[Verse 1]
Show me how to lie, you're getting better all the time
And turning all against the one is an art that's hard to teach
Another clever word sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you step back into line, a mob jumps to their feet
[Pre-Chorus]
Now dance, fucker, dance man, he never had a chance
And no one even knew it was really only you
And now you steal away, take him out today
Nice work you did, you're gonna go far, kid
[Chorus]
With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives
[Verse 2]
Slowly out of line, and drifting closer in your sight
So play it out, I'm wide-awake, it's a scene about me
There's something in your way and now someone is gonna pay
And if you can't get what you want, well, it's all because of me
[Pre-Chorus]
Now dance, fucker, dance, man, I never had a chance
And no one even knew, it was really only you
And now you'll lead the way, show the light of day
Nice work you did, you're gonna go far, kid, trust deceived
[Chorus]
With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives
[Bridge]
Now dance, fucker, dance, he never had a chance
And no one even knew, it was really only you
So dance, fucker, dance, I never had a chance
It was really only you
[Chorus]
With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives
[Outro]
Clever alibis, Lord of the Flies
Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes, see 'em running for their lives

[Verse 1]
If you could only read my mind
You would know that things between us ain't right
I know your arms are open wide
But you're a little on the straight side, I can't lie
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Your one vice
Is you're too nice
Come around now, can't you see?
[Chorus 1]
I want you, all tattooed
I want you bad
Complete me, mistreat me
I want you to be bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
[Verse 2]
If you could only read my mind
You would know that I've been waiting so long
For someone almost just like you
But with attitude, I'm waiting, so come on
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Get out of clothes time
Grow out those highlights
Come around now, can't you see?
[Chorus 2]
I want you, in a vinyl suit
I want you bad
Complicated, x-rated
I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
Bad
[Bridge]
Don't get me wrong
I know you're only being good
But that's what's wrong
I guess I just misunderstood
[Chorus 3]
I want you, all tattooed
I want you bad
Complicated, x-rated
I want you bad
[Outro]
I mean it, I need it
I want you bad, bad, bad, bad, bad
Bad, really, really bad

[Verse 1]
Look at me, I'm fallin' off of a cliff now
I can still hear my mama yelling, "No! No! No!"
But the words mean nothin', can't catch up to me now
The view is so beautiful all the way down
When I was a little boy suckin' juice from a bottle
Believing my perceptions were oh so real
But I didn't know nothin', still, knowing nothin'
Was just enough for me to know the way I feel
[Chorus]
This is life
What a fucked-up thing we do
What a nightmare come true
Or a playground, if we choose
And I choose
[Verse 2]
Look at me, I'm swollen like a banana fish now
I'm never gonna make it, make it out of my hole
But I keep on laughin', doesn't really matter
There's dozens of reasons for explaining my soul
When I was a teenager, suckin' booze with the Vatos
Discussing who was gonna live to be twenty-one
They said they wouldn't make it; they didn't make it
We're all naked when the day is said and done
[Chorus]
This is life
What a fucked-up thing we do
What a nightmare come true
Or a playground, if we choose
And I choose
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Don't know who made this all come true
Now, while you're here, just gotta do
What you gotta do
One, two, three, four!
[Interlude]
Ooh-woah-ooh-woah-ooh-woah-ooh
[Verse 3]
Now, if I wasn't such a weenie, do you think you'd still love me?
Pretending I'm an airplane on the living room floor
Like a lovely generator, you stand right by me
And if words were wisdom, I'd be talkin' even more
So I keep on fallin' as I'm lookin' back above me
Watching as my mama just becomes a little dot (Dot!)
Now I'm, I'm like DeNiro, I'm Amarillo
And I'll never know when I hit the ground
[Chorus]
This is life
What a fucked-up thing we do
What a nightmare come true
Or a playground, if we choose
Said choose
Said choose
And I choose

[Verse 1]
The winds of fortune
Don't blow the same
She had to get out
And make a change
She had a kid now
But much too young
That baby daddy's out having fun
[Chorus 1]
He's saying "I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know"
His baby momma
She ain't so slow
He's saying "I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know"
I know you wanna hit that
I know you wanna hit that, hit that
All the world is gettin' with, I say
Consequences are a lot, but hey
That's the way it
That's the way things go
[Verse 2]
What was a family
Is now a shell
We're raising kids now
Who raise themselves
Sex is a weapon
And it's like a drug
It gets him right into that grave that he just dug
[Chorus 2]
She's saying "I'm on the run
I'm chasing guys for fun"
Her baby daddy
It ain't his only one
She's saying "I'm on the run
I'm chasing guys for fun"
I know you wanna hit that
I know you wanna hit that, hit that
Everybody's gettin' with, I say
Consequences are a lot, but hey
That's the way it
That's the way things go
[Bridge]
Well it winds up, broken up, really such a shame
But why not take a chance, everything's a game
And it don't stop hooking up, nothing's gonna change
The more he's trying
The more he's buying
[Chorus 3]
He says "I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know"
His baby momma
Don't need to know
He's saying "I'm on a roll
With all the girls I know"
I know you wanna hit that
I know you wanna hit that, hit that
All the world is gettin' with, I say
Consequences are a lot, but hey
That's the way it
That's the way things go

