Famous quotes by Oscar De La Hoya:

"But people get these crazy ideas, ... I went on my own roller-coaster ride to gain acceptance from Mexican-American fight fans. It was very difficult and frustrating. There were times when I felt like shouting, 'I can be your hero too.' And there were times, like my fights against Ike Quartey and even against Fernando Vargas, when I fought more aggressively and took more risks than I should have to please those fans."

"One of the things that bothers me most, ... is that very few people really understand what it means to be a fighter. I hate it when I hear someone say, 'That fighter doesn't have guts.' I hate that; it really ticks me off. I don't care if you're a world champion six times over or a four-round fighter who just got knocked out in thirty seconds of your first professional fight. To step inside that ring, you have to have guts."

"I've learned to not take media criticism personally, ... Seven or eight years ago, I would have said 'I hate the media; there are people in it who are always bashing me.' Now I understand that, when someone writes something negative about me, it's part of the game. Media criticism will destroy you if you take it personally, so now I play with it. I stay away from politics. Some people criticize me for that, but it's a choice I've made. I have my views, but politics can be very sensitive. I've struggled so hard to get fans and people behind me for what I want to accomplish that it would be a mistake to support one party publicly and have the other party against me."

"Once, I was at a party, ... This was at a time when it seemed like I had everything. I was young. I was undefeated. I had money. I'd just moved into my own home. People at the party were laughing and having fun. And I missed my mother. I felt so lonely. I remember asking myself, 'Why isn't my mother here? Why are all these people around me? I don't want these people around me.' I looked out the window and started crying."

"I would have loved to have met Elvis Presley, ... He was the King. It's very interesting to me; the way he grew up, the demons he battled, how he handled the pressure and how, after a while, it became a burden he couldn't carry."

"The community work is central to who I am, ... I want to get across the idea in the community that all children have some golden boy or golden girl in them."

"Whatever comes next for me, as far as boxing is concerned, I have no regrets. I would never change what I've accomplished and the history I've made."

"I've said for years, ... that my biggest heroes are school teachers. A good school teacher is like another parent."

"I've grown up, ... I'm less naive than before. I stopped the party scene a long time ago and started spending more time with family and real friends. I'm not perfect. Sometimes, I think about what I would say if I could talk to my mother again. First, I'd get off my chest the mistakes and bad decisions I've made. I'm married now with a wonderful wife. We're expecting a baby boy in December. I'm doing LaMaze classes and experiencing morning sickness with her. As a father, I'm going to be there every day I possibly can. But I had two children out-of-wedlock, not with my wife, before I was married. They're beautiful children; I adore them. But I grew up with a solid family, and Jacob and Atiana [ages 7 and 6] are entitled to that too. I try to be a good father to them, but it's not the same and there were other times when my head was turned by fame and fortune. Maybe the best way to say it is that I've made mistakes in my life, but they were innocent mistakes and I've grown from them."

"I was seventeen when my mother passed away, ... I was heartbroken. Nothing mattered to me anymore. I thought seriously about not finishing high school, even of dropping out of boxing. Not one day passes that I don't think about my mother. And to be honest, there are still times when it's a lonely world without her. But I feel that I was blessed to have her in my life, and I believe she's still looking out for me."

Eres mi tristeza y mi alegria
somos como la noche y el dia
nuestra historia es algo incomprensible
Eres como fuego como lluvia
somos el romance y la locura
solo asi se logra lo imposible
Amandote renacere (renacere)
de mis cenizas volare (y volare)
si esta amor respira yo vivire
*CORO*
Te amo y que hermosos es tenerte
te amo y que extraña es la suerte
hayarte justo ahora que moria en el olvido
te amo y no quiero perderte
te amo y me duele quererte
hay algo que aprendi de ti
quien mas te ama mas te hara sufrir
Eres realidad y fantasia
somos la pasion y la agonia
nuestro amor es algo inconfezable
Eres el silencio y la palabra
tu eres el perdon y yo soy la rabia
solo asi se logra lo impossible
Amandote renacere (renacere)
de mis cenizas volare (y volare)
si esta amor respira yo vivire
*CORO*
Solo creo en la vida
confio en el tiempo
y camino hacia el sol
(camino hacia el sol)
no hay nostalgia pequeña,
placer sin dolor
*CORO*

If ever you got rain in your heart,
someone has hurt you, and torn you apart,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?
And let it be like they said it would be
me loving you girl, and you loving me.
Am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?
Run to me whenever you're lonely (to love me)
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then, you need someone older,
so darling, you run to me.
And when you're out in the cold,
no one beside you, and no one to hold,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me?
And when you've got nothing to lose,
nothing to pay for, nothing to choose,
am I unwise to open up your eyes to love me
Run to me whenever you're lonely (to love me)
Run to me if you need a shoulder
Now and then you need someone older,
so darling, you run to me......

