"One Step Behind"

"One Step Behind"


Come in sit by the light
Tell us everything that happened tonight
We know you were there
There at the scene of the crime
No, no you've got it all wrong
You can't blame me
For something I haven't done
It was all just a big mistake

And now you can't think straight
Cause they're onto you now
And they've figured you out
Cause they're onto you now

They're always just one step behind
And you're so scared of what they'll find
And now you're running for your life
You're buying everything they sell
Those pushed will always say they fell
You got a postcard sent from hell

With my strong alibi
You can't frame me, don't even try
You don't know me
You're not even trying to see

And now you can't think straight
Cause they're onto you now
And they've figured you out
Cause they're onto you now

They're always just one step behind
And you're so scared of what they'll find
And now you're running for your life
You're buying everything they sell
Those pushed will always say they fell
You got a postcard sent from hell

And you don't belong
And the papers are never wrong!
Just like the public don't forget, don't forget, don't forget

And now you can't think straight

And now you can't think straight
You're not even trying to see

They're always just one step behind
And you're so scared of what they'll find
And now you're running for your life
You're buying everything they sell
Those pushed will always say they fell
You got a postcard sent from hell

"Order Of The Day"

"Order Of The Day"


You're not the only one.
you're not the only one,
living with what you've done
you'll be the lonely one.
you'll be the lonely one,
when the day is done.

[chorus]
I sent a message that you didn't read,
I tried to call but you hung up on me.
now will you ever come back to me again?

[verse]
how can you carry on.
how can you carry on,
pretend that nothings wrong.
you'll have no-where to run,
no-where to run.
when the day is done.

[chorus]
I sent a message that you didn't read,
I tried to call but you hung up on me.
now will you ever come back to me again?

[verse]
you're not making any sense saying one last time.
you're not making any sense saying one last time.
now that your love has expired,
and your heart seems lost and tired.
you're not making any sense saying one last time.
one last time,
one last time.
one last time,
one last time.
you came undone and lost your way,
you took a bet that you couldn't pay.
I wont forget but I'll refrain,
and bury the memory along with the pain.

hey! the order of the day

hey! the order of the day

hey! the order of the day

[chorus]
I sent a message that you didn't read,
I tried to call but you hung up on me.
now will you ever come back to me again?

"Out Of This Game"
(performed with Yeah Yeah!)

"Out Of This Game"
(performed with Yeah Yeah!)



I wake up in the morning
Put my red boots on
Brush my teeth
Comb my hair
I turn the TV on

I look outside the window
Watch the world go by
See my self a thousand times
Everybody's doing the same time

Woah. Seems like nothing will ever change
I guess I'll never
Get Out Of This Game

In this world I live in
Nothing ever goes on
Seems to me we don't live fast
We just live long

Woah. Seems like nothing will ever change
I guess I'll never
Get Out Of This Game

Now when I wake up
There's much more to be seen
I threw my red boots out the window
With my old routine

Woah. Seems like nothing will ever change
I guess I'll never
Get Out Of This Game

Woah. Seems like nothing will ever change
I guess I'll never
Get Out Of This Game

"Pictures In The Mirror"

"Pictures In The Mirror"


You know we tried to make you understand
We tried to make you realise
Her fame is down and time is up
But somehow it don't seem enough
'Cos the world wouldn't listen anymore

Caught by social evil
Wasn't streetwise after all
Was she there at all?

Pictures in the mirror, pictures she never knew
Pictures in the mirror, always reflecting you
Not such an ordinary life

Pictures in the mirror [x2]

The sun goes down
The moon appears on the horizon
The streets are bare
She walks alone

"Prisoner Of Society"

"Prisoner Of Society"


(one, two) (one, two)
Well we don't need no one to tell us what to do
Oh yes we're on our own
And theres nothing you can do
So we don't need no one like you
To tell us what to do

We don't refer to the past
When showing what we've done
Our generation gap
Means the war is never won
The past is in your head
THE FUTURE'S IN OUR HANDS!

Cos I'm a brat
And I know everything
And I talk back
Cos I'm not listening
To anything you say

And if you count to 3 (one, two, three)
You'll see it's no emergency
You'll see I'm not the enemy
Just a Prisoner of Society

Well we don't need no one to tell us what to do
Oh yes we're on our own
And theres nothing you can do
So we don't need no one like you
To tell us what to do

Cos I'm a brat
And I know everything
And I talk back
Cos I'm not listening
To anything you say

And if you count to 3 (one, two, three)
You'll see it's no emergency
You'll see I'm not the enemy
Just a Prisoner of Society

(GO!)

