Selfish reasons don't excuse the scars we leave on everything
From creatures to earth
And we're the advanced ones?
Advancement to destroy
advancement to ruins
in the name of convenience
for selfish people with easy ways out
No work, no more, no interaction
I'm getting lazy
Social life, so yesterday
Health is just a swallow away
Some more fuel just off these shores
Look at how far we've come
Society will be its own suicide
But we just sit back with eyes glued to the screen
Revel in this idea of "how far we've come"
Married by age twenty five and/dead/by
the time that you've learned to live your/life/is
this what you wanted/Is this what you need?
I won't be content with a life of regrets
Life has become a race of who can die first
But I can't keep up. I wouldn't if I could
And I may hate this place but I'm not rushing to die
And this way of life will have you fall in line
With a standard that has left so many broken and worn out,
Striving to be something that doesn't exist
outside glossy pages and silicone dreams
Our minds are polluted
with garbage by salesmen
Media, not medium
and far from average
I must admit that I'm not free
they have their hold on me
their arms touch everyone
regardless of gender
You are a liar
a selfish murderer
body destroyer
They make a fortune by keeping us sick
These drugs, they do more harm than parents like to think
Medicate blindly
You put these people on a habit that will never see them through
Tell them this is what they need so they keep on paying you
Proven - these pills have never helped
Proven - money rules this industry
Just close your eyes
But you want the quick fix
Even if it doesn't help
Ingesting their drugs
I've watched it all fall down
and you want to tell me that I am wrong
about everything that I've witnessed?
How do you manage to stay so blind to
the way you effect everyone around?
Just a sinking ship with a mind of her own
and no compassion to those that she drowns
Another burning bridge I should not cross
Another mistake I'm sure to make
You're killing you, you're killing me, you're killing us
I've watched it all fall down
All the while falling with it
Just a sinking ship taking me down with it
Get your hand off your back, you haven't done a thing
Is this what you call progression?
Step outside these basement walls, you haven't done a thing
We've got a long way to go
Don't get me wrong
I'd love to see this world
show a little bit
of compassion
But I refuse to think of this as progress
These words you say
these thoughts conveyed
Disgusting
Pose the question
nature/nurture?
Pass the blame
Am I the one who's in the wrong?
Could I be the rarity?
Do I act unnatural?
Now beauty is ripped apart
objectified by heartless
Act like this is right
act like this is natural
Use words of reduction to turn people to objects
My words are not progressive
they are not even learned
so tell me who is natural
and who's desensitized
Please don't worry about me
I'll be fine going at this pace
I know that you want the best
but I'm not ready for that yet.
I'm not trying to worry you
Just taking my time.
Let me make mistakes and I'll learn from them
And I'm sure I'll fall but I'll learn from them
I haven't given up
I can't be reading this right
You're giving him a second chance?
Unleashing him on kids he's already harmed
What makes you think it won't happen again?
Those kids will never have a second chance
And we just don't learn
How many times until enough is enough?
How many lives will you allow him to ruin?
And how do you sleep at night if you can even look at the man who's ruined lives
and think "lets give him back the job."
The job he used to gain the trust of a student.
To turn around and abuse the kid who thought he found a sanctuary
What about him?
A hunger for greed fed by corporations
You don't consider lives or what you're supporting
There is no reason
compassion or political.
Just follow tradition of selfishness
Is taste really worth a living beings life?
Its just selfish
Its just disgusting
Through this cage I see the life I should have had
No blood at my feet
Its filled with freedom
Try hard and maybe you'll have a decent future
Bullshit, you couldn't care less
You're in the wrong job
What, do you think they care
about you or your future?
This is a lesson in lowering self worth
No heart and no feelings, you have no purpose here
Why do you even bother just wasting time
when there are those with so much less
who deserve what you've got.
