Track Lyrics

Intro Lyrics

[Spoken]
When we're ready to sing
We step up to the microphones
And it comes out something like this

Come Out Swinging Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You brace and hold it all inside
It's more than you can stand
No one around even tries
Tries to understand
[Chorus]
Don't turn away, don't turn away
Come out swingin', come out alone
They're in your way, they're in your way
As long as you're swingin' strong then you'll get by
[Verse 2]
Your pacing's wearin' out a line
Right beside your bed
The scene replays a million times
Stuck inside your head
And though you stand in place
Your mind escapes
Read between the lies
Smile's on your face
You fake like you're okay
[Chorus]
Don't turn away, don't turn away
Come out swingin', out on your own
They're in your way, they're in your way
You may be stingin', you'll get by
Don't turn away, don't turn away
Come out swingin', never alone again
[Post-Chorus]
Pain inside can guide your way
[Bridge]
Midnight, no sleep, oh
Inside, you scream to
No one hears you fall
Daylight, prove me today, day
One more try
[Chorus]
Don't turn away, don't turn away
Come out swingin', come out alone
They're in your way, they're in your way
You may be stingin', you'll get by
Don't turn away, don't turn away
Come out swingin', never alone again
[Outro]
Pain inside leads you (Leads you)
Through so you'll get by

Original Prankster Lyrics

[Intro: Rob Schneider]
You can do it!
[Verse 1: Dexter Holland, Jeanette Washington]
Until the break of dawn — life, life
Cannot go by the letter — time, time
Prozac can make it better — noise, noise
Any kind will do
Can you feel it slip away when it's all on you? (Hey, hey)
Crime, crime
Rockin' like Janet Reno — time, time
Eighteen and life in Chino — Freud, Freud
All along it's true
Well, you'll see there comes a day catches up to you, yeah!
[Chorus: Dexter Holland, Redman]
Knock down the walls (It's alive in you!)
Knock down the place (You're alone, it's true!)
Knock down the walls (It's alive in you!)
You gotta keep your head up through it all
You're gonna bust out on it (Original prankster)
Break out, yeah! (Original, yeah)
Bust out on it (Original prankster)
You never stop now, stop now
That's what the main man say!
[Interlude: Rob Schneider]
You can do it!
[Verse 2: Dexter Holland, Jeanette Washington]
You know it smells like shit — Goddamn!
Tag Team the Double Header
Son of Sam — fire always makes it better
Navigate with style and aplomb
'Cause wherever you're at, that's the tip youse on! (Hey, hey)
Lies, lies
Says he's down in the Bahamas — tries tries
Bangin' little hoochie mamas — no way
None of this is true
Well, you'll see there comes a day when the joke's on you, yeah!
[Chorus: Dexter Holland, Redman]
Knock down the walls (It's alive in you!)
Knock down the place (You're alone, it's true!)
Knock down the walls (It's alive in you!)
You gotta keep your head up through it all
You're gonna bust out on it (Original prankster)
Break out, yeah! (Original, yeah)
Bust out on it (Original prankster)
You never stop now, stop now
That's what the main man say!
[Interlude: Jeanette Washington, Rob Scheinder]
(Hey)
You can do it!
[Bridge: Dexter Holland]
Dime, dime — so good to see ya
Nein, nein — don't wanna be ya
Dime, dime — so good to see ya
Nine, nine — don't wanna be ya
Crime, crime — fine sinsemilla
Crime, crime — fine sinsemilla
Crime, crime — fine sinsemilla
Well, you'll see there comes a day catches up to you, yeah!
[Chorus: Dexter Holland, Redman]
Knock down the walls (It's alive in you!)
Knock down the place (You're alone, it's true!)
Knock down the walls (It's alive in you!)
You gotta keep your head up through it all
You're gonna bust out on it (Original prankster)
Break out, yeah! (Original, yeah)
Bust out on it (Original prankster)
You never stop now, stop now
That's what the main man say!

