ONCE
I admit it...what's to say
I'll relive it...without pain
Backstreet lover on the side of the road
I got a bomb in my temple
That is gonna explode
I got a sixteen gauge buried
Under my clothes...I play...
Once upon a time I could control myself
Oooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah
Oh, try and mimic...what's insane
I am in it...where do I stand?
Indian summer and I hate the heat
I got a backstreet lover on the passenger seat
I got my hand in my pocket
So determined, discreet...I pray...
Once upon a time I could control myself
Ooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah
You think I got my eyes closed
But I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time
Ooh, once upon a time I could control myself, yeah
Once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah
Once, upon a time I could love myself, yeah
Once upon a time I could love you, yeah
Once (5x)
Once, yeah, yeah
Yeah
EVEN FLOW
Freezin', rests his head on a pillow made of concrete, again
Oh, Feelin' maybe he'll see a little better, set a days, ooh yeah
Oh, hand out, faces that he sees time again ain't that familiar, oh yeah
Oh, dark grin, he can't help, when he's happy looks insane, oh yeah
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again
Life again, life again...
Kneelin', looking through the paper though he doesn't know to read, ooh yeah
Prayin', now to something that has never showed him anything
Oh, feelin', understands the weather of the winters on its way, yeah
Oh, ceilings, few and far between all the legal halls of shame, yeah
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again
Whispering hands, gently lead him away
Him away, him away...
Yeah!
Woo...
Ah yeah...
Fuck it up...
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again, yeah
Oh, whispering hands, gently lead him away
Him away, him away...
Yeah!
Woo...
Uh huh...
Yeah, yeah, mommy, mommy...
ALIVE
Son, she said
Have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy
Was nothin' but a....
While you were sittin'
Home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin'
Sorry you didn't see him
But I'm glad we talked...
Oh I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey...oh...
Oh, she walks slowly
Across a young man's room
She said I'm ready...for you
I can't remember anything
Anything to this very day
'Cept the look, the look
Oh, you know where
Now I can't see, I just stare...
I, I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Hey I, boy, I'm still alive
Hey I, I, I, I'm still alive, yeah
Ooh yeah...yeah yeah yeah...oh...oh...
Is something wrong, she said
Well of course there is
You're still alive, she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be
Is that the question
And if so...if so...
Who answers? (2x)
I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Yeah I, ooh, I'm still alive
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
WHY GO
She scratches a letter
Into a wall made of stone
Maybe someday
Another child
Won't feel as alone as she does
It's been two years
And counting
Since they put her in this place
She's been diagnosed
By some stupid fuck
And mommy agrees, yeah...
Why go home... (3x)
She seems to be stronger
But what they want her to be is weak
She could play pretend
She could join the game, boy
She could be another clone
Why go home? (4x)
What you taught me
Put me here
Don't come visit
Mother
Why go home? (4x)
What you taught me
Put me here
Don't come visit
Mother, mother, yeah
Why go home? (7x)
BLACK
Hey...oooh...
Sheets of empty canvas
Untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me
As her body once did
All five horizons
Revolved around his own
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed
Has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was, everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all, that she was
And now my bitter hands
Chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything
Oh, the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by
Some kids at play
I can feel their laughter
So why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin
Round my head
I'm spinning
Oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands
Cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have
All been washed in black
Tattooed everything
All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see
All that I am
All I'll ever be...
Yeah
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life
I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky
But why
Why
Why can't it be
Why can't it be mine
JEREMY
At home
Drawing pictures
Of mountain tops
With him on top
Lemon yellow sun
Arms raised in a V
The dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn't give attention
To the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the wicked
Oh, ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today (2x)
Clearly I remember
Pickin' on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck
But we unleashed a lion
Gnashed his teeth
And bit the recess lady's breast
How could I forget
And he hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurtin'
Ooh, dropped wide open
Just like the day
Oh, like the day I heard
Daddy didn't give affection
And the boy was something mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked
Ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today (3x)
Woo (14x)
Try to forget this...try to forget this...
Try to erase this...try to erase this...
>From the blackboard
Jeremy spoke in class today (2x)
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in (2x)
Jeremy spoke in class today
Woo (29x)
Woooooohhh
Spoke in, spoke in
Woooooohhh
Uh huh, uh huh...
