Peaceful Day
Listen up everyone- there's something wrong
We got the answers in our sights now
But somehow we still struggle along
Looking for solutions in a threatening sky
But we never get an answer,
Just a chorus of voices wondering why
We're stuck here- Without a peaceful day
It's a promise in the night, I'll be OK.
The superlative is telling me that help is on
the way
Won't someone tell me how- Will I make it through
today
Looking towards the future- And all I can see
Is the next generation- Looking back
With pity on me
Hunting for some insight- Or a means to change
But do we have the will to- Or will our
Future look the same
How can I live- When you won't let me in
How can I die- Without reasons why
How can I laugh- When I want to cry
How can I go on- with nothing nowhere
How will I make it
Waste of Time
I got a question for all you sinners
Have you ever wondered is this all there is to
life?
A quick adventure- Not much to mention
A slow procession leading us to die
Or is there a heaven- A distant valley
A golden meadow waiting for us in the sky
No one right answer spirit seems broken
Still I just can't help but wonder why
Seems like a tragic waste of time
Who cares what happens when you die?
Life's too short to wonder why
Get on with your life
In towering churches- And holy temples
They all conspired- To tell me how to live my
life
But no religion- Or new theism
Could ever provide proof to quench my mind
And now I wonder- Who's sky I'm under
Is there a heaven- waiting for me when I die
No one right answer- Spirit seems broken
And still I can't help but wonder why
So many questions I can't tell the difference
Too many abstract thoughts now wrestle in my
mind
But through the darkness somewhere should be
waiting
A final truth to shower me with light
Their pearls of wisdom- And tales of glory
They feed me nicely until I found it was all
a lie
No one right answer- Spirit seems broken
And still I can't help but wonder why
Perfect People
All the perfect people- Shallow and deceitful
Staring back at me on TV in magazines
Look so good like a box of fresh wrapped twinkies
What the hell happened to me?
So I took a drive to a rich and wealthy country
Saw everything I wanted and everything I need
Went right up and tried to join their party
You oughta seen the look when they saw me
Fucked up eyes- Stupid grin
Perfect people won't let me in
Who's who list- Where's my name
They won't let me join their game
I bet you think that I'm insane
There's no one left for me to blame
Screw the perfect people
Fuck they all look the same
We're not much to look at
Too short, dumb and so fat
Never gonna win a beauty pageant it's a curse
Always gonna be a better doorman
At the best clubs
How could thing's be any worse?
Don't have much to go on don't want your opinion
Don't have much to gain and I ain't got much
to lose
Looks like you got it all and I'd really like
to
Get some
You got something I could use
Every Single Day
See all the people- Longing to be
Living their lives regretlessly
Trying to repress the pain in their lives
Reassuring themselves- Living with lies
No way to break through- Not on my own
Can't push away all the sorrow I've known
Have to release every thought or care
And take control life is a dare
I can start over today
Live my life a different way
Can't I find a way to erase bad times to make
Everything OK
I'll start over and live- Every single day
Regrets and memories- No remorse- No apologies
No reason for me to despair- No future at all
Ask if I care
I got time- On my side- Twenty four hours in
my life
Can't hang on to what's in my past
Full speed ahead- Hard and fast
At the end with each dropping sun
Can't erase what has been done who cares
What happened long ago- I don't want to know
Can't face tomorrow with these thoughts
Of yesterday
I can't escape the lies and make them go away
Wish I had the answers to help me make it through
Can't shake these images no matter what I do
I guess I'll use them to make a stronger man
I'll use each
Twisted tortured memory to help me understand
And I will learn
From mistakes that everyone makes- I've got
To find a way
I guess I'll have to live with them- every single
day
Searching
Can't run- Can't hide
No one here gets out alive
It don't get better that's the best you're gonna
get
The deal is in now place your bets
Can't eat- Can't sleep
Knowing that nothing's gonna satisfy me
Another blip up on a television screen
Among an ocean of stars
Tonight I will rage- Against the forces of fate
The tide is turning my way
You should know better than to fuck with me
Tonight I will rage against the forces of fate
You best get outta my way
I'm not gonna fade away slowly
Inside- My mind- Is a clock tick-tocking time
Not gonna stop until my last day's done
