Ticket to Immortality
Fists up in our faces. How did we end up here? Standing in policed lines – don’t you know who I am? I hang out with all the pariahs; everyone is almost done with me. This will be our name, this will be our name. So listen: the buck stops here or I’m gonna lose it now.
“M…A…L… is that too personal? Gimmie an M! A! L! We’re international!”
I hang out with all the pariahs; everyone is almost done with me. I hang out with nothing but pariahs; everyone has had their fun with me but the world is really gonna love you. The world is really gonna love you. The world loves you.
Death Or Life We Want You
I want your body. I want your brains. I want your soul – brother – on a thirsty desert plain or maybe even in the jungle, face down in a lagoon. Or eternal fire with your best friends, if there’s any room. Nobody wants you but we want you. Just when you think you’ve had enough, here comes more death from up above.
“We can’t go home ‘til we know we’re gonna win”
“We’re gonna win!”
Nobody wants you. But we want you.
Hate Then Love
All your time is gone, along with everything you love, forever. You could try to break my heart. It’ll never be enough. You could try to burn this heart to the ground. It just won’t be enough. They worked so hard to destroy what’s left of our lives. We’re gonna take it all, we’re gonna take it all to town. You could try to break my heart. It’ll never be enough. Surely you’ve tried to wreck this heart, but it’s just a little bit too tough. We’ll find our place in the world; it’ll take all day and all night. We’ll find our place in the world, if it takes all day and all night.
“’Til your last breath you will hate this heart! Just don’t hate everyone ‘cause you hate yourself. And you’ll hate everyone ‘til there’s no one else.”
“I believe! I believe! I believe in love! I swear, I swear, I swear it to you!”
There Goes My Outfit
“Alright, alright, already. You got me. Broke inside and took it all away. Had a speech prepared and everything.”
Tapped phone calls from God.
And now I’ve found a new direction. Being born is really such a chore. Some of us out here don’t know s**t, some of us don’t even want to know. Clearly this is my life. There goes, there goes, there goes my outfit. And I was only trying to help. I was only trying to help.
“Just admit – I’ve got you by the lapels…”
They trashed me over, over and again. You stood there and you said nothing. That’s what shattered my heart to bits. Clearly this isn’t my life; I’m in the dirt and in the gutter. I’ve got mud and blood all over my face. Clearly this isn’t my life.
“There goes! There goes! There goes, there goes, there goes my outfit!”
And I was only trying to help. Clearly this isn’t my life. Clearly this can’t be my life.
Bandwagoneers
This was a mistake, yet another horrible mistake. We’ve more than settled here, waging war, inciting fear. I’m trying to remember, just trying to remember. We are feeling so alone. We are feeling so erroneously unknown and I know what we have here. Yes, I know that we’ve got the best thing going on. I’m trying to remember, just trying to remember when we had control and when we let it go. Why can’t everyone live out happily ever after? This ain’t healthy. Don’t fall to pieces on me now. I’m trying to remember, just trying to remember. Heaven knows all our mistakes, heaven knows that we’re mistaken. Heaven knows that I’m a fake, heaven knows that we’re all faking it – everything we are.
Fear Made The World Go ‘Round
You’re trying to pretend to love all the people that you think are beneath you. There is no known doubt that they’ve got guns in their hands. See, the whole world lives in fear. I know it, I know it, I know it, I know it, I know, I know in my bones. No; it’s not a question of ‘loss,’ it’s not a question of ‘win’. Never mind the cost or even how we gave in. Now I don’t want you to feel so bad, that’s not what I want. We’ll be okay. We’re all okay.
You And I Are A Gang of Losers
Every single one of us is getting massacred on a frozen path. Fever comes to wipe us out and scratch a name off of the list. You and I are on the outside of almost everything. You and I are on the other side of almost everything. They were slurring words and acting like a bunch of animals every given day. Never read, or hardly wrote, but signed and ‘X’ once – in blood. You and I are on the outside of almost everything. You and I are on the other side of almost everything. We, we’ve got the same heart.
Whites Only Party
“I wanna know how you did it. You waltzed right past the door while we struggle here at the gates; we can’t get through!”
We could’ve followed you and maybe looked liked fools, but who cares? We’d still be true. We ain’t here to steal your women. Well, at least that wasn’t the plan – there’s that closet smell. Think you’ve been inside there too long, you’re almost mystical. And I’m impossible. We need a miracle.
“Don’t say I’m paranoid, it’s more like just annoyed, maybe a bit destroyed.
“A bit destroyed?”
“There’s nowhere left for us to run…”
“But our time is sure as hell to come and life has just begun. It’s just begun.”
Ballad of Humankindness
Well I thought that we all cared
About peace
And I thought that we’d all cry
About love and loss
And I thought that we were somehow holding on
But I’m just standing here
No one should have to live all of their life
on their own
Every time I think about what I can do
It just slips away
And every time I think that we can make things work well it
Just slips away
I turn on the news and there’s always some dude
who’s relentlessly bringing me down
Telling me how there are too many dark people out there
who’ll never be found
No one should have to live all of their life
on the run
And I can’t believe the vast amounts of people living on the streets
And I can’t believe that I was almost one of them and I almost died
And I can’t believe I haven’t lent a hand
That I’m just standing here
Well I’m gonna change I’m gonna change
I’m gonna change I’m gonna change
I’m gonna change I’m gonna change
I’m gonna change I’m gonna change
I’m gonna change
No one should have to live all of their life
on their own
No one should have to live all of their life alone
I Fell Deep
I fell deep through the holes of your eyes and what I found resembled dollar signs. The kind of hell I’m in ain’t enough to keep me down. Still cry and I cry and I cry ‘cause there is no turning back. I said, “I cry and I cry and I cry ‘cause there is no turning back.”
“What’s this that you have? You can’t expect for us to raise a finger for no cash. Take this hall turn to the left and follow the signs.”
Find out what we’re not supposed to know.
“Those doors are locked from the outside…”
But don’t let that stop you from busting out
We’re busting out!
Find Our Way To Freedom
This is the last breath I can spare
And I don’t really want to say
Something awful
I won’t hear the end of it
This is the last breath I can spare
And I don’t know if I would share
Consequential feelings
Even if I could
Everyone’s so tough but everyone’s heard enough about what’s inside the mind of psycho. There is a path. I want, I wanna have it, lucky foot of a rabbit. Alas, people ain’t worth their salt.
“Force of a f***ing habit? Maybe some kind of magic? I’m sick of all this talk. Everyone’s sooooo smart. Yet everyone’s in the dark about what’s inside the heart of an angel.”
There is a path.
This is the last breath I can spare
And I don’t care enough to say
Something awful ‘cause I’ve really had my fill
“I need this song and I need you. Just don’t ask of me to choose.”
