I once had a friend who Met an early end to A kind of modern way of thinkin He wasn't taken from us Yeah, he's still among us But he lives for drugs and drinkin
He liked to point the finger His accusations linger A deeper part of every action He loved to play the game where He dispersed the blame for Every deep dissatisfaction
Easy to bitch Easy to whine Easy to moan Easy to cry Easy to feel like there ain't nothing in your life
Harder to work Harder to strive Harder to be glad to be alive But its really worth it if you give it a try
He once told me how he Couldn't wait to beat me So he could take what I was telling (He said) They don't give a damn its All a master plan for Us to buy what they are selling
Easy to bitch Easy to whine Easy to moan Easy to cry Easy to feel like there ain't nothing in your life
Harder to work Harder to strive Harder to be glad to be alive But its really worth it if you give it a try (Come on, give it a try)
If I sound above it I can't sit in judgement Cause I ain't sure where I'd be sittin These are all my problems Lord, I tried to drop them Cause this ain't how I should be livin
Easy to bitch Easy to whine Easy to moan Easy to cry Easy to feel like there ain't nothing in your life (Life)
Hard to work Harder to strive Harder to be glad to be alive But its really worth it if you give it a try (Come on, give it a try)
Easy to bitch Easy to whine Easy to moan Easy to cry Harder to work Harder to strive Harder to be glad to be alive
There's a shiver in my thighs whenever you're around me And it fills me with an ache that circles and surrounds me There's an angel in your smile, a demon in your kisses If I gave you all my heart you'd send it back in pieces
[Chorus] Everything you do's gonna come back to you Everything you say's gonna turn on you (in some way) Everything you've done's gonna bite you back (in some way) Everything you do's gonna come back to you
There's a darkness in your soul demanding imperfection And every finger that you point will turn in your direction I hate the way I love you and I love the way you hate me When you can barely tolerate me
[Chorus]
Try to figure why you always seem to Find another fault of mine you can scream to Kicking me, pushing me, biting me, bruising me, Putting me and keeping me down It's always this and it's aways that And it's always something else But anything you do to me You ultimately do to yourself
There's a shiver in my soul each time you try to break me If I don't run you'll drive me crazy
Tina says don't talk to me like I am deaf and dumb We've been broken down and broken up so much that I am numb Talk about don't shout about the people we've become There's a little girl who's cryin' over here.
Michael says don't shout at me like I was born a fool You speak of love and scream of love now dare to treat me cruel Nothings fair in love and war, so please lets make some rules, There's a little boy who's cryin' over here
(Chorus) Did you ever know me, I swear that I have tried Did you ever need me, I feel like I just died Did you ever want me, I swear that I have tried How do you tell someone you don't love them How do you tell someone you don't care anymore How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore
Tina says the pictures that we took are put away, inside a box of memories for cold and rainy days, Poems in pencil rhyming with the things you'd never say, There's a little girl who's crying over here
Michael's old engagement picture's in a wooden box His wooden heart is tough as nails and solid as a rock keeps himself protected with a combination lock there's a little boy who's crying over here
(Chorus)
Fightin makes me tired (in my eyes) lying makes me tired (there's a smile) hurting makes me tired (hold me tight) lying makes me tired
Tina says I wish that I had never seen you smile your name is written on my soul in alphabetic file all I've got's my dignity, so I will leave in style there's a million of us crying over here
did you ever know me I swear that I have tried did you ever need me I feel like I just died Did you ever want me I swear I swear
how do you tell someone you don't love them how do you tell someone you don't care anymore how do you tell someone you don't love them anymore how do you tell someone you don't love them how do you tell someone you don't care anymore how do you tell someone you don't love them anymore anymore anymore everytime I talk to you there's no one listening everytime I reach for you there's no one there everywhere I look for you there's no one to be found
A wave of my hand and a red-faced smile Invisable man has been here all the while He put me in my place He really put me in my place
This lesson's stranger every day The undertaker never knew me anyway Now it's written on my face It's really written on my face
