Playlist Something Corporate

something corporate - constantine

I was hanging upside-down from the overpass
Waiting to discover something about the world
I couldn't get with the program
And I couldn't listen to them
It was like trying to think in reverse

And I don't wanna slide into apathy
And I don't wanna die in captivity
But these monsters
Follow me around
Hunting me down
Try to wipe me out
Wipe me out...
Wipe me out...
Wipe me out...

Yeah I was hiding away underwater
Waiting for distance and buying some time
Trying to be two hundred thousand years younger
So I could excuse myself from human kind
Coz I don't wanna be a container
Or a bastard with a ten page dislaimer
But these monsters
Spin me around
Get me down!
Just try to shut me out
Shut me out...
Shut me out...
Shut me out...

Hold it in your hand
Hold it in your hand
Hold it in your hand...
Believe it me, believe in it, believe...

(shut me out) repeats thruout verse
I was hiding away underwater
Waiting for distance, waiting for time.
And I don't wanna slide into apathy, and I don't
And I don't wanna live in captivity

Ohh ohh ohh, Ohh Ohh Ohhhh (shut me out)

something corporate - 21 and invincible

Some days go by, I wish I were famous
Or maybe religious, so I could go to heaven
Just like you
I can have a big house, complain about taxes
Payoff my ex's, ain't that living
No one makes fun of me, cause I can't stand up for myself

We're 21 and invincible
Can't wait to screw this up
We're 21 and invincible
I'm in power for the hour
I guess today's gonna blow us away

I've got a girlfriend
She tells me she needs me
And she loves me
We'll probably get married
Oh no, and everyone will bite their tongues so hard it bleeds

When mom hears this song
She'll tell me I'm crazy
She'll say to me:
"Son you're much too young, go have some fun don't waste your youth like I did"

We're 21 and invincible
Can't wait to screw this up
We're 21 and invincible
I'm in power for the hour
I guess today's gonna blow us away

And it's been Autumn since the day that I met you
If I hit bottom must I crawl out alone?
And I dont wish you know the secrets of summer at all

We're 21 and invincible
Can't wait to fuck this up
We're 21 and invincible
I'm in power for the hour
I guess today's gonna blow us away

something corporate - airports

You little creep
That?s what she said
These clothes from your mother get bigger everyday
You?ll be nothing
Just like your father
At least that?s what the kids at school say
.
And Janie spends her Christmas at the Airport
She said planes made her feel like she could get away
I spent Christmas
In a detailed sport
I wish I had an airport
Someday
.
Cuz some days are just so hard
We both like space stations and rocket ships
And dream like we were things of the sky
And we dress like kings and queens and lovers and
We shouted out into the night
We never gonna die
.
And I?ve waited here for hours
Hoping that you?d call
My dialer fingers tired
Your machine is full
And I?ve taken eighteen showers
Just to pass the time
And my fucking phone just rang but it wasn?t you on the line
And you don?t seem to mind

We both like space stations and rocket ships
And dream like we we?re things of the sky
And we dress like kings and queens and lovers and
We shouted out into the night
We never gonna die

It?s New Years Eve
I was thinking of the summer
Hoping that at mid night
You wouldn?t be around
And they say children make the greatest soldiers
You do just like your told,
And take up less space
On the ground
I?m not fighting a war
And it seems to me
That we?ve been here before
Where were you?
When I was at the airport
Where were you?
When I wanted to fly
Tell me where were you when I was at the airport
These planes fall from the sky

We both like space stations and rocket ships
And dream like we were things of the sky
And we dress like kings and queens and lovers and
We shouted out into the night
We never gonna die
I wish I had an airport
Someday
Cuz some days are just so hard

something corporate - anything anything

Okay, what is it tonight?
Please just tell me what the hell is wrong!
Do you wanna eat?
Do you wanna sleep?
Do you wanna drown?

Just settle down, settle down, settle down!

I'll give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills
Give you anything you want
Hundred-dollar bills
I'll even let you watch the shows you wanna see
Because you'll marry me marry me marry me!

I'm so sick of you tonight
You never stay awake when I get home
Is there something wrong with me?
Is there something wrong with you?
I really wish I knew, wish I knew, wish I knew!

