This is the story of love that came undone
This is the story of two men
And a gun of two men and a gun
A man that I'd never met stole my wife and son
But that's been nearly three years now
And it's over with and done
At first I'd stare out into space
While hate consumed my soul
Hate was the creed by which I lived
And revenge my only goal
But the road to happiness isn't paved with hate
I'm glad I learned how to forgive before it was too late
Now here's the way the other man
Paid for what he'd done
I heard it from the man's own lips
Who took my wife and son
I didn't really know this man but I'd seen him 'round
He's a new guard at the factory
Where I work, west of town
This fellow swung into step with me and said I've got to talk
I listened spellbound at his words
As we stood on the walk
You, the guard said hoarsely
Are a kind man, I surmise
As he stood there with his handkerchief
Wiping in his eyes
Three years ago I wronged a man
I stole his wife and son
I didn't realize then the terrible thing that I had done
This thing gets hold of me at night
And I can't sleep or rest
Forgive me, sir, but telling it
Seems to get it off my chest
When my past looms up like this
It kinda helps me to unload
I'm one man, sir, who knows for sure
That you reap just what you sow
I sure appreciate your listening, it helps me a lot
You know to have that man's forgiveness
I'd give everything I've got
Well, I feel much better now I, I didn't get your name
More why that was my wife's name before we wed
It's odd your name's the same
You know I'd kill a man
Who'd do to me the thing that I've done
And when the truth got through to him
He handed me his gun
As I gave the weapon back
I said what's done is done
I like the noise and I like the smell
And where the lead ends up, what the hell
I've got a gun
So you be the robber and I'll be the cop
Cowboy saloons where someone gets dropped
GI Joe goin' over the top
I don't much care as long as I pop pop pop my gun
You better run
'Cause I'm young, dumb and I've got a gun
Public idiot number one
'Cause I'm young, dumb and I've got a gun
The constitution says that I'm so blessed
That I can clean my piece on the supreme court steps
My pretty gun
There's many like it, yeah but this one's mine
A good replacement for a lack of spine
When tribulation makes me need to unwind
And pierce the air like I'm in Palestine
Here's my gun
This is my rifle, this is my gun
This is for fighting and this is for fun
I hate to gush but I'm your biggest fan
I really love the way you fit my hand
You're with me always like a wedding band
More than a friend to me, my true identity
You're smooth and hard and that's the way you stay
Bright and polished like a Chardonay
Fully loaded as a New Year's Day
With a round in the chamber
Shoot shoot
I got an idea of something we can do with a gun
Sink load and fire till the empire reaps what they've sown
Shoot shoot shoot till their minds are open
Shoot shoot till their eyes are closed
Push push push till we get some motion
Push push till the bombs explode, yeah
I got an idea that we can do it all on our own
Nothing to worry regret must weigh a ton
Kick kick kick till the laws are broken
Kick kick till the boots are worn
Hit hit hit till the truth is spoken
Hit hit till the truth is born, yeah
Born
Me and my partner we work on the run
The quick try to get quicker
And the creepers get hung
Now it's you that got wasted tonight on the job
One lost his liquor
And the other lost his hand
Ten sticky thumb prints on the door and the sink
But nothin' saw nothin' - just smell the stink
Five hundred mugshots and a hundred to one
Four forgotten and the rest just won't come
When you've begun to think like a gun
The rest of the year has already gone
When you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone.
Blood on the windows and blood on the walls
Blood on the ceiling and down in the halls
And the papers keep pounding on everything I burned
And the people getting restless but they'll never learn
I picked up a doctor - he's good with a knife
Says anaesthetic's a waste of his time
Works in a hurry but always worthwhile
Knows they won't be back for a long long time
Top of the staircase was ready to fall
We were still waiting downstairs in the hall
Watch out for big mama, she'll set you on fire
Or go for your neck with the chicken wire
When you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone
Once you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have already gone
Mother of plenty, mother of none
You've got me cornered and still on the run
I don't care nothing about you anyway
Stuck in this hole I'm on my way
Yeah when you've begun to live like a gun
The days of the year have already gone
When you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone
Me and my partner we work on the run
The quick try to get quicker
And the creepers get hung
Now it's you that got wasted tonight on the job
One lost his liquor
And the other lost his hand
Ten sticky thumb prints on the door and the sink
But nothin' saw nothin' - just smell the stink
Five hundred mugshots and a hundred to one
Four forgotten and the rest just won't come
When you've begun to think like a gun
The rest of the year has already gone
When you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone
(Well) blood on the windows and blood on the walls
Blood on the ceiling and down in the halls
And the papers keep downing on everything I burned
And the people getting restless but they'll never learn
I picked up a doctor - he's good with a knife
Says anaesthetic's a waste of his time
Works in a hurry but always worthwhile
Knows they won't be back for a long long time
Top of the staircase was ready to fall
We were still waiting downstairs in the hall
Watch out for big mama, she'll set you on fire
Or go for your neck with the chicken wire

Stuck in this hole I'm on my way
Yeah when you've begun to live like a gun
The days of the year have already gone
When you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone
Now me and my partner we work on the run
The quick try to get quicker and the creepers get hung
It's you that got wasted tonight on the job
One lost his liquor, the other lost his hand
Ten sticky thumb prints on the door and the sink

When you've begun to think like a gun

Papers keep pounding and everything that burns
People getting restless but they'll never learn
I picked up a doctor he's good with a knife
Says anesthetic's a waste of his time
Works in a hurry but always worthwhile
Knows they won't be back for a long, long time
Top of the staircase was ready to fall
We were still waiting downstairs in the hall
Well, watch out for big mama, she'll set you on fire
Or go for your neck with the chicken wire
When you've begun to think like a gun
The rest of the year has already gone
When you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone
Mother of plenty, mother of none
You've got me cornered I'm still on the run
I don't care nothing about you anyway
Stuck in this hole I'm well on my way
When you've begun to think like a gun
The rest of the year has already gone
When you've begun to think like a gun

Sometimes I Wish I Had A Gun
Cause I Don't Wanna Have To Talk To Dem – Talk To Dem
Don't Get Me Wrong I Know It's Wrong
But I Don't Wanna Have To Talk To Dem – Talk To Dem

Put Me Down In Front Of Everyone
Wish I Had That Big Fat And Heavy One
Oh Make Me Wipe Out A Taxi Man
Cause God Him No Understand

Sometimes I Wish I Had A Gun
Cause I Don't Wanna Have To Talk To Dem – Talk To Dem
Don't Get Me Wrong I Know It's Wrong

[Verse:]
It Was A Beautiful Day
Up To The Point That You Came My Way
Right Now There Ain't No More To Say
Words Couldn't Communicate
What I Feel In Me
A Fuse Just Blew In My Head
This Vacuum In My Belly Feels Heavy Like Led
Yau Hush Hush Hush Hush Jau
“you're Bigger Than Thatä
...Guess You're Right But I Wish I Had Click
To Stick To His Neck
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
That's How I Feel I Hope You Feel My Way [x2]
I Hope That That's Ok [X4]
That's How I Feel I Hope You Feel No Way
I Hope That That's Ok
[Verse:]
Wrong Place Wrong Time
You Don't Believe In God
But You Would Believe In A Nine
Why Can't You Just Be Cool Sometimes?
