[Tune the electric bass to the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th string]
GO!

The boy′s no good.
Yeah, he′s a fuckin′ hood.
He won′t treat you like he should.
I heard he′s making time with this friend of mine.
I heard he′s talking trash.
I saw that kid last night.
He′s starting fights.
He′s got that nervous twitching.
He′s just not the kid for you.
He′s all dressed up.
He′s got nothing to do, but he′s got something.
He′s cool as anything, but he′s not good.
That boy′s a fucking creep.

The boy′s no good.
Yeah, he′s a hood.
He won′t treat you like he should.
I said the boy′s no good.
He′s a hood.
He won′t treat you like I would.
I said the boy′s no good.
Listen to what I say.
The boy′s no good.
He′ll fuck you anyway.
The boy′s no good.
I′m gonna have a talk the boy′s no good.
The boy′s no fuckin′ good.

Текст песни:

A sinking ship, an awkward kiss
A chance to set things straight
The kind of hurt that burns and burns
Like fires we can′t contain

We hole up in a shelter made of bones and ice and there we′ll wait
So start again with steady hands
This time nothing gets in our way
But as we peer a little closer what do we see ?

A crack in the surface
A flaw in the plan
(Plans we made together, almost buried in the sand)
A cadence imperfect
Like a building condemned
(Can we indemnify ourselves if we don′t face what we′re against)

A promise kept
The dirt unswept
A poorly worn disguise
A child unloved that then grows up
To love what we despise

We′re broken but still breathing
We are wounded but we are healing
We pick up right where we left off
Breathe on the ashes that remain

So that these coals may become fire
To guide our way

A crack in the surface
A flaw in the plan
(Plans we made together, almost buried in the sand)
A cadence imperfect
Like a building condemned
(Can we indemnify ourselves if we don′t face what we′re against)

I walk on wounds
That seldom prove to slow me down
I laugh this constant pain away
So you can′t tell
But there it lies under the smiles
It drains me mile after mile
But seldom proves to slow me down
Here I go

Should we just hold on
To what remains of
What we thought was lost

But it′s just a crack in the surface
A flaw in the plan
(Plans we made together, almost buried in the sand)
A cadence imperfect
Like a building condemned
(Can we indemnify ourselves if we don′t face what we′re against)

Текст песни:

All these days
I′ll forever cherish
In the confines of my heart
The faces of ten years ago
Like fingerprints on my heart
How can I breathe?
When fear chokes my every breath?
How can I balance?
Six inches from death?

Now, the momentum we′ve created
Comes to a screeching halt
This angel comes crashing down
On her hands and knees she crawls
How can I breathe?
When fear chokes my every breath?
How many of your lies
Will I be fed?

The remains of summer memories
Spent so far away
Free from the fear or jealousy
That plagues our lives today
Now that promises we′re broken
Enemies were made
We spend our precious time pointing fingers
Trying to place the blame

The remains of what′s left
Of our past
Of a future yet to come
Of the battles that we′ve lost
And the fights that we have won

Текст песни:

Can you hear the desperate cries?
That are calling out your name?
Twisting your arms, holding out their hands
And tugging at your sleeve
Do you feel this underlying sense of urgency?
Or are you as blind as me?

I hit the ground and I′m still running but I need a place to stay tonight,
I swear I′ll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere now

I can′t bear the thought of losing,
I dread the attention winning brings
And ever since the day I came here
I can stand without your strings
I′m so sick of all these people
But I′m scared to be alone
And if this life has taught me anything
I forgot it long ago

And so I hit the ground and I′m still running but I need a place to stay tonight,
I swear I′ll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes
Hit the ground and I′m still running but I need a place to stay tonight,
I swear I′ll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes

The heart is something you can′t control
We either choose to follow or be left on our own
So we′re leaving here on a less-travelled road
As desperate cries grow louder, I know we′re getting close, getting close

And so I hit the ground and I′m still running but I need a place to stay tonight,
I swear I′ll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes
Hit the ground and I′m still running but I need a place to stay tonight,
I swear I′ll be gone in the morning I just need somewhere warm to close my eyes

Текст песни:

It′s all the same thing
Now that it ever was
Except now you′ve strayed too far
Need you to stop digging your hole
And follow the path we light
Don’t need an invitation to be reconciled
′Cause these home fires are burning
Stare into your empty eyes and wonder...
"How could something so right (woah oh) turn out so wrong?"
You spent your time making excuses
For the ways of life that you are choosing
"How could something so right (woah oh) turn out so wrong?"
Not sure exactly where I am

