Father said to stay in school Study hard and you’ll be rich Teachers taught me math and science All I learned was life’s a bitch The daily struggle, lessons learned, A wife that loves you, hard work earns A pension plan and mini-vans, two-car garage, a family man Look, what more can I say now, look A child on the way now, look Promotion any day now, look The more you slave away now, uh Your weekly check, your credit debt Look, look at what you get, at what you get. You did the best you could with what you had, man! (Chorus) In my mind, we won't have much time, if we wait too long Mother said to get a job, Pay your dues and you’ll go far Climb your way up corporate ladders Here’s your key, company car Mortgage loans on gorgeous homes, Your status known by things you own When the kids have grown, tuition costs, buy and sell, stock market loss Look, what more can I say now, look A child on the way now, look Promotion any day now, look The more you slave away now, uh Your weekly debt, your credit check, Look, look at what you get, at what you get, You did the best you could with what you had, man! (Chorus) In my mind, we won't have much time, if we wait too long Driving around, nowhere to be found, fading away from it all

(Intro) (I cannot forget) Three little words that you never heard Two little pronouns, one little verb (Anyone I've known) One little heart getting kicked to the curb One little girl who wished it wasn’t hers One little boy stares at stars in the sky With the little girl’s heart and sparks in his eyes (Deep inside the sky) But a spark can’t inflame if that spark don’t ignite So the little boy’s heart lay in darkness tonight Boy grows up, he’s a stupid prick Girl throws up, she just sucked a dick (Is all that's ever been) Boy loves girl, she’s the coolest chick Boy gets dumped, she’s a stupid bitch I can’t forget you, ever since I met you and let you into my life, I think about you (I can stand what we are) Every single minute of every single night, when every single second seems more like a life Time moves so slow without you, and then you said I’d never learn shit about you (The way I feel isn't all) I said come on, give us some time to grow but you said no, that it was time to go Whoa, hold on, maybe rethink that statement, you could be mistaken, these steps you’re taking (The violence of the past) Such a thin line comes between love and hatred. If these bonds were sacred, how could you break them? Who the hell are you to be so cold like that? (Returns with more remorse) Take what we had, put it on hold like that, I don’t roll like that, you're oh so wack, your heart must be the color of coal: so black Cause you and I, girl, we could have been something You know what could have stopped us girl? Nothing The new age Bonnie and Clyde, two partners in crime, we could have been the stars of our time (Regret what you have done) Maybe one day when the stars realign, we can still shine, we can still shine (So someone is to blame) Girl, let me inside, let me inside, open up your mind (Chorus) I can't stand what we are The way I feel isn't all I feel your absence, so I drown my sorrows in some absinthe Mix that with a bottle of the aspirin and them some acid, (Open up your mind) And then I’m passed it, the point of no return, I hope your seat belts fastened Cause we crashing, it's time to cash in, imagine the nights we could have had, all the passion (So I can see inside) Its old fashioned but I think you and I, well, we could have lasted We could have been perfect, well not perfect, shit, sometimes you and I were kinda like like a three-ring circus (Echo a belief) On the surface, but underneath, deep down, that’s where the real love flourished Till you cut me off, shut me out, fuck I’m about to blow my top, love then hate, then love again, will it ever stop? (If you cannot pretend) (Chorus)

I gotta a whole slew of motherfuckers out to get me But a whole crew of other brothers love to rep me And they’ll protect me in the dead of the night When its on and poppin’ and we ready to fight I just throw up a light, the bat signal is charged All you see is mother fuckers getting outta their cars Brass knuckles and bats, switchblades in their jackets It's generals, lieutenants, sergeants, foot soldiers, and captains Anything can happen, yeah, we rumblin’ now Its mayhem in the streets, buildings crumbling down All around us is chaos like the world as we know it Slipping right through our fingers the more we try to control it Through the eyes of a poet, our story is spoken My brothers in arms, their bodies bloody and broken Ripped open their stomachs, ribs poking up from it corpses filling the streets, the blood pouring in buckets (Chorus) To my brothers in arms, I promise you, you will see no harm We must stand true, we will stay strong For the fame and the fortune, till they're painting our portraits, till the whole worlds wanting our courtship To my brothers in arms, I promise you, you will see no harm We must stand true, we will stay strong For the guts the and glory, till the end of our story, till the whole worlds screaming it for me It's heaven verse hell, yeah it's angels verse demons My life is a nightmare, someone pinch me, I’m dreaming And I know that your fiending, but I’ll be your crutch When you're down on your luck, and no one else gives a fuck Cause that’s what I’m here for, you're someone I care for We soldiers in this war like the army or Air Force I’m the one you rely on, the shoulder to cry on Put your life in my hands and I will lead us to Zion I promise you that when the worlds at its coldest And you're feeling hopeless that I shall remain focused Have strength for us both it's The least I could do If the roles were reversed, I know that you’d do it to. You have nothing to prove so let me carry this weight The world on my shoulders and I swear I won’t break Past the heavenly gates, past the sinners and saints Past anyone who stands in our way (Chorus) (Bridge) Come on now Come on now Come on now Come out and fight And thus the conclusion, the end of our journey Thousands of bodies all strapped to the gurneys The buildings were burning, a world lay to waste But we had driven them back, stared death in the face To Hell and back we had marched, the dust had now settled Stench of blood in the air, burnt rubber and mettle It was hot as a kettle and so hard to breath The flies infested the bodies, the vultures circled the trees And my brothers and me, yeah, my brothers in arms Had emerged through the carnage, through the eye of the storm Through the smoke of a bomb, we came out smelling like roses Those of us who had survived the explosions Though now there was few where once there was many Our story’s past down, uh, and remains legendary Shadow Puppets baby sing our praises through song Of our rise and our fall, yeah, you sing along (Chorus)

