late at night and i'm walking the street
right behind me cops on my beat (on my beat)
i look ahead and i want to run (want to run)
i want to shoot, but i got no gun
- chorus -
and i said "whatever happened to the life that i was once
i am afraid, but i don't understand about it
why do these hard times keep crawling up on me?"
i don't know
- -
late at night and i'm lying in bed
some crazy thought running through my head (through my head)
i'm not sleeping and i don't know why (don't know why)
i know that soon my story won't fly
- chorus -

1, 2, 3 go
when i was a boy, about 9
i wondered what it would be like to be a spy
i said to my parents:
"you just wait any you'll see, 
i'll be a part of your secret agency"
secret agent man
they tried to discourage me
they said "you'll never achieve any of your dreams"
and i said "your wrong, so you just wait any you will see, 
i'll be a part of your secret agency"
secret agent man
secret agent man
and now i find myself in a foreign land
i have my secret agent gun tight in hand
i light a smoke and say 
"now you see, i am a part of your secret agency"
secret agent man
secret agent man
they tried to discourage me
they said "you'll never achieve any of your dreams"
and i see i have a very supportive family
but i'll be a part of their secret agency
secret agent man
secret agent man
go funky
secret agent man

- chorus -

that girls are not just objects or sex figures in your eyes
if i see you with that boy tonight

just a band-aid for my soul
- -
said your going to get better
i could have told you that much girl
going to quit all your bad ways
well, you already know
and you but "maybe someone will like me just for my mind
not because of my body or my money or anything at all"
- chorus -
stupid fucking jock

something is wrong with you 
what is it, what does it mean
do you know who i am?
i am about to find them self-destruct and see.

inebriation is the place in parities that you go
gives you fake security and makes you free to live your life
but you live it to be superficial and we'll see that tonight
you aren't any different from the people at your school
you kids that see me rock the set think that we're the funny fools
and the room of pleasure is all i can believe
you envy others and they have no personality
- -

so take warning, take warning
take warning my best friend
because i don't want to see you left with a fall 
high school
well, whoever tied the rope behind you has the keys you know
inebriation is the place in parities that you go
gives you fake security and makes you free to live your life
but you live it to be superficial and we'll see that tonight
you aren't any different then the people at your school
you kids that see me rock the set think that we're the funny fools
and the room of pleasure is all i can believe
you envy others and they have no personality

- chorus -
are you ready for some football?

there is something about the way that i am feeling tonight,
to make me think that you're not there
maybe it is the way you are looking at me,
with that more then grateful stare
what to say to you,
 if you only knew what was going through my mind
sometimes it makes me wonder just what you're thinking   
could you be so damn unkind? 
you know i'm caught between
and you know just what i mean
cause i'm standing on my own
you know i'm set to go
and i have a rock and roll show
now i'm writing on the door
something about the air in these summer nights,
brings those old feelings back again
i know you would and i know you could,
 make me feel like i did then
what to say to you,
 if you only knew what was going through my mind
sometimes it makes me wonder just what you're thinking   
how could you be so damn unkind? 
you read between the lines
and you know that i'm just fine
but i think i'm in despair
like you never cheated
it was always you and me 
and now i'm wishing you were in my bed
let's go
i will, i will live
i will, i will live
i will, i will live
i will, i will live

woke up this morning and got myself a glass of milk

where had you gone
i hoped to never lead you on
- chorus -

innocence is so far away
let's rock
when i said that you walked away from you that one day
i couldn't understand no more now
and i know that you will never be the same girl
 that i met so long ago
all the time that i spent thinking 
maybe you would quit your drinking
it's just not your time
all the time that i spent weeping, 
promises that you weren't keeping
it's just not our time, no more
- chorus -
how could you say what you said
i don't know what is wrong, i can't explain it
how could i say what you wanted to
i don't know what there is to say, 
but now there is nothing left
left for me and now there's none for you
i'm not quite sure, maybe will be something soon
- -
go!
and i know that you will never be the one that i want
and that's why i cry
you are just, just a stupid little girl 
that i once knew and now you try
all the time that i'm forgetting, 
all the things that your regretting
it's just not my style
all the time that i spent weeping, 
promises that you weren't keeping
it's just not our time, never more
go!go!go!go!go!go!go!go!
- chorus -
innocence is so far away
innocence is so far away

maybe life would be so much better without these stupid racist ways
and maybe we could get along better 
if we could understand that we're all strange
- chorus -
i could have just said no before
why can't i now?
why would you not just go away
i could have blown it off the night before 
- -
when i see you now why do you say "Just go away"?
maybe life would be so much better if we all had one million bucks
and maybe life would be so much better if people all didn't give up
- chorus -
when i see you now why do enjoy laughing at race

sometimes i get that feeling, 
now i can hear you coming back again
how did we end up this way?
all that i ask is that one, 
one day you'll look back and think of me now
maybe valentine's day
- chorus -
you said it meant nothing to me
life is just such a mystery
i think i'm crazy and i might
you know you brought me back to life

i can hear you in the silence
i can see you in the darkest light now
it could work someday
i know the sun will come out
i know the world will go around now

and now i'm going out by myself

johnny sighs as he leans back into his office chair
he runs his fingers through his clean cut hair
piles of bullshit growing up around his desk are large
cause that's the only way that johnny know to charge
johnny thinks that it's the right way
cause he gets six days off a year
johnny still ain't sick of waiting
because he don't know what is fair

standing in the rain a broken window pane
the rain drops fall upon my head
nothing left to do repititions turned me blue
and all of my thoughts are dead
- chorus -
well, I can see for miles in every direction...
and I can see your hell in your reflection
- -
lying in her bed, staring in her head
i wonder what she's thinking now?
all my thoughts are true of what I said to you
it seems so much like home right now
- chorus -
i can see you with your back to the wall 
(well, I can see you with your back to the wall)
i will be there when you finally fall
(well, I will be there when you finally fall)
nothing left that you could say this time
you can't weasle out this time
i can see you with your back to the wall 
- chorus -
standing in the rain all the people look the same
the raindrops fall upon my head
there nothing left to do because my brain is full of glue
it's like my brain is overfeed
- chours -
i can see you with your back to the wall 
(well, I can see you with your back to the wall)
i will be there when you finally fall
(well, I will be there when you finally fall)
nothing whitty seemes comes to mind
you can't weasle out this time
i can see you with your back to the wall 
cornered with your back to the wall

