Hoobastank Album

All you people listen up!
You are incapable of rational thought!
You will not think!
You will not move!
You will not clinch!
You will not have random synapse in your brain housing group!
Is that clear?
Sir, yes, Sir!
If I give the word, you will move!
If I do not give the word, you will not carry on random thoughts, is that clear?
Sir, yes, Sir!
You will not tell me what you think!
I don't care what you think!
What you think is irrelevant!
Lock your bodies, and stand by for command!

With eyes closed tightly,
I march so blindly.
Pretending everything's fine,
'Cause you're there to keep me in line.
I don't want your guidance,
I'll break my silence.
So sick of asking and being denied and now I realise.

We're holding the key, to unlock our destiny,
We were Born To Lead.
We're finally free, no longer following,
We were Born To Lead... we were Born To Lead.

You can't ignore me (you can't ingnore me)
You cant think for me (you can't think for me)
Your world will come crashing down to the ground,
'Cause I figured you out.

We're holding the key, to unlock our destiny,
We were Born To Lead.
We're finally free, no longer following,
We were Born To Lead... we were Born To Lead.

I use to think I'm ALL alone,
But now I see our numbers grow.
I'm not afraid to break away,
Think on my own

With eyes wide open,
My new life begins.
Without you there to tell me, when, where and how,
And you can't stop me now!

We're holding the key, to unlock our destiny,
We were Born To Lead.
We're finally free, no longer following,
We were Born To Lead... we were Born To Lead.

We're holding the key, to unlock our destiny,
We were Born To Lead
We're finally free, no longer following,
We were Born To Lead.

At least I'm moving forward.
At least I'm moving forward.
At least I'm moving forward.
At least I'm moving forward...

I stand before, a road that will lead,
Into the unknown. At least unknown to me.
I want to go, but I'm paralysed with fear.
Fear of a choise, where the outcome isn't clear.

Nooo, but still I gooo.

And I take, the first step of a million more.
And I'll make mistakes I've never made before.
But at least I'm moving forward, at least I'm moving forward.
At least I'm moving forward...

I wonder if, the journey will be,
Shorter as I hope, or much longer than it seems.
But either way, I've made up my mind.
I'm through feeling scared, I'm leaving that behind.

Sooo, Now it's time to gooo.

And I take, the first step of a million more.
And I'll make mistakes I've never made before.
But at least I'm moving forward, at least I'm moving forward.
At least I'm moving forward...

And in while I'll be singing,

Na, nana nana

And I take, the first step of a million more.
And I'll make mistakes I've never made before.
But at least I'm moving forward, at least I'm moving forward.
At least I'm moving forward, at least I'm moving forward.

And I take, the first step of a million more!
And I'll make mistakes I've never made before!
But at least I'm moving forward, at least I'm moving forward.
At least I'm moving forward, at least I'm moving forward!

Mo-ving, for-ward.
Mo-ving, for-ward.
Mo-ving, for-ward.
Mo-ving, for-ward...

Na, nana nana

It seems so obvious
Theres something up with us
I smell the feeling
From across the room.
So can I ask you this?
Not to be forward, miss,
But I think I'll kill myself
If I never know...

What do I have to do
To get inside of you?
To get inside of you?
Cuz I love the way you move,
When Im inside of you.
When Im inside of you...

Just ask and I will do
Anything you want me to
There is no limit
To how far I will go..
And Im sure I can't pretend
To be a gentlemen..
But before I began,
I just gotta know,
Just gotta know....

What do I have to do
To get inside of you?
To get inside of you?
Cuz I love the way you move,
When Im inside of you.
When Im inside of you...

For now I'll play the game
And I'm waiting for your move
But i've got to say
I've gotta know..

What do I have to do
To get inside of you?
To get inside of you?
What do I have to do
To get inside of you?
To get inside of you?
Cuz I love the way you move,
When Im inside of you.
When Im inside of you...
When I'm inside of you.
You...
You...
You...
When Im inside of you...

