Don't change yourself to suit everybody else. Don't change yourself to suit everybody else. You lay staring at your ceiling through all of the night. And out to haunt you come the ghosts of your life.
There's a high wind blowin' and the stars are shining bright. Oh, what a night, this is gonna be. I think I'll let the world sleep without me. I got one eye open, one eye closed.
When you cast your eyes upon the skylines. Of this once proud nation. Can you sense the fear and the hatred. Growing in the hearts of its population. And our youth, oh youth, are being seduced.
Well, you didn't wake up this morning 'cause you didn't go to bed. You were watching the whites of your eyes turn red. The calendar on your wall is ticking the days off.
I've been thinking about the things you've said. Every word you wrote, every word I've read, I--. I've been thinking about a lot of stuff,. Well, I guess, it's taking me long enough but.
The walls I build today. are the walls. I will always depend on. to keep you away. the same walls. will make you stay. alright, okay. . the walls I build for you.
Watching as the places burn. With eyes wide open. The pathetic battle of multiracial,. With infantile behavior. You are nothing but a scum. You have the power.
I've got so much on my mind.. This is such a waste of time.. Why you being so hard on me?. I've done everything to a "T". Now you're just picking on me;..
This country looks like one big car park. The winters are so very long. And everybody wonders where the light has gone. . And shallow is moving state lines.
I threw out the photographs. Like yesterdays flowers. I tried to erase the past. But it won't go away. . I painted the second room. and cleared out the basement.
When I hear the men outside my window kicking down my door. All the megaphones are screaming letters of the law. Would you walk in through the gate and visit me?.
With you I find that love is forever. The more I give to thee, the more I have to give. So take it, take it. I like to do things for myself. I never waste and never want.
We made a plan that was subject to change. So whatever way it works out we both get the blame. In the arms of this low. . And you took the wind right out of my sails.
Cut the bonds with the moon. And let the dogs gather. Burn the gauze in the spoon. And suck the poison up. And bleed. . Shut the door to the moon. And let the birds gather.
Its been running through my mind,. The minute you stepped in,. And the hype that you create.. . So take me with you,. I want to see color and life,. In the corner of this bar,.
Whatever happened, what happened to the pit?. Checker boarded rude boys tri colored Mohawk chicks. Now they're all pussies and they're afraid to dance.
There's no way I can talk myself out of this one tonite. and there's no way that I can ever win with you.. I've sung the same song.. I've sang it for way too long..
