I'm living with your memory
In the attic in my mind
And you've been getting by without me
But I've been spending all my time
With a girl that I remember
Who'll never leave or need to grow
Cos when you left you left your memory
Now it's the only thing I know
When the past gives me no comfort
And though the future is the cost
The way I'm choosing to remember
I'll forever be the man I never was
And you, you fade
But the memory remains the same
And I, I can't change
And I think that living with your memory
Is slowly driving me insane
You are perfect but you're empty
And it gets so lonely in my mind
Cos your image in my memory's
The only shred of you that's left behind
You were real but then you left me
And that's the part I can't accept
So I'll keep on living with your memory
Because it's all that I've got left
You have been placed in a queue
But your call is valuable
It's very valuable
We hope this doesn't inconvenience you
Because you're valuable
You're so very valuable!
If you wish to make a complaint
We can handle it,
We're well prepared to handle it
Of course you may have to wait
But that's understandable
Isn't that understandable?
Don't ask me, I just work here man
Don't ask me, I just work here man
(It sounds to me like you need help!)
We're very good to you
I hope you know we're good to you
(Let me put you through to someone else)
They'll know just what to do!
I'm sorry, I can't help you
Don't ask me, I just work here man [x4]
(Work here man)
Don't ask me, I just work here man
Don't ask me, I just work here man
Oh don't ask me, I just work here man
(I just work here man)

Thanks for your time [x4]
Thanks for your time

Thanks for your time

Thanks for your time
(Don't ask me, I just work here man)
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love
And it's an ache I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end
Always the end
So when we found
That we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
[Kimbra:]
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
And I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody
That you used to know...
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
You think it's so hard for you
You moan about the things you do
We'll it's gonna get a little bit harder
'Cause this train can't go no farther
Since the day you came on the scene
I've been treating you like my queen
Spending my money just to make you smile
I give an inch but you take a mile
Well baby I been thinking
And I don't wanna be your saviour anymore
I ain't gonna get you what you want
I'm here to tell you that it's not ok
I'm not your meal ticket sucka just to pay your way
You never really cared for friends
Little more than a means to the end
You won't be happy 'till they call you famous
Your attitude is entirely shameless
Now I realise my mistake
You never give you just take take take
Whether money or imagination
We're all figures in your calculation
I don't wanna be your saviour anymore
I ain't gonna get you what you want
I'm here to tell you that you're on your own
I'm not your lapdog, woman and I'm telling you
I don't wanna be your saviour anymore
I don't wanna be your saviour anymore
Think you struggle like the rest of us
You really think that you do it tough
Well you should try a bit of nine to five
Where the measure of your life
Is a pay check
Just enough to pay the rent
We're all thinking in dollars and cents
But when you get it on a silver plate
I know you can't appreciate
That I don't wanna be your saviour anymore
I ain't gonna take you to the top
I'm here to tell you that you're on your own
I'm not your cash cow, woman and I'm telling you
Don't wanna be your saviour anymore
I ain't gonna open every door
You better listen to me when I say
You're a

You're a fraud and you know it
But it's too good to throw it all away
Anyone would do the same
You've got 'em going
And you're careful not to show it
Sometimes you even fool yourself a bit
It's like magic
But it's always been a smoke and mirrors game
Anyone would do the same
So now that you've arrived, well you wonder
What is it that you've done to make the grade?
And should you do the same?
(Is that too easy?)
Are you only trying to please them?
Will they see then
You're desperate to deliver
Anything that could give you
A sense of reassurance
When you look in the mirror
Such highs and lows
You put on quite a show
All these highs and lows
And you're never really sure
What you do it for
Well do you even want to know?
You put on quite a show
Mother, are you watching?
Are you watching?
Mother, are you watching?
Mother
Mother
You're a fraud and you know it
And every night and day you take the stage
And it always entertains
You're giving pleasure
And that's admirable you tell yourself
And so you'd gladly sell yourself to others
Mother, are you watching?
Mother, are you watching?
Mother, are you watching?
Mother, are you watching?
Are you watching?
Such highs and lows
You put on quite a show
All these highs and lows
And you're never really sure
What you do it for
Well do you even want to know?
You put on quite a show
In the mornings,
I was anxious
Was better just to stay in bed
Didn't wanna fail myself again
Running through all the options
And the endings
Were rolling out in front of me
But I couldn't choose a thread to begin
And I could not, love
Cos I could not love myself
Never good enough no
That was all I'd tell myself
And I was not well
But I could not help myself
I was giving up on living
In the morning
You were leaving
Traveling south again
And you said you were not unprepared
And all the dead ends
Disappointments
Fading from your memory
Ready for that lonely life to end
And you gave me love
When I could not love myself
And you made me turn
From the way I saw myself
And your patient love
And you helped me help myself
And you save me [3x]
Get up in the morning
I can't keep it in
I'm falling all over myself
And I could jump out of my skin
Wanna break the door down
Just to greet the day
Coz there ain't nothing that's more certain
To keep my blues away
And I say
(La la, hey hey)
And I say
(La la, hey hey)
And it can settle the sadness
And the voices in my head
When I'm in the glow of the warmth you throw
I can put all that to bed
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
In your light, just when I'm in your light
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
And I won't get by if you take that light away
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
And when you're smiling on me
That is all I need
To put behind me all my worry
And life's complexities
It may be only a moment
But the world just falls away
And I forget myself
And everything else
That depressed me yesterday
And I can sing
(La la, hey hey)
Yeah I sing
(La la, hey hey)
When I'm in your light
All of this is clear
If only I could always be just as I am right here
When I'm in your light, just when I'm in your light
And I won't get by if you take that light away
(La la, hey hey)
(In your light, just when I'm in your light)
When I'm in your light
Nothing brings me down
If only I could always feel just as I do right now
When I'm in your light, just when I'm in your light
And I won't get by if you take that light away
When I'm in your light
All of this is clear
(In your light, just when I'm

Pick apart
The pieces of your heart
And let me peer inside
Let me in
Where only your thoughts have been
Let me occupy your mind
As you do mine
Your heart's a mess
You won't admit to it
It makes no sense
But I'm desperate to connect
And you, you can't live like this
You have lost
Too much love
To fear, doubt and distrust
(It's not enough)
You just threw away the key
To your heart
You don't get burned
('Cause nothing gets through)
It makes it easier
(Easier on you)
But that much more difficult for me
To make you see
Love ain't fair
So there you are
My love
Your heart's a mess
You won't admit to it
It makes no sense
But I'm desperate to connect
And you, you can't live like this
Your heart's a mess
You won't admit to it
It makes no sense
But I'm desperate to connect
And you, you can't live like this
Love ain't safe
You won't get hurt if you stay chaste
So you can wait
But I don't wanna waste my love
You know I never want to let you down
It cuts me up to see you sad
And I wish that I could undo what I've done
Give back the faith in me you had
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
You know I love you more than anyone
But I get a little wrapped up in myself
But you know I never want to do you wrong
Bring into question what we have
Oh yeah
I know I let you down
I know I let you down
But you're giving me a chance
Oh yeah
I know I let you down
I know I let you down
But you're giving me a chance
So this is the end of the story
Everything we had, everything we did
Is buried in dust
And this dust is all that's left of us
But only a few ever worried
Though the signs were clear,
They had no idea
You just get used to living in fear
Or give up
When you can't even picture your future
We walk the plank with our eyes wide open...
Some people offered up answers
We made out like we heard, but they were only words
They didn't add up
To a change in the way we were living
And the saddest thing
Is all of it could have been avoided
But it was like to stop consuming
Is to stop being human
And why would I make a change if you won't
We're all in the same boat, staying afloat
For the moment
And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open, we..
Walk the plank with our eyes wide open
With our eyes wide open we...
Walk the plank, we walk the plank
Seventeen seconds and I'm over it
Ready for the disconnect
Putting on a brave face
Trying not to listen
To the voices in the back of my head
But it's alright now
(It's a distant memory baby)
Alright now
(You know you should just let it go)
Some feelings have a habit of persisting
Even though you wouldn't let it show
Wearing me out
(All this)
Hanging around
(It just starts)
Getting me down
('Til I'm just)
Looking for an easy way out
Brain-dead from boredom
I'm led to distraction
Scratching the surface of life
Nothing really happens
But it's easy to keep busy
When you tell yourself you're traveling right
But it's alright now
(Was it really worth it baby?)
Alright now
(Was it just a waste of time?)
Keep on second-guessing
Use my memory like a weapon
On everything I try
Wearing me out
(All this)
Hanging around
(It just starts)
Getting me down
('Til I'm just)
Looking for an easy way out
Wearing me out
(But it's alright now)
Hanging around
(Alright now)
Getting me down
(But it's alright now)
Looking for an easy way out
You've been gone much longer
Than you ever said you had the plan to
I'm just gonna wait 'till you come home
Though I count the days, they're grey without you
The weather's much better when I think about you
I'm just gonna wait till you come home
Empty glasses, burnt out matches
Curtains drawn on near-full blackness
I'm sleeping through the day
You're coming home
To reclaim this heart you owned
Lover
Leave me
Make me burn
You're coming back!
You're coming back!
I'll wait patiently
For your return
You're coming back!
You're coming back!
I'm clutching at straws
I'm climbing up the walls
But every time I fall
Back into my hole
I'm feeling like a wretch
I'm looking for a catch
But you're an itch that I can't scratch
I know you're coming back
You've been gone so long you're fading
And it takes all the time I can find just retaining
Thoughts of things we did while you were here
But I know you will return my dear
Everybody's here with me
(we) Got no camera here to see
Don't think I'm not all in this world
The camera won't let me go
And the verdict doesn't love our soul
The digital won't let me go
Yeah yeah yeah
I'll pay (yeah yeah yeah)
When tomorrow
Tomorrow comes today
Stereo I want it on
It's taken me far too long
Don't think I'm not all in this world
I don't think I'll be here too long
I don't think I'll be here too long
I don't think I'll be here too long
Yeah yeah yeah
I'll pay
When tomorrow
Tomorrow comes today
Starshine
Never gonna find me
Starshine
When you gonna find me
Starshine
Never gonna find me
Starshine
Never gonna find me
Standing with myself
Feeling your love
Show me down
Starshine
When you gonna find me
Starshine
Where you gonna find me
Starshine
Never gonna find me
Starshine
When you gonna find me
City life
Calling me later
Leave my soul
In deep water
Never get a better chance
So what you doing
Gotta get money
Ain't quite what you're doing
I can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Shout my life
You won't get money
From doing what you're loving
Moving out of city
Better have a second chance
Get a lot of problems
I can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
I can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
Can't stand your loneliness
you couldn't escape this music even if
your name's Houdini
our tracks say Lah for Life and don't
disappear like a genie
communicating through your
airwaves like a giant C.B.
'cause this one's for your radios or
whether you recieve me
our music is so hot, it feels like the
sun in Tahiti