Keep Your Hate To Yourself
And We'd Be Fine
I was alone and frightened
Until you came along
I was afraid of everyone
You showed me I was wrong
You came into my life
And helped me take a stand
I feel so whole inside now
Come and take my hand
You belong to me
You can never leave
I'll show you off to my friends
You see they're so impressed
Together we must look so cool
I bet they never guessed
That I could be someone
And with you by my side
Anyone who disrespects
Has got no place to hide
Favorite toy
I am happy now
I know you're happy, too
Every guy around my neighborhood
Wishes he had you
Nobody stare at me
Don't they know who I am?
We'll take that smile right off his face
Brother man nowadays livin' in the ghetto
Where the dangers sure enough real.
Well when he's out late at night,
and if he's got his head on right,
Well, I lay you 9 to 5 he's walking with steel.
Brother Man says he's 'fraid of gangsters
Messing with people just for fun
He don't want to be next.
He got a family to protect.
So just last week he bought himself a gun.
Everybody got a pistol, everybody got a .45
And the philosophy seem to be,
At least as near as I can see,
When other folks give up theirs, I'll give up mine.
This is a violent civilization;
If civilization's where I am.
Every channel that I stop on
Got a different kind of cop on
Killing them by the million for Uncle Sam.
Saturday night just ain't that special.
Yeah, I got the constitution on the run.
'Cause even though we've got the right
To defend our home, to defend our life,
Got to understand to get it in hand about the guns.
Everybody's got a pistol. Everybody got a .45.
The philosophy seems to be,
At least as near as I can see,
When other folks give up, I, I'll give up...
Saturday night just ain't that special.
Freedom to be afraid is all you want.
Yes if you don't want to be next.
You've got a family to protect.
9 out of 10, you've got a friend, you've got a gun.
Everybody got a pistol. Everybody got a .45.
And the philosophy seems to be,
At least as near as I can see,
When other folks give up theirs, I'll give up mine.
Everybody got a pistol, this mosty be the NRA
Yeah 'cause when it's time to line up
You know damn well they're gonna shine up
Everybody...
And the philosophy seem to be
At least as near as I can see,
Falling out the window
Tripping on a wrinkle in the rug
Falling out of love, dear
It hurt much worse when you gave up
Just don't tell me which way I oughta run
Or what good I could do anyone
'Cause my heart, it was a gun
But it's unloaded now so don't bother
Climbing up the ladder
Breaking my shin on the very first rung
Waking up the neighbors
It's all right, they understand they're just as dumb
And they don't tell me which way I oughta run
Or what good I could do anyone
'Cause my heart, it was a gun
But it's unloaded now, so don't bother me now, don't bother
Crawling back to you now
I sold my guitar to the girl next door
She asked me if I knew how
I told her "I don't think so anymore"
Don't tell me which way I oughta run
What good could I do anyone
'Cause my heart, it was a gun
Every day I see you looking in.
I'll be the smoothest thing to touch your skin.
You're longing to be loved but you're alone,
And your longing makes you shiver to the bone.
I know your mamma told you nothing of importance.
No, your daddy taught you nothing you could learn.
You've had your sisters weighing on your pockets,
And your priest he tries so hard to get you turned.
Maybe you've been living lonely.
While your woman has a fellow on the side.
Your kids keep telling jokes that ain't that funny.
And you've failed in everything that comes to mind.
Now you see I'm only here to let you know,
That I love you and I'll never let you go.
So take me in the hand, don't walk on by,
For the life this has to offer twists inside.
Now your woman has a fellow in your bed.
You have to go, you have to move right in.
And the ring on your finger would leave another scar.
But the joke's on her, she hasn't seen it all!
So you shot him up close and you shot him in the face.
And your woman looked on and your children they embraced.
And the candle's still burning and the fire's roaring fire.
You moved right in, yeah you moved right in...
Stop your shaking, sweating, whining and regretting.
You're making a scene that is going to get you caught.
Hey look me in the barrell and tell me that you love me.
Your friends will say
It's self defense
With no hope of recompense
And anyway it makes no sense
The way you hurt me baby
You always turn the other cheek
Always acted mild and meek
Ya always played me for a geek
The way you dressed to kill
Why don't just get a gun and shoot it
Why don't you just get a gun
Why don't you just get a gun
And shoot it through this heart of mine
Through this heart of mine
You tried to stretch me on the rack
I saw you laughing when I cracked
You broke my will you broke my back
On the wheel of uncertainty
You tried to push me to the edge
You wouldn't listen when I begged
Why don't you push me off the ledge
It's just torture baby
Why don't just get a gun and shoot it
Why don't you just get a gun
Why don't you just get a gun
And shoot it through this heart of mine
Through this heart of mine
Through this heart of mine
Through this heart of mine
Why don't you just buy a gun
Why don't you just buy a gun and shoot it
Why don't you just buy a gun
Your friends will say it's self defense
They say it's cheap and no expense
Why don't you just get a gun and use it
Why don't you just get a gun
Why don't you just get a gun
And shoot it through this heart of mine
Through this heart of mine
"The human hearts that I have taken into hell"
"Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby"
"I didn't hit nobody without no provocation,
I mean, I didn't say nothing to the man,
I didn't pull out no gun and tell him that I was gonna
do this to him and shoot him. And he just shoots at me,
thats was a perfectly radical group right there if you ask me"
"Frontline!"
"American"
March to the rhythm
Fists in the air
Statues torn down
Burning flags everywhere
Atrocity starts now
The weapons parade
A nation in turmoil
Reflected by hate
Believe
Believe in the fight
Believe
Believe in the right
A paradox of discipline
Only the strong will win
Kneel to the man
Who's pointing the gun
A victory
Or nothing at all
"Quantum moves"
Discipline
Discipline
"Listen to me, or we'll all be killed"
Move ahead
Move ahead
"American"
"Corruptor of justice and innocence and youth"
A paradox of discipline
Only the strong will win
Kneel to the man
Who's pointing the gun
A victory
Or nothing at all
Victory
The State must fall
"Sworn enemy of all the human race"
Guns in the desk ??
