Manipulation
by Fear Factory


Your conniving words
Are childishly insane
To get what you want
You'll say anything
In your mind
You lust to control me
You lust
For control

Chorus:
Mold me, fold me
Mold me, fold me

My pain is your pleasure
My agony excites you
Desperate for a change
But change comes within
I'm not staying
Not around you
I'm stronger than you think
Much stronger than you

Molding and folding
Lusting for control

Longing to control
Those without esteem
Ignorant pawns
Of your pathetic dreams

Dying to control
Those without esteem
Ignorant pawns
Of your pathetic dreams

Molding and folding
Lusting for control

Hatred is a tool
Thoughtlessly you use
Ruin an only friend
With misleading rules
Contain your own rage
Give yourself praise
'Cause you have no shame
With your callous game

I missed it

Screaming at the window
Watch me die another day
Hopeless situation endless price I have to pay

Diary of a madman
Walk the line again today
Entries of confusion
Dear diary I'm here to stay

Sanity now it's beyond me
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
there's no choice

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I'm home again

Voices in the darkness
Scream away my mental health
Can I ask a question
To help me save me from myself

Sanity now it's beyond me
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
there's no choice

Burn One Down- Ben Harper


Let us burn one from end to end,
And pass it over to me my friend.
Burn it long, we'll burn it slow,
To light me up before I go.

If you don't like my fire, then don't come around,
'cause I'm gonna burn one down.
Yes, I'm gonna burn one down.

My choice is what I choose to do,
And if I'm causing no harm, it shouldn't bother you.

Your choice is who you choose to be,
And if you're causin' no harm, then you're alright with me.

If you don't like my fire, then don't come around,
'cause I'm gonna burn one down.
Yes, I'm gonna burn one down.

Herb the gift from the earth,
And what's from the earth is of the greatest worth.
So before you knock it try it first,
Oh, you'll see it's a blessing and not a curse.

If you don't like my fire, then don't come around,
'cause I'm gonna burn one down.
Yes, I'm gonna burn one, oohhh.

No new yearss day
To celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring
No song to sing
In fact heres just another ordinary day
No april rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding saturday within the month of june
But what it is
Is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

No summers high
No warm july
No harvest moon to light one tender august night
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
No even time for birds to fly to southern skies
No libra sun
No halloween
No giving thanks to all the christmas joy you bring
But what it is
Though old so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do.

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart

Of my heart
Of my heart

If U see me walkin' down the street one day

When's the last time U seen one of them?

Now U wanna play, now U wanna play crazy

I'm the one that's crazy {fade out}
U're not crazy
Come here
Don't U walk away from me
U hear me talkin' 2 U, baby?
Come here, come here
I'll kick your ass

Throw your hands up to the sky
And scream out loud i'm free
'cause wrong is the new right
So we can cut loose tonight
It costs a lot to look this cheap

Fire makes it burn and water makes it turn
We must still be here living on earth
They keep telling me jesus walked on water
He shoulda surfed

In 1918 the great bambino
Kicked a piano into willis pond
But johnny damon swung a bat
Grand slam that was that
An 86 year curse is gone

Throw your hands up to the sky
And scream i'm not alone
Is it irony or fate
Don't become what you hate
We've all got stardust in our bones

(Work it, make it, do it,
Makes us harder, better, faster, STRONGER!) [played throughout]

(Work it harder make it better,
do it faster makes us stronger,
more than ever, never over,
Our work here is never over) [played throughout]

N-now th-th-that that don't kill me
Can only make me stronger
I need you to hurry up now
Cause I can't wait much longer
I know I got to be right now
Cause I can't get much wronger
Man I been waitin' all night now
That's how long I've been on ya

I need ya right now
I need ya right now

Let's get lost tonight
You can be my black Kate Moss tonight
Play secretary im the boss tonight.
And you don't give a f**k what they all say, right?
Awesome, the Christian in Christian Dior
Damn they don't make 'em like this anymore
I ask, cause I'm not sure
Do anybody make real shit anymore?
Bow in the presence of greatness
Cause right now thou has forsaken us
You should be honored by my lateness
That I would even show up to this fake shit
So go ahead go nuts, go ape shit
Especially in my pastel, my bape shit
Act like you can't tell who made this
New gospel homey take six, and take this, haters

N-n-now th-that that don't kill me
Can only make me stronger
I need you to hurry up now
Cause I can't wait much longer
I know I got to be right now

