1.Chinese Democracy
It don't really matter
You'll find out for yourself
No it don't really matter
You're gonna leave these thing to
Somebody else
If they missionaries
Real time visionaries
Sitting in a Chinese stew
To view my dis-infatu-ation
I know that I'm a classic case
Watch my disenchanted face
Blame it on the falungong
They've seen the end
and you can't hold on now
Cause it would take a lot more hate than you
To stop the fascination
Even with an iron fist
Our baby got to rule the nation
But all I got is precious time
It don't really matter
You're gonna find out for yourself
No it don't really matter
So you can hear now from
Somebody else
Cause it would take a lot more time than you
I've got more masturbation
Even with your iron fist
Our baby got to rule the nation
but all I got is precious time
Our baby got to rule the nation
but all I got is precious time
It don't really matter
Gonna keep it to myself
No it don't really matter
So you can hear it now from
Somebody else
You think you got it all locked up inside
And if you beat them enough, they'll die
It's like a walk in the park from a cell
And now you're keeping your own kind in hell
When you pray for us, blame yourself
While their arms reach up for your help
And you're out of time
2.Shackler's Revenge
I've got a funny feeling
There's something wrong today
I've got a funny feeling
And it won't go away
I've got an itchy finger
And there'll be Hell to pay
I'm gonna pull the trigger
And blow them all away
Don't ever try to tell me
How much you care for me
Don't ever try to tell me
How you were there for me
I don't believe there's a reason
(I don't) I don't believe it
I don't believe there's a reason
(I should) I don't believe it
I've got a wicked demon
His hunger never fades
I've got an empty feeling
I won't be home today
Don't ever try to tell me
How much you care for me
Don't ever try to tell me
How you were there for me
I don't believe there's a reason
(I don't) I don't believe it
I don't believe there's a reason
(I should) I don't believe it
I don't believe there's a reason
(I don't) I don't believe it
I don't believe there's a reason
(I should) I don't believe it
No one is stopping you from doing what you want to do
No one is stopping you now, stopping you now
I don't believe there's a reason
(I don't) I don't believe it
I don't believe there's a reason
(I should) I don't believe it
I don't believe there's a reason
(I don't) I don't believe it
I don't believe there's a reason
(I should) I don't believe it
3.Better
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
The hardest part, this troubled heart
Has ever yet been through now
You've healed the scars that got their start
Inside someone like you now
Had I known, ah, I been shown
Back when along he take me
To break the charge that brought me home
And all but one erase me
I never won, not that I could
No matter what you pay me
Replay the part, you stole my heart
I should have known you're crazy
If all I knew one night with you
I'd want someone to save me
It'd be enough, but just my luck
I fell in love and baby
All that I wanted was
Now I'm gone, you better
You know I know better
Now I know you better
So bittersweet, this tragedy
Wont ask for absolution
This melody inside of me
Still searches for a solution
A twist of fate,the change of heart
Cures my infatuation
A broken heart provides a start
For my determination
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
All that I wanted was
I know you know, you know better
You know I know better
Now you know me better
I never wanted you to be so full of anger
I never wanted you to be somebody else
I never wanted you to be someone afraid to know themselves
I only wanted you to see things for yourself
All that I wanted was
Now I'm gone, you better
Now we all know better
All I wanted was
Never thought that with you I'd manage to avoid the invitation
Of promised love that cant keep up with your adoration
Just use your head, and in the end you'll find your inspiration
To choose your steps and wont regret this kind of aggravation
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
No one ever told me when I was alone
They just thought I'd know better, better
4.Street of Dreams
All the love in the world couldn't save you
All the innocence inside
You know I tried so hard to make you
Oh, to make you change your mind
And it hurts too much to see you
And how you left yourself behind
You know I wouldn't want to be you
Now there's a hell I can't describe
So now I wander through my days
And try to find my ways
To the feelings that I felt
I saved for you and no one else
And though as long as this road seems
I know it's called the street of dreams
But that's not stardust on my feet
It leaves a taste that's bittersweet
That's called the blues
I don't know just what I should do
Everywhere I go I see you
Though it's what you planned
This much is true
What I thought was beautiful
Don't live inside of you
Anymore
I don't know just what I should do
Everywhere I go, I see you
And though it's what you planned
This much is true
What I thought was beautiful
Don't live inside of you
Anymore
What this means to me is more
Than I know you believe
What I thought of you now