Gorillaz on patrol

of a superhero
supernaturally we rock the mic but
wit' a natural flow

now - we told you so
Gorillaz rock your dome just like the
one in Tokyo
it's a hard dream to contemplate
i could fall into the abyss-ah
and i love this interlude
it's the reason to deliver
and they called onto me
says they came to talk to me though
the more of us that lies,
i guess the kids don't live or die
'cause we're makin' this music that's
making you lose it
so people don't abuse it and there
ain't no way for you to refuse it
Gorillaz be the army that's startin'
this pardy-ardy
makin' more noise than carnivals
mixed with the mardi-gradi
we're comin' through your town with
the sound that's so profound
Gorillaz with the rappers that straight
from the underground
we're tearin' it down, makin' you

It's a sweet sensation, over the dub
Oh, what a situation, we don't want to stop
It's a trust for soul boy, over the dub
With the sweetest inspiration, we don't want to stop

It's a sweet sensation, over the dub

O green world,
Don't desert me now
Bring me back to fallen town
Where someone is still alive
Fighting for something new in this
When no one needs the heart of me and I'll
Get out somewhere other than me before...
(than me before...)
O green world
Don't deserve me now
I'm made of you and you of me
But where are we?
Oh no
Sells to lie
Phone with talk, you stars
Suppose you
Down when you're in fast
Cause it seems so little to you
But now you're in love, you know
You know, me too
You know, me too
I hope sex and drugs rust into my self, holy
It feels holy
It feels like you're with your father in the place you love...
I know you like that
You wanna try that
It's like a flashback
So shake your ass crack
I got the balls to
Rock the salsa
Funk the blues-a
Any groove to
Make you move cos
Taking you to
Another landscape
is my mandate
I'm highly animated even though I'm decomposing
So if your feet is frozen I'ma die to see you ropin'
And when the MC rhyme and the DJ spin

Come on shake and bake do whatever it takes
(How many people ready to rock the house?)
Graviational pull
I'll have you making a fool
Out of yourself on the dance floor
Doing back spins, running man, and more
Party down with Vigga and Candor
Coming to the jam
Or look like a landlubber
And do the aqua boogie
Win lots of goodies maybe
Pop a Gucci wallet turntables is talking to me
It's awfully groovy
Seeing all the treasure and the booty
And when the MC rhyme and the DJ spin
I want y'all to just get down

Yeah,
Dream on my world
I live on my world
Going off my head down to
somewhere
Goin' on the best of tune
and pressure today
I blew a bad man away today
Had to go
Had to be told
I blew the man away
Brother, sister too
Do what you must do
Don't trust people you meet
Yeah, yeah
They might promise you
That the river ain't deep
Dream on the street
People passing through me,
yes they do
Well my friend
Oh my heart bends
Gonna bring it all back
Brother, sister too
(She walked out tomorrow)
Do what you must do
(Like a corner, yeah)
Don't trust people you meet
Yeah, yeah
They might promise you
That the river ain't deep (x2)
Brother, sister too
Do what you ought to do
Ooh my baby they say
The river ain't deep
But it's in the dark
Try to see myself what goes on.
Make it up myself, I'll never.
Always told my thoughts aloud,
then another day I shut up.
Back to the sand,
doing what you can.
Bound to be gone,
Danged a loser.
Found out right then they were fed up,
cause everybody said to shut up.
Yeah!
Thought you might care what goes on.
Try to say "what up?"; i'm fed up.
Everybody said to shut up,
the last time I told them "what up?"
Down with the sun,
I knew that I was done.
Did it to my self,
Did it to my self, and then.
All this time I said I've been fed up
Cause everybody tells me "shut up".
Slow it down some
No split clown
Bum, your old hit sound dumb
Hold it now, crown 'im
Where you found them at
Got 'em 'round town
Coulda drowned in it
Woulda floated bloated
Voted sugar coated
Loaded hip shooter
Draw for the poor
Free coffee at the banks
Hit through the straw
None more for me, thanks
That blanks the raw
That dang sure stank lit
Sank passed the pit for more hardcore prank spit
Crank it on blast
Roll past front street
Blew the whole spot
Like some old ass with skunk meat
These kids is too fast
Juiced off a junk treat
Who could get looser off a crunk or a funk beat?
2xCHORUS:
Something's starting today
Where did he go? why you wanted to be?
Well you know, november has come
When it's gone away..
(baha) Can you dig it like a spigot
My guess is yes you can like, can I kick it? wicked
Liquor shot
If u happy and u know it
As you clap your hands to the thick snot of a poet flow it
Broke a pen and i'm in cope hymen
Dope or rhymin all worth it then
The hope diamond
Required off the blackmarket
Or wire tappin
Couldn't target a jar of spit
The rapid fire spark lit
zzzzt!
A rapper bug zapper
And it don't matter after if they's a thug or a dapper.
Plug yer trap or it's maximum exposure
The beast got family in numbers asking 'em for closure
Aw, send 'em a gun an tell em clean it
Then go get the nun who said her son didn't mean it
She wore a filled-in thong
A billabong
And said, nah, fo'realla
The Villain on a Gorilla jawn?
Dejalo si quieres continuar
(Hermano)
Sal ilumina tu vida
Todo el cielo aplatandote
Dime que harйs
(Intentalo)
Ilumina ese amor
Antes que se vaya
Algo siempre te entristese
Cuando todo va bien
Que pasa contigo?
Algo siemre te entristese
Cuando todo va bien
Que pasa contigo?
Que pasa contigo?
Dejalo si quieres continuar
No ocultes tu alma al sol
Tienes una vida preciosa
De que sirve si solo
Mueres suavemente
Que pasa?
Que pasa contigo?
Que pasa contigo?
(Mi hermano)
Que pasa contigo?
Escucha a tu propia voz
Salva tu amor
Que pasa contigo?
Antes que se vaya
Si todo va bien
Que pasa contigo?
Que pasa contigo?
Mirate a ti mismo
Enfrentalo
Que pasa contigo?
Mi hermano
Are we the last living souls?
Are we the last living souls?
Are we the last living souls?
Are we the last living souls?
Take a gun
Or how you say
That's no way you behave
Just a law, a new begin
Sing a song that doesn't sin
And it grows
Hey, you know
Are we the last living souls?
Are we the last living souls?
Are we the last to get away to some another day?
Do we know
Well, we know
Doesn't seem to be complete
Are we, are we the last living souls?
Are we the last living souls?
Are we the last living souls?
Are we the last living souls?
Get up, get up, get up, get up...
What you say?
Cause all I was on
I got it down wrong
I see myself to get
And the Lord, seeing all now
Can you take us in
The part that comin' on
The coldest man doesn't see it's all
We go to the car
I see you walk to the far
And when you get there do you see
You fit the last you need on me
Cause we're the last living souls
We're the last living souls
Yeah, we're the last living souls
We're the last living souls
Feel the impact!

The most important thing, is listening to the recording of the music.
It makes them get a musical sense - and, uh - this is the point of the... fast progress!

And also, everyday, every lesson
We have to make sure
They're not lying about tunization!
"Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them.
It gets up and kills! The people it kills get up and kill!"
I was born a zombie
I'm a creep
From the sea
I was born a zombie
I'm a creep
By the sea
"I've got an alternative,
Let's get in that ol' whirly bird over there,
Find us an island some place, get greased up
And spend what time we got left soaking up some sunshine!"
Get up
If you wanna survive
Get oh so alive
In your life
Everything falling out the sky on top of you
Now what you do
Fill yourself up now
It's the love of your life
Shead a lead on me
All I know
Before it's gone
I always feel scared in the town
And nothing's wrong
What's the matter with me?
What's the matter with me?
Me
Give up
If you wanna survive
Pick the sun back up
You got to get on the song lowly
What's the point?
It's funny 'til you left to kill yourself
In this town
So what's the matter with me?

