I'm not the same as I was when I was young
and neither are you
There's been a lot of changes in the both of us,
you said you see that 2
I've wasted such a lot of time to find I was
looking at the wrong things
If its an apology you're waiting for , you could
wait a long TIME
I've wasted such a long time
just to feel like a Zero
Life really sucks ya know when ya
yeah feel like a Zero
I've wasted such a long time too
just to feel like a Zero
You're not the only one who's held me in
You said I broke your heart
It would've been the the other way around when I was young
but sooner or later we've all got to
grow up
I dont know if I should tell you how I'm feeling
chances are you're laughing at me
and tell me that I dont know
What I'm saying
.....It's not my fault
War for profit can nothing stop it
punish those unloyal war for oil
we dominate we obliterate
world economics and other countries
U.S. policy hands in everything
our intervention ends in destruction
collateral damage the pack is rabid
foaming at the mouth awaiting the feast
[Chorus:]
Your Silence [2x]
Equals your death
War for peace it doesn't fool me
the guise of freedom blindly leading them
foolish sense of pride for the rich you die
media whitewash blood is the cost
the innocent dead use your fucking head
Protest and survive don't believe their lies
A million reasons to believe 'em
A million reasons A million reasons
[Chorus]
Equals Your Death [8x]
You said politics don't concern me and that's
just fine so sing along to the radio's love song
and when they reinstate the draft you'll be the
first to go you're 23 so when you're in Iraq
staring into the eyes of the man who's the enemy
with skud missles streaming over your head remember
when you said "Politics don't concern me"
what you gonna do it's either gonna be him or
you what you gonna do you're just a pawn you're
just a tool what you gonna do gonna die at the
age of 23 what you gonna do still say
"It Doesn't Concern me"
The world is spinning out of control [3x]
It's all about money [4x]
[Chorus]
Friendships bloom but everything dies
Seasons change its all part of life
A storm is coming in I can see in your eyes
And we just don't agree we can't compromise
Don't try to make me - Don't try to break me
Don't even try cause you just won't phase me
Don't try to reach me - It's much too late see
I hate everybody - Everybody hates me
I hate everybody - Everybody hates me
I don't buy what you're trying to sell
Guarentees more like empty promises
Smile and wave yet you don't know my name
And I know who you are I've been there before
The things that they say I can't take anymore it kills me
Don't try to make me - Don't try to break me
Don't even try cause you just won't phase me
Don't try to reach me - It's much too late see
I hate everybody - Everybody hates me
I hate everybody - Everybody hates me
We work so hard just to lose
Thats why we're building up walls to put up around us
Walk through life in a maze with no direction
No sight only hope that you'll find your way
They'll never break me down- break down
Becasue I'll never back down- stand tall
They'll never change my mind- stay strong
We'll overcome this time
Thrown away and pushed to the back
Moved aside I see where you're at
The price that they say is just too much to pay
And I don't have the means I can't find a way
I don't want to leave but it's too hard to stay it kills me
Don't try to make me - Don't try to break me
Don't even try cause you just won't phase me
Don't try to reach me - It's much too late see
I hate everybody - Everybody hates me
I hate everybody - Everybody hates me
Don't try to make me - Don't try to break me
Don't even try cause you just won't phase me
Don't try to reach me - It's much too late see
I hate everybody - Everybody hates me
I hate everybody - Everybody hates me
I hate everybody - Everybody hates me
I hate everybody - Everybody hates me
compssion is at a stand still
desensitized this day, never know
if we will make a change this way
i'm gonna try this time
can you try this time?
we're gonna try this time
don't wanna cry this time
the factories down the river
they illuminate the sky
homeless people shiver
profit is the reason why
you try to fight the symptoms
but you don't fight
the disease
in some sense, you've done something
but it is you conscience
that you please
progress, greed, their war machines
you've done
i've done
we've done nothingso desperate to say something
but it's all just empty talk
talk and talk but do nothing
while resources they exhaust
poisoned air, polluted seas
cancered bodies, burning trees
sometimes i don't understand
war, death, disease, famine
progress, greed, their war machines
you've done
i've done
we've done nothing
progress, make way, make way for
progress, make way, make way for
progress
progress-greed!
[Chorus:]
Hey you know that things can't stay the same
Hey don't be afraid to make the change [2x]
Everyone's telling you you've gotta stand tall
just stick to what you know and you'll
never fall I guess that I can say there's some truth
in what they're saying have no fear move on and
stop delaying
[Chorus]
As much as we'd like things to always stay the same
there comes a time in everyone's life when we feel
strange doing the same old things again the same
way we've gotta break away to something new we'll
do it someday
[Chorus 2x]
As time goes on everything and everyone changes
[Chorus 4x]
one track minded you
bad habits are killing you
reaching out cause you need a friend
keep coming up with the same old problems
you keep running into the same old walls
you want to climb over
but you're scared you'll fall
you're reaching out cause you need a friend
but next time i see you
will it happen again
i'm out of sympathy
i already know your promises are empty
gonna try to help you find your way
gonna try again to make you change
i don't know why itry
cause it's the same old story everytime and
now it's clear to me what you really areso quick to point the finger
for the mistakes you made
you think you've got the answers
the only thing you've got are problems
you keep telling me
you've got nothing to lose
maybe that's because you just lost it all
you want to tell me different
but that's something that i've heard before
i'm out of sympathy
i already know your promises are empty
gonna try to help you find your way
gonna try again to make you change
i don't knwo why i try
cause it's the same old story everytime
and
now it's clear to me
what you really are
hey!
Promise not to forget this day
Do you feel like this - Do you feel this way
Do you have to leave - Or can I make you stay
Say this feeling won't fade away
And I'll promise not to forget this day
I want to be the one - to be there when you drink too much
I could lend a helping hand - if you would be my crutch
I want to be the one - to hold you when you go to sleep
I want to be the one -to pick you up if you feel weak
If you feel weak
Promise not to forget this day
Do you feel like this - Do you feel this way
Do you have to leave - Or can I make you stay
Say this feeling won't fade away
And I'll promise not to forget this day
I wonder could you be - The one somehow I think you are
You're everything I think about - Whenever we're apart
I love the way - You lit a fire deep inside my soul
I love the way when you're around - You make me lose control
I lose control
I knew it from the first time that I saw - Saw you there well
I knew right from the start - You're everything I ever wanted
And you're so much more - You're everything I need
Promise not to forget this day
Do you feel like this - Do you feel this way
Do you have to leave - Or can I make you stay
Say this feeling won't fade away
And I'll promise not to forget this day
It lifts me up just to see you smile
Would you sit right there - Could you stay awhile
You could say all day- You could stay all night
If I promise you everything
Would you stay for the rest of your life
My friend Steve pissed away all his years cuz he
was slaving building cars blood and sweat upon
the gears all of his off time spent at the bar
years and years of nothing but sorrow I wonder
how can he be content fucking just to wake up
tomorrow he'll do it all over again gonna
wake up tomorrow and do it again
[Chorus:]
On the streets of Detroit on the streets
of this town all their dreams are destroyed once
you're in you can never get out
See Reggie sleeps on Jefferson Avenue on the
courthouse heat exhausts he's no different than me
or you in 1984 he got layed off a motor city dead of
we shared a joke and I gave him some change
wonder is there a hope his future I don't know I
never saw him again don't think that I'll ever see him again
[Chorus]
I'm gonna burn it down [4x]
My father put in his best year yeah working for one
of the big 3 still remember my mother's tears we're
born to die in a factory coming home at dawn early
break see he's strung out from the late night shift
pills and powder to stay awake I see his bottles are empty again
empty again prescription bottles are empty again
[Chorus 2x]
Sometimes I want to burn it down
I take a look around, I don¡¯t like what I see
A bunch of people who don¡¯t know shit about Unity
I see right through your skin, you say you see through mine
Then please explain to me why we fight all the time
I can¡¯t take it anymore, this is bothering me
Got people killing each other
Why does this have to be?
I wish I knew, I really wish I knew
How people can see there¡¯s no real difference between me and you Listen | Buy
It¡¯s a bomb with a short fuse
And I know it seems like no use
The tension¡¯s building a reaction
This is a call to action¡
S.O.S. we need help (repeat 4 times)
Man¡¯s inhumanity towards another man
It¡¯s man¡¯s insanity and ignorance again
And now the time had come to stop what¡¯s going on
The hatred¡¯s building up, exploding like a bomb
It¡¯s a bomb with a short fuse
And I know it seems like no use
The tension¡¯s building a reaction
This is a call to action¡
S.O.S. we need help (repeat 4 times)
The bomb is gotta stop¡the bomb is gonna pop! (Repeat 4 times)
It¡¯s a bomb, it¡¯s a bomb!
It¡¯s a bomb with a short fuse
And I know it seems like no use
The tension¡¯s building a reaction
This is a call to action¡
S.O.S. we need help (repeat 4 times)
Drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop!
What were you doing when you sis the things you did
what were you saying when you said the things you
said no I can't comprehend anything you're saying I
don't understand this fucked up game you're playing
OK we've come full circle and are you willing to stand
by what you said cuz I'm not willing to go around and
around with you any longer
[Chorus:]
It's time to split the time It's time to split
the time It's time to split the time between you and
me can't you see
If we can just agree to disagree instead of fighting
all the time without ever understanding I never have
a clue what you're ever fucking thinking you don't
make sense you talking nonsense all day
[Chorus 2x]
I know we'll get by this time I know we'll get by
everything is gonna be alright it's gonna be OK [2x]
[Chorus 2x]
Lately things they do not feel the same
What we'll become full of hatred full of shame
Once was a face now is only just a name
The gift of life that we were treating like a game then
Something else dies inside me stripped away by another act of violence
Don't try to look cause you wont find me when I'm not there
And the scars that we wear - They will never go away
And the friends that we lose - The can never be replaced
Tell me what its going to take - And how many have to die
Till we put away our hate - And we open up our eyes
Sixteen years old when I lost my first friend
I tried to teach a broken heart how to bend
Twenty four and it happened yet again
More broken hearts is it ever going to end- cause...
Something else dies inside me stripped away by another act of violence
Don't try to look cause you wont find me when I'm not there
And the scars that we wear - They will never go away
And the friends that we lose - The can never be replaced
Tell me what its going to take - And how many have to die
Till we put away our hate - And we open up our eyes
God damn this feeling dont want to feel this again
My heart is bleeding your hate has taken my friend
Twenty two passed away before his time
Too quick to use our fists instead of our minds
So Concerned with whats yours and what is mine
Well maybe we can learn to love this time- cause...
If something else dies inside me - I'll run away yeah
You're never going to find me - The things I see always remind me -
Of how unfair everything is
Something else dies inside me stripped away by another act of violence
Don't try to look cause you wont find me when I'm not there
And the scars that we wear - They will never go away
And the friends that we lose - The can never be replaced
Tell me what its going to take - And how many have to die
Till we put away our hate - And we open up our eyes
Until we open up our eyes - Until we open up our eyes - Until we open up our eyes
Tell me what it's going to take - And how many have to die
oh yeah
i've been running all my life
and i face the world alone
when i'm around some people, i wish they'd just go home.
i just don't get it
is there something wrong with me?
if i look inside, maybe then i'll see that
i'm looking for someone yeah
i'm looking for someone who feels like i do
i'm looking for someone yeah
i'm looking for someone who feels like i do
i've learned to disappear
and i've learned to hide my pain in a fucked -up world
where there's too much hate
i just don't get it
is there something wrong with me?
if i look inside maybe then i'll see that
i'm looking for someone, yeah
i'm looking for someone who feels like i do
i'm looking for someone, yeah
i'm looking for someone who feels like i do
well i think i've gotta find a better way
i think i've got to find a way to make them stay,
'cause everybody's leaving all the time
everybody's leaving and i don't know why, yeah
balance is the key but i take it to extremes
i can think of all the ways
but i can't find the means when the world dictates,
i'll never get what i need
if i open up my eyes, maybe i'll see that
i'm looking for someone, yeah
i'm looking for someone who feels like i do
i'm looking for someone, yeah
i'm looking for someone who feels like i do
feels like i do
feels like i do
oh yeah
you're on your side, and you think that i'm on mine
this ridiculous abstraction is all in the mind
you know we don't evern know
what we're fucking fighting for
and so we turn our head 'cause we choose to ignore then
we collide over stupid fucking sides
blow our cool over different states of mind
we collide over stupid fucking sides
swallow our pride because of what our friends think
we turn our heads when we should've turned the other cheek
are we afraid of the prospect of peace?
there's things like love, respect, and minds open wide
so we don't need jerks who take stupid fucking sides then
we collide over stupid fucking sides
blow our cool over different states of mind
we collide over stupid fucking sides
swallow our pride because of what our friends think
sometimes i just don't know what you're thinking
and other times, well i just don't care
i'll throw you a line, and save you from sinking
because you waste a lot of time on you side
we collide over stupid fucking sides
blow our cool over different states of mind
we collide over stupid fucking sides
swallow our pride because of what our friends think
swallow our pride because of what our friends think
...who gives a fuck about what our friends think
how come! every time it seems that
you make up your mind
you change it every time
i'm sorry! if what i say offends you
it seems that's nothing new
nothing new at all
next time i'll try to remember
to walk on pins and needles
when i'm around you
maybe next time there will be a better way
maybe there won't even be a next time
maybe you should call me
when you're over ithow come! it seems to me that
you always have to be the center of attention
next time! you feel the need
to take out your frustration
then don't bother
bother calling me
next time i'll try to remember
to walk on pins and needles
when i'm around you
maybe next time there will be a better way
maybe there won't even be a next time
maybe you should call me
when you're over it
punk
My blood runs cold when I think of the
condition of human suffering and untold
pain the atrocities of war make my stomach
turn falling tears on the earth like burning
acid rain why has it
[Chorus:]
Been so long since anyone's noticed
it's been so long since anyone's cared we
watch and wait as the world keeps turning
hoping our greed won't consume us all
This world today is like a closed box for those
who have nothing but war torn streets shine a
ray of hope a light into their lives hid deep inside
your heart may they find their relief
why has it
[Chorus]
Hate can never cease by hate in this world and
this I know so I'm gonna give you these words
and I hope you'll listen to me cuz hate never
ceases by hate in this world no
Turn about the face and face the faces of death
in a place where men die of disease and
starvation psycho warfare politicians tool won't
let them pass the torch to a new generation
[Chorus 2x]
Why has it been so long
typewriters bang,
everyday it is the same
fact is
these people are going insane
they got sad eyes, no reply
they've been doing this shit all day
and they don't know why
they don't know the way
that's probably why they're going insane
they can't think with all those numbers (times 3)
numbers-
there's too much on the line for numbers-
there's too much emphasis on numbers-
there's too much on the line for numbers-
there's too much emphasis on
go!machine goes ping, telephone rings
yeah all his life
he's been doing the same thing
got sad eyes, no reply
i've been doing thi shit all day
and i don't know why
they don't know the way
thats probaly why they're going insane
they cna't think with all those numbers (times 3)
numbers
there's too much on the line for numbers
there's too much emphasis on numbers
there's too much on the line for numbers
there's too much emphasis on
go!

