Big Machine; Sung by Johnny Rzeznik
ecstasy is all you need
living in the big machine, now
oh you're so vain
now your world is way too fast
nothing's real and nothing lasts
and i'm aware
i'm in love but you don't care
turn your anger into lust
i'm still here but you don't trust at all
and i'll be waiting
love and sex and loneliness
take what's yours and leave the rest
so i'll survive
god it's good to be alive
i'm torn in pieces
i'm blind and waiting for you
my heart is reeling
i'm blind and waiting for you
still in love with all your sins
where you stop and i begin and i'll
i'll be waiting
living like a house on fire
what you fear is your desire
it's hard to deal
i still love the way you feel
now this angry little girl
drowning in this petty world and oh
who you run to
swallow all your bitter pills
that's what makes you beautiful
you're all or not
i don't need what you ain't got
i'm torn in pieces
i'm blind and waiting for you
my heart is reeling
i'm blind and waiting for you
i'm blind and waiting for you
i'm blind and waiting for you
and i can't believe it's coming true
god it's good to be alive
and i'm still here waiting for you
and i can't believe it's coming true
i'm blind and waiting for you

What A Scene; Sung by Johnny Rzeznik
when you're feeling all wrong
in the back of your mind again
how does it feel when you drop down
everything's all the same
saccharine caffeine nicotine gum
oh it tastes sweet but it's not for long
and i just think you thought it would be
and when you're looking for truth
on the cover of a magazine
how does it feel when you find out
what you're not gonna be
oh yeah give me your image
and the things you believe
open your eyes, tell me what did you see
and i just think you thought it surreal
and how does it feel when you're out on your own?
and now it's too late to come home
it's hard to be free when you're down on your knees
take it easy 'til you make it alone
now you're supermarket punk rock television comedy
out on the scene, yeah i bit down
now there's no hand to feed
and all the beautiful images lining your walls
pop radio screaming down the halls
and now you think you found something real
oh when it's all about money and the things that you need
live a big lie and they all believe
now i just find that somehow obscene
and how does it feel when you're out on your own?
and now it's too late to come home
it's hard to be free when you're down on your knees
take it easy 'til you make it alone
take it easy 'til you make it alone
what a scene, yeah

take it easy 'til you make it alone
take it easy 'til you make it alone

Are you feeling that way?

and it's up, up, up
i'm headin' for this evening

It's Over; Sung by Johnny Rzeznik
and i didn't think about
all the ways i hurt you and myself
and i wouldn't say a thing to you
i keep it to myself in my mind
i can't stand without you
i won't find the answers when you're gone
but it's over to you
and i can't find the answers when you're gone
and it's over to you
and you can't find the answer where you are
and you know, i need you now
and this ain't easy to admit
and no one needs to know
what goes on behind the door in my room
kicking through the walls in my mind
i can't stand without you
i won't find the answers when you're gone
but it's over to you
and i can't find the answers when you're gone
and it's over to you
and you can't find the answers where you are
i won't tear you down, i won't tear you down
to get into the world you wanted
kicking through the walls
no one can believe in things that never change
but it's over to you
and i can't find the answers when you're gone
and it's over to you
and you can't find the answers where you are
and it's over to you
and i can't find the answers when you're gone
i can't find the answers when you're gone
i can't find the answers when you're gone
Sympathy; Sung by Johnny Rzeznik
stranger than your sympathy
and this is my apology
i'm killing myself from the inside out
and all my fears have pushed you out
and i wish for the things that i don't need
all i wanted
and what i chase won't set me free
it's all i wanted
and i get scared but i'm not crawling on my knees
oh and yeah, everything's all wrong, yeah
everything's all wrong, yeah
where the hell did i think i was?
and stranger than your sympathy
take these things so i don't feel
i'm killing myself from the inside out
and now my head's been filled with doubt
it's hard to lead the life you choose
all i wanted
when all your luck's run out on you
all i wanted
and you can't see
when all your dreams are coming true
oh and yeah, it's easy to forget, and yeah
and you choke on the regrets, yeah
who the hell did i think i was?
and stranger than your sympathy
and all these thoughts you stole from me
i'm not sure where i belong
and nowhere's home and i'm all wrong
and i wasn't all the things
i tried to make believe i was
and i wouldn't be the one to kneel before the dreams i wanted
all the talk and all the lies
were all the empty things disguised as me
mmmm, yeah
stranger than your sympathy
stranger than your sympathy
mmmm, mmm, hmmm, mmmm, mmmm, hmmm, mmmm

mama just called, said she's tucked away another day
mama just called, said she's tucked away

mama just called, said she's tucked away
mama just called, said she's tucked away another day
tucked away, tucked away, tucked away, tucked away
Truth Is A Whisper; Sung by Johnny Rzeznik
truth is a whisper and only a choice
nobody hears above this noise 'til you ho
it's always a risk when you try and believe
in this something
i know there's so much more than me, yeah
yeah i got caught in the ruse of the world
it's just a promise no one ever keeps
and now it's changing while you sleep
and no one here can see
you know all i am
feel this moment in you
you know all i am
can you teach me to believe in something?
sometimes you choke on the smell just to breathe
i need to question what i need
the rhythm of silence that beats through your mind
still you forget what you deny, yeah
and i got caught in the ruse of the world
it's just a promise no one ever keeps
and now it's changing in your sleep
and no one here can see
you know all i am
feel this moment in you
you know all i am
can you teach me to believe in something?
who's the one you answer to?
do you listen when he speaks?
or is everything for you?
and do you find it hard to sleep?
or is it easy on your own?
and will you ever find some peace?
before you're gone
you know all i am
feel this moment in you
you know all i am
can you teach me to believe in something?
