When i was young and self assured
I wanna get the level i adored A faith in god that people share They might believe but i don? even care I shaped my ways right out of here They try to scare me but they won? get near But how it works - that i won? forget - What you deserve ain`t what you get Where the hand goes down tonight Feel the way you will decide Where the hand goes down tonight They will try to drown ? And now we?e here what have we found Like all the others as they hit the ground We?e different now but in the end We?e all engaged to reincarnate in sand |

time to breakout
now it's time to go try to breakout or you'll never know so have a drink or 3 and sing with me wild rover roam 'til you're free in the days of 1916, back before the dawn of time when I was just a gleam to my grandpa before well he found a little lassie to whom, he took a fancy and they had my mum and then they had some more and he told me with a grin as he took a sip of gin someday son you'll breathe free celtic air and it may not be today but look now that's o.k. cause someday son the soldiers will all march away try to breakout now it's time to go try to breakout or you'll never know so have a drink or 3 and sing with me scotland, ireland and wales must be free try to breakout or you'll never know try to breakout or you'll never really know time to breakout or you'll never really know time to breakout or you'll never really never really know now every boy around the world dreams he could save the day be the hero, get the girland walk away now grandpa isn't here today and the soldiers are still there but I love an irish girl who took my name and we'll raise our kids to know the tales of scotland's woes and hope that someday they will breathe free air and it may not be today but look now that's o.k. cause someday son the soldiers will all march away |

rejoice in your naivete boy, cause it's all gone for me i know we lived on stupid dreams; it was all we had you see but when the balance totters there's no time for starry eyes clear your thoughts to earn the good life and then i'll call you wise now in the end i predict that you'll be just like me cause only the foolish or the blind don't want a new t.v. and you won't want to haunt the thrift stores when you're old and gray you'd better earn a packet now for all those lonely days i see the fire in your eyes and i wish you all the best but if you want to stay in my world put all of the that to rest there it is, i've said it, now the rest is up to you things were great when we were young; now march with me, its through if you could only see things my way, then you'd know i'm right! i believe you can hold on and live life in ways you choose confusion and my desperation are far too dear to lose if all of this meant nothing then you've wasted all that time but i can't un-tattoo my life, and that's the bottom line i'm not stupid and i know that everyone plays the game but how far you go on prefab terms is where we're not the same don't want to live my life today for when i'm 65 if we all make it that far, dear god i'll be surprised anyway the point is this: i too wish you the best but when i walk down city streets i don't feel like the rest don't worry; i won't wave a red flag or march on the city square somewhere between revolution and you, you'll find me there if you could only see things my way, then you'd know i'm right!

wake up to the darkness of another day you're determined: today you'll get away but all too soon you find that your day is set and you haven't figured how to get out yet all the images are so confusing the thoughts in your head are so bruising coffee table world is so alluring all the lines you drew once are blurring you once were the rebel - so full of hate now it seems the suit doesn't fit so great view yourself a bit uneasily this wasn't how it was going to be you know that rationales are far too easy but you've got to pay the rent and stay warm ideals battle with reality you view the world as you know it to be you built a foundation - but it's hard to stay truth be told - no one gets away you say of course things change - well i know things change but that doesn't make it easier to piss it all away

the working man is in my head now cause in this world we're all together trapped in a world he never made it's a steel and concrete place - that lasts forever and no one smiles - it's the working class who's got time for sympathy? he sees reality, it makes him close his eyes wakes up in the morning and he feels cold makes the commute to a faraway place but in his head he's even further away and no one smiles - it's the working class who's got time for courtesy? for every working man who earns a working wage who's gonna set us free? the working man is in my head in this world we're all together remembering a girl he loved now he knows she's gone for good for him everyday is just a cycle gets home at night, turns on the color t.v. staring at programs set in faraway lands but the gray world outside his window is all he can see and no one smiles - it's the working class who's got time for courtesy? for every working man who earns a working wage who's gonna set us free? well if you've got a scream inside you better shout it before the real world takes your breath away ideals die fast now if you let them but where's the future in another factory day? it's easy to say it it's harder to live it but look around and choose remember he's like you

the man on the street --
he doesn't know my name but I am sure we're not at all the same man on the street -- ou know he looks like me but he'll never know all the things i've seen see him and there's no enmity -- sometimes there's jealousy but would you be him? I don't think so no a hair is out of place -- he sets the pace and he's a step ahead of me the man on the street -- he doesn't look at me and if he did I wonder what he sees he might be kind; he might be alright are his concerns so far away from mine? see him and there's no problem -- thought he always looks so cold but would you be him? I don't think so not a stich out of place -- he sets the pace and he's just a step ahead he keeps a step ahead of me he lives as expected secure and protected the world won't affect him and so I reject him now I feel so different, though I might no look so you can wear the costume, but do you march in time? there's so many targets in the world to see feel the dirt of rebellion beneath your feet! |

