01. I'm Going In

You don't believe in what I'm doin'
How much more do I have to prove you
I can't give up what I've started
I'm not a quitter this is what I do

Oh yeah

Can you look in my eyes
Without telling me a bunch of lies?
All I asked for was the truth
I thought it was me, but now I know it's you

Liar

I'm going in
Into the fire, I'm pulling you out
I'm going in
I'm cooling down your skin

Do you like how I treat you?
Or should I treat you like a movie star?
Something good just went so bad
I got to bring you down

I'm going in
Into the fire, I'm pulling you out
I'm going in
I'm cooling down your skin
I'm going in
Into the fire, I'm pulling you out
I'm going in
I'm cooling down your skin

Dream on little liar
Truth will call out your name

I'm going in
Into the fire, I'm pulling you out
I'm going in
I'm cooling down your skin
I'm going in
Into the fire, I'm pulling you out
I'm going in
I'm cooling down your skin

02. Monkey Business

The touch of magic that you thought you once had
Was wiped out with that smile you forced on your face
You hide your horns and try to bury things in your hate
There's no give and take in your ugly race

Lie after lie
Do the same mistakes again
It's always the same
Time after time
Trying to save us from ourselves
But you're always to late

I'm not gonna take this shit and I'm not gonna drown
Again and again you set the rules for us to lay it down
Suits and ties decide your destiny from dollar signs
And when the goddamn boat starts to sink, they don't care who's left behind

World domination
Tries to save us
Death; our savior
Termination

"Step right up people and vote for your favorite disaster!
They are all corrupted so it doesn't really matter"

At night, the limos pulling up to the clubs
Expensive dinners, whores on government credit cards
They've done this for years then they get busted in their act
Then you sit and cry in court and say you'll pay it back

Lie after lie
Do the same mistakes again
It's always the same
Time after time
Trying to save us from ourselves
But you're always to late

I'm not gonna take this shit and I'm not gonna drown
Again and again you set the rules for us to lay it down
Suits and ties decide your destiny from dollar signs
And when the goddamn boat starts to sink, they don't care who's left behind

I'm not gonna take this shit
I'm not gonna drown
I'm not gonna take this shit
I'm not gonna drown

03. Follow Me

Good luck has never been my friend
I've always been the fool
Please don't follow shadows of mine
'cause the time is running out for me
I walk in the path of a misfits blood
No compass can steer my way
No light at the end of the tunnel
And time is running out for me

No gold at the end of the rainbow
No high hopes, dreams deceive

Follow me
The trouble seems to always wanna
Follow me
It has let me down so far so why don't you
Follow me
The trouble seems to always wanna
Follow me
It has let me down so far so why don't you
Follow me

I walk in the path of a misfits blood
No compass can steer my way
No light at the end of the tunnel
The time is running out for me

No gold at the end of the rainbow
No high hopes, dreams deceive

Follow me
The trouble seems to always wanna
Follow me
It has let me down so far so why don't you
Follow me
The trouble seems to always wanna
Follow me
It has let me down so far so why don't you
Follow me

Follow me
The trouble seems to always wanna
Follow me
It has let me down so far so why don't you
Follow me
The trouble seems to always wanna
Follow me
It has let me down so far so why don't you
Follow me

04. Have A Drink On Me

I don't believe in love
I love the way it tastes
Please don't expect too much
Cause I don't wanna be involved

I had my share of women
Even some marriage too
And every time I end up with my pants down
Lookin' like a fool

I'm such a fool

The older you are, the wiser you get
Just listen to me
When life gets tough and you know it will
Then have a drink on me

The alcohol never talks back to me
It never tells me when it's time to go home
It's been my friend for over 25 years
And she has never cut me low

Don't cut me low

The older you are, the wiser you get
Just listen to me
When life gets though and you know it will
Then have a drink on me

Too many women, too little time
Yeah!
And not enough whiskey
Not enough booze for me

I rather lose my liver than to lose my pride
And when I'm dead and buried
Then just have a drink on me

I don't believe in love
So don't expect too much

The older you are, the wiser you get
Just listen to me
When life gets though and you know it will
Then have a drink on me
The older you are, the wiser you get
Just listen to me
When life gets though and you know it will
Then have a drink on me
Just have a drink

05. Don't Care

Never done a hard days work in your whole life
Born with a silver spoon shoved down your throat

I don't care
I don't care, no!
I don't care
I don't care about you!

So you think you're better than me
No matter how much money you got
You still bleed

I don't care
I don't care, no!
I don't care
I don't care about you!
I don't care
I don't care, no!
I don't care
I don't care about you!

Not everything is for sale
Can't buy yourself happiness

Taste it
Want it
Need it
Give me

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the richest motherfucker of them all?

I don't care
I don't care, no!
I don't care
I don't care about you!
I don't care
I don't care, no!
I don't care
I don't care about you!

