Something I learned today
Black and white is always grey Looking through the window pane I'm not inside your brain Something I learned today Yield to the right-of-way Stopping at a four-way sign Someone else's rules, not mine Something I learned today Never look straight in the sun's rays Letting all the sunshine in Can't remember where I've been |

There are things that I'd like to say
But I'm never talking to you again There's things that I'd like to phrase some way But I'm never talking to you again I'm never talking to you again I'm never talking to you I'm tired of wasting all my time Trying to talk to you I'd put you down where you belong But I'm never talking to you again I'd show you everywhere you're wrong But I'm never talking to you again |

I picked up my belongings
In a nylon carry-all I hear the porter call He said, "The sky's the limit On this chartered trip away," Guess I'd better stay Out there on the desert I see trees on every wall Nothing's ever solved He said, "The sky's the limit On this chartered trip away," Guess I'd better stay away I thought I owed myself a trip away I wanted to go to places I have never been away I looked at the pictures Imagine where they lay away On a beach, by the sea Where their clothes all lay away I picked up my belongings In a nylon carry-all I hear the porter call Horizon is oblivious, chartered trip away Guess I'd better stay Out there on the desert I see trees on every wall Nothing's ever solved Horizon is oblivious, chartered trip away Guess I'd better stay away I thought I owed myself a trip away I wanted to go to places I have never been away I looked at the pictures Imagine where they lay away On a beach, by the sea Where their clothes all lay away I picked up my belongings In a nylon carry-all I hear the porter call He said, "There's no returning From this chartered trip away,"... |

Questions like a candle that's burning at both ends
Never find an answer that fits in your plans Back and forth between the good and the bad it's indecision time You're so natural, you're so free So don't decide what's best for me Nothing in your life is ever going on course You wonder if living could be much worse Go to the left, go to the right Your mind is going to keep you up all night You twist in your sleep, grabbing the sheets, sweating to death Sucking on pollution like a rattle in your mouth You're a big fucking kid, you don't know what you're about Tell me about your fellow man You wipe their shit all over your hands |

It's a one-horse town
One big desert Asphalt desert Asphalt jungle Beyond the threshold, beyond the threshold Change for the worse Change nonetheless Hey hey hey Got no place to stay Beyond the threshold I hear machines They burst at the seams But tar and feathers All stick together Beyond the threshold, beyond the threshold Greetings from here I wish you were here Hear what I say but You can't hear me at all Beyond the threshold... |

Why did you back me into a corner?
I didn't mean it, it was just an act My friend's outside, can't he come in? And everybody else Stupid pride Selfish pride Stupid pride Why does everybody have to be like that? "Out", just an act His parents love him They send him money But he won't come back No reaction, no response Forget him, just forget him |

You think you've made it to the top
Because people know your name It's still the same Your daydreams aren't forever Better get your shit together for a new game Back to your day job Back to your girlfriend Back to your hometown The biggest lie Passing harsher judgment But you brought it on yourself by being you Your trade your respect for no success You tried to be a hero But you end up nothing |

Can you feel it, feel it, feel it
In your soul Can you tell me Tell me if it's hot or cold Can you tell me what it is Does it hurt you when I do this Stop it, stop it, stop it You're pulling too hard Stop it You're going too far I love it, I hate it, I love it I hate it too I love it So how about you? Can you tell me 'cause I don't know Why don't you tell me why it is so Confusing! |

There was no one all around
There was no one there but me I was staring out a window I was standing by the sea The waves kept on repeating Each one crashing to the shore And my footprints nowhere leading As they disappeared once more Your senses are bombarded By the roaring that you hear In a shell you can hear the ocean When you put it up to your ear |

Searching for the truth but all I ever find is lies
Trying to find identity but I just find a disguise Looking at the nightmare when I try to see the dream Finding a reality as perfect as it seems Somewhere the dirt is washed down with the rain Somewhere there's happiness instead of pain Somewhere satisfaction has no name Somewhere I can be the same Looking down on everything it seems a total bore Missing all the people that I've never met before Trying to find an unknown something I consider best I don't know if I'll find it, but until then I'll be DEPRESSED ... |

Going out each day to score
She was no whore but for me Celebrating every day The way she thought it should be And I don't know what to do Now that pink has turned to blue And I don't know what to do Now that pink has turned to blue She was always by my side And never tried to leave Standing up for me And like a tree for what she believed And I don't know what to do Now that pink has turned to blue And I don't know what to do Now that pink has turned to blue No more rope and too much dope She's lying on the bed Angels pacing Gently placing roses 'round her head |

Been through mass destruction once, but once was not enough
Said we want a second chance, and all they say is tough A world where science went too far, there's no way to survive Why can't we get this thing straightened out, 'cause I want to stay alive They burned and bombed the east and north, and there's no place left to go The Sun Belt's overcrowded, so let's annex Mexico The peso's only worth a dime, but they've got all that land There's no need for a civil war - we know they'll understand, right? Is that how you like it? Factories left unattended, crumbling to the ground We tried to keep them running, but there's no more oil around We used it all to fight a war that neither side could win Well, Vietnam was Little League compared to where we've been Now we live in caves and huts, and we don't have pay TV And everyone is signing up for the newest industry Standard oil goes solar power, all try to make a buck I'll sit around, smoke cigarettes, and I'll babble, "What the fuck?" That's how I like it We'll sign up for the newest industry... |

He lives in his imagination with those friends of his very own
He doesn't get along with the outside world, he'd rather be alone Sometimes when it's late at night he starts to wonder why (The plans he made can never happen, so all he does is cry) His parents, they can't understand why their son, he turned out wrong He runs away from all the pain, and forgets them when he's gone He'd rather be all by himself, because his plans they seem the best He finally gets the nerve one day, and now life becomes a test Whatever you want, whatever you do, wherever you go, whatever you say Whatever you want, whatever you do, wherever you go, whatever you say Whatever you want, whatever you do, wherever you go, whatever you say Whatever you want, whatever you do, wherever you go, whatever you say Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, don't worry I'm not the son you wanted, but what could you expect? I've made my world of happiness to combat your neglect |

If there's one thing that I can't explain
Is why the world has to have so much pain With all the ways of communicating We can't get in touch with who we're hating So turn on, turn on, turn on the news I hear it every day on the radio Somebody shoots a guy he don't even know Airplanes falling out of the sky A baby is born and another one dies Highways fill with refugees Doctors finding out about disease With all this uptight pushing and shoving That keeps us away from who we're loving So turn on, turn on, turn on the news |