You wanna try me well come get some
Tempt fate- Can't wait
I gotta get out there's no time to hesitate
Not gonna waste it with the cynical fools
Can't bring me down
And if you want to try this disposition
Sacrifice all you knew
Sanitize your religion
Take your life and renew and do what you wanna
do
Not Far Away
Hey- It's my time
To change my direction in life just by reading
the signs
Hey- It's my turn
To see how many of my bridges will burn
I feel something breathing down my neck
Thought of tomorrow's got me like a nervous wreck
Not time for sorrow- It's your judgment day
It's not far away- It's not far away
There's a shiny coffin for you to rot in
And waste your days
It's not far away
Hey- I got something to say
Before the spirit of life starts slippin' away
I'm not gonna end my life
Wishing for one more chance again to get it right
I hear voices echo from the grave
Whispering softly- It's your judgment day
Hey- I won't rest in peace
Until this world is sick of hearing from me
Hey- Get outta my way
I got a lot more living to do before my
Judgment day
Freebase
I got some shit for sale you ought to get some
You'll be the highest guy who ever lived
It might kill you man you won't even know it
I can feel your best sense starting to give
You take the chance you lose control
The lessons from your past you need to know
Take one more hit of base
That shit is gonna blow up in your face
Ripping glass shards through your heart
You got a problem man you ought to fix it
You think you're getting high well guess again
Until it's too late well you won't even know
it
You better stop before you hit a dead end
When you out on the street
A different story every time we meet
You been hanging with a different crowd
Your acting tough and your talking loud
It's getting worse for you every single day
a bad habit and it won't go away
Where you gone where's my best friend
I can't help you cause you won't let me in
It's What You Do With It
Too much time in this same place got to get out
An undenying feeling- I gotta get away
Too many thoughts in one space- I've finally
had it
A dream now takes me to a secret place that lies
So far away
It's what you do with it- It's what you've waited
for
And when you find it- A place where no one has
Been before
I know I gotta listen to my mind 'cause if it
happens
To me
I'm sure it happens to you sometimes
Find a place you can go- Where nobody knows
You should listen to yourself sometimes
I'm sure it happens to you- I know it happens
to
Me sometimes
Find a place you can go- Where nobody knows
Nobody knows
Gone and without a trace- I'd like to have it
Taking only with me- Good dreams of yesterday
And my best friends with whom I'll share
This Journey
Our mental bags are packed cause we're leaving
Here today
It's what you do with it
It's what you've waited for
Try
You've been looking for me in the most obvious
places
Still I'm nowhere to be found
I'm perched atop the tallest buildings in the
city
And I'm intrigued as I look down
All the ants below share the same comfortable
existence
But they still wear the same frown
What a shame that they can't see the beauty
That's surrounding them when there's so much
all around
Try- Don't choose to walk away
There's a part in your soul it just takes
Time to find it
When you- Try- Take time and seize the day
Cause after today's gone
You'll never have the chance again
So try
While I sit here with so many thoughts
I'm listening to the rain
Falling to the ground
I'm just hoping one day soon all the unhappy
people find
Solace in the sound
And listen to the old clichés that all
the elders say
That life goes by too fast
I just wish there was some way that I could stop
the clock
And make the good times last
Don't throw it all away- No one day's the same
You must realize- It's all in your mind
Don't emphasize the pain- On one particular day
If you feel you're starting to slide
Just pull yourself together
Remember all that matters is you try
Same Old Story
It's patience trying- When you tell me how to
live
Well you don't know anything
Your expectations are wearing thin
You won't even take a look- To see another way
You aren't even listening
Take your ideals and go away
I'm not cut from the same old mold
I don't read from the same old story
I', not cut from the same mold
Don't know who you think I should be
I'm not cut from the same mold
I don't read from the same old story
I'm not cut from the same mold
Done with yours- I'm living my life for me
Tell me father- Did I turn out so bad
Didn't I look up to you
Took every piece of advice you had
Go to School- Get a job
Send me on your way
You aren't even listening
Take your dreams and go away
For so long I tried to understand
the qualities you thought made up a real man
