IT'S NOT YOU
I'm in love with somebody, found someone who completes me; I'm in love with somebody, and it's not you.This may come as a bit of a shock to you, how could I possibly find somebody new?
I don't mean to bruise your ego but I've had your type nailed down for so long and I'm in desperate need of something true.
Hope you understand, it's been a long time coming, hope you understand, no offence.
I'm in love with somebody, found someone who completes me; I'm in love with somebody, and it's not you.
I don't want to waste time running in circles, we'd end up a scratch from my broken record.
Master of puppets has pulled my heart in, I found someone who has raised the bar and
I don't think you could have lived up to my challenge.
Hope you understand we could never make it, hope you understand, no hard feelings.
I'm in love with somebody, found someone who completes me; I'm in love with somebody, and it's not you.
You've probably never been shot down before, I'll try and make it easier.
THE HAND
You're going to get what's coming to you, your just dessert for my hand, black and blue.You're going to get all you asked for, exchange your regret for all I have died for, take it.
The hand feeds the mouth, that bites the hand, feeds the mouth that kissed you.
Sooner or later, it all comes back to,
The hand feeds the mouth that bites the hand, feeds the mouth that kissed you.
Sooner or later, it hits you in the back of the head.
You're going to come full circle someday, waste your years til the epiphany
That I knew all along, what I tried to teach you, your just dessert for my hand, black and blue, take it.
The hand feeds the mouth, that bites the hand, feeds the mouth that kissed you.
Sooner or later, it all comes back to,
The hand feeds the mouth that bites the hand, feeds the mouth that kissed you.
Sooner or later, it hits you in the back of the head.
SHOW ME
Show me what I'm searching for tonight, searching once again for all I'veMissed, indebted to me from this life, become content with all I'll never have.
Fall into me, show me what I'm missing; tap into me, set my soul ablaze.
Here you found me waiting over time I've given up, show me what I lost.
Show me all I'm mourning for today, yearning for all you have to give.
I feel the sun upon my face, I was so cold, I was gone.
You fell into me, showed me what I'm missing; tap into me, set my soul ablaze.
Here you found me waiting over time I've given up, show me what I lost.
Never overstay your welcome place inside my head, show me.
BLUE EYES
You think you're knowing what you're doing, where you're going, you just fall a little farther every time.You think your life is getting harder by the moment, no one seems to want to help you get it right, but I know what it feels like.
Hello, blue eyes, don't cry, I know what it's like.
Hello, blue eyes, I will sing your distorted lullabies.
No one likes to have their faults pointed out, doesn't make you any different than anyone else.
We'll find a common enemy and it will bring us closer in the most self-destructive ways, cause I know what it feels like.
Hello, blue eyes, don't cry, I know what it's like.
Hello, blue eyes, I will sing your distorted lullabies.
I know you don't believe a word I say when I tell you someday everything will be just fine,
So until then I will continue to cradle your head and help you get to sleep every night.
I will sing your distorted lullabies.
TAKES MY LIFE
I've written and erased your name a thousand ways in my book.I've tried to be unkind, maybe cause it to rewind and take a good hard look.
I try to take a stand, but it seems to never end in this place.
I'm gnawed down to bone, by the time I get alone, do I even know my own face?
You confuse me and correct me, and it's fine til someone takes my life.
I've caught you in the act, I fought to bring you back to my eyes.
I've left it all alone, saying someday you'll come home in my mind.
The other side of the fence always seems to bend to your view,
And I'm trying too hard, so I'll just leave my card with you.
Now you confuse me and correct me, and it's fine til someone takes my life,
And then you'll break me and remake me, it's still fine until you take my life.
Get back.
Then you'll take it and reshape it, just tell me I'm fine.
You confuse me and correct me, you correct me and tell me I'm fine
Until you take and you break me then remake me, just tell me I'm fine until you take my life.

IT'S NOT YOU
I'm in love with somebody, found someone who completes me; I'm in love with somebody, oh yeah, and it's not you.Read my finger, what you gonna do, see these lips are all done talking to you.
I don't mean to bruise your ego, but I've had you nailed down for so long, I don't see your name on my tattoo.
Hope you understand it's been a long time coming, it's for the best, no offence.
