Broken 5/11/2002
"Broken" by bad religion


She said Thanks but I’m broken

I guess you must have misspoken

what a laugh, I’ve never been chosen by anyone

She was barely a teen hangin’ out in-between, just a part of the scene

With mercurial smile and incurable style, she was only a dream

How’s that, he didn’t know a thing about making love

to the kind of girl you read about

He said I’m bound to be broken

My Daddy bet that I’d amount to nothing

he won’t let anybody show him anything

He was a troubled child, had been down for a while, always kept to himself

Though she couldn’t defend, he only wanted a friend, now he’s made something else

It’s so sad, no one saw it coming, the paper said that he hit the ground running

Oh yeah, I know I’m not broken

A little cracked but still I’m not broken

I wanna laugh but I think that I’m choking on reality

When the world is turning for you don’t turn on me

Who are you here to repair? well, I don’t know what you mean

You could never resist glorifying despair

Now it’s coming to you and I don’t really care

While I’m not the kind to insist, you couldn’t have missed, we must co-exist

so please listen to me, there is no such thing as human debris

Oh yeah, I know I'm not broken

A little cracked but that amounts to nothing

I wanna laugh, I’m not choking

I'm unbroken (oh yeah I said I'm not broken)

I said I'm unbroken (a little cracked, it's just a token)

I'm really not broken (what a guess, I'm unbroken) (?)




Anxiety 5/14/2002
Anxiety(here's some more bad religion).. theyre views may not fully parallel mine but alot of what they say makes me think..... enjoy

a love song to the self,

a story recapped every day,

a world of bogus feelings

and a world of slow decay.

a world of laughter hidden by this world

of fear and torment

a game of strange compulsion,

our visceral convulsion

anxiety for love of life,

anxiety for pain,

anxiety, a feeling that you know

you can't contain

(a fear that you have nothing more to gain)

anxiety destroys us

but it drives the common man,

foundation of society anxiety

suppress it if you can

the caste of coffee-achievers didn't perform like they planned,

the morning rush hour traffic is our play of false plan,

so run around your frantic track and lay you down to sleep,

tomorrow's the redemption

we strive for that exception

what are we angry for?

we all need a common cure,

that common goal for which you strive

to have more than the other guy

the quest for the truth,

the quest for the gold we en up all the same,

the common lie,

the righteous cry we end up all the same,

the angry crowd,

those lost and found everybody's all the same,

the poet's pen,

these words I lend,

we all bend to anxiety.



There wil be a way 5/19/2002
more bad religion lyrics.. this songs lyrics are really positive.. they take the edge off of any hopelessness

There will be a way (bad religion)




Shut your eyes, see the future's distant shore

March ahead more enlightened than before

And there's sure to be bumps and distractions but I know we'll get through

There will be me, there will be you

There will be a way


Unresolved repercussions from your life

Fortified with the vitriol of strife

And you can be gridlocked by predictions, but you're wise grab the prize

Then revise, realize

There will be a way


(Solo break)

Hey.... Ho

And I don't know where we are going but we're here on this ride

And we'll stand side by side all along the way


Follow me to the future's distant shore

Vagary needn't haunt us anymore

And now it's time to set the agenda, learn the past, make it last

Share the wealth, hold your fire, conserve life, make it right

Kill the hate, negotiate

There will be a way

There will be a way

There will be a way




New Skin 6/5/2002
By Incubus


At first I see an open wound

infected and disastrous

It breathes chaotic catastrophe

it cries to be renewed

Its tears are the color of anger,

they dry to form a scab

To the touch, its stiff and resilient,

underneath, the new skin breathes

As outwardly cliche as it may seem,

yes, something under the surface says,

"C'est la vie"

It is a circle, there is a plan

dead skin will atrophy itself to start again

Look closely at the open wound

see past what covers the surface

Underneath chaotic catastrophe,

creation takes stage.

Its all been saved

with exception for the right parts

When will we be new skin?

Its all been seen with exception for what could be

When will we be new skin?