One more time Somebodies gotta kill
one more time Is time standing
One more time Another suicide
One more time Another kid has died
[Chorus:]
And one more time I think
I'm losing my mind [4x]
One more time Another broken home
One more time A cold heart of stone
One more time Are children born to die
One more time Is it any wonder why
[Chorus 2x]
Can you tell me why this is they're just kids
One more time A child's been abused
One more time Power's always misused
One more time A cry that goes unheard
One more time I can only think the worst
[Chorus 2x]
The road of life is paved with extreames
Broken hearts and shattered dreams
Reaching out for things that aren't real
Let them dictate the way we feel
Don't you know - It's your best intrest to go with the flow
Can you see - It's what we both need for you and me
I'm taking the middle way - I'm taking the middle way
I don't care what you say - I'm taking the middle way
Spin the wheel where does it stop
Around and round till you've had enough
If I define cause and effect
Your choice is liberty or death
Don't you know - It's your best intrest to go with the flow
Can you see - It's what we both need for you and me
I'm taking the middle way - I'm taking the middle way
I don't care what you say - I'm taking the middle way
What if I told you that the world was gonna end tomorrow
Would you re-evaluate - Try to moderate - Get some insight
And try to understand your world - Your world
So many ways in which things transpire
We search for a way to put out the fire
Like a kid with matches in hand
A metaphor for the flames that I fan
Don't you know - It's your best intrest to go with the flow
Can you see - It's what we both need for you and me
I'm taking the middle way - I'm taking the middle way
I don't care what you say - I'm taking the middle way
I'm taking the middle way - I'm taking the middle way
I don't care what you say - I'm taking the middle way
Ride free or die your laws don't apply gonna hop
your fence and skate the pool skate the rail at
your high school kick me out but I'll come back
maybe next time with a baseball bat
[Chorus:]
Fuck security fuck the cops I'm gonna
skate just where I want skatings a crime so lets
keep it that way just wanna sk8 sk8
Do a smith grind I'll rip down your sign gonaa
grind the benches at the mall kickflip the stairs
at city hall you give me a ticket I'll tear it up
spit in your face and say "You Fucking Suck!"
[Chorus]
Held back by walls of security, that
I just could never see, held people at arms length
devoid of human contact
Cannot express emotion
I try with all my strength
What is the matter with me?
It seems that no one even cares
I'm blinded by my innocence
will no one be there for me?
When I dont understand.
Covered in blankets of Imagination
Where I can talk to people without a
second thought
What if they're laughing at me
I know I'm not good enough
so I won't even try.....
God only knows what'll keep us from dying
because eveytime I look around I see Life as a big lie
Yeah everybody's saying ";yeah I'm the one"; yeah
";everybody came running to me";
But thats not how it works and it never did
you know I'm sorry it had to be this way
things got fucked up but thats okay....
...I'm sorry....
Jah
jah!
Do you know the world is run by big corporations
don't be a fool don't take a part in the ignorance
that's sweeping the nation don't let rich men make
the rules will you
[Chorus:]
Bow down to the invisible government fuck
that they're capitalist scum [2x]
Behind the scenes things get done that you and I
could never believe atop the world they're pulling
strings a puppet I'll never be used to satisfy their
greed I won't
[Chorus 4x]
Capitalist scum Fuck Off! [3x]
I don't wanna hear it, all you do is talk about you
I don't wanna hear it, cause you know none of its true
I don't wanna hear it, sick and tired of all your lies
I don't wanna hear it, when are you gonna realize
chorus
I don't wanna hear it, i know you're full of shit
I don't wanna hear it, i know you're full of shit
I don't wanna hear it, i know you're full of shit
I don't wanna hear it!!!
shut your fucking mouth i don't care what you say

