This is the story of love that came undone
This is the story of two men
And a gun of two men and a gun
A man that I'd never met stole my wife and son
But that's been nearly three years now
And it's over with and done
At first I'd stare out into space
While hate consumed my soul
Hate was the creed by which I lived
And revenge my only goal
But the road to happiness isn't paved with hate
I'm glad I learned how to forgive before it was too late
Now here's the way the other man
Paid for what he'd done
I heard it from the man's own lips
Who took my wife and son
I didn't really know this man but I'd seen him 'round
He's a new guard at the factory
Where I work, west of town
This fellow swung into step with me and said I've got to talk
I listened spellbound at his words
As we stood on the walk
You, the guard said hoarsely
Are a kind man, I surmise
As he stood there with his handkerchief
Wiping in his eyes
Three years ago I wronged a man
I stole his wife and son
I didn't realize then the terrible thing that I had done
This thing gets hold of me at night
And I can't sleep or rest
Forgive me, sir, but telling it
Seems to get it off my chest
When my past looms up like this
It kinda helps me to unload
I'm one man, sir, who knows for sure
That you reap just what you sow
I sure appreciate your listening, it helps me a lot
You know to have that man's forgiveness
I'd give everything I've got
Well, I feel much better now I, I didn't get your name
More why that was my wife's name before we wed
It's odd your name's the same
You know I'd kill a man
Who'd do to me the thing that I've done
And when the truth got through to him
He handed me his gun
As I gave the weapon back
I said what's done is done
Written by Chris Cornell
I got an idea of something we can do with a gun
Sink load and fire till the empire
Reaps what they've sown
Shoot shoot shoot till their minds are open
Shoot shoot shoot till their eyes are closed
Push push push till we get some motion
Push push push till the bombs explode
I got an idea
We can do it
All on our own
Nothing to worry
Regret must weigh a ton
Kick kick kick till the laws are broken
Kick kick kick till the boots are worn
Hit hit hit till the truth is spoken
Hit hit hit till the truth is born
I got an idea of something
We can do with a gun
Me and my partner we work on the run
The quick try to get quicker
And the creepers get hung
Now it's you that got wasted tonight on the job
One lost his liquor
And the other lost his hand
Ten sticky thumb prints on the door and the sink
But nothin' saw nothin' - just smell the stink
Five hundred mugshots and a hundred to one
Four forgotten and the rest just won't come
When you've begun to think like a gun
The rest of the year has already gone
When you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone.
Blood on the windows and blood on the walls
Blood on the ceiling and down in the halls
And the papers keep pounding on everything I burned
And the people getting restless but they'll never learn
I picked up a doctor - he's good with a knife
Says anaesthetic's a waste of his time
Works in a hurry but always worthwhile
Knows they won't be back for a long long time
Top of the staircase was ready to fall
We were still waiting downstairs in the hall
Watch out for big mama, she'll set you on fire
Or go for your neck with the chicken wire
When you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone
Once you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have already gone
Mother of plenty, mother of none
You've got me cornered and still on the run
I don't care nothing about you anyway
Stuck in this hole I'm on my way
Yeah when you've begun to live like a gun
The days of the year have already gone
When you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone
Me and my partner we work on the run
The quick try to get quicker
And the creepers get hung
Now it's you that got wasted tonight on the job
One lost his liquor
And the other lost his hand
Ten sticky thumb prints on the door and the sink
But nothin' saw nothin' - just smell the stink
Five hundred mugshots and a hundred to one
Four forgotten and the rest just won't come
When you've begun to think like a gun
The rest of the year has already gone
When you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone
(Well) blood on the windows and blood on the walls
Blood on the ceiling and down in the halls
And the papers keep downing on everything I burned
