one more day, mushroomhead.

Cancelled compasion
This our ignorance
Smile everlasting
Much less eminenet
Daytime is everything
One more day to regret
One more day to regret

In my eyes i see
Free deleverance
Love everlasting
Such is punishment
You take me higher
Than the lowest place yet

One more day to regret
(one more day)
One more day to regret
(one more day to regret)
One more day to regret
(one more day,one more day)
You take me higher (one more day to regret)
Than the lowest place
You take me higher
Than the lowest place
(both) you take me higher
Than the lowest place yet
(than the lowest place yet)

(than the lowest place yet)

Cancelled compasion
This our ignorance
Smile everlasting
Much less eminenet
Daytime is everything
One more day to regret

One more day to regret
(one more day)
One more day to regret (one more day)
(one more day to regret)
One more day to regret
(one more day,one more day)
You take me higher (one more day to regret)
Than the lowest place
You take me higher (one more day)
Than the lowest place (one more day)
You take me higher (one more day to regret)
Than the lowest place yet (one more day to regret)
(one more day)
One more day to regret
(one more day to regret)
One more day to regret

Smokin' In The Boys Room
Brownsville Station


(Spoken)
How you doin' out there? Y'ever seem to have one of those days
where it just seems like everybody's gettin' on your case, from
your teacher all the way down to your best girlfriend? Well,
y'know, I used to have 'em just about all the time. But I found
a way to get out of 'em. Let me tell you about it!

(Sung)
Sitting in the classroom / Thinking it's a drag
Listening to the teacher rap / Just ain't my bag
The noon bells ring / You know that's my cue
I'm gonna meet the boys / On floor number two!
Smokin' in the boys' room
Smokin' in the boys' room
Now, teacher, don't you fill me up with your rules
But everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school.
A-checkin' out the halls / Makin' sure the coast is clear
Lookin' in the stalls / No, there ain't nobody here
Oh, my buddy Fang, and me and Paul
To get caught would surely be the death of us all
Smokin' in the boys' room
Smokin' in the boys' room
Now, teacher, don't you fill me up with your rules
But everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school.
All right!
Oh, put me to work / In the school book store
Check out counter / And I got bored
Teacher was lookin' / For me all around
Two hours later / You know where I was found
Smokin' in the boys' room (Yes indeed, I was)
Smokin' in the boys' room
Now, teacher, don't you fill me up with your rules
But everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school.
One mo'!
Smokin' in the boys' room
Oh, smokin' in the boys' room
Now, teacher, I am fully aware of the rules
But everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school!

nowhere to go, mushroomhead.

Mornings gone
Echoes of dawn
Shaking my soul
All but done
Delirious
The rain with the cold

With nowhere to go
(life destroyed Half this body Figure head To end life Have i survived)

Nowhere to go
(we've been brought here for a reason Be it fate words and all treason Things will be saved Only a days waged As be plead for something to believe in)

Bringing doubt
Full of without
Of something to hold
I errode
Faith like alone
Shrink inside as i departe the throne
(life destroyed Half this body Figure head To end life Have i survived)

With nowhere to go
(life destroyed Half this body Figure head To end life Have i survived)

One by one til we are all alone
(have i survived)

Nowhere to go
(life destroyed half this body Figure head To end life Have i Survived Breath cant i can feel the knife Widen on this grip Confession of a fallen king Ill do almost anything Not to be alive today)

If i could end this way of greed
Its came through a scream
And feel like i have won some way
Wade thru this dark decay
Welcome an early grave
And put my heart away
To start another game
Its getting old
With nowhere to go
(hollow hate To not to breath Sink inisde To my displease Pain indide Desides my fate Delirium in this painted face)

All alone
More than you'll know
One by one til we are all alone
(life destroyed Half this body Figure head To end life Have i survived)

With nowhere to go
(life destroyed Half this body Figure head To end life Have i survived)

Shrink inside as i depart the throne
(have i survived?)

Nowhere to go
(life destroyed this body Have i survived)

One by one til we are all alone
With nowhere to go
Theres nothing left to prove
What do we have to prove?

