Billy Talent Billy Talent - 10th Anniversary Edition Lyrics
1.This Is How It Goes(Album Version)

Everybody is tired, and poor and sick of trying
If you see me on a corner, will you stop or will you splash me?
Take a look at what we've become
Nothing more than silhouettes of
A pretty family, on a postcard, picture perfect
I don't want it!

So I hold my breath 'till my heart explodes
'Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
'Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes

S**ty weather, bad timing, lucky penny glued to the ground
Dirty look from total stranger,
Hope you get lost and you're not found
Take a look at what we've become
Nothing more than silhouettes of
A pretty family, on a postcard, picture perfect
I don't want it!

So I hold my breath 'till my heart explodes
'Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
'Cause this is how it is and this is how it...

This is, how it, it goes!
This is, how it, it goes!
This is, how it, it goes!
This is, how it, it goes!

So unscrew my head
And rinse it out
Polish my thoughts
Turn into doubts
Unscrew my head
And rinse it out
Polish my thoughts
Turn into
Turn into doubts!

So I hold my breath 'till my heart explodes
'Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
'Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes


2.Living In The Shadows(Album Version)

Constant quick fixes, don't make no sense
Hop on bandwagons, they make me sick

Don't you tell me, what you think is right
Close your eyes and you will lose the fight
Don't you tell me, what you think is right
I can tell that, you have lost your sight

Distant loud chuckles, keep me awake
Awkward instances, won't make you hip

Don't you tell me, what you think is right
Close your eyes and you will lose the fight
Don't you tell me, what you think is right
I can tell that, you have lost your sight

We've said this all before, your shadow's at the door
We've done this all before, your gun is at the door
There's darkness in the hall and we won't take the fall
And we won't take the fall

Don't you tell me, what you think is right
Close your eyes and you will lose the fight
Don't you tell me, what you think is right
I can tell that, you have lost your sight


3.Try Honesty(Album Version)

Well I tripped, I fell down naked
Well I scratched my knees, they bled
Sew up my eyes, need no more
In our game there is no score

Forgive me father, why should ya bother?
Try honesty, try honesty
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, ride over me
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy, die tragedy
Call me a cheapskate, come on for Pete's sake
Cry agony, cry agony

Wild and insane, it's your fault, so sly
Your well of lies ran dry
And I cut the cord, free fall
From so high we seem so small

Forgive me father why should ya bother?
Try honesty, try honesty
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, ride over me
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy, die tragedy
Call me a cheapskate, come on for Pete's sake
Cry agony, cry agony

I talk to you

I'm insane its your fault
Cry!
I'm insane its your fault
Cry!
I'm insane its your fault
Cry!

Forgive me father, why should ya bother now?
Forgive me father, why should ya bother now?

Forgive me father why should ya bother?
Try honesty, try honesty
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me, ride over me
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy, die tragedy
Call me a cheapskate, come on for Pete's sake
Cry agony, cry agony

Cry agony, cry agony
Try honesty, try honesty
Cry agony, cry agony


4.Line & Sinker(Album Version)

What you see is what you get (don't ya know)
(Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker)
Look at me and don't forget (don't ya know)
(Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers)
What you see is what you get (don't ya know)
(Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker)
Look at me and don't forget (don't ya know)
(Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers)

Today I don't feel pretty
And I'm tired of trying to fit right in
Don't think that your so great
'Cause being great must suck

We don't always see the bright side
We all need ego suicide
You hung my head today
But I have licked my wounds and carried on

Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
Reality is truly scaring me
So stand up straight and firmly say

What you see is what you get (don't ya know)
(Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker)
Look at me and don't forget (don't ya know)
(Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers)
What you see is what you get (don't ya know)
(Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker)
Look at me and don't forget (don't ya know)
(Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers)

My heart is in the right place
So wipe that smirk right off your face
Don't make me feel like that
Cause that's just plain not nice

We don't always see the bright side
And I lied when I said I was fine
You slapped my face today
But I have licked my wounds and carried on

Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
Reality is truly scaring me
So stand up straight and firmly say

What you see is what you get (don't ya know)
(Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker)
Look at me and don't forget (don't ya know)
(Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers)
What you see is what you get (don't ya know)
(Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker)
Look at me and don't forget (don't ya know)
(Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers)

Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
You stole my luck from me
And now my fortune cookie's empty!
Cause you came and you stole it all from me!
So stand up straight and firmly say

What you see is what you get (don't ya know)
(Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker)
Look at me and don't forget (don't ya know)
(Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers)
What you see is what you get (don't ya know)
(Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker)
Look at me and don't forget (don't ya know)
(Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers)


5.Lies(Album Version)

Forced conversation, hidden agenda,
You think we're stupid, how dare you!
The rug has not been pulled over our eyes you fool,
We can see right through.