The more we organize
We suck out this life that serves as the fuel behind
You wanna take the passion in my veins
And put it down in black & white
You’ve got your foot directly on the gas
I watch you burn out so fast
Now I can see just what you′ve become
And "How could something so right (woah oh) turn out so wrong?"
I don′t have a backup plan
This is all that I am
And "How could something so right (woah oh) turn out so wrong?"
Not sure exactly where I am

(One!) one thousand
(Good!) intentions
(Lost!) translation
(Lost!) forever

(One!) one thousand
(Good!) intentions
(Lost!) translation
(Lost!) forever lost

"How could something so right (woah oh) turn out so wrong?"
I don′t have a backup plan
This is all that I am
And "How could something so right (woah oh) turn out so wrong?"
Not sure exactly where I am
Where I am

Текст песни:

When faith alone is not enough,
To keep our heads barely above,
We look for reason and come up empty-handed.
And when our children fight our wars,
While we sit back just keeping score,
We′re teaching murder not understanding now.

We′re setting the fires to light the way,
We′re burning it all to begin again,
With hope in our hearts and bricks in our hands,
We sing for change

The lives our buried sons have laid,
Won′t cancel debts we′ve yet to pay,
In death, we justify anything now,
As long as we blindly obey and do exactly what they say,
We′ll have no one to blame, but ourselves now.

We′re setting the fires to light the way,
We′re burning it all to begin again,
With hope in our hearts and bricks in our hands,
We sing for change.

We run on the fumes of injustice,
We′ll never die with the fuel that you give us,
Keep it coming ′cause I′m prepared to burn,
Keep running, find me at every turn.

Your life around,
(into something true, into something true)
So turn your life around,
(into something true, something true)

We′re setting the fires to light the way,
We′re burning it all to begin again,
With hope in our hearts and bricks in our hands,
We sing for change.

Текст песни:

He said "Son, have you seen the world?
Well, what would you say if I said that you could?
Just carry this gun and you′ll even get paid."
I said "That sounds pretty good."

Black leather boots
Spit-shined so bright
They cut off my hair but it looked alright
We marched and we sang
We all became friends
As we learned how to fight

A hero of war
Yeah that′s what I′ll be
And when I come home
They′ll be damn proud of me
I′ll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it′s a flag that I love
And a flag that I trust

I kicked in the door
I yelled my commands
The children, they cried
But I got my man
We took him away
A bag over his face
From his family and his friends

They took off his clothes
They pissed in his hands
I told them to stop
But then I joined in
We beat him with guns
And batons not just once
But again and again

A hero of war
Yeah that′s what I′ll be
And when I come home
They′ll be damn proud of me
I′ll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it′s a flag that I love
And a flag that I trust

She walked through bullets and haze
I asked her to stop
I begged her to stay
But she pressed on
So I lifted my gun
And I fired away

The shells jumped through the smoke
And into the sand
That the blood now had soaked
She collapsed with a flag in her hand
A flag white as snow

A hero of war
Is that what they see
Just medals and scars
So damn proud of me
And I brought home that flag
Now it gathers dust
But it′s a flag that I love
It′s the only flag I trust

He said, "Son, have you seen the world?
Well what would you say, if I said that you could?"

Текст песни:

The years unfold in one moment
The voices that we heard so loud
Are now suddenly silenced
Inside this crowd

And you′re surrounded by the lives
Of those who found something to hold
So bringing everybody down
Is all you know

You’ve been hiding so long
You can′t find yourself
In this sheltered life you live
When everything you want is at your fingertips
You’ll never know what need is

You’re claiming to be something different
So wanting to believe
That you′re better than the rest
To make up for your self-esteem
You talk to hear your own voice and
You’ve left me no choice but to choose
I miss the person that you were
But I don′t miss you

You’ve been hiding so long
You can′t find yourself
In this sheltered life you live
When everything you want is at your fingertips
You’ll never know what need is

You’re the new revolution
The angst-filled adolescent
You fit the stereotype well

1, 2, 3, Go!

