I've been looking at the people that are gathering around I've been here for an hour or maybe even more just looking at the people that I've never seen before stupid little faces are all I can see those silly little suckers are all laughing at me no wills cheap thrills you're puppets to the master your only satisfaction is my lonely disaster you learned how to creep and you learned how to crawl but you never really learned anything at all when I was a boy everything was just fine I learned how to talk and how to walk in line I had to learn the rules that build our society but I could never understand it didn't mean shit to me everybody always told me I was out of my mind but I never did kiss anybodys behind I'm a lot older and I guess I should know but I'm standing on the roof just watching the show standing on the edge and my step belongs to me and I'm telling you all I won't miss what I see one foot over theres no time to turn around both feet are over and I'm heading for the ground I'm flying in the air and I can feel the cool breeze the people on the pavement have gone into a freeze no space no time it's like walking on the moon my heart is still beating but It won't be soon I can hear myself scream when I hit the street I can't feel a thing from my head to my feet I told you I would do it and I didn't even cry I feel more alive dead then when I was alive |

it turns me inside out to feel the pain of your distress you push the needle deeper in your arm for every hour I know your life was so beautiful but now it's turned into a mess I've tried to understand you but the thoughts seems so unreal that a person would forsake herself and try to break herself with pain just like a child you're so innocent and you long so much to feel but instead you push the needle deeper down your vein sad to see you sad to see your sorrow you know I've seen you in so many diffrent ways the reflections of your agony are scared upon your face warm the spoon just to numb yourself from much much better days and you hope that someone else is there who might want to take your place everything you scream I hear you thought you scream so silent and you're longing for your babychild to be in a much better place so addicted to your loneliness full of self destructive violence you still try to love your child and see the smile opon it's face sad to see you sad to see your sorrow..... take away the pain and take away the sorrow I cry in silence hoping you'll come through take away the pain you could be dead tommorow I wish that I could help you but there's nothing I can do I WISH I COULD HELP YOU BUT THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO I feel as if I'm by your side even though you're far away from here the poison mingles with your blood and slowly satisfies you but what I wonder most of all is if you really want to disappear you keep struggleing with emotions mixed inside you please don't disappear you know to many people love you but you see you're still the only one that can ever dry your tears so don't you rely on anyone below or up above you you better grab your life and then get a grip before it disappears sad to see you sad to see your sorrow |

Are you satisfied with everything the way it is
Are you stuck in the conformity of minding your own biz Does a confrontation make you want to turn and run and do you think about the things you'd like to have undone Are you scared of looking back at all the things you've said and do you keep the words you'd like to say inside your head well nothing changes by itself without some kind of clash and there's always gonna be some barriers to smash Are you scared to be, scared of what you see Are you scared to change, scared to rearrange There's a chance that you never take the chances you get If you never move ahead you'll keep on looking back the only thing you're doing is just filling out the cracks Another coat of artificial paint won't change a thing unless the whole foundation gets a brand new colouring What is there to lose except some insecurity that you replace with faith to not be scared of what you see 'cos every little risk you take breaks down another wall the biggest chance that you can take is just to let it fall Are you scared to be, scared of what you see Are you scared to change, scared to rearrange There's a chance that you never take the chances you get There's a chance you haven't taken any chances yet |

How come all the things you say just don't make sense to me
Why do we spend so much time just refusing to agree If you say you like something you know I'll say I don't and when you want to do something that's fun you know I won't Why is it always my turn to take care of this mess I don't think it's fair to say I'm always doing less You don't know what I do so I don't think you should moan and if you're so much better you can do it on your own Nobody loves me like I do, not even you Nobody needs me the way I do, not even you Nobody knows what I'm going through, not even you You always make me feel like everything I do is wrong and things would be much easier if we could get along but every time I criticize you you overreact please don't tell me one more time that opposites attract that has to be the biggest fucking lie I've ever heard Don't tell me to shut my mouth I haven't said a word You're the one that started it and you know that I know so what's the use there's no excuse you know that no means no Chorus Is there really any point in working this all out all we ever do these days is fight and scream and shout Maybe we should give it up and just call it a day I can't think of anything I even want to say I've done my share of caring and it isn't any good I'm sick and tired of feeling like I've been misunderstood so give me one good reason and I'll stay right here with you I can't take another day I don't know what to do Chorus |

