When I wake up, yeah, you know I'm gonna be...
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you,
And when I go out, yeah, you know I'm gonna be...
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you,
And if I get drunk, yeah, you know I'm gonna be...
I'm gonna be the man who's gettin' drunk with you,
And if I haver, yeah, you know I'm gonna be...
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you.

I would walk five hundred miles,
And I would walk five hundred more
to be the man who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door.

When I'm working, yeah, you know I'm gonna be...
I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you,
And when the money comes in for the work I do,
I'll pass almost every penny on to you,
And when I come home, yeah, you know I'm gonna be...
I'm gonna be the man who's coming home to you,
And when I grow old, yeah, you know I'm gonna be...
I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you.

I would walk five hundred miles,
And I would walk five hundred more
to be a man who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door.

And when I'm dreaming, yeah, you know I'm gonna dream...
I'm gonna dream about the times when I'm with you,
And when I'm lonely, yeah, you know I'm gonna be...
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you,
I'm gonna be the man who's coming home to you.

I would walk five hundred miles,
And I would walk five hundred more
to be the man who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door.

Mummy's alright, Daddy's alright,
They just seem a little weird,
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away,
Mummy's alright, Daddy's alright,
They just seem a little weird,
Surrender, surrender, but don't give yourself away,
Way away, away.

have they got what they wanted?
cause they've taken everything
was it for the money?
or is political power to blame?
would you die for your country?
false freedom and liberty
they're lying when they tell us
this is the home of brave and land of the free
why aren't we against them?
cause we know that they are wrong
we're the biggest faction
and they've had control too long
americanism, nationalism, bow to the flagism!
militaristic, egotistic, high class and capitolistic!

Meeting you was just so unexpected
I guess I was scared of being rejected

Since you were so nice
I wouldn't think twice
I'd give it all away for one more day with you

If ever there was a girl to be engaged to
That amazing girl would have to be you

Before we hung out
Don't know how I lived without
Your beautiful face - like God's amazing grace

Andrea, I say your name and all I can do is
Think about the way you smiled
And kinda sorta held my hand
Went out for coffee in what must have been the smallest town in Kentucky

Andrea, we walked together
Down the dirt road by the bridge
That we sat by each other
Talked about a few things
You looked at me I looked at you
Before you know, it's time to go!

In a room without a window
Your head starts caving in
Your mind takes you to places
that it's never been
In a house without a hall way
There's nothing more to see
4 walls full of pick up
sticks and atrophy
Where the sun shines bright and
I don't have to lock my door
Where the moon is full and
I'm not tired anymore
Where angels carry
me along the way
Where I can close my
eyes at night and pray
Where angels sit and
watch me while I
look up to the sky
Where angels carry
me along the way
In a grave without a body
the worms lay all alone
This room is a tomb
It is my home
In a song without a meaning
Your mind starts going blank
Send in reinforcements
We need a tank
Where the sun shines bright and
I don't have to lock my door
Where the moon is full and
I'm not tired anymore
Where angels carry
me along the way
Where I can close my
eyes at night and pray
Where angels sit and
watch me while I
look up to the sky
Where angels carry
me along the way

Spread your wings around me
Take me high into the air
Free prisoners from shackes
Teach them they should not despair
In time we all will know
Our destination
Which way we will go
Where angels carry
me along the way
Where I can close my
eyes at night and pray
Where angels sit and
watch me while I
look up to the sky
Where angels carry
me along the way

I'm breaking through computer screens
And running in your living room
A via-tele-digi wretch like me
Chasing all my dreams into a cable
Where they beam them out into a billion homes across the see

Take to the street tonight
To live your life to do what's right
Sometimes you gotta stand and fight

Do you hear the bass so low?

I haven't had the pleasure of experience
until I me the master of the never ending promises
Cause everytime I look into the mirror
all I'm seeing is a parody and image laughing back at me

Take me out when you go
Cause I don't wanna miss the chance to be part of the show

Do you hear the bass so low?

