The Living End

[fox69]

"Homestead"

"Homestead"


Once there was a place
So pure and so easy
Drifting through the days
There's no need for change

Like a scene from the yet to be civilised
Like a dream until you open your eyes
Like a scene from the yet to be, yet to be civilised

What then became
A revolution change

Like hell I'm not gonna follow
By god I'm not gonna grovel
Like hell I'm not gonna, not gonna follow

We'd like you to be here tomorrow night
To publish your own destiny

Like hell I'm not gonna follow
By god I'm not gonna grovel
Like hell I'm not gonna, not gonna follow

We'd like you to be here tomorrow night
To publish your own destiny
We'd like you to be here

Once there was a place
So pure and easy

"Hopeless (Demo)"

"Hopeless (Demo)"


Evidently, it's seems obvious
That the planet is too small for us

Heaven help me to understand how
Half of us have everything
And the other half go without

And now my head hurts
And now my heart aches
And have we not learned a single thing?

We all don't have to walk the same line
Victims living in Hopeless times
With power and greed as a spreading disease
Worth more then a life

And if we begin to cross the line
We are all we have
Connected with out minds
And bleeding with our hearts

Those who live in hell
Trying to resist
They never thought
It would ever come to this

Well don't you dare look down on me
This is my home this is my heart
What I need and what I have
Two things that couldn't be further apart

And now my head hurts
And now my heart aches
And have we not learned a single thing?

We all don't have to walk the same line
Victims living in Hopeless times
With Power and Greed as a spreading disease
Worth more then a life

And if we begin to cross the line
We are all we have
Connected with our minds
And bleeding with our hearts

But in time
Luck will turn the wind

And if we begin to cross the line
We are all we have
Connected with our minds
And bleeding with our hearts

Evidently it's seems obvious
That the planet is too small for us

Heaven help me to understand how
Half of us have everything
And the other half go without

And if you don't ask and you wont change anything

We all don't have to walk the same line
Victims living in Hopeless times
With Power and Greed as a spreading disease
Worth more then a life

And if we begin to cross the line
We are all we have
Connected with our minds
And bleeding with our hearts

But in time
We'll drink the wine
But in time
We will drink the wine

"How Do We Know?"

"How Do We Know?"


We've been waiting
On the front line
We've been preparing our entire lives
for this day to arrive

And no doubt this will be
Part of our history
We're making our move
and we're breaking out on the grind

Today the new age
We'll rise up
State our case
Throw it down

And after the rain
The only ones that still remain
Standing proud
Separated from the crowd

(How do we know? How do we know?)
Turn on the light
(How do we know? How do we know?)
I need to decide
(How do we know? How do we know?)
Because we may not
(How do we know? How do we know?)
Survive tonight
(How do we know? How do we know?)
But I'll take my chance
(How do we know? How do we know?)
Spare me the romance
(How do we know? How do we know?)
And we'll give it all
(How do we know? How do we know?)
That we can

New information
Coming down the line
But as far as I can tell
It's just the blind leading the blind

I see frustration
Written in the eyes
Of a disaffected race
Being born under a bad sign

Today the new age
We'll rise up
State our case
Throw it down

And after the rain
The only ones that still remain
Standing proud
Separated from the crowd

(How do we know? How do we know?)
Turn on the light
(How do we know? How do we know?)
I need to decide
(How do we know? How do we know?)
Because we may not
(How do we know? How do we know?)
Survive tonight
(How do we know? How do we know?)
But I'll take my chance
(How do we know? How do we know?)
Spare me the romance
(How do we know? How do we know?)
And we'll give it all
(How do we know? How do we know?)
That we can

Today will be the last day
Tomorrow everything will change...

(How do we know? How do we know?)
Turn on the light
(How do we know? How do we know?)
I need to decide
(How do we know? How do we know?)
Because we may not
(How do we know? How do we know?)
Survive tonight
(How do we know? How do we know?)
But I'll take my chance
(How do we know? How do we know?)
Spare me the romance
(How do we know? How do we know?)
And we'll give it all
(How do we know? How do we know?)
That we can

Today will be the last day
Tomorrow everything will change

"I Can't Give You What I Haven't Got"

"I Can't Give You What I Haven't Got"


Don't go getting yourself in a knot
Looking for the story but you have no plot
Communication lines are starting to rot
And I can't give you what I haven't got

If I could make the world stop still for you
I wouldn't waste another moment thinking it through
But the capabilities I have not
And I can't give you what I haven't got

You wanted me to be
Something that I can't see
You wanted me to do
Something that I can't do

And it's always just the same
And I'm still playing in this endless game
I wonder if you even know my name
And I can't give you what I haven't got

Go!