Once upon a time at the foot of a great mountain, there was a town where the people known as Happyfolk lived, their very existence a mystery to the rest of the world, obscured as it was by great clouds. Here they played out their peaceful lives, innocent of the litany of excess and violence that was growing in the world below. To live in harmony with the spirit of the mountain called Monkey was enough. Then one day Strangefolk arrived in the town. They came in camouflage, hidden behind dark glasses, but no one noticed them: they only saw shadows. You see, without the Truth of the Eyes, the Happyfolk were blind.
Falling out of aeroplanes and hiding out in holes
Waiting for the sunset to come, people going home
Jump back from behind them and shoot them in the head
Now everybody dancing the dance of the dead,
the dance of the dead,
the dance of the dead
In time, Strangefolk found their way into the high reaches of the mountain, and it was there that they found the caves of unimaginable Sincerity and Beauty. By chance, they stumbled upon the Place Where All Good Souls Come to Rest. The Strangefolk, they coveted the jewels in these caves above all things, and soon they began to mine the mountain, its rich seam fueling the chaos of their own world. Meanwhile, down in the town, the Happyfolk slept restlessly, their dreams invaded by shadowy figures digging away at their souls. Every day, people would wake and stare at the mountain. Why was it bringing darkness into their lives? And as the Strangefolk mined deeper and deeper into the mountain, holes began to appear, bringing with them a cold and bitter wind that chilled the very soul of them up. For the first time, the Happyfolk felt fearful for they knew that soon the Monkey would soon stir from its deep sleep. And then came a sound. Distant first, it grew into castrophany so immense it could be heard far away in space. There were no screams. There was no time. The mountain

Summer don't know me no more
Eager man, that's all
Summer don't know me
He just let me love in my sea
Cause I do know, Lord,
from you that
Just died, yeah
I saw that day,
Lost my mind
Lord, I'll find
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine
Don't stop the buck when it comes
It's the dawn, you'll see
Money won't get there
Ten years passed tonight
You'll flee
If you do that,
I'll be some
To find you
I saw that day,
Lost my mind
Lord, I'll find
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine
I saw that day,
Lost my mind
Lord, I'll find
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine
Maybe in time
You'll want to be mine
I lost my leg like I lost my way
So no loose sounds
Nothing to see me down
How are we going to work this out?
Dreams aren't bad, I had turned back
I love the girl
But God only knows it's
Getting hard to see the sun coming through
I love you...
But what are we going to do?
Picture on the dreamer
I'll take you deeper
Down to the sleepy glow
Time is a low..
Don't you know?
What are we going to do?
When you go back
All the second selfless days
You're in love with him
I want to see you again
I love you...
But what are we going to do?
Gorillaz (faintly)
The percentage of us tow the line
The rest of us out of reach
Everybody party time
Some of us
will never sleep again.
Bela Lugosi sample: "Rest is good for the blood!"
Gorillaz:
The percentage of us tow the line
The rest of us is out of reach
Everybody party time
Some of us
will never sleep again.

Dracula, dracula
Dracula, dracula.
The percentage of us tow the line
The rest of us is out of reach

I'm a pale imitator of a boy in the sky
With a cap in his head and a knot in his tie
I'm the light in the mall when the power is gone
A shadow in a corner
Just playin' along!
I'm gonna lay in my bed, I'm rolling aside
But if a get a car
A moment to ride
Because I know if I ever tear living with you
You've got a holding chain
And you don't know what to do!
You'd stop!
You wanna do it
But you don't know what you doin' baby
A-a-a-a-aha
You wanna feel it,
But you don't know what you're feeling tonight!
And if you're thinking
And I don't know what you're thinking baby
A-a-a-a-aha
You go on thinking
And you gonna make it alright!
I'm in Prada boy [?]
I'm a late [?] not a heart in [?]
I got Saturday night, enoughs been said
If I ever had to do it,
Well, you know I wouldn't care
I'd just get down, I'm loving the feat
And if I wanna talk back, the message is free
I never found a ray and [?]
And if you can't partake, you get 'em alive
You get a heart
You wanna do it
But you don't know what you doin' baby
A-a-a-a-aha
You wanna feel it,
But you don't know what you're feeling tonight!
And if you're thinking
And I don't know what you're thinking baby
A-a-a-a-aha
You go on thinking
And you gonna make it alright!
Every time we try, we get nowhere
But wouldn't it be nice if we were just normal people, yeah
Trying so hard to act like we don't care
But it's true, you do, nothing is left
So I guess I'm right!
New word, onomatopoeia [?] boom
Quit acting like you don't wanna be here.

Got off a plane to the countryside,
I drove to the mountain and holding the ground
There was crack on the corner and someone dead,
and fire coming out of the monkey's head
Chorus:
Don't get lost in heaven
They got locks on the gate
Don't go over the edge
you'll make a big mistake
Put me in a cab to suburbia
I just took a line but I wasn't with you
There was more of it there, when I got back home
But you had left me,you don't know my soul...
You're a whole bad mistake,yeah,you're a whole one...
I need a gun to keep myself from harm
The poor people are burning in the sun
But they ain't got a chance
They ain't got a chance
I need a gun
Cos all I do is dance
Cos all I do is dance
I need a gun to keep myself from harm
The poor people are burning in the sun
No, they ain't got a chance
They ain't got a chance
I need a gun
Cos all I do is dance
Cos all I do is dance
In my backpack
I got my act right
In case you act quite difficult
And your result is weakin'
With anger and discontent
Some are seeking and searching like nimnoy
I'm a peace-loving decoy
Ready for retaliation
I change the whole location to a pine box six-under
Impulsive don't ask wild wonder
Orders given to me is:
strike and I'm thunder with lightning fast reflexes on constant alert
from the constant hurt that seems limitless with no dropping pressure
Seems like everybody's out to test ya
'til they see your brake
They can't conceal the hate
That consumes you
I'm the reason why you flipped your soosa
Chill with your old lady at the tilt
I got a 90 days digit
And I'm filled with guilt
From things that I've seen
Your water's from a bottle
mine's from a canteen
At night I hear the shots
Ring so I'm a light sleeper
The cost of life,
it seems to get cheaper
out in the desert
with my street sweeper
The war is over
So said the speaker with the flight suit on
Maybe to him I'm just a pawn
So he can advance
Remember when I used to dance
Man, all I want to do is dance
In demon days, it's cold inside
You don't get nobody, people sigh
It's so bad, lasting far, but love yourself
Hiding in a hole in there
All the glasses are too big
Bring it back, got to hold it back
To let you do that yet you don't want me back
Before it fall down, falling down falling down
Falling out to go far from the sun
Well these demon days are so cold inside
It's so hard to live, so to survive
You can't even trust the air you breathe
Cause Mother Earth has a soul to leave
When lies become reality
You love yourself because it's easy
Pick yourself up it's a brand new day
So turn yourself round
Don't burn yourself, turn yourself
Turn yourself around to the soul
To the soul, to the soul...
To the soul, to the soul...
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless,but not for long
The future is coming on
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
Yeah... Ha Ha!
Finally someone let me out of my cage
Now, time for me is nothing cos I'm counting no age
Now I couldn't be there
Now you shouldn't be scared
I'm good at repairs
And I'm under each snare
Intangible
Bet you didn't think so I command you to
Panoramic view
Look I'll make it all manageable
Pick and choose
Sit and lose
All you different crews
Chicks and dudes
Who you think is really kickin' tunes?
Picture you gettin' down in a picture tube
Like you lit the fuse
You think it's fictional
Mystical? Maybe
Spiritual
Hearable
What appears in you is a clearer view cos you're too crazy
Lifeless
To know the definition for what life is
Priceless
For you because I put you on the hype shit
You like it?
Gunsmokin' righteous with one token
Psychic among those
Possess you with one go
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless,but not for long
The future is coming on
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
The essence the basics
Without it you make it
Allow me to make this
Childlike in nature
Rhythm
You have it or you don't that's a fallacy
I'm in them

To keep myself tethered
To the days I tried to lose (Oh Yeah)

Between his brain and his tail (Oh Yeah)

Keep a mild groove on
They do the bump (8x)

Lost and broken,
Hopeless and lonely.
Smiling on the outside,
and hurt beneath my skin.
My eyes are fading,
My soul is bleeding.
I'll try to make it seem okay,
But my faith is wearing thin.
So help me heal these wounds,
They've been open for way too long.
Help me fill this hole,
Even though this is not your fault,
That I'm open,
And I'm bleeding,
All over your brand new rug.
And I need someone to help me sew them up.
I only wanted a magazine,
I only wanted a movie screen,
I only wanted the life I'd read about and dreamed.
And now my mind is an open book,
And now my heart is an open wound,
And now my life is an open soul for all to see.
But help me heal these wounds,
They've been open for way too long.
Help me fill this hole,
Even though this is not your fault,
That I'm open and I'm bleeding,
All over your brand new rug.
And I need someone to help me,
So you come along,
I push you away,
Then kick and scream for you to stay.
Cuz I need someone to help me,
Oh I need someone to help me,
To help me heal these wounds,
They've been open for way too long.
Help me fill this hole,
Even though this is not your fault,
That I'm open,
And I'm bleeding,
All over your brand new rug.
And I need someone to help me sew them,
I need someone to help me fill them,
I need someone to help me close them up.
I smile , you laugh, I look away
I sigh, you ask me why, I say,
It's ok and I am just feeling down
Your hand on mine I hear the words...
If only love had found us first, our lives would be different
So I stand and wait
I am just a man
Where would we be now baby, if we found each other first
Where would we be now baby,
And now I must confess
That I am a sinking ship
I'm anchored by the weight of my heart cause its filled with these feelings
I keep my true thought locked beside my hearts black box
It wont be found, it wont be found, through the smoke or the wreckage
So I crash and burn
I got a lot of things to learn
Where would we be now baby, if we found each other first
What would you do now darling, if I said these simple words
I'll wait, I'll wait...As long as you want
Where would we be now baby
I'll wait
I'll wait
Where would we be now baby, if we found each other first
What would you do now darling, if I said these simple words
I'll wait, I'll wait...As long as you want.
Rock and roll! Yeah! Oh! C'mon! Yeah! Oh! Let's go!
She walks down to the store at eight,
The devil walks with her and he thinks she's great,
When she looks at me, I don't know what I saw,
I think he's tryin' to make me his son in law
[Chorus]
When she,
Walked by, walked by, walked by, she walked on by [x2]
Let's go! Yeah
Egos fly when she walks by,
She caught my eye on October 9th,
22 days before Halloween,
How did I know she'd be my evil queen,
[Chorus]
My mother warned me against girls like you,
She said stay away from them son, you know they're not true,
All they're gonna do is put you under a spell
When you're fallin' down, you're going straight to hell
Let's go! Yeah! Oh! C'mon!
Yeeah!
Walked by, walked by, walked by, I'm gonna walked on by [x2]
Let's go!

