Can you feel it, see it, hear it today?
If you can't, then it doesn't matter anyway
You will never understand it, 'cause it happens too fast
And it feels so good, it's like walking on glass
It's so cool, it's so hip, it's alright
It's so groovy, it's outta sight
You can touch it, smell it, taste it, so sweet
But it makes no difference 'cause it knocks you off your feet

You want it all, but you can't have it

It's cryin', bleedin', lyin' on the floor
So you lay down on it and you do it some more
You've got to share it, so you dare it
Then you bare it and you tear it

You want it all, but you can't have it (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's in your face but you can't grab it (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

It's alive, afraid, a lie, a sin
It's magic, it's tragic, it's a loss, it's a win
It's dark, it's moist, it's a bitter pain
It's sad, it happened, and it's a shame

You want it all, but you can't have it (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's in your face, but you can't grab it

What is it?

It's it
What is it?
It's it
What is it?

You want it all, but you can't have it (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

You gotta keep 'em separated

Like the latest fashion
Like a spreading disease
The kids are strappin' on their way to the classroom
Getting weapons with the greatest of ease
The gangs stake their own campus locale
And if they catch you slippin' then it's all over pal
If one guy's colors and the other's don't mix
They're gonna bash it up, bash it up, bash it up, bash it up

Hey - man you talkin' back to me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey - man you disrespecting me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey they don't pay no mind
If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time
Hey come out and play

By the time you hear the siren
It's already too late
One goes to the morgue and the other to jail
One guy's wasted and the other's a waste
It goes down the same as the thousand before
No one's getting smarter
No one's learning the score
Your never ending spree of death and violence and hate
Is gonna tie your own rope, tie your own rope, tie your own

Hey - man you disrespecting me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey - man you talkin' back to me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey they don't pay no mind
If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time
Hey come out and play

It goes down the same as the thousand before
No one's getting smarter
No one's learning the score
Your never ending spree of death and violence and hate
Is gonna tie your own rope, tie your own rope, tie your own

Hey - man you talkin' back to me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey - man you disrespecting me?
Take him out
You gotta keep 'em separated
Hey they don't pay no mind
If you're under 18 you won't be doin' any time
Hey come out and play

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

Transmission third world war third round
A decade of the weapon of sound above ground
Ain't no shelter if you're looking for shade
I lick shots at the brutal charade
As the polls close like a casket
On truth devours
A silent play in the shadow of power
A spectacle monopolized
The camera's eye on choice disguised
Was it cast for the mass who burn and toil?
Or for the vultures who thirst for blood and oil?
A spectacle monopolized
They hold the reins, stole your eyes
The fistagons bullets and bombs
Who stuff the banks
Who staff the party ranks
More for Gore or the son of a drug lord
None of the above f*** it cut the cord

Lights out guerilla radio
Turn that s*** up
Lights out guerilla radio
Turn that s*** up
Lights out guerilla radio
Turn that s*** up
Lights out guerilla radio

Contact I high jack the frequencies
Blockin' the beltway
Move on DC
Way past the days of bombin' MC's
Sound off Mumia Guan be free
Who got 'em yo check the federal file
All you pen devils know the trial was vile
All you pigs trying to silence my style
Off 'em all out that box it's my radio dial

Lights out guerilla radio
Turn that s*** up
Lights out guerilla radio
Turn that s*** up
Lights out guerilla radio
Turn that s*** up
Lights out guerilla radio
Turn that s*** up

It has to start somewhere
It has to start sometime
What better place than here
What better time than now

All hell can't stop us now
All hell can't stop us now
All hell can't stop us now
All hell can't stop us now
All hell can't stop us now
All hell can't stop us now

You're the dark to light
You're never satisfied
You only know things
That will fail to be
The pessimistic one
Who sees the end to come
Every joy is lost to tragedy

And still you wonder why
You cannot find your peace today
Cause you were meant to live
For so much more than this
Now if only you could see

You could be standing out in the sun
Still the rain's coming down
Rain's coming down
There ain't a cloud in sight still
Your heartbeat's cold and grey every day

You know it brings me down
The way you drag around
Your heavy heart just like a stone
Well keep your misery
Don't put it all on me
Cause I've got problems of my own

You could be standing out in the sun
Still the rain's coming down
Rain's coming down
So keep your cloud of darkness
And doom off my parade
Here today