I don't know if you got a man or not
If you made plans or not
If God put me in your plans or not
I'm trippin', this drink got me sayin' alot
But I know that God put you in front of me
So how the hell could you front on me
There's a thousand yous
And only one of me's
I'm trippin', I'm caught up in the moment right?
'Cause it's Louis Vuitton Don night
So we goin' do everything that Kan like
Heard they'd do anything for a Klondike
Well I'd do anything for a blonde dyke
And she'll do anything for the limelight
And we'll do anything when the time's right
Ugh, baby you're makin' it
(Harder, better, faster, stronger)

N-n-now th-that that don't kill me
Can only make me stronger
I need you to hurry up now
Cause I can't wait much longer
I know I got to be right now
Cause I can't get much wronger
Man I been waitin' all night now
That's how long I've been on ya

I need ya right now

You know how long I've been on ya?
Since prince was on Apollonia
Since OJ had Isotoners
Don't act like I never told ya [x5]

(Harder, better, faster, stronger)

N-n-now th-that that don't kill me
Can only make me stronger
I need you to hurry up now
Cause I can't wait much longer
I know I got to be right now
Cause I can't get much wronger
Man I been waitin' all night now

I like it

I think Ms Sweeny likes it too judging by her Myspace acct.

Pray God you can cope.
I stand outside this woman's work,
This woman's world.
Ooh, it's hard on the man,
Now his part is over.
Now starts the craft of the father.

I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things I should've said,
That I never said.
All the things we should've done,
Though we never did.
All the things I should've given,
But I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go,
Make it go away.

Give me these moments back.
Give them back to me.
Give me that little kiss.
Give me your hand.

(I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.)

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things we should've said,
That we never said.
All the things we should've done,
Though we never did.
All the things that you needed from me.
All the things that you wanted for me.
All the things that I should've given,
But I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go away.
Just make it go away now.

Ben Harper/Fight Outta You

They'll look you in the eyes and stone you
Then turn and disown you, don't you let them take the fight outta you
They'll walk all over your name 'til they find someone else to blame, don't let them take the
fight outta you
Secrets hide their lies inside hidden alibis, don't let them take the fight outta you
They put the world on a hook, it's worse every time I look
Don't let them take the fight outta you

I would rather take a punch than not give you a shot
I'd rather find out who you are than who you're not
Should have known better than to mistake business for love
Should have known better than to mistake a fist for a glove

It will be in your honor 'til you're not needed any longer, don't let them take the fight
outta you
Don't believe the headlines, check it for yourself sometimes, don't let them take the fight
outta you
The lies you live become you, the love you lose it numbs you, don't let them take the fight
outta you
They say that you've arrived but that's just a high-class bribe, don't let them take the fight
outta you

There's always someone younger, someone with more hunger, don't let them take the fight outta
you
They'll say you're the one and only
Then straight up leave you lonely, don't let them take the fight outta you
Like a transplant-patient waiting for a donor, don't let them take the fight outta you
Like a half empty balloon after a party in the corner, don't let them take the fight outta you

i was listening 2 it yesterday and a image of my x came across my mind ..it suits her just fine

I wanna talk 2 U 'bout this love affair
(Talk 2 U, said I wanna talk 2 U)
Is it really true that U don't care?
(Really true, tell me is it really true?)
Seem like every day U grow farther away, uh huh
(Every day, seem like every day)
Tell me what can I say 2 make U stay?
(Tell me what can I say, make U stay)

Cuz if U really don't love me anymore
I just don't know what 2 say
There's a train that's leavin' in the morning
That will take U straight 2 Santa Fe
If U feel the thing we got just can't go on
Then I won't stand in your way
I won't stand in your way {x2}
No, no

I'm so in love with U, U're all I wanna be
(I'm so in love with U, U're all I wanna be)
Whenever U go away, baby, U take a part of me, yes U do
(Whenever U go away, U take part of me, yes U do)
Man gotta do what he gotta do
But remember, baby, wherever U go, I'm with U, oh (I'll be with U)
Whoo (Cuz I need U)

If U really don't love me anymore
I just don't know what 2 say
Cuz there's a train that's leavin' in the mornin'
That will take U straight 2 Santa Fe
If U feel the thing we got just can't go on
I won't stand in your way {x3}


If U really don't love me anymore
I just don't know what 2 say (I ain't got nothing 2 say)
There's a train that's leavin' in the mornin'
That will take U straight 2 Santa Fe (Take U, take U on your way)
If U feel the thing we got just can't go on
I won't stand in your way {x4}

Ah, I love to look into your big brown eyes
They talk to me and seem to hypnotize
They say the things nobody dares to say
And I'm not about to let you fly away

My lover with no jet lag
We're staying up all night in my sleeping bag
You got a heart beat rhythm from the subterrain
I really love you little girl
I don't need to explain

(Chorus)
I love you 'cause your Deuces Are Wild, girl
Like a double shot of lovin' so fine
I been lovin' you since you was a child, girl
'Cause you and me is two of a kind

Ah, like deja vu I feel like I've been here
Or somewhere else but you've been always near
It's you that's in my dreams I'm begging for
But I woke up when someone slammed the door

So hard I fell outta bed
Screamin' mama's little baby loves shortnin' bread
And the moral of the story
I can testify
I get stoned on you girl
That's the best reason why

Missed U
Called U
Found U
Begged U
Convinced U
Saw U
Held U
Kissed U
Fondled U
Tempt U
Undress U
Smelled U
Wanted U
Asked U
Thanked U
Minded U
Hurt U
Disappoint U
Fuck U
Had U

What's this strange relationship that we hold on 2?

