Time to Relax Lyrics

[Narrator]

Aah, it's time to relax

And you know what that means

A glass of wine, your favorite easy chair

And of course, this compact disc playing on your home stereo

So go on, and indulge yourself... that's right!

Kick off your shoes, put your feet up

Lean back and just enjoy the melodies

After all, music soothes even the savage beast

Nitro (Youth Energy) Lyrics

1 ContributorNitro LyricsOur generations

Sees the world not the same as before

We might as well just throw it all

And live like there's no tomorrow

There's no tomorrow

We are the ones

Who are living under the gun everyday

You might be gone before you know

So live like there's no tomorrow-ain't gonna waste this life

There's no tomorrow-you ain't gonna live it for me

Believe it

The official view of the world has changed

In a whole new way

Live fast cause if you don't take it

You'll never make it

So if you understand me

And if you feel the same

Then you will know what nitro means

You'll live like there's no tomorrow-ain't gonna waste this life

There's no tomorrow-you ain't gonna live it for me

There's no tomorrow

Bad Habit Lyrics

[Intro]

Hey, man, you know I'm really okay

The gun in my hand will tell you the same

But when I'm in my car, don't give me no crap

’Cause the slightest thing and I just might snap

[Verse 1]

When I go driving, I stay in my lane

But getting cut off, it makes me insane

I open the glove box, reach inside

I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride

[Chorus]

I guess I got a bad habit (Yeah, yeah)

Of blowin' away (Yeah, yeah)

I got a bad habit (Yeah, yeah)

And it ain't goin' away (Yeah, yeah)

Yeah (Yeah, yeah)

Yeah, oh

[Verse 2]

They say the road's a dangerous place

If you flip me off, I'll get in your face

If you drive on my ass, your foot's on the gas

And your next breath is your last

[Chorus]

I guess I got a bad habit (Yeah, yeah)

Of blowin' away (Yeah, yeah)

I got a bad habit (Yeah, yeah)

And it ain't goin' away (Yeah, yeah)

Yeah (Yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]

Drivers are rude

Such attitudes

But when I show my piece

Complaints cease

Something's odd

I feel like I'm God

You stupid dumbshit goddamn motherfucker!

[Refrain]

I open the glove box

Reach inside

I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride

[Chorus]

I guess I got a bad habit (Yeah, yeah)

Of blowin' away (Yeah, yeah)

I got a bad habit (Yeah, yeah)

And it ain't goin' away (Yeah, yeah)

Yeah (Yeah, yeah)

[Outro]

Yeah (Yeah, yeah)

Yeah, oh

Gotta Get Away Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Getting edgy all the time

Someone around me just a step behind

It's kinda scary, the shape I'm in

Walls are shakin' and they're closin' in

Too fast or a bit too slow

Paranoid of people and it's startin' to show

One guy that I can't shake

Over my shoulder is a big mistake

[Chorus]

Sittin' on the bed and I'm lyin' wide awake

There's demons in my head and it's more than I can take

I think I'm on a roll, but I think it's kinda weak

Sayin' all I know is I gotta get away from me

[Verse 2]

Tell you, something just ain't right

My head is on loose but my shoes are tight

Avoidin' my friends, they all bug

Life is like a riddle and I'm really stumped

If you reason, don't you know

Your own preoccupation is where you'll go

Bein' followed, look around

It's only my shadow creepin' on the ground

[Chorus]

Sittin' on the bed and I'm lyin' wide awake

There's demons in my head and it's more than I can take

I think I'm on a roll, but I think it's kinda weak

Sayin' all I know is I gotta get away from me

[Post-Chorus]

I gotta get away from me

[Bridge]

Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh

[Chorus]

Sittin' on the bed and I'm lyin' wide awake

There's demons in my head and it's more than I can take

I think I'm on a roll, but I think it's kinda weak

Sayin' all I know is I gotta get away from me

[Post-Chorus]

I gotta get away from me

Genocide Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

Our lives run different ways

Through the rain I see you in the sun

Our star shines anyway

If you wish upon it, we are one

[Pre-Chorus]

(One, two, three, four)

[Chorus]

Dog eat dog, every day

On our fellow man we prey

Dog eat dog, to get by

Hope you like my genocide, oh

[Verse 2]

I find it such a shame

Through the pain I see things as they are

We're served up on a plate

Pedestal is high enough to fall

And if in time, we can see the errors of our ways

Would anyone change it anyhow?

[Pre-Chorus]

Our time is up

(One, two, three, four)

[Chorus]

Dog eat dog, every day

On our fellow man we prey

Dog eat dog, to get by

Hope you like my genocide

Dog eat dog, every day

On our fellow man we prey

Dog eat dog, to get by

Hope you like my genocide

[Bridge]

I bet you'd only run

If you saw what goes inside our own

I bet you'd lead the way

If it were up to you decide, but it's not

[Chorus]

Dog eat dog, every day

On our fellow man we prey

Dog eat dog, to get by

Hope you like my genocide

Dog eat dog, every day

On our fellow man we prey

Dog eat dog, to get by

Hope you like my genocide

[Outro]

Like a silver flame

Like a suicide

Like you're givin' more

(One, two, three, four)

[Spoken]

Mmm, I especially enjoyed that one...

