1.Poor Born
I was poor born out in tin town
I'd sing along with jerry lee records
Trying to get my moves down
I was skinny, i was big-nosed
The only thing i had on my mind
Was trying to do the 'please don't'
I'm pissed off, pissed off, pissed off
It's just the way i am
I was wasted, i was dumb-struck
I'd wake up in the bottom of something
Being loaded in a dump truck
I was so gone, i was dead-eyed
I've been screaming at the top of my lungs
Since 1965
I'm pissed off, pissed off, pissed off
It's just the way i am
I've been rocked out, i can't cool down
I've got a woman who still makes me crazy
With the shake of her nightgown
I'm still nervous, i ain't been broken
I'm still churning and burning inside
And i can't stop smokin'
I'm pissed off, pissed off, pissed off
It's just the way i am
2.Cast Will Change
Wish i'd been born on a georgia farm
Wish i'd never seen the city's harm
Wish i'd been sown like an innocent seed
Stranded in the country 'stead of on the street
Sooner or later the cast will change
Watched my face as it turned to stone
Thinkin' things be better if i went back home
My friends ain't different, it's me that's changed
To wait so long and feel so strange
Sooner or later the cast will change
Some may come and some may go
Nothing lasts forever don't you know
I've been waitin' such a long, long, long time
Had a lotta people try to break my stride
Sooner or later the cast will change
3.Too Far Gone
Down to dixon, razor's edge
Cuts like water, runs so red
And now, too far gone
Asked myself 'what the hell went wrong ？'
Too many windows, looking in
They can see you but you can't see them
And now, too far gone
Asked myself 'what the hell went wrong ？'
Into the white room, tracks on the wall
Maybe it's a nightmare, really nothing at all
But now, too far gone
And i asked myself 'what the hell went wrong ？'
Ain't no reason for you to feel had
I gave it my best shot, it just went bad
And now, too far gone
And i asked myself 'what the hell went wrong ？'
4.Day After Day
Day after day we threw our cares away
Waiting for tomorrow, never living for today
We lined up in the trenches, holding higher ground
We looked away for answers but nothing could be found
(chorus)
And i swear, we won't keep standing still
Here to take your heat
The rain's about to fall
We're taking to the streets
Day after day nothing ever changed
Was it any wonder we all began to stray
Some of us for money, some of us for fame
Our goals were so impossible no one could take aim
Day after day the hours wore away
Regretting what we'd missed, closer to the grave
We're the broken generation, we don't know who we are
Fought for every losing cause and now we hide the scars
5.Two Fell Away
I have been through this before
It can't hurt me anymore
Where does it start to end
Why do we then pretend
Someone who still believes
But that ain't me
I'm still shipwrecked and confused
Why does someone have to lose
Awaiting that nowhere flight
Watching as you go by
Someone's about to leave
But that ain't me
And on the pilot's screen
You rid your life of everything
You're on your way
And as the trapdoor closed
I said my prayers before you rose and fell away
Fell away, fell away, o no no no
Time forgets, i never will
And i can't help the way i feel
Strange how we seem to know
Which way our lives will go
Someone's about to leave
But that ain't me
6.Killing Me
Sinister love came knocking on my bedroom door
I had this kind of thing happen once before
Spent most of my life in recovery
So tell me, tell me babe
Why are you killing me
Seen a lot of bad trips coming and i've been on a few
Got a nightmare premonition that you're real bad news
Behind your looks there's another side nobody sees
So tell me, tell me babe
Why are you killing me
I shoulda been smart and got out while the gettin' was good
I woulda been better off if only i could
But you made me love the side of you nobody sees
So tell me, tell me babe
Why are you killing me
7.It's O.k
(chorus)
It's okay, we've all seen better days
It's okay, you don't have to run and hide away
It's okay
It's okay, yeah we love you anyway
For in those reckless moments
When doubt is creeping in your head
Feeling like you've lost your youth
And the dreams you had are cold and dead
I can't reach you anymore
That's gonna take a different man
I can't protect you like before
You've slipped beyond my hands
But it's okay.......
I wish that i could light the path
That leads to a life of no mistakes
Hold you from the damned be done
That living out of safety seems to take
I remember still the child in you
As if only yesterday
It was easy to break through
I only had to kiss the pain
But it's okay.......
This is my chance, this is my life
And my opening hour
This is my choice, this is my voice
There may be no tomorrow
This is my plea, this is my need
This is my time for standing free
This is my step, this is my depth
In a world demanding of me
But is's okay.......
8.Back To Back
You own the stations and it's one against one
Turn it up or get it off
You've got the power and the money and the guns
So what's the deal ？ it's only bucks
You say your cause is the wreckage of the judged
Do it right or cut it out
You use excuses like you're working with a crutch
Don't play dumb, so what's one
So this is your page, shot down twice
Afraid to take chances that can burn up your life
And you hang in the balance 'cause nobody cares
I've seen your ways, they're going nowhere
Break out the jack, you could've been a rolling stone
You've gotten older but you still feel like a kid
Go back to back, do what you did
You're just a passenger and life is but the course
Break some rules, be a force
Back to back
9.The Dead Line
Welcome to the riot, it's saturday night
I'm workin' on red eyes but i'm feeling alright
Ain't it like a living end, and burning like a flame
I take it to the limit before the glory fades
You say our music's brainless-boring punk rock
A psychedelic nightmare, but when they gonna stop
Andrew's on daniel's, toody's on bliss
It's all i ever wanted, the best it ever gets
My head's a little scattered 'cause i'm working on the dead line
There's a panic going backstage, something just broke
Edwin's got a flashlight, looking through the smoke
Monitors squeeling and i just broke a string
And andrew's got beer sprayed all over everything
Someone tripped the power, the lights are going dim
People hanging outside trying to get in
Toody's yelling something, i must be out of tune
That's the least of my problems, can't hear nothing in this room
My head's a little scattered 'cause i'm working on the dead line
Yeah, my life's a broken wire but i'm getting my kicks
Another night of chaos with edwin on the mix
Time to load equipment, where the hell did andrew go ？
Weeden's got the t-shirts, and records on the floor
Hans and ruud are talking, man, i need a cigarette
They say we're playing vera, if we don't get in a wreck
Toody holds the lighter, when someone has to ask
'so why's the candle burning ？' 'cause nothing ever lasts'
My head's a little scattered 'cause i'm working on the dead line
10.Times Are A Changing(Bob Dylan)
Come gather 'round people wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin'
Ahh you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen
Keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin
There's no tellin' who that it's namin'
The loser now will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
Don't criticize what you can't understand
Your sons and daughters are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'
So get out of the new one it can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'
11.Unknown Passage(Another Version)
There's a red light on the hill
And a bridge out going down
There's a city limits marker
Of an unfamiliar town
With my head slightly bent
I can see it in the light
Unknown passage
Cuttin' like a knife through the night
Headlights on the highway
There's a mist coming down
I can hear someone crying
I know that sound
It's the morning before daybreak
A hundred miles down the line
Unknown passage
Cuttin' like a knife through the night
Asked 'where are you going ？'
Somewhere far away
She was standing at the window
I won't forget her face
With my suitcase and my old car
I'm driving somewhere blind
Unknown passage
Cuttin' like a knife through the night
Cuttin' like a knife through my eyes
