1. Mindtrips
Mindtrips
A cold wind blowsright through him
While life is slipping away
Too weak he slowly gives in
While others empty the tray
Is that you call being free?
This creeping numbness inside
To go beyond what we see
To find a safe place to hide
The world is dragging you down
Your head is spinning around
The world is dragging you down
Your head just spins around
And when the walls close you in
You wish you were someboby else
You feel like you don't fit in
And run away from yourself
2. Same Old
Same Old
Did you hear that noise?
Did you see them run?
One life, one dream
Gone with a shot gun
No grief, no shame
No one to blame
Just one more blood stain
The same old games, the same old crap
They make you fall right into their trap
Open you eyes wide, be aware
Look around you'll see they're everywhere
In this city of lights
There's no wrong or right
Sex, drugs and crime
Walk side by side
Some strive and slide
Some get a free ride
3. When 2 R 1
When Two Are One
Unwilling to give in
To this feeling much stronger than me
We're slowly sliding down
Much deeper than our eyes can see
Two lonely wandering souls
Struck down by a strange desire
This time it seems so real
So true that it burns like fire
Two lives, two strangers
Two different paths linked to one another
One fights, one surrenders
Somehow we know we belong together
On through the silent night
When hidden feelings take over
I try to close my eyes
But my thoughts keep pushing me further
How long will we insist
On denying something so clear?
How far will we resist
To go along with no fear?
4. Off My Back
Off My Back
I'll tell ya man
Some people just don't know
What the fuck they're talking about
Don't listen to nobody
Do what you wanna do
Do what you think It's best for you
And screw them
I don't care what you say
For as long as I can breath
I'll keep on drifting away
Life is too short
I'll live it to the max
And I will do it my way
I gotta go because I've got better things to do
I want you to know I don't give a damn about you
You criticiza, you crucify, you like to preach
What you don't know is that I'm far beyond your reach
Look in the mirror brother, tell me what you see
You're face to face with your worst enemy
I don't need your dirt mind games, your hypocrisy
I know where I stand, I live by my own policy
Don't try to tell me what to say and how to act
You'd better mind your business, learn how to respect
Your words mean nothing to me, nor your judging eyes
Our world is full of lies, full of sick minds
My lefe is mine and not yours, will you let me be
You see, what's good for you might not be good for me
I won't waste my time with people that refuse to see
Nothing will hold me back, I've chosen to be free
5. Wake Up
Wake Up
Power to keep you under control
Money to keep them playing their role
Experts in plans that never work out
You're not the one they're worried about
Wake up, this ain't a dream
Your life is in their hands
They steal before your eyes
Wake up, begin to rise
Bastards in suits who play with your mind
Should be behind bars with their kind
It's time for you to turn things around
Wise up, before they start the next round
6. Keep On Trying
Keep On Trying
Sometimes I get so tired of struggling
And wonder why I should keep on running
Sometimes I wish I could let you go
But sometimes tells me to keep on trying
And when my feelings get out of control
No one hears what I say
Your touch can please my uneasy soul
So come and take me away
Although I don't know why
I keep on running
No matter what I've got
To keep on trying
Sometimes I'll catch myself daydreaming
Walking without knowing where I'm going
Sometimes we have to rise and break free
Because we all need room to keep on growing
7. On Your Own
On Your Own
Cold faces, lives left stranded
Starved and empty handed
Walk down the streets alone
The only home they've known
Since no one seems to care
Apathy is everywhere
They're begging to survive
And keep themselves alive
You're wasting your time
The system is blind
You have to fight
On you own
No rope, no rules to follow
Who hears the sounds of sorrow?
Despised by eyes that won't give
Give them a reason to live
Ignored by those in command
No sympathy, no helping hand
So as the days go by
Young lives are left to die
8. Goodbye
Goodbye
Look at yourself, look within
Who you are and where you've been
All the thing you've left behind
Too much pride can make you pride
You will learn it the hard way
If you think you'll get away
With the stupid things you do
Be sure that one day
They will come back to you
I believe in myself
Myself and nobody eles
I have got to move on
And say goodbye
Stop pretending to be strong
Can't you see your plans went wrong
You'll no longer bring me down
It feels so good when you're not around
You put me through a lot of pain
Now I know it was in vain
But before you realize
What you have lost
I'll be out of your life
9. Living Hell
Living Hell
Mountains crumble to the ground
Buildings, houses, all burn down
Nothing left but dust
A silent cry on through the night
Faceless shadows, fallen angels, fly high
Money makes the world go around
It takes you higher until you drown
Kingdoms built on dirt
Devastation, desolation
Madness rules, pay your dues, you scapegoat
Struggling to where honesty lacks
There's too much dirt in the facts
They're rolling the dice
They're cutting their share
You know they just don't care
I've made up my mind, ain't taking no more
Stop the game because we know the score
Little puppets, little toys
He who builds, he who destroys
Marathon of pain
Deep inside the truth they hide
Point of entry, where good and bad collide
10. Whole Lotta Love
Whole Lotta Love
You need coolin', baby, I'm not foolin',
I'm gonna send you back to schoolin',
Way down inside honey, you need it,
I'm gonna give you my love,
I'm gonna give you my love.
Wanna Whole Lotta Love
Wanna Whole Lotta Love
Wanna Whole Lotta Love
Wanna Whole Lotta Love
You've been learnin', baby, I bean learnin',
All them good times, baby, baby, I've been yearnin',
Way, way down inside honey, you need it,
I'm gonna give you my love... I'm gonna give you my love.
Wanna Whole Lotta Love
Wanna Whole Lotta Love
Wanna Whole Lotta Love
Wanna Whole Lotta Love
You've been coolin', baby, I've been droolin',
All the good times I've been misusin',
Way, way down inside, I'm gonna give you my love,
I'm gonna give you every inch of my love,
Gonna give you my love.
Wanna Whole Lotta Love
Wanna Whole Lotta Love
Wanna Whole Lotta Love
Wanna Whole Lotta Love
Way down inside... woman... You need... love.
Shake for me, girl. I wanna be your backdoor man.
Keep it coolin', baby.
