Starting Over
05:03
|

…again
So here I am, back from the dead
I’ve missed all the lies that you have fed
This smoke is rising
Over the horizon
The flame is out of control
What will this future hold?
Will we move forward?
Or is this world going backward?
Are we a reprise?
May you rest in peace?
Cos we’re starting over again
You don’t what to expect
But this time, it’s not fine
You missed me resurrect
It’s too late for your apologies
I’m moving on, as you should be
Our freedom has gone
This ticking time bomb
Will cause this chapter to erase
Mr. Betrayal laughs in your face
Bring back what you brought
Hold back what you thought
Is this a release?
May you rest in peace?
Cos we’re starting over again
You don’t what to expect
But this time, it’s not fine
You missed me resurrect
Resurrect again
What you see is what you get
How many times will you hit the net?
What you see is what you get
How many times will you lose the bet?
What you see is what you get
How many times will you forget?
What you see is what you get
How many times will you regret?
Will we move forward?
Or is this world going backward?
Are we a reprise?
May you rest in peace?
Bring back what you brought
Hold back what you thought
Is this a release?
May you rest in peace?
Cos we’re starting over again
You don’t what to expect
But this time, it’s not fine
You missed me resurrect
Starting over
You disrespect
Please recover
Resurrect now
What you see is what you get
How many times will you hit the net?
What you see is what you get
How many times will you lose the bet?
What you see is what you get
How many times will you forget?
What you see is what you get
How many times will you regret?

Our First Time
03:19
|
|||
Are we alone?
Do you know?
I don’t know what say
Your voice is surreally low
But why is that? Tell me
Do you want me?
To be with you through the night
Let’s make this a memory
So lock the door
And throw your arms around me
Clothes thrown on the floor
And let’s make this a memory
Turn out the lights
And take off your shoes
Get on the bed
And let me kiss you
I know you wanna feel the love in the air
Oh yeah!
You kiss lips, you bite my neck, can you feel it?
Take all the time you need, maybe even take the lead.
You lift me up, when I’m down, I can feel it
But something isn’t right; you haven’t said a word tonight
But why is that? Tell me
Should this be so tough?
All the way through the night
I’ll try not to be too rough
So lock the door
And throw your arms around me
Clothes thrown on the floor
And let’s make this a memory
Turn out the lights
And take off your shoes
Get on the bed
And let me kiss you
I know you wanna feel the love in the air
Oh yeah!
I know this
With all my heart and soul
Without you
This feeling is left in the cold
Whoa!

Modern Society Is An Ass
01:50
|
|||
(So what do you think of this credit crunch?)
(Well, you know I think it’s actually been blown out of proportion by the media. I mean, what do you think?)
(Well…)
You got the freaks and the maniacs on TV
I couldn’t really care it’s not on my street
You got number 10 thinking PM’s all a game
I couldn’t really give a shit I’m going insane
What’s going on? I don’t know
The people on the street are shooting people for the show
What’s going on? I don’t care
Cos no-one really wants to be part of the scare
Cos Modern Society is an Ass
You got the bitches and the swingers going out of control
I couldn’t really care; I’m not part of the parole
You got the money and the shit and all the prices to pay
I couldn’t really give a shit I’m going insane
FUCK!!
What’s going on? I don’t know
The people on the street are shooting people for the show
What’s going on? I don’t care
Cos no-one really wants to be part of the scare
Cos Modern Society is an Ass
Cos no-one wants to be just another friend
Could this be the beginning of the end?
What is going on?
Tell me what is going on?
What is going on?
Tell me what is going on?
Television’s brainwashed the nation
The radios killed off the nation
Magazines have hypnotized the nation
Everything’s fucked up the nation
What’s going on? I don’t know
The people on the street are shooting people for the show
What’s going on? I don’t care
Cos no-one really wants to be part of the scare
Cos Modern Society is an Ass
Cos Modern Society is an Ass
(And that’s what I think of the credit crunch)

Turned My Back On You
03:14
|
|||
Here you are again
Strutting your stuff today
You make me sick
You bragging about your new car
And what you did yesterday
You two-faced little dick
Stay away from me
You never wanna be
Don’t you give me all that shit
You’re such a hypocrite
You’re messing with my mind
But you’ll only find
I’ve turned my back on you
Once the day has ended
You sit back and relax
But I know, and we know and you don’t know
We’ve turned our backs
Stay away from us
Your day has turned to dust
Don’t you give me all that shit
You’re such a hypocrite
You’re messing with my mind
But you’ll only find
I’ve turned my back on you
Turned my back on you
Turned my back on you
Give up
Give up
Give up what you got
Give up
Give up
Give up what you’re not
Give up
Give up
Give up what you want
Give up
Give up
Give up your best shot
Once the day’s descended
Your habits will have ended
Stay away from me
You never wanna be
Stay away from us
Your day has turned to dust
You’re messing with my mind
But you’ll only find
I’ve turned my back on you
Don’t you give me all that shit
You’re such a hypocrite
You’re messing with my mind
But you’ll only find
I’ve turned my back on you
Turned my back on you
Turned my back on you