The signal's fading fast
And I just don't know what to do
I'm waiting for a message on the radio from you
I'm waiting here for you
Waiting here for you

asleep at the whell forty miles left to go.
rolling in on fumes to rock the show.
we don't need fortune and we dont' need fame.
we don't need bright lights to spell our name.
all we ever wanted was to play.
play it loud, play it loud.
raise your voice, shout it out.
we weren't the first but w're holding our won.
ten long yeras ago those seeds were sown.
a song in your heart picks you up when you're down.
we like the songs we play we love this sound.
we're just like you straight from the crowd.
play it loud, play it loud.
raise your voice, shout it out.
play it loud, play it loud.
raise your voice, shout it out.
hold fast to your friends.
be true to yourself.
and stop trying to be just ilke somebody else...
be yourself, play it loud.
raise your voice, shout it out.
play it loud, play it loud.
raise your voice, shout it out.
play it loud, play it loud.
raise your voice, shout it out.
play it loud, play it loud.
play it loud, shout it out.

They say to me "Don't be hangin' on.
If you won't go on, Do I want to?"
Pray to see and pray to know
Provide for me won't let it go.
Life confuses me (life confuses me) can't find my way
Out of here I think I'd rather stay. (Rather stay)
I think I'd rather stay.
When do I begin to start?
Begin to let you into my heart?
Why so sad when I look at you
'Cause I'm away. I know I feel it too.

it's so easy to find the faults in everyone else & not look at myself i'm geting used to not having to your biased bigotry can't control me you don't know me so don't judge me look at the facts of where I'm at God's son my judge only He & not you who ar you I won't agree you can't live my life for me you see my skin God see's my heart deep within the way I see the way it seems to me

She said 'there's nothing you can say to me that hasn't been said
There's nothing you can do to me that hasn't been done inside my head,
done inside my head'
'Well what else do you have up there that isn't tied down?
You make a lot of noise for a girl from south of town'
She's so calm, yet so confused
She don't know she's being used
She tries so hard, but it makes no difference
Cause biting the bullet is bad for business
She pretends to be so interested in current affairs
Pretends she doesn't notice when she sees so many people stare
She counted 39 steps from her door to her car
39 thousand more just to get herself out of the dark
Now she sees a spark, and now she sees a spark
She's so calm, yet so confused
She don't know she's being used
She tries so hard, but it makes no difference
Cause biting the bullet is bad for business
The pretty picture she tried to find
Were only real inside her mind
She broke a window inside her soul
It hurts more than you'll ever know
She's so calm, yet so confused
She don't know she's being used
She tries so hard, but it makes no difference
Cause biting the bullet is bad for business

I'm broken hearted, broken hearted for you
So don't get me started on repairs
I know what you're gonna do
You'll break it again
I know I can't win
You'll just break my heart again

You chose the words you knew would make me cry
You prolly done it to a hundred guys
I'm not cryin', I got somethin' in my eyes
You said you never really felt a thing
You said you didn't like the way I sing
I'm not cryin', but my eyes they really sting

I'm broken hearted, broken hearted for you
So don't get me started on repairs
I know what you're gonna do
You'll break it again
I know I can't win
You'll just break my heart again

You slapped my face before you said goodbye
Called me a loser, hopin' I would die
I'm not cryin', I got somethin' in my eye
You said you never really felt a thing
You said you didn't like the way I sing
I'm not cryin', but my eyes they really sting

I'm broken hearted, broken hearted for you
So don't get me started on repairs
I know what you're gonna do
You'll break it again
I know I can't win
You'll just break my heart again

waking up is hard to do when no one loves you
years pass by, that's something you have gotten used to

some of us are dumb and blind and out of our minds
walking passed each day through fields of land mines

let the weak say i am strong
let yourself say i was wrong
let your heart move on
let your heart move on

wipe the drool up off your face and make your plans
the prison where you hang your head missed your demands

it's highly time, throw down your wine, put foolish things away
don't forget, prepare your set, be true to your own way

do you find yourself from day to day?
staring at a stranger's face?
as you find yourself to your dismay
looking into your own face

it's been so long, i feel so out of touch thoughts cloud my heart and head i think i think too much the narrow path i follow, is it the right way? i keep on dwelling in tomorrow i should be living in today! i'm having trouble with my thought process and i'm no engineer all the road to my brains are there and the directions just aren't clear i can't sit back and let all of this go want you to feel what i feel and to know what i know i can't see not saying what's on my mind are all things meaningless and a waste of time?

Well he's a chick magnet if ya know what I mean.