Has cost more than it should for me
What I thought was true before
Were lies I couldn't see
What I thought was beautiful,
Is only memories
5.If the World
if the world would end today - ay
all the dreams we had would all just drift away, oh
no, there's nothing more to say
if the world would end and all loves drift away
I never knew the way that you looked at me
would ever mean so much to me
in my heart I found the feelings ive never shown
now the got the best of meee
if the world would end today - ay
all the dreams we had would all just drift away, oh
no, there's nothing more to say
if the world would end and all loves drift away
I never thought all the love I was looking for
could ever be so close to me
you're the only one I have ever loved and has ever loved me
and now you've got the best of me
if the world would end today - ay
all the dreams we had would all just drift away, oh
no, there's nothing more to say ay ay ay
if the world would end today - ay
all the dreams we had would all just drift away, oh
no, there's nothing more to say
if the world would end and all love slipped away
6.There Was a Time
Broken glass and cigarettes
Writin' on the wall
It was a bargain for the summer
And I thought I had it all
I was the one who gave you everything
The one who took the fall
You were the one who would do anything
The one who can't recall
Where she was while she was sleepin'
In another women's bed
Or the doctor's or the lawyer's
Or the stranger that she met
If there's nothin' that I can gain from this
Or anything at all
It'd be the knowledge that you gave me
When I thought I'd heard it all
It was a long time for you
It was a long time for me
It'd be a long time for anyone but
Looks like it's meant to be
Social class and registers
Cocaine in the hall
All the way from California
On the way to your next call
To those non-negotiations
To stimulate a cause
For the betterment ofevils
And your ways around the laws
That keep you up and sitting pretty
On a pedestal or bed
And now you're sleeping like an angel
Never mind who gave you head
If there's somethin' I can make of this
Or anything at all
It'd be the devil hates a loser
And you thought you had it all
It was the wrong time for you
It was the wrong time for me
It was the wrong time for anyone but
Looks like I'm 'bout to see for myself
If I could go back in time
To the place in my soul
There all alone
Lonely teardrops ooh
Are callin' you
But I don't want to know it now
Cause knowin' you
It won't change a damn thing
But there was a time
Yeah there was a time
Didn't want ta know it all...
Didn't wanna know it all...
N' I don't wanna know it now
Yeah there was a time
Didn't want ta know it all...
Didn't wanna know it all...
N' I don't wanna know it now
Oh I would do anything for you
There was a time
I would do anything for you
I would do anything for you
There was a time
There was a time
I would do anything for you
Yeah, there was a time
Didn't want ta know it all...
Didn't wanna know it all...
N' I don't wanna know it now
I would do...
Didn't want to know at all...
Anything for you
Didn't wanna know at all...
N' I don't wanna know it now
There was a time...
7.Catcher in the Rye
When all is said and done
We're not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That's what the old folks say
But every time I see them
Makes me wish I had a gun
If I thought that I was crazy
Well, I guess I'd have more fun
I guess I'd have more fun
Ooh, Catcher in the Rye again
Ooh, Wont let you get away from him
It's just another day
Like today
You decide
I dont have to
Then they'll find
That I wont ask you
At any time
Or long thereafter
If it's cold outside
I'm imagining
Oh no
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Ooh, Catcher in the Rye again
Ooh, Wont let you get away from him
It's just another day
Like today
When all is said and done
We're not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That's what the young folks say
As if they'd ever change
As that, who am I to say？
But every time I'd see them
Makes me wish I had a gun
If I thought that I was crazy
Well, I guess I'd have more fun
'Cause what used to be's
Not going to be
And ought to find someone that belongs
Insane, like I do
Not an ordinary day, not in an ordinary way
All at once this song I heard
Never longer would it play
For anybody or anyone
That needed comfort from somebody
And needed comfort from someone
Who cared to be
Not like you
Not like me
In an ordinary way for me
Somebody set the wheels in motion
Hearts are memories
So you were the instrument
You were the one
Somebody took the body
Gave that boy a gun
Took our innocence
Beyond our stance
Some type of moment
There ya got it
The only thing you did
8.Scraped
(Ay-o) Don't you try to stop us now
(Ay-o) I just refuse
(Ay-o) Don't you try to stop us now
(Ay-o) Cause I won't just let you
Sometimes I feel like
The world is on top of me
Breakin' me down with
An endless monotony
Sometimes I feel like
There's nothing that's stopping me
All things are possible
I am unstoppable
Some may convince you
No one can break through
I'm here to tell you
You're worth more than they tell you
(Ay-o) Don't you try to stop us now
(Ay-o) I just refuse