I'm always leaving, but I never go away Help me pack my bags and I'll ride I'm always leaving, but I never go away Don't you know love that I've tried
I've tried
Just like whispers from the well The bartender rings me like a bell Leave a message just in case Leave a message just in case
I'm always leaving, but I never go away Help me pack my bags and I'll ride
I'm always leaving, but I never go away Don't you know love that I've tried I've tried
Same dream every day Same dream every day Same dream every day
I'm always leaving, but I never go away Help me pack my bags and I'll ride I'm always leaving, but I never go away Don't you know love that I've tried I've tried
I'm always leaving I'm always leaving I'm always leaving, but I never, no I never go away
I'm always leaving , but I never go away I'm always leaving I'm always leaving
She's got a red house To go with her red boat She's got a red dress That she wears with her red coat
Chorus
Sometimes the whole wide world demands her Even the people who can't stand her
She drives a red car Drives her red hat She's got a red door Plays with her red cat She's got a red light That lights up her red room She eats her red cake With my favorite red spoon
Chorus
Everybody loves Jill Everybody loves Jill (I love Jill) (I know I do) Everbody loves Jill (I love Jill) (I know you do)
[spoken] Yep! ... C'mon ...Rock me, Ringo ... Pilot to bombadier, pilot to bombardier, we are *going* down, Yeah!
Say that I'm bad Say I'm the worst you've ever had Say I'm no more than a boy in daddy's clothing Make me behave Make me want to be your slave Make me desperate for the lack of love you're showing
'Cause I'm a Red blooded, All-American man I'm a red blooded, All-American man
Say what you want But don't slap me if I don't Become the very thing you thought you always needed I can beg for a squeeze I can drop down to my knees But I can only drink your kiss when I'm defeated
'Cause I'm a Red blooded, All-American man I'm a red blooded, All-American man I'm a red blooded, All-American... And I'll scream it loud and clear again! Red blooded, All-American man
You try to tell the world that I should thank you You think I'm hanging around for this, well I'm NOT Your daddy ain't the only one who spanks you So come on now and show me what you've got...
Come on baby, bring it to your daddy Come on baby, bring it to your daddy Come on baby, bring it to your daddy And bring it to me now
Make me forget Make me want to lick your sweat Make me scrub the dirty places when you're bathing Let me be fooled Let me think men make the rules 'Cause there must be something here that I am craving
'Cause I'm a Red blooded, All-American man I'm a red blooded, All-American man I'm a red blooded, All-American... And I'll scream it loud and clear again! Red blooded, All-American man
American man... American man... American man... Yeaaaahhhh!
Dance with wind and danced with fire Killed the truth and called it a liar Bleeding in it's mystery and the moon begins to fall Dreamers are not all they seem Sleeping in their silent dreams She locks it all inside and hides it all away
Chorus China, China Calling out to your history, is that the way its supposed to be China, China Questions right in my hand and then Answers gone til I don't know when
All you speak and all you hear Hand that's strong and voice that's clear And unforgotten memory and the moon begins to fall Called you right and called you wrong Time that shadow sings your song Don't lock it all inside and hide it all away
i never thought that they could bind you they could grind you and turn you into someone else i never thought i'd ever find you so i tried to look inside to find myself
you never thought i would believe you thought i'd leave you to face your worries all alone you only wanted them to need you so you'd never have to spend the night alone
well take a chance and run to me run to me run to me find it deep inside of yourself and run to me youll see everything there is to see
why did they always try to blame us try to shame us for things we never do or say i swear to God they'll never tame us cause i never really liked them anyway
so take a chance and run to me run to me run to me find it deep inside of yourself and run to me you'll see everything there is to see
i dont plan on stickin round for this world to kick me down there's so much out there waiting for us im kinda tired of asking why you better live until you die well hold on tight its one hell of a ride
so take a chance and run to me run to me run to me find it deep inside of yourself and run to me run to me run to me take a chance and run to me run to me run to me find the inspiration now to run to me run to me (4x)
