He don't leave when it's time to go He don't leave at the end of the show He's no friend an acquaintance at best A scary guy in a leather vest Cause he's a nuisance
When he speaks it's a scary sound It's hard to keep him from hanging around the girls won't give him the time of day, they just hope he'll go away Why won't he go away, why does he always stay Cause he's a nuisance
I wish he'd move to another place or at least get out of my face It seems that there is nothing left to do I wish he would just get a clue Cause he's a nuisance
Why won't he go away, why does he always stay Cause he's a nuisance
Sometimes i think that my life has just begun And someday I'll have my day in the sun But the best days of my life have past And they went by so very fast It scares me to think just where my life has gone And that I may never see tomorrow's dawn
I remember sitting on the swing I was nearly seven years old Contemplating, planning out my dreams Which of course woudl later be sold I would be happiness and grace Then wake on this track of life and find that I am losing the race
I find myself looking forward into time Do as they say and you will be fine Don't try to argue and don't try to complain Hide your anger and your pain It scares me to think just where my life has gone And that I may never see tomorrow's dawn
I remember when I used to be so young and so carefree Now my life is filled with problems and responsibilites Getting home by four to watch richie rich and scooby-doo Was all that ever worried me, it was all I had to do Looking at the older kids, always thought they were so great Saw them hanging out at parties, always got to stay out late By the time I reached that age the novelty had all but faded Now that we are old and grey we've become annoyed and jaded
Thinking back to the time when I was young I thought it would be so fun to grow up And do anything I want It didn't turn out the way that I thought It would be happiness and grace Then wake up on theis track of life to find that I am losing the race
It started when he was just a young boy Coffee soon became his favorite toy A cup in the morining began his day, soon he was drinking coffee all day Java junkie--always has a cup of Java junkie--never gets enough of Java junkie--drinking coffee all day Java junkie--to a coffee god he prays He's an addict and that's a fact But at least he's not smoking crack You can't be sure of that
His parents found his new found addiction So they hid all the coffee away in the kitchen Nothing could stop him, they knew it was true He was totally hooked on the java brew Java junkie--always has a cup of Java junkie--never gets enough of Java junkie--drinking coffee all day Jave junkie--to a coffee god he prays He's an addict and that's a fact But at least he's not smoking crack
I keep on running but I'm starting to tire I keep on moving cause my mind's on fire It's an uphill climb but my feet are gettin heavy I keep on running cause I'm feeling ready Keep on running...
I'm getting tired but I try to ignore it Cause if I don't I'll be heading for it I know if I stop I'll be a dead man The way it is for me it must be in the plan Keep on running...
I keep on running cause I can't turn back I've got no choice my body's keeping track of the miles I've gone and the miles left to go If I stop now, everyone will surely know Keep on running...