Said I don't wanna talk to people outta my hands
Gun was on the floor I had a healthy mind
Now I'm in the sixteenth [pre]cinct tonight
I wanna gun
Give me a gun
To see your fear
And watch you run
Well you think you're cool
And make us look like fools
With your stupid-ass bullshit
And your macho rules
But turn it around
And point the thing at you
You might have a ??
Or something too I wanna gun
Give me a gun
To see your fear
And watch you run
Guns in the desk ??
Said I don't wanna talk to people outta my hands
Gun was on the floor I had a healthy mind
Now I'm in the sixteenth [pre]cinct tonight
You've got to find yourself a place to stay anyway
'Cause I ain't stayin' 'round, around anymore, no way
Now you'd better leave 'cause I'm, I'm gonna find
Myself another
Take that gun blow your mind
Take that gun go ahead and make my day
You got to find another piece of wax anyway
'Cause I think it's over now, it, it melted down
Just the other day
Take that gun blow your mind
Take that gun go ahead and make my day
Take that gun blow your mind

Crawling back to you now
I sold my guitar to the girl next door
She asked me if I knew how
I told her I don't think so anymore
CHORUS:
Don't tell me
Which way I ought to run
What good could I do anyone
Cause my heart, it was a gun
But it's unloaded now
Did the gun sit down devise a scheme in the night?
Did it drive itself to the murder site? Guns push air out but do they
breath air in?
Was it trying to commit suicide by throwing itself into the bin?
Does a gun really have a living heart and a soul? Can a gun really exercise
self-control? Will its name be written in G-ds scroll at death will it go
to heaven or will it go down to Sheol?
I think it is good if you own something with a muzzle. Are we civilized?
Yet we live in a concrete jungle. There are not many animals some men are
beasts.
My friend listen who wants to end up in the morgue end up deceased.
wake up, purify
all I want is to get through the day
same scene, everywhere
growing tired of the desperate rate
if I knew then
you were here
all alone
feeling low
in a state of release
if I knew now
how to learn from the past
I would be who I wanted to be
hard rain, falling down from above
there’s no need to complain
we fall just as hard
to the ground each and every day
if I knew now
it would be
you and I
here alone
I would break down and cry
and if knew then
as a child
so naive
everything I have learned the hard way
real cold
shivering
I don’t know if it’s life or the air
the worst part of it all
(Steel)
A bunch of withered roses lie, a faded silhouette
Caught you jumpin' in the deep end last night, but it hasn't happened yet.
They're tying up your body with some rusty Number 8 and they say,
Too early with your run, son.
Too early with your run.
A bunch of worn-out ockers, the local magistrate,
Go down to kicking at the altar when the evening's getting late,
And the scene is much too busy, the prizes are so obviously fakes,
Too early with your run, son,
Too early with your run.
And what you doing with that gun, son,
Tell me, what you doing with that gun?
You don't believe in killing, someone's trying to kill you,
You don't actually want answers, just the odd clue,
And the timing moves to overdrive and no-one wants to get in touch with you,
Too early with your run, son,
Too early with your run.
Next time you'll take anything, you wonder if you think too much,
Hoping just for anything to readjust your senses,
No-one believes in that these days, no-one's really taking chances,
Too early with your run, son,
Too early with your run.
And what you doing with that gun, son,
Tell me, what you doing with that gun?
Yeahhh...what you doing, what you doing,
what you doing, what you doing, hey,
With that gun?
Bunch of withered roses lie, Tathra by the sea,
A four am hotel carpark, a vicious memory,
They're wrapping up your body, it's an ambulance charade,
They're telling you,
Too early with your run, son,
Too early with your run.
And what you doing with that gun, son,
Sunny days, the waves break.
Slave to what they say, on television.
The papers wrote about a man today.
He blocked the sun.
He told the people lies!
He gave them fear, and made them run.
He gave them fear and made them run.
Stories about a revolution.
Stories about a way of life.
Stories about a revolution.
Stories about a way of life has just begun!
We watch the screen.
We watch the shadow rise.
We watch the screen.
We watch the shadow rise.
Anyway the day breaks, confirmed like a handshake.
Promises man-made, broken like the early morning wakes.
We watch the screen.
We watch the shadow rise!
We watch the sun.
I'm at best when I'm a mess

Some people lie for it, some people die for it
Some people risk their lives and do time for it
Love childs gone wild
Come on, come on, so what do you say?
Don't be afraid of it, just take a chance on it
Watch what you say and never be a fool for it
Wrong side of the white lines
Look at the faces maybe you'll find
(In the end all we are)
Is just a face in a crowded street
(In the end all we are)
Is just a soul on the open road
(In the end all we are)
Is just a pawn in a losing game
(In the end all we are)
One world that's got money to burn
I need the truth now, I need a cure now
I need to feel you here by my side now
Right place, right time
Come on, come on, so what do you like?
I wanna find you, I wanna face you
I wanna fight the feeling inside you
Love child are you so blind?
What do you say your wasting my time
(In the end all we are)
Is just a face in a crowded street
(In the end all we are)
Is just a soul on the open road
(In the end all we are)
Is just a pawn in a losing game
(In the end all we are)
One world that's got money to burn
Tell me why you lie to yourself
Tell me why you run away
I believe in what your saying
I'm just waiting for the day
Take a look at all those people
Looking after number one
Living in the future
Living in the past
Everybody out there
(In the end all we are)
I'll give you Heaven
(In the end all we are)
I'll give you heaven
(In the end all we are)
I'll give you Heaven
(In the end all we are)
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
(In the end all we are)
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
(In the end all we are)
Read it in the paper
Nothing comes free
I don't need nobody
Praying for me
Only ever tell you
What they want you to know
Why don't you do it
Why don't you go
Don't you struggle
Don't you lie
Sell your secrets
It will be alright
Can't let this chance
Pass me by
I can see it
For the first time
I'm gonna steal your fire
When all these changes come
See them falling one by one
I'm gonna steal your fire
When all these changes come
See them falling one by one
Meet me in the middle
Listen to the sound
Everything you say
Comes back round
Why did you do it
Why did you lie
You can't escape
The feeling inside
Can't let this chance
Pass me by
Tell myself it's
Gonna be alright
I can feel it
I can hear it
I can see it
For the first time
I'm gonna steal your fire
When all these changes come
See them falling one by one
I'm gonna steal your fire
When all these changes come
See them falling one by one
Tell me that your satisfied
Tell me was it suicide
You've been living in another world
Change is coming all across this land
Are you strong enough
Are you brave enough
Was it ever enough
Have you had enough
(You better listen to me while you can)
You gotta lie down in the bed you made
(It can never be the same again)
You got laugh at all the madness
(There's nothing left I've taken everything)
Whatever's gone wrong I can make it right
(Why don't you face it you can never win)
Free myself of all the sadness
(You better listen to me while you can)
I'm sick of this world and it's greed for gold
(It can never be the same again)
I'm sick and tired of being bought and sold
(There's nothing left I've taken everything)
Life's a gamble, nothing's sure
(Why don't you face it you can never win)
I can see it for the first time
I'm gonna steal your fire
When all these changes come
See them falling one by one
I'm gonna steal your fire
When these changes come
See them falling one by one
I'm gonna steal your fire
I can see them falling one by one
See them falling one by one
I'm gonna steal your fire
Outside a storm is raging
Inside my faith is strong
Love came down without warning
Love walked out without saying
Can't hide my secret
Can't live this lie no more
What can you say to make me change my mind?