first you're telling stories then you're telling lies
when the fuck are you gonna realize
chorus
i'm trying to find my way home to you
i'm gonna wipe all your tears away
ignorance and hate are killing this world
so where's the change?
it'll happen someday
oh- i try not to give up hope
that one day things will get better
we're all gonna be together -
may not be sunny weather
don't give up hope
its never been a question of ";this is alright";
'cause we're not gonna have it
all that i cna do is hope against hope
we'll set it right
'cause we're killing each other
oh- i try not to give up hope
that one day things will get better.
we're all gonna be together -
may not be sunny weatherdon't give up hope
well i don't know what to say,
but you've turned
me inside and out
and i don't know what to do
but i'm young and so are you so,
oh- i try ;not to give up hope
that one day things wil get better
we're all gonna be together-
may not be sunny weather
don't give up hope
If ignorance becomes you, then subscribe to the masses and
Just place your trust in the ALMIGHTY. Dollar
seeing green is seeing red, consumed by lust, consumed
by greed, its what they want, not what they need
if seeing green is seeing red
then seeing green is seeing death!
Take your green world, I reject your green world
Never, I couldn't. Cause everybody knows that i just don't want it
Take your green world, I reject your green world
Never, I couldn't.
Cause everybody knows that there's no truth in it
Reject your wealth, defy your false pwer
makes you think you're so deep
but there's no truth in it
Hatred! A spreading disease, is flowing throught the veins of every being on
the planet or so it seems. ";Maybe you, not me"; I see it clearly through the
red film of my eyes that we must fight!
Prejudice! Our nation's biggest sickness, is taking place before our very
eyes. I'm just as guilty as the next and that I'll try to change.
Unfortunately some are as easily persuaded so we fight!
Fight hatred!
This doesn't have to be a physical war, erase the ignorance into which we were
born. And yes this may become a violent fight, and we may never win but no one
can ever say we didn't try.
So we fight!
[Chorus:]
Well it's the high anxiety I'm a victim of
society high anxiety I'm a victim of society
high anxiety it's my high anxiety getting to the
best of me
Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna explode and
when I'm approaching total overload I know that
when I'm having a panic attack to duck and cover
cuz I can feel it coming
[Chorus]
This time I feel like I'm gonna die cold sweat the
fear is paralyzing you know I wish that this was
over and done heart pounds I can feel it escalating
[Chorus]
I don't know why sometimes I wake up in
the middle of the night I don't know why I gasp for
breath I'm really feeling like I'm on the brink
of death I wish I could get this crisis under
control then I could feel some kind of closure
I feel this could go on and on without end I guess
I'll just have to ride it out cuz
[Chorus 2x]
You've got No friends and so you're lonely.
It does not have to be this way
Just be yourself, the one and only
It take some time but that's okay
Alright, no need to fight
'cause everybody's different
and there's nothin you can do about it
and just because i dont look like you
or act like you
It doesn't make me any better or worse
You hate yourself cause you're not like them
well understand that this is wrong
You're better off doing your own thing,
being yourself and
being strong
still i'm having a hard time, but i'm keeping the pace
can we all keep up with this world's rat race?
climb out of bed and just help add to the fray
you've got to stand and face another day, yeah
i know i said it! there ain't no easy way out
unless you find some motivation
you won't regret it!
it's getting harder every day
know what to do, but it ain't getting done
no one ever said it was so hard
been there before and i'll be there again
try to find the strength to walk awayi think i read it! it said you try and try again
but i'm still stuck in the same place
i hope you're listening!
but you're just staring
into space
know what do do, but it ain't getting done
no one ever said it was so hard
been there before and i'll be there again
try to find the strength to walk away
know what do do, but it ain't getting done
no one ever said it was so hard
been there before and i'll be there again
try to find the strength to walk away
[Chorus:]
Did You Ever Get A Feeling of Dread?
That everything they're saying's not all that they've said
Why do they want to take us to war yeah
why do they wanna put us in a Government's war?
There's all this fighting and we don't know what for
so the rich get richer and the poor stay poor
[Chorus]
Poisoning the earth and the ground
so death comes swift it never makes a sound
the air is filled with carbon monoxide choke
on the diesel black clouds and the billowing smoke
Why do people fight over religion and politics
I've spent most of my life trying to figure it
out yeah yeah yeah it may be a question that
never gets answered it may result in some kind
of final disaster and oh what a shame it would
be but it would set the world free
[Chorus 4x]
All that they've said oh yeah
Since 1989 it seems that everyone's
forgotten the time when
intercontinental ballistics ruled the
world and the cold war raged
[Chorus:] Nuclear Family Nuclear War [4x]
Alarming to me it seems that ignorance
is still a disease and how so many
haven't a clue or a care about the threat
that still hangs over our heads
[Chorus 8x]
Burning in the aftermath [4x]
Just a blank and empty store - Another number stuck in line
Generation gone nowhere
Are we all loosin our minds - Our minds
Things are fallin all down - Should we let the would fall apart
Fallin down all around - Won't let this would break my heart - No
This is the last time - I let the world - Get the best of me
Never - Break me - Never - Gonna take me alive
We humans live on misery - Born to punch the clock each day
Is there really freedom of speech - Or do we watch what we say - I say
Things are fallin all down - Should we let the would fall apart
Fallin down all around - Won't let this would break my heart - No
This is the last time - I let the world - Get the best of me
Never - Break me - Never
Gonna take me alive - You'll never take me alive
And my heart is all mine - And my mind is free
That's all the revolution - Revolution that I need
And my heart is all mine - And my mind is free
That's all the revolution - Revolution that I need
And my heart is all mine - And my mind is free
And the fire it burns - Deep inside of me
And my heart is all mine - And my mind is free
And the fire it burns - Deep inside of me
Freedom
I try to do all that I can - To make a better me
Change yourself and then the world
Always speak what you believe - I believe
This is the last time - I let the world - Get the best of me
Never break me - Never gonna take me
This is the last time - I let the world - Get the best of me
Never break me - Never gonna take me (alive)
You'll never take me alive
I need some patience because I have none
do I need a conscience or a gun you say I
need drugs I think that depends I think
revenge is the best medicine a prescription
of Prozac and Vicodin will these panic attacks
ever end a little less sadness and no more pain
another fucking night I can't sleep again
[Chorus:]
Beat my head against the wall
Against the wall [3x]
Sometimes I feel like I can't breathe it
finally wears me out then I fall asleep
waking up depressed not knowing why
sometimes I feel like I wanna die there's
so much paranoia that I can't think depression
keeps getting the best of me I need a fucking
will or an ounce of hope the solution doesn't lie
at the end of a rope
[Chorus 2x]
When is there too much talk, too many words
About the same old things
The same things you've heard
A thousand times before
I can't listen no more
It's just the way of things
It's the way we think Buy
We gotta find some new ideas to express the way we feel
We gotta stand our ground
Start to give, re-assess the way we live
We're not the first and won't be the last
to spend too much time living in the past
It seems we work all day and accomplish nothing
Where to go from here,
'cause I can't sit around and just blow off another year
It seems we're growing old, and still doing nothing
When is there too much talk, too many words
About the same old things
The same things you've heard
A thousand times before
I can't listen no more
It's just the way of things
It's the way we think
We gotta find some new ideas to express the way we feel
We gotta stand our ground
Start to give, re-assess the way we live
Don't know what's going through your mind
Got the will, but just not enough time
I'd like to think I've been a good friend to you
Got a choice to make
'Cause I can't go through life living with this hate
It seems we're growing old, still missing something
When is there too much talk, too many words
About the same old things
The same thing you've heard
A thousand times before
I can't listen no more
It's just the way of things
It's the way we think
We gotta find some new ideas to express the way we feel
We gotta stand our ground
Start to give, re-assess the way we live
I find it funny that we're at each others throats
We're living in the shadows of this town's old ghosts
My side of town was way different from yours
We have our own ideas
Still we fight the same wars Buy
And do your words fall on deaf ears?
Will our words disappear over the years?
Everything fades away, yeah
As everything fades away
Could we have gotten past simple smiles and small talk?
Music built our pedestals, and friends they built our walls
It's us who let this happen, and so I move on
I gave in and you gave up
Who's to say who's wrong
And do your words fall on deaf ears?
Will our words disappear over the years?
Everything fades away, yeah
As everything fades away
My back is against the wall
Have we learned nothing at all?
Sob story, same story, sob story, same story
You made it competition
So take your faction
'Cause we don't need one
So fuck your faction
So we end with nothing
And do your words fall on deaf ears?
Will our words disappear over the years?
Everything fades away, yeah
As everything fades away
And so we end with nothing
There's something with the way you walk
There's something there that lights a spark inside of me
And it makes me want to sing
Makes me forget everything
There's something there inside your eyes
Lets me know you'd never lie
You fill me up and I know what you need
Do you know what you mean to me? Listen | Buy
Well I watch you sleep sometimes and it feels like the first time
And you're always on my mind
Everyday is like the first day
And I talk to you sometimes even though you never talk back
And I buy you things sometimes 'cause I don't mind
There's something strange, I can't get mad
Even when you're being bad - just look at me, and I forget everything
I try but I can't be mean
You sit by me and I scratch your back
You lick my hands then I get a rash, but that's okay
Because we, we are a team
You make a mess and then I clean
Well I watch you sleep sometimes and it feels like the first time
And you're always on my mind
Everyday is like the first day
And I talk to you sometimes even though you never talk back
And I buy you things sometimes 'cause I don't mind
There's something with the way you act
Makes me laugh when you chase the cats
You chase 'em around
And when it's close to feeding time, you stare at me and whine
You won't lay down, you'll hardly sit
I give you a bath when you smell like shit
But you don't mind
And we go out every now and then
And when you're done then we come back in
Well I watch you sleep sometimes and it feels like the first time
And you're always on my mind
Everyday is like the first day
And I talk to you sometimes even though you never talk back
And I buy you things sometimes 'cause I don't mind
Yeah I don't mind
Yeah I don't mind
Some people'll tell you all about it
They know everything there is to know
So they talk, talk, talk and everyone listens
It sounds real good, but the sincerity's missing Buy
You try so hard to change the world
You'll be into something else next year
You try so hard but its just not there
Take a look at your own and change yourself
Everyone thinks that they've got all the answers
Everyone thinks that they've found the truth
But no one thinks that we could die tomorrow
Gotta make the right choice about the path that you follow
You try so hard to change the world
You'll be into something else next year
You try so hard but its just not there
Take a look at your own and change yourself
Seems okay but when I scratch your surface
I can see that your hearts not in it
yeah, yeah, yeah
You talk so much but you're saying nothing
You got good lines, but nobody's listening
Its a hard road when the world is against you
It seems that way from time to time
Well its probably just your imagination
True sincerity can be your salvation
You try so hard to change the world
You'll be into something else next year
You try so hard but its just not there
Take a look at your own and change yourself
Take a look at the world and change the future
Take a look at everything and start the change in yourself
toxic landfill