I was dreaming that I was caught up in the middle of a parade
but I wasn't paying attention to the statement being made and when I looked up at a banner and saw just what it said then I wished that I was somewhere else instead Because the message on the banner was for white supremacy and no matter how hard I tried it didn't make any sense to me so I studied the people around me trying to think of what to say but the only thing I could think of was to laugh and walk away I was dreaming that I was talking to a man about his faith and I was far away from home in some kind of exotical place The situation was such that when I looked at my surrounding I got nervous and my heart just started pounding I realized that I was the only man that was Caucasian All the people around me looked like oriental Asian I was a legal alien in a difficult situation but I could relate to the state I was in when I thought about discrimination Was I in the wrong place at the wrong time or was I in the wrong state of mind Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind Was I in the wrong place at the wrong time Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind I was dreaming that I was at home and when I took a look around it was as if the entire population had suddenly gone underground I was standing all by myself and there was no one to be found the only thing worse than a terrible noise is not even hearing a sound There wasn't a trace of a human face as far as my eyes could see I started to feel kind of lonely and I wanted some company I had to make do with myself and the thought didn't appeal to me 'cos the only thing worse than to many people is feeling completely lonely Was I in the wrong place at the wrong time or was I in the wrong state of mind Chorus Anybody could be related with a monkey in a tree or an ancient tribe from Africa but that doesn't bother me I've probably got lots of relatives that are Jews and nobody knows Maybe that's the reason for the size of my big and beautiful nose My family tree is a mystery that comes from all over the place so tell me the logical definition of a perfect race Some people are dressed in a darker tan and some have a lighter shade and I can assure you nobody's sure exactly where they were made Was I in the wrong place at the wrong time or was I in the wrong state of mind Chorus |

I'm the answer to your questions, I believe when you're in doubt I'm based on a rumour, I'm spread by word of mouth There's no proof of my existence I'm a myth that you arouse I'm your life and religion, your faith and your hope Your drug and your addiction your injection of dope I'm everywhere and nowhere I'm your saviour when you sin I'm your great escape to higher ground when you give in I'm everybody's scapegoat I'm a glimpse of clarity Would you sacrifice yourself for me?

I think I'm going crazy I'm losing my mind
'cos the logic of the story is impossible to find Like a talking head I'm gonna stop making sense 'cos bad news is like sitting on a burning fence I've got one hot minute of the higher ground and like Simon said I know that silence is the sound Nevermind I'll reach nirvana even if I have to pay I'm a fool for a lifetime and a king for a day Crazy I'm going fucking crazy Crazy I'm going fucking crazy Crazy I'm going fucking crazy Crazy I'm going fucking crazy I'm a loser looking for the mellow gold but in the garden of sound you know the story's getting old so I'll sow my korn by the helmet in the bush and in the meantime I want you all to help me push with the tool of intolerance I'm ready to crack 'cos I've got suicidal tendencies so lets get whacked I'm gonna suck up the dust and light the fire inside and take a rollercoaster ride to the bizarre side Chorus I'm insane in the brain like a looney tune and I'll see you on the dark side of the moon I'm the man in the box locked up in chains and I'm buried deep down underneath the remains I'm a psycho maniac welcome to my nightmare I'll use your brain like chemical warfare I'm out of my mind lets count the bodies born dead and last but not least you better check your head Chorus |

