from Body Of War: Songs That Inspired An Iraq War Veteran [best, ost] (2008)
How many people, how many have died?
I'm feeling lucky and afraid at the same time How many times have you sat home and wondered why? We always hear about the U.S.A., but not the other side In fileds of agony everybody dies How many humans, how many does it take? We get a cedar box, they get a body rake How many lives does it take before we can end this war? Bring Johnny home soon, he forgot what the fuck that they were fighting for In fields of agony I don't wanna die or be sent home on a cargo plane A tag on my toe without my name because I'm one of a million A million... How many weapons, how many do we need? What about the economy, what about the economy? You'll be the hero at the end of your catastrophe It can't be stopped with unity, with collaboration of you and me And human dignity In fields of agony ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

This conversation sickens me please let me out, I'll take the bus and though I try to understand, I didn't know how can you say that I'm a fool when all I do is help well I guess I'm a fool but I know that I'm not you pawn that feeling is dead and gone Pretend your invincible and no one can save you from yourself pretend you're a super hero, a fucking zero trying to save the world Please don't remind me of the past it's much too late to work it out and though I see the positive, I hear the doubt go off and hide your lie away, these words are obsolete and I'm crazy to think that you can wake up and come around the silence is made with sound Pretend you're invincible, there's no one to tell you that it's wrong they're all just as scared as I am, it's over someday soon it wont be long |

There was a time when you would come and go
Now there's no time left to react Just as it starts to heal in comes a bitter end Well you were already to leave my side and then... You're coming too close and I can't pretend That I'll pick you up or let you come in again We've been through this before, so please understand That nothing in this heart can save you from the pain you seek If you pick up the phone please don't call on me No one can save you from the undertow Nobody can blame you for the past Just as I started thinking "Everything's alright" You showed us surely that your tenth time was your last You're coming too close and I can't pretend That I'll pick you up or let you come in again We've been through this before, so please understand That nothing in this heart can save you from the pain you seek If you pick up the phone please don't call on me Yesterday I saw you falling to the ground Seems like things get worse when no one is around It's not OK You're coming too close and I can't pretend That I'll pick you up or let you come in again We've been through this before, so please understand That nothing in this heart can save you from the pain you seek If you pick up the phone please don't call on me |

Just heard the news today, let yourself down once again
Trusted your feelings in a place that no one goes Will you do anything, to satisfy your so-called friend? There's something you ought to know, before you explode All I want to do is make sure you stop chasing rainbows Trusting those around you is an easy thing to do I'm not saying don't believe in someone that you don't know Just don't go on thinking that the whole world tells the truth It's all fucked up, being reserved and quiet She doesn't understand the message that you send Don't give it all away somewhere, sometimes there's someone Who can replace that state of mind, you never give it time (never) All I want to do is make sure you stop chasing rainbows Letting everybody crawl inside your heart and mine Kicking you is easy when you're down that's where the weak go To release their anger on someone who will not try To stand up, and give them a fight |

I'll see you on the outside and we'll never be the same after all that's happened what is it that we've gained? well I've made mistakes before and never lived them down after all you've done for me i'm bound (don't say another word) To see you on the outside where we can both be sane (you're speaking for yourself) I'm bleeding on the inside a place you might have been but now I know I'll (never be the same) Well I heard you got a place and it's far away from here reality has sunken in now confirming all my fears I'm not gonna track you down and it's too late to stop thinking 'bout the time that we have lost (I'm happy without you) I'm trying to forget you and everything we had (we didn't stand a chance) we're miserable and it's true I haven't learned a thing but now I know I'll trust no one else (There was a time when we were back and forth, it wasn't easy) I guess that we're back where we belong one thing is for sure, it wasn't strong I'll see you on the outside where we can both feel shame (you've never been more right) I'm dying on the inside, you're never coming back and now I know whatever we go through my heart is stuck with you |

So sorry son, you're worrying your mother
No explanation's gonna make it seem all right Young boy, listen to your father It's more than just your life, it's more than suicide How does it feel? When you're looking down the barrel of a loaded gun Tell me how it feels Did you see your life flash right before your eyes? Stop playing games and get yourself up off the floor Young boy, we're gonna send you to the lions THe men all dressed in white, when you became undone How does it feel when I might have brought you up But you are not my son So many times I tried to bring you up, you brought me down I won't consider you again, stop looking at me like you care I worked my fingers to the bone I'm not your father or a friend You might have lived here once, but this is not your home Tell me how it fees You don't mean much to me, I didn't plant the seed I'm not your father 'cause you didn't turn out right Young boy, we're gonna feed you to the fire It's more than just your life, it's more than suicide How does it feel? How does it feel? How does it feel? When you're looking down a barrel of a loaded gun... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Monday morning you woke up crying
The outcome of a stupid line, oh-oh Said by some asshole on the street It wasn't me, it wasn't you It wasn't anybody you knew, is it Your old friend insecurity? The one companion that stuck by your side since you were born Tuesday night you were in a fight The same old argument, black and white It's something that's eating your inside It's not the food, it's not the booze It isn't anything consumed, so is it Becoming a problem you can't hide So every time yo uthought that you were wrong you were right The devil on your shoulder gives you strength in paranoia The countless times you call a few Your best friend till the end of time They'll always be there by your side Solidify conditions you've abused What that means, you'll never have a clue More than just a life-long friend No social life, I guess we can pretend It's not like I care, but anyway You always wanna leave, you never wanna stay 'Cause you think if you drink too much then you will lose it You'll drink your security away The one companion that stuck by your side since you were born The little voice inside your head, annoying and confusing That somehow tells you what to do Socially you've lost your mind and basically you're out of time You try to build so much, it breaks on you What that means, you'll never have a clue ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Unlucky seventeen, already handed plans for the future
Glamour obsessed, told how to dress, and shown how to think And I don't have a job, but I can show you how to be a slob So many days, wasted and glazed Sometimes I laugh aloud as I think about, You asking me "Please can you help?" Can't help my self I'm not your savior, I'm not who you want me to be A cowardly mistake I've made so many times before, refusing to break Cut my losses ties them with you, like a good boy I'll pretend And promise not to do it again Do you remember when, life was so simple and permanent? Everyone's changed, "Everyone's cool", Everyone sucks But I can't seem to complain, Exciting and new is just not there You're getting scared I'm not your savior, never thought I was anyway I'm a void with empty promises that backs out late Never said I'd change, taking back the words that we spoke Like a fuel tank running dry, you'll believe it when I choke |