Nunca imagine
que asi de lejos yo tambien te iba a querer
nunca imagine
que yo en un sueño iba a morir por amor a ti
Y recuerdo que mientras soñaba reinaba la calma
y recuerdo que sin condiciones se deja hasta el alma
Te deje mi amor, mi cariño, mis ojos, mi cuerpo, mi todo
y te quize tanto que todo lo di por pensar solo en ti
y dime que hago si ya desperte y me muero por verte
no quiero vivir si no puede verte
Nunca imagine
que yo hasta en sueños tanto asi te iba a querer
nunca imagine
que al navegar mi corazon te ibas a anclar
Y recuerdo que mientras soñaba reinaba la calma
y recuerdo que sin condiciones se deja hasta el alma
Te deje mi amor, mi cariño, mis ojos, mi cuerpo, mi todo
y te quize tanto que todo lo di por pensar solo en ti
y dime que hago si ya desperte y me muero por verte
no quiero vivir
Te deje mi amor, mi cariño, mis ojos, mi cuerpo, mi todo
y te quize tanto que todo lo di por pensar solo en ti
y dime que hago si ya desperte y me muero por verte
no quiero vivir si no puedo verte....

Mi amor, si no es contigo
Estoy perdido, no sé vivir
Mi amor, dejate amar
No puedo esperar, dame tu amor
Cuando te vi supe que serias solo para mi
El corazon me robaste al verte con tu seduccion
Yo quisiera conquistarte
Esta noche amarte hasta la luz del sol, solos, tu y yo
Mi amor, si no es contigo
Estoy perdido sin ti, no puedo vivir, no sé vivir
Mi amor dejate amar, no puedo esperar
Dame tu amor
No sé controlar
Las ganas de que un dia tu me llegues a besar
No hay nada que hacer
Cuando el impulso manda, no se puede detener
Estoy loco por tenerte
Por saber que ya eres mia de verdad sin condicion
Mi amor, si no es contigo
Estoy perdido sin ti no puedo vivir, no sé vivir
Mi amor dejate amar, no puedo esperar
Dame tu amor
Mi amor si no es contigo
Estoy perdido sin ti no puedo vivir, no sé vivir
Mi amor dejate amar, no puedo esperar
Dame tu amor
Mi amor si no es contigo
Estoy perdido sin ti no puedo vivir, no sé vivir
Mi amor dejate amar, no puedo esperar

Mi Amor si no es contigo
estoy perdido no se vivir
Mi Amor dejate amar
no puedo esperar
dame tu amor
Cuando te vi supe que serias solo para mi
el corazon me robaste al verte con tu seduccion
yo quisiera conquistarte
esta noche amarte hasta la luz del sol
solos tu y yo
*CORO*
Mi Amor si no es contigo
estoy perdido sin ti no puedo vivir, no se vivir
Mi Amor dejate amar, no puedo esperar
dame tu amor
No se controlar
las ganas de que un dia tu me llegues a besar
no hay nada que hacer
cuando el impulso manda no se puede detener
estoy loco por tenerte
por saber que ya eres mia de verdad sin condicion
*CORO* x3

Enseñame a vivir,
a olvidar que me olvidaste y a seguir,
a aceptar que nada he sido para ti,
a no necesitarte, a ser como antes fui
Enseñame a confiar
que otro amor despues del tuyo llenara
el vacio que ha quedado en tu lugar
a no despertar llorando porque te volvi a encontrar
en mis sueños
*CORO*
Estar sin ti
es no saber a donde voy
es despertar sin ver el sol
es no tener una razon para poder vivir
es renuncair a ser feliz
Estar sin ti es conocer la soledad
es convivir con la ansieda
de no saber si volveras
es quererse morir y no poderlo conseguir
Enseñame a mentir,
a esconder mi sufrimienrto y sonreir
a arrancarme tu recuerdo de raiz
a no necesitarte a ser como antes
A no despertar lñorando
porque te volvi a encontrar
en mis sueños
*CORO*
Estar sin ti
es no saber a donde voy
es despertar sin ver el sol
es no tener una razon para poder vivir
es renuncair a ser feliz
Estar sin ti es conocer la soledad
es convivir con la ansieda
de no saber si volveras
es quererse morir y no poderlo conseguir

