- Always
Tonight you look like a dream
Then again, you always do to me
After everything we've been through
I still just love to look at you
I can't promise you there won't be pain
I can't promise to remain the same
- Burnadette
Who's that girl who knows all the answers?
(Burnadette, Burn-Burn-Burnadette)
Who bombed the club and torched all the dancers?
(Burnadette, Burn-Burn-Burnadette)
Who's got the cure for the modern blues?
(Burnadette, Burn-Burn-Burnadette)
Who's got a lighter and a two-inch fuse?
Burnadette! Burnadette! Burnadette!
- Chicago
When you sit on the train are you hit by the way that the city lights surround you?
Late at night when you ride do you look outside? Do you see it bright like I do?
All the people the places, the city faces they all take me in
All around, all the lost,all the found, all the everything in every instant
Oh Chicago knows how small we are
How bright she shines in the dark
Oh and though I go, she’s in my heart
- Crazy
In the darkness
I can feel it coming over me, slowly
I resist it
But my self-defense is low right now, I'm breaking down
Whoa-oh-oh, there's a body on the floor
And the crazies, the crazies are coming to life
Whoa-oh-oh, I can't take it anymore
- Eighteen
Eighteen at a traffic light I’ve got
Nowhere to be on a Friday night
I’ve got it all
I’ve got nothing
Summer’s here and I’m finally free, I’ve got
No work to do and no one to see
I’ve got it all
- Fight For You
To the left, to the right
I can feel them around
Out to get you and I
Out to try and break us down
They will come with the strength and the fire
And a numb beat of drums
And the song of the sirens in our ears
- Heads Up Hearts Down
Take a number, dear
Wait your turn and don't get out of line
Everything you fear
Paint it black in the back of your mind
You just go on breathing
Repeating
Heads up, hearts down
- Hero
Everybody wants to be saved by someone,
Someone who will come and solve all their problems.
No one wants to crash & burn and learn their lesson,
Just tell them where to put the blame and don't ask questions.
"Oh hoping here we go."
==================================
- Jimmy and Sally
Sally played guitar
Down in all the local bars
She dreamed of making it big
But Sally never got that far
Sally writes songs that nobody hears
But somehow that’s ok
All you gotta know so far is
Sally played the guitar
- Money
Green is where it's at
Green will never let you down
You can bet your life on that
Win the bet and buy a crown
Cuz when pushin comes to shove
Money conquers faith and love
You can buy 'em up for nothing down
- My Way
I'm not perfect, I'm just who I am
Is that okay?
Perfect's overdone and overplanned
In the modern age
Still you say you know what's best
I disagree but I know less
So then that leaves us back where we began
Your way
- No Kontrol
Oh-oh-oh-oh..
They say the root of all the evil is the dollar sign
That pain and problems are the product of the bottom line
I beg to differ as a victim of the new decline
It's not the money
It's the failure to define
There's no control
- No One Likes Superman Anymore
Strong hands, strong mind
Strong all the time
Straightforward and kind
Too simply defined
'Cause no one wants to know the man who stands for things we outgrow
He's too noble and too blind
We're all older now and we don't need someone to care about
- Not I
Everything you plant will die
The seasons all will pass you by
All your plans will go awry
So, who's afraid to live?
Not I.
Everyone you know will lie
Those you trust will make you cry
- Pretend
They came at night
No one was watching
And they travel light
Before we knew
They’d taken over
And now they’ve come for you
- Rewind
I'm twisted up inside, but nonetheless I feel the need to stay
I don't know the future, but the past keeps getting clearer every day
I know they weren't the best of times
I didn't pass the test, or know my lines
But it wouldn't change a thing
‘Cause all those days were mine
- Save World Get Girl
Surrounded
In the thick of it
Nowhere to run away, not today
Outnumbered
That's the trick of it
No more to lose, and so here we go now...
Don't turn around
- Seek and Destroy
Get a gold kid, get a grip on it
Find a focus, follow it, never quit
Get the good grades, go to college
Create a good job, buy a house, start again
They tell you
to be yourself
Then they turn you
- The Faster the Treadmill
Sun goes down, sun comes up
Days can drown in a plastic cup
In this town
In this town
Don't know how, don't know when
Something came but it left again
And I'm down
- The Future Soon
Last week I left a note on Laura’s desk
It said I love you signed anonymous friend
Turns out she’s smarter than I thought she was
She knows I wrote it, now the whole class does too
And I’m all alone during couple skate
When she skates by with some guy on her arm
But I know that I’ll forget the look of pity on her face
When I’m living in my solar dome on a platform in space
- The Geeks Will Inherit The Earth
I remember trying to talk to you in high school
Couldn't even get a look cause you were too cool
But now we're older and we're playing by the new rules
We lived and learned
Cause as time goes on
We find we belong
And then in the end
- With You
C
You say,
Am
Look outside
Em
Rain is pouring down
F C
Let's stay and hide.
