Neocon
(Holland/Wasserman/Kriesel/Welty)
We are strong
We are right
We won't be pushed aside
We'll go on
We will fight
We will not comprimise
We will never lose to you
We will never lose to you
We will never lose to you
We will never lose to you
The Noose
(Holland/Wasserman/Kriesel/Welty)
Well our!
Souls are all mistaken in the same misguided way
We all end up forsaken, we're just choosen our own way
The future now incinerates before our very eyes
And leaves us with the emptiness of no more tries
Well our visions of glory have spiraled down
the drain
The best of our intentions come crashing down in flames
The depths of our dispair we are unable to contain
It's shallow living
The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawlin
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
The truth appalling
Our maker comes a calling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
Well the traces from yesteryear are burning
in the dust
Your bruises are reminders of naivete and trust
You're only felling stronger coz your body's gettin numb
Now I lay you down
Put the coins in your eyes
And blow the candles out woahoh
The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawlin
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
The truth appalling
Our maker comes a calling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawlin
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
The truth appalling
Our maker comes a callen
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
No more (no more!)
No more (no more!)
Nothing!
No more (no more!)
No more (no more!)
Ever!
No (no) more!
No (no) more!
The noose is falling
And all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
The truth appalling
Our maker comes a callen
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising
The noose is fallen
And all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling
And enemies are rising!
Long Way Home
(Holland/Wasserman/Kriesel/Welty)
Hey!
I'm driving down a dusty road
Hey!
I've got nowhere to go
Hey!
No place that I can call my own
On and on this road is burning
Break away!
I'm leaving all this crap behind
Break away!
The past is gone the future's blind
Break away!
Don't care how long it takes this time
On and on I'll take the long way home
The long way home
The long way home
If it's for me it's on the way home
Hey!
Like fragments of a broken mind
Hey!
I splinter by my own design
Hey!
The search is not a waste of time
On and on this road keeps burning
Break Away!
My hands are glued upon the wheel
Break Away!
The road ahead is all I feel
Break Away!
The only thing left that's real
On and on I'll take this long way home
The long way home
The long way home
I will go alone
I will go and find it on my own
What lays ahead you cannot find for me
On and on I'll take the long way home
The long way home
The long way home
If it's for me it's on the way home
The long way home
I'll take the long way home
I will go alone
I will go and find it on my own
Hit That
(Holland/Wasserman/Kriesel/Welty)
The winds of fortune
Don't blow the same
She had to get out
And make a change
She had a kid now
But much too young
That baby daddy's out having fun
He's saying
I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know
His baby momma
She ain't so slow
He's saying
I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know
I know you wanna hit that
I know you wanna hit that
All the world is gettin' with, I say
Consequences are a lot, but hey
That's the way it
That's the way things go
What was family
Is now a shell
We're raising kids now
Who raise themselves
Sex is a weapon
And it's like a drug
It gets him right into that grave that he just dug
She's saying
I'm on the run
I'm chasing guys for fun
Her baby daddy
It ain't his only one
She's saying
I'm on the run
I'm chasing guys for fun
I know you wanna hit that
I know you wanna hit that
Everybody's gettin' with, I say
Consequences are a lot, but hey
That's the way it
That's the way things go
Well it winds up
Broken up
Really such a shame
But why not
Take a chance
Everything's a game
And it don't stop
Hooking up
Nothing's gonna change
The more he's trying
The more he's buying
He says
I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know
His baby momma
Don't need to know
He's saying
I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know
I know you wanna hit that
I know you wanna hit that
All the world is gettin' with, I say
Consequences are a lot, but hey
That's the way it
That's the way things go
Race Against Myself
(Holland/Wasserman/Kriesel/Welty)
