The Expendables

The Expendables The Expendables Lyrics
1.One More Night

One more night, one more day
The past is getting farther away
I try to relate and understand
You know were fallin' all over land

Oh I have seen for many years
The truth it must go on
So we fight to stay alive
The forces are to strong

Some call it self medication, others call it disease
Oh I call it self realization workin' out its case
One day I'll understand
When my road comes to an end

One more night, one more day
The past is getting farther away
I try to relate and understand
You know were fallin' all over land

Oh on my feet no broken bones
I'm sound my soul excite
I break the leash of my memories
That's all I need to realize, realize

I need to stand up and face them
My bridge is bare in the wind
My roots are week, the soil is dry
My bark is wearin' thin
One day I'll understand
When my trunk gives to the wind

One more night, one more day
The past is getting farther away
I try to relate and understand
You know were fallin' all over land

In my dreams, my fantasy
The wind becomes my eyes
But I can't live in a fantasy
The conscious lies
Conscious lies, conscious lies

One more night, one more day
The past is getting farther away
I try to relate and understand
You know were fallin' all over land


2.Keep Up

I walk alone down this city street
Tears in my eyes that you know aren't me
No more baby, no more pain
I'm tired of fighting every single day

I'm trying to keep up
But this love has got me down
I'm trying to keep up
But my shoes are losing ground
I'm trying to keep up

I tried to bandage my sorrows in a song
What use is a chorus if you ain't here to sing along
My life is so empty without your face
Too much to hide, I miss the wonder of your grace

I'm trying to keep up
But this love has got me down
I'm trying to keep up
But my shoes are losing ground
I'm trying to keep up

I'm trying to keep up
But this love has got me down
I'm trying to keep up
But my shoes are losing ground
I'm trying to keep up

It hurts to hear that some one else in your life
Do you think about me when you're turning out his lights
I lay here in darkness trying not to cry
Cause I know you're smiling with someone else tonight

I'm trying to keep up
Trying to stay tough now

I'm trying to keep up
Trying to stay tough now

I'm trying to keep up
Trying to stay tough now


3.STD

She's just as loose as me
I don't want the rejection so I'm keeping it cool
I catch her look my way
For a moment she looks down
She was biting her lip
And I don't mind just where she's been now
Cuz I've been there many times before
I ain't looking for someone to love
Just a score
I ain't worried about it this time
I ain't ever goin die
I ain't worried about it this time
I'm gonna get, I'm gonna get it tonight
These moments by ourselves
I don't want them wasted
But I already am
She begs me on her knees
I ain't got the protection
Now it's already in
And I don't mind just where she's been now
Cuz I've been there many times before
I ain't looking for someone to love
Just a score
I ain't worried about it this time
I ain't ever goin die
I ain't worried about it this time
I'm gonna get, I'm gonna get it tonight


4.Down Down Down

Sunshine in this lovely afternoon oh I can feel much better
So i lay back with my eyes under my hat my skin is dark as ever
And nothing but sandal shorts and that my bike is my connection
To every port that will supply my empty ship
And harbor my intention

Tonight is on again
I talked to all my friends
Into the village we get down down down
We peddle down the street
Reflectors on the seat
Into the village we get down down down
(Down down down)
(Down down down) Yeah
(Down down down)
(Down down down)

Night time in this neighborhood of mine you'll hear the
backyards murmur
Oh when the glow light of the bonfire sight warms souls and
outstretched fingers
So down the road I go, Spinning my spokes
To all authority my high is unknown, Yeahhh

Tonight is on again
I talked to all my friends
Into the village we get down down down
We peddle down the street
Reflectors on the seat
Into the village we get down down down
(down down down)
(down down down) Yeah
(down down down)
(down down down)

I have fell into this place I call my own
I think I'll stay here for a while, for a while, for a while
Oh Yeah Yeah Yeah

Tonight is on again
I talked to all my friends
Into the village we get down down down
We peddle down the street
Reflectors on the seat
Into the village we get down down down
(Down down down)
(Down down down) Yeah
(Down down down)
(Down down down) Yeah
(Down down down)
(Down down down) Yeah
(Down down down)
(Down down down)


5.Take a Ticket

You can have her now, I'm done with that.
Shes the dirty daughter of the devil
Teach her something new, then send her right back.
Since we seem to share everything in this bubble.

