Lyrics to Give It Up :
You tell yourself that you just can't take this
Enough with the madness
This has gotta
Stop now
Some how

And every time that you think you're ok
You get in your own way
But soon enough you're
Knocked down
Surrounded
By your own denial

Give it up for human nature
Give it up now bit by bit
Give it up for your frustration
Give it up 'cuz kid,
Your future lies here dying and
There's no use crying over it

People tell you to do what they say
They all want it their way
All that you can do is
Bite lip, or
Jump ship

So learn to smile at the ones that hate you
No matter what they do
They will never
Make it there
To where you
Know you will be going

Give it up for human nature
Give it up now bit by bit
Give it up for your frustration
Give it up 'cuz kid,
Your future lies here dying and
There's no use crying over it

You'll be the last one
To know when you're all done
But that's just the way life is now
You gotta take what you get
And give it up somehow...

Give it up for human nature
Give it up now bit by bit
Give it up for your frustration
Give it up 'cuz kid,
Your future lies here dying and
There's no use crying over it

Give it up for your anger
Give it up for the tried and true
Give it up for everyone
Who's ever gone and given up on you

Give it up for human nature
Give it up now bit by bit
Give it up for your frustration
Give it up 'cuz kid,
Your future lies here dying and
There's no denying
If you're full complying then
There's no use crying over it

Before I Wake Lyrics
by I Fight Dragons

Here we are again
Like we've always been
Since time uncertain

Who's supposed to start?
Where do we begin?
When we've got so far to go
And we know

Tomorrow everything will change
Today will never seem the same
So I will try to find a way
To say everything I need to say
And If I should die before I wake
Remember everything we said today

Everybody says
Everything must go
Well I don't think so

Something still remains
In everyone we know
Since far away and long ago
And it shows

Tomorrow everything will change
Today will never seem the same
So I will try to find a way
To say everything I need to say
And If I should die before I wake
Remember everything we said today

Tomorrow everything will change
Today will never seem the same
So I will try to find a way
To say everything I need to say
And If I should die before I wake
Remember everything we said today

Disaster Hearts Lyrics
by I Fight Dragons
Come back, rebound
Simpler said than found
Night by night, and tear by tear
Somehow, someway we all get to someday
Mile by mile, and fear by fear

Disaster has a way of remaking our hearts
Long after all the thunder and scars
Days pass and bit by bit we began to restart
Our disaster hearts

Stronger, wiser
You'll be fine they tell ya
Life will heal and love will bind
Weaker, slower
Keep in mind it's over
Take a breath and take your time

Disaster has a way of remaking our hearts
Long after all the thunder and scars
Days pass and bit by bit we began to restart
Our disaster hearts

We will be the last ones (we will be the last ones)
To finally see when we're done (to finally see when we're done)
And we will be the last ones
To finally see when we're done

Disaster has a way of remaking our hearts
Long after all the thunder and scars
Days pass and bit by bit we began to restart
Our disaster hearts
Disaster has a way of remaking our hearts... (3x)

Fight for You Lyrics
by I Fight Dragons

To the left, to the right
I can feel it all around
Out to get you and I
Out to try and break us down

They will come with the strength and the fire
And a numb beat of drums
And the song of the sirens in our ears
That will bring em all to tears dear

Yes I will fight for you
You and me against the world is nothing new
Now and forever true
If you'll be mine then I will fight for you

So we stand back to back
and we smile as they come
Cause they plan for attack
Knowing we've already won

Save the girl and the world will be jealous
Wouldn't you if you knew that the truth
Was the girl will take you too
And theres nothing they can do
To you

Yes I will fight for you
You and me against the world is nothing new
Now and forever true
If you'll be mine then I will fight for you

Only the two of us know how (only the two of us know how)
Nothing can come between us now (nothing can come between us now)
Nothing can come between us now

Yes I will fight for you
You and me against the world is nothing new
Now and forever true
If you'll be mine then I will fight

Yes I will fight for you
You and me against the world is nothing new
Now and forever true
If you'll be mine then I will fight for you

Only the two of us know how (then I will fight for you)
Nothing can come between us now (then I will fight for you)

My Way Lyrics
by I Fight Dragons

I'm not perfect I'm just who I am
Is that ok?
Perfect's overdone and overplanned
In the modern age
Still you say you know what's best
I disagree but I know less so
Then that leaves us back where we began
Your way

And if you were me you'd do
Everything you wanted to
Well I've got news for you:

Everybody loves to tell me who and what to be
More of what they always want and less and less of me
I don't give a damn what they all say
I'm not here to save the day
I may lose it but I'll do it My Way

Friends and teachers heads of state and fools all say
"Lay it down and play it by the rules"
Their way

But if they all know so well
Why can no one ever tell?
And they ask why we rebel...