i can't wait forever
maybe I can't wait all night
last time that she kissed me
her boyfriend blacked my eye
she left in the morning
i got no goodbye
but there's no use for crying
it's the story of my life
nothing left to say
don't hold me back
and see this dog fensed in attack
what did you say
well it's not right
but what you won't see that desires realitiy
it something that you'll never know you left behind
under the cover of darkness
you can light your summer sparking
we can start this journy to embark on a mision
a vision of unity and peace
put your mind in my hands
a total escape from your problems
from searching, everything your facing
all alone in this world
a dog without a bone to come home to
you are alone, you got no money for the phone
so, whatcha gonna do
you know that it's right (who can tell me)
who's to say I'm wrong (such is life)
opinionated world leave me alone
but what we won't see that desires realitiy
is that now or never

you don't know how easy it is for me to sing about religion 
and my thoughts of you
and now this time it's out
now back to the basics
the simple thoughts i have in mind
the skyline, aligning
two special lives can overlook
- chorus -
i can't complain
it seems that i have everything i need
and i just can't explain why things aren't right
it's like mystery, it's balanced
on my pondering, i count this
i need this one part because we all think that
it's this time, with you
- chorus -
evolving and sickness
can't touch the things i need tonight
it makes me regret this 
this world and all its perfect life 
- chorus -
with you, with you, with you

do you remember how you held her
do you remember how you cried
do you remember saying never as she slowly dried your eyes
i remember what i did then and how we always felt inside
when happiness surrounds the other
but every single day i die
do you remember when our scene was so young and still so alive
do you remember when i was happy, so happy to arrive
what could you say to all the shows its just so much
what could you say i fucking lost my sense of touch
- chorus -
i know the answer to this question
and i know the answer to this rhyme
i know the answer to this riddle
it changes all the time

and do you remember what she said

what could you say when i just looked you in your eye
what could you say because you knew your weren't alive

You walk away, you walk away

walk away, walk away
walk away, walk away
no more sorrow, not tomorrow

     - "top rankin'" by bob marley -
they don't want to see us unite
all they want us to do is keep on fussing and fighting
they don't want to see us live together
all they want us to do is keep on killing one another
top rankin', top rankin'
are you skankin'? top rankin', top rankin'
are you skankin'? i said are you skankin'?
they say the blood runs;
it runs through 
and our hearts, heart of hearts divine

the brotherly love, the sisterly love
i feel this morning;
brotherly love, the sisterly love
i feel this morning, this morning.

so arm in arms, with arms
we will fight this little struggle
'cause that is the only way
we can overcome our little trouble
brother you're wrong, you're right
you're wrong, you're right, you're so right 
we'll have to fight, we'll have to fight
we'll have to fight, we'll have to fight

Instrumental

2000, another shattered vision: the human race
our self-destruct button has been pressed
are we acting on morals
a malfunction of minds lacking decisive control
are filled with a tv sense of life
- chorus -
we can live with no regrets
this ride's not over yet
stand together, if not we fall
stand together, if not we fall
how can we change the paradigm of social caste
when the victims are the same ones who slave for the corporations
this episode's resolving and we can change it
a revolution's calling and i'd like to think that i'm not alone
are we all alone in this
- -
greed, war
we cant afford to prune in this selfish agenda of politicians
but we've gotta get paid i know
just try to do what we can for us
- chorus -
syntax error, reprogram, reprogram
all systems down, but we can change it
are we all alone in this
are we all alone

now that you're gone
i'm regretting every word i said
on this dark day my veins are burning 
trying to keep these thoughts out of my head
so what do you think 
do you even blink
when i'm screaming and calling your name
just how i like it -blank and indifferent
are you too ignorant to feel the ashamed
- chorus -
wake up, wake up, wake up
the world is changing
someone else's sorrow
i can't hear it
someone else's sorrow now
and take back life's remote control
- -
where you going, what's this life for
how do you want to be when you grow old
what you wanna say, what you wanna do
nobody's a victim its only up to you
wise man say you reap what you have sown
only what you have sown
- chorus -
now that you're gone
well, you're regretting every word you said
i have just one more question now
for anyone that i can not motivate
is it just routine trained behavior
does the tv set control your life
go, create

she lays awake at night
this ain't the way she wants it
it hurts so bad she cries herself to sleep
she can't have the body of a model
she wants it because she reads it in the magazines
- chorus -
analog boy in a digital world
don't be so digital
analog boy in a digital world
turn off your radio
we're so helpless to our technology
i don't want to be controlled by machines
analog boy in a digital world
turn off your radio
- -
don't be so digital
our parents wonder why kids are growing up so fast
conform, believe anything on tv
buy your identity soon 
and let the channel change you
- chorus -
i couldn't believe my eyes when i woke up this morning
i looked at the sidewalk and there was a million people dressed the same
who answered their cell phones at the same time
and all popped a pill for the same disorder
can't be fat, no we can't have that
we're so far gone
don't you see that we're so far gone
- chorus -
well i'm giving up
gonna do it right this time

no time to get what you wanted
its time to get what you need
no time to get what you wanted
its time to get what you need
there's a girl at the corner store
who says her life is such a bore, now
"i need my money and i'll be complete"
now she's selling her body
babydoll, well now can't you see
that all of the best things in life are free
you don't need to be a millionaire to be happy
and we're all getting older
- chorus -
no time to get what you wanted
it's time to get what you need
no time to get what you wanted baby
it is so hard, it's so hard to see
- -
i met a man who was already dead with
a needle in his arm and a gun to his head, he said
"i need my money for just one more hit, or at least one more bullet"
in this land of hypocrisy
well all of the best things in life are free
you don't need to be a movie star or on tv
and we're all getting older
- chorus -