OCEANS
Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Glide me towards...
You know something's left
And we're all allowed
To dream of the next
Oh, ohh the next, time we touch...
Oooh (4x)
You don't have to stray
Tho oceans away
Waves roll in my thoughts
Hold tight the ring...
The sea will rise...
Please stand by the shore...
Oh, oh, oh, I will be...
I will be there once more...
Oooh (4x)
Uh huh, oh yeah (2x)
PORCH
What the fuck is this world
Running to, you didn't
Leave a message
At least I
Coulda' learned your voice one last time
Daily minefield
This could, be my time
Bout you?
Would you hit me? (2x)
Oh...oh...wow...
All the bills go by, and
Initiatives are taken up
By the middle
There ain't gonna be any middle any more
And the cross I'm bearing home
Ain't indicative of my place
Left the porch (2x)
Oh...
Hear my name
Take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand
Walk beside me
I just need to say...
Hear my name
Take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand
Lie beside me
I just need to say
I could not take
A just one day
I know that I would not ever touch you
Hold you
Feel you
Ever hold
Never again
Yeah (12x)
GARDEN
The direction of the eye, so misleading
The defection of the soul, nauseously quick
I don't question, our existence
I just question, our modern needs
I will walk...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
Into your garden
Garden of stone
After all is done
And we're still alone
I won't be taken
Yet I'll go...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
Into your garden
Garden of stone
I don't show...
I don't share...
I don't need, yeah...
What you have to give...
Oooh, I will walk...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
Into your garden, garden...oh...
I will walk with my hands bound
I will walk into your garden
Garden of stone...
I don't know
I don't care
I don't need, yeah
Need to live
Uh huh huh...
DEEP
On the edge
Windowsill
Ponders his maker
Ponders his will
To the street below
He just ain't nothin'
But he's got a great view
And he sinks the needle deep, yeah
Oh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah
Oh, can't touch the bottom
Oh, on the edge of
A know-nothin' town
Feelin' quite superior
The aged come
To the sky above
He just ain't nothin'
But he's got a great view
And he sinks a burning knife deep, yeah...
Ooh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah
Uh huh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep...
Ohhh...Ohhh...
On the edge
Of a Christmas clean love
Young virgin from heaven
Visiting him
To the man above her
She just ain't nothin'
And she doesn't like the view
She doesn't like the view (2x)
But he sinks himself deep
Oh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah
Oh, can't touch the bottom
Can't touch the bottom
Deep, yeah
Oh, the bottom (6x)
RELEASE
I see the world
Feel the truth
Which way to go
Windowsill
I see the world's
On a rocking horse of time
I see the birds in the rain
Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...
Oh, dear dad
Can you see me now
I am myself
Like you somehow
I'll ride the wave
Where it takes me
I'll hold the pain
Release me
Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...
Oh, dear dad
Can you see me now
I am myself
Like you somehow
I'll wait up in the dark
For you to speak to me
I'll open up...
Release me
Release me (3x)
Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...
GO
Oh please don't go out on me
Don't go out on me now
Never acted up before
Don't go on me now
I swear I never too it for granted
Just thought of it now
Suppose I abused you
Just passing it on
Go...fuck...
Once fastened, servile
Now your getting sharp
Moving oh so swiftly
With such disarm
I pulled the covers over him
Shoulda' pulled the alarm
Turned to my nemesis
A full on fucking god
No...time...suck...my...
Please...
Don't go on me (4x)
Please...oh...
Suck...blood...touch...please, tunnel vision...
Tuck...time...see...
Please, please, please...
Don't go on me (4x)
Please...
Don't you want me
Don't go on me
Please...
Don't go on me
ANIMAL
One, two, three, four, five against one
Five, five, against one
Said one, two, three, four, five against one
Five, five...five, five...five against one
Torch her from you to me
Abducted from the street
I'd rather be...
I'd rather be with...
I'd rather be with an animal
Why would you wanna hurt me, oh
So frightened of your pain
I'd rather be...
I'd rather be with...
I'd rather be with an animal

I'd rather be with an animal

DAUGHTER
Alone...listless...
Breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl...violins...
Center of her own attention
The, mother reads aloud
Child, tries to understand it
Tries to make her proud
The shades go down
It's in her head
Painted room...
Can't deny...
There's something wrong...
