The Suicide Machines

What were you thinkning years ago
When you did what you did- and said I didnt know
Well I'm here now, my only chance gone,
seems funny to me how you've changed your song

But you can't take back the things you said,
and you cant take back, the things you did
Strange how you change when you get older
it's funny how the past comes back to haunt you

You had the support, and the support was you
I tried to make it work, i wish you had tried too
like a Dali abstract- it was all fucked up
now I'm dying in the gutter- down on my luck

But you can't take back the things you said,
and you cant take back, the things you did
Strange how you change when you get older
it's funny how the past comes back to haunt you

Stop what you're doing and think for a minute
If only for a moment it's better than nothing
and you'll see that we've got something
won't you see, that we've got something

But you can't take back the things you said,
and you cant take back, the things you did
Strange how you change when you get older
it's funny how the past comes back to haunt you

Maybe someday - We can heal the wounds
I'd like to think - That we can do that soon
Times have changed - The good times gone
But we can make it work - if we'll admit we're wrong
Yeah

But you can't take back the things you said,
and you cant take back, the things you did
Strange how you change when you get older
it's funny how the past comes back to haunt you

But you can't take back the things you said,
and you cant take back, the things you did
Strange how you change when you get older
it's funny how the past comes back to haunt you

Neatly polished up package - Do you think you have it
Just a product dressed to impress
Did you press a plastic abscess
Is there anything left - Rhetoric uninspired theft
It's all burning with nothingness - I'm so sick of your voices

Runnin with the thieves yeah - And slumming with the rats
Been runnin fifteen years - You can never bring me back
We lived our lives hard - And we lived our lives fast - Fightin for the future
Still e struggle with our past - And we're still all outcasts

Cause this is the - Only life I know
When push comes to shove - Will I be left standing alone - Alone - Standing alone
We gave it our all - But was our all ever enough - Was it enough

Flew Through all th good times - And dragged through all the bad
These are the best friends - That I ever had
Living like paupers - We were runnin with the kings - Fighting like brothers
I wouldn't change a thing - No I wouldn't change a thing

Cause this is the - Only life I know
When push comes to shove - Will I be left standing alone - Alone - Standing alone
We gave it our all - But was our all ever enough - Was it enough

We can make a difference - It just takes some time

Standing alone- We gave it our all - But was our all ever enough

Cause this is the - Only life I know
When push comes to shove - Will I be left standing alone - Alone
Standing alone- We gave it our all - But was our all ever enough - Was it enough

Just a blank and empty store - Another number stuck in line
Generation gone nowhere
Are we all loosin our minds - Our minds

Things are fallin all down - Should we let the would fall apart
Fallin down all around - Won't let this would break my heart - No

This is the last time - I let the world - Get the best of me
Never - Break me - Never - Gonna take me alive

We humans live on misery - Born to punch the clock each day
Is there really freedom of speech - Or do we watch what we say - I say

Things are fallin all down - Should we let the would fall apart
Fallin down all around - Won't let this would break my heart - No

This is the last time - I let the world - Get the best of me
Never - Break me - Never
Gonna take me alive - You'll never take me alive

And my heart is all mine - And my mind is free
That's all the revolution - Revolution that I need

And my heart is all mine - And my mind is free
That's all the revolution - Revolution that I need

And my heart is all mine - And my mind is free
And the fire it burns - Deep inside of me

And my heart is all mine - And my mind is free
And the fire it burns - Deep inside of me

Freedom

I try to do all that I can - To make a better me
Change yourself and then the world
Always speak what you believe - I believe

This is the last time - I let the world - Get the best of me
Never break me - Never gonna take me

This is the last time - I let the world - Get the best of me
Never break me - Never gonna take me (alive)
You'll never take me alive

We gotta stand up - for what we believe in
We got no time - We havent got a monent
Oh yeah there's - gotta be something
A new revolution - A final solution

Oh a rich man in the white house
All gonna rise up to let you hear our voice
Bullied and paid your way there is no doubt
Who are they to take away a woman's choice
We've been livin so long under oppression all afflicted by their sick economic games,
Power, policy, and religion money talks leaders listen
All over the world the story's the same

We gotta stand up - for what we believe in
We got no time - We havent got a monent
Oh yeah there's - gotta be something
A new revolution - A final solution