I hope she does that thing she likes, she'll want to impress
you.
Do anything for a little attention.
My time is up, your time is due.

So don't be shy of your intentions
Oh I won't mind No I won't trip
No dealing with my jealousness
Dig right in and grab those hips,
Pull right in and let it rip
Take a ticket for your number
Take a ticket for what, your number

If I find the one who means the world to me.
The truth won't come so easily
Round and round she goes, she keeps it a secret but we all know.


6.Paper Chains

What we see it makes no sense
Why do we constantly believe?
We have crumbled within our borders
And i'm afraid help is out of reach

They've taken our voices and they've locked them out
With paper chains i'd like to burn
I cannot even enjoy a sunset
When our world is on the verge

All this weight has got my head hung low
A certain pride that gives the air
I don't wanna be another disciple
As they sit in their liars chair

Information has been bottled up
In the news i never heard
I cannot even sleep under the shining stars
When our world is on the verge

So i sit and watch this world go by
Just like a lonesome bird
I cannot even concentrate on my own thoughts
When our world is on the verge
When our world is on the verge


7.Sacrifice (Reprise)

Where I would have been with a different plan
Like the tide upon the sand
It washed away from me
Opportunities to where I stand
Sometimes I feel so empty handed
Were not the only ones
Who will understand me

It's such a sacrifice inside
Somebody clear these stormy skies
It's such a sacrifice inside
Somebody clear these stormy skies

We'll never ever loose sight of our goals
Won't let go
And even tough were a little bit older
The truth is colder
Got to work.got to make that money
I hope its something
Cause were not the only ones
Who can make this happen

It's such a sacrifice inside
Somebody clear these stormy skies
It's such a sacrifice inside
Somebody clear these stormy skies

The current is so strong
And I can't fight no more
And how I long to be on
that stable shore
If we could only step outside the shade
And in the games we play
The threat of uncertainty
Has carried me out to sea

It's such a sacrifice inside
Somebody clear these stormy skies
It's such a sacrifice inside
Somebody clear these stormy skies


8.Swampy

Six years hasn't been too long
And I'm holdin' our stance strong
To the values of our fate

We partied every party to the ground
Turned every backyard upside down
And by and by we have survived

So don't start rollin' when the flood is comin'
We're all gonna drown in here tonight

This is something real from all of us
And this is how we roll, can you feel it?
So girl get up and dance, you know what to do
Don't be shy, this is why you came out here tonight
So let loose...

Tomorrow morning's gonna hurt
I hope I don't wake up in the dirt
One more sip and I'll fall asleep

Oh I've been hearin' things I didn't do
But there are versions I'll tell you
And by and by we have survived

So don't start rollin' when the flood is comin'
We're all gonna drown in here tonight

This is something real from all of us
And this is how we roll, can you feel it?
So girl get up and dance, you know what to do
Don't be shy, this is why you came out here tonight
So let loose...

Instrumental


10.Let Loose

Six years hasn't been too long
And I'm holding our stance strong
To the values of our fate
We partied every party to the ground
Turned every backyard upside down
And by and by we have survived

So don't start runnin'
The flood is comin'
We're all gonna drown in here tonight

This is something real for all of us
And this is how we roll can you feel it
So girl get up and dance you know what to do
Don't be shy this is why you came out here tonight to let loose

Tomorrow morning's gonna hurt
I hope I don't wake up in the dirt
One more sip and I'm fallin' asleep
Oh I've been hearing things I didn't do
But there're versions I'll tell you
And by and by we have survived

