HAD ABOUT ENOUGH

“I can fight. Give me someone who is weaker. 
“I can steal. Give me something, give me anything, 
“So I can keep it real.” 

Can't feel it anymore, 
Can't even get it out the door, to help you deal. 
I think I'm gonna wreck the hit. 
It's time.

I've had about enough manipulation. 
I've had about enough of limitation. 
I've had about enough of your solutions. 
I've had about enough (of your face) 
I've had about enough.


“I can pray. Give me someone, give me anyone, 
“To help me light the way.”

Can't see it anymore,
This time.

I've had about enough of shame and fortune. 
I've had about enough of self-absorption. 
I've had about enough of your pollution. 
I've had about enough (of your word) 
I've had about enough (of the herd) 
I've had about enough.


“I can heal. Give me someone who is broken.” 

I've had about enough of hate and violence. 
I've had about enough of lies and silence. 
I've had about enough dead institutions. 
I've had about enough (of this score) 
I've had about enough (to ignore) 
  
I've had about enough manipulation. 
I've had about enough dehumanization. 
I've had about enough of your pollution. 
I've had about enough (of your face) 
I've had about enough (of this place) 
I've had about enough. 
  
"So help me light the way."



DON'T WANNA GO HOME 

Every time I wished I was somebody else instead of watching you do what you do, 
I know I could turn it all off and I'd make a break to face the outside world.

Every time I fry my mind on empty sights and sounds and vacant blank attitudes, 
I know I could try to turn it off and break the chain that's hammering into my brain.

I was under control, 
I was fine all along, 
Why's it all going wrong?

I keep reminding myself, 
I don't wanna go home, 
I don't wanna go home ‘cause then I'll waste my life here. 


Every time I feed my face I hit the road to find the styrofoam statue of you. 
I know I could try to fake it and be satisfied with firing up on my own.

I was under control, 
I was fine all along, 
Why's it all going wrong?

I keep reminding myself, 
I don't wanna go home, 
I don't wanna go home ‘cause then I'll waste my life in bed.

I keep reminding myself, 
I don't wanna go home, 
I don't wanna go home ‘cause then I'll waste my life here.


What's mine is mine, 
What's yours is ours, 
I lost my faith, 
I'll take yours.

Every time I wished I was somebody else instead of watching you do what you do, 
I know I could turn it all off and I'd break to face the world.

I keep reminding myself, 
I don't wanna go home, 
I don't wanna go home ‘cause then I'll waste my life in bed. 

  
I keep reminding myself, 
I don't wanna go home, 
I don't wanna go home ‘cause then I'll waste my life in bed.



SAVE YOUR SOUL PT. 1

This is not a case of your serenity.
This is not a case of your serenity now.
Today’s the day you think you’re going to make it great, 
But your village called and now they’re going to celebrate.

At least you’ll live to tell the tale, 
I don’t think it’s going to get too stale, 
“I hope this doesn’t ruin your trading day.”

Other people stay the same, 
Other people play their games but not you. 
No not you.

Other people stand aside, 
Other people got something to hide but not you, no. 

Save Your Soul.

Save you, save me, 
Go carry the world upon your shoulder.


Today’s the day you think you’re going to make it great, 
But your village called and now they’re going to celebrate. 
Their idiot’s missing.

At least you’ll live to tell the tale, 
I don’t think it’s going to get too stale, 
“I hope this doesn’t ruin your trading day.” 

Other people stay the same, 
Other people play their games but not you. 
No not you.

Other people fantasize, 
Other people got something to hide but not you. 

Go…Save Your Soul. 
  
Save you, save me, 
Go carry the world upon your shoulder.


I’ve been waiting for the action plan from above. 
I’ve been waiting for the action plan of peace and love. 
But all I’m peepin’ are these crackheads telling me to get on the bus.

Save Your Soul.

Save you, save me, 
Go carry the world upon your shoulder.


I’ve been waiting for the action plan of peace and love. 
But all I’m peepin’ are these crackheads telling me to get on the bus.

Get on the bus.


TIE ME UP & HOLD ME DOWN 

There's no doubt, I haven't been too well, 
Same slobs every day, same as yesterday. 
You can tell, my mind is over-fried, 
Lame crap everyday, same as yesterday.

Don't want some big surprise, 
Your backstabbing ain’t disguised, 
It's like everything is such a major deal. 
You're shooting up too much.

I told you before to untie me.

Tie me up & hold me down, hold me down. 
Tie me up & hold me down, hold me down. 


I'm locked out, you think I have a clue, 
Safe sex doesn't work, you pay less with a jerk. 
Accept God, he holds your key to life, 
More cash for the Church, bless you Taco Bell.

More money for The Man, 
You don't fit in with his plan, 
It's like everything and an insider corruption ring. 
You're getting way too warm.