friday night everybody's getting happy
i think you lost your style
maybe we'll be here a while
what is said and what is just suggested
i think you already know
just what you wanted to do
and where you'd end up
- chorus -
oh-oh oh-oh
its all the time, its all by myself
oh-oh oh-oh
it's all the time, it's all the time
and far below are all the things we take for granted
oh-oh oh-oh
i wanna bleed now its all gone, all the time
- -
have you ever had to give up something special
for the scars that you've gained
sometimes you find the truth you go insane
screaming inside cause you want to elude it
there's no wrong or right
go on and live with no regrets
you only have one life
- chorus -
all the time, all the time, all the time
this box of pictures
regrets and memories
i haven't found out quite yet
what i want, what i want
so have you lost them
they got stuck inside your past
all the time i've fought for and all i've wasted
- chorus -
all the time, all the time, all the time, all the time, let's go
woha-woha woha-woha 
so far below, whoa-whoa
so far below, whoa-whoa
so far below, whoa-whoa

what do you wanna be
would you fight for your country
leaders say "why don't you pick up a gun and shoot at somebody"
but they're only gonna protect you if that dollar sign is right
there's a war in every nation but we turn our heads tonight
- chorus -
human rights went on vacation
money took over a long time ago
cry for this racial war
in all rwanda's glory
there ain't no glory in a war ain't no glory
- -
a black man or a white man
or an asian or a mexican
or an african or a south african
or a serbian or a libyan
you're all one race, the human race
just a different smile for a different face
- chorus -

its time to listen up all good people and take a look around
i know that everything is looking normal but something is unsound
it seems to me that we are constricted by a force unfair
can't do what we all want to or you'll wind up in jail
- chorus -
babylon don't make the rules
babylon don't make our rules
they try to play us all for fools
babylon don't make our rules allright, allright
- -
i'm feeling like our voices are unspoken and our needs unmet
freedom is what we all want so freedom is what we will get
so put up all your hands together and squeeze them real tight
if you're paying income tax
then you're helping to build bombs
what do you have to say about that
- chorus -
- chorus -

ring, ring, ring here comes the morning
waking every day to an analog
quantized walking one foot then the other
your world is boring, now it's time to look around
- chorus -
some were lost, some were found
inspiration's hit the ground now
end is near, life career, nine to five corpse working
no way out of this drought, no way
who would've thought it, would've thought, would've thought it
who ever thought life would be this way
life is hard but it's always getting better
so don't cry for today baby, no worries
- -
so right now, let's turn on the radio
and listen to the sound, of fake processed and it's fully unoriginal
music is choking and it's time to look around
- chorus -
pleading protest, i grab my heart and scream out loud, yeah
come on! come on! come on!
no way out of this drought, no way
who would've thought it, would've thought, would've thought it
who ever thought life would be this way
life is hard but it's always getting better
so don't cry for today baby, no worries

well, i don't care how she treats me anymore now
cause every time i try to argue
she walks right out that door
but its just not how you look
but its just its how you feel inside
it don't matter if you got any money or not
just hold your head up high
- chorus -
i tell you once what i'm really coming out to do
i'm gonna burn this system to the ground for you
radio and tv shows try to make you play the roles
don't let them take you for a ride
one more day, to leave it all behind
to go where you have never even tried
don't you let your inhibitions guide your way
- -
baby won't you look at me
but you ain't got the time of day
cause i ain't got no money
but what is money if you ain't got happiness
it really don't make sense to me
i ain't got no status or a diamond rock rock
but i still got the voice to sing
- chorus -
so what
well i ain't got no status
well i ain't got no status
well i ain't got no status
i've just got a mind of my own
what do you want with status
we ain't got no status
we've just got a mind of our own
do you have a mind of your own
one more day, to leave it all behind
to go where you have never even tried
don't you let your inhibitions guide your way

i know i was wrong
so please just take this offering, its all of me
black spins circles around my conscience
this stale responsibility is killing me
- chorus -
hey, i never wanted to hurt anyone but you did
what did you say
its days like these i think i'll never go back out there
its easier to be alone like this
- -
impossible, inflatable too
so why don't you contribute to
the effortless falling then i'm down about
it's killing me
- chorus -
and if you stay, then i'm still lost
in some ways this world has more to say to you
come out of the rain
and if it won't stop then i'm going home
consider me forgot
- chorus -

i woke up this morning looked out my window
guess just what i saw
a little black mushroom cloud forming
but it's ok, i guess we're never gonna get along
are we ever, are we ever, are we ever
- chorus -
and you know there's no time left for us
no time for love no time for lust
no fussing, no fighting, no crying tonight no fussing, no fighting
and you know there's no time left for us
no time for love, no time for lust
no fussing, no fighting, no crying tonight
- -
one, two give it to me
watching the bombs as they impact on your street
i said it's over and out again
it's three years until i'm twenty- four
and i don't wanna die in a nuclear war
i said we build the weapons while our children starve
when are we gonna recognize
- chorus -
you know there's no time left for us ashes to ashes, dust to dust
no fussing, no fighting, no crying tonight

