"Sincerity"
 
Some people'll tell you all about it
They know everything there is to know
So they talk, talk, talk and everyone listens
It sounds real good, but the sincerity's missing

You try so hard to change the world
You'll be into something else next year
You try so hard but its just not there
Take a look at your own and change yourself

Everyone thinks that they've got all the answers
Everyone thinks that they've found the truth
But no one thinks that we could die tomorrow
Gotta make the right choice about the path that you follow

You try so hard to change the world
You'll be into something else next year
You try so hard but its just not there
Take a look at your own and change yourself

Seems okay but when I scratch your surface
I can see that your hearts not in it
yeah, yeah, yeah
You talk so much but you're saying nothing
You got good lines, but nobody's listening

Its a hard road when the world is against you
It seems that way from time to time
Well its probably just your imagination
True sincerity can be your salvation

You try so hard to change the world
You'll be into something else next year
You try so hard but its just not there
Take a look at your own and change yourself
Take a look at the world and change the future
Take a look at everything and start the change in yourself

"Reasons"
 
toxic landfill

to not look the other way
screaming for nothing
you're screaming for change
screaming for you
to not look the other way

matthew shepard

clinic bombings
people starving
human failure
feed us cancer

screaming for nothing
you're screaming for change
screaming for you
to not look the other way
screaming for nothing
you're screaming for change
screaming for you
to not look the other way

and I hope its not too late yeah

can't call ourselves human
its all over now

can't call ourselves human
its all over now
we can't call ourselves human
its all over now
we can't call ourselves human
its all over now
its all over now

"Goodbye For Now"
 
So many things that I didn't get to say
And you're so far away
But in my heart you will stay
There are no goodbyes
And there is no regrets
I miss you today
And I'm not over it yet

I'll see you soon again my friend
The times that we've shared been so genuine
Know that you had to go
But you'll tell me where you've been
'Cause I'll see you soon again my friend

When I see you I'll ask you, "Where have you been?"
There'll be so much to say
We won't know where to begin
We'll skateboard all day
And we'll drink all damn night
'Cause I know we'll meet up in the next life

I'll see you soon again my friend
The times that we've shared been so genuine
Know that you had to go
But you'll tell me where you've been
'Cause I'll see you soon again my friend

I think of sunny skies
And I know that you never wasted your time
I think of your laugh
And I think of your smile, and I cry
Waitin' for the day I'll see that smile on your face again
Holdin' on to the memories
'Cause brotherhood's forever my friend

But I know...
I'll see you soon again my friend
The times that we've shared been so genuine
Know that you had to go
But you'll tell me where you've been
'Cause I'll see you soon again my friend

And I'll see you soon again my friend
The times that we've shared been so genuine
Know that you had to go
But you'll tell me where you've been
'Cause I'll see you soon again my friend
Know that you had to go
But you'll tell me where you've been
'Cause I'll see you soon again my friend

"I Never Promised You A Rose Garden"
 
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
ran along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime.
When you take you gotta give so live and let live and let go oh oh oh oh
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden

I could promise you things like big diamond rings
but I don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
so you better think it over.
When it's sweet talking you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
but what would it matter.

So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can.

I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
but if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you go
but there's one thing I want you to know.
So look before you leap still waters run deep
and there won't always be someone to pull you out.
And you know what I'm talking about.

So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can.

"The Killing Blow"
 
What were you thinkning years ago
When you did what you did- and said I didnt know
Well I'm here now, my only chance gone,
seems funny to me how you've changed your song

But you can't take back the things you said,
and you cant take back, the things you did
Strange how you change when you get older
it's funny how the past comes back to haunt you

You had the support, and the support was you
I tried to make it work, i wish you had tried too
like a Dali abstract- it was all fucked up
now I'm dying in the gutter- down on my luck

But you can't take back the things you said,
and you cant take back, the things you did
Strange how you change when you get older
it's funny how the past comes back to haunt you

Stop what you're doing and think for a minute
If only for a moment it's better than nothing
and you'll see that we've got something
won't you see, that we've got something

But you can't take back the things you said,
and you cant take back, the things you did
Strange how you change when you get older
it's funny how the past comes back to haunt you

Maybe someday - We can heal the wounds
I'd like to think - That we can do that soon
Times have changed - The good times gone
But we can make it work - if we'll admit we're wrong
Yeah

But you can't take back the things you said,
and you cant take back, the things you did
Strange how you change when you get older
it's funny how the past comes back to haunt you

But you can't take back the things you said,
and you cant take back, the things you did
Strange how you change when you get older
it's funny how the past comes back to haunt you

"Steal This Record"
 
Neatly polished up package - Do you think you have it
Just a product dressed to impress
Did you press a plastic abscess
Is there anything left - Rhetoric uninspired theft
It's all burning with nothingness - I'm so sick of your voices

Riot - Rebellion for sale
Buy it - Devoid of anything real
Riot - Rebellion for sale

The revolution will be telivised - Bought and sold and advertized
Who's the real charlaton - The pusher man pushin - Or did the writer lie
your validity nullified - Do you consume the con - Do you sing along?

