Deceptive, receptive
To all the things that turned out wrong
Destructive, abusive
The bleeding scars need to heal alone
The story is repeating
I've heard this more than a thousand times
The story is now over
The sequel is coming and I might not be there
Who's laughing out loud?
Am I deceptive?
Who's laughing alone?
Am I deceptive?
Deceptive, receptive
To all the things that turned out wrong
Destructive, abusive
The bleeding scars need to heal alone
The state of confusion
That you put me in might come to an end
The state of confession
Will get me nowhere but it might help my heart.
We need a remedy, we need a brand new cure
To help us through this
We need a break so we can think again
And use our own brain
9 billion are raised and killed
Every year's the same deal
Slaughterhouse should be made of glass
So we could see what's going on
Sometimes, I wish that I could share their pain
Lend my voice to the ones that cannot scream
We need a remedy, we need a brand new cure
To help us through this
We need a break so we can think again
And use our own brain
Castrated, branded and dehorned
Without painkillers
Slaughterhouse should be made of glass
So we could see what's going on
We've all been going through the motions...
For way too long
We're losing all of the notions...
So we don't stand alone
Seems like the walls are closing in
Not strong enough to pull our own weight
When did the sense of things just go away, away...
Have we all gone numb around here?
Forget me not
Was written at the bottom of
The suicide note that you left me
You wrote that you
Couldn't go on all alone
In this nightmare you've been sinking
Forever, was written down with your blood
Tracing the letters with your fingers
You wrote that I
Will always be by your side
So where was I when you were dying?
I can't control myself.
Who would have thought that you were so in love?
But now it's just too late, it's just too late
If you ask me
If you ask me I will just deny it
Just like nothing ever happened to us now
This time it's real
This time I will follow my own advice
And I will weigh the words that might
Flow through my mouth
Twenty one
Just inches from perfection
If you only knew just what you're gonna do
Twenty one
I am never far behind
Keep this place warm
If I should fall or leave for a moment
You know I will be back whenever you need me
Trust this feeling
Trust this feeling even if you doubt me
I won't be the one
Who'll let you down.
I would ignore this situation, but it's getting out of hand
A funny word isn't appropriate
I got in this situation and it's getting even worse
I got arrested cause I offended someone
I don't know what you should feel
When questioned about The way it was
I am trying
When I should be crying
I am trying
Ahhhhhhhhhhhahhhhhhhhhhhh!
Borrowed this from my best friend
He's out of luck and out of friend
He beats me up like no one can
I like black and blue to look like you
[Chorus]
[1st verse]
[Chorus]
I hear you walking your breath refreshes me
I knock on your door to see if this is real
I see it all bluntly as you drive me by
This dog, is licking my ass
I feel I've seen this dog sometime before
I should have kicked but then I'm not so sure
I never thought that you would love this dog
And you disgust me even more
I can't remember The time I stumbled home
But there was that dog who stared into my eyes
A kick in The ass and then The mutt was flying
You woke up, and now I'm crying
I feel I've seen this dog sometime before
I should have kicked and now I know I'm sure
I never thought you'd leave me for this dog
And you disgust me even more
[Solo]
[Chorus x2]
I've been waiting all my life
I've been waiting for you to call me
Seasons are passing
Have i wasted my time?
Forty-eight hours have sustained
Fifteen minutes of real pain
How i survived this, i don't have a clue
I've been grasping to you
I will not come again
Say what you will coz i know what you're feeling
I will not come again
Do what you want coz i know why you're bleeding
I will not come again
Please don't take long coz the weight is impeding
I will not come again
I'm feeling alone and you're all that i'm needing
I've been waiting all my life
I've been waiting for you to call me
It's time for decisions so what will you do?
Will you still have to choose?
You may be too good for someone to hold
You're surely an angel that never grows old
Why am i calm when it's eating me up
Am i falling asleep?
Designed from the cloth you wear
Made to shine so, rendered ever so
Serve the function, simplified at most
Just remind her that you'll never go!
This is why the passions last
Find the question then you'll find the answers why
I bet you wanna be that guy
No pretensions just a measured sigh
Slipped away this second gasp
Followed you around then i still do now
Ever stopped to see you but recall your words
As you were just let the weather past
The way you look at things it amounts to The same
As looking through a barrel of a shotgun that's loaded
You take things as they are, you take things as they are
That's what's supposed to be, it's your philosophy
You want it, you got it so what do you want next?
The money and The fame, don't leave out The rest
It's so funny The difference between me and you
A question I ask myself, but I don't have a clue
If you can understand, then I can be a man
I'll be there with a grin, ,I'll show up with my face
You take things as they are, you take things as they are
That's how it's got to be, it's your philosophy
[Chorus]
[Breakdown (chorus)]
You want it
You got it
What do you want next?
Take a trip down to the West side
Just follow your heart and leave
Take a trip down to the West side
Just follow your dream and leave
It's when everyone around you is trying to cheer you up
While you are feeling down
It's when everything around you reminds you that
It's gonna be hard to go through
She'll never know how much it counts
Now you are gone and she's on her own again
She'll never know how much it counts
Now you are gone, stealing her own plan
Going for the master plan
It's when you know that the race is almost over
And you'll never have another chance
Just take all your gear and leave a little note
'Cuz "I'm leaving for L.A.... yeah"
We want a steady revolution
We want the blindfold off our eyes
Too much information is sifting through the day
Too much information distorted in the end
Too much information...
You know, we can rest when we're dead
We want to trust our institutions
We want a justified reaction
I'm in your car
It keep on breakin' down on you
But it ain't that bad...
It sure beats walking any day, so
I'll keep on riding it home
I got no choice, I'm always broke
I'm on my way
I'll never leave the highway
[Chorus]
I'll take it safe
won't have an accident today
Any other day but not today...
Unleaded.............!
Passing is great
that's just a dream in my old crate
Big cars go by
They must be thieve; they might be late
My tank runs dry, near empty
The nearest station; on my way
I'll fill the tank unleaded
So little gas and off I go
[Chorus x3]
The victim, the war, the blood on my door...no one wants that...
The guns, the bombs, this pitiful song...
The death, the stone, a cold empty home...
Sickness, disease, the broken families...
What would you do, if things turned out that way?
