Lyrics


1. MADMAN

I can't release you
You're a mad man
Need help to
Madman, Madman

You're tied to alcohol
It starts to take its toll
Madman, Madman
Oh, Madman, Mad

Mind filled with confusion
Your life's an illusion
Madman, Madman...


2. BLIND

I need to get out
There's something wrong round here
I have no doubt
We're all really down from fear
Everything's dark
And I cannot find
What I've been looking for
So I have to say I'm blind
But he cannot see
But he cannot see
Yeah

If you do
Shed a tear
Don't go near my place
Because I I won't be here
There's no love lost between you and me
And that's the way that I like it
I want to live life like a normal man,
And I think I can, yeah,

But he cannot see,
Yeah, he cannot see,
He's blind, oh yeah,
Ooh, fuck, yeah, alright,

I'm blind,
Oh I'm blind,

If you do,
Shed a tear,
Don't go near my place, baby,
Cause I, I won't be here,
There's no love lost between you and me,
And that's the way that I like it,
I want to live life like a normal man,
And I think I am,

But he cannot see,
Yeah, he cannot see,
He's blind, oh yeah,
Oh, fuck, yeah, alright
Yeah, oh, no, yeah,
Fuck, oh, alright.


3. UNDECIDED

Ohh, there's no time
To choose for yourself
It's like the candle's lit at both ends now
Deteriorating health

Parent's breakin' up
Wish they would decide
Whether to stay together
Can't make up their minds

They wonder why you need someone
You get no freedom at all
They want you to drop down and conform
They make your self-esteem fall

[Chorus]
Undecided, can't make up their mind
Your parents collided and left you behind

If there's a lock to their minds
Can you tell me please
I'll be straight
Straight to get the keys

[Chorus]

Her mother doesn't even know her name...
Undecided
If there is trouble, well she just gets the blame
But denies it

[Chorus]


4. FINDAWAY

Youve been locked up, and you need to escape,
You broke the law, it was a first offence,
Drug addiction, subtracting all your priveleges,
Giving up just makes no sense,

Well find a way,
Well find a way,
Dont give in, dont give in,
Dont give in, dont give in,
Ohhh,

All you can, think about is breakin free,
You cant make it on your own,
Youre thinking negative, nothing can go right,
Its eating you down to the bone,

Well find a way,
Well find a way,
Dont give in, dont give in,
Dont give in, dont give in,
Ohh,

Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh,
Well find a way,
Well find a way,
Dont give in, dont give in,
Dont give in, dont give in,
Ohhhohh.


5. LEAVE ME OUT

Ohh, you can lead a throne
But I'm something you don't own
No...

Greed is a sin
So don't lead me in
Ohh...

Ohh, you can leave me out
Leave me out
Leave me out
Ohh, yeah


6. MADMAN

I can't release you,
You're a mad man,
Need help to,
Madman, Madman

You're tied to alcohol,
It starts to take its toll,
Madman, Madman
Oh, Madman, Mad

Mind filled with confusion,
Your life's an illusion,
Madman, Madman,
Oh...
Ugh,
Madman, Madman
...Madman

9. SUICIDAL DREAM

I dream about how it's going to end
Approaching me quickly
Leaving a life of fear
I only want my mind to be clear

People making fun of me
For no reason but jealousy
I fantasise about my death
I'll kill myself from holding my breath

[Chorus]
My suicidal dream
Voices telling me what to do
My suicidal dream
I'm sure you will get your's too

Help me, comfort me
Stop me from feeling what I'm feeling now
The rope is here, now I'll find a use
I'll kill myself, I'll put my head in a noose

[Chorus]

Dreamin' about my death, dream...

Suicidal, suicidal, Suicidal dream


10. TOMORROW

It's twelve o'clock, and it's a wonderful day
I know you hate me, but I'll ask anyway
Won't you come with me, to a place in a little town
The only way to get there's to go straight down
There's no bathroom, and there is no sink
The water out of the tap is very, hard to drink
Very hard to drink

You, wait til tomorrow
You, wait til tomorrow

You say that money, isn't everything
But I'd like to see you live without it
You think you can keep on going living like a king
Oohh babe, but I strongly doubt it

Very hard to drink

You gonna wait til, fat boy
Fat boy, wait until tomorrow


11. FINDAWAY

You've been locked up, and you need to escape
You broke the law, it was your first offence
Drug addiction, subtracting all your privileges
But giving up just makes no sense

[Chorus]
We'll find a way
We'll find a way

Don't give in, don't give in
Don't give in, don't give in
Ohhh

All you can think about is breaking free
You can't make it on your own
You're thinking negative, nothing can go right
It's eating you down to the bone

[Chorus]


12. FAULLTINE

Unsuspecting brother doesn't know what to do
When everything just falls to the ground, ohh
He runs to find some cover, he doesn't have a clue
That his friend will never be found
When he's informed, that he...

Will never see the boy
Will never see the boy
Never see him open his eyes
Will never see the boy
Never see the boy
You'll only hear his heavenly cries
Ooh, yeah

Thinking of the past, it's all over now
Mother nature strikes once again
It happened all so fast, my only question's how
How could they let that building descend
Ohh, yeah, ohhhh...

You will never see the boy
You will never see the boy
You will never see him open his eyes
You will never see the boy
Never see the boy
You'll only hear his heavenly cries
Ooh, yeah

Off to the new life, I live on death
You're leaving me all through the night
If he's born again, I need you to find
Need you to find where he is


13. LEAVE ME OUT

(See lyrics on track 5)


14. I BELIEVE

Yeah, I can't believe
With the warning
I can't see
With the warning
Will you believe me one more time ?

I can feel it in my heart
Believe, believe
With the moment end
I can't losing my soul
I can't falling soul in

Oh, I can't believe it
I can't believe it's true

Day ! May ! All ! Need !
Oh, oh, oh


15. PURE MASSACRE

People dying for no reason at all
Age is no difference or if you're large or small

Families being torn apart
Doesn't have to be this way
Some people, just have no heart
It's happening every day

[Chorus]
Pure massacre
Pure massacre...

Machine guns pumping, hearts thumping
Death is all around
People crying for freedom
No one hears the sound

[Chorus]

There's people crying
There's people dying
But someone's taken it all, yeah

[Repeat Last Verse]
[Chorus]

It's gonna be a pure massacre
Yeah!


16. SHADE

If you're hurt
Why don't you tell someone
Don't feel bad
You're not the only one, yeah

Don't go hiding
Hiding, in the shade

If you were abused
I'll find someone to help you
I know you were used
What are you gonna' do
Yeah...


17. ISRAEL'S SON

Hate is what I feel for you
And I want you to know that I want you dead
You're late for the execution
If you're not here soon, I'll kill your friend instead

[Chorus]
All the pain I feel
Couldn't start to heal
Although I would like it to

I hate you and your apathy
You can leave, you can leave, I don't want you here
I'm playing this pantomime
But I don't see you showing any signs of fear

[Chorus]

This time I'm for real
My pain can not heal
You will be dead when I'm through

[Chorus]

Pain and execution
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air
The air... yeah

I am, I am Israel's son
Israel's son I am
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air
