I've tried to ask the question
Must be a million answers that just aren't there
You try to find yourself and I'll try to live my life
Well, I just don't care
Well, I just don't care
Take a look at your life
Tell me can you say you've done no wrong?
Well, ask yourself the question
Do you realize where you belong?
'Cause I've been down
And I've been out
And I've been there
Well, I've been down
A...
I'll be your loaded dice
You're holding all the cards
You set the tone whenever I'm with you
You make up all the rules
In this game of fools
I see your signals change
They go from green to red
It's always stop and go
When the colors are changing
Never let on, never let on
Look to the left, look to the right
Why can't you look me straight in the eye
Chorus
10-9-8
I'm always counting down
You fe...
I've tried to ask the question
Must be a million answers that just aren't there
You try to find yourself and I'll try to live my life
Well, I just don't care
Well, I just don't care
Take a look at your life
Tell me can you say you've done no wrong?
Well, ask yourself the question
Do you realize where you belong?
'Cause I've been down
And I've been out
And I've been there
Well, I've been down
A...
14 hours to go
And the waiting's almost done
When I get back home
You're going to be the only one
Staring at the lights or staring at the sun
Everyday another fight or ill to overcome
Another day another place
Forgot the name but not the face
I've been away for too long to remember
14 hours to go
And the waiting's almost done
When I get back home
You're going to be the only one
Suspended anima...
I've tried to ask the question
Must be a million answers that just aren't there
You try to find yourself
I'll try to live my life
I just don't care
Take a look at your life
Tell me can you say you've done no wrong?
Ask yourself the question
Do you realize where you belong?
I've been down
I've been out
I've been there
I've been down this road a thousand times
Nothing ever looks the same
It seem...
It feels like there's nothing I can do
It feels like there's nothing left to do
Always feels like I must
Wait
Just a while
Because "anything worth having is worth the wait"
So it seems
That this waiting's left us somewhere in-between
It feels like there's nothing I can do
It feels like there's nothing left to do
Blind ambition is overrated
Apathetic bored and jaded now
You forget something
I w...
You think that I?m invincible, it?s going to pull me down
You think that I?m invisible, it?s going to pull me down
It?s somewhere I don?t want to go, it?s okay
You think I?m indestructible, it?s going to pull me down
You think that I?m a miracle, it?s going to pull me down
To somewhere I don?t want to go, it?s okay
I don?t know what you want from me
But it?s probably already gone
I don?t care ...
You're calling out
And no one pays attention
Looks like everything is still the same
It's nothing we can change
Charity is an illusion
No one really owns a thing
Complication and confusion
To ease your suffering and pain
-----------------
I took a hammer, and a chisel iron cold,
And had my dreams engraved on a mountaintop of stone.
But the mountain crumbled my dreams in seas of blue;
There's nothing in this world as forever as you.
I touched the earth with a question in my hand,
I asked two holy men to help me understand.
But the preachers quarreled as to just what I should do;
There's nothing in this world as...
You haven't heard a word of what I said
I'd give anything to get inside your head
You act as if there's nothing left to say
I guess everything is easier that way
I know that you don't want to think about it anyway
I won't let you hide from this
Even with your best defense
You can't deny the way you feel about me
I know you think about it all of time
But there's nothing left to make you change ...
Big lies
Surprise
You've thought of everything
It builds your character you know
No way
Okay
So what's the price you pay?
Too late to realize you're broke
Do you think that everything worked out?
It's good to see, you've finally made it
Can't you see, you're lying to yourself?
But this was all your choice
Do you think it makes a difference now?
But this was all your choice
It's good to see it ...
Running out of time again
Where did you go wrong this time?
When your problems overwhelm you
Go get drunk it's party time
Take a quaalude, relax your mind
Relax your body too
Run from problems but
You'll never get away
No one loves you, and you
Wonder why?
Sitting there with your mouth full of beer
Your eyes are glazed, your face is red
Who's gonna pick you up and use you for tonight?
And when...
Try to convince you that you can't live without one
Hey look around man everybody's got one
So hurry up get your dollar bills together
They're going to try and get you something even better
You're not so sure but you heard it's great
You get there first so you won't be late
Everybody else will have to wait in line
I overestimated you
You knew that I probably would
We're so predictable
We've be...
What if I'm right and you are wrong?
What if you knew it all along?
What if I figured out that I did not belong?
What if it always bothered me?
What if I never did believe?
Would it be wrong if I decided I should leave?
If I pretended I was blind, struck it from my mind
Would it still be there?
What if I'd do anything to make it seem all right
It's all right
What if it's all inside my head?
Wh...
