Just another lesson learned
Wear a scar, a bore repeating
Take a simple fateful turn
Opened up to stop the bleeding

Feeling like you never could
Been the disconnected frying
Hit the vein and struck a nerve
Seeing through a self that's blinding

Nowhere to buy in
Most of us hiding
Others are shining

Just another brick you toss
Stone the number one deceiver
Multiply the added cost
Easy to become a believer

Feeling like you never could
Been the disconnected frying
Hit the vein and struck a nerve
Seeing through a self that's blinding

Nowhere to buy in
Most of us hiding
Others are shining

You know when you find it
In your darkest hour, you strike gold
A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all

You know when you find it
In your darkest hour, you strike gold
A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all

Just another lesson learned...

You know when you find it
In your darkest hour, you strike gold
A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all

You know when you find it
In your darkest hour, you strike gold
A thought clicks, not the be-all end-all

Just another lesson learned...
Just another lesson learned...

Memories are just where you laid them
Drag the waters 'till the depths give up their dead
What did you expect to find?
Was there something you left behind?
Don't you remember anything I said when I said

Don't fall away, and leave me to myself
Don't fall away and leave love bleeding
In my hands, in my hands again
Leave love bleeding
In my hands, in my hands
Love lies bleeding

Oh hold me now I feel contagious
Am I the only place that you've left to go
She cries her life is like
Some movie black and white
Dead actors faking lines
Over and over and over again she cries

Don't fall away, and leave me to myself
Don't fall away, and leave love bleeding
In my hands, in my hands again
Leave love bleeding
In my hands, in my hands
Love lies bleeding

And I wanted
You turned away
You don't remember, but I do
You never even tried

Don't fall away and leave me to myself
Don't fall away and leave love bleeding
In my hands, in my hands again
Leave love bleeding
In my hands, in my hands
Love lies bleeding

What I believe is all that I am
Take it away, I'm only a man
Back from the dead and now it appears
I'll be the one to take back the fear

Kill or be killed, that isn't me
Maybe it's you dying to be
Somebody else. Man of the year
But I am the one to take back the fear

Don't want anything taken away
Taken away from me
It's all that I believe

Message of hate, fading away
My love and my failures "one in the same"
Now that I'm back, painfully clear
But I'll be the one to take back the fear

When it seems that everything was all a dream
Everything's not what it seems
Even I cannot believe in me easily

It starts with one thing; I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind; I designed this rhyme
To explain, in due time, all I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulumn swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away; it's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watched the time go right out the window
Tried to hold on, but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be
A memory of a time when

I tried so hard and got so far
But, in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But, in the end, it doesn't even matter

One thing; I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind; I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so far
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me in the end
You kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be
A memory of a time when

I tried so hard and got so far
But, in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But, in the end, it doesn't even matter

I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this, there's only one thing you should know

I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this, there's only one thing you should know

I tried so hard and got so far
But, in the end, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But, in the end, it doesn't even matter

The good life is what I need,
Too many people stepping over me;
The only thing that's been on my mind,
Is the one thing I need before I die...

All I want,
Is a little of the good life;
All I need,
Is to have a good time;
Ohhhh, the good life...
All I want,
Is a little of the good life;
All I need,
Is to have a good time;
Ohhhh, the good life...
(The good life)

I don't really know who I am,
It's time for me to take a stand;
I need a change and I need it fast,
I know that any day could be the last...

All I want,
Is a little of the good life;
All I need,
Is to have a good time;
Ohhhh, the good life...
All I want,
Is a little of the good life;
All I need,
Is to have a good time;
Ohhhh, the good life...

Hold on, hold on,
I always wanted it this way;
(You never wanted it this way;)
Hold up, hold up,
I always wanted it this way;
(You didn't ask for it this way;)
I always wanted it this way...

(The good life)

All I want,
Is a little of the good life;
All I need,
Is to have a good time;
Ohhhh, the good life...
All I want,
Is a little of the good life;
All I need,
Is to have a good time;
Ohhhh, the good life...
(The good life)

What have we done with innocence
It disappeared with time, it never made much sense
Adolescent resident
Wasting another night on planning my revenge

One in ten
One in ten
One in ten

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be a monkey wrench

All this time to make amends
What do you do when all your enemies are friends
Now and then I'll try to bend
Under the pressure wind up snapping in the end

One in ten
One in ten
One in ten

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be a monkey wrench

Temper
Temper
Temper

One last thing before I quit
I never wanted any more than I could fit into my head
I still remember every single word you said
And all the s*** that somehow came along with it
Still there's one thing that comforts me
Since I was always caged and now I'm free

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
(Fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench
(Fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench
(Fall in, fall out)
Don't want to be your monkey wrench

One time a thing occured to me
What's real and what's for sale?
Blew a kiss and tried to take it home

It isn't you, isn't me
Search for things
That you cant see
Going blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline

Two times and it has rendered me
Punch drunk and without bail
Think I'd be safer all alone

Flies in the vasoline we are
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep getting stuck
Here all the time

It isn't you, isn't me
Search for things
That you cant see
Going blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline

You'll see the look
And you'll see the lies
You'll eat the lies
And you will

Flies in the vasoline we are
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep getting stuck
Here all the time

It isn't you, isn't me
Search for things
That you cant see
Going blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline

Company, always on the run
Destiny, it's the rising sun
I was born a shotgun in my hand
Behind the gun I'll make my final stand
Yeah, that's why they call me

Bad company, I can't deny
Bad, bad company
Till the day I die
Until the day I die
Until the day I die

Rebel souls, deserters we've been called
Chose a gun and threw away the sun
Now these towns, they all know our names
The death punch sound is our claim to fame
That's why they call me

Bad company, I can't deny
Bad, bad company
Till the day I die
Until the day I die
Until the day I die

Eye for an eye
Tooth for a tooth
Blood for blood
We've all gotta die, we've all gotta die

And that's why they call me
Bad company, I wont deny
Bad, bad company
Until the day I die

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close no matter how far
It couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

I never opened myself this way hey
Life is ours, we live it our way hey
All these words I don't just say hey
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, yeah yeah!

