Trip the wires down around my feet
Setting fires up and down the street
Calling shotgun with no one at the wheel
Hiding from the boogie man because I broke the deal

Hang man is coming and he's killing on command
Can't hide away. It's too late to pray
Don't burn the devil when you're feeding from his hand
From his hand

Don't need someone to save me
I'll be there come hell or high water
Can't break the will he gave me
Come the hell or high-yi
Don't need someone to save m¿
I'll be there com¿ hell or high water
Can't break the will he gave me
Come the hell or high-yi-yo
Face the demons that turn against your soul
Junkie heathens swallowing you whole
Pulling stitches from wounds that never bled
Running from the maniac that lives inside your head

The day is dying and the sky is caving in
Can't turn your back or fade to black
The preacher's crying and he's burning for his sins
For his sins

Don't need someone to save me
I'll be there come hell or high water
Can't break the will he gave me
Come the hell or high-yi
Don't need someone to save me
I'll be there come hell or high water
Can't break the will he gave me
Come the hell or high-yi-yo

We look inside to see our battle scars
As we hide from who we really are
Swim against the river underneath the tide
We're all just floating bodies filling up inside

The day is dying and the sky is caving in
Can't turn your back or fade to black
Don't burn the devil when you're feeding from his hand
From his hand

Don't need someone to save me
I'll be there come hell or high water
Can't break the will he gave me
Come the hell or high-yi
Don't need someone to save me
I'll be there come hell or high water
Can't break the will he gave me
Come the hell or high-yi-yo

Don't need someone to save me
I'll be there come hell or high water
Can't break the will he gave me
Come the hell or high-yi
Don't need someone to save me
I'll be there come hell or high water
Can't break the will he gave me
Come the hell or high-yi-yo
				

[Intro]
Yeah, go!

[Verse 1]
I'm burning down the city and I'm getting with the gang
(Burning down the city 'cause I'm getting with the gang)
Street fight, car crash, starting with a, a bang
(Street fight, car¿crash¿starting¿with a bang)
Working¿up the money¿'cause someone's getting busted
Tricky little Vicky was the only girl he trusted
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Looks like we're walking 'cause the car got jacked
"Don't worry about it 'cause we got your back," he said

[Chorus]
Alright, alright
The gang's all here, the gang's all here
Alright, alright
The gang's all here, the gang's all here tonight

[Verse 2]
Got a bloodshot sun is rising, jumping in the fire
(Bloodshot sun is rising, jumping in th¿ fire)
I'm falling out, shutting down, preaching to the choir
(Falling out, shutting down, pr¿aching to the choir)
Donny's drinking nitro, hanging from the ceiling
Everybody's dizzy and they're losing all the feeling
That's right

[Pre-Chorus 2]
They started yelling from behind the door
The punches started when they hit the floor

[Chorus]
Alright, alright
The gang's all here, the gang's all here
Alright, alright
The gang's all here, the gang's all here
Alright, alright
The gang's all here, the gang's all here
Alright, alright
The gang's all here, the gang's all here

[Bridge]
Nobody's waiting for the wolves to come home

[Chorus]
Alright, alright
The gang's all here, the gang's all here
Alright, alright
The gang's all here, the gang's all here
Alright (Let's go), alright
The gang's all here, the gang's all here
Alright, alright
The gang's all here, all the gangs are here tonight

[Outro]
(Whoa, oh, oh) Tonight
(Whoa, oh, oh) Oh, we were here tonight
(Whoa, oh, oh) At tonight
(Whoa, oh, oh) The gangs are here tonight
				

Count down to the minute
Time keeps tickin' away
Born to lose and dying to win
Is not the way I play

Get the high that you're lookin for
While the world goes straight to hell
Die young is what they're sayin'
But it's too soon to tell

Not dead yet
Don't throw dirt on an open casket
Something that I said
You've written me off, but I know I'm not dead yet
Some pray for the sinners
Something's going 'round
I'll fight or go down swingin' before
They stick me in the ground

Get the high that you're going after
While the world goes straight to hell
Live fast is what I'm hearin'
But it's too soon to tell

Not dead yet
Don't throw dirt on an open casket
Something that I said
Ready to go. Ready but not dead yet
Not dead yet
Don't throw dirt on an open casket
Something that I said
You've written me off, but I know I'm not dead yet

Go

Get the high that you're going after
While the world goes straight to hell
Live fast is what they're sayin'
But it's too soon to tell

Not dead yet
Don't throw dirt on an open casket
Something that I said
Ready to go. Ready but not dead yet
Not dead yet
Don't throw dirt on an open casket
Something that I said
You've written me off, but I know I'm not dead yet

But you sure give it a good try
				

Tick, tick, tick, tick
Tick, tick, tick
Tick, tick, tick, tick
Tick, tick, tick

Sitting in the dark
Waiting for the start
The start of something new

Running into walls
Holding every breath
In spite of turning blue
No telling how much longer I will feel this way

I'm a ticking timebomb
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Boom!
I'm a ticking timebomb
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Boom!