Quedate aqui
Que no se acabe este momento nunca
Quiero sentir, tu cuerpo llevandome hasta la luna
Junto a ti quiero vivir, quedate aqui
Entregate sin miedo y con locura
Confia en mi
Te juro que no soy un aventura
Junto a mi seras feliz
Si algun dia me faltaras no sabria continuar
Hasta el fin del tiempo solo quiero estar
Amandonos, uniendonos en uno por amor
Desnudos de conciencia y de pudor, ohh, tu y yo
Amandonos, dejando que el deseo y la pasion
Nos lleven sin censura a una explosion, ohh, tu y yo
Siempre amandonos
Quedate aqui
Promete que nunca has de dejarme
Quedate en mi
Por siempre con un beso inolvidable
Junto a ti quiero morir
Si algun dia me faltaras no sabria continuar
Hasta el fin del tiempo solo quiero estar
Amandonos, uniendonos en uno por amor
Desnudos de conciencia y de pudor, ohh, tu y yo
Amandonos, dejando que el deseo y la pasion
Nos lleven sin censura a una explosion, ohh, tu y yo

Like freshly tilled red shale from jersey The mind splinters in the blades Medicinal communion daily Cod liver for the brain A dark mangled psyche Transfusions of advice The doctor is not in He¹s hiding from the Whine The telltale stretch marks on my eardrums A record of their tears A thousand violins are playing Who cares? Responsibility ignored for brief salvation Chained to the nursery, my open invitation

One dead is enough blood on our hands, but who am I to say?/ Sticks and stones may break his bones but names just show your ignorance/ Murder in the first at the DMX show and what was Rich to do?/ It's not a case of blacks and whites/ This time it's gray, there is no right/ He shut down and you stabbed him in the back/ You can't call him 'racist' for fun/ Thoughtless slander is not allowed/ He did his very best just for you/ I think some goddamn respect is due/ (See Rich avoid more violence/ See you -- a bunch of selfish youth)/ We can't find the truth on our own/ We need all the help we can get

So here we are: our familiar place Our shouting match, our contest To see if we can prove the others¹ wrong decree Say what? No, I didn¹t ask you What the fuck are you trying to prove? Every time we fight turns into what we will deny Say it¹s okay, say I¹m all right Never happened, covered up with smiles and laughs Why do we go mad? I don¹t know, Œcause we¹re at the end of our rope So, ten months from now when you are far away from me Our lives will change When we look back what will we say? I can¹t stand this Do you know me? I don¹t think you realize at all that we can do this We¹ve been through this so many times before And I hate it when we can¹t communicate the general state of our lives And I¹m falling, my fingers slipping off We¹re at the end of our rope and we don¹t have to beŠ

My words always lose their meaning 'cause I talk too much/ Hers were always too profound 'cause silence was her crutch/ 'Don't worry' she said, 'Life is too short and you're too serious'/ I will always be half-hearted just because she's not what I can't have/ If I told the whole truth now, it would ruin everything I ever said/ One more half lie to justify, I'll twist the truth until I'm dead/ Now we fell through the threshold last night/ One day closer to dying and one more old man here to say: 'Don't waste your life away!'/ I looked back with such disdain at 20 years gone down the drain/ Two decades of arrogance drowns out my newfound impetus/ Every day I treaded life/ She got swept up in my tide/ How do I apologize for ruining our lives?/

I, the drifter, wandered through the marketplace when the Queen's royal procession passed on through the land/ The bourgeoisie paused when she looked upon my face and she took my hand/ Now I know I shouldn't fuck with royalty/ I'll just stay in the peasant class, that's fine with me/ I'll find some way to shut my heart down and live peacefully/ I used to crown her 'Queen of the World' in my mind/ But for some reason I never became the King/ Just some old Jester who performs for scraps and rinds/ It didn't get me a thing/ What a waste to spend my time in that Queen's court/ I've been replaced by another Jester, that's for sure/ So I'll just stomp on her tiara and I'll smash it up

