There's a nothing a god can give to me that i can't gice to myself
I put my beliefs in the things I believe and a god can take care of himself there's not enough love in the world for me to think about wasting my time It's not that I don't believe at all but I don't need a heavenly sign I can achieve the things I need without getting down on my knees I can respect you're religion but i don't want to pay your fees I don't want to hear you talk about the things you think that i need so don't help me back on my feet again until you can hear me pleed Just look in the holy book of crooks and tell me what you can find all the rules and the regulations made to manipulate your mind don't pretend that you're blind just open your mind and study historical times the bigger thew loss the bigger the cost the bigger the cross and its crimes I don't believe in a god that I need to worship I don't believe that I need to get down on my knees I don't believe that a voice from above can help me I only believe in what I can see and the things that I can achieve Whatever belief you belong to there's still always a reason to doubt and there's always another opinion as to what life is all about there's always a bigger dimension and a different point of view so I don't want to try to change you that decision is up to you Whatever your final choice is and however you choose to live you better be happy for what you can get and happy with what you can give there's only one thing to remember there is only one thing you can do and that is to do unto others as you'd have others do unto you Chorus Two sides two sides to every story two stories more makes four new ones to choose Four sides four sides to every story four stories more makes eight new ones to choose Eight sides eight sides to every story eight stories more now which one should you choose now which one can you use |

Burn your bridges, bite your tongue
dig your own grave what's done is done What's in your head what's on your mind time will tell don't look behind What I keep inside my head is stuck right on my mind and time will tell if I should look behind Hold your head up, hold your head up high Hold your head up, hold your head up high Hold your head up, hold your head up high Hold your head up, put up or shut up Two steps forward and one step back the time will come when you lose track Speak your mind or sell your soul Stand tall or fall down in a hole I've got to speak my mind before I sell my soul I've got to stand for what I am before I fall Chorus It's to late I guess what's done is done I'd rather dig myself a grave than bite my tongue so I take two steps forward and then one step back I'm not afraid of losing faith I'm scared of losing track Chorus |

Are you satisfied with everything the way it is
Are you stuck in the conformity of minding your own biz Does a confrontation make you want to turn and run and do you think about the things you'd like to have undone Are you scared of looking back at all the things you've said and do you keep the words you'd like to say inside your head well nothing changes by itself without some kind of clash and there's always gonna be some barriers to smash Are you scared to be, scared of what you see Are you scared to change, scared to rearrange There's a chance that you never take the chances you get If you never move ahead you'll keep on looking back the only thing you're doing is just filling out the cracks Another coat of artificial paint won't change a thing unless the whole foundation gets a brand new colouring What is there to lose except some insecurity that you replace with faith to not be scared of what you see 'cos every little risk you take breaks down another wall the biggest chance that you can take is just to let it fall Are you scared to be, scared of what you see Are you scared to change, scared to rearrange There's a chance that you never take the chances you get There's a chance you haven't taken any chances yet |

How come all the things you say just don't make sense to me
Why do we spend so much time just refusing to agree If you say you like something you know I'll say I don't and when you want to do something that's fun you know I won't Why is it always my turn to take care of this mess I don't think it's fair to say I'm always doing less You don't know what I do so I don't think you should moan and if you're so much better you can do it on your own Nobody loves me like I do, not even you Nobody needs me the way I do, not even you Nobody knows what I'm going through, not even you You always make me feel like everything I do is wrong and things would be much easier if we could get along but every time I criticize you you overreact please don't tell me one more time that opposites attract that has to be the biggest fucking lie I've ever heard Don't tell me to shut my mouth I haven't said a word You're the one that started it and you know that I know so what's the use there's no excuse you know that no means no Chorus Is there really any point in working this all out all we ever do these days is fight and scream and shout Maybe we should give it up and just call it a day I can't think of anything I even want to say I've done my share of caring and it isn't any good I'm sick and tired of feeling like I've been misunderstood so give me one good reason and I'll stay right here with you I can't take another day I don't know what to do Chorus |

