Session Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't know when it got this way
I don't know how long she's going to stay
Every week, it's the same, in her room
And that's why I came
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh, here I go, I go again
Our rendezvous never seem to end
I know where I'll be, I'll make this confession
Back in her bed for another goddamn
[Chorus]
Session
I'll never learn
Session
God knows I try
Session
Keep coming back for session
And I don't know why
Session
I'll never learn
Session
I'll never see
Session
Just tell me why these sessions got a hold on
Got a, got a hold on me
[Verse 2]
Some might say it's a fling
For all I know, it don't mean a thing
Either way, I can't complain
Ain't no strings
Guess I got it made
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, here I go, I go again
Our little things never seem to end
I know where I'll be, I'll make this confession
Back in her bed for another goddamn
[Chorus]
[Pre-Chorus 2]
[Chorus]
We Are One Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We are one with ourselves
We don't give a shit about no one else
Well, it won't be long
Until our day in the sun is going to stop
The walls come tumbling down
[Chorus]
We are one
We are free
We are headed for obscurity
We are one
We are weak
We are going to make ourselves extinct
[Verse 2]
We are one
You know it's true
Don't fuck with us or we'll fuck with you
It's a mentality that kills the best
We'd better stop
The walls come tumbling down
[Chorus]
We are one
We are free
We are headed for obscurity
We are one
We are weak
We are going to make ourselves extinct
[Verse 3]
We are one, and it won't be news
When we hang ourselves with one collective noose
Well, it won't be long
Until our day in the sun is going to stop
The walls come tumbling down
[Chorus]
We are one
We are free
We are headed for obscurity
We are one
We are weak
We are going to make ourselves extinct
[Outro]
Bigger they come, harder they fall (woah)
Bigger they come, harder they fall (woah)
Bigger they come, harder they fall (woah)
Bigger they come, harder they fall (woah)
Bigger they come, harder they fall (woah)
Bigger they come, harder they fall (woah)
Kick Him When He’s Down Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, you're a riddle I say as I move aside
Like I really need your advice
But you won't leave it alone
Little men try but don't get a lot done
Living in sin don't move me either way
I get a feeling you're so vague
Like I said before
Little men come when anything goes
[Chorus]
When the rain comes I sit home and pray
Make it all numb I wish it all away
All I really need is just somewhere to hide away
(Kick him when he's down)
Here alone I'll put up and fight
(Kick him when he's down)
Beat me all the way I'll take it all night
(Kick him when he's down)
Hey, don't worry, I'll get along home alright
It's all right
[Verse 2]
Hey, everybody's supposed to be the same
So how come they're so lame?
It's like taking a fall
Keep on running back into that wall
Awake in a dream, get up and go to work
But I'm feeling like such a jerk
Like I said before
Little men come when everything goes
[Chorus]
When the rain comes I sit home and pray
Make it all numb I wish it all away
All I really need is just somewhere to hide away
(Kick him when he's down)
Here alone I'll put up and fight
(Kick him when he's down)
Beat me all the way I'll take it all night
(Kick him when he's down)
Hey, don't worry, I'll get along home alright
It's all right
[Verse 3]
Hey, you're a riddle I say as I move aside
Like I really need your advice
But you won't leave it alone
Little men try but don't get a lot done
Living in sin don't move me either way
I get a feeling you're so vague
Like I said before
Little men come when anything goes
[Chorus]
When the rain comes I sit home and pray
Make it all numb I wish it all away
All I really need is just somewhere to hide away
(Kick him when he's down)
Here alone I'll put up and fight
(Kick him when he's down)
Beat me all the way I'll take it all night
(Kick him when he's down)
Hey, don't worry, I'll get along home alright
It's all right
(So believe it!)
Here alone I'll put up and fight
(So believe it!)
Beat me all the way I'll take it all night
(Believe it!)
Hey, don't worry, I'll get along home alright
It's alright
Alright
Alright
Take It Like a Man Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When you won't go along
Some will feel like you can't find your way
Heaven knows
Heaven knows I've seen it all before
Now don't get me wrong
I've seen many a life gone astray
When someone goes
All your bows won't make it any better so let it go
[Chorus]
Shut up and take it like a man
You need us to get a life
For your own good we'll take you by the hand
'Cause you need a little more
[Verse 2]
Maybe no one will say it
Maybe no one's aware it goes on
All I know
All I know it's like going off the deep end
Could you make a decision?
Could you think for yourself and go on?