What would you say if things would never change?
So think of a way, we didn't have to stay the same...
How does it sound? It doesn't sound in sane
A word, a sign, our own peace of mind...that's what we want...
No more disease, a hope for world peace...
A move, a dance, a new fucking chance...
A breath, a sigh, a blue fucking sky...
I'm surrounded by factories
As I'm walking down the street all on my own
Everywhere I look around,
The building's roofs seem so far from the ground
I'm surrounded by factories,
Illuminating the sky with the smoke up in the air
And as long as I'll be looking 'round
My lungs will slowly choke and I'll fall down
We must stand tall and fight to make it right
We must stand tall and fight to make it right
I'm surrounded by factories
Poisoning my life and the air that I'm breathing
And everywhere I look around
Makes me fell like I'm so alone
We never asked, we never wanted them to
Be around at every single block... no!
Prefabricating, destroying and murdering...
We shall burn them down for good
We must stand tall and fight to make it right
We must stand tall and fight to make it right
You scream like a drag queen
And cause major scenes
Every time you get back
You give misbelieve
It's kind of my fault
I'm always too clean
On The scene
On The scene
All in all it's your fault, you pervert
Let's not make a big deal, I'm drowning
I just love it when you cheat, you pervert
Getting busy with The dumbest drag queen
If I'd know a little better
If I'd had diseases
I wouldn't get upset 'bout
My girl's bigger dick
I'm kind of embarrassed
I'm kind ashamed
On The scene
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[1st verse]
[Chorus]
I think you'd never believe what i'm thinking above
If my action just happens to elude them, then i'll do it again!
I don't know what they think they might do? And i don't care more than you
It's all over, i get rid of my tension, and i won't do it again
It's alright, it's really alright
Yeah it's ok, i said it's really ok
Won't you ever listen to what i have to say?
And i say; who am i talking to?
It's the almighty ten!!
Do these people care about your problems
They don't even know how!
And do they listen when you're about to shut down
Man, they just bring you down
[Chorus]
[Solo]
Ten is powerful, ten is amazing
I think it's perfect anyway!
If i had a choice i would take it
In my mind, this is it!!!
[Chorus]
And i say; who am i talking to
It's the almighty TEN!
[Originally by Rancid]
Well I heard you say I need something
About friendship that loyalty's the weapon of the weak
When you can't, can't, can't, can't, can't realize
That the tears comes down and release
My love to you is true
A tattoo
That ain't ever coming off
I'll wait for the truth hits you
I'll take a loss at any cost
When we met you listened and you questioned
Every single thing that I did
When you can't, can't, can't, can't, can't realize
That the tears comes down and release
My love to you is true
A tattoo
That ain't ever coming off
I'll wait for the truth hits you
I'll take a loss at any cost
Well I borrowed some courage from you
Through confusion I've made it this far
You said I could have had everything
If I just looked at myself
My love to you is true
A tattoo
That ain't ever coming off
I'll wait for the truth hits you
I'll take a loss at any cost
I have no choice but to tell you
That I've been chillin' with a couple of my friends
I have no choice but to ignore that
You've been waiting for an answer all night long
With all the lies can you tell me
Why are you listening to me all along
And I'm trying to, I'm trying to tell you now
That I am really fuckin' scared
You said, "You better take your time
And think twice before you fail
You better use my line
Or they will take you down to jail"
Oh yeah! We're heading to the beach,
Oh yeah! We're heading to the beach
Oh yeah! To roast under the sun
Oh yeah! To roast under the sun
Oh yeah! The school is over
Oh yeah! The school is over
Oh yeah! The school is over
Oh yeah! The school is over
Could you just wake up, and feel the fuckin' heat?
My brain is melting, my eyes are poppin' out
The horny women are walking down the streets
I just don't care cause my girlfriend won't find out
Oh yeah! We've played this fuckin' song
Oh yeah! Just sang it yesterday
Oh yeah! Recorded it today
Oh yeah! And tomorrow
We'll pay! We've played this fuckin' song
Oh yeah! Just sang it yesterday
Oh yeah! Recorded it today
Oh yeah! And tomorrow we'll pay
[Chorus]
[Bass solo]
[Chorus]
I'll take it here, I'll take it anywhere
There's not enough place for us all to share
You might as well go on and face the day
Just face the fact that no one else would stay
Suit yourself there's no one else to blame
You're always cheating, but you never wanted shame
Can't beat the odds, you're always proven right
Can't stay too long, there's just another fight
I'm O.K....I'm O.K.
You're O.K....you're O.K.
I'll find your way...find your way
You'll find my way...
Gotta get away, any way you can
Corruption in the state, can we stand to wait, NO WAY!
Artificial bands, artificial stage
Something else to buy, nothing else to say
Superficial life, superficial friends
No one ever bends turn the wheel again
Fighting always starts, hardly ever stops
Will there be unity again?
Looks like temptation wins again
True value never gained an inch
Same story time and time again
Who's gonna save the world today?
You feel the itch of kill always felt the thrill
Of selling out a friend, gonna get you in the end
Perfect master plan, social influence on hand
Hard to realize, hard to organize
¨ Straight line twisted mind ¨, doesn't matter if you're blind
Straight line twisted mind, doesn't matter
Life is tough, i know you had enough
Will there be unity again?
[Chorus]
[Intro]
[Chorus]
You said you wanna be around
You don't care what it's really all about
You said that you'd like to stick around
you don't how you're gonna get through
Here you go again, looking for perfection
As you're going blind, I see through your reflection
Yet another time, but the same old goddamn story
That's the way it is and how it's always gonna be
Take the time to find out all the options
But don't take too long, you might get lost along the way
Hey! Hey! Watcha gonna say? You know you're on your own now
Hey! Hey! Watcha gonna do? You know you're on your own now
You said that you wanna be around
And you don't care what it's really all about
Take your time, take your chance and never get lost again!
I wanna be Rodney Dangerfield
I wanna be like in his movies
Don't wanna be like nobody else
Don't wanna be you, don't wanna be me
I just wanna be Rodney Dangerfield
1-2, 1-2-3-4!
