streetlight manifesto - 1234 1234

You, you try, you try to get by,
you?re never going to pull it off,
you shouldn't even try.
You're a wet cigarette,
you?re always second best,
they're never going to give a shit about anybody but themselves.
So you fight for them to realize,
there's more to life,
there's more to you,
there's more than meets the eye.
And when you're done, the battle's been won,
you sit back, you smile,
And this is what you hum, you hum,
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh,
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh.

(Years!) go by, the time it does fly, (Whoa oh oh)
Every single second is a moment in time, (Whoa oh oh)
that passes oh so quick, and it seems like nothing, (Whoa oh oh)
but when you're looking back, well it amounts to everything,
(Whoa) I've got myself, I've got my friends, (Whoa oh oh)
I've got my little family, but that's not where it ends, (Whoa oh oh)
This one goes out to you, it goes out to everyone, (Whoa oh oh)
It's in the name of honesty because life has just begun.

Look around little brother can you tell me what you see?
You're a big boy now, so take responsibility,
you never had it hard, but now it's getting tough,
so you (whine! whine! whine!) and you say you've had enough.
You say I'm full of shit, that I'm a hypocrite
I shouldn't talk when I can't take the advice that I give,
Well maybe you're right, but open your eyes:
the main difference here is that I (try! try! try!)

Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh.
Whoa, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh.

streetlight manifesto - 9mm and a three piece suit

(WHA!)
Well I know I shouldn't care,
But I do and I don't,
And I always crack a smile,
When I see your punk rock clothes,
And you try, try, but you never fit in,
And you're never going to so pack it up, pack it in, so there.

Steve took three or four,
Heather took more,
Lit a cigarette,
Now they're walking out the door,
With a semi automatic and a ski mask on,
And they look to one another,
And they say to themselves,
"What fun."

Well I never want to bother,
And I never want to hover,
Over his or her affairs,
Cause (that's not fair!),
And it seems to me that your,
Running out of time, and it seems to me,
Like you're never going to do what?s right.

Jack dropped 21,
Jill 22,
The look in his eye said,
"Brother what are you going to do,
with a 9mm and a three piece suit?"
They look to one another and say,
"Hey motherfucker, who's the fool.?"

(BRRRAH!)

(WHOA!)

streetlight manifesto - a better place a better time

and so she wakes up
in time to break down
she left a note up on the dresser
and she's right on time
you don't know anything
right or wrong
i said i know
and she said so
i want to panic
but i've had it
so i go
you don't owe anything to anyone

but don't take your life
because it's all that you've got
you'd be better off just up and leaving
if you don't think they will stop

and when you wake up
everything is going to be fine
i guarantee that you wake up in a better place
and in a better time
so you're tired of living
and you feel like you might give in
well don't
it's not your time

looking through the paper today
looking for a specific page
don't want to find her full name followed by dates
because when i left her alone
she made a sound, like a moan
"you're known by everyone for everything you've done"
fuck buying flowers for graves
i'd rather buy you a one way non-stop
to anywhere
find anyone
do anything
forget and start again, love
she said she won't go
and that's that
it hurts too much to stand by
you've got to stop and draw a line
and everyone here has to choose a side tonight
the moment of truth is haunting you
don't forget your family
regardless of what you choose to do
you can't decide
and they're screaming "why won't you?"
i'll start the engine but i can't take this ride for you
i'll draw the bath and i'll load your gun
but i hope so bad that you bathe and hunt

annie's tired of forgetting about today and always planning for tomorrow (tomorrow)
annie says "the saddest day i came acrosss was when i learned that life goes on without me" (without me)
annie says "if everyone has someone else, then i ain't got nobody's love to save me" (save me)
annie says "i think i'll pass away tonight, because it seems i'll never get it right if it's just me" (just me)

and when you wake up
everything is going to be fine
i guarantee that you wake up in a better place
and in a better time
so you're tired of living
and you feel like you might give in
well don't
it's not your time

annie says she wouldn't mind if they never find a cure for all her problems (her problems)
annie says as long as she has someone near to make it clear she does not need to solve them (solve them)
"oh, this loneliness is killing me
it's filling me with anger and resentment (resentment)
i'm turning into someone that i never thought i'd have to be again"

and when you wake up
everything is going to be fine
i guarantee that you wake up in a better place
and in a better time
so you're tired of living
and you feel like you might give in
well don't
it's not your time

and in a better time
so you're tired of living
and you feel like you might give in
well don't
it's not your time