Everything will be alright alright
Bring it in bring it in what? bring in..the verse..
Listen up 'cause there ain't nothin' funny,
I wanna hot girl and a little bit of money,
I wanna little house where my band can live,
'Cause we're tired of movin' every other weekend
I wanna go to parties where they got no guns,
I wanna rock with my band, I wanna have a little fun
Where thugs and punks and any other type,
Can sing this song and we'll sing it all night (sing it!)
Everything's gonna be alright now
Everything's gonna be alright
Get down stay up all night now
Let's do this one more time
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright alright
All I wanna do is kick the welfare, all I wanna do is get my share
All I wanna do is kick the welfare, all I wanna do is get my share
And I don't wanna run for the president,
I just want an honest way to pay my rent
And I'm tired of the man always shuttin' us down,
Tired of my old man 'cause he's never around
And I'm tired of eating off of other people's plates,
And I don't look important, so they're tellin' me to wait
Police records said they wouldn't exist,
I wanna know the meaning of a Christmas list
Said all I wanna do is kick the welfare,
All I wanna do is get my share, (tikki tikki tikki tikki)

Hard days made me
Hard nights shaped me
I don't know they somehow saved me
And I know I'm making something out of this life they call nothing
I Take what I want
take what I need
you say it's wrong, but it's right for me
I won't look down
Won't say I'm sorry
I know that only God can judge me
[Chorus]
And if I make it through today
Will tomorrow be the same
Am I just running in place
And if I stumble and I fall
Should I get up and carry on
Will it all just be the same
Cause I'm young and I'm hopeless
I'm lost and I know this
I'm going nowhere fast that's what they say
I'm troublesome I've fallen
I'm angry at my father
its me against this world and I don't care
I don't care
No one in this industry
understands the life I lead
when I sing about my past
its not a gimmick, not an act
These critics, and these trust fund kids
try to tell me what punk is
but when I see them on the street they got nothing to say
[Chorus]
And if I make it through today
Will tomorrow be the same
Am I just running in place
And if I stumble and I fall
Should I get up and carry on
Will it all just be the same
Cause I'm young and I'm hopeless
I'm lost and I know this
I'm going nowhere fast that's what they say
I'm troublesome I've fallen
I'm angry at my father
its me against this world and I don't care
I don't care I don't care...and now I don't care

There's a woman crying out tonight
Her world has changed
She asks God why
Her only son has died
And now her daughter cries
She can't sleep at night
Downtown
Another day for all the suits and ties
Another war to fight
There's no regard for life
How do they sleep at night
How can we make things right?
Just wanna make this right
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
In this love
We are all the same
Human in all our ways and all our pain
(So let it be)
There's a love that could fall down like rain
(Let us see)
Let forgiveness wash away the pain
(What we need)
And no one really knows what they are searching for
(We believe)
This world is crying for so much more
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe
We believe

As I walk through the valley
of the shadow of LA
The footsteps that were next to me
have gone their separate ways
I've seen enough now
to know that beautiful things
don't always stay that way
I've done enough now
to know this beautiful place
isn't everything they say
I heard that evil comes disguised
Like a city of angels
I'm walking towards the light
Baptized in the river
I've seen a vision of my life
And I wanna be delivered
In the city was a sinner
I've done a lot of things wrong
But I swear I'm a believer
Like the prodigal son
I was out on my own
Now I'm trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river
I'm delivered
I'm delivered
(M. Shadows)
You're from a small town
you're gonna grow up fast
underneath these lights
Down in Hollywood on the boulevard
the dead come back to life
To the praying Mother
The worried Father
Let your children go
If they come back they'll come home stronger
and if they don't you'll know
They sing that evil comes disguised
Like a city of angels
I'm walking towards the light
Baptized in the river
I've seen a vision of my life
And I wanna be delivered
In the city was a sinner
I've done a lot of things wrong
But I swear I'm a believer
Like the prodigal son
I was out on my own
Now I'm trying to find my way back home
Baptized in the river
I'm delivered
I'm delivered
Baptized in the river (on my own)
Baptized in the river (on my own)
I wanna be delivered
(on my own)
(on my own)
Baptized in the river (on my own)
I wanna be delivered
Baptized in the river (on my own)
I wanna be delivered... Read more »
I made this bed
I choose to lie in it
Live with my regrets
Sleep with what I said
Could this be the end
Am I standing on the edge
Of everything I wanted now
I was afraid
I was afraid
Maybe I’m just scared
To face the things I fear
It's easier to walk away from everything
Separate my soul
With all the things we shared
I’m fallin' to pieces now
Say a prayer for me
When you go to bed
I’m in need of your faith now
I was afraid
Maybe I’m just scared
To face the things I fear
It's easier to walk away from everything
If we could just reset
And live in happiness
Instead of our regrets
We'd salvage everything
We don't have to walk away
Pray for me now
I’m in need of faith
Pray for me now
I’m in need
Maybe I’m just scared
To face the things I feared
It's easier to walk away from everything
If we could just reset
And live in happiness
Instead of our regrets
We'd salvage everything
Maybe I’m just scared
To face the things I failed
It's easier to walk away from everything
Walk away from everything
Walk away from everything
I feel so far away, from everything I used to be
So I just hang my head, and feel the shame
Like theres nothing I can do
I thought no time or space
Could separate us with all that we've been through
But now she's on a plane, she's miles away
And I just wanna go home
Oh there she goes so beautiful
But she said she don't know who I am
Oh there she goes so beautiful
But she's crying
Cause she liked me better when
I was different
No one knew me then
Back in Maryland
Way before I left
I had everything
Can't forget the days
I was back home in Maryland
We live too far away
From anything to run the race back then
From all these city streets
That jaded me and make me feel this way
Now my thoughts drift away to summer days
When I see your face
You'd always smile at me
I felt so safe
And I just wanna go home
Oh there she goes so beautiful
But she said she don't know who I am
Oh there she goes so beautiful
But she's crying
Cause she liked me better when
I was different
No one knew me then
Back in Maryland
Way before I left
I had everything
Can't forget the days
I was back home in Maryland
She lived in the eye for the first time
When I saw the world with my own eyes
But now that you're gone
I miss you so much more
Oh there she goes so beautiful
She's flying back home to Maryland
Oh there she goes so beautiful
But she's crying
Cause she liked me better when
Oh there she goes so beautiful
But she said she don't know who I am
Oh there she goes so beautiful
But she's crying
Cause she liked me better when
I was different
No one knew me then
Back in Maryland

Turn on channel seven at a quarter to eight
You see the same damn thing it's just a different day and
No one really knows why this is happening
But it's happening
And everywhere you go it's just a different place
You get the same dark feeling
See the same sad faces
No one really cares that this is happening
We come into this world
And we all are the same
In that moment there's no one to blame
But the world is black
And hearts are cold
And there's no hope
That's what we're told
And we can't go back
It won't be the same
Forever changed
By the things we've seen, seen
Living in this place it's always been this way
There's no one doing nothing so there's nothing changed
And I can't live when this world just keeps dying
It's dying
People always tell me this is part of the plan
That God's got everybody in His hands
But I can only pray that God is listening
Is He listening?
We're living in this world
Growing colder everyday
Nothing can stay perfect now I see
But the world is black
And hearts are cold
And there's no hope
That's what we're told
And we can't go back
It won't be the same
Forever changed
By the things we've seen, seen, seen
We come into this world
And we all are the same
And in that moment there's no one to blame
But we're living in this world
Growing colder everyday
Nothing can stay perfect now I see
The world is black
And hearts are cold
There's no hope
That's what we're told
And we can't go back
(We can't go back)
It won't be the same
(It won't be the same)
Forever changed
(What will ever change)