Don't call me daughter
Not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter
Not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me...
She holds the hand
That holds her down
She will...rise above...
Ooh...oh...
Don't call me daughter
Not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter
Not fit to be
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter
Not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter
Not fit to be
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me...
The shades go down (2x)
The shades go, go, go...
GLORIFIED G
Got a gun
Fact, I got two
That's O.K. man, cuz I love god
Glorified version of a pellet gun
Feels so manly, when armed
Glorified version of a pellet gun (4x)
Don't think
Dumb is strength
Never shot at a living thing
Glorified version of a pellet gun
Feels so manly, when armed
Glorified version of a pellet gun (3x)
Glorified version of a...

Kindred to be an American...
Life comes...I can feel your heart...
Ooh...life comes...I can feel your heart through your neck...
Life comes...I can feel your heart through your neck...
Life comes...I can steal your heart form your neck...
Glorified...glorified...
DISSIDENT
She nursed him there
Ooh, over a night
I wasn't so sure
She wanted him to stay
What to say...what to say
But soon she was down
Soon he was low
At a quarter past...a holy no...
She had to turn around
When she couldn't hold, oh...she folded...
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here
And to this day, she's glided on
Always home but so far away
Like a word misplaced
Nothing said, what a waste
When she had contact...with the conflict...
There was meaning
But she sold him to the state
She had to turn around
When she couldn't hold...she folded...
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh...
She gave him away
When she couldn't hold...no...she folded...
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh...
Couldn't hold on...she couldn't hold...no...she folded...
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest place, oh...
A dissident is here
W.M.A.
He won the lottery
When he was born
Took his mothers white breast to his tongue
Trained like dogs
Color and smell
Walks by me to get to him
Police man (2x)
He won the lottery
By being born
Big hand slapped a white male 'merican
Do no wrong
So clean cut
Dirty his hands
It comes right off
Police man (2x)
Police stopped my brother again (3x)
Police man (2x)
Jesus greets me...looks just like me...
Do no wrong
So clean cut
Dirty his hands
It comes right off
Police man (3x)
Police stopped my brother again (3x)
Police man (2x)
Police stopped my brother again (3x)
Police man (3X)
All my pieces set me free...human devices set me free...
BLOOD
Spin me round
Roll me over
Fuckin' circus
Stab it down
One way needle
Pulled so slowly
Drains and spills
Soaks the pages
Fills their sponges
It's my blood (2x)
Paint Ed big
Turn Ed into
One of his enemies
It's my blood (3x)
Stab it down
Fill the pages
Suck my life out
Victor of my enemies
Take...my...
My...my...my...my...my...my...
REARVIEWMIRROR
I took a drive today
Time to emancipate
I guess it was the beatings
Made me wise
But I'm not about to give thanks
Or apologize
I couldn't breath
Holdin' me down
Hand on my face
Kissin' the ground
Enmity gauged
United by fear
'Posed to endure
What I could not forgive...
I seem to look away
Wounds in the mirror waved
It wasn't my surface
Most defiled
Head at your feet
Fool to your crown
Fist on my plate
Swallowed it down
Enmity gauged
United by fear
Tried to endure
What I could not forgive
Saw things (4x)
Clearer (2x)
Once you, were in my...
Rearview mirror
I gather speed
>From you fucking with me
Once and for all
I'm far away
Hardly believe
Finally the shades...
Are raised...hey...
Saw things so much clearer }
Once you, once you... } (3x)
Rearview mirror }
Saw things so much clearer
Once you...
RATS
They don't eat
Don't sleep
They don't feed
They don't seethe
Bare their gums when they moan and squeak
Lick the dirt off a larger one's feet
They don't push
Don't crowd
Congregate until they're much too loud
Fuck to procreate till they are dead
Drink the blood of their so called best friend
They don't scurry when something bigger
Comes their way
Don't pack themselves together
And run as one
Don't shit where they're not supposed to
Don't take what's not theirs
They don't compare
They don't scam
Don't fight
Don't oppress an equals given rights
Starve the poor so they can be well fed
Line their holes with the dead ones bread
They don't scurry when something bigger
Comes their way
Don't pack themselves together
And run as one
Don't shit where they're not supposed to
Don't take what's not theirs
They don't compare
They don't scurry when something bigger
Don't pack themselves together
And run as one
Don't shit where they're not supposed to
Don't take what's not theirs
They don't compare
Rats
They don't compare
Rats
They don't compare
Ben, the two of us need look no more (5X)
ELDERLY WOMAN BEHIND THE COUNTER IN A SMALL TOWN
I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar yet
I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought
To light your name
Lifetimes are catching up
With me
All these changes taking place
I wish I'd seen the place
But no one's ever taken me
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (2x)
I swear I recognize your breaph
Memories like fingerprints
Are slowly raising
Me you wouldn't recall
For I'm not my former
It's hard when, your stuck upon the shelf
I changed by not changing at all
Small town predicts my fate
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see
I just want to scream...hello...