So don't start runnin'
The flood is comin'
We're all gonna drown in here tonight

This is something real for all of us
And this is how we roll can you feel it
So girl get up and dance you know what to do
Don't be shy this is why you came out here tonight to let loose


11.Not Gonna Fade

I've been told to close my eyes
I've been told to look away
I've been left outside, told to rage
What my generation knows
Is that generate control
We don't need the map
Were takin' over

One step at a time to fast to stay alive
A heart attack is on the rise

Not Gonna Fade, Not Gonna Break
Were takin' over

We exhist to persist
Don't want any part of it
When you come crashing down
Your voice won't be around
Stand my shot to hit and miss
Could it ever be like this
Now you're fallin to my grace
This world is our place

One step at a time to fast to stay alive
A heart attack is on the rise

Not Gonna Fade, Not Gonna Break
Were takin' over

Not Gonna Fade, Not Gonna Break
Were takin' over


12.Minimum Wage

I don't wanna go to work
I just wanna lie here in bed all day
Working for minimum wage ain't to good of pay
Nowhere I'd rather be
Oooh In the sea, that's where I belong
Maybe with my band
Jammin on this reggae song
But it's time to go to work now
Maybe I'l come instead
Maybe Heaven will fall to earth
Better make it quick

I go on through my days
Oooh Like a Man in a drunken haze
Life will find a way no matter what they say

I tossed and truned all night
Oooh and sat in my bed
I try to make it rite
but I forget about it instead

The boss says come in here
But I pretend that I'm asleep
My life is falling falling
I'm in trouble deep

Maybe I'll talk to god
But will he talk to me
And I'm trying to be stong now
But I'm so damn weak


13.Nasty


14.Wide Awake

I buried my face into my palms again
Tryin' to wake up
on my world that is tired of spinnin' here
Why do I fail my feet are stuck to cement
Sink into the bottom of my soul
I try to stand up to catch my self reflection
The shattered pieces collapse to the floor
Why can't I crawl to my dark corner, hard and cold
Sometimes my grip wants to let go

So wide a wide awake I lay
Do I have what it's gonna take
to keep on keeping on
So wide a wide awake I lay
Can I take this weight from holdin' me down

Another morning sucked that night
Another night passes away
(Recently it all just feels the same)
I try to laugh it off, but it grows where I'm soft
Gripping into me while I sleep
Holdin' on feels like the wrong direction
Why do my dreams come out fake
A lot, a lot short of satisfaction
It least I'm locked in a familiar place

So wide a wide awake I lay
Do I have what it's gonna take
to keep on keeping on
So wide a wide awake I lay
Can I take this weight from holdin' me down

I work myself over
I work myself over, again

So wide a wide awake I lay
Do I have what it's gonna take
to keep on keeping on
So wide a wide awake I lay
Can I take this weight from holdin' me down

16.Burning Up (Reborn)

I want to run away
From this awful place in my mind
Don't want to do no more time
I do what I love to pick me up
But lately now I do not think it's gonna be enough
So I sit and I pray and I hope that someday
These problems will move far away
I'm burning upIn the fire of my soul
I'm burning upThere is no way I can stay in control
I'm burning upin the fire of my soul
I'm burning upthere is no way
My life is like a sunny day
Always bright out never ever in the shade
Now that has all changed
There is nothing you can do to make me drown
Stop me right now
I'm not going to be the one to be held down,
Even though that I'm low
I want you to know
It's time for me to ditch this heavy load
I'm burning upIn the fire of my soul
I'm burning upThere is no way I can stay in control
I'm burning upin the fire of my soul
I'm burning upthere is no way
Don't want these feelings in my head
Don't want to cry my self to bed no more.
Don't want these feelings in my head
Don't want to cry my self to bed no more.
I'm burning upIn the fire of my soul
I'm burning upThere is no way I can stay in control
I'm burning upin the fire of my soul
I'm burning upthere is no way