Sometimes she feels so empty
Sometimes she feels so scared
Can't say the things I'm thinking
Locked in a room of strangers
Can't hide that truth hurts
Can't live this lie no more
What can you say to make me change my mind?
Freedom comes like a brand new day
Freedom lies in the words you say
Freedom waits when I'm by your side
Freedom lives when I'm close to you
When I'm close to you
When I'm close to you
Freedom comes to you and all I want is
Freedom freedom freedom freedom
Freedom freedom freedom freedom
Yeah yeah yeah
Why does she feel so empty?
Why does she feel so scared?
Why do the stars come crashing?
When will the rain stop falling?
Can't face the past now
Can't live this lie no more
Here comes my chance to leave it all behind
Freedom comes like a brand new day
Freedom lies in the words you say
Freedom waits when I'm by your side
Freedom lives when I'm close to you
When I'm close to you
When I'm close to you
Freedom comes to you and all I want is
Freedom freedom freedom freedom
Freedom freedom freedom freedom
Freedom comes
Freedom waits
Freedom lives
Freedom lies
Freedom comes
Freedom waits
Freedom lives
I'm burning bridges, time to leave it all behind
Sometimes you have to be so cruel to be so kind
All the wasted days
All the times you lied
I hear the voices as you hang your head in shame
No time to question why with everything to gain
All the sleepless nights
All the times I tried
I tried
And we all live with the changes
There's Heaven for the chosen few, yeah
If we all just think it over we can work it out
All that's yours will soon be mine
Don't make me cross that line
I won't back down
I'll keep it together
(You got what you wanted from me)
(You got what you need)
I won't back down
It's never the same
(You got what you wanted from me)
(You got what you need)
Shades of a broken man who's heart's been doing time
See what you want to see and say what's on your mind
Let the lights go down
Let the change begin
Let the change begin
It's the same old situation
Heaven for the chosen few
If we all just think it over we can work it out
All that's yours will soon be mine
How could you be so blind
I won't back down
I'll keep it together
(You got what you wanted from me)
(You got what you need)
I won't back down
It's never the same
(You got what you wanted from me)
(You got what you need)
Look around you, leave it all behind
Look around you, can't you see I won't back down this time?
If I can learn this time from things I've said and done
I'm gonna stand my ground and fight you till I've won
Nothing you can say
Just let it be
Can you hear what I'm saying
You never will so why don't you set me free
I won't back down
I'll keep it together
(You got what you wanted from me)
(You got what you need)
I won't back down
It's never the same
(You got what you wanted from me)
It's never the same
(You got what you need)
(I won't back down)
You got what you want from me
(You got what you wanted from me)
(You got what you need)
(I won't back down)
Everything you say and do
It's never the same
(You got what you wanted from me)
Someday it comes back on you
(You got what you need)
I won't back down
Everything is wonderful
Meeting like strangers
Losing all direction
Giving him a good time
Crying on his shoulder
Growing up the hard way
There's two sides to everyone
Sentimental strangers
There's rhythm in her dancing feet
Sleeping in the city streets
Crying in the rain
Got no shame
Got no shame
Looking for a good time
Everybody wants one
A land of sunshine
Wild child is on the run
Giving him direction
Crying in the rain
Acting like the crazy one
Run down and helpless
Two sides to every story
Dancing in the sky
Everybody loves a winner
And I don't know why
You got no shame
Got no shame
Shame on you
Shame on you
I gave you time
Acting like the crazy one
Don't you think it's wild
She's dancing in the city streets
Dancing like a child
Everybody loves a winner
Everybody knows
When everything is wonderful
Your smiling to your toes
I'll send you all a postcard
Moonlight and stars
You're heading for a breakdown
I wonder where you are
You're dancing in the city streets
Merry Christmas son
I heard it from a close friend
That I'm the only one
You got no shame
You got no shame
Shame on you you you
You say it just scares you when look around
Things never ever had to be this way
Sometimes when I look at friends, I just see myself
Now leaving is the price I have to pay
Wish me well
You know I've gotta go
You know I've gotta go
I've done my time
Living without freedom within
And I'm torn and divided inside
Nothing left to give
Nothing left to lose
And it's time I've decided to say goodbye
You say you can never tell what tomorrow brings
But I've been there and I've walked that road before
Things can change and I look back at the memories
As the night falls, another dream just slips away
I can't stay here
Watching the world go by
Watching the world go by
I've done my time
Living without freedom within
And I'm torn and divided inside
Nothing left to give
Nothing left to lose
And it's time I decided to say goodbye
Say goodbye
Born to live till the day we die
People talk, tell me who decides
Days just pass you by
Life will pass you by
Had enough of the same old scent
Same old faces
Same old dreams
And I watch my world go by
Let me go
Somebody help me
Can't stay here
Watching the world go by
Watching the world go by
I've done my time
Living without freedom within
And I'm torn and divided inside
Nothing left to give
Nothing left to lose
And it's time I've decided to say goodbye
Living without freedom within
Watching the world go by
And I'm torn and divided inside
Watching the world go by
Nothing left to give
Nothing left to lose
Memories of failure and feeling like the fool on the
hill, say you will
As I stare into the distance heading down the road it
seems so far, to where you are
And I’ve given all I had to give, gave it all to you,
ahh…
And now I got myself believing that I’m not the only one
Meet me at the ocean where sunrise meets the day, I’ll be
there, I’ll be there
As I drive another border closer to the place where I
belong, where I belong
And it’s easier to walk away from what I have to say,
ahh…
Because I’m not the only reason and I’m not the only one
I almost had my heart believing that I’m not the only
one…
So many times I thought of leaving but I’m not the only
I almost had myself believing that I’m not the only one
And so it’s too late now for reason ‘cause I’m not the
only one
When words they mean nothing
And everything you say is wrong
You tell me your happy
Turn around and I'll be gone
You think about leaving
Leaving when the going's good
You think about heaven
And everything it means to you
And I gave you hope
And I showed you life
Now you search for love
In this world tonight
And you run
And you hide
There's a fire
In your eyes
And I say life
Is like a long road
With open arms
We walk this long road
Precious little angel
Promises are made
The door is lying open
Here I go again
And I gave you hope
And I gave you love
Now the change has come
Are you strong enough
And you run
And you hide
There's a fire
In your eyes
And I say life (Angel)