Tip-toeing villain, eyes in the ceiling,
Your false intentions have worn thin
But we've been in your room, and in your closet too,
We've got one on you!

Lies make it better
Lies are forever
Lies to go home to
Lies to wake up to
Lies from the altar
Lies make you falter
Lies keep your mouth fed
Lies till your death bed lies

Inside an office a fallen angel,
A smiling Buddha with snake eyes,
Creates the latest trends, and I just can't pretend,
Don't call me your friend!
When all these

Lies make it better
Lies are forever
Lies to go home to
Lies to wake up to
Lies from the altar
Lies make you falter
Lies keep your mouth fed
Lies till your death bed

Lies, they make it better
Lies, they are forever
Lies to go home to
Lies to wake up to
Lies from the altar
Lies make you falter
Lies keep your mouth fed
Lies till your death bed... lies!


Lies will come back to haunt you...
Bullet-proof your limousine
Lies will come back to haunt you...
Hit and run a broken dream!

Lies make it better
Lies are forever
Lies to go home to
Lies to wake up to
Lies from the altar
Lies make you falter
Lies keep your mouth fed
Lies till your death bed

Lies, they make it better
Lies, they are forever
Lies to go home to
Lies to wake up to
Lies from the altar
Lies that make you falter
Lies keep your mouth fed
Lies till your death bed
Lies


6.The Ex(Album Version)

Well, I looked at her face and then I knew she changed,
then my heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
yeah my heart turned black then the sky turned gray!

So I sat in my room for 27 days,
No she never called, I had something to say!
No she never called, I had something to say!

Well I don't know much, I don't know how...

Why would she put me through such torture,
I would have given my life for her,
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

Well, I heard she's great and her new boyfriend's lame,
She can go to hell I'll never be the same!
She can go to hell I'll never be the same!

And these open wounds will heal with time they say,
then my heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
then my heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!

Well I don't know much, and I don't know how...

Why would she put me through such torture,
I would have given my life for her,
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

Why would she put me through such torture,
I would have given my life for her,
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

Well i dont know much, and i dont know how

Why would she put me through such torture,
I would have given my life for her,
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

Why would she put me through such torture,
I would have given my life for her,
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner


7.River Below(Album Version)

Rejected...since day one
My name is...bastard son
I've been damned...so many times I've lost count
Blue collar...working man
Devises...master plan
Bi-polar...with a mental side arm

I'm sick and I'm twisted
I'm broken you can't fix it
Don't make me, cause I'll do it
Red button and we'll all go

Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno...
They'll think I'm insane, but you'll all know my name!
Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno...
I'll take all the blame, the front page and the fame!

Contraption...made up of
Nuts and bolts...creates the
New monster...to burn your family tree down!
Tick-tocking...times up now
Split second...the world frowns
Lonely heart...never loved nobody!

I'm sick and I'm twisted
I'm broken an' you can't fix it
Don't make me, cause I'll do it
Red button and we'll all go

Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno...
They'll think I'm insane but you'll all know my name!
Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno...
I'll take all the blame, the front page and the fame!

I'll take all the blame
The front page and the fame
INTO THE RIVER BELOW
INTO THE RIVER BELOW
INTO THE RIVER BELOW
INTO THE RIVER BELOW

Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno...
They'll think I'm insane but you'll all know my name!
Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno...
I'll take all the blame, the front page and the fame!

Yeah I'll take all the blame
The front page and the fame
But you'll all know my name
And they'll think I'm insane
But you'll all know my name
But they'll think I'm insane


8.Standing In The Rain(Album Version)

My head, it hurts, each day it's getting worse,
My looks and smile have now become my curse,
Tight lips, red skirt the never ending street,
Big car, little man, my lover for a fee...

So if ya see me will ya just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye?
And if ya want me, well, I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you!