I'm in love with somebody, found someone who completes me; I'm in love with somebody, oh yeah, and it's not you.
I know who you think you are, I'm sorry I've turned you on but I'm kissing you off.
Your lines are whiskey and cigarettes, they're not enough to make me forget I've got someone who has raised the bar.
I've heard it all before, stop spinning your wheels, show you the door, no hard feelings.
I'm in love with somebody, found someone who completes me; I'm in love with somebody, oh yeah, and it's not you.
You've probably never been shot down before, I'll try and make it easier.
I GET OFF
You don't know that I know you watch me every night, and I just can't resist the urge to stand here in the light.Your greedy eyes upon me and then I come undone, and I could close the curtain but this is too much fun.
I get off on you getting off on me, give you what you want, but nothing is for free,
It's a give and take kind of love we make, when the line is crossed, I get off.
There's so much left unspoken between the two of us, it's so much more exciting to look when you can't touch,
And you could say I'm different, and maybe I'm a freak, but I know how to twist you to bring you to your knees.
I get off on you getting off on me, give you what you want, but nothing is for free,
It's a give and take kind of love we make, when the line is crossed, I get off.
What you don't know, what you can't see is what I do for you, I do for me.
BET U WISH U HAD ME BACK
It was you and me and one hot summer, beading up with sweat all over each other, soaking wet.We didn't have a lot of time, so we didn't waste much, finding all the right places you wanted me to touch,
And all those memories make it so hard to forget about me.
I bet you wish you had me back, another chance to get it just like that, the best you ever had.
And do you close your eyes with her and pretend I'm doing you again, like only I can?
I bet you wish you had me back.
It was you and me, it seemed to last forever, the way you taste, and I still remember the sounds we made.
One day in June I stayed all night and made love to you like the Fourth of July,
And all those memories make it so hard to forget about me.
I bet you wish you had me back, another chance to get it just like that, the best you ever had.
And do you close your eyes with her and pretend I'm doing you again, like only I can?
I bet you wish you had me back.
Every night, every time, you see me when you close your eyes.
INNOCENCE
See it from the outside, running toward the wall, swinging from your blind side, but you don't know me at all.I've been here too many times before, and your tears don't mean a thing, I only come when you scream.
I told you child, don't follow me home, you're just too perfect for my hands to hold.
If you choose to stay you'll throw it all away, and I just want to take your innocence.
Is this what you wanted, did I make your dream come true, sitting in a corner, wondering what you got into.
You ache for things you don't understand that your tears don't mean a thing, and I only come when you scream.
I told you child, don't follow me home, you're just too perfect for my hands to hold.
If you choose to stay you'll throw it all away, and I just want to take your innocence.
There's no such thing as fate, only yourself to blame, you never walked away.
FAMILIAR TASTE OF POISON
'Drink the wine, my darling,' you said, 'take your time and consume all of it.'But the roses were only to drain my inspiration, the promises were spoiled before they left your lips,
And I breathe you in again just to feel you underneath my skin, holding onto
The sweet escape is always laced with a familiar taste of poison.
I tell myself that you're no good for me, I wish you well but desire never leaves.
I could fight this til the end but maybe I don't want to win.
I breathe you in again just to feel you underneath my skin, holding onto
The sweet escape is always laced with a familiar taste of poison.
I don't want to be saved, I don't want to be sober, I want you on my mind,
In my dreams, behind these eyes, and I won't wake up, no, not this time.
I'M NOT AN ANGEL
You made a mistake on the day that you met me and lost your way.You saw all the signs, but you let it go, you closed your eyes.
I should have told you to leave, cause I knew all the time you couldn't handle me,
But you're hard to resist when you're on your knees, begging me.
I tear you down, I make you bleed eternally, can't help myself from hurting you when it's hurting me.
I don't have wings, to fly with me won't be easy, cause I'm not an angel.
I hate being that wall that you hit when you feel like you gave it all.
I keep taking the blame when we both know that I'll never change.
I tear you down, I make you bleed eternally, can't help myself from hurting you when it's hurting me.
I don't have wings, to fly with me won't be easy, cause I'm not an angel.
I wasn't always this way, I used to be the one with the halo,
But that disappeared when I had my first taste and fell from grace, it left me in this place.