My god its been so long
Never dreamed you'd return
But now here you are
And here I am
Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (2x)
Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (3x)
Hearts and thoughts they fade...
LEASH
Troubled souls unite
We got ourselves tonight, oh...
I am fuel, you are friends
We got the means to make amends
I am lost, I'm no guide
But I'm by your side
I am right by your side, yeah...
Young lover I stand
It was their idea
I proved to be a man
Take my fucking hand
It was their idea
I proved to be a man
Will myself to find a home
A home within myself
We will find a way
We will find our place
Drop the leash, drop the leash... } (2x)
Get outta' my fuckin' face }
Drop the leash, drop the leash...
Get outta' my fuckin'...face...
Drop the leash, we are young
Drop the leash, we are young
Oh, get outta' my fuckin' face...
Drop the leash, drop the leash...
Get outta' my, my...
Delight, delight, delight in our youth...oww...
Get outta' my fuckin' face...
INDIFFERENCE
I will light the match this mornin'
So I won't be alone
Watch as she lies silent
For soon light will be gone
Oh, I will stand arms outstretched
Pretend I'm free to roam
Oh, I will make my way, through, one more day...alone...
How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make, yeah...
I will hold the candle
Til it burns pp my arm
Oh, I'll keep takin' punches
Until their will grows tired
Oh, I will stare the sun down
Until my eyes go blind
Hey, I won't change direction
And I won't change my mind
How much difference does it make
Mmm, how much difference does it make..how much difference...
I'll swallow poison, until I grow immune
I will scream my lungs out
Til it fills this room
How much difference (2x)
How much difference does it make (2x)
BREATH
Oh tonight began with anything
Shadows, a light, a warm breath and a scream
Oh yeah
Oh, tamper if you like between the door
Oh, can't expect to go out...to go out...
With anything...anything more...
Oh, glory's the door
A breath and a...glory's the door
And a la la la la yeah
Life ain't what it's worth
A breath and a...glory's the door
All these reaching hands out, grabbin' things
Grabbin' me
Day in, day out, accumulating
Oh yeah
Oh, I suggest you step out on your porch
Oh yeah, huh, huh, huh, huh, yeah...
Run away my son
To see it all
Oh, see the world
Glory's the door
A breath and a...glory's the door
And a la la la la yeah
Life ain't what it's worth
A breath and a...glory's the door
Come
Here it comes
There it goes
When it comes
Where it goes
Where it comes
Can't see through the faith
Ooh, come
Here it comes
There it goes
Grasp what you can
Don't you know there's something inside your hand, yeah...
Oh, if I knew where it was I would take you there
There's much more than this, ooh
Much more than this
Oh see the world
Much more than, oh
Much more than
STATE OF LOVE AND TRUST
State of love and trust is a
Bustin' down the pretext
Since their plays and preachers
Went to heaven and to court
Uh huh
And the signs are passin'
Grip the wheel, can't read it
Sacrifice receiving
The smell that's on my hands...hands...yeah
And I listen
For the voice inside my head
Nothin', I'll do this one myself
Lay her down as priest does
Should the Lord be a countin'
Will be in my honor
Make it pain, painfully quick, uh huh
Promises are whispered
In the days of darkness
Want to be enlightened
Like I want to be told the end, end, yeah...
And the barrel shakes
And directly at my head.
Oh, help me, help me from myself
And I listen
>From both sides of a friend
Nothin', I'll do this one myself
Uh huh, huh, oh...
Myself...myself...
Yeah, yeah...
Hey, na, na, na, na, hey, that's something (3x)
Wanna back, back it away, yeah, huh, uh
And I listen
For the voice inside my head.