Standing in the rain...
milk carton mug-shot baby missing since 1983,
Standing in the rain...
20 years of dirty needles, rain drops running through my veins!

My head, it hurts, each day it's getting worse,
No sun, my room has now become my hearse,
Cold sores, I'm beat, got bruises on my feet,
My pride, these men have taken it from me!

So if ya see me will ya just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye?
And if ya want me, well, I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you!

Standing in the rain...
milk carton mug-shot baby missing since 1983,
Standing in the rain...
20 years of dirty needles, rain drops running through my veins!
Standing in the rain...
milk carton mug-shot baby missing since 1983,
Standing in the rain...
20 years of dirty needles, rain drops running through my veins!

So if ya see me will ya just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye?
And if ya want me, well, I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you!

Standing in the rain...
Standing in the rain...
Standing in the rain...
milk carton mug-shot baby mother I have lost my way...
Standing in the rain...
milk carton mug-shot baby missing since 1983,
Standing in the rain...
20 years of dirty needles rain drops running through my veins
Standing in the rain...
Mother I have lost my way...
Standing in the rain...
Mother I have lost my way


9.Cut The Curtains(Album Version)

Oh my girl
You're so hot when you walk you melt snow
And now that disco has finally grown old
Lets buy back our souls
So lets see
We've got 5 bucks between you and me
My mental dishes are finally clean
So cleared are we

Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Intermission's a mission on it's own
Intermission's a mission on it's own

Now here seems our wax wings have melted away
And we've only been here for one day
My faith fades away
So don't be a gray cloud when there's none in the sky
We found theres no hidden treasure to find
At least we tried

Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Intermission's a mission on it's own
Intermission's a mission on it's own


So Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Grab your suitcase we don't have time to fold
Grab your suitcase we don't have time to fold

There is no doubt you throw your inbox out
I said There is no doubt you throw your inbox out
I said There is no doubt you throw your inbox out
There is no doubt you throw your inbox out
There is no doubt you throw your inbox out
There is no doubt you throw your inbox out
There is no doubt you throw your inbox out

Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Intermission's a mission on it's own
Intermission's a mission on it's own

So Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Grab your suitcase we don't have time to fold
Grab your suitcase we don't have time to fold

We don't have no time to fold
We don't have no time to fold
We don't have no time to fold
We don't have no time to fold


10.Prisoners Of Today(Album Version)

I never bite off more than I can chew,
But then she came and bit me
I never bite off more than I can chew but then she bit my leg
She said 'don't wanna work I wanna play and live my life like it
was Sunday!'
'The only problem is that Sunday only comes now once a week and
I'm a freak but...'

We're breaking up the city,
No time to waste away
So tell me why should we stay,
A prisoner of today

My body's tired, my souls excited and I wish that I was gifted,
My body's tired my soul's excited and I wish I had some spunk,
She said 'I wanna run, I wanna hide, and leave this place just
like it left me'
'The only problem is I need to find the balls to follow through
and that's the truth but...'

We're breaking up the city,
No time to waste away,
So tell me why should we stay,
A prisoner of today

(WE'RE BREAKING UP THE CITY!
NO TIME FOR WASTING AWAY!
SO TELL ME WHY SHOULD I STAY
A PRISONER OF TODAY!) x 2

A prisoner of no time for one another no time for one another no
time for one another no time for one another....

'Cause this is our time, this is our time, this is our time into
space
History I, history I, history I can't erase
But this is our time, this is our time, this is our time into
space

We're breaking up the city,
No time to waste away,
So tell me why should we stay,
A prisoner of today

WE'RE BREAKING UP THE CITY,
NO TIME FOR WASTING AWAY,
SO TELL ME WHY SHOULD I STAY,
A PRISONER OF TODAY x 2

A prisoner of no time for one another no time for one another no
time for one another no time for one another. No time for one
another, no time for one another

THERE'S NO TIME FOR ONE ANOTHER!
THERE'S NO TIME FOR ONE ANOTHER!