One day I woke up..
I woke up knowing,
Today is the day,
I will die.
Cashdogg was barking.
Went to the park and enjoyed it one last time.
I called my mother, told her I loved her
And I begged her not to cry.
I wrote a letter.
I said I'd miss her.
And I signed that "Goodbye".
You know the happiest day of my life,
I swear the happiest day of my life,
Is the day that I die.
Can you feel the cold tonight (the day that I die),
It sets in, but it's alright (the day that I die).
Darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I die).
All alone but I feel fine.
We took a drive and we drove through D.C.,
To see the places we lived.
Long conversations, we talked of old friends and all the
things that we did.
Summer nights,
Drunken fights,
Mistakes we made,
Did we live it right?
You know the happiest day of my life
I swear the happiest day of my life
Is the day that I die
Can you feel the cold tonight (the day that I die),
It sets in, but it's alright (the day that I die).
Darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I die).
All alone but I feel just fine..
You know the happiest day of my life,
I know the happiest day of my life,
I swear the happiest day of my life,
Is the day that I die.
Can you feel the cold tonight (the day that I die),
It sets in, but it's alright (the day that I die),
Darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I die),
All alone but I feel fine..
Did I live it right, I hope I lived it right, Did I live it
right? (the day that I die)
Did I live it right, I hope I lived it right, I know I lived
it right (the day that I die)
I don't know too much about too much of my old man
I know he walked right out the door, we never saw him again
Last I heard he was at the bar, doin' himself in
I know I got that same disease, I guess I got that from him
This is the story of my old man
Just like his father before him
I'm tellin' you, do anything you can
So you don't end up just like them
Like them
Monday he woke up and hated life
Drank until Wednesday and left his wife
Thursday through Saturday he lost everything
Woke up on Sunday, miserable again
I remember baseball games and workin' on the car
Told me that he loved me and that I would go far
Showed me how to work hard and stick up for myself
I wish he wasn't too hard to listen to himself
This is the story of my old man
Just like his father before him
I'm tellin' you, do anything you can
So you don't end up just like them
Like them
Monday he woke up and hated life
Drank until Wednesday and left his wife
Thursday through Saturday he lost everything
Woke up on Sunday, miserable again
Again
Again
Someday he'll wish that he made things right (made things right)
Long for his family and miss his wife (miss his wife)
Remember the days he had everything (everything)
Now he's alone and miserable again
It's a new day
But it all feels old,
It's a good life,
That's what I'm told,
But everything, it all just feels the same...
And my high school
It felt more to me
Like a jail cell,
A penitentiary
My time spent there, it only made me see
That I don't ever wanna be like you
I don't wanna do the things you do
I'm never gonna hear the words you say
And I don't ever wanna,
I don't ever wanna be
You
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
You..
Don't wanna be you
"Go to college,
A university
Get a real job"
That's what they said to me
But I could never live the way they want
I'm gonna get by
And just do my time
Out of step while
They all get in line
I'm just a Minor Threat so pay no mind
Do you really wanna be like them?
Do you really wanna be another trend?
Do you wanna be part of that crowd?
Cause I don't ever wanna
I don't ever wanna be
You
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
You
Don't wanna be you
Shake it once, that's fine
Shake it twice, that's okay
Shake it three times, you're playing with yourself again
You
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
Y'all got to feel me, sing if you're with me
You
Don't wanna be just like you (just like you)
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
Y'all got to feel me, sing if you're with me
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)

Spend your lazy, endless crazy days, inside my head,
You're so selfish, you're not the only one who thinks he's dead
I'm paid to smile, now I'm on trial for what you think I said
But I never said that everything would be ok,
And I never said that we would live to see another day..yeah..yeah..
[Chorus:]
Motivate me, I wanna get myself out of this bed,
Captivate me, I want good thoughts inside of my head,
If I fall down would you come around and pick me right up off the ground? [x2]
I'm realistic and narcissistic,
You say I'm selfish and absurd
You try to change me, you try to save me
You say I'm gonna learn, I'm so blind,
I'm out of time, You're so unkind sometimes,
I never lied, I never lied, I never lied
Cuz I never said that everything would be ok,
and I never said that we would live to see another day..yeah..yeah..
[Chorus:]
Motivate me, I wanna get myself out of this bed,
Captivate me, I want good thoughts inside of my head,
If I fall down would you come around and pick me right up off the ground? [x2]
(Right up off the ground.. Pick me right up off the ground.. Yeah..Oh)
Yeah, 'Cause everything, it'll be ok,
You know we're gonna live to see another day,
Yeah...yeah...yeah...yeah...
Motivate me...yeah,
(I wanna get myself outta this)
Motivate me...yeah
(I wanna get myself outta this)
Motivate me...yeah
(I wanna get myself outta this)
Motivate me...yeah
(I wanna get myself outta this bed!)
She is a diamond, I am a stone
I come from nowhere, she's been to Rome
Her dad is a lawyer, and mines not around
She has good manners, I'm rough all around
But you could come from something; you could come from nothing
You could be a princess; you could be a working man
But in the end...
We all want something else (We all want something else)
We all want something we can't have
We all want something else (We all want something else)
We all want something strange to us
Maybe a roll in the dirt, maybe a seat in first class:
We all want something we can't have.
She wants to go to restaurants in Beverly Hills and people stare
But I don't care it's just what she grew up around.
She drags me along to parties where people ask me where I went to college;
She knows damn well I barely finished school.
She knows a lot about yearly salaries and trust funds and dividends;
She knows that I don't really care at all
But we got together, and we're doing ok
But you could come from something; you could come from nothing
You could be a princess; you could be a working man
But in the end...
We all want something else (We all want something else)
We all want something we can't have
We all want something else (We all want something else)
We all want something strange to us
Maybe a roll in the dirt, maybe a seat in first class:
We all want something we can't have.
Well you can spend your whole life looking for something, something that might be
Right in front of your eyes, but you'll be looking for something else you'll never find
We all want something else (We all want something else)
We all want something we can't have
We all want something else (We all want something else)
We all want something strange to us

You come in cold,
You're covered in blood.
They're all so happy you've arrived.
The doctor cuts your cord.
He hands you to your mom.
She sets you free into this life.
And where do you go with no destination, no maps to guide you.
Wouldn't you know that it doesn't matter, we all end up the same.
These are the chronicles of life and death and everything between.
These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem.
You come in this world, and you go out just the same.
Today could be the best day of your life.
And money talks in this world,
That's what idiots will say
But you'll find out that this world,
Is just an idiots parade
Before you go, you've got some questions.
And you want answers
But now you’re old, cold, covered in blood,
right back to where you started from
These are the chronicles of life and death and everything between.
These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem.
You come in this world, and you go out just the same.
Today could be the worst day of your life.
But these are the chronicles of life and death and everything between.
These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem.
You come in this world, and you go out just the same.
Today could be the best day of,
Today could be the worst day of,
Today could be the last day of your life.
It's your life, your life.
She's got a smile so sweet
It's every little thing for my head down to her feet
Out of the magazine
And I see you on the TV
I love the song she sings
Cause when I turn around it's like she singing to me
And every word she means
Like it could be about me (it could be about me)
[Chorus:]
She sounds to me
She sounds like sex on the radio
I love to hear her scream
And when I push play she's screaming in stereo
Oh oh oh oh oh
She sounds like sex on the radio
Oh oh oh oh oh
She put sex on the radio (sex on the radio)
I knew that we would meet
At wanna those shows they do for the radio
And when she looked at me
All I said was hello (all I said was hello)
I took her out to eat
Cause we were in a city that neither one of us knew
We never went to sleep
Cause when the sun came up, we knew that we would have to go
[Chorus:]
She sounds to me
She sounds like sex on the radio
I love to hear her scream
And when I push play she's screaming in stereo
Oh oh oh oh oh
She sounds like sex on the radio
Oh oh oh oh oh
She put sex on the radio (sex on the radio) [x2]
I've got to admit, this feeling's legit
I don't wanna stop and she don't want me to quit
But she gives a little nervous with what we do,
Scare what they would say,
What they would talk about if they knew
Heard her sing a song I knew that she would write about it
Saw her in her magazine, I knew that she could keep it quiet
Keep it in the sheets, the radio the beats
Between you and me, we'll flow away back here
[Chorus:]
She sounds to me
She sounds like sex on the radio
I love to hear her scream
And when I push play she's screaming in stereo
As I start to make my way back home
Through the crowded streets
But the people come and go
All the faces that I see that seem to show
A standing ovation for you
A standing ovation for you
We're alive now
Let's just take our time now
Let's just make the most of every day we have
The most of every moment
We're alive now
Let's not waste our time now
Let's just make the most of every breath we take
The most of every second we're alive
Oh oh oh
Cause we're alive
Oh oh oh
Out the window of a train the city's go
By so fast just like days I watched you grow (I've watched you grow)
And one day you will walk away from all you know
A standing ovation is for you
A standing ovation is for you
We're alive now
Let's just take our time now
Let's just make the most of every day we have
The most of every moment
We're alive now
Let's not waste our time now
Let's just make the most of every breath we take
The most of every second we're alive
Can't you see
The world is on there feet for you and me
And it's alright, you've got me
Cause even when I'm gone I'll never leave
So go on and catch your dreams
We're alive now
Let's just take our time now
Let's just make the most of every day we have
The most of every moment
We're alive now
Let's not waste our time now
Let's just make the most of every breath we take
The most of every second we're alive
Oh we're alive
Cause we're alive
Oh we're alive
As I start to make my way back home
I can't help but crack a smile cause I know
A standing ovation is for you
A standing ovation is for you
Summer air reminds me of all the feelings of your love,
And what it was like when we were together,
Walking all along the beach, you were never far from my reach,
And you held me through the stormy weather,
[Chorus:]
And I, I want to fall in love tonight,
And I remember when you said "everything is gonna be alright"
Laying in the summer grass, you told me not to talk so fast,
As I told you how I feel,
You made me feel right at home,
You told me I was not alone and you knew just how I feel,
I know we talked about it, I just can't get around it,
I just want one more night with you,
[Chorus]
October air reminds me of all the seasons of your love,
And what it was like when we were together
The smell of fall is everywhere and though it seems,
I just don't care, 'cause now you've gone away,
[Chorus]
(Alright)
I (I wanna fall in love)
I (I wanna fall in love tonight)
Oh, in your eyes I see everything in black and white
And the pictures of our perfect life
Here by your side you make me feel so young again
and I wanna live forever
You're all dressed up and you're ready to go for a ride
Turning heads in your brand new dress
With your name tattooed on the side of my neck
I want everyone to know
You're my Bette Davis I'm your Carrie Grant
Lets make love all night forget about the prohibition
The great depressions over lets have a drink to that
We'll stay young forever living in our Silver Screen Romance
Oh the nights were cold without you hanging on my arm it's so good to be home
And now the war is over we never have to say goodbye
we can stay like this forever
You're all dressed up and you're ready to go for a ride
Turning heads in your brand new dress
With your name tattooed on the side of my neck
I want everyone to know
You're my Bette Davis I'm your Carrie Grant
Lets make love all night forget about the prohibition
The great depressions over lets have a drink to that
We'll stay young forever living in our Silver Screen Romance
We'll stay young forever, we'll stay young forever

