Death by precise data packet Wrapped in a plate armored jacket Zeros and ones of instructions One hundred tons of destruction But he believes he's a beautiful machine Needless and selfless but yet prolonging his longing What he has trouble discerning is no anomaly in wiring There's nothing in his programming for a sense of belonging He needs to believe he needs to believe He's a beautiful beautiful machine If only they could give him a mechanical heart He needs to believe he's a beautiful machine He needs to believe he's a beautiful (x2) He needs(x8) He needs to believe If only they could give him a mechanical heart (x2 robot voice)

Bits 03:30
She gives you pixels She gives you bits You give her comments You giver her hits She's got her reasons She must transmit You got your feelings They benefit You know she likes to get all dressed up She knows you wanna have so much fun You know she likes to get, likes to get all dressed up He burns She Burns He burns She burns He burns She burns She gives you pixels She gives you bits You give her comments You giver her hits She's got her reasons She must transmit You got your feelings They benefit You've lost true love and its left you so alone Always pretend always pretend Her bits will give you lovely love that fits She is your digital god Your technological facade She's become your digital god Your technological facade so Send your prayers in hexadecimal and she'll compress her blessings screen deep Send your prayers in hexadecimal and she'll compress her blessings screen deep Check your dignity at the day you were born Get in line today to have your soul shorn Show us some skin, show us some skin Be a friend strike a pose You could pretend, you could pretend Her bits will give you lovely love that fits

Johnny was a breakneck punk Fire blooded was the way to be Sling a few strings on his guitar To prove to the world he's a star Till along came a man in black clothes Waiting right beside that age old crossroads He said,"You got the stuff, its your time. Just sign right here by the dotted line." Johnny cracked a smile through the side of his eye Pulled out a switchblade and said,"Its Mine." Johnny slit his wrist, with blood in his fist Put red to the paper now he's on the list Johnny knew who he was and the devil asked why Johnny said,"So I can live a lie, that's right. So I can live a lie while the rest die buying." All the angry young ladies Will listen to him serenade um on his guitar At the top of his lungs (x2) He'll see the fists a rising To fight the man behind him and they'll fall in line To fight fire with fire (x2) He's just so angry He's just so angry yeah They don't care about your empty soul They don't care They won't give two cents about your ugly role They don't care They don't care, they don't care The kids don't care

Town Pirate 04:43
I won't claim through my music to be a savior of men Don't know how to be a rock god won't even pretend I can't fix all your problems though I'm sure they hurt Never lived in the projects with a dad I could curse Just a kid from a small town with nothing to do Holding shopping cart races so I won't feel so blue No mask or persona just plain ol truth I'm just like you and you're like me too We keep on keeping on Through it all nothing wrong Biding time walk the line Die to try and sigh at life We're no one in particular Just something peculiar A feeling a thought a tune We're going home not a minute too soon Leave all your possessions inside of your home Walk the loneliest road just to go it alone At the end of the day everyone must atone for Where to go from this fork in the road Cause journey is long and the sunset draws near You can't find your way the directions aren't clear You're fresh out of gas and giving up hope Losing yourself on this journey of scope We keep on keeping on Through it all nothing wrong Biding time walk the line Die to try and sigh at life Were no one in particular Just something peculiar A feeling a thought a tune We're going home not a minute too soon I don't have all the answers or a scratch in the glass Just give me one chance and I'll screw up so fast I'm not really anyone that should matter to you Just words and a tune for listening to In the end I conclude all that hear this don't care But to confirm to myself every thing that I fear Come jump on in with my nothing in here Come be no one with me so your mud'll get clear We keep on keeping on Through it all nothing wrong Biding time walk the line Die to try and sigh at life We're no one in particular Just something peculiar A feeling a thought a tune We're going home not a minute too soon

I can't believe it The way you look sometimes Like a trampled flag on a city street Oh yeah And I don't want it The things you're offering me Civilized bar code, quick ID Oh Yeah Cause I'm a twenty first century digital boy I don't know how to read but I got a lot a toys My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual Aint life a mystery I can't explain it Just what you're saying to me Its going ya ya ya ya ya ya ya Oh yeah Cause I'm a twenty first century digital boy I don't know how to live but I got a lot a toys My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual My mommy's on Valium, so ineffectual Aint life a mystery I thought I told you about no control But now I guess I really don't know Then you told me how much you had to suffer Is that really all you have to offer Twenty first century digital boy (x4) Twenty first century digital boy Twenty first century video boy Twenty first century schizoid boy Twenty first century digital boy Yeah All I want is all I really need Written by Brett Gurewitz Origionally performed by Bad Religion