And so she said to me, ³I¹m looking at the skylight² And at the break of midnight One second everything will change And I¹ll be breaking all your rules, right? Those rules you hold so dearly Don¹t tell me everything¹s okay that¹s easier for you to say The grass, the life, is so much greener on your side Of the adventures I could choose I¹d pick the one that ends with you If I could, if I could But you¹re gone and it¹s just chapter 3 So nothing tells me what you¹re about And why did I have to lay myself down For you to beat down like some Ringling clown So why did I have toŠ Yours truly drinks this one alone so he can get some sleep at night Yeah right, great nights As if rest ever came to me. My sleepless nights, my coffee days Somehow you still get in my way If you knew, but you don¹t So if you asked you couldn¹t say So nothing tells me what you¹re about And why did I have to lay myself down For you to beat down like some Ringling clown So why did I have toŠ Don¹t tell me it¹s okay

A churning, sweaty room in this broken town The kids are swinging from the rafters, the band¹s burning the place down A gallery of sonic art, a place where the sound of our laughter¹s only matched by the guitars You¹re welcome here, at our open house, the community suite Now come in off the street They came to shut it down, they came to scoff They came with fingers in their ears, that seems to be part of their jobs What they don¹t see, what they don¹t know, is that our music makes a family and we are already home Thathorates have no respect for our own good This is our place to sing, dance and create a life, a life worth living It¹s either here or on the streets This is the only place to be breathe the air that¹s free from Thathorates Our space They haven¹t tried to understand Thathorates can¹t evict our hearts Though they can try to bar our doors We¹ll take it backŠwe¹ll find a way Shut down, build it back up This is our urgency Forced out, breakin¹ back in State of emergency We¹ve got to give it life each time they shut it down because I¹m tired of saying there¹s nothing to do in this town

The world¹s completely fucked Everything has been sold off We¹re so far from what we want But we only agree on what is wrong Down at the local city hall Latest catastrophe Corporate-eco-brutality You see a rally of the protest groups To fight the evil of the Suits Or just here for new recruits? To push their narrow agendas Good luck ŒCause if they stay divided and they¹re dreaming of perfection Then they¹ll never tear it down Tear it Down

l 20 minutes to make a connecting flight through brussels back to the states/ Stuck in the back of the passport control line -- a sudden breeding ground for nationalist hate/ The american contingent was calling out for blood, saying, 'Those africans are holding this up! Where's the line for U.$.?'/ I should've could've would've told them all to go to hell, but.../ Not wanting to miss my plane, I hopped onto their wagon train, waving our blue books like american flags/ More concerned with making my flight than speaking up for what was right/ I joined the americentric crowd/ I couldn't defend!/ A maternal figure stared and sighed as the ami's muscled into line and she cast me a disparaging glance/ I was humbled by our foreign exchange, as her eyes said to me: 'Son, you're no revolutionary!'/ I couldn't defend/ The piece of land where you were made doesn't mean you deserve to be paid some extra respect from the rest of the world/ That passport clutched tight in your hand doesn't make you more of a man, so don't bother getting your flag unfurled/ We're obligated to defend against nationalist racism when it rears its ugly head/ In brussels it was 4th and 10 and I dropped the ball once again/ But now I'm on defense/ (Why don't you give up your pride? Just give it up!)

It¹s come that time again The signal is the snowfall I¹ll make it through another year But without you there is none I sleep so close to where we used to be Now I wake at night and wonder why you aren¹t here And it sounds oh so tempting But it doesn¹t sound like me at all Can I think of anyone at all? It¹s come that time again The signal is the snowfall I¹ll make it through another year But without you there isŠ A need to rehabilitate and socially remediate This five-toed sloth who¹s locked inside Metropolis, four-cornered room Call them home or call them tomb, I¹ll think I¹ll skip this snowball fight

Your life¹s no longer depraved Now that you know what you crave Well that¹s just great But there¹s still more space Let¹s get Nike tattoos the size of my new shoes and we¹ll look really fine Let¹s get yummy soft drinks in our public schools so every little kid gets a math classroom with a neat Coke sign Let¹s rig the Grand Canyon with a sweet Jumbotron to make it interesting Let¹s sell the strips of our home computer screens to some start-up Internet companies Œcause hey, man, it¹s free Beepers, cell phones, make me sure that I will never be alone Billboards, TV, let me know Œbout things I¹m gonna wanna need Things I¹m gonna wanna need I think I¹m gonna wanna need that

