posted by Victoriallen

I'm not the one who made the world what it is today
I'm not the one who caused the problems started long ago
But now I deal with all the consequences that troubles our times
I carry on and never once have even questioned why

(yeah) I'm innocent
But the weight of the world is on my shoulders
(yeah) I'm innocent
But thet battles started are far from over

We're not the ones who leave the homeless in the streets at night
We're not the ones who've kept minorities and women down
Still we grow and then the problems they become our own
We carry on without even realizing why

(yeah) We're innocent
But the weight of the world is on our shoulders
(yeah) We're innocent
But thet battles started are far from over

We're not the ones whose pollution blackened our skies
And ruined our streams
We're not the ones who made the nuclear bombs
That threaten our lives
Wer'e not the ones who let the children starve in faraway lands
We're not the ones who made the streets unsafe to walk at night

And even if we try and not become so overwhelmed
And if we make some contribution to the plight we see
Still our descendants will inherit our mistakes of today
They'll suffer just the same as we and never wonder why

Crossroads Lyrics

posted by Victoriallen

Time has washed away
And now I may wonder
How did it all slip by
Cause I always thought
We had forever
Future calls to me
To take me away from things
I don't want to leave behind
Like I'm slipping away
I can't hold on

Find that path alone
Crossroads lead me away
But thats not what worries me
I just want to know whats home

Through it all
My mind still wanders
To the one who touched my soul
Though her road leads away
She's still my
True love
I could believe

Will is not enough when all those
Lost days stand in the way
But she was
My hopes and dreams my
Whole world
I could believe

I still want to know
Who can see for me, yeah, yes
Crossroads tell me

Now you'll have to trade
Your past away
And find another day
So is change a friend or an enemy

Through what comes to pass
I'll find my way
I've seen it all before
But is the best you can be
The best thing to be
Some people say
You're just wasting time
But thats not what worries me

Cool To Hate Lyrics

posted by Victoriallen

I hate a lot of things I hate a lot of people that are lame
I like to hate stuff, cause then I don't have to try and make a change
I hate teachers, I hate school,
I hate the cheerleaders and anyone who's cool (ya)
I hate the office, I hate the quad, don't wanna learn a thing
I wanna be a slob

It's cool to hate, it's cool to hate
Don't like nothin' and I like that fine
It's cool to hate, it's cool to hate
Don't like nothin' and I like that fine
Don't like nothin' and I like that fine
Yeah I hate everything, I even hate you too, so fuck you!

I'm always thinkin' bad, I never have nothin' good to say
I like...

Come Out & Play Lyrics

posted by Victoriallen

You gotta keep 'em separated

Like the latest fashion
Like a spreading disease
The kids are strappin' on the way to the classroom
Getting weapons with the greatest of ease
The gangs stake out their own campus locale
And if they catch ya slippin' then it's all over pal
If one guy's colors and the other's don't mix
They're gonna bash it up, bash it up, bash it up, bash it up

Hey! Man you talking back to me? Take him out
(You gotta keep 'em separated)
Hey! Man you disrespecting me? Take him out
(You gotta keep 'em separated)
Hey! Don't pay no mind
You're under 18 you won't be doin' any time
Hey! Come out and...

Can't Repeat Lyrics

posted by Victoriallen

I woke the other day
And saw my world has changed
The past is over but
Tomorrow's wishful thinking
Can't hold on what's being done
Can't grab on what's to come
And I just wish that I could stop but

Life Goes on
Come of age
Can't hold on
Turn the page
Time rolls on
Wipe these eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow Cries

The memories are bittersweet
Good times we CAN'T REPEAT
Those days are gone and we can
Never get them back

Now we must move ahead
Despite our fear and dread
We're all just wishing we could stop but

Life Goes on
Come of age
Can't hold on
Turn the page
Time rolls on
Wipe your eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow Cries

With all our joys and fears
Wrapped in forgotten years
The past is laughing as
Today just slips away
Time can't stand what we've made
Cause it's another day
And I'm just wishing we could stop --

Life Goes on
Come of age
Can't hold on
Turn the page
Time rolls on
Wipe these eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow Cries
Time rolls on

Blackball Lyrics

posted by Victoriallen

In this world of hate and shallowness
Where enemies become your consolation
And those of us who win the game give up our minds
I don't call that winning
Say this doesn't apply to you
But ask yourself first
What have I done today to win the game
And just what have I sacrificed

Win the battle lose the war
I know I've played this game before
When people were still real
I don't want this anymore
It's time for me to close the door
There's nothing left to feel

Reflect on all our yesterdays
My own words choke me
Why were they spoken
Regret for the things I've said and done
Just can't compare with
Regret for those that...

Baghdad Lyrics

posted by Victoriallen

In your plane in the blue sky
You roam around
Worlds that echo in your mind
Make your heart beat faster

'This is no Vietnam
We will win in Iraq'

The president said, 'Let it ride'
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Baghdad

Warrior, the time bomb's about to go
What will you feel
Will you even wonder
If the man that's in your sights
Ever kissed his girlfriend good-bye
The Captain said, 'Kill or die'
Islam be damned
Make your last stand
In Baghdad

Great satan, our flags are burning
Now America has found its young men In the sand
Where their casualty Is just another number
In Iraq

The president said, 'Let it ride'
You will be damned
Make your last stand
In Baghdad

Bad Habit Lyrics

posted by Victoriallen

Hey man you know I'm really ok .
The gun in my hand will tell you the same .
But when i'm in my car, don't give me no crap,
'Cause the slightest thing and just might snap .