1, 2, 3, 4
now you're thinking i'm so stupid, that's allright
you don't know just what you're saying and in due time
what i'm going through, well i don't care and you won't prosper
what i say to you goes in one ear and out the other
now i'm taking three steps forward and two steps back
i've temporarily lost my focus and gone i've off track
what i'm going through, well i don't care and you won't prosper
what i say to you goes in one ear and out the other
- chorus -
please someone, come quickly, i've gotten stuck inside my head
please help me out while i still can
i've gotten stuck inside this little place and no one's helping
nowhere to go, already ran
- -
givin' it one more shot
oh ya gotta let me try to get my life on track, on track
its five in the morning in the studio high up in the stereo
i'm loosing my mind, sayin' i give it up because i'm feeling out of place
don't wanna hear it, feel it now what i'm saying
- chorus -
move forward, move forward, move forward now
move forward, move forward, move forward now

in our world's degradation we take for granted
all we have and all that we were given
when was the last time that you looked up
gazed upon a shopping mall and said "how beautiful"
- chorus -
so one more time you hear my voice
we are the youth
you have the choice so use it wisely
- -
they pave the world in concrete
soon nothing will be natural but only artificial
artificial and commercial, a superficial front
for what is wrong: human parasite
- chorus -
where could we have ever gone so wrong
nothing's sacred, nothing's sacred
we're burning lands on consumer demands
gee there is nothing sacred nothing's sacred
- chorus -
let's bring it down by fire
please don't give up
where could we have ever gone so wrong
nothing's sacred, nothing's sacred
we're burning lands on consumer demands
there is nothing sacred, nothing's sacred
so go inside, go inside, go inside

this is the first time that i've ever told the truth before
to scrutinize what we call fate
belief in more of what's been forced into subconscious's
hold my breath hope to refrain
- chorus -
is love an infection or a sick addiction
when there's nowhere left to run to
is love an infection or a sick addiction
when there's nowhere left, this crutch is broken
- chorus -
her empty needle is my unsharpened sword
i stab, i stab, i stab, but i can't puncture
don't wanna let it, don't wanna feel it
don't wanna hear it, don't even wanna think about it
hold my breath up to refrain
- chorus -
and if i can't afford her my veins begin to ache
i don't wanna feel this pain no more
have you ever felt so high that when you came down you broke inside
well, i know she won't take the blame, blame
- chorus -
you love me, you rip my heart out

Look who’s got a new nose 
Plastic lips and fake tits
Ever tasted silicon?
I’ve got scars on my eyes
Look who is the best dressed
Oh my gosh the worst hair
Who designed that mink coat?
I’ve got stars in my eyes
- -
Guess who’s got a new car?
Bet she dates a rockstar
I wanna make a million
I’ve got lies in my mouth
Eyeshadow and glitter gold
Diamond rings and lip syncs
Anything material
I’ve got scars on my eyes
- -
Baby you know if you’re not beautiful
Just cover it up
With make-up kits and perforated scalpel seams 
we’ll do you right up
I’m so obsessed with looking like celebrities 
Make myself throw up
But it’s all right cause one day I know I’ll be fine like everyone else
- - 
Music played to advertise
Logo shirts and hair styles
Chop and cut monopolize
I’ve got scars in my mouth
Worship to the cash cow 
Nod your head now take a bow
Faking grins and cleft chins
I’ve got stars in my eyes
- -
Baby you know if you’re not beautiful 
Just cover it up
With make-up kits and perforated scalpel seams 
We’ll do you right up
I’m so obsessed with lookin like celebrities
Make myself throw up
With staple skin and back stab flattery
I’m coughin it up
- -
Hey little darlin I’ll sell you the definition
If you follow me through pages and channels of deceit where
Everyone is perfect and nobody grows old 
Your bliss in the ignorance of images cause beautiful
Is what they’re sellin…….
(Its not how you feel its only how you look)

 

Our Eyes are bleeding
Courtesy of everything that you could ever want to hide
Our veins are dry 
Sometimes the truth cuts deeper than the sharpest knife
- -
Lookin’ is an awkward feelin’
When you’re beaten down 
Anything to stop the burning 
We’ve been runnin’ all around
- -
We just survive
Too busy occupied with dying to stop and consider life
So many pretty pretty pictures
On the walls an on our fingertips
Let’s sew the borders round it
- -
Losin’ is an awkward feelin’
When your bleeded down
Ain’t no way to stop the burning 
We’ve been running all around ourselves 
And it’s the choices that we choose
In our everyday abuse
Just a short solution to a long term problem
- -
I stabbed myself just for the scar
To see if I could feel something
And it’s the choices that we choose
Cause we’re all prophetic fools
Just a short solution to a long term problem
- -
I need (x100)
Just one more thing
To be completely blinded 
Shoot it up, shoot it in, buried it under all this callous skin
- -
Losin’ is an awkward feelin’
When your bleeded down
Ain’t no way to stop the burning 
We’ve been running all around ourselves 
And it’s the choices that we choose
In our everyday abuse
Just a short solution to a long term problem everyone
- -
Hid away, I’ve been feelin’ incomplete
Innocence is way overrated now
Choking this sober feeling down
I guess you’ve come over me
So define lonely
(now I know real love is for free)

Now America’s got a brand new war
Can anybody tell me what we’re fighting for?
Time to manufacture the illusion of safety
Don’t fear, just consume to uphold the economy
Yeah we always buy everything that they’re sellin’
Everything that they’re sellin’
- -
Payin’ for the bombs that fall on our children
Now we’re headed for our own demise
Dreaming of another mushroom cloud horizon
And that’s the bottom line
It’s time to cancel my subscription
I just can’t stomach anymore of the lies
Violence equals violence and its no solution
And that’s the bottom line
- -
Now turn on the radio and hear what it’s sayin’
Another hollow candy coated melody about nothing
Easier to sell it don’t require you to think
Dumbed down drool, a façade suck-cess
We’re still buyin’ everything that they’re sellin’
Everything that they’re sellin’
- -
Now I’m lookin for the truth and solid meaning
So I can scrape the glass of both of my eyes
Stuffed to the gills with a false sense of stubstance
And now I realize
So its time to cancel my subscription
I just can’t stomach anymore of the lies
Wealth the spectacle of a greedy solution and that’s the bottom line
- -
Now I’m not buyin’ anything that they’re sellin’
Not givin’ in this time
- -
Payin’ for the bombs that fall on our children
Now we’re headed for our own demise
Dreaming of another mushroom cloud horizon
And that’s the bottom line
It’s time to cancel my subscription
I just can’t stomach anymore of the lies
Violence equals violence and its no solution
And that’s the bottom line