Answers they preach Wasting their time No second chance To live thisŠ Thirty kids outside and we¹re just about to play A minivan pulls up and two prophets hop out to say ³Repent your sins Get on your knees and pray ŒCause our god is the only way² All that I could think is the only thing that¹s sure is doubt ŒCause that¹s about the only thing we can depend on So if you want security, no, you won¹t find that here with me And still our time is tick-tocking away A brief existence and then throw our bodies in a grave And then what next? We each have what we believe But who knows which way it¹s gonna be All that I proclaim is the only thing that¹s sure is doubt ŒCause that¹s about the only thing we can depend on But if you need an insurance plan, then I think their god will be your man Answers they preach Wasting their time No second chance To live this life No chance to make this right when we¹re wasting time Yeah, theorize and proselytize, but don¹t forget about this life Wasting your time It¹s really hard to find meaning when answers are the only thing you see

And still despite what she fails to say They¹ll keep on keep on pushing on like strangers And still he tries to make himself believe That it ever meant something But there¹s no try, there¹s only do And that he did Tearing at the seams Where nostalgia¹s sewn to thought One more stitch to come undone Until this sweatshirt¹s overwrought While she crossed her heart He just hoped to die Ignored the writing on the wall Now there¹s needles in his eyes Which makes it easier to see‹they¹re control freaks all the way Don¹t throw caution to the wind No, put it in a vase Keep it in the sun Water it each day Comforts away the pain Of wanting something else Of wanting something more Anything else Everything more

Pope Urban II spoke, obedient sheep agreed/ Their swords spilled blood, dripping hypocrisy/ Christ said to turn the other cheek, so they twisted their eyes away from the Islam dead/ I bet god was so ashamed/ Crusades against free thought, they killed off all non-christians in god's name/ spanish Missions accomplished -- purified, converted the world to one faith/ How can you fight when you don't know the truth?/ The world is wrong, and your church is right, it's always been that way/ From inquisition, to the american political stage/ You use the bible as justification to oppress women and gays and kill 'heathens' throughout time/ Don't you think 2000 years is long enough for god to change her mind?/ How can you fight?/ Can't you leave our minds alone?/ Will religion ever learn from its bloody mistakes?/ They still fight holy wars/ I thought loving one another was the way into heaven's doors/ How can you fight?

'If it get's you anything it's nothing, and what's there will leave in time'/ Go away/ 'The time and effort that you put in is just part of your life wasted'/ I long to forget these words and do what I want to do/ I will not forgo my dreams and what they mean to me/ 'There's no living where you're going, you'll just die a quicker death/ This is not the life we intended for you...'/ Then what was it?/ 'Or anyone who's sensible, responsible'/ Do I have to, too?/ I long to forget these words and do what I want to do/ I'll get there all on my own because you've never been there, So fuck you two/ So fuck you, too/ I hope that you understand that I'll never follow your plans for me

Don¹t tell me I¹m imprisoned Don¹t tell me this ain¹t heaven Gaze up at that billboard, she¹s staring down at me Product X in her hands Yes this is the thing that I need I¹ll get this, I¹ll get her, yes with this she can¹t resist me We¹ll make love, Œcause I have Product X which I bought with the cash I make working at my shitty job just to make cash to buy Product X¹s like that A smile on my face and my hands to the sky ŒCause I just cut a deal that will free me for life I tattooed the Product X logo upon my forehead now my days of working are long gone They pay me just to walk around I can¹t wear a hat, I¹m contractually bound To bring up Product X to everyone I see But I still have my dignity you can¹t take that away from me ŒCause my paycheck is fat just for sportin¹ some ink And I spend the cash to score the trash I see advertised on my friends¹ foreheads My face in my hands, my tears fall at my feet Product X went bankrupt, now my head¹s obsolete But a promising meeting with the tattoo guy Has me planning to alter it to Product Y This tattoo¹s my salvation I¹m free now can¹t you see that? I¹m freeŠ

How much power do we really have?/ And can we really change the world?/ United we can take it back but divided we fall/ No, we don't have a fucking chance when it's a free-for-all/ Don't be scared, look into their eyes/ Don't passively choke on their lies/ You're serving corporate sponsored fries/ This class war has been supersized/ Swiftly denied all chance to gain control...alienation/ We're only working so they can meet their goals...avarice/ How much power do they really have?/ And can they really keep us down?/ You're suckling at the corporate parent's breast ingesting 'truth'/ Spit out the pacifier and let's organize the troops/ Even if we found real democracy there'd still be more to fight and the 'free world' still won't be right 'til institutions come falling to their knees/ Their Black Friday will soon bleed red, skyscrapers razed, they'll all be dead because I've mustered the strength to raise my fist in the air and I'll fight 'til the day when we all can learn to share/ It's not over yet

