Лирика

1. There Is No God

so you're a self-proclaimed messiah
or maybe a blasphemous liar
a clever hypnotic hoax
a hallowed heretic coax

who tells these stories so old
no, never the same twice told
speaking in distorted truths
I see that Thomas wants some proof

did you come to heal the sick
with one more magician's trick
your generation seeks a sign
while blind keeps leading the blind

so you say there is no God
just a clever man's charade
a once upon a fairy tales fraud
has God made man or man made God
there is no God

confused thy talk in parables
accused thou walk in parallels
a simple game of Simon Says
this month's flavor sciences

today's fact, tomorrow's fiction
leave the rest to superstition
if knowledge comes from learning books
wisdom comes from discerning looks

a fool that says there is no God
don't feel for that sorry sod
who needs proof then he'll believe
I wonder if he's been deceived

So you say there is no God
Just a clever man's charade
A once upon a fairy tale's fraud
Has God made man or man made God
There is no God
There is no God, no
There is no...
There is no God
There is no God

Oooh, so you say there is no God
Just a clever man's charade
A once upon a fairy tale's fraud
Has God made man made God made man or man made God
There is no God, no
There is no...
There is no God
There is no God
There is no God
There is no God

2. Cynical

today don't look so bad,compared to tomorrow
if time is all we have,then we're living on borrowed
yesterday's for fools who try to,try to remember(try to remember)
the good ol' days weren't always that much better

'Cause I'm a cynical (fuck)
Well I ain't nothing but a cynical (fuck)
It don't take much to be a cynical
(All you need is love)
All you need is what

To be a cynical (fuck)
Well I ain't nothing but a cynical (fuck)
It don't take much to be a cynical
(All you need is love)
All you need is what

And whatever you do, someone's done it first
though it's sad but true this is just another verse
if you can't take it with you then what's the use
(What's the use) What's the use
I never saw a u-haul being pulled behind, pulled behind a hearse

'Cause I'm a cynical (fuck)
Well I ain't nothing but a cynical (fuck)
It don't take much to be a cynical
(All you need is love)
All you need is what

To be a cynical (fuck)
Well I ain't nothing but a cynical (fuck)
It don't take much to be a cynical
(All you need is love)
All you need is what

looks like my brighter side
has gotten a bit darker
i must have stepped over
my four leaf clover
'cause someone drank my
half-filled cup of water

Cynical (fuck)
I ain't nothing but a cynical (fuck)
I don't wanna be a cynical
(All you need is love)
All you need is what
To be a cynical (fuck)
I ain't nothing but a cynical (fuck)
I don't wanna be a cynical (fuck)
Cynical (fuck)
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is what...yeah!

3. Tell Me Something I Don't Know

Sun going up, making it's rounds
It keeps on moving, painting the town
Before you know it, she's sinking low
So tell me something, something I don't already know
I don't know

Toward the south, then turning north
Whirlwind spinning on a circular course
The answer my friend returns to blow
So tell me something, something I don't already know

I don't know
Ooh, tell me something I don't know

As for the wise men who pursue their knowledge
Same as the fool, same as the fool, free falling
Prey to folly
Can only one fate befall them both?
So tell me something, something I don't already know

I don't know
Ooh, tell me something I don't know
Tell me something I don't know
Tell me

The answer my friend returns to blow
So tell me something, something I don't already know
I don't know
Ooh, tell me something I don't know
Tell me something I don't know

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

4. Hip Today

you'll be gone tomorrow
you'll be gone tomorrow
gone tomorrow

preoccupied with the latest fashion
hip today, hip today

with wide open eyes
on the next big thing you can cash in
hip today, hip today

no never contrived
it's an overnight sensation
a clever disguise
that hides all of your pretension

Sally's selling out
her seashells for souls
hope I don't die
before I get old

Hip today
You'll be gone tomorrow
You'll be gone tomorrow
Gone tomorrow

Hip today
You'll be gone tomorrow
You'll be gone tomorrow
Gone tomorrow

Dancing in your head
Visions of rave reviews
Hip today, hip today
Believing all that's read
Conceiving another guru
Hip today, hip today

Having made your bed
Falling short of (filling shoes)
You've been left for dead
'Cause there's always someone new

