Virgo30's blog: "Lyrics"

With music by our side To break the color lines Let's work together To improve our way of life Join voices in protest To social injustice A generation full of courage Come forth with me People of the world today Are we looking for a better way of life We are a part of the rhythm nation People of the world unite Strength in numbers we can get it right One time We are a part of the rhythm nation This is the test No struggle no progress Lend a hand to help Your brother do his best Things are getting worse We have to make them better It's time to give a damn Let's work together come on People of the world today Are we looking for a better way of life We are a part of the rhythm nation People of the world unite Strength in numbers we can get it right One time We are a part of the rhythm nation

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky Confusing stars for satellites I never dreamed that you'd be mine But here we are, we're here tonight Singing Amen, I, I'm alive Singing Amen, I, I'm alive [Chorus:] If everyone cared and nobody cried If everyone loved and nobody lied If everyone shared and swallowed their pride Then we'd see the day when nobody died And I'm singing Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive And in the air the fireflies Our only light in paradise We'll show the world they were wrong And teach them all to sing along Singing Amen, I, I'm alive Singing Amen, I, I'm alive (I'm alive) [Chorus x2] And as we lie beneath the stars We realize how small we are If they could love like you and me Imagine what the world could be If everyone cared and nobody cried If everyone loved and nobody lied If everyone shared and swallowed their pride Then we'd see the day when nobody died When nobody died... [Chorus] We'd see the day, we'd see the day When nobody died We'd see the day, we'd see the day When nobody died We'd see the day when nobody died

Uncle Sam taught him to shoot Maybe a little too well Finger on the trigger, loaded bullet He hit the stage so full of rage And let the whole world know it Six feet away, they heard him say "Oh God, don't let him pull it" Please God, don't let him pull it How could you put us through it? His brother watched you do it How could you take his life away? (What made you think u had the right?) How could you be so full of hate? (To take away somebody's life) And when I heard you let him die And made the world all wonder why I sat at home and on my own, I cried alone And scratched your name On the side of a bullet And in the wake of his mistake So many lives are broken Gone forever from a loaded bullet And no excuse that you could use Could pull somebody through it And to this day so many say "God why'd you let him do it?" How could you let him do it? How could you put us through it? His brother watched him do it How could you take his life away? (What made you think u had the right?) How could you be so full of hate? (To take away somebody's life) And when I heard you let him die And made the world all wonder why I sat at home and cried alone and on my own I scratched your name On the side of a bullet [X3]

I judge by what she's wearing Just how many heads I'm tearing Off of assholes coming on to her Each night seems like it's getting worse And I wish she'd take the night off So I don't have to fight off Every asshole coming on to her It happens every night she works They'll go and ask the DJ Find out just what would she say If they all tried coming on to her Don't they know it's never going to work They think they'll get inside her With every drink they buy her As they all try coming on to her This time somebody's getting hurt Here comes the next contestant [CHORUS] Is that your hand on my girlfriend? Is that your hand? I wish you'd do it again I'll watch you leave here limping I wish you'd do it again I'll watch you leave here limping There goes the next contestant I even fear the ladies They're cool but twice as crazy Just as bad for coming on to her Don't they know it's never going to work Each time she bats an eyelash Somebody's grabbing her ass Everyone keeps coming on to her This time somebody's getting hurt Here comes the next contestant [CHORUS] I'm hating what she's wearing Everybody here keeps staring Can't wait 'til they get what they deserve This time somebody's getting hurt Here comes the next contestant [CHORUS] I wish you'd do it again Each night seems like it's getting worse I wish you'd do it again This time somebody's getting hurt There goes the next contestant

This time, This place Misused, Mistakes Too long, Too late Who was I to make you wait Just one chance Just one breath Just in case there's just one left 'Cause you know, you know, you know [CHORUS] That I love you I have loved you all along And I miss you Been far away for far too long I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore On my knees, I'll ask Last chance for one last dance 'Cause with you, I'd withstand All of hell to hold your hand I'd give it all I'd give for us Give anything but I won't give up 'Cause you know, you know, you know [CHORUS] So far away Been far away for far too long So far away Been far away for far too long But you know, you know, you know I wanted I wanted you to stay 'Cause I needed I need to hear you say That I love you I have loved you all along And I forgive you For being away for far too long So keep breathing 'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore Believe it Hold on to me and, never let me go Keep breathing 'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore Believe it Hold on to me and, never let me go Keep breathing Hold on to me and, never let me go Keep breathing Hold on to me and, never let me go

