im so drunk I can hardly see
Another shot of jager and I turn the key,
I got so many places to be
When Im on a binge, my friends all cringe
They won't drive at night
Cause way down on the freeway it's such a fright
Beheaded '99
From Idle Hands Soundtrack
Mommy doesn't have a head any more
Keep it underneath my bed on the floor
Well thats alright, man thats OK
She never really used her head anyway
Daddy called me a silly boy
Bet he won't say that any more
Cause the way his body is severed two
His vocal cords are gonna be hard to use
Beheaded, watch him spert like a garden hose
Beheaded, bloody mess all over my clothes
Watch my girl friend come to the door
Chop off her head, she falls to the floor
Now watching my baby's jugular blow
Really makes my motor go
Wrap a towel round the bloody stump
Take my baby's body to the city dump
Then wipe the mess off the bloody axe
Scoop all the heads into my burl-up sack
Beheaded, watch her spurt like a garden hose
Beheaded, bloody mess all over my clothes
All my collection, adorns my room on bamboo polls
Use to be a little, but a little got more and more
Now I'm craving yours
Night brings bad dreams, bad dreams with guillotines
Night brings bad dreams, bad dreams with guillotines
Off with her head
Off with her head
Off with her head
Off with her head
Off with her head
Off with her head
Find another victim for my machine
Put 'em in a home-made guillotine
Blade falls, gonna need a casket
Watch your head plop in a wicker basket
Leave the house at a quarter to four
Come back with sixteen or more
Cause the more I want, the more I see
I got a funny feeling coming over me
Beheaded, watch you spurt like a garden hose
Beheaded, bloody mess all over my clothes
I wrote her off for the tenth time today
And practiced all the things I would say
But she came over
I lost my nerve
I took her back and made her dessert
Now I know I'm being used
That's okay man cause I like the abuse
I know she's playing with me
That's okay cause I've got no self esteem
We make plans to go out at night
I wait till 2 then I turn out the light
All this rejection's got me so low
If she keeps it up I just might tell her so
When she's saying that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she's saying that I'm like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess I should stick up for myself
But I really think it's better this way
The more you suffer
The more it shows you really care Right?
Now I'll relate this a little bit
That happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
Drunk again and looking to score
Now I know I should say no
But that's kind of hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb
But I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem

Dog eat dog everyday
On our [Incomprehensible] memory play
Dog eat dog to get by
Hope you like my genocide
I find it such a shame
Through the pain, I see things as they are
We're served up on a plate
The pedestal is high enough to fall
And if in time
We can see the errors of our ways
Would anyone change it anyhow?
Our time is up
Dog eat dog everyday
On our [Incomprehensible] memory play
Dog eat dog to get by
Hope you like my genocide
Dog eat dog everyday
On our [Incomprehensible] memory play
Dog eat dog to get by
Hope you like my genocide
I bet you'd only run if you saw
What goes inside our own
I bet you'd lead the way
If it were up to you to decide, but it's not
Dog eat dog everyday
On our [Incomprehensible] memory play
Dog eat dog to get by
Hope you like my genocide
Dog eat dog everyday
On our [Incomprehensible] memory play
Dog eat dog to get by
Hope you like my genocide
Like solar blades, like suicide
[Incomprehensible]
I specially enjoyed that one
In your plane int he blue sky
you roam again
words that echo in your mind
make your heart beat faster
this is no vietnam
we will win in Iraq
The president said said, "let it ride"
islam be damned
make your last stand
in Baghdad
Warrior, the time bomb's about to go
what will you feel
will you ever wonder
if that man that's in your sights
ever kissed his girlfriend goodbye
the captain said, "kill or die"
islam be damned
make your last stand
in Baghdad
Great satan, our flags are burning
Now america has fond its young men
in the sand
where their casualty
is just another number
in iraq
the president said, "let it ride"
you will be damned
make your last stand
When we younger
There always seemed like some
Some perfect mold
That we're supposed to be
But now we're growing up and
I see it's just not that way
Now I feel like someone's lied to me
Cause I've been true
Made good for you
And now I feel used
I'm asking you
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be like you
Tell me now elders
What were your reasons for
Making it seem
Like you were so much more
If you want to feel good
Because of our accomplishments
Why the fuck
Don't you just do it yourself
Cause I've tried
Man I've tried
While you all lied
So now just tell me
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be like you
Look at all the families now
Who don't talk and don't trust
Because of the way
That things have been done
When will you finally learn
To leave out the bullshit
Time has washed away
And now I may wonder
How did it all slip by
Cause I always thought
We had forever
Future calls to me
To take me away from things
I don't want to leave behind
Like I'm slipping away
I can't hold on
Find that path alone
Crossroads lead me away
But that's not what worries me
I just want to know what's home
Through it all
My mind still wanders
To the one who touched my soul
Though her road leads away
She's still my
True love
I could believe
Will is not enough when all those
Lost days stand in the way
But she was
My hopes and dreams my
Whole world
I could believe
I still want to know
Who can see for me
Crossroads tell me
Now you'll have to trade
Your past away
And find another day
So is change a friend or an enemy
Through what comes to pass
I'll find my way
I've seen it all before
But is the best you can be
The best thing to be
Some people say
You're just wasting time
But that's not what worries me
Me My Old Lady
Me and my old lady
Lay in bed all day
And when I say I love her
Well she rolls the other way
But really she don't mean it
Everything she says
Still if I believe in love
There's nothing wrong
There's nothing wrong with my head
Me and my old lady
Sit and sip on wine
And when she says she loves me
Will I say that love is blind
But really I don't mean it
Everything I say
Still if she believes in love
There's nothing wrong
There's nothing wrong with her head
So what if we're making a scene now
You know she don't give a shit
When she's pawin' and grabbin' on me now
You know I don't mind a bit
It's all good and we
Ain't gonna change now
The world is unaware
So if you want to go on and stare
Cause we don't care
She ain't no ball and chain
Me and my old lady
Suck each other dry
And when in that position
I'm the luckiest man alive
Quenching our libidos
Passing time away
Now that I believe in love
There's nothing wrong
There's nothing wrong with my head
Mota!
Everyday, well it's the same
That bong that's on the table starts to call
My name
I take a hit and zone out again
I'll be paranoid and hungry by a quarter to ten
Watching reruns on my TV
I'm laughing off my ass at Three's Company
I don't know if I'm understood
Buy hearing Jimmy Buffett never sounded so good
Your memory's gone and so is your life (your life)
Mota Boy
But losing out just never felt so right
Your enemy's you and so is your life (your life)
Mota Boy
But losing out might feel okay all night
Mota!
I'm driving down to the barrio
Going 15 miles an hour cause I'm already stoned
Give the guy a twenty and wait in the car
He tosses me a baggie then he runs real far
I take a hit but it smells like a clove
Oh fuck I got a baggie of oregano
This ritual is destroying me
But I guess it could be worse
It could be methedrine
Your memory's gone and so is your life (your life)
Mota Boy
But losing out just never felt so right
Your enemy's you and your couch is your life
(Your Life)
Mota Boy
But losing out might take
Losing out might take you all night
Mota!
Losing out might feel okay all night
Okay
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Day after day your home life's a wreck
The powers that be just breathe down your neck
You get no respect, you get no relief
You gotta speak up and yell out your piece
So back off your rules, back off your jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want to be controlled
That's all I want, that's all I want
That's all I want, that's all I want
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
How many times is it gonna take
Till someone around you hears what you say
You've tried being cool, you feel like a lie
You've played by their rules, now it's their turn to try
So back off your rules, back off your jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want to be controlled
That's all I want, that's all I want
That's all I want, that's all I want
I said it before
I'll say it again
If you could just listen
Then it might make sense
So back off your rules, back off your jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want to be controlled
That's all I want, that's all I want
That's all I want
Once you said you'd stick to it until the end
I guess you lied, the call it suicide
Now you're gone
What was so wrong that you couldn't find a way to carry on?
Second guess
Did I do my best?
There was a friend I had
Johnny was a weirdo
So what did you expect?
I ain't no fucking hero
I'm just trying to survive myself
I should have known you went through it alone
I wonder why did you even try?
You could have come to me
I would have helped you see
You could have found a way to carry on
Second guess
Did i do my best?
There was a friend I had...
Johnny's strange behavior was a tip-off, they say
But I ain't no fucking savior
I'm just living day by day
Little things, little lives hanging 'til the end
I say it doesn't really mean nothing
Telling truth, telling lies
I used to have a friend
I say it don't really mean nothing
And I can't let this feeling go
Let this feeling go
When cops are taking care of business I can understand
But the L.A. story's gone way out of hand
acts of aggression, they say they're justified
seems an obsession has started from the inside
They're shooting anyone who even tries to run
They're shooting little kids with toy guns
Take it to a jury but they don't give a damn
the one who tells the truth is always the policeman
CHORUS
Beat all the niggers
Beat whoever you see
Don't need a reason
(We're) L.A.P.D.
City of L.A. feels like a prison
With helicopters overhead and bullets whizzing by
Martial law ain't no solution
Police brutality's just social pollution-Now!!!
Beat all the white trash
Beat whoever you see
Don't need a reason
(We're) L.A.P.D.
They say they're keeping the peace
But I'm not buying it because a billy club ain't much of a pacifier
"Protecting your freedom"
Now that's just a lie
excuse for power that's more like an alibi
Law and order doesn't really matter
When you're the one getting bruisedand battered
You take it to a jury, they'll throw it in your face
Until the break of dawn
Life life
Cannot go by the letter
Time time
Prozac can make it better
Noise noise
Any kind will do
Can you feel it slip away
When it's all on you
Crime crime
Rockin' like Janet Reno
Time time
Eighteen and life in Chino
Freud Freud
All along it's true
Well you'll see there comes a day
Catches up to you
Knock down the walls, it's alive in you
Knock down the place, you're alone it's true
Knock down the world, it's alive in you
You gotta keep your head up through it all
You're gonna
Bust out on it - original prankster
Break out yeah - original yeah
Bust out on it - original prankster
You never stop now, stop now
That's what the main man say
You know it smells like shit
Goddamn
Tag team the double header
Son of Sam
Fire always makes it better
Navigate
With style and aplomb
Cause wherever you're at
That's the tip you's on
Lies, lies
Says he's down in the Bahamas
Tries tries
Bangin' little hoochie mamas
No way
None of this is true
Well he'll see there comes a day
When the joke's on you yeah
Dime dime
So good to see ya
Nine nine
Don't want to be ya
Crime crime
Hey now do you see me down the way
Been watching you everyday
In my car on your street is where I stay
I know you better that way
One day I'll be meeting you for real
You'll feel bad like I feel
It'll blow you away - You're gonna fall for me
And the voices told me
To blow you away - You're gonna fall for me
Hey now well I'm knocking on your door
This special delivery is yours
My infatuation it's true
Hello, I got something for you
It?ll blow you away - You're gonna fall for me
And the voices told me
To blow you away - You're gonna fall for me
If you hadn't sold me
I'd still be away - You're right in front of me
Then, I'll be on my way
Breathing you okay
Can't break from my sins
Cannot pray
But you can't kill a man when he's got no hope
So here we go
Having the same old fight again
There she goes
Same old game that never ends If I could say
The right words
I know I could make you stay
If I could say
The right words
Things would work out all right
And if you go
I won't believe
That it's forever
And you can go
But I'll never leave
Cause it's not over
Replay last night
Talking it out don't make it right
I know she's tried, but my whole world
Is her and all we've got now
And if you go
I won't believe
That it's forever
I won't let go
Even if she say that it's over
I know it'll be
Different this time
If you'd just stay
And when we wrote this story
How did it end?