Everybody loves to tell me who and what to be
More of what they always want and less and less of me
I don't give a damn what they all say
I'm not here to save the day
I may lose it but I'll do it My Way

Everybody wants to prove to the world they got it figured out
Be somebody with the nerve to admit it when it's all in doubt
In the end it's not pretend it's what the world's about

Everybody loves to tell me who and what to be
More of what they always want and less and less of me
I don't give a damn what they all say
I'm not here to save the day
I may lose it but I'll do it My Way

I may lose it but I'll lose it My Way

No Kontrol Lyrics
by I Fight Dragons

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh

They say the root of all the evil is the dollar sign
That pain and problems are the product of the bottom line
I beg to differ as a victim of the new decline
It's not the money
It's the failure to define

Chorus:
There's no control
There's no control
'Cuz we're out of it
We let it go
We overload
And we're proud of it

They try to tell me that the future is in my hands
I hate to be the one to break it but there's no chance
My generation's self destruction has a master plan:
More is more and out the door is where we stand

Chorus

Everyone says
Walk don't run
But we play dumb

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh

Chorus

Not I Lyrics
by I Fight Dragons

Everything you plant will die
The seasons all will pass you by
All your plans will go awry
So, who's afraid to live?
Not I.

Everyone you know will lie
Those you trust will make you cry
All "hello"s end with goodbye
So, who's afraid to love?
Not I.

Chorus:
And I'll let this go
Keep it to myself
If no one knows, I'll be fine
But even so, it's hard to walk that line

Liars look you in the eye
You will fall before you fly
And no one here can tell you why
So, who's afraid to laugh?
Not I.

Chorus

'Cuz everything you plant will die
Those you trust will make you cry
And no one here can tell you why
So, who's afraid to live?
Not I.

So, who's afraid to live?
Not I.
So, who's afraid to live?
Not I.

Why Bother? Lyrics
by I Fight Dragons

I know I should get next to you
You got a look that makes me think you're cool
But it's just sexual attraction
Not something real so I'd rather keep wackin'

Why bother? it's gonna hurt me
It's gonna kill when you desert me
This happened to me twice before
It won't happen to me anymore

I've known a lotta girls before
What's the harm in knowin' one more?
Maybe we could even get together
Maybe you could break my heart next summer

Why bother? it's gonna hurt me
It's gonna kill when you desert me
This happened to me twice before
It won't happen to me anymore

It's a cryin' shame I'm all alone
Not with you, nor her, nor anyone
Won't you knock me on my head
Crack it open let me outta here

Why bother? it's gonna hurt me
It's gonna kill when you desert me
This happened to me twice before
It won't happen to me anymore(x2)

Working Lyrics
by I Fight Dragons

Hey, lay low, you know
That everybody has to care
You see that we
All feel the same way you do

Lie to me 'cause honestly
I don't believe that you believe
The lies you tried to feed to me
Like keep your head down
Happy isn't free

'Cause all the boys on the morning train can see
And all the girls with the empty eyes agree
All this working, it's not working
They graduated with a big ten college degree
They're frustrated because it's not how they thought it would be
Sleeping, working, it's not working for me

So I stay in my seat
Try to catch eyes with those around me
But they all stare vacantly on forward
So the future I can see

'Cause all the boys on the morning train can see
And all the girls with the empty eyes agree
All this working, it's not working
They graduated with a big ten college degree
They're frustrated because it's not how they thought it would be
Sleeping, working, it's not working for me

How can I let this go
Know only what I need to know
Can I be only what they tell me I should show
Oh no

'Cause all the boys on the morning train can see
And all the girls with the empty eyes agree
All this working, it's not working
They graduated with a big ten college degree
They're frustrated because it's not how they thought it would be
Sleeping, working, it's not working for me

Lyrics to Heads Up, Hearts Down :
Take a number, dear
Wait your turn, and don't get out of line
Everything you fear Paint it black
In the back of your mind
You just go on breathing
Repeating,

Heads up, hearts down
Steady as she goes
Don't break step
Don't make a sound
Heads up, hearts down
No one ever knows
What started this exodus
Onward bound

Your composure slips
Twenty-two and nothing left to do
But resign to this
Bonafide Pilgrim Pride, tried and true so you
Don't question
This lesson

Heads up, hearts down
Steady as she goes
Don't break step
Don't make a sound
Heads up, hearts down
No one ever knows
What started this exodus
Onward bound

I try to find my strength inside the sound
But I can't fight the darkness all around
I'm bleeding 'til I drown

Heads up, hearts down
Steady as she goes
Don't break step
Don't make a sound
Heads up, hearts down
No one ever knows
What started this exodus
Onward bound

Lyrics to Just Decide :
It's a nice day for a swim
Tie the weights around my feet and stumble in
And dare the tide to turn

I've been waiting here so long
Hoping the answers would just somehow come along
It takes time to learn
But I've got no more time to burn

