1. BETTER THAN

All you want is
What you can't have
And if you just look around man
You see you got magic
So just sit back relax
Enjoy it while you still have it
Don't look back on life man and only see tragic

Because you could be better than that
Don't let it get the better of you
What could be better than now
Life's not about what's better than
You can be better than that
Don't let it get the better of you
What could be better than now
Life's not about what's better

All the time while you're looking away
There are things you can do man
There's things you can say
To the the ones you're with
With whom you're spending your day
Get your gaze off tomorrow
And let come what may

Because you could be better than that
Don't let it get the better of you
What could be better than now
Life's not about what's better than
You can be better than that
Don't let it get the better of you
What could be better than now
Life's not about what's better

All I know is sometimes things can be hard
But you should know by now
They come and they go
So why, oh why
Do I look to the other side
'Cos I know the grass is greener but
Just as hard to mow

Life's not about what's better than.

All you want is
What you can't have
And if you just look around man
You see you got magic
So just sit back relax
Enjoy it while you still have it
Don't look back on life man and only see tragic

Because you could be better than that
Don't let it get the better of you
What could be better than now
Life's not about what's better than
You can be better than that
Don't let it get the better of you
What could be better than now
Life's not about what's better

4. CAROLINE

Got your eyes open, but you cannot see
Got what you want, do you got what you need?
'Till one day you see something you cannot bear
Telling you girl, yes you better beware
Her papa loved her so much you could see
Loved her too much if you know what I mean
So, she left home young,
Yeah she moved town to town
Looking for love that she never found

She played it hard and yes she played it rough
Made her feel safe and it made her feel tough
And rock by rock she built those walls everyday
Built herself a tower so far away
And from up high in that castle
She knew no one could get too close to touch
And if life and death were such a game
Why did they all make such a fuss?
And if birds could fly high over their troubles
She gonna find some of her own wings and fly
And no one could convince or pay her double
Or tell her she was too young to die

Oh Caroline, Caroline


5. GOOD EXCUSE

All around I see raining
Things don't seem to go my way
Got a dark cloud that's hanging
And it seems to follow me

Boy, won't you just wake up
and hear the humming
This cruel world is killing you
better start running
To catch up with your life, catch on up
Before the whole thing is through

Have you once? Have you twice?
Have you even conceived how
really good boy got it go on out
take another better look around

You are just another white boy
Thinking you're so HIGH!
Take step outside see what's shaking in the real world

Go take a step outside see what's shaking in the real world (x2)

But you don't know
how my heart laments
I really got a good excuse
to complain
My parents got divorced
Can't heal the pain

And now there is only cheap regrets
I guess that's just the way it be
Is it the world or how I see me?

Boy now you are really, really bugging
Yes you are bugging me,
can't you just shut right up
Your cup is overflowing, overflowing
And you think it isn't deep

You don't even know what side
you are fighting for
Boy won't you turn your game boy off
Stop pretending it's you against the world
I am sick and I am tired of hearing
you always say

I really got a good excuse to complain
My parents got divorced
Can't heal the pain

Go take a step outside see what's shaking in the real world (x8)


6. USED TO GET HIGH

I used to get high for a living
Believing everything that I saw on my tv
I used to get high for a living
Eating all the bullshit food that they sold me
I used to get high for a living
Thinking that my destiny was out of my control
I used to get high for a living
There's lots of different reasons and I'll tell you so

Super size, large fries, big mac, coca cola
Go on man, pick your poison
Speed, weed, ecstacy, LSD
Man, it don't bother me cos we're all on something
Caffeine, cigarettes, alcohol
You know I'm clawing at the walls trying to get my fix
Prozac, ADD tablets, coke, smack
Now you know I am turning tricks cos

I used to get high for a living
Believing everything that I saw on my tv
I used to get high for a living
Eating all the bullshit food that they sold me
Yeah, that they sold me

Escape, can't wait all trying to get away
From this place man that we're feeling
Can't deal, can't feel what's real
Lyrics
All trying to conceal all this time we're stealing
No doubt, the route you're on
Can't find the clout that you've been needing
'Til then my friend you must contend
With the monster that you're feeding