Smooth shoes and cool tattoos,hey,

He's got the cops, they're knocking down his door
He left the murder weapon lying on the floor
The sister's finally gone, now he's the only son
It was a bloody day in Bremerton

One stop, chop shop
Somebody call the cops
One stop, chop shop
Somebody call the cops

In a studio apartment, his axe wouldn't stop
So many pieces everywhere he had to mop
She should have paid him back last week for all the meth
That still small voice told him, "Axe her to death"

One stop, chop shop
Somebody call the cops
One stop, chop shop
Somebody call the cops

I hope they put this guy away until the end of time
He must be messed up in the head to have committed this sick crime
His confession to the police it painted such a gruesome scene
The apartment was more red than they have ever seen

It's so sad to see that chalky outline
B town murders happen all the time

One stop, chop shop
Somebody call the cops
One stop, chop shop
Somebody call the cops

Are you happy with your life?
You make just enough to scrape by
You pay the rent, that you just spent
Less than a week ago
You wasted all your pay and you dont
remember where it went all, now.
Tired and broke, can't pay the rent.
What can bring her so much pain?
They can't build her self-esteem.
How can this be, happening?
You might have the temporary, superficial happiness
that you buy with money you don't have.
Do you tell yourself, this is just the first time,
Maybe the last time when you chance your circumstance
Life is not a job or a career.
Living is not smoking and drinking beer
You can't play with Sarah, not today,
You may think it's yours, it's yours, it's yours to be.

I know I'm mean but I'm real sorry
I didn't mean to make you cry
I feel so bad by then it's too late
You'er hurt, I'm mad, is this goodbye?

I've dug down far too deep now
I've dug down far I'm loosing sleep

You know it's hard you know I'm trying
To understand to do what's right
I don't like to see you crying
I don't like it when we fight

I've dug down far too deep now
I've dug down far I'm loosing

Cold and all alone
Out there on your own
Cold and all alone
Living on your own

I know I'm mean but I'm real sorry
I didn't mean to make you cry
I feel so bad by then it's too late
You'er hurt, I'm mad, is this goodbye?

This is a fight, broken bottles, bloody walls
There was a time when a fist could solve it all
But those days are gone along with many murdered lives

Hey, contention
Hey, it's killing us

This is a war, complete with a body count
This ain't the past, this ain't the future, this is now
When will we stand up and refuse to be put down?

Hey, contention
Hey, it's killing us

Did you forget whats important in you life?
Somewhat confused, everthing is going wrong
Do you regret the decisions that youve made?
I dont expect a second chance to come along
You already found the book
With all the answers to all your questions
So take a closer look
Youre in the turn land and Im the intersection
Did you forget when you wakled out of my room
To turn off the light and say goodnight
Your answers coming soon
I will admit in the end Ill be o.k.
I think it safe to say, you dont know
If were better off this way
Please dont forget how to laugh out loud
And be proud of yourself
I know youll do whats right for you

you don't understand my views, or what it is i see
nothing you say is news cause you wouldn't listen to me
you take my words out of context, your message of wrong is right
what are you gonna tell us next, that dark is day not light?

creation! is proof enough for me
something that's there for everyone to see

you watch the wrong example then conclude a falacy
your hasty generalization is there for all to see
my actions you speak of is easier said than done
the hope that God see's in you has got you on the run.

believing the lies defines american
they don't realize their ignorance and sin
democracy ain't real it's a fairytale
anarchy now then spend the night in jail
i won't pretend that it ain't wrong
i won't just go along
humanity is deseased
and the sickness has increased
for the people by the people
who's considered people anyway?
the rich get richer and the poor get poorer
so much for equal opportunity!

Can someone tell me why I'm feeling this way?
Can someone tell me why this world is so grey?
It's never just black and white
So much went on tonight
was I wrong or was I right?
You think the whole world revolves around around your head
You are ignoring me, you haven't heard a word I've just said
Why can't I just pull myself together?
What's done is done, never say never
Always look for good in the bad
learn from the mistakes that I have had
I re and re-learn
to let it go
talk is easy
but it's so hard to show

she's been told so many different things
she just don't know what she believes
it all makes sense at the time
but don't forget that we are blind
when the obvious is real
she still ignores the way she feels
you can run jump sit or stand around
but not for long unless you've found
Jesus Christ,God,Son and Sacrifice
believe in him, he'll open up your eyes.

Can I call you sweetheart or even baby doll?
If I had your number, you'd be getting a phone call
Can I leave you a message on your machine?
Letting you know that you're the bomb
And you blew up on me

Are you anxious to see me
After your next class?
Do you care when I tell you
Step around that broken glass?

