When I was three feet tall I loved the mall And lived life for myself Fallin′ down for laughs Your photograph Some puppets made of felt
Watching life in Oz Thanksgivin′ Eve on Grandma′s old TV Dancing roundabout, I′d twist and shout for everyone to see
Impersonality It′s leanin′ hard on me
Mama′s in a shop Watching little sister by myself Robbed a wishing pond In a fleeting bond Vowed to share the wealth
Scooping up the coins A warning shot from some authority Doesn′t matter now, but I′ll shout out loud for everyone to see
Never got to know you Did you ever wonder why Now it′s nice to know ya And I′m glad you′re doing fine Think of all the time lost Was it really lost at all Now I′m so proud of ya I′d love to tell you all I see Listen hard to your reality
Impersonality It′s leanin′ hard on me Impersonality It′s leanin′ hard on me
Ecstasy is all you need Living in the big machine Oh you′re so vain Now your world is way too fast Nothing′s real and nothing lasts And I′m aware I′m in love but you don′t care
Turn your anger into lust I′m still here but you don′t trust at all And I′ll be waiting Love and sex and loneliness Take what′s yours and leave the rest So I′ll survive God it′s good to be alive
I′m torn in pieces I′m blind and waiting for you My heart is reeling I′m blind and waiting for you
Still in love with all your sins Where you stop and I begin And I′ll be waiting Living like a house on fire What you fear is your desire It′s hard to deal I still love the way you feel
Now this angry little girl Drowning in this petty world And I′m who you run to Swallow all your bitter pills That′s what makes you beautiful You′re all or not I don′t need what you ain′t got
I′m torn in pieces I′m blind and waiting for you My heart is reeling I′m blind and waiting for you
I′m blind and waiting for you I′m blind and waiting for you No I can′t believe it′s coming true God it′s good to be alive And I′m still here waiting for you No I can′t believe it′s coming true I′m blind and waiting for you
When you′re feeling all wrong in the back of your mind again How does it feel When you drop down everything′s all the same Oh yeah Saccharine caffeine nicotine gum Yeah it tastes sweet but it′s not for long And I just think you thought it would be
When you′re looking for truth on the cover of a magazine How does it feel When you find out what you′re not gonna be Oh yeah They give you your image and the things you believe Open your eyes tell me what did you see And I just think you thought it surreal
How does it feel when you′re out on your own And now it′s too late to come home And it′s hard to be free when you′re down on your knees Take it easy till you make it alone
Now you′re a supermarket punk rock television comedy Out on the scene Yeah I bit down now there′s no hand to feed Oh yeah And all the beautiful images lining your walls Pop radio screaming down the halls Now you think you found something real
When it′s all about money and the things that you need Live a big lie and they all believe Now I just find that somehow obscene
How does it feel when to be out on your own And now it′s too late to come home And it′s hard to be free when you′re down on your knees Take it easy till you make it alone Take it easy till you make it alone
What a scene Yeah It′s all been said before And all been done Take it easy till you make it alone Take it easy til you make it alone
Lies weigh more than truth Innocence looks good on you Now everybody wants to know your name
And I′ve had to fight Another blurred affair tonight Eyelids wrestle once again Never gonna see my friend Guided by the blinding white
Have you left home in spite From knowing I′m alone tonight Waiting for the light of day Doesn′t matter anyway Something that I need to say
And I′ve gone underground I′m never hangin′ ′round Should′ve made it back again
Why can′t the moon stay full forever Wednesday′s bad but Friday′s ain′t much better (Someone′s hell) Why can′t the moon stay full forever Right now she′s got nothin′ on her mind
Will this neverland Free me from its clutching hand It won′t release me
And I′ve gone underground Obsessions I have found Couldn′t make it back again
Why can′t the moon stay full forever Wednesday′s bad but Friday′s ain′t much better (Someone′s hell) Why can′t the moon stay full forever Right now she′s got nothin′ on her mind
Baby′s black balloon makes her fly I almost fell into that hole in your life And you′re not thinking ′bout tomorrow Cuz you were the same as me But on your knees
A thousand other boys could never reach you How could I have been the one I saw the world spin beneath you And scatter like ice from the spoon that was your womb
Comin′ down the world turned over And angels fall without you there And I go on as you get colder Or are you someone′s prayer
You know the lies they always told you And the love you never knew What′s the things they never showed you That swallow the light from the sun inside your room, yeah