Nothin', I'll do this one myself.
Oo, ah, and the barrel waits
Trigger shakes, aimed right at my head
Won't you help me
Help me from myself
Hmm...State of love and trust, and a...
State of love and trust, and a...
State of love and trust, and a
State of love and...yeah...
FOOTSTEPS
Don't even think about reaching me
I won't be home
Don't even think about stopping be
Don't think of me at all
I did, what I had to do
If there was a reason, it was you...
Don't even think about gettin' inside
Voices in me head, ooh voices
I got scratches, all over my arms
One for each day, since I fell apart
I did, oh, what I had to do
If there was a reason, it was you
Footsteps in the hall
It was you, you...oh...
Pictures on my chest
It was you, it was you...
I did, what I had to do
Oh, and if there was a reason
Oh, there wasn't no reason, no
And if, there's something you'd like to do
Just let me continue, to blame you
Footsteps in the hall
It was you, you...oh...
Pictures on my chest
It was you, you...oh...
WASH
Oh please, let it rain today
This city is so filthy
Like my mind in ways
Oh, there was a time
Like a clean, new taste
Smiling eyes before me
Inches from my face
Wash my love (3x)
Sin for sale, buying just a need
Just who planted, all the devils seeds
And what the truth, the truth that lies at home, yeah...
It's on the inside, and I can't get it off
Wash my love (3x)
What's clean is pure, but hey, I'm white on the outside,
yeah...
Though I stray
What she don't know today, might kill us both tomorrow
Bring it back someway
Bring it back to the clean form
The pure form
Wash my love (8x)
DIRTY FRANK
Dirty Frank Dahmer, he's a gourmet cook, yeah
I got a recipe for famous ankle soup, yeah
Wanted a pass

A release
Bus driving's harder on your head than on your feet
Dirty frank (x4)
Keeps it clean, a keeps it copasetic

Dirty frank (x4)
Yeah...watch it...
Why that dirty Frank was a bad mother...

Don't want to be part of frank's luncheon
Lose weight
Be safe
Where's Mike McCready?
My god, he's been ate!
Dirty frank (x4)
CRAZY MARY
She lived on the curve of the road
In an old, tar-paper shack
On the south side of town
On the wrong side of the tracks
Sometimes on the way into town
We'd say 'Mama, can we stop and give her a ride?'
Sometimes we did, but her hands flew from her side
Wild eyed, crazy Mary
Down a long dirt road
Past the Parson's place
An old blue car we used to race
Little country store
With a sign tacked to the side
Said 'No L-o-I-t-e-r-I-n-g allowed'
Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around (3x)
One night thunder cracked
And she back d outside her windowsill
Dreamed I was flying high above the trees, over the hills
Looked down into the house of Mary
Terrible tunnel, newspaper-covered walls
And Mary rising above it all
Next morning on the way into town
Saw some skid marks, and followed them around
Over the curve, through the fields
Into the house of Mary
That what you fear the most, could meet you halfway (2x)
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around (3x)
YELLOW LEDBETTER
Unsealed
On a porch a letter sat
Then you said I wanna leave it again
Once I saw him
On a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand, I wanna leave it again, yeah...
On a weekend, on a visit on her way, yeah...
And they called and I said, and I want what I said
And I call out again
And the reason, oughta' leave her calm, I know
I said, I know what I wear, a box or the bag
Oh yeah...can you see them?
Out on the porch
Yeah, but they don't wave
I see them
Round the front way, yeah...
And I know and I know
I don't want to stay
Make me cry...
I see
I don't know there's something else
I wanna drum it all away
And I said
I don't, I don't know where there's a box or the bag
Oh yeah...can you see them?
Out on the porch
Yeah, but they don't wave
I see them
Round the front way, yeah...
And I know and I know
I don't wanna stay, oh...
I don't wanna stay... (3x)
I don't, don't wanna...yeah...
Ooh...oh...
