H2O [American Punk Band]

Giving all I got and I feel so drained
Preaching motivation, trying to fan that flame
Now it's time to turn around and do something for me
Something must have changed and you can blame reality

Something's changed but I don't feel the same
No reason why, I got no alibi and no regrets
I must be out of debt
I must be out of debt

Lied awake at night just wondering if I did it right
Tried to be the optimist and help two worlds unite
But now I got to step it up so I don't get left behind
Something must have changed but it's ok and I'm alright

Something's changed but I don't feel the same
No reason why, I got no alibi and no regrets
I must be out of debt
I must be out of debt
I don't owe anymore
I don't owe anymore

I'm still the same, something must have changdd
Now the world has turned and this is what I learned
I've done all I can now I'm changing up the plan
Because I need to find a way to do my own thing

Something's changed but I don't feel the same
No reason why, I got no alibi and no regrets
I must be out of debt
I'm finally out of debt
I must be out of debt
I'm finally out of debt
I don't owe anymore
I don't owe anymore

ain't it strange how time just slips away
then i got your call the other day
all these years and you're still in that place
and you really don't have much to say
like, what about your dreams?
and are they blowing away,
while you sit there wishing you could start again

chorus
are you stuck in a rut? helpless not hopeless
got a fear in your gut? helpless not hopeless
are you waiting for luck? helpless not hopeless

and i know how hard it is to change, with so many lives to
rearrange and every time you feel so close, you forget
about what you want most like what about your dreams ,
and are they blowing away
while you sit there wishing you could start again

chorus

time, it's funny how time slips away
time, and how your dreams fade away
time, and it's hard, hard to make that change
but, you can make that change

chorus

Just when you thought you had it made
You had a life your bills were paid
But your heart was numb inside
Abandoned by your foolish pride
And this I know, nothing comes from shallow goals
I've tried and you will find, all your riches they come from inside

And here it comes that empty feeling again
I wanna help you out
I wanna make you understand what it's about
I'm not just here to be your fairweather friend
We'll see this to the end and get you on your feet again

Now that you've lost, you win so much
Now there's only you to trust, with your mind left open wide
First day of the rest of your life
So now you know there's something you can't control
It's ok, your war has died, but the battle still goes on outside

Stand up - on your feet

s
what else can i say, that's not been said
each day i rise up, thinking i've wised up
i realize that i don't know shit

chorus
i don't know where i'm gonna be - day by day with me
i don't know where i'm gonna land - day by day with me
my five year plan, has turned to ten
and it's all gonna happen

again millenniums coming, better start running
straight for a place in history
so fast the past went, none of our time
spent wondering what's gonna happen to me

chorus

again and again through time i see - day by day
i'm going through changes to find what's best for me - day by day
i know where i am and i know where i'm from
so i got to face the future and take it as it comes

chorus

I'm staying away from your negative space
You're only bringing me down
Whenever you come around
I see the look on your face, you're in a world of hate
Don't wanna be the one you take it out on

Anger is a wall around you
No-one's getting through
Friendships falling down around you
What are you gonna do?

I'm trying to give something positive
You wouldn't understand
Cause it's an open hand
Not a closed fist, are you getting the jist
Or are you just getting pissed

I'm not willing to waste my time
Believing that you're gonna do what's right
I won't be there to catch your fall
Only to find I don't know you at all

Know all about you but are you just a name
You like the feeling a reputation brings
Some say your violent and people are afraid
I say you're silent and holding back the pain
Inside - you just can't live a lie
Inside - just can't live a lie

Reputation calls and now it follows you
But what about the changes you been going through
One of these days the things they say
Won't mean the same as before then when reputation calls
You don't have to answer anymore

One of these days when you don't feel so hard
One of these days when you put down your guard
Heart hanging out for the world to see
When standing alone whole will you be

No more lies with violent ends,
No more fakes disguised as friends,
No one has the time to waste on them!!!

I want you to know, something that I feel
It's deep inside of me and part of you as well
Understanding, it slips so far away and sometimes I can't deal
Don't have the time for someone else's scandal
My own life is hard enough to handle

And I still believe, most people are the same
We're so conflicted and we need someone to blame
Is it just pride or do we have to hide
All our problems, no we will never tell

And we will liberate ourselves from them - liberate
Liberate!!!