Everyone knows
Everyone knows you've got to fit into the mainstream so save your woes
[Chorus]
Shut up and take it like a man
You need us to get a life
For your own good we'll take you by the hand
'Cause you need a little more
[Verse 3]
Close your eyes
Look away now
Make believe while you can
[Chorus]
Shut up and take it like a man
You need us to get a life
For your own good we'll take you by the hand
'Cause you need a little more
So you'd best go along
Don't let on if you can't find your way
Many more
Many more do it for you
Because heaven knows
Heaven knows it's like playing with fire
Your life's a throw
Get It Right Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been told that to get what you want
You just got to give what you can
But I know for what I want, it don't come as easy as that
Look out, boy
Tomorrow comes and things will look better by then
But I'll look out the window
Then look in the mirror at the same old me again
[Chorus]
Still can't get it right
Still can't get it right
Still can't get it right
And for all I know
I swear I never will
[Verse 2]
Do you think you'd sell your soul
To just have one thing turn out right?
For the thousandth time you turn and find
That it just makes no difference to try
Like Holden Caulfield, I tell myself
There's got to be a better way
Then I lay in bed and stare at the ceiling
Dream of brighter days
[Chorus]
Still can't get it right
Still can't get it right
Still can't get it right
And for all I know
I swear I never
[Bridge]
No way out
Same old stuff always drags me down
No way out
Never going to get up, get on
No way out
Get it right, now
No way out
No way out
No way out
No way out
[Chorus]
Still can't get it right
Still can't get it right
Still can't get it right
And for all I know
I swear I, swear I
Never never never never
Dirty Magic Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In my own simple way
I think she wants me only
She said "come over right away"
But she's just not that way
Her little soul is stolen
See her put on a brand-new face
[Chorus]
Pull the shades
Razor blades
You're so tragic
I hate you so
But love you more
I'm so elastic
The things you say
The games you play
Dirty magic stuff
[Verse 2]
I should know better than
To think I'd reach inside her
It's all a cloudy kind of daze
She's not so sweet today
She mocks me, I'm no fighter
It all just seems like such a waste
[Chorus]
Pull the shades
Razor blades
You're so tragic
I hate you so
But love you more
I'm so elastic
The things you say
The games you play
Dirty magic stuff
[Bridge]
It's oversimplified
It's oversimplified
It's oversimplified
[Chorus]
Pull the shades
Razor blades
You're so tragic
I hate you so
But love you more
I'm so elastic
The things you say
The games you play
Dirty magic stuff
Hypodermic Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When you're feeling low
Hypodermic's where you go
When you're with yourself
You wish you could be someone else
[Chorus]
Can't you see like you saw anymore?
Can't you feel like you felt before?
Can't you face anything anymore?
When life's a waste
Run away, yeah
Your life's a waste
Run away, yeah
Run away, yeah!
[Verse 2]
Once you get a ride
Doesn't matter where you lied
Once you shoot it in
Doesn't matter who you've been
[Chorus]
Can't you see like you saw anymore?
Can't you feel like you felt before?
Can't you face anything anymore?
When life's a waste
Run away, yeah
Your life's a waste
Run away, yeah
Run away, yeah!
[Verse 3]
Oh, you're reaching in
But you don't know where to begin
All your dance and song
Won't matter when you're gone
[Chorus]
Can't you see like you saw anymore?
Can't you feel like you felt before?
Can't you face anything anymore?
When life's a waste
Run away, yeah
Your life's a waste
Run away, yeah
Run away, yeah!
Run away yeah
Run away yeah
Run away yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Burn It Up Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I think I'm burning up inside
I think I'll take a little ride
I'm going to light up everything in sight, oh
Yeah, I'll drive on by your yard
And throw a Molotov cocktail at your car
Then another one in the local bar
[Chorus]
Ignition
They call it an obsession but I think it's kinda bitching
I think it's kinda neat
Woah
Yeah, I'm a pyro (Woah)
I want to burn it up
Woah
Yeah, I'm a pyro (Woah)
[Verse 2]
Tonight this hood will be a pyre
I'm going to set your house on fire
I'll dance around the pretty flames
Such a wonderful game!
