"Metropolis - Part I - The Miracle And The Sleeper"

The smile of dawn
Arrived early may
She carried a gift from her home
The night shed a tear
To tell her of fear
And of sorrow and pain
She'll never outgrow

Death is the first dance, eternal

There's no more freedom
The both of you will be
Confined to this mind

I was told there's miracle for
Each day that I try
I was told there's a new love
That's born for each one that has died
I was told there'd be no one to
Call on when I feel alone and afraid
I was told if you dream of the next world
You'll find yourself
Swimming in a lake of fire

As a child, I thought I could
Live without pain
Without sorrow
As a man I've found it's all
Caught up with me
I'm asleep yet I'm so afraid

Somewhere like a scene from a memory
There's a picture worth a thousand words
Eluding stares from faces before me
It hides away and will never be
Heard of again

Deceit is the second without end

The city's cold blood teaches us
To survive
Just keep my heart in your eyes
And we'll stay alive

The third arrives...

Before the leaves have fallen
Before we lock the doors
There must be the third and last dance
This one will last forever
Metropolis watches and
Thoughtfully smiles
She's taken you to your home

It can only take place
When the struggle between
Our children has ended
Now the miracle and the
Sleeper know that the third is love

Love is the dance of eternity

"Walk On The Wild Side"

Holly came from miami f.l.a.
Hitch-hiked her way across the u.s.a.

Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her leg and then he was a she
She says, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
Said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side

Candy came from out on the island
In the backroom she was everybodys darling

But she never lost her head
Even when she was given head
She says, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
Said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
And the coloured girls go

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Little joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay

A hustle here and a hustle there
New york city is the place where they said
Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said hey joe, take a walk on the wild side

Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin for soul food and a place to eat

Went to the apollo
You should have seen him go go go
They said, hey sugar, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
All right, huh

Jackie is just speeding away
Thought she was james dean for a day

Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would have helped that dash
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
And the coloured girls say

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

"Baboon Music"

Hey kids!
I don't think your ready for this systematic rebirth
This is anything you want
Step right up and make your move
This is the primitive sound of the hung

I've programmed this station to sit by and watch you bleed
Dead noise has been broadcast in our heads far too long
And it ends with the taste of your blood
It ends with the sound of your scream

I don't know the faces but i know the names and i watch the shadows take shape
This time there's no prison to keep you alive and awake
This time there's no curtain to draw your dreams from physical reaction
Reaction!
Reaction!

Step right up make your move
This is anything you want
Step right up make your move
This is anything you want

The plug has been pulled from the wall the battery is dead
Are you still afraid?

I don't know the faces but i know the names and i watch the shadows take shape
This time there is no prison to keep you alive and awake
This time there is no curtain to draw your dreams
From physical complications in our shadows lost in traveling the setting sun
Conversations behind closed doors caught in our heads to hear once more

"Roll To Me"

Look around your world pretty baby
Is it everything you hoped it'd be
The wrong guy, the wrong situation
The right time to roll to me

Look into your heart pretty baby,
Is it aching with some nameless need.
Is there something wrong and you can't put your finger on it
Right then, roll to me

And I don't think I have ever seen a soul so in despair
So if you want to talk the night through
Guess who will be there?

So don't try to deny it pretty baby,
You've been down so long you can hardly see
When the engine's stalled and it won't stop raining
It's the right time to roll to me

And I don't think I have ever seen a soul so in despair
So if you want to talk the night through
Guess who will be there?

So look around your world pretty baby
Is it everything you hoped it'd be
The wrong guy, the wrong situation
The right time to roll to me

"Into The Great Wide Open"

Eddie waited 'til he finished high school
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
The future was wide open

They moved into a place they both could afford
He found a nightclub he could work at the door
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
The sky was the limit

Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue

The papers said Ed always played from the heart
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
They made a record and it went in the chart
The sky was the limit

His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled
Their A&R man said "I don't hear a single"
The future was wide open

Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue

"Waiting On The World To Change"

Me and all my friends
We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing and
There's no way we ever could

Now we see everything that's going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it

So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

It's hard to beat the system
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting
Waiting on the world to change

Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would have never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on their door
And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information
They can bend it all they want

That's why we're waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

It's not that we don't care
We just know that the fight ain't fair
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

And we're still waiting
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population
So we keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

We keep on waiting
Waiting on the world to change

"Master Of Puppets"

End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sudden dark is clear
Leading on your deaths construction
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
Obey your Master
Your life burns faster
Obey your
Master!