Can I see you after you get out of school?
I won't even mind if you treat me cruel
Take a ride on my Vespa, I'll take you home
I'll climb up to your window and read you a poem

I know that you believe in the one true God above
And that's why you're waiting
For your one and only love
Do your feet hurt? Did you fall from heaven?
'Cause you've been running through
My mind all day
My mind don't mind

I don't know what to say or do
I can't eat when I'm with you
Goodnight sweetheart I gotta go

And you won't come to my next show?

I remember times I had
some were happy, some were sad
memories me and my partners in crime
throwing up a thousand times
I got through it, I feel fine
I went to school and did my time
In a sense I'm out, in a sense I'm free
to be what I wanna be
Fun was cartoons Saturdays
Fun was staying up past eight
lame was tring to fit in
lame was the wrong crowd let me it
You gotta stick together
with who you are and who you know
You gotta remember
Where you've been and where you wanna go
I never did homework after school
did all the things I thought were cool
went out every Friday night
I still do and I'm alright.

Does it matter to you, does it matter to me?
Does it matter to anybody?
Just when you thought it was safe
Just when you thought you were free
Don't look back

In this life we don't have a lot of time
We don't have the time to waste it
We've got to make the best of what we have
But you don't know what you have
Or what you don't have

It's like being tired but you just can't sleep
Your bed is obsolete
It's like finding out the best things in life are free
After you already paid

In this life we don't have a lot of time
We don't have the time to waste it
We've got to make the best of what we have
But you don't know what you have
Or what you don't have

I want to make a difference in this world
A choice to a change to change the choice
I want to take control of my own life
Treat everybody right
I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try, gonna try

I want to make a difference in this world
A choice to a change to change the choice
I want to take control of my own life
Treat everybody right
I'm gonna try

I need the comfort,
That's in your arms,
Squeeze and hold me tight, and keep me warm
I need the passion,
That's in your heart,
Say you'll never leave and be apart

So don't walk away,
Don't turn your back,
If you leave today,
My whole world would turn black,
So don't walk away,
Don't change your mind,
It's time you took the chance,
And put your hand in mine,
So don't walk away

I need the glow of,
Your darling face
Accept this crown of love,
And live in grace
I need the colors,
Painted in your mind
Your beauty and your brilliance,
So hard to find

So don't walk away,
Don't turn your back,
If you leave today,
My whole world would turn black,
So don't walk away,
Don't change your mind,
It's time you took the chance,
And put your hand in mine,

You are my angel,
Please don't be afraid
You are my saving grace,
My hearts first aid
So don't walk away,
So don't walk away

So don't walk away,
Don't turn your back,
If you leave today,
My whole world would turn black,
Don't walk away,
Don't change your mind,
It's time you took the chance,
And put your hand in mine,
So don't walk away
Don't walk away
So don't walk away

Switch the light off, go to bed
There's no more room inside my head
The world around me slowly fades away
As I close my eyes and think, the shadows blot my memories
Of all the thing I've tried and failed today

Please don't go
First I need to know, if all the lies you said to me were true
And the face that I saw wasn't really you
I feel like drowning, deep down in the sea
I feel like drowning, don't bother coming after me
I feel like drowning, way down in
My false memories, I feel like drowning

With blankets wrapped around so tight
That in my dreams my hands are tied
Now I'm slow-mo running for the door
I've got no clue where it leads, but my lungs need some air to breathe
My eyelids shutter then fall to the floor

Please don't go
First I need to know, if all the lies you said to me were true
And the face that I saw wasn't really you
I feel like drowning, deep down in the sea
I feel like drowning, don't bother coming after me
I feel like drowning, way down in
My false memories, I feel like drowning

We all reach that dark and fragile destination sometimes
Looking for direction for the light to fill our eyes
Fill our eyes

Please don't go
First I need to know, if all the lies you said to me were true
And the face that I saw wasn't really you
I feel like drowning, deep down in the sea
I feel like drowning, don't bother coming after me
I feel like drowning, way down in
My false memories, I feel like drowning

No one here can say that they can see as far as I can see
it happens that you live and then it's only you and me
You think you're right in thinking this world's completely for yourself
You're thinking of the one important and only you yourself

I've fought with doubt for myself you just bring me completely down
I've fought with doubt for myself and it's right in front of me