I can't believe the time--it's getting to be late, so crowded in the state of my mind. I can't seem to think straight, it's hard to tell my fate anymore So would you be so kind to tell me which direction is the door How will I manage to survive while I'm fighting this fiend Welcome to the american machine
Blame--blame it on the game, the move of the technocrat, watch him tip his hat, he's got no name Corporation enterprise always tries to justify the end Only for the short term, profits will be just around the bend How will I manage to survive while I'm fighting this fiend Welcome to the american machine
Oh I see the river red, the government, the pentagon, choose to feed the green beret instead The streets are filled with homeless, the ignorant have nowhere to go So tell me where's the medicare, admist all the nuclear show How will I manage to survive while I'm fighting this fiend Welcome to the american machine
There he goes running down the stret He's moving and panting and stomping his feet He's hoping and trying to lose the law He's alsmost away but there is a flaw He hit a dead end and there is no way ou, but it seems as if he has not doubt Look at that hole in the wall to his right He's punching the bricks out with all of his might He's making his way through little by little One minute more and he'll get to the middle He gets to the other side and sees it, his big black car with his driver in it The cops are gaining with each passing moment It's making him nervous but he'll never show it He's too rough for anyone... He's the 7th street gangster
He looks in the mirror and pulls out his gun, cocks it and aims it ready for fun Got a big problem, his bullets are gone But even worse his driver named Don is passed out on the floor of the car With him down there they won't go far The only solution is under his seat, he pushed the button --the ground leaves his feet Once again the 7th street gangster has won Why do people challenge him when they know what will be done He's never lost and I doubt he ever will A word of warning to you all--don't mess with the SSG
I opened up the door and then I walked into the bar Through the smoky dim lit haze, I saw him from afar Moved a little closer just to get a better view He looked at me and smilied and said "I'm the one for you" We've heard one too many over used pick up lines Give us some credit we're not sleazy, dumb, or blind
Saw another guy right then, his suit was tailor-made Unfortunately so were his lines much to my dismay Thought he had me pegged, tried to impress me with is cash "You'd look great on my yacht" was the best line that he had We've heard one too many over used pick up lines Give us some credit we're not sleazy, dumb, or blind
Over in the corner I saw this one all alone Looked like Mr. Natural, the kind you would take home Not like any of the others, this one seemed benign At least until he opened his mouth "Hey babe, what's your sign?" We've heard one too many over used pick up lines Give us some credit we're not sleazy, dumb, or blind
"The other ones were complete bullshit"
Got fed up, decided to leave after one last drink Felt a tap on my left shoulder, I started to think... I can't take this anymore, what will this line be? That's when he let his line fly "Hi, my name is Steve" Where have you been all my life, sweet thing? Can I buy you a drink, marry you, anything? We've heard one too many over used pick up lines Give us some credit we're not sleazy dumb or blind
Goals turned toward consumption away from the way we think More concerned about what's in our pockets than the water that we drink Apathy increasing where skepticism once prevailed Ignorance covering the youth like a bride's white veil It's the blind leading the blind, happens all the time In our politics and our schools, now's the time to wake up before we end up fools
Convenience is the rule, in life from day to day Reduction of ambition is becoming the way Education lowers its standards in an attempt to be fair Lack of encouragement causes students not to care It's the blind leading the blind, happens all the time In our politics and our schools, now's the time to wake up before we end up fools
Wake up and smell the coffee, separate the fiction from the fact Look at the world today and you'll see it's time to act Changing one's actions is certainly a start but only if the change comes truly from the heart It's the blind leading the blind, happens all the time In our politics and our schools, now's the time to wake up before we end up fools
Never thought of leaving you today never thought i'd ever feel this way but now i'm gone and you are alone hope you're not waiting by the phone I am never coming back not because of anything you lack believe me there's nothing that you can do the problems with me and not with you
You've been there for me each and every time trust me it's not your problem it is mine i'm sorry i don't know what's going through my head i didn't mean for you to be miss lead
For some reason i don't know it doesn't feel right so i have to go don't let it hurt your self-esteam you'll be some girls ever lasting dream it has nothing to do with you please trust me for i'm being true i'm sorry for the pain it will bring it's just another dumb girl thing
you've been there for me each and every time trust me it's not your problem it is mine i'm sorry i don't know what's going through my head i didn't mean for you to be miss led
Yesterday the leaves were brown, and I was wearing a big frown Because my lover left me for the girl, that he had loved before The sky was cloudy then turned blue, because I saw it was no use To want someone whose heart was elsewhere, so I've decided not to care (oh yeah)
He wants me back but he can't have me He wants me back, there's no denying He wants me back, he's on his knees Now we'll see who's crying