So many different things you can do with your life
So many different things if you have the time Give a little more, give it your best shot On the right track you can't be stopped All the things I said that I would do All the brilliant ideas that slipped right through Sometimes we got to get on and climb aboard But I was one day late and a dollar short Don't miss the train, don't miss the train Don't miss the train, don't miss the train Don't miss the train, don't miss the train Don't miss the train, don't miss the train It could be the only chance we have Have you ever sat and thought about other things? Living on the street, hanging by a string Letting people take away your name Letting people push you into your grave What you gotta do is stand up for what is yours Breaking all the barricades, smash the doors If the chance comes around to save your life Remember, opportunity doesn't always knock twice The decision is ntirely up to you So don't watch the train just pass right through There is another time that you will meet in life But the second visit won't be nice So now you're walking in your sorrow on lonely tracks Hoping for the day the train will come back Light on in the tunnel just up ahead The train is back but now you're dead...TOO LATE |

She was confused and abused in this life
Emotional and violent moments Seemed to take the longest time Every single knockout, dragout Firght they ever had Apologies and dignity denied to lie with SUddenly psychotic eyes Every night she cried herself to sleep She didn't recognize Her own face in the mirror Black and blue, so afraid Intimidation Like a child she hides away He would always try to justify what wasn't true Justified black eye Taken for granted, she sleeps by The phone waiting for a call >From him, but it seems he's never coming home 14 beers later he is there without an answer Once again she questions his Lies, he goes to bed with No reply Tomorrow morning, different story And he'll be a differenty guy He'll justify her black eye With another lie She packs her bags in great temptation He's on his knees, again he cries A hug and a kiss and a don't know why As a tear drops from her swollen eye Apologies until tonight and another Justified black eye ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

It's been so long since you've been here, and I'm dying Is there something you would like to say? Just drop the present on the shelf, by the flowers And make the feeling go away Looking back I can't recall, who was listening When I used to walk the streets at night Like a bird that used to sing, I was flying I was happy all the time, and it's hard to look back Better days and different ways I can't explain Another song to sing it all was simplified Don't know what it's about, what have I learned to live without? It takes a day to live a life I can't believe the way the world is so different Look what the lines in my face have made Living in my bed I'm right next to the road The one that goes the other way, takes me to a different place Did you know, that I was just as young as you I had a job, a home, a family, and a car Did you say that yesterday or just right now? You'll never know the feeling of my bleeding heart Did you say that yesterday or just right now? You'll never know the feeling of my bleeding heart |

I couldn't understand why you left me standing here flickering out like a candle in the wind memories are laced with shame there's no intention of working out the problem that remains the same Little children standing in the hall never taught them anything at all if you were young again, would you do it different? or keep on making your way trying to find the fiction in the fact of life? Try to believe the words that you said to me are true but something else assures me I'm not through been denied so many times and so I'm told to sit back and ignore the truth, enjoy the ride Never took a hand with her to school take a guess then tell us who's the fool and you're not supposed to be my responsibility maybe someday you'll regain your pride and realize life is too short not to try... Does anybody care? |

She loves him just enough, to be lad there
Spread eagle exposing her love Her sighs and moans meant nothing to him But a girl must do what she must do. Hail To The King And his court of love Was it love? Or self-imposed lust. Hey, it's not your duty to me I'm just a boy, not a king It never felt right from the start Speak to me, I'll understand Now it's over and in the past About the future, should we laugh? Regret it, try hard to forget it Learn by our mistakes and try not to forget. |

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 |

Yesterday becomes tomorrow leaves you wanting more
So intricate becomes the bathroom floor And even though you're in a ditch you dig a deeper hole And I feel like I'm a shovel cause it's out of my control Promised a change, didn't hear a word from you Don't hold me back The exit isn't somewhere in my heart A promise of pain, we're back to the start The reason that I still persist it's obvious I care Been waiting by a door with no one there It seems like you are locked inside my key don't fit no more And you're walking on the land mines you laid down before Promised a change I didn't hear a word from you Don't hold me back The exit isn't somewhere in my heart A promise of pain, we're back to the start |

