Crowded 03:51
I’m standing Standing all alone in a crowded room I’m standing Standing all alone in a crowded room Start walking through the smoke And I’m looking around Everyone’s living with a blind eye I feel like a poor man holding a suicide note They look away in reply I’m standing Standing all alone in a crowded room Alone in a crowded room What’ve I got to do Alone in a crowded room I’m screaming but I know the air is thick in here It’s thick with battle plans I feel like a hungry child crying in another language They say that they don’t understand I’m standing Standing all alone in a crowded room Alone in a crowded room What’ve I got to do Alone in a crowded room I listen carefully for a warning bell But you could hear a pin drop in this place I feel like a sad sad story no one wants to tell Even if I’m looking in their face I’m standing Standing all alone in a crowded room Alone in a crowded room What’ve I got to do Alone in a crowded room Alone in a crowded room Open your eyes Open your eyes Open your eyes Open your eyes

I’m gonna need something strong tonight Something pretty powerful You’re more than I bargained for I need something pretty powerful Ooh, you’re taking me higher You set me on fire You’re taking me higher You set me on fire I should have known you’d be standing there Looking like a saint and a devil Yeah, I should have known You’d be standing there Looking like a saint and a devil Everybody told me you were changing I didn’t want to believe But now I realize that you were just a Devil all along, a devil all along, a devil along My heart was just a sacrifice Had to be made So you could keep on playing Your selfish little game Oh, you’re taking me higher You set me on fire You’re still taking me higher You set me on fire I should have known you’d be standing there Looking like a saint and a devil I said I should have known You’d be standing there Looking like a saint and a devil Everybody told me you were changing I didn’t want to believe But now I realize that you were just a Devil all along, a devil all along, a devil along You were just a devil all along A devil all along, a devil all along, a devil all along A devil all along, a devil all along...

One dark night there was trouble in the city A voice raised up in a political committee Said, "I don't want your money, too late for your pity" Are you listening? Are you listening? The microphones are on and the cameras are rolling Somebody stands up and says "I'm sick of the controlling And the silver spoon that feeds all your stories and your polling" Are you listening? Are you listening? Sometimes I feel like I'm living in the eye of the storm Spots of color say I'm farther and farther and farther from home Monumental crisis was averted yesterday And the conscience of society is dwindling away But it's all right, we'll bring it home on Election Day So who twisted up our sick reality Threw a trophy to the masses in slick duality Made us all aware of our own mortality Are you listening? Sometimes I feel like I'm living in the eye of the storm Spots of color say I'm farther and farther and farther from home Hey hey, all right, it was on a dark night Lights in the sky, it was the 4th of July Somebody stood up in the blink of an eye Were you listening? Were you listening? Hey hey, all right, it was on a dark night Lights in the sky, it was the 4th of July Shots rang out in the blink of an eye Were you listening? Were you listening? Are you listening? Are you listening?

Chelsea 04:18
If you love me for my strengths You have to accept my weaknesses, too And closing your eyes won't do you any good If you choose me for the good in my heart You get the sinner in me, too And I wouldn't change it even if I could If I could break out of my skin I would in a minute and then I'd like in your arms til the sun came up And you could chalk it up to another lost love I want to watch the world spin round If I could ever get off of the ground I could see everything from a different view And I wouldn't come down til I felt brand new If you love me for my strengths You have to accept my weaknesses, too And closing your eyes won't do you any good If you choose me for the good in my heart You get the sinner in me, too And I wouldn't change it even if I could You say you want to get inside my mind But you're afraid of what you'll find But my intentions are good and my heart is pure And my soul is clean though you're never sure The love runs in my veins Like a sweet, soft, summer rain And I want you to know that when you are near The rhythm is true, everything is clear If you love me for my strengths You have to accept my weaknesses, too And closing your eyes won't do you any good If you choose me for the good in my heart You get the sinner in me, too And I wouldn't change it even if I could Oh, it's never goodbye I guess I'll see you in my dreams

