Ignition
I don't know when it got this way
I don't know how long she's gonna stay
Every week it's the same in her room
That's why I came
Here I go, here I go again
Our rendezvous never seem to end
I know where I'll be, I'll make this confession
Back in her bed for another goddamn session
CHORUS
I'll never learn
God knows I try
Keep coming back for session
And I don't know why
I'll never learn, I'll never see
Just tell me why these sessions got a hold on me
Some might say it's a fling
For all I know it don't mean a thing
Either way I can't complain
Ain't no strings
Guess I got it made
Here I go, I go again
Our renezvous never seem to end
I know where I'll be
I'll make this confession
Back in her bed for another goddamn session
CHORUS
We are one with ourselves We don't give a shit about anyone else Well it won't be wrong until our day in the sun is gonna stop The walls come tumbling down CHORUS We are one We are free We are headed for obscurity We are one We are weak We are gonna make ourselves extinct Let it go We're gonna let it go It's real, we are one You know it's true Don't fuck with us or we'll fuck with you It's a mentality that kills the best We better stop The walls come tumbling down CHORUS We are one and it won't be news When we hang ourselves with one collective noose Well, it won't be wrong until our day in the sun is gonna stop The walls come tumbling down CHORUS The bigger they are The harder they fall
Hey, you're a riddle I say as I move aside (Like I really need your advice) But you won't leave it alone Little men try but don't get a lot done Living in sin doesn't move me either way I get a feeling you're so vague Like I said before LIttle men come when anything goes CHORUS When the rain comes I sit home and pray Make it all numb I wish it all away All i really need is just somewhere to hide away Kick him when he's down Here alone I'll put up and fight Kick him when he's down Beat me all the way I'll take it all night Kick him when he's down Hey, don't worry, I'll get along home alright Hey, everybody's supposed to be the same So how come they're so lame? It's like taking a fall Keep on running back into that wall Awake in a dream, get up and go to work But I'm feeling like such a jerk Like I said before Little men come when everything goes CHORUS Hey, you're a riddle I say as I move aside (Like I really need your advice) But you won't leave it alone Little men try but don't get a lot done Living in sin doesn't move me either way I get a feeling you're so vague Like I said before Little men come when anything goes CHORUS
When you won't go along Some will feel like you can't find your way Heaven knows Heaven knows I've seen it all before Now don't get me wrong I've seen many a life gone astray When someone goes All your bows won't make it any better so let it go CHORUS Shut up and take it like a man You need us to get a life For your own good we'll take you by the hand 'Cause you need a little more Maybe no one will say it Maybe no one's aware it goes on All I know All I know it's like going off the deep end Could you make a decision? Could you think for yourself and go on? Everyone knows Everyone knows you've got to fit into the mainstream so save your woes CHORUS Close your eyes Look away now Make believe while you can So you'd best go along Don't let on if you can't find your way Many more Many more do it for you Because heaven knows Heaven knows it's like playing with fire Your life's a throw CHORUS
I've been told that to get what you want You just gotta give what you can But I know for what I want it don't come easy as that They say, "Look out, boy Tomorrow comes and things will look better by then." But I'll look out the window Then look in the mirror at the same old me again CHORUS Still can't get it right And for all I know I swear I never will Do you think you'd sell your soul To just have one thing to turn out right? For the thousandth time you turnand find That it just makes no difference to try Like Holden Caulfield, I tell myself There's got to be a better way Then I lay in bed and stare at the ceiling Dream of brighter days CHORUS No way out Same old stuff always drags me down Now way out Never gonna get it
In my own simple way I think she wants me only She said," Come over right away." But she's just not that way Her little soul is tolen See her put on her brand new face CHORUS Pull the shades Razor blades You're so tragic I hate you so but love you more I'm so elastic The things you say Games you play Dirty magic I should know better than to think I'd reach inside her It's all acloudy kind of daze She's not so sweet today She mocks me, I'm no fighther It all just seems like such a waste It's oversimplified CHORUS