They will mislead you, plug in and bleed you
I swear I heard the DJ say "Swallow temptation", believe the answer Is in the order you obey I know my purpose isn't on a poster sign I'm still part of the game that any number can play Majority vote, identity? No! Top forty reasons to spoon feed Immunity lost, full price at your cost Industry living by disease Imagine, idolize and idealize A dream a nighmare couldn't change Any number can play The sound remains unclear, There's little left to hear except contradiction Looks like somebody made our mind When history repeats the hit that I've heard for my whole life Bring back request to radio, Your favorite song was written but you'll never know A selection for us to see a blind conspiracy Another version of the imitated tune and not one soul was saved Any number can play |

Everytime that I leave it's like goodbye...Forever Angela don't hate me No matter what they say I'll always love you Don't believe the authorities Angela believe in me Remember when we danced together And I promised you the world? Well, I'll have to take that back Because my whole life has been capsized In a minute all the colors turned to black My heart was killing me And no one could hear her scream at all Let's runaway, if only for a day...I'm guilty Angela I'm sorry I've failed you again And this time it's for good Don't believe your family I'm in hell, and you're leaving me Angela I'm sorry Angela believe in me |

I can pretend for you, that I mean every word said it's true
That I'd probably rather be like a stranger in disguise And act as if nothing ever.. Died or faded away, got lonelier with age And time isn't on our side I'm sorry to take the thoughts that keep you awake And make it seem like they're overrated You certainly talk about me more when I fall down And when I get up, my time is never enough Loved in front behind my back hated I guess it has everything to do with luck I can defend the truth but I sound like white noise to my friends As I raise my glass to you In a stupor we speak words That couldn't be more honest Lies we lived before are fights without a war I'm dead when it's in your head I'm starting to think that all the buoys we sink Are cutting our chances of being saved I see that the end is all we have to let us know I'd like to believe in something more than a dream For when the will to be one has faded I guess the truth will soon be deceived My friend that isn't there, My solitaire. |

I see you have lost the ambition to love
When did you get so hard and callous? Things are good today But I think I've had enough Here comes the part where you turn off the switch Everyone's dumb, Taking the wind out of your sails Victory claimed, this is your song How will you sleep when you're alone, when they are gone? Over and over just like a broken toy Heard all exuses, what makes you do it? You pedal back for miles, just to claim your prize He is the exit, to your home built on lies Nothing is true How can you expect them to stay? Undefeated, who did you burn? Cannot be taught, everyone's hurt, nothing is learned. |

with words its so hard to construe the images follow a dream through a song the nightmare has finally come true rhetorical speeches are made on the screen to shut us up and rest assure an obviously panicked media machine is testing the will of a country so unsure mission complete we lost control suddenly frightened by it all to put it simply we will never be the same there is no redemption in this war so please don't forget what this is for cause that's how our history is made security caught with their hands in the air the lock on the gate was destroyed now everyone rises from the lassiez faire we can empty the cup but we cannot fill the void without an enemy to kill the blood of the innocent is spilled to put it lightly we are not one and the same prepare yourself for disaster now so few are sane here anyhow i realize that words don't justify the pain set up the guillotine and televise the execution we have to ask ourselves, can we feel safe? you can't spell believe without lie |

... I hope that I can seem flawless to you
And always take away the pain that you'll go through My impression is not always what it seems You're more of a reflection of what I used to be ...So why do I feel hollow when I look at your photograph? You take down my fortress and kill me with a smile Please hold that thought a while And I'll try to put you on this path I hope you find the road I couldn't see You won't be by yourself I'll live for your problems and think of you when I'm gone Don't worry now it won't be long Once I was you I thought the world was safe A new perspective; everybody is insane Protecting you is a paranoid excuse I know that you'll do better than I could ever do ... And thoughts of self-destruction Are now all buried in the past You take down my barricade and melt away my heart If loving hurts so much I want this pain to always last I hope you pass the test that I have failed You won't be by yourself I'll live for your problems and think of you when I'm gone Don't worry now it won't be long I apologize to you for the words not spoken yet Don't want you to look back and live in regret Some day you'll ask me why I was away... |

Staring out the window she sees glimpses of last night
And everyone is silent but speaking through their eyes Walking to the bus stop where the court of judges wait To sentence her to live her life Like she should always be ashamed Been around so many times it wears out what you are Accepting sarcasm and false sincerity As words that people mean Rejection redefined by giving up just what they're after Someone would tell you If they could speak above all this laughter Think you would learn somehow the time just isn't now Got a reputation now and no one's holding back Wearing scars on your sleeve, so exposed to their attack All her friends have pulled the plug on respect and reserve Behind her back they prey on weakness It's not what you deserve Shot down, humiliated, pummeled by their words Devoted you lay down with misplaced loyalty Its misery you seek No longer called by name when everybody's got your number When dignity is gone That's when depression drags you under To depths you didn't know beneath and under No longer called by name when everybody's got your number When dignity is gone That's when depression drags you under To depths you didn't know beneath the undertow |