I'll give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills
I'll give you anything you want
hundred-dollar bill
I'll even let you watch the shows you wanna see
Because you marry me marry me marry me!

When I was young, I learned a game
And love and happiness were the same
Now I'm older and I don't play
I found out the hardest way

I got wasted she got mad
She called me names and she called her dad
He got crazy and I did too
Wondered what the FUCK I did to you

I'll give you candy, give you diamonds, give you pills
Give you anything you want
Hundred-dollar bills!
I'll even let you hear the songs I want to sing
I give you anything anything anything
I give you anything anything anything
I give you anything anything anything ... anything anything anything...

something corporate - as you sleep

Close your eyes
And I will be swimming
Lullabies fill your room
And I will be singing
Singing to only you
Don't forget I'll hold your head
Watch the night sky fading red

But as you sleep
And no one is listening
I will lift you off your feet
I'll keep you from sinking
Don't you wake up yet
'Cause soon I'll be leaving you
Soon I'll be leaving you
But you won't be leaving me

In the car
The radio leaves me searching for your star
A constellation of frustration
Driving hard
Singing my thoughts back to me
Like watching heartache on TV

But as you sleep
And no one is listening
I will lift you off your feet
I'll keep you from sinking
Don't you wake up yet
'Cause soon I'll be leaving you
Soon I'll be leaving you
But you won't be leaving me

Don't forget I'll hold your head
Watch the night sky fading red

But as you sleep
And no one is listening
I will lift you off your feet
I'll keep you from sinking
Don't you wake up yet
'Cause soon I'll be leaving you
Soon I'll be leaving you
But you won't be leaving me

something corporate - babies of the 80 s

I grew up on five-alive
And transformers and slip-n-slide
Toy's R Us and Chuck-e-Cheeze
Disco out and techno in
to synthesize my favorite sin
And here I am on my knees
To get it back again

Babies of the 80's
Little girls in lycra shorts
Tented beds, nerf contact sports
My babies of the 80's
Shout it out just one more time
For the generation that was all mine

We learned to crawl on linoleum floors
Ronald Regan fought Star Wars
But he'll never be Han Solo
Students march Tienemen Square
They took him out hey that's not fair
Dad said it's good to be free
As we watched from our T.V.

Babies of the 80's
Little girls in lycra shorts
Tented beds, nerf contact sports
My babies of the 80's
Shout it out just one more time
For the generation that was all mine

We watched the wall fall down
Woke up early for Bozo the clown
MTV and Nick at Night
And I slept for the first time
Without the light
without the light
without the light

(one two one two three go)

My Babies of the 80's
**Little girls in jelly shoes
got the ferris bueller blues**
My babies of the 80's
this could be something after all
Who knew this could be something after all
Who knew this could be something after all
Who Knew

something corporate - bad day

It?s been a bad day,
another bad day and all I want to do is look at you and know I?mokay.
From where I?m sitting these shoes ain?t fitting
and I?m walking backwards, looking down,
don?t see the sky I see the ground.

Above/ below you look and so you wonder,
where the time has gone of looking up,
tomorrows on its way.
Above/ below you look and so you say,
when I wake up in the morning
is it ?gonna be another ugly day?

She sits in church its 2 pm
and look whose back from work again.
I guess they thought your better off,
without this life, without a job.
From where I?m sitting these shoes ain?t fitting
and I?m going nowhere, killing time,
just trying to feed my bleeding mind.

It?s been a bad day,
another bad day
and I cross my heart and hope to die
these dreams of yours are ?gonna fly.

something corporate - ben franklin s kite

Give me an answer
Why this cancer eats me away
How this restlessness
Could turn into a day.
I fear what comes first
The things that hide in the night
But I'm quaking, and shaking
Even now that it's light

And no I don't feel right
I can see but I've lost my sight
I'm high, so high
Like Ben Franklin's Kite

And maybe you'll find me
On another lonely street
By the smell of summer,
after she rains
Maybe you'll loose me
All together in her heat
Let this humid air
Take away my pain

And no I don't feel right
I can see but I've lost my sight
'cause I'm high, so high
Like Ben Franklin's Kite