I wanna be like that underdog
You'll have no respect, but you'll get the girl
When you look him no one understands
When you don't have any friends
Why you try to be cool, why you try to be famed
I just wanna be Rodney Dangerfield
Don't wanna be like nobody else
I want to be the king of the kings
Mister Rodney Dangerfield oh, oh!
You're lying to me so I'm lying to you
It's simple to see that there's nothing to do
You're fucking me up cause you're fucked up too
Get someone else to blame I ain't listening to you
There's so much I can take when it's coming from you
You decided that I was The one who would lose
You decided to stay now it's time for revenge
You lied to me, you lied to me
You're breaking my arm but there's no other choice
It's a thirst for revenge what's in your inner voice
You try to stretch time but there's no way you can win
You have nothing to lose so you try it again
[1st verse]
[Chorus]
Last Monday when The rain was falling
I saw you near The bus stop
Since then, I'm always thinking about
That first smile that you gave me
I could call you red for The color of your hair
Or maybe I'll call you blue for The beauty of your eyes
No I don't know, I don't know
If we'll be together someday
You're in my mind
And my damn life will never be The same
You're in my mind
Cause The way you look at me drives me insane
I know The story is crazy
The love is impossible
Maybe we should stop right now
Cause anyway it's gone too far
No I don't know, I don't know
If we'll be together someday
But I know, yeah I know
I'll never forget you red & blue
[Chorus]
So insaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaane!
[Chorus x2]
You're like a rainbow
Straight out from a magic book
You're like a pop song
You really got me with your hook
It's hard to believe
All the times I cried for you
It's hard to believe
All your different kind of lies
And I know that you'll never be on time
Like the day you were my valentine
And we'll pretend everything is alright
And I'll be fine... with rainbows and pop songs
And I know it might be wrong
To fall for someone like you
But what can I do?
She'll pick me up at a quarter to seven
I'll put my suit on and the dancing shoes to fit with
Pork pie hat and my checkered belt
Two-tone ska groove to get you in the mood, right!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Who said that the beat was dead?
The revolution's in my head!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Who said that the beat was dead?
Ska revival's in my head!
She picked me up at a quarter to seven
Rude girl look with a sweet stylish notion
At the venue for an hour or two
We ended up dancing 'til the break of dawn, right!
Every body who's ever mentioned
Short-term profits are the real world power
Were they listening? Were they waiting
For the long awaited final hour?
Halo pictures, no wall to hang them,
Let the wall street journal serve you breakfast
Invited people, don't ask permission
To suck you dry, just your average blood-feast
Are we seeing the world? We're traveling on the welfare statements?
My concern to you all...you have trusted the people's movement
Plastic guns & bullets
I owe fate to the young ones,
Will they turn a profit or just behave?
And stop killing, killing each other,
They take action as we're digging our grave
Should there be no discomfort?
In the way men just abuse neighbor
Plastic guns, plastic bullets,
everything should work out that way
You want in, you want out?
Your ranking's just beginning
You ask me, don't ask me
I don't know what I'm saying
Hate tobacco, love tobacco?
It ain't your opinion
You wanted out, well your out
So would you stop complaining!!!!!
You hate me, I hate you
But I hate you more than you do
What about love, what about us?
That leaves me out, there's no use
I don't think so, I don't think so
You're just a fucking noname
I can read you, you can read me
We are just two open books, yeah, you are!!!
You always said that you loved me, and I really thought that it was true
Maybe sometimes you were mean, I never thought I could lose you
When you broke up I cried for weeks, I had hard times getting over it
Now I hear you want me back, but don't even think about that
No way, I only want to live my life
No way, you'll never be my fucking wife
No way, I will not waste another day
No way, so could you please just walk away!!
We had good times but it's over now, cause breaking up is forever girl
I feel so much better alone, and please forget that I have a phone
I won't be crying anymore, I won't be knocking at your door
Stop your little game darling, cause now you know that's it's The end
[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Breakdown]
[Chorus x2]
Last night, it was not funny when
You said: "I think we should be friends"
Last night, it was not funny when
You said: "I think we should be friends"
It's not funny when,
I knew from the start
That what we've built was
Gonna fall apart
I should have listened to
What my friends said:
You don't need to have
Your heart broken again
No need for me to stay, no, no!
I had enough, yeah!
No need for everyone around
To be involved, yeah!
No need for all lies you said
Too stuck in my head, yeah!
No need for all the games you played
To have come my way
It's true that I don't need that kind of relation.
I'm dating girls to feed up my emotions
I guess it's not a good thing but I know now
Why should I act like a victim when you treat me that way?
No need for me to stay, no, no!
I had enough, yeah!
No need for everyone around
To be involved, yeah!
No need for all lies you said
Too stuck in my head, yeah!
No need for all the games you played
To have come my way
No need for me to stay, no, no!
I had enough, yeah!
No need for everyone around
Oh way oh way oh way oh , oh oh oh oh!!!!
You can not take my pride away oh oh oh oh!!!!!!
I fight you every single day oh oh oh oh!!!!!!!
It's not my battle don't you know? oh oh oh oh !!!!!!!
The poor do suffer, but don't show.oh oh oh oh !!!!!!!
You live 3000 miles away
I hope you realize it
I wish you stopped your stupid way
You wasted too much of my time
Oh way oh way oh way oh , oh oh oh oh !!!!!!!!
Why can't you see what's going on! oh oh oh oh !!!!
Someone may starve but you're still gone oh oh oh oh !!!!!!!!!
You fight for human rights all day oh oh oh oh !!!!!
Why can't you back up what you say oh oh oh oh !!!!!
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Oh way oh way oh way oh, oh oh oh oh !!!!!!!!!!
Dear Mr. Gun
I don't know where you've gone
I'd load you up with lead
To shoot myself in The head
I'd wish you back soon
Cause my life ain't really worth doing
All those silly things
That makes you want to cling
[Chorus]
And I really ask myself
What do I do without you
I guess I'll go and buy myself some rope
Dear Mr. Gun
I don't know where you've gone
I need you right now
And please don't ask me why
I'd wish you back soon
Cause my life ain't really worth doing
You're my only friend
And you'll take me to The end
[Chorus]
(I guess I'll go and buy myself some ska)
Dear Mr. Gun
I don't know where you've gone
I'd load you up with lead
To shoot myself in The head
I'd wish you back soon
Cause my life ain't really worth doing
You're my only friend
And you'll take me to the end
[Chorus]
Some rope
Speakin' about your millions
You don't give a shit of what you're talking about
And by the time you're finished sayin' your stupid shit,
You'll make people sick of hearing too much of it.
