THE OFFSPRING LYRICS - Lightning Rod

THE OFFSPRING LYRICS

"Lightning Rod"

I am waiting

On a mountaintop

For the moment that the sky will strike

My apologies

Are forever lost

Soon to ashes in a flash of light



Miles from away from me

Hope is fading soon

Gone forever it's a waste of time

My intentions

Like a sweeter room

Only bring to me a fading light



Locked up forever inside

I look to the stars and ask why

If they could just teach my dark heart to feel

All I've saved - why

Is thrown away



I am waning

Like a single bloom

Lost forever in the storm of life

My intentions

Like a sweeter room

Only bring to me a fading light



Locked up forever inside

I look to the stars and ask why

If they could just show these wounds how to heal

Here I am - oh why

My last stand - oh why

And I know For all the rising and falling there's nothing to show



Throw me down



It's been raining

And now I will pay

Woe is come to me



I am the lightning rod



I am waiting

On a mountaintop

Oh above me

He will strike me!



Locked up forever inside

I look to the stars and ask why

If they could just teach my dark heart to feel

All I am - oh why

My last stand - oh why

And I know

For all the rising and falling there's nothing to show

NO MOTIV LYRICS - So What

NO MOTIV LYRICS

"So What"

Well I just thought about you

And all the things you do

How you're a friend of mine and got stabbed in the back

Taking what belongs to you

Now you're less talkative when I'm around

And something is not right

The things you said before

When you go out the door

Don't forget who your friends are

so now you're either with me or against me

and now you're really showing yourself

well how am I supposed to think good ofyou

when all you do is raise all this hell?

Right about now you can do your best

(like all the rest)

Right now you're rolling your eyes

And you're talking some shit

To all the friends that you're with

Well I have no more to say

Except stay away

And just leave me along because you don't understand

One fucking thing about friends

so now you're either with me or against me

and now you're really showing yourself

well how am I supposed to think good of you

when al you do is raise all this hell?

So what now?

THE WORD ALIVE LYRICS - Epiphany

THE WORD ALIVE LYRICS

"Epiphany"

Go!

You think I'm weak?

It's called honesty.

Believe me, here's your epiphany.

Just let go.

Your inner thoughts betray you.

I need to just let go.

It'll wear me down.

Unless I learn to finally pretend.

But I know that won't happen.



Oh it feeds and feeds.

It breaks down everything.

Destroys the life that I've been seeking.

You try to force your way in so you fight and fight you're battling.

I believe, nothing is what it seems.



There's something you don't know, a place you'll never go.

There's something you don't know, you need to let go.

There's something you don't know, a place you'll never go.

There's something you don't know, you need to let go.



You run from everything you can't control.

Let go of control.

It will wear me down.

Unless I learn to finally pretend, but I know that won't happen.



Oh it feeds and feeds.

It breaks down everything.

Destroys the life that I've been seeking.

You try to force your way in so you fight and fight you're battling.

I believe, nothing is what it seems.



Oh it feeds and feeds.

It breaks down everything.

Destroys the life that I've been seeking.



Oh it feeds and feeds.

It breaks down everything.

Destroys the life that I've been seeking.

Oh it feeds and feeds.

It breaks down everything.

Destroys the life that I've been seeking.

MEG & DIA LYRICS - Santa Barbara

MEG & DIA LYRICS

"Santa Barbara"

Pray for them

I often loose track

So I took a drag

of my first cigarrette

and I found my head

Roll down the dumps

of twenty seventh street



I drew a sketch

with lipstick and sidewalk

of Newports edge

Legoblock cliffs

and an ocean that doesn't

deserve the sounds of silence

I'd swear on a dead artists grave



I found a spot

where the drunk never got to

And it rocks me gently silent, silent

If I never surface

then it doesn't matter

Hold my breath

It's silent, silent, now



Diligent

Escape by the water

Not sick of it

It only gets harder

That's no excuse

to block all the cliches and

reason for kicks



He strokes her hair

both sitting on sand

and her shoulders bare

nothing to demand of them

laying back on a lonely stone wall

and passersby look passed it all



I found a spot

where the drunk never got to

And it rocks me gently silent, silent

If I never surface

then it doesn't matter

Hold my breath

It's silent, silent



[guitar solo]



I found a spot

where the drunk never got to

It rocks me gently silent, silent

If I never surface

then it doesn't matter

Hold my breath

It's silent, silent, now

THURSDAY LYRICS - Panic On The Streets Of Health Care City

THURSDAY LYRICS

"Panic On The Streets Of Health Care City"

The I. V. drips, the days drag on,

The anesthetics now wearing off

Adjust the light switch in the hall.