I want to make a tiki torch
I'm going to throw it on your porch
Then I'm going to run away
And come back another day
[Chorus]
Oh, ignition
They call it an obsession but I think it's kinda bitching
I think it's kinda neat
Woah
Yeah, I'm a pyro (Woah)
I want to burn it up
Woah
Yeah, I'm a pyro (Woah)
[Verse 3]
So many houses, so little time
So many reasons, I'm not a crime
I'd like to set you up
I'd like to set you up
[Chorus]
Ignition
They call it an obsession but I think it's kinda bitching
I think it's kinda neat
Woah
Yeah, I'm a pyro (Woah)
I want to burn it up
Woah
Yeah, I'm a pyro (Woah)
[Outro]
I want to burn it up (Woah)
Yeah, I'm a pyro (Woah)
Yeah, I'm a pyro (Woah)
Yeah, I'm a pyro (Woah)
No Hero Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Once you said you'd stick to it until the end
I guess you lied, they call it suicide
Now you're gone
What was so wrong that you couldn't find a way to carry on?
Second guess
Did I do my best?
There was a friend I had
[Chorus]
Johnny was a weirdo
So what did you expect?
I ain't no fucking hero
I'm just trying to survive myself
[Verse 2]
I should have known you went through it alone
I wonder why did you even try?
You could have come to me
I would have helped you see
You could have found a way to carry on
Second guess
Did I do my best?
I was a friend I had
[Chorus]
Johnny was a weirdo
So what did you expect?
I ain't no fucking hero
I'm just trying to survive myself
[Bridge]
Johnny's strange behavior was a tip-off, they say
But I ain't no fucking savior
I'm just living day by day
[Verse 3]
Little things, little lives hanging until the end
I say it doesn't really mean nothing
Telling truth, telling lies
I used to have a friend
I say it don't really mean nothing
And I can't let this feeling go
Let this feeling go
Let this feeling go
Let this, let this go
L.A.P.D. Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When cops are taking care of business I can understand
But the L.A. story's gone way out of hand
Their acts of aggression, they say they're justified
But it seems an obsession has started from the inside
They're shooting anyone who even tries to run
They're shooting little kids with toy guns
Take it to a jury but they don't give a damn
Because the one who tells the truth is always the policeman
[Chorus 1]
Beat all the niggers
Beat whoever you see
Don't need a reason
L.A.P.D.
[Verse 2]
The city of L.A. feels like a prison
With helicopters overhead and bullets whizzing by
Martial law ain't no solution
Police brutality's just social pollution
[Chorus 2]
Beat all the white trash
Beat whoever you see
Don't need a reason
L.A.P.D.
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
They say they're keeping the peace
But I'm not buying it because a billy club ain't much of a pacifier
"Protecting your freedom"
Man, it's just a lie
It's an excuse for power that's more like an alibi
Law and order doesn't really matter
When you're the one getting bruised and battered
You take it to a jury, they'll throw it in your face
'Cause justice in L.A. comes in a can of Mace
[Chorus 1]
Beat all the niggers
Beat whoever you see
Don't need a reason
L.A.P.D
[Outro]
L.A.P.D.
L.A.P.D.
Nothing From Something Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Things are coming down on me
They never seem to let it be
It seems like everything I say just starts another fight
The pressure's building up inside
I got to let it out tonight
Shattered glass will cure my ills and make me feel alright
[Chorus]
Gonna break it
And never stop running, yeah
Making nothing from something, yeah
Making nothing from something, yeah
[Verse 2]
Cut me for a lion's share
It's mindless but I don't care
Because no matter what I say
I'm in another fight
Take more shit, I've had enough
Tonight I'm gonna rip it up
Broken windows cure my ills and make me feel alright
[Chorus]
Gonna break it
And never stop running, yeah
Making nothing from something, yeah
Making nothing from something, yeah
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Gonna break it
And never stop running, yeah
Making nothing from something, yeah
Making nothing from something, yeah
Forever and a Day Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Look at me while I look at you
Seeing eye to eye is something we can never do
You try to tell me what is right
I may not know a lot but I know one thing
[Chorus]
If you've got the answer
Then I don't want to know
If you've got the answer
Just keep it your own
[Verse 2]
I wonder why our world is ablaze
Sometimes I speak aloud to hear what people have to say
I try to have an open mind
But your brain and mouth must not be connected
[Chorus]
If you've got the answer
Then I don't want to know
If you've got the answer
Just leave me alone
[Bridge]
I would be patient but it takes so long
I don't want all this misinformation
All the words that you say
[Verse 3]
Lean on me while I lean on you
If we destroy each other
We might save a life or two
A little sun, a little shine
Separates us both by forever and a day
[Chorus]
If you've got a vision
Then I don't want to see
If you've got a notion
Don't waste it on me
