THE DUCKY BOYS LYRICS - Alone Tonight

THE DUCKY BOYS LYRICS



"Alone Tonight"






And when I call your name you wont be there

And when I wake in pain you wont be there

Out on the avenue

I fell in love with you

And all I'm falling into now is a bed of nails

I don't really want to be alone tonight

I want you by my side

But I'll be alone tonight

No matter what I dream it won't keep me san

No matter what I say it wont make you stay

I don't really want to be alone tonight

I want you by my side

But I'll be alone tonight

And i'll recount all my mistakes

And I recount the things I did to turn your heart away

I don't really want to be alone tonight

I want you by my side

But I'll be alone tonight

I don't really want to be alone tonight

Do you really want to be alone tonight?

THE SOPHOMORE ATTEMPT LYRICS - Sky Command To Battle Stations

THE SOPHOMORE ATTEMPT LYRICS



"Sky Command To Battle Stations"






If I bend I'm breaking

I'm tired of living through the yellow pages

The ghosts are calling and they want you back

Two hundred miles is farther than it seems

It's just enough to keep you safe from me



You might as well just hate me

(And you can stop pretending)

You're just what the boys like me are so afraid of

And I can't imagine what it's

Like stepping on all your friends

Like they're concrete (they're not concrete)

You're going to sink girl, (you're going to sink...)



The dust has settled now I see you clearly

My eyes are open and my lungs are clean

I left the tip jar out so you could be near me

I hate that face you wear; you think it's so sincere



You might as well just hate me

(And you can stop pretending)

You're just what the boys like me are so afraid of

And I can't imagine what it's

Like stepping on all your friends

Like they're concrete (they're not concrete)

You're going to sink girl, (you're going to sink...)



Why else would I believe any or everything

Unless I had the faith that you had felt the same



You might as well just hate me

(And you can stop pretending)

You're just what the boys like me are so afraid of

And I can't imagine what it's

Like stepping on all your friends

Like they're concrete (they're not concrete)

You're going to sink girl, (you're going to sink...)

ASTA KASK LYRICS - Vårt Dagliga Bröd

ASTA KASK LYRICS



"Vårt Dagliga Bröd"






Ett inbrott och ett och annat rån

Att ta lite tjack till och från

Att reda upp min ekonomi

Det blev faktiskt min melodi

Så nu sitter jag här inlåst i min cell

Och ljuset släcks klockan tio varje kväll

Rehabilitering för att bli fri

Men terapi är inte min melodi



SÅ NU BRYTER JAG EN LAG

FÖR ATT LEVA ÄNNU EN DAG

NU BRYTER JAG EN LAG



Snuten tar mig gång på gång

Och kronofogdens lista, ja den är lång

Jag sitter i skiten på alla sätt

Att ta sig ur är ej så lätt

Den onda cirkelns makt är stor

Och all denna tid som jag på kåken bor

Tänker jag bara på en sak

Dom skapar fram flera vrak



SÅ NU BRYTER JAG EN LAG

FÖR ATT LEVA ÄNNU EN DAG

NU BRYTER JAG EN LAG

AT THE DRIVE-IN LYRICS - Pattern Against User

AT THE DRIVE-IN LYRICS



"Pattern Against User"






the proposition

handcuffed to the park bence

hypodermic people poking

fun at the living

please lift the weight out of this

it takes the weight out of living

are we just infants

that are ripe for the training

the opposition

can't feel the tenticle reach

suction cup the numb arms

of the elderly

please lift the weight out of this

it takes the weight out of living

let these walkers trip on

endless proof



pattern against user - dilated

bastard waiting for nothing

circus carny guarding

the gates of heaven

like stuck in limbo abduction

wormed our way through

distant earth



this intuition

limps with the cane of suspicion

folding space in the crease

of this page

it takes the weight out of this

it takes the weight out of-

trickling the ticking of this

grandfather clock

the opposition

can't feel the tenticle reacg

suction cup the numb arms of

the elderly



[chorus]



and if this clock keeps ticking away

will time be hesitated

of all the minutes that were

taken away

will your watch be waiting

sand falls through

time portals

these landfills - immortal

and if this clock keeps

beating down

let the branded time

keep playing

of all the minutes that

were taken away

will your watch be waiting

FLOORPUNCH LYRICS - Always

FLOORPUNCH LYRICS



"Always"






All us kids, all our stories

We come together for the glory

The scene we have is like no other

Ever kid my friend, every kid my brother

Pick you up when you fall

Help you out when your back is to the wall

It flows in our heart and in our veins

This positive youth will always remain

BUTTHOLE SURFERS LYRICS - Fast

BUTTHOLE SURFERS LYRICS



"Fast"






I'm not insane when I'm talking to you, babe.