And the people getting restless but they'll never learn
I picked up a doctor - he's good with a knife
Says anaesthetic's a waste of his time
Works in a hurry but always worthwhile
Knows they won't be back for a long long time
Top of the staircase was ready to fall
We were still waiting downstairs in the hall
Watch out for big mama, she'll set you on fire
Or go for your neck with the chicken wire
When you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone
Once you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have already gone
Mother of plenty, mother of none
You've got me cornered and still on the run
I don't care nothing about you anyway
Stuck in this hole I'm on my way
Yeah when you've begun to live like a gun
The days of the year have already gone
When you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone
Now me and my partner we work on the run
The quick try to get quicker and the creepers get hung
It's you that got wasted tonight on the job
One lost his liquor, the other lost his hand
Ten sticky thumb prints on the door and the sink
But nothin' saw nothin' just smell the stink
Five hundred mugshots and a hundred to one
Four forgotten and the rest just won't come
When you've begun to think like a gun
The rest of the year has already gone
When you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone
Blood on the windows and blood on the walls
Blood on the ceiling and down in the halls
Papers keep pounding and everything that burns
People getting restless but they'll never learn
I picked up a doctor he's good with a knife
Says anesthetic's a waste of his time
Works in a hurry but always worthwhile
Knows they won't be back for a long, long time
Top of the staircase was ready to fall
We were still waiting downstairs in the hall
Well, watch out for big mama, she'll set you on fire
Or go for your neck with the chicken wire
When you've begun to think like a gun
The rest of the year has already gone
When you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone
Mother of plenty, mother of none
You've got me cornered I'm still on the run
I don't care nothing about you anyway
Stuck in this hole I'm well on my way
When you've begun to think like a gun
The rest of the year has already gone
When you've begun to think like a gun

Sometimes I Wish I Had A Gun
Cause I Don't Wanna Have To Talk To Dem – Talk To Dem
Don't Get Me Wrong I Know It's Wrong
But I Don't Wanna Have To Talk To Dem – Talk To Dem

Put Me Down In Front Of Everyone
Wish I Had That Big Fat And Heavy One
Oh Make Me Wipe Out A Taxi Man
Cause God Him No Understand

Sometimes I Wish I Had A Gun
Cause I Don't Wanna Have To Talk To Dem – Talk To Dem
Don't Get Me Wrong I Know It's Wrong

[Verse:]
It Was A Beautiful Day
Up To The Point That You Came My Way
Right Now There Ain't No More To Say
Words Couldn't Communicate
What I Feel In Me
A Fuse Just Blew In My Head
This Vacuum In My Belly Feels Heavy Like Led
Yau Hush Hush Hush Hush Jau
“you're Bigger Than Thatä
...Guess You're Right But I Wish I Had Click
To Stick To His Neck
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
That's How I Feel I Hope You Feel My Way [x2]
I Hope That That's Ok [X4]
That's How I Feel I Hope You Feel No Way
I Hope That That's Ok
[Verse:]
Wrong Place Wrong Time
You Don't Believe In God
But You Would Believe In A Nine
Why Can't You Just Be Cool Sometimes?
Keep Your Hate To Yourself
And We'd Be Fine
I was alone and frightened
Until you came along
I was afraid of everyone
You showed me I was wrong
You came into my life
And helped me take a stand
I feel so whole inside now
Come and take my hand
You belong to me
You can never leave
I'll show you off to my friends
You see they're so impressed
Together we must look so cool
I bet they never guessed
That I could be someone
And with you by my side
Anyone who disrespects
Has got no place to hide
Favorite toy
I am happy now
I know you're happy, too
Every guy around my neighborhood
Wishes he had you
Nobody stare at me
Don't they know who I am?
We'll take that smile right off his face
Brother man nowadays livin' in the ghetto
Where the dangers sure enough real.
Well when he's out late at night,
and if he's got his head on right,
Well, I lay you 9 to 5 he's walking with steel.
Brother Man says he's 'fraid of gangsters
Messing with people just for fun
He don't want to be next.
He got a family to protect.
So just last week he bought himself a gun.