We all need room to grow
You've set this bar so low
No, thank you
for what you've done for my future
No, thank you
Waking up in disappointment
calloused thoughts, desperate solutions
Another day with no solutions
another day I'm feeling hopeless
Searching for something more
as this world keeps pushing down
No breaks and nothings simple
just reminders of what I've failed
They say that this is just a phase
something that we all outgrow
Well, years gone by and I'm still screaming
it always comes down to this
Breathe in/out
Close my eyes
try to relax
I wish I knew what she wanted from the start
I've got a tongue and friends who'd love a good story
So now that you made headlines what am I left with?
A head full of questions and years of regret
So now that you made headlines I've got to ask it
Are you happy now?
Is it what you wanted?
Is it what you hoped for?
Now you're a story for his bar room friends
and I feel like I've wasted years
Take this string from your finger
and tie it around my neck
because I don't want to see.
Now you're a story for all of his friends
and I'm the joke that's been out told
"If I could treat you like shit then you'd love me forever"
Good hearts aren't dead
Tell her what she needs, what to buy, whats the price
because she doesn't fit your standards
and when she does
raise them again
because you can't afford a customer
So what if you're breaking her down?
As long as you get your paycheck
We'll keep giving you money
just keep telling me I'm ugly
You've got all the answers to questions we've never asked
Some day we'll have enough
Some day we'll all scream
Fuck your impossible standards
Possessions take possession
When we measure happiness in inches
Do you feel accomplishment?
How will you feel tomorrow?
Empty? Forgotten? Misused? Confused?
When I was a young boy I looked forward to a future
Oh so bright and grandiose
It couldn't come soon enough
Now I spend every day questioning my self worth
Wondering what it takes to get by unscathed
Positive outlook/unrealistic ideas/satisfy no one
Life is wasted on a pipe dream
Working harder every day, believing in what they say
Crawling desperate for the door, searching for an escape
Repetition beating down
Taking its toll on me
One season ends
nothing will change
stress is still stress
no matter the name
Wake up each morning
with a choice pre-made
Go through the motions
afraid of change
Can someone please tell me
what day is it?
They have all blended together
they are all the same
And they train us so you can train us
and what do we get?
Nothing
I admit it
I'm a victim to myself
My own worst enemy
I fear all your judgement
even if its in my head
Self doubt keeps pulling
and I am losing
I can't talk to all you
I'm afraid of what you'll say
Paranoia keeps me quiet
But I've got a lot to say
I make a mountain out of the mole hill in my mind
So here I stand before you
a humbled man
I know
Similarities have hit too close
to home for me to feel comfortable
Why are we even screaming when we
have traits way too similar to what we claim
to hate
What sets us apart from their outside world
Why are we even screaming when we
have nothing/nothing left to say
Are we just what we claim
to be different from?
You could have fooled me with
same thoughts, different costume
Rotting, lifeless human being
One step from an early grave
Steal from those you claim to love
Nothing matters anymore
So refresh my memory,
what am I missing out on?
"You've got to try this"
[Tom:] Am I condemned to repeat the mistakes
of my father before me?
And die alone
Are we body parts?
That accept this programming?
That accept this history?
I don't want this
I don't need this
Your history won't define me
Your history won't confine me
[Jeff:] Bloodline infect
Hatred, reject
I don't want this
I don't need this
Your history won't define me
Why do I need to ask
what fucking year is it?
Feet planted so firmly
you outcast those in love
Little girl, I wish I could erase the fear they instilled
Kiss who want, fuck who you want, love who you want
Its all the same
Let the bastards rot
in their misery
while you stay happy
as you fall in love
We are slaves to feelings
Animals/for false hope
A cure for loneliness?
While we should fix ourselves we search for someone else
Temporary results flawed while taking what you get
Settling for complacency will leave us stagnant
While we lose all respect from those important
I deserve so much more
Ready or Not
Summon everything you’ve got
All your forces under the sun
Put the call up into the sky
I’ll take you one by one by one
Come on and take me on (x4)
Your words are like throwing stones
Skipping across my skin
Take a warm look at what has gone before
There’s no way you will ever win
Come on and take me on (x4)
Cause when the war is over,
the fight is done.
Well I’ll be lying in the sun
Yeah when the war is over,
the fight is done.