I want to set the place on fire

If you see me smoking then it's probably me, now.

I'm burning up with desire

I'm not in love when I'm talking to you, babe.

I'm just with people standing in line

If you see me smoking then it's probably me, now.

(the whole last line is a mystery to me)

IGGY POP LYRICS - Neighborhood Threat

IGGY POP LYRICS



"Neighborhood Threat"






Down where your paint is cracking

Look down your backstairs buddy

Somebodies living there and

He don't really feel the weather

And he don't share your pleasures

No, he don't share your pleasures

Did you see his eyes?

Did you see his crazy eyes?

And you're so surprised he doesn't run to catch your ash

Everybody always wants to kiss your trash

And you can't help him, no one can

And now that he knows

There's nothing to get

Will you still place your bet

Against the Neighbourhood Threat?



Somewhere a baby's feeding

Somewhere a mother's needing

Outside her boy is trying

But mostly he is crying

Did you see his eyes?

Did you see his crazy eyes?

And you're so surprised he doesn't run to catch your ash

Everybody always wants to kiss your trash

But you can't help him, no one can

And now that he knows

There's nothing to get

Not in this place

Not in your face

Will you still place your bet

Against the Neighbourhood Threat? [Repeat]

WE THE KINGS LYRICS - We'll Be A Dream

WE THE KINGS LYRICS



"We'll Be A Dream"



Featuring Demi Lovato






Do you remember the nights we

Stayed up, just laughing

Smiling for hours at anything?

Remember the nights we

Drove around crazy in love?



When the lights go out

We'll be safe and sound

We'll take control of the world

Like it's all we have to hold on to

And we'll be a dream



Do you remember the nights we

Made our way dreaming

Hoping of being someone big?

We were so young then

We were too crazy in love



When the lights go out

We'll be safe and sound

We'll take control of the world

Like it's all we have to hold on to

And we'll be a dream



When the lights go out

(And when the lights go out)

We'll be safe and sound

(We'll be safe and sound)

We'll take control of the world

Like it's all we have to hold on to

And we'll be

(And we'll be)



When the lights go out

(And when the lights go out)

We'll be safe and sound

We'll take control of the world

Like it's all we have to hold on to

And we'll be a dream

RICHARD HELL AND THE VOIDOIDS LYRICS - Time

RICHARD HELL AND THE VOIDOIDS LYRICS



"Time"






Time and time again I knew what I was doing and

Time and time again I just made things worse

It seems you see the most of what is really true when

You're stepping into your hearse



Only time can write a song that's really really real

The most a man can do is say the way its playing feels

And know he only knows as much as time to him reveals



And when I want to write a song that says it all at once

Like time sublimely silences the whys

I know that if I try I'm going to take a fall at once

And splatter there between my lies



Only time can write a song that's really really real

The most a man can do is say the way its playing feels

And know he only knows as much as time to him reveals



We are made of it and if we give submission

Among our chances there's a chance we can choose

And if we take it, by uncertainty's permission

Then it's impossible to lose



Only time can write a song that's really really real

The most a man can do is say the way its playing feels

And know he only knows as much as time to him reveals

DISCO ENSEMBLE LYRICS - Samantha

DISCO ENSEMBLE LYRICS



"Samantha"






Samantha, look at your wristwatch

There's something weird in the way the pointers turn

Samantha, where's your car parked?