Everybody got a pistol, everybody got a .45
And the philosophy seem to be,
At least as near as I can see,
When other folks give up theirs, I'll give up mine.
This is a violent civilization;
If civilization's where I am.
Every channel that I stop on
Got a different kind of cop on
Killing them by the million for Uncle Sam.
Saturday night just ain't that special.
Yeah, I got the constitution on the run.
'Cause even though we've got the right
To defend our home, to defend our life,
Got to understand to get it in hand about the guns.
Everybody's got a pistol. Everybody got a .45.
The philosophy seems to be,
At least as near as I can see,
When other folks give up, I, I'll give up...
Saturday night just ain't that special.
Freedom to be afraid is all you want.
Yes if you don't want to be next.
You've got a family to protect.
9 out of 10, you've got a friend, you've got a gun.
Everybody got a pistol. Everybody got a .45.
And the philosophy seems to be,
At least as near as I can see,
When other folks give up theirs, I'll give up mine.
Everybody got a pistol, this mosty be the NRA
Yeah 'cause when it's time to line up
You know damn well they're gonna shine up
Everybody...
And the philosophy seem to be
At least as near as I can see,
Falling out the window
Tripping on a wrinkle in the rug
Falling out of love, dear
It hurt much worse when you gave up
Just don't tell me which way I oughta run
Or what good I could do anyone
'Cause my heart, it was a gun
But it's unloaded now so don't bother
Climbing up the ladder
Breaking my shin on the very first rung
Waking up the neighbors
It's all right, they understand they're just as dumb
And they don't tell me which way I oughta run
Or what good I could do anyone
'Cause my heart, it was a gun
But it's unloaded now, so don't bother me now, don't bother
Crawling back to you now
I sold my guitar to the girl next door
She asked me if I knew how
I told her "I don't think so anymore"
Don't tell me which way I oughta run
What good could I do anyone
'Cause my heart, it was a gun
Your friends will say
It's self defense
With no hope of recompense
And anyway it makes no sense
The way you hurt me baby
You always turn the other cheek
Always acted mild and meek
Ya always played me for a geek
The way you dressed to kill
Why don't just get a gun and shoot it
Why don't you just get a gun
Why don't you just get a gun
And shoot it through this heart of mine
Through this heart of mine
You tried to stretch me on the rack
I saw you laughing when I cracked
You broke my will you broke my back
On the wheel of uncertainty
You tried to push me to the edge
You wouldn't listen when I begged
Why don't you push me off the ledge
It's just torture baby
Why don't just get a gun and shoot it
Why don't you just get a gun
Why don't you just get a gun
And shoot it through this heart of mine
Through this heart of mine
Through this heart of mine
Through this heart of mine
Why don't you just buy a gun
Why don't you just buy a gun and shoot it
Why don't you just buy a gun
Your friends will say it's self defense
They say it's cheap and no expense
Why don't you just get a gun and use it
Why don't you just get a gun
Why don't you just get a gun
And shoot it through this heart of mine
Through this heart of mine
"The human hearts that I have taken into hell"
"Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby"
"I didn't hit nobody without no provocation,
I mean, I didn't say nothing to the man,
I didn't pull out no gun and tell him that I was gonna
do this to him and shoot him. And he just shoots at me,
thats was a perfectly radical group right there if you ask me"
"Frontline!"
"American"
March to the rhythm
Fists in the air
Statues torn down
Burning flags everywhere
Atrocity starts now
The weapons parade
A nation in turmoil
Reflected by hate
Believe
Believe in the fight
Believe
Believe in the right
A paradox of discipline
Only the strong will win
Kneel to the man
Who's pointing the gun
A victory
Or nothing at all
"Quantum moves"
Discipline
Discipline
"Listen to me, or we'll all be killed"
Move ahead
Move ahead
"American"
"Corruptor of justice and innocence and youth"
A paradox of discipline
Only the strong will win
Kneel to the man
Who's pointing the gun
A victory
Or nothing at all
Victory
The State must fall
"Sworn enemy of all the human race"
Guns in the desk ??
