Verse 1:
You're the one who gives me shelter...
And you're the light that leads me home
You're the love that gave forever...
Lord you're all that I know
Chorus:
And all that I am... unto you I surrender...
Lord there is none like you
And I know that I stand... in the arms of forever...
Lord there is none like you
There is none like you
Verse 2:
With the world upon your shoulders...
Lord you gave your life away
If the world I know was over...
I know I'd have life in the price You paid
Bridge:
And I will stand...and I will worship You forever... for all You are
Kill'em All
[Ja Rule]: [Verse 1]
It must be the way that I spit shit
That make you say damn this nigga ridiculous
The way I hit 'em and move nigga I can't lose
Inconspicuous incognito niggas ain't ready
For whoever who has the flow nigga know I spit deadly
Fear me to the day I'm dead on the street with holes in me
The ghettos got love for me cuz ima lay for 'em
If I have to gradually down or after
The only fib be love and disaster
Tears before laughter but who gonna cry
My style be so touchin' nigga wipe yo eye!
Get used to obvious lies and dead wise guys
and any bitch niggaz feel they fuckin wit my's
C'mon let's get it on, to the break in the dawn,
before long if you wrong you be dead and gone
And now i'm the bomb to clarify my name in vain
What you thought motherfuckers I was playin Baby I hit 'em all
[Chorus: Jay-Z, Ja Rule]
Lord I won't be denied... I'ma Hit 'em Hit 'em

Respect mine till the date of my demise...

[Ja Rule]: [Verse 2]

Don't talk about it just be about it that it
Went all odds against niggaz gettin' rich figure

[Chorus]
Baby I come in style comin' fresh out of Queens (Brooklyn)
I recognize how my killa cliques gettin' down
Everyday is while takin' yours into process niggaz is stress
Leavin' peep holes in yo chest god bless the next that get laid to rest
Frustration and stress make me question death
I wanna shoot all niggaz I feel should be shot on the spot
Let 'em rot with lead in their knot
Oh shit you bitch ass niggaz be lit
Smoke weed it give you the heart to proceed
Whatcha game plan you da man
Go for your guns feel no remorse

Now settle down get your shit tight

And everything is aight
But if you slip son that ass is gone top dogg motherfuckers recognize
Baby I'm Hit 'em all
[Chorus]
Toi qu'on appelle l'enfant
d'un monde en déroute
Il te faudra apprendre
à ignorer leurs doutes
Leurs manque de confiance,
regarder droit devant
Leur prouver que tout
n'est qu'une question de temps
À tous les nostalgiques des paradis perdus
À tous les de mon temps ,
c'était vraiment mieux avant
Ne les écoute pas...
Toucher tes rêves personne ne t'en empêchera
Alléluia
Voguer sur tes galères comme bon
te semblera Alléluia
Dans un éclat de rire,
ta vie comme un alléluia
Alléluia Alléluia Alléluia
Ton histoire au fond n'appartient qu'à toi
Elle fera partie de ces rêves
qu'on ne vit qu'une fois
Ton nom bien gravé dans
la mémoire des gens
Qui t'offraient leurs doutes immenses
Pour seul encouragement
À tous les nostalgiques des paradis perdus
À tous les de mon temps ,
c'était vraiment mieux avant
refrain
You're the one who give shelter
And you're the light that leads me home
You're the love that gave forever...
Lord you're all that I know
And all that I am...unto you I surrender....
Lord there is none like you
And I know that I stand....in the arms of forever...
Lord there is none like you
There is none like you
With the world upon your shoulders....
Lord you gave your life away
If the world I know was over....
I know I'd have life in the price you paid
And I will stand....and I will worship you forever...
For all you are
And I will stand.... and all to you I will surrender...
She's a fat girl
You could never love that girl
You and all your skinny friends
makin' jokes at her expense
Cracks about her backside, its
resemblance to an elephant's
Does it feel good to tear her down?
Take her, make her less than human
She's heard every word and
She can't help the skin she's in
He's a black boy
You wouldn't want to be that boy
He's a jive talkin', ghetto dwellin',
streetcorner crack sellin'
Welfare cheatin', pickaninny eatin' watermelon
Does it feel good to tear him down?
Take him, make him less than human
He's heard every word and
He can't help the skin he's in
We are the ugly, the weak and the wrong
Trapped in your world where you won't let us belong
When you cut me with your eyes
You know I die a million times
I'm still alive
You're lovely
But deep inside I know you're ugly
Though your face displays the
promise of a Venus or Adonis
Still your fragile bleeding ego takes
its pain out on the rest of us
And it feels good to tear you down
Sue me, I'm only human
That only makes it worse, 'cause
pack up all your things, i'll help, you'll leave today we said we'd do it, and today is the day don't care how we tried, it's gone a thousand times we'll make it through this, there's no other way if i'm the first and i'm the only, promess me i'll never be lonely but only for as long as we believe and we broke it all and now there's nothing left we placed all our faith in sex of my little world of make believe messed up everything, all set to wash away but maybe i'm not ready to grow up today and now i'm through living as a criminal no time for sentiment, just time to pay the rent but only for as long as we believe we placed all our faith in sex if i'm the first and i'm the only, promess me i'll never be lonely and we broke it all and now there's nothing left of my little world of make believe i'm not ready to be thirty-two and can't i just stay a while inside with you? far from the compromise and shifty eyes and dirt i'm not ready to be thirty-two but i can't stay forever young with you i can't live my life like i'm in sixth grade slam the door in my mixed up ways here's all your pictures and here's most of mine in my little world of make believe guess trhat's everything, i'll watch you drive away you watched me grind away and now i watch you fade away but loved you more than this, i lived for your sweet kiss we placed all our faith in sex and we broke it all and now there's nothing left of my little world of make believe my little world of make believe let me come back to my world of make believe (my little world of make believe) my little world of make believe let me come back to my world of make believe (never go back to my world of make believe) (my little world of make believe) my little world of make believe... (never go back...)