[Intro]
Hey, man, you know I'm really okay
The gun in my hand will tell you the same
But when I'm in my car, don't give me no crap
’Cause the slightest thing and I just might snap
[Verse 1]
When I go driving, I stay in my lane
But getting cut off, it makes me insane
I open the glove box, reach inside
I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride
[Chorus]
I guess I got a bad habit
Of blowin' away (Yeah, Yeah)
I got a bad habit (Yeah, Yeah)
And it ain't goin' away (Yeah, Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah, Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah, Yeah)
[Verse 2]
They say the road is a dangerous place
If you flip me off, I'll get in your face
If you drive on my ass, your foot's on the gas
And your next breath is your last
[Chorus]
I guess I got a bad habit
Of blowin' away (Yeah, Yeah)
I got a bad habit (Yeah, Yeah)
And it ain't goin' away (Yeah, Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah, Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah, Yeah)
[Bridge]
Drivers are rude
Such attitudes
But when I show my piece
Complaints cease
Something's odd
I feel like I'm God
You stupid dumbshit goddam motherfucker!
[Refrain]
I open the glove box
Reach inside
I'm gonna wreck this fucker's ride
[Chorus]
I guess I got a bad habit
Of blowin' away (Yeah, Yeah)
I got a bad habit (Yeah, Yeah)
And it ain't goin' away (Yeah, Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah, Yeah)
Yeah (Yeah, Yeah)
[Outro]
Yeah (Yeah, Yeah)
Yeah, oh

[Verse 1]
When we were young the future was so bright (Whoa)
The old neighborhood was so alive (Whoa)
And every kid on the whole damn street (Whoa)
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn (Whoa)
The kids are grown up but their lives are worn (Whoa)
How can one little street
Swallow so many lives?
[Chorus]
Chances thrown, nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
(Go!)
[Verse 2]
Jamie had a chance, well she really did (Whoa)
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids (Whoa)
Mark still lives at home 'cause he's got no job (Whoa)
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
Jay committed suicide (Whoa)
Brandon OD'd and died (Whoa)
What the hell is going on?
The cruelest dream, reality
[Chorus]
Chances thrown, nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams
(Go!)
[Chorus]
Chances thrown, nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams

[Intro]
Oh, baby, let the bad times roll (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh, baby, let the bad times roll (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 1]
We're gonna hang 'em high
We're gonna shoot straight up in the air
This eye is for an eye
No need to ask and no need to care, yeah
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well, don't be thinkin' we're crazy, crazy
When you see all the hell that we're raisin' (Raisin')
Don't be thinkin' we're crazy, crazy
'Cause the truth is what we're erasing
And so I, I'm doing it all for you
I, I'm doing it all for you
[Chorus 1]
Oh, baby, let the bad times roll
Machiavelli flow (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Hey, Lincoln, how does your grave roll? (Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Takе what's right and make it wrong
Make it up as I go along
Let mе know when you decide
Apathy or suicide
Oh, baby, let the bad times roll (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
Now it was all a lie
But that bitch won't get in my way
Keep shoutin' what I like, "Lock her up, lock her up"
Now that's a good one, I gotta say, yeah
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Well, don't be thinkin' we're crazy, crazy
When you see all the hell that we're raisin' (Raisin')
Don't be thinkin' we're crazy, crazy
'Cause the truth is what we're erasing
And so I, I'm turning my back on you
I, I'm turning my back on you
[Chorus 2]
Oh, baby, let the bad times roll
On a stripper pole (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yeah, fuck it, let the bad times roll (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Fuck it, fuck it)
Mexicans and blacks and Jews
Got it all figured out for you
Gonna build a wall, let you decide
Apathy or suicide
Oh, baby, let the bad times roll (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Post-Chorus]
Now I'm letting the bad times roll
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Doing it all for you
I'm doing it all for you
[Chorus 3]
Oh, baby, let the bad times roll
Machiavelli flow (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Hey, Lincoln, how does your grave roll? (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
Take what's right and make it wrong
Make it up as I go along
Let me know when you decide
Apathy or suicide
Oh, baby, let the bad times roll (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
Oh, baby, let the bad times roll
Let me know when you decide
Apathy or suicide
Oh, baby, let the bad times roll
(Fuck it, fuck it)
Oh, baby, let the bad times roll