Look around, what do I see? Everybody's telling me That the world is not ok, if I'm alone another day Baby please give me one chance. Let me try to be your man Find you alone with the setting sun and make you my only one Is it ever any wonder that I never lost your number? That in bed when I slumber, I'm dreaming of no other I'm thinking of you girl when I'm kicking in the covers It's your face on the other that I picture when I fuck her I want you as my lover, introduce you to my mother My bun up in your oven, a house out in the suburbs Keep up with the Jones' if I just had the cajones To ask you on a date instead of stalking where your home is Damn (Chorus) Baby, I know what I want (I want you) Maybe, you know what I've got (I got you) Baby, I know what I want (I want you) And if I can't have it, no one will I'm really not surprised that you got your mother's eyes Their bluer than the sky, more beautiful than I Could ever have realized and no, words cannot describe How I feel about you and the routines in your life These binoculars I bought were only a dollar ninety-nine The purchase of the year, the best one of its kind Soon I think you'll find that our lives will intertwine I will enter yours and you will enter mine (Chorus)

The night was dark and stormy and I had no weapon on me I was driving by my lonely when my homey tried to call me But I didn’t have reception so his call got no connection Had I paid it more attention, I’d had learned the dead had risen Their mission, open season on this human flesh The walking dead they can’t rest until their hungers fed And me, I’m stuck here in my car Broken down by the road Gonna walk through the park Pray to God I get home (Chorus) 1 footstep, 2 footsteps, 3 footsteps, I hear someone coming 4 footsteps, 5 footsteps, 6 footsteps, I better get to running 7 footsteps, 8 footsteps, 9 footsteps, something’s creeping up beside me 10 footsteps, 11 footsteps, 12 footsteps, the horror’s right behind me There’s a maniac a-stalking, he’s walking weird and he’s talking To himself, mumbling under his breath, someone’s gonna get killed Satanic verses for certain, taken for granted since birth and Rejected by the few love ones who used to love him, they shun him Want nothing to do with him now, they through with him now So he wears a mask to hide the pain of the past And me, I’m just strolling through town I need to use someone’s phone I’m being followed around This guy won’t leave me alone (Chorus) (Bridge) Don't come out tonight Don't turn on your light Don't open your eyes If you want to hide My dreams have all been haunted, I’m taunted by guys with claws in ‘em Causing nightmares in volumes, I wake up feeling nausea The zombies, they keep appearing This small town is gripped in fear and The government keeps on swearing they'll help but they don’t come near it The town is under lock down Quarantine the entire block down The zombies, they can’t be shot down The only hope that we got now Is me, but I’m up here in this room Locked up in this cage I hope that he’ll free me soon I haven’t eaten for days. (Chorus)

