1. This Is My Life
I hear the words of the feigners
telling me what life is meaning
I pass em by and let them go on screaming
I'm living off of Rock-n-Roll
the only life I've ever known
I let them all...let them all go on by
This is my life
Let the sun shine bright
My world is right
I couldn't fit in any mode
if the cause ain't right
I know my way
get thru the day
this is my life and it's gonna stay that way
Now I let them all go on screaming
let them sny % give reason's (reason's)
Let them all, let them cry treason
I'm living off of Rock-n-Roll
I'll do it till the day I'm old
I'll just keep on never asking why
this is my life
2. Breakdown (short)
I can see the leaves they're shaking
I can feel the earth it's quaking
and I'm so down and I can't go on
Can't go on
go on
Noooooooo!
Something in the room is confusing me
Something outside has changed
Maybe I'm too high and just can't see
Maybe it's just this dream
Ooooooh just can't go on
You took you aim just a little too far
Put your faith in a shooting star
Don't yo know the fire fades when fuel is gone
Don't ya feel like a breakdown's coming
I feel a breakdown coming on
I feel a breakdown coming on
Sitting on the edge of what I used to be
Hanging on a line that used to set me free
Now that your dream's have all gone
Don't ya feel like a breakdown's coming
Dream's will waste your life away
Hope will eat your heart away
3. Getting To Me
I'm thinking of the world and the tragedy
I can't get no relief
I'm thinking of the plan's and where I fit in
I'm thinking about a new lease
The world's spinning faster, I don't know if I'll last here
I can't keep up the pace
The Russian's are calling, the Mideast is falling
The world is getting to me
I try to stay calm catch my breath well
I'm just breathing faster
I turn on the T.V. what do I see
It's getting to me
Sometimes at night I wake up in a cold sweat
and I'm screaming some name
I'm asking all the questions, but get no answers
I'm losing this game
The future I see has no place for me
My presence is absent
I'm just another pall bearer holding the handle
of our own casket
I'm thinking of the world & the tragedy
Well I can't get no relief
I'm thinking of the plans and where I fit in
I'm thinking about a new lease
The future I see has no place for me
My presence is absent
I'm just another pallbearer holding the handle
Of our own casket
4. Save It For The Night
I can't help running and slipping away
You look at me and I can see what you say
You keep me running all of the time
I can't help screamin I'll go out of my mind
We keep on living We keep on loving
Now
Save it for tonight Too much is just too much
Save it for tonight I'm waiting for your touch
Save it for tonight
You shouldn't have been, but I caught your fever
I think you knew it as I conceived it
You should have seen it when I caught flame
You shook & moved me like a piece in a game
We keep on living We keep on loving
Now
You should have seen it when I caught flame
You shook and moved me like a piece in a game
We keep on living We keep on loving
Now
Save it for tonight
5. Trespass Offering
Too hard to see too much to be
Things don't seem the way they
Used to be
Peace for your heart and love to your soul
all there's to offer is from day's long ago
In this world so full of hate & greed
Can't you see what a mind needs to see
We can change it
Now see from your mind and feel from your soul
There's something more to life than
Hate, Greed and Gold
Will you take the offer If I foot the bill
If we can get together we'll surely aid this ill
My mind keeps racin on dreams of yesterday
When Peace and Love were one and the same
We can change it
We can live as one with one
We can't go fighting over each other's heart
We need the Power, we need the strength
What we need is deep inside our selves
I can't keep racing on dreams of yesterday
When Peace and Love were one and the same
We can change it
My mind keeps racing on dreams of yesterday
6. Breakdown (long)
