"That's How We Like It"

"That's How We Like It"


Did somebody change the channel?
I left it on thirteen
The president will explain this all to me
I don't need a fitness trainer
To be all that I can be
This little remote is all I really need

That's how we like it!

They target a destination
We watch it disappear
Don't you think it's time we had another beer?
The lines of communication
Are always the first to go
They've done it again
The patriots stole the show

That's how we like it!

[Chorus:]
When we get bored
We watch a war on my TV
And I'm surrounded by my friends
And that's how we like it!
When we get bored
We watch a war on live TV
We never know how it will end
And that's how we like it!

[Repeat Chorus]

"The 13th Generation"

"The 13th Generation"


The year is 1945
And number 12 has now arrived
This is where we all came from
Can you undo what we have done?
It's time to face our own worst fears
The 13th generation's here
And what you see is what you get
So take a seat we're not done yet
So here we are!
We've reached the top floor
We've pushed all the buttons
There aren't any more
Do you think it's time
That we all took a break?
Or maybe we should cross our fingers
And sit here and wait
Now that you're here
Did you think there was more?
Hey! Get those grubby fingers
Away from that door
Why are you standing there
Wearing that frown?
We've got somewhere to go
We can all go down!
And now that you've had
The ride of your life
Have you got any questions
I don't charge for advice
Why are you standing there
Wearing that frown?
We've got somewhere to go
We can all go down!
After 1944
Number 11 ends the war
This is where we all came from
Can you undo what we have done
It's time to face our own worst fears
The 13th generation's here
And what you see is what you get
So take a seat, we're not done yet

"The Cross"

"The Cross"


How long have you been like this?
Is there anything I can do?
One can only imagine what you've been through
How long have you been waiting?
It looks like you could use a friend
If I put you back together could you start again?
Would you start again?
Tell me father, when will I get my cross?
Tell me father
Tell me how many pieces
Does it take to make you whole?
Maybe I should take you home,
And neither of us would have to be alone
Tell me father, when will I get my cross?
Tell me father
Tell me father, when will I get my cross?
Tell me father

"The Cross (Home #3)"

"The Cross (Home #3)"


The boy is here, he won’t say much I don’t know why
One thing is clear, we know he had a troubled life
You are not who I had in mind
I don’t know where I belong, but I’m sure that it’s not here

Is he just shy, what do you think he’s got to hide
Maybe in time, we’ll find out what’s behind those eyes
I don’t think that you understand
All I want is to find out who I am

Tell me father, when will I get my cross?
When will I get my cross?

I don’t know how, I wonder what would make him smile
Look at him now, he stares at me like I’m on trial
I need to know is he still alive
And if so, is my mother still his wife?
He’s just a child, he’s still got time to start again
Give him a while
The boy just needs a friend

Tell me father, when will I get my cross?
When will I get my cross?
When will I get my cross?
When will I get my cross?

"The Flyer"

"The Flyer"


Back in ten minutes
And I'll just hang the sign
I've got to find a place
To clear my mind
[Chorus:]
I'm the flyer
With only one desire
I'm the flyer
Nobody's gonna shoot me down
I've got an urgent appointment
And I can't be late
I've got a million things
That have to wait
Just hang on a minute
I'll try to hurry back
I hate to make you wait
But I'm going and I'm going fast
[Chorus]
I fly- and never look back
I fly away before they shoot me down
I fly
I'll hang the sign and find a place to clear my mind
I fly- and never look back
I fly away before they shoot me down
I fly
Hate to make you wait

"The Further You Go"

"The Further You Go"


So once again the spoils are yours for the taking
Feel free to count them while you sleep
But with your tendency to wander in circles
Drift off, but not too deep

Your faith of late has got you running in circles
But your secrets's safe with me

Take a number and close your eyes
We'll make sure you're satisfied
Hold your breath and count to ten
We'll tell you where and tell you when
Take a number and close your eyes
Convince yourself you're just in time
Hold your breathe and count to ten
We'll take you there and back again 'cause

These are the days of the improbable my friend
So we hold on the hope that one day all our dreams collide

The further you go, the harder it gets,
The more that you know
Wake up...
The further you go, the harder it gets,
The more that you know
Wake up...