Tick, tick, tick, tick
Tick, tick, tick
Tick, tick, tick, tick
Tick, tick, tick

Crushed beneath myself
In search of what I know
Of what I know is true

Scratching through my skin
Biting off my nails
Breaking bones in two

Try to defuse myself before I blow away

I'm a ticking timebomb
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Boom!
I'm a ticking timebomb
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Boom!

I'm a ticking timebomb
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Boom!
I'm a ticking timebomb
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Boom!

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Boom!

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
Boom!
				

[Verse 1]
Yeah, brothers and sisters, listen to me say
The world's on fire but not the end¿of¿days
It's not religion,¿I'm not the voodoo child
Don't bless¿my heart or curse my soul
Just lead me to the wild
The judge and jury in suits and power ties
Stone cold and living out their lies

[Chorus]
We're not playing dead
That's all in their head
Now's the time to see
We're resurrected
No one can bring us down
Or push us underground
We're back where we should be
We're resurrected, yeah
Oh
[Verse 2]
Got to remember to look them in the eye
And watch their smile crack as they bleed the system dry
Drunk with power without a soul to save
I know that you know that we know what they know
Crossing fingers that I fall on my face
But they're still jumping in my grave

[Chorus]
We're not playing dead
That's all in their head
Now's the time to see
We're resurrected
No one can bring us down
Or push us underground
We're back where we should be
We're resurrected
We are resurrected

[Bridge]
We're resurrected, resurrected, resurrected
We are resurrected

[Chorus]
We're not playing dead
That's all in their head
Now's the time to see
We're resurrected
No one can bring us down
Or push us underground
We're back where we should be
We're resurrected
We're not playing dead
That's all in their head
Now's the time to see
We're resurrected
No one can bring us down
Or push us underground
We're back where we should be
We're resurrected
We are resurrected, yeah
				

[Verse 1]
In between the hatred and the vow (And the vow)
Is the dead end that we're at right now (At right now)
Love lies dying from the words we heard
Are we damned if I won't save the world?

[Chorus]
Standing at the speed of sound
We're going under
Can't slow down so I have to crash
We're going nowhere fast
We're going nowhere fast
Going nowhere
[Verse 2]
Are we lost? How did we end up here? (End up here)
Crushed beneath the weight of what we fear (What we fear)
Shake a broken bottle while you scream until it hurts
Treading muddied water and you're living in reverse
Paint another picture that only you can see
Then light 'em all on fire to set your demons free

[Chorus]
Standing at the speed of sound
We're going under
Can't slow down so I have to crash
We're going nowhere fast
We're going nowhere fast
Going nowhere

[Chorus]
Standing at the speed of sound
We're going under
Can't slow down so I have to crash
We're going nowhere fast
We're going nowhere fast
We're going nowhere, no
				

I'll meet you at the park at 11 and don¿t be late
You're in the right direction if you follow the lights down Broadway

Pass a gorilla while hes beating his chest
His girlfriend¿has¿a¿voodoo doll pinned¿to her vest
Don't¿worry ¿bout 'em 'cause they're not gonna bother you. No
No
Don't be scared of the living dead
They never heard a single word I said

Does anybody know
Where we're gonna go
When the lights come on?
When the lights come on?
Does anybody know
Where we're gonna go
When the lights come on?
Tommy's at the bar and he¿s holding us a place
The corner Cleopatra has been giving me the look of deep disgrace

She¿s wearing Friday like her Sunday best
With some fat cat that she's laying to rest
You see her coming then you know we gotta hit the road

The city¿s sleeping on the village side
It ain't the same since Jimmy died

Does anybody know
Where we're gonna go
When the lights come on?
When the lights come on?
Does anybody know
Where we're gonna go
When the lights come on?

I¿m barking at the moon
I'll be home, but it won't be soon
No!