you can keep everything that i gave to you. i dont want it anymore. and if you want everything that you gave to me you can back up the truck and fill it up with the broken pieces of my life. you hurt me all you could then you thought that i should come crawling back on bended knees. just because your bodys fine you think ive lost my mind. youd better think again if you expect me to put my heart in hiding everytime you walk out on me. you better keep it. keep it. so you remember. remember. the love we had. a love so sad. you can keep everything that i gave to you. i dont want it anymore. and if you want everything that you gave to me you can back up the truck and fill it up with the broken pieces of my life. you hurt me all you could then you thought that i should come crawling back on bended knees. just because your bodys fine you think ive lost my mind. youd better think again if you expect me to put my heart in hiding everytime you walk out on me. you better keep it. keep it. so you remember. remember. the love we had. a love so sad.
fathers a lonely man in a crowded room. he keeps to himself and he never lets anyone know. its a part of his heritage-his father was that way too. and mother cant understand why he died so soon. but he's still alive-he's still got his mind-and thats all he needs-to get by. dont wonder why. youre gonna be jsut like them. a boy i knew was too low to tie his own shoes. we couldnt tell him what was dirt and what was a bruise. he's got a gun now-he's got nothing to lose. (you live without love for too long, it might happen to you). but now he's got a home where he's not alone, and people care-he knows theyy do-he saw his picture on the evening news. take a look at yourself. do you like what you see? the things that you feel arent the things you were taught to believe. you had your inoculations as a child, so you wont go crazy-but youll never go wild-isnt that what you want? you wanna go wild...wild...wild. now you feel like a lonely man in a crowded room. you tell me nobody really cares-well how 'bout you? see, theres a man with his hand on the button out there, saying, in his life no one ever cared-so why should he care? why? dont wonder why. youre gonna be jsut like them. dont wonder why. youre gonna be just like them. i'll never be just like them.
My pappy said "Son your gonna drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop driving that hot rod Lincoln"
Have you heard the story of the hot rod race
Where the Fords and the Lincolns were setting the pace?
Well that story is true cause I'm here to say
I was driving that model A.
It's got Lincoln motor and its really souped up
And that model A body makes it look like a pup
It's got eight cylinders, uses them all
It's got overdrive, just won't stall
It's got a four barrel carb, and dual exhaust
With four, eleven gears you can really get lost.
It's got safety tubes, but I ain't scared
Breaks are good, tires fair
Pulling out of San Pedro late one night
With the moon and the stars just shining bright
We was headed up grapevine Hill
Passing cars like they was standing still
All of a sudden, in the wink of an eye
A Cadillac sedan passed us by
I said "Boys this ones marked for me"
But by then the tail lights was all you could see
Now the fellas rid me for being behind
So I thought I'd let that Lincoln unwind
Took my foot of the gas and man alive
I shoved it on down into over drive
Wound it up to 110
My speedometer said I hit top end
My foot was glued like lead to the floor
And that's all there is, and there ain't no more
Now the boys all thought that I'd lost my sense
Those telephone poles were like a picket fence
They said "Slow down, I see spots!"
The lines on the road just looked like dots
Took a corner, side swiped a truck
Crossed my fingers just for luck
My fenders was clicking the guard rail post
The guy beside me was white as a ghost
We had smoke coming from out of the back
When I started to gain on that Cadillac
I knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass
But don't you know by then we'd be low on gas
I had flames coming from out of the side
Feel the tension, man what a ride
I said "Look out boys, I've got a license to fly"
And that Caddy pulled over and let us by
All of the sudden she started knocking
Down in the dips she started rocking
I looked in the mirror. Red lights were blinking
The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln - Damn
The arrested me and they put me in jail
Called my pappy to throw my bail
And he said "Son, you're going to drive me to drinkin'
i woke up to see somebody staring at me through the window i knew it was you that's how we first met i was watching you undress i winked at you and you threw a shoe called the police honey please don't do this to me i wanna ask you out for saturday night if you bail me out i know we can work it out i picked you cause i knew that it felt right you dropped the charges then you drove me home that's when i knew we were alone i did my best to thank you gave me your name and number and said we have a date to pick you up and don't be late angeline 264-5783 the big house on the corner that looks like a tangerine great big windows easy to see in i took my chance and i moved in i turned on all my charm i put my arms around you explained the way i met you how i never meant to hurt you you said you shouldn't be staring at me like that but i couldn't turn down my first date since i moved to town we went out for a year one day her smile turned to tears said we can't go on i've met somebody new the same way i met you yeah and he nailed me with his charm honey please don't do this to me stick around i think that we can work it out maybe what we had was never meant to last i still look in your window when i pass your house maybe what we had was never meant to last i still look in your window when i pass your house

jesus h. christ sang a song about love, but nobody buys it. the law's laid down at the bottom line, and nobody defies it. it's a heavy rotation, that tells you what you need. stay tuned to this stagnation, satisfaction guaranteed by video and radio-they sold it to you. cashbox jukebox brain control. every song is perfect, and every face is perfect, oh yeah. plastic heavy metal, artificial soul. sanitized and glamorized synthetic lies are bought and sold. independent underdog fights to survive, it's so much cooler underground, classified and buried alive by video and radio-they sold it to you. cashbox jukebox brain control. every song is perfect, and every face is perfect, impersonal and perfect. jesus h. christ take a look at us, the sum of all we've seen. cold consumer zombies, with empty eyes and mtv. perfect....