What do you think you're doing?
What's it gonna take
It's really hard to do but it's easy to see
Help us when we fall because I hate my sin
Every time I doubt, show me again

No one here can say that they can see as far as I can see
it happens that you live and then it's only you and me
You think you're right in thinking this world's completely for yourself
You're thinking of the one important and only you yourself

I've fought with doubt for myself you just bring me completely down
I've fought with doubt for myself and it's right in front of me

What do you think you're doing?
What's it gonna take
It's really hard to do but it's easy to see
Help us when we fall because I hate my sin
Every time I doubt, show me again

everything's gotten so complicated
now you're older now you're jaded
you despise what you used to love
cursing everything under the sky above

when you think back does it ever make you cry?
like it does me with the tears all in my eyes
crying driving in my car
looking back on my life so far

all the things you believe in
lies all lies they've been decieving you

when we were young we were told so many times
prepare for you future cause it won't be easy
they never did tell us to enjoy life, here it is
because before you know it life has passed you by

all the things...
all the time you have invested
wasted time not to be trusted
washed away from you away from me
they've been deceiving you, deceiving me

That voice inside my brain
Elvis talking to me again
I think I'm going insane
He says that he's my friend
But I know what he said
Is a lie 'cuz Elvis is dead
Now I know what I see
Can't be him 'cuz this guy's skinny
Why can't I see that Elvis is dead
And I oughta know it
Need to change, way too strange
And I shouldn't show it
I got too much time to drink
And no Coke to think
Elvis talked to me today
He told me what to say

All I ever needed was to eat popcorn with you,
Come on over,
Watch the late show,
Stay up talking until two

Today's the day you're leaving,
And tomorrow you'll be gone
You're in my heart and on my mind,
I will bring you along

Everything sucks when you're gone,
Everything sucks when you're gone

A dream of our reunion makes me crazy just to think,
How so very far away you are,
My hope begins to sink

Today's the day you're leaving,
And tomorrow you'll be gone
You're in my heart and on my mind,
I will bring you along

Everything sucks when you're gone,


Everything sucks when you're gone

It's not ok,
I've baked dinner here for two,
And it's not ok,
I've got candles lit for you,
And It's not ok,
I've got you're favorite records out,
And it's not ok,
You should have let it be,
And ran after me

Today's the day you're leaving,
And tomorrow you'll be gone
You're in my heart and on my mind,
I will bring you along

Everything sucks when you're gone,
(I want you! I need you!)
Everything sucks when you're gone
(I want you! I need you!) [x2]

[Originally by Poison]

She stepped off the bus out into the city streets,
Just a small town girl, with her whole life packed in a suitcase by her feet,
But somehow the lights didn't shine as bright as they did on her mama's TV screen,
And the work seemed hard, and the days seemed longer than she ever thought they'd be.

But you know you got to stick to your guns when it all comes down,
'Cause sometimes you can't choose,
It's like heads they win, and tails you're gonna lose.

Win big,
Mama's fallen angel,
Lose big,
Living out her lies,
Wants it all,
Mama's fallen angel,
Lose it all,
Rolling the dice with her life.

Now she found herself in the fast lane, living day to day,
Turned her back on her best friends yeah, and let her family slip away,
Just like a lost soul caught up in the Hollywood scene,
All the parties and the limousines,
Such a good actress, hiding all of her pain,
Trading memories for fortune and fame.

Just a step away from the edge of a fall,
Caught between heaven and hell,
Where's the girl I knew a year ago?

Win big,
Mama's fallen angel,
Lose big,
Living out her lies,
Wants it all,
Mama's fallen angel,
Lose it all,
Rolling the dice with her life.

Too much, too soon, or just a little too late,
'Cause when the ship came in she wasn't there, and it just wouldn't wait.

Win big,
Mama's fallen angel,
Lose big,
Living out her lies,
Wants it all,
Mama's fallen angel,
Lose it all,
Rolling the dice with her life,
Win big,
Mama's fallen angel,
Lose big,
Living out her lies,
Wants it all,
Mama's fallen angel,
Lose it all,
Rolling the dice with her life.

you're only interested when our power's threatened
you're only paranoid cause you know what you're doing
you know what you've done and what you're about to do
the conspiracy to your inconsistency
could it be your spirit's dead?
why do you run away when faced with these questions?
i know you know it
but you just won't say you built this conformist system
you built this state and now you're falling down
your education teaches us not to resist
subjects don't question kings
it disrespect, they slam you in the face with their fist
you'll do anything to keep from falling down!

