Dear mother, can you hear me whinin'?
It's been three whole weeks since I have left your home
This sudden fear has left me tremblin'
'Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own
And I'm feeling so alone

Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slum, some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to Paradise

A gunshot rings out at the station
Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason, it's still now feeling like my home
and I'm never gonna go

Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slum, some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to Paradise

Dear mother, can you hear me laughin'?
It's been six whole months since I have left your home
It makes me wonder why I'm still here
For some strange reason, it's still now feeling like my home
and I'm never gonna go

Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes
Some call it slum, some call it nice
I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home
Welcome to Paradise

The hating and the waiting, hesitating
I just wanna be done with you
Faking for the taking but I'm waking…
Up to the fact that you're lying and denying
Justifying all the actions you take
It's pathetic and poetic

It's just SICK!
It's just SICK!

Is "compromise" something you don't understand?
You force your hand but my eyes are wide open
Caught in the web of your self-serving plan
Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open

Seeing is believing, now I'm leaving
All the damage is done
You've broken any notion of trust
Cause you're lying and denying
Justifying all the actions you take
It's pathetic and poetic

It's just SICK!
It's just SICK!

Is "compromise" something you don't understand?
You force your hand but my eyes are wide open
Caught in the web of your self-serving plan
Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open

Seeing is believing, now I'm leaving
All the damage is done

All the damage DONE!
(Solo)
All the damage DONE!

Is "compromise" something you don't understand?
You force your hand but my eyes are wide open
Caught in the web of your self-serving plan
Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open

Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open
(Force my hand…)
(Eyes are wide open…)

The lying and denying is just sick!
The lying and denying is just sick!
It's just sick!

I hold on so nervously, to me and my drink
I wish it was cooling me
But so far has not been good
It's been s***ty, and I feel awkward as I should
This club has got to be the most pretentious thing
Since I thought you and me
Well, I am imagining a dark lit place
Or your place, or my place

Well I'm not paralyzed but I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move because you're standing still
If your body matches what your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through me on my way to you

I hold out for one more drink, before I think
I'm looking too desperately
But so far has not been fun
I should just stay home, if one thing really means one
This club will hopefully be closed in three weeks
That would be cool with me
Well, I'm still imagining a dark lit place
Or your place, or my place

Well I'm not paralyzed but I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move because you're standing still
If your body matches what your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through me on my way to you

Well I'm not paralyzed but I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move because you're standing still
If your body matches what your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through me on my way to you

Not paralyzed but I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move because you're standing still
If your body matches what your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through me on my way to you

You'll probably move right through me on my way to you
You'll probably move right through me on my way to you.

Don't listen what your girlfriend says
She reads those magazines
They say you failed the test
And don’t have what she needs
I slither like a viper
And get you by the neck

I know a thousand ways
To help you forget about her
That b**** can eat her heart out

Love bites
But so do I
So do I
Love bites
But so do I
So do I
Love bites

I look so pale and vicious
You're foaming at the mouth
You suffered in the darkness
I’ll suck the pain right out
So come and taste the reason
Im nothing like the rest

I'll kiss you in a way
You'll never forget about me
That chick can eat her heart out

Love bites
But so do I
So do I
Love bites
But so do I
So do I
So do I

It takes you in and kicks you down
It chews you up and spits you out
It messes with your sanity
By twisting all your thoughts around
They say it’s blind
They say it waits
But every time it seals your fate
Now it's got you by the balls
And won't let go until you fall

I said hey love, I’ve had enough
I’ve felt pleasure without pain
My soul, you'll never die

Love bites
But so do I

-Solo-

Love bites
But so do I
So do I
Love bites
But so do I
So do I
So do I

Love bites
And so do I
So do I
Love bites
Love bites

Chill, light on my sight as my ego becomes
A funky child with some words on my tongue
Be like intake of breath and my mouth gets loose
So while I scatter my spit, I dream of juice
Have you ever made out in dark hallways
Displayed a kiss that made your day or say
Played a track from your record collection
It's your mix, congratulations

