THE NEW AMSTERDAMS LYRICS - From California

THE NEW AMSTERDAMS LYRICS

"From California"

Uncommon amount of the time at home, hardly a word on the telephone. Finally find the time to get to know you. Still mapping it out like a master plan, something to do with my idle hands. Write you a letter addressed from California. It's vivid and strong in my memory, an absence that smacks of abandoning. It let to the battle that ultimately destroyed us. I'm nothing if I don't know your mistakes, the pill is as bitter as I can take. It twists like a blade when I leave for California. I hope that you know this is killing me, it's all in the name of the family. We only can play the cards the dealer dealt us. The end of the cycle is closing in, with you I see new hope begin again. There suddenly seems to be promise in California. As heavy as all this is weighing me, believe in the words I am promising. I'm still here for her. The distance is only an obstacle, hardly a match for a miracle. I'm finally ready to go to California.

GOLDFINGER LYRICS - Faith

GOLDFINGER LYRICS

"Faith"

I ask myself

Where has passion gone? Have I grown up?

Am I too old?

I don't feel like I did

I need to feel, there's nothing else

Nothing left

But your taste in my mind

Where have I gone?

Where have I gone?



And you come along to sing this song

Restore my faith like nothing's wrong

You come along to sing this song

Restore my faith like nothing's wrong



But I

Sing a new song



I feel sick

I need more than this

Where have I gone?

Where have I gone? What shuts me down, tears me apart?

I don't know

What I am

Where's the man, the man with dreams? One man alone

I haven't changed a thing



And you come along to sing this song

Restore my faith like nothing's wrong

You come along to sing this song

Restore my faith like nothing's wrong

And you come along to sing this song

Restore my faith like nothing's wrong

You come along to sing this song

Restore my faith like nothing's wrong



But I

Sing a new song

THE REUNION SHOW LYRICS - Star Training

THE REUNION SHOW LYRICS

"Star Training"

she wants to be in magazines and be beautiful for everyone to see

it's raining in her room again

so she turns off the TV

she wants to be on movie screens

so she practices her lines

(and her kisses)

she's sleeping in a broken car

that she borrowed from her best friend

she knows one day she'll make me proud

and all the world will look at her now

she smiles politely as she steps out of her dreams and wakes up

her eyes are open

the dream is over

the sky is falling

it's broken, it's broken

training to be a star, you know that you are...

he writes books of poetry

though he hasn't read any since he read e. e.

drinking himself to sleep

pretending that he's boring

(not to sound deep)

he knows one day he'll write his book

and all the world will have a look

he smiles politely as he steps out of his dream and wakes up

she wants to be in magazine

he wants to act on movie screens

he sees those girls

but they look the other way

Training to be a star.

you know that you are.

THE MIDNIGHT LIFE LYRICS - Dangerous Maneuvers

THE MIDNIGHT LIFE LYRICS

"Dangerous Maneuvers"

Involve yourself in this moment

We've got ourselves in the movement

Evolve your sound with our music

We've got you trapped in this moment



Just walk a little slower dear

Put one foot in front of the other

And listen just a little closer

To the sounds that we enact

A promise as sure as the sun

You've already had your little run

Look up and squint those eyes

We've already torched the skies



React react

(Its a dangerous maneuver)

Pick up the slack that you left

Where's your motive?

(To stick to the same rhyme scheme)

Reenact reenact.

(I will not be caught dead)

The sounds that we attract

The sounds that we have tracked



Living in this shadow

You call creativity

the sun has set

This is our time



We have got

To keep on

Moving straight

Through these walls



If music is your weapon of choice

Then your gun is jammed

So try to fire away

You`re writing the same cliche lines

And no one understands



React react

(Its a dangerous maneuver)

Pick up the slack that you left

Where's your motive?

(To stick to the same rhyme scheme)

Reenact reenact.