false fiction

they guarantee our freedom but freedom isn't real
unless you know Christ you won't know how i feel
inflections of the way things were supposed to be
the mental disorder of our society
false finite ways of thinking
false fiction they're believing
entropy is still promoting chaos
it's chaos, it's your loss
maybe this world has stopped thinking
maybe all their minds are shrinking
your failed system is inducing chaos
it's chaos, it's your loss
building, moving forward never looking back
taking what the world has offered, but you forgot the pack
common sense,logic,science, a humble self esteem
live to die and die to gain, abort the selfish scene

She says I'm negative I just can't see
It's her negativity depressing me
Maybe I'm anti-American me
I don't think the problem is nationality
It's your point of view
She see's these things through dogma's narrow eyes
You question my integrity, but I can't question yours
I have joy in what I know
But her interpretations bring me sorrow
How can I act like nothing's wrong
And not communicate what's going on

Not a lot right now makes sense to me
And it won’t go quietly
Not a lot right now makes sense to me
And it won’t sit patiently

I’m gonna chase my dreams and catch up to them
I’m gonna find you some how, some way, somewhere, some day

First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I saw that look in your eyes, I miss you already
First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I saw that look in your eyes, I miss you already

I don’t want to spend the rest of my life alone
Where’s life taking me?
I don’t want to spend the rest of my life alone
Always traveling

I’m gonna chase my dreams and catch up to them
I’m gonna find you some how, some way, somewhere, some day

First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I saw that look in your eyes, I miss you already
First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I saw that look in your eyes, I miss you already

I wanna love my job
I wanna love my life
But most of all, I wanna fall in love

First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I saw that look in your eyes, I miss you already
First day of the rest of our lives, I miss you already
Last time I saw that look in your eyes, I miss you already

I've dwelt long on the past and I just can't take it anymore
I struggle in vain at last, I've managed to board
Up the windows and lock the door

Persist to resist, fight back
Not with a fist, with tact
Ideas in action, with passion
Passion commitment, dedication

When all is said and done, our time is spent
And we've had our fun
Have you taken the time to think about your life
And what it means to know eternity?

I've dwelt long on the past and I just can't take it anymore
I struggle in vain at last, I've managed to board
Up the windows and lock the door

I've dwelt long on the past and I just can't take it anymore

Passion commitment, dedication

When all is said and done, our time is spent
And we've had our fun
Have you taken the time to think about your life
And what it means to know eternity?

I've dwelt long on the past and I just can't take it anymore

I've dwelt long on the past and I just can't take it anymore

I struggle in vain at last, I've managed to board
Up the windows and lock the door

some people say that i threw my brain away
that i'm illogical and don't have much to say
some people say that it's foolish to believe
in what we cannot see, so we're decieved

all that i can do is listen to you
all that you can be is out there, you'll see

every single time that i
explain to you my reasons why
you turn away you close your eyes
and then you cut me down to size

some people say that i threw my vote away
the moment i decided to live life this way
some people say that it's foolish to believe
in what we cannot see, so we're decieved
i'm not here to make you all agree
but have you truly studied this historically?

every single time that i
explain to you my reasons why
you turn away you close your eyes
and then you cut me down to size

every single time that i
explain to you my reasons why
you turn away you close your eyes
your heart's just not prepared to find
some meaning, some meaning

just wait, and listen to that voice
it calls so quietly, for you to make a choice
what will it be? what will it be?

If we help each other out along the way
Then maybe everything will be okay
Who decides if you'll succeed?
Who decides those things you want and need?

Looking back on all those years
All the smiles all the tears
I never want those memories to fade
What have we done what can we do
We search our whole life for the truth
For always and always and always

I know sometimes we'll disagree
But no one here can absolutely see
We're all just learning as we go
There's some things in this world we just don't know

Honestly not interested

I try to forgive
I try to forget

It's so hard and it hurts so bad

I try to forgive
I try to forget

It's so hard and it hurts so bad

Kid quit it, get with it
Kid quit it, get with it
You're getting on my nerves
Is this what I deserve?