11.Nothing To Lose(Album Version)

Need more friends with wings
All the angels I know
Put concrete in my veins
I'd always walk home alone
So I became lifeless
Just like my telephone

There's nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There's nothing to gain
But the days don't seem to change

Never played truth or dare
I'd have to check my mirror
To see if I'm still here
My parents had no clue
That I ate all my lunches
Alone in the bathroom

There's nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There's nothing to gain
But the days don't seem to change
There's nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There's nothing to gain
And I can't fight the pain

Teachers said 'It's just a phase'
When I grow up my children
Will probably do the same
Kids just love to tease
Who'd know it put me underground at seventeen

There's nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There's nothing to gain
But the days don't seem to change
There's nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There's nothing to gain
And I can't fight the pain
There's nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There's nothing to gain
But the days don't seem to change
There's nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There's nothing to gain
And I just died today


12.Voices Of Violence(Album Version)

Dont wait for a knight in shining armor
Your savior's reflected in the mirror
These flowers have grown from blood stains on the ground

Go rake the leaves off your grass and my grave
The fact is everyone bleeds when they shave
Theres no use, so dont deny we're just the same

We'll take it back...
Broken dagger, southern swagger
Voices of violence, Voices of violence
(Yeah...Yeah...)
We'll take it back...
Broken dagger, southern swagger
Voices of violence, Voices of violence
(Yeah...Yeah...)

These cowboys will ride off through the sunset
Once their toys have turned another profit
Back fire, their smoking guns will never rest

Unleash the skeletons from the closet
These Strangers are friends that you've never met
They'll send them sympathies with a Hallmark card

We'll take it back...
Broken dagger, southern swagger
Voices of violence, Voices of violence
(Yeah...Yeah...)
We'll take it back...
Broken dagger, southern swagger
Voices of violence, Voices of violence
(Yeah...Yeah...)

Even after I'm dead and buried
I'll still remember, I'll still remember
Even after I'm dead and buried
I'll still remember. I'll Still Remember
Even after I'm dead and buried
I'll come back fighting, I'll come back fighting

Voices of violence, Voices of violence
(yeah...Yeah...)
We'll take it back...
Broken dagger, southern swagger
Voices of violence, Voices of violence
(Yeah...Yeah...)

Voices of violence will always be heard
Voices Of Violence, Voices Of Violence
Voices of violence will always be heard
Voices Of Violence, Voices Of Violence


13.This Is How It Goes(Demo)

Everybody is tired, and poor and sick of trying
If you see me on a corner, will you stop or will you splash me?
Take a look at what we've become
Nothing more than silhouettes of
A pretty family, on a postcard, picture perfect
I don't want it!

So I hold my breath 'till my heart explodes
'Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
'Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes

S**ty weather, bad timing, lucky penny glued to the ground
Dirty look from total stranger,
Hope you get lost and you're not found
Take a look at what we've become
Nothing more than silhouettes of
A pretty family, on a postcard, picture perfect
I don't want it!

So I hold my breath 'till my heart explodes
'Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
'Cause this is how it is and this is how it...

This is, how it, it goes!
This is, how it, it goes!
This is, how it, it goes!
This is, how it, it goes!

So unscrew my head
And rinse it out
Polish my thoughts
Turn into doubts
Unscrew my head
And rinse it out
Polish my thoughts
Turn into
Turn into doubts!

So I hold my breath 'till my heart explodes
'Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes
You can steal my body but you can't steal my soul
'Cause this is how it is and this is how it goes

15.Try Honesty(Demo)

Well I tripped, I fell down naked
Well I scratched my knees, they bled
Sew up my eyes, need no more
In our game there is no score

Cry agony, cry agony

Wild and insane, it's your fault, so sly
Your well of lies ran dry

From so high we seem so small

16.Line & Sinker(Live At Nova Rock Festival - Burgenland, Austria
2007)

What you see is what you get (don't ya know)
(Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker)
Look at me and don't forget (don't ya know)
(Hard to get a grip with all these broken fingers)
What you see is what you get (don't ya know)
(Fishing for the answer with a line and sinker)

18.The Ex(Demo)

Well, I looked at her face and then I knew she changed,
then my heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
yeah my heart turned black then the sky turned gray!

So I sat in my room for 27 days,
No she never called, I had something to say!
No she never called, I had something to say!

Well I don't know much, I don't know how...

Why would she put me through such torture,
I would have given my life for her,
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

Well, I heard she's great and her new boyfriend's lame,
She can go to hell I'll never be the same!
She can go to hell I'll never be the same!

And these open wounds will heal with time they say,
then my heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!
then my heart turned black and then the sky turned gray!

Well I don't know much, and I don't know how...