You'll think about the good times
The days you were at back of that damn fuckin' line
Some really hate the feeling
But you like to make them suffer when you're running things
I've got no money
So what's the fuckin' deal?
Completely jaded
It's my turn
I've got no money
So what's the fuckin' deal?
Completely jaded...
You'd sit 'em down...and walk all over them
The reason's come to you way too much naturally
Someday we'll be forgotten
But I don't think someday, we'll be forgiving you
A profit never will be
Cuz you're too focused on what you can never see
A fighter never looks good
The battle horse has burned there ain't nothing left...
I've got no money...I'm... BROKE!
I'd rather stay
Well I'd rather stay this way
Don't want to change my point of view
Don't turn away
Just take a guess today
I can't support it every day
I just can't wait
What you're always hate
But I'm not trying to misbehave
I' d rather stay
I don't want to go away
I'm feeling so alone by now
Don't turn away
And take your chance today
You know we can't live another day.
I always say that things are wrong even if they're right
Cause everything I've been through never turned out right
Try to sympathize and understand my point of view
Life's a lie ,life's a gift, do what you want with it
Time! Will patch up things
Time! Will find a way
I hope everything will be O.K.!
Psycho therapy have helped me love my enemy
Smile, smile, smile and take a walk for a while
After months and months of reflection
Don't know what to do, so I need a rescue
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[Chorus x2]
You've always done your best,
But you still live in a one-room house
Surrounded by the fact
You'll never get out of this hell
You walk the miles each day
You can't afford to pay for a ride
At 30 cents per hour...
We got to make a change
Big corporations they've gone way too far
As each day goes by someone is dying all alone
(On and on it goes)
We got to make trade fair
You've always done your best,
The sweatshop was never really a choice
The quotas are way too high,
A slave of modern days to come
Miserable conditions
You'll be in debt for all you life
Can't afford to feed your kids...
We got to make a change
Big corporations they've gone way too far
Sweatshop! Boycott! We must shut them down!
Someone is dying all alone
(On and on it goes)
We got to make a change...
We got to make trade fair!
Slightly off of the center
Of a photograph
That was meant to tie us into place
Brings a sense of comfort
That will cradle me
While I sit around waiting for your return
And this sense of comfort
Will be handle I hold on
To fight frustration
10 minutes of failure
Were the answer
I was waiting to help me off my back
Slightly short of perfection
Of a photograph
That I set in my mind and hold you into place
Fight aggravation
While someone pulls the carpet down underneath my feet
And maintain the memory
Can you tell me you'll be coming back again
Can you tell me that you miss me just as much
Has this only been a bad dream
If so could you please wake me up.
Devastated by the echoes
Who'd ever thought that I'd know
Overwhelmed by the words you said
Make no sense in my head
Understated more than one time
Looking for the perfect line
Still trying hard to keep it going on
Falling down again...
I'm just looking for direction
But I don't understand
What's the story behind your eyes?
And everyday it's all confusion
Tell me more
I'm down again...
Devastated by the distance
We are more than worlds away
Overwhelmed with all the things you did
It wasn't nearly fair
Underrated for way too long
I think I don't belong
Still trying hard to keep it going on
Falling down again...
I'm a drain, I don't know why
Still afraid, I don't know why
I'm insane, I don't know why
Still The same, I don't know why
I'm a wound , I don't know why
Still The stooge, I don't know why
I'm disturbed, I don't know why
Still The fool, I don't know why
Look at me, am I me
Look at me, remind me
Look at me, devise me
Look at me, am I me
I'm in love, I don't know why
Still fucked up, I don't know why
I mistrust, I don't know why
Still disgust, I don't know why
Feel The pain, I don't know why
Still ashamed, I don't know
I'm confused, I don't know why
Still abused, I don't know why
[Chorus x2]
It ain't my voice, that you heard on the radio
Not gonna waste my time, i'm gonna leave it up to you
And i draw the line you'll be sittin' all alone
Pick it up now you just have to go, chasing the girls you hardly know?
What about the times you like to share, what about that girl who used to care?
So when you have to go think about the options that you know
[Solo]
It's my own choice, if i'm not happy with your lies
You're begging me to change we fight & argue all the time
Now it's your turn to listen up; let's call it quits and give it up
Shut your fuckin' mouth
They've started a band with some friends
Playin' hard as they can
Rock n' roll is the clue
Still believe that is true
I wish a we're a stinking dog
But i'm not!
With their "converse" attitude
These guys will rule the world
"Why can't i go see you outside"
It's something that i can't, i just can't understand
And i wish i were a stinking dog!
But i am not!
[Verse 1]
They only drink Bud, Bud, Bud!
1-2-3-4!
I can't go see you outside [x4]
Hey ho! Let's go! [x4]
It's been a lifetime since i told you i care
It took a second, though it felt like a day
I want you closer, closer than you are now
Conversations, they lead us nowhere
If somehow, you feel to complain
I'm here just watching over you
It takes more than assumptions
To make me understand your point
It's been a lifetime since the day you were there
Blinked a moment, it all burnt away
Just say something, anything at all
I'm used to i won't take the fall
If somehow you fail
If somehow you just try to make it through the day
Then stay close to me maybe i'll try to take you through
Take you through on another day
Another day...
You don't want no part of me
You know it ,I can see that
But it is not your fault
It is not your fault
The situation isn't right
I know that you're way too up tight
I am so confused
I am so confused
[Chorus]
So leave it up to me to go way
So leave it up to me to say it's too late
So leave it up to me I'll show you what to do
Leave it up to me......................TO WALK AWAY!!!
I'm up and I'm down
So confuse cuz I'm searching why
Well it was not your fault
It was not your fault.................
Today's the day we break away
We've made it on our separate way
I am so confused......................
[Bridge]
[1st verse]
Where's your heart?
