Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria
The subliminal mind f*** America

Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who are meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

Well maybe I am the f***** America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia

Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who are meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

Don't want to be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information age of hysteria
It's going out to idiot America

Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who are meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

Censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, no friend of mine
Time won't keep us anymore
It's the usefulness of letting go
Your perfect plan has come and gone
Like the nuclear centuries' benefits

They say
You bought the same old trip
So innocent you're out of reach
You bought the same old trip

Lawful, vengeful, awful, friendship, misfits
Bits of feeling, thieving, fits inside revealing
Time to censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, no friend of mine

You bought the same old trip
So innocent you're out of reach (we don't mind the scope)
You bought the same old trip
Sigh of relief inside of a dream (we all lie)
You bought the same old

Censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, paid to
Censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, no friend of mine

You bought the same old trip
So innocent you're out of reach (we don't mind the scope)
You bought the same old trip
Sigh of relief inside of a dream (we all lie beyond)
You bought the same old trip

If I had to
I would put myself right beside you
So let me ask
Would you like that? Would you like that?

And I don't mind
If you say this love is the last time
So now I'll ask
Do you like that? Do you like that?

NO!

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place
In the diary of Jane
So tell me how it should be

Try to find out, what makes you tick
As I lie down, sore and sick
Do you like that? Do you like that?

There's a fine line, between love and hate
And I don't mind
Just let me say
That I like that! I like that!

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place
In the diary of Jane
As I burn another page
As I look the other way
I still try to find my place
In the diary of Jane
So tell me how it should be

Desperate I will crawl
Waiting for so long
No love, there is no love
Die for anyone
What have I become?

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place
In the diary of Jane
As I burn another page
As I look the other way
I still try to find my place
In the diary of Jane.

I. The Rover(Instrumental)


It was an April morning
When they told us we should go
And as I turn to you you smiled at me
How could we say no?
With all the fun to have
To live the dreams we always had
Woah the songs to sing
When we at last return again, yeah
Oh
Oh

Sending off a glancing kiss
To those who claim they know
To know the streets the seaman hears
The devil in his hole
Oh to sail away
To sandy lands and other days
Oh to touch the dream
Hides inside and never seen, yeah
Oh
Ooh

Into the sun the south the north
Lies the first of hope
Shackles of commitment fell
In pieces on the ground
Oh to ride the wind
To tread the air above the din
Oh to laugh aloud
Dancing as we fought the crowd, yeah
Oh oooh

To seek the man whose pointing hand
The giant step unfolds
With guidance from the curving path
That churns up into stone
If one bell should ring
In celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat
As proud the head with heavy feet, yeah
Ooooh

Oh, yeah


Oh, yeah
Here we go
Wanted to know, oh, oh
Sing out hare, hare, oh
Dance the hoochie koo
The city lights
Oh so bright
As we go sliding
Sliding, sliding, sliding
Through
Oooh
Oooh
Oh, all right

Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On they fight, for the right, yes, but who's to say?
For a hill, men would kill, why? They do not know
Stiffened wounds test their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

Take a look to the sky just before you die
It is the last time he will
Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see, what will be, blinded eyes to see

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

Down under the night sky
I lay in wait
Praying to whoever will listen to me.
I'd fashioned my own cross,
Been crushed by it's weight
There's no stronger message
Then dirt in your face.

I've seen down the end of the road
Now i deal in a different story, oh
And i will never go back again
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I'll do this on my own. (o-o-oh bones, bones o-oh)

They say the spirit's willing
But the flesh is always weak
Well I found everything i needed right beneath my skin -oh

I've seen down the end of the road
Now i deal in a different story, oh
And i will never go back again
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I'll do this on my own.

[Instrumental]

We're all architects in our own private hell.
No one can hurt us like we've hurt ourselves.