I used to get high for a living
Believing everything that I saw on my tv
I used to get high for a living
Eating all the bullshit food that they sold me
I used to get high for a living
Thinking that my destiny was out of my control
I used to get high for a living
There's lots of different reasons and I'll tell you so

Got links of the cheney
Getting crazy, getting lazy with their foreign relations
Starting wars, closing doors
Trying to bring about one quicker, man, revelations
Economic rational calling fouls with the workers
Just trying to make it pay
Cost cutting, head butting
Big business do what they like and you do what they say
What's wrong get along, just prolong all the thoughts
You got going on, on the inside
Appease, stand at ease, just try to please
All the apathy that you're trying to hide
How now brown cow
Did we get from this standing place......
And now we're kneeling
'Til then my friend you must contend with the monster that you're feeding

I used to get high for a living
Believing everything that I saw on my tv
I used to get high for a living
Eating all the bullshit food that they sold me
I used to get high for a living
Thinking that my destiny was out of my control
I used to get high for a living
There's lots of different reasons and I'll tell you so


7. GOV DID NOTHING

Way on down where they've been forgotton
City just sinking with the whole world watching
Wading waste deep in water, living on my roof in the land of forgotton
Hey, to the deaf giant with the big muscles why ya moving so slow
Con, conquer and dividing, hole in the bucket got nothing to show

G be indiana jones-ing
Digging up the east stealing dinosaur bones-ing
Hey, he don't dream of stopping
Chasing his tail, trying to find Bin Laden
Hell, is what he living
It's not what you get, it's bout what ya giving
Hey, and I know you won't admit it
Ya stepped in the puddle and you know what was in it

Another storm coming, you better cover head
Shit gonna hit the fan, Gov did nothin'
Oh my god, and the Gov did nothin'
Woah Gov did nothin'
Oh my god, and the Gov did nothin'
Woah Gov did nothin'

Now I don't wish to offend
No I don't wish to start a fight
But do you really think that the Gov would do nothin'
If all those people were white
Hey, don't tell me you know the answer
Stranger than fiction and it don't need romancing
Hey and he think they're the sinners
He caught up in the race and he think he the winner

Forgotton for way too long

Another storm coming, you better cover head
Shit gonna hit the fan, Gov did nothin'
Another storm coming, you better cover head
Shit gonna hit the fan, Gov did nothin'
Oh my god, the Gov did nothin'
Woah Gov did nothin'
Oh my god, and the Gov did nothin'
Woah Gov did nothin'


8. GROOVIN' SLOWLY

Beautiful woman, so sexy
Come shake that bottom over, over to me
Feel that one drop, feel that skank
Brother B playing that Hip Hop
It better than a, money in the bank
Lights are low, moon is high
I want you to know
That you're the brightest star in my sky and

I'm groovin' slowly
With my woman
Groovin' slowly
With my wo-man

DJ play that music
All night long
Play that funky kingston
You know it's our, our favourite song
Feel that back beat
Feel that groove
Got my baby on the dancefloor
She doin all her, her favourite moves

I want you to know girl
I want you to feel
I want to show you
That my love is real
I want you to see girl
You're the brightest star that shines
Even though there is no forever
I'm gonna love you 'til the end of time

'Cos I'm, I'm groovin' slowly
With my woman
Groovin' slowly
With my wo-man

Beautiful woman
So Sexy
Come shake that bottom over to me girl
Feel that one drop, feel that skank
Brother B playing that Hip Hop
It better than a, money in the bank
Lights are low, moon is high
I want you to know
That you're the brightest star in my sky and

I'm groovin' slowly
With my woman
Groovin' slowly
With my wo-man(x2)


9.DEVIL RUNNING

A sun does rise from distant lands
Tears run and fires burning
He find first place with dirty hands
He graduates man without learning.
Agenda set
So long ago
This son's a puppet with a master
The hands stand still right by his side
Middle finger on the button of disaster.

And most of us we stand and watch
Like old lady getting handbag stolen
It's time to chase, chase them criminals
I see the devil and the devil is running.