When I'm out walking I strut my stuff yeah I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite I just might stop to check you out
Let me go on like I blister in the sun
Let me go on big hands I know your the one
Body and beats I stain my sheets I don't even know why
My girlfriend she's at the end she is starting to cry
Let me go on like I blister in the sun
Let me go on big hands I know your the one...
I'll have a Blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same, dear, if you're not here with me
I'll have a Blue Christmas, that's certain
And when that blue heartache starts hurtin'
You'll be doin' all right with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
Thought that I'd be strong enough for both of us
And you had given up
Is there anybody strong enough for you
She said she's scared of waking up
She's realized it's all been a mistake
She didn't have to be afraid
But you walked out on me
It doesn't really matter what you said
'cause I've tried
To turn this water into wine
It doesn't have to be so hard to understand
The things that we should do
...
You could say I might find it difficult
To show it on the outside
From far away
I should seem as ordinary as would seem the truth
But all we find
Dishonesty and lies
It's hard to recognize the truth
And why can't I discover what the reason is
That I know there's something left that I should prove
I didn't mean to burden you
Is there something more to this?
I didn't mean to burden you
Is there ...
People say that it's impossible to fly
But you don't know what I'm thinking
Don't want to be just like the other hundred guys
Yeah you don't know what I'm thinking
Can't change the world?
Can't change the whole world?
You say it's crumbling all around you
And you're trying to get out
People say that out of sight is out of mind
But you don't know what I'm thinking
Don't want to listen to the ig...
We stood in your room and laughed out loud.
Suddenly the laughter died and we were caught in an eye to eye.
We sat on the floor and did we sit close. I could smell your thoughts and thought. do you want to touch a lot like me? too scared to say a thing. I left your house and kicked myself. I put those
Ings on a shelf to die. I guess I'm not a gambling type but think of what the two of us had l...
You're never going to see what you like
You're never going to wake up and change your mind
You're never going to keep what you hold
You won't accomplish anything on your own
You can't have what you wanted
You can't have what you wanted
You can't have what you wanted
You can't have what you wanted
So make up your mind, come to your senses
You'll never win if you don't bend
It's not so complicat...
You looked around but it wasn't there
You can't ignore the voice of reason
"You can't be what you want, so you better be what you are"
You fought your way to an inch of freedom
You did your best and they didn't care
You've had your share and you have your reasons
"You can't be what you want, so you better be what you are"
So we begin our story
Beleaguered and taken down
Everybody wants a piece...
I don't owe you anything
What now? Not again
You're a person I will never comprehend
I've listened, I've tried, I can't change enough
To make you change your mind
I don't owe you anything
Reality is what you want to see
It shouldn't make a difference to me
I put my trust in what you had to say
It didn't make a difference anyway
I know you've tried your quot;very bestquot;
And I'm so glad
Thank you so much
Disappointment is what you've made this
Expectations overrated
Disappointment is what you've made this
My ambition is so deflated
Reality is different for me
My eyes are opene...
You don't know a thing about me
Is there something that you should know?
I can tell you what you want to hear
Let your inhibitions just go, go
No, you don't know what you will give up
No, you don't know what you will give up
You don't know what you want
It may take you years to find out
You don't know what you need
Something that may never come to you
Trust is something that comes easy
When yo...
And you might think it's possible
For me to think the same way that you do
I've figured out there's nothing I can do
To change my life and nothing ever will
And you might think it's reasonable
For me to just accept the way it is
I've heard it said, there's nothing I can do
To change this world, I wish it wasn't true
There are those who say the world is ending every day
But I want the chance, I...
Do you want to make a difference?
Do you wonder what would happen if you don't?
Do you need just a little push?
Do you try to change?
Do you think about the other guy?
Do you want just one good reason why you should?
Do you only think about yourself?
Do you want to be left alone?
You're running out of time and I don't see a change in you
And I don't think you're gonna make it
You're running ou...
I'm standing here on the ground
The sky above won't fall down
See no evil in all directions
Resolution of happiness, tings have been dark for too long
Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me
Don't change for you
Don't change a thing for me
I found a love that I had lost
It was gone for too long
Hear no evil in all directions
Execution of bitterness, message received loud and clear
Don...
God knows I've tried
I've waited in spite of myself
There's nothing to hide
Well, I need you like no one else
I'm sick of trying to figure out
Where I went wrong
I can't believe these words you say
Don't you turn away from me
I can't say another word I haven't said before
Don't you turn away from me
Don't ask for my apologies I haven't anymore, heh
God knows I'm tired
Of lies and denials from ...
So what if I'm just a little apprehensive
So what if I'm not exactly what I've led you to believe
It doesn't mean a thing
It's a total lie that we're expected to believe
There's no such thing as a level playing field
And I've never been one much for dependency
It's a fraud, your view of equality
So what if you don't believe the double standard
So what about everybody who comes after, are they ...
