1. PROMISES BROKEN (REMIX)

Streets are filled with broken glass
You get buried by the past
And give me just a little taste
Lay this mask to waste

Take me home

My mind is racing, take me home
My body's aching, so alone
I'll make you want to stay with me
Befriended by the enemy

One more time

And every little thing about this tells me
Nothing out there is ever gonna help me
All these words that I hear spoken
Just promises broken now

Looking outside from my window sill
Throw another coin in the wishing well
You'll never find
What you're looking for

Fifteen miles
Your dim light shines from so far away
Your sad smile is all I see
When I say

Every little thing about this tells me
Nothing out there is ever gonna help me
All these words that I have spoken
Just promises broken now

From the hotel satellite
Don't look like you're living right
Here's a deal you can't refuse
You ain't got as much to lose

Can you tell your troubles to
Someone who won't laugh at you?

It's alright

As I watch you walk away
Hoping part of you will stay

It's alright

And every little thing about this tells me
Nothing out there is ever gonna help me
All these words that I hear spoken
Just promises broken now

3. FEARLESS LEADER

Jesus was a hippie
Peace and love was all he was about
That's why they killed him
'Cause that shit's something people can't figure out

Now some folks who worship him are the ones
Who would have cheered at the crucifixion
They got no conviction
It doesn't matter if the man was fact or fiction

Nixon was a liar
It's the one thing believed to be true
But Tricky Dick was not a crook
Whatever that means, whatever presidents do

Money can't buy you children
And nothing can bring them back to you
We all make mistakes
We all need someone to look up to

But who're you gonna call your fearless leader?
Who's gonna put your fears to bed?
'Cause heroes will never let you down
Just as long as they're dead

Satan is a feeling, deviance it lurks in everyone
Guilty pleasures, mischievous behavior can be fun
No one made you do it, nobody but yourself to blame
It's always at your door and trouble is its name

But who're you gonna call your fearless leader?
Who's gonna put your fears to bed?

Sometimes you gotta pick and choose
Sometimes, no matter what, you lose

Divine was a woman
His private parts said she was a man
Those were his private parts
The parts that he could never understand

But she was an actress
She could be anything that she wanted
Her reality was the very
Thing that she flaunted

But who're you gonna call your fearless leader?
Who's gonna put your fears to bed?
Heroes will never let you down
Just as long as they're dead

But who're you gonna call your fearless leader?
When you run from fear you leave yourself behind
You can't dump your fears on someone else
'Cause it's all in your mind


4. YOU'LL LIVE FOR NOW

Some people ain't got no choice
But we do
Some people ain't got no voice
But we do

And if you don't want to live
If you don't want to live, I'll live for you
If you don't want to live
If you don't want to live, I'll live for you

I would do anything
Just to keep my mind off it
I would do anything
Just to keep my mind off you

Some people ain't got no chance
But we do
Some people they like to die
But we don't

And if you don't want to live
If you don't want to live, I'll live for you
If you don't want to live
If you don't want to live, I'll live for you

And I would do anything
Just to keep my mind off it
I would do anything
Just to keep my mind off it, oh

I'll live for you, I'll live for you
I'll live for you


5. PAINKILLER

I ain't lyin'
I ain't cryin'

And I don't have the time to be reading your mind
And the piece that I lose ain't as much as I find
I don't care what you do
I don't care what you say
Just as long as you're here at the end of the day
Don't you bring no dismay
You know I'll be okay
Just as long as I get things back my way without tricks (magic)

Without tricks (magic) (x3)

And I can't let her know I know what I'm doing (x4)

I ain't fakin'
I feel naked

And I don't understand what went wrong with the plan
And it seems the supplies didn't meet the demand
But you know that it's true and that I never knew
What to say what to do just to satisfy you
Nothing there up my sleeve and I'm sick of this stint
But I know what I want, I want magic without tricks

I want magic without tricks (magic)
Without tricks

And I can't let her know I know what I'm doing (x8)


6. GONE FORGOTTEN

The checkered floor was checkered no more
They tore out the floors and the ceiling
And the place has a stale smell of old memories
And the fixtures are there for the stealing

But who wants to buy these memories now
With a sweetness like candy that's cotton
Who wants yesterday's news today
Gone once, gone twice
Gone forgotten

There's a dirty old mattress full of stains and burns
And each one tells a story
And it's been through bed-wetting and a couple of weddings
Through nightmares and wet dreams of glory

But who wants to buy these memories now
With a sweetness like candy that's cotton
Who wants yesterday's news today
Gone once, gone twice
Gone forgotten

Gone forgotten
Gone forgotten

I gotta walk away from these dirty old shoes
They've been in too many places
But I'm hung out to dry by my laces

But who wants to buy these memories now
With a sweetness like candy that's cotton
Who wants yesterday's news today
Gone once, gone twice
Gone, gone, gone, gone forgotten

Gone forgotten (x5)


7. MOTELL NOTELL

Welcome to Motel Americana
You can be anything you wanna
All our massacres happened such a long time ago
Welcome to Motel Notell uh-huh

Well this motel's built on murder
On slavery and scorn
I ain't never seen such a mixed up places since the day that I was born
And this motel's not your motel
This motel's not mine
We are only here as visitors
We are here for a very short time

I got make me a reservations
I was out there on vacation
Things were greener than they should be
I'm not sure 'cause I'm from the city
Check in, check out to Motel Notell
May your stay be short and sweet

Now I'm smokin' American Spirits
And I got my tomahawk chop
I'll be drinkin' down my crazy horse ‘til somebody cuts me off
And this land is not your land
This land is not mine
We are only here as visitors
We are here for a very short time

So check in, check out to Motel Notell
You gotta pay or you're out on the street
And there's no one there
There's no one there to care for ya
May your stay be short and sweet
