High school seemed like such a blur,
I didn't have much interest in sports or School elections. And in class I dreamed all day, About a rock 'n' roll weekend. And the girl in the front of the room, so close yet so far ya know she never seemed To notice That this silly school-boy crush Wasn't just pretend. Life goes by so fast, you only want to do what you think is right. Close your eyes and then it's past; (It's the) Story of my life. And I went down to my old neighborhood, The faces have all changed, there's no one left to talk to. And the pool hall I loved as a kid Is now a Seven Eleven. I went downtown to look for a job, I had no training, no experience to speak of. I looked at the holes in my jeans And turned and headed back. Life goes by so fast, you only want to do what you think is right. Close your eyes and then it's past; (It's the) Story of my life. Good times come and good times go, I only wish the good times would last a Little longer. I think about the good times we had And why they had to end. So I sit at the edge of my bed, I strum my guitar and I sing an outlaw Love song. Thinkin' 'bout what you're doin' now And when you're comin' back. |

Bad Luck
Some people like to gamble, But you, you always lose. Some people like to rock 'n' roll, you're always singin' the blues You gotta nasty disposition, No one really knows the reason why, You gotta bad, bad reputation, Gonna hang your head down and cry...: You got bad, bad luck Bad, bad luck You got bad, bad luck Bad, bad luck Thirteen's my lucky number, To you it means stay inside. Black cat done crossed my path, No reason to run and hide. You're looking through a cracked mirror, No one really knows the reason why. Your enemies are gettin' nearer, Gonna hang down your head and cry...: You got bad, bad luck Bad, bad luck You got bad, bad luck Bad, bad luck Some people go to church on Sundays, others they pray at home. You tell them that there ain't no God, that they're better off standin' alone. You're always scratchin' at the eight ball, No one really knows the reason why. You get to the top and then you fall, Gonna hang down your head and cry... |

Under my thumb's the girl
Who once had me down; Under my thumb's the girl Who once fucked me around. It's down to me, The way she talks when she's spoken to; down to me, Change has come, she's under my thumb Under my thumb's A squirmin' dog who's just had her day; Under my thumb's A girl who has just changed her ways; It's down to me The difference in the clothes she wears; down to me, Change has come, she's under my thumb. Under my thumb's A siamese cat of a girl Under my thumb's The sweetest pet in the world, It's down to me, The way she does as wash your soul out of me; Change has come, she's under my thumb. Under my thumb, Her eyes are just kept To herself; Under my thumb, Well, I I can still look at someone else. It's down to me, The way she comes when I tell here to down to me; Change has come, she's under my thumb. Yeah |

Well, I'm goin' to a place
Where the tough guys go And come out even tougher A place where a man don't show his feelings A place where a man don't cry They say I'm being punished And they say I can be reformed But some day I'll return Did they really think that This time it would work? You know all along it wouldn't Oh, I'm prison bound I did a crime One too many times It's on the outskirts of town By the railroad tracks Where the country moon shines Oh, I'm prison bound Tell my girl I'll be back one day Oh, I'm prison bound I may never know any other way (Any other way) Well, they take away my freedom Of expression or action Johnny says I'll walk the line With three hots and a cot And a lot of talk With lock up Concrete and steel Well it's cold and it's clammy Man, it's colder than a pimp's heart But I gotta do my time There's a lesson to be learned here But what a price to pay You know, I may never learn Oh, I'm prison bound I did a crime One two many times It's on the outskirts of town By the railroad tracks Where the country moon shines Oh, I'm prison bound Tell my girl I'll be back one day Oh, I'm prison bound I may never know any other way (Any other way) |

An emotional outbreak, stepped on by
people's feet, controlling panic, who'll be the next one in line, a nervous disturbance, there's a sniper on the top of the roof, the masses of people, fitting through one single door |

I'll be vigilant
I'll be silent Yes know one will know You want something for nothing A toast on your grave I just wanna give you the creeps Run and hide when I'm on the streets Your fears and your tears I'll taunt you in your sleep I just wanna give you the creeps |