This is the end.

These are the last days.

These are the last days.



Now take our hands in a roll of red tape,

Genetic information strands are tighter than trip wires.

And we awake in the light of other lives,

This can't be happening, these sirens are for me, yeah.



So what happened to the hospital,

To cut the cost of collected health?

Dying in the shadow of the hospital

We got the city in our blood and it's making us sick.

But you stay alive until their blood fills up your wallet,

Blazing up the sky.



These are the last days

These are the last days.

Where we all wake.

Where we all wake.



The I. V. drips, the days drag on,

The anesthetics now wearing off.

Adjust the light switch in the hall,

Someone has left it on.

And maybe the x-ray screen keeps it from getting dark.

The bulb burns out when it gets too hot.

Are we just a blink in the eyes of a pulse machine?

It's lightning divorcing the storm

Try to shut it off, codeine catch, the windows latched and

The clock keeps circling the room tick, tock.



We lost control.

(White out white out)

In white outs followed magnetic fields to the fire.

(White out white out)

Out of control.

We fight currents in the water, we can't let go to shore.

We lost control.

THE GHOST OF A THOUSAND LYRICS - Nobody Likes A Hero

THE GHOST OF A THOUSAND LYRICS

"Nobody Likes A Hero"

It's just a common cold, brought on by a lack of trust, it's just a small stone hanging from an iron cross, it's just a black mark picked up by a fucking nurse, we walk away, walk away like it's not our fault. Can't see, mouth fills up with tar, black tar, if only you could see. I can't see it, my mouth fills up it's just that we're dazzled in the homes of the magistrates. Tongue, whip, gold, no choice, we're dazzled in the homes of the magistrates. Can't see it, my mouth fills up with tar, black tar, if only you could see, we're dazzled in the homes of the magistrates, we're dazzled in the homes of the magistrates, we're dazzled by the magistrates.

DIRT LYRICS

"Another Filled Hole"

A woman in a graveyard mourning for her son he gave his life to fight in a war he thought was fun. A bunch of yellow roses lay upon his grave but for all the tears she shedded no one can be saved. He traded his freedom for a uniform and gun, he traded in his brain for a life he thought was fun, he gave his country what it wanted, brave and strong, fresh blood, he gave himself a mortuary bed when it spilled into the mud. His father had once walked that path, but now he pays the price of a son who followed his steps and who lost his life, the telegram just noted of the bravery of their son, but was it a mistake that he was killed in action? a woman in a graveyard, another day has passed and another son is killed in a war that for years will last, the bunch of yellow roses will always mark the spot, for a son who joins the army, his memory is forgot.

NEW FOUND GLORY LYRICS - Crazy For You

NEW FOUND GLORY LYRICS

"Crazy For You"

From the movie "Vision Quest"

Originally by Madonna

Featuring Max Bemis of Say Anything

Swaying room as the music starts

Strangers making the most of the dark

Two by two their bodies become one



I see you through the smokey air

Can't you feel the weight of my stare

You're so close but still a world away

What I'm dying to say, is that



I'm crazy for you

Touch me once and you'll know it's true

I never wanted anyone like this

It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss

I'm crazy for you, crazy for you



Trying hard to control my heart

I walk over to where you are

Eye to eye we need no words at all



Slowly now we begin to move

Every breath I'm deeper into you

Soon we two are standing still in time

If you read my mind, you'll see



I'm crazy for you

Touch me once and you'll know it's true

I never wanted anyone like this

It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss

(I'll feel it in my kiss)



