Trip the wires down around my feet
Setting fires up and down the street Calling shotgun with no one at the wheel Hiding from the boogie man because I broke the deal Hang man is coming and he's killing on command Can't hide away. It's too late to pray Don't burn the devil when you're feeding from his hand From his hand Don't need someone to save me I'll be there come hell or high water Can't break the will he gave me Come the hell or high-yi Don't need someone to save me I'll be there come hell or high water Can't break the will he gave me Come the hell or high-yi-yo Face the demons that turn against your soul Junkie heathens swallowing you whole Pulling stitches from wounds that never bled Running from the maniac that lives inside your head The day is dying and the sky is caving in Can't turn your back or fade to black The preacher's crying and he's burning for his sins For his sins Don't need someone to save me I'll be there come hell or high water Can't break the will he gave me Come the hell or high-yi Don't need someone to save me I'll be there come hell or high water Can't break the will he gave me Come the hell or high-yi-yo We look inside to see our battle scars As we hide from who we really are Swim against the river underneath the tide We're all just floating bodies filling up inside The day is dying and the sky is caving in Can't turn your back or fade to black Don't burn the devil when you're feeding from his hand From his hand Don't need someone to save me I'll be there come hell or high water Can't break the will he gave me Come the hell or high-yi Don't need someone to save me I'll be there come hell or high water Can't break the will he gave me Come the hell or high-yi-yo Don't need someone to save me I'll be there come hell or high water Can't break the will he gave me Come the hell or high-yi Don't need someone to save me I'll be there come hell or high water Can't break the will he gave me Come the hell or high-yi-yo 02. The Gang's All Here
Burnin' down the city and I'm getting with the gang
Street fight, car crash, starting with a bang Working up the money cuz someone's getting busted Tricky little Vicky was the only girl he trusted Looks like we're walkin cuz the car got jacked Don't worry 'bout it cuz we got your back (he said) Alright alright The gangs all here, the gang's all here Alright alright The gangs all here, the gang's all here tonight Bloodshot sun is rising, jumping in the fire Falling out, shutting down, preaching to the choir Donny's drinking nitro, hanging from the ceiling Everybody's dizzy and they're losing all the feeling They started yelling from behind the door The punches started when they hit the floor Alright alright The gangs all here, the gang's all here Alright alright The gangs all here, the gang's all here Alright alright The gangs all here, the gang's all here Alright alright The gangs all here, the gang's all here Nobodys waiting for the wolves to come home Alright alright The gangs all here, the gang's all here Alright alright The gangs all here, the gang's all here Alright alright The gangs all here, the gang's all here Alright alright The gangs all here, the gang's all here 03. Not Dead Yet
Count down to the minute
Time keeps tickin' away Born to lose and dying to win Is not the way I play Get the high that you're lookin for While the world goes straight to hell Die young is what they're sayin' But it's too soon to tell Not dead yet Don't throw dirt on an open casket Something that I said You've written me off, but I know I'm not dead yet Some pray for the sinners Something's going 'round I'll fight or go down swingin' before They stick me in the ground Get the high that you're going after While the world goes straight to hell Live fast is what I'm hearin' But it's too soon to tell Not dead yet Don't throw dirt on an open casket Something that I said Ready to go. Ready but not dead yet Not dead yet Don't throw dirt on an open casket Something that I said You've written me off, but I know I'm not dead yet Go Get the high that you're going after While the world goes straight to hell Live fast is what they're sayin' But it's too soon to tell Not dead yet Don't throw dirt on an open casket Something that I said Ready to go. Ready but not dead yet Not dead yet Don't throw dirt on an open casket Something that I said You've written me off, but I know I'm not dead yet But you sure give it a good try 04. Time Bomb
Tick, tick, tick, tick
Tick, tick, tick Tick, tick, tick, tick Tick, tick, tick Sitting in the dark Waiting for the start The start of something new Running into walls Holding every breath In spite of turning blue No telling how much longer I will feel this way I'm a ticking timebomb Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick Boom! I'm a ticking timebomb Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick Boom! Tick, tick, tick, tick Tick, tick, tick Tick, tick, tick, tick Tick, tick, tick Crushed beneath myself In search of what I know Of what I know is true Scratching through my skin Biting off my nails Breaking bones in two Try to defuse myself before I blow away I'm a ticking timebomb Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick Boom! I'm a ticking timebomb Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick Boom! I'm a ticking timebomb Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick Boom! I'm a ticking timebomb Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick Boom! Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick Boom! Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick Boom! 05. Resurrected
Brothers and sisters
Listen to me say The world's on fire But not the end of days It's not religion I'm not the voodoo child Don't bless my heart or curse my soul Just lead me to the wild Judge and jury in suits and power ties Stone cold and living out their lies We're not playing dead That's all in their head Now's the time to see We're resurrected No one can bring us down Or push us underground We're back where we should be We're resurrected Got to remember To look them in the eye And watch their smile crack As they bleed the system dry Drunk with power without a soul to save I know that you know that we know what they know Crossing fingers that I fall on my face But they're still jumping in my grave We're not playing dead That's all in their head Now's the time to see We're resurrected No one can bring us down Or push us underground We're back where we should be We're resurrected We are resurrected We're resurrected, resurrected, resurrected We are resurrected We're not playing dead That's all in their head Now's the time to see We're resurrected No one can bring us down Or push us underground We're back where we should be We're resurrected We're not playing dead That's all in their head Now's the time to see We're resurrected No one can bring us down Or push us underground We're back where we should be We're resurrected We are resurrected 06. Nowhere Fast
