I? m paralyzed, process information at the speed of light
I? m frozen in motion
Desensitized, over stimulated matter over mind
I know it
I have become comfortably dumb
(I have become comfortably dumb)
I have become comfortably dumb
(I have become comfortably dumb)
I must confess, highly educated in my ignorance
I'm not stupid, still lucid
Indifferent, watching a world amuse itself to death
I? m muted
I have become comfortably dumb
(I have become comfortably dumb)
I have become, come, comfortably dumb
(I have become comfortably dumb)
What? When? Why? Where?
How come? Who cares?
Knock, knock, who? s there?
No one, how come? Who cares?
I have become, I, comfortably dumb, dumb
I, I, I have become, I, I, comfortably dumb
(I have become comfortably dumb)
I, I have become, I, comfortably dumb
(I have become comfortably dumb)
Take me away, so far away
So far away, won? t somebody take me away?
Take, take it all away
She don't worry about tomorrow
Nothing further from her mind
She don't need to beg or borrow
Time is on her side
She like colouring the rainbow
Never paint between the lines
She like to chase away the shadow
Watch them run and hide
Kiss me in the morning
Before I open up my eyes
Would you kiss me in the morning
Sunrise
See her dancing on the water
Washing dreams upon the shore
Heaven wanting you to call her
Knocking at your door
She my centre of attention
Nothing further from my mind
Point me in the right direction
Sunshine shine your light
Would you kiss me in the morning
Before I open up my eyes
Would you kiss me in the morning
Sunrise alright
Sunrise kiss and I will follow
Sunrise shine your light
Sunrise filling up my hollow
Sunrise sunrise
Sunrise kiss and I will follow
Sunrise shine your light
Sunrise filling up my hollow
Sunrise sunrise sunrise
She helped me find my way
Find your groove
Then drop the hammer
Overtake
But don't you kick
A leg out of bed
Gettin' loose
Don't keep it matted
A rooster tail
And you're never
Gonna qualify
Never gonna qualify
Slingshot
Gotta hit the apex
Sneak attack
Yeah
You are the the man
On the move
Dirty air
Hangin' in a vortex
Can you feel the rub?
It's a shootout as we
Slide it in
Never gonna qualify
Slide it in, no, no way
Don't become
An emotional wreck
Take it slow, pit row
You're moving to fast
They can read
Your telemetry
Get you in, Get you out
In less than fifteen
Stop
Get you some slicks
Nice and tight
Get your fine fresh rubber
Take the flag
And shake the champagne
All your lizards
Are waiting
And ready to play
Ready to play
Hey, let me know, let me know
Let me know when you get there
Hey, so you got to go, you're leaving what a pity
Hey, take your time, take a life time, time to find out
The world is yours so go out and get it
And you Run, when you know there's no escape
You can't hide from your mistakes
Should have known it all along
Hey, spinning round, spinning round
Paint the town as the world turns
Hey, hit the ground running round in circles
Hey, nothing new, nothing new, nothing new to discover
And you still haven't found what you're looking for
And you Run, when you know there's no escape
You can't hide from your mistakes
Should have known it all along
And you Run, when you know there's no escape
You can't hide from your mistakes
Should have known it all along
So you run, never bothered to explain
Left me here with all the blame
Thought you wanted to be loved
Heavy is the burden
That brings you
To your knees
Lost in the confusion
Of life's uncertainties
Feel you're suffocating
With every breath you take
Moment left remaining
Time for you to pray
Time for you to pray
Pray for peace
Pray for peace
Pray for peace
Pray for peace
Whirl wind
She's a-turning
The river's
On the rise
Suddenly surrounded
In the middle
Middle of her eye
Light precedes
The thunder trembles
Trembles and it shakes
The ground your feet
Are under
Time for you to pray
Time for you to pray
Pray for peace
Pray for peace
Pray for peace
Pray for peace
Let me introduce you to my time machine
See my suped up bird spread her golden wings
Going back in black through my neighbourhood
My main street middle class Hollywood
Jenny's all jet-set Purple Rain cassette
Looking like she was the queen of the 80's
And if I knew back then what I know right now
Yeah you know I'd be the king of the ladies
If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
And if I knew back then what I know right now
There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
Just an average Joe making minimum wage
Burger flipping on the beach
Instead of hitting the wave
When the girls walk by with their copper tone tan
Sucker punching the clocks, stop working for the man
Well there aint no cure for the summertime blues
Oh Candy, oh would you save me?
And if I knew back then what I know right now
Yeah you know I'd be the king of the ladies
If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
And if I knew back then what I know right now
There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
And if I knew back then what I know right now
There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
I walked up to the dance in the High school gym
This girl with drop-dead legs, I'm moving in
You know must have been the DJ spinning Billy Jean
I tapped Nikki on the shoulder told dance with me
It's like that scene from Grease
The way we bumped to the beat
I had the girl give me the slip
She got away from me
Coz if I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd have the pick of the ladies
If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
And if I knew back then what I know right now
There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
And if I knew back then what I know right now
There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
And if I knew back then what I know right now
There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
If I knew back then what I know right now
You know I'd be the king of the ladies
And if I knew back then what I know right now
There'd be no ifs, and buts and no maybes
Don't want to fall in love
Don't want to fall in love again
And you don't know where I've been
Don't want to fall in love again
I will not fall,
Is it a matter of love, or a matter of pride?
Can't stop a broken heart from bleeding
Don't make it harder than it has to be
Nothing worth love is ever easy
Love is never easy
So if you want my love tell me now
And if you need my love I'll show you how
Just open up your heart and let me love you
Learn to love again, learn to love again
Better to love and lose than never ever love at all?
So tell me something new, tell me why do fools fall?
Tell me why, yeah why do they fall?
Ain't a matter of love, it's a matter of pride
Can't stop a broken heart from bleeding
Don't make it harder than it has to be
Nothing worth love is ever easy
Love is never easy
So if you want my love tell me now
And if you need my love I'll show you how
Just open up your heart and let me love you
Learn to love again, learn to love again
I should have known it all along
I should have know that I...
Can't stop a broken heart from bleeding
Don't make it harder than it has to be
Nothing worth love is ever easy
Love is never easy
So if you want my love tell me now
And if you need my love I'll show you how
Just open up your heart and let me love you
Learn to love again, learn to love again
So if you want my love no need to ask
And if you need my love forget the past
Just open up your heart and let me love you
Learn to love again, learn how to love again
Tell me there's no need to be afraid
They're only shadows cast, past this place
Where voices carry at the speed of sound
If I should cry before they lay me down
Sorry for the words, words I left unsaid
Sorry being one of the words I did forget
All the time we spent, wasted in the end
Every precious moment taken for granted
There in the corner of my mind
Lies the weight of my regret
Between the shadow and the light
Ghost you're in my head
Shelter from the storm when I sleep
There's comfort in the morn, a siren sings
If only for a moment, I can breathe
The thought of you comes crashing through on me
Sorry for the words, words I left unsaid
Sorry being one of the words I did forget
All the time we spent, wasted in the end
Every precious moment taken for granted
There in the corner of my mind
Lies the weight of my regret
Between the shadow and the light
Ghost you're in my head
Ghost you're in my head
Tell me there's no need to be afraid
They're only shadows cast past has played
Where voices carry at the speed of sound
If I should die before I lay me down
I'm sorry for the way, the way I treated you
A little bit too late, but if you only knew
I'd take away the pain, pain I put you through
I'd do it all again walking in your shoes
There in the corner of my mind
Lies the weight of my regret
Between the shadow and the light
Ghost you're in my head
Ghost you're in my head
He speaks of meekness
Being no sign of weakness
Gently placing the flower in the gun
Well intended pacifism a naive idealism
Singing his favourite Lennon song
Bleeding heart insisting preach
The path of least resisting
Milk and honey rolling off of his tongue
War is not he answer turn the other cheek
And offer sacrificing on the altar of love
Flower man
Singing lets all
Give peace a chance
Flower man
Keep your head
Buried in the sand
Flower man
You're my enemy's
Best friend
Flower man
You misguided utopian
Peace in appeasing
Like it's always in season
Never needed to weather the storm
Betting on your better angels
Ignoring human nature in truth
Red tooth and in claw
Lion and lamb lay
In your land of make pretend
Forgetting every soldier and son
Lest you care
To measure all the blood
And the treasure
Must be something worth
Fighting for. No?