i recognize the pieces but i dont know where they fit. i know exactly just enough to analyze the universe to bits. i know all there is to know about nothing at all. im all messed up, nowhere to go. ask me my address, i dont recall. its my fault. im an educated idiot, im smart enough to know i dont know. i know how an engine works, i dont know how to drive. i know where old zealand is, but barely know myy left feet from my right. i recognize the species but im not sure if i fit. we know just enough to analyze the universe to bits. i quit. im an educated idiot, im smart enough to know. an educated idiot. it sure is good to know im not alone.
Tears fall down and wash the dirt away Sky opens up to cry a while Too many tortured memories to pass the time The sun never shows its face Steel belts leave their tracks along the way Radio sings forgottn songs Summer always seems to be so far away The sun never shows its face Drive away, drive away forem everything that hurts Drive away, drive away from troubles of the world At night the highway seems so never ending The highway signs glare back and blind your understanding The moon comes out to light the way The sun never shoes its face Drive away, drive away from troubles of the world Drive away, drive away forem everything that hurts Time flies by, we all wonder why It takes time away to kill the pain Hearts celebrate but always bend You know it'll hurt until the end Tonight the headlight's shinging through There still time For everything to change Drive away, drive away from troubles of the world Drive away, drive away from troubles of the world Drive away, drive away forem everything that hurts Drive away, drive away forem everything that hurts
save your mundane platitudes for those who give a shit. i'll burn in hell and be through with it. ive got a life. it aint big, but its a life. and ive got clothes and heaven knows ive still got my health. i look good if i do say so myself. ive got a soul. it aint yours but its a soul. chalk up my lack of fire to self control. all the dicks with night sticks, poison boys in blue. all the dumb and uglies in your wrecking crew, they make me bleed, nothing i can do. i wouldnt be so sure if i were you. werent you the guys with the get lost eyes who made my high school great? you found me again. but this time youre here too late. i payed my dues when i wore corrective shoes, when i earned the right to ignore you. toughest kid in gym class. terror in the hall. necking with the prom queen, captain every fall. you cant cut me now because your knifes too dull. it must piss you off to know it all.
Unaware and all alone
his faith is god and he has none
beaten down, torn apart, bleeding hands
(chorus):
Was I the first to be crucified
king of fools or king of pride
I'll be the next to be crucified
Salvation is clawing at my back
temptation is tearing through the cracks
frustration is always bringing me back
(chorus)
Cast a light left and right
searching high and low
just to find my place
ere and dale, no avail
it's a race to the death
All you pricks who hide behind the cross
Accounting Heaven's gain by human loss
Hypocrite, hypocrite Christian
Hypocrite, hypocrite, crucifiction
God will love them better when they're dead
You murdered women screaming at the stakes
Built concentration camps and tortured slaves
Hypocrite, hypocrite Christian
Hypocrite, hypocrite, crucifiction
Pervert the truth that Jesus said
Go out and paint the town with Heathen red
You praise the lord and pass the ammunition
What makes you think that God will love them better when they're dead?
Onward Christian soldiers
Marching out to war
Pervert the truth that Jesus said
Go out and paint the town with Heathen red
You praise the lord and pass the ammunition
What makes you think that God will love them better when they're dead?
Onward Christian soldiers
Marching out to war
Jesus weeps and watches all you do
I know if there's a hell, it's meant for you
You hypocrite, hypocrite killer
Hypocrite, hypocrite killer Christian
Hypocrite, hypocrite Christian

I live in a box. I live on a one way street, but I don't mind.
'Cause I live alone. Nobody has to share my home.
And if I could choose I might pick a bigger box
But that's all I'd change, until I get a credit card
My home on the range is underneath my black hat
Until I wake up
I will not be watching you so you should not be watching me
I've got what I need. I've got a car that doesn't work.
I've got blood to bleed. I've got a bar of soap. I've got shampoo too
So I look like me but I smell like you.
I won the Nobel Prize. I made a thinner dime.
You know I'll get my act together when I find the time
But right now I think that living is a place to lie down.
You see I rule the dirt, so I'm the king of this town.
I live in the dark. I live in the silence, and I can say
That I see and hear how much more than the average bear
And if I could choose I might pick a darker void
But that's all I'd change, until I get a bigger club
My home on the range is somewhere in the closet,
Until I wake up.
I will not be watching you so you should not be watching me
So here's what we've got. You tell me what I am.
I'll tell you what I am not. You tell me what I'm not.
I'll tell you what I am. We'll both scratch our heads
Like we give a damn. Please tell me who comes out ahead
Was it me or you? Was it me or you? (probably you)
I live in my skull. I'm under my eyelids. You can't touch me.
'Cause I'm fast asleep. You wouldn't like the friends I keep.
And I could choose I might pick a larger head
But that's all I'd change, until I get a safe way out.
My home on the range is right behind my eyeballs.
we didnt have enough time, not enough time to do what we wanted, to do what we started, before we got parted, at the party. all my friends were there and you were too. you could see that i could see through you. was i so boring i started you snoring? why did you sleep in the corner like a heap of clothes? who knows? i was gonna call you up. im not gonna. got your number but i dont know where. i dont care. dont tell me you had to much to drink. i was standing with you by the sink. was i so boring i started you snoring? why did you sleep in the corner like a heap of clothes. who knows? i was gonna call you up. im not gonna. i got your number but i dont know where. i dont care. we didnt have enought time, not enought time to do what we wanted, what we started, before we parted, at the party.
When I was young I wallowed in none
You know none is no way to be
You must go for ALL
Go for ALL and ALL will set you free
If you continue to wallow in noneconcious and hollow
Nonetheless go for ALL and ALLness will follow
ALL, like gravity, is there ALL the time
Applehead Newton was a figment of mind
Run far and wide but you can't hide
We're ALL - we got no sense of pride!
We won't exercise undue force
Or engage in somenatious intercourse
ALLulations to the ALL-worthy
ALL is ALL you need
It's the fifth primary colour
It's the number between zero and infinity
Some would have you settle for itself
When ALL is in your grasp
When I was young I wallowed in none
You know none is no way to be
Now I go for ALL!
Go for ALL and ALL will set you free
Don't mistake ALL for love or hate
It's not like any other mental state
It's the total extent, when nothing else remains
The utmost possible of possible gains
There'll be no selfishness, evil, or greed
ALL don't care about your race or creed
ALL is ALL you have to do
Cause anything else would be A.U.
I was a non entity once
Then I receive a revALLution
It made me re evALLuate my way of life
I ALLivated my outlook
Some daid I had ALLterior motives
They were right
My life started ALL over again
It's ALL up to you
But are you up to ALL?
Ye must quest ALL
Lest ye become somefull
Or something of a noneskull
Wir schreiben das Jahr 1987. Ein einsamer Schlagzeuger namens Bill Stevenson sitzt
einsam mit einem Glas Wein zu Hause. Milo hat die Descendents verlassen, die Band
hat sich (vorerst) getrennt – und der arme Bill ist kurzfristig arbeitslos geworden.
Doch bevor er sich dem Suff ergibt, wird ihm klar: Er braucht eine neue Band! Und so
trommelt er Bassist Karl Alvarez, Gitarrist Stephen Egerton und Sänger Dave Smalley
zu sich heran und gründet All – benannt nach dem gleichnamigen Descendents Album aus
dem selben Jahre.Und diesmal möchte er eine Band, die nicht ständig ein Album
aufnimmt, sich wieder trennt und danach ein Comeback startet, um sich danach wieder
zu trennen. Er möchte einfach ein "normales" Bandleben führen und die Fans
regelmäßig mit Output bedienen. Und so werfen sie schon 1988 ihr Debutalbum
"Allroy Sez" unter die Massen. All sprechen vor allem die Fans der
Descendents an – mit Erfolg. All wird recht schnell ein größeres Publikum zuteil und
bringen es mit der Zeit zu internationalem Ansehen in der Punkszene. Allerdings gibt
es schon ein Jahr später den ersten Wechsel zu verkünden: Dave Smalley verlässt die
Band. Doch kein Grund zur Panik, denn Scott Reynolds findet sich schnell, um seinen
Platz am Mikro zu übernehmen und 1989 schon wird Album Nummer zwei "Allroy's
Revenge" auf den Markt gebracht. Doch auch Scott Reynolds hält es nicht lange
bei All und 1993 wird er dann von Chad Price ersetzt, der noch heute bei All die
Vocals beisteuert. 1995 haben es All dann geschafft: Ihr Album "Pummel"

