 Falling, I'm falling
Have you ever walked through a
room
But it was more like the room passed around you
Like there was a
leash around your neck that pulled you through
Have you ever been at
someplace
Recognizing everybody's face
Until you realized that there was
no one there you knew
Well I know
Some days, my soul's confined and
out of mind
Sleep forever
Some days, I'm so outshined and out of
time
Have you ever
Falling, I'm falling
Have you ever buried
your face in your hands
Cause no one around you understands
Or has the
slightest idea what it is that makes you be
Have you ever felt like there
was more
Like someone else was keeping score
And what could make you whole
was simply out of reach
Well I know
Someday I'll try again and not
pretend
This time forever
Someday I'll get it straight but not
today
Have you ever
Falling, I'm falling
Some days, my soul's
confined and out of mind
Sleep forever
Some days, my darkest friend is me
again
Have you ever
Someday I'll try again and not pretend
This time
forever
Someday I'll get it straight but not today
Have you
ever
When the truth walks away
Everybody stays
Cause the truth
about the world is that crime does pay
So if you walk away
Who is
gonna stay
Cause I'd like to think the world is a better place
When
the truth walks away
Everybody stays
Cause the truth about the world is
that crime does pay
So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay
Cause I'd
like to make the world be a better place
When the truth walks
away
Everybody stays
Cause the truth about the world is that crime does
pay
So if you walk away
Who is gonna stay
Cause I'd like to think
the world is a better place
I'd like to leave the world as a better
place
I'd like to think the world
Staring at the Sun
Maybe life is like a ride ona freeway
Dodging bullets while
you're trying to find your way
Everyone's around, but no one does a damn
thing
It brings me down, but I won't let them
If I seem bleak
Well
you'd be correct
And if I don't speak
It's cause I can't disconnect
But
I won't be burned by the reflection
Of the fire in your eyes
As you're
staring at the sun
When I ran I didn't feel like a runaway
When I
escaped I didn't feel like I got away
There's more to living than only
surviving
Maybe I'm not there, but I'm still trying
Though you hear
me
I don't think that you relate
My will is something
That you can't
confiscate
So forgive me, but I won't be frustrated
By destruction in your
eyes
As you're staring at the sun
Pretty fly
You know it's kind of hard
Just to get along today
Our
subject isn't cool
But he fakes it anyway
He may not have a clue
And
he may not have style
But everything he lacks
Well he makes up in
denial
So don't debate, a player straight
You know he really doesn't
get it anyway
He's gonna play the field, and keep it real
For you no way,
for you no way
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll
know you can always go on Ricki Lake
The world needs wannabe's
So do that
brand new thing
He needs some cool tunes
Not just any will
suffice
But they didn't have Ice Cube
So he bought Vanilla Ice
Now
cruising in his Pinto, he sees homies as he pass
But if he looks
twice
They're gonna kick his lily ass
Now he's getting a tattoo
He's gettin' ink done
He asked for a '13', but they drew a
'31'
Friends say he's trying too hard
And he's not quite hip
But in his
own mind
He's the dopest trip
So don't debate, a player
straight
You know he really doesn't get it anyway
He's gonna play the
field, and keep it real
For you no way, for you no way
So if you don't
rate, just overcompensate
At least you'll know you can always go on Ricki
Lake
The world needs wannabe's
The world loves wannabe's
So let's get
some more wannabe's
And do that brand new thing
The kids aren't alright
When we were young the future was so bright
The old
neighborhood was so alive
And every kid on the whole damn street
Was gonna
make it big and not be beat
Now the neighborhood's cracked and
torn
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn
How can one little
street
Swallow so many lives
Chances thrown
Nothing's
free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile
lives, shattered dreams
Jamie had a chance, well she really
did
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
Mark still lives at
home cause he's got no job
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of
pot
Jay committed suicide
Brandon OD'd and died
What the hell is
going on
The cruellest dream, reality
Feelings
Feelings
Nothing more than feelings
Trying to forget my
Feelings of hate
Imagine
Beating on your face
Trying to forget
my
Feelings of hate
Feelings
For all my life i'll feel it
I
wish I'd never met you
You'll make me sick again
Feelings, oh oh
feelings
Of hate on my mind
Feelings
Feelings like I never liked
you
Feelings like I want to kill you
Live in my
heart
Feelings
Feelings like I wanna deck you
Feelings like I've
gotta get you
Out of my life
Feelings, oh oh feelings
The hate's in
my eyes
Feelings, oh oh feelings
You're not very nice
She's Got Issues
I'm seeing this girl and she just might be out of her
mind
Well she's got baggage and it's all the emotional kind
She talks
about closure and that validation bit
I don't mean to be insensitive, but I
really hate that shit
Oh man she's got issues
And I'm gonna pay
She
thinks she's the victim
Yeah
Now I know she'll feel abandoned
If I
don't stay over late
And I know she's afraid to commit
But it's only our
second date
Oh man she's got issues
And I'm gonna pay
She thinks
she's the victim
But she takes it all out on me
I don't know why
you're messed up
I don't know why your whole life is a chore
Just do me a
favor
And check your baggage at the door
Now she talks about her ex
nonstop, but I don't mind
But when she calls out his name in bed
That's
where I draw the line
You told me a hundred times how your father left and
he's gone
But I wish you wouldn't call me daddy
When we're gettin' it
on
Oh man she's got issues
And I'm gonna pay
She's playing the
victim
And taking it all out on me
My god she's got issues
And I'm
gonna pay
If you think I'm controlling
Then why do you follow me
around
If you're not co-dependent
Then why do you let others drag you
down
I don't know why you're messed up
I don't know why your whole
life is a chore
Just do me a favor
And check your baggage at the door
Walla Walla
Goodbye my friend, you've messed up again
You're going to
prison, you're off to the pen
You've gotten off easy so many times
But I
guess no one told you how to get a life
The judge wasn't lenient like he
was before
You got three to five and a kick out the door
The public
defender really did try
Too little, too late, you didn't get a
life
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist?