When you're feeling low Hypodermic's where you go WHen you're with yourself You wish yo ucould be someone else CHORUS Can't you see like you saw anymore? Can't you feel like you felt before? Can't you face anything anymore? When life's a waste Run away Your life's a waste Run away Once you get a ride Doesn't matter where you lied Once you shoot it in Doesn't matter who you've been You're reeaching in but you don't know where to begin All your dance and song won't matter when you're gone CHORUS
I think I'm burning up inside I think I'll take a little ride I'm gonna light up everything in sight I'll drive on by your yard And throw a Molotov cocktail at your car Then another in the local bar CHORUS Ignition They call it an obsession but I think it's kinda bitchin' I think it's kinda neat Yeah, I'm a pyro I wanna burn it up Yeah, I'm a pyro Tonight this 'hood will be a pyre I'm gonna set your house on fire I'll dance around the pretty flames Such a wonderful game! CHORUS I want to make a tiki torch I'm gonna throw it on your porch Then I'm gonna run away And come back another day So many houses, so little time So many reasons, I'm not a crime I'd like to set you up I'd like to set you up CHORUS
Once you said you'd stick to it until the end I guess you lied, the call it suicide Now you're gone What was so wrong that you couldn't find a way to carry on? Second guess Did I do my best? There was a friend I had CHORUS Johnny was a weirdo So what did you expect? I ain't no fucking hero I'm just trying to survive myself I should have known you went through it alone I wonder why did you even try? You could have come to me I would have helped you see You could have found a way to carry on Second guess Did i do my best? There was a friend I had... CHORUS Johnny's strange behavior was a tip-off, they say But I ain't no fucking savior I'm just living day by day Little things, little lives hanging 'til the end I say it doesn't really mean nothing Telling truth, telling lies I used to have a friend I say it don't really mean nothing And I can't let this feeling go Let this feeling go Let this feeling go
When cops are taking care of business I can understand But the L.A. story's gone way out of hand Their acts of aggression, they say they're justified But it seems an obsession has started from the inside They're shooting anyone who even tries to run They're shooting little kids with toy guns Take it to a jury but they don't give a damn Because the one who tells the truth is always the policeman CHORUS Beat all the niggers Beat whoever you see Don't need a reason (We're) L.A.P.D. The city of L.A. feels like a prison With helicopters overhead and bullets whizzing by Martial law ain't no solution Police brutality's just social pollution Beat all the white trash Beat whoever you see Don't need a reason (We're) L.A.P.D. They say they're keeping the peace But I'm not buying it because a billy club ain't much of a pacifier "Protecting your freedom" Now that's just a lie It's an excuse for power that's more like an alibi Law and order doesn't really matter When you're the one getting bruisedand battered You take it to a jury, they'll throw it in your face Because justice in L.A. comes in a can of mace CHORUS
Things are coming down on me They never seem to let it be It seems like everything I say just starts another fight The pressure's building up inside I gotta let it out tonight Shattered glass will cure my ills and make me feel alright CHORUS Gonna break it And never stop running Making nothing from something Making nothing from something Cut me for the lion's share It's mindless, but I don't care 'Cause no matter what I say I'm in a another fight Take more shit, I've had enough Tonight I'm gonna rip it up Broken windows cure my ills and make me feel alright CHORUS
Look at me while I look at you Seeing eye to eye we can never do You try to tell me what is right I may not know a lot but I know one thing CHORUS If you've got the answer Then I don't want to know If you've got the answer Just keep it your own I wonder why our world is ablaze Sometimes I speak aloud to hear what people have to say I try to have an open mind But your brain and mouth must not be connected If you've got the answer Then I don't want to know If you've got the answer Just leave me alone I would be patient but it takes so long I don't want all this misinformation All the words that you say Lean on me while I lean on you If we destroy each other We might save a life or two A little sun, a little shine Separates us both by forever and a day CHORUS If you've got a vision Then I don't want to see If you've got a notion Don't waste it on me
