1.Memories
Pissing in plastic cups before we went on stage,
Playing hacky sack back when Audioslave was still Rage.
Watching all the freaky Dutch kids vomit then have sex,
Listening to techno music on the bus where we earned our checks.
Memories make me want to go back there, back there.
All the memories make me want to go back there, back there.
Oh the memories, how can we make it back there, back there?
I want to be there again.
Messing with the journalists and telling stupid lies,
They had a feeling that something was up because of the look in
our eyes:
In fact we didn't know what we were doing half of the time,
We were so sure of ourselves, and sure of our way through life.
Memories make me want to go back there, back there.
All the memories make me want to go back there, back there.
Oh the memories, how can we make it back there, back there?
I want to be there again.
Now I got so many people that I got to look out for.
Never know when I'll become awake I buy some food at the store.
I can hear them babies crying, and the lawn needs to be mowed.
I gotta get my groove on honey, 'cause I'm freaking bored!
Memories make me want to go back there, back there.
All the memories make me want to go back there, back there.
Oh the memories, how can we make it back there, back there?
I want to be there again.
2.Ruling Me
Ring ring goes your telephone
You act like you ain't at home
You shut me out, but it turns me on
Red lipstick, black dresses
A look that I should not mess with
It makes us boys go crazy for you
So fascinated
I'm anticipating the touch
That may never come
In the rain, in the sun
Everybody needs someone
They can dream of all night long
All the pain, and the ways
That you're driving me insane
It's no mystery why you're ruling me
We first met in the lunch room
My ocular nerve went, *POP* *ZOOM*
I never observed such a beautiful face
Sweet lady, don't play me
If I am a knob, don't fade me
You can't win the game if you pass the Ace
I'm so frustrated
This love's belated, me thinks
Let's get it to go
In the rain, in the sun
Everybody needs someone
They can dream of all night long
All the pain, and the ways
That you're driving me insane
It's no mystery why you're ruling me
I'm not kidding anymore
This love hurts, that's for sure
I feel you, I see you, I need you
In the rain, in the sun
Everybody needs someone
They can dream of all night long
All the pain, and the ways
That you're driving me insane
It's no mystery why you're ruling me
It's no mystery why you're ruling me
3.Trainwrecks
We sleep all day and rock the night
We just get up to start another fight
We kiss and then we bite, we are Trainwrecks
You don't keep passing up a
Get freaky now cause I can't keep a job
We don't update our blogs, we are Trainwrecks
People love to tell us what to do
That's just cause they're jealous of me and you
We're digging through the couch for cash
We're taking cabs cause both our cars are trashed
But we're still kicking ass, we are Trainwrecks
Trainwrecks
We're still kicking ass, we are Trainwrecks
We think it's uncool to be on top
Mooching off our friends is not a
Someday we'll cut our critics down to size
And crash a Diddy party in disguise
We fall first then we rise, we are Trainwrecks
Trainwrecks
That's the story of our lives, we are Trainwrecks
Trainwrecks
That's the story of our lives, we are Trainwrecks
4.Unspoken
Every morning, every day,
I am hopin' for a chance to get away
In the evening, every night,
I am dreamin' of a chance to make it right
Every chance that I get
I am placin' a bet on the sun in the sky
And if you take this away from me
I'll never forgive you can't you see
Our life will be broken
Our hate will be unspoken
I can feel those metal chains
And they're holding back the hope that keeps me sane
I can fight back, yes I can
'Cos I'm strong enough to show you I'm a man
And I hate what you do,
when your poison seeps through and you're laughin' at me
And if you take this away from me
I'll never forgive you can't you see
Our life will be broken
Our hate will be unspoken
Every chance that I get
I am placin' a bet
on the sun in the sky
as it sets out of sight
And I hate what you do
when your poison seeps through
and you're laughing at me
And if you take this away from me
I'll never forgive you can't you see
Our life will be broken
Our hate will be unspoken
And if you take this away from me
I'll never forgive you can't you see
Our life will be broken
Our hate will be unspoken
5.Where's My Sex?
Mom made my sex
She knitted it with her hands
Sex-making is a family tradition
Going back to the caveman days
They were walking around in a haze
Until they figured it out
And they said 'gosh dang, this is great!'
But now I'm like a prehistoric screwball
Walking round with no sex at all
I said, Where's my sex?
I thought it was here
Under the bench
But it isn't there
I've got no idea where it disappeared to
I'm running late, I can't be late
I can't go out without my sex
It's cold outside and my toes get wet
And people will think that I'm an alien
Just cruising in to make a friend
Meg likes to hide it
She said that it gives her a kick
It may be under the rug
Or stuck in a shoe closet
Or tumbling round in the washing machine
She's always trying to get me clean
She adds detergent and bounce to eliminate static cling
It's gonna be another hour or more
Till I am ready to walk out the door
I said, Where's my sex?