Well just today I was forced to say I'm going on a permanent holiday
I'll drop what I'm doing, it's okay, I'm going on a permanent holiday
Well I left a note saying I'll be gone for a long time, yeah a long, long time
It's gonna take a lot to bring me back now
I won't spend another day in this heart-attack city
It's messed up here and everything's money
Those well-heeled boys that think they're so funny
I left a note saying I'll be gone Buy
Well just today I was forced to say I'm going on a permanent holiday
I'll drop what I'm doing, it's okay, I'm going on a permanent holiday
Well I told them all I wasn't coming back for a long time, yeah a long, long time
Well everything's fad and as for the fame well everything's got it's 15 minutes
I've no idea where it all went bad
But I guess you can't tell until you get down in it
I told them all I wasn't coming back
Well maybe I'll go to France or maybe Spain
'Cause the work that they do here is the kind that numbs my brain
I need to get away and I'm never coming back 'cause my mind just turned off and my body's out of whack
Va ¨C Ca ¨C Tion!
Well just today I was forced to say I'm going on a permanent holiday
I'll drop what I'm doing, it's okay, I'm going on a permanent holiday
Just today I was forced to say I'm going on a permanent holiday
I'll drop what I'm doing, it's okay, I'm going on a permanent holiday
Well I left a note saying I'll be gone for a long time
When I wake up in the morning
When the sun comes up
I want to tell you how I feel
And I feel no one's luckier than me
Perfect days rarely come my way
But I've had a few and they've been with you
I'll hang around because I want some more
And I want you to have these days, too Buy
We were downtown drinking on a Wednesday night
You know it sucks to be alone
Then I told myself I was never going home
When I wake up in the morning
When the sun comes up
I want to tell you how I feel
And I feel no one's luckier than me
Yesterday was a perfect day
Its times like these that you never forget
I hope you're feeling the same way too
'Cause I know I don't have any regrets
It was a Thursday morning
And the sun was shining
It felt good to be alive
A perfect day with you by my side
When I wake up in the morning
When the sun comes up
I want to tell you how I feel
And I feel no one's luckier than me
When the evening rolls around
You know I love just to sit around with time on our side
I feel so alive with you
The sun comes up, sometimes its not enough
But when I'm with you, it can rain all day
I'd like to think you feel the same way too
'Cause to me there is no other way
We were laying in bed on a Friday night
It felt good not to be alone
And when I look at you
I feel like I'm at home
When I wake up in the morning
When the sun comes up
I want to tell you how I feel
And I feel no one's luckier than me
When I lay down in the evening
When the sun goes down
Don't leave me alone
'Cause in your arms, I feel like I'm at home
The wind was chill as we sat on the steps,
I could see the vapor form from your breath,
Well, your lips were red and your skin so pale,
But your cash register read no sale, well
The moon was set against deep blue sky
A stone cold, stark white, sliver of light
The stillness of the air and the fading twilight
If I died here tonight you know it really wouldn't matter at all Buy
We've known each other since the first grade,
When I pushed you down and white-washed your face,
Well, we were playing the king of the hill, yeah
We'd start an avalanche and see who fell, well
There I was standing on that hill when
The other kids came in for the kill,
Then something hit my head, I was rendered unconscious
If I died on that hill, to you, it really wouldn't matter
Some people say that I just don't get it, in fact you said it yourself
I've heard some say that I can't take a hint
And others say that I should seek help, yeah well
You left a trail of footprints in the sand as
You started running as fast as you can, well
I'll never know why I make you wanna vomit or
When I call you up you tell me to stop it, well
The moon was set against deep blue sky
A stone cold, stark white, sliver of light
The stillness of the air and the fading twilight
If I died here tonight you know it really wouldn't matter at all
If I died here tonight you know it really wouldn't matter at all...matter at all
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
there's gotta be a little rain sometime
When you take you gotta give
so live and let live
and let go oh oh oh oh
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
I could promise you things like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
So you better think it over
Well, if sweet talking you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
But what would it matter
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
there's gotta be a little rain sometime
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
I could sing you a tune
and promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you
I'd just as soon let you go
But there's one thing I want you to know
You'd better look before you leap
still waters run deep
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what I'm talking about
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
there's gotta be a little rain sometime.....
My systems down