Master!

Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream

Master!

Master!

Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream

Master!

Master!

Needlework the way, never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
Obey your Master
Your life burns faster
Obey your
Master!

Master!

Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream

Master!

Master!

Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream

Master!

Master!

Master, Master, Where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, Master, You promised only lies
Laughter, Laughter, All I hear and see is laughter
Laughter, Laughter, laughing at my cries
Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season
I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too

Come crawling faster
Obey your Master
Your life burns faster
Obey your
Master!

Master!

Master of Puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream

Master!

Master!

Just call my name, `cause I'll hear you scream

Master!

Master!

"Epoca"

Si desapareció
En mi aparecerá
Creyeron que murió
Pero renacerá
Llovió, paró, llovió
Y un chico adivinó
Oímos una voz, y desde un tango
Rumor de pañuelo blanco

No eran buenas esas épocas
Malos eran esos aires
Fue hace veinticinco años
Y vos exístias

No eran buenas esas épocas
Malos eran esos aires
Fue hace veinticinco años
Y voa existías, sin existir todavía

Si desapareció
En mi aparecerá
Creyeron que murió y aquí se nace
Aquí la vida renace

No eran buenas esas épocas
Malos eran esos aires
Fue hace veinticinco años
Y vos exístias

No eran buenas esas épocas
Malos eran esos aires
Fue hace veinticinco años
Y voa existías, sin existir todavía

"The Grudge"

Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity
Calculate what we will or will not tolerate
Desperate to control all and everything
Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen

Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down
Justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end
Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down
Terrified of being wrong. Ultimatum prison cell

Saturn ascends, choose one or ten. Hang on or be humbled again

Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down
Justify denials and grip 'em to the lonesome end
Saturn ascends, comes round again
Saturn ascends, the one, the ten
Ignorant to the damage done

Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity
Calculate what we will or will not tolerate
Desperate to control all and everything
Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen

Wear the grudge like a crown. Desperate to control
Unable to forgive. And we're sinking deeper

Defining, confining, controlling, and we're sinking deeper

Saturn comes back around to show you everything
Let's you choose what you will not see and then
Drags you down like a stone or lifts you up again
Spits you out like a child, light and innocent

Saturn comes back around
Lifts you up like a child or
Drags you down like a stone
To consume you till you choose to let this go

Give away the stone
Let the oceans take and transmutate this cold and fated anchor
Give away the stone
Let the waters kiss and transmutate these leaden grudges into gold
Let go


by Tool

"Pariah"

The sore on the edge of your mouth
It mirror the ones on your arm of black tar
You've known the ripping.

And I've seen you pissing your condition into the dirt
I know you don't want to live in the dirt
You want to know nothing but dirt you know you can't beat weakness

Kill the flux!

Stretched to breaking an obscene canvas on a stretcher of parasitism
You piece of shit I won'y say your name but I will say this
FUCK OFF AND DIE (sooner the better)

You've shot out your eyes but I'm seeing that you cannot feel anything of worth
Know that you've pissed life away, lost in your narcotic dreams
Heart pumping futile shit through your veins

Why does it bother?
I want to punch in your sunken face
And see your dusty blood smear through the air in a polluted crimson arc
Splattering in a useless pattern on the concrete
Moribund


by Lamb Of God

"The Government Totally Sucks"

The government totally sucks
You motherfucker
The government totally sucks

Ben Franklin was a rebel indeed
He liked to get naked while he smoked on the weed
He was a genius but if he was here today
The government would fuck him up his righteous A!

