Change Coming Near

Sitting around here waiting
for something worthwhile to happen
but who the hell am I fooling,
when wasting time is all that I'm doing?
cause there's 52 weeks in a year
365 reasons to clear the air
and get a new start, brandish a new heart
there's a change coming near, a change coming near.
So forget your New Year's resolutions
we'll go straight for the solution
no more daydream delusions
because my time is my time
I got 52 weeks in a year
365 reasons to clear the air
and get a new start.
brandish a new heart.
I got people to see, places to be
battles to conquer, expectations to meet
I got dues to pay because now nothing comes easy.
nothing comes easy.
no, nothing comes easy anymore.

Who's Selling Who?
03:30
|

All this time
you had the dream to stand in the front of the line
but you worship false idols on your TV
that ain't reality, but just a fantasy
still, you got your lessons and you started a band
got a visit from the A&R man
selling dreams and lies of hope to you
but the hidden agenda's in view
because they take you and they break you
and turn you into what they want
i said they take you and they break you
and turn you into what they want,
but oh my dear,
everything seemed fine when you signed on that line
but you sold your soul to the devil and now you can't get it back
Oh Mary Mary, don't misunderstand
Is it necessary to sell your soul to them?
Image ain't important, throw it out the door
Good liars candy-coat the truth, tell me
Who's selling who?
All this time,
I never thought you would compromise
but you found out the president
had dollar signs in his eyes
cause they took you and they broke you
and they turned you into what they wanted
you sold your soul to the devil, now you can't get it back
Oh Mary Mary, don't misunderstand
Is it necessary to sell your soul to them?
Image ain't important, throw it out the door
Good liars candy-coat the truth, tell me
Who's selling you?
Who's selling you?

Nightshift

If we can meet this weekend, we can turn it on.
Nobody has to know a thing, we can leave it alone
Just call me up and let me know when the fool is gone
If we meet this weekend.
He's been staying out late at work every night this week
He's got paperwork to his neck, or so she thinks
but really dude's been eying up his new secretary
leaving me and wifey at home all alone, playing secondary.
If we can meet this weekend, we can turn it on.
Nobody has to know a thing, we can leave it alone
Just call me up and let me know when the fool is gone
Nobody has to know a thing.
.
With so much love to give and nobody to share it with,
in a situation like this, wifey's starting to get desperate
So if your husband's time is up, you can sign me up
I'll gladly work the night shift.
So guy's been out and I'm pretty sure
that if he comes home early,
I can always sneak out the back door
So while dude's been shagging up with his secretary
He's been leaving me and wifey at home all alone
I'm playing missionary.

The Rainfall
06:11
|
|||
|
I cant tell it ain't easy
sometimes to hear me
cause my my words get misconstrued when
my heart gets the best of my head.
And as you look away
the disappointment creeps on your face
cause it'd be easy to forgive and forget
but some words just can't be erased.
cause I knew there would come a time
when the trust would grow,
but as the memories fade
just wanna let you know
that before you go away
and leave me here out in the open like this
without that final last kiss-
I deserve every second of this.
So let the rain fall down on me.
Let the rain fall down on me.
Let the rain fall down on me.
I'm undeserving of sympathy.
I can tell it ain't easy
sometimes to please me
cause my moods are always changing
this life rearranges itself
and as you drove away
it finally all made sense,
that being right ain't always important
when it comes to petty arguments
cause people they come
and people they go
but as the memories fade
the callouses start to show
so now you've gone away
and left me here out in the open like this
without that final last kiss-
I deserve every second of this.
So let the rain fall down on me.
Let the rain fall down on me.
Let the rain fall down on me.
I'm undeserving of sympathy.
I can't expect you to forget all the
mistakes and the regret that I
never ever meant to bring
I'm undeserving of your sympathy
so let the rain
let the rain
let the rain
let the rain
let it all down on me
let the rain fall down on me.

Redeyes
03:57

red eyes looking over my back
chemicals pumping through
feels like a heart attack
I said hey yeah
red eyes looking over my back
chemical-ed, liberated
with my hand on a gun
i said hey yeah
i said hey yeah
and if you want to take the time
to mess around
motherfucker, gonna bring you down
I got a 16 gauge buried under my bed
and you can take it all away, take it all away
take it all away
something's deep down inside of me
something deep that says to me
nothing, nothing ever satisfies
nothing, nothing through the red eye
I feel it deep down inside of me
nothing feels like it ever should be
nothing, no nothing ever satisfies
say goodbye to everyone
I got a gun
I said hey
take it all away.

A Different Story
03:34
|
|||
|
Making my way off of the sidelines
tired of sitting around.
At first it was fun
but now it's a different story
and it's time to move on.
cause hey-hey-hey
somewhere between then and now it seems
she's become someone I can't believe
hey-hey-hey
nobody told me that she'd turn into a psycho
now I need some room to breathe
cause it's in the way she loves me
it's in the way she loves me now
it's in the way she loves me, feels like I'm falling down
I think i'm going crazy, I'm not seeing things right
feels like I'm losing my mind
feels like I'm losing my mind.
making my way isn't that easy
when she's everywhere that I go
my friends all tease me
and I think it's starting to get out of control
cause hey-hey-hey
she's got this world her mind's been living in
it's like I'm back in highschool
hey-hey-hey
nobody told me that loving would be easy
oh, I'm such a fool
cause it's in the way she loves me
it's in the way she loves me now
it's in the way she loves me, feels like I'm falling down
I think i'm going crazy, I'm not seeing things right
feels like I'm losing my mind
I know I'm losing my mind.
hey-hey-hey
somewhere between then and now it seems
she's become someone I can't believe
hey-hey-hey
nobody told me I'd end up loving her
well, I just need some room to breathe
cause it's in the way she loves me
it's in the way she loves me now
it's in the way she loves me, feels like I'm falling down
I think i'm going crazy, I'm not seeing things right
feels like I'm losing my mind
I know I'm losing my mind.
Making my way off of the sidelines
tired of sitting around.
At first it was fun
but now it's a different story
and it's time to move on.

Ode To Mary

Mary don't come around no more,
like she did last summer
and I don't quite understand
what her deal is.
It's hard to make it through the day
without thinking of her.
Withdrawal is making me feel ill
but I can't deny I love her still.
Every day I wake up and clock in at a job that
I hate to do, but hey that's life-
same for me and you.
It's the everyday stress
that seems to get the best of me sometimes
but oh yeah, that's where Mary comes in.
Put it in a bowl and it feels good my soul
put it in a bowl and I'm ready to rock and roll.
Put it in a bowl and it feels good my soul
put it in a bowl and I'm ready to rock and roll.
and I breathe in her love.
Mary don't come around no more
like she did last summer
and I don't quite understand
what her deal is.
It's hard to make it through the day
without thinking of her.
Withdrawal is making me feel ill
but I can't deny, I love her still.