We've had.
We've had enough of the politicians
We've had enough yeah
Of these politician's wars
All we need right now is love
We've had enough of these military scoreboards
What we need right now is love, come on
We've had enough of these politician's wars
All we need right now is love
We've had enough of these military scoreboards
What we need right now is love
 - -
(Turn it up)
The future is held in the hands who right the textbooks,
Ignorance is bred when falsified thinking is taught
To the youth instead of past mistakes and mind elevation,
Like the graves that manifest destiny has created.
So we can build our capitalist consumer based economy,
To build, market, and sell commodities we don't need.
But we are trained to believe like celebrity imaging
Well I'm here to take my feelings back and I hope that you will be with me
- -
I can't wait for that day when I hear us all screaming.
Ahhhhhhhhh,
I can't wait for that day when I hear us all singing together,
Ooooohhhhhh
I can't wait for that day when I hear us all screaming.
Ahhhhhhhhh
I can't wait for that day when I hear us all singing together,
Ahhh, 
- -
(Come on)
I can't wait for the day when I hear us all screaming,
HERE COMES THE REVOLUTION.
When every race color and creed of militant human beings stand up
With fists together for substance and true meaning
Because right now we got our feet stuck in cement
We're too caught up in a material status quo punishment
And one thing is for sure and that's the sun will always set,
Darling you can bet our moon is quite the opposite
So baby take a axe to your makeup kit
Set ablaze the billboards and their advertisements
Love with all your hearts and never forget
How good it feels to be alive and strive for your desire
Just cause you can't see your cage doesn't mean that you are free
When there are laws against nature but its ok for you to be
Addicted to over the counter prescriptions
And magazines dictate all our human relations
- -
I'm not buying, no I'm not giving in
To a culture that objectifies all of our women 
I'm not buying, no I'm not consuming
The apathetic dribble on the news media’s chin
I'm not buying, no I'm not giving in
The lies that are sold through textbooks to children
I'm not buying, no I'm not consuming
Cause the positive will always overcome the negative right
 - -
And we stay inside, its right outside, we stand in line
We all enjoy the fences to keep it at bay
But I'm not giving in.

Couldn’t see the moon
When she came tonight
Emptiness inside her filled my room
I know its only distance but its feels just like the end
I won’t ask this same old question
Adamant resistance to my lasting desires
Searching for an explanation to why I sleep alone
Oh I’m not driving anymore if you call you just use my name
Let these clenched fists open wide to see where all the answers lie
- -
Looking for a sign that I’m still alive 
With these pilled up smiles and these sloppy eyes yeah
Oh isnt that the truth? 
And all the hollow whisperings from between your sheets
All the maybes in the world don’t mean anything now
Pray its over soon
Never slept so soundly than with your breath on myneck
- -
The Present has no future
The future has no past
The past is just a graveyard
For the lonely ghost REGRET
It’s so hard to say goodbye
When I shake too much to hold
Let this blood within me run
So I can see the answers dry
- -
Lookin for a sign that Im still alive
With this junky smile and these sloppy eyes
Oh isnt that the truth? 
And all the hollow whisperings from between yoursheets
All the maybes in the world dont mean anything now
I pray its over soon
- -
Finding our directions
Stumble
Stagger 
Fall Away
- -
Finding our direction
Let it lead the way
Part of what you borrowed
Can never be replaced
So pardon my deflection baby
There's no more blood to bleed
But if I can I'll be sewin up the seeds
Pickin up whats left of me
(to sing together)
- -
Lookin for a sign that I’m still alive
With these pilled up smiles and these sloppy eyes
Oh isn’t that the truth? 
And all the hollow whisperings from between the sheets
All the maybes in the world don’t mean a thing
Isn't that the truth?
- -
And Im lookin for reason that Im still alive with
These pilled up smiles and these sloppy eyes. 
Isn't that the truth?
And all the hollow whisperings from between your sheets
All the maybes in the world don’t mean anything now
Pray its over soon.
- -
I never slept so soundly 
Than with your breath on my neck

Yeah she moves so slowly like a lovers breath
Hoping I can hold it down and stand
But the aches and shakes don’t seem to let up, no no
I got all the questions, and
She has all the answers for me now
Oh I don’t believe it, no I don’t believe her now
- -
One more hope for tomorrow
Baby, one more kiss to forget you
Right, just what will bring us down
It keeps us together remembering
Its so easy to forget
Its so easy to forget
When I move so slow darling
- -
Yeah she moves so slowly like a lovers breath
Hoping I can tear down the walls and breathe what I never knew
All this girl could get into
I’ve got so many questions, 
And she got all the answers for me now
Oh I can’t believe her, no I don’t believe it now
- -
One more hope for tomorrow
One more drink to forget
Just what will bring us down
Keeps us together remembering
Its so easy to forget
- -
When I’m inside her I don’t think twice
When she’s in my blood you know it feels so nice
Shaking in the morning like I’ve been kicked all night
When she’s in my blood you know it feels so nice
I’m shaking in the morning like I’ve been kicked all night
Sneaky sneaky serpent with the tricks up his sleeve. 
- -
Lips like licorice but you can’t catch me
Deep between the covers listening to her heart’s beat
Till defeat and surrender of what’s being covered up
Cause I don’t want to give up what’s little last of my luck
So many opportunities that are boarded up and gently put away
You move so slowly I can’t even feel it moving
- -
You move so slowly I can’t believe it

You can never be what never was
And to get by you know you must become a part in a machine
When minds outgrow a stationary scene
They get discarded with the others never meant to be
With the worst yet to be seen
Cause we still eat this fruit from the tree that’s in the middle of the garden
And we make a bargain
- -
Have you forgotten?
You’re still dying in their world
Just to be seen not to be heard
It happens so often
There’s no way left to break out from this hold
Of who will be bought and who will be sold
- -
Don’t have to look to see it everyday
It is designed for you to think that there’s no other way
If you got the look they’ll sell you’re sound
There will be dollars all around but when decisions come
You’ll find that you still have no say
It doesn’t bother most that
That’s the game
We’ve all been blinded by the opportunity to play
If you say what you want and you do what you say
Than it’s likely that you’ve found yourself a better way
- -
Have you forgotten?
You’re still dying in their world
Just to be seen not to be heard
It happens so often
There’s no way left to break out from this hold
Of who will be bought and who will be sold
- -
We’re still waiting in lines
And we’re still signing with our blood
Its all that was mentioned
Its all been no good
Well it’s the right that we haven’t
Forgotten the plan
It’s our LOVE that we’re doubting
Have you forgotten?

