THURSDAY LYRICS - Autobiography Of A Nation

THURSDAY LYRICS



"Autobiography Of A Nation"






Write these words back down inside

We have burned their villages

people in them died (all the people in them died)

We adopt their customs and everything they say we steal

(All the dreams they had we kill)



Still we all sleep sound tonight

Is this what you wanted to hear?

We erased all their images and dance

And replaced them with borders and flags



Everything you say you stole

Everything you say you stole



At the top of this timeline you'll remember

This is the lipstick on the collar

And in my own life I've seen it in the mirror

sometimes at the cost of others hopes



So write these words back down inside

That's where you need it the most

and without conviction of heart

you will never feel it at all



Yeah, we all dance to the same beat when we we're marching

Yeah, the TV tells us everything we need

And this scene is painting in all the fashions of the moment

And history is all the same



Everything you say you stole

Every dream you dream you bought

GOB LYRICS - When Life Gets Boring

GOB LYRICS



"When Life Gets Boring..."






She creeps into my head so many mornings.

What am I supposed to do when life gets boring?

This fixation with her, it goes much deeper

Than just a photograph; wish I could keep her.



Can't get her off my mind, happens all the time.

I'm tearing everything down.



Oh, I should have known better.

Oh, I should have known better.



I watch her shop for clothes, true value vintage.

Stare from across the room, she makes her purchase.

The wheel inside my head has started rolling.

It's going to take me away (it's going to take me away).



Can't get her off my mind, happens all the time (ah).

I'm tearing everything down.



Oh, I should have known better.

Oh, I should have known better.



Can't get her off my mind, happens all the time.

I'm tearing everything down.

Get her off my mind, happens all the time.

I'm tearing everything down, get down!



I'll keep my distance.

I'm better off putting this behind me.

I'm overdrawn, I withdrew.

I'm down and out and thanks to you.

I'll keep my distance.

I'm better off putting this behind me.

I'm overdrawn, I withdrew.

I'm down and out and thanks to you.



Oh, I should have known better.

Oh, I should have known better.

Oh, I should have known better.

Oh, I should have known...

Whoa, whoa, I should have known better.

Oh, I should have known better.

Oh, I should have known better.

Oh, I should have known...

THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM LYRICS - God's Gonna Cut You Down

THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM LYRICS



"God's Gonna Cut You Down"



Traditional folk song, cover of a Johnny Cash version






You can run on for a long time

Run on for a long time

Run on for a long time

Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Sooner or later God'll cut you down



Go tell that long tongue liar

Go and tell that midnight rider

Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down



Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news

My head's been wet with the midnight dew

I've been down on bended knee talkin' to the man from Galilee

He spoke to me in the voice so sweet

I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet

He called my name and my heart stood still

When he said, "John go do My will!"



Go tell that long tongue liar

Go and tell that midnight rider

Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down



You can run on for a long time

Run on for a long time

Run on for a long time

Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Sooner or later God'll cut you down



Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand

Workin' in the dark against your fellow man

But as sure as God made black and white

What's down in the dark will be brought to the light



You can run on for a long time

Run on for a long time

Run on for a long time

Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Sooner or later God'll cut you down



Go tell that long tongue liar

Go and tell that midnight rider

Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down

Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down

WE THE KINGS LYRICS - Headlines Read Out

WE THE KINGS LYRICS



"Headlines Read Out..."


Other versions of this song:

Headlines Read Out... from ep "Between The Ink And Paper"





Stay for a moment and

I promise that I will be different

And you'll see me

Wait, wait

And I'll show you

There is more to this if you will listen

And you'll soon believe



Extra, extra, hear me now



I am not the kind

That will hide

Beneath the lights

And lyrical one liners

I can't stand the hype



And I am not the kind

That will lie

Between the lines of love

And faking it all for these

Headlines read out... whoa



Stay for a moment

I'll be the biggest bet

With greater odds

That you have ever seen

Wait, wait

Someone stop me now

Cause I don't think

I can hold this down for you

You'll see me



Extra, extra, hear me now



I am not the kind

That will hide

Beneath the lights

And lyrical one liners

I can't stand the hype



And I am not the kind

That will lie

Between the lines of love

And faking it all for these

Headlines read out... whoa



Can't you see that this is proof you need?

Can't you see that this is what we all need?



I am not the kind

That will hide

Beneath the lights

And lyrical one liners

I can't stand the hype



And I am not the kind

That will lie

Between the lines of love

And faking it all for these

Headlines read out... whoa

THE SUICIDE MACHINES LYRICS - Face Values

THE SUICIDE MACHINES LYRICS



"Face Values"






You've got No friends and so you're lonely.

It does not have to be this way

Just be yourself, the one and only

It take some time but that's okay



Alright, no need to fight

'cause everybody's different

and there's nothin you can do about it

and just because i dont look like you or act like you

It doesn't make me any better or worse



I used to be just like you

instead I found better things to do

than worry 'bout what the others think

or wonder if there's something wrong with me



You hate yourself cause you're not like them

well understand that this is wrong

You're better off doing your own thing,

being yourself and being strong

THE MORNING OF LYRICS - Diagnosis: Cold Weather

THE MORNING OF LYRICS



"Diagnosis: Cold Weather"






I can't believe I fell for that,

your act with me would get an Emmy in romantic tragedies



I pretend you're my blanket at night and I hold you so tight

And for that little moment where I believe it's you

It's like the sunrise came early and and decided to stay (stay for a day)

And the beautiful pink that comes about is so reminiscent of you (so ugly compared to you)



I wish I was the scarf around your neck, I'd tie myself so tight,

And watch your lungs drain to blue, how does

it feel to have the breath knocked out of you



I guess I'll be it and I'll count to a 100 or if you want more time

I'll count the times that you hurt me, and you can make your getaway

isn't this the chance you've been waiting for? (I'm sick of your games),

the moment where I take my eyes off you, so as to not peek,

the coast is clear and it's clear it's not only little kids that cheat



I wish I was the scarf around your neck, I'd tie myself so tight,

And watch your lungs drain to blue,

how does it feel to have the breath knocked out of you



I watch your lungs turn drain to blue,

how does it feel to have the breath knocked out of you

FRENZAL RHOMB LYRICS - 4 Litres

FRENZAL RHOMB LYRICS



"4 Litres"






Sup...

Comes in a box

It will fuck you up

It speaks so softly to you

tell you to have a sup

It's moselle, chablis, ros©, reisling

When you think it's gone

Well you know it's not

Just blow it up

Because you know it's all you've got

It's cheaper than the box it comes in

4 Litres...

Choke on number 1

Retch on number 2

When four comes around you know that it's all good news

Only buy claret if it's the last goon in the shop

4 litres...

sup the goon

sup it
