Resignation 

you can't be right 
you're full of prejudice and spite 
you think you've got me pegged but you're wrong 
out of my way 
there is a consequence to pay 
you think you've got me pegged but you're wrong 
I am someone who'll burn the whole world down 
I'm the one to bring it right around 
you're giving up on me 
but what else have you got 
your losing sight 
I won't give up without a fight 
you think you've got me pegged but you're wrong 
I'm not afraid 
I'll take any chance I have to take 
you think you've got me pegged but you're wrong 
you can't expect the world to bend to you 
you only feed the fire of anger and disbelief 
I can't be everything to everyone 
and I can't be everything you think that I should be

Walk the Walk 

I could be like you 
I could be alone and shaded 
wondering what to do until they say 
I could be like you/ angry and intoxicated 
wondering what to do to make them pay 
and will I find a way 
can I make them see 
and make them all believe you're wrong 
your intentions don't belong 
I hear you talk the talk 
but I don't see you walk the walk 
and I still don't believe a thing you say

Blind 

what if I'm right and your wrong 
what if you knew it all along 
what if I figured out that I did not belong 
what if it always bothered me? 
what if I never did believe? 
would it be wrong if I decided I should leave? 
if I pretend I was blind 
and struck it from my mind 
would it still be there? 
what if I'd do anything to make it seem all right 
it's all right 
what if it's all inside my head? 
what if those words were never said 
would it be easier if I just forgot? 
what if I didn't run away? 
could it be any other way? 
would it be wrong if I decide I should stay? 
  
back 
 
 
 
  

Ordinary 

now you've made it up it's all inside your mind 
now you've given up 
you don't know what's there if you don't try 
so you've given in along with all of your friends 
and you're still alone 
the means doesn't always justify the end 
ordinary, ordinary 
a look in the mirror is not enough 
what makes you think that you're not one of us? 
if you make it up and start to use your mind 
it isn't difficult 
you don't know what's there if you don't try 
  
back 
 
 
 
  

I Won't Lie Down 

does anybody see him? 
another set up for the fall 
does anybody hear him? 
he's screaming at the same blank wall 
everyone can't be right 
but everyone will decide 
I'm not afraid of the price I pay 
I won't lie down as you walk away 
I know you must have seen him 
I'm sure you must have heard it all 
I know you used to be him 
did anybody care at all? 
  
back 
 
 
 
  

You Can't Change the World 

people say that it's impossible to fly 
but you don't know what I'm thinking 
don't you want to be just like the other hundred guys 
yeah you don't know what I'm thinking 
can't change the world? 
can't change the world? 
you say it's crumbling all around you 
and you're trying to get out 
people say that out of sight is out of mind 
but you don't know what I'm thinking 
don't want to listen to the ignorance and lies 
yeah you don't know what I'm thinking 
and isn't it ironic sometimes? 
the things we take for granted are what we wanted 
before we knew why 
and isn't it the reason we try? 
to make the excuse that it won't go the right way 
before it's gone 
  
back 
 
 
 
  

Handout 

what's it going to take to be done? 
what's it going to be right or wrong? 
I don't have the strength left to fight 
I don't have to make up my mind 
I know you're never wrong 
no matter what it takes 
I know you're not the one 
but we all make mistakes 
help me out 
I don't want your handout 
I don't need your way out 
so what's it going to be 
I've done everything 
why don't you believe? 
your're the same as me 
  
back 
 
 
 
  

Everything's Your Fault 

have you heard them talk about it? 
you say they're wrong but they know all about it 
have you tried another story? 
we're tired of all the lies and allegories 
every single thing's your fault 
there you are not really jaded 
you've learned to live with being underrated 
but they don't know just what you're made of 
because of them who knows how you will end up? 
with you it's always something 
when everyone's the same 
don't you try to blame me

Take It Back 

I won 
I worked too hard to get it 
so what? 
it's over just forget it 
too much, too soon 
too late until you realize 
you've got it made? 
you're in for a big surprise 
that's not what I want at all 
that's not what I wanted 
can I take it back? 
can I take it back? 
I'm asking 
it's gone 
and I don't want to fake it 
it's wrong 
I've become the one I hated 
  
back 
 
 
 
  

Complicated 

You're never going to see what you like 
you're never going to wake up and change your mind 
you're never going to keep what you hold 
you won't accomplish anything on your own 
you can't have what you wanted 
so make up your mind and come to your senses 
you'll never win if you don't bend 
it's not so complicated 
if you decide to change your mind 
you'll find your inundated 
you're never going to do what you say 
you'll always try to make up another way 
you're never going to act on your own 
you're never going to see that you're all alone 
and so you're here and you don't know 
if you can choose the way to go 
it's not about the way it is 
so don't become a realist 
you've got time to make a choice 
don't think aloud but have a voice 
and when you think the time is right 
don't ever be afraid to fight 
  
back 
 
 
 
  

Put You In Your Place 

what was that you said to me? 
I'm not exactly sure I heard you right 
what is it you want from me? 
I'm not exactly sure I will comply 
you think you've got me where you want 
you think you're better but you're not 
I don't mean anything to you/ why? 
don't make me put you in your place 
you don't think I'd let you make a fool of me 
don't make me put you in your place 
you don't think I'd let you make a fool of me 
what do you expect from me? 
are you really looking for a fight? 
what do you expect to see? 
for me to lose control, I think I might

Falling 

it's really easy if you try 
to tell another hundred lies 
but I'm not going this time 
just when you think I'm over it 
it's getting easy to forget 
I haven't even faced it yet 
I never wanted anyone to be so wrong for you 
stop falling down 
I don't have anyone to blame 
I can't make anybody change 
I guess there's nothing more to say 
I won't believe it if you say that you will change 
I won't release you from responsibility 
I never wanted to come down on you this way
