It Never Was
02:34
|

|
Addressing things of which I’ve found
So break these rusted chains I’m bound
Trapped inside a hollow shell,
Whatever it is, it does it well
I’m waiting
For something
I’m waiting
For someone
They call you names and spit in your face
But look at what has made this free
Finally we break free amazed
We’re done with all the hating: what is and never was

Private Eye
01:40

Can’t remember the last time that I was here
Can’t forget how I missed that chance
I need a private eye to tell me what’s going wrong
Why is the darkness my romance?
I need a private eye
Don’t want a sacrifice
I need a private eye
Take me away from here!
How long do I have before I burn out?
Before I completely fade to black?
I need a shrink to tell me what I’ve been missing out on
Or how can I get you back?

Photographic Memory
03:12
|
|||
|
I waited too long
I just can’t sing the same old song
I want you back
I need a photographic memory
If I had a photographic memory
I could save you and me
I want you back
Don’t want no more hate
I need a break
I need a photographic memory

Ok, Alright

I used to love you but now I’m done
I used to love you but now I’m gone
I don’t call you like before
Cuz you’re better than me
Oh, yeah…
Tried to call you on the telephone
But you didn’t pick up
I used to love you but now I’m gone
In this world of…

King Landlord
02:45
|
|||
|
Take another number, a line awaits
Borrowed time to wait and left on hold
Tomorrow goes under, days up in flames
Nowhere else to wait, lives sold by the dime
Ninety-nine percent
Statistics are bent
By the other percent
And spent by the CEOs
The landlord can’t tell you!
He’d do anything to sell you
King of apartment 201
He’s taking money from poorer ones
Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, shame on me
I only hope that some day, somehow
Maybe you’ll see

Took a flight out west
To where my future lies
Gonna make it big,
Gonna star in the sky
Bags packed!
Gear in hand!
Track rollin’
Layin’ it down
Playin’ whiskey a-go-go
Makin’ our start
In this beautiful city
We’re gonna tear it apart
Gettin’ on the five-fifteen,
Playin’ what they say
In this beautiful city
Makin’ minimum wage
Bags packed!
Gear in hand!
Gonna make it,
In a rock n’ roll band

Raid
03:06

Just because it’s ebony
You make me want to take it to your
Little court
You’re trying to extract my feelings
Stress runs high, I can’t convey the
Idiotic sort
Do you want to take it away
I can’t even start to say how it
Blows my mind
I want to be musically the
Very best that I can be but
You and your kind
It’s a raid!
Raiding the factory
But you can’t
Take the music from inside of me
Lord, it’s a raid
Of the factory
Don’t take my heart
You can’t even touch my guitar
I feel fragile and so scared you
Know how I feel
You’re destroying what we made
It pains me to say what’s been going on
It’s unreal
How am I gonna be making a living?
When all that you are doing is killing?!?
And killing’s a crime
Aren’t you supposed to be hunting terror?
Aren’t you supposed to be out on the
Front lines!?

For You
03:20
|

|
Been so long since last I saw you
Life’s good, and I’d still love to
Hold you close and feel your loving touch
But I know you don’t miss me half as much
I fell for you
Did you fall for me?
I see the joy that’s in your eyes
Because of some other guy
I’m glad he treats you well,
And I smile with the heart I want to sell

Gotta go, gotta go, gotta give this show
When it’s time to leave, we won’t want to go
But our boss is gonna blow his head
And say:
It’s a matter of Dead Yet Alive
A thousand endings going by
Dead Yet Alive
A thousand endings flashing by
We will leave with our hopes we’ll see you again
But my friends, but my friends,
Until then, we’re…
