The Anthem:

Yeah
Here we go!

It's a new day
But it all feels old
It's a good life
That's what I'm told
But everything
It all just feels the same

And my high school
It felt more to me
Like a jail cell
A penitentiary
My time spent there
It only made me see

That I don't ever wanna be like you
I don't wanna do the things you do
I'm never gonna hear the words you say
And I don't ever wanna
I don't ever wanna be you

Don't wanna be just like you
what I'm saying is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
You
Don't wanna be you

"Go to college
A university
Get a real job"
That's what they said to me
But I could never live the way they want

I'm gonna get by
And just do my time
Out of step while
They all get in line
I'm just a minor threat so pay no mind

Do you really wanna be like them
Do you really wanna be another trend
Do you wanna be part of that crowd
Cause I don't ever wanna
I don't ever wanna be you

Don't wanna be just like you
what I'm saying is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
You
Don't wanna be you

Shake it once
That's fine
Shake it twice
That's okay
Shake it three times
You're playing with yourself again

You
Don't wanna be just like you
what I'm saying is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
Y'all all got to feel me
Sing if you're with me

Another loser anthem
[Whoa]
Another loser anthem
[Whoa]
Another loser anthem
[Whoa]
Another loser anthem

Lifestyles of The Rich and Famous:

Always see it on TV
Or read it in the magazines
Celebrities who want sympathy
All they do is piss and moan
Inside the rolling stone
Talking about
How hard life can
Be

I'd like to see them spend a week
Living life out on the street
I don't think they would survive
If they could spend a day or two
Walking in someone else's shoes
I think they'd stumble and they'd fall
They would fall...
(fall----)

Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous
They're always complainin'
Always complainin'
If money is such a problem
Well they got mansions
Think we should rob them

Did you know if you were famous
You could kill you're wife
And there's no such thing as 25 to life
As long as you've got the cash to pay for Cochran
Did you know if you were caught
And you were smoking crack
McDonalds wouldn't even wanna take you back
You could always just run for mayor of D.C

I'd like to see them spend a week
Living life out on the street
I don't think they would survive
If they could spend a day or two
Walking in someone else's shoes
I think they'd stumble and they'd fall
They would fall

Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous
They're always complainin'
Always complainin'
If money is such a problem
Well they got mansions
Think we should rob them
(Rob them)
(Rob them)

They would fall(they would fall)
They would fall----

Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous
They're always complainin'
Always complainin'
If money is such a problem
We've got so many problems
Think I can solve them

Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous
We'll take your clothes, cash, cars and homes
Just stop complainin'

Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous

Girls and Boys:

Educated
With money
He's well dressed
Not funny
And not much to say in
Most conversations
But he'll foot the bill in
All situations

Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny

Of her favorite things

Always comes with a fee
Hey, now, there's nothing for free

Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny
And these girls like these boys like these boys like these girls
The girls with the bodies like boys with Ferraris
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money

Let's go!
Eh, eh!

Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money
Boys will laugh at girls when they're not funny
And these girls like these boys like these boys like these girls
The girls with the bodies like boys with Ferraris
Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money

All of these boys, yeah get all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world
All of these boys, yeah get all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world

Hold On:

This world, this world is cold
But you don't, you don't have to go
You're feeling sad, you're feeling lonely
And no one seems to care
Your mother's gone and your father hits you
This pain you cannot bear

But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through

Hold on, if you feel like letting go
Hold on, it gets better than you know

Your days, you say they're way too long
And your nights, you can't sleep at all
Hold on
And you're not sure what you're waiting for
But you don't want to no more
You're not sure what you're looking for
But you don't want to no more

But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through

Hold on, if you feel like letting go
Hold on, it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking you're one step closer
Don't stop searching it's not over
Hold on

What are you looking for?
What are you waiting for?
Do you know what you're doing to me?
Go ahead...what are you waiting for?

