Let It Go by Toto

Staring death between the eyes
Doesn't seem so far away
So much pain in long goodbyes
There is much I need to say

You've been shadowing my door
A tempest wind that never dies
Every sorrow washed ashore
No more tears to fill my eyes

[Chorus]
Let it go
Gonna make your life whole
Let it go

Time to lose the crooked smile
Cast your grief upon the ground
Got no time for vain illusion
Cause it's killin me inside

[Chorus]

You should know
It might be the anger you hide
Your pride
Maybe someone has stepped on your pride
Every night
It'll keep you awake every night when you're old
Your heart
Your heart has been painfully bruised
Something to lose
You still might have soething to prove
Let it go
Is it worth all the time you misuse for your sad demise

When there's vengeance in your heart
What comes next is up to you
Better to think before you start
Or you can dig that grave for two

[Chorus]
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]

You should know
It might be the anger you hide
Your pride
Maybe someone has stepped on your pride
Every night
It'll keep you awake every night when you're old
Your heart
Your heart has been painfully bruised
Someone to lose
You might still have someone to prove
Let it go
Is it worth all the time you misuse for your sad demise

Simple Life

Days feel so lone
My life seems short as years go by
The chance that I took
The feeling so strong I had to try
All of the pain I left behind

Been down the road
My heart has been sold
The price was deep
The world that we have
The wish that we've made is ours to keep
All our emotions are so deep
'Cause I can't stop
Falling in love with you

All I want is a simple life
All I really want is you
All I want, all I need is a simple life...

Hooked

Gimme some beer,
Gimme some fear,
Reality and fame

Money from you
Money for them
Billions being made

You think you got a real deal
All you're buyin' is a fifth wheel
They gotcha by the ying yang
More dollar for the big bang

And when you have to have it
Somehow you always find away,
You'll find a way
Then it becomes a habit
You'll rob your late friend's grave

It's sex, it's drugs,
And then we all fall down
Get hooked,
On life
Or join the underground

It's oil, it's guns,
Bad guys we never see
It's war, dead sons,
Be all that you can be

Give it a spin
Maybe you'll win
Nobody's gettin paid

Lightin it up
Shootin it up
Ya really should be afraid

You're lookin' for a new chin
So they tighten up your old grin
All you wanna do is fit in
So they're gonna make you real thin

It's just enough to tease you
They nail you right between the eyes
Nail you right between the eyes

Somehow it will disease you
While you're lobotomized

It's meds, it's feds,
Don't need no PhD's
Load down, those sounds,
We love our MP3's

It's cribs, it's cars
Mercedes BNZ
It's abs, it's carbs
Stop super-sizing me!

It's sex, it's drugs,
And then we all fall down
Get hooked,
On life
Or join the underground

It's crips, it's bloods
It's pimped out S.U.V.'s
It's court, prime time
Those lawyer S.O.B.'s

It's X, It's crack
It's glass and A.D.D.
It's cool, it's wack
I'll pay you back

Your kick, you prick
You get the first one free
You're cuffed, you're hooked,
You're hooked.

No End In Sight

The curse of blood
Falls upon this nation
I wash my hands
And hang my head in shame
I pray for peace
And forge the crooked valley
This dreader fear
Held prisoner inside me

Chorus

I search the stars, still I find
No rhyme or reason
I can't see a thing
That's gonna make it right, oh make it right
You're still walking at midnight
Alone with voices in your mind
You see the world in black and white
You know until you see the light
There ain't no end, no end in sight

I can't justify
The cleansing of society
The human race
It ain't no race at all
I breach the flood
Of political insanity
Where hope once stood
Is filled with lies and shame

Chorus

Spiritual Man

I heard about a man, walkin' on the water
He had hope in his eyes
He didn't wear a crown or have any money
He didn't have any lies

He had holes in his pockets
He had holes in his hands
He looked like an outlaw talkin' to his lover

He was a spiritual man

I wanna be a prince, not a king or a warrior
I wanna have a special light in my eyes
Wanna climb up a mountain, find a tree of wisdom
I wanna feel good when I cry

And maybe someday I could be a teacher
I want that karma when you touch my hand
I'll walk through the streets,
Talking to the homeless in winter

I wanna be a spiritual man, yeah

I heard about a man who was born in the desert
He rode for days and nights across the sand
And one day, he came upon an angel
The angel said, "Hey you, you're gonna be a spiritual man!"

Instrumental Break

Last night I saw a man walkin' toward a club in Harlem
He had a black case in his hands
Went through the back door and pulled out his gold companion
He closed his eyes and played all night LONG like a self-taught spiritual man

Taint Your World

Screaming at the sun and I might have spilled a little moonshine on my head
Didn't have to run, but there was no one left behind 'cept for the dead

I didn't see it comin', but that rummy-stilted crackpot knew my game
Left my head a'hummin', like a ball peen hammer drives a nail to shame

I suggest you listen up to what I have to say
Witnessed many crooked things, I smell your DNA
Stab me, take me down, you know you'll never get your way

Taint your world
You're so far away from where you think you need to be
Taint your world
Cause you don't want to fuck with me

Didn't anybody get the cipher from that flying rat machine
Gnarly, little, scrunched up, tiny fingers, and its disposition mean

Anybody out of line will soon be on the list
My back's against the wall and yet I know I must resist
Time to tell the truth, I think somebody's gettin' pissed

Taint your world
You're not even close to where you think you need to be
Taint your world
You got another guess comin' if you think you're foolin' me

Instrumental Break

Taint your world
So far away from where you think you need to be
Taint your world
Where I belong just like an oyster and a pearl
Taint your world
You're not even close to where you think you need to be
Taint your world
Taint your world