Riot - Rebellion for sale
Buy it - Devoid of anything real
Riot - Rebellion for sale

Riot - Rebellion for sale
Buy it - Devoid of anything real
Riot - Rebellion for sale

I'm not for sale no - I'm not for sale no

But are you buying - Are you selling - That's the question
Are you buying - Are you selling - That's the question
I'm not buying - Into and - I'm not buying - Into this

"Honor Among Thieves"
 
Runnin with the thieves yeah - And slumming with the rats
Been runnin fifteen years - You can never bring me back
We lived our lives hard - And we lived our lives fast - Fightin for the future
Still e struggle with our past - And we're still all outcasts

Cause this is the - Only life I know
When push comes to shove - Will I be left standing alone - Alone - Standing alone
We gave it our all - But was our all ever enough - Was it enough

Flew Through all th good times - And dragged through all the bad
These are the best friends - That I ever had
Living like paupers - We were runnin with the kings - Fighting like brothers
I wouldn't change a thing - No I wouldn't change a thing

Cause this is the - Only life I know
When push comes to shove - Will I be left standing alone - Alone - Standing alone
We gave it our all - But was our all ever enough - Was it enough

I got your back - And you've got mine
We can make a difference - It just takes some time

I got your back - And you've got mine
We can make a difference - It just takes some time

Cause this is the - Only life I know
When push comes to shove - Will I be left standing alone - Alone
Standing alone- We gave it our all - But was our all ever enough

Cause this is the - Only life I know
When push comes to shove - Will I be left standing alone - Alone
Standing alone- We gave it our all - But was our all ever enough - Was it enough

"It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)"
 
That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and
snakes, an aeroplane and Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world
serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs. Feed
it off an aux speak, grunt, no, strength, Ladder
start to clatter with fear fight down height. Wire
in a fire, representing seven games, a government
for hire and a combat site. Left of west and coming in
a hurry with the furies breathing down your neck. Team
by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped.
Look at that low playing! Fine, then. Uh oh,
overflow, population, common food, but it'll do. Save
yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs,
listen to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and
the revered and the right, right. You vitriolic,
patriotic, slam, fight, bright light, feeling pretty
psyched.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign
towers. Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself
churn. Locking in, uniforming, book burning, blood
letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate.
Light a candle, light a votive. Step down, step down.
Watch your heel crush, crushed, uh-oh, this means no
fear cavalier. Renegade steer clear! A tournament,
tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions,
offer me alternatives and I decline.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

The other night I dreamt of knives, continental
drift divide. Mountains sit in a line, Leonard
Bernstein. Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester
Bangs. Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! You
symbiotic, patriotic, slam book neck, right? Right.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel
fine...fine...

(It's time I had some time alone)

"Bleeding Heart"
 
Just a blank and empty store - Another number stuck in line
Generation gone nowhere
Are we all loosin our minds - Our minds

Things are fallin all down - Should we let the world fall apart
Fallin down all around - Won't let this world break my heart - No

This is the last time - I let the world - Get the best of me
Never - Break me - Never - Gonna take me alive

We humans live on misery - Born to punch the clock each day
Is there really freedom of speech - Or do we watch what we say - I say

Things are fallin all down - Should we let the world fall apart
Fallin down all around - Won't let this world break my heart - No

This is the last time - I let the world - Get the best of me
Never - Break me - Never
Gonna take me alive - You'll never take me alive

And my heart is all mine - And my mind is free
That's all the revolution - Revolution that I need

And my heart is all mine - And my mind is free
That's all the revolution - Revolution that I need

And my heart is all mine - And my mind is free
And the fire it burns - Deep inside of me

And my heart is all mine - And my mind is free
And the fire it burns - Deep inside of me

Freedom

I try to do all that I can - To make a better me
Change yourself and then the world
Always speak what you believe - I believe

This is the last time - I let the world - Get the best of me
Never break me - Never gonna take me

This is the last time - I let the world - Get the best of me
Never break me - Never gonna take me (alive)
You'll never take me alive