and even if it was
i wouldn't let you go
you could run run run run but i will follow close
someday you will say "that's it, that's all"
but i'll be waiting there with open arms to break your fall
i know that you think that you're on your own
but just know that i'm here
and i'll lead you home
if you let me
she said "forget me"
but i can't

streetlight manifesto - a moment of silence

moment of silence please for those who never get the chance
they show up to the party but they're never asked to dance
the losers the liars the bastards the thieves
the cynicists, the pessimists and those that don't believe in nothing

i never met a loser that i didn't see eye to eye with, i declare
i stare into your eyes
but you look right past me into the air
what's it like to stand in your shoes?
to have never felt the belt of somebody's abuse?
i take the bottle and i tip it to all my heroes that have passed
alas, you have left us but your stories they will last
uninspired by the recruiting call
independent we stand
indepentend we fall

so tell me: how long do you think you can go before you lose it all?
before they call you bluff and watch you fall?
i don't know but i'd like to think i had control
at some point but i let it go and lost my soul
sit tight but the revolution's years away
i'm losing faith and i'm running low on things to say
so i guess i have no choice but to regurgitate
the tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite
oh! to have died that night i realized it wouldn't last!
our days were numbered and the reaper tipped the hourglass
the final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed
oh! to the west, you don't know what it is you're running from
and everybody's laughing loud
your last chance to make your mother and father proud

oh, oh, oh...

a moment of silence please for those who never get the chance
they show up to the party but they're never asked to dance
the losers the liars the bastards the thieves
the cynicists, the pessimists and those that don't believe in nothing

they said "a pox
upon your house
upon your family and everyone you knew
and everyone you'll ever meet"
i bet they think we wish we joined when we could
but we do what we want we don't do what we should
now everybody's laughing
because they're thinking they in on something i don't get
don't forget
i connect and i read every word you said
like a child who believes he was wronged
if you hate me so much then stop singing my songs

so tell me: how long do you think you can go before you lose it all?
before they call you bluff and watch you fall?
i don't know but i'd like to think i had control
at some point but i let it go and lost my soul
sit tight but the revolution's years away
i'm losing faith and i'm running low on things to say
so i guess i have no choice but to regurgitate
the tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite
oh! to have died that night i realized it wouldn't last!

the final mayday of our sinking ship had come and passed
oh! to the west, you don't know what it is you're running from

your last chance to make your mother and father proud

oh, oh, oh...

streetlight manifesto - as the footsteps die out forever

She was diagnosed on a Friday,
The kids were almost home,
The kids were on their way back home from school,
Lying face down in the gutter,
Of unaccomplished dreams,
And broken memories of things to come.
"Sorry ma'am, I really am. I had to break the news.
I had to make the phone call to tell you that you're due,
You know where, I'll tell you when,
And I suggest you start living these next three weeks,
The best way that you can."

Every night for three long weeks,
She?d roam the hallways half asleep,
And as the footsteps fade away,
In my mind, I could swear, I could swear, I heard her say:
Don't wait for me, you?ve got a lot to do, you?ve got a lot to be,
And in the end maybe, I'll see you there.

Lost her strength on a Saturday,
Spent the day in bed.
Yeah, I'm fine; it's just the flu she said, with a smile,
But when they turned their backs,
The tears would flow.
She knew she only had a while, to live,
To breathe, to be, to see, to bleed,
To stand on her own two weakened feet,
"And so I pray everyday: don't take my mother away"

Every night for three long weeks,
She?d roam the hallways half asleep,
And as the footsteps fade away,
In my mind, I could swear, I could swear, I heard her say:
Don't wait for me, you?ve got a lot to do, you?ve got a lot to be,
And in the end maybe, I'll see you there.

Every night for three long weeks,
She?d roam the hallways half asleep,
And as the footsteps fade away,
In my mind, I could swear, I could swear, I heard her say:
Don't wait for me, you?ve got a lot to do, you?ve got a lot to be,
And in the end maybe, I'll see you there.
And in the end you know ill see you,
There and in the end I?ll see you there.

