1.California

Now kids i gotta warn ya
'cause i've been to california
Where they've got a new religion
And they'd love for you to give in
Well i'm here to say that we'll seize the day
We're still here to stay
We'll never fade away
Well i don't wanna bore ya
But i've been to california
Where everybody's reachin'
For somethin' to believe in
Waiting for the day that we'll rise away
Still here to stay
We'll never fade away
So say i didn't warn ya
'bout southern california
Where they got a new affliction
And it hangs like an addiction
I've been to california


2.Automatic

Spoke to my god today asked him why he'd gone away
Hitched on a rocket ride into the sun
He said "son i've got one for ya down there in california
Just take a look around at all you've done"
"you're automatic like a burnin' gun
You're a star like everyone"
Talked to my soul today but i couldn't keep my brain away
So i found a holiday behind the sun
Took all the friends i could spun out in hollywood
Hit up on a climate everyone
You're automatic like a burnin' gun
You're a star like everyone
And you could save the world
Could be shinin' on my pearl
You could save the world
Just might find your way my pearl
She said "i'm automatic baby systematic speed
Through the universe my engines bleed
I'm automatic momma with automatic pace
Save me momma as i fall from grace"
Shine


3.Giveaway

I know you think everybody's wrong
To talk the walk and then talk right through our song
I swam a thousand years to meet you there
Well that's how it feels when nobody cares
But don't let go
Remember we're all rolling stones
Would you be satisfied
That's okay man we're all dyin'
To just give it away
Sorry it don't live here anymore
You know just exactly what it's for
And i didn't feel like fallin' down today
When i couldn't bring myself up anyway
Don't let go
Remember we're all rolling stones
And you say they lied
Well that's okay man we're all dyin'
To just give it away


4.Underground

Older brother can ya hear me
Wish you could see me feeling good right now
Tell my mother i can see her
That i've been dreamin' and i can show you how
Seems twenty years that we've been reelin'
But you lost that feelin' and me i lost the fear somehow
Hey father where's the boy you bleeded hung dry and cheated
It's me and i took the fall for you
Down the road they call yesterday
I found my moment in the sun
Let's hope the sun will be as kind today
For only this much i pray that someday
From the underground with all our friends around to bring ya
down
Who'll be there to save me?
They could shake you down but you won't give in to the
underground
Older brother can ya see me wish you could be me
Walkin' in these shoes
To feel the weight of my conviction mental addiction
Has got me down and losin' sleep
So if i try to make it real older brother would ya hear me?
And if i try again to feel older brother could ya heal me?
Who'll be there to save me?
Older brother can ya hear me, wish you could see me
Feelin' good right now


5.Free Your Mind

Every day it's a different story the $@#% happens and it never
fails
Mother@#$%&! comes up in my face
And says "i'm livin' my final glory and you've got nowhere to
run
No one to answer to but my gun"
Take your hate shelf my pride
I'd fly low to get you high
I'd embrace i'd lie
Anything just to free your mind
Control never comes so easy when you're suckin' your final
breath
Your mind is tellin' you there's seconds left
Well i've held my hand to nothin' and i've pushed my fears away
But now i fear i've seen the darkest day
Take your hate shelf my pride
I'd fly low to get you high
I'd embrace i'd lie
Anything to free your mind
Take your place do your time anything just to
The choice is made drop the blade my head is sinkin' anyway
My choice is fate another victim of the system under hate
Take your place do your time
Anything just to


6.Truth

Look through these eyes do ya know what you're seein'
Once held the blue sky now colors are fadin'
God in your soul hell in your hands
Swallow it down whole mother depression
I could lead the way forget my hell to pay
I would die if it would just make you believe
But would you let it go this i gotta know
If you could let it be
Found my religion cut on a table
Mirror stares back at a man who's not able
Words of a savior ringin' through my head
Give to us this day our daily bread
I would stand like a king ruling under one love
I could be your hero and you the truth i'm thinkin' of
I would stand like a king ruling under one love
I could be your hero if only you could let it be
The truth would set you free


7.Bleed

I believe the sun will rise one day
And we'll come alive and reach for something real
I can feel the sun through darkest sky
But all the faith inside won't take away this fear
And i'll be stronger than before
'cause they can't bleed me anymore
I believed the tired man when he said that
"nothing here weighs heavier than regret"
He must've known someone just like me
Now i've fallen down but don't give up on me yet
'cause i'll be stronger than before
And they can't bleed me anymore
I believe in a monday morning dream
Of a rising star and a celebration of freedom
"i believe the sun will rise" some say
With an independence day for every season
And i'll be stronger than before
'cause they can't bleed me anymore


8.Seven Years

Coming down before you
Is easier than spillin' on the ground
Pour my soul inside you
It's all that you can do now to spit it out
Fallen down around you
Another name to pick up off the floor
Colors bleed right through you
It's from your mouth where your true colors pour
Now i'm rearin' my ugly head
Spinnin' wheels and blinded
Took seven years to find it
But i'm learning to fly
Fallin' down around you
Walls are leaning hard on your grace
Crumble in and abort you
Wreckin' ball the walls of this place
Rear my ugly head
Took seven years to find it
But i'm learning to fly


9.Revelation

Can't you feel it risin' through you
So alive now closin' in
I'm your deviant i'm your hero
From this dog's life can't seem to win
But i want it all
I got my eyes on your salvation
And i want it all
Comin' alive with a new revelation
That i want it all
Long time gone now since you've been able
To find your way home through the dark
Underrated super-jaded
Can't decide now whose side you're on
I want it all
I wanna know
If you got your mind on a revolution of the soul
'cause i got my eyes on your salvation
And i want it all
Comin' alive with a new revelation
That i want it all


10.Amphetamine Girl

She only wanted to feel alive inside
Three years of dyin' left her less than satisfied
Her daddy told her "girl get out while you're young
Do like your daddy says and not like your daddy done"
If she don't burn out then i guess she'll fade away
Hand of the devil don't tread on me
Don't run away with my amphetamine girl
Hand of the devil i'm comin' clean
Just don't run away with my amphetamine girl
She met the coolest junkie boy and paid his rent
He looked like jesus smokin' white trash cigarette
He said "now trust me love you can't get hooked on this"
Now they don't sleep at night there's somethin' they might miss
If she don't burn out then i guess she'll fade away


11.If We Were Kings

wait, f'you could only wait for me, i'd come around.
And take, whatever light you'd shed then we, might come around.
Come what may, if we were kings for a day could we, would we.
Light the way, and the pain i'll take away, could it be (yeah).

How long, i say not long.

Light all of their torches so they could see
And we'd carry their crosses if we were kings.

Straight, if you can just stay straight with me, i'd stay
around.
Troubled fate, i can be your saving grace, lost and found
Come what may, if we were kings for the day, could we, would we.
Fly away, if we were kings for a day could we, guarantee (yeah).

How long, i say not long.

Light all of their torches so they could see
And we'd carry their crosses if we were kings.
Give away the moon and the stars for free
We'd carry their crosses if we were kings.

How long, i say not long.
I say not long.

Light all of their torches so they could see
We'd carry their crosses if we were kings.
We'd light up the sky when we were free
We'd carry their crosses, if we were kings

If you could only wait for me, i'd come around
