You’ll Never Win:

Sometimes it feels like you’re running in circles, living life is a waste of time, you suddenly find that you’re standing alone nobody is on your side, the weight of the world is bringing you down, you question your life, you question yourself, it’s the same sad story you’ve been trying to escape you can run all your life - you’ll never get away.

You’re giving up you’re giving in, you try so hard but you’ll never win. No one told you that life was easy and No one said you had to try, in a world so full of complications how did you manage to survive.

Growing up is hard to do when society is down on you. It just gets harder every day you watch your future slip away, your hopes crumble before your eyes every day is a struggle to get by growing up is hard to do when the world is looking down on you. Your future’s looking pretty hopeless. Your future’s looking pretty dim.

Chorus

Pigs:

Radio dispatch disturbance of the peace since when is it a crime to walk on public streets. Every single day you’re harassing me do we impose a threat to your community?

Officer why don’t you get off my back!!! Officer you’re way out of line. Officer why don’t you get off my back!!! can’t you see you’re just wasting your time.

It’s you true we may be different we conform to our own ways, it’s true we may be different but we’re people just the same. Every single day you’re harassing me do we impose a threat to your society.

Officer why don’t you get off my back, Officer you’re way out of line. Officer why don’t you get off my back you’re wasting your time and you’re wasting mine.

Standoff:

It all comes down to this a standoff till the end my brothers you’re so ignorant why can’t we just be friends not to long ago it didn’t mean a thing now it’s just another label that divides the scene.

Fight, Fight, Fight, It’s going down tonight you think your actions are gonna make it right. It’s a standoff between old friends It’s a standoff until the end.

What are we fighting for, what are we fighting for you know it really makes me sick you treat us all with disrespect we’re not gonna take it anymore.

Chorus

It all comes down to this a standoff till the end my brothers you’re so ignorant why can’t we just be friends, it didn’t mean a thing not too long ago now it’s the latest trend it’s the latest fashion show.

Chorus

Clueless:

I know that I’ve been here for quite a long ,long time trying to find the future I know I may never find but I try, yeah I try. I’m wasting my time wasting my time it makes no sense to try to make a difference in my life. Wasting my time, wasting my time. Now I know things aren’t what they used to be I’ve got to learn the meaning of responsibility but do I wanna make a difference in my life.

I’ve tried to make a difference things don’t seem to change I’m looking back at all the things I ever hated, hated about myself .Now I see the effort wasn’t even worth the try when I was young I thought I would make something of my life. Wasting my time.....

What Are We Coming To:

It happens all the time we see it every day you read it in the papers and you watch it on t.v. It’s the latest epidemic that has plagued the U.S.A. The young minds try to live up to the image you portray.

The future is the younger generation of today they listen to the music and the message you convey.

It happens all the time we see it every day he takes anothers life he throws his own away. I hear the screams of millions that have felt the pain and tears now they’re stricken with grief and overcome with fear. The future for years to come is looking up to you they follow what you say and they follow what you do. It’s 1997 and what are we coming to when killing one another is so easy to do.

Ignorance:

Through the eyes of everyone we may not look the same, but there are some things that we just can’t change. You, you see we’re people who just can’t seem to get along, so we let it carry on and on. Everyone is equal to me but we’re all struggling for equality. If you’d open your eyes you would see what lies beyond your bigotry. We’re at each others throats. We’re trying to bring each other down. You, you know it’s not supposed to be this way, but you don’t seem to care, for anyone who’s here, and so put it off another day.

Chorus

I don’t have all the answers to the worldly problems that we face, all’s I know is that it’s such bullshit, that we can’t get along we’re living in a world which feels such hate. Ignorance overpowers intelligence. We all just wanna be treated the same. Segregation through intimidation, why can’t we all just get all just get along. Segregation through intimida- tion, we’re too proud to admit we’re wrong.

I’ll Never Be:

In and out and back again you’ve taken me for all I am there was a time I found it hard to stand. On my own I’m doing fine I’m driving you out of my mind nothing’s gonna hold me back this time.

You’re everything I said I’d never be, you’re everything I said I’d never be, when I grow up if I’m like you I hope that I’m well hated too, you’re everything I said I’d never be.

Was a time I’d lie awake the feeling was so hard to shake it’s a rejection I have learned to take. Now when you look for sympathy you won’t get anything from me I wanted more from you than I ever received. You’re everything I said I’d never be, you’re everything I said I’d never be, on my own I’m doing fine I’m driving you out of my mind, you’re everything I said I’d never be.

In and out and back again you’ve taken me for all I had but now I am learning how to stand. On my own I’m doing fine I’m driving you out of my mind there ain’t nothing gonna hold me back this time.

Chorus

Hatred Tool:

Another joke at my expense a laughing stock to all my friends every single day my self esteem is ripped to shreds. It makes me feel like I’m no good mistreated and misunderstood why does it always seem like there’s something wrong with me. I never said a thing to make you feel this way when you cut me down to size I can only hang my head in shame. I know the feeling all too well I’ve felt it all before.

I know the feeling all too well don’t wanna feel it anymore. I’m tired of being pushed around I’m tired of people putting me down I’m sick of feeling worthless I’m sick of feeling used. I ain’t nobody’s hatred tool I’m tired of feeling like a fool, got nothing more to gain and nothing more to lose. I never said a thing to make you feel this way when you cut me down to size there’s nothing I can say. I ain’t nobody’s hatred tool I’m tired of feeling like a fool, got nothing more to gain and nothing more to lose.

Let Down:

What is it about respect that we don’t understand he stabs you in the back and he calls himself a friend. I’ve seen it all go down a hundred times before all the friendships you have made mean nothing anymore. I’ve seen so many bridges built and broken just the same all the years I thought I knew you and you turn your back on me. I considered you a brother I thought you were a friend. What is it about respect that you don’t seem to get.

It isn’t right, It isn’t right when you can’t trust a friend. Thought I could depend on you, you let me down again.

They say what goes around always comes around. It’ll all catch up to you eventually somehow. You, you took my trust for granted, left me empty handed, you disrespected me and everything I was about. I was nothing but a friend to you and I only asked the same, you brought it on yourself so your the one to blame. Don’t try to make excuses it’s to late for amends. Funny how you find out who your friends are in the end.

Chorus

We’ve got a lot to learn...

Odd Man Out:

There’s something coming over you, you don’t know what it is. It seems like you’re the only one who hasn’t any friends. They must be hard to come by when you look the way you do. They must be hard to find when there’s something wrong with you.

In every crowd there’s an odd man out (x4)

In every crowd there’s an odd man out it’s the way it’s always been it’s the way it’ll always be. It’s not about who you are, it’s all about who know, it’s got everything to do with popularity.

In every crowd there’s an odd man out. Don’t take it personal it’s just a way of life you see. In every crowd there’s an odd man out, it’s the mentality of a self righteous human being.

Now you feel the pain of living self contained, and suicide seems like the one way to get by. There’s no alternative there’s no reason for you to live, but will it make
your feelings look justified.

In every crowd there’s an odd man out (x4)
