She calls me Goliath, and I wear the David mask
I guess the stones are coming too fast for her now
You know I'd like to believe this nervousness will pass
All the stones that are thrown are building up a wall

I have become cumbersome to this world
I have become cumbersome to my girl

I'd like to believe we could reconcile the past
Resurrect those bridges with an ancient glance
But my old stone face can't seem to bring her down
She remembers the bridges, burns them to the ground

I have become cumbersome to this world
I have become cumbersome to my girl

Too heavy, too light, too black or too white
Too wrong or too right, today or tonight
Cumbersome

Too rich or too poor, she's wanting me less
And I'm wanting her more
The bitter taste is cumbersome
No, yeah, no, no, no
No, no, no, yeah

There is a balance between two worlds
One with an arrow and a cross
Regardless of the balance, life has become
Cumbersome

Too heavy, too light, too black or too white
Too wrong or too right, today or tonight
Cumbersome

Too rich or too poor, she's wanting me less
And I'm wanting her more
The bitter taste is cumbersome
No, yeah, no, no, no
No, no, no, yeah
No, no, no, no
Yeah
Your life has become cumbersome

using your hands to murder to fasten minds
that feel no mercy and who knows us
who knows us?
bound by diversion rehearsed
endlessly through time hindered
your life is measured
by those inhibiting your mind

who's the scapegoat?
who is labeled?
who gnaws the desert
in frustration?
now who's the scapegoat?
who is labeled?
who gnaws the desert
in frustration?

(Solo - Werstler)

bound by
diversion rehearsed
endlessly through time hindered
your life is measured
by those inhibiting your mind

awe-inspired by murder
to trample dead
those who are subject to torture
and to hinder
to hinder

(Solo - Levi)

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

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

Met a girl, thought she was grand
Fell in love, found out first hand
Went well for a week or two
Then it all came un-glued

In a trap, trip I can't grip
Never thought
I'd be the one who would slip
Then I started to realize
I was living one big lie

She f***in' hates me
Trust
She f***in' hates me
La, la, la love
I tried too hard
And she tore my feelings like I had none
And ripped them away

She was queen for about an hour
After that, s*** got sour
She took all I ever had
No sign of guilt
No feeling pain, no

In a trap, trip I can't grip
Never thought
I'd be the one who would slip
Then I started to realize
I was living one big lie

She f***in' hates me
Trust
She f***in' hates me
La, la, la love
I tried too hard
And she tore my feelings like I had none
And ripped them away

That's my story, as you see
Learned my lesson and so did she
Now it's over, and I'm glad
'Cause I'm a fool for all I've said

She f***in' hates me
Trust
She f***in' hates me
La, la, la love
I tried too hard
And she tore my feelings like I had none
And ripped them away

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la love
Trust
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la love
Trust
La, la, la, la, la
And she tore my feelings like I had none
Trust
She f***in' hates me

In my eyes
Indisposed
In disguise as no one knows
Hides the face
Lies the snake
The sun in my disgrace
Boiling heat
Summer Stench
'Neath the black the sky looks dead
Call my name through the cream
And I'll hear you scream again

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come [x4]

Stuttering
Cold and damp
Steal the warm wind tired friend
Times are gone for honest men
Sometimes far too long for snakes
In my sh***
Walking sleep
In my youth I pray to keep
Heaven send hell away
No one sings like you any more

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come

Won't you come (Black hole sun, black hole sun) [x4]

Hang my head
Drown my fear
Till you all just disappear

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come

Black hole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the rain
Black hole sun
Won't you come
Won't you come (Black hole sun, Black hole sun) [x7].

