My dad gave me a book,he said he wished that I would
read,
that it strengthens the mind.
My days are spend lying down,
I didn't want to read the books,
I wanted to watch the sounds.
Today I looked at my book,
I tried to make my father proud,
so I gave it a try.
One hour passed with my book,
I didn't know what I had read,
wanted to watch the sounds.
The sounds were my only friend,
I was a new kid in this town --
It was different before.
There were no kids on my street,
I was just 9 years old at that time,
I wanted to watch the sounds.
I wanted to watch the sounds,
days are falling around,
There's a difference between love and what it is you're
doing.What you're doing is just not right!
I take a look around and the girls you think of screwing.
Are they gonna be OK tonight?
How could you treat a person like that?
It's hard to enjoy myself when I can't keep my eyes off
you.
Afraid you're gonna hurt someone I care about.
Mayb eyou'll never know the act of caring truly acted,
but you don't know, so just get out.
How could you treat a person like that?
And then she tells you, she don't want to come home with
My crowded forum
My crowded forum loses faith
Hey, Mr. Teacher, don't you know me?
I've been in your class for 13 weeks
Trademarks to teach me more humanly
A number pointed more commonly
Excuse me, I think you made a mistake today
You called me a Chink today
And you called me a Chink today
But if you want to use the proper racist term
Don't call me a Chink
Better yet, don't call me anything at all
Maybe you could open up your eyes today
See the different colors, hear the different voices
And each difference is one's gain
Your ignorance can't feel my pain
Don't call me a Chink today, now
I'm no racist, I've never been a racist, I've never had
anything against anybody in this whole world, and with
God as my witness that's the truth. Last month I got a
letter from a Japanese exchange student. He said, 'I like
you label and your music, but you really should stop
talking about the problems of a racist country called the
United States of America. I've been in school in
Minnesota for the last few years and I've felt no hate,
no hate for my differences. How about it?' So angry,
angry I sat down and wrote this song to tell you how I
feel. My brothers shot for all of us. More grave than
butchered cattle lining up. How brave to live with
blinders on. You're living in a drunken college
I don't want to be a doctor
There are things I need to share
I want you to love me
Sharing all your love with me
Sorry I can't be your Asian Prodigy
Can you treat me like a person?
There are things I need to share
I want you to love me
Sharing all your love with me
Sorry I can't be your Asian Prodigy
And I have thoughts on my mind
This face, even though it's Chinese American,
That is, my folks came from South China,
You could say, well,
'He's a Korean,' or
'He's a Vietnamese,' or
'He is a...Japanese,'
And, you know,
I mean they couldn't tell the difference,
But in, in this last century,
There's three wars shot
I mean, in the, uh...in the,
In the Far East.
The War with Japan.
The War with the Koreans.
[With] which the Chinese were also involved.
The War with Vietnam...
I think most Americans think of it as just
One, huge war with Asia and, and so...
They're used to thinking about this face,
Even subconsciously,
Sometimes Christmas isn't like TV
Some kids got no presents under their tree
Their plates are empty, there's nothing to eat
The holidays just remind them of what they haven't got
Found a prin, take me back! Made me think of my lost
past. Found a friend, gona wawy, wonder where they are
today! Take me up, far away, give me life 'til the next
day. Watch me dream, run with speed, can I still play
make-believe? Collect somebottles, make some change, buy
a comic book. Arrange all the toys with some droids --
You're playing war again, and I think how great those
Wake up, eyes wide
This is the day that I've been looking for
I try to wake up mom and dad
So I can open up my presents, yeah, yeah
Pictures, music
Something get you kind of started
You think about the homeless man
Is he getting fed today?
I can't wait, let's be quick
I want to see what presents I got
I've been good this year
I've been good this year
Family, singing
Lots of smiles show on my face
Homeless, hungry
Still I complain about the things I don't have
Justice, feelings
We really need to come together
Fight for our minds
To be clear enough to see the problems
I can't wait, let's be quick
I want to see what presents I got
I've been good this year
See StraightAnother lesson here on time.
Same situation on the rise.
[Tell me why] bring your arms
[Tell me why] Time can't warn
Got a battle that can't be won.
With an army and a naked gun.
He shoots, he scores
And then adores the many men
Who served before.
Their time to live and fight some more.
Las Vegas, bright lights, big city
Will you remember me?
I fought for the idea
That skin color is not priority
But now I'm barely alive
My body, beaten to its limits
I will die tonight for what I believe
Will you remember me?