Scary uncle Larry's got a 40 of propane
He's taking target practice in the corner on the downtown train

We jumped the gates and we ran outta sight
I'm in a taxi, but I'm caught at the light
I hope it's cool that I'm bringing a friend or two

I left my keys at the living end
Looks like I'm crashing at a stranger's again

Does anybody know
Where we're gonna go
When the lights come on?
When the lights come on?
Does anybody know
Where we're gonna go
When the lights come on?

Does anybody know
Where we're gonna go
When the lights come on?
When the lights come on?
Whoa, does anybody know
Where we're gonna go
When the lights come on?
				

A stranger's knocking
Leave me alone
Mindless persistence
Has cut me to the bone
Turned on the devil vision
It took away my breath
But I won't let it sell me
That I was "scared to death"

I'm not a robot
I'm not a clone
You build the rocket
I'll drive it home
My eyes are bleeding
Can't kill the sound
So, move the mountain
Gonna take it, gonna break it, gonna...
Tear it down
No wall's too big for me
Right now
I want my friends to see
Tear it down
All my brothers just hear me now
No motherfucker's gonna tell us how
Tear it down
No wall's too big for me
Right now
I want the world to see
There's no time for waiting around
Tear it down
Oh, tear it down

Listen
Big brother's watching
He's everywhere
But does he realize
The revolution's in the air
Are you still with me?
Are you alive?
Let's take this down stone by stone
And break it up before we die

I'm not a robot
I'm not a clone
You build the rocket
I'll drive it home
My eyes are bleeding
Can't kill the sound
So, move the mountain
Gonna take it, gonna break it, gonna...

Tear it down
No wall's too big for me
Right now
I want my friends to see
Tear it down
All my brothers just hear me now
No motherfucker's gonna tell us how
Tear it down
No wall's too big for me
Right now
I want the world to see
There's no time for waiting around
Tear it down

Tear it down
No wall's too big for me
Right now
I want my friends to see
Tear it down
All my brothers just hear me now
No motherfucker's gonna tell us how
Tear it down
No wall's too big for me
Right now
I want the world to see
There's no time for waiting around
There's no time for waiting around
Tear it down
No wall's too big for me
I want my friends to see
All my brothers just hear me now
No motherfucker's gonna tell us how
Tear it down
No wall's too big for me
Tear it down
I want the world to see, yeah
All my brothers just hear me now
No motherfucker's gonna tell us how
Tear it down
Tear it down

Tear it down
				

Mother step to the light that's before you
Mother change in the seasons I see

Winter's on the rise
Autumn still in my eyes
Reborn as daylight dies
The night of the longest goodbyes
New life is passing us by

How do we get down the mountain we climb day-by-day?
What do we do when the light that we shine fades away, fades away?
Father saving our places in time
Passing into the sublime
Oh oh father

Life has gone to sleep
Strength through your memory
Silent and so serene
I'm scared of what cannot be seen
But I'll see you again in-between

How do we get down the mountain we climb day-by-day?
What do we do when the light that we shine fades away?
We leave the prayers and confessions behind day-by-day
Waiting on fate to bring something divine and be saved, and be saved

How do we get down the mountains we climb day-by-day?
What do we do when the light that we shine fades away?
We leave the prayers and confessions behind day-by-day
Waiting on fate to bring something divine and be saved, and be saved

Day-by-day you get by
Day-by-day you get by
Day-by-day you get by
Day-by-day you get by
				

Times they have changed into stories forgotten
Footprints we leave become nothing but lost
Radio silence should¿be¿words to live¿by
Yet we get caught in the¿signals we cross

Is this the world that we live in?
Why do we poison the air?
Let's see the way to tomorrow
Instead of all stopping to stare

World on fire
World on fire
Turning away is just watching it burn
World on fire
World on fire
Turning away is like watching it burn
Challenge the truth as we're telling our story
Lines drawn in battle ar¿ faded and worn
Before th¿ storm moves in
Before the wars begin
We need to lay down our arms

Is this the world that we live in?
What happens after the fall?
Let's see the way to tomorrow
Instead of us losing it all

World on fire
World on fire
Turning away is just watching it burn
World on fire
World on fire
Turning away is like watching it burn

World on fire
World on fire
Turning away is just watching it burn
World on fire
World on fire
Turning away is like watching it burn
Watch it burn

World on fire
World on fire
Turning away is just watching it burn
