Song Lyrics

[arno_v]

Nofx - Franco Un-American

I never thought about the universe, it made me feel small
Never thought about the problems of this planet at all
Global warming, radio-active sites
Imperialistic wrongs and animal rights! No!

Why think of all the bad things when life is so good?
Why help with an 'am' when there's always a 'could'?
Let the whales worry about the poisons in the sea
Outside of California, it's foreign policy

I don't want changes, I have no reactions
Your dilemmas are my distractions

That's no way to go, Franco Un-American
No way to go, Franco Un-American
No way to go, Franco Un-American
No way to go, Franco, Franco Un-American

I never looked around, never second-guessed
Then I read some Howard Zinn now I'm always depressed
And now I can't sleep from years of apathy
All because I read a little Noam Chomsky

I'm eating vegetation, 'cause of fast food nation
I'm wearing a couple of shoes 'cause of globalization
I'm watching Michael Moore expose the awful truth
I'm listening to Public Enemy and Reagan Youth

I see no world peace 'cause of zealous armed forces
I eat no breath-mints 'cause their from de-hoofed horses
Now I can't believe; what an absolute failure
The president's laughing 'cause we voted for Nader

That's no way to go, Franco Un-American
No way to go, Franco Un-American
No way to go, Franco Un-American
Where can we go, Franco Un-American

I want to move north and be a Canadian
Or hang down low with the nice Australians
I don't want to be another 'I-don't-care-ican'
What are we gonna do Franco, Franco Un-American

Take the Black - HammerFall

The moon is full you can not see
There's something in the air
Sound asleep you're into deep
Protecting your own lair

The lion roar into the night
Yet another foe to slay
Who are you that I see right through
The hunter or the pray?

Too late to hear the final warning
No one can defy the reaper
Voices - Twisted
Calling out your name
Voices - Twisted
Calling for you

Ain't no reason for the rhyme
Take the Black - Ready to attack
Take the Black
Face to face you bide your time
Take the Black - Ready to attack
Take the Black

You though you had it all in there
In your little bag of tricks
Insanity won't set you free
As you cross the river Styx

You're out of time your bridges burn
In the undying flame
We'll nail you down to the ground
For you to bear the shame

Too late to hear the final warning
No one can defy the reaper
Voices - Twisted
Calling out your name
Voices - Twisted
Calling for you

Ain't no reason for the rhyme
Take the Black - Ready to attack
Take the Black
Face to face you bide your time
Take the Black - Ready to attack

Voices - Twisted
Calling out your name
Voices - Twisted
Calling for you

Ain't no reason for the rhyme
Take the Black - Ready to attack
Take the Black
Face to face you bide your time
Take the Black - Ready to attack

Ain't no reason for the rhyme
Take the Black - Ready to attack
Take the Black
Face to face you bide your time
Take the Black - Ready to attack

Intro]
Heads up! Heads up!
Here's another one!
And a - and another one
OOHHHHHHHH!!!

[Chorus]
Yeek yeek woop woop!! why you all in my ear?!

Get back muh****er! You don't know me like that!
(Get back muh****er!! You don't know me like that!!)
Yeek yeek woop woop!! I ain't playing around!
Make one false move I'll take ya down
Get back muh****er! You don't know me like that!
(Get back muh****er!! You don't know me like that!!)

[Verse]
WHOO!! S-s-so c'mon c'mon
DON'T ... get swung on, swung on
It's the knick knack paddywhack, still ride in Cadillacs
Family off the street! made my homies put the baggies back
Still stacking plaques! (yep!) still action packed! (yep!)
And dough!! I keep it flipping like acrobats!
That's why I pack a mac, that'll crack 'em back
Cause on my waist there's more Heat than the Shaq Attack
But I ain't speaking about ballin, ballin
Just thinking about brawlin till y'all start bawlin
We all in together now, birds of a feather now
Just bought a plane so we changing the weather now
So put your brakes on, caps put your capes on
Or knock off your block, get dropped and have your face flown
Cause I'll prove it! scratch off the music!
Like hey little stupid! don't make me lose it!!