I know I can't play guitar
So kill me quickly
And I'll be glad I'm gone

You wouldn't be so cool
If your friends ran off without you
And left you with your pants down

You're nothing but a lonely clown
Without a circus
A sheep that's lost the flock
You're nothing but a lonely clown
We're just here to rock

You didn't have to be so mean to me
I guess now I see how it's gonna be
I'm joining GSF, I've made up my mind
Forget this thing called love, it's a waste of time
Girls ain't no good anymore, anyway!
Not for one second have I understood
Why they do what they do, why they say what they say
Always happens to my friends, it always happens to me
It's taken me 19 years to finally see
She said "Can we just be friends?
It's just not working out."
Another broken heart that I can do without
Girls ain't no good anymore, anyway!
Not for one second have I understood
Why they do what they do, why they say what they say

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?

When the night falls down
I wait for you
And you come around
And the world's alive
With the sound of kids
On the street outside

When you walk into the room
You pull me close and we start to move
And we're spinning with the stars above
And you lift me up in a wave of love

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

When I feel alone
I reach for you
And you bring me home
When I'm lost at sea
I hear your voice
And it carries me

In this world we're just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby I was afraid before
But I'm not afraid anymore

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

would it be too much to ask?
too much too fast
i'm all-alone and i want you here with me
i'm not the best at romance
i've had my chance
i don't want much but i want you here with me

i want you here with me
why can't you just see?
i want you here with me

i'm on the other side now
please help me out
catch the next plane because i want you here with me
could i be out of my head?
pronounced brain dead
i think with my heart and i want you here with me

I have always tried to find
a little place that I could get away for a while.
And now,
I'm noticing that there's no clear frequencies.
No empty space left on the dial.

You just gotta make a little place for yourself.
You just gotta take a little time to yourself.

Here's to the life,
that we always never wanted.
And somehow we've forgotten
the road we've traveled on.
Here's to the life.

I have to know that you're ok.
And know you're here to stay.
To know this isn't a trial.
And now, I take a breath to breathe.
I turn around to leave and get away for a while.

You just gotta make a little place for yourself.
You just gotta take a little time to yourself.

Here's to the life,
that we always never wanted.
And somehow we've forgotten
the road we've traveled on.

I'm so easy to forgive.
Except the way I live.
And everything I do.
And everything I do to you.

(후렴반복)

what day is this so i can sing
the kind of day you start recycling
you feel so good you could explode
or stand around out by the road

sometimes it makes me sick
yah i'd rather puke
or get poked with a stick
than see your face

then i think of the decision i made
that makes me happy all over again
just like birds to the sky and fish to the sea
i'm as happy as can be

I was on the outside when you said
You said you needed me
I was looking at myself
I was blind, I could not see

A boy tries hard to be a man
His mother takes him by his hand
If he stops to think he starts to cry
Oh, why?

If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away, I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away, I will follow

I was on the inside
When they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through the window
I was lost, I am found

Walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away, I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away, I will follow
I will

Your eyes make a circle
I see you when I go in there
Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes

If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away, I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away, I will follow
I will follow, I will follow
I will follow, I will, I will follow

What's going on tonight? Is everything alright? I hope that nothing's wrong. I haven't seen you in so long. I'm away, you're here to stay and I'm away and you're ok You're here to stay and I'm away, you're here to stay and I'm ok What exactly do you do, when I'm not with you? You tell me nothing's wrong What exactly do you say, all the time that I'm away? Seems like I've been gone oh so long Nothing seems to have changed Yet the familiar things seem all so strange

What's going on tonight? Is everything alright? I hope that nothing's wrong. I haven't seen you in so long.

legalistic people suck legalism makes me sick
i wonder what makes them tick? i wanna go puke on it
ephesians verse 2:8 states God has saved us not by works but by grace
so what's it gonna take? there's no getting thru to you
to have a point of view
there's no getting thru to you
so what's it gonna take?
i'm way to young
this whole thing just bums me out, Jesus knows my heart
i try to change my attitude but it's really hard
but you don't care you've already made up you mind
i'm so sick of you, God is gonna pull thru

There's something wrong inside of us
It's important to discuss
A narrow mind a hardened heart
And this is just the very start

Frustration gets the best of me
So I don't speak coherently
We are taught to go along
We need to figure out what might be wrong

You oughta know you can be inches from life
And never live at all
You oughta know that pride is our downfall
There's no need to stand up tall

No one knows what's going on
Even those who taught oppression
Most of which don't realize
Uneasy smiles and blackened eyes

Could it be there's something real
Not always known but you can feel
The presence of an absolute
That our lives can't substitute

how you fell depends on what you think about
what you need depends on what you can't live without
how you act goes right back to the way you feel
what you see isn't always what is real
so where do we go? and what do we do?
you're asking me and i'm asking you
to be real with yourself and don't play the game
of daily life, it's all the same
the way you think depends on what you're going thru
what you create comes from deep inside of you
what you know makes the difference in what you hate
what you love depends on how you relate
inquiring minds want to know.