There's something weird in the way you make me feel



It's the perfect time to get tough, my baby

Cause everyone wants to push you around

And there's no need to be shy, my baby

Cause everyone wants to push you around



There's a picture on your T-shirt

Of the Eiffel tower in twilight

And if we stare real long at the dial plate

We can reverse the way the pointers turn



It's the perfect time to get tough, my baby

Cause everyone wants to push you around

And there's no need to be shy, my baby

Cause everyone wants to push you around



Samantha, look at the streetlights

There's something wrong with the way the city breathes

Samantha, look at my face now

There's something weird in the way the city feels



Samantha, everyone's trying to push you around

Samantha, everyone's trying to push you around

Samantha, everyone's trying to push you around

Samantha, everyone's trying to push you around

EYES SET TO KILL LYRICS - March Of The Dead

EYES SET TO KILL LYRICS



"March Of The Dead"






The dead is in the march

They're soldiers in the dark

They mourn the living, regret our sinning



Their bombs are roaring in the dust, they sing a song to us

Their march is heavy, are we ready yet?

The bullets fall loose through their skin

They're swinging in the wind

Their march is deadly, are we ready?



Lock the doors, don't let them in

Board it up because our time is slipping and they're not listening

Lock the doors, don't let them in

Board it up so they can't win



There's no surrender till the dust has settled here

They mourn the living, regret our sinning

The dead is in the march

They're soldiers spreading fear

And the beginning of the end is nowhere near, the end is nowhere near



The time has come to turn around, to send them through the ground

Their march is heavy, but we're ready now

Their bones are cracking through their skin, but they keep on fighting

Their march is deadly, now we're ready



Fight our fire with their rain

Make them sorry for the time that's slipping

And they're not listening, they're our shadow in this race

Live the glory, kill the pain



There's no surrender till the dust has settled here

They mourn the living, regret our sinning

The dead is in the march

They're soldiers spreading fear

And the beginning of the end is nowhere near, the end is nowhere near

The end is nowhere near



Bring on the dead, we will see victory

Earth soaked in red, fight through the sunrise

Bring on the dead, we will see victory

Earth soaked in red, this night is our night



There's no surrender till the dust has settled here

They mourn the living, regret our sinning

The dead is in the march

They're soldiers spreading fear

And the beginning of the end is nowhere near



There's no surrender till the dust has settled here

They mourn the living, regret our sinning

The dead is in the march

They're soldiers spreading fear

And the beginning of the end is nowhere near

GALLOWS LYRICS - Abandon Ship

GALLOWS LYRICS



"Abandon Ship"






Mayday Mayday

The captain's lost control again

The fucking ship is breaking up

We're going down in flames



Mayday Mayday

Man overboard again

The sharks have started circling

They only eat the brave



The SS Death lost everything

No one here can fucking swim

So baby, baby hold me tight

While I drown myself in you tonight

While I drown myself in you



Mayday Mayday

The ship has hit the rocks again

This isn't going to fucking work

We're heading to our graves



Mayday Mayday

Man overboard again

We're sinking in the river Stix

No one can escape



The SS Death lost everything

No one here can fucking swim

So baby, baby hold me tight

While I drown myself in you tonight

While I drown myself in you

While I drown myself in you tonight

While I drown myself in you



Ladies and Gentlemen

May I have your attention please

This is the captain of your ship

I'm sorry we depart this way

You left me broken hearted

But I never loved you anyway

No I never loved you anyway

No I never loved you anyway

No I never loved you anyway

BORN AGAINST LYRICS - Poland

BORN AGAINST LYRICS



"Poland"






We came to take over your one room or maybe displace your parents from their

bed as the special guests of honor you've been at the factory for hours

already don't worry we'll lock the door when we leave for the border what

we know is from the world of soundchecks and gas money and maybe a few tales

from warmer climates where we were once paid well and I can't stand to think

of all the bastards that are coming to sleep on your floor.

THE GO SET LYRICS - Sheppards Town

THE GO SET LYRICS



"Sheppards Town"






In Sheppard's Town the cars go round, with stereos that shake the ground

Two hotels and the Saturday game, the hand on the clock is slow to change

When the factory stack bellows steam, is the only time a cloud is seen

For the rains they are a long lost friend that never returned home again

Waiting for the rain, waiting for the wind of change

Waiting for the rain, waiting for the Saturday game

In Sheppard's Town

And the High School kids still talk of rebellion, but someone here forgot to tell them,

To forget about those hopes and dreams, and live a life by simple means

One in five forges new frontiers, and return home after many years

But still the rains don't fall on the ground, for the thirsty changeless Sheppard's Town

Waiting for the rain, waiting for the wind of change

Waiting for the rain, waiting for the Saturday game

And a new highway with an extra lane

In Sheppard's Town

THE FALL OF TROY LYRICS - Nobody's Perfect

THE FALL OF TROY LYRICS



"Nobody's Perfect"






If you want me,

you can call me, everyday and everynight.