(Intro) Some things change bitch, you ain't one of them Watch your back even when you think I'm gone Hold on tight to the ones you love Turn around to see what I've done Don't try to act like you're not afraid of all that lurks in the shadows of your brain First I'll slip into your dreams, then reappear when you can't sleep Hell would be a sweet escape from what your world has now become I've come to take everything that's right and drain your soul til the end of time (Chorus) Hi, my name is wrath, I’m a psychopath, I’m a psychopath (Hanging on, fading out, hating on what we're doing) Hello, my name is Hi, my name is lust, I can’t get enough, I can’t get enough Hello, my name is Hi, my name is greed, you got what I need, you got what I need (Hanging on, fading out, hating on what we're doing) And I’m gonna take it, no mistaking, I’m forsaken, standing naked, drenched in blood It’s the voices in my head, god, I’m so misunderstood Oh try to be part of society but they lie to me so I quietly lose sobriety Oh my god, I’m going fucking nuts All I see are fucking cuts on my wrist and it sucks So I gotta suck the blood off my cut and stitch it up Drip the blood on the floor, on your knees, you lick it up You’re my pet, I’m-a name you, I’m-a call you what I want I’m gonna keep you in a cage, no, you’ll never see the sun It’s so fun to hear you scream at the top of your lungs (Chorus) Hi, my name is pride, I’m deep inside, I’m deep inside (Hanging on, fading out, hating on what we're doing) Hello, my name is Hi, my name is sloth, my mind is lost, my mind is lost Hello, my name is Hi, my name is envy, to hell I send thee, to hell I send thee (Hanging on, fading out, hating on what we're doing) And you're never coming back You hear the ratatatatat of the rat up in his cage See the gash up on his face, bones, I love to hear 'em crack The sound just makes me laugh, you don’t even know the half of the sins that I have Weighing heavy on my mind, which I lost a long time Ago, oh no, you’re dying so slow, oh no, you’re crying, you know I’m in the corner, rocking back and forth, your head up in my arms Like you were a new born, like lambs unto the slaughter I just love to torture, your pain will paint a portrait The bloodstains on the carpet There’s so much blood. (Chorus) Hi, my name is gluttony, guess what, you’re stuck with me, guess what, you’re stuck with me (Hanging on, fading out, hating on what we're doing) Hello, my name is Hi, my name is sin, I’m deep within, I’m deep within (Hanging on, fading out, hating on what we're doing) Hello, my name is Hi, my name is sin, so let’s begin, so let’s begin

(Chorus) You a beauty queen, I'm an Ancient Love Machine We make a perfect match, we form the perfect team I've waited a thousand years for you to wake me from my sleep It only took one kiss, you're everything I dreamed you'd be Oh girl I love you so, never, ever, ever gonna let you go I set you free, you came back home. You never, ever severed these ties we’ve grown To the times you’ve thrown your hissy fits Slit your wrists, dragged me through all the piss and shit, I still reminisce About your kiss, I miss you... pulled me out from the dark abyss And that’s why I want you here with me Yes, why I love you fancy-free In times of trouble, I turn to you like you turn to me Till eternity, I’ll be there for you Tf times are horrible, I’ll be your oracle It's metaphorical, metaphysical, unconditional love. (Chorus) You a beauty queen, I'm an Ancient Love Machine We make a perfect match, we form the perfect team I've waited a thousand years for you to wake me from my sleep It only took one kiss, you're everything I dreamed you'd be Oh girl, I want to live in your world I don’t want to be nowhere but there curled Up in bed with you, spooning You deserve a second viewing, encore, encore, mi amore I adore you more than anyone Has anyone been this forward with you before? I’ll start a war Like Troy when Paris promised marriage And then Helen got them killing You’re a million times appealing than that chick You would launch a billion ships What’s a thousand? When your frowning I’m around to make that pout turns upside down So ultra quick. (Chorus) Like Romeo and Juliet, we’re star-crossed lover newlyweds The Montegues, the Capulets, say fuck 'em all, cause it's us verse them Behind closed doors we’ll make our vows They ain’t gonna approve of it anyhow They try and take us down, tear us apart Not even death's gonna stop this burning heart From our wedding night til Armageddon strikes Its gonna be alright if its you and I And they can run me off but I’ll turn right back around Quick as you can say where art thou? And a rose by any other name would smell as sweet But if it grows from any other strain its weak It just can’t compete, I’m just not complete Unless you're with me, girl, you’re all I need (Chorus)

(Intro) Listen up, this is Captain Dozie speaking We've got a crazy psycho killer on the loose I need all cars to be on the lookout Officers Davidson and Anderson, get your ass to the vector quadrant Put down your space donuts dammit, he's just been spotted Look up into the sky Who ever thought pigs would actually fly? At the world's end, everything said and done The bullies of the past are now armed with guns Wait a minute, I'll get inside of their heads Before I simply state that they'd be better of dead And take a good look at the value of life The virtue of a brain and the violence of a knife We fly around every single night Cruising, just looking for a fight We're lifeless, mindless, soulless, remorseless, and violent Girl get on your knees, I'd kill before I'd ever say please And if you tell, who'd you think they'd believe A slutty little girl or the fucking police Welcome to the city, it's gritty in the streets Yeah, they try to keep the peace but the city never sleeps So the city needs police, so they're calling all cars Times have fallen hard so they look to the stars And look, here we are, yeah, they say I’m corrupt That I don’t give a fuck, that I’ll self-destruct And yes, I refuse to play by the rules And my partner, he’s a martyr cause he never follows orders A loose-cannon with the handgun The captain throws his tantrums But he knows he needs us cause no ones gonna catch ‘em These criminals From illegal immigrants to those evil replicants, we're pivotal So who you gonna call when the shit hits the fan? And you’ve done what you can but it's out of your hands It’s the mother fucking space police We're on the case, gonna clean the streets (Chorus) Got a couple girlfriends, got a couple wives A mistress on the side, babysitter needs a ride So what, I’m a bad guy, take my ass to court The only child I support is the child you abort I’m an asshole, but I get the job done Rid the city of the scum with my badge and my gun And I jab you in the lungs, leave you out of breath Cause I love to see you sweat when your under arrest So yes, be my guest, you have the right to remain silent The mind of a nihilist so I might remain violent Hit you with the Heimlich, its not to save you Its to crush your spine and leave your ass disabled Now, don’t you safer? I protect and serve But collect your nerves cause I expect the worst It’s the mother fucking space police We on the case, gonna keep the peace (Chorus)

