WELL I SEE BY YOUR FACE, THE THINGS THAT I SAY

TRYIN' TO CROSS THE LINE BETWEEN WRONG AND RIGHT
I NEVER BEEN A LOSER CUZ I WIN THE FIGHT
SOME LITTLE STUPID SAYS YOU CAN'T DO THAT
SO I PUNCHED HIM IN THE FACE AND SAID DON'T COME BACK
SOMEONE ALWAYS TELLIN' ME WHAT TO DO
BUT I CAN'T GET A BREAK FROM YOU KNOW WHO
MAMMA AND DADDY THEY MAKE THEIR RULES
BUT I KNOW BETTER CUZ I'M NO FOOL
SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE'S OUT TO GET ME
LOOKS LIKE NO ONE'S GONNA HELP ME
SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE'S OUT TO GET ME
LOOKS LIKE NO ONE'S GONNA HELP ME...NO
SEE LITTLE SISTER WITH A BROKEN HEART
THE BOYS IN THE ALLEY GAVE HER, HER START
NOW SHE'S TURNIN' TRICKS IN BED
YOU BETTER NOT GO THERE OR YOU'LL END UP DEAD
POLICE MAN IS BEATIN' UP A BRO
EVERYONE IS TELLIN' HIM TO LET HIM GO
HE'S NOT THE ONE YOU'RE LOOKIN' FOR
SO LET'S DON'T MAKE THIS A RACIAL WAR
SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE'S OUT TO GET ME
LOOKS LIKE NO ONE'S GONNA HELP ME
SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE'S OUT TO GET ME
LOOKS LIKE NO ONE'S GONNA HELP ME...NO
WELL, JIMIE AND RONNIE WELL THEY BROKE UP
NO ONE GIVES A DAMN CUZ IT'S JUST DUMB LUCK
RONNIE GET THE KIDS, BUT SHE'S FREE
JIMIE LIVES HIS LIFE IN MISERY
NOW ANOTHER DAY JUST PASSES BY
LIFE GOES ON AND WE DON'T CARE WHY
PEOPLE ON THE STREET, THEY HAVE NO HOME
I LOOK IN THE MIRROR I'M ALL ALONE
SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE'S OUT TO GET ME
LOOKS LIKE NO ONE'S GONNA HELP ME
SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE'S OUT TO GET ME
LOOKS LIKE NO ONE'S GONNA HELP ME...NO
NO...NO...NO
NO
NO...NO...NO

LONE LONELY HUNTER WITH A WHIPLASH SMILE
HE MET A PRETTY LADY AFTER TEN LONG MILES
TOO MUCH A MAN TO EVER PLEAD OR BEG
AND ALL HE EVER WANTED WA A LITTLE LEG
HE LIT HER CIGARETTES ALL NIGHT
SHE KEPT ON TALKIN' 'TIL THE MORNIN' LIGHT
RED HAIR AND HOT PANTS WOULD KILL HIM DEAD
IF ALL THIS OLD WHISKEY COULDN'T CLEAR HIS HEAD
YOU AND I'VE GOT A FAVORITE DREAM
LIVIN', LOVIN', GIRLS, WOMEN AND BEAM
CLIMB ON THE BACK BABE DON'T NEED NO DEGREE
JUST LET ME LOCK UP YOUR MOUTH WITH MY SKELETON KEY
(CAN'T STOP TALKIN', JUST START WALKIN')
I DON'T NEED NOTHIN' BUT A LADY TONIGHT
(CAN'T STOP TALKIN', JUST START WALKIN')
SHE HOPPED ON BACK AND SAID
BABY GIVE ME A RIDE.....YOW
CAMOUFLAGED ILLUSIONS ON A DEAD END RUN
RIDIN' ON THE WIND JUST LIKE SMOKE FROM A GUN
SWEET LITTLE SISTER RUNNIN' WILD IN THE NIGHT
LOVIN' AND LEAVIN' ALL THOSE EARTHLY DELIGHTS
HANDCUFFED PRESENTATION SPELLED OUT IN A PLAY
JUST WANT A WOMAN WITH NOTHIN' TO SAY
LEATHER AND SPANDEX PAINTED ON TIGHT
I'LL HAVE YOU LITTLE SISTER SOMEWHERE IN THE NIGHT
YOU AND I'VE GOT A FAVORITE DREAM
LIVIN', LOVIN', GIRLS, WOMEN AND BEAM
CLIMB ON THE BACK BABE DON'T NEED NO DEGREE
JUST LET ME LOCK UP YOUR MOUTH WITH MY SKELETON KEY
(CAN'T STOP TALKIN', JUST START WALKIN')
I DON'T NEED NOTHIN' BUT A LADY TONIGHT
(CAN'T STOP TALKIN', JUST START WALKIN')
SHE HOPPED ON BACK AND SAID
BABY GIVE ME A RIDE.....YEAH
HE DROPPED HER OFF AND NOT A WORD WAS SAID
THOUGHTS OF CONVERSATION RUNNIN' THROUGH HIS HEAD
GOT OFF THE BACK, SHE STARTED STRUTTIN' AWAY
JUST HAD TO TELL HOW MUCH HE WANTS HER TO STAY
SHE CAME ON BACK AND PUT ONE HAND ON HIS MOUTH
HE FELT THE OTHER, IT WAS HEADIN' SOUTH
GOT ON THE BACK THEY STARTED RIDIN' AWAY
INTO THE NIGHT WITH NOTHIN' TO SAY
I DON'T NEED NOTHIN' BUT A LADY TONIGHT
(CAN'T STOP TALKIN', JUST START WALKIN')
YOU KNOW I DON'T NEED NOTHIN' BUT A LADY BABY
(CAN'T STOP TALKIN', JUST START WALKIN')
SHE HOPPED ON BACK AND SAID
BABY GIVE ME A RIDE.....YEAH