Is it worth fighting for?
Flower man singing
Lets all
Give peace a chance
Flower man
Keep your head
Buried in the sand
Flower man
You're my enemy's
Best friend
Flower man
Liberty
Is a well armed lamb
Ladies and gentlemen
I give you flower man
Love is on the way
Love is on the way
Or so they say
He speaks of meekness
Being no sign of weakness
Gently placing
The flower in the gun
Well intended pacifism
A naive idealism
Singing his favourite Lennon song
Bleeding heart insisting preach
The path of least resisting
Milk and honey rolling off
Of his tongue
War is not he answer
Turn the other cheek
And offer sacrificing
On the altar of love
Flower man
Singing lets all
Give peace a chance
Flower man
Keep your head
Buried in the sand
Flower man
You're my enemy's
Best friend
Flower man
Liberty
Is a well armed lamb
I'm paralysed
Process information
At the speed of light
I'm frozen
In motion
Desensitized
Over stimulated matter
Over mind
Knowing I have become
Comfortably dumb
I have become
Comfortably dumb
I must confess
Highly educated
In my ignorance
Not stupid
Still lucid
Indifferent
Watching a world
Amuse itself to death
I'm muted
I have become
Comfortably dumb
I have become
Comfortably dumb
What? When?
Why? Where?
How come?
Who cares?
Knock, knock
Who's there?
No one
How come?
Who cares?
I have become
Comfortably dumb
I have become
Comfortably dumb
Take me away
So far away
So far away
Won't somebody
Take me away
Take
Take it all away
I don't know where I'm going
But I do know where I've been
I wonder if I'm growing
Forever chasing wind
I've got to keep on moving
Destination still unknown
The more I keep on looking
The more I feel so alone
I never ask you where you're going, so don't ask me
Where are you going?
Not everybody knows where they're supposed to be
Where are you going?
So if you'll please point me in the right vicinity
Where are you going?
I never ask you where you're going, so don't ask me
I'm not so good so far
Fell off the beaten track
'Cause sometimes we go forward
you might say hey, i lost my sense of humor
i'm quite surprised i didn't lose it sooner
why waste your breath on anything less
then talk so trivial
as a man who ran out of material
why did the chicken go across the road
to get to the other side
i'm still waiting for the punchline
whoever said the grass always grows
greener on the other lied
i'm still waiting for the punchline
the good ol' days i was known to wear a smile
like all good things they've gone out of style
i will admit, usually a quick wit
i found bemusing
what used to be, no longer are amusing
it's nothing that you said,
no nothing that you did
must have been a bad joke,
that's gone over my head
what me worry, another tragedy
the latter plus time, equals comedy
so tell me what can i do
that you couldn't see through
from the very start
there is only one thing
yet to come from my heart
loving you, unconditionally
loving you, unconditionally
that's what i want to be
what you are to me
can you see why it's so hard
for me to break apart
from all the things i hold
closer to a heart
that has grown, far too cold
loving you, unconditionally
something new
to a heart yet not free
that's what i want to be
what you are to me
and though it seems impossible
when both of my hands are full
that's the only condition
that keeps me
last round
looks like i'm in for a fight
knocked down
there is nowhere left to hide
stick 'n' move
when i try to run away
old one two
i only end up face to face
mirror mirror getting clearer
it's just me and my shadow
dancing round the ring
i try to fight it
but then how can i win
when i'm only shadow boxing
time out
i'm looking for a
standing eight
no doubt
my inside has come out to play
bob 'n' weave
it's conscious of my
every move
been deceived
can no longer ignore the truth
mirror mirror getting clearer
so you're a self proclaimed messiah
or maybe a blasphemes liar
a clever hypnotic hoax
a hallowed heretic coax
who tells these stories so old
no, never the same twice told
speaking in distorted thruths
i see that thomas wants some proof
did you come to heal the sick
with one more magician's trick
ye generation seeks a sign
while blind keeps leading the blind
so you say there is no god
just a clever man's charade
a once upon a fairy tales fraud
has god made man or man made god
there is no god
confused thy talk in parables
accused thou walk in parallels
a simple game of simon says
this month's flavor sciences
today's fact, tomorrow's fiction
leave the rest to superstition
if knowledge comes from learning books
wisdom comes from discerning looks
a fool that says there is no god
don't feel for that sorry sod
who needs proof then he'll believe
i wonder if he's been deceived
respect,
always everybody looking for some
respect,
who do you think you're gonna get it from
respect,
anybody here deserving of none
respect,
tell me what makes you think
you're not the one
no respect, no respect none
no respect, no respect none
no respect, no respect none
no respect, no respect none
respect,
why be concerned with
public adulation
respect,
pat on the back crying
for attention
respect,
finding out what it really
means to me
respect,
honor comes only after
so you want me to take it off
just to see what's
underneath my cloth
i'll show you i'm every
inch a man
measure all that you
think you can
i'm more than what
meets the eye
flesh 'n' blood is
often a white lie
by the cover you misjudge
the book
open your mind and take
another look
naked, and i'm unashamed
naked, with no one to blame
naked, ya you want the truth
naked, here's my birthday suit
naked, naked, naked, naked
i pretend to be not anyone
except me and my imperfections
there is nothing i
expect of you
that you wouldn't
expect of me, too
will you excuse me for my ignorance
'cause i can see only one
difference
those of you who seek to find
while all the others choose
Never Been Funked
I ain't trying to make no political statement
I ain't trying to tell you the news of the world
I ain't one to give intellectual realness
I just want you to want me the way that I do
Don't it make you feel good, make you feel good?
Don't it make you feel good?
You ain't never been funked like this before
Never been funked, never been funked
You ain't never been funked like this before
I don't keep in touch with economical worries
My interest don't lie in that same old story
Communicating was never my problem
I never have to talk to get through to you
Talk,talk
Do you really want to funk with me?
you'll be gone tomorrow
you'll be gone tomorrow
gone tomorrow
you're preoccupied
with the latest fashion
hip today, hip today
with wide open eyes
on the next big thing
you can cash in
hip today, hip today
no never contrived
it's an overnight sensation
a clever disguise
that hides all of your
pretension
sally's selling out
her seashells for souls
hope i don't die
before i get old
hip today
you'll be gone tomorrow
you'll be gone tomorrow
gone tomorrow
dancing in your head
visions of rave reviews
hip today, hip today
believing all that's read
conceiving another guru
hip today, hip today
having made your bed
falling short of filling shoes
you've been left for dead
'cause there's always
someone new
sally's selling out
her seashells for souls
hope i don't die
Now's not the time to say goodbye
And I'm not the kind to question why
Well I don't feel very well, and it's getting cold as hell
It won't be the same, can't you tell?
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me on my own
I'm so afraid
Why can't you stay?
Just don't leave me alone
How long will my song be wrong?
Doing the things I should have known
Only to reap what I have sown
Jesus, please
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me on my own
I'm on my knees
Forgive me please
Just don't leave me alone
How long will my song be wrong?
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me on my own
I'm so afraid
Why can't you stay?
Just don't leave, don't leave... me alone
today don't look so bad
compared to tomorrow
if time is all we have
then we're living on borrowed
yesterday's for fools
who try to remember
the good ol' days
weren't always that
much better
cynical fuck
well i ain't nothing but a
cynical fuck
it don't take much to be a
cynical, all you need is love
all you need is what to be a
and whatever you do
someone's done it first
though it's sad but true
this us just another verse
if you can't take it with you
then what's the use
i never saw a u-haul
being pulled behind a hearse
looks like my brighter side
has gotten a bit darker
i must have stepped over
my four leaf clover
'cause someone drank my
little lamb come out of
the rain
you'll catch your death in
the cold
a helping hand to come ease
the pain
in peace you'll rest in
our fold
i can be a watch
towering light
for those of you who can't see
i'll separate the truth
from the lies
blind faithful come follow me
evilangelist
you name is on my list
i'm your evilangelist
in what god you trust
close your eyes while i
hypnotize
a friend in need to confess
you've been denied the cock
crowed thrice
surrender all you possess
evilangelist
your name is on my list
i'm your evilangelist
i was betrayed by a kiss
so many claim
to come in thy name
promising peace they'll bring
lest ye taste
the fruit of the vine
they're just wolves in
Hey Kid, wanna have some fun?
