Buildings will replace the trees
Pollution will replace the air we breathe I'm close to the mountain, just miles away But I can't see the hills from here today We can't just let it pass us by And as I look into the sky Something in the atmosphere is telling me it won't be here for long Take a picture of this place cos extinction is not so far away Our skin will fry like a steak well done When there's nothing between us and the sun We can't just let it pass us by And as I look into the sky Something in the atmosphere is telling me it won't be here for long Until it's gone - Until it's gone Until it's gone - We'll never miss it until it's gone, gone, gone All the efforts seem to fall With cars and cans of aerosol I feel so guilty, then my pride will die When I see the grey, self-created sky Until we find a better way We'll have to learn from all our big mistakes Something in the atmosphere is telling me it won't be here for long Until it's gone - Until it's gone Until it's gone - Until it's gone You'll never miss it until it's gone, gone, gone Seems like a letter that we cannot send Fells like aluminum we cannot bend Tastes like a mixture that we cannot blend But we must change the course of the recipe to the end, to the end |

She was corruption when I was destruction
I'm seein' through her eyes like cellophane It used to be I'd see her face and feel so small Now the only face I see is the picture I'm throwing darts at on the wall Where did she go? When loneliness is all I had to show If I couldn't trust her then, who could I trust? The pillow is wet with tears and permanent rust Just when I thought I was out of the dark I'm holding her tight and she breaks the light She was dead in my mind, but her ghost is still around It comes back to haunt me, it doesn't want me It just happened to be passing through my town It took so long to realize the truth I resent every word I said... That's when I knew, one and one don't make two! I knew that sleepless night when she never came home She's probably drinking somewhere knowing I'm alone The road to nowhere is a long winding street Maybe someone will be there at the end, But it won't be me! |

Countdown
Another body found for the government to ignore Another home is lost from someone who was poor Another cop caught beating up on innocence Another law that seems to make no fucking sense Another person tested positively to HIV Natural disaster is just something we don't need Another politician's life remains a mystery Another mountain side that we cannot see The media has built a fortress or what is wrong? Newspaper headlines, do they tell us what is right, I wanna know exactly what the fuck is going on All around our minds Just a matter of time before it comes here to this town The clock is winding down Will I see it broken before I lay down and die Another wall is built between color and race ...countdown Another fact is not exactly what you read Another chemical is dumped into the sea Another wrong decision about peace is made Another piece of land that just could not be saved Another day, Another pain, Another misery Another education that could not be paid Another killer in the street is roaming free I've got a feeling, I've got a bad feeling inside |

Just read an article on clogging arteries
Renewed subscription to my health food magazine Don't wanna die young, paranoid about the future I'm only 19 and I'm a health food connoisseur Right now I'm sitting in a room I could be lying in a box if I don't eat right Some people tell me what is good and bad for me I don't trust anyone but health food magazine Mom makes me food that sucks and I refuse to eat Lock myself in my room, lose thirty pounds a week Stay locked in your room all day, Your warped imagination Stacks of books are piled high, with useless information Let your anxiety tell you what is good and bad for you Let paranoia tell you what to do You always say that it's a hazard to your health Why don't you put your fucking fear back on the shelf Because the only hazard I see, the only hazard I see The only hazard I see is yourself Signed a petition to get smokers out of here I got the figures on second hand smoke death rate every year Can't go outside my room, you know I just can't leave I'm too afraid that I will get some weird disease My doctor tells me I'm a hypochondriac He claims he can help me, but he'd stab me in the back Been all around my room, There's nothing good to eat Health magazine with ketchup is my new delicacy |

Another morning and I'm awake
The same old thing on a different day I want to drive but my tank is dry But the ground is wet with rain Greedy people are pushing me Needy people in misery It's a push & shove community But how the hell can I complain On the other side of town People are sleeping on the ground Look not far and you will find A tragedy, the daily grind Seems like when the times are tough That hope is down and the price goes up There's not enough jobs to fill a cup And the streets are filled with shame Here I am in a traffic jam And ugly faces stare me down They call this the right side of town But still I can't complain On the other side of town People are sleeping on the ground Fighting wars that can't be won Twelve year-old boy with a gun Look not far and you will find A tragedy, the daily grind |

It used to be easy to listen to people
And take everything with a grain of salt But now that I'm older I still hear voices I do not wish to be involved I don't want to be involved With the incinerator anymore that lifestyle is such a bore Find the door I want to leave this place Can't take it anymore Locked in a room and The flames are burning down around me And now I see the door But I won't find a key It's kinda sad but i'll never find A better place to be I'm not feeding the fire anymore It makes me want to keep it locked inside You got the gasoline but I don't have a light I wanna hang out it's not a good time I'd rather be somewhere that I could find People that don't live off the words That are said by someone else Cause talking shit is so bad for your health |
