I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Dont know where it goes
But its home to me, and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And Im the only one, and I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a-
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing thats beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Im walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the borderline
Of the edge and where I walk alone
Read between the lines
Whats fucked up, and everythings all right
Check my vital signs
To know Im still alive, and I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a-
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing thats beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Til then I walk alone
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
I walk alone, I walk a-
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And Im the only one, and I walk a-
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing thats beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Til then I walk alone |
Dont wanna be an American idiot
Dont want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind-fuck America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alienation
Where everything isnt meant to be okay
In television dreams of tomorrow
Were not the ones whore meant to follow
For thats enough to argue
Well, maybe Im the faggot, America
Im not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alienation
Where everything isnt meant to be okay
In television dreams of tomorrow
Were not the ones whore meant to follow
For thats enough to argue
Dont wanna be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
Its calling out to idiot America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isnt meant to be okay
In television dreams of tomorrow
Were not the ones whore meant to follow
For thats enough to argue |
Say hey!
Cha!
Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame
The shame, the ones who died without a name
Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called Faith and Misery
And bleed, the company lost the war today
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday!
Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protester has crossed the line
To find the moneys on the other side
Can I get another Amen?
Theres a flag wrapped around a score of men
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday!
Three, four!
The representative from California has the floor.
Sieg Heil to the president Gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass, and
Kill all the fags that dont agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way thats meant for me
Just cause
Just cause
Because were outlaws, yeah!
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on holiday! |
Do you have the time
To listen to me whine
About nothing and everything all at once?
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone, no doubt about it
Sometimes, I give myself the creeps
Sometimes, my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think Im cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Am I just stoned?
And I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says its lack of sex thats bringing me down
And I went to a whore
He said my lifes a bore
So quit my whining cause its bringing her down
Sometimes, I give myself the creeps
Sometimes, my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think Im cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Huh yeah, yeah, yeah
Grasping to control
So I better hold on
Sometimes, I give myself the creeps
Sometimes, my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think Im cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Am I just stoned? |
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my fathers come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are
As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
Like my fathers come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends |
Fuck...
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and dont ask why
Its not a question, but a lesson learned in time
Its something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
So take the photographs and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories, and dead skin on trial
For what its worth, it was worth all the while
Its something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
Its something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
Its something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life... |
Do you know whats worth fighting for
When its not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
Youre in ruins
One, twenty-one guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, twenty-one guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I
When youre at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesnt pass
Nothings ever built to last
Youre in ruins
One, twenty-one guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, twenty-one guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I
Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone?
When its time to live and let die
And you cant get another try
Something inside this heart has died
Youre in ruins
One, twenty-one guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, twenty-one guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
One, twenty-one guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, twenty-one guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I |
Im the son of rage and love
The Jesus of Suburbia
The bible of none of the above
On a steady diet of
Soda-pop and Ritalin
No one ever died for my sins in Hell
As far as I can tell
Least the ones I got away with
And theres nothing wrong with me
This is how Im supposed to be
In a land of make-believe
That dont believe in me
Get my television fix
Sitting on my crucifix
The living room, or my private womb
While the moms and Brads are away
To fall in love and fall in debt
To alcohol and cigarettes and Mary Jane
To keep me insane
Doing someone elses cocaine
And theres nothing wrong with me
This is how Im supposed to be
In a land of make-believe
That dont believe in me
At the center of the Earth, in the parking lot
Of the 7-Eleven where I was taught
The motto was just a lie
It says home is where your heart is, but what a shame
Cause everyones heart doesnt beat the same
Its beating out of time
City of the dead
At the end of another lost highway
Signs misleading to nowhere
City of the damned
Lost children with dirty faces today
No one really seems to care
I read the graffiti in the bathroom stall
Like the holy scriptures of the shopping mall
And so it seemed to confess
It didnt say much, but it only confirmed
That the center of the Earth is the end of the world
And I could really care less
City of the dead
At the end of another lost highway
Signs misleading to nowhere
City of the damned
Lost children with dirty faces today
No one really seems to care
I dont care if you dont
I dont care if you dont
I dont care if you dont care
I dont care if you dont
I dont care if you dont
I dont care if you dont care
I dont care if you dont
I dont care if you dont
I dont care if you dont care
I dont care if you dont
I dont care if you dont
I dont care if you dont care
I dont care!
Everyones so full of shit
Born and raised by hypocrites
Hearts recycled, but never saved
From the cradles to the grave
We are the kids of war and peace
From Anaheim to the Middle East
We are the stories and disciples of
The Jesus of Suburbia!
Land of make-believe
And it dont believe in me
Land of make-believe
And I dont believe
And I dont care!
I dont care!
I dont care!
I dont care!
I dont care!
Dearly beloved, are you listening?
I cant remember a word that you were saying
Are we demented, or am I disturbed?
The space thats in between insane and insecure
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Oh, therapy, can you please fill the void?
Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed?
Nobodys perfect and I stand accused
For lack of a better word, and thats my best excuse
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
To live and not to breathe
Is to die in tragedy
To run, to run away
To find what you believe
And I leave behind
This hurricane of fucking lies
I lost my faith to this
This town that dont exist
So I run, I run away
To the lights of masochists
And I leave behind
This hurricane of fucking lies
And Ive walked this line
A million and one fucking times
But not this time!
I dont feel any shame, I wont apologize
When there aint nowhere you can go
Running away from pain when youve been victimized
Tales from another broken
Home
Youre leaving
Youre leaving
Youre leaving
Are you leaving home? |
Im having trouble trying to sleep
Im counting sheep, but running out
As time ticks by, still I try
No rest for cross-tops in my mind
On my own, here we go
My eyes feel like theyre gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry, my face is numb
Fucked up and spun out in my room
On my own, here we go
My mind is set on overdrive
The clock is laughing in my face
A crooked spine, my senses dulled
Past the point of delirium
On my own, here we go
My eyes feel like theyre gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry, my face is numb
Fucked up and spun out in my room
On my own, here we go |
This is definitely not the first video to surface of an execution
The blue stash of men, they claimed responsibility for the executions
Described as severely mentally disturbed
It appears to show another hostage executed by the terrorist group
Deserve to be annihilated
I get my kicks, and I wanna start a rager
I wanna dance like Im on the video
I got a fever for the violent behavior
Im sweatin bullets like a modern Romeo
Bang! Bang! Gimme fame!
Shoot me up to entertain
I am a semi-automatic lonely boy
Youre dead! Im well fed!
Give me death or give me head
Daddys little psycho and Mommys little soldier
I testify like a lullaby of memories
Broadcasting live, and its on my radio
I got my photobomb, I got my Vietnam
I love a lie just like anybody else
Bang! Bang! Gimme fame!
Shoot me up to entertain
I am a semi-automatic lonely boy
Youre dead! Im well fed!
Give me death or give me head
Broadcasting from my room and playin with my toys
I wanna be a celebrity martyr
The leading man in my own private drama
Hoorah! Hoorah!
The hero of the hour
Daddys little psycho and Mommys little soldier
I wanna be like the soldiers on the screen
Its my private movie
Oh, baby, baby, this is Viva Vendetta
For this is love, or its World War Zero!
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
I wanna be a celebrity martyr
The leading man in my own private drama
Hoorah! Hoorah!
The hero of the hour
Daddys little psycho and Mommys little soldier
I wanna be a celebrity martyr
The leading man in my own private drama
Hoorah! Hoorah!
The hero of the hour
Daddys little psycho and Mommys little soldier! |
I sit around and watch the tube, but nothings on
I change the channels for an hour or two
Twiddle my thumbs just for a bit
Im sick of all the same old shit
In a house with unlocked doors, and Im fuckin lazy
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
Im so damn bored, Im going blind
And I smell like shit
Peel me off this velcro seat and get me moving
I sure as hell cant do it by myself
Im feeling like a dog in heat
Barred indoors from the summer street
I locked the door to my own cell and I lost the key
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
Im so damn bored, Im going blind
And I smell like shit
I got no motivation
Where is my motivation?
No time for motivation
Smoking my inspiration, huh!
I sit around and watch the phone, but no ones calling
Call me pathetic, call me what you will
My mother says to get a job
But she dont like the one shes got
When masturbations lost its fun, youre fucking lonely
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Take me away to paradise
Im so damn bored, Im going blind
And loneliness has to suffice
Bite my lip and close my eyes
Im tripping away to paradise
Some say quit or Ill go blind
But its just a myth |
Well, I heard you crying loud
All the way across town
Youve been searching for that someone and its me out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself
Well, dont get lonely now
And dry your whining eyes
Im just roamin for the moment, sleazin my backyard, so dont get
So uptight, youve been thinking about ditching me
No time to search the world around
Cause you know where Ill be found
When I come around
Oh, I heard it all before
So dont knock down my door
Im a loser and a user, so I dont need no accuser
To try and slag me down because I know youre right
So go do what you like
Make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your self-doubt means nothing was ever there
You cant go forcing something if its just not right
No time to search the world around
Cause you know where Ill be found
When I come around
No time to search the world around
Cause you know where Ill be found
When I come around
When I come around
When I come around
When I come around |
My heart is beating from me
I am standing all alone
Please call me only
If you are coming home
Waste another year flies by
Waste a night or two
You taught me how to live
In the streets of shame
Where youve lost your dreams in the rain
Theres no signs of hope
The stems and seeds of the last of the dope
Theres a glow of light
The St. Jimmy is the spark in the night
Bearing gifts and trust
A fixture in the city of lust
What the hells your name?
Whats your pleasure and what is your pain?
Do you dream too much?
Do you think what you need is a crutch?
In the crowd of pain
St. Jimmy comes without any shame
He says, Were fucked up, but were not the same
And Mom and Dad are the ones you can blame
Jimmy died today
He blew his brains out into the bay
In the state of mind
Its my own private suicide
Well nobody cares, well nobody cares
Does anyone care if nobody cares?
Well nobody cares, well nobody cares
Does anyone care if nobody cares?
Jesus filling out paperwork now
At the facility on East 12th Street
Hes not listening to a word now
Hes in his own world, and hes daydreaming
Hed rather be doing something else now
Like cigarettes and coffee with the underbelly
His lifes on the line with anxiety now
She had enough, and he had plenty
Somebody get me out of here
Anybody get me out of here
Somebody get me out of here
Get me the fuck right out of here
So far away, I dont wanna stay
Get me out of here right now
I just wanna be free, is there a possibility?
Get me out of here right now
Right!
This life-like dream aint for me!
I fell asleep while watching Spike TV
After ten cups of coffee and youre still not here
Dreaming of a song, but something went wrong
And you cant tell anyone, cause no ones here
Left me here alone
And I shoulda stayed home
After ten cups of coffee Im thinking...
Nobody likes you, everyone left you
Theyre all out without you, havin fun
Everyone left you, nobody likes you
Theyre all out without you, havin fun
Jeez! sigh
I got a rock and roll band, I got a rock and roll life
I got a rock and roll girlfriend and another ex-wife
I got a rock and roll house, I got a rock and roll car
I play the shit out the drums, and I can play the guitar
I got a kid in New York, I got a kid in the Bay
I havent drank or smoked nothin in over twenty-two days
So get off my case, off of my case, off of my case!
Hey!
Here they come, marching down the street
Like a desperation murmur of a heartbeat
Coming back from the edge of town
Underneath their feet
Their time has come, and its goin nowhere
Nobody ever said that life was fair, now
Go-carts and guns are treasures they will bare
In the summer heat
The world is spinning round and round out of control again
The 7-11 to the fear of breaking down
So send my love a letterbomb, and visit me in Hell
Were the ones going...
Home, were coming home again
Home, were coming home again
I started fuckin running as soon as my
Feet touched ground
Were back in the barrio
And to you and me, thats Jingle Town
Thats home, were coming home again
Home, were coming home again
Home, were coming home again
Home, were coming home again
Home, were coming home again
Home, were coming home again
Home, were coming home again
Home, were coming home again
Nobody likes you, everyone left you
Theyre all out without you havin fun |
She, she screams in silence
A sullen riot penetrating through her mind
Waiting for a sign
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control
Are you locked up in a world thats been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed
Im taking heed just for you
She, shes figured out
All her doubts were someone elses point of view
Waking up this time
To smash the silence with the brick of self-control
Are you locked up in a world thats been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed
Im taking heed just for you
Are you locked up in a world thats been planned out for you?
Are you feeling like a social tool without a use?
Scream at me until my ears bleed
Im taking heed just for you |
Thought I ran into you down on the street
Then it turned out to only be a dream
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face, but I cant recall the name
Now I wonder how Whatsername has been
Seems that she disappeared without a trace
Did she ever marry ol Whatshisface?
I made a point to burn all of the photographs
She went away and then I took a different path
I remember the face, but I cant recall the name
Now I wonder how Whatsername has been
Remember, whatever
It seems like forever ago
Remember, whatever
It seems like forever ago
The regrets are useless in my mind
Shes in my head, I must confess
The regrets are useless in my mind
Shes in my head, so long ago
Go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go, go
And in the darkest night
If my memory serves me right
Ill never turn back time
Forgetting you, but not the time |
Starry nights, city lights coming down over me
Skyscrapers and stargazers in my head
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
This dirty town was burning down in my dreams
Lost and found, city-bound in my dreams
And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
Forget me nots, second thoughts live in isolation
Heads or tails, fairytales in my mind
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
The rage and love, the story of my life
The Jesus of Suburbia is a lie
And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
And screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown |
Nobody likes you, everyone left you
Theyre all out without you, having fun
Where have all the bastards gone?
The underbelly stacks up ten high
The dummy failed the crash test
Collecting unemployment checks
A flunky only along for the ride
Where have all the riots gone
As the citys motto gets pulverized?
Whats in love is now in debt
On your birth certificate
So strike the fucking match to light this fuse
The town bishops an extortionist
And he dont even know that you exist
Standing still when its do or die
You better run for your fucking life
Its not over til youre underground
Its not over before its too late
This citys burning, its not my burden
Its not over before its too late
There is nothing left to analyze
Where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself?
And where will we all go when its too late?
And dont look back
Youre not the Jesus of Suburbia
The St. Jimmy is a figment of
Your fathers rage and your mothers love
Made me the idiot America
Its not over til youre underground
Its not over before its too late
This citys burning, its not my burden
Its not over before its too late
Well, she said, I cant take this place
Im leaving it behind
Well, she said, I cant take this town
Im leaving you tonight |
I woke up to a message of love
Choking up on the smoke from above
Im obsessed with the poison and us
What a mess cause theres no one to trust
Huh-uh, come on, honey
Huh-uh, count your money
Huh-uh, whats so funny?
Theres a riot living inside of us
I got paranoia, baby
And its so hysterical

