Set up and going to do it myself, With refined design, then we're somewhere else. Break all your bones to free yourself. With enlightened minds, then we're somewhere else. Take what you want to, be rebellious. Sight your mind, then you're somewhere else. What did you say? You mock yourself. You can't buy revolutions.

I'm trying hard to find something I lost a while ago And now it seems so hard to remember We keep it all inside, locked away But right now I want to scream it out, I want to tell you I'm hanging on but it's all gone wrong Just like you said, I lost my way If only we could reach our peak and keep it all the time Because it's you, you're running round in my head Yes it's true, you're hanging out in my head I'll take it all today James Michael Cooper says I'll demonstrate the way, it's not that hard to remember Just put your foot in hard, stay sharp and stand your guard Looking good in that Parker, let me tell you I'm hanging on but it's all gone wrong Just like you said, I lost my way If only we could reach our peak and keep it all the time Because it's you, you're running round in my head Yes it's true, you're hanging out in my head Please try not to forget good things you've done and said Stay on the right road, it's not that hard to remember Think first before you light the fuse and start the fight Don't play the fool tonight on your Lambretta You've taken your distraught and temperamental thoughts Right out of all proportion. Let me tell you I'm hanging on but it's all gone wrong Just like you said I lost my way I'm hear again, but I've lost my friends I'm here again. Sincere again?

Your talk of revolution's prostitution When all is said and done, you know I wanna be a drunken fighter, Sleazy rider, cos limitation son is all you'll ever see. So build me up I'll knock you down, I'll steal your crown I will Because I want be a super-natural disaster Faster than you ever could imagine I'd be son Because I know it and it makes me feel insane If you want it I could tell you, if I could remember my own name But I wish you'd always say what you want to Just like I always wanted to be If you always say what you mean to Then you'll not always turn out like me Build me up I'll knock you down, I'll steal your crown, I will, Because I want be a super-natural disaster Faster than you ever could imagine I'd be son Because I know it and it makes me feel insane If you want it I could tell you, if I could remember my own name. But I wish you'd always say what you want to Just like I always wanted to be If you always say what you mean to Then you'll not always turn out like me

Ghosts 05:06
Calling all offenders Calling all in range You devout pretenders Are about to change 'Cos I'll push you down again I will knock you sideways You'll be down with those When the fun is over I will break your nose Then I'll push you down again Yeah, I'll push you down again But if I fall then who might come? Because after all, we're on the outside. This is not your problem And you're not my friend So don't kid yourself I'm On the mend 'Cos I'll push you down again Yeah, I'll push you down again But if I fall then who might come? Because after all, we're on the outside. Will we be freed from the ghosts that come? Funny how we played before. Will we be freed from the ghosts that come? We'll be freed from the ghosts that come

Honest 04:54
Anywhere you wanna go You'll see I'm right behind you Anything you wanna know You'll see it's lost inside You don't understand the things I told you 'Though they're for better reasons But wait in line You don't understand the reason why I let you go, I gave you freedom You will in time If I ever break my promise Then please don't cry I was never really honest Though you try you'll never know Just how much how much love you hide Honestly you'll never grow If you keep it all inside You don't understand the things I told you 'Though they're for better reasons Don't waste your time You don't understand the reason why I let you go, I gave you freedom You will in time If I ever break my promise Then please don't cry I was never really honest Deep inside If I ever break my promise Then please don't cry I was never really honest And all you ever needed was to be yourself It's all ever you ever wanted luck from someone else All you ever needed was to be yourself Because that's how much you tried You keep it all inside Now run away and hide I'm coming

Would you believe it? And wouldn't you know That now that you've seen it You can't let go Just because you heard him say it's that way Doesn't mean that it's ok Because we're coming to get you Yeah, we're coming around This isn't a threat, You'll be hitting the ground We're going to smash all your windows And we'll blow up your town We'll leave you hanging in limbo Where nothing's going to bring you down. So maybe it's raining But looks like you're dry So stop your complaining And don't ask why Just because you heard him say it's that way Doesn't mean that it's ok Because we're coming to get you Yeah, we're coming around This isn't a threat, You'll be hitting the ground We're going to smash all your windows And we'll blow up your town We'll leave you hanging in limbo Where nothing's going to bring you down.

There's water on the floor by the chain store, just behind the door You saw it smoking but you just couldn't get it Jones, he lit the fire as his head got higher Crying maniacally "You liar, now you're going to regret it" He broke into the school hall, dirty black soil All he swore he said was sacred' "But you just don't get it" Doing you a favour Attitude to saviour Gave you opportunities He said it's to his credit You keep on burning me baby You keep on reeling me in Can't say this fusion is crazy I don't know where to begin He broke into the school hall, dirty black soil All he swore he said was sacred' "But you just don't get it" Doing you a favour Attitude to saviour Gave you opportunities He said it's to his credit Spoken like a stoned man "You just don't get it" You keep on burning me baby You keep on reeling me in Can't say this fusion is crazy I don't know where to begin

Conversations lately in the main don't seem to be the same Though seems that you can get it all today I'll believe it when I see it. Not anticipating These photogenic people on your TV, singing on your CD Make me wanna start a war today I'll be leaving when I see it and I won't be waiting There's violence everywhere, I don't care, I don't vote Cos it won't make a difference to the way I'm bored today I believe it's ever so frustrating Maybe I'd try a bit more if you told me what I'm fighting for If you told me why you're whining on and on and on and on You're always gonna be ignored, 'cos you've got nothing to say Conversations lately in the main don't seem to be the same Though seems that you can get it all today I'll believe it when I see it but I won't be waiting These photogenic people on your TV, singing on your CD Make me wanna start a war today I believe it's ever so frustrating Maybe I'd try a bit more if you told me what I'm fighting for If you told me why you're whining on and on and on and on You're always gonna be ignored, 'cos you've got nothing to say You've got nothing to say

Pocket of rizla and a fire lighter, Rockets your vision gives you higher sighting. Bang on about it 'cos it makes you feel good, Scream it and shout it 'cos you're made of real blood. You make it real and you don't pretend and You'll have me feel like it's never ending. Baby we're going on another bender, Spend all your money on a soul weekender. Oh yeah. Come on yeah. Check your soul.

Retribution 07:49
Go again but don't you get buried Said the man before This deed was over Now they're burring down his door Hail no to repercussions Hail no to consequence Hail no to retribution On my first offence So then I won't get buried And no, I won't be told My dream is over Won't be nothing when I'm old But if it's all you can manage Just to disagree Go take your sleep Don't leave the nightlight on for me Go again but don't you get buried Go ahead but don't you get buried You might not be wasted You've got to chew it if you taste Don't have to do it, though they may have said it's for you Leads start falling Police start calling I'm not warning you So face the cold and break the mould And take the old fake documents right down your favourite station What complication! 'Cos when it's done it's done Though you'll deny it for fifteen years On no. Say you're an honest bloke, they'll hope you choke So go ahead get buried But no, you won't be told Your dream is over Won't be nothing when you're old But if it's all you can manage Just to disagree Go take your sleep Don't leave the nightlight on for me Go again but don't you get buried Go ahead but don't you get buried You might not be wasted You've got to chew it if you taste Don't have to do it, though they may have said it's for you Leads start falling Police start calling I'm not warning you You see it's only done in recompense You might not be wasted You've got to chew it if you taste Don't have to do it, though they may have said it's for you Leads start falling Police start calling I'm not warning you You take all you can get All you can make from all that was said But it's all in good time All in good time All in good time I would embrace this moment for you All in good taste until we get through But it's all in good time All in good time All in good time
