Angel wore a green bar for a living
Sleeping in the sand every-night Cindy's holding protests But it ain't no use to blame Both sides feel the pain tonight Hold yourself real tight Deny... Votes are down, now fight! The ground bleeds fire, hope they're watching my back Eyes burning green and my muscles eat glass Kiss my frag, hope it sets me free As I pray to the sky Breakdown the door with a one legged huh! Graduate now you've worn your gun in Now you're one... Best be prayin' to the sky You're dancing out your head, a free fall.... You see your angel flying Your heart is dying You never saw it coming Might be right up ahead Chasing a shadow that's moving through ash You hold her in your mind as your way to get back home And she prays to the sky While the frozen shock lights the back of your face Only seen the sun for a hundred and two days Hits you right between the eyes You're dancing out your head, a free fall... You see your angel flying Your heart is dying Will you see it coming? Might be right up ahead How many ways can you hold on If you know I believe in you? The ground bleeds fire and your eyes burn green But you gotta believe that we're all born free Not just left to do or die You're dancing out your head, a free fall? You see your angel flying Your heart is dying Will you see it coming? Might be right up ahead 02. Blue Suede Shoes
(dedication to our troops)
I am the son who believed in the call Standing beside you I witness it all Walk hand in hand through cities of clay Far from the ocean so far from the ocean You wonder why Don't you know someone you'd die for? Put on my blue suede shoes all for you... I'm not a trophy you hang on your wall Levy illusion rob Peter pay Paul I brave the distance I take the fall Of extreme words unspoken with deeper devotion Free to decide Salute the lives laid down before me Put on my blue suede shoes ah... Red, white and blue suede shoes all for you... One look around Won't you see someone you live for? Put on my blue suede shoes ah... Red, white and blue suede shoes all for you... 03. Four Leaf Clover
Dear Jane
Am I going down in flames While you're playin' me like a game And I'm this far from home? Good Luck Turned up your pretty face Sent my heart into outer space Am I out here alone? I might be off But it feels like its all gone wrong You're not alone And when I call You're not at home But you know that I'm still wishing I'll be out back digging for a four leaf clover You say Everything here's ok Don't worry while you're away I'll be your reason why They say I'm just a paranoid Pushing Prozac and quoting Freud But there's no cure for goodbye There's a word On the top of my head now it's gone Or was it love? Cause when I call You're not at home But you know that I'm still wishing I'll be out back digging for a four leaf clover Tell me I'm wrong I'm hanging on But you're not at home Don't you know that I'm still wishing? I'll be out back digging for a four leaf clover Dear Jane Can you hear what I have to say? Are you leaving or will you stay Or lying to keep me alive? Is your Jody sneaking in your back door? Is your Jody sneaking out your back door? 04. M16
Charlie Foxtrot
This one's a long shot My one way out is melting in my hands Nearly the bitter end Out in one piece again March through this dream With my M16 Mind's busting seams Grip my M16 Thoughts are reeling People screaming No chance I'll ever be the same again Blindfold the freaks in my head All they can see is red March through this dream With my M16 Mind's busting seams Grip my M16 Human machine Spreading democracy with my M16 Charlie Foxtrot This one's a long shot My one way out is melting in my hands Nearly the bitter end Out in one piece again March through this dream With my M16 Mind's busting seams Grip my M16 American dream Flowing through my magazine Like blood of human machine To spread democracy You see we come in peace 05. Your Great Escape
You stopped believing
Left your will behind It's getting late Good luck is hard to find Might take a supernova To blast your way out of the grind The voice in your head is screaming... what you already know This is it Your great escape Are you in or out? Live on your vision It's all you got When it's said and done You owe no-one What ya waiting for? You've heard it all before From A to Z Everyone telling you What you should be Might take a hurricane To blow your mind and set you free Don't need to look far to see it... what you already know Here it is Your Great Escape Are you in or out? Live on your vision It's all you got When it's said and done You owe no-one When your numbers up You got to take your one best shot 06. Disappear
You parted the red sea
And woke this in me Unveiled a world deep in my need Your essence calling Can't keep from falling Into your world I will come crawling Out of the light Into the night Two worlds ignite Gone in the sweet abyss I will cease to exist disappear in your love Lost in your holy bliss Your everlasting kiss disappear in your love I feel your presence Can taste your essence I hold you in me like a prayer Your every motion Magic explosion Lost without you in despair Let it begin I breathe you in Vanish again Gone in the sweet abyss I will cease to exist disappear in your love Lost in your holy bliss Your everlasting kiss disappear in your love 07. On A Day Like Today
Crazy, wake up