Now it's time for me to find out for myself
I'm getting fed up I don't need your help
You never listen to both sides of the story
You never listen- You won't listen to me
I Won't Have It
A model brother- a model dad
A model citizen has somehow turned out bad
Pledging allegiance to another flag
Lifelong devotion to a man they think was far
from mad
the written word from they think their peers
A little propaganda they became white warriors
Bred on deception and bred on fear
They don't hear the barrage of lies
That pass right through their ears
When your head feels like it's real close to
imploding
And your life is revolving around hate
All that shit your brain is overloading
With help from papers and magazines
Another sheltered boy chooses what he will not
see
Views so distorted how can this be
When the love for hate is the basis for reality
Another headline another bash
Another harmless victim beaten up and not for
cash
Insanity well when will it end- If you don't
give it up
You'll never have the chance to make amends
You cannot keep it all inside
You've got to leave it all behind
You got a bullet in your head(Z. De La Rocha)
It's time to make a stance now make it
A bloody picture- Psychotic dream
Choosing to follow the worst lesson in all history
Just get a future yeah get a life- Cause if you
don't
Instead of mourning they'll be celebrating when
you die
Killing Time
On my TV- Violent images flash across my screen
A world of hate- Staring at the rise in murder
rate
I can't believe what we've become
Is all hope lost to everyone
A battered wife- Waits for us to hear
Her screams tonight
A child of war- Wonders what we're all fighting
for
I look and think how can this be?
What causes all our suffering?
Eyes wide open we can't see
I can't understand- It's out of hand
To me we're all just killing time
Killing time
Killing time- We're ruining our lives
Still we all refuse to see the signs
A ruthless gang- Teaches all kids to act insane
Religious right- Is buying up guns for
A hell of a fight
Another victim lies in pain-
A serial killer waits for fame
Have we all gone insane?
I can't understand- It's out of hand
To me we're all just killing time
Killing time
I can't believe- There's got to be-
Some way to break through
I think that I- Will have to try- Or I'll lose
my mind
We're all killing time
Why?
Fight Till You Die
Look all around you there's a war that's going
on A struggle against the odds that's breaking out and must be won They're
getting ready with the weapons they have found Take inspiration from the
sound See it in the faces of the people everyday We need to take control
and find some ammo right away our cause is righteous and we're gonna have
our say Get ready for the judgment day Go ahead and try Or kiss your
ass goodbye People of society are running for their lives Get up now and
go Or your never gonna know Never gonna make it in your houses lying low
Give it one good try Give it all and fight till you die A puppet
government They're dying in the streets Families are breaking up
cause underpaids can't make ends meet The establishment has put their money
underground Cause they all know what's coming down A lucky precious few
with money in their banks Can't imagine what it's like to find yourself
in homeless ranks They've got no conscience for the ones who won't survive
The time for payback has arrived All alone in your own society outside
are the cries of lives in misery an evil plot of a false democracy subjugating
souls just dying to be free
Date With Destiny
A burning plane as it's going down the last scream
before it hits the ground A lost ship on a raging sea a blinking distress
signal of emergency A run away train careening off the tracks the last
breath before a heart attack The earthquake as it shakes your room promising
falling skies in impending doom One chance you feel it before you meet
with your destiny One chance you need it to com to terms with mortality
All that's important to me Everything inside of me All that's trivial will
fade and soon recede you will see when on a date with destiny Look in the
jaws of your own demise watch your life pass before your eyes Did you live
like a dream come true or did you just survive? Did you do all you could
do? In a fall from a burning tower What would you do with just one more
hour? Live that hour out everyday Like it was your last you'll live much
better that way You're on a date with destiny
Get A Life
Wake up with the feeling that the whole world
got you down Pressure that keeps building got you dragging on the ground
Chaos keeps on losing in no answers to be found For what you are feeling
now Danger that surrounds you it gets worse here everyday
Criminals in power want to take your rights away