Facing Failure
02:46
|
|||
Well it’s time to talk
About the way you walk
You’re making people choke
About the way you joke
Living your life
Must be a bore
I see your little face
Looking out of place
So then you start a race
You can’t chase the pace
Living your life
Just looking to score
You’ll be facing failure
If you see me turning red
Then you’re the one to blame
We hated what you said
But you’re in it for the fame
You sleep in your deathbed
And you say you’re not ashamed
The truth of your big head
Is that you thrill this little game
It’s time to speak
About the way you sneak
Up to people’s backs
And you leave a smack
Living your life (outside, inside)
Must be so fun
I see your little eyes
With the look of despise
Watching people turn
Then you set the burn
Living your life (outside, inside)
Could you be so dumb?
You’ll be facing failure
If you see me turning red
Then you’re the one to blame
We hated what you said
But you’re in it for the fame
You sleep in your deathbed
And you say you’re not ashamed
The truth of your big head
Is that you thrill this little game
Feel the hate
If you see me turning red
Then you’re the one to blame
We hated what you said
But you’re in it for the fame
You sleep in your deathbed
And you say you’re not ashamed
The truth of your big head
Is that you thrill this little game

I Will Remain The Same
04:51
|
|||
Well I could be the one who makes his day
I could the one who says I’m okay
You need to know
I just wanna live my life
Cause I don’t need to trust no magic 8-ball
I don’t need to be 10 feet tall
I don’t wanna compromise
Cause I don’t want to end up turning back
I want you to cut me a little slack
Even if it isn’t always fun
What’s done is done
Don’t try to waste your time
I don’t wanna change for you, for me, for anyone
Don’t try to break a line
I’m not gonna change for you, for me, for anyone
Cos I will remain the same
Let me tell you how to live
Keep hold of the fight and don’t forgive
Just say these words
I just wanna live my life
Cause I don’t need to be some fortuneteller
I don’t need to be a crime wave seller
I don’t wanna compromise
Cause I don’t want to end up turning back
I want you to cut me a little slack
Even if it isn’t always fun
What’s done is done
Don’t try to waste your time
I don’t wanna change for you, for me, for anyone
Don’t try to break a line
I’m not gonna change for you, for me, for anyone
Cos I will remain the same
Don’t change to something lame
Cos I will remain the same
I’m not playing your game
Cause I don’t need to split some fortune cookie
I don’t need to be your favourite nookie
I don’t wanna compromise
(No compromise)
Don’t try to waste your time
I don’t wanna change for you, for me, for anyone
Don’t try to break a line
I’m not gonna change for you, for me, for anyone
Go on tell me what you’re thinking
(Don’t try to waste your time)
I’m here to keep you from freaking
(I don’t wanna change for you, for me, for anyone)
Don’t keep compulsively cheating
(Don’t try to break a line)
Save yourself from all your beatings
(I’m not gonna change for you, for me, for anyone)
Cos I will remain the same
Just throw out all your shame
Cos I will remain the same
Know yourself before your fame
Go on tell me what you’re thinking
(Cos I will remain the same)
I’m here to keep you from freaking
(Just throw out all your shame)
Don’t keep compulsively cheating
(Cos I will remain the same)
Save yourself from all your beatings
(Know yourself before your fame)
Let’s settle the score
You’ve come back for more
You got so lonely
Nothing but a phony
You tried too hard
To make your mark
You got it wrong
By leaving it way too long
Cos I will remain the same
Cos I will remain the same
Cos I will remain the same
Cos I will remain the same
Remain the same
Remain the same
Remain the same
Remain the same

Missing
02:57
|

I’m missing you now
Why you went away, I don’t know how
Can you hear me?
I want you with me all day baby
I’m wishing I had you
I want you, to come back to me
Can’t you see?
My hands are bleeding
I thought I had you back one day
But then I found you’d already slipped away
I wanted you to stay
But then you went astray
Everyday
I’m wishing I had you
I want you, to come back to me
Can’t you see?
My hands are bleeding
But you left me here
In a world of tears
I miss your voice
I wish I had a choice
Many weeks have passed
I still wait, on my own
But now you’re gone
Chances are blown
I was wishing I had you
I wanted you, to come back to me
Couldn’t you see?
You left me
When all I ever hoped for was you…
When all I ever hoped for was you…
Gone missing

Breaking Up
04:37
|
|||
This is a time for another day
The silver line, that turned grey
I was content. I had everything in the world
But along came the mess, that made me curl
It’s not your fault, it’s not mine
These things happen all the time
But it’s different today, discuss
It shouldn’t have happened to us
No, not another memory
I want out of this misery
I made the mistake of breaking up.
And since then I’ve only been fucking up.
My head is burning.
A headache with a hard hit.
All messed up, all fussed up, all crossed up.
Why the fucking hell was I all misplaced up?
I was crazy, and now.
It’s all completely shit.
It’s not your fault, it’s not mine
These things happen all the time
But it’s different today, discuss
It shouldn’t have happened to us
No, not another memory
Drifting away from my fantasy
Oh
I’ll take the blame for all that’s happened
I’ll take the shame for all the mess that I’ve caused
I’ll run away to this place where I belong
Oh
You don’t deserve me
You don’t need me
You don’t want me
Just forget me
I’m a memory
I’m a memory
I’m a memory
I’m a memory
YEAH!
It’s not your fault, it’s not mine
These things happen all the time
But it’s different today, discuss
It shouldn’t have happened to us
It’s not your fault, it’s not mine
These things happen all the time
But it’s different today, discuss
It shouldn’t have happened to us
It shouldn’t have happened to us
No, not another memory
I want out of this