We've changed a lot and then some, some
You know that we have always been down, down
If I ever didn't thank you, you
Then just let me do it now

I bet you light up when we start the show
Follow me now very closely 'cuz I told you so
You know, we glow because we throw sun rays
Yeah we be freaky and we wanna stay

We've changed a lot and then some, some
You know that we have always been down, down
If I ever didn't thank you, you
Then just let me do it now

Lightning strikes, yo we be in that violent force of light
Guaranteed to turn it out as bad as dolemite
Because we're dope kid, change like a chameleon
And the channel whenever the wack show Real World is on
You know we dazzle like ghetto box boomin' battles
Rattle inside your head feel redeemed like cola bottles
Fall in love with your teachers, on the wax we are self made
Check the technique, 311 in L.A.

We've changed a lot and then some, some
You know that we've always been down, down
If I ever didn't thank you, you
Then just let me do it now

Keep my feet on the ground
Keep my head in the clouds
Electrified by the sound
Comes from the down, and
We've changed a lot and then some, some
You know that we've always been down, down
If I ever didn't thank you, you
Then just let me do it now

I need you and you need me
We make the perfect kind of misery
I help you and you help me
Become the one I swore I'd never be
The one that I don't ever want be

I like the way
you won't apologize
I like the way
you just demoralize
I like the way
you always roll your eyes
Someone as perfect as you
is hard to criticize

Suppress this hatred
I stand beside you while you soak it in
Spit on me I taste it
I love you more and you just fake it
I want you more and you just fake it

I like the way
you won't apologize
I like the way
you just demoralize
I like the way
you always roll your eyes
Someone as perfect as you
is hard to criticize

There's always something wrong, There's something I didn't do
There's always something I'm afraid I'm going to lose
There's nothing I can say, There's nothing I can do
No matter how hard I try I wake up next to you

I like the way
you won't apologize
I like the way
you just demoralize
I like the way
you always roll your eyes
Someone as perfect as you
is hard to criticize

I like the way
you won't apologize
I like the way
you just demoralize
I like the way
you always roll your eyes
Someone as perfect as you
is hard to criticize

It's hard to criticize (x4)

OoooooooOh!

I've had my share of one-night-stands
And I've seen it all
But you've got a hold on me
Right against the wall

Over the edge
You've got me
Over the edge
Head over heels

Over the edge
Over the edge

I never thought I'd see the day
When I would want you there
But nobody ever made me feel
The way when you call

Over the edge
You've got me
Over the edge
Head over heels

Over the edge
Over the edge

Over the edge
You've got me
Over the edge
Head over heels

Over the edge
Over the edge

I'm over the edge
I'm over the edge
Over the edge
Over the edge
Over the edge
Now I'm over the edge
Over the edge
Over the edge
Over the edge
Over the edge
Over the edge
Over the edge
I'm over the edge
Over the edge

I'm doing fine
Even though you preyed upon my mind
Been living a lie
Seems every day it eats me

Yeah and there's no resolution
Yeah but it makes me think twice
Yeah and I need retribution
You don't get it man I'm your pollution

I'm breathing sigh
In passing away I'll take my time
I'm still getting high
I love the way it feeds me

Yeah and there's no resolution
Yeah but it makes me think twice
Yeah and I need retribution
Just don't get it man I'm the solution now

You can't keep me down my friend
You can't keep me down my friend

I'm doing fine
Even though this hatred plagues my mind
I'm living a lie
But I love the way you need me

Yeah and there's no resolution
Yeah but it makes me think twice
Yeah and I need retribution
You don't get it man I'm your pollution

Yeah and there's no resolution
Yeah but it makes me think twice
Yeah now I need retribution
You don't get it man I'm the solution now

You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a god
Watch peoples heads a'roll
A'roll, a'roll

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Of destruction

Acting like a robot
It's metal brain corrodes
You try to take it's pulse
Before the head explodes
Explodes, explodes

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony
Of destruction

The earth starts to rumble
World powers fall
A'warring for the heavens
A peaceful man stands tall
Tall, tall

Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Just like the Pied Piper
Led rats through the streets
We dance like marionettes
Swaying to the symphony
Swaying to the symphony
Of destruction

Your world is an ashtray!
We burn and coil like cigarettes,
The more you cry your ashes turn to mud......