It was you and me for all our lives
Come on, don?t say it
We'll try again
And if I'd just hold you
We could last
But she stands softly
Tears down her face
Hitting me, oh god
This is the end
I'd wait here for you
But there's nothing more now I can do
How did you know
How did you know
How did you know
Hey Joe,
Where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe,
Where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Goin' down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messing around with another man,
Goin' down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messing around on me,
Hey Joe,
I heard that you shot your old lady down,
Hey Joe,
I heard that you shot your old lady down,
Yes I did, I shot her her
You know, I caught that girl messing around town
Yes I did, I shot her her
You know, I caught that girl messing around town
I took out my gun,
Then I shot her!
I shot her!
Hey Joe,
Where you gonna run to now?
Hey Joe,
Where you gonna run to now?
Where you gonna go?
Ain't no hangman gonna,
Get a rope around me,
Ain't no hangman gonna,
Get a rope around me. (no one gonna)
Goin' way down south,
Way down to Mexico way
Goin' way down south,

And Michelle and Randi, Kamala and Roma
Cynthia and Lisa, Tammi and Virginia
And Stephanie and Jamie-O
These are the girls of the USA
The principal girls of the USA
Can you name, name, name, name them today
You may push me around
But you cannot win
You may throw me down
But I'll rise again
The more you say
The more I defy you
So get out of my face
You cannot stop us
You cannot bring us down
Never give up
We go on and on
You'll never break us
Never bring us down
We are alive!
All my will
All my strength
Rip it out
Start again
The wind blows
I'll lean into the wind
My angle grows
I'll use it to win
The more you say
The more I defy you
So get out of my way
Can you leave it all behind?
Can you leave it all behind?
Cause you can't go back
You can't go back
Hey, come inside
While I stand here acting bold
Can't stand to feel this way
Clear out the cobwebs in my soul
This time I turn around
And things have changed
Now I don't feel the same
Start a fight
I can't defend
One more time
Dammit, I changed again
Now I don't see
Things the way I did before
Can't stand to feel this way
Things important yesterday
Don't matter anymore
It doesn't make any sense
To feel so different day to day
(Can't stand to feel this way)
Hope unkown. Sometimes just waking is surreal.
I walk right through the nameless ones.
I know that hope's unknown.
Sometimes the water feels so real.
As I walk through it fills my lungs, my god, I'm drowning.
This day never seems to end.
This pain, never.
The rage I will not let go.
I hear them calling.
I feel them gnawing out holes through flawless soulds.
So alone. Sometimes I swear that I can hear the taunting of the voiceless ones.
I fear that I alone fear those ceased to feel they're alone inside of this place.
I am the misplaced.
Now every fave, it looks familiar...
then every face would melt away until..
Ahhhhh, it's time to relax,
and you know what that means,
a glass of wine, your favourite easy chair,
and of course this compact disc playing and your home stereo.
So go on, indulge yourself,
that's right, kick off your shoes, put your feet up,
lean back and just enjoy the melodies.
Went out drinking late last night
I had a blast
But now the morning light has come
And kicked my ass
I've got the worst hangover ever
I'm crawling to the bathroom again
It hurts so bad that I'm never gonna drink again
And by my seventh shot
I was invincible
I would have never thought
I'd be this miserable
I've got the worst hangover ever
I'm rolling back and forth on the bed
I'm worked so bad that I'm never gonna drink again
Won't someone just kill me
And put me out of my misery
I'm making deals with God, I'll do anything
Make it stop please!
Make it stop please!
I've got the worst hangover ever
I'm crawling to the bathroom again
It hurts so bad that I'm never gonna drink again
I'll probably never drink again
I may not ever drink again
At least not 'til next weekend
I'm never gonna drink again
We've been playing now for much too long
And never gonna dance to a different song
I'm gonna scream and shout till my dying breath
I'm gonna smash it up till there's nothing left
Ooh smash it up
Smash it up smash it up
Ooh smash it up
Smash it up smash it up
People call me weird, oh it's such a shame
Maybe it's my clothes, must be to blame
I don't even care if I look a mess
Don't wanna be a sucker like all the rest
Smash it up
And you can keep your crystal glasses
Smash it up
And you can see a very dead-way end
Smash it up
And you can stick a frothy lager
Smash it up
Up the fuck with your lesson
We've been playing now for much too long
And never gonna dance to a different song
I'm gonna scream and shout till my dying breath
I'm gonna smash it up till there's nothing left
And everybody's smashing things down
Diamonds and dust
(home at last) Poor man last, rich man first
Lambourginis, caviar
Dry martinis, Shangri-la
I got a burning feeling
Deep inside of me
It's yearning
But I'm going to set it free
I'm going in to sin city
I'm gonna win in sin city
Where the lights are bright
Do the town tonight
I'm gonna win in sin city
(I'm gonna rule you baby)
Ladders and snakes
Ladders give, snakes take
Rich man, poor man, beggarman, thief
Ain't got a hope in hell, that's my belief
Fingers Freddy, Diamond Jim
They're getting ready, (Better get ready,)
Look out I'm coming in ('cause I'm coming in)
So spin that wheel, cut that pack
And roll those loaded dice
Bring on the dancing girls

I heard you on my wireless back in '52
Lying awake intent on tuning in on you
If I was young it didn't stop you coming through
Oh-a-oh
They took the credit for your second symphony
Rewritten by machine on new technology
And now I understand the supernova scene
Oh-a-oh
I met your children
Oh-a-oh
What did you tell them?
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
In my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone too far
And now we meet in an abandoned studio
You hear the playback and it seems so long ago
And you remember, the jingles used to go,
Oh-a-oh
You were the first one
Oh-a-oh
You were the last one
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Cause in my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone too far
To far!
Alright
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Cause in my mind and in my car, we can't rewind we've gone too far
Pictures came and broke your heart
So put all the blame on VCR
You are the radio star
You are the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed the radio star
Video killed that radio star yes it did
Before you started tokin' you used to have a brain
But now you don't get even the simplest of things
I can draw a little picture
Or even use my hands
I try to explain but you just don't understand
Man you're really losin' it
And you've really done a lot of junk now
But you keep on abusin' it
What in the world happened to you
It's bad enough you do it to yourself
But taking someone with you
Well you know that's something else
I say I'm not that kind of person
I'm not that kind of man
I try to explain but you just don't understand
I might be sympathetic or cut a little slack
If I thought that you were willing to give a little back
But you do it in the morning
You do it in the night
You lie to refrain from just facing your life
So I'll see you tomorrow
You'll be gackin' up again
I'll see you in a coffin by the time your wad is spent
I think of all the times that I tried to lend a hand
Nothing changes cause it's all the same
The world you get's the one you give away
It all just happens again
Way down the line
There is a chain that's never broken
You know the story it's sad but true
An angry man gets drunk and beats his kids
The same old way his drunken father did
What comes around well it goes around
Nothing changes cause it's all the same
The world you get's the one you give away
It all just happens again
Way down the line
At 17 Shannon is pregnant
As young as her mom when she had her
Her kid is never gonna have a dad
The same old way that Shannon never had
What comes around well it goes around
Nothing changes cause it's all the same
The world you get's the one you give away
It all just happens again
Way down the line
And all the things you learn when you're a kid
You'll fuck up just like your parents did
It all just happens again
Way down the line
And welfare moms have kids on welfare
And fat parents they have fat kids too
You know it's never gonna end
The same old cycle's gonna start again
Now I could lie by your side
All serrated for you
Down below cancer grows
Weeping waits inside you too
All our rage begs a stage
It's a waste of time though
And you style seems worthwhile
But this lonely road has turned And you faded there
They pretend to care
Vultures waiting
If you don't like me
Certify Me Yeah - I don't know
Yeah - I won't go
Yeah - save it I'm okay
And in the sun a loaded gun
Makes for conversation
All the while in denial
It's too late for me to change
And you were unchained
Nothing more had changed
I could fake it
If you still hate me
Confiscate me
Oh we're jaded - I don't know
Overrated - I won't go
All serrated - Save it I'm okay
When you won't go along
Some will feel like you can't find your way
Heaven knows
Heaven knows I've seen it all before
Now don't get me wrong
I've seen many a life gone astray
When someone goes
All your bows won't make it any better so let it go
CHORUS
Shut up and take it like a man
You need us to get a life
For your own good we'll take you by the hand
'Cause you need a little more
Maybe no one will say it
Maybe no one's aware it goes on
All I know
All I know it's like going off the deep end
Could you make a decision?
Could you think for yourself and go on?
Everyone knows
Everyone knows you've got to fit into the mainstream so save your woes
CHORUS
Close your eyes
Look away now
Make believe while you can
So you'd best go along
Don't let on if you can't find your way
Many more
Many more do it for you
Because heaven knows
Heaven knows it's like playing with fire
Your life's a throw
CHORUS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you won't go along

CHORUS
In a world without leaders
Who'd start all the wars?
