Lyrics - Paroles de chansons

I saw it on a cereal box,
Said it costs just three mere bucks.
I shipped it off with seven tops, and waited by the mail.
In seven weeks it finally came,
I ripped the box without no shame,
I turned it on, it fell apart
But that was just the start.

I know the time is right, won't let the chance go by.
I'll give it one more try before I send, before I send it back.

I met her at an Eastown bar, I knew it wouldn't go real far.
I called her up, we had a date, another after that.
Then there was a sudden change, the silly girl forgot my name,
I knew it was just all her game but it could not be the same

Looking back,
From where I came
At a choice I made
That was one big mistake
Cause in the crowd
I tried to hide
Couldn't keep the pace
So I had to break the stride

Can't punch the clock
Can't walk the walk
Abhor the rut
And never stop
Your life is not for me

Every step
That I tried to take
Was a step behind
Lost in the wake
And every truth
It became a lie
One question asked
That question is "why?'

I'm giving up but I'm not giving in
I'll make the stand
Not to stand in line.

If I could
You know I would
And I probably should

Since the first day that I met you
Wanted to speak my mind, at least, you know I meant to.
Good intentions, getting me nowhere
Somehow got to find my way to tell you now...
You don't know how much you mean to me
And my life can't be the same
But my hesitancy stands ten stories tall
I've got to find a way, to tell you now...
Someday... right now... someday...

No use fighting, what I'm thinking
Sometimes saying nothing's, worse that lying
Gotta swallow, (my) reservations
Now's the time to spit out every word I say...
Someday... right now...

Don't know what you see
When you look at me girl
It's not plain to see
That's what frightens me now
'Cause I know, what I show
Might not be what I know
Yeah I been, beaten down
But you changed that for me
You'll never know how low I was before
'Cause I've been changed since you walked through my door

You can be my everything girl
You can be my reason why
Now you've changed up everything girl
Now I know the reason why I try

Girl you've blown my mind
I don't recognize me
Looking back at time
No longer dead inside me
Yeah I know, what I show,
Isn't what I'm thinking
So I'll say, to you now
While I got you listening

When I see you
And I know you don't see me
I try to imagine how it must be now
To walk this world alone
To walk this world alone
To carry on and do it on your own

With everybody working and everybody trying
With your hands in the air while their lying
Everybody's doing their best and realizing
As we watch we see you falling further
The world's in custody for your murder
Is there any hope for you
Is there anything we can do

I look to see
If the world's catching up to me
Would someone give me something to help me to believe
That you won't be left alone
That you won't be left alone
To carry on and do it on your own

You're making moves
You're making plans
Progress is in you hands
It's not your fault that nobody understands
The pains you feel
They are for real
They slow you down
And re-appear
Just as soon as you
Walk away from here

I had a bad day so I said to myself
I wanna have fun, gunna raise some hell
Gunna show this world my time has come
Gunna go and blow up everyone
So I went to the store and bought me some gas
Poured it into my old man's flask
Called all my friends to join along
And now...
I wanna throw a bomb
Gunna throw a bomb tonight

Second day was as bad as the first
I thought it'd get better, it only got worse
Had a flat tire, was late to work
Then I got fired 'cause me boss, he's a jerk!
So I called up my girl she gave me the boot
I ain't got no money or a bite of food
Can't take no more
Gunna blow up the town
Yeah I...
I wanna throw a bomb

Militia, Freemen, IRA
Feminists, Panthers, Radical gays
Zapitistas down by Mexico way
Right to lifers have your say
Shiites, contras, break away
Anarchist punks in the USA
Once you start you're here to stay
So come on everybody, Lets bomb today
(Mustard Plug does not endorse the use of explosives...
In the immortal words of Froghorn Leghorn,
"it's a joke son")

Lolita,
I wanna meet ya
I wanna take you in my arms and squeeze ya,
'Cause you amaze me,
Ya really slay me
And every touch just drives me crazy.
But the man says that our love ain't real,
And the world won't accept the way I feel.
If only our love, they could only see,
But today our love can never be.

Every time that we're together
I get the feeling that it's never been better
Your love just blows me away.
Tell me that you're thinkin' of me
And that you put no one else above me,
I need ya baby right now!

Lolita,
Since I met ya,
Girl you know I could never forget ya.
And I know now,
I'm making my vow,
That we're gunna be together some day

I think there's something, you should know
Time to hit the road, find the door, yeah ya gotta go
Cuz I been down this road now a million times
I've heard every one of your bullshit lines
If ya think I'm gunna listen just one more time
You got a problem now!

For all I've said
And all I've done
You'll never be
No you'll never be the one

You've come back, said ya mend't your ways
Your dimestore smile don't hide what you betray
I know you ain't no friend of mine
You better find a sucker further down the line
I seen the light and the truth is mine
Ya ain't welcome here

The other day,
walking home,
in my sight,
caught the hate,
turn away,
Can't deny
Written on the wall.
And I thought
to myself
what could change
how'd it start
who are they
how can I
make 'em take a fall

So far to go
Barely made a dent
Won't turn around
Not going back again

Every day
Money flows
Status Quo
Cities die
While they thrive
Zero Sum
Just the way it goes
Now's the time
You & I
Gotta try
to unite
Every side
Gotta fight
Gotta turn the flow
Must reach down
Inside myself,
And find your hate
And cast it out

Girl since the day your eyes met mine,
I knew it from the start
You were going to steal my heart
Then, a world of doubt led you astray
Into his arms you went to lay
And through me tears I looked away

So I'll wait and I'll pray
Til the day that you say that you will be mine
Yes I'll wait and I'll pray
'Til the day that you say that you will be mine

Girl, its time we got real,
I'd be a fool to conceal
The world of love you make me feel
I know
I know our time will come (x 2)

I know you're happy when you smile
I know it's taken me awhile
I know I'm going out of style
10,000 miles from you
But everything is still O.K.
'Cause I'm closer everyday
Which is more than I would have to say
If I was next to you
Think of all the times and places
Step across the open spaces, that lead back to you

And you know that I won't let you go
Sometimes so near and now so far
Retrace the paces that have brought me here
Close my eyes and move along

Thinking, looking, hoping that I'll find a way
You know, that I, can't stop counting all the days
That you're not here to say
You know I miss you more
More than yesterday

I know sometimes that in my past
Lost direction had to ask
I know I wouldn't ever last
Without you
But everything is still O.K.
'Cause I'm closer everyday
Which is more than I would have to say
If I was next to you

Open up your ears my friend
I'll tell you a story that never ends
About the band that plays for you now
It started back in '91
started playin' just for fun
and couldn't stop ourselves, didn't know how
Then we began playing shows
And kids started tapping their toes
and people kept askin' for more
And even though we really sucked
We kept it up, didn't give a fuck
'Cause that's what the music is for

We're gunna take on the world
Common, Every boy, Every girl
We're gunna take on the world
Common, Every boy, Every girl

Then a man from Hollywood
He said to sign, he said we should
But we were to drunk to respond
"You'll be so rich" yeah said the man
"you'll get a bus and leave the van"
but we were too punk to move on
So we went back on the road
And kids kept on coming to shows
We sang, danced, and drank lots of beer
And so it goes, we'll never stop
We tour 'til we reach the top
We'll tour 'til the end of our years...