My son will never be in my arms again.
Shots fired, My body riddled with bullets
As my tears bleed
How can anyone die this way?
Will you remember me?
Do you believe?
A trail of tears have fallen
My thoughts are filled with love
(Wait for this nightmare dream to fall out)
I think I found out how
I really want to drive about
And see more country
Seen all this, home sick for
Old patterns turn the skies more
Seen all this, home sick for
To raise me back to drive and I drive some more
Got a call, got a will, some time to share music
Had a life but I'd rather do this
Short life, no time, move along the walkway
Had a life but I'd rather do this
No time left but I'd rather do this
Do you, do you, do you, do you want to read about the
lives they live?Has given you the trust in them and what
they wear to bed at night.
And do they breathe the same,
I think it's alright!
And I couldn't care less, now if he wore a dress and
dined with the best
there is something!!
Take a break from being something, of nothing,
You worry, worry it's time to break your neck
Had to buy that magazine, it's got a speck about his team
Found a way to buy my dreams, I'm leaving all this time
for me
Forced in my face every day,
We are the human race
We are so bright
We are much stronger
Making changes everyday
For people all around us
We are the human race
We are so bright
We are much stronger
Relax, your money's being spend
She's my friend who would lend me money, telling me that
I was funny --Walk with me for hours as we went around
the town --
to spend some time with each other, going out to see her
mother.
Didn't realize how lucky I was --
to be with someone, a caring person, got a need in my
life.
Have to figure it out again, what it's like to have a
best friend, never gonna find another beutiful girl like
her now she's my friend.
Today I go through my daily routine.
My record label seems to walk all over me.
Late at night my thoughts start to settle down --
I think a lot about her!
She's my friend --
talk a long time, hanging out in her room.
Even found a liking to her cats who I would groom-groom!
Sometimes I would wash her dishes, hoping I could grant
your wishes.
Looking all around for you --
for you now!
I take a look around at all the sights and sounds.It's
such a big world, big place, big deal.
The different faces, big and tall, short and small.
I think of GOD and all of his creations.
You wear the wrong clothes, you say the wrong things.
You're preaching UNITY, but you're doing the same thing.
You see it doesn't matter what you look like or talk
like.
You open up your minds until you meet them in person.
You Don't Know -- There's something different in all of
us anyway
You Don't Know -- They all laugh at you for wearing
everyday fashions
You Don't Know -- Your hair is long and you listen to
Danzig
You Don't Know -- Want to be different when you can't be
your own self
And this is my scene, and this is your scene and
instantly I think I'm better than everything.
I like people for what's inside.
They use their own minds, don't what other people think.
You can be a punk, mod, hippie, Christian, anarchist,
jock, nerd, preppie, hey!
What I'm trying to say is: 'People can be jerks no matter
what they look like and people can be great in exactly
It's not the past, it's the present, and I'm working hard
in my life.Proud of the things that I've done, I keep
striving. Maybe you could grow and succeed within your
own life. Don't try to take me down. I'm too strong to
take part of this. Got to blame others instead of doing
something useful, try using all that anger to help your
At the market, going down to the market place. Bright
eyes, don't let your past go and realize you're only a
slave. Feels lot better, when you're looking a lot better
And you've got to run away!
You've got to run away from soldiers.
And now you've got to hide away.
Pray for your country to grow older.
To see them in the night.
The dreaming feels alright.
The faces of these killers are same Hangook breathing
neighbors near me.
And now you've got to run away.
And now you've got to run away far away.
And now you've got to live and die.
Noona will never grow older.
Want to hear the sounds of life.
The sounds of brothers killing sisters.
To see them in the night.
The dreaming feels alright.
The faces of these killers are same Hangook breathing
neighbors near me.
And now you've got to run away.
We heard a loud sound from the ground,
Making top news in town.
Got scared, ran away,
Got to live another day.
Story read "Someone dead,
Any help to find a clue?”
Did you see or hear anything different out there?
No one gives a call
Even though it was a busy street!
People all around with survival as their own case.
Fighting for your own self and more shared
togetherness,Two kids are lying dead with a bullet in
their head.
Now is the time we make some noise,
Get our freedom back.
Hold together, share together, backs together all the
time.
One more death is one too many.
Our kids should be alive and running.
Visions gone, feeling strong, no more gangs are out there
gunning.