Well I’ll be lying in the sun
(Instrumental)
The sun’s the only one who sleeps
I can hear everything you say
There’s a small piece of earth between you and me
We can play fight or we can play
Come on and take me on (x4)
Cause when the war is over,
the fight is done.
Well I’ll be lying in the sun
Yeah when the war is over,
the fight is done.
Well I’ll be lying in the sun
When the war is over,
the fight is done.
Well I’ll be lying in the sun (x2)
Yeah when the war is over,
the fight is done.
Your waiting boy, waitin for no man, get yourself a plan but you wait & you wait. Your stolen man time is ticking by your money's running dry but you wait & you wait.
Keep on moving moving steady, you got to rocket to your feet when your ready. Your huffing your puffing your running around most of the time both your feet of the ground. Your huffing your puffing you got to slow down
Your huffing your puffing your running around most of the time both your feet of the ground. Your huffing your puffing you got to slow down
It doesn't have to be like that my friend you neva gonna get the chance again the only choice is you wait
It doesn't have to be like that my friend you neva gonna get the chance again the only choice is you wait
Why why why are you waiting boy
Why why why are you waiting boy
Time time time is awaiting for ya
Time time time is awaiting for ya
get on your feet son go get another one
get on your feet son go get another one
Your huffing your puffing your running around most of the time both your feet of the ground. Your huffing your puffing you got to slow down
Your huffing your puffing your running around most of the time both your feet of the ground. Your huffing your puffing you got to slow down
It doesn't have to be like that my friend you neva gonna get the chance again the only choice is you wait
It doesn't have to be like that my friend you neva gonna get the chance again the only choice is you wait
the only choice is you wait
the only choice is you wait
the only choice is you wait
Greed is the killer
And green is the colour you desire
Aggression at cost
you fill up your pocket
then your hatred fuels the fire
Oh...
Don't be so cold
(Don't be so cold)
Don't be so cold
(Don't be so cold)
Take it or leave it
(well) You make the choice for us
Than you silence people's voices
(and) now we experience,
cause and effect!
The victims of profit
(oh) we cannot forget
Don't be so cold
(Don't be so cold)
Don't be so cold
(Don't be so cold...)
So cold...
??????
We should find the answer lies... (with love)
We should find the answer lies... (with love)
We should find the answer lies... (with love)
We should find the answer lies... (with love)
We should find the answer lies... (with love)
We should find the answer lies... (with love)
We should find the answer lies... (with love)
We should find the answer lies... (with love)
Believes in love but never lets it show
Holds back words that could bring so much more but
She believes there is love in sight
But still can't make up her mind
Over the hills she went
Across the sea to sand
To search for what could mean so much more
So elusive that tainted lover
[Chorus]:
And what you want take your chances
And he'll be standing there as a friend
(Repeat)
So you never got all the cards
You take a look and you see you're holding everyone
Many sides to love in sight
But you still can't make up your mind
Over the hills she went
Across the sea to sand
To search for what could mean so much more
So elusive that tainted lover
[Chorus]
Seems so easy to get all caught up in
What should be so innocent
You've been hurt and we know it's tough friend
With what you want take your chances
Who's gonna help those struggling
Who's gonna watch their backs for them
With no water in their well
And no food for the fire
Good people if you understand
It doesn't take much to lend your hand
And give to those less fortunate
What they cannot get themselves
You can close your eyes
It wont go away
Burgers and fries while the struggler pays
You shoe off the flies
They still hang around
Feel the vultures staring down at ya
You can't hide from what you know is true
There's always someone else worse off than you
And if there was something that you could do
Would you reach out and do it?