When I see you I'll ask you, ";Where have you been?";
There'll be so much to say
We won't know where to begin
We'll skateboard all day
And we'll drink all damn night
'Cause I know we'll meet up in the next life
I'll see you soon again my friend
The times that we've shared been so genuine
Know that you had to go
But you'll tell me where you've been

And I know that you never wasted your time
I think of your laugh
And I think of your smile, and I cry
Waitin' for the day I'll see that smile on your face again
Holdin' on to the memories
'Cause brotherhood's forever my friend

White picket fence and yeah thats me
i've got a nice mowed lawn and a family
i make a little money, got a dog with a bone
cause i have a little mind and a nice little home
the milkman's here, wonder what he'll bring
the kids and beaver cleaver on the tire swing
the wife's in the kitchen cookin' a roast
i like my little mind and my little homeeat the rich and kill the poor, that's good for me
i've got a rusted yellow bucket and a case of V.D
i've got no money and i have no home
so step the fuck back and just leave me alone
The purple hearts here, wonder what they'll bring
the wife's in the bedroom having a fling
i think i'll drop it all
and head to the coast
i used to have a little mind and a nice little house
When the extra weight hits my brain I feel like I¡¯m going insane

My heart is pumping blood into my head,
And I feel just like a thousand pounds of lead
And the right half of my body has gone numb¡ Listen | Buy
I think it¡¯s too much, a little too much¡
I think it¡¯s too much for me!
When the monster inside my head is telling me I¡¯m better off dead
That¡¯s when my mind¡¯s turned upside down
That¡¯s when you wish you weren¡¯t around
My head is telling me that it¡¯s not right,
Your face is such an unfamiliar sight
And when I¡¯m flying high as a fucking kite,
I think it¡¯s too much, a little too much¡
I think it¡¯s too much for me!
Take another drag to kill the pain of
your meaningless existence in this godforsaken place,
where everyone¡¯s a sellout but they¡¯re also a fucking burnout,
they thought it would be the best way to enhance your state of mind
See, I went home and I turned on the t.v. ¡®cause I had the time
I look at all this bullshit, all this muggin¡¯ and crime
War, death, disease, famine what¡¯s it all worth!
I started to lose it by the time I started losin¡¯ my mind
So I got to the Jah, and I got to the J.
I get to the spliff, and I got in his way
The same frame of mind! (Repeat 3x)
Pick it up¡.