Maybe you're weary
You always stand so tall
Maybe you, holier than thou
Will make me crawl
I don't claim to be better
I don't think that you do
But see I'm weak and incessinct
My addictions the proof

And no I don't feel right
I can see but I've lost my sight
I'm high, so high
Like Ben Franklin's Kite

And maybe I'm crazy
But lightning might strike me tonight
And Maybe I'm crazy
But lightning might strike me tonight

something corporate - break myself

I'm on fire
And the day is feeling hopeless
You'd see me burning
But the burning's turning smokeless
Soon I won't feel at all, no
It's electric
The neon hurt inside your phone call
The layered sadness and her madness it revolves
Bringing down the walls where you found love, no

I'm willing to break myself
To shake this hell from everything I touch
I'm willing to bleed for days, my reds and grays
So you don't hurt so much

Now I'm static
As your sky is turning purple and gray
I'm learning that the further that I crawl
The further that I fall, is that okay, no

And you're in pieces
As your world becomes a rainstorm
You've got no shelter, I'm a thousand miles away
If you survive the day you say
Say you're leaving
You say your leaving

Well, I'm willing to break myself
To shake this hell from everything I touch
I'm willing to bleed for days, my reds and grays
So you don't hurt so much
So you don't hurt so much

Never again will we fire this gun, no
Never again you're the only one
Never again but you're already gone.

I'm willing to break myself
I'm not afraid
I'm willing to break myself
I'm not afraid
I'm willing to break myself
I'm not afraid

I'm willing to break myself
To shake this hell from everything I touch
I'm willing to bleed for days, my reds and grays
So you don't hurt so much

So much
So much
So much
So much

something corporate - burnt vacant red

This head ache.. incisions
machine washed your letters and tore up your pictures

This handle.. this feeling
your hatred, the floor, your love, the cieling

I wish I.. could take it.. all back from saying the lines I was faking

You never noticed.. I never said, I'd never need... burnt vacant red

This longing, this tear eye.. I wish I could find you alone on a highway

And tell you.. I'm sorry, I cried at your wedding and rained on your party

And if I, don't make it.. feel bad for one moment, and after that shake it
Cause you never told me , and I never said that I'd never need.. burnt vacat red
Rememberance, sedation.. A plane ticket home and a life of frustration
A gift horse, to glance at.. thrown away food for beggers to stare at
I'm broken, I'm tired.. I still miss the times when I was inspired
I'll never tell you, whats all in my head. And pity me hiding.. burnt vacat red
Intentions, submissions.. an analong clock comprimised my position
The fragile.. the dagger.. still on broken gass I drunkenly stagger
The voices, inside me.. are stand alone fixtures and reasons for hiding
And I never showed you, when we went to bed, that this heart in my chest is
Burnt Vacant Red....

something corporate - bye bye bye

I'm doing this tonight
You're probably gonna start a fight
I know this can't be right
Hey baby come on
I loved you endlessly
And you weren't there for me
So now it's time to leave and make it alone
I know that I can't take no more, it ain't no lie
I wanna see you out that door
Baby bye, bye, bye

I don't want to be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Bye, bye, bye
I don't really want to make it tough
I just wanna tell you that I had enough
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Bye, bye, bye

just hit me with the truth
Oh girl you're more than welcome to
Hey baby come on
I loved you endlessly
And you weren't there for me
So now it's time to leave and make it alone

I know that I can't take no more, it ain't no lie
I wanna see you out that door
Baby bye, bye, bye

I don't really want to make it tough
I just wanna tell you that I had enough
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Bye, bye, bye
I don't want to be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Bye, bye, bye

something corporate - caldecott tunnel

They're closing down the caldecott tunnel,
so tonight I'll dream she's the bridge.
I never knew there'd be distance between us,
what I've done cannot be repeated...
And I've got scars I'm willing to show you,
you had heart that I'll never see,
she had answers to all the wrong questions,
It's funny these answers are all that I need.

Carry me, carry me softly,
let her down easy so she doesn't know.
Carry me, carry me waiting,
Let her down easy so she can let go.

