1000 Eyes

You can't stop it
you feel it
it's on the rise...
You hide behind your smoke screens
and your lies
You say nothing when it comes to the "How's" and "Why's
We're watching you with a thousand eyes
A thousand eyes - oh yeah!
News travels unravels and spreads so fast
and you know we're saving the worst for last
a smooth talker but it's all such a thin disguise
we see right through you with a thousand eyes
A thousand eyes...
A thousand eyes...
Staring at you with a thousand eyes
0 0 (eyes)
The time has come to be done with your foolish pride
You want a war? you better find a place to hide
when you find that your allies have left your side
your'e broken, your'e opened
your'e opened wide...
Your'e opened wide
Your'e opened wide
Your'e opened wide to a thousand eyes
Your'e opened wide
Your'e opened wide
Your'e opened wide to a thousand eyes

Bad Girl

Checked you out sent me on a trip
must have been that smirk on your lips
Girl you got me on a slow drip
it's a teenage warning on a pink slip
Wanna have you all over the place
up front and in my face
about as subtle as a spray of mace
it's a smooth ride in a death race
Bad Girl you look so cool
Bad Girl you fucking rule
I wanna see you after school
Bad Girl you look so hard
Bad Girl like a Rock Star
I wanna put you in the guard
Can't believe that I got a chance
to get my Rookers in your leather pants
put a shields on my friggin' lance
and drag it out like the last dance
Never thought you'd be so sweet
Coolest cat on a dead end street
take care, till next we meet
in a dark alley or between the sheets
Bad Girl you look so cool
Bad Girl you fucking rule
I wanna see you after school
Bad Girl you look so hard
Bad Girl like a Rock Star
I wanna put you in the guard

Every Year
01:59
|

Here come the kids
all looking for the truth
standing in the shadows
of yesterday's youth
thinking for themselves
they wanna make it on their own
every kid is different
but he shouldn't walk alone
Under the gun from when they're out of school
looking for something
something to do
to keep from the troubles of the poverty line
wanna make the money you've gotta do the time
Every year
every generation
the times they are a changing
and we don't make the rules
every kid in a different situation
so many born to have it all
so many born to lose...
There go the jobs
to the ones who had connections
the ones with education
the ones who played it straight
motivated focused,
they swarm in like locusts
and take all they want
leaving nothing on their plate
And then the others
the rejects, the rockers
the ones who never wanted
more then they could chew
pissed up on the weekend
wishing it would never end
too much to think about
when there's nothing to do
Every year
every generation
the times they are a changing
and we don't make the rules
every kid in a different situation
so many born to have it all
so many born to lose...
Here comes the future
there ain't no place to hide
it's waiting on your doorstep
and underneath your bed...
ain't no way to fake it
we've got to try to make it
this world will rip your roof away
if you can't get ahead
We can rant and rave
that life just isn't fair
but it doesn't make a difference
in a world that doesn't care
we've got too much pride
to fall to far behind
no ones gonna see us fall
we'll take whatever's there

Hole Truth
01:18
|
|||
I ain't got the time or the patience
to follow anyone around
know what I need but it's hard to succeed
try not to let it get me down
frustrated cause it's so over rated
I want it still...
gonna find me one that's actually fun
I swear I will
Truth
Hole truth
Hole Truth
Hole Truth
I ain't got the body or the money
to shoot for shining stars
always wishing there was no competition
and they weren't the way they are
They got it - but you can't use it
it's so hard to get and so easy to lose it...
Truth
Hole Truth
Hole Truth
Hole Truth
It never has to be just right
for me to be in the mood
big or small, short or tall
I've never been a picky dude
when I got it - I go at it
like it was was my last
cause life's short, life's ugly
and it goes so fast
Truth
Hole truth
Hole Truth
Hole Truth
Try so hard to find it
and I'm always two steps behind it
I'm such a Goof
Hole Truth
Try so hard to get it
but I'm only fucking with my head
this search for Truth
Hole Truth
Hole Truth
Hole Truth