Choose a side and here's your gun
Brought up knowing right from wrong,
squash the meek, inherit the strong
Just try and cross the line,
Don't even bother to waste my time
What's that look in your eyes?
It's time I cut you down to size
This world ain't big enough for two,
And I've got my sights on you
WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE,
I'M A WARHEAD, YOU'RE A WARHEAD
A WARHEAD JUST LIKE ME?
HE'S A WARHEAD, SHE'S A WARHEAD
WATCH 'EM SCREAM 'N YELL
WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE, A WARHEAD TOO
WHEN I BLOW THEM
STRAIGHT TO HELL
Ramboy, it's us and them
Just like your Daddy in Vietnam
Monkey see, Monkey do,
Your boy's grown up
Just like you
This world ain't
Big enough for two
and I've got my
eye on you
I've seen Black heads,
White heads,
Red heads,
Dead heads,
Big heads,
Shit heads,
but, there's no heads
Flowers, I sent,
were found dead on their arrival
The words, I said,
inserted foot in my mouthful
So when, we dance,
My lead it ain't so graceful
(Isn't so, not ain't so)
I'm a hapless romantic
St-t-tuttering p-poet
Just call me a tragic comic
'cause I'm in, in love with you
And when, we dine,
I forget to push in your seat
I wear, the wine,
spilling hearts all over my sleeve
A stitch, in time,
proposing down on my knees
(Splitting between the seams)
I'm a hapless romantic
St-t-tuttering p-poet
Just call me a tragic comic
'cause I'm in, in love with you
Nobody can know the trouble I've seen
Nobody can know the trouble I've seen
Nobody can know the trouble I get into
when I'm with you
Tragic comedy
I'm a hapless romantic
St-t-tuttering p-poet
Just call me a tragic comic
'cause I'm in, in love with you
I'm a hapless romantic
St-t-tuttering p-poet
Just call me a tragic comic
'cause I'm in, in love with you
Let's talk of peace,
Sounds so cliche
A novelty, catch phrase of the day
Middle, index,
Sign of the time
Just as complex,
As water to...
Someone said give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
While we're sitting on the fence
Pretending,
Our hearts are in the right place
But, your face
Shows a trace of,
Hypocrisy,
Don't tread on me,
Now you can see
MAKE LOVE NOT WAR, SOUNDS SO ABSURD, TO ME
WE CAN'T AFFORD TO SAY THESE WORDS, LIGHTLY
OR ELSE OUR WORLD, WILL TRULY, REST IN PEACE
Let's not pretend,
to justify
Rather amend,
Where treasures lie
Straight through the heart,
Peace can be found
That's where you start,
Not all around
Someone said give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
While we're sitting on the fence
Pretending,
Our hearts are in the right place
But, your face
Shows a trace of,
Hypocrisy,
Don't tread on me, boy
Now you can see
Wars 'n rumors
Of wars, no one knows what for
Toys and soldiers
Deployed, on some foreign shore
Lords and rulers
Destroy, diplomatic rapport
Communists, dictatorships
Democracies, hypocrisies
Ask not what your country can do?
To a one world governmental zoo
POLITICAL, POLITICAL
POLITICALAMITY
IT'S AN-AR-CHY
POLITICAL, POLITICAL
POLITICALAMITY
Rich 'n poor
Salute your country's colors
Less is more
When one oppresses the other
Pride 'n power
Decorated upon collars
Donkeys, bears 'n elephants
All paper-trained on parliament
Ask not what your country can do?
PEACEMAKER DIE,

I have a dream this afternoon,
That the brotherhood of man,
Will become a reality
In this day, with this faith,
I will go out and,
Carve the tunnel of hope,
Through the mountain of despair
With this faith,
I will go out with you and,
Transform dark yesterdays
Into bright tomorrows
With this faith,
We will be able to achieve
This new day
When all of God's children,
Black men and white men,
Jews and gentiles,
Protestants and Catholics
Will be able to join hands
And sing with the negroes,
In the spiritual of old
Free at last, free at last,
Thank God almighty,
We're free at last.
Oh Daddy please,
take me with you
where you going
Oh Daddy please,
come find the time,
come watch us growing
Oh Daddy please,
don't leave there's so
much that we want to
know before you go
I'm in need of someone
to tie my shoe,
or take hold of my hand
when I become afraid
And whose footsteps
will I follow into,
Daddy please,
don't run away
OUR FATHER
FAR FATHER
WELL LET ME TELL YOU 'BOUT
OUR FATHER
FAR FARTHER AWAY...
Oh Daddy please,
I pray every night
the doors will open
Oh Daddy please,
this house is just
a broken home,
Ah, look at all
the lonely people,
losing faith,
in a world
full of despair,
no one who cares,
wondering where
GOD disappeared
I, see the pain
in everybody's faces
asking why,
the GOD up in the sky,
didn't say goodbye,
please tell me,
GOD didn't die
PLEASE TELL ME
GOD ISN'T DEAD
PLEASE TELL ME
GOD ISN'T DEAD
PLEASE TELL ME
GOD ISN'T
I WANT TO KNOW
IF HE'S
TELL ME
GOD ISN'T
PLEASE TELL ME
GOD ISN'T DEAD
New York City can be so pretty
From a bird's eye view
Because up there, yeah, that's where
I first kissed you
A modern day romance
A perfect performance
Acting like two fools
Saying silly things
Whisper sweet nothings
Like young lovers only do
I was shaking, you were breathtaking
Like the Empire State
My voice was so far, not quite Sinatra
Singing songs so great
The clock struck one
The night still very young
In the city that never sleeps
Then a whirlwind blew
When I first kissed you
Nearly swept me, swept me off my feet
When I first kissed you
That's when I knew, oh
I was in love
Because up there
Yeah, that's where
Sexy Suzi
Losing all her sleep
Feeling ver hungry
She's got her tongue in cheek
Uh, huh
Sweet and sour
A bitter tasting treat
It's the only flavor
I think she likes to
(She likes to eat)
She likes to eat
Suzi wants her all day sucker
Suzi wants her all day what?
Suzi wants her all day sucker
Suzi wants her all day what?
Hard rock candy
Coated cavities
Licking lollipoppers
As long as she says pretty please
You'd better mind your manners
Said, little Red Riding Hood
Got a healthy appetite
So don't be scared big bad wolf
I think she doesn't
(She doesn't bite)
No, she doesn't bite
Suzi wants her all day sucker
Suzi wants her all day what?
Suzi wants her all day sucker
Suzi wants her all day what?
(SOLO)
Try this tongue twister on for size
Suzi sells seashells on the seashore
Suzi sells seashells on the what?
Suzi wants her all day sucker
Suzi wants her all day what?
Suzi wants her all day sucker
Suzi wants her all day what?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
A-good God!
