What Doesn't Kill Us

What Made Milwaukee Famous What Doesn't Kill Us Lyrics
1.Blood, Sweat & Fears

Let me stay I can make it worth your while
You know you never know
What these situations could become if we could only do just what
we?re told

I wanna spin around
The scenery is always much more arresting when it?s dull
I don?t know how it got into this mess

I must have been pulled on my hands and knees
By my hair and teeth
Surely I?da known if I?da come here on my own

They treat me well
Well they treat me and they don?t make me sleep out in the cold
All in all an experience you?d much rather witness than behold
I wanna spit it out but they?ll retrieve it and they?ll just
shove it in another hole
I don?t know how to get out of this mess
I can't be consoled

On my hands and knees
By my hair and teeth
Surely I condone that I could leave here on my own


Sick of counting the hours
I wanna be out in the flowers til then
This isn't easy
Disease agrees with no one but itself
You never know cause you ordinary people got it made
So we take you over
Resistance is as futile as you feel

We only need your help


2.Sultan

I've had less than my fair share of lucky breaks
And enough of this fooling around
I've got one last chance to get rid of my past
And bury it deep in the ground
And no matter what you try man
You're never gonna tear me down

When the only blame you cast is your own
And your only guarantee is your fear of the unknown
If you don't cut your losses before you get lost
They're never going to leave you alone

My best bits of advice I'll repeat only twice
After that you can fend for yourself
If you think that your shoes couldn't find better use
About just about anyone else

You need to face up and fold
Or deal with the hand you're dealt

Make up your mind
Are you in are you out
I've no patience for your impetuous doubt

When the only blame you cast is your own
And your only guarantee is your fear of the unknown
If you don't cut your losses before you get lost
They're never going to leave you alone
No


I've had less than my fair share of lucky breaks
And enough of this fooling around
I've got one last chance to get rid of my past
And bury it deep in the ground

Make up your mind
Are you in are you out
You'd be better served as a face in the crowd

You never want the truth to be told
And all your major concerns are out of your control
If you don't pick your feet up to come back around

When the only blame you cast is your own
And your only guarantee is your fear of the unknown
If you don't cut your losses before you get lost
They're never going to leave you alone
Leave you alone


3.Cheap Wine

I come into your town
and all it ever does is bring me down
all we ever do is hang around
people looking for some common ground

cheap wine
that's mine
and all you ever say
it's gonna come someday
but I can't wait
and all I ever do
is stick and cling to you
and the only thing that gets me through

cheap wine
makes me smile
and I hold on tight
for a little while

as you scream the end is coming
que sera, sera
left us in a lasting something
all it seems that I can draw in
oh if this is the end, I should spend it with a friend

cheap wine
that's mine
and I hold on tight
for a little while

love love love
could never be enough
you're afraid of what you'll become
a shape of what you're made of

cheap wine
makes me smile
and I hold on tight
for a little while

cheap wine
makes me smile
and I hold on tight
for a while


4.The Right Place

Plead with me and beg me not to stay,
So you can still get stoned every day.
Ask of me the one thing I'll negate,
So I'll look like a jerk and you'll be safe.

Oh, I once said 'good night' and meant every single syllable,
but I didn't mean to have one every day (by the way).

Even though your heart's in the right place,
You'll find a way to lose and let it break.
There is only so much I can take,
Until I start to feel like I'm betrayed.

Oh, I once said 'good luck' and really hoped that it'd work out,
And felt certain that this time you'd get it right.
But I've since been dismayed by your careless mistakes,
And I'm sick and tired of hoping that you might.
Yeah.

Plead with me and beg me not to stay.
You knew it'd never work out anyway.
You've got an eye for sore sight and a knack for college tries,
But you're soon to lack the thing that gets you by.
Yeah!


5.For The Birds

we get two birds in the hand
regardless of supply and demand
no different to anyone else's plans
forget about it
we're gonna kill 'em if we can

what does that say about us
do we sound like someone you could trust
cause I'm not prepared to get a long way
away with murder when we know it's wrong
we know that we already sang that song

you say you wanted space
and I'm already so long gone

where do you get off now
what the hell are you talking about
because you know you don't think I'm rolling over
just because you like to keep your standards low

it's so easy to get release
you're opening and closing doors
a definite reprise
you fight like a fairy tale
victim of another spell
so desperate to be disengaged from me

so you try to trip me up
so they can see that I'm not as brave as they believe
you'll see

hey man
we're in the same rooms
blacking the same blues when we can
for all we know this isn't even blood on our hands


6.Self-Destruct

I'd eat your heart out but my teeth are sore
besides I'm tired of you crawling right back for more
cause I usually suffer later from a lack of things to say

don't wanna see the whites of your eyes
don't wanna have to euthanize
you've showed endless indications you'll just dodge the
inevitable

