Silverchair--Freak Show

1: Slave

Lived too long now you've come to take me
to a place where I can die
lost my soul lost my confidence in me
can't be something but I'll try
Lived too long and waited just to drown
in my self pity I keep falling down
(chorus)
Want to be your soldier
Want to be your slave
I have no pride in myself
Only book that I own is called how to lose'
Pick a chapter I know them all just choose
Lived too long and waited to find
A place where I can die
Lost my soul lost my confidence in me 
Give me something but I'll try
(chorus)


2: Freak

No more maybes
your baby's got rabies
sittin on a ball
in th middle of the Andes
Yeah i'm a freak (of nature)
Yeah I'm a freak
If only I could be as cool as you
as cool as you
Body and soul I'm a freak I'm a freak
Body and soul I'm a freak
Try to be different
Well get a differnt disease
seems it's a fashion
To need the cold sore cream
I don't really know
how to put ona 'cool' show
as boring as they come 
just tell me where to go
If only I could be as cool as you
Freak


3: Abuse me

Need to ask a question
Calling out my name
Nothing seems to bother
Wish I had a clue
C'mon abuse me more I like it
Well I don't think you like me
Well I hate you as well
No one seems to like you
Wish I couldn't tell
C'mon abuse me more I like it
C'mon keep talking 'cause it's true
Throw the sailors overboard


4: Lie to me

Gonna be a liar?
Lie to me
Yeah
Gonna be a while?
Lie to me
Yeah


5: No association

You've never wanted to know me before
Little or no association
Leave me alone I want to live
Stop sucking the blood right out of me
Couldn't care less if I died right now
Who am I?
I don't know you tell me
You seem to know everything else
Need a pathway need a guide
Contemplating suicide
Wish I could be like you
You say you care but do you?
Do you?
Burn


6: Cemetery

Need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
All the ones who hate
I may be late
Always seem to get the wrong date
Well I guess it's fate
I live in a cemetery
Full of good will and integrity
You see
I have no specialty
Here's your warning
I'll give you click click boom
I live in a cemetery
I need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
I live in a cemetery


7: The Door

Could've been like before
Could've had to lock the door
Make your mind
Let the door let the door swing
Only one
Only one to let the door
Wanted to pretend he's dead
Didn't have to pretend
All this and more
Makes no sense to me
All this and more
Makes me drown
Let me know if it's alright
Let me know if you just might


8: Pop song for us rejects

Addiction's held you back
But you don't care
'Cause you're on a high again
And it's not fair
Consuming alcohol
While I gotta drive
Take a hit from the drugs you stole
And try to survive
Since your life was over
You haven't yet been sober
You have held me back so long
Everything you do is wrong
Now I gotta dump you
Continue my life too
I tried to help you
Don't care what you do
Your state of mind's improved
But we're still apart
I visited you'd moved
Don't know where to start
Your life's an open cold sore
Got to get out the cream
Now I'm thinking positive
But I know it's a dream
You died yesterday


9: Learn to hate

I wanted to be friends with her too
So my relationships could be the same as yours
I hated everyone just like you
Hating you should be introduced as a new law
Take the time to learn to hate
Come and join the mass debate
Take the time, take the time
It's uphill you've gotta climb
You betrayed all the trust I gave you
Now I need therapy to hate a little more
You cannot help me to forgive you
The drugs have given you all kinds of different sores
As you pump drugs into your bloodstream
I sit observing in disgust
Hoping that you will finally come clean
So I don't have to use the gun


10: Petrol & Chlorine

Sinking through dark black holes
It's never gonna end
Open gash in my ribcage
It's never gonna mend
Take another picture off the wall
Sinking deeper everytime I fall
Each day ends quicker
And my mind gets slower too
As my life just fades away
I wouldn't have a clue
Take another draw out from the shelf
I'm too weak to do it by myself
Though you had the world at your feet
You could see it I was blind
Had the perfect job called life
You didn't like it you resigned
Brain's a square of grass
Growing on petrol and chlorine
On petrol and chlorine
You know just what I mean


11: Roses

Drained as drained can be
Life is gone from me
Drained if drained is free
If only I could breathe
Smelling dead roses
Take your mind with you
There's no room for two
I can't handle both
Handle both of you
Smelling dead roses
But I won't fall down
No I won't fall down


12: Nobody came

Laying lost and wounded
Just myself to blame
Have no life and
Being hand-fed pain
Head's a crying wasteland
Filled with shame
Cried for help before and
Nobody came
His father beats him
No hesistation
His face left dripping
In humiliation
As he lies wounded
His father turns to clay
A frozen statue
Can't walk away
His head's a crying wasteland
Filled with shame
Cried for help before and
Nobody came
To see what I can lose again
For being the victim
No


13: The closing

Welcome to the closing
Not for love what for?
It's easy to be taken
But to say
Come again
Leave again
Waste of time
Come again
I'm alone while you're having fun
You have faith while I feel none
Sleep till late to waste half the day
But I'm happy to live this way
And I know that you can't see my pain
But you know that I can your pain
Me and shame are the same
Me and shame take the blame
Me and pain are the same
Me and shame take the blame