I'm starting to think maybe you like it.
WHAT WERE YOU EXPECTING?
I know what you must be thinking, you're not right; you should know I'm not your baby, not tonight.I never was the kind of girl to trip and fall in love, I never was the kind to say enough is not enough,
I never was the touchy feely codependent kind, I like the feeling but I'm not on cloud nine.
You love it, you hate it, you think it, you say it, you want it, you need it, I tell you but you don't believe it.
What were you expecting, another lullaby, are you kidding? You must be high, cause it was just one kiss.
I don't need your flowers, they'll just go to waste; I don't want your candy cause I don't like the taste.
There never was a possibility I'd stick around, it never was my intention just to let you down,
I never was the kind of girl that's good at playing house; you want it, you need it, I tell you but you don't believe it.
What were you expecting, another lullaby, are you kidding? You must be high, cause it was just one kiss.
Everything about you makes me scream, be a man and get up off your knees, I'm trying to say this in the nicest way.
LOVE/HATE HEARTBREAK
Why did I waste my time, two steps I don't rewind, a feeling I can't define, I give back to you (give it all away, take it all the way).I see my demise from behind your eyes, I can't pass you by, I give back to you (give it all away, take it all the way).
Between love, between hate, shake the silence before it's too late, and it haunts you, it's a love/hate heartbreak.
This could be suicide, a kiss with these red knives, why am I driving blind, I give back to you (give it all away, take it all the way).
Try you on for size, I thought boys don't cry, you're my perfect lie, back to you (give it all away, take it all the way.)
Between love, between hate, shake the silence before it's too late, and it haunts you, it's a love/hate heartbreak.
BETTER SORRY THAN SAFE
I can't even think of one good reason why I'm always thinking about leaving, it's not like everything's so horrible.We've been together for a few years now and you know all my ins and outs, but everything's way too comfortable.
From the moment I wake, I plan my escape.
I'm not scared, cause I know there's something out there waiting for me, and I swear that I'll find it someday, just wait and see.
I don't care that you call me crazy, I can't stay cause I need room to breathe, there's nothing left to say, better sorry than safe.
Sometimes I wish you cheated on me, then leaving here would be so easy, it's time to take a chance and give you up.
In the morning I'll wake and make my escape.
I'm not scared, cause I know there's something out there waiting for me, and I swear that I'll find it someday, just wait and see.
I don't care that you call me crazy, I can't stay cause I need room to breathe, there's nothing left to say, better sorry than safe.
DIRTY WORK
Get on your knees and let the games begin, bow to your queen and I will crown your head,Cause I can make you every inch a king, before I do it, tell me what's in it for me.
I need someone young, willing and able, you need someone old enough to know better, I want you to do my dirty work.
Let me be your labour of love, my royal garden needs a hired man; plant your seed, darling, my roses are in your hands.
I need someone young, willing and able, you need someone old enough to know better, I want you to do my dirty work.
NOTHING TO DO WITH LOVE
You had your heart set on an angel's kiss, maybe a taste of bliss, maybe a long white dress and a fist full of flowers.You wrapped your arms around a murderer, pretending it didn't hurt, every time I cut you deeper and deeper.
I'm not the one you want to give your heart to.
You came, you fell, you thought this was something else, this has got nothing to do with love.
You beg, you plead, you wanted more than you could keep, this has got nothing to do with love.
I gave you just enough to paralyse, thought maybe you could satisfy, sometimes I get so bored with you, boy.
I'm not the one you want to give your heart to.
You came, you fell, you thought this was something else, this has got nothing to do with love.
You beg, you plead, you wanted more than you could keep, this has got nothing to do with love.

SLAVE TO THE GRIND
You got me forced to crack my lids in two, I'm still stuck inside this rubber room.I got to punch the clock that leads the blind, I'm just another gear in the assembly line, oh no.
The noose gets tighter around my throat but I ain't at the end of my rope,
Cause I won't be the one left behind, can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind.
Tear down the rat racial slime, can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind, get it?
A routine injection, a lethal dose, but my day in the sun ain't even close.
No need to waste your prayers on me, better mark my words cause I'm history, yes indeed.
You might beg for mercy to get by, but I'd rather tear this thorn from my side,
Cause I won't be the one left behind, can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind.
