Big Time Kill - Effigy

You are the only person I know
But I take you round to people who are on the go
Well you took me to a picture show
And what's the first thing I see
But them burning pictures of my head to toe
I'm not an effigy
I asked you if you would be mad
If I packed my things and moved away to faraway land
Well I packed my things and I moved to this place
And what's the first thing I see
But them burning pictures of me in my face
I'm not an effigy
Well I moved back from this faraway land
Walked right into a room with me mum and me dad
Well I saw my picture hanging on the wall
They tried to rip it and burn it
But it just withstood it all
I'm not an effigy
Well walking around this stinking town
I look up at the buildings and they get me down
Well I look to my left and then I look to my right
And then I realize they've been striking at me
Since the middle of last night
I'm not an effigy

ThornBrain - Revenge

Pushed me off the dirty floor
You watched as my head hit the floor
You watched as i rolled round and round
You watched as i came tumbling down
You watched as i rolled down the stairs
You never wished me - fare thee well!
You watched as i got on my feet
I ran towards her and she started to plead, no!
Ain't got time for what you feel
Ain't got time for what you feel
Ain't got time for what you feel
Ain't got time for what you feel
You did it again
You did it again
You did it again
And again and again
Far below original sin
Far below the state i'm in
Far below malicious crimes
Far below her for the time
Far below
Far below
Far below is the place you'll go
Ain't got time for what you feel
Ain't got time for what you feel
Ain't got time for what you feel
Ain't got time for what you feel
You did it again
You did it again
You did it again
And again and again
Oh went through the window, quiet as a mouse
No sound was stirring throughout the house
I'd heard a noise that made me startle
But i kept on walking down the corridor
Yes the corridor
Yes the corridor
And there you were with a man once more, no!
Ain't got time for what you feel
Ain't got time for what you feel
Ain't got time for what you feel
Ain't got time for what you feel
You did it again
You did it again
You did it again
And again and again
You did it again
You did it again
You did it again
And again and again

I wanted to tell her but i stuck to my lies
I wanted to tell her till i looked in her eyes
I wanted to tell her but i stuck to my lies
I wanted to tell her till i looked in her eyes
I wanted to tell her

You said you needed full time help
'cause you're all alone
I said I'd work for nothing at all
If i just could take you home
And now you're taking applications
For your love
You wanted certain specifications
I circled the one that said all the above
Work
For Love
Finally got my resume
And you said you'd reviewed it some other day
I said, 'girl, hey, do it if you dare
Where I'd like to go our love will flare'
Finally my letter arrived
And i knew you would be mine
Instead i had to prove my turf
For the first two weeks work overtime
Work
For Love
You've got to work
You've got to work for love (had enough, had enough?)

Doomdriver - Here We Go

This one's fought the trendy set
This one's fought the feds
This one's fought the people baby
And tried to ruin my plans
This one's fought the radio
This one's fought the press
This one's fought the people baby
And made my life such a mess
Whoa
Here We Go
We Gotta go
We Gotta go
Whoa
Here We Go
We Gotta go
We Gotta go
This one's fought the little girls
This one's fought the boys
This one's fought the people baby
And told me all their lies
Whoa
Here We Go
We Gotta go
We Gotta go
Whoa
Here We Go
We Gotta go
We Gotta go
I will press the button
And they will go away
But don't forget to say your prayers
Before I blow them all away, I say
Whoa
Here We Go
We Gotta go
We Gotta go
Whoa
Here We Go
We Gotta go
We Gotta go

Sawtooth - What He Say
04:46

I've seen many countries
Argue about human lives
But one thing that stays the same is
The clubs are always full at night
Pick out any far-out place
Like kenya or swaziland
Doesn't matter what the place
They'll still be dancing to the band
What He Say
Say you've found a homeland?
Move to it, move to ii
Say you've found a clubland?
Get to it, get to it
Now you've got a song?
Groove to it, groove to it
Got to find a partner
Just get to it, get to it
What He Say
Let's Dance
I've seen many a race of people
Argue many things before
But there is one language that
Gets you understood for sure
Not a language of the mouth
It's only for the feet
Grab a Russian by the hands
And he will feel the need
What He Say
Let's Dance

