Crowded streets are cleared away
One by one
Hollow heroes separate
As they run

You're so cold, keep your hand in mine
Wise men wonder while strong men die

Show me how it ends, it's all right
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
Well that's all right
Let's give this another try

If you find your family
Don't you cry
In this land of make believe
Dead and dry

You're so cold but you feel alive
Lay your hands on me one last time

Show me how it ends, it's all right
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
Well that's all right
Let's give this another try

Show me how it ends, it's all right
Show me how defenseless you really are
Satisfied and empty inside
Well that's all right
Let's give this another try

It's all right (x9)

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

Something takes a part of me
Something lost and never seen
Every time I start to believe
Something's raped and taken from me...from me

Life's got to always be messing with me
You wanna see the light
Can't they chill and let me be free?
So do I
Can't I take away all this pain?
You wanna see the light
I try to every night, all in vain...in vain

Sometimes I cannot take this place
Sometimes it's my life I can't taste
Sometimes I cannot feel my face
You'll never see me fall from grace

Something takes a part of me
You and I were meant to be
A cheap f*** for me to lay
Something takes a part of me

Feeling like a freak on a leash
You wanna see the light
Feeling like I have no release
So do I
How many times have I felt diseased?
You wanna see the light
Nothing in my life is free...is free

Sometimes I cannot take this place
Sometimes it's my life I can't taste
Sometimes I cannot feel my face
You'll never see me fall from grace

Something takes a part of me
You and I were meant to be
A cheap f*** for me to lay
Something takes a part of me

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

I did my time and I want out
So effusive, fade, it doesn't cut
The soul is not so vibrant
The reckoning, the sickening
Packaging subversion
Pseudo-sacrosanct perversion
Go drill your deserts, go dig your graves
Then fill your mouth with all the money you will save
Sinking in, getting smaller again
I'm done! It has begun - I'm not the only one!

And the rain will kill us all
Throw ourselves against the wall
But no one else can see
The preservation of the martyr in me

Psychosocial, psychosocial, psychosocial
Psychosocial, psychosocial, psychosocial

There are cracks in the road we laid
But where the devil fell
The secrets have gone mad
This is nothing new, but when we killed it all
The hate was all we had
Who needs another mess?
We could start over
Just look me in the eyes and say I'm wrong
Now theres only emptiness
Venomous, Insipid
I think we're done - I'm not the only one!

And the rain will kill us all
Throw ourselves against the wall
But no one else can see
The preservation of the martyr in me

Psychosocial, psychosocial, psychosocial
Psychosocial, psychosocial, psychosocial

*The limits of the dead!
The limits of the dead!
The limits of the dead!
The limits of the dead!

Fake anti-Fascist lie (psychosocial)
I tried to tell you but (psychosocial)
Your purple hearts are giving out (psychosocial)
Can't stop a killing idea (psychosocial)
If it's hunting season (psychosocial)
Is this what you want? (psychosocial)
I'm not the only one!

And the rain will kill us all
Throw ourselves against the wall
But no one else can see
The preservation of the martyr in me

*The limits of the dead!
The limits of the dead!

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

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)

You wired me awake
and hit me with a hand of broken nails
you tied my lead and pulled my chain
to watch my blood begin to boil

But I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run

Yeah, I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage
And run

Too cold to start a fire
I'm burning diesel burning dinosaur bones
I'll take the river down to still water
And ride a pack of dogs

But I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run

Yeah, I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage
And run

Hits like a Phillips head into my brain
It's gonna be too dark to sleep again
Cutting my teeth on bars and rusty chains
I'm gonna break my rusty cage
And run

When the forest burns along the road
Like God's eyes in my headlights
And when the dogs are looking for their bones
And it's raining ice picks on your steel shore

But I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run

Yeah, I'm gonna break
I'm gonna break my
I'm gonna break my rusty cage
And run

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

Say your prayers little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone
I tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the Sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to Never Never Land

Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White
Dreams of war dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to Never Never Land

Yeah-heah!

Now I lay me down to sleep
(Pray the Lord my soul to keep
(If I die before I wake
(Pray the Lord my soul to take
(
Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head

Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to Never Never Land

Boooooo!

Yeah, yeah!

Yo oh!