Let It Go
02:20
|

Let it go
don't be an asshole
there's no need to be a C*nt
I'm just trying to get to work now sir
so I can get the things I want
Do you find some satisfaction
from getting deep within our space?
Do what you're gonna do Big Man
and get the fuck out of my face...
Driving along
cranking out the tunes
and now my morning
it lies in ruins
because of you
and your radar gun
why don't you stick it
up yer bum!
and see just how fast you can run
My speed will be a mystery
and you - you hold the key
you say it was 120
but that don't sound right to me
Do you know how hard we try
to avoid you at all costs
how many times we've cursed you
for every dollar that we've lost
It's in your hands
it's up to you
to let it go
or turn the screw
I already know
what your'e gonna do
inside my head
I scream fuck you
because out loud
ya out loud
that'd cost me too...

Long Gone
01:32
|
|||
You can point your finger at me
for the trouble and the strife
that you're facing in your crummy life
And I won't care
'Cause I'm long gone
Used to think that I needed
something to lean on
but now I've got a hard and a mean on
into the future
with a brand new song
Cause I'm way past the point
of giving a shit
I've seen all I needed to see
Back to the start
like a fart in the wind, baby
don't you cry for me
Baby!
Just 'cause you got it
don't mean you can treat it
however you wanna and not even feed it
let it wither and die
without batting an eye
Cause like leaves on a tree
or fish in the sea
I know there's a million who'd be all over me
who would gladly tag along
when I'm long gone
Cause I'm way past the point
of giving a shit
I've seen all I needed to see
Back to the start
like a fart in the wind, baby
don't you cry for me
Baby!
You can point your finger at me
for the trouble and the strife
that you're facing in your crummy life
And I won't care
'Cause I'm long gone
Used to think that I needed
something to lean on
but now I've got a hard and a mean on
into the future
with a brand new song
Cause I'm way past the point
of giving a shit
I've seen all I needed to see
Back to the start
like a fart in the wind, baby
don't you cry for me
Baby!

Shit Job

Shit Job
what can you do?
they put the pressure on you
and you say okay
Shit Job
wanna get out
but you doubt you can find any other way
Gotta pay for an education
they want too much information
and your resume might as well be toilet paper
locked in a cage
you can't turn the page
Shit job
clock keeps ticking
looks like your'e sticking
right where you are
Shit Job
too much thinking
time for some drinking when you're out the door
Gotta make money
can't please everybody
and no one wants to hear you complain...
Insult to injury
again and again
again and again
Insult to injury
again and again
again and again
Shit Job
what can you do?
they put the pressure on you
and you say okay
Shit Job
wanna get out
but you doubt you can find any other way
Gotta pay for an education
they want too much information
and your resume might as well be toilet paper
locked in a cage
you can't turn the page
Shit job
clock keeps ticking
looks like your'e sticking
right where you are
Shit Job
too much thinking
time for some drinking when you're out the door
Gotta make money
can't please everybody
and no one wants to hear you complain...
Insult to injury
again and again
again and again
Insult to injury
again and again
again and again

We Won't Stop
02:02
|
|||
Some say that we're fading away
guilty of crimes that just don't pay
we're waking up every day
stronger then ever with plenty to say
We won't - we won't stop
best boot forward
we're the cream of the crop
we won't - change our ways
do what we do
and play what we play
They say that we're on our way out
they don't know who they're talking about
they look at us with suspicion and doubt
'cause we're ugly and we scream and shout
We won't - we won't stop
best boot forward
we're the cream of the crop
we won't - change our ways
do what we do
and play what we play
Years from now we'll be hanging around
still rocking to the same old sound
and they'll still be slagging us down
but we're in for a penny and we're in for a pound
We won't - we won't stop
best boot forward
we're the cream of the crop
we won't - change our ways
do what we do
and play what we play
We won't - we won't stop
best boot forward
we're the cream of the crop
we won't - change our ways
do what we do
and play what we play