Never really been into religion
Never gave a fuck about superstition
But such strange things are happening
First once, then twice, then once again

Never really thought we'd reach a third one
Still there are those who haven't heard one
So we still have such a mission
Our trilogy must have tradition
Then once, I could not believe, even twice I was still naive
In my heart, in my head, these words are said

I don't care what you say, I'll follow the three way

I've never been into science fiction
So I guess this is a contradiction
Or is it just numberology but hey it's looking out for me

Who can I believe in
When all my heroes are gone
Does anybody out there know their right from wrong?
No I can't trust the president
I can't trust the cops
I can't believe my ears when the radio's on
I feel so lonely in your world
So disappointed in your world
I'm making my own way
Trying to learn from my mistakes
Cuz I've got no role model
No footsteps I can follow
I'm making my own way
And I can't expect a teacher
To keep me safe from harm
I can't expect a criminal to say he's wrong
But at the lowest standards
I need a stand up friend
Someone I can look up to; put my faith back in
I feel so lonely in your world
So disappointed in your world
I'm making my own way
Trying to learn from my mistakes
Cuz I've got no role model
No footsteps I can follow
I'm making my own way
My own way
So I'm turning off the tv
And I smash my radio
Cuz I realize my heroes are the people I already know
And I'm burning up the papers
And tearing up all the magazines
Cuz they make me feel so lonely
When there's no one who represents me
Am I all alone?
Am I all alone?
I feel so lonely in your world
So disappointed in your world
I feel so lonely in your world
So disappointed in your world
I'm making my own way
Trying to learn from my mistakes
Cuz I've got no role model
No footsteps I can follow
I'm making my own way

What if you could live your life
Like you're the only one around
Would you do it just to see if you could
or would it scare you too much
Not to see you friends
Hail, Hail the gangs not here at all

Self reliable
That makes you responsible for
All the lies you told
and you told them to yourself

What if you could live your life
A minute at a time
Make the most of everything you do
or would it scare you too much
to enjoy the life you lead
always complain
about the things that you don't need

Self reliable
that makes you responsible for
all the lies you told
and you're telling to yourself
Self reliable
it may be a lotta work
but in the end it's a job that pays you well
Job that pays you well

Introspection, self-doubt
Just trying to understand
what you're really all about
will it end wth contradiction
would you feel the urge to scream
and wake up from this dream
you don't know why?

Self reliable
that makes you responsible for
all the lies you told
and you're telling to yourself
Self reliable
it may be a lotta work
but in the end it's a job that pays you well
Job that pays you well

Self reliable
that makes you responsible for
all the lies you told
and you're telling to yourself
Self reliable
it may be a lotta work
but in the end it's a job that pays you well
Job that pays you well

Self Reliable
Job that pays you well
Self Reliable
Job that pays you well
Self Reliable
Job that pays you well
Self Reliable

So listen up 'cause this one goes out to the well-behaved
We wonder how we all got so tame
And yes it's true we have to share part of the blame
But I will never understand just how
You can pretend you're a fan when you don't question
The things that you were told
You're so controlled
And you might as well have had the best intentions
Only your heart will ever know

I don't want to be part of the well-behaved
I miss that good old-fashioned chaos
Don't want to be another boring story
Well I miss death or glory

So listen up 'cause this one's all about the game we played
You made the rules and we obeyed
And if we changed it you would only feel betrayed
And you will never understand just how
We can't progress if you invest in the unchanged
'Cause it's so safe to stay the same
But I refused and as long as I exist
I must resist it but I know I'm about to lose

I don't want to be part of the well-behaved
I miss that good old-fashioned chaos
Don't want to be another boring story
Well I miss death or glory

You're so controlled
How could you know?
Went with the flow but are you where you wanna be?

I don't want to be part of the well-behaved
Can't fight the system when you got no rage
And I'm not willing to give it all away

I don't want to be part of the well-behaved
I miss that good old-fashioned chaos
Don't want to be another boring story
Well I miss death or glory

I don't want to be part of the well-behaved
I miss that good old-fashioned chaos
Don't want to be another boring story
Well I miss death or glory

Old School-Recess!!! (4x)

Where did we go so wrong, how did we last so long
All I can think now that we're here, is when we gonna have
Some fun can't forget what we were, even if it's all a blur
And never forget why we're still young
And how we all still endure

I don't wanna be 13, I only wanna share the scene
All I really want to do is to have Saturday
Everyday for the rest of our lives

Old School-Recess!!! (4x)

When did it come to this, too much of this business
I'm not under no fucking gun
So when we gonna have some fun
Tell me how you got so sad, with all the good times we had
When all you really want is to have Saturday
When you're tired of living in the past - Saturday
When you only want good times to last - Saturday
Everyday for the rest of our lives! - old school- recess (4x)

Am i wasting all my time
Chasing innocence to find
A time of my life when i should have known better
Have i wasted all these years
Hiding back the tears behind a smiling face
AM I LYING

Cause i wanna do whats right
But i need to understand
do i burn a bridge and call it a life lesson
As these thoughts come floating in
Where the memorys raised to high a price to pay

Gonna take a trip down memory lane
For the millionth time today
Im still waiting
Gonna take a trip down memory lane
And i dont have much to say

