JEALOUS COWARDS TRY TO CONTROL
RISE ABOVE
WE'RE GONNA RISE ABOVE
THEY DISTORT WHAT WE SAY
RISE ABOVE
WE'RE GONNA RISE ABOVE
TRY AND STOP WHAT WE DO
RISE ABOVE
WHEN THEY CAN'T DO IT THEMSELVES

WE ARE TIRED OF YOUR ABUSE
TRY TO STOP US IT'S NO USE

SOCIETY'S ARMS OF CONTROL
RISE ABOVE
WE'RE GONNA RISE ABOVE
THINK THEY'RE SMART
CAN'T THINK FOR THEMSELVES
RISE ABOVE
WE'RE GONNA RISE ABOVE
LAUGH AT US
BEHIND OUR BACKS
I FIND SATISFACTION
IN WHAT THEY LACK

WE ARE TIRED OF YOUR ABUSE
TRY TO STOP US IT'S NO USE

WE ARE BORN WITH A CHANCE
RISE ABOVE
WE'RE GONNA RISE ABOVE
I AM GONNA HAVE MY CHANCE
RISE ABOVE
WE'RE GONNA RISE ABOVE

WE ARE TIRED OF YOUR ABUSE
TRY TO STOP US IT'S NO USE

SPRAY PAINT (THE WALLS)

IT FEELS GOOD
TO SAY WHAT I WANT
IT FEELS GOOD
TO KNOCK THINGS DOWN
IT FEELS GOOD
TO SEE THE DISGUST IN THEIR EYES
IT FEELS GOOD
AND I'M GONNA GO WILD
SPRAY PAINT THE WALLS

I DON'T WANT
TO SEE THE PLAN SUCCEED
THERE WON'T BE ROOM
FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME
MY LIFE IS THEIR DISEASE
IT FEELS GOOD
AND I'M GONNA GO WILD
SPRAY PAINT THE WALLS

IT FEELS GOOD
TO SAY WHAT I WANT
IT FEELS GOOD
TO KNOCK THINGS DOWN
IT FEELS GOOD
TO SEE THE DISGUST IN THEIR EYES
IT FEELS GOOD
AND I'M GONNA GO WILD
SPRAY PAINT THE WALLS
IT FEELS GOOD

WHAT I SEE

THIS FEELING HAUNTS ME
BEHIND THESE EYES
THE SHELL SEEMS SO EMPTY
DOES ANYTHING LIVE INSIDE?

I WANT TO LIVE
I WISH I WAS DEAD

I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK I'M STUCK HERE
AND I KNOW IT
I DON'T WANT TO SEE
MAKE ME CLOSE MY EYES

I WANT TO LIVE I WISH I WAS DEAD

I LOOK IN YOUR EYES
AND SEE IT'S ALWAYS THIS WAY
LIVE THE LIE AND TAKE A DIVE
JUST TO MAKE IT DIE

I'VE JUST GOT TO CLOSE MY EYES
I'VE GOT TO CLOSE MY EYES
I'VE GOT TO CLOSE MY EYES

THIS FUCKING CITY
IS RUN BY PIGS
THEY TAKE THE RIGHTS AWAY
FROM ALL THE KIDS

UNDERSTAND

PADDED CELL

EARTH'S A PADDED CELL
DEFANGED AND DECLAWED
I'M LIVING IN HELL IT'S A PARADISE FRAUD
STRAIGHT JACKET MINDS IN LINE TO BE OLD
TELLING ME TO WANT,
LET TIME SLIP THROUGH MY TEETH
WELL I'M NOT THE FOOL,
I'M GOING TO TOWN
MANIC REACTIONS ARE ALWAYS A BUZZ
I'M SUSPECT, THE STRANGER IN DISGUISE
IT'S FORCED ITSELF UPON ME,
SOMETHING I CAN'T HIDE

SEE IT IN - MANIACS
THEIR EYES - MANIACS
MANIACS, MANIACS

LOOKING AT YOU INSIDE OF YOU
BEHIND YOUR EYES, THROUGH YOUR MIND
LOOKING AT YOU, INSIDE OF YOU
I'M INVISIBLE, NOWHERE TO HIDE
I'M OBSCENE THE LIVING DEAD
SEE THE FLYS FEED OFF YOUR HEAD
LOOKING AT YOU I'M INSIDE OF YOU
IT'S WALDEN TWO BUT THE FLOWER'S DEAD

SEE IT IN - MANIACS
THEIR EYES - MANIACS
MANIACS, MANIACS

EARTH'S A PADDED CELL
DEFANGED AND DECLAWED
I'M LIVING IN HELL IT'S A PARADISE FRAUD
STRAIGHT JACKET MINDS IN LINE TO BE OLD

LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO YOUR ARMS
I SEE YOU DON'T CARE WHO YOU HARM

NOBODY GETS CLOSE, NOBODY DARES

I CAN FIGURE OUT THE REASONS WHY
BUT I CAN'T HELP WHAT I FEEL
I CAN'T ACCEPT WHAT I SEE
SELF DESTRUCT

THERE'S GOT TO BE A WAY TO GET OUT
