Among the Living Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Disease, disease
Spreading the disease
With some help from Captain Trips
He'll bring the world down to his knees
Power, yes, power
He'll show them all his power
It pulses through his ice cold blood
A whole world to devour
[Pre-Chorus]
He's seeing, he's calling
His legacy he's spawning
He's coming, corrupting
Among the living
[Verse 2]
Murder, murder
Commit cold-blooded murder
Like Nazis during World War II
They only follow orders
Hatred, hatred
A crucifix is your bed
Once he turns his eyes on you
You'd be better off dead
[Pre-Chorus]
He's seeing, he's calling
His legacy he's spawning
He's coming, corrupting
Among the living
[Chorus]
I'm the walkin' dude
I can see all the world
Twist your minds with fear
I'm the man with the power
Among the living
Follow me or die
[Verse 3]
Man, fights man
Divided they can't stand
United they can battle back
And make him force his hand
Fear, yes, fear
His end is growing near
He didn't count on man's good faith
And their will to persevere
[Pre-Chorus]
He's seeing, he's calling
His legacy he's spawning
He's coming, corrupting
Among the living
[Chorus]
I'm the walkin' dude
I can see all the world
Twist your minds with fear
I'm the man with the power
Among the living
Follow me or die
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
Ahh
[Verse 4]
Fire, hot fire
Purge the world with fire
Damnation is the price he'll pay
For an evil man's desire
Good versus evil
The stand to vanquish evil
Man can only live one way
That place right in the middle
[Pre-Chorus]
He's seeing, he's calling
His legacy he's spawning
He's coming, corrupting
Among the living
[Chorus]
I'm the walkin' dude
I can see all the world
Twist your minds with fear
I'm the man with the power
Among the living
Follow me or die
[Outro]
Among, among, among, among
Among, among, among, among
Among, among, among, among
Among, among, among, among
Caught in a Mosh Lyrics
[Verse 1]
"Why don't you listen when I try to talk to you?
Stop thinking of yourself for just a second, fool
Shut up, shut up, I don't wanna hear your mouth
Your mother made a monster, now get the hell out of my house"
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't stand it for another day
I ain't gonna live my life this way
Cold sweat, my fists are clenching
Stomp, stomp, stomp the idiot convention
Which one of these words don't you understand?
Oh, caught in a mosh
Talking to you is like clapping with one hand!
[Chorus]
What is it? Caught in a mosh!
What is it? Caught in a mosh!
What is it? Caught in a mosh!
What is it? Caught in a mosh!
[Verse 2]
"Don't tell me how to do my job
There's the door, your name's on the knob
You're always in the way like a beast on my back
Were you dropped as a baby? 'Cause brain you lack"
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't stand it for another day
I ain't gonna live my life this way
Cold sweat, my fists are clenching
Stomp, stomp, stomp the idiot convention
Which one of these words don't you understand?
Oh, caught in a mosh
Talking to you is like clapping with one hand!
[Chorus]
What is it? Caught in a mosh!
What is it? Caught in a mosh!
What is it? Caught in a mosh!
What is it? Caught in a mosh!
[Bridge]
(Aw!)
"Think before you speak
Or suffer for your words
Learn to give respect that others give to you
Oh, the best you can do"
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
(Hey man);
I'm trying to reason, but you don't understand
Talking in circles, we'll never get it straight
Just you and me in our theater of hate
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't stand it for another day
I ain't gonna live my life this way
Cold sweat, my fists are clenching
Stomp, stomp, stomp the idiot convention
Which one of these words don't you understand?
Oh, caught in a mosh
Talking to you is like clapping with one hand!
[Chorus]
What is it? Caught in a mosh!
What is it? Caught in a mosh!
What is it? Caught in a mosh!
What is it? Caught in a mosh!
Efilnikufesin (N.F.L.) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It started back in high-school
So cool, king of the scene
You found that making people laugh
Was more than just a dream
The public took right to you
Like flies to a pile of shit
So funny and smart, so talented
But success just couldn't fit
[Pre-Chorus]
Wasting your life
No future is bright
Dancing on your grave
Living like a slave, someone should've said...
[Chorus]
N.F.L., Efilnikufesin
N.F.L
N.F.L., Efilnikufesin
N.F.L
Wake up dead in a plywood bed
Six feet from the rest of your life
And when you couldn't see your own dependency
N.F.L., nice fucking life!
[Verse 2]
The whole world is your playground
Yet you couldn't find your niche
Your only friends it helps you through
Helps you dig your daily ditch
The bottom line can't touch you
'Cause you're above the rest
Your little friend's the enemy
And the bottom line is death
[Pre-Chorus]
Wasting your life
No future is bright
Dancing on your grave
Living like a slave, someone should've said...
[Chorus]
N.F.L., Efilnikufesin
N.F.L
N.F.L., Efilnikufesin
N.F.L
Wake up dead in a plywood bed
Six feet from the rest of your life
And when you couldn't see your own dependency
N.F.L., nice fucking life!
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
You lived a life of excess
Goddamn shame it's such a waste
Just one too many cookies
From the batch no one should taste
Yet his memory still stays with us
'Cause watching him was fun
Too bad that things weren't different
Who knows what he'd have done
[Pre-Chorus]
Wasting your life
No future is bright
Dancing on your grave
Living like a slave, someone should've said...
[Chorus]
N.F.L., Efilnikufesin
N.F.L
N.F.L., Efilnikufesin
N.F.L
Wake up dead in a plywood bed
Six feet from the rest of your life
And when you couldn't see your own dependency
N.F.L., nice fucking life!
Imitation of Life Lyrics
[Intro]
There's nothing I hate more than all these plastic people
With all their plastic promises, and all their plastic deals
They just can't be themselves, and live their own lives out
They're just an imitation of what life's all about
[Verse 1]
"Because of me you are who you are
So sign your name, and you'll go far
I'm your friend, I think you should
So sign your name, it's for your own good"
How many times have you heard this today?
Some bogus piss-on saying "Let's do lunch babe"
For them this bullshit, it's their whole life
Cut through their bullshit with a knife (Imitation of life)
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Anger burns
[Chorus]
Whatever happened to the guy I knew
A media creation, a monster grew
Our story had an unhappy end
But this could change, I still call him friend
[Verse 2]
"Take my advice, and listen to me
A great opportunity, can't you see
I only want what's best for you
The deal of a lifetime, what more can I do?"
How many times have you heard this today?
Some stupid sucker says "It's great, we luv ya babe"
For them this bullshit, it's their whole life
Cut through their bullshit with a knife (Imitation of life)
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Anger burns
[Chorus]
Bands dress like women, with hairspray and lace
I'd pass an image law, stick it in their face
Let's see how long they keep dressing this way
Wearing this image twenty four hours a day...
[Interlude]
Did you ever think for yourself?
Just once, did you ever think?
That's all I want to know
[Bridge]
Imitation of life, living out a lie
You'll never be right, imitation of life
Why are you here?
You're taking up my space
The new imperfect race, imitation of life
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Anger burns
[Chorus]
Whatever happened to the guy I knew
A media creation, a monster grew
Our story had an unhappy end
But this could change, I still call him friend
[Verse 1]
There's nothing I hate more than all these plastic people
And all their plastic promises, and all their plastic deals
They just can't be themselves, and live their own lives out
They're just an imitation of what life's all about
[Outro]
Imitation of life