Say you miss me,

I'll stay by your side.



If you need me,

please believe that everything will be alright.

It's so misleading,

but love gets lost in time...



Keep movin',

If all the stupid lies come out,

scream and shout.

Keep losin',

If all your friends are enemies,

just say please...



If it's easy,

if It's easier for you,

pretend it's true,

tell yourself that,

tell yourself that I never,

I never loved you anyways.



If you want me,

you can call me, everyday and everynight.

Say you miss me,

I'll stay by your side.



If you need me,

please believe that everything will be alright.

It's so misleading,

but love gets lost in time...





Well isn't this just odd,

Isn't this just perfect?

After all this shit,

I'm left here contradicting myself again.

Everything you said to me,

is dead and gone and now you'll see,

some things just aren't meant to be.

Some things aren't reality...

Half the time you're full of doubt,

half the time you sleep around.

And most the time you drink too much,

and say things you don't mean... You slut!!!



But nobody's perfect!

Nobody's perfect, right!?

Right!? Right!?



Right!

DIVISION MINUSCULA LYRICS - Sismo

DIVISION MINUSCULA LYRICS



"Sismo"






Si ésto no es un sismo

entonces me rindo no se que es.

Acaso hay guerra allá afuera

y yo sigo aquí adentro viendo TV?

He malgastado mi tiempo, aliento y silencio... para que?

si nadie gasta su tiempo, atención y silencio en escucharme.



Nada que ver, no hay nada que escuchar

nada sorprende ya en éste lugar,

ojalá fuera tan bueno para aprender

como tu para olvidar...



Si te preguntas qué hago,

plasmo risas y llanto sobre un papel,

y aunque siempre estoy al mando

hoy mi cuerpo infectado me hace ceder.

Si bebí mas de la cuenta para eso es mi fiesta y a ti que?

buscas el cliché en el arte, olor a muerte en el aire

una y otra vez...



Nada que ver, no hay nada que escuchar

nada sorprende ya en éste lugar,

ojalá fuera tan bueno para aprender

como tu para olvidar...



No se si fue amor

pero vaya que lo hicimos de lo mejor,

y que el mundo se muera de envidia.

No se si es rock n'roll

Pero no encuentro una excusa mejor



Si ésto no es un sismo entonces me rindo no se que es...

SENDAL JEPIT LYRICS - I'm Falling Away

SENDAL JEPIT LYRICS



"I'm Falling Away"






So far away and dreaming

How could I lost this felling

I'm falling away, I'm falling away

I'm sending a beep from a far

While I try to hide the scar

I'm falling away, I'm falling away



Sit and watch the sun goes down

Waiting till the moon goes 'round

The ocean always look so blue

Distance between me and you

And every time I close my eyes

I'm falling away



Love could be share in letter

A moment like we're together

I'm wasting away, I'm wasting away



Sit and watch the sun goes down

Waiting till the moon goes 'round

The ocean always look so blue

Distance between me and you

And every time I close my eyes

I'm falling away

ANTI-HEROS LYRICS - What's A Skin

ANTI-HEROS LYRICS



"What's A Skin"






Skinheads there when things get rough, and when he's needed he's always tough

Won't ever run, won't ever hide he ain't scared that they'll lock him inside

Seems to stand above them all, he'll be there when the lowlifes fall

You know what I say is true, you know in your heart when I speak about you

Know in your heart when I speak about you



[Chorus]

{What's a skin, he's hard, What's a skin, he's tough, What's a skin, he's honorable}



Do you think we won't live long? Do you think that we're not strong?

Fire burns in all of our hearts, Be on top cause we got the smarts

Skinhead knows when he is right, And he knows he don't have to fight

But when he does he tends to win, That's how they remember him, That's how they remember him

ODD PROJECT LYRICS - The Fashion Police Hate Robots

ODD PROJECT LYRICS



"The Fashion Police Hate Robots"






Painting windows with crimson memories.

This room won't see the light of day.

It's been too long since things have gone wrong.

Does the machine malfunction if the robots sleep?

There's no answer in the dial tone.

You say you're lost, but you feel just like home in a crime like fashion,

just like a well-scripted masquerade.

