Land Of Confusion
I must’ve dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They’re moving into the streetNow did you read the news today
They say the danger’s gone away
But I can see the fire’s still alight
They’re burning into the nightThere’s too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can’t you see
This is the land of confusionWell this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth living inOh Superman where are you now
When everything’s gone wrong somehow
The men of steel
Men of power
Are losing control by the hourThis is the time
This is the place
So we look for the future
But there’s not much love to go round
Tell me why
This is a land of confusionThis is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth living inI remember long ago
Oh when the sun was shining
Yes and the stars were bright
All through the night
And the sound of your laughter
As I held you tight
So long ago..I won’t be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We’re not just making promises
That we know
We’ll never keepToo many men
There’s too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go round
Can’t you see
This is the land of confusionNow this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth fighting forThis is the world we live in
And these are the names we’re given
Stand up and let’s start showing
Just where our lives are going to…Genesis
JESUS OF SUBURBIA /
City Of The Damned / I Don’t Care /
Dearly Beloved / Tales Of Another Broken HomeI’m the son of rage and love
The Jesus of Suburbia
The bible of none of the above
On a steady diet of
Soda pop and Ritalin
No one ever died for my
Sins in hell
As far as I can tell
At least the ones I got away with
And there’s nothing wrong with me
This is how I’m supposed to be
In a land of make believe
That don’t believe in meGet my television fix
Sitting on my crucifix
The living room or my private womb
While the moms and brats are away
To fall in love and fall in debt
To alcohol and cigarettes
And Mary Jane
To keep me insane
Doing someone else’s cocaine
And there’s nothing wrong with me
This is how I’m supposed to be
In a land of make believe
That don’t believe in meAt the centre of the Earth
In the parking lot
Of the 7-11 where I was taught
The motto was just a lie
It says home is where your heart is
But what a shame
Cause everyone’s heart
Doesn’t beat the same
It’s beating out of timeCity of the dead
At the end of another lost highway
Signs misleading to nowhere
City of the damned
Lost children with dirty faces today
No one really seems to careI read the graffiti
In the bathroom stall
Like the holy scriptures of a shopping mall
And so it seemed to confess
It didn’t say much
But it only confirmed that
The centre of the earth
Is the end of the world
And I could really care lessCity of the dead
At the end of another lost highway
Signs misleading to nowhere
City of the damned
Lost children with dirty faces today
No one really seems to care………………………………………………………………………………I don’t care if you don’t
I don’t care if you don’t
I don’t care if you don’t careI don’t care if you don’t
I don’t care if you don’t
I don’t care if you don’t careI don’t care if you don’t
I don’t care if you don’t
I don’t care if you don’t careI don’t care if you don’t
I don’t care if you don’t
I don’t care if you don’t careAnd I don’t care……………………………………………………………………………………………..
Everyone is so full of sh.it
Born and raised by hypocrites
Hearts recycled but never saved
From the cradle to the grave
We are the kids of war and peace
From Anaheim to the Middle East
We are the stories and disciples of
The Jesus of suburbia
Land of make believe
And they don’t believe in me
Land of make believe
And I don’t believe
And I don’t care!
I don’t care!
I don’t care!
I don’t care!
I don’t care!Dearly beloved are you listening?
I can’t remember a word that you were saying
Are we demented or am I disturbed?
The space that’s in between insane and insecureOh therapy can you please fill the void?