Don't be afraid because there is no escape
And it won't be long now, won't be long now
They got you thinking 
What you wanna believe
Just to fall with no better way
When you wear the right clothes
Sing the right songs
You’re tunin and pluggin out
When you drive the right car and you digging the right crowd
Tune in and plug it out

First comes the school
Then comes the job
Wife and two kids and a family car
We're all falling in line and waiting to die
And for what?
A plaque on the wall and another numeral
On a corporate statistic of a government chart
You know I don’t need no read-out for the beat of my heart
You might as well get a barcode tattooed on your arm 
Cause convenience has strangled art in every form

Would you believe what I said if I shoved it down your throat?
(how unusual the lettered backdrop)
Do you wonder where you are, the meaning of the words?
(push the plunger, say goodbye)
Consent to manufacture, a brand new opposition
It’s starting right now
- -
Up and down we spend in all conditions
For many years I played the fool
Looked so deep inside that we can’t see
Much too bored to look for
- -
Touch the surface flow and ebb with nowhere left to go
(if I could only live like this)
Ideal in its birth, a drunk bewildered herd
(follow the leader, come pin the tail)
Caught in misdirection, our spectacle distracts
It’s just the right time
- -
Up and down we spend in all conditions
For many years I played the fool
Looked so deep inside that we can’t see
Much too bored to look for
- -
We always say it, we never mean it
If that’s enough
That’s the way it looks and no one’s asking why
It’s the right time but we don’t have the time
Keep it locked down, it’s only what your heart would say
We’re barely living through it, we’re just surviving
I’m so sick of surviving
- -
Up and down we spend in all conditions
For many years I played the fool
Looked so deep inside that we can’t see
Much too bored to look for
- -
Pullin under to stay ahead
We always say what we don’t mean
Up and down we spend in all conditions
For many years I played the fool
But if it’s out for deception and still playing cool
Like a piece of the puzzle we’re so quick to salute it now
Much too bored to look for
- -
We didn’t say it, we never needed it
If that’s enough
It’s the way we look and no one’s askin’ why
It’s the right right time but we don’t have the time
Keep it locked down ignoring what your heart would say
We’re barely living through it, too scared to do it
We’re so sick of surviving

The midnight moon is feelin’ high
She won’t come down till the morning light
When opposite set scenery drapes unimpressed plasticene 
Where cookies cut can play their games
Wear the shirts of pricetag names
All the biggies sellin’ fame
Can smell your blood yearning
(if that’s what it costs, I am free)
- -
Don’t contest electric light
Come pull the cord kiss me goodnight
Bound in blood, dollar signs confirmed
Your eyes still hold the secret
Shut your eyes don’t breathe so loud
It’s just an episode
Shut your eyes don’t talk to loud
It’s just an episode
(If that’s what it costs than I am free)
- -
Doesn’t this just smell familiar
You cut your fingernails like your soul
If I ripped your heart right from you, would you feel it?
Would you feel it al all?
Doesn’t this just smell familiar?
A pretty penny now you paid your pride
If I ripped your heart right from you, would you feel it?
Would you feel it at all?
- -
It all starts with a sound
And a firm embrace
The will to conspire
The need to suck-seed
Don’t look down, now you’re surrounded
Beady black eyes, lip licks shrouded
Heart’s best constricted, foam-filled with plastic
Kiss kiss luxury, head’s gettin’ clouded
See the sparkle of the heretic’s scream
The green gleam and the four-legged fiend
A flick of fountains and the kings been hailed
Don’t worry baby cause we’re all for sale
- -
Doesn’t this just smell familiar
You cut your fingernails like your soul
If I ripped your heart right from you, would you feel it?
Would you feel it al all?
Doesn’t this just smell familiar?
A pretty penny now you paid your pride
If I ripped your heart right from you, would you feel it?
Would you feel it at all?
- -
It surrounds.  We’ll like to dance around
- -
(DON”T STOP NOW FEEL IT)
- -
It surrounds.  We’ll like to dance around

What you want is what you findout
Once you believe that you don’t really need it
Here we are at the rest of our lives and I’m afraid
That we no longer need it
- -
I’ll wait for the next one
It looks like our time here is done
Memories of moments past
The callous that you can’t give back
The moon bows to the new sun
I’ll wait for the next
- -
The etch of scars and memories pass
Once you conceive that you don’t want to feel it
After all
We all bled so much
It’s about time
That we all started living
- -
I’ll wait for the next one
It looks like our time here is done
Memories of moments past
The callous that you can’t give back
The moon bows to the new sun
I’ll wait for the next
- -
You taste so sweet for only me
It hurts so much to lose completely
We only fight (what it is to desire)
- -
What you want is what you find out once you believe
That you no longer need it
Well here we are at the spectacle of our sight and I’m afraid
That we’re all slaves
What you want is what you find out
Once you believe
You no longer NEED it
- -
I’ll wait for the next one
It looks like our time here is done
Memories of moments past
The callous that you can’t give back
The moon bows to the new sun
I’ll wait for the next
- -
You taste so sweet for only me
It hurts so much to lose completely
We only fight (what it is to desire)