Want You Bad Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you could only read my mind
You would know that things between us ain't right
I know your arms are open wide
But you're a little on the straight side, I can't lie
[Pre-Chorus]
Your one vice
Is you're too nice
Come around now, can't you see?
[Chorus]
I want you all tattooed
I want you bad
Complete me, mistreat me
I want you to be bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
[Verse 2]
If you could only read my mind
You would know that I've been waiting so long
For someone almost just like you
But with attitude, I'm waiting, so come on
[Pre-Chorus]
Get out of Clothestime
Grow out those highlights
Come around now, can't you see?
[Chorus 2]
I want you in a vinyl suit
I want you bad
Complicated, X-rated
I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
Bad
[Bridge]
Don't get me wrong
I know you're only being good
But that's what's wrong
I guess I just misunderstood
[Chorus]
I want you all tattooed
I want you bad
Complicated, X-rated
I want you bad
[Outro]
I mean it, I need it
I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
Bad, really, really bad

Million Miles Away Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was a time, looking through myself
Wanting to pretend
If I escaped, I could fill myself
I don't think you can
Been far and wide
But that hole inside
Never really leaves
When I went away, what I really left
Left behind was me
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It's telling me
To be on my way
Home
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Million miles away
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Million miles away
I can't stay, I can't stay
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
A million miles away
[Verse 2]
Each passing day, every passing face
Seems like such a blur
I long to be home, silently
Lying next to her
Just to get back, by her side is all
All I need to be
I went away, but what I really left
Left behind was me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I need to be
Getting on my way
Home
[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Million miles away
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Million miles away
I can't take, I can't take
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
A million miles away
[Pre-Chorus 1]
It's telling me
To be on my way
Home
[Outro]
I can't take, I can't take
Million miles away
I can't take, I can't take
Million miles away
I can't take, I can't take
Million miles away
I can't take, I can't take
Million miles away
I can't take, I can't take (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Million miles away
I can't take, I can't take (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Million miles away
I can't take, I can't take (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Million miles away
I can't take, I can't take (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Million miles away

Dammit, I Changed Again Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, come inside
While I stand here actin' bold
(Can't stand to feel this way)
Clear out the cobwebs in my soul (Wo-o-o-oah)
[Chorus]
This time I turn around, things have changed
Now I don't feel the same, yeah
Start a fight, I can't defend
One more time, dammit, I changed again
[Verse 2]
Now I don't see
Things the way I did before
(Can't stand to feel this way)
Things I feel yesterday
Don't matter anymore (Wo-o-o-oah)
Doesn't make any sense
To feel so different day to day
(Can't stand to feel this way)
When nothing's changed except for (Wo-o-o-oah)
[Chorus]
Next time I turn around, things have changed
Now I don't feel the same, yeah
Start a fight, I can't defend
One more time, dammit, I changed again
Turn around, things have changed
Now I don't feel the same, yeah
Start a fight, I can't defend
One more time, dammit, I changed again
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Turn around, things have changed
Now I don't feel the same, yeah
Start a fight, I can't defend
One more time, dammit, I changed again
Turn around, things have changed
Now I don't feel the same, yeah
Turn around, I can't defend
One more time, dammit, I changed again
[Outro]
(Wo-o-o-o-o-o-oah)
(Wo-o-o-oah)
I see ya

Living in Chaos Lyrics

[Intro]
Got a song, song, man
It goes like this
[Verse 1]
Somewhere the time was right
Could have been gone in ten
This world is hard to fight
Hitting you once, hit it again
To know the way it feels
Everyone gets knocked down
When you get up it's real
By taking it back, turn it around
[Chorus]
Get on it, up on it
Get on it—wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, up on it
Get on it—no one's gonna free you
You know, when you're keeping it slow
No matter where you wanna go—wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, up on it
It's on—we're living in chaos
[Verse 2]
Somewhere along the line
Things get chipped away
This place keeps going down
Gets a little worse every day
I see hate and greed
This world's a messed up town
Embrace the pain and see
By taking it back, you turn it around
[Chorus]
Get on it, up on it
Get on it—wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, up on it
Get on it—no one's gonna free you
You know, when you're keeping it slow
No matter where you wanna go—wouldn't wanna be you
Get on it, up on it
It's on
[Bridge]
Falling, falling
Falling, falling
Ya, ya, ya
Ya, ya, ya
Ya, ya, ya
Ya, ya, ya
Got a song, song, man
It goes like this
[Verse 1]
Somewhere the time was right
Could have been gone in ten
This world is hard to fight
Hitting you once, hit it again
To know the way it feels
Everyone gets knocked down
When you get up it's real
[Outro]
Falling, falling
Falling, falling
Ya, ya, ya
Get on it, up on it, get on it
Ya, ya, ya
Get on it, up on it, get on it
(No one's gonna free you)
Get on it, up on it, get on it
Ya, ya, ya