(I realise)
All I want
All I need
Always lies just out of reach
I've been coming up empty
(I realise)
I've ran as fast
As I can run
I've pushed as hard as anyone
Still there's nothing for me
(And I want)
I've tried as hard as I can
(And I need)
I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall)
But I am running a race
Against myself
Against myself, yeah
(I realise)
Burning out
Strung along
Now my sorrow is my song
My whole world is half-hearted
(I realise)
For my pain
I have none
After all is said and done
Now I'm back where I started
(And I want)
I've gone as far as I can
(And I need)
I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall)
But I am running a race
Against myself
Against myself, yeah
(And I want)
I've tried as hard as I can
(And I need)
I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall)
But I am losing the race
Against myself
Against myself, yeah
Against myself
(Can't Get My) Head Around You
(Holland/Wasserman/Kriesel/Welty)
Deep inside your soul, there's a hole
You don't wanna see
Every single day, what you say
Makes no sense to me
Even though I try
I can't get my head around you
Somewhere in the night, there's a light
In front of me
Heaven up above, with a shove
Abandons me
And even though I try
I fall in the river of you
You manage to bring me down too
All you're faking (Get Up, Get Up, Get Up,
Get Up)
Shows you're aching (Get Up, Get Up, Get Up)
Every single day, what you say
Makes no sense to me
Lettin' you inside, isn't right
Coz you'll mess with me
I never really know
What's really going on inside you
I can't get my head around you
All you're feeding (Get Up, Get Up, Get Up,
Get Up)
Shows you're bleeding (Get Up, Get Up, Get Up)
Deep inside your soul, there's a hole
You don't wanna see
Covering it up, like a cut
With the likes of me
You know I've really tried
I can't do anymore about you
The cut's getting deeper (Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh)
The hill's getting steeper (Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh)
I guess I'll never know
What's really going on inside you
I can't get my head around you
I can't get my head around you
I can't get my head around you
I can't get my head around you
The Worst Hangover Ever
(Holland/Wasserman/Kriesel/Welty)
Ballroom scene,
But the fire underneath,
Gonna eat you alive,
Gonna bring you to you're knees.
Went out drinking late last night,
I had a blast.
But now the morning light has come
and kicked my ass.
I've got the worst hangover ever
I'm crawling to the bathroom again
It hurts so bad that I'm never gonna drink again
And by my seventh shot
I was invincible
I would have never thought
I'd be this miserable
I've got the worst hangover ever
I'm rolling back and forth on the bad
I'm worked so bad that I'm never gonna drink again
Won't someone just kill me
Put me out of my misery
I'm making deals with god
I'll do anything
Make it stop please!
Make it stop please!
Make it stop please!
Make it stop please!
I've got the worst hangover ever
I'm crawling to the bathroom again
It hurts so bad that I'm never gonna drink again
I'll probably never drink again
I may not ever drink again
At least not 'til next weekend
I'm never gonna drink again
Never Gunna Find Me
(Holland/Wasserman/Kriesel/Welty)
Whaoooohoooohooooo
On a mission started by my own admission,
I will leave you all behind.
By direction I'll create my own protection,
The real me you'll never find.
Aspirations turn to fear and desperation,
Nothing's ever good enough for you.
Burn in sorrow 'cause I see theres no tomorrow,
You'll only see what I want you to.
Never gonna find me,
Never gonna find me,
Well, way deep inside there is a real me,
I'm always gonna hide and this is who you'll see.
Never gonna find me,
Never gonna find me,
Well, way deep inside they havent found me yet,
I'm always gonna hide and this is who you'll get.
Whaoooohoooohooooo
On a mission to establish my ???
you may think that you have won.
Your rejection has bought on my introspection,
I'll escape it all and run.
Accusations may destroy my motivation
I can feel it when you're pushing me.
Burn inside cause I see theres no tomorrow,
Only I know which me you'll see.
Never gonna find me,
Never gonna find me,
Well, way deep inside there is a real me,
I'm always gonna hide and this is who you'll see.
Never gonna find me,
Never gonna find me,
Well, way deep inside they havent found me yet,
I'm always gonna hide and this is who you'll get.
Whaoooohoooohooooo
Break away!
Run!
Down inside!
I've got to!
Push it way!
Down!
I did not choose this!
God Dammit!