Never hear your protest they won't have you have your say Can't find a
better way but you don't try just Sit there and whine about your decline
I think it's pathetic sort of life you choose Methods abused solutions
refused Well good for you but some day you will loose your life Without
even giving it a try Depression's the only thing you'll find Give it one
chance before you die Just got one day to get a life Everyday procrastinate
you won't get very far Listen to religion try and tell you who you are
Marionettes on TV sets parade across your screen But you don't know what
it all means Think there is no point in trying to get up each day When
problems that confound only speed your slow decay Future's relegated to
a bland pathetic waste Cause you can't find a better way Know you'll never
make it you don't even want to try Waiting for the day when you can curl
up and die Tell anyone who'll listen the world's out to get you Blame anyone
you want you get the life you choose So when you gone get a clue No one's
gone wait for you Only you can make it all come true A never-ending struggle
but one day you'll see the light May not think you'll make it don't give
up without a fight Stay fast to aspirations of what you think is right
and Fight on with all your might
Society
Society We all know there's something wrong and
we know it all along Sincerity You may think there's no one else till they
put you on a shelf Society Pay your taxes stand in line help them plan
for your demise Society Crush the weak to get your share cause nobody's
playing fair And no one cares How long you pray makes no difference today
When your society devices how you'll pay When finding the truth makes no
difference to you Anyway you look at it you're gone get screwed You loose
Society No one here can get along cause our history's to long Sincerity
Think you're going with the flow but you never really know Society To all
the leaders it's a game and it's making you insane Society Data patterns
are supplied proof tap back up all the lies we're hardly alive
Final Day
You got a problem you don't know it Don't know
how long you can suffer it And it burns you can feel it till the bitter
end It didn't have to be this way You could have carried on Another chance
for you to test your freedom Where did it go wrong? Don't know how long
it's been inside you But you weren't feeling right Together we could always
solve you problems But now you're out of sight How many times did I ask
you What's going on? Didn't we have so many thought in common Where did
it go wrong? Ain't no use in denying with each word spoken you give yourself
away Your troubles are multiplying you lying as soon as you are gone face
You're final day Don't know when it's gone come your final day You didn't
think that I would notice I see it in your eyes The tragic flaw was you
forgot to back up all your alibis You kept it hidden deep inside you How
you were feeling then Did you give all of your time to someone? Was the
time well spend? You got a problem you don't know it Don't know how long
you can suffer it And it burns you can feel it till the bitter end All
that's hidden within you is worth repeating Say what you want to say You
got to try and just get through What's in you or soon you are gone face
Your final day
Broken
Been stuck on the outside since I can't remember
when Got up just long enough for them to beat me down again They crawl
inside my mind hoping there to find Ways to be fucking with my head They'll
never get the best of me I'm fighting back until I'm dead Cause I've been
used been abused I've been bruised I've been broken And I'm backed up against
the wall But my will to survive can't be stolen And you can't make me fall
Half-wits and dim pundits try to ruin my good name Parents and therapists
tell me I'm the one to blame They say "take it like a man" but I can't
understand Why they won't leave me alone Best friends and enemies think
I'd do better on my own When I think I can't go on just want to stay home
in my bed The problems of this fucked up world seem to be kept up in my
head I take a look around there's nowhere to be found Somewhere to justify
my life I guess I'll try to keep on trying someday I'll get it right
Running Out Of Time
People all around us are covering up their eyes
Hard to find the answers believing all the lies Wonder when we'll stop
it when will all of this end Got one last message to send We're killing
off the planet the end is drawing near Brother fighting brother a world
interned by fear If we don't try and stop it we slowly start to die Got
this one last chance to try If you want a future then you decide It's crumbling
all around you it happens here so many times Must be some solutions to