I can't even think of words to match the way I'm feeling
I don't even think a book could say enough for you I can only try my best, to put it in a song I guess You try to speak, I know you tell the truth If I could freeze our small amount of time together Then we could make believe this world would never end (make believe this world would never end) Unfortunately truth is cold So you stay young while I get old But always know, I'm your best friend Nothing is the same Everything is a better change Sometimes I see silence in your eyes Let it all crash down When it ends it begins with you I'm gonna learn every time you do And I'm as scared as anybody who has done this I wouldn't give it up for nothing free You took my life, turned it around And put my feet back on the ground I owe you, eternally Nothing is the same Everything is a better change Sometimes I see silence in your eyes Let it all crash down When it ends it begins with you I'm gonna learn every time you do I'm always I'm always I'm always here I'm always I'm always I'm always here Nothing is the same Everything is a better change Sometimes I see silence in your eyes Let it all crash down When it ends it begins with you I'm gonna learn every time you do |

Fall into nowhere, fading out
Afraid of who we are, get used to it somehow Like sad and distant memories Time is something that we never can replace A long and fucked up road but everyone's at home Where it's dysfunctional and safe You can hide inside your kingdom where the guards refuse to change Without noticing the doubt in people these days faces tell the story of a broken heart, Together we fall apart Is anyone alive in here? Acceptance has become a common state of mind, We love stupidity, it doesn't hurt as much It's worse to feel than be out of touch This is failure through conforming Paranoia is trend as life hangs in the balance of the weak-minded Free prescription of placebo for us all We only stand when it's safe to fall |

It's funny how blind faith often is used
Like a net to fall on in desperate times Like a crutch for regret as a last resort I won't let emotions take me And rely on this fence that's fallen on my head Guilt is an entity of its own fall from grace And self-worth is their reminder To feel out of place in your own home Another excuse to divide us and keep the siege at bay As long as thoughts are suppressed we'll think the same |

Up here sedated in my seat,
Can't wait until i can see my feet And run away from stupid things i've said I'll be here a few days from now, We'll talk about it when i come down If we make it this time, I'll clean the stain i've bled Our worlds collide in new beginnings It's an emergency permission to bail out So when the heart crash lands, What memories will survive? I thank my black box that i'm alive I feel unlucky today, can't wash the panic off my face Didn't learn a thing from the last time I'ts so selfish to be so confused, Heart beats like rapid fire So close to the edge but far away in mind Two days to go until i see you Looks like we can call the ambulance down there My head is touching down i've learned to be afraid I thank my black box that you're the same |

Alone on stage without song
so where is jesus now and where do I belong What is faith if there is no proof? The answer is the same but not for anyone, the question lingers on So out of desperation Humans do their worst the find out what that is A mystery known to many as the divine... it's their dime If What they wrote is what he said, to equally forgive, We read the whole thing wrong And guidance should be used like a tool When it gets handed down It tends to get so damn confusing for a fool And every word they preach is only opinion That's why our love divides itself into a thousand pieces Like bullets shot in vain, without sight |

I'm sick of everything, I can't get out of bed
Just lay here, someone pull me out I'm tired of these thoughts, the world moves outside Feel like a ghost, rejected by the living Everybody is so impressed with the things the say I take a look at what a joke it is and then lock myself away Come on ego you fool, I see your apparition in the doorway Beckoning me, promising to be here When the planet lets me down, you'll still be around Unconscious and awake, miscounting all the sheep Too late for a peaceful night of sleep A nightmare comes and goes, I can't remember it It's sinking, the holes are filling my ship Everybody is laughing at the man out on the blow I'm learning now that nothing in common Is better than finding out Come on ego you fool, I see your apparition in the doorway Beckoning me, promising to be here When the planet lets me down, you'll still be around I'm sick of everything, I can't get out of bed just lay here like I'm dead |

Everyday is passing quickly like a bullet train
And time is not impressed with your complaints Try moving faster just to get ahead of everyone your misconceived beliefs are killing you faster than anyone It's been so long I can't remember getting kicked around like that If we all follow our dreams to live the easier it seems But the truth we are slowly fading fast Simple minds are hard to please When denying the fact your life is not a test You have to let it go before you get it back I'ts been so long I can't remember getting kicked around like that If we all follow our dreams to live the easier it seems But the truth we are slowly fading fast I don't recall any time that you did it by yourself I look at a photograph of you and everyone that you take is a fake And if this ride is so long then i just haven't seen the proof The picture isn't you |

The flowers have wilted on the sill
And words have been kept so small and still And yet if the great opinion speaks Then sadly we nod our heads and agree Barely a mention of your name On deaf ears a distant whisper Whatever, no one gets it It's already overdue you will not be heard by many now But I'll always be amazed by every sound your ever made While building a tolerance to them You made sorrow sound like a good friend The well where the poison pen was drawn The same place you trusted then but was gone Enemies battled in your mind Until all the blood shed leaked down Dried up and rusted the fight It's already overdue you will not be heard by many now But I'll always be amazed by every sound you ever made And since I did not know you, I can only say but a few words Too bad they won't hear your song that I've been singing all alone |

Remember these words
'I'll never let you down' 'You are my friend and you can talk to me' so why am I? (so why am I?) still standing all alone that's not the way that it's supposed to be Chorus: Thorn in my side talk about me, kiss my ass thorn in my side I felt it jabbing the first time that you lied deep inside You gave me silence, I tried to talk to you I got denied and tried to think it through you had no reason, I saw no warning sign you think I'll stick around, you must be on glue Chorus So now I'm thinking, you'll turn your back on me the second you find a better place to be it's in our nature to hurt each other I'll never find my place in this world of greed |

