I thought I knew you well, your right and wrong
Thought I could steal your secrets and put them in a song I thought that you'd be waiting patiently for me That only I could see You build me up and tell me lies You hold my hand, say close your eyes You're always pulling me down You make me lower my expectations You're always pulling me down Why do you complicate situations You're always pulling me down I don't know what else to do I'm still in love with you I wish that I could see things through your eyes I want to lift the veil and penetrate your lies I want to take your truth and hold it in my hand Maybe then I'll understand You contradict in a thousand ways You call the tune and guess who pays |

Oh doctor help me please
I'm dying, crippled with disease My Body's aching limb to limb My bones are glowing through my skin When I look up into black skies Mushrooms grow before my eyes Doctor save me if you can I'm a desperate man repeat As he lay thinking he was dead A burning pain short through his head He looked into those tired old eyes Heard forty years of anguished cries And this doctor said Your eyes were open But you shut them with your mouth You always heard But you weren't doing the screaming You'd only just woken But Already, you'd forgotten, What you were dreaming Such a sad case The failure of a human race |

Hey hotshot, your're a one man band
The Don on the block with a glock in your hand With the girl and the ride, you dont't wanna hear Think you're getting respect, all you've found is fear The one damn thing you're sure to find Is another gun, where you gonna hide? Said you'd never never run, I guess you lied You're the fool in the crew that died Your mother cried Hold your fire, cool your temper Young guns ever too bold Hold your fire, just remember Young guns never grow old Hey hotshot, you're a one man band The Don on the block with a glock in your hand With the girl and the ride, you dont't wanna hear Think you're getting respect all you find is fear The one damn thing you're sure to find Is a bigger gun to blow away your pride Your young blood running in the roadside And in the crossfire, innocents died We all cried Hold your fire, cool your temper Young guns ever too bold Hold your fire, just remember Young guns never grow old. Hey hotshot, you're a one man band The don on the block with a glock in your hand With the girl and the ride, you dont't wanna hear Think your getting respect, all you've found is fear Hold your fire, cool your temper Young guns ever to bold Hold your fire, just remember Young guns never grow old Hold your fire, cool your temper Young guns ever too bold Hold your fire, just remember Young guns never grow old Young guns never grow old Young guns never grow old |

We can drag you out of bed in the middle of the night
Drive tanks along your street looking for a flight We can put you in a cell an dash away the key Make you stand against the wall torture chamber stylee The reason is simple, it's obvious to see We can shoot at you but you can't kill we Don't you see, don't you see, your not an army The reason is simple, it's obvious to see Right is on your side but the media's with we Don`t you see, don't you see, your not an army The thing you must remember since these troubles first began Were supported by a tax paying population And if the rest of this world is against we It's a fact that the people of this country won't see They can give you a trial by military But you won't be sentenced politically You'll be beat by other prisoners for political views But you just another killer when we read it in the news |

[Verse 1:]
In a world that seems so fake, artificial everything; Oh I just want be real, I gotta say how I feel, can't wait. Always looking at myself, Never liking what I see; I never gave me the chance, Never knew what I really could be. [Chorus 1:] (Better than living a lie), (it's better than wearing a disguise); Take a chance on you, (You just be you), (take a chance on you). [Verse 2:] I can't say the world has changed, They still judge by what they see. Though I can't help what they say, I know who's inside of me. It's okay to take that chance, Try your possibilities (possibilities); No one can do what you do, Or stop all the things you can be (they can't even stop what you're gonna be). [Chorus 2:] (Better than living a lie) living a lie, (it's better than wearing a disguise); Take a chance on you, (You just be you), (take a chance on you, on you). [Bridge:] The grass is always green on the other side, It's when you're looking through your insecure eyes. And it's better than living a lie (living a lie), So much better than wearing a disguise, (take a chance on you) You just be you, (You just be you, You just be you). [Ending:] It's better (better) Than living a lie (living a lie), So much better than wearing a disguise; (take a chance on you), (take a chance on you), (take a chance on you), You just be you. |

Chorus
You could meet somebody, you never know From brief encounters habits grow Into giant oaks that hide the sun Life in the shadows ain't no fun It's easy getting up there Never think of coming down Not hard to say "I want you" When you're floating on a cloud But you know that lonely feeling When nothing's going right 'Cause it's only the beginning Of a cold and sleepless night Chorus You could meet somebody, you never know From brief encounters habits grow Into giant oaks that hide the sun Your only chance is to turn and run It's harder getting up there And it's painful coming down And now you can't see clearly Beneath the thunder cloud And the loneliness gets longer When nothing's going right And things ain't getting any better With another sleepless night Chorus You could meet somebody, you never know From brief encounters habits grow Into giant oaks that hide the sun Your only chance is to turn and run |