What about the time you were always by my side
What about the system who gives you no try
What about the picture who's fading away
I'm not only here to say
That the meaning of this has no meaning at all
I'm only trying to put you against the wall
Decision has been made and I guess you've come late
I'm trying not to lose my faith
It's alright, don't even try to compromise
It's alright, don't even try to fit me in
It's alright, don't even try to win the fight
It's alright, I will never win on your side.
Suitcase and memories
A faded picture of what we had
Hard days would pass by
They came by but never left (us)
I need some patience,
A straight wire, a padded scene
I need a new sense
The doorframe is closing in
Now i'm clutching to what i have (now i'm clutching to what i had...)
A parcel of dignity and a shred of advice to take
I guess i'm moving on, i guess i'm saving face
I guess the pain is in the way
The pain is in the way...
I guess i'm moving on, i guess i'm saving face
I guess i'm moving on...
Good days, they are hard to come by
Bad days, they make me feel alright
The signs say to call you over...
I'm feeling things won't turn out right!
I've got it all wrong...
Then you come along!
I've got it all wrong...
You solved this fight!
I've got it all wrong...
I'm feeling kind of strange.
I've got it all wrong...
And now things are right!
I've been near, for way too long now
And now it's time, a change should come along.
With this new wind, strongly blowing...
My thoughts keep scrambling through my head!
I've got it all wrong...
Then you come along!
I've got it all wrong...
You solved this fight!
I've got it all wrong...
I'm feeling kind of strange.
I've got it all wrong...
And now things are right!
Good days, they are hard to come by
Bad days, they make me feel alright
The signs say to call you over...
I'm feeling things won't turn out right!
I've got it all wrong...
Then you come along!
I've got it all wrong...
You solved this fight!
I've got it all wrong...
I'm feeling kind of strange.
I've got it all wrong...
And now things are right!
Aggravation; source of failure
Simplify your choice of words, take me closer to...
Perfection, take me as far as you can go
Callin' out
Say you're near
Say you'll stay
Don't you fear; i'm not going anywhere
Take my hand for a second
Make me feel like i'm the one, make me feel i'm near...
Perfection...cause you're the only one who can
Check your head
Make sure it's in order
Before you break another heart
Be yourself
Don't spend your time pretending
That you'll be happy on your own
Close your eyes
And tell me the truth
That you knew it all along
Cuz home is where
Home is where the heart aches
It's where my heart aches
And you're never coming back
Trust this heart
With empty explanation
Cuz there ain't no turning back
Tell me now
Tell me I'm the reason
For your sudden change of mind
There's something in your eyes
That reminds me how hard I tried
There's something in your heart
And it's gotta be me.
Don't wanna hear about politician's dreams of
A strong nation, when there's crime and fighting on the street
Why does a man keep on beating up his kid?
That keeps him locked in this stupid mental frame of mind
They all claim their innocence
They all claim it high and low
They will always stand their ground
No matter how it shakes...
Everyone's insane, no connection to the brain
Institution's getting rich and things will stay the same
It'll take a heavy hand but they will shake your base
A strong will may never seem to compensate, ...no!
You were there on the floor
You didn't breath anymore
The needle struck in your harm
Bleeding all around
You didn't gave a chance
You forgot the romance
Now i'm lost without you
Feeling (blue)
I cannot afford that
I cannot afford that you
Didn't wait for me...
Your eyes are still open
My heart still fills with pain
I cannot make a move
I am frozen
You didn't gave a chance
You forgot the romance
Now i'm lost without you
Feeling (blue)
Nothing hurt more than seeing you again
You elect the government so quickly, now you criticize them
You don't have a reason for the fact, that you are bleeding
Independent state of mind is driving you way out of line
Could it be your problems, should they always have to end this way?
I've got my two feet on the ground
My face is up and lookin' down
You can't decide on what to do
Just tell me what is wrong and what is true
Think about it now, the situation isn't out of hand
Reelected assholes keep on drinking on your blood
Keep it up your hang time is in dept towards the social cause
Talk it out, your point of view might see it's way to them
[Chorus]
[Surf bridge]
[Chorus (2 last line first, 2 first, last)]
Pick it up fights, don't know who's wrong or right
Your senseless battle scares me sometimes
Mass racism, driven with terrorism
Who said that's the way to rule the world?
Destroying our lives, destroying ourselves
Destroying the hope that we are building
I don't wanna stay here, can't take it anymore
Don't wanna die waiting for the Grey race
This perfect class of harmony, racism free
How long can my discontentment last?
And I remember everything you said
Do you wanna go with me, for a trip?
We planned to go for five days in a row
Only just you and me, like a dream
It's over,
Still remember,
Those were the five best days of my life
It's all gone,
Only memories,
And I know that I will never love again, no...
And I remember all the time we spent
Under the sun of Virginia, so in love
I never thought that it would be the last
Time we had as lovers, I miss those times
I'm feeling so down
I'm on my knees
Five days with you
I'm feeling so down
I'm on my knees
Five days with you
Those were the best...
What's the matter with
All the kids today?
They might be growing up too fast
What's the matter with
All the trends today?
Make sure the kids will make them last!
And now you scream and I wanna know:
Why are you so angry and mad?
But I can't understand what the singer is singing
And why they are whining?
And nowadays, as crazy as it seems
They are all wearing the same kind of jeans
Tight black t-shirt with a bloody band's name...
What the hell is going on?
You think you know it...
I really think you've lost it all
...All of your friends now
What's the matter with you?
Don't forget your makeup now!
They're all waiting for you...
Is this the way you wanna be remembered?
I may be wrong, I may be wrong
Is this the trend you wanna carry on?
Maybe I'm the one who's lost it all
Are you just like me, binded by authority?
The violence in the news today, it makes me wanna say;
"Fuck you and all your lies, you'll never realize
what makes the world turn, what will make you burn!!!"
if you wanna waste your life away, doing nothing right
and if you want to save the world, then you'd better do it now
An educated mind ain't no fucking suicide [x4]
So spare me your concern 'bout a country that you've never seen
One-sided frame of mind and an attitude all filled with greed
Anxiety is building while the middle-class is crushed
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
I've been drunk before
But I never thought, it was this bad
With every sip I take
I see you turn and walk away
It's like the day we met
I was drunk and you helped me stand
I wished you weren't there
To see me so deprived
[Chorus]
And she said to me
And she said to me
Get the fuck away
Get the fuck away, YOU'RE DRUNK!