The world that you're saving
Will always be yours
Kill the president, listen to the voice of reason
Unify with that single line
Stop the man with the power of the government
my girlfriend, my dumb donut
went out to a party just the other night
but 3 hours later and 7 shots of jager,
she was in the bedroom with another guy
and i don't really want to know
so don't tell me anymore
and i really don't want to hear
about her feet all up in the air
and well, i'm not the one who acted like a hoe
why must i be the one who has to know?
i'm not the one who messed up big time
so spare me the details, if you don't mind
now i can understand friends who want to tell me
think they're gonna help me open up my eyes
but the play-by-play makes me want to lose it
everytime you do it, man, it turns the knife
and i don't really want to know
so don't tell me anymore
and i really don't want to hear
about her feet all up in the air
and well, i'm not the one who acted like a hoe
why must i be the one who has to know?
i'm not the one who messed up big time
so spare me the details, if you don't mind
now i don't need to hear about the sounds they were making
and i don't need to hear about how long he was taking
or how the walls, they were shaking
now i'm lying in bed, wallowing in sorrow
missing the tomorrow that we could have had
running through my head, over and over
things i never told her now just make me sad
and it drives me insane, sitting with a vision
stuck with that image burned into my brain
and i feel so dumb that i could ever trust her
but someone else f***ed her, then he walked away
and i don't really want to know
so don't tell me anymore
and i really don't want to hear
about her feet all up in the air
and so, i'm not the one who acted like a hoe
why must i be the one who has to know?
i'm not the one who messed up big time
so spare me the details, if you don't mind
(Cause I don't wanna know)
(don't wanna know)Spare me the details if you dont mind
(don't wanna know)
how ya do in tenchi why me why me
how ya do in tenchi why me why me
how ya do in tenchi why me why me
and all the girlies say im pretty fly for a rabbi
our temples had a fair ship
there rabbis in the past
but most of them are moonlicks
and none of them were last
but our new guys a coacher
i think he'll do the trick
I'll tell ya hes got time for
he really knows his stick
so how bout you

and maybe britney spears

he shops at the dicout sourcer
just any will safice
he has to find a bargain
cause he cant believe the price
he never asks for sugar
and he's hardley ate a meal
but if you wanna hag away he'll make you such a deal
You know it's kind of hard
Just to get along today
Our subject isn't cool
But he fakes it anyway
He may not have a clue
And he may not have style
But everything he lacks
Well he makes up in denial
So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabe's
So do that brand new thing
He needs some cool tunes
Not just any will suffice
But they didn't have Ice Cube
So he bought Vanilla Ice
Now cruising in his Pinto, he sees homies as he pass
But if he looks twice
They're gonna kick his lily ass
Now he's getting a tattoo
He's gettin' ink done
He asked for a '13', but they drew a '31'
Friends say he's trying too hard
And he's not quite hip
But in his own mind
He's the dopest trip
So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabe's
The world loves wannabe's
So let's get some more wannabe's
And do that brand new thing
I don't know when it got this way
I don't know how long she's gonna stay
Every week it's the same in her room
That's why I came
Here I go, here I go again
Our rendezvous never seem to end
I know where I'll be, I'll make this confession
Back in her bed for another goddamn session
I'll never learn
God knows I try
Keep coming back for session
And I don't know why
I'll never learn, I'll never see
Just tell me why these sessions got a hold on me
Some might say it's a fling
For all I know it don't mean a thing
Either way I can't complain
Ain't no strings
Guess I got it made
Here I go, I go again
Our rendezvous never seem to end
I know where I'll be
I'll make this confession
(I realize)
All I want
All I need
Always lies just out of reach
I've been coming up empty
(I realize)
I run as fast as I can run
I pushed as hard as anyone
But still there's nothing for me
(And I want)
I've tried as hard as I can
(And I need)
I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall)
But I am running a race
Against myself, against myself, yeah
(I realize)
Running out, struggle on
Now my sorrow is my song
My whole world is half parted
(I realize)
For my pain I have none
After all is said and done
Now I'm back where I started
(And I want)
I've gone as far as I can
(And I need)
I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall)
But I am running a race
Against myself, against myself, yeah
(And I want)
I've tried as hard as I can
(And I need)
I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall)
But I am losing the race
Against myself, against myself, yeah
I saw a little kid
As he walked around
He picked a candy bar up
Off the ground
He chowed about a half
Then his face turned blue
Turned out that candy bar was doggy-doo
Don't pick it up I say
Unless you can throw it away
Don't pick it up I say
You're gonna be bummed that you went that way
You're out there makin' bacon
No scrutiny
You mess around too much
And you got VD
You know you never think
And you're sore today
You're gonna take it back to California
Don't pick it up I say
Unless you can throw it away
Don't pick it up I say
You're gonna be bummed that you went that way
My friend was kinda hurtin'
For a girl to try
He saw one that looked like Pat
On Saturday Night Live
It had a pair of thingies
But a mustache too
Not clearly male nor female
So now what to do
Don't pick it up I say
Unless you can throw it away
Don't pick it up I say
[Originally by Police]
I can't stand it for another day
When you live so many miles away.
Nothing here is gonna make me stay,
(You) took me over, let me find a way.
I sold my house
I sold my motor, too.
All I want is to be Next To You.
I'd rob a bank
Maybe steal a plane.
You took me over,
Think I'm goin' insane.
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you.
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you.
I've had a thousand girls or maybe more,
But I've never felt like this before.
But I just don't know what's come over me,
You took me over, take a look at me.
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you.
What can I do,
All I want is to be next to you.
All I want is to be next to you,
All I want is to be next to you,
All I want is to be next to you.
So many times I used to give a sign
Got this feeling, gonna lose my mind.
When all it is is just a love affair.
You took me over baby, take me there.
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you
What can I do
All I want is to be next to you.
Whaohohohohohohohoh
On a mission started by my own admission,
I will leave you all behind.
By direction I'll create my own protection,
the real me you'll never find.
Aspirations turn to fear and desperation,
Nothing's ever good enough for you,
Burn in sorrow 'cause I see there's no tomorrow,
You'll only seeing what I want you to
Never gonna find me,
Never gonna find me,
Well, way down deep inside there is the real me,
I'm always gonna hide and this is who you'll see.
Never gonna find me,
Never gonna find me,
Well, way down deep inside they haven't found me yet,
I'm always gonna hide and this is who you'll get.
Whaohohohohohohohoh
On a mission to establish my attrition
you may think that you have won.
Your rejection has bought on my introspection,
I'll escape I'll only run.
Accusations may destroy my motivation
I can feel it when you're pushing me.
Burn in sorrow 'cause I see there's no tomorrow,
Only I know which me you'll see.
Never gonna find me,
Never gonna find me,
Well, way down deep inside there is the real me,
I'm always gonna hide and this is who you'll see.
Never gonna find me,
Never gonna find me,
Well, way down deep inside they haven't found me yet,
I'm always gonna hide and this is who you'll get.
Whaohohohohohohohoh
Break away.
Run.
Down inside.
I've got to push it away.
Down.
I did not choose this.
God Dammit!
I don't really now, what I wanna say,
I can't afford the throw, can't make it go away now.
Try to make it through, fuck your decision,
I can feel myself but I'm burning up now.
Whaooh oooh (never gonna find me)
Whaooh Whaooh (never gonna find me)
Whaooh Whaooh (never gonna)
Whaooh Whaooh
Whaooh Whaooh
Whaooh Whaooh
If I had a perfect day
I would have it start this way
Open up the fridge and have a tall boy
Yeah
Then I'd meet up with my friends
Head out to the game again
We don't even really care who wins
Now excitement seems to grow
When we're hangin' with the bro's
When we're chillin' and we pound a case of Stroh's
Now the game is cool to see
You can "High 5" on TV
Count the riot on the one two three
Operation is in sight
And the field is open wide
When you break it then you know you're still alive
If the cops don't make you pay
And you make your getaway
Then you know
That's one fine day
On that day before we're through
We could torch a car or two
Then have ourselves another tall boy
Yeah
Water hoses and batons
That's the real game that's on
I don't really give a shit who wins
I believe it's my god-given right
To destroy everything in my sight
Cause it never gets dull, it never gets old
The only thing it gets is more bold
Drinkin', fightin', going to the game
In our world it's a way to stay sane
If you're asking me
To have it my way, I'd say that's
Lay awake
I don't give a shit
If I even ever wake up in the morning
Down below
There's a pile of sin
Always waiting for a
Waiting for a warning
Burned at the stake
Inside I'm blistering
Not a whisper
Looking in you'd never know it
Miles below
I look up again
When you snap they say
Before you never show it
Someone said it's all right
Save it now, don't say it for my sake
Someone said it's all right
Faster now, you know I got no brakes
Fuses glow
Wounds festering
Till the wind comes up
And takes it to the last pow
Back and forth
Staring at the wall
This room's a cage
I know that something's got to give now
Someone said it's all right
Save it now, don't say it for my sake
Someone said it's all right
Our generation sees the world
not the same as before
We might as well just throw it all
And live like there's no tomorrow
There's no tomorrow
We are the ones
Who are living under the gun every day
You might be gone before you know
So live like there's no tomorrow
Ain't gonna waste this life
There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me
Believe it
The official view of the world has changed
In a whole new way
Live fast cause if you don't take it
You'll never make it
So if you understand me
And if you feel the same
Then you will know what nitro means
You'll live like there's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna waste this life
There's no tomorrow - you ain't gonna live it for me
Never knew where to go
Never used to go to at night
Thinking but I didn't know
Never could seem to get it right
But I've made up my mind
Yeah I've made up my mind
I wanna feel important
I wanna feel alive
Don't talk to me
Don't talk to you
You know I'm lying
You know the truth
Yeah, I'm on a Mission From God
It sounds kinda crazy but I like it a lot
I'm an answer to the man up above
It's me he's speaking of
Yeah, so I'm just a fortunate son?
Everybody wants to be the chosen one
I'm on a mission
I'm on a mission from God
I went to Pensacola just to get an opinion
A perfect California get it straight in my mind
Take a new road, take a new direction
Maybe going to get it right
But I've made up my mind
Yeah I've made up my mind
I wanna feel important
I wanna feel alive
Don't talk to me
Don't talk to you
You know I’m lying
You know the truth
Yeah, I'm on a mission from God
It sounds kinda crazy but I like it a lot
I'm an answer to the man up above
It's me he's speaking of
Yeah, so I'm just a fortunate son?
Everybody wants to be the chosen one
I'm on a mission
I'm on a mission from God
If I could save the world
I might do it
I just might do it
Now it’s up to me
So are you worth it?
Are you really worth it?
If I can save the world
Yeah I'm on a Mission From God
Sounds kinda crazy but I like it a lot
I'm an answer to the man up above
It's me he's speaking of
On a mission, on a mission, on a mission, a mission, a mission, mission, mission, mission
Yeah I'm on a mission
My girlfriend, my dumb donut
Went up to a party just the other night
But three hours later and seven shots of yager
She was in the bedroom with another guy
And I don't really wanna know
So don't tell me anymore
And I really don't wanna hear
About her feet all up in the air
And well I'm not the one who acted like a hoe
Why must I be the one who has to know?
I'm not the one who messed up big time
So spare me the details if you don't mind
Now I can understand friends who wanna tell me
They think they're gonna help me, open up my eyes
But the play by play makes me wanna lose it
Everytime you do it man, it turns the knife
And I don't really wanna know
So don't tell me anymore
And I really don't wanna hear
About her feet all up in the air
And well I'm not the one who acted like a hoe
Why must I be the one who has to know?
I'm not the one who messed up big time
So spare me the details if you don't mind
Now I don't need to hear about the sounds they were makin'
And I don't need to hear about how long it was takin'
Or how the walls they were shakin'
Now lying in bed wallowing in sorrow
Missin' the tommorow that we could of had
Running through my head, over and over
Things I never told her that just made me sad
And it drives me insane sittin with a vision
stuck with that image burned into my brain
And I feel so dumb that I could ever trust her
When someone else fucked her, then walked away
And I don't really wanna know
So don't tell me anymore
And I really don't wanna hear
About her feet all up in the air
And so I'm not the one who acted like a hoe
Why must I be the one who has to know?
I'm not the one who messed up big time
So spare me the details if you don't mind
Cuz I don't wanna know
Don't wanna know
(Spare me the details if you don't mind)
Don't wanna know
(Spare me the details if you don't mind)
Don't wanna know...
When cops are taking care of business I can understand
But the L.A. story's gone way out of hand
Their acts of aggression, they say they're justified
But it seems an obsession has started from the inside
They're shooting anyone who even tries to run
They're shooting little kids with toy guns
Take it to a jury but they don't give a damn
Because the one who tells the truth is always the policeman
CHORUS
Beat all the niggers
Beat whoever you see
Don't need a reason
(We're) L.A.P.D.