Well it's been a long time
Since I learned about the bridge I try sneaking by But it's my feelings that I pay with (Chorus) Tired of giving, tired of caring On the tollbridge, I'm forced to pay my way Some may try to slide right by Thinking life's just a free ride I wanted everything for free But I know it will never be Have no money to pay with And it seems that the bridge is closed Humble feelings, eating crow Better try another road (Chorus) Tired of giving, tired of caring On the tollbridge, I'm forced to pay my way Some may try to slide right by Thinking life's just a free ride I wanted everything for free But I know it will never be You have got to show control There's so much you've got to know As I cross the bridge I watch my step Better get out of here Gotta pay my dues, wanna earn respect Next time I hope that they don't refuse (Chorus) Tired of giving, tired of caring On the tollbridge, I'm forced to pay my way Some may try to slide right by Thinking life's just a free ride I wanted everything for free But I know it will never be |

everybody's buying those C.F.C's as the story unwinds it just gets sadder cause every store is selling that extraneous matter we have no tools to fix the hole in the sky told by the fools that you're the reason why paper or plastic, diesel or unleaded It doesn't stop humanity from where it is headed THEY ALWAYS LIE ABOUT IT, BUT WE ALWAYS SEEM TO FIND IT IN THE AIR (just tell me why) WE ALWAYS TRY TO FIGHT IT, WHEN MENDACIOUSLY THEY HIDE IT EVERYWHERE (hole in the sky) THEY ALWAYS LIE ABOUT IT, BUT WE ALWAYS SEEM TO FIND IT IN THE AIR(just tell me why) AND WHEN YOU TRY TO FIGHT IT, JUST REMEMBER WHO DECIDES IT IF YOU CARE (hole in the sky) |

So many different things you can do with your life
So many different things if you have the time Give a little more, give it your best shot On the right track you can't be stopped All the things I said that I would do All the brilliant ideas that slipped right through Sometimes we got to get on and climb aboard But I was one day late and a dollar short Don't miss the train, don't miss the train Don't miss the train, don't miss the train Don't miss the train, don't miss the train Don't miss the train, don't miss the train It could be the only chance we have Have you ever sat and thought about other things? Living on the street, hanging by a string Letting people take away your name Letting people push you into your grave What you gotta do is stand up for what is yours Breaking all the barricades, smash the doors If the chance comes around to save your life Remember, opportunity doesn't always knock twice The decision is ntirely up to you So don't watch the train just pass right through There is another time that you will meet in life But the second visit won't be nice So now you're walking in your sorrow on lonely tracks Hoping for the day the train will come back Light on in the tunnel just up ahead The train is back but now you're dead...TOO LATE |

There is a man I know
Who lives across the street Every time I sit down at the table He surveys what I eat He's watching out for crime To happen any time He's always minding someone's business And the business is usually mine He's making sure that I don't have fun Because he lives alone He's watching in the darkness of his home... WATCHING YOU, WATCHING ME Six remote controls So he can sit back on his ass and watch the world from his perch by the window, on the other side of the glass He says he's looking out for me but why can't he just see? Just because he has nobody He has to bother me...Watching me!!! |

Did everything that your life said Now you changed your life intentions Ran away from home and shaved your head You were tired of living your life Restricted under your parents wings The weight of the world is on your shoulders You're not running from anything... NOW YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN FAR AWAY FROM HOME You go out at night and thrash To make points on the punk point graph Trying to prove a point to your family Living in a car with a gold spoon in your mouth You get sick, the dirt is thick You return to home where the showers are always free...

Picked up a flyer just the other day
My favorite band was coming here to play Last time they were here no one broke the silence I hope this time it doesn't turn into a soundtrack for violence Hanging out in the parking lot and everybody's here There's the straight edge guys and they're pounding beer Skaters poppin' ollies and skinheads talkin' shop But here come the nazis at the end of the block GET OUT OF THIS TOWN!!! It's packed in this sweatbox as the band begins to blare A swarming mass of tattoos, muscles, baldness, and hair But now there's a target it's a fascist attack Twenty on one, they know he won't fight back GET OUT OF THIS TOWN!!! Got to get out, gotta get out gotta get out of this town There's more of us than them but we still don't intervene The hatred of only a few wrecks everybody's scene We can overcome their racist shit if everyone's involved The power of many can crush their few and the problem will be solved GET OUT OF THIS TOWN!!! |