There's a silence that claims a space in me It pulls through hallowed ground Shed our disappointment at a late night establishment We can talk till the sunrise If there's a purpose maybe you could shed some light Should I fly or should I fight Hide your eyes its the end of the night the sun is on its way We'll burn the city down If you still want me around The end is on its way Its a prison My state of mind Between the bored and the juvenile We're making fools of ourselves Thinking we could prove it all Two hundred children with Who knows what on their minds I still can't look into their eyes Hide your eyes its the end of the night the sun is on its way We'll burn the city down If you still want me around The end is on its way Another place another time Maybe in another life I could be your ball n chain

War 04:48
Mortar and stone Arranged in rows Fortifying a lie Frivolous needs Passions to feed A fragile spirit must oblige I build walls I don't want to build I fight wars I don't want to fight Marching around my city I built I watch I'm waiting Marching around my city I know that they can see me Marching around my city In truth wanting and needing I build walls I don't want to build I fight wars I don't want to fight My walls came tumbling down (x4) I am the sum of all these broken parts a mess of human wreckage that'll never restart the straws you grasp in a drunken stupe the lies you wall up in weak little proofs I'm a bad president, a deadly terrorist The embodiment of a generation of narcissists I'm the needy children, the wealthy biggot the stupid kid in wal-mart always throwing a fit I'm a loser and a quitter, ugly and bitter I'm the old shoes that keep giving you blisters I'm the lover of loving and lust for another I'm also the other and the other's ugly mother I'm the disapproving voice in the back of your mind The arrogant hipster with the eyebrows you despise I'm the fool and the fool who follows him The nerdy little kid that doesn't have any friends I'm a picture of duality, the conflict of reality Walled up in a prison of insecurity Protected by barriers of impersonality All that's wrong with all the wrong waiting in me Seven times seven ways he surrounded my hate Seven by seven God made his case My walls came tumbling down I am Jericho

Save Us 06:18
I've heard of wars I've heard the rumors of those wars I see the writing on the wall And you could walk away but Who will save you now Who will save us We were re-written A contradiction dearest friend in face I'll be the last one The only one to fill the space between Love and war forever more A chance for no disgrace Love and war forever more A chance for no disgrace Nation against nation Kingdom against kingdom While the earth shakes with birth pains I'll stand before man and speak of grand plans So mock me, flog me, toss me to the dogs I'll witness your sickness and kiss a few fists. So mock me, flog me, toss me to the dogs Who will save you now Who will save us We were re-written A contradiction dearest friend in face I'll be the last one The only one to fill the space between Love and war forever more A chance for no disgrace Love and war forever more A chance for no disgrace yeah Love never ends, prophecy will Language will cease, knowlege pass away For we know in part, but when perfection arrives Half thinking will end, now we see Indistinctly, as in a mirror But soon, face to face Now I know, in part What soon I will know fully Just as I am, just as I am Fully known Now these three, remain Faith, hope and love But the greatest of these The greatest of these is love

Our lives cannot diminish Till our hearts are finished Till the hateful listen to the power, of love Let go of all your fears You're one of passions many peers So show your stripes And die with pride Keep your gun Right by your side Our lives cannot diminish Till our hearts are finished Till the hateful listen to the power, of love Let go of all your fears You're one of passions many peers So stay with me And pray with me Keep the truth And prove your worth We'll give our lives to prove we are right And we'll die before we can take flight

If we sing the bravest songs That scream louder than guns and bombs Regardless how we hold a tune Who are we by eternal you Let go of all the things we own Walk the straight and narrow road If we follow in the light of truth Who are we by eternal you If we preach of God and ways of old Save a million broken souls Regardless all the hearts we move Who are we by eternal you If we show that all the heavens move By glory of the spoken truth Regardless of the things we prove Who are we by eternal you Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah

A grandkid shows up at the door He scraped his knee and had some scars from before He wants to ride his bike but now there's tears in his eyes He'll ride like the wind but forget how gravity applies His tire's gone flat and he lost a shoe He thinks he broke his arm but its just a little bruise He's on his way back home but it just hurts too much to move He tries to hide his eyes cause his pride feels so abused I've got some bandaids and some milk in the fridge There's some patches out back we'll get your bike on the mend Now just walk off the pain, walk off the pain He sees those eyes And he thinks of her We see those eyes And we think of her Walk off the pain, walk off the pain Walk off the pain, walk off the pain Walk off the pain, walk off the pain Walk off the pain Just walk it off and soon we'll all be.... home