I always thought this would be the end of me
I always thought I’d create a trend to be
But nothing ever went right
My future was never so bright
I never had a dream come true
Until the day I found you
You complete me
Believe me
When I’m with you girl
We enter a whole other world
You complete me
Believe me
I wish it was my day
I only want to stay
I’ve never known this would be the rest of me
My friends would’ve have seen the best of me
I made some big mistakes
They stick by for all times sake
I thought my heart to going to stop
Until the day you helped me back up
You complete me
Believe me
When I’m with you girl
We enter a whole other world
You complete me
Believe me
Love, trust
Charm, lust
Hope, pride
Don’t deny
I wish it was my day
I only really want to stay
I don’t know, I don’t wanna go
I won’t tell, but only you will know
I only know that love, love just takes two
It takes two
I don’t know, I don’t wanna go
I won’t tell, but only you will know
I only want to run, run and see you
To see you
I always thought this would be the end of me
I always thought I’d create a trend to be
Wait for me!
You complete me
Believe me
When I’m with you girl
We enter a whole other world
You complete me
Believe me
Love, trust
Charm, lust
Hope, pride
Don’t deny
I wish it was my day
I only really want to stay

FIGHT!!
Our time is up
Rebellion now
Our time is up
A battle to be won now
Our time is up
Rebellion now
Our time is up
What’s done is done
Our time is up
Rebellion now
Our time is up
A battle to be won now
Our time is up
Rebellion now
Our time is up
What’s done is done
This city is falling down
It’s falling to the ground
This city is breaking up
It’s all messed up
Failure in this nation
Creates complication
Who takes the blame
In this abomination
This city is up in flames
Of confusion
This is not the time
To hear me whine
These are the worst days of our lives
This city is falling down
It’s falling to the ground
This city is breaking up
It’s all messed up
Failure in society
Creates anxiety
Who takes the blame
They have priority
This city is up in flames
Of insanity
This is not the time
To hear me whine
These are the worst days of our lives
Our time is up
We have entered rebellion now
Our time is up
This is a battle to be won now
Our time is up
We have entered rebellion now
Our time is up
Cos there’s nothing you can do, what’s done is done
This city is falling down
It’s falling to the ground
This city is breaking up
It’s all messed up
Failure in the hour
Creates a tower
Who takes the blame
We’re struggling for power
This city is up in flames
We’re going down
This is not the time
To hear me whine
These are the worst days of our lives
Our time is up
We have entered rebellion now
Our time is up
This is a battle to be won now
Our time is up
We have entered rebellion now
Our time is up
Cos there’s nothing you can do, what’s done is done
Just take your life and leave it where we are all stunned
All their announcements and all their thrillings
All up for criticism and a physical grilling
All hands up, are you willing?
To stop this prison of their killing
Our time is up
Rebellion now
Our time is up
A battle to be won now
Fucking Louder!
There’s nothing you can do, what’s done is done
There’s nothing you can do, what’s done is done
Our time is up
We have entered rebellion now
Our time is up
This is a battle to be won now
Our time is up
We have entered rebellion
Our time is up
Cos there’s nothing you can do, what’s done is done
Cos there’s nothing you can do, what’s done is done
Just take your life and leave it where we are all stunned.

Liar
10:51
|

What is this creature I see here
Lying on the chair with another beer
I have known you all these years
But you feel like a stranger to me
What should I do now?
I’m paranoid now
You’re going crazy
Get the hell out of my life
Betraying me
And all that surrounds you
When you’re abusing yourself
Trying to get higher
I can’t control you
You’re a liar
My insides have broke
Like a burning fire
I won’t control you
You’re a liar
All your rejections for advice
We can’t help thinking ‘Don’t be nice’
Drinking your cider
When right beside you
There’s your willpower
Escaping from your life
Betraying me
And yourself
When you’re displaying yourself
Trying to get higher
I can’t control you
You’re a liar
My insides revolt
Like a burning fire
I won’t control you
You’re a liar
This suffering has got to stop
Before you drop
You make your living losing your way
Cos you betray
I’m not interested in what you have to say
Nobody cares ‘cause
You’ve no respect
Betraying your heart
Trying to get higher
I can’t control you
You’re a liar
My insides implode
Like a burning fire
I won’t control you
You’re a liar
Lies have been told
Lies that unfold
Lies kept on hold
Lies that are bold
Lies have been told
Lies that unfold
Lies kept on hold
Lies that are bold
I’m not interested in what you have to say
Nobody cares ‘cause
You’ve no respect