Intelligent people of this land
Help with ya neighbour if you can
Don't be afraid to lend your hand
Take what you need
And give what you can
Do it, give what you can
Oh yeah
Oh yeah-eh-eh
VERSE 1:
The sweetest stuff, you give to me
It makes me feel fine
Every little word that you say to me
Keeps my heart on time
Red blood flowin' like a rough rapid
When you are near by
Ain't no doubt 'cos it's plain to see
You set my soul on fire
CHORUS:
Something so true
Is what I get from you
An' I hope that you'll see
You get the best of me
[2 TIMES]
Oo wee
VERSE 2:
Most generous love, you spread around
To the people in your life
Sharing the weight and the pressure
Just to make it right
I hope one day that you get it back
If that karma stuff is true
Here's a little song just to make a start
Called something so true
CHORUS...
SOLO...
CHORUS...
Oh yeah...
OUTRO:
The tighter you wind it up
The harder it's gonna hit you and
The faster that you run is how much quicker it will catch you
You can't escape from yourself
(Repeat)
You pushed it until it snapped
But now I wouldn't turn your back cause
When you least expect it's gonna
Grab you by the neck kid and ...
Now that you've made a mess
Now that you've made a mess
[Chorus]:
Slingshot
Slingshot
The sum of all your actions
Slingshot ? Slingshot get ya
And it's coming back round
Yes, it's coming back round ? Hey!
Simmer down your temper now
Don't inflame your problem
With each step that you're making
Sends you in the wrong direction
Holding on to everything
(Repeat)
Love is given, taken away
Never take more than you give I say
Life has a way of telling us
When your causing a mess or fuss and
I can hear it coming closer
(Repeat)
[Chorus]
What you give, it's coming back to you
(Repeat x3)
I can hear it coming closer
(Repeat)
Every action, causes a reaction
Through the constellations, of natural selection
We are connected through the chain of life
From the beginning of time itself
I look through the keyhole
Into worlds unknown
See the clusters of the stars baby
Whispering tales of origin
We are affected, and we are rejected
Nurtured, and wasted
Loved, loved, loved and hated
Destroyed, destroyed and recreated
[Chorus]:
People don't close the door on Love
Is your life not knocking loud enough
Cause it does exist inside your heart
Every beat does send a message out
We're all made up of the same things yeah
Pieced together by the same things yeah
So don't you forget just
How your actions might affect us
From small ripples into waves my friend
Small ripples into waves my friend
Just be careful what you're craving yeah
Just be careful what you're craving
We are affected, and we are rejected
Nurtured, and wasted
Loved, loved, loved and hated
Destroyed, destroyed and recreated
[Chorus]
[Instrumental]
Can't put it down. Can't pick it up
Can't put it down no
Can't pick it up. Can't can't can't can't can't pick it up
But that day is coming
Get to the point that sticks, in your side
But that day is coming
Get to the point that sticks, in your side
But that day is coming
A change is coming, turning of the page
Letting go of all frustration and what is selfish gain
Won't be afraid and we can get fooled
By insecure thoughts trying to take over and trying to rule
No one to blame, and no excuses
So easy to paint a picture and feel that we can't undo
What we think we are from what we're told
Healing of the soul reshape the path to walk into your arms
And I will embrace now and I will be true
Ain't letting this pain compromise the love that I have for you
Can't put it down no. Can't pick it up
Can't put it down. Can't pick it up
Can't can't can't can't can't pick it up
But that day is coming
Get to the point that sticks, in your side
But that day is coming
Get to the point that sticks, in your side
But that day is coming
Get to the point that sticks, in your side
Listen to the winds of change
Bring forth a brighter day
And hold on to your hat now
Or it could blow away
Tighten your grip and hold on
Just take a sip and move on
You'll never be the same again
Your future's embracing a new direction
What can you say. Every little things gonna be o.k.