Well, not this time
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Folsom
prison is the destination
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla
Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well, not this time
In the scheme of life, we're
all just brothers
Rehabilitate with all the others
Well, I'll see
ya
That car looked so tempting, so easy to drive
Just like that
apartment that you burglarized
You started to run, but didn't get
far
Cause under your arm was a VCR
Ho ho, not this time my
friend
You'll be in lockdown by ten
I'm afraid you can't talk your way out
of this one, son
Now four walls are your 24-hour-a-day, constant companions.
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on the wrist? Well,
not this time
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Folsom prison
is the destination
Hey, in Walla
I'll see you in Walla Walla
Slap on
the wrist? Well, not this time
In the scheme of life, we're all just
brothers
Rehabilitate with all the others
Well, I'll see ya
Have a
nice life
The End of the Line
When the siren's flash is gone
And we're left to carry
on
All the memories are too few
When the pastor's music plays
And
that casket rolls away
I could live again if you
Just stay alive for
me
Please stay now, you left me here alone - it's the end of the
line
Please stay I can't make it on my own - it's the end of the line
Make
it on my own
It's the end of the line
Now that you are dead and
gone
And I'm left to carry on
I could never smile cause you
Won't stay
alive for me
Finally,
Your final resting day
Is without me
I
weep
And think of brighter days
What about me?
You can't take back,
the one mistake
That still lives on after life it takes
In that one day,
that changed our lives
And bitter memories are left behind
No Brakes
Lay awake
I don't give a shit
If I even ever wake up in
the morning
Down below
There's a pile of sin
Always waiting for a
Waiting for a warning
Burned at the stake
Inside I'm
blistering
Not a whisper
Looking in you'd never know it
Miles
below
I look up again
When you snap they say
Before you never show
it
Someone said it's all right
Save it now, don't say it for my
sake
Someone said it's all right
Faster now, you know I got no
brakes
Fuses glow
Wounds festering
Till the wind comes up
And
takes it to the last pow
Back and forth
Staring at the wall
This room's
a cage
I know that something's got to give now
Someone said it's all
right
Save it now, don't say it for my sake
Someone said it's all
right
Faster now, you know I got no brakes
No brakes
Why don't You Get a Job
My friend's got a girlfriend
Man he hates that bitch
He
tells me every day
He says "man I really gotta lose my chick
In the worst
kind of way"
She sits on her ass
He works his hands to the bone
To
give her money every payday
But she wants more dinero just to stay at
home
Well my friend
You gotta say
I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no
way
Why don't you get a job
Say no way, say no way, no way
Why don't
you get a job
I guess all his money, well it isn't enough
To keep her
bill collectors at bay
I guess all his money, well it isn't enough
Cause
that girl's got expensive taste
I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no
way
Why don't you get a job
Say no way, say no way, no way
Why don't
you get a job
Well I guess it ain't easy doing nothing at all
But hey
man free rides just don't come along
every day
Let me tell you about
my other friend now
My friend's got a boyfriend, man she hates that
dick
She tells me every day
He wants more dinero just to stay at
home
Well my friend
You gotta say
Americana
Well i'd like to tell you all about my dream, it's a
place
Where strip malls abound and diversion's mere moments away
Where
culture's defined by the
Ones least refined
And you'll be left
behind
If you don't fit in
It's all distorted
In americana my
way
We'll fuck you!
Well my dream has come true
My vision has
come true
Now give me my cable, fast food, four-by's, tat's right
away
I want it right now cause my generation don't like to wait
My
future's determined by
Thieves, thugs, and vermin
It's quite an excursion
But it's okay
Everything's backwards
In americana my way
We'll
fuck you!
Well my dream has come true
My vision has come
true
I'm a product
Of my environment
So don't blame me, i just
work here
But I wanna fuck you!
My rights are denied by
Those least
qualified
Trading profit for pride
But it's okay
Everything's
backwards
In americana my way
We'll fuck you!
My nightmare has
come true
My nightmare has come true
Yeah, it's all coming true
Pay the Man
See the way the wind blows
Lives are intertwined
Watch
the way the world goes
The man deals out our plight
Jester in the
corner
Laughs without a sound
Jester in the corner
Malady abounds
In
our souls
See the way the sun sets
Twilight of this life
The man is
making little bets
Playing with our lives
All that I believe
now
Anything is possible
A simple explanation
For the evil in this
world
And in our souls
In our souls
Come down to sorry and
sable
It's always the man
Always keeping you down
Bow down cause I
see it before me
Shadow and light
That always keeps you
running
Shut up you talk too much
Pay the man
Shut up you talk too
much
Look at you and your struggle for freedom
But you ain't
nothing
We all pay the man for living
Wouldn't it be nice for a change
now
To be unchained
My life is for me now
But this is life
Pay the
man
Shut up you talk too much
Pay the man
Shut up you talk too
much
Pay the man
