PENNYWISE - ABOUT TIME

PEACEFUL DAY

Listen up everyone - thereïs something wrong
We got the answerïs in our sight now
But somehow still we struggle along
Looking for solutions in a threatening sky
But we never get an answer
Just a chorus of voices wondering why

Weïre stuck here - without a peaceful day
Itïs a promise in the night, Iïll be ok
The superlative is telling me that help is on the way
Wonït someone tell me how - will I make it through today

Looking towards the future - and all I can see
Is the next generation - looking back with pity on me
Hunting for some insight - or a means to change
But do we have the will to - or will our future look the same

Weïre stuck here - without a peaceful day
Itïs a promise in the night, Iïll be ok
The superlative is telling me that help is on the way
Wonït someone tell me how - will I make it through today

How can I live - when you wonït let me in
How can I die - without the reansons why
How can I lought - when I want to cry
How can I go on - with nothing nowhere

Weïre stuck here - without a peaceful day
Itïs a promise in the night, Iïll be ok
The superlative is telling me that help is on the way
Wonït someone tell me how - will I make it through today
How will I make it


WASTE OF TIME

I gat a question for all you sinners
Have you ever wondered is this all there is to life?
A quick adventure - not much to mention
A slow procession leading us to die
Or is there a heaven - a distant valley
A folden meadon waiting for us in the sky
no one right answer spirit seems broken
still I just canït help but wonder why

Seems like a tragic wast of time
Who cares what happens when you die?
Lifeïs too short to wonder why
Get on with your life

In towering churches - and holy tempels
They all conspired - to tell me how to live my life
But no religion - or new theism
Could ever provide proof to quench my mind
and now I wonder - Whoïs sky Iïm under
Is there A heaven - waiting for me when I die
No one right answer - spirit seems broken
And still I canït help but wonder why

Seems like a tragic wast of time
Who cares what happens when you die?
Lifeïs too short to wonder why
Get on with your life

So many questions I canït tell the difference
Too many abstract thoightïs now wrestle in my mind
But throught the darkness somewhere should be waiting
A final truth to shower me with light
Their pearls of wisdom - and tales of glory
They fed me nicely until I found it was all a lie
Ad still I canït help but wonder why

Seems like a tragic wast of time
Who cares what happens when you die?
Lifeïs too short to wonder why
Get on with your life



PERFECT PEOPLE

All the perfect people - shallow and deceitful
Staring back at me on tv in magazines
Look so good like a box of fresh wrapped twinkies
What the hell happened to me?
So I took a drive to a rich and wealthy country
Saw everything I wanted and everything I need
Went right up and I tried to join their party
You oughta seen the look when they saw me

Fucked up eyes - stupid grin
Perfect people wonït let me in
Whoïs who list - whereïs my name
They wonït let me join their game
I bet you think that Iïm insane
Thereïs no one left to blame for me
Screw the perfect people
Fuck they all look the same

Too short, dumb and so fat
Never gonna win a beauty pageant itïs a gurse
Always gonna be a better doorman at the best clubs
How could things be any worse?

Fucked up eyes - stupid grin
Perfect people wonït let me in
Whoïs who list - whereïs my name
They wonït let me join their game
I bet you think that Iïm insane
Thereïs no one left to blame for me
Screw the perfect people
Fuck they all look the same

Donït have much to go on Dontït want your opinion
Donït have much to gain and I ainït got much to lose
Looks like you got it all and Iïd really like to get some
You go something I could use

Fucked up eyes - stupid grin
Perfect people wonït let me in
Whoïs who list - whereïs my name
They wonït let me join their game
I bet you think that Iïm insane
Thereïs no one left to blame for me
Screw the perfect people
Fuck they all look the same


EVERY SINGLE DAY

See all the people - longing to be
Living their lives regretlessly
Trying to repress the pein in their lives
Reassuring themselves - living with lies
No way to break through - not on my own
Canït push away all the sorrow Iïve known
Have to release every thought or care
And take control life is a dare