Charles holds his picture up to show 'Excuse me did I do this wrong?' Tugging at my pantleg I tell him there¹s no wrong in art He frowns and squints in disbelief Answer: Unsatisfactory Always asking me for the right and wrong Charles wants to know how to sing the songs How to sing along Can I make him love his own melodies? Children scattered Œround the classroom floor Like blank pages on tablecloths I tried to sing them all to sleep Charles at my chair, he can¹t lay down Too excited to be alive And he wants some answers out of me A blank sheet of paper and the crayons clutched tightly in our hands This is what we dream This is what we dream Wipe the slate clean Now let¹s begin Used to thing I could save the world With a sign and my fist up in the air Now the blank page is in front of me And the task has me so fuckin¹ scared Scrubbing the paint from my fingers Stains bled from a child¹s psyche Mixes like blood into water Secretly, as if someone¹s watching Regurgitate like a machine? I strive for more than leading sheep Scribbling wildly on their futures How did I become the teacher? I¹m struggling hard not to return To teachings I¹ve tried to unlearn

Lacking subtlety and lyric poetry, a reluctant stand on stage And finely adorned in punk rock uniforms Œcause it¹s more radical that way Someone break out the hook and yank this guy out of the pulpit I¹ve nothing new to say, just recycling old trash So maybe I should just hum The words I screech in garbled speech are not grand philosophy But I¹ll write them down but keep them underground Œcause it¹s subversive that way Now I¹m blowing smoke at some punk rock show like some televangelist They got us amplified like these feeble cries should have extra emphasis They got us amplified If you scream without this thing do you still make a sound? Could it be that we each need the sound of our own decay To come pouring out ten times as loud on some shitty PA? Could it be that we all need our passion and our hope To come pouring out ten times as loud at some all ages show? They got us amplified

This quarter¹s worth so much more here Potential energy Placed into his hardened hand Exploding possibility Donation married to some hope This coin will be the last he needs One shot go yank the slot and ask Is he any different from me? What¹s the story now? Mistakes along the way Napping on concrete Time to defibrillate Biggest little town Fortunes made every day At least that¹s what the signs all say Tearing earth and rock to shreds Making room for 10,000 beds Neon lights so bright you could never go to sleep But why would you want to? 99 cent ham n¹ eggs All-you-can-eat lunch buffets And I can hardly tell the difference My brain¹s cramped up from anxious fun Oh shit look at the loot we¹ve won Take our 4 bucks and run

Nowhere. That¹s my new name since I left town Freeways. Kinda glad the road map flew out of the window Driftwood. Too serious about destination Jukebox. Who in their right minds would let someone else pick the songs to the soundtrack of their lives? I was never really into radio I stopped taking requests a long time ago But I work hard to do more than tread water Who wrote this script because it¹s making me barf Not even starving actors take these parts Rewind. The function my life is most lacking Streamlined. Smoothed out by the sandy wear of expectation Flagpole. It¹s gonna fly the quilt I¹m sewing out of questions Dance steps. Who in their right minds would let someone else choreograph the way they move their feet? I was never very big on discipline Cutting all these anchor ropes might take all day But I try to do more than just tread water Who wrote this script? It¹s pathetic See how they react when we reject it We can say 'no more prisons' yet we hide in our own Built on our fear of the unknown There¹s only one thing we can doŠ Make a jailbreak Yellow blinking lights at State and Stewart streets Symbolism¹s boots kicking me squarely in the teeth Like my nightmares where the porcelain crumbles, leaving me with fangs Not a monster, but a freak, a freak who feels the shame Of rooting for 'perfection,' of rescinding my choice What¹s a million dollar smile if it can¹t emit your voice? But like a strobe light at a nightclub, like stinging tear gas taking toll Like the reek of rotting garbage, I¹m learning to take control So turn that down, stop humming along Today we¹re singing an unfamiliar song And don¹t worry how far we¹ve allowed ourselves to be misled I think I see a U-Turn up ahead

When I grew up and went to school, they stuffed my face with apple pie/ 'Stand up and show some respect for your country and for those who've died'/ But that was the last time I sucked on that poison/ I can't pledge allegiance to the stars and stripes again/ We're one United State divided up by class and race/ One nation under god...by whose god should I be awed?/ In Washington, they'll start a war just to cover up their own ass/ And we're the world's policemen, so, hell, why not bring back the draft?/ But it's just one big show of police brutality/ Conquest and world dominance: our foreign policy/ I'm free to take all I can get and I'm free to starve out in the streets/ I'm free to live the American dream and I'm free to be a bigoted freak/ But I'm NOT free to think, they took that right from me/ I gotta pay to get my way 'cause freedom isn't free/ We're one United State divided up by class and race/ One nation under god...by whose god should I be awed?/ My country, I ask thee...where is my liberty to act on what I've learned?/ Now you'll see the flags I've burned!