Said I don't wanna talk to people outta my hands
Gun was on the floor I had a healthy mind
Now I'm in the sixteenth [pre]cinct tonight
I wanna gun
Give me a gun
To see your fear
And watch you run
Well you think you're cool
And make us look like fools
With your stupid-ass bullshit
And your macho rules
But turn it around
And point the thing at you
You might have a ??
Or something too I wanna gun
Give me a gun
To see your fear
And watch you run
Guns in the desk ??
Said I don't wanna talk to people outta my hands
Gun was on the floor I had a healthy mind
Now I'm in the sixteenth [pre]cinct tonight
You've got to find yourself a place to stay anyway
'Cause I ain't stayin' 'round, around anymore, no way
Now you'd better leave 'cause I'm, I'm gonna find
Myself another
Take that gun blow your mind
Take that gun go ahead and make my day
You got to find another piece of wax anyway
'Cause I think it's over now, it, it melted down
Just the other day
Take that gun blow your mind
Take that gun go ahead and make my day
Take that gun blow your mind

CHORUS:
Don't tell me
Which way I ought to run
What good could I do anyone
Cause my heart, it was a gun
But it's unloaded now
Did the gun sit down devise a scheme in the night?
Did it drive itself to the murder site? Guns push air out but do they
breath air in?
Was it trying to commit suicide by throwing itself into the bin?
Does a gun really have a living heart and a soul? Can a gun really exercise
self-control? Will its name be written in G-ds scroll at death will it go
to heaven or will it go down to Sheol?
I think it is good if you own something with a muzzle. Are we civilized?
Yet we live in a concrete jungle. There are not many animals some men are
beasts.
My friend listen who wants to end up in the morgue end up deceased.
wake up, purify
all I want is to get through the day
same scene, everywhere
growing tired of the desperate rate
if I knew then
you were here
all alone
feeling low
in a state of release
if I knew now
how to learn from the past
I would be who I wanted to be
hard rain, falling down from above
there’s no need to complain
we fall just as hard
to the ground each and every day
if I knew now
it would be
you and I
here alone
I would break down and cry
and if knew then
as a child
so naive
everything I have learned the hard way
real cold
shivering
I don’t know if it’s life or the air
the worst part of it all
(Steel)
A bunch of withered roses lie, a faded silhouette
Caught you jumpin' in the deep end last night, but it hasn't happened yet.
They're tying up your body with some rusty Number 8 and they say,
Too early with your run, son.
Too early with your run.
A bunch of worn-out ockers, the local magistrate,
Go down to kicking at the altar when the evening's getting late,
And the scene is much too busy, the prizes are so obviously fakes,
Too early with your run, son,
Too early with your run.
And what you doing with that gun, son,
Tell me, what you doing with that gun?
You don't believe in killing, someone's trying to kill you,
You don't actually want answers, just the odd clue,
And the timing moves to overdrive and no-one wants to get in touch with you,
Too early with your run, son,
Too early with your run.
Next time you'll take anything, you wonder if you think too much,
Hoping just for anything to readjust your senses,
No-one believes in that these days, no-one's really taking chances,
Too early with your run, son,
Too early with your run.
And what you doing with that gun, son,
Tell me, what you doing with that gun?
Yeahhh...what you doing, what you doing,
what you doing, what you doing, hey,
With that gun?
Bunch of withered roses lie, Tathra by the sea,
A four am hotel carpark, a vicious memory,
They're wrapping up your body, it's an ambulance charade,
They're telling you,
Too early with your run, son,
Too early with your run.
And what you doing with that gun, son,
Sunny days, the waves break.
Slave to what they say, on television.
The papers wrote about a man today.
He blocked the sun.
He told the people lies!
He gave them fear, and made them run.
He gave them fear and made them run.
Stories about a revolution.
Stories about a way of life.
Stories about a revolution.
Stories about a way of life has just begun!
