"Dream On"

"Dream On"


Hold my breath and pray for something better
Close my eyes and wish for something better
Much better
Dream on
Dream on

I saw a day when there was no fight to fight
Dream on
Dream on
Nothing more, no hurting for no reason
What reason?
Dream on
Dream on

I heard a world laugh together for a while
Dream on
Dream on
I saw the strength and the love behind the smiles
Dream on
Dream on
Something good for everyone to share
To care
Dream on
Dream on...

"Dreams?"

"Dreams?"


First of all, do you all dream?
Yes we do
The difference between our systems is that
Some of us remember our dreams better than others
Do you all dream, every night?
Yes we do
It's part of, a regular part of our sleep
Yes it is
Does it affect the quality of our sleep?
Only if we wake up from the dreams
And we find our dreams disturbing...

"Face To Face"

"Face To Face"


There's nothing left
The system's gone
It's taking over, over, over
Right before our eyes

It's all over
Hear them cry
It's all over
Hear them sigh
It's all over
Nothing but time, time, time is all we had

Face to face
Room to room
It's taking over

The streets are bare
There's nothing there
It's all gone now, gone now, gone now
Right before our eyes

It's all over
Hear them cry
It's all over
See them die
It's all over
Nothing but time, time, time is all I had

Face to face
Room to room
It's taking over

It's all over
Hear them cry
It's all over
Hear them die
It's all over
Nothing but time, time, time is all we had

Face to face
Room to room
We're taking over, oh!

"Fall"

"Fall"


And I could never give in
And I could never feel small
And I could let it all go
Now I've found somewhere to fall

Wire and chain you cast upon me still remain
Walk with your words within me
Taking their toll upon me
Hearing them still
Running around inside until
Time and again they remind me
No matter how distant you'll never be free

And I could never give in
And I could never feel small
And I could let it all go
Now I've found somewhere to fall

Look at me now
What can you hear
Fierce conversations gone on for years
Fighting back words with words of war
Leaving you speechless but crying for more
Talk to me now and try to explain
To someone who won't jump at shadows again
Finding my feet and I'm standing
Fighting a fight that I can win

And I could never give in
And I could never feel small
And I could let it all go
Now I've found somewhere to fall
And I could never give in
And I could never feel small
And I could let it all go
Now I've found somewhere to fall

"Fear In The Western World"

"Fear In The Western World"


Your picture of yourself is a media myth
Underneath this floor we're on the edge of a cliff
Someone told me Jesus was the Devil's lover
While we masturbated on a magazine cover

[Chorus:]
Dead in the streets
Who's that girl?
Ireland screams
Africa burns
Suburbia stumbles
The tides are turned
I can feel the fear in the Western world
I can feel the fear in the Western world
I can feel the fear in the Western world
I can feel the fear in the Western
The Western world

Mama's still on valium, Daddy puts the news on
TV orphans laugh at the confusion
The audience finds itself on the stage
Fifty million people in a state of decay

[Chorus]

The party goes on behind elevator doors
While the elevator plummets from the 69th floor
All the cars lost in the scrapyards of paradise
The newspaper photographs have all come alive

[Chorus]

I can feel the fear in the Western world
I can feel the fear in the Western world
I can feel the fear in the Western world
I can feel the fear in the Western
The Western world

"Flow"

"Flow"


If I could feel some kind of feeling
Send a message to my soul
Tell my mind to lose control
If I could live a life with some meaning
One that love could not deny
From a shattered soul like me

Sometimes I'll try
And sometimes I'll fall
And sometimes I'll let it flow
Let it flow

If I had a thought so hauntingly beautiful
To send a message through the sky
To fight your hate and lies
If I could grow one seed of belief in me
Something to permeate my mind
Like a virus through my system

Then I'll find
That sometimes I'd lose
And sometimes I'd let it flow
Let it flow

If I could grow one seed of belief in me
Something to permeate my mind
Like a virus through my system

Then I'll find
That sometimes I'd lose
And sometimes I'd let it flow
Let it flow

Let it flow
Let it flow
Let it flow

"Follow Your Heart"

"Follow Your Heart"


Follow, follow
Follow, follow your heart
There must be something to rely on
Follow your own way
Follow, follow
Follow, follow your heart
There must be someone to depend on
Follow your own way

We were the listeners, we were believers
Of a thousand lies
(Follow your heart)
And it gave us what we have today
We heard the preachings, we heard the gospel
Tried to turn the tides
(Follow your heart)
Oh, as it washes our hopes away

Follow, follow
Follow, follow your heart
There must be something to rely on
Follow your own way
Follow, follow
Follow, follow your heart
There must be someone to depend on
Follow your own way

Don't ask the questions, follow the leader
Just like a good boy will
(Follow your heart)
And I wonder what's in store for me
Don't need the prophets, don't need the seer
Don't need the overkill
(Follow your heart)
Oh and I wonder what could be

Follow, follow
Follow, follow your heart
There must be something to rely on
Follow your own way
Follow, follow
Follow, follow your heart
There must be someone to depend on
Follow your own way...

"Future Picture Forever"

"Future Picture Forever"


Time rolled by and I held out my hand and touched an illusion
That I would find...if I could see in the future
And I could tear up the picture
The future picture forever... and ever

Lying was good for I teased it with my hand
When outside in the wilds..
If I could see the future
And I could tear up the picture
The future picture forever... and ever...and ever

I the fool and I just don't understand
One last history...good time to you
If I could see the future
And I could tear up the picture
The future picture forever... and ever...and ever

If I could see the future
And I would tear up the picture
The future picture forever...
ooohhh
The future picture forever...
The future picture forever...
The future picture forever...

"Give It All Back"

"Give It All Back"


So the victim ever comes
And the lies won't give at all
Who asked for a change?
Me!
Just need more time
And to put things right
Give your recline
Give it all up, give it all back

So to be strong never men
Does he hold out for a brand new world?
Who said things could change?
Try!
And how we try
Could break down lies
Tell me what's my line?
Give it all up, give it all back
Give it all up, give it all back
Give it all up, give it all back

Give it all up, give it all back
Give it all up, give it all back
Give it all up, give it all back
Give it all up, give it all back

"Heart Of The Country"

"Heart Of The Country"


I was young and not deceived then
I believed in the heart of the country
How the words sound, how the truth lies
I was moved by the heart of the country

Oh, oh, then I saw through
The charade, the facade,
Now I've had it all

When they ask you who deprives you
You reply your heart of the country
I am older, I am wiser
I despise the heart of the country

Oh, oh, then I felt it
All the tears and the grief
I believed it all

Taking bad times, by the handful
Do what you can for the heart of the country
They dish the dirt out too hard to swallow
Just to follow the heart of the country

Oh, oh, heed the words
And learn the lines
I'll be fine when I have it all