My sole is on the ground when I¡¯m walking down the street 2, 3, 4
Don¡¯t wear no Doc Martens
Can¡¯t wear no Birkenstocks

If you want to wear them you don¡¯t have to ride a skateboard
You can even wear them with a pair of old cords
Someone¡¯ll probably tell you that they¡¯re not in trend
Just tell them that¡¯s the reason why you don¡¯t have any friends
No friends¡

you never considered how I feel
show me something thats real
you never show me whats inside

How could such a simple argument turn into this
I thought that I knew everything about you
I pushed that flashing red button that set you off
I guess I didnt really know you as well as I thought I did
I guess that I figured out everything about you
I guess I know all there is to know
I guess that I figured out what makes you do all the things you do
I guess I know everything there is to know
You know you make me want to say so long
You know you make me wanna say goodbye....(goodbye)
How could you do all the things that you've done to me
and still have the nerve to say we're still friends I don't know
They tell me that it's all a part of growing up and being scared
When I was down and out where were you
You weren't there!

I can¡¯t wait to see your face when you and your friends show up Listen | Buy
So I¡¯ve got a - I got a new girl (repeat 4 times)
Something makes you think that you¡¯re some kinda winner

You're just too hip, you're just too cool
but everybody knows that you're just a fucking fool
and you'll carry that ";cool"; until the day you die
'cause you're still full of shit and you're turning 25
If you wanna know the answers, then you've gotta ask the questions
";who am i?"; and ";who is she?";
and ";does it matter anyway?";
You've got to look for love on the inside man
don't look for love on the outside
doesn't matter what the others say, cause all that shit gets in the way
You can't love me, and you can't love you
where'd it all go wrong? cause I wish I really knew
that color's all the same through color blind eyes,
and if you think you're so different then you're wasting your time
Hey! What¡¯s goin¡¯ on?
Hey! What went wrong?
Hey! I don¡¯t know why¡
Hey! I might as well try! Buy
Well, I looked around this crazy place and tried to make some sense of it¡
Robbed a bank and stole a car and tried to put some dents in it
AND everybody is playing games
I don¡¯t know what to make of it
Don¡¯t play your stupid games you know I don¡¯t need all that fucked up shit
No one ever told me I was gonna get older
Turned 21 and I thought my life was over
Took a long time to get where I am now
And I¡¯m not gonna sit around wondering how, no!
Well I listen to your fuckin¡¯ shit I can¡¯t make any sense of it
¡®Cause what goes in does not come out, you¡¯ve gotta put two cents in it
You¡¯re just a blob of fuckin¡¯ jell you¡¯re brain is floating in space
And if your brain was worth a quarter I¡¯d get twenty-six cents back in change!
No one told me that the grass would be greener
I¡¯ve done a lot of things since the last time that I seen her
No one ever told me it would be this way
That¡¯s why you can¡¯t make any sense out of anything I say!
My world is crumbling and I don¡¯t know what to do
It¡¯s falling down around me ¡®cause I¡¯m thinking of you
If we take a look at our world today
Are our morals on decline or have we all gone insane?
Hey! What¡¯s goin¡¯ on?
Hey! What went wrong?
Hey! I don¡¯t know why¡
Hey! I might as well try!
Breaking¡.myself
There¡¯s something about myself I can¡¯t control
Yet it happens time and time again when I¡¯m trying to be
Well I smash it down and break it down when I¡¯m trying to be
Well it¡¯s such a shame it¡¯s sad to say there¡¯s nothing to see there
I don¡¯t wanna talk about it ¡®cause you know I can¡¯t live without it
It¡¯s a stupid fucking shame¡
And every time I think about it
I think I¡¯m so lame Listen | Buy
I break the glass, I break it down (repeat 4 times)
What¡¯s your story, what¡¯s your sign.
No I can¡¯t agree
Well you know you¡¯ll never get it in this life for free
You can blow it down and break the glass
Break my heart in two
But you¡¯d better be prepared its such a shock
There¡¯s nothing there
Fill me up because I¡¯m empty
Why couldn¡¯t I just have kept me
You know it really fucking sucks¡
When I try to talk about it the words seem to get stuck
I break the glass, I break it down (repeat 4 times)
Down!
I break the glass, I break it down (repeat 4 times)
Pick it up¡.
what you see isn't what you feel
and what you see isn't always true
sacrifice waht you think is real
for the sake of being cool
what you believe you took from someone else
what you think and what you feel
sacrifice what was in last year
for a fucking better deal
try looking from a different point of view
two sides to every story, which one is true?
when you're on the outside looking in....
stereotypes, well i've heard a few
but i guess that, that its nothing new
people always judging you
but never judge themselves
being cool, well you've gotta be different
being different means being cool
it's alright to be different
until something else is cooltry looking from a different point of view
two sides to every story, which one is true?
when you're on the outside looking in
it's all just fashion in the end
throw away orginality- for the sake of fashion
sacrifice a friend ot move ahead, ahead
one day i hope that you'll look back
'cause you'll change again
and that's a fact
then who will catch you when you fall? fall!
oi!
oi!, oi!
oi!
when you're on the outside looking in
it's all just fashion in the end
try looking from a different point of view
two sides to every story which one is true?
when your on the outside looking in
its all just fashion in the end
you took me home and
you spent a half an hour on the phone
you kept me waiting for such a long time LONG TIME!
the things you say to try to make me think
that you had been around
you'd like to think that you had been down
i never can find the words to tell you
what i really think about your
lies, lies, lies,
i never can find the words to tell you
you talk about high society
when life is really low you see
not high, high, high
why do you do the things you do to me?
i don't know but i think
you've got it in for me
why do you do the things you do to me?
i don't know but i think
you've got it in for me
said ";we're in love";
and you wanted to take me
to the country club
all i could think that
";that would be sad"; said ";that's okay,";
and i had to tell you,
";maybe some other day
i'd really like to meet your new dad";chorus
why do you do the things you do to me
i don't know, but i think
you've got it in for me
why do you do the things that you do to me
i don't know, but i think
you've got it in for me
I never can find the words to tell you
(repeat 3 times)
i've got a million things going around in my head
and i never really paid attention to what you said no
and now i wish that i would have said goodbye,
but its much too late, and all i do is give and all you do is take
chorus
you've gotta look before you leap
and take a good look at your so-called friends
yeah, thats the company you keep
you've got words coming at you from all directions
you gotta look before you leap
and take a good look at your so-called friends
yeah, thats the company you keep - they got the words, oh yeah
there's a lot of things that were never said
and if we'd grown up faster then i would have stood up
but-i should have cut you loose a long time ago,
but its much too late
and all i do is give and all you do is take
chorus
well, there never was a time when you didn't try to lord me over,
never was there a time when i felt bad for you
whenever you had the chance, the way i see it
you tried to screw me over
never was there a time when i wasn't there for you

