Neocon Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
[Verse]
We are strong, we are right (Oh!)
We won't be pushed aside (Oh!)
We'll go on, we will fight (Oh!)
We will not compromise (Oh!)
[Outro]
We will never lose to you (Oh!)
We will never lose to you (Oh!)
We will never lose to you (Oh!)
We will never lose to you (Oh!)
The Noose Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, our souls are all mistaken in the same misguided way
We all end up forsaken, we're just choosing our own way
The future now incinerates before our very eyes
And leaves us with the emptiness of no more tries
Well, our visions of glory now have spiraled down the drain
The best of our intentions now come crashing down in flames
The depths of our despair we are unable to contain
It's shallow living
[Chorus]
The noose is falling, and all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling, and enemies are rising
A truth appalling, our maker comes a-calling
The noose is falling, and enemies are rising
[Verse 2]
Well, the tracers from yesteryear are burning in the dust
Your bruises are reminders of naivety and trust
You're only feeling stronger 'cause your body's getting numb
Now I lay you down, put the coins in your eyes
And blow the candles out
[Chorus]
The noose is falling, and all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling, and enemies are rising
A truth appalling, our maker comes a-calling
The noose is falling, and enemies are rising
[Chorus]
The noose is falling, and all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling, and enemies are rising
A truth appalling, our maker comes a-calling
The noose is falling, and enemies are rising
[Bridge]
No more! (No more!) No more! (No more!)
Nothing!
No more! (No more!) No more! (No more!)
Ever!
No (No!) more!
No (No!) more!
[Chorus]
The noose is falling, and all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling, and enemies are rising
A truth appalling, our maker comes a-calling
The noose is falling, and enemies are rising
[Outro]
The noose is falling, and all my friends are crawling
The noose is falling, and enemies are rising!
Long Way Home Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Hey) I'm driving down a dusty road
(Hey) I've got nowhere to go
(Hey) No place that I can call my own
On and on, this road is burnin'
(Break away) I'm leaving all this crap behind
(Break away) The past is gone, the future's blind
(Break away) Don't care how long it takes this time
On and on, I'll take the
[Chorus]
Long way home
The long way home
The long way home
If it's for me, it's on the way home
[Verse 2]
(Hey, hey) Like fragments of a broken mind
(Hey, hey) I splinter by my own design
(Hey, hey) The search is not a waste of time
On and on, this road keeps burnin'
(Break away) My hands are glued upon the wheel
(Break away) The road ahead is all I feel
(Break away) The only thing left that's real
On and on, I'll take this
[Chorus]
Long way home
The long way home
The long way home, home
[Post-Chorus]
I will go alone
I will go and find it on my own
[Bridge]
What lies ahead
You cannot find for me
[Pre-Chorus]
On and on, I'll take the
[Chorus]
Long way home
The long way home
The long way home
If it's for me, it's on the way home
The long way home
I'll take the long way home, home
[Post-Chorus]
I will go alone
I will go and find it on my own
Hit That Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The winds of fortune don't blow the same
She had to get out and make a change
She had a kid now, but much too young
That baby daddy's out having fun
[Chorus 1]
He's sayin', "I'm on a roll with all the girls I know"
His baby momma, she ain't so slow
He's sayin', "I'm on a roll with all the girls I know"
I know you wanna hit that, I know you wanna hit that, hit that
[Post-Chorus]
All the world is gettin' with, I say
Consequences are a lot, but hey
That's the way it
That's the way things go, ay, ay, ay
[Verse 2]
What was a family, is now a shell
We're raising kids now who raise themselves
Sex is a weapon, it's like a drug
It gets him right into that grave that he just dug
[Chorus 2]
She's saying, "I'm on the run, I'm chasing guys for fun"
Her baby daddy, it ain't his only one
She's sayin', "I'm on the run, I'm chasing guys for fun"
I know you wanna hit that, I know you wanna hit that, hit that
[Post-Chorus]
Everybody's gettin' with, I say
Consequences are a lot, but hey
That's the way it
That's the way things go, ay, ay, ay
[Bridge]
Well it winds up, broken up, really such a shame
But why not take a chance, everything's a game
And it don't stop hooking up, nothing's gonna change
Well, the more he's trying, the more he's buying
[Chorus 3]
He says, "I'm on a roll with all the girls I know"
His baby momma don't need to know
He's sayin', "I'm on a roll with all the girls I know"
I know you wanna hit that, I know you wanna hit that, hit that
[Post-Chorus]
All the world is gettin' with, I say
Consequences are a lot, but hey
That's the way it
That's the way things go
Race Against Myself Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All I want, all I need always lies just out of reach
I've been coming up empty
I've run as fast as I can run, I've pushed as hard as anyone
Still, there's nothin' for me, oh
[Chorus 1]
(And I want) I've tried as hard as I can
(And I need) I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall) But I am running a race
Against myself, against myself, yeah
[Verse 2]
Burnin' out, strung along, now my sorrow is my song
My whole world is half-hearted
For my pain, I have none, after all is said and done
Now I'm back where I started, oh
[Chorus 2]
(And I want) I've gone as far as I can
(And I need) I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall) But I am running a race
Against myself, against myself, yeah
[Bridge]
Oh-oh
Oh-oh!