Oh gotta change the world for our children
It'llbe them who inherit all of our mistakes
So can you please listen to what I'm sayin
gotta change our self-destructive ignorant ways
Becuase our state of mind needs to be corrected
So let's teach our kinds never to hate
And its their future we're protectin
So black and white I'm beggin - Can we all get along together someday

We gotta stand up - for what we believe in
We got no time - We havent got a monent
Oh yeah there's - gotta be something
A new revolution - A final solution

Oh yeah there's - gotta be something
A new revolution - A final solution

We gotta stand up - for what we believe in

Your shots are low you hit below the belt
But you forget it doesn't fuckin count
I've know too many of your kind
Won't take your shit no not this time
When we're face to face what will you do
You better own up and tell the truth

Hear what I say - Cause this one is off the cuff
Think that we've all had just about enough
You stab us in the back - You make us look bad
As far as friends go - you're the worst I've ever had

Your hands are red
You've lost another friend
Your words they burn lies get you in the end
to seek acceptance is your lust
I'm out of patience you broke my trust
You open your mouth to hide from you
You open your mouth to hide the truth

Hear what I say - Cause this one is off the cuff
Think that we've all had just about enough
You stab us in the back - You make us look bad
As far as friends go - you're the worst I've ever had

You'll never know what a real friendship's about

You know alot can be learned from words and reactions
Some choose to split and form their own factions
We both know you didn't have to do this
But now that it's done I'll have to get through this

Get through this
Get through this
Get through this
Get through this

Put yourself in front and expected me to back you
Left me high and dry with my hands behind my back to you
Had me running blind but now that I can see just
What am I supposed to do with what you left for me?

The road of life is paved with extreames
Broken hearts and shattered dreams
Reaching out for things that aren't real
Let them dictate the way we feel

Don't you know - It's your best intrest to go with the flow
Can you see - It's what we both need for you and me

I'm taking the middle way - I'm taking the middle way
I don't care what you say - I'm taking the middle way

Spin the wheel where does it stop
Around and round till you've had enough
If I define cause and effect
Your choice is liberty or death

Don't you know - It's your best intrest to go with the flow
Can you see - It's what we both need for you and me

I'm taking the middle way - I'm taking the middle way
I don't care what you say - I'm taking the middle way

What if I told you that the world was gonna end tomorrow
Would you re-evaluate - Try to moderate - Get some insight
And try to understand your world - Your world

So many ways in which things transpire
We search for a way to put out the fire
Like a kid with matches in hand
A metaphor for the flames that I fan

Don't you know - It's your best intrest to go with the flow
Can you see - It's what we both need for you and me

I'm taking the middle way - I'm taking the middle way
I don't care what you say - I'm taking the middle way

I'm taking the middle way - I'm taking the middle way
I don't care what you say - I'm taking the middle way

Lately things they do not feel the same
What we'll become full of hatred full of shame
Once was a face now is only just a name
The gift of life that we were treating like a game then

Something else dies inside me stripped away by another act of violence
Don't try to look cause you wont find me when I'm not there

And the scars that we wear - They will never go away
And the friends that we lose - The can never be replaced
Tell me what its going to take - And how many have to die
Till we put away our hate - And we open up our eyes

Sixteen years old when I lost my first friend
I tried to teach a broken heart how to bend
Twenty four and it happened yet again
More broken hearts is it ever going to end- cause...

Something else dies inside me stripped away by another act of violence
Don't try to look cause you wont find me when I'm not there

And the scars that we wear - They will never go away
And the friends that we lose - The can never be replaced
Tell me what its going to take - And how many have to die
Till we put away our hate - And we open up our eyes

God damn this feeling dont want to feel this again
My heart is bleeding your hate has taken my friend

Twenty two passed away before his time
Too quick to use our fists instead of our minds
So Concerned with whats yours and what is mine
Well maybe we can learn to love this time- cause...