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No nothing else matters.

(Look I know the supernatural is something that isn't supposed to happen, but it does happen.)
Jesus lived his life in a cheap hotel
on the edge of Route 66 yeah
He lived a dark and a twisted life and he came right back just to do it again
Eye for and eye and a tooth for the truth
I ain't never seen a demon warp dealin'
A ring-a-ding rhythm or jukebox racket
My mind can't clutch the feeling

YEAH!
DEVIL MAN, DEVIL MAN calling!
DEVIL MAN running in MY HEAD YEAH
DEVIL MAN, DEVIL MAN calling!
DEVIL MAN running in MY HEAD YEAH

Yeah hellhounds lead all the cowardly kings
And carry souls across the River Styx yeah
They see no evil and feel no pain
Sucking juice from a fallen angel
I dreamed I was a super nova f***er
Nitro-burning and fuel injection
Feed the gods a strychnine soul
A motherf***er of invention

YEAH!
DEVIL MAN, DEVIL MAN calling!
DEVIL MAN running in MY HEAD YEAH
DEVIL MAN, DEVIL MAN calling!
DEVIL MAN running in MY HEAD YEAH

Yeah inbreed the witches and worship the dogs
Deformed and f***in' lazy
Damn yourself and choke on my name, I'd love to love ya baby
Dead-ringer rats swinging in the trees
Immaculate conception
Bury me an angel, god I need some inspiration

DEVIL MAN, DEVIL MAN calling!
DEVIL MAN running in MY HEAD YEAH
DEVIL MAN, DEVIL MAN calling!
DEVIL MAN running in MY HEAD YEAH

Oh!

What I've got, you've got to give it to your mama

What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you
What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you
What I've got, you've got to get it put it in you
Reeling with the feeling; don't stop, continue

I realize I don't want to be a miser
Confide wisely you'll be the wiser
Young blood is the loving upriser
How come everybody wanna keep it like the kaiser?

Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
I can't tell if I'm a kingpin or a pauper

Greedy little people in a sea of distress
Keep your more to receive your less
Unimpressed by material excess
Love is free, love me, say "Hell, yes"

Low brow, but I rock a little know-how
No time for the piggies or the hoosegow
Get smart, get down with the pow wow
Never been a better time than right now

Bob Marley, poet and a prophet
Bob Marley, taught me how to off it

Goodness me, can't you see I'm gonna cough it?

Lucky me, swimmin' in my ability
Dancin' down on life with agility
Come and drink it up from my fertility
Blessed with a bucket of lucky mobility

My mom, I love her 'cause she love me
Long gone are the times when she scrub me
Feelin' good, my brother gonna hug me
Drink up my juice, young love chug-a-lug me

There's a river born to be a giver
Keep you warm won't let you shiver
His heart is never gonna wither
Come on, everybody, time to deliver

Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
I can't tell if I'm a kingpin or a pauper

Owww

My disposition is in a position for all to see
Regretless for how it feels
I got a bullet with a name on it
Bullet with a name

Because the cause for all, the pause you think you see
Is really concentration on the steel
I got a bullet with a name on it
Bullet with a name

See everybody watching and passing judjement
On every little move and decision I make
How can I be an individual with the weight of the world
With eight other planets to take?
And with everything happening
Gunshots clappin' and people all
Runnin' in every direction
With their hands up prayin for the drama to end,
I got my hand out lookin for some money to spend.

The price tags on the things I need are getting bigger by the day
I got a bullet with a name on it
Bullet with a name
The way I work so hard for things they just take away from me
I got a bullet with a name on it
Bullet with a name

I'm workin harder than a hundred black mules down in Mexico
No water, no clouds, no cover
From the hotter than Hell no dinner bell
Empty oven again from another bad opinion
I mean, who doesn't want the cars
Money, fame, attention, bars, honeys
Games, attention, stars?
Funny how we say we don't need it
Then turn around and try to achieve it

The price tags on the things I need are getting bigger by the day
I got a bullet with a name on it
Bullet with a name
The way I work so hard for things they just take away from me
I got a bullet with a name on it
Bullet with a name

Everything that they say about me
And everything that they make me need
Are nothing when they're taking everything away from me
Everyone trying to make it harder
And everyone saying I would never be
You're nothing but a name on the bullet that I aim...

The price tags on the things I need are getting bigger by the day
I got a bullet with a name on it
Bullet with a name
The way I work so hard for things they just take away from me
I got a bullet with a name on it
Bullet with a name

Well 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

Yeah
But it's on the table
The fire's cooking
And they're farming babies
The slaves are all working

Blood is on the table
The mouths are all choking
But I'm goin' hungry
Yeah

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

But it's on the table
The fire is cooking
And they're farming babies
The slaves are all working

And it's on the table
Their mouths are all choking
But I'm going hungry (Going hungry)
I'm going hungry (Going hungry)
I'm going hungry (Going hungry)