And if I could you know
I'd set off a spark
I would burn it out
I would burn it all the way
And purify your jaded
Cold calloused heart
Someday, I'll find a way

-Solo-

You could be standing out in the sun
Still the rain's coming down
Rain's coming down
There ain't a cloud in sight still
Your heartbeat's cold and grey every day

You could be standing out in the sun
Still the rain's coming down
Rain's coming down
Someday I'll steal the spark
That will burn your doubt away
I'll find a way

Be what you wanna be
See what you came to see
Been what you wanna be
I don't like what I see

Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter will
Heaven beside you, hell within
And you think you have it still, heaven inside you

So there's problems in your life
That's f***ed up, and I'm not blind
I'm just see through faded, super jaded
And out of my mind

Do what you wanna do
Go out and seek your truth
When I'm down and blue
Rather be me than you

Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter will
Heaven beside you, hell within
And you wish you had it still, heaven inside you

So there's problems in your life
That's f***ed up, and I'm not blind
I'm just see through faded, super jaded
And out of my mind

Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter will
Heaven beside you, hell within
And you know you have it still, heaven inside you

So there's problems in your life
That's f***ed up, but you're not blind
You're just see through faded, overrated
And out of your mind

Come and give me that Wildfire!
The uncivilized sound that I love
The primitive, like a blaze style!
Consciousness vibes I and I know
The untamed flame that I desire!
Me want uncultivated Jah glow
Foolish intensity, versatile!
He'll fly the spirit high, take me higher!

One leads with the passion
The righteous will burn again
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire will never end

One leads with the passion
The righteous will burn again
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire never ends

I want to feel that Wildfire!
Irregular burning of the sun
Shining through, make you spit fire!
Savage combustion, let it go
Impetuous, fervor testifier!
Outlandish passions I know
Crucial rhythms no Denial!
Musical nation, Empire!

One leads with the passion
The righteous will burn again
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire will never end

One leads with the passion
The righteous will burn again
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire never ends

One leads with the passion
Tribal fire will never end
The righteous will burn again
Tribal fire will never end
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire will never end
Tribal fire will never end

One leads with the passion
The righteous will burn again
One bleeds everlasting
Tribal fire never ends

Pardon me while I burst.
Pardon me while I burst.

A decade ago, I never thought I would be
At twenty-three on the verge of spontaneous combustion; woe-is-me.
But I guess that it comes with the territory
An ominous landscape of never-ending calamity
I need you to hear, I need you to see
That I have had all I can take and exploding seems like a definite
Possibility to me

So pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me; they'll never be the same.

Not two days ago, I was having a look in a book
And I saw a picture of a guy fried up above his knees.
I said, "I can relate," 'Cause lately I've been
Thinking of combustication as a welcomed vacation from
The burdens of the planet Earth;
Like gravity, hypocrisy, and the perils of being in 3-D,
But thinking so much differently

Pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me; they'll never be the same

Never be the same, yeah.

Pardon me while I burst into flames.
Pardon me. Pardon me. Pardon me.

So pardon me while I burst into flames.
I've had enough of the world and its people's mindless games.
So pardon me while I burn and rise above the flame.
Pardon me, pardon me; they'll never be the same

Never be the same, yeah.

It must be your skin, I'm sinkin' in
It must be for real, 'cause now I can feel
And I didn't mind, it's not my kind
It's not my time, to wonder why
Everything gone white, everything's grey
Now you're here, now you're away
I don't want this, remember that
I'll never forget, where you're at

Don't let the days go by
Glycerine, glycerine

I'm never alone, I'm alone all the time
Are you at one, or do you lie
We live in a wheel, where everyone steals
But when we rise, it's like strawberry fields
If I treated you bad, you'd bruise my face
Couldn't love you more, you've got a beautiful taste

Don't let the days go by
Could have been easier on you
I couldn't change though I wanted to
Should have been easier by three
Our old friend fear and you and me
Glycerine, glycerine
Don't let the days go by, glycerine
Don't let the days go by
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Glycerine, glycerine
Oh, glycerine, glycerine

Bad moon whine again
Bad moon whine again
As she falls around me

I needed you more, we wanted us less
Could not kiss, just regress
It might just be clear, simple, and plain
Well that's just fine, that's just one of my names

Don't let the days go by
Could've been easier on you you you
Glycerine, glycerine
Glycerine, glycerine

