When I step out to the microphone,
It comes out sounding something like this
You brace and hold it all inside
It's more than you can stand
No one around even tries
Tries to understand
Don't turn away
Don't turn away
Come out swinging
Come out alone
They're in your way
But as long as you're swinging
Strong then you'll get by
Your pacing's wearing out a line
Right beside your bed
The scene replays a million times
Stuck inside your head
And though you stand in place
Your mind escapes
Read between the lies
Smile's on your face
You fake like you're ok
Don't turn away
Don't turn away
Come out swinging
Out on your own
They're in your way
You may be stinging
But you'll get by
Don't turn away
Don't turn away
Come out swinging
Never alone again
The pain inside can guide your way
Midnight, no sleep
Inside, you scream to
No one, hears you fall
Daylight, prove me today
One more try
Don't turn away, don't turn away
Come out swinging
Come out alone
They're in your way
You may be stinging
But you'll get by
Don't turn away
Don't turn away
Come out swinging
Never alone again
Pain inside
Leads you through so you'll get by
You can do it!
Until the break of dawn
Life, Life, cannot go by the letter
Time, Time, Prozac can make it better
Noise, Noise, any kind will do
Can you feel it slip away, when it's all on you
Crime, crime, rockin' like Janet Reno
Time Time, 18 and life in Chino
Freud, Freud all along it's true
Well you'll see there comes a day catches up to you
Knock down the walls -
It's alive in you
Knock down the place -
You're alone it's true
Knock down the world -
It's alive in you
You gotta keep your head up through it all
You're gonna
Bust out on it - Original Prankster
Break out yeah -
Original yeah
Bust out on it -
Original Prankster
You never stop now, stop now
That's what the main men say
You can do it!
You know it smells like shit, goddamn
Tag team the double header
Son of Sam fire always makes it better
Navigate with style and aplomb
Cause wherever you're at that's the tip you's on
Lies lies says he's down in the Bahamas
Tries tries bangin' little hoochie mamas
No way, none of this is true
Well he'll see there comes a day when the joke's on you yeah
Knock down the walls -
It's alive in you
Knock down the place -
You're alone it's true
Knock down the world -
It's alive in you
You gotta keep your head up through it all
You're gonna
Bust out on it - Original Prankster
Break out yeah -
Original yeah
Bust out on it -
Original Prankster
You never stop now, stop now
That's what the main men say
Hey!

Dime, Dime, so good to see ya
Nine, nine don't want to be ya
Dime, Dime, so good to see ya
Nine, nine don't want to be ya
Crime, crime fine sensimilla

Well he'll see there comes a day when the joke's on you yeah
Knock down the walls -

Knock down the place -

Knock down the world -
It's alive in you
You gotta keep your head up through it all
You're gonna
Bust out on it - Original Prankster
Break out yeah -
Original yeah
Bust out on it -
Original Prankster
You never stop now, stop now
That's what the main men say
If you could only read my mind
You would know that things between us ain't right
I know your arms are open wide
But you're a little on the straight side I can't lie
Your one vice
Is you're too nice
Come around now
Can't you see
I want you
All tatooed
I want you bad
Complete me
Mistreat me
I want you to be bad, bad, bad
If you could only read my mind
You would know that I've been waiting, so long
For someone almost just like you
But with attitude, I'm waiting
So come on
Get out of clothestime
Grow out those highlights
Come around now can't you see?