Good friends are correctly cleaning me up
And others just started to laugh at me
I'm so dawn drunk, it's not the same
I couldn't remember my own name
But when she looks at me
I feel like dropping everything
Next morning, I regret it
But it's too late she's just leaving...
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
It'll take vodka for tonight, cause the whiskey's out of sight
To bring yourself to a vault, and to slave my brain to fault
Just pour yourself a glass, not to swallow it too fast
Cause your face will blow up red, n you're gonna sleep in the shed
[Chorus]
We'll have ourselves some beer
And drink away from fear
We'll start a little fight
Guess the bartender is right............yeah, he's right!
Drink up your tempting soul, you're not eighteen years old
Shut up you stupid fuck! You owe me twenty bucks.
I'm drunk like I'll never be,
You're drunk man you're like me
We pour to this drinking song
Cause everything else's going wrong
[Solo]
[Chorus x2]
Is this the night?
Is this the night we lose it all?
Peace of mind...
The slogan's hanging on our wall
Is this the way?
Is this the way we wanna live?
Out and wait to die...
Our pride is flying in the wind
Don't be gone...
When you've been waiting for me so long
Don't be gone...
Who knows who will love you when you're gone?
Why are we running today?
When we could find a new way
We must not wait for a chance
We may not get a new chance
Why are we wasting our time?
Trusting a luck that just binds
One by one we're all falling
And we are seeing The end!
Why don't we find a new way?
Why don't we find a new way? `Choices`
We just can't live for another day
So why don't we find a new way? `Choices`
We have some choices to make
Do it at least for your own sake
It won't be easy, for you
Stewed and nothing to do
We all swallow a pill
A pill you don't have to feel
So stop now wasting your breath
And stop waiting for death
[Chorus]
We have some choices to make `Choices`
We have some choices to make `Choices`
Fuckin' choices
Dear Brad, can you tell me just what's up with you?
We never met, we never will, but i fell i owe big to you
Through your music i've learned more than i thought
"Life's too short so love the one you got..."
Because you knew and you knew it's all about reggae stylee
you know, you better skank to get some money
Because you know and you know you have to fight to have some more
You know one day you're gonna lose the war
You tell me that if i would i could
"Walk up upon the sea like it was dry land" i can go with Louie
Tell me where i can find the S.T.P.
The secret tweaker pad is something so cool to me
You will, you will be missed
"Funky fresh lyrics straight out from Long Beach"
Pick it up from the ground this Jamaican sound
Well okay, that's it, enough said
Sublime's spirit will never be dead
Through your music i've learned more than i thought
Pick it up, take the mic and everything will be all right
For sure you will be missed
I've got nothing to prove, and i've got nothing to hide
Just a kid with some problems, and i try to keep in mind
That people can't bring me down, they can't push me around
I'm just an average guy who wants to make it right
Don't wanna live being a stupid nobody
I just want a job to live on my own
But i don't want to pick up the usual beat
So i've got to make it on my own, alone
I don't wanna be a suit and tie guy
And be a part of the daily grind thing
I just wanna travel riding coast to coast
Touring, traveling, everything and nothing
I wanna make a move, doing something that's useful
Wanna clean my mind from all the useless things i've did
And all these years , i've been wondering why????
It was a waste of time and now it's time to go
[Solo]
I must find a way , living with the two sides of me
I'm a perfectionist but a lazy one
The only thing i see i the band and me
But we've got to work hard if we want to make it happen
[Chorus x2]
I think you'd never believe what i'm thinking? It's not related to you!
If my action just happens to elude them, then i'll do it again!
I don't know what they think they might do? And i don't care more than you
It's all over, i get rid of my tension, and i won't do it again
It's alright, it's really alright
Yeah it's ok, i said it's really ok
Won't you ever listen to what i have to say?
And i say; who am i talking to?
It's the almighty ten!!
Do these people care about your problems
They don't even know how!
And do they listen when you're about to shut down
Man, they just bring you down
[Chorus]
[Solo]
Ten is powerful, ten is just amazing
I think it's really bullshit
If i had a choice i would take it
In my mind, this is it!!!
[Chorus]
And i say; who am i talking to
It's the almighty.......TEN!
Voice yourself!
And you might understand the consequences
And everything...
You couldn't get a hold on
You have one heart,
you have one soul,
Think for yourself
And raise Your voice, come on!
And change the things they've done
I don't think you'll notice
What is right or wrong
The difference ain't that different
When it's written in this song
A little more of Chomsky
A little less of you and me
You better voice yourself!
And you might understand the consequences
And everything...
You couldn't get a hold on
I don't think you'll notice
What is right or wrong
The difference ain't that different
When it's written in this song
A little more of Chomsky
A little less of you and me
We cannot go on without change... no!
I don't think you'll notice
What is right or wrong
The difference ain't that different
When it's written in this song
A little more of Chomsky
A little less of you and me
I understand The problem
Never thought that it would leave me empty
I don't expect you leave me something...
I could hold on to
Crashing windows made you feel so lucky
Being caught was like a whole new beating
Now, you're gone I'm feeling so unlucky
Way too much guilt...but now
[Chorus]
You've been lying in that small box for 42 days, But I'm still left behind, oh yeah
Are you thinkin' I've got something I didn't say? There's nothing else to say........
Many people tried to save you somehow
They could never reach you quite as I did
I've been living your life til it crumbled
My anger's fading now
[Chorus]
[Solo]
They'd question all your problems; shameless, What's your problem, is it self explaining?
I don't think they worry too much about you, I find it hard sometimes
Life's a bitch, ain't it? Hardly fakin' it.
Aren't you really fuckin' sick of it all?
Lengths and silences, no words just violence
We've been taking our chances..............
You may not care but don't be naive
Well take The best The positive aspect
Have some friends and a punkska band
I guess that's The key to your sobriety
Even if you're a pervert use your head
Before you date this girl, you better sure you've bled
It's o.k. you'll do some mistakes
Like Ace Ventura with Snowflakes
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Life is like diskathing
And someday you'll have a lovely wife
You'll do like O.J. and kill her with a knife
You'll obey to your bastard dog
Live across The street from a big fat slob
You will be a fucking statistic
Another man without a diploma
But after all you'll be happy
Cause you know man, this is The key
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[Solo]
Ba-ba-ba, ba-Barbara ann!!! [x3]
[Chorus]
Tension...oh oh!