Theres nothing left to lose (good bye)
No where to go (goodbye)

Let The Good Times Roll
B.B. King, Bobby Bland

Hey everybody, let's have some fun
You only live for once and when you're dead you're done
So let the good times roll, let the good times roll
And live a long long
I don't care if you are young or old no no,
\get together and let the good times roll

Don't stand there moaning, talking trash
If you wanna have some fun,
You'd better go out and spend some cash
And let the good time roll
Let the good time roll
I don't care if you young or old,
Get together and let the good times roll

Don't stand there moaning, talking trash
If you wanna have some fun,
You'd better go out and spend some cash
And let the good time roll
Let the good time roll
I don't care if you young or old,
Get together and let the good times roll

Hey mister landlord, lock up all the doors
When the police comes around,
Tell them Johnny's coming down
Let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
And Lord I don't care if you young or old,
That's good enough to let the good times roll

Hey everybody!
Tell everybody !
That B.B. and Bobby's in town
I got a dollar and a quarter
And I'm just raring to clown
Don't let nobody play me cheap
I got fifty cents to know that I'm gonna keep
Let the good times roll
I don't care if you young or old
Let's get together and let the good times roll

[*End Is Forever*]

Taking Back Sunday
You Know How I Do

So sick (so sick) of being tired, and oh-so-tired of being sick
We're both such magnificent liars, so crush me baby, I'm all ears
So obviously desperate... so desperately obvious
I'll give in one more time and feed you stupid lines all about "cleaning up my act..."

We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore...
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore...
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore...
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore...

So sick (so sick) of being tired, and oh-so-tired of being sick
Willing and waiting to prove the worst of everything you say about me
So obviously desperate... so desperately obvious
So good at setting bad examples, but you see I've had all I can handle

We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore...
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore...
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore...
We won't stand for hazy eyes anymore...

Think of all the fun you had... the finest line divides a night well spent from a waste of time... think of all the dayss you spent alone with just your T.V. set and... I can barely smile...

He's smoked out in the back of the van, says he's held up with holding on and on and on and on and on...

He's smoked out in the back of the van, says he's held up with holding on and on and on and on and on...

Two For Tuesday; For Veteran's Day

American Soldier
Toby Keith


I'm just trying to be a father
Raise a daughter and a son
Be a lover to their mother
Everything to everyone
Up and at 'em, bright and early
I'm all business in my suit
Yeah, I'm dressed up for success, from my head down to my boots
I don't do it for money, there's bills that I can't pay
I don't do it for the glory, I just do it anyway
Providing for our future's my responsibility

Yeah I'm real good under pressure, being all that I can be
And I can't call in sick on Mondays when the weekend's been too strong
I just work straight through the holidays
And sometimes all night long
You can bet that I stand ready when the wolf growls at the door
Hey, I'm solid, hey I'm steady, hey I'm true down to the core

And I will always do my duty no matter what the price
I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice
Oh, and I don't want to die for you
But if dyin's asked of me
I'll bear that cross with honor
'Cause freedom don't come free

I'm an American soldier, an American
Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand
When liberty's in jeopardy I will always do what's right
I'm out here on the front lines, sleep in peace tonight
American soldier, I'm an American soldier

Yeah, an American soldier, an American
Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand
When liberty's in jeopardy I will always do what's right
I'm out here on the front line, so sleep in peace tonight
American soldier, I'm an American
An American
An American soldier

America Will Survive
Hank Williams Jr.


People think it's nearly the end of time
Cause we're together and we've drawn the line
Our flag is up, the stock markets down
But we're all united from the country to the town

We live back in the woods you see
Big city problems never bothered me
But the world has changed and so have I
And America can survive
America will survive

We can plow our fields all day long
We can catch catfish from dusk till dawn
Yea we have toughed it out a time or two
Ain't to many things these boys and girls can't do
We grow good ole tomatoes, we got hometown pride
And America can survive
America will survive.