[Verse 1]
In this world of hate and shallowness
Where enemies become your consolation
And those of us who win the game
Give up their minds
I don't call that winning
Say this doesn't apply to you
But ask yourself first
What have I done today to win the game
And just what have I sacrificed
[Chorus 1]
Win the battle or lose the war
I know I've played the game before
When people were still real
I don't want this anymore
It's time for me to close the door
There's nothing left to feel
[Verse 2]
Reflect on all our yesterdays
My own words choke me
Why were they spoken
Regret for things I've said and done
Just can't compare with
Regret for those that I have never tried
So blame this world or blame yourself
It's really all the same
When you are standing on that precipice
From which you just cannot return
[Chorus 1]
Win the battle or lose the war
I know I've played the game before
When people were still real
I don't want this anymore
It's time for me to close the door
There's nothing left to feel
[Verse 3]
In the style of forgotten men
I look to my horizon
I see nothing
While thoughts of guns and desecration
Sweep through my mind
But only coffins and bones remain
As I look to you
The emptiness behind your eyes
Seals my decision
Can't carry on in a world of jugglers
Where all this thoughtlessness
And bludgeonings your key to success
What kind of tradition to carry on
[Chorus 2]
Blackball‚ The new disease
Blackball‚ The new disease
Blackball‚ Your evil ways have found
Their way inside me
Blackball‚ The new disease
Blackball‚ The new disease
Blackball‚ For a better life in this
High-tech dog-eat-dog existence
[Chorus 1]
Win the battle or lose the war
I know I've played the game before
When people were still real
I don't want this anymore
It's time for me to close the door
There's nothing left to feel

[Verse 1]
In my own simple way
I think she wants me only
She said come over right away
But she's just not that way
Her little soul is stolen
See her put on a brand-new face
[Chorus]
Pull the shades
Razor blades
You're so tragic
I hate you so
But love you more
I'm so elastic
The things you say
The games you play
Dirty magic
[Verse 2]
I should know better than
To think I'd reach inside her
It's all a cloudy kind of daze
She's not so sweet today
She mocks me, I'm no fighter
It all just seems like such a waste
[Chorus]
Pull the shades
Razor blades
You're so tragic
I hate you so
But love you more
I'm so elastic
The things you say
The games you play
Dirty magic
[Bridge]
It's oversimplified
It's oversimplified
It's oversimplified
[Chorus]
Pull the shades
Razor blades
You're so tragic
I hate you so
But love you more
I'm so elastic
The things you say
The games you play
Dirty magic

[Verse 1]
Take me for a ride, I'm the one you pushed aside
But it's coming back to you
Ya it's coming back to you
Run to the sound, take it back and double down
Cause it's coming back to you
Ya it's coming back to you
[Chorus]
Ahh well we're pouring gasoline
So dance around the fire that we once believed in
Ahh and we'll never be the same now
Cause there's nothing left for us to bleed
Give it up the champions of greed
So come around and have another round on me
Dance fucker dance let the motherfucker burn!
[Verse 2]
Snake is in the grass while you're living in the past
Saying whatcha gonna do?
Ya whatcha gonna do?
Earn never learn we'll be cheering while it burns
And we're coming after you
Ya we're coming after you
Slim Pickens well he does the right thing
And he rides the bomb to hell
Ya he rides the bomb to hell
Watch the pulse it quickens after every little sting
If you're gonna go to hell
Drink it up you might as well
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you really gonna take it like that?
Riding on a missile with a cowboy hat
[Chorus]
Ahh well the world is gonna end
So dance around the fire that we once believed in
I wanna tear it down again now
Cause there's nothing left for us to bleed
Give it up the sons of anarchy
So come around and have another round on me
Dance fucker dance let the motherfucker burn!
[Pre-Chorus]
Are you really gonna take it like that?
Riding on a missile with a baseball bat
[Chorus]
Ahh well we're pouring gasoline
So dance around the fire that we once believed in
Ahh and we'll never be the same
The takers and the liars that we all believed in
Ahh well we're going down in flames
So dance around the fire, we dance around the fire
Cause there's nothing left for us to bleed
Give it up the champions of greed
So come around and have another round on me
Dance fucker dance let the motherfucker burn!

[Verse 1]
You may push me around
But you cannot win
You may throw me down
But I'll rise again
The more you say
The more I defy you
So get out of my face
[Chorus 1]
You cannot stop us
You cannot bring us down
Never give up
We go on and on
You'll never break us
Never bring us down
We are alive!
[Verse 2]
The wind blows
I'll lean into the wind
My anger grows
I'll use it to win
The more you say
The more I defy you
So get out of my way
[Chorus 2]
All my will
All my strength
Rip it out
Start again
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2][x4]
[Bridge]
Can you leave it all behind?[x2]
Cause you can't go back
You can't go back
[Chorus 1]

We are alive
Oh no