This room won't see the light of day.

It's been too long since things have gone wrong.

CRAIG'S BROTHER LYRICS - Lost At Sea

CRAIG'S BROTHER LYRICS



"Lost At Sea"






Floating like driftwood

Enslaved by the sea

Resolutely refusing to die

Without amnesty



He's tossed by the waves

He's all out of flares

Nobody saves

Nobody cares

Dehydrated lips speak words of despair

In unanswered prayer

Amidst a sea of words

He only hears the sound of sea birds

Who only whisper of a world beyond the waves

And all those points of light

The gently winking stars of night

Not out of sight but still his eyes are glazed

And though his eyes perforate the horizon

He still can't find escape from his world

He lifts his head in unwanted motion

But he can't see himself tonight

Just broken starlight

And waves



Stupid and headstrong

She stands on the beach

She's calling his name out

But he doesn't hear her voice from where

His vessel so small

Boat's bullied by waves

To nowhere at all

Dehydrated lips speak words of despair

In unanswered prayer

Amidst a sea of words He only hears the sound of sea birds

Who only whisper of a world beyond the waves

And all those points of light

The gently winking stars of night

Not out of sight but still his eyed are glazed



Keep calling his name

Keep calling perhaps he'll hear you

Keep calling his name

Maybe now he's not the one



The one who's exiled form the world of you and me

The one who can't be reached the one who's lost at sea

The one whose social skills have gone to atrophy

The one who drifts apart the one who's lost at sea

The one who's lost at sea.



Floating like driftwood.

MOTIONLESS IN WHITE LYRICS - Bananamontana

MOTIONLESS IN WHITE LYRICS



"Bananamontana"






Paralyzed... by the envy of the night...

I am lost without you here.

And outside it looks like rain,

Say goodbye for the last time.

For the last time I'll bleed myself dry tonight.

We are all alone.

And nothing I could ever write would help you understand this life.

There's so much beauty when scarlet eyes lay lost in all the city lights.

The wax will drip as so as blood,

Romance is dead and all is lust.

Your are the water in my lungs, we've lost it...



And nothing I could ever write would help you understand this life.

There's so much beauty when scarlet eyes lay lost in all the city lights.

The wax will drip as so as blood,

Romance is dead and all is lust.

Your are the water in my lungs, we've lost it now!

IN FEAR AND FAITH LYRICS - Gangsta's Paradise

IN FEAR AND FAITH LYRICS



"Gangsta's Paradise"



Originally by Coolio






As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I take a look at my life

And realize there's nothing left.

'Cause I've been blasting and laughing so long

That even my momma thinks that my mind has gone.

But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it.

Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of.

You betta watch how ya talking

And where ya walking

Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk.

I really hate to trip but I gotta lob,

As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke.

Fool, I'm the kinda g that little homie's wanna be like,

On my knees in the night

Saying prayers in the street light.



We've been spending most our lives

Living in a gangsta's paradise.

We've been spending most our lives

Living in a gangsta's paradise.

We keep spending most our lives

Living in a gangsta's paradise.

We keep spending most our lives

Living in a gangsta's paradise.



Look at the situation, they got me facing,

I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the state.

So I gotta be down with the 'hood team,

Too much television watching, got me chasing dreams.

I'm an educated fool with money on my mind

Got my ten in my hand and a gleam in my eye.

I'm a locked out gangsta, set tripping banger

And my homies are down so don't arouse my anger.

Fool, death ain't nothing but a heart beat away,

I'm living life do or die, what can I say?

I'm twenty-three now, will I ever live to see twenty-four,

The way things is going I don't know.



Tell me why are we

So blind to see.

That the ones we hurt

Are you and me?

We've been spending most our lives

Living in a gangsta's paradise.

We've been spending most our lives

Living in a gangsta's paradise.

We keep spending most our lives

Living in a gangsta's paradise.

We keep spending most our lives

Living in a gangsta's paradise.



Power in the money, money in the power,

Minute after minute, hour after hour,

Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking

It's going on in the kitchen

But I don't know what's cooking.

They say I gotta learn

But nobody's here to teach me.

If they can't understand it, how can they reach me?

I guess they can't,

I guess they won't,

I guess they front,

That's why I know my life is out of luck, foo!



We've been spending most our lives

Living in a gangsta's paradise.