I lie awake with open eyes
My love just died
I'm cold inside
Can't face the thought to be alone
All by myself on my own
Love's come and gone
I look around and see
The hearts that still are broken
I can't believe all of our hearts remain unopened
We can't go go on and on
Wit that same old song
So wipe off the frown
And turn around and face each other
Come on, come on
Let's sing a song
A song for you, a song for me, a song for love
All for one and one for all together
Singing a song for love
You and I are none without the other
Singing a song for love
You let the time pass by
Big boys don't cry
Believe that lie
A broken heart that never mends
Is this the end
Listen my friend
These walls of hate
That separate on from the other
Time to rebuild bridges of love
One to another
Come on, come on
Let's sing a song
A song for you, a song for me, a song for love
All for one and one for all together
Singing a song for love
You and I are none without the other
Singing a song for love
Everbody was born in it
Shure as hell gonna die in it
Some people don't give a shit
Whether or not they're full of it
It's on my mind most of the time
That's when you find we all go blind
Then it will start to get in our hearts
It's gone too far, that's who we are
It's a monster
We all have within us
It's a monster
It's a monster
Turns us into sinners
It's a monster
It started when I played with it
It turned into a habit
And after that once you've been bit
You can't seem to get rid of it
It's on my mind most of the time
That's when you find we all go blind
Then it will start to get in our hearts
It's gone too far, that's who we are
It's a monster
We all have within us
It's a monster
It's a monster
Turns us into sinners
It's a monster
Life's ambition occupies my time
Priorities confuse the mind
Happiness one step behind
This inner peace I've yet to find
Rivers flow into the sea
Yet even the sea is not so full of me
If I'm not blind why can't I see
That a circle can't fit
Where a square should be
There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can't be filled with the things I do
Hole hearted
Hole hearted
This heart of stone is where I hide
These feet of clay kept warm inside
Day by day less satisfied
Not fade away before I die
Rivers flow into the sea
Yet even the sea is not so full of me
If I'm not blind why can't I see
That a circle can't fit
Where a square should be
There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can't be filled with the things I do
There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can't be filled with the things I do
Hole hearted
Hole hearted
Hole hearted
Hole hearted
"Francis!
Francis! Be careful!"
Let's Go
Trying so hard to keep up with the Joneses
Running a rat race and won by our noses
Always put one foot in front of the other
And dance to the beat of the dacadent drummer
Just buy a brand new pair of Fred Astaire shoes
Climbing to the top, never gonna stop
It's the same old song, and one, two, three, and dec-a-dance
(Dance) Dance
(Dance) Dance
(Dancing to the decadence dance) Dance
Everybody decadancing
Dancing to the decadence
Dancing to the decadence dance
It's hard to stop once the music gets started
'Til the soles of your feet harden up like your heart did
Stepping in line with the sign of the timer
Seduced by the tune of the decadent dancer
Woo!
The decadent dancer!
Just buy a brand new pair of Fred Astaire shoes
Climbing to the top, never gonna stop
It's the same old song, and one, two, three, and dec-a-dance
(Dance) Dance

My formal education
Never bothered
With my ABC's
Teacher student relation
Taught me all about
The birds and bees
School boy fantasy
Lose control
Of all my faculties
You know that one thing
That got through to me
Was her body chemistry
Subject to body language
Ain't so bad to read
Between the lines
I scored above average
Oral examination
Is where I shine
School boy fantasy
Lose control
Of all my faculties
Student body graduated
At the highest degree
You know that one thing
That got through to me
Was her body chemistry
Purely scientifically
Studied her anatomy
Teacher's pet, Teacher's pet
God only knows what you
Keep your elbows off the table
Look before you cross
Buckle up your seat belt
Parental discretion advised
Keeping off the grass
Beware of the dog
A restricted area
Police will take notice
Oh, no, don't wanna know
My ass from my elbow
Oh, no don't wanna know
Don't wanna know
Where there's smoke
There's fire
Don't be playin' ball in the street
Where there's smoke
There's fire
What you sow is what you will reap
Slippery when wet
Skating on thin ice
Caution falling rocks
Give a hoot don't pollute
Surgeon General's warning
Don't you drink and drive
Saying no to drugs
Hazardous to your health
Out of reach from children
Fatal if you swallow
Keep away from heat
Pull in case of fire
Rain dance Howthafukowee
If you could only hear
The silent screams
When you wake them up
From their dreams
Nothing is heard
Not even a
Even a
Even a word
Rock a bye baby
On the tree top
When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall
Rock rock rock a bye baby
Rock rock rock bye bye
And if they had
Any chance at all
You still can't hear
Those voices that call
And when the bough breaks
The cradle will
Cradle will
Hanging above the ground
All my limbs are bound
You're on the right hand
With your head down
Tears from eyes that cannot see
He took the blame from me
So shall it be written
So shall it be done
Watching, waiting
Staring at the Son
Not even knowing
Who you are
Three hours have gone by
We start to question why
Darkness falls in finding out
Why you must die
We can no longer see the Son
The three untie into one
Please forgive us Father
Flesh 'N' Blood
A human fascination
Acquired the taste
Right on my face
Naughty
Lost in lust
A hopeless situation
Let the game begin
I'm shirts you're skins
Naughty
These hunger pains
Growing inside me every day
I feel it in my veins
Burning inside me every day
I wanna eat your body
Eat your body
Naughty, Naughty ,Naughty
Talkin' 'bout your body
Flesh, blood
I think I'm in love
Naughty, Naughty,Naughty
Eating up your body
Driving down
A sticky occupation
I need another shot
Of some food for thought
Naughty
These hunger pains
Growing inside me every day
I feel it in my veins
Burning inside me every day
Everybody's got a need
Everybody's got to feed
On everybody else's body
Everybody's got a need
Everybody's got to feed
On everybody
Whoever said that big boys don't cry
You say you never shed a tear
Well, listen that's a lie
We're all defenseless
When it comes to pain
I said boys and girls alike yeah,
We're all the same
It's my party
I'll cry if I want to
Big boys don't cry
As if nothing seems to matter
Big boys don't cry
Then why do I
Big boys don't cry
Because nothing in this world
Ever matters
Big boys don't cry
Hey, I'm not ashamed
To say a tear
Is in my eye
Because another tear
Will take its place
Come down
Hey kid, I'm talkin' to you
What am I supposed to do
You know that you're something special
That's something you already knew
Hey kid, got something to say
But you won't listen anyway
I am only tryin' to help you
But you get further every day
We think your head is getting
Bigger and bigger and bigger
Hey kid, some good advice
To bring your britches down to size
Some modesty would suit you better
So why don't you give it a try
Hey kid ego
With your head above the clouds
Hey kid ego
Come down
Hey kid, you're Mr. IT
Inch by inch a little bit
Stepping on the little people
Like you don't even give a shit
Hey kid, you have it all
Standing proud on top of the world
Don't you know the bigger they come
The harder they must all fall
We think your head is getting
Bigger and bigger and bigger
We think you should be taught
Some manners, manners, manners
Hey kid, some good advice
To bring your britches down to size
Some modesty would suit you better
Not really lookin' for, for nothing special,
Just someplace that I can call my own,
I'm growing tired of, of running wild,
It's time I settled down
There seems to be some lights on,
but ain't nobody home
I think I see some lights on,
But there ain't nobody home
Ain't being choosy, but
Don't want no floozy,
And that's not much to ask
She's a nice place to visit
But I wouldn't want to live her,
Nice place to visit
Hey, is anybody home?
Seeing is believing,
But looks can be deceiving,
What you get ain't always what you see
I like what' s down there,
But no one is upstairs,
I think there's bats in the belfry
I don't know what's come over me,
I'm blinded by the scenery,
Nice place to visit,
I don't know what I'm gonna do
I'm coming back because of you,
Nice place to visit, visit, visit...
This big bad wolf knows
Which way the wind blows,
And which little piggy's house is made of brick,
Must have vacated, or mislocated,
There's just toys, toys in the attic
Chorus (Hey, is anybody home?)
Knock, knock, who's there?
I've got something that you ought to know
Don't even know whether to come or go
Up down head's spinning around
Wind up in the lost and found
Wind me up, Wind me up
Wind me up, Wind me up
Wind me up, Wind me up
Tell me why you make it so hard
All I ask is finish what you start
Wind me up, Wind me up
Wind me up, Wind me up
Wind me up, Wind me up
Wind me up that's all you do
Wind me up and leave me blue
I'd like to see if you could be
Kind enough to me when you
Wind me up
Don't take me places then wanna go home
Sometimes, I think I'm better off alone
Hey girl, you know what you do
All the world's
a masquerade
made up of fools
and philosophers
Were it to rain
on our charade,
all washes away,
except for our true colors
If any people bothered
looking for truth, please,
STOP THE WORLD
from spinning 'round
instead we choose to follow
footsteps of fools, please
STOP THE WORLD
from spinning 'round
If nothing's new under the sun
for me and you
Won't somebody please...