My arms feel stronger now than ever before
My eyes see far beyond the tide
The only sure way to lose
Is being afraid to choose
So just decide
Just decide

It started somewhere in my chest
I rest for daily work then work for daily rest
But not any more
I left that with my clothes back on the shore

My arms feel stronger now than ever before
My eyes see far beyond the tide
The only sure way to lose
Is being afraid to choose
So just decide
Just decide

Get over, get over, before they drag you under
Get over, get over, before they drag you under
Get over, get over, before they drag you under
Get over, get over, go on and take one step
Before that step is taken for you

My arms feel stronger now than ever before
My eyes see far beyond the tide
The only sure way to lose
Is being afraid to choose
So just decide
Just decide

My arms feel stronger now than ever before
My eyes see far beyond the tide
The only sure way to lose
Is being afraid to choose
So just decide
Just decide

It's a nice day for a swim…

Lyrics to Kaboom! :
Life is like a game
We gotta choose a side
And try to play
Before you lose your mind
And fade away
But you could soon be gone

Who's it gonna be?
You gotta tell yourself
Its never me
And you can justify
Most anything
So whose side are you on?

Well, one day they'll drop the bomb
Who knows who they'll drop it on
Maybe someone that you love
So before they get to you
Do what you gotta do
KABOOM! KABOOM!

Don't try to say
That we could win it all
Some other way
Our pride will never fall
And never change
You better toe the line

Cause in the end
The only thing on which
You can depend
To attack is safer
than defend
But not for army line


Well, one day they'll drop the bomb
Who knows who they'll drop it on
Maybe someone that you love
So before they get to you
Do what you gotta do
KABOOM! KABOOM!

Pick which side you're on, drop the bomb (6x)


Well, one day they'll drop the bomb
Who knows who they'll drop it on
Maybe someone that you love
Don't wait for the evidence
No one's really innocent
Send the judgement from above
And before they get to you
Do what you gotta do
KABOOM! KABOOM! KABOOM! KABOOM!

Lyrics to Money :
Green is where it's at
Green will never let you down
You can bet your life on that
Win the bet and buy a crown
'Cause when pushin' comes to shove
Money conquers faith and love
You can buy 'em up for nothing down
Money makes the world go round and round
Round and around
Money makes the world go round and round
Round and around
Sell your soul at cost
Buy the bar another round
Make yourself the boss
Pay your worker's shit and tax the ground
'Cause when money is your friend
Then the party never ends
Hire a crew and you can paint the town
Money makes the world go round and round
Round and around
Money makes the world go round and round
Round and around

(NES Breakdown)

Money makes the world go round and round
Round and around
Money makes the world go round and round
Round and around

Lyrics to No One Likes Superman Anymore :
Strong hands, strong mind
Strong all the time
Straightforward and kind
Too simply defined

'Cause no one wants to know the man who stands for things we outgrow
He's too noble and too blind
We're all older now and we don't need someone to care about
The innocence we left behind

(Don't touch that dial)
It's just that goodness is out of style)

Be dark, be cold (so conflicted)
No hand to hold (heart constricted)
Dark Knight, bright soul (we're addicted)
No room here for the bold

'Cause no one wants to know the man who stands for things we outgrow
He's too noble and too blind
We're all older now and we don't need someone to care about
The innocence we left behind

And what if he can fly?
Hey, well so can I
Jet Blue or United Airlines
And who cares if he's strong
All we see's the wrong we've done
Reflected in his eyes

'Cause no one wants to know the man who stands for things we outgrow
He's too noble and too blind
We're all older now and we
don't need someone to care about
The innocence we left behind

Lyrics to She's Got Sorcery :
She got the moves and she got the power
She knows the truth and she calls the thunder
She does ballet and she's got a black belt
She's not afraid to cast all the bad spells

And when she looks my way
Something in me caves
(1,2,3,4!)

Oh, she knows she got a hold on me
Oh, she's sacrilege and destiny
Oh, it's more than what the eye can see
Secretly
I know she
She's got sorcery (x4)

She doesn't care what you think about her
Jet black hair and eyes like the tiger
Has all the fun and flies with the jet set
Did the Kessel run in under 12 parsecs

But when her eyes meet mine
I can see inside
(1,2,3,4!)