I remember when I was a kid, just eight years old You remember what we did? We would search for gold We would dig a hole in the backyard Bury some shit, make swords out a cardboard Then we would imagine fire-breathing dragons And battle them bitches till the sun went down Until mom would yell, get your ass in the house It's getting dark outside, we’d be back in about Twenty minutes or so, re-digging the hole On the first day of winter, we’d both catch a cold And little Wendy next door would play doctor with us That’s how we learned about girls, cooties and stuff Gosh those were the days, man, but they went away man We went and grew up, no more lemonade stand Our imagination faded away I’m too busy today, to come out and play (Chorus) I don’t want to grow old (I don't want to waste it all away) Its getting so cold I can feel it in my bones (I don't want to waste it all away) I just want to go home We traded action figures for facts and figures Tonka trucks for Sanka cups Tell me what’s with us? Why grow up so fast? Tell me, what’s the rush? I guess it’s the bucks, I got a 9 to 5 now Suit and tie now, guess I’m tied down I don’t got the time now to watch my own son slide down the slide that I slid down I think I’ll just sit down, rest my weary legs Feet up near the bed, it's time to clear my head Reminisce about the past with sentimental affection and look upon my future with fear and dread A wise man once said Only the good die young Does that mean if I grow up, that I’m bad or something? I guess I had it coming Squandered my youth Shed my skin for an Armani suit (Chorus) They say time is cyclical, but I’m getting cynical In my old age now, I pray its just biblical Like my second coming will have trumpets and drumming A lot of singing and screaming, drinking, smoking and fucking Now wouldn’t that be something? I could be a kid again Repeat the things I did at ten and not mess up I’d have a lot less of The regrets I had on the first go around, which I have an excess of But after life is there an Afterlife? It's how we use our time now that matters right? I should be satisfied, not live in the past Like back then, I scored more ass I don’t move so fast these days I’ve had hips replaced Emergency surgery, I’m at Heaven’s Gate St. Peter’s like great, this fucking guy, his ass will have to wait (Chorus) (Tell me why I have no time, to look into the otherside)

In the shadow of a setting sun, where darkness reigns Unhinge to the other side, where nothing is explained Never believe it all, no way Sit out and fight the breakdown, violence eases pain In the heart of a quiet beast, terror feeds the deep Ugly statues of a plundered mind, open up a trace Into a dream and just behind fearless worries Shatter a soul into the sky, nothing else remains

Come and march with me This whole thing starts with me Approach cautiously Cause there are parts of me that you don’t have the heart to see And honestly, I can’t be held responsible For the numbing pain, like when you get your tonsils pulled But there ain’t no ice cream here but when I scream here I need you to scream along Perhaps its extremely wrong But I need you to do everything I tell you to do Not everything I tell you is true But believe me When you see me Act agreeably It's in your best interests to not take what I say in jest I’m just a guest In the inner corners of your mind And this is just all a test We believe what we want We can see the reasons We conceived the problems We relieve the lost ones (Chorus) The world falls apart When we come for all Tell us why you're spineless Waste away the timeless Feel around with blindness Give yourself to silence Fill the mind with treason Feed you one more reason Sell your soul for one thought Give us all that you've got (Chorus)

You and I friend, well we're kinda the same Just reflections in the mirror, two different sides of the brain I'm good at hiding the pain, you wear yours on your sleeve You think you're nothing like me huh? Well that's hard to believe You see, it just takes a day and everything, it can change You see, the sanest man alive, he can just go insane Yeah, he's minutes away, any second he'll snap He's had it up to here and he ain't coming back (Chorus) You think I'm mindless Like I lost my mind and I can't find it But I'm sane I am, no really honest Yeah, you're safe with me, you see, I'm harmless Yeah, I'm harmless That's bullshit homie, I ain't nothing like you Not even close, there ain't nothing even similar to A single thing that you do that even closely compares I've seen my fair share of lunacy and you ain't prepared You see, if I were to crack, to be pushed over the edge To conversate with the voices that keep talking in my head I'd act all normal, just like everyone else I'd be your neighbor, be your friend, I'd be just like yourself Oh no (Chorus) (Outro) I can't be alone with you I can't see what I've become You make me do what I will We will be the crazy ones