Don?t wait for me, you?ve got a lot, to do you?ve got a lot, to be,
And in the end maybe, I?ll see you there.

streetlight manifesto - big sleep

why do we cry when you know how the story ends?
how can you laugh when you know that it hurts your friends?
we've all been there once but you never left
this is me coming back back to get you out
to say goodbye to make amends
i'm not leaving this place
unless i'm leaving with you
you're the only person with a half decent heart here
and i know you will put it to use
until it's gone, gone, gone
gone, gone, gone
gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, yeah

na, na, na...

and you close your eyes for the big sleep
i hope you think of me

na, na, na...

and if you go, i'll be gone
and you'll be left alone to live your life, as you please
but someday you'll agree that i was always meant for you
you were always meant for me and you will see: that you're impossible
you're impossible
you're impossible
you're impossible

me and mr. dylan on the ride home
we had a heart to heart about life
but neither him or me could decide for ourselves
if we wanted to outlive that night
like two children on the playground of the unconfessed souls
abandoned by our mothers and our lovers and our foes
if only we were brave enough to live the lives we stole
what a wonderful world this could be!

na, na, na...

and you close your eyes for the big sleep
i hope you think of me

na, na, na...

and if you go, i'll be gone
and you'll be left alone to live your life, as you please
but someday you'll agree that i was always meant for you
you were always meant for me and you will see: that you're impossible
you're impossible
you're impossible
you're impossible

so how many more examples until we break?
how many sacrifices must we make?
because we've all been there once before
and it looks like we've returned once more
is this the beginning or the end?

the last two soldiers on the battlefield
survivors of the war
they aim at one another while their mothers beg the lord
"if you're listening, i'm missing him
so somehow bring him home
how did it come to this?"
so the soldiers lift their rifles
they're aiming at the head
they think of their first love before they take their final breaths
and somewhere in the distance
they hear something someone said: "how did it come to this?"

and as you close your eyes for the big sleep
i hope you think of me, yeah

na, na, na...

and you close your eyes for the big sleep
i hope you think of me

na, na, na...

streetlight manifesto - birds flying away

I left my country when i was nineteen
1925
And drifted to a town on the Cuban coast
Met a woman who became my life
And oh when i saw her
Darkness fled from me
And flew like a blackbird into the sun
On the day she married me
Dear god

But now the drumbirds come for me
Oh now the drumbirds come for me
Lord give me forgiveness
For all that i've done
Forgive me now of the weight i bear
Don't keep me on the run
Dear god
Dear god

I remember climbing up those shoulders
Coming up under you like a lion
Coming down like we were dying
Dear god

I left my country when i was nineteen
1925
And drifted to a town on the Cuban coast
Met a woman who became my life
And oh when i saw her
Darkness fled from me
And flew like a blackbird into the sun
On the day she married me
Dear god
Dear god
I remember climbing up those shoulders

streetlight manifesto - day in day out

I don't want to barge in on your secrecy (see)
Dependency (see)
It means nothing to me;
I don't want to hear about your problems.

And I don't want to listen to your apathy (see)
You're not like me (see)
You mean nothing to me;
That cash doesn't make you any greener.

I don't need anyone, I don't need anyone,
I don't need anyone to tell me what to feel.
I don't need anyone, I don't need anyone,
I don't need anyone to hate the world with me.

(Day in day out) It's not that bad.
(I worry and I worry) But you'll never have to worry again.
(Day in day out) It's not that bad.
(I worry and I worry) But You'll never have to worry again,
(Won't have to worry again) Never be, alone.

Even if I told you what it meant to me (see)
You'd disagree, (see)
You'd never let it be,
You just wanna tense around the problem,
And everybody's talking about humility,(see)
indecency, (see)
smoke, and mirrors to me,
You had the world, and you pissed it all away

I don't need anyone, I don't need anyone,
I don't need anyone to tell me what to feel.
I don't need anyone, I don't need anyone,
I don't need anyone to hate the world with me.

(Day in day out) It's not that bad.
(I worry and I worry) But you'll never have to worry again.
(Day in day out) It's not that bad.
(I worry and I worry) But You'll never have to worry again,
(Won't have to worry again) Never be, alone.

(Oooooh's...)
Alone, in my room, with a bucket full of phlegm,
I don't need, a music scene, to tell me who I am,
Should've got a warning,
Should've came a year ago,
Should I send her a birthday card?
My conscience tells me "No".

I don't need anyone, I don't need anyone,
I don't need anyone to tell me what to feel.
I don't need anyone, I don't need anyone,
I don't need anyone to hate the world with me.

(Day in day out) It's not that bad.
(I worry and I worry) But you'll never have to worry again.
(Day in day out) It's not that bad.
(I worry and I worry) But You'll never have to worry again,
(Won't have to worry again) Never be, Never be, Never be alone.

streetlight manifesto - dear sergio

Run, run, run all you do is fucking run,
But you'll never run away from yourself.
I know it's hard but you've been there before,
and you know you're gonna be there again.
I don't care what the stars may say
because they always feed their bullshit to me.
It's kinda sad how you lost what you had,
and you're never gonna have it again,
and so I say:

Hey Sergio, you've got to get us out of here
And so I say:
Hey Sergio, it's getting kind of hot in here
And so I say:
Hey