I've been sitting and thinking and watching and hoping But now I've really seen enough You've been sinking in to concrete quicksand How could you still be oblivious? Hold out your hands and close your eyes I'd like to give you something, will you guard it with your life? No no no no, this is not a game We treat the earth like one another, this is such a shame With no apology we've been breaking nature's rules It's a vicious cycle, this is cruel and unusual I noticed that your front yard looks really, really nice How many chemicals did you have to use to make your little paradise? This is really quite an impressive legacy that you're leaving behind But can you look into a child's eyes and say it's gonna be all right And will you say Hold out your hands and close your eyes I'd like to give you something, will you guard it with your life? No no no no, this is not a game We treat the earth like one another, this is such a shame With no apology we've been breaking nature's rules It's a vicious cycle, this is cruel and unusual I'm not gonna settle for apathy I'm not gonna wait around for calamity I'm not gonna be a part of the insanity I said I'm gonna stand up, stand up for humanity No no no no, this is not a game We treat the earth like one another, this is such a shame With no apology we've been breaking nature's rules It's a vicious cycle, this is cruel and unusual

Indigo 03:31
A thousand years ago it tore my heart When I closed my eyes And you were never far I’ll never tell you that you Hold me in your hands No, you’ll never know Cause you could never understand Yeah, indigo Yeah, indigo Oh, darling you’ll never know I love you so Yeah, indigo Well, every now and then I say a prayer Even though I know that I cannot compare I’ll have to face it now, I know that it’s too late And I’ll never hear the words I desperately want to hear you say Yeah, indigo Yeah, indigo Oh, darling you’ll never know I love you so Yeah, indigo Oh, I feel like I’m contaminated Holding him but loving you You know it’s hanging over me And glaring like an old tattoo I tell myself that you were
Never something good for me But it doesn’t stop the screaming for you That goes on inside of me Yeah, indigo Yeah, indigo Oh, darling you’ll never know I love you so Yeah, indigo

Moonlight, just bright enough for me to see you standing there I can feel it in my soul, I can feel you in my soul Sometimes it's so hard for me to let it all go, baby, let it all go But tonight the sky's on fire, the sky's on fire You are there when I turn out the lights You are there when I close my eyes You are there all the night I can't take my eyes off of the place where the shadows dance all night I know that you are there, I know that you are there But when I let my heart drift into that place Well, I know that it's wrong, I know that it's wrong But tonight when the world's on fire, we set the world on fire You are there whenever I'm alone You are there and you don't even know You are there haunting my dreams And I hope you are there when the phone rings And I'm going crazy wondering if you feel it, too I've got so much to gain and even more to lose I'm searching for clues in everything you've ever said If you give me a sign, I just might lose my head If I can feel you, I know that you are there, I know that you are there If I can feel you, I know that you are there, I know that you are there Moonlight, just bright enough for me to see you standing there

War Cry 04:56
Prepare the cannon balls Disarm the shopping malls Take cover, it's an earthquake Your brain's gonna rattle, you soul's about to shake Give me one damn good reason why I shouldn't step up and take my turn I've been protecting my heart from the spark and trying in vain to make the fire burn, well I'm pouring gasoline, striking matches and tossing them all around And let me tell you, just above the sirens You're gonna hear another sound I'm gonna start something tonight And there ain't no way I'm gonna lose this fight I'm not afraid of a little gunpowder I'll find the rhythm and I'll sing it even louder I've got a lethal weapon of choice Got a hungry soul and an angry voice In a world where nobody makes it out alive This is my war cry I'm gonna go down to the tunnels and dig my way into a fiery core I've been roaming around the good side of town just looking for something more But good advice for someone else never worked for me Well I'm a walk on the wild side, the lock that didn't fit your key I'm gonna start something tonight And there ain't no way I'm gonna lose this fight I'm not afraid of a little gunpowder I'll find the rhythm and I'll sing it even louder I've got a lethal weapon of choice Got a hungry soul and an angry voice In a world where nobody makes it out alive This is my war cry In the morning I'll wash myself clean of your disgrace In the calm before the storm I'll wipe paint on my face I'm gonna start something tonight And there ain't no way I'm gonna lose this fight I'm not afraid of a little gunpowder I'll find the rhythm and I'll sing it even louder I've got a lethal weapon of choice Got a hungry soul and an angry voice In a world where nobody makes it out alive This is my war cry