After all these precious years you chose to just give in
why did you leave so many things undone I only scratched the surface of the thoughts you had within and for me your life had just begun Why did you think that you were never good enough to give when you accepted me right from the start I never saw the side of you that didn't want to live and i miss you from the bottom of my heart What was it that you never told a soul about yourself what kind of thoughts were buried inside was there really no one there you thought would understand or was the only barrier your pride with so much love around you i just wish you'd loved yourself 'cos no one here can ever take your place you were someone special and my words just can't express how much i miss the warmth of your embrace Why did you just give in why did you just give up and let it go I guess I'll never know It's hard to see you disappear without a real good bye there's so many things i wish I'd said But all the little things you did that made it all worthwhile ment more than all the tears you ever shed You always seemed so happy but I guess no one can tell what goes on inside a persons mind you loved your children dearly and you did your very best and someone new like you is hard to find Chorus All the things you went through for your children every day and all the sacrifices that you made were worth much more than anything that wealth could ever buy and now that love can never be repayed In the end I guess you couldn't take it anymore so you closed your eyes and swallowed all your pain I know that you've done the same so many times before but all the questions in my mind remain |

Is it the faggot in you that's doing the talking,
why can't you accept what you see Could it be you're afraid that you're not quite as straight as you've been making yourself out to be Cos' you talk about it like it's a disease In desperate need of a fast remedy You keep on telling us all how you feel so damn sorry For their pain and all their agony The male that's inside of you is rejecting the female inside of you, find the faggot in you Tell me one thing why can't you realize It's not something a person can plan It's not like you wake up and get out of bed And decide to fall in love with a man It's either there or it's not and there's no right or wrong And there's no big decision to make Cos' we are what we are and we feel what we feel And that's something you'll just have to take Chorus If you're so sure and you feel secure About yourself and your reality Then why do you need to reject and refuse Where other people stand sexually You've got a problem if you have a problem With seeing two people embrace Cos' regardless of sex race colour or creed It's something you'll just have to face Chorus If you're so certain that you can't fall in love With a man then what is there to fear It could well be that the truth of the matter Is in fact that you're actually queer |

Yes sir, no sir - anything goes
Change your looks and change your clothes Get in where you fit in play by the rules Masturbating with the fools Play the game, choose a side Learn to lose, fuck your pride Taking no chances making safe bets Acting like a teachers pet Making your way but still not climbing You're too worried about your timing Shake those hands, fake that smile Kiss that ass and sit back And hate yourself with style Photostat, copycat, imitator Faker, traitor, moneymaker You're not a giver you're just a taker Good for nothing impersonator Shake those hands, fake that smile Kiss that ass, sit back And hate yourself with style (3x) *voices* Yes sir, no sir anything goes Change your looks and change your clothes Get in where you fit in play by the rules Masturbating with the fools Play the game, choose a side Learn to lose, sit back And hate yourself with style (5x) |

You treat me like I'm fucking useless
What makes you think I even care I think this whole affair is fruitless And it won't lead to anywhere I never said you had to like me I never shove shit down your throat When you still act like you're above me With all that heartless crap you wrote You try to suffocate me, you try to violate me, you try to fill me with all your dirty lies You try to ridicule me, but I won´t let you fool me, cause you're so pitiful and easy to despise (easy to despise) What have you done that might impress me, can´t think of anything at all Don't even want you to adress me, it's not like you make the calls, You compensate your lack of talent. Talentlessly slagging what you hate How does it feel to kill a deputant? So you can put food on your plate You try to suffocate me, you try to violate me, you try to fill me with all your dirty lies You try to ridicule me, but I won´t let you fool me, cause you're so pitiful and easy to despise (easy to despise) I don't know how to raid a failure, so I got nothing more to say And I'm so sick of your behavior, so watch me when I walk away You try to suffocate me, you try to violate me, you try to fill me with all your dirty lies You try to ridicule me, but I won´t let you fool me, cause you're so pitiful and easy to despise (easy to despise) You try to suffocate me, you try to violate me, you try to fill me with all your dirty lies You try to ridicule me, but I won´t let you fool me, cause you're so pitiful and easy to despise (easy to despise) |