I want you
In a vinyl suit
I want you bad
Complicated
X-Rated
I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
Dont get me wrong
I know you're only being good
But that's what's wrong
I guess I just misunderstood
I want you
All tattooed
I want you bad
Complicated
X-Rated
I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
I mean it
I need it
I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
There was a time
Looking through myself
Wanting to pretend
If I escaped
I could fill myself
I don't think you can
Been far and wide
But that hole inside
Never really leaves
When I went away
What I really left
Left behind was me
It's teling me
To be on my way home
Ohhhhhhhh
Ohh oh oh, ohh oh oh
Million miles away
Ohh oh oh, ohh oh oh
I can't stay
Each passing day
Every passing face
Seems like such a blur
I long to be
Home silently
Lying next to her
Just to get back
By her side is all
All I need to be
Cause I went away
But what I really left
Left behind was me
I need to be
Getting on my way home
Ohhhhhhhh
Ohh oh oh, ohh oh oh
Million miles away
Ohh oh oh, ohh oh oh
Million Miles Away
I can't take
I can't take
I need to be
Getting on my way home
I can't take
I can't take
Million miles away
I can't take
I can't take
Million miles away
Hey come inside
While I stand here acting bold
(Can't stand to feel this way)
Clear out the cobwebs in my soul
This time I turn around
and things have changed
Now I don't feel the same, yeah
Start a fight, I can't defend
One more time
Dammit, I changed again
Now I don't see things
The way I did before
(Can't stand to feel this way)
Things important yesterday
Just don't matter anymore
It doesn't make any sense
To feel so different everyday
(Can't stand to feel this way)
When nothing's changed except for me
Next time I turn around
and things have changed
Now I don't feel the same, yeah
Start a fight, I can't defend
One more time
Dammit, I changed again
I turn around
and things have changed
Now I don't feel the same, yeah
Start a fight, I can't defend
One more time
Dammit, I changed again
Turn around
Things have changed
Now I don't feel the same, yeah
Start a fight, I can't defend
One more time
Dammit, I changed again
Turn around
Things have changed
Now I don't feel the same, yeah
Start a fight, I can't defend
One more time
Dammit, I changed again
I see it
Got a sing song, man it goes like this
Somewhere the time was right,
Could have been gone in ten
This world is hard to fight, hitting
You once, hit it again
To know the way it feels, everyone
Gets knocked down
When you get up it's real, by taking
It back, turn it around
Get on it, up on it, get on it -
Wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, out on it, get on it -
No one's gonna free you
You know, when you're keeping it slow
No matter where you wanna go -
Wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, up on it
It's on - we're living in chaos
Somewhere along the line
Things get chipped away
This place keeps going down
Gets a little worse every day
I see hate and greed
This world's a messed up town
Embrace the pain and see
By taking it back, you turn it around
Get on it, up on it, get on it
Wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, out on it, get on it
No one's gonna free you
You know when you're keeping it slow
No matter where you wanna go
Wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, up on it
It's over.
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
Ya ya ya
Ya ya ya
Ya ya ya
Ya ya ya
Got a sing song and it goes like this
Somewhere the time was right
Could've been gone in ten
This world is hard to fight
Hitting you once, hit it again
To know the way it feels
Everyone gets knocked down
When you get up it's real
Taking it back, turn it around
Falling
Falling
Falling
Falling
(Ya ya ya)
Get on it, up on it, get on it
(Ya ya ya)
Get on it, up on it, get on it
Never gonna be you
Get on it, up on it, get on it
(Ya ya ya)
Hey now do you see me down the way?