Open the gate. Now is your time to play
And listen to your heart conversing
Conversing with your soul
And don't you forget now
That nobody really knows yeah
[Chorus]:
It's gonna take me one step at a time baby
Moving forward with all my Love
Help me to be a better man
Share with me all the lessons learnt
(Repeat)
Nobody really knows. The true meaning of this life
You got to find out for yourself
People try and run you down but
All you have to do is step away, step, step, step
And people try and drag you down but
All you have to do is step away, step, step, step
From the hillside to the sea
Let your love wash over me
Oh yeah
Over river - mountain - skies
Watch it drift on through the skies
Tide rolls out - tide rolls in
Let your love inside begin to grow
Let it bloom
Into something beautiful
Something beautiful
Yeah yeah
Come on just
Cool me
Cool me
Cool me down
Cool me down
Cool me down
Let your love wash over...wash over me
Let your love wash over me
Wash over me girl
(yeah yeah yeah)
i feel your seasons changing me
winter fires- autumn breeze
a sweet song rises- watch it breathe
your shining light for all to see
tide rolls out- tide rolls in
let your love inside begin to grow
let it bloom
into something beautiful (yeah yeah yeah)
something beautiful
come on just
cool me
cool me
cool me down
cool me down
cool me down
baby baby just
cool me
cool me
cool me down
cool me down
cool me down
Well, is it one step forward or two steps back
Who really wants to know
As we dance with the mysteries of the machines
Driving us through history maybe to dust
Now we are placed to embrace we got to keep searching
How long will the fires burn
With the stories that we're told who gets to tell them
Trying to shock us to change our view
Think the caught us in the middle
Time to make our move
In each day projections to make us numb to what we really want
As we slave to the rhythm seems like our only defense
As they are slaves to the gun
Now we are placed to embrace we got to keep searching
How long will the fires burn
With the lies that we are told who gets to tell them
Trying to shock us to change our view
Think they caught us in the middle
Time to make a move
Between the lines in the riddle trying to see some truth
Time to make our move
(Repeat x3)
[Instrumental]
Between the lines in the riddle trying to see some truth
Think they caught us in the middle
Time to make our move
Love is a radiation
It's everywhere you go
And even in times of desperation
The people still let it show
Love is a celebration
It's the smile that goes around
And if it comes before you
It's too hard to turn it down
Bring forth the goodness in your spirit
Sharing the kindness of your heart
Open your mind to its existence
Release the pressure building up
Love is a meditation
Yes it calms a worried mind
But having someone
Thats the real thing
And is truly hard to find
Love is a radiation
(Repeat x3)
Bring forth the goodness in your spirit
Sharing the kindness of your heart
Open your mind to its existence
Hey son there seems to be some confusion this ain't a competition just an exploration
Hey boy there's been an altercation something's been the problem we think you've filled out the wrong form
Yo sista there's been a disagreement we think that you should leave it we think its for your own good.

Don't let them talk, treat you like that
Don't let them talk, treat you like that
Don't let them talk to you down to the ground

Yo sista there's been a disagreement we think that you should leave it we think its for your own good.
Hey sista who's that guy your round with was he overrated i made it my business

Don't let them talk to you down to the ground
Don't let them talk, treat you like that
Don't let them talk, treat you like that
Don't let them talk, treat you like that
It's a crazy situation
Got to curb my expectations
The ones that I put on others too
And when people try to lay one down on you
You got to step
Move to your left and put up your fend
Don't leave yourself so open again
Hands up high push it to the right
I'm not gonna let you make me feel uptight
Cause I'm keeping a little something
Keeping a little something of myself
Hey, we don't have time for your negative style
No we don't
We don't, no we don't
Hey, we don't have time for your negative vibe
No we don't
We don't, no we don't
You know it takes some work to get that positive vibe
And some people they just don't get it sometimes
So you want to play it cool?