I can start over today
Live my life in a different way
Canït find a way to erase bad times to make everything ok
Iïll start over and live - every single day

Regrets and Memories - no remorse - no apologies
No reason for me to despair - no future at all
Ask if I care
I got time - on myside - twenty-four hours in my life
Canït hang on to whatïs in my past
Full speed ahead - hard and fast

I can start over today
Live my life in a different way
Canït find a way to erase bad times to make everything ok
Iïll start over and live - every single day

At the end with each dropping sun
Canïg erase what has been done who cares
What heppened long ago - I donït want to know

I can start over today
Live my life in a different way
Canït find a way to erase bad times to make everything ok
Iïll start over and live - every single day

Canït face tomorrow with these thoughts of yesterday
I canït escape the lies and make them go away
Wish I had the answers to help me make it through
Canït shake these images no matter what I do
I guess Iïll use them to make me stronger man
And I will learn
From mistakes that everyone makes - Iïve got
to find a way
I guess Iïll have to live with them - every single day


SEARCHING

Canït run - canït hide
No one here gets out alive
It donït get better thatïs the best youïre gonna get
The deal is in now place your bets
Canït eat - canït sleep
Knowing that nothings gonna satisfy me
Another blip up on a television screen
Among an ocean of stars

Tonight I will rage - against the forces of fate
The tide is turning my way
You should know better than to fuck with me
Tonight I will rage - against the forces of fate
You best get outta my way
Iïm not gonna fade away slowly

Inside - my mind - is a clock tick-tocking time
Not gonna stop until my last dayïs done
You wanna try me well come get some
Tempt fats - canït wait
I gotta get out theres no time to hesitate
Not gonna wasste it with the cynical fools
Canït bring me down

Tonight I will rage - against the forces of fate
The tide is turning my way
You should know better than to fuck with me
Tonight I will rage - against the forces of fate
You best get outta my way
Iïm not gonna fade away slowly

And if you want to try thes disposition sactifice all you knew
Sanitize your religion
Take your life and renew and do what you wanna do
Canït eat - canït sleep
Knowing that nothings gonna satisfy me
Another blip up on a television screen
Among an ocean of stars

Tonight I will rage - against the forces of fate
The tide is turning my way
You should know better than to fuck with me
Tonight I will rage - against the forces of fate
You best get outta my way
Iïm not gonna fade away slowly


NOT FAR AWAY

Hey - itïs my time
To change my direction in life just by reading the signs
Hey - itïs my turn
To see how many of my bridges will burn
I feel something breathing down my neck
Thought of tomorrowïs got me like a nervous wreck
Not time for sorrow - itïs your judgment day

Itïs not far away - itïs not far away
Thereïs a shiny coffin for you to rot in
And waste your days
Itïs not far away

Hey - I got something to say
Before the spirit of life starts slippinïaway
Iïm not gonna end my life
Wishing for one more chance again to get in right
I hear voises echo from the grave 
Whispering softly - itïs your judgment day

Itïs not far away - itïs not far away
Thereïs a shiny coffin for you to rot in
And waste your days
Itïs not far away

Hey - I wonït rest in peace
Until this world is sick of hearing from me
Hey - get outta my way
I got a lot more living to do before my
Judgment day

Itïs not far away - itïs not far away
Thereïs a shiny coffin for you to rot in
And waste your days
Itïs not far away

You take the chance to lose control
The lessons from the past you need to know
Take one more hit of base
That shit is gonna blow up in your face
Rippin glass shards through your heart


ITïS WHAT YOU DO WITH IT

Too much time in this same place got to get out
An undenying feeling - I gotta get away
Too many thoughts in one space - Iïve finnaly had it
A dream now takes me to a secret place that lies
So far away

