Death by Rock and Roll Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Jenny died of suicide
With a candle burnin' in her eye
But on my tombstone when I go
Just put "Death by rock and roll"
[Verse 2]
John forgot what he was on
But he broke the needle, dead and gone
But on my tombstone when I go
Just put "Death by rock and roll"
[Chorus]
I wanna go with a shotgun blast
I wanna go with a woman on her back
I wanna go with balls, I won't pray
I wanna go with this bottle in my veins
I wanna go
I wanna go
I wanna go out my way
[Verse 3]
Amy shot and killed a man
With a gun too heavy in her hand
But on my tombstone when I go
Just put "Death by rock and roll"
[Verse 4]
Janey had steel in her bones
But she burned away, blood into stone
But on my tombstone when I go
Just put "Death by rock and roll"
[Chorus]
I wanna go with a shotgun blast
I wanna go with a woman on her back
I wanna go with this sickness in my throat
I wanna go, killed by rock and roll
I wanna
I wanna go
I wanna go out my way, yeah
[Chorus]
I wanna go with a shotgun blast
I wanna go in a motorcycle crash
Out on my own, I don't need to be saved
I wanna go out my way
[Outro]
But on my tombstone when I go
Just put "Death by rock and roll"
And So It Went Lyrics
[Verse 1]
And so it went
The children lost their minds
Beggin' for forgiveness
Was such a waste of time
And the bullets start to fly
And the bough's about to break
When you hear them cry
It's too much for me to take
[Chorus]
They said the world does not belong to you
You are not the king, I am not the fool
They said the world does not belong to you
It don't belong to you
It belongs to me
[Verse 2]
And so it went
The children lost their minds
Crawlin' over bodies of those who gave their lives
And the fists began to throw
And the fire starts to blaze
Don't you think they know
They're the fuckin' human race?
[Chorus]
They said the world does not belong to you
You are not the king, I am not the fool
They said the world does not belong to you
It don't belong to you
It belongs to—
[Bridge]
Everyone is cryin' out, I can hear them scream
With all these eyes upon us, but no one seems to see
That you and me are just the same as God meant it to be
But you're much too close to me
You're much too close to me
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
And so it went
The children lost their minds
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
And the wind begins to howl
And the wolf is at your door
You have so much of everything
But still, you wanted more
[Chorus]
They said the world does not belong to you
You are not the king, I am not the fool
They said the world does not belong to you
It don't belong to you
It belongs to me
[Chorus]
The world does not belong to you
You are not the king, I am not the fool
They said the world does not belong to you
It don't belong to you
It belongs to me
25 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Year one was lots of fun
But nothin' lasts forever in my dreams
And two, I followed you
Because you knew the way or so it seemed
And three, I still believed
That we would be becoming destiny
And four, I wanted more
But you were movin' on to better things
[Chorus]
At twenty-five and still alive
Much longer than expected for a man
At twenty-five, all hope has died
And the glass of my intentions turns to sand
And shatters in my hand
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Five to six, a lie, a kiss
The secrets that were served, we'd never say
Skip to eight, we called it fate
To live, to let us die another day
And nine, I saw the signs
Reflected in the barrel of a gun
Ten, we're here again
Those who loved me burned up in the sun
[Chorus]
At twenty-five and still alive
Much longer than expected for a man
At twenty-five, all hope has died
And the glass of my intentions turns to sand
And shatters in my hand
Shatters in my hand
[Bridge]
From eleven, twelve, I held the future in my grasp
And all through my teens, I screamed I may not live much past
Twenty-one, two, three, four
Twenty-one, two, three, four
Twenty-one, two, three, four
One, two, three, four
[Chorus]
At twenty-five and still alive
Much longer than expected for a man
At twenty-five, all hope has died
And the glass of my intentions
The glass of my intentions
The glass of my intentions turns to sand
It shatters in my hand
[Post-Chorus]
Shatters in my hand
In my hand
Got So High Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two, three
[Verse 1]
Turned out wasted, confused, complacent, I
Lost my center, suppose I meant to, I
[Chorus]
I, I got so high
I got so high
[Verse 2]
Success showed somethin', at the same time nothin', I
Thought I got it, but it seems I've lost it, I
[Chorus]
I, I got so high
I got so high
[Bridge]