You’re the new revolution
The angst-filled adolescent
You fit the stereotype well
[Repeat to fade]

@ Rise Against

Текст песни:

Speak with hesitation
Talk with reservation
Blood on your hands dried long since
But guilt still glowing in your eyes

You hide behind
(And now this blood has long since dried)
Your perfect crime
(Guilt still glowing in your eyes)
Never ask why you lie

Now I′ve watched you

Stack the mistakes you′ve made on top
Of the lies to hide them
Your excuses just don′t add up
Empty handed we all wonder why

You hide behind
(And now this blood has long since dried)
Your perfect crime
(Guilt still glowing in your eyes)
Never ask why you lie

Now I know that
Your words
Your actions
Intentions all were lies
Your heart grows heavier with time
(And now this blood has long since dried!)
Have I said enough?
Have I said too much?
Is it your responsibility to decide?
You’re heart grows heavier with time
(I will decide!)
And I fell victim to the changing tide
And this blood has long since dried
This blood has long since dried

Текст песни:

We′ve been alright up until now,
But the air that we breathe is about to run out.
We′ve rehearsed our lines clear and loud,
But the cue never came and the lights,
They never went down.
So we′re passing the time,
While time passes us.
The fast lanes a term never applied to us.
Without a dime to my name,
Or a prayer in the world.
I walk out the door.

Destination anywhere but here.
Away from you.

Now I′m on my way to the other side,
(On my way)
I′ll forget everything I left behind.
(On my way)
These empty rooms,
(On my way)
Are still filled with you.
(On my way)

So I dropped out of my own race,
A race with no finish line,
No first or last place.
These faces all rush right past me.
I turn and walk away,
Cause we finally know now what our
Time here′s about, we were not meant to be
Another face in the crowd.
We′re a forest of lives,
But we grow tall and wide.
We′ll never be cut down.

Destination anywhere but here.
Away from you.

Now I′m on my way to the other side,
(On my way)
I′ll forget everything I left behind.
(On my way)
These empty rooms,
(On my way)
Are still filled with you.
(On my way)

I′m so tired and turned around and scared.
I′m lying in empty beds again.
I′ll wait for you to come
To your senses, barbed-wire fences
Won’t keep me from breaking through.
I swear I will to you.

Now I′m on my way to the other side,
(On my way)
I′ll forget everything I left behind.
(On my way)
These empty rooms,
(On my way)
Are still filled with you.
(On my way)

I′m so tired and turned around and scared.
I′m lying in empty beds again.
Away from you.

Текст песни:

Our buildings have fallen, our walls all caved in,
And we can′t comprehend this sad state that we′re in
So we sift through the ashes of what we′ve become
And surrender here one by one, so push us down

And we get right back up again,
The things you′re telling me aren′t making any sense,
Right back up again,
I′m sick of wishing for someone else to come

Let the blind lead the blind,
Cause its eye for an eye
In your so called life,
Are you out there? Are you listening?
Is there something we′re still missing?

Let the blind lead the blind,
Cause it′s eye for an eye,
We all fall down

And we get right back up again,
The things you′re telling me aren′t making any sense,
Right back up again,
I′m sick of wishing for someone else to come

We′re spinning out of control
We’re trying to find somewhere to land
And I don′t want you to know
The things that keep me down

Cause we get right back up again,
The things you′re telling me aren′t making any sense,
Right back up again,
I′m sick of wishing for someone else to come

Текст песни:

Even though we know, yeah,
We know,
Our time has almost come,
We′re all overdue.
Can there be a place to call our own?
Can there be a road that takes us home?

We toe the line (toe the line).
We go along (we go along).
We toe the line
To you now.

When it rains it pours
Like summer storms, the skies as grey as leaves.
The rivers flood the banks and spill into the streets.
But the people laughed and swore that they′d restore
The city piece by piece.
And then the clouds gave way as if to agree;
When it rains it pours.

The mystery unknown now unfolds,
The life that we once owned, first bought, then sold.
Like messengers of war, we′ve no control.
To oceans unexplored,
This ship sails through.

We toe the line (toe the line).
We go along (we go along).
We toe the line
To you now.

When it rains it pours
Like summer storms, the skies as grey as leaves.
The rivers flood the banks and spill into the streets.
But the people laughed and swore that they′d restore
The city piece by piece.
And then the clouds gave way as if to agree;
When it rains it pours.
It pours.
(It pours).

When it rains it pours,
When they die we mourn,
When it hit, we swore,
Now we want not more.
Like a saint re-born,
Like a rose in a storm,
Like a child un-born,
A child un-born...

It′s the coin we′re tossing into the well,
It′s misfortune that we could not foretell,
It′s the dry spell.

When it rains it pours
Like summer storms, the skies as grey as leaves.
The rivers flood the banks and spill into the streets.
But the people laughed and swore that they′d restore
The city piece by piece.
And then the clouds gave way as if to agree;
When it rains it pours.
It pours,
When it rains it pours.