Because I'm crazy for you,

Touch me once and you'll know it's true

I never wanted anyone like this

It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss,

I'm crazy for you, crazy for you,



Crazy for you (Trying hard to control my heart)

I'm crazy for you (Trying hard to control my heart)



It's all brand new, I'm crazy for you

And you know it's true (yeah)

I'm crazy for you



It's all brand new, I'm crazy for you

And you know it's true (yeah)

I'm crazy for you

PENNYWISE LYRICS - Change My Mind

PENNYWISE LYRICS

"Change My Mind"

every time i talk - you just say i'm wrong

i can't take it anymore a thousand lies a billion strong

you have to be right - you argue all the time

CURSIVE LYRICS - Art Is Hard

CURSIVE LYRICS

"Art Is Hard"

Cut it out - your self-inflicted pain

is getting too routine

the crowds are catching on - to the self-inflicted song

Well, here we go again - the art of acting weak

Fall in love to fail - to boost your CD sales

And that CD sells - yeah, what a hit

You've got to repeat it

you gotta' sink to swim



If at first you don't succeed

you gotta recreate your misery

'cause we all know art is hard

young artists have gotta starve

Try, and fail, and try again

the comforts of repetition

Keep churning out those hits

'til it's all the same old shit



Oh, a second verse!

Well, color me fatigued

I'm hiding in the leaves

in the CD jacket sleeves

tired of entertaining

some double-dipped meaning

a soft serve analogy

This drunken angry slur

in thirty-one flavors

You gotta' sink to swim

immerse yourself in rejection

regurgitate some sorry tale

about a boy who sells his love affairs

You gotta' fake the pain

you better make it sting

you're gonna' break a leg

when you get on stage

and they scream your name

"Oh, Cursive is so cool!"



You gotta sink to swim

impersonate greater persons

'cause we all know art is hard

when we don't know who we are

WHISKEY REBELS LYRICS - Carry On

WHISKEY REBELS LYRICS

"Carry On"

It's not fair to want to die

When so many fight to live

Far worse off than you or I

with nothing left to give

I'm older and I'm wiser, I'm closer to death

with a chip on my shoulder that's causing me stress



Or is it a boulder, a weight on my chest

So easy to get stuck, forget that I'm blessed.

If you're in the game, you're in the game, play by it's rules

If you walk the walk, talk the talk, you'll never play the fool.



Why?

Why do I still try?

Why do I still fight!

Why do I desire?

Pictures on my wall inspire me



Some need Machiavelli and some need jesus christ

and some read in between the lines and carry on the fight

If you get hit up you get hit up, you're never backing down

You walk the walk, talk the talk, so take it to the ground.



I don't know why I still try

Well I don't care if I live or fucking die

But I look to your eyes

Sets me free of my desire

PLAGUE THE CITY LYRICS - Talk Is Cheap

PLAGUE THE CITY LYRICS

"Talk Is Cheap"

We've lost control

Of all we've ever known

If we change direction

Will we make it through the night

You'll never know whoa-oh



So

Give up the fight

Do I haunt your dream at night

Your imperfections overwhelm

Makes you sick of keeping hope

Doctors cannot diagnose

Which words I left unsaid



We've lost control

Of all we've ever known

If we change direction

Will we make it through the night

You'll never know whoa-oh



Just close your eyes

Count back from ten

This won't take long



We've lost control

Of all we've ever known

If we change direction

Will we make it through the night

You'll never know no-oh!



Give up the fight

Do I haunt your dreams at night

I don't miss what we had(?)



We've lost control

Of all we've ever known

If we change direction

Will we make it through the night

You'll never know whoa-oh

GRIMSKUNK LYRICS - Footsteps in Loyola

GRIMSKUNK LYRICS

"Footsteps in Loyola"

Creepers in the halls

Behind forbiden walls

Under watchful eyes

I'm a dirty old man watch out

Do you heard that?