I told you before to untie me.

Tie me up & hold me down, hold me down. 
Tie me up & hold me down, hold me down. 
Tie me up & hold me down.


There's no doubt, I haven't been too well, 
Same crap everyday, hey man I told you before to untie me.

Tie me up & hold me down, hold me down. 
Tie me up & hold me down, hold me down. 
Tie me up & hold me down.



IT'S LATER, I’M WAITING 

Say you're right, 
It's all I ever seem to imagine. 
I've seen both sides of my life. 
Say you're wrong, 
I've never seemed to work for so long, 
To see my life denied. 
  
Seems like home. 
  
Come on down, come on down, come on down, come on down, 
It's later. 
Come on down, come on down, come on down, come on down, 
I'm waiting.
 
  
Say you're right, 
I'll never seem to rise above it, 
There's no room for my life. 
  
Seems like hope. 
  
Come on down, come on down, come on down, come on down, 
It's later. 
Come on down, come on down, come on down, come on down, 
I'm waiting.
 
  
What you've seen tomorrow isn't all yet. 
  
Say you're right, 
It's all I ever seem to imagine. 
  
Seems like home. 
  
Come on down, come on down, come on down, come on down, 
It's later. 
Come on down, come on down, come on down, come on down, 
I'm waiting. 
  
Come on down, come on down, come on down, come on down, 
It's later. 
Come on down, come on down, come on down, come on down, 
I'm waiting.



WHAT IS IT ALL… 

Leave your body now. 
You’ll see it, 
Look all around. 
To rise above the crowd, 
Sustained and released unbound. 
  
Build upon your soul. 
Your fear is under control. 
To wish or to desire. 
To gaze out beyond the fire. 
  
So sign me up for life. 
I’m coming this time. 
  
What is it all, 
What is it all, 
What is it all about I’d like to know. 

  
Home is where you are. 
No pain and no fear or scar. 
To shape your future stream. 
Your wish is to build extreme. 
  
So sign me up for life. 
I’m coming this time. 
  
What is it all, 
What is it all, 
What is it all about I’d like to know.
 
  
I’d like to know. 
  
So sign me up for a lifetime. 
So sign me up. 
  
What is it all, 
What is it all, 
What is it all about I’d like to know.
 
  
I’d like to know.


LISTEN UP

Listen up, I've been to hell & back, 
Can't stand the heat, the clock is ticking you're under attack, 
Sat and spun your way right out of town, 
Fought the enemy that's bringing you down. 
Listen up. 
  
Listen up there ain't no second shot, 
Believed the hype, don't ask me questions, I’m all that you've got. 
Lived a life of lame you beat to the ground, 
You’ve got no place like home for you to break out. 
  
Listen up, I've got your answer for everything, 
You want to own the world sell me your soul today, 
You wait so long for some divine inspiration, 
Divine intervention, yeah.
 
  
Pay attention there's a quiz at the end, 
Psychopathic Prozac persecution pretend, 
Listen up I've seen the Promised Land, 
See some evil stick your head in the sand. 

Listen up, I've got your answer for everything, 
You want to own the world sell me your soul today, 
You wait so long for some divine inspiration, 
Divine intervention, yeah.


Look what you've done, love is dead. 
It's no surprise, shot in the head. 
Right in it's prime. 
Don't you know, you drowned the man who taught you how to swim. 
Listen up. 
  
Listen up, I've got your answer for everything, 
You want to own the world sell me your soul today, 
You wait so long for some divine inspiration, 
Divine intervention, yeah.
 
  
Listen up.


MAYBE YOU’RE A PRODUCT

Safe and sound in your postal office block, 
Kip Kinkel and Mother Theresa’s shocked, 
The quick, the sick and the feed kill chain is locked, 
And the hits keep on coming around the clock. 
  
Safe and sound with the latest strip mall craze, 
Did a search and came back with fifty ways, 
Took a turn for the worse and got lost for days, 
Cut and pasted your way through a passing phase, yeah. 
  
Whoever said you got the job? 
  
Maybe you’re a product of sharing, 
Maybe you’re a product of caring, 
Maybe you’re a product of a cure that spreads like cancer, 
But I don’t think that’s the answer.
 
  
Held a hearing to stamp out what was right, 
Playstation and porn keep you up at night, 
Something Metal is now something new as Goth, 
Overloading your senses against the Cloth. 
  
Safe and sound with your postal guarantee, 
Looks cool on the screen it should work for me, 
A few more things for the rest of the recipe, 
Gonna bring you to justice for no fee, yeah. 
  
Whoever said you got the job? 
  
Maybe you’re a product of loving, 
Maybe you’re a product of shoving, 
And the hits keep on coming to find you, 
But I don’t think the worst is behind you. 
  