Текст песни:

It kills me not to know this but I′ve all but just forgotten
What the color of her eyes were and her scars or how she got them
As the telling signs of age rain down a single tear is dropping
Through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten
There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place
And there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds
But seldom do these words ring true when I′m constantly failing you
Like walls that we just can′t break through until we disappear

So tell me now
If this ain′t love then how do we get out?
Because I don′t know
That′s when she said I don′t hate you boy
I just want to save you while there′s still something left to save
That′s when I told her I love you girl
But I′m not the answer for the questions that you still have

But the day pressed on like crushing weights
For no man does it ever wait
Like memories of dying days
That deafen us like hurricanes
Bathed in flames we held the brand
Uncurled the fingers in your hand
Pressed into the flesh like sand
Now do you understand?

So tell me now
If this ain′t love then how do we get out?
Because I don′t know
That′s when she said I don′t hate you boy
I just want to save you while there′s still something left to save
That′s when I told her I love you girl
But I′m not the answer for the questions that you still have

1000 miles away
There′s nothing left to say
But so much left that I don′t know
We never had a choice
This world is too much noise
It takes me under
It takes me under once again
I don′t hate you
I don′t hate you, no

So tell me now
If this ain′t love then how do we get out?
Because I don′t know
That′s when she said I don′t hate you boy
I just want to save you while there′s still something left to save
That′s when I told her I love you girl
But I′m not the answer for the questions that you still have

(I don′t hate you)3x
I don′t hate you, no

Текст песни:

Someday I′ll feel no pain
Someday I won′t have a brain
They′ll take away the part that hurts
And let the rest remain

Fix me
Fix my head
Fix me please,
I don′t wanna be dead

Someday we′ll all be rich
Someday I won′t listen to you bitch
I′ll turn up the volume and you
Can hear all the shit we play just for you

Fix me
Fix my head
Fix me please,
I don′t wanna be dead

Someday I′ll feel no pain
Someday I won′t have a brain
They′ll take away the part that hurts
And let the rest remain

Fix me
Fix my head
Fix me please,
I don′t wanna be dead
Fix it!

Текст песни:

Down beyond these city streets through gutters filled with black debris
In alleys void of any light where nameless things live out of sight
Down through the scrapers of the sky past neon words glowing all night
Echoes my name between each car, "Are you happy where you are?"

Blind to this impending fate
We let the world carry our weight
Its back breaks with every mile
But we all live in denial

Can we be saved? Has the damage all been done?
Is it too late to reverse what we′ve become?
A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time
What′s mine was always yours, and yours is mine

Let′s go!

And so we carry on each day as if our lives are not so grey
While every breath that we take, we only suffocate
Brush past a myriad of scenes a homeless vet crashed
On Wall Street, a single mom of three, a TV personality

I′m blind to this impending fate
They let the world carry their weight
Its back breaks with every mile
But they all live in denial

Can we be saved? Has the damage all been done?
Is it too late to reverse what we′ve become?
A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time
What′s mine was always yours, and yours is mine

Save us from what we have become tonight
Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right

Save us from what we have become tonight
Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right

Save us from what we have become tonight
Eyes glazed with distrust, no sense of wrong or right

Can we be saved? Has the damage all been done?
Is it too late to reverse what we′ve become?
A lesson to learn at a crucial point in time
What′s mine was always yours, and yours is mine!

Текст песни:

Do you spend your days counting the hours you′re awake?
And when night covers the sky you find yourself doing the same
There′s a burden you′ve been bearing in spite of all your prayers
There′s a light turned off inside your heart
Can you remember what it′s like to care?

Knees are weak, hands are shaking, I can′t breathe

So give me the drug, keep me alive
Give me what′s left of my life
Don′t let me go, whooaa
Pull this plug, let me breathe
On my own, I′m finally free
Don′t let me go, whooaa

The trail of crumbs you left somehow got lost along the way
If you never meant to leave then you only had to stay
But the memories that haunt us are cherished just the same
As the ones that bring us closer to the sky, no matter how grey
And yet I fall, through these clouds, reaching, screaming

Give me the drug, keep me alive
Give me what′s left of my life
Don′t let me go, whooaa
Pull this plug, let me breathe
On my own, I′m finally free
Don′t let me go, whooaa

This grip loosens but it never breaks
(NEVER BREAKS!)
We carry nothing but a name you will forsake
Your words are always there to break my fall
(BREAK MY FALL!)
In them I find the comfort to see through it all

Guide me through unchartered waters
Before we lose our way again
Will you be my compass until forever?
Until forever ends!?

Knees are weak, hands are shaking, I can′t breathe

So give me the drug, keep me alive
Give me what′s left of my life
Don′t let me go, whooaa
Pull this plug, let me breathe
On my own, I′m finally free
Don′t let me go, whooaa

Don′t let me go, whooaa
Don′t let me go, whooaa