I'm sitting here praying that you weren't just saying
당신이 그렇게 말하지 않았길 기원하며 여기 앉아 있어요 Leaving tomorrow was What you had planned 당신은 내일 떠나기로 되어 있죠 No point in pretending, 아닌 척 해봐야 소용없어요 I know that it's ending 이것이 우리의 끝이라는 걸 아는데 I just wanna know where the ending began 다만 알고 싶어요 대체 어디서 이런 파국이 시작됐는지 * chorus Where did I go wrong to make it like this 일이 이 지경이 되도록 내가 어디서 잘못했던가 No warmth in your body, no touch in your kiss 당신의 따뜻한 체온을 느낄 수 없고, 키스도 할 수 없다니 Holding you now hurts more than it should 지금 당신을 안고 있는 게 너무나도 가슴 아파요 If I let you go, girl, You'll be gone for good 만일 당신을 가게 두면 영원히 떠나 버릴 텐데 I thought you had saved me, 당신이 날 구해줬다고 생각했어요 the love that you gave me 당신이 준 사랑은 The sweetest loving in all of the land 이 세상 최고의 달콤한 사랑이었죠 But you've taken my heart, 하지만 당신은 내 마음을 빼앗은 후 and you've torn it apart 내 가슴을 아프게 하고 And it's crumbled to dust in the palm of your hand 아무 것도 아닌 것처럼 산산히 부숴버렸어요 * chorus There's nothtin' worth sayin' 말해봤자 아무 소용없어요 I know you're not staying 당신이 머물지 않으리란 걸 알기에 Might as well face it, 차라리 받아들이겠어요 It's out of my hand 내가 어쩔 수 없는 일이니까요 No point in pretending, 아닌 척 해봐야 소용없어요 I know that it's ending 이게 끝이라는 걸 알아요 I just wanna know where the ending began 다만 알고 싶어요 대체 어디서 이런 파국이 시작됐는지 |

Silence falls on no-mans land
To echo on uncertain footsteps Sharp of iron quick of hand Advancing forward to regrets Under foot the and mortars Slip away the codes of warnings From the top the barking orders Light the sky and leave that morning CHORUS Seek asylum from the terror Reaching out for what its worth Shelter from the raging anger Raining down on bitter worlds Those the people all whose hurting Getting lost between the lines Its the stuff that keeps returning Laughing lound in victors lies Up above on winds declaring Soon the cold will whistle through Push aside the warm sea air That fills the sails that carry you CHORUS X3 Many miles are put between oh What once was and what will be Sleep all night and dream sweet dreams Step inside to history Every whisper sings resistence All emotions hide inside Refugee looks to the distance Out there somewhere lies his pride CHORUS |

I've been away
High on a breeze Tasted the salt of the seven blue seas Verse 1 Washed upon shores Sun in my eyes Stayed long enough just to say my goodbyes... I walked in the rain Wet me through and through Following rainbows that lead me back to you Chorus I've always believed In what I've been told Where rainbows end there's a pot of gold... I'll read the stars Talk to the moon Stop when I hear somebody playing our tune Verse 2 Any excuse And you'll see me Drifting back home to the place I should be... Some people say Listen to me Mostly I find that I disagree Verse 3 They tell me to change Set myself free I'm not convinced I don't want to be me Maybe I'll stay Maybe I'll go Maybe I'll stick around I don't know Verse 4 One thing for sure This I can say I'm coming back; I've been so far away |

And tell me that it's yours (repeat chorus) For you to use as you see fit verse 1 So me and mine are forced to quit And watch you devastating it And tell me it belongs to you You have the right, and I am wrong You call the tune, I sing your song And where I live, I don't belong you tell me it belongs to you (repeat chorus) You have the right, and I am wrong verse 2 You call the tune, I sing your song And where I live, I won't be log You tell me it belongs to you You get the riches, I have none I do your work, you have the fun I breathe your air, you block my sun And tell me it belongs to you (repeat chorus) |