Special Delivery Lyrics

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Hey now, do you see me down the way?
Been watching you every day
In my car on your street is where I stay
I know you better that way
One day, I'll be meeting you for real
You'll feel bad like I feel
[Chorus]
It'll blow you away
You're going to fall for me
You're going to fall for me
And the voices told me to blow you away
You're going to fall for me
You're going to fall for me
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
Hey now, well, I'm knocking on your door
This special delivery is yours
My infatuation, it's true
Hello, got something for you
[Chorus]
It'll blow you away
You're going to fall for me
You're going to fall for me
And the voices told me to blow you away
You're going to fall for me
You're going to fall for me
If you hadn't sold me, I'd still be away
You're right in front of me
You're right in front of me
Then, I'll be on my way
Breathing you okay
[Bridge]
(Ugachaka, ugachaka, uga, uga)
Can't break from my sins
Cannot pray
Can't break from my sins
Cannot pray
But you can't kill a man when he's got no hope
You can't kill a man when he's got no hope
You can't kill a man when he's got no hope
You can't kill a man when he's...
God help me!
[Chorus]
It'll blow you away
You're going to fall for me
You're going to fall for me
And the voices told me to blow you away
You're going to fall for me
You're going to fall for me
If you hadn't sold me, I'd still be away
You're right in front of me
You're right in front of me
Then, I'll be on my way
When you breathe onto me

One Fine Day Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I had a perfect day
I would have it start this way
Open up the fridge and have a tall boy, yeah
Then I'd meet up with my friends
Head out to the game again
We don't even really care who wins, wins, 1, 2, 3
[Chorus]
Now excitement seems to grow
When we're hanging with the bro's
When we're chilling and we pound a case of Stroh's
Now the game is cool to see
You can "High 5" on TV
Count the riot on the one, two, three
Operation is in sight
And the field is open wide
When you break it, then you know you're still alive
If the cops don't make you pay
And you make your getaway
Then you know that it's one fine day
[Verse 2]
On that day before we're through
We could torch a car or two
Then have ourselves another tall boy, yeah
Water hoses and batons
That's the real game that's on
I don't really give a shit who wins, wins, 1, 2, 3
[Chorus]
Now excitement seems to grow
When we're hanging with the bro's
When we're chilling and we pound a case of Stroh's
Now the game is cool to see
You can "High 5" on TV
Count the riot on the one, two, three
Operation is in sight
And the field is open wide
When you break it, then you know you're still alive
If the cops don't make you pay
And you make your getaway
Then you know that it's one fine day
[Bridge]
I believe it's my God-given right
To destroy everything in my sight
’Cause it never gets dull, it never gets old
The only thing it gets is more bold
Drinkin', fightin', going to the game
In our world it's a way to stay sane
If you're asking me to have it my way
I'd say that's one fine day
[Chorus]
Now excitement seems to grow
When we're hanging with the bro's
When we're chilling and we pound a case of Stroh's
Now the game is cool to see
You can "High 5" on TV
Count the riot on the one, two, three
Operation is in sight
And the field is open wide
When you break it, then you know you're still alive
If the cops don't make you pay
And you make your getaway
Then you know that it's one fine day
Then you know that it's one fine day, now
Hey, hey, hey hey