Embrace the child in you don't hesitate to let him shine
It takes a laugh or two go with your heart and free your mind Don't try to be adult it doesn't lead to anywhere It's no one elses fault your own emotions make you scared Just face the fool in you and let that sucker slip on out Don't try to play it cool that's not what life should be about It only takes a smile and suddenly you've dropped your gaurd And made another friend it doesn't have to be so hard Breakout, embrace the child inside you Take off that mask and show your face Breakout and face the world around you Wake up and cut straight to the chase You're chasing waterfalls instead of racing up the stream Just make the most of life and live out all your wildest dreams Just let the fuckers out let go of everything you've got Instead of waasting time by being someone that you're not You're place is here and now don't let nobody grind you down You can't be ridiculed don't be afraid to be a clown Let go of all your pride and find your way down to the core A stuck up attitude turns you into a crashing bore Chorus |

What kind of world is this that we're living in
when a man accused guilty of rape Is still free'd from the charges miraculously if he confesses that he's made a mistake Is a woman supposed to just spread both her legs and let the sexual ritual proceed If she doesn't say no do you have her permission to treat her any which way you please Does the fact that she's wasted somehow make it accepted That she can't tell what's right from what's wrong Are the clothes that she's wearing an obvious signal That the rape is allowed to go on You take it for granted cos' you've got the advantage It's a logic that I find hard to follow It still doesn't mean that the decision is yours And I find your excuse hard to swallow He clears his name, & she get's all the blame If a woman raped a man, would the verdict be the same Tell me what were you thinking, if you even were When you forced her to go all the way Did you feel like a big man when you were on top of her Did you make that bitch pay You're not a man, you're the scum of the earth You had the whole thing planned from the start & you've got the guts to say you feel like a victim there's not a soft spot in your heart He wins the game, & she get's all the blame (you clear your name?) If a woman raped a man, would the verdict be the same you make it seem as if she should have seen it coming as if that was a valid excuse but whatever you say you still know what you've done and NOTHING justifies the abuse It takes two too tango so don't you try and tell us That you were sure that you heard her say yes We don't believe you it's your cock doing the talking So why don't you just fucking confess |

I'm good for nothing, I'm a fucking bad excuse
The truth is that I just can't be of any use So show me where the noose is and watch me when I die I've made so many knots that I don't know how to untie I've tried every angle, tried to handle my emotions I'm strangeling myself up to the point of self implosion I'm drowning in an ocean full of thought so self abusive It's a downward spiral, it's the hate that hate produces I make myself, so sick of myself x3 I hate myself I'm stuck in a corner this is my own private casket Four walls around me I feel like a sitting target I can't find the exit without asking for directions But I can't find it in me, to ask you any questions I don't like suggestions and I hate to take advice Cos' that's a sign of weakness, I can't make that sacrifice The vice is that I'm selfish but I still need recognition I fear and loathe myself when I'm forced into submission I make myself, so sick of myself x3 I hate myself All the hate I hide in me is constantly misguiding me And all my mixed emotions slowly building up inside of me It's like an evil guide in me is breaking down the pride in me I don't know what's right from wrong my feelings are dividing me All the hate I hide in me Is building up inside of me And breaking down the pride in me It's like something has died in me |

It's funny how my title puts me in a position
Where I'm allowed to say I represent the opposition Like I'm on a mission to overthrow the government As if my ambition was to try and seem intelligent I'm not even competent enough to win an argument Or ignorant enough to be a little disobedient But I still believe that what I say can make a difference The problem is I can't hear what I'm saing from a distance No matter what I say, no matter what I do No matter what I think, I'm not as good as you I'm such a hypocrite, I'm so full of it I'm such a hypocrite, I need another hit It's funny how I come across as some kind of a teacher Considering I never even liked my fucking teachers Now it's reached the point where all the expectations Are building up a barrier creating limitations While you're debating if I've got the right to an opinion Well silly me I thought I was allowed to be civilian All I ever did was say exactly what I'm feeling Without filtering my thoughts to make myself appealing Chorus |