To my mother, to my father
It's your son or, it's your daughter
Are my screams, loud enough for, you to hear me
Should I turn this up for you

I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you said
The silence, gets us nowhere
Gets us nowhere way too fast

Your silence, is what kills me
I need someone, here to help me
But you don't know, how to listen
And let me make, my decisions

I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you said
The silence, gets us nowhere
Gets us nowhere way too fast

All your insults, and your curses
Make me feel like I'm not a person
And I feel like, I am nothing
But you made me, so do something
'Cause I'm f***ed up, because you are
Need attention, attention you couldn't give

'Cause I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you said
The silence, gets us nowhere
Gets us nowhere way too fast

I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you said
The silence, gets us nowhere
Gets us nowhere way too fast

We are young!
But we have heart
Born in this world as it all falls apart
We are strong
We don't belong
Born in this world as it all falls apart

I see the children in the rain like the parade before the pain.
I see the love; I see the hate; I see this world that we can make!
I see life I see the sky. Give it all to see you fly...
Yes! we wave this flag of hatred, but you're the ones who made it!!
Watch the beauty of all our lies passing right before my eyes.
I hear the hate in all your words all the wars to make us hurt
We get so sick of so sick; we never wanted all this
Medication for the kids with no reason to live!

So we
March to the drums of the dammed as we come
Watch it burn in the sun - we are numb!

We are young!
But we have heart
Born in this world as it all falls apart
We are strong
we don't belong
Born in this world as it all falls apart

As we walk among these shadows, these streets, these field of battle
Take it up, we wear the medal, raise your hands with burning candles.
Hear us whisper in the dark hear in the rain u see the spark
Feel the beating of our heart fleeting hope as we depart
All together, walk alone against all we've ever known
All we've ever really wanted was a place to call our home
But you take all we are; the innocence of our hearts.
Make us kneel before the alter as you tear us apart!

So we
March to the drums of the dammed as we come
Watch it burn in the sun - we are numb!

We are young!
But we have heart
Born in this world as it all falls apart
We are strong
we don't belong
Born in this world as it all falls apart

We will fight or we will fall
till the angels save us all

We will fight or we will fall
till the angels save us all

We will fight or we will fall
till the angels save us all...

We are young!
But we have heart
Born in this world as it all falls apart
We are strong
we don't belong
Born in this world as it all falls apart

We are young!
But we have heart
Born in this world as it all falls apart
We are strong
we don't belong
Born in this world as it all falls apart

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

Don't let go.
Tonight, where did you go?
Your expression is familiar.

Sometimes I feel like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel like my only friend
Is the city I live in, the city of angels
Lonely as I am, together we cry

I drive on her streets, 'cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills, 'cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds, and she kisses me windy
Well, I never worry, now that is a lie

And I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way, yeah
Yeah, yeah

It's hard to believe that there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe that I'm all alone
At least I have her love, the city, she loves me
Lonely as I am, together we cry

Well, I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way

Well, I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
Yeah, yeah
Love me, I said
Yeah, yeah

One time

Under the bridge downtown
Is where I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away, yeah

Yeah, yeah
Oh, no, no, no
Yeah, yeah
Love me, I said
Yeah, yeah

Will I stay?

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

(Now this is what it's like when worlds collide
Now this is what it's like
Now this is what it's like when worlds collide
Now this is what it's like)

What is it really
That's going on here
You've got the system boards for total control
Now is there really anybody out there
Now watch us suffer cause we can't go
What is it really that is in your head
What little life that you had just died
I'm gonna be the one that's taking over
Now this is what it's like when worlds collide

Are you ready to go
Cause I'm ready to go
What you wanna do baby, baby
Are you going with me
Cause I'm going with you
It's the end of all time

What is it really that motivates you
The need to fly or this fear to stall
I'll go along when you realize*
When we get there I say 9 of 10 drop
Now who is the light and who is the devil
You can't decide so I'll be your guide
And one by one they will be hand chosen
Now this is what it's like when worlds collide

Are you ready to go
Cause I'm ready to go
What you wanna do baby, baby
Are you going with me
Cause I'm going with you
It's the end of all time

(You are a robot)

