Pennywise Album

Listen up everyone, There's something wrong
We got the answers in our sights now, but some how still we struggle along
Lookin' for solutions, in a threatening sky
But we never get an answer
Just chorus of voices wondering why

We're stuck here, without a peaceful day
It's a promise in the night, I'll be ok
The superlative is tellin' me that help is on the way
Won't someone tell me how... Will I make it through the day

Looking towards the future, and all I can see
Is the next generation, looking back with pitty 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

We're stuck here, without a peaceful day
It's a promise in the night, I'll be ok
The superlative is tellin' me that help is on the way
Won't someone tell me how... Will I make it through the day

How can I live? When you won't let me in
How can I die? Without the reasons why
How can I laugh? When I want to cry
How can I go on? With nothing no where

Listen up everyone, There's something wrong
We got the answers in our sights now, but some how still we struggle along
We're stuck here, without a peaceful day
It's a promise in the night, I'll be ok
The superlative is tellin' me that help is on the way
Won't someone tell me how... Will I make it through the day

How will I make it?
How will I make it?
How will I make it?
Tell me, How will I make it?!

woke up this morining
hoping for a better day
gotta make a change right now
gotta find a better way
i took a good look at my problems
and their piling up in my head
gotta take a chance right now
before i wind up dead

wake up my friend
someones knocking at your door
last chance for you
its time to even up the score
so many reasons for living
but you wont even try
wake up and take back your life

When i look in the mirror
i dont like what i see
im like a stranger in a foreign town
it doesnt even look like me
gotta find a way back to
the place where i belong
dont know where im going but
i know where im going wrong

wake up my friend
someones knocking at your door
last chance for you
its time to even up the score
so many reasons for living
but you dont even try
wake up and take back your life

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 tried to join their party
You oughta seen the look when they saw me
Fucked up eyes- Stupid grin
Perfect people won't let me in
Who's who list- Where's my name
They won't let me join their games
I bet you think that I'm insane
There's no one left for me to blame
Screw the perfect people
Fuck they all look the same
We're not much to look at
Too short, dumb and so fat
Never gonna win a beauty pageant it's a curse
Always gonna be a better doorman
At the best clubs
How could things be any worse?
Don't have much to go on don't want your opinion
Don't have much to gain and I ain't got much to lose
Looks like you got it all and I'd really like to
Get some
You got something I could use

So many people, longing to be
Living their lives regretlessly,
Trying to repress the pain in their lives
Reassuring themselves, living with lies
No way to break through, not on my own
Can't push away all the sorrow I've known,
Have to release every thought or care,
And take control, life is a dare

Woah oh,
I can't start over today,
Woah oh,
Live my life a different way,
Can't I find a way to erase bad times
To make everything ok,
I'll start over and live, every single day,
Every single day, every single day ay ay ay yeah,
oh oh

Regrets, and memories, no remorse, no apologies
No reason for me to despair, no future at all,
Ask if I care
I've got time, on my side, twenty four hours in my life
Can't hang on to what's in my past,
Full speed ahead, hard and fast

Woah oh,
I Can't start over today,
Woah oh,
Live my life a different way,
Can't I find a way to erase bad times
To make everything ok,
I'll start over and live, every single day,
Every single day, every single day ay ay ay yeah,
oh oh

At the end with each dropping sun,
Can't erase what has been done, who cares
What happened long ago, I don't want to know oh oh oh

I can't start over today
Woah oh,
Live my life a different way
Can't I find a way to erase bad times
To make, everything ok,
I'll start over and live, every single day

Can't face tomorrow with these thoughts
Of yesterday,
I can't escape the lies and make them go away
Wish I had the answers, to help me make it through
Can't shake these images no matter what I do
I guess I'll use them to make a stronger man,
I'll use each
Twisted tortured memory to help me understand
And I will learn
From mistakes that everyone makes, I've got
To find a way

I guess I'll have to live with them, every single day
Every single day, every single day ay ay ay yeah,
Every single day!

