From the Don't Turn Away LP
You've Done Nothing ------------------- You don't know what you want to be You don't know what you want to do Never going to amount to much of anything So what's the difference if you win or lose? Well that's something, Well isn't that something You've done nothing wrong And it's never your fault You've done nothing Don't care where your friends have gone Because you never really needed them anyway Never going to be exactly who you are Because you try too hard to be just like them Well that's something Well isn't that something You've done nothing wrong And it's never your fault You've done nothing You've got brains in your head Feet in your shoes You can steer yourself Any way you choose You're on your own And you know what you know And it's up to you to decide where you'll go TED GEISEL I'm Not Afraid -------------- I didn't want a second chance Now that's exactly where I am Back where I didn't want to be Back where I knew you'd find me out I've never been afraid of you I never will admit the truth I know there's something I can do I'm not afraid to face myself But is it me or something else? Makes me exactly what I am That's something I will always doubt Disconnected ------------ You don't know a thing about me Is there something that you should know? I can tell you what you want to hear Let your inhibitions just go No you don't know what you will give up You don't know what you want It may take you years to find out You don't know what you need It's something that may never come to you Trust is something that comes easy When you've never been a victim Lies and promises and words are said It's your decision to accept them No Authority ------------ There is someone who knows everything there is to know There is someone who is too afraid to let it show We live by consequences We never seem to get it right Conflict of circumstances And sometimes we may lose a fight Wouldn't you know Something is going wrong Wouldn't you know Something is really wrong No you have no authority NO I am who I want to be There are those of us who just sit back and never try There are those of us who just sit back and wonder why We live by consequences We never seem to get it right Conflict of circumstances And sometimes we may lose a fight I Want ------ Everybody wants the truth But everybody lies Everybody wants some proof But everybody's blind So open up your eyes I really don't know much of anything at all But I'll admit we're all the same You ask forgiveness and you make the same mistakes And I'll admit we're all the same I want to know Do these words mean anything? How can this life mean something more than what it seems? Everybody wants equality But we're all prejudice We're all hypocrites Everybody wants the world But we have nothing You've Got a Problem -------------------- So what's the problem now this time? I thought you'd learn by now that nothing ever works our right You want to take away the edge You tell me it's the only thing that helps you forget You've made your promises That's not enough this time There's only so much you can squander from a feeble mind You've got a problem with your life You've got a problem with your mind Don't try to tell me that you think it's going to work out fine So go ahead and try to hide The world around you watches on as you destroy your life Do what your problems says There's not a lot of time There's only so much you can squander from a feeble mind You've got a problem with your life Everything is Everything ------------------------ We've got a lot of questions We've got a lot to learn So tired of solving problems Too many bridges burned We see it all so clearly and still we close our eyes Why should we understand it? What good is knowing why? I know that life can be filled with these changes I know there's times when it feels like I'm failing I know something in my life will change again Now I've got a lot of questions I've got a lot to learn I'm tired of solving problems Too many bridges burned I can't change what's in the past I want to move ahead I want to understand it Give me the reason why I'm tired of running these circles in my life I've seen the future it changes before my eyes And I know that there is something that's going to change in my life I know something in my life will change again I'm Trying ---------- Four year-old at play Shot and killed today Never even had a chance Seventeen and high Threw away his life Has a gun to feel like he's a man Can't have it any other way Laying in the street Asking for a drink Doesn't have a place to live Pregnant at thirteen Still can hear the screams Something that she never will forget Can't have it any other way I'm trying to open my mind So you can keep your faith And I'll just walk away There's no reason for me to stay I'm trying to open my mind I'm trying to make up my mind Pastel ------ Another falls in place You wonder in you're only human It's blood, dust, and paste We're held together by a single thread Must be a reason for us to justify it But no one will defy it What is it with this place? Or is it that I'm missing something? You want to see my face When I can't even see it for myself I don't want a game that I don't know how to play Just go away And I don't want to know how to play Can't I make it just go away? Don't you understand what these problems will demand? Make it just go away I don't want a game that I don't know how to play Just go away Nothing New ----------- There is nothing new Put in front of you Nothing you don't understand Don't try to rationalize No one hears your lies Only you can comprehend You don't want to see You don't want to hear You don't want to feel at all Tell me that you've tried Mind is open wide But you're not listening at all Please don't question me I don't have the time If there's a problem than it's easier to set aside There is nothing that will make you wnat to change your mind You can't take it You can't make it You can't make it so why try? Walk Away --------- Don't want to hear what you said Don't want to kick in your head Don't want to live my life that way Don't want to give in but I don't want to be victimized Don't want to live my life that way Walk away Try to see things in a different way Don't want to tell you your place Don't want to get in your face Don't want to live my life that way Don't want to know what you think Don't want to know anything Don't want to live my life that way Walk away Try to see tings in a different way Do You Care? ------------ Do you want to make a difference? Do you wonder what would happen if you don't? Do you need just a little push? Do you try to change? Do you think about the other guy? Do you want just one good reason why you should? Do you only think about yourself? Do you want to be left alone? You're running out of time And I don't see a change in you And I don't think you're gonna make it Do you understand the way it works? Do you want to take as much as you can get? Do you need a little push? Do you try to change? We're running out of time and there aren't many changes made And I don't think we're going to make it 1,000 X ------- I've tried to ask the question Must be a million answers that just aren't there You try to find yourself I'll try to live my life I just don't care Take a look at your life Tell me can you say you've done no wrong? Ask yourself the question Do you realize where you belong? I've been down I've been out I've been there I've been down this road a thousand times Nothing ever looks the same It seems there's something more I might never see
