Everybody saying we gotta take a chance
And telling me what the hell went wrong
We only listen to the words that we sing
Now a million are singing along
(Last one)
We got it right, you got wrong,
Were still around (Last one to die)
Were going up, you're going down
Were still around (Last one to die)
The ones that counted us out
Regret that they packed the fight
We sit on top of the world
And were proving it every night
(Last one)
We got it right, you got wrong,
[Más Letras en http://es.mp3lyrics.org/KM9R]
Were still around (Last one to die)
Were going up, you're going down
Were still around (Last one to die)
Thru the storm and the gigs
And the good and the bad
There ain't no doubt
We knew from the very first show, what it was all about
(Last one)
We got it right, you got wrong,
Were still around (Last one to die)
Were going up, you're going down
Were still around (Last one to die)
(Last one to die)
(Last one to die)
(Come on)
(Come on)
(Come on)
(Last one to die)
(Come on)
(Come on)
(Come on)
Don't call me white, don't call me white
Don't call me white, don't call me white
The connotations wearing my nerves thin
Could it be semantics generating the mess we're in?
I understand that language breeds stereotype
But what's the explanation for the malice?
For the spite?
Don't call me white, don't call me white
Don't call me white, don't call me white
I wasn't brought here, I was born
Circumcised, categorized, allegiance sworn
Does this mean I have to take such shit
For being fair skinned? No!
I ain't a part of no conspiracy
I'm just your average joe
Don't call me white, don't call me white
Don't call me white, don't call me white
Represents everything I hate
The soap shoved in the mouth to cleanse the mind
The vast majority of sheep
A buttoned collar, starched and bleached
Constricting veins, the blood flow to the brain slows
They're so fuckin ordinary white
Don't call me white
Oh, we're better off this way?
Oh, say what you're gonna say
So go ahead and label me an asshole 'cause I can
Accept responsibility for what I've done but not for who I am
Don't call me white
Don't call me white, don't call me white
I never thought about the universe, it made me feel small
Never thought about the problems of this planet at all
Global warming, radio-active sites
Imperialistic wrongs and animal rights! No!
Why think of all the bad things when life is so good?
Why help with an 'am' when there's always a 'could'?
Let the whales worry about the poisons in the sea
Outside of California, it's foreign policy
I don't want changes, I have no reactions
Your dilemmas are my distractions
That's no way to go, Franco Un-American
No way to go, Franco Un-American
No way to go, Franco Un-American
No way to go, Franco, Franco Un-American
I never looked around, never second-guessed
Then I read some Howard Zinn now I'm always depressed
And now I can't sleep from years of apathy
All because I read a little Noam Chomsky
I'm eating vegetation, 'cause of Fast Food Nation
I'm wearing uncomfortable shoes 'cause of globalization
I'm watching Michael Moore expose the awful truth
I'm listening to Public Enemy and Reagan Youth
I see no world peace 'cause of zealous armed forces
I eat no breath-mints 'cause they're from de-hoofed horses
Now I can't believe; what an absolute failure
The president's laughing 'cause we voted for Nader
That's no way to go, Franco Un-American
No way to go, Franco Un-American
No way to go, Franco Un-American
Where can we go, Franco Un-American
I want to move north and be a Canadian
Or hang down low with the nice Australians
I don't want to be another "I-don't-care"-ican
What are we gonna do Franco, Franco Un-American
He spent fifteen years getting loaded
Fifteen years 'till his liver exploded
What's Bob gonna do now that he can't drink?
The doctor said, "what were you thinkin' 'bout?"
Bob said, "That's the point,
I wasn't thinkin' 'bout nothing
I gotta do something else,"
OI OI OI
"To pass the time."
He went and shaved his head. A new identity.
12 holed Doctor Martin boots
And a girl who rides a scooter
Gonna take him out, of town
They would get away
Riding around, as the trucks drive by
You could here the mother fuckers go...
A couple of lines, an extra thermos of Joe
He'll be kickin' in heads at the punk rock show
Bob's the kinda guy who knows just
Bob's the kinda guy who knows just what to do
When the doctor tells him to
"Quit your drinkin' all the time."
Will he ever walk the line
To all my friends, I feel fine
But will he ever walk the line
Kickin' ass and bustin' heads
Billy Brag Records
Once a day he shaves his head
But will he ever walk the line?
But will he ever walk the line?
But will he ever walk the line?
But will he ever walk the line?
But will he ever walk the line?
[Father:] Hey Kids!
[Kids:] Hey Dad!
[Father:] What'da want to do today?
