Witness me re-write history...
the same thing theyve been doing for all our lives But this time its my turn, so I paint the tallest (the tallest of lies) And who wouldnt believe me? When a lie aint as far-fetched as the truth The line between truth and lie turns grey, as it fades away... (and by the way... I shot JFK) Cant you see it in the headlines? Suckers line up to believe And then theyll know I shot JFK Mass media / Mass murderers of the truth (lying my way towards fifteen minutes of fame) (Lee Harvey Oswald aint shit to me...) Ive got a magic bullet... its got your name on it, and its got your name on it Last chance to reclaim history: as tyrants feed on the bored and the weak And who wouldnt believe me? When a lie aint as far fetched as the truth The line between truth and lie turns grey, and its gone... (its gone...) Cant you see it in the headlines? Suckers line up to believe (believe the lie) And then theyll know i shot JFK Mass media / Mass murderers of the truth The line between truth and lie turns grey... (I shot JFK) And the line between truth and lie turns grey... (and its gone) |

If I could find the time
Id find the time to sit and hold your hand Try like hell to make you understand I know you wonder why Ive got so much trouble on my mind You think I chose this? And I wonder why, what was it I did to deserve this? And still I cant decide... is it all a blessing in disguise? My whole life flashes before my eyes And I realize we are not-so-perfect-strangers I know you cant believe how we perceive things so differently You think I chose this? You think I chose this? You chose this path for me If I could, I would turn back the hands of time Do it all again, maybe then youd see what makes me tick I know you wonder why Ive got so much trouble on my mind You think I chose this? And I wonder why, what was it I did to deserve this? And still I cant decide... Is it all a blessing in disguise... In disguise? |

Whoah, forever aint what it used to be
Whoah, forever aint what it used to be Whoah, forever aint what it used to be Whoah... Hes got himself a tattoo Its old and blue and faded, like the name it says and those words you say fade away Shes got herself a ring she wears around her neck But the phone dont ring no more... tell me what the hell were you thinking? My daddy told me aint nothing for sure but death and taxes My daddy told me aint nothing for sure but death and taxes My daddy told me aint nothing for sure but death and taxes My daddy told me... aint nothing for sure, no... In his hand he holds a plan, a promise of eternal life On the side he spends his time cheating and selling lies She thinks that she can buy her way to ever-after All that money cant buy you a clue... tell me what the hell were you thinking? Whoah, forever aint what it used to be Whoah, forever aint what it used to be Whoah, forever aint what it used to be Whoah... After all this time, hes still chasing forever... After all this time, shes still chasing forever... After all this time, arent you still chasing forever... After all this time... |

You stand so high...
I can see you from miles and miles away My thoughts are drowned out by the sounds of the words you say And I know (I know) everything there is to know about you... (but not cuz I want to) Ill hold a gun to the head of the kings of rock and roll (Until theyre all dead) Another message on the microphone, on the golden microphone Another message-less message on the microphone... on the golden microphone Cuz its just another sucker on the microphone... on the golden microphone Go... Its an all out war on our senses, but it makes no sense. Just another gimmick with a pretty face... but theres no place to hide And I know (we know) everything there is to know about you... but not cuz we want to. And Ill hold a gun to your head... Ill hold a gun to your head (Until rock and roll is dead) Dead...dead Rock and roll is dead... Ill paint my microphone gold Rock and roll is dead... Ill paint my microphone gold Rock and roll is dead.. |

as the plot continues to thicken
the wounds you left me with will only deepen And your words are like poison in my veins The time has come to put it into perspective The love you never showed me was so shallow and selective Your injection, my infection... my souls abduction, your cunning seduction How could I be so blind? Why could I never see the way you depleted me? Sit down, focus in Will the story ever end? You took from me all that I thought I lacked And the story goes on and on... I wont forget the way you made me feel The burning in my veins has never felt so real And I cant make you see... what you did, what you said, all the lies that you fed I dont feel the way i should With this sour taste i dont think I could understand what you put us through And thats the difference between me and you And thats the difference between us And thats the difference between me and you And thats the difference between us And thats the difference between me and you... Bleed this infection, numb my pain Your poison plot continues to drain me How could I be so blind? Why could I never see the way you depleted me? Sit down, focus in Will the story ever end? You took from me all that I thought I lacked And the story goes on and on... I wont forget the way you made me feel The burning in my veins has never felt so real And I cant make you see... what you did, what you said, all the lies that you fed How could I let myself be betrayed? How could I excuse the promises you made? When will I realize I have to look inside myself? |

Even when I cover my ears, I can still see the faces
And even when I shut my eyes, I can still hear the voices Cuz the walls are speaking to me... cuz the streets are screaming at me Dont you know... theres a target hanging over my head? And cant you see, my surroundings have been turned against me How can we be just products of our environment? How can we be... when the products are all we see? Sweet commerce is in the air tonight... and the streets read like a fucking magazine Turning tricks for the corporate pimps Turning tricks for the corporate pimps, yeah... Turning tricks for the corporate pimps Cant stand still on the battlefields Everyday, those voices speak to you You swear that youre not listening but youre doing exactly what they tell you to An image with a phrase designed to manipulate Work like slaves just to grease the wheels with a few dollar bills... Turning tricks for the corporate pimps Turning tricks for the corporate pimps, yeah... Turning tricks for the corporate pimps Cant stand still on the battlefields... Cant stand still on the battlefields... you know they cant market a moving target Cant stand still on the battlefields... and you know they cant fuck with this Cant stand still on the battlefields... Cant stand still on the battlefields... |

Give me two weeks and Im outta here
9 to 5, the worlds biggest lie Im packed on the train, Im only half-awake...seems like Im only half-alive I worked all day, theres nothing left in my brain but sleep and must-see TV I see the look on your face, and I know...I know I fell in love with something today I fell in love with something today I fell in love with someone today, but my money is spent now I gotta pay rent All of my passions, theyve been left behind And Ive tried to hide, but something inside of me is dying And its catching up to me... Give me two weeks and Im outta here Its been awhile since youve seen me smile Im busting my ass for the cash, but slowly Im learning my heart is empty No one around here needs to talk, cuz the silence speaks so loud I see the look on your face, and I know that you know I fell in love with something today... I fell in love with someone today All of my passions, theyve been left behind And Ive tried to hide, but something inside of me is dying And its catching up to me... Give me two weeks and Im outta here Two weeks and Im gone... |

Life is so care-free, happy as can be... No decisions to make. There's nothing left to fate. "They" tell you how to look, "they" tell you what to say, "they" tell you what to love and tell you what to hate... [and still you do what "they" say.] Life is worry-free, no identity. "They" tell you who you are and who you're going to be. [and still you do what "they" say.] You do what "they" say, you do what "they" say, you do what "they" say... [over and over again.] You do what "they" say, you do what "they" say, you do what "they" say... [but who the fuck is "they?"]

Hands outstretched towards the stars
Eyes fixated on the skies... looking towards the heavens past the heavens searching for some kind of sign Another revolution around the sun Another billion years of lights bounce back Ill sell out the human race for a way out... from this place But just the other day something strange happened to me I woke up in a strange place. And I swear that they came and took me away... but somehow its been erased Somehow its been erased... somehow its been erased... but you cant stop me...cant stop the runaway Another runaway human being... being, being, another runaway human being, being, being, another runaway human (if you can call this being human...) |
