SESSION
I don't know when it got this
way
I don't know how long she's gonna
stay
Every week it's the same in her
room
That's why I came
Here I go, here I go again
Our rendezvous never seem to
end
I know where I'll be, I'll make
this confession
Back in her bed for another
goddamn session
Chorus:
I'll never learn
God knows I try
Keep coming back for session
And I don't know why
I'll never learn, I'll never
see
Just tell me why these sessions
got a hold on me
Some might say it's a fling
For all I know it don't mean a
thing
Either way I can't complain
Ain't no strings
Guess I got it made
Here I go, I go again
Our renezvous never seem to
end
I know where I'll be
I'll make this confession
Back in her bed for another
goddamn session

WE
ARE ONE
We are one with ourselves
We don't give a shit about anyone
else
Well it won't be wrong until our
day in the sun is gonna stop
The walls come tumbling down
Refrain:
We are one
We are free
We are headed for obscurity
We are one
We are weak
We are gonna make ourselves
extinct
Let it go
We're gonna let it go
It's real, we are one
You know it's true
Don't fuck with us or we'll fuck
with you
It's a mentality that kills the
best
We better stop
The walls come tumbling down
Refrain
We are one and it won't be
news
When we hang ourselves with one
collective noose
Well, it won't be wrong until our
day in the sun is gonna stop
The walls come tumbling down
Refrain
The bigger they are
The harder they fall

KICK
HIM WHEN HE'S DOWN
Hey, you're a riddle
I say as I move aside
(Like I really need your
advice)
But you won't leave it alone
Little men try but don't get a
lot done
Living in sin doesn't move me
either way
I get a feeling you're so
vague
Like I said before
LIttle men come when anything
goes
Refrain:
When the rain comes I sit home
and pray
Make it all numb
I wish it all away
All I really need is just
somewhere to hide away
Kick him when he's down
Here alone I'll put up and
fight
Kick him when he's down
Beat me all the way I'll take it
all night
Kick him when he's down
Hey, don't worry, I'll get along
home alright
Hey, everybody's supposed to be
the same
So how come they're so lame?
It's like taking a fall
Keep on running back into that
wall
Awake in a dream, get up and go
to work
But I'm feeling like such a
jerk
Like I said before
Little men come when everything
goes
Refrain
Hey, you're a riddle I say as I
move aside (Like I really need
your advice)
But you won't leave it alone
Little men try but don't get a
lot done
Living in sin doesn't move me
either way
I get a feeling you're so
vague
Like I said before
Little men come when anything
goes
Refrain

TAKE
IT LIKE A MAN
When you won't go along
Some will feel like you can't
find your way
Heaven knows
Heaven knows I've seen it all
before
Now don't get me wrong
I've seen many a life gone
astray
When someone goes
All your bows won't make it any
better so let it go
Refrain:
Shut up and take it like a
man
You need us to get a life
For your own good we'll take you
by the hand
'Cause you need a little more
Maybe no one will say it
Maybe no one's aware it goes
on
All I know
All I know it's like going off
the deep end
Could you make a decision?
Could you think for yourself and
go on?
Everyone knows
Everyone knows you've got to fit
into the mainstream so save your
woes
Refrain
Close your eyes
Look away now
Make believe while you can
So you'd best go along
Don't let on if you can't find
your way
Many more
Many more do it for you
Because heaven knows
Heaven knows it's like playing
with fire
Your life's a throw
Refrain

GET
IT RIGHT
I've been told that to get
what you want
You just gotta give what you
can
But I know for what I want it
don't come easy as that
They say, "Look out, boy
Tomorrow comes and things will
look better by then."
But I'll look out the window
Then look in the mirror at the
same old me again
Refrain:
Still can't get it right
And for all I know
I swear I never will
Do you think you'd sell your
soul
To just have one thing to turn
out right?
For the thousandth time you
turnand find
That it just makes no difference
to try
Like Holden Caulfield, I tell
myself
There's got to be a better
way
Then I lay in bed and stare at
the ceiling
Dream of brighter days
Refrain
No way out
Same old stuff always drags me
down
Now way out
Never gonna get it

DIRTY
MAGIC
In my own simple way
I think she wants me only
She said," Come over right
away."
But she's just not that way
Her little soul is tolen
See her put on her brand new
face
Refrain:
Pull the shades
Razor blades
You're so tragic
I hate you so but love you
more
I'm so elastic
The things you say
Games you play
Dirty magic
I should know better than to
think I'd reach inside her
It's all acloudy kind of daze
She's not so sweet today
She mocks me, I'm no fighther
It all just seems like such a
waste
It's oversimplified
Refrain