Sally's selling out
her seashells for souls
hope I don't die
before I get old

Hip today
You'll be gone tomorrow
You'll be gone tomorrow
Gone tomorrow

Hip today
You'll be gone tomorrow
You'll be gone tomorrow
Gone tomorrow

Hip today
You'll be gone tomorrow
You'll be gone tomorrow
Gone tomorrow

Hip today
You'll be gone tomorrow
You'll be gone tomorrow
Gone tomorrow

Hip today
You'll be gone tomorrow
You'll be gone tomorrow
Gone tomorrow

Hip today
You'll be gone tomorrow
You'll be gone tomorrow
Gone tomorrow

Hip today
You'll be gone tomorrow
You'll be gone tomorrow
Gone tomorrow

5. Naked

So you want me to take it off
Just to see what's underneath my cloth
I'll show you I'm every inch a man
Measure all that you think you can

Because I'm more than what meets the eye
Flesh and blood is often a white lie
By the cover, you misjudge the book
I said, open your mind and take
Open your mind and take another look

Naked, and I'm unashamed
Naked, with no one to blame
Naked, yeah you want the truth
Naked, here's my birthday suit

Naked
Yeah, I'm naked
I'm naked, naked
Yeah, I'm naked, naked, naked

I pretend to be not anyone
except me and my imperfections
there ain't nothing I'd expect of you
that you wouldn't expect of me
Yeah, you wouldn't expect from me too

Naked, and I'm unashamed
Naked, with no one to blame
Naked, yeah you want the truth
Naked, here's my birthday suit

Naked
Yeah, I'm naked
Yeah, I'm naked, naked
Yeah, I'm naked, naked, naked

Will you excuse me for my ignorance
'Cause I can see only one difference
Those of you who seek to find
While all the others choose to walk and talk blind

Naked
Yeah, I'm naked
Yeah, I'm naked, naked
Yeah, I'm naked, naked, naked

6. Midnight Express

(инструментал)

7. Leave Me Alone

As for this song
I'll set the mood
There's nothing wrong
Prefer solitude

Alone to think
Of what I don't know
The deeper I sink
The further I'll go

Nothing to fear
No need to hide
I'm already there
Came in from outside

Safe in my nest
My home sweet home
No invited guests
I just love to be alone

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
(I wish you would leave me alone)
(I wish you would leave me alone)
I just want to be alone

It's better this way
No one will get hurt
If you stay away
I won't lose my shirt

If I've become
Too defensive
I'm not the one
You're livin' with

Leave me alone
(I wish you would leave me alone)
(I wish you would leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
(I wish you would leave me alone)
(I wish you would leave me alone)
I just want to be alone

Leave me alone
(I wish you would leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
(I wish you would leave me alone)
(I wish you would leave me alone)
I just want to be alone
Leave me alone!

I want to be
I want to be
I want to be alone
I want to be
I want to be
I want to be

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
I just want to be alone

Don't feel sorry
It's not your concern
Only the lonely
Are the ones who get burned

Safe in my nest
My home sweet home
No invited guests
I just want
I just want
I just want to be alone!

(I wish you would leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
(I wish you would leave me alone)
(I wish you would leave me alone)
I just want to be alone

8. No Respect

(Respect) Always everybody looking for some
(Respect) Who do you think you're gonna get it from?
(Respect) Anybody here deserving of none?
(Respect) Tell me what makes you think you're not the one

No respect, no respect none
No respect, no respect none
No respect, no respect none
No respect, no respect none

(Respect) Why be concerned with public adulation?
(Respect) Pat on the back, crying for attention
(Respect) Finding out what it really means to me
(Respect) Honor comes only after humility

No respect, no respect none
No respect, no respect none
No respect, no respect none
No respect, no respect none

(SOLO)

No respect, no respect none
No respect, no respect none
No respect, no respect none
No respect, no respect none

No respect, no respect none
No respect, no respect none
No respect, no respect none
No respect, no respect none

No respect!!!!!