ANGEL
Like an angel, fly over your house
Like an angel, pass out wishes
Like an angel, I will move the arrow
Like an angel, I live alone
I'm not livin' what was promised
I am close but can't enjoy
Oh, I'm not dyin'
Oh, I'm so tortured
'Cause I see all
Tortured, and all I cannot do
Tortured, all I should have done
Tortured, while I occupied a man
I'm not livin' what was promised
I am far from glorified
Oh, I'm not dyin'
Oh, I'm not alone
Mind is not a celestial state
With idle helms of praise
Time is short, I have an appointment at noon, at noon in Hell
Across the waste of space and fields of air I glide, alone at night
Oh please, please think of me
'Cause I'm, I'm by your side
I'm by your side, I'm by your side
I'm...I'm right in front of you
I'm by your side
SONIC REDUCER (Dead Boys)
I don't need anyone, don't need no mom and dad
Don't need no good advice, don't need no human rights
I got some news for you, don't even need you too
I got my time machine, got my 'lectronic dream
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser...oh...
Got a sonic reducer, sonic reducer...

I got my time machine, got my little 'lectronic dream
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser...oh...
Sonic reducer, sonic reducer...ahhh...
I'll be your bearer soon, love on some cotton doom
Things will be different then, the sun will rise from here

I got my time machine, got my 'lectronic dream
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser...oh...
Sonic reducer, sonic reducer...oh...
Sonic reducer, sonic reducer...yeah...
Sonic reducer, sonic reducer, sonic reducer...oh...
BETTER MAN
Waiting, watching the clock
It's four o'clock, it's got to stop
Tell him, take no more
She practices her speech
As he opens the door, she rolls over,
Pretends to sleep as he looks her over
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man
Can't find a better man (2x)
Oh...
Talking, to herself
There's no one else who needs to know
She tells herself, oh...
Memories back when she was bold and strong
And waiting for the world to come along
Swears she knew, now she swears he's gone
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man
She lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man
Can't find a better man (2x)
She loves him...ow, she don't want to leave this way
She needs him...ow, that's why she'll be back again
Can't find a better man (3x)
Can't find a better...man...
PATRIOT (Steve Van Zandt)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous (2x)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday
I went walking, with my brother
And he wondered, oh, how I am
Said what I believe with my soul
Ain't what I see with my eyes
And there's no turning back this time
I am a patriot, and I love my country
Because my country is all I know
I wanna be with my family
People who understand me
I got no place else to go, I am a patriot
I went walking, with my girlfriend
She looks so fine, I said baby what's on your mind
She said I wanna run like the lions
Released from their cages'
Released from the rages burning in my soul tonight
I am a patriot
And I ain't no communist, and I ain't no socialist
And I ain't no capitalist, and I ain't no imperialist
And I ain't no democrat, I sure ain't no republican either
I only know one party, and that is freedom, I am, I am, I am
I am a patriot, and I love my country
Because my country is all I know
And the rivers shall open for the righteous (2x)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday
Someday, someday, someday...
MASTERS OF WAR (Bob Dylan)
Come you masters of war, you that build all the guns
You that build the death place, you that build all the guns
You that hide behind walls, you that hide behind desks
I just want you to know, I can see through your masks
You that never done nothing, but to build and destroy
You play with my world, like its your little toy
You put a drug in my head, then you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run following the fast foolish lie
Like Judas of old, you lie and deceive
A world war can be won, you won't need to believe
But I see through your eyes, and I see through your brain
like I see through the water that runs down my drain
You that fasten all the triggers, for the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch, while the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion, while young people's blood
Flows out their bodies and is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear, that could ever be hurled
The fear to bring children, into this world
For threatenin' my baby, unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood that runs in your veins
How much do I know, to talk out of turn?
You might say that I'm young, you might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know, though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question, is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness? Do you think that it could?
Oh, I think you will find, when your death takes its toll
All the money y`u made will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die, and your death will come soon
I'll follow your casket, in the pale afternoon
And I'll watch as your lowered, into your deathbed
And I'll stand on your grave till I'm sure that your dead
ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD (Neil Young)
There are colors on the street
Red, white, and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
There's a warnin' sign in the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan
But I am to them
So I try to forgive em, any way I can, yeah...
I see a girl in the night
With a baby in her hands
Under an old street light
Oh, near a garbage an
Now she put her kid away
She's gone to get a hit
She hates her life, and what she's done with it
That's one more kid, that'll never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool
Keep on rockin' in the free world (3x)
( The US of A, the United States )
( Ain't a free place, it's not a free place )
( Ain't got the right to choose, there they got the right to vote )
( There they got the right to make an honest buck )
( The USA ain't a free, free place )
There's a thousand points of light
For the colored man
There's a kinder, gentler police man's hand
There's department stores, and toilet paper
Styrofoam garbage for the Ozone layer
There's a man of the people, said 'keep hope alive'
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive
Keep on rockin' in the free world (4x)
HARD TO IMAGINE
Paint a picture, using only grey
Light your pillow, lay back, watch the flames
Tel` a story, but no one listens that long
It's hard to imagine, it's hard to imagine...