The nature of the leeches! The virgin's feeling cheated!
You've only spent a second of your life.....

My world is unaffected, there is an exit here,
I say it is and it's true.......

There is a dream inside a dream,
I'm wide awake the more I sleep,
You'll understand when I'm dead.......

I went to God just to see.....
and I was looking at me....
Saw heaven and hell were lies.....
When I'm God everyone-
-DIES! SCAR CAN YOU FEEL MY POWER?!
SHOOT, HERE AND THE WORLD GETS SMALLER!
SCAR, SCAR CAN YOU FEEL MY POWER?!
ONE, SHOT AND THE WORLD GETS SMALLER!

Let's jump upon the sharp swords,
Cut away our smiles
Without the threat of death
There's no reason to live, at all,

My world is unaffected, there is an exit here,
I say it is and it's true....

There is a dream inside a dream,
I'm wide awake the more I sleep,
You'll understand when I'm dead......

I went to God just to see....
and I was looking at me...
Saw heaven and hell were lies....
When I'm God everyone-
-DIES! SCAR CAN YOU FEEL MY POWER?!
SHOOT, HERE AND THE WORLD GETS SMALLER!
SCAR, SCAR CAN YOU FEEL MY POWER?!
ONE, SHOT AND THE WORLD GETS SMALLER!
SCAR, SCAR CAN YOU FEEL MY POWER?!
SHOOT, HERE AND THE WORLD GETS SMALLER!
SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT MOTHERFUCKER!
SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT MOTHERFUCKER......

Each thing I show you is a piece of my death!

No salvation, no forgiveness, (repeated)
(This is beyond your experience.....)
No salvation, no forgiveness, ("FORGIVENESS!" x 7)
No salvation, no forgiveness....

(applause)

(acoustic guitar)
I went to God just to see.....
and I was looking at me...
Saw heaven and hell were lies.....
When I'm God everyone-(exit acoustic guitar)
-DIES! SCAR CAN YOU FEEL MY POWER?!
SHOOT, HERE AND THE WORLD GETS SMALLER!
SCAR, SCAR CAN YOU FEEL MY POWER?!
SHOOT, HERE AND THE WORLD GETS SMALLER!
SCAR, SCAR CAN YOU FEEL MY POWER?!
SHOOT, HERE AND THE WORLD GETS SMALLER!
SCAR, SCAR CAN YOU FEEL MY POWER?!
ONE, SHOT AND THE WORLD GETS SMALLER!
SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT MOTHERFUCKER!
SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT MOTHERFUCKER!
SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT MOTHERFUCKER!
SHOOT, SHOOT, SHOOT MOTHERFUCKER!

In the morning as i rise put on my tracksuit and exercise
Me wan'fe fit me wan'fe fit -it fit-it fit fit
Walk on the road me nah trouble no one
Me nah eat no steak, me nah eat no ham
Grandma grew me as a vegetarian, music is my occupation..

Verse1:
Go inna de field dig some yam
Pick some corn use it make a sham
Schoolpickney come and get it fe nyam
Started to sing oh what a bam bam...

Chorus 2:
Look how me big, look how me strong
Say me must live long
Look how me big, look how me strong
Me a vegeterian (listen the song)

Verse 2:
New day, nottin changed - war on the tv and the front page
Still killin', poverty same. I don't want no part of the game
No! stockmarket droppin' again
Businessmen still poppin' champagne
Want your money back?! They're not gonna pay
- Freedom fighters lock'em away
No joke, it's time we focus
Through the bad times work out jump rope it
Feels hopeless, but it ain't over
Till the fat b**** sings, so we gotta choke her
Metaphore - get s*** out of your system!
Never pork get s*** out my kitchen
Vegetables they all in the mix and
To the chorus y'all better listen!