We can try to forget
We can try to walk away
But that feelings there
And it won't ever go away
Sometimes the more things change
The more they stay the same
Now the fears are gone
And I know life's O.K.
When I see you again
As life goes by
Don't look back and wonder why
You didn't see that band
Or kiss that girl and hold her hand
Go have some fun
We've only just begun
You've gotta live life now
While you got it in your hand
When I feel it again
The sky goes grey
And starts to cry
You go away
And so do I
But you
i'm broken, fix me or "86" me i've lost more than i ever knew i had felt this before, but it never hurt so bad i'm broken, out of control how much can i hate? let me count the ways bend until i break i can't stand me or understand me wish i was crazy wish i was stupid or sorry... sorry how much can i hate? let me count the ways bend until i break i'm broken, fix me or "86" me i've lost more than i ever knew i had felt this before, but it never hurt so bad i'm broken, out of control how much can i hate? let me count the ways bend until i break
There must be something that you don't understand
About me -
Because I can't believe all the things that you say,
And they you want to stay
Well count me out of your plans
And you know that hurts me, man
I guess that all I have today
Is a memory of you yesterday
Well I just can't believe
No I just can't believe
The things you said to me today
That couldn't have been you I saw
That must have been another girl
It's true that you look the same
But you're acting so different
'Cause you're playing a whole new game
With those new friends of yours
The ones that you met last week
I hope that they prove to be
All the images they wanted you to see
Well I won't stick around
And pick you off the ground
When things come crashing down
Now you're walking on a ledge
Don't walk with me
And now you've lost your edge
Don't talk to me
'Cause I just can't believe
No I just can't believe
You came clearer than ever before
You did what no one else can
Just never follow up when I'm awake
Because I'd hurt you. You'd hurt me too.
You are a dream. This is the longest time I've been with someone
There's no explaining, no escaping
You are for real and nothing will ever come between us
There's no need to look to deep
I'll just never go to sleep
I felt your body as I remember
Put me to shame when I was through
I put you down inside myself
But you manage to do it. You always do
Did you know you missed the point of dreaming
When you said you needed more and more
You ended up with less
This time I have you with me
I pulled you out when I got up
I beat your pretty face
I will make this one real
Everything wet; pillow with tears
Sheets with sweat. I'm tired
Feel her love
Watch her lie
Fell her love
Watch her lie
Sugar and spice
And everything nice
I hate to break the news
But you've been riding on a great big lie
I hate to break the news
But you've been riding on a great big lie
Don't be fooled - she's not pure
But you can still take that girl
For what she's worth
Get it through your head
It will never feel the way it did
That first time
Sugar and spice - you feel deceived
Sugar and spice - in here you believed
Sugar and spice - now it's your turn to cry
Sugar and spice - because it's all a great big lie
What are girls made of?
Sugar ans spice
What are the made of?
Sugar and spice
You and me got a stupid kind of love Stupid in every way The only thing we agree on is that we disagree How can two people see so many things so differently?

Stupid in every way The only time its a good time is when were having sex You say tomato I say beef jerky Look what you do to me You and me got a stupid kind of love Every time you give me shit Stupid in every way Im getting sick of you. Using only half your half wit You tell me were in love Isnt this just great for me?! You and me got a stupid kind of love But you dont even trust me Stupid in every way What kind of stupid kind of love is this?

