*Blinded by the light You used to be a great person but lately you haven't been yourself You used to want to change the world make it better for everyone else So quick to criticize, to see right through the lies But you don't seem to care anymore... You've been blinded by the light, lost grasp of what is right You're blinded by the light, and you're no longer wise. What happened to the questioning, what'd you do with the second doubts? I used to think that you were in, but lately you've been out We had our own ideals, decided what was real But you've thrown that away... You've been blinded by the light, lost grasp of what is right You're blinded by the light, and you're no longer wise. I used to think that the lines were clearly drawn But you crossed over and I think that I was wrong Lately I've been feeling like I don't know what to believe I hate to see things fall apart like they did when you ditched me You've been blinded by the light, lost grasp of what is right You're blinded by the light, and you're no longer wise. Back to list *Whipping boy he distinguishes himself with large cranial capacity and his philosophy is chock full of audacity but he is immune to the very human faults which seem to be the plague and weakness of us all But when he gets near a really hot chick, his brain loses control, it goes straight to his dick. He's the whipping boy..he's their favorite toy. Back to list *The One She is the one She is the one for me Always there She’s always there for me I look to the left And I look to the right Never she her ‘cause she’s always on my side she’s so smart and knows just what to do the only thing you don’t know is I wanna be with you She is the one She is the one for me Always there She’s always there for me You are so far you are so far away You are so far you are so far away Back to list *Napalm Love it or leave it, well I don’t believe it, and I can’t bring myself to try. I don’t know if I can bring myself to kill a man, but I know I don’t want to die. It’s the shame and the humility that have brought me here. Because above death, it’s the embarrassment that I fear. What have I done to what I used to think? Standing eye to eye, but I’m first to blink. Thought I could bring myself to hop in the car and run. But I couldn’t, and now I’m holding a gun. The guy across the way is fighting so he can say that he can do whatever he wants. Meanwhile I’m fighting for a general who thinks war is a hobby and declares it for fun. It’s hard to follow orders when you don’t know where they lead. Is this a cause worth fighting for, am I willing to bleed? What have I done to what I used to think? Standing eye to eye, but I’m first to blink. Thought I could bring myself to hop in the car and run. But I couldn’t, and now I’m holding a gun. You’re fighting for them. Are they fighting for you? When you came back, did you expect to find A world that knowingly left you behind? Did you want to be left on your own When the way clearly needs to be shown? You’re fighting for them. Are they fighting for you? What have I done to what I used to think? Standing eye to eye, but I’m first to blink. Thought I could bring myself to hop in the car and run. But I couldn’t, and now I’m holding a gun. Back to list *Shot in the Dark ask Eric, I can't decipher them Back to list *Common Ground Do we really have to play this game? (no) Do we really have to point the blame? Does it really matter who's at fault? Have you heard anything i've said at all? These stupid things keep drawing us further from each other Each day we become more of enemies and less of brothers. I'll admit that this time you were right If it will help us to end this fight Can't you admit when you are wrong? How have we let this go on for so long? (These stupid things.....) I've searched and searched for some common ground But i'm becoming convinced that it can't be found If we could set aside our problems for just one day I'm sure we would both be happier that way. I hope the finger pointing has become a bore because seeing you is now quite a chore I'd appreciate if we could find some understanding I don't think that's being too demanding Do we really have to be ashamed of the fact that we share a last name? And i just say i'll leave you be, can I expect you'll do the same for me? (I've searched....) Back to list *Greedy Every time I go downtown I see those things, they're all around I want them oh so bad I wish I could, I wish I had Money to spend and time to spare I'd pick it up here and there I'm so greedy, I don't care On the shelf, buy that there I don't want to spend my money on that CD Live forever in my house all for free 1, 2, 3, 4! Buy me a spork, buy me a knife Buy me a whole new life Back to list *Feet on the ground This is my green light to become me I won't mirror your stereotypes, I'll be who I wanna be I gotta stand out from the crowd, not be another plastic teen When I look back, I'll like what I've done, where I've been and