Come on understanding visit me for once toady
I'll be grateful, you don't even have to stay
It must be hard for you to get over to my side of town
I know there's many people like me to be found

If you come knockin' at my door
And I am not around
Foolishness came by and we're downtown
Please don't leave
Please come on in and make yourself at home
I know you're probably used to being alone

Eveyone keeps telling me you're something that you're not
But I know if I met you I'd like you a lot
What exactly does it take to bring you to my door
By the time that you arrive I won't live here no more

What can I do? There's no one here but me
And nothin' on tv
Where could you be? I really wouldn't know
Where else you might go

I know you used to be alone

There is no map, there are no signs,
We're on our way, we're crossing lines
Strap on your boots, go pack your bags,
No time to rest, no time to lag,

And you know, everyone here has been invited to go
Whoa oh whoa oh oh
And you know, we're on our way,
Into the unknown, into the unknown, into the unknown
whoa oh whoa oh oh

It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel by the moonlight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel through the twilight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel by the moonlight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel through the twilight

This life is good, the road is clear,
It's time to shift into high gear
Everything we're passing fades,
It's what inside our hearts that stays

And you know, everyone here has been invited to go
Whoa oh whoa oh oh
And you know, we're on our way,
Into the unknown, into the unknown, into the unknown
whoa oh whoa oh oh

It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel by the moonlight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel through the twilight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel by the moonlight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel through the twilight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel by the moonlight
It's alright, it's alright
It's alright we can travel by the moonlight

Travel by the moonlight
Travel by the moonlight

It doesn't matter what you need just where you go to get it Maybe you were waiting for the wake up call It doesn't matter what you've done there's no need to regret it If you're a loser just like me then life hasn't been easy And when it came, your line was busy If I don't slow down and listen (and listen) I know it's happened to me. And it will happen again It's undeniable; we're so much smaller than we think we are There's a willingness that comes alive The first step that I needed to take was giving God control When you begin tearing down the walls That's a struggle for me everyday, and I'm letting you all know But the first step is so very hard if you take a first step at all I know it's happened to me. And it will happen again If I don't sit down and listen (and listen) If I don't slow down and listen (and listen) And after all, and after all When we've built up walls around us our hardened hearts can't bear The healing hurts so badly that no one seems to care

<i>[Originally by Kim Wilde]</i>

Looking out a dirty old window,
Down below the cars,
In the city go rushing by,
I sit here alone and I wonder why.

Friday night and everyone's moving,
I can feel the heat,
but it's soothing, heading down,
I search for the beat in this dirty town.

<i>[Chorus:]</i>
Down town the young ones are going
Down town the young ones are growing
We're the kids in America (whoa-o)
We're the kids in America (whoa-o)
Everybody live for the music-go-round

Bright lights, the music gets faster
Look boy, don't check on your watch
Not another glance
I'm not leaving now, honey not a chance

Hot-shot, give me no problems
Much later baby you'll be saying never mind
You know life is cruel, life is never kind

<i>[Chorus:]</i>
Kind hearts don't make a new story
Kind hearts don't grab any glory

We're the kids in America (whoa-o)
We're the kids in America (whoa-o)
Everybody live for the music-go-round
la-la-la-la-la-laa
la-la-la-la-la-laa sing!
la-la-la-la-la-laa
la-la-la-la-la-laa

Come closer, honey that's better
Got to get a brand new experience
Feeling right
Oh don't try to stop baby
Hold me tight

Outside a new day is dawning
Outside Suburbia's sprawling everywhere
I don't want to go baby

<i>[Chorus:]</i>
New York to east California
There's a new wave coming I warn you
We're the kids in America (whoa-o)
We're the kids in America (whoa-o)
Everybody live for the music-go-round
la-la-la-la-la-laa
la-la-la-la-la-laa sing!
la-la-la-la-la-laa
la-la-la-la-la-laa

We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America.
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America.
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America.
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America.
We're the kids
We're the kids
We're the kids in America!