STOP THE WORLD
STOP THE WORLD
I WANNA GET OFF
STOP THE WORLD
STOP THE WORLD
WHERE THERE IS LOVE
If we forget
yesterday,
We're bound to repeat it
tomorrow
It's not too late
to start today,
Better off safe,
than sorry
Do unto those as you would
do to yourselves, please,
STOP THE WORLD
from spinning 'round
We need more feet to walk
in one another's shoes, please
STOP THE WORLD
from spinning 'round
There's nothing new
under the sun
for me and you,
I had a dream,
Last night I was blind
And I couldn't see
Color of any kind
Picture the world, minus a rainbow
When day becomes night, then where will the sun go
Dancing alone, just me and my shadow
Color me blind, so I can see no evil
WHY DO WE DREAM,
IN BLACK AND WHITE?
COLOR ME BLIND
WHY DO WE DREAM
IN BLACK AND WHITE?
COLOR ME BLIND
I had a dream,
I was looking, over the mountain
But I've, I've yet to see the,
The so-called promised land
Picture the world,
Without any color
You couldn't tell,
One face from the other
I don't understand
Why we fight with our brother
Color me blind
Just to love one another
Color me, color you,
Tell me, Jesus,
are you angry?
One more sheep has,
just gone astray
A hardening of hearts,
turning to stone
Wandering off,
so far from home
So many children,
losing time
Walk in darkness,
looking for a sign
Chasing their rainbows,
the future looks so bright
Slowly we're losing,
Sight of the light
WHO CARES?
WHO CARES?
WHO CARES?
TELL ME WHO CARES?
WHO CARES?
All alone,
out in the cold
Can't look back,
am I growing old
I chose a path,
is this my fate
Am I finding out,
the truth too late
Here I am,
a naked man
Nothing to hide
with empty hands
Remember me,
I am the one
Who lost his way,
your Prodigal Son
WHO CARES?
WHO CARES?
WHO CARES?
TELL ME WHO CARES?
WHO CARES?
AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
WILL I ALWAYS STAY THE SAME
SAY ONE THING
THEN I DO THE OTHER
SAME OLD SONG
GOES ON FOREVER
RISE, RISE 'N SHINE
A NEW DAY IS COMING
No one ever sees you cry
You just keep it all inside
In a warm place, where you can hide
When will it rain
When will it rain
I saw you laugh the other day
But all too fast it went away
Now your sky's cloudy 'n' gray
Falling mainly on the plain
When will it rain
When will it rain
No water fallls
Down your window pane
And when I look into your eyes
That window to your soul can't lie
There's water where the well went dry
So how long can there be a drought
When your dam's filled with doubt
No place to build your house
Let your cup runneth over and out
I said for crying out loud
When will it rain
When will it rain
No water fallls
Down your window pane
When will it rain
When will it rain
A tear for fear is calling out your name
sun going up,
making its rounds
it keeps on moving,
painting the town
before you know it,
she's sinking low
so tell me something . . .
something i don't already know
i don't know?
toward the south,
then turning north
whirlwind spinning,
on a circular course
the answer my friend,
returns to blow
so tell me something . . .
something i don't already know
i don't know?
tell me something
i don't know?
as for the wise men who pursue
their knowledge
same as the fool, free falling
prey to folly
can only one fate befall
them both
so tell me something . . .
if every song been sung,
under the sun
what's left for me then,
eat drink and have fun
it must go on, as for the show
Your mamma told you,
Told you to stay away
Pappa done scold you girl,
Don't hear a word he say
He said,
Over my body
No star-crossed lover lay
You can run, I can hide
And we'll meet each other
On the other side
Don't you worry pretty baby
They'll never take us alive
Tell me you're leaving it,
Leaving it all behind
Better believe in me,
Never treat you unkind
(A little closer girl)
Come take my hand child
I'll love you
For a million miles
You can run, I can hide
And we'll meet each other
On the other side
Don't you worry pretty baby
They'll never take us alive
Save our souls, save our souls
Save our souls, save our souls
You better run, I gotta hide
And we'll meet each other
On the other side
Don't you worry pretty baby
They'll never take us alive
You better run, and I can hide
And we'll meet each other
On the other side
Don't you worry pretty baby
They'll never take us
Don't you worry pretty mamma
They'll never break us
Don't you worry pretty baby
Star- you're a star
Yeah be careful what you're wishing for
All your dreams coming true
Star yes you are
You're now bigger than Venus and Mars
You can run but you can't hide
So you're gonna make it
Chance you're gonna take it
Tinseltown is calling your name
Penny in your pocket
Walking like a prophet
Fortune teller claiming your fame
Arriving in style
On the red carpet mile
To the left to the right
Step aside
As you wave to the crowd
A voice cries out loud
Look at you
You're the new overnight sensation
Star- you're a star
Yeah be careful what you're wishing for
All your dreams coming true
Star yes you are
You're now bigger than Venus and Mars
You can run but you can't hide
Love and hate related
Privacy invaded
A paparazzi public domain
Dirty little secret
Guess she couldn't keep it
At least you made it on the front page
A tabloid be told
All that glitters ain't gold
Not a muse, Drug abuse suicide
As you're left all alone
After selling your soul
In the aisle, smile, ready for your close up
Star - you're a star
Yeah be careful what you're wishing for
All your dreams coming true
Star yes you are
You're now bigger than Venus and Mars
You can run but you can't hide
Stars in your eyes
Got your piece of the pie in the sky
Don't look down as you hang on
Star - you're a star
Yeah be careful what you're wishing for
All your dreams coming true
Star yes you are
You're now bigger than Venus and Mars
You can run but you can't hide
Stars in your eyes
Got your piece of the pie in the sky
Don't look down as you're hanging on
Hanging on for your life
For you're better off dead then alive
One day
we'll find the time
to spend, together
until then, My Love
IF I HAD ONE WISH
IT WOULDN'T BE HARD TO CHOOSE
SEVEN SUNDAYS IN A ROW
CAUSE THAT'S THE DAY
THAT I SPEND WITH YOU
Someday soon,
you and I
will hold each other
once again, My Love
IF I HAD ONE WISH
IT WOULDN'T BE HARD TO CHOOSE
SEVEN SUNDAYS IN A ROW
SEVEN SUNDAYS IN A ROW
SEVEN SUNDAYS IN A ROW
CAUSE THAT'S THE DAY
THAT I SPEND WITH YOU
If I had one wish
Dawn wakes the silence,
of a fainted lullaby
Day breaks the eyelid,
from a song sung in my eye
Night rests in peace,
as the sun mourns the sky
All's accounted for sheep,
over a horizon's I
RISE, RISE 'N SHINE
A NEW DAY IS COMING
RISE, RISE IN TIME
FOR EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN
And when you see,
a south wind blow
Forecasting, you will know,
a hot day, will be on the way
(Foolish one)
You analyze,
the earth and the sky
I ask you why,
you can't analyze the signs,
of the present time
I had a dream,
not unlike the one from old
Of a man king,
whose head was made of gold
Stand castles of sand
weather the sundials rise 'n fall
Chasing wind through your hands,
'til water runs dry the well
DREAM, DANIEL, DREAM
FOR WHAT'S YET TO COME
SEE, DANIEL, SEE
FOR EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN
And in the West,
a cloud appears
For shadows of
a coming shower near,
Oh, so near
(Hypocrites)
You analyze,
the earth and the sky
I ask you why,
you can't analyze the signs,
of the present time
Vanity,
Yes, all is vanity
Vanity,
Yes, all's futility
For one that dies,
another's born
Where laughter's heard,
comforters mourn
There's a time for
everything
A song for love,
even abhor
An olive branch,
or winter's war
There's a time for
Sex!
Sex on the brain pumped in my veins
Flowing from my head to my feet
Sex on TV rotation heavy
You and I are what we eat
Sex, when I'm all alone
It calls me on the phone
Can't stop this ringing in my ear
Sex in excess, filling all our senses
Keep saying there's nothing to fear
Can't you read the writing on the wall?
Can't you see the rising and the fall?
Oh, can't you see it?