Fallacious cognitions

spewed from televisions

do mold our decisions.

So stop and take a look,

and you'll see what I see now




I nomally hate Eminem. and everything he stands for. for some reason this song sticks out. called "Sing for the moment"








Verse #1

These ideas are nightmares for white parents

Whose worst fear is a child with dyed hair and who likes earrings

Like whatever they say has no bearing

Its so scary in a house that allows no swearing

To see him walking around with his headphones blaring

Alone in his own zone, and he dont care

He's a problem child, what bothers him all comes out

When he talks about his ****in' dad walkin out

Cos he hates him so bad that he blocks him out

But if he ever saw him again, he'd prolly knock him out

His thoughts are whacked, he's mad so he's talkin' back

Talkin black, brainwashed from rock and rap

He sags his pants, 2 rags and a stocking cap

His step-father hit him so he socked him back

And broke his nose, this house is a broken home

There's no control, he just lets his emotions go

Come on...


Chorus:

Sing with me, sing for the year

Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear

Sing with me,just for today

Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away


Verse #2

Entertainment is danger, intertwine it with gansters

In the land of the killers, a sinner's mind is a sanctum

Only you're unholy, only have one homey

Only this gun, lonely, cuz don't anyone know me

But everybody just feels like they can relate

I guess words are a mother****er, they can be great

Or they can be great, or even worse, they can teach hate

Its like kids hang on every single statement we make

Like they worship us, plus all the stores ship us platinum

Now how the **** did this metamorphasis happen?

From standin' on corners and porches just rappin'

To havin' a fortune, no more kissin' ass

But then these critics crucify you, journalists try to burn you

Fans turn on you, attorney's all gonna turn it to

To get their hands on every dime you have

They want you to lose your mind every time you mad

So they can try to make you out to look like a loose canon

You need to spew, dont hesitate to produce air-guns

Thats why these prosecutors wanna convict me

Swiftly just to get me offa these streets quickly

But all their kids been listen'n to me religiously

So i'm signing cds while police fingerprint me

They're for the judges daughter, but his grudge is against me

If i'm such a ****in' menace, this shit doesnt make sense, Pete

It's all political, if my music is literal and i'm a criminal,

How the **** can i raise a little girl?

I couldn't. i wouldn't be fit to

You're full of shit too, Guerrera, that was a fist that hit you!


Chorus



Verse #3

They say music can alter moods and talk to you

But can it load a gun for you and cock it too?

Well if it can, then the next time you assault a dude

Just tell the judge it was my fault, and i'll get sued

See what these kids do, is hear about us toting pistols

And they want to get one, cos they think the shit's cool

Not knowin' we're really just protectin' ourselves

We're entertainers, of course this shit's affecting our sales

You ignoramus. but music is reflection of self

We just explain it, and then we get our cheques in the mail

It's ****ed up ain't it, how we can come from practically nothin'

To bein' able to have any ****in' thing that we wanted

It's why we sing for these kids that don't have a thing

Except for a dream and a ****ing rap magazine

Who post pinup pictures on their walls all day long

Idolise their favourite rappers and know all they songs

Or for anyone who's ever been through shit in they lives

So they sit and they cry at night, wishing they die

Till they throw on a rap record, and they sit and they vibe

We're nothing to you, but we're the ****in' shit in their eyes

That's why we sieze the moment, and try to freeze it and own it

Squeeze it and hold it, 'cos we consider these minutes golden

And maybe they'll admit it when we're gone

Just let our spirits live on, through out lyrics that you hear in our songs

And we can

Allright well I took the time to type this so, please read it. :P


Hey my friend it seems your eyes are troubled Care to share your time with me Would you say you’re feeling low and so A good idea would be to get it off your mind See, you and me Have a better time than most can dream Have it better than the best So can pull on through Whatever tears at us Whatever holds us down And if nothing can be done We’ll make the best of what’s around Turns out not where but who you’re with That really matters And hurts not much when you’re around And if you hold on tight To what you think is your thing You may find you’re missing all the rest Well she run up into the light surprised Her arms are open Her mind’s eye is Seeing things from a Better side than most can dream On a clearer road I feel Oh you could say she’s safe Whatever tears at her Whatever holds her down And if nothing can be done She’ll make the best of what’s around Turns out not where but what you think That really matters We’ll make the best of what’s around

Sorry about that, I don't know what I was thinking when I posted those lyrics here. I thought you wanted everyone to post some lyrics here. But I can see that these don't mix to well with those.

