1. GREED
Everything you see you always think you need
You are so crazy motivated by greed
You never take responsibility, you only waste your time when you fuck with me

You'll feel pain like you've never known

But I know you won't be satisfied

Let's take a ride
Another dose of reality, it's your life that becomes a victim of me, think I'm
sick and you will see because
Victim of reality
Screaming in my head, telling me the path that I tread, it's not sane
But it's where we're fed, you're gonna end up dead, 't's not something new to me
A body in the street, free publicity
For me and you, a world we've known, a world that is so cold because
Victim of reality
Screaming in my head, telling me the path that I tread it's not sane
But it's where we're fed, you're gonna end up dead
You're gonna end up dead (x4)
Screaming in my head, telling me the path that I tread it's not sane
But it's where we're fed, you're gonna end up, voices
Screaming in my head, telling me the path that I tread it's not sane
But it's where we're fed, you're gonna end up dead5. MIGHT BE A DREAM
The look in your eyes
Tells me you can't disguise
Why won't you try and face the truth
You're stuck
Nowhere
I can see that you don't care
Doesn't seem like it means much to you
Instead it means nothing
It could be everything you wanted it to be, might be a dream
Instead it means nothing
It could be everything you wanted it to be, might be a dream
Wasting your time away
Afraid to try, afraid to lose
Don't know why you can't see
You could have everything
Or nothing at all, it's up to you
Instead it means nothing
It could be everything you wanted it to be, might be a dream
Instead it means nothing
It could be everything you wanted it to be, might be a dream
All you want it be
Keep getting closer day by day
Images in your head
And they won't go away
If you don't try you'll only fail, it might be a dream
Instead it means nothing
It could be everything you wanted it to be, might be a dream
Instead it means nothing
It could be everything you wanted it to be, might be a dream
It might be a dream (x3)6. STILL CAN BE GREAT
And every time you try to change something always goes wrong
And by the time you figured it out everything you wanted was gone
Do you know there is a way to be everything you always want to be?
Can I say if you start today, begin to make your own reality
(Ohoh)
It may never be perfect, there's no one to blame
(Ohoh)
When you feel 'self going down
(Going down)
Pick yourself up off the ground
It may never be perfect, it still can be great
But you can find what you're looking for only if you're willing to try
Do you know there is a way to be everything you always want to be?
Can I say if you start today, begin to make your own reality
(Ohoh)
It may never be perfect, there's no one to blame
(Ohoh)
When you feel 'self going down
(Going down)
Pick yourself up off the ground
It may never be perfect, it still can be great
And by the time you figured it out everything you wanted was gone
Do you know there is a way to be everything you always want to be?
Can I say if you start today, begin to make your own reality
(Ohoh)
It may never be perfect, there's no one to blame
(Ohoh)
When you feel 'self going down
(Going down)
Pick yourself up off the ground
It may never be perfect, it still can be great
Still can be great7. STRAIGHT AHEAD