(Ay-o) Don't you try to stop us now
(Ay-o) Cause I won't just let you
Sometimes I feel like
My life's a catastrophe
Can't understand why
It seems like it has to be
Sometimes I feel like
It's all opened up for me
Nothing's impossible
I am inconquerable
No one canmake you
Do what they want to
You know you're stronger
Than the lies
That they tell you
(Ay-o) Don't you try to stop us now (I'd give anything to know)
(Ay-o) I just refuse
(Ay-o) Don't you try to stop us now (I would have never made it
so far)
(Ay-o) Cause I won't just let you
Some may convince you
No one can break through
You know you're stronger
Than the lies that they tell you
(Ay-o) Don't you try to stop us now (I'd give anything to know)
(Ay-o) I just refuse (How you live with yourself)
(Ay-o) Don't you try to stop us now (I would have never made it
so far)
(Ay-o) Cause I won't just let you (All by myself)
(Ay-o) Don't you try to stop us now (I'd give anything to know)
(Ay-o) I just refuse (How you live with yourself)
(Ay-o) Don't you try to stop us now (I would have never made it
so far)
(Ay-o) Cause I won't just let you (All by myself)
Believe in yourself
9.Riad N' the Bedouins
Riad N' the Bedouins
Had a plan and thought they'd win
But I dont give a fuck 'bout them
Cause I am crazy
Oh, my salvation
N' my frustrations
Caught in the lies no one had wove as well
Somewhere in time
Where only I could tell
Ooh...
Riad N' the Bedouins
Say that's a war you can't win
But I have had enough of them
And who can blame me
Sands of time and desert winds
Nomads and barbarians
I won't bend my will to them
You aggravate me
Oh, my salvation
N' my frustrations
Caught in the lies no one had wove as well
Somewhere in time
Where only I could tell
Oh, sweet salvation
Like all my frustrations
Caught in the lies no one had wove as well
Somewhere in time
Then only I could tell
Oh...
Riad N' The Bedouins
Had a plan and thought they'd win
Riad N' The Bedouins
Crossed the line and lost again
Riad N' The Bedouins
Crossed the line and lost again
10.Sorry
You like to hurt me
You know that you do
You like to think in some way
That it's me, are not you
(But we know that isn't true)
You like to have me
Jump an be god
But I don't want to do it
You don't know why
I won't act the way
You think I should
You thought they'd make me
Behave an submit (submit)
What were you thinking
Cause I don't forget
You don't know why
I won't give in
To hell with the pressure
I'm not cavin' in
You know that I
Got under your skin
You sold your soul
But I won't let you win
You talk too much
You say I do
Difference is nobody cares about you
You've got all the answers
You know everything
Why nobody asked you
's a mystery to me
I'm sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You don't know who in the hell to
or not to believe
I'm sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You don't know who you can trust now
Or you should believe
You should believe
You don't know who you can trust now
Or you should believe
You close your eyes
As well an good
I'l kick your ass
Like I said I would
You tell them stories
They'd rather believe
Use and confuse them
They're numb and naive
Truth is the truth hurts
Don't you agree
It's harder to live
With the truth about you
Than to live with
The lies about me
Nobody owes you
Not on egoddamn thing
You know where to put your
Just shut up and sing
I'm sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You don't know who in the hell to
Or not to believe
I'm sorry for you
Not sorry for me
You choose to hurt those that love you
An won't see them free
Won't see them free
You choose to hurt those that love you
An won't see them free
You don't need
Anyone else to be
Sorry for you
You've got no heart
You can't see
All that you've done for me
I know the reasons
You tear me apart
11.I.R.S.
Love
Is it true
What they say of you
Gonna call the President
Gonna call a Private Eye
Gonna get the IRS
Gonna need the FBI
There's not anymore that I can do
All the reasons that you gave
I follow you
When you feel the difference
Baby there's no time, it's true
Wouldnt be the first time I've been WRONG
Wouldnt be the last I'M SURE, I've Known
with all the rumors I can tell,
Some things didn't work so well
Well anyway, it feels the same
When you first told me you were gone,
So long ago but I still held on
Through all the EMOTIONS that I've had to take
I've found the truth and here's the worst yet
Wouldn't even matter the things that I say
You've made your mind up and gone anyway
And there's no use now in dragging it on
Should've seen it coming all along
Well it's true....ooh....I had,
My doubts of you
Gonna call the President
Gonna call myself a Private Eye
Gonna need the IRS
Gonna get the FBI
Gonna make it a federal case
Gonna wave it right down in your face
Read it baby with your morning news
With a sweet hangover
And the headlines too, now
Wha you think I'm doing this all for my health？
I should've looked again then at somebody else
Feelin' like I've done way more than wrong
Feelin' like I'm living inside of this song
Feelin' like I'm just too tired to care
Feelin' like I done more than my share
Could've been the way that I carried on
Like a broken record for so long
And I do
Ooh, oh.