Cause you can't scare us out and you make us run
Cause were them old boys that have freedom and fun
We say grace and we say ma'am
If they don't like that, we don't give a damn
We came from the West Virginia coal mines
The Rocky Mountains and the big city skylines
We can hit back and we're gonna' be fine
Cause this country can survive
America will survive

I had a good friend in New York City
Never called me by my name, just hillbilly
My grandpa taught me how to live off the land
And his taught him to be a good businessman
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights
I'd send him some of granddaddy Williams homemade muscadine wine
He was lost like so many in the terrible strife
we're all asking God, why oh why
A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye
That's an old slogan we're gonna' revive
Because America can survive
America will survive

Cause you can't scare us out, and you can't make us run
we're them boys and girls with freedom and fun
We say grace and we say ma'am
If they don't like that, we give less than a damn
We're from North California and South Alabam'
And all they've done is unite this whole land
There's no more Yankees and Rebels this time
But one united people that stand behind
America can survive
America will survive

Constantine P. Cavafy (1903)

Thermopylae

Honor to those who in their lives
have defined and guard their Thermopylae.
Never stirring from duty;
just and upright in all their deeds,
yet with pity and compassion too;
generous when they are rich, and when
they are poor, again a little generous,
again helping as much as they can;
always speaking the truth,
yet without hatred for those who lie.

And more honor is due to them
when they foresee (and many do foresee)
that Ephialtes will finally appear,
and that the Medes in the end will go through.

Why Can't We Be Friends?
War



Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

I seen ya around for a long long time
I really remember you when you drank my wine

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

I pay my money to the welfare line
I see ya standing in it every time

The color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as we can live in harmony

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

I'd kinda' like to be the president
So I could show you how your money's spent

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

Sometimes I don't speak right
But yet I know what I'm talking about

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

I know you're working for the CIA
They wouldn't have you in the mafia

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends

A Freight Train Is Comming My Way

No Leaf Clover
Metallica

And it feels right this time
On this crash course we’re in the big time
Pay no mind to the distant thunder
Beauty fills his head with wonder, boy....

Says it feels right this time
Turn around, found new high lights
Good day to be alive sir
Good day to be alive, he said.....

Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Is just a freight train coming your way
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Is just the freight train coming your way

Don’t it feel right like this
All the pieces fall to his wish
Suck up for that quick reward boy
Suck up for that quick reward they said.....

Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Is just a freight train coming your way
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Is just the freight train coming your way......
It’s coming your way
It’s coming your way......
Here comes

Yeah, then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Is just a freight train coming your way.... yeah...
Then it comes to be, yeah...
Then it comes to be, yeah...
Then it comes to be, yeah...

Then it comes to be, yeah...
Then it comes to be, yeah...

Bleeding Me
Metallica


I’m diggin’ my way
I’m diggin’ my way to somethin’
I’m diggin’ my way to somethin’ better

I’m pushin’ to stay
I’m pushin’ to stay with something
I’m pushin’ to stay with something better

I’m sowing the seeds
I’m sowing the seeds I’ve taken
I’m sowing the seeds I take for granted

This thorn in my side
This thorn in my side is from the tree
This thorn in my side is from the tree I’ve planted
It tears me and I bleed
And I bleed

Caught under wheels roll
I take the leech
I’m bleeding me
Can’t stop to save my soul
I take the leash that’s leading me
I’m bleeding me
I can’t take it
Caught under wheels roll
Oh, the bleeding of me
Of me
The bleeding of me

Caught under wheels roll
I take the leech
I’m bleeding me
Can’t stop to save my soul
I take the leash that’s leading me
I’m bleeding me
I can’t take it
Caught under wheels roll
Oh, the bleeding of me
Oh, the bleeding of me

I am the beast that bleeds the feast
I am the blood
I am release
Come make me pure
Bleed me a cure
I’m caught, I’m caught, I’m caught under

Caught under wheels roll
I take that leech
I’m bleeding me
Can’t stop to save my soul
I take the leash that’s leading me
I’m bleeding me
I can’t take it
I can’t take it
I can’t take it
Oh, the bleeding of me

I’m diggin’ my way
I’m diggin’ my way to somethin’
I’m diggin’ my way to something better

I’m pushin’ to stay
I’m pushin’ to stay with somethin’
I’m pushin’ to stay with something better
With something better