You wanted me to be
Something that I can't see
You wanted me to do
Something that I can't do

So don't go getting yourself in a knot
Looking for the story but you have no plot
Communication lines are starting to rot
And I can't give you what I haven't got
(can't give you what I haven't got)

Take the car, the house, the dog, the boat
The whole fucking lot
I can't give you what I haven't got
(can't give you what I haven't got)

I can't give you what I haven't got

"I Don't Wanna Wait (Demo)"

"I Don't Wanna Wait (Demo)"


This
Can take a long long time
I don't mean to whine

Well I'm
Losing my patience yeah,
Frustrated yeah

Now it's taking too long
Let me carry on
I'm early when I wanna be late

Stand before I fall
Lean against the wall
And I don't wanna wait

I
Wanna carry on my way
Don't wanna take all day

Well I'm
Disintegrated yeah
Frustrated yeah

Now it's taking too long
Let me carry on
I'm early when I wanna be late

Stand before I fall
Lean against the wall
And I don't wanna wait

Why must I play
Imaginary mind games

Cos I'm sick and tired of staring at the walls
And I don't wanna wait

Cos I'm sick and tired of staring at the walls
And I don't wanna wait

Well this
Can take a long long time
I don't mean to whine

Well I'm
Losing my patience yeah,
Frustrated yeah

Now it's taking too long
Let me carry on
I'm early when I wanna be late

Stand before I fall
Lean against the wall
And I don't wanna wait

Oh I don't wanna wait
Oh I don't wanna wait
Oh I don't wanna wait

"I Get A Kick Out Of You"

"I Get A Kick Out Of You"


I get no kick from champagne,
Mere alcohol,
Doesn't thrill me at all,
So tell me why should it be true,
That I get a kick out of you.

Some made me go for cocaine,
I'm sure that if,
I took even one sniff,
It would bore me terrifically too,
Yet I get a kick out of you.

I get a kick every time I see you
Standing there before me,
I get a kick though it's clear to see,
That you obviously do not adore me.

I get no kick in a plane,
Flying too high,
With some girl in the sky,
Is my idea of nothing to do,
Yet I get a kick out of you.

[Instrumental break]

I get a kick every time I see you,
Standing there before me,
I get a kick though it's clear to see,
That you obviously do not adore me.

I get no kick in a plane,
Flying too high,
With some girl in the sky,
Is my idea of nothing to do,
Yet I get a kick,
You can give me a boat
I get a kick out of you.

"I Want A Day"

"I Want A Day"


10:50, 3 minutes till
Till 11, I don't want the alarm again
9:30, 3 minutes till
On the way to work, not smiling

I know time to go and punch my card in
Today, just another day at 11
Gotta help, so much to tidy up
Too much too soon!

I want a day when I don't have to get up
Sometimes I'm sick of being in a rut
I want a day where I don't have to go to work
This low life job makes me feel like a jerk

So dirty, burnt fingers to the bone
Not fair to be left to the job all alone
No help no, no credit for
Making sure this evil machine doesn't stop

I know time to go and punch my card in
Today, just another day at 11
Gotta help, so much to tidy up
Too much too soon!

Am I gonna spend
Every day of my life living this way
NO WAY!

I want a day when I don't have to get up
Sometimes I'm sick of being in a rut
I want a day where I don't have to go to work
This low life job makes me feel like a jerk

I want a day when I don't have to get up
Sometimes I'm sick of being in a rut
I want a day where I don't have to go to work
this low life job makes me feel like a jerk

"I've Just Seen A Face"

"I've Just Seen A Face"


I've just seen a face,
I can't forget the time or place
Where we just meet.
She's just the girl for me
And want all the world to see
We've met, mmm-mmm-mmm-m'mmm-mmm.
Had it been another day
I might have looked the other way
And I'd have never been aware.
But as it is I'll dream of her
Tonight, di-di-di-di'n'di.
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
I have never known
The like of this, I've been alone
And I have missed things
And kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite
Like this, da-da-n'da-da'n'da.
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
I've just seen a face,
I can't forget the time or place
Where we just meet.
She's just the girl for me
And want all the world to see
We've met, mmm-mmm-mmm-da-da-da.
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
Oh, falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.

"In The End"

"In The End"


Well there's something that I really
Need to say
Have you ever wondered why the
Truth is hard to say
Why must it be this way

A broken deal
And now it's time to pay
Trying hard to understand
What happened yesterday
But it's the game we play

I see the red light signal
Calling me home the red lights are
See the red light and they're
Calling me home

The powers above us
Show that you love us
Don't take me away

In the end it's just another day
And there's no explanation
Or a plan that you can make
And you can't hide away

Well you can try and plan
Tomorrow's news today
But everything that you want
Is not gonna go your way
The end isn't far away

"In The Morning"

"In The Morning"


Typical morning,
suburban town
Waking up to
familiar sound
Father complainin'
about the company rules
Mother does her best now
Makes sure the kids aren't late for school

Behind the brave face,
mother holds the fear
She looks for the answers
in the pages of the new idea
She knows his secrets,
where it is he goes
Into the arms of another
She'll wait for the children to come home
Then she'll go

(We're gonna)
Leave in the morning
(We're gonna get out)
Leave in the morning
(We'll give no warning)
Leave in the morning
(We're gonna get out)
Leave in the morning

And in the morning
This is no accident, no everything was planned
Nobody ever really tried to understand
That we need to get out
But we're never gonna leave this suburban town

Typical evening,
suburban town
We're going to sleep to
familiar sound
Father complainin'
about the company rules
Mother isn't here anymore
The kids are always late for school

(We're gonna)
Leave in the morning
(We're gonna get out)
Leave in the morning
(We'll give no warning)
Leave in the morning
(We're gonna get out)
Leave in the morning

But we're never gonna leave here