LISTEN TO THE SOUND OF MY VOICE
CAN'T YOU TELL MY HEART IS BLEEDIN'
I KNOW I PROBABLY LEFT YOU NO CHOICE
WELL I GUESS THAT'S YOUR REASON FOR LEAVIN'
I COULD PROMISE YOU THINGS LIKE BEFORE
BUT WE'D ONLY END UP SCREAMIN'
I COULD TELL YOU I LOVE YOU ONCE MORE
BUT IN MY SLEEP, I'D ONLY BE DREAMIN'
IF I COULD I WOULD CHANGE THE WAY
YOU FEEL ANOTHER DAY
IF I COULD I WOULD BEG YOU TO STAY
BUT I KNOW THERE IS NO WAY...NO WAY
IN THIS WORLD THERE'S A LOT TO BE LEARNED
AND TIME CAN ONLY TELL
IF WE CHANGE OR STAY THE SAME
WOULD OUR LIVES BE A LIVIN' HELL
MAKES NO DIFFERENCE YOU'RE NOT 'ROUND ANYMORE
AND ONCE AGAIN MY HEART IS EMPTY
I COULD GO ON BEIN' ALONE
BUT FOR ME IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE
IF I COULD I WOULD CHANGE THE WAY
I FEEL ANOTHER DAY
IF I COULD JUST WALK AWAY
BUT I KNOW THERE IS NO WAY...NO WAY
IF I COULD I WOULD CHANGE THE WAY
YOU FEEL ANOTHER DAY
IF I COULD I WOULD BEG YOU TO STAY
BUT I KNOW THERE IS NO WAY...NO WAY
LISTEN TO THE SOUND OF MY VOICE
CAN'T YOU TELL MY HEART IS BLEEDIN'
I KNOW I PROBABLY LEFT YOU NO CHOICE
WELL I GUESS THAT'S YOUR REASON FOR LEAVIN'
I COULD PROMISE YOU THINGS LIKE BEFORE
BUT WE'D ONLY END UP SCREAMIN'
I COULD TELL YOU I LOVE YOU ONCE MORE
BUT IN MY SLEEP, I'D ONLY BE DREAMIN'
IF I COULD I WOULD CHANGE THE WAY
YOU FEEL ANOTHER DAY
IF I COULD I WOULD BEG YOU TO STAY
BUT I KNOW THERE IS NO WAY...NO WAY
IF I COULD.....IF I COULD