Hold on, if you feel like letting go
Hold on, it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking you're one step closer
Don't stop searching it's not over

Hold on, if you feel like letting go
Hold on, it gets better than you know
Hold on

The Chronicles Of Life and Death:

You come in cold,
Your covered in blood.
They're all so happy you've arrived.
The doctor cuts your cord.
Hands you to your mom.
She sets you free into this life.
And where do you go with no destination, no map to guide you.
Wouldn't you know that it doesn't matter, we all end up the same.

[Chorus:]
These are the chronicles of life and death and everything between.
These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem.
You come in this world, and you go out just the same.
Today could be the best day of your life.

[Verse 2:]
And money talks in this world, thats what idiots will say.
but you'll find out that this world is just an idiots parade.
Before you go, you've got some questions.
And you want answers.
But now your old, cold, covered in blood, right back to where you started from.

[Chorus:]
These are the chronicles of life and death and everything between.
These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem.
You come in this world, and you go out just the same.
Today could be the worst day of your life.


[Chorus:]
But these are the chronicles of life and death and everything between.
These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem.
You come in this world, and you go out just the same.
Today could be the best day of,
Today could be the worst day of,
Today could be the last day of your life.
It's your life, your life.

Walk Away (Maybe):

I made this bed
I choose to lie in it
And live with my regrets
And sleep with what I said
Could this be the end
Am I standing on the edge
Of everything I wanted now

I was afraid
I was afraid

Well maybe I'm just scared
To face the things I fear
It's easier to walk away from everything

Separate my soul
With all the things we shared
I'm falling to pieces now
Say a prayer for me (say a prayer for me)
When you go to bed ('cause)
I'm in need of your faith now

I was afraid

Well maybe I'm just scared
To face the things I fear
It's easier to walk away from everything
If we could just re-set
And live in happiness
Instead of our regrets
We'd salvage everything
We don't have to walk away

Pray for me now
I'm in need of faith
Pray for me now
I'm in need

And maybe I'm just scared
To face the things I feared
It's easier to walk away from everything
If we could just re-set
And live in happiness
Instead of our regrets
We'd salvage everything

And maybe I'm just scared
To face the things I failed
It's easier to walk away from everything
Walk away from everything
Walk away from everything

S.O.S.:

Is anybody listening?
Can they hear me when I call?
I'm shooting signals in the air,
'Cause I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own,
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening, listening?

I've been stranded here and I'm miles away
Making signals hoping they save me
I lock myself inside these walls
'Cause out there I'm always wrong
I don't think I'm gonna make it
So while I'm sitting here on the eve of my defeat
I write this letter and hope it saves me

[chorus:]
Is anybody listening?
Can they hear me when I call?
I'm shooting signals in the air
'Cause I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
So I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening, listening?

I'm stuck in my own head and I'm oceans away
Would anybody notice if I chose to stay?
I'll send an S.O.S. tonight
And wonder if I will survive
How in the hell did I get so far away this time?
So now I'm sitting here
The time of my departure's near
I say a prayer please, someone save me

[chorus]

[bridge:]
I'm lost here
I can't make it on my own
I don't wanna die alone
I'm so scared
Drowning now
Reaching out
Holding on to everything I love
Crying out
Dying now
Need some help

Is anybody listening?
Can they hear me when I call?
Shooting signals in the air
I need somebody's help
I can't make it on my own
I'm giving up myself
Is anybody listening?

I Just Wanna Live:

I need an alarm system in my house
So I know when people are
Creepin' about
These people are
Freaking me out (these days)

It’s gettin' hectic everywhere that I go
They won’t leave me alone
There’s things they all wanna know
I'm paranoid of all the people I meet
Why are they talking to me?
And why can’t anyone see

I just wanna live
Don’t really care about the things that they say
Don’t really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live
Just wanna live [x6]

I rock a
Lawsuit when I’m going to court
A white suit when I’m gettin’ divorced
A black suit at the funeral home
And my birthday suit when I’m home alone
Talkin’ on the phone
Got an interview
With the Rolling Stone
They’re saying
“Now you’re rich and
Now you’re famous
Fake ass girls all know your names and
"Lifestyles" of the rich and famous
your first hit aren’t you ashamed?”
Of the life, Of the life,
Of the life we’re livin’