I wouldn't self-destruct for anybody else
come on, you know you know me better than yourself

I'd just as soon retreat and fail
than be the one behind your sails
you'd never be deficient for the comfort of heeding it
you're aching to get caught up in
the way these problems always begin
there's no use for me to tell you
you refuse to listen
you lack consideration for all the things you're missing but

I wouldn't self-destruct for anybody else
take notes, pay close attention
surely you can tell
it's never worth the pain inflicted on yourself
but adjunct in misery we love the clientele

you can try to validate your grievances
by severing your ties
but instead of walking out and moving on
you'd rather keep living a lie
say goodbye

I wouldn't self-destruct for anybody else
if you can't acknowledge that


7.Resistance St.

don't wanna live
don't wanna live a life disguised in a lie behind the smile
save yourself
I don't pacify

don't wanna talk
don't wanna walk around in circles until we're eye to eye
you find yourself

this wreck is caving in
alert the next of kin
it's worthless yet again like we were told

I gave you all the outs
just in case you had any doubt
so how does it come about that we could get surrounded

tomorrow the forecast's black
though it'd keep me on the tracks til I be ruined
I tried in all the nights
unforgiven and forgot
for nothing, thanks a lot

hey weren't you told how brutal life can be
how it takes all that you can bear to stave defeat
you'll be cursed if you're convinced


8.Prevailing Wind


9.And The Grief Goes On...

Maybe in time we can see how the world began
Breaking the arms of the patron Americans
Lo and behold we're as saintly as we pretend
Means is of no consequence, let's get to the end
We're so silly and change our minds
But nothing's really at stake but time

Hey there's a gun in your face and it's serious
If you don't know you can ask any idiot
What do you know it seems we might end up content
Not that we want
We know we're not that innocent

We're so silly and change our minds
We're two steps back
We'll leave us behind
Learning from our own mistakes
Takes longer than we care to

It's a tough one to gauge
You know we're not gonna change
We'll never turn this around
So treat it like it's a phase
Some uncomfortable stage
That we'll never face down
And sweat out
Whatever the committment that's required

You suffer for the sake
Hey we all make mistakes
Even though not even sober
Even if we start all over
Carelessly
In some strange way we're safe


10.To Each His Own

I love a man that isn't too proud to admit when he's wrong,
a benefactor of good doctrines, to each his own.
And I won't deny that I can be guilty in the first degree
of putting another one's needs behind those of me.

It's a simple sword to wield,
but it can get a little gray and thorny in terms of yield.
It's just a part of the deal
of that turning wheel.

Imagine all the people, if everyone could get their way,
You'd think, 'man, if we could be in the position we are today,'
You may say that I'm a dreamer, a dreamer I may be,
I just don't want anybody telling me how that it's got to be.

It's a natural need to feel,
but it can get a little painful when you think that it's
starting to heal.
It's just a part of the deal, that grinding wheel.

Oh, let me be
Why can't you see that if everyone gets an opinion, then we'll
never agree.
Oh, somebody call a doctor,
Hell, somebody call a priest,
Oh, one more of these and I'm back to the bourgeoisie.

And whether that may be the case,
I will never ever acquiesce disgrace.
One day we'll all have to face,
The curse of the human race,

Oh, I know that I can be deceiving and I know that I can make
you wait,
But I never took you anywhere you didn't want to be and I never
make you wait too late.
It's a serious situation to be channeling you through me,
So, I speak my mind more than most of the time.
Two cents ain't such a bad fee.

Let me be
Why can't you see?
If everybody gets an opinion, then we'll never agree.
Oh, somebody call a doctor
Hell, somebody call a priest
Oh, one more of these and I'm back to the bourgeoisie
I guarantee
I'm back to the bourgeoisie
I'll never be free
Back in the bourgeoisie
Back in the bourgeoisie


11.Middle Of The Night


12.The Other Side

We should overcome,
There's enough at stake,
For us to tear the walls down and escape.
Leave it all behind,
Erase and start anew,
It's not a question - if it's just what we should do.

There's hope for anyone on the other side.
But what's the use in hope if we're afraid of trying?

We should understand,
And try to sympathize,
With the kind of people we despise.
There's nothing left to lose,
Except for compromise,
Looking at the world through someone else's eyes.

We've got a lot to learn from the other side,
But we're too proud to see what we're busy denying.

There's salvation waiting on the other side,
We don't want to live, but we're afraid of dying.

Life is what you choose,
Love is what you make,
Success is based on chances that you take.
So, we're the ones to blame,
If absolution is denied,
Because we were so concerned about the other side.