I thought it was here
Under the bench
But it isn't there
I've got no idea where it disappeared to
I'm running late, I can't be late
I can't go out without my sex
It's cold outside and my toes get wet
And people will think that I'm an alien
Just cruising in to make a friend
People can you hear me talking
I know you all are happy, rocking
Could you lend me a dime, pretty please?
Brother, sister, got time?
I've got no sex on my feet
Sex in my drawer
Sex in my shoes
Or sex on the floor
I said, Where's my sex?
I thought it was here
Under the bench
But it isn't there
I've got no idea where it disappeared to
I'm running late, I can't be late
I can't go out without my sex
It's cold outside and my toes get wet
And people will think that I'm an alien
Just cruising in to make a friend
6.Run Away
I thought you would always be my friend
Now everything must end
And so the world moves on
And everything must change
When I'm looking at the night sky, I can see my soul
I see the little lights flashing at each other up above
Is it us making love in the Milky Way
Long before we threw it all away?
Hey, you
We're running out of time
And you know it's true
I just want to run away from here with you
Tonight
Tonight
Sometimes I wish I was a house at the end of the block
You could smash all my windows with the throw of a rock
And make the hurt go away, come again some other day
There's so much I want to say about
You
We're running out of time
And you know its true
I just want to run away from here with you
I thought you would always be my friend
But everything must end
And so the world moves on
'Cause everything must change
And now you're all alone
You're sitting by the telephone
You wonder why
Everyone will cry
Tonight...
Tonight...
Tonight...
Tonight...
7.Hang On
Someday I'll be coming for you
You'll know, what I'm wanting to do
I'll know the words to say
To draw you in so close to me
Over and over
We swore it was over
But just like wild clover
Love grows at light speed
Hang on 'til I see you again
I'm going to be more than a friend
You know that this isn't the end
So hang on (hang on, hang on, hang on)
This was just a very first start
There's more that I hold in my heart
I'm waiting for a chance
To show you how I long to be
Over and over
We swore it was over
But just like I'm solar
You warm up to me
Hang on 'til I see you again
I'm going to be more than a friend
You know that this isn't the end
So hang on (hang on, hang on, hang on)
Hang on 'til the break of the day
We'll cast all our troubles away
You know that this isn't the end
So hang on (hang on, hang on, hang on)
Sweet thing
As long as I'm breathing
And my heart is still beating
I'm gonna be coming for you
Hang on, hang on, hang on
Hang on, hang on, hang on
Hang on 'til I see you again
I'm going to be more than a friend
You know that this isn't the end
So hang on (hang on, hang on, hang on)
Hang on 'til the break of the day
We'll cast all our troubles away
You know that this isn't the end
So hang on (hang on, hang on, hang on)
Hang on 'til I see you again
I'm going to be more than a friend
You know that this isn't the end
So hang on (hang on, hang on, hang on)
8.Smart Girls
Where did all these smart girls come from?
I don't think that I could choose just one
Where did all these smart girls come from?
Someone tell me how to get me some
On the floor, in the car
On the seat at the bar
Wherever I go
That's where they are
Smart girls
Never get enough, of those
Smart girls
Smart girls
I want to be a bad boy right now
Real me is dying to hang out
I know you know what I'm talking about
I've got a feeling you could show me how
On a bus, on a train
On a boat, on a plane
I'm falling in love
What was your name?
Smart girls
Never get enough, of those
Smart girls
Sleeping in the buff
Yumi, Sherie, Alison, Mary
Which one do I want to marry?
They're all smart girls
They're all smart girls
Sheena, Lola, Fabiola,
Don't you know you make me lose my mind?
Where did all these smart girls come from?
I don't think that I could choose just one
Where did all these smart girls come from?
Someone tell me how to get me some
Lisa, Brittany, Paula, Whitney
Which one do I want here with me?
They're all smart girls
They're all smart girls
Debbie, Donna, Tatiana
Don't you know you make me lose my mind?
Smart girls
Never get enough, of those
Smart girls
Sleeping in the buff
Smart girls
Talk about smart girls
I wanna a smart girls
Talk about smart girls
9.Brave New World
I've been scared to make a move,
so much left for me to prove.
I guess it's time for me to show what I've got.
Things will never be the same,
I may snuff the burning flame.
Or I may prove to be much more than I thought.
This is the dawning of a brave new world.
I don't know where I'm going, but I know I'll figure it out,
yeah.
This is the dawning of a brave new world.
No more hesitating, it's too late to turn back now, yeah.
You can come along with me.
Or if that's not your destiny,
you can choose to go your way if you want.