Let's see what's next

Something to Believe In Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I believe that reality is gone

Disillusion is real

I believe that morality is gone

And there's nothing to feel

If you take the sacred things

Things that we hold dear

Empty promise is all you'll find

So give me something

[Chorus]

Something to believe in

[Verse 2]

I believe in a changing of the guard

Put our feet on the ground

See it happen in your own backyard

Everything breaks down

Do you accept what you are told

Without even thinking

Throw it all and make your own

And give me something

[Chorus]

Something to believe in

[Bridge]

Where they lead

You will follow

Well, I guess that's just the way it goes

And if you look away

You'll be doing what they say

And if you look alive

You'll be singled out and tried

If you take home anything

Let it be your will to think

The more cynical you become

The better off you'll be

[Chorus]

Something to believe in

Come Out and Play Lyrics

17 ContributorsCome Out and Play LyricsYou gotta keep 'em separated

Like the latest fashion

Like a spreading disease

The kids are strappin' on their way to the classroom

Getting weapons with the greatest of ease

The gangs stake their own campus locale

And if they catch you slippin' then it's all over pal

If one guy's colors and the others don't mix

They're gonna bash it up, bash it up, bash it up, bash it up

Hey, man you talkin' back to me?

Take him out

You gotta keep 'em separated

Hey, man you disrespecting me?

Take him out

You gotta keep 'em separated

Hey, they don't pay no mind

If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time

Hey, come out and play

By the time you hear the siren

It's already too late

One goes to the morgue and the other to jail

One guy wasted and the other's a waste

It goes down the same as the thousand before

No one's getting smarter, no one's learning the score

Your never ending spree of death and violence and hate

Is gonna tie your own rope, tie your own rope, tie your own

Hey, man you disrespecting me?

Take him out

You gotta keep 'em separated

Hey, man you talkin' back to me?

Take him out

You gotta keep 'em separated

Hey, they don't pay no mind

If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time

Hey, come out and play

It goes down the same as the thousand before

No one's getting smarter, no one's learning the score

Your never ending spree of death and violence and hate

Is gonna tie your own rope, tie your own rope, tie your own

Hey, man you talkin' back to me?

Take him out

You gotta keep 'em separated

Hey, man you disrespecting me?

Take him out

You gotta keep 'em separated

Hey, they don't pay no mind

If you're under 18 you won't be doing any time

Hey, come out and play

Self Esteem Lyrics

[Intro]

La, la, la-la-la

[Verse 1]

I wrote her off for the tenth time today

And practiced all the things I would say

But she came over, I lost my nerve

I took her back and made her dessert

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, I know I'm being used

That's okay, man, 'cause I like the abuse

I know she's playing with me

That's okay 'cause I've got no self-esteem

[Chorus]

Oh, way, oh yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]

We make plans to go out at night

I wait 'til two, then I turn out the light

This rejection's got me so low

If she keeps it up, I just might tell her so

[Chorus]

Oh, way, oh yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah

[Post-Chorus]

When she's saying, oh, that she wants only me

Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends

When she's saying, oh, that I'm like a disease

Then I wonder how much more I can spend

Well, I guess I should stick up for myself

But I really think it's better this way

The more you suffer

The more it shows you really care

Right? Yeah

[Verse 3]

Now I'll relate this little bit

It happens more than I'd like to admit

Late at night, she knocks on my door

She's drunk again and looking to score

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, I know I should say no

But it's kind of hard when she's ready to go

I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb

I'm just a sucker with no self-esteem

[Chorus]

Oh, way, oh yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah

[Post-Chorus]

When she's saying, oh, that she wants only me

Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends

When she's saying, oh, that I'm like a disease

Then I wonder how much more I can spend

Well, I guess I should stick up for myself

But I really think it's better this way

The more you suffer

The more it shows you really care

Right? Yeah

It’ll Be a Long Time Lyrics

[Verse 1]

All this time has whittled away

Like so many days in one

Back and forth, the leaders sway

Backing it up with guns

[Pre-Chorus]

Superpowers flex their wings

Hold the world on puppet strings

Egos will feed while citizens bleed

That's always the way it goes

[Chorus]

When will the world listen to reason?

I've a feeling it'll be a long time

When will the truth come in to season?

I've a feeling it'll be a long time

[Verse 2]

All they want is what they can defend

Before their time is up

Make the same mistakes all again

Heard it all before, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

Superpowers flex their wings

Hold the world on puppet strings

Egos will feed while citizens bleed

That's always the way it goes

[Chorus]

When will the world listen to reason?

I've a feeling it'll be a long time

When will the truth come in to season?

