1. Intro
When weīre ready to sing
We step up the microphones
And it comes out something like this
2. Come Out Swinging
You brace and hold it all inside
Itīs more than you can stand
No one around even tries
Tries to understand
Donīt turn away, donīt turn away
Come out swinging
Come out alone
Theyīre in your way
But as long as youīre swinging
Strong then youīll get by
Your pacingīs wearing 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
Smileīs on your face
You fake like youīre ok
Donīt turn away, donīt turn away
Come out swinging
Out on your own
Theyīre in your way
You may be stinging
But youīll get by
Donīt turn away, donīt turn away
Come out swinging
Never alone again
The pain inside can guide your way
Midnight, no sleep
Inside, you scream to
No one, hears you fall
Daylight, prove me today
One more try
Donīt turn away, donīt turn away
Come out swinging
Come out alone
Theyīre in your way
You may be stinging
But youīll get by
Donīt turn away, donīt turn away
Come out swinging
Never alone again
Pain inside
Leads you through so youīll get by

4. Want You Bad
If you could only read my mind
You would know that things between us

I know your arms are open wide
But youīre a little on the straight side
I canīt lie
Your one vice
Is youīre too nice
Come around now canīt you see
I want you
All tattooed
I want you bad
Complete me
Mistreat me
Want you bad bad bad bad bad bad
If you could only read my mind
You would know that Iīve been waiting
So long
For someone almost like you
But with attitude, Iīm waiting
So come on
Get out of clothes time
Grow out those highlights
Come around now canīt you see
I want you
In a vinyl suit
I want you bad
Complicated

All tattooed

Complicated
X-rated
I want you bad
I mean it

I want you bad bad bad bad bad bad
Really really bad
5. Million Miles Away
There was a time, looking through myself
Wanting to pretend
If I escaped, I could fill myself
I donīt think you can
Been far and wide
But that hole inside
Never really leaves
I went away, what I really left
Left behind was me
Itīs telling me
To be on my way home
Million miles away
I canīt stay
I canīt stay
Million miles away
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
I need to be
Getting on my way home
A million miles away
Million miles away
I canīt take
I canīt take
Million miles away
Itīs telling me
To be on my way home
I canīt take
I canīt take
Million miles away
I canīt take
I canīt take
Million miles away
I canīt take
I canīt take
Million miles away
I canīt take
I canīt take
Million miles away
I canīt take
I canīt take
Million miles away
I canīt take
I canīt take
Million miles away
6. Dammit, I Changed Again
Hey, come inside
While I stand here acting bold
Canīt stand to feel this way
Clear out the cobwebs in my soul
This time I turn around
And things have changed
Now I donīt feel the same
Start a fight
I canīt defend
One more time
Dammit, I changed again
Now I donīt see
Things the way I did before
Canīt stand to feel this way
Things important yesterday
Donīt matter anymore
It doesnīt make any sense
To feel so different day to day
Canīt stand to feel this way
When nothingīs changed except for me
This time I turn around
And things have changed
Now I donīt feel the same
Start a fight
I canīt defend
One more time
Dammit, I changed again
Turn around
And things have changed
Now I donīt feel the same
Start a fight
I canīt defend
One more time
Dammit, I changed again
Turn around
Things have changed
Now I donīt feel the same
Start a fight
I canīt defend
One more time
Dammit, I changed again
Turn around
Things have changed
Now I donīt feel the same
Start a fight
I canīt defend
One more time
Dammit, I changed again
7. Living In Chaos
Got us all a song and it goes like this
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 itīs real, taking it back, turn it around
Get on it, up on it
Get on it, wouldnīt wanna be you
Get on it, up on it
Get on it, no oneīs gonna free you
You know, when youīre keeping it slow
No matter where you wanna go, wouldnīt wanna be you
Get on it, up on it
Itīs on, weīre living in chaos
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 worldīs a messed up town
Embrace the pain and see, taking it back, you turn it around
Get on it, up on it
Get on it, wouldnīt wanna be you
Get on it, up on it
Get on it, no oneīs gonna free you
You know, when youīre keeping it slow
No matter where you wanna go, wouldnīt wanna be you
Get on it, up on it
Itīs on
Got us all a song and it goes like this
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 itīs real
Get on it, up on it
Get on it
Get on it, up on it
Get on it, no oneīs gonna free you
Get on it, up on it
Get on it
8. Special Delivery
Hey now do you see me down the way
Been watching you everyday
In my car on your street is where I stay
I know you better that way
One day Iīll be meeting you for real
Youīll feel bad like I feel
Itīll blow you away
Youīre gonna fall for me
Youīre gonna fall for me
And the voices told me
To blow you away
Youīre gonna fall for me
Youīre gonna fall for me
Hey now well Iīm knocking on your door
This special delivery is yours
My infatuation itīs true
Hello, I got something for you
Itīll blow you away
Youīre gonna fall for me
Youīre gonna fall for me
And the voices told me
To blow you away
Youīre gonna fall for me
Youīre gonna fall for me
If you hadnīt sold me
Iīd still be away
Youīre right in front of me
Youīre right in front of me
Then, Iīll be on my way
Breathing you okay
Canīt break from my sins
Cannot pray
Canīt break from my sins
Cannot pray
But you canīt kill a man when heīs got no hope
You canīt kill a man when heīs got no hope
You canīt kill a man when heīs got no hope
You canīt kill a man when heīs
God help me
Itīll blow you away
Youīre gonna fall for me
Youīre gonna fall for me