[Chorus]

[Bridge - repeat 4x]
I came (I came) I saw (I saw)
I hit 'em right dead in the jaw (in the jaw)

[Verse]
See I caught 'em wit a right hook, caught 'em wit a jab
Caught 'em wit an uppercut, kicked 'em in his ass
Sent him on his way cause I ain't for that talk!
No trips to the county, I ain't for that walk!
We split like two pins at the end of a lane
We'll knock out your spotlight and put an end to your vain
Put a DTP pendant at the end of yo chain
Then put the booty of a Swisha at the end of a flame

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
HEY! You want what wit me?!
I'm a tell you one time, don't **** wit me!
GET DOWN! Cause I ain't got nothing to lose
I'm having a bad day, don't make me take it out on you!
You want what wit me?!
I'm a tell you one time, don't **** wit me!
GET DOWN! Cause I ain't got nothing to lose
And I'm having a bad day, don't make me take it out on you!

[Verse]
Man! Cause I don't wanna do that
I want to have a good time and enjoy my Jack
Sit back and watch the women get drunk as hell
So I can wake up in the morning wit a story to tell
I know it's been a lil while since I been out the house!
But now I'm here, you wanna stand around
running your mouth?!
I can't hear nothing you saying or spitting, so wassup!
Can't you see we in the club?! Man shut the **** up!!

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Ah! We in the Red Light District!!
Ah! We in the Red Light District!!
WHOO!! We in the Red Light District!!
Ah! We in the Red Light District!!
WHOO!! We in the Red Light District!!
WHOO!! The Red Light District!!
WHOO!! The Red Light District!!
Ah, we in The Red Light District

The Offspring - Have You Ever?

Falling, I'm falling!
Falling, I'm falling!

Have you ever walked through a room,
when it was more like the room passed around you?
Like there was a leash around your neck that pulled you through?

Have you ever been at some place,
recognizing everybody's face?
Until you realized that there was no one there you knew?
Well I know!

Some days, my soul's confined and out of mind;
Sleep forever!
I know!
Some days, I'm so outshined and out of time;
Have you ever!

Falling, I'm falling!
Falling, I'm falling!

Have you ever buried your face in your hands?
'Cause no one around you understands,
or has the slightest idea what it is that makes you be?

Have you ever felt like there was more?
Like someone else was keeping score,
and what could make you whole was simply out of reach?
Well I know!

Someday I'll try again and not pretend,
this time forever!
Someday I'll get it straight but not today!
Have you ever?

Falling, I'm falling
Falling, I'm falling

Some days, my soul's confined and out of mind
Sleep forever.
Some days, my darkest friend is me again;
Have you ever?
Someday I'll try again and not pretend -
This time forever
Someday I'll get it straight but not today,
Have you ever?

[Magrus]

I love this song, haven't heard it in ages and just found it again.

"Sex And Candy" by Marcy Playground

Hangin' round downtown
By myself
And I had so much time
To sit and think
About myself
And then there she was
Like double cherry pie
Yeah there she was
Like disco superfly
I smell sex and
Candy here
Who's that lounging
In my chair
Who's that casting
Devious stares
In my direction
Mama this surely
Is a dream

Hangin' 'round downtown by myself
And I had too
Much caffeine
And I was thinkin'
'bout myself
And then there she was
In platform double suede
Yeah there she was
Like disco lemonade
I smell sex and
Candy here
Who's that lounging
In my chair
Who's that casting
Devious stares
In my direction
Mama this surely
Is a dream
Mama this surely
Is a dream
Yeah mama this must
Be my dream

[QUOTE=Yshania]I have posted these lyrics before, it still remains one of my more mellow favourites

From a Distance (the Nanci Griffiths version)

From a distance the world looks blue and grey and the snow capped mountains white,
And from a distance the ocean meets the stream, and the eagle takes to flight.

From a distance there is harmony and it echoes through the land,
and it's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace, it's the voice of every man.

From a distance we all have enough, and no-one is in need,
and there are no guns, no bombs, no disease - there's no hungry mouths to feed.

From a distance we are instruments, and we're marching in a common band, playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace, they're the songs of every man.

God is watching us, God is watching us, God is watching us - from a distance...

From a distance you look like my friend, even though we are at war,
from a distance I can't comprehend what all this war is for,
and from a distance there is harmony, and it echoes through the land,and it's hope of hopes, it's the love of loves, it's the heart of every man....it is the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves, this is the song of every man. [/QUOTE]


If anyone is interested, that song can be sung to the tune of "Rudolph the Red Nosed Raindeer". I was just reading a few lines of everyones posts and noticed it

Don't say I miss the obvious!

[chemicalNova]

Chem, take this as a "reminder."

Best song around.

How We Do - The Game feat. 50 Cent.
The End..

chem

@chem: I deleted the whole lyrics because of the considerable amount of profanity. You attempted to avoid the filter which is also against the forum rules, particularly rule no.7 of the SYM Forum Rules.

