It don't really matter Gonna find out for yourself No it don't really matter (ooh) Gonna leave this thing to somebody else If they were missionaries Real time visionaries Sitting in a Chinese stew To view my dis-infatuation I know that I'm a classic case Watch my dis-enchanted face Blame it on the Falun Gong They've seen the end and you can't hold on now 'Cause it would take a lot more hate than you To end a fascination Even with an iron fist More than you got to rule a nation When all I've got is precious time It don't really matter Guess I'll keep it to myself Said, it don't really matter It's time I look around for somebody else 'Cause it would take a lot more greed than you Have got to starve a massive nation Even with your iron fist More than you got to rule a nation When all we've got is precious time More than you got to fool a nation But all I've got is precious time It don't really matter I guess you'll find out for yourself No, it don't really matter So you can hear it now from somebody else You think you got 'em all locked up inside And if you beat 'em enough, they'll die It's like a walk in the park from a cell While you're keeping your own kind in hell When your Great Wall rocks, blame yourself While their arms reach out for your help And you're out of time

It's not as you're thinking Or as you've imagined To live in the shade of Beliefs that were fashioned To leave you in slavery and drain out your soul But what can i do when there's so many liars That crawl through your veins Like millions of spiders That seek out their victims And who is the wiser Watch out Got you Oh my god I can't deny this I've been taught just to kill and fight this To bury it deeper where nobody can find this Like nobody wanted to know So give it away Like they're not going to fuck you How long can you bear him To come back and haunt you To burn past your feelings And cause you to suffer You're starting to bleed They don't give you up Before its too late What will you offer In way of a healing I'm so confused abused misused Oh my god I can't deny this I've been taught just to kill and fight this To bury it deeper where nobody can find this Like nobody wanted to know Ooh, if it opens your eyes This is better than a strong compromise I was willing to be lost in the shuffle If only you had let me know Ooh, if it opens your eyes This is better than the last compromise I was willing to be lost in the shadows If only you had let me know And they won't give in Because they know what they're after A kick in the face Like its all that would matter Oh my god I can't deny this I've been taught just to kill and fight this To bury it deeper where nobody can find this Like nobody wanted to know Ooh, if it opens your eyes This is better than a good compromise I was willing to be lost in the shuffle If only you had let me know Ooh, we'll be done with the show Like the tides out on the ocean The waves already set in motion The only one in the game who's lost is you

No one ever told me when I was alone They just thought I'd know better, better No one ever told me when I was alone They just thought I'd know better, better The hardest part this troubled heart Has never yet been through, now Was to heal the scars That got their start inside someone like you, now Boy, had I known or I'd been shown, back when How long it'd take me To break the charms that brought me harm And all but would erase me I never would hope that I could, no matter what you'd pay me Replay the part You stole my heart I should have known you're crazy If all I knew was that with you I'd want someone to save me It'd be enough, but just my luck I fell in love and maybe All that I wanted was Now I know you better You know I know better Now I know you better So bittersweet, this tragedy Won't ask for absolution This melody inside of me still searches for solution A twist of fate, the change of heart cures my infatuation A broken heart, to provide the spark for my determination No one ever told me when I was alone They just thought I'd know better, better No one ever told me when I was alone They just thought I'd know better, better All that I wanted was Now I know you better You know I know better Now I know you better I never wanted you to be so full of anger I never wanted you to be somebody else I never wanted you to be someone afraid to know themselves I only wanted you to see things for yourself All that I wanted was Now I know you better Now we all know better All that I wanted was Better, better, better, better Better, better, better, better No one ever told me when I was alone (Better, better) They just thought I'd know better, better... (Better, better) I was alone... (Better, better) (Better, better)

Blood in the water (I see blood in the water) (Oh, I see) Blood in the water (I see blood in the water)