Is like a long road
With open arms (Angel)
We walk this long road
Bring me shelter
Bring me truth
You can turn it all around
Break this silence
Break this pain
Help me turn it all around
Am I talking to myself
And I wait
Night and day
I've seen love
Turn to hate
Nothing's changed
Looking back
Is it so wrong to want what we can never have
I say life (Angel)
Is like a long road
To reach so high (Angel)
We bow down so low
Precious little Angel
Promises are made
The door is lying open
Here I go again, again, again
I say life (Angel)
And I say life (Angel)
And I say life (Angel) Is like a long road
And I say life (Angel)
And I say life (Angel)
You make me wanna rise, you make me wonder why
No-one can hold your hand
We've lost our self control, we've got no way to go
You'll never take our pride
Ohh Ohh Ohh I won't stand in line
I said Ohh Ohh Ohh I won't stand in line
You built this world of lies, you made us sacrifice
You tried to bring me down
You cause this pain inside, I know you've got no right
You tried to rule my life
CHORUS:
Ohh Ohh Ohh I won't stand in line
(I could never look up to nobody like you no)
I said Ohh Ohh Ohh I won't stand in line
(And I'm doing alright so get out of my life)
I said Ohh Ohh Ohh I won't stand in line
Can you see, can you see
That I'm everything you'll never be
Could you come back, come back, come back
CHORUS:
Ohh Ohh Ohh I won't stand in line
Never thought of looking up to nobody like you
I said Ohh Ohh Ohh I won't stand in line
Can you see, can you see
That I'm everything you'll never be
Sometimes I get so blind
Sometimes I sacrifice
Sometimes I take that chance
It makes me wonder why
You got to take a chance
You cause the pain inside
I only want what's mine
You built this world of lies
You made me sacrifice
So many questions I don't really know the answers
Too many secrets I just wanna know the truth
There is talk on the street asking why are we here today
I hear a sound and I can feel the light surround me
Call and I'll be there now that change is on the way
So I'm dead on my feet I was born to believe
Say the words I wanna hear
And you run, run helpless
When are you gonna come round?
This is the last time
This is the last time
Living on borrowed time
Where do we turn when they say black is white
Are we the victims when they cover up the lies
There are so many things that I don't understand anymore
We live and learn in the dark of night
Are we to blame it's a struggle to survive
So we all make mistakes there are no guarantees
Just say the things I wanna hear
And you run, run helpless
When are you gonna come round?
This is the last time
This is the last time
And you run, run helpless
When are you gonna come round?
This is the last time
This is the last time
Living on borrowed time
And you run, run helpless
When are you gonna come round?
This is the last time
This is the last time
And you run, run helpless
When are you gonna come round?
This is the last time
This is the last time
You're holding out your hand, are you falling?
You're talking to yourself, nobody's there
There's a burning in your heart like a hunger
There's something on your mind, nobody cares
When you feel that life is dragging you down day by day
You've gotta break away
You're taking on the world
Taking on the world (And I swear they'll never break me)
Taking on the world
Precious time, do we know what we're fighting for
Taking time, so we don't make the same mistakes again
Take a look on the other side
Look at what we will leave behind
When you feel that love is dragging you down day by day
You've gotta break way
You're taking on the world
Taking on the world (and I swear they'll never take me)
Taking on the world
Taking on the world (and I swear they'll never break me)
Taking on the world
Taking on the world
What's love is it wild sorrow?
Brave face, is your heart breaking?
Who cares when you cry freedom?
It's the right place for the right reasons
You're taking on the world
Taking on the world (and I swear they'll never take me)
Taking on the world
Taking on the world (and I swear they'll never break me)
Taking on the world (they'll never take me)
Taking on the world (they'll never change me)
You're taking on the world
Taking on the world
Taking on the world
Did you ever stop and wonder
Why do somethings never change?
When you left me without reason
Did you lie to yourself again?
If your past comes back to hurt you
Tell me where does that leave me?
Feel like someone locked my heart up
And you threw away the key
And I say hold on hold on
Why can't we see it through
Cos baby, baby what do you have to lose
And I say tell me, tell me
What do I have to do
Cos baby, baby, I'm crying over you
If you give me the chance to tell you
Could you trust me like before?
In your eyes there's a new horizon
Telling me that it's time to go
It's a no win situation
We don't want what we left behind
Can we move in the same direction?
I'll be there if you change your mind
And I say hold on hold on
Our love can see us through
Cos Baby tell me what does it mean to you
And I say it's alright, alright
It's time now to face the truth
Cos baby, maybe, I'm crying over you
So god give me the strength to go through it again
Cause I, I wanna be her lover
But the more I know, the more I fear I'm like so many others
And the hardest part is when you lose your heart
To a second hand emotion
Now it's easy to see with every breath I breathe
That I'm crying over you
CHORUS:
And I say somehow, someday I'm trying to get through to you Cos baby, baby, what do I have to lose
And I say hold on, hold on why can't we see it through
‘Cos baby, maybe, I'm crying over you
And I say hold on hold on
What do I have to lose
So you walk away from an open door
With no sympathy from a man who knows
Somebody's lost somebody cries
Where were you standing, how could you fall for all the lies?
Looking back in time do you see the truth?
It's so easy to find
Somebody's weak somebody's strong, thought that I'd stumble
You got it all wrong
Look back in anger look back in shame
Somebody told you somebody's losing out again
Inside outside love
Inside outside love
All the feelings gone, you're just a face in the crowd
And I wonder why, you don't walk so proud
Somebody's lost, somebody's found
I'll watch you climb up only to fall down
I see a stranger that I used to know
Look to the future, somebody's seen it all before
Inside outside love
Inside outside love(can you save your soul tonight?)
Inside outside love(you don't realise what you've got till it's gone)
Inside outside love(you can tell the world)
Was the truth applied, where you criticised?
Did you lose your pride, were you dignified?
Did your hopes slide, was it worldwide?
Were you satisfied, are you qualified?
Did your heart decide, you can never hide?
Are you outside love
Are you outside love
Are you outside love
Are you outside love
Were you critcised, was the truth applied?
Was it worldwide, did you lose your pride?
Were you dignified, did your hopes slide?
Are you satisfied, were you qualified?
You don't walk so proud
Just a face in the crowd
You don't talk so loud
After all these years
Can you see through the tears?