We watch the screen.
We watch the shadow rise.
We watch the screen.
We watch the shadow rise.
Anyway the day breaks, confirmed like a handshake.
Promises man-made, broken like the early morning wakes.
We watch the screen.
We watch the shadow rise!
We watch the sun.
I'm at best, when I'm a mess
I cannot wait to see you undress
I'm so pretending not to look
But I cannot help myself
'Cause your the one that gets my gun
Your the one that gets my gun
It comes to this your body is bliss
You make me shine into a moment
And underneath the covers
Is where I want you to be now
'Cause your the one that gets my gun
Your the one that gets my gun
Your the one that gets my gun
I'm at best when I'm a mess
I cannot wait to see you undress
I'm so pretending not to look
But i cannot help myself
Cuz you're the one
That gets my gun
You€™re the one
That gets my gun
It comes to this
Your body is bliss
You make me shine into a moment
Underneath the covers is where i want you to be now
Cuz you€™re the one
That gets my gun
You€™re the one
That gets my gun
You€™re the one
That gets my gun
You€™re the one
That gets my
Hard rain falls on a cold night
Four walls closing in
Stand and stare at the future
Outside looking in
Don't know who to turn to
Don't know what to do
Nothing ever changes
All my reds are turning blue
I see it on the streets
I read it in the news
I get this feeling
Maybe I'm being used
But I got all this time on my side
There's no looking back
Welcome to the real world
And I got all this time on my side
There's no looking back
Welcome to the real world
Fire burns bright in the distance
Don't know who to trust
Stars fall down like a message
Sent from heaven above
I see poor men left with nothing
Rich men wanting more
And I ask myself a question
I say what are we living for now
I know the faces
And I know the names
Know the cost of losing girl
But I gotta play the game
Cause I got all this time on my side
There's no looking back
Welcome to the real world
Cause I got all this time on my side
There's no looking back
Welcome to the real world
I'm hanging on to promises
That I know can never be
Pray for those I left behind
But do they pray for me
I'm more than just a number
I've been working like a slave
We live and then we die
From the cradle to the grave
But I've got all this time on my side
There's no looking back
Welcome to the real world
Cause I got all this time on my side
There's no looking back
Welcome to the real world
Yeah I got all this time on my side
There's no looking back
Never going back
Never going back
Never going back
Cause I got all this time on my side
There's no looking back
Welcome to the real world
I'm burning bridges, time to leave it all behind
Sometimes you have to be so cruel to be so kind
All the wasted days
All the times you lied
I hear the voices as you hang your head in shame
No time to question why with everything to gain
All the sleepless nights
All the times I tried
I tried
And we all live with the changes
There's Heaven for the chosen few, yeah
If we all just think it over we can work it out
All that's yours will soon be mine
Don't make me cross that line
I won't back down
I'll keep it together
(You got what you wanted from me)
(You got what you need)
I won't back down
It's never the same
(You got what you wanted from me)
(You got what you need)
Shades of a broken man who's heart's been doing time
See what you want to see and say what's on your mind
Let the lights go down
Let the change begin
Let the change begin
It's the same old situation
Heaven for the chosen few
If we all just think it over we can work it out
All that's yours will soon be mine
How could you be so blind
I won't back down
I'll keep it together
(You got what you wanted from me)
(You got what you need)
I won't back down
It's never the same
(You got what you wanted from me)
(You got what you need)
Look around you
Leave it all behind
Look around you
Can't you see I won't
Back down
This time
If I can learn this time from things I've said and done
I'm gonna stand my ground and fight you till I've won
Nothing you can say
Just let it be
Can you hear what I'm saying
You never will so why don't you set me free
I won't back down
I'll keep it together
(You got what you wanted from me)
(You got what you need)
I won't back down
It's never the same
(You got what you wanted from me)
It's never the same
(You got what you need)
(I won't back down)
You got what you want from me
(You got what you wanted from me)
