+ | |||

+ | So many headches, so many lies ! | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== You were there ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Had no fears, stumbled around, full of myself | ||
+ | Afraid of tomorow, never looked ahead, no-one else | ||
+ | You gave me a push, I know you believed, I know you cared | ||
+ | And friendship & courage, never looked back and freely shared | ||
+ | |||
+ | And I always lead to the extreme | ||
+ | Forget what it all means | ||
+ | |||
+ | There was a man who thougt that this world spun around him | ||
+ | Couldn' | ||
+ | Showed me a little logic, a middle path - it made sense to me | ||
+ | Now I'm finally beginning to appreciate all that you've done for me | ||
+ | |||
+ | And I always lead to the extreme | ||
+ | Forget what it all means | ||
+ | |||
+ | I have faith in you | ||
+ | And you believed in me too | ||
+ | I have faith in you | ||
+ | We've always tried to be true. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Poison in your brain ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Suck it your senses, drink it down your throat | ||
+ | Hooked on their addiction, is there any hope ? | ||
+ | In a sex wrapper, in a gilded cage | ||
+ | We've been captured animals, but we should be enraged | ||
+ | |||
+ | Poison in your brain ! | ||
+ | |||
+ | Earth and air and water will never be the same | ||
+ | Sold for the sake of progress for so little gain | ||
+ | A pill for pleasure, a pill for pain | ||
+ | Take a pill for sel-esteem, they' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Poison in your brain ! | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Live Today ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | We've made our efforts for happiness - | ||
+ | well that endeavor caused more distress | ||
+ | How could you expect success unless…you lived today | ||
+ | |||
+ | Tomorrow' | ||
+ | and sure it's good to have some. | ||
+ | But instead of all this dreaming well why not just live today. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Hope for that day that I can find the perfect situation where all is fine. | ||
+ | Just chasing my tail this hope of mine…I' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Trust no future however so pleasant. | ||
+ | Let the dead past bury it's dead. | ||
+ | Act, act in the living present. Live today. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I know I've been waiting for a time that is present every moment. | ||
+ | I know his hankering has cheated out of a life but I'm gonna live. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== It Never Rains ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | You couldn' | ||
+ | You always demanded some attention. | ||
+ | I'll be damned if I understand | ||
+ | why you always have to have your name mentioned. | ||
+ | You thought that's what you wanted - you thought you knew. | ||
+ | But you never really had a clue. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It never rains. | ||
+ | But watch out when it pours. | ||
+ | Play the fame game isn't it strange fuck with your brain. | ||
+ | Who's now your friend and who's now your fan? | ||
+ | They' | ||
+ | They don't want to know you, they just want to hold you, | ||
+ | and then let you go. | ||
+ | But you just hated being in the shadows - so here you go. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It never rains. | ||
+ | But watch out when it pours. | ||
+ | |||
+ | They' | ||
+ | For just being the person you are and doing what you do. | ||
+ | But you really know it's the same foolish you. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Just One ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | I know it's the substance that really counts, but we're into number | ||
+ | we judge by amount. I know it the good, not just the plenty and with | ||
+ | all our abundance we end up empty. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We deserve cake but we've settled for crumbs, | ||
+ | but I know one is better than a 1000… | ||
+ | |||
+ | Taught how to purchase we consume by the pound but open us up | ||
+ | there' | ||
+ | It could simply imbibe a one sentence | ||
+ | of truth it's outweigh all the shit we drank up in our youth. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Motivation ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Romantic embrace a kiss on the face. | ||
+ | He loves her like lions love lamb. | ||
+ | He's got an agenda so he'll befriend her. | ||
+ | But friendship he can't understand. | ||
+ | |||
+ | She needs to be seen Queen of the scene. | ||
+ | She wants to conquer her man. | ||
+ | She says she adores him. | ||
+ | She'll take whatever she can. | ||
+ | |||
+ | He's a popular guy | ||
+ | so we'll always try to imitate his style. | ||
+ | We hope he'll accept us, but if he rejects us | ||
+ | we were fools all the while. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== We Spoke Our Minds ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | I knew to keep quiet was the crime of the time. | ||
+ | And if I did try it - It would be the death of my mind. | ||
+ | They said to be loved you must tow the party line. | ||
+ | But I can't pretend so I left it behind. | ||
+ | |||
+ | So we spoke our mind. | ||
+ | And I'll never find that I'm a lesser man for speaking my mind. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Popularity traded but at least I would speak | ||
+ | and my critics still wait for me to trip on the street. | ||
+ | When this world rains disaster why take a back seat. | ||
+ | We must move forward, let the meek remain weak. | ||
+ | |||
+ | So we spoke our mind. | ||
+ | And I'll never find that I'm a lesser man for speaking my mind. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Nightclub ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | I know the guy at the door we won't have to pay. | ||
+ | Party all night, sleep in the next day. | ||
+ | Last nights girls' home by the phone. | ||
+ | Go in by yourself but don't go home alone. | ||