The city of L.A. feels like a prison
With helicopters overhead and bullets whizzing by
Martial law ain't no solution
Police brutality's just social pollution
Beat all the white trash
Beat whoever you see
Don't need a reason
(We're) L.A.P.D.
They say they're keeping the peace
But I'm not buying it because a billy club ain't much of a pacifier
"Protecting your freedom"
Now that's just a lie
It's an excuse for power that's more like an alibi
Law and order doesn't really matter
When you're the one getting bruised and battered
You take it to a jury, they'll throw it in your face
Because justice in L.A. comes in a can of mace
CHORUS
Somewhere the time was right, could have been gone in ten
This world is hard to fight, hitting you once, hit it again
To know the way it feels, everyone gets knocked down
When you get up it?s real, by taking it back, turn it around
Get on it, up on it
Get on it - wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, out on it
Get on it - no one?s gonna free you
You know, when you?re keeping it slow
No matter where you wanna go - wouldn?t wanna be you
Get on it, up on it
It's on - we're living in chaos
Somewhere along the line, things get chipped away
This place keeps going down, gets a little worse every day
I see hate and greed, this world?s a messed up town
He's a pistol grip
And a lightning rod hammer step
He always busts his knuckles
When he's wrenchin' up his shit
He just a Killboy Powerhead...yeah
You know I saw his woman
She was writing his name in blood
You know I saw his woman
Hard as a rock
She said she was his baby
Who looked just like the Hoover Dam
You know I saw his woman
Hard as a rock
He just a Killboy Powerhead
Killboy Powerhead
Killboy Powerhead
You gotta' keep'em separated
(Verse 1)
Like the latest fashion
Like a spreading disease
The kids are strappin' on their way to the classroom
Getting weapons with the greatest of ease
The gangs stake their own campus locale
And if they catch you slippin' then it's all over pal
If one guys colors and the others don't mix
They're gonna bash it up, bash it up, bash it up, bash it up...
(Chorus)
Hey - man you talkin' back to me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey - man you disrespecting me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey they don't pay no mind
If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time
Hey come out and play
(Verse 2)
By the time you hear the siren
It's already too late
One goes to the morgue and the other to jail
One guy's wasted and the other's a waste
It goes down the same as the thousand before
No one's getting smarter
No one's learning the score
Your never ending spree of death and violence and hate
Is gonna tie your own rope, tie your own rope, tie your own...
(Chorus)
(Repeat from *)
Demons (a Mexican fiesta)
Clouds pass over the moon
Like an eye that shows impending doom
Tension in this misty air
Souls pass into the room
Drawn in by a lost memory
You will join them in the moonlight
You are my offering
Your soul transcends
The centuries of pain
Your misery in life
Is your ecstasy in death
Time passes like the wind
As we race to beat days dusky grin
Mornings just a moment away
Your body glistens in candlelight
As we all look on in fiendish delight
The ritual is just beginning
Come full fill the prophecy
With our demons of debauchery
As virgins and spectres sing
This madness will never cease
In the dead of night
You will follow
In the footsteps of many others
Who have come before
I will show you the altar
Your aztec eyes, egyptian hair
Your beauty bestoved upon my lair
I've loved you before, in other lives
But you're never meant as much to me
Never meant as much to me as now
In this night of sacrifice
where blood is spilt
That will never spill again
But in your linen robes
We want you now
We want you now
You could never ask for more than that
You are my offering
Your soul transcends
The centuries of pain
Your misery in life
Is your ecstasy in
Come full fill the prophecy
With our demons of debauchery
This madness will never cease
Once I had a friend that I could count on
So I thought
Well so it seemed
But times of need are not enough
To prove your friendship to me now
Once I saw a face that I believed in
But a mask was all there was
So who wears the masks and who wears the faces
Well I guess I'll never know
But as I stand here alone in a room full of people
With nothing to say
Beer on their minds, and smoke in the air
Call them feiends but they just don't care
Friend for life
Such shallow words for brokrn minds
Show me a friend for life
Cause I'll be waiting for that day to arrive
When I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day
Once I found a love I had to know
Now we might know each other just too well
Cause when we're together we just can't get enough
Or is it we just can't get what we want
Once I saw a dream, I had to chase it
Dreams quickly turn to reality
Who's at fault in this game of yours and mine
Well I guess I'll never know
But as I sit here alone
Think of the girl who came softly inside me
The look in her eyes, the smell of her hair
Call her my own but is she really there?
Love for life
Such noble words for noble minds
Show me a love for life
Cause I'll be waiting for that day to arrive
When I'll feel alive
I'll be waiting for that day
Once I had a friend that I could count on
Times of need are not enough
Once I found a love I had to know
Now we might know each other just too well
Once I saw a dream I had to chase it
Dreams quickly turn to reality
Now let me close my eyes
Look at me I'm fallin'
Off of a cliff now
I can still hear my mama yelling No No No
But the words mean nothing
Can't catch up to me now
And the view is so beautiful
All the way down
When I was a little boy
Suckin' juice from a bottle
Believing my perceptions were oh so real
But I don't know nothing
Still knowing nothing
Was just enough for me to know the way I feel
This is life
What a fucked up thing we do
What a nightmare come true
Or a playground if we choose
And I choose
Look at me I'm swollen
Like a banana fish now
I'm never gonna make it out of my hole
But I keep on laughing
Doesn't really matter
There's dozens of reasons for explaining my soul
When I was a teenager
Suckin' booze with the Vatos
Discussing who was gonna live to be 21
They said they wouldn't make it
They didn't make it
We're all naked when the day is said and done
This is life
What a fucked up thing we do
What a nightmare come true
Or a playground if we choose
And I choose
Don't know who made this all come true
But now while you're here
You just gotta do what you gotta do
Now if I wasn't such a weenie
Do you think you'd still love me
Pretending I'm an airplane on the living
Room floor
But like a lovely generator
You stand right by me
And if words were wisdom I'd be talking
Even more
So I keep on falling
As I'm looking back above me
Watching as my mama just becomes a little dot
Now I'm like DeNiro
I'm amarillo
Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal it's so unfair
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away
Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
But black roses and Hail Mary's
Can't bring back what's taken from me
I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away
Gone away
Gone away
Yeah
Può darsi che in un'altra vita
io potrei incontrarti
Strappata via prima del tempo
Non riesco ad accettare questa ingiustizia
E sembra che...
Sembra che
il paradiso è così lontano
E ci si sente
Sì, ci si sente come se
Il mondo sia diventato freddo
Adesso che te ne sei andata via.
Lasciare fiori sulla tua tomba
Mostrano quanto io ti voglia ancora bene
Ma le rose nere e la grandine
Non possono riportare indietro ciò che mi è stato tolto.
Tendo le braccia verso il cielo
E grido il tuo nome
E se potessi fare a cambio
Vorrei...
E sembra che...
Sembra che
il paradiso sia così lontano
E fa male
Sì, fa male...
Il mondo è così freddo
Adesso che te ne sei andata via.
Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal it's so unfair
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away
Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
But black roses and Hail Mary's
Can't bring back what's taken from me
I reach to the sky
And call out your name And if I could trade
I would
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold Now that you've gone away
(the songs calle have you ever)
Falling, I'm falling
Have you ever walked through a room
But it was more like the room passed around you
Like there was a leash around your neck that pulled you through
Have you ever been at someplace
Recognizing everybody's face
Until you realized that there was no one there you knew
Well I know
Some days, my soul's confined and out of mind
Sleep forever
Some days, I'm so outshined and out of time
Have you ever
Falling, I'm falling
Have you ever buried your face in your hands
Cause no one around you understands
Or has the slightest idea what it is that makes you be
Have you ever felt like there was more
Like someone else was keeping score
And what could make you whole was simply out of reach
Well I know
Someday I'll try again and not pretend
This time forever
Someday I'll get it straight but not today
Have you ever
Falling, I'm falling
Some days, my soul's confined and out of mind
Sleep forever
Some days, my darkest friend is me again
Have you ever
Someday I'll try again and not pretend
This time forever
Someday I'll get it straight but not today
Have you ever
When the truth walks away
Everybody stays
Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay
So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay
Cause I'd like to think the world is a better place
When the truth walks away
Everybody stays
Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay
So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay
Cause I'd like to make the world be a better place
When the truth walks away
Everybody stays
Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay
So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay
Cause I'd like to think the world is a better place
I'd like to leave the world as a better place
I'd like to think the world
I'm getting edgy all the time
There's someone around me just a step behind
It's kinda scary the , the shape I'm in
The walls are shakin'and they' re closing in
Too fast or a bit too slow
I'm paranoid of people and it's starting to show
There' s one guy that I can't shake
Over my shoulder is a big mistake
Sitting on the bed
Or lying wide awake
There's demons in my head
And it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll
But I think it's kinda weak
Saying all I know is
I gotta get away from me
I tell you something just ain't right
My head is on loose but my shoes are tight
Avoiding my fiends cause they all bug
Life is like a riddle and I'm really stumped
If you reason, don't you know
Your own preoccupation is where you'll go
I think I'm being followed, I look around
You gotta keep 'em separated
Like the latest fashion
Like a spreading disease
The kids are strappin' on their way to the classroom
Getting weapons with the greatest of ease
The gangs stake their own campus locale
And if they catch you slippin' then it's all over pal
If one guys colors and the others don't mix
They're gonna bash it up
Hey - man you talkin' back to me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey - man you disrespecting me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey they don't pay no mind
If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time
Hey come out and play
By the time you hear the siren
It's already too late
One goes to the morgue and the other to jail
One guy's wasted and the other's a waste
It goes down the same as the thousand before
No one's getting smarter
No one's learning the score
Your never ending spree of death and violence and hate
Is gonna tie your own rope
I woke the other day
And saw my world has changed
The past is over but tomorrow?s wishful thinking
I can?t hold onto what?s been done
I can?t grab onto what?s to come
And I?m just wishing I could stop
But life goes on
Come of age
Can?t hold on
Turn the page
Time rolls on
Wipe these eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow cries
Memories are bittersweet
The good times we can?t repeat
Those days are gone and we can never get them back
Now we must move ahead
Despite our fear and dread
We?re all just wishing we could stop
But life goes on
Come of age
Can?t hold on
Turn the page
Time rolls on
Wipe your eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow cries
With all our joys and fears
Wrapped in forgotten years
The past is laughing as today just slips away
Time tears down what we've made
And sets another stage
And I?m just wishing we could stop
Life goes on
Come of age
Can?t hold on
Turn the page
Time rolls on
Wipe these eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow cries
I think I'm burning up inside
I think I'll take a little ride
I'm gonna light up everything in sight
I'll drive on by your yard
And throw a Molotov cocktail at your car
Then another in the local bar
Ignition
They call it an obsession but I think it's kinda bitchin'
I think it's kinda neat
Yeah, I'm a pyro
I wanna burn it up
Yeah, I'm a pyro
Tonight this 'hood will be a pyre
I'm gonna set your house on fire
I'll dance around the pretty flames
Such a wonderful game!