Been watching you everyday
In my car on your street is where I stay
I know you better that way
One day I'll be meeting you for real
You'll feel bad like I feel
It'll blow you away - you're gonna fall for me
And the voices told me
To blow you away - you're gonna fall for me
Hey now well I'm knocking on your door
This special delivery is yours
My infatuation it's true
Hello, I got something for you
It'll blow you away - you're gonna fall for me
And the voices told me
To blow you away - you're gonna fall for me
If you hadn't sold me
I'd still be away - you're right in front of me
Then, I'll be on my way
Breathing you okay
Can't break from my sins
Cannot pray
But you can't kill a man when he's got no hope
You can't kill a man when he's got no hope
God, help me
It'll blow you away - you're gonna fall for me
And the voices told me
To blow you away - you're gonna fall for me
If you hadn't sold me
I'd still be away - you're right in front of me
Then, I'll be on my way
If I had a perfect day
I would have it start this way
Open up the fridge and have a tall boy yeah
Then I'd meet up with my friends
Head out to the game again
We don't even really care who wins
Now excitement seems to grow
When we're hangin' with the bro's
When we're chillin' and we pound
A case of stroh's
Now the game is cool to see
You can high 5 on TV
Count the riot on the one, two, three
Operation is in sight
And the field is open wide
When you break it then you know you're still alive
If the cops don't make you pay and make your getaway
Then you know that's One Fine Day
On that day before we're through
We could torch a car or two
Then have ourselves another tall boy yeah
Water hoses and batons
That's the real game that's on
I don't really give a shit who wins
I believe it's my God-given right
To destroy everything in my sight
Cause it never gets dull, it never gets old
The only it gets is more bold
Drinkin', Fightin', Goin' to the game
In our world it's a way to stay sane
If you're asking me to have it my way
I'd say that's One Fine Day
Then you know that it's One Fine Day
Hey Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Deep inside I seek whats burning
Should have known all the while what's true
I went along, to fool myself
Can't go on, I can't escape it
All along
I Think I really knew
It was there in the words unspoken
All along
Still believed in you
Now I stand here betrayed and broken
Close my eyes from the burning
All along, all the while it's true
Take it on, or turn your back
Either way, you can't escape it
All along
I Think I really knew
It was there in the words unspoken
All along
Still believed in you
Now I stand here betrayed and broken
ohhh ohhh oh oh oh
All along
I Think I really knew
It was there in the words unspoken
All along
Still believed in you
Now I stand here betrayed and broken
All along, I still believe in you
So here we go
Having the same old fight again
There she goes
Same old game that never ends
If I could say the right words
I know I could make you stay
If I could say all the right words
Things would work out all right
And if you go
I won't believe
That it's forever
And you can go
But I'll never leave
Cause it's not over
Replay last night
Talking it out don't make it right
I know she's tried
My whole world is her
And all we've got now
And if you go
I won't believe
That it's forever
I won't let go
Even if she says that it's over
I know it'll be
Different this time
If you'd just stay
And when we wrote this story
How did it end?
It was you and me for all our lives
Go on, don't say it
We'll try again
And if I'd just hold you
We could last
But she stands softly tears down her face
Hitting me, oh God this is the end
I'd wait here for you
But there's nothing more now I can do
How did you know?
Finally
Now I could lie, by your side
All serrated for you
Down below, cancer grows
Weeping waits inside you too
All our rage, begs a stage
It's a waste of time though
And your style, seems worthwhile
But this lonely road has turned
And you faded there
They pretend to care
Vultures wating
If you don't like me certify me
Yeah, I don't know yeah
Yeah, I won't go yeah
Yeah, save it I'm okay, okay?
And in the sun a loaded gun
Makes for conversation
All the while in denial
It's too late for me to change
And you were unchained
Nothing more had changed
I could fake it
If you still hate me
Confiscate me
Yeah, I don't know yeah
Yeah, I won't go yeah
Yeah, save it I'm okay, okay?
Yeah, I won't play yeah
Yeah, go away yeah
Yeah, save it I'm okay, okay?
And you were unchained
Nothing more had changed
I could fake it
If you still hate me
Confiscate me
Yeah, I don't know yeah
Yeah, I won't go yeah
Yeah, save it I'm okay, okay?
Yeah, I won't play yeah
Yeah, go away yeah
Yeah, save it I'm okay, okay?
Red over white
It's one last fatal scene
Brought on by
Someone unseen
Moving on their own
Bring on the night
And bring us all to our knees
All are gone and none agreed
The one who acts alone
Nobody wins
Nobody hears us fall
Nobody wins when it's done
Conspiracy of one
Bring on the night
And bring us all to our knees
All are gone and none agreed
The one who acts alone
Red over white
It's one last fatal scene
Brought on by
Someone unseen
Moving on their own
Nobody wins
Nobody hears us fall
Nobody wins when it's done
Conspiracy of one
Nobody wins
Nobody hears us fall
Nobody wins when it's done
Conspiracy of one
Nobody wins
Nobody hears us fall
Nobody wins when it's done
Conspiracy of one
