Album: My War [1984]
| My War | |
|
My war you're one of them You say that you're my friend But you're one of them You don't want to see me live You don't want me to give cause you're one of them My war you're one of them You say that you're my friend But you're one of them I might not know what a friend is All I know is what you're not cause you're one of them My war you're one of them You say that you're my friend But you're one of them I have a prediction, it lives in my brain It's with me every day, it drives me insane I feel it in my heart, that if I has a gun I feel it in my heart, I'd wanna kill some I feel it in my heart, the end will come Come on! My war you're one of them You say that you're my friend But you're one of them Tell me that I'm wrong Try to sing me your ego song You're one of them My war you're one of them You say that you're my friend But you're one of them My War.

| Can't Decide | |
|
Sun's coming up and I can't decide
To spill my emotions or keep them inside
Go for a drive, go to the store
I'm looking for something that can't be bought there
I always wear a smile
Because anything but a smile would make me have to explain
And they wouldn't understand anyway
I conceal my feelings so I won't have to explain
What I can't explain anyway
I can't decide
I can't decide
I can't decide anything
I can't decide
I can't decide
I can't decide anything
Every time I open my mouth
I always wish I had kept it shut
I gotta spill my guts - but I don't dare
I take a look around, I know that no one else cares
Sun's coming up and I can't decide
To spill my emotions or keep them inside
Go for a drive, go to the store
I'm looking for something that can't be bought there
I always wear a smile
Because anything but a smile would make me have to explain
And they wouldn't understand anyway
I conceal my feelings so I won't have to explain
What I can't explain anyway
I can't decide
I can't decide
I can't decide anything

| Beat My Head Against the Wall | |
|
Beat my head against the wall one more time
Will this solve my problems at all?
I don't care about parties or a good time
I won't stand in your line
Swimming in the main stream is such a lame dream
No method to the madness
Beat my head against the wall
Tension builds up so quickly
My judgement becomes affected
And without my even knowing it
I have started to act like a dick
Swimming in the main stream is such a lame dream
No method to the madness
Beat my head against the wall
Running around like a chicken without a head
Get my kicks bouncing around in bed
But the next day I still feel the same
I'll find a way yo blast again
Swimming in the main stream is such a lame dream
No method to the madness
Beat my head against the wall

| I Love You | |
|
|
I put my fist through the door I hate myself for you I love you Suspicion rules my very soul My knife is sharp, my thougths are cold I love you I love you Because, I love you I can't talk, I can't think My feelings burn inside of me I love you I practice my knife, I feel the power I look in the mirror and I want to destroy her I love you I gave you my life, but what did I get? Now its time to take it back I love you I love you Because, I love you I hear a car, your footsteps outside Knife in hand, love in heart Sweating - I wait I love you You screamed, you bled, you laid on the floor But now I know you'll leave me no more I love you I love you Because, I love you.

| Forever Time | |
|
|
Time Time Time Forever time It's time to walk by me One last time, it's time At first Relax Get set Get your message from time Time, time, time, time Time Time Time Forever time It's time to look into my eyes One last time, it's time I feel I'm some kind of death machine With skin and muscles and a heart That pumps my blood Time, time, time, time Time Time Time Forever time It's time to kiss me goodbye One last time, it's time This is the first time This is the last time It's my only time But it's only time Time Time Time.

| The Swinging Man | |
|
Swinging man
I'm hanging around
Hangin' 'round
I'm the swinging man and my feet
Never touch the ground
Swinging man
Swinging man
I swing back and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth
I was looking for a little warmth
But I didn't find nuthin'
So now I'm hanging around
Swinging man
Feeling no pain
No pain
No pain
No pain
All the girls know my name
I go by; swinging man
Swinging man
I tell you what - you get yourself together
And you go downtown, you come on home
And I'll still be hangin' around
Because I'm the swinging man
And my feet never touch the ground
Now if you love me, you'll cut me down
But if not, I'll still be hangin' around
Cuz I'm the swinging man and my feet
Never touch the ground
I'm the swinging man.

| Nothing Left Inside | |
|
|
Nothing Nothing Nothing left inside Love Love Nothing left inside Pain in my heart Pain hurts my heart Nothing left inside Lies Your lies Nothing left inside I built it up I broke it down Nothing left inside Leach Drained me dry Nothing left inside Lonely, lonely, lonely Lonely, lonely boy Nothing left inside I want to see you I want to see you I want you to see my eyes Nothing left inside Nothing left inside.

| Three Nights | |
|
|
Tonight I sit right down in my room Going over it and over it again and again Something's got a hold of me And I just can't seem to shake myself loose Let me go Let me go I'm surely breaking up Tonight I'm gonna make that body pay Tonight I'm gonna make that body scream Tonight I'm gonna drop to my knees I want to make you fell like you make me feel I want to make you fell like you make me feel I want to make you fell like you make me feel There's a lover in my heart Killer in my hands Whiskey on my breath Someone handed me a ladder And for the longest time I've been climbin' - to the bottom of it Someone reached out and gave me their hand And for the longest time I've been trying to dislodge my teeth from it My life is a piece of a shit that got caught in my show And I've been grinding that stink into the dirt For a long time now, now, now I want to make you fell like you make me feel I want to make you fell like you make me feel I want to make you fell like you make me feel I think you stuck my friends with knives Dragged him out so he could die One in his heart and three in each side - knives Go ahead Go ahead Go ahead and stick me Stick me.

| Scream | |
|
|
Supposed to act my age Supposed to act mature I've got better things to do Than listen to you I'm supposed to keep it together I'm supposed to keep my cool I might be a big baby But I'll scream in your ear Till I find out Just what it is I am doing here.