There's nothing you can do
To save your soul tonight
To save your soul tonight
How does it feel?
In through the out door
Heads turn and I'm stuck for words
You can't control your emotions
Baby that's tough
Maybe it means nothing at all
Baby you'll be there when I fall
They're just girls in love
In my eyes they can do no wrong
They're just girls in love
And right by my side is where they belong
You say you trust me and you'll never leave
That's good
Caught in the middle
One slip and I'm in the bad books
It goes on and on and on and on and on
Maybe it means nothing at all
Baby you'll be there when I fall
They're just girls in love
In my eyes they can do no wrong
They're just girls in love
And right by my side is where they belong
They're just girls in love
You better believe they can do no wrong
They're just girls in love
What can you do with girls in love?
What can you do?
It comes down to you
Let's groove
They're just girls in love
In my eyes they can do no wrong
They're just girls in love
And right by my side is where they belong
They're just girls in love
You better believe they can do no wrong
They're just girls in love
Hard rain falls on a cold night
Four walls closing in
Stand and stare at the future
Outside looking in
Don't know who to turn to
Don't know what to do
Nothing ever changes
All my reds are turning blue
I see it on the streets, I read it in the news
I get this feeling maybe I'm being used
But I got all this time on my side
There's no looking back
Welcome to the real world
And I got all this time on my side
There's no looking back
Welcome to the real world
Fire burns bright in the distance
Don't know who to trust
Stars fall down like a message
Sent from heaven above
I see poor men left with nothing
Rich men wanting more
And I ask myself a question
I say what are we living for now
I know the faces, and I know the names
Know the cost of losing girl, but I play the game
Cause I got all this time on my side
There's no looking back
Welcome to the real world
Cause I got all this time on my side
There's no looking back
Welcome to the real world
I'm hanging on to promises
That I know can never be
Pray for those I left behind
But do they pray for me
I'm more than just a number
I've been working like a slave
We live and then we die
From the cradle to the grave
But I've got all this time on my side
There's no looking back
Welcome to the real world
Cause I got all this time on my side
There's no looking back
Welcome to the real world
Yeah I got all this time on my side
There's no looking back
Never going back
Never going back
Never going back
Cause I got all this time on my side
There's no looking back
Black Mark against my name
Face to face it's a crying shame
It's cutting me in two, my soul divided
It's too late to learn, don't be fooled, don't pretend
Step back at the slightest sound
Screaming in my head, I hear voices
Look at me, look in my eyes,
I can't break these chains and hide
You don't know what silence means (you can pray for me)
You don't know about shattered dream
You don't know that I can't run (you can set me free)
Set me free from the feeling within
What's lost, nothing's gained
Eye to eye in the city rain
I'm fighting in a war I can never ever win
The pain that pleasure brings leaves you cold, skin on skin
Don't speak, don't breathe a word
I'm beggin on my knees, one intention
Look at me, look in my eyes,
I can't break these chains and hide
You don't know what silence means (you can pray for me)
You don't know about shattered dream
You don't know that I can't run (you can set me free)
Set me free from the feeling within
Set me free
Believe in me, set me free
Look at me, look in my eyes,
I can't break these chains and hide
You don't know what silence means (you can pray for me)
You don't know about shattered dream
You don't know that I can't run (you can set me free)
Set me free from the feeling within
Set me free from the feeling within
(you can set me free)
Set me free from the feeling within
Set me free, I can't run no more
(you can set me free)
Set me free, set me free
Oh crazy you, what am I supoused to do?
Heaven knows I tried to change you
But you just keep getting stranger
I say
Oh crazy you, what the hell's got air to you?
While you're trying to impress me
With your plastic fleer ingectors
Crazy you
I'm driving in my car
Every light I see is a star
And it makes me feel so happy, what's wrong?
I'm rebeled in sway in time
And the street light's calling my name
And the goldfish keep on singing king kong
Oh crazy you, where's the life that we once knew?
With your anger and your madness
All your laugh reveils your sadness
I say
Oh crazy you was it all a game to you?
All the friends you left behind you
They're all still there to remind you
Crazy you
Don't beg me
I don't want to
I don't want to
Oh crazy you, what am I supoused to do?
Heaven knows I tried to change you
But you just keep getting stranger
I say
Oh crazy you, where's the life that we once knew?
While the wrold outside is madness
We can drive away the sadness
Crazy you...
I thought that I knew you
But now I see right through you
Don't beg me, I don't want to
Don't beg me, do what you do
I thought that I knew you
But now I see right through you
Don't beg me, I don't want to
Don't beg me, do what you do
I thought that I knew you
But now I see right through you
Don't beg me, I don't want to
Don't beg me, do what you do
I thought that I knew you
But now I see right through you
Don't beg me, I don't want to
I've been searching all my life
I've waited for so long
When it came down to you and me
Now I find that I was wrong
I see the changes in your eyes
Where's the magic in your smile
There's no way I'm gonna let it die
You know I'll crawl for a thousand miles yeh
If we don't know by now
We could be losing everything
Please don't say it's over
And if our love should fall from grace
Please don't say it's over
We can't see eye to eye
Like the way we used to do
When it's all been said and done
Still a candle burns for you
Forget about the things we said
It don't matter right or wrong
Sometimes well you just don't know
What you've got until it's gone yeh
I would give it all
I would do most anything
Please don't say it's over
If we don't know by now
Then it's too late
Just don't say it's over
Don't say it's over
All I want is to be near you
All I am is what you see
All I know tell me can you hear me
You're all I need yeh yeh yeh
If we don't know by now
We could be losing everything
Please don't say it's over
And if our love should fall from grace
Just don't say it's over
I would give it all
I would do most anything
Just don't say it's over
If we don't know by now
Then it's too late
Just don't say it's over
Woman it's a wild life slow down
Heaven is just a kiss away, bright lights
Shining from above, cover me with love
Angel, angel, she's falling from above
I need you like I need a drug
I want you to be there
I will be waiting
Come out of the shadows
I will be waiting
This is your chance
No regrets this time
Leave the past behind
Take a walk with me
If I lose faith, will you give me shelter?
Cover me with love, shining from above
There's a place I know
And it's a lonely road
I will be waiting
Come out of the shadows
I will be waiting
This is your chance
No regrets this time
Leave the past behind
Take a walk with me
Don't be cruel, don't be blind
Don't be fooled, left behind
Precious life, torn in two
Say the word it's down to you
See the light (Don't be cruel, don't be blind)
See the light (Don't be fooled, left behind)
See the light (Precious life, torn in two)
See the light (Say the word it's down to you)
I will be waiting
I will be waiting
I will be waiting
Always be waiting
Cant let you go
It's a lonely road
Can't let you go
See the white light, it was never meant to last
You cry like a child, forget about the past
Hanging on to promises, hanging on to dreams
Stop and ask yourself is there more than what there seems?