You might wanna leave a trail of crumbs for the future
Just a few along the way
'Cause that look tells me that you're still running in circles
Ah, but your secret stays with me

These are the days of the improbable my friend
So we hold on the hope that one day all our dreams collide

The further you go, the harder it gets,
The more that you know
Wake up...
The further you go, the harder it gets,
The more that you know
Wake up...

The further you go, the harder it gets to remember
How you got here
The further you go, the harder it gets to remember
How to find the way back home

"The Interview"

"The Interview"


Good afternoon! May I introduce myself?
With a story to be told you may need help
I know you were a headline for some time
But now you're part of a motionless mime
Lights have dimmed and times have changed
And the world is watching a different stage
Don't you think it's time we had a younger face?
You can slip away with no disgrace
So tell me...
How long should we wait around
Don't you understand, when you're down we're down?
The memory of a lasting fame
Is better fed on reruns, no shame
So tell me...
There's one thing I must know
Tell me why you can't let go
There's one thing we must know
Tell me, why won't you let go?
How long do you think you'll last
Living with a continuous past
As you stare at us we say,
"You're looking less like me each day!"
And there's one thing I must know
Tell me why you can't let go
There's one thing we must know
Tell me, why won't you let go?
Tell me
Why can't you let go?

"The Learning Tree"

"The Learning Tree"


I'd better be careful with what I say
One wrong word & all will change
Dialing a number in a darkened room
My heart is pounding, 'cause you might be coming soon
What makes you think you know what's good for me
There's so much goin' on that you can't see
Don't think you will ever make me like you
Whatever you do, I will undo "They're not like us!"
Who I'm with, where I go, and what I do
From now on, it's not up to you
You might push a few of us out of reach
But we're never gonna practice what you preach
All I know is this don't feel right to me
And I'm never gonna be what you want me to be
"They're not like us!"
"It's not like you've never done anything for me"
"Believe me, you've done more than enough"
"And you've given me plenty"
You gave me sight, you made me close my eyes
You gave me the truth, you taught me how to lie
You gave me this air that I can't breathe
You gave me a future I'm not sure I wanna see
You gave me hope, you made me insecure
You made me think that you had the only cure
You gave me horizons I'll never see
You gave me scars I'm sure that will never heal
You gave me faith, you made me doubt myself
You gave me the rope, you let me hang myself
You gave me something to be afraid of
You made me what I am today!
You gave the key, you made me lock the door
You gave me pain, you made me beg for more
You gave me this air that I can't breathe
You gave me a future I'm not sure I wanna see
You gave me strength, you made me feel so weak
You gave me the truth, you made me disbelieve
You gave me something to be afraid of
You made what I am today!

"The Nineties"

"The Nineties"


No way I'm ready for 2001
Some things have got to change before that day comes
It's touch and go, excuse me have you got the time
We know what happened here we don't need a judge
When someone shouts "incoming" now it's, here comes the sun
And we don't have to wait 'til 1999
So are you ready for some changes
And if we're gonna do it, let's be dangerous
[Chorus:]
So when the nineties come
We'll do what must be done
And when the nineties come
We'll sing a different song
I don't know to patch a hole in the sky
I only know that we had better try
This is the game and you don't have to qualify
We only get one chance so let's make it good
Unless you think you'll need some firewood
And we can hardly wait 'till 1999
So are you ready to make some changes
And if we're gonna do it, let's be dangerous.
[Chorus x2]

"The One"

"The One"


Can someone tell me who I've got to pay
to help me find a remedy?
Now I'm not sure I can wait another day
'cause I'm my own worst enemy
There was a time I thought I knew the way
but that's all ancient history
Cause every time I feel that I am there
I'm never where I want to be
Tell me, "Why do I still dream about you?"
I wonder where you'll be, when I'm gone.
Now I know you are the one
I guess you've always been the one
I don't know why I run away
every time I hear your name
So maybe I should find another way
It's time to come in from the rain
"Why do I still dream about you?"
I wonder where you'll be when I'm gone?
Now I know you are the one
I guess you've always been the one
So, now I know you are the one
Someone tell me who I've got to pay
to help me find a remedy
Now I'm not sure I can wait another day
now I'm my own worst enemy
Why do I still dream about you
I wonder where you'll be, when I am gone?
I guess you've always been the one.