Why would she put me through such torture,
I would have given my life for her,
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

Why would she put me through such torture,
I would have given my life for her,
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

Well i dont know much, and i dont know how

Why would she put me through such torture,
I would have given my life for her,
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner

Why would she put me through such torture,
I would have given my life for her,
She was the one that knocked me over,
Now I'm alone sitting on the corner


19.River Below(Live At The Orange Lounge - Toronto, Canada 2007)

Rejected...since day one
My name is...bastard son
I've been damned...so many times I've lost count
Blue collar...working man
Devises...master plan
Bi-polar...with a mental side arm

I'm sick and I'm twisted
I'm broken you can't fix it
Don't make me, cause I'll do it
Red button and we'll all go

Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno...
They'll think I'm insane, but you'll all know my name!
Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno...
I'll take all the blame, the front page and the fame!

Contraption...made up of
Nuts and bolts...creates the
New monster...to burn your family tree down!
Tick-tocking...times up now
Split second...the world frowns
Lonely heart...never loved nobody!

I'm sick and I'm twisted
I'm broken an' you can't fix it
Don't make me, cause I'll do it
Red button and we'll all go

Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno...
They'll think I'm insane but you'll all know my name!
Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno...
I'll take all the blame, the front page and the fame!

I'll take all the blame
The front page and the fame
INTO THE RIVER BELOW
INTO THE RIVER BELOW
INTO THE RIVER BELOW
INTO THE RIVER BELOW

Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno...
They'll think I'm insane but you'll all know my name!
Into the river below...I'm running from the inferno...
I'll take all the blame, the front page and the fame!

Yeah I'll take all the blame
The front page and the fame
But you'll all know my name
And they'll think I'm insane
But you'll all know my name
But they'll think I'm insane


20.Standing In The Rain(Live Session At Metalworks - Mississauga,
Canada 2010)

My head, it hurts, each day it's getting worse,
My looks and smile have now become my curse,
Tight lips, red skirt the never ending street,
Big car, little man, my lover for a fee...

So if ya see me will ya just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye?
And if ya want me, well, I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you!

Standing in the rain...
milk carton mug-shot baby missing since 1983,
Standing in the rain...
20 years of dirty needles, rain drops running through my veins!

My head, it hurts, each day it's getting worse,
No sun, my room has now become my hearse,
Cold sores, I'm beat, got bruises on my feet,
My pride, these men have taken it from me!

So if ya see me will ya just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye?
And if ya want me, well, I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you!

Standing in the rain...
milk carton mug-shot baby missing since 1983,
Standing in the rain...
20 years of dirty needles, rain drops running through my veins!
Standing in the rain...
milk carton mug-shot baby missing since 1983,
Standing in the rain...
20 years of dirty needles, rain drops running through my veins!

So if ya see me will ya just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye?
And if ya want me, well, I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you!

Standing in the rain...
Standing in the rain...
Standing in the rain...
milk carton mug-shot baby mother I have lost my way...
Standing in the rain...
milk carton mug-shot baby missing since 1983,
Standing in the rain...
20 years of dirty needles rain drops running through my veins
Standing in the rain...
Mother I have lost my way...
Standing in the rain...
Mother I have lost my way


21.Cut The Curtains(Demo)

Oh my girl
You're so hot when you walk you melt snow
And now that disco has finally grown old
Lets buy back our souls
So lets see
We've got 5 bucks between you and me
My mental dishes are finally clean
So cleared are we

Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Intermission's a mission on it's own
Intermission's a mission on it's own

Now here seems our wax wings have melted away
And we've only been here for one day
My faith fades away
So don't be a gray cloud when there's none in the sky
We found theres no hidden treasure to find
At least we tried

Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Intermission's a mission on it's own
Intermission's a mission on it's own


So Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Grab your suitcase we don't have time to fold
Grab your suitcase we don't have time to fold

There is no doubt you throw your inbox out
I said There is no doubt you throw your inbox out
I said There is no doubt you throw your inbox out
There is no doubt you throw your inbox out
There is no doubt you throw your inbox out
There is no doubt you throw your inbox out
There is no doubt you throw your inbox out

Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Intermission's a mission on it's own
Intermission's a mission on it's own

So Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Cut the Curtains the actors have gone home
Grab your suitcase we don't have time to fold
Grab your suitcase we don't have time to fold

We don't have no time to fold
We don't have no time to fold
We don't have no time to fold
We don't have no time to fold


22.Prisoners Of Today(Demo)

I never bite off more than I can chew,
But then she came and bit me
I never bite off more than I can chew but then she bit my leg
She said 'don't wanna work I wanna play and live my life like it
was Sunday!'
'The only problem is that Sunday only comes now once a week and
I'm a freak but...'