find a way If we don't get some answers one day soon you can bet we're
going to pay There's got to be a way So give us one good sign to
decide whose side we're on Cause we're running out of time Millennium upon
us and still we are denied Fruits of public labor unevenly supplied Prosperity
is limited to just a precious few Only one thing left to do Ancients spent
religions serve to separate the race Into tribes that fight each other
system must be replaced Xenophobic zealots are preparing for war What is
it we're fighting for Nation of hypocrisy discontent of lunacy Afraid we'll
never see the signs start the quest to find the truth take no
more of this abuse or one day you will find you running out of time
You'll Never Make It
First you're on a roll and then you loose control
Then you can't decide you think you lost your mind When you wanna get it
but now it is too late Nothing you can say your anger turns to hate Your
body gets excited preparing for the dance No time to be afraid nothing
is left to chance Can't avoid the feeling your world's about to end The
secret is revealed one day you'll wake up dead You wanna live You'll never
make it Immortal state of mind but we're the dying kind Extinguishing the
breed throughout all history Never can surrender you can't give up the
game Never won the fight you best prepare to die When you hear those voices
calling you to the grave Stop wasting all your days start living right
away Or soon you will regret it your chances have all gone One message
left to send your life will soon end You will be sorry when it's all gone
You've lost your chance to make some history You've lost the game and now
you'll see there's no escape mortality You think you have a future but
you're wrong You are wrong
Every Time
Every time I turn around I see places that look
so unreal Every time I try to say exactly how I feel And when I look at
you I see a different side each and every time I try to find another place
there's nothing I can find I wanna say feel it slipping away It happens
ever time you're in my mind I want to say things that to you are true But
I'm not sure about you I'll never be who you want me to be Gotta take some
time in my life Won't ever know until I try I just gotta know why Wouldn't
you like all the best things out of life? All you got to do is just try
then run for your life All you gotta do is what's best for you All you
gotta do is get through and run for your life A silence speaks to me a
voice that seems so far away The unheard cries of wasted lives I hear them
everyday Left in this sullen room I search for things that I can find To
hold on to to help me through nothing can be divined All of these images
start crumbling from my memory I search my mind go back in time to the
way things used to be
Nowhere Fast
And so you spread your lies, won't face reality
And endless fight a struggle to be free Close minded fools and their hypocrisy
The endless time you take away from me I don't need your sympathy Why do
you think your better than me Idleness antipathy Why do you want to stop
our scene Your way of life the paths you choose You will never try so you
can only loose Broken mirrors shattered glass You can sell your soul but
you are going nowhere fast And so you exercise your own free will I exercise
my fucking right to kill Vicious lies you propagate your swill Of you're
whole kind I've had my fill You're so transparent you don't think I can
see right through you all Of your venom directed reflected right back on
yourself Give your opinion to anyone who will listen to you But I wish
you would just give it to someone else All I get from you is some bullshit
attitude I see it in your eyes but you don't realize I'm waiting for the
day when you'll see a better way We may not be so kind to you next time
And so you spread your lies, won't face reality And endless fight a struggle
to be free Close minded fools and their hypocrisy I've got ideals you can't
take away from me
What If I
I've heard it all before Could hear it all a
thousand times more Playing with me all the time No one feels the same
And sanity is all a game Locked up deep inside my mind Hey die - you want
an alibi Hey quit - you want to get a fix Hey try - you'll never make it
tonight You can feel it deep inside All of the illusions for myself What
if I try to make amends for someone else What if I try to change the way
I'm feeling deep inside What if I died filled with sorrow wanting another
try No one can face the truth Was there nothing more that you could do
What would you do different next time Keep turning from the past The future's
coming much to fast Or is it all in my mind
Go Away
A world full of pollution A shit infested sea