Day after day
You go on living while I wait
It still feels the same
I'm stuck for answers while you place the blame
I guess it comes to this again
So what's there left to say
You thought you'd feel no different
Now that everything has changed
I guess it comes to this again
What difference does it make?
That you and I think better
Of the choices that we've made
It's fading away
I don't remember...
In a flash I'll change the universe
Or at least the world I knew
I'm so sick and tired of watching those
Who say and never do
You're right
And this waiting seems to last for hours
As I wait impatiently
And it's hard to find the strength inside
To be who I should be
You're right
Why should I believe the words
You're telling me are true?
It doesn't seem like anybody feels the way I do
I'm not to...
Have you heard them talk about it?
You say they're wrong but they know all about it
Have you tried another story?
We're tired of all the lies and allegories
Every single thing's your fault
There you are not really jaded
You've learned to live being underrated
But they don't know just what you're made of
Because of them who knows how you will end up?
With you it's always something
When everyone...
We've got a lot of questions
We've got a lot to learn
I'm tired of solving problems
I've seen many bridges burned
We see it all so clearly
And still we close our eyes
Why should we understand it?
What good is knowing why?
I know that life can be filled with these changes
I know there's times when it feels like I'm falling
But I know something in my life will change again
Again, again, again
No...
Have you heard them talk about it?
You say they're wrong but they know all about it
Have you tried another story?
We're tired of all the lies and allegories
Every single thing's your fault
There you are not really jaded
You've learned to live with being underrated
But they don't know just what you're made of
Because of them who knows how you will end up?
Every single thing's your fault
With yo...
It's really easy if you try
To tell another hundred lies
But I'm not going this time
Just when you think I'm over it
It's getting easy to forget
And I haven't even faced it yet
I never wanted anyone to be so wrong for you
I never wanted anyone to be so wrong for you
I never wanted anyone to be so wrong for you
Stop falling down
I don't have anyone to blame
And I can't make anybody change
And I...
We're ready to go
Ticking like a bomb that's about to blow
It's taking control
Pulling at your feet like an undertow
You don't really know
If you're all that capable
But you've been told
Don't pretend you're stupid
Figure it out
Sort it out
Go make yourself useful
You're better than dead
You really made a mess with the words you said
So easily fed
The flames of the fire rise above your head
Th...
I have given everything
I have questioned my own faith
Disbelief and discontent
I still remember why I wanted this
For you
When you stumble, when you fall
They talk about it all
When you fall apart
Is it right for me to wait?
When it might be too late
And still I play the part
I've pretended I'm alright
I have told a thousand lies
I've become what I despise
I have changed a dozen times
For you...
It's a waste of time
It's a race that can't be won
Call the whole thing off
Well that's easier said than done
And I try to shut it out
And I think I've figured out
That it makes no sense to compare what I've done
So what do I do now that I'm alone?
I've been building up and tearing down
and looking for what never can be found
So what do I do now that I'm alone?
God I tried so hard to get here
...
What's it gonna take to be done?
What's it gonna be right or wrong?
I don't have the strength left to fight
And I don't have to make up my mind
I know you're never wrong
No matter what it takes
Now I know you're not the one
But we all make mistakes, help me out
What's it gonna take to be done?
What's it gonna be right or wrong?
I don't have the strength left to fight
And I don't have to make u...
Close your eyes and try to get to sleep now
Don't you make a peep now
We hear everything
Shut the door and make it clean and neat now
You've been so discreet now
We've seen everything
Inside your heart of hearts you know
Pick yourself up off the floor and stand now
Wash away your sin now
You've got everything
Inside your heart of hearts you know
Will you choose to hid it in your soul?
If it's ...
Heaven is the whole of the heart
And heaven don't tear you apart
Yeah, heaven is the whole of the heart
And heaven don't tear you apart
There's too many kings wanna hold you down
And a world at the window gone underground
There's a hole in the sky where the sun don't shine
And a clock on the wall and it counts my time
And heaven is the whole of the heart
And heaven don't tear you apart
Yeah, h...
Another time, time after time
You make me feel so helpless
I, I never tried to change your mind
I keep it to myself, it's sometimes
I've got to tell you, is it this time?
I'll tell you we've got to go to places
Somewhere I don't mind, it's special
And now you find as time goes by
You're left with nothing
Meaning much the meaning I will have to try
To take your mind to places
I wish that I coul...
I'll never feel again
I'll never feel again
Then I won't have to feel this pain I'm in
If it sounds familiar
Because nothing ever goes the way I've planned
If it sounds peculiar
Then you don't have to try and understand
I'll never feel again
I'll never feel again
Then I won't have to feel this pain I'm in
I'm not a great example
Of everything the world expects of us
I know I'm no exception
I'v...