(You got what you need)
(I won't back down)
Everything you say and do
It's never the same
(You got what you wanted from me)
Someday it comes back on you
(You got what you need)
I won't back down
I won't back down
Don't say it's over - Gun - Swagger
I've been searching all my life
I've waited for so long
When it came down to you and me
Now I find that I was wrong
I see the changes in your eyes
Where's the magic in your smile
There's no way I'm gonna let it die
You know I'll crawl for a thousand miles yeh
If we don't know by now
We could be losing everything
Please don't say it's over
And if our love should fall from grace
Please don't say it's over
We can't see eye to eye
Like the way we used to do
When it's all been said and done
Still a candle burns for you
Forget about the things we said
It don't matter right or wrong
Sometimes well you just don't know
What you've got until it's gone yeh
I would give it all
I would do most anything
Please don't say it's over
If we don't know by now
Then it's too late
Just don't say it's over
Don't say it's over
All I want is to be near you
All I am is what you see
All I Know tell me can you hear me
You're all I need yeh, yeh, yeh
If we don't know by now
We could be losing everything
Please don't say it's over
Please don't say it's over
And if our love should fall from grace
Just don't say it's over
I would give it all
I would do must anything
Just don't say it's over
If we don't know by now
Then it's too late
Just don't say it's over
Don't say it's over
Read it in the paper
Nothing comes free
I don't need nobody
Praying for me
Only ever tell you
What they want you to know
Why don't you do it
Why don't you go
Don't you struggle
Don't you lie
Sell your secrets
It will be alright
Can't let this chance
Pass me by
I can see it
For the first time
I'm gonna steal your fire
When all these changes come
See them falling one by one
I'm gonna steal your fire
When all these changes come
See them falling one by one
Meet me in the middle
Listen to the sound
Everything you say
Comes back round
Why did you do it
Why did you lie
You can't escape
The feeling inside
Can't let this chance
Pass me by
Tell myself it's
Gonna be alright
I can feel it
I can hear it
I can see it
For the first time
I'm gonna steal your fire
When all these changes come
See them falling one by one
I'm gonna steal your fire
When all these changes come
See them falling one by one
Tell me that your satisfied
Tell me was it suicide
You've been living in another world
Change is coming all across this land
Are you strong enough
Are you brave enough
Was it ever enough
Have you had enough
(You better listen to me while you can)
You gotta lie down in the bed you made
(It can never be the same again)
You got laugh at all the madness
(There's nothing left I've taken everything)
Whatever's gone wrong I can make it right
(Why don't you face it you can never win)
Free myself of all the sadness
(You better listen to me while you can)
I'm sick of this world and it's greed for gold
(It can never be the same again)
I'm sick and tired of being bought and sold
(There's nothing left I've taken everything)
Life's a gamble, nothing's sure
(Why don't you face it you can never win)
I can see it for the first time
I'm gonna steal your fire
When all these changes come
See them falling one by one
I'm gonna steal your fire
When these changes come
See them falling one by one
I'm gonna steal your fire
I can see them falling one by one
See them falling one by one
I'm gonna steal your fire
She comes running
Don't blame yourself
Don't hurt yourself
Don't say it's true
This city
Rains down on you
Rains down on you
I don't care about money
I'll just pray for time
There's no easy way
So if you feel like taking on the world
That's alright
We've got the night on our side
We can walk that line
I'm on my way to higher ground
Lies they build you up then bring you down
Some people
Just love and run
Your time has come
Can you hear what I'm saying
For this time around
I've made up my mind
And if your dreams come crashing to the ground
Hide your pain
Just start all over again
On the other side
I'm on my way to higher ground
Lies they build you up then bring you down
Don't let it get you down
So as this world lies waiting let there be no sorrow tonight
I'm on my way to higher ground
(We can walk that line)
(We can pray for time)
Lies they build you up then bring you down
(We can walk that line)
(So let's pray for time)
I can't ever lose this thing I've found
