I've read that it's official. That our love has solidified in ritual. And all our sweet nothings melted into vitriol. We eat it up, we chew it round, we spit it out.
Did you vote for the right, did you vote for the left?. You could vote for the blind, did you vote for the deaf?. Did you vote for one, did you vote for zero?.
One man's tears stain the pillow. Where he used to lay his head. She's left him for another man. So how come they're both sleeping in his bed?. . He can hardly sleep for misery.
With half an eye on history. And half an ounce of hope. Sold his soul in the vestry. Money for old rope. Been this way a million times. But now his time is nigh.
I went from door to door. From town to town. To find somewhere. To lay myself down. Somewhere to call my own. . I am out on the street. The lengths I've gone.
We can wear the social fabric. Put on the make-up of society. We can champion the underdog. Be proud that we're not another cog. In the Blue Machinery.
Inside your machine I hear a whirring. Cogs and flywheels getting into gear. Was this was time to tell you're secrets. Softly so that only I could hear.
Darling, when you sit up and stare all night. I get the feeling that something ain't right. My heart starts to beat on my drum-tight skin. I just wanna kick it in.
There was a time. When I thought I knew. Everything about. This great big world. Until I met you. Into my life. Like a brand new sun. Now I find my home.
Well, the first time that I saw ya. You looked down and out. And I had my doubts about you. But baby, since I've come to know ya. I ain't got no doubts, what it's about.
You quit the band and got a job. Decided to take a wife then you stood still. And I went on and almost lost my life. . No, I don't wanna be in your shoes.
The day begins with CNN. And it looks like World War III. The forecast calls for freezing rain. It doesn't matter much to me. The Wheel of Fortune never turns, it's all insanity.
My cousin is in Columbia hunting down the rebels. Over fields of bright and shiny coca. Over the jungle floor one-handing a 32. He says, Bring her down low now, I'm ready to go.
It's alright, you tried. Let's just pretend the cameras lied. And you were always there. And I was never scared. And I haven't missed you all my life.
If you were Audrey Hepburn. And gracefully you set about your scene. And the moral of the story. Successfully adapted to the screen. . Would it make any difference.
What if I could tell the world I see you?. What if I could make them understand?. And if I could show those fools they need you. It wouldn't change the fact that you need them.
A man can't dance without the chance. . Before you stands the man you see. But that man don't mean shit to me. Nothing more than a parody. Just peeking over a steep wall to see.
Bury me down in my grave. Leave nothing but my name. Can't bare life without you. . You fan the flames the lines of love and hate. Burn in the fire that your walking through.
Whoa, hearts are gonna roll. Whoa, hearts are gonna roll. . The place is smokin', the music so loud. Our hungry eyes connect through the crowd. I watch you dancin', goin' out of my mind.
Workin' man, workin' 9 to 5. Can't call in sick or his family won't survive. And though they pray there's bills still to pay. Workin' man, there's got to be another way.