HYPODERMIC
When you're feeling low
Hypodermic's where you go
WHen you're with yourself
You wish yo ucould be someone
else
Refrain:
Can't you see like you saw
anymore?
Can't you feel like you felt
before?
Can't you face anything
anymore?
When life's a waste
Run away
Your life's a waste
Run away
Once you get a ride
Doesn't matter where you lied
Once you shoot it in
Doesn't matter who you've
been
You're reeaching in but you don't
know where to begin
All your dance and song won't
matter when you're gone
Refrain

BURN
IT UP
I think I'm burning up
inside
I think I'll take a little
ride
I'm gonna light up everything in
sight
I'll drive on by your yard
And throw a Molotov cocktail at
your car
Then another in the local bar
Refrain:
Ignition
They call it an obsession but I
think it's kinda bitchin'
I think it's kinda neat
Yeah, I'm a pyro
I wanna burn it up
Yeah, I'm a pyro
Tonight this 'hood will be a
pyre
I'm gonna set your house on
fire
I'll dance around the pretty
flames
Such a wonderful game!
I want to make a tiki torch
I'm gonna throw it on your
porch
Then I'm gonna run away
And come back another day
So many houses, so little
time
So many reasons, I'm not a
crime
I'd like to set you up
I'd like to set you up
Refrain

NO
HERO
Once you said you'd stick to
it until the end
I guess you lied, the call it
suicide
Now you're gone
What was so wrong that you
couldn't find a way to carry
on?
Second guess
Did I do my best?
There was a friend I had
Refrain:
Johnny was a weirdo
So what did you expect?
I ain't no fucking hero
I'm just trying to survive
myself
I should have known you went
through it alone
I wonder why did you even
try?
You could have come to me
I would have helped you see
You could have found a way to
carry on
Second guess
Did I do my best?
There was a friend I had..
Refrain
Johnny's strange behavior was a
tip-off, they say
But I ain't no fucking savior
I'm just living day by day
Little things, little lives
hanging 'til the end
I say it doesn't really mean
nothing
Telling truth, telling lies
I used to have a friend
I say it don't really mean
nothing
And I can't let this feeling
go
Let this feeling go
Let this feeling go

L.A.P.D.
When cops are taking care of
business I can understand
But the L.A. story's gone way out
of hand
Their acts of aggression, they
say they're justified
But it seems an obsession has
started from the inside
They're shooting anyone who even
tries to run
They're shooting little kids with
toy guns
Take it to a jury but they don't
give a damn
Because the one who tells the
truth is always the policeman
Refrain:
Beat all the niggers
Beat whoever you see
Don't need a reason
(We're) L.A.P.D
The city of L.A. feels like a
prison
With helicopters overhead and
bullets whizzing by
Martial law ain't no solution
Police brutality's just social
pollution
Beat all the white trash
Beat whoever you see
Don't need a reason
(We're) L.A.P.D
They say they're keeping the
peace
But I'm not buying it because a
billy club ain't much of a
pacifier
"Protecting your freedom"
Now that's just a lie
It's an excuse for power that's
more like an alibi
Law and order doesn't really
matter
When you're the one getting
bruisedand battered
You take it to a jury, they'll
throw it in your face
Because justice in L.A. comes in
a can of mace
Refrain

NOTHING
FROM SOMETHING
Things are coming down on
me
They never seem to let it be
It seems like everything I say
just starts another fight
The pressure's building up
inside
I gotta let it out tonight
Shattered glass will cure my ills
and make me feel alright
Refrain:
Gonna break it
And never stop running
Making nothing from something
Making nothing from something
Cut me for the lion's share
It's mindless, but I don't
care
'Cause no matter what I say
I'm in a another fight
Take more shit, I've had
enough
Tonight I'm gonna rip it up
Broken windows cure my ills and
make me feel alright
Refrain

FOREVER
AND A DAY
Look at me while I look at
you
Seeing eye to eye we can never
do
You try to tell me what is
right
I may not know a lot but I know
one thing
Refrain
If you've got the answer
Then I don't want to know
If you've got the answer
Just keep it your own
I wonder why our world is
ablaze
Sometimes I speak aloud to hear
what people have to say
I try to have an open mind
But your brain and mouth must not
be connected
If you've got the answer
Then I don't want to know
If you've got the answer
Just leave me alone
I would be patient but it takes
so long
I don't want all this
misinformation
All the words that you say
Lean on me while I lean on
you
If we destroy each other
We might save a life or two
A little sun, a little shine
Separates us both by forever and
a day
Refrain
If you've got a vision
Then I don't want to see
If you've got a notion
Don't waste it on me