Haven't you ever felt this way before?
(with a perfect stranger?)
The look on her face, it just gives her away, she can't take any more
Hoist up your white flag, call for a truce
Try separation, we both stand to lose
She looks in your eyes as we say our goodbyes and she says
Say you're sorry
Say you're sorry (tell me, tell me)
Say you're sorry (right from the heart)
Say you're sorry
Say you're sorry
Think of the times when we couldn't wait to get home
(from the arms of danger)
Funniest part was the danger was right in our being home
You hoist up your white flag, you seem so amused
Living in riddles without giving clues
Looks in your eyes as you say your goodbyes and she says
Say you're sorry
Say you're sorry (tell me, tell me)
Say you're sorry (right from the heart)
Say you're sorry
Say you're sorry
We've had our problems and we've had our fights
I was the wrong one and you were the right
No more fighting, it ends tonight
It's your turn to say you're sorry
Say you're sorry
Say you're sorry (say you're sorry)

So many years i just suffered through the tears
Knowing one day i'd wake up wishing i had never met her
But as the time goes by my hope keeping playing every day
As i laugh to myself, 'i just should have known better'
There's no more laughter as i think about the other girl
It's a slap in my face as i'm opening her letter
She's doing fine now with two kids and another man
As i cry out loud, 'i just should have known better'
She was the reason i was living every day
I would ride upon a white horse in my quest to try and find her
But now it's too late, i don't care if i die tonight
Cos a voice keeps ringing in my heart, 'i should have known better'
I learned my lesson this time
Lonliness and a broken heart
Should've known right from the start

She was all alone
She looked round and around
Forever searching
Incessant drudgery
But she had that someone wrapped up in a box
Sticking pins and needles through the tiny cracks
She had someone she owned
And it's hard to confess
I was that someone
And she could care less
She's got (she's got)
A cause (she thinks she has)
A cause
Okay...
Least i have my address
In her stranglehold
Lived my life around her
And i lived my life as i was told
Had me coming and going and coming and going like a toy
Turned me from a man into a sniveling little boy
She's got (she's got)
A cause (she thinks she has)

Well i'm hiding my eyes from the morning sun
And i keep on working till the work is all done
But a voice in my head keeps ticking away
As the sweat's hosed down from yet another day
Well he works hard
And he lives hard
And he breaks his back without nothing to gain
While the boss man sits around and drinks champagne
All day (you work and you work and you work and)
In life, there's just one transition
All day (you work and you work and you work and)
In life, there's just one decision
Well i'm peeling the blisters off my working hand
Is that what it takes to make you understand?
That it's something you read, not something you meant
To be slaving away without a shred of integrity
He worked hard
And he lived hard
And he broke his back without nothing to say
While the man in control was just laughing away
All day (you work and you work and you work and)
In life, there's just one transition
All day (you work and you work and you work and)
In life, there's just one decision
Was it something you read?
Was it something you meant?
Was it something you said?
Or was it heaven sent?
All day (you work and you work and you work and)
In life, there's just one transition
All day (you work and you work and you work and)
In life, there's just one decision

Cold
You know the yolk it's spreading from
You laugh as people scatter 'bout
Surrounded by a veil of stars
You realize your life is dark
Earth gets colder every day
If scientists could have their way
They'd study us from far away
And watch as people's minds decay
Cold
Your body's in the hands of fools
With swimming pools and low iq's
There's nothing to see, nothing to do
Buy your stocks and sell your jewels
Bill collectors stole my mail
My wife and kids are all for sale
I hope to god i go to jail
And no one can come up with bail
Cold life
I can't control my buried thoughts
The slightest thing makes me distraught
I'm like the people i once fought
My every action's being bought
Robot trainers earn their pay
As mutant kids go out to play
It's such a pretty pretty day
With orange nights and days of grey
Cold
I've now become a nervous wreck
I'm getting closer to my death
I keep expecting my last breath
As all my friends just laugh and jest
The earth is such a filthy place
And human such an awful race
And i'd rather live in outer space
Where death goes at a slower pace
Cold life