Let's all pretend that we're stupid and dumb
and that nobody knows where it's all coming from I've got a whole lot of questions that I'm never gonna ask I don't want to know what's behind your mask I've got a life of my own it's hard enough as it is without having to listen to your personal biz If we all keep quiet it could be ideal 'cos I don't want to know how you feel Nobody nobody knows, nobody shows it if nobody knows it Nobody nobody knows, nobody blows it if nobody knows it Nobody nobody knows, nobody knows it until you expose it Nobody nobody knows so don't open your mouth if you don't know how to close it It's a god damn pity I don't know what the use is for all of your good for nothing lame excuses It's complicated makes me frustrated brings everything out in me I've always hated Instead of pretending that we always agree Why don't you just tell me what you think about me because we all want to leave but nobody wants to go 'cos everybody knows we all know Chorus Everybody knows what I'm talking about all the little white secrets that never come out All the things that we do and the things that we say in this stupid little game called life we play I don't want to hurt you so I don't want to know what you're thinking about and where you're going to go I don't want to stick my nose in anybody's affairs I don't want to know and who cares Chorus |

I'm the center of my own universe
and I'm sitting on top of my world I'm the middle of my attention and I'm the best joke I've ever heard I'm the king of my own castle and I'm the master of my own mind I'm the best friend that I've ever had the best friend that I'll ever find I'm the nicest person I've ever met the only person that I'll never forget I'm the best sex that I've ever had the one relationship I'll never forget I can see them coming I can see them coming I can see them coming I can see them coming We want to lock you up, they want to lock me up We want to put you away, they want to put me away We want to shut you up, they want to shut me up We want you out of the way, they want me out of the way I'm the greatest star in my hall of fame I'm the host of my own show I'm the main character in my book I'm the most humble guy I know I'm the leader of my own army I'm the f?rer of my chosen ones I'm the atom bomb that'll blow my world all the way to my kingdom come I'm the god of my own bible I'm the Jesus of my own cross I'm the saviour of my own people and I'm my own greatest loss I can see them coming I can see them coming I can see them coming I can see them coming We want to lock you up, they want to lock me up We want to put you away, they want to put me away We want to shut you up, they want to shut me up We want you out of the way, they want me out of the way I think I'm going crazy I think I'm going crazy I think I'm going crazy I think I'm going crazy I'm losing my mind |

I was dreaming that I was caught up in the middle of a parade
but I wasn't paying attention to the statement being made and when I looked up at a banner and saw just what it said then I wished that I was somewhere else instead Because the message on the banner was for white supremacy and no matter how hard I tried it didn't make any sense to me so I studied the people around me trying to think of what to say but the only thing I could think of was to laugh and walk away I was dreaming that I was talking to a man about his faith and I was far away from home in some kind of exotical place The situation was such that when I looked at my surrounding I got nervous and my heart just started pounding I realized that I was the only man that was Caucasian All the people around me looked like oriental Asian I was a legal alien in a difficult situation but I could relate to the state I was in when I thought about discrimination Was I in the wrong place at the wrong time or was I in the wrong state of mind Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind Was I in the wrong place at the wrong time Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind Wrong place, wrong time or wrong state of mind I was dreaming that I was at home and when I took a look around it was as if the entire population had suddenly gone underground I was standing all by myself and there was no one to be found the only thing worse than a terrible noise is not even hearing a sound There wasn't a trace of a human face as far as my eyes could see I started to feel kind of lonely and I wanted some company I had to make do with myself and the thought didn't appeal to me 'cos the only thing worse than to many people is feeling completely lonely Was I in the wrong place at the wrong time or was I in the wrong state of mind Chorus Anybody could be related with a monkey in a tree or an ancient tribe from Africa but that doesn't bother me I've probably got lots of relatives that are Jews and nobody knows Maybe that's the reason for the size of my big and beautiful nose My family tree is a mystery that comes from all over the place so tell me the logical definition of a perfect race Some people are dressed in a darker tan and some have a lighter shade and I can assure you nobody's sure exactly where they were made Was I in the wrong place at the wrong time or was I in the wrong state of mind Chorus |