Now tell me who is the fool
You got to step
Move to your left and put up your fend
Don't leave yourself so open again
Hands up high twist it to the right
I'm not gonna let you make me feel uptight
Cause I'm keeping a little something
Time to let go in so many ways
Feeling like my soul has been misplaced
When looking for what is real on the roundabout
Is it left or right I can't see the way out
And all the words you give me are true
Sometimes we don't see eye to eye
Our history shapes us we can't deny
Stray from the shadows and the reasons why
The dust is off our wings it's time to fly
And all the words you give me are true
You know I'm safe inside in your god
And now I realize I never call
Well here come the arrows but I know
I'm not bulletproof
I'm not bulletproof
Now there will come a day and I'll see you smile
Given me your love you made me try
To see past the shadows and the reasons why
Always in my heart a part of my life
And all the words you give me are true
You know I'm safe inside in your god
And now I realize I never call
Well here come arrows and the stones
Well here come the arrows but I know
I'm not bulletproof
You don't know me
Like I know myself
So don't assume
What you cannot know
There's what you think
And there's what's fact
But only I can tell you
Just where I'm at
There's what is real
And what your dreaming
So don't get confused
With what you want believe
Analyse yourself
Before you criticize me
I wouldn't do that to you
That's not how I want to be
Hey hey
So take it easy, take it easy
Take it easy, let me do my thing
You don't know me
And you don't own me
So please don't assume
What you cannot know
You don't know me
But I bet you wish you did
So take it easy
And let me do my thing
Take it easy! (x4)
What you think you waiting for?
Time is slipping by the waistside
You turn a day into a month or more
Lazy, waiting for the coming tide
But every day is just the same in your life
All the faces look the same in your eyes
You tell your frineds you're gonna change it's all lies
Back it up
Sort it out
and don't apologise
You've got to get up on your feet
(get up off your backside)
You got to get up off your knees
(get up off your backside)
And wait in line is not for me
(get up off your backside)
I've got to get just what I need
(get up off your backside)
What you think you waiting for?
Time is slipping by the waistside
You turn a day into a month or more
Lazy, waiting for the coming tide
But every day is just the same in your life
All the faces look the same in your eyes
You tell your frineds you're gonna change it's all lies
Back it up
Sort it out
and don't apologise
You've got to get up on your feet
(get up off your backside)
You got to get up off your knees
(get up off your backside)
And wait in line is not for me
(get up off your backside)
I've got to get just what I need
'n' Tell my head to stop messin' around,
'cause I couldn't take it again (Oh)
When your heart just feels so down,
When you don't wanna take the blame (No)
Besides you know there's something wrong,
y' Don't know how to deal with it...
I'm sorry that my words were cold,
they seem to make you shiver within (Eh)
(CHORUS)
Let's turn it around, babe
'cause it's gettin' us down (yea)
(REPEAT)
Tell my eyes to stop making things up,
'cause it's only gonna bring me down
Baby if you only knew that (Oh)
I won't let it get in the way
'n' Tell my head to stop messin' around,
'cause I couldn't take it again (Oh)
When your heart just feels so down,
When you don't wanna take the blame (Eh)
(CHORUS)
(electronic) ~StOp MeSsIn' ArOuNd~
Upon the earth descends a dwindling crown
A line of deciduous kings throned in ancient groves
The winds of October bear their royalty
A solemn veil of splendour before the winter’s wrath
Standing tall on mountains
As light of autumn fades
Nature’s sprawling statues
In fiery auburn shades
Sentries of the seasons
Betrothed to earth and sky
Raise their blazoned armour
Towards the heavens high
Unchallenged in their majesty
But by the strike of heaven’s fire
The rage of the axe blade’s swing
And the grinding of many ages passing
Morning brings chills from northern skies
Crystalline lies dew like stars on root and leaf
Signs that beckon life into retreat
Gliding down the road to slumber
Fir and ash and willow bow their heads
To stand through winter’s judgement
Lifeless are the skies on autumn’s waning days
Diffused in muted grey moves an endless sea along the woodlands
Cast no shadows under mighty kings
Suppress the reign of colour till the green dawn that brings us spring
Sentries of the seasons
Betrothed to earth and sky
Raise their blazoned armour
Towards the heavens high
Standing tall on mountains
As light of autumn fades
Nature’s sprawling statues
In fiery auburn shades
With the rise of Orion in the skies
The great planet comes forth
Fastening through the ages
To reach us and throw us in the dark
The night of Nibiru lasts long
And stars shrivelled behind its shadow
With the flame inside us burning
We shed wine and fruit on our way to Emmeshara
With the rise of Orion in the skies
The great planet comes forth
Fastening through the ages
To reach us and throw us in the dark
There dwells our queen Ereshkigal
Who had welcomed us in an enduring renewal
For a swim in the ocean of the netherworlds
Understanding comes upon our bright souls
For a swim in the ocean of the netherworlds
Understanding comes upon our bright souls
With the flame inside us burning
Of Pathless Woods
The sun sinks its way through the evening sky
In a crescendo of colour
Painting a dying blaze on a canvas green
Stretched as far as the eagle’s flight
Time has no meaning here
Far removed from the dealings of men
In this untrodden old growth domain
Where the paths are none and the ways are of yore
Nature’s bliss untamed
By foreign species’ greed
There is no need for laws
Where mankind does not dwell
A maze of root and moss
To trap the essence of life
What withers will be reborn
Rising from the forest floor
The winds that came from shores
On North-West peaceful waters
Bear every spore and seed
To fruition beyond the trees
Perpetuance of pathless woods
You are the girl
That I've been dreaming of

He ain't tryin' to have a rival

Jane, I've made it plain,
Although I'm faded as a ghost
I want you here inside me,
Say the word.