Looking for a miracle
Huh-uh, come on, honey
Lyin in a bed of blood and money
Huh-uh, whats so funny?
We are rivals in the riot inside us
Uh-huh, yeah
Im impressed with the presence of none
Im possessed from the heat of the sun
Hurry up cause Im making a fuss
Fingers up cause theres no one to trust
Huh-uh, come on, honey
Huh-uh, count your money
Huh-uh, whats so funny?
Theres a riot living inside of us
I got paranoia, baby

Uh-huh, yeah |
Dear mother, can you hear me whining?
Its been three whole weeks since that I have left your home
This sudden fear has left me tremblin
Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
And Im feeling so alone
Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slums, some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise
A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own
It makes me wonder why Im still here
For some strange reason its now feeling like my home
And Im never gonna go
Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slums, some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise
Dear mother, can you hear me laughing?
Its been six whole months since that I have left your home
It makes me wonder why Im still here
For some strange reason its now feeling like my home
And Im never gonna go
Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slums, some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to paradise
Oh, paradise |
St. Jimmys comin down across the alleyway
Up on the boulevard like a zip gun on parade
Lights on the silhouette, hes insubordinate
Coming at you on the count of one, two
One, two, three, four!
My name is Jimmy, and you better not wear it out
Suicide commando that your momma talked about
King of the forty thieves, and Im here to represent
The needle in the vein of the establishment
Im the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal
Cigarettes and ramen and a little bag of dope
I am the son of a bitch and Edgar Allan Poe
Raised in the city in the halo of lights
Product of war and fear that weve been victimized
Im the patron saint of the denial
With an angel face and a taste for suicidal
Are you talking to me?
Ill give you something to cry about
Shh! Shh! Shh! St. Jimmy!
My name is St. Jimmy, Im a son of a gun
Im the one thats from the way outside, now
A teenage assassin executing some fun
In the cult of the life of crime, now
I really hate to say it, but I told you so
So shut your mouth before I shoot you down, ol boy
Welcome to the club and give me some blood
Im the resident leader of the lost and found
Its comedy and tragedy
Its St. Jimmy, and thats my name
And dont wear it out! |
Take away the sensation inside
Bittersweet migraine in my head
Its like a throbbing toothache of the mind
I cant take this feeling anymore
Drain the pressure from the swelling
This sensations overwhelming
Give me a long kiss goodnight
And everythingll be alright
Tell me that I wont feel a thing
So give me Novacaine
Out of body and out of mind
Kiss the demons out of my dreams
I get the funny feeling thats alright
Jimmy says its better than here
Ill tell you why
Drain the pressure from the swelling
This sensations overwhelming
Give me a long kiss goodnight
And everythingll be alright
Tell me that I wont feel a thing
So give me Novacaine
Oh, Novacaine
Drain the pressure from the swelling
This sensations overwhelming
Give me a long kiss goodnight
And everythingll be alright
Tell me, Jimmy, I wont feel a thing
So give me Novacaine |
Im like a child looking off in the horizon
Im like an ambulance thats turning on the sirens
Oh-oh-oh, Im still alive
Im like a soldier coming home for the first time
I dodged a bullet and I walked across a landmine
Oh-oh-oh, Im still alive
Am I bleeding?
Am I bleeding from the storm?
Just shine a light into the wreckage
So far away, away
Cause Im still breathing
Cause Im still breathing on my own
My heads above the rain and roses
Making my way away
Cause Im still breathing
Cause Im still breathing on my own
My heads above the rain and roses
Making my way away, my way to you
Im like a junkie tying off for the last time
Im like a loser thats betting on his last dime
Oh-oh-oh, Im still alive
Im like a son that was raised without a father
Im like a mother barely keeping it together
Oh-oh-oh, Im still alive
Am I bleeding?
Am I bleeding from the storm?
Just shine a light into the wreckage
So far away, away
Cause Im still breathing
Cause Im still breathing on my own
My heads above the rain and roses
Making my way away
Cause Im still breathing
Cause Im still breathing on my own
My heads above the rain and roses
Making my way away, away
As I walked out on the ledge
Are you scared to death to live?
And Ive been running all my life
Just to find a home thats for the restless
And the truth thats in the message
Making my way away, away
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh
Cause Im still breathing
Cause Im still breathing on my own
My heads above the rain and roses
Making my way away
Cause Im still breathing
Cause Im still breathing on my own
My heads above the rain and roses
Making my way away
Cause Im still breathing
Cause Im still breathing on my own
My heads above the rain and roses
Making my way away, my way to you |
Born into Nixon, I was raised in hell
A welfare child where the teamsters dwelled
The last one born, and the first one to run
My town was blind from refinery sun
My generation is zero
I never made it as a working class hero
21st century breakdown
I once was lost, but never was found
I think Im losing whats left of my mind
To the 20th century deadline
I was made of poison and blood
Condemnation is what I understood
Video games through the towers fall
Homeland security could kill us all
My generation is zero
I never made it as a working class hero
21st century breakdown
I once was lost, but never was found
I think Im losing whats left of my mind
To the 20th century deadline
We are the class of, the class of 13
Born in the era of humility
We are the desperate in the decline
Raised by the bastards of 1969
My name is no one, the long lost son
Born on the 4th of July
Raised through the era of heroes and cons
That left me for dead or alive
I am a nation, a worker of pride
My debt to the status quo
The scars on my hands and a means to an end
Its all that I have to show
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
I swallowed my pride and I choked on my faith
Ive given my heart and my soul
Ive broken my fingers and lied through my teeth
The pillar of damage control
Ive been to the edge and Ive thrown the bouquet
Of flowers left over the grave
I sat in the waiting room wasting my time
And waiting for judgement day
I praise liberty
The freedom to obey
Its the song that strangles me
Well, dont cross the line...
Oh, dream, America, dream
I cant even sleep from the lights early dawn
Oh, scream, America, scream
Believe what you see from heroes and cons... |
Seventeen, and strung out on confusion
Trapped inside a role of disillusion
Ive found out what it takes to be a man
Well, Mom and Dadll never understand
Secrets collecting dust, but never forget
Skeletons come to life in my closet
Ive found out what it takes to be a man
Well, Mom and Dadll never understand
Whats happening to me
Oh-oh-oh
Seventeen, and coming clean for the first time
I finally figured out myself for the first time
Ive found out what it takes to be a man
Well, Mom and Dadll never understand
Whats happening to me |
Girl, Im so high right now
I dont think that Ill ever come down
Cause this feels better to me
Than anybody reality
Im floating in the air like Im weightless
Flying on a cocaine spaceship
Girl, Im so high right now
I dont think that Ill ever come down
I dont know what I took
All I know is that Im hooked
Twenty-four hours got me seeing blue dragons
Molly and the Henny got me speaking different language
Thinking bout the world now my mind, no tragic
Thinking bout the world now my mind, no tragic
Girl, Im so high right now
I dont think that Ill ever come down
Cause this feels better to me
Than anybody reality
Im floating in the air like Im weightless
Flying on a cocaine spaceship
Girl, Im so high right now
I dont think that Ill ever come down
I board a private plane, thats the only flight Ive ever known
I roll up to the face, sometimes I dont share, I smoke alone
Khalifa, man, rollin them pounds up
And one day, Im smokin the ounce up
In the Burgh, we smoke the best, KK smoke all in my chest
I dont go on missions, I dont ask permission
I keep it at my crib, come smoke some pack with Wiz
Some fools be sober but Im higher than a eagle is
And I aint worried bout the police, cause its legal, bitch
And its so strong that you can smell it when Im passin through
And if I cant smoke, then these edibles will have to do
Girl, Im so high right now
I dont think that Ill ever come down
Cause this feels better to me
Than anybody reality
Im floating in the air like Im weightless
Flying on a cocaine spaceship
Girl, Im so high right now
I dont think that Ill ever come down
Yeah, I dont think Ill ever come down
Yeah, I dont think Ill ever come down, yeah
Yeah, I dont think Ill ever come down
I dont think Ill ever come down |
Shes a rebel, shes a saint
Shes the salt of the earth, and shes dangerous
Shes a rebel, vigilante
Missing link on the brink of destruction
From Chicago to Toronto
Shes the one that they call ol Whatsername
Shes a symbol of resistance
And shes holding on my heart like a hand grenade
Is she dreaming what Im thinking?
Is she the mother of all bombs? Gonna detonate
Is she trouble like Im trouble?
Make it a double twist of fate or a melody that
She sings the revolution
The dawning of our lives
She brings this liberation
That I just cant define
Well, nothing comes to mind
She sings the revolution
The dawning of our lives
She brings this liberation
That I just cant define
Well, nothing comes to mind
Shes a rebel, shes a saint
Shes the salt of the earth, and shes dangerous
Shes a rebel, vigilante
Missing link on the brink of destruction
Shes a rebel, shes a saint
Shes the salt of the earth, and shes dangerous
Shes a rebel, vigilante
Missing link on the brink of destruction
Shes a rebel, shes a rebel
Shes a rebel, and shes dangerous
Shes a rebel, shes a rebel
Shes a rebel, and shes dangerous |
I woke up to a bitter storm
And Noahs Ark came washed up on the shore
The riot gear has lined the dawn
Like dogs that shit on your neighbors lawn
Let freedom ring with all the crazies on parade
Let them eat poison and it tastes like lemonade
Back in the USA
For a small town serenade
With fireworks on display
Tonight, its a heros welcome home
And theres no place else to go
And Im taking it to the grave
Back in the USA
The saddest story ever told
Is feeling safe in our suburban homes
The soldiers of an endless war
And every church can have a liquor store
Let freedom ring with all the crazies on parade
Let them eat poison and it tastes like lemonade
Back in the USA
For a small town serenade
With fireworks on display
Tonight, its a heros welcome home
And theres no place else to go
And Im taking it to the grave
Back in the USA |
Little girl, little girl, why are you cryin?
Inside your restless soul, your heart is dyin
Little one, little one, your soul is purgin
Of love and razor blades, your blood is surgin
Run away from the river to the street
And find yourself with your face in the gutter
Youre a stray for the Salvation Army
There is no place like home when you got no place to go
Little girl, little girl, your life is callin
The charlatans and saints of your abandon
Little one, little one, the sky is fallin
Your lifeboat of deception is now sailin
In the wake All the way, no rhyme or reason
Your bloodshot eyes will show your heart of treason
Little girl, little girl, you dirty liar
Youre just a junkie preaching to the choir
Run away from the river to the street
And find yourself with your face in the gutter
Youre a stray for the Salvation Army
There is no place like home when you got no place to go
The traces of blood always follow you home
Like the mascara tears from your getaway
Youre walking with blisters and running with shears
So unholy, sister of grace
Run away from the river to the street
And find yourself with your face in the gutter
Youre a stray from the Salvation Army
There is no place like home... |
I wanna be the minority
I dont need your authority
Down with the moral majority
Cause I wanna be the minority
I pledge allegiance to the underworld
One nation under dog, there of which I stand alone
A face in the crowd unsung against the mold
Without a doubt, singled out, the only way I know
Cause I wanna be the minority
I dont need your authority
Down with the moral majority
Cause I wanna be the minority
Stepped out of the line
Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time
To my own beat, now
The only way I know
One light, one mind flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
For crying out loud, she screamed unto me
A free-for-all, fuck em all, you are your own sight
Cause I wanna be the minority
I dont need your authority
Down with the moral majority
Cause I wanna be the minority
One light, one mind, flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
For crying out loud, she screamed unto me
A free-for-all, fuck em all, you are your own sight
Cause I wanna be the minority
I dont need your authority
Down with the moral majority
Cause I wanna be the minority
I wanna be the minority
I wanna be the minority
I wanna be the minority
I wanna be the minority |
I declare I dont care no more
Im burning up and out and growing bored
In my smoked out boring room
My hair is shagging in my eyes
Dragging my feet to hit the street tonight
Drive along these shit town lights
Im not growing up, Im just burning out
And I stepped in line to walk amongst the dead
Oh, apathy has rained on me
And now Im feeling like a soggy dream
So close to drowning, but I dont mind
Ill live inside this mental cave
Throw my emotions in the grave
And hell, who needs them anyway?
Im not growing up, Im just burning out
And I stepped in line to walk amongst the dead
Im not growing up, Im just burning out
And I stepped in line to walk amongst the dead, dead
Im not growing up, Im just burning out
And I stepped in line to walk amongst the dead
Im not growing up, Im just burning out
And I stepped in line to walk amongst the dead, dead |