When I go driving I stay in my lane .
But getting cut off- it makes me insane .

Open up the glove box,
Reach inside,
I'm gonna wreck this fuckers ride,
'Cause I got a bad habit .
Of blowin' away,
Yeah, Yeah
I got a bad habit,
Yeah, Yeah
And it 'aint goin' away,

Well they say the road's a dangerous place .
If you flip me off I'll get in your face .
You drive on my ass,
Your foot's on the gas,
And your next breath is your last

'Cause I got a...

A Thousand Days Lyrics

posted by Victoriallen

Ask me no questions and I'll tell you
I'll tell you no lies
When all is said and done
Does it really matter who's wrong or right
Don't ask me for a reason, I can't explain
Why we hurt one another again and again
As I lie bleeding here I still
I still reach for you

A thousand days
Have passed away
A thousand days
Were captured in her eyes

Your eyes are open now but you know
Its still hard to see inside
When action and intention
Are two seperate things
Now I somehow wish I could explain
Why we hurt each other again and again
Like someone on his dying breath
I still reach for you

A thousand days
Have passed away

(Can't Get My) Head Around You Lyrics

posted by Victoriallen

Deep inside your soul, there's a hole
You don't want to see
Every single day, what you say
Makes no sense to me
Even though I try
I can't get my head around you

Somewhere in the night, there's a light
In front of me
Heaven up above, with a shove
Abandons me
And even though I try
I fall in the river of you
You manage to bring me down too

All your faking,get up,get up,get up,get up
Shows you're aching,get up,get up,get up

Every single day, what you say
Makes no sense to me
Letting you inside isn't right
Cause you'll mess with me
I never really know
What's really going on inside you
I can't get my head around you

Pay The Man Lyrics

posted by Victoriallen

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

Trust In You Lyrics

posted by Victoriallen

I am the one, your help I've refused
Your offering hand just set off the fuse
I am the rock that pushes away
I gave up tomorrow to spite today

Too proud to beg
Too stubborn to try
I'd look in your face
And spit in your eye

But I'm willing to find what's really inside
And show I am strong enough to

Trust in you
Trust in you
Trust in you
Pull me up
Quo modo (Shadow to light)
Quo modo (Shadow to light)
Quo modo (Pull me up)
Pull me up
Cause I am ready

I am the one who blames only you
The flame in my eyes now blackens my view
I am the one who wanders alone
Darkness inside blocks how you've shone

Who tied the other
End...

The Noose Lyrics

posted by Victoriallen

Well our!
Souls are all mistaken in the same misguided way
We all end up forsaken we're just choosing our own
way
The future now incinerates before our very eyes
And leaves us with the emptiness of no more tries

Well our visions of glory have spiraled down the
drain
The best of our intentions comes crashing down in
flames
The depths of our despair are unable to contain
It's shallow living

The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
A truth appaling
Our maker comes a calling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising

Well the traces from a yesteryear are burning...

‘Days Go By’ Lyrics

posted by Victoriallen

Run to the light
It won't save you tonight
All our yesterdays are pictures lost in time

Never enough
Towers crumble to dust
Looking back on the moments of our life

All your anger, all your hurt
Doesn't matter in the end
Those days go by
And we all start again

What you had and what you lost
They're all memories in the wind
Those days go by
And we all start again

Stars super bright
Seasons change overnight
As we find a way
Times they come and go

Look back in love
A new day rises above
Wish the wind it comes
To carry you back home

All your anger, all your hurt
Doesn't matter in the end
Those days go by
And we all start...

Hypodermic Lyrics

posted by Victoriallen

When you're feeling low
Hypodermic's where you go
WHen you're with yourself
You wish yo ucould be someone else

Can't you see like you saw anymore?
Can't you feel like you felt before?
Can't you face anything anymore?
When life's a waste
Run away
Your life's a waste
Run away

Once you get a ride
Doesn't matter where you lied
Once you shoot it in
Doesn't matter who you've been
You're reeaching in but you don't know where to begin
All your dance and song won't matter when you're gone

Can't you see like you saw anymore?
Can't you feel like you felt before?
Can't you face anything anymore?
When life's a waste
Run away
Your life's a waste
Run away

‘Slim Pickens Does The Right Thing and Rides The Bomb To Hell’ Lyrics

posted by Victoriallen

Take me for a ride
I'm the one you pushed aside
But it's coming back to you
Yeah it's coming back to you -hey!

Run to the sound
Take it back and double down
'cause it's coming back to you
Yeah it's coming back to you

Well

Ah-ah-ah well we're pouring gasoline
So dance around the fire that we once believed in

Ah-ah-ah it'll never be the same, now
'cause there's nothing left for us to be
Give it up the champions of greed
So come around and have another round on me

Dance fucker dance, let the motherfucker burn -hey!

Snake's in the grass while you are living in the past
Say what're you gonna do?
Yeah what're you...

‘Secrets From The Underground’ Lyrics

posted by Victoriallen

Feel the way it goes when the words have left the mark
With the promise of tomorrow,
That tricks, leaves you in the dark
There's something in the air,
and there's something rising up
Not one for a million that I had enough

Hey, yo, no
I'm not good at going away
I got something load to say
Kick it, screaming, I knock you down, and knock you down
Hey yo, go, underneath I'll tear you down
Secrets from the underground,
Ain't no stop so far!

This is not an anthem,
or a threat at someone's name
But a promise that tomorrow
Will rock and burn, and things won't change!
There's something in the air,
There's something...