There's something wrong with me I don't know
if it's not just inside my head
It feels like I'm walking through a dream
I still remember what you said
I know that everything will be alright
It's going to work out for the best
I think there must be something better still
It isn't really so far-fetched
You know I'll go running out
and ruin everything
You know I'll go running out
and ruin everythi...
Get up in the mornin' feelin' might weak
A tossin' and a turnin' well, I had ain't no sleep
Oh baby, what road's our love taking?
To romance or heartbreaking'
Won't you say which way you're gonna go
I gotta know, gotta know, gotta know
Nine and nine make fourteen, four and four make nine
The clock is strikin' thirteen I think I lost my mind
You know it's gettin' aggravatin'
How long can I keep...
Even if it make you want to stop and stare
You'd be better off it you were unaware
Everybody wants to see that it's not them
Focused and unaffected
You'll get what you expected
You're boring and predictable
Doesn't everybody want to get their hands
On everything that they desire?
I know you're not afraid
And I know exactly what you want to be
Even still you want to take what you can't get
You'...
Try not to try
Try not to care
It's really easy once you learn
That no one is listening
Try not to give
Try not to help
You'll do much better for yourself
Because nothing else matters
I know you well by now
You're that good person
Don't be afraid
Don't be naive
You think you're better than me
Well, you're sadly mistaken
I know you well by now
You're that good person
It's all the same inside ou...
I've tried to fake it
I've tried to lie about it
I've tried to take it
There's nothing new about it
I can't take a thing from you
Because I want what I want
And it wouldn't do, I've tried to make it
There's nothing you can say
I used to think
That things were going to be okay
I never wanted to think
There would be another way
Is there another way?
I've tried to fake it
I've tried to lie about ...
Well everybody wants the truth
But everybody lies, yeah everybody lies
Well everybody wants some proof
But everybody's blind so open up your eyes
Well I really don't know much of anything at all
But I'll admit we're all the same
You ask forgiveness and you make the same mistakes
And I'll admit we're all the same
So I say I want to know
Well do these words mean anything?
How can my life
Mean so...
Does anybody see him?
Another set up for the fall
Does anybody hear him?
He's screaming at the same blank wall
And everyone can't be right
But everyone will decide
I'm not afraid of the price I pay
I won't lie down as you walk away
I'm not afraid of the price I pay
I won't lie down as you walk away
I'm sure you must have seen him
I know you must have heard it all
I know you used to be him
Did ...
Moving forwards using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world thrashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace
I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you
Dream of better lives the kind which never hate
...
Well, I didn't want a second chance
Now that's exactly where I am
Back where I didn't want to be
Back where I knew, you'd find me out, out, out
I've never been afraid of you
And I never will admit the truth
And I know there's something I can do
Well, I'm not afraid to face myself
But is it me or something else?
Makes me exactly what I am
That's something I will always doubt, doubt, doubt
I've ...
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man. I'm Popeye the Sailor Man.
I'm strong to the finich, cause I eats me spinach.
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man.
I'm one tough Gazookus, which hates all Palookas.
Wot ain't on the up and square.
I biffs 'em and buffs 'em and always out roughs 'em
but none of 'em gets nowhere.
If anyone dares to risk my "Fisk", It's "Boff" an' it's "Wham" un'erstan'?
So keep "Good Be-hav-or",...
Four year old at play, shot and killed today
Never even had a chance
Seventeen and high, threw away his life
Has a gun to feel like he's a man
Can't have it any other way
Laying in the street, asking for a drink
Doesn't have a place to live
Pregnant at thirteen, still can hear the screams
Something that she never will forget
Can't have it any other way
I'm trying to open my mind
So you can kee...
I think it's starting again
The same thing that happens when
I'm sure what I'm thinking about is right
But I don't know anything
The inhibitions decline
Decided to make up my mind
I'm sure what I'm thinking is right
But I don't know anything
So why are you loking to me for the answers?
It's only the truth if you want to believe in it
Everyone wants to live another life
So many aspirations have...
I've never seen you look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through
Another season passes by you
I never took the smile away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way to look
For someone who is still a child
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
I thought that pain and truth were things that really mattered
But you can'...
Yesterday I got so old
I felt like I would die
Yesterday I got so old
It made me want to cry
Go on, go on, just walk away
Go on, go on, your choice is made
Go on, go on and disappear
Go on, go on, away from here
And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her
In between without you, without you
Yesterday I got so scared
I shivered like a child
Yesterday away fr...
Where did you go?
So far away
It seems like everybody tried to tell you everything
And who are you?
Who are they?
Seems like everybody wants to give themselves away
Three days old
Anway
So you're tired and the inspiration's gone away
Where are you?