I¹m running home so I won¹t miss my Optimus Dinobots, Constructicons, Soundwave, Bumblebee and Chip Starscream teaches me about overthrowing the system I¹m learning grammar from Grimlock and leadership from Megatron My best friends every day All afternoon, 19 inch screen One of us went off the air Was it them? No, probably me I didn¹t grow up but I grew out of that phase Now I turn on the TV and these new cartoons seem so lame I guess now is a good time to admit that I¹m no longer ten But oh what I would give to be back with my animated friends My best friends every day All afternoon, 19 inch screen One of us went off the air Was it them? No, probably me We¹re a bad computerized spin-off of what once was A robot in disguise, is that what I¹ve become? The last vestiges of my childhood years are through Keep reminiscing‹that¹s all we can look forward to

Braced against the trench Hand clutches the wound Crimson flows over fingers Last breath is consumed And he joins a million more But he fights for the other team, so who cares? While fighting overseas ³NewsTV² It¹s a shooting spree Why do we wonder how (we got burned) Our kids ever learned to kill? We¹ve heard the Pope apologize But he won¹t bring back all those lives He¹s just a figurehead Politicians aren¹t known to resurrect WaitŠ¹til the undropped nukes all rust And the casualties are dust Will the vets be proud of every fired round? Probably Nice work boys, this next round¹s on me And the bombs come raining down

Si llueve y buscas alguien que amar
Alguien como tu que te haga confiar
No busques mas, estoy en tu mirar
Frente a ti y deja en ti florecer mi existir
Yo te prometo que no has de sufrir
No busques mas, estoy en tu mirar
Frente a ti
Ven a mi, amor no demores
Ven a mi, a solas no llores
Quiero que de mi te enamores
No tardes, y ven a mi
Y vivire por tu amor
Si estas a mi lado mi mundo es mejor
No busques mas estoy en tu mirar
Frente a ti
Y tu seras en mi la luz
Lo que mas quiero seras siempre tu
No busques mas estoy en tu mirar
Frente a ti
Ven a mi, amor no demores
Ven a mi, a solas no llores
Quiero que de mi te enamores
No tardes, y ven a mi
Ven a mi, amor no demores
Ven a mi, a solas no llores
Quiero que de mi te enamores
No tardes, y ven a mi
Ven a mi, amor no demores
Ven a mi, a solas no llores
Quiero que de mi te enamores

Aunque no quieras verme
Hoy estoy aqui
Buscando tu perdon
Como pude perder tu amor
El estar sin ti es un gran error
Desde el dia en que te fuiste
Mi mundo se paro
Sin ti yo no se quien soy
Porque tu eres mi destino
Una en un millon
Porque tienes que creerme
Te hablo con el corazon
Tu me completas cuando te miro
Cuando me tocas siento que vivo
Tu me completas con cada beso
Cuando me voy y cuando regreso
Tu me completas con tus palabras
Cuando me dices cuanto me amas
Tu completabas toda mi vida
Pero tu adios la dejo vacia
Si supieras mi vida
Como estoy sin ti
Muriendome de amor
Recordarte me hace sufrir
Yo no se vivir scon este dolor
Desde el dia en que te fuiste
Mi mundo se paro
Sin ti yo no se quien soy
Porque tu eres mi destino
Una en un millon
Porque tienes que creerme
Te hablo con el corazon
Tu me completas cuando te miro
Cuando me tocas siento que vivo
Tu me completas con cada beso
Cuando me voy y cuando regreso
Tu me completas con tus palabras
Cuando me dices cuanto me amas
Tu completabas toda mi vida
Pero tu adios la dejo vacia
Tu me completas cuando te miro
Cuando me tocas siento que vivo
Tu me completas con cada beso
Cuando me voy y cuando regreso
Tu me completas con tus palabras
Cuando me dices cuanto me amas
Tu completabas toda mi vida
Pero tu adios la dejo vacia
Tu me completas cuando te miro
(Tu me completas me haces sentir)
Cuando me tocas siento que vivo
(Si tu te vas yo no puedo vivir)
Tu me completas con cada beso
(Tu me completas me haces sentir)
Cuando me voy y cuando regreso
(Si tu te vas yo no puedo vivir)
Tu me completas con tus palabras
(Tu me completas me haces sentir)
Cuando me dices cuanto me amas
(Si tu te vas yo no puedo vivir)
Tu completabas toda mi vida
(Si tu te vas yo no puedo vivir)
Pero tu adios la dejo vacia