I know the answers to the questions in your mind
I've been to the places that you couldn't even find I seen all the things you never thought you'd get to see I've been everyone you couldn't be I've read all the stories and I know how they end I've fixed all the broken things that you couldn't mend I've taken all the chances that you never even took and I've found the things you overlooked I'm the answer to your questions, I believe when you're in doubt I'm based on a rumour, I'm spread by word of mouth There's no proof of my existence I'm a myth that you arouse I'm your life and religion, your faith and your hope Your drug and your addiction your injection of dope I've met all the people that you never dared to meet I've played all the games of life and never once been beat I've walked upon the water without even getting wet and there's not a thing that I regret I've done everything that's wrong and made it right again I've talked to all my enemies and turned them into friends I've been crucified and resurrected from the dead Do you believe a single word I've said? I'm the answer to your questions, I believe when you're in doubt I'm based on a rumour, I'm spread by word of mouth There's no proof of my existence I'm a myth that you arouse I'm your life and religion, your faith and your hope Your drug and your addiction your injection of dope I'm everywhere and nowhere I'm your saviour when you sin I'm your great escape to higher ground when you give in I'm everybody's scapegoat I'm a glimpse of clarity Would you sacrifice yourself for me?

I think I'm going crazy I'm losing my mind
'cos the logic of the story is impossible to find Like a talking head I'm gonna stop making sense 'cos bad news is like sitting on a burning fence I've got one hot minute of the higher ground and like Simon said I know that silence is the sound Nevermind I'll reach nirvana even if I have to pay I'm a fool for a lifetime and a king for a day Crazy I'm going fucking crazy Crazy I'm going fucking crazy Crazy I'm going fucking crazy Crazy I'm going fucking crazy I'm a loser looking for the mellow gold but in the garden of sound you know the story's getting old so I'll sow my korn by the helmet in the bush and in the meantime I want you all to help me push with the tool of intolerance I'm ready to crack 'cos I've got suicidal tendencies so lets get whacked I'm gonna suck up the dust and light the fire inside and take a rollercoaster ride to the bizarre side Chorus I'm insane in the brain like a looney tune and I'll see you on the dark side of the moon I'm the man in the box locked up in chains and I'm buried deep down underneath the remains I'm a psycho maniac welcome to my nightmare I'll use your brain like chemical warfare I'm out of my mind lets count the bodies born dead and last but not least you better check your head Chorus |

After all these precious years you chose to just give in
why did you leave so many things undone I only scratched the surface of the thoughts you had within and for me your life had just begun Why did you think that you were never good enough to give when you accepted me right from the start I never saw the side of you that didn't want to live and i miss you from the bottom of my heart What was it that you never told a soul about yourself what kind of thoughts were buried inside was there really no one there you thought would understand or was the only barrier your pride with so much love around you i just wish you'd loved yourself 'cos no one here can ever take your place you were someone special and my words just can't express how much i miss the warmth of your embrace Why did you just give in why did you just give up and let it go I guess I'll never know It's hard to see you disappear without a real good bye there's so many things i wish I'd said But all the little things you did that made it all worthwhile ment more than all the tears you ever shed You always seemed so happy but I guess no one can tell what goes on inside a persons mind you loved your children dearly and you did your very best and someone new like you is hard to find Chorus All the things you went through for your children every day and all the sacrifices that you made were worth much more than anything that wealth could ever buy and now that love can never be repayed In the end I guess you couldn't take it anymore so you closed your eyes and swallowed all your pain I know that you've done the same so many times before but all the questions in my mind remain |
