Alone Against the World Lyrics
2 ContributorsAlone Against the World LyricsHe left home at 16, the days go by like years
He didn't get much schooling but he learned a lot on the road
He knows one thing, not to trust no one but himself
He hopes and prays, but he knows his days are numbered
Well, he hits the bottle to wipe out his fears
But no one's there to wipe away those whiskey tears
He's alone against the world
He wonders if his girl back home is missing him at all
He'd like to listen to her voice but he's too poor to call
He told her that he's send for her if he could get ahead
By now she's probably given him up for dead
Night after night he's all alone
Each step he takes, he's farther from home
There's no one to help him, his parents don't care
He stumbles through life on a wing and a prayer
He boards a bus in L.A., winds up in New Orleans
Bums a couple of cigarettes from a sailor in the depot
Steals a couple of purses and buys himself a dingy room
No matter where he stays, he knows his days are numbered
Well, he slams the needle to wipe out his fears
But there's no one there to wipe out those junkie tears
He's all alone against the world
He wound up in Raleigh with a bullet in his leg
'You should have seen the other guy' as all he had to say
Two bits away from help but he's afraid they will reuse his call
He knows his days are numbered
Stranded in the Midwest and he don't know where to go
The west coast cops are on his tail, the east is full of snow
He thinks, '4, 5, 6 more years of this, I'll lose my head
And a few more years of crazy, I'll probably end up dead
Oh god, I wish I was back home in my bed!'
Night after night he's all alone
Each step he takes is farther from home
There's no one to help him, his parents don't care
He stumbles through life on a wing an a prayer
(He's crying, He's dying)
It was only last year
That he turned seventeen
Now this ain't the life
That a young boy should lead
He's alone against the world!
Genius in Pain Lyrics
[Chorus:]
I'm a genius in pain, I'm a genius in pain
Try to keep a pace impossible to sustain
I'm a genius in pain, I'm a genius in pain
Well I've got to let the storm strike out of my brain
I'm a genius in pain, I'm a genius in pain
Said "Make no mistakes or it'll all go down the drain"
I'm a genius in pain, I'm a genius in pain
Said "Give me enough time and I'll go insane"
Ad Hoc, Ad Loc, Quid Pro Quo
So little time, so much to know
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
The fuses blow
Expecting mass obedience
So my life will go as planned
Is it my friend? Is it my foe?
Too many directions that I can go
[Chorus]
When I snap, my springs unwind
Will I take it out on you?
Can't you see the danger signs behind mine eyes?
Expecting mass destruction
If it doesn't go my way
Doesn't matter to me who lives or dies
Never, No, never will I compromise!
[Chorus]
Genius! - In pain!
Genius! - In pain!
Genius! - In pain!
Genius! - In pain! In pain! In pain! In pain!
Modern-Day Napoleon Lyrics
[Chorus:]
Search for the truth, wade through the lies
A smiling face is your disguise
Eye for a tooth, tooth for an eye
Abused out trust and broke our ties
Waste a week
Save a dime
Raping the scene, now you're a victim of the crime
Using us pawns for your games of complication
We suffered because of your ill procrastination
Lots of plans
None complete
Never would you, could you accept defeat
Kept us locked in a state of suspended animation
Didn't want to let go, clung on like a damn mutation
[Chorus]
Such a hawk
Not a dove
Do you really believe in the god above?
Took control when we found ourselves in sticky situations
Not a gesture of love, but self appreciation
Idleness
Webs of time
Treacheries you undermined
Now you find yourself in a sticky situation
We laugh as you drown in your own humiliation
[Chorus]