(We can walk that line)
(I've made up my mind)
I'm on my way to higher ground
(Higher ground)
Higher ground
Higher ground
The time has come to turn it round
They can't touch you now
The time has come to turn it round
They can't touch you now
Higher ground
The time has come to turn it round
Higher ground
They can't touch you now
Outside a storm is raging
Inside my faith is strong
Love came down without warning
Love walked out without saying
Can't hide my secret
Can't live this lie no more
What can you say to make me change my mind
Sometimes she feels so empty
Sometimes she feels so scared
Can't say the things I'm thinking
Locked in a room of strangers
Can't hide that truth hurts
Can't live this lie no more
What can you say to make me change my mind
Freedom comes like a brand new day
Freedom lies in the words you say
Freedom waits when I'm by your side
Freedom lives when I'm close to you
When I'm close to you
When I'm close to you
Freedom comes to you and all I want is
(Freedom)
(Freedom)
(Freedom)
(Freedom)
(Freedom)
(Freedom)
(Freedom)
(Freedom)
Yeah yeah yeah
Why does she feel so empty
Why does she feel so scared
Why do the stars come crashing
When will the rain stop falling
Can't face the past now
Can't live this lie no more
Here comes my chance to leave it all behind
Freedom comes like a brand new day
Freedom lies in the words you say
Freedom waits when I'm by your side
Freedom lives when I'm close to you
When I'm close to you
When I'm close to you
Freedom comes to you and all I want is
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom
Freedom comes
Freedom waits
Freedom lives
Freedom lies
Freedom comes
Freedom waits
Freedom lives
Freedom lies
So many questions I don't really know the answers
Too many secrets I just wanna know the truth
There is talk on the street asking why are we here today
I hear a sound and I can feel the light surround me
Call and I'll be there now that change is on the way
So I'm dead on my feet I was born to believe
Say the words I wanna hear
And you run
Run helpless
When are you gonna come round
This is the last time
This is the last time
Living on borrowed time
Where do we turn when they say black is white
Are we the victims when they cover up the lies
There are so many things that I don't understand anymore
We live and learn in the dark of night
Are we to blame it's a struggle to survive
So we all make mistakes there are no guarantees
Just say the things I wanna hear
And you run
Run helpless
When are you gonna come round
This is the last time
And you run
Run helpless
When are you gonna come round
This is the last time
This is the last time
Living on borrowed time
And you run
Run helpless
When are you gonna come round
This is the last time
And you run
Run helpless
When are you gonna come round
This is the last time
This is the last time
Living on borrowed time
Some people lie for it
Some people die for it
Some people risk their lives and do time for it
Love childs
Gone wild
Come on
Come on
So what do you say
Don't be afraid of it
Just take a chance on it
Watch what you say and never be a fool for it
Wrong side of the
White lines
Look at the faces maybe you'll find
(In the end all we are)
Is just a face in a crowded street
(In the end all we are)
Is just a soul on the open road
(In the end all we are)
Is just a pawn in a losing game
(In the end all we are)
One world that's got money to burn
I need the truth now
I need a cure now
I need to feel you here by my side now
Right place
Right time
Come on
Come on so what do you like
I wanna find you
I wanna face you
I wanna fight the feeling inside you
Love child are you
So blind
What do you say your wasting my time
(In the end all we are)
Is just a face in a crowded street
(In the end all we are)
Is just a soul on the open road
(In the end all we are)
Is just a pawn in a losing game
(In the end all we are)
One world that's got money to burn
Tell me why you lie to yourself
Tell me why you run away
I believe in what your saying
I'm just waiting for the day
Take a look at all those people
Looking after number one
Living in the future
Living in the past
Everybody out there
(In the end all we are)
I'll give you Heaven
(In the end all we are)
I'll give you heaven
(In the end all we are)
I'll give you Heaven
(In the end all we are)
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
(In the end all we are)
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
(In the end all we are)