Say that you will stay with me forever we will live this dream
You'll be Bette Davis, I'll be Carrie Grant
Let's make love all night, forget about the prohibition
The great depressions over lets have a drink to that
We'll stay young forever living in our Silver Screen Romance
We'll stay young forever living in our Silver Screen Romance
We'll stay young forever living in our Silver Screen Romance
Here I am on
The phone again, and
Awkward silence is
On the other end
I used to know the sound
Of a smile in your voice
But right now (right now)
All I feel (All I feel)
Is the pain of the fighting
Starting up again
All the things we talk about
You know they stay on my mind
On my mind
All the things we laugh about
They'll bring us through it every time
After time after time
Don't say a word
I know you feel the same
Just give me a sign
Say anything, say anything
Please don't walk away
I know you wanna stay
Just give me a sign
Say anything, say anything
Some say that
Time changes
Best friends can
Become strangers
But I don't want that
No, not for you
If you just stay with me, we can make it through
So Here we are again
The same old argument
And now I'm wonderin'
If things'll ever change, yeah
When will you laugh again?
Laugh like you did back when
We'd make noise til 3 AM and the neighbors would complain
All the things we talk about
You know they stay on my mind
On my mind
All the things we laugh about
They'll bring us through it every time
After time after time
Don't say a word
I know you feel the same
Just give me a sign
Say anything, say anything
Please don't walk away
I know you wanna stay
Just give me a sign
Say anything, say anything
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin' down
I'm fallin'

In the dark
In the darkness you will find
Dirty little secrets we all hide
Cause' we all have a darker side
A place we keep where no one else will find
Cause' everybody wants to hide their secrets away
Nobody wants to stand up to the pain
But I will stand up to the pain
Wake up and fight again
If you could dance with me through this rain
And we will fight, we’ll fight again, fight again
In the back, in the closets of your mind
Thats where skeletons and dirty secrets hide
And I'll rip out my insides
And leave them on display for you tonight
Cause' everybody wants to hide their secrets away
Nobody wants to stand up to the pain
But I will stand up to the pain
Wake up and fight again
If you could dance with me through this rain
And we will fight, we’ll fight again, fight again
(fight again, fight again)…
All my life I hide my secrets away,
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark
We all try to hide our secrets away,
In the dark, in the dark, in the dark
Stand up to the pain
Wake up and fight again
If you could dance with me through this rain
And we will fight, we’ll fight again, fight again
Fight again
Cause' everybody wants to hide their secrets away
And that’s ok
Nobody wants to stand up to the pain
Fight again

Communication is a lot like the wind when I speak,
It's like no one understands, and I'm left with empty hands,
Forever I can't speak,
So many things I'll never learn,
You can't cross bridges that you've burned,
[Chorus:]
Why is life such an issue in your mind,
Why are the answers to my problems hard to find,
So hard to find,
Don't forget to buckle when you fall,
Beneath the pressure of the seconds when,
Your life became a screamer,
Staring at the sea things become so small,
I want movies of my dreams, and pictures on my wall,
Pictures on my wall,
[Chorus:]
Why is life such an issue in your mind,
Why are the answers to my problems hard to find,
So hard to find,
You say that I'm a dreamer,
I say you're a non-believer,
Take out the light, take out the light start screamin',
I'm dreaming,
I'm a dreamer, no one believes me,
And you don't either,
So tell me what to do,
Take out the light,
Take out the light,
Take out the light,
Take out the light start screamin
[Another version - demo 1998]
communication is an art when the wind
cant speak
yelling mercy to the poor and forgiveness to the weak forever
i can't speak
a penny saved is a penny earned
when the light that you spent was a leaf left overturned
dont forget to buckle when you fall beneath the pressure of the seconds
when your life became a screamer
staring at the sea things become so small
now the pages turn
the pictures on my wall
why is life such an issue when you're mine?
why are the answers to my problems hard to find?
so hard to find
i'm dreaming
i'm a dreamer when you're screaming at a screamer)

Something isn't right
I can feel it again feel it again
This isn't the first time
That you left me waiting
Sad excuses and false hopes high
I saw this coming still I don't know why
I let you in
I knew it all along
You're so predictable
I knew something would go wrong (something's always wrong)
So you don't have to call
Or say anything at all
You're so predictable (so predictable)
So take your empty words your broken promises
And all the time you stole cause I am done with this
I can give it away give it away
I'm doing everything I should've
And now I'm making a change
I'm living the day
I'm giving back what you gave me
I don't need anything
I knew it all along
You're so predictable
I knew something would go wrong (something's always wrong)
So you don't have to call
Or say anything at all
You're so predictable (so predictable)
Everywhere I go
Everyone I meet
Every time I try to fall in love
They all wanna know why I'm so broken
Why am I so cold
Why I'm so hard inside.
Why am I scared
What am I afraid of
I don't even know
This story's never had an end
I've been waiting
I've been searching
I've been hoping
I've been dreaming you would come back
But I know the ending of this story
You're never coming back
Never..never..never..never.....[echo].....
I knew it all along
You're so predictable
I knew something would go wrong (something's always wrong)
So you don't have to call
Or say anything at all
You're so predictable (so predictable)
Everywhere I go for the rest of my life (so predictable)
Everyone that I love
Ever

Is anybody listening?
Can they hear me when I call?
I'm shooting signals in the air
'Cause I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening?
Listening
I've been stranded here and I'm miles away
Making signals hoping they'd save me
I lock myself inside these walls
'Cause out there I'm always wrong
I don't think I'm gonna make it
So while I'm sitting here
On the eve of my defeat
I'll write this letter and hope it saves me
Is anybody listening?
Can they hear me when I call?
Shooting signals in the air
'Cause I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening?
Listening
I'm stuck in my own head and I'm oceans away
Would anybody notice if I chose to stay?
I'll send an SOS tonight
Wonder if I will survive
How in the hell did I get so far away this time
So now I'm sitting here
The time of my departure's near
I say a prayer
Please someone save me
Is anybody listening?
Can they hear me when I call?
Shooting signals in the air
'Cause I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening?
Listening
I'm lost here
I can't make it on my own
I don't wanna die alone
I'm so scared
Drowning now
Reaching out
Holding on to everything I know
Crying out
Dying now
Need some help
Is anybody listening?
Can you hear me when I call?
Shooting signals in the air
I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening?
When I think about my life
I wonder if I will survive
To live to see 25 or will I just fall?
Like all my friends, they just keep dying.
People round me, always crying.
In this place that I like to call my home.
Not everybody knows that everybody goes to a better place
Not everybody knows that everybody could be living their last days
But the hard times will come, and we'll keep moving on.
We're moving on.
Keep moving on
Life.
Hope.
Truth.
Trust.
Faith.
Pride.
Love.
Lust.
On without the things we've lost but things we've gained we'll take with us.
And all I've got are these two hands to make myself a better man
I wonder if I'll ever see the end of this
With all this rain it just keeps falling
On my head and now I'm calling
Out to someone else to help me make it through
Not everybody knows that everybody goes to a better place
Not everybody knows that everybody could be living their last days
But the hard times will come, and we'll keep moving on.
We're moving on.
Keep moving on
Life.
Hope.
Truth.
Trust.
Faith.
Pride.
Love.
Lust.
Pain.
Hate.
Lies.
Guilt.
Laugh.
Cry.
Live.
Die.
Some friends become enemies some friends become your family
Make the best with what you're givin
This ain't dying this is livin
Said were movin on and we've got nothin to prove
To anyone
Cause we'll get through
Were movin on and

As I leave the empty station,
First thing I see is the sun over the mountains.
West Hastings Street, anxiously waiting.
That's when I feel that God is all around me.
And I don't know where to begin, to say I'm sorry for my sins,
So I collapse into your open arms
I'm sorry it took me so long,
Out here, for me to find my way back home.
I didn't have a reason,
For when I stopped believing,
But I needed you to know -
That I'm right where I belong.
Now I can see everything clearly,
In the rearview,
That you were right beside me.
So long ago, my voice of reason,
It disappeared, along with my convictions -
And now I know where it begins,
Accept forgiveness for my sins,
And just collapse into your open arms
If all we are is where we've been,
Then I know where I want to be.
No matter how far I drift again,
You keep a light on for me -
Out here, so I can find my way back home...
I didn't have a reason, for when I stopped believing,
But I needed you to know that I'm right where I belong now, with you,
So I'll stay quiet in your arms.
Words don't have the meaning,
There's no use in repeating,
But I needed you to know
That I'm right where I belong.
Take a look around don't you see it?
See that you are the only real face in the room
No one here has a clue what you're feeling
Don't feel bad keep your sadness alive
Look at all these happy people
Living their lives
Look at all these plastic people
Theres nothing inside
Look at all these shallow people
Telling their lies
Look at all these empty people, people
Don't you know that the misery loves company
Yeah I heard, the misery was looking for me
Happiness is a face that don't look good on me
Yeah I heard, the misery comes looking for me
Woah, misery's my company
Woah, misery is looking for me
Looking for me
The hands are up now
Everybody's singing, everybody's moving
They've programmed their feelings
They're synchronizing and criticizing
Don't feel bad keep your sadness alive
Look at all these happy people
Living their lives
Look at all these plastic people
They're dying inside
Look at all these shallow people
Telling their lies
Look at all these empty people, people
Don't you know that the misery loves company
Yeah I heard, the misery was looking for me
Happiness is a face that don't look good on me
Yeah I heard, the misery comes looking for me
Woah, misery's my company
Woah, misery is looking for me
Don't you know this misery loves me
Don't you know this misery loves me
Don't you know this misery loves me
Don't you know this misery loves me
Loves me
So you're tired of running
You're tired of hurting
You're tired of living in their lie
You're tired of listening
You're tired of hurting
Keep your sadness alive, alive, alive
Don't you know, the misery loves company