Am I retarded or am I just overjoyed
Nobody’s perfect and I stand accused
For lack of a better word and that’s my best excuseTo live and not to breathe
Is to die In tragedy
To run
To run away
To find what you believe
And I leave behind
This hurricane of fuc.king lies
I lost my faith to this
This town that don’t exist
So I run
I run away
To the light of masochist
And I leave behind
This hurricane of fuc.king lies
And I walked this line
A million and one fuc.king timesBut not this time
I don’t feel any shame
I won’t apologise
When there ain’t nowhere you can go
Running away from pain
When you’ve been victimised
Tales from another broken..Home
You’re leaving…
You’re leaving…
You’re leaving…
Ah you’re leaving home…Green Day
Left on an eastbound train
Gone first thing this morning
Why is what’s best for you
Always the worst thing for me
When am I gonna learn
Why cuz I’m tired of hating
When will it be your turn
Why cuz I’m tired of waitingNo, I don’t, no I don’t, no I don’t
Well no I don’t find faith in your forced feelings
Not fooled by your misleading
Won’t buy this line you’re selling
Tired of this lie you’re telling
I won’t, I don’t
No I won’t do this anymoreShe says I’m only tellin half of it
That’s probably cause,
There’s only half worth tellin
Every time I try to laugh it off
That’s when you turn around
And wind up yellin
When am I gonna learn
Why cuz I’m tired of hating
When will it be your turn
Why cuz I’m tired of waitingNo, no I don’t, no I don’t, no I don’t
No I don’t find faith in your false feelings
Not fooled by your misleadings
Won’t buy this line your selling
Tired of this lie you’re telling

No I won’t do this anymoreSays I’m only tellin half of it
That’s probably cause,
There’s only half worth tellin
Every time I try to laugh it off
That’s when you turn around
And wind up yellin
When am I gonna learn
Why cuz I’m tired of waiting
When will it be your turn
Why cuz I’m tired of hatingNo, I don’t, no I don’t, no I don’t
No I don’t find faith in your false feelings
Not fooled by your misleadings
Won’t buy this line your selling
Tired of this lie you’re telling
i won’t i don’t
No I won’t do this anymoreThere’s another world inside of me
That you may never see
There’s secrets in this life
That I can’t hide
Somewhere in this darkness
There’s a light that I can’t find
Maybe it’s too far away…
Maybe I’m just blind…Maybe I’m just blind…
[chorus]
So hold me when I’m here
Right me when I’m wrong
Hold me when I’m scared
And love me when I’m gone
Everything I am
And everything you need
I’ll also be the one
You wanted me to be
I’ll never let you down
Even if I could
I’d give up everything
If only for your good
So hold me when I’m here
Right me when I’m wrong
You can hold me when I’m scared
You won’t always be there
So love me when I’m gone
[end chorus]Love me when I’m gone…
When your education x-ray
Can not see under my skin
I won’t tell you a damn thing
That I could not tell my friends
Roaming through this darkness
I’m alive but I’m alone
Part of me is fighting this
But part of me is gone[chorus]
Maybe I’m just blind…
[chorus]
Love me when I’m gone…
Love me when I’m gone
When I’m Gone
When I’m Gone
When I’m GoneThe Fratellis
Whistle for The ChoirWell it’s a big big city and it’s always the same
Can never be too pretty tell me you your name
Is it out of line if I were so bold to say “Would you be mine”?Because I may be a beggar and you maybe the queen
I know I maybe on a downer am still ready to dream
Now it’s 3 o’clock time it takes for you to talkSo if you’re lonely why’d you say your not lonely
Oh your a silly girl, I know I hurt it so
It’s just like you to come
And go you know me no you don’t even know me
Your so sweet to try, oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you’s just irresistibleWell it’s a big big city and the lights are all out
But it’s much as I can do you know to figure you out
And I must confess, my hearts in broken pieces
And my heads a mess
And it’s 4 in the morning, and I’m walking along
Beside the ghost of every drinker here who has ever done wrong
And it’s you, woo hoo
That’s got me going crazy for the things you doSo if your crazy I don’t care you amaze me
Oh your a stupid girl, oh me, oh my, you talk
I die, you smile, you laugh, I cry
And only, a girl like you could be lonely
And it’s a crying shame, if you would think the same
A boy like me’s just irresistibleSo if your lonely, why’d you say you’re not lonely
Oh your a silly girl, I know I hurt it so
It’s just like you to come and go
And know me, no you don’t even know me
Your so sweet to try oh my, you caught my eye
A girl like you’s just irresistibleThrew some chords together
The combination D-E-F
Is who I am, is what I do
No one’s gonna let it down for you
Try to focus my attention
But I feel so A-D-D
I need some help, some inspiration
(But it’s not coming easily)
Whoa oh…Trying to find the magic
Trying to write a classic
Don’t you know, don’t you know, don’t you know?