I must make a choice
A tough decision
Listen to my voice
Should I give in
To temptation, admiration
One leads to myself
The other some one else
Just an empty shell
Just an empty shell

It's harder than it seems
When you're told that
All your hopes and dreams
Are yours to hold if
You just give them
What's expected
Something they can sell
Put upon a shelf
That I am not for sell
I am not for sell

[Chorus:]
I here a voice inside
It's crowning to a scream
I'm not the next of them
I am the first of me
'cause I can live the lie
I am just what you see
I'm not the next of them
I am the first of me

If I can't refuse
The price they offer
I am sure to lose
And I will suffer
Sell my soul to make a profit
All I have to do
Is make believe it's true
That something I can't do
That something I can't do

[Chorus]

So when the waiting's gone
This time to face the truth
You know your good enough
Deep down inside of you

You're finally woken up
If only just to prove
You are born to lead the way
Then be the first of you

I only wanted you to feel,
How I thought you deserved to feel.
The way you always said you wanted to.

You wanted all we have to be real,
And every word we say to be true.
Still after all I gave it's not enough for you.

Well, I can't give any more,
So now I'm giving up.
'Cause nothing's ever good enough.

And the more I try to pour,
The less I fill your cup.
'Cause nothing's ever good enough.

I only wanted you to see,
That you can be who you wanted to be.
And fill the lonely void inside of you.

I gave you everything that you need,
Did what you always wanted to do.
Still after all I've done I can't get through.

Well, I can't give any more,
So now I'm giving up.
'Cause nothing's ever good enough.

And the more I try to pour,
The less I fill your cup.
'Cause nothing's ever good enough.

Good enough!

I've wasted my time!
Go find someone!

Good enough!

Well, I can't give any more,
So now I'm giving up.
'Cause nothing's ever good enough.

And the more I try to pour,
The less I fill your cup.
'Cause nothing's ever good enough.

Enough, enough, enough!

You seem to find the dark when everything is bright
You look for all thats wrong instead of all thats right
Does it feel good to you to rain on my parade
You never say a word unless its to complain
Its driving me insane

If I were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars for all that I have
If I were you

Look what surrounds you now
More than you ever dreamed
Have you forgotten just how hard it used to be
So whats it going to take
For you to realize
It all could go away in one blink of an eye
It happens all the time

If I were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars above
Tell the world I love that I do
If I were you

So whats it going to take
For you to realize
It all could go away in one blink of an eye
It happens all the time

If I were you
Holding the world right in my hands
The first thing I'd do
Is thank the stars above
For the world I love
Take a breath and enjoy the view
Live the life that I've wanted to
If I were you

WHOOHOOW

WAKE UP, our life is calling! We're smoking, but not on fire!
Give us a sign that we're alive!

STEP OUT of indecision! How we've been hypnotized!
To think that everything's all right!

The clock is counting down... The clock is counting down!
The seconds tick away... The seconds tick away!

This is our time! Without a doubt!
Time to ignite! We're not going down!
(Without a fight)

This is our time! Get up off the ground!
Take what is mine! We're not going down,
Without a fight!

LET'S GO, the curtain's open! Get this show on the road!
I want to feel my heart explode!

NO MORE pro-crastination! Tracking my feet below! ?
Now I want everyone to know!

The clock is counting down... The clock is counting down!
The seconds tick away... The seconds tick away!

This is our time! Without a doubt!
Time to ignite! We're not going down!
(Without a fight)

This is our time! Get up off the ground!
Take what is mine! We're not going down,
Without a fight!

YEAH! COME ON! COME ON! COME ON!

COME ON! COME ON! COME ON!

We must pick up the pace! No time to play it safe!
Before you know it's much too late!

This is our time! Without a doubt!
Time to ignite! We're not going down!
(Without a fight)

This is our time! Get up off the ground!
Take what is mine! We're not going down,
Without a fight!

FIGHT! [16x]

WHOOOOOOOOOOO-hoow... hahaha

Don't tell me that you are ready to change.
Don't tell me that from now it won't be the same.
It doesn't matter, 'cause at the end of the day,
It isn't what you say, it's what you do!

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

What you say will be forgotten someday.
What you do will be remembered.
Empty promises all fade away.
What you keep will last forever.

Don't tell me you'll make things better for us.
Don't tell me that you're some one I can trust.
It doesn't mean a thing to me because,
It isn't what you say, it's what you do!

Your actions will speak louder than you!

What you say will be forgotten someday.
What you do will be remembered.
Empty promises all fade away.
What you keep will last forever.

So show me that you really figured it out.
And show me everything that you are about.
But if you can't then just shut your mouth!..

'cause I don't care what you say or what you do,
You can't take back what you've put me through.
Your actions will speak louder than you!..