If I could, you know I would
Reach out for love
If I could, you know I would
Reach out for love
Talk about life, can it ever be the same?
If love is a drug, then your sorrow is your pain
Music on the radio, maybe I'm a fool
Tell me what you need, cos I'm try to get to you
If I could, you know I would
Reach out for love
If I could, you know I would
You've got to reach out, free your mind
You've got to leave those fools behind
You've got to want it, need it, feel it, take it, breath it
If you wanna get out of here alive
One more time, one more try
So take what you can from this wild, wild life yeah
Stop the world and make it work, time is on your side
I believe in you, so if you wanna get out of here alive
If I could, you know I would
Reach out for love
If I could, you know I would
You've got to reach out, free your mind
You've got to leave those fools behind
You've got to want it, need it, feel it, take it, breath it
You've got to reach out, free your mind
You've got to leave those fools behind
You've got to want it, need it, feel it, take it, breath it
If you wanna get out of here alive
You've got to reach out, free your mind
(If you wanna get out of here alive)
You've got to leave those, fools behind
You've got to want it, need it, feel it, take it, breath it
You've got to reach out, free your mind
You've got to leave those fools behind
You'll never find the truth cause you don't wonna know
Reality is not a dream, it's an effect mode
And if I told you what I thought about the system
I'd be banned from being played by using vulgarism
I don't wanna be somebody like you
Wanna be somebody new, not like you a statue
You make me sick with your hypocrite mind
And I know you can see but I still think you're going blind
Welcome people, recharge, repay
Backward, braindead, blinded, blockhead
Sterile, futile, hostile, lifestyle
Why can't you be someone worthwhile
Avarice, the spur of the industry
Causing so many people the never ending misery
Now people, it's time to wake up
And start believing that you're someone not a number
You've got to learn to understand you're not braindead
You have the power to show that you're not affected
And if you try to maintain your superiority
Then you know that you've broken their credibility
Welcome people, recharge, repay
Backward, braindead, blinded, blockhead
Sterile, futile, hostile, lifestyle
Why can't you be someone worthwhile
Power the ultimate aphrodisiac
Wanted by the greedy-eyed maniac
Autocrat turning up the thermostat
Burning everybody's eyes so they can't counteract
Wash the car, go to bed, sleep well
Welcome people, recharge, repay
Backward, braindead, blinded, blockhead
Sterile, futile, hostile, lifestyle
Why can't you be someone worthwhile
Welcome people, recharge, repay
Backward, braindead, blinded, blockhead
Sterile, futile, hostile, lifestyle
Living it up all night
If you're in it for the money that's alright

Just like you and me everybody wants to be
Just like you and me everybody wants to be
But it's all for the love of money
Talking bout the love of money
It's alright
GUN – Better Days
Yeah I heard about the trouble last night on the radio
Seeing is believing, now tell me do you like what you see
Cos I've been holding on to promises now yeah for too many years
It's happening all over the world to people like you and me
Things could be heaven but this feels like hell
So hold your head high cos you know I'd die
For better days
Read a story in the paper last night people living in fear
It's easy saying nothing it's easy just to watch things fall
But I was taught that there's a time in your life
When you've got to stand proud
So tell me don't you think that it's time we put an end to it all
Things could be heaven but this feels like hell
So hold your head high cause you know I'd die
For better days
Things could be heaven but this feels like hell
So hold your head high cause you know I'd die
For better days
Everybody dreams like me and you
Everybody do what you have to do
Where you gonna turn when it all goes wrong
Living in the same scene way too long
Everybody hopes that on of theses day
Everything you want's gonna come your way
Everybody knows what they have to do
Everybody dreams like me and you
Things could be heaven but this feels like hell
So hold your head high cause you know I'd die
For better days
(For better days)
Things could be heaven but this feels like hell
So hold your head high cause you know I'd die
For better days
You'd better run, you'd better run
You'd better run from the devil's gun
The race is on, the race is on
Now you'd better run from the devil's gun
Strange things happen if you stay
The devil will catch you anyway
He'll seek you here, he'll seek you there
The devil will seek you everywhere
And when he finds you, you'll soon find out
The devil's fire just won't go out
He burns you up from head to toe
You've got to find yourself a place to stay anyway
'Cause I ain't stayin' around anymore, no way
Now you'd better leave
Cause I I'm gonna find
Myself another
Take that gun blow your mind take that gun
Go ahead and make my day
You got to find another piece of wax anyway
'Cause I think it's over now it melted down
Just the other day
Take that gun blow your mind take that gun
Go ahead and make my day
Life I dont see the meaning now
Love Ive lost all the feeling for
Time won't wait to work out why
I'm losing this fight in a private war
Empty life is a warning sign
Locked away where the sun don't shine
Can't get any lower
Cos I've been down before
And this time no one told me
I can't get any lower
Emotions weak like my defences
And I'm a broken man who just can't try
Only you can pull me up and be my lifeline
Cos I feel I just wanna lay down and die
Empty life is a warning sign
Locked away where the sun don't shine
Can't get any lower
Cos I've been down before
And this time no one told me
I can't get any lower
Can't take any more
What you gonna do? What you gonna say?
Where you gonna turn, when the truth comes your way?
Can't get any lower
Cos I've been down before
And this time no one told me
I can't get any lower
Can't get any lower
Cos I've been down before (so little time)
And this time no one told me (nobody told me)
I can't get any lower
Get ready
Get ready
Can't take any more
Get ready, get ready (get ready for the heartbreak)
Get ready, get ready (gonna pick my pride up off the floor)
Get ready, get ready (there's only one way to go)
When words they mean nothing and everything you say is wrong
You tell me your happy turn around and I'll be gone
You think about leaving, leaving when the going's good
You think about heaven and everything it means to you
And I gave you hope and I showed you life
Now you search for love in this world tonight
And you run, and you hide
There's a fire in your eyes
And I say life is like a long road
With open arms we walk this long road
Precious little angel promises are made
The door is lying open here I go again
And I gave you hope, and I gave you love
Now the change has come are you strong enough
And you run and you hide
There's a fire in your eyes
And I say life (Angel)is like a long road
With open arms (Angel)we walk this long road
Bring me shelter, bring me truth
You can turn it all around
Break this silence, break this pain
Help me turn it all around
Am I talking to myself?
And I wait night and day
I've seen love turn to hate
Nothing's changed, looking back
Is it so wrong to want what we can never have?