Maybe you’re a product of sharing, 
Maybe you’re a product of scaring, 
Maybe you’re a product of a cure that spreads like cancer, 
But I don’t think that we got the answer anymore.
 
  
Whoever said you got the job done? 
There’s nothing wrong with your medulla oblongata anymore. 
  
Maybe you’re a product of sharing, 
Maybe you’re a product of caring, 
And the hits keep on coming to find you, 
But I don’t think the worst is behind you. 
  
Maybe you’re a product of loving, 
Maybe you’re a product of shoving, 
Maybe you’re a product of yourself or someone who likes you, 
And I don’t think that I wanna fight you. 
  
Maybe you’re a product of good times 
Maybe you’re a product of hate crimes 
Maybe you’re a product of a cure that spreads like cancer, 
But I don’t think that’s the answer.
 


JUST FOUND FAITH

You came down from the heavens, your face carved out of stone, 
With wings, you were and angel not of this earth but you had to go home. 
  
A fight to win you over turned a smile into a frown, 
The canvas of a world meant to be treasured has been tainted with blood now. 
  
You hoped that there was something maybe someone could be saved, 
You’re needed more than ever now that everything has started to fade. 
  
If you see her, 
Tell her I’ve been waiting all of my life 
  
Over the hills, not so far away, 
I’ve been counting the hours, 
I’ve been counting the days, 
I can hardly wait, 
I’ve just found my faith. 

  
These days aren’t getting shorter getting easier to ride, 
If you could find it in your reach to break down to change this tide. 
To mask the disappointment, face a smile that doesn’t hide, 
To wash away forever and start over on a brand new life. 
  
If you see her, 
Tell her I’ve been waiting all of my life 
  
Over the hills, not so far away, 
I’ve been counting the hours, 
I’ve been counting the days, 
I can hardly wait, 
I’ve just found my faith.
 
  
Is it a simple procedure or could you somehow make it worse, then? 
What is it that I could do or could say or is it all so deranged that you’ve given up and called it a day? 
  
You came down from the heavens, your face carved out of stone, 
With wings, you were and angel on this earth but you had to go home. 
  
Over the hills, not so far away, 
I’ve been counting the hours, 
I’ve been counting the days, 
I can hardly wait, 
I’ve just found my faith.



SAVE YOUR SOUL PT. 2

Finally closed the case forever, 
So serene you’ve found the answer is out there. 
Every day defies old measures, 
Celebration’s off.  You’re on your own now. 

You changed your mind and changed your direction, 
Lived to spread the secret selection silence.
Rejected all the applications, 
Justice doesn’t feed your wants or desires.

Goodbye to those in control.

So save your soul, 
You carried the weight of it all on your own. 
So save your soul, 
You’ve worked for so long, now you’re coming home.


Got your fill of hate & violence, 
Entitled you to light your way on your own now. 
You waited for the action plan of peace and love but all you got were pretenders.

You changed your mind and changed your perception, 
While other people played along with their eyes closed. 
Fakes and frauds and phony dissemblers, 
Hypocrites decked out in cloaks of deception.

Goodbye to those who don’t know.

So save your soul, 
You carried the weight of it all on your own. 
So save your soul, 
You’ve worked for so long, now you’re coming home.


So save your soul, 
You carried the weight of it all on your own. 
So save your soul, 
You’ve worked for so long, now you’re coming home.


This is not a case of your serenity, 
This is not a case of your serenity now. 
Today’s the day you think you’re going to make it great, 
But your village called & now they’re going to celebrate. 
Their idiot’s missing.

I’ve been waiting for the action plan of peace & love, 
But all I’m seeing are these smackheads telling me to get on the bus…


"MACH FIVE"

I finally met my match this time, 
I finally got it all out of my mind, 
I think I'll let the pollution use me, abuse me. 
  
I've tried to shut it all outside, 
I've tried to take you out for a ride, 
I think I've done the best that I could, under the circumstances, 
  
And in the end, it’s up to you, 
You can't pretend it's all brand new, 
I think that in the end we’ll find something that you could use. 
  
Between the pettiness and greed, 
Between the exhibitionists that we feed, 
To get all bent out of shape's just not what we need, no. 
  
I'm gonna break on through to the other side, 
I'm gonna make it twice gonna go for a ride, 
As the years go by, you know I'm alive,
Won't you come with me 'till we're all Mach Five. 

  
I finally shut it all out for good, 
I finally got my ass out of the hood, 
I think it's finally time to head for the woods now. 
  
Between the pettiness and greed, 
Between the exhibitionists that we feed, 
To get all bent out of shape's just not what we need, no. 
  
I'm gonna break on through to the other side, 
I'm gonna make it twice gonna go for a ride, 
As the years go by, you know I'm alive, 
Won't you come with me 'till we're all Mach Five.
 
  
I finally met my match this time,