If you hadnīt sold me
Iīd still be away
Youīre right in front of me
Youīre right in front of me
Then, Iīll be on my way
The way you bring it all on me
9. One Fine Day
If I had a perfect day
I would have it start this way
Open up the fridge and have a tall boy
Yeah
Then Iīd meet up with my friends
Head out to the game again
We donīt even really care who wins
Now excitement seems to grow
When weīre hanginī with the broīs
When weīre chillinī and we pound a case of Strohīs
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 youīre still alive
If the cops donīt make you pay
And you make your getaway
Then you know
That itīs one fine day
On that day before weīre through
We could torch a car or two
Then have ourselves another tall boy
Yeah
Water hoses and batons
Thatīs the real game thatīs on
I donīt really give a shit who wins
Now excitement seems to grow
When weīre hanginī with the broīs
When weīre chillinī and we pound a case of Strohīs
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 youīre still alive
If the cops donīt make you pay
And you make your getaway
Then you know
That itīs one fine day
I believe itīs 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
Drinkinī, fightinī, going to the game
In our world itīs a way to stay sane
If youīre asking me
To have it my way, Iīd say thatīs
One fine day
Now excitement seems to grow
When weīre hanginī with the broīs
When weīre chillinī and we pound a case of Strohīs
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 youīre still alive
If the cops donīt make you pay
And you make your getaway
Then you know
That itīs one fine day
Then you know
That itīs one fine day
10. All Along
Deep inside secretīs burning
I Should have known all the while whatīs true
I went along, to fool myself
Canīt go on, I canīt escape it
All along
I think I really knew
It was there in the words unspoken
All along
Still believed in you
Now I stand here betrayed and broken
Close my eyes from the burning
All along all the while itīs true
Take it on, or turn your back
Either way, you canīt escape it
All along
I think I really knew
It was there in the words unspoken
All along
Still believed in you
Now I stand here betrayed and broken
All along
I think I really knew
It was there in the words unspoken
All along
Still believed in you
Now I stand here betrayed and broken
All along
I still believed in you
11. Denial, Revisited
So here we go
Having the same old fight again
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
The right words
Things would work out all right
And if you go
I wonīt believe
That itīs forever
And you can go
Iīll never leave
Cause itīs not over
Replay last night
Talking it out donīt make it right
I know sheīs tried
My whole world is her and all weīve got now
And if you go
I wonīt believe
That itīs forever
I wonīt let go
Even if she say that itīs over
I know itīll be
Different this time
If youīd just stay
And when we wrote this story
How did it end?
It was you and me for all our lives
Come on, donīt say it
Weīll try again
And if Iīd just hold you
We could last
But she stands softly
Tears down her face
Hitting me, oh god
This is the end
Iīd wait here for you
But thereīs nothing more now I can do
How did you know
How did you know
How did you know
Finally
12. Vultures
Now I could lie by your side
All serrated for you
Down below cancer grows
Weeping waits inside you too
All our rage begs a stage
Itīs a waste of time though
And your style seems worthwhile
But this lonely road has turned
And you faded there
They pretend to care
Vultures waiting
If you donīt like me
Certify me
Yeah, I donīt know
Yeah, I wonīt go
Yeah, save it Iīm okay
Okay
And in the sun a loaded gun
Makes for conversation
All the while in denial
Itīs too late for me to change
And you were unchained
Nothing more had changed
I could fake it
If you still hate me
Confiscate me
Yeah, I donīt know, yeah
Yeah, I donīt know, yeah
Yeah, save it Iīm okay, okay
Yeah, I wonīt play, yeah
Yeah, go away, yeah
Yeah, save it Iīm okay, okay
And you were unchained
Nothing more had changed
I could fake it
If you still hate me
Confiscate me
Yeah, I donīt know, yeah
Yeah, I donīt know, yeah
Yeah, save it Iīm okay, okay
Yeah, I wonīt play, yeah
Yeah, go away, yeah
Yeah, save it Iīm okay, okay
