This thing called life Gets tougher every day Around every corner There's a riddle in the way When you hit the wall Pick yourself up and say It's alright It's Ok It's Alright Everything's gonna be Ok
when you hear the calling, itís true what they say. There are times When a dog has its day When your sand castle Holds up to the waves Locked doors will open The minute that you say It's alright It's Ok It's Alright Everything's gonna be Ok This thing
called life is a riddle in a way. This thing called life Gets tougher everyday One day you realize You're livin' and you say It's alright, yeah it's great!! |

Just North of Boston, There's a kid who's lost his way and thinkin' There's somewhere out there, a place for me where I belong.Too many faces, of those who want what can't be given He's out the door and heading,
where he gets to sing his song He's Been Lying, To himself He's been trying, To break free Momma's Crying He's Leaving Home. Put all his money, On a magic carpet made of metal Too many days since, he already should have been gone So many
reasons, for turning back to be complacent Foots on the floor and spedding, where he gets to sing his song No more Lying, To himself He is flying, Breaking free Hear him sing out, As he drives off. What you see of him he's not Is he still forgiven?
And he is not what you thought There's a life worth living Now his heart's beating in time Now his song's worth hearing Now his Words and World both Rhyme There is no more fearing Do you see the man he's not? He don't need forgiveness!
And he is not what you want There's a life worth living Heís fed up with giving. Just leaving Boston, There's a kid who's on his way and searching For somewhere out there, a place for him where he belongs His Eldorado, is not so much about the riches
He's on the road and heading, where he gets to sing his song Where he gets to sing his song Where he gets to sing his song. |

Mirrors are reflecting,
what goes on inside my head.
My hands are aching.
from pounding them against my head.
Tears flow on pillows.
Moonlight is my only friend.
Hours drag on forever.
Never a chance to clear my head.
Isn’t life like a broken hourglass,
Blowing sand on the open sea.
The scraps from the lion's share,
Is all that's ever thrown to me.
I look inside for the answers.
Somewhere its there.
What’s left for me?
Why’s it you not me,
who gets to choose how its going to be?
What’s left for me.
Why’s it you not me,
who gets to choose how it's gonna be?
I know what right for me
I know what right for me
I know what right for me |

Money and Power
Isn't it?
Fame and fortune;
Recognition.
A wish in your well.
And your poverty,
It's such a tragedy.
I watch you bleed as you throw
your last coin to me.
Love sick mess
Plagued by loneliness.
I'm wishing you well.
I'm wishing you well
I'm wishing you well
I'll always
Wish you well.
Light a candle.
Say a prayer
Don't you worry.
You'll get there.
I'm wishing you well.
We're all wishing you well.
I hope he hears your pleas
and I hope he fills your needs
And I'm
wishing, wishing you well.

DIST
Hold on to your seat.
Your gonna like this ride believe me.
You wanna take a trip?
Well I’ve got just the trip.
It’s gonna take you away.
How does it feel?
I bet you thought that this was real.
Now that you see.
You’ll be back for me.
Living in a world of illusion
Come and see life my way.
We distribute confusion
Come and try it today
Come on and try it
I've got what you need.
You know your gonna like it.
Take this trip and you’ll be free
Come on and take some
And soon you’ll feel no pain.
Reality is for losers
So take a short vacation in your brain.

Listen to the night.
You can feel the city breathing.
Somewhere out of site.
You can hear the city screaming.
Who knows right from wrong these days.
It’s clear to me that we don’t get along.
The world spins round and round
we’re going down in blood so deep
you know we’re drowning.
As the siren sings its lonely song
Marks another one gone.
Half a million hearts…
Rabid and diseased….
Families torn apart.
Who’s the victim who’s the reason?
Playground guns and kids on drugs
as The city’s crumbling down
to the ground.
The world spins round and round
we’re going down.
In blood so deep you know we’re drowning.
As the siren sings it’s lonely song
Marks another one gone.
It marks another one gone
It marks another one gone
It marks another one gone
There goes another one
There goes another one |

It's Your Life
Hey now look at me,
standing on the edge.
Looking down the throat of fate
one chance is all you get.
Gather round and see what I accomplish next.
I’ll do it one more time if you don’t catch it yeah.
It’s your life
Do not be afraid.
Hey now look around
Grab life by the balls.
No better time to fly
Don’t worry about the fall.
Make life your parade and you will lead the way.
The song you sing is yours so
sing it your own way.
It’s your life
Do not be afraid
Be confident
When you dance your dance.
You can afford to be a little arrogant.
Get all you can out of life my man.
Cause as sure as shit ain’t coming round again.
Now is the time
To make your move
Yesterday’s too late.
It doesn’t mean when the ice is thin
you still gotta skate.
Grab on tight
Hold on for your life.
Time is the animal that we've all got to ride.
Time is the animal that we've all got to ride
Jump in with both your feet
You can’t run and hide.
Do what you will with your life
Do not be afraid.

Shame
Baby,
What's this game game that you play?
Day to day it's a shame your life so low
your love so lame.
Today you love me.
Tomorrow you say your leaving.
You cut my heart in two and
left me here to bleed.
Oh
It's a shame
the way you play with my heart.
Baby,
I bet you didn't even know.
This hearts been broke before now its
made of stone.
These games you play
You just play them on yourself
Now it's time to take your heart
and put it on the shelf.
Yeh.
It's a shame
The way I play with your mind.
Chorus
It's a shame
It's a shame
It's a shame
Solo

There was a time long ago---We dared to chase a dream.
But we were young and didn’t know---Life isn’t always as it seems.
Now times have come and times have gone---Dreams they slipped away.
We’re finding more on the shower floor---What’s left just keeps turning gray.
Too many irons in the fire burning low---Youthful ambition and desire where'd they go?
You don’t get what you want---You’re given what you need.
There must be something more---There must be something more.
You’re taking life as it comes---And living day to day.
Spend all your time in assembly line---Traffic jams and the PTA.
Somewhere deep inside it cries---voice you hate to hear.
Questioning what might have been---If you had only faced your fears.
Just take a stand against the hand the dealer chose---Set free your spirit and see how far it goes.
You can take what you want---and someday you will see
That there is something more---Yeah there is something more.
So many things that we wanted to be---So many things that we wanted to see.
So many things to try---But life gets in the way.
So many things that we wanted to say---So many games that we wanted to play.
So many ways to fly---But life gets in the way.
Give up your mind---Take the time to kindle up the flame.
You gotta try to change your life---There is no one else to blame.
So listen to the voice in you---Then you’ll seize the day.
You never know how far you’ll go---If you never leave the gate.
Set yourself free to be the thing you always crave.
You’re on this ride for a short time then in your grave.
You’ll take what you want no one gets it for free.
And make it something more
Yeah make it something more.
Chorus x2