Can't run, can't hide
No one here gets out alive,
It don't get better, that's the best you're gonna get
The deal is in now place your bets
I can't eat, can't sleep,
Knowing that nothing's gonna satisfy me
Another blip up on a television screen,
Among the oceans 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'd best get outta my way, oh
I'm not gonna fade away, slowly

Inside, my mind, is a clock tick-tocking time
Ain't gonna stop until my last day's done
You wanna try me well come get some

Tempt fate, can't wait,
I gotta get out there's no time to hesitate,
Not gonna waste it with the cynical fools,
Can't 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'd best get outta my way, oh
I'm not gonna fade away,

So if you want to try this disposition,
Sacrifice all you know
Sanitize your religion,
Take your life and renew, and do what you wanna do

Can't eat, can't sleep,
Knowing that nothing's gonna satisfy me
Another blip up on a television screen,
Among the oceans 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'd best get outta my way, oh
I'm not gonna fade away, slowly

Hey- It's my time
To change my direction in life just by reading the signs
Hey- It's my turn
To see how many of my bridges will burn
I feel something breathing down my neck
Thought of tomorrow's got me like a nervous wreck
Not time for sorrow- It's your judgment day
It's not far away- It's not far away
There's a shiny coffin for you to rot in
And waste your days
It's not far away
Hey- I got something to say
Before the spirit of life starts slippin' away
I'm not gonna end my life
Wishing for one more chance again to get it right
I hear voices echo from the grave
Whispering softly- It's your judgment day
Hey- I won't 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

I got some shit for sale you ought to get some
You'll be the highest guy who ever lived
It might kill you man you won't even know it
I can feel your best sense starting to give
You take the chance you lose control
The lessons from your past you need to know
Take one more hit of base
That shit is gonna blow up in your face
Ripping glass shards through your heart
You got a problem man you ought to fix it
You think you're getting high well guess again
Until it's too late well you won't even know it
You better stop before you hit a dead end
When you out on the street
A different story every time we meet
You been hanging with a different crowd
Your acting tough and your talking loud
It's getting worse for you every single day
a bad habit and it won't go away
Where you gone where's my best friend
I can't help you cause you won't let me in

Too much time in this same place got to get out
An undenying feeling I gotta get away
Too many thoughts in one space I've finally had it
A dream now takes to a secret place that lies
So far away
It's what you do with it it's what you've waited for
And when you find it a place where no one has been before
I know I gotta listen to my mind 'cause if it happens to me
Sometimes
Finda place where you can go where nobody knows
Nobody knows
Gone and without a trace I'd like to have it
Taking only with me good dreams of yesterday
And my best friend whom with I'll share this journey
Our mental bags are packed 'cause we're leaving here today
It's whatyou do with it
It's what you've waited for

You've been looking for me in the most obvious places
Still I'm nowhere to be found
I'm perched atop the tallest buildings in the city
And I'm intrigued as I look down
All the ants below share the same comfortable existence
But they still wear the same frown
What a shame that they can't see the beauty
That's surrounding them when there's so much all around
Try- Don't choose to walk away
There's a part in your soul it just takes
Time to find it
When you- Try- Take time and seize the day
Cause after today's gone
You'll 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 day soon all the unhappy people find
Solace in the sound
And listen to the old clichés 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
If you feel you're starting to slide
Just pull yourself together
Remember all that matters is you try

It's patience trying
when you tell me how to live
but you don't know anything
your expectations are wearing thin
you won't even take a look
to see another way
you aren't even listening
take your ideals and go away

Chorus:

I'm not cut from the same mold
I don't read from the same old story
I'm not cut from the same mold
I don't know who you think i should be
I'm not cut from the same mold
I don't read from the same old story
I'm not cut from the same mold
Done with yours i'm living my life for me

Tell me father
did i turn out so bad
didn't i look up to you?
took every piece of advise you had
go to school get a job
send me on your way
you aren't even listening
take your dreams and go away

Chorus

For so long i've 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

Chorus

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
A 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 theough their ears
When your head feels like its 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
Views so distorted how can this be
When the love for hate is the basis for reality
Another headline anotehr bash
Another harmless victim beaten up and not for cash
Insanity well when will it end if you don't give it up
You'll never have the chnmace to make ammends
You cannot keep it all inside
You've go
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 there'll be celebrating when you die

On my TV- Violent images flash across my screen
A world of hate- Staring at the rise in murder rate
I can't believe what we've become
Is all hope lost to everyone
A battered wife- Waits for us to hear
Her screams tonight
A child of war- Wonders what we're all fighting for
I look and think how can this be?
What causes all our suffering?
Eyes wide open we can't see
I can't understand- It's out of hand
To me we're all just killing time
Killing time
Killing time- We're ruining our lives
Still we all refuse to see the signs
A ruthless gang- Teaches all kids to act insane
Religious right- Is buying up guns for
A hell of a fight
Another victim lies in pain-
A serial killer waits for fame
Have we all gone insane?
I can't understand- It's out of hand
To me we're all just killing time
Killing time
I can't believe- There's got to be-
Some way to break through
I think that I- Will have to try- Or I'll lose my mind
We're all killing time
Why?