Well we don't need no one to tell us what to do
Oh yes we're on our own
And theres nothing you can do
So we don't need no one like you
To tell us what to do

We don't refer to the past
When showing what we've done
Our generation gap
Means the war is never won
So we don't need no one like you
To tell us what to do

Cos I'm a brat

Cos I'm not listening

And if you count to 3 (one, two, three)
You'll see it's no emergency
You'll see I'm not the enemy
Just a Prisoner of Society

Society, Society
Society, Society
Society!

"Prisoner On The Inside"

"Prisoner On The Inside"


She used to give me roses
I wish she could again
But that was on the outside
And things were different then

I dreamed we were together
With a love so clear and strong
But that was on the outside
Where did I go wrong

On the inside the sun still shines
And the rain falls down
But the sun and rain are prisoners too
When the morning comes around

Last night I dreamed we were together
Sharing all the love we've known
Till I had to face the nightmare
Of waking up alone

On the inside the sun still shines
And the rain falls down
But the sun and rain are prisoners too
When the morning comes around

"Problem"

"Problem"


You never seem to know what's right
Stuck in a fight
But there's nobody else just you

You're standing there alone again
Just like a child without a friend

It's not my problem anymore
If you don't know what's going on
It's not my problem anymore
So don't come crying to me
When the weight begins to fall

Your standing in a crowded room
This is your life
But there's nobody who'll see you

You're standing there alone again
Just like a child without a friend

It's not my problem anymore
If you don't know what's going on
It's not my problem anymore
So don't come crying to me
When the weight begins to fall

You never seem to know what's right
Stuck in a fight
But there's nobody else just you

You're standing there alone again
Just like a child without a friend

It's not my problem anymore
If you don't know what's going on
It's not my problem anymore
So don't come crying to me
When the weight begins to fall

"Putting You Down"

"Putting You Down"


So you left the home you never had
On your own how could things get so bad?
And you hitched a ride to the unknown
Forgot your address and your mobile phone

Would they all remember me?
And forget about their needs?

There's nobody putting you down
Just spending your life hangin' around
There's nobody putting you down
But you're draggin' your life on the ground

And you said some things you didn't mean
A lot of what you thought
Wasn't half that it seemed
So you hitched a ride to the unknown
Forgot your address and your mobile phone

As you get older
The chip on your shoulder
Spreading like a disease

Spendin' your life
Hangin' around
There's nobody putting you down

"Raise The Alarm"

"Raise The Alarm"


Whoa, whoa...

I may not believe in God,
It doesn't mean I'm a lesser person.
I still have a heart,
And I know what it feels like to be broken.

I may not believe in Jesus,
But I believe in sacrifice.
Life doesn't always stand a reason,
And no one ever gets a chance to live it twice.

But I'd rather risk my fate,
Than to lose my faith,
In the lovin', the hatin',
The constant debatin',
The chaos, the calm.
Raise the alarm.

The living that die,
The constant deny,
The chaos, the calm.
Raise the alarm.

Whoa, whoa...
Raise the alarm.

I may not believe in regrets,
But I believe in salvation.
Some things I'd rather forget.
We choose what we see,
And we see what we choose to believe.

In the name of the father,
The son, and the holy ghost.
I'm not concerned with religion,
After all it's what's inside that matters most.

But I'd rather risk my fate,
Than to lose my faith,
In the lovin', the hatin',
The constant debatin',
The chaos, the calm.
Raise the alarm.

The living that die,
The constant deny,
The chaos, the calm.
Raise the alarm.

Whoa, whoa...
Raise the alarm.
Whoa, whoa...
Raise the alarm.

But I'd rather risk my fate,
Than to lose my faith,
Yeah, I'd rather risk my fate,
Than to lose my faith,
In the lovin', the hatin',
The constant debatin',
The chaos, the calm.
Raise the alarm.

The living that die,
The constant deny
The chaos, the calm,
Raise the alarm

Whoa, whoa...
Raise the alarm
Whoa, whoa...
Raise the alarm.
(Yeah!)
Raise the alarm.

"Read About It"

"Read About It"


No rest for the wicked
No mercy for the rotten
Go create some madness

More coverage than the homeless
Your image here to stay
Your photo on the cover of
Your photo can't get enough

You and I, we read about it
We idolise the criminal mind
Is there a method in our madness?
And we fantasise of committing crimes
And so we remain

You're taken by the story
No escaping from the glory
Never to be forgotten
Now you're believin' in your press
You're not going anyway

Your Photo on the cover of
Your photo can't get enough

[Chorus]

And so we remain
And so we became
History remains
History today
