Tommy's on a mission
He's out to bend the rules He's made his own decision He's had enough of school He wants to be an outlaw But doesn't have a clue Someday he'll be famous We'll read it in the news [Chorus:] God knows where Tommy's gone 'Cause in his world it's all gone wrong Should we speak up, or play along When we close our eyes, it goes on and on Tommy's getting nervous The walls are closing in He's so far above us The air is getting thin He finally made the headlines A name without a face His private revolution Was lost without a trace [Repeat Chorus] 02. The Runaway
Crash and burn
I know that it's not over yet Live and learn By living on the internet Don't look now I think we're on a runaway Everybody's riding on a runaway Smack the mouse Someone's trying to take it all Burn the house I better get a fire wall Don't look now I think we're on a runaway Everybody's riding on a runaway Chorus: If you think it's crazy You know you're not alone Can't you see It doesn't matter where you are Get it free I do it with a CDR Don't look now I think we're on a runaway Everybody's riding on a runaway If you think it's crazy? You know you're not alone And don't you think it's crazy? You know you're not alone And you won't be riding along XML SRC and DVD What the hell It's digital insanity! Don't look now I think we're on a runaway Everybody's riding on a runaway If you think it's crazy? You know you're not alone And don't you think it's crazy? You know you're not alone And you won't be riding alone 03. Always There
I'm not sure but I've been told
The winds of change blow hot and cold I've had my share of ups and downs You would just send in the clowns Hovering like a satellite You covered me both day and night You can see the shape I'm in It's no wonder why I wear this grin I'm still here because of you You got me through it when I was spent You were always there, you were always there It's no mistake you were heaven sent You were always there, you were always there If life's a blend of light and shade That must mean I've got it made There's something that I can't replace The way it feels, face to face The memory's there, night and day Far too strong to fade away You were there right from the start Found a way into my heart I'm still here because of you You got me through it when I was spent You were always there, you were always there It's no mistake you were heaven sent You were always there, you were always there And you will be with me till the end You were always there, you were always there I'm still here because of you You got me through it when I was spent You were always there, you were always there It's no mistake you were heaven sent You were always there, you were always there Now I no this was no accident You were always there, you were always there And you will be with me 'till the end You were always there, you were always there 04. Ashes To Ashes (Chapter 11)
Watching
Now I know what to do And waiting I will blacken the view I'll burn the oil Someday you'll understand I'm watching Watching your boats and planes And waiting Please don't try to explain I know what you've got buried in the sand [Chorus:] Ashes to ashes and dust to dust It all comes down to who you really trust Ashes to ashes and dust to dust Why can't you say, you've finally had enough Watching We are not far away And waiting We can be there today I think it's time you had a change of plan I'm watching If you can't stop this yourself And waiting We will give you some help Your story ends with no one left to tell Ashes to ashes Ashes to ashes and dust to dust It all comes down to who you really trust Ashes to ashes and dust to dust Now what I do, I do for all of us [Chorus:] 05. Once In A Lifetime
Never thought you could fly
You've just done the impossible Because you were willing to try You never lost sight of the dream They told you it couldn't be done Said you'd need a miracle But now look what you have become Do you know how you've made us feel? [Chorus:] Days like these, they come along Once in a lifetime This was just a dream yesterday Days like these, they come along Once in a lifetime Now everything is going your way You showed us how good it can feel When we do the impossible All this must seem so unreal You played the game and survived You gave all you had to give You were clearly unstoppable We always knew you could win It was only a matter of time [Chorus:] You played the game And you played it to win You never gave up And you never gave in Days like these they come along Once in a lifetime Now everything is going your way [Chorus:] 06. Only Human
Sometimes we come undone
We're only human Wake up! Here comes the sun To offer us a new beginning Now it's time to resign and let it go Say good-bye, you and I never had control You're thinking that you are in control Here it comes again This time it may be touch and go So let's count to ten If we don't try, we'll never know And I will see you tomorrow [Chorus:] Sometimes we come undone We're only human Wake up! Here comes the sun To offer us a new beginning You never know what you have until you walk away And everything will look different in the light of day You're thinking that you are in control Here it comes again This time it may be touch and go So let's count to ten If we don't try, we'll never know And I will see you tomorrow [Chorus:] Does it matter what happened today? Don't look back at the past, walk away [Chorus:] 07. That's How We Like It!
Did somebody change the channel?
I left it on thirteen The president will explain this all to me I don't need a fitness trainer To be all that I can be This little remote Is all I really need That's how we like it! They target a destination We watch it disappear Don't you think it's time we had another beer? The lines of communication Are always the first to go They've done it again, The patriots stole the show That's how we like it! Chorus When we get bored We watch a war on my TV And I'm surrounded by my friends And That's how we like it! When we get bored We watch a war on TV We never know how it will end That's how we like it! 08. Watching The Clock (Instrument Al)
(instrumental)
09. We'll Meet Again (Chapter 15)
Have you been listening?
We must have more supplies We will be on our way tonight Don't want to miss a thing We've got to build it right You know we're running out of time What I do, I do for you [Chorus:] I can't tell you how, where or when But I can tell you we'll meet again I can't tell you how, where or when But we all know this won't be the end I would do anything To bring it back to life You'll see a new light in the sky If I don't do a thing I'll always wonder why Why I just left them there to die All I do, I do for you [Chorus:] 10. Money Talks
What you want is not what you've got
You can work 'til dawn but when will it stop? You can take time off but never get caught It's all part of the game One good turn deserves another And every dog has it's day Can we make some more time for each other I hope we don't have to pay There's not time, no time to recover This is no holiday [Chorus:] Tell me anything that you want 'Cause we all know that money talks And we will do exactly what it says We're here today, maybe gone tomorrow You know there's no other way It's all part of the game Whether we, we beg, steal or borrow We will do it today It's all part of the game [Chorus:] What you want is not what you've got You can work 'til dawn but when will it stop? You can take time off but never get caught It's all part of the game As you make your way to the top Don't let life tie you in a knot We're all the same, no, probably not It's all part of the game [Chorus:] 11. House Of Cards
Down, down, down, down
You know how it feels You smoke the best cigars And drive the fastest cars You always get your way Beluga caviar You thank your lucky stars You live in San Tropez You don't make idle threats Collecting on all your debts You only play to win You've got the Gucci shoes But make too many moves Look at the shape you're in Like a house of cards in a hurricane, you go [Chorus:] Down, down, down, down 'Till you bottom out Now you know how it feels When you hit the ground You go, down, down, down, down 'Till you bottom out Now you know how it feels Your house of cards is falling down You're down with heads of state Eat off a silver plate But only if it shines You've got them running scared You strip the market bare Then watch it take a dive You left the girl at home You bought the silicone Then took her on parade But now your life's a mess It took the IRS To blow it all away Like a house of cards in a hurricane, you went [Chorus:] |