I am at war with my absent mind
Fighting for peace and it's hard to find
Maybe tomorrow will be okay
Out of the wreck i rise today

It's easier to be medicated
Reality is i'm uneducated
Black or it's white and i'll call it gray
Out of the wreck i rise today

Fighting political ignorance
Sick of this religious impotence
Careful i don't put it on display
Out of the wreck i rise today

I want your body- i want your legs
I want your blood running through my veins
I want you to breathe every word i say
I refuse to live this way

I want to love the people you came to save
Take possession of the love you gave
I want to believe cause i know someday
Out of this world you're taking me

I am aware that im not alone
Fighting a war a little close to home
Maybe tomorrow will be okay
Out of the wreck i rise today
Out of the wreck i rise today
Out of the wreck i rise today
Out of the wreck i rise

Just another touch of your skin makes everything okay
Just a simple taste of your lips can steal my pain away
Every time that I look in your eyes I can see something’s killing you
So don’t fight what you’re feeling inside cuz I know you need this too
Let me be the one you use…
I’ll be you antidote, you be my cure for this cold and lonely night
Put our problems behind us and just for this moment pretend everything is alright
Let me use you…. And I’ll let you use me
Let me use you…. To forget these memories
I don’t even mind that we hide some things that are better left unspoken
Cant we just be selfish for one more night cuz some rules were ment to be broken
And I don’t know how we got here, but I know that I shouldn’t care
And despite what we think is wrong or right, We both know that I shouldn’t be here tonight… but it’s worth a try
(chorus)
…you’re like a drug and I am so addicted to you
But I cant let go even though I know I should, its true
(chorus)
Let me use you… like you want me to
Let me use you
You can use me… to forget these memories

Alone, listless -- breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl, violins -- center of her own attention
The mother reads aloud, child tries to understand it, tries to make her proud
The shades go down, it's in her head, painted room... can't deny there's something wrong

Don't call me daughter, not fit to -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me...

She holds the hand that holds her down
She will rise above...

Don't call me daughter, not fit to -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to be -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to be -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me...

The shades go down
The shades go down
The shades go...
Go...
Go...

Kelly won't kiss my friend Kassandra
Jessica won't play ball
Mandy won't share her friend Miranda
Doesn't anyone live at all?

Amanda won't leave me empty-handed
Got her number from a bathroom stall
Brandy just got way too much baggage
And that s*** just gets old

But I got a girl who can put on a show
The dollar decides how far you can go with her
She wraps those hands around that pole
She licks those lips and off we go
She takes it off nice and slow
'Cause that's porn star dancing

She don't play nice, she makes me beg
She drops that dress around her legs
And I'm sitting right by the stage
With this porn star dancing

Your body's lighting up the room
I want a naughty girl like you
There's nothing hotter than a...

Stacy's gonna save herself for marriage
But that's just not my style
She's got a pair that's nice to stare at
But I want girls gone wild

But I know a place, where there's always a show
The dollar decides how far you can go with her
She wraps those hands around that pole
She licks those lips and off we go
She takes it off nice and slow
'Cause that's porn star dancing

She don't play nice, she makes me beg
She drops that dress around her legs
And I'm sitting right by the stage
With this porn star dancing

Your body's lighting up the room
I want a naughty girl like you
Let's throw a party just for two
You know those normal girls won't do

She wraps those hands around that pole
She licks those lips and off we go
She takes it off nice and slow
'Cause that's porn star dancing

She don't play nice, she makes me beg
She drops that dress around her legs
And I'm sitting right by the stage
With this porn star dancing

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

I'm having trouble trying to sleep I'm counting sheep but running out As time ticks by And still I try No rest for crosstops in my mind On my own... here we go My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed Dried up and bulging out my skull My mouth is dry My face is numb F***ed up and spun out in my room On my own... here we go My mind is set on overdrive The clock is laughing in my face A crooked spine My sense dulled Passed the point of delerium On my own... here we go Somebody keep my balance I think Im falling off Into a state of regression The expiration date Rapidly coming up Its leaving me behind to rank Always move forward Going straight will get you nowhere There is no progress Evolution killed it all I found my place in nowhere Im taking one step sideways Leading with my crutch Got a f***ed up equilibrium Count down from 9 to 5 Hooray! were gonna die! Blessed into our extinction Always move forward Going straight will get you nowhere There is no progress Evolution killed it all I found my place in nowhere In nowhere In no-o-o-o-where..