06. Reach Out (And Regret)

I'm stressed out of my mind
I can't seem to find what's up and down
I'm frustrated and short for time
Life's a misery, won't you agree with me?

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
I don't believe in that anymore

Reach out and regret
Run for your life
I feel it's pushing me to the edge

The puzzle I try to complete
Is getting short on parts and I don't know why
One step forward
Two steps back
I'm marching backwards
I'm marching on a thin line

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
I don't believe in that anymore

Reach out and regret
Run for your life
I feel it's pushing me to the edge
Reach out and regret
Run for your life
The dreams you crushed, I'll never forget

Should I sweat over these things that's out of my hand
Should I really care, am I a boy or a fucking man

Should I care about the things that's out of my hand
Why is that?
I don't pretend that it doesn't bother me... no way...

07. Generation X

All the crap I've seen and how you're running things
I'm not surprised.
You're heading for an early grave
And with a smile we lower you down

And now we see the industry's losing its grip
It's a dog eat dog world in this magical wild world of the web

Step into the game
Generation of the past
Rejected from the fame
We will see how long you'll last

Don't blame your misery on me
You're the one's out of touch
It's time to change the history
'cause you want too much

You know all the good things must come to an end
You've been riding high on your lies
And now you're going down with the burning ship

Step into the game
Generation of the past
Rejected from the fame
We will see how long you'll last

Step into the game
Generation of the past
Rejected from the fame
We will see how long you'll last

The rise of new technology
That kills the economy
It's an infectious disease
Don't blame your misery on me
You're the one that's out of touch
It's time to change the history

You know all the good things must always come to an end
We're all disposable players in the wild world of the web
Step into the game
Generation of the past
Rejected from the fame
We will see how long you'll last

Step into the game
Generation of the past
Rejected from the fame
We will see how long you'll last

08. No One Knows

These visions in my head
The friendly faces
I don't know maybe it's me
It feels like they're in my mind
And feasting of my brain
Uuuh don't you feel the same?

No one knows what I know when I know that I'm done
No one knows what I know when I know that I'm done

I'm trapped in my DNA
No time to waste
Spies are in my closet and under my bed
I'm losing this scary game
Crack me like the whip
Please crack me sane

No one knows what I know when I know that I'm done
No one knows what I know when I know that I'm done

No one knows what I know when I know that I'm done
No one knows what I know when I know that I'm done

09. Live Fast - Die Young

We all are crying for the life we can not get
The mystery of mankinds complex DNA

We're running out of meaning
We're running out of being alive
We have no purpose breathing
Might as well just spit and die

Live fast, die young
Who cares about the world when it soon will be gone
Burn fast, die hard
There is no future and there's nowhere to run

I won't support the lies of saving our world
We're already out of time and soon we all gonna burn

The climate is big business, everyone is trying to make a dime
We have no purpose breathing
Might as well just spit and die

Live fast, die young
Who cares about the world when it soon will be gone
Burn fast, die hard
There is no future and there's nowhere to run
The floods and hurricanes harvest lives
It's just a taste of cynic paradise... we're all gonna die

Live fast, die young
Who cares about the world when it soon will be gone
Burn fast, die hard
There is no future and there's nowhere to run

10. Not Your Kind

In my life I've learned a lot, don't give a helping hand
To those who keep faith in god, it's not for me to understand

Beliefs??? Is not enough what's coming out of your mouth
I always hide my thoughts, just get away from me

You're not the one
Don't push your problems on me
I'm not the one
You know I'm not your kind
You're not the one
Don't let it get to your head
I'm not the one
You know I'm not your kind

So what god say today, anyone to sacrifice?
Get your head out of your ass
Who's the next one to die

You're not the one
Don't push your problems on me
I'm not the one
You know I'm not your kind
You're not the one
Don't let it get to your head
I'm not the one
You know I'm not your kind

You're not my kind

So you think you can shove lies down my throat
I don't think you understand
I don't give a fuck about your god said so
Just stay away from me

You're not the one
Don't push your problems on me
I'm not the one
You know I'm not your kind
You're not the one
Don't let it get to your head
I'm not the one
You know I'm not your kind

11. Feed Us

The world is filled with desperate people
Looking with their desperate eyes
While the hollywood stars with their big fat cars
Try to get all the attention they can get

Get your bodyguard to pick up your trash
You're in the focus now
Too many drinks, crashed your cars
Can you live it up?

Feed us with scandals
Tell us who did what
You got our attention
Feed us, we're desperate

They're following every step
They'll keep you company into your grave

Stop and waving at people while you're cruising down the red carpets path
Just suck in all the flashes and pretend you care while signing away your autograph

Get your bodyguard to pick up your trash
You're in the focus now
Too many drinks, crashed your cars
Can you live it up?

Feed us with scandals
Tell us who did what
You got our attention
Feed us, we're desperate

Feed us with scandals
Tell us who did what
You got our attention
Feed us, we're desperate