Prison gates won't open up for me On these hands and knees I'm crawlin' Oh, I reach for you Well I'm terrified of these four walls These iron bars can't hold my soul in All I need is you Come please I'm callin' And oh I scream for you Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin' [Chorus:] Show me what it's like To be the last one standing And teach me wrong from right And I'll show you what I can be Say it for me Say it to me And I'll leave this life behind me Say it if it's worth saving me Heaven's gates won't open up for me With these broken wings I'm fallin' And all I see is you These city walls ain't got no love for me I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story And oh I scream for you Come please I'm callin' And all I need from you Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin' [Chorus] Hurry I'm fallin' All I need is you Come please I'm callin' And oh, I scream for you Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin', I'm fallin' [Chorus] Hurry I'm fallin'

Look at this photograph Everytime I do it makes me laugh How did our eyes get so red And what the hell is on Joey's head And this is where I grew up I think the present owner fixed it up I never knew we'd ever went without The second floor is hard for sneaking out And this is where I went to school Most of the time had better things to do Criminal record says I broke in twice I must have done it half a dozen times I wonder if It's too late Should i go back and try to graduate Life's better now then it was back then If I was them I wouldn't let me in Oh oh oh Oh god I Every memory of looking out the back door I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor It's hard to say it, time to say it Goodbye, goodbye Every memory of walking out the front door I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for It's hard to say it, time to say it Goodbye, goodbye Remember the old arcade Blew every dollar that we ever made The cops hated us hangin' out They say somebody went and burned it down We used to listen to the radio And sing along with every song we know We said someday we'd find out how it feels To sing to more than just the steering wheel Kim's the first girl I kissed I was so nervous that I nearly missed She's had a couple of kids since then I haven't seen her since god knows when Oh oh oh Oh god I Every memory of looking out the back door I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor It's hard to say it, time to say it Goodbye, goodbye Every memory of walking out the front door I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for It's hard to say it, time to say it Goodbye, goodbye I miss that town I miss the faces You can't erase You can't replace it I miss it now I can't believe it So hard to stay Too hard to leave it If I could I relive those days I know the one thing that would never change Every memory of looking out the back door I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor It's hard to say it, time to say it Goodbye, goodbye Every memory of walking out the front door I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for It's hard to say it, time to say it Goodbye, goodbye Look at this photograph Everytime I do it makes me laugh Everytime I do it makes me

Well I wanted you I wanted no one else I thought it through I got you to myself You got off Every time you got on to me I got caught up In favorable slavery Was it wrong? Was it wrong? [CHORUS:] I guess it wasn't really right I guess it wasn't meant to be It didn't matter what they said 'Cause we were good in bed I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight for all the wrong reasons No, it didn't matter what I tried It's just a little hard to leave When you're going down on me I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight for all the wrong reasons Well you know my friends Well they know your enemies I'd pretend Not to hear what they said to me 'Cause I got off Every time you got on to me Was it wrong To go along with insanity? Was it wrong? Was it wrong? [CHORUS] [x4] I guess it wasn't what I wanted Wasn't really what I thought Thought it was the day I got I want it all to go away(x4) [CHORUS]

Well you can dig me up a grave And try and stick me in the ground Well you can tie me to the bed And try and beat me half to death But you can never keep me down Well you can stick me in a hole And you can pray all day for rain You can shoot me in the leg Just to try to make me beg And you can leave me there for days [CHORUS] And I'll stay alive Just to follow you home And I will survive 'Cause you're my Mississippi Princess You're my California Queen Like the Duchess of Detroit And every city in between You can slap me in the face You can scream profanity Leave me here to die alone but I'll still follow you home I'll still follow you home You can make a couple calls And tell your brothers I'm in town Put a bounty on my head And tell my parents that I'm dead And hope to hell I'm never found You can steal me the keys To your daddy's Cadillac You can tamper with the brakes Call it a mistake And pray I'm never coming back [CHORUS] You can dig me up a grave And try and stick me in the ground You can tie me to the bed And try and beat me half to death But you can never keep me down And I will survive 'Cause you're my Mississippi Princess You're my California Queen Like the Duchess of Detroit And every city in between You can slap me in the face You can scream profanity Leave me here to die alone but I'll still follow you home I'll still follow you home

I saw you fade Was it a dream? The sooner have I tried to touch you Slowly you disappear. How to go on? You'll never let me down again. Hard to go on I'll never be the one to blame. Before Floating in to your room To see What is inside, Consequentially doomed My peace is out of sight, Can't stay away, Can't stay away from you. Can't stay away, Can't stay away from you. How to go on? You'll never let me down again Hard to go on I'll never be the one to blame. Before Floating in your room To see What is inside, Consequentially doomed My peace is out of sight. Can't stay away, Can't stay away from you. Can't stay away, Can't stay away from you. I can't stay away Whatever I feel you Whenever you keep coming through No matter I miss you. Whatever Can't stay away from you. Can't stay away, Can't stay away from you..