and take a look you'll findchorus
some walk around, never knowing

'cause they're only seeing
what they've been shown, yeah
sometimes it's hard, yeah
'cause there's so much trouble
in the world today
we stereotype the masses
and everybody's saying
you've got to do it my way
chorus
i don't need your criticisms
i don't want you idealisms
sick and tired of your empty promises
i don't care what you say
the things that you say to me carry no weight
yu turn it around on me with what you say
everything has to be always your way
that's how it seems to me
that's what i say
i don't care about your virtues
i don't care about your standards
can't be yourself cause you're too lame to be
i don't care what you saythe things that you say to me carry no weight
yu turn it around on me with what you say
everything has to be always your way
that's how it seems to me
that's what i say
why do you always have to make problems?
think about the words you say
before you open your mouth and spit 'em out
feel the pain of words
i don't need your criticisms
i don't need your idealisms
sick and tired of your empty promises
i don't care what you say
What were you thinkning years ago
When you did what you did- and said I didnt know
Well I'm here now, my only chance gone,
seems funny to me how you've changed your song
But you can't take back the things you said,
and you cant take back, the things you did
Strange how you change when you get older
it's funny how the past comes back to haunt you
You had the support, and the support was you
I tried to make it work, i wish you had tried too
like a Dali abstract- it was all fucked up
now I'm dying in the gutter- down on my luck
But you can't take back the things you said,
and you cant take back, the things you did
Strange how you change when you get older
it's funny how the past comes back to haunt you
Stop what you're doing and think for a minute
If only for a moment it's better than nothing
and you'll see that we've got something
won't you see, that we've got something
But you can't take back the things you said,
and you cant take back, the things you did
Strange how you change when you get older
it's funny how the past comes back to haunt you
Maybe someday - We can heal the wounds
I'd like to think - That we can do that soon
Times have changed - The good times gone
But we can make it work - if we'll admit we're wrong
Yeah
But you can't take back the things you said,
and you cant take back, the things you did
Strange how you change when you get older
it's funny how the past comes back to haunt you
But you can't take back the things you said,
and you cant take back, the things you did
Strange how you change when you get older
it's funny how the past comes back to haunt you
Why do you choose - To walk through life so blind
Frozen Hearts - And empty minds
Its everywhere - But we still don't see
And I blame you - And you blame me
And everyday - I slowly lose my mind
And every time - I come up empty
Something else inside me - Starts to die
And I'm left - Alone and angry
It's in the air - That we breathe each day
It's what we call - the American Way
It's in the way - That we treat each other
We segregate - And we fight our brothers
Why are we raised - To pledge allegiance
To a flag - That rapes and bleeds us
And we're all free - Or so we're told
A country with a corrupted soul
And evryday - We chase that dream
With empty eyes - And painted smiles
And everyday - We wait to die
Still no one cares - And I'm just as guilty
It's in the air - That we breathe each day
It's what we call - the American Way
It's in the way - That we treat each other
We segregate - And we fight our brothers
I only see - What they let me see
I only do - What they tell me to
No! - Yeah!
Don't see - Don't speak - Don't feel - Don't think
Compassion is a myth
The sad truth - Is ignorance is bliss
Cut from a heartless mold
Stand up - Let the truth be told
It's in the air - That we breathe each day
It's what we call - the American Way
It's in the way - That we treat each other
We segregate - And we fight our brothers
The word ¡°real¡± is defined as what really lies inside
You¡¯re not the person I once knew,
You¡¯re not the you that I¡¯m used to
All this wool is buggin¡¯ my eyes and I never realized
Behind that plastic shell, you cannot even tell
I can¡¯t come in ¡®cause you won¡¯t let me break through the mask of who you are Listen | Buy
You let down your shield, it¡¯s your best defense,
It won¡¯t devastate you, it¡¯s really hard¡
For me to tell you everything that I want to tell to you
But you never knew the real me¡
And I¡¯m sure I never knew the real you
I wanna see the real you! (Repeat 6x)
Conflicting spheres of interest pose a threat to who we are
And where we want to be, we just can¡¯t see
We throw the walls up around ourselves
Our visions are dulled and doubtful
It¡¯s our double standards
That¡¯ll wrap us up inside ourselves and never let us out¡
I wanna see the real you! (Repeat 6x)
Motherfucker!
Fucking Bitch!
Hypocrite!
Ahhh!
The Real You!
I wanna see the real you! (Repeat 6x)
the division of society into two separate classes
there are those of us who work and we make up the masses
slaving for the corporations raking in the profit
someone's got to take a stand, someones got to stop it
organize discontent and strike against the system
that oppresses you and depreciates the value of our work
realize what is meant, cause you don't really need them
underestimate thepower of peole who have been hurt
unite and you will find that strength is truly found in numbers
and you possess the power ot destroy those that you work under
their machine won't operate unless it has an operator
we're unknowingly convicted to a life of hard labor
they don't care about you, your best interests aren't in mind
they're concerened with capital broadening class lines
broken by the bastards that regulate your wages
poverty is our crime and employment is our cage
its 1998 and the time has come to order
the rich are getting richer
while the poor are getting poorer
economic warfare, but the ones who did this
turn the table on survival of the fittest
we're gonna pull the red carpet out from under their feet
we're gonna pull the red carpet out from under their feet
we're gonna pull the red carpet out from under their feet
we're gonna pull the red carpet out from under their feet

You stab us in the back - You make us look bad
As far as friends go - you're the worst I've ever had
Your hands are red

You stab us in the back - You make us look bad
As far as friends go - you're the worst I've ever had
You'll never know what a real friendship's about

Some choose to split and form their own factions
We both know you didn't have to do this
But now that it's done I'll have to get through this
Get through this
Get through this
Get through this
Get through this
Put yourself in front and expected me to back you
Left me high and dry with my hands behind my back to you
Had me running blind but now that I can see just

You¡¯re the only one in the world that you care about
Makes me wanna run and hide my head

I wish I had faith in something- I wish I could find a way
And I wish you could change- how I wish I could too
When I look at all the things we've been through
I wish I had faith in someone- I wish there was another way
And I hope that you know- there's no other way
Cause you dropped a bomb on me today
Can anybody tell me how things went so wrong
And please explain- how do I go through life this way
Always on parade- you paint your smiles on everyday
Just try to be- try to be happy being me
Then soon I'll see- if a leap of faith will set me free
I wish I had faith in something- I wish I could find a way
And I wish you could change- how I wish I could too
When I look at all the things we've been through
I wish I had faith in someone- I wish there was another way
And I hope that you know- there's no other way
Cause you dropped a bomb on me today
Can anybody help me please throw me a line
Because I'm fading fast I feel my life wasting away
And if I stay I might end up like you one day
And that's not who- that's not who I want to be
Then soon we'll see- if a leap of faith will set me free
Don't think- Don't speak- Don't drag me down- Don't take me with you
Feels I've been holding on so long- Step back and slow it down
And stand up and look around- My faith left town long ago
I wish I had faith in something- I wish I could find a way
And I wish you could change- how I wish I could too
When I look at all the things we've been through
I wish I had faith in someone- I wish there was another way
And I hope that you know- there's no other way
Cause you dropped a bomb on me today
Cause you dropped a bomb on me today
Cause you dropped a bomb on me today
Cause you dropped a bomb on me today
Didn't I express my regrets about the
way things are and I think I might not be taken
this too far this time I hope that you can
understand this time I hope that you can see it
Didn't I tell you everything about me
didn't I show you can you feel it got
so many thoughts and words inside my
head inside my head
Didn't I do enough to make you feel so
sad and you know I'm sorry about the
fights we had so long I'm sorry everything
went wrong goodbye you'll never have to see me
[Chorus:]
Didn't i tell you we'd never last
forever cuz we change our minds like changes
in the weather now it's all over even
though we've come so far we've come so far
Everything went wrong emotional feed back
we're so confused everything's gone so wrong
with my heart in my throat
I know it's time to grow up
I know that you and I would never last
and all this time it went by much to fast I never
listened to a word they said remember
me and don't cry cuz
[Chorus 2x]
it took some time
but now i can see my faults
and i've made up my mind now
see how the water falls
it's so personal
that i could not come to terms wiht
the choices that i've made
well, it seems i'm here to stay...
the waves are strong
but they won't pull me down
i know right from wrong
and that's the strength i've found
it's been a while
but i think i've got it now
the waves are strong but they won't pull me
downdown on myself for doing things
i said i'd never do, well
i've made mistakes, yeah
all part of growing up its true
we see eye to eye
but there was no way for me to know
until i tried i've seen the lies
i know which way to go
foget what i've learned lear to forget
i never wanted this
i'm happy with the way it was
with success that i have earned comes hatred
i never wanted this