Na na na na na na... Would you turn your back on your mother Would you turn on a friend If you got another chance would you beg for another If you didn't know that hearts mend, mend, mend You're feeling pretty good one day It's so easy to believe everything that he say If you want to be blind to the time out of mind You're going to push me a way, way, way Hey! You've been pushed into a puddle face down They say "get up and try again" But you can still taste the mud even after you stand It's too bad hearts mend Na na na na na na... You're feeling pretty good one day It's so easy to believe everything that he say If you want to be blind to the time out of mind You're going to push me a way, way, way Two bad hearts are made for each other in the end You blow another chance and you beg for another Well, it's too bad hearts mend

We're not standing on the corner with a cup held out In our minds, in our hearts, well there is no doubt Sometimes a little danger is good for the soul There's a fine line between seeing and knowing We're hanging on the line of precarious motion Turn it on, plug it in, crank it up, and then again 1, 2, 3, 4, now we're ready to begin When the stars align Rock and roll is alive And this our time Rock and roll is alive tonight Gold and silver melted into our hands We ain't working no lemonade stand Tell me now why the ordinary makes you feel so good Well, nobody brought us into this life So we could cry about the chances that we denied Turn it on, plug it in, crank it up, and then again 1, 2, 3, 4, now we're ready to begin When the stars align Rock and roll is alive And this is our time Rock and roll is alive tonight When the stars align Rock and roll is alive And this is our time Rock and roll is alive tonight When the stars align and the sounds combine A voice is heard saying all the right words A crowd is near, suddenly it's clear Bittersweet goodbye, then you learn to fly

I'm crazy without you, I'm crazy without you And no, I never knew I needed you like I do I'm crazy without you, I'm crazy without you I'll spend the rest of my life wondering why I'm crazy without you The fire of betrayal never burned so brightly as it did tonight I already lost you, now the rest of my life is standing in line And who would've thought that this could even happen We always said that we would never, ever lose our passion And now I'm crazy without you, I'm crazy without you And no, I never knew I needed you like I do I'm crazy without you, I'm crazy without you I'll spend the rest of my life wondering why I'm crazy without you My dreams all started alone, now they don't know a life without you I know I can make them true by myself, but I don't want to I could tell you again and again that we cannot go on apart But it's all for the best in the end, at least that's what I'm telling my heart And now I'm crazy without you, I'm crazy without you And no, I never knew I needed you like I do I'm crazy without you, I'm crazy without you I'll spend the rest of my life wondering why I'm crazy without you, I'm crazy without you And no, I never knew I needed you like I do I'm crazy without you, I'm crazy without you I'll spend the rest of my life wondering why I'm crazy without you Ooh

So Long 03:56
I'll take a train down those rusty railroad tracks I'll take a train, lord knows I ain't ever coming back It's been so long my baby's been gone I won't play the fool, baby that ain't me anymore, anymore I won't play the fool, this time I'm leaving for sure. It's been so long my baby's been gone Oh, oh I'm packing a bag and leaving the rest behind I'm packing a bag, I've got Chicago on my mind It's been so long my baby's been gone, whoa Oh, oh Don't even know what I'm waiting for anymore It's getting cold and I'm closing the door I know that he's gonna find if he comes back now He'll be sitting alone in a quiet house Oh, oh, oh, ooh yeah Ah... it's been so long, I've got Chicago on my mind Whoa, yeah