I've seen down the end of the road
Now i deal in a different story, oh
I will never let go again
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I feel it in my bones, bones, bones
I know i'm not alone (o-oh bones, bones o-oh no)

Hey I'm feelin' tired
My time is gone today
You flirt with suicide
Sometimes that's okay
Do what others say
I'm here standing hollow
Falling away from me
Falling away from me

The day is here fading
That's when I'm insane
I flirt with suicide
Sometimes kill the pain
I can't always say
It's gonna be better tomorrow
Falling away from me
Falling away from me

Beating me down
Beating me beating me
Down, Down
Into the ground
Screaming some sound
Beating me beating me
Down, Down
Into the ground

Falling away from me
It's spinning round and round
Falling away from me
It's lost and can't be found
Falling away from me
It's spinning round and round
Falling away from me
Throw it down

Beating me down
Beating me beating me
Down, Down
Into the ground
Screaming some sound
Beating me beating me
Down, Down
Into the ground

Trust in me
Then walk away
So I pray
Go away

Life's falling away from me
It's falling away from me
Life's falling away from me
F***!

Beating me down
Beating me beating me
Down, Down
Into the ground
Screaming some sound
Beating me beating me
Down, Down
Into the ground
Falling away from me
Beating me beating me
Falling away from me
Down, down
Into the ground
Falling away from me
Screaming some sound
Beating me, beating me
Falling away from me
Down, Down
Into the ground.

We're bleeding over gold that's black
Honesty, integrity, things you lack
Leading the sheep
All along believers
Now know that they were wrong
We!
We know!
About!
All your f***ing lies!
And now!
We want!
To hear the truth!
Moment of truth
Leave behind your paper trail
You're a rat
We can see your tail
Questioning you about all your lies
Remove your spine
You run and hide
It's the moment of truth

Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater

You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I was too dead to care
If indeed I cared at all
Never had a voice to protest
So you fed me s*** to digest
I wish I had a reason
My flaws are open season
For this, I gave up trying
One good turn deserves my dying

You don't need to bother
I don't need to be
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

Wish I died instead of lived
A zombie hides my face
Shell forgotten with its memories
Diaries left with cryptic entries

And you don't need to bother
I don't need to be (I don't need to be)
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on
I won't let go 'til it bleeds

You don't need to bother
I don't need to be (I don't need to be)
I'll keep slipping farther
But once I hold on (once I hold on)
I'll never live down my deceit.

This little one tries as hard as she can
Do anything just so she could fit in
She wants a friend so bad
She’ll do whatever they tell her

To make them smile she would misbehave
But all the while they would laugh at her face
She begins to cry
Because she thought that they liked her

Even though you feel all alone
It can’t rain everyday, it don’t rain forever
Your sunshine maybe gone I know
It can’t rain everyday, it don’t rain forever

He works hard everyday of his life
For his son on the way and his beautiful wife
But today he got a call from his job
They got something to tell him

They laid him off now he’s out on the streets
He’s got to do what it takes so his family can eat
Can’t even look at his wife
'Cause he feels like he failed them

Even though you feel all alone
It can’t rain everyday, it don’t rain forever
Your sunshine maybe gone but I know
It can’t rain everyday, it don’t rain forever

It don’t rain, it don’t rain forever
It can’t rain, it don’t rain forever

Rain down, rain down, rain down
So let it rain down, rain down, rain down
Rain down on me now

A young lady’s been lost for awhile
But that’s okay now she’s having a child
She finally got what she wants
She’s got someone who loves her

But this morning she woke up in pain
Nobody had to tell her 'cause she knew right away
So she started to cry
Because she won’t be a mother

Even though you feel all alone
It can’t rain everyday, it don’t rain forever
Your sunshine maybe gone but I know
It can’t rain everyday, it don’t rain forever

It don’t rain, it don’t rain forever
It can’t rain, it don’t rain forever

Rain down, rain down, rain down
Rain down on me
Rain down, rain down, rain down

Such a beautiful color you wear upon your skin
And a perfect shade of purple on a flower permanent
And i'm constantly reminded of a past that never bloomed
As i set behind these bars only silence fills the room

I've never been down this road before
As the days go by i only miss you more
I thought one day we would touch the sky
Never grow up and never going to die
I never knew what you meant to me
Until i tried drowning out your memory
But it burns red like it's not over
It only hurts when i'm sober