I just wanna live
Don’t really care about the things that they say
Don’t really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live

Stop your messin’ around boy
Better think o' your future
Better make some good plans boy
Said everyone of my teachers

Lookout
You better play it safe
You never know what hard times will come your way
We say
Where we’re coming from
We’ve already seen
The worst that this life can bring

Now we expect it everywhere that we go
All the things that they say
Yeah we already know

I just wanna live
Don’t really care about the things that they say
Don’t really care about what happens to me
(Just wanna live [x3)

I just wanna live
Just wanna live [x3]
I Just wanna live
Just wanna live [x3]
Don’t really care about the things that they say
(Just wanna live [x3])
Don't really care about what happens to me

I just wanna live

Ghost Of You:

And I will wait until the end
When the pendulum will swing back to the darker side of our hearts bleeding
I will save this empty space next to me like it's a grave
Where I lay a place for us to sleep eternally together
I have been searching for traces of what we were

A ghost of you is all that I have left
It's all that I have left of you to hold
I wake in the night to find there's no one there but me
And nothing left of what we were at all

So here I am pacing around this house again
With pictures of us living on these walls
I see my breath in the cold of the air that I breathe and I'm wondering
I'm wondering if it's you that I feel
If it's you that I feel here haunting me forever
I have been searching for traces of what we were
A ghost of you is all that I have left
It's all that I have left of you to hold
I wake in the night to find there's no one there but me
And nothing left of what we were at all

And I'm not looking for anything but us
Anything but what we were
And I'm not asking for painted memories
I only want to know you're here
A ghost of you is all that I have left
It's all that I have left of you to hold
I wake in the night to find there's no one there but me
And nothing left of what we were at all x2

Predictable:

Something isn't right
I can feel it again feel it again
This isn't the first time
That you left me waiting
Sad excuses and false hopes high
I saw this coming still I don't know why
I let you in

I knew it all along
You're so predictable
I knew something would go wrong (something's always wrong)
So you don't have to call
Or say anything at all
So predictable (so predictable)

So take your empty words your broken promises
And all the time you stole cause I am done with this
I can give it away give it away
I'm doin everything I should've
And now I'm makin a change
I'm living the day
I'm giving back what you gave me
I don't need anything

I knew it all along
You're so predictable
I knew something would go wrong (something's always wrong)
So you don't have to call
Or say anything at all
So predictable (so predictable)

Everywhere I go
Everyone I meet
Every time I try to fall in love
They all want to know why I'm so broken
Why am I so cold
Why I'm so hard inside.
Why am I scared
What am I afraid of
I don't even know
This story's never had an end
I've been waiting
I've been searching
I've been hoping
I've been dreaming you would come back
But I know the ending of this story
You're never coming back
Never..never..never..never.....[echo].....

I knew it all along
You're so predictable
I knew something would go wrong (something's always wrong)
So you don't have to call
Or say anything at all
So predictable (so predictable)

Everywhere I go for the rest of my life (so predictable)
Everyone that I love
Everyone I care about
They're all gonna wanna know what's wrong with me (so predictable)
And I know what it is
I'm ending this right now..

Secrets:

In the dark
In the darkness you will find
Dirty little secrets we all hide
Cause we all have a darker side
A place we keep where no one else will find

Cause everybody wants to hide their secrets away
Nobody wants to stand up to the pain
But I will...

Stand up to the pain
Wake up and fight again
If you could
Dance with me through this rain
We will fight
We'll fight again
Fight again

In the back
In the closets of your mind
That's where skeletons and dirty secrets hide
And I'll rip out my insides
And leave them on display for you tonight

Cause everybody wants to hide their secrets away
Nobody wants to stand up to the pain
But I will...