I want to make a tiki torch
I'm gonna throw it on your porch
Then I'm gonna run away
And come back another day
So many houses, so little time
So many reasons, I'm not a crime
I'd like to set you up
In this world of hate and shallowness
Where enemies become your consolation
And those of us who win the game give up their minds
I don't call that winning
Say this doesn't apply to you
But ask yourself first
What have I won today to win the game
And just what have I scarified
Win the battle or lose the war
I know I've played this game before
When people were still real
I don't want this anymore
It's time for me to close the door
There's nothing left to feel
Reflect on all out yesterdays
My own words choke me, why were they spoken
Regret for things I've said and done just can't compare with
Regret for that I have never tried
So blame this world or blame yourself
It's really all the same
When you are standing on that precipice
From which you just cannot return
Win the battle or lose the war
I know I've played this game before
When people were still real
I don't want this anymore
It's time for me to close the door
There's nothing left to feel
In the style of forgotten men
I look to my horizon - I see nothing
While thoughts of guns and desecration sweep through my mind
But only coffins and bones remain
As I look to you, the emptiness behind your eyes seals my decision
Can't carry on in a world of jugglers where all this thoughtlessness
And bludgeoning your key to success
What kind of tradition to carry on
Blackball - The new disease
Blackball - The new disease
Blackball - Your evil ways have found their way inside me
Blackball - The new disease
Blackball - The new disease
Sometimes I think I'm gonna drown
Cause everyone around's so hollow
I'm alone
Sometimes I think I'm going down
But no one makes a sound
They follow
And I'm alone
Yeah if I make it I'd be amazed
Just to find tomorrow
One more day and I'd be amazed
Just to see it waiting
And if I make it I'm still alone
No more hope for better days
But if I could change
Then I'd really be amazed
And when you know you can't relate
To one more shiny face
Your heart breaks
No one cares
And when you know you can't go on
Cause everything is wrong
Your heart breaks
But no one's there
You gotta keep 'em separated
Like the latest fashion
Like a spreading disease
The kids are strappin' on their way to the classroom
Getting weapons with the greatest of ease
The gangs stake their own campus locale
And if they catch you slippin' then it's all over pal
If one guy's colors and the other's don't mix
They're gonna bash it up bash it up bash it up bash it up
Hey man you talkin' back to me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey man you disrespecting me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey they don't pay no mind
If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time
Hey come out and play
By the time you hear the siren
It's already too late
One goes to the morgue and the other to jail
One guy's wasted and the other's a waste
It goes down the same as the thousands before
No one's getting smarter
No one's learning to score
Your never ending spree of death and violence and hate
Is gonna tie your own rope tie your own rope tie your own
Hey man you disrespecting me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey man you talkin' back to me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey they don't pay no mind
If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time
Hey come out and play
[Repeat last verse from 'It goes down..' and first chorus]
Hey man you know I'm really okay
The gun in my hand will tell you the same
But when I'm in my car
Don't give me no crap
Cause the slightest thing and I just might snap
When I go driving I stay in my lane
But getting cut off it makes me insane
I open the glove box
Reach inside
I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride
I guess I got a bad habit
Of blowin' away
Yeah I got a bad habit
And it ain't goin' away Yeah
Well they say the road is a dangerous place
If you flip me off I'm the danger you'll face
If you drive on my ass
Your foot's on the gas
And your next breath is your last
Drivers are rude
Such attitudes
But when i show my peace
Complaints cease
Something's odd
I Feel like I'm god
You stupid dumbshit goddam motherfucker
I open the glove box
Reach inside
I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride
My friend's got a girlfriend and he hates that bitch
He tells me everyday
He says I've really gotta lose my chic
In the worst kind of way
She sits on her ass
He works his hands to the bone
To give her money every payday
She wants more dinero just sit at home
Well my friend you gotta say
[chorus]
I won't pay
I won't pay
A NO waaaay
A nana why don't you get a job
Say no way
Say no way
A no waaay
A nana won't get you a job
I guess all his money
Well it isn't enough
To keep her bill collectors at bay
I guess all his money
Well it isn't enough
Cause that girls got expensive taste
[chorus]
Well I guess it ain't easy doin nothin at all
Wo yeah
But hey man free rides don't just come along everyday
{lemme tell yah bout my other friend now}
My friend's got a boyfriend and she she hates that dick {that's right}
She tells me everyday
He wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well my friend you gotta say
[chorus]
I won't give you no money
I always pay
A nana won't you get a job
Say no way
Say no way
Ah no waay
A naba won't you get a jooob
Now that's something everyone can enjoy!
It's a thing that's worth having
Yes I would
Buys you your life sir
If it could
I want you
Autonomy
It leaves us all wondering
And it should
This awkward something
For the good
I want you
Autonomy
Yes, I,
I want you
80 times was all it took for him he has no more tries
No one seems to care too much for him
You can see it in his eyes
Drive down the street that he's on
Don't look his way
You keep going on and on and on
But you can't hear him say
Help Help
Help Me
Well our souls are all mistaken in the same misguided way
We all end up forsaken, we're just choosing our own way
The future now incinerates before our very eyes
And leaves us with the emptiness of no more tries
Well our visions of glory have spiraled down the drain
The best of our intentions comes crashing down in flames
The depths of our despair we are unable to contain
It's shallow living
The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
A truth appalling
Our mak'r comes a-calling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
Well the tracers from yesteryear are burning in the dust
Your bruises are reminders of naivete and trust
You're only feeling stronger 'cause your body's getting numb
Now I lay you down
Put the coins in your eyes
And blow the candles out
No more!
No more!
Nothing!
No more!
No more!
Ever!
I'm driving down a dusty road
I've got nowhere to go
No place that I can call my own
On and on this road is burning
I'm leaving all this crap behind
The past is gone, the future's blind
Don't care how long it takes this time
On and on I'll take the long way home
The long way home
The long way home
If it's for me it's on the way home
Like fragments of a broken mind
I splinter by my own design
This search is not a waste of time
On and on this road keeps burning
My hands are glued upon the wheel
The road ahead is all I feel
The only thing left that's real
On and on I'll take this long way home
The long way home
The long way home
I will go alone
I will go and find it on my own
What lies ahead
You cannot find for me
Words, they're just words
Drowning your sorrows,
They're just words.
Today I think I sold my soul,
I couldn't run away
My spirit feeling cold.
Well, I
I Stay And Hide
And I wait
I wait here
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Life, It's just life
Messed up like my brain
It's just life.
Well I tuck myself in
And get the hell out
There are no more feelings
Expect for self-doubt
Well, I
I Stay and Hide
And I Wait
I Wait Here (x2)
You never ever meant the words you said
That's what you said to me
But I'm drowning in a sea of superiority
Life is just a dream
Well, I
I Stay and Hide
And I Wait
I Wait Here
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Anytime I want I got a right to move
No matter what they say
Anytime I want I got a right to move
No matter what they say
I got a right, I got a right to move
Anytime I want, anytime
I got a right, I got a right to move
Anytime I want
Anytime I want I got a right to sing
No matter what they say
Anytime I want I got a right to sing
No matter what they say
I got a right, I got a right to sing
Anytime I want
I got a right, I got a right to sing
Been reaching for a reason for the pain has come
Been waiting for a season when the healing's done
Well...
Line up in black and white
This blood runs red both sides
Broken in two, hurting as one
Hurting as one
Hurting as one
Hurting as one
Hurting as...
See the battle that is raging in our hearts and minds
Hear their voices and their shouting at the other's crimes
Well...
Our past lives dressed in white
We're all just dragged to the fight
Broken in two, hurting as one
Hurting as one
Hurting as one
Hurting as one
Hurting as...
Line up in black and white
(Black and white)
This blood runs red both sides
Our past now thrown aside
(Thrown aside)
We're all just dragged to the fight
Broken in two... Hurting as one
Hurting as one
Hurting as one
Hurting as one
We could be one
We could be one
Coming undone
We could be one
Ask me no questions and I'll tell you
I'll tell you no lies
When all is said and done
Does it really matter who's wrong or right
Don't ask me for a reason, I cant explain
Why hurt one other again and again
As I lie bleeding here I still
Still reach for you
A thousand days
Have passed away
A thousand days
Were captured in her eyes
Your eyes are open now but you know
It's still hard to see inside
When action and intention
Are two separated things
Now I somehow wish I could explain
Why we hurt one another again and again
Like someone on his dying breath
I still reach for you
Forever we've been
Trapped by our hearts
Trapped by our minds
I'd like to leave
I'd like to win at love
But I just can't let it go
And I just can't watch it slipping away
And I just can't let it go
And I just can't stand another minute
Maybe now someday our shattered live
Will mend themselves again
But now a million miles away
I wish I still could
And though I somehow know, I can't explain
Why we hurt one other again and again
Like someone on his dying breath
My friend's got a girlfriend
Man he hates that bitch
He tells me every day
He says "man I really gotta lose my chick
In the worst kind of way"
She sits on her ass
He works his hands to the bone
To give her money every payday
But she wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well my friend
You gotta say
I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way
Why don't you get a job
Say no way, say no way, no way
Why don't you get a job
I guess all his money, well it isn't enough
To keep her bill collectors at bay
I guess all his money, well it isn't enough
Cause that girl's got expensive taste
I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way
Why don't you get a job
Say no way, say no way, no way
Why don't you get a job
Well I guess it ain't easy doing nothing at all
But hey man free rides just don't come along
every day
(Let me tell you about my other friend now)
My friend's got a boyfriend, man she hates that dick(and guy)
She tells me every day(hey now)
He wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well my friend
You gotta say
I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way
Why don't you get a job
Say no way, say no way, no way
Why don't you get a job
We are one with ourselves
We don't give a shit about anyone else
Well it won't be wrong until our day
In the sun is gonna stop
The walls come tumbling down
We are one, we are free
We are headed for obscurity
We are one, we are weak
We are gonna make ourselves extinct
We are one you know it's true
Don't fuck with us or we'll fuck with you
It's a mentality that kills the best
We better stop
The walls come tumbling down
We are one, we are free
We are headed for obscurity
We are one, we are weak
We are gonna make ourselves extinct
We are one and it won't be news
When we hang ourselves with one collective noose
Well, it won't be wrong until our day
In the sun is gonna stop
The walls come tumbling down
We are one, we are free
We are headed for obscurity
We are one, we are weak
We are gonna make ourselves extinct
Bigger they are the harder they fall
Bigger they are the harder they fall
Bigger they are the harder they fall
Try to remember, the echoes and embers
Are heavy on my mind
The pictures are broken, the front door is open
The scars are left behind
Tables turn you once they burning
Leaving me undone
A vision shaking till I break I
Swear to god more words can you just hear me
Just really hear me
I've been drowning in the sea
Of tryna to pleasing you
It's all I ever been, it's all I ever know
I try to be me, but I'm turning into you
is hurting, the drugs aren't working
The wall come crushing down
A never attraction, my insurrection
It's crawling back somehow
Tables turn these words they burn I
Never should have come
A vision shaking till I break I
Swear to god more words can you just hear me
Just really hear me
I've been drowning in the sea
Of tryna to pleasing you
It's all I ever been, it's all I ever know
I try to be me, but I'm turning into you
Turning into you
I'm not how I used to be,
I'm changing cause of you
Screaming just to breathe
It's all I can do
I try to be me, but I'm turning into you
Turning into you
Any more, find a way, hey, hey
Any more, find a way, hey, hey
It's all that I can see, it's all that I can do
I try to be me, but I'm turning into you
I've been drowning in the sea
Of tryna to pleasing you
It's all I ever been, it's all I ever know
I try to be me, but I'm turning into you
Turning into you
I'm not how I used to be,
I'm changing cause of you
Screaming just to breathe
It's all I can do
I try to be me, but I'm turning into you
I am the one your help I've refused
Your offering hand just set off the fuse
Oh I am the one that pushes away
I gave up tomorrow despite today and
Too proud to beg
Too stubborn to try
I look in your face
And spit in your eye
But I'm willing to find what's really inside
And show I am strong enough to
Trust in you [x3]
Pull me up
Quomódo (shadow to the light)
Quomódo (shadow to the light)
Quomódo (pull me up)
Pull me up
Cuz I am ready
I am the one who blames only you
The flame in my eye now blackens my view
Oh I am the one who wanders alone
Darkness inside blocks how you've shone and
Who tied the other end of my rope?
