Donāt Drag Me Down Lyrics
4 ContributorsDonāt Drag Me Down LyricsMike Ness has proclaimed this to be an anthem for those who donāt accept the current system:
This is a song about ignorance and racism and the astounding fact that it still exists. This song is also aboutā¦ Read MoreĀ Children are taught to hate
Parents just couldn't wait
Some are rich and some are poor
Others will just suffer more
Have you ever been ashamed
And felt society try to keep you down, I begin to watch things change
And see them turn around
Turn around
They'll try to keep you down
Turn around
Turn around
Don't drag me down
Ignorance is like a gun in hand
Reach out to the promised land
Your history books are full of lies
Media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
Have you ever been afraid
And felt society try to keep you down, I begin to watch things change
And see them turn around
Turn around
They'll try to keep you down
Turn around
Turn around
Don't drag me down
Ignorance is like a gun in hand, reach out to the promised land
Your history books
Are full of lies, media-blitz gonna dry your eyes
You're eighteen
Wanna be a man
Your granddaddy's in
The Klu Klux Klan
Taking two steps foward
And four steps back
Gonna go to the White House
And paint it black
Turn around
Turn around
They'll try to keep you down
Turn around
Turn around
Don't drag me
Down
Untitled Lyrics
5 ContributorsUntitled LyricsI'm heading down a lonely highway
I'm running down a one-way street
I wanna know, are you going my way?
Is there some place quiet where we can meet?
And friends they come and friends they go
But you were always by my side
And where it all ends I don't know
Don't cry no more, just hold on tight
There was a time when I was desperate
Living in a town without a name
And when things got so dark and desolate
You taught me how to hide my shame
And kings and queens and millionaires
May never know what I have known
And thank the stars I'm the lucky one
Thanks for the lessons that I have been shown
I feel rich, I feel power and security
And when I'm weak, you are strong
Once in a lifetime, twice in eternity
And guess what? Nothing else matters anyway
When the Angels Sing Lyrics
[Verse 1]
At last we meet again, dear God
Hear the angels sing
The funerals are nicer, when we know you're there
When the angels sing
Sometimes I try so hard
To understand the things you do
Who am I to question You
When it all comes down
Hear the angels sing?
[Chorus]
Stand up strong
Feel the pain
When the angels sing
Love and Death
Don't mean a thing
'Til the angels sing
[Verse 2]
The prisoners pray when they're on Death Row
Hear the angels sing
The junkie cries for love, but its all run out
When the angels sing
The sins of the world
And it's cold on the streets
When you're all alone
And the tears they start to fall
When it all comes down
Hear the angels sing
[Chorus]
Stand up strong
Feel the pain
When the angels sing
Love and death
Don't mean a thing
'Til the angels sing
Little by little
Day by day
I watch the children play
'Cause life and death
Don't mean a thing
'Til the angels sing
[Verse 3]
When the angel of death
Comes looking for me
Hear the angels sing
I hope I was everything
I was supposed to be
When the angels sing;
There's gotta be a heaven
'Cause I've already done
My time in hell
And a little baby's born
When it all comes down;
Hear the angels sing
[Chorus]
Stand up strong
Feel the pain
When the angels sing
Love and death
Don't mean a thing
'Till the angels sing
Little by little
Day by day
I watch the children play
'Cause life and death
Don't mean a thing
'Til the angels sing
Gotta Know the Rules Lyrics
5 ContributorsGotta Know the Rules LyricsSpent my whole life yeah lookin' for something
What it was I'm not really sure
I looked for happiness but only found sorrow
Then I realized how to unlock the door yeah yeah yeah
So you think you've got it figured out
It don't come easy maybe just for fools
Some say life is a struggle now it's a game now
Just gotta know the rules
Gotta know the rules
Most people go through life thinking
Take what you can and leave the weak behind
Never stop to think what you can give now
Too afraid to learn what you might find yeah yeah yeah
So you think you've got it figured out
It don't come easy maybe just for fools
Some say life is a struggle now it's a game now
Just gotta know the rules
Gotta know the rules
Spent my whole life yeah doing things my way
Doing unto others knowing it's wrong
When's the last time you looked in the mirror?
When's the last time you liked what you saw?
Yeah yeah yeah
So you think you've got it figured out
It don't come easy maybe just for fools
Some say life is a struggle now it's a game now
Just gotta know the rules
Gotta know the rules
Crown of Thorns Lyrics
4 ContributorsCrown of Thorns LyricsPretty much been alone now for almost five years
I could always find a way to hide these bitter tears
And still I'm a-waiting a-wishing somehow
I wish I knew then what I know now
It's no bed of roses
It ain't no crown of thorns
Better than lonely
I've been there before
Gotta bad reputation for playing with love
Gonna play again now and beat the odds above
And still I'm a-waiting and wishing somehow
I wish I knew then what I know now
It's no bed of roses
It ain't no crown of thorns
Better than lonely
I've been there before
Are you tired of being alone?
Or have you fallen out of love?
Do you care enough about yourself
I have worn your crown of thorns
It's no bed of roses
It ain't no crown of thorns
Better than lonely
I've been there before
It's no bed of roses
It ain't no crown of thorns
Better than lonely
I've been there before
Pleasure Seeker Lyrics
4 ContributorsPleasure Seeker LyricsWell here I come, I'm on a run
Who wants to fight temptation that's no fun
C'mon and play the games, don't you feel no shame
That's what Eve said to Adam before she came
You can smile now cry later on
You know that it might be wrong
But it feels so good
Like you know it would
There's damnation and disgrace
And guilt rears its ugly face
Yet you beg for more
Just a little more
Stand in line don't you lose your mind
Try like me to seek your pleasure three at a time
There's souls for sale, your're gonna burn in Hell
And if tomorrow never comes, its just as well
You can smile now, cry later on
You know that it must be wrong
But it feels so good
Like you know it would
There's damnation and disgrace
And guilt rears its ugly face
Yet you beg for more
Just a little more
Feel the pain! I feel it too
Have your hedonistic ways got the best of you?
Play the games, don't feel no shame
That's what Eve said to Adam before she came
You can smile now, cry later on
You know that it's definitely wrong
But it feels so good
Like you know it would
There's damnation and disgrace
And guilt rears its ugly face
Yet you beg for more
Just a little more
Under My Thumb Lyrics
6 ContributorsUnder My Thumb LyricsUnder my thumb's the girl
Who once had me down;
Under my thumb's the girl
Who once fucked me around
It's down to me
The way she talks when she's spoken to; down to me
Change has come, she's under my thumb
Under my thumb's
A squirmin' dog who's just had her day;
Under my thumb's
A girl who has just changed her ways;
It's down to me
The difference in the clothes she wears; down to me
Change has come, she's under my thumb
Under my thumb's
A siamese cat of a girl
Under my thumb's
The sweetest pet in the world
It's down to me
The way she does as wash your soul out of me;
Change has come, she's under my thumb
Under my thumb
Her eyes are just kept
To herself;
Under my thumb
Well, I
I can still look at someone else
It's down to me
The way she comes when I tell here to down to me;
Change has come, she's under my thumb
Yeah