you want a perfect prefab world where the boy always gets the girl but the world's not really like that where knights in armor slay the beast and every peasant gets a feast but i don't want a world that's like that cause if the beast has a heart and the peasant has none your equalizer's come undone now what's left to do when every wish always comes true? and what's great to me won't seem so great to you there'd be no saints if every heart was overflowing there'd be nothing to learn if everyone was all-knowing well it's a worthy crusade but i won't cheer the parade of the equalizer 100 smiles make a frown mean more there's no equalizer off the lines in factory cookie cutter mentality well the world's already like that and i'm sorry if you disagree but that's the point it takes a bit of piss to put the spice in victory

i remember a time when there was nothing but trees and green grass now i look around in concrete times and stay behind the glass crowds of people but i'm all alone staring at the bill for the telephone sometimes i miss those days, when the world was green and growing but there's too many people now too mean and too knowing they say you've got to be hard in a hard world - say goodbye to suburban boys, cause urban joy is hard to find what you gonna do? it's all around you sounds of the street start to surround you what you gonna do in concrete times? now i know these memories are just my naivete and i know that boyhood's gone and this is where you stay but so much has changed that i can see now i hear sirens and turn up the t.v. i remember knowing every house and every name on our street now i don't even know our next door neighbors, just the sound of their feet - cause your eyes are more open the older you get but the wide eyes of childhood are gone forever - you see more and less and school plays have been replaced and too many friends have joined the race the newspaper brings sad news through my door acceptance and gritted teeth when you walk outside at night guns and knives replaced the schoolyard fight and the street lights blinking on and on, keep me up for hours along with my thoughts, in a pretty concrete tower

I still hide it deep inside, but I no longer can fuck blessed for all what you once said, I can't even argue what is it now, what will you do ? You'll cheat yourself ! but maybe I'm a fool, for I believed in true love now all you brought to life is dying by your hell won't waste another day I'm here to run away - ahead won't feel you, just see you, I'm only after I don't mind to, but miss you, I'm only after I denied you, it relieves you, that I'm only after still love you, it won't help you I'm still only after you one day we'll come to terms that reason wasn't bad for it made us great and tall but never feel aware but peace of mind will never come, so dark but far true as long as we deny we need a heart instead (as well) don't waste another day I'm here to run away - ahead |

when we made promises and there was a day when we kept them we were like one no one could stop us we ruled the world from the throne you made promises -- we were young and free promises -- how it ought to be promises -- but somewhere it changed promises -- nothing remains the same now when we were tight you made such promises the world was alright and we believed them but now it's through and your stock is down put out the fuse the sparks are on the ground promises -- we were young and free promises -- how it ought to be promises -- but somewhere it changed promises -- nothing remains the same hurrah for yesterday long live yesterday drink a toast to yesterday we got the most out of yesterday we were like one we were like one promises -- we were young and free promises -- how it ought to be promises -- but somewhere it changed promises -- nothing remains the same hurrah for yesterday long live yesterday drink a toast to yesterday we got the most out of yesterday |

knocking down your door, it seems i couldn't even get arrested though i tried & tried - my best - well i was getting bested everybody had some kind of interest that was vested could it be the time for exclamation points is over ? could it be the time for truths in semi colons? everybody smiled - a pat on the head & oh what a nice boy never took us seriously - they were playing with their other toys but now i find i'm in demand & you'll find i've developed quite a voice could it be the time for explanation points is over? could it be the time for truths in semi colons? just question marks and periods, period my friend no question marks, period, cause i think it's time to send send it all back to you with a smile & some ribbon bow too we're the best, at worst - now every-body tells us so but you refuse to hear it - because you have got us pigeonholed well i'm the joker in your hand - we'll play til one of us has to fold

the revolution will be compromised
if we don't move now 1,000 mental road signs go blurring by telling us that this is the time this is the time the revolution will be compromised if we don't move now see the kids out on the street so much wasted energy if they had a leader what an army they would be but that's not reality there is no reason without reason complacency to be feared why do we get out of bed? light a fire in your head the revolution has been compromised |