Every other day you don't care what they say
because they always leave you two steps behind.
You try to smile and it lasts for a while,
but they always send you back to the start.
Eenie meenie miney mo they shoot down everyone you know,
and then they leave you there all alone.
You wish they'd stop but they never give up,
and you know deep inside that you're stuck,
and so I say:

Hey Sergio, you've got to get us out of here
And so I say:
Hey Sergio, it's getting kind of hot in here
And so I say:
Hey

Sergio laughed for the last time today,
He said It never really bothered me:
we all have dues to pay.
Like a man that's cut off at the knee,
he hobbles, and hobbles because nothing is free.
So wake up, wake up, wake up,
but don't cry because you'll fuck up your make up,
and if you do, you won't get laid,
you won't make money, no you won't get paid.
And you act so free, you act so free,
everybody's happy because you act so free.
Well you might fool them,
but you can't fool me with your mindless chatter
like I don't need them, I don't need help,
I don't even need to see the end.

Hey Sergio, you've got to get us out of here
And so I say:
Hey Sergio, it's getting kind of hot in here
And so I say:
Hey

streetlight manifesto - down down down to mephisto s cafe

If I were you, I would take this as a sign
Believe it's true, we were never meant to fly
And I owe you, I know you more than anyone alive
And I will not let go
They will not remember this song
No matter what we do we'll be wrong
They will not remember this song
No matter what we do we'll be wrong
I can't seem to see the seal we're breaking
I can't seem to see the seal we broke
I refuse to recognize your views
Someone shouted "Everything's for nothing"
Somebody shouted, "All is lost"
But I can't buy that nonsense too
Way back when the prophecies began
Do you think they really had a master plan
Or were they merely writing fables, stories?
I don't know but it has occurred to me
The punishment that they threaten constantly
It's only real if they could just convince me
We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
Down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
we're going down
And the gears will spin and the sinners sin,
but at least we'll give them hell
And the righteous few will spit on you,
so bid them all farewell
We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
We're going down (Right?) (Right!)
So fuck the flocks of sheep that keep amassing masses
Asses being led so far astray
And I won't claim to believe the things I read
Black books or agenda magazine
I'd rather see in shades of gray
If I were you, I would take this as a sign
Believe it's true, we were never meant to fly
And I knew you when you were you
Before they twisted all your views
Before you came unglued
We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe
Now everybody's telling taller tales
And I don't know who to believe
Ok, if your father really loves you more
What about the other families?
Finally, I met a man with kindness in his eye
and fire in his heart
He said you'll never have to choose a side
It's rewarding but oh, the road is hard....
They broke him wide open
Like a dam and a cork that's holding everything inside
You can play the role of rebel
Just be sure to know your wrong from right
I remember it was years ago
You know I still count the days
You and I had quite a ways to go
I never once heard you complain
And you said
Don't crack, because you might not make it back
And if you do you will be alone and you can't live like that
Well I know when I'm wrong
and I sure as hell ain't wrong this time
We're going down, down, down to Mephisto's Cafe

streetlight manifesto - everything went numb

And the story goes like this: everything went numb for the money and the guns
And everytime he'd think it out: "there's nothing to worry about
Get in the van, don't deviate from the plan
If everything goes smooth then you'll walk away a rich man"
So it begins, everybody walks in
Could this be the way or the day that the underdog wins?
I think not, so i bet on the feds because the black hat men never win in the end

Ski mask (check)
Sawed off (check)
Guilty conscience, fear of death (check check check)
Everything went numb when he stumbled upon what he thought
Was going to be another means to the end
The silence
The sirens
It all went down like his nightmare the night before
I don't want to hear
I don't want to be near
I do what i got to do just to keep my nose clean

The story doesn't end here
Don't fear for our hero ain't near the end
My friend
Let's take it back to how it all began: with a proposition
And proposition starts with a capital p
"or at least for me" is what he said to himself
But himself ain't a lot when he's got nothing left
Of what was once a man, loved and loving
He took that trip that turns something to nothing
Right and wrong
There's not a lot a difference when you're singing that poor man's song
And that song it goes just a little like this:

Na na na...