Chorus 2
Look how me big, look how me strong
Say me must live long (in Babylon)
No animal inna mi pan, no. Me strictly vegan

Chorus 1

Verse 3:
While you pumpin' your breaks I'm runnin' away
No escape, but my hunger is great
Aah, the people lovin' the way
I rub a dub and numbin' the pain
Oh! From Modern day to the Struggle tape
My music overthrow the government
The distance long, resistance strong
Head on with the business it's on
Push up, sit up - What's up, get up
Lot of things that we gotta get rid of
Bust up, live up - Go go, big up!
All my people that's not gonna give up
Everything's connected from your mental health to your physical
Eat good, work out, each one teach one, send for help and get busy y'all....

Chorus 2/ Chorus 1

Verse 4:
Use my money buy foo dand place

Don't want my pants drop off from my waiste
Don't wan feel high like me out of space
No man a come and cut out my throat
Tek my chain and go pop big sport
Him and him gal gon' sniff nuff coke
Laugh and a tek that fe big joke

Chorus 2/ Chorus 1

Fortune, fame; mirror vain; gone insane;
But the memory remains

Heavy rings on fingers wave
Another star denies the grave
See the nowhere crowd cry the nowhere tears of honor
Like twisted vines that grow
That hide and swallow mansions whole
And dim the light of an already faded prima donna

Fortune, fame; mirror vain; gone insane;
Fortune, fame; mirror vain; gone insane;
But the memory remains

Heavy rings hold cigarettes
Up to lips that time forgets
While the Hollywood sun sets behind your back
And can't the band play on?
Just listen, they play my song
Ash to ash, dust to dust, fade to black

Fortune, fame; mirror vain; gone insane;
Fortune, fame; mirror vain; gone insane;
Dance little tin goddess

(na-na-na-na....)

Drift away, fade away, little tin goddess
Ash to ash, dust to dust, fade to black

Fortune, fame; mirror vain; gone insane;
Fortune, fame; mirror vain; gone insane;
But the memory remains

Ash to ash, dust to dust, fade to black
But the memory remains

Yeah
Faded prima donna, yeah, yeah

Dance little tin goddess, dance

(na-na-na-na...)

Dear Mother, I love you
I'm sorry I wasn't good enough
Dear Father, forgive me, 'cause in your eyes, I just never added up
In my heart, I know I failed you, but you left me here alone

If I could hold back the rain, would you numb the pain
'Cause I remember everything
If I could help you forget, would you take my regrets
'Cause I remember everything

Dear Brother, just don't hate me for never standing by you or being by your side
Dear Sister, please don't blame me
I only did what I thought was truly right
It's a long and lonely road when you know you walk alone

If I could hold back the rain, would you numb the pain
'Cause I remember everything
If I could help you forget, would you take my regrets
'Cause I remember everything

I feel like running away; I'm still so far from home
You say that I'll never change, but what the f*** do you know
I'll burn it all to the ground before I let you in
Please forgive me; I can't forgive you now; I remember everything

If I could hold back the rain, would you numb the pain
'Cause I remember everything
If I could help you forget, would you take my regrets
'Cause I remember everything

It all went by so fast; I still can't change the past
I always will remember
Everything
If we could start again,
Would that have changed the end
We remember everything
Everything

"Superstition, fear, and jealousy."

Dead I am the one
Exterminating son
Slipping through the trees
Strangling the breeze
Dead I am the sky
Watching angels cry
While they slowly turn
Conquering the worm

Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula
Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula

Dead I am the pool
Spreading from the fool
Weak and want you need
Nowhere as you bleed
Dead I am the rat
Feast upon the cat
Tender is the fur
Dying as you purr

Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula
Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula

Do it baby, do it baby
Do it baby, do it baby
Burn like an animal

Dead I am the light
Dig into the skin
Knuckle crack the bone
Twenty-one to win
Dead I am the dog
Hound of hell you cry
Devil on your back
I can never die

Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula
Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula

Do it baby, do it baby
Do it baby, do it baby
Burn like an animal

Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula
Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula
Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches
I slam in the back of my Dragula