It's building up inside, you are wasting my life
It's my life, i can say what i want to say
You may not like it but i'm gonna tell you anyway
Fuck you, you never gave me any chance
This is what you get, you're sitting out another dance
It's about time that you put your act together
We're stuck in the same groove, the momentum ain't a factor
I'm just sick of you lies you never gave me any chance
This is what you get, you're sitting out another dance!
Malfunction in the system, same problem in your brain
You know exactly who you'll blame and things will stay the same
You kick me when i'm down, it doesn't make a sound
You kick me and i'm always down i won't be around...
Tension...oh oh!
Once crawled inside of her
I was fighting my way back out
And now I'm left here without one word
Nothing left to think about
I stutter to say my thoughts
I shudder to make it back, it seems so wrong
It's a wonder that I faced the odds
All the while they were being stacked
I fear to circumcise
I fear the words that are in disguise
Your image is falling all over me
But it wouldn't matter all that much
So here we are again in my mind
A broken heart and a troubled home, can you help me out?
I've grown some feet and opinions
I think of her and I start to foam, it can't be real
Tell me something I don't know and I will follow
Tell me which way the wind blows and I will follow
Tell me something I don't know
And I will follow you wherever you will go...
I'm jumping on a plane and flying back to L.A.
I wanna live on the beach, i wanna tan on demand
I'm sick of this place, the weather makes me feel grey
I'm wanna get on that plane and fly out of here
Well Montreal's ok but it ain't hollywood
Nothing like walking on the walk of fame to make me feel so good
I wanna walk up to the beach and lay down all day
I want out...
Take me away i don't wanna stay
Won't you take me back to L.A.
I wanna go where my tan line won't show
My complexion won't scare me anymore
I'm hopping on a train and riding back to L.A.
I wanna have great sex right there in the sand
I'm sick of this place, the snow drives me insane
I'm wanna get on a train and ride out of here
Well Montreal's ok but it ain't sublime as Long beach
Nothing like the sunset on a hot summer night
I wanna walk up to the beach and lay down all day
I want out.
Take me away...
She's been around a couple of years ago
She's doing cool things, like porno videos
With all her friends and her caravan
I wanna take a ride and travel across the land
She's the kind of girl that make you say
I didn't know we do it that way
And i've been watching her every night and then
I wish one day i'll be entering your world
Take me to Shane's world!
She never hesitates, givin' me her best
I watched her one time and i knew it was good
And it wasn't enough
I watched her three times and i watched again
4,5,6,7,8,9,10...times!!
Since we met, i've been addicted
I can't get enough of you when you are naked
You are my superstar, my diva porn queen
I wish one day i'll be entering your world
This is a warning that i'm sending out to you!
ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1-2-3 GO!
CHANGE!
You've wasted my time but you won't waste anymore, right!
CHANGE
You played with my mind, you won't do it anymore, no!
It doesn't take that much, no! It doesn't take anything
When you get your mind set you can steal almost anything
The problem you have is a problem i'll never have
If you could stop and think, then you might realize
Walking all alone you feel the weight of your shoes ¨ CHANGE IS EVERYTHING!
All your problems have been caused by you, right ¨ CHANGE IS EVERYTHING!
What you wanna do is drink beer, whisky and soda! ¨ CHANGE IS EVERYTHING!
Hope you'll be smarter, it will change everything! ¨ CHANGE IS EVERYTHING!
So thinkin' about the time, thinkin' about the time
I would stay, thinking about the bullshit
I don't wanna hear, thinking about the problem
You putting me through, i think that Tienes que variar!!
[Chorus]
This is a warning so you should be concerned
I'm really sick and tired of always getting burnt
You are ratting on a friend, you've done it once again
So now your time is up, wasting time again!
[2nd verse]
Did you ever have the feeling you've lost it?
When no one's around and you're feeling all alone.
Did you ever have the feeling you wouldn't make it through?
When everyone around is laughing at you
Did you ever have the feeling you've lost it?
When you feel so ashamed, sick and Tired of playing games
Did you ever have the feeling you wouldn't make it through?
This game is a joke and it's coming back to you
You'll never have another chance to say
What's in the back of your mind
Are you bored?
It's all I wanna know right now!
Did you ever have the feeling you've lost it?
When you feel so ashamed , you feel so ashamed
You'll never have the chance to tell them...
And all I wanna know is...
Won't you say you'll sleep with me tonight
and if you don't can't you stay, and keep me out of sight
coz you know, i can't be sleeping all alone
i enjoy your presence on the phone
Follow me you're wastin' too much time
you're not forgiven
It's ok, my boyfriend's feeling lame
so we don't have to wait and must not feel ashamed
it's alright, take my hand and turn off all the lights
don't be nervous things will turn out right
Don't you feel you're doing the right thing?
don't start complaining
Won't you stay and sleep for tonight
If my boyfriend comes he won't even know
That you and i had sex seven times
You can say that
[Bridge]
You can say that
Stay...a bit longer
It'll make things easier
Stay... a bit longer
Come on now pretty girl
I'm going out of my way, so things will turn out right
Here i am splitting hair to know that you're ok
Never thought i'd be sweating blood to make sure that you feel fine
Oh please can't you...
Stay...a bit longer
No matter what your parents say
Stay...a bit longer
Oh no it's already late!
So we're almost there, it's the year two thousand
Who would've thought that many years ago
Many have predicted the end of the world
And we almost got there, but now we're still alive
Don't sit on your ass and start ¨ complaining¨
Cause man, it ain't the end of the ¨ game¨
Hope will not save this world, but action will
¨ Yeah, it's time to all get together and sing unity ¨
In every culture, in every society
There's a pleague that havoc peace and unity
And destroys any hope of universal empathy
¨ Discrimination¨ respect the difference
¨ Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up ¨
¨ shoved it, shoved it ¨
¨ So! So! So! ¨
[Verse]
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
There's a war coming down, i can't lay back
Tell me how am i gonna compete that? War and that violence!
Tell me who's there(who's there?)