Are you wondering why No one talks any more And all you hear Is the cry for war Are you wondering if There are people who Hurt inside the same as you There are grey-faced men always telling me Things ain't like they used to be You kids have got no self respect Wake up old man to your neglect It's dog eat dog It's hand to mouth It's east and west It's north and south Just like you drummed it into me Things ain't like they used to be I'll tell you why I can't afford To hang my hopes upon your word And when I'm done, I'll join the queue And take my chance, no thanks to you It's in or out It's stop and go It isn't what It's who you know I've heard you, now can you hear me Things ain't like they used to be Ancient rules for ancient men But this is now and that was then Don't lay your heavy hand on me And sink me in your poison sea It's us and them It's me and you It's guessing games It's what to do Exactly like you said to me Things ain't like they used to be Chorus Are you wondering why No one talks any more And all you hear Is the cry for war Are you wondering if There are people who Hurt inside the same as you |

A misfit who is old before his time
Poverty has turned him to crime Boredom gives him too much time to think He pours another drink. Chorus A burning, bitter taste of irony A prisoner in the land of the free. He wonders why his landscape looks so strange Burger bars are home on the range An empty bottle falling from his hand He doesn't understand. Chorus A burning, bitter taste of irony A prisoner in the land of the free. A cork unlocks the door to other lands Of battles won and destinies in hand A half-remembered state of liquid dreams Where things aren't what they seem. Chorus A burning, bitter taste of irony A prisoner in the land of the free. A naked savage dressed in shirt and jeans A burning, bitter taste of irony A prisoner in the land of the free. Chorus A burning, bitter taste of irony A prisoner in the land of the free. |

And then, all too soon The dancing stops and the children stand The piper calls the tune.

With songs of fear and bigotry A cruel, hypnotic sound He plays his last tune greedily And strikes the children down. |

A smile for every passing car
And when they stop with door ajar She shrugs and whispers que sera And turns her thoughts to the pillow Her face is etched with memories She finds now joy amid the sleaze It's hard when you've been paid to please So she turns her thoughts to the pillow Chorus Daylight comes she rests her head The beauty of an empty bed She dreams of happy days instead Of brooding on tomorrow She swapped her dreams of shining knights For pushers, bars and money fights For nameless faces in red light So she turns her head to the pillow Those black eyes don't hurt any more She's heard the jokes and jibes before She's felt the long arm of the law So she turns her head to the pillow Chorus Daylight comes ..... Etc Taking drugs was not for fun It made her feel like going on But now she hurts when its all gone And she turns her head to the pillow She take a blade and breaks her skin Sweet life force flows from within The white clouds in her head grow dim And she turns her head to the pillow Chorus Sunlight creeps across her head Pale beauty in a crimson bed No dreams of happy days ahead She'll have no more tomorrows |

A warm dry wind is all that breaks the silence,
The highways quiet scars across the land. People lie, eyes closed, no longer dreaming, The earth dies screaming. Like scattered pebbles, cars lie silent waiting, Oilless engines seized by dirt and sand. Bodies hanging limp, no longer bleeding, The earth dies screaming. The earth dies screaming The earth dies screaming Your country needs you, lets strike up the band. The earth dies screaming The earth dies screaming Despite all odds we must defend our land. Half eaten meals lie rotting on the tables, Money clutched within a boney hand. Shutters down, the banks are not receiving, The earth dies screaming. |

Together we are free To throw away the rule book And start with ABC We can go to all the places We always wanted to be It takes a bad girl like you To love someone like me If you're looking for a daddy You won't get that from me There are things I want to do to you That he should never see You will never scare me baby You can try anything with me It takes a bad girl like you To love someone like me Don't need no little woman A wallflower's not for me The only way I want you girl Is independently Wont't lock you up in prison And throw away the key It takes a bad girl like you To love someone like me Not looking for redemption It's much too late for me The two of us together girl Can set each other free Children need a mother Buts it's not the same for me It takes a bad girl like you To love someone like me |

And it's a sunny day.
It's just too hot to be working But you've got to pay your way. Chorus So here I am sitting at the bus stop Wishing I was somewhere else Where I didn't have to work my rocks off Wishing I could please myself. Ten hours a day I'm grafting Under the bosses eye, Earn just enough to keep going, Making cars I'll never buy. Chorus So here I am sitting ........... Five days a week I'm giving, My time is clocking on. Just two days left for living, Wondering where my life has gone. Chorus So here I am sitting ........... |

It's so destructive
Counter productive How we gonna make it When we do not know where love lives [2x] I'm not seeing what you're saying All the games that you are playing Look like tactics for delaying While we're on our knees and praying Making and breaking Sitting and debating The art of speculating Then accumulating I'm not buying what you're selling All your shouting and a yelling And the lies that you are telling Don't strike me as compelling Picking and choosing Winning and losing Cutting and bruising Using and abusing I'm not taking what you're giving The elections you are rigging From your penthouse living The deals that you are fixing Creeping and crawling Running and falling Stopping and stalling Crying and bawling |