In harm's way
Seems like everything is broken
And it feels like I might break
On this ordinary day
Why do we need to change?
When we were perfect y...
I walked through the city limits
Attracted by some force within it
Around a corner where some profit lay
A wire fence where the children play
And I was looking for a friend of mine
Yeah, looking for a friend of mine
Down the dark streets
The houses looked the same
I walked round and round
They nailed me to a train
Had to get away
Trying to find a way
Had to get away
Trying to find a way to get...
You think you're over with it
Don't want to talk about it
I'll tell you something
You don't want to know
So what's the problem with my life?
Don't over complicate it
Let's stop with all this wasting time
I feel you all around
There's nothing else that I can see
Anything is better than nothing
I'll try and try
I won't be denied
I want my chance
I want what's mine
And now that all is said and done
It's kind of hard to hold my tongue
Because you still don't believe you're wrong
I'm not so sure what I would say
If I could talk to you that way
You wouldn't understand
I was foolish from the start
I've tried not to fall apart
It's just like you said but everything is somehow different
I've tried hard not to admit
That there was some truth to it
It's just lik...
I don't know where I belong
All I know is that I'm wrong
I can't wait another day
Make it all just go away
I don't want it today
I don't want to be late
If you knew what I knew
You wouldn't be willing to wait
Don't be fooled by what you read
It's not the same as what you see
You're trying to sell me
And it's something for nothing
I don't want to be late
And all I thought I want I lost it all tonight
Do you know there's only so much you control?
You can try to save my soul if you like
But I'm sure this time it's no different
Did you hear that?
It sounds like I'm losing my faith
Did you feel that?
It feels like I'm so far away
But if I knew what I know now
This wouldn't be so wrong
Now I'm back to where I started from
And if I was sure then I'd be right
But I guess I've lost this fight
Wait until the next time
I can feel it
It feels like my luck's going to change
I can see it
It seems like this time it's ok
And if ...
When we have nothing left to give
There will be no reason for us to live
But when we have nothing left to lose
You will have nothing left to use
We owe you nothing
You have no control
Merchandise keeps us in line
Common sense says it's by design
What could a businessman ever want more
Than to have us sucking in his store
We owe you nothing
You have no control
You are not what you own
Please excuse my point of view
And allow me to intrude
I have given up on what I thought I knew
And our ignorance is bliss
So we're hiding out in it
Wnd I guess it doesn't matter what we've missed
Would it scare you away if I was sixty-five feet tall?
Would it make you afraid if there was nothing left al all?
It's nearly impossible
Highly improbable
But not hopeless
We are swallowed up in it
A...
There's nothing you can do about it
There is someone who knows everything there is to know
And there is someone who is too afraid to let it show
We live by consequences we never seem to get it right
Conflict of circumstances and sometimes we may lose a fight
Wouldn't you know something is going wrong
Wouldn't you know something is really wrong
And you can't do a thing about it
No, no, no you h...
Talk, talk, talk, don't talk to me
You've got something I just don't need
Wait, wait, wait, don't wait for me
I've been waiting for you to leave
Want to try and try, try and make it right
How long it takes, you just don't know
And another day and there's nothing changed
How long it takes, you just don't know
Talk, talk, talk, don't talk to me
You've got something I just don't need
Wait, wait, ...
You want what you think you need
But what you really need
Isn't anything that you want
You think that you've got it made
But it's what you don't know
That is gonna pull you down, down, down
It's not for free, no
It's not for free, no
You want what you think you need
But what you really need
Isn't anything that you want
Stand back, take a step aside
Take a look at yourself
Put away your stupid ...
There is nothing new
Put in front of you
Nothing you don't understand
Don't try to rationalize
No one hears your lies
Only you can comprehend
You don't want to see
You don't want to hear
You don't want to feel at all
Tell me, that you've tried
Mind is open wide
But you're not listening at all
Please don't question me, I don't have the time
If there's a problem that it's easier to set aside
If ...
One way or another I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna win ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meetcha meetcha meetcha meetcha
One day, maybe next week
I'm gonna meetcha, I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha
I will drive past your house
And if the lights are all down
I'll see who's around
One way or ...
Now you've made it up, it's all inside your mind
Now you've given up, you don't know what's there if you don't try
So you've given in along with all of your friends
And you're still alone the means don't always justify the end
Ordinary, ordinary
A look in the mirror is not enough
What makes you think that you're not one of us?
A look in the mirror is not enough
What makes you think that you're...
I knew what I wanted and I was fixed on it
I was sure of it, I could've been wrong
It seems like it's never quite like
I thought it'd be
The reality, am I where I belong?
It's not like they said
It feels like most everything's out of focus in my mind
I'm trying to make some sense out of what I left behind
The difference in who I am and the one want to be
It seemed so much easier when there was...