All I see is pornograffitti
All I hear pornograffitti
See now, hear now
All I speak is pornograffitti
All I fear pornograffitti
Speak no evil
Sex in 3D, no evil eyes see
Too much of it and you'll go blind
Sex education, misinformation
Kiss me where the sun don't shine
Sex it surrounds me, pornograffiti
It's all so constitutional
Sex is literate, read all about it
But censor where you all can go
Can't you read the writing on the wall?
Can't you see the rising and the fall? Oh
All I see is pornograffitti
All I hear pornograffitti
See now, hear now
All I speak is pornograffitti
All I fear pornograffitti
Speak no evil
All I see is pornograffitti
All I hear pornograffitti
See now, hear now
All I speak is pornograffitti
All I fear pornograffitti
Speak no evil [Incomprehensible]
Say, say, say, say
Can't you read the writing on the wall?
All I see is pornograffitti
All I hear pornograffitti
See now, hear now
All I speak is pornograffitti
All I fear pornograffitti
Speak no evil
Can't you read the writing on the wall?
Can't you see the rising and the fall? Oh
All I see is pornograffitti
All I hear pornograffitti
See now, hear now
All I speak is pornograffitti
All I fear pornograffitti
Speak no evil
Sex sells, sex sells, sex sells
Sex sells, sex sells, sex sells

Saying "I love you"
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew how easy
It would be to show me how you feel
More than words
Is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'Cause I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying "I love you"
More than words
Now but I've tried to talk to you
And make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands
And touch me
Hold me close, don't ever let me go
More than words
Is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
'Cause I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
When you couldn't make things new
Just by saying "I love you"
More than words
More than words
More than words
More than words
Look at Monica walking in her sleep
Look at Monica running through the fields
In her dream, so serene
Monica, Monica
Hush, don't you say a word
Did you see the smile she made today?
Look at Monica
Look at Monica
Morning's coming ever so fast
Shadow's reality's cast
More like a dream that just won't last
Look at Monica walking in her sleep
Look at Monica running through the fields
In her dream, so serene
Monica, Monica
Please keep quiet, let her sleep
(instrumental)
It's not fair what they put me through
Please tell me what am I supposed to do
Why do I get myself in this situation
There must be some logical
Answers why I rob the cradle
Can this be love or just infatuation
Little girl come out and play
I got some candy for my baby
It's your sweet sixteenth birthday celebration
Thank heaven for Little girls who
grow up in a most peculiar way
You might think she's too young for me
(Little Girls)
You know I always say you're as young as you feel
(As you feel)
Yeah, I might be crazy 'cause I like them so young
(Little Girls)
But with little girls the best is yet to come come
(Yet to come)
Some they say I'm too old for her
Old enough to be her father
Incestual blood is thicker than water
Do what's right not morally wrong
Flesh and blood can only be so strong
as for this song
i'll set the mood
there's nothing wrong
prefer solitude
alone to think
of what i don't know
the deeper i sink
the further i'll go
nothing to fear
no need to hide
i'm already there
came in from outside
safe in my nest
home sweet home
no invited guests
i want to be alone
leave me alone
leave me alone
i wish you would
leave me alone
leave me alone
i just want to be alone
it's better this way
no one will get hurt
if you stay away
i won't lose my shirt
if i have become
too defensive
i'm not the one
you have to live with
i want to be, i want to be
i want to be, alone
don't feel sorry
it's not your concern
only the lonely
are the ones who get burned
safe in my nest
home sweet home
no invited guests
(instrumental)
Prentending to act so serene
On your so called submissive knees
A shopping list of begging pleas
Adds to your complacencies
As soon as the sun don't shine your way
And you're saving it all up that rainy day
It's a matter of time before you get down 'n' pray
Fair weather faith - protect me from the storm
Fair weather faith - gonna right all my wrongs
Fair weather faith - you know i'm doing alright
Fair weather faith - out of mind, out of sight
Well I wonder if the man upstairs
Will bother to lend an ear
If you took the time to share
Another one of your puppet prayers
-you read the papers today?-
I read the news today oh boy,
About a tragic comedy
Newspaper hinted suicide,
The letterhead read Dear Johnny
A tainted truth was all it said,
Sleep tight now that you've made your bed
An arrow that once pierced your heart
Points to the apple on your head
Three sides to every story
Yours, mine
And, Monday morning's
CUPID'S DEAD, HEADLINES READ,
CUPID'S DEAD
CUPID'S DEAD, HEADLINES READ,
CUPID'S DEAD
Oh, Romeo, Oh, Romeo
Where did our love go, Romeo?
If you read between the headlines,
You wouldn't be the last to know
No mystery yet to unfold,
A paperboy left in the cold
A love was said to never die,
Withered away and just got old
"Our top story tonight,
is a crime of passion
The victim, an unidentified man,
is found in bed, wearing only a diaper,
holding a bow an arrow in one hand,
and clutching a letter in the other.
The letter simply read ...
CUPID'S DEAD."
Extra, extra, extra,
read all about it
CUPID'S DEAD,
Cupid is dead, deceased,
I got peace of mind
Still it's hard to forget,
what it leaves behind
A lot of love lost,
your feelings are wasted,
tasted the sweetness,
but now you're faced with,
the thought, of being alone
Nor more companionship,
you can handle it,
just abandon it,
leave it behind,
and look for the brighter day
Give it some time,
cause it won't come right away
You gotta be standing strong,
hold on to your dignity
Don't sit around,
saying look what ya did to me
It's time to move on,
you gotta continue
to look for a love,
of a life that's within you
Cupid is dead now,
it's time to rely on,
yourself to cope
You got no shoulder to cry on
Christmas always goes too fast
It's up to us make it last
And all I want for Christmas is love
Come that morning and I see you smile
It only lasts a little while
How come we seem to push it all side?
Don't you know that it's
Christmas time again, I'm happy for you
You know it comes and goes
So let's pretend that it'll last all year
Soon, it seems to disappear
It brings us towards but leaves the tear
The day is down but spirit should remain
It's times like these we need a change
I care enough to rearrange
I'll make sure it'll last all year
Don't you know that it's
Christmas time again, I'm happy for you
You know it comes and goes
So let's pretend that it'll last all year
Christmas time again, I'm happy for you
You know it comes and goes
So let's pretend that it'll last all year, oh
Gotta give a little more
Remember what we're thanking for
All my love, my kind
Let's pretend just this time
Let's keep the flow this times
That our Christmas will last all year
Don't you know that it's
Christmas time again, I'm happy for you
You know it comes and goes
So let's pretend that it'll last all year
Christmas time again, I'm happy for you
You know it comes and goes
So let's pretend that it'll last all year
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
I heard your mother died
Just a few days ago
And tears fill your eyes with grief and sorrow
Cause you to question why because you don't know
If there comes a time when we all, when we all must go
Better off dead, if you're going to believe
Better off dead, in some painful (painful) memories
Better off dead, for truly you'll be free
Then to get down on your knees
Can you continue to go on and ignore?
A most certain fate you have grown, grown to abhor
If what you believe is true
And you have no remorse
No matter what you do, no matter what you do,
Oh, you'll be on, you'll be on the same course
Can someone tell me why I'm not better off dead?
I no longer deny these thoughts filling my head
I'm left to decide for this path I've been led
If there's more to life than just death
I'm tired of being me,
and I don't like what I see,
I'm not who I appear to be
So I start off every day,
down on my knees I will pray,
for a change in any way
But as the day goes by,
I live through another lie,
if it's any wonder why
AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
WILL I ALWAYS STAY THE SAME
IF I SAY ONE THING,
THEN I DO THE OTHER
IT'S THE SAME OLD SONG,
THAT GOES ON FOREVER
AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
I'M THE ONLY ONE TO BLAME
WHEN I THINK I'M RIGHT,
I WIND UP WRONG
IT'S A FUTILE FIGHT,
GONE ON TOO LONG
Please tell me if it's true,
am I too old to start anew,
cause that's what I want to do
But time and time again,
when I think I can,
I fall short in the end
So why do I even try,
Will it matter when I die,
Can anyone hear my cry?
AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
TAKE IT DAY BY DAY
MY WILL IS WEAK
AND MY FLESH TOO STRONG
THIS PEACE I SEEK
Help! I need somebody,
Help! not just anybody,
Help! you know I need someone, help.
