So you noticed that your city changed
The old familiar roads now seem so strange Can you believe that there's paint on the walls Kids are murdered in the high school halls Wake up kid and stop your whining Every silver cloud has a black lining The word hasn't changed It just broke your bubble Now you see you can't hide from trouble You were raised in the suburbs Mom and Dad gave you the best The referee has left the field And you're all alone to face this test Do you have the strength To maintain your precious values Are you in control of your own fate Or will you become one of those guys You used to hate Sooner or later everyone wants the best And your private world becomes like all the rest Nothing is worse it's just touching you For the first time you see the world zoo It's not a question of staying alive You don't have to fuck over others to survive The question is what's good enough How much do you need to stop being tough? |

> Clawing his way out of the doldrums
Getting sick and tired of coke and rums We'll just have to wait and see Because he's jumped on the wagin before Only to crawl and beg for more His pride is just another casuality His pride is just another casuality Can you see beyond today's euphoric state? Do you remember how you'll feel tomorrow? All the people that you hate All the times you've had to wait Every piece of food you ever ate Reminds you of your fate He's clawing his way out of a paper bag Reaching for the life that he never had And he's just one step away He's going backwards on a two track He's going one step forward and two steps back Getting closer to gray In the end there's only grieving All his goals inside pulled thin air Can you blame him if he's desperate? There's nothing left for him to get And he dosen't care that the people stare And they do fucking stare |

You heard the warnings, saw the signs
Do you still think we left you behind? Don't you remember how we tried? Another place, another time Without reason, without rhyme Can you imagine life without your pride? You look up at me with those hurt puppy dog eyes I never meant to hurt you I'm sorry that I had to be the one to tell you That you screwed up for the last time I know that there were times before When I said I would be there That's when I thought the choice was mine But now I've lived and I know better Promises were never meant to be Because I couldn't see that the things you thought you'd change You had no will to rearrange So you made a liar out of me What else can I say? I'm sorry to turned out this way Do you think we'll ever be the same I'd still call you my friend But to you it's the end I know you think that I'm the one to blame |

Keep on playing me I'm not a toy
I'm different from everyone else Lies are what you believe in Promises that you'll never keep Don't tell me stories of your pastimes glories They've faded away with the sun Faded away I'm flying high above the gray See it on the floor beneath my feet Can't control what's out of my hands The river looks so deep and I don't want to swim In the muddy waters that you offer me I'm not going to waste no more of the good life Watching you fade away Hands on a watch Turn like the wheels on a train And the days turn to weeks The months seem the same Look at all the bullshit that surrounds me Plastic people different countries Speak different words They're all the same life for them is just a game I want a way out but I'm stuck here I need an excuse to be myself again How long will I have to wait just fading away Faded away I'm sitting in the back because it's where I belong I don't say anything just try to get along On to the runway to catch another plane I'm going back home to be myself again |

I knew the day would come
Maybe this would be the one Where I would say good-bye I've tried to understand The law of supply and demand But it does no good to wonder why I wonder if my number is really up this time There were other times before When I thought it was over Somehow I made it this far Won't be lucky forever These could be the final hours I wish I could say I feel More than fear and bitterness I've given you everything I had Maybe I could have gave more All I can do is wait and see If these are my final I'm waiting just waiting to see Are these my final hours You're so afraid of how you look And what they think of you Don't you know what really matters It's not what you say it's what you do You make me laugh when you demand respect I only give respect when respect is due You're just a gambler politician Chairman of the board Corporate suck ass Playing the odds Gambling with lives That to you are no more Than numbers and statistics |

I thought we solved this problem long ago
I thought we grew up but we still need to grow Somehow it rained on our common ground Now when we dig in we slip around I hear the sarcasm in your voice Think of all the times you made me want Without thinking without trying I make that face the face you fucking hate It's always been this way between you and me Can we ever change is this how it has to be We try to patch things up but it's not the same We try to show respect it's too late on the game Can you take me back to yesterday So I can say all the things I didn't say Maybe times were tough and Maybe things were worse But I don't remember it this way The times the wasted times There are times when we seem so strong Then we forget that we don't get along/ Some of these times are not in a bar I can't believe that we made it this far Hmmm I can't belive that we made it this far |

A middle-class mom crouches on the hill
Eyes behind binoculars she sits so still Spots a boy going under the freeway Whispers in her radio going for the kill Open your eyes! You're fighting kids Who only want to make their mark Everything else you took away You left them in the dark Open your eyes! Your war is not about beauty It's about rights and choice Speech isn't free It is only for those who can afford To raise their voice Say it is pollution They say it is a sin Mobilize their force to Stop the demon within They say it is not a battle It is a full scale war Recruiting volunteers Like never before Say it is so ugly They say it is an eyesore But remember They're the ones who build department stores Put ads on the windows Asphalt where the grass used to grow |

Long long time ago,
Before the wind, before the snow Lived an old and aging man who lost his friend He carried by his side All the things he had in life Left all the things that troubled him behind And he was once in a desperate Need for attention and so much more Living his life with the question of conception There is no more... No more feeling sorry And no more getting mad Yeah right! You got the answer Through the years he came to know Sometimes its better to let it go And never look back no matter what they said And then the ones he learned to ignore The ones who always asked for More secretly respect the life that he led And he was once in a desperate Need for attention and so much more Living his life with the question of conception There is no more... No more feeling sorry And no more getting mad Yeah right! You got the answer |

You tell me of a place where everybody knew their
Neighbors all the families helped each other and no one Ever locked their doors you tell me no one locked their Doors old man please stay a while I know at first I seemed Too busy but now I'll make the time stay and tell me one More story tell me about the time you ditched school to go Fishing you thought the branch would hold your neighbor Pulled you from the river he helped you wash your clothes And stitch the hole in your trousers and your mom never Knew why he giggled when he saw you a place where no One locks their doors a place where no one locks their Doors you tell me that you would show me only now it is too Late I would like to build community only now it is too late Things can never be the way they were before you can't go Back to how things were before once the trust is gone Once the trust is gone once the trust is gone you'll lock the Door I can imagine that life but it seems so far from real it's Just like a story that's the kind of life I've never known old Man you're leaving now taking with you things I've never Known I wonder where you're going and if it would be like Your old home I hope you find the place you're looking for |

Looking in the mirror what's left to see
Fragments of life all the pieces are broken The skyways open to conquer the moon I'm going to get there just watch me Maybe tomorrow I'll think of tomorrow Inspiring words The Dai Lama prays for us Oppressor and friend Human understanding We can build a better world Oceans of wisdom Speak out loud We'll think of tomorrow Tomorrow's children Come out and play When I have a kid of my own What will I teach him? Prepare him to be alone Because some day he'll be all alone I have tried all my life to find the answers But the only truth is what you feel inside What's inside? When will we ever get along? I sit by wondering Environmental consciousness You heard it all before the present time is our Future Think think of tomorrow Tomorrow's children come out and play |

they tell you there were better days you can't remember
through the haze this is the only life you've ever known they sigh and talk about fist fights when you could go to sleep at night without avengers tearing out your wishbone you pray to god and wonder just who's up there what kind of father would leave his kids alone in a world where you're lucky if your mom cares hordes of people call the streets their home they want to take away the guns you want to get some bigger ones your defense is up to you and you alone they think that they can stop the heat but they don't understand the street you don't want your girl crying on your tombstone living in that memory don't understand what they see so they pay cops to make it yesterday you can't push back the hands of time you want to know and keep on trying do your best to stay out of there way |
