Armageddon Down

Eve and Adams apple pie was the start of our creation
and Beegeesus was brought to life by the holy masturbation
Josef and Mary Christmas mess gave birth to the son of a bitch
and the three wise guys they came along to make Beegeesus rich
Old grandpa Satan went to Helen then he took her right back
he said i'm gonna get on down with it and make this lady fat
he committed the act of godomy with this satanic nun
and out came a child all wet and wild call Belsebubblegum

Some saints are and some saints ain't by far as sane as me
Some saints are and some saints ain't by far as sane as me
Armageddon with it, Armageddon down with it

Beegeesus turned water into wine and then he made a deaf man blind
he fed the mass with fish and bread and then five thousand people said
bread is bread but whale ain't fish how you gonna get it on my dish
I don't know Beegeesus said let's eat something else instead

Chorus

Beegeesus and Belsebubblegum are money takers
the cheapest kind of holy rollercoaster bookie makers
so Judas kiss my ass goodbye and leave your sins behind
Beegeesus please do something good and pass me down the wine

Chorus

Two Sides

There's nothing a god can give to me that I can't give to myself
I put my beliefs in the things I believe and a god can take care of himself
There's not enough love in the world for me to think about wasting my time
It's not that I don't believe at all but I don't need a heavenly sign
I can achieve the things I need without getting down on my knees
I can respect your religion but I don't want to pay your fees
I don't want to hear you talk about the things you think that I need
so don't help me back on my feet again until you can hear me plead
Just look in the holy book of crooks and tell me what you can find
All the rules and the regulations made to manipulate your mind
Don't pretend that you're blind just open your mind and study historical times
The bigger the loss the bigger the cost the bigger the cross and its crimes

I don't believe in a god that I need to worship
I don't believe that I need to get down on my knees
I don't believe that a voice from above can help me
I only believe in what I can see and the things that I can achieve

Whatever belief you belong to there's still always a reason to doubt
and there's always another opinion as to what life is all about
There's always a bigger dimension and a different point of view
so I don't want to try to change you that decision is up to you
Whatever your final choice is and however you choose to live

You'd better be happy for what you can get and happy for what you can give
There's only one thing to remember there is only one thing you can do
and that is to do unto others as you'd have others do unto you

Chorus

Two sides two sides to every story
two stories more makes four new ones to choose
Four sides four sides to every story
four stories more makes eight new ones to choose
Eight sides eight sides to every story
eight stories more now which one should you choose
now which one can you use

Chorus

Hold Your Head Up

Burn your bridges, bite your tongue
dig your own grave what's done is done
What's in your head what's on your mind
time will tell don't look behind
What I keep inside my head is stuck right on my mind
and time will tell if I should look behind

Hold your head up, hold your head up high
Hold your head up, hold your head up high
Hold your head up, hold your head up high
Hold your head up, put up or shut up

Two steps forward and one step back
the time will come when you lose track
Speak your mind or sell your soul
Stand tall or fall down in a hole
I've got to speak my mind before I sell my soul
I've got to stand for what I am before I fall

Chorus

It's to late I guess what's done is done
I'd rather dig myself a grave than bite my tongue
so I take two steps forward and then one step back
I'm not afraid of losing faith I'm scared of losing track

Chorus

Biggest & the Best

Nobody is perfect but I'm pretty fucking close
and I'm here to give you all a heavy heavenly dose
I think you'd better listen 'cos I know who you are
and I think that you should treat me like a superstar
because I'm more than just a human I'm a gift to all of you
and I'm here to make sure that my message gets through
I wonder if you're really all as dumb as you look
or are you smart enough to learn the rules in my book
I hope you understand that the knowledge I bring
puts me in the position of a god or a king
'cos I'm blessed with the gift of the magic touch
and I wouldn't say that I'm asking for to much
all you have to do is get down on your knees and pray
and I promise you the remedy is on its way
but you can never be like me so don't waste your time
because I reign supreme and my position is divine

What's wrong with being self possessed?
Nobody's satisfied with being second best
I've got the gift and I know that I'm blessed
and I've got to get it off my chest

I'm the biggest the best better than the rest, better than the rest
I'm the biggest the best better than the rest, better than the rest
I'm the biggest the best better than the rest, better than the rest
I'm the biggest the best better than the rest, better than the rest
I'm not afraid of competition 'cos I know that I'm the best
and you haven't got a chance to even pass my little test
Even if you wanted to you couldn't pay the price
there ain't no room for losers in my perfect paradise
'cos life is always based upon the weight of your success
so I'll make sure that I get the most and nothing less
If I love myself then everyone will love me to
and there's nothing you can do for me that I can't do