+ | |||
+ | And we just stand and act and talk about nothing. | ||
+ | What else is there to do. Another day on stage. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Why not live to investigate but we just sit and hallucinate. | ||
+ | This song is meant to instigate. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Who's wearing what? Who's kissing butt? | ||
+ | Everybody' | ||
+ | (We' | ||
+ | but coming up empty in the night club. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== You Were The One ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | I've known you a long time. | ||
+ | What you meant to me | ||
+ | I thought you knew, I thought you could see. | ||
+ | Lived life - for hours we were never apart | ||
+ | what made it sour - you broke my heart. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You were the one - That made me unafraid. | ||
+ | You were the one - who would have thought | ||
+ | our friendship would fade away. | ||
+ | You were the one - that made me feel so alive. | ||
+ | You were the one - I want you to know how much | ||
+ | you made me cry. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Do you even notice that there' | ||
+ | I could never bring it up. How could I dare? | ||
+ | You played dumb, I don't think you really care. | ||
+ | Always wanted to spill my heart, but I was too scared. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You were the one - that made me unafraid. | ||
+ | You were the one - would have thought our | ||
+ | friendship would fade away. | ||
+ | You were the one - that made me feel so alive. | ||
+ | You were the one - I want you to know | ||
+ | how much you made me cry. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Alternative Nation ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Our alternative nation where all the individuals | ||
+ | are just being the same. | ||
+ | Massive imitation, | ||
+ | just a 90's version of the same rock and roll game. | ||
+ | Yes, the same corporate rock | ||
+ | but now we're sporting punk rock gear. | ||
+ | Who's shocked by tribal tattoos and your pierced ears? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Search for identity - | ||
+ | you put in your time to grow to your dread locks. | ||
+ | Change the inside or you'll be just a freak, but you'll act like a jock. | ||
+ | Costume changes - | ||
+ | will never give you the answer you're looking for. | ||
+ | Personality can't be purchased in a skateboard store. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A music revolution? No, I will not invest. | ||
+ | Same old institution, | ||
+ | |||
+ | We change our scene, | ||
+ | we change our fashion, but can we change our mind? | ||
+ | An alternative nation' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Has the pit just become the dance of the dead. | ||
+ | We're moved by vibration with no brains in our head. | ||
+ | Ego boost put you up on the top of the crowd. | ||
+ | You only care that the music is loud. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== When Seasons Change ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | You've got to let me grow, got to let me be me. | ||
+ | Did you really think that time would freeze? | ||
+ | A stagnant stand still just see - see what you've got? | ||
+ | To know you've got to grow, got to move from your spot. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When summers gone and autumn comes and | ||
+ | everything has changed. | ||
+ | Why is it so strange? Why should we complain? | ||
+ | |||
+ | Stuck in the scene circles as fads grow and die. | ||
+ | But positive living and thoughtful thinking don't apply. | ||
+ | We must learn what to embrace and what to throw away | ||
+ | or we'll make the same mistakes tomorrow that we beat yesterday. | ||
+ | |||
+ | When summers gone and autumn comes and | ||
+ | everything has changed. | ||
+ | Why is it so strange? Why should we complain? | ||
+ | |||
+ | When seasons change will I stay same? | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Is It Education...? | ||
+ | |||
+ | High school enforced the way to achieve diploma | ||
+ | will get you all that you need. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Follow their system bent to their threats | ||
+ | and 4 years later you're buried in debts. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Is it education of just wasting your time. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Learned how to drink and how to get laid, | ||
+ | and when it's all over you want to get paid. | ||
+ | Been called a loser, ruined moms dreams, | ||
+ | but I don't rate success by some college degree. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Is it education or just wasting your time. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I know what you've been taught. I know how you feel. | ||
+ | I know that you've been caught and it's lost all it appeal. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Apology ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Ingenious ways of wasting time. | ||
+ | Misused intelligence seems like a crime. | ||
+ | Internet gossip got you glued to the screen. | ||
+ | Ignoring the world beyond your five favourite zines. | ||
+ | |||
+ | And I'm sorry for the apathy. | ||
+ | And I'm sorry for the lethargy. | ||
+ | Won't let it get a hold of me. | ||
+ | Cause I won't settle for mediocrity. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I heard your plans, | ||
+ | please go through with it. | ||
+ | I won't criticize, | ||
+ | I've got no use for it. | ||
+ | Armchair critics?! | ||
+ | They already blew it. | ||
+ | Let the dogs bark - | ||
+ | I'm just going to do it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The way we walk, | ||
+ | or talk we've just been playing. | ||
+ | We've been playing these roles. | ||
+ | Its plain to see we've lost sight of our goals. | ||
+ | Oh yes, just obsessed to impress. | ||
+ | Is that what - | ||
+ | is that what we consider success. | ||
+ | Consider success. (x2) |