[Chorus 3]
(And I want) I've tried as hard as I can
(And I need) I've taken all I can stand
(And I fall) But I am losin' the race
Against myself, against myself, yeah
[Outro]
Against myself
(Can’t Get My) Head Around You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Deep inside your soul there's a hole you don't want to see
Every single day what you say makes no sense to me
Even though I try, I can't get my head around you
[Verse 2]
Somewhere in the night there's a light in front of me
Heaven up above with a shove, I beg it's me
Even though I try, I fall in the river of you
You've managed to bring me down, too
[Chorus 1]
All your fakin'
Get up, get up, get up, get up
Shows you're achin'
Get up, get up, get up
[Verse 3]
Every single day what you say makes no sense to me
Lettin' you inside isn't right, don't mess with me
I never really know what's really going on inside you
I can't get my head around you
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 2]
All your feedin'
Get up, get up, get up, get up
Shows you're bleedin'
Get up, get up, get up
[Verse 3]
Deep inside your soul there's a hole you don't want to see
Coverin' it up like a cut with the likes of me
You know I've really tried, I can't do any more about you
[Bridge]
Yeah, the cut's getting deeper
Yeah, the hill's getting steeper
I guess I'll never know what's really going on inside you
[Outro]
I can't get my head around you
I can't get my head around you
I can't get my head around you
I can't get my head around you
The Worst Hangover Ever Lyrics
[Intro]
Ballroom scene, but the fire underneath
Gonna eat you alive, gonna bring you to your knees
[Verse 1]
Went out drinking late last night, I had a blast
But now the morning light has come and kicked my ass, woah
[Chorus]
I've got the worst hangover ever
I'm crawlin' to the bathroom again
It hurts so bad that I'm never gonna drink again
[Verse 2]
And by my seventh shot, I was invincible
I would have never thought I'd be this miserable, woah
[Chorus]
I've got the worst hangover ever
I'm rollin' back and forth on the bed
I'm worked so bad that I'm never gonna drink again
[Bridge]
Won't someone just kill me?
Put me out of my misery
I'm makin' deals with God, I'll do anything
Make it stop, please, make it stop, please
Make it stop, please, make it stop, please
[Interlude]
Woah
[Chorus]
I've got the worst hangover ever
I'm crawlin' to the bathroom again
It hurts so bad that I'm never gonna drink again
[Outro]
I'll probably never drink again
I may not ever drink again
At least not 'til next weekend
I'm never gonna drink again
Never Gonna Find Me Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On a mission started by my own admission
I will leave you all behind
By direction I'll create my own protection
The real me you'll never find
Aspirations turn to fear and desperation
Nothing's ever good enough for you
Burn in sorrow 'cause I see there's no tomorrow
You'll only see what I want you to
[Chorus]
Never gonna find me
Never gonna find me
Well, way down deep inside there is a real me
I'm always gonna hide and this is who you'll see
Never gonna find me
Never gonna find me
Well, way down deep inside they haven't found me yet
I'm always gonna hide and this is who you'll get
[Verse 2]
On a mission to establish my attrition
You may think that you have won
Your rejection has brought on my introspection
I'll escape my hole and run
Accusations may destroy my motivation
I can feel it when you're pushin' me
Burn in sorrow 'cause I see there's no tomorrow
Only I know which me you'll see
[Chorus]
Never gonna find me
Never gonna find me
Well, way down deep inside there is a real me
I'm always gonna hide and this is who you'll see
Never gonna find me
Never gonna find me
Well, way down deep inside they haven't found me yet
I'm always gonna hide and this is who you'll get
[Breakdown]
Break away, run
Down inside, I've got to
Push it way down
I did not choose this, goddammit
I don't really know what I wanna say
I can't afford the throw, can't make it go away now
Tryna make it through, fuck your decision
I can't feel myself, but I'm burning up now
[Outro]
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Never gonna find me)
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Never gonna find me)
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Never gonna)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Lightning Rod Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am waiting on a mountaintop
For the moment that the sky will strike
My apologies are forever lost
Soon to ashes in a flash of light
Miles away from me, hope is fading soon
Gone forever, it's a waste of time
My intentions, like a sweeter room
Only bring to me a fading light
[Chorus]
Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
Oh, if they could just teach my dark heart to feel
All I've saved‚ oh why
Thrown away, oh
[Verse 2]
I am waning like a single bloom
Lost forever in the storm of life
My intentions, like a sweeter room
Only bring to me a fading light
[Chorus]
Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
Oh, if they could just show these wounds how to heal
Here I am‚ oh why
My last stand‚ oh why
And I know
For all the rising and falling, there's nothing to show
[Bridge]
(Throw me down, throw me down)
(Throw me down) It's been raining
(Throw me down) And now I will pay
(Throw me down) Woe is come to me
(Throw me down) I am the lightning rod
(Throw me down) I am waiting
(Throw me down) On a mountaintop
(Throw me down) Oh above me
(Throw me down) He will strike me!
