Keep the Faith Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mother, mother, tell your children
That their time has just begun
I have suffered for my anger
There are wars that can't be won
[Verse 2]
Father, father, please believe me
I am layin' down my guns
I am broken like an arrow
Forgive me
Forgive your wayward son
[Pre-Chorus]
(Everybody needs somebody to love)
Mother, mother (Everybody needs somebody to hate)
Please believe me (Everybody's bitchin' 'cause they can't get enough)
And it's hard to hold on when there's no one to lean on
[Chorus]
(Faith) You know you're gonna live through the rain
Lord, we've gotta keep the faith
(Faith) Don't you let your love turn to hate
Now we've gotta keep the faith
[Post-Chorus]
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Lord, we've gotta keep the faith
[Verse 3]
Tell me, baby, when I hurt you
Do you keep it all inside?
Do you tell me all's forgiven
Just hide behind your pride?
Yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
(Everybody needs somebody to love)
Mother, father (Everybody needs somebody to hate)
Please don't leave me
(Everybody's bleedin' 'cause the times are tough)
Well, it's hard to be strong when there's no one to dream on
[Chorus]
(Faith) You know you're gonna live through the rain
Lord, we've gotta keep the faith
(Faith) Don't you know it's never too late?
Right now we've gotta keep the faith
(Faith) Don't you let your love turn to hate
Lord, we've gotta keep the faith
[Post-Chorus]
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Oh, we've gotta keep the faith
Keep the faith
Keep the faith
Lord, we gotta keep the faith
[Bridge]
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I've been walkin' in the footsteps
Of society's lies
I don't like what I see no more
Sometimes I wish that I was blind
Sometimes I wait forever
To stand out in the rain
So no one sees me cryin'
Tryna wash away this pain
[Pre-Chorus]
Mother, father (Everybody needs somebody to love)
There's things I've done I can't erase
(Everybody needs somebody to hate) And every night we fall from grace
(Everybody's bitchin' 'cause they can't get enough) It's hard with the world in your face
(Everybody bleeds, everybody, keep the faith) Tryna hold on, tryna hold on
[Chorus]
(Faith) You know you're gonna live through the rain
Lord, you gotta keep the faith
(Faith) Don't you let your love turn to hate
Right now, we've gotta keep the faith
(Faith) Keep the faith, keep the faith (Tryna hold on, tryna hold on, yeah)
(Faith) (Ow!) Keep the faith, keep the faith
Everybody, keep the faith
(Faith) Keep the faith, keep the faith (Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Everybody needs somebody to love (Faith)
(Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Everybody needs somebody to hate
Everybody needs somebody to love (Faith)
(Oh, na-na, oh na-na)
Everybody bleeds, everybody, keep the faith (Oh!)
(Faith)
(Faith)

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead Lyrics
[Intro]
Hey, hey, hey!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
[Verse 1]
Seven days of Saturday is all that I need
Got no use for Sunday 'cause I don't rest in peace
I don't need no Monday or the rest of the week
I spend a lot of time in bed but, baby, I don't like to sleep, no
[Pre-Chorus]
I won't lie to you
I'm never going to cry to you
I'll probly drive you wild eight days a week
[Chorus]
Until I'm six feet under, baby, I don't need a bed
Gonna live while I'm alive, I'll sleep when I'm dead
'Til they roll me over, and lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive, I'll sleep when I'm dead, hey!
[Post-Chorus]
Alright!