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind I've opened up the doors.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being around.
Help me get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But ev'ry now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being around.
Help me get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind I've opened up the doors.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
I remember it well, I was just about three
My dad said, "Son, what do you want to be?"
It didn't ring no bell, but I said
"Daddy, I'm a bit too young, what do you want from me?"
I'm much older now, I'm almost a man
I can do anything, you bet I can
Raise a family, now wouldn't that be grand
So sorry, but I got bigger plans
You can be anything in the world today
Like a preacher, a teacher, a baseball player
Those kind of things I just don't care
I want to represent the USA
(The American Dream)
Oh, as far as the eye oh say can you see
(I want to be)
I want to be the leader of the country
When I'm President
Things will be different
We'll start a new government
When I'm President
When I'm President
You can be in my cabinet
I'll be your heaven sent
President
First things first, we're gonna change the rules
Better listen up, all you boys and girls
Your prez says there'll be no after school
So vote for me, now wouldn't that be cool
(Yeah), yeah
(Yeah), yeah
Now I know there's trouble in the Middle East
I'll spend all the money when I stop the Arms Race
On my brothers in the desert, gonna have themselves a feast
When that's done, then we'll start on world peace
(So go ask Alice)
Oh, you know what he said
(What did he say?)
"Remember, I wanna be elected"
When I'm president
Things will be different
We'll start a new government
When I'm president
When I'm president
You can be in my cabinet
I'll be your heaven sent president... huh!

Say, you can be in my cabinet
I'll be your heaven sent president... oh, yeah!
Everbody was born in it
Sure as hell gonna die in it
Some people don't give a shit
Whether or not they're full of it
It's on my mind
most of the time
That's when you find
we all go blind
Then it will start
to get in our hearts
It's gone too far
that's who we are
It's a monster (We all have within us)
It's a monster (It's a monster) It's a monster
It's a monster (Turns us into sinners)
It's a monster (It's a monster)
It started when I played with it
It turned into a habit
And after that, once you've been bit
Ah, you can't seem to get rid of it
It's on my mind (It's on my mind)
Most of the time (Most of the time)
That's when I find (That's when I find)

Tell me there's no need to be afraid
They're only shadows cast, past this place
Where voices carry at the speed of sound
If I should cry before they lay me down
Sorry for the words, words I left unsaid
Sorry being one of the words I did forget
All the time we spent, wasted in the end
Every precious moment taken for granted
There in the corner of my mind
Lies the weight of my regret
Between the shadow and the light
Ghost you're in my head
Shelter from the storm when I sleep
There's comfort in the morn, a siren sings
If only for a moment, I can breathe
The thought of you comes crashing through on me
Sorry for the words, words I left unsaid
Sorry being one of the words I did forget
All the time we spent, wasted in the end
Every precious moment taken for granted
There in the corner of my mind
Lies the weight of my regret
Between the shadow and the light
Ghost you're in my head
Ghost you're in my head
Tell me there's no need to be afraid
They're only shadows cast past has played
Where voices carry at the speed of sound
If I should die before I lay me down
I'm sorry for the way, the way I treated you
A little bit too late, but if you only knew
I'd take away the pain, pain I put you through
I'd do it all again walking in your shoes
There in the corner of my mind
Lies the weight of my regret
Between the shadow and the light
Ghost you're in my head
I'm tired of being me
And I don't like what I see
(I'm not who I appear to be)
So I start off every day
Down on my knees I will pray
(for a change in any way)
But as the day goes by
I live through another lie
if it's any wonder why!
Am I ever gonna change?
If I say one thing then I do the other
It's the same old song that goes on forever
Am I ever gonna change?
Will I always stay the same?
If I say one thing then I do the other
It's the same old song that goes on forever
Am I ever gonna change?
I'm the only one to blame
When I think I'm right, I wind up wrong
It's a futile fight that's gone on too long
Please tell me if it's true
Am I too old to start anew?
(cause that's what I want to do)
But time and time again
Ahen I think I can
(I fall short in the end)
So why do I even try
Will it matter when I die
Can anyone hear my cry?
Am I ever Gonna change?
Will I always stay the same?
If I say one thing then I do the other
It's the same old song that goes on forever
Am I ever gonna change?
I'm the only one to blame
When I think I'm right, I wind up wrong
It's a futile fight that's gone on too long
(SOLO)
Am I ever gonna change?
Will I always stay the same
If I say one thing then I do the other
It's the same old song that goes on forever
Am I ever gonna change?
I'm the only one to blame
When I think I'm right I wind up wrong
It's a fucking fight that's gone on too long
Am I ever gonna change?
Take it day by day
My will is weak and my flesh too strong
I lie awake with open eyes
My love just died
I'm cold inside
Can't face the thought to be alone
All by myself on my own
Love's come and gone
I look around and see
The hearts that still are broken
I can't believe all of our hearts remain unopened
They go on and on, with that same old song
So wipe off the frown
And turn around and face each other
Come on, come on
Let's sing a song
A song for you
a song for me
a song for love
All for one and one for all together
Singing a song for love
You and I are none without the other
Singing a song for love
You let the time pass by
Big boys don't cry
Believe that lie
Why do I?
A broken heart that never mends
Is this the end
Listen my friend
These walls of hate
That separate on from the other
Time to rebuild bridges of love
One to another
Come on, come on
Let's sing a song
A song for you
a song for me
a song for love
All for one and one for all together
Singing a song for love
You and I are none without the other

Mother Goose
Never should have ever let that Jack get loose

Keeps messing all the things he gets his hands into
Now look what you've done
Stuck in your thumb, pulled out a plum
Mama says boys will be boys

That's Little Jack Horny
I said, Mama says boys will be boys
(Mama says, mama says)

Went up and down and up and fooled around the hill

How late the rabbit will arrive in wonderland

Don't just sit there and stare at me
Don't just sit there and watch me bleed
I'm losing you and you, you're losing me
I'm tired of what we are
I'm tired of all the pain
I'm losing you and you, you're losing me
Face lies flat

Mutha, Don't wanna go to school today
I think I'd rather go outside and play, yeah
They keep calling, asking me
If I'll come in
Is that a sin
If being lazy is the only reason
It's getting late
So, Mutha don't you hesitate
To pack my lunch
And I'll be on my way to school
Mutha, Don't wanna go to school today
I think I'd rather go outside and play, yeah
Mutha, Don't wanna go to school today
I think I'd rather go outside and play, yeah
The teacher's always looking down
With her disappointed frown
Asking me to go sleep somewhere else
My levelheaded Mutha
Always said to one another
That the truth will always hurt
If you keep waiting
I said waiting
Mutha, don't wanna go to school today
I think I'd rather go outside and play, yeah
Mutha, don't wanna go to school today
I think I'd rather go outside and play, yeah
A-yeah, yeah!
(SOLO)
Mutha, don't wanna go to school today
I think I'd rather go outside and play
Come on!
A group of Kids sing the next two lines:
Mutha, don't wanna go to school today
I think I'd rather go outside and play
The band singing:
Mutha, don't wanna go to school today
I think I'd rather go outside and play
I think I'd rather go outside and play
Mutha, don't wanna go to school today
I think I'd rather, I think I'd rather
I think I'd rather go outside and play
I think I'd rather go outside and play

I think I'd rather go outside and play
Mutha, don't wanna go to school today
I think I'd rather go outside and play
naah
na, na, na, na, na
na, na, na, na, na
You might say, hey, I lost my sense of humor
I'm quite surprised I didn't lose it sooner
Why waste my breath on anything less, then talk so trivial
As a man who ran out of material
Why did the chicken go across the road?
To get to the other side
I'm still waiting for the punchline
Whoever said the grass always grows
Greener on the other lied
I'm still waiting for the punchline
The good ol' days I was known to wear a smile
Like all good things, they've gone out of style
I will admit, usually a quick wit I found bemusing
What used to be, no longer are amusing
Why did the chicken go across the road?
To get to the other side
I'm still waiting for the punchline
Whoever said the grass always grows
Greener on the other, lied
I'm still waiting for the punch
Waiting for the punch, waiting for the punch
(SOLO)
It's nothing that you said, no nothing that you did
Must have been a bad joke that's gone over my head
What, me worry?
