living -- if you can call this living thinking will it ever go away? dying -- there's all these people dying i'm conscious of it every single day [chorus] who's gonna be the next to go? walking in a new kind of fear laughing at all the people here asking how could this happen here? taking my choices away [chorus] under the gun well it's been a month, standing in the shadows under the gun well it's been a month, hiding from the sun parking lots all up and down the interstate and on the news it's a great debate back to the normal? it will have to wait
somewhere in a cold jail cell is a man doing time, in a living hell for perjury but it's o.k. for billy somewhere is a young girl her life is forever swirled she's out of luck but it's o.k. for billy and so many pawns will fall for every king's stone wall I believe that we should strive for more obstruction, deception and still they blindly support him they've lowered the standards that they could've raised it's such a shame this is the new breed and i'm standing on my own I remember when there were democrats who stood tall and were cool cats now all I see are more suits and ties double standards, equivocate but even kings can get checkmate just be honest and show this king the door some say that it's just lies, but I think it's just trust and I believe that we should strive for more if he were in the g.o.p., you know that instantly they'd be lining up to fire but now they lowered the standards that they could've raised it's such a shame but this is the new breed for every little kid today who wonders why this one's o.k. well, kid these are double standards and this is the new breed and i'm standing on my own and maybe it's naive for someone to believe that there's a better way to run the show today but somewhere is a man or woman political in stripe whoe doesn't want to fall in line who'll say what's wrong is right and it's time to put it right the king should lose his crown this time who has the guts to say this thing is not o.k. for the sake of kings to come but now they lowered the standards that they could've raised it's such a shame this is the new breed for every little kid today who wonders why this one's o.k. well, kid these are double standards and this is the new breed this is the new breed well i'm standing on my own
i remember a time when there was nothing but trees and green grass now i look around in concrete times and stay behind the glass crowds of people but i'm all alone staring at the bill for the telephone sometimes i miss those days, when the world was green and growing but there's too many people now too mean and too knowing they say you've got to be hard in a hard world - say goodbye to suburban boys, cause urban joy is hard to find what you gonna do? it's all around you sounds of the street start to surround you what you gonna do in concrete times? now i know these memories are just my naivete and i know that boyhood's gone and this is where you stay but so much has changed that i can see now i hear sirens and turn up the t.v. i remember knowing every house and every name on our street now i don't even know our next door neighbors, just the sound of their feet - cause your eyes are more open the older you get but the wide eyes of childhood are gone forever - you see more and less and school plays have been replaced and too many friends have joined the race the newspaper brings sad news through my door acceptance and gritted teeth when you walk outside at night guns and knives replaced the schoolyard fight and the street lights blinking on and on, keep me up for hours along with my thoughts, in a pretty concrete tower
there was a time when home was home things couldn??짠??짙???? come to be alone weather was fine and moods were high some in the distance tried to fly
but suddenly a storm did wake woke up with pain - too much to take the ashes fly and fruits are bruised we can??짠??짙???? deny - something we would use
Debbie wants to go far away far away from home, no rules to break Debbie wants to know how the angels fly Debbie wants to live and rest a while
and now she??짠??짙창?" gone away, her parents cry and if they only could they would retry but debbie she has learned how angels fly she left her life and died, but who knows why
When i was young and self assured I wanna get the level i adored A faith in god that people share They might believe but i don? even care I shaped my ways right out of here They try to scare me but they won? get near But how it works - that i won? forget - What you deserve ain`t what you get Where the hand goes down tonight Feel the way you will decide Where the hand goes down tonight They will try to drown ? And now we?e here what have we found Like all the others as they hit the ground We?e different now but in the end We?e all engaged to reincarnate in sand
well here's now some world news I'm gonna tell you I still hide it deep inside, but I no longer can fuck blessed for all what you once said, I can't even argue what is it now, what will you do ? You'll cheat yourself ! but maybe I'm a fool, for I believed in true love now all you brought to life is dying by your hell
won't waste another day I'm here to run away - ahead
won't feel you, just see you, I'm only after I don't mind to, but miss you, I'm only after I denied you, it relieves you, that I'm only after still love you, it won't help you I'm still only after you
one day we'll come to terms that reason wasn't bad for it made us great and tall but never feel aware but peace of mind will never come, so dark but far true as long as we deny we need a heart instead (as well)
don't waste another day I'm here to run away - ahead
