Good Lookin' Out
Thinking back on what we had want to give in, want
to give up despair washes over you where do you go, what will you do your
mind is racing in a million directions all at once where will you turn
you're not in this alone just look around, and you'll see the answers right
before your eyes I'm here for you, and you for me it's hard to open up,
just try and you'll see true friends will always be there. thinking
back on what we had all those times we shared all those times good and
bad our growing friendship has formed a bond never ending you were there
through it all, now it's my turn there's no doubt, good lookin' out when
life's not fair true friends will always be there.
Built To Last
Invest time, invest life invest it all, reinvent
yourself before you know it your essence is renewed with something fresh
your will, your way. will earn respect in your day let the glory
sharpened knife carve the future of your life let's not praise the past,
just a fact built to last. old school or the new doesn't mean a thing
if your heart's not true greedy ones faded fast, we're here built to last.
for the fun, not a fad the love and the truth so powerful work out the
snags of the past work out the snags that won't last mistakes have finished
my brothers mistakes will guide all the others your will, your way.
might shape a better day eradicate the stagnancy eradicate it like disease
as we've seen around the world we won't go away. cause we'll always
feel this way we're here to stay. and our impact will be felt we
won't go away. if we feel it, we feel it we're here to stay.
built to last.
Closer
sometimes I don't want to know I don't want to
know myself sometimes I don't want to love cause I don't feel it for myself
how can I improve on something I don't know, so come closer come closer,
come closer, come closer so I can drive you away I'll manipulate the stupid
game with my own confusion and I'll be bending all the fuckin' rules with
my own self doubt and if I seem uncomfortable do I seem uncomfortable it's
cause I am, my own mind my peace is hard to find secrecy in my mind mysteries
countless as the world outside so come closer drive you away.
One Step Ahead
It's right, you know it can't you see you're just
fooling yourself it's here, reveal it - all the feelings just lead you
to blow it something special is undeniably run of the mill who is accepted,
who to reject, who is neglected who can make the choise who is admitted,
who is denied, who can discern with the human eye it's wrong, you know
it your gut should be telling you why avoid it, discard it avoid it, put
it aside, now so who is accepted, who to reject who is neglected who can
make the choice who is admitted, who is denied who can discern filled with
human error elusive answers stay just one step ahead. useless effort,
always one step ahead. think about it the more you learn, the less
you know the more you learn, the less you know you know the more you look,
the less you find. the more you look, the less you find. who
can say they're satisfied who can say they've found the answers elusive
answers stay just one step ahead.
Us vs. Them
All roads lead the same direction we all see eye
to eye won't stand for a bad connection we came to keep things tight prove
this, prove that proving is nothing let's all just be ourselves focused
with the right aggression turn to each other for help people merge on state
of mind from all different walks of life don't need any more stupid division
don't need to feel uptight brother... I'll always look out for you if I
feel it back sister... we'll brave the outside world off the beaten track
when it's us versus them, you can always count on me. when it's us
versus them, it's a global unity. open the extended family the family
is growing fast friendship will transcend the borders the world is shrinking
fast cities merge on state of mind there's nothing wrong with that don't
need any more stupid division don't fall for their trap brother... I'll
always look out for you If I feel it back sister... we'll brave the outside
world off the beaten track when it's us versus them, you can always count
on me. when it's us versus them, it's a global unity.
Laughingstock
You set the standard for everyone the standard
to avoid and yet you're hogging the spotlight again and everyone is annoyed
your affectations are obvious the trends so easily seen another martyr
is nailed to the swatch the fantasy is obscene you're a prop, you're a
prop you're a fuckin' laughingstock you're a prop, you're a prop this charade
has got to stop got to stop, got to stop, got to stop so go out and let
them know who's the big man of the show who's the piss-ant livin' large
who's the no-one takin' charge will you be seen in the scene does your
rep still come up squeaky clean will you be seen in the scene that hates
you mocks you, mocks you, they're mocking you at the top, at the top, laughingstock
is at the top at the top, at the top, number one he's got the spot shit
list, shit list, tops the list, so go out and let them know who's the big
man of the show who's the piss-ant livin' large who's the nothing takin'
charge will you be seen in the scene does your rep still come up squeaky
clean will you be seen in the scene that hates you mocks you, mocks you,
they always mock you you're a prop, you're a prop laughingstock.
gets no props, gets no props laughingstock. got to stop, got to stop,
got to stop.
Don't Follow
Thought enters your mind, something of a find too
bad it's really trite and unoriginal this poor sap just wants to fit and
couldn't give a shit if his actions stand for compromise wakes up, realizes
too late has to accept the fate of being the target to humiliate givin'
in control of your mind givin' in control of your life givin' in control
of your mind givin' in control, better watch out you could be handing your
whole shit away bettter watch out nothing unique, just a pale imitation
don't follow, don't follow follow your instinct, follow what's right don't
fall for fashion, don't fall for hype follow your viscera, follow your
soul don't let the powers that be have control movements have the knack
to give you what you lack too bad you joined the thought organization once
you find yourself involved nothing's really solved mind control can do
just what you let it givin' in control of your head givin' in control of
your heart givin' in control of your head givin' in control, better watch
out so much for cherishing what makes us different just watch out so much
for cherishing what's so important don't follow, don't follow follow your
instinct, follow what's right don't fall for fashion, don't fall for hype
follow your viscera, follow your soul don't let the powers that be in conrol.