There's no god for you to worship, no master to obey
There's not a soul that you can blame for all the stupid things you say There's nowhere you can turn to, no words to justify Cos' no currency is valid for the faith you want to buy No more excuses, no need for blind belief There's no one to accuse to break yourself a bigger piece No books to follow, no quotes to twist around There'll be no more bending over just to reach for higher ground GOD IS DEAD, HE'S JUST A VOICE INSIDE YOUR HEAD GOD IS DEAD, HE'S JUST A MONSTER UNDER YOUR BED GOD IS DEAD, HE'S JUST A VOICE INSIDE YOUR HEAD GOD IS DEAD, HE'S JUST A GHOST UNDER YOUR BED There's no need for false confessions, no more feeling guilt No powerlords to kneel before, no crosses being built There are no rules for you too live by, no other cheek to turn Stop begging for forgiveness, there's no lesson you must learn No future conflicts no opinions that collide There's not a trace of blood on your hands you don't have to choose a side No pointless killing and no more feeling shame No sacrifices being made in someone elses name Chorus It's all make believe it's all conceived in your own dreams You're painting pictures of imaginary scenes It seems like you're looking for some kind of confirmation But you're in desperate need of a different revelation Chorus |

First of all I make sure I've got the right ingredients
Before I heat up the pan I take a little bit of bitterness to grease it up And keep everything close at hand Then I add a few ounces of fresh frustration and half a cup of attitude A rush of adrenaline to spice things up And then half a spoon of bad mood One bottle of my sweat one bottle of tears A few drops of my own blood It all blends together like a cat and dog And the result is as clear as mud I pick the worst situation out of the bunch And throw it right into the mix And last but not least I add a little bit of spit Just a few little nasty cliques That's my recipe for hate I turn up the heat to 400 degrees and go to work on the attitude I shake it all up in a provocative way to make sure it comes out rude Then I grind down the frustration hard so that all of the scents can blend I pour the sweat on top and then the tears To make sure that I don't make friends When the mood is wrong, everything is right, I can add the adrenaline But I've got to be careful with the dose I use The effect shouldn't wear to thin The blood comes last cos' it always has a tendancy to cool and coagulate So I calculate and make no mistakes It's so fresh that it still pulsates That's my recipe for hate... When the meal is done you get a spoiled appetite And a dish full of disagree some ignorance on the side A plate full of hate, served with a fistful of me |

How many times will it take before we pull the breaks
Will we learn from all the past mistakes That it's all about give or take How many times will it take before we start to make Can we make hope out of hate Can we set the records straight Now I want to get the message through to you How can I make you understand You've got to give a helping hand What do we need, is it to achieve and believe Is it that we've got to be true Is it just a point of view Some day there will be a tomorrow Another day another vice another roll of the dice Some way there will be a tomorrow tomorrow Too many times there has been too many different signs That too many people's minds In the past have been blind How much of our time can we spend wasting our time Even all the biggest crimes Are coming from inside our minds It's up to you, will you do what can be done Will you let the rat race be run Do you think it can be won So what's the cause, why do we need so man We can't win them any more Chorus How many times will it take before we start to make Can we make hope out of hate Can we set the records straight What can we do What can we say Is there a way To get the message through to you Chorus |