Who's raising the flag?
[Solo]
[Verse]
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
There's no way I am gonna stay
I wanna leave it all behind...
I got a static pulse
When everyone around
Is trying to bring it down
Seems like a waste of time
No means no, I don't wanna play tonight
I'd rather go home, and leave this fuckin' place...
We've been there, done that
We went to school and did our time
Never thought one day I'd have to deal
With a jaded crowd who does not care
It's so unfair, because we work so hard
Just to entertain...
Take me out of the line
And bring me back to ordinary
Take me out of the line
I miss my life...
I got a static pulse, when everyone around
Is trying to bring it down...
No means no, don't wanna play tonight
I'd rather go home...
Up on stage, seems like fun and games
But we are dying up here...
I wanna scream and tell you how I feel
I just wanna quit, I feel sick...
I think I'm gonna stop!
I had too much coffee today
My mind's going blank, can't keep track of what's happening
This social shutdown, this nervous breakdown
Is calling me to take my eyes away
Can't look, nervous system's in decay
I'm fighting stress and sanity in every way
I know it's fucking killing me
I guess it's good to have a reason anyway
I had too much, too much today
Just can't take it anymore
I wish i could live like someone on tv
They never lie, never die, never question who they wanna be
Health pays when the moral issue bombs away
Who said we would never see our enemy
It's insane, i don't know why
For every single value, there's a different name
With all those things, can you tell me
What's wrong and what's ruling down here anyway
Take, take... but it won't give you an answer.
You walk, walk... 'cause the idiots are walking.
Ain't nobody telling me what went wrong
You take, take... but it won't give you an answer.
You talk, talk... 'cause the idiots are talking.
Ain't nobody telling me what went wrong
Most of my life I've been in love with you,
But from now on I think I hate you...
I think I've come to the point where
I can't help myself to watch it from a distance
While everything I loved is crumbling apart...
And now I want to know why...
Prefabricated music artists, following the dots.
Drawn by the music industry and media to make it right.
No local scene, no indie scene
To succeed you better be mainstream
Everyday, I can't believe what's going on...
Plastic bands are invading my T.V.
And every band we ever seem to play with
Is scoring a major deal with a million dollar company
I wanted this so bad and now it's alright...
I've realized my goal isn't being in this fight.
For success and fame I don't wanna be a whore,
I'd rather play my thing and be proud and poor...
I'll never get no fucking answer
You got no place to complain about those angry days
There's no fight and no war, but you're still left under par
It's a sign of the times, there aren't no equal rights
You have trouble with decision, so you're pointing the blame
Think of what you are, don't stand this accusation
You'll never get rest, cause there ain't no fast redemption
Worst than you think, more than you ever thought
And you're up to your neck and you keep on being fashioned
This is not fad, it's an emotional breakdown
And that's how you're gonna feel, when your nerves call this shutdown
You're not gonna fight, you're not gonna rebel
Disease is in your face, and it's worse than Latrell Sprewell!
So you're down with the truth and you take it on the youth
Got no plan no morals and an empty self esteem
It's a sign of the times, there ain't no equal rights
You have trouble with decision, so you're pointing the blame
Don't break your arm with a slap, tryin' a throw down
You'll wind up on your back, wishing you just had your face down
It's shun certified, the palm is on your blind side
This is what you get, when you beg for fast redemption
You got no place to complain about those angry days
There's no fight and no war, but you're still left under par
It's a sign of the times, there aren't no equal rights
You have trouble with decision
I'm gonna leave you know, not gonna turn around
I seemed so far away, when sadness turned it's face
Thought i'd never hit, thought i'd never run
You'll know where you stand, when all's accounted for...
Jealousy...jealousy
Has it's consequences
No one cares what you say
When trust has gone away
It's over you and me,
It ain't what it used to be
No one cares what you say
When truth has gone away
It's all been said before, just try to heal your sores
Like runaway, tomorrow's another day
Daylight suddenly, I'm starving more than usually
Common sympathy... sounded new to me
I know it's been a long time
But I'll be back in a day or two
Don't worry about us now
I promise I'll catch up soon
I'm sick of all the hotel beds
I can't wait to hold you tight
Next Sunday it will be good
Now that the season changed
It's when the daylight saving time ends
And I'll be home (in your arms)
Just don't forget to set your clock
An hour back
You told me not to hang up
We can talk a minute or two
It's such a comfort to me
But the words will disappear
I'm sick of all the collect calls
And all the roadside telephones
Next Sunday it will be over
A reason to carry on.
I'd let you wear my best T-shirt
Cause you're my favorite grocery clerk
I'd do it all, hold nothing back
I'd give you all, you're heart should lack
And if you cry, just think of me
I'll hold your hand, i might play [E]
Don't close your eyes, don't doubt what's true
Just so you know... this song's for you
A simple breath is all i need
Another kiss to help me see
You're all i want, you're all i need
A simple touch is all i feel
Let's sneak out back, don't make a sound
Just stay with me, i'll hang around
I wanna scream "I LOVE YOU"
Just so you know by now,this song's for you
This song is for you
And you might understand
This song is for you
I will never be the same
I will let you call me names
I won't let you feel no shame
I want you to be by my side
This is a love song, i know it's lame
But this is me calling your name
I hope you hear me, cuz when you're in pain
Just so you know by now, i feel the same
Here i go again, starting over again
I'm falling in love, well oh so in love
I know i should not, i know i'll change a lot
But that's the way it is and the way i am
New fun, new girl, new friends, and new faces,
There's so many good things about a girlfriend
My life really changed and rearranged
But i am clueless now, how long will it last?
I hope she'll never let me down
When she'll find another one better than me
Cuz you know, i care
I just wanna make sure that she'll understand
I'm mature, insecure and 21 for sure
And i'm doing things that usually i don't
Sometimes it's good, often is bad
I don't wanna talk about those (bring the bass line)
We're lovers, we're friends, we're the perfect blend We have each other and i hope for ever
If love flies away, we'll catch it anyway [x2]
Here i go again, starting over again
I'm falling in love, well so in love!
I know i should not, i know i'll change a lot
Enough to go somewhere
Up in the mountains where the mountains are so high
I just wanna go with you where the mountains are so high(!)
