If you feel like a riot, then don't you deny it
Put your good foot forward No need for heroics, I just want you to show it Now's the time to shine Your independence is a half-assed deliverance The train left the station The recognition of the same old condition Your symptoms showing through Well, regardless of the truth You still act so aloof In the face of your judge and jury You got the nerve to say not guilty Can you sting me, yeah Can you sting me, ooh Can you sting me Can you sting me right to my rotten bones Yeah, right down to Well, the bell rings out for the crimes of the century Courtesy of your mother Well, the sign reads welcome to the valley of discovery Look at what money can buy Sons and daughters better open your eyes Tell me what you're seeing 'Cause this submission is a tired tradition It's everyone's sacrifice Oh, believe you me I've got nothing up my sleeve 'Cept this heart and a chip on my shoulder You see, I'm young and I'm not getting older Can you sting me Can you sting me, ooh yeah Can you sting me Can you sting me right to my rotten bones Ooh, come on my sweet young thing What new things you wanna show me today I got one question, believe it's subjective What is a wasp without her sting? I don't mean to sound bitter Yeah you touch me baby just like murder Living ain't so easy When all I want from you is to sting me Can you sting me Can you sting me, oh yeah Can you sting me Can you sting me Can you sting me Can you sting me You wanna sting me |

Baby, baby, why can't you sit still?
Who killed that bird out on your window sill? Are you the reason that he broke his back? Tell me, did I see you laugh about that? If I come on like a dream? Will you let me show you what I mean? Will you let me come on inside? Will you let it glide? Can I have some remedy? All I want is a remedy. Remedy for me please. Cause if I had some remedy I'd take enough to please me. Baby, baby, why you dye your hair? Why you always keeping with your mother's dare? So, baby why who's who, who know you, too? Did the other children scold on you? If I come on like a dream? Will you let me show you what I mean? Will you let me come on inside? Will you let it slide? |

Wake me when the day breaks
Show me how the sun shines Tell me about your heartaches Who could be so unkind? Do you dream to touch me? And smile down deep inside Or could you just kill me? It's hard to make up your mind, sometimes. My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride. My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride. Are you wanting inspiration You spill your secrets on me Then you tell me with a whisper Of things that will never be. Do you hear me breathing? Does it make you want to scream? Did you ever like a bad dream? Sometimes life is obscene. My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride. My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride. My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride. My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride. Lover cover me with your sleep Let your love light shine, let it shine Lover cover me with a good dream Let your love light shine, let it shine |

With my winter time
My idols and stage fright In another night Where the lights are loud and bright One dream from waking up saved Too shy to hold in the rage I know no luxury Of knowing what your eyes read I know one million ways To always pick the wrong thing to say |

To lessen my troubles
I stopped hanging out with vultures And empty saviors like you I wish I had a nickel for every miracle That you easily tricked me into You can lead a horse to water But faith is another matter So don't you surrender Cause sometimes salvation In the eye of the storm I've no time for accusations Or conversations on all the bad, bad things you do. Just a note from your jailor Drugs and the relations To all the people around you You can lead a horse to water But faith is another matter So don't you surrender Cause sometimes salvation In the eye of the storm I've kept secret your superstitions And all its twisted wisdom That I fell into Sister can you try and find me? |

Oh good heavens, baby where's my medicine?
I must have left it outside with my etiquette The undertaker's rule of thumb It's hard to talk with a novocain tongue This room smells like hotel illness The scars I hide are now your business I can't seem to make hair nor hide of this No baby love is not a punishment. Hypnotize by your rotten behavior This week's fashion is last year's flavor I got a head full of sermons and a mouth full of spiders The politics of the world's greatest liar So tell me baby is it true all those things that they say about you... |

Sleeping eyes sleep awhile
And let me get to know your language If I believe all I see I would hate to be around for the dawn Sleeping eyes stay awhile And give me some cause to rejoice A parody of the scene Where my three wishes were granted to me What you got buried? In your backyard What secret do you sleep with when the black moon come Sleeping eyes please come clean I'm not giving you the third degree When you live with no man's time Ain't it hard to find some peace of mind Sleeping eyes don't you cry And don't pretend this is not an ending Your history yes it seems Has been swept out with the leaves |

Rooster crows at the break of dawn
A mother dies without her only son A doctor laughs in the face of disease I never once heard a preacher say please And you, you want to be heard But none of us understand a word And you, you want to be free Then don't speak like a slave to me. Policemen who break the laws Politicians rise and fall A baby crying for its mothers milk A daddy's secret hidden guilt And you, you want to be heard But none of us understand a word And you, you want to be free Then don't speak like a slave to me. |

Dizzy found me last night
Saw some kind of new light I woke up in a whirlwind Just you watch my head spin The spectacle that made you cry It's a thrill a minute plane ride It's over time at ring side, no lie March me down to the seven seas Bury me with a ruby ring Kiss me baby on an Easter Sunday day Make my haze blow away I hide I seek and I find Truth in a fable faith in a rhyme So why you want to bad talk me Are you surprised by what we see? Like the tables and the tides turn On my bed the emperor worn Is that enough for me, could be If music got to free your mind Just let it go cause you never know, you never know If your rhythm ever falls out of time You can bring it to me and I will make it alright And if your soul is let go Oh you never know, no you never know And if your heart is beating free For the very first time it'll be alright |