Is this just a dream or am I in a fairytale?
I want to believe.
See someone shoot a man,
Don't want to be involved?
Looked up at the sky tonight,
Saw the cold wind breathing through my sight.
I thought about my dad tonight
and asked God 'Is he gonna be alright?'
And my mind thinks I can't give enough
and I can't pour enough.
And my love is not enough in this big world.
Sat and talked to dad today.
He told me stories leaving for the states.
No time to share my Fathers time,
just learning who this man is I call Dad.
And my mind thinks I can't give enough
and I can't pour enough.
Losing the hope that was promised to me
yesterday.Trailing the cars that soon crashed in this
comic book maze.
Failed to be textbook great.
Just glad to collaborate.
Straight from my soldiers pack.
I line them up to fight, the stories not right.
My ultraman has fallen down,
his light is flashing on the ground!
Blazing through channels to see who the winner might be?
Get dressed to fool someone's mind,
where the teacher might see.
Failed to be textbook great.
Just glad to collaborate.
Straight from my soldiers pack.
I line them up to fight, the stories not right!
My ultraman has fallen down,
Verse 1:
Finding your way in the dark,
Ain't so hard when you're close to my heart
You are there when I'm feeling alone
All I need is for you to come home
Chorus:
You're sweet like chocolate boy
You're sweet like chocolate
You bring me so much joy
You're sweet like chocolate boy
Verse 2:
Trust is the lock is the key
There's no doubt that your love's all for me
You are sweet on the tip of my tongue
You are warm like the rays of the sun
Chorus:
You're sweet like chocolate boy
You're sweet like chocolate
You bring me so much joy
You're sweet like chocolate boy
Verse 3:
Knowing you're there every day
Makes me high in my own special way
I am calm in the face of your love
Holding you is the gift from above
Chorus:
You're sweet like chocolate boy
You're sweet like chocolate
You bring me so much joy
You're sweet like chocolate boy
We're together again
After so long
The beating of the heart beats
for one song
arms around each other
hold me close tonight
and I feel the way I used to
you make it alright
One night alone in this world
when there's you and I
Let the feeling surround you
Don't let me pass you by
holding on, holding on, holding on for the first time
And when you go away
you never say goodbye
You never told me if these feelings ever go away
I never seemed to care about them before anyway
You never say
I never know
No, never
Was it something I said
All I wanted was to be
your only friend
listen to your heartbeat
Never meant to make you cry
Sit down beside me
And listen
listen to your heart beat
oh oh oh oh oh oh
(listen to your heart beat woah)
You never told me if these feelings ever go away
I never seemed to care about them before anyway
You never say
I never know
No, never
I found a way
to make it alright
instead of asking
I say whats on my mind
and I take without warning
so I get what i want
it wouldn't come to this
thats what i thought
even when I sleep
I look alright
I don't really care if you're up all night
there's a commotion in your heart
so listen when I say don't stop
now and then
after you've gone
I get a feeling
it's like I don't belong
and I think about something
it was something that you said
is it all wrong?
even when i sleep
i look alright
i don't really care if you're up all night
there's a commotion in your heart
so listen when i say don't stop
and i think about something
it was something that you said
is it all wrong?
even when i sleep
i look alright
i don't really care if you're up all night
there's a commotion in your heart
so listen when i say don't stop
You are walking past us, we look outside
at least we are together - her you and I
at least we are together - her you and I
Meeting at the crosswalk, standing at one side
there is nothing to it, if you wanna hide
we can always hide. He turns on the camera
how did you get so tall (or dull?)
there's nothing to be afraid of
when you get the call
when you get the call
I wonder what your name is, we begin to wail
nothing is more lonely - than a broken sail
nothing is more lonely - than a broken sail
You are not an angel, I know what they did
your face is made of glass - Who shattered it?
your face is made of glass - Who shattered it?

The photograph, the afternoon
the telephone, the plane too soon
I couldn't speak, I couldn't breathe
Not again
The only time, I have with you
is in the car, on the avenue
But all these things, like all my dreams
slip away
On my own again (ooh-oh)
On my own again (ooh-oh)
All alone again
(I need to be)
On my own again (ooh-oh)
(I wanna be)
On my own again (ooh-oh)
(Come on and be)
All alone again
Calling, calling, calling everyday
saying things that no one else could say
You Call
Me late at night
Don't know what
Stops you from falling
I wonder if
you feel inside
Everything that you hide
You try to find
Is it something that you wish
To make me seem like a fool again?