Well I'm in another state, another state of mind,
I wish that I could be there right next to her This road leads to this, this one leads to that, Her voice sends shivers down my spine. These scars in my flesh, I'm bruised and I'm bloodied Only she know the pain that I've been through. Talk to her a thousand miles away, There's tears in her eyes. If I make it back I'm gonna show her, she's the one for me Hitch a ride on the wild side, It's real hell on wheels. There's gonna be a fight tonight, I know. Another city we can't find, Another city left buried behind. As I picture her, the cities burn away. These scars in my flesh, I'm bruised and I'm bloodied Only she know the pain that I've been through. Talk to her a thousand miles away, There's tears in her eyes. If I make it back I'm gonna show her, she's the one for me |

Uninvited feelings
They come without a warning and stay too long. I don't wanna feel , and if I run they'll be twice as strong. I wait for a warning, I'm waiting for some kind of sign . I try to seperate, Try to seperate my body from my mind . Cold feeli |

Well I love the sound when I smash the glass
If I get caught they're gonna kick my ass My mommy's worried about the way I drink My daddy can't figure out the way I think They wake me up, tell me, to get to work I slam the door, say, shut up you jerk I can't wait 'til the show tonight When I'm with my friends every things alright They're telling me, but I'm telling them I'll do it my way, I'll always win When the sun goes down I'm ready to play It doesn't matter what anybody says Well I love the sound when I smash the glass If I get caught they're gonna kick my ass My girls stands very close to me That's just where I want her to be they say it costs $6 to get in this shack I'll go around sneak in the back I hope the police don't show up here Then we'll have to hide out of fear |

When I was young, I was so full of fear
I hid behind anger, and held back the tears It was me against the world; I was sure I would win But the world fought back; punished me for my sins Well, I felt so alone; so insecure But I blamed you instead; made sure I was heard They tried to warn me of my evil ways But I couldn't hear what they had to say I was wrong.. Self-destruction's got me again I was wrong... I realize now that I was wrong And I think about my loves; well, I've had a few I'm sorry that I hurt them; did I hurt you too? Well, I took what I wanted; put my heart on the shelf But how can you love when you don't love yourself? It was me against the world; I was sure that I'd win But the world fought back; punished me for my sins They tried to warn me of my evil way But I couldn't hear what they had to say I was wrong.. Self-destruction's got me again I was wrong... I realize now that I was wrong I was wrong... I was wrong... Well, I grew up fast, and I grew up hard Something was wrong from the very start I was fighting everybody; I was fighting everything But the only one that I hurt was me I got society's blood running down my face Somebody help me get out of this place How could someones bad luck last so long Until I realized that I was wrong |

[Chorus:]
Atom bomb, TNT new disease, Poor city flying over hiroshima, 1945 the city looks small from way up here i wonder who'll survive, [Chorus] Poor city a blinding flash hotter than the sun, Dead bodies lie across the path the radiation colors the air finishing one by one, [Chorus] |

Children are taught to hate, parents just couldn't wait
Some are rich and some are poor, others will just suffer more Have you ever been ashamed and felt society try to keep you down? I begin to watch things change and see them turn around Turn around, they'll try to keep you down Turn around, turn around Don't drag me down Ignorance like a gun in hand, reach out to the promised land Your history books are full of lies, media-blitz gonna dry your eyes Have you ever been afraid, and felt society try to keep you down? I begin to watch things change and see them turn around Turn around, they'll try to keep you down Turn around, turn around Don't drag me down *guitar solo* Ignorance like a gun in hand, reach out to the promised land Your history books, are full of lies, media-blitz gonna dry your eyes You're eighteen, wanna be a man Your granddaddy's in the Ku Klux Klan Taking two steps foward, and four steps back Gonna go to the White House and paint it black... Turn around, they'll try to keep you down Turn around Turn around, they'll try to keep you down Turn around, turn around Don't drag me down |

Love is a burning flame
And it makes the firery rain Bound by one desire I fell into a ring of fire [Chorus:] I fell into a burnin' ring of fire I fell down down down And the flames went higher And it burns burns burns That ring of fire That ring of fire The taste of love is sweet When hearts like ours meet I before ya like a child Oh, let the fire burn wild [Chorus] |