Fake, even when you're sure this time it's real
Pain, isn't just defined by what you feel
It isn't so wrong
To be where you're from
The image of what you are
Can be overcome
Angst, you'd cut out your heart to spite your mind
Stay, even if it's just a waste of time
It isn't so wrong
To be where you're from
The image of what you are
Can be overcome
I let my guard down
Inhibition and indecision
Do you realize it's all the same
Cowardice, prejudice
Do you realize it's all the same
Liberty, poverty
Do you realize it's all the same
Angelisize, and generalize
Do you realize that it's all the same
That it's all the same
That it's all the same..so
I don't wanna feel this pain
I don't wanna feel this pain
Everyday I see these same four walls that keep me here
And I...
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby it just happens ev'ryday
I look ...
Another falls in place
You wonder if you're only human
It's blood, dust and paste
We're held together by a single thread
Must be a reason for us to justify it
But no one will defy it
What is it with this place?
Or is that I'm missing something?
You won't see my face
When I can't even see it for myself
Must be a reason for us to justify it
But no one will defy it
I don't want a game that I don'...
It feels like there's nothing I can do
It feels like there's nothing left to do
Always feels like I must
Wait
Just a while
Because quot;anything worth having is worth the waitquot;
So it seems
That this waiting's left us somewhere in-between
It feels like there's nothing I can do
It feels like there's nothing left to do
Blind ambition is overrated
Apathetic bored and jaded now
You forget somet...
Only came outside to watch the nightfall with the rain
I heard you making patterns rhyme like
Some new romantic looking for the tv sound
You'll see I'm right some other time look now
Look all around, there's not sign of life
Voices, another sound
Can you hear me now?
This is planet earth, you're looking at planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop
This is planet earth
My head is stuck on so...
One fine day in my odd past
I picked me up a transmission
I turned the fission ignition
Went looking for the broadcaster
And when I first touched some ground
They simply told me to leave
Was kind of hard to believe
'Cause there was not one around
This ain't the planet sound
This ain't the planet sound
This ain't the planet sound
This ain't the planet sound
I had a talented wine
That land of cl...
He's never going back
Refuses to be left behind
He doesn't understand
How they so easily made up their minds
You had it in your hands
So how is it so hard to find?
You still don't understand
The reason you've been treated so unkind
There's nowhere left for you to hide
Afraid and bound by your design
If you don't know what you're looking for
What will you find?
You need a little time
Do you can...
What's the matter with my view?
Is it something less than you think it should be?
What's the matter with the truth?
Is there any of it left for us to see?
That's not the way it is supposed to be
That's not the meaning of equality
I don't want promises
I don't want condescending words from you
You can do most anything
As long as it's exactly how I say
Opportunity is free, just make sure that
Yo...
What was that you said to me?
I'm not exactly sure I heard you right
What is it you want from me?
I'm not exactly sure I will comply
You think you've got me where you want
You think you're better but you're not
I don't mean anything to you
Why?
Don't make me put you in your place
You don't think I'd let you make a fool of me
Don't make me put you in your place
You don't think I'd let you make ...
When I found out
If I took it as the truth
Could there be another meaning here?
If what you say
Is what you wanted to be true
Do you know you've lost your reasoning?
So filled with doubt
So unaffected by the news
I am different than I used to be
And what you say
I'm so convinced it's not the truth
Was it me or was it
I know that I'm still the same
Everything around me changes
Questions still r...
You can't be right
You're full of prejudice and spite
You think you've got me pegged but you're wrong
Out of my way
There is a consequence to pay
You think you've got me pegged but you're wrong
I am someone who'll burn the whole world down
I'm the one to bring it right around
You're giving up on me
But what else have you got
You're losing sight
I won't give up without a fight
You think you've ...
You are all the same
Go the way you came
Different names
But very little else has changed
Difficult to find
Easy to resign
Didn't seem to matter when I didn't mind
Out before it's in
Everybody wins
Give them what they want
And they are giving in
Nothing in return
Will we ever learn?
It's jumbled
And it's getting harder to discern
I run my mind circles
The vertigo
I've had enough
It feels as th...
Someone tell me that I'm wrong
Someone tell me that I'm right
Someone tell me where I'm going
I guess, it's safe to say
I don't know what I want
But I can't wait forever
It isn't difficult at all
I don't know what I want
But I can't wait forever
It isn't difficult at all
It makes no sense to me
Someone tell me that I'm black
Someone tell me that I'm white
Someone tell me that it's going
To mak...
It started out all wrong
I wasn't thinking
Everything is wrong
I couldn't see it
I guess I thought that things
Would somehow try and work themselves out
I'd like to think it's not so easy
To convince myself that everything is going to be ok
Shame on me this time
I was only trying to make the best of this
I should have known
Fool me once then shame on you
Again and I must choose
Between suspici...