Oh, my love
Please don't cry
I'll wash my bloody hands and
We'll start a new life
I ripped out
His throat
And called you on the telephone
To take off
My disguise
Just in time to hear you cry when you...
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
The night he died
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
One last time
Singin'...
Oh, my love
Please don't cry
I'll wash my bloody hands and
We'll start a new life
I don't know much at all
I don't know wrong from right
All I know is that I love you tonight
There was
Police and
Flashing lights
The rain came down so hard that night and the
Headlines read
A lover died
No tell-tale heart was left to find when you...
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
The night he died
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
One last time
Singin'...
Oh, my love
Please don't cry
I'll wash my bloody hands and
We'll start a new life
I don't know much at all
I don't know wrong from right
All I know is that I love you tonight
Tonight
He dropped you off, I followed him home
Then I, I stood outside his bedroom window
Standing over him, he begged me not to do
What I knew I had to do cause I'm so in love with you
Oh, my love
Please don't cry
I'll wash my bloody hands and
We'll start a new life
I don't know much at all
I don't know wrong from right
All I know is that I love you tonight
Tonight
Don’t cry
Open up your eyes and know
There’s someone else out there that feels this way
I’m singing to you
Cause I know what you’ve been through and now
It’s not so long ago I felt the same
Like soldiers
March on
If we can make it through the night will see the sun
March on, march on
I remember summer nights alone
Fireflies the only thing we own
All we ever dreams of California
I remember winters were so cold
Hunger was the only thing we know
And rock n’ roll dreamin’ was what saved us
Like soldiers
March on
If we can make it through the night will see the sun
March on, march on
Till we see the sun
Till we see the sun
Through the good times,
Through the bad times
Through the long days
Through the hard nights
Keep on till we see the sun
Like soldiers
March on
If we can make it through the night will see the sun
March on, march on
Like soldiers
March on
If we can make it through the night will see the sun
March on, march on
Even when there’s no one there for you march on
Even when the days are long for you march on
Like soldiers
March on
All these dreams and all these plans,
I built them all with these two hands,
Everything I've realized my dreams.
The city lights shine down and they blind me sometimes,
But through it all I was lost but I found my way
So tell me what you want 'cause I would give you anything,
Tell me what you need and I'll go get it.
I'd give up all these dreams to have you in my arms right now,
I'd give up everything and I'd forget it.
I wasn't on a mountain
When it came to me.
All my life's been wasted,
Chasing shallow dreams.
So here we are,
Let me lift you up and show you this world over me,
And all these things what I've gained and what I've seen,
It can't compare to the love that you could give to me.
So tell me what you want 'cause I would give you anything,
Tell me what you need and I'll go get it.
I'd give up all these dreams to have you in my arms right now,
I'd give up everything and I'd forget it.
I wasn't on a mountain
When it came to me.
All my life's been wasted,
Chasing shallow dreams.
Years go by
And nothing's slowing down the time
Years go by
And then they're wasted.
All this time
I thought that I gained everything,
If you're not mine
I'm so empty.
I wasn't on a mountain
When it came, when it came to me.
All my life's been wasted,
Chasing shallow dreams.
So please come back to me, I'm right here waiting
So please come back to me now...
Yeah, this song is dedicated (This is Good Charlotte)
To every kid who ever got picked last in gym class (You know what I'm saying, this is for you)
To every kid who never had a date to no school dance (This is for you)
To everyone whose ever been called a freak (Y'all no what I'm saying)
This is for you (What?)
Here we (GC) Here we go
Yeah, uh, what, c'mon (Y'all know what I'm talking about, you all know what I'm saying)
Yeah, what, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon
Here we go, oh oh oh oh oh (C'mon) oh oh oh oh oh (Let's do this) here we go...
Like the time at school when we got free lunch and the cool kids beat us up (Reduced lunch)
And the rich kids had convertibles and we had to ride the bus (Fifty-five)
Like the time we made the baseball team but they still laughed at us (You still suck!)
Like the time that girl broke up with me 'cause I wasn't cool enough
TRICK!
Things...things...here we go
The little things, little things, they always hang around
The little things, little things, they try to break me down
The little things, little things, they just won't go away
The little things, little things, made me who I am today, GO
You wanna hate me now, but I won't stop now
'Cause I can't stop now
Yeah, what (C'mon) what, yeah (What) c'mon, c'mon, here we go...
Like the time mom went to that institute 'cause she was breaking down (I just can't take it)
Like the car we had that wouldn't start we had to walk to get around (Can I get a ride?)
And that same year on Christmas Eve dad went to the store (I'll see you kids later)
We checked his room his things were gone, we didn't see him no more
DICK!
Things...things...here we go
The little things, little things, they always hang around

So this is it
This is my life
This is my time
It's ending tonight
I made my mistakes
I tried to live right
Stepped out of the darkness into the light
And when I'm gone
Will they remember
Will they mourn
Will they move on
When my sad songs for lonely son
His time has come his life is done
And tonight
We'll celebrate the end
Of this life
And we'll sing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whhooaa aaooohh
It's alright
this is a night like we've began
With open arms
This is the way
The way I'll meet my maker tonight
And on my grave
What will it say?
Here lies another soul that was saved
So please don't cry
Just sleep at night
And I will wait on the other side
And tonight
we'll celebrate the end
Of this life
And we'll sing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whooaahh ooohhh
It's alright
This is a night like we've began
With open arms
This is the way
The way I'll meet my maker tonight
And tonight
We'll celebrate the end
Of this life
And we'll sing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whooaaa ooohh
It's alright
This is a night like we've began
With open arms
This is the way
The way I'll meet my maker tonight
Always see it on t.v.
Or read it in the magazines
Celebrities who want sympathy
All they do is piss and moan
Inside the rolling stone
Talkin' about how hard life can be
I'd like to see them spend a week
Livin' life out on the street
I don't think they would survive
If they could spend a day or two
Walkin' in someone else's shoes
I think they'd stumble and they'd fall
They would fall... (fall)
Lifestyles of the rich and the famous
They're always complainin'
Always complainin'...
If money is such a problem
Well they've got mansions
Think we should rob them
Well did you know when you were famous you could kill your wife
And there's no such thing as 25 to life
As long as you've got the cash, to pay for Cochran
And did you know if you were caught and you were smokin' crack
McDonalds wouldn't even wanna take you back
You could always just run for mayor of D.C.
I'd like to see them spend a week
Livin' life out on the street
I don't think they would survive
If they could spend a day or two
Walking in someone else's shoes
I think they'd stumble and they'd fall
they would fall
Lifestyles of the rich and the famous
They're always complainin'
Always complainin'...
If money is such a problem
Well they've got mansions

Lifestyles of the rich and the famous
They're always complainin'
Always complainin'...
If money is such a problem
They've got so many problems
Think I could solve them
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
We'll take your clothes, cash, cars and homes just stop complainin'

Lost and broken
hopeless and lonely
smiling on the outside
I hurt beneath my skin
my eyes are fading
my soul is bleeding
I'll try to make it seem okay
but my faith is wearing thin
So help me heal these wounds
they've been open for way too long
help me fill this soul
even though this is not your fault
that I'm open and I'm bleeding, all over your brand new rug
and need some one to help me sow them up
I only wanted a magazine
I only wanted a movie screen
I only wanted the life I'd read about and dreamed
And now my mind is an open book
and now my heart is an open wound
and now my life is an open soul for all to see
But help heal these wounds
they've been open for way to long
help me fill this soul even though this is not your fault
that I'm open and I'm bleeding, all over your brand new rug
and I need someone to help me
so u come along, I push you away, and kick and scream for you to stay
cause I need someone to help me
oh I need someone to help me
to help me heal these wounds they've been open for way too long
help me fill this soul even though this is not your fault
that I'm open and I'm bleeding, all over your brand new rug and
I need someone to help me sew them
I need someone to help me fill them
I need someone to help me close them up
Like It's Her Birthday
Tonight I kinda get the feeling,
My girl is up to something,
Something that is no good.
She said she only had a meeting,
But she is dressed for something,
Something that is no good.
Now I'm not saying that she's cheating,
But seeing is believing,
Can't believe it,
What I'm seeing when I stepped inside.
She's so wasted,
Acting crazy,
Making a scene,
Like it's her birthday.
Drinking champagne,
Going insane,
Falling on me,
Like it's her birthday.
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh.
This ain't the night I thought it'd be.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
She ain't shy, apparently.
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh.
Cause she's in the crowd and everybody sings.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Like it's her birthday.
She turns and says don't be surprised,
It's gonna be a good night,
A good, good night.
She's showing me a different side,
One I've never seen before,
That I ignore.
Cause when I'm up she's all about me,
When I'm down,
She spins around me,
Now I know I'm one and only,
So I might as well enjoy the ride.
She's so wasted,
Acting crazy,
Making a scene,
Like it's her birthday.
Drinking champagne,
Going insane,
Falling on me,
Like it's her birthday.
Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh.
This ain't the night I thought it'd be.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