If I wanted to fly, I should have gone up in a plane
If I wanted to fly, I should have climbed up to the highest mountaintop
Not lost my brain, but I'm insane, so
[Chorus]
I, I got so high
I, I got so high
I, I got so high
I, I got so high
[Outro]
I was somethin' but now I'm nothin', I
Witches Burn Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Welcome back to the days of old
Where the men are men and the women are sold
Unwilling sacrifice, I'll fuck you for a price
They kill 'em young so they never get old
[Pre-Chorus 1]
They lock the doors and pull down the shades
After the dark, they are always afraid
But I go out at night, I won't apologize
There's a price I'll pay
[Chorus]
For this I'll burn
For this I'll burn
One thing I've learned, you'll get your turn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn
[Verse 2]
Don't know much about a pagan god
If you think you're better than me, I know you're not
But I'll do what you say, I'm learning to obey
Down on my knees when you call me a dog
[Pre-Chorus 2]
'Til I get close enough for a blade
To stick it in, then I'll spit on your grave
I'm smiling all the while, you won't be at the trial
But there's a price I'll pay
[Chorus]
For this I'll burn
For this I'll burn
One thing I've learned, you'll get your turn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Down and down and down we go
Scatter the ashes in the shape of the soul
The dark will have its day
But there's a price I'll pay
[Chorus]
For this I'll burn
For this I'll burn
One thing I've learned, you'll get your turn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn
All witches burn
Standing at the Wall Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I remember long before the sun refused to shine
If I had only known that I was out of time
But now I see in front of me
Through my breath, I see its shadow over me
[Chorus 1]
I am standin' at the wall
It is high and I am small
All alone, there’s no one to catch me when I fall
From the wall
From the wall
[Verse 2]
A lot of la-di-da-da-da's when we were young
With no memories to weigh us down and life was fun
But now I see, it's over me
And my dreams are all for naught, but lost at sea
[Chorus 1]
But I am standin’ at the wall
It is high and I am small
All alone, there's no one to catch me whеn I fall
From the wall
From the wall
[Bridge]
You can build it up, you can blow it down
You can burn the world around it
If you losе it all, you will find it taller and
That you're surrounded by the wall
By the wall
[Chorus 2]
I am standin' at the wall
It is high and I am small
And I hope the wind will catch me when I fall
From the wall
From the wall
From the wall
Turning Gold Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Love is a vengeance put upon this breed
It takes the highest mountain and brings it to its knees
Down below, it hits me and keeps me wearin' this mask
But if I ever meet him, I'll be sure to ask for the light
For the light, for the light, for the light
[Chorus]
In the seventh hour
Waitin' in the cold
I can feel the power
I'm turning gold, I'm turning gold
I'm turning gold
[Verse 2]
Life is an ending starting in the womb
You build a home of brick and mortar, then it is your tomb
And I don't know real, I don't know right
I don't know if I should lay down or fight
But I know that somehow, it'll be alright
[Chorus]
In the seventh hour
Waitin' in the cold
I can feel the power
I'm turning gold, I'm turning gold
I'm turning gold
[Verse 3]
Time is relentlеss, a mathematical curse
Put upon by God above to makе your body hurt
Through the burning, the bleeding, the itch of the healing
The screams carry on through the night
But I know that somehow, it'll be alright
[Chorus]
In the seventh hour
Waitin' in the cold
I can feel the power
I'm turning gold, I'm turning gold
I'm turning gold
I'm turning gold
I'm turning gold
Harley Darling Lyrics
[Chorus]
Woah, Harley darlin'
You took my love
You took him down the lonely road to the stars above
Woah, Harley darlin'
You took my friend
You took everything and now I'm alone again
[Verse]
Harley, won't you take me back to Hollywood?
Let me see him one more time, I'd hold him like I could
All night, so tight
[Chorus]
Woah, Harley darlin'
The love of everyone
Roaring noise down the highway in the sun
Woah, Harley darlin'
You done me wrong
Now I'm all alone to sing this lonely song
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Ride away, ride away, ride away, ride away
Ride away, ride away, ride away, ride away
[Chorus]
On your Harlеy darlin' (Harley darlin')
You took my love
You took him down the lonеly road to the stars above
Woah, Harley darlin'
You took my friend
You took everything and now, everything and now
You took everything and now I'm alone again