Ski mask (check)
Sawed off (check)
Guilty conscience, fear of death (check check check)
Everything went numb when he stumbled upon what he thought
Was going to be another means to the end
The silence
The sirens
It all went down like his nightmare the night before
I don't want to hear
I don't want to be near
I do what i got to do just to keep my nose clean

streetlight manifesto - failing flailing

you say you've got the cure
but i don't have a disease
and you say you've got the answers
but i've made no inquiries
and you're failing
bailing
good god motherfucker now i see you flailing
i see you flailing
that's right i think i do
i see you flailing away

i know it's hard but so are you
and so am i and we'll pull through together, together
and i said that it's been years but i still fear
that someone dear will leave me here forever, forever and i said: hey! you've got to keep trying
you've got to keep holding onto what you've got
because what you've got it sure ain't a lot
and hey!
everyone's falling down
everyone's holding out for what you've got
but what you've got, it sure ain't a lot
and you act like it is but you know that it's not
and even if it was, would you ever give it up?
if i told you what you had was really nothing?
nothing?
nothing!
yes, it's nothing
nothing at all

so you say your life's a bore
and i can't quite disagree
if you judge your life by the pieces of shit that inhabit your tv
because they stand so proud, and they talk too loud
and every other word is a lie
i've found that everyone who is anyone is a waste of time
a waste of time

i know it's hard but so are you
and so am i and we'll pull through together, together
and i said that it's been years but i still fear
that someone dear will leave me here forever, forever and i said: hey! you've got to keep trying
you've got to keep holding onto what you've got
because what you've got it sure ain't a lot

if i told you what you had was really nothing?
nothing?
nothing!
yes, it's nothing
nothing at all

nothing
you won't say nothing
you won't say nothing
and that's just fine

nothing (take me back to that day when i was blind)
you won't say nothing (I would like to see your face one last time)
you won't say nothing (take me back to that day when i was blind)
and that's just fine (I would like to see your face one last time)

sticks and stones may break my bones
but names will never hurt me
and it's been years but still i fear that someday they'll desert me
oh, it's hard, i know
when it's time to stand alone
and no one understands you

sticks and stones may break my bones
but names will never hurt me
and it's been years but still i fear that someday they'll desert me
oh, it's hard, i know
when it's time to stand alone
and no one understands you

sticks and stones may break my bones
but names will never hurt me

streetlight manifesto - forty days

And it's been forty days
I've tried forty ways
You will never quite leave your sins behind
They'll haunt you, taunt you until the day you die
You will never really go
You'll just think about it much but you'll need to know how the story ends,
so you'll sit around, even though you should just go
Tell your friends what you have heard, show them all the lies unlearned
And when you really go, you will really know you were never meant for earth
What's it worth?
If we're going to break it down with any logic, it's absurd
And no matter where we go, we are not alone
WHen the silence turns to cries of "Why?"
What a way to begin: we inherit sin
And nobody's going to quench your thirst when the well runs dry
And nobody's going to hold your hand on the day you die
I've tasted seven sins, so they won't let me in
I knock knock knock until my knuckles are bruised and raw
Stuck in the middle with my blood in a puddle on the floor
We made our beds, we'll judge ourselves
And only then and there will we disappear to our final resting place
What a waste!
So many decent people at the gates
And no matter who you know, you will be alone
When the silence turns to cries of "Why?"
What a way to begin: we inherit sin
And nobody's going to quench your thirst when the well runs dry
And nobody's going to hold your hand on the day you die

streetlight manifesto - giving up giving in

I got no cash, got no girl, got the world in the palm of my hand,
I don?t care if you care, or if you understand,
cause I?m a little kid and I?ve got little problems yeah, and
I don?t give a shit if you don?t even understand,
I got me (But I got me)
That?s all I need (that?s all I need)
And I live comfortably (and I live comfortably)
And I sleep peacefully
GO!

And I sleep peacefully
GO!
I give up,
I don?t wanna hear,
I don?t wanna be near,
You, your friends, your dime a dozen miseries,
I don?t care if you care about the way you wear your hair,
Your shoes, your idiot attitude,
Don?t stop cause I wanna hear your problems,
Don?t stop cause I wanna help you solve them,
Don?t stop whatever I might say got a problem,
About your day, I?m moving things out the way.
I GIVE UP!
I GOT NO CASH!

streetlight manifesto - hell

In the afterlife
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay

In the afterlife
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay

People listen attentively
I mean about future calamity
I used to think the idea was obsolete
Until I heard the old man stamping his feet

This is a place where eternally
Fire is applied to the body
Teeth are extruded and bones are ground
And baked into cakes which are passed around

In the afterlife
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay

Beauty, talent, fame, money
Refinement, job skill and brain
And all the things you try to hide
Will be revealed on the other side

In the afterlife
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay

Now the D and A and the M and the N
And the A and the T and the I-O-N
Lose your face, lose your name
And get fitted for a suit of flames

The D and A and the M and the N
And the A and the T and the I-O-N
Lose your face, lose your name
And get fitted for a suit of flames