We've been spending most our lives

Living in a gangsta's paradise.

We keep spending most our lives

Living in a gangsta's paradise.

We keep spending most our lives

Living in a gangsta's paradise.

Tell me why are we

So blind to see.

That the ones we hurt

Are you and me?

Tell me why are we

So blind to see.

That the ones we hurt

Are you and me?

YOUTH BRIGADE LYRICS - Brigade Song

YOUTH BRIGADE LYRICS



"Brigade Song"






Gonna be a fight tonight

We're moving in, we're taking over

We're gonna have some fun tonight

If you can't take the heat, stay outta the street

Yesterdays heroes are forgotten today

And todays won't be remembered tomorrow

All the ideas must be swept away

No time for pity or sorrow



We're gonna kick some heads tonight

If you don't have friends you better take cover

The crews all here tonight

We've moved in, we've taken over

It don't matter how long you've been around

You're either real or just a wanna be

It's time for all you kids to realize

You either join or be left behind



We're gonna kick some heads tonight

If you don't have friends you better take cover

The crews all here tonight

We've moved in, we've taken over

It don't matter how long you've been around

You're either real or just a wanna be

It's time for all you kids to realize

You either join or be left behind

VERSE LYRICS - Sons And Daughters

VERSE LYRICS



"Sons And Daughters"






We're the sons and daughters of the poor man, the middle class man,

forced down to serve by the rich man's hand. This is the perspective

of a poor dead man's son, another kid that had to run, another life

struggling in the age of the gun. Running was only temporary, I tripped

up and I fell. I've learned from what they wanted: Silent people living

in hell, where we're taught there's a price for every man and a price for

every piece of land. Thrown into a life of stagnance, your mind's a Jail.

You're raised for profit and you were born to fail. Sometimes stepping out

of line and walking away from all you know is the hardest thing to leave

behind. A new life defined, now we can defy the greedy men with the greenest

of minds. We never wanted to be seen as a commodity, I refuse to be an

object of a vision that blinds me.

Aggression.

I gotta break the mold.

Aggression.

Never let them take control.

Aggression.

Hands in shackles, Mind's confined to a cage.

Aggression.

I won't stop until I've broken every chain.

THE GET UP KIDS LYRICS - Your Petty Pretty Little Things

THE GET UP KIDS LYRICS



"Your Petty Pretty Little Things"






All of your pretty things

Your petty pretty things are gone

the ground beneath your feet

isn't the stable earth you thought



A song so sweetly sung

as if the offer would rescind

credit all firsthand accounts

With need to write about and spin mistakes

they're all mistakes

they're all mistakes



But on the way down

On the way down

Before you can see

But all the way down

You laugh with the pieces

You just can't explain it all away

Away the damage

And after you atone

This is all you have to show



All of your pretty things

Those petty pretty things

You lost

Discerning tastes agree

The who you used to be

Was awful, to be true



But now we see you

Now we see you

On the way down

All the way down

Before you can see

But all the way down

You laugh with the pieces

You just can't explain it all away

Away the damage

And after you atone

This is all you have to show



"Does it seem to be persisting?" [x13]

GREEN DAY LYRICS - Letterbomb

GREEN DAY LYRICS



"Letterbomb"






Nobody likes you...

Everyone left you...

They're all out without you...

Having fun...



Where have all the bastards gone?

The underbelly stacks up ten high

The dummy failed the crash test

Collecting unemployment checks

Like a flunkie only along for the ride



Where have all the riots gone

As the city's motto gets pulverized?

What's in love is now in debt

On your birth certificate

So strike the fucking match to light this fuse!



The town bishop is an extortionist

And he don't even know that you exist

Standing still when it's do or die

You better run for your fucking life



It's not over 'till you're underground

It's not over before it's too late

This city's burnin'

It's not my burden

It's not over before it's too late



There's nothing left to analyze



Where will all the martyrs go when the virus cures itself?

And where will we all go when it's too late?



And don't look back



You're not the Jesus of Suburbia

The St. Jimmy is a figment of

Your father's rage and your mother's love

Made me the idiot America



It's not over 'till you're underground

It's not over before it's too late

This city's burnin'

It's not my burden

It's not over before it's too late



She said I can't take this place

I'm leaving it behind



Well she said I can't take this town

I'm leaving you tonight