Do you know the enemy? Do you know your enemy?

Violence is an energy against the enemy
Well, violence is an energy, rah-eh!
Bringing on the fury, the choir infantry
Revolt against the honor to obey
Overthrow the effigy, the vast majority
While burning down the foreman of control
And silence is an enemy against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul
Do you know the enemy? Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh!
Do you know the enemy? Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh!
The insurgency will rise
When the bloods been sacrificed
Dont be blinded by the lies in your eyes, say!
Oh-eh-oh-eh!
Oh-eh-oh-eh!
Well, violence is an energy
Well, from here to eternity
Well, violence is an energy
Well, silence is the enemy, so gimme, gimme revolution!

Overthrow the effigy, the vast majority
While burning down the foreman of control
Silence is an enemy, against your urgency
So rally up the demons of your soul! |
Hey, Gloria, are you standing close to the edge?
Look out to the setting sun, the brink of your vision
Eternal youth is a landscape of a lie
The cracks of my skin can prove, as the years will testify
Say your prayers and light a fire, were gonna start a war
Your slogans a gun for hire, its what we waited for...
Hey, Gloria, this is why were on the edge
The fight of our lifes been drawn to this undying love
Gloria! ¡Viva la Gloria!
You blast your name in graffiti on the walls
Falling in broken glass thats slashing through your spirit
I can hear it like a jilted crowd!
Gloria! Where are you, Gloria?
You found a home in all your scars and ammunition
You made your bed in salad days amongst the ruins
Ashes to ashes of our youth!
She smashed her knuckles into winter
As autumns wind fades into black
She is the saint of all the sinners
The one thats fallen through the cracks
So dont put away your burning light!
Gloria! Where are you, Gloria?
Dont lose your faith to your lost naiveté
Weather the storm, and dont look back on last November
When your banners were burning down!
Gloria! ¡Viva la Gloria!
Send me your amnesty down to the broken hearted
Bring us the season that we always will remember
Dont let the bonfires go out!
So, Gloria, send out your message of
The light that shadows in the night
Gloria, wheres your undying love?
Tell me the story of your life, your life! |

Cant quite tell just what it means to me
Keep out of reach of children, dont you talk to strangers
Get your philosophy from a bumper sticker
Warning: Live without warning

Without, alright
Better homes and safety-sealed communities

Caution: Police line, you better not cross
Is the cop or am I the one thats really dangerous?
Sanitation, expiration date, question everything
Or shut up and be a victim of authority

Shes an extraordinary girl
In an ordinary world
And she cant seem to get away
He lacks the courage in his mind
Like a child left behind
Like a pet left in the rain
Shes all alone again
Wiping the tears from her eyes
Some days he feels like dying
She gets so sick of crying
She sees the mirror of herself
An image she wants to sell
To anyone willing to buy
He steals the image in her kiss
From her hearts apocalypse
From the one called Whatsername
Shes all alone again
Wiping the tears from her eyes
Some days he feels like dying
She gets so sick of crying
Shes all alone again
Wiping the tears from her eyes
Some days he feels like dying
Some days its not worth trying
Now that they both are finding
She gets so sick of crying
Shes an extraordinary girl
An extraordinary girl
An extraordinary girl
An extraordinary girl |
Scream! With your hands up in the sky
Like you wanna testify
For the life thats been deleted
Scream! Like a rebels lullaby
Under the stars and stripes
For the lost souls that were cheated
We will be seen, but not be heard
Revolution Radio
Operation No Control
And the headline
My loves bullet proof
Gimme cherry bombs and gasoline
Debutantes in surgery
And the headline
Legalize the truth!
Rage! Like theres tear gas in the crowd
Do you wanna live out loud?
But the air is barely breathing
Rise! Of the slums to the obsolete
The dawn of the new airwaves
For the anti-social media
Revolution Radio
Operation No Control
And the headline
My loves bullet proof
Gimme cherry bombs and gasoline
Debutantes in surgery
And the headline
Legalize the truth!
We will be seen, but not be heard
We are the songs of the disturbed