We'll make our own solutions Take 'em down make 'em see You can't dump
in the ocean Waste from your endless greed Come to our own conclusions
Must unite to be free Cause salvation's on it's way When we are united
there's nothing standing in our way On our own agenda and we're gone have
our say You're never gone stop us we're never gone go away Corporations
run the nation We have to make a stance Let's start a revolution if we
can't no one can We must be represented or it's not democracy Let's put
our minds together and soon comes victory Cause salvation's on it's way
When we are united there's nothing standing in our way On our own agenda
and we're gone have our say You're never gone stop us we're never gone
go away What good is government when they just want to govern me We'll
make our own decisions take 'em down make 'em see We got to stand together
We got make some noise Numbers can change the system With one sound
with one voice
Did You Really
Tell me all your problems I'll save your soul
It could make you feel better But you never really know Don't give up on
tomorrow Save your scene It may not get any better Living isn't free Offer
up solutions Do what you wanna do Remove all of the people who tell you
lies about what you're going through But did you really wanna die
This question now keeps repeating in my mind A shot heard in the night
an unheard cry A fatal fight But did you really wanna die What did you
hope to find Did you want to find the answers somewhere floating in the
night Did you really wanna die? Tell me I'm forgiven Save my soul One thing
I've regretted is I'll never really know Value what's been given to you
and me How many times we said it Living isn't free Don't think you can
make it I can understand A phone call far away To lend a helping hand Don't
think I can make it Give it one more try Don't think I can take it Can't
believe you'd really wanna die I'd Help you give it one more try Did you
really wanna die Help you give it one more try I know you didn't wanna
die From words that you would write Now they're the only thing that help
me make it through the night I know you didn't wanna die
Bro Hymn Tribute
To our best friend, Present past and beyond Even
though they weren't with us too long Your life is the most precious thing
that we could lose While you were here the fun was neverending Laugh a
minute only the beginning Jason (my brother) Matthew Thirsk this one's
for you Ever get the feeling you can't go on Just remember whose side it
is that you're on You've got friends with you till the end If you're ever

anything together All of us are bonded forever if you die I die that's
the way it is.
Everything you see you always think you need
You are so crazy motivated by greed
You never take responsibility
You only waste your time when you fuck with me
All you do is take you see my hatred grows
Can't take much more I'm about to explode
You'll see a side Of me I've never shown
You'll feel pain like you've never known
Got enough but you want it all
In it for greed now you're gonna fall
Here we come gonna ruin your day
Time has come It's your turn to pay
The mighty dollar is your only care
You're movin' up but you're going nowhere
You say you only want to get your share
But you still want more no you won't play fair
you'll never ever quit you won't be denied
You sit and watch your money multiply
To get what you want you'll cheat and lie
But I know - you won't be satisfied
Today is a good day for suffering
Fools run the government sick foreign policy
Their words sound valiant but their hands are
green
Unending quest for power Taxes that make us slaves
Don't believe a word of it ignore the fucked
up things they say
I'm gonna make it on my own Dictator on a throne
Make my own philosophy U.S. of me
A citizen who's really pissed United Anarchists
Give me death or liberty I am my own country
United States Confederate of Me
Old whigs in parliament play bedroom politics
Salacious stories make them look obscene
Spin on your nemesis fill up the news today
Don't believe a word of it not all the fucked
up things they say
it's ail me No secret police
Wait!
Can't Believe it
Another victim another life another wasted casualty
The youth are shooting, robbing and looting
violence plagues society
in LA. you see it everyday on your TV on your
front page
you can try but you can't wish it away
I said wait can't believe it drunk and loaded
in the street
hatred flowing through their veins no respect
for human life
a world that slowly goes insane
on your front page on your TV it's the endless
urban tragedy
in your dark thoughts and wildest dreams can
you imagine
a worse society and when I think I can pretend
I turn on my TV again and all the fucked up things
I see
I can't believe how this can be.