I wanna move on I wanna have hope
So I'm willing to change
I'm going to try
To show I am strong enough to
Trust in you [x3]
Pull me up
Quomódo (shadow to the light)
Quomódo (shadow to the light)
Quomódo (pull me up)
Pull me up
Cuz I am waiting
Strong enough to
Trust in you [x3]
Pull me up
Quomódo (shadow to the light)
Quomódo (shadow to the light)
Quomódo (pull me up)
Pull me up
I'm seeing this girl and she just might be out of her mind
Well she's got baggage and it's all the emotional kind
She talks about closure and that validation bit
I don't mean to be insensitive, but I really hate that shit
Oh man she's got issues
And I'm gonna pay
She thinks she's the victim
Yeah
Now I know she'll feel abandoned
If I don't stay over late
And I know she's afraid to commit
But it's only our second date
Oh man she's got issues
And I'm gonna pay
She thinks she's the victim
But she takes it all out on me
I don't know why you're messed up
I don't know why your whole life is a chore
Just do me a favor
And check your baggage at the door
Now she talks about her ex nonstop, but I don't mind
But when she calls out his name in bed
That's where I draw the line
You told me a hundred times how your father left and he's gone
But I wish you wouldn't call me daddy
When we're gettin' it on
Oh man she's got issues
And I'm gonna pay
She's playing the victim
And taking it all out on me
My god she's got issues
And I'm gonna pay
If you think I'm controlling
Then why do you follow me around
If you're not co-dependent
Then why do you let others drag you down
I don't know why you're messed up
I don't know why your whole life is a chore
Just do me a favor
The city's made of diamonds
And tomorrow glass will grow
All the freedoms that divide us
They're coming after me
Flashback 1984
Now who's knock, knocking at your door
A thought that starts a riot
They're coming after me
Now, life is not the same
I am one, but sparks turn into flames
Will you take what's in my head
And erase me when I'm dead
Cause the future is now
Now I'm disappearing
The day has turned to night
Can you save me from the light?
Cause the future is here
This is how I disappear
Running down a spiral
With the light of better men
Shouting progress is survival
Take one last look and see me
Now you see me, now you don't
No valid break, no string of hope
My hero your pariah
They're coming after me
Now life is just God's game
I am one
But sparks turn into flames
And you get what you deserve
When revenge is what you serve
Cause the future is now
Now I'm disappearing
I sink into the night
And I'm turning off the lights
Cause the future is here
This is how I disappear
So the end's when you make that
And that's what your looking for
This is the future
Future is now
Disappear
Disappear
I disappear
Disappear
Now turn off the lights
The skys are blue inside you
Turn off the lights
They'll get inside of you
Will you take what's in my head
And erase me when I'm dead
Cause the future is now
Now I'm disappearing
The day has turned to night
Can you save me from the light?
Cause the future is here
This is how I disappear
Disappear
Disappear
In your plane in the blue sky
You roam again
Words that echo in your mind
Make your heart beat faster
This is no Vietnam
We will win in Iran
The president said let it ride
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Tehran
Warrior, the time bombs
About to go
What will you feel
Will you ever wonder
If the man that's in your sights
Ever kissed his girl goodbye
The captain said kill or die
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Tehran
Great Satan
Our flags of burning
Soon America may find
Its young man in the sand
Where there casualty
Is just a number
In Iran
The president said let it ride
You will be damned
Make your last stand
When the day begins
All the guilt sinks in
And I look on the wreckage of the night
Though I try to break free
The cycle breaks me
Am I ever gonna see the light?
All the friends I've lost
And the pain I've caused
Have never been enough just to make me stop
The lines I draw to look at myself
Are turning into somebody else
I know how this will end
But I'm starting up again
Turned around, inside out
Cause this way
Takes me nowhere (I can't can't see a way out)
Takes me nowhere (I can't can't see a way out)
Takes me nowhere (I can't can't see a way out)
It beats me up
When I go there (I know I could start again)
When I go there (Oh no, here we go again)
akes me nowhere (Oh no, here we go again)
It beats me up
Open on this scene
A familiar dream
Of you telling me what I already know
Though the truth seems near
You can't get there from here
But you sure know where you're gonna go
As the rumor wind blows
My infamy grows
Seeing friends above
And I hit another low
The picture I paint to look at myself
Is turning into somebody else
I know how this will end
But I'm starting up again
Turned around, inside out
Cause this way
Takes me nowhere (I can't can't see a way out)
Takes me nowhere (I can't can't see a way out)
Takes me nowhere (I can't can't see a way out)
It beats me up
When I go there (I know I could start again)
When I go there (Oh no, here we go again)
takes me nowhere (Oh no, here we go again)
It beats me up
But today, if I change
And stop digging my own grave
I will try,set things right
Cause this way...
Takes me nowhere (I can't can't see a way out)
Takes me nowhere (I can't can't see a way out)
Takes me nowhere (I can't can't see a way out)
It beats me up
When I go there (I know I could start again)
When I go there (Oh no, here we go again)
takes me nowhere (Oh no, here we go again)
Maybe life is like a ride on a freeway
Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way
Everyone's around, but no one does a damn thing
It brings me down, but I won't let them
If I seem bleak, well you'd be correct
And if I don't speak it's 'cause I can't disconnect
But I won't be burned by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes as you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun
When I ran I didn't feel like a runaway
When I escaped I didn't feel like I got away
There's more to living than only surviving
Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying
Though you hear me, I don't think that you relate
My will is something that you can't confiscate
So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated
By destruction in your eyes as you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun
When I ran I didn't feel like a runaway
When I escaped I didn't feel like I got away
There's more to living than only surviving
Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying
Though you hear me, I don't think that you relate
My will is something that you can't confiscate
So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated
By destruction in your eyes as you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun
Maybe life is like a ride on a Freeway
Dodging bullets while you're trying to find your way
Everyone's around, but no one does a damn thing
It brings me down, but I won't let them
If I seem bleak, well you'd be correct
And if I don't speak it's 'cause I can't disconnect
But I won't be burned by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes as you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun
As you're staring at the sun
Now I don’t know, and it’s hard to explain
But it seems like things are just kind of insane
Because the world is crying
But nobody’s listening
So please leave a message on my cell phone
I see bullets getting better
Biblical weather
And that guy on TV is like a total asshole
Who are you wearing tonight?
Celebrity fundraiser, tight!
Black ties making wrongs right
How’s your social Band-Aid?

Now thank god for the media, for saving the day
Putting it all into perspective in a responsible way
With more celebrity news
Typical bullshit views
I think we’re losing this fight
Sponsored by Bud Light
And now we’re rockin’ the casbah
And taking the flak
The genie’s out of the bottle, and we can’t put it back
All this stuff
It’s overwhelming my brain
Can you see the storm comin’?
It’s coming this way
I don’t know much
I don’t know too much
But I know this
Shit is fucked up!
(Lalalalala) I guess it’s all about the dream
(Lalalalalala)The ends justify the means
(Lalalalalalala)I'm telling you shit is fucked up!
(Lalalalala) You know it’s all about the dream
(Lalalalalala) The ends justify the means

See the way the wind blows
Lives are intertwined
Watch the way the world goes
Man deals out our plight
Jester in the corner
Laughs without a sound
Jester in the corner
Malady abounds
In our souls, in our souls
In our souls
See the way the sun sets
Twilight of this life
Man is making little bets
Playing with our lives
All that I believe
Now anything is possible
A simple explanation
For the evil in this world
In our souls, in our souls
In our souls, in our souls
Come on down
Come down to sorry and sable
It's always the man
It's always that's keeping you down
Bow down 'cause I see it before me
Shadow and light
That always keeps you running
Oh, shut up you talk too much
Oh pay the man, now yeah
Oh, shut up you talk too much
Oh, no
Look at you and your struggle for freedom
But you ain't nothing
We all pay the man for living
Wouldn't it be nice for a change now
To be unchained
My life is for me now
But this is life
This is life
This is life
This is life
Pay the man
Pay the man
Pay the man
It's our life
No no no
Oh, shut up you talk too much
Oh, pay the man, now yeah
Oh, shut up you talk too much
Oh, oh, oh
No no no
Oh, shut up you talk too much
Oh, pay the man now, yeah
They customised their gear and synchronised
They flame out in the streets with flame in their eyes
Guerilla operator ain't heard of cool
Check out any wall...one hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule!
A hundred punks run with London town
Down "Wardour Street" to "Soho Sound"
Don't sleep all day only when they fall down
A hundred rumble boys and tumble girls
Protected by steel in a private world
Tomorrow's famous faces advertise today
And the studs on their back say
One hundred punks rule....one hundred punks rule!
A hundred punks run the loaded gun
They look so sharp they look like one
If you ain't got the look you'll never be one
A hundred punks run with total suss
A hundred good mates you know you can trust
There's never no bother and there's no fuss
Check out any wall...one hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule!
And Jimmy's number 101 knows one day he'll be one
Watch him.....Watch him go!
A hundred punks run the leather army
I know whose by my side not at home with TV
Even when I'm down I hear them sing for me
Check out any wall... one hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule!
Check out any wall... one hundred punks rule
One hundred punks rule!
And check out the walls... one hundred punks rule

I'm going down, I'm going down down
Let’s make this complicated
Thinking is overrated
We’re busting out
Of this shitty little town
Green grass and colored lenses
Tear down these picket fences
Burn in our beds
While the city lies sleeping
Why oh why!?
Are we starting up and going down?
My oh my!
