Wide Awake

Things can't be the way the were
But that can't slow us down
It's good to look back on the past
And see the fun we had
The future is ours, we have new goals
They're already set
And when you stop 'cause the past
You will come in last at life

You'll come in last at life
If's your life to do what you please
All your decisions are not for me
I won't tell you what's right or what's wrong
Just that my feelings are this strong

I won't tell you what to do just how I feel
I wish you'd make a choice and make it soon
You know what I mean
When you're down I get so mad
Mad at myself
I shouldn't be this way any more
This time I can't ignore the truth

(By 7 SECONDS)

Some year's gone by but I believe - Still!
And in my heart I still feel - Real!
I'd rather die before I'd call it quits
Cos I can't feel the way that you feel

A commitment, that will remain inside
Just something I will never forget
Don't tell me, that it's just my pride,
A built in part of what's inside my head

I've sacrificed a lot and still feel strong - Still!
But odds were that it wouldn't last for long - Wrong!
Beliefs and views get stronger every way
Tell me friend just where you stand today

People say I've changed, say I'm much different now
I've lost friends, jobs, money so tell me why...
Let me hear your reasons, cuz I shaved my head
And it changed my head
What about our friendship, you say I'm such a bore
And I'm "too" hardcore
Now you just ignore me, well fuck you man
Are you happy now?
Promises were broken, but who broke them first?

So much lies so much hate
They plague our lives why must we fabricate?
This brutal slander of others and their names
Lets drop these childish attitudes
Quit playing all these fucking games
What's been said can't be changed
What's done is done there's no escape
It's a cold cruel world no room for mistakes
It's sad but true can we end the hate
Money talks and bullshit walks
Say one wrong word and nailed to a fucking cross
The gossip flies from mouth to mouth
How soon we forget what this movement is all about
END THE HATE!

It's so easy to pass judgement before you get to know someone
It's so hard to see them for what they really are
But if we trust that goal and strive to make it really work
We'll be better off in the long run

Too quick to judge

It's just a name do you really know how much it hurts inside
All the differences fiat we fucking have it's happened too many times
Too many people too many friendships could have been
Because of ignorance, selfish judgement they were all fucking lost
Prejudgement it's something we all do you think it's ok?
What if I was judging you? Can't you see the point I'm trying to get across
You choose to prejudge it will be your loss

Too quick to judge

Take a look around you and see what's going on
There's all these fucked up racial groups why can't we get along
Why must we go on like this hating for color and creed
Although we have our differences when we're cut we bleed
We bleed a blood that's red one color which stays the same
One other thing that we have in common is our human brain
Our brain is there to make us think make us stay aware
But when one shows our prejudice no one seems to care
The only one who stand behind us when we sing this song
And the ones who see what's going on and realize right from wrong
This is wrong why can't we get along hating for color and creed
When we're cut we bleed

What did I do?
To make you hurt me this way.
To go along with your business
Day by fucking day
Every time that I see you
It turns the knife just a little bit more
The feeling I get is of such fucking regret

You fooled me once
It won't happen again
You drew the last straw
Our friendship's reached its end
Now it's clear to me
Finally I can see
You drew the last straw
You lied to me

Always thinking about yourself
You never gave me a chance
All your talk led me to believe
That you were my friend
But now I can see
You lied to me
Now I can see

Help each other to strive for more
So a better future will be in store
Be proud to say make no mistake
That we're for real we're Wide Awake

Wide Awake to what's around you
Wide Awake to what's in life
Wide Awake no pressure to feel
Wide Awake 'cause I know we can deal

Just say no I don't need that beer
Donl feel the pressure no "in crowd" to fear
Stay straight and alert do what it takes
To stay Wide Awake

What did I do?
To make you hurt me this way.
To go along with your business
Day by fucking day
Every time that I see you
It turns the knife just a little bit more
The feeling I get is of such fucking regret

You fooled me once
It won't happen again
You drew the last straw
Our friendship's reached its end
Now it's clear to me
Finally I can see
You drew the last straw
You lied to me

Always thinking about yourself
You never gave me a chance
All your talk led me to believe
That you were my friend
But now I can see
You lied to me
Now I can see

Help each other to strive for more
So a better future will be in store
Be proud to say make no mistake
That we're for real we're Wide Awake

Wide Awake to what's around you
Wide Awake to what's in life
Wide Awake no pressure to feel
Wide Awake 'cause I know we can deal

Just say no I don't need that beer
Donl feel the pressure no "in crowd" to fear
Stay straight and alert do what it takes
To stay Wide Awake

Now I'm thinking of a word
That you might know by chance
This word describes a feeling
That to last you've got to give it a chance

It's one simple word, that I'm sure you've all heard
It's friendship
Give it a chance

Friends are there to pick you up when you're feeling down
They'll always be there by your side they'll always be around
So the next time you're feeling down and don't know what to do
Call on a friend they'll be there to help you
They won't turn there backs on you