Bad business ties turn out sour
Backstabbed man nothing forgotten
And in an unforgotten hour
Seeds fall from an apple rotten.
Now hate and fear have their own way
And don't the scum just love the distraction
Black blood will need to be lanced
And when it's found you just blame the guilty faction.

And now it's time not just to watch
Like old lady getting handbag stolen
It's time to chase, chase them criminals
I see the devil and the devil is running
And now it's time not just to watch
Like old lady getting handbag stolen
It's time to chase, chase them criminals
I see the devil and the devil is running


10.LOSING YOU

There are things in this life
I would rather not sacrifice
You girl I cannot live without
And you know there's no doubt that
All I mind's losing you

I don't mind losing sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep
I'll get plenty of rest when I am dead
But till then won't you share my bed
Cos all I mind's losing you
All I mind's losing you

And I don't mind losing money
There's nothing this life owes me
I've been given more than I can receive
But for you there's no receipt
So all I mind's losing you
All I mind's losing you
All I mind's losing you

I don't mind growing old
Losing teeth and going bald
Not as handsome as I ever was
But you love me just because
All I mind's losing you
All I mind's losing you

There are things in this life I
Would rather not sacrifice
You girl I cannot live without
And you know there's no doubt that
All I mind's losing you
All I mind's losing you
All I mind's losing you


11.NOWHERE MAN

Im in
And im out
Australian, and so the rest don't know what the hell I be on About but
From here
And there
I belong nowhere

It seems some men.....
And life dont seem to be the same.....
But all my life I've lived on the, outside
And now im in, but in nowhere

Nowhere man
Nowhere man
Nowhere man
Nowhere man

I love those forests but no long....
But I love to share just like the bullet likes to be free
Flying through the air nowhere...

Some where down deep inside, of me
I guess I always wanted to, be part of the ....
But now I've found that in my, family
And now I'm happy just to be...

A Nowhere man
Nowhere man
Nowhere man
Nowhere man

And I say...


12.FIRE IN THE SKY

Fire in the sky
Out of the blue
And into the red depths,
Time for you and I
To try and fall asleep
In the bed they've made us,
All came crumbl'n down
Tears in our eyes
As it rained confusion
The whole world has changed

I don't understand
How one can kill a man
In the name peace,
That's ridiculous

They say eye for an eye
So they fire from the sky
And they come out of nowhere
Time for you and I
To turn on the big screen
See what's happnen'
And as those children die,
Pawns in the game of
Collateral damage,
The whole world goes mad

Standing here on quick sand,
The more we fight we sink
And vengeance gives us hope,
At least that what we think,
At least that what we think cause

As we make amends by
Getting our revenge,
We sort nothing out,
Just add to the doubt
And with God on both sides,
If death is justified,
Whatever the name,
Then we're all to blame

So as the spirits fly,
To honor those who've past,
We've got to get along,
While the time still last
Bury the hatchet deep
So we all can weep
And heal all this pain
So, so we can live again,
So,so we can live again 'cos

As we make amends by
Getting our revenge,
We sort nothing out,
Just add to the doubt
And God on both sides,
If death is justified,
Whatever the name,
Then we're all to blame
But I don't understand
How one can kill a man
In the name peace,
That's ridiculous
But I understand
That I will defend
My family from
Both sides of misery


13. GONNA TAKE IT

Smile your lovely smile
And tell me of tomorrows for a while And hold my hand
And tell me, tell me, tell me you understand
'Cos I know your name
And there ain't no one else
I'd trust now with this shame
So, so good woman, open up your heart
And I will take it back to the beginning I will

Yes I am gonna take it
Gonna take it
Gonna take it
Right back from the start
Gonna take it
Gonna take it
Gonna take it right back from the start

'Cos I am weary and I am torn
Been fighting a war that started before yes I was born
And now before it tears my heart clean apart
This is my proclaimation
This is me

She said taste the spice
Don't just hang it up in the corner
Where you think it looks nice
And ah say what needs to be said
'Coz youre health man is your wealth
And you're a long time dead

Yes I am gonna take it
Gonna take it
Gonna take it
Right back from the start
Gonna take it
Gonna take it
Gonna take it right back from the start