[Chorus]
Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why
Oh, if they could just teach my dark heart to feel
All I am‚ oh why
My last stand‚ oh why
And I know
For all the rising and falling, there's nothing to show
Spare Me the Details Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My girlfriend, my dumb donut
Went out to a party just the other night
But three hours later and seven shots of Jäger
She was in the bedroom with another guy
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't really wanna know
So don't tell me anymore
And I really don't wanna hear
About her feet all up in the air
[Chorus]
And well, I'm not the one who acted like a ho
Why must I be the one who has to know?
I'm not the one who messed up big time
So, spare me the details if you don't mind
[Verse 2]
Now I can understand friends who wanna tell me
Think they're gonna help me open up my eyes
But the play-by-play makes me wanna lose it
Every time you do it, man, it turns the knife
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't really wanna know
So don't tell me anymore
And I really don't wanna hear
About her feet all up in the air
[Chorus]
And well, I'm not the one who acted like a ho
Why must I be the one who has to know?
I'm not the one who messed up big time
So, spare me the details if you don't mind
[Bridge]
Now I don't need to hear about the sounds they were makin'
And I don't need to hear about how long it was takin'
Or how the walls, they were shakin', oh
[Verse 3]
Now lying in bed, wallowin' in sorrow
Missing the tomorrow that we could've had
Running through my head, over and over
Things I never told her now just make me sad
And it drives me insane, sittin' with the vision
Stuck with that image burned into my brain
And I feel so dumb that I could ever trust her
While someone else fucked her then a-walked away
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't really wanna to know
So don't tell me anymore
And I really don't wanna hear
About her feet all up in the air
[Chorus]
And so, I'm not the one who acted like a ho
Why must I be the one who has to know?
I'm not the one who messed up big time
So, spare me the details if you don't mind
[Outro]
('Cause I don't wanna know, don't wanna know)
Spare me the details if you don't mind
(Don't wanna know, don't wanna know)
Spare me the details if you don't mind
Da Hui Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I won't fuck with da Hui
I won't fuck with da Hui
I won't fuck with da Hui
Because da Hui will fuck with me
[Verse 2]
I won't take off on da Hui
I won't take off on da Hui
I won't take off on da Hui
Because da Hui will fuck with me
[Chorus 1]
A haole with heart, that's all I'll ever be
I'm not a part of the North Shore society
Stuck on the shoulder, that's where you'll find me
Diggin' for scraps with the kooks in line!
[Verse 3]
I won't park next to da Hui
I won't park next to da Hui
I won't park next to da Hui
Because I don't really feel comfortable
[Chorus 2]
A haole with heart, that's all I'll ever be
I'm not a part of the North Shore royalty
Stuck on the shoulder, I'm not complaining
Digging for scraps, I'm a kook in line!
[Chorus 1]
A haole with heart, that's all I'll ever be
I'm not a part of the North Shore society
Stuck on the shoulder, that's where you'll find me
Diggin' for scraps with the kooks in line!
[Outro]
Don't fuck with da Hui!
Don't fuck with da Hui!
Don't fuck with da Hui!
Because da Hui will fuck with you!
When You’re in Prison Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When you're in prison, don't turn the other way
Keep your back against the wall
When you're in prison, don't turn the other way
Do not bend at all
[Chorus 1]
Oh, don't pick up the soap, pick up the soap
It's bad for you
Oh, don't pick up the soap, pick up the soap
Someone will be waiting there for you
[Verse 2]
When you're in prison, be sure to stay awake
Always lie upon your back
When you're in prison, be sure to stay awake
Keep you from attack
[Chorus 2]
Oh, don't be no one's bitch, be no one's bitch
It's bad for you
Oh, don't be no one's bitch, be no one's bitch
They won't help you make it through
[Verse 3]
When you're in prison, don't turn the other way
Follow what I say to do
When you're in prison, don't turn the other way
You can make it through
You can make it through
You can make it through
Defy You (acoustic) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You may push me around
But you cannot win
You may throw me down
But I'll rise again
The more you say
The more I defy you
So get out of my face
Woah, yeah
[Chorus]
You cannot stop us
You cannot bring us down
Never give up
We go on and on
You'll never break us
Never bring us down
We are alive
[Verse 2]
When the wind blows
I'll lean into the wind
When my anger grows
I'll use it to win
The more you say
The more I defy you
So get out of my way
Woah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
All my will
All my strength
Rip it out (Woah)
Start again
[Chorus]
You cannot stop us
You cannot bring us down
Never give up
We go on and on
You'll never break us
Never bring us down
We are alive
[Bridge]
All my will
All my strength
Rip it out
Start again
All my will
All my strength
Rip it out
Start again
(Can you leave it all behind?)
All my will
All my strength
(Can you leave it all behind?)
Rip it out
('Cause you can't go back, you can't go back)
Start again
(Can you leave it all behind?)
All my will
(Can you leave it all behind?)
All my strength
('Cause you can't go back, you can't go back)
Rip it out
('Cause you can't go back, you can't go back)
Start again
[Chorus]
You cannot stop us
You cannot bring us down
Never give up
We go on and on
You'll never break us
Never bring us down
We are alive
We are alive
Oh no
