go downtown to catch the early movie
the shows are cheaper there
and they don't mind if you put your feet up
she's out on the highway
she's got a homemade sign it says
go ahead and try to figure out what my future looks like
I don't wanna live my life like a story
I was thinking I could've been something
don't run along side and control me
just film away and let me be
at ease, I feel fine
I'll move on, I'll go on
there's something so divided
don't worry about me I'll be fine
don't live your life for me or for anyone
you Live your life as if you're one
you Live your life as if you're one
find quiet, it's awful quiet
how can you be mad we just got started
I want to shave my head and lie in bed all day long
how can you be mad we just got started
live your life as if you're one
live your life as if you're one
at ease, I feel fine
I'll go on, I'll move on
don't live your life like a movie
always thinking you could've been something
don´t live your life for me or for anyone
you live your life as if you're one
You live your life as if you're one
find quiet, it's awful quiet

there is mass confusion in the forest
I heard it on the radio
and they're bringing in some guy
and he is gonna go on about all the things he don't know
and there's some girl in the background
screaming something about missing trees
and I'm wondering where did they go
no lines on the highway
no passing they say
no green to my left
and no green to my right
and the man behind the axe always gets a full meal
cause green never puts up much of a fight
so here's some helpful hints
some breath assured pints
full of beautiful grace.
so we steal their space
and death comes quickly
so we pull up to our double car garage hideaways
and we start to say
where did all the trees go
they moved across the street to grow
where did all the trees go
does anyone know
where did all the lights come from
they say you're big before you're small
I'm sure glad i don't know it all
if the trees could be lions
would they still fall and be tagged
would they refuse to surrender
refuse to be gagged
if the trees had a mother and a father like mine
would they stand up say praise the trees
the trees will be fine
wake me up from this dream
and tell me things aren't as bad as they seem
and tell me is it so not cool to say
who will save the trees

you've got your lights turned so they can see you
the very best of what you've got to offer
tell them what your hands were made for
tell them who your mouth was made for
you've got your profits and your mathematicians
the vocal fuel of a generation
tell me what my hands were made for
tell me who my mouth was made for
and please don't be mad at me
you'll get what you ask for
come on come on come on
so very close to what you had expected
it makes it hard to keep my head up level
tell me I'm what your hands were made for
tell me I'm who your mouth was made for
and if you come down on me
well you'll get what you ask for
come on come on come on
I, I want to get myself back
high I want to get myself back
all of the things that you promised me that you'd be
now your hands are tired
and all of the things that you promised me
that you'd need
now my hands are tired
come on come on come on

shoulders of perfection let them drag you
straight across and tell me
have we found perfection are we finally lost and
I'm staring from a distance
why don't you come get a closer look
I can guarantee that lickin' the package
ain't ever quite as good as
so they're looking for a new face with a voice to go along
I can tell you right now that ain't my style
I don't do no sing alongs
with my freedom from the mighty sky
to the ground she said
you've got the freedom baby
walk out if they drag you down
standin' on the edge of a crisis
we decide to raise our own voices
consider that the sounds is our own and the fact
our feet grow up from the ground
this is where I wanna be
this is who I wanna be
so they get my voice
but they can they can never get my soul yes
there's a million things about me you will never know
like they caught me on video
and yeah they caught me on radio yeah
they caught me on video radio stereo
freedom from the mighty sky to the ground she said
you've got the freedom to walk out
if you drag me down
you've got the freedom baby to walk out
if they drag you down
if they drag you
if they drag you
walk out

freedom and blood
I make my mark and fight for tomorrow
finally I've got something
something I can raise my voice for
fine tell them who you really want
fine well you'll get yours and I'll get mine
proud I'm proud to be proud to see
they said proud
I'm proud to be proud to be me
they said tell me oh you've got to tell me
freedoms rough
so we take our stand and fight for tomorrow
finally we got something something we can
bring down the house with
fine tell them who you think you are
fine tell them fine is what you are
and when you finally figure out what it is you need
you better think of me
no no no no
when I get up
I feel the rhythm in my fingers
I get up - I hear the rhythm in my laughter
take a second look
you might find that I am stronger
take a second look
you might find that you are stronger
imagination inspiration
it's only fair that I tell you
I plan on leaving here tonight with my pride
it gets me every time with my pride
I'm proud to be I'm proud to be me

had a bad day as bad as they come
time to get a real job you gotta stop having fun
so I got a real job I'm working nine to nine
I'm making five bucks an hour 'til the day I die
got a straw inside of me and it's filled just fine
got a straw inside of me with the strongest wine
I'm one third passion I'm two thirds pride
said I used to have a life once
he said I used to like your smile once
singing silence to the world
but the stars kept marching
he said silence to everyone I said I'm still talking
have you got some more deep inside of you
I'll always have more for me
I take a little more for me baby
I got a picture of the way the world has summed me up
if I could have one wish I sure wish that
I had never grown up
I got a picture of the way I looked when I was three
I came out laughing screaming dancing
I used to be free spirited
now I'm just free of sleep
I got a burning passion in my throat
I got a burning passion inside me
I got a job that wastes my time and gift
I got a life that needs a serious lift
and all the things I wanted
yes all the things I want
go on and on and on and on
on and on and on and on
well I go on
silence to the world but the stars keep marching
silence to everyone but I kept talking
have you got some more deep inside of you
yes I'll always have more for me
he says all the things I want they go
so I, I take a little more for me