All Along Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Deep inside secret's burning
Should have known all the while what's true
I went along, to fool myself
Can't go on, I can't escape it
[Chorus]
All along
I think I really knew
It was there in the words unspoken
All along
Still believed in you
Now I'm leaving here betrayed and broken
[Verse 2]
Close my eyes from the burning
All along, all the while it's true
Take it on, or turn your back
Either way, you can't escape it
[Chorus]
All along
I think I really knew
It was there in the words unspoken
All along
Still believed in you
Now I'm leaving here betrayed and broken
[Interlude]
Ooooh
Ooooh
[Chorus]
All along
I think I really knew
It was there in the words unspoken
All along
Still believed in you
Now I'm leaving here betrayed and broken
[Outro]
All along
I still believe in you

Denial, Revisited Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So here we go
Having the same old fight again
Though there she goes
Same old game that never ends
If I could say all the right words
I know I could make you stay
If I could say all the right words
Things would work out all right
[Chorus 1]
And if you go
I won't believe
That it's forever
And you can go
But I'll never leave
’Cause it's not over
[Verse 2]
Replay last night
Talking it out don't make it right
I know she's tried, but my whole world
Is her and all we've got now
[Chorus 2]
And if you go
I won't believe
That it's forever
I won't let go
Even if she
Says that it's over
I know it'll be
Different this time
If you'd just stay
[Bridge]
And when we wrote this story how did it end?
It was you and me for all our lives
Come on, don't say it, we'll try again
And if I'd just hold you we could last
But she stands softly, tears down her face
Hitting me, oh God, this is the end
I'd wait for you but there's nothing more now I can do
[Outro]
How did you know?
How did you know?
How did you know?
Finally

Vultures Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now I could lie by your side
All serrated for you
Down below, cancer grows
Weeping waits inside you, too
Now all our rage begs a stage
It's a waste of time, though
And your style seems worthwhile
But this lonely road has turned
[Pre-Chorus 1]
(Woah) And you faded there
(Woah) They pretend to care
(Woah) Vultures waiting
If you don't like me
Certify me
[Chorus]
Yeah‚ I don't know, yeah
Yeah‚ I won't go, yeah
Yeah‚ save it, I'm okay
Okay
[Verse 2]
And in the sun, a loaded gun
Makes for conversation
All the while in denial
It's too late for me to change
[Pre-Chorus 2]
(Woah) And you were unchained
(Woah) Nothing more had changed
(Woah) I could fake it
If you still hate me
Confiscate me
[Chorus]
Yeah‚ I don't know, yeah
Yeah‚ I won't go, yeah
Yeah‚ save it, I'm okay
Okay
Yeah‚ I won't play, yeah
Yeah‚ go away, yeah
Yeah‚ save it, I'm okay
Okay
[Guitar solo]
[Pre-Chorus 2]
(Woah) And you were unchained
(Woah) Nothing more had changed
(Woah) I could fake it
If you still hate me
Confiscate me
[Chorus]
Yeah‚ I don't know, yeah
Yeah‚ I won't go, yeah
Yeah‚ save it, I'm okay
Okay
Yeah‚ I won't play, yeah
Yeah‚ go away, yeah
Yeah‚ save it, I'm okay
Okay

Conspiracy of One Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Red over white
It's one last fatal scene
Brought on by someone unseen
Moving on their own
Bring on the night
And bring us all to our knees
All are gone and none agreed
One who acts alone
[Chorus]
Nobody wins
Nobody hears us fall
Nobody wins
When it's done
Conspiracy of one
[Verse 2]
Bring on the night
And bring us all to our knees
All are gone and none agreed
One who acts alone
Red over white
It's one last fatal scene
Brought on by someone unseen
Moving on their own
[Chorus]
Nobody wins
Nobody hears us fall
Nobody wins
When it's done
Conspiracy of one
Nobody wins
Nobody hears us fall
Nobody wins
When it's done
Conspiracy of one
[Chorus]
Nobody wins
Nobody hears us fall
Nobody wins
When it's done
Conspiracy of one
Nobody wins
Nobody hears us fall
Nobody wins
When it's done
Conspiracy of one