Such a beautiful color i wear upon my skin
And a perfect shade of purple on a flower permanent
And i'm constantly reminded of how i should have changed
And now i can't stop thinking about the love that slipped away
It slipped away

I've never been down this road before
As the days go by i only miss you more
I thought one day we would touch the sky
Never grow up and never going to die
I never knew what you meant to me
Until i tried drowning out your memory
But it burns red like it's not over
It only hurts when i'm sober

Your all that i ever wanted
Your all that i ever needed
And now i'm spending a lifetime
Drowning without you
I'm starting over and over again

Such a beautiful color you wear upon your skin
And a perfect shade of purple on a flower permanent

I've never been down this road before
As the days go by i only miss you more
I thought one day we would touch the sky
Never grow up and never going to die
I never knew what you meant to me
Until i tried drowning out your memory
But it burns red like it's not over
It only hurts when i'm sober

I've never been down this road before
As the days go by i only miss you more
I thought one day we would touch the sky
Never grow up and never going to die
I never knew what you meant to me
Until i tried drowning out your memory
But it burns red like it's not over
It only hurts when i'm sober

It only hurts when it's over

Some say the end is near
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this
Bulls*** three ring circus sideshow of

Freaks here in this hopeless f***ing
Hole we call L.A.
The only way to fix it is to
Flush it all away
Any f***ing time, any f***ing day
Learn to swim
See you down in Arizona Bay

Fret for your figure
And fret for your latte
And fret for your lawsuit
And fret for your hairpiece
And fret for your Prozac
And fret for your pilot
And fret for your contract
And fret for your car
It's a bulls*** three ring circus sideshow of

Freaks here in this hopeless f***ing
Hole we call L.A.
The only way to fix it is to
Flush it all away
Any f***ing time, any f***ing day
Learn to swim
See you down in Arizona Bay

Some say a comet will fall from the sky
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves
Followed by fault lines that cannot sit still
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dips***s

And some say the end is near
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this

Stupid s***
Silly s***
Stupid s***

One great big festering neon distraction
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied

Learn to swim
Learn to swim
Learn to swim

Mom's gonna fix it all soon
Mom's coming 'round to put it back the way it oughta be

Learn to swim
Learn to swim
Learn to swim
Learn to swim

F*** L. Ron Hubbard
And f*** all his clones
F*** all these gun-toting
Hip gangster wanna-bes

Learn to swim
Learn to swim
Learn to swim
Learn to swim
Learn to swim
Learn to swim
Learn to swim

F*** retro anything
F*** your tattoos
F*** all you junkies
And f*** your short memory

Learn to swim
Learn to swim
Learn to swim
Learn to swim
Learn to swim
Learn to swim
Learn to swim

F*** smiley glad-hands with hidden agendas
F*** these dysfunctional, insecure actresses

Learn to swim
Learn to swim
Learn to swim
Learn to swim

'Cause I'm praying for mayhem
I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way
I wanna watch it all go down

Mom, please flush it all away
I wanna see it go right in and down
I wanna watch it go right in
Watch you flush it all away

Yeah, time to bring it down again
Yeah, don't just call me a pessimist
Try and read between the lines
And I can't imagine why you wouldn't welcome any change, my friend

I wanna see it come down
Plug it down
Suck it down
Flush it down

Looking around
Wondering what this is for
Sure it's fine but i don't think i need this anymore
I took down my self appearance
And i found the definate clearance
I'm getting bored
inspiration is drained
Till i see your face is boredom
beside me...

:Chorus:
Feel this
Once one more to
Make sure its not a dream
I can't stand here any longer
Please don't wake me up
Your such a perfect dream
of all i ever...
Wanted at all

Bringing me down
A flow as the glass hits the floor
Shattered pieces
It's not what it used to be anymore
Rided it out on broken pieces
Tell me now what is your thesis
I need it more
To make it through the day
Till i see your face is boredom
beside me.....

:Chorus:

I never met this dream...
Reality
Once I fall inside of you
Again its so hard
To keep my mind off of you
To keep my arms off of you

So unreal
So sureal

But,You're just a dream
You're far away
Boredom will follow around me again