the waves are strong
but they won't pull me down
i know right from wrong
and that's the strength i've found
it's been a while
but i think i've got it now
the waves are strong but they won't pull me
down
Runnin with the thieves yeah - And slumming with the rats
Been runnin fifteen years - You can never bring me back
We lived our lives hard - And we lived our lives fast - Fightin for the future
Still e struggle with our past - And we're still all outcasts
Cause this is the - Only life I know
When push comes to shove - Will I be left standing alone - Alone - Standing alone
We gave it our all - But was our all ever enough - Was it enough
Flew Through all th good times - And dragged through all the bad
These are the best friends - That I ever had
Living like paupers - We were runnin with the kings - Fighting like brothers
I wouldn't change a thing - No I wouldn't change a thing
Cause this is the - Only life I know
When push comes to shove - Will I be left standing alone - Alone - Standing alone
We gave it our all - But was our all ever enough - Was it enough
I got your back - And you've got mine
We can make a difference - It just takes some time
I got your back - And you've got mine
We can make a difference - It just takes some time
Cause this is the - Only life I know
When push comes to shove - Will I be left standing alone - Alone
Standing alone- We gave it our all - But was our all ever enough
Cause this is the - Only life I know
When push comes to shove - Will I be left standing alone - Alone
Standing alone- We gave it our all - But was our all ever enough - Was it enough
I don't understand your problems, 'cause you got too many of them
It's hard to relate to you, well
We've been told that the grass is always greener on the other side,
The other side, oh yeah, but that doesn't mean we should stop
what we're doing on the outside, the outside - OUTSIDE! Buy
We all know that everything changes, this always seems better than the other
Gotta keep my mind focused on right now
I can't take my eye off thinking 'bout how
Well I don't understand your reasoning,
'Cause you know that it really doesn't make any sense to me, well
We've been told that the grass is always greener on the other side,
The other side, oh yeah, but that doesn't mean we should stop
what we're doing on the outside, the outside - OUTSIDE!
We all know that everything changes, this always seems better than the other
Gotta keep my mind focused on right now
I can't take my eye off thinking 'bout how
You know I'd never say these things to you if they didn't mean something to me
You know I'd never try to get in your head,
Try to make you believe what I want you to see, yeah,
They told me that everything changes, well yeah,
Just remember that everything changes
I'm just a casual observer
I'm always just taking it in, I watch the world go by, well
We've been told that the grass is always greener on the other side,
The other side, oh yeah, but that doesn't mean we should stop
what we're doing on the outside, the outside - OUTSIDE!
We all know that everything changes, this always seems better than the other
Gotta keep my mind focused on right now
I can't take my eye off thinking 'bout how
We all know that everything changes, this always seems better than the other
Gotta keep my mind focused on right now
I can't take my eye off thinking 'bout how
Sunny day in the park and we sit out on the grass
I knew if I stole your shoes you'd chase me to get 'em back
Because I know that...
There's an extraordinary thing about you
That I can't put my finger on or figure out it's funny Buy
You chased me around a tree and into a big patch of shrubs
I came out with some sticks in my hair and somebody's old pair of gloves
But I still say that...
There's an extraordinary thing about you
That I can't put my finger on or figure out it's funny
Although I never thought about it I must really like teasing you
And if you're wondering why I look at you the way that I do because
That day will be etched in my mind as the day that I made you mine
That day will live in my head as the biggest mistake of my life
Only kidding cause...
There's an extraordinary thing about you
That I can't put my finger on or figure out it's funny
There's an extraordinary thing about you
That I can't put my finger on or figure out it's funny
i don't have a lot to say because i lose my mind each day
so lock me in a padded room, straight up, straight out
straight jacket doom
goin' nuts, insane you see this padded room so leave me be
this padded room here all the time. cause you see
I lost my mind
I bust a nut an lost a bolt, now you know my lifes on hold
cause all these doctors think im crazy, but all thi shit it doesn't please me
oh yeah , imgonna lose it now, can't stop me no way , no how
there's a word, i hink its zonkers, all these people think im BONKERS
Society is smothering me, this place is where people fuck quietly
and they have bland orgasms, suburbia is so beautiful
expansive green lawns for expensive white people
and that mailman he smiles and says hello
(i just wanna roll his ass)
you wanna know why?
cause now are the days you've got to be crazed
you've gotta live your life your own way
I'd really like to run away, go out and have some fun and play
but i'm still locked in this padded room
with this world's fucked up, shitty gloom
competition sucks, you see this padded room is killing me
this padded room, i'm here to die. just tripped out
no reason why
I pound a spike and lose a screw
my brains scrambled
nothing you can do
be great to play while someone pays me, not called bonkers its called LAZY
i'll stand up and take a bow what do you think of me now?
there's a word i think its zonkers,
all these clones they say i'm
BONKERS!
let your accusations fly
when you find the need to lie
to explain why i am here
you've got nothing better on your mind
you make excuses for everyone
while we're just having fun
you should mind your business
we will mind our own
let your accusations fly
let your accusations fly
let your accusations fly
hours in an empty room
just sitting here scratching the walls
not knowing who my friends are
who i could even trust at all
memories of days gone by
yet still i'm feeling the same
you talk shit about me
but i don't even know your name,nolet your accusations fly
when you find the need to lie
to explain why i am here
you've got nothing better on your mind
you make excuses for everyone
while we're just having fun
you should mind your business
we will mind our own
let your accusations fly
let your accusations fly
let your accusations fly
3rd generation rumor information
the story changed a million times
join and be complacent to any conversation
the only feelings hurt are mine
don't know the whole story
this shit is getting boring
don't even have your own mind
adopting other peoples opionions
just makes it easy to fit in
you know we're victims of another lie
you said you would say it to my face
but i know that's a lie
so we'll save conversation for another time
everybody is avictim of someobody's lies
but a lie is a lie
but a lie is a lie
All my people right here and right now -
Let's stop this fight before our time is through
1-2-3-4
You and I maybe the only ones to rise above this madness called hate
Still I hope that we're not the only ones to hear the bells of liberty reverberate
All my people right here and right now -
Let's stop this fight before our time is through
If the price of peace is violence I'm not gonna buy it
Let's end this hate before our time is due
Well let's try understanding for a change
The point of view of other people's lives
And this might not be what you see as a truth
But let's try not to stereotype realities
All my people right here and right now -
Let's stop this fight before our time is through
If the price of peace is violence I'm not gonna buy it
Let's end this hate before our time is due
Yeah try understanding for a change
Oh yeah use some compassion for a change
Yeah try understanding for a change
Oh yeah use some compassion for a change
We know that we've gone so far astray
Its true humanity thats lacking in our lives
And you know I can't do this all alone
It's up to you and I to end this fucking fight
All my people right here and right now -
Let's stop this fight before our time is through
If the price of peace is violence I'm not gonna buy it
Let's end this hate before our time is due
All my people right here and right now -
Let's stop this fight before our time is through
If the price of peace is violence I'm not gonna buy it
Let's end this hate before our time is due

All my people right here and right now -
Let's stop this fight before our time is through
If the price of peace is violence I'm not gonna buy it
Let's end this hate before our time is due