There's nothing a god can give to me that i can't give to myself
I put my beliefs in the things I believe and a god can take care of himself there's not enough love in the world for me to think about wasting my time It's not that I don't believe at all but I don't need a heavenly sign I can achieve the things I need without getting down on my knees I can respect your religion but i don't want to pay your fees I don't want to hear you talk about the things you think that i need so don't help me back on my feet again until you can hear me pled Just look in the holy book of crooks and tell me what you can find all the rules and the regulations made to manipulate your mind don't pretend that you're blind just open your mind and study historical times the bigger the loss the bigger the cost the bigger the cross and it's crimes I don't believe in a god that I need to worship I don't believe that I need to get down on my knees I don't believe that a voice from above can help me I only believe in what I can see and the things that I can achieve Whatever belief you belong to there is always a reason to doubt and there's always another opinion as to what life is all about there's always a bigger dimension and a different point of view so I don't want to try to change you that decision is up to you Whatever your final choice is and however you choose to live you better be happy for what you can get and happy with what you can give there's only one thing to remember there is only one thing you can do and that is to do unto others as you'd have others do unto you Chorus Two sides two sides to every story two stories more makes four new ones to choose Four sides four sides to every story four stories more makes eight new ones to choose Eight sides eight sides to every story eight stories more now which one should you choose now which one can you use |

I'm two steps away from stepping over the edge and getting lost in the great unknown
Because one small step in the wrong direction is enough to shake the cornerstone Whereever I'm thrown no matter where I end up it can't be any worse than here If I'm sincere with myself then tell me what else is there really left for me to fear I'm two steps away from just killing myself because I'm sick and tired of being the prey but when I'm dead everything that I've said will lose its meaning and fade to grey I'm not ready for that I'd rather counterattack Instead of leaving my own song unsung Because I'm too young to die and I can never justify not breathing air into my lunges I'll take one more step until somebody stops me I'll take one more step until somebody stops me I'll take one more step until somebody stops me I'll take one more step until somebody stops me I'm two steps away from making somebody pay for every time that I've been deceived How can I believe a single word you say when I know you've got a card up your sleeve I might be naive but I'm still forced to believe that all the best in life is yet to come That's why I refuse to lose my faith in myself even after all the wrong that you've done (Chorus) |

They're out get me,I can't escape cos' they won't let me
They won't forget me,They'll get me in their grip and sweat me They'll wait me out,and then move in under my skin They'll make me doubt,They're out to make me let them in I can't escape them, there's nowhere I can run and hide Make one mistake and, that's when they work their way inside They'll try and take me, they'll break me down and suck me dry I can't' let them shape me, they'll make me up and make me cry They're out to get me I want to leave but they won't let me out They're out to get me I wan't to leave but they won't let me out They won't forget me They'll get you in their grip and sweat me out They're gonna hit me, cuff me up and then bullshit me Then they'll outwit me, dress me up and make it fit me They'll lock the door now, Keep it shut and throw away the key They'll turn the lights out, What no one knows, nobody sees |

Get a gun to protect yourself from someone else with a gun
Being armed up to the teeth that means you don't have to run Better safe than being sorry,better alive than being dead Better him than me you say as you aim your gun at his head You live your life at gunpoint don't be scared be prepared It's peace you say that you fight for but it's war you declare Take a life to save a life you call that living in peace? It takes more than a piece of metal for the peace to increase Are you man enough to hold a gun? Are you man enough to turn your back and run? Are you man enough to take a life? Are you man enough to make one? with your finger stuck on the trigger you're one hell of a man but you won't be much of a macho when the blood's on your hands if you live by the gun you'll die by the gun I promise you that and you ain't got a goddamn thing if all you've got is a gat History repeats itself but still we don't pull the brakes What will it take for us to learn to learn from our own mistakes I'd rather die defending my own right to never bare arms Than live pretending a gun will keep me safe from bodily harm Chorus If sacrifice is the price for freedom then tell me what's the use killing someone to prove that killing is wrong still ain't no excuse how can you believe that death will make the suffering cease prepare to sacrifice your life once the bullet's released Chorus |