We're breaking up the city,
No time to waste away
So tell me why should we stay,
A prisoner of today

My body's tired, my souls excited and I wish that I was gifted,
My body's tired my soul's excited and I wish I had some spunk,
She said 'I wanna run, I wanna hide, and leave this place just
like it left me'
'The only problem is I need to find the balls to follow through
and that's the truth but...'

We're breaking up the city,
No time to waste away,
So tell me why should we stay,
A prisoner of today

(WE'RE BREAKING UP THE CITY!
NO TIME FOR WASTING AWAY!
SO TELL ME WHY SHOULD I STAY
A PRISONER OF TODAY!) x 2

A prisoner of no time for one another no time for one another no
time for one another no time for one another....

'Cause this is our time, this is our time, this is our time into
space
History I, history I, history I can't erase
But this is our time, this is our time, this is our time into
space

We're breaking up the city,
No time to waste away,
So tell me why should we stay,
A prisoner of today

WE'RE BREAKING UP THE CITY,
NO TIME FOR WASTING AWAY,
SO TELL ME WHY SHOULD I STAY,
A PRISONER OF TODAY x 2

A prisoner of no time for one another no time for one another no
time for one another no time for one another. No time for one
another, no time for one another

THERE'S NO TIME FOR ONE ANOTHER!
THERE'S NO TIME FOR ONE ANOTHER!


23.Nothing To Lose(Live At Phillipshalle)

Need more friends with wings
All the angels I know
Put concrete in my veins
I'd always walk home alone
So I became lifeless
Just like my telephone

There's nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There's nothing to gain
But the days don't seem to change

Never played truth or dare
I'd have to check my mirror
To see if I'm still here
My parents had no clue
That I ate all my lunches
Alone in the bathroom

There's nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There's nothing to gain
But the days don't seem to change
There's nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There's nothing to gain
And I can't fight the pain

Teachers said 'It's just a phase'
When I grow up my children
Will probably do the same
Kids just love to tease
Who'd know it put me underground at seventeen

There's nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There's nothing to gain
But the days don't seem to change
There's nothing to lose
My notebook will explain
There's nothing to gain
And I can't fight the pain
There's nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There's nothing to gain
But the days don't seem to change
There's nothing to lose
When no one knows your name
There's nothing to gain
And I just died today


24.Voices Of Violence(Live At Norwegian Wood Festival - Oslo, Norway
2008)

Dont wait for a knight in shining armor
Your savior's reflected in the mirror
These flowers have grown from blood stains on the ground

Go rake the leaves off your grass and my grave
The fact is everyone bleeds when they shave
Theres no use, so dont deny we're just the same

We'll take it back...
Broken dagger, southern swagger
Voices of violence, Voices of violence
(Yeah...Yeah...)
We'll take it back...
Broken dagger, southern swagger
Voices of violence, Voices of violence
(Yeah...Yeah...)

These cowboys will ride off through the sunset
Once their toys have turned another profit
Back fire, their smoking guns will never rest

Unleash the skeletons from the closet
These Strangers are friends that you've never met
They'll send them sympathies with a Hallmark card

We'll take it back...
Broken dagger, southern swagger
Voices of violence, Voices of violence
(Yeah...Yeah...)
We'll take it back...
Broken dagger, southern swagger
Voices of violence, Voices of violence
(Yeah...Yeah...)

Even after I'm dead and buried
I'll still remember, I'll still remember
Even after I'm dead and buried
I'll still remember. I'll Still Remember
Even after I'm dead and buried
I'll come back fighting, I'll come back fighting

Voices of violence, Voices of violence
(yeah...Yeah...)
We'll take it back...
Broken dagger, southern swagger
Voices of violence, Voices of violence
(Yeah...Yeah...)

Voices of violence will always be heard
Voices Of Violence, Voices Of Violence
Voices of violence will always be heard
Voices Of Violence, Voices Of Violence