The grass is greener without you, (it's true) So many things for me to do Living my life for me and on my own It is so great to be alone And now you're knocking at my door, (ha ha) You've realized you love me more Well I've no time to hear apologies, I've got the world to see
REPEAT CHORUS (2x)
He wants me back, he wants me back, he wants me back but he can't have me, no no no no no no he wants me back, back Ain't goin back (repeat 'til fade)
In the snow, I sleep freezing, constantly coughing and wheezing Been awake the whole night through, my mind reeling with thoughts of you Sitting in the north pole, it is really cold, but i'm still waiting for you
My blood is cold as ice, if you were here that would suffice Staring blankly at the wall, waiting patiently for your call The bread you baked when you left is now a solid rock, a footrest Tried to keep it warm for you, it didn't last four years, only two Sitting in the north pole, it is really cold, but i'm still waiting for you
You said you'd be back in 10, good thing I believe in zen You'll be back, this I know, even though that was 3 years ago Sitting in the north pole, feels like I'm getting old, but I'm still waiting for you
I know that you'll be back soon, so I'll stay awake until you do Borrowed a book from a friend of mine, I've read it so many times Sitting in the north pole, it is really cold, but I'm still waiting for you Sitting in the north pole, feels like I'm getting old, but I'm still waiting for you
How can you say that you need me when you never look me in the face How can you say that you love me when you've been messing around all over the place I wen downtown yesterday and I was walking in the marketplace Everybody laughed at me, they wispered that I was a disgrace. You've been out all night drinking again and you never even bother to call Been crossin blades with god knows who you're headed for your rise and fall Sooner or later I'll wake up and wipe the sleep out of my eyes Later that day when you wake up you'll be in for a big surprise You'll talk about yourself all night when you really are a bore You give me flowers to my face, behind my back you call me a whore I've had enough of your god knows what, I think it's time for you to leave I've forgiven you too many times before; this time you get no reprieve The bed's too big without you but I suppose it'll have to do Better to lay in an empty bed than spend another night beside you People talkin all over town about the way you've been puttin me down People talkin all over town, they don't wanna see you around
woke up this morning and i looked outside just an average day, no new surprise. picked up the paper and i read the front page and what it said just blew me away. top of the page and printed in red, caught my eye and here's what it said - something is wrong in the world today. work, war, and crime can't walk a straight line.

I'd really rather be alone I'd really rather be on my own What part of no don't you understand Won't you just let go of my hand Maybe it's just time you knew the truth
Don't think I'm coming off as rude I really like the solitude My company suits me just fine In face I think it's quite divine Maybe it's just time you knew the truth
Hey-I love to hear myself talk I'm my own favorite audience Cause I'm the funniest person I know If you were me I'm sure you'd agree
I know you claim I'm being vague But i'm afraid it's not that way You can come over - don't stay long Call me next week cause I'll be gone Maybe it's just time you knew the truth
Hey-I love to hear myself talk I'm my own favorite audience Cause I'm the funniest person I know If you were me I'm sure you'd agree
I'm building up my barricade I'd rather if you don't invade I'm sick of all this obligation Do you really need more explanation Maybe this time you will finally see that
Hey-I love to hear myself talk I'm my own favorite audience Cause I'm the funniest person I know If you were me I'm sure you'd agree
Yesterday the leaves were brown, and I was wearing a big frown Because my lover left me for the girl, that he had loved before The sky was cloudy then turned blue, because I saw it was no use To want someone whose heart was elsewhere, so I've decided not to care (oh yeah)

He wants me back, he wants me back, he wants me back but he can't have me, no no no no no no he wants me back, back Ain't goin back (repeat 'til fade)
Nevermind the time when you were all alone and I Picked you up like a ditry Bit O Honey Licked you clean and found a house of wax for you to stay You set fire to it on your second full day
Then I thought that we had reached an understanding Wouldn't find coal at the bottom of the stocking Instead you swung it at my head and nearly knocked me dead Thought about it while I sat there thinking just bled
Pull the knife out of my back Clean the blade and put it back Pull the knife out of my back Unless your not quite done, then go on and have more fun
I often think about the way that I will watch you die It's kind of creepy, but I'm looking forward to it I'll probably try to linger over it a little while You will fall down on your own knife and I'll just smile
Pull the knife out of my back Clean the blade and put it back Pull the knife out of my back Unless your not quite done, then go on and have more fun
Two can play is rally all that I have left to say Your edge is getting dull Is nearing time to sharpen Get a mirror so that you can see what's gonna be Afraid it's gonna look like untimely death to me
Pull the knife out of my back Clean the blade and put it back Pull the knife out of my back Unless your not quite done, then go on and have more fun
I never thought about it before Just close your eyes and ignore The dark that troubles you most Don't let it be here... And if you see it again Hold your breath and pretend That you're already dead You'll never be alone
I will always hold your hand I'll never let you fall, 'cause nothing Nothing else matters at all...... If you're scared just think of me 'cause you know I'll never let you be... Anywhere.. but with me.