Hey, mister, where you headed?
Are you in a hurry?
Need a lift to happy hour? Say oh no
Do you brake for distilled spirits?
I need a break as well
The well that inebriates the guilt
One, two, one, two, three, four!
Cold turkeys getting stale
Tonight, Im eating crow
Fermented salmonella, poison oak, no
Theres a drought at the fountain of youth
And Im dehydrated
My tongue is swelling up, I say
One, two, one, two, three, four!
Troubled times
You know I cannot lie
Im off the wagon, and Im hitchin a ride
Theres a drought at the fountain of youth
And Im dehydrated
My tongue is swelling up, I say... Shit!
Troubled times
You know I cannot lie
Im off the wagon, and Im hitchin a ride
Hitchin a ride
Hitchin a ride
Hitchin a ride
Hitchin a ride
Hitchin a ride
Hitchin a ride
Hitchin a ride |
Somebody keep my balance, I think Im falling off
Into a state of regression
The expiration date rapidly coming up
Its leaving me behind to rank
Always move forward
Going straight wont get you nowhere
There is no progress, evolution killed it all
I found my place in nowhere
Im taking one step sideways, leading with my crutch
Got a fucked up equilibrium
Count down from 9 to 5, hooray, were gonna die
Blessed into our distinction
Always move forward
Going straight wont get you nowhere
There is no progress, evolution killed it all
I found my place in nowhere
Always move forward
Going straight wont get you nowhere
There is no progress, evolution killed it all
I found my place in nowhere
In nowhere, in nowhere |
Sing us the song of the century
It sings like American eulogy
The dawn of my love and conspiracy
Of forgotten hope and the class of 13
Tell me a story into that goodnight
Sing us a song for me...
Hysteria
Mass hysteria
Mass hysteria
Mass hysteria
Red alert is the color of panic
Elevated to the point of static
Beating into the hearts of the fanatics
And the neighborhoods a loaded gun
Idle thought leads to full-throttle screaming
And the wealth is asphyxiating
Mass confusion is all the new rage
And its creating a feeding ground for the bottom feeders of
Hysteria
Mass hysteria
Mass hysteria
Mass hysteria
True sounds of maniacal laughter
And the deaf mutes misleading the choir
The punchline is a natural disaster
And its sung by the unemployed
Fight fire with a riot
The class war is hanging on a wire
Because the martyr is a compulsive liar
When he said, Its just a bunch of niggers throwing gas into the...
Hysteria
Mass hysteria
Mass hysteria
Mass hysteria
Theres a disturbance on the oceanside
They tapped into the reserve
The static response is so unclear now
Mayday, this is not a test
As the neighborhood burns
America is falling
Vigilantes warning ya
Calling Christian and Gloria!
I dont wanna live in the modern world
I dont wanna live in the modern world
I dont wanna live in the modern world
I dont wanna live in the modern world
Well, Im the class of 13 in the era of dissent
A hostage of the soul on a strike to pay the rent
The last of the rebels without a common ground
Im gonna light a fire into the underground, well
I dont wanna live in the modern world
I dont wanna live in the modern world
I dont wanna live in the modern world
I dont wanna live in the modern world
I am a nation without bureaucratic ties
Deny the allegation as its written, fucking lies
Well, I wanna take a ride to the great divide
Beyond the up to date and the neo-gentrified
The high definition for the low resident
Where the value of your mind is not held in contempt
I can hear the sound of a beating heart
That bleeds beyond a system that is falling apart
With money to burn on a minimum wage
Well, I dont give a shit about the modern age
I dont wanna live in the modern world
I dont wanna live in the modern world
I dont wanna live in the modern world
I dont wanna live in the modern world
I dont wanna live in the modern world
I dont wanna live in the modern world
I dont wanna live in the modern world
I dont wanna live in the modern world
I dont wanna live in the modern world
I dont wanna live in the modern world
I dont wanna live in the modern world
I dont wanna live in the modern world
I dont wanna live in the modern world
I dont wanna live in the modern world... |

Raise your hands now to testify
Your confession will be crucified
Youre a sacrificial suicide
Like a dog thats been sodomized, well
All the white boys
And the black girls
Youre the soldiers
Of the new world
Put your faith in a miracle
And its non-denominational
Join the choir, well be singing
In the church of wishful thinking
A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the faith fanatics
Oh, bless me, Lord, for I have sinned
Its been a lifetime since I last confessed
I threw my crutches in the river of a shadow of doubt
And Ill be dressed up in my Sunday best
Say a prayer for the family
Drop a coin for humanity
Aint this uniform so flattering?
I never asked you a goddamn thing!
A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the faith fanatics
Dont test me
Second-guess me
Protest me
You will disappear
I want to know whos allowed to breed
All the dogs who never learned to read
The missionary politicians
And the cops of the new religion!
A fire burns today
Of blasphemy and genocide
The sirens of decay
Will infiltrate the inside
Yeah! |
I text a postcard sent to you
Did it go through?
Sending all my love to you
You are the moonlight of my life
Every night
Giving all my love to you
My beating heart belongs to you
I walked for miles til I found you
Im here to honor you
If I lose everything in the fire
Im sending all my love to you
With every breath that I am worth
Here on Earth
Im sending all my love to you
So if you dare to second-guess
You can rest
Assured that all my loves for you
My beating heart belongs to you
I walked for miles til I found you
Im here to honor you
If I lose everything in the fire
Im sending all my love to you
My beating heart belongs to you
I walked for miles til I found you
Im here to honor you
If I lose everything in the fire
Did I ever make it through? |
Somethings on my mind
Its been for quite some time
This time, Im on to you
So wheres the other face?
The face I heard before
Your head trips boring me
Lets nuke the bridge we torched two thousand times before
This time well blast it all to hell
Ive had this burning in my guts now for so long
My bellys aching now to say
Stuck down in a rut
Of dis-logic and smut
A side of you, well hid
When its all said and done
Its real and its been fun
But was it all real fun?
Lets nuke the bridge we torched two thousand times before
This time well blast it all to hell
Ive had this burning in my guts now for so long
My bellys aching now to say
Youre just a fuck
I cant explain it cause I think you suck
Im taking pride
In telling you to fuck off and die
Ive had this burning in my guts now for so long
My bellys aching now to say
Im taking pleasure in announcing this to you
So listen up, cause you might miss
Youre just a fuck
I cant explain it cause I think you suck
Im taking pride
In telling you to fuck off and die
Good night... |
My name is Billie, and Im freaking out
I thought, therefore I was, well I cant really figure it out
I sit alone with my thoughts and prayers
Scream out my memories as if I was never there
Standing at the edge of the world
Is giving me the chills
But looking down the edge of the world
Im lost in a tango, its freaking me out
Burning lights and blackouts
From the edge of the world!
From the edge of the world!
Im like a punk rocker on Labor Day
How the hell did I work so hard to be born this way?
I never learned to read or write so well
But I can play the guitar until it hurts like hell
Standing at the edge of the world
Is giving me the chills
But looking down the edge of the world
Im lost in a tango, its freaking me out
Burning lights and blackouts
From the edge of the world!
From the edge of the world!
If this is what you call the good life
I want a better way to die
If this is what you call the good life
I want a better way to die
Oh, I dont want to think about tomorrow
Dont want to think about the old
It doesnt matter anyway
Oh, I, I wanna start a revolution
I wanna hear it on my radio
Ill put it off another day
I want a new conspiracy
And the silence of a thousand cries
So hurry up, I want a better way to die
Im running late to somewhere now
That I dont want to be
Where the future and promises
Aint what it used to be
I never wanted to compromise
Or bargain with my soul
How did a life on the wild side
Ever get so full?
Somewhere now
Somewhere now
Somewhere now
Somewhere now
Oh, I
Dont want to think about tomorrow
Dont want to think about the old
It doesnt matter anyway
Oh, I
I wanna start a revolution
I wanna hear it on my radio
Ill put it off another day
Oh, I
Dont want to think about tomorrow
Dont want to think about the old
It doesnt matter anyway
Oh, I
I wanna start a revolution
I wanna hear it on my radio
Ill put it off another day

Wow! Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Walking after dark
In the New York City park
Your thoughts are so unholy in the holiest of holes
Onward Christian soldiers filled with jive and mind-control
The blood left on the dance floor, running, running red
The bullet that you asked for killing you to death unless you—
Someone kill the DJ
Someone kill the DJ
Someone kill the DJ
Voices in my head are saying, Shoot that fucker down!
We are the vultures, the dirtiest kind
The culture wars in your heart and your mind
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Walking after dark
In the New York City park
Ooh, beer goggles left in the club, a pocket full of pills
Sodom and Gomorrah in the century of thrills
The blood left on the dance floor, running, running red
The bullet that you asked for killing you to death unless you—
Someone kill the DJ
Someone kill the DJ
Someone kill the DJ
Hold him underwater til that motherfucker drowns
We are the vultures, the dirtiest kind
The culture wars in your heart and your mind
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Someones gonna get you, boy
Shoot that fucker down!
Someone kill the DJ

Takin all you down with me
Explosives duct taped to my spine
Nothings gonna change my mind
I wont listen to anyones last words
Theres nothing left for you to say
Soon youll be dead anyway
Well, no one here is getting out alive
This time Ive really lost my mind and I dont care
So close your eyes and kiss yourself goodbye
And think about the times weve spent and what theyve meant
To me its nothin
To me its nothin
To me its nothin
To me its nothin
Im losin all my happiness
The happiness you pinned on me
A loneliness still comforts me
My anger dwells inside of me
Im taking it all out on you
And all the shit you put me through
Well, no one here is getting out alive
This time Ive really lost my mind and I dont care
So close your eyes and kiss yourself goodbye
And think about the times weve spent and what theyve meant
To me its nothin
To me its nothin
To me its nothin
To me its nothin
Do you ever think back to another time?
Does it bring you so down that you thought you lost your mind?
Do you ever want to lead a long trail of destruction
And mow down any bullshit that confronts you?
Do you ever build up all the small things in your head
To make one problem that adds up to nothin?
To me its nothin
To me its nothin
To me its nothin |
It started at the age of four
My mother went to the grocery store
Went sneaking through her bedroom door
To find something in a size four

Satisfaction guaranteed to you
Whats the consolation prize?
Economy sized dreams of hope

To tell the difference between thieves and crooks
Lesson learned to me and you

Dont stop, dont stop
Dont stop when the red lights flash
Oh ride, free ride

Far away, far away, waste away tonight
Tonight, my hearts on the loose
Oh lights and action