She was confused and abused in this life
Emotional and violent moments Seemed to take the longest time Every single knockout, dragout Firght they ever had Apologies and dignity denied to lie with SUddenly psychotic eyes Every night she cried herself to sleep She didn't recognize Her own face in the mirror Black and blue, so afraid Intimidation Like a child she hides away He would always try to justify what wasn't true Justified black eye Taken for granted, she sleeps by The phone waiting for a call >From him, but it seems he's never coming home 14 beers later he is there without an answer Once again she questions his Lies, he goes to bed with No reply Tomorrow morning, different story And he'll be a differenty guy He'll justify her black eye With another lie She packs her bags in great temptation He's on his knees, again he cries A hug and a kiss and a don't know why As a tear drops from her swollen eye Apologies until tonight and another Justified black eye ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Monday morning you woke up crying The outcome of a stupid line oh-oh Said by some punk-ass on the street It wasn't me, it wasn't you It wasn't anybody you knew is it Your old friend insecurity? The one companion that stuck by your side since you were born Tuesday night you were in a fight The same old argument black and white It's something that's eating your inside It's not the food, it's not the booze It isn't anything consumed so is it becoming a problem you can't hide? So every time you thought that you were wrong you were right The devil on your shoulder gives you strenght in paranoia The countless times you called a few Your best friend till the end of time They'll always be there by your side Solidify conditions you've abused What that means you'll never have a clue More than just a life long friend No social life I guess we can pretend It's not like I care but anyway You always wanna leave, you never wanna stay Cause you think if you drink too much then you will lose it You'll drink your security away The one companion that stuck by your side since you were born The little voice inside your head, annoying and confusing That somehow tells you what to do Socially you've lost your mind and basically you're out of time You try to build so much it breaks on you What that means you'll never have a clue |

That his God would soon be here To take them all away Waiting for the final day and for the God Who never came They all ended up in flames CHORUS Moved by the power of a charming leader With the love of God and the hatred of humanity Led to a place where he could hide and lead The blind, only to find tragedy Having his way with all the women 'Cause his death would soon be here Living his life in a dream 85 people, 23 children, and a lot of them were his His to the end, never be free CHORUS He promised them eternal life If they'd walk into a fire Now we see the charged remains Apocalyptic funeral pyre I guess he got what he desired All in 51 days ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

With something to hide and nothing to show You have learned nothing but how to destroy Things that friends who love you couldn't leave alone Someday it's gonna hit you between the eyes That we're not sixteen years old anymore One day those people that used to welcome you with open arms Will see you coming and hide, then lock the door People that listend to you were afraid Even friends that knew you as a kid Now you are sorry, but you'll never change Change the things that you already did Someday it's gonna hit you between the eyes That the seeds have already been sown Find your own garden, because you still need space to grow Until that time, you will remain alone Don't try to come around with your pathetic lies, 'cause I can see it in your Eyes that you will always be the same and you will never change the past That you have brought among yourself, and this is why we have to say Goodbye, it's time for truth and not for lies...that you have always told Your trust was bought and sold, you're all alone ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

So intricate becomes the bathroom floor And even though you're in a ditch you dig a deeper hole And I feel like I'm a shovel cause it's out of my control Promised a change, didn't hear a word from you Don't hold me back The exit isn't somewhere in my heart A promise of pain, we're back to the start The reason that I still persist it's obvious I care Been waiting by a door with no one there It seems like you are locked inside my key don't fit no more And you're walking on the land mines you laid down before Promised a change I didn't hear a word from you Don't hold me back The exit isn't somewhere in my heart A promise of pain, we're back to the start |

I couldn't understand why you left me standing here flickering out like a candle in the wind memories are laced with shame there's no intention of working out the problem that remains the same Little children standing in the hall never taught them anything at all if you were young again, would you do it different? or keep on making your way trying to find the fiction in the fact of life? Try to believe the words that you said to me are true but something else assures me I'm not through been denied so many times and so I'm told to sit back and ignore the truth, enjoy the ride Never took a hand with her to school take a guess then tell us who's the fool and you're not supposed to be my responsibility maybe someday you'll regain your pride and realize life is too short not to try...

I'll see you on the outside and we'll never be the same after all that's happened what is it that we've gained? well I've made mistakes before and never lived them down after all you've done for me i'm bound (don't say another word) To see you on the outside where we can both be sane (you're speaking for yourself) I'm bleeding on the inside a place you might have been but now I know I'll (never be the same) Well I heard you got a place and it's far away from here reality has sunken in now confirming all my fears I'm not gonna track you down and it's too late to stop thinking 'bout the time that we have lost (I'm happy without you) I'm trying to forget you and everything we had (we didn't stand a chance) we're miserable and it's true I haven't learned a thing but now I know I'll trust no one else (There was a time when we were back and forth, it wasn't easy) I guess that we're back where we belong one thing is for sure, it wasn't strong I'll see you on the outside where we can both feel shame (you've never been more right) I'm dying on the inside, you're never coming back and now I know whatever we go through my heart is stuck with you |

Lost yourself it didn't take much time, it wasn't hard to find now that you've been to the edge, stood and looked down from the top and found it wasn't worth the pain, a selfish way to say I'm the only one that counts and happiness is out Really insecure, disguising what's inside you're not cool to me I wont wait in the back of the line No one knows exactly where you went, the maoney has been spent sent the search team, I'm about to call it off feel you close when you're so far away a straw inside your vein as it sucks the life from you I watch it all come true When it happens like a million times before I wont close my mind but I refuse to open the door Feel the world ALL caving in, you had so much left to give is it worth the tide you turned, all the people YOU HAVE burned? So long to your little friend this is how the story ends I'm the only one 'cause nobody cared anyway Hate yourself just like I thought you would, it didn't do us good I'm afraid of being right so before we say good-bye to you come down from off your throne and let the truth be known we all know you're not insane, it's how you play this game Really insecure, disguising what's inside it's not cool to me when the game is a fake suicide |