Paris


Je marche dans tes rues
Qui me marchent sur les pieds
Je bois dans tes cafés

Je traîne dans tes métros
Tes trottoirs m'aiment un peu trop
Je rêve dans tes bistrots

Je m'assoie sur tes bancs
Je regarde tes monuments
Je trinque à la santé de tes amants

Je laisse couler ta seine
Sous tes ponts ta rengaine
Toujours après la peine

Je pleure dans tes taxis
Quand tu brilles sous la pluie
C'que t'es belle en pleine nuit

Je pisse dans tes caniveaux
C'est d'la faute à Hugo
Et j'picolle en argot

Je dors dans tes hôtels
J'adore ta tour Eiffel
Au moins elle, elle est fidèle

Quand j'te quitte un peu loin
Tu ressembles au chagrin
Ça m'fait un mal de chien

Paris Paris combien
Paris tout c'que tu veux
Boul'vard des bouleversés
Paris tu m'as renversé
Paris tu m'as laissé

Paris Paris combien
Paris tout c'que tu veux
Paris Paris tenu

Paris Paris perdu
Paris tu m'as laissé
Sur ton pavé

J'me réveille dans tes bras
Sur tes quais y a d'la joie
Et des loups dans tes bois

J'me glisse dans tes cinés
J'me perds dans ton quartier
Je m'y retrouverai jamais

Je nage au fil de tes gares
Et mon regard s'égare
J'vois passer des cafards sur tes bars

J'm'accroche aux réverbères
Tes pigeons manquent pas d'air
Et moi de quoi j'ai l'air

Paris Paris combien
Paris tout c'que tu veux
Boul'vard des bouleversés
Paris tu m'as renversé
Paris tu m'as laissé

Paris Paris combien
Paris tout c'que tu veux
Paris Paris tenu
Paris Paris perdu
Paris tu m'as laissé
Sur ton pavé

Je marche dans tes rues
Qui me marchent sur les pieds
Je bois dans tes cafés

Je traîne dans tes métros
Tes trottoirs m'aiment un peu trop
Je rêve dans tes bistrots

Jeune et con

Encore un jour se lève sur la planète France
Et je sors doucement de mes rêves je rentre dans la danse
Comme toujours il est huit heures du soir j'ai dormi tout le jour
Je me suis encore couché trop **** je me suis rendu sourd

Encore
Encore une soirée où la jeunesse France
Encore elle va bien s'amuser puisqu' ici rien n'a de sens
Alors on va danser faire semblant d'être heureux
Pour aller gentiment se coucher mais demain rien n'ira mieux

Puisqu'on est jeune et con
Puisqu'ils sont vieux et fous
Puisque des hommes crèvent sous les ponts
Mais ce monde s'en fout
Puisqu'on est que des pions
Contents d'être à genoux
Puisque je sais qu'un jour nous gagnerons à devenir fous

Encore un jour se lève sur la planète France
Mais j'ai depuis longtemps perdu mes rêves je connais trop la danse
Comme toujours il est huit heures du soir j'ai dormi tout le jour
Mais je sais qu'on est quelques milliards à chercher l'amour

Encore
Encore une soirée où la jeunesse France
Encore elle va bien s'amuser dans cet état d'urgence
Alors elle va danser faire semblant d'exister
Qui sait si l'on ferme les yeux on vivra vieux

Puisqu'on est jeune et con
Puisqu'ils sont vieux et fous
Puisque des hommes crèvent sous les ponts
Mais ce monde s'en fout
Puisqu'on est que des pions
Contents d'être à genoux
Puisque je sais qu'un jour nous nous aimerons
Comme des fous

Encore un jour se lève sur la planète France
Où j'ai depuis longtemps perdu mes rêves je connais trop la danse
Comme toujours il est huit heures du soir j'ai dormi tout le jour
Mais je sais qu'on est quelques milliards à chercher l'amour

A Man Is A Man


You talk about crazy affairs
You talk about crazy affairs
You talk about your life as though it mattered
You talk about your life as though it mattered
You get attention 'cos you block the stairs
You get attention 'cos you block the stairs
Bragging about some bottles you have shattered
Bragging about some bottles you have shattered