Oh losers and choosers
Wont you please hold on to my life?
Oh hours, and hours

Old story, same old story
Wont you see the light of day?
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
Im wearing my heart on a noose
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
Tonight, my hearts on the loose
Talk myself out of feeling
Talk my way out of control
Talk myself out of falling in love
Falling in love with you, say!
Oh love, oh love
Wont you rain on me tonight?
Oh ride, free ride
Wont you take me close to you?
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
Im wearing my heart on a noose
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
Tonight, my hearts on the loose
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
Im wearing my heart on a noose
Far away, far away, waste away tonight
Tonight, my hearts on the loose
Tonight, my hearts on the loose
Tonight, my hearts on the loose |
Where can I find the city of shining light
In an ordinary world?
How can I leave a buried treasure behind
In an ordinary world?
The days into years roll by
Its where that I live until I die
Ordinary world
Mmm, hmm-hmm
What would you wish if you saw a shooting star
In an ordinary world?
Id walk to the end of the earth and afar
In an ordinary world
Baby, I dont have much
But what we have is more than enough
Ordinary world
Mmm, hmm-hmm
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Where can I find the city of shining light
In an ordinary world?
How can I leave a buried treasure behind
In an ordinary world?
Baby, I dont have much
But what we have is more than enough
Ordinary world
Mmm, hmm-hmm
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh |
Oh-oh, I love you, oh-oh, I do
I got a sentimental illness for you
Please dont go away, oh yeah
I was a high school atom bomb
Goin off on the weekends
Smokin dope and mowing lawns
And I hated all the new trends
Me and my friends sang, Woah-ooh-whoa-oh-oh
Heres to the middle of the road
At least its better than here
Looking for a cause
Well all I got was Santa Claus
Im hanging on a dream thats too dumb to die
I feel like a cello
Lost somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
Too scared to dream, but too dumb to die
My daddy always was on strike
Going off with the teamsters
He said that Everythingll be alright
Not every Sunday can be Easter
The picket line screamed, Woah-ooh-whoa-oh-oh!
Dont cross, dont cross the line because
Youll be a scab, not a martyr!
Looking for a cause
Well all I got was camouflage
Im hanging on a dream thats too dumb to die
I feel like a cello
Lost somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
Too scared to dream, but too dumb to...
Haha... Hehe... Yeah... Hey!
Looking for a cause
Well all I got was camouflage
Im hanging on a dream thats too dumb to die
I feel like a cello
Lost somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
Too scared to dream, but too dumb to die |
Im all busted up
Broken bones and nasty cuts
Accidents will happen
But this time I cant get up
She comes to check on me
Making sure Im on my knees
After all, shes the one
Who put me in this state
Is she ultra-violent? Is she disturbed?
I better tell her that I love her
Before she does it all over again
Oh God, shes killing me!
For now, Ill lie around
Hell, thats all I can really do
She takes good care of me
Just keep saying my love is true
Is she ultra-violent? Is she disturbed?
I better tell her that I love her
Before she does it all over again
Oh God, shes killing me!
Looking out my window for someone thats passing by
No one knows Im locked in here, all I do is cry
For now, Ill lie around
Hell, thats all I can really do
She takes good care of me
Just keep saying my love is true |
Im running late to somewhere now
That I dont want to be
Where the future and promises
Aint what it used to be
I never wanted to compromise
Or bargain with my soul
How did a life on the wild side
Ever get so dull?
All grown up and medicated
Im high on cellular waves
I put the riot in patriot
And we all die in threes
I got a seat in the middle of the road
Im gonna take my time
I shop online so I can vote
At the speed of life
Im like a drone way up in the sky
Im a shooting star
Theres a soldier thats freaking out
P.S. This is war
All grown up and medicated
Im high on cellular waves
I put the riot in patriot
And we all die in threes
All we want is money and guns
A new catastrophe
Here comes nothing, theres nothing to lose
Its a small price we pay
When we all die in threes
Somewhere now
Somewhere now
Somewhere now!
Somewhere now
Somewhere now
Somewhere now!
Hallelujah, I found my soul
Under the sofa pillows
Congratulations, I found myself
Somewhere now
Somewhere now, somewhere now |
band members speaking and laughing
One, two, three...
I was alone
I was all by myself
No one was looking
I was thinking of you
Oh yeah, did I mention
I was all by myself?
All by myself
All by myself
All by myself...
I went to your house
But no one was there
I went in your room
I was all by myself
You and me had
Such wonderful times
When Im all by myself
All by myself |
I dont know you, but I think I hate you
Youre the reason for my misery
Strange how youve become my biggest enemy
And Ive never even seen your face
Well maybe its just jealousy
Mixing up with a violent mind
A circumstance that doesnt make much sense
Or maybe Im just dumb
Youre the cloud hanging out over my head
And hail comes crashing down, welting my face
Magic man, egocentric plastic man
Yet you still got one over on me
Well maybe its just jealousy
Mixing up with a violent mind
A circumstance that doesnt make much sense
Or maybe Im just dumb
Im a chump! |
Ah
Ooh
Kick the dog when the whistle blows
Well, youre a liar
Feed the creeps with a stick and bone
Youre a liar
Baby got the hyperbole
Baby got the hyperbole
Kick the dog when the whistle blows
Well, youre a liar
Rip it up on retribution
Turn it up sideways
Ready, aim, fire, fire, ready, aim
Ready, aim, fire, fire, ready, aim
Stick a hammer in your mouth
Youre a liar
Knock your teeth out to the ground
Well, youre a liar
Baby got the hyperbole
Baby got the hyperbole
Knock your teeth out to the ground
Well, youre a liar
Rip it up on retribution
Turn it up sideways
Ready, aim, fire, fire, ready, aim
Ready, aim, fire, fire, ready, aim
Ready, aim, fire, fire, ready, aim
Ready, aim, fire, fire, ready, aim |
Nice guys finish last
Youre running out of gas
Your sympathy will get you left behind
Sometimes youre at your best
When you feel the worst
Do you feel washed up like piss going down the drain?
Pressure cooker pick my brain and tell me Im insane
Im so fucking happy I could cry
Every joke can have its truth, but now the jokes on you
I never knew you were such a funny guy
Oh, nice guys finish last
When you run out of gas
Dont pat yourself on the back
You might break your spine
Living on command
Youre shaking lots of hands
Youre kissing up and bleeding all your trust
Taking what you need
Bite the hand that feeds
You lose your memory and you got no shame
Pressure cooker pick my brain and tell me Im insane
Im so fucking happy I could cry
Every joke can have its truth, but now the jokes on you
I never knew you were such a funny guy
Oh, nice guys finish last
Dont pat yourself on the back
You might break your spine
Oh, nice guys finish last
Dont pat yourself on the back
You might break your spine, mhm!
Oh, nice guys finish last
Dont pat yourself on the back
You might break your spine
Oh, nice guys finish last
Dont pat yourself on the back
You might break your spine |
Oh
Kay, I got it
Im in the crowd full of angels and demons
Im looking out for the jingoes and heathens
Nobody move and nobody gonna get hurt
Reach for the sky with your face in the dirt
Everybody is a star
Got my money and Im feeling kinda low
Everybody got a scar
Aint it funny how were running out of hope?
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
I got blood on my hands in my pockets
Thats what you get turning bullets into rockets
I am a kid of a bad education
The shooting star of a lowered expectation
Everybody is a star
Got my money and Im feeling kinda low
Everybody got a scar
Aint it funny how were running out of hope?
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Im just a face in the crowd of spectators
To the sound of the voice of a traitor
Dirty looks and Im looking for a payback
Burning books in a bulletproof backpack
Everybody is a star
Got my money and Im feeling kinda low
Everybody got a scar
Aint it funny how were running out of hope?
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah |
Were living in repetition
Content in the same old shtick again
Now the routines turning to contention
Like a production line going
Over and over and over, roller coaster
Now I cannot speak, Ive lost my voice
Im speechless and redundant
Cause I love yous not enough
Im lost for words
Choreographed and lack of passion
Prototypes of what we were
Went full circle til Im nauseous
Taken for granted, now Ive
Wasted and faked it, ate it, now I hate it
Cause I cannot speak, Ive lost my voice
Im speechless and redundant
Cause I love yous not enough
Im lost for words
Now I cannot speak, Ive lost my voice
Im speechless and redundant
Cause I love yous not enough
Im lost for words
Now I cannot speak, Ive lost my voice
Im speechless and redundant
Cause I love yous not enough
Im lost for words |
Life after youth, faded in twilight
The dawn of a criminal in bloom
First love, first forgiveness, we were delinquents
Freaks of a fading memory
Outlaws, when we were forever young
When we were outlaws
Were outlaws of redemption, baby
Hooligans, we destroyed suburbia
When we were outlaws
Were outlaws of forever
Scars, broken hearts, breaking in cars
Running in the light of the moon
Lost souls, bottle rockets, all that we wanted
Its for our life beyond the stars
Outlaws, when we were forever young
When we were outlaws
Were outlaws of redemption, baby
Hooligans, we destroyed suburbia
When we were outlaws
Were outlaws of forever, baby
Ive got no supervision
Nothing will change my spirits place to roam
I plead my innocence, I plead my innocence
But thats my best defense when you are young
Outlaws, when we were forever young
When we were outlaws
Were outlaws of redemption, baby
Hooligans, we destroyed suburbia
When we were outlaws
Were outlaws of forever
I found a knife by the railroad track
You took a train, and you cant go back
Forever now, forever now, youll roam |
Your rise and fall back up against the wall
What goes around is coming back and haunting you
Its time to quit cause you aint worth the shit
Under my shoes or the piss on the ground
No one loves you and you know it
Dont pretend that you enjoy it or you dont care
Cause now I wouldnt lie
Or tell you all the things you wanna hear
Cause I hate you!
Cause I hate you!
Cause I hate you!
Cause I hate you!
I heard youre sick, sucked on that cancer stick
A throbbing tumor and a radiation high
Shit out of luck and now your time is up
It brings me pleasure just to know youre going to die
No one loves you and you know it
Dont pretend that you enjoy it or you dont care
Cause now I wouldnt lie
Or tell you all the things you wanna hear
Cause I hate you!
Cause I hate you!
Cause I hate you!
Cause I hate you!
Dickhead, fuckface, cock-smoking, motherfucking
Asshole, dirty twat, a waste of semen, hope you die, hey!
Red eye, code blue, Id like to strangle you
And watch your eyes bulge right out of your skull
When you go down headfirst into the ground
Ill stand above you just to piss on your grave
No one loves you and you know it
Dont pretend that you enjoy it or you dont care
Cause now I wouldnt lie
Or tell you all the things you wanna hear
Cause I hate you!
Cause I hate you!
Cause I hate you!
Cause I hate you! |