Waste-bin full of paper
Clever rhymes, see you laterThese words are my own
From my heart flow
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
There’s no other way
To better say
I love you, I love you…Read some Byron, Shelly and Keats
Recited it over a Hip-Hop beat
I’m having trouble saying what I mean
With dead poets and drum machine
I know I had some studio time booked
But I couldn’t find the killer hook
Now you’re gonna raise the bar right up
Nothing I write is ever good enoughThese words are my own
From my heart flow
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
There’s no other way
To better say
I love you, I love you…I’m getting off my stage
The curtains pull away
No hyperbole to hide behind
My naked soul exposes
Whoa.. oh.. oh.. oh.. Whoa.. oh..Trying to find the magic
Trying to write a classic
Waste-bin full of paper
Clever rhymes, see you laterThese words are my own
From my heart flow
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
There’s no other way
To better say
I love you…
I love you, is that okay…?Rocky Took A Lover
He said
“I wanna shine in the eye of Orion
But I drove my soul through the Black Hole!”She said
“That’s a wonderful way to wake me
But you weren’t so nice last night
You’re such an as.shole when you’re drunk”He said
“At least I’m OK in the mornings”He said
“The three wise men came a long way
Following that pin hole in the sky
Yeah that one right there”She said
“I don’t believe in any old Jesus
If there was a God
Then why is my ar.se
The perfect height for kicking?”He said
“I’ll shine for you
I’ll burn for you”
He said
“I’ll shine for you
That’s what I’ll do”He said
“They’re like headlights
In the rear view mirror
They’re closer than they seem
And from this gutter we’re still staring at the stars”She said
“Would ya go away and sh.ite
Last night all you did was curse those stars
‘Cause they sang to you of hope”He said
“The sun gives life
And it takes it away
But like all the greats
It’ll burn out someday”She said
“I don’t mind
I don’t want to get bored
I don’t want to end up beached on this shore
I want to be that star
I want to be that star
I want to be that star
I want to be that starAnd then I can shine for you
And then I’ll burn for you
I’ll shine for you
That’s what I’ll doThat’s what I’ll do
That’s what I’ll do”

Bad Skin Day
When I wake in the morning
Of a bad skin day
And I can’t face my lover
On a bad skin day
Am I this alone?
Volcano has erupted
And the ash sails down
And I’m a poor soul of Pompeii
Oh Christ I’m such a drama queen
On a bad skin dayAnd you’re far from me
You’re all far from me
Right where I want you to be
Far from meI could’ve got a job
I could’ve been a contender ..When I never..
Because the streak is only so long
They’re all different shades
Of the same song
There’s a wind in these sails..Feels like I’m always waiting..
For the gold in them there hills .. Feels like I’m never leading..
Them there hills.. Feels like I’m never leading..And they’re far from me
Someday we’ll all wear a crown
Far from me
Someday we’ll be the fairest of them all
No far from me
Someday we’ll have an open top bus parade
Far from me
Someday we’ll do the whole sorry charadeIt feels like we’re always waiting
It feels like we’re never leading
It feels like we’re always waiting
It feels like we’re never leading
It feels like we’re always waiting
It feels like we’re never leading
It feels like we’re always waiting
It feels like we’re never leadingFar from me
Someday we’ll all wear a crown
Far from me
Someday we’ll be the fairest of them all
No far from me
Someday we’ll have an open top bus parade
Far from me
Someday we’ll do the whole sorry charade
Far from me
Someday we’ll all wear a crown
Far from me
Someday we’ll be the fairest of them all
So far from me
Someday we’ll have an open top bus parade
Far from me
Someday we’ll do the whole sorry charadeFeels like we’re always waiting
Feels like we’re never leading
Feels like we’re never leading
Feels like we’re never leadingBell X1
What does
your love mean to me
its something i can’t answer easily
just like the air that i breathe
you fill me up inside, you give me all that i need
like a bird flying high on a summers day
you’re the wind that carries me away
to a place where you and i will always stay foreverchorus:
if i never get to heaven then at least i will have known
i had an angel here on earth that I could call my very own
and if this world should end tomorrow,boy this much i know is true
i found my piece of heaven the day that i found youverse 2:
longer than poets will rhyme
boy my love will burn for you until the end of time
if i should die before tomorrow comes
i wont regret a single day, because i had your love
must be somethin in the way you say my name
it takes away my worries and my pain
boy i know we’llmake it through the rain togetherchorus:
if i never get to heaven then at least i will have known

like the sun will rise in the morning sky

I want to see your face in every kind of light
In fields of dawn and forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you makeWhat are you doing the rest of your life?
North and South and East and West of your life
I have only one request of your life
That you spend it all with meAll the seasons and the times of your days
All the nickels and the dimes of your days
Let the reasons and the rhymes of your days
All begin and end with meI want to see your face in every kind of light
In the fields of dawn and the forests of the night
And when you stand before the candles on a cake
Oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you makeThose tomorrows waiting deep in your eyes
In the world of love that you keep in your eyes
I’ll awaken what’s asleep in your eyes
It may take a kiss or twoThrough all of my life
Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall of my life
All I ever will recall of my life
Is all of my life with you