DOIN' MY BIT FOR UNCLE SAM
SENT ME OUT HERE TO JAPAN
READIN' SIGNS I CAN'T UNDERSTAND
JUST ANOTHER LOST SOUL IN A FOREIGN LAND
TAKE A LOOK AROUND AND YOU MIGHT FIND
IT'S A DIFFERENT STATE OF MIND
SAID GOOD-BYE TO MY DAD AND MOM
THEY SHIPPED MY ASS RIGHT OFF TO GUAM
AMERICA STILL OWNS THEIR SAND
BUT YOU CAN'T FOOL ME, IT'S A FOREIGN LAND
TAKE A LOOK AROUND AND YOU MIGHT FIND
IT'S A DIFFERENT STATE OF MIND
WENT OUT TO EGYPT TO SEE KING TUT
GOT A SICK FEELIN' IN MY GUT
THINKIN' ABOUT THAT SLAVIN' MAN
BUILDING PYRAMIDS IN THAT FOREIGN LAND
TAKE A LOOK AROUND AND YOU MIGHT FIND
IT'S A DIFFERENT STATE OF MIND
WENT OUT TO VISIT THE PORTUGUESE
MET A LITTLE GIRL, SHE WAS SUCH A TEASE
FOUR MONTHS I COULD ONLY HOLD HER HAND
THEN I FINALLY GOT A PIECE IN THAT FOREIGN LAND
TAKE A LOOK AROUND AND YOU MIGHT FIND
IT'S A DIFFERENT STATE OF MIND
(SPOKEN)

SEEN LOTS OF THINGS, MET ALL KINDS OF GIRLS
AND I HAVIN' A GREAT TIME
AND YOU KNOW WHAT

JUST GIVE THE BILL TO UNCLE SAM
(END SPOKEN)
SENT ME OFF TO FIGHT IRAQ
WITH AN M-16 STRAPPED ACROSS MY BACK
TO GO AND KILL THAT TOWEL HEAD MAN
BLOW THE HELL OUT OF HIS FOREIGN LAND
TAKE A LOOK AROUND AND YOU MIGHT FIND
IT'S A DIFFERENT STATE OF MIND
YEAH I'M DOIN' MY BIT FOR UNCLE SAM
KICKIN' OUT HERE OUT IN JAPAN
GOT MYSELF A ROCKIN' BAND
WE'RE PLAYIN' ALL AROUND THIS FOREIGN LAND
TAKE A LOOK AROUND AND YOU MIGHT FIND
IT'S A DIFFERENT STATE OF MIND
(SPOKEN)
NOW YA KNOW WHEN I GO HOME AND I SEE ALL MY OLD FRIENDS
LIVIN' IN THE SAME OLD TOWN, DOIN' THE SAME OLD JOB
YEAH, SOME OF 'EM ARE GOING TO COLLEGE
BUT MY EDUCATION'S FREE
JUST GIVE THE BILL TO UNCLE SAM
(C) 1997 Dickens
A LIE WAS TOLD, A WORD MISSPOKEN
A PROMISE MADE, A PROMISE BROKEN
WELL IS IT IN MY MIND, OR IS IT REAL
WHAT'S THIS EVIL THAT I FEEL
NOT EVER KNOWIN' BY TOUCH OR BY FEEL
HOW CAN I TELL, IF THIS REAL
ALONE AT NIGHT WHILE I'M LYIN' IN BED
EVIL THOUGHTS ROLLIN' THROUGH MY HEAD
I SEE YOU STANDIN' ALONE IN THE DARK
NOT EVEN KNOWIN' WHAT'S GONNA START
IS IT IN MY MIND, OR IS IT REAL
WHAT IS THIS EVIL THAT I FEEL
RAISING HELL I GOT EVIL IN MIND
WASTING PEOPLE, WASTING TIME
AND UNJUST KILLER RUNNIN' LOOSE RUNNIN' WILD
WELL IS IT DEJA VU
OR ME AS A CHILD
THE MORNING COMES AND I AWAKE
IS THIS A DREAM OR A BIG MISTAKE
WAS I CHOSEN TO BE THE ONE
TO PERFORM THESE TRAGEDIES THAT HAVE BECOME
I'M GOIN' TO FIND YOU NOW DON'T YOU BELIEVE
WHEN WILL I WAKE UP, WHEN WILL I SEE
IS IT IN MY MIND, OR IS IT REAL
WHAT IS THIS EVIL THAT I FEEL
RAISING HELL I GOT EVIL IN MIND
WASTING PEOPLE, WASTING TIME
AND UNJUST KILLER RUNNIN' LOOSE RUNNIN' WILD
WELL IS IT DEJA VU
OR ME AS A...CHILD
