1. Coma
Sleeping with a time bomb
Rumble in my dreams
Innocence been long gone
Fall apart at the seams
Looking through the windows, walking through the doors
I can't help this feeling, I been here before
Everything is different, Everything the same
I know the rules, I played the game!
Cry out! Tell me what its gonna be!
Reach out! Is everything the same...?
Cry out! Tell me what you really see!
Reach out!
A coma steals my name...
Coma... Coma... Coma!
Wake to an explosion
Nothing seemed so real
Innocence corroding
Alone is all I feel
Reaching out to no one, knowing no one's there
Afraid to be afraid of another nameless fear
I got all the reasons, don't need no more
Blinded by illusions, locked behind the door
Cry out! Tell me what its gonna be
Reach out! Is everything the same...?
Cry out! Tell me what you really see
Reach out!
An' a coma stole my name...
Coma! Coma! Coma!
Sleeping now forever
Murdered in my dreams.
Innocence was never
Goin' to extremes.
Busting through the windows, kickin' down the doors
Standing up for me, never did before
Now I lay me down to sleep, and if I die before I wake
Cry out! Tell me what you really see
Reach out! Is everything the same...?
Cry out! Tell me what it's gonna be
Reach out! An' a coma stole my name...
Coma... Coma... Coma!
I'm outta the dive an' comin' alive.
2. Thanx for Nothin'
Sick and tired of the same ol' shit.
Fighting battles that I just can't win.
How can you tell me what it is you want
When you don't even know yourself?
Live your life one death at a time,
See the road, can't read the signs.
All the wrongs just can't be right,
Hear my bark for you feel my bite!
If you could only see what you wanted us to see.
If you could only be what you wanted us to be.
I ain't fallin' for the tricks the schemes, the same old lies.
When it's over cry for sympathy,
Don't ask why.
Thanks for nothin'
Yeah I said nothin'
Next time better think before you speak.
I dunno if I can take no more,
I'm baggin' it I'm out the door.
How can you say you know what I mean
as you're pissin' all over my life?
Time is precious, time is mine.
Waitin' here would just be fine.
Bless my soul, time has come,
Tide has turned! see Dick run!!!
If you could only be what you wanted us to be.
If you could only see what you wanted us to see.
I ain't fallin' for the tricks the schemes, the same old lies.
When it's over cry for sympathy,
Don't ask why.
Thanks for nothing,
It better be nothing.
Next time better think before you speak!
You never think! before you speak.
Sometimes think! before you speak.
I've been watching you.
Barely stand to look you in the face
All tolerance not popularity
There is someone here to take you place
Why don't you think! before you speak.
You never think! before you speak!
If you could only see what you wanted us to see.
If you could only be what you wanted us to be.
I ain't fallin' for the tricks the schemes, the same old lies.
When it's over cry for sympathy,
Don't ask why.
Thanks for nothing! Thanks for nothing!
Next time better think before you...
Hit the road.
3. New Machine
Nailed to the cross by just words,
Crucifixion complete.
Close enough to the fire...
To feel temptation's heat.
It's gone away to taste the ground,
Replaced by the incessant sound of fear.
There's a ring in my ears,
I'm bleeding from my heart.
Far away from love...
The execution starts.
Made us what we are today,
A lonely pile of disarray.
We are the children of a new regime
We are the children of a new machine.
Mass production, thought controlled.
No I never knew my heart.
No. Never knew the love...
That made them fall apart.
It's gone away to taste the ground,
Replaced by the incessant sound we hear.
We are the children of a new regime
We are the children of a new machine
We are the children of a new regime
We are the children of a new machine
We are the children
Ya, the children
What of the children?
We are the children of the new machine.
What of the children?
We are the children of the new machine.
The new machine.
4. Frankenstein (Edgar Winter cover)
