Silverchair Best Of Silverchair Vol.1 Lyrics
1.Anthem For The Year 2000

We are the youth
We'll take your fascism away
We are the youth
Apologise for another day
We are the youth
And politicians are so sure
We are the youth
And we are knocking on death's door

Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
Where innocence is so short
We'll make it up to you
In the year 2000 with...

Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
Where innocence is so short

We'll make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000 with you

Never knew we were living in a world
With a world that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
World who cares at all

We'll make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it hard for you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it hard for you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000 with you


2.Freak

No more maybes

sittin on a ball
in th middle of the Andes

Yeah i'm a freak (of nature)
Yeah I'm a freak

If only I could be as cool as you

Body and soul I'm a freak I'm a freak
Body and soul I'm a freak

If only I could be as cool as you

3.Ana's Song(Open Fire)

Please die Ana
For as long as you're here we're not
You make the sound of laughter
and sharpened nails seem softer
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

Imagine pageant
In my head the flesh seems thicker
Sandpaper tears corrode the film

And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

And you're my obsession
I love you to the bones
And Ana wrecks your life
Like an Anorexia life

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you
Open fire on the needs designed
Open fire on my knees desires
On my knees for you


4.Emotion Sickness

Erupt again ignore the pill
And i won't let it show
Sacrifice the tortures
Orchestral tear cash-flow

Increase delete escape defeat
It's all that matters to you
Cotton case for an iron pill
Distorted eyes
When everything is clearly dying

Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and
E-motion sickness
Addict with no heroine
E-motion sickness
Distorted eyes
When everything is clearly dying

Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and pray
Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and pray
Get up get up get up get up
Get up get up get up
Won't you stop my pain

E-motion sickness
Addict with no heroine
Good things will pass
It helps with excess access
Lessons learnt

E-motion sickness
Lessons learnt


5.Israel's Son

Hate, is what I feel for you
And I want you to know that I want you dead
Your late, for the execution
If your not here soon, I'll kill a friend instead

Over pain, I fear you
You'll then start to hear you
Over an hour, I get to

I hate you, and your apathy
You can leave, you can leave
I don't want you here
I'm playin this pantomime
But I don't see ya showing any signs of fear

Over pain, I fear you
You'll then start to hear you
Over an hour, I get to
This time I'm for real
My pain cannot hear you
You will be dead when I'm through

Hate, is what I feel for you
And I want you to know that I want you dead
Your late, for the execution
If your not here soon I'll kill a friend instead

Over pain, I fear you
You'll then start to hear you
Over an hour, I get to
This time I'm for real
My pain cannot hear you
You will be dead when I'm through
Ohhh, ohhhhhh

Pain, and execution
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air
The air, yeah

Aaaarrggghhhh
I am, I am israel's son
Israel's son I am
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air

I am, I am israel's son
Israel's son I am
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air
Aaaarrggghhhh, yeah


6.Tomorrow

It's twelve o'clock, and it's a wonderful day,
I know you hate me, but I'll ask anyway,
Won't you come with me, to a place in a little town,
The only way to get there's to go straight down,
There's no bathroom, and there is no sink,
The water out of the tap is very, hard to drink,
Very hard to drink,

You, wait til tomorrow,
You, wait til tomorrow,

You say that money, isn't everything,
But I'd like to see you live without it,
You think you can keep on going living like a king,
Oohh babe, but I strongly doubt it,

Very hard to drink,
Very hard to drink,
You gonna wait too, fat boy,
Fat boy, wait til tomorrow,
You gonna wait too, fat boy,
Fat boy, wait til tomorrow,

You, wait til tomorrow,
You, wait til tomorrow,
You gonna wait too, fat boy,
Fat boy, wait til tomorrow,
You gonna wait too, fat boy,
Fat boy, wait til tomorrow.


7.Cemetery

Need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
All the ones who hate

I may be late
Always seem to get the wrong date
Well I guess it's fate

I live in a cemetery
Full of good will and integrity
You see
I have no specialty

Here's your warning
I'll give you click clikc boom

I live in a cemetery
I need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate

I live in a cemetery


8.The Door

Could've been like before
Could've had to lock the door

Make your mind
Let the door let the door swing
Only one
Only one to let the door

Wanted to pretend he's dead
Didn't have to pretend

All this and more
Makes no sense to me
All this and more
Makes me drown

Let me know if it's alright
Let me know if you just might


9.Miss You Love

Millionaire say
Got a big shot deal
And thrown it all away but
But i'm not too sure
How i'm supposed to feel
Or what i'm supposed to say

But i'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle every day
And i miss you love

Make room for the prey
'cause i'm coming in
With what i wanna say but
It's gonna hurt
And i love the pain
A breeding ground for hate but...

I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people

Remember today
I've no respect for you
And i miss you love
And i miss use love

I love the way you love
But i hate the way
I'm supposed to love you back

It's just a fad
Part of the teenage angst brigade and
I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people

Remember today
I've no respect for you
And i miss you love
And i miss use love

Remember two days
I've no respect for you
And i miss you love
And i miss use love

I love the way you love
But i hate the way
I'm supposed to love you back


10.Abuse me

Need to ask a question
Calling out my name
Nothing seems to bother
Wish I had a clue

C'mon abuse me more I like it

Well I don't think you like me
Well I hate you as well
No one seems to like you
Wish I couldn't tell

C'mon abuse me more I like it
C'mon keep talking 'cause it's true

Throw the sailors overboard


11.Pure Massacre

People, dying, for no reason at all,
Age is no difference or if you're large or small
Families, been torn apart,
Doesn't have to be this way,
Some people, just have no heart,
It's happening every day,

Pure massacre,
Pure massacre...
Pure massacre,
Pure massacre...