10-10-2002, 05:57 AM
dang took me a while to find em!

Oh... what is the malt and liquor?
What gets you drunken quicker?
What comes in bottles or in cans? (Beer)
Can't get enough of it (Beer)
How we really love it (Beer)
Makes me think I'm a man (Beer)
I could kiss and hug it (Beer)
But I'd rather chug it (Beer)
Got my belly up to here (Beer)
I could not refuse a (Beer)
I could really use a beer, beer, beer

Beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer

I can't remember how much I have had
I drank a twelve-pack with my dad (BURP!)
That's my son the drunken manly stud
I'm proud to be his bud
Here have some pretzels
No, I'll call it quits
Those things give me the shlits (ha ha ha)

Drink with your family
Drink it with your friends
Drink till your fat, stomach distends
Beer is liquid bread, it's good for you
We like to drink till we spew! Ew!
Who cares if we get fat?
I'll drink to that

As we sing once more...

What is the malt and liquor?
What gets you drunken quicker?
What comes in bottles or in cans? (Beer)
Can't get enough of it (Beer)
How we really love it (Beer)
Makes me think I'm a man (Beer)
I could kiss and hug it (Beer)
But I'd rather chug it (Beer)
Got my belly up to here (Beer)
Golly, I adore it! (Beer)
Come on dammit, pour it!
Do it for me, brew it for me
Feed it to me, speed it to me (Beer)
The most wonderful drink in the world
HOORAY!!! (BURP!)

i know a man
who doesnt have many friends
i know a place he lives
where trouble never ends
i know its hard for him
to read 'tween the lines
and his days are getting so much shorter
he simply turns away
instead of bearing down
his ship is crumbling
his crew is one of clowns
he doesnt care
as long as he can wear the crown
i know this man all too well
its my poor friend me
a portrayal of the great dichotomy
(a reminder of a tragic history)
its my poor friend me
and im running out of steam
i know there are people
who are cynical and vane
they point their finger
'cuz they can't accept the blame
they live their lives
under a blanket of shame and their progeny
crawl from underneath it
lately i've come
to see the solution
and it begins with me
but i'm so fallibly human
i've picked the lot

1000 Memories

you were the one,
you were my everything
never apart,
no one in-between
then one day,
when you went your own way
you felt justified,
and I was mortified
but today...
you are just a picture
and a thousand memories
is all I take with me
cuz your smile
is just too much to see
you're just a thousand memories
fantasies, broken dreams
reveries, sordid histories
following my heart,
laden with reaction,
without calibration or design
committed to a trial,
a life of understanding
can't somebody show a sign to you?
for me, to see if you only knew
that you were the one...
cuz a picture is worth
one thousand memories

Met a girl, thought she was grand
fell in love, found out first hand
went well for a week or two
then it all came unglued

in a trap trip I can’t grip
never thought I'd be the one who’d slip
then I started to realize
I was living one big lie

(Chorus)

she f****** hates me
trust
she f****** hates me
la la la love
I tried too hard
and she tore my feelings like I had none
and ripped them away

she was queen for about an hour
after that s*** got sour
she took all I ever had
no sign of guilt
no feeling of bad, no

in a trap trip I can’t grip
never thought I'd be the one who’d slip
then I started to realize
I was living one big lie

Chorus

that’s my story, as you see
learned my lesson and so did she
now it’s over, and I'm glad
‘cause I'm a fool for all I've said

Chorus

la la la la la la la la la love
trust
la la la la la la la la la love
trust
she f****** hates me

10-10-2002, 11:20 PM
ahhh gotta love that song. :P