(Now this is what it's like when worlds collide
Now this is what it's like
Now this is what it's like when worlds collide
Now this is what it's like)

What is it really when they're falling over
Everything that you thought was denied
I'm gonna be the one that's taking over
Now this is what it's like when worlds collide

Are you ready to go
Cause I'm ready to go
What you wanna do baby, baby
Are you going with me
Cause I'm going with you
It's the end of all time

Are you ready to go
Cause I'm ready to go
What you wanna do baby, baby
Are you going with me
Cause I'm going with you
It's the end of all time

Are you ready
Cause I'm ready
It's the end of all time
Are you going
Yeah I'm going
It's the end of all time

There's a screened-in porch in the front, but not in the back. The back's just got a door and a crepe myrtle bush, and a little old dried-up garden, and some woods way on back. There's a hickory nut tree that covers the whole roof. Sounds like hand grenades hitting the tin roof all the time. There's an old wood floor that's bowed-up just about everywhere. It's got a thin coat of white stuff on it, even though it's a dark wood floor. There's a washing machine right outside the back door. It's a ringer washer, the kind they don't use any more. I got my hand caught it in several times and usually got my arse whipped for it, even though I was the one that got hurt. There's a snake stick, that's what they called it anyway, by the back door. 'Cause if you wanted to go outside, you'd usually need it. Everything's green most of the time, except in the winter when you could see the highway. It's not a leaf on the trees. There's an old rock well where we clean the squirrels. I used to sit out there by that and watch the Carbur girl come down the road.

She didn't have but one dress and that's all she needed. It was kind of red and kind of grey, kind of tore-up and kind of perfect. She was built like a brick s*** house. She had polish on her toenails, it only went about half-way down 'cause they was always tore-up. She used to walk across the side yard right by the well and go stand by the crepe myrtle bush and look in the screen door. She'd usually stand there for about ten minutes, and back then I wasn't sure what she wanted. These days I understand. If I'd have known then what I know now, well, my life might have been pretty different. Well, she was about eight or nine years older than I was when I first started school. I knew there was something. There's something about the south, the air is a lot heavier, and it seems like the women sweat, even when they're not.

I don't know if you've ever heard rain on a tin roof or not, but it's kind of tailor made for love. And one day I was in the house and I was looking back toward the back screen-door and there she was. Standing there for ten minutes. The only thing different this day is that my daddy went back there and talked to her. He told her she looked pretty. I thought the same thing, but there's something about the look in his eye that was a little different than the one I had in mine. And he walked outside and they went past the crepe myrtle bush and past the well and out into the green. And I walked to the back door and I watched for a long time. All I could see was trees. And after a time, I really couldn't count, and they came back out. And my daddy was walking way ahead of her, and she was kind of following, almost running. He acted like he didn't want to have anything to do with her and I was wondering why. Why would you be so happy going in and so down coming out? I don't know. That's what I thought then. He didn't act like she was so pretty any more. Now I think I get it. I think I've got it several times.

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

Come wit it now, come wit it now

The microphone explodes, shattering the molds
Either drop tha hits like de-la-o, or get tha f*** off tha commode
Wit tha sure shot, sure ta make tha bodies drop
Drop an don't copy, yo, don't call this a co-opt
Terror rains, drenchin', quenchin' tha thirst of tha power dons
That five-sided fist-a-gon
Tha rotten sore on tha face of Mother Earth gets bigger
Tha trigger's cold, empty ya purse

Rally round the family with a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family with a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family with a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family with a pocket full of shells

Weapons, not food, not homes, not sh***, not need
Just feed tha war, cannibal animal
I walk tha corner to tha rubble that used to be a library
Line up to tha mind cemetery now
What we don't know keeps tha contracts alive and movin'
They don't gotta burn tha books, they just remove 'em
While arms warehouses fill as quick as tha cells
Rally round the family, pockets full of shells

Rally round the family with a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family with a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family with a pocket full of shells
They rally round the family with a pocket full of shells