Shes my little youngblood
Youngblood, youngblood, youngblood

What good is love and peace on Earth
When its exclusive?
Wheres the truth in the written word
If no one reads it?
A new day dawning
Comes without warning
So dont think twice
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
What part of history weve learned
When its repeated?
Some things, well never overcome
If we dont seek it
The world stops turning
Paradise burning
So dont think twice
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We run for cover
Like a skyscrapers falling down
And then I wonder
Like a troubled mind
What good is love and peace on Earth
When its exclusive?
Wheres the truth in the written word
If no one reads it?
A new day dawning
Comes without warning
So dont look twice
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times
We live in troubled times |
Ive been waiting a long time
For this moment to come, Im
Destined for anything at all
Downtown, lights will be shining
On me like a new diamond
Ring out under the midnight hour
Well, no one can touch me now, well
And I cant turn my back, its
Too late, ready or not at all
Well, Im so much closer than
I have ever known... Wake up!
Dawning of a new era
Calling, dont let it catch ya
Falling, ready or not at all
Oh, so close enough to taste it
Almost, I can embrace this
Feeling on the tip of my tongue
Well, Im so much closer than
I have ever known... Wake up!
You better thank your lucky stars!
Say, hey, hey!
Well, Im so much closer than
I have ever known... Wake up!
You better thank your lucky stars!
Say, hey, hey!
Ive been waiting a lifetime
For this moment to come, Im
Destined for anything at all
Dumbstruck, color me stupid
Good luck, youre gonna need it
Where Im going, if I get there at all
Wake up! You better thank your lucky stars! |
Dreaming, I was only dreaming
Of another place and time, where my familys from
Singing, I can hear them singing
When the rain had washed away all these scattered dreams
Dying, everyones reminded
Hearts are washed in misery, drenched in gasoline
Laughter, there is no more laughter
Songs of yesterday now live in the underground...
Life before the lobotomy
Christian sang the eulogy
Signed, My love, a lost memory
From the end of the century
Well, its enough to make you sick
To cast a stone and throw a brick
But when the sky is falling down
You burned your dreams into the ground
Christians lessons what hes been sold
We are normal and self-controlled
Remember to learn to forget
Whiskey shots and cheap cigarettes
Well, Im not stoned, Im just fucked up
I got so high I cant stand up
Well, Im not cursed cause Ive been blessed
Im not in love, cause Im a mess
Like refugees
Were lost like refugees
Like refugees
Were lost like refugees
The brutality of reality
Is the freedom that keeps me from...
Dreaming, I was only dreaming
Of another place and time, where my familys from
Singing, I can hear them singing
When the rain had washed away all these scattered dreams
Dying, everyones reminded
Hearts are washed in misery, drenched in gasoline
Laughter, there is no more laughter
Songs of yesterday now live in the underground... |
Im on a mission, Ive made my decision
Lead a path of self-destruction
A slow progression, killing my complexion
And its rotting out my teeth
Im on a roll, no self-control
Im blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Well, dont know what I want, and thats all that Ive got
And Im picking scabs off my face
Every hour, my blood is turning sour
And my pulse is beating out of time
I found a treasure filled with sick pleasure
And it sits on a thin, white line
Im on a roll, no self-control
Im blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Well, dont know what I want, and thats all that Ive got
And Im picking scabs off my face, say!
Im on a mission, I got no decision
Like a cripple running the rat race
A wish in one hand, shit in the other
And see which one gets filled first
Im on a roll, no self-control
Im blowing off steam with methamphetamine
Well I dont know what I want, and thats all that Ive got
And Im picking scabs off my face, say!
Geek! Stink! Breath! |
One, two, three, four!
Well, Ive got a fever, a non-believer, Im in a state of grace
For I am the Caesar, Im gonna seize the day
Well, call of the banshee, hey hey, hey hey hey hey hey
As God as my witness, the infidels are gonna pay
Well, call the assassin, the orgasm, a spasm of love and hate
For what will divide us? The righteous and the meek
Well, call of the wild, hey hey, hey hey hey hey hey
Well, death to the girl at the end of the serenade
Vendetta, sweet vendetta
This Beretta of the night
This fire and the desire
Well, shots ringing out on the holy parasite
Well, I am a killjoy from Detroit, I drink from a well of rage
I feed off the weakness with all my love
Well, call up the captain, hey hey, hey hey hey hey hey
Well, death to the lover that you were dreaming of
Well, this is a stand-off, a Molotov cocktails on the house
You thought I was a write-off, you better think again
Well, call the peacemaker, hey hey, hey hey hey hey hey
Im gonna send you back to the place where it all began
Vendetta, sweet vendetta
This Beretta of the night
This fire and the desire
Well, shots ringing out on the holy parasite
Well, now the caretakers the undertaker
So Im gonna go out and get a peacemaker
This is a Neo Saint Valentines massacre
Well, call up the Gaza, hey hey, hey hey hey hey hey
Well, death to the ones at the end of the serenade
Well, death to the ones at the end of the serenade
Well, death to the ones at the end of the serenade
Well, death to the ones at the end of the serenade |
Roaming round your house, wasting your time
No obligation, just wasting your time
So why are you alone, wasting your time?
When you could be with me, wasting your time?
Well, Im a waste like you
With nothin else to do
May I waste your time too?
Warding off regrets, wasting your time
Smoking cigarettes, wasting your time
Im just a parasite wasting your time
Applying myself to wasting your time
Well, Im a waste like you
With nothin else to do
May I waste your time too?
So why are you alone, wasting your time?
When you could be with me, wasting your time?
Well, Im a waste like you
With nothing else to do
May I waste your time too?
May I waste your time too?
May I waste your time too?
May I waste your time too? |
She puts her makeup on like graffiti on the walls of the heartland
Shes got her little book of conspiracies right in her hand
She is paranoid, endangered species headed into extinction
She is one of a kind, well shes the last of the American girls
She wears her overcoat for the coming of the nuclear winter
She is riding her bike like the fugitive of Critical Mass
Shes on a hunger strike for the ones who wont make it for dinner
She makes enough to survive for a holiday of working class
Shes a runaway of the establishment incorporated
She wont cooperate, well shes the last of the American girls
She plays her vinyl records, singing songs on the eve of destruction
Shes a sucker for all the criminals breaking the laws
She will come in first for the end of western civilization
Shes an endless war, shes a hero for the lost cause
Like a hurricane in the heart of the devastation
Shes a natural disaster, shes the last of the American girls
She puts her makeup on like graffiti on the walls of the heartland
Shes got her little book of conspiracies right in her hand
She will come in first for the end of western civilization
Shes a natural disaster, shes the last of the American girls
Aw, yeah
Alright
Aw, yeah |
Do as I say, not as I do
Because the shits so deep, you cant run away
I beg to differ on the contrary
Agree with every word that you say
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive
My wallets fat and so is my head
Hit and run and then Ill hit you again
A smart ass, but Im playing dumb
Standards set and broken all the time
Control the chaos behind the gun
Call it as I see it, even if
I was born deaf, blind, and dumb
Losers winning big on the lottery
Rehab rejects still sniffing glue
Constant refutation with myself
A victim of a catch-22
I have no belief
But I believe Im a walking contradiction
And I aint got no right
Do as I say, not as I do
Because the shits so deep you cant run away
I beg to differ on the contrary
Agree with every word that you say
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive
My wallets fat and so is my head
Hit and run and then Ill hit you again
A smart ass, but Im playing dumb
I have no belief
But I believe Im a walking contradiction
And I aint got no right
I have no belief
But I believe Im a walking contradiction
And I aint got no right
Ay! |
Ive got a really bad disease
Its got me begging on my hands and knees
So, take me to emergency
Cause something seems to be missing
Somebody, take the pain away
Its like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
So, send me to the pharmacy
So I can lose my memory
Im elated, medicated
Lord knows I tried to find a way
To run away
I think they found another cure
For broken hearts and feeling insecure
Youd be surprised what I endure
What makes you feel so self-assured?
I need to find a place to hide
You never know what could be waiting outside
The accidents that you could find
Its like some kind of suicide
So what ails you is what impales you
I feel like Ive been crucified
To be satisfied
Im a victim of my symptom
I am my own worst enemy
Youre a victim of your symptom
You are your own worst enemy
Know your enemy
Im elated, medicated
I am my own worst enemy
So, what ails you is what impales you
You are your own worst enemy
Youre a victim of the system
You are your own worst enemy
Youre a victim of the system
You are your own worst enemy |

Violence on the rise
Like a bullet in the sky
Oh Lord, have mercy on my soul
Kindred spirits sing
For the sick and suffering
The city of damage control
This is how we roll, roll
Say hello to the cops on patrol
Say hello to the cops on patrol

Say hello to the ones in control
Teach your children well
From the bottom of the well
Oh Lord, have mercy on my soul
Hear the children sing

Violence on the rise

Im crawling on the dance floor
I think I lost my phone
Feeling like a toothache
My face is going numb
I beg a thousand pardons
All my friends are crazy
Hanging from a window
And all you gotta do is jump
Come meet me on the roof tonight, girl
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
How high is your low gonna go, girl?
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
Come meet me on the roof tonight
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
How high is your low gonna go, girl?
Im hanging with the cholos
Cruising down the strip
Sleeping with a pillow
Waking up in spit
Im taking drowning lessons
Secret words and true confessionals
Now the worst is yet to come
Come meet me on the roof tonight, girl
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
How high is your low gonna go, girl?
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
Come meet me on the roof tonight
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
How high is your low gonna go, girl?
So meet me where the good times go
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
How high is your low?
As far as I can go
Come meet me on the roof tonight, girl
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
How high is your low gonna go, girl?
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
Come meet me on the roof tonight
Oh-ooh-oh-oh
How high is your low gonna go, girl? |
I sit alone in my bedroom
Starin at the walls
Ive been up all damn night long
My pulse is speedin, my love is yearnin
I hold my breath and close my eyes and
Dream about her
Cause shes 2000 light-years away
She holds my malachite so tight, so
Never let go
Cause shes 2000 light-years away
Years away!
I sit outside and watch the sunrise
Lookout as far as I can
I cant see her, but in the distance
I hear some laughter, we laugh together
I hold my breath and close my eyes and
Dream about her
Cause shes 2000 light-years away
She holds my malachite so tight, so
Never let go
Cause shes 2000 light-years away
Years away!

I was a young boy that had big plans
Now Im just another shitty old man
I dont have fun, and I hate everything
The world owes me, so fuck you
Glory days dont mean shit to me
I drank a six-pack of apathy
Lifes a bitch, and so am I
The world owes me, so fuck you
Wasted youth, and a fistful of ideals
I had a young and optimistic point of view
Wasted youth, and a fistful of ideals
I had a young and optimistic point of view
Ive decomposed, yet my guts getting fat
Oh my God, Im turning out like my dad
Im always rude, Ive got a bad attitude
The world owes me, so fuck you
The wifes a nag, and the kids fucking up
I dont have sex cause I cant get it up
Im just a grouch sitting on the couch
The world owes me, so fuck you
Wasted youth, and a fistful of ideals
I had a young and optimistic point of view

I lost my way, oh, baby, this stray heart
Went to another; can you recover, baby?
Oh, youre the only one that Im dreaming of
Your precious heart was torn apart by me
And you, youre not alone, oh-oh
And now, Im where I belong
Were not alone, oh-oh
Ill hold your heart and never let go
Everything that I want, I want from you
But I just cant have you
Everything that I need, I need from you
But I just cant have you
I said a thousand times, and now a thousand one
Well never part, Ill never stray again from you
This dog is destined for a home to your heart
Well never part, Ill never stray again from you
Youre not alone, oh-oh
And now Im where I belong
Were not alone, oh-oh
Ill hold your heart and never let go
Everything that I want, I want from you