If something else dies inside me - I'll run away yeah
You're never going to find me - The things I see always remind me -
Of how unfair everything is

Something else dies inside me stripped away by another act of violence
Don't try to look cause you wont find me when I'm not there

And the scars that we wear - They will never go away
And the friends that we lose - The can never be replaced
Tell me what its going to take - And how many have to die
Till we put away our hate - And we open up our eyes
Until we open up our eyes - Until we open up our eyes - Until we open up our eyes
Tell me what it's going to take - And how many have to die

Friendships bloom but everything dies
Seasons change its all part of life
A storm is coming in I can see in your eyes
And we just don't agree we can't compromise

Don't try to make me - Don't try to break me
Don't even try cause you just won't phase me
Don't try to reach me - It's much too late see
I hate everybody - Everybody hates me
I hate everybody - Everybody hates me

I don't buy what you're trying to sell
Guarentees more like empty promises
Smile and wave yet you don't know my name
And I know who you are I've been there before
The things that they say I can't take anymore it kills me

Don't try to make me - Don't try to break me
Don't even try cause you just won't phase me
Don't try to reach me - It's much too late see
I hate everybody - Everybody hates me
I hate everybody - Everybody hates me

We work so hard just to lose
Thats why we're building up walls to put up around us
Walk through life in a maze with no direction
No sight only hope that you'll find your way

They'll never break me down- break down
Becasue I'll never back down- stand tall
They'll never change my mind- stay strong
We'll overcome this time

Thrown away and pushed to the back
Moved aside I see where you're at
The price that they say is just too much to pay
And I don't have the means I can't find a way
I don't want to leave but it's too hard to stay it kills me

Don't try to make me - Don't try to break me
Don't even try cause you just won't phase me
Don't try to reach me - It's much too late see
I hate everybody - Everybody hates me
I hate everybody - Everybody hates me

Don't try to make me - Don't try to break me
Don't even try cause you just won't phase me
Don't try to reach me - It's much too late see
I hate everybody - Everybody hates me
I hate everybody - Everybody hates me
I hate everybody - Everybody hates me
I hate everybody - Everybody hates me

Promise not to forget this day
Do you feel like this - Do you feel this way
Do you have to leave - Or can I make you stay
Say this feeling won't fade away
And I'll promise not to forget this day

I want to be the one - to be there when you drink too much
I could lend a helping hand - if you would be my crutch
I want to be the one - to hold you when you go to sleep
I want to be the one -to pick you up if you feel weak
If you feel weak

Promise not to forget this day
Do you feel like this - Do you feel this way
Do you have to leave - Or can I make you stay
Say this feeling won't fade away
And I'll promise not to forget this day

I wonder could you be - The one somehow I think you are
You're everything I think about - Whenever we're apart
I love the way - You lit a fire deep inside my soul
I love the way when you're around - You make me lose control
I lose control

I knew it from the first time that I saw - Saw you there well
I knew right from the start - You're everything I ever wanted
And you're so much more - You're everything I need

Promise not to forget this day
Do you feel like this - Do you feel this way
Do you have to leave - Or can I make you stay
Say this feeling won't fade away
And I'll promise not to forget this day

It lifts me up just to see you smile
Would you sit right there - Could you stay awhile
You could say all day- You could stay all night
If I promise you everything
Would you stay for the rest of your life

I wish I had faith in something- I wish I could find a way
And I wish you could change- how I wish I could too
When I look at all the things we've been through
I wish I had faith in someone- I wish there was another way
And I hope that you know- there's no other way
Cause you dropped a bomb on me today

Can anybody tell me how things went so wrong
And please explain- how do I go through life this way
Always on parade- you paint your smiles on everyday
Just try to be- try to be happy being me
Then soon I'll see- if a leap of faith will set me free

I wish I had faith in something- I wish I could find a way
And I wish you could change- how I wish I could too
When I look at all the things we've been through
I wish I had faith in someone- I wish there was another way
And I hope that you know- there's no other way
Cause you dropped a bomb on me today

Can anybody help me please throw me a line
Because I'm fading fast I feel my life wasting away
And if I stay I might end up like you one day
And that's not who- that's not who I want to be
Then soon we'll see- if a leap of faith will set me free

Don't think- Don't speak- Don't drag me down- Don't take me with you
Feels I've been holding on so long- Step back and slow it down
And stand up and look around- My faith left town long ago

I wish I had faith in something- I wish I could find a way
And I wish you could change- how I wish I could too
When I look at all the things we've been through
I wish I had faith in someone- I wish there was another way
And I hope that you know- there's no other way
Cause you dropped a bomb on me today

Cause you dropped a bomb on me today
Cause you dropped a bomb on me today
Cause you dropped a bomb on me today