Baby I just can't stand 2 see U happy
More than that I hate 2 see U sad
Honey if U left me I just might do something rash
What's this strange relationship? (ship, ship, ship)

I came and took your love, I took your body
I took all the self respect U ever had
I took U 4 a ride and baby I'm sorry
The more U love me sugar, the more it makes me mad

Baby I just can't stand 2 see U happy
More than that I hate 2 see U sad
Honey if U left me I just might do something rash
What's this strange relationship? (ship, ship, ship)

Isn't it a shame this ain't a movie
Then U could rewrite my every line
I'll take all the blame, yo baby I'm sorry
But I didn't like the way U where, so I had 2 make U mine

Baby I just can't stand 2 see U happy

Brand New Colony - The Postal Service


I'll be the grapes fermented
Bottled and served with the table set
In my finest suit, like a perfect gentleman

I'll be the fire escape
That's bolted to the ancient brick
Where you will sit and contemplate your day

I'll be the waterwings
That save you if you start drowning
In an open tab when your judgement's on the brink

I'll be the phonograph
That plays your favorite albums back
As you're lying there, drifting off to sleep . . .

I'll be the platform shoes
And undo what heredity's done to you
You won't have to strain to look into my eyes

I'll be your winter coat
Buttoned and zipped straight to the throat
With the collar up so you won't catch cold

I want to take you far
From the cynics in this town
And kiss you on the mouth
We'll cut our bodies free
From the tethers of this scene
Start a brand new colony
Where everything will change
We'll give ourselves new names
(Identities erased)
The sun will heat the ground
Under our bare feet
In this brand new colony

Everything will change, ooo ooo . . .

I can't love U anymore
So I'm walkin out the door
I can't watch u die like this
When it's in lieu of your kiss

I can't look into your eyes
IF I do I only cry
cuz u seem so far away
I Would B A FOOL TO STAY

Cuz everday I would b faking
While my heart would just b breaking in 2
Oh what a bore
I CAN'T LOVE U.
NO, I CAN'T LOVE U ANYMORE

I can't make u understand
that all the riches in one's hand
is like an actor without a part
BUT THERE'S NO REAL LOVE IN YOUR HEART

U can call me unforgiving
But I just can't watch u living a lie
so that's why I CAN'T LOVE U
NO, I CAN'T LOVE U ANYMORE =(

Bedouin Soundclash Walls Fall Down

When the walls fall down
On your old town
Then you began

See I had these walls
Built up so strong
Built when I was young
In wars I've won

But if I'm alone
Stone upon stone
So tall I could not see
Beyond my wall

But your walls fall down
And your walls fall down
And when walls come down
On your old town
You began

A bit unassured
A bit insecure
I climbed up to the top
And saw I lacked
And my fist stone cracked
Foundation collapsed


Standing on the ground
In stones I found

That your walls fall down
And your walls fall down
And when walls come down
On your old town
You began

In other lands
From where you stand
Beneath a shelter built by many hands
There is a stone
And you've locked the door
Of people you were swore
you came for war

And your walls fall down
Walls fall down
Walls fall down
Like a stone falls down
Im just a stone
Im just a stone
Its just a stone
Stone falls down
Says hes a stone

I'm not sure what I'm looking for anymore
I just know that I'm harder to console
I don't see who I'm trying to be instead of me
But the key is a question of control

Can you say what you're trying to play anyway
I just pay while you're breaking all the rules
All the signs that I find have been underlined
Devils thrive on the drive that is fueled

All this running around, well it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe all the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve something that rings true

There's a hole in your soul like an animal
With no conscience, repentance unknown
Close your eyes, pay the price for your paradise
Devils feed on the seeds that are sown

I can't conceal what I feel, what I know is real
No mistaking the faking, I care
With a prayer in the air I will leave it there
On a note full of hope not despair

All this running around, well it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe all the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve something that rings true

All this running around, well it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe all the dreams you concieve
You just need to achieve something that rings true

I've held your hand so many times
But I still get the feeling I felt the very first time
I've kissed your lips and laid with you
And I cherish every moment we spend in each other's arms
I guess my eyes can only see as far as you
I only want to be with you

We've come so far in so little time
Sometimes I wonder if this is meant to be
Sometimes you are so very kind
That the nights you're not with me I'm scared that you're gonna leave

I guess you could say that I'm just being a fool
But I only want to be with you

I guess you could say that I'm just being a fool
But I always, always want to be with you

Oh, wow, man, I said
Wait a second, man
What do you think the teacher's gonna look like this year?
Fuck man!