Were not alone, oh-oh
Ill hold your heart and never let go
Everything that I want, I want from you
But I just cant have you
Everything that I need, I need from you
But I just cant have you
Everything that I want, I want from you
But I just cant have you
Everything that I need, I need from you
But I just... Just cant have you |
What are the symptoms of our happiness and civil war?
Mano y mano in the stereo without a cure
Ive got a fever, a non-believer, and its killing me
Like a high school loser that will never ever, ever, ever fuck the prom queen
I got the shakes and Im on fire
I got a feeling and its dangerous
Gonna dance to something wild
I got a feeling and I need a rush
All hell is breaking loose and Heaven only knows
I dont wanna be a Romeo
I dont wanna be a Romeo
I dont wanna be a Romeo, no
Im hearing voices up inside my head
I need a sugar fix, its making me sick
I wanna drink all the poison in the water
I wanna choke like a dog thats on a collar
I am the child of coyote and bandito
Im drinking whiskey by the river doing yayo
I got the shakes and Im on fire
I got a feeling and its dangerous
Gonna dance to something wild
I got a feeling and I need a rush
All hell is breaking loose and Heaven only knows
I dont wanna be a Romeo
I dont wanna be a Romeo
I dont wanna be a Romeo, no |
A thought burst in my head
And I need to tell you
Its news that I forethought
Was it just a dream
That happened long ago?
I think I just forgot
Well, it hasnt been the first time
And it sure does drive me mad
Thats what Im saying
Theres a boy who fogs his world, and now hes getting lazy
Theres no motivation, and frustration makes him crazy
He makes a plan to take a stand, but always ends up sitting
Someone help him up, or he is gonna end up quitting
I shuffle through my mind
To see if I can find
The words I left behind
Was it just a dream
That happened long ago?
Oh well, never mind
Well it hasnt been the first time
And it sure does drive me mad
Thats what Im saying
Theres a boy who fogs his world, and now hes getting lazy
Theres no motivation, and frustration makes him crazy
He makes a plan to take a stand, but always ends up sitting
Someone help him up, or he is gonna end up quitting
What Im saying
Theres a boy who fogs his world, and now hes getting lazy
Theres no motivation, and frustration makes him crazy
He makes a plan to take a stand, but always ends up sitting
Someone help him up, or he is gonna end up quitting

Theres no motivation, and frustration makes him crazy
He makes a plan to take a stand, but always ends up sitting

Is your heart singing out of tune?
Are your eyes just singing the blues?
Dirty records from another time
Some blood stains on your shoes
No one really knows about your soul
And I barely really know your name
Burning rhythms and posting lies
And a bunch of fools drown in shame
Amy, dont you go, I want you around
Singing whoa, oh, oh-ooh-oh-ooh, please dont go
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?
Did you tattoo a lucky charm
To keep you out of harms way?
Warding off all evil signs
But never really kept you safe
Now youre too young for the golden age
Cause the record bins been replaced
Twenty-seven, gone without a trace
And you walked away from your drink
Amy, dont you go, I want you around
Singing whoa, oh, oh-ooh-oh-ooh, please dont go
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?
Do you wanna be a friend of...
Amy, please dont go...
Amy, please dont go...
Is your heart singing out of tune?
Are your eyes just singing the blues?
Dirty records from another time
Some blood stains on your shoes
May I have this last dance
By chance, if we should meet?
Can you write me a lullaby
So we can sing you to sleep?
Amy, dont you go, I want you around
Singing whoa, oh, oh-ooh-oh-ooh, please dont go
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?
Do you wanna be a friend of mine? |
Another one down at the mining town
Breakin it down for the lame wager
Callin the shots from the capital
But all that we got was the banks of hope
Are we the last forgotten?
Are we the long lost love?
Are we the last forgotten?
Are we the long lost love?
This city isnt big enough for dreamers
We were all believers
Its the perfect crime
Another black kid was shot in town
A man with a badge and a daytime show
Darkness falls on Graffitia
Death of a town in the afterglow
Are we the last forgotten?
Are we the long lost love?
Are we the last forgotten?
Are we the long lost love?
All souls go to heaven in Graffitia
Singin Hallelujah
Its the perfect crime
If were goin down for a good time
Life during wartime
Its the perfect crime
Are we the last forgotten?
Are we the long lost love?
Are we the last forgotten?
Are we the long lost love?
Are we the last forgotten?
Are we the long lost love?
Are we the last forgotten?
Are we the long lost love?
Another one down at the mining town
Are we the last forgotten?
Callin the shots from the capital
Are we the last forgotten?
Another one down at the mining town
Are we the last forgotten?
Callin the shots from the capital |
Head down! Head down! Head down!
Do you understand me?!
Aw shit!
Waiting in a room
All dressed up and bound and gagged up
To a chair, its so unfair
I dont dare to move
For the pain she puts me through
Is what I need, so make it bleed
Im in distress
Oh, mistress, I confess
So do it one more time
These handcuffs are too tight, well
You know I will obey
So please dont make me beg
For blood, sex, and booze you give me
Say Im disturbed
Its what I deserve
Another lesson to be learned
From a girl called Kill
My head is in the gutter
Thank you, sir, strike up another
Mandolin of discipline
Throw me to the dogs
Let them eat my flesh down
To the wood, it feels so good
Im in distress
Oh, mistress, I confess
So do it one more time
These handcuffs are too tight, well
You know I will obey
So please dont make me beg
For blood, sex, and booze you give me
Say Im disturbed
Its what I deserve
Another lesson to be learned
From a girl called Kill
Ch... Whoo!
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Im in distress
Oh, mistress, I confess
So do it one more time
These handcuffs are too tight, well
You know I will obey
So please dont make me beg
For blood, sex, and booze you give me
Ah! Whoo-ooh-ooh
Whoo-ooh-ooh
Whoo-ooh-ooh
Whoo-ooh-ooh
Ill show you a real time! |
Fffff...
Stranded, lost inside myself
My own worst friend and my own closest enemy
Im branded, maladjusted
Never trusted anyone, let alone myself
I must insist on being a pessimist
Im a loner in a catastrophic mind
Elected, the rejected
I perfect the science of the idiot
No meaning and no healing
Self-loathing freak, an introverted deviant
I must insist on being a pessimist
Im a loner in a catastrophic mind
Say whatever, oh-oh, woah-oh
Say whatever, oh-oh, woah-oh
Shoot!
Stranded, lost inside myself
My own worst friend and my own closest enemy
Elected, the rejected
I perfect the science of the idiot
I must insist on being the pessimist
Im a loner in a catastrophic mind
Im gettin pissed, Im a worthless pessimist
Im a loner in a claustrophobic mind |
My friend drove off the other day, now hes gone and all they say
Is you got to live cause life goes on...
But now I see Im mortal, too, I cant live my life like you
Got to live it up while life goes on
And I think its all right
That I do what I like
Cause thats the way I want to live
Its how I give, and Im still givin...
And now I wonder bout my friend, if he gave all he could give
Cause he lived his life like I live mine
If you could see inside my head, then youd start to understand
The things I value in my heart
And I think its all right
That I do what I like
Cause thats the way I want to live
Its how I give, and Im still givin...
You know that I know that
Youre watchin me!
And I think its all right
That I do what I like
Cause thats the way I want to live
Its how I give, and Im still givin...
Got to make a plan, got to do whats right
Cant run around in circles if you wanna build a life
But I dont want to make a plan for a day far away
While Im young and while Im able, all I want to do is... |
Here we go again, infatuation
Touches me just when I
Thought that it would end
Oh but then again it seems
Much more than that but
Im not sure exactly what youre thinking
Well, I toss and turn all night
Thinking of your ways of affection
But to find that its not different at all

I saw my friend the other day
And I dont know
Exactly just what he became
It goes to show
It wasnt long ago
That I was just like you
And I think Im sick and I wanna go home
How have I been? How have you been?
Its been so long
What have you done with all your time?
And what went wrong?
I knew you back when
And you, you knew me
And now I think youre sick and I wanna go home
Anybody ever say no?
Ever tell you that you werent right?
Where did all the little kid go?
Did you lose it in a hateful fight?
And you know its true
It wasnt long ago
That I was just like you
And now I think Im sick and I wanna go home |
Well, Ive got some scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor
Reminds me of the times weve shared
Makes me wish that you were here, cause
Now it seems Ive forgotten my purpose in this life
Well, all the songs have been erased
Guess Ive learned from my mistakes, well
Open the past and present now, and we are there
Story to tell, and I am listening
Open the past and present and the future, too
Its all Ive got, and Im giving it to you
Well, loose ends tied in knots leaving a lump down in my throat
Im gagging on a souvenir
Live to fill another year
Well drag it on and on until my skin is ripped to shreds
Well, leaving myself open wide
Living out a sacrifice, well
Open the past and present now, and we are there
Story to tell, and I am listening
Open the past and present and the future too
Its all Ive got, and Im giving it to you
If you got no one
And I got no place to go
Would it be alright?
Could it be alright?
Well, Ive got some scattered pictures lying on my bedroom floor
Reminds me of the times weve shared
Makes me wish that you were here, cause
Now it seems Ive forgotten my purpose in this life
Well, all the songs have been erased
Guess Ive learned from my mistakes, well
Open the past and present now, and we are there
Story to tell, and I am listening
Open the past and present and the future too
Its all Ive got, and Im giving it to you

High on a low life
Hit me with a dull knife
Sweet soul sickness
Can I get a witness?
This is the wildlife
Im gonna take a dive
Take the money and crawl
Do I dare say please
When Im on my knees?
Take the money and crawl
Illegal tender
Going on a bender
Cold-blooded killers
Of all motherfuckers
Well, Im a nervous wreck
Enough to make you sick
Take the money and crawl
Oh yeah, its just my luck
But I dont give a fuck
Take the money and crawl
This is the wildlife
Im gonna take a dive
Take the money and crawl
Do I dare say please
When Im on my knees?
Take the money and crawl
So you can take a walk
Or you can suck my cock
Take the money and crawl
Oh yeah, its just my luck
But I dont give a fuck
Take the money and crawl |
Baby infidel in a dirty magazine
Telling dirty lies, everybody can see
Kick it in the head and now I wanna see you dead
With a switchblade edge to the chest
I wanna stab you in the heart
I wanna stab you in the heart
Right in the bloody, bloody heart, ooh
For heavens sake, youre just a fake
And you know it aint right
Pictures dont lie when youre front-page news
Dagger to the heart coming down on you
I wanna stab you in the heart
I wanna stab you in the heart
Right in the bloody, bloody heart, ooh
For heavens sake, youre just a fake
Girl, you know it aint right
Daggers in my eyes and a rusty tambourine
Gimme my stiletto, gonna do some surgery
Right to the heart
I wanna stab you in the heart
Right in the bloody, bloody heart, ooh
For heavens sake, youre just a fake
And you know it aint right |
Virginia was a lot-lizard from FLA
She had a compound fracture in the trunk
It started when she ran away
Thumbs out on the interstate
She hitched a ride to misery
Mr. Whirly had a catastrophic incident
He fell into the city by the bay
He liquidated his estate
Now he sleeps upon the Haight
Panhandling misery
And hes gonna get high, high, high
When hes low, low, low
The fire burns from better days
And she screams, Why, oh, why?
I said, I dont know
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
Of misery
The Vinnie was a hustler out of Amsterdam
He ran the drug cartel in Tinseltown
They found him in a Cadillac
Bludgeoned with a baseball bat
In the name of misery
Then Gina hit the road to New York City
Mysteriously the night Vinnie croaked
She stopped in Vegas to elope
With Virginia and the dope
And kissed the bride eternally
And theyre gonna get high, high, high
When theyre low, low, low
The fire burns from better days
And she screamed, Why, oh, why?
I said, I dont know
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
Of misery
Well, hell hounds on your trail now once again, boy
Its groping on your leg until it sleeps
The emptiness will fill your soul with sorrow
Cause its not what you make, its what you leave
Ah!
And were gonna get high, high, high
When were low, low, low
The fire burns for better days
And she screams, Why, oh, why?
I said, I dont know
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
Of misery |
All brawn and no brains, yeah, and all those nice things, yeah
You finally got what you want
Someone to look good with and light your cigarette
Is this what you really want?
I figured out what youre all about, and
I dont think I like what I see, so
I hope I wont be there in the end if you come around
How long will he last before hes a creep in the past
And youre alone once again?
Will you pop up again and be my special friend
Til the end and when will that be?
I figured out what youre all about, and
I dont think I like what I see, so
I hope I wont be there in the end if you come around
Hey!
I figured out what youre all about, and
I dont think I like what I see, so
I hope I wont be there in the end if you come around |
He hit the ground running at the speed of light
The star was brightly shining like a neon light
Its your favorite son
Its your favorite son
A fixture on the talkshows to the silver-screen
From here to Colorado, hes a sex machine!
Its your favorite son
Its your favorite son
But isnt it a drag? But isnt it a drag?
But isnt it a drag? Its pretty, but its sad, but isnt it a drag?
A clean-cut all-American really aint so clean
His royal auditorium, its a murder scene!
Its your favorite son
Its your favorite son
But isnt it a drag? But isnt it a drag?
But isnt it a drag? Its pretty, but its sad, but isnt it a drag?
Well no one says its fair
To turn a teenage lush to a millionaire
Now wheres your fucking champion on a bed you made?
Hes not the all-American that you thought you paid!
Its your favorite son
Its your favorite son
But isnt it a drag? |
What brings you around?
Did you lose something the last time you were here?
Youll never find it now
Its buried deep with your identity
So stand aside and let the next one pass
Dont let the door kick you in the ass
Theres no return from 86
Theres no return from 86
Theres no return from 86
Theres no return from 86
Dont even try
Exit out the back
And never show your head around again
Purchase your ticket
And quickly take the last train out of town
And stand aside and let the next one pass
Dont let the door kick you in the ass
Theres no return from 86
Theres no return from 86
Theres no return from 86
Theres no return from 86
Dont even try
Theres no return from 86
Theres no return from 86
Theres no return from 86