I′ll open up my head awhile Its been dead for years Must′ve been a victim of my peers One is for my happiness The other for my health The last is something bigger than myself
I ain′t the only one I ain′t the only one I ain′t the only one to say
I′m talkin′ to myself again I′ll just start a fight And nobody can prove me wrong, I′m right Anti-hero idol with a suicide excuse A thousand other suckers who try and fill your shoes
I ain′t the only one I ain′t the only one I ain′t the only one to say
I ain′t the only one I ain′t the only one I ain′t the only one to say
Little pictures in my head, turnin′ inside-out again Cuz fuckin′ up takes practice, I feel I′m well rehearsed Because the past is a bully and the future′s even worse Tell me what you fear cuz I can feel it like a curse
Well, you used to be a folk singer, now you′re just a joke singer Ain′t no smokin′ dope singer, swingin′ from a rope singer
I ain′t the only one I ain′t the only one I ain′t the only one to say
Flat top intervention Bringin′ home the new invention See it there in pieces on the ground
A television war between the cynics and the saints Flip the dial and that′s whose side you′re on A-sleeping on the White House lawn ain′t never changed a thing Just look at all the washed out Hippie dreams
And it′s fallin′ all around us Is this some kind of joke they′re trying to pull on us Fallin′ all around us I′ll turn my head off for a while
The tabloid generation′s lost Choking on it′s fear Used to be that′s all we had to fear
And conscience keeps us quiet while the crooked love to speak There′s knowledge wrapped in blankets on the street A visionary coward says that anger can be power As long as there′s a victim on TV
And it′s fallin′ all around us Is this some kind of joke they′re trying to pull on us Fallin′ all around us I′ll turn my head off for a while
And my dirty dreams all come alive on my TV screen And assasination plots show me what I haven′t got Show me what I love, and who I′m supposed to be Show me everything I need Show it all to me Show it all to me
And it′s fallin′ all around us Is this some kind of joke they′re trying to pull on us Fallin′ all around us I′ll turn my head off for a whi-i-i-i-ile
And even though the moment passed me by I still can′t turn away Cuz all the dreams you never thought you′d lose Got tossed along the way And letters that you never meant to send Got lost or thrown away
And now we′re grown up orphans And never knew their names We don′t belong to no one That′s a shame But you could hide beside me Maybe for a while And I won′t tell no one your name And I won′t tell ′em your name
And scars are souvenirs you never lose The past is never far Did you lose yourself somewhere out there Did you get to be a star And don′t it make you sad to know that life Is more than who we are
We grew up way too fast And now there′s nothing to believe And reruns all become our history A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio And I won′t tell no one your name And I won′t tell ′em your name I won′t tell em′ your name Oooh, oooh, oooh I won′t tell em′ your name Ow!
I think about you all the time But I don′t need the same It′s lonely where you are Come back down And I won′t tell ′em your name
I′m a fortunate son of a fortunate son Livin′ large on the wrong side of town Too many friends and the fun never ends Drinkin′ and hangin′ around
I wanna rule the world, wanna swallow it whole At least I could kick it all down I wanna kick it all down
Eyes wide open, I can′t see Eyes wide open, what you mean Eyes wide open, I can′t seem to be My eyes wide open, I can′t see Eyes wide open, what you mean Eyes wide open, I can′t seem to be
I don′t take the bus and I never walk too far The furthest I got was my own backyard A fist full of cash that somebody else earned Send me some more when it all got burned
I wanna take control, wanna make it all mine At least I could kick it all down I wanna′ kick it all down
Eyes wide open, I can′t see Eyes wide open, what you mean Eyes wide open, I can′t seem to be My eyes wide open, I can′t see Eyes wide open, what you mean Eyes wide open, I can′t seem to be
Never ever ever Never ever ever Never ever ever Never ever ever
I get what I want if I make up my mind I′m turnin′ you inside out I wanna rule the world, wanna swallow it whole I think I′ll just kick it all down I wanna kick it all down
Eyes wide open, I can′t see Eyes wide open, what you mean Eyes wide open, I can′t seem to be My eyes wide open, I can′t see Eyes wide open, what you mean Eyes wide open, I can′t seem to be Eyes wide open [fade out]
Daylight burns your sleepy eyes And it′s hard to see you dreaming You hide inside yourself I wonder what you′re thinkin′ And everything you′re chasing It seems to leave you empty
And I won′t take long to burn All eyes on me Through the nothing that you′ve learned All eyes on me And the things you choose to be All eyes on me
But your eyes look away It′s so hard to be someone Strung out from today And all that you knew slips away
You drown in deeper oceans Inventing new religions They smile and stab my back and I lie and have to laugh
And I won′t take long to burn All eyes on me Through the nothing that you′ve learned All eyes on me And the things you choose to be All eyes on me
But your eyes look away It′s so hard to be someone Strung out from today And all that you knew slips away
And you hide in your room And the lights turn away And you move from the truth It′s all so far from you
Broadway′s dark tonight A little bit weaker than you used to be Broadway′s dark tonight See the young man sittin′ in the old man′s bar Waitin′ for his turn to die
The cowboy kills the rock star And Friday night′s gone too far The dim light hides the years On all the faded girls
Forgotten but not gone You drink it off your mind You talk about the world like it′s someplace that you′ve been