(I will not be caught dead)

The sounds that we attract

The sounds that we have tracked



Reenact

the sounds

of the past

Just move forward



Lets turn a

New leaf

In this book

We call music

history

PENNYWISE LYRICS - Gone

PENNYWISE LYRICS

"Gone"

I'm falling down, I'm staggering

I'm here and then I'm gone

And if you try to find me

I'm nowhere to be found

I'm in somebody's shadow

In someone else's dream

I'm in your girlfriend's mind

As funny as it seems

I'm here and then I'm gone

Sometimes I pass right through you

When you're down at memory lane

Sometimes it's only me in there

That causes you great pain

When you gonna realize

When you gonna face

All you and me went through was

A pleasant little phase

I'm gonna find you

When you least expect me to

You'll never find me

Unless I want to be

THIS TIME NEXT YEAR LYRICS - Calling In Dead

THIS TIME NEXT YEAR LYRICS

"Calling In Dead"

I want to sleep for days

When my heart's sick

She's calling and calling

She's pouring salt in my wounds

You'll be alone someday

That's a promise

It's shameful to know

Little girls grow up to be you

Never mind your best intentions

I've come to find these situations

Never cease to rest,

They always get the best of me

You know that it's true

Fair weather, go figure

Calling it quits had its run

So I'm calling in dead

Fair weather, go figure

Some things are better unsaid

So I'm calling in dead

I want to sleep for days

When my heart's sick

She's calling, she's calling

She's pouring salt in my wounds

Never mind your best intentions

I've come to find these situations

Never cease to rest

They always get the best of me

You know that it's true

So pray to God it's all in your head

That I never told a lie or never will again

I'm not your friend, in fact

Why don't you hang yourself

You're a blatant contradiction

To your heart felt confessions

MEG & DIA LYRICS - Roses

MEG & DIA LYRICS

"Roses"

Turn around there's those eyes again.

Turn around fake indifference and I.

Watch their cold, dark silhouettes disappear.

A hundred bodies fill this room.

And all their faces overdone.

Pain is foreign, foreign to us.

I don't even know you.

You won't even know I'm gone.

Was it something I did wrong?

Roses, roses cold.

Roses, roses sold out.

Turn around reds and whites again.

I'd sell my kicks for one more low tar.

Fevers hand in hand with shoelace bracelets.

Why are some girls so naive?

He didn't unbutton your blouse to see.

A better view of your heart.

Oh yeah, can't blame you for trying.

Sing it soft.

Make it slow.

Apples parachute the boys back down.

Fill it up.

Overflow.

A new, improved modern way to feel.

I don't even know you.

You won't even know I'm gone.

Was it something I did wrong?

ALL LYRICS - Mary

ALL LYRICS

"Mary"

If you talk to Mary please don't look at me

Cause she's never seen me before

Don't call attention to the man outside of me

Cause she can cut my head off with the blinking of her eye

And I'm not supposed to be here and I'm too young to die

See, she carries my confusion in the pocket of her jeans

I go bouncing like a pinball in between extremes



I'm not surprised, this happens all the time

And my hand lights her cigarette inside my mind

And she's never seen me before



So if you talk to Mary please don't mention me

Cause she's never seen me before

Just let me hide behind the smoke and the pleasantries

Cause I do my best work with the mannequin brigade

I just peek around the statues spitting art and foreign trade

She looks a hole right through me to a shadow on the wall

Till I'm sick of my surroundings while I'm not here at all



I'm not surprised this happens all the time

And my hand lights her cigarette inside my mind

And she's never seen me before



Warhol monotone, robotic talk, we're all so smart we're so perceptive

But her mouth doesn't move, except to smile to be polite

To receptive

She burns me with a glance. I look away

I'm safely cool, I'm so deceptive



I'd give my right arm for a different situation

Convince myself I see everybody watching me

I set myself up for this stupid situation

SUBHUMANS LYRICS - Straightline Thinking

SUBHUMANS LYRICS

"Straightline Thinking"

We are all controlled by reinforcement or rules

Passed by those who are merely the tools of a system

Where achievement is based on deceit of the masses

By someone in whom they believe

We are all controlled by the straight-line thinking of straight-line thinkers

Who gave up drinking and smoking to avoid being lower

Than their aspirations would allow them to go

We are all controlled by fear of the unknown

Because we re not told all that there is to know

About things we consider as normal existence

So we accept exploitation and show no resistance

We are all controlled in our thoughts and our actions

By things we were told by past generations

Of parents who used to rebel just the same as we do now so who gets the blame?