And I knew that you just couldn’t wait
To put your sharpened dagger in 
And watch the look on my face
It was all you were searching for.
A picture frame consistent 
To being alone.
Now we're content with illusions
And our arm length smiles
- -
Did you get what you wanted,
Did you get what you wanted now
This is all that I’m asking
Cause its the love we’re forgetting how
Did you take what you wanted
Did you get what you wanted from me.
This is all that I’m asking
This is all that I’m asking you
- -
Oh the years that have all been erased.
No superficial shelter could ever replace.
And its all you we're searching for
Another adequate replacement 
To walk through your door.
We're content with illusions.
And our downhill eyes
- -
Did you get what you wanted,
Did you get what you wanted now
This is all that I’m asking
Cause its the love I’m forgetting now
Did you get what you wanted
Did you take what you wanted from me
This is all that I’m asking
Yeah this is all that I’m asking
- -
Have you ever felt what it means to be truly alone?
Stop and think right now
Have you ever been alone?
Have you ever felt so cold?
Have you ever felt to truly alone?
So freezing cold?
So find the fakest elation I hope it takes you away
Now I’ve got it all worked out now
Just a memory, picture framed illusion
- -
Did you get what you wanted 
Did you get what you wanted now
This is all that I’m asking
Cause its the love I'm forgetting how
Did you get what you wanted
Did you take what you needed from me
This is all that I’m asking
This is all that I’m asking
- -
Did you get what you wanted?
NOW!!!!!!

::...And the Battle Begun

Am I crazy because I want to touch your skin? 
Is it ludicrous that I’ve got nothing to believe in that was built by human hands or controlled by demand? 
So if love is true, let’s burn the factory, take off your shoes it’s time for dancing 
- -
I never leave the house without a pocket of pills, 
Operator, operator, I’ve got no solitude 
From the digging hands (no way) 
I think I’m losing it and I can’t keep up 
operator, operator It’s nothing personal 
But I’m choking tears, I’m thinking about givin in 
It’s no better than before, it’s just never mentioned 
- -
We keep running this race that can’t be won 
I keep coming up empty 
Doctor doctor you know they try to sell my trust 
And then call me crazy 
Box to box you know it never stops, 
We’re playing boomerang highways 
In an endless search for meaning I pray for something real 
One kiss for all the world, a taste for all that’s precious 
- -
Take it away release your tension 
- -
All their paper never feels like my lovers kiss 
Or the warmth of her touch while we dream 
So if I’m insane so be it, I’ll trade in everything 
One kiss for all the world, one more for all that’s precious 
- -
Give me something to hold on to
- -
Are we going nowhere?
We need disaster, to love until we’re blinded,
Indeed we are caught, what if we get free?
- -
Take it away and it’s all your strife 
Take it away release your tension 

A blue square to numb the pain 
White hexagons to accelerate 
Swallow yellow to relax 
Whisky and a green one to forget the past 
- -
Speak to me now, 
Won’t you put your guns in the ground? 
Let’s sing till our voices break the sound 
- -
Doctors to say I’m sane 
White rectangles now to concentrate 
Another yellow to relax 
Scribbled down solutions to erase the past 
- -
Got me feeling like an outsider 
They’re in her drawer 
But she says she doesn’t take ‘em 
Got me feeling like an outsider they’re in her drawer 
But she does not take ‘em all 
Oh no now we’ve all been diagnosed 
Oh no I can not feel at all 
- -
Society creates symptoms: 
The system medicates them
(there is no progress in a cure, 
they’ve got their eyes on the return 
it came from our own hand 
to squeeze the last survivor) 
- -
Kiss me baby, make it better, kiss me baby 
You can make it better 
Would you, would you ever?
Could you, could you ever? 
(watch your life through a screen) 

There’s a girl stuck in the mirror, 
She stares into my eyes, she said she kiss me tender, 
I say I don't love her, but I know it’s a lie 
And lately she’s been lonely, I couldn’t tell you why 
Oh no, she lives without emotion, she makes me better 
Only for the night 
- -
Last night I dreamt about her and our bodies mocked our minds 
Her taste was so familiar, 
I say that I don’t need her but I know it’s a lie 
I swear that it’s the last time that I lie down with her, 
She holds me when I’m shaking it makes me better 
Only for the night 
- -
I swear, I swear this is the last time I tie it 
- -
She used to dream of moving pictures, Now she slips into the skies. 
and lately I’ve been lonely, I couldn’t tell you why, oh… 
She lives without emotion It makes me better 
Only for the night
 

Well I got a reason my goals defined words in a line and my politics 
(every word is true) 
Oh I got my lover with her legs up high, my fingertips on her light switch 
If someone found the way to save us from ourselves 
(oh dear you’re only dreaming) 
- -
And you got a letter you got a number you got a dream you make your personal hell 
(yeah yeah…)
we got obligation to production 
we got the angels in a rubber cell with their hands tied up 
If you can find a way to make the world yourself 
(oh dear it’s only dreaming) 
- -
There’s a blue eyed pretty woman saying things that she don’t mean 
Come on baby don’t you listen lock your doors up tight tonight 
Cause there’s a million people dying and there’s bound to be more 
Learned it just from listening to a faithful, faithful imitation 
Cause we breathe in everything 
It’s in our eyes and it’s in our skin speaks a holy replication 
With her cheeks all sunken in, bloody nose and a plastic grin 
He needs a pill just to feel her insides, she needs a crutch just to wake her up 
Ghost-eyed man and walking dead what does feeling really feel like? 
Digging up a body from a burial ground, wipe the bones off nice and clean 
Mother don’t breast feed your children with a plastic mouse and a crystal screen 
Now there’s more white people talking about a war that’s make believe 
Doctor spins a word like freedom we pretend to know just what it means 

And it’s your only day, do you got all the truth? 
Oh you never feel the way you were… 
- -
I must have seen it, it’s so familiar 
Oh she looks so familiar 
Must have seen it, oh you look so familiar
- -
I must have seen her face before, I fell in love when I was born
Now they hide her with a whisper, it’s over 
- -
So it goes, never been a better time might as well make it now! 
- -
Oh it’s your only day and you got all the truth
Oh you’ll never feel the way you were 
Now it’s your only day is it all the truth? 
Oh you never feel the way you were
- -
The dead hand of the past only wishes to control your future 
- -
I must have seen it, it’s so familiar 
Oh it looks so familiar 
Must have seen it 