Tore down your freeway,
built her an airplane,
It's crazy the things we made in the sky.
So picture me drowning,
pretending I'm happy,
we end up regreting the things..
We don't try.

Carry me, carry me softly,
let her down easy so she doesn't know.
Carry me, carry me waiting,
Let her down easy so she can let go.

Here with my problems
I don't need the light,
they're bigger than darkness and darker than night.
I leave on a promise of something that shines,
perfection aint perfect

a leaver will find. I find this all the time

Carry me, carry me softly,
let her down easy so she doesn't know.
Carry me, carry me waiting,
Let her down easy so she can let go.

something corporate - cavanaugh park

At Cavanaugh Park
Where I used to sit
All alone in the dark
And dream about things
That I cannot say
You always said destiny
Would blow me away
And nothings gonna blow me away

At Cavanaugh Park
Where you used to take me
To play in the sand
And said to me son
One day you'll be a man
And men can do terrible things
Yes they can

There was never any place
For someone like me
To be totally happy
I'm running out of clock
And that ain't a shock
Some things never do change
Never do change

At Cavanaugh Park
We used to get high
Watching teams as they fought
They loved my friend Adam
But he always got caught
Man that kid made fucking up look cool
Aren't we all so cool no, no.

There was never any place
For someone like me
To be totally happy
I'm running out of clock
And that ain't a shock
Some things never do change
Never do change

Never do change
Never do change
Never do change

At Cavanaugh Park
Where I used to think
That my life would be good
And I would do things
That I thought that I should
And no ones going to tear me down

There was never any place
For someone like me
To be totally happy
I'm running out of clock
And that ain't a shock
Some things never do change

There was never any place
For someone like me
To be totally happy
I'm running out of clock
And that ain't a shock
Some things never do change
Never do change

Never do change
Never do change
Never do change

something corporate - down

Let's get drunk
You can drive us to the harbor
Wish upon a star but
Do you know what stars are?
Balls of fire, burning up the black space
Falling from the landscape
Exploding in the face of God

Let's get crazy,
Talk about our big plans
Places that you're going
Places that I haven't been
Build my walls up
Concrete castle
Keep this kingdom free of hassle, yeah

Yeah
Yeah

But I heard sound, echo in the emptiness
All around, but you can't change this loneliness
Look at what you've found, I'm falling down

Taste the saline rolling down your cheekbone
Tell me that you're alone, tell me on the telephone
Feel your heartbeat, break within your chest now
Try to get some rest now, sleep's not coming easy for a while, child

Child, yeah

But I hear sound echo in the emptiness
All I want, but you can't change this loneliness
Look at what you've found, I'm falling down
Down, down
Down, down

But I hear sound, echo in the emptiness
All around, but you can't change this loneliness
Look at what you've found, I'm falling down
Look at what you've found, I'm falling down
Look at what you've found, I'm falling down

something corporate - drunk girl

I kissed a drunk girl
I kissed a drunk girl yes I did
Kissed a drunk girl on the lips
I let my guard down
How could I have been so dumb?
Her eyes were open
I know I am not the one
I know I am not the one
I know I am not the one

I kissed a drunk girl
Why do I do these things I do to myself?
I kissed a drunk girl
And now I'm sure I could have been anybody else

I went to her house
And everybody there was gone
Her little cousin just passed down on the lawn
We walked to my car
She mouthed "Is everything ok?"
We leaned in slowly
So now I can say

I kissed a drunk girl
Why do I do these things I do to myself?
I kissed a drunk girl
And now I'm sure I could have been anybody else
Anybody else

I pulled away cause you see
I didn't think it would be right
And said "let's save this for some other night"
And she said "No, no, no, no I know that everthing's gonne be just fine"
How could I do this when I wanted her to be all mine?

I kissed a drunk girl
Why do I do these things I do to myself?
I kissed a drunk girl
And now I'm sure I could have been anybody else
Anybody else

I know you don't care about me
I'm sure when all is said and done
And then I go home feeling lonely
You would have had your fun
Do you even remember?

I kissed a drunk girl
Why do I do these things it I do to myself?
I kissed a drunk girl
And now I'm sure, and now I'm sure I could have been anybody else
Anybody else
Anybody else
I could have been anybody else
