Dag Nasty : Four on the Floor
Lyrics
1. STILL WAITING
These are the toughest days
The time is slow and the skies are gray
Well this is the hardest time
To tell yourself to take your time
And it seems like a hundred years
Since I thought it would all work out
Seems like a hundred years
And I'm still here
I've got nothing but time
So I'm still waiting
Yeah I'm still waiting
One time my eyes were wide
I couldn't wait until I could drive
Everything in life was free
It was healthy , loud and honest
Well it seems like a hundred years
But I guess it's been only ten
It seems like a hundred years
And I'm still here
2. GOING DOWN
We're going down
Looking around this place man
I've got to get out of here
All those people here are crazy (gonna drive me nuts)
Looking at their race
I never wanted to be in
Where's the door , just get me out of here
We're going down
We're going down and out yeah down and out
Looking at all these cars
Now they're blocking my escape
L.A. Freeway , never free no way
15 miles an hour
The Clash tape up past ten
Ten more minutes and I can breathe again
"Do it right" but how can I ?
When I'm not even given the chance
To correct
The mistakes
I've already made
So hard to answer questions
When I don't even know what they are
How can they expect me to try things their way ?
3. TURN IT DOWN
You can't believe it
Look at the mess you're in
And like a bottle of India ink that spilled
You can't clean it up
Just leave it alone
It's time to turn it down
You've got to turn it around
Your world starts spinning
Like a record in a groove
And like a bottle of beer you drink too fast
Just slow it down
Gotta slow it down ( you can't put it down )
It's time to turn it around
You've got to turn it around
Don't let it kick you around
Tried so hard
To make it on your own
You tried so hard
You couldn't make it on your own
So you start thinking
You can walk right out of here
But like a bottle that washed up on the shore
Just look inside , take a look inside
There's something inside
4. MILLION DAYS
Look in the mirror
Who's staring at me
Reflections showing everything but the pain that's underneath
I turn around and walk away but the images stay in my mind
Wish I could see things clearly
Wish I could see through all this doubt
And if I had a million days
Would I find what I'm looking for ?
Who I'm looking for ?
If I had a million days...
Sometimes I feel like a coiled spring just waiting to be sprung
Sometimes I just feel angry
Or lonely
Or afraid
I'm looking for confidence inside
Looking for answers
I've got the questions
Seems all I ever have are questions
And if I had a million days
5. ROGER
Who you gonna call?
Roger
6. SFS
SFS
I's only a song
Took five minutes and it's not that long
And it means more to us than it will to them
Just another stupid fast song again
SFS
Sound for sound
SFS
It's more than a song
It's a sound that's inside us for so long
And it means more to me than it will to you
It's inside of me can't turn it off, no matter what I do
SFS
Sound for sound
Sound for sound
And it's a sound for our sakes
They may not like it
But it's the sound we make
SFS
Sound for sound
7. WE WENT WRONG
Just thinking of lies
I should have known about
Just thinking of times
I could have prevented
All those mistakes
Why didn't you set me straight ?
Depending on you
Is like walking off a fucking cliff
And I don't know if I can take it
I don't know where we went wrong
I don't know if I can take it
I don't know where we went wrong
Just thinking of lies
I should have known about
Just thinking of times
I could have prevented
All those mistakes
And the biggest one I ever made
Was thinking there was something there, and there never really was
It's building up inside of me
I've got to let it go
8. DOWN TIME
You're gonna tear down the walls
You're gonna scream for change
You're gonna make a difference now
They're gonna hear it again
Well I don't believe it
And I can't see it
There is a will and a way I'm happy to say
But the answer's not in your basement
This time
Down time
Your cover's blown you're on your own this time
Down time now you're on your own
Look around
Up and down
There are people sleeping on the ground
There are problems way more real
Than a gang or a scene or a record deal
And I don't believe it
My eyes have seen it
Nothing you can say will make it go away
The answer's in your actions
When times go bad and we're so quick to run away
In the down time will you see it through ?
9. LIE DOWN AND DIE (UK SUBS COVER)
I just got hit by a ton of bricks
But I won't lie down
While I'm alive I'm gonna get my kicks
I won't lie down
I'm old and dirty from the wrong side of town
I won't lie down
Aint got no money to throw around
I won't lie down
Doctor says I'm living on borrowed time
But I won't lie down
Get so sick my baby cries
I won't lie down
My head is spinning and my legs are weak
But I won't lie down
I smoke and drink till my heart stands still
But I won't lie down
I won't lie down and die
No I won't lie down and die
I won't lie down and die
No I won't lie down and die
Now I've seen heaven and I've seen hell
But I won't lie down
Ain't ready to hear that old church bell
I won't lie down
Ire your gun, drop your bombs
But I won't lie down
I'm gonna be around till kingdom come
I won't lie down
I won't lie down and die
No I won't lie down and die
I won't lie down and die
No I won't lie down and die
10. MANGO
I'm looking for the answers to my prayers
But I just can't seem to find them anywhere
See I've been hoping for
No war , no crime , all the people on the street have a place to sleep at night
Just looking for the answer to my prayer
You can't believe everything you read
Maybe what I'm looking for is inside of me
And I've been hoping that
Everybody's color blind white pride , black pride , no one has to take a side
Just looking for the answers to a prayer
And if I can make it happen well , you know I will
I think we could make a difference still
Just looking for the answers to to our prayers
The more I look the more I think that
They're not there
What am I doing here ?
I think the answers all too clear
Looking up when I know the answer's right here