teresa i know you love me like you used to do
I know what time you will arrive
'Cause l've been waiting for you every night
I know you can't see me
My heart skips a beat
I hear footsteps down the hall
I've been waiting right behind your door
No one will hear
Don't you worry my dear
It's your eyes, your smile
It's your hair, your face
It's your life
I cut the cord on your phone
I've been secretly walking you home
I know you can't see me
My heart skips a beat
Under your bed is my secret place
At night I keep the hair out of your face
No one will hear
Don't you worry my dear
It's your eyes, your smile
It's your hair, your face
So much dirt has been thrown
I thought it was buried
So much time has passed
I thought it was over
So many slurs have been made
I thought it couldn't be made worse
I thought once again I could trust you
Wrong again
Now I know you'll never let go
Now I know we can't be friends again
You pray for my damnation
I pray I'll never be like you
But I won't offer you my absolution
Did you really expect me too?
This is my way of walking away
Now I close my ears to your lies
Any faith I had in you is gone
Now I know your words disguise
Wrong again
Enjoy your hate; I'll regret my pity for you
she spent the money on a loaf of wonderbread, and a can of beefaroni italian food today, what does he think when he pours himself a drink and he looks at me that way? he spent a fortune on the labor and the parts, got to keep it running another year or two. what does she say every time i drive away in her dad's old subaru? household appliances, all rent to own, no telephone. debts unpaid left up to fate are heavy on the head, can't let each other know, and so nothing's said. but that's a cop out when you break it all apart and analyze the pieces, the bottom line is truth, what in the world makes a happy boy and girl buy their old age with their youth? harsh words from relatives, they won't leave us alone. why pay the telephone? at any rate there is no fate, except someday they'll be dead, and who will tell them each what was never said? and now she's nervous as he's coming up the drive, he's afraid to tell her how short their money goes these days. who gives a damn about a woman and a man who are sure that neither understands why they look and act that way?
I go to that wishing well
Stand looking down
So many thoughts cloud my brain
As I think about their lives
I think of all the things I'd do
If wishes could come true
Each time I leave that wishing well
I hold my head up high
Because I'm not afraid to dream
I'm not afraid to cry
I think of all the things I'd do
If wishes could come true
If only there were peace on Earth
(only wishes don't come true)
If only justice walked in blue
(only wishes don't come true)
If only everybody cared
(only wishes don't come true)
If only we could work together
If only we could never say never:
I think of all the things I'd do
If wishes could come true
Each time I leave that wishing well
I hold my head up high
I've got a thousand wishes
And I'm not afraid to try
I think of all the things I'd do
If wishes could come true
I tossed a penny in the well
A useless gesture, just as well
I watched it fall
A penny for your thoughts -
Do you care at all?
I think of all the things I'd do

What do we do?
What do you think we should do, Shreen?
What do you think about me and you?
Today, I heard the song that was playing
When I first kissed you
I woke up next to someone who wasn't you
I never thought I'd say this, Shreen
But I'm not happy
Today, I'm driving to your house
And you're going to hear the truth
What do we do?
What do you think we should do, Shreen?
What do you think about me and you?
The passion we once felt has died
And it's not coming back
If we don't find a new one
Then it's all over for you and I
So, talk to me, say something
See me through everything
(Your eyes say everything)
Yell at me, say anything
I see you in everything
(I can't look at you)
No, we can't say goodnight
Until we know what's right
And we can't face the day
Unless we find a way
And we can't solve it all
But we never see the fault
Today I heard the song that was playing
When I first kissed you
I woke up next to someone who wasn't you
What do we do?
What do you think we should do, Shreen?
What do you think about me and you, Shreen?
(What do we do?)
What do you think we should do, Shreen?
What do you think about me and you, Shreen?
(What do we do?)
What do you think we should do, Shreen?

father left home when you turned 14. took the best, left the rest for the simple things. the simple things come easy when youve been used. tried every drug in the neighborhood. but nothing can change your mind about the simple things. the simple things come easy when youve been abused. life is cheap, money's free, these are what we call the simple things, desperate now, gun to your mouth, is death worse than life when you live for the simple things? the simple things come easy when youve no choice, it smells outside from the atomic tide, and you have no money and nowhere to hide. the simple things come easy when youve no voice. the simple things come easy, when the good things in life arent free. i will try to protect you from within myself. let the simple things run their course. i cant trust my family and friends. its all around, they all want the simple things. the simple things come easy, if you believe. i'll draw my lines, choose my defense. when it all comes down theyll kill for the simple things. the simple things come easy if you concede.

