Wasted Youth
04:14
|
|||
People cheat and they lie then they tell you, āhey, learn how to let go.ā
Donāt you tell me be wise, Iām a kid yeah, Iām just 25 years old
Woah, How am I sāposed to learn when you never hear me out?
Protect me from all your pain, but I still see your doubt
I feel itās wasted youth
We keep running out the clock searching for truth
Then you tell me you donāt care
You say that itās all the same
Iāll tell you itās not fair
That we should try to make a change
I feel itās wasted youth
We keep running out the clock searching for truth
Then you tell me you donāt care
You say that itās all the same
Iāll tell you itās not fair
That we should try to make a change
Because weāre in this together
Please try to forgive the things I say
I was told long ago the day would come were I would understand
the things my parents said
But now as I grow old it means as much as it did before, and itās lost
Only Love can make me change
Sheās getting older ever day but she still fucks up and falls along the way
His hearts been broken so many times but he canāt give up,
heās only got one life
I can see all your shame and itās such a pretty view
I know that you wanna blame me but Iām still in love with you
I feel itās wasted youth
Oh, We keep running out the clock searching for truth
Then you tell me you donāt care
You say that itās just the same
Iāll tell you itās not fair
Hey man Iām trying to make a change
Because weāre in this together
Please try to forgive the things I say

So Good
03:58
|

Something, was so wrong, for so long, for so long
But we keep trying to pretend that everythingās good, everythingās good
Iām fine over here with my friends
The world falls, but Iāve got some gin
Weāll pick up all the pieces again
Weāll be fine cuzā everythingās good
Something, was so wrong, for so long, for so long
But we keep trying to pretend that everythingās good, everythingās good
Something, oh something
Something, oh something
The world keeps turning, turning and spinning around, around
The world keeps spinning, spinning me upside down, down
Iām fine over here by myself
Iāve got Jack, when thereās no one else
I tell myself when life seems a mess
Youāll be fine cuz everything good
but we keep trying
to pretend that everythingās good, everythingās good
but we keep trying,
everythingās good
but we keep trying,
everythingās good
everythingās good

Iām all dressed up with nowhere to goāØ
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulderāØ
I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
āØWalkin' with a dead man over my shoulder
Waiting for an invitation to arriveāØ
Goin' to a party where no one's still aliveāØ
Waiting for an invitation to arriveāØ
Goin' to a party where no one's still alive
I was struck by lightingāØ
Walkin' down the street
āØI was hit by something last night in my sleep
āØIt's a dead man's partyāØ
Who could ask for more
āØEverybody's comin', leave your body at the doo
rāØLeave your body and soul at the door . . .āØ
Don't run away it's only me, it's only me
All dressed up with nowhere to goāØ
Walkin' with a dead manāØ
Waitin' for an invitation to arriveāØ
Walking With a dead man . . . Dead Man . . .āØ
Got my best suit and my tieāØ
Shiny silver dollar on either eyeāØ
I hear the chauffeur comin' to the doorāØ
Says there's room for maybe just one more . . .āØ
I was struck by lightingāØ
Walkin' down the street
āØI was hit by something last night in my sleep
āØIt's a dead man's partyāØWho could ask for more
āØEverybody's comin', leave your body at the doorāØ
Leave your body and soul at the door . . .
āØDon't run away it's only me, it's only me
āØDon't be afraid of what you can't see
āØDon't run away it's only me . . .
Don't be afraid of what you can't see

Hold You
03:59
|
|||
Guess I never really wondered where we were going
Or how goddamn far that place would be from here
The conversation's wrong
Been going on for far too long
We're both waiting for some kind of miracle to come along
Why won't you say you love me?
Don't You know I love you
Why won't you say you needed me too?
When Ill I wanted was to
Hold you, sweetly but darling
Its the only thing Ill never be able to do ever again
All we leave behind are sad old songs about loss and regret
When all I wanted was to hold you sweetly again
Now we sleep miles apart
Stuck between these bed side tables
Saying we'll be better and we're doing what we're able
Why won't you say you love me?
Don't You know I love you
Why won't you say you needed me too?
When Ill I wanted was to
Hold you, sweetly but darling
Its the only thing Ill never be able to do ever again
All we leave behind are sad old songs about loss and regret
When all I wanted was to hold you sweetly again

Rude Skank

A promise means nothing after midnight
After we've both had too much to drink
So come on, come on and dance a little closer
And don't you promise me a god damn thing
It's just a good time
Cuz' I just need you for the night
So quit telling me all them lies
There aint nothing between the lines its just a good time

Hugo

Hugo there is no way to get to heather
There is a way to make it better
Just forget that stupid bitch
Hugo you're gonna make it thru the day
We'll make sure everything's okay now
Go and play now with your new friends
Hugo there is one thing that you should know now
There is a place that you can go to
Just to break thru another day
Hugo you know it really isn't broken
Spit out the nails that have been spoken
Now start choking on your own spit

Stop the Presses
04:10
|
|||
Headlines, deadlines, terror at the border lines
Wheres the news about fraud up in these voter lines?
The lies your spreading, the beds they wetting
We're ready to throw this whole thing out
Progress, what progress?
Who's the boss of all of us?
Wiggle the wand now you're gone
Print the victories, the histories made about the heroes we know will try to stop the lies you push on I and I
We don't need no revolution
No changes to our constitution
Stop the Presses, we're gonna
Stop the Presses
Failing, trailing, insatiable and slanderous
Wiggle the pen, now your dead
Take the families, the tragedies back to where they ought to be
Keep the peace and print the truth we want you to instead
Money in the Bank keep swimming
Don't you wanna keep tradition?

Finish Last
03:55
|
|||
Not everyone wins
Iād rather finish last with you
It hurts but Iāll live
We could be happy, just us two
Please hold out your hand
Iāll give you my heart
It never comes to an end
when we live each day like itās the start
Donāt want this moment to end
Like itās the start
Donāt let go of my hand
These days seem so long
Tired and broken, me and you
We keep pushing on
Thinking weāll finally finish soon
Iāve given my heart
Will you please take good care of me
Of me
And promise me that youāll never leave
Donāt want this moment to end
Donāt let go of my hand....
(If we keep it going,
keep it steady rocking on,
We might finally be,
We might finally be free)
Start all over again
Donāt want this moment to end
If we keep it going,
Keep it steady rocking on,
We might finally be,
We might finally be free
Donāt ever let go, Baby
Iād rather finish last with you