Back in '95 when this was new
I guess I didn't have a clue
I thought the world would change with the right song
So we picked it up and moved it out
And turned the whole thing upside down
I told myself it wouldn't be too long
And I believed in everyone
And everything they told me
And I believed that anything
Anything was possible
Shoot the moon
Shoot the moon
Hit or miss it makes no difference
...
Does your conscience still say anything to you?
You have fallen down so far from what you knew
Its been so long that I can't believe I still remember
Exactly how I used to be
Its not enough
Of what you want
I've given up
Its come and gone
Its not enough
Its not enough
Its not enough
You've been running from your shadow in the hall
You've been hanging up your failure on the wall
Its been so lon...
I'm not so bulletproof
But this is something
I could never say to you
This sometimes buries me
And I don't know if this is someone I can be
I tell myself it's right
Still feels so wrong
It's better than nothing
I'd rather not be here all by myself
It's better than nothing here with someone else
It's better than nothing
I'd rather not be standing here alone
It's better than feeling like you're ...
There was a hint of danger, they told him it's okay
There was a chance of failure, they told him it's alright
A false security driven by a weakened state of mind
It's calling and calling
He had a big decision, they told him it's okay
Bound by his inhibitions, they told him it's alright
Time for reality, time to gain control of his own life
It's calling and calling
Do you know what is wrong? Tr...
Seen the carnival at Rome
Had the women, I had the booze
All I can remember now
Is little kids without no shoes
So I saw that train and I got on it
With a heartful of hate and a lust for vomit
Now I'm walking on the sunny side of the street
Stepped over bodies in Bombay
Tried to make it to the U.S.A.
Ended up in Nepal
Up on the roof with nothing at all
And I knew that day I was going to stay
R...
I won, I worked too hard to get it
So what? It's over, just forget it
Too much, too soon, too late, until you realize
You've got it made? You're in for a big surprise
That's not what I want at all, that's not what I wanted
Can I take it back? Can I take it back? I'm asking
It's gone and I don't want to fake it
It's wrong, I've become the one I hated
I'm not what you've sized me up to be inside your head
No way you could ever see me how I really am
Be careful what you say
Because some things never change
It's such a waste of time, but it's so strange
You're only right when something's wrong
You've tried to give me everything that I could never have
I thought that you were trying to improve upon yourself
Be careful what you say
Because some...
Police car with a screaming siren
Pneumatic drill on ripped-up concrete
Baby wails, a stray dog howling
Brakes screech as lamp light blinking
That's entertainment
That's entertainment
Smash of glass and a rumble of boots
Electric train and a ripped up phone booth
A hot day and a sticky black tarmac
A hot day and I'm wishing I was far away
That's entertainment
That's entertainment
La, la, la
La...
It's all right
Everything is fine
You live the perfect life
Never one immoral thought inside your mind
What they say
Does it make you feel ashamed?
Isn't everyone the same?
Does it matter that it wasn't your idea
God is a man
You know for certain
The knowledge in and of itself
Is more than we deserve
So you've tried
And you've made up your mind
Something's still not right
The devil you don't k...
She went away for the holidays
Said she's going to L.A.
But she never got there
She never got there, she never got there, they say
She went away for the holidays
Said she's going to L.A.
But she never got there
She never got there, she never got there, they say
The KKK took my baby away
They took her away, away from me
The KKK took my baby away
They took her away, away from me
Now I don't know...
You're alright, you're alive, you're the number one
They said that you're not ashamed of what you've done
Everyone makes mistakes
Make it up you'll be OK
That's what they tell you
You won't get the special treatment
I don't care what you do or say
Don't let them tell you what you're already thinking
It's a no win situation
Well enough of the old way
It's not working and the rules have already ...
You think you know just what it means
To be alone
You think you've suffered for your cause
You're wrong
I don't really need to know what makes you tick
Or what you think is right
I don't want to know the reason you believe
Right now you're like the others
Your thoughts are not your own
Try thinking for yourself and act on what you know
Still you try to defend these things
You were taught
You'v...
Tommy gun
You ain't happy less you got one
Tommy gun
Ain't gonna shoot the place up
Just for fun
Maybe he wants to die for the money
Maybe he wants to kill for his country
Whatever he wants, he's gonna get it
Tommy gun
You better strip it down for a customs run
Tommy gun
Waiting in the airport 'till kingdom come
An' we can watch you make it
On the nine o'clock news
Standing there in palestine ...
Is there a way to become invisible?
You say you might but you wouldn't dare
I think it works when it's unintentional
I know you hear me and I know that you don't care
I'm not invisible
I didn't say that you were unemotional
You put it on like the clothes you wear
You've got emotion but it's one-dimensional
Your full of hate full of anger full of fear
I'm not invisible
No love is unconditional
...