7) Again, please refrain from swearing, trying to avoid the filter i.e. “!” for “i” etc. won’t be tolerated. The only exception to this is a genuine word such as the film director Alfred Hitchc0ck, etc.

To make things more acceptable, I would suggest doing this:

>expletive deleted<

instead of the ******, which the forum filter does automatically.

That way, there is the implicit understanding that you yourself tried to sincerely edit the text. Otherwise, just don't even post the texts.

Thanks.

Wow

[Macleod1701]

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trust in who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened my self this way
Life is ours lets do it our way
All these words I can't just say
And nothing else matters

[Brynn]

So now we're guessing what that was?

[Grimar]

it was metallica: Nothing else matters, as i think you saw...
but a verse and the chorus is missing

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know(last chorus)

[Magrus]

Two songs off the new A Perfect Circle album. A part of me mourns the loss of the dark, jaded, and angry side of Maynard, but I like this album just as much as Tool's first for completely different reasons.

[INDENT]"Freedom Of Choice" by APC

We're victims of sedition on the open sea.
No one ever said life was free.
Sink, swim, go down with the ship.
Just use your freedom of choice.

I'll say it again in the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice, freedom of choice.

In ancient Rome
there was a pawn
who followed along
and watched it fall
he cast a stone
he felt secure
he felt that he would never be heard.

Freedom of choice
it's what you've got
Freedom of choice

You're given a voice
you don't want it
seems to be the rule of thumb
don't be tricked by waht you see
you've got two ways to go

I'll say it again in the land of the free:
Use your freedom of choice, freedom of choice.

Freedom of choice
it's what you've got
Freedom of choice...

In ancient Rome
there was a pawn
who followed along
and watched it fall
he cast a stone
he felt secure
he felt that his voice would never be heard.

Freedom of choice
it's what you've got
Freedom from choice
it's what you want.

Freedom of choice -
it's what you've got.
Freedom from choice.
It's what you want.

Freedom from choice
It's what you want.
Freedom from choice.
[/INDENT]


And....he still has his wonderful sarcasm I love.

[INDENT]"Let's Have A War" by APC

There's so many opposites,
So many opposites,
So many, there's so many, there's so many

Let's have a war,
So you can go and die,
Let's have a war,
We could all use the money,
Let's have a war,
We need the space,
Let's have a war,
Clean out this place

It already started in the city,
Suburbia will be just as easy

Let's have a war,
Jack up the Dow Jones,
Let's have a war,
It can start in New Jersey,
Let's have a war,
Blame it on the middle-class,
Let's have a war,
We're like rats in a cage

It already started in the city,
Suburbia will be just as easy

Let's have a war,
Sell the rights to the networks,
Let's have a war,
Let our wallets get fat like last time,
Let's have a war,
Give guns to the queers,
Let's have a war,
The enemy's within

It already started in the city,
Suburbia will be just as easy[/INDENT]

Another Millencolin lyrics...

THE BALLAD
The last selection in the ballgame.
Does never get a pass. Not appreciated's just his first name.
He's the scapegoat of the class.
There are no friends to cheer him up and no girls, no sweet romance.
It's impossible to expand, when you never get a second chance.

Do you know, who's that guy, who's all alone?
Do you care enough to see? He's in pain and misery.

He's not going to the school-prom. He said he had the flu.
Trumped-up excuses as he told mom.
- I'm safer here with you.
She told her son.
- Someday, they'll all be sorry for mistreating you.
Don't be afraid my son and trust me,
-You'll be someone they will look up to.

Do you know, who's that guy, who's all alone?
Do you care enough to see? He's in pain and misery...
Do you care to see?

Do you know, who's that guy, who's all alone?
Do you care enough to see? He's in pain and misery.

[Luis Antonio]

I'm in the mood for posting songs today:

Pulse Ultra - BUILD YOUR CAGES

Build your cages, pray for freedom
Believe all your made up sages
Sucked out from your social circle
Is it worth the fifteen minutes?
Sacrifice everything you know you love
The dream entices you to give yourself away
Sacrifice everything you know you love
You miss the things you hated long ago
Embelish your desired state
Do you think it satiates?
Sucked out from your social circle
Is it worth the fifteen minutes?
Dreams are seldom what they seem...
Dreams are seldom what they seem...
Sacrifice everything you know you love
The dream entices you to give yourself away
Sacrifice everything you know you love
You miss the things you hated long ago
You're so close...
To nothing
Dreams are seldom what they seem...
Dreams are seldom what they seem...

Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight, tonight

Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
Believe, believe in me, believe
That life can change, that you're not stuck in vain
We're not the same, we're different tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
And you know you're never sure
But your sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born
Believe, believe in me, believe
In the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there's not a chance tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
We'll crucify the insincere tonight
We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight
We'll find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight

[Darth Zenemij]

Sober-TOOL

There's a shadow just behind me
Shrouding evry step I take
Making evry promise empty
Pointing evry finger at me.
Waiting like a stalking Butler
who upon the finger rest's
Murder now the path had must we
Just beacuse the sun has come.
Jesus won't you ******* wistle
something but the past and done?!!
Husus won't you ******* wistle
something but the past and done?!!
why can't we not be sober?
Just want to start this over
Why can't we drink forever?
Just wnat to start this over.
I am just a worthless liar,
I am just an imbisile.
I will only complacate you,
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you,
I will chew it up and leave.
I will work to elevate you,
Just enough to break you down.
Mother mary won't you wisper?!!
Something but the past and done.
Mother Mary won't you wisper?!!
Something but the past and done.
Why can't we not be sober?
Just want to start this over.
Why van't we sleep forever?
Just want to start this over.
I am just a worthless liar,
I am just an imbisile.
I will only complacate you,
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you,
I will chew it up and leave.
Trust me, Trust me, Trust me, Trust me, Trust me.
Why can't we not be sober?
Just want to start things over.
Why can't we sleep forever.
I just want to start this over.
I wiiiiil.
I want,what I want.
I want what I want.
I want what I want.
I want what I want

I figured some good old Iron Maiden would fit right in here

22 Acacia Avenue

If you're feeling down depressed and lonely
I know a place where we can go
22 Acacia Avenue meet a lady that I know
So if you're looking for a good time
And you're prepared to pay the price
Fifteen quid is all she asks for
Everybody's got their vice

If you're waiting for a long time for the rest to do their piece
You can tell her that you know me and you might even get it free
So any time you're down the East End don't you hesitate to go
You can take my honest word for it she'll teach you more than you can know

Charlotte can't you get out from all of this madness
Can't you see it only brings you sadness
When you entertain your men don't you know the risk of getting disease

Some day when you're reaching the age of forty
I bet you'll regret the days when you were laying
Nobody then will want to know
You won't have any beautiful wares to show any more

22 the avenue that's the place where we all go
You will find it's warm inside the red light's burning bright tonight

Charlotte isn't it time you stopped this mad life
Don't you ever think about the bad times
Why do you have to live this way
Do you enjoy your lay or is it the pay

Sometimes when you're strolling down the avenue
The way you walk it makes men think of having you
When you're walking down the street
Everybody stops and turns to stare at you

22 the avenue that's the place where we all go
You will find it's warm inside the red light's burning bright tonight

Beat her mistreat her do anything that you please
Bite her excite her make her get down on her knees
Abuse her misuse her she can take all that you've got
Caress her molest her she always doest what you want

You're running away don't you know what you're doing
Can't you see it'll lead you to ruin
Charlotte you've taken your life and you've thrown it away
You believe that because what you're earning
Your life's good don't you know that you're hurting
All the people that love you don't cast them aside
All the men that are constantly drooling
It's no life for you stop all that screwing
You're packing your bags and you're coming with me

To be honest, I don't know if I have to edit this song or not. If I have to, just let me know

Echoes & Echoes 2-Pink Floyd

Echoes 1
Overhead the albatross hangs motionless above the air.
And deap benethe the rolling waves
in labirynths of coral caves,
The echo of a distance time comes whillowing across the sand.
And evrything is green and submarine.
And no one called us to this land and no one knnows the where's or why's
Something stirs and something tries, Starts to climb twards the light.
Strangers passing in the street by chance two seperate glances meet.
And I am you and what I see is me.
And do I take you by the hand?
And lead you through the land?
To help me understand the best I can,
And no one called us to this land
And no one crosses there all right.
No one speaks and no one tries.
But no one flies across the sun...



Echoes 2
Almost evry day you fall upon my waking eyes,
Inciting and Inviting me to rise.
And through the window on the wall,
Come streaming in on sunlight wings;
A million bright embassadors of Morning.
And no one singss me lullybyes
And no one makes me close my eyes.
So I throw the windows wide;
And call to you across the sky.
