Tell me how it feels Is this my emotions, or is it real? Cause I can't decide in my mind Just get left behind With the meanings and feelings that reside nearby Cause the people get, what the people want I'm just so tired of pleasing everyone Chorus: And if you don't believe in fate It's coming round the corner, just you wait It's gonna take me to where I belong And if the stars sit pretty in the sky Pay no attention to passers by They're gonna take me to where I belong My future's in my hands Got it right by the throat, cause it's all part of the plan And I can't describe what's inside A frail thoughtlessness All part of the mind, and it's all in your head What you see, is what you get You're misunderstanding what's being said Chorus: And if you don't believe in fate It's coming round the corner, just you wait It's gonna take me to where I belong And if the stars sit pretty in the sky Pay no attention to passers by They're gonna take me to where I belong [Guitar Break] Chorus: And if you don't believe in fate It's coming round the corner, just you wait It's gonna take me to where I belong And if the stars sit pretty in the sky Pay no attention to passers by They're gonna take me to where I belong They're gonna take me to where I belong

There's no point dwelling, on what's been and gone We'll just pack our bags, and carry on Thoughtless process, mindless game Take me away, take me away Take me away, oh no Chorus: We're living in the same dreams and the same routines The politics of our minds Will lead us astray, oh no no La la la la la La la la la la oh oh oh Crowded clichés, drowned with dregs Can't help but notice, their thoughtless heads A distant memory, of wasted youth Take me away, take me away Take me away, oh no Chorus: We're living in the same dreams and the same routines The politics of our minds Will lead us astray, oh no no La la la la la La la la la la Sycophantic students sing, praises of the imbecile Sycophantic students sing, praises of the imbecile oh no The TV kills creativity Open the blinds of your mind [Guitar Solo] Chorus: We're living in the same dreams and the same routines The politics of our minds Will lead us astray, oh no no La la la la la

Chorus: Feed me a woman, feed me a man I'll bleed on my own cause You won't take a chance but if you Feed me a woman, feed me a man We'll heal on our own but you must Make them understand [Instrumental] Chorus: Feed me a woman, feed me a man I'll bleed on my own cause You won't take a chance but if you Feed me a woman, feed me a man We'll heal on our own but you must Make them understand Why don't they understand [Guitar Solo] Chorus: Feed me a woman, feed me a man I'll bleed on my own cause You won't take a chance but if you Feed me a woman, feed me a man We'll heal on our own but you must Make them understand

This Town 03:51
In this city of dread There's some things that ought to be said Slimy faces seem to smile Greasy foreheads and tracksuits Leave the town in disrepute In their fashions we must drown, drown Chorus: This girl said to me, you reap what you sow Cause life's gonna catch you, and when it does you'll know You fidget through life, and it'll lead to your demise One look in your eyes, and I can see it's all lies People like to make believe That they live so comfortably But there's no secret to their kind Yes we've seen it all before Monsters hide behind closed doors And on their conscience may it lie, lie Chorus: This girl said to me, you reap what you sow Cause life's gonna catch you, and when it does you'll know You fidget through life, and it'll lead to your demise One look in your eyes, and I can see it's all lies [Guitar Break] Chorus: This girl said to me, you reap what you sow Cause life's gonna catch you, and when it does you'll know You fidget through life, and it'll lead to your demise One look in your eyes, and I can see it's all lies

I'm tired of travelling a long way to home Cause people don't appreciate the things that I show 'em Through the depths and in the dirty fields Do you understand the way that feels? But if I hide away, the people gonna say You're another one of those, with the faces on their clothes Of someone that they don't know Chorus: I, don't wanna be The people around me Cause they, they don't see They don't see, what's around me No they don't Cause I've been menaced by thoughts of the past And as they come and go, well I just can't relax But safe in my heart, I'll always believe That there's a place up there for you and me Cause if I shy away, they're only gonna feel Shoulda woulda coulda, and the feeling starts to sink Gotta keep believing Chorus: I, don't wanna be The people around me Cause they, they don't see They don't see, what's around me No they don't [Guitar Solo] Chorus: I, don't wanna be The people around me Cause they, they don't see They don't see, what's around me I, don't wanna be The people around me Cause they, they don't see They don't see, what's around me No they don't

Now's not the time, the time or the place To watch the pretty girls with the smiles on their faces and I Just let me breathe I don't got the time, don't got the state of mind Dig inside and you'll find That it's just rock 'n' roll But don't underestimate the soul But don't underestimate the soul But don't underestimate the soul Chorus: Cause it's just rock 'n' roll Woah oh oh oh woah Woah oh oh oh woah Woah oh oh oh woah Woah oh oh oh woah Just decide, the feelings that you feel Don't hide, don't turn your back on your mind, you know You might just need it one day Stop and look, and turn around Cause now's not the time to fight the tide But no, don't fear, your pretty rose bush hair Oh no no But don't underestimate the soul But don't underestimate the soul But don't underestimate the soul Chorus: Cause it's just rock 'n' roll Woah oh oh oh woah Woah oh oh oh woah Woah oh oh oh woah Hey, the lifestyle that I lead Ain't got no time for money Ain't got no time for greed Cause it's just rock 'n' roll Woah oh oh oh woah Woah oh oh oh woah Woah oh oh oh woah Woah oh oh oh woah