Just the two of us in Nothingtown
Our superhero play
We’ll leave this town today
Hold on tighter
With my lighter, Shining through
These city streets are burning
Rose red your wheels are turning
Make me believe
Someday we could really leave
Blindfold a new direction
Stop asking better questions
Don’t figure out
That we’re never getting out
Why oh why!?
Are we starting up and going down?
My oh my!
Just the two of us in Nothingtown
Our superhero play
We’ll leave this town today
And I’ll row it if you steer it
I’ll yell until you hear it
Hold on tighter
With my lighter, Shining through
Why oh why!?
Are we starting up and going down?
My oh my!
Just the two of us in Nothingtown
Our superhero play
Our dreams get in the way
And I’ll row it if you steer it
I’ll yell until you hear it
Hold on tighter
With my lighter, Shining through
Still stuck in Nothingtown
Still stuck in Nothingtown
She aint no ball and chain
She aint no ball and chain
She aint no ball and chain
Me and my old lady
Lay in bed all day
And when I say I love her,
Well she rolls the other way
But really she don't mean it
Everything she says
Still if I believe in love
There's nothing wrong
There's nothing wrong with my head
Me and my old lady
Sit and sip on wine
And when she says she loves me
Well, I say that love is blind
But really I don't mean it
Everything I say
Still if she believes in love
There's nothing wrong
There's nothing wrong with her head
So what if we're making a scene now
You know she don't give a shit
When she's pawin' and grabbin' on me now
You know I don't mind a bit
So good and we aint gonna change now
The world is unaware
So if you want, go on and stare
Cause we don't care
We don't care
She ain't no ball and chain[8x]
She aint no ball and
She aint no ball and
Me and my old lady
Suck each other dry
And when in that position
I'm the luckiest man alive
Quenching our libidos
Passing time away
Now that we believe in love
There's nothing wrong
There's nothing wrong with our heads
My head
So what if we're makin a scene now
You know she don't give a shit
When she's pawin and grabbin on me now
You know I don't mind a bit
So good and we aint gonna change now
The world is unaware
So if you want, go on and stare
Cause we don't care
We don't care
She aint no ball and chain [8x]
She aint no ball and
I am waiting
On a mountaintop
For the moment that the sky will strike
My apologies
Are forever lost
Soon to ashes in a flash of light
Miles away from me
Hope is fading soon
Gone forever it's a waste of time
My intentions
Like a sweeter room
Only bring to me a fading light
Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
Oh - If they could just teach my dark heart to feel
All I've saved - oh why
Thrown away - oh
I am waiting
Like a single bloom
Lost forever in the storm of life
My intentions
Like a sweeter room
Only bring to me a fading light
Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
Oh - If they could just show these wounds how to heal
Here I am - oh why
My last stand - oh why
And I know
For all the rising and falling there's nothing to show
Throw me down
Throw me down
Throw me down
It's been raining - Throw me down
And now I will pay - Throw me down
Woe has come to me - Throw me down
I am the lightning rod - Throw me down
I am waiting - Throw me down
On a mountaintop - Throw me down
Oh above me - Throw me down
He will strike me!
Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
Oh - If they could just teach my dark heart to feel
All I am - oh why
My last stand - oh why
And I know
Hey, you're a riddle
I say as I move aside
(Like I really need your advice)
But you won't leave it alone
Little men try but don't get a lot done
Living in sin doesn't move me either way
I get a feeling you're so vague
Like I said before
LIttle men come when anything goes
When the rain comes I sit home and pray
Make it all numb
I wish it all away
All i really need is just somewhere to hide away
Kick him when he's down
Here alone I'll put up and fight
Kick him when he's down
Beat me all the way I'll take it all night
Kick him when he's down
Hey, don't worry, I'll get along home alright
Hey, everybody's supposed to be the same
So how come they're so lame?
It's like taking a fall
Keep on running back into that wall
Awake in a dream, get up and go to work
But I'm feeling like such a jerk
Like I said before
Little men come when everything goes
Hey, you're a riddle I say as I move aside (Like I really need your advice)
But you won't leave it alone
Little men try but don't get a lot done
Living in sin doesn't move me either way
I get a feeling you're so vague
Like I said before
Jennifer lost the war today
You'll find her burned and raped
Through it all
She must have wondered
What have I done
But nobody really cares today
The world's a busy place
Guess she must have realy sinned
I guess we're all just soldiers
She was only six years old
Left to die by strangers
Her family waits
And if we're all just soldiers
Is it so wrong to be afraid
Phoebe lost the war today
There must be some mistake
Say it happens all the time
And it's said and done
Little Miss 15 65 Your soul remains unclaimed
Guess you must have realy sinned
Morality won't help her
When she lies silent in a morgue
And all our sorrows left her
But the morning headlines
Even say that it's a shame
What are we headin' for
Seen it all before
Silent on the ground
As he's walking away
And I wonder how many more
Everybody take it
Like its nothing at all
All this time has whittled away
Like so many days in one
Back and forth the leaders sway
Backing it up with guns
Superpowers flex their wings
Hold the world on puppet strings
Egos will feed
While citizens bleed
That's always the way it goes
When will the world listen to reason
I've a feeling it'll be a long time
When will the truth come in to season
I've a feeling it'll be a long time
All they want is what they can defend
Before their time is up
Make the same mistakes again
Heard it all before
Superpowers flex their wings
Hold the world on puppet strings
Egos will feed
While citizens bleed
That's always the way it goes
Well if they tried maybe they'd see
It'd do a little good to let the world be free
Handshake and a smile Gets you on through
Then turn it all around with a suicide move
But you know it's not fooling anyone but me
{When you're ready to sing
We step up the microphones
Welcome to intermission
Yea, intermission
Every girl's a story, call it morning glory
She wakes it up and pony, whoa
Dancing on the table, everybody's
Holding up his dollars, pointing as he hollers
It's you, waiting out for you baby

Waiting out for you baby

Nothing to do
Nowhere to go
I Wanna be sedated
Just get me to the airport
And put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane
I can't control my fingers
I can't control my brain
Oh no oh no
Just put me in a wheelchair
And get me to the show
Hurry hurry hurry before I go loco
I can't control my fingers
I can't control my toes
Hitting walls for a fee
With good friends and we hear this free
All the dogs, dropping bombs

HUCK IT
You don't have the ties
You won't have the eyes
HUCK IT
Cause you realize
You don't need to justify
That cable show is not the lives we know
Drop a bomb in the publics eye
Fuck the Spartans they always lie
You are pointing to go fast and GO
Broken bombs and baking skin
Notify your next of kin
You'll know you'll come alive some day
HUCK IT
Now you feel alive,
stinks like shit all the time
HUCK IT
Its like you gotta try
risky shit, might die
You can't hold back just lay it on the line
HUCK IT
Lay one down on luck
cause you dont give a fuck
HUCK IT
And you'll bide the time
You go out doin what you know
no talking shit just leave it all and go home
HUCK IT
Now you'll feel alive
stinks like shit all the time
HUCK IT
Like you gotta try
Risky shit, might die
You can't hold back just lay it on the line
HUCK IT
Lay one down on luck
Cause you dont give a fuck
HUCK IT
And you'll bide the time
You go out doin what you know
The winds of fortune
Don't blow the same
She had to get out
And make a change
She had a kid now
But much too young
That baby's daddy's out having fun
He's saying
I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know
His baby momma
She ain't so slow
He's saying
I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know
I know you wanna hit that
I know you wanna hit that, hit that
All the world is gettin' with, I say
Consequences are a lot, but hey
That's the way it
That's the way things go
What was a family
Is now a shell
We're raising kids now
Who raise themselves
Sex is a weapon
It's like a drug
It gets him right into that
Grave that he just dug
She's saying
I'm on the run
I'm chasing guys for fun
Her baby daddy
It ain't his only one
She's saying
I'm on the run
I'm chasing guys for fun
I know you wanna hit that
I know you wanna hit that
Everybody's gettin' with, I say
Consquences are a lot, but hey
That's the way it
That's the way things go
Well it winds up
Broken up
Really such a shame
But why not
Take a chance
Everything's a game
And it don't stop
Hooking up
Nothing's gonna change
The more he's trying
The more he's buying
He says
I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know
His baby momma
Don't need to know
He's saying
I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know
I know you wanna hit that
I know you wanna hit that
All the world's gettin' with, I say
Consquences are a lot, but hey
That's the way it
Falling, I'm falling
Have you ever walked through a room
But it was more like the room passed around you
Like there was a leash around your neck that pulled you through
Have you ever been at someplace
Recognizing everybody's face
Until you realized that there was no one there you knew
Well I know
Some days, my soul's confined and out of mind
Sleep forever
Some days, I'm so outshined and out of time
Have you ever
Falling, I'm falling
Have you ever buried your face in your hands
Cause no one around you understands
Or has the slightest idea what it is that makes you be
Have you ever felt like there was more
Like someone else was keeping score
And what could make you whole was simply out of reach
Well I know
Someday I'll try again and not pretend
This time forever
Someday I'll get it straight but not today
Have you ever
Falling, I'm falling
Some days, my soul's confined and out of mind
Sleep forever
Some days, my darkest friend is me again
Have you ever
Someday I'll try again and not pretend
This time forever
Someday I'll get it straight but not today
Have you ever
When the truth walks away
Everybody stays
Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay
So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay
Cause I'd like to think the world is a better place
When the truth walks away
Everybody stays
Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay
So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay
Cause I'd like to make the world be a better place
When the truth walks away
Everybody stays
Cause the truth about the world is that crime does pay
So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay
Cause I'd like to think the world is a better place
I'd like to leave the world as a better place
I am the one, camouflage and guns
Risk my life to keep my people from harm
Authority vested in me
I sacrifice with my brothers in arms
Through this doorway
What?s on the other side
Never knowing
Exactly what I?ll find
Locked and loaded
Voices screaming, let?s go
Come on do it, here we go
I'll take a life, that others may live
Oh, that?s just the way it goes
I'll shut my eyes, it hammers in my head
Where it?ll end nobody knows
I'll take a life, ten others may live
Oh, that?s just the way it goes
It?s playing over and over in my head
Where it?ll end nobody knows
Stay the course, reasonable force
I believe I serve a greater good
Smoke and dust, enemies are crushed
Nothing left, where a man once stood
Through this doorway
What?s on the other side
Never knowing
Exactly what I?ll find
Locked and loaded
Voices screaming, let?s go
But I?m just doing what I?m told
I'll take a life, that others may live
Oh, that?s just the way it goes
I'll shut my eyes, it hammers in my head
Where it?ll end nobody knows
I'll take this life, ten others may live
Oh, that?s just the way it goes
It?s playing over and over in my head
Where it begins and where it?ll end nobody knows
Hey go
Bang, bang, it hammers in my head
Bang, bang, it hammers in my head
Bang, bang, it hammers in my head
In my head, in my head
Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil for Thou art with me
Locked and loaded gonna find my truth
Now I?m busting through, all hell breaks loose
And you can all hide behind your desks now
And you can cry, ?Teacher, come help me?
