Evil (A Chorus Of Resistance)
Everyone down on the floor
No sudden moves and lock the door
I've got this feeling I'm chasing
I'll never rest until I find it
See, I've been plotting away
In my heart every day
To put this plan into action
And though I try to resist
I find the thing is this
Until I get it there's no satisfaction
I want something you have
You must meet my demands
Don't move, hand it over
I won't stop until it's in my hands
Deep in the recess of every man is a thief, a robber, a criminal
Below the surface of every hero is an envy, a restless evil
See, I've been plotting away
In my heart every day
To put this plan into action
And though I try to resist
I find the thing is this
Until I get it there's no satisfaction
I want something you have
You must meet my demands
Don't move, hand it over
I won't stop until it's in my hands
Put Your Lips To The TV
You want my head in a basket
(cause) This town ain't big enough for
The two of us are disaster
I'm not your 'stepchild' anymore
You can kiss me goodbye
Just put your lips to the TV
You want my head on a platter
Cause I'm no longer in your control
You can kiss me goodbye
Just put your lips to the TV
Cause it's the only way you will see me again
The Forces Of Radio Have Dropped A Viper Into The Rhythm Section
I'm
Analog
Two-inch tape
Vintage, warm with a potent
Hiss
Venomous
Memories
Always ready to strike like this
At your heels
Don't you feel
Like a trip
Back to 96?
Insert cassettes
And then push eject
I'm flashing red
Can't let the past
Stay in it's cave
Cause rears it's head
Insert cassettes
And then push eject
You're flashing red
You don't expect
Me to rear my head
But I'm not dead
Like
VCRs
I recall
I remember the magic
So
I can take
One last trip
Down the lane of your memory
Till you twist
Like a viper
On my shins
And then you remind me...
Once
Long ago
You
Were the hope
But
I forgot
Sweet
You're no tomorrow
Molotov
They dance all night
And sleep all day
They live for nothing
But this escape
Too bad they can't say at the break of the dawn that the night was a dream
Yet nobody can say at the rise of the sun that it was what it seemed
I know I've swallowed it all
But I could never be full
And now they call me a fool for leaving
Home with you
Alone with you
They drink all night
And ache all day
Too bad they can't say at the break of the dawn that the night was a dream
Yet nobody can say at the rise of the sun that it was what it seemed
I know they've swallowed it all and they could never be full
And now they call me a fool for leaving?
And I could never be sure...
Now I'm leaving
Now I'm leaving
So when all those who are convinced there's nothing but this
Come to us and condescend we know we won't miss emptiness
Slaves To Liberty
Your worth is so much more than words
I know the sound of it's absurd
They'll say it's easier to wallow in distress
It might be true but then we'd
Look like all of them
I know you look for clever words
But simple truth's what you deserve
I have a lifetime of this evidence in me
But you don't need a story
You need broken legs
Call
On Me
We'll rise upon our knees
Call
On me
Cause I'm not that far away
Call
On me
We're slaves to liberty
Call
On Me
Cause I'm not that far
I'm not that far away
Let go the contraband, my friend
We cannot gravitate to destination death
I see your legs are broken bones
Maybe instead of running, just crawl right back to home
Pull Me Closer, Violent Dancer
I've got a monster to tame
It looks alot like your face
I said to let go of all your inhibitions with me
We'll make all our worries disappear with our feet
Don't worry
Don't worry
Come with me
Come with me
And move now
Slowly
Slowly
Sweat it out
Sweat it out
Don't stop pulling me closer
I love it when you let me fall to your hands
My favorite thing is when you don't stop dancing
I've got a monster to please
It says to dance with me
Pppplease violent dancer drag yourself to the floor
And don't stop swinging till we break down the doors
And swing now
Swing now
Twist around
Twist around
And move now
Further
Further
Sweat it out
Sweat it out
Illuminate
Night falls
Like a vulture
On it's prey
Wicked culture
Black Pitch
And getting darker
It's time to spark ourselves in this hour
When they hide
In the shadows of night
Light em up
Light em up
In the dark
Let's ignite
We're the ones
You're laid bare
Foolish mortal
Dark deeds
Mass inferno
Covert crimes
Closet Portal
Your skeletons are burning eternal
The Sanctuary Hum
Smile, wave
Convince the sanctuary, our charade
Though you're the object of my deepest rage
Just counterfeit this holiness for me
And everything will be OK
My sweet one
You tell no lies
The greatest reason to be despised
But we must pretend
Your broken wrist
Just happened when you fell off your bike
So this is
The reason
The sanctuary hums
God save us
God save us
From your chosen ones
Smile, wave
Protect his pulpit from all suffering
He'll make celebrity the end game
So much more valuable than family
Not even violence can betray...
As long as
You keep your lips
Locked up til the end of this age
And even
If you won't
It's your word up against what he'll say
Cry, Girl
Become the wails of victims unheard
Your tears have given you the calm nerve
So if they're asking you to hide your bane
You just keep screaming to the grave
You'll be
The reason
The helpless celebrate
He takes us
He takes us
From our violent shame
Caveman Jam
You caught me on my way to destroy stages
You stopped me, bitter-faced, to ask me this:
'Yo, I don't understand your agitation.
Why can't you write a track that's sensitive?'
It isn't
Because I
Just didn't think about it
It isn't
Because I
Just can't
Little man
I wish I could
You took a step back when I strarted howling
You turned and told your friends with hostile frowns
'This dude is furious I don't quite get it
I wonder why he doesn't just calm down.'
It isn't
Because I
Just didn't think about it
It isn't
Because I
Just can't
Little girl
I wish I could
I made my way back to the merch booth after
A man confronts me, smiling ear to ear
The sweat is dripping from his face in gallons
And all he wants to do is shake my hand
(Then he) stops to tell me he'd be six feet under
That's if it wasn't for our caveman jams
Normandy
We drove through misty canyons
Our destination seemed resolved
But through highbeams tragedy called
It seemed like a normal evening
We rode in silent walls between
Our wills, like guillotines
I sped on mountain roads as
Your words came piercing through my chest
I'm your usual suspect
I turned my head in defense
That's when I heard you crash
In siren screams like rival factions
Two stories are told
We never knew at any moment
We might just implode
They're watching you crashing into
Crashing into me
And wishing they had what we see
Had what we see
Had what we believe
We were magnetic fields when
We came together long ago
You glowed like burning halos
But we spent a lifetime on the
Beaches of Normandy in vain
what for I can't explain
I looked to you from the darkened highway
Facing you in tears
And in that moment, metal twisted
And you disappeared
They're watching you crashing into
crashing into me
And wishing they had what we see
Had what we see
Had what we believe
A fatal evening's drive is what they always will assume
But I know better as I collide face first with you