We are the rebels like the rebels before us

Pre-destined to scream in an out of tune



Chorus of voices repeating the words of the past

That diffuse in the process of ageing too fast

Deep in the soul if there is one it tells you to do

As you feel not as someone outside you dictates through their own misguided conception

Of what part you must play in this game of deception

TERRORGRUPPE LYRICS

"Ford"

Ford hat ein Auto gebaut,

Daß ist ein wenig laut

Es ist nicht wasserdicht -

Und manchmal fährt es nicht

Nananana nana nananananana!

OZMA LYRICS - Your Name

OZMA LYRICS

"Your Name"

Your name was given to you

Out of two hearts something new

It seemed too small when you finally grew

But it was yours; what could you do?

You felt that life was a chore

Keeping your boat close to shore

So you set sail seeking fortune and fame and changed your name

But still it remains

Tied like an anchor onto your heart

Asking you, "why did we ever part?"

EMBRACE LYRICS - Do Not Consider Yourself Free

EMBRACE LYRICS

"Do Not Consider Yourself Free"

I didn't want to see people

Hurting people

But I refuse to close my eyes

So in front of me

I see ugly people

Seething and believing ugly

Lies



And yes, of course, I'm

Scared of being hurt

And yes, of course, I'm

Scared of being wrong

But at the same time my silence

Will convict me

And the evil will carry on

If I can do some good

I want to do it

If I have a choice

I want to make it

It's my human responsibility

That life lives

Selfishness gives

And death becomes natural



So you can stay cool behind

Your window

And choose the view

You want to see

But as long as there are

Others held captive

Do not consider

Yourself free.

GOOD RIDDANCE LYRICS - Start At Zero

GOOD RIDDANCE LYRICS

"Start At Zero"

In the freezing rain waiting on the last train

This is how we live how we fall in love

Last time that we spoke the room was full of smoke

I watched the clock and watched you wak away



Times fade until there's nothing to remember

Just empty promises we made

When words fade memories loose thier meaning

Until it all fades...



We are vain we are full of fear

We cling to our posessions for another year

Blame takes those we love leaving only one

Terrified we bar the gates and load our shiny guns



Feels like I'm running out of days

There's something inside me

I don't want the world to see

And it feel like it's closing in on me

SUM 41 LYRICS - All She's Got

SUM 41 LYRICS

"All She's Got"

This place reminds me of,

A time that's way too old.

These thoughts have gathered up the memories unfold.

But for now I don't see what's so wrong with pretending

It's true I thought you knew.



Believe her, it's all she's got to pass the time

Believe her, it's over now she's passed her prime.

Believe her, it's all she's got to keep things right

Believe her it's all she's got it's all she's got.

It's all she's got, it's all she's got.



These days keep getting worse I'm wasting all my time.

I thought I'd come in first, instead I fell behind.

I don't know, I don't know if I can keep this up to long.

It seems most every time my motives are all wrong

But for now I don't see what's so wrong with pretending

It's true I thought you knew.



Believe her, it's all she's got to pass the time

Believe her, it's over now she's passed her prime.

Believe her, it's all she's got to keep things right

Believe her it's all she's got it's all she's got.



It's times like this, but time's run out

It's times like this, but time's run out

It's times like this, but time's run out

It's times like this, I want to,



Believe her, it's all she's got to pass the time

Believe her, it's over now she's passed her prime.

Believe her, it's all she's got to keep things right

Believe her it's all she's got it's all she's got.