what I've seen Yeah..........whoa-oh..... I realize I could accumulate material wealth But I'll spend my time increasing (my) mental health Don't surround me with plastic kids blabbing about Hollywood hype Just leave my choices up to me, cuz I know who's my type Yeah..........whoa-oh..... To me it's not important I know I'll forget it I'll ignore your marketing, cuz I don't care I don't care Toys will break and trends will change But I don't find that very strange And when MTV says goodbye I know for one that I won't cry Cuz I've kept my feet on the ground.... Back to list *Redemption Alone in a corner, in a desk all by himself Isolated with his thoughts and no one else Alone with his feelings as he watches and observes He knows he could break out if he just had the nerve Here we go now....pick it up.... Back to list *Shattered no one ever took the time to help him see his worth mother never cared and father left him shortly after birth he hangs in the back yard after school playing with his toys dreaming he will blow away all the little girls and boys The time has now come and the tables have turned He’s been scolded for years now its their time to burn A little attention is all that he needs and now he will get it on nation TV He sick of every body thinking their better Not trying to get along or coming to together It wasn’t caused by the music or video games But no one willing to treat him the same Now everyone’s sorry that’s they treated him like dirt Where were their second doubt when his feelings were being hurt Contrite for the camera when sympathy’s to be earned They’ll revert to their old ways no lessons being learned Back to list *Wax 7 An obligation I don't need An expectation I couldn't meet I'm stagnating and having a good time I've got free time on my hands But I'm not making any plans And I'm glad that my life's now mine I may be going nowhere But at least I'm taking my time There's nothing that I have to do Now I can always be with you And we can do whatever we please I won't spend another day Doing something that I hate Instead, we'll bring the world to its knees I may be going nowhere But at least I'm taking my time Back to list *Metal With a Hat You have nothing that I need You can fake your own greed You got nothing, you got nothing on me What I want, to take it out on you You are nothing When I look into your eyes, I see nothing, nothing but lies Lies! (here's the rough translation of what we're saying in the bridge) I'm the grandson of the devil I'm the face of bad luck I've come here to do bad stuff to your friends and eat your dogs Devil...face...Dogs!! Back to list *Masterplan I need a quiet place to collect my thoughts all the choices i've made and the chances i've lost I was a slave to my urges that you can bet but all my life i've lived with no regrets... all that i wanted to be seems impossible, but that's fine with me i've lost all my ambition but that's old news, now i'm on a new mission Look in the mirror, can't help but laugh Teeth covered in yellow, eyes an ugly shade of black But appearances are not a big deal to me Cuz ideals are more important than your niche in society. Deviation from the master plan supposed to hurt me, instead i emerge a stronger man complete trust in myself no ideals from a book, a zine or anything else Back to list *20 Questions Standing outside the Midnight Sun My socks are soaked but I'm having fun The show hasn't even begun The rain won't cease to fall I won't cease having a ball In that moment, I have it all All I ever could need Don't have to follow, I can lead The course of my life And it's looking great I know when we step on stage I won't be asked to act my age I can do what I want and it feels great 20 questions you're asking me And I wonder why can't you see The answer in front of your face Asking me about my plans When I'll learn to be a man But right now I don't want to leave this place As we begin to play the show I don't think about tomorrow And I don't wanna know What the coming day will bring Right now what I wanna do is sing Not hear wedding bells ring My guitar is out of tune My voice sounds like a loon And things couldn't be going better tonight Nobody wants to see us play They're pissed we made them pay And I'm beginning to sense a fight 20 questions you're asking me And I wonder why can't you see The answer in front of your face Asking me about my plans When I'll learn to be a man But right now I don't want to leave this place (20 questions you're asking me.....) Back to list *Obliterated I know I'm not the only one who's trying my best to play this game And I'd like to think that I've got something different, that makes me seem like i'm not the same I know it's obvious I'm nothing special, but I think I'm worth another view And I'm positive that I can treat you better than all those others eyeing you Your charm and humility belie your standing on a higher level, While the rest of us bring each other down to