I'm Gonna call the President,
I'm gonna call a private Eye
Gonna get the IRS,
Gonna need myself the FBI.
oooh, what shall I do
If I gave my heart to you
It's such a crime you now it's true
Gonna call the president
Gonna call myself a private eye
Ooh, gonna need the IRS
Gonna get the FBI
Gonna make it a federal case
Gonna wave it right down in your face
read it baby with your morning news
With the sweet hangover and the headlines too
There's not anymore that I can do
12.Madagascar
I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
That I can't find my way back, my way anymore
No I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
That I can't find my way back, my way anymore
No, I...
Forgive that they teared down my soul
Bless them that they might grow old
A dream that's forgotten may know
That it's never too late
So many times that I've seen life before me
I searched and found the way to choose to the end
I found a way, to know, why it had to be
Mired in denial and saw all the rain
If we ever find it true
Love will have its way to choose
Three more to tame
We can be ever
I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
And I can't find my way back, my way anymore
No I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought back in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
That I can't find my way back, my way anymore
13.This I Love
And now I don't know why
She wouldn't say goodbye
But then it seems that I
Had seen it in her eyes.
And it might not be wise
I'd still have to try
With all the love I have inside
I can't deny
I just can't let it die
Cause her heart's just like mine
And she holds her pain inside
So if you ask me why
She wouldn't say goodbye
I know somewhere inside
There is a special light
Still shining bright
And even on the darkest night
She can't deny
So if she's somewhere near me
I hope to God she hears me
There's no one else
Could ever make me feel
I'm so alive
I hoped she'd never leave me
Please God you must believe me
I've searched the universe
And found myself within' her eyes
No matter how I try
They say it's all a lie
So what's the use of my
Confessions to a crime
Of passions that won't die
In my heart
So if she's somewhere near me
I hope to God she hears me
There's no one else
Could ever make me feel
I'm so alive
I hoped she'd never leave me
Please God you must believe me
I've searched the universe
And found myself within' her eyes
So if she's somewhere near me
I hope to God she hears me
There's no one else
Could ever make me feel
I'm so alive
I hoped she'd never leave me
Please God you must believe me
I've searched the universe
And found myself within' her eyes
And now I don't know why
She wouldn't say goodbye
It just might be that I
Had seen it in her eyes
And now it seems that I
Gave up my ghost of pride
I'll never say goodbye
14.Prostitute
Seems Like Forever,
And A Day,
If My Intentions,
Are Misunderstood,
Please Be Kind,
I've Done,
All I Should...
I Won't Ask,
Of You,
What I Would,
Not Do
Oh, I Saw The Damage In You,
My Fortune Had Won the ending You
Why Would They Tell Me To Please Don't Just Laugh, In My Face
When All Of The Reasons They Taugh Us Fall Over Themselves To
Give Way
Its Not A Question Whether My Heart Is True,
Streamed Line
I Had To Pull Through,
Look For A New Beginning,
On You,
Woah, I Got A Message For You,
Open A Way, Its What I've Got To Do...
Give What You Have, For What You Might Lose
What Would You Say If I Told You That I'm To Blame
And What Would You Do If I Had To Deny, Your Name
Where Would You Go If I Told You I Love You And Then Walked
Away？
Who Should I Tell If Not For The Ones,
That You Could Not Save,
Ooh, Now,
I Told You When I Found You
If There Was Doubts You
Should Be Careful and unafraid
Now They Surround You
All That Amounts To
Is Love That You've Crippled For Fortune And Fame!
If My Affections
Are Misunderstood
And You, Decide,
I'm Up, To No Good
Don't Ask, Me To
Enjoy Them, Just For You
Ask Yourself,
What I Would Do
To Prostitute, Myself,
To Live With Fortune And Shame
Ooh, Yea,
When You Should Have Turned To The Hearts Of The Ones
That You Would Not Save,
Ooh, Now,
I Told You
When I Found You
All That Amounts To
Is Love That You've Crippled For Fortune And Fame!