Today she made the pain stop
With the sound of her voice
I've learned to live with doubt
And I've learned to live without
But not by choice
I've had enough sad memories
To last me all my life
I've learned to live with doubt
And I've learned to live without
But not this time
I was walking wounded
I said, "Never again"
She makes it easy
She's my best friend, my best friend
She's right
I look in her eyes
I like what I find
I've learned to live with doubt
And I've learned to live without
But not this time
We speak the same anguish
When we make love she smiles
I've learned to live with doubt
And I've learned to live without
But not this time
I was walking wounded
I said, "Never again"
She makes it so easy
She's my best friend, my best friend
She's right
I was walking wounded
I said, "Never again"
She makes me happy
To be her best friend
She says, she's my best friend
I'd like to see you every night and day
With sex in the way
I can't see a thing
And dream about you every night and day
With sex in the way
I can't see a thing
My mind's between your legs
My soul is lying in your bed
Now I'm not really sure
Things so evil feel so pure
I'd like to see if I deserve your love
With sex in the way
I can't see a thing
Why must we kiss?
Each time we say goodbye
Why must we say
That three word lover's lie
I'd like to see if you are as you seem
With sex in the way
I can't see a thing
I'd like to see if I deserve your love
With sex in the way
I can't see a thing
I'd like to see if you are as you seem
With sex in the way
She's a pretty little girl
So she's never alone
You see her pretty walking by
And want her for your own
In every room she's in
Every eye's on her
Memorizing every line
Every move and every curve
Of all the pretty little girls
You know she is the queen
From all the pretty little pictures
In the pretty magazines
You tell her that you love her
But she won't know how you feel
She's as pretty as a picture
But only half as real
You gave so much
You had to know
It took so little
To hurt you so
She's learned that a pretty girl
Can smile and get her way
It so happens that it's certain
That it happens everyday
Anything she wants she can get so easily
And a pretty little girl is all she ever has to be
You gave so much
You had to know
It took so little
You hurt you so
But you can bet
That she shed some tears for you
But I bet you that they were
A pretty little precious few
Now your eyes are open
Can't you see just what she's done?
She's made of fool of many others
And you're just another one
From her pretty little head
To her pretty little toes
Pretty little on her mind
I want to forget
The day we met
And the way I felt inside
I'm just a perfect failure
And all my plans gone wrong again
I'll never replace you
But you are sick
And I know there's no cure
So much to hate
But I hate to see you go
Without a fighting chance
I'll never replace you
But you are sick
And I know there's no cure
It doesn't matter what I call you
As long as I call you
So I won't call you anything
Or you'll always have me
In the palm of your hand
So right now I forget you
Can you do the same for me?
You never tell the truth
But I can't call you a liar
You're never faithful
But I can't call you anything
It doesn't matter what I call you
As long as I call you
It doesn't matter what I say
If I'm talking about you
I can't call you anything
Ambition has its price
Nothing ever works out for me
I forget everything im told
Now i fucken lost my keys
AGAIN!!
Wont let anything go smooth
Wont let nothing rest
Im Problematic 4x
Theres always something wrong
Nothing ever works for me
Makes me so absent minded
Trip on my own two feet
Nothings ever good enough
Even when ive done my best
Im Problematic 3x
Wont let anything go smooth
Wont let nothing rest
Even when ive done my FUCKING best!!
Im Problematic
Im Problematic
Keep your politics out of my life
Your politics out of my face
Your politics out of my way
Maybe I wanna drink myself to death
Yeah, I voted - for none of the above
Who the fuck are you to tell me what to believe in?
Keep your politics out of my life
Your politics out of my way
Your politics out of my music
Nobody can control me
I'm gonna do what I wanna do
Hey Mr. President, you can suck my cock
when it adds up to nothin' it makes you wonder why you try. stunned and numb left wondering why when the truth is cruel, the lies turn white. i called and couldn't reach you, i got too hung up. i'm a phase that you've outgrown, lying in the darkness all alone. you got a fake i.d. and somewhere else to be with someone who isn't me. tell yourself it meant something, used to mean a lot to me. something died, just the pain survived. when i got tired of crying i dried my eyes. burn the bridges that you must, past to ashes, trust to dust, empty loneliness and lust. love wasn't enough, trust wasn't enough. i believed what you said was true, ever always only you. just another broken trust, nothing's forever. i believe what you said was true. it wasn't enough. i believe that you meant it too. it wasn't enough 'cause your promise means nothin' much less than nothing', 'cause you left me with nothing now.
it's been three months since i heard your voice i try to make myself believe that i made the right choice it's been three months since i thought about you i'm fooling myself, i can't live without you i'll lay my head down on my pillow and cry myself to sleep it's not easy being me it's been three months since i felt your skin and all i can do is wait to touch it again it's been three months since i heard you cry when we made love everything seemed all right i'll lay my head down on my pillow and cry myself to sleep it's not easy being, it's not easy being, it's not easy being me i was fine for the moment but for the last three months i've been broken now i can't face my fears i'm running scared it's been three months since i've seen your smile it's been some time since i smiled myself it's been three months since i heard you say i love you i've found that i can't live without hearing you say it i'll lay my head down on my pillow and cry myself to sleep it's not easy being, it's not easy being i was fine for the moment but for the last three months i've been broken now i can't face my fears i'm running scared now i can't face my fears i'm running scared
bathing in the blue light nightmare of the t.v. war. it's too late, i'm tired, but i can't see sleeping. simple central fact i can't ignore-nobody's hands are clean. watch close, history shows the one familiar hell we know. birthright violence, cemetery silence, makes me sick and sorry for us all. poison sky and poison sea. too bad we can't say we don't know better. both hands are tied by need and greed nobody's hands are clean. watch close, history shows the one familiar hell we know. birthright violence, cemetery silence, endless marching armies. ancient rages, sacred pages, makes me sick and sorry for us all. nobody's hands are clean, it's true and it's obscene. the whole god damned human race and me. born through love and blood, alone and naked. condemned forever to be free, nobody's hands are clean.
I know something you don't know
Something that you've probably guessed
I just had to let you know
Had to get it off my chest
Strictly between you and me
Is simply how it ought to be
I can't keep it secret now
There's nothing up my sleeve
I need you here with me
The last thing I would ever do
Is try to hurt or frighten you
I know you've heard this all before
But won't you listen just once more?
The words just don't come easily
Another girl might laugh at me
I'd never need another girl if you were mine today
Do you feel the same way?
Well I could turn
And we'd both be
Alone today
It's true
But I believe in you
I won't turn away from you

the phone is ringing as i dig for a pen. i change my face and answer and then, grope and sputter for the right thing to say. to earn another week, "see given time i can pay." what aout the bills, what about the rent? what about the days in the park you never spent? i wonder whats the use, i need time to have a purpose. my treasure maps been on the shelf for so long. its not my choice and thats whats so wrong. our time together a receipt in her purse, one makes up the other and that makes it worse. what about the streets, what about the crowd? what about the simple existence you avowed? what about the words written on her face. what about your promise to leave this place? not alive, jsut living. when we're dont packing and i crawl in the van, i'll smash the phone just as fast as i can. i cant remember when i didnt know about lones and touch tone phones. it wasnt that long ago. what about those feelings, what about that touch? what about the little things that used to mean so much? what about my hopes, what about my fear? what about my heart that wont produce tears anymore?

All the fun I never had
All the love you never gave
All the brains I never used
Against womankind, away from you
Fighting for the softest touch
Biting for the slowest kiss
Hating waiting to be missed
I could be a romantic kind of guy with you
Against womankind, away from you
You can laugh and I don't care
You'd never have the guts to dare
Or the heart to be aware
Pictures sever to hold me back
The only time the lens didn't crack
Was when I was by you
The truth is I feel better being miserable without you
Then happy with someone else
I want your friends to bury you
I want to watch them bury you
Then I'll know that I knew you
I prefer the dead of night
To living with a breathing lie that looks like you
And I prefer the cold of heart
i thought you could take me away for a minute, but now i know it was just that way for a minute. i told no lies, no alibis, our little love was real for a minute. good thing i can only stay for a minute, i've never felt that way, even for a minute. for a minute, i believed in you, there was nothing i wouldn't do. for a minute with you, i gave up everything i had. now it's over and i feel relief for a minute. i criticize trouble and end up being the one who's in it. my shame grows strong, i'm know i've done wrong, but our little love was real for a minute.
It's a man's world she's leaving in
It's a man's world and she's giving in
Always wrong, all because it's a man's world
A woman's work is never done
A woman's job is a thankless one
So she can cry all she wants to
[Chorus]
She has to fight to be heard
She has to fight for all she's worth
[Chorus]
Self made sacrifice, she's paid the price
Revenge, now she's playing to win
Now she's made up her mind
She will never be left behind
She will try all she wants to
It's a man's world she's leaving in
It's a man's world and she won't give in
She's right this time
Self made sacrifice, she's paid the price,
Revenge, now she's playing to win
flames burning, steam rising, my appetite grows hot. and she know i'm itching' to see what's inside those pots. we come around 'bout a quarter to three, can't keep a good man from his afternoon feed. best bring your manners or you won't get served.