Machine guns pumping,
Hearts thumping,
Death is all around, yeah,
People crying for freedom,
No one hears the sound, ohhh,

Pure massacre,
Pure massacre...
Pure massacre,
Pure massacre...alright,

There's people crying,
There's people dying,
But someone's taken it all, yeah,

Machine guns pumping,
Hearts thumping,
Death is all around,
People crying for freedom,
No one hears the sound,

Pure massacre,
Pure massacre,
Pure massacre,
Pure massacre,
Pure massacre,
Pure massacre,
It's gonna be,
A pure massacre,
Yeah


12.Untitled

I'm just another body down
Internal bleeding round and round
And all can think of are ways to die alone
And all can think of are ways to die alone

A portrait of my skeletal gain
Left selfish and hungry so feed me the pain
Escape reality with new pain
Then let the cycle start again

And all can think of are ways to die alone
And all can think of are ways to die alone
Dream of content a pain filtered farm
All I can say

Dreams are bad when all they do is leave the truth behind
Dreams are bad when negativity's a state of mind

Dreams are bad when all they do is leave the truth behind
Dreams are bad


13.New Race

There's gonna be a new race
Kids are gonna start it up
I'm gonna mutate
Our kids'll say 'Yeah, Ha!'

Yeah, Ha! We're really gonna punch you out
Yeah, Ha! We're really gonna punch you out
Yeah, Ha! We're really gonna punch you out
Yeah, Ha! We're really gonna punch you
oh yeah

Sick of waking up late,
We gotta get your control,
Kids are gonna mutate,


Sick of (secular time?)
Keeps faking us out
Our kids are gonna reject
(???) gonna punch you!


14.Trash

One, two, three, four!

Welcome! Nothing short of anarchy
It's so hard to find out who you wanna be
Welcome! Nothing short of anarchy
It's so hard to find out who you wanna be - oh!

Go!

I couldn't find what you needed - ooh to be a double
A big pill but you know that you need a poison
Open, you need it but I returned the point of acceptance
How brave, your parades never do much

Violence!
Hopeless fight!
Call it straight!

Big black steel cap dealt rejection

Yeah, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Yay
Ugggh!


15.Ana's Song(Open Fire)

Please die Ana
For as long as you're here we're not
You make the sound of laughter
and sharpened nails seem softer
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

Imagine pageant
In my head the flesh seems thicker
Sandpaper tears corrode the film

And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

And you're my obsession
I love you to the bones
And Ana wrecks your life
Like an Anorexia life

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you
Open fire on the needs designed
Open fire on my knees desires
On my knees for you


16.Madman

I can't release you,
You're a mad man,
Need help to,
Madman, Madman

You're tied to alcohol,
It starts to take its toll,
Madman, Madman
Oh, Madman, Mad

Mind filled with confusion,
Your life's an illusion,
Madman, Madman,
Oh...
Ugh,
Madman, Madman
..Madman.


17.Blind

I need to get out
There's something wrong 'round here
I have no doubt
We're all really down from fear
Everything's dark
And i cannot find
What i've been looking for
So i have to say i'm blind
But he cannot see
But he cannot see
Yeah...

If you do
Shed a tear
Don't go near my place
Because i, i won't be here
There's no love lost between you and me
And that's the way that i like it
I wanna live life like a normal man
And i think i can, yeah
But he cannot see

He's blind, oh yeah
Ooh, fuck, yeah, all right

I'm blind

18.Punk Song#2

I live for yesterday
No one cares or understands
Don't feel pain im made of steel
I can't answer you if you ask me how I am cuz I
I dont know just how i feel

I can feel
Any pain you give me
But I'll take it and throw it away

I'm a hypocrite
But that's ok cuz i do what i can
But I am careful who I burn
I am free falling with no parachute at all but
I don't have any concerns

I can feel
Any pain you give me
But I'll take it and throw it away
I won't heal (???)
To any ? you give me (???)
But I'd tell you what i say (???)

Why are you any better than anyone else
Why are you so good
Why are you any better than anyone else
Why are you so good


19.Wasted Fix Me

Wasted

Hey!
I was so wasted
I was so wasted
I was a hippie
I was a burnout
I was a dropout I was out of my head
I was a surfer
I had a skateboard
I was so heavy man, I lived on the strand
I was so wasted
I was so fucked up
I was so messed up
I was so screwed up I was out of my head
I was so jacked up
I was so drunk up
I was so knocked out, I was out of my head
I was so wasted
I was wasted

Fix Me

Someday
I'll feel no pain
Someday
I won't have a brain
They'll take away the part that hurts
and let the rest remain

Fix me
Fix my head
Fix me please, I don't wanna be dead

Someday
We'll all be rich
Someday
I won't listen to you bitch
I'll turn up the volume
And you can hear all the shit we play just for you

Fix me
Fix my head
Fix me please, I don't wanna be dead
Fix it


20.Minor Threat

We're not the first, I hope we're not the last
'Cause I know we're all heading for that adult crash
The time is so little, the time belongs to us
Why is everybody in such a fucking rush?!

Make do with what you have
Take what you can get
Pay no mind to us
We're just a minor threat

We're just a minor threat

Early finish, I was late to start
I might be an adult, but I'm a minor at heart
Go to college, be a man, what's the fucking deal!?
It's not how old I am, it's how old I feel

Take your time
Try not to forget
We never will
We're just a minor threat

We're just a minor threat

And that's a promise