All that I remember is that you had me at hello.
I knew right when I met her that I wouldn’t take it slow.
The more we heard the music, the more we got in synch.
The more I kept you laughing, the less I stopped to think.
The last thing I remember, you said this place is beat.
It must have gotten crazy, ‘cuz I can’t recall a thing.
Last night, can’t remember.
What happened? Where’d we go?
I woke up this morning. Where’s my car?
Where’s my keys? Where’s my clothes?
I feel my heads still spinning
but I’m doing alright
‘cuz I think I just had the best night of my life.
Last night, can’t remember.
What happened? Did it happen? Last night
Everyone’s been calling like I’ve been gone for days.
There’s a note left on the table and all it says is “Thanks”.
It’s starting to get focused and I’m finally awake.
I’m feeling kind of guilty. Is there something I can take?
There’s lipstick on my collar. I’m piecing it together.
Then I see a picture of me and you from…
Last night, can’t remember.
What happened? Where’d we go?
I woke up this morning. Where’s my car?
Where’s my keys? Where’s my clothes?
I feel my heads still spinning
but I’m doing alright
cuz I think I just had the best night of my life.
Last night, can’t remember.
What happened? Did it happen? Last night
And did I get the chance to say that I wanted you to say?
There’s things I can’t explain, ‘cuz my brain don’t work that way.
Don’t call this a one night

I will try to believe in the things I cannot see
But my faith is shaken now like it's never been before
When I call
And you don't come
I don't know what I should do
Should I call?
Should I even count on you?
[Chorus:]
I've given all I can
It wasn't enough
To keep you in my hands
Should I give up?
I try to understand
Was it ever enough?
I don't understand
So here I am once again
With my back against the wall
Afraid to show you
Afraid to tell you
I don't know you like I did
I've never been so alone
I've never felt so insecure
And now I don't know where I'm going
In my life I'm not so sure
[Chorus]
Giving up tonight
I won't let go
Won't let go of you
Giving up tonight
I wanna show you
Wanna show you
Giving up tonight
I won't let go
Won't let go of you
Giving up tonight
Am I giving up?
Giving up
I don't wanna give this up
I won't
[Chorus]
Everything you want from me
I fought so hard for everything
Everything you want from me
I tried so hard could never be
Anything you want from me
Anything you want from me
Anything you want from me
I gave it all
Let the record play,
Let the record play,
Let the record play.
The way that you dance,
The way that you move,
The way that you stare at me across the room,
You carry Dior bags,
And you got your Chanel,
You wear Louis Vuitton, HG, and YSL,
Now I got Bathing Ape,
I got DCMA
I got brass knuckles hanging,
From my neck and my chain,
I got a model 26,
But she stays in her place,
I got a kershaw neatly,
Tucked inside in my waist.
And the record keeps playing,
The same old song,
The hipsters mean mugging on me all night long,
They say "Aha, ahha",
Keep your hands off my girl,
Keep your hands off my girl,
They say "Aha, ahha",
But the record keeps playing,
The same old song,
They say "Aha, ahha",
Keep your hands off my girl,
Keep your hands off my girl.
Now she's sweating my friends,
And my hurricane shoes,
She likes the records I spin,
My Adam Barton tattoos,
But she can't say "what's up",
So what does she do,
She just stays posted up,
The other side of the room,
I got AMC tattooed on my hand,
I got black wall street on a black bandana.
And the record keeps playing,
The same old song,
The hipsters mean mugging on me all night long,
They say "Aha, ahha",
Keep your hands off my girl,
Keep your hands off my girl,
They say "Aha, ahha",
But the record keeps playing,
The same old song,
They say "Aha, ahha",
Keep your hands

I need an alarm system in my house
So I know when people are creeping about
These people are freaking me out (these days)
It’s getting hectic anywhere that I go
They won't leave me alone
There‘re things they all want to know
I'm paranoid of all the people I meet
Why are they talking to me?
And why can't anyone see?
[Chorus:]
I just wanna live
Don’t really care about the things that they say
Don’t really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live
I rock a law suit when I'm going to court
A white suit when I'm getting divorced
A black suit at the funeral home
And a birthday suit when I'm home alone
Talking at the phone-
Got an interview with the Rolling Stone
They’re saying: now you're rich and now you're famous
Fake ass girls all know your name and
Lifestyles of the rich and the famous
Your first hit aren't you ashamed
Of the life, of the life, of the life we're living
[Chorus]
Stop your messing around, boy
Better think of your future
Better make some good plans boy
Said everyone of our teachers
Look out, you better play it safe
Never know what hard times will come your way
We say where we're coming from
We’ve already seen the worst that this life can bring
Now we expect it everywhere that we go
All the things that they say
Yeah we already know
In this world all of our sins are simple
We choose death over innocent life
And in this world it's not our money that's evil
It's the one's who choose it over life
And in my heart I cannot believe in this murder
And I will not be fed by the lies
Or the life that's created just to be murdered
It's murder
No matter how hard they try and
No matter how loud they cry
They can't
Buy their way into heaven
No matter how hard they try and
No matter how high they climb up the ladder
They won't reach up into heaven
And they can't see
The innocent lives
The pointless suffering
And in my heart I wanna undo all this murder
And give back their innocent life
Open cages and stop their luxurious murder
It's murder
No matter how hard they try and
No matter how loud they cry
They can't
Buy their way into heaven
No matter how hard they try and
No matter how high they climb up the ladder
They won't reach up into heaven
Murder
Innocent Life
Innocent what...
What have we done?
No mercy (No matter how hard they try)
For beautiful money (and no matter how loud they cry)
Money for blood (they can't buy their way into heaven)
It's murder
No matter how hard they try and
No matter how high they climb up the ladder
They won't reach up into heaven
No matter how hard they try and
No matter how loud they cry
They can't
Buy their way into heaven [Fading away]
All these games you play
you're messin' with my head,(messin with my head)
I don't know why I stay
I should leave instead (I should leave instead),
When I speak from my heart
you laugh like it's a game (this ain't no game)
Yeah we'd make great friends, but it just isn't the same...
[Chorus]
And I know this is not the way it should be,
And I know you treat him like me,
But I don't wanna stop,
I don't wanna stop,
I don't wanna stop,
I don't wanna stop [x3]
Now I don't need you to buy me pretty things (you don't pay for me),
Pay for my tattoos or buy me diamond rings (we don't want those things),
All I know is that I'm happy to see you smile (i want to see you smile),
And it'd make my day if you'd just stay for awhile (stay with me),
[Chorus]
This has gone on for way too long...
And I'm tired of movin' on [x3]
Today I screwed up again,
You said I could tell in the way you said goodbye,
I saw you sitting at your t-shirt stand with your new boyfriend,
He's really cool, I get the point
[Chorus]
I don't want you, I don't want you,
I heard you, I heard you, I heard you say not a chance,
What don't you see,
I don't want you, I don't want you,
I heard you, I heard you, I heard you say you're not good enough for me
Today I screwed up again,
I wasn't paying attention, I walked into the wall again,
I heard you laugh and saw you grin,
While you were sitting at your t-shirt stand,
With all your cool friends, they're really cool,
I get the point
[Chorus]
Today I'll give it one last try,
And then I know I'll wonder why, I did it to myself once again,
I saw your boyfriend, he's 6'3", Quarterback on varsity
The football players love to torture me,
So I'm feeling like I'm not fitting in,
I know that I'm not fitting in with you,
And your stuck-up friends, I get the point
When you close your eyes and go to sleep tonight
I'll be right outside your door
Dreams will come and take you away
Let them bring you back to me
And tomorrow when you wake
I'll be next you
From protection from the day
When the tears fall down your face like morning dew
I'll be there to put a smile on you're face
And I'll say...
I don't wanna live this life without you
I don't wanna spend the night without you
I don't wanna know what it's like
I can't dream without you
I can't dream without you
Let your fire burn bright the world to see
You are the better part of me
When you hold my hand and I'll swear that I believe
I'm living in my wildest dreams
And I see ...
I don't wanna live this life without you
I don't wanna spend the night without you
I don't wanna know what it's like
I can't dream without you
Flowers for your hair
Rainbows for your eyes to see
Your dreams are everywhere
They'll carry you away from me
Away from me someday
Away from me someday
I don't wanna live this life without you
I don't wanna spend the night without you
I don't wanna know what it's like
I can't dream without you
I don't wanna live this life without you
I don't wanna spend the night without you
I don't wanna know what it's like
I can't dream without you
This world
This world is cold
But you don't
You don't have to go
You're feeling sad, you're feeling lonely, and no one seems to care
Your mother's gone and your father hits you
This pain you cannot bear
But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through
Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Your days
You say they're way too long
And your nights
You can't sleep at all
Hold on
And you're not sure what you're waiting for, but you don't want to know more
And you're not sure what you're looking for, but you don't want to know more
But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through
Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking, you're one step closer
Don't stop searching, it's not over
Hold on
What are you looking for?
What are you waiting for?
Do you know what you're doing to me?
Go ahead...What are you waiting for?
Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking, you're one step closer
Don't stop searching, it's not over
Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Hold on
Educated
With money
He's well dressed
Not funny
And not much to say in
Most conversations
But he'll put the bill in
All situations
Cause he pays for everything
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny
Paper
Or plastic
Don't matter
She'll have it
Vacations
And shopping sprees
These are a few
Of her favorite things
She'll get what she wants
If she's willing to please
His type of girl
Always comes with a fee
Hey, now, there's nothing for free
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny
And these girls like these boys like these boys like these girls
The girls with the bodies like boys with Ferraris
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Let's go!
Eh, eh!
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny
And these girls like these boys like these boys like these girls
The girls with the bodies like boys with Ferraris
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
All of these boys, yeah and all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world
All of these boys, yeah and all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world
All of these boys, yeah and all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world
All of these boys, yeah and all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world