I got my way of life
Then I won't back down or apologize for things I cannot change
Guess I gotta do things my own way and I don't give a damn
If you got a problem with who I am cause I don't give a fuck
You wanna change me, you're outta luck and I don't know if I
I could never ever change and I don't think that I
I would want to anyway and I don't care if I
Never live to see the day, we can't compromise
I'm doing things my own way
That we can see the world so differently and we don't realize
Cause we can't see the world through each other's eyes, we'll never understand
And I don't think that anybody can, I won't change anyway
Cause I'm just stubborn, stuck in our ways and I don't know if I
And I could never ever change and I don't think that I
And I would want to anyway and I don't care if I
Never live to see the day, we can't compromise
I'm doing things my own way
9. ONE VOICE
A million faces are blurred in today
A million lifes that are so far away, I'm all alone and I want you to know, I
want to scream but there's nowhere to go
A million voices are making the cry
A million lifes that are waiting to die, a million families are wasting away,
split by decision, it must go away
(Ohoh)
Is gonna die, wasting away in a world full of lies, song unseen
(Ohoh) (x2)
Another day, somehow tomorrow, somehow today, if you don't listen you'll never
learn, watch yourself or you might get burned
(Ahah)
(Ohoh) (x2)
Isn't it time to tell yourself I've got to get out, I've got to go, we've got to
be one voice
(Ohoh)
(Ahah) (x2)
How many times will we just look away, how many voices cry to be heard,
screaming alone but no one hears a word
How many faces alone in the crowd
Waiting for answers, facing the clouds, how much longer do we have to wait,
time's running out and there's no time to waste
(Ohoh)
Is gonna die, wasting away in a world full of lies, song unseen
(Ohoh) (x2)
Another day, somehow tomorrow, somehow today, if you don't listen you'll never
learn, watch yourself or you might get burned
(Ahah)
(Ohoh) (x2)
Isn't it time to tell yourself I've got to get out, I've got to go, we've got to
be one voice
(Ohoh)
(Ahah) (x2)
(We've got to be one voice today) (x2)10. ALIEN
Everyday convince myself of everything I can and can't believe
Abused, confused