Outside the signs are pointing east And she's drifting away She takes her heartbreak to go She knows I'll understand No change of plan Her love was already gone Before we came undone She runs like rivers and rain I looked away on a day like today... Easy, distance She plays it cool inside she's hoping Love will be there Afraid this road never ends She pretends to like to this way I can't make her stay Her love was already gone Before we came undone She runs like rivers and rain I'll never be the same Her love was already gone I looked away on a day like today... But something's telling me That you want me to say Just stay But I'm broken We're just the same you know We're letting it go Crazy, wake up Inside the signs are pointing west And I'm driving away I take my heartbreak to go 'Cause I know She won't look back No change of plan Our love was already gone Before we came undone We run like rivers and rain We'll never be the same Our love was already gone Before we came undone We run like rivers and rain We looked away on a day like today... 08. Livin' Just To Die
Come and get your peace
Before it's too late Ain't enough to go round Best not hesitate Don't see what you do Just do what you see The system's tried and true One day guarantee Ain't that your soul flying Out your window? Run 'til you burn Fooled 'til you cry Shoot through the blur Livin' just to die Come take a bite Before the word gets out This is fight or flight Don't get left without Don't know what you live Just live what you know And watch your soul flying Out your window Run 'til you burn Fooled 'til you cry Shoot through the blur Livin' just to die Bet 'til you loose Squeeze 'til it's dry Climb 'til you fall Livin' just to die ...Chasing nothing Wondering how long will You believe it Wondering how long till You can see it... Run 'til you burn Fooled 'til you cry Shoot through the blur Livin' just to die Bet 'til you loose Squeeze 'til it's dry Climb 'til you fall Livin' just to die ...Chasing nothing 09. Short Flight To Mexico
He took a shot
He aimed it well Her eyes were closed He whispered she must never tell She had no choice One little voice All girls grow up in time But she still pays the price Dead trust - he's the killer Can't keep it buried in her Tradin' in bruises for highway hotels Love lives - she can feel it Her soul he couldn't steal it She's selling her secrets to get out of hell Bar full of flies She's holdin' back Won't be the first time That she's tried, won't be the last Can't fill the void Can't be destroyed Bad endings start somewhere It's time for truth or dare Dead trust - he's the killer Can't keep it buried in her Tradin' in bruises for highway hotels Love lives - she can feel it Her soul he couldn't steal it She's selling her secrets to get out of hell She took a shot She aimed it well His eyes were closed She whispered, "See you in hell" They heard the bang Couldn't give a damn Short flight to Mexico This time she'll let it go Dead trust - He's the killer Can't keep it buried in her Tradin' in bruises for highway hotels Love lives - she can feel it Her soul he couldn't steal it She's selling her secrets to get out of hell 10. Generica
My land is wide
My skies are blue My goals are high My mark is you My hands are red My legs are long My word is spread Be it right or wrong Good luck getting me to commit My a.k.a. is hypocrite Rather be bullying the underfed And treat you like you got a hole in your head I go... Right round pushing out the riff raff No matter where it came from Never mind the wisdom Only see it my way Take it or the highway Welcome to the land of Generica My grass is green My bonds are junk My truth looks sheen My soul's in a funk My eyes are blind My talk is cheap My heart is fickle My tax is steep Try my McNuggets and a side of fries Just might kill you off but never-mind Call my doctor to set up a time Two hundred grand oughta do just fine I go... Right round pushing out the riff raff No matter where it came from Never mind the wisdom You only have two choices Guest list or black list Welcome to the land of Generica Don't go thinking outside of the box Might have to kick you right in the crotch Stick with me Mr. Stereotype You know it man, I'll keep you up on the hype I go... Right round imposing my creation Mass produce it for you Everything looks brand new Put it all on credit A hundred years to pay it Force you to agree While your smiling at me Whoopee! I go... Right round pushing out the riff raff No matter where it came from Never mind the wisdom Only see it my way Take it or the highway Welcome to the land of Generica, Generica 11. Can't Take It Back
Brave face in the final hour
Gave way to a higher power Raise the flag in the city street But nothing seems to go the way you planned You sent the word down from above To break the balls of your bully cuz But two wrongs ain't making right Now we're in so deep that there's no easy way out... No you can't take it back now The whole world has seen how You covered all your tracks and Wrapped yourself in blood red tape No doubt people should be free Be sure to practice what you preach Half good intentions can go either way Now we're in so deep that there's no easy way out... No you can't take it back now The whole world has seen how You covered all your tracks and Wrapped yourself in blood red tape Guess I'll see you in hell Don't you know we're all just the same man? Can't take it back now The whole world has seen how You covered all your tracks and Wrapped yourself in blood red tape Meanwhile you're spinning all the facts For you kaleidoscope escape Your diplomatic monkey wrench Claims it's self defense Spare no expense 12.
