you can't put the blame on others
for the things that you do
you can't justify your actions
just by pointing the finger away from you
and all the things you say aren't even true
instead of looking at others
you need to just take a look at...
JUST TAKE A LOOK AT... at you
take responsibility
for the things you do and say
you point the finger the other way
because you have no integrity...INTEGRITY
you may have noticed that in times of wars
religious leaders parade around like
a bunch of whores
while soldiers are out sacrificing
THEIR LIVES
both sides are praying
THAT the OTHER side DIES
you've got to pay the prophet by the hour
because it's not about god, it's about power
(chorus)
IN GOD WE TRUST
in the government that kills us
IN GOD WE TRUST
in the priests that molest us
IN GOD WE TRUST
that when the children are slain
it will all be done IN GOD'S NAME
good hearted people are the ones
who made you rich
you should be the one that's lying in the ditch
your hipocrisy has now
SHOWN THROUGH
you say you're with god
BUT he's NOT with YOU
you mislead the nations to fit your plans
think you're a god, but you're just a man
kissing politicians asses on their knees
in Germany they were praying for Nazis
only in it for the stature
on your knees praying for disaster
church and state-
worshiped by those they annihilate
leeching off others never think ahead
trusting in chance to keep you fed
you can't take advice because your ignorant
but what you do when your youth is spent
(chorus)
DISSILUTIONED- you think your hear to stay
REALITY- you waste your time away
DISSILUTIONED- time was meant to be ignored
REALITY- there's one thing that's for sure
YOU'LL NEVER BE ANYTHING MORE
you've got the look- you've got the hair
you're so pathetic that you don't care
you get pissed off when you're not shown respect
but first you've got to give before you can get
(chorus)
instead of working, you stay home and drink
YOU'LL NEVER BE ANYTHING MORE
you better stop and take some time to think
YOU'LL NEVER BE ANYTHING MORE
than a thorn in my side
YOU'LL NEVER BE ANYTHING MORE
just because you never tried
YOU'LL NEVER BE ANYTHING MORE
all i ever would expect
from you
is mutual respect
you see me
as a friend in need
I want have you to have my back
bur don't try to take the lead
(chorus)
everyone has their own
choices to make
let me make
MY OWN MISTAKES
used to treat me like an equal
then your head got bigger
I need a friend
not an authority figure
(chorus)
you like to give advice
and that's just fine
but when you bark out orders
you've crossed the line
all i would ever expect
from you is mutual respect
MUTUAL RESPECT (x3)
show me respect
and mine you'll never lose
don't step on my toes
before you walk in my shoes
criticizing others
who have the same faults as you
making bad decisions
without ever thinking them through
taking for granted all the good things done
always complaining about life makes you
miss out on all the fun
YOU bring all your problems upon yourself
yet you choose to blame EVERYONE ELSE
never listened to what others have to say
you're at fault in each AND EVERY WAY
constantly complaining every single day
NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY
you're at fault in each and every way and
NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY
I can't see how
people in this world can blindly
trust in others
don't they understand
how this world can devour
the darkness can blind
but I know I will see past
I TRY TO BE NICE
but i don't want to finish last
(chorus)
so i'll proudly stand on my own
ON MY OWN
learning from mistakes has shown
I'll proudly stand on my own
learning from mistakes has shown
I'll proudly walk this world alone
from my glass house i throw
THE FIRST STONE
I've never been one
to follow a line
because that kind
that kind is alsays left behind
I've no need to justify
why i always criticize
YOU WOULD BE SURPRISED
how you look through these eyes
(chorus)
always looking forward
never looking back
don't feel a thing
only react
I'll proudly stand ON MY OWN
from my glass house I throw
THE FIRST STONE
We wont take the blame
You should feel the same
Ever since the dawn of time
It's been passed to the next in line
Try to pass the buck - it's no use
For these problems - YOU CAN'T BLAME THE YOUTH
(chorus)
For the problems we see
Cause we're all members of society
And everything that is done
Has some effect on every one
I won't say we're not at fault
Everyone plays a part
Parents who were never there
Wonder why their kids don't care
Some might disagree - we know the truth
For these problems- YOU CAN'T BLAME THE YOUTH
(chorus)
you can't just point the finger at me
everyone's gotta take responsibility
I'm not trying to say my life is that bad
But there are plenty of kids who are given reasons to be mad
When famous people die they're always remembered in good light
Even if they were corrupt - it's just not right
When a homeless person dies no one cares who he might be
The story would be different if his last name was Kennedy
For these famous people everyone shows sorrow
But hundreds of common people are gonna die tomorrow
When I die I don't want my face on t.v.