Uh!
Oh yeah!

T-T-teacher stop that screamin'
Teacher don't you see?
Don't wanna be no uptown fool
Maybe I should go to hell
But I am doing well
Teacher needs to see me after school

I think of all the education that I've missed
But then my homework was never quite like this!

Ow! Got it bad,
Got it bad,
Got it bad,
I'm hot for teacher!
I've got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher!

Hey, I heard you missed us
We're back! (Hey!)
I brought my pencil
Give me something to write on, man!
Whoa

Uh!

Ooo-oo-ooo

I heard about your lessons
but lessons are so cold
I didn't know about this school
Little girl from Cherry Lawn
How can you be so bold?
How did you know that golden rule?

I think of all the education that I've missed
But then my homework was never quite like this!

Whoa! Got it bad,
Got it bad,
Got it bad,
I'm hot for teacher!
I've got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher!

Whoa!
(Guitar Solo)

Oh man, I think the clock is slow
(What are you doin' this weekend?) I don't feel tardy
Class dismissed!
Ooh-yeah!

I've got it bad,
Got it bad,
Got it bad,
I'm hot for teacher!

I've got it bad,
Got it bad,
Got it bad,
I'm hot for teacher!

Whoa!
Oh! Ooh, yes I'm hot
Wow!


Whoa!
Oh! Ooh, yes I'm hot
Wow!

Oh my God!
Woo!

Quelqu’un me demande
Comment je conçois la vie
Surtout par ces temps-ci

Je lui réponds
Je ne peux que la voir en rose

Quelqu’un me demande
Si je la perçois encore ainsi
Hors de mon paradis

Je lui dis pour moi la vie
C’est de la prose

Prendre le temps
Me faire des illusions
Croire dans le bon
Flâner dans les champs
Appelle-moi naïve

Ne pas juger vite
Tresser des marguerites
Refuser d’être
Sur le qui-vive
Appelle-moi naïve

Tu me regardes, t’approches de moi
Quand tu me prends dans tes bras
Ta voix, tes lèvres sur les miennes, tu oses
Je vois la vie en rose

Prendre le temps
Suivre mon intuition
Croire dans le bon
Flâner dans les champs
Appelle-moi naïve

Ne pas juger vite
Tresser des marguerites
Refuser d’être
Sur le qui-vive
Appelle-moi naïve

Prendre le temps
Quelqu’un me demande
Comment je conçois la vie

Me faire des illusions
Quelqu’un me demande
Et surtout par ces temps-ci

Croire dans le bon
Quelqu’un me demande
Flâner dans les champs si en rose je la vois, eh bien oui

Appelle-moi naïve
Quelqu’un me demande
Après mon pays ‘UTOPIE’

Ne pas juger vite
Quelqu’un me demande
Si la prose me séduit

Tresser des marguerites
Quelqu’un me demande
Si je m’ oppose par ceci

Refuser d’être
Je lui réponds

Sur le qui-vive
Je suis riche j’ai des perles... de pluie

Appelle-moi naïve et plus tard
En rose je teindrai mes cheveux gris

Appelle-moi naïve

Hate On Me - Jill Scott

If I could give you the world
On a silver platter
Would it even matter?
You'd still be mad at me

If I could find in all this
A dozen roses
Which I would give to you
You'd still be miserable

In reality, I'm gon' be who I be
And I don't feel no faults
For all the lies that you bought
You can try as you may
Break me down but I say
That it ain't up to you
Gone and do what you do

(Chorus)
Hate on me, hater
Now or later
'Cuz I'm gonna do me
You'll be mad, baby
(Go 'head and hate)
Go 'head and hate on me, hate on
'Cuz I'm not afraid of it
What I got I paid for
You can hate on me

Ooh, if I gave you peaches
Out of my own garden
And I made you a peach pie
Would you slap me high

What if I gave you diamonds
Out of my own womb
Would you feel the love in that,
Or ask "why not the moon"?

If I gave you sanity
For the whole of humanity,
Had all the solutions
For the pain and pollution

No matter where I live,
Despite the things I give,
You'll always be this way
So go 'head and....

(Chorus)

You cannot hate on me
'Cuz my mind is free
Feel my destiny
So shall it be