What you say will be forgotten someday.
What you do will be remembered.
Empty promises all fade away.
What you keep will last forever.

What you say will be forgotten someday.
What you do will be remembered.
Empty promises all fade away.
What you keep will last forever.

What you keep will last forever.

What you keep will last forever.

Forever...

I still remember the time,
When this all felt like a dream.
So completely out of reach,
Frustrating.

We kept our nose to the grind,
Make the days turn into weeks.
Hoping time will heal the pain,
Of waiting.

Now it seems so long ago.

Just look back on,
How far we've come.
We've made it somehow,
Look where we are now.

All we've done,
Our battles won.
We've made it somehow,
Look where we are now.

I used to wonder if I,
Would ever have the chance to be,
Something more than what you see.
I doubt it.

We learned to open our eyes,
Now I both think we'd agree, ?
That we're better off than when we started.

There's still so much left to go ?

Just look back on,
How far we've come.
We've made it somehow,
Look where we are now.

All we've done,
Our battles won.
We've made it somehow,
Look where we are now.

And the best is yet to come.
'cause our story isn't done.
No! No! No! No! No!

Just look back on,
How far we've come.
We've made it somehow,
Look where we are now.

All we've done,
Our battles won.
We've made it somehow,
Look where we are now.

Look where we are now.
No! No! No! No! No!
Look where we are now.

Look where we are now.
No! No! No! No! No!

We've walked together down this winding road,
In search of something true. Together we grew.

But now our journey has come to an end,
And it's on to something new. For me and you.

So goodbye, my friend.
Until we meet again,
Some other day.
I know so much will change.
But looking back I can say,
I wouldn't change a day.
I hope you can say, I hope you can say
The same.

So many memories, we got to make,
And the challenges we met. I'll never forget.

'cause those lessons made us who we are today,
Now we're taking the next step. Without a regret.
No regret.

So goodbye, my friend.
Until we meet again,
Some other day.
I know so much will change.
But looking back I can say,
I wouldn't change a day.
I hope you can say, I hope you can say
I hope you can say,
The same.

Hold on to you, Hold on to you
When I get to the end. I would do it again! Do it again!

So goodbye, my friend.
Until we meet again,
Some other day.
I know so much will change.
But looking back I can say,
I wouldn't change a day.
I hope you can say, I hope you can say
I hope you can say,

That you understand,
The only life we have,
Is here and now,
Not up in the clouds.
With every breath we can say,
It is a brand new day.
I know I can say,
I know I can say!
I know I can say,
The same!

I thought it wasn't wrong,
To hide from you,
Simple truth.

I was scared,
I felt it all along,
But it hurt to much for me, to share.

If only I, had been this blind.
I'd have someone to hold on to.
IF only I, could change your mind,
If only I had known, If only I had you...

Finally understand,
Why things have happened,
And how it all could go so wrong.

Will this pain ever end?
'cause I don't think I can carry on.

If only I, had been this blind.
I'd have someone to hold on to.
If only I, could change your mind,
If only I had known, If only I had you...

If only I had you!..
If only I had you!..

If only I, had been this blind.
I'd have someone to hold on to.
If only I, could have spoke my mind,
If only it were true, We could start brand-new
I know I'll make it through
If only I had you!..
If only I had you!..
If only I had you!..

I've become tired
Of Wasting my time
Thinkin' bout choices
That I've made
Cuz I can't move forward
While looking behind
The only thing I can
Thing to do now is change my way
That I use to be
Cuz now it's seems
Crystal clear to me

Cuz you're so much more
Than a memory
Cuz you're so much more
Than a memory

It wasn't fair
For me just to go
Act like I knew waht you've been though
Cuz I wasn't there
And I'll never know
Couldn't see from
Your point of view
But I'm doing all I can
For you to see
That I understand
THat I understand

Cuz you're so much more
Than a memory
Cuz you're so much more
Than a memory
So don't close my door
On what still can be
Cuz you're so much more
Than a memory

Please don't Go
Cuz I've finally Know
That the past is gone
And I was wrong
And I was wrong

You're so much more
Than a memory
Cuz you're so much more
Than a memory
So don't close the door
On still what can be
Cuz you're so muhc more
Than a memory

Please don't go
Cuz I've finally know
That the past is gone
And I was wrong

Please don't go
Cuz I've finally know
That the past is gone
And I knew I was wrong
And I was wrong

