Pulverized Cast aside But I survived Now fly the flag Criticized Opened wide Left to die Now fly the flag Brutalized Cut down to size But i'll survive Now fly the flag Deified Mystified Crucified Now fly the flag Justified Penalized But I survived Now fly the flag Learned to fight Two black eyes But i'll survive Now fly the flag All the things I thought i'd never be Now it looks like they're all happening to me Battlewise Streetwise Lies and lies Now fly the flag Lonely eyes On my own tonight But i'll survive Now fly the flag Hypnotize Petrified But i'll survive Now fly the flag Glorified Victimized But i'll survive Now fly the flag All these things I thought i'd never be And it looks like they're all happening to me This one's for every lonely heart When they've got you beat before you start When it seems you're all alone You've got nowhere to go Beaten down again Don't let the bastards get you down Get up tonight Stand up tonight Just don't let them keep you down And fly Just fly Now fly the flag
There was a day When we made promises And there was a day When we kept them We were like one No one could stop us We ruled the world From the throne you made Promises -- we were young and free Promises -- how it ought to be Promises -- but somewhere it changed Promises -- nothing remains the same Now when we were tight You made such promises The world was alright And we believed them But now it's through And your stock is down Put out the fuse The sparks are on the ground Promises -- we were young and free Promises -- how it ought to be Promises -- but somewhere it changed Promises -- nothing remains the same Hurrah for yesterday Long live yesterday Drink a toast To yesterday We got the most Out of yesterday We were like one We were like one Promises -- we were young and free Promises -- how it ought to be Promises -- but somewhere it changed Promises -- nothing remains the same Hurrah for yesterday Long live yesterday Drink a toast To yesterday We got the most Out of yesterday

Puff Daddy sucks, that's for sure Almost as bad as Tupac Shakur Nothin' No, there's nothin' There's nothin' good There's nothin' good From Jewel to Mariah Carey It's all so horrible, all so scary Everything on the dial sounds so lame Everything just sounds the same!

Time to breakout Now it's time to go Try to breakout or you'll never know So have a drink or 3 and sing with me Wild rover Roam 'til you're free In the days of 1916, back before the dawn of time When I was just a gleam to my grandpa before Well he found a little lassie To whom, he took a fancy And they had my mum and then they had some more And he told me with a grin As he took a sip of gin Someday son you'll breathe free celtic air And it may not be today But look now that's o.k Cause someday son the soldiers will All march away Try to breakout now It's time to go Try to breakout or you'll never know So have a drink or 3 And sing with me Scotland, ireland and wales must be free Try to breakout Or you'll never know Try to breakout Or you'll never really know Time to breakout Or you'll never really know Time to breakout Or you'll never really Never really know Now every boy around the world Dreams he could save the day Be the hero, get the girland walk away Now grandpa isn't here today And the soldiers are still there But I love an irish girl who took my name And we'll raise our kids to know The tales of scotland's woes And hope that someday they will Breathe free air And it may not be today But look now that's o.k Cause someday son the soldiers will All march away