Don't take it so hard, we're not against you it's really not that bad, it's just that they want you to think that it is I'm over the past but I can't defend you so I'll say it one last time before I leave that life behind It's easy to abuse the friends that end up screwed just take one for the team, I hope you're happy It's hard to believe that once there was something there's something to be said for sinking the ship that I wanted to sail you don't have a clue, you never can and never will but I'll suck it up and lie, with all my dignity and pride These words can't say it all, you're feeling ten feet tall and stronger everyday, I've learned to walk away So easy to confuse another lie that's true you'll find out for yourself, I hope you're happy |

Covered up your insecurities with everything showing everyone exactly how you think mad no difference, I can see right through your best disguise you look like someone else, it doesn't matter where you hide You wanna empty clips on everyone around and burn their fortress to the ground Socializing makes you sick from drinking everything and if looks could kill we'd surely all be dead maybe sticks of dynamite would solve your problems now underneath my feet, was it something that I said? You wanna empty clips on everyone around and burn their fortress to the ground Someday soon you'll have your way and everyone will leave you all alone you laugh at everyone's mistakes, trapped inside a mind you call home You wanna empty clips on everyone around and burn their fortress to the ground |

Sitting in the lazy chair, the channels look the same I realize that the roof is stable and start to feel ashamed it's cold outside but don't ask me the weather's fine in here ask the man around the corner who lives his life in fear Two hundred pennies, forty ounces later he's okay he doesn't have the pressure to think about the next day but I bet it's something cold and hard and grey Complaining and whining all the time, I never seem to quit always lying to myself, a shoe that seems to fit never is a long time and it feels like I'm a clock ticking like a time bomb, someday soon his life will stop I listen to the radio but nothing good is on my friends are calling up but I'm pretending that I'm gone we're all pieces in a chess game, he's a pawn I wonder how it turned out like this, no one seems to care the scale has tipped me fortunate is this what we call fair? but I've never had the mind to no it, never had the guts to show it I know one thing, his dream is my nightmare |

You're feeling really good and smart
You passed your test with a high score of 93 But it doesn't really matter cause you smashed your car Time to return to the DMV. Parking tickets, too much money, fifty dollar fines Sweaty people, last one in a fifty mile line Make an appointment now if you can't drive it's time you learn Just get in the back of the line What do you get, what do I get, what do we get? Nothing in return We make better drivers and make sure the roads are safe Then how come kids are dying in car accidents everyday? We have the best facilities for learning satisfaction First they took my license and then my registration Can't stop getting tickets don't have the time or money man Now they're gonna impound my car! DMV... |

Back in history in the roaring 20's there was a law called prohibition
No one was to drink or make alcohol Today in the 90's we have a new law People getting mugged by strung out junkie thugs Legalize Drugs People getting shot and you know it's over pot Legalize Drugs. Drugs. Legalize Drugs. History repeats that sure is the truth But does America learn from its not so distant past We have a new problem facing us today Let's take the opportunity and blow it all away People spreading AIDS because of addictive ways Legalize Drugs People needing crack might just stab you in the back Legalize Drugs. Drugs. Legalize Drugs. So now you might be saying Drugs are for losers I don't really care about the substance abusers But one day when you come home and all your things are gone you might change your mind and learn to sing this song Now let's get one thing straight, we want to let you know We're not telling you to do Drugs before or after the show We want to put an end to the murders and the crimes We believe that people should use their own minds! |

> It's been a long time since I've put up with you
It's been a long time since I've dealt with you The complaining and moaning and bitching and groaning Laughing and hating and silence and frustration It's been a long time and I'm not about to let it happen again Why is that you persist My only reaction can be to resist, You enter my life and only cause strife It's been one time to many I've had it! What can I do with you These times are too hard for me to see through Why is it always the same Your existence alone drives me insane When I look around you're always there hounding me No matter what I do, it seems that I can't break free Won't let it happen again That's right, I need some room to breathe So I act mean to make you leave, but you don't understand! |

She loves him just enough, to be lad there
Spread eagle exposing her love Her sighs and moans meant nothing to him But a girl must do what she must do. Hail To The King And his court of love Was it love? Or self-imposed lust. Hey, it's not your duty to me I'm just a boy, not a king It never felt right from the start Speak to me, I'll understand Now it's over and in the past About the future, should we laugh? Regret it, try hard to forget it Learn by our mistakes and try not to forget. |

It's 2:37 pm I want to go to the store to buy some sunflower seeds
in case I got nothing to do tonight I like kids So I'm walking to the store and the neighbor's kid runs into me with a tricycle After I kicked the brat off the bike I walk into a pile of shit After that I hit my head on a stop sign so I cross the street and stumble into the store I feel like shit, I live in a ditch. My life is hell; my house smells It's 3:14 as I get into the store Walking down the frozen food section I touch the frozen burritos I pass the deli department and put my fingers in some free sample cheese dip I finally see the sunflower seed aisle There it is. The gleamy view My savory nighttime entertainment He never has any friends He doesn't care about what happens If you see him walking down the street then hide your kids and toss the key There is a guy they call him the weirdo He went to the store to buy sunflower seeds I know a guy and they call him the weirdo He doesn't care about you or me! |

