I said it once before This world can't keep staying the course, what will that get us? The pressure crushes more We're all doing what we can with what they'll let us And it's so cruel we live this way, with what we're made to believe in I'm tired of hearing my friends say they're okay when they don't mean it It needs to be better Let us make it better I said it once before Our battles, they're dealing blows upon the callous The bar is on the floor And yet they insult us so while lives hang in the balance So how much longer will we stay careening toward our destruction? Well if our voices get a say, we'll put an end to obstruction

It feels completely ridiculous That I'm a willing participant Gazing at the purples and pinks In the shadow of a bank-sponsored skyline "Unite against the establishment!"™ (While drones transmit the images To a server farm in the valley For a culture that will eat its own insides) Oh, they wouldn't be your friend if you weren't worth something They wouldn't be your friend if you weren't worth something They wouldn't be your friend if it wasn't worth it If you didn't have something they could take Take a long look at the billboards That smother the air 'til you can't ignore 'em And glamorize department store crust-punk-chic Cause Satan's trending up and it's fashion week But this is not a movement. It's just careful entertainment For an easy demographic in our sweatshop denim jackets And we'll wonder, "What just happened?!" When the world becomes Manhattan Where the banks steal the apartments just to render them abandoned Oh, they wouldn't be your friend if you weren't worth something They wouldn't be your friend if you weren't worth something They wouldn't be your friend if it wasn't worth it If you didn't have something they could take We're not stupid people, but this financial depression Has got everyone believing all that we can do is nothing Cause we organize through avenues they lace with advertisements So the ones we try to rage against are still lining their pockets Oh, they wouldn't be your friend if you weren't worth something They wouldn't be your friend if you weren't worth something They wouldn't be your friend if it wasn't worth it If you didn't have something they could take

i eat sugary cereal cause i just wanna feel good i eat pizza so often cause i just wanna feel good (ohhhhhhh) we're stuck in repeats as the ones to help, seem like their toothless (ohhhhhhhh) when they all don't fight we're caught in the tract of feeling useless i get lost in media cause i just wanna feel good i recede from life cause life is shit and i just wanna feel good (ohhhhhhhh) when you know it could end if we found the strength to stand together (oohhhhhhh) but you know that we won't cause god forbid we change for the better (ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) god for fucking bid, we change for the better aren't we fucking sick, of this broken fucking game where characters die, but it all stays the same there's always odds to beat, from those with no shame let's show'em that we're sick, of this broken fucking game INSTRUM no cause, and effect, but power and death all lost, in this mess, til they reach their final breath til they reach their final breath (no cause, and effect) til they reach their final breath

I know we didn't always see each other's point of view But that didn't ever stop me from spoiling you And between the love and hate when you conjoin the two You can take an honest look at what the poison do So enjoy the new me Like you enjoyed the sushi That I bought for you Not the same awesome dude Now everything you do Puts me in a rotten mood And reversin' that feeling seems impossible But I don't want to say I'm sorry Cause now you won't even call me Got me feeling something like a zombie I don't want to say I'm sorry And anything that did couldn't even be obscured by apology I don't want say I'm sorry And seeing you being blue isn't something that I'd choose I don't want to say I'm sorry I couldn't see myself say it so I had to make the song do it for me Didn't want to say it I didn't want to say it Nah, nah Didn't want to say it I didn't want to say it Huh, what, yo Seasons change but the reason stays the same If we believe the things that we explain Leave a stain Didn't think I'd see the day that I would need a break But now there's no unity Like it was never you and me And we can never go back to how it used to be We used to be so beautifully in tune to the energy So on everything that you ever meant to me But I don't want to say I'm sorry Cause now you won't even call me Got me feeling something like a zombie I don't want to say I'm sorry And anything that did couldn't even be obscured by apology I don't want say I'm sorry And seeing you being blue isn't something that I'd choose I don't want to say I'm sorry I couldn't see myself say it so I had to make the song do it for me

It’s kind of weird but lately I’m alright I made some friends, and stayed up the whole night When I went home, we all got together over the wire, could this last forever? When you’re around the world is bigger I don’t get lost inside all the pictures Let’s get together it could be alright I’ll be the flowers you be the sunlight

Tired faces everywhere Days like weeks and months like years Different spaces mixing here But we're all stuck in This together Raise your voice an octave She says pour your soul intooooo it This might be a ghost town tonight Maybe you know that with a push we could come alive Tell us to try Show me it's worth it on a path to better lives The work ahead can overwhelm Thankless jobs our guarantee And it holds you back a little bit but Givin a shit is good, actually This might be a ghost town tonight But by all means just give up let the worst solidify It's too late you find So do what you have to Or maybe you will realize No one is right When they say to give up Or we'll never organize We've gotta try What's holding us back now is the way we're traumatized (We've gotta try) We said goodbye To too many ghost towns (We've gotta try) On your road to paradise But we gotta try

Can’t keep up the charade anymore I find this world a tragic bore I tried to be just like you But I can’t win this war Got one foot out anyway Put the other one in, no way This place I see is not for me I’ll say goodbye one day Woah oh oh… I feel the world a’shakin I hear the screams but I can’t… ...Seem to see across the lonely horizon Is there anything at all? Past the crags and the boulders that crush my soul Woah oh… All the bridges are burned and gone All the choices I made were wrong I regret the pain I caused you all I won’t be here too long Can’t tolerate no more Don’t really care for what’s in store I tried to be, I tried to be, I tried to be… But I can’t stay here anymore.

Success for my buddies, success for my friends Success is the only thing I understand Head back home to the place I grew up Give my medals to the ones that I love I'll chase Harvey through the door in the wall He says, "never catch me, never miss me at all" Drool comes down from the corner of his mouth I say, "I love you Harvey, you cut it out" I love winning, baby, I want it all I wanna prove that I got the balls Harvey keeps on playing with his food He doesn't understand what big boys do He wakes up in the middle of the night I run in and turn on the light Run my hands through his short black hair I say, "I love you, Harvey, I don't care

Oh the summertime has come and the trees are sweetly blooming And the wild mountain thyme Grows around the blooming heather Will you grow lassie grow And we’ll all grow together Like the wild mountain thyme Grows along the blooming heather Will you grow lassie grow I will build my love a tower By the purest crystal fountain And around it I will lay All the colors of the mountain
