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
back
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
back
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
back
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
back
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