Dont even try |
One, two, three, four!
Im not fucking around
I think Im coming out
All the deceivers and cheaters, I think weve got a bleeder right now
Want you to slap me around
Want you to knock me out
Well, you missed me, kissed me, now you better kick me down
Maybe youre the runner-up, but the first one to lose the race
Almost only really counts in horseshoes and handgrenades
Im gonna burn it all down
Im gonna rip it out
Well, everything you employ was meant for me to destroy to the ground, now
So dont you fuck me around
Because Ill shoot you down
Im gonna drink, fight, and fuck, and Im pushing my luck all the time, now
Maybe youre the runner-up, but the first one to lose the race
Almost only really counts in horseshoes and handgrenades
Demolition, self-destruction
Want to annihilate this age-old contradiction!
Demolition, self-destruction
Want to annihilate this age-old contradiction
Demolition, self-destruction
Want to annihilate this old age
Im not fucking around
I think Im coming out
Well, Im a hater, a traitor in a pair of Chuck Taylors right now
Im not fucking around

Gonna ride the world like a merry-go-round
Like a ferris wheel that keeps breaking down
Drinking angels piss, gonna crash and burn
I just want some action, so gimme my turn
Like a Chinese drama and conspiracy
Its the death of a nuclear family staring up at you
Its looking like another bad comedy
Just as long as it comes in hi-fidelity for me too
Can you hear the sound coming over the hill?
Gotta move my feet, its coming in for the kill
Ba-baby, baby its a blow out, oh yeah
Like a nuclear bomb and it wont be long til I detonate
Like a Chinese drama and conspiracy
Its the death of a nuclear family staring up at you
Its looking like another bad comedy
Just as long as it comes in hi-fidelity for me too
Wow!
Gonna ride the world like a merry-go-round
Like a ferris wheel that keeps breaking down
Scream, screaming, screaming bloody murder
Like a nuclear bomb and it wont be long til I detonate
Like a Chinese drama and conspiracy
Its the death of a nuclear family staring up at you
Its looking like another bad comedy
Just as long as it comes in hi-fidelity for me too
I say ten! Nine!
Eight! Seven!
Six! Five!
Four! Three!
Five, four, three, two, one! |
Concrete dream Im gonna make a scene
Radio covered in gasoline
Sleeping in reverse, and everybodys bouncing off the walls
Bombs away Its just another day
Of idle threats, the secret alphabet
I wouldnt sweat it, everybodys bouncing off the walls
Im bouncing off the walls! Alright!
Concrete kiss Come on and do the twist
The radio, my little exorcist
Were all getting pissed, and everybodys bouncing off the walls
Im bouncing off the walls!
Cause its all that I want, and I wanna be free
I got Satan riding next to me
Cause were all bloody freaks, and well give you the creeps
Chasing fireflies and zeroes
Hey!
Hey!
Cause its all that I want, and I wanna be free
I got Satan riding next to me
Cause were all bloody freaks, and well give you the creeps
Chasing fireflies and zeroes
Hey!
Hey! |
Im not part of your elite, Im just alright
Class structures waving, colors bleeding from my throat
Not subservient to you, Im just alright
Down-classed by the powers that be, give me loss of hope
Cast out, buried in a hole
Struck down, forcing me to fall
Destroyed, giving up the fight
Well, I know Im not alright
Whats my price, and will you pay it if its alright?
Take it from my dignity and waste it til its dead
Throw me back into the gutter cause its alright
Find another pleasure-fucker, drag them down to hell
Cast out, buried in a hole
Struck down, forcing me to fall
Destroyed, giving up the fight
Well, I know Im not alright
One, two, three, four!
Cast out, buried in a hole
Struck down, forcing me to fall
Destroyed, giving up the fight
Well, I know Im not alright |
My mama said to me
Youre gonna have your enemies
Dont beg, dont follow
Ive heard it all before
I smashed my fingers in the door
My downward spiral, oh yeah
Rock n roll tragedy
I think the next one could be me
Heavens my rival
I sing in revelry
I got my own conspiracies
What hides in shadows? Oh yeah
Junkies on a high
Get back, lay down, go low
Subdivision smile
Drink it in, dumb it down, suck it up
As we watch the world burn
As we watch the world burn
Im not a soldier
This aint no new world order
My path, dont follow
My name is Nobody
My pride is my pornography
Kool-Aids my motto, Oh yeah!
Junkies on a high
Get back, lay down, go low
Subdivision smile
Drink it in, dumb it down, suck it up
As we watch the world burn
As we watch the world burn
Oh yeah, burn
As we watch the world burn
Oh yeah |
Ooh-ooh
Today is the first day of the rest of our lives
Tomorrow is too late to pretend everythings alright, now
Im not getting any younger as long as you dont get any older
Im not gonna say that yesterday never was
Bloodshot deadbeat and lack of sleep
Making your mascara bleed
Tears down your face, leaving traces of my mistakes
When I say
If I promise go to church on Sunday
Will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me, Ill die for you and this compromise
I hereby solemnly swear to tell the whole truth
And nothing but that truth is what Ill ever hear from you, now
Trust is a dirty word that comes from such a liar
But respect is something I will earn if you have faith
Bloodshot deadbeat and lack of sleep
Making your mascara bleed
Tears down your face, leaving traces of my mistakes
When I say
If I promise go to church on Sunday
Will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me, Ill die for you and this compromise
If I promise go to church on Sunday
Will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me, Ill die for you and this compromise
Lets go!
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
If I promise go to church on Sunday
Will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me, Ill die for you and this compromise
If I promise go to church on Sunday
Will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me, Ill die for you and this compromise
And this compromise
Yes, Ill compromise |
Sing us a song of the century
Thats louder than bombs and eternity
The era of static and contraband
Leading us into the promised land
Tell us a story thats by candlelight
Waging a war and losing the fight
Theyre playing a song of the century
Panic and promise and prosperity
Tell me a story into that goodnight
Sing us a song for me... |
Say hey!
Chaaaa!
Hear the sound of the falling rain
Coming down like an Armageddon flame
The shame, the ones who died without a name
Hear the dogs howling out of key
To a hymn called Faith and Misery
And bleed, the company lost the war today
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
Hear the drum pounding out of time
Another protester has crossed the line
To find the moneys on the other side
Can I get another Amen?
Theres a flag wrapped around a score of men
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
On holiday
The representative from California has the floor
Sieg Heil to the president Gasman
Bombs away is your punishment
Pulverize the Eiffel towers
Who criticize your government
Bang bang goes the broken glass
And kill all the fags that dont agree
Trials by fire, setting fire
Is not a way thats meant for me
Just ‘cause, just ‘cause
Because were outlaws, yeah!
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
This is our lives on holiday
I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Dont know where it goes
But its home to me, and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And Im the only one, and I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a-
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing thats beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Til then I walk alone
Im walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the borderline
Of the edge and where I walk alone
Read between the lines
Whats fucked up, and everythings all right
Check my vital signs
To know Im still alive, and I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a-
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing thats beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Til then I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk a-
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And Im the only one, and I walk a-
My shadows the only one that walks beside me
My shallow hearts the only thing thats beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Til then I walk alone |
Can you hear the sound of the static noise
Blasting out in stereo?
Cater to the class and the paranoid
Music to my nervous system
Advertising love and religion
Murder on the airwaves
Slogans on the brink of corruption
Visions of blasphemy, war and peace
Oh-oh, screaming at you
I cant see a thing in the video
I cant hear a sound on the radio
In stereo in the static age
Billboard on the rise in the dawns landscape
Working your insanity
Tragic à la madness and concrete
Coca Cola execution
Conscience on a cross and your hearts in a vise
Squeezing out your state of mind
Are what you own that you cannot buy
What a fucking tragedy, strategy
Oh-oh, screaming at you
I cant see a thing in the video
I cant hear a sound on the radio
In stereo in the static age
I cant see a thing in the video
I cant hear a sound on the radio
In stereo in the static age
Hey, hey, its the static age
Well, this is how the west was won
Hey, hey, its the static age millennium
All I want to know is a god-damned thing
Not whats in the medicine
All I want to do is I want to breathe
Batteries are not included
Whats the latest way that a man can die?
Screaming Hallelujah
Singing out the dawns early light
The silence of the rotten, forgotten
Oh-oh, screaming at you
I cant see a thing in the video
I cant hear a sound on the radio
In stereo in the static age
I cant see a thing in the video
I cant hear a sound on the radio
In stereo in the static age
I cant see a thing in the video
I cant hear a sound on the radio
In stereo in the static age
I cant see a thing in the video
I cant hear a sound on the radio
In stereo in the static age
The static age |