Afraid, deranged
Stand by while all your dreams get trampled in the dust
Leave now before your slick machines begin to rust
Last chance, farewell among us
(Why)
Afraid, deranged
Abused, confused
Stand by while all your dreams get trampled in the dust
Leave now before your slick machines begin to rust
Last chance, farewell among us
Afraid, deranged
Stand by while all your dreams get trampled in the dust
Leave now before your slick machines begin to rust
Last chance, farewell among us
11. WATCH ME AS I FALL
I am a puppet on a string
I am the worst thing, worst thing you've ever seen, I am impossible to believe
I'm pulled by gravity, shocked by my depravity and I am irrational
I'm illogical
Hypocritical, a bleeding heart liberal
I'm an alien
Dressed like Gideon
And I'm a malcontent, a thorough modern idiot, watch me as I fall
What motivates me, something I can't explain, I am outrageous and insane
I'm fueled by gasoline, alcohol and nicotine and I am irrational
I'm illogical
Walking chemical, a bleeding heart liberal
I'm an alien
Dressed like Gideon
And I'm a malcontent, a thorough modern idiot, watch me as I fall
Watch me as I fall (x4)
I am a slave to my abuse, convicted, caught with no excuse, I'm pathetic,
apathetic, disillusioned, disconnected, I am lost, I am free, I'm impossible to
believe
I'm irrational, I'm illogical, hypocritical, statistically impossible
I'm an alien
Dressed like Gideon
And I'm a malcontent, a thorough modern idiot, watch me as I fall
Watch me as I fall (x2)
Watch me as I fall, watch me as I fall12. JUST FOR YOU
Confusion just set in, it always does, where does life begin, you never
know, you won't know until it hits you
You always play the game
You play to kill, you won't see it coming
Don't you wanna see a change just for you?
Just for you (x2)
Feel it everyday
Your only hope, it could change tomorrow
Don't you wanna see a change just for you?
You wanna see a change before you throw it all away
Something has gotta break just for you
Just for you (x3)
Don't you wanna see a change just for you?
You wanna see a change before you throw it all away
Something has gotta break just for you
Just for you (x3)13. CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE
Thought you could face the world, now you lost your nerve
All the things you held so close till the tables turned
And when I tried to warn you still you took the risk
How did you know we'd drift apart, how did you know it would come to this?
You're just a part of my life, a memory I wanna burn
You won't face the truth
I can't live with all your lies, I can't take more of your abuse, no, I can't
take, take anymore
Don't apologize to even the score
Hypocrisy and unity, they're not just words to me, no, I can't take, take
anymore
I could write it up in the sky, I still don't think that you could see
You won't face the truth
I can't live with all your lies, I can't take more of your abuse, no, I can't
take, take anymore
Don't apologize to even the score
Hypocrisy and unity, they're not just words to me, no, I can't take, take
anymore
All the life you took from me you can't disguise, will never fade
So don't look for the answers or somewhere to place the blame
There's nothing that can save you now, can't get back what you threw away
You won't face the truth
I can't live with all your lies, I can't take more of your abuse, no, I can't
take, take anymore
Don't apologize to even the score
Hypocrisy and unity, they're not just words to me, no, I can't take, take
anymore14. AMERICAN DREAM
Things you can't deny, you best believe it, everything you wanted is gone
Struck down although you don't like it, nothing of value to be found
Violence breeds violence, you know we'll never stop it, for progress we will
protect the game
We struck the fuse, you can't refuse it, the memory is all that will remain
The temperature is ready to burst, the future is not what it seems for the
American dream
Knocked down the sound of it collapsing, so loud no one can hear
Mindless old tyrants, do you hear the sirens song that will herald your demise
Excessive sessions on your transgressions, we're all left sifting through the
lies
The temperature is ready to burst, the future is not what it seems for the
American dream
The American dream
Struck down although you don't like it, nothing of value can be found
The temperature is ready to burst, the future is not what it seems for the
American dream
The American dream, the American dream, the American dream, the American dream
What you can do for your country
Ask what your country can do for you15. NEED MORE
Everything you say to me is a lie
You've lost control, all you say
Is just a mask for what you feel
Down deep inside and I don't care about getting your respect
Not in your eyes, it's just an illusion, a faded dream of what we had
And so much more so if you wanted to ask
(If you wanna ask)
Then I think you should know
(Think that you should know)
And I've given up on the past
Now I know that I need more this time (x2)
You look away, now I know
That you are never gonna change, you've lost control, I wanna know how you lost
your self respect?
You are so blind, it's not an illusion and I can't understand why you don't want
more so if you wanted to ask
(If you wanna ask)
Then I think you should know
(Think that you should know)
And I've given up on the past
Now I know that I need more this time (x3)
16. NEVER KNOW
With so much bullshit what can you believe
A million lifes all divided by greed
No way to stop it, no way to erase what we all cannot face
Sometimes the thunder, it slowly creeps in
Makes us all wonder, where did it begin?
No way to stop it, only it will grow to what we will never know
No way to stop it if no one can see, we've gotta take control or we will never
know
Say what you wanna say
There's no tomorrow if we don't start today, we've gotta take control or we will
never know, never know
What does it matter, it's not happening to you
No, you can't stop it, can't wish it away, it happens more everyday
When will we stand up, when will be heard?
They go on screaming, no one hears a word
No way to stop it, only it will grow to what we will never know
No way to stop it if no one can see, we've gotta take control or we will never
know
Say what you wanna say
There's no tomorrow if we don't start today, we've gotta take control or we will
never know, never know
We'll never know
No way to stop it if no one can see, we've gotta take control or we will never
know, never know
Never know, we'll never know, never know, we'll never know17. BADGE OF PRIDE
All the bullshit that I see, so much I can't believe, grown man just tryin'
to be true to myself impossibly
I may not ever get rich, might wind up diggin' a ditch, won't cry and I won't
bitch, I won't back down, I'll never quit
Say what you wanna say, not listening anyway, I'll believe what I wanna believe,
true to myself that's how it's gotta be
But somehow I was saved, now I'm standing here today, now I do things my own way
cause I'm never going back again
Say what you wanna say, not listening anyway, I'll believe what I wanna believe,
true to myself that's how it's gotta be
That's how it's gotta be, yeah (x2)
I may not ever get rich, might wind up diggin' a ditch, won't cry and I won't
bitch, I won't back down, I'll never quit
Say what you wanna say, not listening anyway, I'll believe what I wanna believe,
true to myself that's how it's gotta be
That's how it's gotta be, yeah, how it's gotta be (x2)