I say life (Angel) is like a long road
To reach so high (Angel)we bow down so low
Precious little Angel, promises are made
The door is lying open here I go again, again, again
I say life (Angel)
And I say life (Angel)
And I say life (Angel) Is like a long road
And I say life (Angel)
And I say life (Angel)
I was thinking ‘bout the time
When we were young, swimming against the tide
Was I blind cause all I saw
Was the future in your eyes
Now those days are over and nothing's as it seems
Reality has changed our lives
Taken away our dreams
I was talking to myself
Lying that things would work out right
Make your choice – sink or swim
In the river of life tonight
Cos all I need to feel right now is rain against my skin
I've been waiting in the desert for my ship to come in
So give me one reason why we're not together
If I had one reason I would feel so much better
I guess that you're leaving has left me with nothing
I was touched by your honesty but now I'm forgotten
Now I'm living in a daze
Trying hard to laugh in the face of love
When we're born we learn to live
With what we can't rise above
Cars go by, days drag on
It's like some kind of gravity that's pulling me under
So give me one reason why you're screaming in silence
Just give me one reason why the whole world is laughing
And now we're all together, liars and lovers
I was shocked by the things you said
But now I've recovered
I'm doing fine without you
Let all this guilt be on your head
Never thought I would see you go
Never thought you would go so slow
When you're down at the bottom
There's really only one way left
Just the memory of what you never head
So give me one reason welcome to heaven
Why don't start believing life is forever
I guess that fate told me you were there for the taking
All you get is one chance in life and then you're forgotten
Just give me one reason why you're right out of fashion
And now your heart's calling for what I have to offer
And there is no denying you had something so special
But you threw it back in my face and now you're forgotten
I've had enough and I heard you say life is forever
Crack city lover, she moves like a dancer
She'll slip through your fingers, and kill you like cancer
It pains me to hurt you and hurts me to leave you
I work ‘til my back breaks, it's more than I can take
She's deep as an ocean, closer than brothers
My fallen angel, she leaves herself open
It's all an illusion, this world of confusion
Just follow the river, wherever it takes you
Someone help me to find my way again
Someone help me to find my way again
Come on now baby, my lover lazy
Let's preach to the masses and bridge all the classes
A cool kind of swagger and lips like Jagger
This is a clampdown, it goes up so it comes down
In with the in crowd, and I'm thinking out loud
I hunger for you, need to be near you
Someone help me to find my way again
I gotta know now, I gotta know now,
Someone help me to find my way again
I gotta know now, I gotta know now,
Someone help me to find my way
Born to be broken, she asks no questions
I need her to function, she's, she's my religion
Inside I'm twisted and she's so gifted
A perfect creation, my dedication
Someone help me to find my way again
I gotta know now, I gotta know now,
Someone help me to find my way again
I gotta know now, I gotta know now,
Break away while the wheels are turning
Looking round there can be no doubt
All you gave me was a hard hitting headache
That is something I can do without
I don't mind if you think I'm crazy
I don't care iy you never know my name
All I want is to see you laughing
I don't wanna put you through it again
It's only a vicious heart that's making you feel so low
It's only a vicious heart that's making you feel so low
I'll be open if you meet me on the level
I don't know what you're trying to hide
I wanne live, wanna breathe, wanna function
I'm only doing what I think is right
I don't mind if you think I'm crazy
Everybody has the right to a little fame
All I need is to see you happy
I don't wanna put you through it again
It's only a vicious heart that's making you feel so low
It's only a vicious heart that's making you feel so low
Yeh it's only a vicious heart that's getting to you
Gonna drag you down wear you out, watch that river flow
It can mesmerise, tell you lies, teach you what you already know
Honey you're so vicious, don't you owe it all to me
Honey you're so vicious, easy for the world to see
It's only a vicious heart that's making you feel so low
It's only a vicious heart that's making you feel so low
You do, do what you want to
You do, do what you please
You do, do what you want to
She comes running, don't blame yourself
Don't hurt yourself don't say it's true
This city rains down on you rains down on you
I don't care about money, I'll just pray for time
There's no easy way
So if you feel like taking on the world
That's alright
We've got the night on our side
We can walk that line
I'm on my way to higher ground
Lies they build you up then bring you down
Some people just love and run
Your time has come
Can you hear what I'm saying for this time around
I've made up my mind
And if your dreams come crashing to the ground
Hide your pain
Just start all over again
On the other side
I'm on my way to higher ground
Lies they build you up then bring you down
Don't let it get you down
So as this world lies waiting let there be no sorrow tonight
I'm on my way to higher ground
(We can walk that line)
(We can pray for time)
Lies they build you up then bring you down
(We can walk that line)
(So let's pray for time)
I can't ever lose this thing I've found
(We can walk that line)
(I've made up my mind)
I'm on my way to higher ground
(Higher ground)
Higher ground
Higher ground
The time has come to turn it round
They can't touch you now
The time has come to turn it round
They can't touch you now
Higher ground
The time has come to turn it round
Higher ground
I never want to be alone
Never want to be alone without you
I never did believe in much
What if all the things I’m fearing are true
And I thought I knew you well
Maybe I don’t know as much as I think
BRIDGE:
Sometimes it makes no sense
Sometimes you just can’t tell
Sometimes it makes me wonder
CHORUS:
Seems like the more I give
The more I’m losing you
Seems like the more I have
The more I have to lose
They say in love there are no rules
Looking back it only stands in your way
And now you need someone to blame
I never thought I’d hear you talking that way
BRIDGE:
Says she believes in me
Says she can make me breathe
Sometimes it makes me wonder
CHORUS:
Seems like the more I give
The more I’m losing you
Seems like you’re here to stay
You’re only passing through
It feels like it
You talk like it
You act like it
It feels like I’m losing you
Seems like the more I give
The more I’m losing you
Says she believes in me
Says she can make me breathe
Seems like you’re here to stay
You’re only passing through
I thought I knew you well
And now I’m losing you
It feels like it
You talk like it
You act like it
It feels like I’m losing you
It seems like the more I give
O-O, Let's start the war damn sexy
O-O, And fuck what good girls may say
I say, l open a bottle in taxi
And I'm ready to be under you big time
You know I beat your gun
You know I beat your gun
You know I beat your gun
And I'll be done
You know I beat your gun
You know I beat your gun
You know I beat your gun
And I'll be done
And I'll be done
O-O, I wanna fight with you so bad
O-O, And break my hand on your ass
I say, throw me on the dancefloor like on the bed
And I'm ready to be under you big time
You know I beat your gun
You know I beat your gun
You know I beat your gun
And I'll be done
And I'll be done
You know I beat your gun
You know I beat your gun
You know I beat your gun
And I'll be done
You know I beat your gun
You know I beat your gun
You know I beat your gun
And I'll be done