Ooh... (3x)
The terror files have grown, days in our arms
Flood the meadow, play down for yourself
After it happens see how they sap it
It's hard to imagine, it's hard to imagine...
Ooh... (3x)
Things were different then, always different now } (2x)
I tried to explain, somehow... }
Ooh... (4x)
Things were different then, always different now
I tried to explain it, I hope it's worked somehow...
Things were different then, always different now
I tried to explain, yeah, somehow...
Oh... (2x)
I'VE GOT A FEELING (Lennon, McCartney)
I got a feelin', a feelin' deep inside
Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah
I got a feelin', a feelin' I can't hide
Oh no, no, oh no
Yeah, I got a feelin'
Oh please believe me, I'd hate to miss the train
Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Uh huh, and if you leave me, I won't be late again
Oh no, no, oh no
Yeah, I got a feelin'
And I don't understand, how come nobody told me?
Why I'd want to sing like Milli Vanilli
Why, I wonder why, I don't, but nobody looked like you
Oh...
I got a feelin', that keeps me on my toes
Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Uh huh, I got a feelin', I think that everybody knows
Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, I got a feelin'
Everybody had a good year
Though we didn't see the sunshine
Everybody had a wet dream
Making Temple was a good time
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Everybody made a movie
Everybody had one line
Everybody misses Andy
We'll be seein' him in no time
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, ah yeah
Say hello to heaven
Say hello to heaven
Heaven knows...
I got a feelin', I've got a feelin'
I've got a feelin', I don't believe in
Oh, all religion, I've got a feelin'
I got a feelin', you got a feelin'
I got a feelin', I got a feelin' (2x)
Yeah...
SAYING NO
He says to her
He wants it easy
He expects her, to be easy
He wants it, to be, easy
But she says no
But she says no, I don't want to
She says no
She says no, I don't want to
He expects it too, easy...
But she says stop, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop
When she says stop, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop
When she says stop, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop
When she says stop, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop
He wants it, he wants it
So badly he wants, he wants it
But she says no
She says no
She says, 'go to hell if that's all you want me for'
She says no
When she says no, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop
When she says no, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop, yeah...
She did nothing to deserve it
He just wants, he wants to observe it
We sit back, like they taught us
Keep quiet like they taught us
He does nothin' to remove it
He's just as hurt `cause he wants to prove it
We sit back, like they taught us
Keep quiet, just like they taught us
He just wants, he wants to prove it
He's just hurt, she don't remove it
We sit back, like they taught us
Like they taught us, like they taught us...
ALONE
Wide awake and he shakes in a panic
Never woke up alone ever before
Had his woman long as he can remember
Tries to forget, but he can't, he can't
Out of bed and he dreams in the shower
She's standing naked and apologizing
Reaches for her `till his mind becomes blood hot
Woken up to be burned, burned, again
Go it alone
You got it, so it goes
I wanna breathe and I said
I can't take it any other way
On the streets he's walkin', wounded
Doesn't smile for the child at play
Thoughts of suicide and alleviation
Anything to get his heart off of the coals
Does he fly away or just talk about it
Like a seagull born to cry in the wind
All experiences lead to a younger
Alone you will meet the one who lies awake
Go it alone
You got it, so it goes
Try to breathe, but you can't
You can't take it any other way, yeah, yeah...
..Myself, don't talk to me
I can help myself, don't talk to me
I can help myself, myself
I can help myself, don't talk to me (3x)
I can help myself, myself...
..Myself, don't talk to me
I can help myself
Wide awake and he shakes in a panic
Never woke up alone ever before
Had his woman long as he can remember
Tries to forget, but he can't, he can't...
ALREADY IN LOVE
He's not a visit, visiting one
I never slept in Satan's bed
Although he must if he still visits my place
Anybody that you know, he don't wait
Funny how he always seems to plan
Funny how I always want to give in
Tuesdays, Thursday, Sundays, Friday's the same
Sometimes a special guest he don't like to meet
Already...in love... (2x)
Who made, who made up, made up the myth
That we were born to be covered in bliss?