Today's a day to get away Tune out the noise from yesterday Floating far away and free Nothing's going to get me Now you're thinking You're gonna get away From this grey and weary place Grab a hold of some steel and concrete Grab anything that makes you strong Do you feel a fire? Is it in your eyes? There's a lava lamp inside my mind That breaks the clouds in a burning sky You can't escape reality In a pouring rain Starting at your feet Now you're thinking There's no escape From this grey and weary place Grab a hold of some steel and concrete Grab anything that makes you strong Do you feel a fire? Is it in your eyes? Grab a hold of some steel and concrete Grab anything that makes you strong Do you feel a fire? Is it in your eyes? This is your time Unity -- such an easy word Nut you and me, well it seems absurd Take a chance on reality It's a bitter pill But it's ofter free Now you're thinking There's no escape From this grey and weary place Grab a hold of some steel and concrete Grab anything that makes you strong Do you feel a fire? Is it in your eyes? Grab a hold of some steel and concrete Grab anything that makes you strong Do you feel a fire? Is it in your eyes? This is your time
The revolution will be compromised If we don't move now 1,000 mental road signs Go blurring by Telling us that this is the time This is the time The revolution will be compromised If we don't move now See the kids out on the street So much wasted energy If they had a leader What an army they would be But that's not reality There is no reason without reason Complacency to be feared Why do we get out of bed? Light a fire in your head The revolution has been compromised
Gonna head on out of town On a greyhound bus tonight You can say that it's a retreat but i'm not Fighting Broken tatooed heart Like words and promises And i've seen just too many wrongs for righting Bitterfree -- the road that lies ahead Two blue eyes, focused rage Dear god i'm seeing red I'm free Free of you I'm free Free to choose You can say it's alright Life's just a roll of dice You can say that it's just a game but i'm not playing And friends I once believed Seem so distant now to me And I don't even know which way i'm facing Bitterfree, the road that lies ahead Two blue eyes, focused rage Dear god i'm seeing red There's been up that we've been through But i've had too much bitter fruit I'm free Free of you I'm free Free to choose Color me a shade of blue Can you see me Pull away from you? Now I haven't got a hope There's no place left to turn Wondering if that bridge is far behind me
You're such a sweet girl I'm so sorry when I lose my cool Seems like sometimes I most appreciate that When i'm far way from you And I know that's not how It's supposed to be, o.k And it's usually not, but Somehow it is today You're such a cool girl And I really think that every day And just to prove it's true I'm dreaming of you When you're a thousand miles away And I know that's just how It's supposed to be, o.k But I forget when you're Close to me I'm sorry sometimes Don't build up walls of Toughness to protect your Self from me I'm still the boy you love And you're the girl for me Those walls are going to fall Those walls are going to fall I'm sorry sometimes
Sitting in my room Just wasting time I've spent my whole life asking Questions And when the answers come They hurt or wound I don't know what it takes to bind it I don't know what it takes to find it Is there such a thing as piece of mind? On the telephone I hear your voice And I wonder what's behind it And in your eyes The blankest beauty I wonder what there is inside it I don't know what it takes To find you I'll give pieces of my mind I'm always mixed up every time Pathetic ramblings, this I know Welcome to this bitter show This poetry is not romantic And anger is not a tonic Painting on a smile So you'll never know Just how deeply your words Hurt me And boys don't cry This I know I've been socialized to Hide it
Somewhere in a cold jail cell Is a man doing time In a living hell For perjury But it's o.k. for billy Somewhere is a young girl Her life is forever swirled She's out of luck But it's o.k. for billy And so many pawns will fall For every king's stone wall I believe that we should strive For more Obstruction, deception And still they blindly support him They've lowered the standards That they could've raised It's such a shame This is the new breed And i'm standing on my own I remember when There were democrats Who stood tall and Were cool cats Now all I see are More suits and ties Double standards Equivocate But even kings can get checkmate Just be honest and show this King the door Some say that it's just lies, but I think it's just trust And I believe that we should Strive for more If he were in the g.o.p., You know that instantly They'd be lining up to fire But now they lowered the standards That they could've raised It's such a shame But this is the new breed For every little kid today Who wonders why this one's o.k Well, kid these are double standards And this is the new breed And i'm standing on my own And maybe it's naive For someone to believe That there's a better way To run the show today But somewhere is a man or woman Political in stripe Whoe doesn't want to fall in line Who'll say what's wrong is right And it's time to put it right The king should lose his crown This time Who has the guts to say This thing is not o.k For the sake of kings to come But now they lowered the standards That they could've raised It's such a shame This is the new breed For every little kid today Who wonders why this one's o.k Well, kid these are double standards And this is the new breed This is the new breed Well i'm standing on my own
The man on the street -- He doesn't know my name But I am sure we're not at all the same Man on the street -- ou know he looks like me But he'll never know all the things i've seen See him and there's no enmity -- Sometimes there's jealousy But would you be him? I don't think so No a hair is out of place -- he sets the pace And he's a step ahead of me The man on the street -- He doesn't look at me And if he did I wonder what he sees He might be kind; he might be alright Are his concerns so far away from mine? See him and there's no problem -- Thought he always looks so cold But would you be him? I don't think so Not a stich out of place -- he sets the pace And he's just a step ahead He keeps a step ahead of me He lives as expected Secure and protected The world won't affect him And so I reject him now I feel so different, though I might no look so You can wear the costume, but do you march in time? There's so many targets in the world to see Feel the dirt of rebellion beneath your feet!Top