try to make you feel special. You could go and play by your own rules. And none of us would try to stop you. I could go on for days and days about your looks and qualities And you would never be convinced that what I say is accurate in the least I hope that we could go and talk for hours if only I wasn't so tongue tied And maybe you'd find a place for me where I could stand right by your side Once again, I'm obliterated by your smile As always, it was completely worth my while Back to list *From Day One From day one, I was pushed to do my best, get the highest grades I look ahead and see that's not the road I want to pave I stay up until morning holding my future in my hands As I strum this guitar, I see my future lies in this band 9 to 5, that's not what I call a life I gotta break out, be happy and thrive It's time to escape your rules and your plans It's time to live my life and be my own man I feel like I'm living someone else's dream Do they to live their lives vicariously through me? I find escape in these 6 strings and these 4 chords I know that I could never ask for, for anything more. 9 to 5, that's not what I call a life I gotta break out, be happy and thrive It's time to escape your rules and your plans It's time to live my life and be my own man You've run my life for long enough, now I'm taking back what's mine When I set my rules and follow my hear, I know I'll do just fine May not save the world or get the girl, but I know I'll find true bliss And when I look back, with a big laugh, I won't regret what I may have missed (chorus) Back to list *Inspiration Strikes Back Another perfect day, not a cloud in the sky I can't say those words, I couldn't explain why Opportunity knocks, I get lost in her smile I turn on the charm but don't go the extra mile When will I bring myself to ask her? Guess I'm afraid of the consequences I get so worried about how she'd answer Doubt I'd be able to mend those fences You always seem to smile, especially when we're together It seems like those moments couldn't get any better When we talk I see there are so many things we share and I like your nice laugh and ability to care They always seem to lean on you I'd like you to be able to turn to me, yeah It burns me up to see that you cozy up to him, he's not what you want (him) to be He's not good enough! He's not good enough! He's not good enough you see, the only one who fits the bill is me. I know I'm shy, but I also know that I'm the guy who can give you everything you need Yeah, he looks good, but his head is made of wood and you're a book that he can't read I'd make my move, but I'm not that smooth and I bet you're feeling just the same If I could break the ice, the times would be so nice but I can't, and I feel so lame He's not good enough! He's not good enough! He's not good enough you see, the only one who fits the bill is me. Back to list *Perfect Now Well here we go again You seem so perfect now And I don't want that to change Your address lays on my floor Your number in my head You know this happens every year These notes of mine Will constantly remind me of what I once had My indecisiveness is what I hate the most Or is it? I don't know You seem so perfect now And I don't know how And all the fun we had I don't want this to a passing fad You are my perfect star It's just the way you are When we met at school I looked into your eyes, I wanted you Had dreams of having fun this summer Think now that I could not find no other Thought it a million times before With my head down in the ground Never knowing of this beautiful sound You seem so perfect now And I don't know how And all the fun we had I don't want this to a passing fad You are my perfect star It's just the way you are When we met at school I looked into your eyes, I wanted you Back to list *Second Place What if I wasn't going to be the one who plays the role? The same one you've written a million times before. What would you do if I ignored what you say? What would you do if I controlled my own day? I'm going out, I'm moving on I'm looking out for number one I don't need you to tell me it's OK Cause I've realized I can find my own way. Don't wanna be the one you can fall back on Don't wanna be the one always staring down the gun What if I wasn't always the nice guy? The one you could you could always walk on by. What if I just spoke my mind? Would you be afraid of what you would find? I'm going out, I'm moving on I'm looking out for number one I don't need you to tell me it's OK Cause I've realized I can find my own way. Don't wanna be the one you can fall back on Don't wanna be the one always staring down the gun I'll be all I can be, won't scrounge for sympathy Do it all myself, won't rely on no one else I'll break free from your chains You won't be holding the reins and steering me along You'll realize that you were wrong! Don't wanna be the one you can fall back on Don't wanna be the one always staring down the gun Back to list