Chorus

So welcome to my kingdom and enjoy your little stay
Even if you can't afford it I'll still make you pay
so you'd better come and get it and enjoy it while you can
don't tell me that you're dumb enough to think I give a damn
I couldn't care less about what you achieve
and there's only one thing that you have to believe
the only thing important that you have to understand
is that no matter what you say it's still a god I really am

Chances

Are you satisfied with everything the way it is
Are you stuck in the conformity of minding your own biz
Does a confrontation make you want to turn and run
and do you think about the things you'd like to have undone
Are you scared of looking back at all the things you've said
and do you keep the words you'd like to say inside your head
well nothing changes by itself without some kind of clash
and there's always gonna be some barriers to smash

Are you scared to be, scared of what you see
Are you scared to change, scared to rearrange
There's a chance that you never take the chances you get

If you never move ahead you'll keep on looking back
the only thing you're doing is just filling out the cracks
Another coat of artificial paint won't change a thing
unless the whole foundation gets a brand new colouring
What is there to lose except some insecurity
that you replace with faith to not be scared of what you see
'cos every little risk you take breaks down another wall
the biggest chance that you can take is just to let it fall

Are you scared to be, scared of what you see
Are you scared to change, scared to rearrange
There's a chance that you never take the chances you get
There's a chance you haven't taken any chances yet

Don't Wake Me Up

Everyone is happy in your favourite dream
It's a pleasant surprise with all your favourite scenes
just like a beautiful day without a cloud in the sky
and the only thing to blind you is the sun in your eyes

When your body's asleep all your thoughts are awake
travelling through stories that your mind likes to make
Take a look around, enjoy what you feel
is it just imagination or is everything real

Don't wake me up I want to dream
Don't wake me up I want to dream
I want this dream to last forever
Don't wake me up I want to dream
I want this dream to last forever
Don't wake me up

The skies are getting cloudy there's a storm on the way
The vision's disappearing in a strange kind of way
The perfect little picture that you paint in your head
is a distant memory when you get out of bed

Don't wake me up I want to dream
Don't wake me up I want to dream
I want this dream to last forever
Don't wake me up I want to dream
I want this dream to last forever
Don't wake me up before I understand what everything means
why does somebody always come and wake me up from my dreams

Chorus

Not Even You

How come all the things you say just don't make sense to me
Why do we spend so much time just refusing to agree
If you say you like something you know I'll say I don't
and when you want to do something that's fun you know I won't
Why is it always my turn to take care of this mess
I don't think it's fair to say I'm always doing less
You don't know what I do so I don't think you should moan
and if you're so much better you can do it on your own

Nobody loves me like I do, not even you
Nobody needs me the way I do, not even you
Nobody knows what I'm going through, not even you

You always make me feel like everything I do is wrong
and things would be much easier if we could get along
but every time I criticize you you overreact
please don't tell me one more time that opposites attract
that has to be the biggest fucking lie I've ever heard
Don't tell me to shut my mouth I haven't said a word
You're the one that started it and you know that I know
so what's the use there's no excuse you know that no means no

Chorus

Is there really any point in working this all out
all we ever do these days is fight and scream and shout
Maybe we should give it up and just call it a day
I can't think of anything I even want to say
I've done my share of caring and it isn't any good
I'm sick and tired of feeling like I've been misunderstood
so give me one good reason and I'll stay right here with you
I can't take another day I don't know what to do

Chorus

Nobody Knows

Let's all pretend that we're stupid and dumb
and that nobody knows where it's all coming from
I've got a whole lot of questions that I'm never gonna ask
I don't want to know what's behind your mask
I've got a life of my own it's hard enough as it is
without having to listen to your personal biz
If we all keep quiet it could be ideal
'cos I don't want to know how you feel

Nobody nobody knows, nobody shows it if nobody knows it
Nobody nobody knows, nobody blows it if nobody knows it
Nobody nobody knows, nobody knows it until you expose it
Nobody nobody knows
so don't open your mouth if you don't know how to close it

It's a god damn pity I don't know what the use is
for all of your good for nothing lame excuses
It's complicated makes me frustrated
brings everything out in me I've always hated
Instead of pretending that we always agree
Why don't you just tell me what you think about me
because we all want to leave but nobody wants to go
'cos everybody knows we all know

Chorus

Everybody knows what I'm talking about
all the little white secrets that never come out
All the things that we do and the things that we say
in this stupid little game called life we play
I don't want to hurt you so I don't want to know
what you're thinking about and where you're going to go
I don't want to stick my nose in anybody's affairs
I don't want to know and who cares

Chorus