You see, you′d love to run home, but you know you ain′t got one Cuz you′re livin′ in a world that you′re best forgotten When you′re thinkin′ you′re a joke and nobody′s gonna listen To the one small point I know they′ve been missing around here

Oh yeah everything′s all wrong yeah Everything′s all wrong yeah Where the hell did I think I was
Stranger than your sympathy I take these things so I don′t feel I′m killing myself from the inside out Now my head′s been filled with doubt
It′s hard to lead the life you choose All I wanted When all your luck′s run out on you All I wanted You can′t see when all your dreams are coming true
Oh yeah it′s easy to forget yeah You choke on the regrets yeah Who the hell did I think I was
Stranger than your sympathy All these thoughts you stole from me I′m not sure where I belong Nowhere′s home and I′m all wrong
And I wasn′t all the things I tried to make believe I was And I wouldn′t be the one to kneel Before the dreams I wanted And all the talk and all the lies Were all the empty things disguised as me Yeah stranger than your sympathy, stranger than your sympathy
And I′d give up forever to touch you Cuz I know that you feel me somehow You′re the closest to heaven that I′ll ever be And I don′t want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life Cuz sooner or later it′s over I just don′t want to miss you tonight
And I don′t want the world to see me Cuz I don′t think that they′d understand When everything′s made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
And you can′t fight the tears that ain′t coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah, you′d bleed just to know you′re alive
And I don′t want the world to see me Cuz I don′t think that they′d understand When everything′s made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
And I don′t want the world to see me Cuz I don′t think that they′d understand When everything′s made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
And I don′t want the world to see me Cuz I don′t think that they′d understand When everything′s made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am

Lately I′ve been thinking that I don′t feel like I used to do, I′m trying to keep my two feet on the ground. Constantly surrounded, everywhere I turn I′m hounded, People stop and stare and look me up and down.
Now you shouldn′t feel down from what everybody says, And don′t let it bother you if anybody stares. ′Cause you know that at times, people can be cruel. Try to put you down, make you feel like a fool. But you got one shot, now don′t you ever stop. Keep your dreams high, keep reaching for the top. ′Cause you know and I know if they had the chance, They′d be climbin′ up on the stage, tryin′ to dance.
CHORUS C′mon c′mon and get together. Let′s take a chance, it′s now or never. Spread the word over the nation, That we are the new generation. C′mon c′mon and get together, Start livin′ your life like it′s forever. Don′t wanna stop if you′re dreamin′, Let everyone know what you′re feelin′.
Questions I can′t answer got me going round in circles, Make me feel as if I′m losing self control. It′s feeling like a dream to me, I′ve lost a touch of reality While deep inside I′ve searched with my soul.
Now it′s good to keep searching and bettering yourself, But don′t push too hard ′cause it′s bad for your health. And running round in circles will always get you dizzy, And thinking too much, that will make your head busy. So just sit back and relax, you gotta chill. I promise that all of your dreams will be fulfilled. One day if you keep on looking you′ll find, You just gotta go with your heart and your mind.
Five bad boys with the power to rock you Blowing your mind so you gotta get into Five what you waiting Four if you wanna get Three three Two two One Let′s do it

I have a question in mind One I don′t understand And that′s when love makes me crazy It seems the harder I try Find I′m alone again Holding my head in my hands When all I really wanted Someone to hear me calling And set this heart of mine free
Chorus: In every beat Beat of my heart You′re everything I need In every breath I breathe Thoughts of you In every beat Strong in my arms I′ll hold
When all my dreams are shattered Deep in my heart is all that matters Deep in my heart is where I′ll keep all my love for you
There are times where I feel I finally found someone That I could trust and believe in But when I open my eyes Must be to blind to see that I′m a fool once again
I′m tired of broken hearted What a mess I′ve gotten
(Chorus)
When all my dreams are shattered Deep in my heart is all that matters Deep in my heart is where ill keep all my love for you