Stand up to the pain
Wake up and fight again
If you could
Dance with me through this rain
We will fight
We'll fight again
Fight again
(Fight again)

All my life I hide my secrets away
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark

We all try to hide our secrets away
In the dark
In the dark
In the dark

Stand up to the pain
Wake up and fight again
If you could
Dance with me through this rain
We will fight
We'll fight again
Fight again
Fight again

Cause everybody wants to hide their secrets away
And that's okay
Nobody wants to stand up to the pain
And fight again

The Truth:

So here we are
We are alone
There’s weight on your mind
And I wanna know
The truth, if this is how you feel
Say it to me
If this was ever real

I want the truth from you
Give me the truth, even if it hurts me
I want the truth from you
Give me the truth, even if it hurts me
I want the truth

So this is you
You're talking to me
You found a million ways to let me down
So I'm not hurt when you're not around
I was blind
But now I see
This is how you feel
Just say it to me
If this was ever real

I want the truth from you
Give me the truth, even if it hurts me
I want the truth from you
Give me the truth, even if it hurts me

I know that this will break me
I know that this might make me cry
You gotta say what’s on your mind, on your mind
I know that this will hurt me
'n' Break my heart and soul inside
But I don’t wanna live this lie

I want the truth from you
Give me the truth, even if it hurts me
I want the truth from you
Give me the truth, even if it hurts
I don’t care no more, no
Just give me the truth, give me the truth
Cause I don’t care no more
Give me the truth
Cause I don’t care no more, no
Just give me the truth
Give me the truth
Give me the truth
Give me the truth
Give me the truth
Cause I don’t care no more, no

The World Is Black:

Turn on channel seven at a quarter to eight
You see the same damn thing
It's just a different day
And no one really knows why this is happening
But it's happening

And everywhere you go it's just a different place
You get the same dark feeling
See the same sad faces
No one really cares that this is happening

We come into this world
And we are all the same
And in that moment there's no one to blame

But the world is black
And hearts are cold
And there's no hope
That's what we're told
And we can't go back
It won't be the same
Forever changed
By the things we've seen (seen)

Living in this place
It's always been this way
There's no one doing nothing
So there's nothing changed
And I can't live when this world
Just keeps dying
It's dying
People always tell me, this is part of the plan
That God's got everybody in his hands
But I can only pray that God is listening
Is he listening?

But living in this world
Growing colder everyday
Nothing can stay perfect
Now I see

but The world is black
And hearts are cold
And there's no hope
That's what we're told
And we can't go back
It won't be the same
Forever change
By the things we've seen (seen, seen)

We come into this world
And we are all the same
And in that moment there's no one to blame

But we're living in this world
Growing colder everyday
Nothing can stay perfect
Now I see

The world is black
And hearts are cold
And there's no hope
That's what we're told
And we can't go back
It won't be the same
Forever change
By the things we've seen (seen, seen)

Turn on channel seven at a quarter to eight
You see the same damn thing it's just a different day
And no one really knows why this is happening.....

Mountain:

Whoa

All these dreams and all these plans
I built them all with these two hands
Everything, I’ve realized my dreams
The city lights shine down and they blind me sometimes
But through it all
I was lost but I found my way

So tell me what you want
Cause I would give you anything
Tell me what you need and I’ll go get it
I’d give up all these dreams
To have you in my arms right now
I’d give up everything and I’d forget it

I wasn't on a mountain
When it came to me
All my life’s been wasted
Chasing shallow dreams

So here we are
Let me lift you up and show you this world over me
And all these things
What I've gained
And what I've seen
It can’t compare
To the love that you could give to me

So tell me what you want
Cause I would give you anything
Tell me what you need and I’ll go get it
I’d give up all these dreams
To have you in my arms right now
I’d give up everything and I’d forget it

I wasn't on a mountain
When it came to me
All my life’s been wasted
Chasing shallow dreams

Years go by and nothing’s slowing down the time
Years go by and then they’re wasted
All this time
I thought that I gained everything
If you’re not mine, I’m so empty

I wasn't on a mountain
When it came, when it came to me
That all my life’s been wasted
Chasing shallow dreams

So please come back to me
I'm right here waiting
So please come back to me now

We Belive:

There’s a woman crying out tonight
Her world has changed
She asks God why
Her only son has died
And now her daughter cries
She can’t sleep at night

Downtown another day for all the suits and ties
Another war to fight
There’s no regard for life
How do they sleep at night
How can we make things right
Just wanna make this right

We believe(x6)
In this love

We are all the same
Human in all our ways and all our pain
(So let it be)
There’s a love that could fall down like rain
(Let us see)
Let forgiveness wash away the pain
(What we need)
And no one really knows what they are searching for
(We believe)
This world is crying for so much more

We believe(x6)
In this love

We believe(x5)
In this love

So this world is too much for you to take
Just lay it down and follow me
I’ll be everything you need
In every way

We believe(x6)
In this love

In this love
We believe
In this love
We believe
In this love
We believe
In this love

It Wasn't Enough:

It wasn’t enough
It wasn’t enough
It wasn’t enough

I would try to believe
In the things I cannot see
But my faith is shaken now
Like it’s never been before
When I call and you don’t come
I don’t know what I should do
Should I call?
Should I even count on you?

I’ve given all I can
It wasn’t enough
To keep you in my hands
Should I give up?
I try to understand
Was it ever enough?
I don’t understand

So here I am once again
With my back against the wall
Afraid to show you
Afraid to tell you
That I don’t know you like I did
I’ve never been so alone
I’ve never felt so insecure
And now I don’t know where I’m going
In my life I’m not so sure

I’ve given all I can
It wasn’t enough
To keep you in my hands
Should I give up?
I try to understand
Was it ever enough?
I don’t understand

Giving up tonight
I won't let go, won’t let go of you
Giving up tonight
I wanna show you, wanna show you
Giving up tonight
I won't let go, won’t let go of you
Giving up tonight
Am I giving up, giving up?
I don’t wanna give this up, I won't

I’ve given all I can
It wasn’t enough
To keep you in my hands
Should I give up?
I try to understand
Was it ever enough?
I don’t understand

Everything you want from me
I've fought so hard for everything
Everything you want from me
I've tried so hard, could never be
Anything you want from me
Anything you want from me
Anything you want from me
I gave it all

In This World (Murder):

In this world all our sins are simple
We choose death over innocent life
And in this world it’s not all the money that’s evil
It’s the ones who choose it over life
And in my heart I cannot believe in this murder
And I will not be fed by the lies
All the lives are created just to be murdered, it’s murder

No matter how hard they try
And no matter how loud they cry
They can’t buy their way into heaven
No matter how hard they try
And no matter how high they climb up the ladder
They won’t reach up into heaven

And they can't see the innocent lives
The poor and the suffering
And in my heart I want to undo all this murder
And get back the innocent lives
Open cages and stop their luxurious murder, it’s murder

No matter how hard they try
And no matter how loud they cry
They can’t buy their way into heaven
No matter how hard they try
And no matter how high they climb up the ladder
They won’t reach up into heaven

Murder
Innocent life
Innocent
What have we done?
(No mercy for beautiful
Money for blood
It's murder)

No matter how hard they try
And no matter how loud they cry
They can’t buy their way into heaven
No matter how hard they try
And no matter how high they climb up the ladder
They won’t reach up into heaven

No matter how hard they try
And no matter how loud they cry
They can’t buy their way into heaven
No matter how hard they try
And no matter how high they climb up the ladder
They won’t reach up into heaven, heaven, heaven

Meet My Maker:

This is where I'll
meet my maker tonight

So this is it
This is my life
This is my time
It's ending tonight
I made my mistakes
I tried to live right
Stepped out of the darkness
into the light
And when I'm gone
Will they remember
Will they mourn
Will they move on
When my sad songs
for lonely son
His time has come
his life is done

And tonight
We'll celebrate the end
Of this life
And we'll sing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Whhooaa aaooohh

With open arms
This is the way
The way I'll

And on my grave
What will it say?
Here lies another soul
that was saved
So please don't cry
Just sleep at night
And I will wait on the other side

And tonight

Of this life
And we'll sing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Whooaahh ooohhh