Another tragedy
The latter plus time equals comedy
Why can't I get to the other side?
I'm still waiting for the punchline
Whoever said the grass always grows
Greener on the other, lied
I'm still waiting for the punchline
Waiting
Punchline
Punchline
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh
As stories go, this one's been told
Another heart broken, left out in the cold
With one variation, the difference this time, this one is mine,
Since you've been gone you've stolen my heart
As for the rest of me
I've fallen apart in my desperation
My only prayer: handle with care
Cos I don't know what to do
Wasting my time, wandering through
Wondering why what's it all worth
My last hour on earth
My last hour
So in the end you were the one
Something so right could never be wrong
Without hesitation
I'll tell you the truth: I'm still waiting for you
Cos I don't know what to do
Wasting my time, wandering through
Wondering why what's it all worth
My last hour on earth
My last hour
Cos I don't know what to do
Wasting my time, wandering through
Wondering why what's it all worth
It's worth everything
Yeah my everything is you
It's worth everything
Yeah my everything is you
It's worth everything

I run to extreme pain
Excessive pain
I´m tired
When will it be over?
I´m tired
Extreme - und trotzdem lieb' ich Dich
Geliebt - Wir lebten jeden Tag aus
Geweint - Wir stritten uns auf Teufel komm raus
Versöhnt - Wir lagen uns in den Armen
Hmmmmm
Extreme - Geh´n bei uns ein und aus
Geschworen - Auf Ewigkeit ich und Du
Erfroren - Du provozierst und ich schau zu
Gehasst - Ich war vor Eifersucht rasend
Hmmmmm
Extreme - Was hab ich Dich verflucht
Und in der Stille der Nacht
Zerreißt der Schmerz in mir fast meine Seele
Ich will Vergeltung, lieg' wach
Und meine Wut schnürt wie ein Strick meine Kehle
Doch da sind auch noch Gefühle
Die mich durchfahren wie Züge
Hin und her
Extreme - Und trotzdem lieb' ich Dich
Verdammt - Ich sage ja, Du sagst nein
Enttäuscht - Wenn Du mir sagst: Geh allein
Verloren - Verletzte Eitelkeiten Du und ich
Extreme - Und trotzdem lieb' ich Dich
Und in der Stille der Nacht
Laß' ich die Zeit mit Dir Revue passieren
Auch ich hab viel falsch gemacht
Und werde Dich so wie Du bist akzeptieren
Du bist und bleibst meine Seele
Mit der ich sterbe und lebe
Hmmmmm
Slice like a knife, your middle name's Danger
Hunting tonight, you kill the park ranger
Saving the life of any old stranger
Your are large as a planet, but
Locked to ground with attitude for days
Rock to the sound of any song you play
Shocking the crowd, smile on your face
I just can't understand it, no
Don't you think you are a little extreme?
Don't you think you are a little extreme?
Maybe, but then again this life is short
You are exactly what I'm looking for
You are the key that opens up the door
I'll take anything from you
I'd long to love you
You are exactly what I've waiting for
Waiting has only made me love you more
Tell me what you're gonna do
I'm crazy into you
White picket fence, the typical picture
Think you should know that's not what I'm into
I'm not an ordinary girl, got your scent and
I'm gonna follow it
All of the girls think I'm a bit psycho
Maybe I am but that's the way I roll
And when I gotcha watch the whole world know
I am truly original
Don't you think you are a little extreme?
Don't you think you are a little extreme?
Maybe, but then again this life is short
You are exactly what I'm looking for
You are the key that opens up the door
I'll take anything from you
I'd long to love you
You are exactly what I've waiting for
Waiting has only made me love you more
Tell me what you're gonna do
I'm crazy into you
Don't you think you are a little extreme?
Don't you think you are a little extreme?
Don't you think you are a little extreme?
Don't cha, don't cha, oh
I long to love you, I long to love you
I'm not enough
I long to love you, I long to lo-oh
I'm not enough
I long to love you, I long to love oh-oh
Tell me whatcha gonna do
I'm crazy baby into you
I long to love you, I long to love you
I'm not enough
I long to love you, I long to lo-oh
I'm not enough
I long to love you, I long to love oh-oh
Tell me whatcha gonna do
I'm crazy baby into you
You are exactly what I'm looking for
You are the key that opens up the door
You are exactly what I've waited for
Waiting has only made me love you
You are exactly what I'm looking for
You are the key that opens up the door
I'll take anything from you
I'd long to love you
You are exactly what I've waiting for
Waiting has only made me love you more
Tell me what you're gonna do
I'm crazy into you
Don't you think you are a little extreme?
Don't you think you are a little extreme?
Don't you think you are a little extreme?
Uh, yeah
Uh-huh, yeah
ED O.G. uh uh
D Quest uh uh
Boston's Finest
Y'all check this out
[Verse One]
You challenge me I'll challenge you, off balance fool
I'm a show you rap niggas what real talent do
Never shook up, doing with skills not book up
Four-course-meal is what I cook up
Put your notebook up
Niggas swear they're down cuz' they look up
Rip them rhymes up, hook them hooks up
You need a mic check I'm a push them rooks' up
Your crooks suck, I make a deal off of blood money
Make an album off the drug money
Take the label money and launder it under the table money
And open businesses
It don't matter who's the first or who's the first one that finishes
I'm out of nowhere just like Kurt Warner
Did it to the head without a nigga in my corner
The solo performer, who tell the "Truth" like Sojourner
"EDO" keep it hot like a bullet from a burner
[Chorus: Deric Quest]
Whatever you got we got two of it
{You bring yours I'll bring mine}
Straight up sucka' without a crew with him
{You'll get yours in due time}
If you got skills learn what to do with them
{You bring yours I'll bring mine}
What goes around comes back in town
{You'll get yours in due time}
[Verse Two]
Do I really have desire to flow
Or desire for dough
By any means play the spolight or behind the scenes
Fuck rap sell???? and get chased by crack fiends
But remain positive and appeal to black queens
Left and right not too many scenes for inbetweens
We kept it divided I remain undecided
And put it on auto-pilot, lay back and cruise
Till I get enough blues and bad news to blow my fuse
Walk a week in my shoes
Concentrate like the camp on the Jews
We drop jewls, while others blow budgets on bars and booze
We already lost nigga so it's hard for my to lose
And choose without being confused
A lot of funny shit happens but I'm hard to amuse
I was knocking hard in the beginning
Learning to lose is the key to winning
A lot of you all take drastic measures with plastic treasures
How we going to put it down without the cash together
Make it last forever and realize you all been blessed
To hear ED O.G. and Deric Quest on the quest
[Chorus: Deric Quest]
Whatever you got we got two of it
{You bring yours I'll bring mine}
Straight up sucka' without a crew with him
{You'll get yours in due time}
If you got skills learn what to do with them
{You bring yours I'll bring mine}
What goes around comes back in town
{You'll get yours in due time}
[Verse Three]
Yo, I've been in altered states all throughout the states
Blew out the gates, you want wine we got to squash them grapes
Over seas it ain't about the states
I make a hot album, you get a verse on other nigga's tapes
Your first mistake's your worst mistake
Trying to eat and survive off of other nigga's plates
If I'm involved then there must be dialogue
I spits fire dog, to the wire on a level that's higher
Money will turn a saint into a lier
If you ain't got game, you'z a baller in the wind
Niggas rather have a dime up front than a dollar in the end
Silence when you lose but you holla when you win
Big star, close but no cigar
You get smashed on stage like a heavy metal guitar
Whoever you are, or what you sold niggas
You old niggas I don't care what you told niggas
Or who you gased up, you ain't no damn winner
ED O.G.'s the lead singer and you just a band member
[Just a band member]
Yo...you just a band member
[Just a band member]
Yeah
[Chorus: Deric Quest]
Whatever you got we got two of it
{You bring yours I'll bring mine}
Straight up sucka' without a crew with him
{You'll get yours in due time}
If you got skills learn what to do with them
{You bring yours I'll bring mine}
What goes around comes back in town