I just want to know that there were people who cared about me
I'm just another face in the crowd and I have every reason to be proud
Sometimes I try to kid myself
and work toward better days
But I know it is just my luck that things
they always end the same way
END THE SAME WAY
I've wasted my time
when you look for something is when you go blind
but I wont let myself down
I've always felt this way
And I can't say why
I'll fight my way through
Cause I'm too dumb to say die
Of all the things you've done the biggest mistake was your last one
Your solution to your problems is the death of everyone else's happiness
Now you're gone, your family and friends
are overcome by a sorrow that will never end
All because of one single act of desperation and selfishness
(chorus)
what were you thinking?
Where was your heart?
What went wrong?
Did you fail to realize WE WILL CARRY ON
Now a message is sent loud and clear
But everyone refuses to hear
There are issues more important than everyones feelings of self pity
False friends appear with a tear in their eye
But when you were here they wouldn't give you the time
It's a shame that even death exposes this world's superficiality
(chorus)
YOU SAID you couldn't stand up
That you needed a hand
But now your family feels the pain that you
YOU REFUSED TO STAND
The more I look- the less I want to see
Nobody ever sees things quite like me
Paid with lies for the truth I bring
Trust to everyone is a disposable thing
I look at your life- It's your time well spent
Cause I could never understand your SELFISH INTENT
I wait for the time when you get what you deserve
Because I've got too much heart for this cruel world
I can't get rid of this heavy feeling in my chest
My search for peace of mind only leads me to unrest
I am on a downward spiral towards insanity
And I'm gonna drag everyone down with me
I'll keep on going on my hopeless quest
And I'll never stop -I won't stop until you put me to rest
(chorus)
Do all the days make you feel drained
And do you feel like nothings gained
Do people think you're acting crazy
Just when you're FEELING SANE
I'm feeling miserable- but I'm optimistic
I wont be a victim- or become a statistic
You're in need of someone to follow
Down the road of hopeless tomorrows
(chorus)
when I looked for help there was no one around
I fell hard but I've still got my feet on the ground
No time for backstabbing or disappearing friends
People only treat you good when it's easy for them
It's time you understand
Your arrogance is your end
Try and show your might
Make sure you are always right
How far can you ever advance
When no one ever even gets a chance
When your time finally comes
And there was NO GOOD DONE
No one speaks on your behalf cause your gone
Then its my time to laugh
No one speaks on your behalf cause your gone
gone for good
Understand
Your arrogance- it will be your end
There's no need to think
Just take in what you're shown
Television shows you life
no need to have one of your own
your whole life been wasted staring at a screen
bloodshot eyes will never be wiped clean
staring at a screen
in what you call your life
everythings passed you by
now the truth stabs you like a knife
I want all the wasted days of those who throw it all away
Some face the end and wish they could go back
What some waste is what THEY LACK
I wont weep for them but it is a shame
That those who will fight to survive will die just the same
There are others who need the time much more than you
You woke up- you realized you're old and gray
Now you've got an ulcer worried about bills to pay
Work all day behind a desk- rush home to do the same
Your whole family hates you- now you wonder what's to blame
(chorus)
Money you haven't got spent on things you don't need
Running yourself into the ground IN PURSUIT OF GREED
Now it's too late to reap the rewards
From the children you had but always ignored
That's because they've already learned your major lesson
That people don't matter- only possessions
(chorus)
All the time you've wasted you'll never GET IT BACK
How did you let your life stray SO FAR OFF THE TRACK