We're off to Never Never Land
(Take my hand)

We're off to Never Never Land
(Take my hand)

We're off to Never Never Land

We're off to Never Never Land

We're off to Never Never Land

Give me mercy and a minute now
I'm a bleed a little poison out
I'm a cry a little river down
And then I'm setting this whole thing on fire

And I'm burning up the night she died
And I'm putting every last picture aside
I'm gonna say what I need to say
In my very last letter to you

Cause you always made it clear
Said that you'd never be my pain
So here's to you and your bright baby blues
And just a pause to cool the refrain

And you said you were satisfied
And now this body's just waiting to die
And that you missed him sometimes but you said it's alright
It's just a whole lot harder alone

But I wish you knew her now
She's a better side of me now
And I'm doing the best I can
It's what you wanted

And I see you like you were there
And I know just how you'd smile
Mary, you looked just like it was 1930 that night

But here the days will eat you alive
But I won't give in tonight
You said it's not worth my time
And not to regard them

And not to settle just for piece of mind
But I can wait it out all night
If you'll just keep breathing

But Mary I found a sound
And this heart keeps pouring it out
And the glory hasn't come and it's probably gonna fade
Like a tattoo that hides the shame

And the reasons always fade
And the pain gets out some day
So I'm saying my goodbyes to your deep blue eyes
Cause I don't know how to say, "Stay still in the pain.
Stay still in the pain."

But I wish you knew her now
She's a better side of me now
And I'm doing the best I can
It's what you wanted

And I see you like you were there
And I know just how you'd smile
Mary, you looked just like it was 1930 that night

If I recall the last thing you said to me
Before it broke up, before it took you from me
And you said, "I love you more than the stars in the sky
But your name just escapes me tonight."

It's just one of those days
When ya don't wanna wake up
Everything is f***ed
Everybody sucks
You don't really know why
But you wanna justify
Rippin' someone's head off
No human contact
And if you interact
Your life is on contract
Your best bet is to stay away, motherf***er
It's just one of those days

It's all about the "he said, she said" bulls***
I think you better quit
Lettin' s*** slip
Or you'll be leavin' with a fat lip
It's all about the "he said, she said" bulls***
I think you better quit
Talkin' that s***

It's just one of those days
Feelin' like a freight train
First one to complain
Leaves with a blood stain
Damn right, I'm a maniac
You better watch your back
'Cause I'm f***ing up your program
And if you're stuck up
Your just lucked up
Next in line to get f***ed up
Your best bet is to stay away, motherf***er
It's just one of those days

It's all about the "he said, she said" bulls***
I think you better quit
Lettin' s*** slip
Or you'll be leavin' with a fat lip
It's all about the "he said, she said" bulls***
I think you better quit
Talkin' that s***
Punk, so come and get it

I feel like s***
My suggestion is to keep your distance
'Cause right now I'm dangerous
We've all felt like s***
And been treated like s***
All those motherf***ers who want to step up
I hope ya know I pack a chainsaw
I'll skin your ass raw
And if my day
Keeps goin' this way
I just might
Break somethin' tonight
I pack a chainsaw
I'll skin your ass raw
And if my day
Keeps goin' this way
I just might
Break somethin' tonight
I pack a chainsaw
I'll skin your ass raw
And if my day keeps going this way
I just might
Break your f***in' face tonight!
Give me stuff to break!
Give me stuff to break!
Just give me stuff to break!
How 'bout your f***in face!
I hope ya know I'm like a chainsaw (what)
A chainsaw (what)
A motherf***in' chainsaw (what)
So come and get it

It's all about the "he said, she said" bulls***
I think you better quit
Lettin' s*** slip
Or you'll be leavin' with a fat lip
It's all about the "he said, she said" bulls***
I think you better quit
Talkin' that s***
Punk, so come and get it

You take away
I feel the same

You take away
I feel the same
All the promises you made to me
You made in vain
I lost myself inside
Your tainted smile again

Chorus:
Cause you can't feel my anger
You can't feel my pain
You can't feel my torment
Driving me insane
I can't fight these feelings
They will bring you pain
You can't take away
Make me whole again

I feel betrayed
Stuck in your ways
And you rip me apart with the
Brutal things you say
I can't deal with this s*** anymore
I just look away

Chorus:
Cause you can't feel my anger
You can't feel my pain
You can't feel my torment
Driving me insane
I can't fight these feelings
They bring only pain
You can't take away
Make me whole again

Mudshovel (x8)

You take away
I feel the same
All these promises
You promised only pain
If you take away
And leave me with nothing again

Chorus:
Cause you can't feel my anger
You can't feel my pain
You can't feel my torment
Driving me insane
I can't fight these feelings
They bring me pain
You can't take away
Make me whole again


You will feel my anger
You will feel my pain
You will feel my torment
Driving you insane
I can't fight these feelings
They will bring you pain
You won't take away
I'll be whole again
Mudshovel (x8)