When all is said and done We're not the only ones Who look at life this way That's what the old folks say But every time I'd see them Makes me wish I had a gun If I thought that I was crazy Well I guess I'd have more fun (Guess I'd have more fun) Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah The Catcher In The Rye again Won't let you get away from him (It's just) Another day like today You decide Cause I don't have to And then they'll find And I won't ask you At anytime Or long hereafter If the cold outside's As I'm imagining It to be Oh no Na na na na na na na na, Na na na na na na na Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah The Catcher In The Rye again Won't let you get away from him (It's just) Another day like today When all is said and done We're not the only ones Who look at life this way That's what the young folks say As if they'd ever change As that were mine to say But every time I'd see them Makes me wish I had a gun If I thought that I was crazy Well, I guess I'd have more fun 'Cause what used to be's not there for me And ought to for someone that belonged (That belonged) Insane Like I do Na na na na na na na na, Na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na, Na na na na na na na On an ordinary day Not in an ordinary way All at once, the song I heard No longer would it play For anybody Or anyone That needed comfort from somebody Needed comfort from someone Who cared To be Not like you And unlike me And then the voices went away from me Somebody set the wheels in motion That haunt our memories You were the instrument You were the one How a body Took a body You gave that boy a gun Took our innocence Beyond our stares Sometimes, the only thing we counted on When no one else was there

All the love in the world couldn't save you All the innocence inside You know I tried so hard to make you Oh, well to make you change your mind And it hurts too much to see you And how you left yourself behind You know I wouldn't want to be you Now that's a hell I can't describe So now I wander through my days Tryin' to find my ways to the feelings that I felt I saved for you and no one else And though as long as this road seems I know it's called the street of dreams But that's not stardust on my feet It leaves a taste that's bittersweet That's called the blues I don't know just what I should do Everywhere I go, I see you Though it's what you planned This much is true: What I thought was beautiful Don't live inside of you, anymore I don't know just what I should do Everywhere I go, I see you Though it's what you planned This much is true: What I thought was beautiful Don't live inside of you, anymore What this means to me is more than I know you believe What I thought of you, now, has cost more than it should for me What I thought was true before, were lies I couldn't see What I thought was beautiful, is only memories Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh Oh oh oh

Broken glass and cigarettes Writing on the wall It was a bargain for the summer And I thought I had it all I was the one who gave you everything The one who took the fall You were the one who would do anything The one who can't recall Where she was while she was sleeping In another woman's bed Or the doctor's, or the lawyer's Or a stranger that she met If there's nothing I can gain from this Or anything at all It'd be the lovin' that you gave me When I thought I'd heard it all It was a long time for you (It was a long time) It was a long time for me (It was a long time) It'd be a long time for anyone but (It was a long time) Looks like it's meant to be Social class and registers Cocaine in the hall All the way from California On the way to your next call To those non-negotiations To simulate a cause For the betterment of evils (for the betterment of evils) And your ways around the laws That keep you up and sitting pretty On a pedestal or bed And now you're sleeping like an angel Never mind who you gave head If there's something I can make of this Or anything at all It'd be the devil hates a loser And you thought you had it all [Chorus] It was a wrong time for you (It was the wrong time) It was a wrong time for me (It was the wrong time) It was the wrong time for anyone, but (It was the wrong time) Looks like I've got to see for myself If I could go back in time to the place in my soul There, all alone Lonely teardrops, ooh Are calling you But I don't want to know it, now 'Cause knowing you It won't change a damn thing But there was a time... Yeah, there was a time Didn't wanna know it all Didn't wanna know it all I don't wanna know it, now Yeah, there was a time Didn't wanna know it all Didn't wanna know it all I don't wanna know it, now Oh I would do anything for you There was a time I would do anything for you I would do anything for you There was a time Yeah, there was a time Didn't wanna know it all Didn't wanna know it all I don't wanna know it, now Yeah, there was a time Didn't wanna know it all Didn't wanna know it all I don't wanna know it, now

I feel discouraged ...it gets taught Sometimes I feel discouraged I felt this...fear He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone. No, never alone, no, never alone Let's get somethin' straight, alright? He promised never to leave me This whole thing is fucked up!