Oh, you've been playing nice,
But I can see it in your eyes
You're thinking, "Christ,
He's everybody's girl."
You can't spend the night...
Jane, I've seen you at the club
You were tearin' up the rug
With no regard for form,
You're such a brute!
You had a ready elbow
For the girls you hate or just don't know.
You head-butt me,
Cos you thought it was cute.
You can't spend the night...
Yes, I'm sure you're right
You can't spend the night...
Yeah, I'm sure you're right.
You can't spend the night...
Yes, I'm sure you're right.
But we could spend the night together
Or alone, that would be better
It's Friday night and I ain't got nobody
Oh, what's the use of making a bed?
I took something and it feels like karate
It's kicked me down and left me for dead.
It's Friday night and I ain't got nobody
So what's the use of pulling a shape?
I put what I want, when I want, in my body
I'm never gonna give what I take
Jane, I've seen the pain you've dealt
You've been with all my friends
You tell me guard my heart,
I might get hurt.
No doubt you'll hurt my feelings,
And it's a given I'll be kneeling
But I'm telling myself
That it's gonna be worth it.
You can't spend the night...
Yes, I'm sure you're right
You can't spend the night...
Yeah, I'm sure you're right.
You can't spend the night...
Yes, I'm sure you're right.
But we could spend the night together
Or alone, that would be better
It's Friday night and I ain't got nobody
Oh, what's the use of making a bed?
I took something and it feels like karate
It's kicked me down and left me for dead.

My girl's been a real whore,
Spending her time with Theodore
Now Teddy, he's my best friend
But with friends like these,
Who needs enemies?
My mother, she told me,
"You're being silly,
Talking talking crazy"
Don't tell me what my problem is
Just tell me what she's doing at his
Apartment at night
I didn't get an invite
Tonight on my birthday,
That ain't half right
My best boy, Teddy
That skeezer, how could he?
Goddamn it, girl, just love me already!
Can't you love love love me already?
Love love love me already, baby
Love love love me already
Love love love me already, baby
My father, he told me,
"Biting or begging,
Love hurts your knees
You can't treat women like hotels.
Why should she love you?
She knows you so well."
Now I'm at a payphone
Humming so slow
To her busy tones
Now I knock on Ted's door
Keeping time with my heartbeat
(Now he knocks on Ted's door
Keeping time with his heartbeat)
Now I knock on Ted's door
Keeping time with my heartbeat
The whore lets me in, and it looks like a party.
Surprise! Surprise! It's your party, baby
I know you hate secrets but try not to hate me
Yeah, Teddy and I, we kept it all on the sly
So baby, don't cry
And please won't you try
To love me already?
Love me already
So baby, don't cry
And please won't you try
So baby, don't cry
And please won't you try
To love love love me already?
Love love love me already, baby
Love love love me already
Love love love me already, baby
Love love love me already
Love love love me already, baby
Love love love me already
Love love love me already, baby
Ready, baby
Ready, baby
Ready, baby