You want confrontation without knowing what you're gonna hit
you kick up shit in all directions but no one seems to benefit You waste your hate on decent people who don't deserve to feel your pain You keep on breaking your confidence down until you drive yourself insane You make accusations To justify your own abuse Instead of just directing your anger where it could come to some use You turn your back on bigger problems and let them go over your head and then you turn someone you know into your biggest threat Instead You want confrontation You want confrontation You want confrontation You want confrontation Everything you say is bullshit so don't raise your fucking voice all you ever do is scream just for the sake of making noise cos' You want confrontation cos' You want confrontation What's your motivation when you start to yell and shout If you don't know when to be patient How can you learn to let it out? You can't react without all sense of logic That's like beating yourself with your fist tell me what you can accomplish If you can't even learn to resist You make accusations faster than you throw a dart if you don't where you should aim it how can you turn hate into art stay focused on the things that annoy or be caught in the same trap you set becos' no one will need to destroy you if you're chasing your own silhouette You want confrontation You want confrontation You want confrontation You want confrontation Everything you say is bullshit so don't raise your fucking voice all you ever do is scream just for the sake of making noise cos' You want confrontation I'll give you confrontation cos' You want confrontation I'll give you confrontation You want confrontation, well that's what you're gonna get You want confrontation, You ain't seen nothing yet You want confrontation, what's the fucking use You want confrontation, have you got a good excuse You want confrontation, Is that the best that you can do You want confrontation, Tell me something new You want confrontation, Who's confronting who You want confrontation, Now I'm confronting you |

Why don't you want to talk to me does it feel easier to pass me by
you read my face like I'm a fucking disgrace and you never look me in the eyes the truth is always easiest to ignore and that's why you walk the other way but is it really that hard for you to think of something comforting to say Don't look at me as If I'm different Don't look at me as If I wasn't there Don't look at me as If I'm no good Don't look at me as If you didn't care,as if I wasn't there! You walk a little faster like you're trying to say that you really haven't got the time and when I put my hand out for a coin or two you just pretend that you've gone blind It seems hard for you to show any compassion for me but it wouldn't hurt for you to try reality can be painful but tell me have you ever wondered why? (Chorus) You like to keep a safe distance from me to make sure that we never meet and just in case I might be dangerous you quickly turn and walk across the street You're so scared of the sight that you see that you decide to never understand Instead of judging me by the way that I look,accept me for who I am Instead of judging me by the way that I look,accept me for who I am Instead of judging me by the way that I look,accept me for who I am Instead of judging me by the way that I look,accept me for who I am (Chorus) |

I say I decide myself what's to become with me... Simon says there's not a chance, we're let or get alone, none of us say anything but we both think he's wrong... You say we can choose the path of life we walk upon, I say I already know which path I'm walking on... Simon says the both of us, we're not allowed to move, none of us say anything but we both disapprove... Simon says... (5x) You say we can change the world if we can change itself, I say I can change the world before I change myself...

I close my eyes and hope that this is just another dream
Reality can't really be as bad as it seems I hope for something better but I'm waiting for the worst And when I open up my eyes I see the bubble burst All my dreams are broken as the world is torn apart Was it really meant to be this way right from the start If this is all we live for then I wish that I was dead Just so I could stop these thoughts from going through my head I close my eyes I close my eyes (3x) I close my eyes again and wish that everything was fine Even though I know that I'm just wasting precious time I'm losing my direction life is driving me insane The more things keep on changing the more they stay the same So please somebody catch me before I hit the ground I just can't understand what makes this crazy world go round The more I look around me the less I seem to know If this is all there is then I don't know where I can go I close my eyes I close my eyes (3x) I close my eyes and wish that I could turn back time I close my eyes and wish that I could press rewind I close my eyes and wish that I could change my mind I close my eyes and wish that everything was fine I close my eyes one final time to make my vision clear The more I try the more my vision seems to disapper The world keeps turning around as I turn my inside out I'm doing all I can to understand what life's about But everywhere I seem to look the answer isn't there Nobody's asking questions cos nobody seems to care There has to be some sort of meaning and a reason to exist If this is all there is there must be something that I missed I close my eyes I close my eyes (3x) I close my eyes and wish that I could turn back time I close my eyes and wish that I could press rewind I close my eyes and wish that I could change my mind I close my eyes and wish that everything was fine I close my eyes |