KAPITULATION B. O.N. N. LYRICS

"White House"

Seid bitte so gut und hört ihnen zu

Jetzt sprechen Männer wie ich und du

Ohne sie seid ihr nichts, doch wer mit ihnen geht

Ist ein Mensch der die Zeichen der Zeit versteht

Hört her ihr Bewohner aus Sumpf und Moor

Kriecht aus den Kanälen und den Höhlen hervor

Lauscht ihren Worten, seht die Videoclips

Ihr bleichen Gesichter und Plastikchips



White house, here comes the white white house



Ihr habt heute Nacht was besonderes zu tun

Was es sein wird, das befiehlt man euch nun

Brecht raus alle Zähne aus eurem Gebiss

Schmeißt sie raus auf die Straße wie den Dreck auf den Mist

Wir werden daraus einen Palast euch bauen

Wie ein Elfenbeintempel anzuschauen

Euer Führer und Gott wird wohnen darin

Und eure zahnlosen Mäuler werden beten zu ihm

The whole world is getting high

While all our jobs are so dry.

I can see, I can hear your cries.



I'm not the type of guy

To let my life pass me by.

And all I know, I've heard back at home.



Oh, your mom was a centerfold.

Your dad was so typical.

I'm a lush, so what's your story?



And every single day,

I watch as my neighbors pray:

"Please don't fill our world with hate."



And when will the world see

There aren't any bad seeds?

With life comes room to grow.



Oh, your mom was a centerfold.

Your dad was so typical.

I'm a junkie, so what's your story?



I'm sorry, boys and girls,

But you will be judged AND labeled your entire life.

No ifs, ands, or buts.

We all have our problems,

And we all have our habits.

So what exactly separates you from me?



Oh, your mom was a centerfold.

Your dad was so typical.

I'm a lush, yeah, so what's your story?



Oh, your mom was a centerfold.

Your dad was so typical.

I'm a junkie, so what's your story?



(Oh, OH, oh...)

You're bound to be a centerfold.

(Oh, OH, oh...)

You're bound to be typical.

I'm a lush, so what's your story?

I'm a junkie, so what's your story?

I'm just me, so what's your story? yeah...

THE BRIGGS LYRICS - Molly

THE BRIGGS LYRICS

"Molly"

Take a bow

Collect all your pumps and praise

Like a bomb, you turn night into day

I want to sing all the things my mind forgets

But the words don’t escape my mouth occupied by this cigarette



Yesterday

I thought it couldn’t get much worse

Until I woke up this morning

I hoped to sleep until this chaos was gone

So don’t wait for me, it’s time to move on



Carry on, carry on

To where? I don’t know

Carry on, my dear Molly, we have to let go

Carry on, carry on

To where? I don’t know

Carry on, my dear Molly, carry on



The moon hides behind the clouds

The foothills don’t make a sound

The clocks tired arms continue to spin round

I hold my breath under this ocean of silence

Until I put an end to this mind of violence



Carry on, carry on

To where? I don’t know

Carry on, my dear Molly, we have to let go

Carry on, carry on

To where? I don’t know

Carry on, my dear Molly, carry on

THE OFFSPRING LYRICS - The Noose

THE OFFSPRING LYRICS

"The Noose"

Well our souls are all mistaken in the same misguided way

We all end up forsaken, we're just choosing our own way

The future now incinerates before our very eyes

And leaves us with emptiness of no more tries



Well our visions of a glory now have spiraled down the drain

The best of our intentions that come crashing down in flames

The depths of our despair we are unable to contain

It's shallow living



The noose is falling

And all my friends are crawling

The noose is falling

And enemies are rising

A truth appalling

Our mak'r comes a calling

The noose is falling

And enemies are rising



Well the tracers from yesteryear are burning in the dust

Your bruises are reminders of naivete and trust

You're only feeling stronger cause your body's getting numb

Now I lay you down

Put the coins in your eyes

And blow the candles out



The noose is falling

And all my friends are crawling

The noose is falling

And enemies are rising

A truth appalling

Our mak'r comes a calling

The noose is falling

And enemies are rising



No more!

No more!

Nothing!



No more!

No more!

Ever!

No!

More!