I don't really now
What I wanna say
I can't afford the throw
Can't make it go away now
Try to make it through
Fuck your decision,
I can't feel myself
But I'm burning up now.
Whaoooohoooohooooo (never gonna find me)
Whaoooohoooohooooo (never gonna find me)
Whaoooohoooohooooo (never gonna)
Whaoooohoooohooooo
Lightning Rod
(Holland/Wasserman/Kriesel/Welty)
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 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
Oh, if they could just teach my dark heart to feel
All I've saved — why
Is thrown away
I am waning
Like the 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
Oh 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
throw me down
throw me down...
It's been raining
And now I will pay
Woe must 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
Oh 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
Spare Me The Details
(Holland/Wasserman/Kriesel/Welty)
My grilfriend, my dumb donut
Went out to a party just the other night
But three hours later and 7 shots of Jager
She was in the bedroom with another guy
And I don't really wanna know
So don't tell me anymore
And I really don't wanna hear
About her feet all up in the air
And well I'm not the one who acted like a
ho
Why must I be the one who has to know
I'm not the one who messed up bigtime
So spare me the details if you don't mind.
Now I can't understand
Friends who want to tell me
Think they're gonna help me open up my eyes
But the play-by-play
Makes me wanna lose it
Every time you do it man it turns the knife.
And I don't really wanna know
So don't tell me anymore
And I really don't wanna hear
About her feet all up in the air
And well I'm not the one who acted like a
ho
Why must I be the one who has to know
I'm not the one who messed up bigtime
So spare me the details if you don't mind.
Now I don't need to hear
About the sounds they we're making
And I don't need to hear
about how long it was taken
Or how the walls they were shaking
Now lying in bed, wallowing in sorrow
Missing the tomorrow that we could've had
Running through my head, over and over
Things I never told her now just make me sad
And it drives me insane
Sitting with the vision
Stuck with that image burned into my brain
And I feel so dumb
That I could ever trust her
While someone else fucked her
Then I walked way
And I don't really wanna know
So don't tell me anymore
And I really don't wanna hear
About her feet all up in the air
And so I'm not the one who acted like a ho
why must I be the one who has to know
I'm not the one who messed up bigtime
So spare me the details if you don't mind.
Coz I don't wanna know...
Da Hui
(Holland/Wasserman/Kriesel/Welty)
I won't fuck with Da Hui
I won't fuck with Da Hui
I won't fuck with Da Hui
Because Da Hui will fuck with me
I won't take off on Da Hui
I won't take off on Da Hui
I won't take off on Da Hui
Because Da Hui will fuck with me
Chorus
A Haole with heart, that's all I'll ever be
Cause I'm not a part of the North Shore society
Stuck on the shoulder, that's where you'll find me
Digging for scraps with the kooks in line!
I won't park next to Da Hui
I won't park next to Da Hui
I won't park next to Da Hui
Because I don't really feel comfortable
Chorus
A Haole with heart, that's all I'll ever be
Cause I'm not a part of the North Shore royalty
Stuck on the shoulder, I'm not complaining
Digging for scraps, I'm a kook in line!
Chorus
Don't fuck with Da Hui
Don't fuck with Da Hui
Don't fuck with Da Hui
Because Da Hui will fuck with you!
When You're In Prison
(Holland/Wasserman/Kriesel/Welty)
When you're in prison, don't turn the other way
Keep your back against the wall
When you're in prison, don't turn the other way
Do not bend at all
Oh don't pick up the soap, pick up the soap
It's bad for you
Oh don't pick up the soap, pick up the soap
Someone will be waiting there for you
When you're in prison be sure to stay awake
Always lie upon your back
When you're in prison be sure to stay awake
Keep you from attack
Oh don't be no one's bitch, be no one's bitch
It's bad for you
Oh don't be no one's bitch, be no one's bitch
They won't help you make it through.
When you're in prison, don't turn the other
way
Follow what I say to do.
When you're in prison, don't turn the other
way
You can make it through
You can make it through
You can make it through