Falling down with you
is all I have to do
You feel
Focused again
Don't know what
Keeps you from calling
I wonder if
you feel inside
Everything that you hide
You try to find
Is it something that you wish
To make me seem like a fool again?
Falling down with you
is all I have to do
Come on, Come on, Come on
Ahhhhhh
I wonder if
you feel inside
Everything that you hide
You try to find
I wonder if
you feel inside
Everything that you hide
You try to find
I wonder if
you feel inside
Everything that you hide
You try to find
I wonder if
you feel inside
Everything that you hide
Standing alone waiting for him,
In the rain I'm coming in,
That is when we meet
You are not an ordinary person,
Like nothing I've ever seen
In the rain, in my jacket, in the dark when we meet.
You say goodbye as I'm going in,
Here comes a car you're getting in,
But all you see is me
I'm not an ordinary person,
Like nothing you've ever seen.
In the rain, in my jacket, in the dark when we meet.
Make it hard to ask
My feelings are not glass
You cannot break them apart
When it's real from the start.
Oh...
I'm not an ordinary person,
Like nothing you've ever seen,
In the rain, in my jacket, in the dark when we meet.
I'm not an ordinary person,
Like nothing you've ever seen.
In the rain, in my jacket, in the dark when we meet.
Make it hard to ask
You have a way with words
never seem to care
and it's hard to believe
in something that's not there, or there
And when I wake
it's the middle of the day and my phone is ringing
When I'm at home, in a world of my own, I stop
And when I wake
it's the middle of the day and my phone is ringing
When I'm at home, in a world of my own
Beneath the land of snow
under the edge of sky
across the Bering Strait
asking himself why, oh why
And when I wake
it's the middle of the day and my phone is ringing
When I'm at home in a world of my own I stop
And when I wake
it's the middle of the day and my phone is ringing
So eager to supply again
keep giving now what you've got in
your so sad and lonely
it's such a scene
I wanna tell you what I can't say
is it always gonna be this way?
everything is one way up and thats all there is
I don't wanna say hey again
chasing round the bed and then
don't wanna lose what I can win
there's something in my head
you said I should let words go
but something inside won't let me show
the shapes that I see in everybody's stares
can feel that I'm not right
am I holding on too tight?
feelings that I'm feeling when everybody stares
I don't wanna say hey again
chasing round the bed and then
I don't wanna lose what I can win
there's something in my head
[x2]
So eager to supply again
keep giving now what you've got in
your so sad and lonely
it's such a scene
I wanna tell you what I can't say
is it always gonna be this way?
Don't Believe it
Can't see it
anywhere
at the party
on the stairway
in the lie
Keep me waiting
I'm afraid of
what you'll do
across the room and
standing closer
but I know you're not there
You told me
You'd be with me
You told me
Ohhhhhhh
You don't care
You'll tell anyone
It's not fair
You don't care
You don't care!
You'll tell everyone
It's not fair
You don't care
In the back room
In the dark night
everyones around
fooling everyone I know
You do it all again
We do it all again and again and again
You told me
You'd be with me
You told me
Ohhhhhhh
You don't care
You'll tell anyone
It's not fair
You don't care
You don't care!
You'll tell everyone
It's not fair
You don't care
In my head
On the street
The things I see
Just because
Because I feel
So free
I'm not afraid of you
No matter how hard you try
This is whats meant to be
and you know why
Wait so long
To believe
All we need
Take my hand
Can't imagine
Anything
I'm not afraid of you
No matter how hard you try
This is whats meant to be
and you know why
All alone when you call
and it feels so right
on a summer's night
Feel the breeze in our hair
As we walk alone
Over and over and over and over and over and over
I'm not afraid of you
No matter how hard you try
This is whats meant to be
and you know why
All I Wanted
Was to be wanted
all I needed
Was to need what I'm feeling
by the radio
with the lights turned off
and you never really knew about it
and you never really did know
[x2]
If you say I'm wrong
Then I know I'm sorry
If you say I'm wrong
It would mean goodbye
And you would not hang around
Or you might
You will not hang around
here tonight
All I Wanted
Was to be wanted
all I needed
Was to need what I'm feeling
by the radio
with the lights turned off
and you never really knew about it
and you never really did know
It's a Modern Love
And its not enough
for me to know
and you to find out
It's a modern love
It's impossible for me
to love you more than I do now