In between the hatred and the vow, and the vow
Is the dead end that we're at right now, at right now Love lies dying from the words we heard Are we damned if I won't save the world? Standing at the speed of sound We're going under Can't slow down so I have to crash We're going nowhere fast Going nowhere fast Going nowhere Are we lost? How did we end up here? End up here Crushed beneath the weight of what we fear, what we fear Shake a broken bottle while you scream until it hurts Treading muddied water and you're living in reverse Paint another picture that only you can see Then light them all on fire to set your demons free Standing at the speed of sound We're going under Can't slow down so I have to crash We're going nowhere fast Going nowhere fast Going nowhere Standing at the speed of sound We're going under Can't slow down so I have to crash We're going nowhere fast Going nowhere fast Going nowhere 07. When The Lights Come On
I'll meet you at the park at 11 and don't be late
You're in the right direction if you follow the lights down Broadway Pass a gorilla while hes beating his chest His girlfriend has a voodoo doll pinned to her vest Don't worry 'bout 'em 'cause they're not gonna bother you. No No Don't be scared of the living dead They never heard a single word I said Does anybody know Where we're gonna go When the lights come on? When the lights come on? Does anybody know Where we're gonna go When the lights come on? Tommy's at the bar and he's holding us a place The corner Cleopatra has been giving me the look of deep disgrace She's wearing Friday like her Sunday best With some fat cat that she's laying to rest You see her coming then you know we gotta hit the road The city's sleeping on the village side It ain't the same since Jimmy died Does anybody know Where we're gonna go When the lights come on? When the lights come on? Does anybody know Where we're gonna go When the lights come on? I'm barking at the moon I'll be home, but it won't be soon No! Scary uncle Larry's got a 40 of propane He's taking target practice in the corner on the downtown train We jumped the gates and we ran outta sight I'm in a taxi, but I'm caught at the light I hope it's cool that I'm bringing a friend or two I left my keys at the living end Looks like I'm crashing at a stranger's again Does anybody know Where we're gonna go When the lights come on? When the lights come on? Does anybody know Where we're gonna go When the lights come on? Does anybody know Where we're gonna go When the lights come on? When the lights come on? Whoa, does anybody know Where we're gonna go When the lights come on? 08. Tear It Down
A stranger's knocking
Leave me alone Mindless persistence Has cut me to the bone Turned on the devil vision It took away my breath But I won't let it sell me That I was "scared to death" I'm not a robot I'm not a clone You build the rocket I'll drive it home My eyes are bleeding Can't kill the sound So, move the mountain Gonna take it, gonna break it, gonna... Tear it down No wall's too big for me Right now I want my friends to see Tear it down All my brothers just hear me now No motherfucker's gonna tell us how Tear it down No wall's too big for me Right now I want the world to see There's no time for waiting around Tear it down Oh, tear it down Listen Big brother's watching He's everywhere But does he realize The revolution's in the air Are you still with me? Are you alive? Let's take this down stone by stone And break it up before we die I'm not a robot I'm not a clone You build the rocket I'll drive it home My eyes are bleeding Can't kill the sound So, move the mountain Gonna take it, gonna break it, gonna... Tear it down No wall's too big for me Right now I want my friends to see Tear it down All my brothers just hear me now No motherfucker's gonna tell us how Tear it down No wall's too big for me Right now I want the world to see There's no time for waiting around Tear it down Tear it down No wall's too big for me Right now I want my friends to see Tear it down All my brothers just hear me now No motherfucker's gonna tell us how Tear it down No wall's too big for me Right now I want the world to see There's no time for waiting around There's no time for waiting around Tear it down No wall's too big for me I want my friends to see All my brothers just hear me now No motherfucker's gonna tell us how Tear it down No wall's too big for me Tear it down I want the world to see, yeah All my brothers just hear me now No motherfucker's gonna tell us how Tear it down Tear it down Tear it down 09. October's Song
Mother step to the light that's before you
Mother change in the seasons I see Winter's on the rise Autumn still in my eyes Reborn as daylight dies The night of the longest goodbyes New life is passing us by How do we get down the mountain we climb day-by-day? What do we do when the light that we shine fades away, fades away? Father saving our places in time Passing into the sublime Oh oh father Life has gone to sleep Strength through your memory Silent and so serene I'm scared of what cannot be seen But I'll see you again in-between How do we get down the mountain we climb day-by-day? What do we do when the light that we shine fades away? We leave the prayers and confessions behind day-by-day Waiting on fate to bring something divine and be saved, and be saved How do we get down the mountains we climb day-by-day? What do we do when the light that we shine fades away? We leave the prayers and confessions behind day-by-day Waiting on fate to bring something divine and be saved, and be saved Day-by-day you get by Day-by-day you get by Day-by-day you get by Day-by-day you get by 10. World's On Fire
Times they have changed into stories forgotten
Footprints we leave become nothing but lost Radio silence should be words to live by Yet we get caught in the signals we cross Is this the world that we live in? Why do we poison the air? Let's see the way to tomorrow Instead of all stopping to stare World on fire World on fire Turning away is just watching it burn World on fire World on fire Turning away is like watching it burn Challenge the truth as we're telling our story Lines drawn in battle arе faded and worn Before thе storm moves in Before the wars begin We need to lay down our arms Is this the world that we live in? What happens after the fall? Let's see the way to tomorrow Instead of us losing it all World on fire World on fire Turning away is just watching it burn World on fire World on fire Turning away is like watching it burn World on fire World on fire Turning away is just watching it burn World on fire World on fire Turning away is like watching it burn Watch it burn World on fire World on fire Turning away is just watching it burn |