one time in your life
you've got the route in hand but the map is stuck
they said it's
not your fault the tires are tired the camera moves
and your driver's been pulled
and I, I have always felt this
and I, I could never hear it
so I turned it up and turned it on
and turned it down
always the volume always the words
review the press and tell it like it is
your life is hype, your love is hype
and I will clench my own fist
and I will always wait
there's more there's more than blood that beats
through my heart
my hands my feet stuck between my tongue
and my teeth
we don't know so we wait for tomorrow
we don't know so we wait for tomorrow
we don't know so we only go forward
two times in your life you will trace the edge
sink your toes in
review my press and tell it like it is
my life is hype my love is hype
and I, I will clench my own fist
and I, I will always wait
I'd wait up all night for you

they're all desperate for love and affection
no they're desperate for you
and as you sit up there
all sly and sure I wonder
does anyone think as strongly as you do
I'm quite sure we'll find one another
in a place that's better then this
a time filled with us and we
send up our shooting stars and comets
yeah we make our little gestures
yes we make our little comments
this song is my anthem
and it makes up my ideas
and who I am as benefitted from
all my cleverly planned meals
all my cleverly planned meals
I'm stripped and vital and I see rules that almost fit
so if I voice my opinion will you stay and sit
and as I stand here screaming in despair
I said yes this is my life
and yes you should care
this song is my anthem
(close your eyes)
and it makes up my ideas
and here I am as benefitted from
(and you'll free your mind)
all my cleverly planned meals
(you're free to fly)
all my cleverly planned meals
(just say close your eyes)
(and I will free your mind, you're free to fly)
hardly happy at all
and I'm ready to take the fall
cause we pay for the stupid things we've done we come from
can you sit through this or is it going to be too deep
will you ever use common sense it comes pretty cheap
so if I speak more clearly if I make more sense
will you just shut your mouth
you won't come across quite so dense
and so close your eyes
free your mind, you're free to fly
close your eyes
I free my mind, I'm free to fly
I said close your eyes
and may you free your mind, you're free to fly
I said close your eyes
and may you free your mind, you're free to fly
she said close your eyes
and free your mind, you're free to fly
she said close your eyes
free you mind, free to fly
close your eyes
close your eyes
I will free your mind, you're free to fly
this song is my anthem,
and it makes up my ideals
and who I am as benefitted from
all my cleverly planned meals
all my cleverly planned meals

an angel kissed my strings
while I slept last night
and her rhythm broke my hunger
and I died a little less
well I just want to get some
get some while I’m still tall
oh, let’s tell the world we’re unheard
we’re unsure we’re unstop
we’re unstoppable
oh Let’s tell the girls to be strong
to be sure to be heard
we want to be heard
and you’re all
you’re all I want yeah all I want
so tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me,
tell me where have you been?
well an angel kissed my hands
while I slept last night
and when I woke up this morning
God, I missed you something fierce
I just want to get some
get some while I’m still tall
oh, let’s tell the world we’re unheard
we’re unsure we’re unstop
we’re unstoppable
oh Let’s tell the girls to be strong
to be sure to be heard
we want to be heard
and you’re all
you’re all I want yeah all I want
so tell me, tell me,
tell me, tell me, tell me where have you been?
fashion isn’t dead
no it’s just inside out
it’s just inside out
she says she needs a priest
wants to get closer to God
I say all I need’s a ladder
I want to touch your sky
you want it all do you want it all?
do you want it all? do you want it all?
and you’re heavy in my heart
you’re heavy in my hands
you’re heavy in my mouth
yes you’re heavy in my day
you’re heavy in my songs
you’re heavy in light
and you’re all that I want
yeah you’re all that I want
yeah you’re all that I want
God you’re all that I want
oh, you’re all I want

the sun’s rays don’t bother me
no they cast down such a wonderful heat
masking beauty by a terrible fate
if you fly to close and then you turn too late
the night still confuses me
we’d all get tired and have to sleep eventually
regardless of the sun’s demands
regardless if it made much sense
you moved so far that I know how far
and then you got so sad that I, I bought a car
yes I’ll come get you
and I will bring you home
I’ll come get you
and I will bring you home
he sat me down he said he was incomplete
he thinks true love’s gonna get him back on his feet
he said you only find love once in your life
so I guess when you find it you gonna hold it right
you’ll hold it right
it makes no sense
cause there’s no sense in it at all
we all wait around
we wait for you to get tired and fall
as your shadow it resumes in me
yes your shadow it was made for me
she speaks clearly he speaks loudly
I speak only clearly loudly
yes she speaks clearly he speaks loudly
I speak only clearly loudly
ya my shadow well it resumes with me
yes my shadow well it was made for me
she told me love will come once in your life
so I guess when you find it
you gonna hold it right you gonna hold it right
you hold it right
you moved so far that I knew exactly how far
and then you got so sad that I, I bought a car
yes I’ll come get you
and I will bring you home
I’ll come get you
and I will bring you home
I’ll come get you
and I’ll say welcome home

dignified in what she does when she sings
the smile that she brings to all of you unaware
of what's to come I said tell me what's to come
green is the color of my envy
it's the color of fame
so I'm gonna write it down to scream it out
and I'm never gonna be the same again
fear is the color you've all exposed
now I gotta get up here
and prove the importance
of my clothes of my pose I suppose again
hard core superstar by far you're the ultimate star
do you wanna be a superstar
well that's what you are
you're gonna be a star
do you wanna be a superstar?
clever in what she does competing for the attention
of those people that you know
my whole life revolves around
your absence until I can't remember
what I was or what I am
who I know or what I know or where I go
every moment was that moment
every day was that day
every second was that second
and I've lost myself again
soon my face will be on every magazine
and then my voice
will be on every frequency
take my heart while you're at it why don't you
sign me up to sell me out
I am my angel 'til death I do I saw my first angel
and it was you