Through you all, my aim is true
My aim is true
Mommy doesn't have her head anymore
Keep it underneath my bed on the floor
That's alright though
That's ok
She never really used her head anyway
Daddy called me a silly bore
Bet he wont say that anymore
Because the way his body's severed in two
His vocal chords are gonna be hard to use
Beheaded
Watch you spurt like a garden hose
Beheaded
Bloody mess all over my clothes
Watch my girlfriend come to the door
Chop off her head, she falls to the floor
Watching my baby's jugular flow
Really makes my motor go
Wrap a towel around the bloody stump
Take my baby's body to the city dump
Then wipe the mess off the bloody axe
Scoop all the heads in my burlap sack
All my collection
Adorns my rooms on bamboo poles
Used to be a little
But a little got more and more
Now I'm craving yours
Night brings bad dreams
Bad dreams and guillotines
Off with her head
Find another victim for my machine
Put him in a homemade guillotine
Blade falls, gonna need a casket
Watch the head plop in a wicker basket
Leave the house at a quarter to four
Come back with sixteen or more
Cause the more I want, the more I see
One is for envy and one just for spite
The cuts in my heart, they show me your eyes
Don't make it better by twisting knife,
Turns all by itself, on to someone else
Your self-liberation, we'll leave this behind,
Beyond slings and arrows that rain on our minds
You'll make it better shaking it off
It never mattered anyway...
If we don't make it alive, it's a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long
And it's ashes to ashes again, should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long
The banner you're waving is burning and red
It's blocking the sun light that shines overhead
You against the world, diamonds and pearls,
Voices inside you churn, watch the city burn
Your own liberation will leave them behind
All the slings and arrows that rain on your mind,
Don't make it better, break it 'cause
It never mattered anyway...
If we don't make it alive, it's a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long
And it's ashes to ashes again, should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long
I won't calm down...
The banner you're waving is burning and red,
You against the world, diamonds and pearls...
It never mattered, mattered,
Mattered anyway!
If we don't make it alive, well it's a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long
And it's ashes to ashes again, should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long,
Look at me while I look at you
Seeing eye to eye we can never do
You try to tell me what is right
I may not know a lot but I know one thing
If you've got the answer
Then I don't want to know
If you've got the answer
Just keep it your own
I wonder why our world is ablaze
Sometimes I speak aloud to hear what people have to say
I try to have an open mind
But your brain and mouth must not be connected
If you've got the answer
Then I don't want to know
If you've got the answer
Just leave me alone
I would be patient but it takes so long
I don't want all this misinformation
All the words that you say
Lean on me while I lean on you
If we destroy each other
We might save a life or two
A little sun, a little shine
Separates us both by forever and a day
If you've got a vision
Then I don't want to see
If you've got a notion
Time has washed away
And now I may wonder
How did it all slip by
'Cause I always thought we had forever
Future calls to me
To take me away from things
I don't want to leave behind
Like I'm slipping away, I can't hold on
Find that path alone
Crossroads lead me away
But that's not what worries me
I just want to know what's home
Find that path alone
Crossroads lead me away
But that's not what worries me
I just want to know what's home
Through it all my mind still wanders
To the one who touched my soul
Though her road leads away, she's still my true love
I could believe, say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Will is not enough when all those
Lost days stand in the way
But she was my hopes and dreams my whole world
I could believe, been a long time, won't be again
I still want to know
Who can see for me, yeah, yeah
Crossroads tell me
Now you'll have to trade
Your past away
And find another day
So is change a friend or an enemy
Through what comes to pass, I'll find my way
I've seen it all before
But is the best you can be
The best thing to be
Some people say
You're just wasting time
But that's not what worries me
I hate a lot of things
I hate a lot of people that are lame
I like to hate stuff
Cause then I don't havae to try and make
A change
I hate teachers
I hate school
I hate the cheerleaders
And anyone who's cool
I hate the office
I hate the Quad
Don't wanna learn nothing
I want to be a slob
It's cool to hate
It's cool to hate
I don't like nothing and I like that fine
(Liking something's just a waste of time)
It's cool to hate
It's cool to hate
I don't like nothing and I like that fine
(Liking something's just a waste of time)
I don't like nothing and like that fine
(Liking something's just a waste of time)
Yeah I hate everything
I even hate you too
So fuck you
I'm always thinking bad
I never have nothing good to say
I'd rather tear things down
Than build them up
It's easier that way
I hate the jocks
And I hate the geeks
I hate the trendies
But I also hate the freaks
I hate Dr. Martens
And Muscle T's
I'm only happy when I'm in my misery
I'll cut you down and give you lip
Being positive's so unhip
I'll cut you down cause I'm a fool
Being positive's so uncool
I hate the jocks
And I hate the geeks
I hate the trendies
But I also hate the freaks
I hate your band
And I hate TV
You brace and hold it all inside
It's more than you can stand
No one around even tries
Tries to understand
Don't turn away, don't turn away
Come out swinging
Come out alone
They're in your way
But as long as you're swinging
Strong then you'll get by
Your pacing's wearing out a line
Right beside your bed
The scene replays a million times
Stuck inside your head
And though you stand in place
Your mind escapes
Read between the lies
Smile's on your face
You fake like you're ok
Don't turn away, don't turn away
Come out swinging
Out on your own
They're in your way
You may be stinging
But you'll get by
Don't turn away, don't turn away
Come out swinging
Never alone again
The pain inside can guide your way
Midnight, no sleep
Inside, you scream to
No one, hears you fall
Daylight, prove me today
One more try
Don't turn away, don't turn
Come out swinging
Come out alone
They're in your way
You may be stinging
But you'll get by
Don?t turn away, don't turn away
Come out swinging
Never alone again
Pain inside
I see the way the salesmen stare into the sun
I stood and watched them as they fell off one by one
And everyone's so blind
They're not to help mankind
Reach into your bag of tricks and pull another one
You don't want to change the world
Like you say
You're in it for yourself
No one else
You're ready
Saving yourself
You're gonna change the world
You're ready
Saving yourself
You're gonna change the world
Now when the day is set they'll line up all the same
And those that need the most will never get or gain
The ones you call your friends
Are failing you again
Reach into your bag of tricks and make it go away
You don't want to change the world
Like you say
You're in it for yourself
No one else
You're ready
Saving yourself
You're gonna change the world
You're ready
Saving yourself
You're gonna change the world
And since you ain't what you say
Then just go away
Cause some don't lie
Some don't lie
Go on now they won't tell
Well i'd like to tell you all about my dream, it's a place
Where strip malls abound and diversion's mere moments away
Where culture's defined by the
Ones least refined
And you'll be left behind
If you don't fit in
It's all distorted
In americana my way
Well my dream has come true
My vision has come true
Now give me my cable, fast food, four-by's, tat's right away
I want it right now cause my generation don't like to wait
My future's determined by
Thieves, thugs, and vermin
It's quite an excursion
But it's okay
Everything's backwards
In americana my way
Well my dream has come true
My vision has come true
I'm a product
Of my environment
So don't blame me, i just work here
My rights are denied by
Those least qualified
Trading profit for pride
But it's okay
Everything's backwards
In americana my way
My nightmare has come true
My nightmare has come true
[Del]Aiyyo whattup El-P?
[El]Yo whattup Del-phonic?
[Del]Nuthin man; I was on the bus the other day man
tryin to listen to my Walkman
This motherfucker all in my face
Tryin to holla at me and shit
I'm like, "Man - dude you just a offspring"
[Del]
I'm very interplanetary and vary with various experiments
Gregarious with verbals for your merriment
What El-P tell me to use, the beat di-ffuse
You lose and get played like a mood
I'm rude revolting leave you molting
No thing - compares to my compadres
We'll take it to Broadway
It's beautiful the execution flawless
You all wet, soggy groggy when you saw me
But I never tire whenever I adjust my thrust
Females blush I bring the California gold rush
Your flow sucks, your stamina can't endure
I manicure your lavender amatuer landed words
You haven't heard? Cannabis analyst
Add a twist to my manuscripts
I'l have you sent to the showers
Me and El-P, is superpowers like the US and USSR
Blow you like the Deathstar
Leave your chest scarred like Sagat
My plot proliferates, hits you like barbituates
in a twist of fate and splits your face
It's the great DelTron-Z, soundbombing
Run to mommy, I'm airin out your dirty laundry
I'm shooting then executing you're aiming from mainstream
Your brain tingles, strangles your lame jingles
Bingo I bring flows that attack like wild dingoes
Can't be pigeonholed, anything goes gringo
[El-Producto]
Here we go - up jumps the outcast, sever the connection
My mostly overconfident acquaintances pull numbers
to the anti-potients and fear that I drip sick in
And rise out of my shell to teach sick or bedridden emcees
til they fear living
Blockin the cocks that bust shots, spittin smitten bitches
til the day of the locust, kitchen cutlery cuts
DMX 16 crossfade with a strange lust
Dr. Strangelove, born in the back of the train, fameless shame
shared with acne pick brain pit
Tried to capture the moment of subtle death
Destro magnet spit - action fit into capsules
slipped in the dirty waterway speaker cabinets
Maximum b-boy axiom stabbin shit
Intellectual women find that my rhyme style relaxes them
and wonder if I fuck to the same rhyme style pattern
It's autobahn pipe bomb glass fragment shatter
to break new jacks at after parties for actin actual
Factor X into your formula for fresh thoughts
with a Megalon wingspan that bulge from the back of the text radical
Radio time tracks flatten your flattery
The tradition excuse used by biters; ambiguously homo
Knotted tights and colored underwear
that's wrapped around the brittle legs of
things without weapons - I'm grief diseased brethren
Swim in a sea of shit and malt liquor, feed on Excedrin
Radiate through tenements; emcees bleed estrogen!
Chorus: Del and El-P
Watch insanity increase
Break it up piece by piece
Never weak in the least
Think you better see a priest
(Mortality, don't battle me, it's costly
We the raw breed all of y'all is just the offspring)
[El]Yo Del kick that shit again
[Del]
Tomahawking your tom-tom club
You tried to holler at me at my show, lookin like you on drugs
You love the Del I'll thug you, bumpin Juvenile
Thinkin you in style, packin like you movin now
I move top speed, scott free with cock-D
Knock-kneed delivery that scorches you like Lockheed
Dr. Decibel, my deliverance is questionable
but as far as this session goes I'm wreckin skulls
Better check your pulse, we visionaries with this
Scarin the shit outta record labels next to fatal
Right beside homocide bonafied bewilderment
Militant diligence like I'm buildin pyramids
Peel your cap reveal your lack of flavor
Track your pager plus your celly
Piss on your Pele Pele, catch you comin out of belly
Dumbin out daily, tell me, what was your rationale
Think of matchin Del I disconect your PacTell
My mobile code words, showboat with no hope
for any rhyme you kick or any beat you load up
Leave you catatonic off a bag of chronic, skanless with anthems
Stomp your little cadence out at random
[El-Producto]
Ran-random, ran-random
El and Del-aphonic known to go off on a tantrum
Now you know..
For the backpackers, for the computer hackers
For the misplaced famous, for all the video gamers
For the derranged krylon stain makers
For the ungry hungry ass verbal brain rapists
That New York to the Bay shit!