I've been going through the motions
Watching things pass me by
Sleep walking through my life
But you came along and shook my world up
No longer scared to try, my eyes are open wide

[Chorus]
And I never felt like this before
I know I'm finally awake, finally awake
'Cause you're just what I've been waiting for
I know I'm finally awake, finally awake

'Cause it used to feel like I was dreaming
So hard for me to see what's real and make believe
But everything is now in focus
I've finally broken through, I owe it all to you

[Chorus]
And I never felt like this before
I know I'm finally awake, finally awake
'Cause you're just what I've been waiting for
I know I'm finally awake, finally awake

I've missed enough, I've got some catching up to do
And if it's not too much, I'd like to do it all with you
I've missed enough, I've got some catching up to do
And if it's not too much, I'd like to do it all with you

[Chorus]
And I never felt like this before
I know I'm finally awake, finally awake
'Cause you're just what I've been waiting for
I know I'm finally awake, finally awake

I've missed enough, I've got some catching up to do
(I'm finally awake)
And if it's not too much, I'd like to do it all with you!!
I've been going through the motions
Watching things pass me by
Sleep walking through my life
But you came along and shook my world up
No longer scared to try, my eyes are open wide

[Chorus]
And I never felt like this before
I know I'm finally awake, finally awake
'Cause you're just what I've been waiting for
I know I'm finally awake, finally awake

'Cause it used to feel like I was dreaming
So hard for me to see what's real and make believe
But everything is now in focus
I've finally broken through, I owe it all to you

[Chorus]
And I never felt like this before
I know I'm finally awake, finally awake
'Cause you're just what I've been waiting for
I know I'm finally awake, finally awake

I've missed enough, I've got some catching up to do
And if it's not too much, I'd like to do it all with you
I've missed enough, I've got some catching up to do
And if it's not too much, I'd like to do it all with you

[Chorus]
And I never felt like this before
I know I'm finally awake, finally awake
'Cause you're just what I've been waiting for
I know I'm finally awake, finally awake

I've missed enough, I've got some catching up to do
(I'm finally awake)
And if it's not too much, I'd like to do it all with you!!

I don't care what you think or say
It doesn't matter what you think it takes
I'm going to do what I came here to do so you better move

Cause I'm prepared to lose it all
I'm not afraid of how far I might fall
As long as I've done everything i could

Cause I've waited so long for my time to come
And I've waited so long to open the door

And now it's finally opened up
And all this time I thought it was stuck shut
Can't wait around to see when it will close
I don't wanna know
I know that I've gotta make a move
I didn't to come this far to not go through
I know exactly what I have to do

Cause I've waited so long for my time to come
And I've waited so long to open the door
And I know in the end I may never be here again
So I'm not going to wait anymore

No!

One shot is all I've got
One shot is all I've got
So I'll hope that my aim is straight and true

Cause I've waited so long for my time to come
And I've waited so long to open the door
And I know in the end I may never be here again
So I'm not going to wait anymore
No I'm not going wait anymore

One shot is all I've got
One shot is all I've got

For all we've watched you always take the path of least resistance
We've seen you searching for a way that you can cheat the system
You had us fooled but now the truth has finally been uncovered
We'll never look at you the same because we've all discovered

Ta-Take a look, Ta-Ta-Take a look at what you've done
Ta-Take a look, Take a look

Your game is over now
The ride is coming to an end
And it's time for you to face the music
What goes comes back around
You're gonna pay for what you've did
Cuz it's time for you to face the music

We've watched you swear that everything we've heard was fabricated
You said the stories were all false or just exaggerated
But it turns out that you're the one who's making up the stories
Keeping us in the dark while you bask in your own fame and glory

Ta-Take a look, Ta-Ta-Take a look at what you've done
Ta-Take a look, Take a look

Your game is over now
The ride is coming to an end
And it's time for you to face the music
What goes comes back around
You're gonna pay for what you've did
Cuz your true colors have come through
Now there's nothing you can do
It's time for you to face the music

Ta-Take a look, Ta-Ta-Take a look at what you've done
Ta-Take a look, Take a look (X2)

Well we've got news for you

Your game is over now
The ride is coming to an end
And it's time for you to face the music
What goes comes back around
You're gonna pay for what you've did
Cuz your true colors have come through
Now there's nothing you can do
It's time for you to face the music

Ta-Take a look, Ta-Ta-Take a look at what you've done
Ta-Take a look, Take a look (X2)