I don't know...I did

Now there's footsteps in the halls

and no one hears our calls

And the sweat so gently falls

(and now we're on the run)

(escape the haunted ones)

Now there's blood stairs in the halls

See the traces on the walls

Inside here a demon crawls

He's a dirty old man

You better watch out

AGAINST ALL AUTHORITY LYRICS - Conditioning

AGAINST ALL AUTHORITY LYRICS

"Conditioning"

Every day the brainwash trend, repeating the words put into my head

never thinkin about what they mean monotone, like a damn machine

i stood in line, a single file a uniform to fit the style

but my individuality they could never take from me

shown a cross and made to pray do exactly what they say

they told me it was the only way chant the same thing every day

i put my hand upon my chest and say some words that were meaningless

but deep inside i always knew your system sucks and so do you

desensitized to almost everything conditioned to act without thinking [x2]

LIFE'S BLOOD LYRICS

"Guilty As Charged"

I confess to defiance

I live-the dead can't say no

I refuse to be dragged along

I'll make up my mind while I still have one

A life of violence

I can't abide

Stand in your way

Willing to be tried

Take my liberty-then give me death!

Your offensive actions I'm not willing to accept

I stand between you and your profanities

I'll die on my feet I won't live on my knees

I am not afraid

To stand guilty as charged

Accused of asking questions

I stand guilty as charged

"Farewell To Shady Glade"

You know that you were my collection, an addiction out of style.

All these words you said to me, you know they mean so much.

All these words you said to me, you know they mean so much to me.



You were nothing but a style, I wish, I could believe that lie.



You were my collection, an addiction out of style.



All these memories see right through you to me.

I keep losing sleep cause the words you failed to say.

Looking back at mistakes you were wrong.

Should have seen this coming all along.

No days I could take, no months I could spend at your waste.

Oh, you'll never know.



You were my collection, an addiction out of style.



You have the crown my only beautiful

Cause tonight we dance on dead men's stone.

"You have the crown so beautifully placed.

And we can't be stopped by this alone,

And we'll stop at nothing for you

Because tonight we dance on dead men's stones"



I don't believe that you're losing sleep over.

I don't believe that you're losing sleep over.

I don't believe that you're losing sleep.

What a perfect ending

To this film we are watching.

‘Cause she loves her boyfriend

Like he has loved his girlfriend.



Just like the night sleeps on by,

Just like the sun wakes the sky

They are so in love

Like we are so in love



So hug it tight and embrace it

Don’t let the world deface it

Just let it shout with amazement

As we dance tonight



Just like the cold becomes spring

Just like the perfect day dream

Just like your pretty eyes gleam

We are so in love

"Conan"

I think I'm about to go off

Max Weinberg kicks the show off

Wit, charm and a devious smile

We're gonna be here for a while tonight



He is the only guy we turn to

For our celebrity interviews

Red hair that's never going anywhere

All I can do is sit and stare

Don't bother me cause I don't care tonight



Oh, Conan can't you see

You're the one for me?

Conan, don't you know

You're my late night TV hero?



I wish and hope and pray he might

Let me be a guest on the show tonight

Talking about anything and everything

Oh, golly how I want to be

A part of his hilarity tonight



And I don't mean to sound like a jerk

But you're the only show that still redeems your network



Oh, Conan can't you see

We were meant to be?

Conan, don't you know

You will always be my hero?

NOMEANSNO LYRICS - Big Dick

NOMEANSNO LYRICS

"Big Dick"

Like a monkey in the zoo

You're half gorilla too

When you pound it with your fist

And make it real stiff

Big dick

Gotta cover your mistake

Your bloody outtakes

So you dip it in the wine

And make a holy sign

Big dick



Big dick! Come quick

Big dick! Come quick



Well you're running up a tree

You're trying not too sream

But you are pounding on your chest

Like you wipped the best

Big dick

The rivers of blood

You've spilled have turned to mud

Now the flies are buzzin' round

Don't it make a loud sound

Big dick



Big dick! Come quick

Big dick! Come quick



It won't be long

Till those bad bits are gone

It won't be long

Till those bad bits are gone



Now we are sitting by the fire

But daddy's getting tired

`cause hes drunk the whole crock

now he's got a limp cock

Big dick



Big dick! Come quick

Big dick! Come quick