You had me thinking like a purple ocean
Oh, what a line for me to start this song You may be sleeping by an open door and ... You may be saying that these words are wrong. Take a look at my new toy It will blow the head off of a boy Truth hits everybody, truth hits everyone. You had me thinking in a backwards motion You use no Scope to smell you daddy's breath She does not choose to use no suntan lotion If you don't like the words, then you can guess Where you want to be, can't you ever see? |

Felix was a little cat
He had a little magic sack He used it in his time of need, to run from pain But Felix was a little cat And we are people, that's a fact We can't bail out like a toon Let's face the world It's our mistake We should try and relate and know that what is done is done by hand of fate Searching for a reason to live But we're too tired to give About the state of mind that drives us all to hate |

No! That's wrong; I'm always right
Of course I'm right, I'm never wrong. I love to get in arguments, I love to fight People like you should be punched Punched right in the face! Feeding us your lies He's as gullible, he played the fool all along Gonna put you in your place Smash your face, oh yeah! You're such a fool Still you keep your cool And when you're proven wrong I should have known all along Your made up truth was nothing but a conthen you're not so strong. I'm through with holding any trust in you |

Money makes the world go round,
in every city and every town Everybody has to work But no one gets what they deserve The IRS and Uncle Scam have manufactured a master plan to profit off all our hard work!

Looking, laughing, talking all your shit
Wondering if you live your life just so you can fit Could it be real Or you're a fake Nobody's that way ... Give me a fucking break No recognition is what we should give to people like this that tell me how to live The ones who criticize, they gossip and they smile, the people that live the way that they decide This is not a puppet show No one in the world is hanging on a string Take a look around, there are people everywhere They might be doing circles but it's their own thing. |

Hey, can I borrow that?
I promise I'll give it back next time. But take a good look at it, you'll never see it again. I'll steal anything just as long as it's collectible. But if you steal something better than me, I'll turn you in. Yes, we are record thieves. Existing to please ourselves. If you invite us in, keep watch on you record shelves. If we can't have it, no one can. So if you have something we want, we'll ask to borrow it for |

A knock at the door I open it up in comes the queen
All dressed to perfection awaiting reception but in my mind one thought to flee The look in her eye has crossed paths with mine and stills the last time we met Suppression has started like last when we parted I wish she would just stay away. She's just a power bitch That I already know She's just a power bitch Straight from the depths below She's just a power bitch Domination her game She's just a power bitch I think I'm going insane Now she comes in, flashes the grin seals the door just like my fate Off with her clothes, stone cold I am froze out comes the beast from within Whipping and slashing, kicking and slapping a girl I can't handle, I hope this is all just a dream She's just a power bitch. |

Unlucky seventeen, already handed plans for the future
Glamour obsessed, told how to dress, and shown how to think And I don't have a job, but I can show you how to be a slob So many days, wasted and glazed Sometimes I laugh aloud as I think about, You asking me "Please can you help?" Can't help my self I'm not your savior, I'm not who you want me to be A cowardly mistake I've made so many times before, refusing to break Cut my losses ties them with you, like a good boy I'll pretend And promise not to do it again Do you remember when, life was so simple and permanent? Everyone's changed, "Everyone's cool", Everyone sucks But I can't seem to complain, Exciting and new is just not there You're getting scared I'm not your savior, never thought I was anyway I'm a void with empty promises that backs out late Never said I'd change, taking back the words that we spoke Like a fuel tank running dry, you'll believe it when I choke |

She was done before the start, always mending broken hearts Making others miserable not knowing who she's hurting Father said, "This day will be, one for everyone to see" Is it true you'll follow suit and have you learned a thing? It's just a selfish way to go, it's safe to say she'll never know For every person there's a whole life story waiting to be told When she is happy it's OK, but then these people start to fade Then we'll just watch her self-destruct as she gets old She put up defensive shields, to walk through all of life's minefields All defined by make-up and a car behind she's hiding "Father do you have to go, left me questions I dont know" Any answers or even close the life time lie was true She's gonna move on with her life, and take it one heart at a time And watch the little girl inside her wait behind as she goes on But with this black heart she decides, who she'll take in and shove aside Until the day she sees that everyone is gone Getting used to people leaving, thinking true love is deceiving Soon she'll know how lonely it can be Now was it really worth the pain? A couple pills make her feel sane While she lives out the story written for the part she is to play With so much shame for her to hide, there's no more dignity, no pride Then there will only be dark in her light of day And she will only see a reflection, of her father's rejection Nothing will change until she breaks this life, this life-size mirror |

Just heard the news today, let yourself down once again
Trusted your feelings in a place that no one goes Will you do anything, to satisfy your so-called friend? There's something you ought to know, before you explode All I want to do is make sure you stop chasing rainbows Trusting those around you is an easy thing to do I'm not saying don't believe in someone that you don't know Just don't go on thinking that the whole world tells the truth It's all fucked up, being reserved and quiet She doesn't understand the message that you send Don't give it all away somewhere, sometimes there's someone Who can replace that state of mind, you never give it time (never) All I want to do is make sure you stop chasing rainbows Letting everybody crawl inside your heart and mine Kicking you is easy when you're down that's where the weak go To release their anger on someone who will not try To stand up, and give them a fight |