Itïs what you do with it - itïs what youïve waited for
And when you find it - a place where no one has been before
I know I gotta listen to my mind ïcause if it happens to me
Iïm sure it happens to you sometimes
Find a place you can go where nobody knows
You should listen to yourself sometimes
Iïm sure it happens to you - I know it happens to me sometimes
Find a place you can go - where nobody knows - nobody knows

Gone and without a trace - Iïd like to have it
Taking only with me - good dreams of yesterday
And my best friends with whom Iïll share this journey
Our mental bags are packed cause weïre leaving here today

Itïs what you do with it - itïs what youïve waited for
And when you find it - a place where no one has been before
I know I gotta listen to my mind ïcause if it happens to me
Iïm sure it happens to you sometimes
Find a place you can go where nobody knows
You should listen to yourself sometimes
Iïm sure it happens to you - I know it happens to me sometimes
Find a place you can go - where nobody knows - nobody knows

Itïs what you do with it - itïs what youïve waited for
And when you find it - a place where no one has been before



TRY

Youïve been looking for me in the most obvious places
Still Iïm nowhere to be found
Iïm perched atop the tallest buildings in the city
And Iïm intrigued as I look down
All the ants below share th same comfortable existence
but they still wear the same frown
What a shame that they canït see the beauty
Thatïs suttounding them when thereïs so much all around

Try - Donït choose to walk away
Thereïs a part within your soul it just takes time to find it
When you - try - take time and seize the day
Cause after todayïs gone
Youïll never have the chance again
So try

While I sit here with so many thoughts
I`m listening to the rain
Falling to the ground
I`m just hoping one daz soon all the unhappy people find
solace in the sound
And listen to the old clich`es that all the elders say
That life goes by too fast

I just wish there was some way that I could stop the clock
And make the good times last
Don`t throw it all away - no one day`s the same
You must realize - It`s all in your mind
Don`t emphasize the pain - on one particular day
Just pull yourself together
Remember all that matters is you try



SAME OLD STORY

It`s Patience trying - when you tell me how to die
Well you won`t know anything
Your expectations are wearing thin
You won`t even take a look - to see another way
You aren`e even listening
Take your ideals and go away

I`m not cut from the same old mold
I don`t read from the same old story
I`m not cut from the same old mold
Don`t know who you think I should be
I`m not cut from the same old mold
I don`t read from the same old story
I`m not cut from the same old mold
Done with yours - I`m living my live for me

Tell me father - did I turn out so bad
Didn`t I look up to you
Took every piece of advice you had
Go to school - get a job
Send me on your way
You aren`e even listening
Take your ideals and go away

I`m not cut from the same old mold
I don`t read from the same old story
I`m not cut from the same old mold
Don`t know who you think I should be
I`m not cut from the same old mold
I don`t read from the same old story
I`m not cut from the same old mold
Done with yours - I`m living my live for me

For so long I tried to understand
The qualities you thought made up a real man
Now it`s time for me to find out for myself
I`m getting fed up I don`t need your help
You never listen to both sides of the story
You never listen - you won`t listen to me!



I WON`T HAVE IT

A model brother - a model dad
A model citizen has somehow turned out bad
Pledging allegiance to another flag
Lifelong devotion to a man they think was far from mad
The written word from they think their peers
A little propaganda they became white warriors
Bred on deception and bred on fear
They don`t hear the barrage of lies
That pass right through their ears
Then your head fells like it`s real close to imploding
And your life is revolving around hate
All that shit your brain is overloading
With help from papers and magazines
Another sheltered boy chooses what he will not see
View`s so distorted how can this be
When the love for hate is the basis for reality
Another headline another bash
Another harmless victim beaten up and not for cash
Insanity well when will it end - if tou don`t give it up
You`ll never have the chance to make amends
You cannot keep it all inside
You`ve got to leave it all behind
You got a bullet in your head
It`s time to make a stance now make it
A bloody picture - psychotic dream
Choosing to follow the worst lesson in all history
Just get a future yeah get a life - cause if you don`t
Instead of mourning they`ll be celebrating when you die