Prometeme en un beso, que nunca has de dejarme
Prometeme al amarte, que en ti voy a quedarme
Prometeme tu historia y todos tus secretos
Prometeme despacio la magia de tus sueños
Ahora que por cierto las puertas de mi alma
Estan abiertas solamente para ti
Prometeme que ahora si vas a vivir en mi
Eternamente en mi
Prometeme en silencio, el beso de tus labios
Prometeme por siempre tu vida en un abrazo
Prometeme la luna
Y como algo imposible prometeme tu amor
Prometeme que nadie podra hacerme olvidarte
Y por si acaso un dia tuvieras que marcharte
Prometeme que nunca, no importa la distancia
Te alejaras de mi
Prometeme las cosas que nadie sabe darme
Prometeme un segundo de fe a media tarde
Prometeme tu historia y todos tus secretos
Prometeme despacio la magia de tus sueños
Ahora que por cierto las puertas de mi alma
Estan abiertas solamente para ti
Prometeme que ahora si vas a vivir en mi
Eternamente en mi
Prometeme en silencio, el beso de tus labios
Prometeme por siempre tu vida en un abrazo
Prometeme la luna
Y como algo imposible prometeme tu amor
Prometeme que nadie podra hacerme olvidarte
Y por si acaso un dia tuvieras que marcharte
Prometeme que nunca, no importa la distancia

Para que
Me dices que tu quieres regresar
Para que
Me llamas cuando al fin logre olvidar
Para que
Si ya una vez yo todo te lo di
Para que
Si me adapte de nuevo a estar sin ti
Para que
Hoy no te basta con romperme el corazon
Y con burlarte en mi cara de mi amor
Con tus mentiras
Para que
Si no me quedan sentimientos para ti
Porque una vez mi vida entera te la di
Dime tu para que
Para que
Despues de todo el tiempo que perdi
Para que
Prefiero eni acordarme que te conoci
Para que
Si ya una vez yo todo te lo di
Para que
Si me adapte de nuevo a estar sin ti
Para que
Hoy no te basta con romperme el corazon
Y con burlarte en mi cara de mi amor
Con tus mentiras
Para que
Si no me quedan sentimientos para ti
Porque una vez mi vida entera te la di

Sin tocarte yo se que quemas
Sin hablarte yo se que piensas
Sin besarte se que sabes a miel
Sin buscarte yo te encontre
Sin tu pelo no habria cielo
Sin tus brazos solo hay fracaso
Sin tenerte te imagine
Sin mirarte te di mujer
Para amarte
Me sobran locuras y sueños
Mil y una aventura para ser tu dueño
Para amarte con loca pasion encendida
Solo hace falta que tu me lo pidas
Para amarte
Yo guardo un lugar en el pecho
Para hacerte olvidar el dolor que te han hecho
Para amarte
Me sobran las ganas y el fuego
Dame la señal y despega mi vuelo
Mi amor para amarte
Mi amor para amarte
Sin tu aliento yo nada siento
Sin tus dedos no tengo credo
Sin tus ojos no hay ilusion
Sin ti para mi corazon
Sin tu pelo no habria cielo
Sin tus brazos solo hay fracaso
Sin tenerte te imagine
Sin mirarte te di mujer
Para amarte
Me sobran locuras y sueños
Mil y una aventura para ser tu dueño
Para amarte con loca pasion encendida
Solo hace falta que tu me lo pidas
Para amarte
Yo guardo un lugar en el pecho
Para hacerte olvidar el dolor que te han hecho
Para amarte
Me sobran las ganas y el fuego
Dame la señal y despega mi vuelo
(Mi amor para darte)
Sobran locuras y sueños
(Mi amor para darte)
Para ser tu amor y tu dueño
(Para amarte)
Te doy mi pasion encendida
(Mi amor para amarte)
Y todo lo que tu me pidas
(Para amarte)
Si tu me dejas amarte
(Mi amor para amarte)
Mi amor nunca voy a dejarte
(Para amarte)
Me sobran las ganas y el fuego
(Mi amor para amarte)
Para ser tu amor y tu dueño
(Para amarte)