Listen up
[Verse 2]
So you're lookin' for some action, I got got everything you need
Keep your motor runnin', baby, I was built for speed
This ain't no slumber party, got no time for catchin' z's
They'll say that that ain't healthy, well, then livin's a disease, uh
[Pre-Chorus]
We're never going to die, baby
Come on let me drive you crazy
We'll make every night another New Year's Eve
[Chorus]
Until I'm six feet under, baby, I don't need a bed
Gonna live while I'm alive, I'll sleep when I'm dead
'Til they roll me over, and lay my bones to rest
Gonns live while I'm alive, I'll sleep when I'm dead
Sleep when I'm dead, sleep when I'm dead
Gonna live while I'm alive, I'll sleep when I'm dead
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Seven days of Saturday is all that I need
Got no use for Sunday, because I don't rest in peace
I was born to live, you know I wasn't born to die
But if they party down in heaven, I'll be sure to be on time
[Chorus]
Until I'm six feet under, baby, I don't need a bed
Gonna live while I'm alive, I'll sleep when I'm dead
'Til they roll me over, and lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive, I'll sleep when I'm dead
I feel like I'm explodin', goin' out of my head
Gonna live while I'm alive, I'll sleep when I'm dead
'Til I'm six feet under, 'n' they lay my bones to rest
Gonna live while I'm alive, I'll sleep when I'm dead
Sleep when I'm dead, sleep when I'm dead
Gonna live while I'm alive, I'll sleep when I'm dead
[Outro]
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)

Bed of Roses Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of Vodka is still lodged in my head
And some blonde gave me nightmares
I think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead
[Verse 2]
With an ironclad fist, I wake up and French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head while we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and what you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all that I need
[Chorus]
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
Oh I wanna be just as close as
The Holy Ghost is
And lay you down
On a bed of roses
[Verse 3]
Well I'm so far away, that each step that I take's on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper
Baby, blind love is true
[Chorus]
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
Oh I want to be just as close as
The Holy Ghost is
And lay you down
On a bed of roses
[Bridge]
Well, this hotel bar's hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died
Ooh yeah
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 4]
Now as you close your eyes know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonight, I won't be alone
But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
I've got nothing to prove for it's you that I'd die to defend
[Chorus]
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
Oh I want to be just as close as
The Holy Ghost is
And lay you down
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as
The Holy Ghost is
And lay you down
On a bed of roses
If I Was Your Mother Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I was your mother
Would you let me hold your hand?
Would you say you were my baby?
Would you always be my friend?
If I was your mother
Could I teach you what's right?
Could I tell you stories, maybe tuck you in
And kiss you sweet goodnight?
[Chorus]
Oh, tell me what I've got to do
To make my life mean more to you
I could get so close it's true
If I was your mother
[Verse 2]
Would you always believe me?
Because I'd wake up in the middle of the night
Just to see if you need me
Tell me there's no other
With whom you're sharing your secrets
And would you tell me 'bout the boys
You been bringing home to meet me?
[Chorus]
Oh, tell me what I've got to do
To make my life mean more to you
I could get so close it's true
If I was your
Tell me who I've got to be
To make you a part of me
No one else you'd ever need
If I was your
Mother, mother
If I was your
Mother, mother
[Bridge]
When love is blood, you're never on trial
It don't get deeper than a mother and child
Oh baby, I got to get that close to you
[Chorus]
Tell me what I've got to do
To make my life mean more to you
I could get so close it's true
If I was yours
Tell me who I gotta be
To make you a part of me
There's no one else you'd ever need
If I was your
Mother, mother
If I was your
Mother, mother, yeah
Mother, mother
If I was your
Mother, mother
[Outro]
(If I was your mother, mother)
(If I was your mother, mother)
(If I was your mother, mother)
(If I was your mother)
(If I was your mother, mother)
(If I was your mother)
Fear Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I see you looking over your shoulder
Tell me who do you think's out there
You're reaching for your four leaf clover
But baby there ain't no luck down there
I swear that there's no heart in this city
It's here the slogan reads
"Do your time" everybody's doing their sentence
It's just there ain't nobody here
Who knows just what's the crime
[Pre-Chorus]
I watched my father live a lie here
I'd rather die than fade away
I read the rules
And yeah I know them
Still you ain't ever going to
Make me play the game of
[Chorus]
Fear
Fear
Fear
Fear
[Verse 2]
Running with the rats in this city
Makes you feel like you're a partner in crime
Girl, once you were young and pretty
Now won't you stop to watch that little girl die
Hey baby won't you stop and hear me
Just being here we're breathing heart attacks, yeah
We can run and chase
The setting sun, baby
We can run and we won't ever look back, no
[Pre-Chorus]
Take my hand I know we'll make it
I'll let nothing slow us down
I know you want to curse
This place but there's only
One thing that's stopping us now
[Chorus]
It's fear
Fear
Fear
Of a new thing
Fear
Fear
Fear
Of the brass ring
[Bridge]
You ain't one for taking chances
You work and live and you breathe that nine to five
Still that's what you call living, ha
Man, that's surviving to me
And surviving is living to die in
[Chorus]
It's fear
Fear
Fear
Of a new thing
Fear
Fear
Fear
Of the brass ring
[Outro]
Fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, fear
Fear