If you talk to Mary please don't look at me
Cause she's never seen me before
Don't call attention to the man outside of me
Cause she can cut my head off with the blinking of her eye
And I'm not supposed to be here and I'm too young to die
See, she carries my confusion in the pocket of her jeans
I go bouncing like a pinball in between extremes
I'm not surprised, this happens all the time
And my hand lights her cigarette inside my mind
And she's never seen me before
So if you talk to Mary please don't mention me
Cause she's never seen me before
Just let me hide behind the smoke and the pleasantries
Cause I do my best work with the mannequin brigade
I just peek around the statues spitting art and foreign trade
She looks a hole right through me to a shadow on the wall
Till I'm sick of my surroundings while I'm not here at all
I'm not surprised this happens all the time
And my hand lights her cigarette inside my mind
And she's never seen me before
Warhol monotone, robotic talk, we're all so smart we're so perceptive
But her mouth doesn't move, except to smile to be polite
To receptive
She burns me with a glance. I look away
I'm safely cool, I'm so deceptive
I'd give my right arm for a different situation
Convince myself I see everybody watching me
If I ever get out of this hole that I'm in
I'll take a stand. I'll be a man of steel.
Too many mistakes, not enough breaks
In my life for one man to stand
I will overcome my fears, and I'll be a strong as I appear.
crabs, scabies the glamour, the fashion life on the road is pretty fuckin' cool to me farts, feet the romance, the passion life on the road is pretty fuckin' cool to me too many people bitch and whine about being on the road too much of the time ya being on tour does take its toll but it's way better than sitting at home alright now, it's a flat tire alkies, addicts the vomit, the rat piss life on the road is pretty fuckin' cool to me so squat it and thrust it cause you are in russia life on the road is pretty fuckin' cool to me bring it on right now about getting no sleep on the dirty floor of the broken van life on the road is pretty fuckin' cool as a matter of fact it's very very cool ya life on the road is pretty fuckin' cool to me
is there nothing sacred in this world to believe in? only god knows how ive tried to find out what is real. is my heart the last refuge of love? every time that i close my eyes i wonder at the people and the fixations theyre under. is there no one who can see the good in me? even i get caught inside and its hard to fight the passing of time (etched upon my face). i dont want to die just to get away. i dont want to cry just to get my way. everytime that i close my eyes i dream of what life would be like if you were not shallow. is my heart the last refuge of love?
It has to be time to take you in my arms
And show you how I feel
It has to be here, it has to be now
Or this one won't be real
It has to be time to leave it all behind
What a perfect time for me to make you mine
I know I can make everything just perfect
I'm the only boy who can make you see
That you're the only girl in the world for me
I know I can make everything just perfect
I know I can make everything just perfect
Cause when I'm with you then everything's just perfect
You wouldn't have to take anything
Except me with you wherever you go
I know I can make everything just perfect
So throw away the weed that you don't need
Show me all the things that I've never seen
I know I can make everything just perfect
I know I can make everything just perfect
Cause when I'm with you then everything's just perfect
It's the perfect time to leave it all behind
And put your life in place
Because I can replace all the drugs you take
With the smile on my face
So it's yes if I can really trust you
And it's no if I can only lust you
I know I can make everything just perfect
You can do no wrong no matter what I say
I can only make everything just perfect
I know I can make everything just perfect
I sent you a valentine. I'm afraid it won't get there till June
Somehow I lost track of time, but you know I'm a fool for you
I send a bouquet of roses, the kind that you're allergic to
You know that I don't know better, you know I'm a fool for you
Head over heels, banana peels, it's funny how you make me feel
Like of love sick slapstick tragedy - would you like to
Fool around with me?
I'd fall of the highest mountain, drown in the deepest river too
Catch a cold in the hottest desert, you know I'm a fool for you
I would sing outside your window if I could only hold a tune
I suck so hold it against me. You know I'm a fool for you
The real world seems so mean to me that I can't take it seriously
But I love your laugh and I hope you see that I just might be the
Fool you need
Every single time I'm with you something's wrong with what I do
dont like what they do, lock them away
dont like what they say, lock them away
does your child display the seven warning signs? lock them away
they're not quite what you had in mind, lock them away
we've got drugs and therapy,
we will fix them for a fee
erasing the mistake, lock them away
three strikes and youre out, lock them away
they're guilty beyond doubt, lock them away
ignore the poor, build more jails,
dont ask where their system fails,
erasing the mistake, lock em away
dont want to see them, wont take their calls
reduce them to a numbered room
like they were never there at all
the old, the sick and lame, lock them away
we ought to be ashamed the way we lock them away
just you wait, we've got a place
when you no longer pull your weight
erasing the mistake
erasing the mistake

CHOURS RE 2
There are few who'd deny, at what I do I am the best
For my talents are renowned far and wide
When it comes to surprises in the moonlit night
I excel without ever even trying
With the slightest little effort of my ghostlike charms
I have seen grown men give out a shriek
With the wave of my hand, and a well-placed moan
I have swept the very bravest off their feet
Yet year after year, it's the same routine
And I grow so weary of the sound of screams
And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King
Have grown so tired of the same old thing
Oh, somewhere deep inside of these bones
An emptiness began to grow
There's something out there, far from my home
A longing that I've never known
I'm a master of fright, and a demon of light
And I'll scare you right out of your pants
To a guy in Kentucky, I'm Mister Unlucky
And I'm known throughout England and France
And since I am dead, I can take off my head
To recite Shakespearean quotations
No animal nor man can scream like I can
With the fury of my recitations
But who here would ever understand
That the Pumpkin King with the skeleton grin
Would tire of his crown, if they only understood
He'd give it all up if he only could
Oh, there's an empty place in my bones
That calls out for something unknown
The fame and praise come year after year
Her glance can make you short of breath
Your heart stop dead in your chest
She has what words just can't express
She gives a kiss that's cursed and says-
"I hate to love"
A word, a song, a smile, a tear
She doesn't care for me, it's clear
I'll never tell
It hurt like hell
To see her turn and disappear
I hate to love
I hate to love
She's laughing beside someone else
And I'm alone beside myself
She's like no one else
Hung by my rope
Strung out
Hurt
Let it drop, it just won't work
Stretch my neck across the block
Heart in my hand, axe in hers, (while she's says)
"I hate to love"
I hate to love
So I do without
And die within
Once we were two
It wore too thin
It just wore too thin
I hate to love
It hurts too much
Everytime
hey bug are you tryin' to go to sleep? windows slam up, people slam up, radio slam up, are you tryin' to go to sleep?