Well I met a man who really lives
Well i met a man who really lives
He really does it all
He really does it all
But what really matters is the heart he gives
But what really matters is the heart he gives
He makes your talk seem small
He makes your talk seem small


When a man is a man
When a man is a man
He doesn't act to a plan
He doesn't act to a plan
He don't have to perform like John Wayne in some B feature flick
He don't have to perform like john wayne in some b feature flick
A man is a man
A man is a man
When he can offer his hand
When he can offer his hand
Not afraid of appearing insane if he can't break a brick
Not afraid of appearing insane if he can't break a brick
I know a man who's a man
I know a man who's a man


Can't you sometimes crack a smile
Can't you sometimes crack a smile
Do you think if you did we would run and tell
Do you think if you did we would run and tell
I know one day your big villian style
I know one day your big villian style
Will collapse as they turn the key in the door of your cell
Will collapse as they turn the key in the door of your cell


I know a man who was once like you
I know a man who was once like you
But he opened his heart

I woke up in a Soho doorway
I woke up in a soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
A policeman knew my name
He said 'You can go sleep at home tonight
He said "you can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away'
If you can get up and walk away"


I staggered back to the underground
I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin' punches around
I remember throwin' punches around
And preachin' from my chair

The Song Is Over

The song is over
It's all behind me
I should have known it
She tried to find me

Our love is over
They're all ahead now
I've got to learn it
I've got to sing out

Chorus:
I'll sing my song to the wide open spaces
I'll sing my heart out to the infinite sea
I'll sing my visions to the sky high mountains
I'll sing my song to the free, to the free
I'll sing my song to the wide open spaces
I'll sing my heart out to the infinite sea
I'll sing my visions to the sky high mountains
I'll sing my song to the free, to the free

Dirty Blvd.



Pedro lives out of the wilshire hotel
He looks out a window without glass
The walls are made of cardboard, newspapers on his feet
His father beats him ’cause he’s too tired to beg

He’s got 9 brothers and sisters
They’re brought up on their knees
It’s hard to run when a coat hanger beats you on the thighs
Pedro dreams of being older and killing the old man
But that’s a slim chance he’s going to the boulevard

He’s going to end up, on the dirty boulevard
He’s going out, to the dirty boulevard
He’s going down, to the dirty boulevard

This room cost 2,000 dollars a month
You can believe it man it’s true
Somewhere a landlord’s laughing till he wets his pants
No one here dreams of being a doctor or a lawyer or anything
They dream of dealing on the dirty boulevard

Give me your hungry, your tired your poor I’ll piss on ’em
That’s what the statue of bigotry says
Your poor huddled masses, let’s club ’em to death
And get it over with and just dump ’em on the boulevard

Get to end up, on the dirty boulevard
Going out, to the dirty boulevard
He’s going down, on the dirty boulevard
Going out

Outside it’s a bright night
There’s an opera at lincoln center
Movie stars arrive by limousine
The klieg lights shoot up over the skyline of manhattan
But the lights are out on the mean streets

A small kid stands by the lincoln tunnel
He’s selling plastic roses for a buck
The traffic’s backed up to 39th street
The tv whores are calling the cops out for a suck

And back at the wilshire, pedro sits there dreaming
He’s found a book on magic in a garbage can
He looks at the pictures and stares at the cracked ceiling
"at the count of 3" he says, "i hope I can disappear"

And fly fly away, from this dirty boulevard
I want to fly, from dirty boulevard
I want to fly, from dirty boulevard
I want to fly-fly-fly-fly, from dirty boulevard

I want to fly away
I want to fly
Fly, fly away
I want to fly
Fly-fly away (fly a-)
Fly-fly-fly (-way, ooohhh...)
Fly-fly away (I want to fly-fly away)
Fly away (I want to fly, wow-woh, no, fly away)

Keep On Rockin' In The Free World
Neil Young

There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign
on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin'
we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan,
but I am to them
So I try to forget it,
any way I can.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away,
and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life,
and what she's done to it
There's one more kid
that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love,
never get to be cool.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores
and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes
for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people,
says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn,
got roads to drive.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
