living -- if you can call this living thinking will it ever go away? dying -- there's all these people dying i'm conscious of it every single day [chorus] who's gonna be the next to go? walking in a new kind of fear laughing at all the people here asking how could this happen here? taking my choices away [chorus] under the gun well it's been a month, standing in the shadows under the gun well it's been a month, hiding from the sun parking lots all up and down the interstate and on the news it's a great debate back to the normal? it will have to wait
i remember a time when there was nothing but trees and green grass now i look around in concrete times and stay behind the glass crowds of people but i'm all alone staring at the bill for the telephone sometimes i miss those days, when the world was green and growing but there's too many people now too mean and too knowing they say you've got to be hard in a hard world - say goodbye to suburban boys, cause urban joy is hard to find what you gonna do? it's all around you sounds of the street start to surround you what you gonna do in concrete times? now i know these memories are just my naivete and i know that boyhood's gone and this is where you stay but so much has changed that i can see now i hear sirens and turn up the t.v. i remember knowing every house and every name on our street now i don't even know our next door neighbors, just the sound of their feet - cause your eyes are more open the older you get but the wide eyes of childhood are gone forever - you see more and less and school plays have been replaced and too many friends have joined the race the newspaper brings sad news through my door acceptance and gritted teeth when you walk outside at night guns and knives replaced the schoolyard fight and the street lights blinking on and on, keep me up for hours along with my thoughts, in a pretty concrete tower
please explain why others show what some don't even know in this game we're high above ourselves and we just flow you could stand right where you are and you don't do anything or make a plan to change a thing that makes us all survive stupid rage, no gain in words - that they just hear themselves I try in vain to keep it silent when they're all awake all they't learned is how they need a god and how they blow all this mud - explained and told to dust before my eyes somehow I need a Jesus for my plan to save the world and all that shit - I can't control myself, I'tjust a sacred cramp ! to break would be immoral, but explain to me what'tright ?I don't regret that sometimes I feel strange and what I do is wrong I can't complete the world and when you'tl ask me all I'll do is lie it'tstraight to happen just before my eyes no greater love can't help the fear I hide why can't I change a thing before my eyes sometimes I wish that I could be so blind

and now she??짠??짙창?" gone away, her parents cry and if they only could they would retry but debbie she has learned how angels fly she left her life and died, but who knows why
When i was young and self assured I wanna get the level i adored A faith in god that people share They might believe but i don? even care I shaped my ways right out of here They try to scare me but they won? get near But how it works - that i won? forget - What you deserve ain`t what you get Where the hand goes down tonight Feel the way you will decide Where the hand goes down tonight They will try to drown ? And now we?e here what have we found Like all the others as they hit the ground We?e different now but in the end We?e all engaged to reincarnate in sand
well here's now some world news I'm gonna tell you I still hide it deep inside, but I no longer can fuck blessed for all what you once said, I can't even argue what is it now, what will you do ? You'll cheat yourself ! but maybe I'm a fool, for I believed in true love now all you brought to life is dying by your hell
won't waste another day I'm here to run away - ahead
won't feel you, just see you, I'm only after I don't mind to, but miss you, I'm only after I denied you, it relieves you, that I'm only after still love you, it won't help you I'm still only after you
one day we'll come to terms that reason wasn't bad for it made us great and tall but never feel aware but peace of mind will never come, so dark but far true as long as we deny we need a heart instead (as well)
don't waste another day I'm here to run away - ahead