Nice
Personality, suffer and enjoy it civility, most
annoying habit isn't what I want, can't be what I want eating at me, it's
eating at me patience is a thorn in my side another thorn in my side feelings
bottled up inside ready to suffer the considiration another test, I grit
my teeth and stand it try to ignore the most annoying habits isn't who
I am, can't be who I am feel my decay, I feel my decay patience is a thorn
in my side another thorn in my side feelings bottled up inside ready to
suffer the consideration nice, nice. patience is a fuckin' thorn
in my side nice, nice. tolerance will stab at me but it's nice worn
down, jerked around patience wears thin, painful stabbing stabbing stabbing.
Busted
Can somebody tell me why truth is such a fuckin'
lie close my heart and turn it out I'm disgusted so far gone and out of
reach they kick you in the fuckin' teeth all I wanna know is why you're
all busted you can't pressure me when will you see the walls that are closing
in you wanna take, take, take 'till you have it all can't trust it.
your busted ass can't trust it. who's the one to suffer now you're
the one who showed me how put yourself on the ropes there's no breaks.
Burn 'em Down
At a crossroads in your life at a point to make
a decision do you play the game for monetary gain or do you follow a code
of ethics having to deal with some with the charm of a snake that speaks
with a forked tongue they'll keep a casual bond to use you later on disconnect
yourself and get away burn your bridges and don't look back burn 'em down,
burn 'em down, burn 'em down. gonna burn it. they don't know
what it means cause all they understand is their greed they'll never know
rewards of the soul and something to set yourself free think of moral wealth
you're the one who's got to live with yourself you can't hide from the
ties that bind you've got to burn those bridges and break those ties burn
those bridges and break those ties burn 'em down, burn 'em down, burn 'em
down. you're the one who's got to live with yourself you've got to
burn 'em down. burn 'em down, burn 'em down, burn 'em down.
gonna burn it. the problem will arise you've got to look deep down
inside you're the one's who's got to live with yourself so can you smile
for a price will you stay with those who will only drag you down, or do
you cut the ties stand up for yourself and hold your moral ground.
do you stand with those who will only rip you off or do you strike the
match and don't look back and let 'em burn, let 'em burn, burn 'em down
burn 'em down, burn 'em down. you're the one who's got to live with
yourself you've got to burn 'em down. burn 'em down, burn 'em down,
burn 'em down. gonna burn it.
End The Era
Should be the end of an era an era of control that
keeps minds lost in their identity the power that exists alone, should
be finished should be done the suffocation can't go on choke on the world
while just staring at the sun a spoon fed zombie can't be discerning one
never had the chance to be the thoughtful one never had the chance to break
from being numb once and for all end the era... let it go end the era...
of control end the era... turn it off reach the ones who aren't lost should
be the end of an era an era of monopoly should be stripped of all authority
monopoly exists alone should be buried should be gone a real effort never
made to get a special kind of look or thought or trait the plain and obvious
course is prearranged the opportunity to take the simple path without the
knowledge that the straight-away won't last, it just won't last end the
era... let it go end the era... of control end the era... turn it off reach
the ones who aren't lost let it go, let it go, turn it off. reach
the ones who aren't lost.
Chip Away
Ready to take on the world with youthful anger
and rage armed with only innocence we stand poised to make a change blissfully
naive we charge leading in with the chin reality steps right up and knocks
us down for an eight we might never change the world at least we had our
say. the wheels' been set in motion as we slowly chip away.
growing up not, not growing old the feeling is still the same over the
years we've seen our peers get jaded and turn away the next generation's
here and we're ready to pick up the pace side by side we wave the flag
of discontent in their face we might never change the world at least we
had our say. the wheels' been set in motion as we slowly chip away,
away. but now's the time to make it right we stand defiant.
we can't be silenced. we might never cahnge the world at least we've
had our say with the power of expression they can't take that away we might
never change the world at least we had our say. the wheels' been
set in motion as we slowly chip away, away.
Too Late
no, I won't be silenced, I won't give in.
no, to the pressure of what's hip. no, this simple lesson must be
learned. no, won't candy coat it, must be heard. burry your
head, hoping it all goes away living state of apathy don't wanna know don't
wanna hear what goes on can't ignore there's something wrong no, don't
have time for fantasies. no, can't escape reality. no, won't
shut my eyes, won't look away. no, from the truth and the pain.
bury your head, hoping it all goes away living state of apathy don't wanna
know don't wanna hear what goes on can't ignore there's something wrong
you close your eyes, try to deny you look away to shut it all out we'll
defy, the candy coated lies. can't accept, pretending it's fine.
can't survive, with blinders on our eyes. seek the truth, reach the
sublime. we'll defy, the candy coated lies. can't accept, pretending
it's fine. open up your eyes, it's too late. see what's goin'
on and recognize it's too late. time is running out, it's running
out it's too late. take a stand and see what it's about it's too
late.
Jungle
Cities of money, dried up, no longer running palace
corroded, condemned like all the people that were captive in the trouble
that doubled the self destructive jungle never had the chance to rise above
and see what's on the other side what's the use to put trust in another
man what's the use to put trust in another's hand when the trust has been
erased and the gate just slams right in your fuckin' face life's games
- hard to play what's given, is often just taken away burned out of the
game we let all our evil just guide the way misdirected energy intimidates
authority as planned working for solutions and whoever's not part of it
is part of the problem fat cats and police the wolves tear at the sheep
colors are shown loyalty blown the wolves tear at their brothers and sisters
and slaughter upon slaughter wil act as fertilizer it feeds the weeds a
symbol of resilience to tyranny. working for solutions.