9. Evilangelist

Little lamb come out of the rain
You'll catch your death in the cold
A helping hand to come ease your pain
In peace you'll rest in our fold

I can be a watch towering light
For those of you who can't see
I'll separate the truth from the lies
Blind faithful, come follow me, ha, yeah, yeah

Evilangelist (Evilangelist)
Your name is on my list (Evilangelist)
Yeah, I'm your evilangelist (Evilangelist)
In what god you trust

Close your eyes while I hypnotize
A friend in need to confess
You've been denied, the cock crowed thrice
Surrender all you possess

Evilangelist (Evilangelist)
Your name is on my list (Evilangelist)
Yeah, I'm your evilangelist (Evilangelist)
I was betrayed by a kiss

So many claim to come in thy name
Promising peace they'll bring
Lest ye taste the fruit of the vine
They're just wolves in sheep's clothing

Evilangelist (Evilangelist)
Your name is on my list (Evilangelist)
Yeah, I'm your evilangelist (Evilangelist)
Evilangelist
In God we trust, ha

10. Shadow Boxing

Last round
Looks like I'm in for a fight
Knocked down
There is nowhere left to hide

Stick 'n' move
When I try to run away
Old one-two
I only end up face to face

Mirror mirror
Getting clearer

It's just me and my shadow
Dancing 'round the ring
I try to fight it but then how can I win
When I'm only shadow boxing

Time out
I'm looking for a standing eight
No doubt
Yeah, my inside has come out to play

Bob and weave
It's conscious of my every move
Been deceived
Can no longer ignore the truth

Mirror mirror
Getting clearer
Split decision
Blurs my vision

It's just me and my shadow
Dancing 'round the ring
I try to fight it but then how can I win
When I'm only shadow boxing
When I'm only shadow boxing, yeah, ooh yeah

It's just me and my shadow
Dancing 'round the ring
I try to fight it but then how can I win
When I'm only shadow boxing
When I'm only shadow boxing
Yeah, I'm only!

11. Unconditionally

So tell me what can I do, ooh
That you couldn't see through
From the very start
There is only one thing
Yet to come from my heart

Loving you unconditionally
Loving you unconditionally
That's what I want to be
What you are to me

Can you see why it's so hard
For me to break apart
From all the things that I hold
Closer to a heart
That has grown far too cold?

Loving you unconditionally
Something new to a heart yet not free
That's what I want to be
What you are to me

And though it seems impossible
When both of my hands are full
That's the only condition
That keeps me from loving you, loving you, loving you

Loving you unconditionally
That's what I want to be
Loving you unconditionally
That's what I want to be

Something new
Is what I want to be
It's what you are to me

12. Fair-Weather Faith

Prentending to act so serene
On your so called submissive knees
A shopping list of begging pleas
Adds to your complacencies

As soon as the sun don't shine your way
And you're saving it all up that rainy day
It's a matter of time before you get down 'n' pray

Fair weather faith – protect me from the storm
Fair weather faith – gonna right all my wrongs
Fair weather faith – you know i'm doing alright
Fair weather faith – out of mind, out of sight

Well I wonder if the man upstairs
Will bother to lend an ear
If you took the time to share
Another one of your puppet prayers

I ain't talkin' 'bout the weather

13. Waiting For The Punchline

You might say, hey, I lost my sense of humor
I'm quite surprised I didn't lose it sooner
Why waste my breath on anything less, then talk so trivial
As a man who ran out of material

Why did the chicken go across the road?
To get to the other side
I'm still waiting for the punchline

Whoever said the grass always grows
Greener on the other lied
I'm still waiting for the punchline

The good ol' days I was known to wear a smile
Like all good things, they've gone out of style
I will admit, usually a quick wit I found bemusing
What used to be, no longer are amusing

Why did the chicken go across the road?
To get to the other side
I'm still waiting for the punchline

Whoever said the grass always grows
Greener on the other, lied
I'm still waiting for the punch
Waiting for the punch, waiting for the punch

It's nothing that you said, no nothing that you did
Must have been a bad joke that's gone over my head
What, me worry?
Another tragedy
The latter plus time equals comedy

Why can't I get to the other side?
I'm still waiting for the punchline

Whoever said the grass always grows
Greener on the other, lied
I'm still waiting for the punchline

Waiting
Punchline
Punchline
Yeah, yeah, oh, oh
Yeah