I will send my best to you,
there are things I have to do.
I can't wait no more; I've got to move on.
This is the dawning of a brave new world.
I don't know where I'm going, but I know I'll figure it out,
yeah.
This is the dawning of a brave new world.
No more hesitating, it's too late to turn back now, yeah.
It does not take this action,
to see a chain reaction.
Everyone, blossoming in the sun.
We'd hate to leave our shelter,
but there's so much waiting out there.
If only we'd open our eyes and see.
This is the dawning of a brave new world.
I don't know where I'm going, but I know I'll figure it out,
yeah.
This is the dawning of a brave new world.
No more hesitating, it's too late to turn our backs now, yeah.
10.Time Flies
Had another birthday, could've been the worst day I ever had
Got a little drunk, and I fell into a funk and I woke up sad
Looked into the mirror, there were lines around my eyes
Time flies when you're having fun
Time flies when you live on the run
The harder I go, the more I realize
Time flies
Life is moving fast and I'm running out of gas
Time ain't on my side
I'm still in the race and I'm barely keeping pace
But it's worth the ride
Waiting round the corner, there's another sweet surprise
Time flies when you're having fun
Time flies when you live on the run
The harder I go, the more I realize
Time flies
Time flies
Time flies
Some sad day, they'll be taking me away
But I won't be dead
Cause even when I'm gone, this stupid dance song
Will be in your head
I'll be looking down with a twinkle in my eyes
Time flies when you're having fun
Time flies when you live on the run
The harder I go, the more I realize
Time flies when you're having fun
Time flies when you live on the run
The harder I go, the more I realize
Time flies
11.All My Friends Are Insects
I have a friend and it's an earthworm
It burrows underground deep within the soil
Sometimes when it rains it comes out
And we talk about our day
I have a friend and she's a butterfly
She flies from flower to flower drinking sweet nectar
With hundreds of friends
They sleep up in the trees at night
I have a friend and he's a dragonfly
He sweeps around all day and hovers in the air
He's colorful and wonderful
His wings are strong and powerful
He's the dragonfly
These are my friends
Even though they are bugs
They have a big role in our world
Even though they're bugs
I have a friend and it's an earthworm
I have a friend and she's a butterfly
I have a friend and he's a dragonfly
They are my friends and yeah they're all insects
12.Viva La Vida
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead long live the king
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
Missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know St Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know St Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
13.I Want To Be Something
4 in the morning
And my roommate's still a-snoring
So I take a walk out on the Boulevard
The wind above me
Seems to push and pull and shove me
But it shows me all the places I could fly
I want to be something
Before I die
I feel it burning me inside
I want to be something
I don't know why
I want to know that at least I tried
I see so clearly
That the odds are stacked against me
And that nobody else believes in me at all
I'm all alone here
And I have to face my own fear
I have no choice but to keep on keeping on
I want to be something
Before I die
I feel it burning me inside
I want to be something
I don't know why
I want to know that at least I tried
And if my dreams all come true someday, true someday
I won't forget how I feel today, I feel today
I'm blown away
I wanna be some'n'... x 7
Here I am, here I am
I want to be something
Before I die
I feel it burning me inside
I want to be something
I want to feel something
I want to know that at least I tried
14.Represent
I'm sick and tired of everybody trying to tell me what to do,
If I'm in need of your advice then surely I would come to you.
I didn't get in this position just by happenstance,
I worked my bones beyond the limit just to have half a chance.
It matters how you play the game,
It matters that you can take the pain.
You don't want to lie, steal, or cheat your way to the top.
Ohh-ohh-ohhhhh
It matters what your people think,
You represent your family.
Well that's just one more reason to see,
That it matters whether you win or lose.
Why don't we see who is the wizard and play some one on one,
I think you'll find me sympathetic to ya when I've won.
It seems you've got the brawn to beat me if this was all it
takes,
But I've got skills to pay the bills and punish each of your
mistakes.
It matters how you play the game,
It matters that you can take the pain.
You don't want to lie, steal, or cheat your way to the top.
Ohh-ohh-ohhhhh
It matters what your people think,
You represent your family.
Well that's just one more reason to see,
That it matters whether you win or lose.
One hundred years from now,
They'll look back on this day.
Where are you going to be,
And what are they going to say,
I see my name in lights,
The people call my name.
It's all up to you,
Will you find a way?
It matters how you play the game,
It matters that you can take the pain.
You don't want to lie, steal, or cheat your way to the top.
Ohh-ohh-ohhhhh
It matters what your people think,
You represent your family.
Well that's just one more reason to see,
That it matters whether you win or lose.
It matters what your mother thinks,
You represent your family.
Well that's just one more reason to see,
That it matters whether you win or lose.