You say you've got it all figured out
you live life without a doubt you say you're looking for something deeper but I can't sit here watching I won't march in time to the tune of self destruction "well I think it's time to make it on my own I'm gonna live life all alone" well open your eyes, and I'll show you a big surprise nobody makes it on their own nothing is ever gonna change, you say and there's no way you'll every leav this code you follow today you say your rules are something deeper but I see lies, and they're getting deeper you say everything else means nothing but I can't sit here watching I won't march in time to the tune of self destruction you say you've got it all figured out I'm a bit wary of those who don't see a shadow of a doubt come see me in 20 years, and I'll show you a host of change in the end, your inner spirit is all that will remain you say everything means nothing - but I won't sit here watching I won't march in time to the tune of self-destruction |

oh fuck you're still alive - I'm glad to see you again
oh I'm really scared, I swear that I failed to know I hear you say that I never seemed to love you and when I'm asleep I don't want to hear you ? and I don't know that I saw you drown and I don't know what I saw and I don't know.... you drowned oh you never saw, I bleed to keep you unknown no you would never know, what I felt: left all alone and I lied to please the crowd that I belong to as well and I lied ?. crawl out and share the love I can't explain the anger and that once I used to know That I was the one who tried to escape Tried to hold you back in my head and I didn't want to hurt you and I didn't want to hear you and I didn't want to leave you and couldn't even reach you and I lied - so I lied - never lied |

Walk along these lonely streets with the shoes up on my feet,
Ya, firmilur faces apear only when I go to sleep, but I don't go there, And I don't know where, where I am, And I'm so scared ya, and I want to fall asleep, ' Cause I know that's where we'll meet. And I sit and wonder why I'm alone again tonight, Let go there out of site heyy Jodiiii won't you take me away Hey hey the clock tics slowly away as the night falls on the day O yaa I havn;'t felt you in weeks it like I'm lost in out of space, And I stay out there and I don't where , Where I am and I'm soo scared ya and I want to fall asleep, 'cause I know that's where we'll meet. But I sit and wonder why I'm alone again tonight. Let go there out of sight yaaa Jodiii won't you take me away O hey heyyyy Jodii won't you take me away "solo" and I want to fall asleep, Yaa, 'cause I know that where we'll meet, But I sit and wonder why I'm alone again tonight, Lets go there out of site, Jodii won't you take me away heyyy hey Jodi won't you take me away. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By RUSSO, SCOTT / BREWER, ROBERT / MORRIS, STEVEN / YOUMAN, WADE T.

this is a puzzle i don't seem to fit all the sounds they like just seem like shit i don't know if they're dumb or i'm getting old there's a fire inside of me and i wish that they could see there's more to this than what they seem to think you've got to feel it - you've got to grow wit hit don't forget the past but get out and explore it's not that i hate them but i don't fit in though there was a day when i tried to now i'm driving with my own song in my head cutting edge traditionalist the cool guy with the biting wit but the cool crowd seems way ahead of me or behind me no matter what people say there's always pressure but i can't be a slave to others ideas i'm going to do what i want to going to play what i want to so at the end of the day i can look back and laugh

1,000 letters I have written but will never send here it is, another end and now we act like strangers, like we never met but I can't forget you said you were on the other line that day so I sat and waited for the callback that never came now where can I dispel the memories of your crime? where can I release the burn of bitterness inside? there's an astroplane of rage somewhere in the sky tonight I need to find it, to unburden, to try to set my head on right my heart feels hard even as the memories fade soon i'll be able to smile at all the times you took away they say that i'll get stronger form this dear god let them be right but I still see you when I close my eyes at night this is the last goodbye that's what you want from me this is the last goodbye so that's what you get

somewhere in a cold jail cell
is a man doing time, in a living hell for perjury but it's o.k. for billy somewhere is a young girl her life is forever swirled she's out of luck but it's o.k. for billy and so many pawns will fall for every king's stone wall I believe that we should strive for more obstruction, deception and still they blindly support him they've lowered the standards that they could've raised it's such a shame this is the new breed and i'm standing on my own I remember when there were democrats who stood tall and were cool cats now all I see are more suits and ties double standards, equivocate but even kings can get checkmate just be honest and show this king the door some say that it's just lies, but I think it's just trust and I believe that we should strive for more if he were in the g.o.p., you know that instantly they'd be lining up to fire but now they lowered the standards that they could've raised it's such a shame but this is the new breed for every little kid today who wonders why this one's o.k. well, kid these are double standards and this is the new breed and i'm standing on my own and maybe it's naive for someone to believe that there's a better way to run the show today but somewhere is a man or woman political in stripe whoe doesn't want to fall in line who'll say what's wrong is right and it's time to put it right the king should lose his crown this time who has the guts to say this thing is not o.k. for the sake of kings to come but now they lowered the standards that they could've raised it's such a shame this is the new breed for every little kid today who wonders why this one's o.k. well, kid these are double standards and this is the new breed this is the new breed well i'm standing on my own |

i think it began back in 1992 - flames and riots and my innocence was through the flames got put out but the hatred stayed so strong burning up the streets like an urban napalm white boy white boy - why you gotta act so proud? black black boy - why you gotta talk so loud? whit boy white boy - so afraid you buy a gun black boy black boy - so busy hating everyone nothing comes free/ nothing comes free and this town ain't half of what it used to be nothing comes free/ nothing comes free do you hear the sound of world burning down? i don't like fear and i don't like feeling danger now i'm driving through this ghost town like a sad lone ranger amid the ruins of all these urban sights and sounds seeing those places sometimes it still brings me down white boy white boy - you're so busy building fences black boy black boy - when you gonna come to your senses white boy white boy - anger shouldn't be your new song black boy black boy - if you hate because of color, you've got it all wrong that's when i said well, nothing comes free chorus