[Kids:] We don't know.
[Father:] Wanna go to the matinee?
[Kids:] NO!
[Father:] Wanna go to the Amusement Park?
[Kids:] NO!
[Father:] Wanna go to the punk rock show?
[Kids:] Yeah! Let's go to the punk rock show!
Lost in a sea of combat boots,
Flush the bouncers with wasted youth
When did punk rock become so safe?
When did the scene become a joke?
The kids who used to live for beer and speed
Now want their fries and coke
Cursing and flipping birds are not allowed,
In fact let's keep noise levels down
Must separate the church and skate!
Why don't we put pads on the kids?
Helmets, head gear and mouth pieces!
Then we could pad the floor and walls,
Put cameras inside bathroom stalls
We make sure only nice bands play,
Make every show a matinee
Teach kids to be all they can be,
And we could sing my country tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
When did punk rock become so safe?
I know it wasn't Duane or Fletcher,
Who put up the barricades
Like a stake in the heart,
Somehow we got driven apart
[Solo]
I want conflict! I want dissent!
I want the scene to represent
Our hatred of authority,
Our fight against complacency
Stop singing songs 'bout girls and love!
You killed the owl! You freed the dove!
Confrontation and politics
Replaced with harmonies and shticks
When did punk rock become so tame?
These fucking bands all sound the same
We want our fights we want our thugs!
We want our burns we want our drugs!
Where is the violent apathy?!
These fucking records are rated G!
Since the day of my departure
I've been stumbling through reality
I play my symphony in reverse
as I aim for that special path
Be gentle to the tear in this eye
Lonesome arms, lost its wings again
Buy me a trip to the moon
So I can laugh at my mistakes
You see, I can see the EARTH from here
From this perspective it looks kind of silly
Satellites and astronauts
Tell me there are greater things ahead
Make me feel like a man
A silent cry from the middle of hell
(I - the irony - I promise, I'll be mature
So please, please invite me
please, invite me, to your shelter again)
Been hiding since I heard "never"
Take me back to yesterday, I need to grow
Buy me a trip to the moon
So I can laugh at my mistakes
You see, I can see the EARTH from here
From this perspective it looks kind of silly
Satellites and astronauts
Tell me there are greater things ahead
Buy me a trip to the moon
So I can laugh at my mistakes
You see, I can see the EARTH from here
From this perspective it looks kind of silly
Satellites and astronauts
Tell me there are...
Steal my mask, and make me pay
I need a new skin, I'm going insane.
Spinning further deeper
I know you're out to try me
I'm not in this to be a slave
I push the dirt
Make me feel
Locate what swallows life
Night bird you build my world
And then I close my eyes
And then I close my eyes
Judge me now
Used to be afraid to let it show, bow down
good king in my own mind
Everything is in place
So much brighter from today
Drown the monster
Make all bad dreams go away
Whatever it takes to keep your hands free
Open scars
My Quiet Place
All the bridges fall to the ground,
and you say you sacrificed
And then I close my eyes
And then I close my eyes
Judge me now,
Used to be afraid to let it show, bow down, bow down
A king, in my own mind
Everything is in place
So much brighter from today
A king in my own mind
Judge me now
A king in my own mind
Judge me now
A king in my own mind
Judge me now
Used to be afraid to let it show, bow down (bow down)
A king, in my own mind.
Everything is in place
So much brighter from today
A king in my own mind...
Christmas night
Another fight
Tears we cried, a flood
Got all kinds of poison in
Of poison in my blood
I took my feet to Oxford Street
Trying to right a wrong
Just walk away, those windows say
But I can't believe she's gone
When you're still waiting for the snow to fall
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
A cup of candles, oh they flicker
Oh, they flicker and they float
And I'm up here holding onto all those chandeliers of
hope
Like some drunkard Elvis singing
I go singing out of tune
Saying how I always loved you, darling
And I always will
Oh when you're still waiting for the snow to fall
[- From :http://www.elyrics.net/read/c/coldplay-lyrics/christmas-lights-lyrics.html -]
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
You're still waiting for the snow to fall
It doesn't really feel like Christmas at all
Those Christmas lights
Light up the street
Down where the sea and city meet
May all your troubles soon be gone
Oh Christmas lights, keep shining on
Those Christmas lights
Light up the street
Maybe they'll bring her back to me
Then all my troubles will be gone
Oh Christmas lights, keep shining on
Oh Christmas lights
Light up the street
Light up the fireworks in me
May all your troubles soon be gone
Those Christmas lights, keep shining on