TILT LYRICS - Kowtow

TILT LYRICS

"Kowtow"

Explain away the obvious in a single breath

Your eyes betray your countenance they're signaling distress

Your wagging speech is withering and clothed beyond reproach

Shaming and ambiguous the fabric of your coat

Initial observation yields a striking silhouette

A close examination shows the cut of avarice

Flimsy and inaccurate the coarseness of the weave

A blanket condemnation draped upon a heartless sleeve



I may be hungry

I may be lonely

But not for you

No I don't know your etiquette

I won't kowtow to you

I may be hungry

I may be lonely

But not for you

And even though I'm desperate

I won't kowtow to you



Your estate is brazen you are held within your will

The home that you have chosen owns a stultifying chill

Foundation is eroding and the ground is undermined

For all your underpinning you keep slipping down the side

Amazing cast of characters like busy little bees

They come to prop you back up but they know you're hard to please

How it must consume you all you must ingest

To generate the fuel to maintain your edifice



I may be hungry

I may be lonely

But not for you

No I don't know your etiquette

I won't kowtow to you

I may be hungry

I may be lonely

But not for you

And even though I'm desperate

I won't kowtow to you



I may be hungry

I may be lonely

But not for you

No I don't know your etiquette

I won't kowtow to you



I may be hungry

I may be lonely

But not for you

And even though I'm desperate

I won't kowtow

I won't kowtow to you



I may be hungry

I may be lonely

But not for you

No I don't know your etiquette

I won't kowtow to you



I may be hungry

I may be lonely

But not for you

And even though I'm desperate

I won't kowtow to you

If hope is a dangerous hole

Will you join me?

Jump there's a world of war

Eyes closed for lives to open up

PRETTY GIRLS MAKE GRAVES LYRICS - The New Romance

PRETTY GIRLS MAKE GRAVES LYRICS

"The New Romance"

It started in our basement

It started in our bedroom

Got it in the basement

Got it in the bedroom

Got it in the garage

Got it in on the rooftop

Burns the fire inside my head



It's revealing, fascinating

We got it, we set the motion

Now we have it in our hands

We're selfish with the new romance

What's ours is ours, and ours is secret

There's no point in explanation

If you don't know, then you won't know



Restless, fed up tough and clever

Wishing this would last forever

Is futile when, you know it won't

CHOKING VICTIM LYRICS - Money

CHOKING VICTIM LYRICS

"Money"

Other versions of this song:

Money from ep "Crack Rock Steady"





[Spoken:]

The function, of, that police action,

Those interventions in Central America and the Middle East,

The function is system sustaining.

It is to maintain that overall system.

And you don't look at the particular cost.

I can demonstrate to you that every single bank robbery,

That in every single case practically,

the cost of the police was more then the actual money

that the robbers took from the bank.

Does that mean, oh you see?

There's really no economic interest involved in it.

They're not protecting the banks!

The police are just doing this because they're on a power trip,

or they're macho, or uh they're control freaks.

That's why they do it. No! Of course it's an economic,

of course they're defending the banks.

Of course, because if they didn't stop that bank robbery, regardless of the cost,

This could jeopardize the entire banking system.

You see, there are people who believe that the function of the police is to fight crime.

And that's not true, the function of the police is social control,

and protection of property.



AHHH!



I am sick and tired and my money's always spent,

And though their jobs are killing me, their money pays my rent.

The fuel of world hate, although it's just a seed,

But when it grows and flowers, it becomes the world's greed!



Money for the rich, money for the fed,

God supplies the money and God supplies the dead!

And when yer dead and ready, "exploited" be thy name,

'Cause after you have money, things are never quite the same!



I don't care for money, and money's not for me,

The money fueled this empire and our racist history.

Although I'm forced to use it, the rules have all been set.

But life is not worth living when yer soul is in debt!



Money for the rich, money for the fed,

God supplies the money and God supplies the dead!

And when yer dead and ready, "exploited" be thy name,

'Cause after you have money, things are never quite the same!

Never quite the same!



AHHH!



MONEY KILLS!

MONEY RAPES!

MONEY LIES!

MONEY HATES!