2003년 4월 19일.
같은 수업을 듣는 후배들과 '기억속에서 날아오르다'라는 이름의 한국민주화운동사료 전국순회전시회에 다녀오게 되었다. 나 초등학교 다닐적에 XXX씨가 대통령을 해먹던 그 시절에 대학생이었던 나의 삼촌은 제대할 때 신고온 군화를 신고 데모를 했었네. 두세시쯤에 학교에서 집에 돌아와 골목에서 친구들과 놀고있을 때 시내에서 터진 최루탄에 눈이 맵고 피부가 따가와 수돗물로 눈을 헹구고 방에 들어와야만 했었네. 삼촌과 꽤 나이차이가 많이 나시는 우리 아버지께서는 삼촌에게 앞장서서 데모하지만 말아달라는 걱정섞인 격려의 말씀을 하셨던 것 같네. # 무자비하게 시민들을 짓밟았던 전투화 복종해야만 했던 군인들의 머리위엔 XXX 비리와 부정부패로 수놓인 아름다운 대한민국을 건국한... 물통에 물받아 63빌딩 모형을 만들어 서울이 물바다 된다던 구라가 순진한 국민을 혼란에 빠뜨렸었네. 평화의 댐 건설 명목으로 내 코묻은 돈 500원을 빼았아간 그 일도 나에겐 그저 저 안에 남아있는 잘모르는 기억일 뿐이었는데.. 그저 커나가며 XXX은 개새끼라는 생각이 지배했을 뿐.. 그저 그것은 나에게 기억일 뿐이었는데.. * 개소리 좀 하지말어 당신 통장에 삼십만원? 앨범이 적자난 내 통장에도 백삼십만원. 골프는 어찌치나 돈없으면 당신의 옛 친구들과 자치기나.. 국민들을 재밌게 해주려고 한 코미디? 재밌게 웃었지만 그건 개소리지. 목숨이 없기에 현실에선 숨쉴수 없는 죽은 비둘기와 아직 숨을 쉬고 있는.. 흑백사진들.. 소리가 들리는 것 같아 함성이 들려. 동영상으로 재생되는 자료보다도 더욱 슬프고 아프게 다가오는 흑백사진과 주석. 총, 비둘기의 날개짓, 피흘리는 비둘기, 시체를 땅바닥에 질질 끌고 가는 군인들.. 캐터필러의 굉음, 그리고 XXX의 얼굴... * 개소리 좀 하지말어 당신 통장에 삼십만원? 앨범이 적자난 내 통장에도 백삼십만원. 골프는 어찌치나 돈없으면 당신의 옛 친구들과 자치기나.. 국민들을 재밌게 해주려고 한 코미디? 재밌게 웃었지만 그건 개소리지. 목숨이 없기에 현실에선 숨쉴수 없는 죽은 비둘기와 아직 숨을 쉬고 있는.. 난 근로자가 아니기에 나 그 시절의 아픔을 제대로 겪어보지않았기에 내가 느끼는 이 감정과 혼돈의 슬픔은 배부른 시건방짐일지도 모르겠네. 무지개빛 세상을 꿈꾸며 자유와 민주화를 부르짖었던 그들이 이제 흑백필름과 사진으로 남아있지만 그들이 있기에 나 이정도의 무지개빛 세상에서 날고있는 것이리라. # 무자비하게 시민들을 짓밟았던 전투화 복종해야만 했던 군인들의 머리위엔 XXX 비리와 부정부패로 수놓인 아름다운 대한민국을 건국한... *개소리 좀 하지말어 당신 통장에 삼십만원? 앨범이 적자난 내 통장에도 백삼십만원. 골프는 어찌치나 돈없으면 당신의 옛 친구들과 자치기나.. 국민들을 재밌게 해주려고 한 코미디? 재밌게 웃었지만 그건 개소리지. 목숨이 없기에 현실에선 숨쉴수 없는 죽은 비둘기와 아직 숨을 쉬고 있는.. 내눈에 살짝 고인 이 눈물이 의미하듯 감사해. 우리는 죽음과 자유를 바꾼 이들의 영혼에 부끄럽지 않은 세상을 만들어 가야해. |
