that song

I put that record on just to make a sound The rhythm hit got my movement off the ground The soundtrack of what i want to be If i want to change the world, it's gotta start with me. I put the needle on the record and play that song again
And in the end what have we learned?
Are we just faces in the crowd?
I died and was reborn again today
Hold fast to myself, make these good feelings stay We laughed we cried
The music shaped our lives so tell me why our movement's out of time? Are we so out of line?
I put the needle on the record and play that song again
A movement with no leaders
We stand tonight hearts in our hands

private radio

I like to rock and I love to roll, when the music's running through my soul I've got no place to go but my own private radio
I met a lot of people that made me feel alright and their music's got me through the night
I had a drink and I had a smoke, I listened to every word you spoke. Another story another memory, another day the way things should be
If i had it my way everyone would know how we're living to our own
Private Radio

true believers

I've met some people along the way,
some of them split some of them stay,
some of them walk some walk on by,
I've got a few friends I'll love till I die From all of these people I try to learn, some of them shine some of them burn, some of them rise some of them fall, for good or bad I've known them all
We live our life in our own way, never really listened to what they say, the kind of faith that doesn't fade away we are the
true believers
well you can fight or you can run, under a rock till the war is won, play it safe and don't make a sound, but not us we won't back down true believers all the way, you and I

better life

waiting for the morning light to sneak up with the sunrise, last night was so long ago, where did the hours ago? I saw the first daylight shining in your eyes, you were mine and the world was ours.
Dreams of a better life can come true,
It's all there in you.
Just like a break in the clouds when the sun come shining through, momentary glimpse of the divine sometimes when i look at you and everything just cancels out and for that moment there's no doubt Dreams of a better life can come true, it's all there in you.
Sometimes a new day can bring a new beginning you took me to a place no time can erase. Yesterday I was a loser, today I'm winning today you're mine and the world is ours.
Dreams of a better life can come true
I'ts all there in you

the something special

We can't agree on a single thing, i dont know why. We almost killed each other on the inside. I managed to be a jerk anyway, it doesn't have to be this way Forget about the things i said
I make no excuse for them.
I want to start again
We all walk our seperate ways I don't know why, I hope we meet again somewhere some day.
I can't chage the way you feel
It doesn't have to be this way Forget about the things I said,
I make no excuse for them
I want to start again
I think about the two of us, I don't know why, I feel good on the inside. It's different now, I'm one i stand alone.
I have to be this way

broken record

Goin to the same old places, skipping like a broken record, I love you all but I gotta get out and change this scenery. I've got to find what I'm living for, I've got to change this life that I'm living. Nowhere to run from myself, no where to hide from the truth.
I tried to find someone, someone who knew, somebody to give myself to. I learned the hard way, when you give yourself away you give away your life too.
Nowhere to run from myself,
nowhere to hide from the truth.
I tried to find someplace that seemed right for me,, I walked the streets until i lost my mind and that was the best place to bem when i lost my mind the truth set me free.

lifetime

Just like a sunny day can turn all dark and gray, this game goes on and on. Out on the streets, broken dreams they come so cheap but no one can leave me for dead cuz i got one good fight left in me tonight, and the most beautiful girl in my head. Sometimes she comes to me in a song, sometimes she comes in a dream. She's all the joy in my heart she's everything that i see. Days they come and days go by, sometimes we fight and I don't know why I'll give it all up to her
Everything i did and said I've got all i want now in my sight, and the most beautiful girl in my head
Sometimes she comes to me in a song, sometimes she comes in a dream
Shes all the joy in my heart, she's everything that i see.
When we're together there is no time there is no space, when we're together everything is in it's place.
Turn myself inside out for her, my endless love is without form, let my heart be the light that guides her through the storm.
Tomorrow's a lifetime away, she's all I want today.

manthem

I was alone I decided to get up I decided to get out I picked up the phone and gave my boys a shout Told em I'd be out around nine, no particular plan, just whatever comes to mind
(pete) - Bryan called me up and said theres a show tonight, and do ya wanna go tonight
(bryan) - I'm giving my girl the night off, cuz I'm hanging out with Steinkopf
Whenever im down I know where my friends can be found, whenever theres a doubt i just have to shout
He's my friend he's my alibi, my accessory to the crime a bond that will never die, till the end of time
Another night and we got somewhere to go, goin out meeting up at the punk rock show, where the air is hot and the music is loud, my kind of place this is my kind of crowd And we'll be here till the night is done, loyal to my friends and sworn to fun

break-up song

'I don't want this anymore' is all I heard her say as I grabbed my stuff and headed out the door. With my music in my phones and my bike under my feet, things started to look different as I got out on the street. Sometimes I see her face in the new people that I meet We're not who we thought we were when we saw this dream
Sometimes when I just can't sleep I hear the words you said to me: How did you get so deep inside of me
I wake up and I move on, I admit the past is gone,
I wake up and I refine Moving foward to the next lifetime, I leave it all behind. Sometimes when I just can't sleep I hear the words you said to me:
Sometimes it takes a painful loss to realize you are free How did you get so deep inside of me

streetlight serenade (to no one)

I'll sing this song to my bike and everything else that I like this goes out to my handlbars as I'm weaving through the cars. This is for my squirrels in the park and every dog that doesn't bark. This is a song about a ride and listening to whats inside, I look at all the cars i pass
I cruise myself in the glass

late bloomer

I saw you walking past me just the other day, another heartbeat with thoughts of yesterday
You looked the same, years are only time, I still wonder why our hearts could never rhyme. You stood beside me, you didn't recognize me., funny how things never change. And when you walked on by a memory surprised me, smoking cigarettes, your girlfriends by the pool. Your smell I could not forget, that's as close as i could get you were so fucking cool. I'm no good, you're no better, wouldn't we be perfect together?
All I wanted was a piece of your heart, you left me torn apart. Fuck the rest before me and their crimes, for your love I'll serve their time I'm no good, you're no better
wouldn't we be perfect together?

no comply

I'm on the outseid looking in, that's where my story begins. Took the pain of growing up and I walked on through, this is how I'm showing up. I feel great, how about you? So here I stand out on my own, myself the only truth that I've known
I went through all the things that I had to do.
You know sometimes it stings but I feel great
how about you?
Playing life just like a game, good or bad it's all the same Let the world know how I feel, and you know it's real, and you know I'm real

gone

It was a cloudy night, or so it looked to me, I felt so lost, I couldn't say why. I needed strength to change my mind but those ghosts stick to me like glue, hatin life, believing I was no good
It was a darkness all my own a song played on the radio, but it went straight to my heart I carried it with me until the darkness was gone. It was a cloudy night, or so it looked to me, I felt so lost, I couldn't say why
I built this cloud to live in, It was a bunch of lies in my mind. the world wants me to believe it so I had to change my mind