Oh, she knows she got a hold on me
Oh, she's sacrilege and destiny
Oh, it's more than what the eye can see
Secretly
I know she
She's got sorcery (x4)

Oh, she knows she got a hold on me
Oh, she's sacrilege and destiny
(1,2,3,4!)
Oh, it's more than what the eye can see
Secretly
I know she
She's got sorcery (x8)

Lyrics to The Faster The Treadmill :
Sun goes down, sun comes up
Days can drown in a plastic cup
In this town
In this town

Don't know how, don't know when
Something came but it left again
And I'm down
On this town

'Cause no matter what I see
People love to disagree

Every time I say what I want to be
Someone says that's not how it's going to be
Come on, baby, quit your dreaming
Grab your things, the train is leaving
Time to pick that somewhere you want to go
Get there quick or drown in the undertow
Come on baby, time is wasting
Choose a wheel and get to racing

Sun goes up and down again
Hard to stop feeling broken in
And worn down
By this town

All the same
You find me here
Placing blame and escaping fear and self-doubt
And this town

But no matter where I go
People love to tell me, "No"

Every time I say what I want to be
Someone says that's not how it's going to be
Come on, baby, quit your dreaming
Grab your things, the train is leaving
Time to pick that somewhere you want to go
Get there quick or drown in the undertow
Come on, baby, time is wasting
Choose a wheel and get to racing

Every time I say what I want to be
Someone says that's not how it's going to be
Come on baby, quit your dreaming
Grab your things, the train is leaving
And if you feel like nobody understands
You just smile and pray that they clap their hands
Come on, baby, drown your sorrow
Work today and live tomorrow
Time to pick that somewhere you want to go
Get there quick or drown in the undertow
Come on baby, time is wasting
Choose a wheel and get to racing

Lyrics to The Geeks Will Inherit the Earth :
I remember trying to talk to you in high school
Couldn't even get a look cause you were too cool
But now we're older and we're playing by the new rules
We lived and learned

Cause as time goes on
We find we belong
And then in the end

We were the ones you used to make fun of
We stayed at home alone instead of falling in love
We never had the chance to be prom king
We didn't even dance but here's the thing

We got the cars
We got the money
We need some sun but I'm tellin you honey
That the geeks will, geeks will
We will inherit the Earth
(The geeks will inherit the Earth)
Geeks will, we will inherit the Earth
(The geeks will inherit the Earth)

Everybody tries to tell you that you're different
So you run away and wonder if it makes sense
But the day will come when you will get a new chance
The tables turn

And you know you will be
Much more than they see
And time will fly

We were the ones you used to make fun of
We stayed at home alone instead of falling in love
We never got the chance to be prom king
We didn't even dance but here's the thing

We got the cars
We got the money
We need some sun but I'm tellin you honey
That the geeks will, geeks will
We will inherit the Earth
(The geeks will inherit the Earth)
The geeks will, we will inherit the Earth
(The geeks will inherit the Earth)
(The geeks will inherit the Earth)

We were the ones you used to make fun of
We stayed at home alone instead of falling in love
We never got the chance to be prom king
We didn't even dance but here's the thing

We got the cars
We got the money
We need some sun but I'm telling you honey
That the geeks will, geeks will
We will inherit the Earth
(The geeks will inherit the Earth)
The geeks will, we will inherit the Earth

Lyrics to The Power of Love :
The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a hawk to a little white dove
More than a feeling
That's the power of love

Tougher than diamonds, rich like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girl's dream
Make a bad one good make a wrong one right
Power of love that keeps you home at night

Chorus:
Don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's strong, and it's sudden, and it's cruel sometimes
But it might just save your life

That's the power of love

First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it, it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
That's the power makes the world go 'round

Chorus

They say that all in love is fair
Yeah, but you don't care
But you know what to do
When it gets hold of you
And with a little help from above
You'll feel the power of love

Chorus
It don't take money, don't take fame
Don't need no credit card to ride this train
It's tougher than diamonds and stronger than steel
you won't feel nothin' till you feel
Feel the power, that's the power of love
That's the power, you'll feel the power of love
You'll feel the power of love
That's the power of love
You'll feel the power of love
And it might just save your life
That's the power of love

Lyrics to Welcome to the Breakdown :
It's not enough
It never is
I tell myself
I can't take this

Tomorrow comes
I'm back in
Playin' dumb
And waitin' for

Something I could never find
To come knock, knock, knocking down my door
But waiting's such a waste of time, so
Here we go

Chorus:
Break me down
And build me up again
I can take it
The remaking
The more we know
The less we understand
So live the rebound
Welcome to the breakdown

Forget the day
Forget the clock
Forget yourself
And don't stop

'Cuz soon enough
You find out
The only truth
Is the breaking down

And everybody does sometimes
You're lie, lie, lyin' on the floor
Life is in the way you learn from it
Lose or win

Chorus

Lyrics to With You :
You say, “Look outside
Rain is pouring down
Let's stay and hide.”

I say, “What the hell
We've got things to do
But we might as well
Stay and rebel.”

Maybe we will be everything we say
Maybe all that we dream will fade to gray
Either way, I will stay
With you

They say, “Pay your bills
Earn your daily bread
Take all your pills.”

We say, “Look around
At the heart of things
Share what you've found
Stand your ground.”

Maybe we will be everything we say
Maybe all that we dream will fade to gray
Either way, I will stay
With you