Take
a ride and you will see another dose of reality
It's your life that becomes a victim of me
I think I'm sick and you will see
Because one good shot and you=ll
end up dead
It's violence on the streets and it will never
end
The world is not built for me and your my next
victim
Victim of reality
Voices screaming in my head telling me the path
that I tread
It's not sane but it's where we're fed
You're gonna end up dead
It's not something new to me a body in the street
free publicity
for me and you a world we've known a world that
is so cold
The
look in your eyes tells me you can't disguise why won't you try and face
the truth
You're stuck nowhere I can see that you don=t
care
It doesn't seem like it means much to you
I'm sick of listening to you whining It might
be a dream instead it means nothing
It could be everything you wanted it to be It
might be a dream instead it means nothing
It could be everything you wanted it to be It
might be a dream
I see you everyday wasting your time away
afraid to try afraid to lose
don't know why you can't see you could have everything
or nothing at all it's up to you
you've always got to keep on trying
You know you're life could be all you want it
be keep getting closer day by day
Images in your head and they wont go away
if you don't try you'll only fail
STILL CAN
BE GREAT
Every time you try to change something always
goes wrong
And by the time you figure it out everything
you wanted was gone
do you know there is a way to be everything you
always wanted to be
Can I Say if you start today you begin to make
your own reality
don't say it's not worth it I know you can change
It may never be perfect there's no one to blame
When you feel yourself going down pick yourself
up off the ground
It may never be perfect it still can be great
So you think you've lost your chance the world
just keeps passing you by
But you can find what you're looking for only
if you're willing to try
All
the things you want all the things you need you got the power to choose
you got the right to be all the things you loathe all the things you hate
is what you will become until you will go straight all the things denied
the shit you can't believe you don't blame your self you blame society
all the things in life that you've been waiting for wait outside your door
All your problems won't go away I guess this is the price you pay your
decisions you will soon regret throw away your life go straight ahead I
see you everyday wasting your time away you got no respect got nothing
good to say all the things you loathe all the things you hate see what
you will become unless you will go straight all the things in life all
that you wanna be but you don't even try you want it all for free all the
things in life that you've been waiting for wait outside your door
I
got my way of life and I won't back down or apologize
for things I cannot change guess I gotta do things
my own way
And I don't give a damn if you got a problem
with who I am
Cause I don't give a fuck you wanna change me
well you're outta luck
I don't think that I could never ever change
And I don't know if I would want to anyway
And I don't care if never live to see the day
We can compromise I'm doing things my own way
It's so hard to believe that we can see the world
so differently
We don't realize cause we can't see the world
through each other's eyes
We'll never understand I don=t
think that anybody can
I won't change anyway guess were both just stubborn
stuck in our ways
I don't care if you never see the world like
I do
A
million faces are blurred in today A million lives that are so far away
I'm alone and I want you to know I want to scream but there's nowhere to
goA million voices are making the cry a million lives that are waiting
to die A million families are wasting away split by decision it must go
away Someone soon is goona die wasting away in a world full of lies Song
unseen another day somehow tomorrow somehow today If you don't listen you'll
never learn watch yourself or you might get burned Isn't it time to tell
yourself I've got to get out I've got to go We've got to be one voice How
many lives will be taken today How many times will we just look away How
many voices cry to be heard screaming alone but no one hears a word How
many faces alone in the crowd waiting for answers facing the clouds How
much longer do we have to wait times running out and there's no time to
waste
Everyday
convince myself of everything I can and can't believe abused confused
Everyday you fee every crime just stare up at
the sky and wonder why afraid deranged
Hold on to your promise you can use it for a
crutch stand by while all your dreams are trampled in the dust Leave now
before your slick machines begin to rust Last chance farewell among us
Everyday you get a little bit older and everything
gets hard you wonder why
afraid deranged
everyday you feel every crime an endless shocking
show on the parade abused confused
Where are the Aliens? We're the Aliens
I
am a puppet on a string
I am the worst thing worst thing you've ever
seen
I am impossible to believe