I've a feeling it'll be a long time

[Bridge]

Well, if they tried, maybe they'd see

It'd do a little good to let the world be free

Handshake and a smile gets you on through

Then turn it all around with a suicide move

But you know it's not foolin' anyone but me

You gotta make yourself see what you wanna see

But you know it's not foolin' anyone but me

You gotta make yourself see what you wanna see

Oh, yeah!

[Pre-Chorus]

I say, yeah!

Superpowers flex their wings

Hold the world on puppet strings

Egos will feed while citizens bleed

That's always the way it goes

[Chorus]

When will the world listen to reason?

I've a feeling it'll be a long time

When will the truth come in to season?

I've a feeling it'll be a long time

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeahh

Killboy Powerhead Lyrics

[Verse 1]

He's a pistol grip

And a lightning rod hammer step

He always busts his knuckles

When he's wrenching up his shit

[Chorus]

He's a Killboy Powerhead

Killboy Powerhead

Killboy Powerhead, yeah

[Verse 2]

You know, I saw his woman

She was writing his name in blood

You know, I saw his woman

Hard as a rock

She said she was his baby

Who looked just like the Hoover Dam

You know, I saw his woman

Hard as a rock

[Chorus]

He's a Killboy Powerhead

Killboy Powerhead

Killboy Powerhead, yeah

[Verse 1]

He's a pistol grip

And a lightning rod hammer step

He always busts his knuckles

When he's wrenching up his shit

[Chorus]

He's a Killboy Powerhead

Killboy Powerhead

Killboy Powerhead, yeah

He's a Killboy Powerhead, yeah

What Happened to You? Lyrics

[Intro]

What in the world happened to you?

[Verse 1]

Before you started tokin', you used to have a brain

But now you don't get even the simplest of things

I can draw a little picture or even use my hands

I try to explain but you just don't understand

[Chorus]

(Hey-ey) Man, you're really losin' it

(Hey-ey) And you've really done a lot of junk now

(Hey-ey) But you keep on abusin' it

What in the world happened to you?

[Verse 2]

It's bad enough you do it, you do it to yourself

But taking someone with you

Well, you know that's something else

I say I'm not that kind of person

I'm not that kind of man

I try to explain, but you just don't understand

[Chorus]

(Hey-ey) Man, you're really losin' it

(Hey-ey) And you've really done a lot of junk now

(Hey-ey) But you keep on abusin' it

What in the world happened to you?

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

(Hey-ey) Man, you're really losin' it

(Hey-ey) And you've really done a lot of junk now

(Hey-ey) But you keep on abusin' it

What in the world happened to you?

[Verse 3]

I might be sympathetic or cut a little slack

If I thought that you were willing to give a little back

But you do it in the morning, you do it in the night

You lie to refrain from just facing your life

So I'll see you man tomorrow, you'll be gackin' up again

I'll see you in a coffin by the time your wad is spent

I think of all the times that I tried to lend a hand

I try to explain but you just don't understand

[Chorus]

(Hey-ey) Man, you're really losin' it

(Hey-ey) And you've really done a lot of junk now

(Hey-ey) But you keep on abusin' it

What in the world happened to

What in the world happened to you?

So Alone Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Look at the crowd and tell me whether

All are surrounded, but none are together

If you're awake, look all around

At all of the people, still you're...

[Chorus]

So alone

[Post-Chorus]

Ah!

[Verse 2]

If I could, I'd make a suggestion

Without sounding preachy or begging the question

Melt with your minds, melt with each other

Don't be surrounded

Don't be...

[Chorus]

So alone

[Outro]

Kill!

Fuck off!

Hate!

Die!

Not the One Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm not the one who made the world what it is today

I'm not the one who caused the problems started long ago

But now I deal with all the consequence that troubles our times

I carry on and never once have even questioned why

[Chorus]

Yeah, yeah, I'm innocent

But the weight of the world is on my shoulders

Yeah, yeah, I'm innocent

The battles started are far from over

Yeah, oh

[Verse 2]

We're not the ones who leave the homeless in the streets at night

We're not the ones who've kept minorities and women down

Still we grow and then the problems, they become our own

We carry on without even realizing why

[Chorus]

Yeah, yeah, we're innocent

But the weight of the world is on our shoulders

Yeah, yeah, we're innocent

The battles left us are far from over

Yeah, oh

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Yeah, yeah, we're innocent

But the weight of the world is on our shoulders

Yeah, yeah, we're innocent

The battles left us are far from over

Yeah, yeah, we're innocent

But the weight of the world is on our shoulders

Yeah, yeah, we're innocent

The battles left us are far from over

Yeah

[Outro]

We're not the ones whose pollution blackened our skies and ruined our streams

We're not the ones who made the nuclear bombs that threaten our lives

We're not the ones who let the children starve in faraway lands

We're not the ones who made the streets unsafe to walk at night

And even if we try and not become too overwhelmed

And if we make some contribution to the plight we see

Still, our descendants will inherit our mistakes of today

They'll suffer just the same as we and never wonder why!