Now let me tell you something about the government (uh huh)
They're fucking up the environment (say what?)
They're taking all the fucking beautiful animals (yeah?)
And making them fucking extinct (oh no!)

The government totally sucks
You motherfucker
The government totally sucks
The government totally sucks

'Cause the land of love and freedom
Is just a baby's breath away
And if we hold hands together
We can bring back the USA

The USAAAAAA, yeah!
Bring back the USAAAA, yeah!
The fucking USAAAA yeah!
Bring back the US!

Government totally sucks!

That was amazing, you changed people's lives tonight!
Yeah it was awesome, compared to bullshit!

"Débil Metal"

Walking in the dark
Now there's just some cookies
It's not for you
I know it's not yet
I just can't explain
It melts in my mouth
Dying to me now is popcorn

Can't you understand?
Can't you understand, boy?
So, shake your head
So, shake your head, sucker!

Walking in the dark
Now there's just some cookies
It's not for you

So, shake your head
So, shake your head, sucker!

No more ideas, No more ideas!
It's over!

"Revenge"

Remember the girl?
Abused with forks, knives, and razor blades?

Remember the girl?
Abused with forks, knives, and razor blades?
She finally left him, had enough of her man's rage
Band-aids covered her scars, she left him bloodied
Beat his ass with a bat, face sunk in like silly putty
Y'all can sit back so I can study, destruction of the family design
And how the morals of society decline
Essentially it's beats to rhyme like grapes to wine

It's alright, we're in love
Can't live with or without

You see she can't live with him, and can't live without him
Stress got her down, she needs to deal with her problems
As the drama gets deeper, I puff on the reefer
Took the last step and sent his ass to the reaper
Chaos is what she saw in the mirror
Scared of herself and the power that was in her
It took over, and weighed heavy on her shoulder
Militant insanity is now what controlled her

It's alright, we're in love
Can't live with or without

It's alright, we're in love
Can't live with or without

We're in love

Kill it before it reaches you
Missiles won't work, it's approaching the mainland
What if it reaches the metropolitan areas? Cosmopolitan areas?
Secure the lines and prepare for departure
Calm, calm, calm
It is a, a big business and seems to be advancing underground
Cause my style is underground
I'm green with my red eyes mad tint
Flea, fly, flo, rapido, rapido
She feed plentiful, electrifying the nation
Electrifying the nation!

Don't you see that we're in danger?
How will we stop it? She is attacking!
Don't you see that we are in danger?
How will we stop it? She is attacking!

Sucka! Danger danger!

Running out, we're running out (running out of time)

It's alright, we're in love
Can't live with or without


by Papa Roach

"This Could Be Anywhere In The World"

This town has its claws buried in my neck
This town, it takes lives, without mercy, without hate

The streets are in distress
The sun suffocates behind darkened skies

The grass is growing on top of my feet
I'm sinking, won't be long, before I'm too deep to run

The line up seems endless
Underneath the salvation signs

We are the dead ones, we are the lost cause
We are the bend before the break. Our steps seal our fate

Because this city, this city is haunted
By ghosts from broken homes
Because this city, this city is haunted
And there's no hope left for these souls

Every step I take I leave a small piece
Of myself behind. Soon there will be nothing left

The cracks in the pavement
Match the cracks in their weathered skin

The sky's a brick wall
The ground's a juggernaut
Each day they get a bit closer
Between them, I am caught

I stare in amazement
I can't believe this is where I live

Every breath I take I feel my lungs seal
This breeze feels more like shards of glass I'm more scars than skin

Because this city, this city is haunted
By ghosts from broken homes
Because this city, this city is haunted
And there's no hope left for these souls

Our steps seal fate, our steps seal fate

This is our celebration
Come join the lost souls

This city, this city is haunted

Oh! Walk with us. Oh! Down. Walk with us

This city, this city is haunted
By ghosts from broken homes
Because this city, this city is haunted
And there's no hope left for these souls

"Loser"

In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey
Butane in my veins and I'm out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flamin' with a loser and the cruise control
Baby's in Reno with the vitamin D
Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love-seat
Someone came in sayin' I'm insane to complain
About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
Don't believe everything that you breathe
You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
So shave your face with some mace in the dark
Savin' all your food stamps and burnin' down the trailer park

Yo, cut it

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?