I'm pulled by gravity shocked by my depravity
I'm irrational I'm illogical hypocritical a bleeding
heart liberal
I'm an alien dressed like Gideon I'm a malcontent
a thorough modern idiot watch me as I fall
I am humble I am vain
what motivates me something I can't explain
I am outrageous and insane
I'm fueled by gasoline, alcohol and nicotine
I'm an honest hypocrite imploding modern idiot
I am a slave to my abuse convicted caught with
no excuse
I'm pathetic apathetic disillusioned disconnected
I am lost I am free I'm impossible to believe
a walking chemical statistically impossible
a thorough modern idiot watch me as I fall
Thought
you could face the world now you lost your nerve Things
you can't deny you best believe it when everything you wanted is gone Struck
down although you don't like it nothing of value to be found NEED MORE
Everything
you say to me is a lie you've lost control
NEVER KNOW
With
so much bullshit what can you believe
BADGE OF PRIDE
All the bullshit that I see so much I can't believe
grown man just tryin' to be true to myself impossibly I may not ever get
rich might wind up diggin' a ditch I won't cry no I won't bitch I wont
back down and I'll never quit It is my badge of pride -hardcore 'til the
day I die just tryin' to survive I won't back down or apologize Say what
you wanna say I'm not listening anyway I'll believe what I wanna believe
true to myself that's how it's gotta be. All the methods that I use all
the things I use and abuse it all leaves me confused I've beer torn up,
beat down and bruised but somehow I was saved and I'm standing here today
Now I do things my own way cause I'm never going back again
You wanna see a change for tomorrow You wanna
see a change just for you Depression closes in you can't escape no one
understands
they can't relate you won't know until it hits
you It never goes away feel it everyday your only hope it could change
tomorrow You wanna see a change for tomorrow You wanna see a change just
for you You wanna see a change before you throw it all away Something has
gotta break Just for you break through tradition break through to life
hold onto anything you can find
All the things you held so close until the tables
turned
And when I tried to warn you still you took the
risk
How did I know we'd drift apart how did I know
it would come to this
Now everything is over and it never will return
You're just a part of my life a memory I wanna
burn
I could feel it ending you won't face the truth
I can't live with all your lies I can't take
more of your abuse
No I can't take anymore Don't apologize to even
the score
Hypocrisy and unity they're not just words to
me
No I can't take anymore
Want to send you a letter just to put your mind
at ease
I could write it up in the sky I still don't
think that you could see
You won't admit that it's over you won't face
the truth
I can live with all your lies I can't take more
of your abuse
All the things you try to hide won't wash away
All the life you took from me you can't disguise
will never fade
So don't look for the answers or somewhere to
place the blame
There's nothing that can save you now
can't get back what you threw away
Violence breeds violence you know we'll never
stop it for progress we will protect the game
We struck the fuse you can't refuse it the memory
is all that will remain The political scene coming apart at the seams Its
the end of the American Dream The temperature is ready to burst
The future is not what it seems for the American
Dream
Time has come you know we can't stop it You know
that the end is drawing near
Knocked down the sound of it collapsing So loud
no one can hear Mindless old tyrants do you hear the sirens song that will
herald your demise excessive sessions on your transgressions we're all
left sifting through the lies
All you say is just a mask for what you feel
down deep inside
And I don't care about getting your respect not
in your eyes
It's just an illusion a faded dream of what we
had and so much more
So if you wanted to ask and I think you should
know
I've given up on the past Now I know that I need
more this time
Everytime I try to make you understand you look
away
And now I know you are never going to change
you've lost control
I wanna know how you lost your self-respect you
are so blind
It's not an illusion and I can't understand why
you don't want more
So many lives all divided by greed
No way to stop no way to erase what we all cannot
face
Sometimes the thunder it slowly creeps in
makes us all wonder where did it begin
No way to stop it only it will growto what we
will never know
I just can't believe no way to stop it if no
one can see
We gotta take control or we will rover know
Say what you wanna say there's no tomorrow if
we don't start today
We gotta take control or we will never know
It's on your tv all over the news
what does it matter it's not happening to you
No you can't stop it can't wish it way
And it happens more everyday
When will we stand up when will be heard
They go on screaming no one hears a word
No way to stop only it will grow ti what we will
never know