Tell me something that I don't already know
Tell me how you plan to save the world
I'm tired of people trying to tell me what is right
I'm tired of people trying to show me how
I know that you might never understand the way I feel
I made a promise to myself that I would never let it show
Never look down, never look down
Just keep my focus straight ahead
And try to walk this line
Tell me all ab...
I heard about this story in the news today
About a man who lost his senses, lost his way
About a man who had his world taken away
He took his life but not before he made them pay
So go on ask yourself the question
Are you convinced that you're OK?
Often times it makes me wonder
Are we not that safe?
I heard a story about this woman yesterday
A twenty-seven year old teacher of fifth grade
A kid...
Don't wanna hear what you said
Don't wanna kick in your head
Don't wanna live my life that way, yeah
Don't wanna give in but I
Don't wanna be victimized
Don't wanna live my life that way
[Incomprehensible]
Walk away, walk away
Walk away, just walk away
Try to see things in a different way
Here we go
Don't wanna tell you your place
Don't wanna get in your face
Don't wanna live my life that way,...
I could be like you, I could be alone and jaded
Wonderin' what to do 'til they say
And I could be like you, angry and intoxicated
Wonderin' what to do to make them pay
Will I find a way? Will I find another way?
Will I find a way? Will I find another way?
Can I make them say?
Can I make them say?
Make them all believe they're wrong
They're really wrong
Their cruel intentions don't belong
And I...
All men have secrets and here is mine
So let it be known
We have been through hell and high tide
I can surely rely on you?
And yet you start to recoil
Heavy words are so lightly thrown
But still I'd leap in front
Of a flying bullet for you
So what difference does it make?
So what difference does it make?
It makes none but you have gone
And you must be looking very old tonight
The devil will fi...
Open-minded educated
Popular and medicated now
And you still won't make it
Filled with silent indignation
Blind with hopeless expectation now
And you still won't make it
So you're afraid that they will think ill of you
Get a load of me now
And if you're scared they couldn't care less of you
Get over yourself now
It's fame and popularity
I'll never understand
If it feels like this is what you n...
Crack that whip
Give the past the slip
Step on a crack
Break your momma's back
When a problem comes along
You must whip it
Before the cream sits out too long
You must whip it
When something's going wrong
You must whip it
Now whip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
It's not too late
To whip it
Whip it good
When a good time turns around
You must whip it...
Well maybe I don't look like you think I should
And maybe we do nothing alike
Another day and I just don't think that it ever will
Nothings changed through all this time
Nothings changed and I just can't see how this anger still exists but song calms me down, lets put an end to lies and the prejudice
There's nothing wrong with who you are
Because your not like me
I'm sick and tired of ignoranc...
You've got your reputation
I've got anonymity
I've got my self-respect
You can't take that from me
You've got to protect your interests
You've got your enemies
I've got a hundred reasons
To expose your treachery
There is no happy ending
Only what remains to be
I want an explanation
I want an apology
You ruined everything
You tried to run away but you can't
I want to hear the answer
I want the ...
Ignorance and arrogance mean quite the same to me
Take a look around you and I'm sure you will agree
The world is full of people filled with hatred filled with greed
It's such a rare example when you've found a human being
You could've had everything but you
You would've been scared of what to do
You should've been so much more to us than just exonerated
Why shouldn't it break your heart in tw...
You've Got a Problem
So what's the problem now this time?
I thought you knew by now that nothing ever works out right
You wanna take away the edge
You tell me it's the only thing that helps you to forget
You made your promises
It's not workin' out this time
There's only so much you can squander from a feeble mind
You've got a problem with your life
Life
You've got a problem with your life
You'...
There's nothing here inside of these walls
I feel like I am so far away, nothing is changed
And I just can't be who I'm supposed to be
I let the past control my life
It brings me to my knees
And I cannot hide, I cannot lie
So many words to say and no one to hear
Why did you go away?
I needed you more today than I ever did
You lied to me
Outside it's cold
It chills to the bone
I wish that I did...
Why don't? Why don't they mind?
You don't know what you want to be
You don't know what you want to do
Never going to amount to much of anything
So what's the difference if you win or lose?
Well that's something, well isn't that something?
Well you've done nothing wrong but it's never your fault
You've done nothing
You don't care where your friends have gone
Because you never really needed them...
So what's the problem, now this time?
I thought you'd learn by now that nothing ever works out right
You want to take away the edge
You tell me it's the only thing that helps you to forget, yes
You've made your promises
That's not enough this time
There's only so much you can squander from a feeble mind
You've got a problem with your life, life
You've got a problem with your life
You've got a ...