Double-barrel buckshy

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?

Forces of evil on a bozo nightmare
Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber
'Cuz one's got a weasel and the other's got a flag
One's on the pole, shove the other in a bag
With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose-job
The daytime crap of the folksinger slob
He hung himself with a guitar string
A slab of turkey-neck and it's hangin' from a pigeon wing
You can't write if you can't relate
Trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate
And my time is a piece of wax fallin' on a termite
That's chokin' on the splinters

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?

Get crazy with the cheeze whiz

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?

Drive-by body-pierce
Yo bring it on down

I'm a driver, I'm the winner; things are gonna change I can feel it

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?

I can't believe you

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?

Sprechen sie Deutches, baby

Soy un perdedor
I'm a loser baby, so why don't you kill me?

Know what I'm sayin'?

"Getaway Car"

The first time I saw you
You were chasing down
A cyclone
All alone in a field
With rail yards and clovers
I kept rolling on and never thought
You'd wind up chasing me

Well settle down I won't hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you lay me to waste
Settle up and I'll help you find
Something to drive
Before you drive me insane

You're tired of walking and you
Loathe the ground
The sidewalk will barely
Touch your feet and life moves
Too slowly to hold you down
With ringing hands
You take it out on me

Well settle down I won't hesitate
To hit the highway
Before you lay me to waste
Settle up and I'll help you find
Something to drive
Before you drive me insane

"Road To Zion"

Yeah Man...
Jah will be waiting there, We a shout!
Jah will be waiting there

In this world of calamity
Dirty looks and grudges and jealousy
And police weh abuse dem authority
Media clowns weh nuh know 'bout variety
Boom!

The youngest veteran a go murder dem slow
Ragga muffin sent to call me from the bush bungalow
Unnu watch mek I clear out my voice now Figaro!
Emerge from the darkness with mi big blunt a glow
Mi hammer dem a slam and spectator get low
Some bwoy coulda big like Bam Bam Biggalow
Bust of trigger finger, trigger hand and trigger toe
A two gun mi have mi bust dem inna stereo
Cause

I got to keep on walking on the road to Zion, man
We gots to keeps it burning on the road to Zion, man

Clean and pure meditation without a doubt
Don't mek dem take you like who dem took out

In this world of calamity
Dirty looks and grudges and jealousy
And police weh abuse dem authority

Instead of broken dreams and tragedy
By any plan and any means and strategy

(Yeah, yeah)
You know (They know)
We got to keep on walking on the road to Zion, man
(Yeah you gotta keep walking y'all,

Sometimes I can't help but feel helpless
I'm havin daymares in daytime
Wide awake try to relate
This can't be happenin like I'm in a dream while I'm walkin
Cause what I'm seein is haunting
Human beings like ghost and zombies
President Mugabe holding guns to innocent bodies
In Zimbabwe
They make John Pope seem Godly
Sacrilegious and blasphemous

In my lifetime I look back at paths i've walked
Where savages fought and pastors taught
Prostitutes stomp in high heel boots
And badges screaming,"Young black children stop or I will shoot!"
I look back at cooked crack
Plus cars that pass by
Jaguars mad fly
And I'm guilty for materialism
Blacks is still up in the prison Trust that
So save me your sorries, I'm raising an army
Revolutionary warfare with Damian Marley
We sparkin' the ions, marching to Zion
You know how Nas be NYC state of mind I'm in

In this world of calamity
Dirty looks and grudges and jealousy
And police weh abuse dem authority
Media clowns weh nuh know 'bout variety
Boom!

I got to keep on walking on the road to Zion, man
We gots to keeps it burning on the road to Zion, man

Clean and pure meditation without a doubt