As i fumble through my lines
Tripping wires in my mind
Theres a script that falied the breach and im ready
As these thoughts come floating in
Where the memorys raised to high a price to pay

Gonna take a trip down memory lane
For the millionth time today
Im still waiting
Gonna take a trip down memory lane
And i dont have much to say

Looking forward for tomorrow
Staring down on yesterday
Cant you see that im driving blindly
Cant you see that im
CANT YOU SEE IM DRIVING BLINDLY

Am i wasting all my time
Chasing innocence to find
A time of my life when i should have known better
Have i wasted all these years
Hiding back the tears behind a smiling face

Gonna take a trip down memory lane
For the millionth time today
Im still waiting
Gonna take a trip down memory lane
And i dont have much to say

I want what the other kids have, I want it all

I want I want what the other kids have
I want brand name shoes /
I want perfect teeth and something to smile about
I want an invitation
And my own cell phone and something to talk about
I want imagination

But there's no money for me to pay
I want I want what I want and I want it now
There's enough food on the table so I guess it's ok
I want I want and I want it now
I want I want
I want I want what the other kids have
I want I want, I want it all

I want I want that video game
Don't want to have to use my brain
I want to go where the cool kids go
I'm sneaking in but they don't know

There's no money for me to pay
I want I want what I want and I want it now
But there's enough food on the table so I guess it's ok
I want I want and I want it now
I want I want, I want it all
I want I want
I want I want what the other kids have
I want I want
I want it all

If I don't get these things I ask for maybe I should run away
But there's enough food on the table so I guess I'll stay
I want I want

I want I want what the other kids have
I want brand name shoes /
I want perfect teeth and something to smile about
I want an imagination

There's no money for me to pay
I want I want what I want and I want it now
But there's enough food on the table so I guess it's ok
I want I want and I want it now
I want I want what the other kids have
I want I want I want what the other kids have
I want I want I want it all

well those 5 years are gone now,
so i've got a plan that's new.
I'm seeing the future.
but I can't forget my roots cause it's still not a concept,
someone made up on tv.
it's still something real,
way down deep inside of you and me.
(Chorus:)
All the bands we loved the most,
all the songs that give us hope reasons we're still here today,
people change but songs remain,
songs remain, songs remain in our hearts.
no matter what we do, i know you can feel it,
dispite our different views.
so if you make a connection,
we'll have both sides to see,
and noone can take that away from you,
and noone can take that away from me.
All the bands we loved the most,
all the songs that give us hope,
reasons we're still here today,
people change but songs remain.
and when you put that music on you can feel it,
you just know it, it's right for you.
and even though the times have changed that spirit,
i still feel it, it carries on,
and even though your life has changed that spirit,
you still feel it, it carries on, it carries on in every song.
All the bands we loved the most,
all the songs that give us hope,
reasons we're still here today,
people change but songs remain
(chorus 2 more times)

H2O - Forest King

Do what you want
It really doesn't matter anyway
A lot of different people
Got a lot of different things to say
But - what is a reason for hunting anything
What are you hiding
What are you running from
What went wrong and made you kill for fun
It just don't make sense!

Clawed my way to the top of the food chain
God gave me the biggest brain
Used my smarts to build a weapon
Now I am the forest king

Do what you want
I just don't see the reward
No matter how you slice it
Killing is a cowardly sport
Murderous ambition, your ammunition
You really slay thef u c k i n' competition!
A little trigger to help you turn a boy to a man
I don't understand!

Clawed my way to the top of the food chain
God gave me the biggest brain
Used my smarts to build a weapon
Now I am the forest king (2x)

(guitar solo)

It's just common sense! (2x)

Clawed my way to the top of the food chain
God gave me the biggest brain
Used my smarts to build a weapon
Now I am the forest king

Now I am the forest king
(Do what you want,
it really doesn't matter anyway)
I am the forest king
(Do what you want,
it really doesn't matter anyway)
I am the forest king
(Do what you want to, Do what you want to)
I am the forest king!

At the cost of living I die
At the cost of dying I live
At the chance of sounding selfish
It's my life time
On the chance that I'll survive
And I'll keep my soul alive
Written on the wall and sign says
It's my life time

Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me
Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me

At the cost of losing I win
At the cost of winning I lose
I guess I only have to choose
'Cause it's my life time
On the chance the world slows down
And I'm finally losing my ground
In the end I hear the sound
And it's my life time

Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me
Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me

Somebody tell me what I'm doing here
I can't find the answers in the dark
You want to know about my biggest fear?
It's wasted time, time, time
Am I wasting time?

Standing here waiting for a sign
All I want to know is am I wasting time
Click click click time
Click click click time
Click click click am I wasting time?

Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me
Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me
Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me
Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me
Am I wasting time?