I'm tired of being lonely all the time
Let's shake and sweat, break the bed
Said c'mon, dive in, the water's warm and fine
Ready on your mark get set
It's a horizontal party, it's a party for two tonight
They're gonna hear the screamin' from Tokyo to Berlin
She's got a tight schedule but I think that she can
fit me in
Day and night from A.M. to P.M.
It's alright
When she says when, alright
Top or bottom
Sideways, upside down
Let's do the dance that makes the world go 'round
Let's shake and sweat, break the bed
Ready on your mark get set
It's a horizontal party, it's a party for two tonight
(It's a horizontal party, it's a party for two)
Well, it's a horizontal party, it's a party for two

"i had a frog like that when i was much, much younger. one day i let ol' oscar get away. the other night we had a similar fog. i thought i saw him in a hollow log. i swear to god i do miss that frog."
Tilting at windmills
I'm always trying
To knock things down
Or bring 'em around
But they don't come down
They won't come around
Like society
Or that girl that I used to see
Now these are things that just don't change
But I'm tilting at windmills
I know I suck already
You don't even have to tell me
I'm guilty
I feel guilty all the time
I did everything you thought
I only stopped 'cause I got caught
And I'm guilty
I feel guilty all the time
She's leavin today, there's no other way
No need for me to say what was on my mind
Everything I've done has been a waste of our time
I'm just guilty
I'm guilty
Your going to leave me when you hear this song
I've been lying to you all along
And I'm guilty
I feel guilty all the time
You're innocent and I'm in shame
I don't even remember their names
And I'm guilty
I feel guilty all the time
She's leaving today, there's no other way
To keep her from crying all the time
All the lies are what made it a crime
I'm just guilty
I'm guilty
What's done is done
I don't want to defend myself
This time it's all my fault
You say you've lost all respect
'Cause I've gone against everything I've said
I'll probably end up dead and alone
Drove away the coolest girl I've known
And I'm guilty
I feel guilty all the time
She's leaving today, there's no other way
No need for me to say what was on my mind
Everything I've done has been a waste of our time
I'm just guilty
I'm guilty
I feel guilty

freaky...i wanna be your sex machine. you freaky thing, you freaky thing. get up!
it's not my fault, it wasn't up to you. christmas eve comes once a year and that will never do. your image started fading, i closed my eyes to see. tell me do you close your eyes for me? now your door seems half a world away, the price of gasoline is more than i can pay. plus i don't have a car i can call my very own, i guess i'll spend another night alone. if i could say i'm sorry, who would i say it to? besides apologies mean less than dirt to folks like me and you. you know it's true. should i say too bad, or so what? what's appropriate? should i show it? call you on the phone and let you know it? back at my house there's nothing on tv, the bathroom mirror casts confusing looks from me to me. i watched you from a distance, for too briefly held you close, i guess that's just the way this story goes.
you can go kill yourself don't matter to me since i've finally put you out of my misery. i don't love you either, it only hurts when i breathe. i always knew you'd leave me, let you string me a long. i pretended to believe you so that i could write this song i'll get along, you'll see it only hurts when i breathe. and if i said forever, i stand corrected, disappointment is the price i paid for hope. love's a bloody wreck, just like i expected. i won't hold my breath waiting for you to come home. i'm happy alone, i like these four walls i'll sit by the phone, making sure that you don't call. i don't care at all, it only hurts when i breathe. and if i ever said forever i stand corrected...and alone love's a bloody wreck, just like i expected i won't hold my breath waiting for you to come home i'm doing o.k., got no complaints, i know you're no angel, god knows that i ain't no saint i'm feeling no pain, not me. it only hurts when i breathe. believe what you want to believe, i'm finally, actually, totally agony free, except......
gonna fun until i run, until i run right out of gas man. gonna spit on everything until my mouth is as dry as sand. i know exactly what you know about all the reasons. you know, i know the answers. i just dont know what to do, what to do. so i do most anything to avoid a head-on confrontation with the guy who looks at me and points out all i havent done. i say "fuck you, you dont have to tell me exactlyy where im at. you know, i know the answer. but that dont help me know what to do, what to do." maybe i'll shave my head and hang out in the airport 'till i drop dead. or be a social butterfly and find fame, know all the fat cats by their first name. gotta do it now. i need a brain storm. gotta be the early bird and get that stinking worm. but who wants a worm? i dont eat worms. i hate worms! i need somebody who can find a wayy out of a sticky situation. someone who can take a piece of me and turn it into gold. could that someone be you, and does that even matter? maybe i dont know the answer. i sure as shit dont know what to do, what to do. and so im gonna run, until i run, until i run right out of gas.
I get up in the morning
But mostly in the afternoon
The sun gets up too early
The moon goes down too soon
What can I expect from the day ahead?
Maybe I'll just sleep instead, no escaping it
Sunrise, who owns your time?
9-5 for life
What can I expect from the years ahead?
I get up in the morning
But mostly in the afternoon
The sun gets up to early
The moon goes down to soon
If you would go away. I could sleep all day
Up from the mud, one seed, four seasons
Just because is good enough of a reason
Every pain you've ever known
Was coaxing diamonds out of coal
Have no fear at all
You have a soul, it can't be owned
Take the heat, take control
You're free and that's the only way to be
Up from the dust, one heart, ten fingers
Just because is good enough, it's the only reason
Every pain you've ever known
Was coaxing diamonds out of coal
Have no fear at all
You have a soul, it can't be owned
Take the heat, take control
You're free
Every pain you've ever known
Was coaxing diamonds out of coal
Have no fear at all
You have a soul, it can't be owned
Take the heat, take control