It's all money to burn
See the white light
It was never meant to last
You cry like a child
Forget about the past
Hanging on to promises
Hanging on to dreams
Stop and ask yourself
Is there more than what there seems
If I could
You know I would
Reach out for love
If I could
You know I would
Reach out for love
Talk about life
Can it ever be the same
If love is a drug
Then your sorrow is your pain
Music on the radio
Maybe I'm a fool
Tell me what you need
Cause I'm try to get to you
If I could
You know I would
Reach out for love
If I could
You know I would
You've got to reach out
Free your mind
You've got to leave those
Fools behind
You've got to want it, need it, feel it, take it, breath it
If you wanna get out of here alive
One more time
One more try
So take what you can
From this wild, wild life yeah
Stop the world and make it work
Time is on your side
I believe in you
So if you wanna get out of here alive
If I could
You know I would
Reach out for love
If I could
You know I would
You've got to reach out
Free your mind
You've got to leave those
Fools behind
You've got to want it, need it, feel it, take it, breath it
You've got to reach out
Free your mind
You've got to leave those
Fools behind
You've got to want it, need it, feel it, take it, breath it
If you wanna get out of here alive
You've got to reach out
Free your mind
If you wanna get out of here alive
You've got to leave those
Fools behind
You've got to want it, need it, feel it, take it, breath it
You've got to reach out
Free your mind
You've got to leave those
Fools behind
You've got to want it, need it, feel it, take it, breath it
When words they mean nothing
And everything you say is wrong
You tell me your happy
Turn around and I'll be gone
You think about leaving
Leaving when the going's good
You think about heaven
And everything it means to you
And I gave you hope
And I showed you life
Now you search for love
In this world tonight
And you run
And you hide
There's a fire
In your eyes
And I say life
Is like a long road
With open arms
We walk this long road
Precious little angel
Promises are made
The door is lying open
Here I go again
And I gave you hope
And I gave you love
Now the change has come
Are you strong enough
And you run
And you hide
There's a fire
In your eyes
And I say life (Angel)
Is like a long road
With open arms (Angel)
We walk this long road
Bring me shelter
Bring me truth
You can turn it all around
Break this silence
Break this pain
Help me turn it all around
Am I talking to myself
And I wait
Night and day
I've seen love
Turn to hate
Nothing's changed
Looking back
Is it so wrong to want what we can never have
I say life (Angel)
Is like a long road
To reach so high (Angel)
We bow down so low
Precious little Angel
Promises are made
The door is lying open
Here I go again, again, again
I say life (Angel)
And I say life (Angel)
And I say life (Angel) Is like a long road
And I say life (Angel)
And I say life (Angel)
And I say life (Angel) Is like a long road
You say it just scares you when look around
Things never ever had to be this way
Sometimes when I look at friends, I just see myself
Now leaving is the price I have to pay
Wish me well
You know I've gotta go
You know I've gotta go
I've done my time
Living without freedom within
And I'm torn and divided inside
Nothing left to give
Nothing left to lose
And it's time I've decided to say goodbye
You say you can never tell what tomorrow brings
But I've been there and I've walked that road before
Things can change and I look back at the memories
As the night falls, another dream just slips away
I can't stay here
Watching the world go by
Watching the world go by
I've done my time
Living without freedom within
And I'm torn and divided inside
Nothing left to give
Nothing left to lose
And it's time I decided to say goodbye
Say goodbye
Born to live till the day we die
People talk, tell me who decides
Days just pass you by
Life will pass you by
Had enough of the same old scent
Same old faces
Same old dreams
And I watch my world go by
Let me go
Somebody help me
Can't stay here
Watching the world go by
Watching the world go by
I've done my time
Living without freedom within
And I'm torn and divided inside
Nothing left to give
Nothing left to lose
And it's time I've decided to say goodbye
Living without freedom within
Watching the world go by
And I'm torn and divided inside
Watching the world go by
Nothing left to give
Nothing left to lose
And it's time I've decided to say goodbye