Tear down the rat racial slime, can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind.
They swallowed their daggers by turning their trick, they tore my intentions apart brick by brick,
I'm sick of the jive, you talk verbal insecticide.
BAD ROMANCE
Want your bad romance.I want your ugly, I want your disease, I want your everything as long as it's free, I want your love.
I want your drama, the touch of your hand, I want your leather-studded kiss in the sand, I want your love.
You know that I want you, and you know that I need you, I want it bad, a bad romance.
I want your love and I want your revenge, you and me could write a bad romance.
I want your love and all your lover's revenge, you and me could write a bad romance.
Caught in a bad romance, want your bad romance.
I want your horror, I want your design, cause you're a criminal as long as you're mine, I want your love.
I want your psycho, your vertigo stick, want you in my rear window, baby you're sick, I want your love.
You know that I want you, and you know that I need you, I want it bad, a bad romance.
I want your love and I want your revenge, you and me could write a bad romance.
I want your love and all your lover's revenge, you and me could write a bad romance.
Caught in a bad romance, want your bad romance.
I want your love and I want your revenge, I want your love, I don't want to be friends.
J'adore l'amour et je veux ta revanche, j'adore l'amour, I don't want to be friends, want your bad romance.
HUNGER STRIKE
I don't mind stealing bread from the mouths of decadents, but I can't feed on the powerless when my cup's already overfilled.And it's on the table, the fire's cooking, and they're farming babies, the slaves are all working.
The blood is on the table, the mouths are choking, but I'm going hungry.
OUT TA GET ME
Been hiding out and laying low, it's nothing new to me.Well, you can always find a place to go if you can keep your sanity.
Break down the doors and rape my rights, but they won't touch me.
They scream and yell and fight all night, you can't tell me.
I lose my head, I close my eyes, they won't touch me,
Cause I got something I've been building up inside for so fucking long.
They're out to get me, they won't catch me, I'm fucking innocent, they won't break me.
Sometimes it's easy to forget where you're going, sometimes it's harder to leave,
And every time you think you know just what you're doing, that's when your troubles exceed.
They push me in a corner to get me to fight but they won't touch me.
They preach and yell and fight all night, you can't tell me.
I lose my head, I close my eyes, they won't touch me,
Cause I got something I've been building up inside, I'm already gone.
They're out to get me, they won't catch me, cause I'm innocent, they won't break me.
Let me see you try!
Some people got a chip on their shoulder, and some would say it was me,
But I didn't buy that fifth of whiskey that you gave me, so I'd be quick to disagree.
They're out to get me, they won't catch me, I'm fucking innocent, they won't break me.
They're out to get me, they won't catch me, cause I'm innocent, so you can suck me.
Take that one to heart!
ALL I WANNA DO IS MAKE LOVE TO YOU
It was a rainy night when he came into sight, standing by the road, no umbrella, no coat.So I pulled up alongside and I offered him a ride; he accepted with a smile, so we drove for a while.
I didn't ask him his name, this lonely boy in the rain; well, fate, tell me it's right, is this love at first sight?
Please don't make it wrong, just stay for the night.
All I want to do is make love to you, say you will, you want me too.
All I want to do is make love to you, I've got loving arms to hold on to.
So we found this hotel, it was a place I knew well; we made magic that night, oh, he did everything right.
He brought the woman out of me, so many times, easily, and in the morning when we woke, all I left him was a note.
I told him, "I am the flower, you are the seed, we walked in the garden, we planted a tree.
Now baby, don't try to find me, please don't you dare, just live in my memory, you'll always be there."
All I want to do is make love to you, one night of love was all we knew.
All I want to do is make love to you, I've got loving arms to hold on to.
We made love, love like strangers, all night long.
Then it happened one day, we came around the same way, you can imagine his surprise when he saw his own eyes.
But I said, "Please baby, please understand, I'm in love with another man,
What he couldn't give me was that one little thing that you can."
All I want to do is make love to you, one night of love was all we knew.
All I want to do is make love to you, say you will, babe, you want me too, all night long.
I WANT YOU (SHE'S SO HEAVY)
I want you, I want you so bad, babe, I want you so bad it's driving me mad.She's so heavy.