Yeah we all listen to everything the man says 
Can’t speak a sentence, we got the words placed 
- -
Stars keeping falling far from space, we’re a million miles an hour, fast asleep 
- -
How do you feel, how do you feel when you’re alone 
- -
It’s time for action, they tried to take our love!
Where is your passion, where do you get yours? 
- -
Stars keep falling far from space, we’re one million miles an hour fast asleep 
- -
How do you feel, how do you feel when you’re alone? 
- -
Got our bodies squeezed into digital molds, we can’t breathe and were moving too slow 
God is sold between a video screen, a plastic wall and a broken material dream 
It’s time to memorize your numbers, a code to signify your face 
Your thumb is pushing down on the plunger, pick up your feet so you can put em in place 
There’s an inside rumor of a beggar, who got all that he needs in his hands, 
He said he ain’t no good with possession cause he can’t keep track and he don’t need a plan 
They say the old woman got the wisdom, cause she couldn’t read a clock anymore 
She said the numbers don’t represent the moments and she don’t see what all the ticking’s for 
“they selling you time with repeat stimuli right in front of your eyes till you feel paralyzed 
you’re the only one who can define real” 
Tell me right now how you feel 

She says she’s gonna come over tonight,
Look like a ghost sound like a whisper shivering down my spine 
I’m just a traveling soul, say you’d never leave me low, tell me you need me so tonight 
She come creeping up slow 
I got no place, no place to go 
But now I’m feeling like I fell for you oh baby, no don’t you sell it 
Story’s always different no matter who’s telling it, now I’m feeling like I fell for you 
- -
Apparition 
- -
I know she lurkin the streets tonight, sounds like silence, slink like a drifter 
‘tween the darkness and flickering light 
She’s just a wandering soul, oh I just can’t let it go, tell me it isn’t so tonight 
- -
I swear I heard something sneaking through my corridor, 
Memories float like specters, keep on haunting me evermore 

Hey you with all your secrets the story has just begun 
We see right through your scare tactics 
And your feeble attempts at diversion 
Make no difference, make no difference who’s to blame
Cause the only thing left that’s constant is change 
I say you better move if you can’t lend a hand 
Cause we’re gonna make our own way, 
Sun is setting on your dark day 
Whose to blame, said who’s to blame 
- -
Yes you, Mr. Untouchable, your pointing all your fingers through 
Putting guns in the hands of our children, 
Are their lives just a game to you? 
Tell me is your money that good? Will it buy you love? 
Do you think that it could?
The wheels still spinning and it’s coming around 
All it takes is a spark to burn it all down 
- -
Move your body round, I say I won’t let it fade out 
Move your body down, we can’t let it fade out 
- -
You Mr. Elation, with all your perfect plans for peace,
Until the power of love can exceed the love of power 
You know it can never, never be, 
Makes no difference, makes no difference who’s to blame 
Cause the only thing left that’s constant is a change 
You better move if you can’t lend a hand
Cause were gonna make it our own way, 
Sun is rising to a brighter day who’s to blame? 

This is how the story goes, 
I’ve got something that I stole 
A manuscript, a document, 
A failure and an argument 
Kiss to sleep right through the night 
Promise me and I won’t fight, 
In an innocent way I shuttered sick 
Scratched to solve the un-relievable itch 
- -
They say the holy wars 
Were all started by hired crooks 
If you believe in your heart, now it’s time let go 
Forget tomorrow’s sermon 
Or let the moment pass you by 
It’s too late 
- -
Numbers keep climbin gotta keep up the pace 
Uproot the lines as they grow on your face 
Career is over time to take off your clothes 
Feel the drip as it numbs all you know 
It’s only skin, oh it’s only skin 
And you can’t stop the reaper
From the sythe that she’s swinging 
A cut, a shot, the heat of her thighs,
Eyes that are crazy cause you can’t find a friend 
- -
I said the time is now and we got all,
The time is now we got it, got it all, we got it 
- -
At the end of the world we’ll all have a big party 
From sea to sea and into desert sands 
We’ll feel comfortable naked, won’t need our prescriptions 
To say we’re happy and admit we’re all scared 
Of growing old 
- -
Now is the time, the time is now, it’s not too late 
Forget tomorrow’s sermon… 
- -
We’re always runnin it’s not too late we’re runnin… 

The first step’s so called education, 
Next chapter is assimilation 
We keep you pacified so you will follow 
It’s a stand in line conglomerate 
In a bigot worship mortuary 
- -
We keep you satisfied so you will swallow 
It’s just beginners luck if you get out 
It’s just beginners luck if you get out
This finely fashioned fairy tale 
Spins a web that’s indestructible 
And rife with lies 
Soothe your sense til’ your mine 
- -
Next we bring intimidation, 
Social status segregation 
Where you all justify and play consumer 
Fear works further toward division, 
Indiscriminate spastic decisions 
We keep you paranoid, so you can’t struggle 
It’s just beginners luck if you get out 
It’s just beginners luck if you get out 
This finely fashioned fairy tale
Spins a web that’s indestructible 
And rife with lies 
Fill your pockets now your mine 
- -
And if you can’t find a vein, I’ll be the medicine
I’ll be the medicine for you 
My love only you, my love 
- -
We weave a tale of our stark heroics, 
Swaying the public from our bully pulpits 
Create illusions for imperial schemes, 
Poor against the poor for democracy 
While we rape that word with a swift incision, 
Snatch up the poverty to fill up the prisons 
Boost economy with perpetual war, 
And everything you buy only feeds us more! 
(so just keep buying…) 

Written for you these words, the love of my life 
The world is yours to discover 
With brand new eyes 
You’re no player in a game of roles assigned 
What yo