Forget the story you heard, Why are you worried about the dirt. I don't think that you'll mind When it's your time. Cause I will be there with you And we'll figure out what to do So that you don't get bored. You'll never be alone;.
I will always hold your hand I'll never let you fall, 'cause nothing, Nothing else matters at all... If your scared just think of me 'cause you know I'll never let you be. Anywhere... but with me.
So try to sleep with a smile I promise I'll wait awhile to make sure that you've moved on You won't be lost
I will always hold your hand I'll never let you fall, cause nothing, nothing else matters at all.... If your scared just think of me cause you know i'll never let you be. Anywhere... but with me.
Lost again. Somebody tell me how to get there. 'Cause I can't take another hand shake or another blank stare. Thought I knew what I had to do to get through to you. Guess your head is thicker than I thought. You know I am starting to think that it might be you. 'Cause I know you've got a lot of things and people you look to. Do you believe that I never see what you're doing to me? I'll keep smiling till the door closes behind me.
I know where I wanna go, But I just don't know, no I just don't know how to get there. I know where I wanna go, But I just don't know, no I just don't know how to get there.
Lost again. Somebody tell me how to get there. If I hit another detour, I'm afraid that I won't care. Who'd have thought that I'd have bought the expectations? That gold road probably just leads straight to hell. And once I'm there are you gonna care, Or conveniently look away? I don't think I want us to fall off and die that way. Do you believe that I never see what you're doing to me? I'll keep smiling till the door closes behind me.
I know where I wanna go, But I just don't know, no I just don't know how to get there. I know where I wanna go, But I just don't know, no I just don't know how to get there.
I know where I wanna go, But I just don't know, no I just don't know how to get there. I know where I wanna go, But I just don't know, no I just don't know how to get there'
Do you (do you)? Do you (do you)? Do you (do you)? Do you (do you)? Do you (do you)? Do you (do you)? Do you (do you)? Do you....tell me if you do!
I can't seem to remember if you were kinder Did you even care about my piece of mind I find that in the end, you're just a big old.. I can't seem to recall why you keep on laughing At your stupid jokes, they're a waste of your time Cause I find that in the end, you're just a big old bore And I never wanted more than just a little fun
I don't wanna behave I don't wanna behave I don't wanna behave And I don't wanna live up to your standards
I can't seem to believe how your little obsession Has you by the throat and has you running blind I find that in the end you're just a big old.. I can't seem to believe how you keep on clutching With all your might to your nickels and dimes I find that in the end you're just a big old bore And I never wanted more than just a little fun
I don't wanna behave I don't wanna behave I don't wanna behave And I don't wanna live up to your standards
I'd always thought that we had the same goals But now I know what you're after You'll do anything to get what you want And there's nothing that I wouldn't put past you It's pathetic to see how uptight you can be When things don't all go your way
I can't seem to remember when you first began to start this shit And tried to mess with my mind I find that in the end you're just a big old.. I can't seem to recall why years have gone by and you're still the same You stay trailing behind and I find that in the end You know you're a big old bore Who wished that she'd had more than just a little fun
I don't wanna behave I don't wanna behave I don't wanna behave And I don't wanna live up to your standards