They say that the toes that you step on while you're on your way up
may be the same ones that you kiss going down Whatever it takes is what you're willing to do but what goes around will come back around There may be room at the top with the cream of the crop but you better be prepared for the hunt becos' the ones you see now at the back of the line where up front, so tell me, are you prepared to make the sacrifice are you strong enough to live your life..like a fool in paradise The things that you say while you're the star of the show will be remembered when your legacy fades so think what to say before you say what you think or learn to live with the mistakes that you've made The grass is always greener on the other side that's because it's not the side that you're on and all the friends you had when you were number one they're all gone so tell me, are you prepared to make the sacrifice are you strong enough to live your life..like a fool in paradise Like a fool in paradise (3x) Like a fool in paradise (7x) I'm a fool in paradise |

You know I never believed you were for real
I don't appreciate you or understand how you feel everytime no matter what I might find you give me a feeling that It ain't mine I don't believe in wasting time and you give me a sign that you're out of your mind It's frustrating not knowing the score but when you walk across the room towards the door,I'm sure You ain't ever gonna walk my way Cos' I know that you've never liked me anyway,so don't stay I wouldn't notice cos' I't ain't no loss all you ever did was cheat on me and double cross I won't be satisfied until you're gone but I still want to know what is going on You know that I've tried but I'm losing my hope I can't cope cos' you're tripping and you're slipping like a soap on a rope I won't break I won't bend I'll avenge I'll get you in the end The sooner you go the better,goodbye I won't miss you and I think you know why, You were never really much of a giver You took alot away from me but I was always a forgiver and forgetter But now I know better so I'm leaving you hanging and you won't be forgiven till I know that you're not living,anymore I'm gonna get you like a fly on the wall I'm gonna pull off your wings and watch you crawl then I'm gonna crush your balls You better believe that I'm gonna make you small I gotta get whatever I want I want it all and I want it up front,here we go I'm willing to bet'cha that I'm going to get'cha and you're gonna regret that you ever even met me,I know [Chorus] All I can think about is getting revenge and that'll be the day all my misery ends but until I choose to make me move I wan't you to think that you've got nothing to lose but I promise you you'll pay your dues the one place I wouldn't want to be is in shoes What can I say I'm gonna make you pay I'm gonna make you wish you never got in my way get you back for all the wrong you did for everything you put me through when I was a kid I'm gonna neglect you and disrespect you and then I'll reject you when you least expect me to and no matter what you do you're screwed You'll get your rights rejected and they won't be re-newed I'm gonna throw the first stone this time hitting you hard when you're off gaurd and the revenge is mine [Chorus] |

[Originally performed by Ultravox]
[From the album Vienna. Single released 17th January 1981.] We walked in the cold air Freezing breath on a window pane Lying and waiting A man in the dark in a picture frame So mystic and soulful A voice reaching out in a piercing cry It stays with you until The feeling has gone only you and I It means nothing to me This means nothing to me Oh, Vienna The music is weaving Haunting notes, pizzicato strings The rhythm is calling Alone in the night as the daylight brings A cool empty silence The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky It fades to the distance The image has gone only you and I It means nothing to me This means nothing to me Oh, Vienna This means nothing to me This means nothing to me Oh, Vienna |

Don't tell me that I wouldn't understand
You know that's just another bad excuse even if I don't approve of what you might demand I still appreciate to hear the truth I've heard a thousand lies during my lifetime from people who don't dare to just attack But I prefer to see some sort of lifesign Rather than have people pat me on the back Fake a smile and make it Shake a hand and make pretend that I'm a friend Your main objective is to stay afloat That's why you always try and play it safe You're so scared of sinking every time you rock the boat and that's why you never look me in the face You try to be someone that I've accepted And that's the reason why you don't fit in I can't talk to someone who's unable to object and that's why the conversation's growing thin |