Who set the standard, born to be rich?
Sets fine example, she named him a bitch
Model, role model, roll some models in blood
Get some fleshy skin, so they look like us
I shit and I stink, I'm real, join the club
I stop in darker, i'm already in love
Already...in love... (3x)
Already...oh...oh...
Never shook Satan's hand, look see for yourself
You'd know it if I had, that shit don't come off
I rise and fall, let me take credit for both
Jump off a cliff, don't need your help so back off
I'll never suck, Satan's dick
And then you see it, you know, right from the lips
I'd wait for an angel, but I won't hold my breath
Imagine that, does he think I'm doing O.K.?
Already...in love... (4x)
Already...already...already he's in love...
Oh...oh...
NOT FOR YOU
Restless soul, enjoy your youth
Like Mohammed, it's the truth
I can't escape from, the common rule
Ifyou hate somehing, don't you do it too...too...
Though on my table, seats just two
Got so crowded, I can't make room
Oh where did they come from, storm my room
And you dare say, it belongs to you...to you...
This is not for you (3x)
Never was for you...no...
But when they don't scream, my friend
Don't call, my friend, don't...
All that's sacred, comes from youth
Dedication, not even true
With no power, nothing to do
I still remember, why don't you...don't you...
This is not for you (3x) } (2x)
Never was for you...no... }
LET ME SLEEP
The wind blows on the soles of my feet
Heaven knows nothing of me
I'm lost, nowhere to go
Oh, when I was a kid
Oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me sleep
Its Christmas time
Flowered winds was where I lived
I too burned not those for your sins
Oh, I'm so tired, and cold
Oh, when I was a kid
Oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me sleep
Its Christmas times
Oh...oh, when I was a kid
Oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me sleep
Its Christmas time
Oh...oh, when I, if I was a kid
Oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me dream
It's Christmas time
BABA O'RILEY (Pete Townshend)
Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I give my back into my livin'
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Don't cry, don't raise your eye
It's only teenage wasteland...yeah...
Sally take my hand
We'll travel south cross land
Put out the fire, and don't look past my shoulder
The exodus is here
But I've been warned all year
Let's get together, before we get much older
Teenage wasteland, on the teenage wasteland }
Teenage wasteland, oh yeah, on the teenage wasteland } (2x)
We're all wasted }
THE WHIPPING
Don't need a helmet, got a hard, hard head
Don't need a raincoat, I'm already wet
Don't need a bandage, I've asked too much
Thought after a while, she says, you're what I want
Don't need a hand, there's always arms of theirs
Oh, don't hate me, I'm not meant for that
Why must we trust, all these rusty rails
They don't want no change, we already have
The whipping (4x)
Don't mean to push, but I'm being shoved
Oh, I'm just like you, make me happy, no
I can't believe it, men, they want us to...oh...
Oh, we all got scars, they should have 'em too
Oh, the whipping
The whipping (6x)
Oh, the whipping
HOLD ME
Give me, give me, what I really need (2x)
Hold me, hold me, hold me in my sleep
Give me, give me, what I really need
All our children in there
Doing something swell
Spread out what begins my Hell
There's nothing left in our way
Give me, give me, give me what I need
Oh, give me, oh hold me, oh treat me for today
What I'm talking about (2x)
Is just the kind of things
Of the doubt
Give me, give me, give me...
Give me, give me, give me what I need
Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...
Hold me, hold me, hold me in my sleep
Oh, hold me, hold me, hold me in my sleep
BEAST OF BURDEN (Rolling Stones)
I will be the least of your burdens
My back is broken, my feet are hurtin'
All I want is to drink, please fuckin' leave me alone
I'll never be your beast of learning
I'm a stupid fuck, I don't know nothin' at all
All I want is to drink, maybe with just one other person
Am I hard enough...am I tough enough...
I don't give a fuck
I just wanna live life and be dumb and happy like an American
All I want is for you to make love to me
Hey hey oh...hey oh oh...
Ooh...ooh...
No time like the present to get ripped apart
Got this burnin' desire coming straight from my heart
Suck you dry...suck...suck you dry...suck you dry...
Suck me dry...suck this dry...
